Latest results from Ray White City Apartments auctions - larger apartments prove popular
What a view. This apartment in the Quay Regency building was passed in on a vendor bid of $600,000 and negotiations with potential buyers are continuing.

There have been mostly larger, better quality apartments coming up for auction at Ray White City Apartments over the last couple of weeks.

That could see them appeal to owner-occupiers and investors and there were multiple bidders for most of the units on offer.

The most spectacular apartment on offer was in a converted office building on Quay St (pictured right) which had spectacular waterfront views, although it failed to sell on the day.
