- lawyer David Newman points out.
He’s representing the estranged wife of billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev — who made headlines earlier this year when he paid a record $88 million for a 6,700-square-foot New York pad for his daughter at 15 Central Park West.
The estranged wife says the Russian fertilizer king was not being accurate when claiming the apartment was for their daughter Ekaterina to live in while she attends school in <place><state>New York</state></place>.
“She does not attend school in <state><place>New York</place></state>,” Elena Rybolovleva said in papers filed yesterday in Manhattan Supreme Court. And if she did, said David Newman, she would stay in slightly more modest digs.

Quote of the week: What does a Russian billionaire want with New York's priciest apartment?

<html><body>
Point Piper retains its status as the priciest suburb in Australia, recording a $5.21 million median house price during 2011. It came from just the 14 houses, according to RP Data.
Tamarama came in as Australia’s second most expensive suburb, according RP Data research analyst Cameron Kusher.
He notes the number of suburbs with a median house or unit price of $1 million or more fell by 13.8% in 2011 compared with 2010.
A total of 194 suburbs across the country had a median house price of $1 million or more.
Kusher says that to be considered for the list of the top 10 most expensive, the suburb had to have at least 10 sales.
The results also showed that the number of suburbs on the list remains higher than in 2009, however it represented a drop of 31 suburbs on 2010.

During the past 10 years, the number of suburbs with a median house or unit price of $1 million or more has increased from just 43 suburbs nationally to a peak of 225 suburbs nationally in 2010.
Excluding Tasmania and the Northern Territory, each state or territory has at least one suburb.

<a title="Click to enlarge" rel="shadowbox" href="/images/stories/priceysuburbs2.gif"><img src="/images/stories/priceysuburbs2thumb.gif"></a>
Back in 2002, only New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory had suburbs with a median price of $1 million or more, with 91% of all suburbs located in New South Wales.
Only 59% of suburbs were in New South Wales this year.
According to Kusher, the results highlight the stronger value growth conditions outside of New South Wales over the past decade.

Point Piper retains its crown as Australia’s priciest suburb, but Toorak loses its mantle to Deepdene

Kerry Jones, the chatelaine of the castellated 56-room Darling Point mansion Swifts, has signalled she won’t succumb to the complaints of neighbours who want her to stop holding commercial and charity parties.
And she’s upped the ante, pointing out the 1.4-hectare grounds could accommodate about “eight high-rise home unit blocks”.
“We have tried to run it as a private home, with private parties occasionally, but it has caused this mass hysteria,” she says.
“It’s not working as a home.”
<img src="/images/stories/swifts1.jpg">
Council staff have recently collected evidence, including noise monitoring readings, photographs and videos of traffic accompanying social events at the Victorian Gothic home.
Lawyers have sought a written undertaking that no further events will be held without development consent, or Jones will face action in the Land and Environment Court.
“There is no doubt in our minds that events had been not of a scale that is not ordinarily associated with the use of a residential property,” Woollahra Council planning director Allan Coker told the Wentworth Courier. The articles was headlined "Jason Priestley party at Swifts the last straw for council."
<img src="/images/stories/swifts2.jpg">
It was 1994 when there was the last serious possibility of the grounds of Swifts being under redevelopment threat.
Its then mortgagee in possession, St George Bank, wanting to maximise its return on its $30 million exposure, considered townhouses being built along the historic estate's perimeter.
Swifts was built in 1880 for the Tooth brewing family, with the motto Perseverantia Palman Obtinebit (Perseverance Yields the Prize) cut into its facade. Its construction highlighted extraordinary self-made wealth. For most Sydney families, a cottage or terrace sufficed, but at Swifts the house took up 1,800 square metres, rivalling Government House in size and stature.
It was 1901 when Swifts was sold to the non-Catholic Resch family, who subsequently willed it to the Catholic Church in 1963 – when it was valued at £235,000 – with a 20-year ownership covenant.
<img src="/images/stories/swifts3.jpg">
Coincidently the Church took possession for use as the Archbishop's residence on the same day Archbishop Daniel Mannix died at Raheen, the stately Melbourne equivalent owned by the Pratt family. Cardinal Gilroy occupied Swifts until his death in 1977.
Periodically the chapel was used for weddings at the Archbishop's discretion – indeed Foreign Minister Bob Carr and wife Helena were married there in 1973. And presumably existing use rights have long lapsed for any conversion now into a wedding venue. 
After the 20-year ownership covenant lapsed, the Catholic Church listed the property for sale in 1986.
To the frustration of others, property investor Carl Spies, who enjoyed low-key links with Catholic charities, bought Swifts for his parents in an off-market deal through the late Richardson and Wrench doyen Ron Pillinger.
<img src="/images/stories/swifts4.jpg">
The 1.4-hectare estate sold in pre-boom 1986 by the Catholic Church for $9 million to Spies, a reclusive property investor who enjoyed a Howard Hughes-like reputation and kept the grounds locked during his ownership.
With Spies holding Swifts as the jewel in his extensive property portfolio – and reputedly knocking back a $38 million offer – his financiers readily increased their financial gearing before the property boom burst in the early 1990s.
<img src="/images/stories/swifts5.jpg">
Swifts remained in Spies' possession until Easter 1992 - and rang Title Tattle on his emotion-wrenched departure - and was dormant until 1997 when Doug and Greta Moran bought the property for about $10 million through estate agents Graeme Hennessey and Ken Jacobs.
The Morans, who ran Moran Health Care, prided themselves with the desire to improve Australia's heritage as well as look after its health. Doug Moran was full of pride when he showed Title Tattle through the house afterb its extensive restoration. 
In April 2011 two of the couple's children, <a href=""></a><a href=""></a>Shane Moran and his family of four children moved into Swifts, taking up residence along with sister, Kerry Jones. Kerry Jones and Shane Moran have equal shares in Swifts, said to be worth more than $60 million on today's market.
Their father, Doug died last November.

<img style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; float: left; margin: 5px;" src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg">Shoe designer Gary Castles has listed his radiant Whale Beach property (pictured below). He’s had the Malo Road property for three decades. It’s a-four bedroom house on a hillside 1,160-square-metre block that has an approved dual occupancy. There’s also approval for another level to the main residence that includes the addition of a three-car garage. David Edwards and Peter Robinson from LJ Hooker Palm Beach have the listing in conjunction with Ken Jacobs at Christies International. More than $7 million is being sought.

It’s Sydney’s highest known apartment sale this year. The official paperwork shows it cost $6.45 million in 2010. It first sold at $5.4 million in 2006 off the plan before its completion by Charter Hall, Babcock &amp; Brown and AMP Capital Investors. The sale was reported by Feldi Real Estate.

<img style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; float: left; margin: 5px;" src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg">Yet another high floor has been listed in Melbourne’s Eureka Tower (view from window pictured above). It’s the empty shell on the 85th floor. It’s been listed by two vendors, who’ve decided to offer their spaces as a combined 500-square-metre offering in the 2006 completed tower. One is Bruno Charlesworth, the France-based entertainment industry lawyer and movie producer. The other half is being sold by Melbourne businessman Alex Piccinini. The 85th-floor offering has been listed through  Richard Mackinnon and Sean Cussell  at Marshall White, who’ve been saying $5 million plus. It was previously listed at $7.5 million in 2009. <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/international/eureka-tower-penthouse-hoped-to-fetch-sky-high-price/2011083051361" target="_blank">Last August the entire 84th floor fitted out with four bedrooms and five bathrooms was listed</a> with $13 million plus hopes by Eureka's co-developers Tab and Eva Fried and the building’s architect Nonda Katsalidis through Cussell.

Their latest buy is a four-bedroom contemporary house (pictured above), which sold through McGrath agents Michael Coombs and Nicky L’Green for $3.9 million, having sold five years earlier at $4.07 million. The couple bought their redundant house for $3.85 million in 2009 and sold it for $4.35 million to Meian Sun and Zhi Tan. The Coffey's first home in Mosman cost $975,000 back in the late 1990s, Title Tattle seems to recollect.
<img style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; float: left; margin: 5px;" src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg">Having failed last year, Vivian King, the chairman of the CH Warman Group, and his wife, Wendy, have relisted their 3,268-square-metre Wahroonga estate. It’s been scheduled for April 14 auction. Last year it had been listed with price hopes of $8 million through agents Don MacLennan of Richardson and Wrench Lindfield and Tracey McDonald of Chadwick Real Estate. The Water Street property cost $6.1 million in 2002. Set in gardens designed by two landscape luminaries, Peter Fudge and Gordon Sykes, the circa-1905 Federation mansion has five bedrooms, a billiard room, study and multiple formal and informal living and dining areas. The grounds have lawns, a championship-size north-south tennis court and 12-metre heated pool.
Last year’s highest sale in Wahroonga was also on Water Street when Queensland-bound software entrepreneur Paul Phillips secured $6.9 million from tech company entrepreneur Dominic O'Hanlon. An Illoura Avenue property, Cedarbank, surrounded by rhododendrons on its 4,624-square-metre Wahroonga site, has been the suburb’s biggest sale settlement so far this year. Listed for sale with $6 million-plus expectations, it fetched $5.36 million when bought by the Wang family in January. The six-bedroom house last traded in 1993 when Susan Clare, wife of car dealer Robert Clare, sold the F. Glynn Gilling-designed house for $4.35 million in 2008 to Paul Greenhalgh, a former managing partner of Accenture's Asia/Pacific business strategy practice, and his wife, Annette. The Clares had paid $1.6 million in 1993 when it was bought from tie manufacturer David Klippel and his wife, Myra, who purchased it in 1957 for £23,000. The Illoura Avenue grounds come with a pool, tennis court and a self-contained, one-bedroom flat adjacent to the four-car garage.

It last traded at $9.1 million in 2007 when bought from head hunter David Dick and wife Sandra, so it represented a good test of Melbourne’s prestige market. Tim Picken and Scott Patterson at Kay and Burton haven’t revealed the sale price, but Title Tattle reckons its likely to have sold at around the realistic quote price of $8 million in quick time – within two days of offers being due earlier this month.

<img style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; float: left; margin: 5px;" src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg">Celebrity interior designer Tina Chalabian from Channel Ten show The Renovators has sold her Willoughby home pre-auction for a record price. It was on the market for about three weeks and sold to a family from Mosman, who were among the 160 inspectees. There were 72 inspectees on its first Saturday open. “While we can’t disclose the exact price, we can say it certainly eclipsed the previous suburb record of $2.855 million for a house in Chiltern Avenue,” selling agent Mark O’Brien from Richardson &amp; Wrench Castlecrag. “But it wasn’t beyond expectations, as we were quoting high $2 millions to low $3 millions.” Title Tattle gathers about $2,955,000 was secured for the Remuera Street house. The five-bedroom, four-bathroom house was just a few years old with a huge, level yard and European-style swimming pool. Built by Meadowbank to a <a href="https://www.tinac.com.au/">Tina C design</a>, it sits on a 911-square-metre block, which cost $1.18 million in 2006. The Chalabians, the 34-year-old interior designer and mother of three who appeared on The Renovators television series and her lawyer husband Sevag, are moving to Northbridge, where they will renovate their $2.2 million acquisition. Since Tina bought her first house 11 years ago, she has renovated five houses and says each sold for a profit. The one in Castlecrag sold for $2,525,000 in 2006 with the block costing $899,000 in 2002. The Killarney Heights property was a closer call having cost $525,000 in 2001 and sold for $610,000 in 2002.
<img style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; float: left; margin: 5px;" src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg">Title Tattle aims to tell its readers first – and if possible before the Radicalterrace blog – so the word from Bondi Beach is that Mark Blumberg has spent $4.75 million buying a two-apartment amalgamation in Pacific Terraces on Notts Avenue. Its a good buy at that price being 232 sq m internal space plus 62 sq m carparking. The units were consolidated in 1989 at a $1.15 million acquisition cost. The latest sale equates to $20,000 an internal square metre in the block where the top priced sale of $3.1 million was paid in 2010, equating to $27,000 an internal square metre. The late Kerry Packer helped finance the Pacific Terraces development by Bill Shipton in the early 1980s. Longtime Bondi Beach agent Ron Doff once recalled that initial sales were difficult. ``The apartments were Surfers Paradise-style, with overly ambitious asking prices,” he said. And there was a credit squeeze.

The Napoleon Perdis Makeup Academy has leased space on Queen Street, Woollahra.
It’s the former post office premises whose closure was shut down in controversial circumstances in early 2011 by Australia Post.

The Goodman Group's hopes for quick approval for its inner-city Sydney residential high-rise development site have been stymied.
It had been among the landowners who’ve nominated their land for special consideration by the NSW Department of Planning, but instead its prior approval for massive intensification has been overturned by the NSW Planning Minister Brad Hazzard.
His decision <a href=""></a>limits the site to nine storeys, down from the 19 storeys granted by the former Labor state government.
“Labor directed the City of Sydney Council in 2010 to increase height limits at the site from nine to 19 storeys and increase allowable residential floor space by nearly 60%,” Hazzard says.
“Last week I toured the site and came to the conclusion that a height limit of 19 storeys at this site is completely out of character with the nearby area.”
Goodman’s specific intentions aren’t fully known or revealed in <a href="https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=jzbGsUV9Qfk%3d&amp;tabid=561&amp;language=en-AU">the landowner-nominated sites on the department’s websites</a> but the decision has effectively halved any project with the difference amounting to 636 extra dwellings.
With each selling at, say, $700,000, about $445 million in potential revenue has been removed from the Goodman balance book. 
Goodman's holding includes a non-descript Erskineville industrial estate set on Mitchell Road between Erskineville Oval and Sydney Park, which has been the site of a long skirmish arising from the draft Sydney Local Environmental Plan.
The site was once headquarters of the Metters factory producing ovens and boilers. Its best-known brand was the 1930s Kooka range of gas cooking appliances.
It had an $81 million book value as at June.
<img src="/images/stories/goodman2.jpg">
Goodman’s <a href="https://media.corporate-ir.net/media_files/IROL/16/167466/Goodman_Group_direct_property_portfolio_2011.pdf">other land holdings</a> in South Sydney include its Alexandria industrial estate (pictured above).
The Metters site has long been subject to considerable government argy bargy as under the Keneally government, the NSW Planning Department demanded the City of Sydney double the site's permissible building heights.
Lord mayor Clover Moore and the council unsucessfully fought the push as they viewed it as a threat to Sydney City Council’s inner-city villages policy.
Other landlords viewed Goodman’s application as headlining a strategic battle that will shape future development density of all the industrial estates on the southern corridor from the city to the airport.
A lack of suitable transport infrastructure and seven day a week traffic congestion were factors in the minister's decision this week.
Lord Mayor Clover Moore recently previously said that Ashmore was the City’s second largest industrial area identified for urban renewal and offers a rare opportunity to create a sustainable new neighbourhood.
"We want to create a neighbourhood which includes the right infrastructure and sustainable design to improve the lives of current and future residents."
She said the City had been working with the community on the future redevelopment plans for the Ashmore precinct since 2007.
 "In 2010, the NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure directed the City to increase the density of the proposed redevelopment and raise height limits of two towers to 19 storeys.
 “We were very concerned about the Department’s new plans and undertook technical studies which showed the heights and density proposed by the Department of Planning would cause overshadowing of nearby properties and obscure views from Sydney Park,” the Lord Mayor said.
 She said residents thought the development focused on profit rather than sustainable urban design.
 “We will be lobbying the NSW Government to support our proposal, reduce their increases to the density and height limits and increase trains and bus services to better serve the needs of the local community, now and into the future.”
The Metters factory site dates to 1906, when the firm, established on Rundle Street in Adelaide in 1891 by Frederick Metters, moved from its small factory on Alice Street at Newtown. Metters stayed there until the early 1970s, about the time it was taken over by Email.
Greg Goodman is the founder and chief executive of Goodman Group, which ranked as one of the global high-flyers of the real estate sector before the global financial crisis.
Goodman bought the site in 1989 from the NSW State Authorities Superannuation Board for $19.2 million.
At the time it has a net annual rental of $2 million, reflecting an initial yield of about 10%.
Goodman's general manager is former Wallaby Jason Little, who has been with the group since 2003.
The site's tenants include Toll Priority and Ausdoc.
The entire Ashmore precinct has been identified for urban renewal since 1998. It covers 17 hectares.
Much of it still contains large industrial buildings surrounded by terraces from the late 1800s. Recent redevelopment in the precinct includes the Motto, Glo and Star Printery apartment complexes, which are mostly six storeys.
Denis O'Neil's nearby Sydney Park Village complex, built in the late 1990s, is of a similar height.
Moore has previously indicated that over the past seven years the council has put in much time and resources planning for the precinct's redevelopment.
It proposed three tall buildings of nine storeys at the centre of the precinct, with smaller apartment blocks totalling 2240 dwellings and 4,000 people. The department wants 2,876 dwellings with 5,200 people.
Moore says the council's work included technical studies to look at issues such as stormwater management, traffic, and transport, urban design and economic feasibility.
Under the latest state government initiative, sites will be reviewed on the basis of government-endorsed objectives with each site undergoing an initial assessment of adequacy. Councils are expected to be consulted and their views taken into account as part of the evaluation. The appropriate provision of services and infrastructure will form part of the assessment process.
A review committee, chaired by the Director-General of the Department of Premier and Cabinet, will make recommendations to the state government.

Kalimna, the grand 1881 Coburg mansionette, has been listed for sale.
The Italianate house with richness of details comes with a distinctive tower with a French mansard roof. Set on The Grove, the house was built for Montague Dare, who set about developing an ambitious estate with the promise of tennis court and pavillion and bowling rink.
It’s one of a pair, the other neighbouring maisonette being known as Koorali. 
Title Tattle recollects Dare was especially keen on giving the then Shire of Coburg <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/https://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/58433685?searchTerm=montague%20dare&amp;searchLimits=" target="_blank">a hurry along to get the drainage and lighting in the strip then known as Moreland Grove</a>. His estate demonstrates the speculative development associated with the land boom in Coburg just prior to the 1890s depression. The estate was halted by the depression. The pair is one of three proposed and two actually built, according to heritage websites.
The house was designed by Thomas Crouch, who began practising as an architect in Tasmania, but came to Melbourne for the 1850s gold rush.  Crouch was a founding member and secretary of the Victorian Institute of Architects and served as mayor of St Kilda in 1870-71.
Kalimna was later occupied by the Clare Grammar School. It had been divided into flats which were consolidated into a single dwelling in 1979. It hasnt been on the market for two decades or so. Additions were made in 1987, and the house underwent renovation in 1998. There’s dichromatic brickwork, lacework, a hand-carved staircase leading to five bedrooms. Offers close April 4 with Hocking Stuart agent John Sheldrick giving a $2 million price guide.

Last October the couple reputedly signed a contract to buy a double-fronted Paddington terrace from Susie Kelly, the co-founder and owner of Industrie clothing with her husband, Nick.
The Stewart Street house <a target="_blank" href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/residential/actor-toni-collette-and-muso-david-galafassi-fall-for-the-charms-of-contemporary-inner-city-paddington/2011110752250">was snapped at an undisclosed price </a>– but understood to be slightly more than $6 million quite early in its October marketing campaign by McGrath agent Ben Collier.
Designed by architectAnthony Gill and completed in 2009, the five-bedroom, four-bathroom house on a 360-square-metre block sold for a record for the southern side of Oxford Street, Paddington.
Consisting of two classic Victorian terraces combined into a palatial single residence, the contemporary tri-level family retreat had been reinvented after the merger of two terraces costing $2.15 million in 2003 and $1.865 million in 2005.
The entertainment industry couple's plans went awry after they struggled to find a buyer of their Bronte house.
Their 1885 Bronte weatherboard cottage that cost $4.4 million in mid-2009 had been tipped to sell for around $3.5 million through its McGrath Estate Agents listing agent Bethwyn Richards, but still struggled to find a buyer.
Collette and Galafassi are accused of changing their minds on the Paddington purchase when they instead bought back at Bronte reputedly from the buyer of their own house.
The Kellys bought on Kutti Beach at Vaucluse last March for $15.5 million.
Property lawyers said the Supreme Court could find the contract binding and the entertainment industry couple could be forced to pay any shortfall if the Paddington terrace resold at less than its last sale price.

Kate Aujard from Pulse Pharmacies has snapily sold her imposing Hawthorn residence.
With a tennis court in its 2,800-square-metre grounds, the five-bedroom, four-bathroom English-style house is set on Scotch Hill. It last traded at $9.1 million in 2007 when bought from head hunter David Dick and wife Sandra, so it represented a good test of Melbourne’s prestige market.
Tim Picken and Scott Patterson at Kay and Burton haven’t revealed the sale price, but Title Tattle reckons its likely to have sold at around the realistic quote price of $8 million in quick time – within two days of offers being due earlier this month.

ASX-listed developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/stockland">Stockland</a>&nbsp;is continuing its push back into the new apartment market, filing plans for a prominent gateway site between Collingwood and East Melbourne.

The development giant, which moved back into the new apartment space when it announced Stanton Place in Sydney's Rosebery and have since filed plans for a 50-storey tower, are jumping into the off the plan Melbourne market.

They are hoping to create a mixed-use neighbourhood precinct for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/79-81-victoria-parade-collingwood-vic-3066">79-81 Victoria Parade</a>, replacing an existing commercial building with a scheme by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/john-wardle-architects">Wardle</a>&nbsp;for 478 apartments,&nbsp;ground-floor retail, new public open spaces and a publicly accessible pedestrian laneway.

<img alt="First look: Stockland plans new mixed-use neighbourhood precinct for Collingwood gateway site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="72dbbca9-3918-4073-afad-a0c0c35be8e7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/stockland%20pers.png?VersionId=bzMVUKKxvwuNK1m0v_td126Rgct32uk_" />

The design report identifies the public realm as a central driver of the proposal.

"Collingwood has limited access to high-quality parks and public open space, and the proposal delivers valuable new areas for respite, social interaction and fine-grain retail activity."

The development would deliver a diverse mix of housing, including studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments alongside townhouse-style residences. Two basement levels are proposed beneath the development, providing resident and retail parking as well as extensive bicycle facilities.

Wardle's design draws heavily on Collingwood's industrial character, using articulated building forms, brickwork and robust materials inspired by the suburb's warehouse and manufacturing heritage. The built form has been broken into a series of smaller volumes to better respond to the surrounding streetscape while extensive communal gardens, rooftop amenities and shared resident spaces are integrated throughout the project.

The planning documents describe the existing office building as offering little engagement with the public realm, with the redevelopment intended to create a more permeable and active neighbourhood destination.

"The proposed scheme presents a significant opportunity to deliver a vibrant retail plaza and a local neighbourhood hub serving both existing and future Collingwood residents."

The 79–81 Victoria Parade site occupies a strategic location about 1.5 kilometres east of Melbourne's CBD, at the threshold between Collingwood and East Melbourne. It is well served by tram services along Victoria Parade and sits within walking distance of St Vincent's Hospital, Fitzroy Gardens, the Fitzroy activity centre and a broad range of employment, retail and hospitality destinations.

Stockland plans new mixed-use neighbourhood precinct for Collingwood gateway site

An 1880s timber cottage that has survived Kangaroo Point's transformation from riverside suburb to high-density apartment precinct is set to become the centrepiece of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/zephyr">Zephyr Group</a>'s proposed Banksia development.

Rather than see the locally heritage-listed Alpha Cottage as an obstacle to navigate, plans integrate the landmark home into a new 18-storey residential tower, giving one of the suburb's oldest surviving residences a new role as the project's communal hub.

The development application covers a 1,177 sqm amalgamated site at 127-133 Lambert Street and 30 Shafston Avenue, where Zephyr Group plans to deliver 64 apartments above three basement levels. Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/joe-adsett-architects">Joe Adsett Architects</a>, the proposal carefully weaves the retained heritage cottage into a contemporary residential scheme, with the tower elevated above the historic building to preserve its presence within the Lambert Street streetscape.

<img alt="First look: Zephyr Group's Banksia to wrap new Kangaroo Point tower around 1880s Alpha Cottage" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f9dc5bdb-d691-4c60-bf2b-c3ed405a3e75" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Banksia.png?VersionId=Jh4bjlewU.o8HXWt0V4KaFA_lPcF7KWM" />

Named after the native Australian Banksia flower, the project draws inspiration from its distinctive form through curved balconies, sculpted planter boxes and cascading subtropical landscaping that soften the building's profile.

As the design report explains: "The tower's identity is defined by its feature facade, drawing direct inspiration from the Banksia wildflower. The building departs from traditional rigidity through the use of elegant, GRC-moulded planter boxes that appear as if shaped by the breeze."

Plans propose 64 apartments, comprising 32 two-bedroom and 32 three-bedroom residences, across an 18-storey tower. Residents would have access to rooftop amenities including a swimming pool, spa, gym, sauna, private cinema, dining spaces and landscaped recreation areas, while more than half the site is dedicated to planting and open space.

<img alt="First look: Zephyr Group's Banksia to wrap new Kangaroo Point tower around 1880s Alpha Cottage" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="16041b5f-033e-47fa-8fbe-9886e072c1f2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/pool.png?VersionId=kpx5w4EbLx0_TdWfDoD1vrSs0_cZ5Ao1" />

The heritage component is the defining feature of the proposal. Constructed in the early 1880s and occupied from at least 1883, Alpha Cottage is recognised by Brisbane City Council as an important surviving example of Kangaroo Point's nineteenth-century residential development and as a representative transverse-gable timber cottage. Despite extensive redevelopment across the peninsula, the building has retained a high degree of its original form and internal fabric.

As part of the redevelopment, the cottage will be carefully relocated a short distance within its original allotment to facilitate construction before being returned to a prominent position along Lambert Street. Original verandah elements will be dismantled, catalogued and reinstated, while significant internal features, including timber flooring, wall linings, joinery, doors, windows and hardware, will be retained. Later additions, including the enclosed rear verandah, will be removed to better reveal the building's original form.

Once restored, Alpha Cottage will accommodate the building manager's office, mail room and parcel facilities, providing an active everyday use that supports its long-term conservation rather than preserving it as a static display. The heritage strategy also maintains landscaped space around the building, allowing it to remain visually distinct beneath the new tower.

The Heritage Impact Assessment concludes that "the proposal secures the ongoing occupation, maintenance and conservation of Alpha Cottage," finding the development would result in "no more than a minor impact on the cultural heritage significance" of the building while ensuring its long-term future.

Joe Adsett Architects have designed the tower to sit above the heritage building rather than overwhelm it, creating a clear visual separation between old and new. The development's flowing balconies, integrated planting and organic façade respond to Brisbane's subtropical climate while complementing the restored cottage below.

Banksia occupies a prominent corner in Kangaroo Point within walking distance of the Kangaroo Point Bridge, Brisbane River, ferry services, QUT, the CBD and the Woolloongabba precinct. The site also benefits from direct access to active transport infrastructure and sits within an area earmarked for continued higher-density residential growth.

Buying into a masterplanned community often means committing to a vision still years from taking shape. At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a>, that vision is already visible.

Residents have moved into the completed first stage, landscaped spaces are established, and the next chapter is now underway. Stage 1 has been completed and settled, with Stage 2 now selling off-the-plan.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/pbd-architects">PBD Architects</a>, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a> combines attainable apartment living with sustainability initiatives rarely seen at this price point, including rooftop solar, battery storage and a resident EV-sharing program.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6RNt3AvtBpI?si=JUhuCV2ZRXsYaoJZ" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

Located on Schofi​elds Road, just moments from Tal​lawong Metro Station and Schof​ields Train Station, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a> has been designed to appeal to a broad mix of buyers, from first-home purchasers looking for a foothold in Sy​dney's property market to downsizers seeking a connected, low-maintenance lifestyle.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a> has been conceived as a thoughtfully planned masterplanned community that will evolve over multiple stages, with buyers now able to secure one, two and three-bedroom apartments within a neighbourhood that is already beginning to establish its identity.

One of the project's defining features is its focus on sustainability. Solar energy systems, battery storage and future EV charging infrastructure have been incorporated throughout the development, reflecting a long-term approach to both environmental performance and everyday convenience.

Sustainability sits at the centre of the development's vision, with solar energy systems, battery storage and future EV charging infrastructure integrated throughout the community.

That emphasis on future-ready living extends beyond the technology. Landscaped communal gardens, outdoor gathering spaces and plans for a future retail precinct aim to create a neighbourhood where residents can access daily conveniences without travelling far from home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149637 project_image_fid=351027]

The apartments themselves have been designed with liveability front of mind. Rather than chasing maximum density, the focus has been placed on creating practical homes with generous natural light, usable layouts and strong connections to outdoor space.

Importantly, these design principles have been applied consistently across the one, two and three-bedroom apartment offerings.

The appeal of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a> is also closely linked to its location within Syd​ney's rapidly evolving north-west growth corridor. Over the past decade, major infrastructure investment has transformed the area, with new transport links, business precincts and community facilities reshaping suburbs like Talla​wong and Schofiel​ds.

The agent says buyers are increasingly recognising the area's long-term potential.

"Typical buyers that we're finding across <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a> especially are your first-home buyers, your investors, your upsizers as well as your downsizers," Hawes says.

Connectivity remains one of the project's strongest drawcards. Residents have access to both Tallaw​ong Metro Station and Schofi​elds Train Station, providing links to the Sydn​ey CBD, Norw​est Business Park, Macquari​e Park and other major employment hubs. Retail centres including Rous​e Hill Town Centre and Sch​ofields Village are also nearby, alongside schools, parks and future healthcare infrastructure.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149637 project_image_fid=351031]

For Stage 1 resident Roji, it is the balance between convenience and comfort that has defined the experience of living at Kew.

"For me, it's a balance of quality and convenience," she says. "Everything I need is right here."

"If I wanted to catch the train, Scho​fields Station is just around the corner. Tallaw​ong Metro connects me to the city."

More importantly, she says, the development has delivered something that cannot be measured in floorplans or specifications.

"<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a> feels like home."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149637 project_image_fid=351024]

As Stage 2 enters the market, that lived experience may be one of the project's strongest selling points. Buyers are not purchasing into an untested concept or a future promise. They are joining a community that is already taking shape.

Ongoing investment in transport, retail, healthcare and public open space continues to strengthen the appeal of Syd​ney's north-west growth corridor, while <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a>'s established first stage provides buyers with a tangible sense of the community's future direction.

For a limited time, buyer can secure a new home at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a> with just a $10,000.

Kew Tallawong: A growing community taking shape in Sydney's north-west

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/freecity">Freecity</a> has received development approval for its 51-storey mixed-use tower at 153-157 Walker Street, North Sydney, set to be one of the tallest mixed-use residential-led buildings in one of Sydney’s most sought-after commercial and residential addresses.

Lodged as a State Significant Development Application (SSDA) through the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA) pathway and approved by the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure following a comprehensive public exhibition and submissions process, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/153-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">the project</a> will deliver 296 apartments, alongside a 170-room, luxury hotel, activated retail and significant public domain improvements.

Situated just 200 metres from Victoria Cross Metro Station, on one of the largest developable sites in North Sydney, the development will rise to 234 metres, making it one of the tallest buildings in the suburb. With an end value of approximately $1.5 billion, the project responds directly to the NSW Government’s mandate to accelerate housing delivery in well-located, transit-connected areas.

<img alt="Freecity gets green light for mixed-use residential and hotel tower in North Sydney" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="192ec455-94bf-4e01-83ef-922b1b269d67" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Freecity%20-%20Walker%20Street%20North%20Sydney%201%20RESIZED%20.jpg?VersionId=Bzqp0SBHCDvLAHjA4QXkjuGoOEIh73Jl" />

The apartment mix will cater to a broad range of buyers, with 65 studio and one-bedroom apartments, 139 two-bedroom residences, 35 three-bedroom apartments, 48 four-bedroom homes, and nine penthouses. Residents will have access to a dedicated amenity level on Level 33, featuring a swimming pool with views towards the Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and North Sydney CBD, as well as a gym, library, shared kitchen, lounge and outdoor entertaining areas.

The hotel will occupy the lower six levels of the building and include meeting and function spaces, a wellness centre with gym, yoga studio, swimming pool and sauna, further strengthening North Sydney's growing hospitality offering.

At ground level, the development has been designed to improve pedestrian connections through the precinct. More than 700 sqm of retail space will activate the street frontage, while a landscaped through-site link connecting Walker Street, Little Walker Street and Doris Fitton Park will provide new public open space with seating, paving and extensive native landscaping.

Freecity Group Co-Founder and Joint CEO Tony Sun said the project represents one of the most significant development opportunities currently available in North Sydney.

"This is one of the most significant development sites in North Sydney and it comes at a pivotal moment for the precinct," Sun said.

"North Sydney is undergoing a genuine transformation, and this project will contribute housing the city urgently needs while creating a landmark destination."

Executive Director of Development Michael Romano said demand for both residential and hotel accommodation would continue to strengthen as the Metro precinct matures.

"The structural demand for high-quality housing and hotel accommodation in North Sydney is compelling, and will only grow as the precinct continues to evolve around the new Metro station," Romano said.

Architectus has designed the tower, orientating the apartments to maximise views towards Sydney Harbour while introducing a sculpted façade intended to respond to light, wind and the surrounding skyline.

Architectus Principal Marko Damic said the design sought to create a tower that contributes to the public realm as much as the skyline.

"We wanted to design a tower that doesn't just sit in the skyline but actively participates and contributes to city life," Damic said.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/perifa">PERIFA</a> have celebrated the topping out of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-harbourfront-precinct-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf,</a> marking a significant milestone in the delivery of one of Syd​ney's most anticipated waterfront communities.

Located on Sydney's harbourfront at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/putney-nsw-2112">Putney</a>, the project has now reached its highest structural point, with construction progressing strongly towards completion in 2027. 
&nbsp; 
The milestone was celebrated on-site with project partners Phoenix Property Investors, Mitsubishi Estate Asia, Versatile Construction, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, consultants and stakeholders, to recognise the collective effort behind the transformation of the historic waterfront site into a vibrant new residential, marina and lifestyle destination.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362240] 
&nbsp; 
<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-harbourfront-precinct-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf</a> will deliver a mix of waterfront residences and terraces, complemented by a private 36-berth marina, waterfront dining opportunities and a revitalised foreshore designed to reconnect the community with the river's edge. 
&nbsp; 
Abadeen Executive Chairman and Founder Justin Brown said the project represented a rare opportunity to create the next chapter in Sydn​ey's long history of successful waterfront precincts. 
&nbsp; 
"Throughout Sydney, some of the city's most sought-after addresses have emerged from carefully considered waterfront precincts such as Woolloom​ooloo Wharf, Walsh Bay and Breakfast Point," Brown said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362566] 
&nbsp; 
"What makes these places so successful is that they become much more than residential developments," Brown said.

"They bring together homes, hospitality, marina facilities, public spaces and a strong sense of community in locations where future supply is incredibly limited."

Brown has long described absolute waterfront land in Sy​dney as "finite."

"Once these opportunities are developed, they are rarely replicated. That's why Syd​ney's waterfront precincts have consistently demonstrated strong demand and long-term value growth over many decades. 
&nbsp; 
"<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-harbourfront-precinct-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf</a> is one of the few remaining opportunities to secure a residence within a masterplanned waterfront community that combines direct water access, marina ownership opportunities and a genuine village lifestyle just moments from the Sy​dney CBD."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362564] 
&nbsp; 
PERIFA Founder and Managing Director Fabrizio Perilli said the project reflected a shared commitment to delivering exceptional places that create long-term value for residents and the broader community. 
&nbsp; 
"The topping out milestone is a significant achievement for the Versatile Group and a testament to the collaboration between all project partners, consultants and contractors involved," Perilli said. 
&nbsp; 
"Beyond the residences themselves, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-harbourfront-precinct-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf</a> will establish a new waterfront destination that celebrates the history, character and lifestyle of this unique location while creating a lasting legacy for future generations."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=291195] 
&nbsp; 
Construction is being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/versatile">Versatile Construction</a>, with structural works now substantially complete across the precinct. Attention will progressively shift to the construction of the waterview terraces, apartment façades, services and interior fit-out works over the coming months. 
&nbsp; 
With limited residences and marina berths remaining, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-harbourfront-precinct-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf</a> continues to attract strong interest from owner occupiers and downsizers seeking a premium waterfront lifestyle within close proximity to Putne​y Village, Rh​odes, Top Ry​de and the Syd​ney CBD. 
&nbsp; 
As one of the last opportunities to secure a residence within a new masterplanned waterfront community on Sy​dney Harbour, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-harbourfront-precinct-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf</a> is expected to remain a highly sought-after address for years to come.
