913/45 Wellington Road, East Brisbane QLD 4169

Top-floor rarity | side-by-side double parking | 74sqm including 14sqm balcony | walkable to Gabba and future Cross River Rail. This unit’s competitive edge lies in its top-floor position and two secure side-by-side car spaces—uncommon for a one-bedroom, which strengthens appeal for owner-occupiers or tenants with a vehicle. The 74sqm total area, with a separate laundry and generous balcony, offers genuine livability above typical apartment stock. It suits a professional or investor seeking inner-city convenience with building amenities like rooftop pool and onsite management, in a precinct with long-term growth tied to the 2032 Olympics and Cross River Rail. The main risk is the body corporate levy at $871 per quarter, which eats into net yield—currently estimated at 3.5% based on $645 weekly rent. The price per square metre at $10,676 sits at the higher end for the building, so buyers should negotiate firmly given recent comparable sales between $615,000 and $770,000. No flood or bushfire overlay reduces insurance risk. Hold for capital growth as infrastructure completes, or rent immediately given vacancy and strong local demand.
