‘Free Porsches’ offered to Sydney apartment owners
Buyers in an Aussie apartment block are being offered ‘free Porches’ with their home purchase.
The wealthiest homebuyers in this Aussie city aren’t just buying a designer apartment with waterfront views but also scoring access to a luxury perk waiting downstairs.
A fleet of brand new Porsches.
It’s just one of the luxuries Sydney’s most expensive residential development, One Sydney Harbour, is offering.
Instead of spending approximately $145,000 to own the base model Porsche Macan EV or$194,000 for the Porsche Taycan, residents can now hire one for a fraction of the cost.
