Fresh off the back of breaking the Coogee record for the most expensive piece of real estate in the beachside suburb, Sydney property developer Central Element (CE) has acquired its next development site.

They're heading to the Lower North Shore where they've paid $17 million for a site for a mixed-use seniors living project in&nbsp;<a href="/developments/greenwich-nsw-2065">Greenwich</a>.

The design will revolve around the concept of community, pushing the boundaries of form to facilitate shared living experiences and the coming together of those who share a passion for embracing life to the fullest in their later years.

The 1,232 sqm site at 126 Pacific Highway, sits in an elevated position with uninterrupted views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and CBD skyline. With three street frontages, the site presents an opportunity for a ground-floor retail offering.

<a href="/developers/central-element">Central Element</a> is planning an eight-level building with car parking, two and three-bedroom apartments, extensive communal space including internal amenity and a rooftop bar with expansive harbour views.

CE will work very closely with the Lane Cove Council having collaborated with them previously on its Aston and Battique developments in the local area.

Nathan Chivas, Managing Director of Central Element, said they&nbsp;recognised the opportunity the Greenwich site presented for a world-class mixed-use seniors living development.

"Our intention is to create an environment for those over 60, that is hyper-focused on ageing well and enjoying their third phase of life," Chivas said.

"It’s conveniently located within a five-minute drive or a short walk of St Leonards Railway Station, Crows Nest Metro Station and Royal North Shore Hospital."

CE has previously delivered in the senior living sector. They've developed The Balmoral Collection in Mosman and Malton in Beecroft.

"We look forward to further redefining the seniors living category by catering to the ever-changing wants and needs of older Australians. With Greenwich, we will take a holistic approach to wellbeing, with a design and amenity that will promote daily movement, a shared community and purpose for its residents.”

CE will lodge the application in July, with construction commencing mid-2026.

Central Element snap up $17 million Greenwich apartment site

Aniko Group has settled the $32.5 million purchase of the&nbsp;<a>Mermaid Beach</a> site earmarked for the company’s flagship $2 billion mixed-use development, The Landmark.

The settlement marks another milestone for the four-tower development which is set to transform the long-vacant property into a <a href="/new-apartments/the-landmark-mermaid-beach-14-seaview-avenue-mermaid-beach-qld-4218">vibrant new residential, commercial, dining and leisure precinct</a>.

<a href="/developers/aniko-group">Aniko</a>&nbsp;purchased the 1.13ha site, located at the corner of the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> Highway and Seaview Avenue, in 2022, with the $32.5 million deal listed among the biggest residential land transactions of the year.

“When considering the prime location, size and scale of the project proposed by Aniko Group, this is an irreplaceable asset and the development approval has added substantial value to the site,” said Mark Witheriff, the Gold Coast managing director at <a href="/project-marketer/cbre-residential-australia">CBRE</a> who negotiated the sale with Brenden Hogan of <a href="/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a>.

“The <a href="/developments/mermaid-beach-qld-4218">Mermaid Beach</a> holding is the best large-scale site remaining in the central Gold Coast region and it’s pleasing to see that Aniko Group has recognised the unique development opportunity it presents by progressing its plans to activate the property.”

The settlement of the acquisition comes on the heels of Aniko Group making minor adjustments to the proposed four-tower development, after the company secured approval for the masterplan late last year.

The Landmark, poised to become an iconic southern gateway to Broadbeach, will be developed in stages by Aniko Group over the next six years. This endeavour promises to unlock fresh residential and commercial opportunities at the doorstep of Pacific Fair, renowned as one of Australia’s premium shopping destinations.

When completed, The Landmark will comprise three residential towers of 25, 30, and 40 storeys, as well as a 53-level tower featuring a mix of hotel suites and private hotel-branded residences.

Complementing the meticulously integrated collection of residential apartments and the proposed luxury hotel will be an activated commercial precinct comprising offices, medical services and ground-floor retail and dining precincts.

A sprawling 1ha recreation podium will offer residents and hotel guests unparalleled amenities, all within close proximity to the entirety of the site.

Positioned prominently at the entrance to the iconic Pacific Fair Shopping Centre, the site is supported by its easy access to the Broadbeach South light rail station and bus interchange to create an uber-connected Landmark community and support a new urban heart for Mermaid Beach.

The visionary project, driven by Aniko Group founder and managing director George Mastrocostas, is gearing up for a start to construction at the end of this year.

“We’re thrilled to announce the settlement of the site purchase as the latest milestone for The Landmark,” Mastrocostas said.

“Through an exhaustive design process since we first put our foot on this site in 2022, we are now set to deliver a new standard for affordable luxury for Mermaid Beach, a suburb that has dominated the premium residential market for decades.”

Following extensive feedback from buyers seeking affordable luxury residential living in the suburb, Aniko Group recently submitted a modified development application to the City of Gold Coast proposing enhancements to Tower 1 of The Landmark.&nbsp;

Taking a ‘rightsizing’ approach to its development strategy, Aniko Group has reconfigured the floorplate of the first tower, increasing its size from 784 sqm to 837 sqm and introducing an additional apartment per level.

“The refinements are designed to elevate the unique residential offering at The Landmark,” Mastrocostas said.

“They will allow us the opportunity to create coastal apartment living at a price point that simply doesn’t exist anywhere in the Mermaid Beach market.”

Aniko Group, which is currently undertaking construction of the $150 million <a href="/new-apartments/orama-chevron-island-12-16-weemala-street-chevron-island">Orama</a> apartment project at <a href="/new-apartments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>, has reaffirmed its plans to start construction of the first stage of The Landmark in the final quarter of 2024.

Aniko settle on $32.5 million Mermaid Beach The Landmark site

National property and construction group Traders In Purple has signed a second partnership agreement with Sydney Anglican Property to redevelop a centrally located site in Lane Cove, currently occupied by St Andrews Anglican Parish Centre.

The 1960s built church is proposed to make way for new and expanded ministry spaces, a publicly available 400-seat auditorium, a minister’s residence, retail space and up to 40 apartments, the majority of which will be three bedrooms to cater for local families and larger households.

Located on the corner of Finlayson Street and Rosenthal Avenue, opposite the popular retail and dining hub The Canopy, repurposing of the 3,000 sqm site plus an adjacent residential block, presents an opportunity to meet the urgent need for more well-located residences while providing the Diocese with contemporary space to fulfil its community purpose.

<img alt="Traders in Purple" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c1d602b3-62fb-4958-9a9d-f3f43bbfb584" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-03-28%20at%209.05.34%20am.png?VersionId=Lfompc6gatvMmJocBxoHNvCk6d0x1nrH" />

Traders In Purple Director George Geagea said the site was one of the last in central Lane Cove suitable for development and likely to also be in high demand amongst downsizers seeking to move from the family home to a quality designed and built low maintenance apartment.

“This is our second partnership with Sydney Anglican Property and confirmation of their trust in our capability and compatibility,” Geagea said.

“We look forward to working together to realise the Diocese’s vision for their Lane Cove community and delivering exceptional homes in a location where there are few opportunities for residential development and housing supply.

“There is a clear Government intent to see more in-fill development in strategic locations that have the infrastructure and capacity to accommodate more housing.

“The Lane Cove site ticks all the boxes for residential development. It is in a quiet, leafy street of predominantly mid-rise apartments, just a short walk away from Lane Cove’s main shopping precinct.

“Considering its prime location, this is a great opportunity for Traders In Purple to work with Sydney Anglican Property to repurpose their asset and deliver wide-ranging benefits to the community.”

<img alt="The Lane Cove site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d8e62a56-9d32-4823-89a7-8fc00fede0d9" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-03-28%20at%209.05.52%20am.png?VersionId=kO2yWi.XQGFkHx4B0VVilTTVPtXWda8F" />

Sydney Anglican Property CEO Ross Jones said the project is an excellent example of the Diocese’s Urban Renewal Program in practice.

“Under the URP, we are looking to use our existing property resources to serve the communities we are a part of, while also ensuring our local churches have the facilities they need for generations to come,” said Mr Jones.

“We know that Traders In Purple shares that vision, making them a very compatible development partner for projects like this.

“If approved, the plans for this site mean Lane Cove will not only have access to increased housing supply, but also a publicly available, state-of-the-art auditorium right in the centre of town.

“We’re already working closely with council and parishioners to ensure the project delivers the best possible outcome for everyone who’s a part of the Lane Cove community.”

Traders In Purple has also acquired an adjacent property to allow for increased project scale and expects to lodge a development application later this year.&nbsp; Following community and stakeholder consultation, they anticipate construction to commence in 2027.

Traders in Purple to target local families in Lane Cove church redevelopment

National developer Sekisui House has spent just over $110 million on a prime development site in St Leonards for its next apartment development.

<a href="/developers/sekisui-house-australia">Sekisui</a>, currently developing the $1 billion Norwest masterplan as well as the $1.2 billion West Village community in Berisbane's West End, bought the 8,758 sqm freehold site across&nbsp;22-34 Berry Road, 42-46 River Road, and 21-31 Holdsworth Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134191 project_image_fid=230]

The sale came with approved plans for 230 apartments across five four to eight-level buildings, as well as a central north-south 'green spine' which will feature a swimming pool area. Some 28 per cent of the site, 2,411 sqm, will be dedicated to communal open space.

The majority of apartments in the project, <a href="/new-apartments/holdsworth-avenue-st-leonards">Waterstone</a>, will be two-bedders, around 50 per cent. There will be roughly 46 three-bedroom apartments and 74 one-bedrooms, catering to a wide range of buyers.

<a href="/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> Asia Markets team secured the <a href="/new-apartments/st-leonards-nsw-2065">St Leonards</a>&nbsp;sale through an off-market campaign process with a short four-week settlement.

"This has been a strong result despite current market conditions as active developers continue to seek DA approved development opportunities in a prime location," the Colliers team advised.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134191 project_image_fid=234]

They said the&nbsp;strategic location of the sites within the St Leonards South precinct adds to their appeal, as they are among the few remaining parcels of land with such immense development potential.

The $110.5 million sale equates to approximately $480,000 per unit site and $4,853 per sqm on GFA.&nbsp;

The vision of the St Leonards South Precinct, described within Lane Cove Development Control Plan 2009, is for a "liveable, walkable, connected, safe, precinct which builds upon the transit and land use opportunities of St Leonards and Metro Stations and commercial centre."

Meanwhile, Sekisui recently&nbsp;unveiled the final release of apartments in the penultimate stage of their multi-award-winning <a href="/new-apartments/west-end-qld-4101">West End</a> master plan.

They've just taken to market the Opulent release, a collection of four and five-bedroom luxury apartments in the <a href="/new-apartments/the-allere-collection-west-village-mollison-street-west-end">Allere Collection</a>, which comprises two towers, Uno and Duo.

Uno and Duo, which are 95 per cent sold, will be the second to last buildings in the 2.6-hectare West Village precinct which Sekisui started developing in 2016.

Just a few weeks after the launch of its first Gold Coast apartment development Nera on Chevron Island, Queensland developer Bastion Property Group has snapped up a site for its next.

Following around $18 million in sales at <a href="/new-apartments/nera-residences-chevron-island-8-10-parneno-street-chevron-island">Nera</a>, Bastion has acquired two sites at 27 Vista Street and 2959 <a href="/developments/surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Surfers Paradise</a> Boulevard which will be amalgamated to create an 826 sqm block and home a new multi-level apartment development.

<a href="/developers/bastion">Bastion Property Group</a>'s&nbsp;Alex Wood said the company was keen to explore further development opportunities on the Gold Coast as part of its commitment to have 10 projects in market over the next 10 years.&nbsp;

“We have great confidence in the Gold Coast market and this latest acquisition will enable us to continue to build and grow the Bastion brand as a residential developer of choice for discerning buyers,” Wood said.

The sites are located just a stone’s throw from the sought-after Garfield Terrace, the beach, and is situated next to the light rail tram stop.&nbsp;

The acquisition comes on the heels of the company's preliminary success of its $140 million Nera project at <a href="/new-apartments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a> following a soft launch that drew more than 200 inquiries in the first few weeks of release.

Bastion has already locked in sales of $18 million, with the majority of interest coming from locals.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108640 project_image_fid=241583]

Nera, located at the northern end of Chevron at 8-10 Parneno Street, will deliver a collection of 87 apartments across 28 levels.

Alex De Vincentiis, managing director of project marketer <a href="/project-marketer/onepm">ONE:PM</a>, said locals are already won over by the location.

"As expected, local owner-occupiers, many of them already living on Chevron Island, have dominated preliminary inquiries, although we have also fielded multiple inquiries from interstate investors.

“From a local’s perspective, they are already won over by the location. They love Chevron Island and they want to stay, so for the buyers that have already signed up, Nera is the perfect fit for them.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108640 project_image_fid=241579]

Designed by&nbsp;<a href="/architects/plus-architecture">Plus Architecture</a>, Nera’s residences are primed for downsizers with large floorplans and an number of layout options with two and three-bedroom units on offer.

All Nera residents will enjoy rooftop amenities, including an infinity pool, wellness spa, top-tier fitness centre, exclusive dining area, sky lounges with fire pits, and a dedicated yoga platform.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108640 project_image_fid=253873]

Bastion Group, which is backed by a private consortium of experienced national and expat developers, has taken a dedicated approach to not only deliver a premium residential offering, but to create a new landmark design for Chevron Island.

“We are thrilled by the strong preliminary response to Nera, especially from locals, and the market more broadly,” Wood added.

“The soft launch has been an outstanding success and testament to our team’s efforts to create a design that epitomises a new era of luxury and sophistication that is transforming the Chevron Island lifestyle.”

Nera, which has already achieved development approval, is currently awaiting council response to minor revisions aimed at meeting demand for premium residences in the popular suburb.

Bastion anticipates construction of Nera will begin in the middle of this year with completion forecast for 2026.

Sekisui House is expanding into Castle Hill with a new site acquisition for its premium home building brand, SHAWOOD.

They've secured a 1.2-hectare site at&nbsp;2 McIntyre Place, where they intend to develop 16 detached homes each on 700 sqm which they will start construction on in mid-2024.

The acquisition comes off the back of continued growth for Sekisui House Australia, with the business recently announcing 10 acquired parcels of land across Sydney, NSW.&nbsp;

Sean Osawa, CEO of Residential Communities and Home Building at Sekisui House Australia, said the expansion into Castle Hill represents a key milestone in our growth journey across New South Wales.

"This project, like our other communities, is set to meet our high standards of innovation, design and sustainability but also resonate deeply with the local community."

The development is strategically located in a leafy area of Castle Hill and offers&nbsp;one of the last in-fill sites in the area.

<img alt="Sekisui Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3805198f-2faf-492f-a710-05b8d6aa70d4" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-12-18%20at%2012.20.20%20pm.png?VersionId=Qcao3paqY45JLXdQsk.UxRXVQEMuCD28" />

"At Castle Hill, our vision extends beyond constructing homes. We aim to cultivate a living environment that reflects the aspirations of our residents, enhancing the local community fabric," Osawa added.

"Each SHAWOOD home will be custom designed for the site, demonstrating the highest quality workmanship and curated Smart Home and sustainability inclusions."

The project&nbsp;is expected to draw significant interest due to its proximity to key infrastructure in The Hills Shire, including North Connex, the Metro North-West, arterial freeways to Sydney’s CBD, Castle Hill Towers shopping precinct, and educational facilities.

The development's strategic location, offering easy access to the city via the Castle Hill Metro Station and major roads.

Sekisui House Australia secure Castle Hill land site for townhouse development

Queensland-based property developer Pradella has secured its next Brisbane apartment development site.

They've paid $6.1 million for a&nbsp;1,083 sqm site in Toowong, opposite Toowong Memorial Park.&nbsp;

The corner site at <a href="/new-apartments/70-sylvan-road-toowong">70 Sylvan Road</a> is zoned for&nbsp;medium-density residential and has development potential for an eight-storey residential development.

The property is currently fully occupied by a mix of residential and office tenants on short-term leases.

There had been strong developer interest in the suburb, CBRE's&nbsp;Adelaide O’Brien and Will Carman said.

"The location has been a great success story for local and interstate developers who recognise its attraction to both the owner occupier and investor market,” O’Brien said.

“The property has the ability to generate a robust fully leased net annual income providing Pradella with secure earnings to strategise for future development.”

Toowong is located between Mount Coot-tha and the north bank of the Brisbane River and is surrounded by successful Brisbane developments by companies such as <a href="/developers/mosaic-property-group">Mosaic</a>, BPM and <a href="/developers/consolidated-properties">Consolidated Properties</a>.

Brisbane-based townhouse developer Azure Development Group is continuing its push for delivering a more affordable housing product in Brisbane's fringe areas.

They've secured a 4.5 hectare infill site at&nbsp;499-507 Anzac Avenue in Rothwell in the Moreton Bay LGA, paying $20.1 million.

Azure, who have a development pipeline of $1.5 billion over the next five years in South East Queensland are planning&nbsp;around 230 townhouses, which will add to their three current projects in Rothwell. The project will have a mix of three and four-bedroom terrace homes. Azure is also considering a two-bedroom product to make their offering even more diverse.

Azure’s portfolio is tackling demand at both ends of the market - from downsizers looking for premium stock in Brisbane’s inner city to more price pointed housing in the key fringe growth precincts.

They have an active portfolio of seven developments, including&nbsp;two luxury apartment projects in inner Brisbane - One Earle Lane at Toowong which is approaching a sellout and One Five Six by Azure at New Farm, which set a price record for the inner city in 2022 with its $11.4 million penthouse sale.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95611 project_image_fid=180226]

Azure’s Acquisition Director Chris Schroor says the acquisition of the Rothwell site builds on the company’s strategy of townhouse developments to meet the growing demand for affordable housing.

“We’re bullish about townhouses and we’re doubling down on our strategy through this acquisition,” Schroor said.

“We currently have three townhouse projects on the northern side of Brisbane, so this will add to that strategy.

“However, in order to meet the affordability criteria, we’re finding that we have to move further out of the Brisbane metropolitan area. Any offerings that we can deliver below $800,000 are selling quite strongly.”

In August, Azure launched the $55 million Munro by Azure which comprises 100 terrace homes in a gated estate located at Bundamba in Ipswich. The sold-out development offered three-bedroom, two-bathroom terrace homes for between $545,000 and $557,000 each.

“Our plans for Rothwell are similar to the Munro project, although it will be stronger from a price point considering the location,” Schroor added.

“It’s important to secure sites such as this that can deliver projects of scale to ensure we can meet the price points where the market dominates at present.”

Azure already has two other Ipswich projects in train – the $50 million Seasons by Azure, comprising 68 terrace homes in the Brookwater enclave in Springfield which is due for completion in December, and a proposed 129-lot project at Flinders View which is still in the planning stages.

Schroor says there's been confidence from all sector of the market, which he says has well and truly returned.

“We’ve had strong sales in the second half, with Munro selling out and the Northlakes development selling strongly.”

The Rothwell project joins Azure’s existing Brisbane northside projects of The Terraces by Azure, a 53-townhouse development at Mango Hill set for completion in January, and Willow by Azure at Northlakes which comprises 76 terrace homes that are priced from $699,900.

Azure’s Acquisition Director Chris Schroor says the acquisition of the Rothwell site builds on the company’s strategy of townhouse developments to meet the growing demand for affordable housing

As construction comes toward the pointy end of their sold out <a href="/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach apartment development</a> Esplanade, veteran developer Pask Group has secured its next <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast apartment development</a> site.

They've grabbed a 1,012 sqm site at 216 Esplanade in Burleigh Heads, which came with approved plans for a luxury apartment development designed by Koichi Takada, who has put his stamp on the Burleigh Heads beachfront in recent years.

He first designed FORME's award-winning Goodwin Terrace apartment project The Norfolk, and the recently launched Isabel by Mosaic, which is just a few doors down from Pask's new project.

Nearly 18 months ago plans were filed for a 17-level tower then dubbed Palms. Just 28 half and full-floor apartments were signed off by the Gold Coast City Council in February.

<img alt="Koichi Takada back with new luxury Burleigh Heads 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/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-30_at_2.10.44_pm.png" />

The three-bed apartments, 23 of them, will start from 205 sqm&nbsp;internally, and the five four-bedroom apartments start from 411 sqm of living space across a full floor. They will have a butler's pantry in the kitchen, a second living space/rumpus room, and high-end wine storage.

The tower will be crowned with two two-level penthouses, with the 295 sqm half floor apartments on level one, with level two set to home a huge master suite, an outdoor dining terrace with built-in barbecue kitchen, a sun deck, and a private plunge pool.

The resident amenity is located on the&nbsp;second&nbsp;level, where there will be a resort-style pool with ice bath, hot tub, two saunas, and an outdoor shower. A lounge zone will meet a barbecue space, and toward the rear of the building is a gym with an outdoor space, and a yoga studio. A three-bedroom apartment is also located on this level, with its own plunge pool in a wrap around garden.

Takada says the development is inspired by its natural surroundings.
