An entity directed by HSN's Rafi Assouline and Rebel Property's Allen Linz has filed plans for an impressive new precinct in Woolloomooloo.

The major mixed-use development would transform a prominent William Street site into a new residential village anchored by affordable housing and a large public park.

The proposal, submitted as a State Significant Development Application, covers 164-172 and 174-194 William Street, a 6,398 sqm site between Forbes Street and Dowling Street on the southern edge of Woolloomooloo.

Designed by fjcstudio in collaboration with Bangawarra, Studio Bright and Tribe Studio Architects, the scheme would deliver 227 apartments across four residential buildings ranging in height up to 18 storeys, alongside retail space, public domain improvements and a new publicly accessible park.

It's another design scheme for Rebel, who took <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/first-look-rebel-property-group-takes-woolloomooloo-precinct-to-nsw-government">concept plans to the NSW Gov late last year</a>.

The latest plans will be a mix of 167 build-to-sell apartments and 60 affordable apartments, with the affordable housing component representing 15 per cent of the project's gross floor area. The apartment mix includes 12 one-bedroom, 53 two-bedroom, 89 three-bedroom apartments and 13 penthouses, while the affordable housing component would comprise 42 one-bedroom and 18 two-bedroom apartments.

<img alt="Rebel" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3b3d4553-8a8c-4af5-aa8c-519ffb1e28c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-12%20at%2011.20.12%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=_Yb6ibN7eDnOtQjCNDK2eviORa4qzgv." />

Rebel Property is seeking to take advantage of the NSW Government's infill affordable housing bonus provisions under the Housing SEPP, which provide additional floor space and height in exchange for the delivery of affordable housing for a minimum of 15 years. The planning pathway allows a 30 per cent increase in floor space ratio and building height where 15 per cent of the development is dedicated to affordable housing.

&nbsp;

At the centre of the development is a 1,356 sqm sunlit public park designed to become a new community gathering space at the gateway to Woolloomooloo. The park would be complemented by a network of pedestrian laneways connecting William Street with the surrounding streets, improving permeability through what is currently a largely impermeable block.

<img alt="Rebel" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="257af931-a393-4007-8c6d-7219796df58d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-12%20at%2011.20.51%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=KAHy94GrhaReFsWTGDKfy39EDJ8gEEv4" />

The design team says the public domain has been heavily influenced by the site's topography and Aboriginal cultural heritage, drawing on the escarpments, gullies and landscape characteristics that historically defined the area before urbanisation. The landscape design has been developed in partnership with First Nations consultancy Bangawarra.

The project would be delivered across four separate buildings. The William Street East and William Street West buildings, designed by fjcstudio, would contain the majority of the apartments. Melbourne-based Studio Bright has designed the Forbes Street building, while Tribe Studio Architects is responsible for the Dowling Street building.

Rebel had secured approval for the concept plans late last year.

First look: HSN, Rebel, advances Woolloomooloo precinct plans

A locally heritage-listed furniture showroom on Water Street is set to become the centrepiece of a new mixed-use residential development as local developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/keylin-group">Keylin</a> seeks approval for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lotus-on-water-street-290-water-street-fortitude-valley-qld-4006">Lotus on Water Street</a>, a 15-storey project on the Fortitude Valley side of Spring Hill.

The proposal spans 290 Water Street and 137-141 Warry Street, combining several properties into a 2,869 sqm site that sits between Fortitude Valley, Spring Hill and the rapidly evolving Victoria Park precinct. Keylin's plans would deliver 132 apartments alongside new retail, hospitality and commercial space, while retaining and repurposing the historic Brunswick Home Furnishers Showroom that fronts Water Street.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/jackson-teece">Jackson Teece</a>, Lotus on Water Street comprises a 12-storey residential tower rising above a three-storey podium and communal rooftop terrace. The development includes 76 apartments classified as multiple dwellings and a further 56 units proposed as short-term accommodation, designed to be flexibly used as either accommodation or permanent residences. The apartment mix comprises six one-bedroom, 54 two-bedroom and 16 three-bedroom homes.

<img alt="First look: Keylin unveils heritage-led Lotus on Water Street tower in Fortitude Valley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9822bb79-6c49-49c9-95ba-319e8c8d81c3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/fortitude%20valley%20front.png?VersionId=ioW8zbN4UVebbLetTFuv92t.HkdgfR5e" />

Residents would have access to an extensive rooftop recreation level spanning more than 1,200 sqm of communal open space. Plans include a pool, gym, sauna, infrared sauna, yoga area, library, private dining room, barbecue facilities and landscaped entertainment spaces, making the rooftop the project's largest shared amenity offering.

At street level, the proposal focuses on the adaptive reuse of the heritage buildings along Water Street, where 518 sqm of retail and commercial space is planned across shop, office and food and drink outlet uses. A permeable residential lobby would be positioned between the retained heritage buildings, creating a pedestrian connection between the historic streetscape and the new tower behind.

<img alt="First look: Keylin unveils heritage-led Lotus on Water Street tower in Fortitude Valley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="269cf3e0-7d13-48bf-a318-05a00deb5c10" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/fortitude%20valley%20podium.png?VersionId=DLXmTCLsp6GOcLpQ0h.0z7wKCw59EhN_" />

The heritage retention strategy is central to the scheme. The development application notes that the Brunswick Home Furnishers Showroom and adjoining heritage buildings will remain, with only non-significant structures on the site earmarked for removal under a previously issued Heritage Exemption Certificate. Levels one and two of the new podium are recessed behind the heritage façades to maintain their prominence within the streetscape.

Jackson Teece has drawn inspiration from the site's manufacturing history when designing the podium. The planning documents state that the façade incorporates perforated metal screening that references the woven and rattan furniture historically produced on the site. Cascading and climbing plants are integrated throughout the podium to soften the building's presentation and screen parking levels behind. The landscape strategy also informs the project's name, Lotus on Water Street, drawing on the historic Spring Hollow waterholes that once ran through Spring Hill and the blue water lilies associated with Meeanjin, Brisbane's traditional name.

The proposal also incorporates the neighbouring property at 141 Warry Street, currently occupied by a healthcare service. The existing building would remain, with nine dedicated parking spaces allocated within the new development to support its ongoing operation. In total, Lotus on Water Street proposes 117 car spaces, including 110 resident spaces and seven visitor bays, alongside 100 bicycle spaces.

<img alt="First look: Keylin unveils heritage-led Lotus on Water Street tower in Fortitude Valley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="70cf07bc-4fd8-4e70-92dd-be8b21c4e4f0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/fortitude%20valley%20site.png?VersionId=txlxrJImM0Sm_vTzHVKh5DDUkyL_CiiA" />

The site sits within the Spring Hill East Precinct of the Spring Hill Neighbourhood Plan and is positioned around 650 metres from both Fortitude Valley Station and Exhibition Station. It is also within walking distance of the King Street precinct, Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Herston Quarter and Victoria Park, which is earmarked to become a major venue precinct ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Planning documents describe the location as a key gateway between Spring Hill and Fortitude Valley and highlight the area's increasing importance as new transport infrastructure and Olympic-related investment reshape Brisbane's inner north. The development team argues the project will contribute additional housing supply while activating a section of Water Street that has historically received less investment than other parts of the Valley.

Keylin has become increasingly active across Brisbane and southeast Queensland, assembling sites in strategic inner-city locations. They are currently selling and delivering <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/oria-spring-hill-447-gregory-terrace-spring-hill-qld-4000">Oria Spring Hill</a>, just over 140 apartments due for completion in 2027.

Keylin plans heritage-led Lotus on Water Street apartment development in Fortitude Valley

Roseville is poised for a wave of new apartment development following the NSW Government's rezoning of land around Roseville Station under its Transport Oriented Development program.

The new planning controls have unlocked significant development potential within walking distance of the station, with a number of sites expected to be amalgamated and redeveloped in the coming years as developers seek to take advantage of the increased density allowances.

One of the more restrained developments in the precinct, and set among the first to be delivered having commenced well before the recent changes, is Hyecorp's Juliet. The boutique apartment project is already well under construction and remains on track to welcome residents by the end of the year, offering a markedly different proposition to many of the larger-scale developments now likely to emerge across the suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278194]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/juliet-roseville-64-pacific-highway-roseville-nsw-2069">Juliet</a> will comprise just&nbsp;34 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments opposite Roseville Station. For Hyecorp, which has delivered projects across Sydney's Lower North Shore for more than three decades, Roseville presented a rare opportunity to address a growing gap in the market.

"<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/roseville-nsw-2069">Roseville</a> has long been one of the North Shore's most tightly held and desirable suburbs, offering a unique combination of village charm, established greenery, excellent transport connections, and proximity to some of Sydney's best schools and lifestyle amenities," Hyecorp said.

"We recognised a growing demand from local homeowners seeking to downsize without leaving the community they have built their lives around. The location presented a rare opportunity to create homes that cater specifically to that buyer profile."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278196]

The six-level development has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/pbd-architects">PBD Architects</a> as a collection of residences that feel more like homes than apartments. The brief centred generous floorplans, abundant natural light, quality finishes, and strong connections to outdoor space.

PBD Architects drew inspiration from Roseville's established garden suburb character, creating a building that sits comfortably within its surroundings rather than dominating them. The architecture incorporates natural materials, soft forms, layered landscaping, expansive balconies, and generous setbacks to strengthen the connection between residents and the suburb's leafy environment.

"The focus was on designing spacious, house-like residences for discerning owner-occupiers and downsizers who wanted to remain on the North Shore without compromising on comfort, privacy, or design," PBD said.&nbsp;

"Every apartment was to feel considered, timeless, and highly functional."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278195]

Inside, residences feature engineered timber flooring, stone kitchen benchtops and splashbacks, integrated Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, ducted air conditioning, and large outdoor entertaining areas designed to take advantage of district and treetop views.

Residents will also have access to a rooftop barbecue and lounge area, alongside practical amenities including parcel lockers, EV charging capability, bicycle storage, a dog wash bay, and a basement car wash facility.

The majority of purchasers so far have been local owner-occupiers from Roseville, Lindfield, Chatswood, Killara, and the broader Upper North Shore, many of whom are transitioning from larger family homes.

"Buyers are looking for spacious, house-like apartments that allow them to downsize without feeling like they are sacrificing comfort or functionality," Hyecorp noted.

"They value large kitchens, generous living areas, ample storage, quality finishes, secure parking, lift access, and low-maintenance living."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278204]

Juliet sits directly opposite Roseville Train Station and within walking distance of Roseville Village, while Chatswood's retail and dining precinct is only minutes away. The development is also surrounded by some of Sydney's most established schools, including Roseville College, Ravenswood, Pymble Ladies' College, and Knox Grammar, as well as nearby parklands and golf courses.

Juliet is currently more than 75 per cent sold ahead of its anticipated completion in late 2026.

Sherpa Property Group has unveiled the third instalment of its Flourish series, securing full approval for the two-tower, $500 million Flourish Soleira development in Palm Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/flourish-soleira-1150-1154-gold-coast-highway-palm-beach-qld-4221">Flourish Soleira</a> will rise from a prominent site in the commercial heart of Palm Beach, the long-time home of Cash Converters and a range of local retailers.

The project will introduce a new retail and dining precinct at ground level, beneath 286 apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=370959]

“We’re very committed to not only providing affordable residential offerings that are much needed in Palm Beach, but also delivering a vibrant new commercial heart that complements the extraordinary growth of the southern Gold Coast,” Sherpa Property Group founder Christie Leet said.

The development will sit under Sherpa's Flourish brand, which is aimed at providing a pathway into the beachside suburb for locals, first-home buyers and downsizers. In a move designed to assist first-home buyers entering the market, Sherpa has reserved all one and two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments exclusively for eligible first-home buyers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=370964]

“Our vision through Flourish is to create a vibrant retail and lifestyle focal point within the Palm Beach centre zone, delivering thriving communities underpinned by lifestyle-rich locations,” Leet said.

“So far, Flourish has been an incredible success, and we hope to carry this momentum as we progress the next two Flourish projects in Palm Beach.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=371430]

Located across 1150-1164 Gold Coast Highway and 3 Sixth Avenue, the development will comprise two towers. The northern tower will deliver 154 apartments, while the southern tower will add a further 132 residences, helping address ongoing demand for new apartments in the tightly held coastal suburb.

Flourish Soleira will also feature the most extensive rooftop amenity offering ever delivered in Palm Beach.

The two towers will be connected by a skybridge, with residents gaining access to a rooftop recreation deck featuring a full-width swimming pool, hot and cold plunge pools, wellness spaces, a gymnasium, private dining facilities, massage treatment rooms, barbecue areas, a basketball court, golf simulator, indoor and outdoor dining spaces, sun lounges and extensive landscaping.

LPS Group is expected to start construction later this year.

Sherpa is already well advanced on construction of its debut Flourish project, Flourish Amargo, located just around the corner from Soleira. Meanwhile, Flourish Oasis, positioned opposite Amargo, recently commenced construction and has nearly sold out its collection of 47 apartments.

Are mortgage holders set to get a reprieve from the RBA in 2026?

Big Four bank NAB believes so. They are now expecting the next move from the RBA to be a cut, rather than a hike, which they had pencilled in for August. They are unsure of the timing of the cut however, they note in their latest&nbsp;NAB Economics RBA Watch.

NAB Chief Economist, Dr Sally Auld, said recent data suggests the economy has lost momentum and the outlook for rates has shifted, noting that the broader economic backdrop has changed since earlier in the year.

“The next move in the cash rate is likely to be down, but the timing is uncertain," Dr Auld said.

"In February, growth was above trend, the economy was operating above capacity and there was uncertainty over the restrictiveness of rates. None of these conditions exist today,” she outlined.

Dr Auld said recent data pointed to softer momentum across the economy while acknowledging that at the same time, uncertainty remains a key feature of the outlook.

“Both Q1 GDP data and the NAB business survey suggest momentum in the economy has slowed, meaning that growth has likely peaked for the cycle. That said, we are cognisant there is still considerable uncertainty around the outlook, both with respect to activity and inflation.”

Dr Auld said inflation risks and labour market outcomes would be important to watch.

“On the prices side, we are still forecasting above target core inflation through to mid-2027. Margins will compress and weaker labour market outcomes are a risk.”

She said tighter financial conditions are expected to weigh on housing and activity.

“Tighter financial conditions will be reflected in a slowing in house price growth and housing credit growth. In summary, we have greater conviction that the next move in rates is down, but less conviction on the timing.”

BWM Group founding partner and adman Rob Belgiovane has sold his Parriwi Road, Mosman home for a bullish price off-market.
The $8 million buyers have emerged as thoroughbred horse owner Paul Fleming, the son of the late grocery tycoon Jim Fleming, and wife Allison.
The deal was done by a truly local agent, Robert Klaric at The Property Expert International who lives just down the street.
Belgiovane, who founded BWM in 1996 with Paul Williams and Jamie Mackay, had paid $6.5 million three years ago when buying from the former Bank of Queensland chief Stuart Grimshaw.
The four-level Chinamans Beach home, with a private beach, was designed by architect Guy De Compiegne.
It has five bedrooms and four bathrooms.
It’s a return to the neighbourhood for the Flemings who previously owned on the dress circle Shellbank Avenue before selling in late 2017 for $11.05 million.
Parriwi Road prices have reached $10.1 million, with only a couple of sales per year. An $8.55 million sale was recently secured by the Barros family.
Belgiovane has lived in Mosman before. He sold his renovated Balmoral slopes home for $5,575,000, well over double his $2.46 million purchase price in 2011.

Manhattan Homes boss Nathan Johnson and his barrister­ wife Jess Glancey reckon the sunken lounge is making a comeback, and concrete floors are highly desired.
These are two of the striking features of their family home at Grasmere, near Camden, which has come onto the market as the family seek out a seachange.
The six-bedroom, five-bathroom house on a 2.75 hectare block comes with home theatre, gourmet kitchen, billiard­ room, pool, spa and sauna. There are also separate two-bedroom guest premises.
<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/2019/11/18/grasmere%201%201.jpg" alt="">
Stuart Davies and Mark Inglis, from Davies Inglis Property Camden, are seeking offers until November 20.
They think the buyer will be someone with an extended family, who loves to entertain and wants to have the acreage lifestyle, knowing they also have a future investment as they can subdivide any time.
The couple purchased the property from Jess’s parents.
“Mum and Dad built their dream home and we moved here when I was five,” she said.
“We grew up here riding motorbikes and horses.
“Dad planted all the trees as seedlings and now they’re beautiful, big trees. So there was definitely nostalgia.”
<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/2019/11/18/grasmere%202%201.jpg" alt="">
They purchased the subdivision lot with the original family home and embarked on their five-year journey of planning and building their new home.
“It was definitely a full circle moment for me ­having ­my kids sleep in my childhood bedroom in the old house before we knocked it down,” Jess said.
“It’s so exciting seeing your vision come to life.
“I remember the day they installed the chandelier was an absolute wow moment. It was the final thing to complete­ the house.
“I described it like someone had put earrings on my home.” 
<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/2019/11/18/grasmere%203%201.jpg" alt="">
Nathan says his business, Manhattan Homes has taken design cues from the house.
He has a package called 'Manhattan Industrial' that features polished concrete floors and exposed steel.
“The next step for us is a seachange,” he said.
“We’ve always been drawn to acreage and the peaceful rural life but we feel like we want to try something different.
“Somewhere coastal, but we haven’t chosen any particular­ location just yet.”

Housing design company Pettit &amp; Sevitt co-founder Brian Pettit has died at the age of 85.
With Ron Sevitt, he founded <a href="https://www.pinterest.com.au/adamharrispin/pettit-%2B-sevitt-ken-woolley-merchant-builders-grae/" target="_blank">the affordable housing design company</a> in the early 1960s.
Some 3500 Pettit &amp; Sevitt project homes for mostly middle-class aspirational buyers were designed and built by the company until it closed in the late 1970s.
The duo had met at ­Sun-Line Homes.
In collaboration with architect Ken Woolley they helped pioneer the open-plan living trend.
Last month a Pettit &amp; Sevitt-designed home at Bilgola Plateau (pictured below) sold for $1.55 million through agent Simon Gourlay.
<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/2019/11/18/bilgola%201%201.jpg" alt="">
It had last sold for $400,000 in 1997, having had only two owners since being built by a flight traffic officer.
Val Sevitt, the widow of Ron, is putting together three updated designs set for marketing next year.
“Pettit &amp; Sevitt was a quirky name which people still fondly remember,” she said yesterday.

Financial services company director Patrick Allaway and wife Elizabeth are selling in Mosman.
Allaway, who has recently taken on the role as Bank of Queensland chairman, paid $3.1 million for the property in 2017.
They’ve since renovated the 1920s semi, now with dark timber floorboards and a modern alfresco deck on its 385 square metre parcel.
It was their fourth Mosman abode, something of a bolthole from their Avalon Beach base.
In 2012, they sold their long-held Mosman trophy home to UBS merchant banker Matthew Grounds and his wife, Kimberly Simpson-Morgan, for $14.05 million.
LJ Hooker Avnu agents Michael Coombs and Eliza Fitzpatrick have initial $3m hopes for the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home that goes to auction on November 23.

Veteran film producer and marketer Glenys Rowe has listed her longtime Coogee bolthole.
She bought the Beach Street property for $790,000 in 1994.

Resplendent with rear passionfruit vines, the four-bedroom home has been an investment in recent years since Rowe has settled in Adelaide.
Ballard Property agents James Ball and Alexandra Anthony had an initial $4 million guide for its November 23 auction, but this has been raised to $4.2 million.
<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/2019/11/8/coog%202%201.jpg" alt="">
Realestate.com.au calculates Coogee’s median house price sits at $2.46 million, based on just 27 sales over the past year.

The Potts Point apartment of the late international model Annalise Braakensiek has been quietly sold by the executor of her estate.
The $635,000 sale was slightly higher than the $600,000 Braakensiek had paid for the one-bedroom apartment just a few months before her death earlier this year.
The apartment, on Victoria Street, was set to be a bolthole for the jetsetting model who divided her time between Europe and the US.
<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/2019/11/8/Screen%20Shot%202019-11-08%20at%207.jpg" alt="">
The Sunday Telegraph reported she left her estate to friends and family but nothing to her estranged husband, Danny Goldberg.
She had planned to decorate the 53 square metre unit, in a recently refurbished 1980s complex, with Balinese accents.

Following its completion by its owner architect Daniel Ash, The Spring Farm in the Yarra Valley, north of Melbourne, has been listed for sale.
Abercromby's Armadale agents Robert Macarthur and Ada Taylor have the listing.
Four years ago Ash, who runs Daniel Ash Architects in Burnley, bought The Spring Farm in Gruyere for $1.34 million.

All that stood on the 21 hectare parcel was a 50 year old solid brick homestead and a few cattle yards.
Now there's a four bedroom, four bathroom designer residence with its own gym.

The grounds come with an outdoor stone fireplace and a 25 metre solar heated wet edge pool and spa.
The homes for the horses are as equally impressive.
There's an architect designed barn with eight over-sized stables with Comfort Stall rubber flooring, a hot wash and dedicated tack, feed and rug rooms.

Former Carlton &amp; United Breweries boss Ari Mervis has bought a block of flats on Bondi’s Ben Buckler, paying $9.09 million for a modernised art deco block of five units on the dress circle Ramsgate Avenue.
The 1930s block was renovated by architect Brian Meyerson of MHN Design Union with interiors by Jo Lawless.
Ray White secured the sale in conjunction with Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agent Alexander Phillips.
The five apartments comprise two-bedroom garden apartments, two-bedroom middle level units and a three-bedroom penthouse.
The block isn’t far from Mervis’s penthouse-style apartment in the Pacific Bondi on Campbell Parade, which he bought for $3,897,000 in 2016, and where he lives with wife Jo-anne.
Buying whole Bondi Beach apartment blocks has been a trend this year.
Marnie Lewis-Millar and her husband Bruce Millar, managing director of real estate consultancy group Millar Financial, have spent $8.65 million on a North Bondi block of 12 units.
And film director turned property developer Rebel Penfold Russell has her new project, having spent $4.8 million on a block of four apartments, also on Ramsgate Avenue.

Tom Burgess, who will be the only Burgess brother to pull on green and red next year for the Rabbitohs, is now selling both his Little Bay apartments.
It comes after the first-time dad and his partner, model Tahlia Giumelli had their first daughter Sophie in August.
He initially put his investment pad on the market last month, with hopes of $975,000.
Now he’s decided to also sell the penthouse which they have called home since moving from Coogee.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse with two wrap-around entertaining areas cost $1,405,000.
NG Farah agent Beau Champion, who previously played alongside the brothers at the Rabbitohs, is seeking $1.5 million.
Tom’s twin brother George, who is moving back to the UK with wife Joanna and their three kids, offloaded his $1.35 million investment in the same block last December.
He got the same price he paid off the plan in 2015.
The twins had attended the VIP launch of the development as guests of the then McGrath Projects boss Dennis Vertzayias.
Big brother Sam still retains a foothold in the building, having failed to find a buyer for his $955,000 purchase.
Sam’s Maroubra matrimonial home is likely to hit market soon.

Jeweller and sculptor Robert Clerc and wife Samara have listed their Bellevue Hill home after completing its stunning renovation.
The society couple paid $3.75 million for the dated 1960s home when the freestanding, two level property was described as a renovation project during its 2015 marketing.

The Bellevue Hill trophy home had been the long-held home of the late Veronica Strasser, widow of the property developer Sir Paul Strasser, the father of modern property development in Australia.
Now the four-bedroom abode has a marketing campaign that hails it as reminiscent of mid-century mansions in the Hollywood Hills. Indeed it now looks something akin to a Slim Aarons poolside setting.
The resort-style swimming pool is flanked by private alfresco areas that open from the glass-walled living and dining spaces.

There are new floorboards, a state of the art Carrara marble kitchen, as well as a second kitchen, and four designer ensuite bathrooms.
Raine &amp; Horne Double Bay agent Jane Schumann and son Samuel have the listing with $7 million hopes.
Clerc’s previous homes include an 1830s Double Bay cottage sold for $5.54 million. The picturesque Mort Cottage with white ornate gables on Ocean Ave was modernised by Thomas Jacobsen Architects.
Clerc gained international attention when he was commissioned to create a two-tonne steel sculpture of a scarab beetle for singer Tina Turner’s boyfriend, Erwin Bach.
