Note from the editor

I

f the secret to success in the property market could be distilled into a single word, that word would be “confidence”. It has been a theme so far of Nine’s new Your Domain program (airing Saturdays at 10am). As the market drop has stabilised, along with interest rates holding, all property players can progress with confidence. Buyers can scout favoured suburbs without prices sprinting ahead like a thoroughbred in full flight.

And sellers can list homes with the certainty of strong demand, so there is less hedging of bets (save that for Flemington) ahead of auction day. Speaking of racing, the New Living cover story reveals the first residences selling in the Moonee Valley Park redevelopment. I have fond memories of Saturdays at the track with my racing journalist father. I explored the display suite last week, and the precinct is a masterstroke. To cap this edition off, enjoy a tour of our residential cover property, a sublime penthouse in South Yarra.

Wikipedia lists some 70 different shades of blue,

including indigo, periwinkle, cobalt and Tiffany blue. From the pool deck of this spectacular north-facing home on Sydney’s northern beaches, these – and then some – are on display.

Start with the turquoise mosaic pool tiles, then look out to the aquamarine waters beyond the four-bedroom oceanfront property. Admire the steel-blue eucalypt forests of the Central Coast on the horizon, then lift your gaze to the sky above.

The 982-square-metre block is nestled into protected headland at Whale Beach, offering 180-degree views across Dolphin Bay and up the coast. The home had a big-ticket makeover in 2017, guided by architect Matt Beggs, of MSB Design, and interior designer Rodney Dickson.

There’s an easy flow between the open-plan living spaces, sun-soaked terraces, resort stylepool and Garden Life-designed yard.

“This home wants for nothing,” says Michael King, of Ray White Prestige Palm Beach, who’s quoting a guide of $7.5 million. Expressions of interest close September 27.

Heavenly views from on high

T

here is Melbourne, and then there is Melbourne from the 29th floor. While getting up close and personal to our dear town via her alleys and inner-city villages is diverse, atmospheric fun, there is nothing like seeing your city from on high.

Here, in this South Yarra penthouse, you might well get a little knot in the throat – Melbourne is a beautiful city and the panoramic, honest-to-goodness 360-degree views will take your breath away.

While the interiors up here are deeply impressive – as is the garage area, nine car spaces, if you don’t mind – we’re going to linger on those views a while, after all, it’s the vista that gives context to a penthouse.

DOM A IN

Every corner here delivers a remarkable perspective. Due west is St Kilda Road and the beginnings of the bay. Turn on your heel and bank a little north where the city towers mark their edges across the sky, the Botanic Gardens providing a splendid frame below. Keep on the pivot and admire our incredible tennis centre, the MCG, AAMI Park – a bountiful celebration of monumental architecture.

Head south and there’s the bay – blue as it’s ever been and spreading across the windows from the West Gate Bridge to Brighton and far beyond. A view of the Yarra as it snakes its way past the Nylex clock and into town is wonderful, too, and then there are the ranges in the east.

On a clear day, you can see forever, or at least across to the You Yangs and the Heads.

We might be pushing the hyperbole needle beyond the red with this view business, but there is a soaring, aweinspiring feeling in a place like this, and the spaces created to frame the glorious sights don’t disappoint.

There’s a nice bit of mystery just as you enter the penthouse, the dark timber panelled entrance is a brief, intimate welcome before you take a few steps forward and into the light of those views. It’s a superb, atmospheric introduction.

First, though, the very fine main bedroom on the right off the entry passage is an impressive place to while away some time.

More of those dark panels hold you in the private space, a handsome

A truly unique opportunity to buy a developer’s own penthouse apartment, with attention to detail, finishes and design that are second to none in Melbourne.

Need to know: This part of South Yarra was originally the suburb’s light-industrial belt. Right near South Yarra station, Toorak Road and Chapel Street, today it is a vibrant mix of urbane apartment living and laneway-style retail.

anchor underscored by the soberly lovely heft of the Portsea stone en suite. The attention to detail finds good expression in these small spaces – the stonework is superb, the full smooth hob of the bath spectacular, while elsewhere the differing cuts of the same grey stone bring varied texture and depth.

Still, you are inexorably drawn towards the windows, the light.

Off the entry hallway you come into a central space with the kitchen to the left behind you and the dining area and private plunge pool in front.

Yes, a pool, up here, in the air.

Head straight out onto the fabulous balcony that winds its way around pretty much the entire footprint and you’ll find yourself under a protected entertaining area. Next door, the pool has a window back over the dining room so you can make underwater faces at your dinner guests when you’ve had enough of staring at the view.

Come back inside and head to the northern corner where a sublime living area boasts more of that impressive stonework in the form of the lofty hearth and the northwestern city postcard bends around the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Bank a little further around to a neat study that gives the best views of our beautiful Yarra.

Crossing the space past the incredible marble kitchen, all blankfaced inscrutable style courtesy of the superb, smooth integration, you’ll

find yourself on the southern edge where another living room offers you the great blue view. Set to the side is a shimmering powder room.

Stepping out here you can wander the entire southern perimeter of the penthouse – an outlook altogether captivating as you follow the contours of our close coastline.

Another hall jags east and runs you past the excellent butler’s pantry and beyond to two mirror-image bedrooms, each with water views, sparkling en suites and wardrobes.

A third bedroom benefits from a bend in the floor plan to the east so you get acres of space, en suite, walkin wardrobe and views from the ranges to the sea. At the easterly end of the hall there’s a media/games

room with a bar and space for pool tables and pinball machines.

Naturally there are, you know, views.

The composition here is magnificent – generous space, smartly zoned wings and a fine balance between private and communal areas. A sublime fitout where stone and timber finishes strike an effortless balance is just as good. The combination of these in service of the city views up here in the clouds is nothing short of dazzling.

This feature is part of a Domain Deluxe package.

Shelley Craft and Chris Kohler co-host a new show for a nation hungry NICHOLAS WILSON

for property knowledge.

Keeping watch on the market

A

lmost three years ago, smashed avocado and home ownership became inextricably linked.

A column by social commentator Bernard Salt, in which he suggested young people could better save for a deposit if they stopped buying smashed avocado on toast for breakfast, kicked off a national debate around housing affordability, and the smashed avocado meme persists today.

For journalist Chris Kohler, co-host of the new Channel Nine show Your Domain, it marked a turning point in his career.

Kohler was then a business reporter and the reply he wrote to Salt’s piece catapulted his career into property.

Kohler, who is saving for a deposit for his first home, argued that not all Millennials were financially irresponsible but rising prices made it increasingly difficult to take that first step on the property ladder.

In 2017, Kohler was appointed business editor at Domain. He continued to delve deep into financial topics in a subsequent role as a business news presenter on Your Money, and his new role marks a homecoming of sorts.

Your Domain airs Saturdays at 10am on Nine. Kohler co-hosts the live program with Shelley Craft and is also reporting for Nine News, covering property and business.

“Over the past few years, I have been writing and talking about things from a hopeful first-home buyer’s perspective, but that won’t be all I am doing in this new show,” Kohler says.

On Your Domain, Kohler hopes to make complex property topics relatable to those embarking on their respective journeys.

“Traditionally, my role as a journalist has been to look at the numbers side of things that do filter through the property market and have an impact on hip pockets –

except the problem with all those factors is people often talk about it in another language,” he says.

“People just so often struggle to communicate those big-picture factors like interest rates or basically anything to do with clearance rates or the property market in a way that really lands for people.

“I really hope to be able to be someone who can talk about those things in a clear and concise way.”

Kohler promises the show will also have a light touch.

“It’s a conversation-driven show, and it will be very Saturday morning, if you like,” he says.

“We’re aware of the fact that people are rushing around, they have kids to drop off at sports or are on the way to a barbecue, so it’s absolutely not going to be very dense.

“It’s a good time to be bringing on a new show like this because of what’s happening in the market right now.

“We have these clearance rates that are incredibly high and buyers seem to be very keen.

“The missing piece of the puzzle has been listings – are we going to see them? That’s the big question right now.”

Kohler and his wife hope to make their first step on the property ladder soon.

“I dream I’ll be able to own a home sometime soon,” he says.

“We’re certainly excited about taking the next step and we’re looking for something we can do up a little bit. We’re not afraid to get in and get our hands dirty – watching Shelley all those years on The Block inspired us.

“We’re in the process, like so many first-home buyers are, of trying to build our deposit and trying to find houses we like, and keeping an eye on listings on Domain, of course.”

Your Domain airs Saturdays at 10am on Nine.

What to ask when buying a new unit

W

Who is the developer?

The developer is generally the owner of the land being developed, and may contract architects for design, builders for construction and consultants to oversee the project.

Larger developers often handle the entire process in-house.

The people and companies involved will have a major effect on the quality of the finished product, and buyers should investigate everyone tasked with delivering the project, according to Adam Sparkes, general manager at McGrath Projects.

“Look at the directors behind the companies,” he says. “What’s their experience? What’s their CV like?”

FRANK MAIORANA

hen you buy an apartment, you don’t just buy a home.

You also buy a share of the building itself and the land it’s on.

Buyers unfamiliar with the intricacies of strata may not understand the gravity of that purchase, and what it can mean down the track if something goes wrong.

The recent defects scandal has highlighted the need for increased diligence among new apartment buyers, and the importance of choosing a developer capable of delivering what they promise.

Buyers now need increased awareness about what they’re buying and who built it to avoid facing hefty repair bills in years to come.

Purchasers should ask about the developer’s process for quality control, according to Colliers International residential managing director Peter Chittenden.

“Do they have an external consultant to manage the builder?

What is their process when they have to pay the builder to ensure that the work is done properly?”

Buyers should ask the developer about their customer service after completion, Chittenden says. “If there are any issues with defects or any issues with the building, how are they going to handle it and what’s their approach for making sure everything is as smooth as possible?”

“It just reinforces the importance of buying from developers that have a good track record.” - STUART PENKLIS Buyers should look for consistency in the project team throughout development, Sparkes says. “Having a named architect involved will add some credibility to the design. But sometimes the named architect might come up with concept and then a lesser-known architect may take over.”

What’s their track record?

Buyers should quiz developers about their previous projects, and if a developer is forthcoming it’s often a good sign.

“Most developers that have a good track record would be proud of their past achievements,” Sparkes says.

A developer’s portfolio provides the best indication of how a new

apartment will turn out, according to Mirvac head of residential Stuart Penklis.

“One of the most important things is to go and physically inspect their early developments to see if reality matches the promise,” he says.

Buyers should also talk to owners and building managers of existing properties built by the developer to understand the quality of their past projects.

“Most important is what has been the purchaser’s experience postsettlement in dealing with the developer with issues that may arise,” Penklis says.

“There’s always going to be minor items that come around with any new building that need to be rectified. The true test of the quality of a developer is the way in which they respond and deal with those items.”

What’s their reputation?

Well-regarded developers’ names are often used in the marketing of established properties.

“If they reference that it’s been built by a particular developer, it’s a pretty good sign that developer has a good reputation,” Penklis says.

“If it’s difficult to work out who built the building, that would raise questions why the developer hasn’t

been proud to attach their name to a past project.”

Buyers seeking certainty should avoid first-time developers, Chittenden says. “I don’t think you want to be with a developer that hasn’t undertaken work before,” he says. “That would be the biggest risk.”

Affordability and convenience means well-located apartments will continue to prove popular for a wide variety of buyers. Despite several high-profile incidents, major problems are rare.

“If we compare our construction methods in Australia on a worldwide stage, we do have very strict guidelines to ensure our buildings are built to a very high standard,” Sparkes says.

Increased scrutiny on the construction sector has meant buyers have become more educated and expect a quality product, Penklis says.

“It just reinforces the importance of buying from developers that have a good track record.”

Period elegance that has flourished since 1880 and the contemporary excellence contributed by a 2013 renovation by esteemed architect Neil Clerehan are brilliantly, beautifully combined throughout WYNSTAY. In a residence that’s recognised for its spaces and revered for its style, the character of refined formal rooms is complemented by the light-filled ease of informal proportions and a magnificent kitchen featuring a butler’s pantry. Above, five bedrooms of unlimited luxury share two sublime bathrooms, including the main bedroom´s ensuite. Two additional bathrooms, zoned heating and air-conditioning, plantation shutters and 3 phase power accompany a fabulous home further enhanced by the flexible lower level’s retreat/theatre, gym, wine cellar and storage. A separate billiards room, solar/gas heated pool, travertine terrace, BBQ bench, external fire-place, lift access to all floors and and 3 car garage add to - but by no means conclude - the attractions of WYNSTAY, moments from leading schools, Glenferrie Road and transport.

Whether it’s swapping tips from the form guide or delighting in the fashions on the field, a day at the races is a day spent chinwagging and mingling.

So, it’s only fitting that the ability to connect is respected in the design of new residences that form part of the $2 billion regeneration of the Moonee Valley Racecourse.

The development of what will be known as Moonee Valley Park will see more than 2000 residences built across nine hectares of the Moonee Valley Racing Club’s 40-hectare site.

The first stage of the project is Feehan Row, a collection of 67 townhomes and terraces built along McPherson Street.

In designing Feehan Row, architects at Rothelowman have drawn inspiration from the history of the racetrack, which dates back to 1883, and the many picnics, family

days and catch-ups held there over the years.

Creating places where residents could simply interact was a primary objective, said Rothelowman principal Chris Hayton.

“We’ve seen a loss of those spaces in residential, particularly terraced houses, in recent years in Melbourne,” he says.

“So, what we’re keen to do is re-establish those semi-public, semiprivate spaces where people actually meet their neighbours, more transitional thresholds from public to private space, not just a front door.

“I don’t think it happens a lot now because we haven’t designed houses that facilitate it. We have these very abrupt thresholds in more contemporary housing where you walk off the street through the front door. There’s no place to choose to stop and linger.”

Hayton and his team zeroed in on the front gardens of the townhomes as places where neighbours could meet and greet, and children could play.

“Feehan Row looks at the use of front gardens as opportunities to integrate landscape that’s consistent with the bigger picture vision, but also to provide places for people to interact with their neighbours,” he explains.

“We want the houses at Feehan Row to provide those opportunities for social interaction with the neighbours and foster that feeling of community as much as we can.

“It’s a very particular piece of the design to create houses that have a certain generosity that’s been missing and that generosity is about giving back in the broader context and providing those spaces that modern cities are losing, those little pieces of the puzzle that builds communities.”

Feehan Row is named after Feehan’s Farm, owned by the Feehan family, who sold the farm to William Samuel Cox in 1883.

Cox established the Moonee Valley Racecourse and his namesake race, the popular Cox Plate, was first

The next chapter of the site, which is a joint venture between developer Hamton and superannuation fund Hostplus in partnership with Moonee Valley Racing Club (MVRC), will not only see racing continue, but it will also allow the MVRC to invest in construction of a new grandstand and racetrack.

While the redevelopment will see a wealth of new buildings and parks, including Tote Park, heritageinspired elements will be everywhere residents look.

With a subtle touch, interior designers Miriam Fanning and Lisa Ransom from Mim Design have embraced the racetrack’s history.

“On every job that we work on, if there’s historical relevance we really love to dig and delve into that because it’s really important,” explains Fanning.

“It’s what makes our suburbs interesting places in Melbourne.”

Gentle nods to stables and horse racing can be found throughout the interiors, giving Feehan Row residences a character unlike other homes on the market.

“We wanted bright open spaces, which is what you would expect of stables, with high ceiling heights and

also, in terms of detailing, we looked at things like vertical strapping in the robe joinery and framework around it, and in the bedhead details.”

The townhomes and terraces feature basement garages and living spaces on the ground floor. The kitchen is at the heart of the ground floor plan, but Fanning says the design of each residence is deliberately different.

“It’s not a cookie-cutter floor plan, which is really lovely because it gives people choice,” she says.

“Design diversity is really important and so is making sure that things are designed for the long haul, not the short, quick sell-it-and-get-out.

Coburg’s collective chic

Architect Jesse Linardi embraces the local ‘architectural vernacular’.

“So the curves at Balwyn Park do two things – soften the built form so it’s not so boxy and provide a subtle reference to the local art deco architectural vernacular.

“It’s almost like taking your hat off or shaking someone’s hand when you step inside and it’s not overt, a lot of people wouldn’t even realise, but it’s a way of us paying respect to the streets.”

Before handing the project to Linardi and his team, developer Eversun Group had a permit for a

different design. Eversun requested a new creation that would take full advantage of the nearby greenery at Balwyn Park.

“The original design was basically not, in our opinion, meeting the aspirations of the client, but also the opportunities of the site in the way it was orientated with the outlook over the park,” Linardi says.

“So they came to us to start again and to rework the permit into a new permit.”

The result is 12 three-bedroom apartments with generous layouts of up to 165 square metres.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing creates a welcoming space in the lobby, which is decorated with natural stone flooring. Full-length windows also grace the stair core, making it another open and light-filled communal space for residents.

Apartment entries have lots of luxurious additions including inset carpet, timber veneer doors and custom gold mirrors.

Inside, the apartments have been stylishly fitted by Mim Design, while landscape designer Paul Bangay has overseen the gardens.

Balwyn Park is just 120 metres from the shops of Whitehorse Road and 500 metres from the Palace Balwyn Cinema.

Construction is scheduled for completion in November next year.

new collection of apartments and townhouses is making its way to Sydney Road, Coburg.

Designers behind Coburg Collective say they are drawing on the north’s industrial past and chic present to channel a sophisticated style.

Architects and interior designers at Hayball have worked on the entire project and collaborated to benefit the exterior and interior. Senior interior design Jun Huh says the cohesive approach has meant it is light-filled throughout.

“The architecture brings all the light into the basement, a communal area with a big beautiful swimming pool, lounge area and gym area that is linked to the ground area with a lobby and a library,” he says.

Coburg Collective will include a new urban plaza and public laneway.

Market sense and sensibility

L

esson number one of university days (one of admittedly not many for me, a terribly restless student) was that prices respond eventually to one fundamental economic concept – supply and demand.

I feel strongly that in today’s environment, our prices and sentiment are influenced less by simple supply and demand fundamentals, but more by the constant state of government and banking regulation and intervention, swinging the proverbial pendulum from go to whoa.

Even I find myself making moves with trepidation, distracted by the hype and white noise. I admit, even with an ear to ground, surrounded by the best minds and intel in the

market, it’s genuinely difficult to block out the relentless barrage of “bust” and “over-supply” talk, which has been speculated about daily and even hourly in the past three years.

As developers in one of the most liveable cities in the world, we have to try to ignore the fear-mongering, media beat-ups and agent-hype creating a false sense of the market.

The government, developers, consumers and authorities alike need a reminder to look more closely at the fundamentals of our market, which remain incredibly strong, and resist being distracted by what gets votes or sells papers.

The facts are black and white – our housing market is not oversupplied, but we are over-regulated and under-

prepared for our city’s population growth, which shows no signs of slowing. There may be pockets that have been over-developed with the wrong product but, generally, as a city we are under supplied.

Meanwhile, the number of abandoned residential projects in Melbourne from December 2017 to December 2018 surged 20-fold from 1743 to 34,126, according to the Urban Development Institute of

“Even I find myself making moves with trepidation, distracted by the hype and white noise.”

Melbourne is adding 327 people every day with 120,000 last year and 460,000 in the past three years, ABS data shows. It’s also pegged to overtake Sydney to be Australia’s largest city within the next six years.

policy – just to name a few – make development less and less attractive, and for many unviable.

Vacancy rates are at record lows of 1.8 per cent according to SQM Research – objectively a rental crisis causing rents to increase at over 2.1 per cent per annum, which can only jump further in coming years as supply dries up. For comparison, a 3 per cent vacancy rate is considered a stable market.

Simply put, when you ignore the hype and look at lesson number one, we are not creating enough dwellings to sustain the perpetual demand from population growth.

The Victorian budget and economy relies heavily on the property industry, with over 44 per cent of state budget revenue derived from the property industry and over 24 per cent from stamp duty alone.

A downturn in the property market caused by a too-sharp policy intervention has massive implications for jobs and the overall economy.

Only three months ago the Victorian government finally acknowledged a $5.2 billion hole in its budget due to decreased stamp duty revenue. The solution? a) Impose stamp duty on developers under development agreements, creating yet another barrier to supply and further increasing prices for purchasers; and b) Further increase FIRB taxes, despite foreign sales virtually stopping completely following the questionable policy of removing offthe-plan stamp duty concessions and restricting lending to FIRB buyers.

I stand by my comments made to the Australian Financial Review back in May, that reductions to interest rates (even down to 0 per cent) alone will not fully revive and restore confidence in the property

market. Until liquidity in the debt market is re-opened, barriers to supply will continue to harm the economy and fail to adequately prepare our great city for further population growth.

That said, it appears APRA and the banks are finally taking notice and appear to be in agreement that credit restrictions must be loosened, and quickly. The question is whether “quickly” is soon enough to open supply back up before we head towards a serious rental crisis that forces up rents and, in turn, prices.

However, all of this means nothing if we do have a global crisis or recession created by Trump, China, Brexit, Europe or any other macro factors at play currently, which would put huge pressure on our finance and the banking system. This is a great time to be carefully scouring the market for great opportunities.

ou can leave it to the Census to tell the Brunswick East story.

Between 2011 and 2016 the population of postcode 3057 grew from 8476 to 11,504.

So where did they all fit? The Census also records a corresponding jump in the number of dwellings from just over 4100 to almost 6000.

The apartment boom – because it’s mostly apartments, and they’re attracting a mostly younger demographic of inhabitants – has changed the face of Brunswick East.

Formerly a semi-industrial area with sprawling factories, with the CBD just six kilometres to the south, gentrification was always going to come knocking.

The cranes, concrete trucks and high-vis vests have been focused on Nicholson Street north of Brunswick Road, which has resembled a giant construction site for the past few years, and there’s plenty to come.

The huge East Brunswick Village, the first part of which is due to be completed in February next year, is

expected to add 1500 more residents and a supermarket and cinema.

On a more boutique scale, the Nightingale, on the corner of Nicholson and Miller streets, will replicate the model of affordable, environmentally sustainable development that has already proven successful next door in Brunswick.

Brunswick East is big on community. Community radio station 3RRR has broadcast its eclectic mix of programming from the corner of Blyth and Nicholson

streets since 2004. Perched next to the Merri Creek and bike trail, CERES is a landmark environmental education centre that rehabilitated a former tip into a permaculture oasis housing a cafe and plant nursery, organic gardens and many chickens.

Brunswick East’s Lygon Street has a booming food and drink scene that eclipses its Carlton end in the cool stakes; look no further than recent arrival The Wood Samaritan, which can safely claim to be the suburb’s first Canadian log cabin bar.
