MK: What are the highlights of&nbsp;Siskas&nbsp;at Taskers and what is attracting buyers to the project?&nbsp;&nbsp;

GD: Undoubtedly buyers are attracted to&nbsp;Siskas&rsquo;&nbsp;unique location between the Indian Ocean and the Swan River and the lifestyle that comes with that. It promotes the best of our enviable laidback WA lifestyle but is within easy reach of Fremantle, the CBD and some of Perth&rsquo;s best schools and colleges.

As well as the location, our buyers know that with GDD they are buying an unmatched level of construction quality and sophistication &ndash; in terms of the features you do see, but also those you don&rsquo;t including rooftop solar, double glazing, acoustic plumbing, the extensive use of natural stone and European appliances across the project as well as a range of resort style, residents&rsquo; only amenities.&nbsp;&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7864 project_image_fid=142658]

MK: What was the design brief for the architect Fred&nbsp;Zuidefeld (ZMH Architects)?&nbsp;

GD: The architectural brief focused on creating a sophisticated, timeless development that fostered a connection with its&nbsp;waterfront location combining the use of the highest quality materials and finishes with the latest in innovation technology and sustainability features.&nbsp;

MK: Where have the buyers comes from and who is it appealing to?&nbsp;

GD: Our buyers and prospective buyers span a range of demographic but tend to be downsizers from the local area wanting to move from larger family homes but stay in the area in which they have grown up in and have established connections.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7864 project_image_fid=142657]

We&rsquo;re also seeing growing demand from young professionals who value the waterfront location and the range of amenities on their doorstep.&nbsp;Overall&nbsp;we are seeing buyers who want quality in terms of the finish but also the construction and the features you don&rsquo;t see. Our development is dominated by owner occupiers rather than investors which also appeals across our buying demographic.&nbsp;&nbsp;

MK: What else does&nbsp;Siskas&nbsp;at Taskers offer residents?&nbsp;

GD: Additional resident features include a wine room, workshop, 3000sqm of&nbsp;established&nbsp;private gardens &ndash; unseen in any comparable apartment development &ndash; a 25m lagoon style pool,&nbsp;alfresco dining/ entertaining spaces, yoga/ pilates and massage room,&nbsp;gym,&nbsp;sauna and onsite caf&eacute;.&nbsp;

MK: Why did you choose North Fremantle Does this area offer strong investment opportunities?&nbsp;&nbsp;

GD: North Fremantle is primarily dominated by older&nbsp;free standing&nbsp;homes on larger blocks with limited development but plenty of potential.&nbsp;It&rsquo;s&nbsp;also a standout location in terms of its access to river and ocean, Fremantle, Claremont and Cottesloe. The annual growth rate is 4.3% and properties tend to be very tightly held, making it a very&nbsp;sought after&nbsp;suburb.&nbsp;&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7864 project_image_fid=142670]

MK: Where is current buyer enquiry coming from?&nbsp;

GD: It tends to be dominated by those from the local area however we are seeing an increasing level of both interstate and overseas enquiry as a growing number of people post-COVID&nbsp;realise the unbeatable lifestyle WA offers.&nbsp;&nbsp;

What buyers need to know about North Fremantle’s Siskas at Taskers: Urban chats with Gary Dempsey Developments

<html><body>
Architect Paul Buljevic, from PBD Architects, and his wife, now call the Clovelly project that once appeared on ABC's Grand Designs as their home.
It fetched $7 million through Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agency which had a $6.5 million price guide.
It sold just before the onset of COVID-19 when the estate agency reported there'd been a quick 10 to 15 percent price fall by mid-April.
The agency then sent shockwaves with its forecast that coastal prestige prices would fall another 10 to 20 per cent and not recover for five to seven years.
The Clovelly home was featured in Grand Designs Australia in 2012 when built by Prebuilt in Melbourne as four modules.
The pods were trucked to Sydney in a convoy and lifted into position to create the uber modern, two storey residence.
Now featuring a jet black exterior, the zinc and timber clad customised home, which has undergone a renovation in recent years, has four bedrooms and a home office.
It was architect Pleaser Perkins who designed the home which sold for $6 million in 2017 to car dealer Steve Nasteski, who has made a $12 million sea change with his acquisition of the Wategos beachfront reserve, Whalewatchers from Salmat co-founder Peter Mattock and his wife Pam.

Luxury residential price growth in Australia is highest in Sydney and Melbourne, according to the results of the Prime International Residential Index (PIRI 100) in Knight Frank’s The Wealth Report 2020, released.
The PIRI 100, which tracks the movement of luxury residential prices in 100 cities and second home markets globally between December 2018 and December 2019, found four Australian cities were ranked in the top 60 for luxury residential market performance over the past year. 
Sydney was the top ranked city in Australia, coming in at number 27 with 3.7 per cent annual growth, with Melbourne second at 44 (2.2 per cent growth).
The Gold Coast was ranked 55 (1.8 per cent), Brisbane was ranked 57 (1.4 per cent) and Perth came in at 63 (0.9 per cent)
“Globally, the 100 locations covered by Knight Frank’s Prime International Residential Index recorded average price rises of 1.8 per cent, up from 1.3 per cent in 2018, although down from the 2.8 per cent recorded in 2013", according to Michelle Ciesielski, Knight Frank’s head of residential research Australia.
“Despite record low interest rates and wealth growth continuing in most advanced economies, there were some factors preventing global price growth from reaching previous highs, including the slowing global economy, rising property taxes and in some cases, a surplus of luxury homes on the market.
“But global price growth is firmly on the way up, with a shift away from the moderating price growth that has prevailed since 2013. We found 78 of the 100 locations in PIRI registered flat or positive growth in 2019. 
“In Australia, Sydney and Melbourne recorded growth above the global average, and Sydney is leading the five domestic markets with prices underpinned by constrained supply, a resilient stock market and three interest rate cuts in 2019.
“Arguably unrivalled for lifestyle, Sydney combines all the first-class amenities of a tier-one city with an outdoor lifestyle in a waterfront location.”
Shayne Harris, National Head of Residential, Knight Frank said, “Demand for luxury property in Sydney has further strengthened, with demand growing and momentum building from 2019 into 2020. 
“We know from The Knight Frank Attitudes Survey that one-third of Australian ultra-high-net individuals (UHNWIs) wealth portfolios are made up of their principal place of residence and second homes.
 “Sixteen per cent of Australian UHNWIs are planning another residential home purchase and this doesn’t include those properties for investment purposes. The main reason for their next purchase will be led by upgrading the family’s main residence, downsizing or retirement and a new family home in a sunny location.  
“Globally, 21 per cent of UHNWIs are planning another home purchase in 2020. When ranking the countries for the next purchase, Australia came in third place, behind the United Kingdom and the United States despite non-residents without an investor visa being restricted to new-build purchases only.
“Looking at relative values across the globe, you can essentially buy 50 sqm of prime luxury internal floorspace in Sydney with US$1 million, when compared to 21 sqm in Hong Kong or just 16 sqm in Monaco. 
“Your US$1 million extends even further when buying in Melbourne (96 sqm), Perth (117 sqm), Brisbane (123 sqm) and 136 sqm on the Gold Coast.”
Ms Ciesielski said ongoing high demand for luxury residential property in both Sydney and Melbourne was expected to result in higher growth rates in prices next year.
“Both cities have performed better than expected over the past 12 months, exceeding expectations for prime residential price growth, with Sydney’s actual growth of 3.7 per cent almost double the forecast 2 per cent and Melbourne’s growth of 2.2 per cent more than double the forecast 1 per cent.” 
“Knight Frank’s The Wealth Report forecasts that Sydney luxury residential property prices will grow by 4 per cent in 2020, while Melbourne will see growth of 3 per cent. The other cities of Brisbane, Perth and the Gold Coast are forecast to see growth of 2 per cent over this time.”

Five Australian cities have been named in the top 30 best performing luxury real estate growth markets in the world by Knight Frank.
In their Prime Global Cities Index Q3 2019, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Perth all made it in to the top 30 which was crowned by Moscow.
In Australia, all but Perth, who ranked 30th, recorded growth higher than the average annual prime price growth of 1.1 per cent across 45 cities globally. 
Sydney ranked 17 with gains of 2.6 per cent, jumping a place from last year. It topped the unmoved Melbourne, placed again at 21st, with two per cent growth.
Melbourne only just edged out Brisbane, ranked 22nd with two per cent.
The Gold Coast ranked 26th with 1.3 per cent gains. It was only last quarter it first appeared on the list. Perth was ranked 30th with growth of 0.7 per cent.
Knight Frank’s Head of residential research Australia Michelle Ciesielski said: “Whilst the Australian mainstream residential markets were progressively being corrected by tightened lending measures, the prime property market continued to experience positive growth given the prestige end of the market was less impacted by funding restrictions throughout this time.
“In fact, the major east coast cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast have now recorded 25 quarters, or more, of positive annual growth," she added.
“Growth in prime property prices closely follows the performance on the stock exchange – and there have been some significant gains made on the Australian sharemarket in 2019. Collectively the Australian prime market has continued to see sustainable growth of 2% in the year ending September 2019, whilst the sharemarket recorded a 7.7% return.
 With equities on an upward growth trajectory, its likely this will follow through to further growth in prime property prices.”
The Prime Global Cities Index increased by 1.1% in the year to September 2019, down from 3.4% in 2018, with slower prime price growth attributable to mounting economic headwinds. 
Knight Frank’s Head of Prestige Residential Deborah Cullen says that the top end of the market slow more consideration and time in transacting.
"There is still strong interest from local and expat buyers for blue ribbon areas and for “best in class” assets, in particular the waterfront areas of Sydney.”

Five Australian cities in Knight Frank's top 30 for luxury residential real estate price growth

<html><body>
Five Australian cities ranked in the top 32 cities around the world for luxury residential price growth, according to the latest research findings from Knight Frank.
The Knight Frank Prime Global Cities Index – Q2 2019, which tracks the movement in prime residential prices (the top 5% of the housing market in most cities, by value) across 46 cities worldwide, revealed Sydney was ranked 18th for luxury price growth.
Following Sydney is Brisbane ranking 20th, Melbourne 21st, the Gold Coast 27th and Perth 32nd.
Sydney has moved back into the top spot for Australia, while Melbourne has moved up the rankings one spot from the previous quarter.
The Gold Coast has been included in the Prime Global Cities Index for the first time in Q2 2019.
Knight Frank says this reflects stability and depth in the city’s established luxury home market, with a solid pipeline of new projects catered towards affluent local and interstate downsizers.
The Prime Global Cities Index – Q2 2019 found three Australian cities - Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane - all recorded growth in luxury residential prices higher than the overall average annual prime price growth of 1.4% across the 46 global cities in the 12 months leading up to the end of June this year.

Over the past year, most capital cities and regional markets have been recording value declines. While values are broadly continuing to fall, the rate of these falls on a monthly basis has been slowing.
After having seen much larger corrections than the other two segments (following a larger growth phase), the most expensive segment of the market is seeing its rate of decline slow.
This is a trend that has played out before whereby premium housing values fall the fastest initially but also sees the falls cease earlier than other market segments.
It is still early days but with the housing market expected to trough in late 2019, the premium housing sector may find a floor first and start to show some level of recovery before the other segments.

Four Australian capital cities rank in the top 23 cities around the world for luxury residential price growth, according to the latest global research from Knight Frank.
The Knight Frank Prime Global Cities Index – Q1 2019, revealed Brisbane was ranked 14 for luxury price growth, followed by Sydney (18), Melbourne (22) and Perth (23).
Overall the index increased by 1.3% in the year to Q1 2019, its lowest average annual rate of growth since Q4 2009, and down from 1.8% in the previous quarter.
Knight Frank’s Head of Residential Research Australia Michelle Ciesielski said although it was still rising, prime global residential price growth had continued to moderate due to political and economic headwinds, the rising cost of finance and more property market regulations around the world.
“The Australian luxury market continues to perform well, with Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane all recording growth in luxury residential prices higher than the overall average of 1.3% in the 12 months leading up to the end of March this year."
“Despite a recent cooling of the market in Sydney and Melbourne, these markets recorded yearly price growth of 2.4% and 1.8% respectively, while Brisbane recorded year-on-year growth of 3.2% and Perth recorded growth of 1.8%.”
Ms Ciesielski added, Australia’s luxury residential markets were expected to continue to perform well going forward, particularly Sydney and Melbourne, where the number of high-net-worth individuals – those with a net worth of more than US$1 million, excluding their primary residence – was expected to grow by 21% from 2018 to 2023 to reach a total of 116,049 in Sydney and 68,888 in Melbourne.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2019/5/16/Knight%20Frank%20Wealthy%20People.JPG" alt="">
“Over the past five years four millionaires were created every day in Sydney,” she said. “This is expected to rise to 11 millionaires per day over the next five years."
“In Melbourne, we saw three millionaires created per day over the same period, with projections it will rise to seven millionaires a day over the next five years."
“Perth’s millionaire numbers are expected to double from two per day over the past five years to four per day over the next five years, while for Brisbane the figures will triple from one to three millionaires being created every day over the same timeframe," Ms Ciesielski concluded.
Knight Frank Partner &amp; Head of Residential Australia Sarah Harding said, “Not only will there be more people with more money to buy luxury residential property in Australia, but we have found the majority of buyers in the prestige market across the country are not under the same pressures experienced by those in the mainstream market of minimal wage growth and restrictions on finance from the banks.
“Sydney is continuing to see positive growth in the prestige market, with limited luxury properties suitable for high-end buyers."
“They’re looking not only for superb quality finishes, but smart technology and high levels of privacy within their luxury residences."
“With competition for limited stock, we expect to see positive price growth for luxury homes, albeit at a more sustainable pace than in previous years,” Ms Harding concluded.
European cities accounted for seven of the top 10 rankings for annual growth.
Berlin was the top ranked city, with 14.1% annual growth, while Moscow placed second with 12% growth.

A bespoke four-bedroom sky home located in the Brisbane suburb of New Farm has just sold for $6.150 million.
Situated at 10/70 Bowen Terrace, its Darwin-based owner Brooke David purchased two apartments to create the the sky home, which was designed over 12 months by architect Justin O’Neill. 
The 670 sqm residence featured four-bathrooms, and was considered to be "next-level luxury" by Ray White New Farm duo Matt Lancashire and Christine Rudolph, who brokered the sale.
The luxury master bathroom centred around its bathtub, which was positioned under a magnetised crystal halo of lights, and enabled a view over the Story Bridge through the floor-to-ceiling glass walls.
“It was a home, yes it was definitely a sky home. I wanted a Manhattan-style apartment to take advantage of that view,” David said of the property.
“The bathroom really was huge and I had always planned to stay in Brisbane every second week but in the end I was only getting to Brisbane for three days of every month, so it was madness to keep it,” said the semi-retired owner.
"I’m sad to let it go but I’m happy it’s sold. It didn’t realty take that long in the end to sell.”
The sale was coordinated between Ray White New Farm along with Place Estate Agents duo Damian and Sarah Hackett.
"We ran an amazing campaign national campaign and we secured this buyer together in a sign of great coordination between some of Brisbane’s best leading agents," Lancashire said.
"Homes like this two-level luxurious apartment are in high-demand. It's as big as a prestige residence but without the maintenance," he said.
"We have many high net worth clients looking for very similar properties around Brisbane."
