Metropolis

Metropolis has around 373 apartments and was completed around 1999. It was built by local developer Andrew Krukzeiner. Apart from its excellent location with access to The Chancery and High Street it has the magnificent Courthouse as it's main entrance. The Penthouse apartments on level 31 to 36 apart from being magnificent have significant interior variations and this reflects in a wider range of $ per square metre than say the apartments on level 9 to 30 where a lot of uniformity exists.

Floors 9 to 30 have the same floor plate and on each floor there are 15 types all identifiable by the apartment number e.g. 901, 1001, 1101 and so on.

The 03 are the largest and then the 08 apartments on levels 9 to 30. The sizes exclude any decks so you need to consider this when using the data.

On levels 9 to 30 the apartments with decks have the following suffix 03, 04, 06 ,07, 09, 11, 12 and 13.
