Sydney's top new apartment developments launching in 2025

<p>Melbourne’s off the plan apartment market received a major boost in October when the Victorian Government announced the immediate abolition of stamp duty, effective for the next 12 months until October 2025.</p>

<p>The surprise announcement quickly ignited a flurry of activity among developers who had previously been holding off launching projects, waiting for a range of unpredictable factors to align before launching new projects.</p>

<p>With this new incentive expected to increase buyer demand, many developers are now eager to get their projects into the market as soon as possible.</p>

<p>As a result, Melbourne is set to see a significant influx of new projects in 2025, from towering CBD developments — which have largely been absent in the past five years — to boutique buildings in some of the city’s trendiest suburbs.</p>

<p>In this article, we explore where, what, and who is driving the most exciting new developments coming to Melbourne in 2025.</p>

<h2>Who:&nbsp;Far East Consortium</h2>

<h2>What: 640Bourke</h2>

<h2>Where: Melbourne</h2>

<p>One of the first CBD tower launches in recent memory is set to hit the market in 2025 with&nbsp;<a href="/developers/far-east-consortium">Far East Consortium</a>, the developer of the four-tower, $1 billion West Side Place on Spencer Street, seeking to again change the Melbourne CBD skyline.</p>

<p>Early next year they'll launch Monument, just over 600 apartments at 640 Bourke Street, at the eastern end of the long street and a stone's throw from Flinders Station.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=316025]</p>

<p>Monument has been designed by <a href="/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> and will integrate four levels of amenities, gallery spaces, and a revitalised Langs Lane which will be in the redeveloped Eliza Tinsley building which dates back to 1925.</p>

<p>One, two and three-bedroom apartments will start from $640,000.</p>

<h2>Who: S P Setia</h2>

<h2>What: Atlas, Melbourne</h2>

<h2>Where: Melbourne</h2>

<p>Malaysian developer <a href="/developers/s-p-setia">S P Setia</a>, who has been behind the likes of UNO Melbourne, Sapphire by The Gardens, and Fulton Lane, is also set to launch a new tower in the CBD.</p>

<p><a href="/new-apartments/atlas-melbourne-383-la-trobe-street-melbourne">Atlas Melbourne</a>, a 71-level skyscraper at 383 La Trobe Street, just down the road from UNO, will have just shy of 800 apartments.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="S P Setia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="86b6dfc7-9a0d-440c-a7fd-d4c907b82078" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-12-05%20at%209.55.11%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4ahW0zLY5_UnBUM5O3xqc5LEH_y8o4Ki" /></p>

<p><a href="/architects/cox-architecture">Cox Architecture</a> has worked with <a href="/architects/fk-australia">FK Australia</a> to create what it being pitched as "something new for Melbourne, while being entirely of Melbourne.</p>

<p>It pays homage to the history of the 2,850 sqm site, formerly the home of the Royal Mint.</p>

<p>There will be around 163 studio apartments on offer, 373 one-beds, 206 two's, and 55 three-bed apartments, located above a two-level arcade with eight retail tenancies.</p>

<h2>Who: CASA</h2>

<h2>What: 671 Chapel Street</h2>

<h2>Where: South Yarra</h2>

<p>South Yarra's famous Chapel Street is set for an injection of new apartments, and it's not Gurner's Jam Factory redevelopment.</p>

<p>Developer CASA has taken over a site at 671 Chapel Street, a site which has had several planning approvals over the years, the most recent coming earlier this year when Daniel Grollo's HOME was approved for a build-to-rent project.</p>

<p>CASA has grabbed the reigns and will launch a collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments designed by <a href="/architects/bates-smart">Bates Smart</a> and in landscaping by <a href="/landscape-architect/jack-merlo">Jack Merlo</a>.</p>

<p><img alt="Chapel St" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6cb508a2-c62e-445b-adaa-09273a4e6406" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-12-04%20at%209.55.34%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=8uC1zmQ_gMSTovkfO0qeTBSDgrkmf82W" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Chapel St site is just behind Melbourne High School, which means protected viewlines to the CBD.</p>

<p>CASA is led by Renato Calandro, a former executive of Grollo's Grocon and HOME. CASA is also working on projects in Fitzroy, Port Melbourne, and a development in North Sydney in a joint venture with Podia.</p>

<h2>Who:&nbsp;Abadeen</h2>

<h2>What: Grandview Prahran</h2>

<h2>Where: Prahran</h2>

<p>The VIC arm of luxury Sydney developer <a href="/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a> has been active in the market since entering it around 12 months ago.</p>

<p>Currently developing <a href="/new-apartments/malea-94-burke-road-malvern-east">Malae</a>, a boutique collection of seven apartments in <a href="/developments/malvern-east-vic-3145">Malvern East</a>, of which more than half are spoken for, will kick off 2025 by launching their second Melbourne project.</p>

<p><img alt="Prahran" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6f269a9d-5dc4-4f58-902d-dfb09c2b893b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-12-05%20at%202.38.07%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=1s7os5l9aSLwjGABPuUN34woFNMpQFzx" /></p>

<p>Earlier this year Abadeen, who is being led locally by former CBRE executive and developer Andrew Leoncelli, secured a prime 2,198 sqm site at 616-646 High Street&nbsp;in Prahran. They had Carr put together the designs for <a href="/new-apartments/grandview-prahran-616-646-high-street-prahran-vic-3181">Grandview Prahran</a>, which curves around a national trust significant Smookt Bark Apple tree.</p>

<p>The four-level building will have 26 large-scale aparments, with the two-beds starting from around 100 sqm and the three's ranging in size to 269 sqm.</p>

<p>Pending council approval which should come in the next week, they will launch the project</p>

<h2>Who:&nbsp;Abadeen</h2>

<h2>Where: Caulfield North</h2>

<p>Abadeen is going large-scale again next year, and another parkside project.</p>

<p>Later in the year they're hoping to launch a new project in&nbsp;<a href="/developments/caulfield-north-vic-3161?sort=">Caulfield North</a>, predominantly made up of large three-bedroom apartments.</p>

<p>The 1,060 sqm site at <a href="/new-apartments/219-229-balaclava-road-caulfield-north">219-229 Balaclava Road</a>, directly across from Caulfield Park, came with approved plans for a seven-level building.</p>

<p>Abadeen brought in architecture firm Powell &amp; Glenn to alter the apartment makeup and tweak the design to give it a "New York-style feel".</p>

<p>Large apartments for the downsizer is the path Abadeen is taking in Melbourne, following the blueprint of what Abadeen has created for decades across Sydney's most affluent suburbs in the Lower North Shore.</p>

<h2>Who: Hamton</h2>

<h2>What: Scotch Hill Gardens</h2>

<h2>Where: Hawthorn</h2>

<p>Community developer <a href="/developers/hamton">Hamton</a> will launch Scotch Hill Gardens, its highly anticipated Hawthorn masterplan on the former home of the University of Melbourne, early next year.</p>

<p>The major residential development <a href="/new-apartments/hawthorn-vic-3122">Auburn Road</a> is one of the largest to be approved under the Allan government’s accelerated Development Facilitation Program, which seeks to reduce the application timeframe for eligible projects.</p>

<p><img alt="Hamton" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ac68e533-8dca-40e9-baf3-66208388e980" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-12-05%20at%2012.26.19%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=H8GgTZQM4C5rsSPVg3X_FP1iu2UN_cd8" /></p>

<p>After a joint application from <a href="/developers/hamton">Hamton</a> and the University of Melbourne in March 2022, the Planning Minister oversaw the rezoning of the site from public use to enable residential development and approved a detailed development plan to govern planning outcomes for the 1.6ha site.</p>

<p>Hamton’s Founder and Executive Chairman, Paul Hameister OAM, said the project will create a rare opportunity for buyers in a premium suburb that is highly sought-after.</p>

<p>The development's ground floor will feature a brand-new Woolworths supermarket, designed to provide a convenient, fresh retail offer for the local Glen Iris community, including a six-bay Direct to Boot facility.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Time &amp; Place Founder and Director, Tim Price, says one of the primary focuses of the project has been addressing the need for diversification in housing typologies of Glen Iris.</p>

<p>It's been well documented that the Brisbane unit market has been one of the strongest property markets in Australia in 2024.</p>

<p>Only bettered by Perth, the growth in the unit market in <a href="/developments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a> has been the strongest it has been in around four decades, exclusive data from property data analytics company CoreLogic found</p>

<p>You'd have to go <a href="/news/qld/brisbane-units-growing-at-fastest-rate-since-1988">back to the 1980s</a> to find a better year of growth.</p>

<p>The tight supply in both the established and off the plan market has driven the growth in both segments. When there has been new projects launched in 2024, which have been few and far between, the apartments have been snapped up.</p>

<p>While there are several key developments that have been submitted to the Brisbane City Council, and approved, over the course of 2024, it's difficult to know when those large-scale projects will go to market given the complexities in the built environment in South East Queensland.</p>

<p>In this article, we take a closer look at the&nbsp;<em>what</em>, the&nbsp;<em>who</em>, and the&nbsp;<em>where</em>&nbsp;of the best new apartment developments launching in Brisbane in 2025.</p>

Brisbane's top five new apartment developments to go to market in 2025

<p>The <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> is set to see an exciting wave of new apartment developments completed in 2025, adding to the region's ever-growing skyline and reinforcing its reputation as one of Australia's most sought-after destinations for both investors and residents.</p>

<p>As demand for premium living spaces continues to rise, these seven new off the plan developments each offer a distinct style of living, ranging from island retreats and gated communities to absolute beachfront properties—and everything in between.</p>

<p>Several of these developments, marketed during and shortly after the pandemic, have attracted a significant portion of buyers from Sydney and Melbourne, many of whom plan to relocate to the Gold Coast upon completion or soon after.</p>

<p>In this article, we take a closer look at the <em>what</em>, the <em>who</em>, and the <em>where</em> of the best new developments completing on the Gold Coast in 2025.</p>

<h2>What: Pipis</h2>

<h3>Who:&nbsp;SIERA</h3>

<h3>Where:&nbsp;303 Golden Four Drive, Bilinga QLD 4225</h3>

<p>The best beachfront apartment development to complete next year is SIERA's <a href="/new-apartments/pipis-bilinga-303-golden-four-drive-bilinga-qld-4225">Pipis</a> in <a href="/developments/bilinga-qld-4225">Bilinga</a>.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=138311 project_image_fid=264300]</p>

<p>Pipis comprises just 17 apartments on the dress circle Golden Four Drive and will also feature&nbsp;a heated lap pool, gym, and sun lounge deck.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Around 65 per cent of the buyers so far have been from the Gold Coast and Brisbane, a mix of owner-occupiers, downsizers and investors, while 35 per cent have come from interstate, outside of Sydney and&nbsp;<a href="/developments/melbourne-vic" target="">Melbourne</a>.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=138311 project_image_fid=264308]</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=192964]</p>

<p>SIERA Founder Brent Thompson had been&nbsp;scoping out the Gold Coast market for 18 months before purchasing a prime 1500 sqm site on Darrambal Street.</p>

<p>On submitting plans for Tapestry in 2021, Thompson said&nbsp;<a href="/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>&nbsp;has a "great local community".</p>

<p>"It's a tight-knit community, while being ideally located just a five-minute walk from the international tourist hub of Surfers Paradise."</p>

<p>SIERA's in-house construction team is delivering Tapestry, a 22-level tower with 113 apartments just off the Thomas Street retail strip.</p>

<p>"We have always built in-house, so it was really more about building a team of experienced high-rise staff to deliver Tapestry as we always have as builder/ developer," Thompson says.</p>

Gold Coast's top six new developments completing in 2025

<p>The Sunshine Coast off the plan apartment market is looking prime for a big 2025, with several developments from some of the regions biggest developers to launch next year.</p>

<p>Still a relatively untapped market as far as new apartments goes, a handful of developers have been creating places to live up and down the Sunshine Coast for years, while some are being attracted to the new CBD which is forming in <a href="/developments/maroochydore-qld-4558">Maroochydore</a>, Australia's largest&nbsp;greenfield CBD&nbsp;project.</p>

<p>The new Maroochydore City Centre is being developed on the former 53-hectare Horton Park Golf Club. Around 10,000 residents will eventually call Maroochydore City Centre home with 25,000 workers commuting to the CBD daily.</p>

<p>Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said it would be great to see more apartments in the city centre, bringing even greater vibrancy and excitement to the growing heart of Maroochydore.</p>

<p data-v-a814a589="">“Decades of planning have positioned the Maroochydore City Centre as one of the best locations for housing and high-quality inner-city apartment living," Natoli said.</p>

<p data-v-a814a589="">SunCentral CEO Amanda Yeates said the new city centre is becoming a popular location for apartment living, with more families choosing to call Maroochydore City Centre home.<br />
<br />
“This is an exciting time for the Sunshine Coast as its new city centre rapidly grows, with thousands of people set to make the move to the city centre in the years to come.”</p>

<h2>Who: Habitat Development Group</h2>

<p>Habitat Development Group, one of the leading developers in Maroochydore over the past two decades, is now focusing on another CBD development as the city continues to grow into one of the most economically thriving in the country.</p>

<p>The Millwell will comprise 205 two, three and four-bedroom apartments across two eight-level towers at 2 Millwell Road East, right next to the Sunshine Plaza Shopping Centre.<img alt="Millwell" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d99e0fd9-846a-458f-85e8-7046318aae5a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-11-25%20at%2012.49.30%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=KHaBsTJnJgMVp7nvymiAeEzolxGJZV53" /></p>

As we head into 2025, we explore the what, the where, and the who, of the best new projects launching across the Sunshine Coast next year

The top four apartment developments set to launch on the Sunshine Coast in 2025

<p>In&nbsp;bustling metropolitan cities like Melbourne, the allure of living on a park offers a refreshing respite from inner-city life.</p>

<p>New apartment developments on a park are hard to come by, given the cost of land surrounding a park, much like being beachfront, is typically more expensive.</p>

<p>That's why parkside apartments offer something from both a lifestyle and an investment standpoint, as the lack of abundance of parkside apartments generally speaking means they hold their value, attract more potential buyers, and can yield higher rents.</p>

<p>Parkside apartments appeal to a diverse range of buyers, especially families and pet owners who view the park as an extension of their living space. These developments are often designed to incorporate the natural surroundings, with apartments strategically oriented to maximize views of the greenery, both from inside the homes and on their balconies.</p>

<p>Melbourne is famous for its parks, but a lack of supply means opportunities for buyers are few and far between, with only a handful of new parkside developments coming every year.</p>

<p>We've shone a light on the top four apartment developments currently for sale, and under construction, on some of Melbourne's best parks.</p>

<h2>What: Prince &amp; Parade by Mirvac, Brunswick</h2>

<h3>Where: 701 Park Street, Brunswick VIC 3056</h3>

<h3>Who: Mirvac</h3>

<p>Mirvac's latest parkside apartment development, Prince &amp; Parade, has proven to be a hit with local buyers from Brunswick, as well as the neighbouring Parkville, Princes Hill, and Carlton.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=4802 project_image_fid=217137]</p>

<p>The parkside location on the 39-hectare Princes Park,&nbsp;home of Carlton Football Club, walking paths, sports grounds, and playgrounds,&nbsp;has been one of the biggest drivers in purchasing.</p>

<p>Designed by Bates Smart in collaboration with Mirvac Design and landscaped by Jack Merlo, Prince &amp; Parade comprises 144 one, two, three, and four-bedroom apartments.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=4802 project_image_fid=217119]</p>

<p><a href="/new-apartments/prince-parade-by-mirvac-brunswick-701-park-street-brunswick">Prince &amp; Parade</a> is also just four kilometres from the CBD and is within walking distance of the historically vibrant suburbs of Melbourne's inner north. It's also just a short walk to Jewell Train Station and Royal Park Train Station.</p>

<p>Early site works have commenced on the development by Mirvac's inhouse construction arm.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>What: Maléa, Malvern East</h2>

<h3>Where: 94 Burke Road, Malvern East VIC 3145</h3>

<h3>Who: Abadeen Group</h3>

<p>Maléa is the first development by the Victorian arm of luxury developer Abadeen, a developer who's name has been synonymous with quality apartment developments across Sydney for the best park of two decades.</p>

<p>Their first development is on Central Park in Malvern East where they've created just seven apartments across a boutique building designed by Ewert Leaf with interiors by Carr.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=141969 project_image_fid=222388]</p>

<p>The Burke Road location will put residents across from the seven-hectare Central Park that is bordered by just three streets, making Maléa an incredibly rare opportunity.</p>

<p>Andrew Leoncelli, who leads the Victoria arm of Abadeen, says they chose the site for&nbsp;Maléa because of its incredible location opposite Central Park in the beating heart of&nbsp;<a href="/developments/malvern-east-vic-3145">Malvern East</a>.</p>

<p>"We are committed to delivering a project of exceptional quality in this dynamic and thriving community across from one of the great heritage parks moments from all the very best that&nbsp;<a href="/developments/melbourne-vic" target="">Melbourne</a>&nbsp;has to offer," Leoncelli says.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=141969 project_image_fid=222407]</p>

<p>Brompton is currently building Malae, which is expected to complete in late 2025.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=108801 project_image_fid=236536]</p>

<p>Each apartment will have three bedrooms, multiple living zones, winter gardens and study retreats, as well as a fully automated car parking system likened to a James Bond-style parking.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=108801 project_image_fid=236544]</p>

<p>The three-level penthouse, expected to sell for over $20 million, will have views over Fitzroy Gardens and Melbourne's skyline. It will feature a private rooftop terrace and infinity pool, accessed by either an internal lift or a sculpted spiral staircase.</p>

<p>All residents will have access to a fitness centre, landscaped communal spaces for entertaining guests, and a private concierge service.</p>

<h2>What: Highett Common</h2>

<h3>Where: 37 Graham Road, Highett VIC 3190</h3>

<h3>Who: Sunkin Property Group</h3>

<p>While not next to an established garden so to speak, the apartment buildings in Sunkin Property Group's <a href="/new-apartments/highett-common-37-graham-road-highett-vic-3190">Highett Common</a> will be surrounding by new parks and landscaped pathways.</p>

<p>Four hectares of the large 9.3-hectare block has been reserved for greenery, three of which for a conservation area and one hectare for public parkland.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=300063]</p>

<p>The design of the open spaces has been inspired by the nature already on the site, says Tract senior principal landscape architect Mariano Lopez.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Highett Common will feature several architecturally designed apartments and townhomes that will home more than 1000 residents, with the buildings arranged so they overlook the parklands.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=300077]</p>

<p>After great success of the first two stages, Sunkin recently released the third stage of&nbsp;<a href="/developments/highett-vic-3190">Highett</a>&nbsp;Common. The Mews Collection comprises a trio of buildings with 185 one, two and three-bedroom apartments. The Mews Collection also includes the first luxury apartments within the precinct.</p>

<p><a href="/developers/sunkin-property-group">Sunkin Property Group</a>&nbsp;is expecting the first stage of Highett Common to be complete by late 2025.</p>


Melbourne is famous for its parks, but a lack of supply means opportunities for buyers are few and far between, with only a handful of new parkside developments coming every year.

<p>New apartment owners are increasingly seeking developments that connect to nature due to a growing awareness of the benefits of green living.</p>

<p>As urbanization accelerates, the need for natural spaces within residential areas becomes more pronounced.</p>

<p>Proximity to nature is known to enhance well-being by reducing stress, improving mental health, and fostering physical activity. Natural elements in residential developments, such as parks, green roofs, and landscaped gardens, create a serene environment that contrasts sharply with the often hectic pace of city life.</p>

<p>Part of the trend toward nature in new apartment developments is a rising desire for&nbsp;sustainable living, driven by environmental concerns. Developments that integrate nature often employ eco-friendly practices, such as energy-efficient designs and sustainable materials, appealing to environmentally conscious buyers. These spaces not only offer a healthier lifestyle but also contribute to lower carbon footprints.</p>

<p>Natural surroundings can also enhance the aesthetic appeal and overall value of a property. Buyers are increasingly looking for homes that provide a harmonious balance between modern conveniences and natural beauty, reflecting a broader shift towards lifestyles that prioritize well-being and environmental stewardship. This trend underscores a collective recognition of the importance of integrating nature into everyday living spaces.</p>

<p>In a city where land is at a premium, it's difficult for developers in Sydney to put together a large enough development site to incorporate a significant amount of nature.</p>

<p>We've wrapped up the most nature-fuelled new apartment developments on the market in Sydney right now.</p>

<h2>Project: The Newlands, St Leonards</h2>

<h3>Location: 21-41 Canberra Avenue, St Leonards NSW 2065</h3>

<h3>Developer: Top Spring Australia</h3>

<p>Following its initial launch to the market in late 2022, Sydney developer <a href="/developers/top-spring-australia">Top Spring Australia</a>'s parkside masterplan,&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/the-newlands-st-leonards-21-41-canberra-avenue-st-leonards">The Newlands</a>, has been one of the most sought-after developments in the St Leonards South precinct.</p>

<p>Designed by <a href="/architects/bates-smart">Bates Smart</a> and landscaped by <a href="/landscape-architect/arcadia-landscape-architecture">Arcadia Landscape Architecture</a>, The Newlands emphasises a pedestrian-oriented precinct with a focus on the natural landscape of Newlands Park.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=24509 project_image_fid=257584]</p>

<p>Quietly set off Canberra Avenue, just minutes from the <a href="/developments/st-leonards-nsw-2065">St Leonards</a> activity centre and the train station but with the peace and privacy that living opposite a park brings.</p>

<p>“The Newlands is a breath of fresh air for purchasers looking for lower density, leafy spaces, and a more suburban neighbourhood," Colliers Project Director, Daniel McMahon, said.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=24509 project_image_fid=234815]</p>

<p>The Newlands will be home to 319 apartments across five low and mid-rise buildings. 90 per cent of apartments and terrace homes at The Newlands will have green landscape views and some offer absolute park frontage to the soon-to-be expanded Newlands Park, and all the buildings are connected by a 5,700 sqm communal green spine with boardwalks.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=24509 project_image_fid=263845]</p>

<p>Bordered by parkland on three sides, the community provides unrivalled resident facilities including rooftop dining and entertaining spaces, pool, gym, communal electric vehicles and e-bikes for hire, refrigerated parcel lockers for grocery deliveries, and a digital concierge to connect services such as cleaners, personal trainers, and dog walkers.</p>

<p>The Newlands is under construction with 4.5-star iCIRT-rated builder <a href="/builders/dasco-australia">DASCO</a>, and the first stage is due for completion in late 2025.</p>

<h2>Project: The Orchards | Veue Parkside</h2>

<h3>Location: 15-19 Spurway Drive, Norwest NSW 2153</h3>

<h3>Developer: Sekisui House Australia</h3>

<p><a href="/developers/sekisui-house-australia">Sekisui House</a> Australia has committed to nature in its $1 billion Norwest masterplan, The Orchards.</p>

<p>Veue, stage four of the $1 billion masterplanned community, comprises 583 apartments, nearly half of the total apartments that will make up the 8.1-hectare The Orchards.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=145924 project_image_fid=287363]</p>

<p>Sekisui's most recent stage, <a href="/new-apartments/the-orchards-veue-parkside-norwest-15-19-spurway-drive-norwest-nsw-2153">Veue Parkside</a>, is the most nature-focussed release to date.</p>

<p>Designed by <a href="/architects/crone-architects">Crone Architects</a>, every element of the parkside homes - from the architectural vision to the selection of material - has been carefully curated to reflect and celebrate the ever-changing beauty of nature.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=145924 project_image_fid=287380]</p>

<p><a href="/developers/sekisui-house-australia">Sekisui House Australia</a>&nbsp;sales manager David Lee says Veue Parkside’s direct connection to nature via a vertical green building spine supported by splendid northerly views overlooking&nbsp;<a href="/developments/castle-hill-nsw-2154">Castle Hill</a>&nbsp;Country Club and panoramic aspects across to the Blue Mountains from the west will capture the interest of perceptive buyers.</p>

<p>On its launch, <a href="/news/nsw/sekisui-house-australia-secure-over-85-million-in-apartment-sales-at-veue-parkside-the-orchards-community-in-norwest">over half of the apartments</a> in Veue Parkside sold.&nbsp;Over 60 per cent of sales were secured by&nbsp;Hills Shire residents and the remainder from across Sydney including Vaucluse, Bondi Junction and Maroubra</p>

<h2>Project: Willoughby Grounds</h2>

<h3>Location: 5 Walter Street, Willoughby NSW 2068</h3>

<h3>Developer: First Quadrant Properties</h3>

<p><a href="/new-apartments/willoughby-grounds-5-walter-street-willoughby">Willoughby Grounds</a> puts you in the heart of everything great about the warm, green suburb of <a href="/developments/willoughby-nsw-2068">Willoughby</a>.</p>

<p>The development sits in one of the most beautiful pockets of Sydney – a diverse natural landscape of native bushland, the Lane Cove River and the Middle Harbour estuary.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=135512 project_image_fid=251210]</p>

<p>“Willoughby Grounds is really the best of both worlds – it’s that feeling of being part of a secluded, tucked-away private sanctuary with easy access to the wider amenities of Sydney," Adam Reeves of <a href="/developers/first-quadrant-properties">First Quadrant Properties</a> said.</p>

<p>There will be around 160 apartments spread across the five buildings in Willoughby Grounds, with around 30 to 35 units in each building.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=135512 project_image_fid=251214]</p>

<p>The design brief was to allow the multi-layered architecture and flourishing natural landscape to work in unison to create a sense of serenity and connection to the place.</p>

<p>The communal rooftop, overlooking district views, also reflects its rich natural surroundings, with a garden featuring sculpted stone furniture and blooming plants in large planters.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=135512 project_image_fid=251221]</p>

<p>First Quadrant has the iCIRT-rated builder DASCO currently constructing the project. The first apartments will be ready later this year, and the rest by mid-2025.&nbsp;</p>

Sydney's most nature-fuelled new apartment developments

<p>While established markets tend to take a breather over winter as agents head overseas, it's a busy time in the off the plan development space.</p>

<p>Developers, media agencies and project marketers start to firm up plans for a spring launch of their developments, giving prospective buyers the biggest hit of supply they'll see all year.</p>

<p>Anecdotal feedback from developers and project marketers is that there's enough demand for new apartments at the moment, based on the lack of supply and as long as the product is being delivered by a team with a strong background in development.&nbsp; Many of those who make this list have been in the development game for decades.</p>

<p>We've wrapped up the top developments that are set to launch before the end of 2024.</p>

<h2><b>Who:&nbsp;Milieu</b></h2>

<h2><b>What: Elsternwick Gardens by Milieu</b></h2>

<h2><b>Where: 8 Gordon Street, Elsternwick</b></h2>

<p>Having secured the 11,740 sqm site of the former ABC Studios on Gordon Street in Elsternwick back in 2022, design-focussed developer Milieu has spent the last two years working alongside Woods Bagot, K.P.D.O., Flack Studio, OCULUS, Broached Commissions and March Studio to create a garden-centric community they’re calling <a href="/new-apartments/elsternwick-gardens-by-milieu-8-gordon-street-elsternwick-vic-3185">Elsternwick Gardens by Milieu</a>.</p>

<p>Elsternwick Gardens by Milieu is a low-rise, campus-style development of six buildings and over half a hectare of green open space.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=136535 project_image_fid=288414]</p>

<p>One of the biggest considerations in the planning phase was how to not only incorporate, but celebrate and take advantage of the neighbouring Rippon Lea Estate, the landmark 19th century mansion surrounded by seven hectares of gardens that are deemed some of the best in the country. The estate is listed on the National Heritage Register as one of the finest examples of original suburban estates in Australia.</p>

<p>Elsternwick Gardens by Milieu residents will have private access to the heritage gardens through a gate that can only be accessed by its occupants.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=136535 project_image_fid=288420]</p>

<p>Milieu Managing Director Michael McCormack said Elsternwick Gardens is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.</p>

<p>“The sheer scale of the project, alongside the historical and cultural importance of the site, renders this our most significant undertaking to date. Close to our hearts and planted firmly front of mind, it’s the project that we believe will define our legacy as a creative developer."</p>

<h2>Who:&nbsp;ANGLE</h2>

<h2>What: Fernhurst, 20 apartments and homes&nbsp;</h2>

<h2>Where: Fernhurst Grove, Studley Park Kew</h2>

<p>Boutique apartment developer <a href="/developers/angle">ANGLE</a> is set to launch its Kew apartment development, <a href="/new-apartments/fernhurst-kew-11-15-fernhurst-grove-kew-vic-3101">Fernhurst</a>, in the coming months, having received development approval for the luxury 20-residence project late last year.</p>

<p>The development, on a 4,000 sqm site on the corner of Stawell Street and Fernhurst Grove in Studley Park, will comprise 17 apartments and three homes, ranging in price between $2 million and $7 million.</p>

<p>The site has around 113 metres of frontage to Fernhurst Grove and Stawell Street. Every ground-floor apartment will have an average garden area of over 150 sqm, ANGLE’s most extensively landscaped project to date.</p>

<p><img alt="ANGLE" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="246001fb-e79f-43f7-9a0a-9aff444919ae" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-06-27%20at%2012.54.04%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=kF88TNHudK4SzCOzGmC.SYV9LmR58yhB" /></p>

<p>Having successfully developed the award-winning Fenwick project together just over 500 metres away, ANGLE is once again partnering with architecture practice Edition Office and landscape designer Eckersley Garden Architecture to deliver Fernhurst.</p>

<p>Director Lachie Gibson says Fernhurst will follow in the footsteps of ANGLE’s nearby projects, representing another opportunity for the team to demonstrate its industry-leading focus on design, landscaping and architecture.</p>

<p>Jellis Craig Projects Director Stephen Bowtell is handling the sales.</p>

<h2><b>Who:&nbsp;DARE Property Group</b></h2>

<h2><b>What: St David</b></h2>

<h2><b>Where: 33 St David Street, Fitzroy</b></h2>

<p>Sydney-based developer DARE Property Group is breaking into the high-end residential market in Melbourne.</p>

<p>Its debut development will be in Fitzroy where they're soon to launch <a href="/new-apartments/saint-david-fitzroy-33-st-david-street-fitzroy-vic-3065">St David</a>, just 17 apartments named after its prime position on St David Street, between Smith and Brunswick streets.</p>

<p><b><img alt="St David" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7ffa4d4c-aa34-43b8-947d-0237d9865eda" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-08-02%20at%2010.02.30%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=J9PA7SR2URyiXowjP8pfmYOBOKGfUk5B" /></b></p>

<p>Designed by Cera Stribley, St David will have five two-bedroom apartments, nine three-bed apartments, and three penthouses.</p>

<p>Cera Stribley says 33 St David St "demands a structure of architectural distinction."</p>

<p>"Our design draws inspiration from the rich local context, specifically the iconic Rojo Stools from the former furniture factory. The proposed fluted facade pays homage to the curved form of the stool's seat, creating a simple yet striking architectural tectonic."</p>

<h2>Who: Kincrest</h2>

<h2>What: The Osment - 22 apartments on Grattan Gardens</h2>

<h2>Where: 3-7 Grattan Street, Prahran</h2>

<p>Developer <a href="/developers/kincrest">Kincrest</a> will be bringing one of the best parkside developments to Prahran in Spring after they put together a prime 1,613 sqm site on Grattan Gardens.</p>

<p>They'll be launching 22 two, three and four-bedroom apartments across a seven-level building at <a href="/new-apartments/the-osment-prahran-3-7-grattan-street-prahran">3-7 Grattan Street</a>, a site with a 35-metre frontage to the popular <a href="/developments/prahran-vic-3181">Prahran</a> park.</p>

<p>The mixed-use plans by <a href="/architects/cheah-saw-architecture">Cheah Saw Architecture</a>&nbsp;will include two levels of strata offices and a ground-floor cafe and retail space that will face the park.</p>

<p>"The Greville St precinct, with positive input from the City of Stonnington, has rejuvenated in recent years, we’re really excited to be within such a historical, vibrant area of life," Kincrest Director Tom Howgate says.</p>

<p>"We see this development as contributing to a world-class location."</p>

<h2>Who:&nbsp;Abadeen</h2>

<h2>What: 26 apartments by Carr</h2>

<h2>Where: 616-646 High Street, Prahran</h2>

<p>The Victorian division of Sydney's longtime luxury Lower North Shore development company Abadeen, is continuing its push into Melbourne's owner-occupier market.</p>

<p><a href="/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a>, led locally by former CBRE Director Andrew Leoncelli, is looking to launch its Prahran apartment development, subject to council approval.</p>

<p><img alt="First look: Abadeen lodge plans for second Melbourne apartment development" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-17%20at%2011.05.29%20am.png?VersionId=79fVjZ.l2snAFEPFAw3RuGyQuZFmK7pW" /></p>

<p>Abadeen will be developing a boutique building at 616-646 High Street, on the corner of Airlie Avenue and High Street near Toorak Park and Orrong Romanis Reserve.</p>

<p>They had <a href="/architects/carr-design">Carr</a> design a four-level building that curves around a Smooth Bark Apple tree, immovable as it's listed as a national trust significant tree.</p>

<h2>Who: Salvo</h2>

<h2>What: Moray House, 305 apartments</h2>

<h2>Where: 42 Moray Street and 11-13 Hancock Street, Southbank</h2>

<p>Prominent Melbourne fringe developer <a href="/developers/salvo">Salvo</a> is set to kick off the demolition phase of its recently-unveiled Southbank tower, <a href="/new-apartments/moray-house-42-moray-street-southbank">Moray House</a>.</p>

<p>Rising 56 levels on a prime corner site across 42 Moray Street and 11-13 Hancock Street, Moray House will comprise 305 apartments. More than 240 of the apartments&nbsp;have already been snapped up by a variety of demographics, from parents purchasing apartments for their children, professionals seeking a city base, families moving back to inner Melbourne post-COVID, and investors.</p>

<p>The $200 million project is primarily made up of two and three-bedroom apartments designed by interior designer David Hicks, as well as two double-level penthouses with never-to-be-built-out views. Moray House also comprises eight levels of office space, hi-tech co-working facilities and two floors of residential amenity with wellness and relaxation at its core.</p>

<p><img alt="First look: Salvo set to launch Southbank apartment tower Moray House" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screen%20Shot%202024-05-01%20at%2010.37.30%20am.png?VersionId=LJb_JYW9EVD0758ZDbTu4jdOV640X6Ca" /></p>

<p><a href="/developers/salvo">Salvo</a>&nbsp;Managing Partner James Maitland said&nbsp;<a href="/developers/salvo" target="">Salvo</a>’s&nbsp;Now Generation&nbsp;blueprint underscores the project’s design approach to how people live, work and relax today, based around health and wellness, connectivity, work-life balance, and practical luxuries.</p>

<p>“The pandemic accelerated a shift in the way people live and awareness of the critical role that internal and external environments play in our physical and mental health and wellbeing," Maitland said.</p>

<p>“Traditional apartment living has evolved to vertical communities and urban placemaking where residents can make new social connections in various communal indoor and outdoor spaces. They also expect resort-style amenities and connectivity with their local environment."</p>

<h2>Who:&nbsp;Second Nature Developments</h2>

<h2>What: 21 sustainable apartments and townhouses</h2>

<h2>Where:&nbsp;197-205 St Georges Road, Fitzroy North</h2>

<p>Later this year Fitzroy North will welcome its first fossil-fuel-free apartment development with the recent approval of a boutique mixed-use building on St Georges Road.</p>

<p>Second Nature Developments is behind the unique project that features 21 dwellings and three retail tenancies across a part two-level, part six-level development.</p>

<p><img alt="First look: Approval secured for new fossil fuel-free Fitzroy apartment development" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screen%20Shot%202024-05-22%20at%204.17.25%20am.png?VersionId=Ny54GyIyU8s5nV_Sb298zLnN8ptNcm5X" /></p>

<p>The building will sit across 197-201 and 203-205 St Georges Road, a 989 sqm block near Edinburgh Gardens.</p>

<p>Austin Maynard Architects are behind the designs for the new project which will have 17 apartments two and three-bedroom apartments and four double-storey townhouses to the western side of the building.</p>

<p>Project by Buxton Director Heath Thompson will be marketing the development.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Who: Wickton</h2>

<h2>What: Seven apartments above retail and offices</h2>

<h2>Where: 387-403 Malvern Road, South Yarra</h2>

<p>Property developer <a href="/developers/wickton">Wickton</a> is continuing to move fast in Melbourne's development space.</p>

<p>Wickton, led by Blanco Norton and architect Will Leaf, will be taking to market their mixed-use development in the Hawksburn Village precinct, on the border of South Yarra and Prahran.</p>

<p>Leaf’s architecture practice <a href="/architects/ewert-leaf">Ewert Leaf</a> redesigned the plans to create seven two and three-bedroom luxury apartments above a vibrant ground floor retail with premium hospitality and retail spaces that will anchor three levels of strata offices.</p>

<p><img alt="First look exclusive: Wickton look to South Yarra for latest mixed-use development" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-23%20at%2010.49.55%20am.png?VersionId=vAFBrjQB3nIdlo6ep0roVh2Se0zTQl6L" /></p>

<p>The designs were altered from the previous plans so the floorplates expanded, which meant the apartments sat above the building's large privacy screens and the adjoining buildings so both levels of apartments take in uninterrupted views across Melbourne and back to the city skyline.</p>

<p>Wickton is expecting to start demolition of the bottle shop and adjoining commercial building on the site later this year and start the build in early 2025.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Who: Sun Property Group</h2>

<h2>What: 18 apartments by Cera Stribley</h2>

<p>National apartment developer <a href="/developers/sun-property-group">Sun Property Group</a>&nbsp;(SPG) is continuing its push into Melbourne with their second project in the city's most affluent postcode.</p>

<p>SPG's latest development, on a double block at 226-228 Williams Road in Toorak, will comprise 18 apartments in a three-level building designed by&nbsp;<a href="/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>. There will be a&nbsp;mix of 10 two-bedroom apartments, four three-beds, and four penthouses on offer.</p>

<p>"This intersection seamlessly blends the charm of <a href="/new-apartments/toorak-vic-3142">Toorak</a>’s leafy streets, Prahran’s urban lifestyle, and South Yarra’s cosmopolitan atmosphere," Cera Stribley said in their submissions to the local council.</p>

<p>The new development is around&nbsp;500 metres away from SPG's debut Melbourne development, The Brookville.</p>

<h2>Who: Ondas</h2>

<h2>What: Shoptop development with 16 apartments</h2>

<h2>Where: 3-15 Fitzroy Street, St Kilda</h2>

<p>Billionaire tech entrepreneur Robin Khuda's development arm <a href="/developers/ondas">Ondas</a>&nbsp;will too be planning the launch of their Fitzroy St, St Kilda shoptop development after securing approval earlier this year.</p>

<p>Designed by <a href="/architects/warren-and-mahoney">Warren &amp; Mahony</a>, the $22 million project will encompass 16 apartments, predominantly three-bedders, above 244 sqm of commercial space and 327 sqm of retail space across the four amalgamated sites which will span 3-15 Fitzroy Street, just down the road from Fortis.</p>

<p>In their Urban Context Report submitted to the City of Port Phillip Bay Council, Warren and Mahoney said the apartments are designed as "urban villas".</p>

<p>"The villas are all planned with private open spaces in mind; to host families, friends or colleagues."</p>


The 10 hottest off the plan apartment developments coming to Melbourne in 2024 

<p>Sydney's off the plan apartment market has been buoyant so far in 2024.</p>

<p>The expectation at the start of the year was that there would be a spike in buyer sentiment with more positive news about inflation and interest rates, and buyers would come flooding back into the sector.</p>

<p>It's not quite panned out that way. With a cut likely pushed into 2025 or further, the&nbsp;spike developers and project marketers were forecasting failed to materialize.</p>

<p>That being said, there was plenty of activity in Sydney's off the plan apartment development space, far-reaching across the whole of the city.</p>

<p>Records were broken in Bondi Beach, while huge, suburb-shaping precincts are being delivered by <a href="/developers/sekisui-house-australia?referrer=Sekisui%20House%20Australia">Sekisui House Australia</a> in <a href="/developments/norwest-nsw-2153">Norwest</a> and Deicorp in the Hills District.</p>

<p>Lendlease completed One Sydney Harbour in Barangaroo, home to Australia's most expensive piece of real estate (a $140 million, three-level penthouse). Aqualand also&nbsp;<a href="/news/nsw/aqualand-officially-opens-landmark-north-sydney-apartment-development-aura-by-aqualand">welcomed buyers</a> to its flagship North Sydney apartment development, AURA by Aqualand.</p>

<p><a href="/developers/top-spring-australia">Top Spring Australia</a>, as well as First Quadrant and Qualitas, have enjoyed success at each of their respective multi-stage developments. Top Spring's <a href="/new-apartments/the-newlands-st-leonards-21-41-canberra-avenue-st-leonards">The Newlands</a> continues to break records in <a href="/new-apartments/st-leonards-nsw-2065">St Leonards</a>, while First Quadrant and Qualitas quickly sold out the first stage of their <a href="/new-apartments/willoughby-grounds-5-walter-street-willoughby">Willoughby Grounds</a> project, breaking apartment sale prices for the area in the process.</p>

<p>Developers are now waiting on the weather, preparing their marketing material during winter, waiting to push the go button come September and get their projects in market for the famous spring and summer selling seasons Sydney so famously enjoys.</p>

<p>We've taken a look at the best to come for the rest of 2024.</p>

<h2>Who: DASCO</h2>

<h3>Where: Waterloo&nbsp;</h3>

<h3>What: Mixed-use precinct with 373 apartments and 17 retail spaces</h3>

<p>Builder developer DASCO is looking to launch their recently acquired Waterloo masterplan.</p>

<p><a href="/builders/dasco-australia">DASCO</a>, a 4.5-star iCIRT-rated builder, secured a 1.7-hectare site at 903-921 Bourke Street, a former industrial site on the corner of Bourke, McEvoy and Young streets, from Melbourne developer Dahua earlier this year.</p>

<p>It was sold with&nbsp;development approval for a new mixed-use precinct with around 370 apartments and retail and commercial spaces.</p>

<p><img alt="Exclusive: DASCO secure Waterloo mixed-use development from Dahua Group" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-03%20at%209.02.48%20am.png?VersionId=0oXgeER5QqAkDglZlmWTmfB120pERqTn" /><em>The plans submitted by Dahua Group in 2022</em></p>

<p>The six new buildings, not including the two heritage-listed buildings that will be restored, will be focused around a central plaza with retail space and new parks&nbsp;with lush landscaping and multiple public art installations.</p>

<p>Two buildings will flank Young Street, one being the tallest tower proposed. Described as a stepped tower with family-targeted terraces that address the park, the building will have 147 apartments across its 20 levels.</p>

<p>Next door will be a six-storey plaza building with 23 apartments, defined as "quirky" by Bates Smart, while along Young Street there will be two other buildings, one with 21 apartments and the other with 32 apartments, designed by Richards and Spence who worked in collaboration with Bates Smart on the tower and the plaza.</p>

<p><img alt="Exclusive: DASCO secure Waterloo mixed-use development from Dahua Group" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-02-02_at_8.01.25_am.png" /><em>The plans submitted by Dahua Group in 2022</em></p>

<p>"The quirky 6-storey plaza building defines the heritage square, with clear reference to the industrial brick buildings of the past," the design statement as part of the 2022 development submission noted.</p>

<p>There will be a further two buildings facing Bourke Street, designed by architect MHNDU in collaboration with Fieldwork. They will have a combined 150 apartments, taking the total number of apartments across the precinct to 373 apartments.</p>

<h2>Who: Orosi</h2>

<h3>Where: 1 The Avenue, Rose Bay</h3>

<h3>What: 50 luxury apartments next to Royal Sydney Golf Club</h3>

<p>Eastern Suburbs developer <a href="/developers/orosi">Orosi</a> is taking on its largest project to date, which will also be one of the largest the affluent Rose Bay has seen in years.</p>

<p>The integrated developer, who serves as both the architect and builder of its projects, will be <a href="/new-apartments/orosi-rose-bay-1-the-avenue-rose-bay">launching the new development</a> in the coming months, some 50 two and three-bedroom apartments&nbsp;across a structure that ranges from four to five levels.</p>

<p>There will be 34 two-bedroom apartments and 16 three-bed apartments.</p>

<p><img alt="First look exclusive: Orosi plan Rose Bay shoptop on key gateway site" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202024-06-19%20at%2011.09.02%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=t.b8xaySLGRrwkYlGmrxHdsEI41l7Ub1" /></p>

<p>Orosi,&nbsp;led by Founder and Managing Director Hamid Samavi, secured the vast 3,000 sqm gateway site, a two year-long amalgamation of several lots over The Avenue,&nbsp;<a href="/buildings/dusk-625-627-old-south-head-road-rose-bay">Old South Head Road</a>&nbsp;and William Street, last year.</p>

<p>The building,&nbsp;across the road from the Royal Sydney Golf Club, will be divided into two adjacent, inter-connected buildings to reduce its overall bulk, setting back the development from The Avenue and William Street boundaries.</p>

<p>"The apartments are on the larger side, so they will suit a wide range of demographics, not just downsizers,"&nbsp;Samavi told Urban, adding that&nbsp;the vision is to create an iconic landmark that serves as a welcoming gateway to&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/rose-bay-nsw-2029">Rose Bay</a>.</p>

<p>"OROSI&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/rose-bay-nsw-2029">Rose Bay</a>&nbsp;will set a new benchmark for architecture and sustainability in The Eastern Suburbs, featuring state-of-the-art facilities and curated retail spaces, including a Kosher café, an organic restaurant, and Sydney’s most iconic wellness centre," Samavi said.</p>

<h2><span id="cke_bm_393S" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span>Who: Level 33</h2>

<h3>Where: 19-21 Bourrool Street, Kiama</h3>

<h3>What: 21 luxury three-bedroom apartments&nbsp;</h3>

<p>Prominent Wollongong developer <a href="/developers/level-33">Level 33</a> will be launching its first development in Kiama.&nbsp;</p>

<p>PBD designed the four-level building with just 15 apartments above two levels of basement parking at <a href="/new-apartments/19-21-bourrool-street-kiama">19-21 Bourrool Street</a>, at the south end of the Kiama Surf Beach.</p>

<p>The proposed residential flat building is designed to respond cohesively to the existing and desired future character of the neighbourhood streetscape with appropriate build form and material palette that respond thoughtfully to the immediate context.</p>

<p><img alt="Level 33" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3d2a4a8a-4c84-4ce1-8718-6ad7cc9d9380" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-07-12%20at%201.08.49%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=U_XEy9g2y4nMgaEDvhrlsMFOSimR38hC" /></p>

<p>The 15 three-bedroom apartments are inline with the apartment sizes within the area, architect PBD suggests. They said the proposal reflects current market demands in relation to typologies and living patterns in the local area.</p>

<p>They have another project in Kiama, having acquired the Akuna St car park for $28 million last year. They’re planning a shoptop development with 82 apartments above a retail precinct with 24 tenancies, two major supermarkets, and 344 basement car parking spaces.</p>
