In research conducted by Canberra CBD Limited the community differentiates “The City” from other centres around Canberra for its central location, quality and variety.
One resident quoted “Living in the CBD you are close to everything – work, shopping, eating, entertainment, socialising and the facilities you need and want are all nearby, you are even close to the bush and the lake.”
Property owners see the CBD as offering critical mass and prestige/quality. These factors, along with the geographically central location, are seen to also contribute to making the CBD attractive for tenants and their clients/customers.
If you would like more details of the research.
