An entity directed by HSN's Rafi Assouline and Rebel Property's Allen Linz has filed plans for an impressive new precinct in Woolloomooloo.

The major mixed-use development would transform a prominent William Street site into a new residential village anchored by affordable housing and a large public park.

The proposal, submitted as a State Significant Development Application, covers 164-172 and 174-194 William Street, a 6,398 sqm site between Forbes Street and Dowling Street on the southern edge of Woolloomooloo.

Designed by fjcstudio in collaboration with Bangawarra, Studio Bright and Tribe Studio Architects, the scheme would deliver 227 apartments across four residential buildings ranging in height up to 18 storeys, alongside retail space, public domain improvements and a new publicly accessible park.

It's another design scheme for Rebel, who took <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/first-look-rebel-property-group-takes-woolloomooloo-precinct-to-nsw-government">concept plans to the NSW Gov late last year</a>.

The latest plans will be a mix of 167 build-to-sell apartments and 60 affordable apartments, with the affordable housing component representing 15 per cent of the project's gross floor area. The apartment mix includes 12 one-bedroom, 53 two-bedroom, 89 three-bedroom apartments and 13 penthouses, while the affordable housing component would comprise 42 one-bedroom and 18 two-bedroom apartments.

<img alt="Rebel" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3b3d4553-8a8c-4af5-aa8c-519ffb1e28c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-12%20at%2011.20.12%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=_Yb6ibN7eDnOtQjCNDK2eviORa4qzgv." />

Rebel Property is seeking to take advantage of the NSW Government's infill affordable housing bonus provisions under the Housing SEPP, which provide additional floor space and height in exchange for the delivery of affordable housing for a minimum of 15 years. The planning pathway allows a 30 per cent increase in floor space ratio and building height where 15 per cent of the development is dedicated to affordable housing.

&nbsp;

At the centre of the development is a 1,356 sqm sunlit public park designed to become a new community gathering space at the gateway to Woolloomooloo. The park would be complemented by a network of pedestrian laneways connecting William Street with the surrounding streets, improving permeability through what is currently a largely impermeable block.

<img alt="Rebel" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="257af931-a393-4007-8c6d-7219796df58d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-12%20at%2011.20.51%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=KAHy94GrhaReFsWTGDKfy39EDJ8gEEv4" />

The design team says the public domain has been heavily influenced by the site's topography and Aboriginal cultural heritage, drawing on the escarpments, gullies and landscape characteristics that historically defined the area before urbanisation. The landscape design has been developed in partnership with First Nations consultancy Bangawarra.

The project would be delivered across four separate buildings. The William Street East and William Street West buildings, designed by fjcstudio, would contain the majority of the apartments. Melbourne-based Studio Bright has designed the Forbes Street building, while Tribe Studio Architects is responsible for the Dowling Street building.

Rebel had secured approval for the concept plans late last year.

First look: HSN, Rebel, advances Woolloomooloo precinct plans

A locally heritage-listed furniture showroom on Water Street is set to become the centrepiece of a new mixed-use residential development as local developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/keylin-group">Keylin</a> seeks approval for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lotus-on-water-street-290-water-street-fortitude-valley-qld-4006">Lotus on Water Street</a>, a 15-storey project on the Fortitude Valley side of Spring Hill.

The proposal spans 290 Water Street and 137-141 Warry Street, combining several properties into a 2,869 sqm site that sits between Fortitude Valley, Spring Hill and the rapidly evolving Victoria Park precinct. Keylin's plans would deliver 132 apartments alongside new retail, hospitality and commercial space, while retaining and repurposing the historic Brunswick Home Furnishers Showroom that fronts Water Street.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/jackson-teece">Jackson Teece</a>, Lotus on Water Street comprises a 12-storey residential tower rising above a three-storey podium and communal rooftop terrace. The development includes 76 apartments classified as multiple dwellings and a further 56 units proposed as short-term accommodation, designed to be flexibly used as either accommodation or permanent residences. The apartment mix comprises six one-bedroom, 54 two-bedroom and 16 three-bedroom homes.

<img alt="First look: Keylin unveils heritage-led Lotus on Water Street tower in Fortitude Valley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9822bb79-6c49-49c9-95ba-319e8c8d81c3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/fortitude%20valley%20front.png?VersionId=ioW8zbN4UVebbLetTFuv92t.HkdgfR5e" />

Residents would have access to an extensive rooftop recreation level spanning more than 1,200 sqm of communal open space. Plans include a pool, gym, sauna, infrared sauna, yoga area, library, private dining room, barbecue facilities and landscaped entertainment spaces, making the rooftop the project's largest shared amenity offering.

At street level, the proposal focuses on the adaptive reuse of the heritage buildings along Water Street, where 518 sqm of retail and commercial space is planned across shop, office and food and drink outlet uses. A permeable residential lobby would be positioned between the retained heritage buildings, creating a pedestrian connection between the historic streetscape and the new tower behind.

<img alt="First look: Keylin unveils heritage-led Lotus on Water Street tower in Fortitude Valley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="269cf3e0-7d13-48bf-a318-05a00deb5c10" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/fortitude%20valley%20podium.png?VersionId=DLXmTCLsp6GOcLpQ0h.0z7wKCw59EhN_" />

The heritage retention strategy is central to the scheme. The development application notes that the Brunswick Home Furnishers Showroom and adjoining heritage buildings will remain, with only non-significant structures on the site earmarked for removal under a previously issued Heritage Exemption Certificate. Levels one and two of the new podium are recessed behind the heritage façades to maintain their prominence within the streetscape.

Jackson Teece has drawn inspiration from the site's manufacturing history when designing the podium. The planning documents state that the façade incorporates perforated metal screening that references the woven and rattan furniture historically produced on the site. Cascading and climbing plants are integrated throughout the podium to soften the building's presentation and screen parking levels behind. The landscape strategy also informs the project's name, Lotus on Water Street, drawing on the historic Spring Hollow waterholes that once ran through Spring Hill and the blue water lilies associated with Meeanjin, Brisbane's traditional name.

The proposal also incorporates the neighbouring property at 141 Warry Street, currently occupied by a healthcare service. The existing building would remain, with nine dedicated parking spaces allocated within the new development to support its ongoing operation. In total, Lotus on Water Street proposes 117 car spaces, including 110 resident spaces and seven visitor bays, alongside 100 bicycle spaces.

<img alt="First look: Keylin unveils heritage-led Lotus on Water Street tower in Fortitude Valley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="70cf07bc-4fd8-4e70-92dd-be8b21c4e4f0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/fortitude%20valley%20site.png?VersionId=txlxrJImM0Sm_vTzHVKh5DDUkyL_CiiA" />

The site sits within the Spring Hill East Precinct of the Spring Hill Neighbourhood Plan and is positioned around 650 metres from both Fortitude Valley Station and Exhibition Station. It is also within walking distance of the King Street precinct, Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Herston Quarter and Victoria Park, which is earmarked to become a major venue precinct ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Planning documents describe the location as a key gateway between Spring Hill and Fortitude Valley and highlight the area's increasing importance as new transport infrastructure and Olympic-related investment reshape Brisbane's inner north. The development team argues the project will contribute additional housing supply while activating a section of Water Street that has historically received less investment than other parts of the Valley.

Keylin has become increasingly active across Brisbane and southeast Queensland, assembling sites in strategic inner-city locations. They are currently selling and delivering <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/oria-spring-hill-447-gregory-terrace-spring-hill-qld-4000">Oria Spring Hill</a>, just over 140 apartments due for completion in 2027.

Roseville is poised for a wave of new apartment development following the NSW Government's rezoning of land around Roseville Station under its Transport Oriented Development program.

The new planning controls have unlocked significant development potential within walking distance of the station, with a number of sites expected to be amalgamated and redeveloped in the coming years as developers seek to take advantage of the increased density allowances.

One of the more restrained developments in the precinct, and set among the first to be delivered having commenced well before the recent changes, is Hyecorp's Juliet. The boutique apartment project is already well under construction and remains on track to welcome residents by the end of the year, offering a markedly different proposition to many of the larger-scale developments now likely to emerge across the suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278194]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/juliet-roseville-64-pacific-highway-roseville-nsw-2069">Juliet</a> will comprise just&nbsp;34 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments opposite Roseville Station. For Hyecorp, which has delivered projects across Sydney's Lower North Shore for more than three decades, Roseville presented a rare opportunity to address a growing gap in the market.

"<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/roseville-nsw-2069">Roseville</a> has long been one of the North Shore's most tightly held and desirable suburbs, offering a unique combination of village charm, established greenery, excellent transport connections, and proximity to some of Sydney's best schools and lifestyle amenities," Hyecorp said.

"We recognised a growing demand from local homeowners seeking to downsize without leaving the community they have built their lives around. The location presented a rare opportunity to create homes that cater specifically to that buyer profile."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278196]

The six-level development has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/pbd-architects">PBD Architects</a> as a collection of residences that feel more like homes than apartments. The brief centred generous floorplans, abundant natural light, quality finishes, and strong connections to outdoor space.

PBD Architects drew inspiration from Roseville's established garden suburb character, creating a building that sits comfortably within its surroundings rather than dominating them. The architecture incorporates natural materials, soft forms, layered landscaping, expansive balconies, and generous setbacks to strengthen the connection between residents and the suburb's leafy environment.

"The focus was on designing spacious, house-like residences for discerning owner-occupiers and downsizers who wanted to remain on the North Shore without compromising on comfort, privacy, or design," PBD said.&nbsp;

"Every apartment was to feel considered, timeless, and highly functional."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278195]

Inside, residences feature engineered timber flooring, stone kitchen benchtops and splashbacks, integrated Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, ducted air conditioning, and large outdoor entertaining areas designed to take advantage of district and treetop views.

Residents will also have access to a rooftop barbecue and lounge area, alongside practical amenities including parcel lockers, EV charging capability, bicycle storage, a dog wash bay, and a basement car wash facility.

The majority of purchasers so far have been local owner-occupiers from Roseville, Lindfield, Chatswood, Killara, and the broader Upper North Shore, many of whom are transitioning from larger family homes.

"Buyers are looking for spacious, house-like apartments that allow them to downsize without feeling like they are sacrificing comfort or functionality," Hyecorp noted.

"They value large kitchens, generous living areas, ample storage, quality finishes, secure parking, lift access, and low-maintenance living."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278204]

Juliet sits directly opposite Roseville Train Station and within walking distance of Roseville Village, while Chatswood's retail and dining precinct is only minutes away. The development is also surrounded by some of Sydney's most established schools, including Roseville College, Ravenswood, Pymble Ladies' College, and Knox Grammar, as well as nearby parklands and golf courses.

Juliet is currently more than 75 per cent sold ahead of its anticipated completion in late 2026.

Sherpa Property Group has unveiled the third instalment of its Flourish series, securing full approval for the two-tower, $500 million Flourish Soleira development in Palm Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/flourish-soleira-1150-1154-gold-coast-highway-palm-beach-qld-4221">Flourish Soleira</a> will rise from a prominent site in the commercial heart of Palm Beach, the long-time home of Cash Converters and a range of local retailers.

The project will introduce a new retail and dining precinct at ground level, beneath 286 apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=370959]

“We’re very committed to not only providing affordable residential offerings that are much needed in Palm Beach, but also delivering a vibrant new commercial heart that complements the extraordinary growth of the southern Gold Coast,” Sherpa Property Group founder Christie Leet said.

The development will sit under Sherpa's Flourish brand, which is aimed at providing a pathway into the beachside suburb for locals, first-home buyers and downsizers. In a move designed to assist first-home buyers entering the market, Sherpa has reserved all one and two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments exclusively for eligible first-home buyers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=370964]

“Our vision through Flourish is to create a vibrant retail and lifestyle focal point within the Palm Beach centre zone, delivering thriving communities underpinned by lifestyle-rich locations,” Leet said.

“So far, Flourish has been an incredible success, and we hope to carry this momentum as we progress the next two Flourish projects in Palm Beach.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=371430]

Located across 1150-1164 Gold Coast Highway and 3 Sixth Avenue, the development will comprise two towers. The northern tower will deliver 154 apartments, while the southern tower will add a further 132 residences, helping address ongoing demand for new apartments in the tightly held coastal suburb.

Flourish Soleira will also feature the most extensive rooftop amenity offering ever delivered in Palm Beach.

The two towers will be connected by a skybridge, with residents gaining access to a rooftop recreation deck featuring a full-width swimming pool, hot and cold plunge pools, wellness spaces, a gymnasium, private dining facilities, massage treatment rooms, barbecue areas, a basketball court, golf simulator, indoor and outdoor dining spaces, sun lounges and extensive landscaping.

LPS Group is expected to start construction later this year.

Sherpa is already well advanced on construction of its debut Flourish project, Flourish Amargo, located just around the corner from Soleira. Meanwhile, Flourish Oasis, positioned opposite Amargo, recently commenced construction and has nearly sold out its collection of 47 apartments.

Are mortgage holders set to get a reprieve from the RBA in 2026?

Big Four bank NAB believes so. They are now expecting the next move from the RBA to be a cut, rather than a hike, which they had pencilled in for August. They are unsure of the timing of the cut however, they note in their latest&nbsp;NAB Economics RBA Watch.

NAB Chief Economist, Dr Sally Auld, said recent data suggests the economy has lost momentum and the outlook for rates has shifted, noting that the broader economic backdrop has changed since earlier in the year.

“The next move in the cash rate is likely to be down, but the timing is uncertain," Dr Auld said.

"In February, growth was above trend, the economy was operating above capacity and there was uncertainty over the restrictiveness of rates. None of these conditions exist today,” she outlined.

Dr Auld said recent data pointed to softer momentum across the economy while acknowledging that at the same time, uncertainty remains a key feature of the outlook.

“Both Q1 GDP data and the NAB business survey suggest momentum in the economy has slowed, meaning that growth has likely peaked for the cycle. That said, we are cognisant there is still considerable uncertainty around the outlook, both with respect to activity and inflation.”

Dr Auld said inflation risks and labour market outcomes would be important to watch.

“On the prices side, we are still forecasting above target core inflation through to mid-2027. Margins will compress and weaker labour market outcomes are a risk.”

She said tighter financial conditions are expected to weigh on housing and activity.

“Tighter financial conditions will be reflected in a slowing in house price growth and housing credit growth. In summary, we have greater conviction that the next move in rates is down, but less conviction on the timing.”

Clare Voitin, the wife of lawyer John Voitin, has listed their Deepdene home for sale.
Kay &amp; Burton Hawthorn agents Rebecca Edwards and Daniel Bradd have a $2.95 million to $3.25 million guide.
The Terry Street home is solely owned by Clare, who paid $1 million in 2007.
Two years later the five bedroom home was constructed on the 735 sqm block with some $500,000 spent building the home and pool.
The home and his former office were raided last year by the Echo Taskforce, as part of an investigation into laundering and concealment by the Comanchero motorcycle gang.

Hotelier Ashton Waugh is selling his Vaucluse home with a $16 million price guide.
The home, listed by Gavin Rubinstein, Ray White network’s top performer, is his first listing in his new office in Woollahra.
The three-level home was completed two years ago with five bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
Peter Ahern of buck&amp;simple Architecture cast a fresh eye over the existing home, which was gutted to include an oculus to bring natural light into the core of the home.
There’s also a cellar for 2000 wine bottles.
The Gilliver Avenue home’s panorama takes in the city skyline, Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
The 835 square metre block cost $6.7 million in 2004.
There are 28 houses for sale at Vaucluse on realestate.com.au with a $5.5 million median sale price from the 70 sales of the past year.

Brad Cranfield and Lara Welham have finally sold the impressive Hunter Valley home they built after their 2012 The Block win.
The couple, now based in Byron Bay with their children, secured $1,375,000 for the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-other-nsw-bishops+bridge-129781238" target="_blank">Bishops Bridge estate</a> which had been for sale for 200-plus days.
Cranfield and Welham bought the 25 hectare vacant estate in 2012 for $510,000 — after taking home $606,000 prize earnings when their Dorcas Street, South Melbourne terrace renovation fetched $1.62 million, $506,000 over reserve, on The Block.
The couple had reduced the Bishop Bridge asking price from its initial $1,599,000.
Cranfield, who was a fitter and machinist in the coal mining industry while Welham was a physical education teacher before the 2012 series, is now a real estate agent, saying the transition was a “natural progression”.
He works with Christian Sergiacomi, husband of The Block interior designer Shelley Craft.
The designer Bishops Bridge home, that sits at the end of a long drive, comes with 6 metre-high ceilings.
Its living room has a timber feature wall backing the wood-burning fire.
A loft-style rumpus room overlooks the living space.
Coloured cathedral glass panes have been used throughout the four-bedroom home.
A timber tiered deck looks across the grounds, which include a creek and three dams, one with a floating pontoon.

Sir Peter Cosgrove, who will step down as Australia's governor-general next month, and wife Lady Lynne Cosgrove, are downsizing in Sydney's north.
They will vacate the governor-general's official residence, Admiralty House on the Kirribilli waterfront, and will be moving in to a three bedroom apartment in Milsons Point.
Records show they paid $2.25 million for the 15th floor apartment in the Pinnacle building.
The apartment had sat idly on the market for around 50 days through Di Jones agent Nigel Mukhi, prompting the vendor to attempt the lease the investment apartment again at $1,500 a week before the Cosgrove's swooped.
The Pinnacle building was built in the late 1990s on Dind Street.
The Cosgrove's have called the lower north shore home for over a decade, having bought a Neutral Bay townhouse for $1.95 million in 2007.
They sold it for $2.1 million in 2014 given Peter's appointment as governor-general and the luxury of moving in to the 1840s Victorian sandstone Admiralty House.
The property on the tip of Kirribilli was built in 1842 by Lieutenant-Colonel John Gibbes. It was bought by the colonial government in 1885 and renamed Admiralty House.

Sydney Roosters young gun Joseph Manu has bought his first home in the rival club’s Rabbitoh's heartland.
The 22-year-old winger has spent $1.15 million on a Botany apartment. It’s set on the first level of the recently completed Magnolia building of Tailor’s Walk, an urban village complex developed by Frasers Property.
Marketed by Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agents Tristan Oddi and Debbie Donnelley as having house-size proportions, the 160sq m apartment has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen comes with a butler’s pantry. Wall-to-wall glass opens to a full-size alfresco entertainers’ terrace.
Manu (pictured), who joined the Roosters in 2016 and has extended his contract to the end of the 2020 season, joins teammate Latrell Mitchell as a first-home buyer.
The Origin shoo-in spent $1.45 million on a 2015-built, four- bedroom home in Chifley, just before the Roosters’ 2018 grand final victory.
Fellow Rooster Victor Radley spent $1.2 million on a Bondi apartment, having previously scoped out an apartment in Double Bay.
Last year Roosters emerging star Ryan Matterson spent $915,000 on a new apartment in Botany.
The 23 year old utility bought in the Frasers Property developed The Martin, surrounded by gardens in the Tailors Walk community.
The unit has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study area and an alfresco balcony with CBD views. 
Martin Property Zetland agents David Bettini and Peter Turner had a guide of $880,000 to $960,000.
It first sold off the plan in 2015 at $915,000 to a Chinese buyer.
Roosters star fullback James Tedesco, who has built an impressive property portfolio, has quietly bought his first eastern suburbs property. Tedesco had been renting in Bondi Beach before settling in Rose Bay, where he paid $1.75 million for a two-bedroom, two-level updated apartment with 115sq m of landscaped terraces.
Veteran backrower Mitch Aubusson also bought in the east, spending $1.45 million on a two-bedroom unit in North Bondi, and promptly found a tenant at $995 a week, reflecting a 3.5 per cent yield.

The former member for Wentworth, Dr Kerryn Phelps, who conceded defeat to Liberal Dave Sharma after the recent federal election, and her wife Jackie Stricker-Phelps are selling their Southern Highlands retreat.
Angus Campbell-Jones at Campbell Jones Property Bowral is seeking $4 million for the private oasis behind its automatic security gated entry.
It seems family commitments in Sydney, including grandchildren, have meant the Potts Point couple were infrequently getting to the Bowral estate.
It’s been renovated since the couple bought the 2.15ha parcel in 2015. Jacquie Ezer at Ezer Styles Architects oversaw the works constructed by local builder Greg Samsa, who previously worked on Gai Waterhouse’s Highlands escape.
The country-style house, in the foothills of Milton Park, has five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a billiard room and tennis court.

It's now official, with settlement revealing corporate lawyer Amanda Banton paid $23.56 million for the Rose Bay home of property baron Stephen Burcher and his wife Melissa.
The waterfront home — designed by Bruce Stafford, with interiors by Hare + Klein — sold through Ben Collier at The Agency having been passed in at $23.25 million.
Set within gardens by Anthony Wyer, the five-bedroom residence came with a boat shed. There were initial $25 million hopes for the property, that has an internal lift across three levels.
The sale ranks as the slow year’s second highest sale behind Alex Ma’s pre-auction Vaucluse deal. The Burchers have bought a $15.25 million Tuscan-style Woollahra house.
Banton sold her Paddington terrace for $7.4 million to Quadrant Private Equity partner Alex Eady and his wife Jodie last year.
She had been renting at Centennial Park from Wesfarmers exec Ed Bostock and his wife Emma following their move to their $5.5 million 1910 Cottesloe, Perth, home.
