CONTENTS GEORGE STREET RE-OPENS After a two year period of road works and office demolitions in the CBD, January and the new 01 Fitness Spot: The Barre Project year brings some much needed reprieve from the 03 Investa: Going Long on Wellness challenging sights and sounds. 05 Intermain: Grand Designs? 07 Case Study: Bluesource 08 Krost: Key work 09 Gensler: The Experience Index Some sections of the light rail works on George Street are now complete and it’s exciting to see the revelation of a new feeling of openness and connectivity on George Street - with shoppers, office workers and tourists all benefiting from the new functionality. Almost European in feel, I’m enjoying the feeling of a new ‘heart’ to the city, with street furniture, new trees and a buzzy new energy. The retailers, office workers and owners who have been adversely affected by the George Street works are now benefiting from a new lease on life for George Street and how it will be used. Over time, this benefit will surely increase. 11 JHK Legal: Unfair Contract Terms 12 December Transactions We will no doubt see some pull effect of retailers away from Pitt Street mall and back to George Street to make this precinct a desirable place to work, shop and walk again. 13 Focus Listings 15 Tenant Reb Brief Table 17 Recent Transactions 18 Find Your Perfect Space ANTHONY HARRIS M: 0409 319 060 Our outlook on the office market for 2018 is positive - there’s limited new supply of office space for lease which is maintaining high rental levels, tenant demand is less frenetic than last year and office deals are taking longer because of this. As Sydney now unfurls its fresh tracks and a new facade, it maintains its position as the best city to position your business to flourish and work in. Let’s get to it! All the best.
