Summary: Modern apartment complex at a never to be repeated price
Description: Apartment prices jump in chase for project viability. Selling prices of apartments in Australia's largest cities jumped a record 24 per cent in the December quarter as building costs, labour shortages and a shift towards owner-occupier grade stock pushed the average over $19,000 a square metre, new figures from Urbis show. The leap was the biggest in a decade of data the consultancy has collected. The average price of presales and under-construction projects across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Gold Coast was also up 34 per cent year-on-year and was driven by demand in Brisbane, where off-the-plan prices leaped 33 per cent from the third quarter to $23,000, Urbis said. The 'Crest Apartments' occupy a commanding elevated corner position located opposite the Riverview Marketplace and Riverside Tavern retail/ office complexes. This tenanted investment is in an excellent catchment area close to some of Townsville's biggest employers including James Cook University, Hospital and Lavarack military base.
