Top 5: Chippendale white hot amongst NSW properties
Chippendale was the place to be in New South Wales’ commercial property market over the past week, with the top two NSW properties on Realcommercial both within the borders of the popular inner-city suburb.
While industrial assets maintained their steady surge in popularity, retail was also a surprise strong performer, occupying two of the top five spots on the state’s ‘most-viewed’ list.
