Benefits of City Fringe Apartments
Market Insights
City fringe apartments in Surry Hills, Chippendale, and Redfern deliver 4.5-5.5% rental yields, driven by CBD proximity (walkable), creative precinct demand from young professionals, and thriving hospitality/dining scenes on Crown Street and Cleveland Street.
Warehouse conversions command 20-35% premiums over generic high-rises, with buyers and tenants valuing exposed brick, high ceilings, and industrial heritage in tightly held precincts where rezoning limits new supply and preserves character.
Central Park Chippendale and Redfern Station renewal have driven 12-18% capital growth, with tech workers, students (UTS, Sydney Uni), and downsizers attracted by walkability, cultural amenity, and boutique community feel within 2km of CBD.
