This is a rare opportunity to acquire premium short-stay apartments within the highly regarded Forbes Residences in blue-chip Applecross - structured specifically for investors seeking stable, low-maintenance, long-term returns.

Offered together are three near-new, adjacent apartments on Level 2 at 10 Forbes Road, all currently secured under a long-term management lease with guaranteed income through to 2030, with an option to extend for a further five years.

The portfolio includes three properties in total, two dual-key apartments (210/210S and 211/211S), each configured as a one-bedroom apartment plus a separate studio. These can be leased individually or as combined two-bedroom suites, providing operational flexibility while remaining on a single strata title - an efficient structure that helps minimise strata fees and holding costs. The third property, apartment 212 is a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence with dual private balconies.

Returns are fixed under the lease and indexed annually to CPI, providing income certainty regardless of occupancy levels. Importantly, all day-to-day cleaning and ongoing furniture refurbishment costs are fully covered by the lessee, ensuring ownership remains genuinely hands-off with minimal ongoing financial outlay. The complete furniture, appliance & equipment inventory is included with the sale of each apartment.

At the conclusion of the lease term, owners retain flexibility - continue with short-stay management or transition the apartments to standard strata-titled use, including long-term leasing or personal use.

With a premium building, established corporate short-stay demand, and a tightly held Applecross location, these apartments also offer strong prospects for capital growth over the life of the investment.
