National property developer Goldfields has secured permit approval and appointed Victorian residential builder Ironside to begin work on The Brightly, an 11-storey, wellness and lifestyle-focused mixed-use development in Richmond.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/goldfields-group">Goldfields</a> has partnered with Dexus Real Estate Partnership Fund 1 (DREP 1) as co-investor and delivery partner in the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-brightly-9-15-brighton-street-richmond-vic-3121">Brighton Street project</a>.

With architecture and interiors by design practice Cera Stribley, The Brightly will feature 100 apartments, a resident-only wellness space, elevated dining experiences including a private dining room and a rooftop garden lounge, and ground-floor retail designed to integrate with Richmond’s local character.

The wellness space will feature a hot magnesium pool, cold plunge, steam room, sauna, and a vitamin-infused drinking station for refreshment and rehydration.

The Brightly’s focus on wellness extends to the rooftop landscaped by award-winning landscape architect Jack Merlo. It will feature canopied retreats and panoramic views of the Melbourne CBD and Richmond Hill treetops. Residents can also host guests with a private bookable dining space on the rooftop garden lounge and an indoor option on the first level.

Cera Stribley’s architectural vision drew inspiration from the surrounding area, using the flowing form of the train lines to shape the façade and create a dialogue between the building and Richmond’s rich history. The design features a four-level podium lined with lush greenery, honouring the suburb’s character and streetscape through its scale and materials.

There will be a choice&nbsp;of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, along with 19 exclusive sub-penthouses and penthouses, for prospective purchasers.

Lachlan Thompson, Goldfields’ CEO, said The Brightly will define a new kind of urban luxury for Inner East living.

“By drawing on Richmond’s vibrant mix of culture and hospitality, we’ve combined a lifestyle centred on wellness,” Thompson said.

“Its proximity to Melbourne's sports and entertainment precinct, the CBD, parks, and public transport makes it a prime location for both young professionals and those seeking a lifestyle change. What we’ve created is something remarkable - it’s real, it's Richmond, and it’s refined."

Dexus Real Estate Partnership Fund 1 Fund Manager, Jason Howes, said the Brightly is a high-quality investment in a high demand area with limited residential stock expected to be added in the coming years.

“Partnering with Goldfields, we are delivering a project that will redefine lifestyle focused urban living, offering residents exceptional design and amenities in one of Melbourne's most vibrant suburbs,” he said.

Onsite demolition is underway, with construction set to commence in April 2026 and completion targeted for late 2027. The Brightly will launch to market in mid-2026.

Goldfields greenlit for The Brightly, Richmond apartment development

The Allan Labor Government has revealed the remaining 23&nbsp;Train and Tram Zone Activity Centres as part of their plan to try and encourage development around some of Melbourne's most connected suburbs.

The new zones includes&nbsp;four smaller ‘neighbourhood centres’ to plan for more modest growth.

<ul>
	<li>Five are connected to the new Metro Tunnel and are now experiencing more services: Caulfield, Springvale, Noble Park, Yarraman (neighbourhood centre), and Dandenong stations.</li>
	<li>Eight are along the Frankston Line, which has recently returned to the City Loop: Hawksburn, Toorak (Beatty Avenue), Armadale (High Street), Malvern (Glenferrie Road), Glen Huntly, Ormond, Bentleigh, and Mentone stations</li>
	<li>Four are along the Sandringham Line, which will see an increase in services later this year: South Yarra, Prahran, Windsor and Elsternwick stations</li>
	<li>Three are on the Belgrave/Lilydale Line and benefit from five-minute peak services on average between Ringwood and the city: Blackburn, Nunawading, and Mitcham stations</li>
	<li>Two neighbourhood centres on the Alamein Line: Ashburton Station, plus a combined centre for the two closest stations on the metropolitan network Riversdale &amp; Willison stations</li>
	<li>One neighbourhood centre, Toorak Village, is a built-up area along the Route 58 tram.</li>
</ul>

The <a href="https://spatial.planning.vic.gov.au/activitycentre/">draft maps</a> will now be subject to detailed community consultation.

A similar process occurred for the first 10 pilot Activity Centres, with clear changes made as a direct result of this community consultation.

Read more:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/vic/50-new-train-and-tram-zone-activity-centres-to-encourage-new-apartment-development-across-melbourne">50 new ‘train and tram zone’ activity centres to encourage new apartment development across Melbourne</a>

The final train and tram zones will set clear expectations on where new homes can go, cutting out delays, uncertainty and red tape and getting homes off the ground. The remaining two in inner-Melbourne that cover the entire Local Government Areas of Melbourne and Yarra, will go through a separate process.

In the immediate ‘core’ the plans allow for more homes in taller apartment buildings.&nbsp;Some cores have heights of six storeys, while others have up to 20 storeys, only when it is in line with those councils’ planning work.

Eligible buildings across the core will be ‘deemed to comply’ with planning rules and be exempt from VCAT review. Applications in the core that exceed the specified height of the site are not eligible for this fast-tracked pathway.

In the walkable catchments that surround the core, the plans propose gentler height limits and more low-rise apartments and townhouses. Heritage and landscape overlays will stay in place.

Inner catchments, representing up to a five-minute walk from the station or centre, propose limits of four storeys, or six storeys on larger blocks of more than 1,000 sqm, while outer catchments, representing up to a 10-minute walk from the station or centre, propose limits of three storeys, or four storeys on larger blocks of more than 1,000 sqm.

By 2051, train and tram zones will help deliver more than 300,000 new homes, with final plans for all 50 new centres expected to be completed by mid this year.

“We want more Victorians to have the opportunity to live close to public transport, their loved ones, and the things that matter to them,"&nbsp;Minister for Planning Sonya Kilkenny said.

“Whether it’s making it easier to build homes close to public transport, townhouses in our inner suburbs, or family homes with a backyard, our planning reforms are all about giving more Victorians real housing choice.

“While we’re focused on giving more young Victorians the opportunity to have a home of their own, the Liberals are blocking them from being built. They oppose more homes near transport, jobs and services.”

Glen Waverley’s housing shortage is set to be closed by 50 per cent with the approval of 795 new apartments which will rise from a former carp park in the heart of the suburb.

The plans, lodged by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sunkin-property-group">Sunkin Property Group</a> and now approved by the Victorian State Government Development Facilitation Program, will transform the 6,114 sqm carpark at 281 Springvale Road, into an $800 million, mixed-use residential and commercial development in the metropolitan activity centre.&nbsp;

“281 Springvale Road has received planning approval for a mixed-use, high-density development that will provide much needed homes in Melbourne’s middle-ring suburbs, including affordable housing," Sunkin's GM of Property and Development Lloyd Collins says.

"We worked closely with key stakeholders, the Department of Transport and Planning, Suburban Rail Loop Authority and Monash City Council to achieve an integrated design with an activated retail ground level that will add to the success of Glen Waverley.

Glen Waverley’s population is projected to grow by 9 per cent by 2031, with an additional 1,600 dwellings required to &nbsp;service the area.

Around 1,000 sqm of the former carpark has been retained by Monash City Council for a new Civic Plaza, creating a central meeting point and public transport link for the local community. &nbsp;

Sunkin Property Group acquired the site from Monash City Council in 2024. The site will remain open as a public carpark until development commences.

$800 million, 800-unit development permit fast-tracked for Glen Waverley carpark

UAE developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/arada">Arada</a> is continuing to unveil its billions of dollars of residential development it is set to deliver in Australia.

Following on its plans for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/arada-pitches-castle-hill-apartment-plans-ahead-of-2026-launch">431 apartments in Castle Hill</a>&nbsp;and the 2025 bail-out of construction firm Roberts &amp; Co so it can build its own developments, Arada&nbsp;has sought the NSW Government's approval for three towers in the Campsie town centre.

The project, dubbed One Campsie, has been designed by Woods Bagot and will deliver 346 apartments to Beamish Street across three interconnected towers rising 24, 32, and 39 storeys.

According to the Woods Bagot Architectural Design Report, the design seeks to “redefine the urban experience of a rapidly transforming town centre,” delivering housing above an activated ground plane that integrates civic and commercial uses. The design adopts a three-part vertical composition, stepping and articulating the tower to reduce visual bulk and respond to its varied urban interfaces.

<img alt="First Look: Arada unveils 39-storey mixed-use tower for Campsie town centre in State Significant Development bid" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f515807f-7277-4ea5-8b2b-a5718514f30a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campsie%20podium.png?VersionId=J3oSJpOvye8gpg1kjagODjdhOb0Cl28I" />

At street level, the scheme places significant emphasis on public domain upgrades. A new civic plaza is proposed opposite the Orion Theatre, alongside a landscaped pocket park and a through-site pedestrian link connecting Beamish Street to Campsie Street and Ninth Avenue. The Urban Design Justification Report states that the proposal “builds on Council’s Master Plan by applying a place-led urban design framework that responds to the site’s unique conditions and enhances pedestrian experience and public benefit.”

The documents note that the development aligns with the Master Plan’s intensification strategy for sites within walking distance of the Metro station, while seeking to retain solar access to key public spaces. As outlined in the Urban Design Report, the proposal delivers “intensification within walking distance of the Metro Station while retaining solar access to key parks."

Woods Bagot’s design narrative also draws on local history and Aboriginal cultural context. The Architectural Design Report references engagement with Wangal Country and the Cooks River landscape, seeking to embed a connection to Country through material selection, planting, and public art integration. The broader vision, as described in the report, is to create a building that functions as a “community catalyst, not only as a place to live, but as a vibrant destination for work and play that brings people together, supports local culture, and contributes meaningfully to the civic identity of Campsie.”

Located at 124–142 Beamish Street and 16–18 Ninth Avenue, the site occupies a key stretch of Beamish Street, Campsie’s traditional high street, characterised by fine-grain retail, multicultural dining, and proximity to civic infrastructure including the Orion Theatre and Canterbury Civic Centre. The proposed civic plaza and pocket park aim to strengthen this interface, formalising connections between retail frontages, public transport, and community facilities.

If approved, One Campsie would mark one of the tallest and most ambitious additions to the suburb’s skyline, reflecting the broader shift toward higher-density living around transport nodes in Sydney’s middle-ring centres.

Syd​ney builder-developer Scion has lodged a State Significant Development Application (SSDA) for a 22-storey mixed-use tower at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/96-anzac-avenue-west-ryde-nsw-2114">96 Anzac Avenue, West Ryde</a>, marking a significant step in the transformation of the Victoria Road gateway precinct.

Designed by Turner, the proposal would replace an ageing two-storey commercial building with 145 apartments and 29 co-living rooms, above ground-floor retail and three basement levels of parking.

The 3,149 sqm site sits just 150 metres from West Ryde train station, at the edge of the suburb’s retail core and diagonally opposite Anzac Park. It occupies a prominent corner with frontages to both Anzac Avenue and Victoria Road, positioning it as a key transition point between established residential neighbourhoods and the commercial centre.

The scheme is being advanced under the Housing Delivery Authority pathway as a State Significant Development, alongside a concurrent rezoning to lift the site’s height and floor space ratio controls.

Turner says in the Architectural Design Report that the proposal "responds to a unique opportunity to support the revitalisation of West Ryde through the delivery of a landmark development that combines high-quality residential offerings with enhanced public realm and active ground plane uses.”

Scion will be pushing height almost five times higher than what had been pitched for the site before.

Turner says the increased scale aligns with Council’s strategic direction for the precinct, including the West Ryde Town Centre Revitalisation Strategy (2019), the Draft Masterplan (2021), and the West Ryde–Meadowbank Renewal Strategy (2023).

“The increased height and density proposed aligns with Council’s evolving strategic direction for the precinct, as outlined in the Draft Revitalisation Strategy (2019), the 2021 Draft Masterplan, and the broader West Ryde–Meadowbank Renewal Strategy (2023), which collectively call for higher density, transit-oriented development and design excellence."

Turner describes the vision as establishing “a contemporary, mixed-use development that contributes positively to the West Ryde town centre.”

<img alt="West Ryde" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c5c22c11-92b8-4ca6-b77b-b5848ae0176d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-02-12%20at%202.41.34%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=aom0z8azYDw7Hl6.A6vDbCom5ozZICn5" />

The architectural response has been shaped by the site’s gateway role along Victoria Road and its proximity to Anzac Park and surrounding heritage elements, including the Sydney Water pumping station opposite the site.

The design process also incorporated consultation around Connecting with Country principles. The design report outlines engagement with Cultural Heritage Consultants Artefact and Aunty Julie, a Burruberongal woman of the Darug Nation, informing planting selection, materiality and potential public art opportunities.

Turner says the scheme aims to optimise the site’s capacity while balancing yield and amenity.

“The proposed scheme seeks to optimise the site’s potential by balancing yield, amenity, and urban integration. It will deliver a high-quality, mixed-use precinct that supports West Ryde’s ongoing transformation into a connected, accessible, and liveable centre."

Scion recently completed the build of its own development, The Sterling in Lane Cove. They are currently building Chatham in West Ryde, just 500m from the new proposal. Those 62 apartments will complete later this year.

A Milsons Point sub-penthouse in the Colonnades residential building with its 'Times Square' like façade has been sold.
It fetched $2.85 million by Tower London agent John Tower in late May.
The 25th floor <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-apartment-nsw-milsons+point-131779082" target="_blank">Glen Street apartment</a> features three double bedrooms with water views of the main harbour and Opera House, and three bathrooms with the master bedroom on one end of the apartment and the other two opposite each other. 
It was bought by the Aboud family for $1.64 million in 2003.

Club owner Russell Crowe won't be able to enter, but the South Sydney Rabbitohs faithful are being encouraged to enter an infield obstacle course competition that could see them win a $1 million one bedroom Sydney harbourside apartment.
The Chinese property developer Aqualand, who are the home ground sponsors of the South Sydney Rabbitohs, has embarked on an unusual marketing campaign to get greater recognition across Sydney.
In the lead up to the Bunnies game against the Dragons next month, fans are being encouraged to follow Aqualand's social media channels for a chance to win the apartment.
It's a promotional push from Aqualand who have around 40 apartments left to sell in Blue, their 129 apartment tower at Milsons Point (below).
All four Burgess brothers are helping promote the competition.
Fans will need to follow the Aqualand social media accounts, currently obscure with just 1,550 followers on Instagram, and 650 on Twitter.
(Russell Crowe has 700,000 followers.)
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/6/28/Aqualand%20Blue.jpg" alt="">
The contestants who sign up the most friends for Aqualand will secure the opportunity to participate in an on field obstacle course.
The winner will advance and face a game of chance where there is small possiblity they could win the apartment.
Expectant fans unfortunately won't get to see Rabbitohs owner Russell Crowe throwing his weight around given staff, players and their family members are not permitted to enter.
The competition went live yesterday with over 500 entries in the first 30 minutes.
It is not restricted to Rabbitohs fans.
The Lavender Street building was the 18 level Samsung office block before Aqualand bought it for $140 million in 2016.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/6/28/Aqualand%20Blue%202.jpg" alt="">
They called in PTW Architects to design the luxury 129 apartment tower. There are less than 40 units left to sell.
When sales launched in 2017, the sub-penthouse sold for $8 million.
Both of the buildings penthouses were sold this time last year, one fetching $9 million and the other selling for $10.5 million.
Blue was marketed as the last residential conversion development in the Milsons Point area with views to the city and Harbour Bridge.
This article was first published in the Daily Telegraph.

Sir Peter Cosgrove, who will step down as Australia's governor-general next month, and wife Lady Lynne Cosgrove, are downsizing in Sydney's north.
They will vacate the governor-general's official residence, Admiralty House on the Kirribilli waterfront, and will be moving in to a three bedroom apartment in Milsons Point.
Records show they paid $2.25 million for the 15th floor apartment in the Pinnacle building.
The apartment had sat idly on the market for around 50 days through Di Jones agent Nigel Mukhi, prompting the vendor to attempt the lease the investment apartment again at $1,500 a week before the Cosgrove's swooped.
The Pinnacle building was built in the late 1990s on Dind Street.
The Cosgrove's have called the lower north shore home for over a decade, having bought a Neutral Bay townhouse for $1.95 million in 2007.
They sold it for $2.1 million in 2014 given Peter's appointment as governor-general and the luxury of moving in to the 1840s Victorian sandstone Admiralty House.
The property on the tip of Kirribilli was built in 1842 by Lieutenant-Colonel John Gibbes. It was bought by the colonial government in 1885 and renamed Admiralty House.

The Milson Point's QE Foodstores premises have been sold for $6 million.
QE has other stores in Balmain, Camperdown, Darlinghurst, Newtown, Randwick, Waterloo and Waverley.
The shopfront at <a href="http://commercialpropertysearch.savills.com.au/0bbda22c-73bc-e811-80e6-005056816353/Sale/Milsons-Point/88-Alfred-Street" target="_blank">88 Alfred Street</a> was listed with $5.5 million hopes in November, through Savills agents David Hickey, Tom Tuxworth and Nick Tuxworth.
They expected interest from local, interstate and offshore investors.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/4/11/QE2.jpg" alt="">
The property has a new 10 year lease, with two five-year options.
On its listing Hickey said the lease and strong annual increases will attract buyers looking for secure, super-prime investments in the sub $10 million category. 
“Throughout 2018, we have seen a weight of capital chasing retail properties in prime locations, particularly in highly populated and affluent inner-urban and suburban areas," Hickey said.
“Investors are certainly looking for quality over quantity in the current market, and 88 Alfred Street fits that category.”  
“QE Foodstores took a strategic view on the local Milsons Point, Kirribilli, McMahons Point and Blues Point precinct when they noticed the community had been starved of a quality supermarket for a very long period of time,” Hickey said.
“The business decided to venture to Sydney’s North Shore and open its ninth grocery store to cater to this pent-up demand for fresh, quality and artisan produce.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/4/11/QE3.jpg" alt="">
“At 88 Alfred Street, the store benefits from being situated in Sydney’s second most-liveable suburb, only a 10-minute walk from the Sydney CBD and North Sydney.” 
Hickey said QE Foodstores appealed directly to a growing number of affluent Baby Boomer and Millennial shoppers, “who shop more frequently with smaller basket sizes”. 
“These shoppers demand personalisation, special services and quality products, which is what QE Foodstores has strived to deliver since opening its first store 16 years ago,” he said.
“The owners’ goal is to keep growing and provide a great range of products and services to many more Sydney neighbourhoods.
“They are constantly on the lookout for new sites in the inner city and east, and they’re now very seriously considering additional sites on the Lower North Shore.”

A recently opened boutique grocer in Sydney’s Milsons Point has been listed with $5.5 million hopes.
The property at 88 Alfred Street is run by QE Foodstores and is the group’s ninth offering, with other stores in Balmain, Camperdown, Darlinghurst, Newtown, Randwick, Waterloo and Waverley.
It is set to go under the hammer in early November.
Interest is expected from local, interstate and offshore investors, said Savills Australia’s David Hickey, Tom Tuxworth and Nick Tuxworth.

“The new 10-year lease with two five-year options to renew and strong annual increases will attract buyers from local, national and international markets looking for secure, super-prime investments in the sub-$10 million category,” Hickey said.

He said QE Foodstores owners had recognised a gap in the Lower North Shore retail market for a boutique grocery store.
“QE Foodstores took a strategic view on the local Milsons Point, Kirribilli, McMahons Point and Blues Point precinct when they noticed the community had been starved of a quality supermarket for a very long period of time,” Mr Hickey said.

Celebrity couple Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have passed up the chance to lock out the top floor of the Latitude building in Milsons Point.
The third and final apartment on the top floor had been listed for sale, however it was confirmed the pair were not the buyers after it sold for $8 million.
It last traded for $3,795,000 in 2007 when former CoreLogic boss Graham Mirabito and wife Michelle bought the two level, three bedroom apartment.
The purchase by Kidman and Urban would have seen a whole floor amalgamation with over 1,300 sqm of living space.
<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/2017/06/26/Kidman2.jpg" alt="">
The Hollywood stars first bought in to the building in 2009 when they paid around $6 million for the 420 sqm penthouse of Yellow Brick Road chairman Mark Bouris.
They added the adjoining 380 sqm unit three years later for more than $7 million and merged the two apartments.
McGrath agent Nigel Mukhi sold the apartment, confirming the buyer "wasn't them".
The couple do own a third apartment in the block.
Kidman paid $2.68 million for a 19th floor apartment which has been utilised as a home office.
The couple are US based and own a farm in Tennessee, a house in California's Beverly Hills and another high-rise condo in New York.
The New York apartment in Chelsea, the heart of Manhattan's art district, cost them $US9.67 million.
The two level, 220 sqm fourth floor digs are diagonally across the road from the Gagosian Gallery.

Kidman and Urban say no to Milsons Point penthouse

<html><body>
Celebrity couple Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have an opportunity to create a whole floor penthouse at their already enlarged Milsons Point bolthole.
They own all but one of the three top floor apartments of the Latitude Building in Milsons Point.
They've previously merged two apartments and the latest listing would give them the chance to create a super penthouse overlooking Sydney Harbour no doubt with acclaimed Sydney interior designer Blainey North back to decorate.
The couple's first purchase in the block was a 420 sqm apartment they bought from Yellow Brick Road chairman Mark Bouris for around $6 million in 2009.
Three years later they secured the 380 sqm unit next door for just over $7 million.
Now the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-apartment-nsw-milsons+point-125428726" target="_blank">third and final apartment</a> not in their ownership on the 21st floor is up for sale through McGrath Estate Agents with offers closing June 8. 
Graham Mirabito, the former chief of property giant CoreLogic, wants to downsize.
Graham and wife Michelle paid $3,795,000 for the two level, three bathroom apartment in 2007.
The purchase of the Mirabito home would see a whole floor amalgamation with over 1,300 sqm of living space. 
It is a long way from her first home, a 73 sqm unit in Mosman which cost only $81,000 in 1987.
Kidman also owns a $2.68 million 19th floor apartment in the Latitude block, utilised as a home office. 
Nicole and Keith maintain their Southern Highlands retreat Bunya Hill, a 45 hectare black Angus cattle stud at Sutton Forest that cost $6.5 million in 2008.
Two years ago Kidman gave Vogue a video tour of the property that has long been hidden from the public eye behind hedging.
The 1878 Georgian mansion with wide sandstone verandas, pressed-metal ceilings and 10 marble fireplaces was once leased as a vice-regal rural retreat for Lord Augustus Loftus, a governor of NSW in the colonial 1880s.
Nicole sold her three-storey Darling Point villa in 2009 for around $13 million which she bought with ex-husband Tom Cruise.
She was on the expansionary path then as they initially paid $4.2 million in 1995 to buy part of the Yarranabbe Road property, picking up the remainder for $4.75 million in 1998. 
Nicole and Keith still own their a farm in Tennessee, a house in California's Beverly Hills and another high-rise condo in New York.
The New York apartment in Chelsea, the heart of Manhattan's art district, cost them $US9.67 million.
The two level, 220 sqm fourth floor digs are diagonally across the road from the Gagosian Gallery.

Aqualand has settled on its latest acquisition, an office conversion property located at 61 Lavender Street, Milsons Point.
To be known as Blue at Lavender Bay, the 18 level commercial office building has been purchased with approval to develop 137 luxury residential apartments, comprising of studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom dwellings.
Over 80 per cent of apartments have views to the Harbour Bridge.
The name ‘Blue’ was chosen to echo the waterfront location of the property, and as a homage to the historical figures of Milsons Point, George Lavender and Susannah Blue.

Jin Lin, the managing director of Aqualand said with the appointment of PTW’s architectural team, Blue at Lavender Bay "will be an example of the high standard of lifestyle we pride ourselves on delivering for our customers.”
Alex Adams, Aqualand’s head of sales and marketing, said sales are expected to commence by mid-year.
The structure of the 40 year old building is already optimised for generous space and views, he added.

The boss of Cranswick Wines Australia, Graham Cranswick-Smith, has sold his Milsons Point penthouse pre-auction.
He's bought another penthouse over in the eastern suburbs.
McGrath Neutral Bay agents Jordan Black and Nigel Mukhi <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/https://www.realestate.com.au/123055154" target="_blank">secured the Milsons Point sale</a> after having $3.9 million hopes. It sold to a family from the Macarthur region who plan on leasing it out for a couple of years and then downsize to it.
Showcasing over 300 sqm of indoor and outdoor living, the Mirvac built penthouse has four bedrooms, two renovated limestone bathrooms and his home office.
A wraparound entertainers' balcony offers 270 degree views of the Harbour Bridge.
There's also an upper level expansive alfresco sun deck with jacuzzi.
Graham paid $3.58 million for the Milsons Point apartment in February last year, just weeks after he sold his McMahon Point trophy mansion, Villa Medusa, to tech guru Daniel Petre and his wife Carolyn.
Cranswick-Smith founded Cranswick Wines in 1991 when he initiated a management buy-out of Diageo's bulk winemaking facility in the Riverina region of New South Wales.
Since then Graham has transformed from producing bulk wine for major Australian producers to producing and marketing it's own broad range of Australian varietal wines. It recently won gold medals at the 2016 China Wine &amp; Spirit Best Value Awards.
The family name Cranswick is thought to derive from Crane’s Wyke (the village of cranes) in Yorkshire, as recorded in the medieval Domesday Book (England 1066).
