Road closures ahead for station to town link
Motorists have been warned about overnight closures of a main route through a town centre. Resurfacing work will take place between 19:00 and 06:00 BST between 16 June to 4 July on Elizabeth Street in Corby, Northamptonshire, North Northamptonshire Council said. It is part of a project designed to provide a safe and attractive route between the town centre and the railway station. Bus stops along Elizabeth Road will be temporarily suspended and a taxi rank will stop operating during the closures. The previous Conservative government provided the money for the new link which will cover Elizabeth Street, Oakley Road and Station Road. It was part of a £19.9m package of funding. An underpass on Oakley Road will be removed as part of the project. North Northamptonshire Council said it hoped the new route would mean "more people will be encouraged to travel on foot and cycle between the town centre and station, which not only improves people's health and well-being levels but has a positive impact on the environment". A full diversion will be in place during the closures, and residents will also be able to use George Street between 18:00 and 08:00 BST. Access for residents and businesses "will be maintained wherever possible" although "vehicle access may be restricted during the overnight closures", the council said.

Glory Orient seeks $100m for Elizabeth Street gem
An Asian investment group is looking to sell an office block in Sydney's Elizabeth Street with hopes of near-$100m as the city's market swings back into favour. Office players are on the hunt for counter-cyclical plays and some are also chasing longer-term development opportunities. Sydney property circles are abuzz with talk that Lendlease is rekindling its interest in Shimao's 175 Liverpool Street, and Charter Hall is chasing a capital partner for 201 Elizabeth Street, where it is chasing a capital partner. The Elizabeth Street block, owned by Glory Orient Investments, has been held as an office investment since it was bought for $67m in 2014, and could be held as an office building ahead of any longer-term conversion play. The private Asian group wants to sell its long-held B-grade asset on the prominent corner at 75 Elizabeth Street. It has dual frontages to Elizabeth and King streets, and views that make it attractive to residential and hotel players. The building is also positioned in the heart of the financial core, allowing for a potential office play for investors chasing value-add investments. The property is surrounded by the city's major office towers, Westfield Sydney, and the Pitt Street Mall. The boutique B-Grade office building comprises 6141sq m of net lettable area across 15 storeys, with views over Hyde Park. It has access to the Supreme Court of NSW and the luxury King Street retail precinct, which houses flagship stores such as Tiffany & Co., Cartier, Chanel, Hermès, Dior, and Valentino. Real estate agency Savills is handling the building. 'The price point, corner position, location, intergenerational characteristics and value-add opportunities will be well received by the market, as investors recognise the scarcity of the offering,' sales agent Savills' Ben Azar said. Co-agent, Savills' Adrian Bokolis, said offshore private and institutional capital saw relative value in the Sydney office market when compared to alternate markets across Asia, Europe and the US.
