    Leading Australasian property group, Raine & Horne, has acquired Level 11 and 12 of one of Sydney’s most iconic buildings – the art deco 65 York Street in the biggest strata deal of 2025.

    Formerly James Hardie House, 65 York Street is renowned as the first Art Deco office tower in Australia. Raine and Horne will have exclusive access to a 300 sqm north-facing balcony – the largest rooftop balcony in the Sydney CBD.

    Levels 11 and 12 will be refurbished to augment Raine & Horne’s Align & Accelerate strategy, designed to accelerate the success of every Raine & Horne office and provide a leading environment for employees and clients.

    On completion, the refurbishment will feature:

    • Multiple training rooms
    • Conference rooms
    • Quiet rooms
    • A recording studio for podcasts and videos
    • A gym
    • Unique entertainment spaces with access to the exclusive rooftop.

    Angus Raine, Executive Chairman of Raine & Horne, said, “The acquisition is an exciting step forward for the Raine & Horne Group.

    “The grandeur of the building reflects our scale and ambitions. The breadth and quality of facilities and amenities reflect our commitment to our clients and our network.

    “And the location – just 300 metres from where Raine & Horne first established offices in the Sydney CBD 143 years ago – is a reminder of the exceptional legacy of Raine & Horne as a modern-day super brand.

    “On completion of refurbishments, Raine & Horne will have a Corporate Office like no other – with greater capacity to attract, engage, train and retain the best people, the technological resources to share Raine & Horne insights and expertise across all mediums, and the facilities that demonstrate how much we value our people and our clients,” said Mr Raine.
