Property Advert of the Week: 2 Bond Street (1996)

Below is an advertisement from 1996 promoting apartments for sale in 2 Bond Street. While it was not completed until 1998, people could buy into what was rare at the time - a George Street address and be in proximity to what central Sydney has to offer. It made it possible for one to walk home in the time it took them to walk to Wynyard Station to take their train home to their suburban residence.

$252 000 for a one bedroom apartment. Good price.
