Australia’s housing debate has rarely been more urgent. The National Housing Supply and Affordability Council forecasts the country could fall around 262,000 homes short of housing needs by 2029, underscoring the scale of the challenge facing planners, governments and developers.

In response, much of the conversation has centred on high-density towers around transport corridors and strategic centres.

Diversified developer Coronation Property, while also focused on well-located, strategic sites, is incorporating an arguably underutilised typology, the terrace.

Difficult to integrate into true high-rise developments, terraces have become a defining feature of Coronation’s lower-rise portfolio, including projects in Ashbury and Erskineville. <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/ashbury-terraces-165-171-milton-street-ashbury-nsw-2193">Ashbury Terraces</a> places a stronger emphasis on this housing type, forming part of a broader community mix.

At its Erskineville development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lillian-erskineville-9-metters-street-erskineville-nsw-2043">Lillian</a>, terraces are more limited, with just a handful&nbsp;included within the wider, predominantly apartment-led precinct, one of the first developments to launch in Erskineville in several years.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135149 project_image_fid=368392]

Terrace residents at Lillian benefit from many of the same advantages as apartment owners, the lock-up-and-leave lifestyle and access to shared amenities like the rooftop wellness space, but with significantly more space.

Spanning multiple levels, the terraces also feature front and rear courtyards, providing direct access to the central landscaped gardens within the precinct.

<h3 data-end="212" data-section-id="1n97jye" data-start="191">The terrace model</h3>

Terrace housing has long been part of Australia’s urban fabric. From Paddington and Surry Hills to Glebe and Annandale, rows of terrace homes have shaped neighbourhood streets, offering a housing form that sits between detached houses and apartments.

The contemporary terrace, however, addresses many of the limitations of older designs, where narrow staircases and constrained layouts often compromised liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135149 project_image_fid=368157]

“Terraces represent one of the city’s most intelligent housing models,” says Joe Nahas, Managing Director of Coronation Property.

“They deliver density without losing the human scale that makes neighbourhoods liveable. In many ways, they provide a bridge between the Sydney we know and the Sydney we need to build. If Sydney is going to grow well, it can’t rely on towers alone.”

<hr data-end="1090" data-start="1087" />
<h3 data-end="1124" data-section-id="1a7l0gw" data-start="1092">The evolution of the terrace</h3>

That thinking has shaped Coronation’s approach at Ashbury Terraces, where the terrace typology has been reinterpreted for modern living.

Designed by SJB, the project recently received recognition at the 2026 Better Future World Design Awards, acknowledging its architectural clarity and response to the surrounding suburban context.

SJB Director Adam Haddow says the intent was to evolve a familiar housing form rather than reinvent it.

“The terrace is one of Sydney’s most familiar housing forms, so our approach at Ashbury was to reinterpret that typology in a contemporary way,” Haddow says.

“The homes are designed to sit comfortably within the existing neighbourhood while introducing more light, landscape and shared spaces that support modern living.”

Ashbury Terraces combines terraces, apartments and penthouses across a series of low-rise buildings, integrating contemporary architecture with landscaped communal spaces and resident amenity.

That same typology is now being carried into Coronation’s Lillian development in Erskineville, where a smaller number of terraces sit within a predominantly apartment-led precinct.

<hr data-end="2269" data-start="2266" />
<h3 data-end="2289" data-section-id="cazuws" data-start="2271">Buyer response</h3>

Coronation’s decision to include terraces at Lillian was informed by strong buyer feedback from Ashbury Terraces, where purchasers were drawn to the flexibility and scale the housing type offers.

One resident, Sweta Pursem, purchased a terrace as a single buyer, citing its long-term versatility.

“As a single buyer, it might seem surprising that I chose a terrace over an apartment, but I was thinking long term,” Pursem says.

“The terraces are incredibly versatile, catering to a range of lifestyles while still offering the space and privacy of a house.”

For Pursem, the multi-level layout provides a level of functionality not typically found in apartment living.

“Having a separate living area from the bedroom and home office makes everyday living feel both functional and comfortable. When friends and family come to visit, the layout gives a sense of privacy while still feeling open and spacious.”

Her terrace also supports a more connected, lifestyle-driven way of living.

“I love entertaining, and the courtyard is ideal for relaxed weekend drinks with friends. I tend to use each level differently throughout the day, it creates a natural rhythm between work, downtime and entertaining, which I didn’t have in apartment living.”

Ashbury Terraces is now complete and ready to move in, while Lillian in Erskineville is under construction and expected to welcome residents in mid-2027.

Coronation champions terraces as a key piece of Sydney’s housing mix

Private equity real estate firm Conquest has entered into a $220 million partnership with Woolworths’ development arm, Fabcot, to deliver its long-awaited Waterloo project on Bourke Street.

The Bourke Street development was first flagged by Fabcot back in 2021 as part of its push into Sydney’s residential market. However, progress has since stalled, with no activity on site amid a number of design revisions in consultation with the City of Sydney.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/conquest">Conquest</a>, which is actively planning more than $6 billion worth of new developments, predominantly mixed-use precincts, is now set to move the project forward.

The current plans include between 110 and 120 apartments across two buildings designed by Bates Smart at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/923-935-bourke-street-waterloo-nsw-2017">923 Bourke Street</a>. The scheme will incorporate a portion of apartments reserved for key workers, alongside premium commercial space at ground level, including a full-line Woolworths supermarket.

Construction is expected to commence in the second half of 2026.

Michael&nbsp;Akaawi, CEO of Conquest, said the partnership reflects the firm’s commitment to "convenience-led" urban renewal."

"We are preparing to commence construction in the second half of this year," Akaawi says.

"Along with Woolworths, we look forward to delivering the first major supermarket to the growing Waterloo community, integrated with premium new apartments and specialty retail shops. Our focus is on creating a seamless lifestyle hub where essential services are at the doorstep, saving residents time and enhancing their quality of life."&nbsp;

<img alt="Conquest" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d8beee83-ef9b-446b-a3b3-1e2fe596512b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-01%20at%2011.08.46%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=raYhGepiLUJfx4InLPRRJduA3ftDJ_kS" />

The news comes just a week after Conquest went to the NSW Government to upsize its plans for Castlecrag's Quadrangle Shopping Centre.

Conquest purchased the site for just shy of $70 million last year, with existing plans in place for a mixed-use residential and retail precinct comprising 38 luxury apartments.

Those plans have now been significantly expanded, with the developer lodging a State Significant Development Application with the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority for 150 apartments across two 11-storey buildings. The apartments will sit above a four-storey podium, incorporating specialty retail tenancies and five levels of basement car parking, on the 5,166 sqm site at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/100-edinburgh-road-castlecrag-nsw-2068">100 Edinburgh Road</a>.

Conquest has been increasingly active in the development space in recent years. The group acquired the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/eastlakes-nsw-2018">Eastlakes</a>&nbsp;Shopping Centre redevelopment, where it plans to deliver more than 1,000 apartments above a new retail precinct, and has also lodged a $900 million State Significant Development Application for a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/conquest-unveils-900m-stanmore-village-vision-for-landmark-inner-west-site">mixed-use precinct in Stanmore</a>.

Conquest partners with Woolworths to deliver mixed-use Waterloo project

A shift away from Sydney’s industrial past has left parts of the inner south defined by contrast, brick warehouses repurposed into dining precincts, former factory streets softened by landscaping and pedestrian activity.

Rosebery is one of those suburbs. Over the past decade, it has undergone significant gentrification, anchored by The Cannery, which has helped reposition the area as one of the inner city’s most sought-after lifestyle pockets.

What hasn’t kept pace with that transformation is new residential supply, which has remained relatively limited. Builder-developer Deicorp identified that gap early, securing a site in 2019 and delivering what is now one of the suburb’s most architecturally distinctive developments.

To realise the vision, Deicorp engaged Candalepas Associates to design The Rothschild, a project that is immediately recognisable from the street.

Completed in 2025, The Rothschild comprises two buildings across Rothschild and Mentmore Avenues, delivering 176 apartments. The development replaces a former industrial site, retaining a material and structural dialogue with its past while introducing a more resolved residential framework. The scale is deliberate but not monolithic, broken into forms that engage both street frontages, with retail at ground level and two levels of basement parking below.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106843 project_image_fid=221665]

From the street, the architectural intent is clear. Off-form concrete columns run through the façade, establishing a repeated structural rhythm that gives the building its visual weight. These are paired with deep-set arches and sections of exposed brickwork, creating a layered elevation that reads less like a typical apartment block and more like a reinterpretation of industrial architecture.

The material palette is intentionally restrained, with concrete left exposed and brick used to define mass rather than decoration. The result is a building that stands out through proportion and repetition, rather than height or glazing.

This approach continues internally. A central landscaped courtyard sits between the two buildings, anchored by an olive grove that acts as both a visual and spatial focal point. Rather than functioning as residual space, the courtyard is designed as a shared ground plane, where circulation paths, seating areas and planting come together to create a usable communal environment. Its positioning allows natural light to penetrate deep into the site while maintaining separation between residences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106843 project_image_fid=221666]

Within the apartments, the planning follows a clear and functional logic. Entry points lead directly into open-plan living areas, with kitchens positioned as central elements alongside dining and lounge spaces. These zones extend to balconies or external openings, maintaining a visual connection to either the courtyard or the street.

Kitchens prioritise practicality, with generous bench space, ample storage and European appliances configured for everyday use. Bedrooms are typically set back from the main living areas, creating quieter zones within each residence, with separation achieved through layout rather than material change. Bathrooms are compact but efficient, incorporating mirrored cabinetry and integrated storage to maximise space. Across all residences, the emphasis is on clarity of movement and functional planning.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106843 project_image_fid=221669]

At ground level, retail and hospitality uses extend the building’s presence beyond its residential function. A café or restaurant space, alongside communal amenities such as a music room and rooftop areas, positions the development as part of a broader urban network rather than a standalone project. These shared spaces reinforce a lifestyle where the building operates as an extension of the surrounding neighbourhood.

Rosebery’s proximity to Green Square, The Cannery and nearby parklands supports this model of living, where much of daily life is within walking distance. The Rothschild sits comfortably within that network, contributing to the streetscape through its distinctive architecture, while internally organising space around light, structure and communal use.

The Rothschild is now complete and ready to move in, with limited residences remaining.

KTQ has unveiled&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/casilia-16-marine-parade-coolangatta-qld-4225">Casilia</a>, the final residential release within the Kirra Point precinct which really kicked off the boom in the area back in 2019.

The final stage comprises&nbsp;87 residences and marks the culmination of a long-term, family-led vision for Kirra Point, as the precinct moves toward completion in tandem with the development.

Around $100 million in sales have been achieved already, close to 35 per cent of the residences secured ahead of launch. There have been a significant number of buyers returning from the first stage of the development, Miles Residences, securing another property within Kirra Point.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152295 project_image_fid=368410]

Selling agent Tim Keenan from Keenan Byrne said the response reflects both the scarcity of the offering and Kirra’s growing reputation as a premium coastal market.

“This is effectively Kirra’s final act, the last release within what has become one of the Southern Gold Coast’s most tightly held beachfront precincts,” Keenan said.

“We’ve seen exceptionally strong pre-sale interest, from VIP waitlists through to off-market enquiry, which speaks to both the quality of the product and the confidence buyers have in the precinct. What’s particularly compelling is the number of buyers returning from Miles, either upgrading or investing again, which is a strong signal of how the precinct has been received."

Keenan adds that at the same time, north-facing beachfront remains exceptionally rare in Australia, limited to places like Noosa, Byron and Kirra, which is underpinning long-term value.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152295 project_image_fid=368415]

Positioned along one of Australia’s few true north-facing beaches, Casilia offers a mix of two and three-bedroom residences with pricing ranging from $1.87 million to $7.15 million and two exclusive penthouses. Residences are oriented to capture varying outlooks, from uninterrupted Pacific Ocean views across Kirra Beach to hinterland vistas, with upper levels and shared amenity taking in sweeping perspectives along the Gold Coast coastline.

At rooftop level, a north-facing pool deck captures expansive, uninterrupted views over Kirra Beach and north towards Surface Paradise. The space incorporates a heated resort-style pool, mineral spa, sun lounges and a covered BBQ cantina.

Buyer profiles are broad, typically aged between 40 and 70, with a strong skew toward second-home ownership, drawn by a combination of lifestyle, relative value, proximity to Gold Coast Airport and lower congestion compared to more established markets such as Byron Bay and Noosa.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152295 project_image_fid=368414]

The project is being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/ktq-group">KTQ Group</a>, a family-owned Australian property group with a diverse portfolio spanning residential, hospitality and commercial developments. The group has delivered a number of notable projects across sectors, including the award-winning Elements of Byron resort, demonstrating its depth of experience across both hospitality and residential development.

Known for its long-term approach to place-making, KTQ Group retains a vested interest in its projects, often holding assets within its portfolio, which has also helped build trust among buyers and reinforced confidence in both the vision and delivery certainty of the precinct.

“Casilia represents the final opportunity to secure a residence within Kirra Point and brings to market the last release within our long-term vision for the precinct," KTQ Group's Jeremy Holmes said.

"Kirra Point has been more than a decade in the making, and that timeframe reflects the care behind each decision, it takes listening, balance and vision to arrive at something that feels right for the location.

“Our approach has always been to deliver Kirra Point as a destination in its own right, a connected coastal neighbourhood integrating residential, hospitality and wellness, rather than a standalone project. It’s a vision that respects place, pace and permanence, and contributes to a sense of community that feels authentic to Kirra.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152295 project_image_fid=368411]

Once complete, the Kirra Point masterplan will incorporate a mix of dining establishments, bars and cafés, alongside the Kirra Point Health Club and a future 91-room independent resort hotel, creating a walkable, integrated lifestyle precinct.

Architecutue and interiors at Casilia have been designed by the experienced design houses of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/little-boat-projects">Little Boat Projects</a> and O’Neil Architecture &amp; Interior Design, The design moves beyond the conventional coastal apartments, instead taking cues &nbsp;from the surrounding landscape - layering natural materials, soft curves and warm textures to create spaces that respond to light, airflow and the rhythms of coastal living.

Residences are designed with an array of floorplates, generous proportions and intuitive flow, while at ground level Casilia connects into the broader precinct, where future laneways, retail and hospitality offerings will contribute to a neighbourhood defined as much by how people live day-to-day as its beachfront position.

South East Queensland developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gardner-vaughan-group">Gardner Vaughan Group</a>’s entry into the Gold Coast apartment market has progressed from pipeline to market, with its Chevron Island project Bronze on Chevron now formally available to purchase ahead of a planned 2029 completion.

The 119-apartment development on Mawarra Street marks the Brisbane-headquartered builder-developer’s first residential play in the Gold Coast, following its expansion south from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/bronze-on-chevron-8-mawarra-street-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Bronze on Chevron</a> comprises a mix of two-, three- and four-bedroom residences, with pricing starting from just over $1.5 million. The project is being delivered under Gardner Vaughan’s fully integrated model, with the group acting as both developer and builder, a structure it has consistently applied across its South East Queensland portfolio.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107520 project_image_fid=367182]

Architecture has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cottee-parker-architects">Cottee Parker</a>, with landscape architecture by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/jeremy-ferrier-landscape-design">Jeremy Ferrier</a>. The building presents as a single-tower scheme, with a focus on maximising outlook across both the Surfers Paradise skyline and the Nerang River.

Apartments have been planned with open-plan living zones extending to generous balconies, a response to the site’s dual-aspect positioning between river and ocean. Interiors follow a restrained coastal palette, with two colour schemes offered, and an emphasis on natural light and cross-ventilation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107520 project_image_fid=367181]

Resident amenity is concentrated across more than 1,250 sqm and includes a resort-style pool, gym, yoga lawn and rooftop entertaining areas. A function space with catering facilities forms part of the upper-level offering, alongside north- and south-facing outdoor areas.

Ground level will incorporate two retail tenancies, intended to extend the existing village character of the surrounding streets.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107520 project_image_fid=367200]

The project sits within walking distance of Thomas Drive’s established dining strip, while maintaining proximity to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Surfers Paradise</a> beach and broader Gold Coast amenity. The location, positioned on Chevron Island between the river and coastline, has increasingly attracted mid- to high-density development in recent years as the precinct evolves beyond its low-rise origins.

Gardner Vaughan’s move into the Gold Coast was first signalled in 2025, with the group identifying the region as a natural extension of its operations. Chief Executive Officer Simon Betteridge described the expansion as both “strategic and natural”, citing demand for well-designed apartments in lifestyle-driven markets.

Construction is expected to complete in early 2029.

Coogee

<html><body>
TV drama producer Julie McGauran is selling her long-time Coogee home.
McGauran paid $798,000 for the 1920s home in 2005, not long before she left her role as series producer of Home And Away.
She spent about $250,000 extending it to create a designer four-bedroom family home shared with former Home And Away actor Cameron Welsh.
It comes with a heated pool in its 230 square metre tropical gardens.
McGrath agent Mark McPherson has a $2.35 million guide for its May 25 auction.
McGauran has been working on the upcoming drama Between Two Worlds for Seven.

Popular TV producer Julie McGauran lists in Coogee

South Sydney Rabbitohs legend Greg Inglis has turned his focus off field as the Bunnies work out a new role at the Redfern club for the recently retired champion.
The 32-year-old is <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-coogee-131104790" target="_blank">offloading his 1910 Coogee home</a>, which has been tenanted in recent times.
Inglis, who now rents at Little Bay, secured the Coogee semi after his move from Melbourne at the end of 2010.
The Maroons and Kangaroos centre paid $1.1 million for the Bream St property, just around the corner from the beach and the Coogee Pavilion.
It had previously sold at $965,000 in 2004, so Inglis bought at the right time, just ahead of the five-year house price boom where Sydney prices typically rose by around 75 per cent.
The then two bedroom federation semi has been completely transformed from its drab state, but still sits behind its period facade.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/5/7/Inglis2.jpg" alt="">
McGrath Coogee agent Marnie Seinor is marketing the property for a June 1 auction with buyers told the price guidance was $2.8 million.
The rental estimate is $1900 a week.
Now, with a grand scale extension, it homes four bedrooms and two bathrooms across its now three levels and features designer interiors.
The top level is a dedicated entertaining space which opens to a wrap around terrace.
At the rear is a covered outdoor entertaining area with a fireplace.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/5/7/Inglis3.jpg" alt="">
Inglis wasn’t forgotten by his red and green former teammates this week as his former side crushed the Brisbane Broncos 38-6.
Cody Walker, Adam Reynolds and John Sutton all celebrated their tries in Inglis fashion with the goanna crawl, replicating Inglis’ iconic try celebration in the 2014 grand final win.
Inglis and his estranged wife Sally, who recently moved back to Queensland, own investment properties across the state.
They have a renovated 1920s workers cottage in Sandgate, northwest of Brisbane, which cost $440,000 in 2014.
There is an apartment in Bargara, in the Bundaberg region, which cost $590,000 in 2008.
He sold his Altona Meadows home, southwest of Melbourne, for $423,000 in 2011 upon his move to Sydney. He had paid $375,500 in 2006, shortly after making his debut with the Storm.
The Kempsey-born NRL star signed with the Canberra Raiders at 15 but didn’t play a game. He moved to Brisbane and played for Melbourne Storm’s feeder club Norths Devils before being added to the Storm’s full-time playing roster in 2004.

NRL legend Greg Inglis lists transformed Coogee home

<html><body>
The comedic television presenter Julia Morris and her husband, Dan Thomas, have made the move back to Sydney from Melbourne.
They have chosen Coogee as their base, renting a modernised 1930s Coogee family home (above and below) that was offered at $2,000 a week over the summer break.
Their relocation — interrupted by Morris filming I’m a Celebrity Get me out of Here! in Africa — came after being selected to co-host Channel 10’s new show, Chris &amp; Julia’s Sunday Night Takeaway.
After six years away from Sydney, the move also meant they’d be closer to family who reside at Kincumber on the Central Coast.
The show, filmed live at the nearby Fox Studios Australia, hasn’t been a ratings winner.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/3/19/Morris3.jpg" alt="">
It has lost viewers three weeks in a row, down last Sunday night to 259,000 viewers.
Struggling against Nine’s Married At First Sight and Seven’s My Kitchen Rules, the show had debuted in late February with 383,000 viewers.
Morris and Dr Chris Brown both appear on the more successful Channel 10 show, I’m a Celebrity Get me out of Here! 
Their Coogee rental, last traded for $3.6 million in 2016, has four bedrooms, for the couple’s two daughters.
Morris and Thomas have their own master retreat, complete with a walk in wardrobe, ensuite and private balcony.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/3/19/Morris2.jpg" alt="">
The ground level living space, separate to the dining area, opens to a rear garden with lawns and a barbecue terrace.
Dr Chris Brown possibly helped them choose the eastern suburbs coastal lifestyle, as previously they’d did a stint in the harbour capital at Narrabeen.
Brown had long been based at Bondi until his move in 2017 to Clovelly, where he spent $5.8 million on a classic beach house.
Morris and Thomas had been paying around $2,000 a week in Melbourne, renting a 1920s home with a pool in Brighton which their landlords paid $4.5 million in 2015.
They retain a $400 a week investment property on the outskirts of Geelong which cost $366,000 in 2014. 
Morris, who grew up around Gosford the Central Coast, worked in real estate briefly as an agency receptionist before embarking on her career in comedy. 
After trying her luck in the UK, she returned to Australia teaming up with Gus Worland on The Singing Office. She then teamed up with opera singer David Hobson, winning It Takes Two in 2008.
During the It Takes Two series she had joked: “Australia, I think it’s time that a nearly 40-year-old, overweight woman wins something in this country”.

Comedic TV presenter Julia Morris moves to Sydney

The former Coogee home of model Jennifer Hawkins and her then builder fiance Jake Wall was pulled from its weekend's scheduled auction.
It now comes with guidance of $3.2 million to $3.5 million.
Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agents Alexander Phillips and David Tyrell are marketing the home having initially sought $3.5 million when first listed, and then adjusting its buyers guide to $3.2 million. 
It is the home which Hawkins had difficulty selling seven years ago.
It was finally sold for $2.22 million in 2012 when the couple headed off to Sydney's northern beaches.
Hawkin noted after it took six months to sell in 2012 that "Wow.... the property market in Sydney is tough".
The Moore Street home, part of a duplex near Gordon's Bay, spans 240 square metres over its four levels.
It has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and an open plan kitchen, living and dining area that flows to the rear alfresco deck which has been reduced in size to allow more exposed pool.
The Coogee property was a bit of a baptism of fire in the world of property for Hawkins and Wall, who in recent times have made handsome profits from their property dealings.
They made a small loss on the 2002-built property following her four year ownership, buying for $2.27 million in 2008 and then selling in 2012, just before prices began to soar across in Sydney over the next five years.

The former Coogee home of model Jennifer Hawkins and her then builder fiance Jake Wall has hit the market for the first time since they sold to head off to Sydney's northern beaches in 2012.
It proved a bit of a baptism of fire in the world of property for Hawkins and Wall, who in recent times have made handsome profits from their property dealings.

I checked it out at yesterday's open for inspection, and the bespoke home had no traces of the celebrity couple. The current owner had recently extended the pool to run the full length of the courtyard (old pool pictured below).

The neighbouring duplex owner failed to find a buyer after 130 days on the market last year and then sought tenants at $2,400 a week.

Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agents Alexander Phillips and David Tyrell are marketing the former Hawkins property with a $3.5 million price guide.
Hawkins and Wall now live on Pittwater having profitably flipped properties around Curl Curl in the prior five years.
One of the projects was a luxury home they collaborated on which sold for $5.25 million in 2016 to cricket power couple Mitchell and Alyssa Starc.
This week Hawkins posted on Instagram a Pittwater poolside shot with her "two favourite men," Jake and her dad Bob, who's got just the 10 followers, a way behind Hawkin's 872,000 and Wall's 83,000.

A mixed-use Coogee Bay Road building that is currently occupied by Moodi's cafe has sold, with a new technological trend.
The property, which sold for $3.25 million for the first time in over four decades, had 39 bids, a number coming from an international online bidder who was actively placing bids on the app AuctionNow.
The interested buyer entered the bidding at $2.1 million and stopped just shy of the final price at $3.24 million.
"As a direct result of having the property listed on AuctionNow, the potential buyer was able to watch the auction livestream in absolute real time and easily place bids from the other side of the world," a spokesperson for Damien Cooley auctions said.
 <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/2018/11/12/moodis2.jpg" alt="">
The building at 232 Coogee Bay Road had been Bakers Delight until last year when it gained approval to be converted into a health food cafe with outdoor seating.
Damien Cooley of Cooley Auctions held the hammer as the price soared past its $2.7 million reserve. 
It sold with a 3.5% yield, which is a suburb record for the asset class.
Above the ground floor commercial space is a one bedroom apartment with separate access.
Colliers International agents Peter Seeto and Miron Solomons handled the marketing.
Down the road the live auction for <a href="https://www.commercialrealestate.com.au/property/99-105-coogee-bay-road-coogee-nsw-2034-2014712202" target="_blank">99-105 Coogee Bay Road</a> saw the property was passed in with no bid.

The building, which is home to LJ Hooker Coogee, was offered for the first time in over 100 years.
It comprises four retail ground floor shops and the 170 sqm office space above which is tenanted by LJ Hooker.
There's potential income for around $250,000 per annum on a fully let five tenancy basis.

The downsizing rockstar Suze DeMarchi, the lead singer of Baby Animals, has moved away from the beach.
DeMarchi has settled on a new $1.6 million three bedroom apartment in Alexandria, in a block of just seven apartments completed late last year.
Spanning 155 sqm, the north facing apartment features a full width balcony. 
BresicWhitney agents Chris Nunn and Nick Playfair sold the unit. 
Earlier this year DeMarchi found a $2.2 million buyer for her Coogee house, after it passed in on a $2.18 million vendor bid through The Agency's Bethwyn Richards and Monica Smit.
The home cost DeMarchi $1,265,000 in 2011 when she returned from the US where she was married to the Aerosmith guitarist Nuno Bettencourt
The Baby Animals, which re-formed in 2007, have toured regularly since.

Rocker Suze DeMarchi sells her Coogee house

<html><body>
Rocker Suze DeMarchi, who fronts the popular band Baby Animals, has yet to sell her Coogee house after its weekend auction.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-coogee-127839410" target="_blank">home, which had a guide of $2.1 million</a>, was passed in on a $2.18 million vendor bid through The Agency's Bethwyn Richards and Monica Smit.
The Perth born musician bought the home for $1,265,000 in 2011 when returning from the US when set to relocate with her then partner, Aerosmith guitarist Nuno Bettencourt.
Bettencourt's ongoing tour commitments meant the plan never materialized and the two split.
The two level home at the south end of Coogee Beach has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a living area on each level.
<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/2018/4/16/suze2.jpg" alt="">
DeMarchi has renovated the home extensively during her seven year ownership. DeMarchi began her career as a solo singer in the 1980s having moved to London.
She signed to EMI and released three singles as a pop star before returning to Australia to form Baby Animals with fellow WA musicians in 1989.
After creating two albums, which were first then second in the Australia album charts, the group split up in 1994.
The Baby Animals re-formed in 2007.
They have toured regularly since.
