DAVID Kennedy,

owner of globally focused The Lottery Office and touted as a possible buyer of the Gold Coast’s most expensive apartment, has struck some winning numbers at Burleigh Heads.

The 52-year-old Kiwi in 2020 paid $4.6 million for a full-floor apartment in then-new building Luna, which overlooks the ocean in Goodwin Tce, and has sold it for

$7.25 million. David, who’s been chasing $30 million or so for a beachfront home at Mermaid Beach, has been suggested as the person paying $24 million for a twofloor apartment in the rising threelevel Glasshouse building, also in Goodwin Tce.

Developer Spyre says the Glasshouse buyer is a woman who has paid a $4.8 million deposit.

TONY Hand, who as an expat lived in Hong Kong for many years, has set out to make a near $3 million gain on a Sanctuary Cove home he bought less than two years ago. Tony bought the property, on the point in Riverside Drive and at one time owned by motorcycle champion Casey Stoner, for $11 million less than two years ago and is hoping to achieve $13,995,000. That buy came on the heels of him

buying a blue-chip Broadbeach Waters site for $5.15 million with intentions of building a home. He flicked the 2727 sqm waterfront lot eight months later to Jessica Puljich, wife of GemLife over-50s resort operator exec Anthony Puljich. SCOTT Crow, a former AFL player who has turned Melbourne developer, has spent $11.5 million assembling a Broadbeach site on which he plans a

33-level tower. Scott, who played for Hawthorn and Collingwood, won development approval a fortnight before Christmas for the curvy tower, which will have 203 apartments, but he has yet to reveal a name for it or a starting date. The 50-year-old assembled three properties, one of them a 49-year-old unit block, which make up a 1750 sqm holding close to the Gold Coast Highway.
