A rare new development in Surry Hills is aiming to replace a cluster of underutilised commercial buildings with a contemporary eight mixed-use building just 300 metres from Central Station.&nbsp;

The $27.5 million project is being led by ISL Property Investments Management and will include 35 apartments, some earmarked for affordable housing, alongside street-level retail and basement parking.

The development spans multiple lots between <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/98-106-kippax-street-surry-hills-nsw-2010">Kippax, Sophia, and Waterloo Streets</a> and will involve substantial demolition of the existing structures on the 780 sqm site.

According to the Urban Design Report prepared by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/dko-architecture">DKO</a>, the design has been shaped to reflect the area’s gritty industrial past while contributing to its evolving identity as a high-density urban hub.

“The proposed development is designed to integrate sensitively and intelligently with its immediate surroundings and evolving urban context,” DKO stated. “It mediates between the existing built environment and the area’s future trajectory, ensuring a thoughtful transition”.

The project includes 35 one, two, three-bedroom apartments across the upper levels, with 15 per cent of the total floor area allocated to affordable housing.&nbsp;The dwelling mix is designed to cater to a range of household types, with layouts strategically oriented to maximise solar access and cross ventilation, DKO notes.

Architecturally, the building is anchored by a podium that reinforces the streetscape while referencing the area’s industrial brick fabric. Above this, a lighter tower form is chamfered to reduce visual bulk and improve solar access to the public domain.&nbsp;

“The tower mass is elevated above the podium, visibly distinct yet firmly anchored at the bookend corner of Kippax and Waterloo Streets,” DKO wrote.

The development is also aiming high on sustainability. Features include rooftop photovoltaics, water-efficient landscaping with local species, and a commitment to all-electric infrastructure.&nbsp;

The project is lodged under the Housing SEPP and seeks approval from the City of Sydney. There have been very few new apartment developments in Surry Hills in recent years. Some of the most notable has been redevelopments of former commercial buildings, as opposed to demolishing buildings.

That's the plan for national developer Time &amp; Place, which has recently submitted their State Significant Development Application for Marlborough House, the redevelopment of the original&nbsp;David Jones department store warehouse and factory building&nbsp;on Marlborough Street. The development will have around 150 warehouse-style apartments.

Award-winning Canberra developer Art Group is approaching the final stages of construction on its newest residential development, Calypso, located on the city-fringe boulevard of Northbourne Avenue in Dickson.

Headland Parade is one of the most premium and tightly held streets in Barrack Point in the Shellharbour region south of Sydney.

Local developer&nbsp;Allowrie snapped up an opportunity to develop four custom-designed townhomes on the exclusive strip, which they recently completed the luxury homes to the design by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ingenuity-home-designs">Ingenuity Home Designs</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150639 project_image_fid=3556]

From the street, the development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/12-headland-parade-barrack-point-12-headland-parade-barrack-point-nsw-2528">12 Headland Parade</a>&nbsp;features gabled rooflines, muted coastal palette and landscaped frontages that reflect the enduring character of the area.

Inside, the attention to detail continues across open-plan layouts that flow into private alfresco spaces, with select residences enjoying their own inground concrete swimming pool.

The interiors are defined by their use of thoughtful materials and functional sophistication. 40mm 0% silica stone quartz benchtops, brushed brass tapware, and curved v-groove bathroom cabinetry are paired with Polytec kitchen joinery and Lappato-finished terrazzo tiles to create spaces that feel both premium and relaxed.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150639 project_image_fid=3550]

Comfort underfoot is achieved through hybrid European oak flooring and extra heavy-duty loop pile carpets in the bedrooms, while ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning ensures seasonal adaptability.

Each residence includes a garage with epoxy flake flooring, landscaped outdoor areas, and integrated energy-efficient inclusions like 5kW solar photovoltaic systems. These elements reinforce the project’s focus on longevity and liveability, making the homes equally suited to growing families and downsizers alike.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150639 project_image_fid=3558]

Located 160 metres from Little Lake and 400 metres from Warilla Beach, the address sits within walking distance of the Shellharbour Village café strip, Shellharbour North Beach, and the coastal cycleway.&nbsp;

The Shell Cove Marina precinct is a five-minute drive, and Stockland Shellharbour provides broader retail and medical services nearby. Recreational spaces include Dawes Park, Killalea State Park, and Bass Point.

The four townhomes are move-in ready, and start from $1.25 million.

12 Headland Parade delivers rare new-build coastal homes to Barrack Point

Sunset Boulevard was a small, relatively unknown riverfront street on the Nerang River in Surfers Paradise around 18 months ago. However, the street is now set to become a thriving residential hub after the Gold Coast City Council approved several new developments that are poised to transform the character of the area.

The latest development approval on the river is for a 29-level tower by the Sydney-based P&amp;N Sleiman Group. The development, at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/52-sunset-boulevard-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">52 Sunset Boulevard</a>, will be its first in the Gold Coast.

The developer, which only filed the plans in April, is approved for 62&nbsp;two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, as well as two double-level penthouses with their own&nbsp;private rooftop terraces and plunge pools.

Residents will also have access to communal amenity on level three, including a gym, lounge, barbecue facilities, and an infinity-edge pool.

<img alt="First look exclusive: P&amp;N Sleiman plots debut Gold Coast apartment project" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/52%20Sunset%20Boulevarde%20DA.png?VersionId=731rf3Vpi3nKCP69_eNV8kpn4GM0olqO" />

&nbsp;

Also now approved is YHY Group's tower which is crowned by what would be the largest penthouse ever produced on the Gold Coast.

YHY Group, also Sydney-based, is approved for a 33-level building with 74 apartments, across a triple site incorporating&nbsp;56, 58 and 60 Sunset Boulevard.&nbsp;The ninth level will feature a kids play area with an adjoining creche, a lap pool that runs along the edge of the building, a recovery space with a sauna and steam room, a yoga room, a gym, golf simulator, and a wellness spa with a treatment room and a massage room.

Above is another swimming pool, this one with&nbsp;an integrated pool bar and spa which has been oriented to offer gun-barrel views to the Surfers skyline. On the same level is a lounge, a bookable lounge with a kitchen, and a business centre.&nbsp;The ground level is set to feature&nbsp;a grand entry lobby, a cigar room, a cellar, library, study, bar and multiple entertaining areas.

The "Ultra Penthouse" is one of the largest ever pitched on the Gold Coast at 1,449 sqm of internal living space.

&nbsp;

There are five bedrooms spread across the five levels, as well as two staff quarters. The top level is dedicated just to a master suite, with a sauna, a gym, and a spa on the balcony. Including external space, the penthouse totals 2,239 sqm.

<img alt="YHY" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="43381819-fe90-41b5-aa99-90ef3b50fa6b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-08-25%20at%2010.09.56%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=2nISoYh.pFvOEWBIz2X6ytvR.ok4D8V0" />YHY Group's riverfront tower.

The first developer to identify Sunset Boulevard was Roy Skaf's Macquarie York. He has approval for a more boutique, 17-level tower on the river, facing Chevron Island's famous Home of The Arts (HOTA) building. There will be a mix of 43 two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments.

The resident amenity is located on level two and will feature a swimming pool, fire pit area, barbecue space, day beds, gym with a sauna and steam room, work from home space with desks and a boardroom.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-architecture" target="">Plus Architecture</a>, led locally by Danny Juric, says the project has been "meticulously designed to seamlessly blend with its urban and natural surroundings, achieving a harmonious balance between the human-scale streetscape, riverscape, and the emerging skyline."

Speedy approvals set to change the face of Surfers Paradise riverfront street

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/retreat-palm-beach-1177-jefferson-lane-palm-beach-qld-4221">Retreat Palm Beach</a>, the newest apartment development in Palm Beach, is proving highly attractive for those seeking both a holiday escape and the opportunity to generate passive income in the booming Gold Coast apartment market.

Positioned on coveted Jefferson Lane, just one row back from the beach, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/retreat-palm-beach-188-jefferson-lane-palm-beach-qld-4221">Retreat</a> comprises 56 apartments across an architecturally-striking nine-level building. It is being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/ignite-projects">Ignite Projects</a>, the team behind the hugely successful Cabana Palm Beach and The Monaco at Main Beach.

With its premium address and versatile apartment offering, Retreat delivers the best of both worlds: personal use just steps from the sand, plus the potential for strong returns through short-stay holiday letting. Add to this the prospect of continued capital growth in a rising market, and it’s clear why demand for Retreat is already strong.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134965 project_image_fid=1853]

Rental estimates from Hometime suggests the two-bedroom apartments at Retreat, which start from $1.35 million, could net anywhere between $75,000 per annum, based on 80 per cent occupancy, to $89,000, which is based on 85 per cent occupancy. Short-term and long-term letting will see gross rental yields between five to seven per cent.

All signs point to a strong return for both investors and owner-occupiers. Palm Beach's rental vacancy remains below two per cent, while median apartment prices have more than doubled in five years.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134965 project_image_fid=1849]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-architecture">Plus Architecture</a>, the nine-level building draws inspiration from its coastal setting, with soft, curving forms that reflect the movement of sea and sand.&nbsp;

The architecture is complemented by a natural material palette, with bronze tapware, engineered oak flooring, Miele appliances, and natural stone benchtops integrated into thoughtfully zoned open-plan layouts - creating a refined, calming environment that maximises natural light and privacy.

The three-bedroom apartments at Retreat feature king-sized master suites, walk-in butler’s pantries, and secondary living areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134965 project_image_fid=4299]

A key feature of the project is its wellness-focused amenity floor. Residents have exclusive access to a heated lagoon pool, mineral spa, cold plunge, infrared sauna, and gym.

Additional conveniences include floating day loungers, e-bikes, secure surfboard storage, and digital concierge booking for shared spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134965 project_image_fid=1845]

Located just 500 metres from <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a>’s vibrant village hub and 10 minutes from Gold Coast Airport, Retreat combines easy access to the beach with day-to-day convenience in one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held coastal pockets.

Construction is expected to commence in October 2025, with completion scheduled for late 2027.

Prospective buyers only have a few weeks to walk through the onsite display suite, which is soon to be demolished as part of the commencement of construction.

Four Sydney residences eligible for the $15,000 HomeBuilder Grant

The City of Parramatta Council has approved plans to build a 25-storey apartment building in Granville, set to be delivered by Chinese developer Starryland.

Located at 26-38 Good Street and 59-61 Cowper Street, the developer acquired the amalgamation of commercial sites from private owners for $36 million.

The 5,150sqm mixed-use site will offer 373 residences, along with residents’ communal gardens, barbeque facilities and 1,171sqm of retail space.

The developer, an Australian division of the Chinese publicly listed company Fuxing Huiyu Real Estate, has previously worked on projects within the Parramatta CBD, including the $550 million sold-out Promenade at Parramatta project.

According to Starryland’s managing director Hao Liu, Granville is considered an undervalued suburb in the Parramatta region.

“[It] is predicted to one of the upcoming Sydney hotspots”, Liu said.

The project aims to set a benchmark for quality design and finishes in Granville, sales manager James Swete said.

Situated in close proximity to the Granville train station, the project will focus on providing affordably priced apartments targeting first home buyers and young professionals.

“We don’t want to compete in apartment-heavy suburbs with expensive units", Liu said. "Which is why we believe in the areas in Sydney’s west which need more homes.”

Granville, which boasts some of the most affordable house prices in Sydney, has seen growing developer competition with the presence of multiple projects in recent years. According to Liu, not only will this competition this place Granville on the housing map, but it will pave the way for better sales for Starryland's new development.

The project will be designed by PBD Architects, who were assigned to the project after participating in a competitive design process involving three nominated architects.

Property investors and owner-occupiers seeking growth may well cast their eye over a new university campus based within the Westmead Health and Innovation District in Parramatta.

The framework agreement between the NSW Government and the University of Sydney will see the campus built adjacent to the Westmead hospitals and is likely to draw 25,000 students and 2,500 staff by 2055. 
Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said having a university campus at the core of the Westmead Health and Innovation District will drive innovation and catalyse future growth.

“Having the University at the core of the Westmead Health and Innovation District will help transform the district into a powerhouse of invention, creativity, and commercialisation, and home to world-leading enterprises, start-ups, researchers and students,” Mr Ayres said.

NSW Government’s vision for the District is expected to create more than 20,000 new jobs and contribute an additional $2.8 billion of economic output per year to the NSW economy.
