Zodiac Lodge – Prime Inner-City Student Accommodation Investment with Historic Victorian Appeal

Zodiac Lodge presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial inner-city property ideally suited to student accommodation, short-term stays, or boutique hospitality. This landmark Victorian building spans three levels and offers a flexible, income-generating layout comprising 19 bedrooms (five with private balcony access), six bathrooms plus ensuite, two generous communal living areas, a large commercial-grade kitchen with adjoining dining space, and self-contained on-site manager’s quarters. The configuration is well suited to shared student living, providing a balance of privacy and communal amenity. A well-established ground-floor café, Delisia, further enhances the lifestyle offering while generating an additional income stream. The property is currently registered as a 19-room boarding house, providing an established framework for continued accommodation use (STCA).

Prominently positioned on a corner block with rear lane access in the heart of Forest Lodge, Zodiac Lodge is exceptionally well located to capitalise on strong and ongoing demand from local and international students. The property is within close proximity to Sydney University, RPA Hospital, Broadway Shopping Centre, Central Station, the CBD, Darling Harbour, and major transport links. This strategic Inner West location underpins consistent rental demand, long-term capital growth, and strong investment fundamentals. Zodiac Lodge represents a compelling freehold opportunity for investors, developers, and operators seeking a high-quality asset in one of Sydney’s most tightly held precincts.

• Prime Inner West location with strong student accommodation demand
• Landmark three-level Victorian building with historic character
• 19 bedrooms, five with balcony access
