<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c8b3d2d3-c561-4bfc-a5d9-a68c0c10dac1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da1.png?VersionId=AeAEyJU02Gk2k5noUj2StziCvdQ7fW4B" />

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

TOGA

The New South Wales developer TOGA Group have officially broken ground at their long-awaited redevelopment of the Surry Hills shopping centre.

To be known as Surry Hills Village and due for completed in early 2024, the mixed-use development and precinct on the corner of Cleveland and Baptist Street will home 122 apartments and a 102-room hotel, as well as 12,000 sqm of commercial and retail spaces.

<a href="/buildings/surry-hills-village-redfern-6-14-baptist-street-redfern-nsw-2016"><img alt="" height="1167" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/toga_precinct_1.jpg" width="1600" /></a>

SJB have designed the development in collaboration with development partners Iain Halliday and BKH, Aspect Studios director Sacha Coles and Studio Prineas architect and principal Eva-Marie Prineas.

The 12,000 square metres of commercial and retail spaces that will feature a Coles supermarket, specialty retail and parking for retail customers.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<a href="/buildings/surry-hills-village-redfern-6-14-baptist-street-redfern-nsw-2016"><img alt="" height="813" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/toga_precinct_2.jpg" width="1800" /></a>

Around 50 per cent of the 122 apartments have sold. Apartment start at $875,000 for a 55 sqm, one bedder.

The 81 sqm two bedroom apartments are priced at $1.55 million and the 122 sqm three bedder is priced at $2.65 million.

There&#39;s been a mix of buyer types, from locals to&nbsp;international buyers who will be moving in once they&rsquo;re able to return home.

<a href="/buildings/surry-hills-village-redfern-6-14-baptist-street-redfern-nsw-2016"><img alt="" height="857" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/toga_surry_hills_3.jpg" width="1600" /></a>

The groundbreaking ceremony marked&nbsp;around five and a half&nbsp;years since TOGA paid nearly $95 million for the 1.2 hectare site in mid-2015.

TOGA managing director Allan Vidor AM was joined by Redfern local and Sydney&nbsp;Lord Mayor Clover Moore at an official ceremony marking milestone.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302]

Mr Vidor said the ground breaking marks the start of the much-anticipated regeneration of the iconic site. &nbsp;

<blockquote>
&nbsp;&ldquo;We are very proud to be leading the transformation of this important site that will be a catalyst for the future shape of Sydney&rsquo;s inner city. Our vision is to deliver a precinct that will celebrate the authenticity of the neighbourhood whilst also bringing the energy of new people and businesses to the suburb.&nbsp;

&ldquo;For our future residents, locals and visitors, we are creating a destination that will enrich the area, with exceptional dining and bars alongside some of Sydney&rsquo;s best providores within a new retail laneway, commercial office building and public park. In addition, the precinct will include a boutique 102 room hotel with roof top pool and bar making Surry Hills Village a truly unique, once in a generation project that the community will enjoy for many years to come&rdquo;.&nbsp;

Lord Mayor Clover Moore said, as a Redfern local, she welcomes the revitalisation of the old Surry Hills shopping centre,&nbsp;bringing new life to the area and better serving the needs of the people who are living here.

Adam Haddow, SJB Architects director and a Surry Hills local, says because of the location of Surry Hills Village,&nbsp;near SJB&#39;s office, the team are hugely passionate about the significant project and the opportunity it presents for the neighbourhood.

&ldquo;Paying homage to the history of the site and building, while ensuring a blend of retail, residential, hotel and commercial space that feels at one with the street environment was a priority. We set out to revitalise the site and to create a space that locals can be proud of.&rdquo;

SJB have designed the development in collaboration with development partners Iain Halliday and BKH, Aspect Studios director Sacha Coles and Studio Prineas architect and principal Eva-Marie Prineas

Surry Hills Village plans finalised as TOGA officially break ground

<html><body>
Three years ago, property developer TOGA acquired the prominent 1.2-hectare Surry Hills Village site. Today, after a series of development application setbacks and design iterations, the final planning application for the new mixed-use precinct has been granted approval by the City of Sydney.

Situated on the corner of Cleveland and Baptist Streets, the prolific heritage building will be retained, while a new series of residential buildings, as well as retail and dining spaces, will be constructed to complement the striking central structure.

The design team consists of some of Australia’s most talented architects, urban planners and interior designers, who aim to revitalise the site, reactivating the streetscape as a place to live, work and play.

Surry Hills Village regeneration project granted final approval to commence construction next year

TOGA has announced the construction completion of The Hunter, its luxury five level residential development in Sydney’s Double Bay.
With 100 per cent of settlements completed, the first residents at the development have moved into their new homes, across a range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments.
And its first resale has hit the market.
It's the three bedroom sub-penthouse which was bought for $4.75 million off the plan in 2016.
The sale fell within the $4.7 million - $5 million price expectation of Laing + Simmons agent Steven Zoellner.
Spanning 180 sqm, the apartment on the fourth floor north east corner has been listed to go under the hammer October 19.
Domain puts Double Bay's three bedroom apartment median price at $3.088 million, a tad higher than realestate's $2.96 million median.
A first floor two bedroom apartment in the block, which traded for $2.9 million in May, recently sought tenants at $1,650 a week. 
Designed by Sydney-based architects Cottee Parker JPRA, the $50 million Cross Street complex has 13 apartments with an as yet unoccupied retail offering on the ground floor.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2020/10/8/toga.png" alt="">
The development sold within two weeks of being put to the market<a href="/expert-insights/buying/toga-sells-out-the-hunter-at-double-bay"> in late 2016</a>. Construction had been scheduled to commence in mid-2017 with completion initially set for early 2019.
Fabrizio Perilli, chief executive of TOGA, said the residences are an example of modern luxury living.
“We’ve had a very positive response from resident’s moving in who love their new homes and have already seen an increase in the value of their property since their purchase”, Perilli said.
“Delivering The Hunter to the highest standards, within the context of COVID-19 is a testament to our team and our integrated property capability.”
TOGA paid just over $11.2 million for 16 and 18 Cross Street site consolidation in early 2015.
Construction of TOGA’s newest mixed-use communities, <a href="/buildings/surry-hills-village-redfern-6-14-baptist-street-redfern-nsw-2016">Surry Hills Village</a> and <a href="/buildings/wicks-place-marrickville-186-victoria-road-marrickville-nsw-2204">Wicks Place Marrickville</a>, are set to start in the first half of 2021.
TOGA was founded by Ervin Vidor in 1963.

TOGA's The Hunter in Sydney's Double Bay now complete

<html><body>
TOGA's development application for the first stage of Penway Place at Penrith has been approved.
The new residential community is set to commence construction in 2020 with completion expected by mid-2022. 
Penway Place is located on the corner of Union Place and High Street, marking the new gateway to Penrith CBD.
The area will benefit from significant government investment in infrastructure including a $1 billion upgrade to Nepean Hospital and an expected 42,000 to 55,000 extra jobs created by 2031.
Set to become the ‘New West’, Penrith is fast transforming into Sydney’s third CBD, TOGA chief Fabrizio Perilli said, with over 60,000 new residents expected in Penrith by 2031. 
SJB Architects and their design partner Architect Prineas were commissioned for the new urban residential and mixed-use precinct proposal.
The first stage of the larger masterplan for Penway Place will comprise two residential towers rising above a three-storey podium, featuring ground level retail and three levels of car parking. 
It will also feature a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with a number of them with views to the Nepean River and neighbouring Blue Mountains.
Penway Place is on the doorstep of a major Westfield shopping centre, a few minutes’ walk to Penrith train station and down the road from the Penrith Panthers Leagues Club.

Penway Place, TOGA’s Penrith project secures approval

<html><body>
Penrith in Sydney's west is shaping up as one of the city's newest growth hotspots.
The population levels are expected to jump from 195,000 to 260,000 by 2031, and the area's economic catchment is tipped to expand to one million people over the same period.
A number of property developments are slated for the suburb.
The latest is Toga's newest development, Penway Place, on the corner of Union Place and Mulgoa Road.
The first stage of the development will comprise 81 apartments, designed by SJB Architects who won the recent design competition.
They will work with their design partner Architect Prineas on the four-building development that provides a new urban residential and mixed-use precinct.

Fabrizio Perilli, TOGA CEO, said SJB’s design stood out in what was a high-quality field of design competition entrants.
“We received some truly fantastic submissions from highly-respected design and architecture firms, but at the end of the day, SJB and Architect Prineas’ concept for Penway Place most closely matched our own vision for this part of Penrith and the community,” Perilli said.
“The development will draw on feedback from local residents by directly connecting with its environment and the local landscape, finding inspiration in natural elements such as layered barks, gum leaves and earthy textures.
“The project’s key theme is ‘Live Your Way’, and what SJB have put forward will allow the growing Penrith community at Penway Place to enjoy life to the fullest in what is being termed Sydney’s ‘New West’.” 
The first release of the development is set to feature a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with a number offering views to the Nepean River and neighbouring Blue Mountains. 
Penway Place is also planned to include a vibrant public plaza and retail precinct, providing a lively space for Penrith locals and visitors to enjoy.
There will be a private landscaped podium with a BBQ and seating areas, a community garden, gym, multi-purpose / kids play room and outdoor dog park.
The idea of the ‘New West’ is a key driver in Penrith City Council’s Economic Development Strategy, which has outlined a vision targeting an increase of between 42,000 and 55,000 local jobs by 2031 – across the health, education, tourism, arts and culture, advanced manufacturing and advanced logistics sectors – further boosting the suburb’s future prospects.
“Looking ahead at what the next decade or so will mean for Penrith, it’s exciting times,” Perilli added..
“This population will undoubtedly need access to quality, affordable housing, from first homebuyers to downsizing locals, and this is what we are aiming to provide for the community.”

Penrith skyline to be transformed as population growth expected

<html><body>
A building in Sydney awaiting development approval has been temporarily donated by the TOGA property group to address youth homelessness.
TOGA, in partnership with joint owner Qualitas, announced the former Addison Hotel in Kensington had transformed into pop-up accommodation for vulnerable youth.
After making available the vacant building revenue-free, it is set to house more than 42 vulnerable youth. 
TOGA has made available the former hotel to My Foundations Youth Housing for a minimum of 12 months. 
The Addison Hotel forms part of a mixed-use development proposal lodged for the site at 147 Anzac Parade and adjoining property.
The Addison Project will be operated by community housing provider My Foundations Youth Housing.
TOGA Group of Companies managing director Allan Vidor said that constructive partnerships between the private and public sectors, and sensible planning reform, had the power to address the housing challenges facing vulnerable young people in Sydney.

Pru Goward; Minister for Family and Community Services, Mark Fischer; Qualitas Managing Director – Principal Investments and Allan Vidor, Managing Director of the TOGA Group of Companies
“By making available our building we hope to make a difference in the lives of those who stay at The Addison Project as well as inspire other property owners to consider utilising their vacant assets,” said Mr Vidor.
“Together, the private and public sectors must work toward meaningful planning reform which has the potential to unlock many opportunities to make empty buildings across Sydney immediately available to those who are experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness.
No single level of government or service can tackle youth homelessness – innovative solutions must be borne from innovative collaborations between public and private sectors, Mr Vidor added.

The former hotel contains 42 fully-furnished rooms, each with a bathroom and kitchenette, set across three-storeys; creating an appropriate short-term accommodation option for youth.
My Foundations Youth Housing Chair, Assoc. Professor David McKenzie said The Addison Project would provide both crisis accommodation for those at risk of homelessness and young people with a safe space to live and study while they work to secure more permanent solutions and stabilise their circumstances.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/04/03/170331_AddisonProject_0187.jpg" alt="">
“The Addison Project is an excellent example of seizing an opportunity to provide a bold and innovative solution.
"Whilst not intended as a solution to homelessness, it is a positive step in the right direction while we work towards addressing the provision of housing in a practical and immediate way,” Mr McKenzie said.
The Addison Project will target youth at risk of homelessness aged between 16 and 24; with young people holding less than 2 per cent of the 140,000 Social Housing tenancies across NSW.
Family and Community Services (FACS) will refer up to 14 rooms to those in-need of Temporary Accommodation.
The Addison Project also includes an anchoring retail space where OzHarvest will open Australia’s first ever rescued food supermarket – OzHarvest Market – next month.
Ronni Kahn, CEO and Founder of OzHarvest said the Australian first would be a pop-up marketplace providing rescued food sourced from its existing local donor network and available on a ‘take what you need, pay what you can’ basis.
“We are thrilled to be part of this ground-breaking project with TOGA and are excited to be transforming the donated space into Australia’s first rescued food supermarket,” said Ms Kahn.
“The OzHarvest Market will be opening its doors soon, making sure good food does not go to waste and is available to everyone, especially to those who need it most.”
This initiative will be jointly supported by leading innovators in social enterprise Orange Sky Laundry and Thread Together who will contribute by providing vital on-site services.

TOGA and Qualitas acquired the site in mid-2015.

A former car yard has been transformed into a thriving residential hub following the completed construction of a $270-million master-planned community at Hurstville.
Australian hotelier and developer TOGA has completed construction at Highpoint Hurstville; a three-tower 448-apartment development located at the highest topographic point in Hurstville City.
<img src="/images/2016/09/28/Screen%20Shot%202016-09-28%20at%204.11.27%20PM.png" alt="">
More than 800 residents now occupy the Stanisic Architects-designed development.
TOGA Development and Construction Chief Executive Officer Fabrizio Perilli said Highpoint Hurstville delivered high-quality and convenient living to one of Sydney’s most central locations.  
“Highpoint Hurstville is centrally located to access both the CBD and the airport with an abundance of direct transport links, shopping amenities and educational facilities,” Mr Perilli said.  
“What was once a well-known car yard has been transformed into high-quality inclusive living with every imaginable convenience at the doorstep of residents,” he said.   
“The result is a vibrant built environment aligned with TOGA’s strategy to improve the quality of housing in high-growth locations across Sydney,” Mr Perilli added.
Set on over 8000sqm, Highpoint Hurstville features extensive outdoor leisure areas including landscaped gardens at ground-level and a 200sqm rooftop garden furnished with sheltered seating.

TOGA General Manager of Sales, Marketing and Property Management Alex Adams said to sell-out hundreds of apartments shortly after construction commenced was an impressive milestone.
“Highpoint Hurstville has been incredibly popular with buyers with all 448 apartments selling out immediately after construction commenced,” Mr Adams said.
“The site’s unique elevation, spectacular views and excellent location all come together to create an exceptional standard of living,” he said.
Many apartments at Highpoint Hurstville boast spectacular views to the Sydney CBD, George’s River and surrounds; captured by floor-to-ceiling glazing and alfresco terraces.
“We are thrilled to see our vision for Highpoint Hurstville translate into the gateway precinct it is today,” Mr Adams added.
Located in Hurstville’s city centre, Highpoint Hurstville is located 16 kilometres from the Sydney CBD and 800 metres from Hurstville Station; at 458 Forest Road.
Residents are within walking distance to nearby Hurstville Westfield, the railway station as well as the pedestrian strip shopping dotted along Forest Road.
Highpoint Hurstville is anchored by four retail shopfronts at street level and replaces the former Dominelli Ford car yard site.
Construction at Highpoint Hurstville commenced in February 2014 and was completed in July this year.
The completion adds to the developer’s year of success after TOGA sold more than 80 per cent of apartments in its 192-residence tower One Twenty Macquarie at the one-day sales launch in March this year.
