It started off with two houses to make way for a triplex, but then the neighbours got excited and five homeowners ended up with a surprise windfall totalling $31,750,000. Ist City Projects partner Yaron Foghel was approached by developer DCN Capital to secure a quality new site to make way for the boutique block of three units with views. 'I knew one of the owners at 3 Andrews Ave and he was open to the idea, so he suggested we have a meeting with his neighbour at No.1,' Foghel said. Those homes were attractive because they were north-facing; in a small, quiet cul-de-sac; only a few hundred metres to Totti's Restaurant; and ideally positioned between Bondi and Tamarama beaches.
