Property developer Alta is planning to redevelop an office tower just off St Kilda Road, converting it into residential apartments.

Alta, which is being led by former Fridcorp co-owner Nigel Givoni, has paid around $27 million for the B-grade office asset on a 2,323 sqm site at 10 Queens Road, opposite Albert Park. They are planning a conversion to build to sell apartments.

During the campaign, there became a divergence between bids based on those looking to purchase for office use and those proposing residential redevelopment through adaptive reuse. That gap was over 30 per cent, Cushman &amp; Wakfield advised.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Jozef Dickinson of Colliers Residential said “10 Queens Road is a prime example of a well-located but underutilised asset that can be repositioned to meet the evolving needs of the city.

"The St Kilda Road precinct, with its proximity to the CBD, Albert Park, and the new Anzac Metro Station underpins its higher and better use. Couple this with premium park and bay views, the site is well placed to support high-quality residential development.”

The site was bought from receivers for Taiwan-backed Everland Global. They had spent $59 million on the 19-level building in 2019 when they bought it from billionaire NBL owner and property developer Larry Kestelman.&nbsp;

Queens Road is where Mirvac is currently building <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-albertine-by-mirvac-melbourne-31-queens-lane-melbourne-vic-3004">The Albertine,</a> just under 100 apartments that will complete in mid-2026.

Rooftop pools are hard to come by in Melbourne.

While generally more of a trend in the Sunshine State due to the climate, Melbourne's gets plenty warm enough in Spring and Summer for the amenity that has been a little left behind in both the Victorian and New South Wales capital.

Projects by Crema decided to break the mould at its recently completed South Melbourne apartment development, The Eighth.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/the-eighth-south-melbourne-22-kings-place-south-melbourne-vic-3205">The Eighth</a> is one of the least dense projects to be delivered in South Melbourne in years, with just 36 large-scale apartments across the 12-level building.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5345 project_image_fid=269728]

It was about creating an inspiring space for residents to gather. Those who already call The Eighth home frequently head up to the roof, whether it's for a swim or for the bar and dining area, which offer sweeping views to both the Melbourne CBD skyline and Albert Park.

There's further amenity within the building, with an Italian eatery, serving from the early hours through to the mid afternoon, located conveniently on the ground level.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5345 project_image_fid=269730]

Peter Kennon, the architect behind the building, described The Eighth as “a container for life”.

Kennon and Projects by Crema Founder Nicolas Crema bonded over their mutual frustration with buildings and residential developments that claimed to offer a superior lifestyle, but did not at their heart have an understanding of and appreciation for the way people really want to live, and that did not give residents the power to curate their own lifestyles.

They decided to create a place to live where people’s lives organically spilled over the edges of their private residences and into other areas of the building. And where spaces inspire feelings of belonging.

This shared vision has resulted in a building that is intuitive, easy living in its DNA. The thinking behind The Eighth and its design epitomises Kennon’s and Crema’s philosophy of lifestyle without compromise.

The building elevates everyday experiences and activities – like reading the paper or working in the downstairs café, meditating or exercising at lunch time, arriving home via a private lift at the end of the day, and catching up with family and friends at night by the rooftop pool – by centring the way people actually want to live now.

“To me, it’s about feeling comfortable in your own skin,” says Kennon.

“It’s the ability to craft a lifestyle and routine that enables you to spend time doing what you love and what makes you feel good. The Eighth works to the patterns of the people living in the building."

To cater for a variety of lifestyle far and above what spaces there are for residents, The Eighth also has a dedicated concierge service and on-site management to elevate the day-to-day experience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5345 project_image_fid=269726]

The apartments themselves have been crafted by interior design doyenne Miriam Fanning, whose focus tends to be more on luxury houses than apartment developments.&nbsp;

Her design studio, MIM Design, created the spaces with timeless materials, such as stone benchtops, cove lighting in bedrooms, stone baths in most apartments, and expansive glazing that draws in natural light while maintaining privacy.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5345 project_image_fid=269730]

Located in South Melbourne, just one train stop from the CBD via the upcoming Anzac Station, The Eighth integrates private residences, co-working spaces, wellness facilities and hospitality offerings within a single, architecturally driven address.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

There are only four apartments left to sell in the building. The generously-sized 128 sqm three-bed apartments start from just under $1.6 million.

Projects by Crema takes lifestyle elements sky high at The Eighth in South Melbourne

Recruitment industry boss Sarina Russo, who heads up&nbsp;one of Australia's largest education, training, and employment providers, is turning to residential apartment development.

An entity tied to Russo has filed plans for a skinny 36-level tower, on a <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/457-adelaide-street-brisbane-city-qld-4000">narrow 367 sqm site on Adelaide Street</a>.

There are just 20 apartments proposed, some full-floor, some multi-floors.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/nettletontribe">Nettletontribe</a>, the project would replace Jamison House, an existing five-storey office building.

<img alt="457 Adelaide Street, BRISBANE CITY" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bd429ae2-a7c3-449b-89f3-7fb67e8c54c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Adelaide%20st%20front.png?VersionId=2iXa_91lFlbJsVJb15hjXzoAbs8jN5JQ" />

The architectural vision promotes “biophilic design, passive design, and open flowing spaces,” with interiors promising high-end finishes and abundant natural light, the documents submitted to the Brisbane City Council noted.

Each apartment has direct lift access, and most occupy entire or half floors, reinforcing the project’s high-end positioning. Generous private balconies face either Adelaide and Howard Streets.&nbsp;

According to the assessment report by Urbicus, “the building is well designed and articulated with varying setbacks, deep balconies, and variations in façade treatments and materials,” allowing it to integrate with its taller surroundings while minimising amenity impacts.

The uppermost levels will host communal amenities, including a rooftop pool, covered BBQ area, and multiple outdoor lounging zones, with additional resident facilities provided on Level 1 and a mezzanine.

Access to the site is split across its two frontages, with pedestrians entering from Adelaide Street while vehicle access is provided from Howard Street via a single 6.5-metre crossover.&nbsp;

Car parking is facilitated through a car stacker system across three basement levels, accommodating 24 spaces, 20 for residents and 4 for visitors, as well as bicycle storage.&nbsp;

<img alt="457 Adelaide Street, BRISBANE CITY" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3fe617d7-7f72-4ee6-ab3c-90a11d123248" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Adelaide%20st.png?VersionId=s4cGqip_A3okoUh_7xfzRJ2Biwdc7gOd" />

The project is a rare one for the Brisbane CBD, which hasn't had a new tower launch in years.

Meriton has <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/meriton-approved-for-brisbane-skyscrapers">approval for its two-tower development on Alice Street</a>, but they are yet to start marketing the 753 apartments.

Legacy Property is taking its new&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/north-sydney-nsw-2060">North Sydney</a> development to the NSW Government.

They've submitted a State Significant Development proposal for a mixed-use building with 35 apartments, 10 of which will be affordable, above a two-storey commercial podium at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1-church-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">1 Church Lane</a>.

The new development comprise 35 apartments, 10 of which are affordable, above a two-storey commercial podium. The plan includes the retention and adaptive reuse of the heritage-listed shopfront at 265 Pacific Highway, integrating it into the ground-level frontage.

According to the Scoping Report prepared by Planning Lab, the design “responds to the broader priority and urgent demand for affordable housing” while incorporating a “tower above consisting of 35 residential apartments and communal roof garden”.&nbsp;

Positioned within 300 metres of Victoria Cross Metro Station, the site qualifies for Housing SEPP incentives, including a 30 per cent bonus to height and floor space ratio, which the proposal seeks to utilise.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/nettletontribe">Nettletontribe</a>, the building would rise 10 to 13 storeys, with a stepped massing strategy to transition from the Pacific Highway frontage down to the finer-grain character of Church Lane. The two-level podium includes new commercial tenancies, communal open space, and landscaping.&nbsp;

Winter gardens have been integrated into apartments along the highway elevation to mitigate noise impacts, and Church Lane is set to be widened to six metres to improve access and separation from lower-scale dwellings to the east.

Nettletontribe said in the documents submitted as part of the application that the proposal delivers a well-resolved mixed-use development that responds to its urban and heritage context along Pacific Highway, North Sydney.

"Positioned along a key section of the Pacific Highway corridor, the site forms part of a transitional zone between the North Sydney CBD and the emerging Crows Nest and St Leonards centres. The design responds to this dual context—addressing the scale and intensity of the highway frontage while engaging sensitively with the finer grain and heritage character of Church Lane and West Street."

<img alt="Legacy" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="629ff458-3b46-4f72-a01b-aade8baf8b2d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-08-07%20at%2012.03.14%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=kNYKtqbXY1Gjov794jKtaOJmhFm15gUS" />

As the Scoping Report notes, “the design of the proposal is still consistent with the objective of [ADG] controls to maintain the privacy of neighbouring properties,” with separations and setbacks applied particularly along Church Lane.

The proposed envelope is largely consistent with the uplift previously approved through Planning Proposal PP-2021-2926, which designated the site as part of a Southern Transition Area in the North Sydney Civic Precinct Planning Study. That designation supports mid-rise, mixed-use development to bridge the scale between the North Sydney CBD and nearby heritage areas.

The site spans 1,099 sqm and includes four properties. While 253-263 Pacific Highway will be demolished, the heritage item at 265 will be retained and adapted for commercial or community use.&nbsp;

The development includes four levels of basement car parking accessed from Church Lane, with a total of 55 car spaces planned, exceeding minimum Housing SEPP requirements.

Legacy Property, led by CEO Matthew Hyder, has two projects in Macquarie Park, totalling nearly 400 apartments.

Sydney’s residential market continued its gentle climb in July, with dwelling values up 0.6 per cent over the month and 1.8 per cent across the rolling quarter.

The affordability gap between units and houses is continuing to wide. Units values grew by 0.2 per cent over July, whereas houses jumped by 0.8 per cent, Cotality's Home Value Index found.

Units in the harbour capital are now up 1.3 per cent over the quarter, compared to 1.9 per cent for houses.

Sydney median unit value is $868,000, some $662,000 less than the $1.53 million house median.

Sydney’s relative strength echoes broader capital city resilience, with combined capital values also up 0.6 per cent for the month and 1.8 per cent over the quarter. The gains are underpinned by interest rate cuts earlier in the year, tight listings, and steadily improving buyer confidence.

<h2>What happened in Sydney’s off the plan apartment market in July?</h2>

There were some major moves in the Sydney off the plan apartment market, from Sydney's biggest developers.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lendlease-development">Lendlease</a>&nbsp;formalised a new joint venture with Mitsubishi Estate Asia and Nippon Steel Kowa Real Estate to develop a $2.5 billion luxury project at 175 Liverpool Street.

Located on the southern edge of Hyde Park, the dual-tower development will deliver up to 300 high-end residences with north-facing views toward the Opera House and Harbour, alongside 2,000 sqm of retail and commercial space.

Construction is targeted to begin in 2027, pending approvals.

The development will offer 48 two and three-bedroom apartments, many of which will enjoy dual aspect, enhancing outlooks and cross-flow ventilation.

The existing parish church, built in 1924, will be retained and sensitively adapted into a meeting place and portal to the new contemporary auditorium and ministry spaces, linking old and new.

Traders In Purple CEO Brett Robinson said redevelopment of the site had been enthusiastically supported by many members of the local community.

“There is a demand for high-quality, well-designed, premium apartments for locals wanting to downsize in their neighbourhood and those wanting to raise their family in a highly desirable suburb without the burden of a high-maintenance house and yard.

“It was very clear to us that the local community is also in need of a larger performance space, and we look forward to providing the community with a fantastic new venue that will support the cultural richness of Lane Cove.”

City Beat July 2025: Sydney’s apartment upswing gathers pace as Sydney's biggest developers make major moves

Patrick Rafter

<html><body>
The Sunshine Coast home of the tennis legend Pat Rafter and wife Lara has gone under contract.
Their John Burgess-designed seven bedroom home finally attracted renewed buying attention in the wake of two $10 million sales.
The retired tennis champion Pat Rafter and his wife Lara had listed their dress circle Sunshine Beach home in August 2016 ahead of plans to settle at their 28 hectare Byron Bay retreat.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-sunshine+beach-123425942" target="_blank">They always wanted $18 million plus</a> for the seven bedroom, five bathroom beachfront home which was built in 2010.
Rafter recently suggested it was what it had cost.
They paid $9.5 million in 2006 for the building block with rival tennis star Thomas Muster missing out of the 1286 sqm double block holding.
The minimalist luxury U-shaped home has a central pool with two glass-fronted wings pushing out towards the ocean over a steep banksia and pandanus-covered dune that drops down to the beach.
There's a path to the sand and the surf, some 136 kms north of Brisbane.
Tom Offermann and Eric Seetoo at Tom Offermann Real Estate Noosa Heads had the listing which went under offer late last week.
Its ambitious asking price would almost double the previous Sunshine Coast record which stands at around $10.3 million. 
It would also rank among the all-time top half dozen Queensland residential sales.
They've built a barn style home on the Byron Bay outskirts among huge fig trees.
Having previously resided on Balmoral Slopes overlooking Sydney Heads, the sportsman's purchase marked a return to NSW property.
The father of two says there's "something to do every day" at the Byron property.
Since retiring, Rafter went on to become an underwear model for Bonds, a brand ambassador for the Mantra Group of hotels and a successful businessman.
In 2010 he was announced as Australia's Davis Cup captain and held the post until stepping down last year.
His greatest accomplishments came at the US Open, where he won back to back titles in 1997 and 1998, propelling him to world no.1 status in 1999.

Pat Rafter seeks $18 million plus on Sunshine Coast

The former tennis champion Pat Rafter and wife Lara have purchased a coastal Byron Bay paddock. Its 28 hectares subdivided off an original Broken Head farm.

No home on the site, just grazing cattle.&nbsp;

&quot;A country escape only minutes from the beach and moments from Byron Bay&nbsp;with a creek flat and an elevated building site,&quot; was the marketing pitch of&nbsp;LJ Hooker selling agent Glen Irwin, who had the listing inconjunction with Lois Buckett.

It had been on Irwin&#39;s books at a $1.75 million asking price for just over a year until its recent sale.

Locals jokingly expect a tennis academy, Florida-style, but I am advised it will be a family retreat for the Queensland-based family once the home is built.

The gently sloping land with some big fig trees had not been offered for sale in over 75 years.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29042 project_image_fid=165525]

The Noosa-based&nbsp;sportsman&#39;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-residential+land-nsw-broken+head-2806390" target="_blank">$1.35 million purchase</a> from the Boyes family marks a return to NSW property for the family who&nbsp;sold their Woollahra terrace after seven years ownership for $2.4 million in 2014.

They previously had&nbsp;a Sydney home on Hopetoun Avenue, Mosman which was sold in 2007 for $7.75 million.

The former world No. 1&nbsp;is Australia&#39;s Davis Cup captain and since earlier this year Tennis Australia&#39;s new director of performance.
