<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/draycon">Draycon Building</a> is nearing completion of Boutique Chevron Island, a 42-apartment development on the northern end of Chevron Island at 17–19 Parneno Street, with a limited-time offer of fully furnished apartments available.

Now more than 90 per cent complete, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/boutique-chevron-island-17-19-parneno-chevron-island-qld-4217">Boutique</a> has been shaped by one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held island addresses, where riverfront outlooks and walkable access to Surfers Paradise converge.

For Draycon Building Managing Director Howard Dabit, the appeal of the site was immediate.

“I knew it was a good site as soon as I saw it,” Dabit said.

“The position and location on the north end of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>, the way the river swirls around the site basically from the north to the east, it feels like the site is surrounded by the water. The height that we’ve got and the aspect looking north is beautiful. Eighty per cent of the apartments are looking north so they get that drenching sunlight coming in.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360922]

That northern orientation places the development within a stretch of Chevron Island defined by open river aspects and skyline views, while remaining embedded in the suburb’s established village setting.

Chevron Island has increasingly drawn owner-occupiers seeking centrality without the intensity of high-rise beachfront living. Positioned at the geographical centre of the Gold Coast, the island offers direct access to both the beach and key cultural infrastructure while retaining a neighbourhood-scale character.

Connected by bridge to Surfers Paradise, Chevron Island offers walkable access to beaches, riverfront parklands and a revitalised foreshore boulevard animated by walkers and cyclists throughout the day. The Pacific Ocean is only minutes away, reinforcing the suburb’s dual river-and-surf identity.

At the same time, Thomas Drive forms the spine of the island’s village life, delivering cafés, wine bars, casual dining and everyday services within easy reach. Independent grocers, wellness operators and neighbourhood retailers contribute to a community atmosphere that remains distinct from the vertical scale of the beachfront.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360915]

In the opposite direction, the Green Bridge links directly to HOTA – Home of the Arts – placing galleries, performance venues and parklands within walking distance. Weekly markets and major exhibitions draw visitors from across the region, while residents return to a quieter residential pocket at day’s end.

Public transport, including nearby bus routes and the G:link light rail corridor along the coastal spine, strengthens connectivity north and south. Griffith University, the Gold Coast University Hospital precinct and established private schools such as The Southport School are all within a short drive.

Ongoing investment across Surfers Paradise, HOTA and the broader Southport corridor has elevated amenity while preserving Chevron Island’s comparatively low-rise residential character. It is this balance, walkable village atmosphere paired with metropolitan-scale infrastructure, that continues to differentiate the suburb from higher-density beachfront precincts.

Boutique comprises just 42 residences, designed to maximise river and skyline outlooks within this tightly held island setting.

Boutique Chevron Island is slated for completion in April 2026, with prices starting from $1,220,000.

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> has secured planning approval for a $300 million residential development in Lindfield, marking the company’s second project on Sydney’s North Shore and its first on the Upper North Shore.

Located on Beaconsfield Parade and designed by DKO Architecture, the state significant development comprises three buildings of up to 10 storeys and will include 399 residences, including 59 affordable homes and 40 adaptable homes.

Residences will range in size from one, two and three bedrooms, with two-bedroom apartments accounting for over 60 per cent of the product make-up. Residents will have access to a broad suite of amenities, including a wellness area, indoor and outdoor recreational spaces, a pool, a gym, a community room and a golf simulator.

In line with Deicorp’s long-standing focus on creating transit-oriented communities, the project is located just 260 metres from the Lindfield Train Station, reinforcing its role in delivering well-connected housing close to established infrastructure, retail and local services.

The inclusion of affordable and adaptable housing supports greater diversity within the local market, while the mix of apartment types responds to demand from downsizers, young professionals and families seeking access to the Upper North Shore.

Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri OAM said the approval represents an important milestone for both the company and the suburb

“This approval allows us to deliver well-designed homes in a location that is already supported by strong transport and community infrastructure," Deiri said.

"Our focus is on creating places that integrate into their surroundings and provide long-term value for residents, and the broader Lindfield community. Being within walking distance of the station ensures this project supports sustainable growth in the right locations."

Across its portfolio, Deicorp currently has 4,703 apartments under construction, playing a leading role in shaping connected, liveable communities across Sydney.

Its expanding portfolio of Metro-linked developments includes Tallawong Village, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-five-dock-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> in Five Dock, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hyde-metropolitan-sydney-133-141-liverpool-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Hyde Metropolitan</a> in Sydney CBD, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/falcon-alexander-crows-nest-8-alexander-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Falcon &amp; Alexander</a> in Crows Nest and Showground Village, Castle Hill.

Deicorp purchased the Beaconsfield Paradise site last year. Construction is scheduled to commence in Q2 of 2026 and will be completed in 2029.

In a joint venture with The Trump Organization, Australia developer Altus Property Group has announced plans to bring a Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower to the Gold Coast, marking the first Trump-branded project in Australia.

"Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast is our first official project in Australia and reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering world-class luxury experiences in iconic locations around the world," Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, said.

"This development exemplifies the Trump brand’s dedication to quality, sophistication, and unmatched service, and we are thrilled to bring this vision to the vibrant Gold Coast community."

The 91-storey building, which will become the tallest in Australia at 335 metres, will feature a&nbsp;285-room luxury hotel bearing the trademark Trump logo. It will also include 272 luxury residential apartments, a three-level podium with an exclusive Beach Club, and over 3,400 sqm of premium commercial, retail, and dining space, revitalizing the central Surfers Paradise precinct.

“Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast will be a truly unique offering in the Australian market, bringing the prestige and allure of a world-class luxury brand,"&nbsp;Altus founder and chief executive David Young said.

"Altus Property Group is proud of its track record in delivering landmark developments across Australia, and our expertise ensures this project will be an outstanding success."

More than a century after the Corrimal Coke Works first opened in 1912, the industrial landmark that helped shape the suburb is being reinterpreted as a walkable residential neighbourhood, with Stage One of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-works-stage-one-27-railway-street-corrimal-nsw-2518">The Works</a> now underway at 27 Railway Street.

For 102 years, the site was central to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/corrimal-nsw-2518">Corrimal</a>’s economic and social identity before operations ceased in 2014. Rather than erasing that legacy, developer Legacy Property has embedded it into the masterplan, retaining and reinterpreting elements such as the iconic 1912 brick chimney and sections of the original C1 Coke Oven Battery, alongside the adaptive reuse of the former powerhouse building.

Stage One will introduce 181 apartments across low-rise buildings, offering predominantly two and three-bedroom residences with completion targeted for mid-2027. The scale and configuration reflect a deliberate focus on owner-occupiers, targeting those seeking a lower-maintenance home in a prime location within the northern suburbs of Wollongong.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359833]

Apartments have been designed to maximise natural light and cross-ventilation, with floor-to-ceiling glazing extending living areas onto generous balconies. Engineered timber flooring, induction cooktops and 900mm ovens in larger residences support everyday functionality, while two interior palettes allow buyers to tailor finishes to their preferences. The material selection draws on a restrained coastal language, intended to connect homes to their surroundings rather than compete with them.

The Works forms part of a broader 18-hectare masterplan that will ultimately deliver around 550 dwellings, new parks, and a heritage precinct celebrating the site’s past. More than seven hectares are dedicated to open space, including Southern Park and a Village Green with community gardens and recreation areas. The creek corridor is being rehabilitated with 150,000 native plantings, restoring biodiversity to the site and softening landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359841]

Positioned adjacent to Corrimal Station and within walking distance of Corrimal Town Centre, the precinct places daily essentials, rail connections and local retail within easy reach. Wollongong CBD, including the hospital, university and entertainment venues, sits approximately 6.5 kilometres to the south.

For buyers more familiar with North Wollongong, Corrimal offers a different proposition: a well-established coastal suburb framed by beaches to the east and the escarpment to the west, with a strong sense of local identity shaped in part by the former Coke Works. The Works seeks to reinforce that identity by creating a connected, walkable neighbourhood between coast and escarpment, rather than a standalone apartment complex.

Sustainability underpins the development approach. The Works is targeting Wollongong’s first 5-Star Green Star-rated community, with water-sensitive urban design, recycled materials and energy-efficient buildings integrated across the masterplan. For residents, these measures provide not only environmental benefits but also reduced operational costs and future resilience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359842]

With construction commenced and display materials available to view, prospective buyers can now engage more directly with the project’s vision, reviewing floorplans, material selections and the broader masterplan in detail. For many local homeowners weighing a move, the opportunity to experience how heritage, landscape and contemporary design intersect may help bridge the gap between familiarity and the next chapter.

As Stage One progresses toward its mid-2027 completion, The Works represents a significant chapter in Corrimal’s evolution, transforming a site that once powered local industry into a walkable residential precinct designed for its next generation of residents.

When it comes to developing in Melb​ourne's Bayside region, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lowe-living">Lowe Living</a> knows exactly what buyers want.

With a longstanding presence in the area and a string of sell-out projects, Lowe Living consistently delivers developments that are as sought-after as their predecessors.

Their latest instalment is in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-vic-3188">Hampton</a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-east-vic-3188">&nbsp;East,</a> the same postcode where they have previously delivered Hampton Hill and Oceano. The developer-builder recently commenced construction on its newest project,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marella-hampton-31-35-alicia-street-hampton-east-vic-3188">Marella</a>, a collection of 32 apartments just five minutes from the beach.

Site acquisition is paramount to success. Lowe Living rarely brings a building to market that isn’t within walking distance of essential amenities, whether it be the beach, a prominent retail strip, or a train station. Marella is no exception, located at its Alicia Street address, less than a kilometre from the retail heart of Hampton Street and Hampton Station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358495]

Equally important to Lowe Living is the architecture.

For Marella, they appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, who explains that the architectural vision was to create a contemporary reinterpretation of the Californian bungalow, a style that’s iconic to Hampton’s heritage.

"By borrowing, abstracting, and reinterpreting elements of this quintessential style, such as strong datum lines, articulated columns, exposed structures, and roof tiles, our design strikes a balance between modernity and familiarity," says Cera Stribley.

"This approach ensures that the development is not only visually appealing but also contextually sensitive, resonating with Hampton's existing architectural landscape."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358499]

The building features terracotta brick, soft cream masonry, and exposed metal detailing, giving it a tactile presence that is intended to weather gently over time.

Internally, the focus on lasting quality continues, with two and three-bedroom residences anchored by sculptural stone kitchen islands, natural light, and clearly defined transitions between living, dining, and outdoor spaces.

The layouts have been carefully designed. Open-plan zones extend to private balconies, with light-filled interiors and generous kitchen proportions, supported by Miele wall ovens, induction cooktops, and integrated fridge-freezers. These are not small apartments rebranded as luxury; they have been designed at scale, with ample storage, hotel-style entry access, and secure basement parking provided as standard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358492]

At the uppermost level, Marella’s Signature Collection penthouses offer city or bay views, large entertaining terraces (some with outdoor spas), and elevated finishes, including fully wrapped stone kitchen benches and a Liebherr wine fridge.

Flexible room arrangements allow for a fourth bedroom or secondary living space, sought-after by both empty nesters who want the space when family visits and families with older children.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358498]

A residents’ lounge on the ground floor reinforces the project’s small-community feel. With a fireplace, private dining area, and adjoining terrace, it’s one of several shared spaces that balance amenity with privacy and scale.

Construction has commenced, with completion expected in early 2027.

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."

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.

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 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
