<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/draycon">Draycon Building</a> is nearing completion of Boutique Chevron Island, a 42-apartment development on the northern end of Chevron Island at 17–19 Parneno Street, with a limited-time offer of fully furnished apartments available.

Now more than 90 per cent complete, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/boutique-chevron-island-17-19-parneno-chevron-island-qld-4217">Boutique</a> has been shaped by one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held island addresses, where riverfront outlooks and walkable access to Surfers Paradise converge.

For Draycon Building Managing Director Howard Dabit, the appeal of the site was immediate.

“I knew it was a good site as soon as I saw it,” Dabit said.

“The position and location on the north end of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>, the way the river swirls around the site basically from the north to the east, it feels like the site is surrounded by the water. The height that we’ve got and the aspect looking north is beautiful. Eighty per cent of the apartments are looking north so they get that drenching sunlight coming in.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360922]

That northern orientation places the development within a stretch of Chevron Island defined by open river aspects and skyline views, while remaining embedded in the suburb’s established village setting.

Chevron Island has increasingly drawn owner-occupiers seeking centrality without the intensity of high-rise beachfront living. Positioned at the geographical centre of the Gold Coast, the island offers direct access to both the beach and key cultural infrastructure while retaining a neighbourhood-scale character.

Connected by bridge to Surfers Paradise, Chevron Island offers walkable access to beaches, riverfront parklands and a revitalised foreshore boulevard animated by walkers and cyclists throughout the day. The Pacific Ocean is only minutes away, reinforcing the suburb’s dual river-and-surf identity.

At the same time, Thomas Drive forms the spine of the island’s village life, delivering cafés, wine bars, casual dining and everyday services within easy reach. Independent grocers, wellness operators and neighbourhood retailers contribute to a community atmosphere that remains distinct from the vertical scale of the beachfront.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360915]

In the opposite direction, the Green Bridge links directly to HOTA – Home of the Arts – placing galleries, performance venues and parklands within walking distance. Weekly markets and major exhibitions draw visitors from across the region, while residents return to a quieter residential pocket at day’s end.

Public transport, including nearby bus routes and the G:link light rail corridor along the coastal spine, strengthens connectivity north and south. Griffith University, the Gold Coast University Hospital precinct and established private schools such as The Southport School are all within a short drive.

Ongoing investment across Surfers Paradise, HOTA and the broader Southport corridor has elevated amenity while preserving Chevron Island’s comparatively low-rise residential character. It is this balance, walkable village atmosphere paired with metropolitan-scale infrastructure, that continues to differentiate the suburb from higher-density beachfront precincts.

Boutique comprises just 42 residences, designed to maximise river and skyline outlooks within this tightly held island setting.

Boutique Chevron Island is slated for completion in April 2026, with prices starting from $1,220,000.

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> has secured planning approval for a $300 million residential development in Lindfield, marking the company’s second project on Sydney’s North Shore and its first on the Upper North Shore.

Located on Beaconsfield Parade and designed by DKO Architecture, the state significant development comprises three buildings of up to 10 storeys and will include 399 residences, including 59 affordable homes and 40 adaptable homes.

Residences will range in size from one, two and three bedrooms, with two-bedroom apartments accounting for over 60 per cent of the product make-up. Residents will have access to a broad suite of amenities, including a wellness area, indoor and outdoor recreational spaces, a pool, a gym, a community room and a golf simulator.

In line with Deicorp’s long-standing focus on creating transit-oriented communities, the project is located just 260 metres from the Lindfield Train Station, reinforcing its role in delivering well-connected housing close to established infrastructure, retail and local services.

The inclusion of affordable and adaptable housing supports greater diversity within the local market, while the mix of apartment types responds to demand from downsizers, young professionals and families seeking access to the Upper North Shore.

Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri OAM said the approval represents an important milestone for both the company and the suburb

“This approval allows us to deliver well-designed homes in a location that is already supported by strong transport and community infrastructure," Deiri said.

"Our focus is on creating places that integrate into their surroundings and provide long-term value for residents, and the broader Lindfield community. Being within walking distance of the station ensures this project supports sustainable growth in the right locations."

Across its portfolio, Deicorp currently has 4,703 apartments under construction, playing a leading role in shaping connected, liveable communities across Sydney.

Its expanding portfolio of Metro-linked developments includes Tallawong Village, <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> in Five Dock, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hyde-metropolitan-sydney-133-141-liverpool-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Hyde Metropolitan</a> in Sydney CBD, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/falcon-alexander-crows-nest-8-alexander-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Falcon &amp; Alexander</a> in Crows Nest and Showground Village, Castle Hill.

Deicorp purchased the Beaconsfield Paradise site last year. Construction is scheduled to commence in Q2 of 2026 and will be completed in 2029.

In a joint venture with The Trump Organization, Australia developer Altus Property Group has announced plans to bring a Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower to the Gold Coast, marking the first Trump-branded project in Australia.

"Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast is our first official project in Australia and reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering world-class luxury experiences in iconic locations around the world," Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, said.

"This development exemplifies the Trump brand’s dedication to quality, sophistication, and unmatched service, and we are thrilled to bring this vision to the vibrant Gold Coast community."

The 91-storey building, which will become the tallest in Australia at 335 metres, will feature a&nbsp;285-room luxury hotel bearing the trademark Trump logo. It will also include 272 luxury residential apartments, a three-level podium with an exclusive Beach Club, and over 3,400 sqm of premium commercial, retail, and dining space, revitalizing the central Surfers Paradise precinct.

“Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast will be a truly unique offering in the Australian market, bringing the prestige and allure of a world-class luxury brand,"&nbsp;Altus founder and chief executive David Young said.

"Altus Property Group is proud of its track record in delivering landmark developments across Australia, and our expertise ensures this project will be an outstanding success."

More than a century after the Corrimal Coke Works first opened in 1912, the industrial landmark that helped shape the suburb is being reinterpreted as a walkable residential neighbourhood, with Stage One of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-works-stage-one-27-railway-street-corrimal-nsw-2518">The Works</a> now underway at 27 Railway Street.

For 102 years, the site was central to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/corrimal-nsw-2518">Corrimal</a>’s economic and social identity before operations ceased in 2014. Rather than erasing that legacy, developer Legacy Property has embedded it into the masterplan, retaining and reinterpreting elements such as the iconic 1912 brick chimney and sections of the original C1 Coke Oven Battery, alongside the adaptive reuse of the former powerhouse building.

Stage One will introduce 181 apartments across low-rise buildings, offering predominantly two and three-bedroom residences with completion targeted for mid-2027. The scale and configuration reflect a deliberate focus on owner-occupiers, targeting those seeking a lower-maintenance home in a prime location within the northern suburbs of Wollongong.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359833]

Apartments have been designed to maximise natural light and cross-ventilation, with floor-to-ceiling glazing extending living areas onto generous balconies. Engineered timber flooring, induction cooktops and 900mm ovens in larger residences support everyday functionality, while two interior palettes allow buyers to tailor finishes to their preferences. The material selection draws on a restrained coastal language, intended to connect homes to their surroundings rather than compete with them.

The Works forms part of a broader 18-hectare masterplan that will ultimately deliver around 550 dwellings, new parks, and a heritage precinct celebrating the site’s past. More than seven hectares are dedicated to open space, including Southern Park and a Village Green with community gardens and recreation areas. The creek corridor is being rehabilitated with 150,000 native plantings, restoring biodiversity to the site and softening landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359841]

Positioned adjacent to Corrimal Station and within walking distance of Corrimal Town Centre, the precinct places daily essentials, rail connections and local retail within easy reach. Wollongong CBD, including the hospital, university and entertainment venues, sits approximately 6.5 kilometres to the south.

For buyers more familiar with North Wollongong, Corrimal offers a different proposition: a well-established coastal suburb framed by beaches to the east and the escarpment to the west, with a strong sense of local identity shaped in part by the former Coke Works. The Works seeks to reinforce that identity by creating a connected, walkable neighbourhood between coast and escarpment, rather than a standalone apartment complex.

Sustainability underpins the development approach. The Works is targeting Wollongong’s first 5-Star Green Star-rated community, with water-sensitive urban design, recycled materials and energy-efficient buildings integrated across the masterplan. For residents, these measures provide not only environmental benefits but also reduced operational costs and future resilience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359842]

With construction commenced and display materials available to view, prospective buyers can now engage more directly with the project’s vision, reviewing floorplans, material selections and the broader masterplan in detail. For many local homeowners weighing a move, the opportunity to experience how heritage, landscape and contemporary design intersect may help bridge the gap between familiarity and the next chapter.

As Stage One progresses toward its mid-2027 completion, The Works represents a significant chapter in Corrimal’s evolution, transforming a site that once powered local industry into a walkable residential precinct designed for its next generation of residents.

When it comes to developing in Melb​ourne's Bayside region, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lowe-living">Lowe Living</a> knows exactly what buyers want.

With a longstanding presence in the area and a string of sell-out projects, Lowe Living consistently delivers developments that are as sought-after as their predecessors.

Their latest instalment is in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-vic-3188">Hampton</a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-east-vic-3188">&nbsp;East,</a> the same postcode where they have previously delivered Hampton Hill and Oceano. The developer-builder recently commenced construction on its newest project,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marella-hampton-31-35-alicia-street-hampton-east-vic-3188">Marella</a>, a collection of 32 apartments just five minutes from the beach.

Site acquisition is paramount to success. Lowe Living rarely brings a building to market that isn’t within walking distance of essential amenities, whether it be the beach, a prominent retail strip, or a train station. Marella is no exception, located at its Alicia Street address, less than a kilometre from the retail heart of Hampton Street and Hampton Station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358495]

Equally important to Lowe Living is the architecture.

For Marella, they appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, who explains that the architectural vision was to create a contemporary reinterpretation of the Californian bungalow, a style that’s iconic to Hampton’s heritage.

"By borrowing, abstracting, and reinterpreting elements of this quintessential style, such as strong datum lines, articulated columns, exposed structures, and roof tiles, our design strikes a balance between modernity and familiarity," says Cera Stribley.

"This approach ensures that the development is not only visually appealing but also contextually sensitive, resonating with Hampton's existing architectural landscape."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358499]

The building features terracotta brick, soft cream masonry, and exposed metal detailing, giving it a tactile presence that is intended to weather gently over time.

Internally, the focus on lasting quality continues, with two and three-bedroom residences anchored by sculptural stone kitchen islands, natural light, and clearly defined transitions between living, dining, and outdoor spaces.

The layouts have been carefully designed. Open-plan zones extend to private balconies, with light-filled interiors and generous kitchen proportions, supported by Miele wall ovens, induction cooktops, and integrated fridge-freezers. These are not small apartments rebranded as luxury; they have been designed at scale, with ample storage, hotel-style entry access, and secure basement parking provided as standard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358492]

At the uppermost level, Marella’s Signature Collection penthouses offer city or bay views, large entertaining terraces (some with outdoor spas), and elevated finishes, including fully wrapped stone kitchen benches and a Liebherr wine fridge.

Flexible room arrangements allow for a fourth bedroom or secondary living space, sought-after by both empty nesters who want the space when family visits and families with older children.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358498]

A residents’ lounge on the ground floor reinforces the project’s small-community feel. With a fireplace, private dining area, and adjoining terrace, it’s one of several shared spaces that balance amenity with privacy and scale.

Construction has commenced, with completion expected in early 2027.

Prospective buyers had the opportunity to explore the apartment designs and gain insight into the cutting-edge amenities that will be available upon completion.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22753 project_image_fid=210668]

Situated on Gosford's Mann Street, the project offers one of the most desirable locations for apartment seekers across the entire Central Coast.

Acquired for $9.65 million in mid-2021, the amalgamated site will feature an impressive 18-level tower designed by Kann Finch, encompassing a total of 138 apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22753 project_image_fid=210676]

The two-bedroom floorplans, priced from $700,000, boast nearly 100 sqm of internal living space and are designed to maximise views across the Brisbane Water.

The curved terraces connect to the spacious internal living areas, which are complemented by well-appointed kitchen and dining spaces. These areas feature stone island benches, back-lit stone splashbacks, brushed brass Parisi tapware, and high-quality ILVE appliances.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22753 project_image_fid=210684]

The development will also include a street-level podium, housing several food and beverage establishments, adding vibrancy and convenience to residents' daily lives.

The Grand, Gosford apartment development achieves $25 million in sales after launch weekend

The Entrance, the picturesque tourist town located halfway between Newcastle and Sydney, is set for a rare new apartment development.

Sydney-based&nbsp;Bathla Group has unveiled grand plans for a major residential project on The Entrance Road.

The $102 million plans are set to transform 15 parcels of land at 9-33 The Entrance Road into a vibrant eight-tower community, which will take place across two stages.&nbsp;

The project, on a sprawling 19,294 sqm site, has been designed by architectural firms Embece and BVN, with the mixed-use proposal encompassing eight buildings, ranging from six to nine storeys.&nbsp;

Five of the buildings will be dedicated to residential purposes with one specifically designed to accommodate serviced apartments for a proposed hotel.

The plan consists of 308 residential apartments and 45 serviced apartments, offering a mix of 123 one-bedroom units, 155 two-bedroom units and&nbsp;129 three-bedroom units. There are also a number of four bedroom apartments.

The project also includes 11 food and retail premises on the lower floors.

A central aspect of the proposed development is the creation of a through-site link, aiming to establish a connected ground plane between the Clifford Street Roundabout to the southwest and the Entrance Road frontage to the north.

The through-site link will feature a landscaped design that preserves existing trees and vegetation, incorporating curved buffer planting for a meandering path that defines the site's character. Additionally, outdoor seating areas will be strategically placed, while decomposed granite pathways will be retained between existing trees, further enhancing the natural ambiance.

The development showcases a robust material palette with BVN taking inspiration from the site's proximity to the water.

"The podium, designed as a ribbon of textured masonry, draws inspiration from the warmth and movement of the silt and sand found at The Entrance," BVN said in their design report.

The buildings situated atop the podium continue the language of the base, with the continuity of masonry columns, expression of concrete slab edges, and textural elements in the screens.

"These upper-level structures adopt a more open and lightweight materiality and colour scheme to distinguish and articulate their presence. Glazed balustrades contribute to an open, inviting built form, while light-weight perforated screens provide privacy, solar protection, and uninterrupted views for the residents."

"Landscaped rooftops serve as a soft and natural overlay to the buildings, creating a harmonious integration with the surroundings."

The design approach for Buildings A, C, and E follows a tectonic style, employing vertical incisions to elongate the forms and curved corners to soften their appearance. These buildings will be predominantly white or shades of white, with battens, grooves, and privacy blades strategically incorporated to introduce texture, contrast, and unique interplay of light across the facades.

Buildings B and F will be located at the entry points to the site, adding an element of contrast and hierarchy to the overall precinct.

While they draw on similar materials as Buildings A, C, and E, they incorporate a greater variety of textures and colours.&nbsp;

Building D stands out as a unique structure within the complex, as it is the only building dedicated to serviced apartments. It also serves as the primary vehicular access point to the basement parking area.

In response to the changing lifestyle trends resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, most apartments have been designed to accommodate a study nook, providing residents with flexibility and space to work from home.

The orientation of the apartments has been carefully considered to maximise access to the views surrounding the site. Solid spandrels in the podium and perforated screens have been integrated to address privacy concerns while ensuring ample daylight and uninterrupted views for the residents.

By separating the built form into distinct buildings, the design maximises cross ventilation, offering an increased number of corner apartments and two-story units with access to ventilated skylights.&nbsp;

The landscape design of the development pays homage to the unique character of The Entrance, aiming to create inviting and vibrant spaces for both residents and visitors to enjoy the outdoors. The ground floor features retail spill-out areas that offer connections and views across Tuggerah Lake. New street tree planting provides shade to the plaza and building awnings, further enhancing the pedestrian experience.

On level two, residents will have access to communal open spaces that provide opportunities for play, social gatherings, and relaxation amidst lush gardens. There'll also be rooftop communal space provided, with seating options, outdoor dining, yoga and exercise space, and even a communal kitchen garden.

Sydney property agency Highland has been appointed as the lead selling agent for the $375 million luxury apartment project, Archibald by ALAND.

The full-service real estate company has more than 40 projects currently in market along the eastern seaboard from southern Sydney to the Gold Coast, with this week announcing it will sell Archibald's one, two and three-bedroom apartments, along with the three and four-bedroom penthouses.

Located at 108 Donnison Street, Gosford, Archibald is a dual tower development which will deliver 199 residences in the West Tower and 124 in the East Tower.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208142]

Highland selling agent Clint Willoughby said Archibald offers a rare balance of affordable coastal and cosmopolitan living in one of the Central Coast’s most connected locations.

“The Highland team is thrilled to be appointed to sell Archibald and we are very eager to show prospective buyers all this project has to offer, from its unrivalled amenity to stunning layouts and finishes,” said Willoughby.

“Being situated where it is, Archibald merges resort living with connectivity, providing the sought after blend of relaxation and recreation among buyers.”

Offering unrivalled amenity that the Central Coast has never seen, Archibald is home to an exclusive Skybar and Lounge on level 28 and a pub on the ground floor with dining.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208143]

Residents will have full access to hotel-managed amenities such as the lobby café, resort style pool and swim-up pool bar, which have been designed with relaxation and restoration in mind.

Georgia Scanlon is also selling Archibald, which she says will bring a new level of luxury living to the Central Coast with each residence designed to appeal to a range of buyers.

“Archibald appeals to local buyers, Sydney downsizers looking for the coastal lifestyle, and investors looking to capitalise on the growth potential of this thriving region,” said Scanlon.

“Now an extension of Greater Sydney, it’s situated in one of the Central Coast’s most connected locations, with a full range of business, retail, dining, cultural, entertainment, transport, and recreational activities, essentially at your doorstep.”

Designed by Place Studio, Archibald will feature&nbsp;striking sail-like curves, echoing the boats on the nearby Brisbane Waters, in addition to uninterrupted views of Gosford’s skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208153]

Prices for the apartments start from $450,000 through to $1.6 million, with the penthouses priced on application.&nbsp;&nbsp;

ALAND CEO, George Tadrosse said Highland were the obvious choice for sales agents for Archibald.&nbsp;

“Highland was an obvious choice to lead the sales and marketing program for Archibald due to its credibility as one of Sydney’s leading agencies and its extensive network of buyers,” Tadrosse said.

Completion of Archibald is estimated for the third quarter of 2024.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=134670]

Highland appointed to sell Archibald by ALAND apartments

Leading Sydney developer ALAND is set to bring a new level of sophistication to the Central Coast with its plans to build Archibald Skybar and Lounge, the region's highest bar.

The bar will be located on the 28th floor of a premium hotel and luxury residential complex, offering a 270-degree view of Brisbane Waters. With a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere, the bar will accommodate up to 400 patrons and include a cocktail lounge, function space, and a separate bar and terrace.

According to Ryan Lane, ALAND's Head of Development, the Archibald Skybar and Lounge will provide a unique and untapped experience for the Central Coast.

“When we set out to investigate the viability of the Skybar we discovered that something like this would be extremely unique for the area. There simply isn't anyone with an offering like this on the coast. There are obviously some comparable offerings around Sydney or the Gold Coast, but what we were really careful not to do was repeat something that's been done in another location.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208142]

He said ALAND worked closely with established designers and architects to come up with a bespoke concept which is tailored for the Central Coast market.

“It's designed to be very approachable and welcoming, but not too over the top. However, it will still provide a point of difference for entertainment that the Central Coast doesn't currently have,” Lane added.

“There are pub and restaurant offerings, but the Skybar is going to give locals a venue they can really celebrate. You can have birthday parties, weddings and any number of functions at the rear of the space where you can hire out the whole venue.”

Situated at 108 Donnison Street in the heart of Gosford's CBD, the Archibald Skybar and Lounge is close to Central Coast Stadium and other popular venues such as Hotel Gosford, Railway Hotel, and Union Hotel.

Once completed in the third quarter of 2024, Archibald will be a bustling hub of activity, with 323 apartments and 130 hotel rooms housing an estimated total of 850 people. In addition, the new Archibald Skybar and Lounge is set to attract locals looking for a stylish and sophisticated social venue.

Lane said the future hospitality operators of both the Archibald Skybar and Lounge and hotel have yet to be announced, however, the group is confident that the results of a rigorous tender process will lead to the selection of top industry players.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208151]

“With regards to the Hotel, we’re very well progressed with conversations after having gone through a meticulous tender process with significant response from some pretty prominent brands. In the past, with similar projects, we might have had a handful of qualified interested parties but when you have more than 
10 significantly interested parties - as we have experience with Archibald - it shows the strength of the opportunity in the Gosford market,” he said.

Despite the yet-to-be-confirmed brands of the venues, many confident residential buyers have already secured their new homes at Archibald.

The complex will include two buildings housing one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, as well as three and four-bedroom penthouses, all with access to resort-style facilities and breathtaking views of Brisbane Waters and the city skyline.

Approximately 100 apartments have already been sold off the plan, with prices starting at $475,000 for a one-bedroom property.

ALAND to elevate Gosford’s drinking and dining experience with Archibald Skybar and Lounge

Sydney developers ALAND has seen strong interest in its Gosford development, Archibald by ALAND, with one-third of its apartments already sold.

The project, valued at $375 million, will include 323 residential units, 130 hotel rooms, food and beverage options, a pub, and a sky bar and lounge. Less than three months after its launch, 104 apartments worth over $80 million have been purchased, including $20 million prior to the launch.

Buyers include keen investors and downsizers, with local first-home buyers attracted by government schemes and owner-occupiers drawn to the project's affordability.

Designed by Place Studio, Archibald by ALAND is set to become a landmark in the area and a sought-after destination on the Central Coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208142]

Apartment prices range from $475,000 for a one-bedroom to $835,000 for a three-bedroom. Each unit features functional and spacious floorplans, inspired by the Australian coastline, with balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of Brisbane Waters and the city skyline.

ALAND CEO George Tadrosse said that the project’s unparalleled offering is also a major drawcard for eager investors.

“Archibald is the only project of its kind in Gosford, the level of amenity is unmatched, and residents will get that hotel lifestyle with access to resort-style facilities and beaches at their doorstep,” he said.

“We’re seeing many investors taking advantage of the growing population and new economic ventures in education, retail and health innovation in the area. It’s no surprise that investors have been quick to recognise this unique offering and its potential."

“With the NSW Government’s recent announcement to invest more than $23 Million in the Central Coast region, committing to a faster rail at Wyong and new university campus at Gosford, we expect another influx of interest across all buyer types,” said Tadrosse.

Project Sales Director Georgia Scanlon said ALAND’s sales to date are indicative of the demand of the Central Coast market, observing that lifestyle continues to hold strong appeal.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134670 project_image_fid=208143]

“The Central Coast market continues to perform despite broader market sentiment, offering buyers an affordable coastal lifestyle that is hard to match anywhere else in regional NSW locations. The Northconnex has allowed the coast to become a part of greater Sydney in the same way Western Sydney has.”

“We’re seeing a lot of local downsizers come from The Hills and Northern Beaches along with first home buyers who are out priced in Sydney. Essentially everyone is chasing a lifestyle only a stone’s throw from Sydney and the CBD,” added Scanlon.

Investors and downsizers flock to Archibald by ALAND

Construction has commenced on a six star luxury development on the Central Coast.&nbsp;

The $250 million master planned estate, Rumbalara Residences, is the work of Australian private investment group Alceon, in collaboration with builders Deicorp and architects Marchese Partners.&nbsp;

Situated on the highest point of Gosford, offering views stretching over Brisbane Waters, the Marchese-designed residences offer varying one, two and three-bedroom floor plans with 188 apartments set to be spread out across the four buildings.&nbsp;

Ranging in size from 27 sqm to 62 sqm, buyers have the option to select between treehouses or townhouse, with inclusions such as fireplaces and Sub Zero Wolf appliances.&nbsp;

The 2.2-hectare resort-style estate has already been inundated with interest from Sydney buyers including downsizers and first home buyers, with Alceon’s Development Director, Todd Campling saying the initial launch period received more than 1200 enquiries in just a few weeks.

“There’s not many other opportunities where you can secure a home starting at $580,000 with access to such an enormous amount of world class amenities,” he added.

Leading construction experts, Deicorp have been appointed to build the project, with the group the first in New South Wales to achieve the coveted iCART rating for trustworthiness under the NSW Building Commission’s reforms.

A figure eight pool takes pride of place in the centre of more than 4,000 sqm of manicured resort-like grounds while residents also have access to a 1,000 sqm Club House, which is home to a suite of amenities including an on-site concierge, private cinema, dining room, gym, day spa, work from home hot desk space and virtual golf simulator.

“The quality of the build signals a new era for development on the Central Coast and it’s no surprise that the majority of interest is coming from Sydney at the moment - mainly from home owners on the North Shore, Northern Beaches, Hills Shire, Inner West and Sutherland Shire looking to downsize,” Campling said.&nbsp;

And with the launch of stage one achieving such success, the group has brought on stage two earlier than expected to meet the demand.&nbsp;

“We’re finding that people are willing to pay a premium price and act with urgency due to the unique one-of-a-kind style and design of the project,” Campling said.&nbsp;

“Ninety percent of our buyers are owner occupiers and they’re buying in for the lifestyle the development offers,” he added.&nbsp;

Completion on the first stage of the project, including the pool and Club House is slated for completion for 2024.&nbsp;
