Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

A collection of just 25 large-format apartments and penthouses overlooking Goodwin Park is entering the Coolangatta market, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marea-residences-coolangatta-27-27a-dixon-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Maréa Residences</a> combining a low-density, residential-only approach with uninterrupted park and Pacific Ocean outlooks.

Located at 27 Dixon Street, Maréa comprises three and four-bedroom residences alongside a limited number of dual-level penthouses, with the project positioned between Goodwin Park and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>’s coastal precinct.

Construction has commenced, with completion currently estimated for late 2027. Three-bedroom residences are priced from $1.8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374005]

The project has been designed around its northern outlook across the park, with the building’s architecture, landscaping and material palette intended to establish a connection with the neighbouring green space. The residences have been configured to maximise natural light and views across Goodwin Park towards the ocean.

Inside, the material palette incorporates timber, stone and brushed brass, complemented by curved detailing and ambient lighting. Kitchens and bathrooms carry the same natural material approach, while residences also include basement parking, storage and lift access.

Maréa’s penthouses are arranged over two levels and include private pools, adding another layer to the project’s focus on larger-format apartment living. Across the development, residences are configured with three or four bedrooms rather than the broader mix of smaller apartment types commonly found in larger projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374010]

Resident amenity is concentrated at rooftop level, where landscaped entertaining terraces and pools take advantage of elevated views across Coolangatta and the Pacific Ocean.

The project has so far been particularly well received by local owner-occupiers and downsizers, according to Urban Activation Property Sales and Marketing Director Matt George, with the residential-only format, construction quality and northern park outlook among the features resonating with purchasers.

“The uninterrupted northern aspect overlooking Goodwin Park has been a key point of difference, with buyers attracted to the sense of serenity and open space the park provides, while still enjoying easy access to the ocean and being within walking distance of the lifestyle and amenities Coolangatta has to offer,” George said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374002]

“The combination of high-quality construction, a residential-only building, park outlook and proximity to the beach has resonated strongly with the local downsizer market.”

The Dixon Street address is within walking distance of Coolangatta Beach and the broader southern Gold Coast coastline, including the surf breaks at Snapper Rocks and Kirra. Coolangatta’s cafés, restaurants and retail are nearby, while Gold Coast Airport is also within close proximity.

Maréa Residences brings parkside apartments to Coolangatta

Melbourne developer PDG has secured Victorian Government approval for its $1.5 billion Southbank development <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-1-queens-bridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The One</a>, clearing the way for the long-dormant riverfront site opposite Crown to finally be developed.

The Minister for Planning has approved the project at 1-29 Queens Bridge Street, with the Department of Transport and Planning issuing the planning permit following its assessment.

The approval will allow PDG to develop the prominent 5,059 sqm site with a major mixed-use tower comprising premium apartments, including branded residences, a luxury hotel and boutique office space.

PDG acquired the site in late 2024, with its position directly opposite Crown's main entrance and near Melbourne's Arts Precinct making it one of Southbank's most significant remaining development opportunities.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3933013e-6332-4386-b9be-089df05caf17" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sITIgBqDL0N3VNSMwWEmF5UA.uvcsRyu" />

Designed by COX in collaboration with ODO and PDG, the tower's architecture draws on the movement of the Yarra River, with six vertical pleats running the height of the sculpted facade.

The project will also see the heritage-listed Queens Bridge Hotel restored and incorporated into the development&nbsp;with new hospitality and public uses, including a rooftop venue.

A significant component of The One will be its residential amenity.

More than 5,000 sqm of resident facilities will be delivered across a single level, making it one of the largest consolidated residential amenity offerings proposed in an Australian apartment development.

The planning approval also incorporates a major upgrade of Queensbridge Square, which PDG will deliver in partnership with the City of Melbourne.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="73167fcd-1031-4b6f-a408-a064cfe45ed1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.17%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Pf1AEWxw6SNmBqR0zQW5lyEze.MtxgFp" />

The existing square will be revitalised as a new civic and pedestrian space along the Yarra River, strengthening the connection between the project, Southbank and the riverfront.

PDG Founder and Managing Director Vince Giuliano said the approval represented a major milestone for a site which has remained largely underutilised for more than 15 years.

“This is the most significant Planning Permit approval Melbourne has seen in recent years,” Giuliano said.

“For more than 15 years, this site has remained underutilised. This approval enables us to deliver a project that will contribute meaningfully to the revitalisation of Southbank, restore and reactivate an important heritage building, and create a new civic and hospitality destination for Melbourne.”

The latest approval follows an earlier planning permit issued by the City of Melbourne covering demolition works across part of the site at 9-29 Queens Bridge Street. Those demolition and early works are already underway.

PDG has also started generating early interest in the residential component from owner-occupiers ahead of a planned public launch in early 2027.

PDG secures approval for $1.5bn Southbank apartment development, The One

Local developer Harridan is seeking to turn its Woolloongabba apartment project into the first stage of a broader transformation of Burke Street, using a new 16-storey mixed-use building to establish a greener pedestrian connection toward the rapidly evolving Boggo Road transport and knowledge precinct.

The South East Queensland developer has filed plans for 154 apartments on the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/4-burke-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">southern side of Burke Street</a>, where its proposal has been designed alongside a wider vision by LatStudios for the street.

That vision positions the southern side of Burke Street for buildings of 15 storeys and above, while envisaging lower-rise development of up to five storeys on the northern side to transition into Woolloongabba's existing character housing. It also proposes wider pedestrian verges, deep planting, new street trees and upgrades to the pedestrian approach to Boggo Road Station.

The Harridan development itself has been designed by Brisbane-based Arqus Design and will comprise 154 apartments across 16 storeys. The mix is weighted heavily toward two-bedroom apartments, with 121 proposed alongside 10 one-bedroom and 23 three-bedroom residences. There will typically be around 14 units per floor.

A lower-ground car park and three podium levels will accommodate 156 resident parking spaces, along with visitor and commercial parking. There will also be 154 resident bicycle spaces and 40 visitor bicycle parks.

&nbsp;

Harridan is a family-owned developer and part of the Holmwood Highgate Group, with more than three decades of development activity across South East Queensland. Its portfolio spans residential, commercial and industrial property, with current residential projects including Riverbank on Byron in Bulimba, Esperance Residences in Carina and The Precinct at Kinross Road in Thornlands.

Wooloongabba has been popular for apartment developers, particularly since the announcement of the 2032 Summer Olympics games in Brisbane.

While there have been a lot of development applications, it has failed to materialize into real supply.&nbsp;

Sarazin has been the major player in the area. They are under construction at Murcia Residences, on the fringe of East Brisbane and Woolloongabba. They have just launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-stanley-residences-woolloongabba-8-trafalgar-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">The Stanley Residences</a>, in Woolloongabba on Trafalagar Street. They also have Nuage coming soon on the nearby <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba-qld-4102">Wellington Road</a>.

Chatswood

Independent Sydney property developer Central Element and joint venture equity partner MaxCap Group officially marked the commencement of construction on their $150 million luxury residential development, Ethos Chatswood.

With a billion-dollar portfolio of developments, the privately owned group has delivered more than 500 apartments in almost 20 years across Sydney metropolitan locations.

Ethos was the first residential offering to be released in Chatswood’s CBD in a number of years and is now the first 
development to commence construction.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93751 project_image_fid=213496]

The momentous occasion was commemorated through a ground-breaking event held alongside project leaders and key stakeholders in attendance, including Wayne Chivas and Shane Smollen, Directors of Central Element, Joe Vincent, Director of Direct Investment at MaxCap Group, Adam Haddow, Director of SJB, and Colin Rahim, joint CEO of Growthbuilt.

Wayne Chivas said the months to follow will be an exciting time, and we can't wait to witness Ethos emerge as a stunning addition to the Chatswood skyline

“At Central Element, we strive to create exceptional living spaces that invigorate communities and shape the future of Australian living," Chivas said.

"With Growthbuilt, we have partnered with a team that shares our vision and is committed to delivering exceptional high-quality sustainable buildings."

Demand for the SJB designed collection of ultra-luxury one, two, three and four-bedroom residences has been significant.

In October 2022, off-the-plan sales for Ethos were launched, with 60 per cent of the development sold in the opening weekend.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93751 project_image_fid=213498]

The state-of-the-art display suite located at 3 Spring Street in Chatswood is open daily, providing visual insights into the project, advanced through digital technology where customers can visualise the quality of finishes by viewing the kitchen and bathroom display.&nbsp;

Colin Rahim, joint CEO of Growthbuilt said they are delighted to collaborate with Central Element on Ethos Chatswood bringing our expertise, experience, and passion to deliver a world-class, luxury living experience.

“At Growthbuilt, we share a strong vision with Central Element on creating exceptional living spaces that enrich communities and shape the future of Australian living," he said.&nbsp;

Completion of the development is anticipated for early 2025.

Central Element breaks ground on $150m Ethos Chatswood

National developer Goldfields has secured approval for its 24-level Chatswood tower, The Bryson.

The mixed-use tower, which will offer 70 apartments and commercial spaces, is one of the first approved&nbsp;first approved developments under the Chatswood CBD Planning and Urban Design Strategy.

Colliers are already fielding wide-ranging demand, with onsite demolition due to commence April.

Designed by Make Architects to strike a balance between city living and quiet retreat, <a href="/new-apartments/the-bryson-of-chatswood-871-877-pacific-highway-chatswood">The Bryson</a> will incorporate a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, each with open plan living spaces that open to balconies.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21170 project_image_fid=210274]

CEO of <a href="/developers/goldfields-group">Goldfields</a>, Lachlan Thompson, said approval of The Bryson marked a significant milestone for the increasingly diversified developer and its growing pipeline of projects.

“Sydney’s Lower North Shore has become one of the most sought-after places to live and work in Australia and we see this trend continuing well into the future,” Thompson said.

“We saw an unmissable opportunity to bring high-quality mixed-use residential space to an area that is demanding it.”

Chatswood sits at the commercial and residential heart of Sydney’s Lower North Shore, eight kilometres north of Sydney’s CBD.

The Bryson is situated 400 metres from Chatswood Railway Station and the Westfield Chatswood shopping centre. The Willoughby City Council population forecast for 2023 is 78,783, and is forecast to grow to 87,415 by 2036 – representing 10.96 per cent growth.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21170 project_image_fid=210275]

Ian Bennett, Director of Residential at Colliers, said the <a href="/new-apartments/chatswood-nsw-2067">Chatswood</a> market was going from strength to strength.

“With the launch of The Bryson, this has been the first time in about five years that an apartment project of this scale and calibre has been brought to the Chatswood market from an off the plan perspective,” Bennett said.

Around 30 per cent of The Bryson sold at launch, equating to $25 million in sales. Bennett said the success was an indication of the strong demand for apartments in the Chatswood market.

He said in the last 18 months, sales activity was driven by downsizers and families purchasing three-bedroom, premium apartment stock as an alternative to increasingly expensive existing residential housing.

But early activity in 2023 has seen one-and two-bedroom apartments proving just as popular, with sales at The Bryson spanning a diverse range of product purchased by a wide range of local buyers including first homebuyers, young executives, downsizers and investors. There has even been early interest from FIRB purchasers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21170 project_image_fid=210265]

“At one stage last year, the price gap between existing houses and apartments was over 100 per cent,” Bennett said, suggesting that traditionally that number is around 40 per cent.

"It has probably come back to about a 70 per cent gap this year, but still there is a long way to go for that gap to get back to what we would call normalcy. This shows just how much value for money there is in off-the-plan at the moment compared to existing residential and we are seeing this on the ground in Chatswood.”

Current and prospective buyers were drawn to Chatswood’s close proximity to the CBD and major universities, strong transport connections and growing infrastructure pipeline.

“A lot of the people that we are speaking to are wanting to upgrade, or right-size I guess is more accurate because they’re not of retiree age,” Bennett said.

“These are people who currently live a little further up the train line, up the Pacific Highway in places like Pymble, Turramurra or Lynfield, and they are looking to be more central. Chatswood is almost like a city now, so they see the area as being almost the town centre. The new Metro coming through is seen as a real 
advantage too.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21170 project_image_fid=210267]

Simon Lincoln, Asia Pacific Director at Make, said The Bryson’s striking vertical form would be “a great addition to the Chatswood skyline and deliver beautiful living spaces, prioritising wellbeing for residents with a real focus on space and amenity”.

Exclusive Skyhome and Penthouse residences will feature walls of operable glazing between expansive open plan living spaces and generous balconies, providing panoramic views while retaining privacy.

A pool terrace with rooftop gardens, outdoor furniture, barbecue facilities and sweeping views across the surrounding Chatswood CBD enhances the feel of an urban resort. Ground floor retail will act as a threshold between the vibrant Chatswood neighbourhood and the private residences above. Strata office suites will be located on level 2 and 3.

Goldfields secure approval for Chatswood apartment development, The Bryson

National diversified property developer Goldfields Group has launched it's maiden Chatswood apartment development, The Bryson of Chatswood.

The project, on the Pacific Highway near Beauchamp Park, will comprise 70 one, two and three-bedroom apartments across its 26 levels, including a collection of&nbsp;skyhomes and penthouses.

Located in the heart of Chatswood, the 90 metre tall tower offers expansive views across the Sydney CBD and beyond. Drawing on Sydney’s established narrative, this development embraces its context with a design language inspired by both the industrial ambience and urban vibrancy of its streetscape.&nbsp;

Goldfields CEO Lachlan Thompson said that the launch of The Bryson marked a significant milestone for the increasingly diversified developer.

“We are very excited to mark the latest step in our strategic vision for expanding our presence in New South Wales,” Thompson said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21170 project_image_fid=210270]

“Sydney’s Lower North Shore has become one of the most sought-after places to live and work in Australia and we see this trend continuing well into 
the future.

“We saw an unmissable opportunity to bring high-quality mixed-use residential space to an area that is demanding it. We are thrilled to present our vision for The Bryson at the heart of booming Chatswood.”

<h2>The Design</h2>

Architecture firm MAKE handled the design of The Bryson, noting they&nbsp;designed the building form with four vertical ceramic blades that create a full-height cruciform shape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21170 project_image_fid=210266]

"The blades curate apartment views and define the residential quadrants of the floorplate, while controlling daylight exposure, shading and ventilation.

"Their earthy, terracotta colour will visually ground the building within its local context, taking a cue from nearby brick residential buildings.

There was also a focus on wellbeing in The Bryson, which features&nbsp;communal open areas with a swimming pool, reading lounges, pool deck, outdoor terraces with barbecue facilities, dining areas and fire pit lounges.

"We’ve maximised the podium rooftops to provide amenities to residents, including a lap pool, outdoor dining spaces, a yoga terrace and landscaped terrace gardens," MAKE added.

"We’ve also included landscaping at the ground level and publicly accessible open space that’s shaded by large canopy trees.

"With its projected 5 Star Green Star rating, it will set the standard for future development in the Chatswood area."

<h2>The Location</h2>

The Bryson is located in the heart of Chatswood, offering residents easy access to a range of transport connections. The area is serviced by multiple bus routes and train lines, with Chatswood Station just a short walk away. The M2 Motorway also offers direct access into Sydney’s CBD and beyond.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21170 project_image_fid=210265]

For international travellers, The Bryson offers convenient proximity to both Sydney Airport and Kingsford Smith International Airport. Residents can also take advantage of nearby ferry services which provide direct links to Manly Beach and other popular destinations along the harbour foreshore.&nbsp;

In addition to its excellent transport connections, The Bryson also enjoys close proximity to some of Sydney’s most iconic attractions including Taronga Zoo, Luna Park and Balmoral Beach.

“Chatswood is a mecca of multi-faceted appeal,” Thompson added.

“The area has several quality schools, an abundance of parks and green space, seamless connection to major arterials and transport exchanges and nurtures a thriving commercial landscape which positions it as a suburb of convenience and ample future opportunity.

“We are thrilled to be part of the ongoing evolution of the vibrant Chatswood skyline through the carefully considered design of The Bryson.”

<h2>The Amenity</h2>

Nature is a constant thread through the building’s shared spaces, offering lush garden zones, earthy tones, fresh air and natural light throughout.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21170 project_image_fid=210275]

The rooftop terrace was designed as an urban resort.&nbsp;Offering views across the surrounding Chatswood CBD, the rooftop features a swimming pool, terrace, gardens, barbecue facilities, and outdoor furniture.

Integrating into the vibrant public realm of Chatswood is a ground floor retail offering that acts as a threshold between the neighbourhood and the private residences above. Strata office suites will be located on levels two and three.

<h2>What's on offer</h2>

Colliers Australia are handling the sales, with prices starting from $865,000 for the one-bedroom apartments.

The two-bedroom apartments range in price from $1,195,000 for a unit without parking, to $1,765,000 for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with a parking space.

The largest apartments, the three-beds, start at $2.34 million and rise incrementally to $4.63 million for the sub-penthouses.

Goldfields launch The Bryson of Chatswood apartments

Prominent Australian developer and builders, Coronation Property has announced its continued expansion into Sydney&rsquo;s inner-city ring with the acquisition of a $200 million mixed-use development site in Chatswood.

Located at 57-61 Archer Street, the site sits in the centre of the suburb and across the road from key amenities including Westfield Chatswood and Chatswood Chase. It&#39;s also just&nbsp;a 10-minute walk to Chatswood Station.

Coronation Property will utilise the connected site to deliver a mixed-use precinct with around 2,000 sqm of retail space and 130 residential dwellings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161005]

Head of Urban Transformations at Coronation Property, Aras Labutis said the acquisition represents an important milestone for the company as they continue to focus on mixed-use sites around Sydney.

&ldquo;The Chatswood site presented a unique opportunity for Corontion Property to contribute to what we see as one of Sydney&rsquo;s fastest-growing precincts. With the State and Willoughby Councils committed to further developing Chatswood as a major employment and residential hub, we are excited to respond to the demand for more housing in the area and build upon an already highly sought-after community.&rdquo;

&ldquo;The site is in an ideal location, in a blue-chip area that is currently experiencing extensive investment into its town centre and the surrounding infrastructure. These factors will drive further growth in the area and make Chatswood an excellent opportunity for owner-occupiers and investors,&rdquo; Labutis added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=193243]

Over the last five years, the Council has been in talks with the Chatswood community, developing a strategy to grow the town centre as a major employment hub and a vibrant residential precinct.

Coronation Property&rsquo;s project will tie into the overarching vision to enhance Chatswood&rsquo;s evolving growth strategy, with the group intending to work closely with both the State and Willoughby Council throughout the citywide rezoning process.

&ldquo;The new development represents a continuation of Coronation Property&rsquo;s strategy to focus on transformative placemaking and aspirational inner-city residential projects,&rdquo; said Labutis.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161007]

The Chatswood project further solidifies the group&rsquo;s already robust development pipeline, which currently has over $5.2 billion in major mixed-use projects, including the underway 8 Phillip Street in Paramatta development, Charlie Parker in Harris Park, Mason &amp; Main in Merrylands, Ashbury Terraces in Ashbury and Moore Point in Liverpool.

Construction for the Chatswood site is set to commence in 12 to 18 months, pending development approval.

Coronation Property will utilise the connected site to deliver a mixed-use precinct with around 2,000 sqm of retail space and 130 residential dwellings

Coronation Property acquires $200 million Chatswood development site, expect 130-apartment tower

Central Element has lodged plans for a $150 million mixed-use tower at 15 Ellis Street and 753 Pacific Highway, Chatswood.

Sydney architects, SJB are behind the design of the plans after winning a design excellence competition process endorsed by the Willoughby Council.

The design statement, signed off by SJB&nbsp;Director&nbsp;Adam Haddow, said the tower will be set&nbsp;on a stone base &ndash; a reference to the former rocky ridgelines that Sydney is famous for.

&ldquo;Our proposal has sparked an excitement for the potential of this unique site and the role the project could play in the Chatswood built form milieu,&rdquo; the statement read.

There&rsquo;ll be 49 apartments delivered in the tower, including one one-bedroom, 16 two-bedroom and 32 three-bedroom residences, typically with four apartments per floorplate, each with a corner frontage.

Utilising every square inch was a major design focus for the group, with apartments spanning from 69 sqm to 172 sqm.

&ldquo;We believe that the best residential apartment plans are simple. Straight forward rectilinear geometry helps to deliver spaces that are easy to furnish, are flexible over time and are easy to use. Real Estate is expensive in Sydney &ndash; we need to make every square meter count,&rdquo; the statement added.

There will be some 1200 sqm of retail and commercial space,&nbsp;set out&nbsp;across the podium levels of the tower, as well as dedicated communal facilities planned for levels two and nine,&nbsp;with a wellness centre and communal lounge proposed.

&ldquo;In the current environment where people are spending more time at home, the proposal seeks to provide a unique offering to residents at their doorstep,&quot; the statement continued.

The wellness centre will home a variety of flexible indoor and outdoor spaces, including a spa, change rooms, a gym and a yoga deck. A generous rooftop podium will also be available to residents at this level, with outdoor seating integrated with landscaping to form a series of habited gardens.

The level nine communal lounge will provide additional amenity and space for residents, with a generous balcony space capturing views towards the city.

The tower is slated for completion by 2024. CBRE will be handling the sales of the tower which will launch later this year.

Central Element lodge plans for $150 million Chatswood apartment tower

Sun Property Group, the prominent developer in Sydney&#39;s Lower North Shore,&nbsp;is set to take on one of its highest density projects to date.

They&#39;ve secured a vast development site&nbsp;in Chatswood, which will be their first in the suburb, and are embarking on creating two towers, with around 180 apartments, across the block at 1-17 Bowen Street.

Sun Property Group&#39;s General Manager, Cameron Johnson, says there&#39;s a lot of growth potential in the Chatswood area.

&quot;Naturally as we foresee net migration rising substantially, and workers continue to look for somewhere near employment, we believe Chatswood market has a lot of potential growth,&quot; Johnson told Urban.

While pivoting away from their more traditional boutique developments, some of which offer just a handful of apartments, Johnson believes they will still be able to attract a similar customer demographic to&nbsp;what they&#39;re used to.

&quot;While we&#39;re not producing the size of the boutique residential apartments that we usually offer, we&#39;ll still be looking to include products that over oversized,&quot; Johnson says.

&quot;We&#39;ll be doing two-bedroom apartments at around 85 sqm to 90 sqm, rather than the more traditional 70 sqm size of a regular two-bed.&quot;

Johnson says naturally there will be more investors given Chatswood&#39;s solid transport infrastructure and&nbsp;employment opportunities, but there will be stock to suit every buyer.

&quot;The three-bedders will be designed for those who either have children or are looking to start a young family, and the two-bedders will be suiting young buyers who want work from home space and on site recreation.&quot;

Construction on the site is expected to commence in early 2024, with the development to be released in stages. There should be around 70 apartments developed in the first stage, at the start of the Bowen Street site.

Tony Leung at A+ Design Group is currently working on the plans, with development application lodgement expected later this year.

The site was secured alongside SPG&#39;s funding and equity partner, Qualitas, and will add $250 million revenue to SPG&#39;s pipeline.

SPG recently broke into the Melbourne market, where they have launched Euroka, a boutique collection of apartments in the heart of Toorak, one of Melbourne&#39;s blue chip suburbs.

Euroka&nbsp;is inspired by Melbourne&rsquo;s iconic Roy Grounds House &ndash; once home to one of Victoria&rsquo;s most influential modern architects.

The renowned architect and design firm,&nbsp;Carr Design, has created the 10 luxury apartments, which includes two ultra-luxury penthouses.

Sun Property Group secure Chatswood apartment development site, plan two towers

A $2.669 million sale was the nation&#39;s highest reported weekend auction result amid 476 apartment offerings.

It was an 18th floor northeast corner apartment with a 131sqm layout.

The listing came with two car spaces and storage in the security complex with a 24-hour concierge.

Its sale price bettered the prior top sale, also on the 18th floor in May, at $2,180,000.

The tightly held apartment was sold by Adam Wong at Di Jones, having last sold off the plan at $660,000 in 1999.

Two-thirds of Walker Corporation&#39;s Regency Chatswood had sold in its 1998 marketing when Walker Corp took 175 deposits in the 299-unit Regency Chatswood project.

Walker Corp&#39;s $250 million development of the residential Regency Chatswood project was on the site of the former Wallaceway retail block in the heart of the shopping centre.&nbsp;

The development is to be completed in two stages comprising a 26-storey twin tower site with 534 apartments ranging in price from $185,000 to $1 million.&nbsp;

At the time there were three other residential projects under construction in Chatswood and seven projects with 1220 dwellings having development approval.&nbsp;

Some of the bigger residential projects for sale were Meriton&#39;s Bentleigh development on Victoria Avenue and The Chelsea on Brown Street.

There were 467 apartments amid the 1,977 homes taken to auction across the combined capital cities last week, revising down from the 2,106 originally expected as a number of vendors reschedule to a later date.

The national apartment clearance rate was 56 percent while the house success rate sat at 65 percent.

Sydney agents advised 158 of 176 apartment results with a strong 82 percent selling.

A Drummoyne apartment at 9/11 Bayswater Street sold for $878,500 at online auction on Saturday, at $118,500 above reserve through Ray White Drummoyne agents Mario and Jessica Carbone.&nbsp;

There were 10 registered bidders with seven of them active in seeking the two bedroom abode.&nbsp;

The winning bid was a first home buyer moving from the inner city.&nbsp;

The vendor had previously lived in the home before moving to Melbourne and turning it into an investment property.&nbsp;

Melbourne&#39;s auction clearance rate was hit by withdrawals as prospective buyers are unable to physically inspect a property.

CoreLogic calculated a 40 percent success rate after high withdrawals.

Melbourne agents advised 188 results of the 267 offerings.

The dearest result was when $1,629,500 was paid for a four bedroom, four bathroom townhouse at 21a Melva Street, Bentleigh East.

The price guide had been $1.42 million to $1.52 million.

The modern security apartment was located on the 18th floor of the Regency Apartment complex

A landmark retail freehold in Chatswood will be offered to the market after more than three decades of private ownership.
The space, occupied by international retailer King Living for almost 20 years, is expected to sell within the early $7 millions.

The two-storey space offers five car parking spaces on the title and a further eight spaces adjacent to the property.
CI Australia’s Nick Lowry holds the listing, noting a space like this is a rare opportunity.
