Annandale

The private development firm&nbsp;Eranna Development has launched Abbie&#39;s Lane, a new apartment development in Annandale in Sydney&#39;s inner west.

The distinctive five-level building, to be built by Ceerose at 8 McCarthy Lane, will home 42 studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

Abbie&#39;s Lane has been designed by PBD Architects, whose primary target was to create an &#39;outside-in&#39; approach and village feel for residents, achieved by the inclusion of Abbie&#39;s Lawn, a landscaped courtyard that sits in between the built form.

There&#39;s further outdoor green space crowning the building. Abbie&#39;s Rooftop will act as a community hub for residents, and feature&nbsp;barbecue facilities for&nbsp;exclusive resident use. Ground floor retail can also be found at Abbie&rsquo;s Lane &ndash; bringing a sense of vibrancy to the street level.

Edward Doueihi, Managing Director of Ceerose, said careful consideration of the historical streetscape character is reflected through intricate design to create an urban retreat.

&quot;The development adopts a sympathetic material pallet that respects the heritage significance and aesthetics that Annandale is known for,&quot; Doueihi says.

&quot;Abbie&rsquo;s Lane is thoughtfully designed by PBD Architects and will be a valuable addition to the neighbourhood.&rdquo;

PBD Architects Managing Director Paul Buljevic says the built form explores the concept of solidity versus openness.

&quot;The fa&ccedil;ade&rsquo;s brickwork and powder coated metal will complement the historical roots of Annandale with a contemporary aesthetic.

&quot;We employed sustainable strategies to maximise the flow of natural air and improve ventilation across the development.

&ldquo;Abbie&rsquo;s Lane&rsquo;s striking exterior is focused on protection and solidity, while the interior balances restorative calm. The use of natural textures and refined simplicity will be on display throughout the apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108871 project_image_fid=180439]

Colliers are handling the marketing of Abbie&#39;s Lane, with prices starting from $750,000.

Daniel McMahon, Director - Residential at Colliers says Abbie&rsquo;s Lane represents a unique offering in the Inner West and is one of the first new projects in Annandale that will capitalise on growth plans in the area.

&quot;Annandale&rsquo;s easy accessibility to Sydney CBD, Blackwattle Bay, Barangaroo and popular universities make Abbie&rsquo;s Lane a very appealing location for both owner occupiers and savvy investors.

&ldquo;There is a limited number of new apartment projects in the suburb, ensuring Abbie&rsquo;s Lane is ideally positioned in the marketplace.

&quot;Conveniently located on the city fringe, the development&rsquo;s high-quality apartment offering complimented by a friendly village lifestyle will draw a wide mix of buyers.&rdquo;

Abbie&rsquo;s Lane apartments have been designed to take advantage of the building&rsquo;s frontages capturing sunlight, summer breezes and leafy street views.

The apartments feature private courtyards, large outdoor spaces, wide frontages and a select few even have built-in fireplaces. Bathrooms will feature porcelain tiles and mosaics,&nbsp;Parisi tapware, basins and bathtubs. Light and dark schemes in the kitchen will be complimented by stone benchtops and a splashback, custom joinery and timber floorboards.

Situated on&nbsp;1,765 sqm, Abbie&rsquo;s Lane is next door to the Annandale Hotel, Annandale Public School is a short 700 metre walk, while Annandale Village is within 950 metres. Sydney University, the University of Technology Sydney and RPA Hospital are all within 2.8 kilometres.

The distinctive five-level building at 8 McCarthy Lane will home 42 studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments

Rock star Peter Garrett buys at Annandale

As the scaffolding comes down from St Kilda's Gatwick Hotel, the location of next month's series of The Block, its executive producer Julian Cress has formally cut ties with Sydney.
The buyer of his redundant Annandale warehouse paid a record $4,275,000 through McGrath agent Damien West.
The space, which failed to sell at its March auction, had come with a price guide of $4.5 million.
Cress inherited the Johnstone Lane warehouse from his late father, the Archibald award-winning artist Fred Cress.
The prior top price for a converted warehouse in Annandale sat with the $3.7 million paid last June by fellow artist Jonathan Newton, the son of Britain’s Gravity Media Group boss John Newton.
Julian Cress commissioned architect Julian Brenchley and Block designer Darren Palmer to undertake the recent conversion which was recognised with the 2015 MBA's Excellence in Housing Award.
Set at the end of a laneway, the home has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a ground floor gallery.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2018/7/30/annandale%202.jpeg" alt="">
The warehouse features polished concrete, exposed brick and soaring ceilings, interlaced with exposed steel and timber trusses.
There's an open plan upper level integrated with a private rooftop terrace.
Cress and wife Sarah have been based in Albert Park after The Block became more permanently based in Melbourne.
Over the years Cress became critical of nitpicking Sydney council approvals in his pursuit of development sites for the top rating Channel 9 show.
He has been executive producer of the hit show since its first series in 2003 where they launched with its renovation a block of apartments in Bondi.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2018/7/30/annandale%203.jpeg" alt="">
Cress sold to Andrew Parker, the Qantas executive for government, industry and international affairs, who also was a board member of Australians for Equality during the gay marriage debate. 
Parker recently sold his Potts Point apartment to Tom Dery, the former worldwide chairman of ad agency M&amp;C Saatchi, for $4.55 million.
The purchase comes after Dery sold his luxury 1890s Paddington home for $5.1 million late last year.

As the scaffolding comes down from St Kilda's Gatwick Hotel, the location of this year's series of The Block, its executive producer Julian Cress can focus all his attention on the nearing airing of the show.
He's finally found a buyer for his redundant Annandale warehouse which he inherited from his late father, the Archibald award-winning artist Fred Cress.
The property space failed to sell at its March McGrath auction when it had a guide of $4 million after being listed in February.
It then went up with a guide of $4.5 million, selling 77 days into its marketing campaign to a Potts Point couple.
Fred Cress had used the Johnstone Lane warehouse as his creative studio.
Julian commissioned architect Julian Brenchley and designer Darren Palmer to undertake the recent conversion which was recognised with the 2015 MBA's Excellence in Housing Award.
He and wife Sarah have been based in Albert Park after The Block became more permanently based in Melbourne.

UNIVERSITY of NSW economics professors Bill Schworm and Denise Doiron sold their Annandale at weekend auction with price expectations of $1.85 million.
The result ended up at $2.1 million after flying past the $1.9 million reserve.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-annandale-127998578" target="_blank">three-bedroom, one-bathroom Pritchard St house</a> on 252sqm was renovated in 2003. They had paid $325,000 in 1993. The couple are selling the two-level house to downsize with plans to live offshore for part of the year.
Belle Property Annandale agents Robert Clarke and Michael Hallit had the listing, which was pitched just above the suburb’s $1.76 million median price for three-bedroom houses.
The March quarter Annandale auction clearance rate was 74 per cent from 28 auctions, which was higher than the inner west’s 65 per cent success rate, according to CoreLogic.
