<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/capital-corporation">Capital Corporation</a> has announced that its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/lovedale-farm-1054-1184-wine-country-drive-lovedale-nsw-2325">Lovedale Farm</a> residential, resort and golf project has secured $24.6 million in sales in just three weeks since the opening of its display home, underscoring the appetite for premium lifestyle property in the Hunter Valley countryside.

The sales milestone has been driven by a diverse mix of buyers, including owner-occupiers and investors from Sydney, Newcastle and the local Hunter region, purchasing both land-only lots and house and land packages across the development.

&nbsp;

The result builds on the momentum generated at the display home opening on 22 March, which attracted more than 460 attendees.

With house and land pricing from $1.14 million, Lovedale Farm continues to attract strong interest from buyers seeking a premium lifestyle offering at a compelling price point. The development’s vision, a championship golf course, future epicurean village and access to the Hunter Valley’s celebrated wine country, has resonated with a broad buyer profile, from first-time investors to those looking to make the move and call the Hunter Valley home.

Jim Hunter, Managing Director of Capital Corporation said the response since opening the display home has been encouraging.

"To reach $24.6 million in sales in just three weeks speaks to the genuine demand for a lifestyle community of this calibre in the Hunter Valley," Hunter says.

"We’re seeing buyers from across the region and beyond, including investors who recognise the long-term value, and owner-occupiers who simply want to live somewhere truly special.

“Lovedale Farm is two decades in the making, and the market’s response is everything we hoped for. We’re excited to see these first buyers become part of the Lovedale Farm story from the very beginning."

&nbsp;

Spanning 240 hectares on Wine Country Drive in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/lovedale-nsw-2325">Lovedale</a>, the $1 billion development is expected to deliver around 1,250 jobs during construction and inject more than $300 million into the local economy. The first 200 homes and championship 18-hole golf course are anticipated for completion in late 2027.

Capital Corporation has also lodged development plans for the Lovedale Farm clubhouse, set to become a vibrant hub for residents and the wider Hunter Valley community. Further releases are planned for later this year.

Lovedale Farm display home opening triggers $24.6 million in sales in three weeks

Prominent Malaysian developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/osk-property">OSK Property</a> has unveiled <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/aura-at-melbourne-square-7-hoff-boulevard-southbank-vic-3006">Aura</a>, the next stage of its $3.5 billion Melbourne Square precinct in Southbank, continuing its push into wellness-led, amenity-rich apartment living.

The $800 million tower, planned for 7 Hoff Boulevard, will rise 67 storeys and deliver 673 apartments, with COX Architecture drawing on both Japanese design principles and Australia’s natural landscape to shape the building’s identity. A rectangular grid aesthetic defines the building’s exterior, with COX drawing design cues from New York high-rises and Tokyo’s skyline.

Aura builds on a growing trend in high-density living, where wellness is no longer an add-on but central to the product. The development is structured around four key pillars, combining calm, minimalist residences with layered communal spaces, landscaped gardens, and a suite of wellness amenities designed to support both physical and mental wellbeing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151921 project_image_fid=367465]

At the core of the project is what OSK describes as a vertical wellness ecosystem, a multi-level approach to amenity that integrates health, lifestyle, and social spaces throughout the building rather than confining them to a single level.

The main resident hub, the Aura Club on level seven, will include a pool, cold plunge, spa, gym, Pilates and yoga studios, alongside more lifestyle-driven inclusions like a golf simulator, music rooms, library, and work-from-home spaces. Above, a series of higher-level amenity zones, including the Meridian Club and Cumulus Club, introduce more refined, social and retreat-style environments, with private dining, lounges, and premium wellness spaces positioned to take advantage of city views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151921 project_image_fid=367467]

The residences themselves will largely include balconies, a key design move in a market increasingly focused on natural light, airflow, and connection to the outdoors. Views will extend across the CBD, the Arts Precinct, Royal Botanic Gardens, and beyond.

Aura also introduces approximately 1,600 sqm of retail across the lower levels, further activating the Melbourne Square precinct, which already includes Kennedy Park, a Woolworths, childcare, and a growing mix of hospitality operators.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151921 project_image_fid=367474]

“Aura stands tall as an exemplar of holistic wellness – its focus on social, physical and mental health culminate in a building that is calming, restorative and relaxing, where residents will have their own sanctuary within the well-connected and sought-after <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/southbank-vic-3006">Southbank</a>," says&nbsp;OSK Property CEO Chong Boon Woon.

“We have been very encouraged by the market’s response to the BLVD offering, and we know there is a strong demand for the level of amenity, service and design that the Melbourne Square precinct is known for.

“Complemented by work-from-home lounges for professionals, family friendly outdoor garden spaces, and state-of-the-art fitness and wellness facilities, Aura will continue our focus on maximising physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing,” he said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151921 project_image_fid=367475]

The project follows the strong performance of BLVD, which is now around 80 per cent sold, and reinforces OSK Property’s long-term commitment to Melbourne Square as a fully integrated, mixed-use precinct.

Construction is expected to commence in late 2026.

OSK unveils AURA, the latest stage in Southbank's $3.5 billion Melbourne Square precinct

National developer Time &amp; Place appears to have settled on a design for its long-anticipated Potts Point project.

After several years of back and forth with local council and the NSW Government, the developer, which has spent seven years targeting the former The Chimes site on Macleay Street, has now progressed its plans.

Following a concept design submission last year by SJB, Time &amp; Place has lodged a full State Significant Development Application with the NSW Government, this time for a scheme designed by Kerry Hill Architects.

<img alt="Time &amp; Place" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="504d2a27-d65f-4227-8189-1e35e3376e62" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-20%20at%209.38.24%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=_XqFKATYHF30KnVByPxhaI9UBzmkmfn7" />

The 16-storey proposal includes 44 apartments, 21 of which will be build-to-sell. These will comprise 19 three-bedroom apartments and two four-bedroom units.

More than 50 per cent of the development will be dedicated to affordable housing, with 23 studio apartments to be delivered in line with the NSW Government’s Housing SEPP.

Kerry Hill Architects said the proposal is driven by a strong response to place.

“Our proposal for a new residential building for Potts Point in Sydney is driven by a deep consideration of place,” the practice said in its submission.

“This operates on multiple levels, including a landscape approach that reinstates endemic flora of the Sydney peninsula and provides a ground-floor garden for residents, reconnecting the site to its pre-European history. A brick podium further strengthens this relationship to context, integrating planting and fine bronze detailing that references the predominant material language of Macleay Street.”

The three-level podium will be topped by a communal resident space, featuring a covered pool designed to receive direct afternoon sun in winter, a neighbouring reflection pool, dining and event areas oriented to maximise sunset views, and an outdoor exercise zone.

<img alt="Time &amp; Place" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8d3eedc1-babb-44a3-bd96-d8a42f3adf1f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-20%20at%209.37.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Ii7.4dvqNatu5GQi6bhqNjAswrMB998." />

The design also incorporates highly crafted shopfronts and a clearly defined residential entry to activate the street. Juliette balconies to the podium residences will provide passive surveillance and a strong sense of habitation.

Above, the larger apartments are housed within a light-coloured masonry and bronze tower.

“The tower steps back in a series of gently curved volumes that reference the rich Art Deco context of Macleay Street,” the architects said. “Carefully calibrated vertical fins frame the views while providing privacy and a sense of refuge.”

<img alt="Time &amp; Place" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6fab60f4-3140-4469-b47a-48c781e0a30b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-20%20at%209.28.44%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=e5XxrM3kzdASdKlcIACHAHbOSZhSKC9O" />

Time &amp; Place has been one of the most active developers nationally in the last 12 to 24 months. Late last year they completed&nbsp;The Queensbridge in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/southbank-vic-3006">Southbank</a>, a mixed-use tower with 353 apartments and a hotel. They are currently selling Park Modern, 246 apartments near the famous Botanic Gardens in South Melbourne.

The developer has approval for The Burke, a mixed-use project in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/glen-iris-vic-3146">Glen Iris</a>&nbsp;being delivered in partnership with Woolworths. The 60 apartments, positioned above a new Woolworths supermarket, are expected to launch in the coming months. Time &amp; Place is also progressing plans for the redevelopment of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/northcote-vic-3070">Northcote</a>&nbsp;Plaza, and have recently submitted plans for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/vic/time-place-unveils-plans-22-storey-south-melbourne-tower">22-storey tower</a>, another in South Melbourne.

In&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a>, the developer has two projects in Manly: Two Tides, which is currently under construction, and an ultra high-end building on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/shoreline-manly-beach-89-90-north-steyne-manly">North Steyne</a>, fronting the beach. It is also continuing to work through the redevelopment of The Chimes building on Macleay Street in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/potts-point-nsw-2011">Potts Point</a>, as well as Marlborough House, the redevelopment of the original David Jones warehouse building in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/surry-hills-nsw-2010">Surry Hills</a>.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/develotek">Develotek</a> is joining the likes of TOGA, Deicorp, and One Global Capital, betting on a boom in Five Dock ahead of the 2032 mooted opening of the Five Dock Metro Station.

Develotek, which is currently developing Bianca on the Drummoyne waterfront and has plans approved for a tower in Chatswood, has filed a State Significant Development Application for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/79-81-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">two-building project in the evolving Kings Bay precinct</a>.

The buildings, one more boutique just five storeys and the other 26 storeys, will rise from an 3,158 sqm site across&nbsp;79–81 Queens Road and 2–8 Spencer Street, will home 134 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, above ground-floor retail and five basement levels of parking.

A key component of the proposal is the inclusion of 15 per cent of residential floor space as in-fill affordable housing, unlocking additional height and density under the Housing SEPP.

<img alt="First Look: Develotek lodges State Significant shop top housing project in Five Dock precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3ee31bf7-75ba-4bc5-b190-49885193219f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/podium_2.png?VersionId=730UbrduuwK3C1sO28RHjiLPUPqXqjkh" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-studio">Plus Studio</a>, the scheme adopts a podium-and-tower configuration, with a five-storey street wall along Queens Road transitioning to a 26-storey tower set deeper into the site. The ground plane prioritises activation and permeability, with retail frontages and a new through-site link connecting Queens Road to Spencer Street.

At the upper levels, the tower façade has been conceived using a modular system to support prefabrication and reduce construction waste, while improving build efficiency. The splayed form draws on the geometry of surrounding industrial rooftops, reinterpreting the area’s heritage in a contemporary expression while also helping to reduce solar heat gain to east and west-facing apartments.

“This project aspires to transform a former industrial site into a connected, resilient and people-focused urban community, grounded in Country, shaped by history, and designed to enrich everyday life within the evolving Kings Bay Precinct,” said John Walsh, Principal at Plus Studio.

The proposal reflects the broader transformation of the Kings Bay Precinct under the Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation Strategy, marking a shift from its industrial past to a higher-density, mixed-use urban neighbourhood.

<img alt="First Look: Develotek lodges State Significant shop top housing project in Five Dock precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="abde734c-1e31-4a97-a1d2-fa9bcf31c380" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/building%20podium.png?VersionId=fNUupP6u146yEytQT31kKVRxwtACgPpP" />

Develotek is emerging as an active participant in the state’s affordable housing-led uplift pathway. The developer recently secured approval for a 34-storey mixed-use tower in Chatswood, where it similarly leveraged the in-fill affordable housing provisions to increase scale and deliver a 101-unit scheme with dedicated affordable apartments.

Their entry into Five Dock places them alongside a growing list of developers targeting the suburb ahead of its anticipated transport uplift, with Sydney Metro set to extend into the area. Major players including TOGA, Deicorp, and One Global Capital are all progressing large-scale precinct-style developments nearby, collectively reshaping the low-rise industrial fabric into a higher-density mixed-use corridor.

The Five Dock site sits within the Kings Bay Precinct, a key renewal area under the Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation Strategy, where planning controls support significant uplift tied to affordable housing delivery. The consolidated 3,158 sqm site is currently occupied by low-rise industrial uses, including warehouses and vehicle workshops, earmarked for transition.

Ascot’s Racecourse Road continues to be a hive of activity for Brisbane developers.

Following Fortis and GRAYA, which are both preparing new projects along the key strip connecting Kingsford Smith Drive and Eagle Farm Racecourse, local developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/skyhold">Skyhold</a> is the latest to lodge plans for its own development.

The group is proposing One One Two Residences, a boutique project comprising just seven apartments, named after its address at 112 Racecourse Road.

The proposal outlines a five-storey building on an 810 sqm site. The built form slightly exceeds the four-storey expectation under the neighbourhood plan, aligning instead with the emerging character of the strip. As the planning report notes, “the locality is characterised by a transition toward medium-rise residential development, with a number of recent developments… above the stipulated height limits.”

<img alt="First Look: Skyhold lodges plans for boutique Ascot apartments as Racecourse Road revival gathers pace" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ec577631-8c51-4163-960e-e7b3a77d655b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Ascot.png?VersionId=iAzQ46D4Uu1UqiS0mVnlcy9jeFKBpJIj" />

Designed by 111 with landscape architecture by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/paul-bangay-garden-design">Paul Bangay Studio</a>, the scheme adopts a layered architectural approach with strong articulation and a subtropical response. Deep balconies, integrated planters, and a mix of masonry and textured finishes define the façade, while upper-level setbacks reduce perceived bulk. The architectural statement describes “a series of horizontally expressed layers, defined by deep balconies and a consistent robust material palette,” aimed at delivering a refined streetscape presence.

Apartments are configured as large-format residences, including multiple three-bedroom layouts and a full-floor penthouse, supported by ground-level parking. A rooftop terrace will provide communal amenities including a pool and landscaped recreation areas. The design prioritises privacy, natural ventilation, and greenery, with planting integrated across all levels to soften the building form and contribute to the public realm.

<img alt="First Look: Skyhold lodges plans for boutique Ascot apartments as Racecourse Road revival gathers pace" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1e1219bd-b45a-4d7f-bbc7-7207d7b2fc94" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Ascot%20entry.png?VersionId=JIoUOLMgQ5xWpEF0etEI3ffIoIVjD7gO" />

The proposal sits within the Racecourse Road precinct, a key mixed-use spine in Ascot that continues to attract renewed development interest.

Later this year national developer Fortis will launch its own boutique development, which, pending council approvals, will be 16 apartments designed by Koichi Takada Architects, just down the street.

“Racecourse Road is going through a massive revitalisation and we’re proud to be a part of that transformation,” said Fortis's QLD General Manager, Dan Boman.

Nearby, GRAYA is advancing its larger-scale The Gallery, a mixed-use shop-top housing project designed to act as a “catalytic project for Racecourse Road.”

The Mitala Newport, a collection of four luxury houses, has seen another prestige sale, this one at $4.7 million.
It comes 14 months after the first sale in Mitala, a $5 million deal to a Castle Hill buyer.
The homes were designed by architect Mark Hurcum, who is keeping one.
Hurcum, along with an ­investor family, paid $6.1 million for the 3665 square metre Pine Lodge estate in 2017.
The homes have been were initially listed through LJ ­Hooker agents Peter Robinson, David Edwards, Claudio Marcolongo and David Watson, as well as Domain Residential agents Peter Grant and Nik Vuko in spring 2019.
The latest sale was notified by LJ Hooker Avalon.
Peninsula locals say other than one offs, there hasn’t been a quality housing project like it since John David’s Palm Beach triplex, The Boatshed.

Mitala Newport secures another prestige sale

<html><body>
The $24.5 million sale of the Newport waterfront home of Jennifer Hawkins and Jake Wall saw out the quietest of ­financial years for ­prestige sales.
It took the glamorous couple eight months to ­secure the record setting price for Casa Paloma.
The four-level residence, designed by Koichi Takada on its 3360sq m holding, sold just two days before June 30, and just short of three years after they moved in.
<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/2020/6/30/Hawkins%202.jpg" alt="">

The couple have suggested they intend to head to the Central Coast.
It was sold by Ken Jacobs at Christie’s International, in the first $20 million-plus deal outside of Palm Beach on Sydney’s northern beaches, with Finisterre on Avalon’s Stokes Point selling for close to $20 million to the Oatley family in 2002.
Hawkins and Wall bought their adjoining blocks in March 2014 for $4 million. 
Sydney’s financial year top home sale was $40 million in Point Piper last September when Westpac director Steve Harker sold his harbour-front to entrepreneur Gabriel Jakob and his wife, Alexandra, on extended settlement terms, with demolition plans emerging last month for a family triplex.
There is mystery surrounding the two most ­recent prestige sales as both were off-market.
The highest is believed to have been $33 million for Berthong on Elizabeth Bay. Then last month Alex Thorp and Shay Lewis-Thorp, sold in Bellevue Hill for a reported $30 million to neighbour Louise ­Christie through Pillinger Real Estate.

Jennifer Hawkins and Jake Wall's Pittwater home one of highest financial year sales

<html><body>
The billionaire Atlasssian co-founder Michael Cannon-Brookes and wife, Annie were the mystery buyers of Casa Paloma, the Newport waterfront home of Jennifer Hawkins and Jake Wall.
It sold in late June the last days of what was the quietest of financial years for prestige sales having been listed with $20 million hopes.
It sold for $24.5 million, a new record for the northern beaches after a spike of buyer interest through Christie's International selling agent Ken Jacobs.
The prior highest sale was when the late Sam Chisholm’s Palm Beach home was sold to Caledonia fund manager Mike Messara for $24 million in February. 
It took the glamorous couple eight months to secure their buyer of Casa Paloma, which many inspectees suggested was the best built home on the pricey peninsula.
The four-level residence, designed by Koichi Takada on its 3360 square metre holding, sold just two days before June 30, and just short of three years after they moved in.
The couple have suggested they intend to head to the Central Coast, but their relocation plan has not been revealed.
Hawkins and Wall bought adjoining their adjoining blocks in 2014 for $4 million. 
It is the first $20 million-plus deal outside of Palm Beach on Sydney’s northern beaches with Finisterre on Avalon’s Stokes Point selling for close to $20 million in 2002 to the Oatley wine making family.
The Cannon Brookes already own at Palm Beach, but had been looking to upgrade.
Jake Wall's plans were revealed in 2015.
The couple had previously lived at Curl Curl North where Jen and Jake have watched whales cruising across the horizon in the Windy Drop Down gated community.
Before Hawkins made the move to the northern beaches, she owned a townhouse in Coogee, which cost $2.27 million in 2009 for $2.27 million and was sold for $2.3 million in 2012.

Jennifer Hawkins and Jake Wall have listed Casa Paloma, their Newport home, just two years after moving in.
The four-level waterfront residence was designed by architect Koichi Takada on its 3360 square metre holding.
The interiors are by Sarah-Jayne Marriott and Hellen Pappas.

<div id="adspot-1x1-pos-5">“It’s going to be really sad to say goodbye to this beautiful home and location,” Hawkins told Nine Entertainment, on the issuing of a hazy 2.30 minute video which makes no reference to any listing agent.</div>
<div class="in-content-ad">
“We really made some amazing memories here but I’m looking forward to designing a house with Jake with a similar aesthetic closer to family.
“I’ve always dreamed of living on an acreage by the ocean and now that we’ve just had our daughter Frankie we’d like to live closer to family while she’s young but still close to our work in the city, so we have our eye on Avoca, MacMasters and (sic) Womberal.”
It is reported the former Myer ambassador hopes Christies will secure the first $20 million-plus residential sale outside of Palm Beach on Sydney's northern beaches.
The waterfront estate Finisterre on Avalon’s Stokes Point sold for close to $20 million in 2002 to the Oatley family.
Hawkins’ first home was a three-bedroom house in Merewether, near Newcastle, which she bought for $469,000 in 2006 and sold two years ago for $782,355.
It was part of her then more expansive property portfolio.
Hawkins and Wall bought adjoining blocks in 2014 for $4 million that secured <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-residential+land-nsw-newport-2640148" target="_blank">Jacaranda Cottage</a> and the lesser, <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-newport-105663970" target="_blank">Blois Cottage</a> through LJ Hooker agent David Watson.
The properties were once part of the longtime estate of the former politician William Wentworth.
The couple's Pittwater home building proposal was <a href="/news/jennifer-hawkins-and-jake-walls-2-million-plans-for-their-pittwater-home">costed at $2 million in construction</a>.
Jennifer Hawkins and husband Jake Wall announced the arrival of their first child, daughter Frankie Violet in October.

The Mitala Newport, a collection of four luxury houses, has seen a $5 million deal as its first sale to a Castle Hill buyer.
The homes were designed by architect Mark Hurcum, who is keeping one.
Hurcum, along with an ­investor family, paid $6.1 million for the 3665 square metre Pine Lodge estate in 2017.
The <a href="https://realas.com/property/8-MITALA-STREET-NEWPORT-NSW-2106-16692316" target="_blank">homes have been listed</a> through LJ ­Hooker agents Peter Robinson, David Edwards, Claudio Marcolongo and David Watson, as well as Domain Residential agents Peter Grant and Nik Vuko.
Peninsula locals say other than one offs, there hasn’t been a quality housing project like it since John David’s Palm Beach triplex, The Boatshed.
Realestate.com.au puts the Newport house median at $1.7 million.

Mitala Newport secures first sale

<html><body>
Former Pandora Australia jewellery boss Karin Adcock has sold her Newport waterfront abode, Melody Lane for around $9 million, which had been listed last October with $10 million expectations.
Adcock sold Pandora for about $100 million in 2012, with her latest pursuit in wines.
She bought the Beaconsfield Parade waterfront for $8.1 million in 2009 from the surfing entrepreneur Harry Hodge.
Domain reported "independent sources" say ithad have sold for close to the $9 million mark.
The suburb record has stood since 2008 when her then-husband Brook Adcock, who founded the private equity firm Adcock Private Equity, spent $14.6 million nearby on the dress circle on Pittwater.
Adcock's recently bought nearby non-waterfront house on Yachtsmans Paradise has also been listed for sale at $4 million.

Mitala Newport, a collection of four luxury freestanding houses, have been completed on the dress circle address of the Sydney northern beaches suburb.
They are located on Mitala Street which leads to the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club.
The designer homes are the work of architect Mark Hurcum, who, along with a local family, paid just over $6.1 million for the sprawling Pine Lodge in 2017.
Pine Lodge, on a 3,665 square metre landholding looking across Pittwater, had been held by the Gee family for 60 years.
There was a gracious old sandstone cottage, plus timber cabin, pool, boatshed, timber jetty, ramp and pontoon.
All of the buildings on the property were demolished, and now stand four stylishly modern homes, each offering a different floor plan and 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/2019/8/23/Mitala%20NEwport%204.jpg" alt=""> The covered terrace of 6A Mitala Street.
Constructed by Cutting Edge Building, they sit in gardens landscaped by Cameron Lester.
Hurcum said Mitala Newport was designed and constructed as a celebration of the art of living.
He said the site is ideally sited in a protected enclave at the southern end of Pittwater.
It sits between and within walking distance of the Royal Motor Yacht Club and the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club.
"Unlike many Pittwater waterfront sites, the waterfront is easily accessible," Harcrum said.
"It is a great location for activity and contemplation
"The amenity is apartment like, one level living and lift access but with house amenity in terms of privacy, guest and family accommodation, large three car garage and abundant storage.
"Each dwelling has private, useable and low maintenance gardens with a range of micro-climates and landscape. Each has its own private lap pool.
"These buildings are about place and environment. As such the native and nautical environment have inspired the buildings.
"The aim was to create buildings that had the feeling of living on a luxury yacht In a secluded and private harbour, at one with the environment, maximising its benefits and maintaining control over it.
"This is the ultimate sea change but still directly connected to the city."
Three of the four homes, currently known as 6, 6A (pictured above and below) and 8, have been listed for sale through LJ Hooker Palm Beach agents Peter Robinson and David Edwards.

They're asking for offers in the region of $5 million for the two non-waterfront 6A and 8A, while number six, one of the two waterfronts, will be priced at a record $10 million.
Hurcum is keeping the fourth freestanding home as his own.
"He loves the design and location so much he decided that is where he would like to live," Robinson said.
Each residence is configured differently, but all have the potential to be set up with four bedrooms.
The kitchen, living and dining areas in the non-waterfront homes have been designed on the second level to take advantage of the water views. 
<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/2019/8/23/Mitala%20Newport%202.jpg" alt=""> The modern kitchen of 6A Mitala Street designed by Mark Hurcum.
The waterfront number six, with its primary living space on the ground floor, opens to a terrace complete with a heated lap pool that looks across its private landscaped surrounds.
Dissecting the four unique homes is a path that leads to a communal jetty which has deep water mooring. 
Peninsula locals say there hasn't been the attention to details since John David's Palm Beach triplex, a collaboration between Wally Barda and Thomas Hamel.
The triplex villa project on Palm Beach's Snapperman Beach, The Boatshed won the villa development of the year award at the Housing Industry Association's national awards.
Roderic David oversaw the development of the Iluka Road property with curved roof lines that hint at the bow of a ship.
Newport's highest residential house sale has stood since 2008 when Brook Adcock, who founded private equity firm Adcock Private Equity, spent $14.6 million on the Prince Alfred Parade dress circle on Pittwater. 
Australian golfer Craig Parry is likely to be spending more time around Newport, having recently sold his Birchgrove harbourfront home for around $10 million.
Parry first bought onto Mitala Street in 2003, spending $3.21 million on a five bedroom home with a pool. A year later he added bought the house behind it for $835,000, taking his total on the street to over 1,900 square metres.
His house sits next door to the the project.
The most noteworthy of new homes on Pittwater include model Jennifer Hawkins and Jake Wall's home that cost them $2 million plus to build, following their $4 million outlay.
The contemporary home not sits on its 3,260 square metres with landscaping by Secret Gardens.
It has four storeys, five bedrooms, a swimming pool and a sunken lounge on a lower level which is virtually on the foreshore.
There's also a home office, a home theatre and a gym.
Just around the corner in Avalon, the waterfront has seen a number of substantial home builds in recent years.
Dick Smith's founder Richard Smith quietly spent $4.85 million on a home on the Riverview Road dress circle in 2014 and commissioned a new home.
Down the road Hurcum designed an ultra-modern waterfront with aeroplane like wings that jutt out of the home.
Also known as Dakota House, the home sits in gardens designed by Jamie Durie which feature its own amphitheater-like space.
Last year a home designed by Hurcum in Narrabeen, dubbed Narrabeen House, sold for a suburb record $7.55 million, breaking the previous record by more than $2 million.
