Unleash the Potential of Preston's Iconic Rivoli Theatre. Built originally in 1936, this architectural treasure is one of Preston's most storied landmarks, rich in history and alive with possibility. Embrace a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a rare fusion of heritage, scale and transformative potential.

This grand old dame offers a substantial footprint in the heart of Preston's thriving cultural precinct, just steps from the vibrant energy of Miller Village, renowned for boutique shopping, trendy cafes, gelato bars and direct tram access to the city. This site is also zoned for Bell Primary and Coburg High Schools.
