Perth’s new apartment market recorded its strongest quarter of sales since Q4 2021, with 412 apartments sold in Q1 2026 and a record quarterly sold value of $537 million, according to Urbis’ latest Apartment Essentials results.

Urbis said the March quarter result reflects strong, highly product‑specific demand across both ends of the market, from more attainable projects delivering at scale, through to premium stock being absorbed by equity‑rich downsizers.&nbsp;

David Cresp, Partner at Urbis, said the key story in Perth is not demand, it is the market’s ability to convert demand into delivered housing.&nbsp;

“This is the strongest sales quarter since Q4 2021, and it reinforces that demand in Perth is real and it’s local,” David Cresp said. “But the task now is delivery, turning that demand into projects that can actually be built and completed.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=302785]

<h2>Affordable product leads, premium demand remains resilient</h2>

Sales in Q1 were led by more affordable projects, with The Boulevard (SKS Group) recording 115 sales in the quarter, the presentation noting this is only the second time a single project has surpassed 100 quarterly sales. The project was able to offer more affordable housing product right next to a train station.&nbsp;

Palmyra West (Finbar) also delivered strong results with 28 sales in Q1, following 84 sales in Q4, with an average price of under $800,000, underscoring depth of demand for well‑located, attainable new stock.&nbsp;

At the premium end, Urbis said downsizer demand is continuing, with the results highlighting Romeo (Applecross, Finbar) recording 75 sales and reaching almost 50% sold in one quarter.

Jual (Shenton Park, Celsius Property) also posted a strong quarter with 28 sales, reaching 39% sold in one quarter.

Urbis noted that Perth apartment demand is not speculative, not investor‑led, and not uniform, describing it as localised, often equity‑driven and highly product‑specific, a pattern reflected in the polarisation between strong “attainable” performers and premium downsizer product.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148957 project_image_fid=364102]

<h2>Prices underpinned by costs, and the delivery risk is growing</h2>

Urbis said pricing pressure is cost not demand‑driven: construction costs and delivery risk are now a central constraint, with the results noting build costs remain elevated and volatile, and that energy, fuel and labour uncertainty weigh on feasibility.

David Cresp said a growing challenge for private Build‑to‑Sell developers is simply securing a builder in the current environment.

“Developers are really feeling the pressure from a building market that was operating at capacity and securing a builder is challenging,” David Cresp said, adding that even where a builder can be secured, “trying to get to the price that makes the development financially viable is incredibly challenging in the current market.”&nbsp;

Urbis’ broader WA commentary also notes that industry remains at or above capacity with lot and housing creation, and that many builders are limiting new sales to manage stretched workforces and fixed‑price contract pressures, conditions that flow directly into apartment feasibility and delivery timing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108869 project_image_fid=317905]

<h2>Supply: improving later, but still constrained, and Perth lags eastern benchmarks</h2>

While near‑term supply remains constrained, Urbis’ forecast shows completions lifting “Supply is forecast to be back above 1,500 apartments per annum for the first time since 2019”, with 1,775 completions forecast for 2026, and volumes remaining above that level over the following years.&nbsp;

Looking further ahead, completions are forecast to reach 2,500 in 2028, with the report noting 32% of that total is social/affordable, reflecting the role of government‑supported delivery in rebuilding the pipeline.&nbsp;

However, Urbis said Perth remains behind comparable markets on pipeline scale. In a national comparison of projects under construction, the report shows under construction Perth Build‑to‑Sell (BTS) at 3,446 apartments versus the Gold Coast at 7,922. Mr Cresp said “The challenge for Perth is how to we grow the delivery pipeline”.

Urbis’ conclusion is that Perth’s market is increasingly defined by product discipline and delivery certainty, with the research identifying “delivery certainty is key” and calling out builder risk and procurement models as core success factors, alongside “timing and staging”.&nbsp;

Perth apartment sales hit strongest pace since late 2021 as builder capacity tightens

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sammut-developments">Sammut Group</a> has secured development approval for its latest Brisbane apartment project, marking the Sydney developer’s next step in expanding its Queensland pipeline following the success of its debut Gold Coast development, Coast.

The approved project at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/44-glen-road-toowong-qld-4066">44 Glen Road, </a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a> will deliver a 15-storey riverfront apartment building with 42 residences, significantly increasing the scale of the site’s previous approval for a smaller luxury scheme. Designed by Bureau^proberts, the development will comprise a mix of predominantly four-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments positioned to maximise Brisbane River and city views.

Sammut Director Julian Sammut said the group had been actively searching Brisbane for several years before identifying Toowong as the right fit.

“Brisbane was the right step for Sammut,” Sammut said.

“With the success of Coast we thought we should definitely look to do more in Queensland alone. We then pushed up to look at Brisbane. We've been looking for I'd say two to three years actually and it was hard to find the right location.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.14%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dYAVIL7qdcGA8ojvkslSrLjczXFejSSx" />

Sammut said suburbs including New Farm and Teneriffe were considered before the group ultimately focused on Toowong due to its strong downsizer demographic and limited supply of developable riverfront land.

The site was acquired off-market after what Sammut described as a lengthy negotiation and planning process, with the developer pursuing an uplift to the original approval.

“We are DA approved now which is very exciting,” Sammut said.

“We've had our change approval come through and we've obviously doubled the height, 15 storeys plus rooftop. We've got 42 amazing apartments that are going to be coming to market soon.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ohkRkY0dIZlqdfME2EZePsCQavRiBadE" />

Bureau^proberts said the design responds to Toowong’s evolving urban character, balancing contemporary apartment living with the area’s established residential identity.

“A place where traditional Queensland living has taken place for centuries; Toowong is seeing a shift of contemporary influence, commercial and retail hubs mixed with well-considered residential offerings – all the while maintaining its character and charm,” the architect noted in planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council.

The architecture practice said the project’s form was shaped by its riverfront setting, flood considerations, neighbouring building scales, and view corridors.

“They said the mix of four and two-bedroom apartments capture the ‘fundamental qualities of Queenslander living,’ translated into the context of a contemporary subtropical building.”

The development sits just off Coronation Drive within walking distance of Toowong’s retail precinct and the upgraded Regatta ferry terminal, while also benefiting from proximity to the incoming green bridge connection to West End. Sammut said the accessibility and amenity offering were central to the site’s appeal.

The approval adds to growing residential activity along the Toowong riverfront, joining nearby projects including Consolidated Properties’ Monarch Residences and Spyre Group’s ARC Residences.

Sammut secures approval for debut Brisbane apartment development in Toowong

Developer Lanevick is heading back into Sydney’s apartment market after focusing more heavily on the luxury townhouse and terrace sector in recent years.

Lanevick, founded and directed by Steve Maroun, is expecting to receive approval in the coming months for a new apartment development in Gladesville, with the aim to launch it to the market later this year.

The 51-apartment project, designed by Studio Johnston, will comprise a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments positioned toward the Hunters Hill downsizer market.

“Traditionally it’s been difficult for people in that market to downsize because there just hasn’t been the right product available,” Maroun said.

“We’re targeting buyers who might have 30 to 40 per cent of their house value sitting in the bank after downsizing.

“They still want good spacious entertaining areas, they still want quality design, but they also want flexibility and the ability to enjoy life a bit more after working hard for a long time.”

The project sits near Boronia Park and within close proximity to the Parramatta River foreshore, an area Maroun says offers more of a Hunters Hill lifestyle than a traditional apartment precinct.

“From a lifestyle perspective, it’s really more Hunters Hill than Gladesville,” Maroun said. “You’re close to the foreshore, close to parklands, and still connected back into the village precinct.”

From level four and above, apartments will capture water views&nbsp;toward Sydney Harbour. Communal amenity will include rooftop entertaining areas, wellness spaces, and a gym tailored toward owner-occupier buyers.

“We’ve really designed these apartments around that buyer coming from the Hunters Hill LGA and what they’re actually looking for in their next chapter.”

The proposed development has also been designed to respond to the changing character of the broader Gladesville town centre, where a growing number of mixed-use and residential proposals are expected to emerge over the coming years.

“Gladesville presented a rare opportunity to deliver a genuinely design-led residential project within an evolving lifestyle precinct, just moments from the growing Gladesville town centre, and we’ve approached the project with a strong focus on architecture, liveability and long-term community value,” Maroun said.

Maroun said Lanevick saw a first-mover advantage within the precinct as planning controls continue to evolve to accommodate greater housing density.

“We think there’s a real opportunity there that hasn’t really been serviced properly yet,” he said.

“There’s going to be a broader evolution of the whole Gladesville village precinct over time, particularly with more activation and mixed-use outcomes.”

The Venus Street proposal will include a commercial and retail component at ground level designed to contribute to that evolving streetscape activation.

“A big part of the thinking was how do you activate that area properly and create more vibrancy and amenity, which is what Hunters Hill has been looking for,” Maroun said.

Lanevick’s focus since 2020 has largely been on smaller-scale luxury townhouse and terrace developments. The developer recently completed Royale Randwick, also designed by Studio Johnston, where prices reached $3.65 million. The project was featured in the UDIA NSW 2026 Professional Development Prospectus and was also named a finalist for Development of the Year.

Lanevick to cater for Hunters Hill downsizers with new Gladesville apartment development

Property developer One Living, backed by former Macquarie banker turned investment manager Chris Green’s investment firm, has unveiled plans to bring more institutional capital into housing to help address the national supply crisis.

The New York-based investor has focused his firm, GreenPoint Partners, on addressing the supply shortage hitting middle market housing in Australia.

It is backing the new One Living business to develop more than 1000 units along the eastern seaboard. The new firm is starting with a development on Mona Vale Road, on the border of Mona Vale and Pymble, in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, with around 140 apartments planned. They are eyeing off more sites across the city.

With cost pressures rising in the industry, One Living’s model is to be a vertically integrated developer-builder, so it can respond directly to the housing gap by removing the cost inefficiencies embedded in traditional residential delivery.

“We are building a platform designed to operate at scale and starting in a market where there’s a clear need for quality, attainable housing,” One Living joint managing director Joseph Scuderi said.

“It’s that missing middle – it’s that attainable end of housing… that’s what most Australians invest into and what Australians can actually afford.”

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="798dfa93-4941-4db6-a696-31e9dc18e81c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.31.50%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=mKBqi5C_DmeiXS.AtJkcR8LQIxqCqmFi" />

GreenPoint Partners brings years of experience assembling and scaling real estate operating businesses across major markets. And Green sees a big opportunity in Australia.

“For its size, sophistication and importance to the community, Australia’s living sector has remained largely under-institutionalised, which represents significant opportunity,” Green said. “GreenPoint identified that gap, assembled the right team, and is backing One Living to build a platform that is aligned to market needs.”

Green said being a builder-developer would give the company the capacity and flexibility it required to deliver reasonably-priced homes.

“We want it to be at that attainable level; not super high end luxury but at that attainable level,” he said.

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="74a5344a-4b26-4d4a-ada3-056b1220be77" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.32.15%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=vY8hXHO4reBMdO8ZXMWCNtGZJofUPQ3j" />

&nbsp;

One Living will undertake a component of affordable housing in its schemes, which it will own and operate, and it could also run build-to-rent on some sites.

Green praised local policy settings.

“The NSW government is being very supportive, strategic and pragmatic in terms of how do we generate more supply of housing,” he said. “We think it’s actually positive for development and the bit that’s been lacking at that attainable level is that it’s lots of relatively small private developers, whereas we want to create an institutional platform.”

One Living is also&nbsp;looking at high-density projects and could take on more institutional funding in the future.

“The way we will be able to achieve economies of scale is through size,” Green added.

One Living enters Sydney's new apartment market with Northern Beaches site acquisition

It's been several years since there's been an opportunity to buy a brand new townhome in Melbourne's coastal suburb of Mordialloc. Even apartment developments in recent times have been few and far between in the area.

Local developer LDS Property identified the gap in new housing, securing a site on White Street, directly opposite&nbsp;Woodlands Golf Club Mordialloc. They've recently launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/wm-residences-mordialloc-102-white-street-mordialloc-vic-3195">WM Residences</a>, just 13 townhouses which they have already started building.

Projects by Buxton Director Heath Thompson, who is selling WM Residences, says the townhouses x that perfect middle ground be

"Mordialloc residents have had limited options to downsize within the suburb, often forcing them to look elsewhere despite long-standing ties to the area," Thompson says.

"With very little comparable new supply coming to market, projects like WM Residences are well placed, particularly as buyers look to capitalise on current conditions amid constrained supply."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6109]

The development, designed by regarded architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ewert-leaf">Ewert Leaf</a>,&nbsp;adopts a deliberately restrained architectural approach, focusing on simplicity, durability and liveability rather than overt design gestures.

The boutique scale is central to the offering. With only 13 three-bedroom residences, each home is configured to prioritise functional layouts and everyday use, supported by private terraces and secure two-car garages.

Ewert Leaf’s design response leans into a calm, neutral material palette. Interiors are defined by oak flooring, white walls and soft finishes, creating a consistent and understated backdrop. The approach avoids trend-driven detailing in favour of longevity, with an emphasis on natural light and spatial clarity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6110]

Beyond aesthetics, the homes are designed to meet contemporary performance expectations. Each residence targets a minimum 6-star energy rating, incorporating double glazing, comprehensive insulation and all-electric Bosch appliances.

The project’s location supports a walkable coastal lifestyle, sitting within close proximity to Mordialloc’s foreshore, Main Street retail strip and the train station. Local cafés and dining venues, including Suburbia Deli and Hendriks Café, are within a short walk, reinforcing the area’s established neighbourhood character.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6116]

While <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/mordialloc-vic-3195">Mordialloc</a> is often defined by its beach and pier, the project taps into other areas of day to day living, offering easy access to local food, casual dining and transport, rather than positioning itself purely as a lifestyle retreat.

WM Residences reflects a continued trend across Melbourne’s coastal suburbs towards smaller-scale, design-led townhouse developments, particularly on infill sites where proximity to amenity is already established.

With construction commenced prior to its market entry, the project aligns with a growing preference among buyers for developments with visible progress and defined delivery timeframes.

Developers are setting their sites further west as the expansion of Sydney continues.

A Metropolis of Three Cities, the Eastern Harbour City, the Central River City and the Western Parkland City, known as The Regional Plan, has been prepared by the Greater Cities Commission in a 40 year vision for Metropolitan Sydney.&nbsp;

It envisions a 30-minute city, where residents live within 30 minutes travel of their job, education and health facilities, services and great places.

The Regional Plan projects that almost half of the population growth in Greater Sydney over the next 40 years will reside west of Parramatta in the Central River City and the Western Parkland City, where two development applications have been lodged.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of the ground floor space proposed for the Bringelly Rd project" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bbf30051-f0f3-4c8c-a844-7a1306ee192d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-09%20at%2010.48.19%20am.png?VersionId=wqVeFIPL7Tj4Dq_42D5uu64srcyw97iC" />

Plans have been laid for a four-building development at 313 Bringelly Road.&nbsp;

The Salvo Group, who are a Melbourne-based property group, engaged CM+ to design the three, four-level mixed-use buildings.&nbsp;

There will be 242 apartments delivered across the buildings, with 67 to be included in block A, 84 in block B, and 91 across block C.&nbsp;

The project will be one of the area’s early developments and will foster transformation of the northern part of the Leppington Town Centre.

The site’s rural character will be transformed into a vibrant and multifunctional community that facilitates urban living

It’s projected that the population of Western Parkland City will grow to 1.1 million by 2036 and to over 1.5 million by 2056.

The mixed use development will offer living and working opportunities close to Leppington Station, approximately 400-800 metre walking distance from the site.&nbsp;

It will also create a high amenity living precinct, close to public infrastructure, such as&nbsp; the Leppington Train Station and TfNSW Commuter Car Park, along with open spaces including the future green spaces along Scalabrini Creek and Western Sydney Parklands.

<img alt="Render of the proposed Ingleburn Rd project" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2f1ffcf5-00ed-4c9e-8505-afc9399f73ac" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-09%20at%2010.50.33%20am.png?VersionId=Y5VTwnwYJopVybqJLoT_ueIxCU8HCXLM" />Render of the proposed Ingleburn Rd project

There’s further development planned near Leppington Town Centre, on the corner of Ingleburn Rd and Byron Rd.

The plans are for a medium density apartment building, which will deliver a further 63 apartments to the area surrounding the town centre and 18 townhouses.

The development is identified by two building forms, one being a four-storey apartment building consisting of four cores that wraps around the Ingleburn Rd and Byron Rd corner, along with walk-up terrace style homes.&nbsp;

A mix of natural materials will be utilised, tying the project to the surrounding native landscape, with a fine-grain two-tone fibre cement panel facade donning the buildings.&nbsp;

Urban Link Architects are behind the designs of the plans, which will deliver 17 one-bed, 25 two-bed and 21 three-bedroom apartments, along with 18 townhouses.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of the proposed Ingleburn Rd project" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="971f08cc-6cce-4da1-9255-47ea2cd7e727" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-09%20at%2010.50.45%20am.png?VersionId=EUsALOGaDDbXRHnZczjxGRWyYnRBgXVP" />Render of the proposed Ingleburn Rd project

Separating the two forms will be a communal open space across the ground floor, featuring deep planting creating a pocket park-like atmosphere, outdoor seating space and barbecue facilities, as well as recreational space on level three.&nbsp;

The growth of Western Parkland City is enhanced by the recently finalised Aerotropolis Planning, which will deliver the new Western Sydney Airport at Badgerys Creek Aerotropolis.

The developments also sit within proximity to Leppington Town Centre, along with being just 30-minutes from Sydney Airport, 30 kilometres from Parramatta CBD and about 50 kilometres from the Sydney CBD.

The precinct is also in proximity to Liverpool CBD, which is currently Sydney’s third CBD.

Leppington’s connectivity will be further improved as well by future train links to Western Sydney Aerotropolis.

Camden City set for two residential developments

South-West Sydney rezonings in Glenfield, Leppington and Lowes Creek Maryland are set to create more than 16,000 homes. 
&nbsp; 
Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes said the NSW Government was responding to the increased demand for greenfield housing as a result of the pandemic.

&quot;We are accelerating these rezonings,&rdquo; Mr Stokes said. 
&nbsp; 
The rezoning of Leppington Precinct stages two and five will allow for up to 2,400 new homes.

The Lowes Creek Maryland rezoning (above and below) will support 7,000 homes for 20,000 people.

<img alt="" height="2927" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/marylands_lowes_creek_3_05a.jpg" width="4500" /> 
&nbsp; 
&ldquo;We&rsquo;re also finalising the Glenfield Precinct Place Strategy, expected to create up to 7,000 new homes and 2,900 new jobs. 
&nbsp; 
&ldquo;More homes need more parks, that&rsquo;s why as part of these land releases we&rsquo;ve secured 75 hectares of parkland at Glenfield, 62 hectares at Lowes Creek Maryland and 16 hectares at Leppington.&rdquo;

Tom Forrest, CEO at the Urban Taskforce welcomed the announcement on the rezoning of land for 16,000 new homes in South-West Sydney.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7317 project_image_fid=79245] 
&nbsp; 
&quot;This announcement shows, that with political will and strong leadership, the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment can take the lead to deliver strong growth in housing approvals to drive down the price of new homes. 
&nbsp; 
&quot;This shows what DPIE can do when given clear political leadership.&nbsp;

&quot;State led rezoning will be the most efficient way to get big projects going. 
&nbsp; 
&quot;The Minister for Planning, in June, committed to fast-tracking the decisions on these precincts.&nbsp;

&quot;The commitment acknowledged that there is a housing supply crisis in NSW, and this is driving up the prices of homes, making them unaffordable.&quot; 
&nbsp; 
Forrest added the most recent new homes completion data was again disappointing for Greater Sydney, with new home completions falling well short of the Greater Sydney Commission and NSW Housing Strategy 2021 targets.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=32227 project_image_fid=93951]

&quot;The NSW Housing Strategy shows we need at least 40,000 approvals for Greater Sydney every year for the next 20 years.

&quot;In the year to March &ndash; there were on 29,500 new home completions despite the construction industry going flat out during 2020 and the first COVID wave. 
&nbsp; 
&quot;Reversing the drop-off in new home and apartment approvals is critical to solving the housing affordability crisis.&nbsp;

&quot;We will need many more announcements like this if the Minister is committed to making a serious dent into the real, accumulated shortage of approximately 100,000 new homes.&nbsp;

&quot;The same attention and enthusiasm given to the South-West needs to be extended across Greater Sydney for all housing types,&quot; Forrest said.

The rezoning of Leppington Precinct stages two and five will allow for up to 2,400 new homes while in Lowes Creek Maryland, rezoning will support approximately 7,000 homes for 20,000 people

South-West Sydney rezonings will see 16,400 new homes

Rawson Communities&rsquo; latest community of Leppington Central delivers the ideal family living experience in Sydney&rsquo;s south-west.

Situated on Heath Road, the site is anchored by a heritage cottage, a rural remnant of the Tegal family farm, one of the first poultry farms in NSW.

The cottage was one of the secondary buildings on site, likely the home of one of the Tegel sons, and not the main homestead itself, according to the development application.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28100 project_image_fid=141042]

&ldquo;The cottage is the most valuable house within the development&rdquo;, the architects said. It provides the foundation of their understanding of the architectural style of the property.

<blockquote>
&ldquo;We seek to draw on the art-deco language, as well as sit with the remnant piece of architecture on site in the heritage cottage&rdquo;, they said.
</blockquote>

A gate, which still stands from the same period, represents the high optimistic art-deco period, even more so than the cottage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28100 project_image_fid=141047]

The heritage features speak of the absolute moment of success when industry was booming and discretionary spend could be afforded on the front entrance.

Leppington Central is set to provide 75 three-bedroom residences on the site, boasting spacious floorplans and convenient access to amenities.

A range of employment and community facilities are planned close by, including business centres, shopping centres, schools and universities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28100 project_image_fid=141045]

A hardstand barbeque area has been included centrally for easy access from all the homes.

Other amenities include a pedestrian loop with a small playground, aimed to entertain toddlers and younger children. &nbsp;

Leppington Central also offers land packages to buyers interested in capitalising on this affordable suburb.

Construction Equipment Australia (CEA) have committed to a 12-year lease on a new $27 million facility in Leppington, a suburb in south-west Sydney.
The Australian machinery distributer will be leasing a space within the Bringelly Business Hub being developed in Joint Venture by Charter Hall and ESR CIP, a wholly owned subsidiary of ESR.
The facility is set on a total of 22,000 square metres, comprising a combined gross lettable area of 7,763 square metres.
It will house a workshop, warehouse and operational areas, including 1,575 square metres for a showroom space.
Hylton Taylor, Chief Executive Officer for CEA, said "the prime locale of the facility will allow CEA to play a key role in providing construction machinery to the projects contributing to the fast-paced development of Western Sydney".
The design and procurement of the facility has been overseen by specialist supply chain and property consultancy firm, TM Insight.
The firm will also project manage the construction of the building and help with the transitionary period.
ESR Australia CEO Philip Pearce stated: “ESR is please to secure a customer of the quality of CEA as the first commitment to Bringelly Business Hub, which is planned to be a landmark park in a growing precent of south Western Sydney with a built out area in excess of 80,000 square metres with end value of circa $120 million.”
The warehouse is aiming to achieve a five-star energy rating through use of solar technology, water recycling and responsible resourcing of materials. 
CEA expects the facility to be operational in October 2019.

Leppington's latest prospective medium density development has asserted itself as one of the emerging apartment enclaves largest.

The abundance of large greenfield blocks has not only given way to detached housing estates, but also an increasing number of hulking, albeit low and medium rise apartment developments. Leppington's relatively close proximity to the Western Sydney Airport has seen a rush of apartment developments come forth, with 297 Bringelly Road one of the latest.

Under plans lodged with Camden Council during June, 360 apartments are expected within two apartment buildings spanning 8 levels.

Urban Link's design for entity G and A Mourched Pty Ltd would replace an early learning centre and vacant land across the site. The development is a mere 100 metres from Leppington Railway Station.

297 Bringelly Road's bulk and almost utilitarian exterior expression are balanced out by the liberal landscaping atop and surrounding both buildings. Melissa Wilson Landscape Architects have handled the project's green aspects; given there's little existing civic infrastructure in the area the inclusion of large green areas across the site has taken on added importance.

To that end, both the buildings are bisected by a green spine, with internal courtyards also included within the U-shaped buildings.

Every available square metre across both rooftops has also been dedicated to communal green space. Included on either rooftop is a BBQ area, playground, vegetable garden and viewing platforms.

<figcaption>Ground level expectations. Planning image: Urban Link</figcaption></figure>Leppington's emergence as another Sydney apartment hub dates back to 2015 when rezoning was confirmed for the area, allowing for a future expected population of 30,000 people. Approximately 50 kilometres south-west of the Sydney CBD, the priority growth area includes a major centre surrounding Leppington Railway Station.

Aside from 297 Bringelly Road which sits north of the station on the Bus 855 route, the bulk of other apartment developments are sited south of the station.

Approved is <a href="/new-townhouses/76-rickard-road-leppington">76 Rickard Road</a> which gained the nod during late 2017 via the Sydney Western City Planning Panel, whilst various other projects of note are under assessment. <a href="/new-apartments/202-byron-road-leppington">202 Byron Road</a>, 215 Rickard Road and <a href="/new-apartments/120-ingleburn-road-leppington">120 Ingleburn Road</a> are still active at planning and have the ability to add as many as 2,157 apartments when combined with 297 Bringelly Road.

It is though not all smooth sailing for developers wishing to stake a claim in Leppington. <a href="/new-apartments/leppington-nsw-2179">28 Ingleburn Road</a> was refused early during 2018, with a similar fate dealt to <a href="/new-apartments/35-ingleburn-road-leppington">35 Ingleburn Road</a> only last month.
