Tenancy changes for iconic Hardware Lane building

A Victorian era 1889-built brick office building in Melbourne’s iconic Hardware Lane has undergone some tenancy changes recently following an upgrade.

Located at 67-73 Hardware Lane (pictured below), the recently refurbished building boasts boutique-styled offices with timber floors, as well as French doors leading to Hardware Lane.

Creative communications agency Lavender Communications, who currently occupies the second level, will be moving within the same building to level three from July 1. 

Their new premises offers a larger 182 square metre space, which will be able to accommodate a growing business. 

They have signed a two-year lease at a gross rate of $505 per square metre. The lease was negotiated through Rory White of Gray Johnson Melbourne. 

In addition, a modest rent-free incentive of two months is attached to the transfer of offices, said White. 

Level two has also been leased by Gray Johnson Melbourne, to IT business Magnetised Markets. The company will be moving from 121 Flinders Lane to the new space. Their lease stipulates a gross rate of $475 per square metre.
