1306/25 Connor Street, Fortitude Valley QLD 4006

Two-bed, two-bath, secure car | 19th-floor northern aspect, city views | James Street fringe lifestyle | Investor and owner-occupier demand | Body corporate around $1,460 per quarter This apartment sits in a well-regarded 2013 building with the sort of amenity package that separates it from older inner-city stock: pool, gym, BBQ area, lift, intercom and secure parking. The 19th-floor position with a northern outlook toward the city skyline and the Gateway Bridge is genuinely uncommon in this precinct, and the orientation gives natural light without the afternoon heat that western-facing units cop. It serves two buyer types best — professionals who want a low-maintenance base close to James Street, New Farm and the CBD, and investors who value the rental depth and modern presentation. The built-in wardrobes, stone benchtops, European appliances and air-conditioning are consistent with a property that has held its place in the market. Value may be shaped by a few practical realities. Body corporate fees of about $1,460 per quarter are not trivial and must be weighed against the building’s amenity and lift maintenance. The existing lease to January 2027 at $730 per week provides reliable income but limits an owner-occupier’s ability to move in immediately. The precinct’s nightlife and traffic noise might affect light sleepers, and flood overlay signals in the broader area, while not specific to this unit, could be a financing or insurance consideration. Price formation is likely to hinge more on floor level and view than on the internal layout, which is similar across the building. >> Comparable Sales: 1509/25 Connor Street sold at $830k | Property Price Band: $800k–$900k | Value Drivers: floor level, northern aspect, secure parking
