358/303-321 Castlereagh Street, Haymarket NSW 2000

| 133sqm inner-city apartment | dual-aspect likely | low owner turnover | strong rental yield potential | This property offers a rare size advantage in the Haymarket market. At 133sqm, it is significantly larger than most two-bedroom units in the building, where comparable sales cluster around standard floorplans. The combination of two bathrooms and a car space in a building with a high proportion of long-term owners (66% holding over a decade) suggests a well-managed strata and stable occupancy profile. It best suits an owner-occupier seeking space and convenience near the CBD, or an investor targeting tenants willing to pay a premium for generous internal area and parking. The primary risk is pricing above the building’s recent comparable sales, where similar two-bedroom units with parking transacted between $950,000 and $990,000. Paying at the upper end of the $1,000,000–$1,050,000 range would require accepting a yield closer to 5.5% based on achievable rent of $1,100–$1,150 per week, which is below the building’s average gross yield of 5.9%. The opportunity lies in negotiating toward the lower end of the range, where the larger floor area becomes a genuine differentiator rather than a premium. Hold this property as a core inner-city residence or a long-term rental; its size and location underpin stable demand, but capital growth will track the building’s modest historical trajectory rather than outperform.
