Challenging the trend of compact living, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/the-eighth-south-melbourne-22-kings-place-south-melbourne-vic-3205">The Eighth</a> delivers true house-like scale in a vertical format.

Positioned on the penultimate level of The Eighth, a newly completed development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/crema-group">Projects by Crema</a>, the sub-penthouse offers more than just generous dimensions, it redefines what sub-penthouse living can look like in Melbourne’s Domain Precinct.

At 256 sqm, this residence exceeds the scale of most new apartments on the market. It provides the proportions of a freestanding home - three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study, walk-in laundry, and a separate retreat - all within the security and convenience of a high-end vertical community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5345 project_image_fid=354144]

Its elevated corner position allows for uninterrupted, 270-degree views across the city skyline, Albert Park and the Botanic Garden, an outlook increasingly difficult to replicate in denser urban pockets. Full-height glazing frames these views throughout the home, anchoring each room to its setting.

Designed by Miriam Fanning of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/mim-design">Mim Design</a>, the interiors prioritise durability and spatial clarity. Stone benchtops, cove lighting, custom joinery and a fireplace enrich the central living areas.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5345 project_image_fid=354159]

A Gaggenau kitchen with integrated Liebherr refrigeration and a full butler’s pantry supports serious home cooking and entertaining, while a wine cellar and media room add versatility.

Each bedroom features a tiled ensuite and bespoke robes, with the main suite offering privacy and corner views. Private lift access, ducted air conditioning, three side-by-side car parks and ample storage round out the functional offering.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5345 project_image_fid=354160]

Residents of The Eighth benefit from a cohesive lifestyle ecosystem. A rooftop pool and BBQ terrace, wellness facilities at EQ, and an Italian café downstairs all contribute to a vertically integrated community - balancing amenity with calm, day-to-day usability.

Located just off St Kilda Road and moments from ANZAC Station and The Tan, The Eighth provides immediate access to transport, green space and cultural institutions, while remaining quietly removed from the city’s pace.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5345 project_image_fid=354141]

Importantly, the building is complete. With just 36 apartments across 18 levels, The Eighth offers long-term privacy, minimal turnover, and immediate move-in certainty.&nbsp;

The sub-penthouse stands as one of the final, and most compelling, opportunities within this now-established address.

Taylor Dow of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/dow-real-estate">DOW Real Estate</a> is the exclusive selling agent for the sub-penthouse, and the remaining few apartments in The Eighth.

A rare South Melbourne sub-penthouse with room to move

Just weeks after launching to their latest new Melbourne apartment development to the market, national apartment developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a>&nbsp;has secured the sale of its sub-penthouse.

A local downsizer has spent $6.25 million on a sub-penthouse in The Parker, just 24 apartments on the the doorstep of Caulfield Park. The sale equated to $23,000 per sqm.

The buyer was drawn to the&nbsp;park-fronted lifestyle and panoramic city and bay views.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145454 project_image_fid=352395]

“The first sale at $6.25 million completely vindicated our decision to acquire the site and reimagine it for owner-occupiers,” said Andrew Leoncelli, Managing Director of Abadeen.

“We took what was originally conceived as a smaller apartment product and transformed it into something exceptional — larger homes of enduring quality and understated luxury.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145454 project_image_fid=352397]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-parker-on-caulfield-park-219-balaclava-road-caulfield-north-vic-3161">The Parker</a>&nbsp;has been designed by&nbsp;award-winning architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/powell-glenn">Powell &amp; Glenn</a> and will be enveloped in landscaping by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/acre">Acre</a>. It was the position within the context to the park that drove the design of the building, with 70 per cent of the apartments overlook the 28-hectare space complete with&nbsp;walking trails, ovals, and playgrounds.

“Caulfield Park isn’t a typical recreational space, it has a generosity and nuance in its layering of trees and light,” said Ed Glenn, Principal at Powell &amp; Glenn.

“Our aim was to create a building that feels grounded and connected, with spaces that open to the park and unfold with light. The architecture provides a sense of refuge and prospect, balancing intimate privacy with expansive views."

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145454 project_image_fid=352400]

The architecture is defined by sculptural columns that flare like tree trunks, cascading greenery by Acre that softens the façade, and interior spaces by Powell &amp; Glenn’s Clementine Jacobs that use stone, timber, and brass finishes designed to age beautifully over time.

“The Parker is about connection where the building meets the park, people meet nature, and elevated design meets everyday life,” said Brett Robinson, Creative Director of Acre.

“We’ve created lush, year-round gardens that drape the building, softening its form and bringing the outdoors in. Every balcony and outdoor space is treated as an intimate ‘room’ framed by planting, texture, and movement. Sustainability is about timelessness; using robust, natural materials and drought-tolerant plantings that endure.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145454 project_image_fid=353657]

The Parker is Abadeen's second Melbourne apartment development, following the successful Malea, on Central Park in Malvern, which recently completed its construction.

“The Parker offers something truly unique; design elegance, community connection, and green space at your door,” Leoncelli added.

“It’s the kind of place you dream about, then realise you can actually live in.”

Abadeen launches The Parker in Caulfield North, secures $6.25 million sub-penthouse sale

It’s been 15 long years since the former Balmain Leagues Club was open to the public. The large 7,330 sqm Victoria Road site had grown progressively more derelict since the doors to the former club shut back in 2010.

Earlier this year, the vertically integrated developer PERIFA, part of the Versatile Group of companies, stepped in and acquired the site, quickly getting to work on construction through its building business Versatile Construction.

PERIFA teamed up with financier Mitsubishi Estate Asia to create <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/rozelle-village-rozelle-152-victoria-road-rozelle-nsw-2039">Rozelle Village</a>, a new community heart of the charming inner west suburb. The mixed-use precinct will not only be home to around 150 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, but also feature a fully activated ground plane with extensive hospitality venues and retail spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8142 project_image_fid=338]

A new club will replace the old Balmain Leagues Club. The public plaza will include a range of new food and hospitality venues, a community art studio, and a retail precinct anchored by a full-line supermarket, a first for the peninsula.

The apartments will be spread across three interconnected buildings designed by Studio SC, with interiors by SJB.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8142 project_image_fid=335]

Buyers weren’t prepared to wait any longer to purchase. When it was time to start selling the development, PERIFA and SRM Residential had buyers queuing out of the display suite door. They secured over 40 sales on launch, including several high-end three-bedroom apartments with sales reaching up to $6.9 million.

Demand has been driven largely by local owner-occupiers who have had <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/rozelle-nsw-2039">Rozelle</a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/rozelle-village-rozelle-152-victoria-road-rozelle-nsw-2039"> Village</a> on their radar for some time, many of them already living in apartments and looking to upgrade without giving up lifestyle, walkability, or views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8142 project_image_fid=325]

Perilli, Co-Founder and Managing Director of PERIFA and Versatile Group, said the community has had to put up with a derelict site on their doorstep for too long.

“The Balmain Leagues Club in Rozelle, which closed in 2010 to make way for the NSW Government Metro Transport Project, was once a hub for local families to come together and enjoy entertainment and hospitality. We’re delighted to embark on a new era for the site, together with our partners Mitsubishi Estate Asia,"&nbsp;Perilli said.

"Our shared vision for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/rozelle-village-rozelle-152-victoria-road-rozelle-nsw-2039">Rozelle Village</a> is to create a mixed-use precinct that is thoughtfully designed and caters to new residents and the community alike. It will be a major meeting place for the community that embraces the unique character of the Balmain/Rozelle peninsula, while helping to shape its next chapter.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8142 project_image_fid=326]

The residential offering will cater to downsizers, families, and local owner-occupiers, with an emphasis on larger floorplans, high-quality finishes, and expansive views across Iron Cove, Sydney Harbour, and the Parramatta River.

Residents will have private access to a rooftop pool, taking in the views, a rooftop yoga lawn, and podium level gardens.

From leagues club to lifestyle precint: Inside Rozelle Village 

Roberts Co has entered a new phase of growth following its acquisition by Arada, one of the world’s fastest-growing property developers in Australia.

The acquisition is supported by a $50 million capital injection into Roberts Co’s Australian balance sheet, consisting of the previously announced $25 million recapitalisation and an additional $25 million in new funding from Arada.

This investment strengthens Roberts Co’s financial position, stabilises operations, and provides the foundation for strategic expansion beyond its New South Wales base, with a focus on new opportunities in Queensland, including the Brisbane and Gold Coast regions.

With Arada’s international resources and financial backing, Roberts Co will broaden its portfolio across residential, commercial, and infrastructure sectors, reinforcing its strong market position in New South Wales and setting itself to capture growth in one of Australia’s most dynamic construction markets.

Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO of Arada, said Roberts Co has a proud Australian heritage, an outstanding delivery record, and a strong reputation for collaboration with clients and partners.

"By combining this expertise with Arada’s global scale and financial capacity, we are creating a platform for sustained growth in the Australian market,"&nbsp;Alkhoshaibi said.

“Our $50 million capital injection, including new funds from Arada, underlines our commitment to both stabilise and expand Roberts Co’s operations, particularly into the fast-growing Queensland market. We see significant potential in South-East Queensland’s pipeline and are confident Roberts Co is well placed to deliver lasting value for clients and communities.”

George Kostas, CEO of Roberts Co, said Queensland, and particularly South-East Queensland, is one of the most active and opportunity-rich regions in Australia right now.

"The lead-up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games will bring unprecedented investment across housing, transport, and infrastructure. Roberts Co is eager to play a major role in that transformation and secure a meaningful share of this fast-growing market.”

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hurstville-nsw-2220">Hurstville</a> has quietly become one of Sydney’s most resilient property markets. Supported by strong transport links, infrastructure investment and a growing multicultural community, the St George hub continues to outperform much of the metropolitan market for both capital and rental returns.

According to Positus Property Investment, Hurstville now ranks among Sydney’s top performers for yield consistency, underpinned by population growth of nearly five per cent since 2021 and persistently low vacancy rates.&nbsp;

Limited new supply is tightening the market further - new dwelling approvals have fallen from close to 600 to under 200 in FY25, a structural shortfall that’s placing upward pressure on rents and resale values.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149850 project_image_fid=278]

As one of the final residential stages in the Kempt Field precinct anchored by Woolworths, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/the-one-collection">The One Collection</a>'s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/horizon-hurstville-6-jack-brabham-drive-hurstville-nsw-2220">Horizon</a> represents a rare opportunity to buy into a location experiencing both infrastructure-led growth and constrained supply&nbsp;- now made even more compelling with a limited-time five per cent deposit and matching rebate incentive.

Positus notes that the suburb’s combination of “relative affordability, low vacancy, and rising population” is creating a recipe for continued rental growth and capital appreciation. Weekly rents are increasing faster than strata and outgoings, with two-bedroom apartments seeing the deepest tenant demand - supporting healthy yield margins even after costs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149850 project_image_fid=281]

Horizon prices begin from $668,000, with one, two, and three-bedroom apartments offering flexible entry points for investors.&nbsp;

The project’s location, a short walk to Hurstville Station, Westfield, and an upcoming dining laneway, St Clair Lane, underscores its liquidity and day-to-day convenience.&nbsp;

A 19-minute express train connects residents to the Sydney CBD, while arterial upgrades such as the M6 and WestConnex further enhance connectivity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149850 project_image_fid=275]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/dko-architecture">DKO Architecture</a>, Horizon’s soft, organic façade mirrors the parkland of Kempt Field, while interiors prioritise light, durability, and smart functionality.&nbsp;

Each home features Smeg appliances, smart home automation, and generous balconies overlooking the bay and skyline.&nbsp;

Amenities include a gym, sauna, games room, meditation deck, and landscaped courtyards, with wellness and social spaces designed to foster community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149850 project_image_fid=279]

From an investment perspective, Horizon offers what Positus describes as a “value and income sweet spot.” At an average entry price around $745,000 and yields near five per cent, Hurstville units remain roughly $200,000 below comparable inner-west suburbs, allowing investors to capture metro proximity without inner-city risk exposure.

Horizon will deliver 179 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments above St Clair Lane.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/masscon">Masscon</a> is on site moving its way up the building, which is scheduled for completion in late 2026, with move-in expected shortly after.

CBRE has sold 33,000ha of premium rural land fronting the Murrumbidgee River in NSW’s Southern Riverina region in an off-market transaction for the family of businessman Tim Roberts-Thomson.
The two NSW Southern Riverina stations sold in an off-market deal reportedly worth $60 million. 
Juanbung and Boyong stations span 33,000ha of grazing land, which has been used for backgrounding up to 10,000 cattle a year, and has 55km frontage to the Murrumbidgee River. 
It is also home to one of the largest privately owned River Red Gum forests in the world, and accommodates firewood business Juanbung Mill. 
Juanbung and Boyong stations also benefit from a 13,506ML supplementary water entitlement and incorporate the floodplain delta of the Lachlan River, referred to as Great Cumbung Swamp. 
The properties were reportedly bought by a local group. 
CBRE’s Danny Thomas and Aither’s Chris Olszak sold the properties via a walk-in-walk-out basis on behalf of Roberts-Thompson’s TRT Pastoral Group.
Roberts-Thompson advised the sale would allow TRT Pastoral to focus on building its King Island beef business, as well as its other mainland beef breeding operations.
It also owns an aggregation of five properties in North East Victoria, Howquadale Station, 
Boasting 55km frontage to the Murrumbidgee River, Juanbung and Boyong Stations have traditionally been used for backgrounding large numbers of cattle for nearby feedlots (up to 10,000 head per annum).

Yarunga Station and Fontainebleau, a large scale mixed cropping and grazing operation situated in the Southern Riverina Region of New South Wales is now for sale.
CBRE Agribusiness agents Duncan McCulloch, James Beer and Danny Thomas have been appointed to handle the sale of Yarunga Station (844 ha) and Fontainebleau (931 ha) which operate as a single enterprise.
They comprise approximately 1,710 ha of arable land (96%), including 60 ha of laser leveled flood irrigation and 1,650 ha of dryland cropping and grazing.
“Yarunga Station and Fontainebleau are outstanding properties, well developed for both broad hectare and grazing enterprises given their high arable percentage and excellent livestock handling infrastructure,” Mr McCulloch said.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/11/19/Fountain%202.jpg" alt="">
The aggregation is available for sale as a single holding or as two individual properties. 
Yarunga Station and Fontainebleau feature numerous structural improvements, including two dwellings and extensive rural infrastructure such as grain shedding, bunkers, silo storage, multiple hay sheds, storage sheds, workshop, cattle yards, shearing shed and yards.
In addition, Yarunga Station features a 16-pen feed pad, which is utilised as part of a heifer rearing enterprise.
Yarunga Station and Fontainebleau are being offered for sale via expressions of interest and are expected to receive strong interest from both local farmers and corporate investors, according to the agents.

Bruce Gunning of Ray White Rural International, says Ballandry Station Farming Aggregation at Griffith, represents what could be one of the last “big ticket” buying opportunities for Riverina broadacre cropland.
With most of the large holdings now in either corporate or other institutional ownership, investors will have few chances in the future to secure agricultural holdings on the scale of Ballandry, he told The Land's Peter Austin.
Ballandry is a total land package of 27,735 hectares (68,535ac), comprising a cropping of 19,436ha and an irrigation development block of 8298ha.
Offers are due July 31, either as a whole or in two portions, along with 45,455 Murrumbidgee Irrigation delivery entitlements.
Set 24 kilometres north of Griffith, it has been listed by David Bartter, who is winding up his agricultural interests.
Bartter and his brother, Peter, previously owned and operated the huge Bartter Enterprises poultry business at Griffith, before selling that in 2009 to Baiada Poultry.
The property has been built up by the Bartter family over a period of 35 years.
It incorporates 17 individual properties, the largest being Ballandry Station of 5165 ha.

Blue Sky's cotton farm Gundaline Station has been sold for around $65 million.
The price has not been revealed, but in an announcement to the ASX on Friday, ASX-listed Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund confirmed the price was "in line with the Alternatives Fund carrying value for the investment".
<div>
<div id="article-inline-ad">"We anticipate this investment will be completed in the third quarter of 2018, following FIRB approval and the completion of the current cotton harvest and ginning," BAF said</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The trouble fund manager held around a third of the rural asset.</div>
</div>
It was listed for sale late last spring through Kidder Williams.
The sale to an offshore European party was close to being finalised, The Australian first reported mid-last week, with contracts exchanged last week.
The asset sits within Blue Sky's Real Estate Assets division. 
The farm, at at Carrathool off the Sturt Highway, isn one of Australia’s largest irrigation properties.
Gundaline Station is located in the highly regarded Southern Riverina region of NSW. 
<div>
Dutch-based Optifarm, a fund backed by high net worth European investors, bought it from Blue Sky, the Dutch government pension fund ABP and Singapore-based asset manager Duxton.
Optifarm's acquisition of Gundaline Station followed its earlier purchases this month of Jemalong Station and Jemalong Citrus at Forbes in the NSW Central West region from the Kahlbetzer family's Twynam Agricultural Group.
</div>
Fronting the Murrumbidgee River in NSW, the 15,000 hectare Gundaline property suited to growing a combination of irrigated cotton, cereals/oilseeds/legumes and permanent crops such as almonds was last sold in 2014 to the institutional investor consortium.
Over the past four years, they have more than doubled the land area under irrigation, significantly expanded and improved the water storages and irrigation infrastructure, as well as upgrading the existing irrigation land. 
The property consists of more than 6,000 hectares of highly developed furrow irrigation (over 3,500 hectares of new development), with the balance comprising land suitable for development to permanent plantings and additional furrow irrigation, and grazing land. 
The holding benefits from significant water entitlements.
The Australian Financial Review indicated Optifarm's directors are listed as Jelle Rienk Elzinga, managing director of Dutch-based securities trader Optiver and Michael Wheeler, a finance manager at Australian agribusiness firm Landmark.

Tarramia, the NSW Riverina estate that was farmed by one of Melbourne's leading businessmen, Sir Clive McPherson, has been sold.
The Mulwala holding has been in the family for over six decades. The buyers are whispered to be Andrew Bouchier and his wife, Ann Marie.
As neighbouring properties were subdivided, McPherson, the prominent agriculturalist, began buying up during the interwar year the local farms, with Tarramia forming a significant part of his land holdings.
Macpherson sat on the board of the pastoral house, Younghusband Ltd, the National Bank, the Commonwealth Bank, Australian Wheat Board and the Royal Melbourne Hospital.
The McPhersons regularly entertained at the home. Guests included Prime Minister Robert Menzies and his wife, Dame Patty Menzies and the Governor General Sir William and Lady Slim and the Governor of Victoria Sir Dallas Brooks and Lady Brooks.
The local picnic races each year were the occasion for Sir Clive and Marion to entertain a large house party.
The near 2,000 hectare property was expected to sell for $10 million plus. 
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/3/28/mulwala%202.jpg" alt="">
Tarramia South comprises 601 hectares with the original lakeside three bedroom homestead.
Tarramia North spans 1,393 hectares. He died in 1958 having his daughter, the late Marion Orme Page retain the property. Her South Yarra estate sold for $33 million in 2016.
Matt Childs at Pat Rice &amp; Hawkins was marketing the property in conjunction with Elders Real Estate. Offers closed April 4.
Much of the infrastructure on the property, including the homestead and adjoining cottage, has been renewed in recent years, after being in the direct path of a tornado in 2013.

The 1870s Brucedale Chapel in the NSW Riverina has been listed for sale.
Over the years the property has been the venue for many weddings. 
It goes to <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-brucedale-127668850" target="_blank">March 24 auction</a>.
The Brucedale Community Chapel was refurbished by the Oleary's in 1995 with the chapel being reconsecrated and blessed by Bishop Brennan in the same year.
Since this time the chapel has been open to weddings and christenings for all people of all denominations and orientations.
The lush green gardens are spotted with rose bushes, vine covered walkways and a multitude of coloured flowers.
"The cherry on top is a beautiful old bell that can be heard at the conclusion of any ceremony," the marketing says.
Dame Mary Gilmore, a noted Australian poet, attended church here as a child and was so inspired by the beauty and magic of the property that she wrote the following poem:
O neighbourly hands and neighbourly hearts,  How memory burns and the hot tear starts! For, shades in the moonlight, I see you pass Where the white of the frost is crimping the grass, And I hear you sing, when the nights are dark,  Where you set your course to an heavenly mark. O brave forerunners, who never sought fame,  How the church you loved must treasure each name!
The main house has a Tuscan exterior with its painted concrete walls and green gardens.
The French doors opening out to the front porch are over 100 years old, coming from the dividing wall at Mt Erin archives and have been cut and re-glassed to fit into the house.

The total land value for the Riverina region has increased over the 12 month period to 1 July 2016 by 9.1% from $13.24 billion in 2015 to $14.44 billion in 2016, according to the latest report from the Valuer-General.
The Report on NSW Land Values at 1 July 2016 found that overall land values in the region showed a moderate increase.
Exceptions to this trend were the LGAs of Lockhart (18%), Griffith (13.1%), and Bland (18.1%) where land values increased strongly.
The former LGAs of Gundagai (1.6%) and Murrumbidgee (-1.3%) remained stable overall.
The largest increase in land values in the region was for rural properties, with an overall increase of 11.6%.
The LGAs of Bland (20%), Carrathool (19.7%) and Lockhart (19.5%) experienced the strongest increases.
There was a recent sale of the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-mixed+farming-nsw-carrathool-7844346" target="_blank">Carrathool farm</a>, Haylock and Katika at an undisclosed price.
Residential land values showed moderate increases overall, however there were strong increases in the Griffith LGA (18.1%), while Coolamon (7.4%) and Junee (7.4%) LGAs experienced moderate increases.
Land values in Murrumbidgee (-8.5%) decreased moderately as supply over the period exceeded demand.
Land values for commercial land increased moderately overall by 5.2%.
Temora (14.6%) and Gundagai (14.4%) LGAs showed the strongest increases due to strength in the local rural and tourism industries.
Industrial land values for the region have remained steady.
Exceptions to this trend were seen in Temora (10%) and Junee (8.1%), which both experienced moderate increases resulting from demand by industries supporting the rural sector.
There were also smaller increases of around 5% in Griffith and Cootamundra.
