As Sydney continues to face strong population growth and constrained housing supply, Abadeen is entering one of the most active delivery phases in the company’s history.

Sydney’s housing undersupply has intensified competition for well-located development sites, particularly across established harbour-side suburbs where planning constraints limit the delivery of new housing.

Across 2025, 2026 and into 2027, the developer is progressing a significant pipeline of premium residential projects across New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, while also expanding its future development pipeline through a series of strategic acquisitions. These acquisitions represent a new development pipeline in excess of $1 billion in end value, reinforcing Abadeen’s continued growth across key lifestyle markets.

The company’s approach remains consistent: carefully selected locations, design-led architecture and projects that enhance the surrounding neighbourhood.

Led by Executive Chairman and Founder Justin Brown, Abadeen continues to strengthen its development capability as it delivers one of the most active project pipelines in the company’s history.

Brown says the coming years will see Abadeen deliver a diverse mix of projects across established urban precincts and emerging residential markets.

“We’ve always focused on creating homes that people genuinely want to live in, not just buildings,” Brown says.

“What we’re seeing across Sydney is a real shift in the buyer profile. More people are choosing to rightsize into well-designed apartments in established neighbourhoods rather than move further away from the communities they already know.”

“That demand is particularly strong in places like the Lower North Shore and Eastern Suburbs, where people value walkable villages, proximity to the harbour and homes that feel more like houses in the way they live.”

Several projects are approaching completion through 2025 and 2026, including a number of boutique residential developments across Sydney’s Lower North Shore and Inner North.

Among them are Park Residences in Cremorne, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/northcote-collective-naremburn-2-6-northcote-street-naremburn-nsw-2065">Northcote Collective</a> in Naremburn, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-villas-neutral-bay-7-11-premier-street-neutral-bay-nsw-2089">The Villas</a> in Neutral Bay, Villea on the Gold Coast, and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/mosman-residences-22-clifford-street-mosman-nsw-2088">Mosman Residences</a> in Mosman, continuing Abadeen’s long-standing presence and leading position in Sydney’s Lower North Shore residential market, one of the most tightly held lifestyle precincts in the country.

Alongside these projects, Abadeen continues to expand its long-term pipeline through a series of strategic site acquisitions across Sydney’s most tightly held lifestyle markets.

Recent acquisitions include <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/101-115-edgecliff-road-woollahra-nsw-2025">101–115 Edgecliff Road</a> in Woollahra, as well as <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/19-21-barry-street-neutral-bay-nsw-2089">19–21 Barry Street</a> in Neutral Bay, both positioned close to key transport connections, village retail and lifestyle amenities, where plans have been lodged for boutique residential developments.

On the Northern Beaches, the company has secured 26 The Strand in Dee Why, a rare beachfront site, along with a substantial 4,178 sqm holding at Pittwater Road and Albert Street in Narrabeen, creating opportunities for future residential development in tightly held coastal locations.

Abadeen has also strengthened its presence in Mosman through the acquisition of the Midas and Honeysuckle nursery sites on Military Road, further expanding the company’s footprint across the Lower North Shore.

In Victoria, Abadeen has also continued to expand its development pipeline, building on the success of Malea in Malvern East and securing additional residential development opportunities across Melbourne’s inner eastern suburbs.

Brown says the acquisitions reflect Abadeen’s disciplined long-term investment strategy and its focus on securing well-located sites in established neighbourhoods.

“In established suburbs like Mosman, Woollahra or the Northern Beaches, opportunities to create new housing are incredibly rare. When a site does come up, you have to consider how it will evolve over the long term, not just through a development cycle.”

“Most of the sites we’re acquiring today were never intended to become residential developments. They’re nurseries, older commercial buildings, or underutilised sites that have been part of the neighbourhood for decades.

“The challenge is finding a way to introduce new housing while still respecting the character and scale of the surrounding area.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136776 project_image_fid=272412]

A strong pipeline of apartment developments across Sydney continues to underpin Abadeen’s growth strategy.

Head of Development – NSW Apartments, Michael Clark, oversees the company’s current portfolio and growing apartment pipeline.

Clark says the breadth of projects across the portfolio reflects continued demand for well-designed homes in established lifestyle locations.

“The majority of buyers in these projects aren’t first-home buyers or investors. They’re people moving out of family homes who want a different lifestyle without leaving the neighbourhood they’ve lived in for years.”

“That means the apartments have to work very differently — larger kitchens, more storage, proper laundry rooms, and spaces that feel more like a house than a typical apartment,” Clark says.

“In established areas such as Woollahra, the challenge is always finding the right balance between respecting the existing character of the neighbourhood and delivering new housing that supports Sydney’s long-term growth. Our approach is to work closely with leading architects and heritage specialists to ensure new development responds carefully to its context while still providing much-needed additional housing.

“Ultimately our focus is on delivering projects that contribute positively to the streetscape and the broader neighbourhood while maintaining the level of design quality and long-term value that Abadeen is known for.”

Image supplied

Abadeen is also introducing a new platform focused on larger-scale greenfield residential house and land opportunities as the company continues to expand its national pipeline.

Brown says the new platform will allow the company to pursue additional opportunities while maintaining the same development philosophy that has guided Abadeen’s growth.&nbsp;

“As our pipeline continues to expand, we’re also looking at how we grow the business in a way that stays true to our core principles,” Brown says.

“This new platform will allow us to explore larger-scale opportunities while maintaining the same focus on design quality, liveability and long-term value that defines our projects.”

Looking ahead to 2027 and beyond, Abadeen continues to actively assess new opportunities across Sydney and key interstate markets as it builds on the momentum of its expanding development pipeline.

For Brown, the company’s focus remains on quality rather than scale.

“The most valuable projects are the ones that still feel relevant twenty years later.”

“If a building ages well, integrates into its neighbourhood and continues to attract people who want to live there, that’s the real measure of success,” he says.

Justin Brown on Abadeen’s 2026–2027 pipeline: National acquisition drive adds $1 billion to apartment development pipeline

Sydney builder-developer DASCO has steadily built a reputation for delivering design-led residential communities over the last three decades. Over the past three years, however, the company has entered a significant growth phase. It now has around 1,000 apartments in its own development pipeline, while continuing to build projects for other major developers.

Its portfolio spans a diverse range of locations: Epping in Sydney’s north-west, Waterloo on the inner-city fringe, and St Leonards in the booming Lower North Shore market.

A common thread across DASCO’s projects is a strong emphasis on amenity and place-making. The group is carving out a reputation as a developer focused on creating genuine communities, whether through curated retail and hospitality offerings or extensive private resident facilities.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dasco-australia">DASCO</a> made a decisive statement in 2023 when it acquired a prime 1.7-hectare Waterloo site from Melbourne-based Dahua Group. The new precinct, Danks St District, is being delivered in a similar vein to TOGA’s Surry Hills Village, conceived as a destination for both residents and the broader community. The vision is to inject new energy into Waterloo, a suburb that has historically lacked diverse food and beverage offerings. DASCO believes its carefully integrated hospitality spaces will further revitalise the area and strengthen its identity as a lifestyle destination.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111820 project_image_fid=344703]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/danks-st-district-waterloo-903-921-bourke-street-waterloo-nsw-2017">Danks St District</a> will comprise six new residential buildings delivering 347 apartments. As part of the project, DASCO will also restore two heritage-listed structures: the 1922 Pumping Station and the 1935 Valve House, preserving a tangible link to the suburb’s industrial past.

The new buildings, designed by Bates Smart, MHNDU, Fieldwork and Turner Studio, will vary in scale and density, from a 21 storeys tower with terraces adjoining a new park, to a boutique seven-storey plaza building.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111820 project_image_fid=344705]

The first release, Bourke Street Residences, will offer a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, designed by MHNDU in collaboration with Melbourne-based landscape architect Fieldwork. The sculpted building draws inspiration from the site’s natural qualities and heritage elements, blending old and new in a refined contemporary expression. Residents will have access to private amenities including a rooftop garden with city views, a sheltered barbecue area, an outdoor gym and a soundproofed music room.&nbsp;

A laneway-style dining precinct, Bourke Street Eatery, will offer a vibrant mix of cafes, wine bars, and eateries, mirroring the area's contemporary food scene. Running alongside it, Washer’s Lane will introduce an eclectic mix of boutiques and artisanal vendors, providing a platform for local creatives and entrepreneurs to showcase their work in a modern, walkable setting. At the centre of the 1.7-hectare masterplan is Danks Street Square, a public plaza framed by contemporary architecture and lush landscaping. The space is designed to host regular events, weekend markets, and community gatherings, creating a strong sense of connection among residents and visitors alike.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111820 project_image_fid=344587]

In north west Sydney, DASCO recently launched its Epping development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/senso-epping-242-244-beecroft-road-epping-nsw-2121">Senso</a>, a 479-apartment project spread across five buildings on a more than 10,000 sqm Beecroft Road site, adjacent to the new Epping Town Centre and just a five-minute walk from Epping Metro Station.

The architectural brief to Turner Studio was to create a community where residents are immersed in a “paradise for the senses”. The result is a landscape-led, amenity-rich precinct unlike anything previously delivered in Epping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4397]

Apartments have been tailored to the owner-occupier market, featuring generous floorplans, premium materials and optional upgrades such as integrated refrigeration, bespoke joinery and motorised blinds.

Senso will include resort-style communal amenities, including two rooftop pools, an outdoor cinema, wellness club, sensory walk and observation deck, along with multiple barbecue and outdoor entertaining areas across several levels. More than 800 sqm of ground-floor retail is planned, likely to be activated by hospitality operators.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4396]

DASCO will bring its latest major project to market later this year. In late 2025, the company acquired a prime St Leonards site opposite Newlands Park, where it is planning across three buildings.

DASCO’s placemaking prowess on show as Waterloo and Epping precincts come to life

What began as a leap of faith in the 1970s has evolved into one of the Gold Co​ast's most enduring development success stories. Raptis, now led by second-generation developer Evan Raptis, continues to shape the region's skyline four decades after patriarch Jim Raptis first ventured north from Sy​dney.

Jim Raptis began developing in Sy​dney in his 20s under the guidance of a seasoned mentor. After several successful joint ventures, he sensed untapped potential on the Gold Coast and made the bold decision to relocate. That instinct proved prescient, the Raptis family has contributed thousands of apartments to what was once purely a tourist destination and is now recognised as Australia's lifestyle capital.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101620 project_image_fid=361818]

With decades of experience navigating the complex Gold Coast development landscape, Raptis maintains fully vertical integration, from site acquisition and construction through to marketing and sales strategies. This comprehensive approach has allowed the company to weather multiple market cycles and emerge well-positioned for the region's continued growth.

"We've seen the region change drastically over the last two decades, with that change accelerating in the last five years," says Evan Raptis. "The Gold Coast is becoming unrecognisable. There are some exciting projects happening up and down the coast. The Spit is being talked about as Australia's version of Monaco, with billions in development underway."

Unlike the volatile pre-GFC years that rocked the Gold Coast market, Raptis believes the region has matured considerably. "Demand remains strong, but the market is now settled and stable."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101620 project_image_fid=361823]

While the company recently completed Pearl Main Beach, an 84-apartment development just 53 steps from the sand, Broadbeach has truly been home for the Raptis family.

"There's nothing Broadbeach doesn't have," Raptis says. "There's always a new café or restaurant coming into the neighbourhood, and the redevelopment of the Niecon Plaza, bringing nearly 5,500 square metres of retail, dining and office space, will only elevate Broadbeach even further."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101620 project_image_fid=357483]

The suburb has reached what Raptis describes as a "settled phase" of its evolution, with owner-occupiers and repeat visitors increasingly shaping demand rather than traditional investors.

The company's latest Broadbeach project, Sterling, is now constructed to level 22 and scheduled for handover in June 2026. With approximately 70 per cent of apartments already sold ahead of completion, the development has attracted a distinct buyer profile.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101620 project_image_fid=361821]

"We're seeing significant interest from lock-up-and-leave buyers and downsizers," Raptis explains. "Some use the apartments over Easter or Christmas, while others come down from Brisbane on weekends. They aren't your typical 'investors' who will put the apartments up for permanent rental."

Sterling offers prospective buyers a rare advantage: fully completed display apartments showcasing several two- and three-bedroom configurations, something few off-the-plan developments can provide.

With another Broadbeach project in the pipeline, Raptis emphasises that the next chapter is about maintaining standards rather than pursuing growth at any cost.

"We've been building for over four decades, and our track record matters. Our focus remains the same: deliver what we build, stay close to the details, and delivering a finished product that hopefully exceeds our clients' expectations."

It’s all in the family: Four decades later, Raptis continues to shape the Gold Coast skyline

Luxury developer Martello™ is bringing its Melb​ourne smarts to the Gold Coast, one of the hottest property markets in the country.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a>, proudly a female-led business, has delivered a string of premium residential projects predominantly across Mel​bourne’s blue-chip Bayside suburbs.

While now aiming higher into the sky to be more inline with demand in the Gold Coast, Martello™ will continue to uphold its wellness-first and human-centric development ethos. This extends beyond extensive amenities to encompass architecture, natural light and considered design that supports everyday wellbeing.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=365232]

On expanding operations to the Gold Coast, Martello Director Elaine Poulter said the move represents the next phase of Martello™’s evolution, with Queensland standing out for its “long-term strength, lifestyle appeal and the scale of investment shaping its future.”

“This expansion is a considered move into markets where quality, liveability and long-term value will continue to matter,” Poulter said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=365237]

Billions of dollars are currently being invested in transport, urban renewal and community infrastructure across Queensland, strengthening connectivity between coastal precincts, lifestyle hubs and employment centres well ahead of 2032.

“We see Olympic-led infrastructure as a catalyst for lasting change,” she said. “It’s about building places that remain relevant and connected long after the Games.”

Martello™ will kick off its Gold Coast debut with an exclusive collection of 32 full-floor residences on Chevron Island. The prime site is positioned a stone’s throw from Chevron Island Village, and enjoys effortless access to the renowned dining, shopping and lifestyle offerings of Surfers Paradise.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=365234]

The developer has added a sought-after project in one of Broadbeach’s most tightly held areas to its portfolio and is actively exploring further opportunities across the Gold Coast with Kirra Beach and Palm Beach in its crosshairs.

“Our projects will respond intuitively to coastline, hinterland, topography and local character, with environmental and community considerations embedded throughout the development process,”&nbsp;Poulter added.

“Our approach is always to respond to place rather than impose on it.”

Martello™’s Chevron Island project will officially launch to the market in the coming weeks, marking a major milestone ahead of construction commencing in Q2 2026.

Martello™ breaks into booming Gold Coast market with wellness-led living

Few developers in South East Queensland have shaped the new development apartment market as profoundly, or as consistently, as Mosaic Property Group. In 2025, the business delivered another very strong year across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast, building on the foundations of nearly two decades of discipline, long-term thinking, and relentless refinement of its craft.

Their continued success is driven from the top. Founder and Managing Director Brook Monahan, very much credits the success to a workforce of “massive grafters”, and a culture where complacency simply doesn’t exist.

“In every part of our business, we’re constantly pushing to get better” Monahan told <a href="http://apartments.com.au">Apartments.com.au</a>. “We never rest on our laurels.”

The company’s growth continued its upward trajectory, with the developer completing six luxury projects in 2025, representing approximately $850 million in value and delivering 536 new luxury homes. Mosaic also sold over $1.4 billion worth a new luxury apartments at an average price point of $3.41 million in 2025.

Heading into 2026, they have a further five projects under construction and an immediate pipeline across Brisbane and the Gold Coast, representing just shy of $2 billion in value. I spoke with Brook about everything from the evolution of Mosaic’s business to the fundamentals driving the SEQ property market.

<img alt="Brook" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ea443354-6099-40c2-970b-06cab2e842d1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-12%20at%2010.21.14%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=anKZRLE61XX0opq0PCZMDsmwVWqNF.Od" />

<hr />
<h2>A market defined by two forces</h2>

The fundamental drivers of SEQ’s housing dynamics in 2025 are straightforward: a generational transfer of wealth on a scale Australia has never seen, and migration numbers that continue to exceed expectations.

“An enormous amount of wealth will move through the next decade,” Monahan explains. “That wave isn’t going anywhere.” Simultaneously, “you can’t run migration at the numbers we’re seeing, while also having a generational shift of wealth from boomers, and not expect demand to remain strong. People move here, they bring money, they want to buy a home and create a future.”

While top-end product in some pockets has softened from the frenzy of 18 months ago, Monahan believes&nbsp; the wave will remain “pretty strong,” especially for developers with brand trust and a long-term track record.&nbsp;

“The $4 million to $10 million segment remains fairly robust, but buyers are much more educated now than they’ve ever been. They have access to information and they’re smart people. They’re generally not&nbsp; willing to trust a new entrant asking $15 million with no track record.”

This heightened consumer discernment, he notes, is reshaping how premium projects are evaluated by developers.

<hr />
<h2>The problem behind the crisis</h2>

Despite strong demand, SEQ’s housing market remains severely undersupplied. Brisbane needs around 12,000 new homes per year, yet delivered only 4,000 last year. The Gold Coast requires around 6500 but delivered less than half of that. The backlog is massive.

“We’re probably 54,000 homes short in the next five years in Brisbane alone,” Monahan estimates. “Maybe 100,000 across the whole of Queensland.”

The core issue however isn’t planning.&nbsp;

“The planning environment is actually super supportive right now,” he says. “Approvals aren’t the problem. It’s turning approvals into real supply.”

The gap between development approvals and project starts has widened significantly as construction costs escalate, contractors disappear from the market, and inexperienced developers try, and fail, to bring projects to life.

“A development application (DA) is only part of the equation, it means little without the ability to deliver,” he explains. “Many applicants underestimate the complexity involved. It’s not just about securing a site; you need the right formula and all the right ingredients to make it work. Without that, the end result will fall short of expectations and increase the risk of project failure.

The result is market distortion: sites tied up by entrants who lack experience, capital certainty, construction understanding, or a realistic feasibility model. “It’s not good for the industry,” he says. “You get more and more mooted supply but very little real delivery.”

<hr />
<h2>Construction realities and the coming resource crunch</h2>

Beyond development capability, SEQ faces macroeconomic pressures. Over $7 billion must be delivered by late 2031 just for Olympics-related obligations. Add $18 billion in hospital and health infrastructure, and the region faces a “resource drain” Monahan believes will reshape delivery timelines and construction pricing for years.

“It will ultimately be great for SEQ for the next 20 years,” he says. “But it puts enormous pressure on an already chronically undersupplied housing market.”

This pressure will inevitably influence pricing. Double-digit growth cannot continue indefinitely, but Monahan sees no path to meaningfully lower construction costs. “It’s impossible to meet demand at a cheaper price point given labour capability and resource competition,” he says.

“Those who can afford it will keep paying more and the rest are fighting to get a foothold. That’s why the market keeps creeping upward.”

<hr />
<h2>Mosaic’s disciplined blueprint: Only A-Grade, iconic, irreplicable</h2>

With a long track record of delivery and in-house construction expertise, Mosaic works backwards from the cost of delivery to determine the right price for a site—a disciplined acquisition model they’ve adhered to from day one.

&nbsp;“We’re never out of the market,” Monahan says. “But we’re extremely disciplined. We don’t buy B+ sites. We won’t buy run-of-the-mill locations. Ever. That’s not our brand and it’s also not economically viable for us in most instances.”

Mosaic’s nine current developments illustrate this discipline:

<ul>
	<li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lily-by-mosaic-4-rosewood-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4218">Lily</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/marella-146-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">Marella</a>, Broadbeach: Two 30-storey buildings with permanently protected views over parkland, beach and coastline

	&nbsp;</li>

	&nbsp;</li>

	&nbsp;</li>
	<li aria-level="1">South Brisbane (launching 2026) – core inner-city Brisbane river waterfront site on the northern end of the peninsula with amazing river connection and permanent river and city views, amazing walk score</li>
</ul>

“Nothing we buy is guesswork,” Monahan says. “It’s always an iconic suburb where people genuinely want to live, with strong connections to water, lifestyle, amenity, or permanent view corridors.”

“Mosaic’s two most recent Brisbane acquisitions were several years in the making. The Bedford, launched on the prestigious Kangaroo Point peninsula and achieving 90 per cent sales within months was a site they identified back in 2016. The second, which is the yet to be released at 91 Montague Road in South Brisbane, has been on Mosaic’s radar since 2017.&nbsp;

Arguably one of Brisbane’s last great inner city riverfront sites, it sits within the city’s most dynamic cultural hub, offering unrivalled connectivity, lifestyle, and amenity, and standing as a landmark opportunity to define the next era of riverfront living.

“We know exactly what is and isn’t a Mosaic project. Strategic site selection is the critical foundation of everything we do. We’re always assessing opportunities, but based on our two most recent Brisbane acquisitions, it’s entirely possible that the sites we’re looking at today won’t transact for several years. That discipline is what ensures every project meets our exacting standards.”

<hr />
<h2>The Mosaic engine: Consistency, capability, and relentless execution</h2>

What separates Mosaic in a crowded field is not the ability to attract capital or buy a site, but the ability to deliver highly complex high end buildings, whether that is 37 storeys or 18 storeys, repeatedly and consistently.

“These buildings are inherently complex to deliver well,” Monahan says. “It takes a long time to know exactly what the market wants, how to deliver it, how to secure the right contractors and consultants, and how to align the product with what the market is actually willing to pay and can afford.”

With so many contractors exiting the market in recent years, genuine delivery capability has become increasingly rare. Monahan welcomes credible new entrants but cautions that underestimating the complexity of luxury development can lead to poor outcomes.&nbsp;

“It’s easy to assume high-end projects equal high returns, but without the right experience, track record, and capability, it’s a tough road. Attracting capital is one thing—delivering on expectations is another, and when that doesn’t happen, it impacts the entire market.’”

<hr />
<h2>Looking to 2026: A pipeline built on patience and precision</h2>

As 2025 draws to a close, Mosaic stands at the strongest point in its history. Since 2012 alone, the company has completed more than $2 billion in projects and is set to deliver another $2 billion worth of developments, hundreds of luxury apartments, all bearing Mosaic’s hallmark of impeccable delivery.&nbsp;

Next to launch are two standout projects: Josephine, an exclusive collection of just 30 half- and full-floor ultra-luxury residences coming soon to the Burleigh Heads beachfront, and a landmark tower on Montague Road in South Brisbane, comprising 204 apartments in the heart of the city’s cultural hub on the banks of the Brisbane river.

“We never arrive. There’s no finish line for us,” said Monahan. “Our focus is on continuing to evolve in the luxury space, creating incredible, design- and lifestyle-led properties that people love living in and that stand the test of time.”

What’s ahead for South East Queensland’s next development wave: Five minutes with Mosaic’s Brook Monahan

There are few property developers nationally that can boast a workbook like the ASX-listed developer Cedar Woods. With eight apartment buildings under construction across four states, Cedar Woods is well positioned to take advantage of what Managing Director Nathan Blackburne says is a “national shortage of apartments.”

Cedar Woods purposefully has a diversified portfolio of apartments, townhouses, commercial, and residential communities across the country, enabling the business to remain resilient through market cycles and respond to shifting buyer demand.

Blackburne says there is a great shortfall of housing of all typologies, none more so for apartments. He says that is the case particularly in Perth, where the lack of new apartment projects has been particularly acute.

“Perth has been more affected than Melbourne,” Blackburne explains, noting that over the past five years, “very few new apartment projects” have been launched in either city. Historically, apartments made up around 20 per cent of new housing nationally. Cedar Woods estimates that figure has fallen to around 10 per cent today, a gap they believe must close.

<h2>Apartment appeal rebounding as supply shrinks</h2>

There are signs the tide is turning however. Blackburne says buyer apartment sentiment really picked up in mid 2025. “In October we saw our strongest sales month for apartments in Perth.” The buyer demand has driven their Subiaco apartment development, Incontro, to nearly 70 per cent sold. The increased buyer sentiment has strengthened Cedar Woods’ confidence in bringing forward the next apartment project in Western Australia, a three tower development planned for the prime site on Upham Street in Subiaco, adjacent to Incontro.

Demand is being driven by several factors; the lack of new apartments coming to the market, the increased demand with migration far outstripping the aforementioned supply, and the appetite to live closer to the city.

“Over the past three years, Perth’s population has grown by around 250,000 people, while only around 50,000 dwellings have been delivered,” Blackburne says, adding that more than twice that number would be needed just to keep up.&nbsp;

He said that many buyers are being forced to the urban fringe because of the greater supply of land product, but that, Blackburne argues, is pushing the fringe further out and motivating a re-evaluation of the value of inner- and middle-suburb apartments.

Demographic shifts are helping drive this rethink. Cedar Woods is seeing more boomers downsizing, young professionals entering the market, and a rising number of single-person households. There’s also a growing trend of parents buying apartments for teenage children, motivated by fears that housing prices will become out of reach. “It’s not only a strong investment now, but it can serve as a first home when their children move out.”

<h2>National diversification strategy</h2>

Cedar Woods’ strategy is not limited to Perth. Blackburne outlines their aim to diversify by price point, product type, and geography, which “gives us a broad customer base and smoother earnings profile.” Throughout their markets, they’re combining apartments, townhouses, and masterplanned communities, allowing flexibility to pivot toward undersupplied segments as demand evolves.

In Victoria, Cedar Woods is pressing ahead with a major site in Fairfield, just northeast of Melbourne’s CBD, a site which Blackburne says the company has had its sights on for many years. They are planning to deliver three towers with over 300 apartments, with the plans likely to be submitted in early 2026.

Blackburne also expresses optimism about broader inner-Melbourne supply dynamics. 
 
“While Melbourne’s apartment market is better supplied than Perth’s, and population growth remains strong, Cedar Woods believes the current stock will be absorbed quickly,” Blackburne says, however he warns that policy disincentives remain. “In Victoria … there are quite a lot of obstacles for apartment buyers,” he says, adding that the industry is working with the state government to “remove those barriers” and avert prolonged undersupply.

Cedar Woods has plans on the desks of the VIC Government to develop a 20-storey tower in Southbank, in the heart of Melbourne’s arts precinct. Designed by Rothelowman, the proposed tower will deliver 180 apartments, ranging from studios to three-bedrooms, along with creative amenity space devoted to arts and digital industries, a food and drink tenancy at street level, and a 700sqm recreation deck with indoor lounge space will provide a resident amenity hub.

Blackburne frames the project as a response to Melbourne’s growing undersupply of signature inner-city living. “We saw a thematic: a looming undersupply in inner-Melbourne, particularly in high-quality apartments, and wanted to capitalise on that,” he says. The site’s proximity to the Melbourne Arts Precinct, key tram lines, and Southbank’s cultural fabric makes it especially appealing, Blackburne says.

<h2>Charting the course forward</h2>

On top of the apartment developments underway and planned in Perth and Melbourne, Cedar Woods has a multi-stage apartment development in Brisbane’s Woolloowin, and several years remaining on their masterplanned communities in Williams Landing in Melbourne and Glenside in Adelaide, both of which offer a mix of apartments and townhouses.

Blackburne says the developer has been able to mitigate some of the macro risks currently at play in the new development space, particularly in the construction sector.

“Cedar Woods has been able to make many apartment projects work because of good buying of the raw land in the first place, as well as its strong pipeline of apartment projects, enabling the company to attract builders to build deep, multi-year relationships.”&nbsp;

For Cedar Woods, 2026 is set to be significant, with anticipated approvals and submissions laying the groundwork for fresh apartment supply and multiple launches in 2027.

Cedar Woods ramps up apartment development amid Australia’s deepening housing shortfall

It’s been nearly two decades since Barry Morris’ then-burgeoning Canberra-based property development company, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/morris-property-group">Morris Property Group</a>, expanded into the Gold Coast apartment market, and there are no signs of them slowing down. Morris has developed a particular penchant for Broadbeach, having completed eight projects in the sought-after suburb since Verve on Old Burleigh Road in 2006.

Their most recent completion was around 12 months ago, when Morris’ in-house construction arm finished Malo Broadbeach, 16 half-floor apartments on Jubilee Avenue, neighbouring their earlier projects, Qube and Synergy.

One of their latest releases, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/maison-broadbeach-22-chelsea-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4218">Maison Broadbeach</a>, continues the developer’s focus on boutique, low-density living. Maison will comprise just 21 full-floor apartments on Chelsea Avenue, one of Broadbeach’s most in-demand streets given its position across from Broadbeach Park. Each three-bedroom residence spans more than 180 sqm and features open-plan living and dining areas that extend to private balconies with parkland and coastal views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113008 project_image_fid=318654]

Buyers can choose between two interior schemes, Lumière, a light coastal palette, or Noir, a richer, moodier aesthetic, both designed in collaboration with Poppy Designs. Premium finishes include Siemens and Bosch appliances, Vintec wine fridges, Villeroy &amp; Boch fittings, and herringbone flooring throughout the main living areas.

Residents will also have access to a suite of rooftop amenities on level 24, including a pool and deck, gym and sauna, residents’ lounge, and barbecue pavilion, all designed to take full advantage of elevated views over Broadbeach and the Surfers Paradise skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113008 project_image_fid=352171]

Morris has a proven track record of delivering both boutique and large-scale developments, reflected in their other major Broadbeach project currently under construction, Crest Broadbeach. One of the most popular Gold Coast apartment developments on Apartments.com.au since its launch, Crest will bring around 340 apartments to Armrick Avenue.

Much like Maison, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/crest-broadbeach-13-armrick-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4218">Crest</a> has drawn strong demand due to its prime location. The development is ideally positioned on the highly sought-after Armrick Avenue, a tightly held street that has seen surprisingly little apartment development despite Broadbeach’s ongoing boom. No developer has successfully delivered a high-rise on the street, until now.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112024 project_image_fid=343117]

Armrick Avenue offers two key advantages for both investors and owner-occupiers: its proximity to Broadbeach Park, one of the suburb’s most beloved green spaces, and its adjacency to local icons such as the Broadbeach Bowls Club, a community fixture since the 1950s, and the Broadbeach Surf Life Saving Club. Crest residents will enjoy protected, uninterrupted southern views thanks to the park’s government-owned land, which will never be built upon.

Beyond its location and natural outlook, Crest will offer residents an extensive range of on-site amenities, including a fully equipped gym, resort-style pool, and barbecue and alfresco entertaining areas. Around 80 per cent of the apartments in the first tower have already sold, prompting the recent release of the second tower.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112024 project_image_fid=343237]

Morris is delivering both towers simultaneously, with construction well underway, the tower crane is now installed on-site, and excavation is nearing completion on the fifth basement level. Both towers are scheduled for completion by mid-2027.

Morris Property continues to reshape Broadbeach skyline

From suburban apartment blocks to skyline-defining towers, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a>’s journey over the past 26 years has been one of consistent expansion and scale. The last decade in particular has seen Deicorp become one of the most prolific developers in Greater Sydney. Now with a $3.5 billion pipeline and some of its boldest projects yet, the developer is taking on central Sydney, starting with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hyde-metropolitan-sydney-133-141-liverpool-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Hyde Metropolitan</a>.

Deicorp founder Fouad Deiri started the company in 1999 initially working out of a small office in Hurstville, with a 21-unit townhouse project in Albert Street Newtown. With a small but capable team, they utilised their extensive construction industry experience to grow the scale and complexity of jobs to now having a team of more than 200 with more than 4,000 units currently under construction.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21809 project_image_fid=351911]

One of their most significant developments, Hyde Metropolitan, will arguably become one of their greatest feats, reshaping the city skyline at the southern end of Hyde Park.

Deicorp is already nearly five years into the development process. It was 2021 when they secured the Polding Centre, a 1970s, 24-storey office building on the corner of Liverpool and Castlereagh Street, from the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney, following a six-month competitive process.

As per the City of Sydney regulations when developing within their council to the scale of such a building, the council undertook a competitive design process where architects put forward different designs and schemes for the site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21809 project_image_fid=215742]

They settled on the proposal by renowned architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/candalepas-associates">Angelo Candelapas</a>, which would bring to life their vision to create one of the best new developments within the CBD.

“I cannot imagine anything more beautiful than the delivery of a building which can demonstrate a deep affection for our sun,” Angelo Candelapas said of the design. “It is a building with dramatic foyers and an oasis garden for the residents. These two facilities link to provide a sense of wellness and nature in the centre of the city.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21809 project_image_fid=215741]

Fouad Deiri said he had long admired the innovation and design language of Candelapas.

“Deicorp has deliberately partnered with some of Sydney’s most recognised and capable architects in the past and we understand the value of working with truly talented designers,” Deiri said.

There are just under 170 apartments on offer at Hyde Metropolitan, a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences, many with never-to-be-built-out views over Hyde Park and towards the Harbour.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21809 project_image_fid=215728]

Upon arrival, residents will be greeted by an eight-level-high private lobby with arched cathedral fenestrations, serving as a podium to the 55-level tower. The ground level will also host a high-end restaurant and cocktail lounge, very much in keeping with its vibrant streetscape.

The resident amenity will sit on top of the podium and will feature a 25-metre pool, landscaped courtyards and gardens, a barbecue area, gym with a sauna, and a music room. Sales are being handled by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/srm-residential">SRM Residential</a>. SRM Director Dave Milton said Hyde Metropolitan will be "one of the preeminent Sydney residential developments on the southern end of Hyde Park."

Hyde Metropolitan is one of nine developments either under construction, in planning, or in market for Deicorp.

Their next project to launch, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/falcon-alexander-8-alexander-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Falcon &amp; Alexander</a> in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/crows-nest-nsw-2065">Crows Nest</a>, will be their first development on Sydney’s Lower North Shore. True to tradition, Deicorp has already commenced construction on Falcon &amp; Alexander, prominently positioned at The Five Ways junction, placing it a five-minute walk from the new Metro station and in close proximity to Crows Nest Village. The one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments will start from just under $1.3 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135323 project_image_fid=351946]

Deicorp will roll into 2026 with several more projects to launch to the market for the first time.

They have already cleared their massive 2.87-hectare site Zetland that borders Gunyama Park, where they will transform a former industrial site into <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-avenues-zetland-130-joynton-avenue-zetland-nsw-2017">The Avenues</a>, 624 apartments across nine buildings, curated ground-floor retail, purpose-built student housing, and build-to-rent dwellings delivered in partnership with Scape. It is one of the largest developments to be launched in Sydney’s inner south in recent years.

One of their most anticipated projects is the $1.8 billion Five Dock masterplan <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> (below), to be delivered in a joint venture with non-bank lender Metrics.

<img alt="Deicorp teams up with Metrics for $1.88 billion Kings Bay Village, Five Dock masterplan" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-08-14%20at%208.12.53%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=_9z4I8B0EIzrXe3ldnXti1bSXCeoZi2W" />

Kings Bay Village will comprise 1,185 new homes, including 218 affordable dwellings for essential workers, along with 6,500 sqm of public open space and 14,700 sqm of vibrant retail and commercial offerings.

Add to that more releases at their <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/showground-pavilions-castle-hill-3-andalusian-way-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Castle Hill Showgrounds</a> precinct, and their under construction projects in Rhodes and Parramatta, Deicorp is in the midst of adding a much-needed 3,000 new apartments to some of Sydney’s most sought-after postcodes.

Deicorp dives into luxury as Sydney apartment development pipeline grows

The builder-developer model has become a widely discussed strategy in the new development space in recent years, particularly in the face of rising labour costs, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and a shortage of high-quality builders. Many developers who built their own projects were able to mitigate these challenges and continue delivering new apartments relatively unscathed.

In Newcastle, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gwh">GWH</a> stands out as the city’s only local builder-developer. While operating relatively quietly for decades, the diversified developer is now becoming a major player in a city that is traditionally deemed a “regional market”, but has grown to be anything but. Increased interest from Sydney-based buyers, driven by remote working trends and the search for affordability that often lies well outside of Greater Sydney, has only heightened GWH’s visibility.

Their strength lies in their fully integrated business model and the local reputation they’ve built. This has helped them navigate challenges like the pandemic as well as any developer in the country, and continues to guide their growing pipeline of projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=351104]

Jonathan Craig, GWH’s Managing Director, has been with the business for nearly 30 years. He stepped out of school and straight onto a construction site with his father, a structural engineer.

“I was straight on site in Cardiff, where I met Hilton Grugeon (one of GWH’s founders). Within a week, I was working for him and Grahame Chevalley (the other founder),” Jonathan recalls.

GWH was founded in 1995, initially focusing on industrial units and then moving into bulky goods retail developments, particularly in Newcastle and Maitland. In the early 2000s, the company began developing Coles neighbourhood shopping centres. They soon built out a construction team capable of delivering larger-scale projects, paving the way for their entry into multi-residential development.

While the builder-developer model isn’t necessarily new, GWH could arguably boast one of the most vertically integrated businesses in the country. Under the umbrella of the Hunter Construction Group, GWH has access to an in-house supply chain that includes a ready-mixed concrete provider, and structural steel, aluminium windows and doors and precast panel manufacturing businesses.

“We very literally deliver the developments from the ground up,” Jonathan says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24247 project_image_fid=325758]

Jonathan reflects on GWH’s “bold move” to buy a residential development site in Newcastle West over a decade ago. “People thought we were mad. At the time, it was Newcastle’s tallest building at around 13 storeys.”

Apartment living wasn’t the norm in Newcastle back then.

“The city and surrounds were predominantly made up of single blocks with weatherboard cottages, even in the centre of the city,” he says.&nbsp;

But fast forward a decade, and the landscape has shifted dramatically.

“The market is now incredibly well-educated and much more open to what apartment living can offer.”

One of the most noticeable market shifts Jonathan has noticed in the past five to seven years has been the demand for resident facilities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24247 project_image_fid=325760]

“We started with a residential rooftop in 2018, and then added a pool and gym. Now our developments include all of the above plus cinemas, steam rooms and multiple rooftop entertaining areas.” The residential rooftop space is an amenity GWH has double-downed on in recent years. It has become one of their signature offerings, with no other developer in the area dedicating the rooftop to residents.

Another major shift over the last five years is the buyer pool. Previously, about 75 per cent of GWH’s buyers were local downsizers from within a 40-kilometre radius. Today, the buyer demographic is much more varied, with younger professionals and investors who see long-term growth in the Newcastle area becoming more prevalent.

This diversification has led GWH to design developments with a wider range of apartment configurations and sizes to meet evolving demand.

GWH has delivered over 700 apartments since entering the multi-residential sector, and will add a further 193 apartments in the coming months with the completion of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/one-apartments-newcastle-west-1-national-park-street-newcastle-west-nsw-2302">ONE Apartments</a> in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/newcastle-west-nsw-2302">Newcastle West</a>. GWH focused on larger floorplans at ONE, which are around 20 per cent larger than what is typically available in both the new development and established apartments sectors in the region. The taller of the two towers in the building, at 80m high, will become the tallest tower in Newcastle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=351103]

Just 650 metres away, GWH will soon break ground on their next project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/era-newcastle-west-124-126-bull-street-newcastle-west-nsw-2302">ERA</a>. Another two-tower development, ERA will comprise 281 apartments, an open-air swimming pool on the shared podium level, a gym with a dedicated fitness studio and a dry sauna, and a rooftop terrace crowning each building.

ERA will be GWH’s first development to include Latent Defects Insurance by Resilience Insurance, which protects buyers from structural and waterproofing defects for 10 years post-completion.

“The policy is a win for everyone,” Jonathan says.

“As a builder and developer, we take great pride in our work. Having third-party inspections throughout construction gives us confidence, and delivers peace of mind for the buyer.”

GWH plans to take out Latent Defects Insurance on all future projects.

One of GWH’s most ambitious upcoming projects will reshape the west end of Newcastle. The developer recently secured The Cambridge Hotel, situated on a prized 1,942 sqm site, along with an adjoining 4,096 sqm parcel. Together, they form a 6,038 sqm megasite set to become a mixed-use precinct, featuring significant retail and hospitality on the ground floor, and several residential towers above.

“There’s such an opportunity to deliver something really special for this part of the city. “It’s one we, as a whole business, are very much looking forward to bringing to the people of Newcastle.”

Building from the ground up: GWH takes fully-integrated development model to new heights

The onset of the pandemic was a tough time for developers across the country.

In Western Australia, development came to a grinding halt.

“There had been little to no increase in the cost to build for about 12 to 13 years before the pandemic,” Gavin Hawkins, Executive Director of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/edge-visionary-living">Edge Visionary Living</a>, one of Perth’s premier developers, told Apartments.com.au.

“Everything then went up overnight. Costs escalated, and so did the prices buyers had to pay. Pair the cost increase with the lack of available builders, and any project worth upwards of $100 million had to be paused because it wasn’t feasible to deliver.”

There were also a series of builder insolvencies, while many tier-one firms shifted their focus away from residential towers. “A lot of the large builders had taken on major government contracts for hospitals, schools and transport infrastructure, which offered lower risk and steadier returns. That left very few willing or able to deliver large-scale apartment projects in WA,” Hawkins said.

As a solution-driven business, Edge decided they would bring construction in-house.

“The builder-developer model is a more common model in the eastern states, but it hasn’t really been done in WA before,” Hawkins says. In the middle of 2023, they established Edge Construction, hiring senior staff members from reputable tier-one builders.

“We showed them our pipeline of projects, which de-risked the process somewhat, and now we have a 45-strong construction team working across our six projects currently under construction.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138456 project_image_fid=214895]

Edge’s portfolio is arguably one of the most enviable in the state, with a diverse spread both geographically and in terms of density.

In Crawley, the team is approaching completion of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/broadway-on-the-bay-crawley-168-broadway-crawley-wa-6009">Broadway on the Bay</a>, just 21 riverfront apartments in an eight-level building. North of Crawley, Edge is also soon to complete <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/claytons-mindarie-beachfront-mindarie-50-alexandria-view-mindarie-wa-6030">Claytons Mindarie Beachfront</a>, an 89-residence community comprising apartments, penthouses, and two-storey townhouses.

One of Edge’s most notable developments is <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-dunes-beachfront-residences-scarborough-1-reserve-street-scarborough-wa-6019">The Dunes</a>, a landmark project on the iconic Scarborough beachfront. Its 223 residences are spread across two buildings that will also feature a lagoon pool, wine cellar, and a series of formal and informal dining and lounge areas, reinforcing its positioning as one of the suburb’s most ambitious residential undertakings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134709 project_image_fid=248321]

Edge’s Fremantle project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/muse-at-artisan-place-fremantle-19-burt-street-fremantle-wa-6160">Muse at Artisan Place</a>, is also breaking new ground as the first, and most premium stage, of a new residential precinct in the city’s east end. They have two of the four buildings, Muse West and Muse East, under construction, which will deliver 153 of the broader Artisan Place precinct that will eventually comprise 277 residences.&nbsp;

Not forgetting the CBD fringe, Edge has also commenced the build of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lumiere-south-perth-35-mends-street-south-perth-wa-6151">Lumiere</a>, a mix of 115 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments in a striking curved building by Hilliam Architects in South Perth. Lumiere also leans heavily on resident amenity, with an infinity heated pool with cabanas, a gym with a sauna and yoga deck, billiards room and cocktail bar, a residents’ lounge with fireplace and dining area, and a street-level café and wine bar.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101025 project_image_fid=250028]

Edge is doubling down in South Perth, having recently acquired a site on Harper Terrace, the last privately held riverfront block in South Perth’s Mends Street precinct. Hawkins says the team had been working for years to secure the adjoining block, which had four separate owners in an original apartment building. Then the neighbouring cleared block came up for sale, allowing them to create a prized and unrepeatable 4,000 sqm-plus site.

The plan is to launch Harper on Swan, an 11-level building with around 71 apartments, mostly three-bedroom residences, to the market soon. Hawkins says the downsizer market in particular continues to be resilient in WA. “Now their homes are up to double what they were four years ago, and they are ready to take advantage of that and move into a new apartment,” Hawkins says.

“With strong population growth, full employment, and limited supply in the new apartment space, WA is well positioned heading into 2026.”

Edge’s portfolio is arguably one of the most enviable in the state, with a diverse spread both geographically and in terms of density.
