The site includes houses at 51-61 Archer Street, 30-32A Bertram Street and 34 Albert Avenue.
Knight Frank are handling second-round expressions of interest, with a likely deal to be closed by January, according to Fairfax Media.
It is being marketed as "The Bertram", with the prospect of 400 apartments in a 90-metre tower. There is a heritage cottage which will be restored.
Develotek, which has a history of door-knocking owners of private properties to put together large residential sites, amalgamated 38 properties in 2015 for a proposed 700 apartments at Granville.
It is understood Develotek has options over the privately owned Chatswood properties, eight houses and 12 townhouses.

Site works are set to start at developer Level 33’s new project in Wolli Creek.
The group purchased the 5600 square metre residential site at 30-32 Guess Avenue for $29.5 million.
The site had an existing development approval (DA) and construction certificate for 176 apartments across two towers, both at seven storeys in height.
Level 33’s Eddy Haddad said marketing of the apartments will soon begin.
“Our vision is to deliver a new residential community to the highest design standards with all the modern conveniences of apartment living where residents will be able to enjoy the lifestyle benefits of living in close access to the Cooks River and nearby Discovery Park,” said Haddad.
Will Wehbe of St Trinity Property Group, which is marketing the project, said:
“The project represents an excellent opportunity for first home buyers who have been carefully saving deposits to get into the Sydney property market and take advantage of tens of thousands of dollars in government grants and stamp duty concessions while these incentives apply.
“Savvy investors will also be attracted to this project given its close proximity to transport, the CBD and the airport.”
Level 33 are currently working on projects in Blakehurst, Kogarah and Miranda, as well as the $75 million project SKYE in Wollongong’s CBD.

Seven home owners in Sydney’s inner west suburb of Burwood are putting up their homes on the market later in October with the combined sale expected to fetch $40 million.
The <a href="https://www.domain.com.au/9-11-13-15-neich-parade-burwood-burwood-nsw-2134-2013510017" target="_blank">10-20 Neich Parade</a> site has a combined area of nearly 3,158.8 sqm.
Though the land is zoned R2 Low Density Residential, new proposals seeks to increase the building height limit to 32 metres as part of the new R3 Medium Density Residential zoning.
The plan is in line with the Parramatta Road Urban Transformation Strategy, which has developers honing in on new residential development opportunities.
This proposed zoning will allow for the construction of up 150 apartments subject to council approval.
The site is being sold through expressions of interest closing November 9.
The sale is being handled by Neil Cooke, Stuart Cox and Johnathon Broome of Savills Australia. 
It is understood that the seven homes combined are worth circa $17 million while as a development site, the land could fetch circa $40m.

This is in line with another neighbouring Burwood site in Esher Street which sold for in excess of $3,000 per square metre of proposed Gross Floor Area (GFA) that Savills also undertook earlier in the year, benefitting from the same development controls.
This Neich Parade parcel has three street frontages and can provide Sydney CBD views to the eastern elevation and Blue Mountains views to the western elevation, via a redevelopment of the site.
It is close to Burwood CBD and Parramatta Road.
“This site represents a unique opportunity to acquire a significant parcel of tightly held level land, benefitting from three street frontages with significant development upside (STCA), situated just minutes from Burwood’s best amenities,” said Neil Cooke.
“Not to mention that the finalised Parramatta Road Urban Transformation strategy released by Urban Growth will positively impact the eventual owners within a future potential development, including the introduction of at least 82,500sq m* of employment Gross Floor Area across a variety of uses and the redevelopment of Concord Hospital situated 3.5 kilometres* from the site”.
Any developer contributions under the strategy will go towards upgrading open space for residents, new and upgraded roads, a refreshed Burwood Park and Burwood Library, added Stuart Cox.
“More importantly, WestConnex will significantly reduce traffic along Parramatta Road, as thousands of daily road users use this as the preferred route to avoid as many as 52 traffic lights,” he said.

A local developer has paid $6.3 million, exceeding expectations, for a development site with a permit for 44 units in Melbourne's Hampton.
The 427 Hampton Street property, comprising a 1,242 square metre site, zoned Commercial 1, was sold after an expressions of interest campaign.
The selling agents were Nick Peden, Jesse Radisich and Julian Heatherich of Savills Australia.
The permit includes 41 apartments and three retail spaces.

Radisich said the initial price expectations were circa $5.5 million.

Property developer Fridcorp has acquired a site in inner-city Melbourne as part of its growth strategy in the city.
The 1,311 square metre site at 3 and 5 – 15 Shiel Street, North Melbourne, was purchased with an existing permit for 65 homes from Spec Property in early March.
Along with design collaborator Elenberg Fraser, Fridcorp is working on modified plans for about 120 one and two-bedroom apartments, and will submit them to Melbourne City Council over the coming months.
Fridcorp founder and director Paul Fridman said the company is looking at opportunities in Melbourne inner-city areas such as North Melbourne.
“We believe there is strong demand for apartments in prime locations that provide a genuine alternative to a home without compromising on design and lifestyle," he said.
Elenberg Fraser will deliver both the architecture and interiors for the project. 
Fridcorp expects to launch the project in early 2017, with construction scheduled to start from mid-2017.
The developer has nearly $1.5 billion worth projects in Albion, Brisbane, South Yarra, Melbourne and Erskineville, Sydney. They are expected to bring 1700 additional apartments to the market this year.
