<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/collingwood-vic-3066">Collingwood</a>’s northern edge continues to sharpen its reputation as one of Melbourne’s most compelling cultural precincts, where established creative institutions, leading hospitality, and independent fashion converge within a tightly held inner-city neighbourhood.

Set within this evolving pocket, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/derby-street-by-milieu-collingwood-4-derby-street-collingwood-vic-3066">Derby Street by Milieu</a> draws on a location that balances proximity to some of the inner north’s most influential destinations with the quieter, tree-lined character that defines the streets edging East Melbourne. Positioned just moments from both Smith and Gertrude Streets, the address sits on the periphery of Collingwood’s cultural core, offering immediate access without the intensity of its busiest frontages.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145576 project_image_fid=355945]

Gertrude Street, in particular, anchors the area’s identity as a destination for Melbourne’s leading food, art and fashion. Within a short walk, venues such as Marion, Cutler &amp; Co, IDES and the Builders Arms Hotel define a tightly curated dining scene with enduring citywide appeal, complemented by a strong fashion and retail presence including Havn, Le Labo and a selection of independent boutiques.

Nearby, institutions such as the Australian Print Workshop and Collingwood Yards sustain a constant rhythm of exhibitions, performances and creative output, embedding art and culture into the everyday fabric of the neighbourhood.

Smith Street, running parallel, extends this offering with a broader mix of hospitality and nightlife, maintaining its status as one of Melbourne’s most active inner-urban strips.

Beyond these high-energy streets, the immediate surrounds shift in tone. Derby Street and its neighbouring blocks are defined by low-rise heritage terraces, mature trees and a settled residential character. Fitzroy Gardens and Carlton Gardens are both within walking distance, alongside the Royal Exhibition Building and Melbourne Museum, bringing together green space and cultural landmarks within minutes of home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145576 project_image_fid=355985]

Connectivity remains a key advantage. The CBD sits within easy reach, accessible by tram along Smith Street in around 20 minutes, while also remaining close enough to walk or cycle, supported by the inner north’s established bike network.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/milieu-property">Milieu</a>’s long-standing connection to Collingwood underpins the project’s approach. With a portfolio that includes multiple nearby developments across Bedford, Peel and Napier Streets, the developer brings a sustained understanding of the area’s character and evolution. Derby Street continues this trajectory as a collaboration with award-winning Melbourne-based <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/studio-bright">Studio Bright</a>, marking the practice’s first multi-residential project in the inner north and reflecting a shared focus on design integrity and contextual response.&nbsp;

Balancing connection to the neighbourhood with a sense of seclusion and refuge, Derby Street by Milieu embodies a level of care and craft typically reserved for single residential projects. Comprising 22 residences across six storeys, with two to four-bedroom configurations priced from $1.15 million, the project is currently under construction with completion expected in late 2027.&nbsp;

A rare new apartment development in the Blue Mountains is the latest in a string of State Significant Development Applications submitted through the New South Wales Government's Housing Delivery Authority.

A total of 270 apartments are being proposed for the 1.16-hectare site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/blue-mountains-alpine-retreat-142-150-narrow-neck-road-katoomba-nsw-2780">142–150 Narrow Neck Road in Katoomba</a>, a parcel of land adjoining the former Katoomba Golf Course. The site was acquired for $3.85 million in 2021 by private developer VDM Prime.

The apartments, comprising a mix of serviced apartments, affordable housing, and traditional build-to-sell product, will be spread across eight low-rise buildings, along with a separate building for a new restaurant, arranged around a green spine that leads to a central park.

<img alt="Katoomba" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ee9a2072-f465-44f1-9076-80c9c8ecca02" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-22%20at%209.20.21%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4bT0vQ7j_syl65wcrJmHGm3m5pTvwrY_" />

The Urban Design Report by Atlas Urban says the vision is to create a "contemporary mountain precinct that is responsive to its escarpment landscape, heritage character, and community context."

"The development responds to the current housing supply and affordability challenges identified under the NSW Housing Delivery Authority (HDA), providing a balanced mix of standard, affordable, and short-stay accommodation," the report noted.

"By introducing a variety of dwelling types and tenures, the proposal supports intergenerational living, local workforce retention, and greater housing choice within an area constrained by topography, heritage, and environmental protections."

Of the 270 units proposed, 52 will be serviced apartments. The remainder will comprise 54 studios, 121 one-bedroom units, 39 two-bedroom apartments, and four three- to four-bedroom residences.

<img alt="Katoomba" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f704508d-1bdf-4170-955d-0256652402a7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-22%20at%209.56.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=TzarHMO4gTOsblCqsbJQkvMqWj9nu2Au" />

The Design Report, by VDM Prime and appointed architect Antoniades Architects, noted that the design seeks to "provide a built form outcome that is highly considered, respectful and contextually fitting, whilst contributing positively to an evolving precinct."

"The site offers three frontages and the opportunity to provide a meaningful interface with the public domain environment. the design has a sympathetic response to streetscape and the green open space that surrounds the site."

The report states that the buildings are broken up to establish an appropriate bulk and scale, emphasised through height and setback strategies and defined through articulation that supports the transition of precinct granularity. It also notes that a central communal open space is established through the site to enhance the social dynamic and access to amenity, including natural ventilation and light to the apartments. The east and west frontages receive solar access during the morning and afternoon, whilst maximising views to the green open space.

The site adjoins the recently completed Yarrabee Katoomba development, comprising 24 duplexes that were completed last year and sold through McGrath Projects.

The relatively new Housing Delivery Authority pathway established by the NSW Government allows developers to submit State Significant Development Applications through a fast-tracked state process, effectively reducing reliance on local council approval pathways and aiming to accelerate housing delivery across New South Wales.

First look: Nearly 300 apartments pitched on former Katoomba golf course site

In Melbourne’s established inner east, the qualities that define a traditional house, width, height, and access to open ground, are increasingly difficult to replicate in new residential developments. Larger landholdings are scarce, and with them, the ability to create apartments that extend beyond compact, internalised layouts.&nbsp;

In <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/kew-vic-3101">Kew</a>, where the residential fabric is shaped by generous setbacks and mature tree canopies, that tension is especially visible.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/ricdanic-investments-pty-ltd">Ricdanic</a>&nbsp;is bringing forward a boutique collection of just 13 residences across two buildings at 9–11 Wimba Avenue, Kew. Comprising six homes at No.9 and seven at No.11, the project sits on a quiet, tree-lined street just off Cotham Road.&nbsp;

Each apartment has been planned with a level of independence more commonly associated with standalone dwellings, balancing privacy with the efficiencies of apartment living.

Architect Chris Idle, who has been practising for over two decades, says projects like this don’t come along often.

“There are very few opportunities to do these kinds of developments in leafy, established suburbs,” he explains. “To get this level of amenity, natural light, and architectural freedom in such a setting is extremely rare.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140755 project_image_fid=366267]

The internal planning begins with width. Living areas extend beyond five metres, allowing furniture, circulation, and glazing to sit comfortably within the same zone without compression. Ceiling heights shift from three metres through to five metres in select areas, changing the sense of scale as you move through the apartment. These proportions are paired with double-glazed windows and fully electric systems, balancing volume with performance, supported by a 7.2 NatHERS energy rating.&nbsp;

From the main living space, the apartments open directly outward. Large sliding doors connect to private gardens averaging 125 square metres, with some residences also incorporating balconies of around 60 square metres. Rather than acting as secondary outdoor zones, these areas sit flush with the internal floor level, extending the usable footprint of the home and allowing for multiple modes of use, whether for quiet daily routines or larger gatherings.&nbsp;

The landscape, led by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/john-patrick-landscape-architects">John Patrick</a>, reinforces this relationship. Across the site, 23 different plant species have been introduced, including a mix of native and established varieties, arranged to maintain privacy while preserving sightlines and light access. Gardens are not treated as decorative buffers but as functional extensions of the apartments, shaped to accommodate movement, seating, and informal use over time.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140755 project_image_fid=366265]

Architecturally, the project draws from Kew’s historic residential language. Handmade bricks by Krause define the exterior, grounding the buildings within the material palette of the suburb, while interior finishes, stone, timber flooring, and restrained detailing, continue this approach internally. Architect Chris Idle describes the intent as long-term rather than stylistic: “We wanted it to feel timeless.”&nbsp;

This emphasis on durability extends to how the buildings are accessed and secured. Entry is managed through keyless systems, with a double-gated basement incorporating number plate recognition for vehicle access. Each residence is paired with a private lock-up garage accommodating two to three cars, alongside storage, while all entry points are monitored continuously. These measures sit alongside EV readiness and fully electric infrastructure, aligning the project’s operational systems with its long-term design outlook.&nbsp;

The setting remains central to how the development is experienced. Located within walking distance of Kew Junction and close to established schools including Carey Grammar and Xavier College, the address benefits from existing infrastructure while maintaining a residential quietness that is increasingly difficult to find at this scale.&nbsp;

Construction is being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/sinjen">Sinjen</a>, with a 10-year structural guarantee, with completion targeted for mid-2027.

High-end Sydney developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a> has secured approval for one of its latest Mosman projects, one of the first developments approved by Mosman Council under the NSW Government’s Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy.

The approval represents an important step in delivering well-considered housing next to established village locations on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, in line with the intent of the Low and Mid-Rise zoning framework. 
&nbsp; 
There are currently 13 other sites lodged within Mosman Council under the policy, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/27-29-heydon-street-mosman-nsw-2088">Heydon Street</a> among the first to receive development consent. 
&nbsp; 
Abadeen Founder and Executive Chairman Justin Brown said the project reflects a considered and appropriate response to its planning context. 
&nbsp; 
“This approval demonstrates how carefully considered, design-led development can align with the objectives of the Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy," Brown said.

"The scheme has been designed to respond sensitively to its village setting, with a built form, scale and level of amenity appropriate to its local context. The determination reflects a balanced and considered planning outcome, with Council recognising the capacity for this site to accommodate additional housing within a well-located and established precinct.”

<img alt="Abadeen secures first approval under low and mid-rise housing policy for Heydon Street, Mosman" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="92811ce3-02e8-44fc-996e-c61ae039bd3e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Heydon%20Street%20Aerial.jpg?VersionId=ZHJVuWQT64QcdrFJx963pFWFzTX7lI2I" />

The Heydon Street approval followed extensive consultation with Mosman Council, with Abadeen working closely with Council throughout the assessment process.

The approved scheme comprises 27 residences, with only four per floor, creating a low-density living environment. The building will include four half-floor penthouses designed to capture views across Middle Harbour, Sydney Harbour and the surrounding district.&nbsp;

The project is expected to appeal to downsizers and owner-occupiers seeking house-like proportions, privacy and local convenience. There will be north-facing Middle Harbour views from the second level upward. It is also just a flat 100-metre walk to Bridgepoint Shopping Centre, which will appeal to owner-occupiers and in particular downsizers.

Two-bedroom residences are expected to be priced from $1.99 million when sales launch later this year. 
&nbsp; 
Joe Tack, CEO at Abadeen, said the outcome reflects both the quality of the site and the broader need for well-located housing. 
&nbsp; 
“This is a highly considered site within a highly established local setting, offering elevated views and strong connectivity. The project has been designed to respond to that context, delivering a scale and quality of housing aligned with both the planning framework and evolving market demand.” 
&nbsp; 
“This approval is particularly significant in the context of Mosman, where new housing supply has historically been limited. While it represents the first approval of this scale in Mosman to be achieved in over 50 years, it is importantly located within a well-established residential location, in close proximity to the established commercial amenity of Spit Road and Mosman Village. It reflects strong confidence in Abadeen’s approach to design, delivery and community integration, while contributing to the delivery of much-needed housing in a highly constrained market.”

Abadeen has an established track record across Sydney’s Lower North Shore, with recent completions including KOYO in Crows Nest and ENSO in Neutral Bay.

In Mosman, Abadeen recently completed The Hampden, with Mosman Residences on the corner of Spit Road and Clifford Street scheduled for completion later this year. Construction has also commenced at Burran Residences, comprising three full-floor ultra-premium homes positioned just 50 metres from Balmoral Beach, with residences expected to achieve prices in excess of $20 million. Two further projects are also progressing through planning within the local government area.

Apartment developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> is one of the latest entrants to the Gold Coast development market, with its debut project set to be one of the most boutique offerings on Chevron Island in recent years.

Martello has unveiled <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/aere-chevron-island-18-20-mawarra-street-chevron-island-qld-4217">Aere Chevron Island</a>, a collection of 33 large-scale two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments across an 18-storey building on Mawarra Street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367517]

The developer has placed a strong emphasis on wellness, briefing architecture firm Raunik Design to embed this philosophy into the project. It is a direction <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> plans to carry through its future developments along the coast.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> has positioned Aere as a continuation of its human-centric development approach, with a focus extending beyond amenity to the fundamentals of layout, natural light, and spatial planning. Promax Construction has already been appointed to deliver the project, with construction expected to commence in the coming months as part of the group’s broader expansion into South East Queensland.

Rising above the low-rise fabric of Chevron Island, Aere’s design emphasises generous internal proportions and uninterrupted outlooks, with residences oriented to capture coastal, skyline, and waterway views. Interiors prioritise open-plan living, with large-format glazing and carefully considered transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367508]

The upper levels are dedicated to larger-format homes, including four-bedroom residences designed as half-floor offerings. These layouts prioritise separation between living and sleeping zones, along with increased privacy and storage, features more commonly associated with detached housing than traditional apartment product.

Aere’s private resident amenity spaces centre on wellness. A rooftop level will incorporate a heated swimming pool, sauna and spa, alongside a residents’ lounge, dining areas and barbecue spaces, while additional shared facilities throughout the building include a gym and yoga area.

The inclusion of both social and quieter retreat spaces reflects a broader shift in higher-end apartment design on the Gold Coast, where developers are increasingly responding to owner-occupier demand for buildings that support long-term living rather than short-stay use.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367814]

Aere is positioned within walking distance of Chevron Island’s village centre along Thomas Drive, as well as the HOTA cultural precinct via the Green Bridge, connecting residents to parklands, galleries, and event spaces.

For <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a>, Aere represents the first in a series of planned Gold Coast developments, with the group also exploring opportunities in other coastal precincts, including Kirra and Palm Beach.

The move north comes as sustained population growth and infrastructure investment continue to reshape South East Queensland, with developers increasingly targeting boutique, design-led projects in established lifestyle pockets. Aere’s relatively small scale and emphasis on spatial quality position it within this emerging segment of the market.

Bondi Junction

The long-awaited rejuvenation of the Club Bondi Junction RSL is officially underway following a formal ground-breaking, signalling the start of construction on the back of a successful project sell out.

The 80-apartment development by Australian development business, Capital Corporation, was launched in October 2020, selling 30 per cent of apartments in the first week on the market, with the final apartment sold just prior to the start of the construction phase.&nbsp;

The apartments have been designed by Group GSA, while the interiors are by renowned architects, Koichi Takada.

With a focus on form and function, each home has been designed to celebrate both the city and the sea, with each apartment following an open-plan design, adjoining onto spacious balconies offering views across Bondi and Botany Bay.

Capital Corporation Director, Jim Hunter said the strong sales in 2021 triggered the early construction start, with the flow of buyers following on from there.

&ldquo;Our last sale recently finalised, and the construction program has officially begun, signifying to the community that the project is full steam ahead,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;This is such an exciting project that provides both a longstanding future for the Club, modern living facilities and terrific benefits for the community,&rdquo; Hunter added.

Bond is set to revitalise the precinct streets into a buzzing community hub, with the reinvention and modernisation of Club Bondi Junction RSL also planned, which will sit beneath the apartments.

Part of the area&rsquo;s regeneration includes opening the street frontage on the corner of Gray Street and Bronte Road into a welcoming and dynamic location, with an array of cafes and dining options.

Capital Corporation worked closely with Group GSA, to renew and restore aspects of the Club&rsquo;s heritage, while also creating a contemporary facade.

Bondi Junction RSL Club President, Bill Harrigan said they&rsquo;re looking forward to the transformation, attracting all members of the community.

&ldquo;I am excited about the creation of a different type of club, one that attracts not only veterans and their families but all of the community.&rdquo;

With the inclusion of the function spaces and the new restaurant, we expect the club to be a central spot for social connection,&rdquo;&nbsp;Harrigan said. &nbsp;

The 10-level residential project will be crowned by a landscaped rooftop area, created by Urbis, complete with an outdoor cinema, barbecue areas and a yoga lawn.&nbsp;

National Director at Colliers Residential, Blake Schulze, said the project had attracted buyers from the Eastern Suburbs, many of whom purchased multiple apartments, with one as their main residence and the second as either an investment or for another family member or adult child.

&ldquo;We experienced significant demand for Bond from local families and returning Australian expats,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;This demand resulted in strong sales, even during our most significant lockdown period of 2021.&rdquo;

After partnering on two successful projects, Veridian in Kogarah and Esplanade in Norwest, Capital Corporation appointed Westbourne Constructions as the builder in December 2021 with construction now officially underway.

Bondi Junction RSL Club build kicks off just as project completely sells out

HSN Property Group&rsquo;s Bondi Junction project, Ellipse is nearing completion, with the oval structure set to deliver a collection of apartments in one of Sydney&rsquo;s most sought-after locations.

Designed by nationally acclaimed Architect James Tonkin, in collaboration with award-winning Yvette Philips Interior Design, Ellipse comprises two and four-bedroom apartments, with master bedrooms equipped with an ensuite and private balcony, as well as internal laundries.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109122 project_image_fid=200031]

With only four, two-bedroom apartments and one&nbsp;four-bedroom apartment remaining, three with custom linen-covered built in wardrobes, Ellipse has marked itself as a rarity in the suburb, with the project&nbsp;set to be the last building to be developed on Waverley Crescent.

1st City are handling the sales of Ellipse, with agent&nbsp;Yaron Foghel saying they&#39;ve seen mostly&nbsp;downsizes and young professional couples interested in the Bondi Junction project.

&quot;Most of the Bondi Junction developments are around Oxford Street,&quot; he said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109122 project_image_fid=200033]

&quot;Ellipse is closer to Woollahra and Bondi Beach where there are no high rises around and it&#39;s close by to a handful of parks, making it a very different and better location,&quot; Foghel added.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Following an&nbsp;open plan living, apartments open out to multiple balconies throughout the home, including a north-east facing balcony that captures city skyline aspects and water views.

Kitchens will feature a statement &lsquo;Statuario&rsquo; marble island bench, benchtops and splashback, complete with Wolf and Miele appliances and Sub-Zero fridge/freezers. Apartments come with two car spaces and storage, benefiting from lift level access as well as an entrance lobby.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109122 project_image_fid=200036]

With a distinct curved fa&ccedil;ade made up of pre-cast concrete, the complimenting marble and natural tones throughout tie the building to its surrounds.

Crowning Ellipse is a shared rooftop space, decked out with a fire pit and seating areas, allowing residents to soak in the surrounding CBD and ocean views.

Landing on Waverly Crescent, residents are just minutes from a range of amenity, including the infamous Bondi Beach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109122 project_image_fid=200034]

&ldquo;The living possibilities are infinite at Ellipse Residences. You are only minutes away from everything you need, the beach, Westfield Bondi Junction, Sydney CBD, educational institutions, local conveniences, public transport, organic cafes, vibrant bars and restaurants,&rdquo; a HSN spokesperson said.

Bondi Junction apartments, Ellipse, near completion 

<html><body>
A Bondi Junction apartment site permit-ready for a five level apartment building, has sold for around $9 million. 

The incoming developer intends to proceed with the approved project at 110-116 Bronte Road.

The Bureau SRH designed complex will contain 20 dwellings, two shops and basement parking at the corner of Bronte Rd and Porter St.

Cohen Handler development and commercial acquisitions director Tas Costi represented the purchaser

Metro Commercial’s Zorick Toltsan was the selling agent of the site known Metropolitan 2022.

The developer Three Chefs Hats had paid $4.9 million in 2015 for the site on delayed settlement terms that saw a 2017 settlement. The retail premises have been occupied by Worldwide Travel, Medani Bakery and Awaken Life Chiropractic.

It has previously brought projects to market at Rose Bay and Bellevue Hill.

The development application was first lodged in 2014 with the 110–116 Bronte Road application the subject of Land and Environment Court (LEC) appeal in 2017. 

The Waverley Council noted the determination of the appeal saw the LEC ensure compatibility with the current street character as well as the desired future street character as set by the WLEP2012 and the WDCP 2012.

The appeal for 110–116 Bronte Road was determined  by Commissioner O’Neill who noted the requested exceedance of the height of buildings development standard was not justifiable on the basis of the form and height of the nearby Waverley telephone exchange building, nor its corner position.

The one and two bedroom units were offered by Richardson and Wrench-Bondi Junction agent Andre Frack in 2018  when completion was expected for late 2020. 

The apartments that all come with 15 sqm terraces were initially prices from $945,000 for one-bedroom units spanning 50 sqm internally. They were priced to $1.19 million. 

The two-bedrooms have about 80 sqm of internal space answer listed for between $1.6 million and $1.9 million.

No new pricing intentions have yet emerged.

Fashion designer turned property developer Danny Avidan sold a grand Victorian terrace in Bondi Junction midweek after its failed May auction.
The four-bedroom 1890s Grafton Street terrace was bought as an investment in 2016.

The Point Piper-based husband of fashion designer Charlie Brown paid $2.25 million.
There was a $2.25 million guide then a $2 million post-auction update from Ray White’s Ashley Bierman.
It has been a $1750-a-week rental.
Avidan first came to prominence with his Discovery label in 1984.

Suspended Edgecliff solicitor Mark O'Brien, who is being investigated over claims he misappropriated almost $6 million in trust money, has sold his Bondi Junction home.

O'Brien and wife Therese paid $3,425,000 for the home less than 12 months ago. It was mortgage free.

It sold after spending nearly three months on the market through Sydney Sotheby's agent Joseph Raskin, who didn't offer a price guidance.

Mark Leo O'Brien, who until recently worked at Edgecliff firm Harrington Maguire and O'Brien, has been suspended from practising after his business partner became wary of his ability to afford a $3.4 million Bondi Junction home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7758]

There was an application before Supreme Court by the Law Society of NSW applied to freeze the assets.

"Facts incidentally came to the attention of the solicitor's law partner who, knowing intimately the profitability of the practice, was set to wondering about how his law partner had been able to afford an expensive new house at Bondi," Justice Campbell said in an April 4 judgment.

The O'Briens offered to pay the net proceeds of the sale of the property to the Law Society.

Having stepped down as the boss of the Australian Film Television and Radio School to move to the UK, film producer Neil Peplow and partner, former Screen Australia executive Nathalie Peter-Contesse, dramatically secured the sale yesterday of their Bondi Junction home.
The couple paid $2.53 million in 2015 for the modernised 2005-built terrace, not far from the set-to-be redeveloped Waverley bus depot.
The terrace, which came with $3.3 million hopes through McGrath, was passed in on a $3.05 million vendor bid. But Peplow, who is joining the British Film Institute as director of international affairs, agreed soon after to accept a $3,025,000 offer, but then the only other bidder, still hovering around, bumped up her post-auction offer to $3,037,000.

The former Bondi Junction commercial space of the Traditional Chip Shop is being offered with no rental payments until next year.
The Traditional Fish Shop had had a brand new lease term of 10 x 10 years when the property at 1/78 Bronte Road sold two years ago for $1.74 million.
They were paying $104,000 per annum for the lease. The shop has been up for lease since May when it was asking $93,600 per annum.

The two level property, which was marketed as recently built when sold in 2016, has 165 sqm space including the loading dock and storage area.
It is equipped with a grease trap, cool rooms and freezer.
The Brit-targeted Traditional Chip Shop was set up by an Irish couple living in Sydney. 
TV chef Colin Fassnidge, from Dublin, was on hand at the official opening in 2015.
