Modern high-floor unit | three toilets | on-site retail & cinema | leased until 2026
This unit presents a competitively strong proposition due to its rare three-toilet configuration and premium as-new finishes within a full-amenity building. The inclusion of a separate powder room and dual ensuites is atypical for a two-bedroom apartment, elevating its appeal for sharers or small families and supporting a rental premium. Its current secure tenancy until mid-2026 provides immediate income certainty, making it particularly suitable for an investor seeking a hands-off, high-quality holding, or an owner-occupier planning a future move.
The primary decision hinges on the premium priced for the building’s amenities and finish against the inherent risks of a high-density, strata-title property. Body corporate fees and potential for special levies are a fixed cost of accessing the concierge-style services. The commercial logic is clear: secure the tenancy and the superior specification, but only at a price that acknowledges the suburb’s broader apartment market. Proceed if the purchase price aligns with the upper quartile of two-bedroom sales, positioning it as a long-term hold to mitigate strata cost impacts.
Recent comparable sales nearby indicate a G7/388 Queensberry Street, North Melbourne (2 bed, 2 bath, 1 car) is under contract with no price disclosed. General suburb data shows two-bedroom apartments selling in a $550,000 to $700,000 range. This suggests the subject property’s $600,000-$650,000 guide is positioned at the lower to middle of the current market spectrum for a premium product, providing a credible entry point for a well-appointed unit.

Market Insight:
North Melbourne’s prime inner-city positioning ensures strong demand from young professionals and students, drawn by its proximity to employment hubs and established transport links. This demographic is fuelling a robust rental market with tight vacancy, supporting attractive yields, particularly for units which are experiencing solid growth. While house prices have faced recent headwinds, the suburb’s ongoing gentrification and constrained listings underpin its long-term appeal. Key risks include increasing new supply which may temper price growth and persistent affordability pressures in the higher-priced housing segment.
