Hello, Helio. Fantastic Depreciation Benefits for Investors

Developed by Spec Property, the Helio is one of the most impressive modern residential apartments in North Melbourne. With stunning views of Flemington Road, these luxury apartments are delivering substantial depreciation benefits for our clients. Each apartment features:

  • Oak timber floors in living, dining, entry and kitchen

The result was a staggering $334,793 of depreciation deductions over the next 40 years. Our clients will be able to offset rental deductions and manage cash flow, potentially saving thousands of dollars in taxes. 

During the first full financial year alone, our client was able to claim depreciation deductions of up to $$14,149 for both the Building and Plant & Equipment assets.
