Industry sources say it could sell for up to $10 million.

In 2018 the RSL sub-branch told The Courier-Mail that the redevelopment and possible sale of the site was the “only way forward”.

At the time they were looking at their options including a joint venture with developers that was “hand and glove with the sub-branch idea”.

Ray White Commercial’s Tom Barr, who is running the expressions of interest campaign with Ray White Special Projects’ Matthew Fritzsche, said any sale could include a short-term lease back to the sub-branch and the incorporation of the organisation within the development scheme.

“They’re seeking to realise what is an enormously under-utilised property for that area,” he said.

“It’s a tired building with an old fit-out which isn’t suitable for the club which wants to look to the future.”

“Potential development opportunities include residential apartments, build-to-rent, student accommodation, vertical retirement living/aged care, medical, commercial and retail.

The property is at the centre of Coorparoo’s major lifestyle and amenity precinct, incorporating Aldi, Woolworths, Coles, Dendy Cinemas, bowls club, medical and a multitude of cafes and restaurants
