Jennifer Hawkins' $30 million mega-mansion north of Sydney appears to be nearing completion - and will be worth $45 million when it's done.
Situated in the A-list coastal getaway of Whale Beach, 41 km from the CBD, work on the sprawling clifftop property began five years ago.
Now, new photos reveal that the 42-year-old former Miss Universe and her husband, Jake Wall, have finished building large sections of the main residence.
Based on aerial photos of the site, the completed work includes a manicured garden, pool deck and a basketball half court.
There is also what appears to be an infinity pool installed on the edge of the property, which features an amazing outlook over the Central Coast.
Glass walls have been installed on the four-level home on the double block, and the roofing appears to be sealed.
The photos also show that further work on the site is underway on a terraced section adjacent to the main dwelling.
Real estate insiders estimate that the massive pad will be worth an eye-watering $45 million on completion, the Daily Telegraph reported this week.
Hawkins and her husband offloaded the property last year for a reported $30 million in an off-market sale to an unknown buyer.
Jake Wall's company, J Group Projects, is behind the project.
While Wall is overseeing the development, local sources confirm a private sale of the lavish property took place directly with a neighbour in September 2025.
Property records now show a company owned by purchaser David Appleby lodged the caveat for the site.
He has also begun demolition work at a nearby lot he also owns, to expand the already massive Whale Beach estate.
Although agents say Wall has been 'respectful' of neighbours during construction, there have been multiple complaints from locals about disruption and blocked driveways.
The Whale Beach neighbourhood is a highly sought-after area in one of Sydney's most exclusive suburbs, with almost half the homes boasting sweeping ocean views.
Since demolition on the Hawkins site began in 2021, several neighbouring properties have changed hands, though it's unclear if the sales are connected to the ongoing construction.
Images and reports show utes and trucks frequently blocking the narrow street, making off-road parking difficult.
Some owners have claimed their driveways were obstructed for hours during construction.
In 2024, it was reported that Whale Beach locals were furious with the ongoing development as the 'constant stream of trucks' continued to block the narrow street and park for 'hours on end'.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, residents in the surrounding homes were reeling, and one neighbour had his driveway blocked 'on several occasions' for hours.
Meanwhile, another local claimed their front lawn had been damaged by cement mixers.
On top of that, the noise coming from renovations was said to be a constant disruption to what once was the quietest corner of the peaceful suburb.
