Developer-builder <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dasco-australia">DASCO</a> has pushed beyond the now-standard inclusions of rooftop pools and landscaped podiums at its recently launched new Epping project, Senso.

It has laid out over 4,000 sqm of resident-only amenity in a move designed to compete directly with low-density housing on livability, not just density. The result is a development that supports genuine daily use through purposeful spaces distributed across its five-building, 479-apartment precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4396]

Two rooftop pools form the anchor of Senso. One is a 27-metre lap pool adjoining a heated spa, designed for everyday fitness rather than just summer leisure. The second sits on a lower podium, allowing different buildings to share in vertical access and reducing crowding during peak times.

It is the secondary spaces that start to distinguish Senso from other large-scale suburban projects. A rooftop cinema is integrated into a landscaped terrace, offering open-air screenings with natural ventilation and passive cooling.&nbsp;

The inclusion of a “sensory walk”, an elevated boardwalk that threads through the site, suggests a rare investment in non-commercial, non-essential amenity: space for quiet movement that doesn’t double as access or traffic circulation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4402]

The gym and wellness centre, often relegated to a small ground-floor room in many builds, takes on more substance here. Residents have access to a fully equipped gym, as well as outdoor yoga areas and meditative zones that integrate greenery and natural light.&nbsp;

The Club Lounge is similarly designed to support multiple use cases, with a private dining terrace, kitchenette, workspace, and lockable wine storage. These aren’t superficial additions; their scale and spatial allocation indicate serious intent for frequent resident use.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4391]

Importantly, Senso’s amenities are embedded within a site that spans more than 10,000 sqm, allowing for better separation between spaces and reduced noise spillover, a critical but often overlooked factor in high-density developments. This spatial generosity also enables multiple alfresco kitchens and communal terraces without compromising individual privacy or usable space.

While many developments make claims about lifestyle, few back it with this level of built infrastructure. Senso’s mix of dedicated fitness, wellness, social and passive green spaces suggests a conscious response to the post-pandemic shift in housing expectations, especially among owner-occupiers.&nbsp;

DASCO is one of several leading developers who have taken out Resilience Insurance's Latent Defects Insurance policy, providing buyers with a 10-year structural and waterproofing warranty, and giving them the ultimate peace of mind.

Senso is scheduled for completion in late 2028.

The outdoor amenities elevating life at Senso, Epping

Following the proposal by the Minns Labor Government to rezone Parramatta Road to create up to 8,000 new homes, prominent developer Ceerose has gone to the NSW Gov to increase the density of its new mixed-use residential building in Leichhardt.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/ceerose">Ceerose</a>, founded by Edward Doueihi nearly three decades ago, has filed plans for 154 apartments above ground-floor retail at 307-315 Parramatta Road, a key corner site near Norton Street, the main high street strip in Leichhardt.

It's an upsize from the previously approved scheme of 63 apartments across a seven-storey building.

<img alt="Ceerose" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ba1ae75b-5f08-43fb-b8d5-3de6d9f6ef71" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-04%20at%2010.31.39%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=yA3hBBLPH4ev7MsAE0_hieXeqiFqBUb7" />

The project is being advanced through the State Significant Development (SSD) pathway, with concurrent rezoning sought to facilitate the proposal. The 10-storey development would rise over a four-level basement and deliver two retail tenancies, one a larger-format offering and the other a smaller “hole in the wall” space, addressing the Parramatta Road frontage. 21 of the apartments are dedicated as affordable housing.

According to the Urban Design Report by Architecture AND, the scheme includes a podium and tower configuration, with a fine-grain, two-storey parapet street wall that references the traditional shopfront rhythm along the corridor. “An elegant tower form is proposed, combined with a characterful two storey frontage... articulating it as two related buildings, providing consistency with the rhythm and grain of Parramatta Road,” the report notes.

The residential component is split across two slender towers set back from the street edge, a design move aimed at preserving solar access and reducing perceived bulk. This massing strategy also seeks to improve residential amenity by focusing scale toward the quieter northern interface, away from Parramatta Road’s noise and pollution.

<img alt="Ceerose" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="347f2f8f-5d36-4388-b40a-2e77380b9c19" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-04%20at%2010.31.02%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=xvyUE2ujT1lzivXTo.mHBJFF4SmfgLtz" />

Architecture AND has worked with Ceerose on previous Inner West projects, and cites a deep familiarity with the local character. Their design draws heavily on context, heritage, and sunlight access considerations, and engages with the Inner West Council’s “Our Fairer Future” strategic planning framework.

The site spans 2,712 sqm and is located near key intersections with Catherine Street, Hay Street, and Redmond Street. It adjoins a public carpark to the north and is within walking distance of Stanmore and Petersham stations. It is also flagged in state and local planning strategies, including the Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation Strategy, as a suitable candidate for increased density.

Ceerose recently completed The Alex Collective on McEvoy Street in Alexandria, Abbie's Lane in Annandale, and the award-winning Munro House in Elizabeth Bay.

The Parramatta Road corridor is coming to life with the proposed rezoning which is serviced by a significant number of bus, light rail and train routes.

Deicorp is progressing with its $1.8 billion <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-five-dock-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> precinct on Parramatta Road in Five Dock, as is <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/toga-to-push-on-with-five-dock-mixed-use-masterplan">TOGA further down the street</a>. Those two projects alone will bring nearly 2,000 new homes to Parramatta Road.

North Sydney's landmark 'SBS Building' on Alfred Street is set to be demolished to make way for a new mixed-use residential tower in the booming North Sydney.

Commercial property group FiveX is behind the plans for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/275-alfred-street-north-north-sydney-nsw-2060">39-storey tower</a>, the latest project to advance under the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

They are proposing 184 apartments above retail spaces, which will replace the existing 20-storey commercial building. FiveX was set up more than five decades ago by Joshua and Marko Berger. It is currently led by Joshua's son Lesli.&nbsp;

<img alt="First look: Fivex plans 39-storey residential tower at 275 Alfred Street, North Sydney" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2efa0980-53fa-4cca-9f9e-9c3c845d4746" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Article%20Feature%20Image%20%28Grid%29%20%281%29_0.png?VersionId=y_YyPMq3NQLfYRs84pP4os9UgWiMLp75" />

According to the Architectural Design Report by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fjc-studio">FJC Studio</a>, the slender tower form has been deliberately designed to respect the site's transitional setting at the southern gateway to the North Sydney CBD, where high-rise towers give way to lower-scale residential precincts.

"The slender tower form and articulated podium establish a respectful relationship with nearby heritage and low rise buildings, including the Whaling Road Heritage Conservation Area,” the architecture firm noted, adding that the tower “completes a missing link in the urban fabric” while enhancing the Alfred Street streetscape.

The proposed building will include a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, with 15 percent of the gross residential floor area allocated as affordable housing. There is an agreement already in place that those apartments will be managed by Evolve Housing.

The project aligns with broader state housing objectives, including the National Housing Accord target of delivering 1.2 million new homes by 2029. The Scoping Report filed with the State Significant Development Application (SSDA) suggests the site "presents no impediments to rapid delivery,” with construction able to commence within 12 months of receiving consent.

North Sydney has been one of the most popular suburbs in Sydney for new and off the plan apartment development, but hasn't had the supply to keep up with demand, until recently.

AURA by Aqualand was, for a long time, the only off the plan apartment building on the market. That completed last year, and has sold the majority of its 386 luxury apartments. Recently ALAND launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-walden-173-179-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">The Walden</a> on the same street, selling over $100 million within just a few hours of its launch, while developer CASA also launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-mclaren-north-sydney-45-mclaren-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">The McLaren</a>&nbsp;in the same precinct.

Kokoda appoints builder for $1.5 billion Teneriffe Banks waterfront precinct

Castle Hill’s booming development market is set for another boost, with builder-developer Buildex proposing a new mid-rise apartment building near Castle Towers.

Buildex has submitted plans to The Hills Shire Council for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/197-old-northern-road-castle-hill-nsw-2154">nine-storey building comprising 57 apartments</a> on Old Northern Road. The company acquired two adjoining sites earlier this year, totalling more than 2,683 sqm.

Texco Design has prepared the scheme, which includes five one-bed plus study apartments, 37 two-bedrooms, and 15 three-bedrooms.

Castle Hill has become a hotspot for developers in recent years, undergoing significant transformation driven by the opening of the Hills Showground Precinct to development and the introduction of two metro stations servicing the suburb.

Developers including Deicorp and Kassis Homes have already completed projects, and are progressing future developments, while Meriton, Arada, and Ellipse are currently delivering new projects in the rapidly evolving area.

Mornington Peninsula

Pace Development Group has started 2022 with a foothold at the Mornington Peninsula&rsquo;s gateway, after the developer purchased a mixed-use site in the rapidly evolving City of Frankston for $16 million.

The 3274 sqm beachside site, located at 438-444 Nepean Hwy, was previously the location of Frankston Cinemas before becoming a vacant land parcel ripe for redevelopment.

Its current owner, a private Melbourne developer, had held the site for two years before negotiating its sale to Pace in an off-market deal.

Pace will plan around 200 apartments, with a high level of&nbsp;amenity, including an infinity pool overlooking the bay,&nbsp;and ground floor retail.

Shane Wilkinson, Managing Director of Pace Development Group, said he has had his sights set on development opportunities within the Bayside locale for some time.

&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always had a clear mandate to be ahead of the curve when it comes to choosing up-and-coming locations across Melbourne, and offering purchasers a lifestyle in those areas that is synonymous with the Pace standard,&rdquo;&nbsp;Wilkinson said.

&ldquo;What makes this site particularly exciting is the magnificent backdrop of Port Philip Bay which will offer the majority of apartments uninterrupted water views.

&ldquo;We are currently working through early concepting of a U-shaped building that will allow the maximum number of apartments to enjoy panoramic views of the bay.

&ldquo;Our design brief emphasises Pace&rsquo;s commitment to developing buildings that are truly iconic and timeless in their architectural language.&rdquo;

Ashley Bramich, Sales and Marketing Director at Pace, said Frankston had already benefitted from strong price growth in the last year, yet its ability to cater to a discerning downsizer market has been capped until now.

&ldquo;Downsizers across the Peninsula have had very limited off-the-plan opportunities that come close to their expectations on quality and location,&rdquo;&nbsp;Bramich said.

&ldquo;With the Peninsula&rsquo;s extraordinary price growth of 20% being driven by younger sea-changers, empty-nesters couldn&rsquo;t be in a more advantageous position to sell their sprawling family properties and downsize.

&ldquo;Our vision is to create a project that meets the needs of Peninsula downsizers by focusing on larger two- and three-bedroom apartments and high-end facilities like an infinity pool looking out to a water aspect, and extensive health and wellbeing amenities.

&ldquo;Frankston offers the best of a Bayside and Peninsula lifestyle, yet being only 45 minutes from Melbourne&rsquo;s CBD allows for great connectivity for working commuters.

&ldquo;We believe the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula apartment market is limited from a planning perspective and significantly undervalued. Developments with water views in Sydney, Perth and Brisbane are all selling at significant premiums to what has been achieved in comparable locations in Melbourne.

The developer is currently in consultation with two architectural firms to refine its scheme, aiming to commence the planning process shortly in order to launch an early sales campaign in 2023

Pace will plan around 200 apartments, with a high level of amenity, including an infinity pool overlooking the bay, and ground floor retail.

Sorrento’s Continental Hotel is back on the market, with with receivers having taken over the landmark property after repeated issues with its $100 million redevelopment.
Justice Almond of the Supreme Court of Victoria has ruled to end the Mornington Peninsula building's previous contract of sale, releasing the deposit paid by the previous purchaser to Manda Capital Holdings Pty Ltd, the first mortgage.
The 145-year-old, heritage, four-storey limestone building is the heart of the Sorrento community and has for years languished in disrepair. 
The hotel had been plagued with issues since <a href="/news/julian-gerner-to-develop-sorrentos-continental-hotel">Continental Development director Julian Gerner bought </a>it in<a href="/expert-insights/investing/sorrentos-continental-hotel-for-sale"> 2015</a>. Mr Gerner underwent a myriad of contractual issues and a failed partnership with defunct developer Steller Group. 
However, as of Wednesday, the contractual issues dogging the redevelopment of the Continental Hotel have been <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/news/continental-hotel-sorrento-back-on-the-market/?pid=article-page%7Csource:news:article-page-bottom" target="_blank">resolved,</a> freeing up the historic landmark for a much needed revamp.
Petr Vrsecky, partner at PKF Melbourne and a receiver appointed by Manda, said the Continental Hotel is “on the market again and a “clean proposition”.
“We are pleased and relieved the matter has been brought to a head, and that we can now move forward with the sale of such an illustrious property,” he said.
“The previous contract of sale is at an end, and we welcome all expressions of interest through Colliers Real Estate.”
A historic landmark established in 1875 under the directorship of comedian, politician, philanthropist and businessman George Coppin (1819-1906), the Continental Hotel is an architecturally significant building that has been constructed in a Victorian Italianate style using locally quarried limestone.
Developed in response to the overwhelming demand for accommodation for city tourists seeking a holiday at the then growing seaside resort of Sorrento, the hotel is a great opportunity for anyone seeking to continue the tradition of an iconic venue serving one of the most prestigious and cosmopolitan communities in Victoria, all within walking distance to pristine beaches.
While it has since undergone various changes, it remains an undisputed gem of the seaside Sorrento community, situated on a prominent site at the entry to the town, and a fantastic opportunity for the right owner.

Greg O'Neill, chief executive officer of La Trobe Financial, has spent $20 million plus to buy a Red Hill farm on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. 
The 120-hectare Watermill Estate was previously home to the Watermill Murray Grey stud.
It continues farming operations, running a herd of about 200 Angus steers. 
<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/2019/11/18/la%20trobe%204.jpg" alt="">
Spread across 12 titles at 725 White Hill Road, the Watermill Estate had not changed hands for almost 30 years. 
It previously traded in 1982 for $69,750.
The vendor was Melbourne-based Samdee Nominees, whose sole director and shareholder is Wendy Olenick, according to the Australian Financial Review.
<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/2019/11/18/la%20trobe%201.jpg" alt="">

The acquisition comes less than two years after O'Neill sold an 80% stake in La Trobe Financial to American private equity giant Blackstone.
O'Neill's late father, Ray O'Neill, founded La Trobe in 1952 and then handed the reins to his son in 1997.

De Bortoli Wines has acquired the Rutherglen Estates vineyards, winery and tourism facility in Victoria.
The purchase takes De Bortoli’s total Victorian vineyard holdings to 820 hectares, with 700 ha bearing fruit and 120 ha being in development.
The acquisition is part of its growth strategy.
The 185 hectare Rutherglen purchase was from its Hong Kong owner, Eternity International Enterprise Holdings.
The Rutherglen vineyard purchase complements the family’s existing premium Victorian vineyard holdings in the Yarra Valley, King Valley and Heathcote wine regions.
Rutherglen Estates provides De Bortoli Wines with a third winemaking facility in addition to the business’ Riverina and Yarra Valley sites.
The De Bortoli family anticipates that premium quality Victorian red wine with density, freshness and interest will increasingly be in high demand domestically and internationally.
The family said it estimates that its Victorian vineyards will produce over seven million bottles of wine by 2025 as it looks to make the most of the "premiumisation trend" which is key part of the Australian market.

The Mt Martha holiday home of the late sports broadcaster Drew Morphett has been sold.
It fetched $1,270,000 after being listed for sale last year with $1.3 million to $1.35 million price hopes.
The 715 square metre property, set 100 metres from Birdrock Beach, was listed by his widow, Kaz.
The three bedroom Morrisons Avenue home was set to become their permanent home before Drew's sudden death last year at age 69.
The Morphett's paid $475,000 for the property in 2005 and installed a pool over their ownership.
The commentator called a wide variety of sports including cricket, tennis, golf, basketball plus six Olympic Games over a career spanning five decades.
One Agency Peninsula had the listing for 125 days before its recent sale in early 2019.
