Developer Third.i has topped out its luxury Potts Point apartment development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/muse-potts-point-30-34-brougham-street-potts-point-nsw-2011">Muse</a>.

Under construction by Dilcara and expected to complete in mid-2026, Muse comprises just 13 apartments designed by acclaimed architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/wmk-architecture">WMK Architecture</a> and Mathieson. The building’s design celebrates Potts Point’s heritage character while introducing refined modern elements like advanced building technology and private balconies and terraces that offer views of the Sydney city skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112613 project_image_fid=231687]

Luke Berry, Director &amp; Co-Founder at Thirdi Group, said Muse is a celebration of Potts Point’s unique character and charm.

"With only 13 residences, we’ve created something truly special for those who appreciate exclusivity and design excellence," Berry says"

"The views, the location, and the lifestyle make Muse a rare opportunity in Sydney’s property market. We’re thrilled to see the project take shape and look forward to welcoming our residents in mid-2026.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112613 project_image_fid=231686]

Only a limited number of residences remain at Muse.

Third.i recently launched The Rushcutters nearby, also just 13 large-scale apartments. The two-bedroom apartments were all snapped up in double-quick time. The three-bedroom apartments are priced from just under $5 million.

Potts Point has always been popular for apartment living, but given the lack of suitable development sites in the affluent suburb, new apartment developments have been few and far between.

Early next year Ceerose will launch <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/belgravia-potts-point-117-victoria-street-potts-point-nsw-2011">Belgravia</a>, a mix of two- and three-bedroom apartments on Victoria Street.

Third.i tops out Muse, Potts Point apartments

Buyer interest in Capital Corporation’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-residences-at-wahroonga-estate-169-fox-valley-road-wahroonga-nsw-2076">The Residences at Wahroonga Estate</a> has been gaining momentum following the recent groundbreaking and the commencement of construction.

Enquiry data has pointed to a clear theme: larger apartments are leading demand, particularly among downsizers who want to remain on Sydney’s Upper North Shore.

Since June, three-bedroom layouts have attracted the highest level of enquiry. The three-bed, two-bath, two-car apartments priced from $1.69 million generated the most enquiries, the highest of any floorplan, followed by the larger three-bed garden residences which are priced at $2.25 million.

It's been a prevailing theme for Capital Corporation, who, in the early stages of marketing, reacted to buyer feedback to create more three-bedroom apartments.

The numbers echo what <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/capital-corporation">Capital Corporation</a> has observed since the project’s early stages. Buyers want generous internal space, established amenity and the ability to age in place without leaving the area.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135247 project_image_fid=284378]

Capital Corporation Managing Director Jim Hunter said this was a major factor in the estate’s momentum, noting that “the combination of premium design, convenience and direct access to Sydney’s leading private hospital has proven to be a major drawcard”.

That connection to health and wellbeing has proven especially influential for older owner-occupiers. Research commissioned by Capital Corporation found that one in three Australians downsizing do so for health-related reasons, with a third specifically seeking proximity to medical facilities.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135247 project_image_fid=262185]

The buyer profile emerging at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/wahroonga-nsw-2076">Wahroonga</a> Estate reflects this shift. Local residents Peter and Corinne Collins, both in their mid-70s, are among those who chose to downsize within the suburb after decades in their family home. They secured a top-floor three-bedroom apartment after queuing on launch day in March, citing the bushland setting, walkability, and peace of mind of being close to medical services as key reasons for their purchase.

“Being able to walk everywhere, including to the hospital if we need to, really gave us peace of mind,” Corinne told Apartments.com.au.

Architecture firm <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/group-gsa">Group GSA</a>&nbsp;are behind the design at The Residences at Wahroonga Estate. There are 128 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, complete with interiors&nbsp;by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/coco-republic-interior-design">Coco Republic</a>. Floor-to-ceiling glass maximises views of the bushland ridgeline, while on-site amenity includes a residents’ lounge, pet-friendly Green Spine, BBQ pavilion and direct access to Coups Creek bushland and walking tracks.

Gold Star iCIRT-rated builder&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/dasco-australia">DASCO</a>&nbsp;was&nbsp;appointed earlier this year to deliver The Residences at Wahroonga Estate. They are expected to complete the building in late 2027, with residents to move in shortly after.

Downsizer demand continues to shape The Residences at Wahroonga Estate

With Brisbane’s housing market soaring and home ownership becoming increasingly out of reach for many buyers, townhouses have emerged as the new urban dream, offering private, low-maintenance retreats complete with pools, parklands, and lifestyle amenities.

As Brisbane faces a growing shortage of quality new residential offerings, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/honeycombes-property-group">Honeycombes Property Group</a> has released to the market Songbird Terraces, a boutique development of just 34 terrace homes in the heart of the leafy residential enclave of Oxley.

Offering a more affordable option to the white picket fence house, buyers can purchase a brand new architecturally designed three bedroom terrace home overlooking park and bushland with a communal heated pool, BBQ terrace, private parklands and an on-site café, while being just minutes from <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/oxley-qld-4075">Oxley</a>’s village centre, train station, and a range of schools and amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149443 project_image_fid=5241]

Each of the spacious three bedroom plus multi purpose room or four bedroom townhomes feature premium finishes, landscaped courtyards, designer kitchens, two-car accommodation, and optional upgrades for tailored living.

Honeycombes Property Group Managing Director Peter Honeycombe said with completion anticipated in early 2027, this was an incredibly rare chance to buy a fixed-price, brand-new, off the plan home in one of Brisbane’s most tightly held and liveable suburbs, without the stress of auctions and chaotic open homes.

“With prices starting from $1.195 million, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/songbird-terraces-oxley-10-honeyeater-circuit-oxley-qld-4075">Songbird Terraces</a> are designed for owner occupiers seeking space, style and lifestyle, without the maintenance,” Honeycombe said.

“Surrounded by natural bushland and close to manicured parks, walking trails, boutique shops, cafes, cinemas and golf courses, Oxley continues to stand out as one of Brisbane’s most liveable suburbs.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149443 project_image_fid=355541]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> Residential Director Andrew Scriven said with a limited number of homes available, Songbird Terraces was attracting strong interest from families, upsizers, first home buyers and downsizers looking for quality, location and long-term value.&nbsp;

“Demand is high, supply is low, and the market is crying out for high-quality homes in established well connected areas like Oxley,” Scriven said.

“What was once seen as a compromise between a house and an apartment a townhouse has now become a lifestyle choice, more and more homebuyers are shifting their focus from traditional detached houses to modern, low-maintenance townhouses that offer greater value and convenience.

“As the city’s population grows and urban sprawl becomes less sustainable, Brisbane’s townhouse market is set to expand even further.&nbsp;

“There’s definitely a panic from buyers who’ve been pushed out of the house market but still want to stay in well-connected suburbs with great schools and amenities, they are worried they will miss out as property prices continually rise.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149443 project_image_fid=5238]

After eight years of calling Australia home, Agnes Skoraczewska and Matt Biskupski decided it was finally time to take the next step and purchase a home of their own. With property prices continuing to climb, the couple didn’t want to wait any longer and secured a three-bedroom plus multi purpose room townhouse at Songbird Terraces, locking in a fixed price ahead of their move in 2027.

“The truth is, we didn’t want to wait any longer,” Biskupski said. “Seeing what was happening in the market, we realised now was the right time to buy. It gives us peace of mind knowing we no longer have to worry about renting.”

When they discovered Songbird Terraces, the decision came easily.

“The area is lovely and quiet, yet still so close to the city, it’s the perfect balance for work and life,” Skoraczewska said. “It’s a place where we can recharge our batteries while staying connected to everything we need.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149443 project_image_fid=5237]

For Agnes and Matt, buying off the plan offered the ideal solution, the confidence of securing their dream home at today’s prices, and the excitement of planning for the future in a community that perfectly fits their lifestyle.

As the final residential precinct within the Songbird Oxley master plan, Songbird Terraces will continue to breathe new life into the area and help create a suburb destination rich in lifestyle amenity.

Colliers Residential Director Lily O'Connell said Songbird is positioned to take full advantage of elevated north and east-facing parkland views, the homes feature low-maintenance design and high energy efficiency to reduce ongoing costs while enhancing everyday comfort.

“And with an array of layouts, catering to a diverse range of lifestyles this is an offering for all,” O'Connell said.

“This is the final release in a masterplanned community that’s become one of Oxley’s most desirable addresses, offering a last chance to enter this community where opportunities are few and far between.”

The homes will be delivered by Clearcon Builders, specialists in premium townhome construction. They will commence construction before Christmas, and is aiming to complete the development in early 2027.

Townhouse living, Brisbane’s new affordable urban dream?

Kirra Beach has been hot property since the onset of the pandemic in early 2021.

Development sites were snapped up, projects sold out, and many of those developments are now beginning to be handed over to purchasers.

The latest entrant to Kirra, timing its arrival perfectly with little to no new off the plan apartment stock currently on the market in the area, is <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/pyco-group">Pyco Group</a>, which is expanding its South East Queensland footprint through projects such as Atelier in West End and Nouveau in Albion, both currently under construction and scheduled for completion next year.

They recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/onde-kirra-10-churchill-street-kirra-beach-qld-4225">Ondé Kirra</a>, quietly set on Miles Street just a stone’s throw from the sand and the world-renowned surf break at Rainbow Bay.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143621 project_image_fid=337600]

The current release focuses on a wide variety of three-bedroom configurations, from layouts starting at $1.89 million and offering nearly 130 sqm of space, to larger three-bed options approaching 160 sqm and oriented north-east to capture views over the ocean and the length of the Gold Coast skyline.

Each apartment follows a layout that prioritises light, airflow, and connection to the outdoors. Interiors are shaped by a warm, coastal-inspired palette that balances soft neutral tones with natural timbers. Kitchens feature premium finishes and flow directly into dining and living zones, framed by full-height glazing. Many apartments offer wraparound views and corner orientations to maximise natural light from multiple angles.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143621 project_image_fid=337613]

There are just 90 apartments in the 14-storey building designed by DAH Architecture.

Beyond the apartments, Ondé’s offering is rounded out by a series of resident-only amenities designed for comfort and practicality. These include a fitness studio, outdoor pool, co-working pods, and lush communal spaces on the ground floor.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143621 project_image_fid=337597]

Rawcorp kicked off construction on site just over three months ago, demolishing the two houses and two original walk-up unit blocks.

The award-winning construction firm is expecting to complete Ondé&nbsp;in mid-2027.

The Wentworth Park Sporting Complex and its immediate surrounds will make way for new housing and sporting facilities, the latest rezoning play by the Minns Labor Government to meet Sydney's housing supply crisis.

The 3.3-hectare Wentworth Park Sporting Complex will be&nbsp;converted into community sporting fields and public green space, allowing for the rezoning of the surrounding area to support up to 2,500 additional well-located homes.

These are in addition to the 4,800 homes already planned or approved nearby, including around 2,000 homes on the old Sydney Fish Market and neighbouring sites, bringing the precinct total to as many as 7,300 new homes.

Read more:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/mirvac-to-develop-over-1-400-new-homes-on-former-sydney-fish-market-site">Mirvac to develop over 1,400 new homes on former Sydney Fish Market site</a>

In addition to the new housing and sporting facilities, the Wentworth Park precinct will be immediately adjacent to transport links including a new ferry stop at Sydney Fish Markets, an upgraded light rail station at Wentworth Park, a continuous 15-kilometre coastal boardwalk from the Blackwattle Bay to Woolloomooloo, and the Pyrmont Metro station, which is set to open in 2032.

When the current greyhound lease expires in September 2027, the existing facilities will be demolished and the land transferred to the City of Sydney to be converted into community sports fields. Current estimates suggest around 20 additional sport fields are required in the city area by 2031 in order to meet the needs of the sporting community.

The new 14-hectare park will also be made available for hosting festivals and community events as a condition of the transfer to ensure the new harbourside parklands can be utilised by the whole community.

“We recognise Wentworth Park holds deep history and meaning for many people, and we know some will be disappointed by this change," NSW Premier Chris Minns said, adding however that "cities change, and we&nbsp;have a responsibility to plan for the future.

“Right in the middle of Sydney and connected by rail, light rail, ferries and the future Metro, our plan for the future of Wentworth Park will deliver much-needed new housing while also providing up to 20 new community sporting fields.

“This is more homes, more playing fields and better public spaces, alongside the infrastructure that makes neighbourhoods work. This is homes and community facilities delivered together, not one without the other.”

“This is how we build a fairer and more balanced Sydney. By creating new housing in well-serviced areas, instead of pushing growth to places without the transport and infrastructure to support it.”

Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully said&nbsp;Wentworth Park has a long and proud history.

"Today we’re securing its future for the next generation," Scully said.

"This plan keeps land in the public hands and delivers new homes, new sporting facilities and new open space for a community that is growing fast. Our city is changing, and we have a responsibility to make sure people can live near the jobs, education and transport they rely on. We’ll continue working closely with the City of Sydney to deliver this rezoning in a timely way, and we’re ready to step in with a State-led rezoning if it’s needed."

John Wacker, the Hong Kong-based lawyer, has bought in Brisbane's west.
He's recently settled on a $4.1 million acreage in Brookfield.
The hilltop home, known as Lani Mauna, Hawaiian for “mountain reaching heaven”, had been on the market for over a year.
It was designed by architect Tim Ditchfield with strong references to modern tropical architecture after the one hectare block traded for $1.5 million in 2011.
Built with a no expense spared budget, Lani Mauna has five bedrooms, a library, home office, gym, temperature controlled wine cellar and a 22 metre infinity edged solar heated pool.
Johnston Dixon agent Josephine Johnstone-Rowell sold the home.
Wacker, who has been at Bank of American since 2005, owns a $3.28 million Noosa home.

Brookfield Residential Properties’ Managing Director, Lee Butterworth said more than $173 million of luxury apartments have now sold at Gallery House.
"The opportunities to secure such generously-sized luxury riverfront apartments in the current market are extremely limited, and as a result, we are seeing increasing enquiry from buyers wanting to secure their own private oasis close to the city centre," he said.
"Sales to date have predominately been to owner-occupiers, including empty nesters looking to make the move from a home to an apartment and professionals wanting to be close to the city centre."
Two bedroom apartments are prices from $565,000; three-bedroom from $865,000; and four bedroom from $1,195,000.

ISPT Property and Brookfield's joint venture development at 405 Bourke Street officially commenced construction yesterday, and Urban.com.au was onsite to witness this significant milestone.

Taking place on level six of the existing car park that forms part of the first phase of the site's development dubbed The Foundry, 405 Bourke Street's launch event offered attendees a glimpse into the heart of the construction site with footing works in full swing.

Also in attendance were representatives from the development partners which included Brookfield's Managing Partner Sophie Fallman, Brookfield's Head of Development (Australia) Carl Schibrowski,  ISPT CEO Daryl Browning plus Matthew Kandelaars,The Property Council of Australia's Acting Victorian Executive Director.

<figcaption>L-R: Matthew Kandelaars (PCA), Daryl Browning (ISPT), Sophie Fallman &amp; Carl Schibrowski (Brookfield)</figcaption></figure>Designed by Woods Bagot, 405 Bourke Street will eventually stand as a 39-storey building which encompasses 31 levels of A-Grade office accommodation. A side core configuration has allowed for 66,491 square metres of net leasable area, supported by three levels of retail and 177 car parking spaces.

ISPT Property acquired a 50% stake in the development - which will also feature a north-south retail laneway linking Bourke Street and Little Collins Street - in December 2017.

The development partners have already secured NAB as the anchor tenant, who committed to a minimum of 43,000 square metres of space, with an option to occupy the balance of floor space. NAB's flexibility option has yet to be acted upon.

<figcaption>On site at 405 Bourke Street.</figcaption></figure>While official construction on the "transformative commercial project" was celebrated yesterday, ground works have been in motion over recent months. A major construction marker will occur this Thursday with a raft slab pour planned; 800 cubic metres of concrete - the equivalent of 200 concrete trucks - will form the major foundation point for the tower.

Typical office floors will be supported by steel-framed structure over the alternative concrete column and floor format. Another challenge looms in the form of the cantilevering floor plates 48 metres above ground, jutting over the adjacent 399 Bourke Street. 

405 Bourke Street is scheduled for completion in March 2021.

Rob Shand, the former boss at asset management giant Blue Sky, and wife Anna, have moved closer to Brisbane following the sale of their Pullenvale home.
They've been reported to be the buyers of the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property/209-moons-lane-brookfield-qld-4069" target="_blank">Pullenvale home</a> of Brisbane wholesaler Doug Rylance and wife Chrysanthe.
They paid $2.4 million for the home back in 2009 shortly after it was remodelled.
The four bedroom, three bathroom home on over 1.1 hectares wasn't publicly marketed (above), but locals believe the price will be around $3 million.
The grounds features a 14 metre swimming pool with separate pavilion, a tennis court with self-contained pavilion and a 60 x 20 metre dressage arena that adjoins fenced paddocks.
There's American barn-style stables and storage and 100 year old Hoop Pines on the property.
It sits just six kilometres away from the Shand's former home which they sold recently.
The five bedroom Woodfield Road home, which also featured a swimming pool and tennis court, has been sold to interests associated with Morgans broking analyst Scott "Scooter" Murdoch
The Australian Financial Review noted a priority notice had now been registered on the title of the Woodfield Road property in the name of Murdoch's partner, Shontelle Thomas. 
Around $1.5 million was expected for the home bought for $993,000 back 2013.
Shand stepped down from the role of chief executive of Blue Sky in April.

Construction has begun of Gallery House One, a $140 million tower in the $5 billion Northshore Hamilton riverfront precinct near Brisbane.
The investment by Brookfield Residential Properties' has tipped over $830 million.
Galley House One sales have reached over $100 million, with 80 percent of the 20 level tower sold. 
The tower comprises one, two, three and four bedroom apartments. Remaining apartments in the building start from $419,000, with two penthouses still available starting from $2,295,000.
A residents-only rooftop crowns Gallery House One and is complete with a 20 metre infinity pool, lounge and barbecue area.
The project's second and final tower, known as Gallery House Two (below), comes to the market with $34 million in sales from registered buyers.
<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/2017/12/6/Gallery%20House%20Two.jpg" alt="">
Brookfield Residential Properties general manager Lee Butterworth said the success of the project proved that quality, riverfront property was in high demand in Brisbane.
"Gallery House has been a stand-out performer in the Brisbane apartment market, quickly gaining a reputation for luxury, riverfront living that offers city conveniences in a tranquil setting," he said.
"Turning the sod on Gallery House One is a major milestone - made all the more significant by the fact we have simultaneously successfully launched the second phase of the project, Gallery House Two.
"We have partnered with Multiplex to build these apartments to the highest standard and are looking forward to delivering our buyers their dream home."
Brookfield Residential Properties is the most active developer in the Northshore Hamilton precinct, having already delivered six apartment buildings as part of its neighbouring Portside Wharf retail and residential community.
Butterworth said the company's footprint in Northshore Hamilton would ultimately total $1.3 billion - making up a fifth of the entire $5 billion urban renewal project - the largest of its kind in Queensland.
"Brookfield recognised the potential of the Hamilton riverfront early and moved to control up to six hectares of unused State land that we have transformed from a disused industrial area into a thriving waterfront community," he said.

Construction commences on Brookfield's Gallery House

<html><body>
Australian contractor Brookfield Multiplex is dropping Brookfield from its name and rebranding to Multiplex while still remaining a Brookfield company. 
Multiplex is owned by Brookfield Business Partners, the flagship listed entity of Canadian private equity firm Brookfield Asset Management.
The construction company was bought by Brookfield Asset Management for more than $4 billion in 2007.
John Flecker, chief executive officer of Multiplex Australasia, said, “This is a time for us to rebrand and to ensure our own unique construction identity both within the Brookfield group and with our external stakeholders as a global construction business.” 
“Aside from our name and logo changing, it’s business as usual. There are no operational or organisational changes being made.” 
Multiplex was established in 1962, and its projects are worth US$66.2 billion, according to a press release.

Brookfield Multiplex rebrands to Multiplex, no change in ownership

<html><body>
Cbus Property is set to kick off construction on arguably its two most prized Melbourne developments.

447 Collins Street has landed builder Brookfield Multiplex in an early contractor involvement role, with works to begin during September. Usurping 447 Collins Street with an August construction start will be Classic East Melbourne, with the ultra high-end residential development looking to take advantage of strong demand for luxury apartment living.

Prompting 447 Collins Street's move to construction is news that law firm King &amp; Wood Mallesons will anchor the commercial aspect of the development by taking 8,300sqm or 20% of the 49,000sqm of leasable commercial space available.

<figcaption>Collins Arch edges closer to reality</figcaption></figure>The development team will push for the project to become Melbourne's first <a href="https://www.wellcertified.com/well">WELL Building Standard</a>-rated commercial tower. A WELL rating pertains to a given building's built environment health with behavior, operations and design taken into account. With a 2019 completion date set, King &amp; Wood Mallesons staff will be among the many white collar workers within 447 Collins Street which will also sport extensive end of trip facilities.

With 447 Collins Street locked into construction Cbus Property and agent Colliers International will focus on leasing the balance of commercial space still available, whilst also preparing to launch the residential aspect of the project which will be known as Collins Arch. Marketing for the 205 luxury apartments will begin during September.

Meanwhile construction works are to commence next month on Cbus Property's Classic East Melbourne apartment project. The ultra-luxury development valued at $160 million is a joint venture with global property player Brookfield, finally realising plans to develop sites either side of the Pullman Hotel on East Melbourne's Wellington Parade.

Brookfield's entry into the Melbourne apartment market follows on from its acquisition of Thakral Holdings which initiated plans to develop the land holding the best part of a decade ago.

<figcaption>Mosspenoch and 22 Clarendon in view. Image: CBUS Property</figcaption></figure>Aimed squarely at the higher end buyer, apartments within the tri-building project will be priced between $1.4 million and $6.5 million.

Lovell Chen have devised apartments within the 1882 Mosspenoch building. Originally designed by Charles Webb, the grand home will now be refashioned into six three bedroom apartments of between 167 to 273sqm. Modern additions are by Bates Smart and take the form of a seven level building at 22 Clarendon Street and a fourteen level build dubbed Parade fronting Wellington Parade.

Dwellings within 22 Clarendon Street maintain average internals of over 200sqm whilst Parade with 49 apartments included, is topped with a garden penthouse holding 306sqm of internal living space.

Overall Classic East Melbourne will encompass 67 apartments with project completion set for early 2018.
