Market Commentary: This is a very rare opportunity to acquire a quality investment property in the Darling Street, Rozelle retail strip which is undergoing significant renaissance. With a changing demographic the demand for quality retail premises has increased and this is reflected in the growth of rentals which are predicated to continue into the future as retail strip develops further.

We have no hesitation in recommending this property as a solid investment, with good rental growth and possible occupation mid 2006.
