Buildcorp exec Jordan Sukkar and his pilates queen wife, Bernadette, have listed their Double Bay home for spring sale and it comes with a feature that’s bound to win over a buyer.

The property is listed with Raine and Horne Double Bay gun Alex Lyons, who’s predicting a “spring boom”.

The Sukkars, who wed last November in a celeb-packed ceremony with guests including Jasmine and Karl Stefanovic and Merivale owner Justin Hemmes and his partner Madeline Holtznagel, are planning to upsize from the Manning Rd residence bought for $5m in 2021.

They look to have done nothing much to it, except obtain development approval for a remarkable million-dollar transformation into a designer dream home with double-height ceilings.

64 Manning Rd, Double Bay is perfectly liveable as it is …

… but it comes with approved plans for a million-dollar transformation that would make it a $10m-plus residence.

The four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence with double garage has a guide of $5.25m for a September 23 auction.

“The house is perfectly liveable as it is, but they’d planned to open it up a bit to create more space,” Lyons said.

“I think if the buyer proceeds with those plans, once it’s finished the house would be in the double digits, $10m-plus.”

The house has been on the market for just 12 days, but Lyons is already fielding inquiries from owner occupiers, investors and flippers.

“That part of Double Bay has a lot of potential,” Lyons said.

“Once Double Bay is finished, in terms of office buildings and restaurants, that pocket will see a lot of capital growth.”

Jordan Sukkar is the chief operating officer of Buildcorp while Bernadette Sukkar, nee Fahey, owns Bondi’s popular Body by Berner pilates studio.

Jordan is from one of Sydney’s wealthiest families — his parents, Josephine and Tony, founded the $500m construction business in 1990.

Says Lyons: “They’ve had the big wedding, they love it there, but they’re looking for a bit more space as they grow the family.”

He thinks that Sydney is headed for a “spring boom”.

“The market’s the best I’ve seen it since the post-Covid boom,” Lyons said.

“Our Saturday opens have been the busiest since then.

“It’s still very price sensitive, but there are a lot more people out there making decisions and it seems like a bit of a spring boom.”
