“The apartment block will comprise of a mix of one, two and three-bedroom units, which buyers will be able to secure with an initial $2000 deposit and five per cent on exchange.
“As Sydney’s housing prices continue to break records, more people are discovering the attractive lifestyle that Wollongong has to offer, with around 20,0000 residents choosing to live in Wollongong and commute to Sydney each day.
“Astute investors are starting to take note of this and the number of inquiries from investors for residential property in Wollongong has increased significantly in recent times.”
Units in the Aura Apartments will feature tiled bathrooms and kitchens, ensuites to the main bedroom, carpeted living areas and bedrooms and an open plan design.
