<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Hotel Sale

The iProsperity Group (iPG) has sold the Park Regis Hotel in Sydney to the Yeh Group for $54.18 million.
The sale price represents a 23% increase on what iPG paid for it less than two years.
The 122-room Hotel stratum makes up 10 floors of the 45 level mixed-use tower at 27 Park Street, Sydney.
Recent refurbishments done through StayWell, are expected to lead to an increase in rates at the Sydney hotel.
In its recent 'Q1 2018 Hotel market analysis report', iPG predicted buoyancy in the hotel sector will continue for the remainder of the year, with Sydney to experience the highest activity levels and strongest ADRs.
Settlement is expected on October 31, 2018. 
The sale was handled by Gus Moors and Karen Wales of Colliers International.
"iPG have combined astute timing and sound business acumen to create substantial uplift in this asset over the period of Its ownership," said Moors.

Boyuan Holdings has sold the Peachtree Hotel in Penrith, Western Sydney for $16.5 million.
It was bought in July 2017 to provide the company with additional revenue.
It sold to an "experienced third party hotel operator," understood to be hotelier Jason Marlow of Marlow Hotels. 
The Boyuan chief executive Caden Wan said the sale followers a strategic review.
<div>
The pub stands on a large 10,055 square metre site on Castlereagh Road close to the Penrith CBD.

The leasehold interest in the Covent Garden Hotel, a Chinatown hospitality institution with Luey family origins stretching back to the 1970's, has been sold off-market.
The purchaser is believed to be a very experienced multi-hotel operating group from Sydney.
Ray White's Asia Pacific director of hotels Andrew Jolliffe brokered the transaction via an off-market campaign.
</div>
</div>
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
The three storey and dual fronted Covent Garden Hotel opened in 1911 by Tooths &amp; Co and has been a hospitality icon since.

Jolliffe says the change of hands signifies the enduring nature of Sydney's entertainment precincts.
</div>
</div>
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
"Our client, the Luey family, have very successfully occupied the Covent Garden Hotel for decades, and accordingly sought from us a transaction which identified a suitable party via which to continue the strong business operation known to thousands of local and international patrons" said Jolliffe.
</div>
</div>
<div class="section">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
"Many a visitor to Sydney's vibrant Chinatown district, whether seeing an international performance or attending Paddy's Markets, has walked through the doors of this proud institution.
"Importantly, the transaction we've co-ordinated means the legacy created by the Luey family is in very safe hands for another generation, and will be preserved under the guidance of one of Sydney's most well-known and highly credentialed hospitality families" advised Jolliffe.
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
A spokesman for the Luey family confirmed the sale, and advised that the family was extremely proud of the hotel's history, whilst being excited about the business's future under the guidance of the new operator.
</div>

<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
With recent sales of numerous high profile hotel operations including the Vic on the Park and Collaroy hotels to Merivale impresario Justin Hemmes, as well as Newtown's iconic Marlborough Hotel to Solotel's Bruce Solomon, Jolliffe believes the hotel asset class remains well positioned.
"Unmistakably, the asset class remains particularly strong, and strengthening, with key fundamentals all scripting earnings growth indexed to strong cash flows and meaningful barriers to competitive entry."

Rozelle's Garry Owen Hotel has been sold by the South Coast bound Sloan family after nearly a year on the market.
The Sloan family were described as industry newcomers when they bought the property from the Laundy Group in 2013.
They have extensively renovated the property at <a href="https://raywhitehotels.com.au/properties/garry-owen-hotel/" target="_blank">778 Darling Street</a>.
It spans three levels on its 360 sqm parcel and has 10 gaming entitlements.
Only half of the first floor area is being utilised for trade.
Ray White's Andrew Joliffe and Blake Edwards were marketing the property as an entry level Sydney freehold hotel.
Despite having 1920 etched on the facade the building, the hotel was established in 1881.
One of the Hotel's claim to fame is that an inside toilet was installed in an old laundry in 1937 and "was the only pub in Rozelle with a chimney on the toilet".

After a four week marketing campaign, Ray White Group's Andrew Jolliffe, has sold the Padstow Park Hotel. 
The hotel, currently ranked 169 in the State's top 200 gaming hotels, and the recipient of a recent extension of trading hours windfall until 2am, is situated opposite Padstow train station on a 2700 sqm block. 
Jolliffe advised that the auction room was again well supported by purchasers. 
His auction sale record is now sitting at an 86% success rate.
The hotel was purchased for $26,000,000.00 by JDA hotels who enjoyed a management agreement at the hotel, confirmed Jolliffe. 
The hotel was sold by White &amp; Partners who bought it in 2014 for $13.7 million when sold by Wesfarmers hospitality arm Coles Liquor. 
"The market remains particularly active at present with the bandwith of sales for A grade hotels operating between 7% and 8.5%" commented Jolliffe. 
Speaking on behalf of the purchaser, John Feros said they clearly knew the hotel, and had a good appreciation of the area; "having operated hotels in that part of Sydney for decades." 
Ray White Hotels Australia has another 80m worth of hospitality assets currently under agreement, including the Ophir Tavern in the State's South West which the firm sold on behalf of Sydney based P.E. firm EBC Capital last Friday following an EOI campaign.

Abbotsford’s The Retreat Hotel, best known for featuring in The Sullivans television series, will go under the hammer March 2.
It is expected to fetch over $2.5 million.
The historic pub at 226 Nicholson Street is being sold as freehold vacant possession by the Fermanis family.

Built in 1915, the federation styled two-storey pub is situated on a 308 square metre corner block.
It has heritage overlay restrictions. 
CBRE recently sold the freehold investment in The Montague Hotel on a tight sub 4.5% yield. The property was sold off market, with CBRE acting on behalf of the Fermanis family.

<div>Hotel Delany, one of Newcastle’s trophy hotels, has been listed for sale amid a surge of interest in pub investment opportunities.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The hotel at <a href="https://www.commercialrealestate.com.au/property/134-darby-street-newcastle-nsw-2300-2014003489" target="_blank">134 Darby Street</a> is positioned between the redeveloping Newcastle City Centre and the $750 million East End project.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It sits on a 1,684 sqm retail site with future redevelopment potential and also includes a valuable late trading hotel licence and 22 PME’s.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The hotel is being marketed by CBRE Hotels’ Ben McDonald and Daniel Dragicevich along with Deane Moore of Moore &amp; Moore Real Estate.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“The Hotel Delany has long been one of the most asked about pubs in Newcastle and we have no doubt there will be significant interest from hoteliers around the state – particularly from Novocastrian operators but also from mixed use developers and commercial property investors,” CBRE's McDonald said.</div>
<div>
Hotelier Gary Hird and his son, Anthony, are selling the iconic pub. It marks the end of an era for the Hird family, who have spent nearly two decades at the helm of the Cooks Hill operation, the Newcastle Herald added. The Hird family bankrolled the renovation of the pub in 2009, at an estimated cost of up to $6 million.
 The pub gets its name from Newcastle businessman Victor R. Delany, who commissioned the design of the original building in 1924. 
</div>
<div>“The venue holds a special place in the hearts and minds of all locals and even though the Hirds have steered it well during their tenure I look forward to what new lease of life the next operator can breathe into the operation,” added Moore &amp; Moore Real Estate’s Deane Moore. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>There has been a surge of interest in larger scale hotels in Newcastle in recent times with the Prince of Wales at Merewether, Duke of Wellington at New Lambton, The Exchange Hotel in Hamilton and Nags Heads at Adamstown all transacting over the past 12 months at sale yields normally reserved for Sydney metro hotels, said McDonald.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>McDonald said this exemplified the interest, not just in the local pub sector, but in Newcastle’s commercial property market in general.</div>

A former hotel site in Sydney’s inner suburb of Glebe is for sale with the opportunity to tap into the city’s burgeoning student accommodation market.
The Roxbury Hotel, a distinctive red-painted and long-closed pub at <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/http://raywhitecommercialscf.com/properties/commercial-for-sale/nsw/glebe-2037/retail/1771711" target="_blank">182 St Johns Road</a>, as well as an adjoining Victorian terrace house at 180 St Johns Road, are for sale separately.
The properties are expected to fetch above $5.5 million. 
The expressions of interest campaign closes on November 29, and if not sold by that they will be auctioned off by Ray White Commercial on November 30 
The listing agents are Justin Rose and Kristian Morris.
Rose says the offerings will appeal to buyers seeking either an opportunity to redevelop or to occupy. 
The high-exposure combined sites with a combined area of 494 sqm  have DA approval until March 2021 for redevelopment to add an additional level and build 25 self-contained units and a roof terrace plus retail space suitable for a cafe, restaurant or bar.
Both buildings are offered for sale with vacant possession.
The Glebe offering follows the high-profile $21 million sale of 142-152 Broadway, Chippendale, at auction on November 2.
The University of Notre Dame Australia bought the site, which is next to its Chippendale campus.
The deal was facilitated by Rose.
With the University of Sydney, UTS, TAFE campuses, FBI Fashion College and Notre Dame close by, the city fringe is already a hotspot for student accommodation. Nearby facilities include Urbanest in Glebe, Sydney Central and Redfern, Unilodge at Ultimo and Iglu at Broadway, Central and Central Park.
However, Rose says the scope for buyers at the Roxbury site is not limited to only a development opportunity.
“The existing two-storey 700 sqm old Roxbury building, which is on a 367 sqm corner block, has great light, character and architectural features,” he says.
“In addition to the DA approval, the site also offers an owner-occupier an opportunity with future development potential, or for partial occupation with multi-income potential.”
The licences for the hotel and 15 poker machines are for sale by separate negotiation.

Former hotel site in Sydney's Glebe up for sale

<html><body>
The Hurstville Ritz Hotel and Cabramatta Hotel in Sydney have sold for a combined $90 million, capping a hot season for pub sales.
The hotels were owned by Stephen Bowden, the former Newtown Jets front rower.
Earlier, the Ryan family sold the Republic Hotel in Sydney's CBD to international property fund in an off-market deal through Ray White.
In another recent high-profile pub sale, the Justin Hemmes-led Merivale snapped up Vic on the Park Hotel in Sydney's Inner West in a deal estimated to be between $22 million to $25 million.
The off-market transaction for the Cabramatta hotels marks the largest hotel sale transaction in 2017, according to selling agency Sydney Hotel Brokers Pty Limited.
The deal was managed by John Morrison of Sydney Hotel Brokers Pty Limited.

Stephen and Louise Bowden first acquired the Hurstville Ritz Hotel (formerly known as Shanney’s) from Tooth &amp; Co (as a term lease) in 1979. 
In 2007, they sold off the Hurstville Ritz Hotel for a Sydney record price of $52 million before buying it back in 2010 for $30.5 million. 
The Cabramatta Hotel was initially acquired by the Bowdens in 2010 as a freehold investment with NLG as the tenant. NLG was subsequently acquired by the Redcape Hotel Group, who are the current tenants. 
Ryan Watts, solicitor at Slater &amp; Elias Lawyers, said the vendors were happy after “a complicated and high stakes sales process”.
