Not all apartment amenities are immediately visible.

Swimming pools, gyms, rooftop terraces and residents' lounges have long featured on buyers' wishlists, but as the way Australians live has changed, so too have the features that make apartment living more convenient.

Increasingly, buyers are placing value on the practical aspects of day-to-day life. Fast internet, EV charging, secure bike storage, flexible workspaces and parcel management are becoming just as relevant as lifestyle amenities, reflecting changing habits and expectations.

Online shopping has been one of the biggest drivers of that shift.

Australians spent a record $82.6 billion shopping online in 2025, with almost one in every four retail dollars now spent digitally, making parcel deliveries a routine part of everyday life rather than an occasional convenience.

For apartment residents, however, receiving those deliveries isn't always straightforward.

Without someone home to accept a parcel, deliveries can be redirected to a nearby Post Office, left in building foyers or common areas, or require building management to temporarily store packages. As apartment living continues to grow across Australia's cities, parcel management has become an increasingly important consideration for both residents and developers.

Australia Post's Parcel Locker network is one response to that shift.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KPZ9j5FRdsQ?si=Qztc1dNP3ZvEIUhb" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

Rather than relying on home delivery, eligible parcels can be directed to a nominated Parcel Locker, where they're securely stored until collected. Once a parcel arrives, residents receive a notification through the AusPost app or SMS and can retrieve it using a one-time code or QR code at a time that suits them.

The network has expanded to more than 1,500 locations nationwide, with Parcel Lockers positioned at Post Offices, shopping centres, supermarkets, transport hubs and, increasingly, within or alongside residential developments.

That growing presence reflects a broader change in how apartment buildings are being planned.

Developers are increasingly considering the operational side of apartment living alongside traditional lifestyle amenities. Just as secure mailrooms, bicycle storage and EV charging have become more common inclusions, parcel management is emerging as another feature that supports everyday convenience.

It also helps preserve the arrival experience within a building. Carefully designed lobbies and communal spaces can quickly become cluttered when deliveries accumulate, while secure parcel solutions reduce the likelihood of missed deliveries or parcels being left unattended.

For buyers comparing apartments, these everyday details are becoming part of the decision-making process.

Location, floorplans and finishes remain fundamental, but the features that simplify daily life are carrying greater weight than they once did. As online shopping continues to shape consumer behaviour, secure parcel delivery is increasingly becoming another amenity worth looking for.

Parcel delivery is joining the apartment amenity checklist

Inca Property Group has lodged a State Significant Development Application (SSDA) for Dawn, a 53-apartment oceanfront development overlooking Mona Vale Beach.

The proposal, at 35-39 Darley Street East, would replace an existing 18-apartment strata building with a new owner-occupier-focused development comprising 53 two and three-bedroom apartments, including nine affordable built-to-rent residences delivered under the State's infill affordable housing scheme.

Positioned on a 2,679 sqm elevated site around 280 metres from Mona Vale Beach, the development has been designed to maximise panoramic ocean views while responding to the site's sloping topography.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/inca-property-group">Inca Property Group</a> Managing Director Josh Thompson said the State Significant pathway provided greater certainty for projects of this scale.

"This State Significant pathway gives the team real certainty to progress <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/dawn-35-39-darley-street-east-mona-vale-nsw-2103">Dawn</a> through to completion," Thompson said.

"It allows us to acquire a one-off site, design it carefully and deliver the right offering for the suburb, assessed by the NSW Government's planning department."

The project is one of the first developments in the area to be assessed under the NSW Government's Low and Mid-Rise Housing policy, with the site sitting on the edge of the policy's designated inner area.

The proposal includes three basement levels providing 124 car spaces, alongside a range of resident amenities including a swimming pool, gym, sauna, wellness facilities and private plunge pools for selected ground-floor and penthouse apartments.

<img alt="Dawn" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fc1a1daf-0ce4-4f12-9076-b1fa553c7a91" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-21%20at%208.42.11%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4GZ9h.gpNkTljbxyAET8Jfhv51XUamDm" />

Thompson said Dawn had been designed specifically for owner-occupiers and downsizers, a buyer profile that has driven demand across Inca's recent Upper North Shore developments.

"The majority of buyers in our recent North Shore projects have been downsizers, and we are learning exactly what this market is looking for. Beyond the location itself, we have included resort-style amenities to deliver a genuine lifestyle offering," Thompson said.

Located within walking distance of Mona Vale Beach, the town centre, Mona Vale Golf Club and the Royal Motor Yacht Club, Dawn represents Inca's first Northern Beaches project following the sell-out of Tara on Park in Waitara and Ellis Residences, currently under construction in St Ives.

Construction will be undertaken by Inca's in-house construction arm, GOP Constructions.

Dawn is the latest major apartment proposal for Mona Vale, with the suburb emerging as one of the key beneficiaries of the NSW Government's new Low and Mid-Rise Housing policy.

New developer One Living, led by industry veteran Joseph Scuderi, recently secured a site on Mona Vale Road, on the border of Mona Vale and Pymble, where it is planning around 140 apartments.

IPM is also planning its third project in Mona Vale, significantly increasing the scale of its previous developments with an 82-apartment proposal at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/159-167-darley-street-west-mona-vale-nsw-2103">159-167 Darley Street West</a>, opposite Bayview Golf Course and less than 800 metres from Mona Vale town centre.

Seasoned Victorian apartment developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/central-equity">Central Equity</a> has logged more than $400 million in sales in its luxury apartment project Palmera Residences at Northcliffe on the Gold Coast.&nbsp;

Central Equity Director Karl Kutner said the sales result reflected a combination of location, product quality and delivery certainty with the project already under construction by building powerhouse Multiplex.&nbsp;

"Surpassing $400 million in sales since launch is a significant milestone and an outstanding endorsement of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/palmera-residences-gold-coast-18-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Palmera Residences</a>,” he said.&nbsp;

"We believe one of the key reasons for this strong result is the confidence purchasers have in knowing the project is under construction with Multiplex. Buyers are increasingly looking for certainty. They want to know that the project they commit to today will be delivered by an experienced team with a proven track record."&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365782]

Kutner said it was clear there was still high demand for luxury projects that offered certainty of delivery.&nbsp;

“We are in a market where many residential developments have faced delays due to rising construction costs, labour shortages and financing challenges,” said Kutner.&nbsp;

"But having construction underway has provided our buyers with resounding confidence backed by more than 40 years of development delivery by Central Equity combined with construction by one of Australia's most respected construction companies."&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365785]

Central Equity is one of Australia's most experienced privately-owned property developers. Over more than four decades, the company has delivered in excess of 85 residential developments including 10,000 apartments and many thousands of stand alone homes.&nbsp;

Located on Garfield Terrace at Northcliffe, between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach, Palmera Residences occupies one of the Gold Coast's most sought after beachside locations. The development has been designed to appeal to owner occupiers seeking premium residences that combine generous living spaces and resort style amenities.&nbsp;

Palmera Residences will feature an exceptional collection of resort style amenities, including two swimming pools: a generously sized family pool with safe shallow zones for relaxed recreation, and a 20 metre lap pool positioned to maximise all day sunlight.&nbsp;

Residents will also enjoy exclusive access to wellness and recreational facilities including a magnesium pool, sauna, yoga studio, expansive fitted gymnasium, resident lounge, outdoor BBQ’s&nbsp;and indoor and outdoor dining areas, together with a dedicated concierge and luxurious hotel inspired entrance foyer.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365767]

A unique feature at Palmera Residences has been designed to enhance the Gold Coast lifestyle which includes both indoor and outdoor gymnasium facilities, together with thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor dining and entertaining areas. A corner café has also been incorporated to provide residents with a destination for their everyday needs.&nbsp;

Kutner said buyer demand had been broad based with purchasers attracted from interstate as well as throughout South East Queensland.&nbsp;

"We're seeing strong interest from owner occupiers, lifestyle buyers and people relocating to the Gold Coast. Many purchasers have been searching for a premium beachside residence where quality, design and delivery are equally important."&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365771]

Kutner said the sales milestone was an important achievement, but the focus remained firmly on delivering an exceptional development.&nbsp;

"While reaching $400 million in sales is an important milestone, our priority remains delivering a project that exceeds purchaser expectations,” he said.&nbsp;

"Palmera Residences has been designed to become one of the Gold Coast's landmark residential addresses, and we look forward to welcoming our purchasers to their new homes."&nbsp;

There are a limited number of residences remaining in selected configurations with pricing from $2,950,000 to $8,950,000. Palmera Residences is also crowned by expansive penthouses with wrap around views.

National property developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/goldfields-group">Goldfields</a> has appointed BINAH as its construction partner for Quartet, its new Brisbane apartment development in the undersupplied suburb of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/milton-qld-4064">Milton</a>.

Located just two kilometres from the Brisbane CBD and moments from key 2032 Olympic precincts, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/quartet-milton-33-manning-street-milton-qld-4064">Quartet</a> will deliver 131 one, two, three, and four-bedroom apartments priced from $1 million to $4.2 million, combining elevated design with a wellness-focused lifestyle offering.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=368000]

Goldfields’ Chief Executive Officer, Lachlan Thompson, said the appointment of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/binah-constructions">BINAH</a> marked an important milestone for the project.&nbsp;

“Bringing BINAH on board as our construction partner will allow us to bring our vision for Quartet forward with a team that has a proven track record of delivering high-quality residential projects,” Thompson said.&nbsp;

“We’ve taken a considered approach to progressing the site because we wanted to deliver the whole package. Buyers ultimately back great developers, great projects and great builders, and with Quartet, we’ve made sure all three line up.

“People want certainty, they want to know the project will be built, that the homes will be delivered as promised, and that the developer stands behind the quality of what they create. That’s something Goldfields has built its reputation on over many years.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=367993]

BINAH’s Managing Director, Khalil Hafza, said the company was proud to be partnering with Goldfields to deliver Quartet.&nbsp;

“Quartet is an exciting project to bring to life, particularly given the level of detail in the residences and the extensive rooftop amenity planned for the building,” Mr Hafza said.&nbsp;

“Our focus is on delivering a high-quality build that brings that design vision to life and creates homes residents will enjoy for many years.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=367999]

The facilities at Quartet have been feared towards the roof, with a&nbsp;25 metre lap pool, spa, sauna and cold plunge, and a communal barbecue area and alfresco.

Town planning was designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> and brought to life by Melbourne-based architecture firm Cera Stribley.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/cera-stribley">Cera Stribley</a> Co-Founder and Managing Principal, Dom Cerantonio, said the project responds to both its riverside setting and Brisbane’s evolving urban character.&nbsp;

“Quartet has been designed to sit comfortably within its riverside context, offering a refined take on urban living through well-planned, generously proportioned residences that will stand the test of time,” Mr Cerantonio said.&nbsp;

“An emphasis on natural light, natural textures and carefully selected finishes from timber and marble to premium appliances, creates calm, considered interiors designed for comfort and long-term liveability.”&nbsp;

Construction of Quartet will commence in July 2026, with completion anticipated in Q4 2028.

The first partnership between national developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/fortis">Fortis</a> and Adelaide-based developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/otello">Otello</a> has made a strong start, with the pair securing $21 million in unconditional sales at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/one-four-four-hutt-adelaide-144-hutt-street-adelaide-sa-5000">One Four Four Hutt</a>&nbsp;on the edge of the Adelaide CBD.

Over a third of apartments have been snapped up in the boutique 44-apartment project on the corner of Hutt Stret and Wakefield Road. Local downsizers and owner-occupiers wanting to remain in Adelaide's tightly-held southeast quarter have been the most prominent purchasers.

The DKO-designed, mixed-use development is one of the few new apartment projects in the precinct, an area where new housing supply has remained limited despite continued demand from buyers wanting to stay close to the CBD, Victoria Park and Adelaide's established east-end amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151233 project_image_fid=375378]

Fortis Head of Development SA Arthur Dendrinos said the early sales reflected both the strength of the local owner-occupier market and confidence in the Hutt Street location.

"The level of early commitment reflects the confidence local buyers have in the Hutt Street precinct," Dendrinos said.

"Many purchasers are long-term east-end residents who love the area and want to stay connected to the neighbourhood. They recognise the value of a well-designed, well-located development.

"Our partnership with Otello has been central to this success, and the number of unconditional sales at this stage only strengthens our confidence in the South Australian market."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151233 project_image_fid=375379]

Otello Director Daniel Harris said the sales result also highlighted the lack of new apartment opportunities within the Hutt Street precinct.

"One Four Four Hutt has clearly resonated with buyers, with strong early sales reflecting both the appeal of the Hutt Street corridor and the lifestyle on offer," Harris said.

"The activated ground-floor retail has also been a key drawcard, with purchasers responding to the vision of a more vibrant and connected streetscape, not just the residences themselves."

One Four Four Hutt will deliver 44 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, alongside a collection of penthouses, above a ground-floor retail offering designed to further activate the Hutt Street precinct.

Construction is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of this year, with completion anticipated in 2028.

Fortis Head of Development SA Arthur Dendrinos said the early sales reflected both the strength of the local owner-occupier market and confidence in the Hutt Street location.

Just four to go in State Government Millers Point sell off

The NSW Government's sell off of historic Millers Point properties continues, with three more fetching just over $20 million at a recent auction.
The sell off began in August 2014, which has now seen 153 properties sold for a total over $483 million.
The latest properties sold were on High Street at Millers Point.
The priciest was a block of eight Federation-style two bedroom units at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-unitblock-nsw-millers+point-128105306" target="_blank">22-28A High Street</a> (above) which sold for $9.6 million.
Another block of four Federation-style units down the road at <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-other-nsw-millers+point-502778814" target="_blank">18-20A High Street</a> (below) sold for $5,106,000 on the night.
The third block of four three bedroom units at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-unitblock-nsw-millers+point-128116818" target="_blank">5-7 High Street</a> sold for $5,605,000 through Sydney Sotheby's.

McGrath handled the sales of the other two properties.
There were a total of nine registered bidders across both properties.
Agent Andrew Stewart said similar blocks in High Street and its surrounds have now been restored and are achieving solid investment returns.
“The rental market in Millers Point continues to strengthen as more people become aware of the suburb and what it offers," Stewart noted.
"While in the past the suburb was predominately social housing, it’s now evolving into one of Sydney’s most sought after residential destinations with a mix of owner occupiers and rental properties.”
McGrath agent Peter Starr said that long term investors recognised that the Millers Point precinct offered substantial medium to long term capital gain opportunity, with the pool of potential tenants from Barangaroo (30,000 when complete) a significant drawcard.

Stevens Buildings in Millers Point, the first residential apartment building to be constructed in New South Wales, has fetched $10.05 million in its auction through Property New South Wales.
The <a href="http://commercialpropertysearch.savills.com.au/160c629a-58c3-e711-80d1-005056816353/Sale/Millers-Point/73-Windmill-Street,-Millers-Point" target="_blank">Windmill Street building</a>, designed by architect Joseph Alexander Kethel, comprises 11 apartments with views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Garrison Church and Observatory Hill.
There are nine one bedroom apartments and two two bedroom apartments, with open balconies to each level. The ground floor apartments have their own courtyards.
It was built in 1900 as a boarding house on the site of the former ‘Live and Let Live Hotel.'
<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/2017/11/28/Stevens2.jpg" alt="">
The property (above) was marketed by Savills agents Rob Lowe and David Hickey in conjunction with Sotheby's.
They had a $9 million to $9.5 million guide for its auction, with it sold in one line. 
An entire row of period terrace duplexes has also been sold off by Property NSW on behalf of Family and Community Services as part of the Millers Point sales programme to fund social housing.
The building, 74-80a High Street, comprises eight two-bedroom period terrace duplexes divided into two blocks each comprising four apartments on a 539 sqm island site. 
74-80a High Street (below) was expected to fetch about $8 million to $8.5 million, and sold at $9.8 million.
The block is one of a group of early twentieth century workmen’s apartments built by the Sydney Harbour Trust in the early 1900’s.

The final sales of the year in the Millers Point Property NSW government sell off brought in nearly $23 million last night.
The total, $22,901,000, was spread across seven properties (below). The biggest sale of the night was an 1820 Argyle Place landmark (above) that fetched $6.3 million. It had a $5 million to $5.5 million guide.
The selloff has now seen McGrath sell over $441 million worth of Millers Point properties since August 2014. They've had a 100 percent clearance rate across the 144 dwellings.
McGrath executive director John McGrath spoke on the continual strong results.
“Last night was a very strong result for the Millers Point portfolio which highlights how demand for high quality property continues, despite the residential market levelling off this year.
"Our 100% auction clearance rate to date is an amazing result and a testament to the hard work of the entire team.
“Millers Point is fast becoming Sydney’s most desirable address and will continue to rise in value from here into the future.
"With Barangaroo, Sydney Harbour and the CBD as its neighbours plus the Sydney Theatre Company and Opera House in its backyard, it now sits amongst the best addresses in the world.”
The properties were marketed by Lorraine Crawford, Peter Starr and Andrew Stewart of McGrath Edgecliff.
46-48 Argyle Place had healthy bidding from two buyers who appreciated the heritage significance and the potential for it to be a grand home with parking on a large block in the beautiful suburb of Millers Point.
Throughout 2017 McGrath sold 41 properties as part of the Millers Point Sales Program, comprising several blocks of units, terraces and apartments.

The highest price achieved this year was $26 Million in September for the historic Workers Dwellings in Millers Point.
The block compromised 33 apartments in four buildings and sold to a well-known property group. McGrath Edgecliff agent Peter Starr, who managed the sale, said the result demonstrated the ongoing confidence in the future of Millers Point and the long-term capital growth anticipated.

Sydney's first residential apartment building listed for sale in Millers Point

<html><body>
Two residential properties in the historic suburb of Millers Point, including Sydney’s first ever walk-up apartment building and an entire row of period terrace duplexes, will be sold through auction on December 14.
There is a price guide of $9 million to $9.5 million, which will be the second most expensive Millers Point disposal, after a block of 12 apartments at 44-48 Merriman Street and 56-62 Bettington Street sold for $12.3 million in 2016.
They are being sold off by Property NSW on behalf of Family and Community Services as part of the Millers Point sales programme to fund social housing. So far, the sales have delivered more than $467 million.
As of August, 655 new social housing dwellings have been completed and 422 dwellings are under construction, Property NSW said in a media release.
‘Stevens Buildings’ at 73 Windmill Street (picture above) is of architectural importance and is recognised by the NSW Trust as the first residential apartment building to be constructed in NSW.
Designed by renowned architect Joseph Alexander Kethel (1866-1946), the heritage building sits on a 1,802 sqm site and comprises 11 apartments (nine x one bedroom and two x two bedrooms) capturing views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Garrison Church and Observatory Hill.
It was built in 1900 as a boarding house on the site of the former ‘Live and Let Live Hotel’ and was the first walk-up block of flats in Sydney.
Some apartments offer dual aspect and flow through. All have open balconies with the ground floor with its own courtyard.
The other building, 74-80a High Street, comprises eight two-bedroom period terrace duplexes divided into two blocks each comprising four apartments on a 539 sqm island site. 74-80a High Street is expected to fetch about $8 million to $8.5 million.
The block is one of a group of early twentieth century workmen’s apartments built by the Sydney Harbour Trust in the early 1900’s.

There is scope to transform the apartments to their original condition, subject to Conservation Management Plan (CMP). The solid brick construction boasts deep verandahs, spacious kitchens, living and dining areas, with the first floor duplexes also comprising roof-top drying terraces with panoramic views across Barangaroo, Balmain and Darling Harbour.
Both addresses will be sold in one line (separately) via public auction through Robert Lowe and David Hickey of Savills Australia and Richard Shalhoub of Sotheby’s International Realty on behalf of Property NSW.
“This is a truly unique occasion for investors and developers alike to own a piece of Sydney’s rich heritage” said Robert Lowe of Savills.
Richard Shalhoub of Sotheby’s International Realty added that there was potential to transform the 1900’s historical masterpiece ‘Stevens Buildings’ into luxurious residences.
“There is actually tremendous scope to restore and transform both assets which are zoned as R1 General Residential, which will provide housing needs for the community and maintain the existing land use pattern of predominately residential use and we expect interest from both local and offshore investors and developers” he continued.
Separately, McGrath Estate Agents have also started marketing the following properties that are to be auctioned on December 6:
<ul>
<li>40 Merriman Street - one bedroom terrace</li>
<li>42 Merriman Street terrace - one bedroom terrace</li>
<li>125 Kent Street - four-bedroom terrace</li>
<li>46-48 Argyle Place - five-bedroom terrace</li>
<li>88 Kent Street terrace - four-bedroom terrace</li>
<li>61 Windmill Street terrace  - three-bedroom terrace</li>
<li>70-72 High Street - block of four apartments, each with 2 bedrooms</li>
</ul>

Millers Point terraces sold for $18.7 million total

<html><body>
Smarta Property, a Double Bay-based developer, has bought the historic 33-unit Workers Dwellings building in harbourside Millers Point for $26 million which it hopes to convert into luxury apartments. 
Its plan is to refurbish the property, turning it into luxury dwellings.
The developer bought the three-storey block of 33 apartments from the NSW government as part of its public housing sell-off to fund affordable housing.
The Workers Dwellings were originally built by the Sydney Harbour Trust circa 1910 for wharf labourers, storemen, stevedores and gasworks hands. 
The $26 million transaction is the largest so far in the Millers Point sales programme, through which the government has raised $448 million, according to The Australian.
The government selloff is also resulting in the gentrification of Millers Point, with the suburb transforming into an elite club.
Lawyers and real estate executives are making multimillion-dollar purchases of former hous­ing commission terraces and units and turning them into exquisite inner-city mansions.
Smarta Property, run by brothers Luke and Andrew Veron, has a history of refurbishing apartment blocks but this will be its most significant project. 
Located between 30 Lower Fort Street and 4 Trinity Avenue, the apartments are being designed to house the professionals working in the nearby Barangaroo precinct.
Smarta plans to restore the homes, bringing them up to an ultra-modern standard and selling them off within 18 months.
Any refurbishments of the historic properties must be in line with the  conservation guidelines endorsed by the NSW Heritage Council.
“We’re going to renovate, strata them, and sell them off individually,” director Luke Veron said.
Of the 33 apartments, 21 are three-bedders while the rest are one-bedroom units.
Following closure of a public tender process, the historic building was sold via negotiations managed by Peter Starr, Lorraine Crawford and Andrew Stewart of McGrath.
The project fits with Smarta’s focus on boutique projects. Recent developments include eight units in waterside Balmain and a 36-unit block in Lilyfield.
The apartments were sold in one line, rather than as four separate lots of units, as the greatest value could be realised by one developer.
With more properties being offered at Millers Point, more Barangaroo executives are tipped to chase the remaining real estate in the harbourside enclave.
“It’s going to be beautiful,” Starr said, citing London’s exclusive Knightsbridge and Kensington districts as points of comparison.
“This is the oldest suburb in Australia — but it hasn’t been in private ownership since around 1900,” he said.
The latest batch of properties will be auctioned on October 11.
