1716/199 William Street, Melbourne VIC 3000

17th floor two-bedder | The William, CBD fringe | strong rental yield | rooftop pool skyline This apartment occupies a rare position in a well-regarded building where configuration and floor level combine to offer genuine livability and yield advantage. The open-plan layout with balcony and natural light is not standard for this price band, and the building’s amenities—rooftop pool, gym, library—support both owner-occupier appeal and tenant retention. For a buyer seeking stable inner-city rental income with decent capital preservation, this unit competes well against newer stock that often sacrifices space for finish. The 7–9% yield range in the building confirms demand for two-bedroom layouts. The primary risk is the building’s age and the 2013 last sale price, which suggests modest long-term capital growth for some owners. However, current rental demand is strong, and the absence of heritage or flood overlays reduces holding surprises. The opportunity lies in buying below replacement cost for a well-located, well-serviced apartment in a building with proven rental performance—suitable for an investor who prioritises cash flow over speculative appreciation
