Sydney developer Deicorp is set to officially open its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hills-showground-village-castle-hill-2-mandala-parade-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Showground Village</a> precinct in Castle Hill.

NSW Premier Chris Minns will attend the opening on Sunday August 31, alongside&nbsp;Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully, The Hills Shire Council Mayor Dr Michelle Byrne, Landcom CEO Alex Wendler, and Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri.

Located just moments from Hills Showground Metro Station, the centre spans 9,500 sqm across four levels and features 26 specialty retailers as well as a 1,400 sqm public plaza, creating a new community meeting point for shopping, dining, fitness, and everyday convenience.&nbsp;

Showground Village forms part of the Hills Showground Station Precinct, an urban renewal initiative led by Landcom and Sydney Metro that will provide for around 2,300 new jobs over the next 20 years and around 9,000 new homes.&nbsp;

Deicorp was recently approved for another new development next door to Showground Village.

The new five residential buildings in the East Showgrounds Precinct, will see another 873 dwellings delivered, as well as&nbsp;3,500 sqm of open public space in the form of landscaped courtyards, a public park and communal outdoor recreational space including a playground, barbeque area, and outdoor seating.

“This approval will allow us to start construction on a range of beautifully designed, conveniently located apartments and create another vibrant, walkable and well-connected community,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp" target="">Deicorp</a>&nbsp;Founder Fouad Deiri.

“These new homes will provide their residents with a seamless connection to jobs and services along Metro North West, and the new&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hills-showground-village-castle-hill-2-mandala-parade-castle-hill" target="">Hills Showground Village</a>&nbsp;retail precinct currently under construction."

Deicorp has several thousand apartments in planning and under construction across Sydney, from Zetland and Five Dock to Crows Nest and Macquarie Park.

ASX-listed developer Cedar Woods is progressing its plans for its Southbank arts precinct site.&nbsp;

The developer has filed plans, which are now with the&nbsp;Department of Transport and Planning, for a new 20-level tower at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/141-151-sturt-street-southbank-vic-3006">141–151 Sturt Street</a>, a 2,718 sqm block opposite the Habitat Filter sculpture.

The proposal seeks to demolish the two-level&nbsp;commercial building, including a small supermarket and medical tenancies, and create a new building with 180 apartments and a focus on an&nbsp;active public realm and arts integration.

&nbsp;

<img alt="Southbank site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="76a72db6-91ef-43ae-827d-a9cfa72893d2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Site.png?VersionId=DZgtB4K6BswVh0QtCs3iLjXaLp0CbcEb" />

&nbsp;

There will be a full mix of apartment configurations, including 28 studio apartments, 16 one-bedroom, 104 two-bedroom, and 32 three-bedroom units.

Retail, creative arts, and residential amenity functions are integrated across the lower levels. A food and drink tenancy is planned to front Dodds Street, while a retail tenancy fronting Sturt Street will be accessed via an elevated walkway. The first floor includes a substantial 734 sqm creative arts space, envisioned to support Melbourne’s growing cultural and digital industries.

Architecture firm <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has put together the plans. In their&nbsp;Urban Design Report they highlighted the project’s ambition to embed itself within Southbank’s evolving cultural fabric.

A central feature of the design is a through-block link connecting Sturt and Dodds Streets, landscaped with native plantings and embedded with universal access ramps.

“The ramp has been thoughtfully integrated as the primary access point, ensuring universal accessibility for all users,” the report noted, with the link offering “a direct response to the urban planning scheme of creating more green spaces within our communities”.

<img alt="Southbank podium" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4d24b1b2-d69c-4a11-a11d-ec6df432221c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/podium.png?VersionId=geWoJyZDmPSLODZ_.PNJ0LvpOmyyCdpo" />

The building’s podium form responds to the mandatory height limits along Dodds Street and maintains a fine-grain interface to adjoining developments. Above the podium, the tower is articulated with recessed balconies and a focus on views toward the CBD and surrounding arts institutions. A communal rooftop recreation deck and indoor lounge are positioned on level four, adjoining seven apartments and providing over 900 sqm of resident amenity space.

Vehicle access and loading will be provided via Dodds Street, with 155 resident car spaces located across two basement levels and the first three above-ground floors. Bicycle storage is more generous, with 226 spaces distributed across resident, staff and visitor needs.

Rothelowman describes the architecture as “humanist,” with ground-level interfaces designed to encourage social interaction and provide a dignified entry for both residents and passers-by. “All street interfaces are crafted to invite and nurture human connections,” the design report states. “The façade transitions to a human scale, providing an approachable and engaging streetscape”.

Cedar Woods, while well-known for its large communities it develops outside of Australia's capital cities, they have recently developed in Melbourne's inner-ring before. They are approaching completion at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/88-leveson-north-melbourne-88-leveson-street-north-melbourne-vic-3051">88 Leveson</a>, just 15 townhouses in the heart of North Melbourne.

Brisbane developers Core Property Partners and Vector Property Australia has teamed up for Brisbane's newest apartment development.

The duo identified <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/east-brisbane-qld-4169">East Brisbane</a> as their preferred suburb, on the fringe of the Gabba Precinct, where they've just revealed BANKSII, 72 apartments opposite Raymond Park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5481]

The one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments will sit in a glass-wrapped building that will also feature a rooftop with an&nbsp;infinity-edge pool, a BBQ area and alfresco dining spaces, sun lounges, and a sauna, as well as a resident-only gym and a ground-floor cafe.

Rhett Williams, Director of Vector Property Australia, said the project will lift the quality of the East Brisbane community and set a new benchmark.

"In Brisbane’s current property landscape, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/banksii-east-brisbane-169-wellington-road-east-brisbane-qld-4169">BANKSII</a> stands out through its emphasis on lifestyle-oriented living, connectivity and sophisticated design," Williams says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5479]

The 10-level building has been designed by MAS Architecture. Their designs were inspired by the native Banksia flower, with the architecture and interiors reflecting the organic symmetry of its namesake flora. MAS has interpreted this throughout the building’s curved form, façade detailing and interior palette.&nbsp;

The building’s flowing geometry and natural tones are complemented by large balconies and floor-to-ceiling glazing, maximising cross-breezes, daylight and views over the city, parklands and river.

“Having a strong narrative for a building helps us architecturally,” MAS noted. "We can choose colours that come off that species of flowers. The trunk and the trees and the flower elements all are now visible in our joinery on the inside and in our architectural finishes on the outside."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5485]

Apartments will feature timber floors, soft porcelain tiles, brushed bronze fittings, and stone benchtops with warm veining.&nbsp;

Kitchens feature premium SMEG appliances and generous storage, while bathrooms have been designed as calming retreats with curved cabinetry and twin sinks in the master ensuites.

The building will feature a suite of rooftop and wellness amenities. Residents will have access to an infinity-edge pool, BBQ and alfresco dining areas, sun lounges and a rooftop sauna.&nbsp;

A residents-only gym will be located on the podium level, while a ground-floor café and landscaped laneway will further activate the site and improve neighbourhood connectivity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5488]

BANKSII will rise from a prime Wellington Road site, with the building oriented to overlook the adjacent Raymond Park and take in extensive city views. It is also on the doorstep of key&nbsp;lifestyle infrastructure, including the future Kangaroo Point Green Bridge, The Gabba stadium, and the planned Brisbane Live arena.&nbsp;

Public transport options, including ferry, bus and rail - including the future Cross River Rail Woolloongabba station - are all nearby, supporting a car-optional lifestyle just minutes from the CBD.

Williams said the team spent over a year searching for the ideal site before securing this location.

"We were attracted to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/east-brisbane-qld-4169">East Brisbane</a> as it is a vibrant and growing community that offers a perfect balance of urban convenience and natural beauty with the parklands and river on our doorstep.”

The project is part of the broader Woolloongabba Games precinct, which is undergoing significant investment in the lead-up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. This urban renewal, coupled with infrastructure upgrades, is expected to enhance long-term liveability and capital growth in the area.

Given the wide max of configurations, BANKSII is expected to suit everyone from first home buyers and investors to families and downsizers.

BANKSII sales launch in booming East Brisbane apartment market

The Minns Labor Government will deliver Sydney’s first new heavy rail station in more than a decade – enabling up to 10,000 new homes by rezoning land around Woollahra and Edgecliff stations, right next to the CBD, to tackle the housing crisis and rebalance growth across the city.

Recent reports by the NSW Productivity Commission have warned that Sydney is losing twice as many young people as it is gaining, while also finding that Woollahra is the most feasible Local Government Area (LGA) in New South Wales to build new housing.

Despite this, housing approvals in Woollahra consistently lag well behind other LGAs, and the population has declined by 11 per cent over the past 50 years while Greater Sydney as a whole has grown by 74 per cent.

The new station that will be an eight-minute trip from Sydney CBD, will be located on the Eastern Suburbs train line in Woollahra, where a station build was started in the 1970s but never completed.

To enable the delivery of new homes the NSW Government will lead a rezoning of Woollahra and Edgecliff stations similar to other state led rezonings to allow additional homes to be built around the stations.

Affordable housing will also make up a proportion of development on the site with the final amount of affordable housing required, to be determined as part of the rezoning process.

The area surrounding the new station is within walking distance of major green and recreational space including Cooper, Trumper, Rushcutters Bay and Centennial Parks.

The Eastern Suburbs train line between Bondi Junction and Sydney CBD also has the lowest passenger usage rates during the AM peak of any line on the Sydney network, with only 43 per cent of operating capacity during the AM peak currently being utilised by passengers.

Sydney Water and Infrastructure NSW have confirmed there is capacity in the water and wastewater systems to accommodate the proposed 10,000 dwellings without major upgrades.

The rezoning is expected to take around two years and will further support the Government’s housing targets that rebalance the delivery of new homes around existing infrastructure.

Fresh off completing its mixed-use Malvern project Malvern Collective, Kokoda Property Group has acquired a prime site on Richmond's Bridge Road.

They are planning a mid-rise residential development with&nbsp;integrated wellness amenities and a vibrant ground-floor retail and dining offering.

The site, at&nbsp;487–495 Bridge Road, spans&nbsp;1,650 sqm with 50 metres of dual frontage across Bridge Road and Palmer Street. It is currently leased to Adairs, and has a large retail building and 20 onsite car parks.
</section>

<section data-element_type="section" data-id="534a164">
Kokoda Property Group’s acquisition forms part of a broader phase of growth in Melbourne, building on momentum from the completion of Malvern Collective and the recent purchase of a Burnley Street site for the developer’s first commercial project.&nbsp;

Mark Stevens, Kokoda Property Group’s Founder and Managing Director, said that the company’s Bridge Road site acquisition signals confidence in a city that is re-accelerating.

“Melbourne is regaining momentum,"&nbsp;Stevens said.

"After a cautious period post-COVID, we’re seeing buyer sentiment stabilise and capital leaning back into well-located, quality projects. Victoria now benefits from deep builder capacity and competitive delivery pricing, creating a rare opportunity to bring design-led inner-city developments to market without compromising on craftsmanship.

“Richmond ticks all the boxes for us – connectivity, culture and everyday amenity – making Bridge Road the perfect address for an amenity-rich, multi-use development."

<img alt="Kokoda" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9a8de51d-8092-480a-8b7e-e081816692c2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-08-29%20at%208.54.27%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VRHpV5.6beOu2cieKHWrw3ErMPuVOAuj" />

Envisioned as an “urban lantern” the building will bring a distinctive new presence to Bridge Road with a sculptural retail frontage, designed to honour the street’s heritage character while contributing to its renewal.

Stevens said the acquisition reflects the developer’s commitment to design-led addresses in Melbourne’s inner city.

“Drawing on Richmond’s rich heritage and dynamic character, we’ve envisioned a contemporary building that respects the past while elevating the way people live today. With dual frontages, curated ground-floor spaces, and a focus on wellness, this project will contribute to the neighbourhood’s evolution, appealing to both downsizers and a new generation of professionals.”

Kokoda Property will now progress concept design ahead of a future planning process.

Alice Springs

<html><body>
After several months of uncertainty and low confidence levels in the Alice Springs residential space, it is likely the market should see further stabilisation throughout 2017, according to HTW’s February 2017 update.
The valuation firm says the unit market has seen the most volatility and experienced two years of price reductions.
For this segment, that has reduced the 10-year compound annual growth rate for median prices for this segment to 4.06% in the December quarter 2016 from 7.57% in the same period in December 2014.
The house segment for the December quarter indicated a 10-year compound annual growth rate of 5.29% down from 6.15%.
“Of greatest interest will be the older style, circa 1980s two bedroom unit segment which has been hardest hit with significant price drops of up to 30% over 2014 and 2015 from the highs of 2010 and 2011,” says HTW.
“We have seen a few more sales in this segment (unit sales were at 158 in the year to December 2016, up from 134 in the previous period) providing some indication that some level of confidence is returning.
“We note that while this segment should still be treated with caution for investors with rent levels still showing reductions, for first home buyers, price levels in some cases are at 2009 levels, showing a great opportunity to enter the market.”
A four bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nt-alice+springs-124486430" target="_blank">24 The Fairway</a>, Alice Springs (above) has been listed for over $1,000,000.
Similarly a two bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nt-alice+springs-107622519" target="_blank">15 Tietkins Avenue</a>, Alice Springs (below) was sold for $427,000.

In the lead up to the Northern Territory government election in August this year, there has been a major focus on the current situation regarding crime in Central Australia, with many locals believing it has worsened over recent months, according to a recent Herron Todd White (HTW) residential report. 
<div>The current COVID-19 epidemic is going to have a negative impact on key drivers, so it will be interesting to see what impact this may have on the property market in the short to medium term, the valuation firm said.</div>
"It seems to be the hottest topic of conversation around town and on local social media platforms, apart from COVID-19 of course. People are asking the question regarding what impact (if any) this increase in crime might have on property values," the valuation firm said. 
Whilst there is anecdotal evidence of people leaving town because they have had enough of the increasing crime and other social issues, it has not become apparent yet that it has impacted on the property market. That is not to say it might be the cause of a downturn in the coming months.
</div>
<div class="column">
The other factor looming large as a real threat to the health of the local economy (no pun intended) is of course COVID-19. At the time of writing there is uncertainty about exactly how big the impact will be from this crisis, the report noted. 
Central Australia has long relied on the tourism industry as a major employer and revenue generator. With travel restrictions imposed already and the likelihood of more stringent restrictions to come, the immediate future of the tourism industry does not look bright. These restrictions could not come at a worse time, leading into winter, which is peak tourist season.
"The longer term impacts of these events is difficult to forecast, however with a market that is already in a fragile state, it could prompt a downturn in values as people sell up and leave town or are forced into selling due to financial circumstances," the valuation firm said. 
"With no significant capital growth being experienced in recent years, a sudden influx of properties being listed for sale is likely to create an over-supply.
"The coming months leading up to August 2020 and beyond have the potential to shape the residential market in Alice Springs for years to come." 
A recent sale in the Alice Springs region is a four bedroom in Gillen. 
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nt-gillen-133053974" target="_blank">16 Underdown Street</a> family home (pictured below) which includes a granny flat was sold for $425,000. 
The home features open plan living and dining, games room, alfresco courtyard area and double carport.

A current listing is a three bedroom house in Larapinta priced at $329,000.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nt-larapinta-133561842" target="_blank">9 Saltwell Street </a>home (pictured below) features open plan kitchen and dining, outdoor veranda and carpeted bedrooms.

How will COVID-10 pandemic impact Alice Springs property market: HTW residential 

<html><body><div class="page" title="Page 31">
<div class="section">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
The Alice Springs market traditionally enjoys a livelier period during the spring months and heading into December with sales numbers generally well up on the previous quarter, according to the latest Herron Todd White (HTW) residential report.
The valuation firm noted that, this is in part due to the comings and goings as people relocate towards the end of the year however as the chilly mornings and frosts leave us, the presentation of well-kept gardens shines through and spring proves the best time to sell.
The market has shown mixed results in recent months however, which is likely to continue.
"Recent shining lights include the rural residential market with more sales above the $1 million mark and the Old East Side area continuing to be popular," stated HTW valuers.
Units continue to be generally soft, more so for older 1980s 2-bedroom townhouses which have continued to decline in value however more are starting to sell which is a positive sign. New and modern units have proved more resilient with good demand and stable price levels.
<div class="page" title="Page 32">
<div class="section">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
An East Side two bedroom unit is now on the market with the price of $199,000 (pictured above). 
Situated in a small complex, the unit at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-unit-nt-east+side-129260470" target="_blank">11/4 Undoolya Rd </a>comprises of two bedrooms, open plan living/dining, kitchen and private yard.
It's within walking distance to the CBD, restaurants, schools and local shops.
"we look forward to the traditional uplift over the next couple of months particularly after an extended period of stabilisation and with some new developments starting construction it will be another interesting quarter," stated the valuers.
<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/2018/9/6/larapinta.jpg" alt="">

Alice Springs property market sees an uptick, but remains in overall decline: HTW

<html><body><div title="Page 35">
<div>
<div>
<div>
Due to changes in the market in recent times the valuation firm, Herron Todd White noted they have seen investors become less active in the Alice Springs market, with the vast majority of transactions relating to home occupiers. 
<div title="Page 36">
<div>
<div>
<div>
"We are currently seeing activity from first home buyers after a quiet period for the occupiers.
"We are also seeing good activity to upgraders locally, however the empty nesters and downsizers are very quiet due to these purchasers typically leaving town to be close to family, making way for new entrants."
In the first home buyers category HTW typically see activity up to around $500,000 with a broad range of property from older style units to renovation projects or new larger homes.
"More recently we have seen a trend more towards newer property, particularly with the emergence of the newest suburb in Alice Springs, Kilgariff.
A three-bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nt-kilgariff-123652386" target="_blank">Lot 7305/3 Cramer Street, Kilgariff</a> (picture above) sold for $526,500. The selling agent was Gail Tuxworth of LJ Hooker.
"This is largely as a result of the first home buyers grant available for builds or newly constructed dwellings," the HTW report noted.
There had also been an increase in the range of property available to first home buyers such as newly renovated bedsit units, not previously available in the local market.

Investor activity in Alice Springs has not yet returned to previous levels, according to Herron Todd White’s latest report.
The property data firm says that however some investors remain keen to invest in the area.
“During the market correction experienced in Alice Springs post 2014, investor activity was noticeably reduced and has not yet recovered to previous levels.
“Some savvy investors remain however and are keen to jump on good opportunities.
“The Real Housing for Growth head leased properties were the most popular while they were available as they offered strong ten year leases plus options and were only available on new properties which offered the added depreciation benefits.
“These opportunities aren’t currently on offer for new properties although some pop up from time to time for resale.
“The stronger end of the investor market has traditionally been the sub $500,000 category which is still generally the most sought after,” the report stated.
A three bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nt-braitling-125756178" target="_blank">10 Timbira Street</a>, Braitling (above) has been listed for over $595,000.
Built in 1980 it last sold for $465,000 in 2013.
A four bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nt-gillen-126130550" target="_blank">20 Hablett Crescent</a>, Gillen (below) has been listed for $595,000.
Built in 1975 it last sold in 2010 for $610,000.

Units have a slightly higher gross yield compared to houses Herron Todd White advises.
“Units at this level now offer gross yields of in excess of 6.5% for units, particularly older units however the returns can be reduced by high strata levies in certain areas.
“Houses sold for investment are less frequent, however typically offer a lower gross yield of closer to 6%.
“Local investors are typically well educated in the market corrections that have occurred in recent years and will be seeking strong yields in return for lower capital gains.
“With early signs now evident that there has been some stabilisation in the market we should see more activity.
“There are still some entry level units selling for significantly less than a few years ago and entry level houses that require some TLC and upgrades that will see investors find some good returns going forward,” the report advised.
