A 16.6-Acre Parcel in Queensland, Australia, Lists for A$20 Million
In Australia, a 16.6-acre parcel in Palm Cove, Queensland, that has been approved for apartments, a hotel and further subdivision, is being marketed to buyers with plans for a private family retreat for A$20 million (US$13.8 million). The site has been held by Singapore’s wealthy Ho family, headed by brothers Whye Chung Ho and Whye Tong Ho, since 1993. The first tried to sell it for A$20 million in 2014 and again in 2019, but withdrew the listing during the pandemic. The Ho brothers have been investing in commercial and residential properties in Australia since the early 1980s. Domain
