Due to popular demand, 60% of the apartments at the Crest

in Asquith are now Sold. Since its release in November 2014,

interest in the project at 319 Peats Ferry Road has been

strong, with the majority of buyers being local investors, first

home buyers and downsizers. Completion is due late this

year. With the availability of grants up to $30,240 and the

recent drop in interest rates, now is the perfect time to buy
