Melbourne developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/pdg-corporation">PDG</a> has unveiled its vision for the former Water Tank Site in Ivanhoe, which would see it transformed into a thriving residential neighbourhood, complete with a 2000 sqm public park.&nbsp;

Delivered in partnership with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/development-victoria">Development Victoria</a>, the proposal would transform the prominent corner of Bell Street and Upper Heidelberg Road into a connected community comprising two residential buildings, generous public open space and shared amenities.&nbsp;

The vision includes 287 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with a minimum of 10 per cent allocated to affordable housing, alongside a 2,000-square-metre publicly accessible park featuring a children's playground, activity lawn, indigenous planting, timber climbing logs, seating areas and a rock gathering circle.&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/dko-architecture">DKO Architecture</a>, the proposal draws on the site's industrial heritage, using a robust architectural language that references the former water tank through expressive structural elements and durable, self-finished materials.&nbsp;

Extensive landscaping has been woven throughout the development, creating a living landscape that strengthens connections to nature while responding sensitively to the surrounding neighbourhood. Two residential buildings ranging from three to 12 storeys are linked by a landscaped forecourt, creating a welcoming arrival experience and improving pedestrian connections through the site.&nbsp;

Residents would also enjoy more than 1,000 square metres of communal open space, including barbecue and dining facilities, vegetable gardens, landscaped seating pavilions and a dedicated coworking space.&nbsp;

PDG Founder and Managing Director Vince Giuliano said the vision reflected an opportunity to transform one of Ivanhoe's most recognisable sites into a place that balanced housing, community and landscape.&nbsp;

"This is an opportunity to reimagine an important site and create a neighbourhood that delivers lasting benefits for Ivanhoe," Giuliano said.&nbsp;

"We're creating much more than new homes. The vision brings together affordable housing, quality architecture, meaningful public open space and shared places that encourage people to connect, while respecting the site's history and its place within the local community."&nbsp;

Development Victoria’s Executive General Manager Precincts, Niall Cunningham, said the application is an important step for the government-owned site.&nbsp;

“This is about delivering more homes in a well-connected location, along with public open space that the Ivanhoe community will benefit from for years to come,” Cunningham said.&nbsp;

PDG was selected as development partner in late 2025 following a competitive tender process.&nbsp;

A planning submission for the project is currently being progressed through the Victorian Government's Development Facilitation Program, with positive early engagement from both Banyule Council and the Department of Transport and Planning.

PDG unveils plans to transform landmark Ivanhoe Water Tank Site

Shane Wilkinson's <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/pace-development-group">Pace Development Group</a> has lodged plans for a major residential precinct on the former Presentation College site in Windsor, with an eight-building masterplan ultimately rising to 10 storeys.

The proposal at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/167-dandenong-road-windsor-vic-3181">167–187 Dandenong Road</a> spans a substantial 19,027 sqm site and is being progressed across six stages, with the first residential stages comprising 170 homes across four buildings designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>.

Stage Two will deliver the bulk of the initial housing, with Building A comprising 81 apartments and Building B 49 apartments, both rising to six storeys.

Stage Three will deliver a further 40 homes. The heritage Nagel Building, identified as Building C, will be converted to 12 dwellings, while a new five-storey Building D will comprise 28 apartments at the Hornby Street and Dandenong Road corner.

The 170 homes across Stages Two and Three will include a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, including townhouse-style dwellings.<img alt="First look: Pace plans landscaped housing precinct on former Windsor school site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="83c56e3e-dfb9-4e12-b172-c3f18513ec32" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Article%20Feature%20Image%20%28Grid%29_9.png?VersionId=xRcRpSZsxX.UX_NDDGcRZktw7HVrzx7u" />

&nbsp;

The longer-term masterplan points to considerably greater density across the site.

Indicative plans show Building E accommodating around 80 dwellings across up to 10 storeys, while Building F is earmarked for around 120 dwellings and also up to 10 storeys. Building G is planned to range between four and 10 storeys, however its apartment yield is yet to be determined. That means the masterplan currently identifies at least 370 dwellings across Buildings A to F before any apartments within Building G are counted.

Across the 1.9-hectare site, that represents an indicative density of at least 194 dwellings per hectare, with the final figure to increase once the yield of Building G is established.

Pace is pursuing the project through the Victorian Government's Development Facilitation Program, with Urbis lodging a combined Section 96A planning scheme amendment and planning application on behalf of the developer, which secured the site earlier this year.

The application seeks detailed approval for Stages One, Two and Three, alongside approval of the broader masterplan framework that will guide the later residential stages. Stage One will see an existing heritage building adaptively reused for a wellness and fitness-related facility, while the broader precinct will retain several significant heritage buildings and established trees as part of the redevelopment.

A minimum 10 per cent affordable housing contribution is proposed across both the initial residential stages and the later masterplan stages, delivered through a discounted rental model.

The project comes immediately after a major change to the site's planning controls.

The site was rezoned to the Housing Choice and Transport Zone through Planning Scheme Amendment GC285, gazetted on July 22, 2026, and now sits within the inner catchment of the Windsor Station precinct under the State Government's Train and Tram Zone Activity Centres Program.

While the new controls identify large sites within the inner catchment for buildings of up to six storeys, Pace's masterplan pushes height to 10 storeys in parts of the site, with the taller buildings concentrated toward the centre and along the Sandringham railway corridor.

Lower-scale built form is proposed toward the site's more sensitive residential and heritage edges, with Buildings A and B generally stepping from three storeys at their interfaces to six storeys at upper levels.

Cera Stribley's masterplan breaks the development into a collection of separate buildings rather than a continuous built form, with landscaped spaces, new pedestrian links and a new publicly accessible road forming part of the precinct.

The planning report says the development will create new pedestrian connections to Elm Place and along the railway corridor, as well as a new publicly accessible road linking Elm Place with Dandenong Road. The proposed buildings will occupy around 54 per cent of the site, leaving a substantial portion available for landscaping, communal areas and permeable surfaces.

Urbis said the scale of the project reflected the site's strategic location close to Windsor Station, tram services and the Chapel Street Activity Centre, with the former school campus identified as a significant opportunity to increase housing supply on an underutilised inner-Melbourne site.

First look: Pace plans landscaped housing precinct on former Windsor school site

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/jl-place">JL PLACE</a>'s Veil Brighton is approaching its final months of construction, with the nine-townhouse development at 17 Rooding Street expected to complete in December 2026.

The milestone is bringing the boutique project closer to becoming a finished part of the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/brighton-vic-3186">Brighton</a> streetscape, with much of Brighton's everyday amenity within a short walk.

Palace Cinema, Coles Supermarket and North Brighton Station are all around five minutes on foot from <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/veil-brighton-17-rooding-street-brighton-vic-3186">Veil</a>, alongside numerous cafés, restaurants and bars. The station provides a direct rail connection toward Melbourne's CBD, while Bay Street and the wider Brighton retail and dining network add to the range of services accessible without relying on a car for every trip.

"The location was fundamental to the project. Brighton is an established suburb where many buyers already have strong connections to the area and want to remain close to the people, places and amenities that form part of their everyday life," the developer said.

"Veil sits in a highly walkable part of Brighton, with a Walk Score of 90/100."

For buyers looking to right-size within Bayside, that level of walkability adds to the appeal of a more manageable way of living. Everyday shopping, dining, entertainment and public transport can be accessed without relying on the car for every trip, while residents remain connected to the places and routines that make Brighton familiar. It allows buyers to simplify day-to-day life without giving up the convenience, amenity and connections they already value.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7877 project_image_fid=355754]

As completion approaches, the architecture, landscaping and material palette are progressively becoming visible on site, giving prospective purchasers a clearer view of the finished development beyond its plans and renders.

Veil comprises nine townhouses, predominantly three-bedroom homes with between 2.5 and 3.5 bathrooms, two car spaces and, depending on the residence, study areas and private outdoor space. Selected homes include a bedroom on the ground floor.

Veil occupies a middle ground between detached housing and apartment living, retaining private gardens, storage and secure parking within a more manageable residential format.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/schmidt-pang-architects">Schmidt &amp; Pang</a> designed the architecture around natural light, ventilation, privacy and practical use of space. From Rooding Street, the façade has been composed to read as a cohesive residential building rather than nine individual townhouses, with landscaping by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/john-patrick-landscape-architects">John Patrick Landscape Architects</a> integrated throughout the site.

Inside, natural stone, oak flooring, integrated joinery and brushed nickel finishes establish a restrained material palette, while kitchens include Miele appliances and substantial storage such as pantries. Walk-in robes and dedicated study spaces have also been incorporated across the collection.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7877 project_image_fid=355852]

The project team said the planning of the homes has been informed by how the spaces function for both daily routines and larger gatherings.

"Our new homes owners at Veil have enjoyed the attention to detail in creating efficient layouts that use every space well. Hosting Christmas lunch and large family gatherings is an ease when care is taken to consider how people really live and entertain."

Private landscaped gardens extend the living spaces outdoors, while secure basement parking and bicycle parking are provided below. The homes have also been designed to achieve a 7-star energy rating, supported by double glazing, high-quality insulation, natural ventilation, LED lighting, water tanks and water-efficient fittings. Each residence is backed by a 10-year building guarantee.

Veil is being built by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/jeniton">Jeniton</a>.&nbsp;Limited-time stamp duty savings are also currently available on selected purchases at Veil, adding another consideration as the project moves toward completion.

Veil Brighton nears completion in one of the suburb's most walkable pockets

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mosaic-property-group">Mosaic Property Group</a> has recorded 134 sales worth just over $400 million in two months of pre-release activity at The Riversdale, as the developer brings its $750 million South Brisbane riverfront project to the broader market.

The sales represent more than 60 per cent of the project's 213 apartments, with Mosaic reporting the majority of purchasers have been local owner-occupiers and downsizers.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-riversdale-by-mosaic-south-brisbane-91-montague-road-south-brisbane-qld-4101">The Riversdale</a> will rise 39 storeys from its north-facing site at 91 Montague Road, delivering a mix of two, three and four-bedroom apartments alongside a collection of Mosaic's premium Masterpiece Series Sky Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151614 project_image_fid=371872]

The early buyer response comes ahead of the wider evolution of the northern end of Montague Road, where The Riversdale will be one of the first major residential projects delivered within an emerging riverfront precinct.

Directly adjoining the development is a planned 7.1-hectare mixed-use precinct, set to introduce new residences, parkland and public realm along the river's edge. The Riversdale's position directly on the Brisbane River gives it a relationship with the waterfront that Mosaic says cannot be replicated by future buildings within the precinct.

The site is also the result of a years-long pursuit by Mosaic. The developer first earmarked the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/south-brisbane-qld-4101">South Brisbane</a> property in 2018, reflecting what Founder and Managing Director Brook Monahan has described as a deliberately patient approach to acquiring development sites.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151614 project_image_fid=372083]

"We aren't opportunistic," Monahan previously told Apartments.com.au.

"Every site purchase is carefully considered. As seen with Kangaroo Point and South Brisbane, it can take years to eventuate. There are sites we're looking at now that we may not secure for several years."

Designed in collaboration with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bureauproberts">Bureau Proberts</a>, The Riversdale has been shaped around the qualities of the riverfront site, with apartments oriented to capture northern light and uninterrupted Brisbane River views.

Generous floorplans and expansive balconies extend the living spaces towards the river, while natural materials and a restrained interior palette have been selected with longevity in mind.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151614 project_image_fid=371890]

Residents will have access to a level of amenity more commonly associated with world-class hotels and private members' clubs, with almost 3,000 sqm dedicated to wellness, connection, recreation and everyday convenience.

At ground level is a business lounge, private meeting rooms and dedicated workspaces. Mid-tower is a wellness sanctuary featuring magnesium hot and cold plunge pools, sauna, steam room, infrared therapy facilities, a Pilates and yoga studio, and a commercial-grade gymnasium.

Crowning The Riversdale is a rooftop featuring a 35-metre swimming pool with lap lane and spa, outdoor dining and seating terraces, firepit lounges and views of the city, river and Mount Coot-tha.

A private members' club-inspired retreat offers private dining rooms, a whisky lounge, media rooms and immersive entertainment experiences. Completing the amenity offering are two hotel-style guest suites and a resident-exclusive electric vehicle fleet and car-share program.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151614 project_image_fid=371877]

The Riversdale sits at the northern end of Montague Road between South Bank and West End, around 1.3 kilometres from the Brisbane CBD, providing access to the city's major cultural, dining and recreation precincts.

It becomes Mosaic's largest Brisbane project to date and adds to a pipeline already under construction across the city.

In Brisbane, the developer is currently delivering The Bedford and The Carter at Kangaroo Point, both of which are approaching sell-out, with a further four projects being delivered on the Gold Coast. Mosaic has completed more than $2 billion in projects since 2012 and has a further development pipeline exceeding $2 billion across South East Queensland.

Early works are underway at The Riversdale, which will be delivered by Mosaic's in-house construction division. Completion is anticipated in late 2029, with remaining apartments priced from $1.98 million.

Lender, fund manager and apartment developer Princeton has completed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/marque-rockdale-602-608-princes-highway-rockdale-nsw-2216">Marque Rockdale</a>, the first new apartment development in South Sydney to provide its owners with a 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy, the most comprehensive insurance available for a new apartment building.

The policy has been a key consideration for prospective purchasers of the 58 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, strategically located between&nbsp;Rockdale Plaza and Rockdale Station.&nbsp;

Buyers have also been drawn to the fact that it is one of few new apartment developments delivered in the suburb in the last 10 years, and the only one located on Princes Highway to be set well back from the street to reduce noise. There's also a communal rooftop, a rarity in the suburb, complete barbecue facilities, landscaped seating areas, a children's play zone and herb gardens.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136442 project_image_fid=374084]

Ray White Projects’ Matt Otway said buyer enquiry reflected the increasingly diverse and cosmopolitan population that has made Rockdale home.

“We’re seeing strong interest from a broad mix of buyers, including young professionals and people who have rented in Rockdale and the surrounding suburbs and now see Marque as an opportunity to buy a brand-new apartment in an area they already know,” Otway said.

“Proximity to the CBD and Sydney Airport is another key advantage particularly for buyers working in these locations who want the added convenience of living close by.”

Investors have also been attracted to the project, with rental yields of more than five per cent, which is considered a strong result for the Sydney market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136442 project_image_fid=374090]

Adding another layer to the buyer proposition is Marque's 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy from Resilience Insurance, making it the only new apartment development in Rockdale to offer the cover.

The policy protects apartment owners against major structural and waterproofing defects for 10 years following completion, giving Marque purchasers cover until early 2036 at no additional cost.

The likelihood of defects emerging has also been mitigated through the Technical Inspection Service (TIS), which saw independent experts inspect the building at various stages throughout construction to identify potential issues during the build, rather than after the fact.

SDSS, which provided the TIS, consistently ranked the construction quality at Marque, undertaken by iCIRT-rated builder Coplex, among the best across its extensive portfolio of projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136442 project_image_fid=374088]

Otway said the LDI had become a major drawcard for buyers, particularly given Rockdale has seen relatively little new apartment development over the past decade.

"Rockdale hasn't had a lot of new apartment buildings in the last decade, and has never had a project with 10-year defect insurance," Otway said.

"Marque presents a truly rare opportunity at an affordable price point, so well connected to the Sydney CBD."

One-bedroom apartments at Marque start from $735,000.

Bellevue Hill

<html><body>
The long-time Bellevue Hill home of the late Australian film animator Yoram Gross AM is being sold. Mark Goldman at Sotheby's has the May 14 auction listing.
Gross made 16 animated features and a dozen television series, bringing to life characters including Dot and the Kangaroo and Blinky Bill.
The Cranbrook Road property was bought by the Polish-born producer in 1999.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/3/28/B%20HILL%202.jpg" alt="">
He paid $2.91 million when buying from then Westpac chief, David Morgan, and wife Ros Kelly through Walter Antonelli and Bart Doff. 
Yoram and his wife, Sandra set up their first film studio in Israel in 1962, and later founded Yoram Gross Film Studios in Paddington after migrating to Australia in 1968.
In 1977 they secured international acclaim with the animated film, Dot and the Kangaroo, only the second animated feature ever made in Australia.
Gross established an unenviable worldwide reputation for the adaptation of children's characters from books to animation.
In 1992 he diversified into making animated series for television, with the popular Blinky Bill.
The studio also did laminated versions of Skippy and Flipper.
He released his autobiography My Animated Life in 2011.
His family lived under the Nazi regime in Poland. According to his studio bio, his family “was on Oskar Schindler’s list, but chose to make their own risky escape, moving hiding places 72 times”.
Surrounded by gardens on its 955 square metre parcel,<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-bellevue+hill-127849354" target="_blank"> the Georgian family home</a> spans two stately levels with lift access.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/3/28/B%20HILL%203.jpg" alt="">
It features a timber-panelled home office and grand formal living and dining rooms.
Outside there's a garden studio, heated pool and a garage, converted in to a pool house. 
Sydney Sotheby's agents Mark and Barry Goldman are marketing the home.
Cranbrook Road house sales have ranged between $3.25 million and $28 million over the past five years. Bellevue Hill's median house price sits at $5.45 million according to CoreLogic.
Gross, who passed away in 2015 aged 88, also had property at Wentworth Falls.

The collection of Sydney businessman John Schaeffer will be offered in Sydney on April 29.
The paintings by Frederic Leighton, Lawrence Alma-Tadema and Edward John Poynter cover the walls of his recently acquired Bellevue Hill mansion, Bonnington (above).
 A highlight will be an Edward John Poynter oil painting from 1887 in spectacular neoclassical gilt frame.
Depicting female models in a classical setting, 'A Corner of a Marketplace', is the potential best-seller of the sale at $450,000 to 650,000 (below).
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/4/18/schaf.jpg" alt="">
A 2 metre marble sculpture of Orpheus by William Wetmore Story that stands in Schaeffer’s front yard is also among the 56 lots that Schaeffer has decided to sell.
He built and re‐built a collection of predominantly high Victoria art over many decades, after a visit to the exhibition The Pre‐Raphaelites at the Tate Gallery in 1984 that represented what he called “a defining and life‐altering moment.”
A sale of his earlier collection was held in London in the early 2004 attracting attention from UK collectors Andrew Lloyd Webber and Isabel Goldsmith.
This month’s offering come with an estimate of $3.3 million to $4.4 million.
John Schaeffer was born in Amsterdam and migrated to Australia in the 1950s, later buying a contract cleaning company that became one of the top companies in Australia.
Last month he sold a Dover Heights house for $9 million.
He told The Australian he has a new obsession involving plans for the Tudor-style Bonnington.
In 2016 he bought a collection of 120 classical sculpture and architectural details from English collector Peter Hone that are yet to be unpacked from a container.
Inspired by Sir John Soane’s Museum in London,Schaeffer wants to build a conservatory in the garden at Bonnington to house his new collection.

Having emerged as the $21,165,000 buyer of Belhaven at Bellevue Hill, ASX boss Dominic Stevens and wife Emma are selling their now redundant $16 million home nearby.
The couple paid $8,715,000 for the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-bellevue+hill-127579638" target="_blank">Kambala Road property</a> in 2005 when it was bought from David and Linda Penn.
Set on 1,500 sqm, the family home has four bedrooms, a study, state of the art media room and a separate self-contained guest pavilion.
The lounge and dining areas open to wisteria draped pergola, sandstone outdoor entertaining terrace and a full-size tennis court. 
A heated swimming pool is surrounded by manicured gardens.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/2/13/asx2.jpg" alt="">
Sydney Sotheby's are marketing the property.
Dominic and Emma recently settled on Belhaven, the home of Brambles chief executive Stephen Johns and wife Michele Bender.
They had $27 million hopes for the home that sold through Sydney Sotheby's, hopes which fell well short.
The Victoria Road home, updated by Howard Tanner, costs Johns $4.5 million in 1989. 
It was built for the Sunday Times newspaper owner and showbiz entrepreneur Hugh “Huge Deal” Macintosh. From 1942 to 1948 it was run as the Belhaven Babies Home.
Belhaven has been redundant since Johns paid $16 million for the Darling Point apartment of Silicon Valley software billionaire David Doyle.
The unit in the Burley Katon Halliday designed project was minimalist in design.

Sydney art collector John Schaeffer is set to return to Bellevue Hill.
He is the mystery buyer of the Tudor-style Bonnington, the $20 million plus home of the late businessman Neville Christie that sold through Richardson &amp; Wrench agent Michael Dunn,
The 1930s <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-bellevue+hill-125459770" target="_blank">six bedroom home </a>was designed by acclaimed architect F. Glynn Gilling.

Pricey Bellevue Hill ranks as Australia's dearest rental suburb

<html><body>
Kharkov, a 1914 Bellevue Hill trophy home transformed into an artful 21st century home, has been listed for sale. 
The architectural firm Collins and Turner have juxtaposed the classic with an avant-garde design, which begins from its Beresford Road entry.
A striking cantilevered frameless glass lift is set within an exposed sandstone cliff-wall that leads to the five bedroom home.
Sandstone blocks cut out of the cliff were used to build the soaring semi-circular retaining wall constructed by Mardini Constructions.
<a href="https://www.domain.com.au/bellevue-hill-nsw-2023-2013914332" target="_blank">The 2012-redesigned home</a> features a number of formal living areas. The formal lounge has a gas marble fireplace, amid the interiors restored by designer Donald Campbell.

Retractable glass doors open to stone-paved terraces with sweeping harbour views.
The attic retreats' views seek out Bondi.
An 18 metre lap pool that traverses the entire width of the property comes a cabana which is being marketed as futuristic.
The bronze and black cabana features an outdoor kitchen, shower pod and mirrored periscope skylight. 
Alison Coopes at Agency by Alison Coopes has the listing.

Bellevue Hill trophy home, Kharkov listed for sale

<html><body>
Eastern suburbs property developer Eduard Litver has spent more than $18 million on Sundorne, the Bellevue Hill trophy home sold by the Cranbrook School.
Litver has been based in one of the apartments in the Bondi Pacific, the Campbell Parade project he developed with Rebel Property Group's Allen Linz.
Cranbrook School were set to expand when they paid $15.5 million in 2013 at auction, but the plans never eventuated. It sits on 2,550 sqm across the road from the school.

Built in the 1920s, the English manor-style residence had been the home of the late arts philanthropist Claire Dan.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-bellevue+hill-126518154" target="_blank">Victoria Road home</a> has six bedrooms, five bathrooms and a swimming pool and tennis court on the parcel.
Ray White Double Bay agent Elliott Placks sold the home in conjunction with LJ Hooker Double Bay agent Bill Malouf.
Litver has plans to renovate the house, or either build a new home, before leaving Bondi.
Litver and Allen developed the old Swiss Grand Hotel at Bondi Beach.
Apart from previously holding the top price record for an apartment in Australia, the likes of Gina Rinehart and NRL star Sam Burgess own in the Bondi development.

Property developer Eduard Litver buys Bellevue Hill trophy Sundorne

<html><body>
Sutton car dealership executive Scott Sutton has sold his luxury Bellevue Hill home.
Sutton, an heir to the Suttons Holden fortune, paid $5.3 million for the home in 2015.
It fetched $7.25 million plus.
The home which began as a 1960s Harry Seidler designed abode has hit the market through Raine &amp; Horne Double Bay daughter-mother sales team, Denise and Gillian Cameron.
The Bennelong Crescent home comes with a modernist refurbishment enhancing the harbour views across to Manly from its three levels.
Seidler started the design, but the client could never agree, so it did not proceed as intended. 
The home with double-brick and concrete slab construction has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a self-contained apartment.
Sutton recently sold a nearby Cranbrook Road building block parcel for $6 million to hedge fund boss Russell Aboud and his wife Lucinda.
He had approved plans for an Xpace Design home with pool on the 845 sqm parcel that cost him $4.2 million in 2014.
