10,000 SQM COMMITTED IN ROCKET HIGHLIGHTS CBDROBINA SUCCESS

 CBDRobina’s position as the city’s eminent business district has been further bolstered this week with The Rocket reaching an all important milestone of more than 10,000sqm of office space now committed.

RPA General Manager Hylton Slater said the tenanting of more than 10,000 square metres of office space in a single development in the current macro-economic climate was an extremely positive outcome and an extraordinary vote of confidence in CBDRobina and its all important value drivers.

“This result is demonstrative of the premium attributes provided by The Rocket and the strong appeal of CBDRobina,” he said.

“In parity with robust capital city occupancy rates, CBDRobina’s office vacancy rate is now under 7 per cent which shows the growing popularity of the business centre and all it has to offer.”

Innovative music software developer Guvera recently took 369sqm within the 16-level tower joining national tenants and professional services businesses including Trilby Misso, WMS Chartered Accountants, GHD Global and THG.

Mr Slater said the quality of corporate tenants drawn to The Rocket was cementing CBDRobina as the most desirable corporate address for industry leaders and knowledge based ‘new’ businesses.

“The tenants attracted to The Rocket and across CBDRobina reflect a paradigm shift by national and new business brands which have chosen to be based in the contemporary and convenient business centre,” he said.

"Modern facilities with strong surrounding infrastructure, ease of access and multiple transport options create productive working environments and forward thinking businesses are drawn to these areas

“CBDRobina, and in particular The Rocket, is rapidly fulfilling its goal of becoming the Gold Coast’s blue chip corporate headquarters despite the city’s difficult economic climate.”

Completed by developer Robina Projects Australia, The Rocket offers 11,181sqm of A-grade office space with only seven office spaces remaining for lease.

Mr Slater said the range of professional services based at The Rocket was reflective of the wider CBD Robina precinct which continued to evolve as the Gold Coast’s key retail, corporate and health destination.

“The Rocket combines impressive quality with a strategic location, outstanding access and proximity to a host of important infrastructure, including the super regional shopping centre, Robina Town Centre, rail and road transport,’’ he said.

“These factors along with The Rocket’s A-grade quality have all contributed to our achieving the 10,000 square metre milestone, which is no mean feat in the present market.”

The Rocket has a 4-star Green Star design rating and a 5-star Green Star Energy Improvement rating with features including a street-level retail and dining precinct, basement parking, four high-speed elevators, shower and locker facilities, and bike racks.  

It sits at the junction of Laver Drive and Robina Town Centre Drive, close to the Robina Train Station, Robina Hospital and Skilled Park Stadium and just 300m from the recently expanded Robina Town Centre.

Remaining spaces in The Rocket are available from 120sqm and are marketed by Marcus Weld, of Robina Marketing Australia.
