Luxury Apartments Plan Filed for Amalgamated Bondi Site

Two almost-100-year-old apartment complexes will make way for a luxury development at  100 and 102 Ramsgate Avenue, Bondi Beach.

Almost a century after they were built, two apartment complexes at Bondi Beach may make way for a fresh luxury development.

Planned is a four-storey block on a less than 200m to North Bondi Beach.

The plans have been submitted to the Waverley Council by an entity led by Geoffrey Levy, which settled on the multiple existing units on the site late last year.

Architecture firm MHNDU designed the contemporary building for the almalgamated site at 100 and 102 Ramsgate Avenue.

It would create four, full floor apartments across the 955sq m site, each with three bedrooms; a shared a pool and garden in the backyard, rooftop jacuzzi for the penthouse owner, and basement parking.

The proposal follows a 2021-approved home, also designed by MHNDU, nearby at 92 Ramsgate Avenue, that replaced an out-of-place, single-storey home.

The future appearance of Bondi and development in the area looks likely to evolve on the back of a development control plan adopted by the council in 2022.

New inter-war building guidelines were also adopted that year that put the burden of proof on the applicant to demonstrate a building is not from that period—1919-1939.

Waverly has the second highest density of inter-war flats in Sydney with “strong aesthetic character still evident today”.

A report by GSA Planning for the new proposal said the application was consistent with the desired future character of the area outlined in the LEP.

“The surrounding area is characterised by a diverse mix of medium-density residential developments, including a number of residential flat buildings between two and four storeys, as well as some attached and detached houses,” the report said.

“Several older buildings have been replaced by contemporary buildings, and some sites are under construction or have recent approvals for new development. This contributes to the area’s evolving character.”

However it’s not all knock-down and rebuild,—Allambi Property wants to convert 11 traditional flats into 16 apartments accorsding to plans filed in November.

In the same week, in Curlewis Street, Sydney-based developer Clutch spent $16 million on the final piece of a supersite after lodging plans for a 15-apartment application next door in September.

And early last month, fashion mogul Simone Zimmerman spent $30 million on a house on Fletcher Street, setting a new record for Bondi.
