Eureka Tower Skydeck and restaurant for sale
Melbourne’s popular Skydeck and high-end restaurant at the top of the soaring Eureka Tower skyscraper is for sale with expectations around $45 million.
Eureka Tower’s top two levels, 88 and 89, include the tourist drawcard Eureka Skydeck and formal dining restaurant and event space Eureka 89.
Both locations are a staple for many Melbourne visitors who use the platforms to get views over the city, Port Phillip Bay and inland to Melbourne’s northern ranges.
The strata titled properties are owned by tourism and hospitality operator Journey Beyond, which also operates numerous other tourism ventures, including The Ghan, Indian Pacific, Outback Spirit Tours and Horizontal Falls Seaplane Adventures.
Chief executive Chris Tallent said the Skydeck and restaurant attracted more than 500,000 visitors annually. The Skydeck is being redeveloped and will be completed in the middle of this year.
JLL’s Josh Rutman, MingXuan Li, Michael Godfrey and Peter Harper will manage the sale.
Mr Rutman said both properties came with dedicated lift access from the ground floor and a long-term 20-year lease to Journey Beyond at annual rent of $3.3 million with fixed increases.
Both offer “highly functional floor plates with floor to ceiling windows taking advantage of unparalleled 360-degree views of Melbourne,” he said.
Eureka Tower was the tallest building in Melbourne until it was overtaken by Australia 108 nearby.
