Mark and Roy Makari are expanding their presence in Sydney’s South West with a second major proposal for Leppington, this time envisioning a 900-dwelling mixed-use development just 850 metres from their previously lodged tower trio on Fifth Avenue.

The latest application seeks approval for a multi-building project at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/230-rickard-road-leppington-nsw-2179">230 Rickard Road, Leppington</a>. The proposal seeks to establish a new focal point for the precinct through a high-density, transit-oriented development supported by diverse land uses.

According to the Scoping Report prepared for the Department of Planning, the scheme includes around 900 apartments across multiple towers, including 135 dwellings designated for affordable housing. A mix of market and subsidised apartments will be supported by ground-level activation through retail and office space, a childcare centre, and a hotel, forming a comprehensive urban precinct.

<img alt="Mixed Use Development 230 Rickard Rd Leppington" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="34797362-f3dc-4d84-8235-2657fc5f3bde" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Plan.png?VersionId=Uzckrz9tUpDQl5lX1_WMhjnv16bsr8wG" />

The Design Report by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/studiosc-0">Studio SC</a> notes that the project “intends to deliver a high-quality, high-density built form that supports the vision for the Leppington Town Centre, integrating mixed-use outcomes and public domain upgrades.” The development is expected to be delivered in stages, although a precise timeline is yet to be confirmed.

The project will be assessed through a future State Significant Development Application, with the Scoping Report indicating the team will seek design excellence via a competitive process or through an expert design review panel. Early massing diagrams suggest a series of mid- to high-rise buildings framing a central landscaped spine, with emphasis on pedestrian permeability and public space.

The planning documentation flags a strong sustainability agenda, stating that the development will “respond to the urban heat island effect, incorporate water sensitive urban design, and prioritise active transport”.

The proposal follows in the footsteps of the Makaris’ nearby Fifth Avenue site, where they’ve submitted plans for three towers comprising nearly 500 apartments, with 10 per cent dedicated to affordable housing. That project features commercial podiums, a childcare centre, and a new public park that would occupy more than a third of the site.

Both developments are situated within walking distance of Leppington Train Station and fall under strategic precinct plans promoting higher density housing. The town centre is undergoing substantial transformation, driven by state government planning reforms aimed at fast-tracking housing delivery.

Together, the two projects represent a combined ambition of nearly 1,400 new homes across just under two kilometres of central Leppington.

First look: 900-home mixed-use precinct planned for Leppington

Leading Australian integrated property development group, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/aqualand-australia">Aqualand</a>, has released the signature penthouses crowning its landmark AURA by Aqualand precinct at 168 Walker Street in North Sydney, unveiling Il Magnate and La Divina as the largest and most luxurious penthouses in the suburb.

With prices anticipated to commence from $15 million, and each accompanied by a new Porsche Carrera 911 valued at over $500K, the residences mark the culmination of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/aura-by-aqualand-north-sydney-168-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">AURA by Aqualand</a>’s decade-long journey and the beginning of its final sales chapter. 
&nbsp; 
Their release follows more than $850 million in record-breaking residential sales and the building’s completion and occupation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=358868]

The Richards Stanisich-designed 284 sqm Il Magnate and 224 sqm La Divina penthouses, collectively known as The Icons of AURA, are conceived as grand luxury homes rather than apartments, with expansive proportions, elevated materiality and curated identities that reflect their status as one-off residences.&nbsp;

Il Magnate features a grande master suite, complete with substantial walk-in dressing area and ensuite, three other bedrooms, second ensuite and another bathroom, powder room, open plan kitchen, scullery, substantial dining area and generous living room divided by a feature fireplace, and a multifunction wintergarden, which is ideal for a study and adjoining office breakout space. &nbsp;

Meanwhile, the La Divina residence offers the same amenities, sans the powder room, on a slightly smaller alternate floor plan configuration.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=358863]

Each occupies half of AURA by Aqualand’s topmost 28th level, comes with four secure car spaces and pairs sweeping Sydney Harbour panoramas with large-scale living spaces, refined detailing and a level of craftsmanship and amenity rarely offered in the North Shore market.&nbsp;

Penthouse residents will also receive Etymon’s ‘Black Key’ private concierge and lifestyle management service, an invitation only offering providing the ultimate in bespoke personalisation, including a range of everyday discrete services, from dinner party management, grocery deliveries, pet feeding or plants watered, dinners, snacks and coffee deliveries, event ticket sourcing, right up to organising travel visas and international airfares. Rarely seen in Australian properties, the service provides residents the benefits of living in a world-class luxury hotel-style home, akin to The Ritz, or the Waldorf Astoria.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=358862]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/richards-stanisich">Richards Stanisich</a>’s Director, Kirsten Stanisich, said the studio set out to craft residences that feel profoundly considered, contemporary and deeply connected to their setting.

“From the outset, we approached these penthouses with the sensibility of a grand Parisian residence - generous in scale, elegant in proportion and designed to feel more like a handcrafted home than an apartment," Stanisich said.

“Their elevated position and sweeping harbour outlook informed every decision, creating a rare connection between urban sophistication and natural calm. We shaped each space with expressive materiality, sculptural forms and bespoke detailing that invite touch and interaction.&nbsp;

“The result is a pair of residences defined by volume, light and an inherent softness - refined, flexible and deeply personal. These penthouses are unlike anything else in North Sydney, offering a sanctuary of true luxury framed by some of the city’s most remarkable views.”

For Aqualand’s Head of Sales &amp; Marketing, Alex Adams, the collaboration with Porsche underscores the shared ethos behind the residences.

“Aqualand’s collaboration with Porsche underpins both brand’s sharing an obsession with craftsmanship, design excellence, and enduring value," Adams said.

“Our penthouses are created for those who appreciate the finer details and expect the extraordinary at every touchpoint. Including a Porsche simply extends that experience beyond the residence - it’s a continuation of the lifestyle our buyers already live.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=292862]

Aqualand’s Managing Director, Jin Lin, said the penthouses represent both the pinnacle of AURA by Aqualand and an important design benchmark for the company’s future pipeline.&nbsp;

“These stunning penthouses reflect the purest expression of Aqualand’s design ambition," Lin said.

“The unparalleled design intent makes them not only the glistening crown of AURA by Aqualand, but the crown of North Sydney itself. They’re essentially a thank you gift to a burgeoning community that deserves this level of quality and architectural consideration.&nbsp;

“We’re leveraging the unrivalled standard set here as the foundation for what comes next, including our upcoming Anderson Street, Chatswood; 15 Blue Street, North Sydney and Central Barangaroo projects. Purchasers of these penthouses will essentially be living inside the blueprint of Aqualand’s future.

“These landmark residences demonstrate how far North Sydney has evolved and the strength of demand for highly curated, bespoke luxury homes. They’re more than penthouses, they’re legacy residences.&nbsp;

“With AURA by Aqualand now a thriving new precinct with residents well and truly settled, and our in-house world-class lifestyle amenity activated, Il Magnate and La Divina represent a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure an extraordinary piece of North Sydney’s future.”

Aqualand launches North Sydney penthouses with free Porsche Carrera 911

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/bokarina-qld-4575">Bokarina</a> Beach has quietly evolved into one of the Sunshine Coast’s most complete coastal lifestyle precincts, defined not just by proximity to the ocean, but by how residential living, local retail and everyday amenity are stitched together.&nbsp;

Gardner Vaughan Group’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/bask-bokarina-38-bokarina-boulevard-bokarina-qld-4575">Bask Bokarina</a> now represents the final residential chapter in that transformation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333360]

Over recent years, the Bokarina Beach precinct has taken shape as a walkable, community-oriented neighbourhood, anchored by beachfront access, Lake Kawana to the west, and a growing mix of cafés, specialty retail and public open space.&nbsp;

With Zinc Bokarina already delivered next door by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gardner-vaughan-group">Gardner Vaughan Group</a> (GVG), Bask is the last opportunity to buy a brand new apartment within the precinct, effectively rounding out a fully formed coastal village.

GVG has positioned Bask to strengthen that lifestyle framework. Nine ground-floor retail spaces are planned beneath the residences, extending Bokarina Boulevard’s existing activity and reinforcing the area’s everyday convenience, from casual dining and coffee to local services, within a short walk of the beach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333359]

The residential component comprises 135 apartments across two buildings, Mydas and Caretta, with a clear shift toward larger three- and four-bedroom layouts and penthouses. That mix reflects a maturing buyer profile in Bokarina, where demand is increasingly led by owner-occupiers and active downsizers seeking space, permanence, and connection to place rather than short-term coastal accommodation.

Design and amenity have followed the same logic. Residents will have access to a heated plunge pool, gym, private dining room with a full kitchen, landscaped communal gardens with barbecues and a firepit, and a shared herb and vegetable garden, facilities intended to support daily use rather than resort-style turnover. Pet-friendly features, including a dog wash bay, acknowledge both buyer expectations and the area’s dog-friendly beach, located around 250 metres from the site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333366]

“Bokarina has become one of the Sunshine Coast’s most desirable beachside communities, and Bask represents the very last chance to buy new in this location,” GVG Director Sam Gardner said.&nbsp;

“Our focus has been to create spacious, functional apartments that meet the needs of locals who want to downsize without compromise, as well as those seeking a full-time coastal retreat.”

Positioned between the Pacific Ocean and Lake Kawana, Bask apartments have been oriented to capture outlooks toward the water or the Glass House Mountains, reinforcing the project’s connection to its natural surroundings. With parks, beachfront paths, hospitals, retail and public transport already in place, Bask arrives at a point where the broader precinct is no longer emerging, but established.

Construction is expected to complete in Q3 this year, with apartments ready to move into this Spring.

Bask to complete Bokarina’s Sunshine Coast lifestyle precinct as final apartments are released

Property development giant <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/avid-property-group">AVID Property Group</a> is approaching completion, and sell-out, of its Surry Hills apartment development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-rathbone-23-47-flinders-street-surry-hills-nsw-2010">The Rathbone</a>.

The Flinders St project has sold well over half of its 32 apartments, which will sit above two retail spaces.

Now hitting the market are the final 14 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, which start from $1.15 million. AVID is targeting a mid-2026 completion.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5947 project_image_fid=51208]

AVID General Manager New South Wales Danny Boubli said as more apartments are introduced to increase housing options in inner-city areas, homebuyers are searching for a &nbsp;sense of belonging in addition to location, convenience and value.&nbsp;

“There are very few opportunities for new developments in Surry Hills, and since acquiring the site, we’ve even seen one early purchaser merge two apartments plans together, reflecting the demand for a spacious, premium offering in a prime location,” Boubli said.&nbsp;

“Demand has been strong since we launched to market – we don’t see these final apartments staying on the market for long.”&nbsp;

Architectural firm Studio SC has designed the building which pays homage to the former 1900s Rathbone Terraces that once sat on the 990 sqm island site.

Boubil said the team has made every effort to create "truly liveable apartments", through&nbsp;functional floor plans, security, storage, and the inclusion of quality fittings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5947 project_image_fid=51207]

&nbsp;

Sustainable design has also been implemented throughout the development, with natural light flooding each apartment, ventilation throughout, extensive landscaping and where possible, materials with a high level of recycled content and low volatile organic compound paints have been used. &nbsp;

Apartments range in size from 57 sqm for the one-bedrooms to the large-scale 165 sqm three-beds which are priced at $2,575,000.

AVID launches final apartments at The Rathbone, Surry Hills

A wave of investment, renewal and precinct growth continues to shape the northern edge of Macquarie Park, where daily life is supported by a rare combination of university activity, corporate employment, major retail, and expansive green corridors. It’s this convergence of amenity and connectivity underpins the setting for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/urban-property-group">Urban Property Group</a>’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/la-vera-94-talavera-road-macquarie-park-nsw-2113">La Vera</a>, which has now topped out and is tracking toward completion in mid-2026.

Within this pocket of the precinct, residents move easily between the area’s key anchors. Macquarie Centre, home to more than 360 retailers, fresh food offerings, dining and entertainment, sits at the heart of local convenience and functions as a major transport interchange. The Metro, T1 rail line and extensive bus network place much of Sydney within quick reach, while surrounding arterial links support direct access to neighbouring districts.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134951 project_image_fid=5829]

Green space remains a defining feature of the immediate environment. Lane Cove National Park stretches along the northern boundary of the precinct, offering bushland trails, cycling routes and quiet riverfront pockets. Shrimptons Creek and the campus grounds of Macquarie University extend these recreational networks, softening the urban setting and creating a daily connection to nature that informs the project’s architectural response.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">Cox Architecture</a> have shaped La Vera around these contrasts. The building’s northern elevation adopts an organic, curvilinear form that mirrors the natural topography of the national park. Three sculpted forms soften the tower’s profile and encourage a stronger transition between indoor living areas, balconies and the broader landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134951 project_image_fid=223737]

Cox Director Felipe Miranda says the building’s outlook played a central role in the design process.

“The vision for the project was to conceive a building that adopted an organic and curvilinear form to the northern portion that faces the Lane Cove National Park… The residents that reside in the northern portion of the building benefit by having beautifully crafted curved balconies that speak to the natural context and heighten the relationship of their internal living spaces to the external balconies,” Felipe Miranda of Cox Architecture said.

Toward the city-facing side, the design shifts to a more urban expression. A gridded facade and extensive glazing capture CBD views, creating a dual strategy that blends ecological outlooks with metropolitan orientation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134951 project_image_fid=5827]

La Vera delivers 169 residences across one- to four-bedroom layouts, reflecting the needs of young families, downsizers, first-home buyers and investors seeking long-term certainty within a high-amenity location. From the project, residents can walk to Macquarie University, Macquarie Hospital and nearby corporate offices, reach national park trails within minutes, and enjoy retail and dining without relying on a car.

The project is delivered by Urban Property Group, a 4.5-star iCIRT-rated developer-builder with more than three decades of experience. The company has become a leader in adopting 10-Year Latent Defects Insurance (LDI), first introduced on its Parq Bexley development and now embedded into its pipeline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134951 project_image_fid=223727]

La Vera is the first development in Macquarie Park approved to offer this 10-year LDI policy, adding another layer of protection for purchasers and reinforcing the transparency of the construction process.

Urban Property Group CEO Patrick Elias says this assurance has become increasingly important for buyers navigating the off-the-plan market.

“Consumers are a lot more weary and a lot more concerned in buying off the plan than they ever have been… Having LDI is a tool to portray the confidence that we have in our product, and a confidence we want buyers to share,” Urban Property Group CEO Patrick Elias said.

Urban Property Group's in-house construction team is forecasting a mid-2026 completion, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/home789">HOME789</a> appointed as the project marketer.

With the NSW Government raising the threshold for first home buyer stamp duty exemptions, both buyers and developers are reaping the rewards.&nbsp;

First home buyers now pay no stamp duty on properties up to $800,000, considerably higher than the previous $650,000 cap, bringing in a new wave of buyers for developers, who have been dealt a difficult hand in recent times with rising interest rates and inflation keeping buyers out of the market.&nbsp;

Australian private investment group Alceon has benefitted from the stamp duty changes, experiencing a surge of interest from young buyers at their $250 million <a href="/developments/gosford-nsw-2250">Gosford apartment development</a>, Rumbalara Residences.

Just six weeks after the change in stamp duty, the masterplanned community has seen more than seven times the enquiries, specifically from first home buyers, resulting in $20 million worth of stock being sold.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of Rumbalara Residences" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2c53294d-7d83-4b9c-b452-fd4250d18ce8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/RUM_S01_EXT_Blk%20B_Balcony_5k.jpg?VersionId=JT_cUFiqaw1TUB5buxjbBpI4j1KIeDPb" />

Rumbalara’s Development Director Todd Campling said they’ve seen a rush of inquiries on their two-bedroom apartments which are priced from $780,000.

Construction commenced at the&nbsp;six star luxury development in September last year with iCIRT-rated builders Deicorp.

Offering stretching views over Brisbane Waters, Rumbalara is situated on the highest point of Gosford. With 188 apartments set to be spread across four buildings, the Marchese-designed residences offer a variety of one, two and three-bedroom floorplans, ranging in size from 27 sqm through to 62 sqm.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of Rumbalara Residences" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0cd97aa0-a4fd-4036-818b-bb4735db745d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/RUM_S11_INT_Blk_B%20501_Looking%20Out_5k.jpg?VersionId=55MnDrxKVUElYFs0fLnQ.cgCeu1THdpx" />

Buyers have the option to select between treehouses or townhouses, with inclusions such as fireplaces and Sub-Zero Wolf appliances.&nbsp;

The initial launch period of Rumbalara saw more than 1200 enquires in just a few weeks, with Sydney buyers looking for their own slice of paradise, at an affordable cost.&nbsp;

With stage one being such a resounding success, the developers brought upon stage two earlier than expected to meet the growing demand.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of Rumbalara Residences" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e0d0ff0b-b564-4f17-8918-aad49095a79e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/OUR104_Rumbalara_S090_GolfSim_A.jpg?VersionId=WHnNYZ1NsfCWFwzYm5exYfi3AyfCrWjw" />

It's not just the price point bringing in buyers. The extensive suite of amenity is another driving force behind the strong sale numbers.&nbsp;

“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,” Campling previously said.&nbsp;

More than 4,000 sqm of manicured resort-like grounds will surround the residences, with a figure eight pool taking pride of place. A 1,000 sqm Club House will home many of the exclusive amenities, including an on-site concierge,&nbsp;private cinema, dining room, gym, day spa, work from home hot desk space and virtual golf simulator.

Stage one of the Gosford development, which includes the Club House and pool, is slated for 2024.

The coastal area of the Central Coast is experiencing a surge in both private and government investment, as its potential for growth becomes increasingly apparent.

Property development and building company&nbsp;JMGM are seeking to build on the strong infrastructure pipeline surrounding the Central Coast, and particularly the Gosford area, with their newest mixed-use development, Horizon.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101204 project_image_fid=162046]

Comprising 182 apartments across 19 levels, Horizon boasts spacious interiors, crafted to create an aesthetically pleasing environment while providing views of the surrounding area.

Designed by Lutolli Architects + Partners, each living space extending to an expansive balcony, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101204 project_image_fid=162051]

The apartments sit above a 2,500 sqm retail space, providing residents with urban-styled eateries, grocers and cafes just steps from their door.&nbsp;

Residents will also benefit from an outdoor pool and lounges, as well as a Swedish-inspired sauna.&nbsp;

Beyond the allure of Horizon, the location itself offers excellent connectivity. The northern areas of Sydney are just a short drive down the M1, and the city is accessible by train from Gosford Station in under 90 minutes.

The luxury waterfront development Azure is nearing completion, with construction set to conclude in the last quarter of this year.

Developed and built by renowned developer/builder DASCO, Azure offers a collection of 39 oversized apartments.

Situated on the exclusive Point Frederick peninsula, the Central Coast's waterfront sanctuary has attracted buyers seeking a laidback luxury lifestyle that's just over an hours drive from both Sydney and Newcastle, with Azure providing residents with a front-row seat to the views of Brisbane Water.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106726 project_image_fid=194846]

Azure's prime location strikes the perfect balance between tranquility and accessibility. Situated in proximity to the Central Coast Stadium and public transport options, residents can easily enjoy the region's attractions and have convenient connections to neighbouring cities.

Highlighting just how sought after the project has been, George Brand Real Estate and&nbsp;Whome Group who are marketing the project, have sold over 92 per cent of the apartments so far.

DASCO engaged PRODOC Architects to design Azure, which has been crafted with expansive proportions and high quality finishes.&nbsp;

Residents can indulge in resort-style facilities, including an outdoor pool, a shady gazebo, landscaped alfresco areas and a fully equipped gym.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106726 project_image_fid=194849]

Azure also incorporates the latest technological advancements, with the apartments featuring smart home automation, allowing homeowners to control various aspects of their living spaces effortlessly. From the comfort of their own apartments, residents can operate the ducted air-conditioning, remotely control the roller blinds, and enjoy the energy-efficient LED downlights and light strips.

Residents will benefit from video security intercom and full access control, while solar panels are set to power the common area lighting, contributing to an environmentally friendly and sustainable living environment.&nbsp;

All the two and four-bedroom apartments have been sold in Azure, with just 133 sqm, three-bedroom floorplans remaining, priced from&nbsp;$1.16 million.

TQM Group and ACE Property Development Group are set to present their upcoming project The Grand at an exclusive sales launch event.&nbsp;

The event will take place on Saturday April 29 from 12 pm to 4 pm at the Lyons Den Gosford, just up the road from where The Grand is located on Mann Street.&nbsp;

Buyers will be able to discover the design of the apartments, as well as get an idea behind the state-of-the-art amenities that will be on offer once the build is completed.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22753 project_image_fid=210669]

Food and drink will be served as buyers have the chance to speak to the team of agents and in-house experts who will be on hand to answer any questions.&nbsp;

Gosford's Mann Street is one of the most ideally located spots for apartment seekers arguably across the whole of the Central Coast.

It's a stones throw from Central Coast Stadium, the Central Coast Leagues Club and its affiliated park, and the Drifters Wharf and accompanying Brisbane Water. Pair that with an array of coffee shops, retail and restaurants, there's no better spot to be in the gateway to the Central Coast.

The&nbsp;amalgamated site was secured for $9.65 million in mid-2021 and is set to comprise&nbsp;138 apartments across an 18-level Kann Finch-designed tower.&nbsp;

The two-bedroom floorplans are priced from $700,000, spanning nearly 100 sqm of internal living space, with each oriented to take in the impressive views on offer at The Grand.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22753 project_image_fid=210685]

The bowed terraces seamlessly connect to the vast internal living areas, which adjoin to kitted out kitchen and dining rooms, featuring stone island benches, back-lit stone splash backs, brushed brass Parisi tap ware and ILVE appliances.&nbsp;

A street level podium will house a number of food and beverage tenancies, while a resident's infinity pool will crown the podium levels, along with a landscaped garden by Site Image Landscape Architects.

TQM will handle the construction of the project, which is slated for completion in 2025.&nbsp;

Interested buyers can register for the event by <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-grand-public-launch-tickets-594259856227">clicking here</a>.
