Castle Hill’s booming development market is set for another boost, with builder-developer Buildex proposing a new mid-rise apartment building near Castle Towers.

Buildex has submitted plans to The Hills Shire Council for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/197-old-northern-road-castle-hill-nsw-2154">nine-storey building comprising 57 apartments</a> on Old Northern Road. The company acquired two adjoining sites earlier this year, totalling more than 2,683 sqm.

Texco Design has prepared the scheme, which includes five one-bed plus study apartments, 37 two-bedrooms, and 15 three-bedrooms.

Castle Hill has become a hotspot for developers in recent years, undergoing significant transformation driven by the opening of the Hills Showground Precinct to development and the introduction of two metro stations servicing the suburb.

Developers including Deicorp and Kassis Homes have already completed projects, and are progressing future developments, while Meriton, Arada, and Ellipse are currently delivering new projects in the rapidly evolving area.

Gold Coast developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/immerse-projects">Immerse Projects</a>&nbsp;has unveiled what it intends to deliver at its recently acquired Toowong site, its debut apartment development in Brisbane.

Immerse, founded by John Kearney who is also the founder of regarded construction company Greyburn, secured the prime Sylvan Road site <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/first-look-immerse-projects-moves-into-brisbane-apartment-market-with-toowong-site-acquisition">earlier this year</a>, in an area which has historical significance to Kearney who&nbsp;studied at the nearby University of Queensland.

"It feels like a full circle moment," Kearney told&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/" target="">Apartments.com.au</a>.&nbsp;

“I spent many nights at the Regatta Hotel just down the road, as have most people in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/brisbane-qld" target="">Brisbane</a>. It’s one of the city’s most well-known hotels, and with several cafes, restaurants, and a CityCat stop nearby, it’s become an even more attractive place to live.”

He is planning a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/22-24-sylvan-road-toowong-qld-4066">15-storey project with 88 apartments</a> above an activated ground plane with a shop and hospitality spaces.

<img alt="Toowong podium" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c350436b-9d64-46cc-ab6f-defc009e1b65" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/podium_0.png?VersionId=zt7A0_14M62TkZ61YHnGmEck9KM9HqDA" />

The architecture, led by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, presents a tower massing that responds to the area's evolving mid-rise context. The scheme incorporates podium and rooftop communal spaces, while the commercial elements aim to activate the Sylvan Road frontage and enhance the site's interface with the adjacent parkland.&nbsp;

Landscaping plans by Ivy May Landscape Architects include subtropical planting and deep soil zones to support stormwater management and visual integration.

Supporting documentation from Mewing Planning Consultants notes that "the proposed development will deliver a mixed-use outcome that enhances the vibrancy of the Sylvan Road corridor" and highlights its proximity to high-frequency public transport and community facilities.

&nbsp;

There's been little new apartment development in Toowong in recent years. The most notable is Consolidated Properties two-tower Monarch Residences, which is approaching completion with nearly all of its 224 residences sold.

Kearney describes&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066" target="">Toowong</a>&nbsp;as a suburb with real depth.

"The suburb attracts everyone, from students to retirees, and that's what makes it interesting."

The developer is extending a five per cent deposit and a $50,000 settlement rebate on selected apartments, aiming to help owner-occupiers secure one of the final homes ahead of move-in in early 2026.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110379 project_image_fid=311393]

Located on Canb​erra Avenue opposite Newlands Park, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/audrey-st-leonards-13-19-canberra-avenue-st-leonards-nsw-2065">Audrey</a> comprises 102 residences, including a mix of three-bedroom residences and a double-storey, five-bedroom terrace with two outdoor areas.&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a> and delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/north-shore-property-construction">North Shore Property Construction</a>, the project reflects Hyecorp’s focus on owner-occupier planning, with open-plan layouts, extensive storage integration, and a material palette built around stone, oak timber flooring and bespoke joinery. Many of the three-bedroom apartments capture views toward the city and Harbour Bridge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110379 project_image_fid=207373]

Hyecorp’s internal design team, Jackson Teece, has emphasised a consistent level of specification across the building, including Miele appliances, integrated refrigeration, brushed metal tapware and large-format stone detailing that conceals cabinetry.

The Tiffany Collection, crowning the development on Levels 12 to 15, features added luxury of fluted standalone baths, heated bathroom floors, custom walk-in robes and upgraded appliance packages across its spacious 155 to 159 sqm homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110379 project_image_fid=301367]

Beyond the private residences, Audrey carries a strong amenity focus. Residents have access to an indoor lap pool and spa, personal training studio, private cinema, music room and private dining room.

A landscaped rooftop terrace with CBD views anchors the communal offering, complemented by an onsite café and an integrated daycare centre within the project.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110379 project_image_fid=198680]

The location continues to be a drawcard for buyers, with new retail additions at Mall 88, including Coles, alongside Woolworths and the established offerings of Forum Plaza. St Leonards Station and Crows Nest Metro is within easy reach, as are local health precincts such as the Royal North Shore Public and Private Hospitals. Nearby green spaces include Newlands Park, Gore Hill Oval and Naremburn Park, supporting strong day-to-day amenity for families and downsizers alike.

Hyecorp is expected to welcome residents to Hyecorp in early 2026.

Audrey St Leonards nears completion – settlement bonus now available

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/freecity">Freecity</a>&nbsp;has been given the green light to develop its flagship mixed-use project in the Crows Nest metro precinct.

The NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority approved the 40-storey tower, aligning with the NSW Government's Transport Oriented Development (TOD) agenda to deliver more homes in highly connected, high amenity locations.

The $600 million tower, at 378-398 Pacific Highway, will comprise 178 apartments with resident amenities, two levels of commercial offices, and a curated retail offering. Freecity will also dedicate a 10 percent Affordable Housing Contribution, supporting the Governments broader housing objectives.

<img alt="Freecity Crows Nest" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4de9b03b-e8aa-4929-b3f1-6747acbe6b73" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Freecity%20Crows%20Nest%20Project.jpg?VersionId=oWwFWxGj_oUFEYX4j_qRFdSzcShLw3DG" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the tower will offer a diverse residential mix, from one-bedroom homes to expansive four-bedroom penthouses, all crafted to maximise light, views and liveability.

Lawrence Zheng, Co-Founder and Joint CEO of Freecity Group, said the approval represents a significant step forward for both Crows Nest and Freecity.

"We are proud to be delivering a landmark project that brings new homes, new amenity and new economic activity to one of Sydney’s most strategically connected locations,"&nbsp;Zheng said.

"With our $6 billion pipeline of 12 mixed-use projects, this development reinforces Freecity’s commitment to helping deliver the housing supply and transport-integrated precincts the Government is championing.”

Michael Romano, Executive Director of Development, said the companies focus is on "creating places that genuinely enhance how people live day to day - communities that balance accessibility, amenity and neighbourhood vibrancy.”

“This project reflects the future of urban living - design led, highly liveable and seamlessly connected to the city’s major transport, employment and education hubs. Being directly opposite the Crows Nest Metro means residents can access the best of Sydney with unrivalled convenience."

Freecity secures approval for Crows Nest metro precinct tower

The Bedford by Mosaic marks the culmination of a near-decade journey for South East Queensland’s most active developer.

Mosaic Founder and CEO, Brook Monahan, said the company first identified the prime Prospect Street, Kangaroo Point site in 2016 as an A-grade opportunity they were eager to secure. They almost bought it at the time, before it was ultimately acquired by Woolworths’ development arm, Fabcot.

The opportunity resurfaced late last year when the site, vacant for nearly three decades, was offered for sale again.

Backed by years of history, feasibility research, and detailed product planning for the 3,195 sqm corner site, Mosaic was able to move swiftly. The Bedford by Mosaic is now proving a clear market success, unsurprising given the depth of work the developer had undertaken on the location and potential density mix well before they owned the land.

Active across both Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and with a development pipeline more than $2 billion, Mosaic has already sold 90 per cent of apartments in what has become the area’s most significant residential addition in more than a decade.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134792 project_image_fid=328119]

Designed by BDA Architecture, The Bedford comprises 128 two- and three-bedroom apartments, including the Masterpiece Series Skyhomes across the top two levels. These residences offer the largest floorplans and the best views over the river and city. Premium inclusions—such as natural stone benchtops, bespoke cabinetry, and Miele appliances, feature in every apartment, not just the top-tier offerings.

A defining feature of The Bedford is its integrated mixed-use component, set to deliver Kangaroo Point’s first Woolworths supermarket, along with a café and liquor store, bringing long-awaited convenience to the peninsula.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134792 project_image_fid=355673]

Residents will also enjoy one of Brisbane’s most comprehensive amenity collections. Dubbed the Rooftop Recreation &amp; Retreat Sky Terrace, the wellness-focused spaces include a resort-style pool with sun deck, an indoor/outdoor gym, spa, sauna, steam room and cold plunge.

Additional amenities include a residents’ lounge and relaxation zones, a private dining room with kitchen, barbecue areas, landscaped gardens, an outdoor viewing deck capturing city and river views, and a bookable golf simulator.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134792 project_image_fid=355681]

The remaining residences at The Bedford span the upper levels of the building and include two- and three-bedroom floorplans, which start from $1,645,000.

Mosaic's in-house building arm has already commenced construction on The Bedford. They estimate a late 2027 completion.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134792 project_image_fid=328121]

Monahan notes that Mosaic’s most successful projects often begin years before the first plans are drawn. Their new South Brisbane development is no exception, initially making it onto their radar in 2018.

“We aren’t opportunistic,” Monahan says. “Every site purchase is well considered and thought out. As seen with Kangaroo Point and South Brisbane, it can take years to eventuate. There are sites we are looking at now that we might not secure for several years.”

Mosaic is set to launch its new South Brisbane project&nbsp;in the next year, while its latest Gold Coast development,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/josephine-by-mosaic-166-the-esplanade-burleigh-heads-qld-4220">Josephine</a>, is coming soon to Burleigh Heads.

A decade in the making: Mosaic's long-awaited success story at The Bedford, Kangaroo Point

Currumbin

The small Gold Coast suburb Currumbin is set for a rare new apartment development.

Arena Property Group, who are developing LANA in Bilinga, has been given the green light to create Kora, a boutique project of just seven apartments designed by Plus Architecture at 798-800 Pacific Parade.

Located on Currumbin’s famed beachside stretch, the four-storey development will be the first major multi-residential addition to the coastal suburb in a number of years, as well as Plus Architecture’s first project in the area.

Arena's Development Manager Ray Bachir said Kora's “quietly confident” design sets a new standard for architecture on Currumbin’s in-demand beach-side strip.

“When your objective is to make a visual impact without compromising the natural integrity of a site it all comes down to excellent design solutions, which Plus Architecture has certainly achieved in this project,” Bachir said.

“Kora is a new product for the area that will appeal to a broad demographic – it’s a great design that offers the iconic Gold Coast lifestyle of suburbs like Palm Beach, while still respecting the unique character and history of Currumbin.”

Plus Architecture Principal Chrisney Formosa said the overall design approach for Kora is organic and uplifting, complementing Currumbin’s picturesque beachside character and its nearby natural landmarks of Currumbin Hills and Elephant Rock.

“Designed with sensitivity to the site’s location and the Currumbin lifestyle, our objective was to design a luxury residential dwelling that seamlessly assimilates with the local built environment,” Formosa said.

“A selection of nature-inspired tones and textures emphasise Kora’s abundant natural light and sweeping panoramic views. These elements contribute to an elevated quality of life for residents and demonstrate our detail-oriented response to subtropical design ideals.”

Kora’s external design scheme features a mix of concrete, tinted glazing, bronze and glass balustrading, with the façade created from timber-look battens.

Plus Architecture has also paid homage to traditional ‘timber and tin’ beach shacks in the design, which grows out from a central timber spine and tapers off in a floating edge following an organic natural form.

All seven residences feature a unique level of amenity including generous internal living space and expansive oceanside balconies which benefit from ocean views. The complex itself features a communal rooftop area, wellness centre, high-quality landscaping and an abundance of car parking spaces. Arena Property Group’s

The sales and marketing campaign for Kora is expected to kick off in a few months, with construction commencement slated for the latter half of 2023.

Arena Property Group greenlit for Plus Architecture-designed Currumbin apartments

The coastal&nbsp;suburb of Currumbin is the latest Gold Coast area to see plans lodged for a new apartment development.

Plans have been lodged for Kora, a boutique development of just seven apartments.

The apartments&nbsp;will be built at 798-800 Pacific Parade, facing Currumbin Beach.

The amalgamated 786&nbsp;sqm site, which homed&nbsp;a&nbsp;holiday rental block of apartments&nbsp;called Shoreline and a beach shack, sold together for $5.56 million in December for the first time in six decades.

It was bought by a Sydney-based developer under the name Marquee Flora Pty Ltd, associated with south Sydney builder Raed Bachir.

<img alt="" height="1081" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/kora_currumbin_2.jpg" width="1200" />

The old buildings&nbsp;will be demolished and make way for the new Plus Architecture-designed&nbsp;building which will only span four levels.

There are hints of feature concrete, floor to ceiling glazing and timber look battens.&nbsp;

&ldquo;With a collection of seven premium residences, the planning ensures that all apartments feature unrivalled ocean views with generous internal living and expansive oceasndei balconies that respond to subtropical design ideals&rdquo;, Plus Architecture&rsquo;s description lodged to the City of Gold Coast council suggested.

&ldquo;The rhythmic balcony lines of Kora reflect a pure expression of natural form; leave that brand from the central timber spine and taper to offer a light floating edge&rdquo;.

<img alt="" height="799" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/currumbin_kora_3.jpg" width="1200" />

The Town Planning Report suggested the&nbsp;architectural philosophy paid homage to the traditional &lsquo;timber and tin&rsquo; beach shacks, evoking the relaxed sense of beachfront living, embracing high-quality, sub-tropical design which blends seamlessly into the beachside character of the site and its setting.

On the ground level there&#39;s set to be a communal wellness centre and pool for residents, as well as a&nbsp;beach house apartment with a private terrace and its own pool.

Above will just be two apartments per floor, then crowning the development communal roof terraces.

Due to the new City Plan established in December 2020, the area&nbsp;now has&nbsp;stricter development regulations,&nbsp;with limits keeping developments to either three storeys, or 15 metres high.

Kora will span four storeys, but will just be over 12 metres.

The apartments will be built at 798-800 Pacific Parade, facing Currumbin Beach

Hollywood stunt doubles Scott McLean and Raelen Chapman are selling Nikkini Estate, their sprawling Gold Coast hinterland property.
The couple, who have appeared as stunt doubles in the likes of a number of Star Wars films, The Matrix Movies and The Hangover Part II, have <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-currumbin+valley-130200038" target="_blank">called Currumbin Valley home</a> for the last four years.
It was the during the aftermath of the Hangover Part II which inspired the move to Currumbin Valley as McLean suffered severe brain damage during the 2010 filming.
He was doubling for Ed Helms, who played Stuart in the hit film.
McLean was required to lean out of the window of a moving vehicle when his head smashed into a truck.

Hollywood stunt double couple lists Gold Coast hinterland home

<html><body>
Retired AFL star Jonathan Brown and his wife Kylie have scored a windfall result for their former Gold Coast hinterland home.
The couple scored $3.5 million for the 2.3 hectare Currumbin Valley retreat, having paid $2.5 million when Brown was still playing for the Lions back in 2013.
There were six bidders for the estate sold through McGrath Palm Beach agent Richard Snowden on behalf of the now Camberwell-based family.
Brown spent $4 million in 2016 on the 1910 home.

Jonathan Brown sells former Gold Coast hinterland home

Politician Jann Stuckey is trading up in her Gold Coast electorate of Currumbin, where she has been based for over three decades.
Stuckey has listed in Currumbin Waters which has been home with husband Richard since 1987 when they moved from Adelaide paying $223,000.
Coast Creek and Country Realty agents Nils Turner and Renee Pannekoek have set a May 26 auction.
The couple aren't moving far.
They're off towards the water, having settled on a $3.1 million near beachfront home at Bilinga.
Stuckey was elected in 2004. 
The marketing describes the home as a 'rural oasis'.
Set on 5,785 square metres, the main home has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a media room.
A tennis court and swimming pool sit on the parcel, as does a separate self-contained two bedroom residence.
