Growing national developer Time &amp; Place has announced its fifth new apartment development.

With two projects in Manly and two upcoming in Surry Hills and Potts Point, the developer, which expanded beyond Melbourne just a few years ago, is now heading to Mosman. It is planning 53 new apartments on Redan Street.

The 3,233 sqm site, spanning <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/40-48-redan-street-mosman-nsw-2088">40–48 Redan Street</a> with frontage to Redan Lane, is located just under 400 metres from Spit Junction Town Centre. It is reported the developer paid around $100 million for the five-site amalgamation.

Time &amp; Place, founded by Tim Price and backed by James Packer’s private investment firm NPACT, has submitted the project as a State Significant Development through the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

Of the 53 apartments, 42 will be released to the market, with the remaining 11 allocated as affordable housing in line with NSW Government requirements.

fjc Studio has designed the building. In its Design Report, the architect said the diverse mix of dwelling types and sizes, including 11 two-bedroom affordable housing units, 40 three-bedroom apartments, and two four-bedroom residences, will support a broad demographic, including families, downsizers, and key workers.

The development will rise to nine levels, a height encouraged by the NSW Government due to the site’s proximity to Spit Junction, which has been identified as a low- to mid-rise centre. Developments within a certain proximity to these centres are permitted increased height.

fjc said the project “achieves an appropriate density outcome for its setting by balancing increased housing supply with strong amenity performance,” adding that it “makes a measurable contribution to NSW housing supply targets through the delivery of additional dwellings and dedicated affordable housing.”

The new development will replace five existing two-storey homes.

“By aligning with the objectives of the Housing SEPP and applying careful architectural and urban design principles, the development provides high-quality residential accommodation that integrates sensitively within its established Mosman context and delivers enduring benefits to residents and the wider community.”

Mosman has become increasingly popular with developers in recent years.

Developer Abadeen has been particularly active, with Mosman Residences currently on the market and under construction on Clifford Street. It also has an upcoming Burran Avenue project, comprising just three apartments on the Balmoral Slopes, and recently secured the Midas and Honeysuckle nursery site on Military Road.

Prosker Property has a project on Redan Lane, just a few doors down from Time &amp; Place’s proposed development.

Developers including Toohey Miller, DARE Property Group, and WINIM also have projects underway in the area. In 2024, a five-year target was set for the Mosman LGA to increase housing supply by 500 dwellings by 2029.

Time &amp; Place entered the Sydney market with Two Tides, its under construction Manly development. Given its sales success, it has secured another development in the area, more boutique, facing the beach on North Steyne.

They are hoping to launch their redevelopment of The Chimes in Potts Point this year, and next year will look to take to market Marlborough House, an adaptive re-use of the landmark David Jones warehouse in Surry Hills.

Time & Place to take on Mosman apartment market

Brunswick’s civic heart continues to consolidate around the Merri-bek Arts and Culture Precinct, where a growing cluster of cultural institutions, recreation facilities, and public infrastructure has created one of the inner north’s most defined community hubs.&nbsp;

Within this evolving precinct, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/saxon-street-by-milieu-brunswick-31-saxon-street-brunswick-vic-3056">Saxon Street by Milieu</a> introduces new housing directly alongside the civic anchors that shape daily life in the suburb.

At 31 Saxon Street, the project sits immediately beside Brunswick Baths and within moments of Brunswick Library and Town Hall, longstanding institutions that support both community services and everyday amenity.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136434 project_image_fid=348840]

Next door, the newly delivered Balam Balam Place arts precinct has emerged as a central piece of Merri-bek Council’s cultural strategy, bringing together creative studios, exhibition spaces, maternal and child health services, and community programming in a purpose-built civic facility. Together, these destinations have reinforced the surrounding blocks as a focal point for public life in Brunswick.

This part of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/brunswick-vic-3056">Brunswick</a> forms a key pocket within the suburb’s designated Major Activity Centre, where long-term planning has prioritised walkability, civic investment, and increased housing supply close to transport and services. The surrounding street network reflects that strategy, with compact blocks, established retail corridors and active transport links supporting a lifestyle that is largely navigable on foot.

Within a few minutes’ walk, Sydney Road delivers one of Melbourne’s most recognisable streets, known for its long-running mix of independent retailers, international dining venues and everyday convenience. Tram routes along Sydney Road provide frequent connections south toward the CBD and north through Brunswick and Coburg, while Jewell Station on the Upfield line sits within roughly a ten-minute walk, offering direct train access into the city.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136434 project_image_fid=348839]

Active transport also plays a significant role locally. The nearby Upfield Bike Path forms a key north–south cycling corridor linking Brunswick through Parkville and into the central city, reinforcing the area’s reputation as one of Melbourne’s most accessible inner-urban neighbourhoods for cyclists and pedestrians alike.

The surrounding civic cluster extends beyond cultural infrastructure. Siteworks, a nearby creative hub supporting artists and community organisations, adds to the concentration of cultural activity in the immediate area. Educational institutions such as Brunswick North Primary School, Brunswick Secondary College and RMIT’s Brunswick campus are also within easy reach, contributing to the suburb’s diverse resident base spanning families, students and professionals.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136434 project_image_fid=348841]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/jackson-clements-burrows-architects">Jackson Clements Burrows Architects</a> in collaboration with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/designoffice">DesignOffice</a> and landscape architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/oculus">OCULUS</a>, the nine-level building has been shaped to respond to the surrounding streetscape, with lower levels aligning to the street and upper storeys stepping back to soften its scale and improve solar access.&nbsp;

Curved balcony forms reference nearby heritage architecture, while the development’s public realm improvements include a widened footpath along Saxon Street to strengthen pedestrian connections between the precinct’s civic sites.

Sustainability also underpins the project’s approach. The building is designed to operate entirely on electric infrastructure supported by rooftop solar, with an average 7.5-star NatHERS energy rating and EV-charging readiness across the development. Shared resident amenities will include a landscaped rooftop terrace with barbecue and covered dining areas intended to encourage informal interaction between residents.

Saxon Street marks developer Milieu's fifth project in Brunswick and continues its focus on design-led infill housing across Melbourne’s inner suburbs.&nbsp;

Construction has commenced through reputable builder Manresa, who will complete the project in 2027.

Saxon Street by Milieu connects residents to Brunswick’s cultural and civic core

Within <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/candela-ivanhoe-40-upper-heidelberg-road-ivanhoe-vic-3079">Candela Ivanhoe</a>, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/salter-brothers">Salter Brothers</a>&nbsp;takes a different approach to larger residences, moving away from the constraints of a single level.

In Grand Residence 3.05, known as the Lustre, plays out across two levels, with a mezzanine configuration that is uncommon in apartment living.

Lustre is a four-bathroom residence where the layout creates a clear distinction between shared and private zones, with uninterrupted views toward the Dandenong Ranges extending the sense of openness from the main living areas.

Entry is to the primary living level, where the kitchen, dining, and living areas are arranged as one continuous space. Timber flooring runs throughout, with a fireplace set within the living zone. Full-height glazing brings in natural light, supported by double glazing that improves thermal performance.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357506]

The kitchen is configured as both a working and social space. A large island bench provides seating, while a walk-in pantry extends storage beyond typical apartment expectations.

Gaggenau appliances, including a 900mm gas cooktop and 600mm oven, are integrated into a layout that connects directly to the adjacent dining and living areas, and outward to the terrace. This balcony includes a built-in BBQ, reinforcing the apartment’s capacity to accommodate larger gatherings without compromising internal space.

A dedicated laundry room, powder room, and a wine cellar area sit discreetly off the main living zone, ensuring that functional requirements are resolved without encroaching on primary living areas. The master suite is also located on this level, designed as a retreat with a walk-through wardrobe and an ensuite that includes double vanities, a bath, and a dedicated dressing table.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357508]

The mezzanine level introduces a second layer of living, rather than simply additional bedrooms. Two large bedrooms with built-in robes are positioned alongside a central bathroom, while a secondary lounge and study area create a self-contained zone suited to children, guests, or extended family. A large storage room further supports long-term usability, addressing a common shortfall in apartment design.

This separation of levels is central to how the residence functions day-to-day. It allows the lower level to operate as the primary entertaining and living space, while the upper level provides privacy and flexibility. The result is closer in feel to a townhouse or standalone home, but with the benefits of apartment living, security, and low maintenance.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=364553]

Candela is close to 80 per cent complete, with Ironside delivering construction ahead of its expected October 2026 completion. The development comprises 58 residences, with a strong owner-occupier profile and a mix of one to four-bedroom apartments and loft-style townhouses.

Candela has exclusive access to private amenities, including a residential lounge and rooftop terrace. A charming café and a lifestyle wellness centre are located on the ground level, designed to foster community connection and extend the living experience beyond individual apartments without competing with the scale of homes like Lustre.

Candela, positioned in the heart of Ivanhoe Village, reinforces the practicality of the address. With a Walk Score of 90, residents are within immediate reach of cafés, retail, parklands, and Ivanhoe Station, while also benefiting from proximity to established schools and healthcare services.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/milieu-property">Milieu</a>’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elsternwick-gardens-by-milieu-8-gordon-street-elsternwick-vic-3185">Elsternwick Gardens</a> is being shaped around a simple but increasingly rare premise in apartment development: that the built environment should actively support residents’ wellbeing.&nbsp;

Located on the former ABC Studios site on Gordon Street in Melbourne’s south-east, the new neighbourhood sits on an expansive 11,740 sqm site neighbouring the heritage-listed Rippon Lea Estate, whose gardens date back more than 140 years.

Rather than positioning wellness as an add-on amenity, the development integrates it into the physical planning of the site. Architecture by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> is arranged across six low-rise buildings set within extensive landscaping designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/oculus">OCULUS</a>, with more than 40 per cent of the land dedicated to gardens and green space. Walking trails, pocket gardens, and mature trees are threaded between buildings, creating a network of green corridors that encourage residents to move through the precinct on foot and spend more time outdoors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136535 project_image_fid=288420]

Milieu has intentionally framed these gardens as an extension of the neighbouring Rippon Lea Estate. More than 16,000 new plants will be introduced across the site, with species carefully selected to protect and complement the area’s ecological significance. The approach focuses on strengthening existing environmental conditions while establishing new habitats that support native wildlife, reinforcing the role of the landscape as both an active ecosystem and a defining element of daily life.

A private resident gate will provide direct access to the historic grounds during opening hours, allowing residents to move seamlessly between the development’s landscaped gardens and the estate’s expansive lawns, lakes, and mature trees. The project’s gardens will also be maintained by the same gardeners responsible for Rippon Lea, reinforcing the visual and ecological continuity between the two landscapes.

Complementing the landscape is a dedicated wellness hub designed to support everyday health and recovery. Residents will have access to a gym alongside yoga and Pilates studios, while mineral pools and infrared saunas provide spaces for relaxation and restorative wellbeing. Shared lounges, workshop spaces, and pet care facilities expand the concept of wellness beyond fitness, creating opportunities for social connection and community interaction within the precinct.

Environmental performance is another key component of the project’s wellbeing focus. Elsternwick Gardens will be entirely fossil-fuel-free, with homes designed to operate on renewable electricity rather than gas. Passive design strategies, including cross-flow ventilation, high-performance insulation, and thermally broken double glazing, are intended to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures while reducing energy demand. Solar photovoltaic systems will power common building services, while rainwater harvesting will help irrigate the extensive landscaping across the site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136535 project_image_fid=361030]

Milieu Founder and Managing Director Michael McCormack says the scale and setting of the project allowed the team to take a different approach to urban apartment living.

“This site represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build something truly special,” McCormack says.

“Through that process, we arrived at a design that centres on a fully realised natural landscape – a series of private, interconnected gardens that encircle the homes and extend seamlessly from Rippon Lea Estate.”

Elsternwick Gardens will comprise three residential offerings, Gordon Place, Ripponlea Terrace, and The Garden Pavilion, each designed for owner-occupiers and shaped around high-quality interior design by Woods Bagot, K.P.D.O., and Flack Studio. The first stage, Gordon Place, includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments designed with a strong focus on indoor-outdoor living and sustainability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136535 project_image_fid=288412]

Milieu recently appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/brady-constructions">Brady Constructions</a> to deliver the project, marking a key milestone for the development. The appointment follows the demolition of the former studio buildings on the Gordon Street site, with construction progressing toward the delivery of the nature-led community.

Situated between the established villages of Elsternwick and Ripponlea, the development balances its garden setting with strong urban connectivity. Residents will be within walking distance of cafés, restaurants, and local retail, while nearby train and tram connections provide quick access to Melbourne’s CBD and the beaches of Elwood and St Kilda.

With construction underway and the first residents expected to move in by early 2027, Elsternwick Gardens represents a growing shift in apartment development toward environments that prioritise wellbeing as much as density or location. By placing landscape, sustainability, and shared spaces at the centre of the design, Milieu is positioning the project as a residential neighbourhood where wellness is not just promoted, but built into the structure of everyday life.

Elsternwick Gardens' wellness-first design strategy

Brisbane-based developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/red-co">Red &amp; Co</a> has made a striking debut on the Gold Coast, officially unveiling its $250 million COMO development in Varsity Lakes, a lifestyle-driven residential project anchored by an extensive rooftop wellness and activity precinct.

Having recently launched to market, construction has already been fast-tracked by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/5point-projects">5Point Projects</a>, ensuring momentum continues on what is set to become a landmark residential address for the growing Varsity Lakes community.

Located at 22 Lake Street, Varsity Lakes, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/como-varsity-lakes-22-lake-street-varsity-lakes-qld-4227">COMO</a> will comprise 156 apartments across 16 levels, comprising one-, two- and three-bedroom residences designed for modern living. However, it is the project’s rooftop amenity offering that sets COMO apart.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363510]

Designed as a dedicated wellness and recreation hub, the rooftop will feature a 25-metre lap pool, fully equipped gymnasium, and multiple pickleball and paddleball courts - amenities rarely seen in boutique apartment projects.

Residents will also have access to a sauna and plunge baths, while landscaped gardens and relaxation zones will provide tranquil spaces overlooking sweeping panoramic views across the Gold Coast skyline.

The rooftop precinct has been designed to function as the social and wellness heart of the development, encouraging residents to embrace an active, balanced lifestyle within their own building.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363512]

Red &amp; Co director David Laverty said the amenity offering was central to the project’s design from the outset.

“Amenities were at the forefront of our decisions,” Laverty said.

“Buyers today are looking for more than just an apartment - they want a lifestyle that promotes health, connection and balance.

“The rooftop at COMO has been designed to be the epicentre of that lifestyle, with a suite of wellness and recreation facilities that are quite unique for a boutique development of this scale.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363514]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, the residences prioritise liveability, featuring spacious layouts, 2.7-metre ceilings and high-quality finishes throughout.

The development sits beside Bond University, placing residents within walking distance of education, retail and dining options within the vibrant Varsity Lakes precinct, including Robina Town Centre, Varsity Lakes Train Station and a range of leading schools.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363511]

Laverty said the location was a key driver behind Red &amp; Co’s decision to bring the project to the Gold Coast.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/varsity-lakes-qld-4227">Varsity Lakes</a> was a clear choice for us to invest in as it’s a lifestyle hub that seamlessly blends lakeside living with urbanity,” he said.&nbsp;

“Como will capitalize on this great location, delivering a project that not only creates premium homes, but a lifestyle defined by community, wellbeing, and connectivity.”

Red &amp; Co has delivered more than 500 apartments and townhouses across 26 projects in Brisbane in recent years, with COMO marking the company’s first major Gold Coast development.

Aland

Sydney developer and builder ALAND has unveiled its collection of penthouse atop their new Gosford apartment development, Archibald by ALAND.

The 12 penthouse apartments, across the top two levels of the Donnison Street tower, have been dubbed the Signature Collection, featuring extensive views across both the surrounding water and mountains.

The three and four-bedroom penthouses range in size from 176 sqm to 280 sqm, and are priced from $2,320,000.&nbsp;

The Signature Collection is expected to attract discerning buyers from Gosford, Newcastle and Sydney who are either looking to downsize, buy a high-end weekender, or make plans for future retirement on the Central Coast.&nbsp;

ALAND Founder and Director Andrew Hrsto says The Signature Collection is a masterclass in contemporary apartment design and also demonstrates his own passion for high-quality finishes.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=215488]

“Our design brief was to create something glamourous and yet understated and timeless – and I believe we’ve achieved that brilliantly,” Hrsto said.

“At the same time I wanted the Collection to incorporate a rich blend of prestige materials, such as Tundra Grey marble benchtops, Carrara marble tiles and Australian oak floorboards.”

Apart from their generous floorplans, the penthouses feature elevated ceilings to ensure that residents make the most of their sweeping ocean and mountain views.

“Everything in these apartments and penthouses is about creating a sense of space and light,” Hrsto added.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=215487]

“That is why we’ve introduced higher ceiling heights and fluted cabinetry throughout.”

The Signature Collection penthouses feature premium fittings such brushed-nickel Grohe tapware and Series 9 Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances. Penthouses also include fireplaces, cocktail-style bar areas, wine fridges, stacked double ovens and a butler’s pantry.

ALAND Head of Development Ryan Lane&nbsp;says The Signature Collection captures a sense of coastal elegance, combining timeless interior design with a sophisticated use of materials and colours.

“The finishes, such as the fluted joinery are very tactile and textured, while the curvilinear shapes embody the dynamic nature of water. This is appropriate since most of the living spaces look out over Brisbane Water,” Lane said.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=215489]

“Residents of these penthouses will enjoy an enviable lifestyle. The seamless flow between inside and outside spaces will make entertaining family and friends at home a pleasure. Residents and their guests can also enjoy a cocktail at the Skybar &amp; Lounge on level 28 or meet at the podium level swim-up bar or the ground floor Union Hotel."

Lane says that Archibald by ALAND, which is scheduled to be completed at the end of 2024, will be a one-of-a-kind offering on the Central Coast, providing easy access to the region’s beautiful beaches and national parks, transport links and many local services.&nbsp;

“The town of Gosford offers a wealth of natural beauty, but still offers great connectivity to Sydney and regional NSW. At the same time residents will find much of what they need, such as dining, shopping and entertainment options, literally on their doorstep.”

The mixed-use project comprises 323 apartments, 130 hotel rooms, and a cosmopolitan dining precinct at the foot of the building.

Prominent Western Sydney developer builder&nbsp;ALAND&nbsp;is on track to deliver 652 new homes this year to the heavily undersupplied New South Wales property market.

&nbsp;

ALAND, who recently celebrated 20&nbsp;years in operation, is on track to deliver hundreds of new homes after topping out two of its most significant residential projects in Sydney’s western suburbs.

Stage one of The Gladstone Village in Merrylands, dubbed Quartz, and their Carson on the Park project in St Marys, both reached their highest structural points recently.

The 652 apartments set to be completed this year make up around 50 per cent of&nbsp;ALAND&nbsp;apartments currently under construction this year, with a further 6,500 new homes in the pipeline.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7642 project_image_fid=197117]

ALAND&nbsp;Chief Executive Officer George Tadrosse says Sydney’s chronic housing shortage and a high demand from buyers and investors was driving its strategy.

“We take a medium- to long-term view on our projects,"&nbsp;Tadrosse says.

"We can see development approvals dropping off and supply slowing yet demand continues to increase. There’s a need for projects in Western Sydney for buyers who want to enter the market or investors looking to build their wealth.

“Our expertise is in identifying the best sites for quality living for owner occupiers and tenants, close to amenities, and beautiful finishes at an affordable price point. We’ve proven there’s demand for this and we continue to deliver on our promise to provide much-needed housing.”&nbsp;

Tadrosse attributes&nbsp;ALAND’s successful project delivery to its position as a multidisciplinary development and construction company&nbsp;

“As a developer builder, we are better equipped to be able to manage the various pressures at play and keep moving ahead,” Tadrosse added.

“We have between 300-400 construction workers on each project, some of whom have been with&nbsp;ALAND&nbsp;for up to 20 years. We’re fortunate to have a loyal and dedicated team that shares&nbsp;ALAND’s vision and commitment to deliver high-quality stock to the market.”

On track for completion this year is Carson on the Park in St Marys which will deliver 289 new apartments priced from $475,000 and Quartz in The Gladstone Village, Merrylands offering 363 new apartments starting at $567,000 for a one-bedroom.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7642 project_image_fid=197136]

By 2024, Paramount on Parkes in Harris Park, on the fringe of Parramatta CBD will deliver 331 new apartments with prices beginning from $705,000 and Archibald by&nbsp;ALAND&nbsp;in Gosford with 363 new apartments starting from $450,000 for a one-bedroom.

ALAND&nbsp;Founder and Director Andrew Hrsto says with its focus on meeting the demand for inexpensive housing stock in NSW,&nbsp;ALAND&nbsp;is committed to forging ahead and delivering new homes to the market where they’re needed most.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

“The completion of these projects has been a priority for us as we recognise the urgent need for affordable housing options in the region. This is in line with our commitment to deliver quality homes that represent true value for money to help alleviate the current housing supply issue in NSW,” Hrsto says.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“We are dedicated to providing immediate relief to the market and we understand that solving the housing crisis requires more than just a pipeline of future developments. It is about forward thinking and addressing the issue head-on to ensure that stock is available now.”

The average price for a two-bedroom apartment across available&nbsp;ALAND&nbsp;stock is $650,000 – around 38 per cent less than Sydney's median dwelling value – allowing more people to enter the market as property in this price range qualifies for several government incentives.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208154]

“At our accessible price points, we continue to see interest from first home buyers and investors, with the majority of&nbsp;ALAND&nbsp;projects selling out prior to completion, proving there is demand for high-quality housing where prices are achievable for buyers entering into the market,” Hrsto says.

Carson on the Park is over 85 per cent sold, with first-home buyers and investors accounting for a significant portion of the sales. Earlier this year, Quartz released its final apartments to the market, creating a significant increase in enquiries as the building begins to take on a more prominent position in the local skyline.&nbsp;

ALAND on track to deliver 650 homes to Sydney in 2023

A Central Coast tower that was originally approved over seven years ago has finally arrived in the heart of Gosford.

Prominent Sydney developer ALAND expanded on the plans after acquiring the 5656 sqm site at 108 Donnison Street in June.

Named after Archibald Acheson, the second Earl of Gosford, the two-tower development will be home to 323 residential apartments, 130 hotel rooms, multiple food and beverage tenants, plus a whole floor 960sqm sky bar.

ALAND CEO George Tadrosse said the revitalised development would be worth the wait given its tremendous offering and outstanding location.

"This is an excellent opportunity to offer an unmatched product to Gosford and add a significant new addition to the local skyline," Tadrosse says.

"As a result of careful consideration, we believe we have created an exceptional contemporary design that will appeal to holidaymakers, local buyers, purchasers moving to Gosford, and investors looking to capitalise on the growth potential of this thriving community."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208124]

John McGrath, CEO of McGrath Estate Agents who are marketing the project, said the Central Coast is poised for impressive price growth performance.

“With a perfect blend of coast and country lifestyle, combined with an easy drive to one of the biggest cities in the world, it has everything the market wants," McGrath said, adding that the growing work from home trend has made it an even more in-demand lifestyle.

“Gosford is rapidly emerging as one of the most exciting fast-growth commercial hubs on the east coast of Australia and provides the area with the long-awaited commercial and retail opportunities it’s been crying out for.”

Despite a widespread price correction across many residential markets, McGrath said the thriving region has great long-term prospects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208124]

“The Central Coast has been impacted along with almost every other market in the country, but the growing trend towards sea and tree changes - coupled with work from home demands - has positioned this market for a softer landing and a more rapid bounce when interest rates stabilise.

“A very large section of the growing demand for the Central Coast are both big city downsizers from nearby Sydney as well as professional couples and families. Apartment living has never been more in-demand by these groups.” McGrath also suggested Archibald will suit Sydneysiders seeking a nearby getaway within an hour of Sydney.

The two buildings will house one, two and three-bedroom units, plus three and four-bedroom penthouses, all with access to resort style facilities and many with views of Brisbane Waters and the city skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208124]

Apartments in the development range in sizes from 58 sqm to 280 sqm, with a one-bedroom starting from $475,000.

Jaimie Woodcock, principal of McGrath Central Coast, said Archibald by ALAND is a breath of fresh air for the region.

“We've been waiting a long time for a development that has something significant to offer the area. This has the hotel offering, a significant food and beverage offering as well as a gym and pool," Woodcock said, adding that the price point has already proven attractive for prospective buyers.

“We’ve had a lot of investors and first home buyers looking because they can buy in brand new under $750,000 with an extraordinary view and all of those added offerings, and that’s a compelling attraction to so many purchasers right now," Woodcock says.

Prominent Sydney developer ALAND is set to transform the abandoned Brands on Sales outlet in Campbelltown into a $400 million mixed-use development.

They've further enhanced the proposal which was submitted to council earlier this year, with the project now set to feature a shared environment for the wider community.

There will be a&nbsp;community building, public open space, playground, and curated gardens, totalling over 4,000 sqm of publicly accessible. The development will also comprise residential apartments, an 'eat street', and several retail and commercial spaces across the two hectare 22-32 Queen Street site

“Campbelltown is a fantastic suburb and this new chapter will bring with it an exciting neighbourhood space for not only the new residents of our upcoming development, but for generations to enjoy in years to come” said ALAND’s Head of Development Ryan Lane.

"Until now the site has been a wasted opportunity in a great location and we’re proud to be able to repurpose the space for the wider community."

Earlier concepts of the development have been scaled back to increase the useable communal footprint, which is a direct result of conversations with Council. Lane said Council and community feedback has been critical in shaping how the project could meet both future housing demand while simultaneously improving liveability for the greater Campbelltown population.

The proposed open green space will include multiple play areas for children of all ages including interactive water, sand and nature play, climbing equipment, a native meadow and level lawns. There will also be a bicycle loop path and community amphitheatre seating with a stage area.

ALAND’s Senior Development Manager Andrew Stacey said&nbsp;such an exceptional address deserves a superior meeting place for the community.

"That’s what we’re striving to create," Stacey added.

"To get the fit just right ALAND has been in ongoing consultation with Council and the community to ensure this plan will deliver the best outcome for all.

“Our research has taught us that Campbelltown’s local businesses and residents want an authentic community hub with a true village feel and that’s what we plan to deliver."

ALAND has already submitted plans to Council for the residential and retail component on the site. The masterplan will include 558 apartments throughout five buildings and an ‘Eat Street’ style dining precinct with over 9000 sqm of commercial and retail space, including a childcare, all within walking distance of the local train station and other key Campbelltown amenities including Macarthur Square.

To ensure the local character at the rear of the site is maintained and celebrated, all mature legacy trees around the community building and public play area will be retained as well as the view corridor to the neighbouring heritage buildings.

Planned at the heart of the shared community area will be a colourful fringe lily public art piece, visible from Queen Street and illuminated at night in celebration of 200 years of Campbelltown. The DA is also proposing a two-level (ground and basement to preserve the low impact landscape) community centre, which will house an auditorium, kiosk, lift and several multi-purpose spaces. 
 
Campbelltown City Council Mayor George Greiss praised ALAND’s design and its contribution to a revitalised Campbelltown City Centre.

“It’s great to see this development application has given consideration to our city centre master plan to achieve a people-focused place that’s innovative and connected to plenty of open space," Greiss said.

“Through considered design in prime locations such as this, we can realise our vision for a good life here in Campbelltown where our communities are inclusive, diverse and friendly."

ALAND further plans for $400 million mixed-use Campbelltown development

Busy Sydney developers, ALAND, has secured&nbsp;one of Gosford&rsquo;s most sought-after mixed-use sites, which sold with development approval for two towers.

The 5656 sqm site at 108-118 Mann Street originally launched to the market at The Archibald in 2019, with development approval for a dual tower build comprising 289 apartments, along with a ground floor pub, level 28 sky bar, 167 hotel suites and a range of hotel amenity including an infinity pool, gym and conference hall.

ALAND CEO George Tadrosse confirmed the deal was done via an expression of interest process run by Colliers International which closed at the end of March.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a sensational site right in the heart of Gosford, which is increasingly being seen as a key regional location,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re delighted to have secured the property and look forward to taking the plans for the project forward to deliver a fantastic new addition to the Gosford skyline. Subject to planning, we are looking at launching the project sales in spring and starting construction this year.&rdquo;

The Gosford property is one of the CBD&#39;s last remaining consolidated sites, with street frontages to Mann, Donnison and Baker Streets.

Located close to Gosford&rsquo;s waterfront, the site is also&nbsp;well-connected to key amenities like the Gosford Train Station, Gosford TAFE and the Central Coast Stadium.

The site was demolished in preparation for construction, with the site placed on the market earlier this year.

Tadrosse said his team will now review the project but expects work to begin quickly.

&ldquo;We have an opportunity to make a significant contribution to the city, and we&rsquo;re excited to get this project underway,&rdquo; he added.

ALAND recently launched&nbsp;their $800 million master-planned precinct in Merrylands, in Sydney&rsquo;s west.

There has already been strong demand for the first stage of the project, with the prime 2.5-hectare site, located adjacent to the Merrylands train station, set to deliver 365 apartments across three buildings, up to 20 storeys in height.

The Gladstone Village&nbsp;is a rare offering for Merrylands and one of the last remaining pockets along Sydney&rsquo;s rail network to be developed.

ALAND CEO George Tadrosse confirmed the deal was done via an expression of interest process run by Colliers International which closed at the end of March.

ALAND secures development approved Gosford site

The leading western Sydney developer ALAND is set to deliver an $800 million masterplanned&nbsp;precinct in Merrylands, in Sydney&rsquo;s west.

ALAND&nbsp;has purchased the project &ndash; formerly known as The Opera &ndash; for $75m. It was one of eight development sites up for sale when a receiver was appointed to some parts of the Dyldam Group in January.

The first Stage of the 2.5 hectare&nbsp;development site at 224-240 Pitt Street is currently being rebranded and is scheduled to be released by&nbsp;ALAND&nbsp;in early 2022.

Ryan Lane, ALAND&#39;s&nbsp;Head of Development, described the site&nbsp;as a fantastic acquisition.

&ldquo;In terms of location, you couldn&rsquo;t find better with the site being within strolling distance to a major retail hub and train station, as well as being moments to the beautiful Holroyd Gardens with playgrounds, bike tracks and picnic areas and only a few minutes&rsquo; drive to Parramatta&rsquo;s CBD,&rdquo; Lane said.

The precinct will deliver around 1200 residential apartments set across multiple buildings with a rooftop pool and gardens. The project was unveiled by the Dyldam Group in 2018 but only minor earthworks have been undertaken on the site to date.&nbsp;

The first stage already has approval for 365 apartments set across three buildings and will include approximately 2600 sqm of retail and commercial space, plus basement car park.&nbsp; It will comprise 17 studios, 98 one-bedroom apartments, 219&nbsp;two-bedders,&nbsp;and 31&nbsp;three-bedroom units.

The first stage will include a ground floor central communal space plus two rooftop areas with pool, terrace, barbecue with picnic/seating area. &nbsp;It will be surrounded by generous planting including a communal vegetable and herb garden.

ALAND are expected to appeal to a range of buyers including families.

ALAND bolster 2022 pipeline with $800 million Merrylands precinct

Pent up demand in Sydney has been released at Paramount on Parkes in Parramatta, one of the first apartment buildings to launch sales since Sydney came out of its prolonged lockdown.

The launch of sales at Paramount on Parkes, the 39-level tower&nbsp;to be developed by the well respected and local developer ALAND, saw 25 sales secured over the weekend, with a further 60 appointment scheduled.

ALAND released the first 135 apartments of the 294-apartment tower, designed by Sketch Design Group and Stanisic Architects, which were&nbsp;a hit with investors and owner-occupiers.

They were drawn to Paramount's prime location on the fringe of Parramatta, a stones throw from Parramatta train station&nbsp;and minutes from riverside parks, shopping precincts and a number of fine dining restaurants, bars, and cafes.

The spacious floorplans were also a tick for buyers, as well as the state of the art amenities which will include a resort-style pool on the podium level, a 300 sqm rooftop terrace with barbecue area, lush landscaped gardens with local Western Sydney flora, and resident-only children’s play areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=181002]

Buyers so far have been predominantly young couples&nbsp;and young families in their early and mid 30's, moving to the area from within a 10 kilometre radius of Parramatta.

The first stage will see 10 one-bedroom apartments up for grabs&nbsp;from $573,000,&nbsp;115&nbsp;two-bedroom apartments starting at&nbsp;$767,000, and 10&nbsp;three-bedroom apartments starting at&nbsp;$1.083 million.

ALAND Sales Director, Mark Bernberg, said purchasers are keen to see new supply become available that also represents great value for money.

"Paramount on Parkes has created a lot of buzz among buyers who‘ve spent their lockdown period reassessing what qualities they’re seeking in a home," Bernberg said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164856]

"Given the excellent lifestyle amenities of this flagship development and its very convenient location, it offers an extraordinary move for homeowners and investors alike."

Each apartment is designed to maximise light and space with floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic district views and covered balconies.

Finished with neutral colour palettes so buyers can add their own personal touch, the apartments also have ducted air-conditioning, Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, Grohe tapware and marble surfaces.

Some apartments come with the option of convenient study nooks and additional storage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164848]

Head of Development for ALAND, Ryan Lane, said the premium Western Sydney development had been a passion project for the family-run business, which is also the major sponsor of the NRL’s Parramatta Eels.

“With the ALAND name proudly emblazoned on the jerseys of the local team every weekend, we feel that we’ve earned our place as part of the fabric that makes up Parramatta. The launch of Paramount on Parkes now further cements that position,” Lane said.

Lane added that with Parramatta taking pride of place as Sydney’s second CBD, the dynamic destination has become a highly desirable location for both owner occupiers and investors.

“As the geographical heart of Sydney, Parramatta offers its residents a wealth of cultural, educational and employment opportunities. And with the second airport at Badgerys Creek underway, as well as easy access to other transport links, it will soon offer locals even more convenient travel connections,” Lane added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164853]

Paramount on Parkes is an approximate 10-minute walk to riverfront reserves or the Parramatta Wharf and is a short stroll from the soon-to-be-completed Parramatta Square employment hub and Civic Centre.

There are a number of local attractions, including&nbsp;Eat Street, Riverside Theatre, the Powerhouse Precinct, walking tracks, cycleways and the 85ha of green space at Parramatta Park.&nbsp;Westfield Parramatta is 600m from the doorstep.

In addition to a number of in-demand public and private schools in the vicinity, Parramatta is also home to campuses for the University of Western Sydney and University of Sydney.

Sales surge at launch weekend of Parramatta apartments Paramount on Parkes

Paramount on Parkes, the latest apartment tower to hit the market in Parramatta, has been&nbsp;strategically located to take advantage of Sydney's second CBD, but on the fringe of the continually expanding area to give it a sense of freedom from the busy city streets.

The glass-swathed tower, which is being developed by ALAND, the main sponsor of the Parramatta Eels, will rise 39 levels from its Parkes Street address, which puts it closer to four parks and reserves than it does the Parramatta train station.

That itself however is just a 600 metre walk to the west, offering commuters who aren't based in the Parramatta CBD an equally convenient commute to work. Two blocks up from Paramount on Parkes is the Harris St Light Rail stop.

To the east of the building, designed by ALAND's inhouse architecture team, is four reserves, including the popular Queen's Wh​arf Reserve on the banks of the Parramatta River. ALAND designed the building having been inspired by the curves of the winding river.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164850]

The foot of the building itself will offer considerable convenience, with a number of street-level retail as part of the entry, flanking the luxury lobby with grand hotel-style marble finishes and soaring ceilings.

Westfield Parramatta is only 600 metres away, the closest retail precinct.

Nearby is the popular&nbsp;Church&nbsp;Street, a famed foodie haven&nbsp;lined with bars, cafes and restaurants like&nbsp;Alex and Co, El-Phoenician,&nbsp;Mama and Papas, Ray and Lou's, Sicilian Parramatta, The Meat and Wine Co and Coco Cubano.

There are no less than seven schools within walking distance, from Parramatta, Arthur Phillip and Macacrthuth Girls High School's, to Western Sydney University's two Parramatta campuses.

Rosehill Gardens, which comes alive on the weekend, is just a few kilometres east of Paramount on Parkes, and CommBank Stadium is less than two kilometres north-west, where ALAND sponsor the Parramatta Eels.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164851]

That sits beside the 85 Parramatta Park, affectionately called the&nbsp;‘people’s park’ for more than 160 years.

It plays host to sporting fields, playgrounds and The Crescent natural amphitheatre for outdoor concerts and events. It also marks the site of Australia’s first inland settlement, on the Burramattagal’s traditional hunting grounds.

Parramatta River is another local attraction with walking tracks and cycleways including the iconic 20km track from Parramatta to Sydney Olympic Park.

Further infrastructure upgrades are expected in the next few years, with the Powerhouse Precinct to welcome a number of new bars and restaurants overlooking the river in 2023.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164852]

Paramount on Parkes also offers residents a number of on site amenities, including a swimming pool and manicured gardens on the podium level.

There will also be a rooftop terrace with kids play area, a fire pit, and barbecue areas.

The foot of the building itself will offer considerable convenience, with a number of street-level retail as part of the entry
