Reply To: Deal to buy unused space approved then blocked

I have since sold up some years ago and moved elsewhere, and as far as I am aware that plot of void unused land still sits as vacant as the day the apartment block was built in 1959 on prime harbour real estate in Sydney. The old folk owner/residents have all passed on, and the newer owners were poisoned by the ‘crusty old solicitor’ bad mouthing me. His initial objection to the building work was that placing a window (the size of a car windscreen) in the rear wall would cause the building to collapse. Despite my obtaining a structural engineers report, my representations were useless.

Since the building is getting on a bit in years now, I expect a developer will come along and pull down the current building and put a newer one up which will use the available land to better advantage. BTW it was a company title apartment block.
