Local rents — postcode 2135 units, new tenancies

$700/week median new-tenancy unit rent in 2135 (2026Q2, 203 bonds lodged).

The rent is real (NSW Fair Trading bond lodgements, CC BY) but it pools every bedroom count in the postcode and this is a 2-bed — so we don't derive a yield % from it: a ratio of two different grains reads as precision it doesn't have. New-tenancy rents also run hotter than sitting rents. Not financial advice.

Growth trend — Strathfield units at auction

Measured like-for-like growth ≈ 1.2%/yr — 2-bed sold-price medians across 16 quarters (61 sales).

Suburb-level, from published auction results. No single building has enough sales for a block-level series, so this is the honest grain; sales-mix shifts move raw medians, and the measured rate (when shown) controls for bed count.

Planning & zoning — E2 Commercial Centre

A major retail/office core — the busiest, most built-up kind of location.

Height limit 54m (≈ 17 storeys) — the current legal ceiling for new building at this point under the LEP. Any proposal above it needs a variation or a rezoning — the kind of change the fast-track pipeline tracks.

Floor space ratio 3:1 — the maximum gross floor area you can build is 3:1 times the site area.

Strata plan SP18667 — A strata-titled scheme — the parcel area is the WHOLE scheme's land, not this unit's. From the NSW cadastre at this address's geocoded point.

Development applications — at & near this address

Development application data © NSW Department of Planning and Environment, used under CC BY 4.0. Matched at this exact address or within ~150 m of its geocoded point — proximity evidence, not a parcel-level check. Lodged means proposed, not approved or built. Outcome comes from a separate NSW dataset that stops in Nov 2023: applications determined after that, or still undetermined, read “not on record” — which means we don't know, never that it was refused. “Status” is the council's own workflow state and “Determined” on its own does not say which way it went.

Construction risk — what no listing tells you

Building Commission NSW / Strata Community Association 2023 Strata Defects Survey: 53% of newly registered strata buildings reported at least one serious defect in common property (39% in the 2021 survey). Defects are common, not exceptional — and new does not mean safe (Opal Tower was under a year old).

Get an independent structural and strata inspection before you commit — the defect base rate makes it the single highest-value dollar in the purchase.

We cannot see inside a building — no one can from public records. This section states base rates and observable adjacency only, and will never call a building safe.

The building — its registered strata scheme

Strata plan SP18667 registered 1982 — the building is at least 44 years old · 132 lots in the scheme (large scheme — expect facilities and higher levies).

Registration is an age floor, not a build date — a converted building is older than its strata plan. Scheme records from the NSW Strata Hub. © State of New South Wales (Spatial Services, a business unit of the Department of Customer Service NSW). For current information go to spatial.nsw.gov.au.
