The high-profile 780sqm site, situated on the corner of King William and Sturt Streets, was sold by the Mortgagee in Possession to South Australian family enterprise AA Advancements, following a strong expression of interest campaign that drew attention from a wide range of prospective developers and investors.
RWC Adelaide Partners Jack Dyson, Harry Einarson and Managing Partner Oliver Totani managed the campaign, which concluded with the deal being transacted shortly after the EOI closed.
“This property offered an extremely rare chance to secure a triple-fronted development site with direct tram line access in the tightly held southern pocket of Adelaide’s CBD,” Mr Dyson said.
“With its Capital City zoning allowing for development up to 53 metres and an existing approval for a 16-storey serviced accommodation tower, the site presents outstanding potential for a major project in a location that is quickly growing in appeal.”
Previously home to the King’s Head Hotel, a once-bustling venue known for championing South Australian produce and beverages, the property has sat dormant for some time following a series of unsuccessful redevelopment attempts.
“After several false starts in recent years, this sale marks a turning point for the site,” Mr Einarson said.
