Aniko Group put the second stage of its $140m Hope Island project, No. 1 Grant Ave, on the market in November 2020 and has sold all but six of its three-bedroom units.

Including its first stage, more than 210 units in the project have been sold in a one-year period.

“If you look at the value of the sales, we priced them well and our move many years ago to identify Hope Island as a great corridor to build in was right,” he said.

“The fact that we sold this in record time indicates our investment was the right call and we look forward to fast-tracking the project at No. 6-8 Sickle Ave based on the success.”

Construction of No. 1 Grant Ave is expected to be completed by Christmas 2021.
