Starbucks leases at Manly Beach
Staff reporterOctober 19, 2016
The Starbucks coffee chain has leased one of the top corner retail locations on Manly Beach.
It has leased the Ocean Beach Tea Rooms at 110 The Corso.
Despite seemingly receiving a lukewarm reception from local residents, Colliers International agents Blake Harey and Scott Smith secured the chain as tenant for a local investor landlord.
The 152 square metre ground floor retail space that features heritage facades has been leased for seven years, with the option to extend.
They did not rent the first floor wraparound balcony, which remains vacant.
Industry sources estimated that the site would fetch an annual rent of more than $3000 per square metre, according to the local paper.
