Croatia 2023: An Unforgettable Journey with NGU
Each year, NGU Real Estate treats its top performers to an extraordinary overseas adventure. For this year's getaway, we chose the enchanting country of Croatia as our destination, and it exceeded all expectations, creating indelible memories for our incredible team. From the moment we arrived in Croatia, the team was spellbound by the country's natural splendour and rich history. We explored picturesque coastal towns with their crystalline waters and quaint old town streets, immersing ourselves in the delectable local cuisine and savouring Croatia's unique flavours. Yet, this trip was about more than just sightseeing; it was an opportunity for the team to truly connect. Laughter filled the air, cheers resonated, stories were shared, and support was extended, both in work and leisure. This holiday not only fortified professional relationships but also forged lifelong friendships. And the excitement continues. NGU has already set its sights on next year's destination: the enchanting island of Mykonos in Greece, followed by another visit to Croatia's breathtaking beauty. The team is bubbling with anticipation, knowing that even more unforgettable experiences await. Prepare yourselves for the next chapter in NGU's journey. Expect more awe-inspiring destinations, more enduring memories, and more opportunities for growth and camaraderie. With NGU, the possibilities are limitless, and the adventures are boundless.

Luxury double-storey penthouse sells in new pet-friendly complex
A New York-style penthouse in this southeast Queensland suburb has sold for a multi-million dollar price overnight. The double-storey penthouse at 1303/37 Archer St, Toowong sold for a whopping $3.075 million. It was the first time the penthouse had hit the market since its recent development as part of Centra Toowong. According to CoreLogic, the sale is one of the top three unit prices ever achieved in the suburb. The four-bedroom, fivebathroom penthouse has a nine-car garage. The pet-friendly 14-storey building also has a rooftop deck with a pool and spa. There are five bathrooms, so every bedroom has an ensuite, all with white marble vanities, as well as a walk-in wardrobe. NGU Real Estate principal Emil Juresic said he did not get home until after midnight last night, as the seller lived at Coolangatta. “ The buyers live at Indooroopilly and the seller at the coast, so I had to jump in the car and make it happen,” Mr Juresic said. “The sellers, who have two kids, bought a luxury home in March but because they travel a lot for business they wanted a property with no maintenance.” Mr Juresic said the sale price was testament to the suburb’s appeal. “I haven’t seen anything like this in the Toowong area,” he said. “This apartment has that New York feel to it. It’s only eight months old and was owned by the construction manager who has decided to live on the coast rather than in Brisbane.” Mr Juresic said the seller was “over the moon” as the property was sold above his expectations. Floor-to-ceiling glass means thespectacular aspect is appreciated from every metre of the floorplan. “The views are to die for,” Mr Juresic said. “This building is walking distance to the trainstation and local shopping centre.” He said the large private balcony was arguably the most impressive outdoor entertaining space in Brisbane.

home dubbed the “Versace of Brisbane’’ was the most viewed property in Qld this week
[caption id="attachment_56381" align="aligncenter" width="962"] Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the view at 53 Wendell St, Norman Park.[/caption] A NORMAN Park home, which has been described as the “Versace of Brisbane’’ was viewed by more prospective buyers online than any other property in Queensland this week. The extravagant six-storey house at 53 Wendell St, Norman Park, was inspired by the owners’ international travels. It was built less than three years ago with the brief at the time to capture city views from all angles. The five-bedroom home has six bathrooms, a nine person lift, swimming pool and two spas. The main bedroom occupies an entire floor plus there is a cellar, outdoor shower and theatre, gas fire pit and outdoor barbecue. Marketing agent Emil Juresic of NGU Real Estate said the home was so “sublime” it was hard to find the right words to describe it. “I’ve sold a large volume of luxury homes but this one is on another level and has to be one of the best homes in Australia,’’ he said. The second most viewed home on realestate.com.au this week was a 79 Ocean Pde, Burleigh Heads. [caption id="attachment_56382" align="alignnone" width="995"] 79 Ocean Pde, Burleigh Heads.
