I went for a tour of the actual site where the development will be built some three weeks ago. Although near the West Gate Freeway, I am pretty sure the apartments will be fitted with double-glazed windows for sound insulation.

Well, for all my blog readers out there, if you need any info or feedback from me, do drop me a note. The Bank apartments is located near 109 Clarenden Street, another high rise development built by the same developer.

Sydney road is one of the most prominent roads in Brunswick, a suburb next to Princess Hill, Fitzroy North and Parkville. It is populated by yuppies who embraced the Australian coffee culture. Sydney road has been designated by its LGA as one of the roads to be converted to a promenade - a pedestrain walking strip with trendy cafes, restaurants and also shopping outlets. It is set to be the ‘chapel street’ of the North.

There’s a limited opportunity to get into a boutique development along union street, beside the RMIT(Brunswick campus). With a 2-minute walk to Jewell train station, and being close to Barkley SC coupled with its proximity to Sydney road, this is as good as you can get being close to ‘action’.

There will be no lack of tenants wanting to rent close to the city. The lure of Italian restaurants along Lygon street is hard to resist; and if you wish, take a tram along Sydney road to the city. It only takes 10 minutes and you will be swarmed by more restaurants at the Crown Casino. Walk along the Yarra river and look back to the city; it is a stunning sight in a class of its own.

Opportunities are limited! It may or may not suit your portfolio requirements. Call me today for a no-obligation consultation…

It was winter in Melbourne when I arrived on the 7th June after a stopover at Darwin. It was not until I step into my business partner’s apartment at 80 Lorimer Street that I realized how beautiful the views over Victoria Harbour can be. It’s stunning, particularly with the sun glazing down over the chilly wind in winter Melbourne, voted as one of the most liveable cities in the world.

Nested in Lorimer St are five towers built by one of Australia’s biggest developer. You could see the standard of the finishing once you walked into the apartment. Nicely laid quality carpets, stone benchtops, exclusive vanities used in all the toilets/bathrooms and not forgetting the huge 42′ LCD TV in the living room for pure entertainment. It’s city living at its best!

It just cannot get any better, being so close to the CBD; in fact just 2 minutes away and close to water.

There is a freeway running parallel to Lorimer St but mate, I could hardly hear anything when the windows are closed. Windows are double-glazed and strict building standards says it all.

To put it simply, I wouldn’t mind going back there in September again…oh..how I missed the excellent weather.
