An abandoned skate rink in Brisbane’s south-west has been sold to a developer after sitting vacant for more than a decade.

The building was purchased for $2.25 million dollars by DHT Investments and a development application was submitted by the new owner on Tuesday to build 16 separate tenancies at ground level as well as a World Gym.

The graffiti covered skate rink was built in 1959 but has been vacant since 2007.
