THE latest addition to the Hope Island waterfront has culminated this month with the topping out of Anchorage Apartments’ $46 million fourth stage.
The project, on Sheehan Ave, has attracted strong sales interest with 65 per cent of stock already sold.

The 10-story building includes 42 two, three and three-bedroom plus study apartments ranging from 140 to 280 sqm.
Anchorage Apartments’ Rick Sheida said interest in the project was surging and they looked forward to welcoming potential buyers through the building from September.
“To have already sold 65 per cent of the fourth stage by the topping out is incredibly exciting and a testament to the strong buyer proposition this development offers in terms of its waterfront location, generous apartment size, luxury finishes and amenities and spectacular views,” Mr Sheida said.
“Many of our buyers are already familiar with the lifestyle and luxury of life at Anchorage having purchased into the fourth stage after living in an apartment in one of our other buildings. We look forward to showing future residents through the building in September ahead of welcoming them to their new home later this year.”

Prices in the fourth stage start at $700,000.

As the pandemic has made clear, companies who tailor toward the consumer succeed in both good and bad economic times. But buying and selling homes isn’t like other online shopping experiences. Why?
If you’re striving to make a positive impact on your team as a leader, you have to take note of their energy — as well as your own. By focusing on breath work, staying centered and noticing subtle shifts, you can be a better, more thoughtful leader.

Gavin Rubinstein has been named the top-selling principal for Ray White internationally.
Gavin Rubinstein took the top prizes at last night’s Ray White awards, named not only the top-selling principal in NSW and ACT but the number one principal for the real estate franchise internationally.
The gun eastern suburbs agent, who only opened his own office Ray White TRG a year ago, said COVID-19 had a massive impact on the sales environment.
“It’s been more challenging to sell property without question and the most challenging environment in terms of getting the deal done,” Rubinstein told the Wentworth Courier.
He also said that after winning the number one sales agent for the group for the previous seven years, becoming the No.1 principal feels the biggest achievement to date.

The sales agents at Ray White TRG: Evan Williams, Cae Thomas, principal Gavin Rubinstein, Oliver Lathers and Patrick Cosgrove.
“I’m an absolute baby at running a business — this is a whole new game,” Rubinstein said.
Initially operating from a temporary office before the new Queen St office opened last September, he hadn’t anticipated the time required for recruiting — including support staff, the team has grown from five to 15 — and training.
But he said he was incredibly proud of his team who had been a key reason he — and they — had done so well at the awards.
“I have the support of an amazing team and a very good group of clients that I am extremely grateful for,” he said.
“I’ve enjoyed most of the past 12 months and seeing guys like Oli (Oliver Lavers); Patrick (Cosgrove), Evan (Williams) and Cae (Thomas) progress.”
The international award is based on settled commissions for the franchise’s sales across Australia and New Zealand.

The office was also involved in recent $5.65m sale of the Tamarama home of tailor Patrick Johnson and his interior designer wife Tamsin and the $4m Paddington sale to Nadia Fairfax last week.
He said next challenges were for someone in his office to win the No. 1 salesperson award and to one day win the number one office ranking.
“Winning No. 1 office is not going to happen overnight — the guys in the top ranking have 50 to 70 staff, we’re small fish but with the right work ethic and dedication we stand a good chance,” Rubinstein said.
A more urgent task is to get some more space in the office. “I don’t have a spare seat in the office,” he laughed.
In other awards, the state’s coveted top office Award went to Ray White Lower North Shore, which also ranked as the second top office in the international award.
Ray White Maroubra/South Coogee Director Nader Hotait is number one sales agent based on sales commissions.
