The sought-after Latent Defects Insurance policy, offering off the plan apartment buyers peace of mind for 10 years post-completion, has made its way to Sydney’s harbourside. Boutique developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/toohey-miller">Toohey Miller</a> has secured this insurance for its newly launched Elizabeth Bay development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/barncleuth-square-elizabeth-bay-4-4a-barncleuth-square-elizabeth-bay-nsw-2011">Barncleuth</a>. This marks the developer’s second project in the area, following the success of No. 1 Onslow Place.

Latent Defects Insurance, offered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/resilience-latent-defects-insurance">Resilience Insurance</a>, provides cover for structural or waterproofing defects in new apartment buildings. It is a policy that only the developer or builder can take out, not the apartment purchaser.

Located just&nbsp;off Macleay Street, one of Sydney’s most desirable high streets, Barncleuth offers a rare collection of only 10 residences. With just two per floor, each oversized floorplan has been designed by SJB specifically for the owner-occupier.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140184 project_image_fid=356342]

The five-storey building captures views over Rushcutters Bay and Paddington, blending contemporary brickwork with the expressive silhouettes of its Art Deco neighbours.

Inside, the residences, designed by David Hicks, prioritise generous scale and enduring quality, with a mix of two- and three-bedroom layouts. Expansive terraces and cross-ventilated interiors maximise light and airflow, while sustainable features such as a green roof and locally sourced materials reflect SJB’s commitment to long-term liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140184 project_image_fid=356341]

Developer Toohey Miller, led by Nick Couloumbis, says the design aims to bring lasting quality to an area long celebrated for its apartment heritage.

"It's a stone's throw from the best restaurants in Sydney. Some people call it the Soho of Sydney," Couloumbis told Apartments.com.au when the project was approved.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140184 project_image_fid=356337]

By securing <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/resilience-latent-defects-insurance">Resilience Latent Defects Insurance</a>, Barncleuth joins a growing group of premium Sydney projects adopting the gold standard in building protection.&nbsp;

The cover, provided before construction begins, ensures any hidden structural or waterproofing defects are repaired immediately, without lengthy litigation or fault disputes.

Resilience Insurance CEO Corey Nugent said the product has been a catalyst for renewed confidence in the off the plan market.&nbsp;

“Ultimately what we’re trying to do is build better buildings consumers can trust. When buyers take possession, they have full insurance protection from day one, for 10 years,” Nugent explained.

Unlike traditional policies such as strata or construction insurance, Resilience LDI is a first-resort, strict liability policy, meaning repairs are covered immediately without needing to prove negligence. Coverage extends to foundations, load-bearing walls, and waterproofing, the elements most critical to long-term structural integrity.

Regarded construction firm Jasara has been appointed to deliver Barncleuth. They are forecasting an early 2027 completion.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/golden-sedayu">Golden Sedayu</a> has unveiled plans for the next phase of its landmark $4 billion <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/burswood-point-saintly-entrance-burswood-wa-6100">Burswood Point</a> project, just 3.5km from the Perth CBD at the Belmont Racecourse site.

The Local Development Plan Application has been lodged for a world-class mixed-use hub (Precinct B) on the previously untouched 2.5km stretch of Swan River foreshore.

Designed by Skidmore, Owings &amp; Merrill (SOM), recognised for their work on the world’s tallest skyscraper, Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the One World Trade Centre in New York, Precinct B will feature 15 buildings, offering a mix of residential and commercial spaces including a shopping centre up to 30,000 sqm in size.

Complementing this, an internationally acclaimed five-star hotel, and a high-end pedestrian-friendly retail boulevard with vibrant day-and-night retail, dining, and entertainment venues, will provide exciting new ways for Perth residents to connect with the riverfront.

This latest milestone signals continued construction and expansion momentum across Perth’s premier riverfront community, which is set to attract local, national and international visitors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142314 project_image_fid=263304]

The masterplan features 110,000 sqm of public open space, which is comparable to other Perth landmarks including inner-city Langley Park and South Perth foreshore. The riverside precinct will be brought to life through a visionary landscape concept by globally renowned architectural practice Grant Associates.

With an impressive international portfolio, including Gardens by the Bay and Funan Mall in Singapore and Barangaroo South in Sydney, the firm brings expertise in creating environments that harmonise with surrounding amenity.

At 38 hectares, Burswood Point is one of the largest urban development projects ever undertaken in Australia, and one of Perth’s most transformative mixed-use developments.

Golden Sedayu Managing Director Andrew Sugiaputra said the company was working closely with SOM, Grant Associates and the Government of Western Australia to ensure Burswood Point’s design responds sensitively to its surroundings, reflecting and enhancing the character, history, and natural features of the local environment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142314 project_image_fid=1817]

“West Australians enjoy a privileged outdoor lifestyle and the Swan River is central to their enjoyment,"&nbsp;Sugiaputra said.

"We’re proud to be creating something truly spectacular and unique for the city, a place that feels alive from sunrise to sunset, a place where people can stay, shop, dine, and celebrate life on the river."

Precinct B builds on the outstanding success of Burswood Point’s first residential stage, which has been met with exceptional market demand. Somerset Residences, a two- tower luxury apartment development, and the exclusive riverfront homes collection are under construction and selling fast. As the number of Perth houses listed for sale remain at or near record lows, Burswood Point will deliver 4,500 new homes over the next 10 years.

“Golden Sedayu is dedicated to delivering on our promises,"&nbsp;Sugiaputra added.

"Our clients can buy with confidence, knowing that the price is fixed throughout construction. In an industry that has faced challenging market conditions, we’re proud to provide our clients complete peace of mind and confidence in the value of their investment."

Rising at the base of The Remarkables,&nbsp;diversified New Zealand developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/safari-group">Safari Group</a>'s Mountain Oak Apartments presents a foothold in Frankton, one of Queenstown’s most dynamic and fast-growing locales.&nbsp;

Surrounded by soaring alpine scenery and year-round tourism drawcards, Mountain Oak Apartments is a masterplanned precinct that perfectly balances accessibility with lifestyle amenity.

<img alt="Safari Group offers low-touch investment proposition in Queenstown’s popular ski fields district" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Ext_Cam15_Sunny.jpg?VersionId=SJAROUM_1s.Tr5ciMk4EEj5oAt_Vewmv" />

Frankton has emerged as a strategic growth zone just seven kilometres from Queenstown’s CBD, popular among both residents and investors for its proximity to the airport, the region’s two premier ski fields, Coronet Peak and Cardrona Alpine Resort, and an expanding network of shops, services, and recreation options. The apartments enjoy immediate access to the popular Market Street dining hub, as well as Five Mile Shopping Centre and the seasonal Remarkables Market, where locals gather for fresh produce and artisan goods.

The location also places residents near the gateway to South Island adventures. Scenic trails, golf courses, and Lake Wakatipu’s edge are within easy reach, while the historic village of Arrowtown, renowned for its preserved gold rush-era charm and walking routes, is a short drive away. Local transport connectivity is supported by the nearby airport and arterial roads, ideal for frequent travellers and short-term guests alike.

<img alt="Safari Group’s Mountain Oak Apartments brings new investment potential to Queenstown" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/313_Living_WEB.jpg?VersionId=3LglY20Jp_MAzQYdvwODRWvtjL.cZcqI" />

Tourism-driven demand underpins strong investment fundamentals in Queenstown, with a noted shortage of short- and long-term accommodation stock. Mountain Oak’s 365-day visitor accommodation consent directly addresses this need, offering a rare opportunity to serve Queenstown’s dual population of holidaymakers and hospitality workers.

Construction of the 141 residences began in June 2025, with completion anticipated by mid-2027. Apartments range from one-bedroom to penthouses, with pricing from NZ$639,000. Dual-key options and low-maintenance finishes support a flexible rental model with strong gross return potential.

Deicorp is doubling down in the Hills Showground Station Precinct, the rapidly growing area surrounding the Castle Hill Metro and one of the state’s largest transit-oriented urban renewal sites.

Having launched Hills Showground Village several years ago, and now about 70 per cent through its build, Deicorp has brought another mini-masterplan to market just a few streets away.

The developer has now released the first of 873 residences in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/showground-pavilions-castle-hill-3-andalusian-way-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Showground Pavilions</a>, five new buildings located just 500 metres from the Metro, which connects Castle Hill residents to Martin Place in around 37 minutes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150067 project_image_fid=351416]

The mix includes one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a limited release of garden terrace homes with studies.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/turner-studio">Turner Studio</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/group-gsa">GroupGSA</a>, the residences are configured around a network of landscaped courtyards and podium-level gardens, with additional rooftop terraces offering views across the district.&nbsp;Communal amenities include a 3,500 sqm public park, playgrounds, shaded seating areas and walking and cycling paths.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150067 project_image_fid=351416]

Interiors feature flexible layouts with oversized living areas, deep balconies, SMEG kitchen appliances and floor-to-ceiling glass to maximise light and airflow.&nbsp;

Many apartments include a study space, while select residences offer private outdoor areas. A total of 44 apartments have been designated as affordable housing for key workers, such as nurses, teachers and police officers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150067 project_image_fid=351413]

On top of its strong connectivity to the city, Deicorp has delivered significant new amenity to the area. The developer recently opened the 9,500sqm, four-level retail precinct at Hills Showground Village, which includes 26 specialty retailers and a 1,400sqm public plaza, creating a new community hub for shopping, dining, fitness, and everyday convenience. Castle Towers, one of Australia’s largest shopping centres, is also just one Metro stop away.

Between Hills Showground Village and Showground Pavilions, Deicorp is delivering more than 1,300 new homes to the rapidly growing Castle Hill precinct, representing a $2 billion investment in the suburb.

Showground Pavilions is one of several Metro-linked projects in Deicorp’s pipeline, joining developments at Tallawong Village, Zetland, Five Dock, Macquarie Park and Crows Nest.

The completion of Melrose Park Village marks a significant achievement in the evolution of one of Sydney’s largest urban renewal projects, developed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sekisui-house-australia">Sekisui House Australia</a>.&nbsp;

Located in the city’s north-west, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/melrose-park-village-2a-2f-appleroth-street-nsw-2114">Melrose Park Village</a> represents the fourth completed stage in the broader $5 billion Melrose Park masterplan, which will ultimately bring over 6,000 new homes, a town centre, new schools and 52,000 sqm of green open space.

The completion of Melrose Park Village delivers 421 apartments across six buildings ranging from six to thirteen storeys, all centred around a 4,000 sqm landscaped courtyard designed as a communal “urban backyard” for residents.&nbsp;

The project is now 96 per cent sold, with 14 premium three-bedroom apartments remaining in the final building. Each offers two car spaces with prices starting from $1.259 million.

Alex Grujovski, Project Director, Apartment &amp; Mixed-Use Developments, said “Sekisui House Australia is proud to celebrate the completion of Melrose Park Village, which stands as a sustainable and connected community in the heart of Sydney’s north-west.&nbsp;

“This project represents a pivotal step in our long-term vision for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/melrose-park-nsw-2114">Melrose Park</a>, reflecting our commitment to creating communities that blend nature, technology and human connection. Since 2020, we have delivered over 1,075 apartments across four stages, each designed to enhance wellbeing, connectivity and convenience through exceptional architecture and resident-focused amenities.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150065 project_image_fid=356089]

Residents benefit from an array of lifestyle facilities including a 4,000 sqm internal park, rooftop gardens and BBQ areas, wellness amenities such as an infrared sauna, yoga studio and gymnasium, plus co-working spaces, pet wash facilities, EV charging stations and a resident shuttle bus.&nbsp;

Sustainability remains at the core of the precinct with rooftop solar, smart energy meters, air and water filtration systems and groundwater reuse technology supporting efficient resource use.

Melrose Park Village was designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ajc-architects">AJC Architects</a>, who have led the design of the broader Melrose Park masterplan since inception, developing architectural principles that continue to guide the precinct’s evolution.

Michael Heenan, Design Lead at AJC Architects said the design is completely generated by AJC’s Urban Backyard concept.

"At the heart of Melrose Park Village is a generous green courtyard, a shared backyard for all residents. We designed it at the scale of a local park, a place for families to live, play and grow, capturing the spirit of the Australian backyard.”

The courtyard features nature play areas, a climbing wall and open lawns for social and recreational use. Heenan added that the team’s approach to smart city design, carbon capture and sustainability guided every aspect of the project.&nbsp;

“Stage 4 reflects our belief that density can improve liveability. By integrating architecture, landscape and open space, we have created a model for sustainable urban living that feels contemporary and distinctly Australian.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150065 project_image_fid=356088]

&nbsp;

Melrose Park Village was delivered in partnership with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/parkview">Parkview Constructions</a>, a trusted builder with whom Sekisui House Australia has delivered thousands of apartments across Sydney over the past 15 years.&nbsp;

Upon completion, Melrose Park will deliver more than 6,000 dwellings, 52,000 sqm of open green space featuring over 1,400 mature trees, new transport connections, a town centre set to open in 2026 and Melrose Park High School which is currently under construction and due to open in Term 1 2027.&nbsp;

This milestone marks another major step towards realising Sekisui House Australia’s vision to transform a former industrial site into a future-ready neighbourhood for over 12,000 residents.

Green Square

Bridgehill, the well-known property developer behind the popular UNO and JADE residences in Green Square, has recently announced the launch of their latest Green Square project, ALBA.

The group has appointed Westbourne Construction to handle the build of the new development, marking the sixth collaboration between the two.&nbsp;

ALBA will comprise 360 apartments across two buildings of 10 and 15 storeys, with a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as generously proportioned double-storey penthouses.

<img alt="ALBA" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e44ae957-151e-4543-980f-783172bb7f81" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/LAAN%20S050_FINAL2500.jpg?VersionId=PRzPmH9mCESUkOAW_rRDzdYds2pWsb6z" />

Westbourne will also complete the roadworks and public domain which divide the buildings.&nbsp;

Designed in collaboration by McNally Architects and Sissons Architects, ALBA will feature warm, textured terracotta masonry, paying homage to Green Square's rich industrial heritage.&nbsp;

Completed is slated for Q3 2024.

Located in the heart of one of Sydney's most vibrant and eclectic neighbourhoods and just four-kilometres from the CBD, ALBA is surrounded by a wealth of urban delights.

<img alt="ALBA" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9f3815e7-6f56-4020-ab5a-8cf3f11c0636" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/LAAN%20S040_FINAL2500.jpg?VersionId=6M3eASdOA1r2NIT6l0j1bq78Mwfjm5f9" />

From dog-friendly parks and vibrant galleries to the bustling precincts of Alexandria, Waterloo, Erskineville, and Kensington, there is always something new to discover in this dynamic part of the city.

Residents will also be within proximity to the popular Grounds of Alexandria and Carriageworks, as well as Green Square Library and Bourke St Bakery. The project is just 200 metres from Green Square Station.

Mirvac are teaming up with the multi-award winning Smart Design Studio to bring a collection of terraces to the rapidly expanding Green Square Town Centre.&nbsp;

Portman St Terraces by Mirvac will introduce seven limited edition terrace homes to the leafy Portman Street, forming a contemporary extension to the Victorian-era terraces and cottages that have endured since the 19th century.

<img alt="Portman St Terrace" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ebe0a3c0-7499-4405-a701-448a257c4df7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/MIR2466_GreenSquareBuildingDTerraces_S010_EXT_Facade_Final2000.jpg?VersionId=0pUXElb3MHq1MESlT3yDW5749CvYVJtH" />Render of a&nbsp;Portman St Terrace by Mirvac. Image supplied.

Displaying the signature white on white that has become synonymous with the William Smart led studio, the Portman St Terraces will benefit from their own street address and entry, in addition to a lift from the secure basement parking and a rooftop entertaining deck, complete with an outdoor kitchen and flexible family room.

“There was a sense of creating something quite grand and luxurious but with an understated approach to luxury,” Smart said.

“Something that would feel on trend now and in 30 years. It’s more about the precision of the detailing and quality of the materials and the way they work together.”

The terrace homes will deliver open plan living on the ground level, with four-bedrooms spread across two levels. The kitchens will feature timber joinery and large format stone benchtops, as well as Gaggenau appliances, connecting to timber wall panelling in the living and dining areas.

“The colour palette is also pared back; where Victorian terraces typically favour high contrast, we were interested in exploring a subtle and harmonious combination of materials and colours."

In a further break with Victorian tradition the terraces will be light and airy, with courtyards both in the front and back, along with a central sculptural staircase that funnels light through the building to the rooms on every level.

<img alt="Portman St Terrace" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="afe7eecf-cf80-462b-b884-fc9a7f4cabb4" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/MIR2466_GreenSquareBuildingDTerracesStills_S030_INT_Kitchen_Final2000.jpg?VersionId=5Jc6nmavpTFTUVH8.JFYXoSKGwS15tkv" />Render inside one of the&nbsp;Portman St Terraces by Mirvac.

Mirvac General Manager of Residential Development NSW, Toby Long said the opportunity to own a Smart-designed, Mirvac terrace home in a neighbourhood where new construction tends towards apartments not houses, would satisfy the interest from buyers in search of high-end homes at Green Square.

“Green Square Town Centre has become a magnet for people in search of a luxury designer home where they can enjoy the urban buzz and still be close to the CBD,” said Long.

“The demand for three and four-bedroom residences at The Frederick, a collaboration with Smart Design Studio and Mirvac Design, has been extraordinary. We had the same experience with Portman on the Park and Portman House, a CO-AP and Mirvac Design collaboration, which led to a number of apartment amalgamations to form larger residences.”

“Our Green Square properties have been selling extremely well, signalling the strength of the owner occupier market and the growing appeal of this neighbourhood to those seeking a high end luxury home,” Long added.&nbsp;

While details of the Portman St Terraces have been kept under wraps before the official marketing launch, word of mouth has led to a steady stream of inquiry which has come as no surprise to Long.

“William Smart is one of Australia’s most celebrated architects,” he said.&nbsp;

“We have partnered with Smart Design Studio on several previous projects, including Maxwell Place at Harold Park and The Moreton at Bondi, and The Frederick, which is now under construction.”

In a further break with Victorian tradition the terraces will be light and airy, with courtyards both in the front and back, along with a central sculptural staircase that funnels light through the building to the rooms on every level.

The soon-to-be national property developer, Crown Group, has unveiled its penthouse collection across two of its Sydney apartment developments.

The architecture-led penthouses in Crown Group&#39;s&nbsp;Mastery by Crown Group and Waterfall by Crown Group developments are being pitched at potential onshore and offshore investors, now New South Wales is allowing quarantine-free travel.

Iwan Sunito, Crown Group co-founder and group chief executive, said, despite the COVID-19 outbreak, Asian investment in Sydney remains very strong.

&ldquo;Compared with many global cities, Sydney offers stronger growth prospects for property owners; backed by a stable government, strong education market and a demand for housing which outstrips supply.&rdquo;

This year, the Crown Group buyer pool is made up of a mix of offshore and onshore investors, with demand from the Asian market holding up despite travel restrictions.

Crown Group tapped in to the work-from-home trend, pivoting toward&nbsp;flexible floor plans and internal and external living areas, along&nbsp;with resort-style amenities and communal landscaped gardens.

The completed penthouse in the Waterfall by Crown Group apartment development in Waterloo spans two levels and has three bedrooms across its 147 sqm of living space. There&#39;s a balcony over 40 sqm, and a private rooftop with city skyline views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5763 project_image_fid=182339]

Waterfall by Crown Group is a $400 million master-planned development comprising 331 apartments across three eight-storey buildings and one 22-storey tower, which is home to the highest man-made waterfall in the southern hemisphere.

Inspired by the tropical landscape of Indonesia&rsquo;s Kalimantan and developed in conjunction with award-winning SJB Architects, Waterfall is a veritable rainforest in the heart of the city, offering access to tranquil gardens, a cantilevered gym, rooftop infinity pool, 49-jet jacuzzi for up to 16 people, outdoor cinema and music and function rooms.

Down the road is Crown&#39;s Mastery by Crown Group development in Green Square, a&nbsp;cluster of five newly completed buildings offering a total of 368 luxury apartments and anchored by a 19-storey, timber-clad tower featuring three exclusive penthouses.

Designed by&nbsp;Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, who recently designed the 2020 Olympic Stadium in Tokyo and the internationally acclaimed V&amp;A museum in Dundee, Scotland, the tower forms part of a rare collaboration of three renowned architectural firms: Kengo Kuma; established Sydney architects Silvester Fuller; and Koichi Takada Architects, who created sophisticated Japanese-inspired interiors with a generous use of natural materials.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7020 project_image_fid=173694]

Part of the exclusive Penthouse Collection are&nbsp;three architecturally-designed penthouses in Kengo Kuma&rsquo;s cantilevered tower. Offering between 150 sqm to&nbsp;171 sqm of outdoor space, they occupy the top floor of the tower envisioned by Kengo Kuma to act as a vertical urban forest, with views towards Sydney&rsquo;s CBD, Centennial Park, and&nbsp;panoramic water views to the south.

The penthouses feature water&nbsp;and moisture-resistant travertine&nbsp; in the kitchen island benchtops, splashbacks, and in the bathroom walls, floors and vanity benches. There are Smeg appliances throughout, including rangehoods, gas cooktops, ovens, steam ovens, microwave ovens and coffee machines.

Buyers will have the option to upgrade to a Japanese onsen style bathtub,&nbsp;made of fragrant hinoki cypress, in the ensuite.

&ldquo;Mastery by Crown Group is the last council-permitted tower for the area, meaning that this is an exclusive opportunity to not only live in the very first Kengo Kuma-designed residential building in Australia, but to secure views that will be impossible to replicate in Waterloo with existing zoning rules,&rdquo; Sunito said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7020 project_image_fid=173690]

Penthouse Collection residents will have access to Mastery&#39;s resort-style facilities which include an infinity-edge rooftop pool, gym, spa, mini-cinema and a community room. Australia&rsquo;s first Japanese &ldquo;eat street&rdquo; is located on the doorstep.

The Mastery and Waterfall Penthouse Collection apartments are for sale, from $3.75 million to $4.88 million..

There are still studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments&nbsp;for sale, priced from $630,000 and ranging&nbsp;to $2.37 million.

Knight Frank estimates that in 2021 Sydney luxury real estate prices will surge by 10 per cent. The outlook remains positive for 2022 as well, with a healthy seven per cent&nbsp;year-on-year growth forecast.

The new Green Square community is closer to getting its planned new primary school and community facility.

The design has been unveiled by the NSW Government and the City of Sydney.

The new primary school will meet enrolment demands in one of Australia&#39;s fastest growing neighbourhoods.&nbsp;

The project will include additional facilities designed for both school and community use.

Architect BVN&rsquo;s competition-winning design integrates school and community spaces for both day and night use and will be built on the former South Sydney Hospital site on Joynton Avenue. 
&nbsp; 
[smartcode_project:default project_id=30049 project_image_fid=162873]

Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said the winning design from BVN would &quot;create a fantastic place for children to learn.&rdquo; 
&nbsp; 
The NSW Government will fund and staff the project with a contribution from the City of Sydney. 
&nbsp; 
The winning design was commended for its response to the surrounding local area, its clever multi-purpose sports court, smart educational approach and its consideration of the environment.

City of Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the City will contribute $25 million to the &quot;revolutionary school to provide much-needed community facilities that will be activated day and night for the whole community to use.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100811 project_image_fid=162886]

&ldquo;Close to the aquatic center and library, this school will be an important addition to the area&rsquo;s educational, social and cultural life,&rdquo; the Lord Mayor said.

&ldquo;This new school will sit at the heart of the growing Green Square community and set a new benchmark for urban development,&quot; she added.

The latest apartment project being marketed is Green Square By Mirvac with Portman House at 77-93 Portman Street, Zetland.

Infinity by Crown Group at Green Square has taken out yet another major industry award, this time the Urban Developer’s Development of the Year in its high density residential category. 

The tightly held complex has a limited number of apartments with studios priced from $639,000, and two-bedroom apartments from $1,269,000.

Landcom and Mirvac Group have neared completion of OVO at Green Square, which more than 600 residents set to call the landmark building home. 
It was designed by Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp (FJMT) design director, Richard Francis-Jones.
It is the second Landcom and Mirvac building to be completed at Green Square, following the completion of Ebsworth in early 2017 in the transformed former industrial area.
Designed by FJMT in partnership with Mirvac Design, OVO features a distinctive ellipsoid-shaped tower taking advantage of the prime views of the city.
The façade of the building has one of the most complex colour, detail and manufacturing systems Mirvac has delivered, including 1,800 panels in 134 different shapes and 17 different colours.
Mirvac’s CEO Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz said OVO was the gateway to the heart of the Green Square Town Centre, on the corner of Bourke Street and Ebsworth Street.
Green Square’s high street along Ebsworth Street now features a 2,000 square metre Woolworths supermarket and The Social Corner - a community space and cafe.  
Later this year, the City of Sydney will open the civic plaza and library, with more amenities, such as parks and an aquatic centre, set to open in the coming years. 
This has followed the completion of a $32 million community and cultural precinct, complete with a three-storey creative centre, which opened in May 2018.
It as in April 2015 when Mirvac sold 221 apartments on the opening weekend. 
Pricing on the apartments in the 28-storey tower was equivalent to the last two towers the developer had sold in the same burgeoning new precinct.
Rates on level 12 were around $13,000 per square metre, with lower floors cheaper and higher floors dearer. 
Studios were priced from $650,000, with first home buyers paying more than $700,000 for a one bedroom apartment without parking, and two bedroom apartments with one bathroom in the $900,000 range and going up in Ovo, which occupies a prominent gateway location at 956-960 Bourke Street.
Designed by architect Richard Francis-Jones in an elliptical shape, the curving, 28-storey tower features a larger mix of three-bedroom apartments with layouts designed to appeal to households with children.
Some apartments have a bathroom for every bedroom. 
When fully completed around 2030, Green Square’s total population could reach 53,000, according to planning estimates.

Residents have been welcomed into Ebsworth, the first apartment building to be completed as part of the $8bn Green Square Town Centre development.
Developed by Mirvac and UrbanGrowth NSW, the building is situated on Ebsworth Street.
The town centre anchors a broader $13 billion Green Square urban renewal precinct which spans 287 hectares.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2017/05/19/rsz_ebsworthnew.png" alt="">
The new town centre will deliver much needed retail and community amenity for inner Sydney, as well as jobs and over 30,500 new dwellings. A total of 61,000 people are expected to live in Green Square by 2030.
“Green Square Town Centre is a prime example of our organisation’s ambition to transform city living,” commented UrbanGrowth NSW chief executive Michael Brodie.
“It is enormously satisfying to see this strategic location that was otherwise under-utilised, so successfully transformed into a new transit-oriented development that will provide new homes, community facilities, and job opportunities so close to the CBD,” he said.
Ebsworth offers residents inner-city living, incorporating a diverse range of layouts. It is comprised of 174 one, two and three bedroom apartments with construction completed on schedule earlier this year.
Most residents have already settled and are moving into their new homes. The buyers are a mix of investors, owner occupiers and first home buyers.
Ebsworth residents will enjoy access to high quality amenities including a new Woolworths supermarket on the ground floor of the building opening mid-year, as well as landscaped parks, playing fields, a civic plaza and library, and an aquatic centre to be completed progressively by the City of Sydney.
“Mirvac is extremely proud to be partnering with UrbanGrowth NSW to deliver new homes and a new community for Sydney,” added Mirvac CEO and managing director, Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz.
“Green Square Town Centre showcases Mirvac’s commitment to developing communities within and beyond the boundaries of our developments,” she said.
Mirvac is UrbanGrowth NSW’s delivery partner in Green Square Town Centre, delivering Ebsworth, the adjoining Ovo, No. 8 Ebsworth and Ovo Portman Place - estimated to complete construction by 2018, and future residential, retail and commercial stages.

A luxury top-floor penthouse has surged past property price records in the Sydney suburbs of Green Square, Zetland and Waterloo this month when it sold for $3,598,650.  According to RP Data records, the highest price for a residential apartment situated in Zetland, Green Square and Waterloo was previously held by a three-bedroom penthouse at 8 Sam Sing Waterloo.
Located in the Infinity by Crown Group development, the three-bedroom apartment represents the final sale at the 401-apartment development, which is now officially sold out.  Crown Group recorded $380 million dollars in sales in one day when it first launched the project in 2015.
<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/2017/04/19/Infinity2.jpg" alt="" width="416" height="286">
The 20-storey building will feature an infinity-edge pool, spa, gym, music room, media theatre, a roof-top terrace, 30 retail outlets, restaurants and cafés; plus a conference centre to hold 450 people. Crown Group global head of sales and marketing, Julian Sedgwick, remarked that the penthouse allowed buyers to own a prestigious home in the city’s next architectural centrepiece.
“The penthouses at Infinity by Crown Group represented a chance for buyers to secure a top-tier, luxury retreat with stunning views of Sydney’s CBD,” he said. “This is a sign of strength within Sydney’s prestige property bastions.”
The 150sqm three-bedroom penthouse features custom-made, floor-to-ceiling glass windows and a spectacular rooftop terrace with panoramic views of Sydney’s CBD.
Boasting bright, naturally-lit living spaces and lavish interior finishes, the luxury penthouse included technology geared for entertainment such as multimedia touch-controlled home automation systems.
“This penthouse at Infinity by Crown Group will be arguably Green Square’s most outstanding apartment showcasing all the benefits of luxury living in Sydney,” added Crown Group sales and marketing director, Roy Marcellus.
“This record-breaking sale reflects customers’ awareness of the premium quality and exclusivity of Crown Group’s apartments. The sale of this penthouses is proof that Sydney’s luxury market is alive and well,” he said.
Additionally, Crown Group has now sold all four level-27 penthouse apartments in its $250-million Arc by Crown Group, which is under-construction in Sydney’s CBD. The $575-million development is located on the corner of Bourke Street and Botany Road and scheduled for completion in 2019.
The next project in the works is the recently Waterfall by Crown Group, located less than 1km from the now sold-out Green Square development, will be launched for sale in June this year.

The final development plot at Sydney's Green Square Town Centre has come on the market and will be being offered through international expressions of interest closing 30 August 2016.
The 811 Elizabeth Street Zetland site is 9,693sqm and zoned for mixed use development. It has three street frontages and market through Knight Frank’s Eugene Evgenikos, Tim Holtsbaum, Dominic Ong and Adam Bodon. 
The site is diagonally opposite the aquatic leisure centre, which will include a 50-metre outdoor pool set within a ‘beach pool’, indoor pools and gym, a park, native landscaping, and play equipment. 
<img src="/images/2016/07/27/green2.jpg" alt="">
Eugene Evgenikos, head of metropolitan sales, NSW, Knight Frank said the soon-to-be-completed 5,500 square metre Drying Green Park, Gunyama Park and the aquatic leisure centre, all located within a short walking distance, provide a remarkable point of difference and desirability for any ensuing development.
“The precedence for high-density development in the immediate vicinity of the new aquatic centre has been well established, with this site being the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle, the missing link, in connecting the boulevard through Green Square town centre,” he said.
The Green Square Town Centre development area is 278 hectares, and will eventually be home to 30,500 new dwellings. This includes approx. 10,000 now under assessment or construction. When fully completed after 2030, Green Square’s total population is expected to reach 61,000.

Final residential development site in Sydney's Green Square Town Centre on market

<html><body>
Three pedestrian only streets are planned for Green Square’s town centre to help make walking the best way to get around Sydney’s fastest growing urban precinct.
Fellmonger Place to the north of the plaza will become an ‘eat street’ filled with cafes and restaurants, while parts of Hinchcliffe and Barker Streets will be traffic free, providing paved links the heart of the town centre. Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the City was future-proofing the area by giving walking and cycling infrastructure top priority.    “Walking will be the quickest, easiest and most pleasant way to explore the Green Square neighbourhood, so we’re doing all we can to create wide, accessible footpaths, surrounded by trees and gardens, with quiet backstreets for locals and visitors to explore,” the Lord Mayor said.   “Planning Green Square from the ground up means we have a unique opportunity to put people first and create a main street that’s wide and comfortable for walkers, riders and drivers.    “Most people don’t realise that the heart of Green Square is only three kilometres, a 40-minute walk from Central, making walking or riding a bike a great transport option.”   The City has committed $540 million over 10 years for the delivery of the town centre, a 13-hectare site that will become the community’s epicentre. Roughly the same size as Hyde Park, residents and visitors will be able to walk across the town centre in about 10 minutes.   Zetland Avenue, Green Square’s 36-metre-wide tree lined boulevard provides pedestrians and cyclists with generous footpaths and separated off road cycleways, centrally located to link people directly between the creative arts hub, parklands, the aquatic centre, the library and plaza, and onto the Green Square railway station and retail /commercial areas. The close proximity of all new community facilities makes walking and cycling the easiest and most time effective transport options.   Surrounding streets will have their own unique character with high-quality permanent and temporary artworks, creating attractive opportunities to walk or cycle through the area. More than 60,000 people will move into 30,500 new homes in Green Square by 2030, making it Australia’s densest residential area.  Work on the town centre’s streets has started and will continue over the next three years as the rest of the area is developed.
