Peter Reith buys Brighton apartment off the plan

Former Feberal Government minister Peter Reith and wife Kerrie have bought off the plan in Melbourne's Brighton.

They've secured an apartment in the soon to be built Amano development on Well Street, slated for completion next year.

Reith has been commuting between apartments in St Kilda Road and Canberra, as well as Trenavin, their farm in Stonyford which was sold earlier this year for $700,000.

Amana, which means 'by hand' in Italian, has been designed by Rigney Scerri Architects.

It comprises five apartments.

Marshall White Projects now have just three apartments remaining.

Reith represented the electorate of Flinders for the Liberal Party from 1984 to 2001 including being the party's deputy leader for three years.
