Owners Corporation Fees: The fees differ between apartments. On average the fees range between $2800 – $12,000 per annum approximately depending on the size of the apartment and its location (known as lot liability). 

Owners Corporation Management: is Stewart, Silver, King and Burns (SSKB) Att: Andrew Yates 

“Stewart Silver King and Burns (SSKB) is a body corporate and community management company. We act as a body corporate administrator, however, we are not the body corporate. Since 1995, SSKB has set itself the goal of being the market leader in the body corporate and community management sector. To achieve this reputation we have worked hard to raise the professionalism and standards of not just our own company, but of the whole industry. At SSKB, we are partnering with lot owners to make a positive contribution to community living. We are helping committees administer their community for the benefit of all lot owners and residents. Our role as Community Managers is to use our experience to guide a committee to make decisions that promote harmony, and maximise the value of your assets. SSKB are proud that our bodies corporate are the most liveable communities in the world.

Building Management: The live in building managers Keith & Kay Jeffrey are kept busy with the general day to day activities of the building. 

Facilities: The developments residents are truly spoilt with complimentary membership to the YMCA pool & gym within the building. Given that it is a commercially operational facility the equipment is of the highest quality and hence represents one of the most impressive set of facilities of all the buildings we are involved with. 

                         

Demographics: Given the relative youth of the building there is still a high percentage of original owners. There is a great mixture of owners in the complex including young professionals, a mix of local and out of town investors as well as several people using it as a second residence “a lock and leave” for people from out of Melbourne. A newer trend rising throughout the building is investors who are furnishing the apartments and leasing them fully furnished to increase rental returns.   

Forecast for the 09-10 Financial Year: We envisage that continuing first home owner interest and low interest rates will keep the market buoyant in Docklands for the remainder of 2009 and especially pre October 1 when the First Home Owners Grant starts to decrease. Dependant on bank interest rates, we could experience a stabilising of the market in 2010 in the pre $600,000 sector. Mum and Dad investors could well make a comeback in 2010 once first home owners lose large incentives and as interest rate nerves kick in.
