Project Overview
A major asset owner was managing a situation common in high-value commercial property portfolios: multiple vacant tenancies across four levels of their prominent Sydney CBD building at 44 Market Street. Despite the property’s desirable location, the outdated spaces failed to meet modern tenant expectations or compete effectively in the market.
With leasing performance in focus, the client engaged Nutbrook Group to revitalise the tenancies and elevate the asset’s market profile. The brief was to deliver premium, market-ready office spaces that aligned with contemporary workplace needs—within a live, fully operational building.
Our Approach
Nutbrook Group led the project from concept through to completion, providing full-service project management to deliver a coordinated, risk-mitigated fitout program across Levels 3, 8, 15, and 24.
Key elements of our delivery approach included:
Strategic Stakeholder Engagement: Worked closely with leasing agents to understand current market demands and tenant preferences, ensuring the final designs were not only functional and flexible but also highly desirable.
Multi-Contractor Management: Seamlessly coordinated three design and construct (D&C) contractors—Inscape, ProjectOne, and CBD—across different levels. Our centralised oversight ensured consistent quality and adherence to timelines.
Integrated Design Thinking: Delivered bespoke layouts for each tenancy incorporating open-plan workspaces, private offices, breakout zones, meeting areas, and quiet spaces to support diverse working styles.
Live Building Delivery: Implemented a phased construction approach that maintained business-as-usual operations for existing tenants. No disruptions were experienced during the project, thanks to meticulous planning and communication.
Compliance and Risk Management: Ensured all fitouts met or exceeded the requirements of building guidelines and Australian Standards, reducing risk and providing assurance to the client.
Asset-Wide Enhancements: As part of a broader building strategy, upgraded lift lobbies on Levels 3 and 24 to enhance common areas and elevate the overall asset appeal.
The Benefits
Immediate Impact:
The upgraded tenancies were transformed into premium, fully-leasable office environments that align with market expectations.
The fresh, contemporary designs significantly increased the appeal to prospective tenants.
The asset’s profile was immediately lifted, helping it remain competitive in Sydney’s dynamic leasing market.
Long-Term Value Creation:
The project repositioned 44 Market Street as a sought-after destination in the CBD, unlocking the potential of previously underutilised floors.
Enhanced building amenities and modernised infrastructure support higher rental yields and improved lease-up speed.
The quality of delivery and seamless execution demonstrated Nutbrook Group’s ability to contribute to a long-term asset enhancement strategy.
