An entity directed by HSN's Rafi Assouline and Rebel Property's Allen Linz has filed plans for an impressive new precinct in Woolloomooloo.

The major mixed-use development would transform a prominent William Street site into a new residential village anchored by affordable housing and a large public park.

The proposal, submitted as a State Significant Development Application, covers 164-172 and 174-194 William Street, a 6,398 sqm site between Forbes Street and Dowling Street on the southern edge of Woolloomooloo.

Designed by fjcstudio in collaboration with Bangawarra, Studio Bright and Tribe Studio Architects, the scheme would deliver 227 apartments across four residential buildings ranging in height up to 18 storeys, alongside retail space, public domain improvements and a new publicly accessible park.

It's another design scheme for Rebel, who took <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/first-look-rebel-property-group-takes-woolloomooloo-precinct-to-nsw-government">concept plans to the NSW Gov late last year</a>.

The latest plans will be a mix of 167 build-to-sell apartments and 60 affordable apartments, with the affordable housing component representing 15 per cent of the project's gross floor area. The apartment mix includes 12 one-bedroom, 53 two-bedroom, 89 three-bedroom apartments and 13 penthouses, while the affordable housing component would comprise 42 one-bedroom and 18 two-bedroom apartments.

<img alt="Rebel" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3b3d4553-8a8c-4af5-aa8c-519ffb1e28c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-12%20at%2011.20.12%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=_Yb6ibN7eDnOtQjCNDK2eviORa4qzgv." />

Rebel Property is seeking to take advantage of the NSW Government's infill affordable housing bonus provisions under the Housing SEPP, which provide additional floor space and height in exchange for the delivery of affordable housing for a minimum of 15 years. The planning pathway allows a 30 per cent increase in floor space ratio and building height where 15 per cent of the development is dedicated to affordable housing.

&nbsp;

At the centre of the development is a 1,356 sqm sunlit public park designed to become a new community gathering space at the gateway to Woolloomooloo. The park would be complemented by a network of pedestrian laneways connecting William Street with the surrounding streets, improving permeability through what is currently a largely impermeable block.

<img alt="Rebel" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="257af931-a393-4007-8c6d-7219796df58d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-12%20at%2011.20.51%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=KAHy94GrhaReFsWTGDKfy39EDJ8gEEv4" />

The design team says the public domain has been heavily influenced by the site's topography and Aboriginal cultural heritage, drawing on the escarpments, gullies and landscape characteristics that historically defined the area before urbanisation. The landscape design has been developed in partnership with First Nations consultancy Bangawarra.

The project would be delivered across four separate buildings. The William Street East and William Street West buildings, designed by fjcstudio, would contain the majority of the apartments. Melbourne-based Studio Bright has designed the Forbes Street building, while Tribe Studio Architects is responsible for the Dowling Street building.

Rebel had secured approval for the concept plans late last year.

First look: HSN, Rebel, advances Woolloomooloo precinct plans

A locally heritage-listed furniture showroom on Water Street is set to become the centrepiece of a new mixed-use residential development as local developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/keylin-group">Keylin</a> seeks approval for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lotus-on-water-street-290-water-street-fortitude-valley-qld-4006">Lotus on Water Street</a>, a 15-storey project on the Fortitude Valley side of Spring Hill.

The proposal spans 290 Water Street and 137-141 Warry Street, combining several properties into a 2,869 sqm site that sits between Fortitude Valley, Spring Hill and the rapidly evolving Victoria Park precinct. Keylin's plans would deliver 132 apartments alongside new retail, hospitality and commercial space, while retaining and repurposing the historic Brunswick Home Furnishers Showroom that fronts Water Street.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/jackson-teece">Jackson Teece</a>, Lotus on Water Street comprises a 12-storey residential tower rising above a three-storey podium and communal rooftop terrace. The development includes 76 apartments classified as multiple dwellings and a further 56 units proposed as short-term accommodation, designed to be flexibly used as either accommodation or permanent residences. The apartment mix comprises six one-bedroom, 54 two-bedroom and 16 three-bedroom homes.

<img alt="First look: Keylin unveils heritage-led Lotus on Water Street tower in Fortitude Valley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9822bb79-6c49-49c9-95ba-319e8c8d81c3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/fortitude%20valley%20front.png?VersionId=ioW8zbN4UVebbLetTFuv92t.HkdgfR5e" />

Residents would have access to an extensive rooftop recreation level spanning more than 1,200 sqm of communal open space. Plans include a pool, gym, sauna, infrared sauna, yoga area, library, private dining room, barbecue facilities and landscaped entertainment spaces, making the rooftop the project's largest shared amenity offering.

At street level, the proposal focuses on the adaptive reuse of the heritage buildings along Water Street, where 518 sqm of retail and commercial space is planned across shop, office and food and drink outlet uses. A permeable residential lobby would be positioned between the retained heritage buildings, creating a pedestrian connection between the historic streetscape and the new tower behind.

<img alt="First look: Keylin unveils heritage-led Lotus on Water Street tower in Fortitude Valley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="269cf3e0-7d13-48bf-a318-05a00deb5c10" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/fortitude%20valley%20podium.png?VersionId=DLXmTCLsp6GOcLpQ0h.0z7wKCw59EhN_" />

The heritage retention strategy is central to the scheme. The development application notes that the Brunswick Home Furnishers Showroom and adjoining heritage buildings will remain, with only non-significant structures on the site earmarked for removal under a previously issued Heritage Exemption Certificate. Levels one and two of the new podium are recessed behind the heritage façades to maintain their prominence within the streetscape.

Jackson Teece has drawn inspiration from the site's manufacturing history when designing the podium. The planning documents state that the façade incorporates perforated metal screening that references the woven and rattan furniture historically produced on the site. Cascading and climbing plants are integrated throughout the podium to soften the building's presentation and screen parking levels behind. The landscape strategy also informs the project's name, Lotus on Water Street, drawing on the historic Spring Hollow waterholes that once ran through Spring Hill and the blue water lilies associated with Meeanjin, Brisbane's traditional name.

The proposal also incorporates the neighbouring property at 141 Warry Street, currently occupied by a healthcare service. The existing building would remain, with nine dedicated parking spaces allocated within the new development to support its ongoing operation. In total, Lotus on Water Street proposes 117 car spaces, including 110 resident spaces and seven visitor bays, alongside 100 bicycle spaces.

<img alt="First look: Keylin unveils heritage-led Lotus on Water Street tower in Fortitude Valley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="70cf07bc-4fd8-4e70-92dd-be8b21c4e4f0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/fortitude%20valley%20site.png?VersionId=txlxrJImM0Sm_vTzHVKh5DDUkyL_CiiA" />

The site sits within the Spring Hill East Precinct of the Spring Hill Neighbourhood Plan and is positioned around 650 metres from both Fortitude Valley Station and Exhibition Station. It is also within walking distance of the King Street precinct, Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Herston Quarter and Victoria Park, which is earmarked to become a major venue precinct ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Planning documents describe the location as a key gateway between Spring Hill and Fortitude Valley and highlight the area's increasing importance as new transport infrastructure and Olympic-related investment reshape Brisbane's inner north. The development team argues the project will contribute additional housing supply while activating a section of Water Street that has historically received less investment than other parts of the Valley.

Keylin has become increasingly active across Brisbane and southeast Queensland, assembling sites in strategic inner-city locations. They are currently selling and delivering <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/oria-spring-hill-447-gregory-terrace-spring-hill-qld-4000">Oria Spring Hill</a>, just over 140 apartments due for completion in 2027.

Roseville is poised for a wave of new apartment development following the NSW Government's rezoning of land around Roseville Station under its Transport Oriented Development program.

The new planning controls have unlocked significant development potential within walking distance of the station, with a number of sites expected to be amalgamated and redeveloped in the coming years as developers seek to take advantage of the increased density allowances.

One of the more restrained developments in the precinct, and set among the first to be delivered having commenced well before the recent changes, is Hyecorp's Juliet. The boutique apartment project is already well under construction and remains on track to welcome residents by the end of the year, offering a markedly different proposition to many of the larger-scale developments now likely to emerge across the suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278194]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/juliet-roseville-64-pacific-highway-roseville-nsw-2069">Juliet</a> will comprise just&nbsp;34 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments opposite Roseville Station. For Hyecorp, which has delivered projects across Sydney's Lower North Shore for more than three decades, Roseville presented a rare opportunity to address a growing gap in the market.

"<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/roseville-nsw-2069">Roseville</a> has long been one of the North Shore's most tightly held and desirable suburbs, offering a unique combination of village charm, established greenery, excellent transport connections, and proximity to some of Sydney's best schools and lifestyle amenities," Hyecorp said.

"We recognised a growing demand from local homeowners seeking to downsize without leaving the community they have built their lives around. The location presented a rare opportunity to create homes that cater specifically to that buyer profile."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278196]

The six-level development has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/pbd-architects">PBD Architects</a> as a collection of residences that feel more like homes than apartments. The brief centred generous floorplans, abundant natural light, quality finishes, and strong connections to outdoor space.

PBD Architects drew inspiration from Roseville's established garden suburb character, creating a building that sits comfortably within its surroundings rather than dominating them. The architecture incorporates natural materials, soft forms, layered landscaping, expansive balconies, and generous setbacks to strengthen the connection between residents and the suburb's leafy environment.

"The focus was on designing spacious, house-like residences for discerning owner-occupiers and downsizers who wanted to remain on the North Shore without compromising on comfort, privacy, or design," PBD said.&nbsp;

"Every apartment was to feel considered, timeless, and highly functional."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278195]

Inside, residences feature engineered timber flooring, stone kitchen benchtops and splashbacks, integrated Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, ducted air conditioning, and large outdoor entertaining areas designed to take advantage of district and treetop views.

Residents will also have access to a rooftop barbecue and lounge area, alongside practical amenities including parcel lockers, EV charging capability, bicycle storage, a dog wash bay, and a basement car wash facility.

The majority of purchasers so far have been local owner-occupiers from Roseville, Lindfield, Chatswood, Killara, and the broader Upper North Shore, many of whom are transitioning from larger family homes.

"Buyers are looking for spacious, house-like apartments that allow them to downsize without feeling like they are sacrificing comfort or functionality," Hyecorp noted.

"They value large kitchens, generous living areas, ample storage, quality finishes, secure parking, lift access, and low-maintenance living."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278204]

Juliet sits directly opposite Roseville Train Station and within walking distance of Roseville Village, while Chatswood's retail and dining precinct is only minutes away. The development is also surrounded by some of Sydney's most established schools, including Roseville College, Ravenswood, Pymble Ladies' College, and Knox Grammar, as well as nearby parklands and golf courses.

Juliet is currently more than 75 per cent sold ahead of its anticipated completion in late 2026.

Sherpa Property Group has unveiled the third instalment of its Flourish series, securing full approval for the two-tower, $500 million Flourish Soleira development in Palm Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/flourish-soleira-1150-1154-gold-coast-highway-palm-beach-qld-4221">Flourish Soleira</a> will rise from a prominent site in the commercial heart of Palm Beach, the long-time home of Cash Converters and a range of local retailers.

The project will introduce a new retail and dining precinct at ground level, beneath 286 apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=370959]

“We’re very committed to not only providing affordable residential offerings that are much needed in Palm Beach, but also delivering a vibrant new commercial heart that complements the extraordinary growth of the southern Gold Coast,” Sherpa Property Group founder Christie Leet said.

The development will sit under Sherpa's Flourish brand, which is aimed at providing a pathway into the beachside suburb for locals, first-home buyers and downsizers. In a move designed to assist first-home buyers entering the market, Sherpa has reserved all one and two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments exclusively for eligible first-home buyers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=370964]

“Our vision through Flourish is to create a vibrant retail and lifestyle focal point within the Palm Beach centre zone, delivering thriving communities underpinned by lifestyle-rich locations,” Leet said.

“So far, Flourish has been an incredible success, and we hope to carry this momentum as we progress the next two Flourish projects in Palm Beach.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=371430]

Located across 1150-1164 Gold Coast Highway and 3 Sixth Avenue, the development will comprise two towers. The northern tower will deliver 154 apartments, while the southern tower will add a further 132 residences, helping address ongoing demand for new apartments in the tightly held coastal suburb.

Flourish Soleira will also feature the most extensive rooftop amenity offering ever delivered in Palm Beach.

The two towers will be connected by a skybridge, with residents gaining access to a rooftop recreation deck featuring a full-width swimming pool, hot and cold plunge pools, wellness spaces, a gymnasium, private dining facilities, massage treatment rooms, barbecue areas, a basketball court, golf simulator, indoor and outdoor dining spaces, sun lounges and extensive landscaping.

LPS Group is expected to start construction later this year.

Sherpa is already well advanced on construction of its debut Flourish project, Flourish Amargo, located just around the corner from Soleira. Meanwhile, Flourish Oasis, positioned opposite Amargo, recently commenced construction and has nearly sold out its collection of 47 apartments.

Are mortgage holders set to get a reprieve from the RBA in 2026?

Big Four bank NAB believes so. They are now expecting the next move from the RBA to be a cut, rather than a hike, which they had pencilled in for August. They are unsure of the timing of the cut however, they note in their latest&nbsp;NAB Economics RBA Watch.

NAB Chief Economist, Dr Sally Auld, said recent data suggests the economy has lost momentum and the outlook for rates has shifted, noting that the broader economic backdrop has changed since earlier in the year.

“The next move in the cash rate is likely to be down, but the timing is uncertain," Dr Auld said.

"In February, growth was above trend, the economy was operating above capacity and there was uncertainty over the restrictiveness of rates. None of these conditions exist today,” she outlined.

Dr Auld said recent data pointed to softer momentum across the economy while acknowledging that at the same time, uncertainty remains a key feature of the outlook.

“Both Q1 GDP data and the NAB business survey suggest momentum in the economy has slowed, meaning that growth has likely peaked for the cycle. That said, we are cognisant there is still considerable uncertainty around the outlook, both with respect to activity and inflation.”

Dr Auld said inflation risks and labour market outcomes would be important to watch.

“On the prices side, we are still forecasting above target core inflation through to mid-2027. Margins will compress and weaker labour market outcomes are a risk.”

She said tighter financial conditions are expected to weigh on housing and activity.

“Tighter financial conditions will be reflected in a slowing in house price growth and housing credit growth. In summary, we have greater conviction that the next move in rates is down, but less conviction on the timing.”

Bondi Beach

Central Element has continued to pad out its apartment development pipeline with a $51 million purchase of a prime site in <a href="/developments/bondi-beach-nsw-2026">Bondi Beach</a>.

They've secured over 2,000 sqm across 20-22 Sandridge Street and 21 Wilga Street, an amalgamation of six properties across three lots.

The Nathan Chivas-led developer is intending on developing a boutique collection of ultra-premium apartments and houses, with each residences starting from $20 million.

Each residence will include direct access to the Bondi to Bronte coastal walk, expansive outdoor living, swimming pools, secure car parking, and views across the <a href="/developments/bondi-beach-nsw-2026">Bondi Beach</a> to Ben Buckler headland.<a name="m_9038784936690992334__Hlk139531929"></a>&nbsp;

Chivas said the site,&nbsp;on the headland between Bondi Beach and Tamarama Beach, epitomises the very best of the locale, with residential feel just steps away from vibrant Campbell Parade.

“Our latest acquisition marks an important milestone for CE as we enter the tightly held world-famous location of Bondi Beach," Chivas said.

"Among the suburbs bustling development activity, none rival the unique attributes of this parcel of land. Its generous frontages cater to an ultra-premium boutique project, while its elevated position captures truly unparalleled vistas."

The DA is anticipated to be lodged by end 2023, with construction commencing in 2025/2026.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="96c38639-4d71-4b75-b1ae-15ff6d677433" href="/new-apartments/20-22-sandridge-street-bondi-beach"><img alt="Bondi" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="96c38639-4d71-4b75-b1ae-15ff6d677433" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-09-04%20at%208.31.36%20am.png?VersionId=xGs5OEqImkaXYruE3RWwYzGvn_WqWd0A" /></a>

The site was sold by Ric Serrao and Alex Lyons from Raine &amp; Horne Double Bay/Bondi Beach. Serrao and Lyons said the Bondi Beach market is one of the most exciting in Australia at the moment, attracting affluent buyers from lucrative industries such as tech, fashion and finance

“We’re seeing apartments commanding more than $100,000 per sqm, with the recent sale of Notts Avenue to Andrew Roberts, former Managing Director of Multiplex, achieving in excess of $125,000 per sqm. Demand for houses is equally buoyant, reflected in the recent sale of 31 Gaerloch Avenue, Tamarama which sold for around $45 million and 12 Bronte Marine Drive in Bronte which fetched around 22.5 million.

The site acquisition comes a few days after CE were <a href="/news/nsw/central-element-to-redevelop-coogees-1860-s-ballamac-house-into-luxury-apartments">green lit for their redevelopment of Ballamac House</a>, the landmark Coogee mansion turned strata building, which they intend on restoring extending into eight luxury apartments. CE are also currently selling Ethos in Chatswood and Bianca Drummoyne on Sydney Harbour.

The largest-ever single floor penthouse ever built in Bondi Beach has hit the market.

Ray White Projects and Wiesner Property are asking $26.4 million for the sprawling AYA Penthouse, atop the Aqualine Bondi Beach project on Hall Street.

Designed by world-renowned architect Koichi Takada, the expansive 443 sqm penthouse is only footsteps to Bondi Beach and comprises four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and multiple living and entertaining areas.

<img alt="AYA Penthouse" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b8165c70-60fa-4b89-a61c-43d19f16c8b4" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-03-21%20at%208.25.19%20am.png?VersionId=a9TyHxLLFwEwQXwIyPW0QTTELaI73HKF" />

Ray White Projects Managing Partner Eddie Mansour says&nbsp;AYA Penthouse is the epitome of coastal luxury, with an iconic location and iconic design.

“Perched above the heart of Bondi, this penthouse is a one-of-a-kind whose every moment is enhanced by custom inclusions and one-off Takada touches.

“Every square metre of this penthouse goes above and beyond - in this case, size really does matter."&nbsp;

The internal living spaces, which features a two-way fireplace that divides the kitchen and dining area and the living area, open to a terrace with ocean views.

<img alt="Aqualine" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="79f6fb51-03e2-40d2-a38f-8e6e4d3fc0f4" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-03-21%20at%208.25.26%20am.png?VersionId=5KjxV8s5.i9mG.D20kzf2j711sx58P_u" />

Wiesner Property Managing Director Jeremy Wiesner said the one-of-a-kind penthouse would provide the new owner the opportunity to relax and unwind in the indoor/outdoor living area.&nbsp;

“AYA’s interiors are classic Takada, the light and airy palette and soft edges reflect its beachside setting,” Wiesner said.&nbsp;

“It’s a ‘super penthouse' that invites entertaining and relaxation in equally expansive measures.

“Open-plan living flows throughout. The kitchen, dining, and living areas are naturally symbiotic, bathed in sunlight by floor-to-ceiling windows and overhead skylights.”&nbsp;

Aqualine, at 45 Hall Street, is being developed by Moshav Financial and will home just 17 luxury apartments, two basement levels for parking, and retail space on the lower two ground levels.

AYA Penthouse, Bondi Beach's largest single-level apartment, hits the market

Entrepreneur Dominique Portier has lodged plans for a prime Bondi Beach site.

Sydney-based architects Studio Johnston have designed the proposed three-storey building at 112 O'Brien Street, with the location described as "at the gateway to Bondi Beach."

There will be six apartments, two studio, two one-bed, and two two-bed units, above two ground-level retail spaces.

The design takes full advantage of the existing site conditions and easterly views, whilst developing a balanced massing that helps lessen the perception of the building scale and ensure views from neighbouring sites are not compromised.

The building&nbsp;will be softened with green-walls, improved landscaping in the communal open space and on-podium garden-beds, offering respite from heat-islands whilst upgrading surrounding amenity, providing a positive, organic impact to neighbourhood.

Landscape designs have been handled by Melissa Wilson Landscape Architects, who have created a number of open elements in both the foyer and circulation spaces, while also&nbsp;curating a design that cloaks and protects the building, providing pockets for landscape to be integrated.

Deciduous planting will fill the trellis on each facade, with the planting receding during the cooler months to invite the sun in and warm the building, before growing back to provide shade during the summer months.&nbsp;

<img alt="Bondi Beach" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="81c1f3ec-3f0a-4ec7-a4d4-6669ed6c99f7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-03-08%20at%2012.33.52%20pm.png?VersionId=axC93YhLvLsnQFvKJ1CK1tTlKULK.goj" />

Generous landscaping along each facade soften the public realm whilst also being an integral cooling device on the Western facade.

Across the difficultly-oriented site, Studio Johnston have still maintained the laid-back nature of the suburb in their design, with the choice of materials and finishes reflecting the nearby ocean.&nbsp;The sage tile-panels reflect the rippling ocean lapping the beach with the interspersed muted tones will compliment the surrounding nature.&nbsp;

Externally, the building has been articulated to provide visual interest, with a podium and set-back first-floor with a premium placed upon mass-repeated elements across the rhythmically composed facade.&nbsp;

The narrow in-fill characteristic of the site promotes breezes infiltration and cross ventilation, while internally, large, operable windows and integrated private open-spaces filter both light and ventilation throughout the homes.&nbsp;

Sustainability was a key focus in the design, developed through passive design and sun control elements.&nbsp;Solar access, natural ventilation and integrated landscaping characterise the development, which will help to achieve low-energy consumption for residents.&nbsp;

First look: Plans lodged for boutique Bondi Beach apartments

Sydney's Eastern Suburbs is the most expensive pocket of real estate in the whole of the country.

Whether it's harbourside Point Piper, where four of Australia's most expensive house sales have occurred in recent years, or beachside at Bondi or Bronte, demand for prestige houses is always bubbling away.

In 2022 there were 72 sales settle over the $10 million mark, 32 of those over $15 million, just in the Woollahra LGA alone.

Ray White Projects Managing Partner Eddie Mansour believes prestige turnover could be higher however, if there were more high-end new apartment developments being launched.

"You've got a consistently high turnover of prestige house sales every year in Sydney's most affluent areas," Mansour says.

"With limited prestige developments launching, there's very few places for these sellers to go.

"They could be walking away with over $10 plus million in cash, and want to buy a bolthole in Sydney and another home in a Hinterland or Coastal location, which will ultimately end up as a potential retirement dwelling.

"But there's not enough high-end apartment stock to service these buyers, which makes them hold onto their homes longer."

Mansour says these buyers aren't affected by interest rate movements. If something comes to the market, they can buy it within a day without the same bank approvals the majority of Sydney buyers need.

Last year the Ray White Projects team snappily sold out the second stage of the luxury 1788 Double Bay apartment development, Encore by SJD Property (pictured main and below). In the first stage that has been settled only one of the 26 buyers need a bank valuation, the rest settled in cash.<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="15" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/N4kZ70X8XvJVa-YXuc-e86ry1-RKnovAEwvHhkr0w5UvepuLCiPVUXzW7kHYgemlXi2uQNuGCGcvWX3H8nq46mNA9rSDrOeNmhaAUWTrMNS4KHO-vJ_JyTSzEWjAf7RVjPQcrJh87BylGhSZNZ2gdBVvMrzh8DdHjHYetwoAnyANh4icFTlzv2mW-S1Scw" title="Click and drag to move" width="15" />

The Encore 1788 development by SJD Property

Prices for the one-bed apartments started from $2 million.

Mansour says the project acted as a good opportunity for those downsizing locally to secure a bolthole.&nbsp;

"At any given time the building, at best, is about 50 percent occupied. It's predominantly used as the owners' Sydney residence."

Mansour noted a trend during the sales process at 1788, a trend which has become more and more prominent in Sydney's east.

"There were a number of buyers in the project amalgamating apartments, buying two apartments to create one of the largest apartments in the block," Mansour said, adding that amalgamations are something the Woollahra Council are starting to limit.

"They want to try and keep entry level units in new apartment developments affordable for a wider range of buyers, rather than those that have just sold their prestige home and can put together two or three smaller apartments in the building."

Amalgamations were prevalent at the new luxury Bondi Beach development Aqualine on Hall Street, albeit located in the Waverley LGA.<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="15" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/LEzA1Ai56jJxEFV6qG7lzg-TXXh263gKJsX4Ps3rEayx16FEcPjB5WPrp6GTQ1z-9oNQMpv7j2nwvPbvjy2TRx3zc6dJQPMAVK4K_BX8uddr9VUyez-EAO9MU1ldqWFEbMUWctml4ozM5Q_bXzX7tvH0wiIzi6KJwRqbbfF2zzwdYyDGRndggs11GjhoVg" title="Click and drag to move" width="15" />

The Aqualine, Bondi Beach project designed by Koichi Takada

The latest development on Sydney's beaches by prominent architect Koichi Takada, the plans for Aqualine were for 17 apartments, but a number of amalgamations has taken the total number of apartments down to 12.

Ray White Projects have all but sold out the project, with just the $26 million penthouse remaining. That's expected to launch in the next few months, and will be the largest apartment across a single level in Bondi Beach, sprawling some 450 plus sqm.

Mansour says there's been a lot of interest for the project both locally and offshore for the four-bedroom apartment complete with multiple living/entertaining areas and two balconies.

There are less and less approvals coming through councils for high-end apartment developments, Mansour notes, across both Sydney's East and North Shore.

"There were five or six developments we were expected to work on at the back end of this year, however with delays, they're all now pushed out to the start of 2023," Mansour says

Ray White Projects Managing Partner Eddie Mansour believes prestige turnover could be higher however, if there were more high-end new apartment developments being launched

The prolific Bondi Beach developers Eduard Litver and Allen Linz are back developing on the beachfront.

Litver, who runs Capit.el Group, and Linz, of Rebel Property Group, are teaming up with fellow eastern suburbs property developer Gil Baron to create a boutique project at 14-18 Campbell Parade, which runs all the way along the beach front.

The trio, under the development name Bondi Residence Pty Ltd, spent $15 million early last year on a commercial building at the south end of the beach opposite Notts Avenue, the exclusive street of Icebergs and some of Bondi's most expensive apartments. Currently the building is home to Bondi Beach Chemist and Kelp Hairdressing, and a handful of apartments.

The original building on the site was named the Cliff House Hotel, and was built around 1880. The Cliff House was demolished in the early 1920s and a new hotel (now Hotel Astra), was built by Jack Shaw around 1926. The remainder of the site was subdivided and sold, and the current building was constructed a few years later.

Litver, Linz and Baron are proposing the redevelopment of the block, creating seven apartments.&nbsp;

<img alt="Bondi Beach" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="50423848-3fcf-46a5-a09c-3746b4cace3d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-01-16%20at%201.24.03%20pm.png?VersionId=7c6f0I68Tuf5iKB_eJyTRQdlKvQ5tPZl" />

Brian Meyerson's MHNDU note in their design statement that the&nbsp;proposed development aims to contextually `fit in’ with both its immediate neighbours and the wider suburb.

"The proposed new building had been designed to retain the form and understanding of the Inter-war Flat Building when viewed from the public domain," the design statement submitted to Waverley Council read.

They state the different apartment types and sizes are deemed suitable for the desired character of the area, aiming to attract a range of owners from families and downsizers to young professionals.

There will be six two-bedroom apartments on offer, each occupying half a floor and spanning 86 sqm. The whole top level is crowned by a whole floor, three-bedroom apartment, complete with a fireplace and a full-width, ocean-facing terrace.

"The building is designed generous apartment sizes and internal dimensions to create usable, functional and highly saleable apartments of excellent quality", MHNDU added.

<img alt="Campbell Parade" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ddff0f18-9da9-4bd1-9b5a-b04e8e819043" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-01-16%20at%201.27.59%20pm.png?VersionId=LqNSXCzjkqlilSSEtb61CpyvUDVPtUoo" />

"The apartments facing Campbell Parade are furnished with generous private open spaces overlooking the street which will enjoy direct beach and water views and are considered highly amenable.

"As these apartments are generally East facing they will receive direct morning sunlight and the design aims to maximise this will full width sliding glazed doors to each apartment.

"Coupled with this are the enclosed bay windows which aim to be extensions of living rooms offering a truly inside/outside space and are designed to be habitable all throughout the year and even on cold, wet, windy days."

A focus on the design was to minimise energy use and maximise the efficient use of resources.

Each apartment has a 100 per cent rate of natural cross ventilation, while balcony projections help to control solar access and heat gain by limiting summer sun penetration&nbsp;whilst allowing the lower winter sun to penetrate deep in to the plan and private open spaces.

The ground floor is planned for a single retail tenancy.

Litver, Linz and Baron have all teamed up previously in Bondi. In&nbsp;2016 they spent $19.12 million on the former Bates milk bar at 124 Campbell Parade.

Litver and Linz are well known for their redevelopment of the Bondi Pacific building up the street.

First look: New apartments set for Bondi Beach's Campbell Parade

Prominent eastern suburbs developers HSN are back to the popular Bondi locale, setting their sights on Bondi Beach this time having previously developed Ellipse in Bondi Junction.&nbsp;

The property group, along with their construction arm HSN Construction, has lodged plans for a residential development across an amalgamated 1166 sqm site at 55 Hall Street.

Located just 350 metres from the sand of the iconic Bondi Beach, PBD Architects have been engaged to design the four-storey shop-top project, which will deliver just 16 apartments above ground floor retail space.&nbsp;

In keeping with market demand and residential options in the area, a mix of floorplans will be constructed, with one one-bedroom apartments, 12 two-bedders and four three-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

“The surrounding context has seen some impressive developments come to fruition in the past decade, many of which have contributed to the Australian coastal character of the area,” PBD said in their application plans.&nbsp;

“The site functions as a development that seeks to activate the Hall Street street frontage, with the design sympathetic to the pattern of development and desired future character of Bondi.”

The overall style of the Hall St residences is eclectic, however it fits in with the wider neighbourhood’s context through its Australian coastal style.&nbsp;

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="dbd912d0-4364-4f62-a9eb-e3eacc12c733" href="/new-apartments/55-hall-street-bondi-beach"><img alt="Render of the Hall Street development. " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="dbd912d0-4364-4f62-a9eb-e3eacc12c733" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-11-29%20at%205.22.22%20pm.png?VersionId=XLO08Wvwsy18GDNTes0ClhZLYHNo7aSw" /></a>Render of the Hall St development.&nbsp;

Framed glazing throughout maximises the solar orientation of the apartments, while also capitalising on the views.&nbsp;

A mix of fluted precast concrete will make up the base of the development, complemented by natural stone and a mix of brown and green hued elements.

A close collaboration with renowned landscape architects, Bates Landscape has resulted in a synthesis of building design, further corroborating the design with the natural surrounds. &nbsp;

The landscape proposal draws upon the unique ecological character of the Bondi area, with planter boxes utilised throughout the building facade, as well as across the ground floor, seamlessly connecting the project to the natural neighbourhood.&nbsp;

The site’s location near to the best Bondi has to offer will also means future residents will be within walking distance to a number of cafes, restaurants, bars and supermarkets, as well as a range of public transport options, providing connection to a wider range of facilities, including schools and the Sydney CBD.&nbsp;

There’s been a string of developers who have taken to the popular street in recent times, including <a href="/news/nsw/first-look-allen-linz-and-eduard-litver-team-up-for-new-hall-street-bondi-apartments">Allen Linz and Eduard Litver’s $12.5m project across an amalgamated site at 34-38 Hall St.&nbsp;</a>

The four-level building will have ground floor retail, apartments above, and two-levels of basement parking, with the block bookended by the heritage Post Office to the east.

Embece Studio were enlisted to design the plans for the project, taking inspiration, not dissimilar to PBD, from the neighbourhood’s surrounding landscape and greenery.

The well-known Sydney property investor and developer, <a href="/news/nsw/vaughan-blank-set-for-apartment-development-on-bondi-beachs-hall-street">Vaughan Blank, has also submitted $9.4 million plans to transform the old Westpac building on Hall St.&nbsp;</a>

He'll be creating a new shop-top housing building, with 15 apartments and retail premises on the ground floor, designed by BANG Architecture.&nbsp;

Last year F45 co-founder Rob Deutsche spent nearly $20.65 million on a prime site on Campbell Parade site, the exclusive strip fronting Bondi Beach.

Now, it's been revealed what he's going to do with it.

Recent plans submitted to the Waverley Council are for four luxury apartments above a retail premises at 56 Campbell Parade.

<img alt="The Bondi apartments" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e54c5e3b-336b-4999-8d51-a7f7275eec59" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-20%20at%2011.12.21%20am.png?VersionId=U41N35uktDcOCjFJ4bLTuOy8YpuGsKe1" />

The existing building will be retained. While not heritage-listed, it is deemed as a contributory building within the Bondi Beach Heritage Conservation area and makes a positive contribution to the streetscape of Campbell Parade, a heritage statement prepared for the development submission noted.

There will be a substantial demolition of the rear of the building to make way for a striking new design by architecture firm&nbsp;Architects Nicholas + Associates.

<img alt="The Bondi apartments" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2bd42a21-40d7-4639-b8bc-6eb2d7ba65c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-20%20at%2011.12.25%20am.png?VersionId=fZzaj2dfu4JQPJjE77kFyJIMFfSumxzs" />

The existing retail premises will be expanded to spill over two levels and face Campbell Parade.

There are already four apartments within the building, so the density won't change, but at the moment they are only spread over two levels. There will four levels for the new building, offering considerably more size.

The ground level apartment will have nearly 140 sqm of internal space with three bedrooms and a rear terrace.

Above will be two two-level apartments, which share levels one and two. Each will have four bedrooms and around 220 sqm of internal space, as well as a balcony with gun-barrel views across to the beach.

Topping the development will be a two-level penthouse spanning 250 sqm. The whole top level is dedicated to the master suite which opens to a private 25 sqm terrace with plunge pool.

The application comes a few months after next door, 58 Campbell Parade, <a href="/news/nsw/first-look-rare-new-apartments-to-hit-bondi-beachs-campbell-parade">sought redevelopment into a luxury development of 10 apartments</a>.

The project, designed by MHNDU, is currently under appeal to the NSW Land and Environment Court. MHNDU noted it was important in the design&nbsp;to&nbsp;retain a number of notable original building features. They opened the façade, creating more established viewpoints of the iconic neighbouring beach.

When Deutsche secured the keys at the December auction for the Campbell Parade site, a number of Bondi's most prolific developers were in attendance, including&nbsp;Rebel Property Group’s Allen Linz, who developed Pacific Bondi, and investor and developer Vaughan Blank, both of whom have recently submitted development applications for new apartments around the corner on Hall Street.

Exclusive first look: F45 co-founder's Bondi Beach apartment plans revealed

Bondi Beach's famed Campbell Parade strip, across the road from the beach, is set for a rare new apartment development.

MHN Design Union have designed plans for <a href="/new-apartments/mayfair-bondi-beach-58-campbell-parade-bondi-beach">Mayfair</a>, a $7.8 million project which will deliver a boutique collection of just 10 residences to 58 Campbell Parade, replacing an original block of 17.

The project has been crafted to&nbsp;retain a number of notable original building features. MHNDU will&nbsp;open the façade, creating more established viewpoints of the iconic neighbouring beach.

The five-level&nbsp;building will see&nbsp;two apartments per floor, barring the ground level and the top level, which will home just one residence.

The ground floor apartment comprises two-bedrooms, benefitting from an adjoining balcony, facing Lamrock Place, as well as a grassed courtyard area.

<a href="/new-apartments/mayfair-bondi-beach-58-campbell-parade-bondi-beach"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="1194" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-07-29_at_2.38.42_pm.png" width="1360" /></a>

Each of the apartments from level one to four contain three-bedrooms, with the master bedrooms featuring&nbsp;an ensuite and a walk-in-robe, as well as a west-facing Juliet balcony and herb garden.

The bedrooms are located at the rear of the home in each of the residences, with the living, kitchen and dining spaces following an open-plan layout, designed to maximise view lines, as well as cross flow ventilation.

Floor-to-ceiling doors slide open to adjoining balconies, which front Campbell Parade, creating enviable views to Bondi Beach.

Due to the space of the entry cutting floorspace across the level one apartments, each residence from level two features a larger living, dining and kitchen area, along with an expansive 16 sqm east-facing balcony.

Crowning the project will be the level five penthouse which will have&nbsp;four bedrooms. The master bedroom, complete with walk in wardrobe and ensuite, has been positioned to connect to the large 52 sqm balcony that overlooks Bondi Beach. The balcony is set to feature a spa.

An additional bathroom, powder-room and ensuite will also feature, with a second lounge room located at the back of the residence with a&nbsp;Juliet balcony.

The main kitchen, living and dining space is open at the front of the home, with the kitchen set to include a walk-in-pantry and wine storage room.

The development duo&nbsp;behind Bondi's redevelopment of the Bondi Pacific are back again for a new project around the corner.

Rebel Property Group’s&nbsp;Allen Linz and Capit.el Group’s&nbsp;Eduard Litver have submitted plans for a&nbsp;$12.5m project across an amalgamated site at&nbsp;34-38 Hall Street, Bondi's popular shopping strip.

The four-level building will have ground floor retail, apartments above, and two-levels of basement parking.

The proposed site forms an important part of the block along Hall St from Jacques to Consett Avenue, with the block bookended by the heritage Post Office to the east.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="1308" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-07-11_at_9.05.52_pm.png" width="2296" />

The proposed site forms an important part of the block along Hall St from Jacques to Consett Avenue, with the block bookended by the heritage Post Office to the east.

Embece Studio was enlisted to design the plans for the Hall St project, taking inspiration from the neighbourhood’s surrounding landscape and greenery.

Mladen Prnjatovic,&nbsp;Ben Green and Chi Melhem teamed up to establish Embece, with the Chippendale-based trio designing everything from bespoke private homes to city-scaled projects and precincts.

“We are proposing to draw this landscape into the architecture of our building, extending it around the corner and into Hall Street, bringing new biodiversity and life into the street,” Embece noted in their design application.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="1118" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-07-12_at_6.07.21_pm.png" width="1516" />

“Our design is a direct response to the character of the place. It maximizes the vibrant neighbourhood character of Bondi and makes great places for people to live.”

A palette of white off form concrete and ceramic tiles make up the built form, which has been designed to extend the corner into Hall St from Consett, established through curved geometry and a series of landscaped pockets.

Ground Ink handled the landscape architecture, with&nbsp;significant planting to the rear gardens planned and landscaping integrated into the architecture as well as the roof terrace.

"The landscape character of Consett Avenue turns the corner into Hall street, transforming the experience of the street as well as the apartments within the building," Ground Ink noted.

The Hall Street precinct is currently undergoing significant change and development, with a string of projects recently completed in the area, including the duo’s Pacific, Bondi project, as well as TOGA’s, Bondi Boheme, and the Silvester Fuller designed, The Drift.

Linz recently lodged plans for a sprawling 6,400 sqm Woolloomooloo site, with the $161 million project set to bring 229 apartments across 10-levels, with an extensive rooftop garden landscaped by Ground Ink.

The four-level building will have ground floor retail, apartments above, and two-levels of basement parking

First look: Allen Linz and Eduard Litver team up for new Hall Street, Bondi apartments

The well-known Sydney property investor and developer, Vaughan Blank, has submitted $9.4 million plans to transform the old Westpac building&nbsp;on Bondi Beach&#39;s exclusive Hall Street in to a mixed-use precinct.

He&#39;ll be creating a new shop-top housing building, with retail premises on the ground floor of 26-32 Hall Street, and 15 apartments above.

BANG Architecture handled the design of the building, just a stones throw from the famous sand, which Blank bought for $17 million earlier this year.

Architect Wieger Meijer, who heads up BANG, said in the design statement submitted to Waverley Council, that&nbsp;Bondi Beach has seen some impressive developments come to fruition in the past decade.

<a href="/new-apartments/26-32-hall-street-bondi-beach">To track the development, enquire here.</a>

<img alt="" height="784" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/hall_st_bondi_beach_2.jpg" width="1200" />

&quot;The desired future character can be seen by the overall high design standards, which on its turn has improved the face of Bondi significantly,&quot;&nbsp;Meijer said.

&quot;The trend of these high design standards have been a key driver in the design process of the proposed development at 26-32 Hall Street.&quot;

Meijer described the overall style as &quot;eclectic&quot;, however noted that&nbsp;all developments are tied together with an overall Australian Beach style which has influenced them.

<a href="/new-apartments/26-32-hall-street-bondi-beach">To track the development, enquire here.</a>

&quot;The introduction of the proposal adds to the developing image of Bondi and adds a lifestyle component to it,&quot; Meijer added.

The development, which sits next to the former post office building which has also been converted to apartments, will comprise six one-bedroom apartments, two two-bedroom apartments and seven three-bedroom apartments.

Meijer says the proposal also reflects current market demands in relation to typologies and living patterns currently established in the local area.

<a href="/new-apartments/26-32-hall-street-bondi-beach">To track the development, enquire here.</a>

Vaughan Blank has been a keen investor&nbsp;in Sydney&#39; eastern suburbs apartment market for a number of years, having previously spent over $33 million on a block of Art Deco flats in Edgecliff in 2017, which at the time was highest price paid at auction for a residential property in Australia.

Blank has adjoining future developments sites on the Bondi&#39;s O&#39;Brien Street.&nbsp;

Earlier this year $8 million plans were submitted for a <a href="/news/nsw/new-apartments-heading-to-bondi-beachs-hall-street">new&nbsp;arcade precinct and apartment development</a> just up the road across&nbsp;31, 35 and 37 Hall Street.

Behind the heritage building and facade which will remain at the street front will be a new arcade and 25 apartments, designed by&nbsp;Brian Meyerson, of the&nbsp;Surry Hills-based&nbsp;MHNDU.
