Adding to Chatswood’s growing skyline, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-anderson-chatswood-54-56-anderson-street-chatswood-nsw-2067">The Anderson</a> is grounded in a simple principle: apartment living in a major centre does not have to come at the expense of space and outlook.

Set on Anderson Street in the heart of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chatswood-nsw-2067">Chatswood</a>, the new residential tower, a collaboration between developers <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/changfa-group">Changfa Group</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/huirong-group">Huirong Group</a> with architecture and interiors by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ajc-architects">AJC Architects</a>, will introduce 122 apartments that prioritise generous proportions, considered orientation, and a strong connection to the surrounding heritage precinct.

The design originated from a Design Excellence Competition, where AJC proposed a building that combines suburban-style apartment scale with the density expected in a transport-rich centre. The development will include more than 1,800 square metres of retail and commercial space at street level, landscaped communal roof terraces, and a ground-floor pocket park framed by canopy trees. Together these elements aim to create a building that integrates with Chatswood’s evolving streetscape while maintaining a strong residential focus.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151353 project_image_fid=353250]

A key driver behind the architecture was the desire to deliver family-sized apartments rarely seen in the Chatswood market. The Anderson includes a mix of one to four-bedroom apartments, with around 35 per cent of the residences configured as three or four-bedroom homes. At the top of the building, two double-storey penthouses span approximately 200 square metres each, reinforcing the project’s emphasis on scale and long-term liveability for both downsizers and intergenerational households.

Orientation and outlook were central to the planning of the building. The apartments are positioned to maximise views to the north and east across Chatswood’s heritage precinct, with upper levels capturing glimpses of the Pacific Ocean. South-facing apartments gain distant views toward the Sydney CBD and Harbour Bridge, while the building’s configuration intentionally reduces western exposure at lower levels to minimise overlooking toward the nearby railway corridor.

The external design references the character of the surrounding conservation area without replicating it directly. A brick podium anchors the building to the street and introduces a series of architectural portals that draw inspiration from the nearby Chatswood Presbyterian Church. Above this base, the tower shifts to a lighter, more open expression defined by horizontal lines and carefully detailed balconies that balance privacy with outward views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151353 project_image_fid=353254]

Toward the top of the tower, AJC introduces a distinctive lantern-like element formed by sliding screens. These screens provide both solar shading and privacy while also creating a visual marker for the building within the Chatswood skyline. The feature reinforces the architectural intent of the project, a structure that is visually refined while still responding to the practical requirements of apartment living.

Inside the residences, interior architecture by Hayball focuses on clear spatial flow and practical everyday use. Open-plan living areas connect directly to large balconies, extending the internal living spaces outward and allowing natural light to move deeper into the apartments. Kitchens are designed as central working spaces with premium appliances and carefully selected materials, positioned to serve both daily living and entertaining.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151353 project_image_fid=353256]

Bathrooms follow a similarly restrained design language, using refined fixtures and materials to create calm, functional spaces, while wardrobe areas adopt a gallery-style layout with integrated lighting and generous storage. These elements reflect a broader design approach that prioritises clarity, functionality, and durability over decorative gestures.

Positioned just a short walk from Chatswood Interchange, residents will have direct access to rail, metro, retail, and dining. The Metro extension allows travel from Chatswood to Martin Place in approximately 11 minutes, placing the CBD within easy reach for residents while maintaining the convenience of a walkable North Shore neighbourhood.

One-bedroom apartments at The Anderson start from $1,022,000.

How AJC designed The Anderson to bring oversized apartment living to Chatswood

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/bridgewell-development">Bridgewell Capital</a> has lodged plans for a major mixed-use apartment development in the heart of Maroubra, seeking a significant uplift in height and density controls to deliver 120 apartments and a 120-place childcare centre near Maroubra Junction.

The State Significant Development application, filed through the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority pathway, covers a 3,270 sqm amalgamated site at 251-257 Maroubra Road and 133-135 Garden Street. The proposal includes a concurrent rezoning that would increase the maximum building height from 12 metres to 35.6 metres and lift the floor space ratio to 4.02:1.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bka-architecture">BKA Architecture</a>, the project would replace a mechanic’s workshop and several detached homes with a 10-storey residential building above four basement levels.

The scheme comprises 120 apartments, including 27 affordable housing units to be managed by a community housing provider for 15 years, alongside 203 basement car spaces and 92 bicycle spaces. A childcare centre occupying nearly 900 sqm of floor area would sit at ground level and be capable of accommodating 120 children and 22 staff.

<img alt="First look: Bridgewell plots 120 apartments and childcare centre in Maroubra town centre" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="038a0639-f9e4-4303-8fcc-d43e73fa480f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Bridgewell%20pers.png?VersionId=eGBElxmNqJW.YF3JFYgHTnPgAstdyXR3" />

According to the Design Report, the project has been conceived as a “gateway proposal” that responds to Maroubra’s evolving urban character and its proximity to the town centre.

“Designed to complement the character of Maroubra’s town centre, this gateway proposal features a building scale that matches its surroundings,” the report stated.

“It integrates residential units above a ground-level childcare centre, fulfilling the strategic objectives of the Randwick City Council Masterplan.”

The apartment mix is weighted toward larger residences aimed at families and downsizers, reflecting changing demographics in the Randwick LGA and increasing demand for medium-density housing close to transport and amenity.

BKA Architecture said the proposal seeks to reinforce Maroubra Road as a civic spine while improving the pedestrian experience around the site through landscaping and upgraded public interfaces.

“The design capitalises on the following site opportunities: reinforcement of Maroubra Road as a civic spine, enhancement of pedestrian pathways and the public interface via new landscaping, and strong market demand for two and three-bedroom apartments to support families and down-sizers,” the Design Report noted.

<img alt="First look: Bridgewell plots 120 apartments and childcare centre in Maroubra town centre" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ee509779-3c7e-4918-b03d-761c785459d0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Bridgewell%20site.png?VersionId=eZC4Ruyn.C7O.Qwfr1SVeP5.ds1c5.66" />

The building has been designed with setbacks and articulation intended to transition between the commercial intensity of Maroubra Junction and the surrounding lower-scale residential neighbourhoods. Communal open space is proposed on level one, while upper-level apartments would secure views towards Port Botany, Maroubra Beach and Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

The development sits around 200 metres east of the Maroubra Junction intersection of Anzac Parade and Maroubra Road, within one of Randwick’s identified strategic centres. The site is close to Pacific Square Shopping Centre, major bus routes, schools, parks and future cycling infrastructure proposed under the Maroubra Junction Masterplan.

The Maroubra proposal aligns with broader NSW Government initiatives encouraging higher-density housing near established centres and transport corridors, particularly where affordable housing is incorporated.

Bridgewell is also working on a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/goldfields-sets-the-stage-as-quartet-milton-launches">new 55-unit project in Killara</a>.

National diversified developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/goldfields-group">Goldfields</a> has launched its latest Brisbane apartment project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/quartet-milton-33-manning-street-milton-qld-4064">Quartet Milton</a>, marking its entry into the sought-after inner-city suburb just two kilometres from the CBD.

The circa $100 million development will rise 18 storeys and deliver 131 apartments, offering a mix of one, two-, and three-bedroom residences.

Ideally located on Manning Street, Quartet residents will be within 300 metres of Milton Station, 500 metres from the Milton Ferry Wharf, and a short walk to Milton Markets, the iconic Park Road, as well as a range of breweries and cafés.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=367993]

Designed by architecture firm <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> and brought to life by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, the building features a simple, gridded façade paired with generous glazing to enhance views, maximise aspect, and capture both sunrises and sunsets from within the apartments and their generously sized balconies.

Residents will have access to a 1,000 sqm rooftop, curated to balance wellness and entertaining, in response to increasing demand for wellness-focused shared spaces.

"We've approached Quartet Milton as a complete lifestyle offering, not just apartments, but a place where the design, amenities, and location all work together in a meaningful way," says Goldfields Managing Director Lachlan Thompson.

"Buyers are looking for that sense of confidence, knowing the vision has been carefully thought through not just by us as developers, but by all our consultants appointed to bring this together, and that it will be delivered to the standard they expect."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=368000]

Cera Stribley Co-Founder and Managing Principal Domenic Cerantonio said the rooftop is designed to feel like a place "you'd genuinely use every day."

"A 25-metre pool framed by city and mountain views, wellness areas, and private dining spaces for evenings with friends create a setting designed for year-round comfort and effortless Brisbane living."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=367999]

In addition to the 25-metre pool, the rooftop will include a sauna, cold plunge, fully equipped gym, and zen gardens, all complemented by panoramic views of the city and river.

While the building is expected to appeal predominantly to owner-occupiers, Goldfields anticipates interest from investors seeking strong rental returns, driven by the project's design, location, and the city's projected capital growth in the lead-up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=367991]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/milton-qld-4064">Milton</a>, widely regarded as one of Brisbane's most desirable inner-ring suburbs due to its lifestyle offering and proximity to the CBD, has experienced a shortage of new apartment supply in recent years.

Goldfields is already active in the Brisbane residential market through its Ripley Valley masterplanned community, Hayfield. The 109-hectare neighbourhood is already home to more than 300 families and features a large community park.

Plans for the precinct include a 4 km running track, future schools, and retail and commercial amenities, all within a 35-minute drive of the Brisbane CBD.

Goldfields also plans to deliver a new mixed-use tower at 88 Robertson Street in Fortitude Valley, within the James Street precinct. The project will include 16,000 sqm of boutique commercial space, a level of wellness facilities, and a rooftop restaurant and event space, akin to Goldfields House in South Yarra, its flagship mixed-use development on Chapel Street, which is crowned by the Beverly Rooftop bar, one of Melbourne’s best-known venues.

Goldfields sets the stage as Quartet Milton launches

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/stockland">Stockland</a> and Homes NSW have taken the next major step in the transformation of Waterloo Estate, lodging a Concept State Significant Development Application and concurrent rezoning proposal for the renewal of Waterloo South.

The proposal, now on public exhibition, outlines plans for around 3,300 new homes across the 12.3-hectare precinct. A minimum 30 per cent of residential gross floor area will be delivered as social housing, approximately 20 per cent as affordable housing, and a maximum 50 per cent as market housing. The redevelopment would more than quadruple the number of homes currently on the site and more than double the existing supply of social and affordable housing.

The renewal of Waterloo South forms the first stage of the broader Waterloo Estate transformation and is set to unfold over the next 10 to 15 years. The estate currently contains 750 social housing dwellings and 120 private homes.

<img alt="First look: Stockland and Homes NSW unveil plans for 3,300-home Waterloo South renewal" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ba2da34b-171b-4ff1-b0c7-4baf0bce97f2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Waterloo%20public.png?VersionId=S5apPKOqjPHJhk_SzCvdVPxsEBYs300o" />

The proposal, prepared by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a> and Beam Planning, spans 10 street blocks bounded by Cope, Raglan, George, Wellington, Gibson, Kellick, Pitt and McEvoy Streets, directly adjoining the Waterloo Metro Station precinct and within walking distance of Redfern and Green Square stations.

Under the masterplan, building heights would range from two to 33 storeys, delivering approximately 282,485 sqm of residential floor space alongside at least 10,000 sqm of non-residential uses and a minimum 5,000 sqm of community space. The planning framework has been specifically structured to support the mixed-tenure outcome, with the residential gross floor area capped at a maximum 50 per cent market housing allocation.&nbsp;

The Urban Design Report describes the vision as creating “a unique and vibrant mixed-tenure housing precinct that supports the needs of the community and delivers much needed housing in response to National and State Government priorities.”&nbsp;

<img alt="First look: Stockland and Homes NSW unveil plans for 3,300-home Waterloo South renewal" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6e1a6d8b-0626-4fa7-94fc-aa91c0af86dc" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/waterloo%20per.png?VersionId=duyiJTFOeezTNdM22leI3SoHuqnW6ZaY" />

A major focus of the revised proposal has been increasing the social and affordable housing component. The Minns Government increased the affordable and public housing allocation from 35 per cent to 50 per cent after coming to office in 2023.

Minister for Housing and Homelessness Rose Jackson said the changes were critical to maintaining Waterloo’s social diversity.

“When we came to government, we immediately reviewed the plans for the Waterloo renewal and boosted the number of public and affordable homes from 35 to 50 per cent,” Jackson said.

“This was a crucial step to ensure Waterloo remains a welcoming place for people from all walks of life to call home now and into the future.”&nbsp;

Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully said the project would reshape the precinct for generations.

“This concept DA brings thousands of new public, affordable and market homes on the doorstep of the Waterloo Metro station another step closer to reality,” Scully said.

“Importantly, alongside the new homes the plan also proposes new open space where residents and the broader community can gather, relax and play.”&nbsp;

Stockland Managing Director and CEO Tarun Gupta said the project had been shaped around long-term liveability and community infrastructure.

“As delivery partner, Stockland is proud to be working with the NSW Government on the renewal of Waterloo South – a significant project with community at its heart,” Gupta said.&nbsp;

The planning documents place strong emphasis on “Designing with Country,” recognising the site’s location on Gadigal land. The masterplan incorporates new east-west pedestrian links, activated streetscapes, rooftop communal spaces, retail frontages, and landscaped public areas intended to improve permeability and community connection throughout the estate.&nbsp;

The proposal also seeks to establish a more flexible planning framework for future detailed SSDAs, including updated provisions for educational uses, creative industries, rooftop communal areas, and active frontages. A minimum seven per cent of residential floor space will be delivered as affordable housing managed in perpetuity by community housing provider City West Housing.&nbsp;

The Social Impact Assessment prepared by Urbis describes the renewal as one of Australia’s most significant public housing transformations, identifying substantial long-term positive impacts associated with housing supply, accessibility, public domain improvements, and community infrastructure.&nbsp;

Stockland and Homes NSW have already commenced the first stage of resident relocations, with some tenants moved into newly completed homes at Waterloo Metro Quarter and the Boronia development nearby.

Sydney’s property market is known for high prices, competitive bidding, and mounting pressure on first home buyers. But change is on the horizon.

From late 2025, eligible first home buyers in New South Wales will have access to a new federal government initiative aimed at addressing affordability: the Help to Buy Scheme.&nbsp;

<h2>What is the Help to Buy Scheme?</h2>

The program introduces a shared equity model intended to reduce the upfront cost of entering the property market, particularly in high-demand urban areas such as Sydney.

The scheme operates under a shared ownership structure in which the federal government takes an equity stake of up to 40 per cent for new homes, or 30 per cent for existing dwellings. This arrangement allows eligible buyers to significantly reduce their loan size and avoid the added cost of Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).

Under this model, purchasers can enter the property market with as little as a two per cent deposit, well below the traditional 10 to 20 per cent usually required. The government’s contribution is not a loan but a co-ownership stake in the property. As such, there is no interest or rent charged on its portion.

Because the government’s equity combined with the buyer’s deposit typically meets or exceeds the 20 per cent threshold, LMI does not apply. The remaining balance, generally between 60 and 70 per cent of the property’s value, is financed through a standard home loan with a participating lender.

The government's equity in the property remains in place until the buyer chooses to repay it voluntarily or until the property is sold. Buyers can buy back the government’s share over time, in increments of at least five per cent, depending on their financial situation.

There is no fixed repayment timeline, but the amount to be repaid will be based on the property's market value at the time of repayment, not the original purchase price.

<h2>How do you qualify for the&nbsp;Help to Buy Scheme?</h2>

To qualify for the Help to Buy Scheme, applicants must meet the following conditions:

<ul>
	<li>Be an Australian citizen at least 18 years of age.</li>
	<li>Be a first-home buyer who does not currently own property.</li>
	<li>Intend to live in the property as their primary residence.</li>
	<li>Earn less than $100,000 per year for individuals, or $160,000 for couples.</li>
	<li>Purchase a property within the regional price caps, currently $950,000 in Sydney, though this is expected to rise to approximately $1.3 million ahead of the program’s launch.</li>
</ul>

While the Help to Buy Scheme does not solve affordability challenges across the board, it does offer a more accessible pathway for a defined segment of the market, particularly younger buyers with moderate incomes who have been priced out of traditional lending routes.

The scheme is expected to commence in NSW in late 2025, as part of a national rollout.

Under the new model, purchasers can enter the property market with as little as a two per cent deposit, well below the traditional 10 to 20 per cent usually required

Help to Buy Scheme: What first home buyers in NSW need to know

The First Home Owners Grant (FHOG) is a government initiative designed to help eligible first-time home buyers by offering financial assistance towards the purchase or construction of a new home.

While the FHOG is a nationwide program, it is administered separately by each state and territory, meaning the eligibility criteria, grant amounts, and property requirements can vary depending on your location. This means that the amount available and the conditions attached to the grant will differ, so it is important to check the specific guidelines for your state or territory.

It’s important to note that the FHOG is just one of several incentives available to first home buyers. In most states and territories, the grant is not linked to stamp duty exemptions or concessions, with the exception of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The FHOG is typically a one-off payment, reducing the overall cost of purchasing or building a new home before any stamp duty concessions are applied.

Below, we provide a breakdown of the First Home Owner Grants available across Australia, outlining the specific details for each state and territory.

<h2>New South Wales First Home Owner Grant</h2>

Every First Home Owner Grant for new property by state

In the ever-evolving landscape of sustainable architecture and environmentally conscious design, systems and ratings in place can help determine the energy efficiency of residential buildings in Australia.

Australia has multiple building rating systems that evaluate energy efficiency and sustainability in existing and new building designs.

Some systems assess individual building components, while others provide an overall rating for the entire structure.

A rating system ensures that homes are comfortable and energy-efficient, whether you are buying, renovating, or building.

NatHERS (Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme) is a common way for new homes to meet energy efficiency requirements.

As new developments continue to shape the urban environment, understanding NatHERS ratings becomes essential for developers and homeowners. This article delves into the concept of NatHERS ratings, their significance, and how they contribute to creating energy-efficient homes.

<h2>What is NatHERS?</h2>

NatHERS is a national initiative implemented by the Australian government to promote energy efficiency in residential buildings. The scheme aims to provide a standardised method for assessing the thermal performance of homes, considering factors such as insulation, orientation, ventilation, and building materials.&nbsp;

NatHERS ratings are the most common way new homes meet the National Construction Code's (NCC's) minimum energy efficiency requirements.&nbsp;

NatHERS assessments provide thermal and whole-home ratings for new homes, townhouses, and apartments.

The rating helps evaluate the energy performance of buildings, guides homeowners and developers to make informed decisions about the energy efficiency of their properties, and encourages the construction of more sustainable, comfortable, and cost-effective homes.

<h2>How NatHERS Ratings Work</h2>

NatHERS ratings are determined through four accredited software tools (AccuRate, BERS Pro, FirstRate5, HERO) using a calculation engine CSIRO developed to predict building temperature based on various factors.

The tools can model complex effects of building mass, insulation, window size, and other elements.

The outcome is a star rating that reflects the building's overall thermal efficiency, indicating how well it can maintain a comfortable indoor temperature without excessive reliance on heating or cooling systems.

The star rating scale ranges from 0 to 10, with a 6-star rating being the minimum requirement for compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC).&nbsp;

Achieving a higher star rating demonstrates a commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability, as the building is better equipped to minimise its environmental impact and reduce long-term energy costs.

Anyone can use NatHERS tools, but accredited assessors can provide certified ratings and professional advice.

<h2>Benefits of Higher NatHERS Ratings</h2>

Energy Efficiency: Buildings with higher NatHERS ratings are more energy-efficient, requiring less heating and cooling energy. This reduces the structure's carbon footprint and lowers occupants' energy bills.

Cost Savings: Homes with higher NatHERS ratings are generally more energy-efficient, resulting in reduced energy consumption for heating and cooling. This translates to lower energy bills for homeowners, making sustainable living environmentally friendly and economically viable in the long run.

Environmental Impact: Lower energy consumption directly translates to a reduced environmental impact. Buildings with higher NatHERS ratings contribute to the overall goal of mitigating climate change by lowering greenhouse gas emissions associated with heating and cooling systems.

Improved Comfort: Buildings with high NatHERS ratings offer better thermal comfort to occupants. Proper insulation, well-designed ventilation, and optimal orientation maintain a consistent and comfortable indoor temperature, providing occupants with a more enjoyable and healthier space.

Market Value and Desirability: Higher NatHERS ratings can enhance the market value of a property. As energy efficiency becomes a more significant consideration for homebuyers, a well-rated building may attract a premium price and stand out in the real estate market.

Compliance with Building Codes: NatHERS ratings are a vital component of the National Construction Code (NCC), and compliance with these ratings is often a mandatory requirement for new developments. Local councils and planning authorities may set minimum energy efficiency standards that must be met to obtain development approval.

The Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) is a crucial initiative shaping the future of energy-efficient, resilient, and cost-effective homes.

What is a NatHERS rating in new off the plan apartment developments?

Mixed-use developments have gained significant popularity across Australia in recent years due to their unique blend of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces.

Unlike traditional single-purpose developments, mixed-use projects offer a harmonious integration of various functions within a single locale.

Residential units seamlessly coexist with commercial establishments, retail outlets, dining venues, entertainment hubs, and recreational facilities, with the combination not only enhances convenience but also fosters a vibrant lifestyle and a sense of community.

<h3>Convenience and accessibility</h3>

Mixed-use developments are designed with convenience in mind. They often integrate residential units with commercial spaces, retail outlets, restaurants, and recreational facilities, creating a self-contained community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204874]

The proximity allows residents to enjoy the convenience of having essential amenities and services within walking distance. Whether it's grabbing a cup of coffee, going grocery shopping, or accessing healthcare services, everything is conveniently located, saving residents time and effort.

<h3>Vibrant lifestyle and community</h3>

One of the major advantages of mixed-use developments is the vibrant lifestyle they offer. With a diverse range of amenities and communal spaces, residents have ample opportunities to interact, socialise, and build a sense of community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=214122]

The presence of parks, community centres, and shared spaces fosters a lively atmosphere, encouraging residents to engage in various activities and events. The vibrant lifestyle within these developments creates a unique sense of belonging and camaraderie among the residents.

<h3>Potential for higher rental yields and property value appreciation</h3>

Mixed-use developments tend to attract a broad range of tenants and buyers due to their versatile nature. This high demand can result in higher rental yields for investors and potentially lead to property value appreciation over time.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=212887]

The integration of commercial and retail spaces attracts businesses, which can provide a stable rental income stream. Additionally, the popularity of mixed-use developments often drives up property values, making them a potentially lucrative investment in the long term.

<h3>Enhanced security and maintenance</h3>

Mixed-use developments typically have comprehensive security measures in place. With controlled access points, CCTV surveillance, and professional security staff, residents can enjoy enhanced safety and peace of mind.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=212658]

Additionally, these developments often have dedicated maintenance teams responsible for the upkeep of common areas, landscaping, and infrastructure. This ensures that the overall appearance and functionality of the development are well-maintained, creating a pleasant living environment for residents.

<h3>Live-work-play balance</h3>

One of the key attractions of mixed-use developments is the ability to achieve a desirable live-work-play balance. The integration of residential and commercial spaces allows residents to live closer to their workplaces, reducing commuting time and improving work-life balance.

The proximity to various amenities and recreational facilities encourages an active and healthy lifestyle. Residents can easily access fitness centres, parks, restaurants, and entertainment options, all within the same development, leading to a more fulfilling and convenient way of life.

The top five reasons to buy in a mixed-use development

When buying a property, everyone needs to be aware of the additional costs that come as part of the buying process.

Often the largest outlay, after the deposit which goes to the bank, is stamp duty.

<h2 style="line-height: 1.38;">What is Stamp Duty?</h2>

Stamp duty is an extra tax to pay the government when you buy land, a property, and other certain assets.

It happens when the legal ownership is transferred. It can also be known as property transfer duty or transfer duty.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="415" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C32BWkB5--c" title="YouTube video player" width="660"></iframe>

<h2>Who pays Stamp Duty?</h2>

In some circumstances, you may get an exemption. For some states, you won’t have to pay for stamp duty if you are a first home buyer or a pensioner for houses under a particular price. There are also stamp duty concessions, where you may be entitled to a discount.

<h2>How much does Stamp Duty cost?</h2>

Each state has different rules which affect how much you need to pay. These rules can affect the rate you pay, and the timeframe you will need to pay in. Before you buy land or a property, make sure you check the up-to-date information for your state’s stamp duty.

You can use a free stamp duty calculator online to see approximately how much you’ll need to pay. Find out if you’re eligible for an exemption by enquiring on a project via Urban!

Overall, the stamp duty you need to pay will depend on:

<ul>
	<li aria-level="1">How much your land/property is worth</li>
	<li aria-level="1">Where your land/property is located</li>
	<li aria-level="1">What type of land/property it is</li>
</ul>

Leading Sydney construction and development company <a href="/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a>&nbsp;has spent the last six weeks filing development applications across Sydney, totalling well over 1,500 apartments.

In July they submitted plans in Zetland and Five Dock for two precinct-style developments. Their latest proposal is in&nbsp;<a href="/developments/macquarie-park-nsw-2113">Macquarie Park</a>&nbsp;where they're planning a 17-level tower which will support&nbsp;the NSW Government’s vision to deliver more housing close to the Northwest Metro line. &nbsp;

Designed by the award-winning architectural practice <a href="/architects/dko-architecture">DKO</a>, the 180-apartment tower will include affordable housing and be located 300 metres from the Macquarie Park Metro rail station and Macquarie Park Shopping Centre. &nbsp;

Deicorp’s Chairman Fouad Deiri said delivering homes connected to key transport infrastructure like the Northwest Metro ensures convenience and value for our purchasers. &nbsp;

“Being able to provide housing that is affordable for essential workers in such a great location makes this project even more important.&nbsp;

“Building beautifully designed new apartments convenient to great amenities is how we are &nbsp;helping to respond to the urgent need for new homes.”&nbsp;

The application for the proposed redevelopment of 161 Herring Road and 13-15 Lachlan Avenue Macquarie Park, which will include a mix of one, two and three-bedroom units, has been lodged with the NSW Department of Planning as a State Significant Development. &nbsp;

The proposed development will include 27 affordable housing units that will be managed by a registered community housing provider. &nbsp;

The proposed building will include a rooftop garden and lookout space, upgrades to the surrounding streetscape and outdoor communal spaces. In addition to environmentally significant trees being retained on the site as part of the proposed development, a further 58 trees were planted on the site to provide more tree canopy coverage. &nbsp;

The planned development, which will include recycled water, onsite solar energy generation and energy efficient design, will aim for an industry-leading 7-star average rating under the &nbsp;Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS).&nbsp;

Deicorp submitted plans for two mixed-use precincts in July. The first application was in Zetland where they're proposing a nine-building precinct on a&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/130-joynton-avenue-zetland">2.86-hectare Joynton Avenue site</a>, the former AusGrid facility they secured two years ago.

There will be a total of 574 apartments at a cost of just over $300 million.

Akin to its other&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/zetland-nsw-2017">Zetland apartment</a>&nbsp;development Downtown, the new development, dubbed Joynton Square in the planning documents, will have extensive retail at street level.

The Castle Hill off the plan apartment market has been running hot for several years, since the announcement of the Sydney Metro expansion and the $3 billion redevelopment of the Hills Showground Station Precinct.

However new apartment opportunities in the colloquial centre of the Hills District have been few and far between in the last 12 to 18 months.

Developer <a href="/developers/cpdm">CPDM</a>&nbsp;is the newest entrant into the Castle Hill market, revealing its newest development, Larool Crescent.

Marketed by Boston Buckler, <a href="/new-townhouses/larool-crescent-castle-hill-2-22-larool-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Larool Crescent</a>, named after its location near the rejuvenated Castle Towers shopping centre, presents a more boutique option for apartment seekers. There are 110 apartments and townhouses spread across four five-level buildings on its srpawling 8,000 sqm block.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135330 project_image_fid=289164]

The buildings have been designed by PTW to wrap around a central courtyard with extensive landscaping.

There will be one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments on offer, as well as a handful of large townhouses, a rarity in new developments in the area.

Boston Buckler Principal, Alex Walker, said the residences are&nbsp;"tailor-made for owner-occupiers," with designs catering to first home buyers, downsizers, and young families.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135330 project_image_fid=289121]

The interiors of Larool Crescent have been crafted by&nbsp;<a href="/interior-designers/coco-republic-interior-design">Coco Republic</a>, who have focused on combining form with function.&nbsp;

"There were certain elements that we put together to achieve warm and clean interiors for this project," Coco Rebuplic's Head of Interior Design, Diana Ribarevksi said.

"Things like the black accents, natural stone in the kitchen, beautiful tactile tiles throughout. All these elements add interest, but also a perfect base for people to bring their own style into the interiors."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135330 project_image_fid=289120]

CPDM Managing Director,&nbsp;Aarong Liu, said the goal is to create spacious living spaces that support and encourage the lifestyle of the Hills, while CPDM Senior Development and Project Manager, Ross Norton, said that the unique nature of the Castle Hill site required a distinctive architectural approach.&nbsp;

PTW Asia-Pacific was enlisted to handle the designs of Larool Crescent, which has been a decade in planning.

"The vibrant town centre, access to the new metro line, excellent retail environment, and abundant parks have all influenced the design of these new homes," PTW Asia Pacific Managing Director Simon Parsons said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135330 project_image_fid=289167]

Larool Crescent is strategically situated near Castle Hill's key amenities and attractions, offering residents convenient access to popular shopping destinations like Parklea Markets and Castle Towers, as well as a variety of acclaimed local restaurants.

CPDM has already appointed a builder ahead of construction, and the project includes Resilience Insurance's in demand Latent Defects Insurance which covers buyers in the event of any structural defects in the building for the first 10 years post-completion.

Eddy Haddad's&nbsp;<a href="/developers/level-33">Level 33</a>, arguably one of the biggest developers in Wollongong, is joining forces with the community affordable housing City West Housing to bring a much-needed influx of apartments to the growing coastal city.

The joint venture means there will be an affordable housing component that will be managed by&nbsp;City West Housing, a registered Community Housing Provider. Of the 906 apartments that have been proposed in the State Significant development application, around 220 will be affordable.

The leaves nearly 700 apartments that will hit the traditional off the plan apartment market in the coming years, pending NSW Government approval.

The 30,130 sqm site&nbsp;at the <a href="/new-apartments/60-74-flinders-street-wollongong">intersection of Gipps and Flinders Streets</a>&nbsp;is currently occupied by an old Bunnings Warehouse which ceased trading at the start of 2023, as well as extensive car parking space and a small brick building.

The apartments, will be spread across five mixed-use buildings, ranging in height from seven to 13 levels.

The ground floor of the buildings will be&nbsp;dedicated to business and retail spaces, takeaway food premises, specialised retail, and a gallery. The proposal also includes two levels of basement parking, with vehicle access from Throsby Drive and Gipps Street.

The project will be constructed in stages, beginning with Buildings 4 and 5, the latter of which will house the affordable apartments.&nbsp;

The unit market in Sydney, both established and new, is ramping up.

CoreLogic's Monthly Hedonic Index shows another 0.4 per cent gain in the value of units across July, compared to 0.2 per cent in the house market. It's the fourth consecutive month units have outperformed houses according to CoreLogic's Index.

While only modest growth compared to the likes of Brisbane (+1.9 per cent) and Perth (+2.1 per cent), Sydney's unit market continues to show resilience despite being the most expensive capital city in an environment of heightened interest rates.

The Sydney unit median is now $852,000, more than $200,000 more than the next capital (Brisbane, $638,000).

City Beat August 2024: Sydney's new apartment market secures record sales and city-shaping development plans

Rhodes has become a popular spot for some of Sydney's biggest developers.

The likes of Billbergia and Deicorp have taken to the peninsula suburb to develop some of its most architecturally striking skyscrapers.

However the latest plans, filed by a company linked to Joseph and Pierre Jacobs of Prolet Construction, are for something more boutique.

They're seeking to develop an eight-level building on a&nbsp;1854 sqm triangular site at 2-4 Denham St. It will have 34 apartments above three basement levels of parking for 34 cars and 68 bicycles.

There will be six one-bedroom apartments on offer, 18 two-beds, and 10 three-bed apartments.

Designed by <a href="/architects/pbd-architects">PBD Architects</a>, the Denham St development will incorporate a podium form to create a balanced, human-scale streetscape that aligns with the existing lower-scale development and the desired future character of the area.

<img alt="2-4 Denham St Rhodes apartment development" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="390e9770-9753-4404-8da6-156251650e46" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/2-4%20Denham%20St%20Rhodes.png?VersionId=bkOjwx_MaDyueVq3e8wT6xX6CoNMnIHo" />

The building's massing and façade details are designed to harmonise with the local character while responding to the sun, views, setbacks, and the site's context.&nbsp;

The design is characterised by using differently pigmented precast concrete and a curtain wall system, which are durable and hard-wearing materials to ensure the development's longevity and enhance its integration into the neighbourhood.

The apartments are designed to maximise the north-facing aspect, ensuring adequate daylight access during winter, with private open space balconies or terraces to further maximise cross-flow ventilation.

<img alt="2-4 Denham St" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3d1b9a15-960c-4452-bf38-58f956659b96" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/2-4%20Denham%20St%20Rhodes%20site.png?VersionId=1kUPX39iUzOURy3DX4Qe4vNjz4Is4eU_" /> 
The developer has also collaborated with landscape architect <a href="/landscape-architect/site-image">SITE IMAGE</a> to integrate the building design with its natural surroundings, using a predominantly native planting palette to soften the building footprint and connect it with the existing local environment.

Strategically located, Denham St is conveniently within 210 metres from a proposed primary school site, 450 metres from a proposed ferry wharf, and 750 metres from the Rhodes train station.

Since its completion two years ago, The Grand Residences in Eastlakes still stands as the newest apartment development in the gateway suburb to Sydney's East.

With the final apartments recently being released to the market, we went down to <a href="/buildings/the-grand-residences-eastlakes-16-evans-avenue-eastlakes">The Grand Residences</a> to talk to its residents and find out what it's like to live in the development.

Inside ONE Apartments, Newcastle's newest apartment development: Urban's display suit tour

The Grand Residences in Eastlakes in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, is the very last development by Crown Group.

The developer’s track record for delivering quality, the Eastern Suburbs gateway location of the project, and the price vs return proposition, are drawing the eye of investors, who have largely been out of the market in the last few years across the country.&nbsp;

It takes a product and an offering like <a href="/buildings/the-grand-residences-eastlakes-16-evans-avenue-eastlakes">The Grand Residences</a> to bring an investor into the market in this interest rate environment.&nbsp;

Selling agents McGrath Projects and CPA have been fielding interest from both savvy property investors and mum and dad investors since releasing the final apartments in the building – apartments that were held back from sale when the trio of buildings above The Grand Shopping Centre were launched to market in 2018.

We’ve crunched the numbers to see how The Grand Residences stacks up for investors.

<h2>Rental Return*</h2>

The Grand Residences is already home to a diverse mix of owner-occupiers and investors, the latter of whom have been afforded a rare opportunity to secure yields not often seen in the apartment market in Sydney, whether they bought off-the-plan in 2018, or are buying now.

Investors eyeing a one-bed apartment should see a tenant pay between $650 to $700 per week, which, on a purchase price of between $735,000 and $790,000, would bring a minimum gross yield of 4.6 per cent for an investor.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7652 project_image_fid=262584]

A recent sale within the building – a two-bed, 1.5 bath apartment with a single carspace for $865,000 – was subsequently placed onto the rental market to take advantage of the current rental demand. Within 14 days a tenant was secured at $950 per week, representing a 5.7 per cent gross yield based on the sale price.

This is just one example of the great opportunities available to investors at The Grand Residences.

*The rental return is an estimate based on market research and weekly rents already achieved in the building.

<h2>Depreciation Estimates*</h2>

On top of the strong rental returns, low vacancy rates across Sydney and the anticipated price growth based on the historic performance of Eastern Suburbs property, there are significant depreciation benefits for investors.

Indicative One Bed + Study Tax Depreciation Claimable*

BMT Tax Depreciation reports show the minimum tax depreciation could be around $378,000, an estimate which typically spans for an ownership period of 40 years. The first depreciation estimate is around $16,500 in the first year of ownership, and steadily declines year on year to be around $9,000 by year 10. The maximum depreciation for a one-bed plus study over the same period could be $462,000, with depreciation of the asset starting at over $20,000 in the first year.&nbsp;

Indicative Two Bed Tax Depreciation Claimable*

Depreciation for two-bedroom apartments could be $476,000 over 40 years of ownership, the first year of ownership being a $19,000 deduction at a minimum. The maximum could be $582,000, a first year depreciation of $23,000.

* Please obtain independent advice from a qualified tax accountant based on your personal circumstances

<h2>How does depreciation work?&nbsp;</h2>

Depreciation of an investment apartment refers to the decrease in value of the property over time due to wear and tear and aging of the asset. This concept is important in accounting and taxation because it allows property owners to account for the gradual deterioration of their asset and claim tax deductions as a result.

In practical terms, depreciation recognises that buildings and structures used for income-producing purposes, such as rental apartments, lose value as they age and are used. The depreciation process allows owners to recover the cost of the property over its useful life through annual deductions on their tax returns. This deduction is typically calculated based on the initial purchase price of the property, excluding the cost of land, and spread out over a predetermined period.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7652 project_image_fid=262581]

From a financial standpoint, depreciation provides a way to offset taxable income generated by the rental property, thereby reducing the owner's overall tax liability. It's a non-cash expense, meaning the property owner doesn't actually spend money annually but rather reduces their taxable income by a calculated amount based on the property's depreciation schedule.

This accounting practice helps investors maintain cash flow while accounting for the long-term decline in the property's value.

<h2>Why The Grand Residences Eastlakes</h2>

The biggest two factors when property investors assess the viability of a new asset are yield and depreciation. The third factor is potential price growth, which is more difficult to forecast. That’s more often done on past performance, and based on both potential development uplift in the area, and a scarcity of stock. 
Eastlakes is a hidden gem that has preserved its charm over the past decade, with limited redevelopment. The Grand Residences Eastlakes stands out as a notable addition to the area, being one of the few new apartment buildings recently completed. The suburb offers a unique opportunity for future growth with ample potential for new developments.

There is also further redevelopment expected next door which will likely see the southern section of the old <a href="/developments/eastlakes-nsw-2018">Eastlakes</a> Shopping Centre transformed into a new mixed-use precinct. If that vision materialises, that will lift the value of The Grand Residences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7652 project_image_fid=262598]

With the significant increase in construction costs since COVID-19, driven by material and labour costs, as well as the cost of land, the new apartments will have to be priced significantly higher than what The Grand Residences is currently being offered for.

The Grand Residences was completed in 2022 and won the prestigious Urban Taskforce Australia Development Excellence Award.&nbsp;

McGrath Projects Director, Adam Sparkes, says the building offers incredible value for every cohort of buyers looking at the Eastern Suburbs.

“The building is achieving strong rental yields for the area, and since completion two years ago, properties have been tightly held. The opportunity to buy at this price point and in this location isn’t likely to come around again.”

How The Grand Residences, Eastlakes apartments, stack up for investors

Deicorp has launched its first apartment project in Rhodes, as the prominent developer continues to expand its footprint Sydney-wide.

The new development, <a href="/new-apartments/marquet-mary-rhodes-1-9-marquet-street-rhodes-nsw-2138">Marquet &amp; Mary</a>, will bring 212 apartments to the heart of <a href="/developments/rhodes-nsw-2138">Rhodes</a>, directly connected to Rhodes Central shopping centre and within walking distance of Rhodes Train Station.

Named after its positioning on the corner of Marquet and Mary streets, the 32-level tower has been designed by&nbsp;<a href="/architects/fk-australia">Fender Katsalidis</a>&nbsp;following a design excellence competition.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141515 project_image_fid=287869]

There are one, two and three-bedroom apartments on offer, each with views of either east back to the Sydney skyline, or west to the Blue Mountains.

True to Deicorp's vision of not only creating a tower but instead creating a community, the apartments will sit above a four-level podium that will include commercial and retail space. Residents will also have access to a rooftop terrace and garden, as well as another courtyard garden.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141515 project_image_fid=287859]

Deicorp’s Chairman, Fouad Deiri OAM, said the landmark building will bring much-needed new homes to the heart of Rhodes.

“Designed by one of Australia’s leading design practices, FK, Marquet &amp; Mary delivers on Deicorp’s business values of strong design and high-quality amenity,” Deiri said.

FK Partner Craig Baudin said Canada Bay City Council's swift approval of the development application underscores the recognition that this project goes beyond simply providing much-needed housing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141515 project_image_fid=287867]

The design by Fender Katsalidis was selected by the City of Canada Bay Council Design Jury for its elegant internal apartment planning, tripartite vertical rhythm of the facade, and human-scaled design of the podium.

The central courtyard will provide light and natural ventilation, while a new public plaza at the southern entrance and a landscaped laneway with active retail use on the ground level aim to connect the greater Rhodes area.
