Apartment buyers in New South Wales are set to gain a decade of insurance-backed protection against major building defects, after the NSW Parliament passed the Fair Trading and Building Legislation Amendment Bill 2026.&nbsp;

The Bill establishes decennial defect insurance, known in the market as Latent Defects Insurance (LDI), as an alternative to the existing two-year strata building bond. It cleared the Legislative Council with amendments on Tuesday evening (August 4, 2026), with the Legislative Assembly agreeing to those amendments shortly after.

Under the reform, eligible developers can satisfy their statutory bond obligation by taking out an approved decennial-style policy that gives owners 10 years of cover for major structural defects from completion, claimable directly, without first having to pursue developers or builders through costly legal action.&nbsp;

The change forms the final tranche of amendments arising from the 2021 statutory review of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 and related legislation.

Resilience Insurance, which originated the cover in Australia and has delivered it in NSW since 2022, welcomed the passage and credited the NSW Government for delivering it.

“This is protection apartment buyers have needed for a long time, and the credit for delivering it belongs to the NSW Government,”&nbsp;said Corey Nugent, CEO of Resilience Insurance.

“Minister Chanthivong and his team have shown real leadership in replacing an outdated two-year bond with cover that matches the lifespan of the buildings people are buying into. Reform like this is what good, evidence-based regulation looks like.”

Resilience has delivered LDI in NSW since 2022, protecting thousands of apartments, giving the State, and now the country, real-world evidence of how decade-long, no-fault protection works in practice.

The reform also places NSW within a wider national shift.

NSW is the third jurisdiction to put decennial cover into law. The ACT legislated for it in 2024, with the scheme taking effect in late 2025, and Victoria passed its own framework on 17 June. Between them, the three cover the majority of Australia's apartment market.

The reform commences once the legislation is proclaimed, which is expected in the coming weeks. From that point, developers of Class 2 residential apartment buildings can meet their statutory obligation with an approved decennial policy in place of the bond.

Buyers who purchased into projects that took out the cover early are among the first in the country to take keys to apartments carrying decade-long structural protection.

“With the legislation passed, the focus now turns to making it work for buyers,”&nbsp;Nugent said.

“There are already thousands of apartments in NSW covered by this insurance, bought by developers who moved early. The question every buyer should be asking in a display suite is a simple one: does this building come with 10-year defect cover, and who stands behind it?&nbsp;

“We look forward to working with the Government and the Building Commission in coming weeks as the framework moves to implementation, and to sharing what we have learned over the past four years so the protection reaches owners as smoothly and quickly as possible.”

Other states are working through their own reform programs. Western Australia has indicated that decennial cover is within consideration a later stage of its reform sequence, and Queensland has been examining the settings as it looks at the development pipeline ahead of the 2032 Olympics.

Resilience Insurance acknowledges the NSW Government’s continued focus on strengthening consumer protection while supporting housing delivery across the State.

NSW parliament passes 10-year defect insurance laws for new apartment buyers

Builder-developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mcnab-developments">McNab</a> has wasted little time reshaping one of South Brisbane's most significant undeveloped apartment sites after acquiring the property earlier this year.&nbsp;

McNab has lodged plans to scrap an existing approval for two 30-storey towers and instead deliver a single 28-storey residential building, preserving part of the site for a future development opportunity.

The proposal, lodged over <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/64-peel-street-south-brisbane-qld-4101">64 Peel Street and 9 Cordelia Street</a>, is for a residential-led mixed-use development comprising 124 apartments above a landscaped podium, alongside a boundary realignment that preserves part of the land for a future residential project.

<img alt="First look: McNab resets decade-old South Brisbane approval with 124-apartment tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="743bf564-3f8f-45fc-b8d3-bbf18f5b628f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/mcnab%20Peel%20st%20podium.png?VersionId=EhCxGrVn_VFH3qTbKnI4WppGwaMnOn0t" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/hayball">Hayball</a>, the development will deliver 119 two-bedroom and five three-bedroom apartments across 23 residential levels. A five-level podium will accommodate 135 car spaces, while the ground floor will include a 66 sqm commercial tenancy, an activated residential lobby with work-from-home spaces, and a publicly accessible landscaped plaza linking Cordelia and Peel streets.&nbsp;

Communal amenities will span Level 6 and the rooftop, including indoor and outdoor recreation spaces, a swimming pool, barbecue facilities, kitchen and dining areas, lawn space, sauna, steam room and yoga facilities.

The application also proposes a boundary realignment to create a standalone 1,290 sqm development lot while retaining an adjacent parcel for future redevelopment, allowing the balance of the site to contribute additional housing over time.

Hayball said the architecture has been shaped by the site's elevated corner position at the intersection of Peel and Cordelia streets and Brisbane's subtropical climate.

The design incorporates generous landscaped setbacks, a masonry podium wrapped with planting, large north-facing balconies, and a slender tower profile intended to maximise natural light, cross ventilation and long-range views. The rooftop has been conceived as a wellness-focused retreat overlooking Brisbane, with amenities positioned to capture views towards Mount Coot-tha and the CBD.

<img alt="First look: McNab resets decade-old South Brisbane approval with 124-apartment tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c5f99e84-6ad8-4a87-82d1-869685b754d2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/mcnab%20tower%20perspective.png?VersionId=Gw0IuJaSAlk.tvGBxInhZOcQAdIB..2b" />

The planning submission positions the proposal as a response to both changing market conditions and Brisbane's Kurilpa Sustainable Growth Precinct planning reforms.

McNab acquired the site after the previous approval was granted, with the existing scheme no longer reflecting current residential market demands, economic conditions, construction challenges, construction efficiencies or the quality of development outcome now being pursued, the planning report noted.

McNab continues to expand its residential development pipeline across Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The developer recently launched The Tannery in West End, securing more than 60 per cent of apartments before the project's public release. It is also delivering Elements Budds Beach in Surfers Paradise and Lucia Highgate Hill, an eight-apartment boutique development overlooking the Brisbane River.

A steeply sloping Bellevue Hill site is set to accommodate a new mid-rise apartment development, with plans lodged for 20 homes that respond to the site's dramatic topography.

The proposal for the consolidated land at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/138a-140-bellevue-road-bellevue-hill-nsw-2023">138A-140 Bellevue Road</a> has been designed by Sydney architecture practice Common Office, which has used the site’s substantial fall to distribute the building’s scale and unlock 20 apartments without presenting the full height to the street.&nbsp;

“The unique design strategy leverages the site’s substantial topographical fall to facilitate increased density, presenting a seven-storey profile to Bellevue Road while rising to 10 storeys at the rear,” Common Office said in its architectural design report.

The apartment mix spans one, two, three- and four-bedroom residences. Four two-bedroom apartments are designated as affordable housing, while the plans also include two adaptable dwellings. The mix is majority three-beds, with the typical three-bed apartment offering around 144 sqm internally, with balconies of around 15 sqm.

The affordable housing component represents 15 per cent of the residential floor area and allows the project to access additional height and floor space under the NSW Government’s in-fill affordable housing provisions. The site also falls within the inner area of the Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy because it is within 400 metres walking distance of Double Bay Town Centre.

<img alt="First Look: Plans lodged for topography-led affordable housing project in Bellevue Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b1230d0f-3bfa-4a11-abaf-0928c66ef345" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Bellevue%20da.png?VersionId=dZeMK3P.OutGjN8ycjsxm8uNsj_QFWQv" />

Common Office has arranged the building around a masonry podium and a lighter upper volume, drawing on two recurring elements of Bellevue Hill’s established architecture: sandstone bases and the vertical proportions of local Inter-war Art Deco apartment buildings.

“The proposal is governed by a holistic design language that reconciles the solid horizontal masonry of the neighbourhood’s podiums with the elegant verticality of its Art Deco heritage,” the architect said.

“The building maintains a consistent rhythmic logic utilising deep recesses and a sophisticated material transition to break down the 10-storey scale into a series of articulated, human-scale volumes.”

<img alt="First Look: Plans lodged for topography-led affordable housing project in Bellevue Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0147f503-1af1-4d51-97fb-c2f1cba63a9d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Bellevue%20bldg.png?VersionId=GoW7q3NlK67OpnePXhk7zvklrlKb72Qc" />

Large-format sandstone tiles will define the lower levels, establishing a robust base that negotiates the change in elevation from Bellevue Road. Above, red-tinted precast concrete frames, recessed balconies, anodised aluminium screens and expanded metal details will create a more vertically expressed façade. Integrated planter beds will introduce greenery across balcony edges and recessed sections of the building.

The elongated northern façade has been divided into three recessed vertical masses to reduce its perceived length. Triangular window elements and metal privacy screens reference the geometry of nearby Art Deco buildings while controlling overlooking toward surrounding homes. The southern elevation will incorporate further privacy screening, landscaped edges and deep balconies to maintain light and ventilation.

Private and communal landscaping is distributed throughout the development. A landscaped garden apartment is positioned within the lower portion of the site, while a communal terrace on Level 5 will include a central timber deck, barbecue facilities, resident planting plots and areas for outdoor dining and informal gatherings.

Common Office described the terrace as an elevated sanctuary designed to capture district views and sunlight. Its planting strategy incorporates endemic species associated with the Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub, extending the landscape vertically through the building and providing habitat for local flora and fauna.

A second communal outdoor area is proposed at roof level, with built-in seating, paved gathering areas and perimeter planting.

Bellevue Hill is enjoying renewed momentum in the new apartment market, with several boutique developments recently launched and currently under construction. Positive Investment Enterprise is delivering the 16-apartment Kew Palm House on Birriga Road, while Chanine Developments is also under construction at Florian, a 36-apartment project on Banksia Road.

South Brisbane's apartment pipeline continues to build momentum, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/trk-property-group">TRK Property Group</a> lodging plans for a 161-apartment tower on Montague Road as developers accelerate investment across the Kurilpa Sustainable Growth Precinct.

The proposal for 176–186 Montague Road would replace an existing office building with a 20-storey residential tower designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, adding to a growing pipeline of high-density projects reshaping one of Brisbane's fastest-evolving inner-city precincts.

The project has been conceived as a "living building", featuring a flowing tower form, extensive vertical landscaping, and generous communal spaces that respond to the evolving Kurilpa Sustainable Growth Precinct.

TRK Property Group Development Director Matt Kan said the project reflected the confidence developers have in South Brisbane's long-term future.

"South Brisbane is entering an incredibly exciting period, and we see Montague Road sitting right at the heart of that evolution," Kan said.

"With the former Visy site directly opposite us and significant investment planned throughout the broader Kurilpa precinct, there is a real sense of momentum around this part of the city and what it will become over the coming years.

"For TRK, this is an opportunity to be part of that next chapter and deliver a project that responds to where the precinct is heading, while contributing to the continued evolution of Brisbane's river edge."

<img alt="First look: TRK Property joins South Brisbane apartment surge with Montague Road tower plans" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="590fe1ad-f892-4446-a679-80e33a16d029" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/TRK%20tower%20facade.png?VersionId=uOJStrcKpyHFcPE1w6_9SMAFzVMCcZll" />

The scheme includes a mix of one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, incorporating multi-purpose rooms in selected residences to provide additional flexibility for home offices or expanded living areas. The proposed mix comprises 15 one-bedroom, 13 one-bedroom plus MPR, 73 two-bedroom, 26 two-bedroom plus MPR, 30 three-bedroom, and four four-bedroom apartments.

Rather than adopting a conventional rectilinear tower, COX Architecture has developed a sculpted form inspired by the movement of the Brisbane River.

"The proposal has been designed by COX Architecture as a 'living building' that responds to the site's riverine setting, floodplain history and evolving urban context within the Kurilpa Sustainable Growth Precinct," the planning report states.

"The architectural form draws from the fluid nature of the Brisbane River, with a curved and undulating tower form that creates a varied architectural edge and avoids a conventional rectilinear tower expression."

The podium has also been designed as an architectural feature rather than a conventional parking structure, with cascading planting, screening and natural-toned materials softening its appearance. Resident parking is elevated above ground level to address the site's flood constraints, while habitable apartments sit above flood planning levels. Upper-level communal facilities are designed to accommodate shelter-in-place arrangements during major flood events.

<img alt="First look: TRK Property joins South Brisbane apartment surge with Montague Road tower plans" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="01fa15d0-90df-46c7-9555-7941fc45373c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/TRK%20podium.png?VersionId=mHyua.w1pHGBt9qEdWzrlsv.leztUCwO" />

Communal amenity is a major focus of the proposal. Around 1,815 sqm of shared resident space is proposed across the ground floor, level 19 and the rooftop, including co-working areas, indoor and outdoor recreation spaces, wellness facilities, dining and gathering areas, lawn spaces, a rooftop pool and spa, and extensive landscaping. At street level, a landscaped forecourt and approximately 345 sqm of publicly accessible open space along Montague Road are intended to improve the pedestrian experience while activating the building's frontage.

The development will provide 163 car spaces, including 152 resident bays and 11 visitor spaces, together with 144 bicycle spaces incorporating resident storage, visitor parking, bicycle maintenance facilities and e-mobility charging infrastructure.

The site sits within one of Brisbane's fastest-changing inner-city precincts, less than two kilometres from the CBD and within easy reach of South Bank, West End, the Queensland Cultural Centre and extensive public transport connections. The Kurilpa Sustainable Growth Precinct planning framework is encouraging higher-density residential development to help meet Brisbane's housing supply targets while supporting walkable, transit-oriented neighbourhoods.

Pikos Group has released the five-penthouse collection at its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/skye-residences-by-pikos-kangaroo-point-8-river-terrace-kangaroo-point-qld-4169">Skye by Pikos</a> development in Kangaroo Point, with early buyer interest indicating the flagship residences could eclipse every apartment sale previously recorded in Queensland.

The collection crowns the luxury riverfront development with five residences, including four completed penthouses and Skye One, a two-level sky home spanning more than 1,000 sqm that will be tailored to its eventual owner.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90059 project_image_fid=374075]

Wanting to offer a fully customisable home, Pikos is offering Skye One as a blank canvas, allowing the buyer to work alongside the developer's design team to customise the home's layout, finishes and internal spaces.

The residence will feature a 247 sqm private rooftop terrace with its own swimming pool, sauna, steam room, outdoor kitchen and multiple entertaining areas overlooking the Brisbane River and CBD skyline.

The remaining four penthouses have been completed and are ready for immediate occupation, each offering four bedrooms, expansive open-plan living areas, soaring ceilings and private lift access.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90059 project_image_fid=374059]

One of the defining features throughout the project is its use of Roman Classic Travertine, with more than 20,000 sqm of the natural stone imported from Italy after being personally selected by Pikos Group Founder and Executive Director Pedro Pikos, interior designer Julie Williamson and third-generation stone specialist Mario Caucci.

Pikos said the penthouse collection represented the culmination of the company's long-term vision for Skye.

"True legacy isn't measured by what we build today, but by what endures tomorrow," Pikos said.

"Our ambition is to create places that become more valuable with time, enrich the lives of generations, and stand as timeless landmarks long after we've stepped away."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90059 project_image_fid=374060]

Williamson said the interiors were inspired by the natural character of Kangaroo Point and the Brisbane River rather than international design trends.

"Materiality tells the story of a place," Williamson said.

"We looked to the movement of the Brisbane River, the texture of the cliff face and the warmth of the surrounding landscape to create interiors that feel understated, enduring and unmistakably Brisbane."

Positioned above the Kangaroo Point cliffs, Skye places residents within walking distance of Howard Smith Wharves, South Bank and James Street while offering uninterrupted river and city views.

Brisbane's next apartment price record? Pikos unveils Skye's exclusive penthouse collection

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.

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. With its recent upgrades, NatHERS has evolved into a world-leading tool for the building sector, supporting the global commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

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.

<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>

Off-the-plan property explained: What is stamp duty?

Kokoda Property has provided the first glimpse into what life could look like as part of Brisbane’s largest private development, a $1.5 billion mixed-use precinct on the banks of Teneriffe.&nbsp;

Known as <a href="/new-apartments/teneriffe-banks-17-27-skyring-terrace-teneriffe">Teneriffe Banks</a>, the next evolution of Brisbane City will provide a place to live, work, play and rejuvenate, spanning residential, hotel, commercial, and riverfront dining and retail.&nbsp;

Teneriffe Banks will comprise five unique buildings, The Interloom (North and South), The Ferry Building, The Store Houses (North and South) and within them, The Woven Lofts.&nbsp;

<img alt="Teneriffe Banks site plan" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e3c1a954-edca-4b55-a4ba-9a42a6d5316b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/240802_Marketing%20Set_Site%20Plan_v2.jpg?VersionId=P7_AZlwU3BNXfUFLA2n9.1_bqzrQV4j1" />

Over 200 dwellings will soon be available, ranging from luxury apartments to modern penthouse residences and grand,&nbsp;woolstore-inspired lofts.&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="/architects/cottee-parker-architects">Cottee Parker Architects</a> and <a href="/architects/carr-design">Carr</a>, Teneriffe Banks is set amongst lush gardens and open spaces, connecting Skyring Terrace back to the Brisbane River via sprawling laneways, Helen Lane, Wool Lane and Brick Lane.&nbsp;

Perched along the Brisbane River, the Teneriffe Banks flagship buildings known collectively as The Interloom, are designed to connect the urban landscape with the waterfront. The Interloom South will be home to a collection of two, three and four-bedroom luxury apartments and penthouses with resort-style common amenities including dining rooms, rooftop pool and spa, and coworking spaces.&nbsp;

<img alt="Teneriffe Banks overlooking Brisbane River" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8ebb6a2a-e7c3-4d9f-a11c-4fbe1fbd8c2e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/EA14b%20-%20Marina%20Brisbane%20River%20South.jpg?VersionId=3evWuxvBtVptBkFQeUXt2tcXDx7T9ttV" />

The Interloom North will be home to Brisbane’s first Kimpton Hotel, which will feature a 200-plus-seat signature restaurant and bar, spa with multiple treatment rooms, a fitness centre, large-scale multi-purpose meeting and event spaces, as well as an open-air Garden Terrace complete with infinity pool, and a rooftop bar with spectacular Brisbane city views.&nbsp;

The Ferry Building, adjacent to the iconic <a href="/developments/teneriffe-qld-4005">Teneriffe</a>&nbsp;Ferry Terminal, will feature expansive modernist homes with 3.6m ceiling heights, offering layouts that masterfully blend the neighbourhood character of the woolstores with modern craft.&nbsp;

Along Skyring Terrace, The Store Houses North and South will be home to modern warehouse residences known as The Woven Lofts, offering a contemporary interpretation of the iconic Teneriffe warehouse, inspired by the world’s best post-industrial homes.&nbsp;

<img alt="Teneriffe Banks terrace" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9af1602d-914f-4a85-ab7e-66f51dddc4a1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/EL03b%20-%20T2%20L2%20Podium%20Terrace.jpg?VersionId=e3xTvgpINyQtNxT.7zHf3PBu1SwN6DDY" />

Nestled above The Woven Lofts will sit the fifth collection of homes, The Store Houses, which kits onto both the north and south buildings along Skyring Terrace and captures the urban character and city form, inspired by the geometry of the masterplan with a selection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, and a unique loft apartment masterfully designed to take advantage of both city and river views.&nbsp;

<a href="/developers/kokoda-property">Kokoda Property</a> Founder and Managing Director Mark Stevens said that Teneriffe Banks will be the developer’s crowning achievement.&nbsp;

“Teneriffe Banks is one of the largest private developments within Brisbane and with that, comes a weight of responsibility," Stevens said.

"We have worked tirelessly to refine the masterplan and vision for the site and believe it will leave a lasting legacy for the city of Brisbane. It will become a global destination where people can meet, connect, and enjoy for generations to come."

Teneriffe Banks is a collaboration between design partners Cottee Parker Architects, Carr, and <a href="/architects/urbis">Urbis Town Planning and Landscaping</a>.&nbsp;

“The advantage of working with two architectural practices is that they both feed off each other, finding strengths in their respective niches and harmoniously bring them together. I believe we have successfully combined the best of both worlds,” Stevens added.

Demand for new apartments on the Lower North Shore increased to their highest levels in over two years in the second quarter of 2024.

Data from <a href="https://industry.urban.com.au/data-insights">MatterFact</a>, <a href="/" target="">Apartments.com.au's</a>&nbsp;new data product, showed enquiry jumped 20 per cent between Q1 2024 to Q2 2024 across Lower North Shore suburbs, with the likes of <a href="/new-apartments/north-sydney-nsw">North Sydney</a>, <a href="/new-apartments/crows-nest-nsw-2065">Crows Nest</a>, <a href="/new-apartments/mosman-nsw-2088">Mosman</a> and <a href="/new-apartments/roseville-nsw-2069">Roseville</a> seeing the largest increases.

Enquiry hasn't been at this level since 2022.

Increased levels of enquiry were the most prevalent at the upper end of the market. While the most popular price point enquired on across the Lower North Shore in Q2 2024 was between $1.5 million to $2 million, the biggest increase in enquiry came in the $3.5 million to $4.5 million range.

Smaller, boutique apartment developments in some of the Lower North Shore's most affluent suburbs saw a lot of interest, while the ever-popular <a href="/buildings/aura-by-aqualand-north-sydney-168-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">AURA by Aqualand</a>, recently completed by Aqualand's inhouse construction arm on North Sydney's dress circle Walker Street, saw an increase in its luxury three-bedroom apartments toward the top of the Woods Bagot designed tower.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=286062]

The suburb search on Apartments.com.au didn't throw up too many curveballs for the Lower North Shore compared to recent quarters.&nbsp; The most searched suburb for every quarter over the&nbsp;last 12 months has been <a href="/developments/chatswood-nsw-2067">Chatswood</a>,&nbsp;one of the northernmost suburbs in the Lower North Shore.

There are only a handful of new apartment developments in the market in Chatswood. Central Element's <a href="/new-apartments/ethos-15-ellis-street-753-pacific-highway-chatswood">Ethos Chatswood</a> launched in late 2022 and is on track to complete its construction by late 2025. Over 70 per cent of the 49 apartments have sold to date. Goldfields Group is developing <a href="/new-apartments/the-bryson-of-chatswood-871-877-pacific-highway-chatswood">The Bryson of Chatswood</a> nearby, 70 apartments across a 23-level tower.

The newest entry to the Chatswood new apartments market has been <a href="/new-apartments/hammond-greens-chatswood-5-9-gordon-avenue-chatswood">Hammond Greens</a>&nbsp;by Tian An, one of Australia’s oldest listed property developers. The FJC Studio designed tower offers 64 apartments across 27 levels on Gordon Avenue, next to the Chatswood Bowling Club.

The apartments will sit above&nbsp;1,476 sqm of retail and commercial space, aiming to offer a diverse hybrid work environment and communal spaces to foster connection with the local and broader community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142900 project_image_fid=252178]

Chatswood buyers are expected to have more choice next year given the number of development applications filed last year following the amendment to the&nbsp;Chatswood CBD Planning and&nbsp;Urban Design Strategy&nbsp;2026. The amendment saw the CBD boundary expanded to the north which opened up the height limit to another area of the city.

Last year Bridgestone <a href="/news/nsw/bridgestone-file-for-two-tower-chatswood-apartment-project">filed for two towers with 95 apartments</a>, while VIMG <a href="/news/nsw/first-look-vimg-plot-two-tower-chatswood-apartment-development-nelson-place">wants to develop two towers</a> with over 190 apartments.

Busy developer <a href="/developers/billbergia">Billbergia</a> also proposed two new towers, their first development in the area. They're planning <a href="/news/nsw/billbergia-focus-on-hybrid-remote-working-at-new-chatswood-apartment-development">two slim 27-level towers with 251 apartments</a> atop a podium with retail, commercial showrooms and&nbsp;flexible SOHO style live/work offerings.

<a href="/developers/coronation-property">Coronation Property</a> is expecting to launch its Chatswood tower in 2025. That will have around <a href="/news/nsw/coronation-property-acquires-200-million-chatswood-development-site-expect-130-apartment-tower">114 apartments at 57-61 Archer Street</a>, in the centre of the suburb and across the road from key amenities including Westfield Chatswood and Chatswood Chase.

As Sydney exits winter, the Eastern Suburbs new apartment market is starting to hot up once more.

Despite the chill setting in, enquiry across Australia's most affluent region remained strong.

Q1 2024 saw the highest level of enquiries for the Eastern Suburbs on Urban since 2022, surpassing the previous peak in Q4 2023, according to data from <a href="https://industry.urban.com.au/data-insights">MatterFact</a>, Apartments.com.au's new data product.

While demand cooled from the Q1 spike, Q2 2024 was comparable with Q4 2023, showing a prolonged increase in demand in the last three quarters in the Eastern Suburbs.

Demand in Q1 2024 was primarily driven by the upper end of the market. There were more enquiries for apartments between $2.5 million and $4 million than there were for apartments priced under $2.5 million.

Q2 saw a shift back to affordability, with the final release of apartments at Crown Group's <a href="/developments/eastlakes-nsw-2018">Eastlakes</a> apartment development, <a href="/buildings/the-grand-residences-eastlakes-16-evans-avenue-eastlakes">The Grand Residences</a>. The two-bedroom apartments in The Grand Residences are selling for well below $1 million.

Due to a shareholder dispute, Crown Group was placed into provisional liquidation in August 2023. The apartments are now being released to the market in an ordinary wind-down of the Group. &nbsp;

The first stage of the project, above a vibrant precinct with 15 retailers, features Crown Group’s signature high-end amenity that includes a 25-metre heated pool, gym, landscaped gardens, BBQ facilities, and rooftop deck with panoramic views.

What are new apartment buyers in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs looking for? MatterFact Insight

The Avidan family's DARE Property Group is taking its well-regarded Eastern Suburbs development ethos to Mosman, where they're planning on bringing in a new era of shoptop housing to the Lower North Shore's most affluent suburb.

Earlier this year <a href="/developers/dare-property-group">DARE</a> secured a prime&nbsp;1,286 sqm, triple site at&nbsp;696, 700 and 706 Military Road, in the heart of Mosman.

It is&nbsp;currently occupied by tired shoptop housing, which is set to make way for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/amara-mosman-696-706-military-road-mosman-nsw-2088">AMARA</a>, a fresh new building designed by DKO Architecture who says the proposal considers Mosman’s eclectic character, materiality and colour along Military Road and heritage surrounds.

"As&nbsp;Mosman evolves further to meet changing conditions, it is vital that its architecture and built fabric changes to preserve and improve on its identity, while responding to the needs of a new generation," DKO noted in the Design Outline submitted to the local council.

<img alt="DARE" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="cbc79f40-4763-4e74-9826-089fbf16aeb7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-08-05%20at%209.14.10%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Qckx.F2O3M6oTEFn.elZpxX6f05BlPaw" />

The plan is for 27 apartments above a revived street-level retail. There will be one, two and three-bedroom largescale apartments on offer.

The apartments wrap around a central courtyard which DKO says is a key feature for the project and a point of difference for the development's community.

"Open to the sky, this central courtyard is filled with natural daylight, allowing plants to thrive. Additionally, planters off each level’s residential lobby places nature at the doorsteps of individual homes. With common corridors open to the sky and landscape, a unique entry experience is crafted for residents."

<img alt="DARE" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c8a324c2-5cfe-448d-a5fe-f832ec05a028" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-08-05%20at%209.15.44%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=BPcSeEYttGWgCoFP17PDUebF1SZemBEb" />

David Avidan says Mosman is at a crucial point in the suburb's lifecycle.

"As consumers pivot away from shopping malls, the opportunity has never been greater to reinvigorate the local streetscape with European-style cafes, bars and desirable retail," Avidan said.

"DARE is committed to delivering a project that will meet the needs of the Mosman community, as well as compliment the existing village life by way of delivering spaces that will attract renowned retailers who would have previously overlooked the idyllic enclave” &nbsp;

DARE is committing to the NSW Government's push for affordable housing. Eight of the 27 apartments will be affordable housing.

"Providing diversity in housing for the Mosman community assists in creating a vibrant and inclusive neighbourhood," DKO noted.

DARE Property Group has predominantly operated in the luxury Eastern Suburbs market. They're currently developing <a href="/buildings/fontaine-vaucluse-63-new-south-head-road-vaucluse">Fontaine at Vaucluse</a>, just six luxury apartments, as well as <a href="/new-apartments/piper-2a-wunulla-road-point-piper">Piper</a>, 15 apartments on Point Piper's dress circle Wolseley Road in a joint venture with Fortis.

In mid-2023 DARE completed <a href="/new-apartments/kalypso-63-fletcher-street-tamarama">Kalypso</a> in Tamarama, where the $17 million penthouse sold for a record $96,500 per sqm.

"As consumers pivot away from shopping malls, the opportunity has never been greater to reinvigorate the local streetscape with European-style cafes, bars and desirable retail," David Avidan said.

Billbergia, one of Sydney's most active developers, is continuing to assist in helping the NSW Government reach its ambitious goal of delivering 376,000 new dwellings, including approximately 15,800 social and affordable homes, by 2029.

<a href="/developers/billbergia">Billbergia</a> has lodged a State Significant Development Application for a mixed-use apartment development at a 1,537 sqm site in <a href="/developments/rhodes-nsw-2138">Rhodes</a>. They're seeking a 30 per cent height uplift, given the amount of affordable housing they're including in the tower.

The Design Excellence Scheme by Group GSA was for 37 levels, but Billbergia is seeking to add a further 11 levels given their commitment to 15 per cent affordable housing. The uplift takes the 117-metre permitted height to 152 metres.

<img alt="Billbergia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="273a3e54-c278-4918-87b9-2d716c7487f8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-08-02%20at%2011.50.50%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=g6tIkgXkLZR3wWddt5n0u.MHYSrLAfI_" />

The site at 9 Blaxland Road and 424 Concord, situated in the central area of Rhodes, has been identified as an important Strategic Centre in the Eastern City District Plan, with significant potential for creating additional jobs and homes.

Currently occupying the site is the Rhodes Business Centre, a four level commercial office building which Group GSA says "lacks active frontages at the ground level and engages with the surrounding public domain poorly."

The new development aims to capitalise on Rhodes' proximity to transport corridors, employment centres, and recreational facilities, making it suitable for affordable and market housing.

<img alt="Billbergia Rhodes" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="00ac135c-3e83-43bc-95db-8a300cd374e9" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-08-07%20at%2010.27.50%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=dfX75J49coa.udoSoWhCBKAnuMCYjgvK" />

The 48-level mixed-use residential tower will home 319 apartments, with 15 per cent designated to affordable housing.&nbsp;

The apartment mix comprises 13 studios, 54 one-bedroom apartments, 129 two-beds, 114 three-beds, five four-bedroom, and four five-bedroom units, set above 1,333 sqm of retail and commercial spaces in the podium.

An architectural design competition held in April 2023 saw&nbsp;<a href="/architects/group-gsa">Group GSA</a>&nbsp;chosen to design the building which will sit in landscaping by&nbsp;Singapore-based landscape architects Salad Dressing.

"The landscape design has been embedded into the architecture of the proposed building, creating a ‘vertical forest’ and ‘community in the sky’," the documents submitted to NSW Major Projects planning portal.

"The vertical forest will soften the building and improve the visual amenity of the site."

There will be a green link between the ground floor and the public domain up to the rooftop canopy.

<img alt="Billbergia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7c1b479c-7ed9-4d33-9174-26f8bee43bbc" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-08-02%20at%2011.50.57%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sNgqfPi8Ar0FI.Nlpuwu_bFbjVvI..Kr" />

Communal spaces are also integrated into the design, with two areas of communal open space for residents.

The development will include 12 basement levels for 280 car parking spaces, 723 bicycle parking spaces, and 64 motorbike spaces.

New street trees will be planted in the public domain and along all road frontages, and a rooftop canopy will offer additional greenery.

The site's location is highly accessible, with an entry portal to the Rhodes Train Station immediately adjacent to Blaxland Road and nearby bus services on Concord Road.

Sydney and Melbourne property developer, Time &amp; Place, has been given the green light for its first project on Sydney's Northern Beaches.

They'll be developing in <a href="/developments/manly-nsw-2095">Manly</a>&nbsp;where they've secured approval for Two Tides, a five-level, $100 million development with 24 apartments at <a href="/new-apartments/two-tides-manly-9-raglan-street-manly-nsw-2095">35-43 Belgrave Street</a>.

The two and three-bedroom apartments will sit above ground-floor retail.

Designed by&nbsp;<a href="/architects/sjb-architects">SJB Architects</a>&nbsp;to target&nbsp;local downsizers and rightsizers, the development primarily aims to appeal to residents who have lived in Manly for many years and want to stay in the suburb.

<a href="/developers/time-place">Time &amp; Place</a> Director, and Manly local, Evan Papadopoulos, said they have developed a building that they believe is tailored to optimise all the best things Manly has to offer.

"Future residents will appreciate the proximity to the beach and convenience to the ferry. They likely have grown up in Manly or lived here for many years and appreciate the unique lifestyle that Manly offers, where you can wake up at 6:30, be surfing by 7, then be back home, showered, and in the city by 8:30am."

He said the team is particularly proud of the penthouses which will introduce generous outdoor spaces that offer unparalleled views.

&nbsp;

"As a Manly local, I am incredibly proud to bring this exceptional development to the heart of our vibrant neighbourhood. Time &amp; Place is deeply invested in Manly, and we are keen to establish ourselves as an integral part of this tight-knit community.

"This development will not only bolster the local economy but also enrich the lives of residents, enhancing the unique and inspiring lifestyle that makes Manly so special. We are steadfast in our commitment to this amazing part of Sydney and are actively looking for new opportunities in the area."

Time &amp; Place is currently in active conversations with a local favourite retailer to occupy the ground floor retail space.

Melbourne developer,&nbsp;M3 Group, has sold out its&nbsp;inaugural townhouse development, 158 Purinuan Rd in Reservoir.

Each of the four townhouses were delivered in just eight months through M3's own inhouse construction team, and were snapped up pre-completion by owner-occupiers who have recently settled on their purchases.

Vincent Mancuso, Director of <a href="/developers/m3-group">M3 Group</a>, said the team are thrilled with the success of <a href="/buildings/158-purinuan-rd-by-m3-group-158-purinuan-road-reservoir">158 Purinuan Rd</a>.

"Our team's dedication to quality and attention to detail has clearly resonated with buyers, and we look forward to continuing this momentum in our future projects."

One of the truest signs of a reputable builder and developer is they deliver on what they've sold. Below is an image of the completed townhouse, which looks identicle to the renders created as part of the marketing through Blair Property's Darren Blair.

Darren Blair, Director of <a href="/project-marketer/blair-property">Blair Property Group</a>, said the rapid sell-out and settlement of 158 Purinuan Rd is a clear indication of the market's confidence in M3 Group's ability to deliver high-quality homes.

"We are excited about the upcoming completions and new launches, and we are confident they will continue to meet and exceed buyer expectations."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142461 project_image_fid=240514]

M3 Group is creating a string of new townhouses in <a href="/developments/reservoir-vic-3073">Reservoir</a>, redefining the townhouse landscape and offering something that's not been delivered before in the suburb north of Melbourne.

They have sold four out of five townhouses in their other Reservoir development 48 Dundee Street, which is set to complete next week, while 69 Hickford St, another four townhouses, is around four weeks out from completion. Only one townhouse remains there too.

&nbsp;

M3 Group is now switching its focus to the neighbouring Preston where they're soon to start construction on four townhouses at 23 Sussex Street, just off Dundas Street and not far from the&nbsp;Preston Activity Area.
