Church

Commercial businesses are buying an increasing number of traditional church properties as church congregations choose to vacate in favour of less conventional buildings.

What does the future hold for this gorgeous, historic building by the water in prestigious Sandy Bay?

An historic 1800s church is on the market in central Hobart, complete with a landmark spire and ‘time capsule’ buried beneath the stone foundation.

A heritage-listed Katoomba landmark is on the market and the hope is that a new owner will bring the rundown property back to life.

An eclectic mix of commercial properties drew interest last week, from a warehouse conversion in Melbourne’s inner-west to a billionaire’s refined estate and mansion in the Gold Coast hinterland with a $50 million price tag and a beautiful church in downtown Hobart.

Converted churches have long been heralded as heavenly homes, but buyers are taking former places of worship to celestial heights, creatively repurposing them into commercial and community enterprises.

Old churches with the potential to be converted into heavenly homes are popular pieces of real estate. But what about one that could be converted into a business?

A church site has sold for a record price to a temple group that outbid other religious organisations, developers and industrial occupiers vying for the western Sydney property.

A former Catholic seminary in Adelaide’s east – which once served as a training ground for priests – has sold to a private buyer who plans to turn the property into a home.
