The Victorian Government has secured the passage of the Building Legislation and Treasury Legislation (Tax Relief) Amendment Bill 2026, introducing a suite of reforms aimed at improving consumer protection and confidence in the apartment market.

Resilience Insurance, Australia’s leading Latent Defects Insurance (LDI) provider, has welcomed the move.

The LDI elements of the Bill passed with bipartisan support and now moves to the Legislative Council where debate and passage are expected later this month. It represents a significant milestone in the national shift toward stronger, longer-term protection for apartment buyers.&nbsp;

The reform would deliver practical benefits across the housing system. Apartment owners will have stronger protection if major defects emerge, developers and builders will have a clearer quality framework to work within, and the State will reduce the risk of serious building failures becoming a long-term financial and social burden for households, communities and government.&nbsp;

LDI helps support apartment delivery while providing stronger protection for buyers and encouraging better construction outcomes.&nbsp;

Resilience LDI provides apartment owners with 10 years of insurance-backed cover for major structural defects from completion, with direct claim access to the insurer. This means owners are not required to first pursue developers or builders through costly legal action before accessing protection.&nbsp;

Resilience Insurance has been operating in Australia since 2022 and has already insured hundreds of development projects covering many thousands of apartments across Australia.&nbsp;

At approximately 1.8 per cent of build cost, it is a cost-competitive alternative to the traditional two per cent Strata Bond, bond while delivering significantly broader and longer protection.&nbsp;

“The Victorian Lower House vote shows that reforms like this succeed when they are practical, evidence-based and supported by industry," says Corey Nugent, CEO of Resilience Insurance.

"Victoria is moving quickly on a reform that will make a real difference for apartment buyers, while supporting better building outcomes and greater confidence in apartment delivery.

“This is step one. We look forward to the Bill completing its passage through the Legislative Council and to working with government and industry to implement the framework effectively.”&nbsp;

Fast Facts: What is Resilience LDI?&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>Resilience Latent Defects Insurance (LDI): Covers major structural defects for 10 years from completion.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Consumer-first: Direct claim access, no need for lengthy legal action.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Cost advantage: At approximately 1.8% of build cost, LDI is typically priced below the traditional 2% Strata Bond while offering broader protection.&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Market leader: Resilience Insurance is the first approved LDI provider in NSW.</li>
</ul>

The Building Legislation and Treasury Legislation (Tax Relief) Amendment Bill 2026 has passed the Victorian Lower House, putting Victoria on track to become the first state to legislate an industry workable LDI framework as a formal alternative to the Strata Building bond.

10-year Latent Defects Insurance for new apartment buyers set to land in Victoria

Just a few months after acquiring a prime Broadbeach site on the corner of First Avenue and Surf Parade, family-run developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/raptis">Raptis</a> has filed fresh plans for a new apartment development.

Raptis is seeking to deliver a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/17-19-first-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4217">29-storey tower with 73 apartments</a> on the 818 sqm site. It will be the developer's seventh project in the suburb, as they are approaching completion of The Sterling on George Avenue.

There will be a pool, barbecue and outdoor dining area, residents lounge and dining, sauna and steam room, gym, and a Yoga and Pilates studio.

<img alt="Raptis" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b554da3f-7344-49aa-b1c9-44cf459af0d7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-05%20at%2010.41.45%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=zzjWu1iO1wnuYv4EV4fyOyf5nSXjGYut" />

Raptis Joint Managing Director, Evan Raptis, says they remain&nbsp;committed to developing quality infill sites across the Gold Coast in the lead-up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

"This project continues our long track record of delivery in Broadbeach, and we look forward to bringing another premium development to this thriving precinct."

The announcement follows strong delivery momentum for Raptis, with The Sterling Broadbeach nearing completion and construction well underway on the final stage of the Waterpoint community adjacent to Harbour Town. The developer's continued investment in the Gold Coast reflects confidence in the region's apartment market fundamentals, underpinned by sustained Southeast Queensland population growth.&nbsp;

The outlook for the region is further bolstered by infrastructure investment tied to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games, which is expected to drive continued economic and population growth across the SEQ corridor.&nbsp;

Subject to a favourable response from Gold Coast City Council, construction on the new First Avenue tower is targeted to commence before the end of 2026.&nbsp;

Brisbane development veteran Kevin Seymour's Seymour Group is set to deepen its presence on one of Brisbane's most tightly held riverfront addresses, lodging revised plans for a luxury apartment development on Oxlade, just a few doors down from The Oxlade, which it completed in 2024.

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/70-72-oxlade-drive-new-farm-qld-4005">new project at 70-72 Oxlade Drive</a>, directly north of The Oxlade, will have 27 apartments across a seven-storey building&nbsp;overlooking the Brisbane River and Merthyr Park. It's a revision from a 2021-approved design.

Designed by bureau^proberts, the project has evolved from the previously approved 26-apartment scheme, introducing an additional penthouse level while maintaining a low-density, boutique character. The development will comprise 26 three-bedroom apartments and a single four-bedroom penthouse, supported by two basement levels with 86 car spaces and 34 bicycle spaces.

The architectural response is centred around two distinct building forms separated by a landscaped open-air atrium.&nbsp;"This dual composition captures and embraces Brisbane’s subtropical environment whilst breaking down built form and scale," the submission to the Brisbane City Council noted.

<img alt="First look: Seymour Group returns to Oxlade Drive with revised riverfront apartment plans in New Farm" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c12d84d0-bc11-4067-b46f-5bd2d786a34d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/new%20farm%20landscape.png?VersionId=YEPc2k5CAdh6aAPlu4uVpgZadh4MEfRd" />

A defining feature of the design is a deep landscaped void running through the centre of the building, creating what bureau^proberts describes as a "natural ravine" that enhances airflow, daylight penetration and resident amenity. The design report notes that the separation of the two building volumes is intended to maximise natural light, cross-ventilation and outlook while strengthening connections to the surrounding riverfront setting.

Curved balcony edges, integrated planting and extensive landscaping throughout the façade reinforce the subtropical design approach. The building's façade is softened by elevated gardens and planter beds, creating a green edge that complements the established landscape character of Oxlade Drive and neighbouring Merthyr Park.

New Farm has become one of Brisbane's most sought-after suburbs for developers delivering premium downsizer-focused apartments.

GRAYA has been particularly active in the precinct, completing both Chalk and York in recent years, while construction of Moray House, being delivered for Spyre, is now nearing completion. Architect-turned-developer Joe Adsett recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/arcilla-new-farm-by-joe-adsett-28-maxwell-street-new-farm-qld-4005">Arcilla on Maxwell Street</a>, an exclusive collection of just nine apartments.

A new residential tower will be the first piece of a broader mixed-use precinct set to reshape a prominent Newcastle West site, with local developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gwh">GWH</a> bringing its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/cambridge-quarter-newcastle-west-12-denison-street-newcastle-west-nsw-2302">Cambridge Quarter</a> vision to market.

The first release, Tempo, will introduce 87 apartments across a 24-storey tower, marking Stage 1 of the residential component of a larger urban regeneration project planned for the western end of Newcastle's city centre, encompassing the former Cambridge Hotel site.

Positioned on Denison Street, Tempo has been designed as the inaugural building within Cambridge Quarter, a precinct that will ultimately combine apartments, retail activation and revitalised public spaces including the revamping of the Cambridge Hotel.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135876 project_image_fid=368853]

The tower will comprise a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, including layouts with multipurpose rooms, catering to a broad cross-section of owner-occupiers. Apartment sizes range from around 60 sqm to 192 sqm, with a number of residences oriented to capture views across Newcastle Harbour, the city skyline and coastline.

GWH has emphasised liveability in the design, with open-plan layouts extending to generous balconies and terraces. Residents will have a choice of two interior palettes, while specifications include engineered stone benchtops, SMEG appliances, full-height bathroom tiling and secure building access. Premium upgrade packages will also be available.

Multiple rooftop resident retreats will provide communal outdoor space overlooking the harbour and city, offering an elevated amenity layer above the activity of the precinct below.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135876 project_image_fid=368851]

The broader Cambridge Quarter vision extends beyond the residential tower itself. Ground-level retail activation and landscaped public areas are planned throughout the precinct, creating a walkable neighbourhood environment connected to the surrounding renewal of Newcastle West. The Cambridge Hotel is also earmarked for future redevelopment into a family-friendly hospitality venue integrated with the new precinct.

The project is strategically positioned within walking distance of Newcastle Interchange, providing access to light rail, regional rail services and direct connections to Sydney. Residents will also be close to Honeysuckle, Newcastle Harbour and the city's beaches and coastal walkways.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135876 project_image_fid=368852]

For GWH, Cambridge Quarter represents one of its most significant Newcastle developments to date. The locally based developer, which has operated in the Hunter region since 1995, describes the project as a new chapter in the ongoing transformation of Newcastle West.

GWH Executive Director Jonathan Craig said the project had been shaped by a focus on creating lasting community connections.

"We take pride in creating places that last. Spaces where people feel connected, comfortable and a genuine sense of belonging," Craig said.

"Cambridge Quarter is something we are truly proud of, a place shaped by local knowledge, built with care and designed to be part of Newcastle's next chapter."

GWH unveils first release at landmark Cambridge Quarter precinct in Newcastle West

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/ss-projects">S&amp;S Projects</a>,&nbsp;Rainbow Bay's busiest developer,&nbsp;has officially lodged plans for the largest development in its booming local portfolio, seeking approval for a further 88 apartments on Boundary Street.

The proposal&nbsp;at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/209-213-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">209–213 Boundary Street, Coolangatta</a>,&nbsp;marks the next chapter in the developer's transformation of the southern Gold Coast beachside precinct. It will be its fifth in the area, having already delivered Flow, Awaken and Esprit, while construction continues on the 38-apartment Radia. The new project would rise 57 metres above a consolidated 1,518 sqm site, on the same street as Radia and Esprit.

&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cottee-parker-architects">Cottee Parker</a>, the proposed development comprises 88 two and three-bedroom apartments across a contemporary podium-and-tower form that integrates extensive landscaping from street level through to the rooftop.

The tower would be delivered above a basement and multi-level podium accommodating resident and visitor parking, with the residential component commencing from level three. The design incorporates cascading planting throughout the façade, landscaped podium edges, and deep planting zones along the Boundary Street frontage.

<img alt="First look: S&amp;S Projects lodges plans for 88-apartment wellness tower at Coolangatta's Boundary Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="677e6615-b5c0-4b6c-b4f9-efb14fcde1a6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/ss%20da%20pers.png?VersionId=YOnPKQm7IFXv0M5H326djEpxk80500Hi" />

A key feature of the development is its expansive rooftop wellness and recreation precinct. Plans reveal a resort-style pool deck, gymnasium, sauna, steam room, hot and cold plunge pools, rooftop terraces, barbecue areas and landscaped relaxation spaces positioned to capture views across the southern Gold Coast coastline.

The rooftop wellness focus builds on the vision S&amp;S Projects first outlined when it acquired the site for $20.25 million last year.

"We are taking every advantage to create a truly unique rooftop wellness experience with a natural feel for residents, offering stone features throughout and an underlying theme that emulates a botanical garden," S&amp;S Projects founder and director Paul Gedoun said at the time.

The proposal seeks a 57-metre building height, representing a 50 per cent uplift on the site's mapped 38-metre height limit. Planning documents argue the additional height is consistent with recently approved and emerging towers in the immediate Boundary Street and Rainbow Bay precinct.

Urbis, acting as planning consultant, said the development would provide "88 dwellings, comprising a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments, contributing to housing choice and supply within an established medium to high-rise coastal urban neighbourhood."

The scheme has undergone extensive pre-lodgement consultation with the City of Gold Coast, with the design refined following feedback relating to architectural expression, landscaping, traffic access and podium treatment.

<img alt="S&amp;S" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0a2d70fd-62ac-4b83-97c6-b798fc1243dd" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-05%20at%209.16.31%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=yHmghUwKM3IVGpBktQU1mE.0Lpf3WimG" />

The architectural team is led by Brisbane-based Cottee Parker, one of Australia's most active residential design studios, with landscape architecture by Dunn + Moran. The consultant team also includes ADG Engineers, Windtech and Acoustic Works.

S&amp;S Projects has become one of the most influential private developers operating on the southern Gold Coast. Since entering Rainbow Bay in 2022, the company has assembled a portfolio exceeding $1 billion in end value, establishing itself as a key player in the area's evolution into a premium apartment destination. Pezet Matheson will again handle the sales for S&amp;S.

Coolangatta is entering another wave of apartment development, following the delivery of several prominent residential projects in recent years.

John Kearney's Immerse Projects will launch&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kaiya-kirra-beach-5-haig-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Kaiya on Haig Street</a>&nbsp;soon, meanwhile, Palm Beach-based Sherpa Property Group is preparing to bring its debut Coolangatta development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/flourish-viver-87-griffith-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Flourish Viveré</a>, to market later this year, subject to approvals.

Three new tenants, including Property NSW, are moving into Mirvac's office tower at 101 Miller Street in North Sydney.
The new tenants -- Property NSW, Bedford CA and Access Innovation Media --  will in total occupy more than 4,700 sqm, bringing the premium grade office building to 83 per cent leased, Mirvac and joint owner and TH Real Estate said in a media release.
Property NSW has leased over 2,800 sqm on levels 21 and 22, for a five-year term, as it expands to accommodate more employees.
Bedford CA has leased over 1,428 sqm on level 16 for a seven-year term while Access Innovation Media will occupy 487 sqm on level one for a five-year term.
Mirvac’s general manager of Leasing and Agency Services, Paul Bezzina, said the commercial property market in North Sydney offered an exceptional working environment and access to retail facilities, hospitality and transport. 
“Located in the heart of North Sydney, 101 Miller Street is not only in close proximity to a variety of food and retail options, the office features fresh workspaces with refurbished ceilings, carpets and bathrooms,” said Bezzina.
Commenting on the leasing activity, TH Real Estate’s head of asset management, Australia, Jayson Egan, said the tenant demand in North Sydney remained strong. 
“With the low vacancy in the Sydney CBD, tenants are increasingly seeking alternative locations like North Sydney, which are more affordable and provide an outstanding work environment. We expect this trend to continue throughout the year,” Egan said. 
Mirvac is currently upgrading the office floors, the foyer and end-of-trip facilities which are expected to be completed later this year.
TH Real Estate is an investment affiliate of Nuveen (the investment management arm of TIAA), is one of the largest real estate investment managers in the world with about $99 billion in assets under management.
Recently, the Grand Pavilion Penthouse at the Mirvac-built Eastbourne project overlooking Fitzroy Gardens sold for close to $14 million.

Office leasing figures for Melbourne’s CBD jumped nearly 128 percent over the 12 months to March with the lion’s share bagged by government, according to preliminary data from Savills research.
The government and community sector drove the leasing surge, taking 38 percent of the space. 
Population growth and infrastructure projects have also been important market drivers. Savills associate director of Research, Monica Mondkar, said 569,810 square metre of leasing activity was recorded in the Central Melbourne office market in the last 12 months. 
“This is up 128 percent on the 250,000 square metres leased in the 12 months prior, and also up on the five-year average of 269,943 square metres, so these are quite remarkable figures in anybody’s language,’’ Mondkar said.
The Government &amp; Community sector was the dominant sector leasing 224,906 square metres, 83 per cent of which was Prime Grade. Direct leases totalled 77,868 square metres, while 81,000 square metres was pre-committed. Public administration was the largest sub-sector accounting for 65 per cent of the space taken-up under the Government &amp; Community sector, followed by Education at 23 percent.
Property and Business services was the next largest leasing sector at 28 percent followed by IT and Communication at 15 per cent and Finance and Insurance at 13 percent.
A number of factors contributed to the massive rise in leasing such as renewal of government leases, consolidation of government departments, population growth, government infrastructure projects, staff retention and recruitment requirements, and efficiency gains, added Phil Cullity, director, Office Leasing. 
“Last year, net absorption was 117,000 square metres which smashed the 10-year, 86,000 square metre average and all indications are that we are in for another 12 months like that,” he said.
Developers are pushing ahead with new buildings especially with economic rents being achieved, he added.

<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2017/03/29/MelbourneCBDLeasing.png" alt="">
“Overall governments – state and federal – have underpinned the massive take up with population growth also an important part of the equation,” he said.
Government departments had not upgraded during the GFC years of 2008/2009/2010 because of fewer options to go to, and a lot of government leases recently came up for renewal at the same time.
“The state government, in particular, has been proactive in taking advantage of market conditions, locking in rents and incentives, before rents begin to rise,” he said.
“Governments now realise that, as they are in competition with the private sector for the best young talent, they must offer a similar level of accommodation and that includes the latest building services including end of trip facilities, meeting facilities, amenities and access to transport, cafes.’’
Government tenants were also increasingly mindful of the need for more efficient buildings in reducing costs. 
The Victorian government’s current infrastructure programme including level crossing removals, the Metro Tunnel and the Western Distributor, was also driving the overall leasing market as companies associated with these projects were also taking leases in their vicinity, Cullity said.

The disruptive proptech company, the British real estate agency Purplebricks has set up office in Sydney, though its business is pitched currently elsewhere.
It has secured a short-term lease for a 300sq m office to use as its first headquarters in the the Coca-Cola building on Macquarie Street. 
Cadigal Office’s Nicholas Mulcahy and Knight Frank’s Jessica Roberts negotiated a gross annual rent of $550 a square metre.
Given its is set to be converted into luxury apartments, the group's lease is for six months to March 2017.
It reportedly could not find suitable larger premises in a tight Sydney office market.
The company will seek about 600 square metre space next year. 
After establishing a presence in Melbourne and Brisbane, Purplebricks will be rolled out to Sydney and the other capital cities 
The Australian business is being led by Ryan Dinsdale, the former marketing director of Virgin Money.
London-based Purplebricks chief executive officer Michael Bruce reckons Australia's "infatuation" with real estate, but dislike of the way traditional estate agents operate, will fuel the success of his company.
The British estate agency, which operates a fixed-cost, high-tech model, was recently launched with 50 "local property experts" and a $17.2 million marketing budget to spread the word among home sellers.
They will be charged a flat $4500 fee to sell their home through Purplebricks.
For those selling a $614,000 median-priced home (according to the ABS), this will be $11,500 cheaper than if they used a traditional estate agent charging a 2.2 percent commission.
Home sellers will also get access to Purplebricks' bespoke online platform
It grew to 300 local property experts in the UK in less than two years.

The NSW Government is on track to deliver the biggest ever government agency leasing commitment in Western Sydney, bringing more public sector jobs to the booming West.
Minister for Finance, Service and Property, Dominic Perrottet, today announced the state government had formed a shortlist of candidates to submit detailed proposals for up to 62,000 square metres of new A-Grade office accommodation in Sydney’s west.
The leasing solution will accommodate at least 4,000 public service roles in Western Sydney, with around 1,700 of those roles relocating directly from the CBD.
“Western Sydney is the beating heart of the NSW economy, and this Government is laying the foundations for a boom in jobs and economic growth to match the booming population,” Mr Perrottet said.
“In terms of establishing a major public-service base in the West, this leasing search is on an unprecedented scale, and will deliver more jobs closer to where people live, and a major stimulus for the local economy.”
The Government’s plan, first announced last year, includes the creation of a Western Sydney Planning and Environment “hub”, consolidating around 2,500 roles from the Department of Planning and Environment, the Office of Environment and Heritage and the Environment Protection Authority, enabling those agencies to better collaborate.
Approximately 1,600 roles from the Department of Finance, Services and Innovation will also be accommodated as part of the leasing search, with room for further relocations.
In the initial expressions of interest stage, the Government received a strong response from industry, with 28 proposals lodged for the accommodation solution. The shortlisted proponents will now be invited to participate in the detailed tender phase, due to close in November, with the successful proponent expected to be announced by the end of 2016.
Western Sydney Director of the Sydney Business Chamber, David Borger, said the announcement represents an incredible economic catalyst for Western Sydney.
“It makes sense to locate these agencies in Western Sydney given it is the heart of metropolitan Sydney,” he said. 
“This investment will supercharge the development of professional services and the retail economy.”
Since 2014, the Government has announced the relocation of more than 4,200 public service roles from the CBD to Western Sydney, including more than 1,800 jobs from the Department of Education, which will be relocated to Parramatta from 2018.

Office space in Hellenic House, the Sydney CBD building that has been the centre of Greek culture for nearly six decades, is being offered for lease.
The property at 251 - 253 Elizabeth Street opposite Museum Station is being marketed by Ray White Commercial’s John Skufris on behalf of the Hellenic Club.
The leasing offer follows the Hellenic Club opening its new Beta bar and gallery at 238 - 240 Castlereagh Street.
“There are currently areas from 100 sqm to 200 sqm available including the building's top floor with original timber floors and never to be built out east-facing Hyde Park views,” said Skufris.
The six-storey Hellenic House building was officially opened on October 19, 1959, by the then NSW Premier JJ Cahill.
The Hellenic Club, which was first formed in 1924, promotes Greek culture and currently offers sponsorship, donations and assistance to a range of organisations and individuals.

The Commonwealth Department of Finance has secured a multi-million dollar, long-term lease for One Canberra in an off-market deal.
Owned by integrated property firm The Willemsen Group, the prestigious 'A' grade 24,065 sqm office building is just 500 metres from Parliament House Canberra.
It consists of five levels of flexible floor plates varying from 2,200 sqm to 5,000 sqm.
Raine &amp; Horne Commercial executive chairman Angus Raine spoke about the deal.
“The department has signed a lease that will run for more than 15 years, and it is one of the very few Commonwealth deals of this magnitude finalised over the past 3 years.”
Angus said the One Canberra lease demonstrates the perseverance and deal-making expertise of the team at Raine &amp; Horne Commercial Canberra.
“The One Canberra lease represents a fantastic effort from our Commercial Canberra office to see the deal through to completion 
“This was a drawn out transaction that was three years in the making, and involved the Department of Finance consolidating into one building, where previously it occupied five different locations in Canberra. 
“To take up the lease, the Department was also moving out of office space it owned. This issue needed to be worked through very carefully and delicately.”
The long-term lease is a compelling example of an owner, agent and tenant collaborating to deliver the final product, according to Mr Raine. 
The active heart of One Canberra, which is a short distance to Manuka Shopping Precinct, is a 1,000 square metre, 5-storey central atrium.
This atrium provides access across the building and between floors via generous aerial bridges and a helical stair.
The building has been designed and is independently modelled to achieve a 5 star NABERS rating independent of solar generation.
Considerable effort and analysis was invested in the design of each floor plate to maximise functionality and the penetration of natural light. 
There are three levels of basement which provide parking for almost 500 cars, a loading dock, extensive shower facilities, bicycle parking, gymnasium and over 700 square metres of tenant storage.

Demand for quality Docklands Office stock has remained solid with a number of recent leasing deals at Waterfront City, 425 Docklands Drive.
During an eight-month period from September 2015 through to March 2016, 12 out of 14 leases in 425 Docklands Drive were negotiated by JLL’s Office leasing executive, Alexandra Harper on 1-5 year lease terms.
“Docklands has become an attractive value proposition for tenants that may have been displaced or priced out of the Melbourne CBD or fringe office markets."
The view was shared by local Melbourne investor JAK Investment Group who contracted to buy the 14 office suites in late 2015.  The fully leased Waterfront City building was developed by ING in 2005 and offers modern facilities, balconies and access to the Harbour Town Shopping precinct.
Recent deals in the building include:

The Docklands has become a sought-after business address, traditionally attracting large corporates to set up their national and regional headquarters, added Harper.
