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

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.

Karen Michael, daughter of the late property mogul David Burger has sold her Dover Heights home for an undisclosed price.
The Wentworth Street home was offered with a $7.5 million - $8 million price guide.
Michael is headed to Tamarama where she smashed the previous suburb record paying $15.8 million.
Michael bought her Dover Heights home in 1996 when, aged just 20, she paid $760,000 for the clifftop house and rebuilt it into a three-level residence with panoramic views from the ocean to the city skyline.
The five bedroom, four bathroom abode sits on a 936 sqm block.
Ray White Double Bay’s Ashley Bierman was responsible for both the sale of her former Dover Heights home and her off market purchase in Tamarama.
She purchased the home from Annie Conley, daughter of the late aviation pioneer and philanthropist John Conley who paid $13 million for the home.

Dover Heights trophy home sells for $3.57 million

The recently appointed boss of Google in Australia, Melanie Silva, and her husband Marcelo, have bought in Sydney’s east.
The couple have emerged as $5 million-plus buyers in Dover Heights.
The Blacktown-born Silva, who grew up in what she has described as “really humble beginnings” in Kings Langley, has secured a home that spans four levels with an internal lift.
There’s a double-sided fireplace that separates the living and family areas on the ground level.
The top level comprises the master suite, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.
The home comes with views across Sydney Harbour.
It sold through Ray White’s top-selling agent Gavin Rubinstein.
The four-bedroom home had fetched $4.6 million three years ago.
Silva, who attended high school in Parramatta and then studied for an economics degree at Macquarie University, took the top job at Google last October.
She secured the up-market property on her return to Sydney from Singapore where she was posted in 2016 for two years.

The billionaire hotelier Justin Hemmes, who has been looking for a home for his ex-partner, Kate Fowler, has quietly secured a $7.5 million Dover Heights abode.

The couple have been living in the expansive Hermitage family compound in Vaucluse following their separation last July after a four year relationship.

<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-dover+heights-129576814" target="_blank">The purchase</a> is just in the name of billionaire bar tsar.

<img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/4/5/hem%203.jpg">

Model Fowler, the mother of his two young daughters, met Hemmes on a boat in Europe in 2014.

Hemmes, who has recently broke into the $1 billion club due to his vast property empire, had been assisting Fowler in finding a suitable home.

Fowler had previously sought a Bellevue Hill offering but the couple who attended the auction last September were pipped when it sold for $6,575,000, some $575,000 over reserve. 

The Dover Heights acquisition was from Nicki Smoli and her husband Neil Smoli, a non executive director at Aviate Group.

The Smoli couple bought the property run down in 2012 for $2.4 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7758]

The oceanfront cliff top masterpiece was then designed by Nicki's father, the architect Dennis Rabinowitz, in 2015 with the build taking 18 months.

The home has four bedrooms, including a master retreat with its own walk in wardrobe, ensuite and balcony.

It sits in 550 square metres of landscaped gardens complete with a heated pool and dining terrace.

<img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/4/5/hem%204.jpg">

Sydney Sotheby's Double Bay agents Barry and Mark Goldman sold the home after having a $7 million guide.

The purchase comes ahead of Hemmes being ranked 89th in the inaugural edition of The List — Australia’s Richest 250, published in a special magazine in The Weekend Australian.

He is one of 68 property ident­ities who appear in The List, the biggest study of wealth in Australia ever undertaken.

<img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/4/5/hem%201.jpg">

Hemmes, who's parents, John and Merivale founded the Merivale fashion and property empire, owns the Coogee Pavilion, Ivy and the Newport Arms. He enjoys the ownership of 90 or so properties.

Late last year Hemmes dipped into the office market, purchasing the Sydney CBD building adjoining the Ivy.

It is believed he is seeking external investors, for the first time in Merivale's six decade year history, to undertake a $1.5 billion knockdown rebuild which will see the Ivy expand.

Ivy will be rebuilt within seven years and, while he has not finalised the plans for the precinct that for now at least contains 20 different venues and businesses, he is close to formulating his vision.

Crest to smash Dover Heights record house price 

<html><body>
There are suburb record breaking expectations for The Cliff House, the luxury Dover Heights clifftop home.
The designer home has a guide of $11 million to $12 million, which would rival the record set two years ago when 7's <a href="/news/larry-emdur-secures-dover-heights-record-price">Morning Show host Larry Emdur</a> sold his nearby family home to celebrity accountant Anthony Bell for $11.5 million.
Emdur went on to downsize to a <a href="/news/larry-emdur-secures-apartment-in-the-rocks">cool apartment in The Rocks</a>, but spends most of his time at his long-time Bondi apartment.
Built by Bellevarde Constructions in 2005, The Cliff House (above and below) was designed by London-based architects Walters and Cohen in collaboration with Sydney-based architects Collins and Turner.
<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/2019/3/5/Dover2.jpg" alt="">
It features minimalist interiors and a connection with the outdoor.
The home is split into two wings connected by a gallery entry with 6.6 metre high ceiling and a glass atrium, finished with a corten steel sculpture by artist Christopher Hodges.
The open-plan upper level has living kitchen and dining area that flows to north-facing sun terraces and wet-edge pool.
<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/2019/3/5/Dover3.jpg" alt="">
There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as an internal lift.
The Wentworth Street property, towering high above the seascape and set privately at the end of a driveway on a 580 sqm parcel, has belonged to Steven Penn since 1996 when he paid $710,000. 
Sydney Sotheby's agents Barry and Mark Goldman are handling the marketing.
The Cliff House joins Crest on the market, the <a href="/news/crest-to-smash-dover-heights-record-house-price">luxury Dover Heights new build</a> which also has suburb record breaking hopes.

Dover Heights The Cliff House set for suburb record

The removalists haven't been spotted, but the former Nine CEO David Gyngell and wife, reporter Leila McKinnon are whispered to have sold their Dover Heights home.
The rumoured buyers are Adam and Alex Somerville from North Bondi. He's in the retirement village business. 
The clifftop home was built in 2014 after the block with 1940s home was bought in 1998 for $1.15 million.
The mansion, designed by David's sister Briony Fitzgerald and mother Anne, was once featured Belle.
"Every room, including the bathrooms, captures views of the ocean, coast or harbour in the distance. On a clear day you can see from Palm Beach to Wollongong," the magazine reported.
A nearby tightly held Wentworth Street, Dover Heights clifftop offering sold at recent auction for a bullish $6 million.
With private ocean views, it is a knockdown on 544 sqm that sold through Bradfield Cleary agent Georgia Cleary.
The sighting of Deborra-lee Furness at an open for inspection quickly triggered a wave of suggestions she and her showman husband Hugh Jackman could be on the lookout for a permanent Sydney abode.
But they were a no-show at the auction.
The word from the Jackman camp is that Furness was merely assisting a family friend with their Dover Heights property search.. 
Gyngell, the son of the late former Channel Nine boss, Bruce Gyngell, has links to the eastern suburbs coast going back to the late 1980s when he was selling beachwear and surfing equipment.

Dover Heights clifftop sells for $6 million

Rolando Schirato, the third generation of the Vittoria coffee bean family, has bought in Dover Heights with longtime partner, the super-food smoothie company pioneer, Luisa Hammond-Parker.
The North Bondi-based couple have spent $5,875,000 on a 2000 built home complete with two living areas with ocean views.
