Market Insights
Shopping-center integrated apartments (Bondi Junction, Westfield Sydney, Broadway) command 8-14% rental premiums ($55-$95/week) from tenants valuing elevator-to-grocery convenience, 24/7 security, and retail/dining amenities without car dependency.
Mixed-use retail-residential developments achieve 95-98% occupancy with average tenancy lengths of 2.6-3.2 years, driven by lifestyle convenience, public transport integration (train stations at Bondi Junction, Chatswood, Parramatta), and work-from-home amenity access.
Apartments above major shopping centers in Chatswood, Parramatta, and Bondi Junction deliver 7-10% annual capital growth, outperforming Sydney metro (5-7%), due to retail anchor stability, transport node integration, and 15-minute city planning policies prioritizing mixed-use density.
