Middletone Lane - 1 Middleton Lane, South Melbourne

Michael Renzella&rsquo;s long held 1880s boom time Hotel Claremont building in South Yarra has been sold for around $22m to Andy Zhang&#39;s V-Leader group.

It comes with a permit for a $50 million, 12-level, luxury mixed use project.

Emmett's marketed the 189 Toorak Road Hotel Claremont property with $20m plus price expectations. The sale comes soon after the next corner closer to South Yarra station, a row of four Tudor style shops, has been sold with development potential for $13.15 million.

Covering 613 sqm, the 169-175 Toorak Rd property was marketed for its potential for a 10-plus level tower.

The neighbourhood has attracted attention from property developer Oreana, which has reportedly spent $48 million buying the neighbours for a hotel and wellness centre.

The three-storey brick Italianate 81-room Hotel Claremont building with two shops was built in 1886 as the South Yarra Coffee Palace, one of several temperance alcohol-free destinations.

Selling agents Michael Ludski and Luke Bisset took more than 200 enquiries including six formal expressions of interest.

They advised the buyer was likely to undergo a redevelopment along the lines of the approved project.

The permit for the 906 square metre site allows for 57 apartment development of a mixed use building comprising four shops totalling 712 square metres, 1195 square metres of office space, and 30 car parking spaces.&nbsp;

Located on the corner of Claremont Street, the property has an approved DA for construction of a mixed use building with 54 units, 4 retail shops and 5 offices plus basement car parking for 22 vehicles, 53 bicycle parks and 54 storage units.

The hotel last traded at $2,250,000 at auction in 1994.

There are two retail tenancies, Chemist Warehouse and Sirocco.

The tenants are returning a combined annual income of $181,500, with leases having termination clauses.

V-Leader has undertaken more than $440 million of property development including 6 Sydney St, Prahran, 16 apartments in a six-storey building designed by Wood Marsh Architecture.

Construction is due for completion in late 2021 by VCON Construction.

There is a $3.62 million price on the last ground floor, three bedroom, three bathroom apartment with a 187 square metre terrace/courtyard, through V-Leader agent Sam Fisher.

The luxury builder VCON have won the $50 million construction contract of The International, the luxury Brighton apartment project being developed in a joint venture between&nbsp;Landream and V-Leader.&nbsp;

But the construction contract has come with a caveat.

The $120 million project of 58&nbsp;apartments, designed by architecture and interior design firm Carr on the popular Bay Street, will only be built by trades and contractors from the local area, in a bid to stimulate employment in the Victorian employment sector.

Construction, which will begin this month, is set to generate over 500 local jobs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=26389]

Mitch Crawford, senior development manager at Landream, said it was important that an opulent project like The International negate the offshore procurement process, and rather, prioritise local craftsmanship.

&ldquo;This hyper-local approach to the construction delivery was one of the crucial factors that also gave MaxCap, who are providing the loan facility to fund the project&rsquo;s construction, great confidence to back the project,&quot; Crawford said.

&ldquo;The mandate to work exclusively with Australian trades and contractors was met with great enthusiasm by VCON who have worked closely with our design team at Carr in the past.&quot;

The design inspiration for The International came from the luxury Mornington Peninsula hotel Jackalope, also designed by Carr. The wine rooms in particular have been&nbsp;modelled on the vaults seen at Jackalope.

Rob Morton, director at VCON, said the tender process run by Landream and V-Leader for The International was one of the more involved he had participated in.

&ldquo;Landream, V-Leader and VCON together spent eight full weeks meeting and negotiating with key trades and fabricators, to ensure that innovation, attention to detail and quality were values that drive every team that will be contributing to the delivery of The International &ndash; from window detailing to joinery. That level of consideration positions this project to be faultless in its construction.&rdquo;

Two bedroom apartments at The International start from $1,315,000, with three bedrooms priced from $3.24 million.

<h2>Other Landream developments</h2>

Hurstmon, Malvern East

Price: Two bedroom apartment from $795,000.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807]

Landream are developing The Hurstmon, the 39 apartment Malvern East project designed by the well regarded architect Telha Clarke.

Completion is slated for 2022. Read more about Hurstmon <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/vic/design-brief-design-scheme-options-for-hurstmon-malvern-east-apartment-buyers">here</a>.

While the homes vary in scale, the attention to detail remains consistent across all properties. There are strong coastal themes with the use of tactile materials, drawing inspiration from the neighbouring Brighton Beach.
