63 Anderson Street is an excellent example of the potential optimised investment returns through redevelopment. This existing Queenslander had a chequered history of add-ons, but retained a sound foundation for a commercial building. By grafting a lightweight contemporary frontage onto the original 2storey timber building, the premise has taken on a whole new persona on the Anderson Street landscape. Seamlessly refurbishing the interior has created a high quality professional office premises that was leased before completion of the works. The complete upgraded building met the needs of the marketplace; in a process that reduced the regulatory processes and achieved substantial savings over complete replacement.
