Lachlan and Sarah Murdoch's Le Manoir, the 1928 Bellevue Hill estate, is set to get an $11.6 million redevelopment.
The SJB architectural plans are currently on display at Woollahra Council.
It involves alterations and additions to the existing mansion plus a new pool and pool house. It includes "construction of a new garage with security access areas with subterranean access to the dwelling".
The Murdochs paid $23 million for the mansion in late 2009. They also spent $2.63 million on an adjoining property in 2010.
Set on a 4,097-square-metre battleaxe block, Le Manoir had previously traded at £26,000 in 1956 when bought by the French government from May McDonald, the New Caledonian-born widow of solicitor Roy McDonald, who was the founding president of the Hydroponic Society of Australia.
Woollahra Library records indicate its design for the McDonalds was by Copeman and Lemont after the land was hived off the 1919 Rocky Park subdivision undertaken by jeweller Melen Myers.
The sale by the French government ranked among the 1,700 properties listed for sale in posts across the world as it sought to reduce its debt burden after the global financial crisis.
<a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/new-south-wales/lachlan-and-sarah-murdoch-re-list-their-bronte-house/2011092251653">Lachlan Murdoch, the former Bronte-loving media tycoon, and his model wife, Sarah, have yet to sell their Bronte house.</a>
In the meantime they have a lease on Coolong, the Vaucluse beachfront residence of expats Ivan and Marina Ritossa.
It's the house the Murdochs wanted before they outbid nine other parties at the November 2009 auction of Le Manoir through Raine &amp; Horne Double Bay agent Michael Pallier.
Coolong set the Sydney residential record when the Allco founder David Coe secured $45 million from the Ritossa family in 2008.
The Sydney record is now held by Villa Veneto, which the Banks family sold for a reputed $53 million in August 2010 through LJ Hooker agent Bill Malouf.

Lachlan Murdoch calls in the renovators with $11.6 million plans for Bellevue Hill

<img style="float: left; margin: 5px;" src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg">Channel 7 Sunrise sports presenter Mark Beretta has listed his Mosman house (pictured above), presumably upgrading in the neighbourhood. He’s previously been effusive 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 $2 million is being sought through Piers van Hamburg at McGrath Estate Agents. It’s a charming single-storey house on a 610-square-metre block. The talk is they have spent about $2.8 million quite close by. Of course they join the contagion at Channel 7, where many on-air presenters are on the move.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/residential/larry-edmur-says-good-morning-to-breathtaking-cliff-top-property/2011090251402"> Larry Emdur</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/residential/title-tattle-chance-to-buy-one-of-the-100-best-homes-in-the-world/2011090251403">Tony Squires</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/residential/title-tattle-whispers-that-coal-miners-boring-into-nicole-kidman-s-nsw-rural-neighbourhood/2011102052022">Kylie Gillies</a> have been recent players in the market, and Simon Reeve had a shot last year in Coogee but Title Tattle doesn't recall it selling.

<img src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; float: left; margin: 5px;">Billilla, the 20-room Brighton mansion, (pictured above) is up for lease. The Halifax Street signature property has been owned by the Bayside City Council since 1973. It dates back to as early as 1872 when the site was first acquired by Sir Thomas Bent. Its wealthy ownerships included members of the Chirnside and Weatherly families.
Over recent times it been an art gallery and as a wedding venue given its magnificent gardens. In 2005 Xavier College entered into a 15-year lease of the property at a current annual rental of $70,000 plus GST and outgoings. Xavier has used Billilla until recently for its drama and arts streams but these activities have recently been consolidated to the school’s Kostka Hall Campus nearby in South Road.
Xavier has now appointed agents O’Callaghan Commercial in conjunction with Davie and Bancroft to seek a new tenancy for its remaining nine years to run. O'Callaghan Commercial agent David O’Callaghan and James Davie from Davie and Bancroft will take offers until December 12.
“But I want to make it clear that the Bayside Council as the owner of Billilla will seek out a low-impact future tenancy for approval that will respect the rich historic character of this impressive landmark building and use of its gardens as well being compatible with the adjoining residential precinct. “It will make the ultimate decision in the best interests of Billilla,” O’Callaghan says.

<img src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; float: left; margin: 5px;">Veteran broadcaster Tony Pilkington, who was inducted into the Commercial Radio Hall of Fame recently, has sold his Mosman home (pictured above) for $1,201,000. Pilkington bought the Cowles Road house for $1.3 million a year ago but is moving back to Adelaide to be with family. It sold through McGrath Neutral Bay/Mosman with a price guide of more than $1.2 million.

<img style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; float: left; margin: 5px;" src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg">Having last sold unrenovated for $4 million in 2008, Allowah, the 1881 Mosman sandstone mansion, has been listed for sale by the Robinson family. It sits on 1,200 square metres close to Curraghbeena Point. When last traded it was divided into five flats. Its LJ Hooker Mosman listing agent Geoff Smith says there’s been a meticulous reinvention of one of Mosman Bay's earliest homes. “It has created a truly exceptional family retreat with views over the tranquil harbour to the city skyline,” Smith says. Restored and recreated, the five-bedroom, five-bathroom house sits in Paul Bangay-designed gardens.
<img src="/images/stories/windmere.jpg">
<img src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; float: left; margin: 5px;">Windermere (pictured above), the sandstone Hunters Hill riverfront house on 3,000 square metres that was constructed in 1857 by early entrepreneur Jules Joubert, has been bought for $10.5 million by Lorraine Tarabay. It was sold on extended settlement terms by Warren and Catherine Fraser of Fraser's Motorcycles, who are off to The Residence on the edge of Hyde Park. Their apartment in the Residence on College Street cost about $6 million plus through CBRE agents Caroline Fagerlund and Ben Stewart. Windermere had been listed initially in March last year with $12 million-plus expectations through Bill Malouf of LJ Hooker Double Bay. The fine furniture maker Andrew Lenehan, who arrived from Ireland in the 1830s, was its second owner, buying it in 1867 for £900 after Joubert was briefly declared insolvent in 1866. It was later the home of architect Donald Crone, whose widow, Annelies Crone-Arbenz, sold it after 37 years of ownership for $4.4 million in 1998 to the Fraser family. A renovation in 2004 included a 460-square-metre wing designed by architect John Rose of Tanner and Associates. It was acclaimed as the best house for 2004 at the NSW HIA Housing Awards.
<img src="/images/stories/louisa.jpg">
<img style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; float: left; margin: 5px;" src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg">The Anchorage (pictured above), the imposing classic Italianate terrace Louisa Road Birchgrove house, remains listed for sale with $4.4 million hopes by the Lee family. It last sold in 1999 when offloaded for $1.72 million by entertainer Glenn Shorrock, the Little River Band former lead singer and his wife, Jo. The three-storey Victorian home was built in 1896 and renovated most recently in 2001.  They had lived in the restored house for about 17 years, about the same time he initially quit fronting the Little River Band in 1982. The four-bedroom waterfront, which features a rooftop widows walk, sits on a  409-square-metre block. It’s listed through Kate Lorden and Mark Bowis at Sarah Lorden Real Estate. The pricey strip’s most recent sale was when the Dusseldorp family sold through Danny Cobden at Cobden and Hayson. It had been listed recently at $4.85 million having been initially been listed in 2008 at $5.85 million through McGrath Estate Agents.
<img src="/images/stories/kinka.jpg">
<img src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; float: left; margin: 5px;">There were red faces at Domain this week, when the Fairfax-owned website had the grand Terrey Hills house now dubbed Symingtonia – which was the setting of The Biggest Loser series – as its featured home listed for sale at $11 million. Oops, they meant listed for rent at $11,000 a fortnight. It all came down to a simple misunderstanding between $11m and $11k. The house (pictured above) ranked as the highest recorded house price in Terrey Hills when $6.25 million was paid in 2005 by the company director Howard Symington. The Kinka Road property, once known as The White House given its four-column portico facade, was built by software developers Michael and Mani Martin on its 1.7 hectare site. The house has five bedrooms, guest quarters, indoor pool, elevator, 10 bathrooms and tennis and basketball court all monitored by 12 security cameras. It’s been listed for rent at around $6,000 a week through Nathan Mainhoff and Joanne Hagen from Crane Property. It was the home in the headlines recently when rented by radio broadcaster Kyle Sandilands. The sometime novated car leasing company director Symington now runs a pinball and amusement game leasing business.
<img style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; float: left; margin: 5px;" src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg">Title Tattle aims to tell you as soon as it happens – if not before – but some deals are tricky to track down. Especially the suggestion that after pocketing millions earlier this year from the sale of his Allied Medical Group, former GP Geoffrey Edelsten has forked out "millions" to buy a Dominican Republic resort and casino.  Edelsten and second wife Brynne reputedly exchanged contracts on the Playa Chiquita Resort and Casino, a small resort in the Caribbean, last month. Title Tattle seems to recall it being listed for a reputed $US400,000 some years ago.
Playa Chiquita (meaning small beach) is on the coast of Sosua and is one of two casinos in the region, although the Dominican Republic itself is a gaming sanctuary. Sounds suitably glamourous, but Title Tattle's Caribbean contact says its not and the Edelstens have yet to make a mark on the locals has they have in Melbourne.  "Yes, the hotel was sold, but I don't really know who bought it," says Alex Hernandez, the  broker/owner at Rabbit International Real Estate D.R. "The hotel doesn't work at all, so the new owner will have remodel at all, as it is completly destroyed."
"It will take the couple six months or a year to remodel the property and spend millions of dollars," he added. When Title Tattle rang the casino's number, it was the building crew who answered, so works of some sort are underway.
<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 the Murdoch family are obviously a little apprehensive even in Sydney. Lachlan Murdoch has finally lodged plans for his Bellevue Hill mansion redevelopment at  Le Manoir. Title Tattle notices it includes "construction of a new garage with security access areas with subterranean access to the dwelling". It must be a $10 million spend, although it's not immediately apparent. Of course James Packer's doing his Batcave-style security fortress set-up too out at Vaucluse, and that building contract could be four times dearer.

A funky East Lindfield 1950s timber-and-sandstone house was snapped up at auction last weekend at $1.38 million.
“It was a fine example of 1950s modernist architecture,” its Richardson &amp; Wrench selling agent Richard Patterson told the would-be buyers.
And there were five registered bidders, of whom three keenly pushed the sale price to $180,000 above its reserve.
Sitting in the highly sought-after East Lindfield area, this type of property is tightly held and rarely available. It last sold at $371,000 in 1992, also through Richardson &amp; Wrench. The home reminded some of a glamorous Peter Sellers set just needing the addition of a wet-edge pool.
<img src="/images/stories/annalinfield1.jpg">
Domain property editor Anna Anderson (pictured above) dressed appropriately to do her piece to camera when reviewing the property.
Everyone was thrilled an architect bought the property that loves the 1950s bones but will extend while keeping the flavour of the period.
With views across Garigal National park, the house has level indoor/outdoor space looking out the water view. Its features internal sandstone walls, floor-to-ceiling glass, along with slate and timber flooring.

Innisfallen Castle, the Castle Cove trophy home, has been listed for sale. It’s billed as an irreplaceable piece of history, ranking among Sydney and Australia’s most romantic residential castellated mansions.
<img src="/images/stories/innisfallen1.jpg">
The turreted Innisfallen, last sold in 1988 for $5.25 million, was only built in 1903 on the Castle Cove waterfront.
It’s been listed by Peter Montgomery, who also owns Fernleigh Castle in Rose Bay.
The landmark Gothic sandstone castle occupies 8,353 square metres of waterfront reserve land overlooking Middle Harbour.
It’s only had the two owners since it was held by the Willis family since construction until 1988.
It’s been listed with Ken Jacobs of Christies International with approved architects plans for substantial transformation of both the house and grounds.
<img src="/images/stories/innisfallen2.jpg">
An adjoining 1,289-square-metre property could also be incorporated into the sale if desired.
In 1987 the Minister for Environment and Planning, Bob Carr, ensured that no development would be allowed in the grounds.
After extensive lobbying from the state MP for Willoughby Peter Collins, plans to convert the 80-year-old castle into two units and build 12 townhouses in the grounds were deemed "excess”.
<img src="/images/stories/innisfallen3.jpg" style="margin: 5px;">
Innisfallen Castle was built for Henry Hastings Willis, who served in the first three Federal Parliaments. The castle was originally set on 21 hectares of land after being built with sandstone quarried on the estate. Interior decorations include plaster rosettes and leadlights depicting native flora. Its exterior architectural style is described as Federation with castellated Tudor.
In 1966 most of the land was sold off for a housing estate. The castle is classified by the National Trust, and in 1983 the Heritage Council placed an interim preservation order on the castle estate.

Rothesay, the very grand 1896 Victorian Italianate home in Bellevue Hill, was passed in at $12 million at its auction last night.
Ray White auctioneer James Keenan took just the one bid before passing the property in for private treaty negotiations.
In 1998 the founder and executive chairman of the St Hilliers group, Tim Casey, and his wife, Anne Marie, daughter of the legendary thoroughbred trainer Bart Cummings, bought Rothesay for $4,606,000 in 1998 from the Jagelman family.
Having since been extensively remodelled, Rothesay was listed with price hopes of more than $13 million.
The landmark five-bedroom Cranbrook Road mansion comes with separate self-contained staff quarters on its 2,008-square-metre block.
It’s undergone a revival with Thomas Hamel interiors and outside William Dangar landscaping.
It’s crowned by a classic Italianate turret with a sundrenched tower room.
The listing presented a rare opportunity to secure a landmark property of “true international stature,” says its Ray White Double Bay listing agent Craig Pontey.
“Rothesay is arguably Sydney's finest example of Italianate architecture,” its conjunctional Ray White agent Michael Finger adds.

Pricey apartments in the Goldfields House development site are being sold to multimillionaire Sydney buyers in a by-invitation-only marketing campaign. The coveted 25-storey Sydney property overlooking Circular Quay has some of the best views in town and has been mooted for a luxury residential redevelopment for the past few years.
It’s one of the oldest office blocks on Circular Quay. Property agents say the value of apartments in and around Circular Quay would be upwards of $34,000 per square metre.
Apartments overlooking the Opera House have sold for as much as $16 million.
<img src="/images/stories/onealfredinside.jpg">
The <a href="https://www.colliersvideo.com.au/emag/residential/onealfredstreet/" target="_blank">One Alfred Street, Circular Quay site</a> has been in Valad's development pipeline for some years. There have been delays, as Valad was among the harder-hit real estate investment trusts during the global financial crisis. The building is designed by Kerry Hill.
Before its takeover by the US firm Blackstone, Valad lodged a development application to redevelop Goldfields House into a $1 billion upmarket apartment block with new ground-floor retailing.
In 2008 the office tower faced the looming threat from developers wanting to turn key harbourside office skyscraper into luxury residential abodes.
Several buildings, including the Scullers Arms hotel, were demolished to make way for Goldfields House at 1 Alfred Street, which was designed by Peddle Thorp and Walker and completed in 1966.
The proposal has provisional approval from the NSW Heritage Council, given the works are within metres of the Tank Stream.
The Quay apartment block on Phillip Street was the first harbourfront residential venture following the slump in the city office market in the early 1980s.
But its developer, Trustees Executors, went into liquidation during the 1983 credit squeeze and John Lewis's Concrete Constructions took over the project.
There are now about 100 residential blocks throughout the city, up from 28 in 1994.
The Astor on Macquarie Street was Sydney's most prestigious high-rise block when it was completed in 1923.
<img src="/images/stories/alfred2.jpg">
Since the project received development approval in May from the state government, the One Alfred Street apartments have been quietly marketed to wealthy investors in Asia.
It compared the rarity of the offering to an original Ford GT40, a 19th-century Chateau d'Yquem or a 14th century Yuan dynasty vase.
The latest market campaign says One Alfred Street is a “once-in-a-generation opportunity.”  The viewing platform will be available on a strictly invitation-only basis from November 2011. 
In August it was reported that the <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/new-south-wales/luxe-london-developer-nick-candy-might-see-gold-fields-house-as-a-sweet-possibility/2011082451280" target="_blank">upmarket London developer Nick Candy, known for One Hyde Park, the world's glitziest apartment blocks in the well-heeled London suburb of Knightsbridge, met executives from US private equity giant at which the development was discussed.</a>
A Candy spokesperson has confirmed that he met Blackstone executives, but would not comment on "specific deals".
Previously local developers including Grocon, Lang Walker, Mirvac and Lend Lease had previously expressed an interest in joint venturing the site.
Valad bought it in 2006 for $274 million and sold a 40% stake to the Dutch pension fund APG in 2008.
In May, when Blackstone’s takeover offer was mooted, Valad said that the Sydney Local Environment Plan 2005 (Amendment No. 2), which was previously approved by the Sydney City Council, had been gazetted by the government.
''This enables Valad to pursue development approval for the redevelopment of Goldfields House,'' Valad's then acting chief executive Clem Salwin said.

Food guru Jamie Oliver’s new restaurant at leased premises in the Sydney CBD serves $12.50 plates of spaghetti bolognaise (entree size).
It’s dishing up to excited diners at the newly opened premises – on the ground floor and mezzanine level at 107 Pitt Street.
Landlord BlackRock Property Trust is getting $350,000 plus GST annually as the base rent. The fixed rate in annual rent reviews is 4%. There’s a 10-year option kicking in in 2021.
Pacific Restaurant Group director Adam Heathcote signed the lease.
It's the latest of high-profile restaurant openings, including David Chang's Momofuku Seiobo, which has an online booking service, Stefano Manfredi's Balla, Teage Ezard's Black by Ezard and Chase Kojima's Sokyo – all at the Star casino location. There’s also been the Westfield shopping centre tenants including Alessandro Pavoni's Spiedo,  David Tsirekas's Xanthi and Justin North's new Becasse.
Despite the big new openings restaurants have been closing their doors faster than new ones opening, according to industry head John Hart from Restaurant and Catering.
"There is quite a lot of consolidation going on," Hart told SMH reporter Kelsey Munro.
Noting a strong shift towards corporate ownership and away from independents, Hart says "unless you've got economy of scale behind a number of businesses, you really can't make a buck".
Jamie's Italian is owned by a listed company, the Pacific Restaurant Group, which also owns the Chophouse and three Kingsleys Steak and Crabhouse restaurants.
With more than 20 restaurants across the world Jamie's Italian is a global franchise.
According to CBRE agents James McNeill and Leif Olson, the arrival of the English restaurateur enhances the city's array of international eateries.
In its recent report on the NSW retail market, CBRE notes that the café, restaurant and takeaway subsector had achieved annual sales growth of 5.8% for the year to June 2011.
Commenting on his Sydney eatery on his website, Oliver says Australia has always been close to his heart since he first visited around a decade ago.
“I get a lot of wonderful tweets and emails from Australians who have eaten at Jamie’s Italians in the UK, so now to have a Jamie’s Italian open in Sydney is really special for me,” he says.

The Westfield Group has announced it has agreed to sell its 75% interest in the Broadmarsh shopping centre in Nottingham in the United Kingdom for £55 million (A$86 million), representing a premium to Westfield’s most recent £33.6 book value.
Westfield’s interest is being sold to Capital Shopping Centres and is subject to pre-emptive rights held by Westfield’s 25% joint venture partner in Broadmarsh, Possfund.
Broadmarsh (architect's impression above) was Westfield’s first acquisition in the UK in 2000.
While it was intended to redevelop the centre, the sale reflected an increased emphasis towards investment in larger, iconic centres such as Westfield London and Stratford City, adjacent to the site of the 2012 London Olympics.
It also announced it had entered into exclusive arrangements with the Whitgift Foundation (UK) to explore the potential redevelopment of a major retail centre at Croydon in south London.
Westfield and the Whitgift Foundation, the freehold owner of the Whitgift shopping centre, intend to work together to examine opportunities arising from the retail-led regeneration of the Croydon town centre with the same approach adopted in the development of Westfield London and Stratford City.
Croydon is in south London close to Gatwick Airport and serves the affluent trade areas of Surrey and Kent as well as parts of Hampshire, East Sussex and West Sussex.

The LJ Hooker Surry Hills office now under Fair Trading NSW investigation was a client of PaidOnExchange, the real estate industry company that turns pending estate agent sales commissions into cash.
Given the size of its advance, PaidOnExchange lodged a charge over the estate agency company, CBD Commercial, in July.
The office continues to trade under Fair Trading supervision. Its licensee has departed.
Since established in 2005, PaidOnExchange has marketed itself as a highly innovative industry option for cash flow funding situations without the red tape that banks traditionally demanded.
Its marketing suggests the typical six-week starvation period was able to be replaced, with estate agencies able to get a percentage of their pending commissions paid within four hours.
More than 1,000 agencies across Australia have taken up the company’s services since 2005.
“The essence of cash flow funding is simple; it represents the sale of invoices for completed services, in this case, commissions owing, to a third party, at a discount on the face value,” the website suggests.
“Having commissions owing converted to cash within four hours is a benefit that can’t be overstated,” it says.
The PaidOnExchange website suggests real estate can be a fickle business.
“All too often we witness a team performing at its peak for months on end, only to see it crash into obscurity seemingly overnight.
“Cash flow – or lack of it – is the killer.
“It’s caused the ruin of far too many real estate offices that, in every other aspect, had great prospects and a clean bill of health.
“Companies can, and do, simply starve to death while they wait for commissions to come in.
“At PaidOnExchange.com.au we recognised the real estate industry’s need for effective short-term financing, and done something about it.
“The solution is called PaidOnExchange.com.au, and it turns commissions owing into cash within 4 hours.
“With none of the red tape that banks traditionally demand, the six-week starvation period has finally been consigned to history.”

LJ Hooker Surry Hills office relied on advances to help cash flow

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.
