Unit values in Sydney are continuing to trend higher over 2024.

CoreLogic's Monthly Hedonic Index showed another 0.7 per cent rise in unit values across June, following 0.7 per cent gains in May and 0.6 in April.

It was another month units outstripped houses in the harbour capital. House values rose 0.3 per cent in June to be one per cent up over the rolling quarter. Units are now up 1.4 per cent over the same period.

June marked the end of the financial year. Over the 12 months, units in Sydney are up five per cent, to a new median $855,000.

<h2>What happened in Sydney’s off the plan apartment market in June</h2>

The biggest news from the off the plan market in Sydney came from North Sydney where&nbsp;<a href="/developers/aqualand-australia" target="">Aqualand</a>&nbsp;officially opened their mixed-use precinct,&nbsp;<a href="/buildings/aura-by-aqualand-north-sydney-168-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">AURA by Aqualand</a>.

Aqualand Managing Director Jin Lin said the project’s completion in time for Aqualand’s tenth anniversary was fortuitous as it perfectly showcases what Aqualand has come to stand for over the last decade.

Aqualand’s Head of Sales and Marketing, Alex Adams, said AURA’s completion is the start of an exciting new phase in the project’s customer journey.

<img alt="Aqualand officially opens landmark North Sydney apartment development, AURA by Aqualand" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/DSC03775.jpg?VersionId=ysntkriVCiHlU.BEG9FHAm0MAk7b4T3m" />

“AURA is no longer an off the plan project," Adams says.

"It’s now complete and move-in ready. This removes any uncertainty in a potential buyer’s mind about purchasing off-the-plan, as they now have no doubt about the build quality. They can now see and feel the construction standards we insist on first-hand."

Towering 28 levels above the streetscape and commanding stunning views of Sydney Harbour, the striking $1 billion <a href="/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>-designed mixed-use residential community features 386 apartments above a richly landscaped community precinct, including a two-level curated food and beverage podium with four world-class venues operated by their hospitality business, Etymon Projects.

Mason &amp; Main has been designed to be the leader of gentrification in the area, with not only an influx of well-designed apartments by Woods Bagot, but to create a central precinct that goes beyond the four walls of the home.

The five towers, a mix of build-to-rent and build-to-sell, will sit above a cool 'Eat Street', which is expected to be open later this year, with a string of hospitality venues and retailers set to create an all-round lifestyle hub for both residents of Mason &amp; Main as well as the wider community.

There were plenty of development applications across Greater Sydney in June, particularly in Sydney's east. The most interesting plans came from <a href="/new-apartments/rose-bay-nsw-2029">Rose Bay</a> where Eastern Suburbs developer <a href="/developers/orosi">Orosi</a> is taking on its largest project to date, filing plans for a new shoptop development at the gateway to Rose Bay.

The integrated developer, who serves as both the architect and builder of its projects, designed the building to offer 50 apartments spanning across a structure that ranges from four to five levels.

There will be 34 two-bedroom apartments and 16 three-bed apartments.

It was last year that Orosi, led by Founder and Managing Director Hamid Samavi, secured the vast 3,000 sqm site, a two year-long amalgamation of several lots over The Avenue,&nbsp;<a href="/buildings/dusk-625-627-old-south-head-road-rose-bay">Old South Head Road</a>&nbsp;and William Street.

Samavi told Urban the vision is to create an iconic landmark that serves as a welcoming gateway to&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/rose-bay-nsw-2029">Rose Bay</a>.

"OROSI&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/rose-bay-nsw-2029">Rose Bay</a>&nbsp;will set a new benchmark for architecture and sustainability in The Eastern Suburbs, featuring state-of-the-art facilities and curated retail spaces, including a Kosher café, an organic restaurant, and Sydney’s most iconic wellness centre," Samavi said.

City Beat July 2024: Sydney units continue to outperform houses

Rafi Assouline's&nbsp;HSN Property Group&nbsp;is set to develop a striking new apartment development in Woollahra.

HSN, who has its own building arm, is seeking to develop a seven-level building at <a href="/new-apartments/370-edgecliff-road-edgecliff">370 Edgecliff Road</a>, a site that had previously been earmarked for a new development by TOGA.

The new $23 million development, near the Wolper Jewish Hospital and Matt Moran's The Chiswick, will comprise just 19 two and three-bedroom apartments, four of which will be reserved as affordable housing.

Currently on the site is a three-level, 16-apartment building.

<img alt="HSN" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7f4c3d28-097d-4d69-8923-dd72967a45b6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-06-20%20at%204.03.55%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=4Kcexgbg2vsXW725vpl6IAnhw7KDOWkP" />

Designed to meet the needs of medium-sized families and downsizers from the local area, the north-facing apartments range from 105 sqm to 191 sqm.

The landscape design, by Danger Barin Smith, reflects the ecological character of Woollahra, using a mix of species to provide privacy and seasonal shading.&nbsp;

A concierge lobby will enhance residents' sense of community and security.

<a href="/developers/hsn-property-group">HSN Property Group</a> will also employ sustainable initiatives, including using energy-efficient appliances, and low-maintenance materials, and providing on-site facilities for recycling and rainwater reuse.&nbsp;

Prominent eastern suburbs developers HSN are back to the popular Bondi locale, setting their sights on Bondi Beach this time having previously developed Ellipse in Bondi Junction.&nbsp;

The property group, along with their construction arm HSN Construction, has lodged plans for a residential development across an amalgamated 1166 sqm site at 55 Hall Street.

Located just 350 metres from the sand of the iconic Bondi Beach, PBD Architects have been engaged to design the four-storey shop-top project, which will deliver just 16 apartments above ground floor retail space.&nbsp;

In keeping with market demand and residential options in the area, a mix of floorplans will be constructed, with one one-bedroom apartments, 12 two-bedders and four three-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

“The surrounding context has seen some impressive developments come to fruition in the past decade, many of which have contributed to the Australian coastal character of the area,” PBD said in their application plans.&nbsp;

“The site functions as a development that seeks to activate the Hall Street street frontage, with the design sympathetic to the pattern of development and desired future character of Bondi.”

The overall style of the Hall St residences is eclectic, however it fits in with the wider neighbourhood’s context through its Australian coastal style.&nbsp;

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="dbd912d0-4364-4f62-a9eb-e3eacc12c733" href="/new-apartments/55-hall-street-bondi-beach"><img alt="Render of the Hall Street development.

Framed glazing throughout maximises the solar orientation of the apartments, while also capitalising on the views.&nbsp;

A mix of fluted precast concrete will make up the base of the development, complemented by natural stone and a mix of brown and green hued elements.

A close collaboration with renowned landscape architects, Bates Landscape has resulted in a synthesis of building design, further corroborating the design with the natural surrounds. &nbsp;

The landscape proposal draws upon the unique ecological character of the Bondi area, with planter boxes utilised throughout the building facade, as well as across the ground floor, seamlessly connecting the project to the natural neighbourhood.&nbsp;

The site’s location near to the best Bondi has to offer will also means future residents will be within walking distance to a number of cafes, restaurants, bars and supermarkets, as well as a range of public transport options, providing connection to a wider range of facilities, including schools and the Sydney CBD.&nbsp;

There’s been a string of developers who have taken to the popular street in recent times, including <a href="/news/nsw/first-look-allen-linz-and-eduard-litver-team-up-for-new-hall-street-bondi-apartments">Allen Linz and Eduard Litver’s $12.5m project across an amalgamated site at 34-38 Hall St.&nbsp;</a>

The four-level building will have ground floor retail, apartments above, and two-levels of basement parking, with the block bookended by the heritage Post Office to the east.

Embece Studio were enlisted to design the plans for the project, taking inspiration, not dissimilar to PBD, from the neighbourhood’s surrounding landscape and greenery.

The well-known Sydney property investor and developer, <a href="/news/nsw/vaughan-blank-set-for-apartment-development-on-bondi-beachs-hall-street">Vaughan Blank, has also submitted $9.4 million plans to transform the old Westpac building on Hall St.&nbsp;</a>

He'll be creating a new shop-top housing building, with 15 apartments and retail premises on the ground floor, designed by BANG Architecture.&nbsp;

HSN Property Group&rsquo;s Bondi Junction project, Ellipse is nearing completion, with the oval structure set to deliver a collection of apartments in one of Sydney&rsquo;s most sought-after locations.

Designed by nationally acclaimed Architect James Tonkin, in collaboration with award-winning Yvette Philips Interior Design, Ellipse comprises two and four-bedroom apartments, with master bedrooms equipped with an ensuite and private balcony, as well as internal laundries.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109122 project_image_fid=200031]

With only four, two-bedroom apartments and one&nbsp;four-bedroom apartment remaining, three with custom linen-covered built in wardrobes, Ellipse has marked itself as a rarity in the suburb, with the project&nbsp;set to be the last building to be developed on Waverley Crescent.

1st City are handling the sales of Ellipse, with agent&nbsp;Yaron Foghel saying they&#39;ve seen mostly&nbsp;downsizes and young professional couples interested in the Bondi Junction project.

&quot;Most of the Bondi Junction developments are around Oxford Street,&quot; he said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109122 project_image_fid=200033]

&quot;Ellipse is closer to Woollahra and Bondi Beach where there are no high rises around and it&#39;s close by to a handful of parks, making it a very different and better location,&quot; Foghel added.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Following an&nbsp;open plan living, apartments open out to multiple balconies throughout the home, including a north-east facing balcony that captures city skyline aspects and water views.

Kitchens will feature a statement &lsquo;Statuario&rsquo; marble island bench, benchtops and splashback, complete with Wolf and Miele appliances and Sub-Zero fridge/freezers. Apartments come with two car spaces and storage, benefiting from lift level access as well as an entrance lobby.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109122 project_image_fid=200036]

With a distinct curved fa&ccedil;ade made up of pre-cast concrete, the complimenting marble and natural tones throughout tie the building to its surrounds.

Crowning Ellipse is a shared rooftop space, decked out with a fire pit and seating areas, allowing residents to soak in the surrounding CBD and ocean views.

Landing on Waverly Crescent, residents are just minutes from a range of amenity, including the infamous Bondi Beach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109122 project_image_fid=200034]

&ldquo;The living possibilities are infinite at Ellipse Residences. You are only minutes away from everything you need, the beach, Westfield Bondi Junction, Sydney CBD, educational institutions, local conveniences, public transport, organic cafes, vibrant bars and restaurants,&rdquo; a HSN spokesperson said.
