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>.

The privately owned real estate and investment group Conquest marked their first foray into Burwood with their latest residential development, La Luna.&nbsp;

With offices in both Sydney and London, the group has seamlessly connected La Luna with its surrounding diversified neighbourhood, with the 54-apartment tower donning a brass-accented facade which gives it its distinct character.&nbsp;

Located in the heart of the thriving inner-west suburb, at 23 George Street, the apartments sit on the cusp of Burwood's restaurant district.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6552 project_image_fid=202004]

A wide variety of venues are on offer, from the fast-paced style of Burwood's own Chinatown, made up of thirty hawker-style eateries, or for a more refined experience, residents can opt for Onyx Grill which is located in&nbsp;Crowne Plaza Sydney Burwood.&nbsp;

For an afternoon sip, Skye Bar is an eight-minute stroll down Burwood Road, taking in sunsets over the Blue Mountains as well as 360 degree views of the Greater Sydney skyline.&nbsp;

Outdoors-y residents will also find a place within the community, with Burwood Park located just 350-metres from La Luna, offering a recreational space for everybody, with a tennis court, an outdoor chess board, and a playground.&nbsp;

Shopping enthusiasts won't have to look far either, with Westfield Burwood a seven-minute stroll from the steps of La Luna, boasting an array of retailers, including&nbsp;David Jones, Kmart, Target, Coles, Woolworths, along with an Event Cinema.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6552 project_image_fid=202005]

With many families calling Burwood home, a number of schools also fall within reach of La Luna, with Burwood Girls High, Burwood Public School and the&nbsp;Sydney School of Business and Technology all under a 10-minutes walk.

The site is located within 250-metres of Burwood Train Station, making commuting into the city, which is just 12-kilometres away, a breeze. A number of bus stops are also within proximity of La Luna's steps, while the proposed future Burwood Metro will be only a short walk away, adding additional means of transport for residents.&nbsp;Residents can make their way into the city via a ferry as well, with Cabarita Wharf just five-kilometres from the site.&nbsp;

Around Burwood's La Luna Residences 

Sydney-based investment house Princeton has recently acquired one of the last remaining warehouse conversion sites in the Balmain Village Precinct, worth a combined value of $40 million.&nbsp;

The 960 sqm inner-west site at 73-75 Beattie Street will house just five three-bedroom terraces along with a one-of-a-kind New York loft-style four-bedroom penthouse, with views to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and city skyline.&nbsp;

Construction will kick off in the first quarter of next year as the new residences position themselves as welcome addition to the affluent suburb.&nbsp;

While Sydney property prices show signs of dropping, the latest CoreLogic figures show Balmain has experienced a steady increase over the last five years, with a growth rate of nearly 20 per cent over the last twelve months and a current median sales price of $2.7 million.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of the proposed Beattie St development " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fc40fe3e-2d77-4c14-9f93-f6e929967793" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/CGI%20-%20Llewelyn%20Street.png?VersionId=GHbYC3UB_mUR.3yDK47G0Led5Gaz8Ymx" /> 
Render of the proposed Beattie St. development.

Princeton founders, George Gadallah and Craig Anderson said the new addition provided the perfect step for their quick growing investment portfolio in Sydney’s inner-west.

“The acquisition of the Balmain site is an exciting leap forwards for Princeton in the highly competitive inner-west market,” said Gadallah.

“Balmain is one of Sydney’s most in demand suburbs and continues to outperform the wider market due to government infrastructure announcements such as WestConnex and Sydney Metro West, as well as its proximity to amenities in the CBD, strong demographic and lack of land supply.”

“This development will offer home buyers dynamic, terrace-style living with unparalleled views of Sydney’s world-famous harbour, with each terrace providing a separate home office or rumpus room above basement car parking.”

“It’s going to be exciting to see this project come to life over the coming months/years and cement itself as a crown jewel of the inner west,” Gadallah added.&nbsp;

The Balmain project will join an already strong portfolio from Princeton, including the underway Botany project, Baronet &amp; Banks, Serrata in Blakehurst, and luxury living development in Bondi Beach with Eurangi.

The 960 sqm inner-west site at 73-75 Beattie Street will house just five three-bedroom terraces along with a one-of-a-kind New York loft-style four-bedroom penthouse, with views to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and city skyline. 

Princeton to build apartments in the heart of Balmain 

Sydney-based developers, Billbergia and architects SJB will once again team up, forming part of the Rhodes East Master Plan.

Billbergia and SJB previously collaborated on the transformation of Rhodes from an industrial peninsula into a fully regenerated suburb, in a bid by the State Government to transform obsolete industrial lands on the shores of the Parramatta River adjacent to Homebush Bay Olympic Park.

Master planned in 2005 by SJB, the first stages of work wrapped up this year, with Billbergia and SJB now taking to 25-27 Leeds Street to expand on the long-term regeneration of the greater Rhodes area.

<img alt="Render of the Rhodes East development " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9c3242ea-811c-468c-9cff-bb27f2662829" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-04%20at%2011.06.14%20am.png?VersionId=lMIg0qRuP40dwynqJA9qb2TKm2dlrolO" />

Managing Director, John Kinsella said the project will breathe new life into the Parramatta River foreshore, making it not only greener and more attractive but more accessible as well.&nbsp;

“The project will deliver 6,000 sqm of public open space, including a retail and dining precinct and will open up the waterfront promenade with an interactive river edge for the community to enjoy,” Kinsella.

Unique designs by a collaborative team of SJB and Land Form Studio were chosen from a design competition, with a jury comprising representatives from City of Canada Bay Council, NSW Government Architect’s and Nation Architects. 
&nbsp; 
SJB’s Director, Nick Hatzi said the group had a long-running connection with Rhodes, having completed the first Master Plan for the regeneration of the suburb in 2005.&nbsp;

“We’ve delivered many mixed-use buildings in the area including most recently Rhodes Central by Billbergia which forms the retail heart of the suburb,” Hatzi said.

<img alt="Render of the proposed Rhodes East development " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="dc4f15b4-bafa-41c0-b377-1b9d5e8ad242" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-04%20at%2011.06.53%20am.png?VersionId=TDJvc1Ulqn_g0f51AMlFpegwdhGrHwKw" />

“Our proposal for Leeds Street opens up new connections to the water and reflects SJB’s approach to permeable and civic-centric mixed-use development.”&nbsp;

“Being the first development under the master plan - we hope this precinct sets a high benchmark for the incoming community,” he added.&nbsp;

A collection of varying scaled buildings will be constructed across the site, with a defined podium of a singular material and lighter-coloured concrete forms.&nbsp;

Land and Form Director, Ro Iyer said the public domain will embrace the unique geographical setting and confluence of where the Parramatta River meets Rhodes.&nbsp;

“The foreshore design represents this transition from natural to urban, creating an iconic destination that looks to restore and enhance important ecological assets and allow people to actively engage with the Parramatta River, setting a high-quality precedent for the Rhodes East Precinct,” Iyer said.&nbsp;

At the site’s juncture, there are a number of key interfaces - the foreshore to the north, the historic bridge to the west, the transitioning industrial context to the east, and a proposed public school and grounds to the south.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of the proposed Rhodes East development " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6b5ed3af-5940-4173-b555-d12346277096" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-04%20at%2011.06.23%20am.png?VersionId=6HUOxdMWjiI3jTYs0sYqF1hOw6f3WAa6" />

Building layouts are optimised towards the views and orientated for solar access, with internal facing courtyard apartments also receiving glimpses through the building gaps towards the river ensuring at least 85 percent of the apartments have desired outlooks.

“This project will reimagine the Rhodes waterfront and forms a critical piece in the NSW Government's rejuvenation of the Parramatta River waterfront from Sydney Opera House to Parramatta Park,” said Kinsella.

Managing Director, John Kinsella said the project will breathe new life into the Parramatta River foreshore, making it not only greener and more attractive but more accessible as well. 

SJB win design for Billbergia's Rhodes mixed-use development 

The under-construction Ovation Footscray is nearing completion, with the final touches being added to the Buckley Street residences.

Platinum Construction have been building the inner-city apartments, which is expected to welcome its first residents by September this year.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5490 project_image_fid=78490]

Landing just 5.6 kilometres from the Melbourne CBD, Footscray is one of those rare suburbs that, while possessing a strong village-like atmosphere, it enjoys the same connectivity to that of a city fringe locale.

Located&nbsp;in the heart of Footscray, Ovation reaps all the benefits of these attributes, maintaining proximity to public transport, schools, dining and recreational amenity, while still feeling like its own set place.

Inner-city locals, Keystone Property Group are the developers behind Ovation, which will comprise 131 residences upon completion.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5490 project_image_fid=78492]

Keystone are no strangers to the burgeoning Footscray area, with the developers boasting a string of already sold out projects, including, The Buckley and Victoria Corner.

<a href="/architects/kavellaris-urban-design" target="_blank">Kavellaris Urban Design</a>&nbsp;(KUD) handled the design of Ovation, with owner, Billy Kavellaris saying the vision was to honour Footscray&rsquo;s unique architectural character, while still establishing a new level of design ingenuity for the area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5490 project_image_fid=78493]

&ldquo;Positioned in one of Melbourne&rsquo;s fastest emerging domains, innovation and liveability were of equal importance when designing ovation,&rdquo; Kavellaris said.

Ovation delivers a collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, starting from $585,000.

Apartment seekers in Sydney&#39;s Inner West&nbsp;will get a rare chance to secure a soon-to-be completed apartment in Enfield, as the&nbsp;Coronation Park development hits the market.

Coronation Park, developed by Sukkar Construction,&nbsp;will feature under 60&nbsp;one and two-bedroom apartments to a design by Olsson &amp; Associates.

HAUS Agency Director Sean Dowling says the architecturally planning invested&nbsp;in Coronation Park is the benchmark for everything that follows in the creation of each home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6633 project_image_fid=197389]

&quot;All the necessities in life are included, from the secure underground parking and video intercom lift access to the sun-drenched expansive balconies,&rdquo; Dowling noted.

Enfield is an area on the flanks of Sydney&rsquo;s Inner West, experiencing a sustained expansion in terms of both key transport and lifestyle advantages.

Coronation Park is situated close to express CBD bus stops, as well as being nearby to Strathfield, Ashfield and Burwood station, making commuting a breeze for buyers who aren&rsquo;t working from home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6633 project_image_fid=197387]

Developer and builder, Sukkar Construction, brings a wealth of experience and expertise to Coronation Park with projects across Sydney.

Coronation Park apartments in Enfield launched

The Croydon apartment development, L1ON Croydon in Sydney&#39;s inner west, has officially sold out.

Located at 1 Lion Street, Croydon, L1ON Croydon has 35 modern one, two and three-bedroom apartments across two buildings, behind a sleek fa&ccedil;ade designed by Benson McCormack Architects (BMA).

The project has been built and developed by construction veterans and renowned property developers Hone Constructions, who offer a unique combined approach to quality building with over 15 years of experience in the property industry.

Sydney&rsquo;s HAUS Agency sold out the project, which also features a number of two-level residences.

&ldquo;We know that Croydon is a wonderful location, just 20 minutes from the CBD, and buyers that have been eager to secure their first home somewhere that makes commuting to work easy,&rdquo; Alexander Vrisakis, HAUS Agency Director, said.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re really excited to bring such a unique building to the market in Enfield, a location that many don&rsquo;t realise is an area on the flanks of Sydney&rsquo;s Inner West experiencing a sustained expansion in terms of both key transport and lifestyle advantages,&rdquo; said Vrisakis.

&ldquo;At the heart of this domain is Coronation Park, a new and innovative approach to sophisticated yet affordable urban style.&quot;

L1ON Croydon apartments feature&nbsp;Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances,&nbsp;engineered European oak flooring, Caesarstone kitchen benchtops, bespoke blinds and LED lighting throughout.

HAUS Agency didn&#39;t start marketing the apartments until they were nearly completed, a strategy which&nbsp;HAUS Agency Director Sean Dowling said saw them see success.

&quot;It&rsquo;s rare to find such high-quality apartments that are untouched and available to purchase now, with every apartment completed and ready to inspect,&quot; Dowling said.

The majority of sales have been to first home buyers looking to get a foot on the property ladder, but also local owner occupiers looking for something new, post-COVID-19.

Melbourne’s inner west has been earmarked as a top buying target by property experts for the last few years.

Footscray, one of Melbourne’s inner-western suburbs with countless ongoing development projects, is a similar distance from the CBD as South Yarra but without the soaring property prices.

Realestate.com.au chief economist Nerida Conisbee said that the inner-west region is still quite cheap and is "starting to improve”.

According to CoreLogic, West Footscray was amongst Melbourne's best performing suburbs post-GFC, with values rising over 30 per cent between 2008 and 2011. 

Here are two apartments in Footscray:

1. Live City

The residential and mixed-use development, Live City, will only push Footscray’s value upward.

Delivered by R&amp;F Property, the $750 million, eight-building project is situated at 124-128 Ballarat Road and is set to offer as many as 1,450 apartments over the next six to eight years. Stage one of the development topped out in August, comprising 208 residences spread across 14 floors.

Designed by Elenberg Fraser, apartments are available in one, two and three-bedroom configurations, with features including a private balcony, views of the Melbourne CBD and expansive glass doors. Other offerings include reconstituted stone benchstops, concealed storage, timber flooring and premium appliances.

One bedroom apartments within the project begin at $350,000, with two-bedrooms priced from $460,000.

Another property to watch in Footscray is Bensons Property Group’s Liberty One development on 1 Warde Street. The development offers 350 one and two-bedroom residences.

Designed by CHT Architects, Liberty One’s features include premium oak floors, stone benchtops, high-end kitchen appliances and private balconies.

Located within the Joseph Road Precinct, the project offers residents close access to alfresco dining and retail spaces, as well as amenities such as an outdoor cinema, gym and residents’ lounge.

Newly built or off the plan properties up to $1 million in purchase price receive 50 per cent discount on their payable stamp duty thanks to Victorian Government initiatives. The November 24 budget revealed substantial discounts for buyers purchasing properties prior to June 30.

One-bedroom apartments in the project begin at $396,000, with two-bedroom properties from $630,000.
