Perth’s new apartment market recorded its strongest quarter of sales since Q4 2021, with 412 apartments sold in Q1 2026 and a record quarterly sold value of $537 million, according to Urbis’ latest Apartment Essentials results.

Urbis said the March quarter result reflects strong, highly product‑specific demand across both ends of the market, from more attainable projects delivering at scale, through to premium stock being absorbed by equity‑rich downsizers.&nbsp;

David Cresp, Partner at Urbis, said the key story in Perth is not demand, it is the market’s ability to convert demand into delivered housing.&nbsp;

“This is the strongest sales quarter since Q4 2021, and it reinforces that demand in Perth is real and it’s local,” David Cresp said. “But the task now is delivery, turning that demand into projects that can actually be built and completed.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=302785]

<h2>Affordable product leads, premium demand remains resilient</h2>

Sales in Q1 were led by more affordable projects, with The Boulevard (SKS Group) recording 115 sales in the quarter, the presentation noting this is only the second time a single project has surpassed 100 quarterly sales. The project was able to offer more affordable housing product right next to a train station.&nbsp;

Palmyra West (Finbar) also delivered strong results with 28 sales in Q1, following 84 sales in Q4, with an average price of under $800,000, underscoring depth of demand for well‑located, attainable new stock.&nbsp;

At the premium end, Urbis said downsizer demand is continuing, with the results highlighting Romeo (Applecross, Finbar) recording 75 sales and reaching almost 50% sold in one quarter.

Jual (Shenton Park, Celsius Property) also posted a strong quarter with 28 sales, reaching 39% sold in one quarter.

Urbis noted that Perth apartment demand is not speculative, not investor‑led, and not uniform, describing it as localised, often equity‑driven and highly product‑specific, a pattern reflected in the polarisation between strong “attainable” performers and premium downsizer product.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148957 project_image_fid=364102]

<h2>Prices underpinned by costs, and the delivery risk is growing</h2>

Urbis said pricing pressure is cost not demand‑driven: construction costs and delivery risk are now a central constraint, with the results noting build costs remain elevated and volatile, and that energy, fuel and labour uncertainty weigh on feasibility.

David Cresp said a growing challenge for private Build‑to‑Sell developers is simply securing a builder in the current environment.

“Developers are really feeling the pressure from a building market that was operating at capacity and securing a builder is challenging,” David Cresp said, adding that even where a builder can be secured, “trying to get to the price that makes the development financially viable is incredibly challenging in the current market.”&nbsp;

Urbis’ broader WA commentary also notes that industry remains at or above capacity with lot and housing creation, and that many builders are limiting new sales to manage stretched workforces and fixed‑price contract pressures, conditions that flow directly into apartment feasibility and delivery timing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108869 project_image_fid=317905]

<h2>Supply: improving later, but still constrained, and Perth lags eastern benchmarks</h2>

While near‑term supply remains constrained, Urbis’ forecast shows completions lifting “Supply is forecast to be back above 1,500 apartments per annum for the first time since 2019”, with 1,775 completions forecast for 2026, and volumes remaining above that level over the following years.&nbsp;

Looking further ahead, completions are forecast to reach 2,500 in 2028, with the report noting 32% of that total is social/affordable, reflecting the role of government‑supported delivery in rebuilding the pipeline.&nbsp;

However, Urbis said Perth remains behind comparable markets on pipeline scale. In a national comparison of projects under construction, the report shows under construction Perth Build‑to‑Sell (BTS) at 3,446 apartments versus the Gold Coast at 7,922. Mr Cresp said “The challenge for Perth is how to we grow the delivery pipeline”.

Urbis’ conclusion is that Perth’s market is increasingly defined by product discipline and delivery certainty, with the research identifying “delivery certainty is key” and calling out builder risk and procurement models as core success factors, alongside “timing and staging”.&nbsp;

Perth apartment sales hit strongest pace since late 2021 as builder capacity tightens

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sammut-developments">Sammut Group</a> has secured development approval for its latest Brisbane apartment project, marking the Sydney developer’s next step in expanding its Queensland pipeline following the success of its debut Gold Coast development, Coast.

The approved project at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/44-glen-road-toowong-qld-4066">44 Glen Road, </a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a> will deliver a 15-storey riverfront apartment building with 42 residences, significantly increasing the scale of the site’s previous approval for a smaller luxury scheme. Designed by Bureau^proberts, the development will comprise a mix of predominantly four-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments positioned to maximise Brisbane River and city views.

Sammut Director Julian Sammut said the group had been actively searching Brisbane for several years before identifying Toowong as the right fit.

“Brisbane was the right step for Sammut,” Sammut said.

“With the success of Coast we thought we should definitely look to do more in Queensland alone. We then pushed up to look at Brisbane. We've been looking for I'd say two to three years actually and it was hard to find the right location.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.14%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dYAVIL7qdcGA8ojvkslSrLjczXFejSSx" />

Sammut said suburbs including New Farm and Teneriffe were considered before the group ultimately focused on Toowong due to its strong downsizer demographic and limited supply of developable riverfront land.

The site was acquired off-market after what Sammut described as a lengthy negotiation and planning process, with the developer pursuing an uplift to the original approval.

“We are DA approved now which is very exciting,” Sammut said.

“We've had our change approval come through and we've obviously doubled the height, 15 storeys plus rooftop. We've got 42 amazing apartments that are going to be coming to market soon.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ohkRkY0dIZlqdfME2EZePsCQavRiBadE" />

Bureau^proberts said the design responds to Toowong’s evolving urban character, balancing contemporary apartment living with the area’s established residential identity.

“A place where traditional Queensland living has taken place for centuries; Toowong is seeing a shift of contemporary influence, commercial and retail hubs mixed with well-considered residential offerings – all the while maintaining its character and charm,” the architect noted in planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council.

The architecture practice said the project’s form was shaped by its riverfront setting, flood considerations, neighbouring building scales, and view corridors.

“They said the mix of four and two-bedroom apartments capture the ‘fundamental qualities of Queenslander living,’ translated into the context of a contemporary subtropical building.”

The development sits just off Coronation Drive within walking distance of Toowong’s retail precinct and the upgraded Regatta ferry terminal, while also benefiting from proximity to the incoming green bridge connection to West End. Sammut said the accessibility and amenity offering were central to the site’s appeal.

The approval adds to growing residential activity along the Toowong riverfront, joining nearby projects including Consolidated Properties’ Monarch Residences and Spyre Group’s ARC Residences.

Sammut secures approval for debut Brisbane apartment development in Toowong

Developer Lanevick is heading back into Sydney’s apartment market after focusing more heavily on the luxury townhouse and terrace sector in recent years.

Lanevick, founded and directed by Steve Maroun, is expecting to receive approval in the coming months for a new apartment development in Gladesville, with the aim to launch it to the market later this year.

The 51-apartment project, designed by Studio Johnston, will comprise a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments positioned toward the Hunters Hill downsizer market.

“Traditionally it’s been difficult for people in that market to downsize because there just hasn’t been the right product available,” Maroun said.

“We’re targeting buyers who might have 30 to 40 per cent of their house value sitting in the bank after downsizing.

“They still want good spacious entertaining areas, they still want quality design, but they also want flexibility and the ability to enjoy life a bit more after working hard for a long time.”

The project sits near Boronia Park and within close proximity to the Parramatta River foreshore, an area Maroun says offers more of a Hunters Hill lifestyle than a traditional apartment precinct.

“From a lifestyle perspective, it’s really more Hunters Hill than Gladesville,” Maroun said. “You’re close to the foreshore, close to parklands, and still connected back into the village precinct.”

From level four and above, apartments will capture water views&nbsp;toward Sydney Harbour. Communal amenity will include rooftop entertaining areas, wellness spaces, and a gym tailored toward owner-occupier buyers.

“We’ve really designed these apartments around that buyer coming from the Hunters Hill LGA and what they’re actually looking for in their next chapter.”

The proposed development has also been designed to respond to the changing character of the broader Gladesville town centre, where a growing number of mixed-use and residential proposals are expected to emerge over the coming years.

“Gladesville presented a rare opportunity to deliver a genuinely design-led residential project within an evolving lifestyle precinct, just moments from the growing Gladesville town centre, and we’ve approached the project with a strong focus on architecture, liveability and long-term community value,” Maroun said.

Maroun said Lanevick saw a first-mover advantage within the precinct as planning controls continue to evolve to accommodate greater housing density.

“We think there’s a real opportunity there that hasn’t really been serviced properly yet,” he said.

“There’s going to be a broader evolution of the whole Gladesville village precinct over time, particularly with more activation and mixed-use outcomes.”

The Venus Street proposal will include a commercial and retail component at ground level designed to contribute to that evolving streetscape activation.

“A big part of the thinking was how do you activate that area properly and create more vibrancy and amenity, which is what Hunters Hill has been looking for,” Maroun said.

Lanevick’s focus since 2020 has largely been on smaller-scale luxury townhouse and terrace developments. The developer recently completed Royale Randwick, also designed by Studio Johnston, where prices reached $3.65 million. The project was featured in the UDIA NSW 2026 Professional Development Prospectus and was also named a finalist for Development of the Year.

Lanevick to cater for Hunters Hill downsizers with new Gladesville apartment development

Property developer One Living, backed by former Macquarie banker turned investment manager Chris Green’s investment firm, has unveiled plans to bring more institutional capital into housing to help address the national supply crisis.

The New York-based investor has focused his firm, GreenPoint Partners, on addressing the supply shortage hitting middle market housing in Australia.

It is backing the new One Living business to develop more than 1000 units along the eastern seaboard. The new firm is starting with a development on Mona Vale Road, on the border of Mona Vale and Pymble, in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, with around 140 apartments planned. They are eyeing off more sites across the city.

With cost pressures rising in the industry, One Living’s model is to be a vertically integrated developer-builder, so it can respond directly to the housing gap by removing the cost inefficiencies embedded in traditional residential delivery.

“We are building a platform designed to operate at scale and starting in a market where there’s a clear need for quality, attainable housing,” One Living joint managing director Joseph Scuderi said.

“It’s that missing middle – it’s that attainable end of housing… that’s what most Australians invest into and what Australians can actually afford.”

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="798dfa93-4941-4db6-a696-31e9dc18e81c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.31.50%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=mKBqi5C_DmeiXS.AtJkcR8LQIxqCqmFi" />

GreenPoint Partners brings years of experience assembling and scaling real estate operating businesses across major markets. And Green sees a big opportunity in Australia.

“For its size, sophistication and importance to the community, Australia’s living sector has remained largely under-institutionalised, which represents significant opportunity,” Green said. “GreenPoint identified that gap, assembled the right team, and is backing One Living to build a platform that is aligned to market needs.”

Green said being a builder-developer would give the company the capacity and flexibility it required to deliver reasonably-priced homes.

“We want it to be at that attainable level; not super high end luxury but at that attainable level,” he said.

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="74a5344a-4b26-4d4a-ada3-056b1220be77" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.32.15%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=vY8hXHO4reBMdO8ZXMWCNtGZJofUPQ3j" />

&nbsp;

One Living will undertake a component of affordable housing in its schemes, which it will own and operate, and it could also run build-to-rent on some sites.

Green praised local policy settings.

“The NSW government is being very supportive, strategic and pragmatic in terms of how do we generate more supply of housing,” he said. “We think it’s actually positive for development and the bit that’s been lacking at that attainable level is that it’s lots of relatively small private developers, whereas we want to create an institutional platform.”

One Living is also&nbsp;looking at high-density projects and could take on more institutional funding in the future.

“The way we will be able to achieve economies of scale is through size,” Green added.

One Living enters Sydney's new apartment market with Northern Beaches site acquisition

It's been several years since there's been an opportunity to buy a brand new townhome in Melbourne's coastal suburb of Mordialloc. Even apartment developments in recent times have been few and far between in the area.

Local developer LDS Property identified the gap in new housing, securing a site on White Street, directly opposite&nbsp;Woodlands Golf Club Mordialloc. They've recently launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/wm-residences-mordialloc-102-white-street-mordialloc-vic-3195">WM Residences</a>, just 13 townhouses which they have already started building.

Projects by Buxton Director Heath Thompson, who is selling WM Residences, says the townhouses x that perfect middle ground be

"Mordialloc residents have had limited options to downsize within the suburb, often forcing them to look elsewhere despite long-standing ties to the area," Thompson says.

"With very little comparable new supply coming to market, projects like WM Residences are well placed, particularly as buyers look to capitalise on current conditions amid constrained supply."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6109]

The development, designed by regarded architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ewert-leaf">Ewert Leaf</a>,&nbsp;adopts a deliberately restrained architectural approach, focusing on simplicity, durability and liveability rather than overt design gestures.

The boutique scale is central to the offering. With only 13 three-bedroom residences, each home is configured to prioritise functional layouts and everyday use, supported by private terraces and secure two-car garages.

Ewert Leaf’s design response leans into a calm, neutral material palette. Interiors are defined by oak flooring, white walls and soft finishes, creating a consistent and understated backdrop. The approach avoids trend-driven detailing in favour of longevity, with an emphasis on natural light and spatial clarity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6110]

Beyond aesthetics, the homes are designed to meet contemporary performance expectations. Each residence targets a minimum 6-star energy rating, incorporating double glazing, comprehensive insulation and all-electric Bosch appliances.

The project’s location supports a walkable coastal lifestyle, sitting within close proximity to Mordialloc’s foreshore, Main Street retail strip and the train station. Local cafés and dining venues, including Suburbia Deli and Hendriks Café, are within a short walk, reinforcing the area’s established neighbourhood character.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6116]

While <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/mordialloc-vic-3195">Mordialloc</a> is often defined by its beach and pier, the project taps into other areas of day to day living, offering easy access to local food, casual dining and transport, rather than positioning itself purely as a lifestyle retreat.

WM Residences reflects a continued trend across Melbourne’s coastal suburbs towards smaller-scale, design-led townhouse developments, particularly on infill sites where proximity to amenity is already established.

With construction commenced prior to its market entry, the project aligns with a growing preference among buyers for developments with visible progress and defined delivery timeframes.

"The project went really, really well we had great backing from our marketing team and obviously from REA and we received an enormous amount of enquiry and we were very fortunate on the day of the launch as we had a 150 people lined up in the street in Paddington and that was pretty incredible.
"It was just amazing and we lucky we sold 19 units in 19 minutes - about $26 million worth - so it was a real achievement.
"It was a fantastic night down at Melbourne and afterward it was quite incredible.
"I rang all the team and made them aware of it and as you know Gavin Rubenstein won on that night so we were pretty chuffed to win two awards.
"We were the only business that nominated and won two awards so it was a really fantastic evening.
"We’ve obviously got the trophy sitting in a private place at the front of our office when you walk in so you know its fantastic to be able to won that award.
"We put in all our submissions you know REA are a very big company its fantastic to be awarded something amongst our peers that everyone thinks is worthwhile its been great."

Entrepreneur Sean Satha, founder of sunglasses company Local Supply, has sold his contemporary Paddington terrace for $3.135 million.
The architecturally designed three level home at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-paddington-124953282" target="_blank">66 Sutherland Street</a> overlooks Trumper Park and has four bedrooms and two bathrooms 
Satha paid $1.83 million in 2014 for the home.
Before Local Supply, Sean had been an engineer and investment banker.
The idea for the sunglasses, designed to be worn to any event, came when Sean broke a pair of his sunglasses at a Sunday session at his local pub. The sunglasses had cost Sean a week's rent.
Model Kate Peck who broke the glasses went on to become a brand ambassador for Local Supply.
It was passed in at recent auction.

Billionaire Greg Goodman's thinning of his Woollahra property portfolio has spilled over to Paddington, where whispers are he has offloaded a three level Underwood Street investment.
The home that has been reinvented by Luigi Rosselli cost Goodman, who heads up the property powerhouse Goodman Group, $4.2 million in 2014 through Will Manning. 
It last leased at a pricey $3,500 a week in 2015.
The Victorian home has four bedrooms and extensive outdoor entertainment areas that feature a heated swimming pool, outdoor kitchen and built-in barbecue.
Whispers are buying interest has been around the $6 million to $6.2 million region.

Billionaire Greg Goodman offloads in Paddington

Recent Paddington prices suggest the suburb is popular again with buyers, albeit with limited opportunities. 
Darlinghurst and Surry Hills had narrowed the gap, but now Paddo has hit its stride. 
James Harron, the managing director of James Harron Bloodstock, and wife Alison are recent Paddington buyers <a href="https://www.bresicwhitney.com.au/buy/47-glenview-street-paddington-14564" target="_blank">having spent $4.75 million</a>.
The purchase will be small change should the young Irishman have the winner of the $10 million The Everest, the world's richest turf race at Randwick this October.
Their four bedroom home was snapped up within a fortnight of its listing through BresicWhitney agent Brad Hillier.
It had been a quick flip renovation as the home traded at $3.31 million in 2015.
The large two storey terrace with double frontage features polished timber floors, high ceilings and decorative period detail.
Set on 300 sqm, it has an atrium-style connection with gardens and a private entertaining space.
Harron first came to Australia in 2004 to do a three month yearling sales preparation for Coolmore Stud, the Irish headquarters of the world's largest breeding operation of thoroughbred racehorses.
He returned to Australia in 2011 to set up his own business. 
Harron had quick success with the now retired Capitalist, then Vancouver.
James Harron Bloodstock was successful in purchasing two colts and three fillies at the mid-week Inglis Sydney Easter Yearling Sale.
Meanwhile billionaire Greg Goodman's thinning of his Woollahra property portfolio has spilled over to Paddington, where whispers are he has offloaded a three level Underwood Street investment.
The home that had been reinvented by Luigi Rosselli cost Goodman $4.2 million in 2014 through estate agent Will Manning. 
Leased at $3,500 a week in 2015, the Victorian four bedroom terrace is tipped to have attracted buying interest around the $6 million to $6.2 million region.
The buyer is likely to emerge as Nudie Jeans co-founder Bryce Alton and his wife Rebecca.
According to RP Data, the median sale price is now $2.1 million compared to $1.3 million in 2012 and $1.6 million in 2014. The number of homes sold per year decreased during 2016 to 200, down from the more typical 300 per year.

Fashion designer Collette Dinnigan and her tourism industry entrepreneur husband Bradley Cocks have reportedly bought back in Paddington, buying from her brother, the creative director Seamus Dinnigan.
His Georgian-era cottage had $1.7 million hopes.
Dinnigan and Cocks had been looking for a city base after selling at Watsons Bay and snapping up Springfield Farm, a European-style abode at Avoca in the Southern Highlands.
The cute 1850s Georgian Paddington home of creative director Seamus Dinnigan sold before its recent auction.
There's just 70 square metres space throughout the rare freestanding terrace which came with a $1.6 million to $1.8 million price guide through Will Manning at McGrath. 
It was marketed as a Cotswolds cottage style residence, just off Glenmore Road near Oxford Street.
Dinnigan, the brother of designer, Collette Dinnigan bought the Mary Place home in 2015 for $1.08 million from gallery owner Evan Hughes and his lawyer wife, Kate.
Dinnigan is creative director at Collette Dinnigan's office, as well as helping out on the design styling of his sister's many homes.
He also co-produced her first coffee table book, Obsessive Creative.

The cute 1850s Georgian Paddington home of creative director Seamus Dinnigan was sold in the countdown to its recent auction.
There's just 70 square metres space throughout the rare freestanding terrace which came with a $1.6 million to $1.8 million price guide through Will Manning at McGrath. 
It was marketed as a Cotswolds cottage style residence, just off Glenmore Road near Oxford Street.
Dinnigan, the brother of designer, Collette Dinnigan bought the Mary Place home in 2015 for $1.08 million from gallery owner Evan Hughes and his lawyer wife, Kate.
Dinnigan is creative director at Collette Dinnigan's office, as well as helping out on the design styling of his sister's many homes.
He also co-produced her first coffee table book, Obsessive Creative.
Paddington's median house price for two bedders sits at $1.6 million, according to CoreLogic.
The 1850s terrace dates to around the time the homes were built to accomodate those who worked at the nearby Victoria Barracks. It was before Paddington developed as a working-class area during the Victorian era when between 1860 and 1890, about 3800 terrace houses were built to give Paddington its charming, unique character.
Of course it went into decline after World War I, fell into a slum during the 1930s and pretty much remained that way until the bohemia push descended during the 1960s and turned renovating terraces into almost an art form.

Juicy Design director Tom Williams and wife Belinda have sold in Paddington for a stellar $7.1 million.
Steve Koolloos of MCK Architects designed the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-paddington-124774122" target="_blank">five bedroom home on Paddington Street</a>, after leaving only the facade and one side wall from its days as an ordinary Victorian terrace.
It's a big result for the Williams clan who paid $2.8 million in 2013.
Ben Collier at The Agency sold the home before auction after having an ambitious guide of $6.5 million.

Juicy Design director Tom Williams sells in Paddington

NRL Titans star and new father Jarryd Hayne is moving on with his life on the Gold Coast.
He has just sold his redundant Paddington terrace back in Sydney. 
The proceeds could readily buy a more family friendly home to replace his family's Surfers Paradise apartment.
The sale price for his renovated pink Paddington terrace remains undisclosed.
It initially came with $3.25 million hopes when the striking pink door showed up on listing websites, however the price was reduced to $2,975,000 by Our Estates selling agent Adam Regan.
Hayne, who became a dad for the first time in December, paid $1,315,000 for the terrace in 2013 when it had only two bedrooms and one bathroom.
He commissioned architect Dickson Rothschild to turn it into a contemporary three bedder with three bathrooms and an attic installation.
The home is now unmissable from the street, with a bright pink door contrasting the dark grey facade.
There's a pink theme throughout the home too. The feature wall in the lounge and the bbq cupboard in the kitchen have clearly been styled by a designer.
The sale leaves the Gold Coast Titan's star with just two properties left in Sydney, another one in Paddington and the other in Darlinghurst, both of which are currently leased.
He's making a tidy profit on his Darlinghurst investment property, finding a tenant for $1,450 a week, $300 a week more than it was before its recent renovation.
Hayne had lived in St Peters before selling the family home for $995,000 to fund his NFL dream.
It was a strong profit on the home that cost him $527,500 in 2007, way back when he was a 19-year old rookie at the Eels.
Hayne, who played 176 games for Parramatta before heading overseas, grew up between Minto and Airds near Campbelltown where he lived in a housing commission residence and was raised by mother Jodie and grandmother Robin while his father chased a career overseas.
There is no news of Hayne buying a property in Queensland yet, with the fullback headlining the Gold Coast Titans Auckland Nine squad this weekend.
Hayne and Amelia Bonnici are yet to publicly name their daughter who was born in mid December, however Hayne posted a picture to Instagram of his daughter asleep on his chest.
"All praise to god above, for he never makes mistakes!!!! <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/daddysgirl/" target="_blank" data-log-event="tagvisit" data-ios-link="tag?name=daddysgirl">#daddysgirl</a>" accompanied the picture.
Before making the news public, Hayne was asked by the Telegraph if his new born child would wear an Eels jumper, San Francisco or Titans, Hayne replied by suggesting it would be Titans.
“I don’t know,” he said laughingly.
“(It) obviously depends where I’m at. A Titans one, at the moment.”
