A racquetball court, a swimming pool with an outdoor cinema screen, an assembly of wellness amenities and a professional gym – it’s a home befitting a fitness heavyweight who loves to dabble in property.
Danny Pavlovich, CEO and founder of Nutrition Systems and former elite bodybuilder, alongside his wife Suzi, have just listed their contemporary Perth trophy home as they prepare to move into another bigwig’s mansion.
The Pavlovichs’ Nedlands compound is surplus to the supplement founder’s needs after the high-profile pair spent $27.5 million in 2020 on the Dalkeith mansion once owned by disgraced entrepreneur Alan Bond.
A one-time professional athlete, Pavlovich has grown Nutrition Systems – Australia and New Zealand’s largest importer and distributor of premium sports and nutritional supplements – into a global brand offering more than 1800 products across speciality stores, grocery, pharmacy, convenience, and online channels.
Pavlovich said that stepping away from the home he has shared with his wife and two children is “bittersweet”, but the couple were invested in redeveloping in Dalkeith.
“We built something truly special, but we love building at this level,” he said.
“My family and I love this house. We use every space; there is no wasted area. It was purpose-built for us. You can lock up and leave; it offers full remote smart control. The view from my office is a highlight, and the fully equipped gym and wellness facilities were essential from the outset.”
Although there is no public record of what the couple paid for 37 Esplanade, Vivienne Yap of Ray White Dalkeith/Claremont has listed the property via a private treaty campaign for $20 million.
“This property redefines luxury living in Perth,” Yap said.
“From its unprecedented scale to its seamless, fully integrated Savant and Lutron smart-home technology, it represents a truly rare offering in the blue-chip riverfront precinct.”
On a 1407sq m riverfront block along the tightly-held Esplanade in exclusive Nedlands, the five-bedroom, five-bathroom home spans three levels and is connected by a private elevator while being surveilled by 16 security cameras.
Built in 2018 to be the ultimate Perth entertainer, the prestige property has vast open-plan living and dining zones inside, with resort-style amenities outside.
There is a sunken alfresco lounge and outdoor kitchen with a nine-seater teppanyaki grill beside the heated white mosaic saltwater pool. More than just a backyard swimming hole, the pool features LED water features and fountains, plus a cinema wall and a spa.
Additional entertaining features include a cinema with a Steinway Lyngdorf 9.2 Aura surround sound system, a cocktail lounge with a video wall, a billiards room, a steam room, an infrared sauna, a full gymnasium, and a private racquetball court.
Upstairs, the whole-floor primary retreat is home to a sitting area, a kitchenette, a grand dressing room, and a lavish hotel-style ensuite.
All bathrooms have heated floors and towel rails, while the main living zones also have hydronic heated flooring.
Designed with a long list of high-tech features, the modern mansion has 16 security cameras with infrared and motion detection, a temperature-controlled server room, automated window furnishings, a smart home system controlled via a Savant and Lutron platform, and a whole-home water filtration system.
The property, which also has secure garaging for up to six cars, sits opposite Charles Court Reserve and Nedlands Jetty and is a short walk from Nedlands Tennis Club and Nedlands Golf Club.
The expansive property at 37 Esplanade, Nedlands, is listed with Vivien Yap at Ray White Dalkeith/Claremont, with a price expectation of $20 million.

Office rents in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are climbing at their fastest pace since the pandemic as tenants compete for premium CBD space amid tightening supply.

Australia’s major CBD office markets are recording some of their strongest rental growth since the pandemic, with businesses increasingly prioritising premium office space despite elevated geopolitical and economic uncertainty.
Knight Frank’s Australian Office Indicators Q1 2026 report found net effective rents in Sydney and Melbourne CBDs rose at their fastest annual pace since COVID-19, increasing 10.2 per cent and 6.8 per cent respectively over the 12 months to March.
Brisbane posted the strongest growth nationally, with net effective rents climbing 11.7 per cent over the same period.
The report points to a widening divide between prime CBD office towers and secondary office stock, as occupiers increasingly focus on quality, location and workplace amenity when making leasing decisions.
Knight Frank Senior Economist, Research & Consulting Alistair Read said demand remained heavily concentrated in premium assets within core CBD precincts, helping drive stronger rental growth in top-tier buildings.
“Occupier demand continues to be heavily concentrated in the most desirable CBD precincts and the highest-quality buildings, accelerating a sharp divergence between core and non-core markets,” Mr Read said.
According to the report, Sydney’s Core precinct and Melbourne’s Eastern Core significantly outperformed broader CBD markets over the past year.
“In Sydney’s Core precinct and Melbourne’s Eastern Core, net effective rents surged 14.3% and 16.1% over the past year, significantly outperforming the rest-of-CBD precincts,” Mr Read said.
The rental gap between prime and non-prime office locations has also continued to widen sharply.
“As a result, core CBD rents are now 54% higher than non-core locations in Sydney and 93% higher in Melbourne, highlighting the growing premium placed on amenity, accessibility and workplace quality,” he said.
Knight Frank said the strong rental growth across the major CBDs was being underpinned by a limited supply pipeline, with few new office developments expected to be delivered in the near term.
Mr Read said subdued construction activity was likely to support ongoing rental growth and tighter vacancy rates over the medium term, particularly for premium office towers.
“The combination of sustained demand and declining levels of new development will aid ongoing prime rental growth and lower vacancy rates over the medium term, particularly for best-in-class assets,” he said.
The report noted that current economic conditions were making new office developments increasingly difficult to justify financially.
“Economic rents remain well above expected market rents, making the construction of new office towers largely unviable, and concentrating tenant demand into existing buildings,” Mr Read said.
While suburban office markets generally remained subdued compared with CBDs, Melbourne’s Southbank precinct was identified as a relative outperformer, recording annual net effective rental growth of 2.7 per cent.
The report comes as broader Asia-Pacific office markets continue to stabilise following several years of disruption linked to hybrid work trends, inflation and rising interest rates.
Knight Frank’s separate Asia-Pacific Q1 2026 Office Highlights report found Sydney and Brisbane were among the strongest-performing office rental markets in the region, behind only Bengaluru and Tokyo for annual prime net face rental growth.
The Asia-Pacific report also found 18 of the 24 cities monitored across the region recorded stable or increasing rents in the first quarter of 2026, even as geopolitical uncertainty intensified following escalating conflict in the Middle East.
