A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c8b3d2d3-c561-4bfc-a5d9-a68c0c10dac1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da1.png?VersionId=AeAEyJU02Gk2k5noUj2StziCvdQ7fW4B" />

Rather than concentrating landscaping in a single resident area, the plans integrate planting across the building. Mature trees at the Cordeaux Street corner will be retained, with communal landscaped open space proposed at ground and upper levels alongside deep-soil planting and increased tree canopy coverage.

The building will have two residential entries, one from each street frontage, feeding into a central core with three lifts. Vehicle access is consolidated separately, with the basement entry positioned at the lower part of the site.

Doroch's design report shows 101 of the 139 apartments, or 72.6 per cent, receiving more than two hours of solar access, while 84 apartments achieve natural cross-ventilation. Twenty-eight apartments will incorporate Liveable Housing Australia Silver-level provisions, and every habitable room is designed with a window in an external wall.

The 2016 approval it will replace has never been built, leaving the corner of Cordeaux and Moore-Oxley streets as one of the more prominent unrealised sites in a city centre now being pushed toward higher-density renewal.

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.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

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.

A residential and commercial owner-occupier investment site in Dandenong has come onto the market for the first time in more than 40 years. 
Located at 1536-1538 Heatherton Road, close to the corner of Dandenong/Stud Road, the property comprises a total of 1,655 square metres, with 300 square metres of modern office space. 
According to marketing agents, Teska Carson’s George Takis and Michael Taylor, the property presents several options to prospective purchasers including owner-occupiers, investors, and developers. 
“This is a versatile property providing a number of options to the buyer including the opportunity to establish a business with excellent main street exposure, the potential to develop a residential project (STCA) on a large site, or as a passive investment with development options down the track.
“The property is very well located in one of Melbourne’s most rapidly growing regions with access to all essential amenities including shopping, lifestyle, entertainment, and public and private transport,” Mr Takis said.     
The property is close to Dandenong Plaza, Dandenong Markets and Dandenong Wetlands, parks, schools, fitness centres and has easy access to the Melbourne CBD via arterial routes such as EastLink, Stud Road/Dandenong Valley Highway, Princes Highway and Monash Freeway. 
Mr Taylor said the property would ideally suit townhouse development (STCA) or similar given the size of the lot and its township location. 
It last traded in 1976, when it sold for $57,000. 
The listing will be auctioned on December 13.

An investor negotiated post-auction to pay $4,375,000 for a prime mixed-use Leichhardt building.
The property at <a href="https://www.commercialrealestate.com.au/property/122-128-marion-street-leichhardt-nsw-2040-2015767751" target="_blank">122-128 Marion Street</a>, offered for the first time in nearly four decades, is located 50 metres from the entrance to Leichhardt Market Place.
It is fully leased to five separate tenants with an annual net passing income of $223,678.
Italian restaurant Frattini, Bar Passalacqua, Jump! Swim School and Trassit Hair Studio occupy the building.
<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/2019/11/19/Marian%20Leichhardt%202.jpg" alt="">
The 505 sqm site, with 605 sqm of net lettable area, was marketed as having future development upside.
Ray White Commercial NSW agents Kristian Morris and Lachlan Palm secured the sale.
Morris said it was rare for a tightly-held Inner City freehold investment to come available and it also offered excellent positioning, being just six kilometres west of the Sydney CBD.
“We had five registered bidders battling it out on the day, with the property selling for more than $800,000 over the opening bid,” Morris said.   “The two-storey mixed-use building also offered the opportunity to redevelop with holding income and has a net $223,678.51* of passing income.   “The property by itself represents a corner site both for value-add, as well as potential redevelopment, subject to council approval.   “The asset's address and title identify a frontage facing Marion Street, however the property's exposure extends around the corner to Edith Street with rear access, parking and loading. 
“It's surrounded by public transport with buses and light rail, with direct access to Parramatta Road and walking distance to Leichhardt marketplace, anchored by major retailers such as Woolworths and Aldi.”

1800 Removals, and Super Vape Store, have snapped up two separate leases in the Brisbane suburb of Hemmant, at 9/227 Fleming Road, and 10/227 Fleming Road respectively.
With a total building area of 1,128 square metres, shed nine came with a 1,044 square metres warehouse and 84 square metres of office space. 
Shed 10 came with a 373 square metre warehouse and 79 square metres of office space. 
<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/2019/11/15/Hemmant%201.jpg" alt="">
1800 Removals snapped up shed nine for $131,976 p.a. plus outgoings and Super Vape Store sealed a deal at shed 10 for $56,000 p.a. plus outgoings - a gross total of over $200,000. 
Both properties were leased by Ray White Commercial TradeCoast’s Jared Doyle and Jack Gwyn. 
Mr Doyle said he was pleased to deliver two excellent results for the owners following an agent function, given they had not originally been appointed for the site. 
“We weren’t the banner marketing agents for this site but decided to go along to an agent function held on site a few months ago,” Mr Doyle said. 
“Here, we received information about the site and have since introduced quality tenants sealing these two deals, to the delight of both lessors and lessees. 
Mr Gwyn said 1800 Removals had been struggling to find the right property and thought they had until circumstances quickly changed. 
“They had heads of agreement fully executed, however engineer’s reports confirmed the unique suspended slab wouldn't hold their trucks and containers,” Mr Gwyn said. 
“We then had to scramble to find something else under time pressure and we were able to justify the owner's realistic rental expectations and achieve the asking price."
Hemmant is approximately 11 kilometres to the east of Brisbane's CBD.

A commercial property, in the Sunshine Coast suburb of Kunda Park, has been bought by a local investor for $850,000. 
The asset, Unit 12/15 Rawlins Circuit, came with a 454 square metre building area. 
It was leased to a high-profile tenant who occupied a majority of the development, with a significant infrastructure investment to come. 
The property was marketed and sold by Ray White Commercial Noosa and Sunshine Coast North Property Consultants Matt Marenko and Louisa Blennerhassett. 
Mr Marenko said the team received five offers on the property and it sold within five days of hitting the market. 
“The tenant was Unique Health Products who had occupied the property since 2012 and have a very successful business distributing products in the health food sector,” he said. 
“The investment market continues to strengthen thanks to interest rates remaining at an all-time low.”
Mr Marenko said investors were pulling their money out of the banks and buying property to take advantage of the stronger yields 
“We have four buyers from this property who missed out, and a long list ready, but we need more properties to sell,” he said. 
It is 7.5 km, or 10 minutes by car, from the Sunshine Coast’s CBD.

A 19th century warehouse, in the Melbourne suburb of Armadale, has come onto the market.
The split-level, 185 square metre site at 2A Myamyn Street is used as a commercial warehouse, with an annual rental return of around $60,000.
Current tenant, Custom Lighting, has a lease until April 2020.
According to Jellis Craig’s Nathan Waterson, the sites premium location offered development potential unseen anywhere else in the area, which has inspired several developers to express preliminary interest.
“This property is perfectly located in the heart of Armadale. It’s only mere metres from High St, two turns from Albany Rd, and with dual street frontage on a private laneway it’s a very rare opportunity."
“There isn’t anything else quite like it in the local area. Property in Armadale is tightly held, with the vast majority either residential or retail.
“We’ve seen less than 10 commercial property sales in the area this year and every one of those has been an existing retail space. That tells you about the very rare nature of this property, and the virtual ‘blank canvas’ it presents," Waterson said.
The property last traded in 2015, when it sold for $1,715,000.
The sought-after suburb of Armadale has a median residential sale price of $1.975 million.
It will be sold at auction on November 30.

The Glasshouse building, at John Holland's Macquarie Square development, has been sold.
The building comprises of 38,500 square metres of internal floorspace, and was sold to investment company Charter Hall for approximately $332 million.
The sale price, and 5 per cent cap rate, represent a record for John Holland and is one of the largest ever sales in Macquarie Park.
CEO Joe Barr said, “Macquarie Park is Sydney’s emerging new CBD. With the Glasshouse, it will get its first CBD-quality office building, with a 7,000sqm public park at its heart."
Executive General Manager Development &amp; Investments Tom Roche said, “this is an incredible result, adding to our strong pipeline of commercial and mixed-use developments. With more than 80 per cent of the Glasshouse leased already, this is clearly a market that will continue to grow,” Mr Roche said.
The Glasshouse is part of John Holland’s Macquarie Square development, a 117,017 square metre site made up of five buildings and a 7,000 square metre public park.
John Holland will complete the building in early 2020, with Transport for NSW as its anchor tenant. John Holland will remain part of the Macquarie Square community through its ongoing development and precinct management roles.
Macquarie Square is a two-minute walk to the John Holland-built Sydney Metro Macquarie Park station.

The entire retail component of The Mill Central Precinct's first mixed-use development has been sold.
Brocke Hambrecht of the Ray White Commercial Northern Corridor Group managed the sale. 
All units were purchased off-plan by southern investors.
The complex, comprising 28 residential units and five strata retail tenancies, is the first of its kind within the new Mill Central Precinct. 
Ray White Commercial Northern Corridor Senior Investment Analyst Ashley Rees believed this was a sign of a new trend in commercial investment for the region. 
Mr Rees said, "we expect to see more of this speculative investment into vacant properties.” 
“Competition is just too fierce for the traditional secure investments," he concluded.
