The sports enthusiast, bookie and author has appointed boutique architect firm Rothelowman to dream a new future for the 1,629 square metre site, which has a 41 metre frontage to Toorak Road, and is on the south-eastern corner of Cunningham Street.
 
The proposed development is expected to rise no higher than ten levels, and could include more than 100 apartments as well as offices, and ground floor retail, capitalising on the site’s high profile position opposite the Como Centre, and near the busy corner of Chapel Street.

The project is expected to have an end value of more than $70 million.
 
Mr Rothfield’s development proposal comes three months after the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal approved a $150 million, 38-level, 204-unit apartment building for the Capitol Bakeries site, on the corner of Toorak Road and Chapel Street.
 
The construction company of Toll Holdings chief executive Paul Little is also proposing apartments for a former ANZ office at 227 – 233 Toorak Road, while several major developments are under construction in the former industrial pocket of South Yarra, immediately east of the train station, and bound by Melbourne High School and Chapel Street.
