Abadeen has released the whole-floor penthouse crowning its recently completed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/park-residences-cremorne-2-sutherland-street-cremorne-nsw-2090">Park Residences</a> development in Cremorne, bringing the near-300 sqm residence to market for the first time.

Occupying the entire top floor of the boutique Lower North Shore development, the penthouse includes 221 sqm of internal living and a 74 sqm wraparound terrace, with a prized north-facing aspect taking in views across Middle Harbour.

The residence has been completed and fully furnished following a collaboration between Abadeen Executive Chairman Justin Brown and internationally recognised interior designer Jack Freeman, Founder and Managing Director of FREEMAN &amp; CO.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a> and Freeman approached the penthouse as a finished home, sourcing furniture, artwork, lighting and objects from Australia and overseas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378718]

Pieces from Parisian design house Pierre Augustin Rose sit alongside contemporary artworks and bespoke lighting, with Freeman drawing on recent visits to PAD Paris and Salone del Mobile Milano for the final collection.

Brown said the aim was to create a penthouse that felt more like a large-scale private home than a traditional apartment.

"The experience begins the moment the lift doors open. You're welcomed into an elegant dining room before the home opens into an extraordinary living space framed by sun-drenched harbour views.

"Every time someone walks through the front door they pause. It's not just the view, it's the incredible sense of space, the warmth created by the northern sunlight that fills the interiors, and the way every room connects so effortlessly.

"It has all the proportions of a luxury home, while delivering the effortless lifestyle and personalised experience of living in a world-class six-star hotel, combined with the simplicity and convenience of apartment living."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378713]

A secure lift provides exclusive access to the penthouse level, opening to a dedicated arrival foyer and dining area before the residence expands into its main living and entertaining spaces.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing runs across the northern side of the home, connecting the interiors with the terrace and Middle Harbour outlook.

The penthouse also features a fireplace and substantial chef's kitchen, while the wraparound terrace has been designed to accommodate both everyday outdoor living and larger-scale entertaining.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378720]

Freeman said the interiors had been deliberately kept restrained to complement the scale, natural light and outlook already established by the architecture.

"The penthouse is a serene study in quiet luxury," Freeman said.

"The interior pairs soft, sculptural forms with warm timber, pale stone and a restrained neutral palette. Curated artwork and metallic accents add depth, while abundant natural light creates a calm, effortlessly refined atmosphere. In my world, less is always more."

Freeman said the approach was centred around collecting individual pieces rather than simply decorating the apartment.

"Every material, every object and every piece of furniture has been curated with intention. I am a true believer in collecting versus decorating.

"The architecture already provided extraordinary natural light, remarkable volume and an uninterrupted connection to Middle Harbour. Our role was to complement those qualities with unique one-of-a-kind pieces of fine art and collectible design sourced from recent travels around the world."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378694]

Among the collection are solid bronze sculptures by Lorenzo Quinn, alongside a curated crystalware collection and pieces sourced from international design fairs.

Park Residences sits opposite Cammeray Golf Club, Cammeray Croquet Club and Grand Slam Tennis Cammeray, around 300 metres from Neutral Bay Village and its established collection of restaurants, cafés and retail.

Brown said the combination of a whole-floor floorplan, northern aspect and proximity to Neutral Bay was becoming increasingly difficult to find on the Lower North Shore.

"Completed whole-floor penthouses with a sun-drenched north-facing aspect and sweeping Middle Harbour views are exceptionally rare," Brown said.

"Add a quiet position opposite golf, croquet and tennis facilities, a level walk to Neutral Bay Village and only minutes to the CBD, and you have a lifestyle that's incredibly difficult to replicate.

"This is a home that offers the privacy and generosity of a luxury residence together with the convenience of one of Sydney's best-connected harbourside locations."

The penthouse will be exclusively marketed by SRM Residential.

Abadeen unveils penthouse at Park Residences in Cremorne

New Brisbane developer Dalcott has unveiled Marrone, the first of three residential projects it is planning in and around Browning Street in South Brisbane.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marrone-south-brisbane-39-browning-street-south-brisbane-qld-4101">Marrone</a> will comprise 97 predominantly two- and three-bedroom apartments, with larger residences aimed squarely at the owner-occupier market.

The project will sit in a quiet pocket of South Brisbane between South Bank and West End, close to the restaurants, cultural attractions and riverfront amenity that have driven the suburb's continued transformation.

Dalcott is targeting buyers looking for more space and amenity than has traditionally been offered in the inner-city apartment market, particularly downsizers and professionals wanting to remain close to the city.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149951 project_image_fid=377072]

Resident facilities will be concentrated around an extensive rooftop amenity offering, including a swimming pool, spa, infrared sauna, warm and cold magnesium plunge pools, private lounge, dining room and outdoor entertaining areas.

Dalcott Managing Director Lachlan Cottee said South Brisbane's combination of lifestyle, connectivity and established character had been central to the approach to Marrone.

“South Brisbane offers a combination of lifestyle, connectivity and character that’s difficult to replicate elsewhere in Brisbane,” Cottee said.

“Our focus has been on creating homes that feel connected to that environment while providing the level of design, functionality and quality that today's owner-occupiers expect.”

The residences will feature an expressive material palette. Italian Calacatta Viola marble, known for its deep burgundy veining, will be paired with aged brass tapware, Chestnut engineered timber flooring and Tuscan Oak joinery.

<img alt="Marrone" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b8d833da-3b30-496a-ae30-07bdff371b50" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%2010.52.35%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=P6DAgOfaQzIXljKKK5j3e5NhWtrHIu9G" />

Bathrooms will feature Nara Japanese ceramics and glass bricks, while clay, walnut and brass lighting will be used throughout the apartments.

Dalcott has appointed Realm Projects, led by Managing Director Shane Foley, to handle sales and marketing following previous sold-out collaborations between the groups.

Foley said the Brisbane apartment buyer had become increasingly focused on the quality of the home itself rather than simply securing an inner-city address.

“We expect to see strong demand from buyers who still want all the advantages of inner-city living but aren’t prepared to compromise on the quality of their home,” Foley said.

“Many will be downsizers looking to leave behind the maintenance of a traditional family home without giving up the space they enjoy, while others are likely to be professionals wanting a residence that reflects the way they live today.”

“Marrone responds directly to that demand, with generous floorplans, exceptional resident amenity and a location that places some of Brisbane’s best dining, entertainment and cultural attractions within walking distance.”

<img alt="Marrone" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="61f7b22f-899e-4c0f-940a-7d3ab1bfb93a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%2010.52.44%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=PvN1JYxBgUpyCB7efKo52WGdSDs9nmim" />

Marrone will be the first project delivered as part of Dalcott's broader investment in the precinct.

It will be followed by La Terra, a boutique project comprising penthouse-style, single-level apartments on a northeast corner site with extensive resident amenity and city views.

Cottee said Marrone represented the first stage of the group's longer-term plans for the area.

Dalcott was established in 2025 by Lachlan Cottee and Ben Dalgliesh, combining development and construction capability under an integrated model and focusing on architecturally considered residential projects.

Marrone will initially be offered through a pre-release registration campaign ahead of its broader public launch.

Dalcott targets owner-occupiers with South Brisbane debut Marrone

Parnell Developments is the latest to seek significant uplift through the NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority on a Strathfield site previously approved for a much smaller apartment development.

Parnell has sought approval for a 32-storey mixed use tower across&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/7-lyons-street-strathfield-nsw-2135">3-7 Lyons Street and 18 Parnell Street</a>, a&nbsp;1,857 sqm site around 400 metres from Strathfield Station. The building would yield 160 apartments, 15 per cent of which will be dedicated affordable as per the government mandate for buildings seeking additional uplift.

Approved previously was a nine-storey building back in 2022 with just over 30 apartments. That approval came prior to the project being&nbsp;progressively reconsidered as planning policy shifted toward greater density around transport hubs.

<img alt="Strathfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c5af5281-a643-4eb2-b8c4-0081b59c04c7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.16.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=37bd3mI7rHNpThOV_75VO8xsGFwWOi1u" />

Turner has designed the latest building that would replace&nbsp;existing detached homes across the four lots.

The apartment mix comprises 22 one-bedroom apartments, 107 two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus configurations, and 31 apartments with three or more bedrooms. The scheme also includes 203 car spaces across six basement levels and 58 bicycle spaces.

The proposal has been designed around a three-storey podium addressing Lyons Street, with the tower rising above and stepping toward its upper levels.

Turner said the podium was deliberately scaled to respond to the existing street, while the taller element has been designed as part of the emerging skyline anticipated around Strathfield Town Centre and the wider Homebush transport-oriented development precinct.

The Lyons Street frontage would have a more active, pedestrian-focused character, incorporating the commercial tenancy, landscaping and a brick-framed podium with an awning.

<img alt="Strathfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="14b20874-b8c3-4ac7-bc03-92be9a69fb78" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.17.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=av.9TxtqIRTC6v3PkSuu1rL9rreWoe2h" />

Parnell Street, which faces the railway corridor, has been given a different architectural treatment, with double-height breeze blocks, landscaping and communal areas used to soften the interface with the rail infrastructure.

The tower itself uses curved and recessed facade elements, with wave-like indentations across the northern elevation breaking the building into three vertical forms.

A palette of grey concrete, brick and breeze blocks is complemented by clay and terracotta accents, while the upper tower adopts a lighter expression through articulated slab edges, vertical fins and recessed glazing.

Residents would have access to 467 sqm of communal open space spread across three levels. The ground floor would accommodate the more active resident areas, including barbecue and group gathering spaces and an internal communal room capable of being used for working from home.

A more passive viewing deck is proposed at level three, overlooking the ground-level landscaping and neighbouring tennis courts, while a rooftop "sunset deck" at level 30 would provide another social and relaxation space.

<img alt="Parnell" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c3dce401-a80f-4682-8471-4caa01180880" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.17.34%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Xyo8JVqbOhSJXNy6Ih.1cHL.O6i0bGR." />

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Strathfield has been earmarked for substantial change through the Strathfield Town Centre planning work and the nearby Homebush TOD precinct.

Turner's report says the project has been designed to act as a transition between the existing low and mid-rise development surrounding the site and the taller built form expected to emerge across the town centre.

The proposal is being assessed as State Significant Development under the HDA pathway, alongside the concurrent request to amend the Burwood Local Environmental Plan.

First look: New apartment tower pitched for Strathfield Town Centre precinct

An $18 million penthouse has hit the market in Main Beach as construction tops out on La Mer, the $155 million apartment development rising just metres from the beach.

Spanning around 600 sqm across the top two levels of the 29-storey tower on Main Beach Parade, the four-bedroom penthouse is one of the latest eight-figure residences to test the upper end of the Gold Coast apartment market.

Its launch comes amid continued activity at the very top of the market, following the $30 million off-the-plan sale of a Burleigh Heads penthouse earlier this year, which surpassed the Gold Coast's previous $24 million apartment record set in 2023.

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/la-mer-main-beach-3580-main-beach-parade-main-beach-qld-4217">La Mer penthouse</a> has been designed as a private residence in the sky, with 360-degree views spanning the ocean, Broadwater, hinterland and Gold Coast skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378731]

All four bedrooms have ensuites, while the ocean-facing master retreat occupies around half of the upper level and includes its own lounge, private balcony, two walk-in wardrobes and an oversized ensuite with a freestanding stone bath positioned to take in the views.

The residence also features a kitchen designed to accommodate a private chef, a 3.6-metre island bench, expansive butler's pantry, wine cellar and integrated bar.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378732]

A rooftop pool and substantial outdoor entertaining area with its own kitchen sit above the residence, while a grand staircase connects the two internal levels. The penthouse also has its own express lift.

OTP Group Director James Elliott, who is marketing La Mer, said the penthouse was expected to appeal to high-net-worth buyers seeking either a permanent Main Beach residence or Gold Coast holiday home.

“The La Mer penthouse represents exceptional value, considering its quality design, size, privacy and location, not to mention the 360-degree views capturing the beach and Gold Coast Broadwater,” Elliott said.

“We’re anticipating interest from high-net-worth individuals and couples seeking a residence or holiday home in the sought-after village enclave of Main Beach, taking advantage of the unprecedented growth underway in the area and neighbouring The Spit.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378736]

La Mer is being developed by developer-builder ODUS and Nazero, in partnership with funder Metrics Credit Partners.

ODUS Director Byron Sakha said topping out the tower had provided the opportunity to release the project's most significant residence.

“We’ve worked with internationally-recognised studio Sici Design on the penthouse interiors, with a focus on ensuring it isn’t luxury for luxury’s sake. Every element has been thoughtfully designed to enhance quality of life for those who call it home,” Sakha said.

“The views are the hero of virtually every space, but we’ve given equal attention to the fittings and finishes, so every detail exudes elegance and refinement.”

Sici Design Founder and Director Maria Papadopoulos said the extensive views became an integral part of the interior design rather than simply something the residence was designed around.

“The views weren't something we designed around, they became part of the design itself, with the true luxury of La Mer in its feeling of peace, calm and wellbeing,” Papadopoulos said.

“Luxury isn't defined by how something looks, but how it makes you feel, and we believe a luxurious home should be beautiful to live in, not stressful to maintain.”

The interiors combine Austral Dream Dolomite natural stone and travertine with timber flooring and a restrained coastal palette.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378734]

Designed by Plus Studio, La Mer is one of the more boutique additions to the rapidly changing Main Beach apartment market.

The tower comprises just 24 full-floor, three-bedroom plus multipurpose room apartments below the two-level penthouse, giving the project a considerably lower density than many of the larger towers being developed across the Gold Coast.

Residents will have access to a pool and spa, gym, sauna, barbecue facilities, private sun lounges, yoga lawn and outdoor beach shower.

The penthouse has been released as part of the final collection of residences at La Mer, with remaining apartments priced from $4.3 million.

Construction is expected to complete later this year, with a fully furnished display apartment now open on level four.

ODUS releases $18 million penthouse crowning La Mer Main Beach

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/far-east-consortium">Far East Consortium</a> is preparing to commence construction on <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/640-bourke-street-melbourne-640-bourke-street-melbourne-vic-3000">640 Bourke Street</a> this October, marking the next milestone for the Melbourne CBD development and its higher-end Eliza Collection.

Spanning levels 44 to 68 of the 68-storey <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>-designed tower, the Eliza Collection has been conceived as a lower-density offering within the broader development, with only five apartments on each floor, dedicated lift access and a collection of resident spaces reserved exclusively for Eliza Collection residents.

The Eliza Collection forms part of Far East Consortium's broader move toward larger-format residences at 640 Bourke Street, where the number of apartments was reduced from earlier plans as apartment sizes increased.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365685]

"What it's meant for 640 Bourke is we've actually reduced the number of apartments. We've increased the overall size of the apartments. We don't have any studios in here, and what that does for a project is it elevates it," Far East Consortium Director of Sales and Marketing Lauren Sheldon said.

Rothelowman Associate Jun Chang said the design process provided an opportunity to create more generous floorplans.

"We were given the opportunity to be more generous. The apartments became bigger and squarer than any other apartments which had been designed in the CBD before that."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=368869]

That thinking carries through to the Eliza Collection, where the residences have been designed around the space and functionality associated with a larger home, but positioned high above the centre of Melbourne.

Kitchens are equipped with Gaggenau appliances, a butler's pantry, temperature-controlled wine cabinet and sculptural pendant lighting, while engineered timber flooring, stone and porcelain finishes and custom cabinetry feature throughout the broader interiors.

Privacy and security are another point of distinction. Eliza Collection residents have dedicated lift access, while 640 Bourke Street will provide concierge services and secure resident parking. Short-stay accommodation, including Airbnb, will not be permitted within the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365689]

Eliza Collection residents will also have exclusive access to selected amenity spaces across levels one and three of the restored Eliza Tinsley building. These include the Salon with grand piano, an art therapy room, private dining rooms and treatment rooms.

They sit within more than 3,000 sqm of amenity planned across 640 Bourke Street, alongside facilities including a pool, gym, whisky lounge and further social and wellness spaces.

The Eliza Tinsley building itself is central to the wider project's identity. Rather than treating the existing Eliza Tinsley façade as a separate element, Rothelowman used it as a starting point for the architecture of the new tower, with the historic building to accommodate the project's gallery and lobby.

"It's a significant asset and wants to be celebrated and experienced by all residents every single time they go in and out of the building," Rothelowman Principal Stuart Marsland said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=368872]

The tower will rise behind the retained heritage building at 640 Bourke Street, placing residents within walking distance of Southern Cross Station, Flagstaff Gardens, Queen Victoria Market and the Docklands waterfront.

With construction scheduled to begin in October, Far East Consortium has established an onsite display gallery at 640 Bourke Street, including fully built apartments that allow the project's layouts, materials and finishes to be inspected at full scale.

A fully built Eliza Collection apartment is also available to view at the display suite by appointment ahead of the planned October construction commencement.

Eligible purchasers who buy before construction commences can secure the full available off-the-plan stamp duty savings, subject to eligibility and applicable conditions.

Far East Consortium brings Eliza Collection to 640 Bourke Street ahead of October construction start

Lindfield

A groundbreaking ceremony has recently been held at the $180 million Lindfield project, Balfour Place, signifying the beginning of construction with demolition works wrapping up.&nbsp;

Australian developers Third.i, in conjunction with joint venture partner Phoenix Property Investors, are behind Balfour Place, which will comprise 59 apartments on top of 4,500 sqm of retail and hospitality spaces, including a brand new Coles supermarket.

The project launched in April 2022, selling out within a matter of weeks. Construction is expected to be complete by January 2025.&nbsp;

It recently won the Best Mixed Use Development of The Year at the&nbsp;2022 PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112016 project_image_fid=194989]

On the award win, Luke Berry, Third.i. Co-Founder, said the development had struck a chord with the Lindfield community.&nbsp;

“Balfour Place is truly at heart of what we do and a true example of how we’re building communities by listening to the needs of the market,” Berry said.

“The level of design and architecture has been carefully curated and I think it’s struck a chord with buyers who have recognised that we had larger living spaces on offer in an idyllic location with lifestyle amenities on your doorstep.

“It truly will be a legacy destination for the area and we couldn’t be more thrilled to commence construction."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112016 project_image_fid=194990]

Australian builder Conquest has been appointed as the project builders, with Balfour Place adding to their project portfolio which includes the Crowne Plaza Sydney Burwood, The Greens Strathfield, La Luna Burwood and Soho Burwood.

First home buyers and young families are among those set to call Balfour Place home.

With a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom residential apartments, residents will benefit from private courtyards and a shared rooftop garden space to be built on top of a brand new large format Coles supermarket.The Coles grocery hub will be double the size of the existing store and will include a Liqourland and heritage commercial space fronting the Pacific Highway.

Over 230 car parking spaces will also be available spanning across two levels.

The apartments were reduced from 70 to 59, after Third.i's research suggested there was more appetite for larger apartments.

Construction commences at Thirdi's sold-out Lindfield apartments, Balfour Place 

Following its full project sell-out amid commencing construction just last month, Third.i’s $180 million project, Balfour Place has taken home the win for two awards at this year’s PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards.

The Lindfield project was officially named the Best Low Rise Mixed Use Development of 2022 along with receiving the country award for Best Mixed Use Development (Australia) in the grand final.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112016 project_image_fid=194986]

The award-winning project sold over $100 million in sales in its launch weekend alone, shortly securing the final sales thereafter to achieve its sell-out status.

After conducting market research and listening to the needs of the community, Third.i reduced the number of apartments on its development application as there was high demand for spacious living arrangements.&nbsp;

As a result, apartment numbers were dropped from 70 to 59, with the residences set to sit atop a new 4,500 sqm Coles Supermarket, a cafe and a heritage building that will be restored and leased as a commercial office space and beauty offering.

Balfour Place comprises a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments with sweeping views to the south-west, topped by a residents-only rooftop garden with communal facilities and a central podium courtyard with fresh greenery.

Construction crews have now kick-started works to bring the award-winner to fruition, with Australian builder Conquest appointed to the build, with completion slated for November 2024.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112016 project_image_fid=194987]

Third.i. Co-Founder, Luke Berry said Balfour Place is a prime example of how the group is building communities that align with the needs of the market.&nbsp;

“The level of design and architecture has been carefully curated and I think it’s struck a chord with buyers who have recognised that we had larger living spaces on offer in an idyllic location&nbsp; with lifestyle amenities on your doorstep," he said.

“It truly will be a legacy destination for the area and we couldn’t be more thrilled to commence construction,” concluded Berry.

Balfour Place named best mixed-use development at PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards

Construction on Lindfield’s latest destination by developers Third.i, in conjunction with joint venture partner Phoenix Property Investors, has officially kick-started works this week, following a full project sell-out as demand for larger living spaces continues to grow.&nbsp;

Demolition crews have moved in on the $180 million Balfour Place site, set to bring 59 apartments to Sydney’s Upper North Shore, which will be grounded by an urban oasis comprising over 7,091 sqm of retail and hospitality spaces.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112016 project_image_fid=207651]

The project has been met with a swarm of eager buyers looking to secure their slice of Lindfield, acquiring over $100 million in sales since its launch to market earlier this year. The project, which is set to be built on the existing Coles supermarket site, is estimated to fast-track the development timeline, with construction expected to be completed by November 2024.&nbsp;

Australian builder Conquest has been appointed as the project builders, set to bring Balfour Place to life, adding to an impressive project portfolio of over 2,000 properties, including the Crowne Plaza Sydney Burwood, The Greens Strathfield, La Luna Burwood and Soho Burwood.

Third.i. Co-Founder, Luke Berry said Balfour Place has struck a chord with the Lindfield community and surrounding areas, with the project accommodating the growing need for spacious living.&nbsp;

“Our project provides larger living spaces in an idyllic location with lifestyle amenities at your doorstep,” Berry said.

“We’re proud to announce a project sell-out and that we’ve fast-tracked construction to help meet market demands. Conquest, who are well renowned for delivering buildings of exceptional quality, have been bought on board to deliver Balfour Place.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112016 project_image_fid=194987]

“It truly will be a legacy destination for the area and we couldn’t be more thrilled to commence construction,” concluded Berry.&nbsp;

The latest offering will comprise a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments with private courtyards and a shared rooftop garden space to be built on top of a brand new large format Coles supermarket.

$180 million Lindfield residences, Balfour Place commences construction amid project sell-out

North Sydney&rsquo;s latest luxury apartment project by developer&nbsp;Third.i and Phoenix Property Investors (PPI), has knocked over sales of 58 of its 59 apartments at its weekend launch, securing close to $100 million in sales in just three days amid scarce supply and increasing demand for larger living.

Only one apartment remains up for grabs as eager buyers pounced on the $102 million Balfour Place, following a flood of enquiries from the local market and over 300 appointments booked in during the VIP launch weekend.

After receiving over 1500 plus enquiries last month, the remaining apartments are projected to be snapped up quickly.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112016 project_image_fid=194989]

The project, which is set to be built on the existing Coles supermarket site, will be grounded by an urban oasis encompassing over 7091 sqm of retail and hospitality space, in a bid to help ease the increasing demand for larger apartment living, adding to Third.i&rsquo;s growing portfolio of quality developments tailored towards meeting the needs of the market.

Third.i&rsquo;s Co-Founder and Director of Sales and Marketing, Luke Berry, said the sales result is indicative of Lindfield&rsquo;s much needed revitalization, off the back of skyrocketing interest for larger apartment living.

&nbsp;

&ldquo;We are just absolutely ecstatic with the sales result our team procured over the weekend. It&rsquo;s a true testament to the quality of the project, the calibre of our consultants and we couldn&rsquo;t be happier,&rdquo; said Berry.

&ldquo;Each floor plan is tailored to cater to that need of larger living spaces we&rsquo;re seeing in the industry now and is clearly in scarce supply. When we began working on the design brief with PPI and Coles Group, we immediately identified there was an opportunity to improve the residential elements of the development application to re-imagine the apartment layouts to create a mix of much larger apartments not typically seen in developments of this size.&rdquo;

&ldquo;We truly wanted to tap into that need for larger living spaces for downsizers and young families and we couldn&rsquo;t be happier to have finally shared what we&rsquo;ve created with a new breadth of buyers this weekend. With Balfour Place, you will have everything you need at your doorstep. To be just a lift ride away from fresh food and produce, a barista brewed coffee and your favourite bottle of wine is the epitome of apartment living and that&rsquo;s exactly what we will be delivering with this project,&rdquo; he added.

Marking the fourth joint venture project between Third.i and PPI, the latest luxury offering will comprise a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom residential apartments with private courtyards and a luxe rooftop garden to be built on top of a brand-new large format Coles supermarket; which will be double the size of its existing predecessor, a Liqourland and heritage commercial space fronting the Pacific Highway and overlooking the Blue Mountains.

Construction of the DA approved site is well underway with the second stage of construction due to start in July/August this year, off the back of Third.i&rsquo;s proposal to reduce the number of apartments from 70 to 59, in an effort to deliver less impact on neighbours and the wider community.

Third.i’s Co-Founder and Director of Sales and Marketing, Luke Berry, said the sales result is indicative of Lindfield’s much needed revitalization, off the back of skyrocketing interest for larger apartment living.



Third.i's Balfour Place in Lindfield nets record sales weekend

The Sydney property developer Third.i, along with their joint venture partner Phoenix Property Investors, are joining forces with Coles Group to create Balfour Place, a mixed-use precinct in Lindfield on Sydney&#39;s lower north shore.

The mixed-use residential, retail and commercial precinct will span over 7,000 sqm and will see 62&nbsp;apartments built on top of a&nbsp;large format Coles supermarket,&nbsp;Liquorland, caf&eacute;, and a heritage commercial space fronting Pacific Highway.

Residents having access to a private courtyard and rooftop gardens.

It&#39;s the third time Third.i and PPI have worked together, having previously had huge success at the luxury Kurraba Residences, as well as the commercial precinct Blue &amp; William in North Sydney.

Thirdi Group Director &amp; Co-Founder, Luke Berry, said that his company and PPI were thrilled to be working alongside Coles Group, community stakeholders and Ku-ring-gai Council to finalise a shared vision for the site before a planned sales launch of the project later this year.&nbsp;

&ldquo;When Third.i started working with Coles, we quickly identified there was an opportunity to improve the residential elements of the DA, so with the support of Coles and award-winning architects Rothelowman, we re-imagined the apartment layouts and created a mix of larger apartments, perfect for the downsizer and young families we see as the likely purchasers of our apartments,&quot; Berry said.

Third.i&rsquo;s proposal is to reduce the numbers of apartments from 70 to 62 to offer more space to residents and deliver less impact on neighbours and the community. Third.i is finalising their modification of the existing DA and plan to submit to council in early October and start the second stage of construction in the 1st quarter of 2022.

Stage 1 of construction has already commenced with Coles Group managing the realignment of Balfour Lane at the rear of the proposed site before handing over the delivery of the mixed-use development to Third.i.&nbsp;

CBRE has been appointed as the lead agent to market the development and sales director, Ben Stewart said that exceptional convenience will underpin Balfour Place residences, with location amongst its strongest selling points.

&ldquo;The latest offering by Thirdi Group has it all in terms of proximity to a train station and quality schools, as well as being positioned in a highly coveted north shore suburb, where new apartment developments are scarce, particularly for downsizers,&rdquo; Stewart said.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Our market research has indicated that demand for high-end, conveniently located new apartments in the area is strong, with almost all initial inquiries coming from local residents.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Further to this, studies show that &lsquo;shop top&rsquo; developments like Balfour Place achieve an average 16% premium on prices compared to suburb averages so we see this project offering a similar dynamic to purchasers that secure an apartment early in the launch.

&ldquo;As with all Thirdi Group projects, the utmost consideration will be placed on delivering luxuriously appointed, high-end residences with beautifully landscaped gardens and an outstanding lifestyle offering and this is what purchasers should expect with Balfour Place.&quot;

A $12 million Lindfield listing comes with an indoor slide from its three upstairs bedrooms to the rear open foyer.
Offers close with McGrath on October 29 for the Luigi Roselli designed offering.
The Mackenzie St home with its internal stainless steel slippery slide next to its staircase was rebuilt after its $3.7 million sale in 2013 to the Johnson family.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2020/10/9/Lindfield%202.png" alt="">
It is owned by Lucie Johnson.
Set in 3,115 sqm Dangar Baron Smith-designed gardens, the five bedroom home was constructed through rammed earth, behind a Federation facade.
The living and dining zones are separated by a two way Cheminess Philippe fireplace, and there's sandblasted Levante Marble floors and underfloor heating throughout.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2020/10/9/lindfield%203.png" alt="">
In the grounds is a built in barbecue and pizza oven, a swimming pool with accompanying poolside gym and a veggie garden. 
There's approved plans for rear self-contained accomodation.
It has had 2,466 page views in its first day on the realestate.com.au website.
The home sale will almost double Lindfield’s $6.75 million residential house price record which Ray White agent Lisa Davies recently set on nearby Northcote Rd.

$12 million Lindfield home with indoor slippery slide from upstairs bedrooms to foyer

On Friday night Ray White Upper North Shore agent Lisa Davies broke the Lindfield suburb record with the sale of 9 Northcote Road to an overseas buyer in Hong Kong after an inspection via Facetime.
The five bedroom grand Federation property sold within two weeks of Ms Davies putting it online, having last traded for $4.45 million in 2008.
“There is such a limited amount of stock on the market but there’s definitely a lot of buyers looking. You simply cannot sell a secret,” Ms Davies said.
“You have to put it out there if you are selling. There’s huge demand from overseas buyers right now. This is the second property over $6 million that I have sold in the last three weeks to an overseas buyer. There’s a huge appetite for high end prestige homes."
The record breaking sale has now broken the top residential sale record in the suburb of Lindfield which stood at $6 million.
The Lindfield sale comes on the back of a similar successful campaign. Less than three weeks ago, Ms Davies sold a multi-million dollar house in nearby Killara, sight effectively unseen, to a buyer in Taipei via a Facetime inspection.
“After many hours on the phone over the Easter weekend I negotiated a sale price of $6.3 million for 23 Elva St Killara which was well above where the vendors thought the property may sell and reflective of prices we were seeing earlier in the year.”
The 1903 Lindfield home is set high in a prestigious east-side setting, which offers a spectacular lifestyle with proportions of living that are reserved for only the most remarkable of residences.
With its gated entry and substantial 1707 sqm block, pool and tennis court, the home is beautifully finished.
Bespoke interiors feature every luxury extra including a gym, wine cellar and decadent whole floor master retreat.

Poly Australia secured deposits on 30 of 67 apartments offered last weekend in Lindfield in their highly anticipated boutique development, Tilia by Poly.
The apartments in the heart of the north shore suburb were popular among local buyers, particularly downsizers, said Poly Australia sales and marketing director Jay Carter. 
“For a small scale luxury suburban development, there has been considerable interest," said Carter,
The three bedroom apartments at Tilia by Poly start at $1,630,000 and have sold well, he said.

Developer Greaton has purchased three adjoining land parcels in Sydney's North Shore suburb of Lindfield with a total size of 9,120 sqm.
Development approvals for 43 luxury townhouses and two free-standing homes esigned by Sydney architects Rothelowman on the site, 16 – 18 Beaconsfield Parade, have been lodged.
Council approval for stage one is expected in the second quarter of 2017. The development is expected to cost over $100 million.
 Nicho Teng, managing director of Greaton said they saw this site as a great opportunity to enter the exclusive North Shore market.
“Downsizers and young growing families from the North Shore area are expected to primarily purchase in this project," he said.
"It is our view that luxury townhouses will appeal to these markets as they are looking for something larger than apartment living and also enjoy private courtyards and gardens.
“It made smart business sense to expand the company’s presence into the North Shore area which is well established. We are currently creating beautiful liveable communities across Australia.
"The Lindfield development further expands our growing property footprint in Sydney. We are looking for more investment opportunities in the area.”
Stage one is expected to be released in Spring 2017.
