Enfield may be home to fewer than 3,000 residents, but its prime location between Strathfield and Burwood has cemented its status as one of the Inner West’s hidden gems.

The suburb offers a village-style lifestyle with an abundance of cafés, restaurants, and boutique shops, staples of Inner West living.

At the last census, there were only around 300 apartments in the suburb. Fewer than a handful of new apartment developments have been delivered in recent years, but none are as well positioned as The Carlyle, just a three-minute walk to Henley Park, arguably one of the best parks in the area.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-carlyle-enfield-164-liverpool-rd-enfield-nsw-2136">The Carlyle</a> will comprise 32 one- and two-bedroom apartments, a mix rarely seen in the new development market across Sydney.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/ray-white-projects-western-sydney">Ray White Projects WS</a>&nbsp;is fielding enquiry from several buyer types.

"First home buyers are realising this is the best time to get into the market," says Mark Bernberg, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/ray-white-projects-western-sydney">Ray White Projects WS</a>&nbsp;Managing Director.

"There are now several government incentives assisting first home buyers to get onto the property ladder. The recent announcement to waive lender's mortgage insurance for those with low deposits puts tens of thousands back in their pockets. Pair that with stamp duty savings in the new apartment space, and there has never been a better time to be a first home buyer in the off the plan apartment market."

Bernberg has also seen a re-emergence of investors, attracted to the low supply of apartments in Enfield and the suburb's lifestyle, while also being on the fringe of Burwood, which is set to undergo a huge transformation with its recent rezoning around the new metro station.

"That will bring a wealth of new retail and amenity to the area, which tends to drive prices higher," Bernberg says.

"Rents are at record highs, and with interest rates coming down from the highs earlier this year, investment apartments are starting to stack up again financially."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148733 project_image_fid=6665]

The Carlyle apartments will sit above doorstep amenity, with a two-level retail podium incorporated into the striking building. The retail component will include a new ground-floor café facing Carlyle Street.

Two-bedroom apartments range from 67 sqm to 83 sqm internally, with some of the larger residences on the top level featuring expansive wraparound balconies. These layouts are designed to enhance seamless indoor-outdoor living, maximising natural light and views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148733 project_image_fid=6666]

The Carlyle's proximity to Henley Park is one of its biggest drawcards. The 13-hectare park includes multiple sports fields, two fenced playgrounds designed for various age groups, and Enfield Aquatic Centre, complete with Olympic-sized swimming pool.

The Carlyle is on track to welcome residents in early 2026.

The Carlyle in Enfield launches to undersupplied Inner West market

A new Metro stop, a thriving café scene, and proximity to village-style retail have cemented St Leonards as one of the Lower North Shore’s most sought-after suburbs for new development.

Among those seizing the opportunity is Sekisui House Australia, which has chosen this prized pocket, in the St Leonards South precinct, for its first-ever inner-city apartment project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/waterstone-st-leonards-24-berry-road-st-leonards-nsw-2065">Waterstone</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134191 project_image_fid=230]

Set for completion in the summer of 2027, Waterstone comprises 207 apartments across five buildings, designed to look south back to the&nbsp;Sydney&nbsp;CBD.&nbsp;The new project offers residents the rare balance of connected urban living and tranquil green surrounds.

Just moments from home lies Smoothey Park, a blend of natural bushland and manicured parkland. It forms part of the Wollstonecraft cluster of reserves, including Gore Cove, Badangi Reserve, and Berry Island, all offering peaceful escapes on the Harbour’s edge.

When it comes to lifestyle, St Leonards and its neighbouring suburbs, Crows Nest, Waverton, Greenwich, and Wollstonecraft, deliver an endless array of cafés, restaurants, and boutique retailers. Nearby Mall 88, only 650 metres from Waterstone, adds convenience with over 30 specialty stores.

Connectivity is another major drawcard. The new Crows Nest Metro Station is just one kilometre away, while St Leonards Train Station is a short seven-minute walk. For a more scenic commute, the Greenwich Point Wharf ferry reaches Circular Quay in under 30 minutes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134191 project_image_fid=351953]

For peace of mind, Royal North Shore Hospital, one of Sydney’s most prominent medical hubs, sits just 650 metres away, making Waterstone ideal for healthcare professionals or residents seeking easy access to world-class medical facilities.

Perfectly positioned on the fringe of vibrant activity yet embraced by parkland serenity, Waterstone offers the best of both worlds in Sydney’s evolving Lower North Shore.

Located on South Sea Islander Way, SOL forms part of the broader vision to deliver a connected and vibrant city heart for the Sunshine Coast. Construction is already underway on the first 19-storey tower, with completion targeted for early 2028. The development is being delivered by Walker in collaboration with Sunshine Coast Council and SunCentral.

Second release at SOL by Walker expands residential offering in Maroochydore City Centre

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a> has marked the topping out of Prince &amp; Parade in Brunswick, celebrating the completion of the building’s highest point and a major step forward for one of the developer’s landmark Melbourne communities.

The milestone forms part of Mirvac’s strong construction momentum across Victoria, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/prince-parade-by-mirvac-brunswick-701-park-street-brunswick-vic-3056">Prince &amp; Parade</a> and The Albertine both recently reaching structural completion. Together, the two projects will deliver 265 new apartments, contributing to much-needed housing supply in Melbourne’s inner suburbs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4802 project_image_fid=3627]

Designed in collaboration with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bates-smart">Bates Smart</a>, Prince &amp; Parade continues a long-standing partnership that has delivered The Melburnian (2002) and The Eastbourne (2019).

The new <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/brunswick-vic-3056">Brunswick</a> address comprises a mix of one to four-bedroom residences complemented by extensive amenity, including a residents’ lounge, shared dining room and kitchen, library, yoga room, gym, and rooftop terrace, with landscaping by Jack Merlo and a concierge service.

Construction is rapidly transforming the site, with significant milestones achieved across two buildings, supported by 73 slab pours and six fully constructed building cores. Completion is expected in 2026.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4802 project_image_fid=269383]

Mirvac’s General Manager, Residential Development Victoria, Elysa Anderson said Prince &amp; Parade has been strongly received by buyers seeking quality design and trusted delivery.

“These communities have been well received, attracting strong interest from downsizers and professionals who value high-quality design, premium locations and the confidence of buying with Mirvac,” Anderson said.

Prince &amp; Parade has also achieved a record-breaking apartment sale in Brunswick, underscoring its design quality and market appeal.

“We’re incredibly proud to see Prince &amp; Parade set a new benchmark for Brunswick. This <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/vic/exclusive-mirvac-breaks-brunswick-record-with-prince-parade-sale">record-breaking sale</a> is a testament to Mirvac’s design excellence, quality craftsmanship, and our strong reputation for delivering high-quality residential communities across the country,” Anderson said.

Prince & Parade tops out in Brunswick as Mirvac marks dual Melbourne milestones

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a> has celebrated the topping out of The Albertine, marking the completion of the 14-storey structure on the edge of Melbourne’s CBD and signalling strong progress across the developer’s Victorian pipeline.

The milestone forms part of Mirvac’s $7.4 billion Victorian development portfolio, which includes both residential and mixed-use projects such as Prince &amp; Parade in Brunswick, which also reached its highest point recently, and Trielle at Yarra’s Edge, scheduled to top out in early 2026

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138659 project_image_fid=294831]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-albertine-by-mirvac-melbourne-31-queens-lane-melbourne-vic-3004">The Albertine</a> offers one to four-bedroom residences complemented by exclusive resident-only amenity, including The Circadian Club, a wellness centre with an indoor pool and spa, gym, yoga and Pilates studio, and sauna, as well as The Elysian Room, a private dining space on level 10 with sweeping views across Melbourne.

Since construction began in August last year, up to 240 workers have been on site daily, pouring 7,000 cubic metres of concrete across 72 pours and installing more than 1,000 tonnes of steel reinforcement to bring the project to this landmark moment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138659 project_image_fid=4353]

Mirvac’s CEO, Development – Residential and Commercial Mixed Use, Stuart Penklis said the achievement highlights Mirvac’s design quality and sustained delivery across Melbourne.

“We are proud to be delivering The Albertine and Prince &amp; Parade, two projects that embody Mirvac’s design excellence, commitment to quality, and focus on creating homes that connect people to their communities," Penklis said.

"With cranes rising high across Melbourne, Mirvac’s residential pipeline is moving strongly, and these milestones are a testament to that momentum."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138659 project_image_fid=294826]

Penklis added that Mirvac’s growing portfolio demonstrates its commitment to providing diverse housing options across Victoria.

“We have recently opened our third build-to-rent community in Melbourne, LIV Albert at Brunswick, our fifth nationally, which together with our master-planned communities ensures that we are providing a full spectrum of housing options to Victorians.

Completion of The Albertine is expected in 2026.

The City of Onkaparinga has officially given property developer Greaton the green light to commence construction on their new 10-building luxury resort in McLaren Vale, 38 kilometres south of Adelaide. The development is a partnership between Greaton and sustainable wine purveyors Wirra Wirra, with plans to build a 33-key resort, situated amongst the Wirra Wirra vineyards.

Recent data from the South Australian Tourism Commission found that there were only 3% of overnight visitors to the Fleurieu Peninsula between 2018 to 2019, many of which were intrastate visitors. Greaton decided to embark on this ambitious project to drive an uplift in international tourism within the Fleurieu Peninsula region. 

<blockquote>
"This year, expenditure is forecast to increase to $509M*, so while growth in this market is expected, we are confident this resort will go some way to further increasing international visitation once completed. In addition, to further increase the appeal to overseas visitors, we are currently negotiating with an international wellness-oriented resort operator that runs some of the most renowned resorts and hotels around the world – we hope to be in a position to announce this partnership soon."
</blockquote>

Nicho Teng, Greaton Managing Director

<figcaption>Image supplied.</figcaption></figure>Wirra Wirra Managing Director, Andrew Kay, explains that the winery staff often hear from inbound tourism operators about the lack of premium accommodation offerings in the Fleurieu Peninsula region. 

<blockquote>
"We presented our hotel concept to potential suppliers at the 2019 Australian Tourism Exchange in Adelaide, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. They would book tomorrow if they could."
</blockquote>

Kay believes that the 5-star development will add significant value to the Peninsula and drive international awareness of the area. 

Blink Design Group has designed the approved plans for the spa resort, which also includes an infinity pool, function hall and the restoration of a heritage building, which previously belonged to the winery founder Robert Wigley.

<blockquote>
"The building is quite derelict, and the development provides the opportunity to give it a purposeful role into the future." 
</blockquote>

Andrew Kay, Wirra Wirra Managing Director

The heritage building is set to become a bookable luxury bridal suite once restorative works are complete. 

Construction is slated to begin in November this year, with completion anticipated for 2022.

Greaton has acquired Queensland's Keswick Island, as the group continues to diversify its portfolio from apartments to hotel resorts.
It reported it was recently listed with adjusted $20 million hopes.
The transfer of the lease over Keswick Island from Edward Dawson-Damer to Sydney-based Chinese investors Greaton has received State Govenmemnt sign off.
In 2016 Keswick Island, a Great Barrier Reef island, was on the market with $30 million hopes.
Keswick Developments, owned by the Dawson-Damer family, was hopeful of attracting Chinese tourism interests. 
Keswick Developments is dieted by Edward Dawson-Damer, a former equerry to Queen Elizabeth.
Captain James Cook charted Keswick on his maiden voyage, but since the hilly island -- home to an extinct volcano -- has been sparsely occupier with only about 20 houses and permanent residents.
Cars are banned, with residents travelling by golf buggy on the island.
Keswick Developments obtained the head lease eight years ago after the previous owner, Peter Marshall, spent 20 years attempting to develop the island.
The new owner will have a 117-hectare development lease with the Queensland government until 2096.
The rest of the 517 hectare island is national park. 
The purchase will also give the buyer a 25-hectare seabed lease for a 180-berth marina and deep water jetty.
The mixed-use zoning on the sub-tropical island can accommodate 1000 dwellings and 3000 people. 
The island, 32 kilometres off the coast of Mackay, already has a sealed airstrip, 150 subdivided lots, and preliminary key infrastructure for ongoing development.
The local paper wrote Whitsunday MP Jason Costigan said he was aware of a number of ­issues on Keswick Island, and he hoped that the lease transfer would be “the start of an exciting new era”.
Costigan said it was a shame that many of the southern Whitsunday islands, including Keswick, St Bees and Brampton islands, had been underdeveloped in terms of their tourism potential.
Linc Energy founder Peter Bond has recently commenced a formal campaign to sell Dunk Island off Mission Beach on the Great Barrier Reef with expectations around $20 million.

Adelaide's General Post Office development scored a shot in the arm today with a hotel operator confirmed for project.

Marriott International Group will assume operating rights over the $200 million hotel development which is backed by developer Greaton. Overlooking Victoria Square, the Westin-branded outlet which is set to open during 2022 will include 285 rooms and in turn create 250 ongoing jobs upon its completion.

Westin's arrival follows on from Greaton's move to rework the development during April, applying for the right to deliver Adelaide's first five-star hotel. Approval was granted during May, subject to a number of conditions.

Hassell has undertaken design duties for the 16-level hotel which will see the existing General Post Office building refashioned to include retail spaces and associated hotel uses.

BHP announced during April that it would relocate its Adelaide operations to a new $250 million office complex adjacent to the Westin site. Backed by Charter Hall, the GPO Exchange Building is another key plank in the development of the General Post Office precinct.

The mining company is slated to take 10,000 square metres, taking the tower's committed Net Lettable Area to beyond 90%. Contractor Built has the office tower's jump form above ground owing to its abbreviated delivery window, whilst the Westin hotel's 2022 targeted completion leaves it with additional breathing room in terms of a construction start.

Property developer Greaton has won the Deal of the Year award in the over $100 million transaction category for The Ribbon in Sydney's Darling Harbour at Hotels World 2017.
Greaton beat Novotel Melbourne On Collins, Travelodge Docklands, Intercontinental Sydney Double Bay, Hilton Melbourne South Wharf, W Melbourne and a portfolio of 15 Ibis Hotels to take the award.
Nicho Teng, Greaton managing director said it is a significant honour for Greaton to be awarded this accolade for The Ribbon.
"We are a very new player in the Australian hotel market, but intend to build our presence with several significant acquisitions over the next few decades," he said.
"The Ribbon will set a new benchmark for luxury hotels in Sydney and become a destination of choice by both locals and international tourists.
“The IMAX theatre site in Darling Harbour is one of Sydney’s most famous tourist areas.
"It was only fitting that one of Australia’s best hotels is positioned on this site.” 
John Smith, HotelsWorld Australia CEO said Greaton was against a strong field of major deals but was a stand-out.
"The Ribbon is an amazing transaction due to its unique nature, location and scale, all within what promises to be a timeless modern architectural masterpiece," he said.
"It is an important addition to the hotel market in Sydney, which needs more luxury hotels to meet burgeoning demand from local and overseas markets.”

<html><body>
Developer Greaton has begun construction work on the $260 million Oxford Central residential and commercial development in Sydney's Epping.
Situated at 30 - 42 Oxford Street, Oxford Central comprises 252 luxurious apartments spread across two 17 storey towers, 292 car spaces and 625 sq m of retail on the ground level.
A two storey heritage building located on the site will also be retained and is part of the retail precinct.
An open air café area and public plaza will feature alongside the Heritage building which fronts the development and will be accessible to the public.
Greaton managing director Nicho Teng said this is a significant milestone for the business.
"Oxford Central is Greaton’s first major mixed use project in Sydney and marks the beginning of a very long journey to deliver community focused, quality lifestyle precincts," he said.
“We have hand-picked international award-winning builders and architects - Ceerose and Marchese Partners to ensure Oxford Central becomes an iconic structure on Epping’s skyline.
"Local purchasers have embraced the opportunity to be part of this landmark project.
“Sydney’s horizon is scattered with many cranes.
"We look forward to adding our cranes to the skyline as well as helping create hundreds of jobs for local contractors.
"The Sydney property market is very busy.
"We expect to announce new acquisitions in the near future which will further add to Sydney’s construction activity.”

Construction starts on Greaton's Oxford Central

<html><body>
Major construction work has commenced on the first phase of West Franklin, an urban regeneration project located in the West End part of Adelaide’s CBD.
The work is being carried out by Built Environs, who were awarded the $90 million contract earlier this year by global property development company Greaton. Hundreds of construction jobs will be generated during stage one, with over seventy subcontracting firms employed.
Situated on the corner of Franklin, Elizabeth and Morphett Streets, the new West Franklin precinct comprises 560 apartments and penthouses spread across four towers.
Residential facilities include a 20 metre wet edge lap pool, gym, spa, sauna, resident dining and lounge rooms, sky park with BBQ facilities and landscaped gardens, resident cinema, golf simulator and roof top bar showcasing views of Adelaide CBD, the ocean and Adelaide Hills.
“Greaton is helping stimulate the Adelaide economy by bringing this landmark project to life and creating hundreds of local jobs. West Franklin is located in an area that has been dormant for many years. The sheer size of this project will help activate this entire precinct,” commented Nicho Teng, managing director of Greaton.
“We are creating a new affordable urban lifestyle in West End that has never been seen before. West Franklin is expected to become an iconic lifestyle destination that the West End community will be very proud to call home,” he said.
West Franklin apartments have been pitched at the affordable luxury market to appeal to a broad cross section of purchasers, with over 70 per cent of stage one already sold. Local Adelaide architects Brown Falconer were chosen to lead the exterior design and interior fit-out.
Due to be completed early 2019, the first stage of West Franklin features 272 residential apartments spread across two towers. They both share a common podium comprising 1,100 sqm of retail on the ground level, resident facilities and car parking.
“The commencement of work on site is an important milestone for both Greaton and Built Environs,” added Daryl Young, Built Environs managing director.
“After the design finalisation phase and procurement of our key sub contracts it is exciting to see action on site,” he said.
