Sydney's top 15 new apartments developments set to launch in 2026

Developer-builder <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dasco-australia">DASCO</a> has pushed beyond the now-standard inclusions of rooftop pools and landscaped podiums at its recently launched new Epping project, Senso.

It has laid out over 4,000 sqm of resident-only amenity in a move designed to compete directly with low-density housing on livability, not just density. The result is a development that supports genuine daily use through purposeful spaces distributed across its five-building, 479-apartment precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4396]

Two rooftop pools form the anchor of Senso. One is a 27-metre lap pool adjoining a heated spa, designed for everyday fitness rather than just summer leisure. The second sits on a lower podium, allowing different buildings to share in vertical access and reducing crowding during peak times.

It is the secondary spaces that start to distinguish Senso from other large-scale suburban projects. A rooftop cinema is integrated into a landscaped terrace, offering open-air screenings with natural ventilation and passive cooling.&nbsp;

The inclusion of a “sensory walk”, an elevated boardwalk that threads through the site, suggests a rare investment in non-commercial, non-essential amenity: space for quiet movement that doesn’t double as access or traffic circulation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4402]

The gym and wellness centre, often relegated to a small ground-floor room in many builds, takes on more substance here. Residents have access to a fully equipped gym, as well as outdoor yoga areas and meditative zones that integrate greenery and natural light.&nbsp;

The Club Lounge is similarly designed to support multiple use cases, with a private dining terrace, kitchenette, workspace, and lockable wine storage. These aren’t superficial additions; their scale and spatial allocation indicate serious intent for frequent resident use.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4391]

Importantly, Senso’s amenities are embedded within a site that spans more than 10,000 sqm, allowing for better separation between spaces and reduced noise spillover, a critical but often overlooked factor in high-density developments. This spatial generosity also enables multiple alfresco kitchens and communal terraces without compromising individual privacy or usable space.

While many developments make claims about lifestyle, few back it with this level of built infrastructure. Senso’s mix of dedicated fitness, wellness, social and passive green spaces suggests a conscious response to the post-pandemic shift in housing expectations, especially among owner-occupiers.&nbsp;

DASCO is one of several leading developers who have taken out Resilience Insurance's Latent Defects Insurance policy, providing buyers with a 10-year structural and waterproofing warranty, and giving them the ultimate peace of mind.

Senso is scheduled for completion in late 2028.

The outdoor amenities elevating life at Senso, Epping

Following the proposal by the Minns Labor Government to rezone Parramatta Road to create up to 8,000 new homes, prominent developer Ceerose has gone to the NSW Gov to increase the density of its new mixed-use residential building in Leichhardt.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/ceerose">Ceerose</a>, founded by Edward Doueihi nearly three decades ago, has filed plans for 154 apartments above ground-floor retail at 307-315 Parramatta Road, a key corner site near Norton Street, the main high street strip in Leichhardt.

It's an upsize from the previously approved scheme of 63 apartments across a seven-storey building.

<img alt="Ceerose" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ba1ae75b-5f08-43fb-b8d5-3de6d9f6ef71" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-04%20at%2010.31.39%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=yA3hBBLPH4ev7MsAE0_hieXeqiFqBUb7" />

The project is being advanced through the State Significant Development (SSD) pathway, with concurrent rezoning sought to facilitate the proposal. The 10-storey development would rise over a four-level basement and deliver two retail tenancies, one a larger-format offering and the other a smaller “hole in the wall” space, addressing the Parramatta Road frontage. 21 of the apartments are dedicated as affordable housing.

According to the Urban Design Report by Architecture AND, the scheme includes a podium and tower configuration, with a fine-grain, two-storey parapet street wall that references the traditional shopfront rhythm along the corridor. “An elegant tower form is proposed, combined with a characterful two storey frontage... articulating it as two related buildings, providing consistency with the rhythm and grain of Parramatta Road,” the report notes.

The residential component is split across two slender towers set back from the street edge, a design move aimed at preserving solar access and reducing perceived bulk. This massing strategy also seeks to improve residential amenity by focusing scale toward the quieter northern interface, away from Parramatta Road’s noise and pollution.

<img alt="Ceerose" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="347f2f8f-5d36-4388-b40a-2e77380b9c19" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-04%20at%2010.31.02%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=xvyUE2ujT1lzivXTo.mHBJFF4SmfgLtz" />

Architecture AND has worked with Ceerose on previous Inner West projects, and cites a deep familiarity with the local character. Their design draws heavily on context, heritage, and sunlight access considerations, and engages with the Inner West Council’s “Our Fairer Future” strategic planning framework.

The site spans 2,712 sqm and is located near key intersections with Catherine Street, Hay Street, and Redmond Street. It adjoins a public carpark to the north and is within walking distance of Stanmore and Petersham stations. It is also flagged in state and local planning strategies, including the Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation Strategy, as a suitable candidate for increased density.

Ceerose recently completed The Alex Collective on McEvoy Street in Alexandria, Abbie's Lane in Annandale, and the award-winning Munro House in Elizabeth Bay.

The Parramatta Road corridor is coming to life with the proposed rezoning which is serviced by a significant number of bus, light rail and train routes.

Deicorp is progressing with its $1.8 billion <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> precinct on Parramatta Road in Five Dock, as is <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/toga-to-push-on-with-five-dock-mixed-use-masterplan">TOGA further down the street</a>. Those two projects alone will bring nearly 2,000 new homes to Parramatta Road.

North Sydney's landmark 'SBS Building' on Alfred Street is set to be demolished to make way for a new mixed-use residential tower in the booming North Sydney.

Commercial property group FiveX is behind the plans for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/275-alfred-street-north-north-sydney-nsw-2060">39-storey tower</a>, the latest project to advance under the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

They are proposing 184 apartments above retail spaces, which will replace the existing 20-storey commercial building. FiveX was set up more than five decades ago by Joshua and Marko Berger. It is currently led by Joshua's son Lesli.&nbsp;

<img alt="First look: Fivex plans 39-storey residential tower at 275 Alfred Street, North Sydney" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2efa0980-53fa-4cca-9f9e-9c3c845d4746" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Article%20Feature%20Image%20%28Grid%29%20%281%29_0.png?VersionId=y_YyPMq3NQLfYRs84pP4os9UgWiMLp75" />

According to the Architectural Design Report by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fjc-studio">FJC Studio</a>, the slender tower form has been deliberately designed to respect the site's transitional setting at the southern gateway to the North Sydney CBD, where high-rise towers give way to lower-scale residential precincts.

"The slender tower form and articulated podium establish a respectful relationship with nearby heritage and low rise buildings, including the Whaling Road Heritage Conservation Area,” the architecture firm noted, adding that the tower “completes a missing link in the urban fabric” while enhancing the Alfred Street streetscape.

The proposed building will include a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, with 15 percent of the gross residential floor area allocated as affordable housing. There is an agreement already in place that those apartments will be managed by Evolve Housing.

The project aligns with broader state housing objectives, including the National Housing Accord target of delivering 1.2 million new homes by 2029. The Scoping Report filed with the State Significant Development Application (SSDA) suggests the site "presents no impediments to rapid delivery,” with construction able to commence within 12 months of receiving consent.

North Sydney has been one of the most popular suburbs in Sydney for new and off the plan apartment development, but hasn't had the supply to keep up with demand, until recently.

AURA by Aqualand was, for a long time, the only off the plan apartment building on the market. That completed last year, and has sold the majority of its 386 luxury apartments. Recently ALAND launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-walden-173-179-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">The Walden</a> on the same street, selling over $100 million within just a few hours of its launch, while developer CASA also launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-mclaren-north-sydney-45-mclaren-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">The McLaren</a>&nbsp;in the same precinct.

Kokoda appoints builder for $1.5 billion Teneriffe Banks waterfront precinct

Casino

<html><body>
Residential properties that fit the flash and the furious mould within the Kyogle and Casino regions are rather slim in number, according to the latest Herron Todd White (HTW) report. 
The report suggests for these rural towns, any detached house within the residential zoned area achieving a sales figure above $500,000 certainly invokes a response in the locals.
A case in point is the sale recorded at 4 Rosewood Place, Kyogle (pictured below) for $518,000 in July 2019.
Located in a 1990s-era subdivision, the two level, four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with three-car accommodation stands out from the rest having been fully renovated inside and out.
"Complete with tiered seating in the main lounge with an LCD projector and motorized screen, you have a veritable cinema under the roof!" the valuation firm said. 
 <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/2019/11/18/4%20rosewood%20pl.jpg" alt="">
In the popular satellite suburb of Gays Hill, near Casino, the most expensive house sale for 2019 was<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-casino-130996450" target="_blank"> 6 Devon Court </a>(pictured below) for $549,000 in July 2019.
A more original 1990s, but extremely well maintained and spacious four-bedroom, two-bathroom home with two-car accommodation is a testament to the first owner’s care and attention.
"This level of price is generally found to be more akin with more modern houses....so this one was an eye opener," the valuation firm commented. 
 <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/2019/11/18/6%20devon%20court.jpg" alt="">
Rural residential properties usually command the upper price levels within close proximity to Casino and Kyogle, as they benefit from rural views and having the space and opportunity to go nuts on landscaping and ancillary improvements, the report noted.
A unique property located on a well elevated 6.44 hectare site is 38 Chisholm Court, Collins Creek which sold for $700,000 in May 2019.
Contemporary in its design with only three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a detached two-car garage, the house site affords panoramic rural and mountain views to the north and east and is only ten kilometres from Kyogle.
"Far enough away but not too far....as they say. No problems with water supply thanks to a recently installed bore," the valuation firm added.
 <img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2019/11/18/38%20Chisholm%20Court%20Collins%20Creek.jpeg" alt="">
"In a recently developed rural residential estate in Naughtons Gap, approximately ten kilometres north-east of Casino CBD, we have <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-naughtons+gap-131229226" target="_blank">35 Ironbark Place</a>, a four bedroom, two bathroom, modern home with two-car built-in garage and a lot of bells and whistles such as ducted air conditioning, solar power system, 12 x 9 metre machinery shed, inground pool and 130,000 litres of water storage, all on a 2.424 hectare site for $755,000 in June 2019.
"Every whim and wish catered for here!" the valuation firm said. 
 <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/2019/11/18/35%20Ironbark%20pl.jpg" alt="">
"Lastly, we have the larger, rural lifestyle properties that crack the $1 million plus ceiling and can leave a tear in the eye (or wallet). Consider <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-lifestyle-nsw-casino-7595607" target="_blank">3309 Bruxner Highway, Casino </a>for $1.095 million in June 2019.
"A well laid out 40.33 hectare property with a 1990s, five-bedroom, two- bathroom, brick home with pleasant features such as a wide alfresco area, inground pool, three-bay garage and attached carport, fully equipped bore, dam...a machinery or store shed large enough to fit a Donald Trump Winnebago election troupe travel group – yeah... that’s big.
"Together with clean flat to easy undulating topography and a short ten minute drive from Casino, you can have the luxury of residential and rural living in one package," the valuation firm said. 
<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/2019/11/18/3309%20Bruxner%20Highway%20Casino.jpg" alt=""> 
Similarly, a 41 hectare property at<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-mixed+farming-nsw-kyogle-700013478" target="_blank"> 1233 Collins Creek Road, Collins Creek </a>is only 14 kilometres north of Kyogle CBD and includes a three- bedroom, two-bathroom homestead set amongst whispering gums with panoramic north-easterly rural views and views of Border Ranges National Park.
"The clean and improved pastures keep the cattle happy as well whilst you lounge on the open verandah and take in the cool breezes and eye catching scenery. At $1.01 million in June 2019, you would think this is a bargain!" the valuation firm said. 
"With the recent cut in interest rates, one would be forgiven for casting an eye on the more pricey real estate." 
<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/2019/11/18/1233%20Collins%20Creek%20Road%20Collins%20Creek%20.jpg" alt="">
A brief glance at the residential market for Casino and Kyogle shows only a handful of properties listed in the $500,000 plus price bracket and they appear to be sticking around.
However, this is not the case for rental accommodation in Casino and Kyogle with the bulk of the rental stock being listed and quickly occupied.
At a rental range of $250 per week to $500 per week, there is a sensing of tightening in supply throughout.
For larger rural lifestyle properties near Casino and Kyogle, the $1 million-plus price bracket listing is becoming more apparent for well-presented rural lifestyle properties with a plethora of features such as creek or river frontage, elevated rural or mountain views and good quality and range of improvements.
"In summary, the Casino and Kyogle region has its share of eye candy and there appears to be a market demand to savour it."

Rural residential properties close to Casino and Kyogle command the upper price levels: HTW residential 

<html><body>
Given that residential rent levels in most regional centres and towns have improved over the past 12 months, common sense would indicate that the gross yields for residential property in the regional areas of Casino and Kyogle would be somewhat higher than the more expensive properties located on the coast, according to the latest Herron Todd White (HTW) residential report. 
The valuation firm took a look at the rental yields across the nation to dissect where to find the best returns in residential market.
"Quite simply, the price level of residential housing (dwellings or units) in a regional area is generally going to be at a significantly lower base compared to a similar house type in a coastal area which helps the conversion of the rental into a higher gross yield (before expenses and debt servicing)," the valuation firm said. 
For example, imagine a four-bedroom, two-bathroom, modern brick clad dwelling with a double garage in Casino on a 700 square metre site with a value of between $400,000 and $450,000 and a rental value of around $450 to $500 per week.
This translates to a gross yield of approximately 5.5% for a single dwelling (based on a 50 week rental period with an allowance of two weeks vacancy).
"Get yourself a functional teleportation machine and convert those said improvements into an energy pattern (a process called dematerialisation) and beam them onto a similar sized parcel of land about 50 kilometres to the east coast near say Ballina or East Ballina. 
"From there, expect the price level for similar improvements to have a market value of around $700,000 to $750,000," the valuation firm added. 
Rental levels are tipped to be around $600 to $650 per week, thereby, translating to a gross yield of closer to 4.25%.
The figures sound even more tempting when considering that the demand for rental accommodation in Casino and Kyogle is relatively strong for properties at the lower end of the market value range.
There is always a need for accommodation and it is generally at the base or lower level of the market value range where we can see a boost to the gross yield rate, the report noted. 
There are examples of residential dwellings in Casino and Kyogle where the market value of the detached dwellings on a standard house site under $225,000 can fetch market rental rates of around $275 to $300 per week. This translates to a gross yield of around six to 6.50%.
Similar gross yield rates can be achieved by two- bedroom, one-bathroom, attached units with a single carport or garage, particularly within close proximity of the CBD in Casino or Kyogle – a favourite for the older generation tenant needing to be close to town services.
"Well...doesn’t that sound like a property investor’s dream come true! Especially when term deposit rates at the bank are at an all-time low (think 1.5% to 2%) and fixed mortgage rates are hovering around the mid-3%.
"However, within these regional areas such as Casino and Kyogle, the trade-off for reasonable gross yield rates is that capital gain is not expected to be overly significant within a short term time frame," the valuation firm said. 
It really needs to be a long term vision of possibly 10-plus years to see some significant capital gain.
Otherwise, if the property offers some added opportunity such as subdivision of excess land to create an additional lot or a revamp of the internal layout of a house or unit to create an additional bedroom in order to improve the property’s appeal and market value, then some capital gain could be realised in a shorter time frame.
In such circumstances, by selling excess land as a separate lot or title, the net proceeds could be used to reduce the overall principal debt which in turn reduces the overall outgoings and ultimately produces a better net yield for the remaining house on a smaller lot.
"What’s a net yield? Ah yes, the gross yield is the gross rental divided by the purchase or sale price, whereas the net yield is the gross income less all outgoings such as rates, insurance, water, sewerage and property management divided by the purchase or sale price. 
"That is the true test of investment attractiveness. If the net yield is higher than other investment vehicles, then this would seem appealing," the valuation firm said. 
However, this does not consider the effect of debt servicing.
Allowing for an 80% lend, the debt servicing associated with a principal and interest loan whittles down the net yield pretty quickly.
It really only benefits the high net worth individual who needs no loan and has a lazy $500,000 or more to park in real estate while the share market has a few shivers and the bank term deposits are barely two per cent.
"The situation does become slightly more attractive where the gross and net yields for a block of flats or units are higher than a detached house or a single unit," the valuation firm stated. 
A good example is for a block of five units on one title in Casino which recently sold for $700,000 with a gross rental of $50,000 per annum. This translates to 7.14% gross which would be around 5.5% net yield after outgoings.
However, once again, that does not include the effect of debt servicing. So, for an investor relying on an 80% lend to purchase the property, there would be the high likelihood that there would be a shortfall to be met, i.e. the rent would not cover all outgoings and debt servicing.
The cashed up investor would be much better placed to take advantage of these opportunities.
"In summary, if you are hunting for yields, consider it from a long-term perspective and be prepared to cover some of the shortfall out of your own pocket if debt servicing is required," the valuation firm concluded.

Gross yields in Casino and Kyogle regional areas higher than expensive coastal properties: HTW residential

For the rural service towns of Casino (Richmond Valley Council area) and Kyogle (Kyogle Shire Council), the primary concern of most local buyers is the price point rather than location, location, location, according to the latest Herron Todd White (HTW) residential report. 
"Sure, there are well renovated older style or modern properties with all the bells and whistles within close proximity of the town centre, however the reality is that within both Casino and Kyogle, the radius from the town centre to the fringe of the urban development is well under three kilometres, so most town services available within a small country town are generally nearby," the HTW report said. 
"First home buyers, those looking to dip their toe into the property market, are really price conscious, particularly if they have a limited budget and are at the mercy of tighter lender criteria (hmmmm, but that might be changing in the near future methinks...)."
Fortunately, both Casino and Kyogle are, in comparison to other rural towns and villages of the Far North Coast or Northern Rivers region, are somewhat more affordable with opportunities still available within the sub $250,000 price bracket.
"Yes, they need a bit of work, but provide an opportunity for the industrious first home buyer to put their stamp on the renovation project," the valuation firm added. 
"The majority of properties within Casino and Kyogle linger within the $250,000 to $400,000 price range and are dotted throughout the townships, with the price point primarily affected by condition, presentation, degree of or lack of renovation and functionality (such as number of bedrooms, bathrooms and car accommodation).
"Properties in the upper market category can be generally found in the well-established estates which, interestingly, are further away from the town centre."
For Casino, this would include Gays Hill being approximately four kilometres south-west of Casino CBD.
"Here we find a mixture of recent, modern residential development and well established residential houses from the later 1980s to early 1990s with one feature in common... a larger than average size residential allotment (1,100 square metres).
"It’s a popular spot for up-graders, where sale prices have breached the $500,000 mark in recent years," the valuation firm said. 
The same can be said for the Mayfield Estate (approximately two kilometres north-east by road from Kyogle CBD) and the Geneva (a slightly further 2.5 kilometres west of Kyogle CBD) where some well-heeled properties have quietly punched through the $400,000 price bracket in a relatively tightly held area.
Most of these properties are generally well modernised or new build development with added features of pools, tidy landscaping or having the benefit of views.
There are a handful of residential properties close to town centres that have all the features and generally, for Casino and Kyogle, have been subject to extensive renovation work and include a pool, three-plus bedrooms and have a heritage character element.
"In summary, for rural towns such as Casino and Kyogle, the radius from the town centre is relatively small, so the key factor that tends to dictate all other things is the almighty dollar, so if you are looking to sell, pitch your promotion on a primary price point that persuades the particular people to ponder!"

The former property developer turned US President Donald Trump once considered opening a casino in Australia.
He was among the tenderers for the Darling Harbour Casino in 1986, partnering with the Queensland-based construction company Kern.
Five groups lodged tenders for the multi-million-dollar casino:
The Australian Federal Hotels and Sabemo group.
Malaysia's Genting Berhad, with Australia's Civil and Civic.
The US operator Harrah's, with Australia's Leighton and Pennant groups.
The US company Trump and Australia's Kern Corp.
HKMS, or the Hong Kong Macau Sydney consortium, backed by Dr Stanley Ho and a Hong Kong company, New World Enterprises, which owns developments in Kowloon.
The Government tender came afTer it refused to go through with a $610 million deal with the Hooker/Harrah's consortium after Cabinet was given adverse reports about individuals associated with both groups.
In mid-1987, on the eve of the casino decision, Trump indicated he didn't really care if he won the contract or not.
Trump told the New Jersey Casino Control Commission he was supposed to go to Sydney in early 1987 but "as the time got closer and closer, it sounded more and more less attractive".
"Eventually I decided it was just a long trip. So I don't know whether my enthusiasm level can be very high for that particular job.
"It's just a long, long trip away. I believe in very hands-on management," he told the commission, as reported in the SMH at the time.

Mr Packer, who owns 53 per cent of Crown, once described the development of the Sydney casino as his biggest priority.
"This is an extremely important day for Crown," said Mr Packer.
"It has taken us four years of constant effort to get to this point and now we can begin building our vision, to give Sydney one of the world's great luxury hotels. We will now work tirelessly to ensure Crown Sydney meets the very high expectations of the government and the people of this city."
Crown had originally targeted a late 2019 completion for the casino with luxury apartments but it is now early 2021 as the likely opening date.
Crown chairman Rob Rankin said excavation work would start shortly.

One of Australia's richest men, James Packer, wants to build the nation's tallest building next to his Melbourne casino.
The $1.5 billion hotel and apartment complex includes plans for a 90-level tower that will rise to 323 metres, eclipsing the nearby Australia 108-apartment tower at 319 metres that is under construction. 
Crown and its joint venture partner Schiavello Group have lodged plans for the Queensbridge Hotel Tower project, which includes a six-star hotel of 388 rooms and 708 apartments.
Crown's application has been received by Victoria's planning minister Richard Wynne who has recently taken a firm hand to curtail over-development of sites, including in the Southbank area around the Crown Casino.
