Ex-brothel site secured
A FORMER Gold Coast brothel site at Burleigh Heads which previously traded as Secret Liaisons and The Black Orchid has been sold to a surfboard products company for $950,000 through Ray White Broadbeach.
The vacant 280sq m building on a 2031sq m block at 12 Greg Chappell Dr, Burleigh Heads, was sold to local company Southcoast Foam and Fibreglass by Adam Grbcic and Tony Grbcic of Ray White Broadbeach.
“The sale represents a price of $467 per sqm, which I believe is the highest price achieved in the Burleigh Gardens Industrial Estate,” Adam said.“The buyer purchased the property to expand their business and its easy access to the M1 Motorway, hardstand condition and neutral position within the estate were all highly appealing to them.”
The property has been vacant since Secret Liaisons, which had leased the building, ceased trading late last year just a few months after the property was sold by Adam and Tony, who have sold the building three times since 2014.
“The property has been operating as a brothel for more than 15 years and has changed hands twice in recent years,” Tony said.
“Despite being fully fitted with all fixtures and chattels, including pink fluffy dressing gowns and an array of moisturisers, we found 90% of the inquiry was for alternative uses.
“Most of those interested were business owners within the local area who were looking to expand and could see the redevelopment potential. The building will now be knocked to the ground.”
