Minton House, the Kings Cross building in which Jon Polson conceived Tropfest, and where a host of noted artists, scriptwriters, set designers and composers shared offices, has been ‘reborn’ into strata space designed to retain its creative vibe and foster collaboration among occupants.
Sydney developer The Hayson Group has undertaken a $3-million ‘rebirth’, retaining the classic Art Deco façade and features, and returning the three-storey building to its former glory. The result is 30 studio suites ranging from a compact 11 square metres to 77 square metres, and averaging around 35 square metres.
The practical offices, which start from as little as $126,000, are targeted at creatively-minded owner-occupiers or astute investors looking to take advantage of this unique opportunity.

Working out of your own Minton House work studio, or investing in one, makes sense from the perspective of changing demographic and work trends. The face of Kings Cross and the surrounding area continues to change as an increasing number of professional people choose
to live and work in the area.
This means Minton House offers the freedom of being able to walk to work or at least get there easily; the invigoration of a vibrant setting; and the opportunity to interact with like-minded people.
Considered from a pure investment angle, a work studio in Minton House stacks up. Kings Cross is at the centre of a very large catchment area in terms of tenants.The supply of quality work studio space is limited - rental vacancies are low and rental returns are high.
As the area continues to transform, the commercial appeal will grow, along with the benefits of getting in early. Sophisticated investors have already recognised this, as is evident by the increasing amount of institutional investment in property
in the area.
