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…

I had the opportunity of viewing Chevron Green when I was down in Melbourne last week. I couldn’t understand the reason why it has taken longer than usual for the project to sell out, considering the fact the project is located along St. Kilda Road and with close proximity to the city and to the famous and highly popular fitzroy street where restaurants and cafes are located.

The project was marketed over the weekend in Singapore by another marketing company. I have gotten the price list directly from the developer and the developer is paying full stamp duties for purchasers.

If anyone wants to have developer’s price, contact me at 98344408 immediately.

Smith Street is one of Melbourne’s oldest shopping strips. It is located at the boundary between the suburb of Fitzroy and Collingwood. The street is filled with cafes, restaurants; a lifestyle street welcomed by Generation Y who loves action and wants to be close to the Melbourne CBD. Perpendicular to Smith Street is Johnston Street where nightlife is prevalent with hip pubs spanning almost the whole street.

Smith Street is analogous to Lygon street of Carlton where countless Italian restaurants are located. Collingwood is often touted as the poor cousin of Fitzroy and Carlton because of its older style developments and its ‘industrial’ looks. Its proximity to the CBD prompted numerous residential developments over the year. Gradually, warehouses are being renovated and converted to residential units to meet the growing demand of inner-city suburb living.
