A long-awaited transformation of a former industrial site in Holroyd has been given the green light, with the NSW Government approving the $1.2 billion Crescent Parklands masterplan that will deliver more than 1,200 new homes just south of Parramatta.

The State Significant Development approval clears the way for a large-scale mixed-use precinct at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1-crescent-street-holroyd-nsw-2142">1 Crescent Street</a>, replacing an underutilised site with a coordinated residential community anchored by new open space, retail, and commercial uses.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> for WA-based developer Tiberius, the approved scheme comprises seven buildings arranged across two precincts. In total, the development will deliver 1,227 apartments, including 201 allocated as affordable housing, alongside approximately 2,500 sqm of retail and 5,000 sqm of commercial space within a mixed-use podium.

The project is structured as a masterplanned precinct rather than a standalone tower. Buildings 1 to 4 will rise from a shared podium with shop-top housing, while Buildings 5 to 7 are positioned closer to the northern park interface as residential flat buildings. The built form has been carefully modulated to balance density with amenity, with the design resolving building separation, solar access, and wind impacts at a precinct scale.

A significant focus of the design is the activation of Crescent Street and the integration of public domain. The submission notes that “individual townhouses [were] removed for community based functions to Crescent Street to increase activation and surveillance,” reinforcing a more urban and publicly engaged street edge. Retail, commercial tenancies, and resident amenity spaces are concentrated along this frontage and within the podium to support day-to-day activity.

The landscape strategy underpins the project’s identity, with a network of pedestrian connections, landscaped corridors, and open spaces linking the site internally and to its surroundings. The design prioritises permeability, delivering “increased uninterrupted flow between spaces for pedestrian access” and improved connections through to the adjoining parklands.

Buildings within the western precinct are oriented toward the park, shaping a residential offering defined by proximity to open space. The design describes this approach as creating apartments “immersed in nature with apartments facing the park,” positioning the landscape as a central organising element of the masterplan.

The broader architectural response addresses both infrastructure and context, with taller elements capturing long-range views toward Parramatta while setbacks and separation distances mitigate impacts on surrounding residential areas. Sustainability initiatives, including solar optimisation, cross-ventilation, and integrated landscape systems, are embedded across the scheme.

Located approximately one kilometre south of Parramatta CBD, the 3.6-hectare site is bounded by Crescent Street, Woodville Road, and Holroyd Sportsground. It benefits from strong access to public transport, including nearby bus routes and train stations, and sits within a rapidly evolving corridor earmarked for increased residential density. The design also strengthens connections between surrounding green spaces, including Holroyd Sportsground and Parramatta Parklands.

The approval follows several years of planning, including a rezoning process that enabled significant uplift in height and density across the site. With determination now secured, Crescent Parklands is positioned to play a major role in delivering new housing supply within Greater Parramatta’s growth area.

Tiberius’ Crescent Parklands to deliver over 1,200 homes in major Holroyd transformation

A new State Significant Development application has been lodged over land at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/33-43-marion-street-parramatta-nsw-2150">33–43 Marion Street</a>, Parramatta, proposing a high-rise mixed-use tower that leverages planning incentives to deliver a substantial pipeline of new housing, including a dedicated affordable component.

The scheme, currently on exhibition, combines a shop-top housing development with a concurrent rezoning, positioning the site for a significant uplift in density within Parramatta’s evolving southern CBD fringe.

The proposal, designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fuse-architecture-0">Fuse Architects</a> for CN Marion, would replace the existing buildings with a 37-storey mixed-use tower, delivering 296 apartments above a retail podium with six basement levels on the 2,376 sqm site.

The residential mix comprises 58 one-bedroom, 207 two-bedroom, and 31 three-bedroom apartments, with communal facilities located on the second level and the rooftop. Ground-level activation is driven by retail and food and beverage tenancies, alongside a publicly accessible through-site link designed to improve pedestrian permeability.

The project includes 194 car spaces, five motorcycle spaces, and 348 bicycle spaces, reflecting a transit-oriented approach in a location directly adjacent to the rail corridor and within walking distance of Harris Park Station.

<img alt="First Look: Plans lodged for 37-storey mixed-use tower with affordable housing at 33–43 Marion Street, Parramatta" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3db873ea-62f0-437b-8a6a-eeda154d2dee" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Marion%20building.png?VersionId=YwzBv8OVHwyRnMLGX4slU7QyhTyMZeOX" />

The design adopts a podium-and-tower composition, with a three-storey street wall addressing Marion Street and a reduced two-storey interface responding to adjoining heritage cottages.

A key component of the proposal is the integration of affordable housing under the NSW Government’s in-fill affordable housing pathway, with units to be retained for a minimum of 15 years. This is paired with a broader public domain strategy that emphasises permeability, deep soil planting, and a landscaped through-site link.

“The strategy prioritises a permeable, well-activated public realm and supports a compact tower form to minimise the building’s footprint while enhancing the quality of the ground-level experience,” the design report states.

The proposal includes a central landscaped courtyard, rooftop communal areas, and planting strategies aligned with local environmental conditions and cultural narratives.

The site occupies a prominent corner of Marion and Station streets, roughly 100 metres from Harris Park Station, within a precinct earmarked for significant intensification. While the immediate context is characterised by low- to mid-rise buildings and heritage dwellings, planning controls and recent proposals point to a transition toward high-density development.

A substantial uplift in height and density is being tested in Lane Cove, with a 225-apartment scheme at 300 Burns Bay Road now on public exhibition as a State Significant Development alongside a concurrent rezoning.

The proposal by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/level-33">Level 33</a> would see the demolition of an existing commercial building and associated structures, replaced by a residential development ranging from seven to 15 storeys.&nbsp;

The scheme delivers 225 apartments, including 34 designated as affordable housing, positioning it within the NSW Government’s accelerated Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

The development is arranged as three interconnected residential flat buildings, a response to the site’s long, narrow configuration and sloping topography.&nbsp;

<img alt="First look: 225-apartment Lane Cove tower proposal enters exhibition under State Significant pathway" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c325d40c-ead5-45f4-9d77-5a446b23acc0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Lane%20Cove%20pers.png?VersionId=hsCJxT5hj.5kzA6AMInyan1x8mcHeRez" />

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/pbd-architects">PBD Architects</a>, the project’s designer, describe a built form that is “divided into three sections, each connected by intermediate infill slots which are recessed to establish greater setbacks and further articulate the development.”

Across the scheme, apartments are supported by communal amenity at ground and rooftop levels, including landscaped open space and a rooftop pool. Basement and lower ground levels accommodate parking, storage, and building services, while a new public park is proposed along the eastern edge of the site, replacing part of the existing built form.

The architectural response has been shaped by the site’s pronounced fall towards the Lane Cove River, with building heights stepping down from west to east to reduce visual bulk and respond to adjoining bushland.&nbsp;

The design report notes that “the development has been carefully designed to integrate with the existing topography with the placement of massing and floor levels adjusted respecting the site’s inherent characteristics.”

<img alt="First look: 225-apartment Lane Cove tower proposal enters exhibition under State Significant pathway" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="31cc13a5-bc8b-4dc3-b9b1-07c6ec33a82b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Lane%20cove%20site.png?VersionId=NiyH3LimQwiHsE6Q7I5g4Grpr5fRdZaX" />

The project is being advanced through a concurrent rezoning process, seeking to increase the permissible height and floor space ratio beyond current Lane Cove LEP controls of 21 metres. Under the proposal, height would reach up to 54.5 metres, reflecting a shift toward higher-density outcomes in well-located urban areas.

Located on a 7,595 sqm site, the development sits within an established high-density residential pocket characterised by mid-rise apartment buildings set within a bushland setting. The site is within close proximity to Burns Bay Reserve, the Lane Cove River, and an extensive network of open space, reinforcing its strategic positioning for increased housing supply.

The developer has over 2,000 apartments in the pipeline, predominantly in Wollongong.

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/31-41-o-hara-street-marrickville-nsw-2204">Third.i</a>&nbsp;has announced a new transport-oriented development in one of Sydney Inner West’s most sought-after metropolitan locations, delivering much needed housing within steps of world-class public transport and vibrant village life.

Located at&nbsp;31-41 O’Hara St,&nbsp;Marrickville, the proposed mixed-use development will include around 300 apartments, with up to 17 per cent dedicated to affordable housing, reinforcing Third.i’s commitment to creating inclusive, well-connected communities that support a diverse mix of residents who keep Sydney’s neighbourhoods thriving.

Located just 100 metres from the new Metro station, the development places residents within minutes of the CBD while offering seamless access to the Inner West’s cafés, retail, and local services. Anchored within a thriving local centre, the project supports everyday living without reliance on cars, while also delivering new public open space for the local community, including a new park and landscaped green areas, alongside high-quality private resident amenities.

Florian Caillon, Head of Acquisitions for Third.i Group, said the project builds on the company’s ongoing work alongside the NSW Government to deliver housing and amenity alongside major transport infrastructure. Amenity includes an activated pedestrianise retail strip that connects Illawarra Road down to the pocket park, and health and wellness facilities.&nbsp;

“Delivering housing of this scale within an established village is a rare opportunity, and few companies have achieved residential outcomes of this size at a village centre," Caillon said.

"We are excited to set a new standard for urban living in the heart of Marrickville,” he said.&nbsp;

The inclusion of affordable housing has been welcomed by frontline workers.

“We are supportive of developments which will allow essential workers like nurses, midwives and carers, the opportunity to live in the communities they care for," said&nbsp;Michael Whaites, General Secretary of the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association..

“Many healthcare workers tell us they would like to live closer to where they work, but are being priced out of the market, forcing them to move further away.&nbsp;

“Dedicated apartments for essential workers will support recruitment and retention in local hospitals and aged care facilities, helping to strengthen our health system.”

The project has been declared State Significant Development (SSD) by the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA).

Sydney developer FYVE headlines over $70 million worth of development applications submitted to the Bayside Council in January.

The Bayside Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) details that by 2036, the Bayside Council local government area will require an additional 28,000 dwellings to accommodate the LGA’s swelling population.

FYVE has&nbsp;lodged plans for an eight-level block at 5-11 Flora Street, Arncliffe, which will have 54 one, two and three-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

There will be a number of communal spaces in the Benson McCormack Architecture-designed building, a central space on the ground floor, and one on the rooftop which will home outdoor seating and extensive landscaping.

<img alt="Image of the Flora St building" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="da11e260-75cb-49e6-8227-aadf1f27bd38" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-02-06%20at%205.15.13%20pm.png?VersionId=vsxSueM_2dRErtzWVu2D3edYIdbWzh4Q" /> 
Image of the proposed Flora Street site.

The Flora Street site is within proximity to a range of public open spaces, including Cahill Park and Discovery Point Park, which are just 700 metres away. Tempe Recreation reserve and Riverine Park are also within walking distance.&nbsp;

Across the road at 12-18 Flora Street, renowned architecture firm Rothelowman has designed another eight-level building, which will have 51 apartments (pictured main).

They designed the apartments to create&nbsp;seamless indoor/outdoor living, with expansive living spaces and open corner balconies.&nbsp;

<img alt="Artist's impression of 12-18 Flora Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2ba659df-0f49-4c95-868a-31592af130af" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-02-06%20at%205.16.28%20pm.png?VersionId=htrUD64gv4EGygvWtbPiKYE3zat1n8nU" />

"The design of 12-18 Flora Crescent is founded in exploring opportunities to maximise the liveability for the residents and create a building that delivers a positive engagement to the public domain through a focus on a “generous eye for life","&nbsp;the design statement signed off by Rothelowman Principal Ben Pomroy noted.

"The prototypical envelope in the Wolli Creek/Arncliffe precinct delivers buildings that create an urban edge interface to the public domain, through tall street walls, and lack of depth to building facades.

"Whilst the landscape character of the new precinct re-establishes itself, this more intense urban environment creates a strong contrast to the existing one of houses and gardens.

"The humble bungalows of the surrounding area, created connectivity to the street through elements such as the porch. These spaces allow residents to sit comfortably within their own private domain, yet still engage with, and interact with the life happening on the street.

A further 47 apartments will rise from 15-17 Kyle Street in the nearby Arncliffe.

Sydney-based architecture group Chanine Design has designed the plans for the owner-occupier focused building, which is nearly 90 per cent two-bed apartments.

The existing building will be demolished to make way for the eight-storey building, which will also include two levels of basement car parking.

The amalgamated lot spans a total area of 1,468 sqm and is located within proximity to the Arncliffe shopping strip precinct, as well as being within walking distance to Arncliffe railway station. A regular bus service also runs along the Princess Highway, providing a number of transport options to the Sydney CBD.&nbsp;

A large common open space is proposed across the ground level, within the north-eastern corner of the site, in addition to a rooftop communal space.&nbsp;

Botany has a fresh development application for two residential buildings at&nbsp;2-4 Bay Street.

The low-rise buildings, four and five-levels, have been designed by&nbsp;BKA and will have just 22 apartments.

Building A will comprise eight three-bedroom apartments, while Building B will consist of four one-bedroom and 14 two-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

The $10 million project sees the buildings divided into two distinct volumes, connected via a highly landscaped walkway. The open lobbies allow for natural ventilation and filtered light, and also allow for a visual connection between the entry of both buildings.

“Divided into two modest building forms, the street facing front block has been defined by its green facade. As well as this, the top level has been further setback to reduce the appearance of the overall height and promotes an articulated 'sky scape'. These setbacks have been used for generous balcony spaces,” BKA noted in their design statement.&nbsp;

A communal open space is set to be located across the ground floor, spanning a total 347 sqm, while Building A will be crowned by a rooftop terrace.&nbsp;

The Bayside Local Strategic Planning Statement details that by 2036, the Bayside Council local government area will require an additional 28,000 dwellings to accommodate the LGA’s swelling population.

Retired NRL legend Greg Inglis continues to shuffle his property portfolio, with the sale of an investment property at Botany.
The former South Sydney Rabbitoh secured $911,000 for the two-bedroom townhouse.
His superannuation fund had bought it for $850,000 in 2015 when it had been a $640-a-week rental.
Inglis offloaded his former Coogee home for $2,475,000 in August last year. He had bought the Coogee semi after his move from Melbourne at the end of the 2010 season.
He paid $1.1 million for what was then a two-bedroom federation home and then transformed the property into a three-level, four-bedroom home, behind its period facade.
The Kempsey-born star, who ­intends to come out of retirement for Warrington in next year’s UK Super League, appears on the ABC’s Australian Story on Monday addressing his challenges with mental health issues.
The 33-year-old reveals how he was gripped by alcoholism and ­depression whenever he was injured and then after his retirement.

The construction of Finnie's Buildings provides evidence of the retail infrastructure that was necessary to support the needs of the growing residential population by the turn of the 20th century.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/12/5/1094%20-%201098%20Botany%20Road%20Botany%20.jpg" alt="">

It is currently made up of three retail shops with an office and three apartments upstairs, netting in total $151,275 per annum.
There's development approval to convert the building in to 35 self-contained rooms designed by Giles Tribe Architects.

Sydney Roosters young gun Joseph Manu has bought his first home in the rival club’s Rabbitoh's heartland.
The 22-year-old winger has spent $1.15 million on a Botany apartment. It’s set on the first level of the recently completed Magnolia building of Tailor’s Walk, an urban village complex developed by Frasers Property.
Marketed by Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agents Tristan Oddi and Debbie Donnelley as having house-size proportions, the 160sq m apartment has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen comes with a butler’s pantry. Wall-to-wall glass opens to a full-size alfresco entertainers’ terrace.
Manu (pictured), who joined the Roosters in 2016 and has extended his contract to the end of the 2020 season, joins teammate Latrell Mitchell as a first-home buyer.
The Origin shoo-in spent $1.45 million on a 2015-built, four- bedroom home in Chifley, just before the Roosters’ 2018 grand final victory.
Fellow Rooster Victor Radley spent $1.2 million on a Bondi apartment, having previously scoped out an apartment in Double Bay.
Last year Roosters emerging star Ryan Matterson spent $915,000 on a new apartment in Botany.
The 23 year old utility bought in the Frasers Property developed The Martin, surrounded by gardens in the Tailors Walk community.
The unit has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study area and an alfresco balcony with CBD views. 
Martin Property Zetland agents David Bettini and Peter Turner had a guide of $880,000 to $960,000.
It first sold off the plan in 2015 at $915,000 to a Chinese buyer.
Roosters star fullback James Tedesco, who has built an impressive property portfolio, has quietly bought his first eastern suburbs property. Tedesco had been renting in Bondi Beach before settling in Rose Bay, where he paid $1.75 million for a two-bedroom, two-level updated apartment with 115sq m of landscaped terraces.
Veteran backrower Mitch Aubusson also bought in the east, spending $1.45 million on a two-bedroom unit in North Bondi, and promptly found a tenant at $995 a week, reflecting a 3.5 per cent yield.

Set on the top floor in a boutique block spanning three levels, the apartment features an open plan living and dining area opening to a balcony with a leafy outlook.
The last sale in the late 1960s block was earlier this year when a three bedroom apartment fetched $710,000.
The apartment goes to auction November 24 through NG Farah Coogee agents Joe Recep and Stephanie Farah.
Warren joined Nine Network in 1991 calling schoolboy football and lower grade grand finals before becoming the understudy of dad Ray 'Rabbits' Warren.
