Infrastructure developments, both public or private, always drive demand to the suburb in questions. And with increased demand comes price growth.

Auburn, a small multicultural suburb on the fringe of the Parramatta CBD, looks set to become the next Western Sydney hotspot for significant uplift. This momentum follows the NSW Government’s approval to redevelop Auburn Village—the central shopping precinct adjacent to the train station.

The proposed mixed-use development will feature three new residential towers comprising 359 apartments, above a fully redeveloped commercial and retail precinct that includes hospitality venues and a new public plaza.

The project is being hailed as a cornerstone in Auburn’s transformation into a connected, amenity-rich urban centre.

Cumberland Council’s planning framework has been pivotal in shaping the redevelopment. By promoting affordable housing and integrated mixed-use precincts, the council is actively fostering diversity, sustainability, and accessibility—all key drivers of growing interest in the surrounding residential areas.

Set to benefit from the lifestyle uplift brought by the upgraded transport hub and retail offering—as well as the expected appreciation in property values—are purchasers in <a href="/new-apartments/north-village-auburn-square-35-northumberland-road-auburn-nsw-2144">North Village</a>, the newly launched stage of Auburn Square by developer Tian An LFD.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149184 project_image_fid=324855]

Following the successful sell-out of stage one across the road, Tian An recently launched North Village to strong demand, with 25 per cent of apartments sold at the public launch.

Ray White WS Projects Managing Director Mark Bernberg said interest in North Village is being fuelled by its central location, trusted delivery partners, and standout buyer protections.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149184 project_image_fid=324853]

Designed by acclaimed architecture firm Rothelowman, the development will deliver 264 smart-tech enabled one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, along with a suite of resident amenities including a gym, cinema, and rooftop garden. A Coles supermarket will anchor the ground-floor retail space.

North Village, currently under construction by iCIRT-rated builder Binah, is expected to be completed by late 2027. It is also the only new development in Auburn to offer the highly sought-after 10-year Latent Defects Insurance, protecting purchasers against structural and waterproofing defects for a full decade after completion.

Growth slated for Auburn with shopping centre redevelopment greenlit

Western Sydney developer ALAND set its sights on Gosford just over two years ago, when it secured a prime site on the corner of two of Gosford's best-located streets.

They went about creating <a href="/new-apartments/archibald-by-aland-gosford-108-donnison-street-gosford-nsw-2250">Archibald by ALAND</a>, a mixed-use development comprising both apartments and luxury hotel rooms.

In early 2023, <a href="/developers/aland">ALAND</a> put the shovel in the ground, less than 12 months after purchasing the 5,656 sqm block of land on the corner of Mann and Denison Streets.

After 18 months of building, ALAND Construction has now topped out the two towers, with the honourable NSW Premier Chris Minns the first to congratulate the team at the recent topping out ceremony.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=215487]

Named after Archibald Acheson, the second Earl of Gosford, Archibald by ALAND features 327 apartments, a 130-room voco® hotel, and six hospitality venues, including the Central Coast’s highest rooftop bar.

Over 95 per cent of the apartments in the development have already sold, marking the project one of the most successful across Greater Sydney for a number of years.

<a href="/developers/aland">ALAND</a> Founder and Owner Andrew Hrsto says the building’s distinctive curved façade was inspired by the white sails often seen on nearby Brisbane Water, a magnet for water sport enthusiasts of all types.

“We wanted to capture the energy and natural beauty of the Central Coast,” Hrsto said.

“The public spaces, apartments and guest rooms also channel that relaxed, coastal lifestyle vibe but with a splash of European sophistication.”

The building is going to contribute significantly to the wider Gosford community with a ground-floor pub with pizzeria and pasta bar, a signature restaurant on level five and a rooftop bar on level 28. Each of the food and beverage tenancies are being curated by top Sydney chef, Dany Karam.

Archibald by ALAND residents will have access to a swimming pool with swimup bar, cleverly located on an outdoor podium level, as well as a state-of-the-art gym.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208153]

Hrsto says the $375m Archibald Precinct will not only bring new life and employment to Gosford’s downtown area, but also help to reposition the city as the state’s newest tourist and conference destination.

“There is nothing like this in <a href="/developments/gosford-nsw-2250">Gosford</a>,” he says.

“voco® Gosford will appeal to Sydneysiders looking for a short break, the corporate and conference market and general travelers who want to explore the Central Coast.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208142]

Even before its completion,&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/archibald-by-aland-gosford-108-donnison-street-gosford-nsw-2250">Archibald by ALAND</a> was named Australia’s Best Mixed-Use Development at the 2024 Asia Pacific Property Awards.

ALAND CEO George Tadrosse says the Archibald Precinct will do more than just transform the nighttime economy of Gosford, helping to reposition the city as a major new tourism and conference destination.

“Gosford has so much to offer the visitor, such nearby Brisbane Water, magnificent national parks and a string of beautiful beaches,” he said.

“Being located between Sydney and Newcastle, Gosford is also very accessible for both domestic and international visitors.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=215491]

Tadrosse says that the Archibald Precinct complements the other major developments, such as the new $63.8m University of Newcastle campus, that are helping to revive the local Gosford economy.

“The six new bars and restaurants are going to bring locals back into the city, while the conference facilities and grand ballroom will provide a venue for events that Gosford has never been able to host before."

Once it is up-and-running, voco® Gosford will employ over 200 people, creating exciting new opportunities for local people who want to pursue a career in catering, hospitality or event management.

“This is the beginning a great new chapter for Gosford,” Tadrosse added.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=134670]

ALAND Founder and Owner Andrew Hrsto said “There is nothing like this in Gosford."

ALAND top out Archibald by ALAND in Gosford

Sydney developer ALAND has announced a partnership with IHG Hotels &amp; Resorts for voco Gosford to be the hotel component of their Gosford apartment development, Archibald by ALAND.

The mixed-use tower named after Archibald Acheson, the second Earl of Gosford, sits on a prime 5,656 sqm site overlooking the Brisbane River and will include 320 apartments, the 130-room lifestyle hotel, and portfolio of&nbsp;hospitality venues and a podium outdoor pool with swim-up bar.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208153]

The design-focused hotel will feature guest rooms of up to 41 sqm and executive suites of up to 54 sqm.

The hospitality offerings extend to a&nbsp;street level pub and pizzeria, a rooftop sky bar and lounge on level 28, a signature restaurant under celebrity chef Dany Karam (former Executive Chef at the award-winning restaurant Black Bar and Grill in Pyrmont), a wellness centre and conference and events facilities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208151]

Marking IHG’s continued expansion into regional Australia, the hotel will be the second voco in regional NSW.

Andrew Hrsto, ALAND Founder and Director said they are thrilled to be partnering with IHG on the once-in-a-generation development in Gosford – one that will enliven the CBD and take this attractive regional city to the next level.

“Archibald is set to reposition Gosford as a major destination for holidaymakers and corporate hospitality," Hrsto said.

"The voco brand was the perfect fit for what is set to be a vibrant lifestyle destination on the Central Coast, at a time of significant growth and investment in Gosford.

“By integrating the voco brand into our development, residents will benefit from the atmosphere and amenities of a world-class hotel right at their doorstep, creating a cohesive experience of luxury everyday living for anyone who resides at the Archibald or is visiting as a guest.”

Highland appointed to sell Archibald by ALAND apartments

Sydney developers ALAND has seen strong interest in its Gosford development, Archibald by ALAND, with one-third of its apartments already sold.

The project, valued at $375 million, will include 323 residential units, 130 hotel rooms, food and beverage options, a pub, and a sky bar and lounge. Less than three months after its launch, 104 apartments worth over $80 million have been purchased, including $20 million prior to the launch.

Buyers include keen investors and downsizers, with local first-home buyers attracted by government schemes and owner-occupiers drawn to the project's affordability.

Designed by Place Studio, Archibald by ALAND is set to become a landmark in the area and a sought-after destination on the Central Coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208142]

Apartment prices range from $475,000 for a one-bedroom to $835,000 for a three-bedroom. Each unit features functional and spacious floorplans, inspired by the Australian coastline, with balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of Brisbane Waters and the city skyline.

ALAND CEO George Tadrosse said that the project’s unparalleled offering is also a major drawcard for eager investors.

“Archibald is the only project of its kind in Gosford, the level of amenity is unmatched, and residents will get that hotel lifestyle with access to resort-style facilities and beaches at their doorstep,” he said.

“We’re seeing many investors taking advantage of the growing population and new economic ventures in education, retail and health innovation in the area. It’s no surprise that investors have been quick to recognise this unique offering and its potential."

“With the NSW Government’s recent announcement to invest more than $23 Million in the Central Coast region, committing to a faster rail at Wyong and new university campus at Gosford, we expect another influx of interest across all buyer types,” said Tadrosse.

Project Sales Director Georgia Scanlon said ALAND’s sales to date are indicative of the demand of the Central Coast market, observing that lifestyle continues to hold strong appeal.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208143]

“The Central Coast market continues to perform despite broader market sentiment, offering buyers an affordable coastal lifestyle that is hard to match anywhere else in regional NSW locations. The Northconnex has allowed the coast to become a part of greater Sydney in the same way Western Sydney has.”

“We’re seeing a lot of local downsizers come from The Hills and Northern Beaches along with first home buyers who are out priced in Sydney. Essentially everyone is chasing a lifestyle only a stone’s throw from Sydney and the CBD,” added Scanlon.

The project is scheduled for completion in Q3 2024 and will offer unique features and easy access to the region's beaches and amenities.

Plans have been lodged for a 14-storey residential tower in Brisbane's inner-city suburb of Woolloongabba.

The plans were filed by a company tied to former Olympian Edward Fernon, who since giving up athletics has been focused on property development. He is currently the managing director at Freedom Development Group and a development partner of Escarpment Estates, a new development on the grounds of the former Katoomba Golf Course in the Blue Mountains.

Mecone, the Sydney-based town planner who filed the plans on behalf of Fernon, said the intent&nbsp;of the development is to create a mixed-residential building which caters for a range of different housing needs.

39 apartments are set to be delivered across the 61 Regent Street site, along with 33 studio apartments for short term rental and three studios for rooming accomodation, designed by Sydney-based architects, Place Studio.&nbsp;

<img alt="Woolloongabba" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3c540b3-a212-4e50-9571-bc6d977cc10c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-01-19%20at%209.51.17%20am.png?VersionId=PhMc7R_JQn_O8MEw.LBCrVq6DFRf.MeA" />

The mezzanine level and levels one to three will comprise the co-living residences, while the standard apartments will be housed from levels four through to 11.

A mix of apartment types will be on offer, with seven one-bedroom, 30 two-bedroom and two three-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

The built form presents as 12 storeys to Regent Street and is of a consistent built form to adjoining approvals. The development has a well-articulated façade which incorporates landscaping to enhance the sub-tropical design.

The architecture will be well-articulated through a variety of building materials and finishes, with landscaping featured throughout the design through raised planters on the lower levels and on the rooftop, enhancing a sub-tropical setting.&nbsp;

Brick cladding covers the ground floor, contrasting the balance of the built form, which is comprised of rendered cladding.&nbsp;

The facade of the building will presents a darker paint finish on the southern side, with the northern side containing a lighter paint finish, while timber panelling features on the underside of each balcony slab adding a finer grain detail, particularly when viewed from the street, with a mix of glass and concrete balustrading adding further articulation to the façade.&nbsp;

<img alt="61 Regent Street Woolloongabba" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="91326167-77b6-4342-9e0b-33be2abda080" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-01-19%20at%2010.07.12%20am.png?VersionId=yFemr9yuQhO9iMECQ8L4twEpgQz6hzwp" />

514 sqm of indoor and outdoor communal space will be incorporated across the site, with the mezzanine floor set to include a barbecue area and shaded areas.&nbsp;

Crowning the tower will be 141 sqm of communal open space, with an additional barbecue area slated, along with a 100 sqm communal room leading onto a courtyard and balcony.&nbsp;

Woolloongabba is undergoing significant growth which is reflective of the high density residential zoning and the proximity to the University of Queensland, Buranda Village, Carl Street Park, the Princess Alexandra Hospital, and the Gabba Cricket Ground.

The site also has excellent access to the Brisbane CBD through active, public and private transport, with public transport accessible via the nearby bus stops on Cornwall Street and Ipswich Road, whilst the future Brisbane Metro 1 line will be accessible from the Buranda busway station, with the Buranda railway station providing further public transport options.

Active transport routes are also an option, with the Southeast Freeway Bikeway providing further connection to the city.&nbsp;

Recently&nbsp;Queensland developer Sarazin submitted plans for their next tower in Woolloongabba following the success of Silk One.

They've&nbsp;lodged plans for Nuage, two side by side towers at 14 Wellington Road, which will home 368 apartments across the two 20-level buildings, divided by a central communal garden.

Castle Hill is set to see two huge new apartment developments that will bring well over 600 apartments to the burgeoning suburb.

Sydney developer Bathla Group are behind one of the two projects submitted to the local council in the last week.

The prominent Greater Sydney developer is planning a near $80 million, 350-apartment development&nbsp;across a 1.77 hectare site incorporating Dawes, Hughes, and Middleton Avenue's, will see the 350 apartments built across four buildings on the huge 1.77 hectare site.

The site, in the continually transforming Showground Station Precinct, is an amalgamation of 19 sites with 19 separate dwellings. It's just 300 metres from the Hills Showground Railway Station.

Bathla's plans are for 60 one-bed apartments, 205 two-beds, and 85 three-bed units. There will be 487 parking spaces, 407 for residents and 80 for visitors, as well as 10 motorcycle spaces and 151 bicycle parking spaces.

<img alt="Bathla Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="54fa0f03-3b9a-44fc-894e-7a2ebd3bd47e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-20%20at%204.29.31%20pm.png?VersionId=.c6Ftav_1DVvbRIRQNJbcu8vw7W9yusD" />

The apartments will be spread across four buildings. Building A will have&nbsp;103 apartments, Building B 106, Building C 95, and Building D just 46. Each will rise six levels.

Plus Architecture noted in their architectural design statement that the development seeks to maintain a green and walkable setting, in keeping with the residential areas in Castle Hill which have lush landscaping with established street trees following the undulating topography.

"The proposal provides extensive green spaces through multiple open spaces, tree lined streets and garden areas within the street setbacks," Plus stated.

"The ground plane provides connectivity between the public domains and communal open spaces for the residents and general public."

"The proposal generally has four-storey articulated base podium to respond to the pedestrian movement and human scale. The four-storey podium is further broken down with various facade materiality and articulations to be expressed as either single or double storey expression from the ground to be sympathetic to the existing pedestrian network."

Just a 200 metre walk around the corner is another massive 1.6 hectare site which has plans for 315 apartments lodged this week.

There will be eight buildings in the $80 million development which fronts Dawes and Hughes Avenue and Cadman Crescent, with the plans submitted by town planners BMA Urban on behalf of architects Place Studio. 515 residential car spaces have been planned, a further 62 visitors spaces, 205 bicycle spaces, and 31 motorbike spaces.

It was noted in the submission that Place wanted to "deliver&nbsp;an architecturally unique and contemporary development that strives to set a new standard for high amenity residential developments."

They are seeking to deliver a modulated skyline with a variety of building heights, with taller elements creating visual interest.

"The design aims to deliver opportunities for community gathering and private retreats across both the ground floor and rooftops. Large open lawns, seating pods and passive retreats have been integrated into the ground floor communal open space and is connected by a number of pedestrian paths through the development."
