2025After a few weeks of eager anticipation Donnie’s quietly opened at the base of the Australian Mercantile Land & Finance Woolstores last weekend you’d have spied a throng of eager diners chomping down slices of crispy New York-style pizzas munching on Philly cheesesteak spring rolls and quaffing cocktails boasting a slight Americana twist Donnie’s is now officially up and running – here’s what you can expect … Every kind of pizza has its own feverish fanbase – the dyed-in-the-wool true believers that will preach the gospel of their favourite style of slice to anyone that will listen You’ve got the Neapolitan purists (perhaps the largest contingent) and zealous devotees of Roman-inspired pizza al taglio as well as the deep-dish evangelists and the Detroit-style die-hards – not to mention the more obscure New Haven apizza Jackson McLoughlin and Nickolas Kruckel go to bat for New York-style pizzas seeing as they’ve just opened their own eatery and cocktail bar dedicated to the thin flexible and piping-hot pies first created by New York City’s Italian immigrant population The Canberra transplants have both made pilgrimages to the Big Apple over the years where storied venues like L’Industrie Pizzeria and Joe’s Pizza captured their hearts and taste buds Their new Teneriffe-based nosh spot Donnie’s (located between Zero Fox and Rita’s in the space formerly home to Siffredi’s) is not only a love letter to New York’s pizza scene but also the duo’s attempt to promote the style they believe is under-represented in our local offering “The whole idea of the New York pizza still is kind’ve foreign – you don’t really see a lot of it in Australia though I guess it’s become a little bit more prevalent recently,” says Jackson “Frank Pinello’s The Pizza Show and Dave Portnoy – love him or hate him – have done a lot for that style of pizza and has given the world access to what makes a good pizza.” Jackson and Nick are going to great lengths to ensure the pizza served at Donnie’s would rank highly on the Portnoy scale. During the fit-out process, the duo flew Alim Nayil of Patio Pizza in the UK out to Brisbane recruiting the chef for an intensive masterclass that included dough making and recipe ideation plus a desire to top their pizzas with only the best hyper-seasonal ingredients and house-made sauces has Jackson and Nick in a solid position to make Donnie’s a top choice from the jump To achieve the same mouth feel and flavour as their New York inspirations Jackson and Nick have honed in on a lower-hydration dough recipe (made using a mixture of flours) that is cold-fermented for 48 hours Once fired up in Donnie’s Pizza Master deck oven (the same oven used in many of America’s top pizza joints) the pizza is pliant and foldable while still retaining integrity with just the right amount of char on the base and a crispy crust offering a perfectly chewy texture “You obviously have to worry about what you’re putting on the pizza and making sure you’re not just slapping everything together,” says Jackson “But time is one of the biggest ingredients as well – resting of the dough and letting it come to temperature Putting all of these processes in place gets the most consistent product that you can.” the Donnie’s team is aiming for maximum flavour Currently eight core options feature on the menu with highlights including the Pepperoni (coated in American cup ‘n’ char pepperoni hot honey and whipped ricotta) and the Gabagool (meatball ragu There is also a vegan-friendly option crowned with house-made almond ricotta Subscribe for updatesJackson and Nick have plans to introduce a monthly pizza special down the line which is where they’ll be indulging in a bit of experimentation “We’ll probably start that next month – get creative and have a look at whether there’s any special dates that fall within the month and play into that a little bit,” says Jackson “We’re eager to get cooking and experimenting with it all over the coming months.” Though New York-style pizza headlines the offering Jackson is quick to stress that Donnie’s isn’t just a pizza joint Framed more as a casual eatery and cocktail bar guests can also swing through and graze on an assortment of inventive snacks and side plates Smoked-mozzarella sticks with pinot noir marinara pork and beef meatballs in tomato sugo and antipasti boards make for a great opening act “We’re trying to not pigeonhole ourselves into being a pizzeria – it’s a bit more bougie “You can come here during the week to catch-up with a friend and have a wine or a cocktail and some nibblies but then on the weekend bring a group down for some pizzas.” with a few tap beers (including Donnie’s own lager) available alongside a clutch of seasonal spritzes and classic cocktails with some Americana-inspired riffs black tea-infused vodka and white-peach puree) and the Coffee & Doughnuts (made with salted-caramel vodka Cinnamon Toast Crunch dulce the leche and express) are both must-try concoctions the list features a healthy ratio of new wave and established players “It’s sort of a mix of new school and old school,” Jackson says “We’ve got your big Australian heavy hitters – like Clare Valley shiraz and pinot noir from the Yarra Valley but then we’ve also got a fiano (from Minim) and a nice chilled red (from Unico Zelo).” When Donnie’s softly opened over the Anzac Day weekend Early feedback indicates that Donnie’s is a welcome addition to the Vernon Terrace strip which is popular for its cache of casual-yet-considered dining options Subscribe for updates“I just want this venue to be a spot where people can hang out and catch up – like a lot of bars in America “That’s how it felt over the weekend – we are just a bar serving great pizza and people can blow in at any time of day and feel comfortable.” Donnie’s is now open – head to The Directory for more information.

coveted neighbour, New Farm – Queensland’s most expensive suburb – Ben Percival of Percival Property Group says Teneriffe holds its own with impressive bragging rights “Teneriffe stands as Brisbane’s most heritage-rich suburb creating a village-like atmosphere just two kilometres from the CBD,” he says Teneriffe’s consistent appeal ensures exclusive property values across the board often leading to higher average square-metre rates than its neighbour.” Percival says Teneriffe’s charm draws people of all ages and lifestyles resulting in impressive rental yields and strong capital growth solidifying its reputation as a wise long-term investment “Along the riverfront are Teneriffe’s most prized properties especially the coveted Catalina homes – freehold residences backing directly onto the river with stunning views of Bulimba,” Percival says Why virtually no one lists their home in Whale Beach How character-rich Hawthorn is retaining its property value Oatlands: This storybook

Teneriffe Banks a $1.5 billion development poised to revitalise the riverfront “It’s rare to have the chance to add a new chapter to the heritage fabric of such an iconic neighbourhood,” says Mark Stevens, founder of Kokoda Property Group, which is spearheading the development. “This ambitious project aims to elevate Teneriffe’s riverside presence with a mixed-use lifestyle precinct that blends residential options, a luxury hotel, and lively laneways to boost the area’s appeal and connectivity.” Paying homage to Teneriffe’s cherished Woolstore, Teneriffe Banks will introduce a refined modern twist, fitting for a suburb that has become one of Brisbane’s most admired neighbourhoods. “A lively network of laneways will weave through the site, linking Teneriffe back to the river, while the extended River Walk boosts the area’s usability,” Stevens says. “Its scale and quality will transform not only the suburb but the entire city, solidifying Brisbane’s reputation as a global

traditional route to become Project Design Manager at Kokoda Property – but let’s be honest when does the best career path ever follow a straight line but her eye for aesthetics and big-picture thinking led her to carve out a role that fuses design where interactive digital tech brings their future riverfront home to life.“Purchasing property is not just a rational decision it’s deeply emotional,” Holly explains “We wanted our clients to truly connect with the vision we have for these projects.” The result and every detail is designed to make you fall in love with the future pushing the envelope in design wasn’t without its challenges – namely transforming an old rundown building into a state-of-the-art experience But instead of fighting the quirks of the space preserving original brick walls and blending heritage with modern finishes with locally sourced materials and energy-efficient designs leading the charge Holly stays ahead of the curve by travelling and keeping a close eye on innovation in everything from hospitality to tech “Our team recently travelled to Bangkok to experience the flagship Kimpton Hotel to gain inspiration as we open our own Kimpton hotel on the Teneriffe Banks site.” While she’s keeping tight-lipped about upcoming hospitality partnerships (watch this space) one thing’s for sure: Kokoda House and Teneriffe Banks are setting a new

post-industrial homes Nestled above The Woven lofts will sit the fifth collection of homes which kits onto both the north and south buildings along Skyring Terrace and captures the urban character and city form inspired by the geometry of the masterplan with a selection of one and a unique loft apartment masterfully designed to take advantage of both city and river views Kokoda Property Founder and Managing Director Mark Stevens said that Teneriffe Banks will be the developer’s crowning achievement “Teneriffe Banks is one of the largest private developments within Brisbane and with that comes a weight of responsibility," Stevens said "We have worked tirelessly to refine the masterplan and vision for the site and believe it will leave a lasting legacy for the city of Brisbane It will become a global destination where people can meet Teneriffe Banks is a collaboration between design partners Cottee Parker Architects, Carr, and Urbis Town Planning and Landscaping “The advantage of working with two architectural practices is that they both feed off each other finding strengths in their respective niches and harmoniously bring them together I believe we have successfully combined the best of both worlds,” Stevens added We're on a mission to radically improve the quality of Urban communities being developed across Australia We aim to showcase every development in Australia to help you find the perfect new home The most expensive suburb in Brisbane just saw a home sold for $6.05 million – but in just a few years its new build is estimated to make the property worth $20 million was bought by vendor Malia Chappel as a means to build her family’s dream home she decided to work with renowned architect Shaun Lockyer to rebuild the site with a whole new look and we decided we would put together what we thought at the time would be our forever home.” The home is one of only 22 properties sitting by the Teneriffe Reserve representing more than 7 acres of protected bushland near the city Sixty Four Property agent Ivo Kornel said the property’s size of 866 sqm made it a rare and valuable property in the already expensive market “Double blocks that back onto the reserve are few and far between,” he said “If you want to be backing onto a heritage reserve Teneriffe is Brisbane’s most expensive suburb to buy in with this property facing the protected Teneriffe Reserve The plan was to turn the home into a five-bedroom five-bathroom property: including a granny flat on the middle floor of the location But as designs and approvals were being finalised a surprise pregnancy meant Ms Chappel would no longer have the time to oversee the build time and of course money … went into establishing those plans,” she said and not realising we were about to have a little baby as well!” The large block of land directly overlooks the bush and is only one of 22 homes bordering the site The family then sought to sell to someone interested in continuing the already organised plans for the house who would appreciate the value of a new build in that location “It’s a very special block,” Ms Chappel said because the ones below you are down quite low and the ones above you Mr Kornel said the home was purchased by a man in his 30s from Townsville who had been looking to work on a project in Teneriffe for “years” “He was always our buyer as soon as we launched it,” he said “He knew that if he didn’t jump on this one Future renders of the Shaun Lockyer rebuild estimated to make the home worth around $20 million The home had previously sold in 2022 for $5.05 million Mr Kornel said after the build was finished the new owner planned to sell the home to a wealthy buyer who did not have the time to build their own dream home The Shaun Lockyer build is estimated to increase the value of the home by nearly $14 million “They’re probably starting tomorrow; it’ll be finished within 12-18 months,” Mr Kornel said Construction is expected to finish on the new home within the next two years With Brisbane’s upcoming Olympic Games and its growing developments Mr Kornel added he felt a $6m home in Teneriffe today was “smart buying” “I think what’s expensive today will be cheap tomorrow,” he said “They know that $20m price tag will be $30m in years to come.” With street frontage on all sides, from the air it looks like the weatherboard property – a local icon – has been plonked on a roundabout. Listed for lease by Living Here Cush Partners, and asking $2700 per week, the home in Teneriffe is named Avondale and is surrounded by lush gardens. “A home with no direct neighbours, the property also known as ‘The Island Home’ is seeking new tenants to call it home,” the listing explains. Hastings, Tilbrook and Kingsholme streets edge the address and the classic Queenslander is high set, to capture views of the Brisbane CBD. The home is typical of a Queenslander, with a deep, wraparound verandah for taking in the Brissie sun, timber-lined walls, lofty ceilings, fireplaces and breezy open-plan living. Archways, ceiling roses and decorative cornices lend heritage flourish. Teneriffe: This industrial locale has only been an official suburb since 2010 The Brisbane suburbs where home buyers pay a premium for space This suburb has the highest and fastest rental growth of anywhere in Australia There is not enough data to produce a median house price for Teneriffe. However, units have performed with gusto, ending the year with a median of $860,000 – a rise of 18.6 per cent over 12 months.

Skyring Tce and was previously owned by the Riverside Coal Transport company While Kokoda Property is still searching for a builder Mr Stevens said he felt the LNP’s state election win may help free up trade for Teneriffe Banks’ construction because I think government infrastructure work may not go ahead in its volume as it previously may have done under a Labor government,” he told the Courier Mail Over 200 residences are being offered at the development with options ranging from a two-bedroom home at $1.5 million to a top-of-the-line penthouse at more than $25 million Kokoda Property

attracting the wealthiest buyers An analysis from Ray White Group shows Brisbane’s richest streets are concentrated in the inner-city suburbs the median price for a property in Teneriffe is currently $4.105m — a 10 per cent jump from last year — but the median price for a property on Macquarie St is a cool $6.5m This year’s biggest sales have been even higher with a stylish three-level house with a pool on Macquarie St located next to one of the iconic Woolstore buildings sold for a whopping $7m Four other inner-city streets were among the top ten — Laidlaw Pde Paddington; and Hillside Cres and Parkside Ct in Hamilton Ivy St in leafy Indooroopilly was the only street outside of that well-heeled precinct to make the cut with a $4.69m buy-in Macquarie St homeowners Simon and Rose Palmer’s top floor apartment is perched above the city’s best street The Palmers are taking their renovated three-bedroom unit in the Ansonia Woolstore building at 304/64 Macquarie Street, Teneriffe to auction on Thursday Simon and Rose Palmer in their Woolstore apartment Features including polished hardwood floors original timber beams and exposed brickwork said the riverside area was highly sought after by young professionals and families “Everyone knows how iconic the Teneriffe woolstores are but not everyone gets the chance to know what it’s like to live in one,” Mr Cassidy said He said Teneriffe offered a mix of heritage character with a chic village atmosphere favoured by the 30-something fashion set with local cafes and bars as well as the Gasworks Plaza and James St precinct The Palmers’ woolstore apartment goes to auction on Thursday the highest recorded sale was $15m in 2021 for a glamorous 1980s-built mansion owned by doctor and board game designer Peter Hawes The sprawling property with a tennis court pontoon and spectacular river views sold to ophthalmic surgeon Graham Hay-Smith and his wife Peggy Ekeledo-Smith Both sales came in under the Brisbane record of $23m set in November with the off-market sale of a historic Ascot home once owned by Ray White Group chairman Brian White It was on Sutherland Ave – which was missing from the top ten streets list Place Estate Agents managing director Sarah Hackett said surging prices reflected the scarcity of blue-chip riverfront properties which were limited in number and tightly held Riverfront is the common factor among Brisbane’s top streets “The obvious parallel between these streets is the riverfront,” Ms Hackett said “The block sizes are much larger on Virginia Ave and offer fabulous city views while on Macquarie St you wake up with the easterly morning sign to impeccable views down the river.” She expected price growth to continue into 2025 with the area still offering exceptional value compared to Sydney’s waterfront just 0.28 per cent of the total sales between 2023 and 2024 were riverfront There’s only so many of these homes and riverfront real estate is arguably the city’s strongest growing commodity right now,” Ms Hackett said She said multiple $10m-plus offers had been received for her current Virginia Ave listing a mansion owned by pharmacy chain founder Don Gardiner and his wife Colleen for 30 years Place Estate Agents managing director Sarah Hackett where the typical house price of $350,000 was well below the citywide median of $868,000 Four streets in Fitzgibbon had buy-ins under $500,00 – Wollemi Lne while the median price in Wedgetail and Crater Sts But the rising cost of living is putting upward pressure on these once-affordable areas as buyers priced out of surrounding suburbs

house price) The first images of a $1.5 billion development planned for Brisbane’s riverfront have been released but the developer admits it is yet to secure a builder Teneriffe Banks will comprise more than 200 apartments The first look at Kokoda Property’s plans for Teneriffe Banks on the Brisbane River Designed by Cottee Parker Architects and Carr the development will connect Skyring Terrace back to the Brisbane River via sprawling laneways and open spaces The plans are for five buildings in total and a public marina with the residential component due to launch to the market in September The development will include a rooftop terrace and amenities that will be available to the public Units will range from luxury apartments to modern penthouse residences and woolstore-inspired lofts — priced from $1.5m for a two-bedder up to more than $20m for a top-of-the-range penthouse There will be 20 sub-penthouses and penthouses Kokoda Property founder and managing director Mark Stevens said the project had attracted more than 1500 enquiries in a week from interested residential buyers — mostly owner-occupiers from Teneriffe and New Farm An aerial shot of the marina proposed for Teneriffe Banks “What’s on offer is something Brisbane has not seen before,” Mr Stevens said “It will be transformational for Teneriffe Mr Stevens said construction was likely to start in the first half of next year although he was still “in the process of securing a builder” “It’s just a process we have to go through Kokoda Property founder Mark Stevens inside the Riverside Industrial Sands site which will be turned into a $1.5b waterfront development at Teneriffe “Not all the builders have received government work Not all that infrastructure work has been given the go-ahead.” He said the state election in October would determine how much of the proposed public and Olympic infrastructure work would still proceed “Builders we’re speaking to have made it clear… they’re conscious of not putting all their eggs in one basket.” Mr Stevens said he believed the biggest issue within the construction industry was the decline in productivity He admitted the CFMEU had “not been helpful” in that area An artist’s impression of the development proposed for Teneriffe The 17,600sq m parcel of land at 17-27 Skyring Tce Teneriffe was previously owned by the Riverside Coal Transport Company The development will be home to Brisbane’s first Kimpton Hotel which will feature a 200-plus-seat signature restaurant and bar large-scale multipurpose meeting and event spaces as well as an open-air garden terrace complete with infinity pool Ray White economist Nerida Conisbee said labour continued to be a major contributor to the cost of construction and year-on-year increases in wages remained problematic Ms Conisbee said ABS data showed construction costs were starting to rise again now the subject of a Senate inquiry has also contributed to low productivity in the industry,” she said The cost of building a new property now far exceeds the price of an existing property we are already seeing clearly how much higher construction costs are leading to fewer homes being built and higher prices for existing properties,” Ms Conisbee said Teneriffe Festival is an 11-year tradition billing itself as “Brisbane’s biggest street party” and a celebration of the “rich heritage and diverse community that is Teneriffe” Lea Angeles likened scenes at last year’s Teneriffe Festival to a “zombie apocalypse”.Credit: Nick Dent People are pissing in the bushes,” she said “We find little bags of drugs on the

Henley’s is serving Vietnamese-style beers which come with a cylinder of ice to help with dilution Tom stresses that you don’t need to be a fan of Wes Anderson films to enjoy Henley’s envisioning the venue as a multipurpose respite for locals seeking something a little bit offbeat “It’s not a themed place – if you don’t know Wes Anderson part takeaway – aiming to really cater to everyone in this area I just want it to be that weird and wonderful place that you want to tell your friends about.” Henley’s is now open to the public.

The 155-key hotel will feature a number of architecturally designed rooms and suites, plus a marquee suite for celebrities and VIPs. Regarded as a lifestyle hotel, the Kimpton outpost will comprise a 200-seat restaurant and bar on the 14th floor, a wellness spa, fitness centre, infinity pool and multi-purpose event space. Kokoda Property Founder and Managing Director, Mark Stevens says the partnership between developer and hotelier is the perfect match for the precinct and wider city. “The Kimpton brand was the ideal choice for, and will be the centrepiece of, our striking Teneriffe development. The brand’s lifestyle centric positioning, design and playful guest experiences will fit perfectly into this exciting and unique pocket of Brisbane,” he says. “We’re excited to play a part in the transformation of the historic suburb of Teneriffe from its industrial origins into one of the trendiest suburbs of Brisbane. It’s a popular year-round hub for fitness and is set to get even better with Skyring Terrace to connect Brisbane’s famed riverwalk between Teneriffe and New Farm and become the cultural heartbeat of the lively area.” When complete, Skyring Terrace will boast three towers that will consist of 380 apartments and 5,000 sqm of retail, co-working and hospitality offerings, plus the 155-key Kimpton Hotel. The proposed ground floor’s layout is characterised by a large plaza, an extended riverwalk, and multiple laneways to improve pedestrian movement, business activity, and urban vibrancy. Cottee Parker says the riverfront site – the last of its kind in the neighbourhood – will bridge the gap between the historic urban fabric of Teneriffe and the new modern precincts located adjacent.

A collaboration between design partners Cottee Parker Architects, Carr, and Urbis Town Planning and Landscaping, Teneriffe Banks represents the next evolution of Brisbane City, with the precinct to accommodate residential, hotel, commercial, and riverfront dining and retail spaces. Kokoda Property now offers the first glimpse into what life could look like in one of Brisbane’s largest private developments. Teneriffe Banks will comprise five distinct buildings: The Interloom (North and South), The Ferry Building, The Store Houses (North and South) and within them, The Woven Lofts. Set amongst lush gardens and open spaces, Teneriffe Banks connects Skyring Terrace back to the Brisbane River via sprawling laneways including Helen Lane, Wool Lane and Brick Lane. Situated along the Brisbane River, the Teneriffe Banks flagship buildings known collectively as The Interloom are designed to connect the urban landscape with the waterfront. The Interloom South will house a collection of two, three and four-bedroom luxury apartments and penthouses with resort-style common amenities including dining rooms, rooftop pool and spa, and coworking spaces.

The Store Houses North and South will be home to modern warehouse residences known as The Woven Lofts, offering a contemporary interpretation of the iconic Teneriffe warehouse, inspired by the world’s best post-industrial homes. Nestled above The Woven Lofts will sit the fifth collection of homes, The Store Houses, which offer a selection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, and a unique loft apartment masterfully designed to take advantage of both city and river views. “Teneriffe Banks is one of the largest private developments within Brisbane and with that, comes a weight of responsibility.

It will become a global destination where people can meet, connect, and enjoy for generations to come,” said Kokoda Property founder and managing director Mark Stevens.

hence jumped on it straightaway Their grand plan is to transform the property and I will be watching it eagerly,” he said A vibrant palette to match the home’s colourful history who has restored historic homes around the world had sought an opportunity to invest in the Teneriffe Hill pocket for several months “Many of my clients over the last five years have asked about this house since it

people and places Brisbane is talking about breaks $2m average house priceNews Corp Australia Craig and Michelle Purdy at their home in Abercrombie Street in Teneriffe Teneriffe has defied a downturn and global pandemic to become Brisbane’s first $2 million suburb Data from Realestate.com.au reveals the inner-city suburb’s average house price smashed through the elite milestone in June before peaking in July at $2.025 million Yet agents say that after a bumper quarter of sales are on course to overtake Teneriffe as being the most expensive place to live Across the board the increases show that Brisbane’s prestige property market has emerged relatively unscathed from the COVID-19 crisis and may be headed for a sustained period of growth X-shaped home sells for $4.65m the average house price in Teneriffe has risen a whopping $1.35 million Last year the average house price for the suburb was $1.85 million Realestate.com.au chief economist Nerida Conisbee said the fact that Teneriffe was a relatively small suburb on the river helped increase its desirability The wool stores buildings add character to the suburb adjacent to New Farm and with abundant local and nearby amenity also adds to its desirability,” Ms Conisbee said “While we may be in the middle of the first recession in almost three decades the extremely low cost of borrowing and restrictions on how people can spend is leading to increased demand and prices in many of the blue-chip areas of major capital cities Architect designed 15 Abercrombie Street is on sale through Heath Williams “The nature of this recession is such that a typical buyer of properties in Teneriffe has felt little Potential borrowing capacity may have even increased for some due to low borrowing costs and not being able to spend on luxuries like domestic or overseas travel Buyers are proving more inclined to put this extra money into a better home.” Large sales in neighbouring suburbs pushing up average house prices could mean Teneriffe is stripped of its most expensive suburb crown said Teneriffe’s size had helped push up its average price “The thing about Teneriffe is that is as developed as it can be so the market comes down to supply and demand The demand has always been there but the supply is getting tighter and tighter,” he said While Teneriffe has held the title of most expensive suburb for some time leading Ray White estate agent Matt Lancashire said several neighbouring areas could smash through the $2 million average house price barrier once the next quarterly sales results were tallied in December “Those suburbs with the potential to surpass the $2 million mark would be those now transacting in the high one millions Others could be Clayfield and Paddington.” He said while Ascot’s average house price was hovering around $1.5 million there had been some big sales recently that would push that average up in the next quarter a landmark historic property at 14 Sutherland Ave Ray White is selling the apartment at 85 Macquarie Street, Teneriffe so the only factor that could affect the current momentum is a lack of stock coming to market It will be interesting to see what happens.” McGrath estate agent Brett Greensill said it was almost like Teneriffe was designed to be Brisbane’s No.1 suburb REA chief economist Nerida Conisbee said Brisbane’s prestige market has failed to be affected by COVID-19 “I would be surprised if Teneriffe loses its crown I think it’s geographically designed to be the perfect location The only thing holding its average house price back is supply,” Mr Greensill said “There is no further capacity to develop the riverfront and the same goes for the Hill Mr Greensill said while that kept the average house price up it did push buyers unable to find a home in Teneriffe into neighbouring suburbs “In Teneriffe people are really challenging architecture” Craig and Michelle Purdy moved to Teneriffe from an acreage property in Fig Tree Pocket eight years ago and have never looked back who is the executive director of Purdy Developments said you can’t beat Teneriffe if you want a progressive inner-city suburb packed with amenities and a community feel Teneriffe or Newstead and get any service we want,” he said “It’s a beautiful green suburb with more trees than you would expect On the Hill you get the breezes off the river and then there’s the wonderful character that the wool stores bring.” Craig and Michelle Purdy love the living in Teneriffe While there are less than 400 houses in Teneriffe a large number are architecturally designed and you can see the signature stamps of Joe Adsett BVN Donovan Hill and Craig Channon clearly dotted about the suburb Tim Stewart designed the Purdy’s home in Abercrombie St with their stylish suspended fireplace making its way into glossy home magazines “Teneriffe has some stunning homes,” Mr Purdy said “It’s a little bit more conservative in neighbouring parts but in Teneriffe people are really challenging architectural concepts and the top architects are designing some beautiful stuff.” Mr Purdy said he expected an inner-city suburb to be fast-paced and isolated but for Teneriffe that couldn’t be further from the truth “I’m surprised how much of a community the inner city is Everyone is really friendly and there’s a real sense of community “Twenty years ago if you lived in Teneriffe estate agents would say you lived in New Farm – The median property price is $1.962 million for houses; $565,000 for units – There is currently 73 properties on the market and 59 properties available to rent – Houses in Teneriffe rent for $880 a week with an annual rental yield of 2.3 per cent – The suburb is very popular attracting 842 visits per property on listings

Birgit Rauschenbach explains that Volland’s most recent works are the *Früchtchen*, in which „he outlines a piece of fruit in ink, resulting in a painting meant to bring a smile.“ „A unique artist, eccentric, original thinker, idealist, curious, nonconformist, a free verse who abhors mediocrity, transgressive, creative, brilliant, alternative, and so on—until all possible adjectives are exhausted—is how specialized critics describe the prolific German artist,“ says **Sebastián Estévez Pérez**, cultural manager. in the text titled *Ernst Volland, la mirada sardónica* (Ernst Volland, The Sardonic Gaze), which also accompanies the exhibition that will be on display until May 10 at the **Liceo de Taoro** (open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.).   The organizers of the exhibition, **Sebastián Estévez** adds, hope that it will help people understand that „the subversive potential lies within the very nature of art.“ Wenn dir der Artikel gefallen hat, dann teile ihn über Facebook oder Twitter.
