The Store Commercial & Retail Brings New Generation Workspace and Retail Opportunities to Newcastle’s West End

Premium retail and commercial accommodation is now available for sale or lease within one of Newcastle's fastest-growing transport and business precincts.

Colliers is pleased to exclusively present The Store Commercial & Retail, landmark For Sale or Lease opportunities at 854 Hunter Street, Newcastle, located within one of the city’s most rapidly transforming CBD precincts.

Forming part of the broader mixed‑use The Store development, the offering comprises high‑quality ground‑floor retail and new generation commercial office suites positioned directly adjacent to the Newcastle Transport Interchange.

The development delivers a total of 422 sqm of retail accommodation across three ground‑floor tenancies, complemented by six premium commercial office suites totalling 2,730 sqm across the East and West Towers. Designed to perform and positioned to succeed, The Store provides flexible options for investors, owner‑occupiers and tenants seeking exposure to a transport‑led, high‑growth CBD location.

“The Store represents a rare convergence of connectivity, design quality and genuine mixed-use activation in Newcastle’s evolving West End. With immediate access to the Newcastle Transport Interchange and a rapidly growing residential and commercial catchment, we’re seeing strong enquiry from both occupiers and investors seeking exposure to a high-growth, infrastructure-led precinct,” said Luke Rutledge, Director, Newcastle | Investment Services at Colliers.

The retail component enjoys strong frontage to Hunter Street, expansive glazed facades and excellent natural light with tenancy sizes ranging from 113 to 174 sqm. These spaces are ideally suited to retail, food and beverage or professional service uses benefiting from strong pedestrian activity generated by the adjacent transport interchange and surrounding residential density.

Above, the commercial offering comprises six efficiently designed office suites ranging from 423 to 517 sqm each featuring generous floor plates, private amenities and on‑site parking. The accommodation has been designed to meet the requirements of modern occupiers, appealing to corporates, SMEs and government tenants seeking high-quality space amid limited supply of new commercial stock in Newcastle.

The Store is located within Newcastle’s West End, a precinct undergoing significant urban renewal underpinned by infrastructure investment, mixed‑use development and growing commercial demand. Its immediate proximity to the Newcastle Transport Interchange provides seamless connectivity via light rail, heavy rail and bus services, positioning the asset at a key gateway to the CBD and broader Hunter Region.

“The Store has been designed as a place that contributes to the fabric and future identity of Newcastle’s West End,” added Geoff Dimarhos, Senior Development Manager at DOMA Group.

“Our focus has been on delivering a highly functional workplace and retail environment that prioritises natural light, connection to transport and integration with the surrounding community. We see this development as part of a broader vision to create enduring, human‑centred places that support the city’s continued growth and evolution.”

Since establishing a presence in Newcastle in 2013, DOMA Group has played a defining role in the city's urban renewal. Through landmark developments such as The Store and the forthcoming Newcastle Quay precinct, the national developer is setting a new benchmark for mixed-use design, bringing a commitment to place-making, liveability and great architecture that creates spaces where people want to live, work and gather for generations to come.

“The flexibility of The Store is a key driver of its appeal, offering options to purchase or lease across both retail and commercial components,” added Michael Chapman, Director, Newcastle | Investment Services at Colliers.

“This allows a broad range of buyers from private investors and SMSFs through to owner‑occupiers and institutional groups to tailor outcomes that suit their strategy, whether that’s securing a long‑term investment or establishing a presence within Newcastle’s emerging CBD core.”

With its strategic location, strong fundamentals and integration within one of Newcastle’s most significant mixed‑use developments, The Store Commercial & Retail represents a compelling opportunity to secure or occupy premium space at the centre of a city undergoing sustained transformation.
