RENTAL RESULTS FOR 483 SWANSTON STREET, YEAR 08/09:
*NOTE: Rentals might have occurred throughout the financial YEAR 08/09, but may not have been recorded
Introduction: The $110m “Milano” apartments and mixed use development on the corner of Franklin & Swanston Streets. Milano shares the corner with the $130m “Verve” apartments and mixed use development including the renowned in-built rock climbing gym. Verve is an innovative structure designed by highly skilled Architect practice, Urban Design and was developed by one of Australia’s most successful builders, L.U. Simon. Combined both buildings produce 293 apartments.
Facilities: These include Indoor Pool, Spa, Sauna, Gymnasium, Club Lounge & Cinema, Tennis Court, security entrance and under cover, on title, secure parking. Also an ALDI store next to the entrance of the building.
Developer: F.D.G (First Delta Group) www.fdg.net.au
Demographics: There is a great mixture of owners in the complex including young professionals, out of town investors, some more mature owner occupiers as well as owners utilizing as a secure lock & leave city base. Milano and Verve also houses international owners and students.
Year of Construction: 2004
Construction nearby underway: 19-37 Abeckett St – High residential tower, reaching up to 32 floors. Predicted to be finished in mid 2010. It is going to attract mainly international students, who are coming to study in Melbourne.
Forecast for the 09-10 Financial Year: We envisage that continuing first home owner interest and buying power will keep the market buoyant in Melbourne for the remainder of 2009. Dependant on bank interest rates, we could experience a leveling of the market in 2010 in the pre $500,000 range. Investors could well make a comeback in 2010 once first home owners run out of puff and buying power.
