Real estate development group Meriton Apartments aims to release some 3,000 new units in 2015 and 5,000 in 2016. The projects in the Sydney suburbs of Mascot and Pagewood respectively will be worth $A1bn and $A1.5bn. Founder Harry Triguboff says that if Meriton is divested by him, he could gain up to $A15bn and switch his focus to infrastructure developments such as water reservoirs. He also argues that there is scope for further official cash interest rate reductions by the Reserve Bank of Australia

The architecture firm responsible for designing Sydney’s Crown Casino tower proposes to reserve the top three floors for a single apartment. There has been media speculation that the luxury penthouse could fetch around $A100m, but some real estate agents question whether anybody would be prepared to pay such a figure for an apartment in Australia. However, CBRE’s Justin Brown and Savills’ Adam Ross say such a price is possible
