Both apartments auctioned at City Sales today were sold under the hammer, at widely divergent prices.
A small studio in 96 on Symonds (building pictured) went for just over $12,000/m² but a 2-bedroom unit in the Federal, at the lower end of Federal St, didn’t match the high-price performance and went for $8500/m² – still a respectable price in a market where bidders are a rare commodity.
Neither unit has a parking space or balcony.
