Broadway Chapel 1884 – A Once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire an 1884 church in Brisbane’s inner-city Olympic precinct. The Broadway Chapel is a figure of architectural beauty that has changed hands only three times in 138 years.

Lovingly maintained and renovated, the chapel offers exceptional versatility for residential and commercial use. The ideal investment for your superannuation, the building has held approximately 2400 weddings in the past 18 years.

For those looking to create a residential hideaway, or a space to live and work from home, the church presents easy living and the ability to move straight in while you plan your transformation.

Offering commercial appeal, you can create a stunning workspace for your business and an inner-city hub for commuters seeking a base during the working week.

Opened in 1884 as the Broadway Congregational Church, this chapel is one of Australia’s oldest originally intact church buildings still in operation today. Built as a non-denominational place of worship, then converted to Spanish Baptist in the 1970s, the current owners re-opened the chapel in 2004 to celebrate its 120th anniversary.

Just 850m from The Gabba and in close proximity to upcoming 2032 Olympic sites, this inner-city destination will see visitors travel from across the globe and presents spectacular potential for future growth.
