Designed by global architecture practice <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>, long-term collaborators of the Coronation team, the project draws inspiration from the Sydney Blue Gum High Forest and the leafy character of the South Chatswood Heritage Conservation Area.

“Chatswood sits at an important junction between high-density commercial activity and established residential &nbsp;neighbourhoods," Labutis said.

"Our focus for Archer &amp; Albert was to manage that transition carefully, respecting what’s already there &nbsp;while contributing something new that feels deliberate and enduring."

Coronation receives green light for Archer & Albert apartments in Chatswood

Leading Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a>, in partnership with Metrics Credit Partners, has officially broken ground on its landmark $1.8 billion Kings Bay Village project in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/five-dock-nsw-2046">Five Dock</a>, marking the beginning of construction on one of the most significant urban renewal precincts within the Parramatta Road Corridor.

A sod-turning ceremony was held at the project site on Parramatta Road, with NSW Premier Chris Minns and NSW Planning Minister Paul Scully joining Deicorp Chairman Fouad Deiri OAM and Metrics CEO and Managing Partner Andrew Lockhart, to mark the significant milestone.

Located at 129-154 Parramatta Road, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-five-dock-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> will transform more than three hectares of underutilised land into a highly connected new neighbourhood comprising 1,185 homes, including 218 affordable dwellings for essential workers, alongside new retail, commercial, and community spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146120 project_image_fid=356895]

Designed by award-winning architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/turner-studio">TURNER</a>, the precinct blends crafted brick architecture with a pedestrian-focused urban layout across six buildings of varying scale. The project will deliver 14,700sqm of retail and commercial space, 6,500sqm of public open space, and a new 2,290sqm landscaped park and civic plaza that will form the social heart of the community.

Kings Bay Village is positioned minutes from the future Five Dock Metro Station, supporting the NSW Government and City of Canada Bay Council’s shared ambition for a more connected, liveable and revitalised Parramatta Road Corridor. Deicorp will also contribute more than $80 million towards new and upgraded local infrastructure, including pedestrian laneways, an activated streetscape and significant public domain works.

Fouad Deiri OAM, Chairman of Deicorp, said Kings Bay Village represents a defining opportunity for Sydney’s Inner West.

&nbsp;“Today marks the beginning of a precinct that will deliver lasting benefits for the Five Dock community - new homes, new open spaces, and a vibrant mixed-use environment that brings people closer to transport, services and amenities,"&nbsp;Deiri says.

“We are proud to be delivering much-needed housing, including affordable homes for essential workers, in partnership with the NSW Government and the City of Canada Bay. Kings Bay Village is urban renewal at its best - thoughtful, connected and community-focused.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146120 project_image_fid=356894]

Metrics CEO and Managing Partner Andrew Lockhart said the company is proud to support more housing and infrastructure in a key Sydney corridor. 
&nbsp; 
“Metrics and Deicorp share a proven track record of delivering high-impact projects that align closely with the NSW Government’s housing and infrastructure priorities. Kings Bay Village marks our most significant Sydney development to date, offering quality homes, essential infrastructure, and dynamic public spaces.” 
&nbsp; 
“This project reflects our ongoing commitment to creating value by supporting economic growth, job creation, and delivering excellent outcomes for our investors,” he said.

With Kings Bay Village now underway, Deicorp’s pipeline of apartments under construction across Sydney has increased to 5,102. Kings Bay Village is scheduled for completion in Q2 of 2029.

When Antoinette Chan and her architect husband, Peter began casually searching for an investment property, they weren’t expecting it to evolve into a life-changing family decision.

But one visit to the display suite of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a>’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/koyo-crows-nest-1-11-rodborough-avenue-crows-nest-nsw-2065">KOYO</a> development in Crows Nest changed everything, and sparked a remarkable story of three generations choosing to live side by side in one of the suburb's most architecturally-striking new developments.

Antoinette, her mother Janet Khoo, and her sister, who is currently living in Singapore, each purchased an apartment in the same building, creating a rare and meaningful multi-generational living arrangement underpinned by modern design, community values, and premium convenience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356083]

“It wasn’t planned,” says Antoinette, who purchased a three-bedroom garden apartment with her husband and teenage daughter. “Peter came across KOYO and encouraged me to visit because he had a lot of respect for Abadeen’s previous work. As soon as we saw it, we knew it wasn’t just an investment, this was a home.”

Shortly after, Antoinette suggested her mother, Janet Khoo, take a look at the same development. A long-time inner-city resident who had recently sold her property in The Rocks, Janet had experienced some health setbacks and was contemplating a move closer to her daughter.

“I walked into the display apartment, and it just felt right,” says Janet. “I didn’t look anywhere else. The space, the simplicity of the design, the light, everything gave me a sense of peace. It’s a new beginning, but it also feels like home.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356093]

In a stroke of serendipity, Janet selected the two-bedroom apartment next door to her daughter, completely unaware of Antoinette’s purchase. Around the same time, Antoinette’s sister, who resides in Singapore, viewed the property via a virtual tour and chose to buy the apartment directly above Janet’s.

“We were all drawn to KOYO individually, and it just happened that our homes ended up vertically stacked, ground, first, and second floor,” Antoinette laughs. “It was a coincidence, but also a sign. This is where we’re meant to be.”

Designed by celebrated architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/koichi-takada-architects">Koichi Takada</a>, KOYO delivered on all fronts for the Chan-Khoo family.

“Our garden apartment gives us the feel of a standalone home but with none of the maintenance,” says Antoinette. “All three bedrooms open onto a generous private garden, which is perfect for our dog Archie, and for entertaining. The open-plan layout and high ceilings make it feel airy, calm and luxurious.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356092]

For Janet, security and accessibility were top priorities, and KOYO offered the ideal balance.

“At my age, I didn’t want to be climbing stairs,” she explains. “The first-floor apartment opens directly to the garden, and the building is small, which gives it a more personal, village-like feel. Yet I’m just steps away from my daughter and granddaughter. That gives me so much peace of mind.”

The family also appreciated the thoughtful amenities that avoided the excesses of some larger developments.

“We didn’t want a complex with too many facilities we wouldn’t use,” explains Antoinette. “KOYO has everything we need, generous storage, secure parking, beautifully landscaped walkways, and a stunning rooftop terrace with BBQ facilities that feels serene rather than busy.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=355428]

The location was another critical factor in the family’s decision. Though they had always lived closer to Sydney’s eastern suburbs, Antoinette says the transformation of Crows Nest was a revelation.

“When we returned from living overseas, we discovered Crows Nest had become this vibrant, walkable hub,” she says. “We love being able to stroll to cafés, restaurants, and shops on Willoughby Road. The new Metro makes the commute into the CBD effortless, and our daughter can walk to her school, it’s just next door."

Janet agree. “I was worried about giving up my inner-city lifestyle, but I’ve fallen in love with this area. It has everything I need, supermarkets, quiet streets, friendly faces, and it’s all a short walk away. I feel safe, independent, and connected.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356085]

While design and location were important, the family also credits their decision to Abadeen’s reputation and responsiveness. With decades of experience delivering high-quality residential projects, Abadeen’s track record helped build trust during a volatile market period.

“The waiting game was tough, especially after selling my old apartment,” says Janet. “But the Abadeen team kept me updated every step of the way. They were professional, courteous, and transparent.”

Antoinette said Peter works in property and had already heard of Abadeen. "The quality of their work really impressed us, and as the project neared completion, they went above and beyond to keep us informed and supported. That level of communication is rare.”

Only a handful of three-bedroom residences remain for sale, priced from $3.5 million.

Sydney-based developer Gold Partners Australia is making its move on the Gold Coast, launching what is one of the most affordable towers to the booming Broadbeach market.

Its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/harmony-on-broadbeach-2797-gold-coast-highway-broadbeach-qld-4218">Harmony on Broadbeach</a> project, just 400m from the beach, has prices starting from $975,000 for its two-bedroom apartments that measure nearly 90 sqm internally.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113098 project_image_fid=355607]

There will be 113 two- and three-bedroom apartments spread out across the 33-storey tower on the 1,201 sqm site that will front First Avenue. Gold Partners Australia, which has delivered several major projects in Sydney's Norwest and has an active pipeline with projects in Hornsby and Carlingford, secured the block vacant, and want to start preliminary site works early next year through their in-house construction capability.

DBI Architects designed the tower with a four-level podium which will have an open-air swimming pool, sun deck, outdoor lounges, alfresco dining spaces, and a gym with adjoining yoga lawn. A hospitality venue will anchor the building at street level.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113098 project_image_fid=355611]

Olympus Property Group is selling Harmony on Broadbeach on behalf of Gold Partners Australia. Olympus Director Deanna Lockett says the project is resonating with everyone from locals, investors, those moving from interstate, and second home buyers from Brisbane.

"There's been nothing new come to the market in Broadbeach at this price point for nearly a year," Lockett recalls. "It hits the sweet spot of affordability, good sized apartments, in a great location."

Construction will commence in Q2 2026, and wrap up, all going well, by the end of 2028.

Display apartments play a crucial role in helping buyers imagine how a space will look and feel once complete.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-albertine-by-mirvac-melbourne-31-queens-lane-melbourne-vic-3004">The Albertine</a> in Melbourne, development giant Mirvac has partnered with furniture maker and retailer MCM House to create a fully furnished, full-scale prototype that showcases the proportions, finishes, and design intent of the project’s three-bedroom residences.

As an added incentive, purchasers of any two- or three-bedroom apartment can receive up to $50,000 worth of MCM House furniture, allowing them to curate their new home with the same craftsmanship, contemporary design, and aesthetic showcased in the display apartment.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ae2e947b-2d51-4288-88fa-a35638e3be0f" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-albertine-by-mirvac-melbourne-31-queens-lane-melbourne-vic-3004"><img alt="Albertine" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-11-25%20at%209.27.26%E2%80%AFAM_1.png?VersionId=T5uSwgtTFwd1m5EdQF1inB.tBDgxqbtZ" /></a>

Oversized sofas, solid timber dining tables, and relaxed, low-profile seating demonstrate how the space accommodates real furniture, helping buyers clearly visualise how their new apartment could look, complete with pieces that genuinely suit the scale and design of the home.

The styling is simple but deliberate, with materials that pick up on the apartment’s natural light and neutral tones, creating cohesion without crowding the space.

Mirvac is now welcoming buyers through the display at The Albertine. Quietly yet conveniently positioned just off St Kilda Road on Queens Road, the development has attracted strong interest from inner-Melbourne and Bayside downsizers, professional couples seeking luxurious low-maintenance living, and design-focused buyers who want proximity to the CBD.

Apartments have been designed by Mirvac's inhouse design team with owner-occupiers at the forefront.&nbsp;The living and dining areas open directly onto a balcony, reinforcing the project’s emphasis on indoor-outdoor flow, while kitchens feature integrated appliances and soft-curve cabinetry which mirror the larger architectural themes at play throughout the building.

Badgerys Creek

I can’t see anything that would compel an investor to buy in Sydney right now, other than the FOMO (fear of missing out) syndrome.
Given four years of strong price growth in Sydney, and the proliferation of attractive alternatives around the nation, it’s not surprising that surveys indicate that many investors are looking elsewhere. The best time to buy in Sydney was 2012, ahead of the marauding pack.
But some people want to buy only in Sydney, especially those who live in the city and believe you have to buy in your own backyard (so you can drive by and keep an eye on it).
For people who think that way, the best strategy is the follow the infrastructure trail – particularly the one created by plans for the second airport.
The Federal Government announced in the Budget it would invest $5.3 billion into the Western Sydney Airport Corporation over the next 10 years. 
The corporation will build and operate the Western Sydney Airport, with earthworks expected to start on the 1,800 hectare Badgerys Creek site in the second half of 2018.
Even more important than the airport itself is what will be created around it. Big city airports generate massive employment nodes featuring businesses that want to be near it.
Commercial and industrial businesses will be clambouring to get a foothold near the airport facility. We’ve already had American defence company Northrop Grumman announcing it will invest $50 million to create a centre of excellence in the Badgerys Creek precinct.
Expect a lot more announcements like this. Many businesses will be established there before the first plane takes off.
Sydney Business Chamber’s western Sydney director David Borger says: “I think it is really significant. We’ve always thought this airport area could be an aerotropolis or airport city with lots of jobs nearby, and one of the areas that has great potential is aerospace and defence.
“To have, within a week of the government deciding to build the airport, a decision by the private sector to establish a centre of excellence in aerospace and defence is fantastic news and we hope it will be the start of a massive business park in the precinct around the airport.”
Borger says the big winner may be western Sydney families, with the aerotropolis set to create thousands of local jobs and a better lifestyle. “The biggest challenge facing western Sydney is the jobs deficit of 300,000 people,” he says. “People have to get out of the region for work, so the airport could be a real game-changer.”
Exactly. People want to live close to where they work, so demand for real estate will be strong as the Badgery’s Creek precinct evolves.
We’ve already seen considerable impact. Residential land values in the outer-western suburbs of Sydney have close to doubled over the past five years, with the Badgerys Creek airport as the prime influence.
A NSW Valuer-General’s report shows that housing land in outer-western suburbs including Mulgoa, Luddenham, Bringelly, Horsley Park and Rossmore has become highly sought-after residential property — in some cases rising in value above city trends. 
The biggest jumps in valuation have been over the past two years, in the time since (then) Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced that Badgerys Creek would be the site of the second airport.
The Valuer-General’s data shows the biggest gains in land value have occurred south of Badgerys Creek at Bringelly.
The value of one 2ha rural property jumped from $700,000 in 2012 to $1.45 million last year. A 1018m2 property’s value jumped from $270,000 to $592,000 over the same period.
The value of a typical block in Luddenham almost doubled in value between 2012 and last year, from $475,000 to $924,000, while the value of another Luddenham site rose from $755,000 to $2.7 million.
We can expect this kind of capital growth to continue as the airport – and the employment nodes that will spring up around it – get closer to reality.

Local property price growth takes off around Badgerys Creek: Terry Ryder

<html><body>
Landbanking firm KSI investments has advised the DomaCom Fund to close the fundraising for the purchase of a second parcel of land at Badgerys Creek early given strong investor interest.
It came after an influx of investment from local and overseas property investors following the announcement of a $100 million university and research precinct within 3.8kms of the land located at 60 Devonshire Road, Rossmore (pictured above).
The campaign for the land in Rossmore near Badgerys Creek was oversubscribed by 20 per cent.
Investors who missed out will be able to invest in other upcoming crowdfunded land investment which will be available over the next few months.
DomaCom is Australia's leading property crowdfunder. It allows anyone to <a href="/expert-insights/crowdfunding-into-property-domacom-explains">invest a little or a lot</a> into property investment. 
Arthur Naoumidis CEO of DomaCom Ltd, said it was very exciting to have completed the second parcel of land so quickly after the first transaction.
"It sees the realisation of what the DomaCom Fund was established for, allowing retail investors access to an asset which would not normally be accessible to this market," he said.
"We now have close to 100 investors owning a fractional interest in this asset.”
KSI investments CEO Robin Luo says there are some factors at play in the Sydney property market pushing land prices higher leading to heightened interest in crowdfunding of land near Badgerys Creek.
“As the Sydney residential property market cools, investors have been looking for alternative ways to make money in property he said.
"Appreciating the topography of Sydney is key to understanding why land prices are surging, Sydney is landlocked by mountain ranges to the west and ocean to the east, meaning flat land is limited to a 80 km radius of the CBD."
"In contrast, Melbourne has flat land for over 200kms from the CBD. The south-west Sydney region is the last frontier for land in Sydney. It’s the last opportunity for investors to buy unimproved farm land to convert into residential. Basically, everywhere else in Sydney has already been through this transformation process over the past 30 years,” Mr Luo concluded.
Endre Kollo, KSI Executive Director said the Government will break ground on the construction of Badgerys Creek airport later this year
In preparation, the State Government has already committed hundreds of millions of dollars to building new train stations and putting in new roads.
"The infrastructure support from the State Government has been wonderful for land prices in the region," Mr Kollo said.
Mr Luo said that many people want to buy in the Badgerys Creek region but few have the funds and resources to acquire the properties.
In the past, landbanking was only available to big developers however the DomaCom fund has opened this up to mum and dad investors via a crowdfunding structure.
He suggests that residential housing values will continue to fall while rural land prices will continue to rise for the next few years.  
“Given the 70 per cent price increases we’ve seen in Sydney over the past 5 years, even after a correction, prices are still higher than the long-term trend growth of 7.25 per cent and remain unattractive to most, particularly noting the still unattractive rental yields on residential property.  
"The land market in the south-west region on the other hand, is a buoyant market and we need to act quick to snap up good land otherwise it gets taken up by another developer within days”.

Domacom landbanking opportunity trumping residential decline in Sydney

The ASX-listed property group Boyuan Limited will lead a consortium to develop a 344-hectare masterplanned health, retail and logistics development, the "Northern Gateway development", at Sydney's proposed second airport, Badgerys Creek.
The proposed Northern Gateway development will create 38,000 new jobs across the education, health, entertainment, retail, tourism, transport and logistics sectors, resulting in $14.3 billion economic output into the Western Sydney Region, according to analysis carried out by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
The project – a mini city within a city – will incorporate a new university, a wellness and healthcare centre to be led by neurosurgeon Professor Charlie Teo.
There will also be a Westfield-anchored retail precinct and a logistics hub in Badgerys Creek, which accords with NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian's move to fast-track infrastructure and planning at Badgerys Creek.
Local and international businesses are being offered incentives to establish their offices at Badgerys Creek following an Aerotropolis Investor Forum.
The consortium for the Northern Gateway is made up of Boyuan, Western Sydney University, Professor Charlie Teo, Scentre Group and logistics firm LOGOS, which will operate The Northern Gateway Logistics Estate.
</div>
<div>It will include plans for 9000 new dwellings for Aerotropolis workers.</div>
<div>
The medical precinct will be a centrepiece of the project, and will include a Wellness Centre of Healthcare Excellence and Centre for Cognitive Enhancement comprising a teaching and research facility and medi-hotel/aged care facility, Professor Teo said.

Aerotropolis masterplan unveiled by Boyuan for Badgerys Creek 

<html><body>
The Sydney investment management firm KSI Investments has acquired 11.55 acres of land in Rossmore, in South-West Sydney which will be part of the Sydney Landbanking KSI Investment Fund.
The land is located 5 kilometres from the planned second airport at Badgerys Creek.
It is expected to accommodate between 110 to 140 houses once rezoned which is expected to occur over the next five to seven years. 
The deal, brokered by KSI Investments as an off market transaction includes two adjoining pieces of farm land.
It has been structured under an options contract with settlement to occur within the next six month. 
Robin Luo, CEO of KSI Investments says investing in landbanking has been traditionally limited to wealthy investors and property developers.
"However, KSI Investments has opened up this sector to retail investors via this Australian first, with a minimum of $2,000 investment under a retail managed fund structure,” Luo says.
The KSI Sydney Landbanking fund is a retail managed fund overseen by ASIC. 
KSI Investments has engaged Perpetual Australia Limited as custodian for the fund, named the Sydney Landbanking KSI Investment Fund.
The fund is able to accept investment from SMSF investors as well as private investors, companies and trusts.   
Using the investment registry services of DomaCom Limited, investors are able to trade units in the fund freely, meaning they have liquidity before the eventual land sale after rezoning occurs. 
KSI Investment, charge a 25% annual management fee and 20% performance fee on the eventual sale of the land.
<a href="https://www.domacom.com.au/public-crowdfunding-campaigns/rural-properties/badgerys-creek-land-banking/" target="_blank">DomaCom is working with KSI investments</a> to bring this Rossmore/Badgerys Creek land banking crowdfunding campaign to investors.
Once the land/campaign is acquired KSI have the skillset to manage the opportunity through subsequent phases of development to extract additional value.

Residential landbanking crowdfunding opportunity in fringe Badgerys Creek farm

<html><body>
Accused murderer Ron Medich and his property developer brother, Roy have sold their substantial landholding adjacent to the proposed second airport at Badgerys Creek.
The sale is rumoured to be more than $500 million, according to the SMH's investigative reporter Kate McClymont.
It is to companies associated with Chinese property billionaire Shen Yuxing, also known as Tin Ching Shum.
Sources close to the deal say it is contingent upon Foreign Investment Review Board approval.
Mr Shum is the majority shareholder of property developing company Boyuan Holdings which listed on the Australian Securities Exchange last year.
It has been buying up properties in the Hunter Valley and Marsden Park in Sydney's north-west.
The sale to the Chinese investors includes the Medich brothers' 344-hectare site at Elizabeth Drive, Badgerys Creek, and their nearby 73ha holding in Bringelly.
"Unfortunately, we have signed confidentiality agreements so I can't make any comment," said Roy Medich of the sale to the SMH.
The proposed purchase, via put and call options struck last month, was not mentioned in Boyuan's half-yearly notice to the ASX, which was filed last week.
The Medich brothers purchased the Badgerys Creek site in 1996 from the CSIRO.
Zoned agricultural, the Mediates secured the farm for $3.5 million, or about $10,000 a hectare.
