Published in The Age on 27th September, 2014 was a clear introduction into why we are developing in areas such as High Street, Thornbury and Preston- Most notably our new development, Seed Preston. Not only was it considered a cool area to live but also affordable for young professionals, seeking the city lifestyle. Below are some excerpts from the article that truly reflects our values, click here to read the article in its entirety.
“What gives a location cool factor? Agents say the coolest streets for real estate have a convenient mix of retail, like galleries, grocers and emerging designer boutiques – negating the need to venture to the city or a shopping centre – restaurants and cafes with top reputations, and public transport so getting to the central business district is a breeze.
The mix creates a haven for time poor professionals and empty nesters reclaiming their lifestyle after kids have left home.”
“Prices commanded by homes on High Street in Northcote, famous for its pubs and live music venues, are starting to be achieved at the Preston and Thornbury end. One end of the street becomes cool, and the trickle-down effect is natural.”
