Not only will you benefit from capital appreciation, you’ll have complete control over your work space and your tenancy. The Foundry 3's flexi spaces are fully customisable. You can start small with an efficient use of space and expand with a mezzanine as your business expands. You can even lease back to your own business to maximise tax advantages.

Commercial Property owners aren’t subject to the Residential Tenancies Act. The Act strongly favours residential tenants and disadvantages residential landlords substantially – including taking away the landlord’s right to remove a tenant after 90 days.

Unlike residential property, the rules for depreciation and the tax benefits associated with it have been reinstated for commercial property at a rate of 2% a year. This recent change is permanent and ongoing. Over time it’s a significant long term advantage over residential, and provides an immediate cashflow advantage.

As an owner, you’re not liable for the operating expenses, these are the responsibility of the tenant and are additional to their lease.

While residential investments typically yield 2-3%, at The Foundry 3 investors can expect initial yields up to 6%. Leases also provide greater certainty to investors with fixed terms and guaranteed income for that lease period. Because The Foundry is attractively priced at an in-demand location, investors will be able to generate cashflow positive returns from the outset. Over time investors will be able to increase their returns with regular rent reviews.
