An Iconic Balmain Landmark with a Remarkable History

A rare opportunity to secure one of Balmain's most distinctive and historically significant commercial properties.

Occupying a prominent corner position at Mort and Trouton Streets, 101 Mort Street is the former Forth & Clyde Hotel, a beautifully preserved two-storey sandstone building dating back to 1857. Once a much-loved waterfront pub serving Balmain's working harbour community, the property forms an important part of the area's rich shipbuilding and industrial heritage.

Adding to its remarkable story, the building featured in the 1974 Australian cult motorcycle film Stone, further cementing its place in Balmain's cultural history.

Today, this impressive heritage property presents approximately 300sqm of versatile commercial accommodation across two levels, offering an exceptional combination of character, functionality and flexibility. The existing configuration includes generous open-plan areas, multiple private rooms, a boardroom, reception/foyer, kitchen with walk-in pantry, extensive amenities and valuable storage.

The first floor provides a series of individual rooms and offices, while the ground floor offers substantial open-plan space, creating flexibility for a wide range of commercial, professional, educational, medical or other approved uses.

A significant additional advantage is the property's dedicated parking, with the floorplan showing a substantial 7.4m x 10m carspace, while its corner position provides excellent exposure and presence.
