Melbourne developer Spacious Group has completed Voyage Altona, one of the closest new apartment developments to Altona Beach.

Off the plan purchasers have started moving into the 49-apartment project on Pier Street, with the remaining move-in-ready one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments starting from just over $500,000.

Display apartments have now been fitted out, allowing prospective buyers to inspect the completed residences by appointment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112195 project_image_fid=372638]

The completed apartments feature open-plan living and dining areas which extend onto private balconies and terraces, while full-height glazing maximises natural light throughout the interiors.&nbsp;

Hybrid timber-look flooring, stone benchtops, Miele appliances, porcelain-tiled bathrooms and generous storage feature throughout the building which also features landscaped communal areas, expansive shared terraces, lift access and secure on-grade parking.

Drawing inspiration from its bayside setting, Voyage adopts a restrained palette of warm neutral tones and textured finishes. Many of the apartments take advantage of views across Port Phillip Bay, while the indoor-outdoor living spaces have been designed to make the most of the coastal outlook.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112195 project_image_fid=3286]

Voyage was developed to address what Spacious Group identified as an undersupply of higher-quality apartment product in Altona, with a focus on owner-occupiers looking to remain within the bayside community.

"Voyage responds to very strong local buyer demand for quality, owner-occupier-focused product," says Barry Plant Projects Director Jarrod Farey, who has handled sales since the project's launch.

"The project delivers an elevated lifestyle proposition, with its design and quality of finish far exceeding anything previously produced in the area, as well as its proximity to Pier Street Village and the beach."

The majority of purchasers have been local downsizers and owner-occupiers looking to stay within the Altona community but who previously had limited opportunities to buy a brand-new apartment.

Homecorp has secured approval for a $360 million apartment development at Budds Beach, paving the way for one of the Gold Coast's most amenity-rich residential projects to launch later this year.

Gold Coast City Council has approved Lýon Residences, a 32-level tower that will deliver 178 two and three-bedroom apartments across a prominent corner site at 8-10 Acacia Avenue and 25-27 Oak Avenue.

The approval comes as developers continue to invest in premium lifestyle-driven apartment projects on the Gold Coast, where owner occupiers are increasingly prioritising amenity as much as apartment size and location.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/l-on-residences-25-27-oak-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Lýon Residences</a> has been designed around a resort-style wellness offering, headlined by a Moroccan-inspired spa precinct featuring treatment rooms, a Nordic sauna and steam room, hot and cold plunge pools, a soaking pool and a residents-only juice bar.

The rooftop will include a heated infinity pool and spa, residents' lounge with private kitchen and bar, gymnasium, yoga and Pilates studio, outdoor entertaining areas and barbecue facilities overlooking the Surfers Paradise skyline.

<img alt="Lyon" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2d3e29af-8793-486e-a684-52cef862241f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-15%20at%204.32.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ayG2zpLf3SS6Zy8XmKDcQods4kVWb0gm" />

Homecorp Founder and CEO Ron Bakir said Budds Beach provided the ideal location for the company's latest luxury apartment project.

"Budds Beach represents one of the most unique and sought-after pockets of the Gold Coast, and Lýon Residences has been designed to reflect that sense of rarity and refinement," Bakir said.

The project arrives as wellness continues to become a defining feature of new residential developments both in Australia and internationally.

The latest Global Wellness Institute figures show wellness real estate remains the fastest-growing segment of the global wellness economy and is forecast to exceed $1.8 trillion by 2030. Australia continues to rank among the world's 15 largest wellness real estate markets, with developers increasingly integrating health, recreation and community facilities into apartment projects.

Queensland is also experiencing strong population growth, with the Gold Coast continuing to outperform many other Australian cities as demand for new housing remains elevated ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Bakir said the project had been designed to respond to that shift in buyer expectations.

"Strong population growth and sustained demand across the Gold Coast continue to highlight the need for well-designed new housing supply. Lýon Residences responds directly to this demand while setting a new benchmark for residential living," he said.

Each apartment has been designed to maximise views across the coastline, the Nerang River and the Gold Coast hinterland.

Located just minutes from Surfers Paradise beach and the Broadwater, the development also offers easy access to the light rail network, Broadbeach and Burleigh Heads.

Early site works are underway, with construction expected to commence later this year.

New apartment developments with uninterrupted, north-facing views over Perth's Swan River are exceptionally rare.

Recognising just how limited those opportunities are, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/edge-visionary-living">Edge Visionary Living</a>, one of Perth's most respected builder-developers, targeted <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/applecross-wa-6153">Applecross</a>, assembling an unrepeatable 6,342 sqm riverfront site on the corner of Moreau Mews and Canning Beach Road to create one of Perth's only new north-facing apartment developments directly overlooking the Swan River.

Today, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/riviere-residences-applecross-59-canning-beach-road-applecross-wa-6153">Rivière Residences</a> offers buyers a unique opportunity to choose between completed residences ready to move into now and off-the-plan homes in the final stage, Rivière West.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28384 project_image_fid=3823]

Across the completed East and Central buildings, residents are already enjoying the development's luxury amenity, while two of the precinct's hospitality venues are now open.

The completed component of the development gives buyers the advantage of experiencing the finished product firsthand, including its uninterrupted river views, while still having the opportunity to secure a residence in the final stage.

"People are wowed by the view and the quality of the apartments,"&nbsp;Edge Visionary Living Sales Executive, Holly McSweeney, says.

"They're looking for the convenience of lock-and-leave living, but they're not looking to downsize on quality."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28384 project_image_fid=3826]

The rarity of the development hasn't been lost on prospective buyers, McSweeney says.

For McSweeney, it all comes back to a location that is becoming increasingly difficult to replicate.

"Location, location, location," she says. "We are nestled right on the front of the Swan River. You can never get built out, so wherever you are in Rivière Residences, you've got views of the river forever."

The unique waterfront position has resonated particularly strongly with local downsizers. McSweeney says many buyers are long-time Applecross residents looking to transition from large family homes into a luxury apartment without sacrificing space, quality or the lifestyle they've enjoyed for decades.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/N_FowNW0wu8?si=vb25XFq1wZ-iufAW" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

A major focus for Edge in recent years has been resident amenity. Across its apartment portfolio, from beachfront developments in Scarborough to luxury towers in South Perth, the developer has increasingly invested in the spaces beyond the apartment itself.

The strategy has largely been shaped by downsizer demand. Many buyers are moving from large family homes with swimming pools and established gardens. While they're looking to leave the maintenance behind, they don't want to compromise on lifestyle.

At Rivière, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/hillam-architects">Hillam Architects</a> designed the resident facilities as an extension of each apartment. A 25-metre heated swimming pool takes advantage of the north-facing river outlook, complemented by a large gym, sauna and steam rooms, private dining spaces, residents' lounges, a cinema, games room, and dedicated wine and whisky rooms.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28384 project_image_fid=372542]

The waterfront location has also proved to be a major drawcard. Residents are within walking distance of the Raffles Hotel, South of Perth Yacht Club, the Heathcote Cultural Precinct and the cafés, restaurants and boutiques along Ardross Street.

Beyond the location and amenity, McSweeney says many buyers take confidence from Edge's fully integrated development model.

Having delivered apartments across Perth for decades, Edge now designs, develops and constructs its projects in-house, giving the company greater control over quality, delivery and the finished product.

"What I love is when people walk through their apartment for the first time and say, 'This is better than what we imagined,'" McSweeney says. "We hear that all the time."

Completed apartments in the East and Central buildings are now available to inspect by appointment, while Rivière West, the final stage of the precinct, is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2027.

North-facing Swan River views drive demand at Rivière Residences in Applecross

Nearly 60 per cent of apartments at McNab Group's $220 million The Tannery development in Brisbane's West End have sold ahead of the project's public launch, including a suburb-record $2.57 million sale for a two-bedroom apartment.

The early sales campaign has secured buyers for 50 of the project's 87 apartments, highlighting continued demand for larger owner-occupier apartments that combine generous floorplans with premium lifestyle amenities in one of Brisbane's most tightly held inner-city suburbs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374768]

McNab Group Executive Chairman Michael McNab said selling more than half the project before launch reflected changing buyer expectations.

"Selling more than half the project before public sales open tells us buyers are actively seeking apartments that offer something genuinely different," McNab said.

"Today's buyers are looking beyond four walls. They want homes that genuinely enhance the way they live, with spaces that support health, connection and everyday wellbeing."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374767]

A key point of difference for the project is the adaptive reuse of the heritage-listed Dixon's Tannery building, which will become The Retreat, a residents-only wellness precinct rather than being redeveloped into additional apartments.

The Retreat will feature a sauna and steam room, hot and cold plunge pools, a commercial-grade gym, Pilates studio, cinema, library, co-working spaces and private dining room. Rooftop amenities will include a swimming pool, landscaped gardens, outdoor entertaining areas and dog-friendly spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374760]

Designed by Cottee Parker Architects with interiors by Tom Mark Henry and landscape architecture by Aspect Studios, The Tannery comprises 87 two, three and four-bedroom apartments across 11 levels overlooking the Brisbane River.

Cottee Parker principal Dee Passenger said preserving the original tannery building had been central to the project's design.

"The easy option would have been to maximise the site's development potential with additional apartments. Instead, McNab has chosen to preserve the original tannery as a shared wellness retreat, ensuring this important piece of Brisbane's history remains at the heart of the community."

Passenger said sustainability also played a key role in the design, with materials from the original industrial site salvaged and repurposed throughout the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374761]

Motiv CEO Carly Cottam said buyers had responded strongly to the combination of larger apartments, wellness facilities and the West End lifestyle.

"We are seeing more buyers looking for homes in the sky that provide the space and functionality of a traditional home, while benefiting from the convenience and lifestyle that apartment living brings," Cottam said.

She said purchasers included both owner occupiers and investors, with demand coming from local buyers as well as interstate purchasers.

Coinciding with the public launch, McNab also announced a partnership with Queensland Ballet, whose neighbouring Thomas Dixon Centre shares historical ties with the original Dixon family.

Located on a 4,465 sqm site at 439 Montague Road, The Tannery overlooks the Brisbane River and is around 10 minutes from the CBD.

Construction is underway, with completion expected in the second half of 2027.

Iwan Sunito's vision for a landmark mixed-use precinct in Sydney's Inner West has taken a major step forward, with approval granted for the $1.9 billion Five Dock development first unveiled earlier this year.

The approved scheme by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/one-global-capital">One Global Capital</a> will deliver an 80,500 sqm mixed-use precinct comprising 840 apartments, integrated hotel accommodation, commercial and retail space, alongside publicly accessible open space designed to create a new destination for the growing suburb.

"This is a significant milestone for One Global Capital and for the future of housing delivery in Sydney," Sunito said.

"The Housing Delivery Authority was established to identify major housing projects capable of delivering meaningful supply more efficiently, and we are delighted that Spencer Street has been recognised as one of those projects.”

He said the declaration reflected the rapid progress achieved since acquiring control of the site.

"In less than seven months we have progressed from taking control of the site to securing entry into one of the NSW Government's most important planning pathways. It reflects the experience of our team, the strength of our consultant group led by Urbis, and our long-term commitment to delivering transformational projects that contribute to Sydney's future."

When the project was revealed earlier this year, Sunito described the opportunity as one of the strongest development sites he had worked on.

"I probably hadn't appreciated the uniqueness of the site until more recently when putting together the concept plans," Sunito said.

"The proximity to the water, and the golf course opposite, is unlike any other part of Parramatta Road. We have a unique position and view corridors over the water that makes this one of the best sites I've worked on."

The development has evolved since its initial announcement, with the approved plans increasing the residential component from the originally proposed 750 apartments to 840 homes while retaining the project's focus on creating an integrated neighbourhood rather than a standalone residential development.

The precinct will combine apartments with hotel accommodation, commercial workplaces, retail offerings and public spaces, creating a mixed-use environment intended to serve both residents and the broader Five Dock community. The proposal also continues the collaboration between One Global Capital and internationally recognised architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/koichi-takada-architects">Koichi Takada</a>, whose previous work with Sunito includes Infinity, Arc and Skye North Sydney.

Takada previously said the design was driven by a philosophy of integrating nature into the built environment.

"The concept for this development is born from our design approach to naturalising architecture," Takada said.

"The public realm benefits from biophilic design that integrates generous landscaping, and the development is optimised for natural daylight, airflow and water views to foster wellbeing, sustainability and spaces that foster community interaction."

Sunito has consistently described the project as a "city within a city", with a strong emphasis on creating a destination that extends beyond housing.

"We want to create a development that's not only to be seen, but to be experienced by the whole local community," he said.

The approval comes as Five Dock continues its transformation ahead of the opening of the Sydney Metro West line, with the new Five Dock station set to significantly improve connections between the Inner West, Parramatta and the Sydney CBD.&nbsp;

The precinct will also benefit from its proximity to the Parramatta Road corridor, nearby waterfront parklands and established retail and dining offerings that have made Five Dock one of Sydney's most tightly held Inner West suburbs.

Interior des­igner grandads Mitch Edwards and Mark Mc­Kie, who starred in The Block 2019, are trying again to flip their North Bondi project which didn’t find a buyer last year.
The duo paid $855,000 for the 80sqm, two-bedroom apartment in mid-2018, and then revamped the decor.
It’s now back up for sale with just a few further tweaks by the professional property flippers, who have made it a bit more beachy.
Theirs has been the only sale in the tightly held Hardy St block of 16 in the past five years.
Vicki Laing and Steven Bullock at Laing Real Estate have a guide of $900,000, which saw it attract strong interest from first-home buyers at its initial open for inspection yesterday.
“There were no investors,” Laing advised.
North Bondi currently has 13 apartments for sale. Its ­median unit prices over the past year has been $1,250,000, with investment apartments typically being rented for $688 a week, reflecting a 2.9 per cent rental yield.
Based on five years of sales, realestate.com.au calculates North Bondi has seen 6 per cent compound unit price growth.
The duo’s renovation in late 2018 saw them rip up the tired carpet to highlight its whitewash floorboards. There was also a new kitchen, with a wall knocked through so it is now part of the open plan living and dining area.
The apartment has been their home base before and after the television series.
Mitch and Mark brought controversy to The Block last year when they ended up finishing last among the contestant couples, albeit pocketing $384,000 when their terrace home sold for $3.374 million after the conversion of St Kilda’s Oslo Hotel.
Mitch and Mark, who had been backed as favourites ­before the Channel 9 series began given their extensive renovation history, lost out to Queensland newlyweds Tess and Luke Struber, who took home $730,000 after their ­terrace soared past its auction reserve.
The Sydney couple had pocketed $3.5 million in gains from their resales of properties over the prior 14 years, excluding $560,000 in stamp duties plus estate agent and conveyancing fees.
Their latest abode project was bought after the show finished last year when they paid $1.7 million for a four-bedroom 1970s home at Newport with an elevated position and views to the coast.
They recently interrupted their own project to assist Married At First Sight couple Cameron Merchant and wife Jules Robinson who needed a makeover after they spent $1,806,000 on a family home in Cromer.

Just days after celebrity chef Bill Granger closed his Darlinghurst cafe, the vacated space has been listed for an October 22 auction.
The corner shop, along with a seven-room boarding house, last traded in 1999 at $960,000. The listing is under instructions from HoganSprowles, the administrator of its Mittagong-based landlord company.
Granger has been in Liverpool St since 1993, with his last registered lease struck in 2013 at $103,000 a year.
Bill and his wife Natalie Elliott live in London with their three daughters after selling at Bronte for $3.4 million in 2014 and in Tamarama for $6.4 million in 2016.
The international chain operates locally at Surry Hills and Bondi, where its move into the Toga-built project came shortly after it closed in Woollahra in 2014.
The whispers are that Toga wants Bills at its latest project, The Hunter in Double Bay, but nothing has been signed.
“There’s been a lot to grapple with these past few months and we think it’s best to close Darlinghurst for a while to focus on Surry Hills and Bondi,” Granger’s Instagram posting advised.
“Obviously, there are lots of restrictions that make life that little bit tougher. Restaurants are not made for social distancing!”
The inopportune marketing by Colliers still suggests the property offered an “ideal ­defensive mix of tenancies” ­despite Bills’ closure.

INXS guitarist Tim Farriss and his wife Bethany have listed their two-bedroom, two-bathroom Fairlight apartment for October 3 auction.
Clarke &amp; Humel have the leafy courtyard offering set within The Fairlight, the refur­bished 1920s complex on Fairlight Crescent.
<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/2020/9/14/fairlight%203.jpg" alt="">
Its picture windows frame leafy outlooks towards the harbour, and its covered travertine-tiled courtyard comes with a water feature.
It is in a block of six which saw its last sale at $1,585,000 two years ago.
<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/2020/9/14/fairlight%202.jpg" alt="">
The couple bought their apartment for $1.1 million in 2014.
Last month they sold Willabrook, their longtime Upper Kangaroo River ­retreat to film directors George Miller and his wife Margaret Sixel.
The $4.35 million Shoalhaven farm, which averaged a 30 -breeder carrying capacity, had been featured on Better Homes &amp; Gardens.

Former independent Member for Wentworth Dr Kerryn Phelps and wife Jackie Stricker-Phelps are again seeking buyers for their Potts Point ­investment apartment.
They initially put the two-bedroom apartment in The Rex building up for sale last year, but it was pulled from its December auction, when they were seeking $1.68 million.
This time round Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agent Debbie Donnelley has a $1.45 million to $1.55 million price guide for its October 8 auction.
The apartment has two levels with 127sqm space with views across Fitzroy Gardens and a car space.
The couple paid $715,000 in 2008, which was less than its $780,000 off-the-plan price in the block ­designed by Burley Katon Halliday in 2004.
There was a $1.4 million two-bedroom sale last month which was first sold at $750,000 in the Denis O’Neil-developed complex.
The couple will be hoping to ride the wave of price growth that has seen Dame Nellie Melba’s former old-style Macleay St apartment nearby under offer for a rumoured $6.625 million.
The apartment last sold for $4 million in 2016, but there had since been an ­extensive Xavier Hinde renovation, which included the purchase and utilisation of roof space, by the Burrell family from Adelaide.
Melba’s residency was in the early 1930s.

Channel 7 Morning Show co-host Larry Emdur is seeking to offload two near coastal ­investments.
There’s a 50sqm North Bondi apartment (pictured above) located in a 1930s art deco block of 12.
The one-bedroom has a living space with an ornamental fireplace, which has been renovated since Emdur paid $318,000 back in 2001 when he was hosting The Price is Right.
It was last advertised for tenants at $650 a week in 2018.
The last one-bedroom sale in the Brighton Boulevard block of 12 secured $1.06 million in 2017.
A Glen St, Bondi, apartment (pictured below), also recently updated, has two bedrooms, a stone kitchen and a new bathroom with bathtub.
<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/2020/9/14/bondi.jpg" alt=""> 
It has a guide of $1.1 million, having been bought for $400,000 in 2001. It has been rented out at $850 a week.
Larry and wife Sylvie are spending more time at their ­Berowra weekender which they’ve been renovating since paying $1.1 million last year.
Accessible by boat, the architecturally designed home was built in 2013.
They sold their clifftop Dover Heights home for a suburb record of $11.2 million in 2017 to accountant Anthony Bell, and then secured a $3 million newly converted heritage apartment in The Rocks.
Emdur has hosted Seven’s The Morning Show alongside Kylie Gillies since 2007, but has been on our screens since the early 1980s, when he was 17.
After moving from Melbourne as a baby, Emdur grew up near the beach.
Their estate agent son Jye told The Wentworth Courier his parents were set to reinvest the proceeds of two off-market listings.
They will retain a Bondi Beach unit bought for $375,000 in 1992.

Mike and Megan Fishwick have sold their mid-century modernist-inspired Suffolk Park home. 
The stunning homebuild, minutes from Byron Bay, featured last year on Grand Designs Australia.
The First National Byron Bay agent Tara Torkkola secured the snappy sale at $2.1 million just under the $2.2 million price guidance.
The 800 sqm building block was sold in 2017 for $645,000 in the Seacliffs rainforest ­estate developed by Jonathan Levy’s Unison Projects.
Mike, a clothing designer for a local street/surfwear label, and Megan, founder of Feel Good Revolution took their inspiration from the internationally ­acclaimed 1951 Ludwig Mies van der Rohe-designed Illinois weekender for Dr Edith Farnsworth.
The couple lived in a caravan with their three children for almost a year while undertaking the project. The Foxtel LifeStyle channel presenter Peter Mad­dison suggested it was “a uniquely Aussie version of a modernist building”.
“It’s incredible because they’ve put so much energy into creating a most ­unlikely building given their budget,” Maddison said.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house features an outdoor pool, entertainment deck and a large carport. The kitchen, covered in handcrafted kitchen tiles, includes a cafe-style rangehood and spacious dining with a bespoke dining nook.
There’s a $1.2m median house price at Suffolk Park which has 18 properties for sale. Based on five years of sales, Suffolk Park has seen a compound growth rate of 10 per cent for houses, according to realestate.com.au. The median has been above $1m since 2016.

<h2>Property loving Manly Sea Eagle star Jake Trbojevic has bought ­another property on the northern beaches. And it’s back in Narrabeen, where his real estate purchasing began six years ago.</h2>
He’s just spent $1,555,000 on a garden apartment in the modernised The Bathers block, just off the beach.
The 260sqm unit comes with oversized glass doors leading to an alfresco ­entertaining space, with level lawn.
<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/2020/9/14/narrabeen%202.jpg" alt="">
There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as two parking spaces.
The unit has nearly trebled in price since it sold off the plan for $550,000 in 1999, a year before the block of 10 was ­completed.
Upstate agents Lachlan Yeates and Kirsten Bertram secured the sale.
<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/2020/9/14/narrabeen%203.jpg" alt="">
It’s the first property purchase for a Trbojevic for two years when Jake and brother Tom each spent $964,000 on a house-and-land ­package in the same Warriewood ­development.
Jake, the elder of the two brothers by two years, got on to the property ladder first in 2014, spending $680,000 for a two-bedder in Narrabeen.

Stuntman and film director Nash Edgerton has bought a family home in Sydney. The Randwick home will be the base for him and Carla Ruffino.
Blacktown-born Edgerton snapped up the home just two weeks into its ­marketing for $3,565,000.
It was the home of Adam Chimes, the director at Chase Gallery, and wife Tayla. The Chimes had paid $1.64 million for the 1910 home in 2014 and undertook a full-scale renovation two years ago.
Retaining original fixtures, the modernised single-level home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms on its 360sqm block. The kitchen and family area opens to an entertainers’ deck that meets a heated 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/2020/9/21/randwick%202.jpg" alt="">
The Blacket Agency’s Peter and Jacqueline Blacket secured the quick sale, which came with approval to add a second level, which Edgerton seems set on undertaking.
Edgerton has recently completed work on Chasing Wonders, a coming-of-age film set across the lush wine country of Spain and Australia.
Edgerton is also directing the FX Australia black comedy-drama series Mr Inbetween.

Film director Nash Edgerton buys Randwick family home

Channel 7’s Sunrise presenter Sam Armytage has sold her Southern Highlands weekender.
</div>
She has secured a $3.1m off-market buyer for the Burrawang cottage, in a deal well up on her $2.2m purchase price from three years ago.
Armytage also sold her North Bondi home for $3.15m in July, just a month after her June engagement to Richard Lavender, a Quirindi-born equestrian ­businessman.
It would suggest Armytage intends living with her fiance at his longtime Berrima estate elsewhere in the Highlands.
He celebrated his 61st birthday on Saturday with Sam turning 43 on Friday.
The couple met at a friend’s 60th birthday party in the Highlands in April last year.
There’d been no development application to the five-bedroom, five-bathroom cottage during her brief ownership, although she did change the name from Pear Tree Cottage to Churchill.
The 2ha property, which sold through Di Dixon at Belle Property Bowral, has an open-plan kitchen and dining area overlooking paddocks with post-and-rail fencing.
Her redundant North Bondi home was sold to chef Greg Anderson and his wife Patricia Nunes, who had been looking for a new home since selling their St Ives home for $2.08m.
The three-bedroom North Bondi home had been listed with a $2.8m guide, having been bought by Armytage for $2.15m in 2014, just as the Sydney price boom was kicking into gear.
She has been spotted inspecting eastern suburbs rentals, given her commitment to be in Sydney for the breakfast show four days a week.
Her television career began in 1999 and she joined Seven after having impressed executives during her coverage of the 2003 Canberra bushfires.
Armytage grew up in the high country, Snowy River territory, on historic Bolaro Station.

Sam Armytage sells Burrawang retreat

<html><body>
A luxury waterfront home on Lake Macquarie has hit the market. The home was obviously inspired by architect Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House in Illinois, US.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, located at Eraring, is ­expected to sell for $2 million.
Situated on more than 9000sqm, the home exudes a sleek luxury resort minimalism feel, with floor-to-ceiling windows, entertaining deck and pool.
The vendors are theatre production designer Mark Thompson and Kerry Crawford, the CEO of arts and disability organisation Accessible Arts.
Their building block was purchased in 1995 for $225,000, with the grounds including an artist studio where Thompson has painted. In 2009, he was an Archibald finalist for his portrait of actor Greta Scacchi.

McGrath Toukley agents Chris Smith and Mitchell Thomas have scheduled the auction for October 17.
The house is located on the ­western shore of Lake Macquarie and north of the town of Morisset.
Smith last month secured a $6 million Eraring sale when Mandalay, the luxury six-bedroom, six bathroom home, with 14-car garage, ­attracted six registered bidders mainly out of Sydney. A Sydney businessman secured it as a weekender.

Mandalay, which sits on 2.7ha on the tip of the peninsula with 481m of waterfront, was offered by Compass Helicopters boss Graeme Thomas who is moving to a nearby acreage.
He had bought the property five years ago for $1.58 million and ­undertaken a comprehensive modernisation of the estate.
The lakeside record had been $4.25 million when set in January.
Eraring is 30 minutes via helicopter to Sydney airport.
