The agents said the deal is the priciest for a Marrickville property this calendar year (story continues below).

Several suitors from the building supplies sector looked in, they added.

“The Rich St transaction highlights the continuing strong demand for industrial property within the Inner West region,” according to Luke Smith.

“Marrickville has become the place to be, undergoing significant revitalisation,” he said.

“Known for its trendy amenities and excellent accessibility, the suburb has become a sought-after location for businesses,” he added.

This pocket of the suburb, walking distance to Sydenham train station, is seven kilometres from town.

In the area, Toga recently completed Wicks Place, a residential based mixed-use project with 270 dwellings.
