The Pre-Construction Grant…
First home buyers who have their sights set on a brand new inner-city apartment could save more than $40,000 if they sign contracts in the next three months on buildings yet to be built!
In his recent Budget speech, Treasurer Tom Koutsantonis revealed a number of property developments had not sold enough apartments off the plan to start construction.
Enter the Pre-Construction Grant – Purchasers who enter into an eligible off-the-plan apartment contract between 22 June 2017 and 30 September 2017 will now be eligible to receive a $10 000 grant.
On top of this new grant, the following existing incentives continue to remain in place;
- The Off-the-Plan Stamp Duty Concession of up to $15,500.
- The First Home Owner Grant of $15,000 for new residential property.
This means first home owner’s buying a new apartment could now save as much as $40,500!
People who have previously owned a home will be eligible to receive the stamp duty concession and new pre-construction grant, saving up to $25,000.
The initiative is designed to limit urban sprawl, support jobs and economic growth through construction, and increase city vibrancy – with the majority of developments centred in the CBD and fringe suburbs.
Treasurer Tom Koutsantonis said the $10,000 grant, combined with the Adelaide City Council’s scheme to give owner occupiers a ‘five-year holiday from council rates’ was a great incentive to buy off the plan!

PS. Why invest in a new Apartment? As a general rule, we recommend investors steer clear of inner city apartments due to potential oversupply issues and overall poor investment performance. What makes 354 Bowden different however, is that it’s not located in the CBD. Unlike the city where there will always be a steady stream of new apartment projects coming on the market, Bowden contains a finite number of developments as part of its overall masterplan – this means once all the projects are complete there will be no further development. As an investment, Bowden ticks many of the boxes; location, community, amenities, high owner occupier mix, and strong rental demand – most importantly the numbers stack up!
