Rose Bay is emerging as one of Sydney’s most active suburbs for development, as developers respond to demand driven by the suburb’s ageing population.

More than 20 per cent of Rose Bay residents are aged 65 and over, according to the latest ABS census data. Combined with more favourable planning schemes introduced in recent years, new development activity in the suburb has accelerated.

Fresh off the back of a $173 million sale of what was marketed as “one of the largest sites ever amalgamated so close to Rose Bay Village,” created by 12 homeowners joining forces to combine nearly 6,000 sqm bordering Wilberforce Avenue and Dover Road, more than $200 million worth of development applications has been submitted in the suburb in the past month alone.

Aligned with the Rose Bay Place Plan 2023–2028, which identifies Wilberforce Avenue as a strategic location for new housing in response to local demographic shifts, Lewin Capital has lodged plans for a new $40 million project, also on Wilberforce. The proposal seeks to deliver 32 apartments, a mix of sizes designed to cater to a broad demographic range, including downsizers and key workers, with both smaller and family-sized units on offer.

Architecturally, the scheme adopts a measured approach to height and massing, stepping down at the rear to integrate with adjacent residential properties while forming a defined medium-density edge to the Rose Bay Centre.&nbsp;

“The proposed design for 12–18 Wilberforce Avenue, Rose Bay is a well-mannered apartment building in a mid-block position on a quiet street,” the Urban Design Report by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/mhn-design-union">MHN Design Union</a> (MHNDU) states.&nbsp;

“It will form part of a new living environment in this highly desirable location.”

Builder-developer HSN Property Group is also bringing density to the same pocket, planning 54 two- and three-bedroom apartments that will also benefit from the recent Low and Mid-Rise Housing Reforms introduced under the NSW Housing SEPP. 14 of the apartments will be dedicated affordable under the SEPP in the $96 million proposal.

“The site’s location and context make it well suited to support a more diverse and sustainable residential offering in the area,” the developer stated in community consultation materials.

The plans by HSN for 2-16 Spencer St, Rose Bay

The architecture, led by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/mhn-design-union">MHNDU</a>, reflects a "contemporary design approach sensitive to the character of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/rose-bay-nsw-2029" target="">Rose Bay</a>." Communal amenities will include a wellness area with a pool and sauna, a gym, a wine lounge, and landscaped spaces with barbecue facilities.&nbsp;

Fyve Developments is breaking into the eastern suburbs for the first time with their $32 million new development in Rose Bay. They are planning 19 apartments on Dover Lane.

Designed by PBD, the new project will comprise four two-bed apartments and 15 three-bed units.

<img alt="Fyve" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="91ec4820-1e05-4598-8d27-9df42234a52c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-08%20at%201.23.42%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=VtH0oa48nJcvXGiXqjbHJvtYY6zWdIC7" /> 
Fyve's plans on Dover Lane.

Luxcon is also back in the suburb, having previously delivered The Aristocrat back in 2020. They have filed plans for 17 three-bedroom apartments on <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-8-cooper-street-double-bay-nsw-2028">Cooper Street</a>.

Fortis wants to deliver <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/23-31-dover-road-rose-bay-nsw-2029">49 apartments on Dover Road</a>, an $86 million development. That adds to their <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/10-12-ian-street-rose-bay-nsw-2029">Ian St, Rose Bay development</a>, which they will likely launch next year.

Rose Bay apartment market fires up with $200m in new developments filed

Leading Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> has recorded a strong market response at the launch of The Avenues, its $874 million East Zetland precinct.

On its recent launch they sold close to $18 million, predominantly to owner-occupiers, more specifically to families who wanted to be closer to kids and grandkids.

&nbsp;

Apartments sold ranged from $1.8 million to $1.97 million for two bedrooms, and $2.12 million to $2.62 million for three bedrooms.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146262 project_image_fid=357150]

Located four kilometres from the CBD, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-avenues-zetland-130-joynton-avenue-zetland-nsw-2017">The Avenues</a> is transforming a 2.87-hectare site into a pedestrian-friendly urban neighbourhood comprising 574 residences across nine buildings designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/candalepas-associates">Candalepas Associates</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fk-australia">FK</a>.&nbsp;

Surrounded by tree-lined, walkable “avenues”, the precinct’s more than 800 sqm of ground-floor retail brings a lively, Paris-inspired streetscape to the heart of East <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/zetland-nsw-2017">Zetland</a> and will directly service nearby amenities and the surrounding residential community. 
&nbsp; 
The Avenues will also feature build-to-rent and purpose-built student housing in partnership with Scape, supporting key workers, students and long-term renters in this high-demand corridor.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146262 project_image_fid=357154]

Deicorp will also contribute more than $16 million to open space improvements, including upgrades to Woolwash and Biyanbing Parks, with The Avenues designed to strengthen pedestrian connections to Green Square Station and Gunyama Park.&nbsp;

Deicorp Founder, Fouad Deiri OAM, said a clear trend was evident, with purchasers driven by proximity to family and lifestyle essentials.&nbsp;

“We’ve seen a clear trend of parents wanting to live close to adult children and students, as well as interstate and international buyers seeking to reconnect with family in Sydney’s inner south,"&nbsp;Deiri said.

“This early sales performance reflects the strength of East Zetland as a connected, high-amenity location and the appeal of homes designed with long-term liveability in mind. Many of these early-stage buyers are repeat Deicorp purchasers, too."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146262 project_image_fid=357165]

Zetland is one of the top suburbs in Australia to experience an increase in housing density, with its population growing by 24 per cent in as little as three years to over 15,600 residents. According to REA, 197 units were available last month, with over 2300 buyers interested, demonstrating the strong demand for this inner southern pocket of Sydney.&nbsp;

Deicorp’s strong result at The Avenues follows significant spring momentum across its portfolio, with $63 million in combined sales recorded across recent launches for Showground Pavilions in Castle Hill and Falcon &amp; Alexander in Crows Nest.&nbsp;

Construction on The Avenues commenced in June, with the construction period expected to generate 2,700 jobs. Across its portfolio, Deicorp currently has 5,102 apartments under construction, playing a leading role in shaping connected, liveable communities across Sydney.&nbsp;

Its expanding portfolio of Metro-linked developments includes Tallawong Village, Kings Bay Village in Five Dock, Hyde Metropolitan, and Showground Village, all advancing the company’s long-term commitment to creating vibrant, transit-oriented neighbourhoods.&nbsp;

Apartments start from $955k for a one-bedroom, $1.48 million for a two-bedroom, and $2.04 million for a three-bedroom, all with car parking.

Leading property developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a> has officially completed ENSO, its premium boutique residential development in Neutral Bay Village.

Designed by internationally acclaimed architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/koichi-takada-architects">Koichi Takada</a> and built by Credence Constructions, ENSO draws inspiration from the Japanese Buddhist philosophy of the same name, a symbol of elegance, strength and enlightenment.

Comprising of just nine one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences, with a full floor four-bedroom penthouse, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/enso-neutral-bay-34-grosvenor-street-neutral-bay-nsw-2090">ENSO</a> combines sculptural form and refined materiality with a minimalist design language that evokes calm, balance and timeless sophistication.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109705 project_image_fid=355893]

Abadeen completes ENSO in the heart of Neutral Bay’s fast-evolving village precinct

&nbsp;Developer CPDM is continuing to put its stamp on Sydney's Lower North Shore.

Just a few months after seeking to develop <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/first-look-neutral-bay-transformation-continues-as-new-eight-level-building-pitched">25 apartments in Neutral Bay</a>, CPDM is now looking to deliver something similar in the neighbouring suburb of Cremorne.

They have gone through the NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority to file a State Significant Development Application for 32 apartments across an eight-storey building at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/57-61-reynolds-street-cremorne-nsw-2090">57–61 Reynolds Street</a>.

Like the majority of development applications being submitted in recent months, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/cpdm">CPDM</a> is looking to trigger the affordable housing uplift under the&nbsp;State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing) 2021 guidelines.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/pbd-architects">PBD Architects</a>, who have worked on the project since its inception. They noted in their design statement that the Reynolds Street frontage more closely resembles the scale of multi-residential buildings in the area, while Gerard Lane has a smaller scale to match the presentation of the existing buildings on that lane.

<img alt="First look: CPDM plans eight-storey affordable apartment project in Cremorne" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7ecfa010-8db9-42de-9b8e-0e52d46fe708" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Cremorne%20podium.png?VersionId=EajgchvITAagKkiAksQYy3SAIVpI.i.t" />

The majority of the 32 apartments will be three-bedrooms (27), with the remaining five two-bedroom units.

The building will include two rooftop communal spaces and two basement levels with 51 car parking spaces allocated for residents, visitors, motorcycles, and bicycles.

PBD noted that the project’s “density is thoughtfully planned to be sustainable, capitalising on existing and future infrastructure, access to public transport, the site’s cultural and community value, and its environmental attributes”.

CPDM has been steadily growing its development footprint across Sydney’s North Shore, with previous and current projects in Lindfield, Gordon, and Neutral Bay. Their recent application in Neutral Bay, also designed by PBD Architects, similarly leveraged the Housing SEPP bonus provisions to deliver a mid-rise apartment building with affordable housing units.

First look: Developer CPDM doubles down on Sydney's Lower North Shore

The first new apartment development in Gladesville to offer 10-year Latent Defects Insurance (LDI) protection is soon to welcome its residents.

Respected boutique developer Geron Property has partnered with the Gladesville RSL to deliver Jordan Hall Residences, named after the historic Jordan Hall building on Western Crescent, on the edge of the town centre.

The façade of the original 1938 building has been kept intact by the development team. The Inter-War Free Classical community venue is known for its Art Deco parapet, dual-tone brickwork, and decades of RSL Youth Club activity. The building once anchored the view down Jordan Street, and its façade will continue to do so as the hall becomes the architectural centrepiece of the new residential project.

Innovate Architects has designed a new structure that rises behind Jordan Hall, featuring 29 large-scale apartments that are setting new benchmarks in the suburb.

Local construction company Gauge is putting the finishing touches on the apartments, which are designed primarily for local downsizers. Each apartment features three bedrooms, kitchens with integrated Miele appliances, generous natural light through strategically placed windows, and private outdoor areas.

Beyond the private spaces, the project includes communal areas on the first and seventh levels, positioned to take advantage of Gladesville’s elevated outlook.

<img alt="Jordan Hall" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f696a00e-e624-4af7-809c-e10cbf5fb051" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-04%20at%2012.17.43%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=AwWxRbU92OMu0kMwFzaTbFO3qtwEr7go" />

Jordan Hall will be the first new apartment development in Gladesville with Latent Defects Insurance, a new insurance policy that gives peace of mind for off the plan buyers when it is secured by the builder or developer of the new building.

Offered by Resilience Insurance, LDI is a first-right insurance product that protects purchasers from structural or waterproofing defects within the first 10 years after completion. Geron Property's adoption of the policy aligns with broader industry movement toward more rigorous assurances and supports buyer expectations around long-term asset performance.

Geron Property, led by Tom Zarimis, is intending on taking out the policy on its next project, a luxury development on Cronulla's Gerrale Street.

Zarimis appointed&nbsp;Adobe Property Agents to sell Jordan Hall Residences. There are just a handful of apartments remaining.

Our main focus at Hotspotting is identifying the future growth markets around Australia.
We also have an eye out for the danger markets, the ones we need to warn people about.
And sitting in the middle, between the growth regions and the declining ones, are the consistency markets: the locations which record a consistent rate of sale, quarter after quarter, year after year.
These locations represent safety for investors. They are usually not boom markets, but have the valuable quality of solidity.
And markets with this high level of even performance often have very good price growth over time.
Each edition of The Price Predictor Index lists the Top 50 Consistency Markets around Australia and we nominate one suburb or town as “The nation’s most consistent market”
Our award-winner in a recent edition, Ulladulla in regional NSW, recorded a 15% rise in its median price in the previous year.
The Spring 2017 edition winner, Echuca in regional Victoria, had a 7% annual rise in its median price, while in the Winter 2017 edition our “most consistent market” Sunbury in suburban Melbourne had a 10% annual increase.
In the new Winter 2018 edition, we’ve nominated Langwarrin as “The nation’s most consistent market”.
simply by attracting consistent demand from home buyers.
Another highly consistent locations around Australia include …
* Bathurst (median price $385,000) in regional NSW.
* Buderim ($620,000), the most popular suburb on the Sunshine Coast.
* Camp Hill (900,000), in Brisbane’s eastern suburbs.
* Echuca ($330,000), in regional Victoria.
* Frankston ($525,000), in the far south-east of Melbourne.
* Lara ($410,000), in the City of Greater Geelong.
* Parafield Gardens ($335,000), in the northern suburbs of Adelaide.
* Seven Hills ($790,000), in Blacktown City in Sydney.
They’re all places that attract steady sales demand, regardless of what’s going on in the broader market around them.
