On average, most compact apartments over only one floor (ie in the Victoria and Milne) range from $2600-$3100 per annum. The larger two storey units, or Philippe Starck units in the Wharton and Cohen can range from $4000-5500 per annum. Recently the fees have come down and the body corporate Teys http://www.teys.com.au appears to have a healthy surplus for emergencies. Facilities: The development has a great sense of community which is encouraged by the facilities of pool (outdoor heated with glamorous glass bottom elements) and new swanky gym house. There are also on-site maintenance team head by Geoff Flint and his assistant Adam. Geoff is contactable on 0413 368 634. There is an added focus on security at Tribeca, with guards patrolling with regularity and security cameras installed. There is also a thriving retail element at Tribeca, which provides great convenience and is appeals to many of the owners and tenants in the block. The Grocery Bar is a pumping restaurant which does casual or more complete meals with great service. There is an IGA supermarket and liquor store on site, which stocks most necessities. There is also Brunelli’s Café, Kiwi Gourmet Fish and Chip shop, Kellee Flowers and Tribeca Serviced Apartments www.tribecaservicedapartments.com.au, plus a dentist. There is also a Kings Parking onsite which services the local hospitals and visitors. Demographics: Since original settlement, we have seen the slow but steady shift of higher occupancy rates by owners. Most purchasers at Tribeca are young professionals who work locally in the CBD. There are a few more mature owners or families from the country who utilise their apartment as a ‘lock up and leave’ second home. There are investors also who lease privately or through serviced apartment arrangements. Year of Build: 2004 Developer: Red C Corporation Website: http://www.rcorporation.com.au/index.asp Number of Apartments in Block: Approximately 440 Construction Nearby Underway: 150 Clarendon Street (luxury high-end apartments in the former Mercy Hospital site), 1 East Melbourne (high end apartments in old train yard site next to Wellington Gardens on Wellington Parade South). Forecast for the 09-10 Financial Year: We invisage that continuing first home owner interest and buying power will keep the market buoyant in East Melbourne for the remainder of 2009. Dependant on bank interest rates, we could experience a flattening of the market in 2010 in the plus $500,000 sector. Mum and Dad investors could well make a comeback in 2010 once first home owners lose their puff and buying power. Tribeca offers a unique buying opportunity in an expensive blue chip neighbourhood which should cushion it from too many market fluctuations.
