First look: INCA Property lodge plans for Haven Place, St Ives apartments
Sydney developer and investment firm Inca Property Group has revealed its newest apartment development.
They'll be developing in St Ives where they've submitted plans for a five-level building on a 1,927 sqm, two-site amalgamation at 6-8 Newhaven Place, near St Ives Shopping Village.
The project, dubbed Haven Place, will comprise 18 three-bedroom apartments which will fill a gap in the undersupplied downsizer market in the Ku-ring-gai area.
Tony Leung's A+ Design Group created the project, saying in their Design Verification submitted to the local council that the proposed development responds to the context of the site by providing built forms that sit in a landscaped setting, providing a positive contribution to the public domain.
"The proposed development achieves an appropriate built form in terms of building alignment, proportion and manipulation of building elements.
"The approach to the design proposal is to create simple, yet elegant built forms that sit harmoniously within the existing contextual environment. The balconies have been designed to be an extension of the living spaces so that outdoor living can be maximised."
The apartments start from 60 sqm and range in size to 157 sqm internally. Every apartment has a terrace or balcony, ranging from 13 sqm to 89 sqm. There will be a maximum of four apartments per floor, just two on the top level.
36 resident parking spaces across the three basement levels, two for each apartment, as well as five visitor spaces.
Inca's website suggested the "strategic move underscores Inca Group’s commitment to crafting exceptional homes in prime locations, emphasizing a blend of tranquillity and convenience for discerning residents in the prestigious North Shore area."
They're forecasting a mid-2026 completion.
Inca, founded by Joshua Thompson, have developed across both Sydney and Byron Bay. They created Byron's popular Depot Byron, 26 industrial warehouse spaces on Centennial Circuit near the Stone & Wood Brewery. They've also completed apartment projects in Caringbah and Lane Cove.
Inca is also working on the recently launched Tara on Park in Waitara.
