Buying off-plan or new property is the first choice among many foreign investors in Australia.
In fact, established property is only available to local citizens and temporary residents, unless you get an approval from the FIRB (Foreign Investment Review Board).

Metricon has been ranked as the biggest residential developer in Australia by the Housing Industry Association (HIA) since 2011. In 2017, it retained its top position with 4,365 starts, more than any other developer.

Metricon builds mostly single and double story homes. In addition, they offer services like knocking down old properties for rebuilding purposes, build display homes for investors and customize apartments according to your living style.
