JQZ secures Woollahra Council's Waterloo depot
The Chinese developer JQZ has reportedly paid $50 million plus for Woollahra Council's former depot in Waterloo.
JQZ, which also emerged last year as the $47 million development site buyer at nearby 904 Bourke Street, was previously known as the Tong Group which was founded in 2005.
The 1.4 hectare holding at 52-54 O’Dea Avenue is located within walking distance of Green Square railway station.
The site is zoned for mixed-use of up to about 18 storeys with one tower, plus four x eight storey buildings.
JQZ has more than 1,000 apartments under way across Sydney having developed apartments in Burwood, Parramatta, Homebush, Harris Park and Rockdale.
The Bay at Meadowbank is another project.
It has also recently marketed 250 apartments in its Parramatta Road, Homebush project, Grand Central, Homebush, which is a development site with 430 apartments scheduled for completion by 2016. Grand Central development will comprise two buildings, a 7-storey and 13-storey.
JQZ paid $30 million for the 10,000 square metre site at 6-18 Parramatta Road, which is its 10th Sydney project.
JLL had the council offering, the Australian Financial Review report said.
The local paper has advised that council received the first of four payments, a $5.6 million deposit, from Chinese developer JQZ as part of a deferred two-year sale.
