What's around 51 Reservoir Street

Sensational Raw Site of Pure Character in Supreme Location

Reap the rewards of a creative conversion of this remarkable 271.9 sqm corner site, establishing a signature address in Surry Hills on the doorstep of the city. Boasting the potential for laneway access to parking, the ability to convert this site into a residential building will surely draw plenty of attention. Seasoned city developers will know the value of a residential address this close to the heart of the city, surrounded by cool cafes and only 450 metres from Central Station. The FSR of 3:1 unlocks over 600 sqm of floorspace that can be utilised for a designer apartment building or a visionary city home. Behind the modest facade, the interiors of this amazing site present open space that expands across the three titles. Ceiling heights soar beyond 15m, presenting an interior designer with loft space to shape into a striking visual feature. The fabric of the building itself has great character with a mix of exposed brickwork and steel beams providing raw period and industrial textures. This level of authenticity is unparalleled and will add personality to a residential project. This location can also wok for a variety of commercial alternatives. A mixed used development will showcase a vibrant street frontage with space for a hospitality venture, or a funky design, advertising or consulting firm. This is an exciting location by day and night, with shops, boutique stores and entertainment venues close by. City transport networks are easy to access by foot, and there several, bars and restaurants in the surrounding streets. - Residential or Mixed Use Site - Potential parking access from Beauchamp Lane - Inherent character of raw steel & brick textures - Build up 2-3 levels to maximise the floor space - Supreme location for boutique apartments - Bring your architect to design a lavish home - Walk to pocket parks, cafes & supermarkets - Only 450m from Central train & light rail services - Near popular restaurants incl. Chin Chin & Nomad - Easy stroll to nightlife, Taylor Square & CBD bars

Exceptional Service & Unwavering Patience – A Team That Goes Above & Beyond

Selling a heritage-listed property in Sydney City area with no DA is a monumental challenge—but combine that with clients who are (by our own admission) *far from the easiest to please*, and you have what many agents would consider an impossible task. Mark Lowe and his team not only rose to the occasion but redefined what excellence in real estate looks like. Our 10-month campaign—a length that speaks volumes about the property’s complexities and ever-shifting market conditions—became the ultimate showcase of Mark’s skill set. Where others may have given up or pushed for a compromised sale, Mark doubled down on his strategy, adapting to changing dynamics while never losing sight of our goals. The extended timeline didn’t undermine his abilities; on the contrary, it highlighted his unmatched consistency, market insight, and refusal to settle for anything less than the best outcome. His deep understanding of development potential, pricing nuance, and buyer psychology kept us ahead of the curve, even when selling "as-is" seemed an uphill battle. Through it all, his patience never wavered, his professionalism never faltered, and his commitment to acting in our best interest remained absolute. Mark and his team delivered exceptional service under challenging circumstances. Their persistence, market knowledge, and commitment to achieving the best outcome—without ever cutting corners—made all the difference. We highly recommend them to anyone needing an agent who combines expertise with genuine dedication.
