Fortis bought the 2A James Street for $50 million after 12 months of negotiations with individual owners. The 14 lots will now be consolidated to create a 3,500sq m area.
Pallas Group is the parent company of real estate financier and investment manager Pallas Capital and property developer Fortis. The expected end value of Fortis projects under construction or under a planning proposal is $4 billion nationwide.
“The deal is the largest ever land consolidation in Woollahra and now the largest privately held parcel of land in the suburb,” Fortis director Charles Mellick said.
“This is the first time off the plan apartments of this scale are being offered in Woollahra, also marking the biggest sqm regeneration in this suburb. Our aim with this project is to be sympathetic to its heritage and context, ensuring that the existing buildings are restored.”
Within the design, the 1880s theatre will be restored by Mim Design and converted into a single trophy residence, with an expected end value of $20 million. The interiors of the other residences are being undertaken by Alexander & Co.
