Lume to change Kangaroo Point NEWSTEAD based developer DevCorp is releasing a premium lifestyle project that will forever change the residential landscape of Kangaroo Point. Lume is the vision of DevCorp managing director Murray Thornton, a carpenter by trade who evolved as a hands-on developer wanting to deliver a new standard of residential developments built on unparalleled design and quality construction. Since Mr Thornton established DevCorp in 2001, the company has become renowned for executing specialist subdivisions and multistorey developments that carry the company ethos – Designed for Life. Lume is no exception. The 13-storey luxury apartment tower will rise from three amalgamated land parcels, one of which housed a historic workers cottage circa 1911. As a condition of the Development Approval, the house was salvaged, relocated to Hendra, tastefully refurbished and extended to form a five-bedroom family home. Mr Thornton said the old workers cottage was full of charm and character and the company had no qualms about saving its historic values. “The Brisbane City Council changed

To register, Lume.com.au or 1800 478 477 its ruling to allow the relocation of heritage-listed buildings to another character area,” Mr Thornton said. “We are one of the first developers to relocate a building under the new legislation.” Lume is set to command a unique view from its position in Kangaroo Point – taking in The Gabba, South Bank, botanic gardens, Brisbane CBD, Story Bridge and the cliffs below New Farm. Built specifically for the owneroccupier, Lume has luxe penthouses and executive one, two and three bedroom apartments.
BELLE Property New Farm has opened on Brunswick Street after buying one of the peninsula’s longest-running real estate agencies, Raine and Horne New Farm Belle Property New Farm Principle, Ivo Kornel, who has been a successful agent on the peninsula for many years, said he was excited with the new business opportunity and about working with Lee Paul who operated Raine and Horne New Farm for 30 years. “I was always conscious of not opening up ‘another’ real estate office if I ever had the opportunity, the last thing this area needs is another real estate firm breathing down your neck,” said Ivo. “When I heard that the unmovable Lee Paul was considering pulling up stumps, I called and next thing I knew we were shaking hands. “I would like to congratulate Lee for flourishing for almost 30 summers in this business. When she started in this business it was a man’s world, so I am pleased to give credit where credit is due.” Lee is staying on in the business in both a selling and property management capacity. “She is ‘still’ the boss and is a great source of wisdom and education,” said Ivo. “We’ve had a fantastic start selling almost $6 million in the first month, and I would also like to welcome Richard Barlow into the business as a salesman,” he added. Belle Property New Farm is a boutique brand that prides itself on stylish, elegant and strategic marketing. The brand is heavily focused on ethical and moral business dealings and this will be again the focus of the new office.
