United Development Sydney's Castle Residences stands as one of the CBD's most striking heritage restoration projects.

Castle Residences, high above&nbsp;the bustling intersection of Bathurst and Castlereagh Streets on the fringe of Hyde Park, are located atop the restored 142-year old, heritage-listed Porter House building.

The Porter House building, which has previously served as a tobacco factory and furniture manufacturers, boasts a sandstone facade and arched windows, originally constructed for the Dixson &amp; Sons tobacco company. It stands as a rare, well-preserved example of a commercial building in the city centre, featuring inside details like pressed metal ceilings and an art-deco marble staircase.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7758 project_image_fid=79424]

It now has taken on a new life as the Porter House Hotel, a 122-room hotel with suites, private event and conference rooms, and hospitality venues.&nbsp;

A collaborative effort with the esteemed architects Candalepas Associates and the renowned builder Hutchies, the&nbsp;hotel includes Henry's Bread and Wine on the ground floor and Dixson &amp; Sons restaurant and bar on level one.

The new hotel offers a number of benefits to residents of Castle Residences, located next to and above the hotel. Residents have access to the&nbsp;exclusive Digit Valet—a walking, talking iPad concierge, the only one of its kind in Australia—that enhances the convenience and city living experience for residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7758 project_image_fid=150461]

Residents can tap into the hotel services for a fee, with services ranging from in-residence catering and room service to housekeeping and maintenance, all conveniently managed through the iPad app.&nbsp;

Additional services and facilities such as taxi bookings, restaurant reservations, dry-cleaning, courier services, laundry, and valet parking are also offered.

The hotel facilities include a pool, gym, business centre, and various restaurants and bars.

<a href="/architects/candalepas-associates">Candalepas Associates</a> and&nbsp;<a href="/builders/hutchinson-builders">Hutchies</a>&nbsp;were also in charge of the designs and build for the <a href="/buildings/castle-residences-sydney-116-castlereagh-street-sydney">Castle Residences</a>, 131 apartments ranging from studios to penthouse suites, each embodying Manhattan-style elegance with sculptural cantilevers, alcoves, and honeycomb-like arches.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7758 project_image_fid=150450]

While the architectural design draws inspiration from the site's mercantile history, the upper levels present a breathtaking oasis with Babylon-style hanging gardens on stepped terraces, creating a modern structure that seemingly hovers over the heritage-listed building.

Internally, StudioAria has crafted timeless and contemporary-designed studios, along with one, two, three, and four-bedroom apartments.&nbsp; European oak and pale limestone finish infuse a soft and inviting ambience into every space.&nbsp;

The residences boast sophisticated Miele appliances, Gaggenau entertainer kitchens in select units, and impeccably designed bathrooms.

Castle Residences also serves an integrated D-Mag parking system, offering residents a convenient robot valet service.&nbsp;

Castle Residences: Combining heritage restoration with new technology to redefine Sydney CBD living

The NSW Government has partnered with <a href="/new-apartments/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a> property developer <a href="/developers/billbergia">Billbergia</a> to deliver a housing boost in the up and coming suburb of&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/arncliffe-nsw-2205">Arncliffe</a>.

The new $253 million mixed-use masterplan, <a href="/new-apartments/arncliffe-central-26-eden-street-arncliffe">Arncliffe Central</a>, sits on a 1.34-hectare site at 26 Eden Street, just 11 kilometres south of the Sydney CBD.

The Arncliffe Central neighbourhood will be home to 744 apartments over four residential towers set above a retail podium.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134630 project_image_fid=206232]

The four towers encompass one of 21 storeys, two 20 storeys and one of 17 levels that will house 180 social housing apartments in partnership with Evolve Housing.

“Merging social housing with general residential apartments will encourage engagement between all social strata and foster inclusivity,” <a href="/architects/group-gsa">GroupGSA</a> strategic design lead Lisa-Maree Carrigan said.&nbsp;

The interiors by architects Group GSA feature a natural colour palette inspired by the area’s abundant heritage and the local environment. Homeowners can select from two distinct colour schemes, sand and smoke.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134630 project_image_fid=206222]

The apartments are planned to maximise natural light and space, blending seamlessly with the vast outdoor spaces and embracing natural light and panoramic views.

Double-glazed high thermal performance glass and vertical roll blinds throughout the home will provide quiet comfort and privacy from the outside world.

A practical space for cooking and entertaining, the kitchens are well-appointed with Bosch appliances, including a four-burner cooktop, oven, range hood, microwave, and dishwasher.&nbsp;

The kitchen also features a reconstituted stone benchtop with brushed nickel tapware, tile floors, and hybrid timber flooring, creating a flawless designer kitchen and living space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134630 project_image_fid=207362]

Bedrooms are fitted with a range of thoughtful details including 100 per cent wool textured loop piles and built-in robes with timber-look laminate shelving.

Beautiful, ensuite and family bathrooms are all finished to the highest standards. All bathrooms are outfitted with metal single-lever tapware and are clad in rich reconstituted stone surfaces.

Thoughtful details like the frameless glass shower panel and concealed dual flush cistern toilet suite provide a discreet seamless design.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134630 project_image_fid=207364]

&nbsp;

Each apartment features high-tech security with a video intercom system enabling residents to safely manage visitors. The built-in My Home system also allows direct access to customer service.

Future residents of Billbergia's Arncliffe Central are poised to enjoy a host of amenities and retail options right at their doorstep.

Thoughtfully landscaped with beautiful native plantings, both rooftop gardens and private podium areas will offer various seating options for residents to relax and enjoy panoramic views of Sydney.

There will also be a sprawling 4,000 sqm park and pet-friendly facilities, allowing residents to enjoy the outdoors without having to venture far from home.&nbsp;

Additionally, the development will feature a brand-new community centre and a state-of-the-art childcare facility.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134630 project_image_fid=206234]

The social housing will be positioned above the planned childcare facility. It will overlook a children's play area and public space.

&nbsp;

For those seeking retail therapy or a bite to eat, the retail precinct at Arncliffe Central is set to boast a diverse range of shops, a full-line supermarket, and a collection of restaurants, bars, and cafes.&nbsp;

“There is a huge need for not just housing and social housing in the Arncliffe area, but also retail amenity,” Carrigan added.

As the first master-planned community of its size in the suburb, Arncliffe Central has already made waves since its Stage One launch in October of 2022.

Stage One of Arncliffe Central launched the 19-level tower of 176 apartments featuring 78 one-bed apartments, 74 two-bedders, and 48 three-bedroom apartments, ranging in price from $575,000 to $1.35 million.

Arncliffe Central is likely to attract locals and young families seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle with the convenience of transport, schools, parks and community infrastructure right on their doorstep,&nbsp;Billbergia Sales Director, Lulu Chen said.

"With major growth in the surrounding suburbs of <a href="/new-apartments/wolli-creek-nsw-2205">Wolli Creek</a>, <a href="/new-apartments/mascot-nsw-2020">Mascot</a> and <a href="/new-apartments/rockdale-nsw-2216">Rockdale</a>, Arncliffe is emerging as Sydney’s newest hotspot and, until now, has been previously overlooked for development opportunities."

Arncliffe Central will sit right next to the International Airport. Construction is due for completion in late 2025.

Malvern's latest apartment development, Plant Street, has some of the biggest names in the off the plan development industry behind it.

The boutique project of just 21 apartments near <a href="/developments/malvern-vic-3144">Malvern</a> and Glenferrrie roads is being developed by forward-thinking, off the plan development specialists Milieu, who have a long reputation of creating design-driven projects across Melbourne since 2010.

They're developing the project in partnership with development partner Penfold and financier giant Maxcap, creating an enviable trio who have significant experience in crafting quality projects.

The years of development experience doesn't stop there. They've had the cool local architecture studio RITZ&amp;GHOUGASSIAN champion the striking building's design.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139856 project_image_fid=217344]

A development characterised by a balance of solid architectural elements and greenery, Plant Street features bush-hammered concrete panels and smooth slab edges, creating depth and variety.

Interior design practice Georgina Jeffries has handled the interiors of the one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments,&nbsp;focus on nurturing, light-filled spaces with a material palette of honey timber joinery, brown ash brick, terrazzo, and natural stone.

Custom-made lighting by Volker Haug Studio complements the design, reflecting a refined approach that values local craftsmanship and lasting comfort.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139856 project_image_fid=217347]

Every space in the home features a natural stone and warm neutral palette, from the modern, sleek integrated galley kitchen with a large island-breakfast bar to the open-plan living and dining areas with wooden and textured furniture facing borderless floor-to-ceiling glazing that seamlessly connects the indoors with the outdoors.

The bedrooms are simple and well-proportioned, exuding a sense of calm and retreat with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the rich landscaping outside.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139856 project_image_fid=217346]

The bathrooms are minimalist and practical, featuring his and her vanity with long, wood-framed mirrors, floating cabinets, and silver tapware.

The building is enveloped in landscaping by the renowned landscape architecture firm Acre. An&nbsp;internal open-air atrium softens the structure and blending architecture, interiors, and the neighbourhood. The greenery includes a dynamic mix of deciduous plants and trees that change with the seasons.

Ground-floor apartments boast well-landscaped gardens, while upper-level dwellings feature planters and creepers on their terraces.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139856 project_image_fid=217345]

Progressive, sustainable design is also central to the development. Plant Street combines enduring materials with thoughtful architecture and adaptable interiors, incorporating cross-flow ventilation, solar power, carbon-neutral energy supplies, and EV charging stations. The property is designed to favour passive design principles, reducing dependence on artificial heating and cooling and collectively minimising each resident's environmental impact over the long term.

Milieu has appointed Manresa Construction as the builder for Plant Street by Milieu. The construction will be commencing soon and is expected to be complete in mid-2025.

For the past 14 years, Milieu has primarily focused its efforts in Melbourne's cooler northern suburbs, such as Brunswick East and Collingwood.

<a href="/developers/greenland-australia">Greenland Australia</a>&nbsp;has said it has been fully cooperative with the Building Commission NSW following their decision to serve them with a Draft Work Rectification Order at its North Ryde apartment development,&nbsp;<a href="/buildings/nbh-at-lachlan-s-line-25-27-epping-road-macquarie-park">NBH</a>.

There are six buildings in the NBH Lachlan's Line complex, which were completed in 2020 by GN Residential Construction Pty Ltd. There's over 880 apartments in the buildings.

"Greenland can confirm it received a Draft Work Rectification Order (Draft BWRO) from the Building Commission NSW (the Commission), at the end of October 2023, to which it promptly responded. Greenland has been fully cooperating with the Commission following the issue of the Draft BWRO," a statement from Greenland read.

"Greenland engaged multiple suitably qualified engineering consultants to undertake investigations in accordance with the requests of the Commission, within the Draft BWRO. Their initial investigations have identified the BWRO issues are localised in the lower car park levels only and that there is no risk of collapse of the building’s towers. There is no serious damage or serious structural defects at the project, as some media outlets have claimed."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5788 project_image_fid=95907]

Greenland says since then they have undertaken additional investigations.

"Recommendations were made by the external engineering consultants to undertake localised repairs, to ensure the long-term durability and structural integrity of building’s concrete slabs and joints, as identified in the Draft BWRO.

"Greenland has been following all directions made by the Commission and its specialist consultants and remains fully committed to working closely with the Commission to satisfactorily resolve the situation."

Greenland has confirmed that no other buildings that it has developed are impacted by this issue.

Faro, the luxury Broadbeach apartment development by joint venture partners Bottega and 5Point, has secured $15 million worth of sales just a week into its launch.

The four sales were snapped up by both local and interstate buyers.

The $80 million <a href="/new-apartments/faro-broadbeach-123-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach">Faro</a> sits on a prime site of 123 Old Burleigh Road, a site which was previously secured by <a href="/developers/bottega-property-group">Bottega Group</a> in 2020.

Faro will rise 21 levels to deliver 11 full-floor apartments, three two-level, sub-penthouses, and a single three-level penthouse

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31666 project_image_fid=246693]

Each of the full-floor apartments will feature three bedrooms, each with ocean views, three bathrooms, and open-plan living areas that are enhanced by a large ocean-facing balcony.

The penthouse and sub-penthouses each will comprise five bedrooms and five bathrooms, offering spacious living areas that include a separate dining area and home cinema.

The guest’s suite is located on the first level, while the second level will host four bedrooms plus home office, including the expansive ocean-facing master bedroom with its own balcony positioned to take in spectacular coastal views.

The penthouse will be complemented by its own rooftop entertainment area with a private swimming pool, sundeck, outdoor kitchen, dining area and lounge. All three levels of the penthouse are serviced by a private internal lift.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31666 project_image_fid=246697]

Director of Pezet Matheson, Todd Matheson, says that both local and interstate buyers have been driving the demand of Faro.

“The enquires we’ve had to date all commonly recognised the central location and accessibility to the beach and <a href="/new-apartments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> Centre, along with the understated luxury level of finish," Matheson says.

5Point has again sought the services of award-winning architectural design firm, Plus Architecture stating, “Faro has been reimagined to provide a refined collection of premium residences that appeal to a discerning market, and that’s being reflected in the great interest we’ve seen from buyers wanting to secure their spot in this project”.

Locals of Lake Cathie, the small waterfront town on the Mid North Coast, are expected to jump at the opportunity to secure an apartment in&nbsp;The Pacific at Catarina Beachfront Estate.

There's been no opportunity previously to buy brand new in the suburb.&nbsp;In fact of the 2,000 dwellings in Lake Cathie, only 60 are apartments, according to CoreLogic data.

The majority of the buyers are expected to be downsizers, given over 50 per cent of the popular are over 55, and the majority of those over 70, the latest ABS Census Data shows.

Developer Justice Fox Property Group recently released the project, near Middle Rock Beach, to the market. It comprises just 41 two and three-bedroom apartments including four penthouses.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141793 project_image_fid=220420]

The Pacific is the first release at Catarina Estate – the foundation of what will become a vibrant beachside community.

The Pacific responds to its unique location in one of Lake Cathie's relatively untouched enclaves with a design that is meticulous, considered and engaging.

The architects ELK Architecture have embraced light and the ocean as design elements, interpreting its many moods as the seasons change.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141793 project_image_fid=220425]

The kitchens feature 40mm stone benchtops and Travertine tiles, while the bathrooms and ensuites feature premium fittings and free-standing tubs. Every apartment opens to expansive outdoor terraces.

"The Pacific’s residences, and indeed the entire Catarina Estate, are designed for their owners to extract the very essence of beauty from this remarkable part of the NSW Central North Coastline," ELK Architecture Director Daniel Hadley says.

"Our goal was to intrinsically link the flow and curve of the built form to the natural."

The sprawling penthouses range in size up to 339 sqm of internal and external living spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141793 project_image_fid=232539]

The Pacific is the most prominent of the 16 buildings planned for Catarina Estate.

There's a future retail precinct planned with cafes, shops, and hospitality venues, as well as conference facilities, a function centre, a pub and a gym.

Lake Cathie is located on the Mid North Coast, around 15-minutes from Port Macquarie.

Developer Justice Fox Property Group have extensive experience developing by the water. They've previously completed projects in Eden on the NSW South Coast and Gerroa near Kiama.

Why Lake Cathie The Pacific presents the first opportunity to downsize in the suburb

Blacktown is set to receive one of its most well price pointed, visually striking apartment developments to date with DARA, a contemporary five-level building in the heart of the central Western Sydney suburb.

Builder Sitecorp has already started construction on the collection of just 67 apartments, which are slated for completion in early 2025.

Every one, two and three-bedroom apartment ticks the&nbsp;box for $0 stamp duty, with every two and three-bedroom unit falling under the NSW Government's $800k stamp duty concession threshold.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142774 project_image_fid=234287]

There's also the $10,000 NSW First Home Owner&nbsp;Grant for apartments up to $600,000, which captures a number of the entry-level two-bedroom apartments in DARA. The developer has also teamed up with Coposit for their $10k deposit scheme, where a buyer pays a $10,000 deposit before paying down the rest of the deposit in instalments.

The prices at DARA come in well below other comparable new developments in the nearby Merrylands and Auburn areas.

While mostly targeting owner-occupiers, astute investors are likely to be looking at the apartments given the low entry point and the likelihood of around five per cent yields, as well as strong depreciation allowances.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142774 project_image_fid=234289]

Investors will too be looking at the 56 per cent population increase forecasted by the Blacktown City Council between now and 2041. Blacktown will act as the central hub to the population boom, which will see residents in the local government area jump from just under 400,000 to over 625,000.

Architecturally designed by Urban Link, the apartments feature spacious living areas designed to maximise natural light.&nbsp;The kitchens are designed with a focus on functionality and modern simplicity and are equipped with quality integrated appliances.

The garden apartments feature expansive private courtyards.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142774 project_image_fid=240593]

Residents will have access to the shared rooftop which has been designed for activities from yoga to sunset gatherings with panoramic views over the city.

DARA is ideally located across the road from Blacktown Showground and 100 metres from Blacktown Train Station and Westpoint Shopping Centre.

Lewis Land has unveiled images of the Gold Coast’s newest and most sustainable masterplanned community, <a href="/new-apartments/harbour-shores-biggera-waters-564-oxley-drive-biggera-waters">Harbour Shores</a>&nbsp;in Biggera Waters, ahead of its formal launch in early 2024.

Boasting a 6 Star Green Star Communities V1.1 rating – the highest ever achieved on the Gold Coast – <a href="/new-apartments/harbour-shores-biggera-waters-564-oxley-drive-biggera-waters">Harbour Shores</a> will deliver more than 2,000 homes over the next 10 years.

&nbsp;

Lewis Land Chief Executive Officer, Brett Draffen, said <a href="/new-apartments/harbour-shores-biggera-waters-564-oxley-drive-biggera-waters">Harbour Shores</a> represents the largest and most dynamic community development in the group’s 65-year history.

“Lewis Land has built a trusted history of delivering exceptional communities,” Draffen said.

“In March we will launch the first residential releases at Harbour Shores, including a collection of waterfront villa residences, two mid-rise residential apartment buildings, and the large community park.

“Registrations of interest opened this week to enable our team to work through the large volume of enquiries and share more of our vision for this landmark precinct.”

&nbsp;

Draffen said <a href="/new-apartments/harbour-shores-biggera-waters-564-oxley-drive-biggera-waters">Harbour Shores</a> has been designed as a ‘village of villages’, where neighbourhoods are connected by extensive landscaping, green spaces and pedestrian networks, including a 1.2-kilometre 
boardwalk along the canal front.

“More than 200,000 new native and tropical plants will immerse the residential spaces in nature, alongside a high level of resort-style amenity,” he said.

“The design approach also includes a significant focus on architecture and diverse housing typologies that embrace the Gold Coast’s enviable climate.”

Lewis Land is one of the northern Gold Coast’s most prolific developers, pioneering the creation of the Sovereign Islands, Ephraim Island, Paradise Point Keys, Huntington Harbour and Harbour Town, 
redefining luxury, lifestyle and destination retail.

Draffen said the 16-hectare <a href="/new-apartments/harbour-shores-biggera-waters-564-oxley-drive-biggera-waters">Harbour Shores</a> site, located directly opposite Harbour Town, was one of the last remaining large-scale, greenfield waterfront development sites on the Gold Coast.

“Harbour Shores will proudly deliver under the Gold Coast City Plan by creating a new urban neighbourhood close to major employment hubs, health and retail infrastructure, recreation facilities and transport, including the proposed light rail,” he said.

“The community will be entirely fossil fuel free and over 80% of construction waste will be reused or recycled.”

Upon completion, Harbour Shores will deliver more than 2,000 dwellings, communal open spaces and parklands, a waterfront boardwalk, private marina berths, retail and commercial spaces, and a range of resident amenities including resort-style pools, sauna, clubhouse and tennis court.
