In fact, many of Canberra’s iconic buildings influenced the unique butterfly facade and edgy urban design of Metropol’s three towers.Geocon Group Head of Sales <a href="/agents/adam-morgan/">Adam Morgan</a> says Fender Katsalidis Architects have boldly created an inner-city habitat where vertical lines and angled facades make for a commanding street presence.He says every apartment in the striking new Braddon complex has been designed to take in sweeping views of the city or beautiful Glebe Park.<img alt="Metrolpol_5.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Metrolpol_5.width-800.jpg" width="800">With the precinct soon to be completed and residents excited about a spring settlement, Adam says owners and prospective buyers have been flocking to see the recently opened display apartments.“People can come in and get a feel for the high level of inclusions and the sweeping views from the rooftop terrace, from Mount Ainslie to the Brindabellas,” Adam said.“The owners have been overwhelmed with excitement about seeing their new homes come to life, and the project has exceeded their expectations.”<img alt="Metrolpol_1.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Metrolpol_1.width-800.jpg" width="800">Adam said about 90 per cent of the 550 apartments have been sold, with only 50 opportunities remaining across the three towers.He says the apartments offer an affordable opportunity for people seeking the vibrant, inner-city lifestyle, without the average $1.2 million price tag for a house and land in the inner northern suburbs.“If people want to live in the cool CBD area, we have two-bedroom options with a four in front, which is pretty exciting.”New residents include a mix of corporate couples and downsizers moving in from the suburbs who are seeking a maintenance-free turn-key property in the city.<img alt="Metrolpol_3.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Metrolpol_3.width-800.jpg" width="800">The one, two and three-bedroom apartments boast balconies, high-level finishes and a range of floor plans. Residents will also have exclusive access to the private amenities, including a breath-taking infinity-edge pool on level eight overlooking Glebe Park.Residents can entertain guests in the shared chef’s kitchen and resident lounge areas and live the resort lifestyle every day with private spas, saunas, relaxation room and viewing decks. There are also three roof-top gardens and a kids play area.<img alt="Metrolpol_4.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Metrolpol_4.width-800.jpg" width="800">“We’ve gone above and beyond the standards set by our competitors, with true luxury appeal taking apartment living to the next level,” Adam said.Metropol’s inner-city location gives residents easy access to all the CBD offers. Transport, including bus and light rail, is close at hand, and there’s easy access to bicycle paths and walking tracks. It’s also close to the city’s many bars, pubs, restaurants, cafes and shopping centres.Metropol captures a unique vision that is both urban and suburban.The <a href="https://zango.com.au/developments/metropol-braddon-act-2601/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Metropol</a> display apartments are open Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm or contact <a href="/agents/adam-morgan/">Adam Morgan</a> on 0487 888 666, or <a href="/agents/gabriel-exposito/">Gabriel Exposito</a> on 0418 484 672 to arrange a private inspection.Article was originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/iconic-views-wow-owners-as-edgy-metropol-apartments-near-completion" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct.</a>

There is no suburb in Canberra that has as much personality as <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/braddon-act-2612/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Braddon</a> in <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/region/north-canberra/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Canberra’s inner-north.</a>From what was once an industrial area with sprawling car yards and dealerships, Braddon’s hipster scene has come a very long way. Now, the 2612 postcode is to Canberra what <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/newtown-nsw-2042/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Newtown</a> is to <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/sydney-nsw-2000/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sydney</a>, or <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/fitzroy-vic-3065/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fitzroy</a> is to <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/melbourne-vic-3000/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Melbourne</a> – a neighbourhood bustling with cafés, op-shops, craft breweries and bars.<img alt="Braddon-2-810x456.jpg" class="richtext-image left" height="281" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Braddon-2-810x456.width-500.jpg" width="500">Braddon is arguably Canberra’s most colourful quarter, and there is plenty of things to see and do in the area. Here is a list of what the locals love:<h4>Haig Park Village Markets</h4>On every Sunday from 8am-2pm, Haig Park Village Markets is situated at the intersection between Lonsdale Street and Girrahween Street. The farmers market is a huge hit with local families – just make sure you turn up early so you can find a carpark. If you want to support regional farmers and local businesses, then Haig Park Village Markets must be your first point of call.<img alt="0P6A7690-810x540.jpg" class="richtext-image left" height="333" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/0P6A7690-810x540.width-500.jpg" width="500"><h4>Barrio Collective</h4>Barrio is the most hipster coffee joint in Braddon, and perhaps the entirety of Canberra. Right in the middle of Braddon’s main shopping precinct, you won’t miss Barrio because of the locals lining up outside in desperate need of their daily coffee fix. All blends are roasted in Canberra and the coffee is arguably the best in town. Dealing with the crowds on a weekend morning is worth it because the coffee is that good. You can also order food but there is often nowhere to sit, so ordering a takeaway and walking through Haig Park is always the next best option.<h4>Elemental Café</h4>There’s no denying it, hash browns, eggs, and bacon are meant to be on a burger bun drizzled with aioli. The Workers Burger at Elemental Cafe is the perfect hangover cure and hits all the right places. You can get the burger as part of a meal deal with a free coffee and sit outside, taking in all that Lonsdale Street has to offer. If you prefer to sit inside, then be prepared to be surrounded by Canberra Raiders paraphernalia and a chat to the friendly owners who never fail to greet you upon arrival.<h4>Grease Monkey</h4>A burger joint set up in an old mechanic’s garage, Grease Monkey pays homage to what Braddon once was. Overlooking Braddon’s famous rainbow junction, Grease Monkey’s name doesn’t disappoint – you are guaranteed a greasy burger experience chased down with a local beer. A good pit stop on the way to Assembly Pub, Grease Monkey even has a DJ play on Friday and Saturday nights.<img alt="Braddon-3-e1597043500804-810x401.jpg" class="richtext-image left" height="247" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Braddon-3-e1597043500804-810x401.width-500.jpg" width="500"><h4>Lost Vintage</h4>What started off as a DIY project has turned into a hidden fashion hotspot amongst Braddon’s hipster youth. Priding itself on using only recycles materials and second-hand furniture, Lost Vintage pays homage to slow fashion in all the right ways. While it’s not cheap, Lost Vintage takes you back to the 90s with its endless supply of denim jeans, branded and non-branded t-shirts and quirky accessories.<h4>Braddon Brew</h4>A locally owned hidden gem that specialises in coffee and beer, there is no wrong time to go to Braddon Brew. A father and son duo, the owners go out of their way to personalise custom roasted coffee or offer a range of quirky craft classics that will have you wanting more. To make your Braddon experience even more special, childhood mementos such as Yu-Gi-Oh cards, Jenga and Uno are available to play with your mates. What more could you want from a night out in Braddon?<h4>Frugii Dessert Laboratory</h4>Frugii or Messina – the two ice creameries, both alike in dignity, in fair Braddon, where we lay our scene. If you are truly a Braddon local then you would prefer Frugii over Messina. Why may you ask? Because Frugii is a family owned business with flavours as eclectic and as vibrant as Braddon itself. Tucked away in the Ori building, the icecream and gelato on offer will always surprise you: Black Truffle, Vegemite on Sourdough, and even Roasted Cauliflower with Rose Harissa. You can also treat yourself to homemade cakes and chocolates.<img alt="Braddon-8-810x456.jpg" class="richtext-image left" height="281" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Braddon-8-810x456.width-500.jpg" width="500"><h4>BentSpoke Brewing Co</h4>Yes, don’t worry, I wasn’t going to forget Bentspoke Brewing Co. It wouldn’t be much of a local guide to Braddon if I didn’t mention the brewery that is a living testament to the local culture – unpretentious and full of variety. Housing over 18 different types of beer and cider, the award-winning brewery guarantees a good quality beverage smack bang in the heart of Braddon. Just some of the brews you might find on tap include the Barley Griffin, the Braddon Bitter, and the Skywhale Ale.
