The partnership brings together two highly experienced businesses with a strong track record in quality, delivery and creating well-established neighbourhoods, and marks an important milestone in the next stage of delivery at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/lovedale-farm-1054-1184-wine-country-drive-lovedale-nsw-2325">Lovedale Farm</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14476 project_image_fid=362418]

The near-300 sqm display home, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, is one of a collection of homes custom designed specifically for the project. It features a generous master suite with impressive three-metre ceilings, dedicated golf buggy parking, and a farmhouse kitchen complete with a butler’s pantry. Premium upgrades that further enhance the home include an outdoor kitchen, walk-in wine display and gas fireplace.

Pricing for homes at Lovedale Farm starts from $1.14 million for a 255 sqm, four-bed home with rumpus and double-garage on a 504 sqm lot.

The opening will give off-the-plan buyers, future residents and the broader community the opportunity to step inside the home, experience the design and finishes firsthand, and learn more about the homes and land now available at Lovedale Farm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14476 project_image_fid=362426]

Jim Hunter, Managing Director of Capital Corporation, said the partnership builds on a strong history of successful collaboration between the two groups.

“This is not our first collaboration. Capital Corporation has partnered with Eden Brae Homes across several successful communities, including Fairway Views and Fairway Gardens neighbourhoods at Kellyville,” Hunter said.

“Lovedale Farm represents a continuation of that proven partnership, underpinned by a shared focus on quality, delivery and creating places people are proud to call home. We are pleased to be bringing that experience to the Hunter Valley.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14476 project_image_fid=334205]

Arthur Ilias, General Managing Director of Eden Brae Homes, said the Lovedale Farm display home showcases the lifestyle and craftsmanship buyers can expect and marks an exciting new chapter for the project.

“Lovedale Farm presents a rare opportunity to create homes that are custom designed for their setting, with refined layouts, quality inclusions and a strong connection to the way people want to live in the Hunter Valley,” Ilias said.

Aqualand Group’s new investment and development platform, Aqualand Prestige, has secured its first successful end-to-end equity investment, partnering with real estate investment group, Phoenix Property Investors (Phoenix), to deliver its new Roseville residential development.

The joint venture represents a significant milestone for Aqualand Prestige, leveraging off the group’s broader project pipeline, delivery capability and vertically integrated operating model.The transaction also marks the continuation of Phoenix Property Investors’ long-term strategy investing with capable partners to deliver high quality residential projects in Sydney and Melbourne.

Phoenix Property Investors is an established real estate asset manager with a long track record of investments across developed Asia markets including, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea and Australia, for, and on behalf of, its clients, partnering with leading local developers on residential, commercial, hotel and mixed-use projects in major metropolitan markets.&nbsp;

The Roseville project at 2-4 Larkin Street will&nbsp;comprise a part-nine, part-10-storey development with around 111 apartments. Development approval is anticipated for late March, with sales to commence later in the year.

Jin Lin, Managing Director of Aqualand Group, said the joint venture marks a defining moment for the group’s new investment delivery platform.&nbsp;

“Securing our first end-to-end equity investment under the Aqualand Prestige brand is a major milestone and a strong endorsement of the platform we’ve built," Lin says.

"It provides capital partners with the opportunity to directly leverage Aqualand’s broader development expertise, construction capability and proven track record of delivery, while allowing us to deliver smaller scale residential projects with the same level of design excellence and certainty that has defined Aqualand over the past decade.”

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151353 project_image_fid=353251]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-anderson-chatswood-54-56-anderson-street-chatswood-nsw-2067">The Anderson</a> offers a diverse range of apartment configurations, from one to four-bedrooms, including two 200 sqm double-storey penthouses. The tower, by AJC Architects, has been designed to intergenerational families and downsizers.

The apartments at The Anderson feature open-plan living areas that flow onto generous balconies, designed to capture natural light and expansive, never-to-be-built-out views toward Chatswood’s heritage precinct, with ocean glimpses from upper levels.

Interiors are defined by a restrained palette, premium fixtures and gallery-inspired wardrobe spaces, reflecting AJC’s considered approach to residential design.

Construction is now underway at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/cumulus-grand-villas-carrara-17-baltimore-court-carrara-qld-4211">Cumulus Grand Villas</a> in Carrara, with all stages fully funded as <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/venturecrowd-property-projects">VentureCrowd</a> progresses its 59-residence gated community on an elevated ridgeline overlooking 100 hectares of natural savanna.

The commencement marks a key milestone for the Gold Coast project, designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a> and being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/devcon">Devcon Property Group</a>, at a time when buyers are placing greater emphasis on delivery certainty and builder track record.

With Devcon active in South East Queensland since 1993 and having delivered more than 1,000 homes, the team is positioning Cumulus as a fully financed, under-construction offering in a market where risk mitigation has become a central consideration for off-the-plan purchasers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360496]

Located at 17 Baltimore Court, Cumulus Grand Villas comprises 59 three- and four-bedroom villas across four collections, Skyline, Canopy, Savanna and Broadview. Pricing starts from $1,455,000, with completion of the first stage targeted for Q4 2026.

Across the four collections, each design represents an expansive and thoughtfully considered offering. The Broadview provides additional flexibility within its floorplan, incorporating a multipurpose room or optional additional bedroom, and is priced from $1,895,000.&nbsp;

Configured across two levels, the four-bedroom villas feature two master bedrooms with private ensuites, as well as a multipurpose room (MPR), supporting intergenerational living, guest accommodation, or the creation of a dedicated retreat space.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360497]

The main living areas are positioned on the ground floor, while the bedrooms are located upstairs, a configuration that promotes both family separation and connected living. All villas include a second master suite on the ground floor, reinforcing the project’s focus on flexibility and long-term adaptability.

That adaptability was central to BDA Architecture’s design approach. The team sought to create a sophisticated, low-maintenance product that makes the most of the site’s elevation and outlook while responding to evolving household needs. Expansive glazing, open-plan interiors and private outdoor areas draw in natural light and frame views towards the savanna, hinterland and Broadbeach skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360470]

VentureCrowd Director of Property David Whitting said the project responds to a growing group of buyers reassessing what premium living on the Gold Coast looks like.

Flexible floorplans have proven particularly relevant for purchasers aged between 40 and 65, including next home buyers, downsizers and investors. The inclusion of dual master suites in the Broadview design, along with options for a downstairs MPR or guest bedroom, allows homes to adapt as family dynamics shift, whether accommodating older parents, adult children, or extended stays.

Across the community, villas are specified with European appliances and premium fixtures and fittings, alongside double garages and landscaped private areas. The gated enclave includes number plate recognition entry, reinforcing a focus on security and exclusivity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360474]

Lifestyle amenity is anchored by the Infinity Terrace, an elevated communal space incorporating a 20m heated pool, alfresco zones and barbecue facilities, designed as a shared retreat within the neighbourhood. A two-acre private nature reserve with walking trails and rehabilitated bushland further integrates the development with its savanna-edge setting, reflecting a broader masterplan initiative to restore native vegetation and habitat corridors.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/carrara-qld-4211">Carrara</a>’s positioning continues to attract attention from prestige buyers seeking proximity to the coast without beachfront pricing. The suburb offers access to major retail centres including Pacific Fair and Robina Town Centre, is around 15 minutes from Broadbeach, and benefits from connectivity via the M1 to Brisbane and the Gold Coast Airport.

VentureCrowd’s Cumulus Grand Villas in Carrara advances with construction underway

Joint venture partners <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/perifa">PERIFA</a> are officially launching the third and final residential stage at their landmark $350 million harbourfront precinct, Putney Wharf, with The Residences representing the final opportunity to secure a new home within this rare waterfront destination.

Strong demand has already been established across the earlier stages of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-residences-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf</a>, with more than 50 per cent sold ahead of this final release. The Residences will introduce a selection of the precinct’s most premium apartments, many of which were deliberately reserved for this concluding stage.

Located at 20 Waterview Street, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/putney-nsw-2112">Putney</a> NSW, the completed precinct will comprise 67 residences, including 18 terraces and 49 apartments, alongside five retail tenancies and a 36-berth marina.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=1338]

Developed alongside partners Phoenix Property Investors and Mitsubishi Estate Asia, Putney Wharf occupies a prized 300-metre stretch of absolute waterfront and incorporates the historic former Halvorsen’s Boatshed. The precinct connects directly to surrounding parklands via a landscaped foreshore walkway and a large, landscaped podium linking both sides of the development to the adjoining foreshore parklands.

The Residences comprise two newly built, three-storey apartment buildings delivering a boutique collection of 30 generously proportioned waterfront apartments. Designed to capture harbour outlooks, natural light and cooling breezes, The Residences balance architectural refinement with relaxed, low-maintenance living.

Architecturally designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, the apartments continue the cohesive design language seen across the broader precinct. A refined palette of light and dark materials, softer-toned stone and neutral, earthy finishes reflect the surrounding landscape and harbour setting. Interiors feature painted timber veneers, tactile joinery, timber flooring to living spaces and 100 per cent natural wool carpets in bedrooms, creating warm and sophisticated homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362525]

Justin Brown, Executive Chairman and Founder of Abadeen, said the release of the final residential stage marks an important milestone for the project.

“Putney Wharf brings together everything we’ve learned over more than 25 years of development,” Brown said. “It respects the site’s extraordinary maritime history while delivering contemporary homes that connect people directly to the harbour.

The Residences offer the rare combination of low-maintenance apartment living, waterfront outlooks with beautiful sunset views, and the convenience of retail and amenity at your doorstep. For boating enthusiasts, the opportunity to secure a private marina berth completes a truly unique Sydney harbourfront lifestyle.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=291197]

PERIFA Managing Director and Co-Founder Fabrizio Perilli added that the diversity of housing across the precinct has been central to the project’s success.

“Whether it’s the heritage Halvorsen’s apartments, the Waterview Terraces or now The Residences, Putney Wharf offers a range of homes that respond to different lifestyles, all united by an unrivalled harbourfront setting,” Perilli said. “This is a precinct that will add lasting value to the Putney community.”

Managing project marketing and sales, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/srm-residential">SRM Residential</a> Partner Tim Rees said the final release has already attracted strong demand reflecting the project’s unique harbourfront position and the success of earlier stages.

“Following the strong response to both the Halvorsen’s Boatshed residences and the Waterview Terraces, The Residences represent the final chance to secure a new home within this tightly held waterfront precinct,” Rees said.

“Buyers are drawn to the rare combination of absolute harbour frontage, parkside living and genuine architectural quality.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362240]

Putney Wharf is a one-of-a-kind mixed-use destination, delivering an exclusive residential offering alongside waterfront dining, retail and a 36-berth marina designed to the latest Australian Standards, accommodating vessels up to 18 metres and helping address Sydney Harbour’s ongoing marina shortage.

The precinct will include five retail tenancies and a prominent waterfront jetty area fronting the retail village, creating an activated harbourfront destination for residents and visitors alike.

Residents will enjoy direct access to lush harbourfront parklands, a public foreshore walkway and landscaped podium gardens connecting the development to the surrounding waterfront reserve.

Construction across the Putney Wharf precinct is expected to be completed by Q2 2027.

Final Harbourfront release in Putney Wharf launches this weekend

Paramount on Parkes

The leading Western Sydney apartment developer, ALAND, has seen a sharp pick up in investor sales in the last quarter.

At their Parramatta tower, Paramount on Parkes, ALAND&nbsp;saw a 54 per cent uplift in purchases by investors over the last quarter, with&nbsp;ALAND's Chief Executive&nbsp;George Tadrosse saying that&nbsp;demand for quality affordable apartments in Sydney is outstripping supply, which is good news for savvy investors and homebuyers seeking solid future growth.

"There will be very little stock coming onto the unit market over the next 24 months and that is largely due to increased government red tape and increased demand from several buyer types," Tadrosse said, suggesting that those who wait might find themselves out of options.

“Demand for units is high as rising interest rates encourage domestic buyers to shift their focus to the apartment market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164849]

"But now that international borders have opened up, apartment purchasers will also have to face competition from foreign residents who may be looking to rent or buy in Sydney,” Tadrosse said, adding that the two-fold demand was especially good news for investors.

Located at 14-20 Parkes Street Harris Street, Paramount on Parkes offers a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments across a 39-level building, along with a resort-inspired pool with a 300 sqm terrace and barbecue area, lush landscaping, and residents’-only children’s play areas.

Construction is well underway on the project and completion is slated for late 2023.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=181002]

The supply shortage is only set to be exacerbated by the recent announcement to raise the home loan deposit scheme threshold to $900,000 this coming July allowing more first home buyers and first-time investors to enter the market while they can.

While this month’s interest rate rise has given both owner-occupiers and investors pause for thought, Sydney’s unit market remains strong and is shaping up as a popular space for homebuyers, investors and renters alike

“For owner-occupiers, a rate rise can feel more onerous but for investors, it is far less concerning as the interest component of an investor loan is largely tax deductible. We may see a lift in asking rents as interest rates increase, as landlords look to offset any additional expense,” said Tadrosse.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164851]

“The good news for owner-occupiers is that lending policies have accounted for an inevitable rate rise to help future proof the serviceability of loans,” he added.

New data from CoreLogic supports the strength of the apartment market, indicating rents are now outpacing those of houses. In its latest Quarterly Rental Review, CoreLogic showed national unit rents have bucked the trend seen since May 2019 and actually rose at a faster pace than national house rents over the first three months of 2022, recording a quarterly growth of 3 per cent while houses only increased by 2.4 per cent.

Similar to the national results, unit rents in the combined capitals also outperformed house rents over the first quarter, increasing 3.1 per cent compared to 2.2 per cent. According to the CoreLogic report, the median Sydney unit rent by the end of March was $546 a week, an 8.3 per cent change over 12 months.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164857]

Compared to the previous quarter, gross rental yields for units also rose across Sydney, up 2.3 per cent during the quarter to 3.1 per cent.

Bianca Anton, General Manager of ALAND, said switched on investors are realising the true value of bricks and mortar as a long-term strategy and see units as the more affordable path to that financial freedom.

“Buyers are becoming more educated about the pending gap in their wealth creation so are looking for ways to ride the apartment price wave as far as possible. And with only a limited amount of new apartments available in Sydney right now, it really is a race of ‘first in, best dressed’ especially for those seeking to secure quality property,” she said.

Developer ALAND reveals investor sales soar as demand drives up rental yield

ALAND see apartment investors pour back into to Sydney's west

Pent up demand in Sydney has been released at Paramount on Parkes in Parramatta, one of the first apartment buildings to launch sales since Sydney came out of its prolonged lockdown.

The launch of sales at Paramount on Parkes, the 39-level tower&nbsp;to be developed by the well respected and local developer ALAND, saw 25 sales secured over the weekend, with a further 60 appointment scheduled.

ALAND released the first 135 apartments of the 294-apartment tower, designed by Sketch Design Group and Stanisic Architects, which were&nbsp;a hit with investors and owner-occupiers.

They were drawn to Paramount's prime location on the fringe of Parramatta, a stones throw from Parramatta train station&nbsp;and minutes from riverside parks, shopping precincts and a number of fine dining restaurants, bars, and cafes.

The spacious floorplans were also a tick for buyers, as well as the state of the art amenities which will include a resort-style pool on the podium level, a 300 sqm rooftop terrace with barbecue area, lush landscaped gardens with local Western Sydney flora, and resident-only children’s play areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=181002]

Buyers so far have been predominantly young couples&nbsp;and young families in their early and mid 30's, moving to the area from within a 10 kilometre radius of Parramatta.

The first stage will see 10 one-bedroom apartments up for grabs&nbsp;from $573,000,&nbsp;115&nbsp;two-bedroom apartments starting at&nbsp;$767,000, and 10&nbsp;three-bedroom apartments starting at&nbsp;$1.083 million.

ALAND Sales Director, Mark Bernberg, said purchasers are keen to see new supply become available that also represents great value for money.

"Paramount on Parkes has created a lot of buzz among buyers who‘ve spent their lockdown period reassessing what qualities they’re seeking in a home," Bernberg said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164856]

"Given the excellent lifestyle amenities of this flagship development and its very convenient location, it offers an extraordinary move for homeowners and investors alike."

Each apartment is designed to maximise light and space with floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic district views and covered balconies.

Finished with neutral colour palettes so buyers can add their own personal touch, the apartments also have ducted air-conditioning, Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, Grohe tapware and marble surfaces.

Some apartments come with the option of convenient study nooks and additional storage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164848]

Head of Development for ALAND, Ryan Lane, said the premium Western Sydney development had been a passion project for the family-run business, which is also the major sponsor of the NRL’s Parramatta Eels.

“With the ALAND name proudly emblazoned on the jerseys of the local team every weekend, we feel that we’ve earned our place as part of the fabric that makes up Parramatta. The launch of Paramount on Parkes now further cements that position,” Lane said.

Lane added that with Parramatta taking pride of place as Sydney’s second CBD, the dynamic destination has become a highly desirable location for both owner occupiers and investors.

“As the geographical heart of Sydney, Parramatta offers its residents a wealth of cultural, educational and employment opportunities. And with the second airport at Badgerys Creek underway, as well as easy access to other transport links, it will soon offer locals even more convenient travel connections,” Lane added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164853]

Paramount on Parkes is an approximate 10-minute walk to riverfront reserves or the Parramatta Wharf and is a short stroll from the soon-to-be-completed Parramatta Square employment hub and Civic Centre.

There are a number of local attractions, including&nbsp;Eat Street, Riverside Theatre, the Powerhouse Precinct, walking tracks, cycleways and the 85ha of green space at Parramatta Park.&nbsp;Westfield Parramatta is 600m from the doorstep.

In addition to a number of in-demand public and private schools in the vicinity, Parramatta is also home to campuses for the University of Western Sydney and University of Sydney.

Sales surge at launch weekend of Parramatta apartments Paramount on Parkes

The general consensus&nbsp;among property investors is that Parramatta, Sydney's second CBD, continues to be undervalued.

Parramatta is a focal point for economic activity; the&nbsp;$27 billion economy ranking as the third largest in Australia, only behind Sydney and Melbourne.

A&nbsp;commitment to infrastructure has made Parramatta a convenient and well-connected location to work and live in, with the&nbsp;number of jobs within Parramatta’s local government area&nbsp;expected to almost double by 2036.

Some of Australia's leading businesses and government branches are making the leap to Parra with NAB, the&nbsp;Department of Education, Western Sydney University and University of NSW among them.

Parramatta is a hub of connectivity with express trains, frequent bus services and upgrades to the M4 as well as the planned Metro West line.

$3.4 billion has already been committed by the NSW government over the next 10 years to the&nbsp;Westmead Health Precinct, currently&nbsp;Parramatta’s largest employment sector.

The investment potential in Parramatta has property investors enquiring on Paramount on Parkes, the new&nbsp;tower developed by the respected local developer, ALAND.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164848]

Top on a priority list for property investors is the apartment's&nbsp;proximity to transport and local infrastructure.

The 42-level tower of 294&nbsp;apartments is located&nbsp;just a five minute walk to Parramatta Station, and bordering the well-known horse racing spot of Rosehill which lights up on Saturday's with punters.

Prices start from $573,000 at Paramount on Parkes, less than the $610,000 suburb median apartment price. Two-beds range between&nbsp;$767,000 and $922,000,&nbsp;while three-bedroom apartment&nbsp;begin at $1,083,000.

Parramatta's demographic is younger than the average of Greater Sydney, with 46 per cent&nbsp;of residents aged between 25 and 39 years old, according to the most recent census data.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164856]

In 2016, 71 per cent&nbsp;of Parramatta locals were renting, with 84 per cent&nbsp;of all residents living in apartments.&nbsp;

Over the last decade to March 2020, Parramatta apartments have seen six per cent capital growth per annum.

Why investors are targeting ALAND's Paramount on Parkes, Parramatta apartments

Paramount on Parkes, the latest apartment tower to hit the market in Parramatta, has been&nbsp;strategically located to take advantage of Sydney's second CBD, but on the fringe of the continually expanding area to give it a sense of freedom from the busy city streets.

The glass-swathed tower, which is being developed by ALAND, the main sponsor of the Parramatta Eels, will rise 39 levels from its Parkes Street address, which puts it closer to four parks and reserves than it does the Parramatta train station.

That itself however is just a 600 metre walk to the west, offering commuters who aren't based in the Parramatta CBD an equally convenient commute to work. Two blocks up from Paramount on Parkes is the Harris St Light Rail stop.

To the east of the building, designed by ALAND's inhouse architecture team, is four reserves, including the popular Queen's Wh​arf Reserve on the banks of the Parramatta River. ALAND designed the building having been inspired by the curves of the winding river.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164850]

The foot of the building itself will offer considerable convenience, with a number of street-level retail as part of the entry, flanking the luxury lobby with grand hotel-style marble finishes and soaring ceilings.

Westfield Parramatta is only 600 metres away, the closest retail precinct.

Nearby is the popular&nbsp;Church&nbsp;Street, a famed foodie haven&nbsp;lined with bars, cafes and restaurants like&nbsp;Alex and Co, El-Phoenician,&nbsp;Mama and Papas, Ray and Lou's, Sicilian Parramatta, The Meat and Wine Co and Coco Cubano.

There are no less than seven schools within walking distance, from Parramatta, Arthur Phillip and Macacrthuth Girls High School's, to Western Sydney University's two Parramatta campuses.

Rosehill Gardens, which comes alive on the weekend, is just a few kilometres east of Paramount on Parkes, and CommBank Stadium is less than two kilometres north-west, where ALAND sponsor the Parramatta Eels.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164851]

That sits beside the 85 Parramatta Park, affectionately called the&nbsp;‘people’s park’ for more than 160 years.

It plays host to sporting fields, playgrounds and The Crescent natural amphitheatre for outdoor concerts and events. It also marks the site of Australia’s first inland settlement, on the Burramattagal’s traditional hunting grounds.

Parramatta River is another local attraction with walking tracks and cycleways including the iconic 20km track from Parramatta to Sydney Olympic Park.

Further infrastructure upgrades are expected in the next few years, with the Powerhouse Precinct to welcome a number of new bars and restaurants overlooking the river in 2023.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164852]

Paramount on Parkes also offers residents a number of on site amenities, including a swimming pool and manicured gardens on the podium level.

There will also be a rooftop terrace with kids play area, a fire pit, and barbecue areas.

What's within walking distance of a Paramount on Parkes, Parramatta apartment?

Paramount on Parkes,&nbsp;a 39-storey apartment tower in on the fringe of the Parramatta CBD, is the latest development from the respected Sydney apartment developer, ALAND.

ALAND's internal team of architects and&nbsp;designers handled every aspect of the development from top to bottom, and will also deliver the construction of the building,&nbsp;to ensure a high quality apartment tower.

The Australian-owned family company has two decades&nbsp;of experience as&nbsp;a specialist builder and developer delivering contemporary residential projects representing both quality and&nbsp;value.

With a focus on a&nbsp;full-body approach to their developments, Urban has taken a closer look at the floorplans currently on offer at Paramount on Parkes.

Residents at Paramount on Parkes will also have access to&nbsp;a number of amenities, from the&nbsp;swimming pool and manicured gardens on the podium level to a&nbsp;rooftop terrace and kids play area.

The&nbsp;design of the striking tower was inspired by the meandering Parramatta River.&nbsp;Entry to the development is through a grand lobby, which features soaring ceilings, marble finishes and statement lighting, reflecting that of a luxury hotel.
