My NEW Home! I wish...

Hi all, I would like to introduce to you, my *very own bachelor's pad!
.
Welcome to Franklin Lofts
FRANKLIN LOFTS, 83-93 Franklin Street MELBOURNE
.
My most humble abode.
*after 10 standard drinks
.
It's conveniently located in between Queen Victoria market and Melbourne Central. And the best part is, it's just across the street from my favourite supermarket, ALDI (below Milano Aparments.. Hey 2WO Chandra, I found it!)
.
The view when you step into the lobby of Franklin Lofts.

Wow, the wall painting looks remotely Buddhist. (Don't quote me)

My friends love coming over to parrttyyy at my place:
.
Meet my new friend Carolyn (in white).

I just love it when my friends stand in my balcony, assuming the usual jaw-dropping awe-struck position for up to 5 seconds before remembering to close their mouth again.
.
That's the city sky line in the daytime.
.
My friends simply love performing Yoga at my place as it's so spacious!

Sometimes, I love looking down on my friends, from my bedroom upstairs:

One thing puzzles me though.. why do all my friends gape in awe of the beautiful sunset?
HELLO!? Haven't you ever seen such a beautiful sunset from such an upmarket, wonderfully constructed, award winning, high rise, perfect-view building before? Jeez... I see this everyday.. B..O..R..I..N..G..

The Franklin Lofts offers 189 split-level apartments over 31 floors. Construction began in 2000 and was completed late in 2001. The building was awarded a Master Builder Excellence in Construction award in 2002. The design concept emerged from the idea of two-storey, New York style, lofts in a modernist high-rise building. Investors have enjoyed above-market rental returns and capital gains, and the building remains highly popular amongst the international student market thanks to its location in the heart of Melbourne's educational precinct.

Jealous?

-don't be, it's not mine.

JJ Rating: 4/5 - Time to move !
