The Sydney City Tattersalls Club redevelopment is moving ahead with a detailed development plan now lodged for a $762 million tower complete with hotel and upscale apartments.
The proposed 50-storey tower will house a 101-room hotel and 241 apartments, as well as the regeneration of the Club’s quarters including new retail, upgraded lower bar and grill, new restaurants, a commercial fitness centre and event spaces.
Pending approval by the City of Sydney later this year, construction will begin in 2022 with completion expected in 2026.
The project is being led by Singapore-based First Sponsor Group and local developer ICD Property, the latter brought in by the City Tattersalls Club more than five years ago.

“The significance of this redevelopment to our members and a CBD that is very much in need of reactivating is indescribable,” said Marcelo Veloz, group chief executive at City Tattersalls.
An earlier proposal for the site was denied by the NSW Land and Environment Court – citing heritage grounds – three years ago

Idaho is not a place that’s often associated with Medieval castles, but a pair have just hit the market for $6.25 million.
The imposing stone structures have towers, turrets, ramparts, arrow-slit windows and even a drawbridge, and might just be the most authentic-looking castles this side of the Atlantic.
“Who expects to see a castle like this in Idaho?” said listing agent Brenda Burk of Coldwell Banker Schneidmiller Realty, who brought the property to the market last week. They are, she said, “extremely unusual.”
Schweitzer Castle and Château de Melusine, as they’re known, stand within Schweitzer Mountain Resort in the Selkirk Mountains and overlook the nearby mountain resort town of Sandpoint. They take in panoramic views of Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho’s largest lake.
The pair of ski-in/ski-out homes each have three bedrooms, two bathrooms and three stories, Burk explained. They are “so authentic,” she said. “Every single stone was handlaid.”
Schweitzer Castle, she said, wasn’t built for “functionality,” but has been modernized and adapted and now has everything a 21st-century residence requires, along with a dungeon, which for some buyers may also be a requisite.
The chateau, meanwhile, has a hot tub room with mountain views, as well as a garage.
The property is being sold furnished, and will come complete with the hand-carved statues, armor, mounted swords, stained-glass windows and a host of antiques dating to the 15th and 16th centuries.
The owner, an antique collector who couldn’t be reached for comment, “is always looking for that hidden jewel and he found that here,” Burk said.
The next custodian is likely to stem from a varied pool of buyers, Burk said, that would include “the trophy-home buyer, someone who can say ‘I own a castle.’”
The property could also appeal to someone looking for a vacation home, or a multi-generational estate, and beyond that “there’s the dreamers,” she said. “We definitely try to market to people who like Medieval history or maybe do Renaissance fairs.”
The seller “really wants it to go to someone with the same passion.”
