MSC's new office provides a boost for Fremantle cafes

MSC's new office provides a boost for Fremantle cafes
Walking around the historic old town of Fremantle in Western Australia there is one rather strikingly different new building - MSC’s recently opened AUD14.5m ($10.8m) new office.

The sleek modern steel and glass building (pictured) is in fact the annex to the neighbouring restored 114-year old Wilhelmsen House which forms the other part of MSC’s new office in Fremantle.

The new offices, which opened in September, are designed to house 160 staff, with MSC being the largest user of the nearby Port of Fremantle.

According to the local press the new the MSC office has also provided a boost for nearby cafes with the Piccolo Café reporting a AUD1,000 jump in takings. This perhaps should not be a surprise in the coffee loving port city where the main street is dubbed the "Cappuccino Strip".
