There’s apparently a new addition for sightseeing Chinese tourists when they visit Sydney.
Not just cuddly koalas and the Opera House – they have added driving along Wolseley Road, Point Piper for a glimpse of the $32.4 million property owned by a son of a former vice-president of China, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
Set high on a hill, above a towering sandstone wall and overlooking Sydney Harbour with picture postcard-perfect views of the bridge, Craig-y-Mor, the Point Piper non-waterfront residence, is owned by Zeng Wei and his wife, Jiang Mei.
The 2008 purchase was made just in the name of Jiang Mei. Quietly during 2009, the name of the Wei Zeng was subsequently added to the title.

Architect's impression: Gergely &amp; Pinter Architects
By late 2009 the couple were seeking its demolition, to be replaced by a $5 million new home (architect's impression above), so they were both named for the first time in the much anticipated end-of-year Sydney Morning Herald Title Deeds Christmas party column.
It quickly sparked speculation in Chinese internet chatrooms.
“??????Sydney Morning Herald 2009 December 12-13 weekend edition??????2009?12?12??13?????????????Domain House?????2H????Title Deeds????????????Jonathan-Chancellor???????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????? “It was the talk of the party. Craig-y-Mor, the Point Piper non-waterfront residence, is set to be bulldozed by its $32.4 million buyers, Mei Jiang and Wei Zeng.” ?????? ???google??????????????????????????????????????????????google????????????????????????????? ??????Title Deeds???????3240???????????????????????????????????????????“It will be the priciest knockdown in Sydney’s history”) ??????Gergely &amp; Pinter Architects ????????Woollahra Council??????????????Woollahra??????????????????????Point Piper ?????????????????? ????????Wolseley Rd, Point Piper NSW.” (translation from Google Translate below)
Despite their names being published in an incorrect order and the restrictions on Baidu, the Chinese internet search engine, the web was soon alive with chatter linking Wei to his father, Zeng Qinghong, the former vice-president of the People's Republic of China between 2003 and 2008, and once one of the most powerful men in the Chinese Communist Party. Jiang was noted for studying at the Beijing Dance Academy and, following a stint in television at the Chinese property developer Renhe Group.
In April 2010, the Fairfax press published confirmatory details noting (in correct order) businessman Zeng Wei, and his wife, Jiang Mei, were examples of the opportunities open to foreign investors in the right visa class.
“Mr Wei's father, Zeng Qinghong, was vice-president of China between 2003 and 2008 and the fifth-ranking member in the Politburo Standing Committee,” the SMH and The Age report noted.
“In 2008, the couple paid $32.4 million for Craig-y-Mor in Point Piper, the third-most expensive house ever sold in Australia.
“The purchase was made after he obtained a business migration visa the year before.
“The grand 1920s house with renovations by Professor Leslie Wilkinson was initially bought just in his wife's name, as was an earlier acquisition - a $1 million apartment in the World Tower block in Liverpool Street in the CBD in 2005.
“The couple's application to demolish the house and replace it with a new $4.95 million home is being reviewed by Woollahra Council, which is seeking heritage advice,” it reported in an article by then property editors Jonathan Chancellor and Marika Dobbin.
The couple won planning approval on Christmas Eve 2010.
They currently have lodged an amendment seeking modifications for an extra tunnel excavation this one to provide access to the pool and gym area.
The WSJ noted the elder Zeng, long the right-hand man to former President Jiang Zemin, was a member of China's peak political body, the Politburo Standing Committee, for five years and before that headed the powerful Organisation Department, which is responsible for deciding who gets which political posts.
The report goes on to note the source of his son and daughter-in-law's fortune was “unclear.
Both Jiang and Zeng are also directors of an Australia-registered company called Fruit Master International Ltd. Public documents don't disclose what the company does, and its accountant declined to comment to the WSJ.
The company's four other board members include one of China's richest men, Renhe Chairman Dai Yongge, his wife and his sister, Xiuli Hawken, with whom he helped to found Renhe. Hawken, now a UK resident, has been ranked by Forbes as the 15th-richest person in the UK, worth $2.2 billion.

With less than four weeks left until Christmas, east coast holiday destinations are busily preparing for an influx of summer holidaymakers, with many areas experiencing close to 100% occupancy rates on vacation properties, according to the Raine &amp; Horne coastal offices.
In Yamba, on the NSW north coast, the height of the summer holiday rush is expected in the first week of 2012, says Denise Jillett, Principal of Raine &amp; Horne Yamba.
“We have 100% occupancy on our holiday homes between New Year’s Eve and the end of the first week in January, and only a 1% vacancy rate between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve,” Jillett says.
“Even the second week in January is very tight, and it is not until the second half of January that we have more availability.”
More than 50% of the area’s holidaymakers are coming from south-east Queensland, says Jillett, with many renting waterfront homes for up to $2,500 a week.
“Some of these properties can fit two families, which is a great way to share costs, but we also have cheaper holiday properties renting for around $950 a week.”
Jillett says Raine &amp; Horne Yamba is now seeking additional listings to cater for the high holiday demand, and suggests it can be a good way for home owners to pay for a holiday of their own.
“Yamba home owners who are open to the idea of letting out their home over Christmas can earn a few thousand dollars, which effectively means they can pay for their own holiday.”
Buyers who are looking at purchasing in the tightly held Yamba market can secure three-bedroom entry-level waterfront homes, including a boat mooring and jetty, for prices between $730,000 and $750,000, adds Jillett.
“We even have two-bedroom, two-bathroom units with ocean views for prices in the mid-$400,000s,” she notes.

The former home of one of Australia's greatest prime ministers, John Curtin, sold for $710,000 at weekend auction.
<img src="/images/stories/curtinauction.jpg">
The 1906 Brunswick weatherboard came with $600,000-plus pre-auction estimates. Bidding commenced on a $600,000 vendor bid and then another at $610,000 at the auction (pictured above). The opening bidder at $620,000 secured the property, beating off three other potential buyers.
“I think I’d better grab my nervous wife from the car,” the buyer said before being ushered inside to sign the paperwork by W.B. Simpson &amp; Son's Syd Sherrin and Tim Maher.
Curtin lived in the double-fronted Fallon Street from 1912 to 1915, when in his late 20s he was the secretary of the Victorian Timber Workers Union and an organiser for the Australian Workers Union.
He stood unsuccessfully for his first parliamentary election, a state seat, in 1914.
It was the Fallon Street home Curtin returned to after spending a few days in jail in 1914 for protesting against conscription during World War I.
He was elected to Federal Parliament in 1928, became prime minister in 1941 and steered the country through the World War II years until his death in 1945 of a heart attack shortly before peace was declared.
The unrenovated house – which has heritage demolition restrictions – <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/victoria/john-curtin-s-melbourne-home-on-the-market-for-first-time-since-1921/2011111652397" target="_blank">has been owned by the McAnally family since 1921</a>, so many of its original period features remain.
It sits on a 463-square-metre block and is of aesthetic significance given the timber ashlar villa comes with fine detailing including the central pediment to the veranda, intact cast iron lacework and paired elongated double-hung sash windows.
It has a hipped painted corrugated iron roof return and a bullnose veranda.
It has red brick chimneys with rendered caps and plinths and paired brackets under the eave line.
The veranda has turned timber veranda posts.
It was a six-room house during Curtin’s rental.
The Creswick-born politician subsequently moved to Brunswick Road and in 1917 left Victoria for a new home with his wife, Elsie, in Western Australia.

Forbes magazine has taken a look at Warren Buffett to see what the simple-living billionaire investor pays in property taxes.
He’s lived in <a target="_blank" href="#content">the same house in Omaha, Nebraska</a> for a very long time and pays just $13,859 in annual property taxes.
Forbes did the research after Buffett drew lots of attention to himself a few months ago, saying he paid a very low rate of income taxes as well.
It was not too surprising that Bill Gates, the richest man in the U.S., who is worth $59 billion, has the highest property tax bill for his primary residence.
His home on Lake Washington in the high-end Seattle suburb of Medina, Washington, covering 6,131 square metres, had a 2011 property tax bill of $1.036 million.
Buffett kicked off the debate about the rich and taxes when <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/15/opinion/stop-coddling-the-super-rich?_r=2&amp;adxnnl=1&amp;adxnnlx=1313406012-LdFPV4bCgoJeCCLcFOOFEw">he wrote in the New York Times</a> in August that his federal tax bill was $6,938,744.
“That sounds like a lot of money,” he wrote.
“But what I paid was only 17.4% of my taxable income — and that’s actually a lower percentage than was paid by any of the other 20 people in our office.
“Their tax burdens ranged from 33% to 41% and averaged 36%,” Buffett wrote.
Buffett has lived in the same house in the central Dundee neighborhood of Omaha that he bought in 1958 for $31,500, according to Wikipedia. It is worth about $700,000.
Wikipedia also says he owns a $4 million house in Laguna Beach, California, but the Forbes survey just looked at the principal places of residence.

AFL chairman Mike Fitzpatrick has sold his home in Kew's prestigious Sackville Ward precinct, with the footy player-turned-businessman and his wife Helen Sykes off to South Yarra.
After the opening $2.8 million vendor bid, there was just the one bid of $2,825,000 at its weekend auction through Marshall White agent James Tostevin.
But it sold soon after at an undisclosed price. There had been $3 million plus hopes.
The former Blue, who captained Carlton to premiership victories in 1981 and 1982, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/victoria/afl-chairman-mike-fitzpatrick-spends-close-to-%249-million-in-south-yarra/2011062750616">spent about $9 million on a South Yarra house earlier this year</a>.
Fitzpatrick's two-storey, 1920s Kew house came with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, formal sitting and dining rooms, a study, a separate lounge and a family room that opens to a large deck on its 1,179-square-metre block.
Joshua Bong from James Buyer Advocates suggested it was a quiet auction.

Expatriate Australian billionaire Michael Hintze has spent some small change buying out a Boorowa neighbour for $1,133,000.
It’s the latest NSW property acquisition to his rapidly expanding east coast farming portfolio. Hintze's wealth has been estimated by Forbes magazine at $US1.4 billion in early 20111. Rare with his public pronouncements, Hintze has said he was not just looking for capital gain from the properties. He says he seeks solid returns on production.
The London-based hedge fund founder has amassed one of Australia’s fastest-growing farm portfolios, with acquisitions totalling about 50,000 hectares since 2007.
His private pension fund, MHPF, has spent about $142 million on the land and water purchases.
His latest 327 hectare acquisition, set between Young and Goulburn, was settled last month.
Hintze is the founder and senior investment officer of CQS Management, a London-based hedge fund with assets of $US10.5 billion.
MHPF has been described as "a newly diversified agricultural force taking shape in eastern Australia" by The Land's agricultural writer, Peter Austin. It now has made 15 acquisitions in NSW and recently added <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/news/sweet-deal-for-michael-hintze/2011060450346" target="_blank">two sugarcane farms in north Queensland</a>, which marked a shift away from its <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/rural/billionaire-michael-hintze-dons-cotton-in-wee-waa-rural-acquisition/2011092651682" target="_blank">weighting towards the southern NSW mixed farming of wool, prime lambs, cattle and winter cropping</a>.
The purchases have been driven by the view that rural land in Australia now represents good value in light of the strong global demand for “soft commodities”. A key strategy of the group has been to aggregate parcels of land where possible to achieve efficiencies of scale and cross-property synergies.
Hintze's buying spree began when he spent $12.5 million for a Breadalbane property in July 2007. Trained as an engineer, Hintze served in the Australian army and started his firm, CQS, in 1999. It is short for "Convertible and Quantitative Strategies". He is a well-known philanthropist, with beneficiaries including the University of Sydney.
His name has been in the British headlines for the past two months given his links to Conservative Party funding.

Former property tycoon Warren Anderson became homeless on Wednesday and bankrupt on Thursday.
Anderson has lost his battle to overturn his bankruptcy, the<a target="_blank" href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/residential/property-developer-warren-anderson-goes-quietly-this-time-departing-fernhill-after-three-decades/2011112452520"> day after he vacated Fernhill, his prized western Sydney rural estate</a>.

The Perth federal magistrate’s court rejected<a target="_blank" href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/western-australia/warren-anderson-seeks-to-overturn-bankruptcy-and-stay-put/2011081251141"> his request to have the bankruptcy annulled</a> after creditors owed more than $39 million blocked the attempt.

Magistrate Toni Lucev’s judgment suggested Anderson had not disclosed the full extent of his debts and had failed to co-operate with the bankruptcy trustee.

The Australian Financial Review noted it appeared Anderson had walked away from the bankruptcy proceedings as he failed to file a response to creditors and was unrepresented at the final hearing earlier this month.

According to court documents he claimed he had no income, no money in any bank accounts, no car and relied on family and friends for funding.

All luxury apartments in the recently completed Buckhurst block in Point Piper have now been sold.
<img src="/images/stories/buckhurst2.jpg">
The ELK development group secured $68 million in sales of  the six harbourfront Buckhurst Avenue apartments. The whole-floor units were designed by architect Alex Popov, with interiors by Ruth Levine Designs, following two years of construction. There was a choice of two colour palettes.
<img src="/images/stories/buckhurst3.jpg">
The Seven Shillings Beach holding cost $40 million in 2007 when it was bought from Western Australian mining family the Wrights.
The apartments have about 390 square metres of internal space, with an additional 30 square metres of wintergarden balcony terrace (with gas barbecues), which come with fully retractable glass doors. They have four bedrooms and four bathrooms, with the fourth bedroom designed as a home office. The main suites have harbour views. Some come with same-floor parking spaces for four cars.
<img src="/images/stories/buckhurst4.jpg">
The shared gardens at the water's edge come with cabana, gym, sauna and barbecue area. They sold through Ken Jacobs of Christie's International and Bill Malouf of LJ Hooker Double Bay, who begun the marketing with hopes of $35,000 per square metre for the units.
Buyers included architect Harold Finger and Graeme Kirk, from the Kirk Group printing company. The final apartment to sell was the garden apartment, which sold at an undisclosed $11 million plus.

It appears that Chauncey Gardner – from the 1979 film Being There – may have taken a job as RBA governor's Glenn Stevens' speechwriter.

No gardening references in his speech <a href="https://www.rba.gov.au/speeches/2011/sp-gov-241111">On the Use of Forecasts</a> to the Australian Business Economists annual dinner, but it was all about the weather - strong south-easterly winds bringing in moisture from the Tasman Sea; probability assessed as 30% of thunderstorms; rain and areas of low cloud; very strong winds and windshear near the ground, not to mention heavy rain or hail; and waiting for the storm to pass.

It transpires that the Reserve Bank governor does a bit of aviation in his spare time, and hence he’s a serious user of weather forecasts, he told the crowd of economic forecasters.

“Despite the criticism aimed at weather forecasters, the forecasts I have seen in use for aviation are generally pretty good. And the saying that economic forecasters are there to make weather forecasters look good has something going for it. Of course one big difference in economics is that some decisions based on forecasts may alter the outcomes – as in the case of economic policy decisions, or spending decisions by businesses and households – whereas our response to a weather forecast will not actually alter the weather. That factor makes economic forecasting more difficult than weather forecasting. Still, some aspects of the process of weather forecasting are valuable in the economic sphere.”

Stevens ended his insightfully disarming speech: “to those of you here who do not have to make forecasts, I hope you realise how fortunate you are! To those who do, I offer my sympathy – and best wishes for clear vision over the year ahead.”

<img src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 5px;">Boutique property developers Bob and Margaret Rose have sold what’s considered the best pied-a-terre in Australia. Using limestone from Western Australia, their three-bedroom, four-bathroom Point Piper harbourfront (pictured above and below), listed through Ken Jacobs from Christie's International in conjunction with LJ Hooker Double Bay agent Bill Malouf, was constructed seven years ago.
<img src="/images/stories/wanulla2.jpg">
The French Provincial-style house snugs closer to the harbour than neighbouring residences that are built behind the traditional building set-back.
<img src="/images/stories/wanulla3.jpg">
The Wunulla Road property sale price hasn’t been disclosed, but it’s understood to have fetched about $15 million for the couple, who are building at Darling Point. The north-westerly oriented 582-sq-metre holding comes with views from the Harbour Bridge across to Shark Island and north towards the Heads.
The block cost $5,594,000 in 2000. Its deep-water jetty is shared with the next-door Altona estate.
<img src="/images/stories/villadelmare.jpg">
Title Tattle would have thought the Roses’ house perfect for the downsizing executive headhunter Julia Ross, but apparently she won’t be buying until she sells her Point Piper non-waterfront Villa del Mare (picture above and below), the vast limestone hilltop palazzo on 1,508 square metres. Villa del Mare's $21.5 million non-waterfront price record when sold to Ross by Nati and Miki Stoliar in 2005 was bettered in 2008 when businessman Ben Tilley sold Craig-y-Mor, a neighbouring house on the non-waterfront side of Wolseley Road, for $32.4 million to Jiang Mei, the wife of Zeng Wei, the son of Zeng Qinghong, a former influential vice-president of China.
<img src="/images/stories/villadelmare2.jpg">
Now they say Ross wants more than $40 million through Ken Jacobs of Christie's International and LJ Hooker Double Bay's Bill Malouf. But the marketing campaign – overseen by the spin maestro Max Markson – got off to a shaky start when one local publication compared its envisaged $40 million plus pricing to the supposed $44 million sale of the nearby even more imposing Villa Veneto, which of course sits on the harbourfront, not the hill. Those in the know reckon Villa Veneto’s complicated secretive sale price documentation would show closer to $52 million, which would make Ross's hopes more attainable.

<img src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; float: left; margin: 5px;">Artists Patricia Piccinini and Peter Hennessey knocked back $790,000 when their 150-square-metre two-level apartment (pictured above) in the old MacRobertson chocolate factory in Fitzroy went to auction last weekend through Nelson Alexander agent Peter Stephens. The couple paid $410,000 in 2000 for the property. There had been a $780,000 vendor bid placed by Stephens, who was  quoting $780,000 to $850,000. It sold soon after auction at an undisclosed price. It was between 1993 and 1996 when the historic MacRobertson Chocolate factory warehouse, just off Smith Street’s shopping and entertainment precinct, was developed by Barcor Pty Ltd into warehouse shells.

The three-level palace is a glass, concrete and steel residence, standing on an 800-square-metre clifftop block overlooking Wedding Cake Island, designed by architect Renato D'Ettore for his sister Yolanda and brother-in-law Orazio Camuglia. Title Tattle recalls the house, laden with polished travertine marble, was a 10-year labour of love for Orazio, a former toy importer who gave up his business and took out his owner/builder licence to oversee its construction, completed in 1999. The house received a commendation in the NSW Institute of Architects' Wilkinson Award for 2000. Its international renown was enhanced when the late celebrity snapper Herb Ritts flew in to take photos of the then Hollywood couple Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman for their Eyes Wide Shut promotions at the property.

He’d previously been seeking more than $2 million for the property (pictured above). Beretta has been wholesome in his praise for the Sydney suburb, saying it was a really nice, quiet area that was safe and secure. Beretta, who comes from a family of plumbers, and his wife Rachel have been at the property since 2005 when they paid $1.47 million. More than $1.9 million is being sought through Piers van Hamburg at McGrath Estate Agents. It’s a single storey house on a 610-square-metre block.

Actor Toni Collette's historic Bronte home failed to find a taker at its weekend auction despite its price expectations being almost $1 million less that its $4.4 million last sale price. McGrath auctioneer Scott Kennedy-Green’s attempts to solicit a $3.5 million opening bid failed. It was passed in on a $3.5 million vendor bid.
The 1885 weatherboard cottage on a 750-square-metre block in Bronte Road cost $4.4 million in mid-2009. The couple, Collette and and her musician husband, David Galafassi, are selling their hillside house because the renovation rebuild costings defied property logic.
The rebuild construction tender quotes are understood to have tallied about $4 million, well above the official application with Waverley Council which suggested its revamp cost would be around $2.5 million.
Set privately above the high side of the street, the four-bedroom house is one of the last remnants of the original Bronte Estate.
Given the current top-end market conditions aren’t resplendent with sunshine, its McGrath Estate Agents listing agent Bethwyn Richards had given public estimates she expected the property to sell for about $3.5 million and that Collette and Galafassi were prepared to cop a $900,000 loss.
Before the auction Bethwyn Richards said  seven contracts had been issued.
"We've had more than 80 groups through, so we've been going OK," she added.

It’s one of three Bronte Road houses currently listed through McGrath. The couple have spent about $6 million in Paddington (pictured above).

No details yet, though it’s suggested it’s been secured in the Bishopscourt apartment complex.

<img src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; float: left; margin: 5px;">And don’t say that Title Tattle told you, but there are reputedly three keen parties looking at 1 Towers Road, Toorak (pictured above and below).  One Towers Road, Toorak, owned by former JPMorgan Australia chairman Brian Watson, has been listed with record-setting expectations. Set on more than 2,000 square metres, the six-bedroom house was once owned by businessman John Elliott.
<img src="/images/stories/towersrd3.jpg">
Its Kay and Burton listing agent Michael Gibson has told industry players he expects the house to attract more than $26 million and set a new Victorian record. Offers are due early next week. The empty-nester Watson family bought the Toorak property in 2001 for $11.1 million, a then record-setting price.

Artists Patricia Piccinini and Peter Hennessey get sweet deal selling in Fitzroy: Title Tattle

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.
