Changing the use of any property can lead to riches.
A former Paddington garage that has been transformed into a two bedroom terrace with parking will possibly prove the adage at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-paddington-117964819" target="_blank">its upcoming 18 October Position Realty auction</a>.
"Having experienced a truly remarkable makeover, The Garage has been transformed into a unique three-storey freestanding architectural masterpiece of contemporary design," listing agent Deborah Terley said.
With custom finishes and interiors throughout, the sleek residence comes with Centrepoint Tower views.
The single storey lock-up garage<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-paddington-113013491" target="_blank" style="line-height: 1.3em;"> sold at $822,500</a> in July last year. 
Positioned between adjoining terraces, the then lock up garage occupied its 76 square metre block with a width of 4.6 metres.
It now has 93 square metres of living space plus  23 square metres of courtyard.

Previously Laing Real Estate sold it with the property behind for $1.35 million in 2006. The then garage had a de-serviced petrol pit.
More than $1.2 million is now being tipped.

The Australian estate agency CBRE has suggested the recent offshore marketing of Melbourne's tallest building, Australia 108, was being undertaken by "rogue" agencies.
Last week a Singaporean agency started taking buyer interest registrations, <a href="/expert-insights/buying/southbanks-australia-108-marketing-underway-offshore-through-knight-frank-singapore">on which Property Observer reported</a>. The website page was removed this week.
<img src="/images/2014/09/23/australia-108-sept-23-one.png">
Screenshots from the Singaporean website marketing Australia 108 before it was removed.
CBRE was also aware of another Singaporean company taking registrations using dated imagery of the former project.
The ambitious project's former owner, a mostly local Melbourne developer syndicate had begun <a href="/news/vic/fender-katsalidis-australia-108-tower-seeks-1-000-early-buyer-registrants">privately taking deposits</a> on the then 108-storey proposal offering from late 2012.
But the revised project, which is still awaiting final floor plan designs, is now being developed by the Singaporean company, Aspial.
At 319 metres it will be the tallest block in the southern hemisphere.
There will be an estimated 1,105 apartments in the complex, located up to its 100th level with a 2019 estimated completed date.
"It is a rogue operator attempting to get registrations," CBRE Residential Projects Victoria managing director Andrew Leoncelli told Property Observer.
"It's my project," he said, adding the two Singaporean agencies were "unauthorised".
Giving an estimated November 2014 to March 2015 timetable for the initial marketing, he indicated CBRE was the only appointed agency.
While CBRE have not yet taken any registrations, a January 2013 CBRE press release after the development site sale to the Aspial group indicated "people who have registered their interest in an Australia 108 apartment will be contacted with an update on designs for the tower once plans are further advanced." 
The prior Australia 108 consortium included Nonda Katsalidis; investor Adrian Valmorbida; developer Benni Aroni representing the Watersun syndicate made up of himself, Gary Caulfield, Rob Elliott and others; and the Beulah International syndicate representing the Malaysian partners.
Comment has been sought from Aspial.
The Knight Frank Singaporean commission agent spoken to by Property Observer said he had authorisation to take inquiries and registrations.
"Our company has been appointed," he said referring Property Observer to the agency website, which has since been taken down.
<img src="/images/2014/09/23/australia-108-sept-23-seven.png" alt="">
 
Designed by Melbourne-based and internationally renowned architect, Fender Katsalidis, the iconic tower comes with a striking starburst at levels 70 and 71 that will house Melbourne’s highest and largest recreational facilities area for residents.
<div class="page" title="Page 2">
<div class="section">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
The iconic golden starburst will be located 210m above ground level and will house luxurious services for residents, including club lounges, fitness centres and private dining spaces, private theatres as well as two large gymnasiums and infinity edge pools, all of which will enjoy spectacular views over Melbourne. Level 70 will also feature a sky garden,
Facilities on level 70 will be for all residents, while residents living in the 170 apartments located above the starburst (from level 72 onwards) will enjoy exclusive access to private recreational facilities on level 71. The tower’s luxurious penthouse will exclusively occupy level 100. 
<div class="page" title="Page 2">
<div class="section">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
“We see significant opportunities and interest in the Melbourne property scene – given it has been voted the most livable city in the world1 for the last four years. said Mr Koh Wee Seng, CEO of Aspial recently.
<div title="Page 2">
“The Group is extremely privileged to be able to deliver such a landmark project in Melbourne, where we see a great appetite for luxury apartment living. We believe this building will redefine luxury living and also play a major role in showcasing Melbourne as a world-class city and leader in modern architecture,” Koh Wee Seng added, indicating the project had a S$1 billion gross development value.
Prices for one bedroom apartments will start from A$450,000.

John Dumesny, who negotiated the $187 million sale of the former Harold Park raceway in 2010, has bought into the unfolding Mirvac development.
Dumesny, the chief executive of Harness Racing NSW, along with business partner, lawyer Eve McGregor, bought a three-bedroom investment terrace at the weekend launch of Chevalier, the fifth precinct in the Glebe development.
<a href="https://haroldparkbymirvac.com/visual-tour" target="_blank">Dumesny worked onsite at the paceway from 1988 to 2010</a>.
"It is like coming full circle," he told Fairfax Media.
The north-facing park-front terrace homes had prices ranging from $1.9 million to $2.15 million.
Of the 111 apartments and terraces offered, 92 had sold by late Saturday taking sales at Harold Park to more than 1000.
The Harold Park project is set on the former raceway site 2.5 kilometres from the CBD.
It will comprise 1,250 apartments and terraces on completion.

Billionaire Harry Triguboff has suggested the Queensland government’s crackdown on criminal gangs on the Gold Coast has assisted the recovery of the property market.
“I am very happy with what ­Campbell Newman has done with the criminals,” Harry Triguboff is quoted saying in the Australian Financial Review.
“The criminals were in the best parts such as Surfers Paradise, it’s not like they were just living at Logan.
“It was quite frightening to walk in the commercial areas of Cavill [Avenue] at night but it is not any more.”
He suggested the effect was evident with both interstate and foreign buyers.
“For foreigners when they come to a strange place, they already are unsure of themselves,” Triguboff said,
“So they needed to know they were safe too.”

Comedian Mick Molloy has sold his East Melbourne apartment which was listed mid-year through Jock Langley, of Abercromby’s.

The park side sixth floor apartment with city skyline views came with $3.2 million to $3.5 million price guidance. It is understood to have been bought by a printing industry business owner who has dabbled in eateries.

Molloy bought the two-bedroom apartment overlooking Fitzroy Gardens on Clarendon Street in 2007 for $3,125,000 off the plan, with settlement in 2009.

Indications have been that he would be seeking a property better suited to his young twin sons, Fred and Lenny, with Title Tattle gleaning he might instead rent awaiting a correction in the toppy Melbourne market before buying back. It has been the strategy suggested by the 3MMM breakfast team finance expert Scott Pape.

The master bedroom has its own balcony in the Bates Smart-designed block.

The European kitchen flows through to lounge and dining areas that open to a terrace.

<div class="cT-imageLandscape">
The Salta-built apartment comes with parking for two cars and storage room.

The complex has a 24-hour concierge, cinema, gym, 25-metre pool, steam room and sauna.

Southbank's Australia 108 marketing underway offshore through Knight Frank Singapore

A trio of Queensland property groups have unveiled plans for a $300 million mixed-use redevelopment of the former Noosa Bowls Club site, a proposal that would deliver more than 200 new homes in one of the Sunshine Coast's most supply-constrained markets.

Kilter Property, Frank Developments and Calile Malouf Investments are behind the plans for the 1.8-hectare site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/99-noosa-drive-noosa-heads-qld-4567">99 Noosa Drive</a>, which would transform the long-vacant site into a new residential precinct featuring 208 apartments, retail, hospitality and public space.

The proposal comes as Noosa continues to grapple with housing affordability and a shortage of permanent accommodation, particularly for key workers. The site's location in Noosa Junction, close to shops, public transport and employment, aligns with the direction of Noosa Council's Housing Strategy, which encourages higher-density housing within established activity centres rather than continued urban expansion.

The draft plans include 48 affordable-by-design apartments and 48 rooming accommodation units aimed at key workers. Around 2,000 sqm of ground-floor retail and food and beverage space would activate the street frontage, alongside a new public town square and landscaped open space.

<img alt="Noosa" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2dd02f53-1360-4e51-801e-bfd61a6c980e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-26%20at%208.44.34%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=x1iNs3BSMN6Jy7YUwaBZMHRrrKX2hMpy" />

&nbsp;

Frank Developments Founder and Director Frank Licastro said the development would continue the company's focus on architecturally-led residential projects while addressing one of the region's biggest challenges.

"Not only will this project exude a sense of luxury, it will also enhance not only the built environment but also the surrounding community," Licastro said.

"Noosa's success relies on the people who live and work here. Providing well-designed accommodation for key workers is critical to supporting the local economy and ensuring the Shire can continue to thrive."

Kilter Property Co-Founder Huw Williams said the focus was on delivering additional permanent housing while creating a mixed-use destination that benefits both residents and the wider community.

"Our focus is on delivering a well-considered mixed-use project that provides more permanent housing options, supports local workers and businesses, and delivers an exceptional product for the local market," Williams said.

"The redevelopment vision aligns with the long-term evolution of Noosa Junction as a vibrant activity centre, creating a destination that enhances the area's character while delivering significant economic and community benefits."

Calile Malouf Investments, best known for its role in Brisbane's James Street precinct and The Calile Hotel, will bring its place-making experience to the project. The company recently commenced construction on The Calile Noosa hotel and says the residential development will complement its growing investment in the region.

CMI Director Cal Malouf said the aim was to create a walkable precinct combining housing, retail and hospitality while remaining true to Noosa's character.

"We see a similar opportunity in Noosa to deliver a vibrant, walkable destination that combines exceptional housing, hospitality and retail in one integrated project," Malouf said.

Brisbane-based Cavill Architects has been appointed to design the project.

Noosa Bowls Club to be redeveloped into mixed-use apartment precinct

One of Brisbane's last major riverfront redevelopment opportunities has taken a significant step forward, with Lendlease selected as the Queensland Government's preferred development partner for the former Visy site in South Brisbane.

The seven-hectare industrial site, positioned between South Bank and West End and 1.3 kilometres from the Brisbane CBD, will be transformed into a mixed-use precinct expected to deliver more than 4,000 new homes alongside extensive public open space and riverfront parkland.

The project is one of the largest urban renewal opportunities currently planned in Brisbane and is expected to play a key role in accommodating the city's growing population ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Plans for the precinct include a network of riverfront promenades and boardwalks, new public plazas, parkland, amphitheatre-style gathering spaces and shared pedestrian and cycling links designed to reconnect the long-isolated site with the Brisbane River.

The Queensland Government is targeting delivery of the first homes and key public spaces before the 2032 Games, allowing the precinct to begin contributing new housing and public amenity well before the broader masterplan is complete.

The redevelopment is also expected to support more than 3,000 jobs across planning, construction and ongoing operations.

For Lendlease, the appointment adds another major urban regeneration project to its Queensland portfolio. The developer has operated in the state for more than 70 years and has delivered a number of large-scale mixed-use precincts in partnership with government.

Lendlease Development CEO Claire Johnston said the project represented one of Brisbane's most significant redevelopment opportunities.

"The transformation of the former Visy site represents a rare opportunity to reimagine one of Brisbane's most significant riverfront locations, deliver thousands of much-needed homes, and create long-term legacy," Johnston said.

"In partnership with the Queensland Government, we have the opportunity to create a new riverside destination that will help shape Brisbane's growth and how people experience the city for decades to come.

"This is exactly the type of large-scale, city-shaping development that will provide lasting benefits for Queensland, bringing together housing, jobs and world-class public spaces."

Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning Jarrod Bleijie said the riverfront transformation would deliver a thriving new community precinct.

“The Crisafulli Government is delivering this golden opportunity to unlock a riverfront jewel for all Queenslanders,” Deputy Premier Bleijie said.

“This is a once-in-a-generation moment to reshape a significant slice of Brisbane and deliver lasting benefits – thousands of new homes, and public spaces for all Queenslanders to enjoy well beyond the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games – unlike Labor’s plan which would have delivered zero benefits and zero new homes.

“Queensland is well and truly open for business and through partnership with the private sector, we are accelerating delivery while ensuring strong housing, community and economic outcomes."

Early works on the precinct are expected to commence in April 2027.

Lendlease selected to deliver transformative South Brisbane riverfront precinct

Eddy Haddad's <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/level-33">Level 33</a> is levelling up its approved Wollongong development, as the coastal city south of Sydney continues to prove popular in the high-density development space.

Level 33, a longtime developer in the Wollongong area, has gone through the NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority to upsize its approved two-tower development on the corner of Crown Street and Gladstone Avenue, just 100 metres from Wollongong Station.

The developer currently has approval for 252 apartments across two buildings rising to 19 storeys. It is now seeking approval for 33 and 38-storey towers that would deliver 467 apartments, including 67 affordable homes.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bka-architecture">BKA Architecture</a>, the development would comprise apartments above a three-level podium with around 1,100 sqm of retail space, along with basement parking for 448 vehicles.

According to the Urban Design Report by BKA, the proposal has the capacity to "reinforce the precinct's identity by strengthening links between health, education, and transport services, while also contributing to Wollongong's ongoing evolution as a key regional centre."

Wollongong is somewhat in vogue. Between Level 33 and Urban Property Group, the two developers have several thousand apartments planned across the city.

Level 33 is currently delivering Easterly Wollongong, one of its most boutique projects to date with just 21 high-end apartments, as well as Atchison &amp; Kenny, a 329-apartment development due for completion later this year.

The developer plans to redevelop the 13,088 sqm WIN Grand megasite into <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/crown-square-216-238-keira-street-wollongong-nsw-2500">Crown Square</a>, a new $500 million precinct with nearly 600 apartments. It also has more than 900 apartments planned for the former Bunnings Warehouse site at the intersection of Gipps and Flinders streets.

Urban Property Group is also playing a major role in the city's transformation. Its five-tower Keira Place precinct will deliver more than 800 homes, and it has recently lodged plans for a further 300 apartments near Wollongong Station.

First look: Level 33 upsizes Wollongong apartment towers

Just a week after filing plans for the final stage of its major Keira Place masterplan, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/urban-property-group">Urban Property Group</a> has unveiled another significant housing proposal in Wollongong, this time targeting a prominent site opposite North Wollongong Station.

The developer has lodged a State Significant Development Application for a 38-storey mixed-use tower at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/4-4a-flinders-street-north-wollongong-nsw-2500">4-4A Flinders Street</a>, around one kilometre north of the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/keira-place-wollongong-120-122-smith-street-wollongong-nsw-2500">Keira Place precinct</a> currently taking shape on the edge of the CBD.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group plans 38-storey North Wollongong tower as Keira Place expansion gathers pace" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2b6428f1-6405-4038-8476-897de440e90d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/flinders%20podium.png?VersionId=QLqEvK0OuCEwRC47oHNftrw2B1YqaHF8" />

Designed by Studio.SC, the proposal comprises a 38-storey mixed-use development containing 303 apartments, including 45 affordable housing units, alongside 174 co-living residences. The scheme also includes ground-floor retail space, extensive landscaping and public domain improvements.

Studio.SC noted in the proposal it "outlines a vision for a landmark transit-oriented mixed-use development centred around North Wollongong Station, designed to support the city’s future growth while responding to the NSW Government’s housing and planning reforms."

The architecture firm said the proposal responds to the opportunities and constraints shaping future growth within the 400-metre catchment of the station and represents "a coordinated and future-focused approach to urban intensification, contributing to the long-term evolution of North Wollongong as a connected, walkable and high-density station precinct."

The site occupies a strategic corner bounded by Flinders Street, Station Street, Stafford Street and the Princes Highway, directly opposite North Wollongong Station.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group plans 38-storey North Wollongong tower as Keira Place expansion gathers pace" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7863adad-1f71-4022-b850-f44b252738fd" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/flinders%20podium%20a.png?VersionId=WsU7av0g8_8R2tGHWxgHeFSlhu7yeY1V" />

The proposal follows Urban Property Group's recent submission for the second and final stage of Keira Place, which would deliver a further three buildings comprising 657 homes opposite Beaton Park. It builds on the first stage, which features 150 apartments across two towers and recently commenced construction.

Urban Property Group CEO Patrick Elias said breaking ground on the first stage marked a significant milestone for Wollongong and reflected the developer's long-term commitment to regional cities.

"Today's groundbreaking is about turning approvals into homes and moving quickly to deliver much-needed housing in Wollongong's city centre," Elias said.

"Keira Place will provide a diverse mix of homes close to jobs, transport and services, while setting a high benchmark for quality, durability and consumer protection."

First look: Urban Property Group plans next major Wollongong tower

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/arada">Arada Australia</a> has wasted little time expanding its ambitions in Campsie, lodging plans for a second major project in the rapidly transforming town centre just months after unveiling its three-tower One Campsie proposal on Beamish Street.

The UAE-backed developer has now taken aim at one of the suburb’s most strategically positioned sites, filing a State Significant Development Application for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/10-north-parade-campsie-nsw-2194">33-storey mixed-use tower</a> at 10 London Street and 43 North Parade, directly opposite the future Campsie Metro Station. The proposal is currently on public exhibition and represents another significant vote of confidence in Campsie's emergence as one of Sydney’s key transit-oriented growth centres.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>, the development would deliver 156 apartments above a podium containing retail and commercial space, creating a new residential and commercial gateway to the town centre. The scheme also includes a four-level above-ground parking podium and a dedicated residential amenity floor featuring wellness and recreation facilities. At least 10 per cent of the apartments would be allocated as affordable housing for a period of 10 years.

The proposal occupies a 1,631 sqm site bounded by London Street, North Parade and Dispensary Lane, immediately adjoining the future Metro station precinct and just metres from Beamish Street’s retail and dining strip. According to the Urban Design Report, the project seeks to deliver "a great place that prioritises human-scaled experience and provides spatial improvements to the area."

<img alt="First look: Arada doubles down in Campsie with 33-storey Metro-front tower plans" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="175a8324-015b-4856-abe3-ce6f23199fa7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/podium%20campsie.png?VersionId=742UGwXFhFBX4GEl6wX4PYIWREAgn6il" />

Woods Bagot describes the tower as a key marker within Campsie's next phase of growth.

"Located directly opposite the new Campsie Metro Station on North Parade, 10 London Street is a thoughtfully composed 33-storey mixed-use tower that contributes to the ongoing transformation of the town centre," the Architectural Design Report states. The report says the project is intended to provide "high-quality homes within a vibrant, connected urban environment, while helping define Campsie's future skyline."

A strong emphasis has been placed on the public realm. The ground floor incorporates over 500 sqm of retail space and active frontages along both London Street and North Parade, while the podium is wrapped by extensive landscaped planting intended to soften the building's scale and strengthen the pedestrian experience. The development would also widen surrounding footpaths and improve connections between the Metro station and the broader town centre.

Above the podium, residents would have access to more than 1,400 sqm of communal amenities, including a pool, gym and landscaped recreation spaces. A distinctive green-wall treatment extending across four podium levels forms a major architectural feature, helping differentiate the project within the emerging high-density precinct.

The tower's design is closely tied to the broader Campsie Town Centre Master Plan and the arrival of Sydney Metro. The Urban Design Report notes the proposal "directly supports the Campsie Town Centre Master Plan by delivering new homes in a location explicitly identified for growth, improved accessibility, and high-quality urban renewal." It adds that the project contributes to the master plan's vision for a strengthened town centre supported by thousands of new homes around the future Metro station.

The application follows Arada Australia's recently lodged One Campsie project at 124–142 Beamish Street and 16–18 Ninth Avenue, where the developer is seeking approval for 346 apartments across three towers rising 24, 32 and 39 storeys. Together, the two proposals would cement Arada Australia as one of the most influential developers shaping Campsie's future urban form.

Arada Australia entered the Australian market in 2024 and has rapidly assembled a significant development pipeline across Sydney. Alongside its Campsie holdings, the developer is soon to launch <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/wattle-green-2-fishburn-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Wattle Green</a> in Castle Hill, and has expanded its local operations following its acquisition of construction firm Roberts &amp; Co.

Located around 14 kilometres south-west of the Sydney CBD, the site sits at the centre of one of Sydney's fastest-changing middle-ring precincts. The Metro conversion of Campsie Station, combined with Canterbury-Bankstown Council's master planning framework, is driving significant residential intensification around Beamish Street and North Parade, with thousands of new homes expected over coming decades.
