Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping business, investment and competitive advantage, and now Australia’s property industry is being told it cannot afford to sit on the sidelines. 

International keynote speaker and AI strategist Justin Kabbani will headline the Kanebridge Property Summit at RACA Sydney on June 18, bringing rare insight into how forward-thinking property professionals can use AI to move faster, make smarter decisions and gain a serious edge in an increasingly competitive market.

Tickets to the exclusive summit are already selling fast. 

Having worked with global brands including Uber, PepsiCo, Mattel and Destination NSW, Kabbani has become one of the leading voices on how businesses can turn AI from a buzzword into a genuine commercial advantage. 

Known for his high-energy and highly practical presentations, Kabbani cuts through the hype surrounding AI and focuses on what actually matters: productivity, growth, leadership and real-world business results. 

His keynote will explore how AI is already transforming industries globally, and what property developers, investors, agents and business leaders need to understand now to avoid being left behind. 

Importantly, the session is designed to be practical, not theoretical. 

Attendees will hear how AI can be applied across marketing, sales, operations and decision-making to improve efficiency, sharpen strategy and create new competitive advantages in a rapidly changing business environment. 

The summit will also feature an exclusive roundtable bringing together leading property and finance experts for a candid, off-the-record Q&A exploring the forces shaping investment, development and wealth creation across Australia’s prestige property market. 

The event follows the success of last year’s sold-out summit and will once again be hosted by respected MC John Alten. 

With AI becoming one of the biggest disruptors facing business, the June 18 summit is expected to attract strong interest from property professionals, investors and business leaders looking to stay ahead of the curve. 

The followings are included in every ticket:

  • Full access to keynote sessions and the interactive roundtable.
  • Premium selection of canapés and beverages throughout the evening.
  • Complimentary annual digital subscription to two leading publications (Wall Street Journal and Kanebridge Quarterly), providing essential coverage of local and global markets, property trends and investment strategy.

Development of the Week: Otium Brings a New Level of Calm to Bellevue Hill

Luxury in Bellevue Hill has traditionally been measured through land, elevation and harbour outlooks. At Ōtium, a boutique residential development taking shape at 206B Victoria Road, the defining quality is quieter: a sense of separation from the city without leaving Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

Positioned above Cooper Park, the development turns away from the movement of Victoria Road and towards the reserve’s dense green canopy. Its north-western rear orientation has been designed to capture natural light, parkland views and the Sydney skyline beyond.

The result is a collection of residences conceived around privacy, space and a close connection with the surrounding landscape.

Award-winning architecture practice MHN Design Union has designed the building, using its elevated setting to establish a distinctly different outlook from many of Bellevue Hill’s apartment developments. Rather than treating the park as a distant backdrop, the architecture draws it into the residences through broad openings, private terraces and living spaces oriented towards the trees.

The Victoria Road elevation uses brickwork to give the building a grounded, enduring street presence. To the rear, the architecture becomes more open, with the residences extending towards private outdoor areas overlooking Cooper Park.

Inside, Ennen & Co has developed a warm and restrained material palette influenced by the building’s architectural forms and natural setting. Clean lines are offset by stronger moments of colour and texture, including deep green tiling, natural stone, marble and bespoke joinery.

The approach is deliberately understated. Instead of relying on conspicuous finishes, the interiors have been designed as a flexible backdrop for furniture, art and the individual preferences of each owner.

Ōtium comprises just eight homes; a garden residence, six upper-level residences and an expansive penthouse. The garden residence offers the most direct relationship with the landscaping, while the penthouse takes advantage of the development’s elevation with views across the parkland canopy towards the city.

A communal rooftop terrace provides another perspective over Bellevue Hill and Sydney. The space has been planned for quiet morning use as well as private gatherings, giving residents access to an elevated outdoor area beyond their individual terraces.

Construction is being undertaken by Ultra Building Co for developer Concretive. Ultra describes the development as a $16 million project and says its work has focused on natural stone, custom joinery, bespoke tiling, acoustic and thermal performance, and carefully resolved transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The location places residents close to several distinct neighbourhood centres. Bellevue Road Village provides local cafés, shops and daily services, while Plumer Road, Double Bay and Bondi Junction extend the dining, retail and transport options. Cooper Park itself offers walking trails and tennis courts, with Sydney’s eastern beaches and the Royal Sydney Golf Club also within easy reach.

It is a location that allows daily life to remain highly connected while creating a more secluded atmosphere at home.

Ōtium is being marketed by Ray White Double Bay Projects, with agent Daniel Ungar noting the development’s strong appeal among buyers.

“Ōtium has resonated strongly with buyers because it offers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find in Bellevue Hill, generous, house-like proportions, privacy and a genuine connection to nature, without the maintenance of a freestanding home,” Ungar says

Above Cooper Park, Ōtium makes stillness itself part of the proposition, an increasingly valuable quality in one of Sydney’s most tightly held residential markets. It offers the security and lower-maintenance qualities of apartment living, but with larger interiors, private terraces and a natural outlook more commonly associated with a freestanding home.
