The property comprises 8,750sqm of strata land area across two titles, with an internal area of over 12,000sqm housed within a large-format, early 20th-century industrial structure. The buildings, constructed between 1902 and 1904, feature truss heights exceeding 21 metres, offering substantial scope for adaptive reuse or redevelopment, subject to planning approvals.
“Opportunities of this architectural scale and historical significance are uncommon within the metropolitan area,” said Brett Wilkins, director at RWC WA. “The site presents a rare interface between heritage preservation and modern redevelopment in one of Perth’s key growth precincts.”
Positioned directly opposite the new Metronet Midland Station, St John of God Hospital, Curtin University Medical School, and the WA Police Operations Centre, the property is centrally located within the Midland Health and Knowledge Precinct, a growing urban renewal area focused on healthcare, research, and education.
Michael Milne, senior commercial property advisor at RWC WA, said the site may appeal to a diverse range of groups.
“There may be interest from developers, healthcare providers, tertiary institutions, and specialist users looking for large, adaptable spaces in close proximity to infrastructure and major services,” he said. “It could also attract creative and cultural groups with a focus on heritage-sensitive design.”
Originally built as part of Western Australia’s early industrial expansion, the workshops were constructed using local clay and imported steel from Britain. The buildings have since undergone substantial heritage restoration under the direction of the Midland Redevelopment Authority (now DevelopmentWA). While Lot 1 has already been converted into a major medical facility, Lots 2 and 3 remain vacant and retain their original form.
"Midland continues to see significant public and private investment, particularly through projects associated with the Metronet network and regional health infrastructure," Mr Milne said.
With a catchment exceeding 400,000 people, the area is becoming an important urban hub for the broader eastern corridor of Perth.
The listing is being handled via an Expressions of Interest campaign, with no fixed price guide.
