Building Comment:

The past 12 months have been extremely positive for 120 Sturt st with prices up across the board and owners enjoying significant growth. The upcoming development of the arts precinct area can only highlight how well positioned this building is combined with the fact that is only one of few low rise buildings in Southbank makes it extremely appealing to the astute purchaser.

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.”.
