There’s a quiet patch of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hawthorn-vic-3122">Hawthorn</a>, between the bustle of Glenferrie Road and the curve of the Yarra, that rarely sees change, and even more rarely, new apartments. But that’s exactly where <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/pomeroy-pacific-quattro-corp">PQD</a> is planting Kooyongkoot: a deliberate, 18-residence answer to the question of what downsizers actually want.

“This is something this pocket of Hawthorn has never seen before,” says Fil Gacesa, head of sales at PQD. “<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kooyongkoot-hawthorn-1-kooyongkoot-road-hawthorn-vic-3122">Kooyongkoot</a> will deliver just 18 large-scale apartments in the heart of Hawthorn. It is the true definition of resort-style living.”

That scale is central to the story. It’s what allows for two dedicated lift cores, short corridors, and a generous lightcourt that draws natural ventilation and sunlight into every residence. It’s also what makes room for the sort of amenity usually confined to high-density towers: a fully equipped wellness centre with infrared and traditional saunas, yoga and pilates studio, cold therapy shower, and treatment room. There’s a golf simulator, car and dog wash stations, and extensive storage too, not bolted on, but baked in from the start.

But more than the checklist, it’s the design intent that carries weight. “This project has been many years in the making,” says Mark Pomeroy, Director of PQD. “Not just in planning, but in listening, to what our buyers and the local community are looking for”.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355289]

That listening shows up in the materials, oak floors, natural stone, V-ZUG appliances, and in how space is handled. Penthouses feature private rooftop terraces with pools. Terraces and garden residences embrace outdoor connection. Inside, the layouts skew large and open, geared for hosting, not just housing.

Architecturally, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>’s approach is grounded. There’s no reaching for spectacle here. Instead, the building offers a sculptural calm, anchored by landscaping from Eckersley Garden Architecture.&nbsp;

“We wanted to create spaces that feel expansive, serene, and meaningfully connected to daily life,” said founding partner Chris Stribley elsewhere.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355304]

That sentiment, calm, connection, echoes in the location itself. Kooyongkoot sits just a short stroll from Central Gardens, Fairview Park, and the Rivoli Cinema. Tram lines and schools are close, but the street is tucked, quiet, and leaf-lined.&nbsp;

“Residents of Kooyongkoot will be a short stroll from Fairview Park, Central Gardens, and the Glenferrie Road retail strip," Gacesa notes, "but you're also cocooned in this peaceful pocket behind extensive landscaping by Eckersley Garden Architecture.”

Kooyongkoot is set for completion in late 2026.

The project that said no to compromise: Inside Kooyongkoot, Hawthorn

When long-time Ivanhoe locals Graeme and Catherine, decided it was time to downsize, they weren’t necessarily in a rush.&nbsp;

Like many in their stage of life, they had started thinking about apartment living, but anticipated making the shift in two to three years.

That timeline changed when they visited <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/candela-ivanhoe-40-upper-heidelberg-road-ivanhoe">Candela</a>, a new boutique development by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/salter-brothers">Salter Brothers</a>. The project ticked all the boxes they were looking for: location, quality design, and long-term lifestyle benefits, which prompted them to bring their decision forward.

“It was the right place at the right time,” they said. “We knew immediately it ticked all the boxes, and we didn’t want to wait.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=358855]

Their decision to downsize was driven by a combination of practical needs and lifestyle considerations. Their existing home, while much loved, had become increasingly difficult to maintain. It spanned multiple levels, included extensive front and back gardens, and was starting to show the wear that comes with age.&nbsp;

They were looking for a more manageable lifestyle, one with less upkeep and more freedom. A brand-new apartment with no maintenance requirements and the ability to simply “lock up and leave” gave them peace of mind and a greater sense of control over their future.

Financially, the purchase made sense as well. The available stamp duty savings, strong price-to-value offering, and timing of the settlement suited their plans, making the transition smoother and more cost-effective. The apartment's design and inclusions further supported their choice.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357493]

The layout was both functional and flexible: three bedrooms, a butler’s pantry, a separate laundry, and a large open-plan living area. It gave them the freedom to host a family, accommodate guests, or set up a home office. The expansive balcony and elevated views added to the appeal, providing a sense of openness and connection to the outdoors.

“It just had a really good flow,” Catherine noted, something they found lacking in many other apartments they’d considered, particularly in the established market.

Candela’s boutique scale was another deciding factor. With a smaller number of residences and a top-floor penthouse position, the couple felt the development offered the privacy and space they were looking for, without feeling isolated.

“We liked that it wasn’t a huge development. It felt well-balanced, modern but still with a sense of community, not overwhelming,” they said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357508]

Equally important was the ability to remain in Ivanhoe, a suburb they know well and have deep roots in. After 46 years in the area, proximity to local parks, shops, and familiar faces mattered just as much as the apartment itself.

“We didn’t want to give up the community we’ve known for decades. Candela allowed us to upgrade our lifestyle while staying in the place we call home.”

With a Walk Score of 90, the village location supports a convenient, connected lifestyle. <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/ivanhoe-vic-3079">Ivanhoe</a> Station is just a eight-minute walk away, and the neighbourhood offers access to parks, cafes, restaurants, and schools along Upper Heidelberg Road, all within easy reach.

Beyond the apartment, the couple also saw value in the broader vision for Candela, one that integrates residential living with public spaces and local amenities.&nbsp;

The development introduces 58 new apartments as well as a mix of commercial and social spaces that integrate contemporary architecture with the suburb’s existing character.&nbsp;

At ground level, residents will find a charming café and a lifestyle wellness centre, perfect for unwinding and rejuvenating. Meanwhile, the rooftop garden offers a stunning vantage point for residents to enjoy breathtaking sunsets, host gatherings, or enjoy barbecues with family and friends. It's not just a place to live; it's a vibrant community where every moment is an opportunity to connect and create lasting memories.

Why Ivanhoe locals are choosing to downsize to Candela

Mark and Roy Makari are expanding their presence in Sydney’s South West with a second major proposal for Leppington, this time envisioning a 900-dwelling mixed-use development just 850 metres from their previously lodged tower trio on Fifth Avenue.

Project management and construction management firm Creative Vision filed the plans for the&nbsp;multi-building project at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/230-rickard-road-leppington-nsw-2179">230 Rickard Road, Leppington</a>. The proposal seeks to establish a new focal point for the precinct through a high-density, transit-oriented development supported by diverse land uses.

According to the Scoping Report prepared for the Department of Planning, the scheme includes around 900 apartments across multiple towers, including 135 dwellings designated for affordable housing. A mix of market and subsidised apartments will be supported by ground-level activation through retail and office space, a childcare centre, and a hotel, forming a comprehensive urban precinct.

<img alt="Mixed Use Development 230 Rickard Rd Leppington" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="34797362-f3dc-4d84-8235-2657fc5f3bde" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Plan.png?VersionId=Uzckrz9tUpDQl5lX1_WMhjnv16bsr8wG" />

The Design Report by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/studiosc-0">Studio SC</a> notes that the project “intends to deliver a high-quality, high-density built form that supports the vision for the Leppington Town Centre, integrating mixed-use outcomes and public domain upgrades.” The development is expected to be delivered in stages, although a precise timeline is yet to be confirmed.

The project will be assessed through a future State Significant Development Application, with the Scoping Report indicating the team will seek design excellence via a competitive process or through an expert design review panel. Early massing diagrams suggest a series of mid- to high-rise buildings framing a central landscaped spine, with emphasis on pedestrian permeability and public space.

The planning documentation flags a strong sustainability agenda, stating that the development will “respond to the urban heat island effect, incorporate water sensitive urban design, and prioritise active transport”.

<img alt="Mixed Use Development 230 Rickard Rd Leppington" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="369d7b54-1279-4cde-88ec-dcb215594414" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Podium_1.png?VersionId=QArL7B2kkLt63vl5xvL0FNV_ardAlez4" />

The proposal follows in the footsteps of the Makaris’ nearby Fifth Avenue site, where they’ve submitted plans for three towers comprising nearly 500 apartments, with 10 per cent dedicated to affordable housing. That project features commercial podiums, a childcare centre, and a new public park that would occupy more than a third of the site.

Both developments are situated within walking distance of Leppington Train Station and fall under strategic precinct plans promoting higher density housing. The town centre is undergoing substantial transformation, driven by state government planning reforms aimed at fast-tracking housing delivery.

Together, the two projects represent a combined ambition of nearly 1,400 new homes across just under two kilometres of central Leppington.

First look: 900-home mixed-use precinct planned for Leppington

Leading Australian integrated property development group, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/aqualand-australia">Aqualand</a>, has released the signature penthouses crowning its landmark AURA by Aqualand precinct at 168 Walker Street in North Sydney, unveiling Il Magnate and La Divina as the largest and most luxurious penthouses in the suburb.

With prices anticipated to commence from $15 million, and each accompanied by a new Porsche Carrera 911 valued at over $500K, the residences mark the culmination of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/aura-by-aqualand-north-sydney-168-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">AURA by Aqualand</a>’s decade-long journey and the beginning of its final sales chapter. 
&nbsp; 
Their release follows more than $850 million in record-breaking residential sales and the building’s completion and occupation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=358868]

The Richards Stanisich-designed 284 sqm Il Magnate and 224 sqm La Divina penthouses, collectively known as The Icons of AURA, are conceived as grand luxury homes rather than apartments, with expansive proportions, elevated materiality and curated identities that reflect their status as one-off residences.&nbsp;

Il Magnate features a grande master suite, complete with substantial walk-in dressing area and ensuite, three other bedrooms, second ensuite and another bathroom, powder room, open plan kitchen, scullery, substantial dining area and generous living room divided by a feature fireplace, and a multifunction wintergarden, which is ideal for a study and adjoining office breakout space. &nbsp;

Meanwhile, the La Divina residence offers the same amenities, sans the powder room, on a slightly smaller alternate floor plan configuration.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=358863]

Each occupies half of AURA by Aqualand’s topmost 28th level, comes with four secure car spaces and pairs sweeping Sydney Harbour panoramas with large-scale living spaces, refined detailing and a level of craftsmanship and amenity rarely offered in the North Shore market.&nbsp;

Penthouse residents will also receive Etymon’s ‘Black Key’ private concierge and lifestyle management service, an invitation only offering providing the ultimate in bespoke personalisation, including a range of everyday discrete services, from dinner party management, grocery deliveries, pet feeding or plants watered, dinners, snacks and coffee deliveries, event ticket sourcing, right up to organising travel visas and international airfares. Rarely seen in Australian properties, the service provides residents the benefits of living in a world-class luxury hotel-style home, akin to The Ritz, or the Waldorf Astoria.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=358862]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/richards-stanisich">Richards Stanisich</a>’s Director, Kirsten Stanisich, said the studio set out to craft residences that feel profoundly considered, contemporary and deeply connected to their setting.

“From the outset, we approached these penthouses with the sensibility of a grand Parisian residence - generous in scale, elegant in proportion and designed to feel more like a handcrafted home than an apartment," Stanisich said.

“Their elevated position and sweeping harbour outlook informed every decision, creating a rare connection between urban sophistication and natural calm. We shaped each space with expressive materiality, sculptural forms and bespoke detailing that invite touch and interaction.&nbsp;

“The result is a pair of residences defined by volume, light and an inherent softness - refined, flexible and deeply personal. These penthouses are unlike anything else in North Sydney, offering a sanctuary of true luxury framed by some of the city’s most remarkable views.”

For Aqualand’s Head of Sales &amp; Marketing, Alex Adams, the collaboration with Porsche underscores the shared ethos behind the residences.

“Aqualand’s collaboration with Porsche underpins both brand’s sharing an obsession with craftsmanship, design excellence, and enduring value," Adams said.

“Our penthouses are created for those who appreciate the finer details and expect the extraordinary at every touchpoint. Including a Porsche simply extends that experience beyond the residence - it’s a continuation of the lifestyle our buyers already live.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=292862]

Aqualand’s Managing Director, Jin Lin, said the penthouses represent both the pinnacle of AURA by Aqualand and an important design benchmark for the company’s future pipeline.&nbsp;

“These stunning penthouses reflect the purest expression of Aqualand’s design ambition," Lin said.

“The unparalleled design intent makes them not only the glistening crown of AURA by Aqualand, but the crown of North Sydney itself. They’re essentially a thank you gift to a burgeoning community that deserves this level of quality and architectural consideration.&nbsp;

“We’re leveraging the unrivalled standard set here as the foundation for what comes next, including our upcoming Anderson Street, Chatswood; 15 Blue Street, North Sydney and Central Barangaroo projects. Purchasers of these penthouses will essentially be living inside the blueprint of Aqualand’s future.

“These landmark residences demonstrate how far North Sydney has evolved and the strength of demand for highly curated, bespoke luxury homes. They’re more than penthouses, they’re legacy residences.&nbsp;

“With AURA by Aqualand now a thriving new precinct with residents well and truly settled, and our in-house world-class lifestyle amenity activated, Il Magnate and La Divina represent a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure an extraordinary piece of North Sydney’s future.”

Aqualand launches North Sydney penthouses with free Porsche Carrera 911

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/bokarina-qld-4575">Bokarina</a> Beach has quietly evolved into one of the Sunshine Coast’s most complete coastal lifestyle precincts, defined not just by proximity to the ocean, but by how residential living, local retail and everyday amenity are stitched together.&nbsp;

Gardner Vaughan Group’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/bask-bokarina-38-bokarina-boulevard-bokarina-qld-4575">Bask Bokarina</a> now represents the final residential chapter in that transformation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333360]

Over recent years, the Bokarina Beach precinct has taken shape as a walkable, community-oriented neighbourhood, anchored by beachfront access, Lake Kawana to the west, and a growing mix of cafés, specialty retail and public open space.&nbsp;

With Zinc Bokarina already delivered next door by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gardner-vaughan-group">Gardner Vaughan Group</a> (GVG), Bask is the last opportunity to buy a brand new apartment within the precinct, effectively rounding out a fully formed coastal village.

GVG has positioned Bask to strengthen that lifestyle framework. Ten ground-floor retail spaces are planned beneath the residences, extending Bokarina Boulevard’s existing activity and reinforcing the area’s everyday convenience, from casual dining and coffee to local services, within a short walk of the beach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333359]

The residential component comprises 135 apartments across two buildings, Mydas and Caretta, with a clear shift toward larger three- and four-bedroom layouts and penthouses. That mix reflects a maturing buyer profile in Bokarina, where demand is increasingly led by owner-occupiers and active downsizers seeking space, permanence, and connection to place rather than short-term coastal accommodation.

Design and amenity have followed the same logic. Residents will have access to a heated plunge pool, gym, private dining room with a full kitchen, landscaped communal gardens with barbecues and a firepit, and a shared herb and vegetable garden, facilities intended to support daily use rather than resort-style turnover. Pet-friendly features, including a dog wash bay, acknowledge both buyer expectations and the area’s dog-friendly beach, located around 250 metres from the site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333366]

“Bokarina has become one of the Sunshine Coast’s most desirable beachside communities, and Bask represents the very last chance to buy new in this location,” GVG Director Sam Gardner said.&nbsp;

“Our focus has been to create spacious, functional apartments that meet the needs of locals who want to downsize without compromise, as well as those seeking a full-time coastal retreat.”

Positioned between the Pacific Ocean and Lake Kawana, Bask apartments have been oriented to capture outlooks toward the water or the Glass House Mountains, reinforcing the project’s connection to its natural surroundings. With parks, beachfront paths, hospitals, retail and public transport already in place, Bask arrives at a point where the broader precinct is no longer emerging, but established.

Construction is expected to complete in Q3 this year, with apartments ready to move into this Spring.

Bask to complete Bokarina’s Sunshine Coast lifestyle precinct as final apartments are released

The inner west home of recently departed GWS Giant Adam Tomlinson has quickly found its buyer and gone under contract.
The Melbourne­-bound utility had listed the Balmain home for auction next weekend, but sold midweek subject to its five-day cooling off period.
The sale terms were $1,825,000 after nine contracts were issued after 82 groups went through.
It sold to a couple from Balmain East.
It was listed just days before the AFL grand final, when Tomlinson started on the bench in the Giants’ big loss to Richmond.
Tomlinson recently signed a five-year deal with the Demons, with salary cap pressures from the Giants­ reportedly­ forcing the move.
“It’s just one of those things. You can only fit so many people into one room,” he recently told The Daily Telegraph.
The Melbourne sports press suggested his deal was for $500,000 a year.
Tomlinson, who was originally from Melbourne, recently said he loved living in Sydney.
He’s been at his Balmain home, known as Woodleigh, since 2015 when he paid $1.36 million for the two-level Victorian.
He had a guide of $1.6 million for its October 19 auction through Belle Property Balmain agents Monique Dower and Madeleine Russell.
The home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The lounge room has a gas fireplace while the kit­chen and dining areas open to a rear courtyard on the 120 square metre parcel.
“I’ve loved my time at the Giants ... and no doubt I’ll look back on this period of my career fondly in the years to come,” Giants­ foundation player Tomlinson said.

Former Port Adelaide AFL star turned TV presenter Warren Tredrea has listed the Adelaide family home.
The Lawrie Street terrace at Henley Beach, west of Adelaide, was bought near new in 2016 for $920,000, a year after it was built.
It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a study. The open plan living, kitchen and dining area flows to an entertaining alfresco area.
The balcony at the front of the home looks out to the AFL posts on the fields of St Michael's College where Tredrea was kicking goals in his youth. He won the student athlete award in 1995.
The property has a guide of $1.02 million to $1.05 million. 
Tredrea was a one-club man, pulling on the Port Adelaide jersey over 260 times, including winning the 2004 Premiership, Port Adelaide's first in history.
He is now a weekday sports presenter on Nine News Adelaide.

Former Collingwood and West Coast Eagle Sharrod Wellingham has listed his West Perth penthouse.
Wellingham, who started his career at the Magpies, paid $650,000 for the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-apartment-wa-west+perth-132124194" target="_blank">two bedroom Manhattan-style penthouse</a> in 2013 when he joined the Eagles.
Now he's asking for offers over $599,000.
Set in the 2002 built Madison West complex, the two bedroom apartment has 85 sqm of internal living space with a 45 sqm main terrace and another 10 sqm balcony off the master suite.

The apartment spans two levels with a mezzanine area upstairs. It's been a $630 a week rental in recent years.
Bourkes South Perth agent James Thompson has the listing.
Wellingham is currently playing footy in the WAFL for East Perth. He is also a fleet manager at Audi Centre Perth.

Adam Tomlinson, the GWS grand final player, has listed his Sydney home.
The midfielder, who ­started on the bench on the weekend, has listed in Balmain.
Belle Property Balmain agents Monique Dower and Madeleine Russell have a $1.6 million guide for its October 19 auction.

Tomlinson, who is club foundation player with 140 games for the Giants since his 2012 debut, bought the home in 2015 for $1.36 million.  
He ranks fifth on the Giants’ all-time ­appearance list.
It’s been reported Tomlinson, who is out of contract at the end of the season, could be forced back to a Melbourne club due to GWS salary cap pressure, but he hopes to stay in ­orange.
“I’d love to (stay at GWS),” Tomlinson told The Daily Telegraph earlier in the week.
“It’s just one of those things. You can only fit so many people into one room.”

The Triangl swimwear founder Craig Ellis and his wife Erin Deering have secured $4.5 million for their Bondi Beach investment apartment.
The 176 square metre, two-bedroom apartment in Pacific Terraces on Notts Avenue was bought for $5 million only last year.
At the time, it was the third apartment to have fetched $5 million in the complex.
Peter Starr, of Raine &amp; Horne Double Bay, secured the re-sale in the recently refurbished, early-1980s block which was built by the experienced development site consultant Bill Shipton with venture capital from the late Kerry Packer.
Ellis, a former Bulldogs AFL footballer who lives in Monaco’s Palazzo Leonardo, has been a longtime successful investor around Bondi.

West Coast Eagles star Nic Naitanui is set to make a big loss on his former Perth home.
The Swan View residence, which became an $800 a week rental following his upgrade in 2016, cost $1,285,000 in 2012, shortly after he was named as the All-Australian Team starting ruckman.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/3/29/swan%202.jpg" alt="">
It is now asking for offers over $900,000.
The two level entertainer on an 855 square metre hilltop parcel north east of Perth has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a theatre room and a rear swimming pool.
Swan Real Estate agents Trevor and Gabriella Black have the listing.
Naitanui, who made his debut for the Eagles in 2009 after being the number two draft pick a year earlier, upgraded homes in 2016.
He spent $3 million on a five bedroom home with swimming pool in Mount Lawley (pictured below).

Due to their ongoing commitments on the Gold Coast, former Sunrise News presenter Sarah Cumming and her AFL coaching husband Stuart Dew are selling their North Bondi home.
The couple paid $1.4 million for the home in 2012 when Dew was an assistant with the Sydney Swans and Cumming was the weather presenter at Channel Seven.
They married a year later and have two children, Frankie and Jack.
Upon their move up north early last year, Cumming and Dew secured a $1,400 a week tenant.
They've since purchased not far from the club at Burleigh Waters, spending $1.35 million on a four bedroom home with a heated saltwater swimming pool.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-duplex+semi-detached-nsw-north+bondi-130614234" target="_blank">The 1920s North Bondi home</a> has been updated over the couple's six year ownership.
They've added a new luxury marble kitchen, new modern bathrooms and renovated the north facing private entertainers' courtyard.
The four bedroom home with parking for two cars on its 210 square metre Clyde Street parcel also comes with a new video intercom.
Ray White Double Bay agents Warren Ginsberg and Adam Reichman have a March 28 auction.
The couple moved to the Gold Coast following Dew's appointment as the head coach of the Gold Coast Suns, who kick off their 2019 campaign away at St Kilda. They host Fremantle the following week.
The dual premiership-winner for Port Adelaiode and Hawthorn had previously been the strategy and midfield coach of the Swans.
Cumming is following in the footsteps of Sharyn Ghidella, another former Sydneysider who moved to the Gold Coast.
Ghidella, who presents Seven News Brisbane with Bill McDonald, sold her Roseville home for $1,803,000 in 2014 to make the move north.

The Russells paid $895,000 for the property in 2006, the same year he was promoted to Channel Nine's calling team for Friday night matches. He had been calling Sunday afternoon matches since 2002.

He is now asking for offers between $3.4 million and $3.6 million through Great Ocean Properties agents Marty Maher and Mim Atkinson.

Russell played for Port Adelaide in the SANFL and Geelong in the VFL and AFL.

Property listing website Realestate.com.au will be the official online property partner for the 2019 Toyota AFL Premiership season.
The agreement builds on realestate.com.au’s existing sponsorship with the Sydney Swans, which will continue in 2019. 
Elisa Silbert, REA Group general manager brand, marketing and communications, said property really has become the other Saturday game for many Australians.
"Together with the AFL we are combing two of our favourite obsessions, but more than that, we are bringing together Australia’s #1 place for property and the country’s number one sport," Silbert said.

“Consumers are increasingly interacting with sport and property through digital platforms.
"This strategic alliance will allow realestate.com.au to become deeply integrated with the AFL and footy fans. 
“The partnership will also allow us to further elevate and leverage our partnership with the Sydney Swans across the season.”
The partnership announcement will act similar to Domain.com.au's deal with Cricket Australia.
Realestate.com.au will also be the naming right partner for the AFLX 2019.
The one night only realestate.com.au AFLX 2019 tournament at Marvel Stadium will take place on Friday February 22 and will see four teams, the BOLTS, the DEADLY, the FLYERS and the RAMPAGE, compete.
