Ms Chen said that what sets this property apart is its "rarity".
"Entire apartment blocks of this size rarely come to market in Paddington," she said. "The fact that this is the first time in over 60 years that 57 Regent Street has been offered to market underscores just how unusual this opportunity is."
The listing states the property is a "rare and iconic corner investment in Paddington" with the site falling under R1: General Residential zoning.

Ms Chen said the strata-titled holding offered potential buyers many attractive opportunities.
"The property offers scope for both redevelopment and renovation, depending on the buyer's vision," she said. "Equally compelling is the potential for thoughtful renovation - modernising interiors, improving amenities, and reconfiguring spaces to enhance value while respecting the building's character.

While she acknowledged that Paddington has heritage considerations, there would be pathways available for buyers keen to those explore redevelopment options.
"In the short-term, the existing tenancies provide income stability, while the long-term opportunity for capital growth makes this a trophy investment or potential intergenerational home," she said.

For those considering a savvy turnkey investment opportunity, the market income when the building is fully leased comes in at approximately $442,000 per annum.
