This 1960s Canberra warehouse offers NYC loft vibes

Fyshwick is a suburb of Canberra, Australia, known for its commercial and light industrial character. Among its warehouses and commercial buildings is this 1960s mixed-use space that channels New York loft stylings.

The two-storey brick building sits on a corner plot on Geelong Street and has previously been a joiner’s workshop and event space, among other roles. Though a commercial listing, zoning permits on-site residency, and the property has the potential as a great live/work space for a gallerist, photography studio, or showroom.

Its interior features raftered ceilings and an industrial vibe, with plenty of painted brickwork, hardwood floors, and rugged steel beams. The ground floor has a curving blue bar, backed by shelving and steel-framed arches, while the upper floor, accessed via a timber staircase with metal sidings, is a 270 sq m blank slate.

Frank Giorgi and Pietta Roberts of Ray White Commercial Canberra hold the listing for the Canberra property, which is asking for AUD $2.275m. Included is a 400 sq m standing yard to the rear for parking.
