Fivex Conserves and Converts Newtown Post Office

Commercial property investor Fivex has refurbished one of Sydney’s 19th century buildings, The Newtown Post Office at 292 King Street, into a new $5 million commercial, retail and residential mixed use development.

Fivex, led by Sydney developer Lesli Berger, has upgraded the post office’s historic facade, and constructed six luxury apartments in a separate four-storey building attached to the post office, on the same site.

Suncorp Bank has signed as tenant in the refurbished ground floor retail space, originally the post and telegraph office with cast iron columns and arched masonry girders. 

The second floor of the building, which has Diocletian arched windows, has been leased to hair salon A+H Salon.
