Centuria targets significant investor visa aspirants with Sydney office property syndicate investment opportunities

Centuria is now targeting Asian investors interested in applying for the Australian Significant Investor Visa.

Centuria recently acquired the 17 story 175 Castlereagh tower for $56 million and the 10 Spring Street office tower for $91.6 million.

Many of the investors in the 175 Castlereagh fund, launched in February, were high net worth individuals who invested above the $100,000 minimum requirement.

The 10 Spring Street fund advertises itself as being a "complying investment for investors seeking nomination by the NSW State Government for a Significant Investor Visa".
