408/39 London Circuit, City ACT 2601

The Capitol 2020 build | 68m² one-bedder with parking | 6-star EER | CBD walkability The buying case turns on a rare combination in the central city: new construction, a dedicated parking space, and a 6.0-star energy rating. For an owner-occupier, this means lower recurring utility costs and reduced reliance on public transport or paid parking—real financial advantages over older or un-parked equivalents. The 2020 completion removes immediate maintenance risk, and the walkable positioning near the ANU, government precincts, and shopping ensures strong tenant demand for an investor or low-hassle living for a professional. The principal risk is the potential for capital appreciation to soften if additional one-bedroom supply enters the city market, which could compress short-term gains relative to houses. That said, the parking provision and energy efficiency give this property a sharper competitive edge for renters than many comparable apartments, directly supporting rental yield stability. The long-term opportunity rests on Canberra’s persistent workforce growth and the building’s modern specifications, which should maintain its relative market position over a holding period.
