Flinders Street Wharves (FSW) is creating Townsville’s premier waterfront entertainment precinct. The project will convert the iconic Burns Philp building, which fronts Flinders Street, Wickham Street and Ross Creek, into a multi-venue entertainment hub for bars, restaurants, clubs and function & event tenancies. Exclusively for lease by JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group, FSW presents a rare and exciting opportunity for potential head-lessees to participate in a nationally significant food & beverage development.

Flinders Street Wharves is located in the heart of the established Flinders Street ‘East End’ entertainment area and in close proximity to the CBD, the Strand, Palmer Street and Queensland Country Bank Stadium. The development comprises up to seven venues – including a rooftop bar and over-water tenancy - with Gross Lettable Area of 2,616 sqm*. FSW will benefit from substantial private and public investment in the immediate vicinity, notably including the Townsville City Council waterfront boardwalk that recently commenced construction.

Christian Tsalikis of the JLL Hotels team said “A huge contributor to the future success of the Flinders Street Wharves is the development of the East End Boardwalk, which will traverse the site and be a magnet for locals and visitors alike”

This project is part of multiple stages of boardwalks proposed in the area that will not only link the Flinders Street and Palmer Street dining and entertainment precincts, but also provide improved connection between the Queensland Country Bank Stadium Precinct and The Strand.

“Integrated entertainment precincts such as Brisbane's Howard Smith Wharves and The Wharf at Mooloolaba are enjoying massive commercial success, with customers not only supporting but craving new, innovative and diverse precincts and venues” says Tom Gleeson, Senior Vice President of JLL Hotels.

Townsville is currently enjoying a period of economic prosperity, driven by strong southern migration and investment in the key sectors of health, defense, and education. Townsville employment rates outperform the rest of the state, and population growth projected to exceed 300,000 per 2036.

“With a very diverse economy, Townsville benefits from the stability of its core industries of Defense, Government, and primary industries while enjoying the substantial regional tourism opportunities” explains Mark Walsh of the project team.

Flinders Street Wharves is subject to a current development application. This unique opportunity to create Townsville's signature entertainment precinct is something that should not be missed.

Flinders Street Wharves is being offered for lease via an Expression of Interest process by JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group’s Christian Tsalikis, Tom Gleeson & Mark Walsh. The Expression of Interest close date is set for Thursday, 22nd September 2022 at 4:00pm.
