Situated on level 13 of the Mantra Sydney Central building, managed by the renowned Accor group, this property presents a high-performing, hassle-free income-generating asset in a prime mid-city location.

Conveniently located just 100 meters from the Capital Theatre and within footsteps of the Chinatown light rail, the apartment benefits from excellent accessibility and vibrant city living. Currently leased through a specialized short-term rental agency, it has achieved an impressive annual net return of $55,288.56, equating to a 5.5% net return based on the asking price, with potential for further improvement.
