Australian developers Third.i is gearing up to launch the next gem in the crown for Coffs Harbour, with the $35.5 million Sable at the Jetty project set to hit the rebounding real estate market next month following its official DA approval this week.

The new project has received the coveted green light from the Coffs Harbour City Council to bring 35 residences to the area, with a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

Sable at the Jetty is penned to hit the market in the coming weeks and will comprise high-end finishes, state-of-the-art appliances and an unrivalled lifestyle in one of the most idyllic locations along the Mid North Coast of New South Wales.&nbsp;

The project will also feature communal spaces including a lush courtyard for all residents.

Third.i Co-Founder Luke Berry said the project adds to the stable of quality homes Third.i is renowned for and is thrilled to be launching the group's debut large-scale project in the Coffs Harbour region.

“We ensure only the best quality offerings are put forward to the market, and our debut development in Coffs Harbour is no exception. It’s all about elevating our buyers’ lifestyle, with premium apartments and different layouts and configurations to suit each and every one of our potential buyers,” said Berry.

“To have also received the green light from the city council, with construction starting almost immediately after, is just incredible. It’s amazing seeing what we can bring to life, and I can’t wait for Coffs Harbour to finally see this jewel we have put all our energy and focus into.

The Jetty is a renowned landmark for the city of Coffs Harbour, and has come to symbolise the next major chapter of the city’s economic growth.&nbsp;

“With the convenience of the city centre close by, yet outside of the hustle and bustle, Sable is perfectly located for convenience and peace of mind. A range of gyms, shops, cafes and restaurants, as well as transport options are all within walking distance,” Berry said.&nbsp;

Designed by Third.i Design Manager, Luke Mahaffey, Sable at the Jetty draws inspiration from the local surroundings and a modern coastal design to deliver a rare luxury lifestyle opportunity.

The project reflects the colours and textures of the coastal water, sand and local flora and fauna, designed to capture the natural environment, capturing views and breezes with plenty of natural ventilation and sunlight.&nbsp;

Mahaffey has personally created and managed the design of the project from the acquisition stage through to working with the local council members to secure DA approval.&nbsp;

Located on the corner of Collingwood and Edgar Streets, Sable at the Jetty is within walking distance from the beach, local schools, cafes and shops, with the project encompassing sweeping views of the local beaches, as well as views into the rainforest.&nbsp;

The project also offers numerous transport links at the door of the site.

“Sable at the Jetty is ideal for any buyer at any stage of life. You’ve got so many amenities at only a stone’s throw away and offers the perfect lifestyle for people to live and play,” concluded Berry.

The latest offering from Third.i joins a growing list of first-class developments across Australia’s eastern seaboard, including Dairy Farmers Towers in Newcastle, Balfour Place in Lindfield, the highly anticipated Warada on Walker commercial precinct in the North Sydney CBD and the Merewether Residences in Newcastle, set to redefine retirement living.

Hamton’s Moonee Valley project, Stonepine House, is a sanctuary enveloped by greenery and enlivened by an amenity-rich offering, marking itself as one of Melbourne’s most exciting new urban precincts.

Created in collaboration with some of Australia’s best-in-class industry pioneers, the project prioritises nature, wellbeing and community, with a collection of 119 apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110367 project_image_fid=199208]

As the next evolution of the Moonee Valley Park precinct, Stonepine House introduces one, two, and three-bedroom residences, with the apartments enjoying a privileged position, surrounded by the area’s curated botanical landscapes.

Considered architecture by Rothelowman is elegant and restrained, with a base of open colonnades and brickwork connecting the building to the ground, while sharing identity with the location’s period homes and townhouses.

Residents will arrive in style, with a dedicated porte cochere, providing Stonepine House with an elegantly designed forecourt, echoing a luxury hotel arrival experience.

The apartment interiors at Stonepine House have been designed by Carr, one of Australia’s most awarded names in design.

Each residence captures the essence of the botanical environment, designed entirely with lifestyle in mind, with interior spaces aligning function with aesthetics.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110367 project_image_fid=199214]

With each arrival, life’s necessities are stored out of sight in the welcome zone, which acts as a place to charge your phone, and store your keys, bags, and shoes, upon arrival.

A selection of floorplans are offered for different lifestyle requirements across Stonepine House, with a choice between The House Residences and The Grand Residences.

The House Residences open to serene green views, with the Grand Residences across the upper levels enjoying outlooks across leafy canopies.

Textures of timber, stone and brushed metal are applied in refined ways, with the option to select appliances and material palettes in light contemporary tones, or classic dark hues, providing buyers the opportunity to curate a unique space.

Sunlight floods in through expansive windows and apertures, while the layouts allow an unobstructed flow of light to permeate and accentuate the inherent quality of the materials.

The kitchen is a sculptural focal point and an inviting area to entertain or gather in the apartments. Engineered stone wraps around the counter height bench in a waterfall design, with the splashback and adjacent benchtop providing the kitchen with an elegant sense of flow.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110367 project_image_fid=199217]

Walls of seamless joinery are understated to conceal the working elements of the space, with select apartments enjoying an additional walk-in pantry, with a suite of appliances, including a fully-integrated dishwasher, oven and cooktop standard.

The two and three-bedroom residences at Stonepine House enjoy additional bedrooms as versatile spaces that can be customised to the buyers needs, with the space offering flexibility for modern living requirements.

With the inclusion of a study in select apartments, these spaces provide flexibility and liveability for work or relaxation.

Bathrooms are an expression of tranquillity within The House Residences, with clean contemporary lines enlivened by organic surfaces, with the bathing space fitted with an overhead shower.

Each bedroom is open yet intimate, with a luxurious aesthetic achieved through scale and tactile appeal. Tonal grey carpets create a textural balance against the smooth, white surfaces, while green vistas lend a cocooning sense of sanctuary.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110367 project_image_fid=199225]

The Grand Residences’ architecture accommodates multiple aspects, with wrap-around terraces to some homes.

Residents will enjoy sweeping views, moments of dappled light and immersion in greenery whilst interacting with nature.

Across the living areas, rich, textural timbers are juxtaposed with metal accents.

Carr’s neutral palette, gallery-like walls and open shelving provides a high level of personalisation for residents to articulate their unique taste and style, while the oak timber floorboards bring depth and warmth.

Central and spacious, the kitchens in The Grand Residences are designed to enhance the flow of daily life, with an island bench the focal point of the space.

The robust design gains movement from natural stone patterns that run across its surface, married with the kitchen’s neutral palette of tonal joinery and brushed metal, which extends through to the butler’s pantry, in select homes.

A range of premium Miele appliances are also standard, while recessed lighting adds warm ambience, highlighting the rich textures of the space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110367 project_image_fid=199222]

Natural light and views are an essential element of each private retreat, with many bedrooms featuring direct access to leafy terraces.

A harmony of light and fresh air was a focus in the design, complemented by carpet underfoot or optional engineered floorboard upgrades.

Master-suites reveal walk-in robes that are treated as large dressing rooms, fitted with concealed storage compartments.

Bathrooms feature luxurious detailing, with lighting touches highlighting natural textures and sculptural qualities, reflective, textured surfaces inspired by nature, and stone-finish walls and floors for an organic aesthetic. Oversized showers are finished with gunmetal grey or classic chrome showerheads, continuing the minimalist approach

The final release of apartments are now selling in Stonepine House, with a mix of one, two and three-bedroom floorplans remaining.&nbsp;

Inside the Stonepine House residences

Sitting amongst the Moonee Valley neighbourhood trees, <a href="/new-apartments/stonepine-house-at-moonee-valley-park-kenna-street-moonee-ponds">Stonepine House at Moonee Valley Park </a>is engulfed in nature.

Award-winning landscape architects Tract, are behind the designs of the verdant green community, integrating a plant-filled eden around the building’s form. &nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110367 project_image_fid=199240]

Set in one of Australia’s most vibrant new residential enclaves, surrounded by lush, expansive parklands, <a href="/new-apartments/stonepine-house-at-moonee-valley-park-kenna-street-moonee-ponds">Stonepine House is a unique urban sanctuary, enveloped by historic, native greenery, and set within an amenity-rich precinct by developers Hamton.</a>

As a model of biophilic design, Moonee Valley Park has transformed from a once green valley, into now an iconic racecourse, with homes set to be built within the botanical landscape. &nbsp;

Residents will experience the enhanced sense of wellbeing that comes with a lifestyle integrated within 20 hectares of curated green spaces, set to become the new social heart of Melbourne’s inner north.

Moonee Valley Park offers a series of nature-led, urban experiences within a connected 10-minute neighbourhood - where every convenience has been designed to be within walking distance from the homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110367 project_image_fid=199241]

Since its unveiling in November 2020, Tote Park has established itself as a flourishing community space, with 5,000 sqm of dedicated green space.

Open grassy lawns, serpentine gardens, and a nature playground offer a host of play based amenities for families, in addition to the MV+ Program for community health and fitness.

Tote Park is the precursor to Moonee Valley Park’s considered design for amenities and programming that put residents’ health and wellbeing as the priority.

Overlooking the park is TOTE Bar &amp; Dining - a restored historical venue re-presented to Moonee Ponds and Melbourne as a unique all-day dining experience, with curated food and local and imported beverage options.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110367 project_image_fid=199242]

The Field and Rumpus will provide further active outdoor space within the development, with the Field of Moonee Valley Racecourse transformed on non-racing days into an open communal space, with a multi-purpose sports zone, fringed by landscaping.

Rumpus has been designed to incorporate nature and play with thoughtful landscapes and custom-designed play equipment, with the feature adventure playground.

Shopping and dining is also abundant within the Moonee Valley precinct, with Cox Place, The Stalls, the Arena, and The Valley.

In the vibrant village heart of Moonee Valley Park, Cox Place will feature a curated mix of specialty retailers, cafés and restaurants, alongside co-working spaces, small business hubs, as well as offering yoga, pilates and medical suites to its comprehensive lifestyle offering.

The Arena acts as a welcoming space for the community to gather, dine and enjoy events throughout the year, with an outdoor cinema and performance space. &nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110367 project_image_fid=199206]

Moonee Valley Racing Club will draw on its expertise to provide a diverse array of community experiences. When not occupied by the thoroughbreds on race-days, the historic stalls will be transformed into a unique space for activations, such as vibrant markets and creative dining and entertainment pop-ups.

Nestled within&nbsp;the residences are additional&nbsp;green, leafy spaces, with Stonepine Square, Glenara Walk and the Resident's Garden.&nbsp;

Stonepine Square has been curated as a Mediterranean-inspired space that features vine covered pergolas and inbuilt and free-standing seating.

The classic piazza is an organic meeting space where residents will gather around the 125 year-old Italian stone pine trees that define this curated public square with heritage accents.

Glenara Walk is a corridor of botanical beauty, adjacent to Stonepine House and leading to the wider neighbourhood.

Reimagining traditional urban pathways, Glenara Walk has been designed as a linear journey through the woodlands, with the walkway linking&nbsp;residents from the residences to the local precinct amenity and surrounding streets, through a diverse collection of deciduous trees and flowering plant species that change with the seasons.

The Resident's Garden is a&nbsp;secluded garden sanctuary acting as a restorative retreat for residents to engage with nature.

Surrounded by ferns and lush vegetation, residents can step&nbsp;through the garden via floating steps and decks that sit above the forest floor, with access from&nbsp;Stonepine Square, through a private entrance from Glenara Walk or directly through Stonepine House.&nbsp;

One, two and three-bedroom apartments can still be snapped up in the nature-driven development,&nbsp;with the project currently in the pre-construction phase.

The lively inner-city suburb of Albion has fast become a mouthwatering hotbed of cafés, craft breweries and culinary pioneers.&nbsp;

Home to not one, but two artisan collectives, the trendy neighbourhood boasts an ever-growing array of food, retail and dining destinations.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113348 project_image_fid=204218]

From local coffee roasters, to fine French cuisine, nestled amongst semi-industrial surrounds, Albion has it all and is only poised to continue to flourish.&nbsp;

With nearby Albion Station just three stops from Central, the suburb is also well connected to the greater Brisbane region.&nbsp;&nbsp;

On weekends, venture out for coffee in Albion, grab a cocktail in Fortitude Valley or wander your own backyard for the city’s best food, drink. Add into the mix a whole world of outdoor activity, retail and recreation and you have one of Brisbane’s most desirable suburbs to live.

Taking on its setting, Pyco’s latest residential development, Nouveau presents a contemporary interpretation of Albion’s historic architectural character.&nbsp;

Distinctive arched terraces speak to the suburbs quintessential Queenslander verandas, whilst the building's base-brick foundation calls to mind the neighbourhood’s enduring industrial heritage.&nbsp;

The double-height, two storey sky homes offer inner-city living without compromising on space, inspired by Albion’s heritage fabric whilst maintaining a future-forward design.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113348 project_image_fid=204213]

The collection of 42 sub-tropical townhomes sit in an elevated position, leveraging on its enviable hill-top location for city views across neighbouring suburbs and the Brisbane city skyline.

“This is a development uniquely suited to its surrounds. In a suburb defined by it’s industrial character, Albion’s architectural heritage is reflected in Nouveau’s striking façade—a sophisticated interplay of brickwork, concrete and natural greenery that blends seamlessly into the local streetscape.”

Nouveau’s apartments have been curated under a single loaded design, which means the residences run right through the building.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113348 project_image_fid=204237]

The ground floor residences will feature their own front entry, with a private yard at the rear, to mirror the feeling of a traditional home, while the rooftop residences will enjoy oversized private rooftop terraces.

With the building industry hit hard by the recent material price rises, along with twin evils of short supply and inflation, the result is many developers are either falling short and not able to deliver a product, or many are opting for lower quality construction options.&nbsp;

One of a handful of bespoke projects to be constructed on time during the hardships is 63 Heyington Place, Toorak Melbourne.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4508 project_image_fid=134371] 
&nbsp; 
Developed by Melbourne-based, Sterling Global, Heyington is clad in Portuguese limestone, demonstrating an effort for high quality construction.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Visioneer Builders overcame challenges with the use of the limestone panelling, as each small area required multiple stonemasons to ensure the joints and architectural elements were immaculately aligned and pieced together.&nbsp;

Sterling Global Development Director, David Morgan, said Heyington would be difficult to deliver in today’s market with today’s construction and supply costs.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“Sadly, I think lavish stone facades and premium building materials will become all the more rare and exclusive as many developers and builders struggle to deliver high-quality projects with the current cost and supply chain challenges,” he said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4508 project_image_fid=134372]

With its exterior structure designed predominantly using the Portuguese limestone cladding render, along with detailed timber soffits, the building looks to serve as a timeless long-term building in one of Melbourne’s oldest and most established suburbs.&nbsp;

In collaboration with Acre Landscape Architects, the 12 apartments have been envisioned as an urban oasis, set to create its own identity amongst the history of Toorak.&nbsp;

Proving further evidence toward the considered design, Heyington was recently announced as a finalist in the Interior Design Excelled Awards under the multi-residential category.&nbsp;

The IDEA is Australia’s most accomplished independent design awards program and judges across fifteen categories and six awards with the finalists set to be announced in November at the IDEA Gala.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4508 project_image_fid=134374]

Construction has completed on the Toorak project, with a limited number of residences remaining.&nbsp;

Hutchinson’s Builders have finalised works on the Doma Group development, The Crossing.&nbsp;

Set to settle in the coming weeks, the project will deliver 48 boutique apartments to the heart of the Civic precinct in Newcastle.

Built around an open breezeway and extensive landscaping, The Crossing comprises a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments; the residence benefit from views over the harbour and city.&nbsp;

The project was sold by Colliers Newcastle across 2020 and 2021, remaining true to the planned build schedule, with pre-settlement inspections occurring over the past weeks.&nbsp;

Colliers' Senior Executive Sales Agent, Christian Booth said the area has a huge demand for this project, with extensive buyer regret for those who didn’t act quickly, with significant growth for those who did.&nbsp;

“Colliers are thrilled to be meeting buyers in the coming weeks to handover keys and we know the buyers are keenly awaiting this,” Booth said.&nbsp;

The Crossing is the fourth residential development for DOMA in Newcastle, preceded by Edition and Lume on Honeysuckle Drive and Bishopsgate in Wickham.

Settlement of their fifth development, Huntington, is expected throughout October and November of this year.&nbsp;

Positive sales results continue for Doma with the Store in Newcastle West having launched earlier this year, achieving close to 50 per cent sold to date.

Set to form an integral part of the regeneration of the 64.2-hectare site on Sydney’s North Shore, 177 apartments will be delivered across four low-rise buildings.&nbsp;

Designed by architectural consultancy firm, GroupGSA, the energy-efficient buildings aim to be visually interesting, contemporary and sympathetic to the surrounding area, with the building’s interiors also benefiting from designs by Coco Republic.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Ranging from four to six-storeys, the buildings will be constructed across two stages, with 143 apartments set for the first stage and an additional 34 in the second.&nbsp;

26 one-bedroom, 95 two-bedroom and 56 three-bedroom apartments will be delivered across the project, with a new two lane access road set to be built as well, providing an entry point to a shared basement.

The apartments will be located within the approved concept plan’s building envelope, just off Fox Valley Rd, with the DA approval coming 12 years after the State Government approved a Part 3A plan for the site, which included the expansion of the Sydney Adventist Hospital and a range of residential, commercial and higher education developments.&nbsp;

The entire Wahroonga Estate is divided into five neighbourhoods and includes 31.4 hectares of environmental conservation land.

Jim Hunter, Director of Capital Corporation, said the planning process was inclusive of the Council and community feedback to ensure the needs of the local area were met.&nbsp;

“The project has been years in the making. We carefully considered feedback from the community and made many amendments in response,” Hunter said.&nbsp;

“The collaborative approach we took with Council and the community ensured we are delivering a plan that meets the needs of the local community and this was evident in the amount of feedback received.”&nbsp;

A review of initial plans resulted in the reconfiguration of the residential development’s footprint, along with the addition of landscaping and open space.&nbsp;

&nbsp;“We are thrilled with the result and we are excited to bring this project to market in early 2023,” Hunter added.&nbsp;

The proceeds from the development will also unlock funding for reinvestment into facilities, new educational hubs and other community assets within the Wahroonga Estate precinct.&nbsp;

Established in 1991, the Australia-owned Capital Corporation established themselves amongst the Sydney development scene as one of the pioneers of the Norwest Business Park, completing 47 buildings within the precinct.&nbsp;

The group has also recently completed a string of developments including the Esplanade in Norwest, Parklands Estate in Rouse Hill, Veridian in Kogarah, along with Stages One, Two and Three at the $1 billion Woolooware Bay Town Centre in the Sutherland Shire.&nbsp;

The entire Wahroonga Estate is divided into five neighbourhoods and includes 31.4 hectares of environmental conservation land.

Positioning itself as one of the city’s most dynamic and eclectic neighbourhoods, North Melbourne is home to a mix of established and new housing, along with a spat of commercial, industrial, retail and community facilities.&nbsp;&nbsp;

​​Since the 1980s, North Melbourne has slowly become gentrified due to its proximity to the city centre, with Errol and Victoria streets a popular hub for foodies, with a range of cafes and restaurants lining the strip.&nbsp;

The nearby Queensberry Street has also transformed itself into the home of the arts over the years, now hosting the Melbourne Fringe Festival yearly at the old North Melbourne Town Hall which is now known as the Arts House.&nbsp;

Delivering a boutique collection of townhomes to the heart of the suburb, Cedar Woods’ 88 Leveson builds on the heritage of North Melbourne with a design that pays homage to the area’s industrial past.&nbsp;

Renowned builders, Burbank Urban have been appointed to construct the project, which presents a bold exterior, featuring brick, black metal and compressed sheet cladding.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8945 project_image_fid=178923]

Mirroring the materiality and proportion of the former warehouse site, large windows create generous openings for natural light along with connections to the external spaces.

Cedar Woods engaged design-led Australian architecture firm, Genton to design 88 Levenson, offering a mix of multi-levelled three and four-bedroom townhomes.&nbsp;

Genton, with offices in both Melbourne and Sydney, is led by Principals Steven Toia, Marc Debney and Jamie McCutcheon, amassing a varied portfolio over their time, including both residential projects such as Cumulus and Verse as well as commercial works, like the Ford Asia Pacific Product Development Centre and the Powerhouse in Parramatta.&nbsp;

Conceived for owner-occupiers, each dwelling comprises open living spaces for entertaining on the first floor and large bedrooms on the upper floors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8945 project_image_fid=178925]

Designed to be spacious and flexible, the homes incorporate premium finishes such as engineered timber flooring, wool carpets and stone benchtops, along with the option to include personal lift access or an expansive whole floor master suite.&nbsp;

Crowning each of the homes are sun-drenched outdoor terraces, offering views to the North Melbourne skyline, as well as providing an additional extension to the homes.&nbsp;

Construction is due to commence soon on the project, with completion slated for 2024.&nbsp;

Urban Property Group are continuing their take over of the western suburbs of Sydney.&nbsp;

Having wracked up a swat of awards for their residential developments in Penrith, including Navali, Lumina and The Henry, Urban are set to transform Edmondson Park in their latest project, with plans for four buildings on a site fronting Buchan Avenue.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of the proposed Edmondson Park residences" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="61573d2f-fe58-44d4-b002-7e59ca3728ef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-07%20at%204.00.34%20pm.png?VersionId=gZvnLx.KkQZyZ8kNE2ALcMf.YkCzVooY" />

The group recently submitted the plans for the project, which will form part of a greater precinct of homes.&nbsp;

Titled Site 5 of the Edmondson Park North Precinct 9, the buildings will top out at eight-storeys, with COX Architecture to design each of the stages across the precinct.&nbsp;

266 apartments will be delivered across the site, with a communal open green space to separate each of the buildings.&nbsp;

37 one-bedroom apartments will be on offer in the precinct, along with 154 two-bedroom, 65 three-bedroom, nine four-bedroom and one five-bedroom apartment.&nbsp;

The group also has plans to develop stage one to three in the Edmondson Park North Precinct 9, along with stage four with the development application currently being prepared.&nbsp;

Sydney property developers to build residential precinct in Edmondson Park 

Roseville is poised for a wave of new apartment development following the NSW Government's rezoning of land around Roseville Station under its Transport Oriented Development program.

The new planning controls have unlocked significant development potential within walking distance of the station, with a number of sites expected to be amalgamated and redeveloped in the coming years as developers seek to take advantage of the increased density allowances.

One of the more restrained developments in the precinct, and set among the first to be delivered having commenced well before the recent changes, is Hyecorp's Juliet. The boutique apartment project is already well under construction and remains on track to welcome residents by the end of the year, offering a markedly different proposition to many of the larger-scale developments now likely to emerge across the suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278194]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/juliet-roseville-64-pacific-highway-roseville-nsw-2069">Juliet</a> will comprise just&nbsp;34 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments opposite Roseville Station. For Hyecorp, which has delivered projects across Sydney's Lower North Shore for more than three decades, Roseville presented a rare opportunity to address a growing gap in the market.

"<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/roseville-nsw-2069">Roseville</a> has long been one of the North Shore's most tightly held and desirable suburbs, offering a unique combination of village charm, established greenery, excellent transport connections, and proximity to some of Sydney's best schools and lifestyle amenities," Hyecorp said.

"We recognised a growing demand from local homeowners seeking to downsize without leaving the community they have built their lives around. The location presented a rare opportunity to create homes that cater specifically to that buyer profile."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278196]

The six-level development has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/pbd-architects">PBD Architects</a> as a collection of residences that feel more like homes than apartments. The brief centred generous floorplans, abundant natural light, quality finishes, and strong connections to outdoor space.

PBD Architects drew inspiration from Roseville's established garden suburb character, creating a building that sits comfortably within its surroundings rather than dominating them. The architecture incorporates natural materials, soft forms, layered landscaping, expansive balconies, and generous setbacks to strengthen the connection between residents and the suburb's leafy environment.

"The focus was on designing spacious, house-like residences for discerning owner-occupiers and downsizers who wanted to remain on the North Shore without compromising on comfort, privacy, or design," PBD said.&nbsp;

"Every apartment was to feel considered, timeless, and highly functional."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278195]

Inside, residences feature engineered timber flooring, stone kitchen benchtops and splashbacks, integrated Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, ducted air conditioning, and large outdoor entertaining areas designed to take advantage of district and treetop views.

Residents will also have access to a rooftop barbecue and lounge area, alongside practical amenities including parcel lockers, EV charging capability, bicycle storage, a dog wash bay, and a basement car wash facility.

The majority of purchasers so far have been local owner-occupiers from Roseville, Lindfield, Chatswood, Killara, and the broader Upper North Shore, many of whom are transitioning from larger family homes.

"Buyers are looking for spacious, house-like apartments that allow them to downsize without feeling like they are sacrificing comfort or functionality," Hyecorp noted.

"They value large kitchens, generous living areas, ample storage, quality finishes, secure parking, lift access, and low-maintenance living."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278204]

Juliet sits directly opposite Roseville Train Station and within walking distance of Roseville Village, while Chatswood's retail and dining precinct is only minutes away. The development is also surrounded by some of Sydney's most established schools, including Roseville College, Ravenswood, Pymble Ladies' College, and Knox Grammar, as well as nearby parklands and golf courses.

Juliet is currently more than 75 per cent sold ahead of its anticipated completion in late 2026.

Sherpa Property Group has unveiled the third instalment of its Flourish series, securing full approval for the two-tower, $500 million Flourish Soleira development in Palm Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/flourish-soleira-1150-1154-gold-coast-highway-palm-beach-qld-4221">Flourish Soleira</a> will rise from a prominent site in the commercial heart of Palm Beach, the long-time home of Cash Converters and a range of local retailers.

The project will introduce a new retail and dining precinct at ground level, beneath 286 apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=370959]

“We’re very committed to not only providing affordable residential offerings that are much needed in Palm Beach, but also delivering a vibrant new commercial heart that complements the extraordinary growth of the southern Gold Coast,” Sherpa Property Group founder Christie Leet said.

The development will sit under Sherpa's Flourish brand, which is aimed at providing a pathway into the beachside suburb for locals, first-home buyers and downsizers. In a move designed to assist first-home buyers entering the market, Sherpa has reserved all one and two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments exclusively for eligible first-home buyers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=370964]

“Our vision through Flourish is to create a vibrant retail and lifestyle focal point within the Palm Beach centre zone, delivering thriving communities underpinned by lifestyle-rich locations,” Leet said.

“So far, Flourish has been an incredible success, and we hope to carry this momentum as we progress the next two Flourish projects in Palm Beach.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=371430]

Located across 1150-1164 Gold Coast Highway and 3 Sixth Avenue, the development will comprise two towers. The northern tower will deliver 154 apartments, while the southern tower will add a further 132 residences, helping address ongoing demand for new apartments in the tightly held coastal suburb.

Flourish Soleira will also feature the most extensive rooftop amenity offering ever delivered in Palm Beach.

The two towers will be connected by a skybridge, with residents gaining access to a rooftop recreation deck featuring a full-width swimming pool, hot and cold plunge pools, wellness spaces, a gymnasium, private dining facilities, massage treatment rooms, barbecue areas, a basketball court, golf simulator, indoor and outdoor dining spaces, sun lounges and extensive landscaping.

LPS Group is expected to start construction later this year.

Sherpa is already well advanced on construction of its debut Flourish project, Flourish Amargo, located just around the corner from Soleira. Meanwhile, Flourish Oasis, positioned opposite Amargo, recently commenced construction and has nearly sold out its collection of 47 apartments.

Are mortgage holders set to get a reprieve from the RBA in 2026?

Big Four bank NAB believes so. They are now expecting the next move from the RBA to be a cut, rather than a hike, which they had pencilled in for August. They are unsure of the timing of the cut however, they note in their latest&nbsp;NAB Economics RBA Watch.

NAB Chief Economist, Dr Sally Auld, said recent data suggests the economy has lost momentum and the outlook for rates has shifted, noting that the broader economic backdrop has changed since earlier in the year.

“The next move in the cash rate is likely to be down, but the timing is uncertain," Dr Auld said.

"In February, growth was above trend, the economy was operating above capacity and there was uncertainty over the restrictiveness of rates. None of these conditions exist today,” she outlined.

Dr Auld said recent data pointed to softer momentum across the economy while acknowledging that at the same time, uncertainty remains a key feature of the outlook.

“Both Q1 GDP data and the NAB business survey suggest momentum in the economy has slowed, meaning that growth has likely peaked for the cycle. That said, we are cognisant there is still considerable uncertainty around the outlook, both with respect to activity and inflation.”

Dr Auld said inflation risks and labour market outcomes would be important to watch.

“On the prices side, we are still forecasting above target core inflation through to mid-2027. Margins will compress and weaker labour market outcomes are a risk.”

She said tighter financial conditions are expected to weigh on housing and activity.

“Tighter financial conditions will be reflected in a slowing in house price growth and housing credit growth. In summary, we have greater conviction that the next move in rates is down, but less conviction on the timing.”

Mortgage relief? NAB forecasts RBA rate cut, not hike, after softer economic conditions

A local downsizer has splashed $6.5 million on a penthouse in Perifa's Alex &amp; Willow development in Crows Nest. 
&nbsp; 
The purchaser sold their long-held family home in the area before embarking on a six-month search for the right apartment. After inspecting a range of options across the Lower North Shore, the buyer returned to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/alex-willow-crows-nest-82-90-alexander-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Alex &amp; Willow</a>. 
&nbsp; 
The buyer profile reflects the project’s broader purchaser mix. <a>Alex &amp; Willow</a> has attracted predominantly local downsizers looking to transition from larger homes without compromising on space or quality, alongside a smaller cohort of upsizers and investors drawn to the project’s location and design credentials. 
&nbsp; 
The milestone sale comes as the project, developed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/perifa">Perifa</a>&nbsp;and delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/versatile-made-construction">Versatile Construction</a>, both part of Versatile Group, reaches 60 per cent sold.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6680 project_image_fid=371325] 
&nbsp; 
Eddie Mansour, Managing Partner of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/ray-white-projects">Ray White Projects</a>, said the result demonstrates not only a headline price but also depth of demand. 
&nbsp; 
“This is an exceptional outcome and a clear reflection of sustained buyer demand for premium, well-located downsizer product,” Mansour said.

“We’re seeing a consistent pattern of local homeowners selling family residences and reinvesting into high-quality apartments that allow them to remain within their community. Alex &amp; Willow has resonated strongly with this group because it offers genuine scale, thoughtful design and immediate proximity to the village.” 
&nbsp; 
The sale reflects a broader and consistent trend of local downsizers actively seeking high-quality, low-maintenance residences close to established village centres. Agents report that demand for this product type has remained resilient, particularly where developments offer a rare combination of scale, design quality and walkable amenity. 
&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Fabrizio Perilli, Managing Director of Perifa and Versatile Group, said the sale marks a defining moment for the project. 
&nbsp; 
“The penthouse sale is a strong endorsement of the quality we have delivered, alongside our partners, and the clear demand from local downsizers for premium, boutique residences in this location,” Perilli said.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“Most importantly, we’re proud to see the Alex &amp; Willow community beginning to take shape. As we move closer to completion, we’re looking forward to welcoming residents and seeing the project come to life.”&nbsp;

Alex & Willow, Crows Nest penthouse sells off the plan for $6.5 million

Fresh from launching the first stage of its Wollongong precinct, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/keira-place-wollongong-120-122-smith-street-wollongong-nsw-2500">Keira Place</a>, builder-developer Urban Property Group has unveiled plans for the next phase of the masterplanned community.

Now on public exhibition through the NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority pathway is a State Significant Development Application for a further 657 homes on the prominent gateway site opposite Beaton Park.

The proposal comprises three buildings, including two build-to-sell towers rising 25 and 30 storeys, delivering 391 apartments, alongside a 12-storey co-living building with 266 residences, making it one of the largest co-living proposals currently planned in regional New South Wales.

Of the apartments proposed in the build-to-sell towers, the majority, 310, are two-bedroom dwellings. The balance comprises 44 one-bedroom apartments and 37 three-bedroom residences. Apartment sizes range from around 50 sqm for one-bedroom homes to approximately 90 sqm for three-bedroom apartments.

<img alt="Smith St" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="19347059-1612-41a0-9c74-b86a657237f8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-10%20at%2010.02.18%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sWXnaCcA.cIC6N8YT1dg5pJ2e1V3Z6z7" />

The submission says the proposal has evolved significantly from its original Housing Delivery Authority application following extensive consultation with the State Design Review Panel and Wollongong City Council.

The final scheme has been designed to align with the emerging vision for the Flinders Street Precinct, an area identified by Council as a future high-density mixed-use neighbourhood capable of accommodating substantial housing growth close to transport, employment and community infrastructure.

According to the design report prepared by COX Architecture, the development aims to "deliver a built outcome consistent with the future character of the Wollongong CBD while responding to the site's unique constraints and opportunities."

"Our vision for the next phase of the site evolution in Wollongong is grounded in three design pillars that guide the design response: place, natural environment and celebration," COX said.

"Inspired by its surroundings and grounded in the stories of place on Wodi Wodi Country, the design proposal acknowledges the established character of its setting while creating a unique and timeless identity that sits harmoniously within it.

"The design proposal responds to its specific site conditions, acknowledging the vegetation, climate, wind conditions and solar access of the site."

The architecture responds directly to the site's position between Wollongong's urban core and its natural landscape setting.

COX identified views towards Mount Keira and the Illawarra Escarpment as defining features of the site, while the upper levels of the towers will also capture expansive views across the city and out to the Pacific Ocean.

The design team has positioned the tallest buildings closer to the rail corridor, where overshadowing impacts can be better managed while establishing a landmark built form on the northern approach into the city.

<img alt="Smith St" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="79580d5b-500c-4ebf-9629-797146a4a694" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-10%20at%209.51.59%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=WbTB1EKSG.KDfsfz0F3wp1QVa2oCMGR5" />

Urban Property Group secured the 11,000 sqm Smith Street site in 2022 and has since progressed plans for the broader Keira Place precinct.

Construction recently commenced on the first stage of Keira Place, which will deliver 150 apartments across two residential buildings, including 27 affordable housing apartments and 18 specialist disability accommodation dwellings, alongside activated ground-floor retail and commercial space.

Urban Co-CEO Patrick Elias said the commencement of construction marked a significant milestone for Wollongong and reflected the developer's long-term commitment to regional cities.

"Today's groundbreaking is about turning approvals into homes and moving quickly to deliver much-needed housing in Wollongong's city centre," Elias said.

"Keira Place will provide a diverse mix of homes close to jobs, transport and services, while setting a high benchmark for quality, durability and consumer protection."
