High buyer competition | rising vacancy risk | low owner-occupier mix | sold a decade ago This property sits in a tower where only half the units are owner-occupied, which typically softens capital growth and makes resale timing harder. The near-80% renter demographic in the local area further amplifies that risk, so buyers should expect steady rental income but modest long-term price appreciation. For an owner-occupier, this is a hold for lifestyle rather than a high-growth investment. The corner position on level 60 with city views and luxury fit-out is genuinely rare in this complex, which gives this unit a competitive edge over most other two-bedroom listings in the building. Combined with full furnishing and Central Station proximity, it suits a professional buyer who values convenience and is willing to trade some capital growth for immediate livability. Your next step is to request the owners corporation certificate and check the sinking fund balance, as high-rise assets with large common facilities carry levy risk that can erode your net return.
