Last night in Melbourne, the launch of what was one of the most extravagant marketing campaigns to sell an apartment in Australian property history took place.
According to The Age, three celebrity chefs, including George Calombaris, star of Masterchef, held a special cooking demonstration using the twin kitchens to the penthouse apartment of The Melbournian, an exclusive apartment block on Melbourne’s St Kilda Road.
Apparently about 50 guests attended the launch to check out the ritzy pad, which has a private roof garden, a heated lap pool and an observation deck. The paper says that model Kasia Zachwieja has been used in one of the two YouTube films that have been shot to promote the sale.
The apartment, which sold off the plan for $5 million in 2000, is expected to fetch more than $10 million.
Now this is obviously a pretty special property, so it would attract a big price tag in any economy, providing the right buyer fell in love with it.
But the fact that the agents are prepared to pump so much money into the marketing campaign shows that property experts are convinced that the rich are ready to spend again.
And that’s yet another sign that economic recovery is getting closer.

This is an example of a real estate company with a brain and who understand how to look after a rich client.
This video is slick, professionally produced, and can be viewed from anywhere around the world.
A real estate (licensed IPA) company I do some work for has been doing this for 3 years … youtube videos … it is the future in selling real estate … especially if you live in Perth and are buying in say Hamilton Island as an example ….
21st century advertising … any real estate agent NOT doing this has rocks in thier heads, leave the desk and buy a digital camera and learn how to up load it into youtube.
