Urban Property Group unveils ESTE Little Bay apartments
Urban Property Group has officially unveiled its vision for a landmark development in Little Bay.
The vertically integrated developer-builder is set to launch ESTE, a collection of low-rise buildings designed by Hill Thalis Architects, comprising 94 apartments.
Targeted at local downsizers, upgraders, nature lovers, and golf enthusiasts, ESTE offers close proximity to Kamay-Botany Bay National Park, Little Bay Beach, and the renowned St Michael’s Golf Club — widely considered one of New South Wales’ top courses.
Many of the apartments, with interiors by Richard Stanisich, boast uninterrupted ocean views — a rare offering in Sydney.
Residents will enjoy exclusive access to a private rooftop amenity level featuring a heated infinity pool, a fitness centre equipped with the latest TechnoGym technology, and a sauna.
Urban Property Group has taken a careful and considered approach to the design and planning stages, ensuring ESTE delivers an architecturally appropriate and sensitive addition to a suburb that rarely sees new development.
Plans were first submitted to Randwick City Council in late 2022, following concept approval from the NSW Government earlier that year.
Construction commenced in November 2024, with the project expected to top out in Q4 2025 and reach completion in Q3 2026.
Urban was one of the first developers in New South Wales to adopt the sought-after 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy from Resilience Insurance. The policy — that can only be taken out by developers or builders and not by individual apartment buyers — covers any structural or waterproofing defects for a full 10 years post-completion, providing buyers with the most comprehensive protection available when purchasing off the plan.
