Our NBtax team was engaged to provide a detailed depreciation report for a new $15.9m residential and mixed-use complex in St Leonards, NSW. The property is located amidst a vibrant commercial district on the lower North Shore of Sydney.
Completed in March 2021, the complex spans seven storeys and is built on an 835sqm site with four levels of basement parking offering 45 car spaces. The building has five levels of residential living comprising 29 apartments including 3 studios, 22 x 1 bedrooms, 3 x 2 bedrooms, and 1 x 3 bedrooms.
