High-rise developer Level 33 is continuing to venture out of its Wollongong heartland.

The developer, which has several projects completed, underway, and planned in the third-largest city in New South Wales, is heading to Homebush, where it plans to develop more than 300 apartments across two towers.

Like most developers, it has sought approval through the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority, filing a State Significant Development Application for the $127.6 million project.

The DKO-designed towers, 27 and 35 storeys in height, will replace seven detached homes. The apartments will sit above a four-storey podium, which will be crowned with a pool, dining areas, and landscaped spaces.

According to the Urban Design Report prepared by DKO Architecture, the proposal “supports residential growth with housing diversity” and is designed to “create inviting, safe public spaces with strong environmental amenity that encourage social interaction and pedestrian movement”.

Level 33, founded by Eddy Haddad, has thousands of apartments in the pipeline. They have their 500-plus-unit WIN Grand redevelopment, and another 900 units to be developed in replace of the old Bunnings Warehouse on the corner of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/60-74-flinders-street-wollongong">Gipps and Flinders Streets</a>.

They are soon to launch their second stage of their Kogarah development, and will also hope to&nbsp;launch Summit Wollongong, later this year, pending approvals to upsize the development to have over 330 apartments. Also set to hit the market is their boutique Kiama development, Elan.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/consolidated-properties">Consolidated Properties Group</a> (CPG) has unveiled Gloriette, its new 25-storey luxury residential tower set to rise within its Yeerongpilly Green (YG) precinct in Brisbane’s inner south.&nbsp;

Designed by award winning architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/gloriette-30-bedivere-street-yeerongpilly-qld-4105">Gloriette</a> will deliver 181 luxury two- and three bedroom apartments on King Arthur Terrace, offering uninterrupted views across the Brisbane River, Indooroopilly Golf Course and the Brisbane CBD.&nbsp;

The reveal of the project follows its development approval by Brisbane City Council within the evolving <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/yeerongpilly-green-21-queens-way-yeerongpilly-qld-4105">Yeerongpilly Green</a> masterplanned community late last year.&nbsp;

The formal market launch will be later this year.

The name “Gloriette” is drawn from classical European architecture, referring to a garden pavilion traditionally set within palace landscapes.&nbsp;

CPG says its choice reflects Gloriette’s strong connection to landscape, outlook and amenity, with refined architecture complemented by lush gardens, exceptional rooftop facilities and an emphasis on light, views and liveability.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150713 project_image_fid=359985]

Set on a 4,323 sqm site, Gloriette has been designed to integrate with its surroundings, prioritising green space and community connection with more than 2,000 sqm of landscaped gardens to surround the tower, creating privately owned, publicly accessible parkland. Located within one of Brisbane’s 2032 Olympic Games precincts, the development is literally minutes’ walk of the future Olympic tennis venue and the upgraded Yeerongpilly Cross River Rail station.&nbsp;

CPG Head of Residential James MacGinley says Gloriette represents a defining addition to the Yeerongpilly Green precinct.&nbsp;

Gloriette is a natural evolution of Yeerongpilly Green and our commitment to creating places where people genuinely love to live,” MacGinley said.&nbsp;

“The views from Gloriette will be unlike anything else in Brisbane. Elevated northern aspects taking in two reaches of the Brisbane River, Indooroopilly and Brisbane golf courses, the city skyline and Mt Coot-tha are exceptionally rare. We expect buyers will immediately recognise the uniqueness of this opportunity.&nbsp;

“The generous apartment sizes will appeal to people looking to downsize without compromise, offering luxury, spacious, light filled apartment living without the intensity of inner-city congestion.

“Developments like Gloriette also play an important role in addressing Brisbane’s housing needs, with the potential to free up 181 houses for local families.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150713 project_image_fid=359988]

Gloriette will complement the award-winning YG Riverside Village, home to Woolworths, Goodlife Health Clubs, new Doctors surgery and a growing dining precinct that continues to attract locals and visitors alike.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/hutchinson-builders">Hutchinson Builders</a> has been appointed as builder, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> International confirmed as sales agent. A dedicated display suite is scheduled to open for the public launch in the second half of 2026 in a heritage-listed Queenslander opposite the site.&nbsp;

Andrew Scriven, Director of Residential at Colliers International, says buyer interest is already building.&nbsp;

“Gloriette offers a rare opportunity to secure a high-end riverside home within a major lifestyle precinct,” Scriven said.&nbsp;

“We’re inviting buyers to sign up to the VIP list today to receive exclusive updates, early information and priority access ahead of the formal launch.”

Consolidated Properties Group unveils Gloriette in Yeerongpilly Green precinct

Develotek has secured State Significant Development approval for its 34-storey mixed-use tower on the Pacific Highway in Chatswood.

The developer pumped up the height under the in-fill affordable housing uplift to create a 101-unit building with 27 apartments dedicated as affordable. It was previously approved for 89 apartments across a 27-storey tower.

In granting consent, the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure cited the project’s alignment with state and regional planning objectives, including the National Housing Accord and the Chatswood CBD Strategy. It will also pump over $107 million of capital investment into the state, as well as 180 operational jobs and 182 construction jobs.

The site, across <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/691-699-pacific-highway-chatswood-nsw-2067">691-699 Pacific Highway</a>, sits around 500 metres from the Chatswood Transport Interchange and within walking distance of the retail core.

<img alt="Develotek secures approval for 34-storey mixed-use tower on Pacific Highway, Chatswood" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="65261a56-ef10-479b-941a-d4e3f22cd973" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Article%20Feature%20Image%20%28Grid%29%20%281%29_1.png?VersionId=PFN5_svoAwQgHPM1K9XJFlg9BJSfArm0" />

Designed by Squillace Architects, the tower will rise to 117 metres and sit above a two-storey podium and eight basement levels of parking. The residential mix includes one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, with affordable housing to be managed by a registered community housing provider for a minimum of 15 years.

The tower’s built form is characterised by a slender, articulated residential element set above a more robust podium, with commercial uses activating the street edge. Communal amenities are located within the podium and upper levels, including landscaped open space, a pool, gym, and shared facilities, contributing to resident amenity while reinforcing the mixed-use nature of the precinct.

&nbsp;

The approval represents one of the larger residential-led developments to proceed under the NSW Government’s infill affordable housing pathway, reinforcing Chatswood’s role as a high-density employment and residential centre on Sydney’s North Shore.

Chatswood is going through another growth phase, with the likes of Changfa Group, Billbergia, Coronation, Tian An LFD, Bridgestone, and Hyecorp all planning projects in the suburb. The NSW Gov is also proposing a further <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/nsw-gov-landcom-plan-1-500-new-apartments-in-chatswood-cbd">1,500 new homes on the former contruction site of the Sydney Metro</a>.

Develotek secures approval for 34-storey Chatswood tower

Off the plan apartments buyers have started to move into <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/louise-melbourne-8-louise-street-melbourne-vic-3004">Louise</a>, the flagship Albert Park apartment development by local developer Samuel Property.

Construction firm Hamilton Marino has recently completed the two-year build of the 16-storey Louise Street tower, just off St Kilda Road.

Developer Illan Samuel says the project’s strong sales result, with around 90 per cent of apartments sold ahead of its construction completion, is a “good news story for Melbourne”.

“Melbourne hasn’t had the easiest time in the off the plan development space in recent years,” Samuel says, pointing to rising taxes and limited growth in the established property market. However, there are signs of improvement, with build costs having normalised and now “only moving modestly”, and improving sentiment among buyers both local and interstate that Melbourne is the city of opportunity.

Samuel attributes the success of Louise to a combination of the project team, design, location and apartment mix, noting strong investor interest driven by high rental yields and comparatively low body corporate fees.

While only about 20 apartments are currently being leased, they are achieving yields of between 5.5 and 6 per cent.

“The maths show investors are receiving neutral or even positive cash flow on a city-fringe residential asset that has grown by around 5 per cent year on year for the past three years&nbsp;based on our pricing strategy on&nbsp;incremental price rises during construction and sales milestones, while much of the broader market has remained relatively flat,” he says.

<img alt="Samuel" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="79b97c26-6fc6-4887-984a-8de45f0e1e6d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/8-Louise-St-33.jpg?VersionId=Egjy9IyMg5Y9M3X1WTEQU0riRCDAdLVG" />

A handful of apartments remain, with one-beds starting from $595,000, two's from $779,000, and three-beds from $2,445,000. All but one sub penthouses have been sold, and that is priced from just shy of $14 million. It has four bedrooms and five bathrooms across its 600 sqm, and parking for five cars.

Darren Blair from Blair Property Group has handled the sales campaign.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a> designed the 89-unit building, on the fringe of St Kilda Road and Albert Park, to respond directly to its heritage-rich context, where historic mansions and retained period buildings continue to shape the streetscape.&nbsp;

The completed building reflects this influence through its brick façade and art-deco detailing, drawing cues from neighbouring heritage structures while delivering a contemporary residential format suited to modern inner-city living.

<img alt="Cera Stribley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c6067811-6d0d-4057-b77c-2b5fde0a5602" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/8-Louise-St-36.jpg?VersionId=YfEOR_L10AI4JgGDtD_ZjaxeT0DL4PRe" />

Amenities were conceived as an extension of daily life rather than a checklist of inclusions. Residents now have access to a ground-floor pool illuminated by a central skylight, a fully equipped gym, steam room, private dining room, lounge, and a landscaped outdoor terrace that wraps the communal spaces.&nbsp;

The amenity offering reflects a biophilic design approach, with water and greenery used to soften the building’s urban setting and support wellbeing.

Samuel now shifts its focus to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/hali-dromana-105-111-point-nepean-road-dromana-vic-3936">Hali</a>, its beachside townhouse development in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/dromana-vic-3936">Dromana</a>, which has been popular among city dwellers looking for a low-maintenance bolthole on the Mornington Peninsula.

Samuel recently began the construction phase of the&nbsp;73-townhome community, one of the most unique developments the Mornington Peninsula has seen in decades.

Sydney’s Transport Oriented Development applications continue to flood into the NSW Government, as developers seek to trigger the uplift encouraged by the government around the city’s key transport hubs.

The latest State Significant Development application, which is assessed by the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority, is in Carlingford, where a consortium known as the Carlingford Unit Trust has proposed a trio of buildings delivering 136 apartments, 25 of which will be dedicated to affordable housing and managed by Link Wentworth.

The corner site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/241-245-pennant-hills-road-carlingford-nsw-2118">241–245 Pennant Hills Road</a>, near the junction of Pennant Hills and Jenkins roads, is located just 250 metres from the new Carlingford Light Rail station.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/kennedy-associates-architects">Kennedy Associates Architects</a> has designed the three buildings, which will sit above a 98-place childcare centre, six commercial tenancies and a gym. Residents will have access to 2,680 sqm of communal open space across rooftop and podium levels.

&nbsp;

<img alt="241-245 Pennant Hills Road, Carlingford" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d515b5a6-2844-40cb-95da-1e613b49c945" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Carlingford%20Central%20da%203.png?VersionId=..LzSSX12YvB4zX69bBYOJG5gNvk5xN5" />

“The development...will deliver a significant addition to the wider Parramatta region,” Kennedy Associates noted in their Design Report, adding that the project aims to “enrich the street environment and local character of Carlingford”.

The tallest element of the proposal is an 18-storey tower to the northeast of the site (Building A), flanked by two smaller 4–5 storey buildings (Buildings B and C) along the western edge. Basement levels will accommodate 263 car spaces, allocated across residential, commercial, childcare, gym, and visitor use.

Sustainability features include passive solar design, cross ventilation, deep soil zones, and compliance with BASIX and NatHERS benchmarks. Communal open spaces have been designed to enhance residential amenity, with spaces positioned to benefit from solar access and outlooks over the broader district, including potential views to Parramatta and Sydney CBDs.

<img alt="241-245 Pennant Hills Road, Carlingford" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2f638af3-17fd-4e12-aaa2-263a342c01ac" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Carlingford%20Central%20da%202.png?VersionId=UXFl9I0rBSHfNj7QX6ubCsZsPvKJiMxk" />

The development takes advantage of in-fill affordable housing incentives under the State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing) 2021, enabling a 30% uplift in height and floor space in exchange for dedicating at least 15 per cent of GFA to affordable rental housing managed by a registered community housing provider.

Carlingford Unit Trust is backed by Triple Eight Corporation, which owns the consolidated 6,331 sqm site. While the eastern edge of the site is earmarked for partial acquisition by Transport NSW for road widening, the project has been designed around the residual 5,765 sqm parcel.

New apartments in Carlingford have been in short supply. The only recent new development in the area is Blossom, just 41 apartments by Capio Property closer to the town centre.&nbsp;

Auction Volumes

<html><body>
Last week, the combined capital city auction clearance rate held relatively steady, up slightly from 61% the previous week to 61.4%. Of the 2,947 auctions held, CoreLogic RP Data captured 2,683 results, equivalent to a collection rate of 91%.
The two major capital city markets of Sydney and Melbourne are both showing variations in their latest results. While both cities each had a similar number of auctions, 1,204 in Melbourne and 1,248 in Sydney, Melbourne’s clearance rate rose from 65.6% the previous week to 69% last week while Sydney’s clearance rate was down to 58.4% after recording 60.2% the previous week.
The clearance rate for Sydney this week is the lowest seen since the Easter weekend in 2013 and  represents the 9th consecutive week where Melbourne’s clearance rate has been stronger (this shift is highlighted in the graph below).  Between 2010 and mid-2013, it was common for Melbourne’s clearance rate to outperform Sydney’s, however since that time, Sydney’s auction clearance rate has been consistently outperforming until recently.
<a href="/images/2015/11/12/Sydney-vs-Melbourne.jpg" target="_blank">Click to enlarge</a>
<img src="/images/2015/11/12/Sydney-vs-Melbourne.jpg" alt="" width="721" height="274">
For the second week in a row, auction activity across the capital cities is expected to increase, with just over 3,300 auctions currently expected by CoreLogic RP Data, providing plenty of stock for buyers to choose from. Melbourne is expecting 1,563 residential auctions, reflective of conditions seen one year ago when 1,504 auctions were held, while across Sydney 1,270 auctions are being held this week, lower than one year ago (1,417).
Brisbane is set for a busy week, with 207 auctions, compared to 168 last week, while in Adelaide (121 compared to 146), Canberra (97 compared to 122) and Perth (37 compared to 44) auction activity this week will be quieter than last week.
The two busiest suburbs for auction this week are Reservoir, in Victoria with 29 auctions, and Mosman in New South Wales where 20 properties will go under the hammer.

Auction volumes rise again: CoreLogic RP Data's Shana Miller

<html><body>
The combined capital cities are expected to see auction activity ramp up over the week, with a total of 2,593 properties set to go under the hammer, according to CoreLogic data. This week’s scheduled volumes are 24% higher than last week’s final figures which saw 2,085 auctions held. Plus this time last year, a higher 2,804 homes were taken to auction across the combined capitals.

There are over 1,000 homes set to be taken to auction across each of Australia’s two largest auction markets this week. Melbourne is expected to be the busier of the two with 1,153 properties scheduled for auction, an increase of 28% on last week. Sydney isn’t far behind with a total of 1,037 auctions scheduled to take place, an expected rise of almost 20%.

While activity across Melbourne has certainly bounced back from the lows seen throughout most of the second half of the year, volumes are still below 2019 levels with 1,405 homes taken to auction over the same week last year. Meanwhile one year ago in Sydney, volumes were lower at 875.

The remaining smaller markets are all expected to see a rise in activity over the week, with Brisbane set to be the busiest of the smaller cities with 147 auctions scheduled to take place. This is followed by Canberra (115), Adelaide (101), Perth (36) and Tasmania (4).

One example of a property headed to auction in Melbourne this weekend is an apartment at 705/547-551 Flinders Lane. The one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment in Docklands sits on the top floor of Morgan Place. It goes to auction with a guide of between $291,000 and $320,000.

The apartment sits near the Docklands project Melbourne Quarter at 628 Flinders Street, developed by Lendlease. The Fender Katsalidis-designed East Tower has 719 apartments, a mix of one and two bedrooms which are for sale starting from $458,000.

Auction volumes up 20% or more across Melbourne and Sydney 

<html><body>
There are 968 capital city auctions being tracked by CoreLogic this week, increasing on the previous week when 816 auctions were held.
Over the same week last year, 1,983 homes were taken to auction across the combined capitals.
There are 726 Sydney homes scheduled for auction this week, increasing on both last week when 600 Sydney homes were taken to auction, and one year ago, when 646 auctions were held across the city. 
Melbourne auction volumes remain at levels usually only seen over the seasonally quiet early January period with just 14 auctions on the radar this week, compared to 13 last week. Over the same week last year 1,020 auctions were held across the city.
The REIV is expecting about 20 auctions this week, only slightly more than CoreLogic's figures.
Across the smaller auction markets, Canberra is set to hold the most auctions this week (74), followed closely by Adelaide (73). Brisbane is expecting to host 66 auctions, while Perth has 13 auctions on the radar. Once again, Tasmania is set to see just 2 properties up for auction.

Auction activity is set to be lower across the combined capital cities this week as scheduled volumes plummet across Melbourne.
There are 937 capital city auctions being tracked by CoreLogic this week, down from 1,128 auctions last week and the 1,533 held over the same week last year.
In Melbourne, only 30 properties are expected to be auctioned this week as the city enters its fifth week in stage 4 lockdowns. Last week, 162 homes were taken to auction and one year ago 765 auctions were held across the city.
This week is set to be the lowest number of auctions held over a week in Melbourne, outside of the early January period or Easter.
There are 676 Sydney homes scheduled for auction this week, down from 706 last week, and higher than the 528 held one year ago.
Although there are fewer auctions scheduled relative to last week, the number of auctions held across Sydney has been consistently trending higher since mid-May.
Across the smaller auction markets, Canberra is set to hold the most auctions this week (80), followed by Brisbane (65), Adelaide (64) and Perth (18). While Tasmania has 4 auctions scheduled.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2020/9/3/CL%20SEPT%201.JPG" alt="">
Buyer demand remains strong as Australians continue to view property as a safe haven during uncertain times. Throughout August, the Ray White Group conducted 848 auctions with 4.7 average registered bidders per auction, marking an increase on this time last year.
While on the last weekend of August alone, the leading auction agency booked a 66.3 per cent clearance rate and an increase of 1.8 bidders from last year taking the total to 5.4 average bidders.
As Ray White heads into the first weekend of September the group has 126 properties scheduled to go under the hammer. 
Early Saturday morning, buyers will be flocking to the auction of 21 Prince Alfred Pde (pictured in title) in the hopes of securing themselves a slice of Newport paradise.
Tom Fernon and Noel Nicholson of Ray White Prestige (Palm Beach) have overseen the campaign which Mr Fernon described as strong from start to finish.
The four bedroom home has a price guide of $2.2 to $2.4 million.

This weekend, Ray White Blackburn Director Peter Schenck will be auctioning 3 Allison Rd, Mont Albert North from his living room to an audience of online bidders.
Mr Schenck said this will be the office’s first listing marketed entirely in Stage Four lockdown.
“We’ve still been able to take people through a virtual tour done by the vendor and we’re confident the auction will go well,” Mr Schenck said.
“There has been some really solid interest between the $1.1 to $1.2 million mark and we are expecting it to sell on the higher end of that range," he concluded.

The two bedroom apartment at 4/347-349 Trafalgar St, Petersham (pictured above) is also set to fly on Saturday with Ray White NSW CEO Jason Andrew calling the auction.
The Petersham unit is being sold by Ray White Surry Hills | Alexandria | Glebe | Erskineville Associate Director Matthew Carvalho who has given out a price guide of $800,000 to $850,000.
“We’ve had a lot of interest in Petersham, it’s one of those popular inner west suburbs that is going through gentrification at the moment and attracting lots of young professionals and young families,” Carvalho said.

Sydney auction volumes again leaping ahead of Melbourne's Stage 4 slump

<html><body>
There are 1,115 capital city auctions being tracked by CoreLogic this week, down from 1,485 auctions last week which can be in part be attributed to school holidays.
However volumes remained higher than this time last year when just 953 homes were taken to auction. 
In Melbourne, 417 auctions are scheduled across the city this week, down from 645 auctions last week, although higher than volumes from the same week last year (388).
There are 538 Sydney homes scheduled for auction this week, down from 644 last week according to final figures, and higher than the 359 held one year ago.
Across the smaller markets, scheduled volumes are set to fall week on week across Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth and Tasmania, while a higher volume of auctions are scheduled in Canberra this week\

Despite school holidays, Ray White said their auction numbers are holding steady with 175 homes going under the hammer on Saturday.
Particularly busy is Ray White Surry Hills | Alexandria | Glebe | Erskineville where 8 auctions are set to take place. 
Associate Director Matthew Carvalho from the inner Sydney group is auctioning two of those eight with both being called by Ray White NSW CEO Jason Andrew.
First up will be Terrace 9, 269 Trafalgar St, Annandale, (pictured in title) which Mr Carvalho said has attracted both upsizers and downsizers from around Sydney.
“Feedback from buyers has been good and they’re particularly liking the size of the house and that it’s got a double garage plus an extra car space which is almost unheard of in the inner west,” Mr Carvalho said.

Later in the day will be 134 Catherine St, Leichhardt (pictured above) which is currently getting interest from first and second home buyers. Mr Carvalho said space is a big factor for these buyers and the three bedroom Leichhardt home ticks that box.
“It’s a good layout on a great size plot of land. The buyers are predominantly a little bit younger - couples or families with one child,” he said.
“They’re coming out of apartments and upsizing for more space and to get into more of a community which Leichhardt offers.”
Despite recent uncertainty, Mr Carvalho also said he is finding that good properties are still in high demand.
“Supply is still so low particularly for free standing homes but we’re finding when they are on the market, prices and demand are quite strong and will continue to be so until inventory begins to spike,” he said.

Winter may be setting in but lockdown restrictions are continuing to thaw, leading to a rise in auction numbers for this second weekend of June, according to CoreLogic data.
There are 1,179 capital city auctions being tracked by CoreLogic this week, increasing on the 711 auctions last week.
While volumes are expected to be the highest we’ve seen since mid-April, auction activity remains lower than what we would usually see, with 1,505 auctions held over the same week one year ago.
There are 561 Sydney homes scheduled for auction this week, up on the 398 held last week according to final figures, and higher than the 534 held one year ago.
In Melbourne, 467 auctions are scheduled across the city this week, increasing on the 195 auctions last week, however lower than volumes from the same week last year 724.
Across the smaller markets, scheduled volumes are set to remain steady across Perth, while the remaining cities are all expected to see a rise in activity over the week.

The Ray White Surry Hills | Alexandria | Glebe | Erskineville office is heading into the weekend with eight homes going under the hammer on-site.
Examining some highlights, Director Ercan Ersan said the converted warehouse apartment at C80/240 Wyndham St, Alexandria in The Hudson has had 100 groups through and 30 contracts given out.
“It’s the epitome of luxury inner city living designed by the celebrated architects at Allen Jack+Cottier,” Mr Ersan said.
“We’re expecting between 10 and 15 registered bidders and it should break the building record.”
Another standout is 4/11-33 Maddison St (pictured in title) in Redfern with Mr Ersan saying the apartment has one of the best renovations he’s seen.
“We’ve already got five people coming to the auction and it should sell at $1.4 million,” he said.
