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.”

Christopher Pyne and his wife Carolyn, who are heading to the Adelaide Hills given his retirement from Federal Parliament, have had a $1.1 million quick offer on their Adelaide home.
The Wattle Park home has been the family home for nine years. 
They had been seeking $1 million to $1.1 million offers for the 1970s property listed through Klemich Real Estate.
The couple have about an acre in the Hills, plus an old town cottage at Robe, the fishing port located in the Limestone Coast of South Australia, which was bought in early 2016 for $520,000.
Two of the five bedrooms were added by the Pynes after their $800,000 purchase in 2010.
Pyne has drawn the curtain on a 26 year political career.
He was still living at home in Burnside on gaining his pre-selection in 1992.

Retired politician Chris Pyne sells Adelaide home

Professional surfer Owen Wright has emerged as the mystery buyer of luxury beach villa building opportunity within the heart of Byron Bay.
It sits just under 300 metres from Clarke’s Beach.
The $5.1 million outlay was the fourth highest sale in the Byron Bay township over the year.
The Rip Curl ambassador bought the Daniels Street property on delayed settlement terms late last year.
Wright, a Culburra Beach-born South Coaster, is yet to lodge plans for any redevelopment, but a villa project seems likely.
Currently on the 1605 square meter site sits an elevated three-bedroom timber beach house built in the mid 1970s, with few ­updates, if any, since its construction.
It only occupies 175 square metres of its land holding.
The surf-enthusiast moved north to Lennox Head a decade ago when he was in his late teens.
Sister Tyler is also on the pro-circuit and is a two-time world champion surfer.
Owen has since become one of the country’s leading surfers. He nearly won a world title after two perfect 10-point rides to win an event in Fiji in 2015.
Days before the final event at Pipeline Masters even in Hawaii, Wright suffered a traumatic brain ­injury during a warm-up session.
During his recuperation from the career-threatening injury, Wright spent $765,000 on Ahimsa, a Berry district retreat.
He used the private one bedroom Brogers Creek home on 2.4ha as his refuge, calling it “a little slice of ­heaven”.
Having fully recovered, Wright recently sold the property for $1 million.
Wright, his partner, singer Kita Alexander, and their son currently own at Byron in a home bought in 2010 for $975,000.
The 1930s Federation home was architecturally ­­re-designed by Running Dog Design.
Alexander has just released a new single ‘Between You &amp; I’.
The Byron Bay native penned the indie-pop jam about experiencing the hardest kind of love.
“One that is so strong, it almost breaks you,” said Alexander.
“I wanted this to be a hopeful ­anthem in the face of adversity.”
Byron Bay’s residential house price record was quietly set earlier this year when F45 gym boss Adam Gilchrist and Eli-May Havas spent $18.85 million on Wategos House, the longtime record holder of Vaucluse developer Danny Goldberg who paid $15.68 million in 2006.
Gilchrist and Havas are no ­strangers to the area, having ­married at the exclusive Rae’s across the road.

Professional footballer Jarryd Hayne is again seeking tenants for his Darlinghurst investment property.
Hayne has owned the terrace since paying $1,585,000 in 2013, bought during his first stint at the Parramatta Eels.
The two-time Dally M Medal winner is looking for tenants willing to pay $1350 a week, the same price he asked this time last year.
There’s little change to its April 2018 listing, other than normal wear and tear.
It was first listed for rental at $1700 a week on its 2013 purchase, then at $1450 six months into his ownership.
The 1890s-built home has three bedrooms and an open plan living/dining space that opens to a north-facing terrace.
Our Estates agents Adam Regan and Kay Davis are handling the marketing.
Two years ago, while at the Gold Coast Titans, Hayne sold his former Paddington home for $2.85 million.
Hayne had paid $1.13 million in 2013 and renovated throughout.
The same year he bought two apartments off the plan in the Parramatta development Koi.
He spent $600,000 on an apartment on the 16th floor and $605,000 for one on the 17th.

Byron Bay is fast becoming Hemsworth heartland.
Hollywood hunk Chris Hemsworth and his extended family already own two Byron properties, including the mega-mansion he and wife Elsa Pataky are building.
Now Pataky’s half-brother Cristian Medianu, a film director who has worked with Hemsworth on Thor: Ragnarok, has bought a $1.5 million house in Suffolk Park, just five minutes away.
Medianu will live there with his new wife, nurse Silvia Serra, adding more star power to the town already dubbed “Hollywood by the sea”.
Hemsworth’s Hollywood buddy Matt Damon and his family are regular visitors, as are brothers Hunger Games actor Liam Hemsworth, and his music star wife Miley Cyrus, and Westworld’s Luke Hemsworth.

The clan’s Byron property purchases now total $12.8 million — plus another $8.8 million on a knockdown rebuild.
Chris and Liam are listed as directors of the company that spent $4.3 million on a Suffolk Park beachfront late last year, which was mooted to become the home of their parents Craig and Leonie.
The Thor star and Pataky are putting the final touches to their Broken Head mega-mansion, after knocking down the eight-bedroom home they bought for $7 million in 2014.

Architect Luigi Rosselli has quietly bought next door in Clovelly, spending $2.4 million on the house neighbouring his long-held 1920s late Federation home — which had cost him $350,000 in 1989.
Rosselli has reworked, extended and renovated the single-storey cottage over the years to accommodate heirloom family furniture from Italy.
This purchase is for family members.
He was a recent database buyer through Phillips Pantzer Donnelly agent Alexander Phillips, who sold the home off-market.
The classic home on 330 square metres has two bedrooms and one bathroom.

Australia’s biggest live touring comedian Carl Barron has listed his luxury three-bedroom Potts Point apartment.
Currently touring Europe, Barron has quietly listed <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/https://www.randw.com.au/residential-for-sale/0000407471" target="_blank">the northwest-facing 16th-floor Rockwall Apartments</a>, seeking $5 million to $5.5 million.
With Opera House and Harbour Bridge views from its two alfresco balconies, it cost him $4 million in 2013, marked down on the $4.25 million then being sought.
He was upsizing at the time, from an apartment in the Ikon complex around the corner on Macleay Street, which he still owns and cost him $1,825,000 in 2008.
The Ikon apartment has been a $1500 a week rental in recent times.
The Rockwall inspections are by appointment only through Jason Boon at Richardson &amp; Wrench who offer a rental income estimate of $3000 a week.
The three-bedroom apartment boasts a master suite with mosaic ensuite.
The open-plan main living room adjoins a bow-fronted sunroom area.
Barron’s strata levies are $5792.45 per quarter.
The comedian's tour started in Oslo, before shows in Antwerp, Amsterdam, Stockholm and Copenhagen.

O'Keefe, who has built a vast property portfolio across the country, bought into the Mudgee market in 2013, spending $169,000 on an 840 square metres corner plot south-west of the main town.
The Manly-based spinner subdivided the parcel and built a home on each block.
He's now asking $355,000 for one of the three bedroom, two bathroom homes on 435 square metres that has been a $360 a week rental.
The home next door is also $360 a week rental.
McGrath Central Tablelands agent Lucas Sheppard has sold one of O'Keefe's investment homes, and is offering the other.
The long-time Sydney Sixer, who was among the top wicket takers in the competition over the summer where the Sixers made it to the semi finals, has also just finished building a four bedroom home in Lennox Head, having spent $270,000 in 2016.
He has owned a two bedroom apartment in Manly since paying $921,500 off the plan in 2011.
O'Keefe has an even stronger portfolio in Queensland where he has four investments.
He has investment properties in Kingston, Marsden, Wakerley and Raceview, all just outside of Brisbane. 
His portfolio is at the cheaper end of the market, unlike his former Test teammates Stephen Smith and David Warner.
