SUMMER/AUTUMN 2016 

From the 

Editor’s desk 

Plenty of room to move within the Precinct 75 grounds. 

With the 1st quarter of 2016 been and gone and another record breaking quarter for Oxford Agency we are continuing to see strong demand across all 

sectors of the real estate market in Sydney. We have seen a huge increase in off market transactions with purchasers keen to secure property without 

having to compete on the open market and prepared to pay a premium for the privilege. The team celebrated Mardi Gras together this year on the roof 

top of our flagship office which ironically was the old ‘taxi club’ site and we salute our local ANZ bank branch on Oxford Street having transformed its 

retail space in support to identify & personify the 40 year long tradition of the parade and in representation of equality behind the rainbow flag. 

The first quarter has already brought some excellent 

deals and exciting news for Oxford, the team continues 

to grow taking us to stature of over 30 staff members. 

Alongside this growth, one of our most successful 

agents, Shane Blackett has become a partner. 

In this issue we feature the creative & vibrant precinct 

that is 75 Mary Street, St Peters, Oxford has had a long 

standing relationship with the team and will be working 

alongside Precinct 75 this year, leasing numerous highly 

desirable creative spaces. 

Our cover photo showcases the original character of 

the 1.5 hectare site which comprises of 12 character 

buildings featuring over 80 creative suites. Vast and 

diverse and filled with individual flair and sizes varying 

from 80sqm – 740sqm host numerous retailers 

including a microbrewery, winery, florist, hair studio, 

gym, bakery, coffee house, fashion and interior designers. 

The residential property market saw a slow down late 

last year, however February to April 2016 has witness 

some great “off market “ results with limited stock. 

We anticipate the lead up to Spring to be very busy 

especially with RBA’s recent announcement of a further 

reduction of interest rates to an all time low. For those 

who are considering selling we encourage you to take 

advantage of limited supply and strong buyer demand 

resulting in premium prices being achieved. 

We also congratulate Matt Marano’s recent successful 

move from residential property management to 

residential sales. Matt has sold 14 properties, a 

remarkable achievement in just a short period time. 

We look forward to his continuing success. 

The Commercial team hasn’t missed a beat since last 

quarter, remaining busy with impressive deals executed 

Oxford Village, Fashion Spree & Casba. 

Project Marketing have launched a new development in 

Marrickville, Fotheringham Row. Comprising of 7 beautiful 

3 bedroom torrens titled terrace homes. Calacatta 

Apartments Five Dock, Bella Apartments Gladesville, 88 

Blaxland Apartments Ryde are all well underway with 

constructions and some are nearing completion. 

Lastly, we applauded our facilities management team, 

this sector has had the biggest growth over the last 

quarter and it continues to reach new heights and sets a 

benchmark in service excellence.

Sally-Anne McQuillan 0400 203 203 

Michael Marano 0418 226 881 

The French provincial residence, called Touraine, was built in 

2002 and has eight bedrooms, all with luxury spa ensuites as 

well as an indoor fountain and its own huge dance studio. 

Agent Sally-Anne McQuillan from Oxford Agency said the jawdropping 

acreage is expected to sell for around $12 million 

and has already attracted the interest of international sheiks to 

high net-worth individuals. 

“It is like a Beverly Hills mansion and completely out of NSW 

and into somewhere that a celebrity lives,’’ she said “It is a 

commanding residence and the photos don’t show the full 

gravity of the house until you are standing in (it).’’ 

Its grand exterior is matched only by its grand interior. The 

estate includes a stunning in-ground pool, spa, sauna, cabana 

and championship sized tennis court. A water feature, which is 

currently deactivated, cascades down a flight of steps from the 

outdoor terrace over the tiered garden to a beautiful dam. 

Inside the opulent home is an elegant banquet-sized formal 

dining room and adjoining lounge overlooked by a mezzanine 

with a grand piano. There is a theatre room and games room 

with wet bar. 

The luxury master bedroom is its own private retreat with a 

sitting area, detailed ceilings, three balconies, a vast walk-in 

wardrobe and a luxurious ensuite. 

A tartan wall is a distinguishing touch in the custom built 

office, which also has its own log fireplace. The stone 

and timber kitchen has its own cool room and is fitted 

with Gagganau appliances. Spoil yourself in one of the 11 

bathrooms, with spas. 

“The home has really been designed for entertaining — they 

once had a party there for 1000 people which locals still 

talk about and has had some notable experiences,’’ Ms 

McQuillan said. 

“We have just been inundated with the level of inquiry, it has 

just gone crazy.’’ Among those eager buy the property is a 

commercial company keen to turn the home into a respite care 

centre for cosmetic surgery patients. 

Extras include a basement cellar, a CCTV security ¬system and 

triple lock-up garage or simply relax by the resort-style pool.

Owners of a tiny Surry Hills terrace make $60k in 

seven months after it sold for

16/02/16 9:48 PM 

NSW Realestate News 

A TINY 63 sqm terrace in Surry Hills secured $900,000 at auction, $60,000 more than when it last traded just seven months ago. 

October 24, 2015 Erin Forster Real estate reporter. News Corp Australia Network 

Six buyers registered to bid on the bright yellow onebedroom 

home at 7 Little Bloomfield Street, which 

sits tucked away behind bustling Crown Street, with 

an opening bid of $800,000 made within a minute of 

the auction starting. The tiny yellow terrace at 7 Little 

Bloomfield Street, Surry Hills sold for $900,000. A quick 

succession of $10,000 and $20,000 bids followed, 

before slowing in the high $800,000’s. 

The home was eventually snapped up by an investor 

who outbid several young couples to secure the sale. 

He said that while he hadn’t been looking to buy the 

property, after having recently bought on nearby Bourke 

Street, he jumped at the chance when he saw it listed. 

The property last traded in March for $840,000, 

representing a $60,000 capital gain in seven months. 

He plans to use the recently approved DA to add a 

second storey as part of a renovation and rent it out. 

The vendor, Ms Kim, bought the terrace back in March 

for $840,000 and leased it out while getting the DA 

approval, before relisting the property with hopes of 

fetching around $900,000. A crowd of about 30 turned 

up to the auction of the terrace. Her son said that 

although the family was happy with the result, he wasn’t 

as satisfied. 

Oxford Real Estate Darlinghurst selling agent Michael 

Marano said the sale was definitely a reflection of 

the changed market. “I think leading up to Christmas, 

nothing will change,” he said. “(Buyers) always want 

more and it was just a touch under the reserve.” In 

July this year, a run down two-bedroom terrace next 

door sold for $1.05 million. The home had a recently 

approved DA for a second storey.

Feature Restaurant: 

Porteno 

Bodega was opened by chefs Ben Milgate and Elvis 

Abrahanowicz, along with Joseph Valore in August 2006. 

The one room tapas restaurant was quickly successful and 

very soon expanded to take over the café next door. 

The three opened their second restaurant, Porteño, in 

September 2010. Porteño’s design was inspired by the 

Estancias of Argentina and the focus of the restaurant 

is traditional Argentinian BBQ. The restaurant space is 

complimented by a cocktail bar Gardel’s Bar, located 

upstairs from the main dining floor. 

Both restaurants and Gardel’s Bar have been well 

reviewed by both the local and international press and 

public. Their accolades include a consistent placing on the 

Gourmet Traveller national top 50 restaurants lists and the 

awarding of Sydney Morning Herald Chef of the Year for 

Milgate and Abrahanowicz (2013). Other awards include 

SMH, Time Out and Gourmet Traveller for Best New 

Restaurant 2011 and SMH two Chefs Hat 2012, 2013, 2015, 

2016 at Porteno. Bodega has recurrently received SMH 

one Chefs Hat while Gardel’s Bar was awarded Time Out 

Best Bar Food and Design in 2011. 

Since opening Porteño, the group has become more 

involved in catering for larger scale events, both in 

house and externally. In the restaurant Porteño has 

accommodated for private events for over 200 people, 

and outside of the restaurants Porteño has been involved 

with some of the most prestigious festivals in Sydney.

ANZ Reveals This 

Year’s Festive 

Offering In Support 

Of Mardi Gras 

1 of 1 5/03/2016 2:45 pm 

10 years ago ANZ did something very un-bank like when they revealed it’s GAYTMs, 

bright and glittery cash machines around Sydney’s Oxford Street and Darlinghurst area, in 

support of the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. 

In the years that followed, the public have been excited 

to see each year’s offering as the machines have 

become more flamboyant and intricate. 

ANZ revealed that in honour of the 10th anniversary 

of the bank’s Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras 

sponsorship, ANZ will become GAYNZ, with the bank’s 

Oxford Street branch at the heart of the Mardi Gras 

parade route being rebranded as a GAYNZ branch. 

Completely transformed both inside and out, the branch 

appears more like an art gallery or luxury hotel than a 

modern day bank outlet. The fit out is a baroque-inspired 

celebration of LGBTI culture and features two new 

GAYTMs, ornate walls, a marbled floor and 16 unique, 

hand-painted murals inspired by the LGBTI community. 

“It looks like Liberace’s lounge room,” laughed a visitor. 

“Enter through the pink flowery tunnel-like doorway and 

you might feel like you’ve stepped into a palace”. 

This year ANZ will have more people than ever 

participating in the Mardi Gras Parade with 230 staff, 

family and friends set to march. 

Four GAYTMs have also been returned to the George 

Street and Pitt Street branches. ATM operator fees for 

non-ANZ cardholders from GAYTMs will be donated to 

Twenty10 – a not-for-profit organisation working with 

and supporting people of diverse genders, sexes and 

sexualities, their families and communities.

Nine insider tips for upping 

your design game 

JURA KONCIUS 

As you study vignettes on your 

bookmarked design blogs, flip through 

pages of shelter magazines and bingewatch 

home improvement shows, it’s 

hard not to imagine certain design details 

transforming your own home. 

The new year is a good time to scrutinise your four walls and your 

furniture assortment, and make a few changes to enhance your 

living quarters. Design professionals have a lot of tricks that can 

enliven rooms, whether it’s to make the most of a small space or 

add a dimension to a larger one. You can choose to break the 

rules or honour them. But everyone needs a little inspiration. 

“Many people are paralysed when it comes to making changes 

in their home, even small ones,” says Sheila Bridges, a New York 

designer. “People are freaked out by colour. They want to have 

everything look perfect immediately. But decorating is really 

a process. The longer it takes or the more you slow down and 

enjoy that process of building and editing, the better your home 

will evolve. We asked Bridges and other top designers to share a 

best practice with us – ideas they are incorporating into their own 

work right now, as well as those that have stood the test of time. 

Here are their emailed suggestions, suitable for pinning to your 

“Designer Secrets” inspiration board. 

LOOK TO YOUR TRAVELS FOR TEXTURE 

“My design aesthetic has always been intensely personal. As you 

look to update a room you’ve lived in for years, or if you’re starting 

fresh in a new home, begin by curating what you have. I like to bring 

together groupings of well-travelled objects, textiles, decorative 

accessories and furniture … things that represent the people who 

live there. Think hand-woven elements, thick textiles, objects 

that have patina and mix in with beautiful, neutral upholstery and 

furniture. A well-designed room is one that is layered and feels 

assembled over time.” – NATE BERKUS, NEW YORK The designer 

and author launched his TV career on Oprah in 2002. 

CHOOSE A BIG MIRROR FOR BIG IMPACT 

“Whenever presented with a narrow, unadorned space or merely a 

blank wall, remember that a large mirror acts like adding a window 

to a room. This simple trick works because the reflection gives the 

perception of another space beyond, and as you move around, so 

does the view.” – PATRICK SUTTON, BALTIMORE The designer’s 

work can be found in homes, hotels and restaurants, including Azumi 

and Loch Bar. 

THINK BEYOND RECESSED LIGHTS 

“One of my go-to design techniques that I find adds a timeless touch 

to modern interiors is the use of flush-mounted lighting and wallmounted 

sconces in lieu of a sea of recessed ceiling lights, which 

can often feel impersonal.” – THOM FILICIA, NEW YORK The interiors 

expert in the Emmy-winning Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. 

HANG YOUR COLLECTIONS IN A GRID 

“Almost anything becomes interesting when hung in a grid. We 

renovated our office from a grocery store into a storefront design 

firm on a truly shoestring budget, and we hung the mugs in a grid 

pattern. This provides both a tidy way of storing mugs and visual 

interest, at virtually no cost. Children’s rooms are great places 

for this. A child’s hobby, such as tennis, can inspire a fun wall 

covering. We once glued a grid of used tennis balls to a wall in a 

bedroom.” – CARMEL GREET, WASHINGTON The architect and 

designer’s firm is District Design in Washington. 

MAX OUT YOUR SOFA LENGTH 

“My go-to is loooooong sofas. Equally perfect for sprawling and 

napping as holding a gaggle of friends and family for cocktails or 

a buffet. I don’t watch much football, but great for a Super Bowl 

party, too!” – JAMIE DRAKE, NEW YORK The designer for Michael 

Bloomberg and Madonna is the owner of Drake Design Associates. 

BUILD A GALLERY WALL AROUND THE LARGEST PIECE 

“I usually start with the largest piece first; in this case, it is a large, 

antique convex mirror from Paris that I’ve had on my wall for more 

than a decade. The next step is to build around it with both vertical 

and horizontal pieces, small and large, mixing frames and colours 

until you have a composition you like. It’s always a good idea to 

lay everything out on the floor first. Just be careful not to step on – 

SHEILA BRIDGES, NEW YORK The Harlem-based designer for Bill 

Clinton also created the popular Harlem Toile de Jouy wallpaper. 

WALLPAPER THE CEILING 

“One of my favourite ways to combine wallpaper and 

passemanterie is to paper the often-ignored ceiling and finish it 

with a tape trim, which adds such a surprising and luxurious detail. 

In this case, I used a wallpaper in a painted linen texture and 

added a small tape trim with faux nailheads around the edge of 

the ceiling where it meets the crown. Depending on the paper and 

trim that you use, it can be an affordable and easy way to dress up 

your ceiling or walls” – MICHAEL HAMPTON, WASHINGTON The 

designer’s projects include homes across the Washington area as 

well as Santa Fe. 

LINE YOUR BOOKCASES WITH FABRIC 

“Lining the back of your bookcases with wall covering or fabric is 

a wonderful way to add depth, layering and richness to a room. 

This detail is visually unifying and helps bring together a disparate 

collection of objects and books. Also, adding a beautiful lining such 

as a grasscloth or velvet elevates your collection into something 

even more precious.” – JOSE SOLIS BETANCOURT AND PAUL 

SHERRILL, WASHINGTON The pair have been partners in the firm 

Solis Betancourt & Sherrill since 1992 . 

COMPLEMENT THE VIEW WITH PAINT 

“In rooms where the view is paramount, the paint colours should 

blend with the exterior and be an extension of the exterior – in 

effect a seamless transition.” For a beach house interior she 

designed, the “master bedroom has a very light gray blue ceiling 

to look like the sky and water. The wall colour is a warm sand 

colour that is a reflection of the sand on the beach just outside the 

windows. Also, the overall colour palette and fabrics are in unison 

with the view and environment, not in competition.” – ERIN PAIGE 

PITTS, GIBSON ISLAND, MARYLAND., AND DELRAY BEACH, 

FLORIDA. A coastal-design specialist, she has worked on projects 

across the country.

How to travel further on a dwindling dollar 

Over the past decade, a soaring Aussie dollar has made overseas holidays more affordable, more often for thousands of Australians with 

itchy feet, but the times they are a-changin’. 

With our Aussie dollar dropping back into the $US.70 bracket in recent times, that Route 66 road trip, walking holiday 

in Tuscany or summer wandering the Continent has become less of a bargain than once it was. Travellers who don’t 

want to swap Barcelona for Batemans Bay may need to look for ways to trim the tab. Here are some tips. 

CHECK YOUR CARDS 

Most of us rely on credit cards while travelling but high 

currency conversion, cash advance and foreign ATM access 

fees can dent the budget. Shop around before you take off, 

resident money expert at Finder.com.au Michelle Hutchison 

advises. If you face a ruinous fee when you use the ATM, 

then consider making larger withdrawals less frequently 

or teaming up with a partner or friend who enjoys more 

favourable terms. “If you don’t have a credit card which 

waives foreign transaction or withdrawal fees but a travelling 

companion does, then transfer your funds over to them and 

get them to withdraw money for you,” Hutchison says. 

BLOWER BLOW-OUTS 

In today’s hyper-connected world, travelling overseas with 

a mobile phone is the norm but those who don’t sort out 

their roaming arrangements in advance can find themselves 

returning to a beefy bill. Check your phone is unlocked before 

you leave so you can swap your Australian SIM card for a 

local one or get an international prepaid phone card, 

THE SLOW BOAT 

Travel is about the journey not the destination - so why 

not say no to the direct flight and yes to a cheaper, 

multi-stop alternative? Instead of groaning about the 

transit wait, make the most of the opportunity for a ministopover 

or free whistle stop tour of cities that wouldn’t 

otherwise have made it onto your itinerary, Cheapflights 

global communications head Phil Bloomfield suggests. 

CHEAPER DIGS 

Along with airfares, accommodation can be the biggest 

expense on an overseas jaunt. Check out the internet’s 

usual plethora of low cost and last minute hotel options 

or consider making yourself at home in someone else’s 

home, courtesy of Airbnb. Now boasting more rooms 

than major hotel chains, the home-stay site can provide 

a place to call home - temporarily - almost anywhere 

in the world, for a steep discount on the price of an 

equivalent standard hotel.

SOLD 

$7,000,000 

This 406sqm warehouse-style space which housed 

The Tap Gallery sold last month for $7,000,000. 

Anson Kolb & Shane Blackett from Oxford Agency 

facilitated this off market transaction. Sourcing an 

interstate developer “The purchaser wishes to remain 

anonymous but I can confirm that this was not an FIRB 

sale,” said Mr Kolb. 

The site has a 3.5:1 Floor Space Ratio and height of 

building which will allow development up to 12 metres 

in height. The purchaser is looking to develop the site 

into high end luxury apartments.” 

Mr Kolb said there were still plenty of developers 

willing to pay handsomely for sites within a few 

kilometres of the CBD. 

I can’t remember well-located sites in Sydney being in 

hotter demand,” said Mr Kolb. 

Mr Blackett added that the purchasers wish to take 

full advantage of Darlinghurst’s appetite for edgy 

residential architectural spaces.

Renew Leichhardt: Owner property propectus 

Commissioned by the Leichhardt Municipal 

Council, Renew Leichhardt is an affiliated 

program of Renew Australia and has arisen 

from the need to activate spaces in and 

around Leichhardt, Balmain and Rozelle. 

Renew Leichhardt works to revitalise underutilised and 

empty buildings and shopfronts with short and medium 

term uses that will benefit the community. 

Our goal is to provide incubation space for emerging 

artists, entrepreneurs and community groups, 

encourage foot traffic in urban areas and help create 

vibrant cities – both socially and economically. While 

these empty spaces are in transition, 

Renew Leichhardt will find artists, cultural projects and 

community groups to use and maintain these spaces 

(essentially rent free) until they become commercially 

leased or are redeveloped.

Food retailers in Fashion Spree includes Sahara Grill. 

Hokka Hokka, Sushiru, Boost Juice and two local cafes. 

Fashion Spree was the long-time vision of the late Nabll 

Gazal, whose sons and GazCorp directors, Nicholas and 

Nabil, have seen the project through to fruition. 

The opening of Fashion Spree comes more than 10 years 

after a factory oulet centre was initially launched on the 

same site, GazCorp ran a factory outlet on the same site 

from October 2003 until August 2004, in September of 

last year work on renovations that cost in the vicinity of 

$14 million commenced to refresh the site and return it to 

factory outlet centre status. 

‘’A lot of retailers were hesitant to do anything in the 

markets because they thought it might have destroyed 

their name a little bit.’’ Nicholas Gaza! Told inside Retail 

Weekly, which toured fashion Spree a weak before its 

official opening. “We had Glue, who were probably the 

first tenant to sign up. When the markets opened up, they 

did a quarter of a million dollar clearance sale to attract 

customers to the factory outlet.” Nicholas explained 

of the renovation done to transform the building from 

a market hall to a well-presented factory outlet with 

modem finishes. “But the tenants came in and saw it 

evolving and bought into the vision, The quality of the fitout 

has improved. Although it is an outlet, they’ve lifted 

the standard of what they’re offering as well, because of 

what they’re seeing internally happen in terms of the look 

and feel and the environment that’s there.”


PAGE 35 

At Fashion Spree’s grand opening retailers almost last 

out of stock, according to Nicholas Gazal. Nearly 60,000 

people visited the outlet in its first four days of trading 

(Thursday to Sunday). 

Fashion Spree joins Sydney’s two other existing dedicated 

factory outlets, Mirvac’s Birkenhead Point Outlet Centre 

and DFO Homebush at Sydney Olympic Park, 

While Sydney currently has less dedicated factory outlet 

centres than Melbourne does, retail property consultant, 

Michael Baker, said it’s hard to quantify whether there is 

an undersupply or oversupply of factory outlets in Sydney. 

‘’There is certainly a demand for the product, but the 

execution and the brand mix have to be really good;’ 

Baker said, “It’s now becoming common for factory outlet 

centres to be built near traditional shopping centres, 

partly because retailers have increasing evidence that 

people who shop at their outlet stores are likely to spend 

more at their full-price stores as a result. In the case of 

Fashion Spree and Westfield Liverpool, I’m not sure there 

is much, if any, crossover between the brands. So it may 

actually affect Westfield Liverpool adversely, time will tell.” 

Fashion Spree will trade from 10:00am to 6:00pm six days 

a week, and from 10:00am to 7:00pm on Thursdays. 

Broader Plans 

The realisation of Fashion Spree Is the first step in a 

broader, five year plan by GazCorp to build a multipurpose 

retail precinct on the 160,000sqm site which has 

been in the Gazal family since the late 1980s and offers 

great visibility to passing traffic currently on the site 

adjacent to Sleeping Giant and Mayne Rugs & Flooring. 

At around 20 years old, the Megacentre property is 

dated and In need of a facelift. 

GazCorp’s brand plan is to develop the vacant land at 

the rear of the property, relocate the large format retail 

centre there then renovates the existing street-facing 

Megacentre property, which would then be an ideal 

location for a supermarket and discount department 

store, the most likely options being a Coles and a Kmart 

according to Gazal. “We’ve obviously been long term 

investors - we want to be here long term’ Nicholas said. 

“We’ve obviously been heavily involved in planning of 

the centre and have been very open In terms of what 

our vision Is for this site and what we want to achieve. 

We’ve been working closely with the local government. 

It’s been a difficult road at times. You have to convince 

people or the merit of what you’re trying to achieve and 

what it is,” If realised, such a multi purpose retail precinct 

would have few contemporaries in Australia. Gazal 

suggested GazCorp is drawing inspiration from The Base 

in Hamilton, New Zealand, and The Grove ln Los Angeles 

for their plans for the site. 

“To have all of these uses combined into one shopping 

centre is certainly unusual’ Baker said.”But it is done - in 

the US, these kinds of centres are called ‘power towns’ 

and they incorporate a number of different shopping 

formats. They are often part of master-planned mixedused 

developments where there are no pre-existing 

shopping amenities. But even when you don’t have these 

multiple uses within one shopping centre, you often 

have them adjacent or near one another as different 

shopping centres under the same or different ownership. 

The centres complement each other and there is a lot of 

cross shopping that occurs between them.” 

“We see it as complementary and there’s no reason why 

they shouldn’t be able to cross trade with each other.” 

Nabil Jr explained. “On the weekend, you’re going to 

have the kids bowling in AMF. The wife is shopping at 

the outlets and then the husband coming into the bulky 

goods and buying bits, while picking up your groceries 

on the way home. That would be the ideal.

After more than a century, 

Glebe’s secret backyard is being 

unlocked, as the former Harold 

Park Paceway enters a new era. 

Harold Park by Mirvac is creating 

a revived living precinct that 

celebrates the neighbourhood’s 

rich history and opens up the 

foreshore’s parklands – a new and 

vibrant village in the green heart 

of Sydney’s Inner West.


PAGE 37 

Mirvac has recently commenced 

work on the restoration and 

adaptive reuse of the Rozelle 

TRAMSHEDS. Forming one of the 

key elements of the Harold Park 

redevelopment, the TRAMSHEDS 

will be home to a community 

scale supermarket, market food 

halls, boutique retailers, cafes, 

restaurants and a gymnasium as 

well as 500sqm of community 

space dedicated to Council. 

Located on the northern edge of Harold Park, the 

heritage-listed Rozelle Tramsheds now have a much 

brighter future in store. The revived Tramsheds will retain 

their iconic character and their impressive, industrial 

proportions. You’ll see Sydney’s heritage preserved 

in the brick façade and that so often photographed 

sawtooth roof. But beneath the towering glass ceilings 

the changes to the old depot will be state-of-the-art. 

Work has recently commenced on the restoration 

and adaptive reuse of the Tramsheds. Forming one of 

the key elements of the Harold Park redevelopment, 

the Tramsheds will be home to a community scale 

supermarket, market food halls, boutique retailers, 

cafes, restaurants and a gymnasium as well as 500sqm 

of community space dedicated to the City of Sydney 

Council. The flexible food hall will serve as a food court 

through the week and convert to a demonstration or 

cooking school space on demand. There will also be 

encouragement for start-ups to gain a foothold with popup 

stores that focus on seasonality and provenance. 

On completion the Tramsheds will provide a destination 

within the future parklands that we know will become 

a favourite place for the residents of Harold Park, the 

broader inner west community and beyond. A place 

where the community comes together and where 

you can gather everything you need under one roof, 

seeing friends and neighbours along the way. 

Mirvac are committed to a greener way of life, applying 

environmentally responsible design principles across 

all their developments. All Harold Park’s residential 

buildings have been designed to achieve a 6 STAR 

Building Sustainability Index (BASIX) rating. In fact, our 

buildings exceed BASIX requirements by 25%. We 

achieve this by keeping energy use to a minimum with 

efficient lighting and low energy appliances, with homes 

designed to maximise sunlight and cross-flow ventilation. 

Mirvac’s Water Sensitive Urban Design Initiatives 

create innovative reductions in potable water demand. 

Rainwater is harvested from rooftops for use in toilet 

flushing, car wash bays and landscape irrigation. 

Additionally, stormwater retention and filtration systems 

have been incorporated within the streetscape. 

All our apartments exceed BASIX water targets by 

25% and also include 4 star WELS rated taps, toilets 

and showers as well as 4 star dishwashers and clothes 

dryers. 

Mirvac’s social sustainability initiatives provide benefits 

to the wider community while reducing the environmental 

impact. The opening of Harold Park means greater 

accessibility for local residents to public transport, as 

well as improved bicycle and pedestrian access to light 

rail and bus networks and to the surrounding suburbs 

of Forest Lodge, Annandale and Glebe. A vast area of 

public open space has been returned to the community 

creating 38,000 sqm of public parkland.

5 Benefits To Buying Off The Plan 

As A First Time Buyer 

There are some good reasons why you 

may consider buying off the plan. It’s 

possible of course that all of these reasons 

may not apply to your individual situation, 

but nonetheless these are some of the 

major reasons. 

A BETTER PRICE 

We all like to save money. When developers first offer 

their new products to the market they usually start with 

lower prices to encourage a faster sales rate. When 

construction commences, and the developer has met 

their construction finance requirements, prices usually 

rise. Therefore, for investors who commit early to the 

project there is often a good price incentive. 

TAX BENEFITS 

As with all investment property purchases there are 

some significant tax benefits available. These benefits 

are greater when property is newer because there are 

more tax depreciations available. Those benefits are 

greatest when the property is brand new so buying offthe-plan 

maximised your available tax deductions. 

SECURE PROPERTY AT TODAY’S PRICE 

When buying off-the-plan, an investor can secure 

property at today’s price yet often not have to settle for 

up to 18 months or in some cases, even longer. What this 

means is that while you pay a 10% deposit upon signing 

a contract, you don’t have to pay the balance of the 

money until the property is complete. In the meantime, 

especially in a rising market, you can enjoy the benefit of 

any capital growth that occurs on the property. Of course 

if prices were to fall, which has rarely happened in most 

areas of Australia, and certainly not for long periods of 

time, you have to wear that risk. 

Property is a long term investment. Providing you are 

buying with the intention of holding long term, buying 

off-the-plan works well for most investors. 

ABILITY TO SAVE 

If you’re an owner occupier purchasing off-the-plan, you 

instantly have the added advantage of ‘putting things in 

order’ before you move in. Coordinating the sale of an 

existing property can be stressful, but knowing that you 

have some time before your new property is ready 

to occupy provides you with valuable time to plan for 

your move and can reduce your stress considerably. 

CONSIDER THIS… 

• The project may be delayed. 

• Allow for variation in finishes & materials. 

• Expected capital growth can take some time. 

• You can’t physically walk through the property you 

are buying. 

Get yourself into financial order; 

know your financial position, your 

borrowing capacity and the lending 

policies of the bank in relation to 

different property types and locations. 

1 

2 

3

5 

Do your research; don’t buy the first 

property you look at. Understand the 

median apartment prices growth, 

vacancy rates, rents, employment 

statistics and demographics. Get 

to know the area, transportation 

linkages, and current and planned 

infrastructure projects. 

Research the development team, 

who’s going to deliver this project? 

What’s the track record for the builder, 

developer, architect and sales agent? 

Go and visit some of the builder and 

developers recent projects. 

Get proper independent legal advice 

from a specialist property lawyer 

before signing anything. 

Understand the time frames around the 

delivery of the project and the sunset 

dates in the contract of sale. 

Many buy off-the-plan as an 

investment, but purchasing fresh off 

the production line can also offer real 

advantages for first home buyers.

About Oxford Agency 

Established in 1950, the Oxford Agency (Oxford) is 

one of inner Sydney’s oldest and most trusted real 

estate brands. Oxford is a name synonymous with 

integrity, excellence and knowledge amongst clients 

and the real estate fraternity. Delivering exceptional 

results which increase the value of property 

portfolios is at the core of its work. 

Many clients have been with the business since inception and several generations 

of families continue to use the expertise at Oxford. Loyal clients are varied and 

include high net worth individuals, family run businesses and major institutions. 

A gap in the market was identified by Oxford to provide professional counsel 

across the entire property spectrum. The company has since capitalised on 

this opportunity. The highly experienced leadership team offers unsurpassed 

advice in the residential, commercial, asset management, project marketing, 

facilities management and advisory areas. It is the only real estate agency in the 

inner city to offer quality property guidance across this array of sectors in the 

relentless pursuit of service excellence. 

Over a period spanning almost seven decades, the business has transacted 

thousands of property deals worth billions of dollars. A transparent approach 

supported by tailored property solutions is paramount at Oxford. The 

company’s long standing history provides the foundation for a real estate 

agency that clients can trust.
