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

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

Woollahra

<html><body>
The five-bedroom Woollahra house Icilus has been listed by the former coal baron, Brendan McPherson, and his wife, Rowena.
They want $13 million for the Ocean Street home.
They had bought it in 2010 for $8 million from the late media chief, Ian Law, and his wife, Roslyn who had bought it for $6.8 million in 2006 from Dion Werbeloff, the chief operating officer at Goldman Sachs JB Were, and his wife, Caroline Ralph-Smith.
The 1880s home was featured in Vogue Living after its Thomas Hamel makeover.
Prior to working at the Donaldson and Gloucester coal companies, McPherson worked with the Gas &amp; Fuel Corporation of Victoria.
These days McPherson runs the Rose Bay Regatta restaurant.
Nearby a <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-woollahra-126097058" target="_blank">1930s home on Edgecliff Road</a> fetched $10.1 million at auction earlier this week when sold to a Moncur Street-based neuroradiologist who outbid others including Quadrant Private Equity operative Charles Gibbon.
After an opening bid of $8 million it was neuroradiologist Jason Wenderoth who secured the home of Margaret Allsopp, of the Angus and Coote jewellery family
Allsopp, who bought it in 1972 for $126,000, has downsized to a $6 million Double Bay apartment.
The freestanding five bedroom home with harbour aspect came with a approval to develop the adjacent 157 sqm property with a two bedroom home.
Ray White Double Bay selling agent Gavin Rubinstein had expected a sale between $8 million and $8.8 million, but bidding strengthened when four parties competed from $9 million onwards when auctioned mid-week through Ray White's James Keenan.
Recently the Rosemont Avenue home of Monaco-based mining magnate Chris Kyraikou and his estranged wife Phoebe fetched $10 million plus.

Five-bedroom Woollahra house Icilus listed amid trophy home sales spree

<html><body>
Former swimwear model Jodhi Meares has helped her mother Denise Macpherson downsize just weeks after finding her own $2.75 million Sydney bolthole in Watsons Bay.
The mother-daughter duo have bought a two-bedroom Woollahra apartment that cost $1.37 million.
It is in an art deco complex amid the popular village.
It was secured in a recent off-market transaction in the block made famous in the 1970s when its facade featured in the television ­series Number 96.
The apartment sits above the streetfront retail space that long traded as the Eva Breuer Gallery.
It is not the first time the mother-daughter duo have co-owned.
There was a two-storey Paddington terrace that was ­recently sold to an expatriate.
They had paid $900,000 for the Victorian-style Underwood St terrace in 2004 that fetched about $2.6 million.
Soon after her 1999 marriage to tycoon James Packer, the Tigerlily label founder made sure her mother was looked after, securing a $2.4 million St Thomas St, Bronte, home for her.
The house was offloaded for $3.41 million in 2003, a year after the divorce.
Meares has been busy in her own property dealings of late.
After selling a Point Piper apartment, the fashion entrepreneur bought back into the market with a timber Victorian Georgian-style fisherman’s cottage at Watsons Bay.
Painted in baby blue, the $2.75 million home will be her Sydney bolthole since she divides her time between Sydney and the US, especially Hawaii.
Goodyer Real Estate agents Pauline Goodyer and Rosalia Marasco sold the home that came with design approvals to extend the two-bedroom dwelling by architects Cracknell and Lonergan.
The heritage-listed 1880s cottage — one of the fisherman’s cottage group of the Camp Cove village — had been passed in on a $2.7 million vendor bid before Meares swooped.

Spacious Victorian Woollahra house listed for sale

The Woollahra abode of Phoebe Kyriakou, the ex-wife of the Monaco-based Australian mining magnate Chris Kyriakou, has been snappily sold.
The matrimonial mansion, on Rosemont Avenue, the suburb's most prestigious boulevard, was listed with $10 million plus hopes.
The one time film producer Phoebe remained in residence while Chris stayed in Monaco, heading up the Cayman Islands based Natasa Mining.
The longtime mining magnate known as “The Golden Greek”, first made headlines in the financial gossip columns in the highflying late 1980s and their separation made for more recent headlines. 
This was their 2011 purchase, bought for $7.9 million from the Point Piper-bound publican Peter Ryan and his wife Toni.
The couple have also secured $4.25 million their glamorous Southern Highlands farm, also known as Eleuthera, which was where they married in 2000. 
They made a huge splash when six years ago they celebrated their birthdays - his 60th and her 40th - with a six-day, $1 million party on Christina Onassis’s yacht off Monaco.
The suburb's strong sales run has seen orthopaedic surgeon Professor Craig Waller and his wife Dr Fiona Waller sell their 1860s home for about $9 million, up solidly on the $7.45 million paid in 2015.
Woollahra's big auction yesterday saw just the two ultra-cautious bidders completing for the Wallis Street home of Lisa O'Brien, the non-executive director at Bupa and Smith Family chief.
The five bedroom, four bathroom home had been tipped by Ben Collier at The Agency to fetch $6.3 million plus, but the bidding petered out at $6.35 million.
It was however sold within an hour at an considerably higher, though undisclosed price.
There's been very keen interest in offerings around Woollahra's $3.4 million median house price.
Barbara and Graham Sylvester, co-owners of Paddington's hairdressing icon Sloanes, sold their classic Victorian three bedroom Ocean Street home for $3,505,000 through Di Jones agents Gary Sands and Jane Schumann. 
The Sylvester's, who paid $865,000 in 2001, are planning to return to England.
The Woollahra record house price stands at $16.5 million when Listowel, the 2779 sqm Edgecliff Road battle-axe property was sold last spring by the Vrisakis family.
The buyers, Brett and Tina Levy rank as only the fourth owner of the 1930s home built for the Cobcroft family.

The Double Bay dentist and medical appliance innovator David Penn, who is best known for his 2010 purchase of Villa Veneto in Point Piper, has secured an Woollahra investment.
It is a $1,855,000 three bedroom apartment on Trelawney Street in Manningham, a grand converted Victorian manor with just five apartments.
Ray White Double Bay agent Richard Carwin sold the home.
Penn and wife Linda, the Lowes Manhattan heiress, like to dabble usually with fixers uppers.
They set a then record Sydney when bought the five-storey Italianate harbour front villa Villa Veneto from recruitment entrepreneur Andrew Banks and his wife Andrea.
Late last year they opened up the harbourfront home for the inaugural Masquerade Ball for Children's Medical Research Institute, raising $700,000.

The Woollahra home of Phoebe Kyriakou, ex-wife of the Monaco-based Australian mining magnate Chris Kyriakou, has been listed with $10 million plus hopes.
Eleuthera last traded at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-woollahra-126020770" target="_blank">$7.9 million in 2011</a> when the Rosemont Avenue home was bought from publican Peter Ryan and wife Toni.
The one time film producer Phoebe remained in residence of the home while Chris stayed in Monaco, heading up the Cayman Islands based Natasa Mining.
Set on 570 sqm, the home has four bedrooms and four bathrooms. 
Chris Kyriakou, the longtime mining magnate known as “The Golden Greek”, first made headlines in the financial page gossip columns back in the highflying late 1980s. 
His last big splash was when the couple celebrated their birthdays together with a six-day, $1 million party on Christina Onassis’s yacht off Monaco - his 60th and her 40th some six years ago.
He recently sold Bowral's iconic 1888 Grand Arcade for $10 million, doubling his money having paid $4.75 million in 1999.
Their glamorous Southern Highlands farm, also known as Eleuthera, sold in 2015 for $4.25 million. They married at the Ellesmere Road property in 2000. 
They'd previously been renting Malcolm and Lucy Turnbull's Point Piper investment mansion.
His address in Monaco has been the prestigious Seaside Plaza on the Avenue des Ligures.

A Woollahra house has been sold for the first time.
Located at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-woollahra-125623350" target="_blank">5 Weldon Lane</a>, off Holdsworth Street, it came to the market for the first time since it was purchased new in 1987 for $380,000.
The double garage has side-by-side parking while the upper level bedrooms has a master with ensuite and north facing balcony.
The home was marketed by Daniel Baran &amp; Reece Coleman from Stone Double Bay.
The property was marketed with a $3.8 million price guide.
The home was offered by the Merlini family following the passing last month of Estela Merlini, wife of the late Michael Merlini, former Pan Am &amp; United Airlines general manager for Australia.
The home is one of five near identical “terraces” built in Weldon Lane in the mid-1980s on the site of old Eyles Woollahra Swimming Pool, where the former Olympic Coach and Bondi legend, Sep Prosser, was notorious for pushing his students into the water to learn to swim. 
The pool had been built in the 1960s on the site of the Morrison’s “Famous” Cake Factory.
This is the first sale in the street since 1998.

Only 100m to Queen Street cafes, the 251sqm offering provided a canvas for a contemporary makeover with oversized living areas, three large bedrooms on the first floor and a prized Woollahra double garage.
It has its own laneway with an extra-wide 9 metre street frontage with generous open living spaces and front and rear court gardens.

Fashion stylist Jane Jasper has upgraded homes in Woollahra.
Having sold her renovated, freestanding home for $2.25 million (pictured above), the former Lands End Boutique owner has settled on a $3,532,000 home at the tip of the suburb.
Jasper paid $1.3 million for her old two bedroom, two bathroom home in 2012 which sold after having a buyers' guide of $2.1 million with BresicWhitney agents Catherine Dixon and Shannan Whitney.
Her new purchase is a Burley Katon Halliday designed contemporary home with three bedrooms, a separate study and a swimming pool.
She bought it from restaurateur Basil Daniell and Cherie Bolitho who owned the one-time hatted Darlinghurst restaurant Oh! Calcutta!
Bradfieldcleary Double Bay agent Georgia Cleary sold the home.
Jasper studied at the prestigious London College of Fashion before returning to work at Australian Vogue.
She owned and operated culy boutique Lands End for six years, representing international top-end brands such as Céline, Proenza Schouler and Balmain.
Jasper has been regularly featured in Harper's Bazaar and Vogue and was named one of the best dressed women in Australia by the Sydney Morning Herald.

Actor Liana Cornell sold her Georgian-inspired, architect-designed Woollahra home ahead of the weekend's scheduled auction through LJ Hooker agents Glen Irwin and Peter Yopp. 
Cornell, who will star in the first series of Sky's new historical series Britannia, is the daughter of TV legends John "Strop" Cornell and Delvene Delaney.
Set for release this year, Britannia has been compared to the popular Game of Thrones.
The former model, who was cast in ABC's TV series East of Everything back in 2008 after graduating from NIDA, has spent most of her time split between Byron Bay and Los Angeles, with Europe increasingly on her travel plans.
The three level Russell Street home, rented for $2,000 a week fully furnished mid last year, cost Cornell $2.8 million in 2013.

A shop in the fashionable and arty shopping strip of Sydney’s Woollahra is up for lease.
Located at <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/https://raywhitewoollahra.com.au/properties/commercial-for-lease/nsw/woollahra-2025/retail/1649858" target="_blank">104 Queen Street</a>, the shop has strong street presence and is next to leading brands such as Sotheby’s, MJ Bale, Jo Malone etc.
The 200 sqm property boasts high ceilings and a light-filled external courtyard. 
The property lends itself to an array of uses, or even flagship retail, according to its description on Ray White’s website.
The listing agents are Ben Vaughan and Michael Aubusson of Ray White.
“We have had strong interest from Paul Smith, Aesop, Mother of Pear and Sons Trading,” said Ben Vaughan. 
The property last traded for $5,060,000 in 2010 when it was acquired by Wyelba Pty Ltd, a company run by Alisdair MacLeod and Prudence Murdoch, who bought it from art collector David Roche through Vaughan.
“At that time it housed the much-famed Martyn Cook Antiques and renowned interior designer Thomas Hamel,” said Vaughan.
