Sydney’s Macquarie Park has continued to prove lucrative for homeowners after another 55 owners sold their four apartment blocks in one line for $80 million. The large combined 5130-square-metre site at 15-21 Cottonwood Crescent, opposite AMP Capital ’s Macquarie Centre, went to a local developer with offshore backing. Macquarie Park , one of Sydney’s biggest business parks , is undergoing massive residential conversion and urban renewal. While each owner in the deal would have received a different price, the average across the mostly two- bedroom apartments sold would have been about $1.4 million. This beats the current market price for those units at just under $1 million each, realising a profit of just under 40 per cent on average for each owner. Some owners bought their units back in the 1980s for about $70,000 each.

In the summer of 1995, Doug Robb and his friends snuck into Agoura High School in the middle of the night. Dressed in all black, they found the set of portable stages their alma mater used for its commencement ceremonies and wheeled them through a dirt track and onto the beds of pickup trucks they’d borrowed for the occasion. The next day, they set up the foldout stages in Robb’s parents’ backyard to play their first show as Hoobastank, a metal- influenced band they’d formed about six months prior. Robb eventually returned the stages to the school, but not before using them during a massive rager that attracted teens and 20-somethings from all over the area. Among them were the then-unknown members of Incubus and Linkin Park—bands that, along with Hoobastank, would go on to produce some of the biggest hits of the next century. What could’ve easily been just another house party thrown by bored kids in a wealthy LA suburb turned out to be the beginning of a rock-music scene that was...
