Northland Group’s Central Quarter apartment development, located in the heart of Merrylands, ticks every box that buyers consider when purchasing a brand-new apartment.

CQ, currently under construction on Pitt Street, will comprise 194 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments in the heart of the growing suburb.

<h2>Guaranteed Delivery</h2>

First and foremost is the guarantee of delivery. <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/northland">Northland</a> has only just launched the development, despite being close to topping out the main structure. They progressed well into construction before bringing the project to market, giving buyers confidence that the development is genuinely moving ahead.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5660 project_image_fid=1674]

<h2>Quality Assurance</h2>

The second — and perhaps most important — consideration for new apartment buyers is not just whether the project will be completed, but whether it will be finished to a high standard. Northland Group is the only developer in Merrylands to take out Resilience Insurance’s Latent Defects Insurance, offering buyers protection from any structural or waterproofing issues for 10 years after completion. Northland also has a vastly experienced construction team, having been building across Sydney for the best part of three decades.&nbsp;

<h2>Prime Location</h2>

The third pillar, which is paramount, is location — and how well the apartment fits into a buyer’s lifestyle. It must be well-connected to both transport and local amenities. <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/central-quarter-merrylands-242-252-pitt-street-merrylands-nsw-2160">Central Quarter</a> occupies a prime site on Pitt Street, right next to the Merrylands Bus Interchange and Merrylands Train Station. This offers direct access to Parramatta, just one stop away, and places the CBD within 35 minutes.

<h2>Amenity-Rich Environment</h2>

While the development is already close to everything Merrylands has to offer, Northland Group is adding further value by delivering 22 new retail tenancies at the base of the building and within the commercial podium. Confirmed tenants include a 24/7 gym operator, a provider for a 111-place childcare centre, and major fast-food retailers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5660 project_image_fid=1613]

Residents will also have private access to a rooftop with several breakout spaces, barbecue areas, and a children's playground.

<h2>Thoughtfully Designed Apartments</h2>

With all the above boxes ticked, attention turns to the apartments themselves. Northland has gone above and beyond, offering large floorplans and premium finishes as standard. Kitchens include stone island benches, integrated Smeg appliances (gas cooktop, oven, rangehood, microwave, and dishwasher), and Villeroy &amp; Boch tapware.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5660 project_image_fid=1607]

Even the small details haven’t been overlooked. The integrated VRF air conditioning system allows for zoned temperature control in each room. Furthermore, each Central Quarter balcony will be built with pedestal tiles allowing for seamless indoor/outdoor living.&nbsp;

<h2>A Decade in the Making</h2>

Central Quarter has been over a decade in the making, with Northland Group securing the site back in 2014. Years of careful planning and design have gone into creating a product that truly suits the area.

With completion expected by early to mid-2026 and interest rates forecast to fall further before then, now is arguably the perfect time to secure a new home at this advanced stage of construction.

Why Northland Group’s Central Quarter apartment development ticks every box

High-end retailer Cult Design has signed up to take all of the commercial space, and a large section of the retail space, on the street-level of the upcoming new Fitzroy apartment development, Fitzroy Fitzroy.

Cult Design, which offers&nbsp;premium&nbsp;furniture, lighting and objects from iconic international and local brands, will also furnish the communal areas of the project with Cult’s brands, as well as Cultivate — Cult’s in-house sustainability program that provides buyback, refurbishment, and recycling services — a program that aligns with the project’s efforts to restore and preserve the heritage aspects of the building. Current and future residents will also have the option to purchase a turnkey furnished solution curated by Cult.

Cult has taken&nbsp;the entirety of the project's commercial space, and two of the three retail lots, which will form Cult's new HQ and flagship showroom.&nbsp;

In a further commitment to the building, Cult Design Founder Richard Munao has also bought one of the five terrace homes in the project. DKO’s Director of Interiors &amp; Design Lead for the project, Michael Drescher, has also bought an apartment in the building. The sales highlight the deep alignment between the project’s architectural intent and its growing community of discerning owner-occupiers, including the collaborators themselves.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14394 project_image_fid=183070]

Dean Lefkos, founder and director of Chapter Group which is developing Fitzroy Fitzroy, said the project is unlike any development he’s seen in terms of its buyer community.

“<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/fitzroy-fitzroy-411-421-smith-street-fitzroy-vic-3065">Fitzroy Fitzroy</a> is a true owner-occupier project; we’ve had best friends, siblings and even cousins purchasing homes, which is truly rare in residential projects these days," Lefkos said.

“The architecture and interiors of Fitzroy Fitzroy genuinely reflect the suburb’s character, with thoughtful design that has clearly resonated with purchasers."

Located on Smith Street and designed by DKO Architecture, Fitzroy Fitzroy sits behind a grand heritage brick facade, once home to MacRobertson’s Garage and Workshop, and reaches nine storeys high, complete with angular rooftops and a chamfered western side to create sunlit internal spaces and generous viewlines.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14394 project_image_fid=183066]

Originally launching to market with 56 apartments and six terrace homes, Fitzroy Fitzroy will now be home to 52 apartments and five terrace homes following a number of amalgamations. One such purchaser is Michael Drescher, DKO’s design lead on the project, who purchased a three-bedroom apartment.

“I knew the site well, it’s a pocket of Fitzroy I’ve always admired, but it was through designing the interiors and meeting future residents 
that I knew this was a place we could truly call home,” Drescher said.

“I sensed early on that the building would foster a strong sense of community, and that feeling came to life during one of the purchaser events — everyone had the chance to meet their future neighbours, but it felt more like a gathering of old friends coming together.

“At DKO, we invested considerable time in crafting each floor plan with care. From the outset, we anticipated strong interest from owner-occupiers and particularly those already living in the area. The apartment we purchased was always one of my favourite floor plans in the project."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14394 project_image_fid=1011]

Buyers will have access to resident-only amenities including the Smith Club, with communal bar and dining, private meeting and work-from-home spaces and an expansive, tranquil rooftop garden on level nine, designed by TCL.

Having met with future residents and purchasers, Drescher has developed an understanding of how the residential amenities and rooftop communal spaces will be used and is working with Cult and Chapter Group on furniture selections to suit.

At ground level, an internal laneway connects Smith Street to the residents’ lobby, inspired by the local arcades in Melbourne’s CBD, with Cult’s future corner showroom to be located behind the existing brick facade, with large windows opening onto both Smith Street and Leicester Street.

Limited apartments remain, ranging from $720,000 to over $4 million. Three yet-to-be-released sub-penthouses will launch to market in spring.

It was in 2018 when diversified developer <a data-end="192" data-start="152" rel="noopener" target="_new">Citinova</a> decided to look beyond the Melbourne CBD for their next residential development opportunity.

They were searching for a suburb with little to no new apartment supply—positioning what they would create as a rare opportunity in a location where such offerings had not previously existed.

Their search led them to Greensborough, 17 kilometres northeast of the Melbourne CBD, where it had been years since a new residential development had launched.

Citinova acquired a prime 1,633 sqm site on Poulter Avenue, on the edge of the Greensborough Town Centre and just a stone’s throw from Greensborough Station.

They recently completed Albero, a boutique collection of just 45 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. The final few residences are now selling.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4722 project_image_fid=240437]

Albero stands out thanks to its scale and setting: a mid-rise development nestled among established parklands and within walking distance to the upgraded Greensborough Station, the Main Street retail precinct, and Greensborough Plaza.

Citinova collaborated with Point Architects, InvoDesign, and interiors studio Biasol to deliver Albero, with a design focus inspired by the surrounding natural environment and colour palettes drawn from the Australian bushland.

Apartments feature large balconies, flexible floorplans, and energy-efficient inclusions such as double-glazed windows and rainwater harvesting—elements that align with increasing interest in sustainability.

Shared terraces and upper-level outdoor zones extend the living environment and foster passive interaction between residents, while ground-level landscaping enhances the project’s leafy surroundings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4722 project_image_fid=240438]

Greensborough itself is a well-established suburb, now experiencing renewed interest due to its upgraded infrastructure, abundant green space, and steady demographic growth.

The suburb has been identified as a high-priority precinct by the Victorian Government and is forecast to see a 7% population increase by 2027.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4722 project_image_fid=240441]

Accessibility remains one of Greensborough’s key advantages. Following recent transport upgrades, residents can now walk to the nearby train station and reach Melbourne’s city centre in under 40 minutes. A new pedestrian bridge connects the development to Para Road and the Plenty River Trail, improving walkability and local amenity.

Road connections via Greensborough Road and the Metropolitan Ring Road further enhance mobility to surrounding suburbs, including the airport and inner Melbourne.

The suburb also boasts strong community infrastructure, with multiple schools, healthcare services, and sporting facilities nearby. Public open spaces such as Kalparrin Gardens, Poulter Reserve, and the Plenty River corridor offer a rare mix of urban convenience and natural beauty.

Apartments at Albero are now complete and ready to move in.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/caulfield-north-vic-3161">Caulfield North</a> isn’t short on prestige, but it is short on boutique new apartment developments with spacious floorplans.

Cue LUMA, the newest development by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/skylife-group-pty-ltd">Skylife Group</a>, which offers just nine apartments on Hawthorn Road.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/luma-caulfield-north-226-hawthorn-road-caulfield-north-vic-3161">LUMA</a> occupies a coveted position near Caulfield Park, encircled by Melbourne's finest schools, parks, and culinary destinations. Its low-rise form by Metaxas Architects channels timeless design principles, wrapped in a restrained yet luxurious material palette.

Every residence embraces natural light and outlooks, thanks to expansive glazing and thoughtfully arranged floorplans.

Ranging from 80 sqm to nearly 160 sqm internally, with terraces or balconies extending up to 30 sqm, the homes offer a diversity of configurations, from two-bedroom residences to three-bedroom layouts with up to three bathrooms.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148933 project_image_fid=335511]

The interiors are unified by a calm, light-infused aesthetic. Organic white walls, soft walnut timber joinery, and Aurora Range European Oak flooring are paired with plush carpeted bedrooms, creating a harmonious tactile experience.

The kitchens at LUMA serve both as culinary workspaces and statement design features. Buyers can choose between a lightGlacier Honed or dark Turko Argento natural stone benchtop, with timber-look Polytec Ravine joinery and fluted glass cabinetry providing contrast.&nbsp;

Miele appliances complete the package, tailored to residence size, with premium upgrades for three-bedroom homes including an 80cm induction cooktop and Gen 7000 speed oven.

Bathrooms echo the same sensibility, with natural stone, black EXON fixtures, and frameless glass showers. Select residences offer freestanding baths.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148933 project_image_fid=335513]

Private outdoor spaces, secure parking, and options for EV charging reflect a practical yet elevated lifestyle focus.

As the development progresses toward its late 2026 completion, construction is in the hands of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/rf-construction-management-pty-ltd">RF Construction Management</a>, bringing over 30 years of local high-end building expertise.

LUMA also offers a five per cent deposit structure, allowing buyers time to plan while securing their place in this tightly held precinct.&nbsp;

The timing couldn’t be better for the upcoming launch of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sydney-house-194-204-pitt-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Sydney House</a>, the newest mixed-use tower in the heart of Sydney’s CBD.

Joint venture partners—Singapore-listed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/first-sponsor">First Sponsor</a> and Melbourne-based lifestyle developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/icd-property">ICD Property</a>, chose to bide their time before launching the project, a redevelopment of the landmark City Tattersalls Building on Pitt Street.

They opted to wait until the complex build was well underway, a project that involves retaining the heritage-listed podium while constructing a soaring 55-storey glass tower above.

Their patience, aimed at instilling market confidence in the project’s delivery, has clearly paid off.

According to Charter Keck Cramer's H2 2024 State of the Market Report, the Sydney apartment market faces a significant supply-demand imbalance with continued population growth paired with limited new supply. The report highlights the post-pandemic impact on the apartment supply pipeline, with many planned projects placed on hold or discontinued, due to the broader construction environment.

Sydney House is more than two years into its construction program.&nbsp;Delivery partner <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/richard-crookes-constructions">Richard Crookes Constructions</a> commenced construction in Q1 2022 and is expected to complete in early 2027.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=12428 project_image_fid=312146]

A recent research report published by CBRE in June 2025 suggests that Australia’s population growth is set to experience continued growth of up to 15 per cent by 2030 supporting the requirement for new housing solutions.

The report highlights that the Sydney apartment supply over the next five-year period is forecast at 12,200 dwellings per annum with a demand forecast requirement of 30,000 dwellings. This suggests that demand for new apartments in central Sydney is expected to exceed supply for years to come, poising the market for a period of growth.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=12428 project_image_fid=350621] 
&nbsp; 
SRM Residential Partner and former CBRE Director, Tim Rees says that around 80 per cent of ‘right-sizer’ purchasers seek a property that’s easier to maintain.

"Approximately half see this as part of their retirement plan, and 40 per cent do so as they want the proceeds of their former home for other things," Rees says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=12428 project_image_fid=350623]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sydney-house-194-204-pitt-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Sydney House</a> will comprise 241 premium apartments above a new 135-room boutique hotel.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bvn-architecture" target="">BVN</a>&nbsp;Architecture has led the design of the tower, which will rise above the retained heritage podium. That podium, to be carefully restored by FJC Studio, will house a collection of high-end hospitality venues once complete.

Rees says that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sydney-house-194-204-pitt-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Sydney House</a> will be&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/sydney-nsw" target="">Sydney</a>&nbsp;CBD’s newest icon, blending modern architecture with historic grandeur located in one of the most prestigious enclaves of the CBD.&nbsp;

“Pitt Street is arguably the most significant street in all of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/sydney-nsw" target="">Sydney</a>," Rees says.

"Just a stone’s throw from Circular Quay, The Opera House, Hyde Park and Darling Harbour,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sydney-house-194-204-pitt-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Sydney House</a> offers seamless connection with the CBD and beyond.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/clifton-hill-vic-3068">Clifton Hill</a>'s tightly held property market has seen little new development in recent years, with apartments making up just 25 per cent of the suburb’s housing stock.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/33-queens-parade-clifton-hill-33-queens-parade-clifton-hill-vic-3068">33 Queens Pde</a> stands out as the first major residential project in the region in years.

Situated between two major green spaces, Edinburgh Gardens to the west and Darling Gardens to the east, 33 Queens Pde will introduce 32 residences to the area, including two and three-bedroom apartments, six townhouses, and two luxury penthouses.&nbsp;

The project is being developed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/prime-edition">Prime Edition</a>, a boutique developer with a track record of delivering quality homes in premium Melbourne suburbs, including Toorak, South Yarra, and Surrey Hills.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134228 project_image_fid=322175]

Designed by award-winning architecture firm <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, the development emphasises light-filled, open-plan living spaces.&nbsp;

Floor-to-ceiling windows maximise natural light across all apartments, while each home is designed to connect seamlessly with private outdoor spaces, whether a balcony, courtyard, or rooftop terrace.

Kitchens are fitted with Miele appliances, natural stone benchtops and splashbacks, timber laminate cabinetry, and custom shelving. The master bedrooms feature walk-in robes and en-suites, and additional bedrooms are generously sized with their bathrooms.

Beyond the individual apartments, residents at 33 Queens Pde will have access to a communal landscape with an open-air atrium, along with modern facilities such as rainwater harvesting, smart parcel lockers, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, bike storage with a repair station, and pet-washing facilities.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134228 project_image_fid=305765]

Situated between Edinburgh Gardens and Darling Gardens, residents are also perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of Clifton Hill’s green spaces.

The area is well-served by public transport, with easy access to the tram on Route 86, connecting to key destinations like Fitzroy, Northcote, and the Melbourne CBD. Clifton Hill Station is just 700 meters away, providing a quick commute into the city.

The location also puts residents on Queens Parade, the main retail strip in Clifton Hill, so residents are walking distance to groceries, cafes, restaurants, medical and recreational opportunities. The vibrant café and retail precincts of Smith Street and Brunswick Street are also nearby.

Additionally, the development is conveniently located near educational institutions, with Collingwood College and Fitzroy High School within easy reach.

Demolition of the former commercial building on the prime 1,540 sqm Queens Parade site will commence shortly, with construction starting soon after.

Residential developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/fyve">FYVE</a> is the latest to offer unparalleled confidence to apartment purchasers, securing the sought-after Latent Defects Insurance (LDI) for their new Gosford project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/serenity-by-fyve-54-56-donnison-street-west-gosford-nsw-2250">Serenity by FYVE</a>.

The boutique development, comprising just 34 apartments, is one of only two new projects on the Central Coast to offer LDI, a 10-year insurance policy that protects buyers against defects that may arise post-completion.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=88991 project_image_fid=3250]

FYVE Development Manager Dennis Nie said the decision was about delivering maximum assurance to purchasers.

"We wanted to send a clear message to buyers: we back our ability to deliver quality projects that stand the test of time, and we’re backing that promise with an insurance policy that offers real peace of mind when buying off the plan or new apartments."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=88991 project_image_fid=3252]

According to Nie, early feedback indicates the LDI is strongly resonating with buyers.

"It’s a game-changer for the consumer, and as a developer who takes quality construction seriously, it was an easy decision for us to offer LDI on our Serenity project. Insurers selectively offer LDI to developers and builders that they determine as trustworthy and with the credentials and experience to deliver quality buildings to a standard expected by consumers."

Serenity is currently under construction on Donnison Street, adjacent to Waterview Park and near Brisbane Water. It’s just a seven-minute walk to the Gosford CBD, with Sydney accessible in around an hour by train or car.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=88991 project_image_fid=3247]

To further strengthen buyer confidence, FYVE waited until the project was approximately 70 per cent complete before launching it to market.

"We understand that buying off the plan can be a daunting experience for some purchasers and the best way to allay those concerns is to see progress on site," Nie said. "We’re well advanced in construction, and buyers can already see the building’s facade nearing completion." He added that FYVE’s status as an iCIRT-rated developer supports their strong track record and reputation for delivery.

Looking ahead, FYVE is preparing to bring several new projects to market, turning its attention closer to Sydney with upcoming sites in Miranda, Northbridge and Rose Bay. These new apartments will be tailored to local owner-occupiers and downsizers, highlighting Fyve’s ability to produce quality apartments at all segments of the value spectrum.

In a precinct defined by mid-rise apartments and mixed-use density, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/toga-group">TOGA</a>’s final Marriott Street Terraces offer a housing product increasingly rare in Sydney’s inner-city market - new-build, low-rise terrace homes with private outdoor space, individual street addresses, and secure parking.

The last three terraces within TOGA’s $450 million <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/surry-hills-village-6-14-baptist-street-redfern-nsw-2016">Surry Hills Village</a> masterplan are now complete and represent the final chance to own in what has quickly become to go-to hospitality precinct in the whole of Sydney. All three are three-bedroom, three-bathroom residences with secure basement parking and direct street entry off Marriott Street.

The housing format diverges from the rest of the precinct’s product mix, just under 120 apartments delivered over multiple stages, by targeting downsizers and upsizers seeking house-like proportions without leaving the inner east.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=342094]

Designed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>’s Adam Haddow, the completed terraces reverse the traditional floorplan: bedrooms and landscaped courtyards are positioned on the ground level, while open-plan kitchen and living areas sit above street level.

Each home also includes a landscaped ground-floor courtyard, private outdoor terrace with built-in barbecue, cocktail bar, and statement kitchen with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances.

Marriott St Terrace resident George Robinson, who recently moved into one of the completed homes, says the terrace offered a level of amenity and seclusion rarely found in new inner-city stock.

“It’s the perfect balance between the bustle of the city and the privacy found in Sydney’s inner suburbs," Robinson said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=342096]

Positioned between Surry Hills and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/redfern-nsw-2016">Redfern</a>, the terraces sit just behind Wunderlich Lane, TOGA’s new hospitality and retail precinct anchored by Harris Farm and Olympus Dining, and within walking distance to multiple train stations and Crown Street.

TOGA Executive GM Paul Shaw says the homes have drawn interest from local buyers looking for low-maintenance alternatives to freestanding housing.

With no further residential releases planned in Surry Hills Village, the Marriott Street Terraces represent the final low-rise offering within the precinct. All three are now move-in ready.

Marking another milestone for the $1 billion world-class residential golfing community in the heart of Hunter Valley wine country, Capital Corporation has lodged plans for the Golf Course Clubhouse that is set to become a vibrant hub for Lovedale Farm golfers, guests, and the wider Hunter Valley community.

The DA lodgement follows the success of Lovedale Farm’s first stage release of Designer Homes, with over 70 per cent sold, a combined value of $55 million.

Purchasers so far include a mix of local upgraders, Sydney-based buyers, and golf enthusiasts from Newcastle and the Central Coast.

The 1,200 square metre Clubhouse is designed to match the elevated 18-hole championship golf experience at Lovedale Farm and will include a range of facilities tailored to both golf enthusiasts and lifestyle-focused residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14476 project_image_fid=334207]

Features include a reception lounge, pro-shop, change rooms and lockers, a signature restaurant and bar, an exclusive members’ lounge, and event spaces for weddings, meetings and conferences.

Jim Hunter, Director of Capital Corporation, said the&nbsp;Clubhouse is a cornerstone of our golf course with modern golfing amenities and an exceptional hospitality offering for players and residents.

"The building is designed to complement the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape while offering a premium experience to members and their guests,” Hunter says.

“Lovedale Farm’s residential and tourism precincts have been purposefully designed around the golf course – not the other way around. A clear reflection of our commitment to establishing Australia’s leading lifestyle and golfing destination.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14476 project_image_fid=334205]

Membership of Lovedale Farm Golf Club will provide preferred tee times, access to the members’ lounge, and exclusive discounts on cart hire, food and beverage, and services. Residents of Lovedale Farm will receive additional benefits including waived joining fees and reduced green fees as part of their ownership privileges.

The Lovedale Farm masterplan, developed by award-winning architects Hachem, brings together a considered vision for leisure and community living in Hunter Valley wine country. The Clubhouse sits within the broader vision that includes the championship golf course, a premium resort, a vibrant dining precinct and high-end residential offering.

Capital Corporation has also announced the first release of land, priced from $995,000.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14476 project_image_fid=334206]

This first Lifestyle Land release offers generous blocks ranging from 1,100m² to 3,000m², giving buyers the opportunity to custom-build a home in one of the Hunter Valley’s most sought-after addresses.

“The Lifestyle Land release has been designed to maximise views to the surrounding remnant woodlands,” added Jim Hunter. “These lots offer the perfect mix of luxury and connection to nature.”

Lovedale Farm is expected to deliver approximately 1,250 jobs during construction and inject over $300 million into the local economy. Once complete, the 240-hectare, precinct on Wine Country Drive is projected to contribute $100 million per annum to the Hunter Valley region, further enhancing its reputation as a key tourism and lifestyle destination.

The Lovedale Farm display suite at Hunter Valley Gardens is now open, offering a glimpse into the exceptional lifestyle that awaits future residents and visitors, an experience that’s truly redefining rural luxury.

Lovedale Farm’s first on site display home is scheduled for completion in October 2025. Capital Corporation, renowned for delivering both large scale urban regeneration and greenfield projects was founded over three decades ago. Capital Corporation has delivered close to 2,000 dwellings across Sydney in recent projects at Norwest, Woolooware Bay and Bondi Junction.

For residential developers who continue to innovate and respond to shifting market needs, it's crucial to stay attuned not only to evolving design trends, but also to advances in technology and lifestyle expectations.

Most developers have already adapted to emerging trends within the built environment. The pandemic, for instance, prompted a shift in residential design, with a growing emphasis on flexible spaces such as study nooks, and significantly enhanced resident amenities as more people began spending extended time at home.

Builder-developer GWH has embraced this shift with its upcoming Newcastle landmark, <a href="/new-apartments/one-apartments-newcastle-west-1-national-park-street-newcastle-west">ONE Apartments</a>, set for completion later this year.

Not only has GWH raised the bar in lifestyle amenities—offering rooftop lounges, a heated outdoor pool, gym with steam room, and private cinema facilities—they are also giving buyers the option to enhance their apartments with smart technology upgrades designed to improve comfort, convenience, and energy efficiency.

While each apartment comes fully equipped with fibre-to-the-premises NBN, Pay TV wiring, and wireless access points, buyers can also opt for an upgrade to the Clipsal Wiser™ Smart Home system (or equivalent). This system allows residents to control lighting, climate, and appliances from a single mobile app.

Smart systems like Wiser help save energy by automating tasks such as turning off unused devices, adjusting lighting and climate control based on occupancy or time of day, and opening or closing blinds in response to natural light or weather.

Beyond energy savings, the system is also designed to elevate daily living. Residents can pre-set routines—for instance, activating air conditioning before arriving home, or setting the scene for movie nights or bedtime routines. The system is compatible with voice control and integrates seamlessly with existing Clipsal wiring, providing flexibility for future upgrades as technology evolves or resident needs change.

GWH, Newcastle’s only local builder-developer, is on track to welcome residents to ONE Apartments in early 2026. The development, located on National Park Street, will comprise 193 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments.

Designed by Marchese Partners in collaboration with CKDS, the towers will become the tallest residential buildings in Newcastle West—delivering a new benchmark in apartment living for the region.
