As well as its plush One Central development in the inner city, Fletcher Living is developing 350 Colombo, on the site of the old Sydenham School. These entry-level one- and two-bedroom homes are ideal for the first-home buyer looking to get started on the property ladder, and are also ideal as a long-term investment property.

Early development of the site tended to be around the interior courtyard but there’s a lot more to see now that the Colombo Street frontage is taking shape. This modern three-level building with retail space at street level and 15 architecturally designed, two-level, two-bedroom residences above will complete the transformation of this increasingly desirable part of the city fringe. The area has more than its fair share of hospo, entertainment and retail opportunities, with The Colombo, cinema Academy Gold, and a host of eateries including Belgian Beer Café Torenhof, Hello Sunday, The Fermentist and 5th Street within easy walking distance.
