BUYERS have an incredible opportunity to purchase a real piece of history as the freehold of Leichhardt’s landmark Albert Palais hits the market at 289-295 Parramatta Road.
Built in 1934, The Albert Palais has passed through several hands of ownership and has hosted countless guests, with the 823sq m* site area boasting three street frontages.
The property is for sale by expressions of interest closing 4pm Thursday 10th September or for lease by Ray White Commercial Sydney City Fringe Principal Kristian Morris.

“In close proximity to both Stanmore and Petersham train stations, the asset also offers great access to Sydney CBD and West, via Parramatta Road and City West Link.”
