Renowned developer-builder DASCO has unveiled its much-anticipated new development in the heart of Epping.

The architectural brief for Turner Studio was to “create a community where residents are completely immersed in a paradise for the senses.”

The result is <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/senso-epping-242-244-beecroft-road-epping-nsw-2121">Senso</a>, a series of buildings that have been oriented around an unrepeatable 10,000 sqm-plus site to create a facility-laden, landscape-first precinct, something of which Epping and its surrounds have not seen before.

There are 479 apartments available in a variety of floorplans across the five buildings, a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments in addition to a curated penthouse collection.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4553]

The apartments have been designed to appeal to the owner-occupier market, with generous floorplans, premium materials, and optional upgrades including integrated refrigeration, bespoke joinery, and motorised blinds.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dasco-australia">DASCO</a>, who builds its own developments, is once again bringing peace of mind to its clients by taking the 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy offered by Resilience Insurance, which protects buyers against any structural or waterproofing issues for 10 years post completion of the building. This insurance can only be taken out by the builder or developer and not by individual apartment owners.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4552]

DASCO is known for creating more than just apartments — they create places where people connect. Senso will have over 4,000 sqm of resort-inspired communal amenity in the form of two rooftop pools, a celestial outdoor cinema, wellness club, sensory walk, and an observation deck, in addition to multiple BBQ and outdoor communal areas on multiple levels, intended to deliver a complete lifestyle offering within the residential environment.

There will be over 800 sqm of retail space on street level, which will likely be run as hospitality venues.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4550]

Located adjacent to the new Epping Town Centre masterplan, and just a five-minute walk from Epping Metro Station, Senso offers seamless access to Macquarie Park, Chatswood and the Sydney CBD. Families who are interested in the large two- and three-bedroom apartments are within proximity to several regarded educational institutions including Macquarie University, James Ruse Agricultural High, and Cheltenham Girls School.

The project also leverages Epping’s growing dining and retail precinct, proximity to Macquarie Centre, and access to natural assets including Terrys Creek walking trails and Boronia Park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4399]

With a 33-year track record and over 7,000 dwellings delivered, DASCO continues to develop and build; a business model that enables integrated delivery and peace of mind, especially when Senso is backed by Latent Defects Insurance (LDI), providing 10 years of protection for buyers at no additional cost.

The launch of Senso Epping reinforces DASCO’s active pipeline of Sydney-based developments at a time when the market is increasingly focused on owner-occupier appeal, delivery confidence, and long-term quality.

DASCO is partnering on Senso Epping with leading Australian alternative asset management firm Metrics, which has more than $30 billion in assets under management.

DASCO reveals Senso, Epping’s first resort-style apartment development

Preliminary data by research giant Charter Keck Cramer reveals a 54 per cent decline in Build to Sell apartments across Australia's capital cities, while the Build to Rent boom continues with a 378 per cent increase over the last five years.

Charter Keck Cramer's upcoming National State of the Market Report - Key Metropolitan Areas, scheduled for release in September, will reveal&nbsp;a dramatic transformation in apartment supply patterns across Australia's capital cities between FY2016-2020 and FY2021-2025.

The Build to Sell (BTS) apartment sector has experienced a substantial contraction, with total supply falling by 54 per cent compared to the previous five-year period. The decline represents a reduction of 149,200 apartments across all capital cities.

<img alt="BTS Charter Keck Cramer" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3db2ddf3-e7c0-481f-b8b9-63efb365cb80" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-08-20%20at%2011.26.34%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=bsQl8inhZA7FeiPamnGvw1tse0obBdSd" />

Sydney led the downturn with a decrease of 73,600 apartments, followed by Melbourne (-42,800) and Brisbane (-26,800). Perth and Adelaide also recorded significant declines of 6,400 and 2,400 apartments respectively. Only Gold Coast and Canberra bucked the trend, with modest increases of 500 and 2,300 apartments.

In stark contrast, the Build to Rent (BTR) sector has emerged as a major force in the apartment market, recording a remarkable 378% increase in supply. This growth added 8,590 apartments across the capital cities during FY2021-2025. Melbourne dominated BTR growth with 6,160 additional apartments, while Sydney contributed 2,100 units. Brisbane and Canberra also recorded growth of 800 and 330 apartments respectively. Gold Coast and Perth recorded minor declines, while Adelaide maintained steady levels.

<img alt="BTR CKC" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ca13ffd4-ab93-4828-afd2-4c3dccbd2b51" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-08-20%20at%2011.28.54%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=SXNnpcJuFD36ViWOwF6izBBqcQc3NWao" />

“These preliminary findings indicate a fundamental shift in Australia's apartment development landscape, with traditional Build to Sell models giving way to institutional Build to Rent developments,” said Richard Temlett, Charter Keck Cramer’s National Executive Director of Research.

"This transition reflects changing investor preferences, regulatory environments and housing affordability challenges across major metropolitan areas.”

The complete Charter Keck Cramer National State of the Market Report – Key Metropolitan Areas will provide comprehensive analysis of these trends, their underlying drivers and implications for developers, investors and policymakers when released in September.

Build to Sell apartment supply drops 54% in five years across Australian capital cities

Verso Development Group is seeking to bring over 1,100 apartments to the heart of Brisbane's Toowong, with plans filed for a $1 billion, triple tower development known as Toowong Central.

The landmark urban regeneration project "aims to reshape the core of Brisbane’s inner-west riverside suburb."

Covering over 1.4-hectares across&nbsp;Sherwood Road, High Street, and Jephson Street, Toowong Central has been designed by KHA and will comprise three towers rising 49, 55, and 58 levels.

<img alt="Toowong Central" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="48611e3d-7123-4b99-b2cb-bfa4bc98024f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/amenities.png?VersionId=yKBexB.BgCkq4OET8fHDkWs0d3DjxOKJ" />

According to the Urban Context Report prepared by Urbis, Toowong Central is positioned as a “city-defining precinct reclaiming Toowong as ‘the best destination in the west’,” with a vision to deliver density differently, strengthen Toowong’s identity, and lead subtropical urban design.

There will be a wide range of apartment configurations, from one-bedrooms to five-bedroom penthouses, as well as short-term accomodation offerings. The design prioritises pedestrian permeability, with an activated public realm featuring a central civic plaza, laneways, and street-level retail and dining.

“The central square’s structure, programming, scale and location creates a social anchor - shaped by its edges, flexible for use, and animated by a diversity of experiences throughout the day and into the evening,” the Urban Context Report noted, reinforcing the project's ambition to become a vibrant community destination.

Design excellence was pursued through an international design competition, attracting entries from renowned practices such as UNStudio and BIG. KHA’s winning design distinguished itself with a ceremonial approach to the public realm, integrating terraces, tiered seating, and green infrastructure to promote social interaction and resilience.

The development builds upon two existing approvals: the 25- and 20-storey towers of the Aviary Toowong proposal, and a separate 25- and 24-storey approval at 88 Jephson Street. Consolidation of these fragmented landholdings under a precinct-wide approach allows for increased community value and cohesive urban integration.

Urbis Director Nicholas Stevenson said Toowong Central will bridge the gap in Toowong's current experience, unlocking the potential of the wider precinct.

"Overcoming experiential constraints and leveraging contextual advantages – Toowong Central will redefine Brisbane's inner west.”

<img alt="Toowong Central" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="73f7a702-625d-452d-9df2-30a0863ac1e8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/master.png?VersionId=TZdh6wxGC_8IIroXpdkZfuhlS8mFZnea" />

Toowong Central’s ambition extends beyond residential and commercial outcomes. Uses under consideration include a world-class hotel, university facilities, a museum, and health and wellness services, reflecting its role as a western gateway to Brisbane’s growing innovation corridor between the CBD and the University of Queensland.

Urbis Managing Partner James Tuma said Brisbane has no greater opportunity to showcase the future of urban living than Toowong – a sustainable, economically vibrant, and people-centric place that embodies the best of Brisbane.

[The plans] gives us a glimpse into our future as a globally relevant, youthful, entrepreneurial, and distinctly subtropical city.”

$1 billion Toowong Central to deliver 1,100 apartments to undersupplied Brisbane market

In <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/runaway-bay-qld-4216">Runaway Bay</a>, new townhouse-scale waterfront residences are rare - but ones built to the standards found on Sovereign Island are almost unheard of.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/ocean-suites-on-jennifer-10-12-jennifer-avenue-runaway-bay-qld-4216">Ocean Suites on Jennifer</a>&nbsp;changes that, delivering a calibre of construction and detailing that places its seven villas well above the typical market offering in this northern Gold Coast pocket.

Ocean Suites on Jennifer will be move-in ready before Christmas this year, giving buyers the chance to spend the summer on the water in one of Runaway Bay’s rare new waterfront residences.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138718 project_image_fid=214444]

The development is a collaboration between <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/stuart-osman">Stuart Osman Design</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sand-side-developments">Sand Side Developments</a>, with construction by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/alroe-constructions">Alroe Constructions</a>.

Architect Stuart Osman says the intent from the outset was to create a home people would be drawn to. “When you build anything, the design is to make you want to go hang out in this house,” he says.&nbsp;

Ocean Suites on Jennifer’s design features a front façade softened with planter boxes, rear pool areas, and rooftop decks looking over the water.&nbsp;

Inside, voids and high skylights bring daylight deep into the centre of each home, while ceiling heights of 2.85 metres maintain a strong sense of volume.

Each four-level residence spans 345 to 388 sqm, with layouts accommodating multi-generational living - a ground-floor bedroom suite for older family members and upper levels for the rest of the household. A lift connects all floors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138718 project_image_fid=214435]

For Andrew Erwin, Director at NPA, the project’s appeal lies in both its location and the detail in execution.&nbsp;

"At Ocean Suites, you’ve got a canal-front setting with direct Broadwater access and a level of finish you’d normally only see in the city’s most prestigious addresses. The four-level layouts, the glass-framed living areas, the private pools, even the extended kitchens, every part of it has been designed with the buyer in mind,” he says.

Those buyers have so far been a mix of Gold Coast locals and interstate purchasers, many seeking a lock-up-and-leave holiday home or a downsized residence without sacrificing space for visiting family.&nbsp;

Older households with teenage children are a recurring profile, drawn to layouts that support multi-generational living and the ability to host extended stays.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138718 project_image_fid=214432]

Material selection reinforces the project’s quality-first ethos, with every home appointed to a premium standard. Kitchens and ensuites feature engineered stone surfaces, complemented by prestige oak engineered timber floors, Victorian ash hardwood staircases, and soft loop-pile carpet.

Premium lighting, statement pendants, ceiling fans, and Fujitsu ducted air conditioning elevate both comfort and design. Each residence also includes a suite of high-end appliances as standard - Fisher &amp; Paykel integrated fridges, Bosch ovens, induction cooktops and dishwashers, Vintec wine fridges, and Franke sinks.

Beyond the interiors, residents enjoy an enviable lifestyle with rooftop terraces, private plunge pools, fire pit areas, outdoor showers, smart home automation, laundry chutes, and private pontoons.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138718 project_image_fid=214452]

With no additional upgrade costs, Sand Side Developments underscores its no-shortcuts approach, delivering homes where luxury and amenity come as standard.

Osman adds that the kitchen has been designed as “the main hub of the house” with six metres high skylights above a galley-style layout that “makes it feel bigger, brighter, whiter” and “brings light into the centre of the home.”

Both architect and builder emphasise a shared commitment to delivering the intended design without compromise. “Working with Alroe’s structural team and their construction team, it’s been great to make sure that the look and feel that was originally intended is the result achieved at the end of the project,” Osman says.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138718 project_image_fid=214453]

Outdoor living has been given equal consideration, with rooftop terraces designed for entertaining with a fire pit and bar, and spacious undercover patios featuring private plunge pools.

The marine access is as carefully executed as the homes themselves. An eight-metre gangway leads to a six-metre private pontoon capable of mooring vessels up to 30 feet, just 300 metres by water from the Broadwater.&nbsp;

Even the orientation of each villa has been optimised to capture long views down the canal, across the Broadwater, and south to Main Beach.

With construction in its final stages, just three of the seven villas remain, priced from $3.365 million to $3.695 million.

Sovereign Island standards come to Runaway Bay with Ocean Suites on Jennifer

Without local developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gardner-vaughan-group">Gardner Vaughan Group</a>, it could be argued that the small suburb of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/nundah-qld-4012">Nundah</a> would be left behind when it comes to both new housing and retail opportunities.

Gardner Vaughan, one of South East Queensland’s most reputable builder-developers, has been based in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/nundah-qld-4012">Nundah</a> for the last decade. They plan to maintain their presence in the northern <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a> suburb, just seven kilometres from Brisbane Airport and nine kilometres from the city, with the development of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/danby-lane-nundah-village-5-danby-lane-nundah-qld-4012">Danby Lane</a>, the first major project in several years in the heart of the town centre.

GVG will retain one of the commercial spaces in the new mixed-use building for their office headquarters. It will be located in the commercial podium, alongside several other new office spaces. Below will be a street-level retail precinct designed to reinvigorate the local economy, and above, 84 brand-new apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112531 project_image_fid=320114]

Over 60 percent of the apartments have already been snapped up, with buyers eager to secure one of the rare new apartments in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/nundah-qld-4012">Nundah</a>, as well as to benefit from Gardner Vaughan’s solid reputation and long-standing presence in the local community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112531 project_image_fid=320117]

Gardner Vaughan identified the site at the corner of Buckland Road and Danby Lane for its proximity to key amenities. Within 400 metres of the development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/nundah-qld-4012">Nundah</a> Village offers a variety of cafes, restaurants, and pubs. <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/nundah-qld-4012">Nundah</a> Train Station, just 400 metres away, provides a quick 20-minute train ride into Roma Street.

The development has also attracted young families, drawn to the proximity of not one, but twelve parks, with Boyd Park and Oxenham Park being the most notable. Established families have shown interest due to the close proximity of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/nundah-qld-4012">Nundah</a> State School and Mary MacKillop College.

The one- and two-bedroom apartments in the building have already been snapped up, while the larger three- and four-bedroom apartments—ranging from a generous 117 sqm to nearly 200 sqm—remain highly sought after. There are also just three exclusive luxury penthouses left to sell.

With its in-house construction capability, Gardner Vaughan has already commenced construction on-site and expects to complete the building by March 2027. It's hard to see another opportunity to buy brand new in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/nundah-qld-4012">Nundah</a>, where creating a site anywhere near the scale of the Danby Lane is becoming more and more difficult.

Adelaide off the plan apartments

National award-winning developer <a href="/developers/chasecrown">Chasecrown</a> has marked the start of construction on its $120 million Parkline residential project in Kent Town with the release of its final penthouse and sub-penthouse sky homes.

The company has also announced <a href="/developments/kent-town-sa-5067">Multiplex</a> will build the Dequetteville Terrace development, a 12-level building with 61 apartments that is currently 80 per cent sold.

The remaining park front apartments range from $1.3 million to $5.1 million.

Chasecrown Director and architect, Louis Kanellos, says it was exciting to work with Multiplex on such a signature residential development.

“Multiplex is a premier construction company that has shaped skylines and delivering iconic projects around the world. It has delivered more than 1,100 projects globally including 18 in South Australia,” Kanellos says.

<img alt="Chasecrown’s New Kent Town" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ff5cdbb3-bc3f-44ed-a1c5-7512d36c3bf9" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Parkline_EXT01_Hero_FinalPreview%20-%20Updated_smaller.jpg?VersionId=et.QmWgt8_k4I7vGHJ5yz1F4BRAXrFrV" />

Kanellos says every investment buys uninterrupted views of either the east parklands, city or hills and boasts enviable green credentials.

“You can’t live any closer to the Adelaide CBD without living in the city itself. It offers the best of both worlds, combining urban living with city convenience,” Kanellos says.

“We’ve taken full advantage of this unique location overlooking the parklands, close to services and within walking distance of the restaurants, cafes and shops in the city’s East End and Norwood Parade.

“The successful urban regeneration of this corner of Kent Town is unsurprising given the unparalleled access to everything you would need in terms of shopping, dining, transport, green space and education.

“We’re excited by the interest to date with 80 per cent of apartments already sold, but we’re also aware some potential purchasers have been waiting for these latest premium homes to come on to the market. The market for new city-fringe apartments remains strong so we’re anticipating high demand for this final release.”

<img alt="Chasecrown’s New Kent Town apartment" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="96b80081-5bfb-4295-8544-0c1f3b50251f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Parkline_INT01_Skyhome%20Living%20Herringbone_FinalPreview_smaller.jpg?VersionId=_wy6Pb2wAjgzx4yGYfiGoiuSkKL3F0fS" />

The all-electric building is capable of net zero operation, thanks to a 7-star average apartment energy rating and a power system that can avoid the use of fossil fuels for heating, cooling, hot water and cooking appliances.

Other environmentally responsive design initiatives include a naturally ventilated car park with ‘green walls‘ to reduce energy consumption; an extensive solar array supporting the building’s communal energy consumption; infrastructure supporting individual electric vehicle charging stations; and home automation options.

Kanellos says Chasecrown is also investing in the public realm around the Kent Town project by removing power lines to King William Street and activating the street frontages and laneways with high-quality landscaping, and green walls.

“We placed a high value on contributing to the ongoing regeneration of Kent Town and recognition of the precinct’s local character and proximity of the city."

Chasecrown appoint Multiplex to build Kent Town apartment development

The Malinauskas Labor Government will officially abolish stamp duty for all first homebuyers who buy or build a new home, and extend the First Home Owner Grant to all eligible first homebuyers as part of the 2024-25 Budget.

To further boost housing supply and help more South Australians into home ownership, the 2024-25 Budget will abolish property value thresholds for both the stamp duty exemption and First Home Owner Grant at a cost of $30 million over four years.

With the abolition of property value limits, a first homebuyer who purchases a new dwelling broadly in line with the median house price of $750,000 will receive a benefit of over $50,000, including the First Home Owner Grant of $15,000.

The stamp duty exemption will be available to all first home buyers who buy a new home (including a house, flat, unit, townhouse or apartment), an off-the-plan apartment, a house and land package or vacant land to build a new home.

The initiative builds on the tax relief announced as part of the 2023-24 Budget, which saw the Malinauskas Labor Government abolish stamp duty for first home buyers purchasing a new dwelling up to a property value of $650,000 while also aligning the property value cap for the $15,000 First Home Owner Grant to this limit.

South Australian Premier, Peter Malinauskas, said we are amid a national housing crisis borne of successive governments failing to do enough to build new homes.

"In the last budget, we abolished stamp duty for some first home buyers who build new homes. Now we are making that tax relief available to all of them.

"Every new home built in our state benefits the rest of the housing market. Every first homebuyer that can move into a new home means one less buyer or renter competing for existing stock."

First home buyers building a home can also save thousands with a two per cent deposit home loan available through HomeStart, a Malinauskas Government election commitment delivered this year.

Stephen Mullighan, South Australia's Treasurer, says the&nbsp;Malinauskas Government is acutely aware of the barriers facing young people who are looking to enter the housing market, and are determined to do all they can to assist young people into homeownership.

"That is why we have taken the step to abolish the property value cap on the stamp duty exemption for first home buyers who buy or build a new dwelling to ensure all first home buyers who choose this option no longer have to pay stamp duty."

Master Builders SA CEO Will Frogley said it&nbsp;is a great day for any South Australian who dreams of owning their own home.

"It’s also a great day for builders, tradies, suppliers, apprentices and all of the more than 80,000 South Australians directly employed in our industry. As house prices have risen over the years so too has stamp duty.

"This vital policy change by the Malinauskas Labor Government will incentivise South Australians to build their own home, fuel job creation and keep our economy strong."

South Australia scraps stamp duty for first home buyers who buy off the plan or new builds

Adelaide construction firm Sarah Group has struck a chord with buyers at their luxury and sustainable Norwood apartment development, The Osmond.

They've sold half of the 23 <a href="/architects/aplin-cook-gardner">Aplin Cook Gardner</a>-designed apartments on Osmond Terrace in <a href="/new-apartments/norwood-sa-5067">Norwood</a>, just a few streets east of the Adelaide CBD.

<a href="/new-apartments/the-osmond-82-osmond-terrace-norwood">The Osmond</a>&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/norwood-sa-5067">Norwood</a>&nbsp;development comprises&nbsp;two, three, and four-bedroom apartments with tree-framed city views to the west and the <a href="/new-apartments/adelaide-sa">Adelaide</a> Hills to the east.

Hitting the 50 per cent milestone recently, SARAH Group, who employs around 500 people, is ready to start the build through its construction arm, Sarah Build.

The Osmond interiors blend subtle tones and natural textures to create an elegant yet warm and inviting atmosphere.&nbsp;

With optional upgrades available, residents have the opportunity to personalize their living spaces according to their tastes and preferences and choose from two distinct interior material palettes.

Double-glazed doors and windows, merging indoor and outdoor living spaces, ensure that every apartment maximises natural light.

The Osmond has been designed&nbsp;for an environmentally sustainable future, with LED and smart lighting on sensors, as well as water-efficient plumbing fittings and energy-efficient appliances, including air conditioning.

The Osmond is aiming for a 7-star rating or better under the Nationwide Housing Energy Rating Scheme.&nbsp;

The environmental impact will be minimised through features like twin garbage chutes supporting waste management with zero landfill goals and a solar system that feeds power back into the building's common areas.&nbsp;

Residents can also opt for an electric vehicle charging station. Parcel lockers are available in The Osmond's podium entrance.

Strategically located at 82 Osmond Terrace, The Osmond places residents on the doorstep of urban shopping. The Norwood Place shopping mall is a mere eight-minute walk west, offering a myriad of retail therapy.

&nbsp;

The Osmond is slated for completion by the end of 2025.

Quayview on Adelphi: One of Glenelg's most popular apartment projects

UDIA Award-winning developer Otello is bringing something different to Adelaide's growing inner-west area.

They've just launched Treno, a modern apartment and townhouse development in Mile End. The project will comprise&nbsp;31 apartments and townhouses on the western side of the CBD, across the road from Mile End Train Station and the picturesque 35-hectare Ellis Park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142023 project_image_fid=239075]

Polly Property's James Polacek, who is marketing Treno, says the project's location means it's a rare offering for two reasons.

"The prime location of Treno on Railway Terrace means future residents can't get closer to the park," Polacek says, adding while that alone is a unique selling point, it also adds another string to the bow of the project.

"Due of the proximity to the park and the train station, views encompassing the whole city aren't ever likely to be built out to the east because they're protected, while the zoning to the north and west now doesn't allow for anything to be developed higher than Treno, which means it's unlikely there will ever be anything blocking out those district views."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142023 project_image_fid=239073]

Polacek is speaking to a lot of downsizers for the project, given it's weighted toward three-bedroom units.&nbsp;

The location is one of the biggest drivers to the project, Pollacek says. The proximity to the train station is suiting those wanting to connect with , while the proximity to Gladys Elphick Park is attracting the active downsizer.

The apartments have been designed by Studio Nine Architects to offer buyers a variety of floorplans. There are three different floorplan configurations for the three-bedroom apartments and three for the penthouses.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142023 project_image_fid=239075]

The townhouses too have three bedrooms, as well as multiple living areas and balconies which provide direct views of the parkland and the city.

GurnerTM's $1 billion game-changing precinct in Adelaide will also be the first building on the other side of the park, around a kilometre away. That will bring significant hospitality to Adelaide.

There's a number of infrastructure changes coming to Mile End, such as the new state funded women's and children's hospital and some supporting medial industries, which&nbsp;Polacek says will drive a lot of growth in the inner west.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142023 project_image_fid=239103]

Otello, who has previously developed five modern townhouse developments across Adelaide previously, is joint venture partnering with the builder, so they're invested in the build process of Treno too, which makes for a more cost effective build and accurate construction timeline.

Apartments at Treno start from $629,000. The project is slated for completion in early 2025.
