Brendon Goddard sells Richmond townhouse site
Weekend auction sales included a 410 sqm Richmond warehouse style development site at $2 million.
The former 1910 stables were offloaded by a syndicate that included Essendon captain Brendon Goddard, creative designer Jayden Zernich and Jennifer Brookes.
The 19-21 Farmer Street premises (above) dated back to the days of John Wren's Richmond trotting racecourse which operated until the mid-1930s.
Goddard and his co-owners secured planning approval for two three bedroom townhouses after they bought the investment property in April 2014 for $1.36 million.
But the Western Bulldogs chief operating officer Michael Quinn couldn't sell his Fitzroy terrace, with the three bedroom home passed in on a $2.2 million vendor bid.
Vader House at 258 Napier St was transformed by award-winning architect Andrew Maynard about five years ago having been bought in 2005 at $618,000.
It is now listed for $2.5 million.
