INTRODUCTION: Welcome to the July / August issue of The Property Development Review. And just like that – a year has blown by. Stepping into F20, our office is full of anticipation for the next six months amid a succession of positive recent news. Melbourne and Sydney are leading a market recovery, recording the first rise in values since their peaks back in 2017. The federal election result and the June interest rate cut certainly added to the boost in sentiment and we were encouraged to hear Core Logic’s head of research Tim Lawless state that the improving conditions were largely ‘organic’. In this issue, Costa Fox’s, Michael Fox shares some of his expertise with an informative Q&A from his recent DR podcast. Read why Uber Air’s Melbourne launch is likely to impact the industry, plus why now is the time to be buying development sites.

INTERVIE W: COSTA FOX

IN CONVERSATION WITH: MICHAEL FOX


THE PROPERT Y DE VELOPMENT RE VIE W

With over 25 years experience in both the local and international property industry, Michael Fox has (almost) seen it all. We recently sat down with him to unlock some of his industry insights, and to hear about the current operations and vision at his latest venture, CostaFox.

← Michael Fox. Image: Costa Fox

Development Ready: Thanks for sitting down with Development Ready - you got your start in property management, tell us about why you chose this field rather than going straight into sales? Michael Fox: I say to young people these days the best place to start within the property sector is in property management - it’s the entry level point into the industry and opens the door for future opportunities down the track. It also provides you with a good understanding of the mechanics that drive residential real estate transactions.

start I needed to go backward to go forward, so I went back into leasing within the commercial arena for a year before I earned my stripes and became an industrial sales agent.

DR: You moved quickly from leasing into residential sales, what was your motivation to make that transition after less than a year? MF: Well it’s a natural step - once I’d learnt the fundamentals within property management I was eager to capitalise on my ambitions and explore what opportunities were available within the sales arena. I could see that the experienced leaders within the office spent most of their time on the road meeting clients and closing deals and that’s where I could see myself moving as quickly as possible.

DR: And was it from there that you moved into the development space? MF: From McGees I transitioned into the office market with Knight Frank for a period, but I had my sights set on going bigger again – and development was where I saw that occurring. I joined the Smorgon Property Group, which after its disbandment led me to a position at Toll Holdings. This position was possibly the highlight of my career, as when I joined, the company was turning over $300 million per annum and by the time I left the company had got to $9 billion in annual revenue.

DR: Tell us about those early years in sales, who or what guided you back then? MF: I was a good ordinary sales person without setting the world on fire - fortunately I was lucky enough to work with and be mentored by the likes of Paul Walker who imparted in me a deep understanding of not only the property industry as a whole, but also how to work with people which is what drives any sales role.

DR: And I understand you worked with some pretty impressive people at Toll? MF: Absolutely, I worked with Mark Rowsthorn and Paul Little – some very strong business minded people. It was from working together at Toll that Paul and I started the journey into Little Projects.

DR: From there you transitioned from residential into commercial, talk us through that decision. MF: I’d always followed transaction activity within the commercial space - in residential sales the value of transactions were a lot less than those in commercial and I thought I had what it took to give it a go. To get a

DR: Why industrial? MF: In the commercial arena, there are different avenues; capital, industrial, office. I worked for a large industrial firm, McGees, under the direction of Tommy Davis, who was a legend in the industry and gave me insight into a much bigger market.

DR: Talk us through how Little Projects came into existence. MF: Well it was almost by accident really; I came across a site in Richmond that I thought I could do something with, and that ended up being quite successful. We then purchased another project and another and before we knew it Little Projects had grown into something requiring my full-time attention.


INTERVIE W: COSTA FOX

I decided to leave Toll to manage the operations at Little Projects during which time we ran a very successful business over the course of the next seven years in essence I learnt a lot but had a lot of enjoyment and fun along the way. DR: What learnings did you take across from your time at Little Projects into your current business, Costa Fox? MF: The key take-away is that it’s never about one individual – it’s always about the team. I think at Little Projects we created a fantastic team, and that’s something I’ve been able to replicate and achieve at Costa Fox too. DR: What’s it like now operating your own business after working with some of the biggest personalities and legendary figures within the property industry in previous roles? MF: Working on establishing Costa Fox in recent times with Robert Costa has been fantastic - he’s somewhat of a quiet achiever, but a very intelligent man who allows the business, and myself, to be varied in our approach. At the moment Costa Fox is involved in a highend residential project, an industrial project, and a strata office building – and this variation is key to our mandate and certainly one of our strengths. DR: So variation is the key to success? MF: In our case, it’s definitely a component. But equal to this is our desire to pursue projects that offer higher quality to where the market is at - I’m reasonably critical of the standards that exist within each sector so I prefer to shoot for above the bar so that we can be proud of the projects we’ve delivered in the years to come. DR: Tell us about your Bower project in Manly - why did you decide to expand into Sydney? MF: It was a unique opportunity to deliver a very highend project in an extremely sought-after area. The site and project just felt right. Location doesn’t really phase

us - we’ll take on sites in New Zealand, further overseas, interstate. It comes down to being the right site and more importantly the right project for the site. DR: What do you think it takes to make it? How do you stay consistent? MF: It’s not easy; you’re only as good as your last project. One bad project can sometimes wipe out three or four good ones. So we’re always trying to find that next project that’s going to be a level above. The real key to success in property development is making money on the way in – but many people don’t understand that concept. It’s hard to buy and hope, you need to make the money, when you’re doing the buying. DR: When you are in acquisition mode, what are the fundamentals you’re looking for? MF: It’s hard to explain, but I get a feeling. It’s not much more than that, but I get a feeling in my gut and realistically, that comes from experience. We were agonising over a site the other day, and I thought to myself that the fact that I’m agonising over it means that we shouldn’t buy it. It’s hard to give a more concrete answer than that – but when you know, you know. DR: Now with over 30 years of experience in the property development space, do you have any other keys to success you can share? MF: I think pride is a big motivator and a useful tool for success. I want to make sure that each project we undertake, that I can drive past and be proud to say “I built that”. The other would definitely be the people along the way. This industry is built on relationships; understanding the importance of that will put you in good stead for the hurdles that are shore to pop up along the way.

SUBURBS WHERE PROPERTY PRICES HAVE... Content Supplied by:

Despite home prices declining in Australia's two biggest cities over the last 18 months, historical data has revealed that median house prices in 111 Australian locations have trebled or better over the past 20 years. Following the surprise re-election of a Coalition government, APRA's proposal to scrap the 7 per cent mortgage serviceability rate required of borrowers and the first rate cut since August 2016, there has been a noticeable change in sentiment in the last month across the property industry and markets. Property vendors during the downturn have been gripped with FONGO (fear of not getting out), moving to offload their properties before prices fell even further, replacing the FOMO (fear of missing out) for buyers that had driven values upwards over the years. Longstanding property owners in some of Australia's toughest property markets, who have been lucky enough to avoid purchasing at the top of a cycle, have potentially experienced continued growth. New analysis from research firm Propertyology has plotted two decades of property price movements with several years of very strong gains staring around 2012 pushing property prices and propelling homeowners in a number of Australian suburbs. Analysts observed more than 180 Australian towns and cities, with a population of 10,000 people or more, over the 20-years ending December 2018. “Whether someone purchased real estate in any of our eight capital cities twenty years ago or in a majority of Australia’s non-capital locations, today it’s worth at least three times what you paid for it,” Propertyology head of research Simon Pressley said. “I don’t know about anyone else, but an average annual capital growth rate of circa six per cent across 20 years sounds damn good to me, especially at a time when Australia’s two largest cities have dropped 10 per cent in value in the past 12 months.”

Median house prices in Sydney two decades ago were among the most expensive in the country at about $220,000. Sydney's median house price is now just under $870,000. “Anyone who bought in a major regional location back then would have paid a fraction of that price and achieved a similar growth rate over the same period,” Pressley said. Analysts found that median house price of 103 regional cities and towns trebled in price over the past 20 years. “The research clearly shows that regional real estate has just as much potential as capital cities, which is why smart investors make an objective assessment of every location in Australia before buying.” According to Propertyology, Australia’s most expensive city to purchase a house is now Byron Bay in northern New South Wales, with its median house price increasing by a whopping 64 per cent over the past five calendar years. A recent nationwide analysis showed the median Byron house price was more than $987,500, putting it ahead of Sydney, at $950,000, while Melbourne ranks sixth at about $772,000. “Generally speaking, locations with a more affordable median house price have more upside potential for capital growth. For that potential to be realised, the real skill is being able to identify the locations with positive leading economic indicators,” Pressley said.

AROUND THE COUNTRY

Melbourne’s suburban sprawl has been given an affirmative nudge after Goldfields snapped up a strategic site in the outer south-east. A Grossi-family owned 71-hectare farm property in Clyde North has been picked up the development group for a speculated price between $105 and $110 million. It is believed that marketing of the property will commence in 2020. A local investor overcame strong competition to secure a Chinatown building (22-26 Corrs Lane) at auction for $6.85 million. The vendor previously purchased the property in 2005 for $2.5 million. In Melbourne’s unofficial second high-rise CBD, Box Hill, a group of strata unit owners has joined forces to sell their assets in one line to a Chinese developer for just over $14 million. The Kew Corporate Centre, physically located in Kew East, sold for a speculated $21 million + less than six weeks after it was initially listed. The campaign garnered 225 enquiries, 32 inspections and nine offers. Melbourne-based design agency Grenade founder, Ben Buxton, achieved a successful auction result; reaching $3.13 million for his double-storey Prahran factory-office conversion. While Melbourne-based property group Cadence found their new headquarters, purchasing an office/warehouse with future development potential in Hawthorn East for $6.5 million. A 4,649sqm office/warehouse in Melbourne's eastern suburb Scoresby, has been offloaded for $7.35 million, after it was initially put on the market for a lease. NEW SOUTH WALES The country’s largest retail landlord, Scentre, has offloaded its office towers above Westfield Sydney to US private equity giant Blackstone in what is being noted as the largest property deal for the year. The $1.52 billion deal sees the offices at 100 Market Street and 77 and 85 Castlereagh Street, acquired by Blackstone by way of a 299-year leasehold interest in the properties. A vacant three-storey building in Sydney’s CBD has traded hands for $16 million. Shanghai-based property player Dahua Group previously purchased 25 King

Street for $4.6 million in 2009 and has spent $7.4 million in renovations. The property has been vacant for the past eight years. The buyer will remain anonymous at this stage; however it is believed to be a local high net worth individual. A 631sqm site encompassing a three-storey building in Parramatta’s George Street has been sold off by Sydney developer Charbel Demian, for more than $9 million. Demand has been rising for assets of this class and location. The Zenith Centre in Sydney’s northern Chatswood precinct has attracted the attention of US heavyweight Starwood Capital and Sydney-based Arrow Capital Partners, who recently purchased the office tower for a whopping $438 million. The twin tower complex was last sold in 2016 to Centuria Capital and BlackRock for $279 million. This considerable sale follows a trend of recent big-hitters making high sale price waves for office towers in the suburbs. QUEENSLAND Dexus Australian Logistics Trust (DALT) purchased a large industrial infill development site in the heart of Richlands from fund manager Heathley Asset Management Limited, in an off-market transaction worth $26.5 million. The West Gosford Shopping Centre, an established neighbourhood centre, has recently traded hands from ISPT/Coles to private investor Mintus for $23 million. The former Fairfax Media print site at 58-68 Delancey Street in Ormiston has sold to a developer associated with SS Signs for $7.425 million. A telephone exchange building at 280 Elizabeth Street in Brisbane’s centre, has traded hands between Telstra and Singaporean group Firmus Capital for $57 million. The massive 1,670sqm parcel of CBD land remains fully tenanted by Telstra and was sold with a seven-year lease-back to the telecommunications firm. CW Corp have fought off strong competition to acquire a development approved site in St Lucia for $4.38 million. The campaign attracted over 170 enquiries demonstrating the rising demand for high-end boutique residential projects in Brisbane’s inner-west.

Accord Property, an Adelaide-based developer and funds manager, has acquired a former car dealership on Valley View’s North East Road for $6.6 million. CBRE selling agent Harry Einarson noted that “the transaction paves the way for a new mixed-use development incorporating childcare, retail and fuel.” The top floor of the Aurora tower on Adelaide’s Pirie Street has been picked up by a local business owner for close to $1 million. Suite 1203, at 147 Pirie Street, features premium building amenities, including a shared roof top, function areas, pool facilities, and two car bays which will return an additional circa $850 net per month. Two Torrens Title properties at 156 &158 Sturt Street in central Adelaide have sold for a little over $1 million. Sold with vacant possession these previously residential properties are part of local focus to develop non-residential activity in the area to serve the needs of the local community.

The Globe Backpackers and City Oasis Resort Hostel, situated at 553-561 Wellington Street in Perth’s CBD has sold to a Perth developer for $8.65 million. The site was sold with development approval for a $38 million student accommodation project. The approved plans include designs by architectural firm MJA Studio for a 39-storey student accommodation tower, which will preserve the existing late 1800s exteriors on Wellington and Queen streets. A major land sale has transacted in Forrestfield for $9 million, as demand for industrial property assets in Perth’s core suburbs regains momentum. The 3.1-hectare site at 17-21 Ashby Close will accommodate the new workshop and transport yard of local owner-occupier, Bruce Rock Engineering. Supermarket giant Woolworths has secured the former Princess Margaret Hospital car park in Subiaco for an impressive $12.4 million. The asset proved a highly sought-after development opportunity and was touted as Perth’s largest infill development site.

Suburb Report: Kensington Nestled in Melbourne’s inner-north-east, Kensington defies its CBD proximity with a laid-back atmosphere and understated charm. Regarded widely for its ‘village’ feel, the streets are decorated with diverse styles of architecture and pockets of neighbourly cafés and eateries. Green spaces are easily stumbled upon, and with the Maribyrnong providing a border to the west and the Moonee Pond Creek to the east, residents can enjoy a number of pleasant bike trails. For many reasons, Kensington is a quiet achiever – demand is high, openings are quickly filled and opportunities are continuing to reveal themselves.

CULTURE

SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS

Kensington’s diversity in architecture – which can range from terrace, to semi-detached, to unit, to public, to warehouse – is also reflected in many other aspects of the neighbourhood. Multiple art spaces play host to exhibitions and alternative plays, Laksa King draws cross-town trippers eager to slurp on some of the city’s most prized South-East Asian cuisine, while the leafy streets and historic train station add a dispersion of Victorian charm. It’s an assemblage that works; balancing wholesomeness with a suitable amount of edge.

Riverside Place: With views over the Maribyrnong River, this luxury apartment complex is offering stylish, industrial inspired spaces in a quiet, western pocket of Kensington. Project led by BC Hobson and with architectural designs by Nordon Jago, Riverside Place will present 182 individual residences across a sprawling mid-rise complex. Over 200 car spaces have been included as well as space for a café and two commercial tenancies on the ground floor. There is also a rooftop garden offering views across the river and towards the CBD. Lt Hardiman Lofts: A mid-rise residential development on Macaulay Road, Lt Hardiman Lofts is offering New York style apartments with the heritage of Kensington. The unique designs have been crafted by Pitch Architecture and Developments, with Naser Group leading the project’s development. Currently in the registration and sales phase, the project comprises of a mix of two and three bedroom townhouses, apartments and sky lofts, making up a total of 55 residences. Space for 103 cars is accounted for, along with 55 bicycles spots. The building will rise six storeys high.

RESIDENTS PRICE The ABS estimated residential population for Kensington in 2019 is 11,935 (a 22.8% jump from the 2011 census). This number is expected to almost double by 2041. Keeping up with demand for this highly-desirable village community, the streets have bared witness to an evolution in dwelling structure. The number of separate/detached homes has decreased from 1,161 in 2011, to 624 in 2016, making way for town homes and apartments. New life has also been breathed into the area’s industrialised properties, with both residential and commercial outcomes.

→ Riverside Place. Image: BC Hobson

Houses: Thanks largely to a seemingly never-ending residential demand, Kensington has enjoyed a steady growth in Median House Prices over the past three years. Currently at $968,500, slightly down from a peak of $1.032 million March of 2018, Kensington is still arguably very ‘affordable’ despite its CBD proximity and lifestyle amenity. Weekly median advertised rent is $550. Units: Over the previous three years, the median unit price has remained steady and currently rests at $498,000. Though with the increase in unit supply over the years, the rental market remains strong – renters make up over 50% of residents and the occupancy rate is extremely high at around 99%. Weekly median advertised rent is $430.

In less than 5 years, Melburnians will be able to book and share a 10-minute trip from the CBD to Melbourne airport courtesy of Uber Air’s flying car fleet.

The ridesharing giant has announced that Melbourne has been selected as the third official pilot city, joining Dallas and Los Angeles as test cities for the Uber Air program. The prototype – not quite a helicopter or a plane – is set to become a familiar site in Melbourne from next year as the company launches test flights from next year ahead of commercial operations from 2023. Uber cited the Victorian government’s forward-looking approach and Australia’s “wholehearted” embrace of the ridesharing app as reasons for its choice. Melbourne was chosen over shortlisted cities Paris, Sao Paolo, Mumbai, Tokyo and Sydney after an 18-month selection process. While it all sounds a little futuristic, Uber’s plans are concrete: the company has announced partnerships with Macquarie, Telstra, Scentre Group and the Melbourne Airport to fast track the infrastructure and aviation network required to run Uber Air. “The future of transport is coming to Melbourne and we’re ready to make it happen,” Victorian treasurer Tim Pallas said on Wednesday. Clem Newton-Brown, director of Skyportz – a start-up aimed at establishing landing infrastructure for eVTOLS (vertical takeoff and landing aircraft) – said it was still unclear what the infrastructure requirements will be. “It is expected that initially existing airports and helipads will be the focus. “The technology is not what will be what holds it up – regulation, social license and the necessary infrastructure will hold it up.” Dr Chris De Gruyter, a vice-chancellor’s research fellow in the Centre for Urban Research at RMIT, says the big question is what kind of trips Uber Air Melbourne will actually be used for. “Based on what travel survey data tells us, we might see skyports at key activity centres and employment hubs like the airport, Melbourne CBD and other key precincts like Clayton or Dandenong. “But Uber Air isn't going to help with managing our urban transport problems. These vehicles are very low capacity – similar to what a car could carry – while there are also questions about if these vehicles will create visual clutter in the sky and how environmentally-friendly they are. “Another risk is ‘empty running’, where there are no passengers, but the vehicle has to travel to pick people up from another location.”

Scentre Group will lead the infrastructure charge for Uber in Melbourne – lending their Westfield centres to the air mobility market cause. “The strategic locations of our Westfield centres [are] regarded as integral social infrastructure because of their close proximity to customers, communities and transport hubs,” Scentre chief strategy officer Cynthia Whelan said. Uber’s ambitious eVTOL (pronounced vee-tol) plans were first unveiled in 2016, with the company announcing it was on the hunt for a third test city last year. Research and development in the urban air mobility market is fast-moving, with giants like Boeing and Airbus competing alongside start-ups like Munich-based Lilium and Chinese operator eHang. Uber says Uber Air will help alleviate congestion that it estimates costs Australia $16.5 billion annually, which is forecast to increase to $30 billion by 2030. “As major cities grow, the heavy reliance on private car ownership will not be sustainable,” Uber Elevate global head Eric Allison said. “Uber Air holds enormous potential to help reduce road congestion.” At the very least, Uber’s announcement means Melburnians are a step closer to travelling by drone, says RMIT aerospace engineer Dr Matthew Marino. “Allowing a computer to fly an aircraft, rather than a human, is nothing new,” Marino said. “Technology has progressed so much that aerial autonomy is considered safe and reliable, arguably more so than driverless cars. “The biggest hurdle to drones carrying people is safety. We need to prove to people that this technology can be as safe as helicopters, which regularly fly in our cities.”

IS NOW THE TIME TO BUY A DEVELOPMENT SITE? By Julian White, CBRE Melbourne.

Amidst the backdrop of a stagnating residential and offthe-plan sales market coupled with political and lending uncertainty, transactions in the development site market have reduced significantly. However, a closer look at the market fundamentals and key drives of the development process, create a highly compelling argument that it is an excellent time to be buying a development site. The relationship between population growth, residential vacancy and interest rates against new supply strongly suggest that there is and will be a major supply gap in the market. The lack of residential supply has led to consistent downward pressure on residential vacancy. Residential vacancy across metropolitan Melbourne is at record low levels of 1.8% (identified in the graph below), which has allowed for residential rental prices to grow by 7% year on year.

Further investigation into total dwelling approvals provide a damming story around the state of supply. In May 2019 approvals were the lowest on record since mid2013, some six (6) years ago.

Whilst approvals have been bottoming out to 2013 levels, the population of Australia certainly has not. As highlighted in the graph below, the country is anticipated to have grown by over 2,000,000 people within this timeframe. This would indicated that there would be strong demand for new housing which in theory would create more competition and drive house prices. However, the irony is that the residential prices have been going backwards. Demonstrated in the graph overleaf, the median house price of Melbourne has been declining since late 2017. The combination of this with the intense finance regulation that has stifled lending to developers, has translated to the decline in development activity. The fact that there has been consistent population growth, but a major reduction in supply, would suggest that the market should be ripe with transactional activity, but it is not, as a result of strict funding requirements. This is a perfect storm for developers who have a strong capital base to be in acquisition mode. Given the fact the process from acquisition to construction completion typically takes 2-3 years, the window for opportunity to capitalise on the inevitable uplift of the residential turnaround before the heat comes back into the market, is now.

This movement in median house price decline when compared to total dwelling unit approvals provides a stark contrast. Over the past year and half supply across Australia have been on a consistent downwards trend.

Suburb Report: Maroubra 10km south-east of the Sydney CBD, Maroubra offers residents one of the best urban-coastal lifestyles in the country. This highly desirable and hedonistic community enjoys being outdoors; you’d be forgiven for not realising that most work in offices in the city. Apart from the appeal of the beach, and the CBD proximity, Maroubra has multiple parks, winding streets and a growing number of vibrant hospitality jaunts. This is a coastal town on the move. RESIDENTS The ABS estimated population for Maroubra for June 2018 was 33,139; an increase of 12% from the 2011 Census. While the median age sits around 37, there is not a dominating age bracket and a quick stroll around the neighbourhood allows one to ascertain why. Families (of all ages), singles, retirees, young adults – Maroubra is an assemblage of a wide variety of ages and backgrounds. Demand for Maroubra has been on the rise since early 2017. According to Real Estate Investar, Maroubra recorded a vacancy rate of 1.9% leading up to the end of 2017 – the market responded with a welcomed increase in dwelling stock (predominantly in the form of units).

CULTURE

SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS

‘Fun in the sun’ could almost be the mantra of this eastern beach municipality. The beach is where a lot of the action is, but crowds are less of an issue than oft-found at the northern neighbours (Coogee to Bondi). Strong retail amenity can be found at Pacific Square and Dudley’s Emporium and several local schools (private, public and religious) also service the community. While Maroubra did develop a somewhat negative reputation regarding youth and public housing over the previous two decades, significant efforts have been made to rectify these issues. The increased residential demand is in part a direct result of this shift, but as well as this the neighbourhood has seen a spate of new flourishing cafés continue and an overall air of positivity decreed by locals.

Maison 188: Currently under construction, Maison 188 is a twin towered luxury residential project spearheaded by Aoyuan International; Marchese Partners have been enlisted for architectural designs and TQM for the build. The plans encompass seven storeys plus a rooftop, with 65 residences dispersed throughout the levels. The rooftops offer gardens and barbeque entertainment area and many of the apartments are complemented with ocean views. 181-191 Maroubra Road, Maroubra: Maroubra fringe mixed-use project is currently in the planning assessment phase with Welcome Homes leading the project and Sgammotta Architects supplying the designs. Plans indicate the demolition of the existing single and two storey commercial premises to make way for a mixed development comprising of commercial on the ground floor and 65 units over 6 and 7 levels with 3 levels of basement car parking.

PRICE Houses: Median house prices in Maroubra have enjoyed reasonable stability, albeit peaking in November 2017 at $2.1 million. Currently (June 2019) the median house price is $1.805 million. Much of this has to do with the high demand experienced in 2017 and the responsive supply that followed. Weekly median advertised rent is $900. Units: A similar story can be told regarding median apartment prices, which now currently sits at $825,000 (June 2019) after experiencing a peak of $920,000 in November 2017. Weekly median advertised rent is $600.

With the federal election done and APRA’s recent announcement ushering in less restrictive lending guidelines, consumer sentiment seems to be picking up in the market.

← Image: The Urban Developer

Corelogic auction preliminary figures show a rise in Sydney’s clearance rates at 69.9 per cent. While Australia’s preliminary combined capitals clearance rate jumped to 62.6 per cent, a notable improvement on the 57 per cent level recorded only one week earlier, and the highest preliminary clearance rate since April 2018. But while Sydney’s residential market may be off the radar for many, Buyers Domain principal Nick Viner has his pick of suburbs to watch out for when the market turns. “The facts are that certain fundamentals ensure some suburbs react before others when prices begin rising again,” he said. In his search, Viner restricted the selection to suburbs within a 10-kilometre radius of the CBD, taking in price growth drivers such as infrastructure and proximity to amenities. “Near-city suburbs are, historically, the most reactive when prices turn around,” he said. The suburbs? Glebe, Redfern, Land Cove, North Bondi and Leichardt. Located in Rozelle Bay, Viner says Glebe has recorded a price drop of around 17 per cent in the past year. “To reflect a median of around $1.6 million, so it’s well below its peak.” Redfern, which has a median price of $1.39 million, has seen property values drop around 16.8 per cent over the past 12 month period. “The upside is this – new infrastructure is enhancing Redfern’s appeal. As confidence returns to the market, it will definitely be one to watch as among the first for value increases,” Viner said. Lane Cove, located on the Lower North Shore sits roughly seven kilometres from Sydney CBD. Property prices have recorded declines of 16.6 per cent with the

suburb now sitting around the $1.8 million median price mark. “The pressure among Lower North Shore families looking for good homes close to schools, shops and transport is simply too great for them to ignore Lane Cove as an option when the market turns.” North Bondi’s median property price recorded some of the biggest declines for the eastern suburbs, around 16.4 per cent over the year. But it’s still well placed with a median price of $2.533 million. “It’s still fairly steep for the average buyer, but signs show it’ll be among the first suburbs in Sydney to move. Stock and prices have tightened considerably since last year – even in recent months,” Viner said. And at five kilometres from the CBD, Leichhardt with a $1.28 million median property price is on the affordable end for suburbs with proximity to Sydney. “Leichhardt’s property prices fell by around 15.8 per cent in the last year,” Viner said. “Stock levels have tightened up considerably since last year, particularly in the ultra-competitive sub-$1.5 million price bracket, which is a popular budget among first home buyers, small families and down-sizers.”

Suburb Report: Palm Beach Taking designation between Currumbin and Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach is a laid-back Gold Coast suburb where each day reportedly feels like a summer holiday. With a long stretch of Pacific Ocean coastline to the east, winding river borders to the north and south, and a series of canals flowing through its centre, it’s easy to say that water plays a significant part of the day-to-day activities for residents. A growing number of hip cafés and eateries, as well as its proximity to significant GC amenity, round off just a few of the many reasons Palm Beach is so dearly loved by so many.

CULTURE

Residents consistently agree that the best thing about Palm Beach is its proximity to needs and desires. Palm Beach is a far cry from the bright lights and night life of Surfers Paradise, and the locals want to keep it that way – it’s even earned the title of Queensland’s Cleanest Beach over two consecutive years. New, trendy cafés and bars continue to open, but also there’s a strong choice of schools, supermarkets, shopping complexes, hospitals and health support. With a series of high profile developers RESIDENTS moving to snap up prime real estate in the pristine coastal suburb, and the abundance According to Census data, Palm Beach saw of home parcels springing up for sale, Palm a steady 5% growth in population between Beach is ready to enjoy its (developers) time 2011 and 2016.

BRISBANE GETS 42 INNER CITY PARK HA

Content Supplied by:

↘ Image: The Urban Developer

A 45-hectare golf course in the heart of Brisbane will be transformed into the city’s largest public park in over 50 years, set to rival the likes of Central Park in New York City and Hyde Park in London. The Victoria Park Golf Course in the inner Brisbane suburb of Herston is to be closed and reshaped as part of Brisbane Council’s Victoria Park Vision to become Brisbane’s second biggest park behind the 52-hectare Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens. The golf course site, entirely owned by Brisbane Council, has seen patronage numbers decrease by 16 per cent over the past eight years, prompting calls for a new area of urban open space. “We’re turning Victoria Park Golf Course into the biggest park we’ve seen in 50 years, more than double the size of City Botanic Gardens in the CBD,” lord mayor Adrian Schrinner said. “The Victoria Park Vision will double the size of the existing park and deliver a green link that boosts the connectivity of the city fringe, including Kelvin Grove, Herston, Bowen Hills and the Brisbane Showgrounds.” “When you think of some of great parklands across the globe, Central Park in New York City, Lumphini Park in Bangkok and Hyde Park in London come to mind for

their hundreds of trees, free attractions and for offering people a green sanctuary within a busy capital city.” Brisbane council will allocate $1 million to the project in the upcoming budget and will begin work on the project in 2021, when the existing golf course will be permanently closed following a two-year transition period. Schrinner said the council would consider a range of opportunities for the new area of urban open space, including pop-up cinemas, markets and play areas for all ages. Council has committed to work with the current tenants to ensure the popular driving range, putt-putt course, wedding venue and function centre are part of the new parkland. “Council will involve the community in every step of this planning process and will hold forums and public consultation as well as engage experts to create the best design for this green space,” Schrinner said. Work is also under way to improve access to the park, where car parking is available while both lines of the high-frequency Brisbane Metro will transport passengers directly to the parkland using the future Herston and Kelvin Grove stations.

Suburb Report: Walkerville Situated just 4km north-east of the Adelaide CBD, Walkerville is an evolving neighbourhood with an endearing aesthetic and convivial atmosphere. Its reputation as a highly sought-after residential destination stems from the bounty of character homes and its proximity to quality schooling such as St Andrews School, St Peters College and Wilderness College. With impressive lifestyle amenity at its fingertips plus large blocks of residential land, it’s easy to understand why astute developers and investors are adding Walkerville to their search preferences list.

CULTURE

The architecture of the neighbourhood is stunning and should not be understated in its contribution to the overall appeal. A large selection of sandstone and bluestone villas are nestled next to small cottages and new contemporary family homes. Tree lined streets mark out a decidedly spacious community, where large lots are easily found up to around 2,000sqm in size. The ever-popular River Torrens draws a boundary to the south-east, with well-enjoyed bike trails leading directly into Linear RESIDENTS Park. There is also fantastic retail therapy to be found at the somewhat recent addition Between the 2011 and 2016 censuses, the of the Walkerville Terrace Shopping Centre. residential population of Walkerville rose by While transport is made easy through the acover 14% to reach 2,687.

Units: While unit prices have not experienced the same gusto as ‘houses’, they have still achieved a growth of 9.6% over the previous three years.

Flinders University has unveiled a $1.5 billion plan to build Adelaide's largest health and education precinct at its Bedford Park campus. The university is leveraging investor interest in the new Flinders Station to attract private capital for the development which will include a health research facility, health accommodation, a hotel and retail outlets. The development could potentially bring 5,000 extra international students to Adelaide, boost annual education exports by $99 million and would create more than 10,000 construction jobs. The first stage of the project will be a health research building with a focus on mental health, infectious disease and personalised health delivery. In addition to furthering health services and research, a new urban centre with accommodation and retail amenities will connect Bedford Park and Tonsley campuses as well as adjacent hospitals and surrounding suburbs. The University also plans to increase the number of student residential spaces to accommodate 3,000 new beds for students looking to live on campus. The university is known for its focus on integrated health being the first medical school in the nation to be integrated into a public hospital. “We’re at the core of a health and education precinct that includes the state’s busiest hospital, educates the majority of the state’s medical workforce and contributes a substantial proportion of the State’s biomedical research,” Flinders University vice-chancellor Colin Stirling said. In addition to its own investments the University will invite public and private partners to develop Flinders Village and its research, education and employment precincts. “Flinders has a strong focus on sustainability, and designers will be challenged to incorporate world’s

63

best practice thinking into their proposals,” Stirling said. “We will run an open process to identify development partners and future tenants, and work with our communities to create a vibrant urban environment which meets their needs now and into the future. The university will work with partners, hospitals and government to integrate the new rail line and other public transport, existing and emerging, into the future development. The university development will aim be shovel ready by next year coinciding with the Darlington Upgrade Project, upgrading 3.3 kilometres of the existing Main South Road as part of Adelaide's North-South Corridor and the Flinders Link rail construction due for completion in 2020. Transitional accommodation, hotel facilities and retail will be progressively completed between 2022 and 2030.

Suburb Report: Burswood Burswood is an energetic inner-city suburb of Perth with a famously developing entertainment area. The appeal of the precinct can be experienced through its abundance of recreational facilities; inclusive of the Crown Perth complex which features upscale boutiques, fine dining, casino gaming, and live comedy and theatre. Stunning parklands that back onto the winding Swan River add further charm, helping to assert this neighbourhood as one the western capital’s hottest spots. RESIDENTS Burswood has achieved a strong population growth of 15.3%, between the ABS Census dates in 2011 and 2016. Interestingly the median age fell by two years to 36 within the same period (the median age for WA is 36, for AUS it’s 38). With its proximity to the city, the suburb attracts a mix of working professionals and affiliates/employees of the casino complex. Multiple high rise apartment buildings offer spectacular views across the city, with apartment living being the most common dwelling structure accounting for around 60%. Over 80% of dwellings in Burswood consist of either two or three bedrooms.

CULTURE

SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS

As well as being home to the Crown Perth casino and hotel complex, Burswood also presents the State Tennis Centre and Belmont Park Racecourse for attraction. In 2018 the new Perth Stadium opened, able to supply 60,000 seats for a range of sporting and entertainment events. There are many walking and cycling trails to be enjoyed throughout the day, while also offering a thriving nightlife where classic Aussie pubs mix it next to stylish martini bars.

PROBUILD TO DELIVER CURTIN UNI 'MINI CITY' Content Supplied by:

↘ Image: The Urban Developer

Curtin University will ramp up development plans on its $300 million mixed-use project, in conjunction with a consortium led by InfraRed Capital Partners, appointing construction company Probuild to deliver the project. Called the New Exchange Precinct, which has a 24 month construction program, the development will comprise two student accommodation buildings offering 1,000 new student beds and a third building housing 38 apartments and 60 hotel rooms at its Bentley campus in Perth. The buildings will sit amid a mixed-use precinct of retail, commercial and recreational spaces with a combined gross floor area of 57,400 square metres. The development forms part of Curtin University’s new Exchange precinct, a mixed-use development hub. Tier-one construction company Probuild will deliver the Greater Curtin Stage One Student Accommodation project. Probuild WA managing director Sam Delmenico said it was Probuild’s second construction project on Curtin University’s Perth Campus, and follows on from the builder’s work on the $200 million Victoria University Tower in Melbourne, as well as the ECI contract for the $70 million refurbishment to Curtin University’s Library.

Probuild’s pipeline currently includes Far East Consortium’s The Towers and Ritz Carlton at Elizabeth Quay in Perth, Cbus Property’s 443 Queen Street in Brisbane, UEM Sunrise’s Aurora Melbourne Central and Greenland Australia’s Greenland Centre in Sydney. Curtin University vice-chancellor professor Deborah Terry said the Exchange was designed to transform Curtin’s main Perth campus into a major innovation hub. “Where research, industry and the wider community will be able to come together to drive real-world solutions to tomorrow’s challenges in one convenient location,” professor Terry said. “The new development will target a 5-Star Green Star Design and As Built which includes water recycling, energy minimisation initiatives and is situated close to Curtin’s bus interchange.” Construction will commence in the next few months with a completion date slated for 2021.

WHAT CAN THE PROPERTY INDUSTRY LEARN FROM MORRISON’S ‘MIRACLE’? Author: Adam Di Marco

Prime Minister Scott Morrison's election victory, described by the evangelist-PM as a “miracle”, offers many lessons in business and people for Australia’s property industry. Politics aside, it was a result that continues a global trend of political upsets. From Brexit to Trump, politics in the modern age is a wild, unpredictable beast. For Australia's property industry, which is the biggest employer in the country and the largest contributor to our economy, volatility is our kryptonite. The prospect of Labor's ambitious housing reform agenda, built on the winding back of negative gearing benefits, is now over. It then comes as no surprise that the “business as usual” result has been warmly welcomed by the industry. Regardless of your own views on the matter, the result was a clear rejection of social redistribution from middle Australia. So what does this tell us about the nature of people and what can Australia's property industry learn from these historic events?

More importantly, I just don't know how reliable people are with polls. Maybe it's just me, but I'm either too busy or distracted to answer the calls, attend a focus group or respond to an online poll. Either way, they've been more wrong than they are right. In a quote, Donald Rumsfeld famously referred to things you can't see or are simply unaware of as 'unknown unknowns'. My sense about polls is that we just cannot count what we cannot see. Having a gut feel for what's happening on the ground – or “the zeitgeist” – is so often overlooked. I believe this applies to property in a big way. Data and research is everywhere now, however one's ability to observe and feel the human mood is something we will forever struggle to accurately measure. There will never be a substitute for being authentically connected with your community.

OPINION POLLS & BOOKIES CANNOT BE TRUSTED

Whether it is someone's principal place of residence, investment property, retirement income or superannuation, the prospect of redistributing wealth from middle Australia is fraught with immense danger. This poses a big challenge for meaningful reform into the future. Perhaps ambitious policy agendas are best enacted from government, rather than opposition. History has told us several times that Aussie Joe prefers evolution over revolution. From a property perspective, this helps frame the importance of the family home as a centrepiece of the wealth effect. The average Australian is probably smarter than most give them credit for and inherently more conservative about their propensity to move and make new investment decisions.

There is now simply no disputing that opinion polls cannot be trusted. More surprisingly, the bookies – who usually have superior form compared with the polls – are just as fallible. How did they get it so wrong? At The Urban Developer, we conduct an annual audience survey which generates us close to 1,000 responses. For a publication with more than 40,000 daily subscribers, this is about 2.5 per cent of our audience. A quick Google reveals that Newspoll surveys (for example, this one conducted in mid-2018), surveyed only 1,728 people! I'm no statistician, but that doesn't fill me with confidence!

CLIMATE CHANGE IS IMPORTANT BUT NOT EVERYTHING On one hand, the planet is confronted with an existential climate crisis, while on the other, Aussie Jane is trying to pay her mortgage. The activist left and the denialist right certainly make a lot of noise, to the extent that there is very little oxygen left for the rest of us. Our planet is at a crossroads – there is no denying that. However when push comes to shove, Australians are not willing to sacrifice their own jobs or welfare in pursuit of radical reform on the climate. My takeaway from this is that our response to climate change needs to be holistic. Policy leaders need to embrace solutions that deliver superior environmental, economic and social outcomes all at the same time. AUSTRALIA IS AN INCREDIBLY DIVERSE LAND Wow – understatement of the year, Adam. I believe that the rapid development of our cities since the GFC has created a two-tiered country of mega-cities and regions. Our cities are seriously big when compared to other comparable nations, particularly when you look through the lens of their size in proportion to the total population. Sydney and Melbourne are some of the biggest

79

capitals in the world when measured up like this. This contrast presents radically different needs and perspectives, and this was definitely evidenced in the election result. Our regions are hurting and the cities are thriving. How we respond from a public policy perspective is one of the biggest social challenges confronting the Morrison government. AND THE FINAL WORD... All in all, "ScoMo's Miracle" is a welcome result for the property industry by virtue of the certainty it provides for us. At the end of the day, that's all our industry asks for. However, our government is responsible for only part of the solution. With certainty now delivered, it is our responsibility as an industry to step up and build upon this. We need to double down on the investment and innovation that has characterised the industry since the GFC - in spite of the churn and upheaval in Canberra. We have endured a forgettable period and look forward to something more promising.
