If you are looking for trendy Inner City living, but need more space, then this 'Forum' apartment is a standout with a generous 122m2 of total space on offer. The direct North aspect for both bedrooms and the living areas capture an abundance of light. Surprisingly peaceful & private even though you are in the heart of the City, you will not see, let alone hear any traffic noise which might surprise you.

If you are looking for a good workout, the fully equipped gym is at your disposal, complete with aerobic equipment, pin-loaded machines & free weights. The Civic pool & gym is also located directly across the road if you want to get some laps in for exercise or just take a dip to cool off.
