⏱ Days on market — this campaign

40 days since our daily sweep first saw this listing.

The portal's own campaign may have started slightly earlier than our first sighting. Longer campaigns tend to mean more negotiating room — the board's "Longest listed" sort exists for exactly that reason.

Rent evidence — asking vs transacted, Pyrmont · postcode 2009

$970/week median new-tenancy rent for units in 2009 (2026Q2, 189 bonds lodged — all bedroom counts pooled).

2019Q1 → 2026Q2: $750 → $970/wk · +6% over the last 12 months (latest four quarters averaged against the previous four) — quarterly new-tenancy medians for units in 2009, all bedroom counts pooled.

Asking rents are what agents hope for; bond figures are what tenants actually signed at (NSW Fair Trading bond lodgements, CC BY). No yield % is derived here: each rent above is a different grain from this home's price, and a ratio of two grains reads as precision it doesn't have. New-tenancy rents run hotter than sitting rents. Not financial advice.

Growth trend — Pyrmont units at auction

Measured like-for-like growth ≈ 3.9%/yr — 2-bed sold-price medians across 16 quarters (47 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 — MU1 Mixed Use

Shops/offices below, apartments above. Walkable and lively, but denser and busier.

Zone MU1 (Mixed Use) under the SYDNEY LEP, from the NSW ePlanning layers at this address's geocoded point — a guide, not a parcel-level legal check. Confirm the exact lot at the NSW Planning Portal.

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. Verify any application on the NSW Planning Portal.

Construction risk — what no listing tells you

Active state-pipeline project within 150m: 56 - 60 Pyrmont Bridge Road, Pyrmont (120m — SSD-129494241) · 56-60 Pyrmont Bridge Road, Pyrmont (120m — SSD-127281248)

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).

This property sits within 150m of an active state-pipeline project. Adjacent construction — especially deep excavation — is a documented damage pathway for existing buildings (Mascot Towers). Get an independent structural and strata inspection, and ask the strata manager about the neighbouring works, before you commit.

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 SP50946 registered 1995 — the building is at least 31 years old · 563 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.
