Building Comment:

The past 12 months have been positive for 270 King Street with prices up and owners enjoying steady growth. The previous financial year yielded the highest sale on record for the building thus giving the total and maximum sales figures a strong skew, yet in light of this the building boasts a healthy increase in prices.

Despite the uncertainty of the global financial crisis in the past year, 270 King has seen an increase in average apartment sale prices of over $23,000.

We envisage that this financial year will see continuing interest from investors and from the rental results below you can see the excellent investment opportunity that 270 King St offers in a strongly sought after neighbourhood. This in turn should cushion it from too many market fluctuations.

Dionne Says Do Not Miss…….

I love the central location of 270 King Street, it’s in the most up and coming part of the city with quick and easy access to transport, fantastic shopping, the docklands, Crown entertainment complex and some of Melbournes best nightlife.

If you are a coffee lover then you will no doubt be captivated by the intoxicating aroma that emanates from a friendly nearby neighbour, The Dancing Goat Café.  Located at 280 King Street, this intriguingly named quaint little coffee house is home to the 2009 Victorian Barista of the Year, Jesse Hyde.  With a delicious menu, warm surroundings and an award winning owner the Dancing Goat Café is a surefooted winner.

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.”.
