The introduction of a new apartment style by Sekisui House Australia at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/zeste-at-the-orchards-norwest-104-fairway-drive-norwest-nsw-2153">Zeste</a>, the final stage of its $1 billion Norwest masterplan The Orchards, has fuelled buyer demand, particularly from the local downsizer.

The new product&nbsp;offering, Breezeway Sky Homes, accounted for 40 per cent of the 25 sales achieved at the launch of Zeste's first building, Essence, which makes up 135 of the 209 apartments in Zeste. Around 90 per cent of purchasers were local owner-occupiers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150510 project_image_fid=351878]

David Lee, Sales Manager at Sekisui House Australia, said the new Breezeway Sky Homes had proven the standout performer.

“These residences introduce cross ventilation, north south orientation, butler’s pantries and private courtyard entries that make apartment living feel like a genuine home," Lee says.

“Purchasers are choosing Norwest over other suburbs such as Hills Showground, Tallawong and Macquarie Park due to the limited supply. Zeste is also the final stage of The Orchards masterplan, where all community amenities will be fully completed, making it a functioning neighbourhood from day one.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150510 project_image_fid=352090]

Lee noted that while the expanded federal government’s Home Guarantee Scheme had encouraged more first home buyers to enquire, the majority of purchasers were local homeowners taking advantage of the final opportunity to secure an address within The Orchards.

“Zeste represents the culmination of Sekisui House Australia’s decade long vision for The Orchards, creating a neighbourhood defined by community, sustainability and design excellence. With Zeste, that vision comes full circle."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150510 project_image_fid=351876]

Designed by Rothelowman, each residence integrates natural light and greenery, reflecting Sekisui House’s global philosophy of creating harmony between people, homes and nature.

“Zeste’s apartments are on average 20 per cent larger than previous stages, with generous internal areas tailored for owner occupiers,"&nbsp;Lee added.

"Buyers have also responded positively to the premium upgrade options and the project’s independent 4 Gold Star iCIRT rating, which reinforces confidence in quality and delivery."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150510 project_image_fid=352091]

Castle Hill retirees Aswin and Dilu purchased a three-bedroom Breezeway Sky Home in Zeste.

“We have lived in the Castle Hill area for over 15 years in a large five-bedroom home and wanted something smaller but not too small," Ashwin said.

"The moment we walked into the showroom and saw the vision for Zeste we were sold. Our apartment is over 200 square metres so there is plenty of space. The layout, light timber finishes, Japanese craftmanship, balcony overlooking a landscaped courtyard and concierge were standout features. Proximity to friends, shops, restaurants, Sydney Olympic Park, walk and cycle paths and the new Metro made out decision very easy."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150510 project_image_fid=352096]

Sales so far have ranged from $735,000 to $2.2 million, with purchasers responding to the combination of large floorplans, refined finishes, and access to resort-style amenity within the masterplanned community.

Construction of Zeste will commence in early 2026, with completion anticipated in early 2028.&nbsp;

To date, more than 860 apartments have been sold across The Orchards, equating to over 65 per cent of the entire masterplan, marking the end of an era for The Orchards, an innovative project 10 years in the making.

Set on a nature site with a creek and cycle/walkways, The Orchards will feature recreational amenities including a 1.4-hectare public park, an outdoor cinema, onsite café, playgrounds, break-out green spaces, lagoon pool and large fitness centre.

Local owner-occupiers drive sales at Zeste, Norwest

Within a few weeks of unveiling its newest Sydney apartment development The Rushcutters, developer Third.i, and joint venture partner NPACT, have sold out all of the two-bedroom apartments in the boutique building.

Over 200 guests attended an exclusive VIP evening, followed by a bustling weekend at the display suite in Potts Point. More than 50 groups toured the suite, resulting in multiple deposits.

Two-bedroom apartments have sold out, and the remaining three-bedroom residences are available from $4.95 million.

The Rubinstein Group’s James Nixon and Christian Jones are the local agents appointed to sell <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-rushcutters-51-57-bayswater-road-rushcutters-bay-nsw-2011">The Rushcutters</a>, alongside Hume Residential. JLL’s Freya Watson, Harri Williams-Jones and Patrick Yi are the listed international agent for The Rushcutters.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144646 project_image_fid=354308]

The Rushcutters is redefining luxury apartment living by offering the unique opportunity to combine two apartments into a single, expansive whole-floor residence. This delivers the ultimate in harbourside luxury, with generous living spaces, curated finishes, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Due to strict planning controls, only one level is available for amalgamation, making it a truly one-off chance for those seeking an inner-city, house-sized apartment.

Luke Berry, Director and Co-founder of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/thirdi-group">Thirdi Group</a>, said the feedback from buyers has been "overwhelmingly positive", with many drawn to the flexibility and lifestyle that whole-floor living provides

“We’ve always believed there was a real appetite for large, luxury apartments in this part of Sydney, but the response to The Rushcutters has been incredible," Berry said.

“People are looking for something special space, quality, and a sense of home, all in a location that’s second to none. We’re proud to offer a project that delivers on all fronts."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144646 project_image_fid=351899]

Designed by renowned architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>, The Rushcutters blends contemporary elegance with timeless materials.

Each residence features expansive living areas, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and high-end finishes that reflect a commitment to quality and detail. Residents will also enjoy secure parking, private outdoor terraces, and seamless connectivity to Sydney’s CBD, parks, and waterfront.

The project’s location in Rushcutters Bay places it within easy reach of the city’s best dining, shopping, and recreational amenities, but is far enough removed to not be in the heart of the urban bustle.

Buyers jump at The Rushcutters launch

Design-led property developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/orchard-piper">Orchard Piper</a> has achieved $125 million in sales prior to publicly launching its latest Toorak Village development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/one-toorak-place-7-19-carters-avenue-toorak-vic-3142">One Toorak Place</a>, to market.

The milestone was reached with the sale of a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom apartment to a Toorak local for $13.75 million, achieving per square metre rates of $37,000.

Another notable recent transaction is the sale of a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom residence to Toorak local Paul Rosen for $12.65 million in July representing a square meter rate of $43,174.&nbsp;

In May, the development made history with the record-breaking penthouse sale of more than $20 million, to Group CEO at Accent Group Limited Daniel Agostinelli and his wife Lynette.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140659 project_image_fid=352237]

Orchard Piper Director Luke McKie said the record breaking achievement and sales success reflects the demand for thoughtfully designed, luxury residences and the unique lifestyle proposition of a serviced residential building that offers the scale of a home, but with added lifestyle benefits, high security and amenity.

“The early purchasers of this project are very familiar faces to Orchard Piper. Many of them are Toorak locals who have waited years for the right project to buy into. They understand how rare this offering is, and trust us to deliver them an outstanding property.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140659 project_image_fid=352236]

Developed in collaboration with joint venture partner NPACT (a partnership between James Packer’s family office and Todd Nisbet), One Toorak Place introduces a new model of hotel-style residential living to the suburb.&nbsp;

Located at 7-11A and 17-19 Carters Avenue, the development includes a collection of two-, three-, and four-bedroom residences and penthouses, boutique commercial suites, curated retail and an integrated hospitality precinct by acclaimed restaurateur Chris Lucas.

Delivered in his signature style, the precinct will be curated to reflect the spirit of the neighbourhood and the lifestyle of its residents. Lucas will also design a suite of bespoke services for residents of the building, including in-residence private dining, cellar concierge services and priority access to all Chris Lucas restaurants.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140659 project_image_fid=352238]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/kerry-hill-architects">KHA (Kerry Hill Architects)</a>, residents will enjoy access to hotel-style five-star services and amenities, including concierge, a 25-metre lap pool, full-service gym, sauna, steam room, and hot and cold therapies. Also included are a dedicated resident lounge, resident meeting room, a golf simulator, and practical facilities such as dog-wash and car-wash bays.&nbsp;

One Toorak Place is Toorak’s largest planning approval to date, occupying the 3,589 sqm former Mercedes-Benz Toorak site. With a total of 5,000 sqm of premium land under development across two projects in Toorak Village, Orchard Piper’s contribution to the precinct is set to surpass $550 million in value, reinforcing its long-term commitment to design-led renewal in the area.&nbsp;

Construction on One Toorak Place is expected to commence towards the end of 2025.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=140659]

The development is now over 30 per cent sold by value in under three months, with significant sales including a record-breaking $20 million penthouse, and two four-bedroom apartments for $13.75 million and $12.65 million. 

Orchard Piper achieves $125 million in pre-launch sales at Packer-backed Toorak Village development

Builder-developer ALAND has had buyers jump at the opportunity to buy into their first inner-city Sydney apartment development.

Over $103 million in sales were achieved at the launch of The Walden, North Sydney's newest apartment tower. The sales equated to around 55 per cent of the first release of residences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134323 project_image_fid=6382]

Located at 177 Walker Street, North Sydney, The Walden boasts a front-row position on the eastern fringe of the North Sydney CBD, offering uninterrupted Sydney Harbour views stretching from the Sydney Harbour Bridge all the way to Sydney Heads.

The harbour views, not to mention North Sydney’s relatively limited housing supply compared to other North Shore suburbs, as well as high demand from a wealthy downsizer demographic and a growing population, is driving the strong demand and premium prices commanded in the area.

The harbourside suburb also continues to benefit from significant government and private sector investment, which is changing the face of North Sydney as it transitions to an 18-hour a day living, dining and recreation hotspot, with more spending set to come over the next decade.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134323 project_image_fid=6395]

ALAND Founder Andrew Hrsto says North Sydney has fast become a sought-after destination for discerning property buyers.

“It’s clear that North Sydney’s changing rapidly, and property buyers are excited both by what’s on offer in 
the suburb now, as well as what’s yet to come,” Hrsto says.

“Against this backdrop, The Walden is set to become a benchmark for luxury living in North Sydney, and it’s perfectly poised for buyers to capitalise on the continued growth and transformation in the local area."

Hrsto says with&nbsp;its unrivalled amenities, refined design, and rare balance of sophistication and community connection, The Walden delivers a lifestyle unlike anything else on the market.

Residents will enjoy access to a comprehensive suite of facilities, including a fully equipped gym, wellness and treatment room, spa, wine cellar, resident lounge, private dining room, pool, dedicated work-from-home and meeting spaces, as well as the convenience of a dedicated concierge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134323 project_image_fid=6394]

Ben Stewart, Partner at SRM Residential, which is overseeing sales at The Walden, says North Sydney offers the perfect balance of city convenience and lifestyle appeal for prospective buyers.

“Apartment sales in North Sydney have remained robust throughout 2025, and today’s opening sales at The Walden reflect strong buyer confidence in the area’s ongoing revitalisation,” said Stewart.

“All the purchasers I spoke to are appreciating the unparalleled amenity and expansive apartments, coupled with North Sydney’s connectivity through the Metro with Barangaroo accessible in three minutes and Martin Place in five – all these factors are key drivers for a purchaser demographic that includes lower North Shore owner-occupiers and downsizers, plus a few city-based, high-end investors."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134323 project_image_fid=6399]

Stewart says the views, design, and sizing of the apartments at The Walden, is a level&nbsp;above the majority of other projects on the market.&nbsp;

"We’re seeing buyers prioritise well-designed apartments that offer both lifestyle appeal and long-term investment potential. ALAND’s 23 years of delivery success, backed its Gold Star iCIRT rating and Latent Defect Insurance (LDI) have been embraced by this market.”

ALAND will commence construction of The Walden in early 2026, ahead of planned completion by 2028.

ALAND's sales success at The Walden, North Sydney launch

Gold Coast developer Drew Group is fast approaching sell-out at its Main Beach apartment development, Lagoon Main Beach.

In the last nine months, Drew Group and sales partner Pezet Matheson have secured 31 sales totalling over $75 million, as the two-tower development advances towards completion under the expert eye of Hutchinson Builders.

“Today's buyers are more discerning than ever," Drew Group Managing Director Jon Drew says.

"It's essential to provide something truly unique that sets a development apart, and we believe Lagoon has achieved just that."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=193023]

Just over 50 per cent of recent&nbsp;sales have been to local buyers, reflecting the deep trust and connection within the Gold Coast community that Drew Group has developed over the years.

Demand has been particularly robust at the top end, with two of the three exclusive penthouses already sold, alongside five sub-penthouses. Only seven apartments remain in Lagoon's Signature Series — one&nbsp;penthouse and six sub-penthouses.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=284864]

Drew Group has also removed the much-maligned sunset clause from all contracts at Lagoon. The sunset clause — although rarely invoked, yet on occasion known to have been — allows developers to take back contracts on apartments should the building not be completed within the timeframe specified in the contract.

Pezet Matheson Co-Director Jayde Pezet says the fact Lagoon is&nbsp;within a year of completion, and has no sunset clause in contracts, provides certainty to buyers.

"This is paramount in the current market," Pezet says.

Drew Group has committed to providing the highest level of security inclusions — none more impressive than the Ubiquity Access Control System, a cutting-edge facial recognition technology that is one of the most state-of-the-art keyless entry systems on the market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=190743]

One of the biggest drawcards to Lagoon has been the size of the apartments.

"It is unlikely that any future new development in Main Beach will be able to offer such spacious living at this price point," Drew says.

"Today's buyers are more discerning than ever, carefully evaluating amenities like gyms, spas, workspaces, and beach lockers, along with quality finishes. It's essential to provide something truly unique that sets a development apart, and we believe Lagoon has achieved just that."

Lagoon is set to complete construction in mid-2026.

Lagoon Main Beach approaches sell-out as local buyers drive $75m in sales

Leading Gold Coast developer Sherpa Property Group has sold all of the 35 apartments in their coastal Palm Beach apartment development, Perspective Nexus, ahead of its September completion.

“To have now sold-out of Perspective Nexus before completion is just a fantastic result,” said Christie Leet, Founder of Sherpa Property Group.&nbsp;

“The sales have largely been driven by local downsizers, many live in Palm Beach already, who have been captivated by the beach lifestyle that Nexus will offer.

“We started designing this project in 2023, and to be just months out of from completion with all residences now sold is truly rewarding, and a testament to the hard work our team have put in, but the journey doesn’t finish here.”&nbsp;

Sherpa will be servicing the residents beyond settlement including managing any rentals.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=250149]

"We have also hired a full-time concierge service who will assist with the move in process to show residents how to use their appliances, have someone set up their flat packs or run to Bunnings – whatever we can do to make the move-in that bit easier," Leet added.

Located at 949-953 Gold Coast Highway, Palm Beach, Perspective Nexus will deliver a collection of 35 apartments, including two half-floor penthouses, and three two-storey sky homes, with those on the upper levels capturing&nbsp;views of Currumbin Alley to the Pacific Ocean.

Residents at Perspective Nexus will enjoy exclusive access to a suite of resort-style amenities, including a wellness centre with magnesium spa, sauna and steam room, as well as pool, outdoor BBQ area, and alfresco dining area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=245951]

“Palm Beach really means a lot to us at Sherpa. It’s a special place, and we’re proud to be contributing to its next chapter,” Leet said.

“We’ve put a lot of thought into creating something that fits the area and enhances the lifestyle locals already love."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=250148]

Perspective Nexus marks the latest success in Sherpa’s ‘Perspective’ portfolio, following the strong momentum at Perspective Helm on Chevron Island, which is now 90% sold.&nbsp;

The record-breaking $10 million sale of Penthouse 10 at Helm earlier this year has reinforced Sherpa’s position as a leading creator of premium, owner-occupier residences across the Gold Coast.&nbsp;

With construction on track for completion in September by LPS Group, Perspective Nexus is set to become Palm Beach’s most exclusive new address.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=108324]

Sherpa sells out Perspective Nexus, Palm Beach apartment development

In most Australian suburbs where houses outnumber apartments, it's the standalone homes that typically command the highest prices. But Brunswick has bucked that trend, thanks to respected developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a>.

The developer has shattered the local price record with the $4.4 million sale of an apartment in its Prince &amp; Parade project opposite Princes Park.

The 216 sqm residence now holds the suburb’s top sale price, comfortably surpassing the previous benchmark: a restored five-bedroom Victorian mansion from the 1880s, which sold for $4.15 million in late 2024.

Mirvac’s General Manager of Residential Development VIC, Elysa Anderson, said breaking the price record in Brunswick reflects both the exceptional work of the Mirvac Design team in collaboration with Bates Smart—especially their floorplan configurations and finishes—and Mirvac’s strong reputation in delivering high-quality residential communities across the country.

“We’re incredibly proud to see Prince &amp; Parade set a new benchmark for Brunswick,” Anderson said.

“This record-breaking sale is a testament to Mirvac’s commitment to design excellence, quality craftsmanship, and sustainable living. We look forward to welcoming residents in 2026 and seeing this vibrant community come to life.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4802 project_image_fid=217134]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/prince-parade-by-mirvac-brunswick-701-park-street-brunswick-vic-3056">Prince &amp; Parade</a> has been designed in collaboration with <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/bates-smart">Bates Smart</a>, marking the third time Mirvac has partnered with the acclaimed architecture firm on a parkside development in Melbourne. Their previous collaborations delivered two of the city’s landmark apartment buildings: The Melburnian on Queen Victoria Gardens and The Eastbourne on Fitzroy Gardens.

The all-electric building offers a total of 169 one- to four-bedroom apartments across two buildings, rising five levels on Park Street and up to nine levels on Brunswick Road.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4802 project_image_fid=217119]

Residents will enjoy access to a rooftop terrace with views of Princes Park and the city skyline, a wellness centre with a gym and yoga studio, and private landscaped courtyards designed by landscape architect Jack Merlo to foster community.

Additional amenities include a residents' library and dining room, electronic parcel lockers, and refrigerated delivery storage in the lobby, managed by a dedicated building manager.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4802 project_image_fid=321933]

There will also be a ground-floor café and retail spaces, offering ultimate convenience for future residents.

Located just four kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD and a short walk to Melbourne University, Royal Melbourne Hospital, and RMIT, the development has attracted particular interest from medical professionals and academics.

Exclusive: Mirvac breaks Brunswick record with Prince & Parade sale

South East Queensland builder-developer Mosaic is continuing its dominance in the new development space.

Before even releasing their new Kangaroo Point development, <a href="/new-apartments/the-carter-by-mosaic-77-linton-street-kangaroo-point-qld-4169">The Carter</a>, to the open market, they've sold 85 per cent of the 125 two- and three-bedroom apartments.

Interest has come primarily from Mosaic’s existing customer base, with the majority of sales attributed to returning buyers and direct referrals. Purchasers include a balanced mix of investors and a strong majority of owner-occupiers.

The Carter, on a prime 2,124 sqm site on Linton Street, has been designed in collaboration with BDA Architecture and includes a suite of wellness and lifestyle amenities across its 22 levels including a golf simulator/cinema, commercial-grade gym, and a rooftop recreation level with pool, steam room, sauna, cold plunge, teppanyaki bar, private dining space, and landscaped terraces.

The Carter follows Mosaic's debut Kangaroo Point development, The Bedford by Mosaic, which is also nearly sold out and well under construction. Due to the speed of sales, construction has been brought forward on The Carter, also to be built by&nbsp;Mosaic’s internal, ISO-certified building team. Completion is forecast for early 2027.

<img alt="The Carter by Mosaic" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="dd40a9da-3621-44c8-982f-21a9af5453bf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/E03_Superman.jpg?VersionId=nkmyXU.mmdYJ3KOetsQFTefHawpP_bFO" /> 
In line with this momentum, the final release of residences at The Carter – held back until construction commenced – is now available, with prices starting from $1.3 million. 
&nbsp; 
Mosaic Founder and Managing Director Brook Monahan said the sales result is not just about momentum – it’s about trust and a deep understanding of how people want to live. 
&nbsp; 
“We’re incredibly proud of the response to The Carter, but even more so of what it represents,” Monahan said. 
&nbsp; 
“In today’s market, trust is everything. Buyers aren’t just choosing a floorplan or responding to architecture, finishes, amenity – they’re choosing who they believe will deliver on their word, who will stand by what they build, and who will still be there long after the keys are handed over.”

<img alt="The Carter by Mosaic" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ab54573a-b3ae-45f9-a9df-e6cc4e7228c3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/I01C_Type%20E%20Overall_Dusk%20Upgrade.jpg?VersionId=zr.NqGGUzf9W0uPwfTp9ZYAvmbrlxat." />

Monahan added that responding to the current market environment means getting the balance exactly right – something Mosaic has long focused on refining. 
&nbsp; 
“It’s not just about creating a luxury product – it’s about understanding how people want to live, where they want to live, and what truly adds lasting value,” he said. 
&nbsp; 
“That balance between scale, quality, timing, and delivery is critical. We don’t chase the market – we prepare for it. That’s how we’re consistently able to meet it with the right product at the right time. 
&nbsp; 
“We listen to our customers, and from that, we continue to learn and evolve our product. We don’t overpromise. On top of that, we don’t walk away. We remain involved – because that’s what makes the difference. You see it in the history of our buildings age, how they’re maintained, and how they continue to perform over time. 
&nbsp; 
“That presence, that ownership, makes all the difference – and buyers respond to it.”

<img alt="The Carter by Mosaic" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5f72e4d5-d21c-4568-bf61-8642ec2e3752" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/A01_Pool%20to%20City.jpg?VersionId=4w3uqbbxEoO5yKv2n_.AC4xxshG.N_dO" /> 
This year is shaping up to be one of Mosaic’s most active to date, with $390 million in completed projects already delivered, $1.2 billion currently under construction, and another $1 billion in new projects set to commence within 12 months.

“It’s easy to launch a beautiful render. It’s much harder to build something exceptional, deliver it on time, and keep standing behind your projects – development after development, year after year. That’s the business we’re in," Monahan concluded.

Mosaic sells 85% of The Carter, Kangaroo Point, before public release

The Inner West’s long-awaited <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/rozelle-village-rozelle-152-victoria-road-rozelle-nsw-2039">Rozelle Village</a> has officially hit the market, and buyers haven’t wasted any time in securing an apartment in the new development that has been almost a decade in the making.

Developed by Sydney-based <a href="/developers/perifa">PERIFA</a>, part of the <a href="/builders/versatile">Versatile Group</a>, in partnership with Mitsubishi Estate Asia (MEA), the mixed-use precinct has achieved more than $140 million in apartment sales.

More than 40 apartments have already been sold, including several high-end three-bedroom apartments with sales reaching up to $6.9 million.

Demand has been driven largely by local owner-occupiers who’ve had Rozelle Village on their radar for some time, many of them already living in apartments and looking to upgrade without giving up lifestyle, walkability, or views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8142 project_image_fid=347020]

PERIFA Co-founder and Managing Director,&nbsp;Fabrizio Perilli, said the team is&nbsp;thrilled with the level of interest in Rozelle Village.

"It demonstrates the strong demand for well-designed, high-quality homes in the Inner West, but also the ongoing demand we’re seeing for new housing in Sydney."

Perilli says Rozelle Village is providing the people of Sydney with the quality housing they so desperately need, and with open, community spaces and well-curated retail amenity for everyone to enjoy.

"With demolition complete, we’re looking forward to progressing with construction over the coming months.”

<a href="/project-marketer/srm-residential">SRM Residential</a> Director, David Milton, says the response to the development was very strong, as expected.

"There is such limited supply in this area and buyers have been anticipating this release for a long time.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8142 project_image_fid=347019]

<h2>About Rozelle Village</h2>

Rozelle Village is PERIFA and MEA’s second major joint project in Sydney, following Putney Wharf Residences.

The project, approved by the Gold Coast City Council, will comprise 192 one- and two-bedroom apartments across 20 levels, with the option to amalgamate into three-bedroom residences.

To date, only the lower levels of the building have been sold, with upper-level apartments to be released later this quarter. MRCB International CEO Ravi Krishnan said the response had far exceeded expectations.&nbsp;

“Maris has resonated with buyers who recognise the long-term value in Southport’s transformation,” said Krishnan.&nbsp;

“The demand we've received to date validates our approach of creating considered, lifestyle-driven residences in locations with deep infrastructure, connectivity and lifestyle appeal.”

Demolition of the former Sundale Motel site is now complete, with construction of Maris expected to commence in the second half of 2025, and completion forecast for 2027. &nbsp;

Designed by <a href="/architects/plus-architecture">Plus Architecture</a>, Maris pairs contemporary coastal architecture with elevated amenity, offering residents access to a rooftop yoga and dining terrace, a podium-level pool, gym, sauna, and expansive lounge spaces with panoramic views of the Broadwater and Gold Coast skyline.&nbsp;

The project occupies a prominent position opposite the Broadwater Parklands light rail station, and is within walking distance of Australia Fair, retail and dining, and the proposed Olympic arena at Carey Park, slated to drive significant investment in the lead up to the 2032 Games.&nbsp;

Recent research from Urbis confirmed Maris was the single largest contributor to Gold Coast apartment sales during the March quarter, accounting for 80 of 209 new apartment sales city-wide.

Krishnan said the data reinforced MRCB International’s strategy to deliver accessible, lifestyle-led residences in strategically located precincts.&nbsp;

“Buyers are recognising the value in Southport and the opportunity to secure design-forward apartments in walkable, connected neighbourhoods,” Krishnan added.&nbsp;

“We’re focused on creating quality projects that align with how people want to live now, and into the future”.&nbsp;

Maris builds on the momentum of MRCB International’s flagship 26 Vista project in Surfers Paradise, one of the fastest-selling developments on the Gold Coast in 2023 and 2024.
