The below article about the Liverpool Civic Place precinct is great news for our clients who purchased in Liverpool back in 2017. This investment in the area will have a positive effect by  making Liverpool more appealing to not only residents but also will attract more investment,  and create more jobs within the community. 

Construction and development group Built has signed an agreement with Liverpool City Council to jointly develop the $400 million Liverpool Civic Place precinct, in Sydney's fast-growing third CBD.

A development application for the FJMT-designed masterplan for Liverpool Civic Place was lodged last week, located at the southern end of Liverpool, at 52 Scott Street.

Liverpool City Council has committed $195 million to deliver the council assets, in the first stage of the project, which Built will construct.

The privately-owned Built will cover the commercial costs of the remaining stages of the project.

Liverpool Civic Place will include, a 24-level mixed-use tower combining commercial, retail and educational spaces, along with a nine-level 126 room hotel or student accommodation building, new council offices, childcare occupying 17,000sq m, and a new 5,000sq m city library.

Council, which owns the land Liverpool Civic Place will be developed on, rezoned 25 hectares in the heart of Liverpool to allow an 18-hour economy.

While construction on stage one of Liverpool Civic Place is expected to commence mid-next year, all stages remain subject to development application approval.

Built managing director Brett Mason described the project as “transformative” in announcing the partnership with Liverpool city council.

“This is a great example of private sector partnering with government to unlock opportunities within existing assets to benefit the community and attract more investment into Liverpool,” Mason said.

Liverpool mayor Wendy Waller said Liverpool Civic Place was part of more than $1 billion worth of mixed-use developments in the pipeline for the city.

“It’s a great example of Council leading activation of our own CBD using existing assets,” Waller said.

Stage one is expected to be completed by mid-2022.

Built is currently constructing Towers 3, 4, 6&8 as part of Lang Walker Corporation’s Parramatta Square precinct, Built's development pipeline includes the redevelopment of the Sydney CBD heritage-listed Sub Station No.164 which it sold to TH Real Estate for $180 million on Clarence Street and the Double Bay Cross Street car park into a new mixed-use development.

Introducing The Palms Estate, Cairns - The Northern Beach's Premier Address

By Peter Gordon • 26 Apr, 2023

Quiet simply, the Palms is the place to buy!

The northern beaches of Cairns is the Nation's best location for property investors right now, and The Palms is the premier development in this boom region.

It has the best location being elevated and backing onto the rainforest. It will have amazing facilities with a shopping village, a primary school, parks and green open space, a water park and an expanse of wildlife corridors.

It has taken the developers three years to get planning approval for this unique development to be able to hit the market. There are only 300 lots spread across 85 acres of the best land in The Northern Beaches.  Residents will have an abundance of open space right at their doorstep.  The Palms is also the only Certified Enviro Development project in Far North Queensland.

In the rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne, the winner is ... Brisbane

By Peter Gordon • 20 Apr, 2023

Sydneysiders and Melburnians, put aside your equally outstanding flat whites for a moment. Stop bickering about whether great beaches beat cool laneways (they do) and desist from debating whether all baristas require waxed moustaches (ideally).

Because Brisbane is closing in on the title of Australia’s best city, and we must join forces to keep this subtropical upstart in its place.

Time  magazine recently named Brisvegas on its “World’s Greatest Places” list, and omitted our cities. It’s a huge shock (and who knew they still published Time  magazine?). But they might be onto something.

Time  points to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which will be hosted in the maroon metropolis. Brisbane will do a fine job, even though it’ll baffle the world when rugby league is added to the schedule and Queensland is allowed to field its own team.

Time’s  most radical claim is that Brisbane is worth visiting now, but tourism is surging. Not only did Lin-Manuel Miranda recently drop in to catch Hamilton , but hundreds of Hamilfans flew up to watch his interview with Leigh Sales (presumably unaware that it would subsequently arrive on iView for free).

This small duplex development just a short drive from Hervey Bay on Queensland’s beautiful Fraser Coast, offers an incredible lifestyle at an affordable price. With unprecedented demand and very limited supply, prices look set to skyrocket.

A leading local agent has appraised each side of these duplex's to be worth $665k on completion and rent for $495 per week. So that is massive potentail instant equity of up to $390K on completion, which is incredibly hard to find.
