Fully fitted designer retail shop in central Darlinghurst. Includes liquor licence (optional) and premium furniture. Save time and costs—take over lease and start immediately. Flexible use: retail, deli, wine, gallery or concept store.
Potential
This is a rare chance to walk into a fully fitted designer space in Darlinghurst without spending $200K+ on setup. Ideal for anyone wanting to launch a boutique retail store, wine shop, deli, or gallery. Liquor licence available (optional), and everything is ready for use — just add stock and branding. With the right vision, this space can become a local landmark. Perfect for first-time entrepreneurs or experienced operators seeking a second location.
Skills
No specific skills are required to take over. This opportunity suits creatives, retailers, or hospitality operators who want a head start without the usual setup stress. The space is already licensed and beautifully fitted. Some retail, food or wine industry background may be helpful depending on your concept, but the real value is in walking into a premium, turnkey shop for a fraction of the cost it would take to build from scratch.
Hours
Currently closed — new owner can choose their own trading hours based on business model and local demand.
Lease
Lease transfer required. Landlord open to assigning existing lease or creating new terms. $1,198/week (GST included).
Employees
No employees currently included. However, a qualified wine professional who previously worked in the space may be available to support wine sales, tastings, or setup if needed. Ideal for a smooth launch or early brand support.
Reason for Sale
We’re shifting our focus to other projects and no longer operating physical retail locations. This creates a rare opportunity for someone to take over a fully fitted designer space in Darlinghurst — ideal for launching a new retail concept, wine shop, deli, or boutique experience.
About the Business
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a fully fitted, designer retail shop in the heart of Darlinghurst without the time, money, or stress of starting from scratch. The shop is beautifully built with over $200,000 invested in a custom fit-out using premium materials and a clean, modern aesthetic. The location is ideal for a wide range of uses including boutique wine retail, gourmet deli, gallery, concept store, or curated product experience.
The offer includes the full fit-out (fixtures, furniture, lighting, custom shelving, counter, and more) and an optional liquor licence. The space is vacant and ready for immediate use. Simply take over the lease and bring your own brand to life.
This is not a business sale. There is no stock or staff included. What you’re acquiring is the space, the expensive build, and the ability to start your own business in a high-traffic, premium location — saving you many months and potentially $200,000+ in setup.
The previous team operated a premium wine business here and the site has excellent visibility. The liquor licence can be transferred or removed depending on your intended use. A wine professional who previously worked at the site may be available if you need help setting up or offering product support.
It’s a perfect opportunity for someone who wants:
- A premium space in Sydney’s inner east
- To avoid council delays, DA approvals, and setup headaches
- A clean space to launch a new brand or concept
- Optional alcohol licence already processed
- A vacant space you can step into and activate immediately
Serious enquiries only.
History
The space was previously home to a premium wine shop known for its refined layout and boutique customer experience. The fit-out was professionally designed with high-end materials, custom shelving, and elegant lighting. Operations ceased in 2025 as the owners shifted focus to other business projects. The shop is now vacant and fully ready for a new owner to take over and launch their own concept with minimal setup required.
