The apartments, designed by&nbsp;SRH Architecture, will range in size between 114 sqm and 220 sqm.

SRH’s architectural plans indicate a contemporary façade treatment with varied setbacks to address both Marvell Street and Marvell Lane frontages.&nbsp;

Landscaped common areas are proposed, including 134 sqm of gardens, while deep planting is incorporated to improve the interface with surrounding properties.

BASIX commitments show the project exceeding NSW sustainability targets, achieving a water score of 49 against the target of 40, and an energy score of 61 over the target of 60. All apartments have been designed to achieve compliance with thermal performance standards.

The development would involve the demolition of a single storey cottage on the site.

RNB Property Group has developed across Sydney's affluent eastern suburbs for decades. They met with the Byron Bay Council prior to the recent submission. They only received one written submission from locals, who requested a redesign of the building to respond more&nbsp;to the local context through form, material palette and native landscaping.

Changes to aspects of the design have been undertaken in response to the feedback.

Eastern Suburbs developer heads north to Byron's Marvell Street

The new apartment pipeline in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs is hotting up heading into summer.

But buyers are very particular, considering they're buying into the most expensive area of real estate in the country.

1st City agent Yaron Foghel has noted an increase in buyer demand in new and off the plan apartments in the east, from both owner occupiers and investors.

"They're looking to take advantage of future market potential," Foghel says.

New projects allow buyers to secure a property at today's prices with the potential for appreciation by the time of completion," Foghel says.

Foghel has distilled buyers' main criteria into the 'Three V's.'

"Buyers want views, a village, and value. The Three V's are crucial in driving demand."

A spectacular view of the ocean, harbour, or city skyline can significantly enhance a property's appeal and price, Foghel says.

"Additionally, the charm of a local village, with its vibrant cafes, boutique shops, and community vibe, adds a sense of belonging and convenience.

Foghel says value has always been a major driver.

"Buyers seek properties that offer long-term investment potential, balancing luxury and lifestyle with future growth prospects in highly sought-after areas.

Foghel is marketing two developments that offer each of the 'Three V's.'

One of the most unique projects on the market in the Eastern Suburbs is Mangata, the latest luxury development from&nbsp;<a href="/developers/rnb-property-group">RnB Property Group</a> in&nbsp;<a href="/developments/vaucluse-nsw-2030">Vaucluse</a>.

<a href="/new-apartments/mangata-27-29-kimberley-street-vaucluse">Mangata</a>, named after the Swedish word meaning 'the road-like reflection of moonlight on water', comprises just four full-floor apartments positioned on&nbsp;the iconic Federation Cliff Walk, offering panoramic views from Dover Heights to Watson's Bay.

The most recent release has been in <a href="/developments/bondi-junction-nsw-2022">Bondi Junction</a> where <a href="/project-marketer/1st-city-projects">1st City Projects</a> is marketing Origami, the first <a href="/architects/koichi-takada-architects">Koichi Takada</a>-designed development in Bondi Junction.

<a href="/new-apartments/origami-bondi-junction-55-grafton-street-bondi-junction">Origami</a>, developed and built by JQZ, comprises 88 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments. Even the one-bedroom apartments toward the bottom of the building have never-to-be-built-out harbour views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9002 project_image_fid=296377]

The Grafton Street development features a range of commercial spaces on the ground level that can be customised by their owners to be anything from a home gym, office, or music studio.

Residents will have access to a rooftop pool with extensive harbour views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9002 project_image_fid=296388]

The development, with a 24/7 concierge and smart parking system, will reset price records for Bondi Junction.

"This will no doubt be Bondi Junction's best new development," Foghel says.

"JQZ changed the density and design of the building when they bought the site a few years ago to make sure it stands the test of time as the standout building in the area."

The "Three V's" Eastern Suburbs new apartment buyers are seeking

With over 15 years development experience across Sydney&#39;s eastern suburbs, RnB Property Group have taken to the sought after Bellevue Hill for their latest project.

Drawing inspiration from the original building&nbsp;which laid claim to the 49 Drumalbyn site before the recent development, Palomar will deliver just&nbsp;eight&nbsp;residences to the&nbsp;prestigious&nbsp;enclave.

RnB say Palomar evokes a timeless romance, with the development curated with&nbsp;Mediterranean-style architecture.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14891 project_image_fid=203718]

The built form comprises a white brick-finish fa&ccedil;ade, with arched bronze windows encompassing some of the most impressive north harbour aspects.

The residences will include three-bedrooms, with state-of-the-art finishes and a modern Australian sensibility that brings a unique quality of design and luxury to the enviable pocket.

Bathed in northern light, Palomar also incorporates expansive gardens and terraces, featuring floral terrazzo tiles, stone-clad exteriors and lush oasis-inspired landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14891 project_image_fid=203721]

Stepping inside Palomar, the interiors are coloured with an earthy palette, complimented with organic textures.

An organic minimalism is featured throughout Palomar&#39;s kitchens, comprising honed limestone bench tops, splashbacks of handmade Spanish tiles, powder-coated white and bronze lattice cabinetry, as well as fully integrated Gaggenau appliances.&nbsp;

Construction is set to wrap up later this year on the boutique&nbsp;project, with 1st City Agent, Yaron Foghel saying the respect the developers and architects have paid to the existing heritage of the building is something that truely sets Palomar apart.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14891 project_image_fid=203719]

&quot;The design of Palomar, with the&nbsp;white bricks and organic materials really&nbsp;respects&nbsp;the original building design,&quot; he said.

&quot;While they&#39;ve created a brand new building, they&#39;ve kept the same name and overall look of the original building.&quot;

Foghel said they had a number of local downsizers taking up stock at the Bellevue Hill project, along with international buyers from Hong Kong and Singapore.

&quot;We&#39;ve seen high interest particularly from expats, as well as local downsizers&nbsp;who are&nbsp;looking to stay maintain the exclusive&nbsp;eastern suburbs address, while enjoying the luxuries of apartment-style living.&quot;
