Office space in the revamped 1952 Museum of Contemporary Art building with views over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House has become available for lease.

It’s the first time the opportunity to secure the offices in the past decade within the iconic MCA building at 140 George Street, The Rocks.

The MCA is currently undergoing an expansion with an adjoining $53 million new wing redevelopment.

“The leasing offering includes whole floors of approximately 882 square metres or part floors of approximately 420 square metres,” Ray White commercial leasing director Jeremy Piggin says. His fellow leasing director Anthony Harris says the rentals will start from $800 per square metre gross.

The Art Deco-style MCA building was opened in 1952 and for 37 years was the home of the Maritime Services Board.

The building was given to the MCA by the NSW government in 1989 when the MSB moved to larger premises.

Piggin said tenants also had the potential to secure a corporate relationship with the MCA and its function venues.

The MCA refurbishment is due to be completed later this year.
