Building Comment:

 

The Regency Towers remains a popular choice, with many buyers following the building closely for the right apartment to come on the market. It has a strong sense of community that is often commented upon, especially with the trend towards a more insular lifestyle. The overall units sizes are larger than more recent developments

James Says Do Not Miss…….

My favorite aspect is the rooftop facilities. With many building the pool or gym are squirreled away in the basement or low floors and feel uninviting and often go unused.

I appreciate the central location of the Regency Towers situated in such a well established part of the city with quick and easy access to all of Melbourne’s interesting laneways, fantastic shopping, the theatres, sports and well…. everything!

What our Landlords say…….

“Harcourts City Residential were terrific. I had a vacant Melbourne City apartment in a prime location for three months with my previous Melbourne city agent. I then spoke to Dionne Wilson from Harcourts City Residential. As soon as speaking to Dionne, I knew her professionalism and helpfulness would ensure my apartment would be tenanted very soon. Not only did Dionne find me tenants within 10 days, Dionne was able to market my apartment at the market price (which was my asking price) and not a much lower price that my previous agent had my apartment advertised at .Thank you Dionne and Harcourts City Residential my stress is finally over.”.

Antonio – Landlord
