Developers offer space at new Geelong office tower
Developers have unveiled their vision for a 12-storey office complex in central Geelong after the project received the planning green light.
Construction for the 16 Gheringhap St office building is slated to start in early 2020 after developer Raffles Chatter’s planning application was approved by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal earlier this year.
Property advisers to the project, Geelong West commercial real estate agents Darcy Jarman, have placed a full-page advertisement in today’s Advertiser business section touting the project as “the most exciting commercial offering in the heart of the ever evolving Geelong CBD.”
