Charles Sturt University: 77 Berry St, North Sydney
Venn was appointed to source a new property for relocating Charles Sturt University from its previous location.
The process involved conducting a comprehensive market search for properties ranging from 4,000 to 5,000m2 within a 10km radius of the Sydney CBD. The client had specific operational requirements and timing constraints to align with the academic semester schedules.
Relocating a university within NSW is complex, as the chosen premises must obtain formal Planning Consent to operate as an Educational Establishment. The entire process — including appointment as Advisor, conducting a market search, engaging in commercial negotiations, negotiating the lease, obtaining planning approvals, and overseeing minor fit-outs — was completed within a 12-month period.
The campus in North Sydney is CSU's only metropolitan location.
