Central Equity's brand new release "Southpoint" unveiled

Central Equity Limited recently announced that it has awarded the construction contract of its $110 million, 31-storey residential tower ‘City Point’ at 668 Bourke Street, Melbourne to Multiplex Constructions Pty Ltd. Off-the-plan sales of City Point over the last four months have been in excess of $100 million, with only 12 of the 308 apartments still available for sale.
 
Riding on the back of the huge success of City Point, Central Equity has brought forward the public release of its latest concierge apartment development, a $70 million project to be known as ‘Southpoint’.
 
The public release which was due for around June this year, has now been scheduled for May. Southpoint is located at 22 Kavanagh Street, Southbank on the corner of Kavanagh Street and Southbank Boulevard.
 
Southpoint is a unique opportunity to acquire an address in Melbourne’s finest inner city location.
 
In the last 10 years, billions of dollars have been spent on transforming Southbank into the premier arts and leisure precinct and a wonderful place to live. Only a short walk from Melbourne’s business district, Southbank is home to the Victorian Arts Centre (National Gallery, the State Theatre, the Melbourne Concert Hall) and numerous theatres. Southpoint is just 300 metres to Southgate, home to popular riverside cafes and fine dining and boutique shopping. Also nearby is Crown offering a host of entertainment options including casino, cinemas, live shows, fine dining and a five star hotel.
 
Southpoint’s location, in the green belt of inner Melbourne, is only metres from tree lined St Kilda Boulevard, the banks of the Yarra River, picturesque Kings Domain and the Royal Botanic Gardens. Also close by is Albert Park, home to Melbourne’s inner city lake, golf course and other sporting facilities.
 
Southpoint is well serviced by public transport. As well as the numerous trams on St Kilda Road and Southbank Boulevard, residents will only be a short walk to Melbourne’s main train hub, Flinders Street Station.
 
“When we started inner city development back in the early 90s, we relied on the convenience of location and proximity to work and entertainment. Now as the inner city lifestyle has grown more and more popular, there is a greater need for services and technology to complement today’s lifestyle for inner city residents”, Central Equity’s Managing Director, Eddie Kutner, said. He went on to say that “not only is the Southbank an outstanding success as a new residential precinct, but inner city residents really appreciate the services we are providing”.
 
Southpoint will feature a concierge service, a convenience grocery store with ATM and full keyless security. All services will be further enhanced with each apartment having the latest technology including fast Internet and full personalised e-mail.
 
Southpoint is the third of Central Equity’s new product range of concierge apartments, featuring "smart"building technology.
 
The building will be fitted with the latest in optic fibre network, which will also facilitate future development on IT telephone services, video conferencing, video on demand and music on demand. On the ground floor there will be a heated indoor swimming pool and gymnasium with a prestigious foyer, which will include artwork and a water feature.
 
The residential development boasts 31 storeys. The 1, 2 and 3 bedroom tower apartments start on Level 8 ensuring that all apartments offer bright interiors and panoramic outlooks from the living areas. With a choice of colour schemes and options when buying, purchasers can tailor the décor of their new inner city apartment. Some of these features include spacious carpeted living areas, modern kitchens, bathroom & laundry, and much more.
 
Central Equity’s sales of Southpoint apartments have already begun and are now selling from A$239,000. There are very good reasons why Southpoint is an ideal investment choice:
 
  • Save up to $25,000 government stamp duty (to early off-the-plan purchasers). Penthouse buyers save even more!
  • Pay just 10% deposit (protected by Law Institute Guarantee) until settlement
  • Fixed price
  • Freehold title
  • Ready for occupancy on completion
  • Strong potential rental demand – Rental guarantee
  • Choice of 1,2 and 3 bedrooms and penthouses
  • Secure undercover car parking
  • 10 year building warranty in accordance with Victorian State Government Legislation
  • Central Equity’s maintenance warranty
  • Exclusive property management services by Central Equity’s wholly owned subsidiary Melbourne Inner City Management
  •  
    Preliminary enquiries for buying off-the-plan at Southpoint are invited now on site between 12 - 5pm Saturday and Sunday, or ring (03) 9600 1111. Investors can save up to $25,000 in Stamp Duty (off the plan).
