<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

Potts Point

Australia is set to have a new record terrace price with Prue MacLeod and her husband Alasdair securing an off market purchase of a four-storey Potts Point home.
The sale of the attached grand Victorian Italianate residence, <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property/25-challis-ave-potts-point-nsw-2011" target="_blank">Highclere</a> was secured by father and son flippers, Roy and Anthony Medich, who had bought the 340 sqm holding for $12.5 million in November 2017 from John McNiven.
The Medich's retain James Packer’s Bondi Beach home which was bought for a coastal record of $29 million as the Medich HQ.
It is understood the deal was done December 21.
<div class="in-content-ad">The reputed $14 million off-market deal tops the earlier <a href="/news/record-terrace-price-sales-in-potts-point-and-alexandria">$13 million terrace record</a> set by a freestanding grand 1880s-built terrace just two doors away when it was sold in 2016 by Heidi Onisforou to the lawyer Karen Beck.</div>

The acquisition by Prue MacLeod, the eldest daughter of Rupert Murdoch, and her husband Alasdair coincides with the Wentworth Courier reporting late last year of their hopes to quietly off-load their Queen Street, Woollahra, for about $15 million.
Prue and Alasdair MacLeod <a href="/news/prue-and-alasdair-macleod-spend-10-65-million-on-woollahra-home-of-miner-nick-curtis">bought their Woollahra residence in 2014</a> for $10.65 million from former mining boss Nick Curtis and his wife Angela for $10.65 million.
The house was previously owned by radio broadcaster John Laws before he sold it to the Curtises in 2004 for $7.7 million.

Annalise Braakensiek, the international model, has bought a Sydney bolthole.
The newly offered apartment is on Potts Point's Victoria Street.
She plans to decorate in her signature style with accents of Bali, which she visits frequently due to business commitments including her jewellery designer sideline.
These days Braakensiek mostly divides her time between Europe and the US.
She paid about $600,000 for the one-bedroom apartment.
It comes with trendy oak floating floors.
There is a large balcony and a storage cage.
The block of 14 apartments comes with communal rooftop.
Braakensiek, currently in Los Angeles on a modelling assignment, had buyer’s agent Tracy Chambers undertake her property search.
Braakensiek confirmed earlier this year that her marriage of 16 years with stockbroker Danny Goldberg, had ended.
She expressed her situation on Instagram, sharing with her 37,000 followers: "I don't know if a broken heart mends or learns to live in pieces." 
Victoria by Mayfair on Victoria St is a modernisation of an apartments built in 1980. The block with street side restaurant spaces last sold for $5,220,000 in 2014.

The long standing $15 million Potts Point apartment record has been topped twice in as many weeks.
First the penthouse atop the Ikon building sold for a suburb record $16 million when bought by audio king Peter Freedman, and now the Villard penthouse on Macleay Street has fetched $15.5 million.
The Villard apartment (pictured above and below), which sold in just two weeks on the market, had initial $16.5 million hopes through Jason Boon at Richardson &amp; Wrench.
It follows a string of penthouse sales over recent times including the Tara penthouse by Laing Estate Agents, the Oceana penthouse by Ray White.
There's also talk the Rockwall penthouse is being offered off market.  
<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/2018/11/26/Vill2.jpg" alt="">
The Villard penthouse was listed by digital media chief executive Matthew Kapp, who co-founded Ozmota Ventures, who paid $4.69 million when he was buying from Tim Higgins of the Design Establishment furniture company in 2000.
The apartment has a rooftop magnesium swimming pool.
<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/2018/11/27/floorplan.jpg" alt=""> 
Villard's most recent sale was when racehorse owner Max Whitby sold the sub-penthouse last month for $12.5 million.
The whole floor Villard <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-apartment-nsw-potts+point-129983598" target="_blank">three bedroom three bathroom apartment</a> has been offered recently as a $5000 a week rental through Ray White Double Bay.
It cost $6.6 million in 2012 when the three-bedroom sub-penthouse was bought by Whitby and his late wife, Jennifer from the Elizabeth Bay-bound retired car dealer Ray Harris and his wife Robyn.

Singer-songwriter Delta Goodrem is still inspecting pricey inner-city apartments, but is yet to commit to her next Sydney bolthole.
Her recent sightings have been mostly around Elizabeth Bay and Potts Point. She looked at the Tara penthouse that was snapped up on Friday, but not by Goodrem, apparently for $4 million-plus.
The 358 square metre apartment, once an illegal gambling den, sold after its first official open for inspection through Anthony Birdsall and Vicki Laing at Laing Real Estate.
Located on the seventh floor, the three-bedroom Greenknowe Ave apartment with wraparound garden was sold by retired estate agent Peter Thane, who had bought it in 2000 from the writer Ruth Ritchie for $1.1 million.
Goodrem was papped ­recently going into the apartment block for a private showing, so it hardly met her prerequisite of being pap-proof.
There’s also been a sighting of her at The Palms apartment block on the harbourfront at Elizabeth Bay.
But Goodrem decided against the two-bedroom apartment that’s listed for $4.75 million, suggesting to the agents that the paparazzi could take photos from the water. Local agents say she has gone quiet, though not because she has bought.
It was a busy week for sales in the area. Racehorse owner Max Whitby sold his $12.5 million Villard, Potts Point, penthouse, and immediately bought across the street.
Whitby, whose horse Graff finished fifth in The Everest earlier this month, spent $5.2 million to buy in Ikon, also on Macleay Street.
The Kris Lees-trained colt was beaten by half a length into fifth by Le Romain. That cost him $220,000, with fourth receiving a whopping $820,000 and fifth $600,000
The 185 square metre apartment, styled by Amgad Kamel, had sold only six months ago at $5 million when offloaded by Mike Crivelli and his wife Sue, who had paid $2.95 million in 2012.
Whitby’s 346 square metre whole seventh-floor Villard sub-penthouse had cost $6.6 million in 2012 in the Ercole ­Palazzetti-designed complex.
It was <a href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:W_HuY60Ee6AJ:https://www.realestate.com.au/property-apartment-nsw-potts%2Bpoint-424905222%2019%2F18%20macleay" target="_blank">the three bedroom three bathroom apartment</a> offered recently as a $5000 a week rental through Ray White Double Bay.

Whitby’s apartment was also previously owned by David Kunde, who sold it to the Harris family in 2006 for $7,387,500.
Its first owner was the late interior designer Garth Barnett who bought it off the plan in 1998 for $2.15 million and sold it the following year for $3.55 million.
The three-bedroom sub-penthouse of the Villard sold for $12.5 million ranks second only to the $15 million paid in 2012 by liquor industry pioneer John Piven-Large for the nearby Pomeroy penthouse and a separate apartment below.

The Sydney Theatre company artistic director Kip Williams has upsized Potts Point apartments.
He's bought the long-time apartment of the late socialite Bobby Bawden, who was dubbed the doyen of the 1920s Byron Hall apartment block.
She had called the three bedroom apartment her home for nearly 25 years.
The apartment's French Parisian interior design was done by its earlier owner, jeweller Peter Sourry. 
Laing Real Estate agents Vicki Laing and Anthony Dowling sold the apartment with harbour views after having it listed with $2 million hopes.
Williams, who sold nearby for $750,000, was the youngest artistic director in the company's history when promoted to the role in 2016.

The brand new state of the art 980 sqm space is tenanted by Woolworths, while there's also two supporting speciality shops spanning 315 sqm.
It last traded off the plan in 2016 when reportedly <a href="/news/new-woolworths-potts-point-premises-sold">bought for $16.3 million</a> by New Zealand investor Brian Cook.
The sale was subject to Woolworths not exercising a final right of refusal to acquire the property. The Woolworths was designed to cater to the area's high volume of pedestrian traffic.

The retailers are signed to a 15 year net lease with a net income of $946,000 per annum, with the Woolworths base rate calculated as $505,215 p.a.
The $459,710 p.a. speciality shop rental has been guaranteed for two years.

CBRE retail investments agents Harry George and Nick Willis are marketing the property until November 29.
There are $3 million benefits from depreciation over the life of the investment.
Omnia is the latest residential and retail development in Potts Point.
The $320 million building was developed by Chinese-backed developer Greenland.
Sherwood Luo, Greenland Australia's managing director, said the Woolworths Metro store further strengthens one of Omnia’s key points of difference – convenience.
 “Having the Woolworths Metro store on the podium level really is the icing on the cake for our residents," he said.
"We are also targeting premium bar and restaurant operators for the ground floor retail tenancies, so Omnia will provide an immense level of lifestyle convenience all within the building itself.
“Omnia offers the ultimate in convenience on a number of fronts. Firstly, it’s in an exemplary position, ideally located between Victoria Street and Darlinghurst Road, adjacent to the iconic Coca-Cola sign, right in the centre of all the action, you can’t get much better. It’s also a stone’s throw from the CBD.

A Woolworths Metro has officially opened as the anchor tenant of Greenland Australia’s $320 million Omnia apartment building in Potts Point, which is in the final stages of completion after Probuild topped out the structure in February 2018.

The result of a design competition, the 20-storey tower features a striking hour glass form that was conceived by architects Durbach Block Jaggers, with interiors by SJB. Omnia's dynamic architectural expression was achieved by progressively reducing the floor slab length by 180mm across 10 levels and then increasing again.

The Woolworths Metro in Omnia offers an expansive fresh food section, barista made coffee, sushi made on site, hot roast chickens, an in-store bakery and a quick and easy ready meal section. The Woolworths Metro is located on level one of Omnia’s podium level, and forms part of a retail offering that will consist of ​seven​ other retail spaces on the ground floor, which are currently available for lease.

According to Greenland Australia, the Woolworths Metro store further strengthens one of Omnia’s key points of difference – convenience. The Woolworths Metro will be open from 6am until midnight seven days a week.

<blockquote>
Having the Woolworths Metro store on the podium level really is the icing on the cake for our residents. We are also targeting premium bar and restaurant operators for the ground floor retail tenancies, so Omnia will provide an immense level of lifestyle convenience all within the building itself.

Omnia offers the ultimate in convenience on a number of fronts. Firstly, it’s in an exemplary position, ideally located between Victoria Street and Darlinghurst Road, adjacent to the iconic Coca-Cola sign, right in the centre of all the action, you can’t get much better. It’s also a stone’s throw from the CBD.

From a lifestyle point of view, it has a myriad of top-notch restaurants, bars and other entertainment venues within a short walk in Potts Point and Woolloomooloo. It also has landmark destinations including The Royal Botanic Garden, Hyde Park, Woolloomooloo Wharf and the CBD, within a fifteen-minute walk, not to mention designer boutiques and a range of sophisticated fine dining options.

-  Sherwood Luo, Greenland Australia’s Managing Director

<blockquote>
Our customers are looking for food they can either eat now on the go, or later, along with a convenient grocery shop. This store has been designed to cater to the area’s high volume of pedestrian traffic, which includes busy city workers and local residents, who are looking for quick and easy 'grab and go' shopping options.

Residents who are heading home for the evening and are looking for healthy meal options that are freshly prepared and ready to cook or reheat, will have all this on their doorstep with this Woolworths Metro store.

Victorian 1870 terrace in Potts Point scheduled for auction

Racehorse owner Max Whitby has sold his $12.5 million whole floor Villard, Potts Point apartment.
It was <a href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:W_HuY60Ee6AJ:https://www.realestate.com.au/property-apartment-nsw-potts%2Bpoint-424905222%2019%2F18%20macleay" target="_blank">the three bedroom three bathroom apartment</a> offered recently as a $5000 a week rental through Ray White Double Bay.
It cost $6.6 million in 2012 when the three-bedroom sub-penthouse was bought by Whitby and his late wife, Jennifer from the Elizabeth Bay-bound retired car dealer Ray Harris and his wife Robyn.
The Macleay Street complex was designed by architect Ercole Palazzetti.

Whitby’s apartment was also previously owned by David Kunde, who sold it to the Harris family in 2006 for $7,387,500.
Its first owner was the late interior designer Garth Barnett who bought it off the plan in 1998 for $2.15 million and sold it the following year for $3.55 million.
The three-bedroom sub-penthouse of the Villard sold for $12.5 million ranks second only to the $15 million paid in 2012 by liquor industry pioneer John Piven-Large for the nearby Pomeroy penthouse and a separate apartment below.

The off market sale occurred last night in what the R&amp;W agency described as a "positive sale."
Heidi Onisforou is currently still seeking $9 million for her apartment on the other side of Macleay Street, set above Zinc Cafe.
There have been a string of prestige sales over the past five months in the village.
In June Macquarie executive John Wilson sold his Pomeroy apartment for $10.05 million.
The apartment had previously traded for $6 million in 2010 when sold by Di Jagelman.
Whitby's horse Graff finished fifth in The Everest earlier this month.

Socialite jeweller Heidi Onisforou is whispered to soon list her Potts Point apartment, pitching it as a $9 million New York style warehouse offering.
Onisforou, the former wife of millionaire property developer Theo, snapped up the neatly sandwiched penthouse in 2016.
She downsized to the third apartment, paying $4.4 million for the three bedroom, 270 sqm space high above Zinc cafe.
She raised its ceilings, but caused a few water issues for the Macleay Street apartment complex.
It had been traded just the once before at $1.7 million in 2001 shortly after the apartments were converted from office space by the plumber John Keith.
Onisforou will retain a Victorian terrace around the corner.
She paid $4.1 million for the long time home of lawyer Ezekiel Solomon, who'd bought the Victoria Street home for $75,000 in 1977, in the midst of the strip's heritage battle.
