The former headquarters of the Australian Red Cross is located along Clarence Street. It was originally built in 1939 in the art deco style as a warehouse and showroom for wholesalers, S Hoffnung and Co. It was restored and redeveloped as a heritage A-Grade office building in 2014. The buildings on either side have been redeveloped since then with brick facades matching the streetscape and taller towers rising above them.
