Who else uses this address
29 other brokers in this set publish an address on Collins Street. When that many financial firms name one building, it is usually a registered-office or mail-forwarding service, and an address of that kind tells you where the post arrives rather than where anyone works.
Across the 29 other visits to that address, the team confirmed an office once, found nothing 6 times and could not get access 22 times. Among them are BGP, capital.com and DDM.
This visit ended differently from most of the others, which is worth weighing against the pattern at the address.
