Historic Old Clare Town Hall – Circa 1866

203 Main North Road, Clare

Steeped in history in the very heart of Clare's vibrant main street, the iconic Old Clare Town Hall presents an extraordinary opportunity to secure one of the region's most significant commercial buildings.

Constructed in 1866, this heritage-listed bluestone landmark has retained the timeless character and architectural grandeur that makes it such a treasured part of Clare's rich history. Behind its impressive façade lies approximately 380 sqm of versatile commercial accommodation, thoughtfully configured to accommodate multiple income-producing tenancies or a single business headquarters.

The building offers exceptional flexibility, featuring two prominent retail or office suites with valuable Main North Road frontage both approximately 50sqm each, a spacious ground-floor hall with adjoining office, kitchenette and amenities, approx 140 sqm and an impressive mezzanine level complete with its own kitchenette, bathroom facilities and private balcony approx 140 sqm. Natural light floods the interior through skylights on the mezzanine, while seven split-system air conditioners ensure year-round comfort throughout every space.
The property is ideally suited to a broad range of commercial uses including professional offices, consulting rooms, serviced office suites, creative studios, galleries, boutique retail, hospitality ventures or mixed-use commercial accommodation.

The building is currently vacant, providing purchasers with the freedom to develop a leasing strategy tailored to maximise future returns.

The Council have requested repair and remedial works to the iconic civic clock tower, with completion of these works required prior to new tenancies being established-offering the incoming owner the opportunity to restore an important piece of Clare's architectural legacy while unlocking the property's full commercial potential.
