Duel on Vivian
Duel On Vivian
I simply like this development. Maybe 1 to 2 weeks from settlement, its a building I think has something. From the double entrances (1 for normal entry and the second for moving in or out), including good security, to the rather cool lifts (and the lift lights on each floor that remind me of Hal from 2001). These are dual key apartments - meaning two apartments on each title - a 1 or 2 bedroom and a studio. The studios are fully furnished, while the 1 and 2 bedroom apartments come with dishwashers, fridge and a washer/dryer. All the apartments get great natural light. Most of the apartments have either balcony’s or decks, adding just that little something.
The two bedroom apartments vary a little in design - from those with two doors onto the decks to ones with a study area outside the bedrooms. The one bedroom apartments are spacious and well, feel comfortable. The studios are bigger than a lot around the city and even without a firm move in date, we have already received rental deposits and applications galore.
While admittedly the front of the building has the best outlook, being over the Vivian St Park, the other sides have interesting views as well. Everything is a stones throw away. within a few seconds of leaving the building front doors, you have cafes galore to choose from, shops to browse and places to stay out late at night. Its a simple walk to the CBD and work, and a short stroll to Courtenay Place.
Taking into account the demand in the area - even in winter we rented rooms in an apartment on Vivian Street for between $160 per week (for an internal room) to $300 per week (for a very large double) - I feel really confident about this building. And I don’t say that often.
The developer has chosen a decent body corporate management company, good architects, and a great location. I look forward to saying more good things three odd months after people move in and then six, then twelve.
