Metricon director sells $19m Noosa pad to top public servant in secret deal

One of the country’s top public servants has emerged as the $19m buyer of a home in Noosa that was owned by a Metricon director.

A property in Noosa’s exclusive Little Cove has sold offmarket for $19m in one of the biggest sales of the year in Queensland.

ONE of the country’s top public servants has emerged as the $19m buyer of a home in Noosa’s exclusive Little Cove precinct that was owned by a director of Metricon Homes.

In one of Queensland’s biggest sales of the year, Alison Tarditi and her partner, Andrew Leyden, who runs financial advisory firm, Lazard Australia, have been revealed to have bought the property in the tightly-held Allambi Rise in Noosa Heads.

Records show the house was built in 2008 and last changed hands 24 years ago when Metricon’s Ross Palazzesi bought it for just $2.1m.

As a result, little is known about the home and there are few photos available.

Mr Palazzesi was appointed Metricon’s acting executive chairman after the death of company founder and chief executive officer Mario Biasin earlier this year.

In August, Mr Palazzesi also put his Melbourne apartment on the market with a $2.95m asking price.

Ms Tarditi is the chief investment officer for the $60bn superannuation fund for public servants, the Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation.

She was also the chair of the long-term investing council for the World Economic Forum between 2014 and 2020 and remains on the council.

The views from Allambi Rise in Little Cove are pretty special.

The offmarket deal quietly took place in September through Tom Offermann Real Estate.

Little Cove is a small development bordered by Noosa National Park and Noosa Main Beach, and is just minutes from the famous Hastings Street.
