With three projects currently in market in Elizabeth Bay and Mosman, two of which are under construction and completing next year, apartment developer Toohey Miller is expanding its new development pipeline across Sydney.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/toohey-miller">Toohey Miller</a>, led by Nick Couloumbis, has filed plans for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/oxford160-160-oxford-street-paddington-nsw-2021">Oxford160</a>, 44 new apartments across a nine-storey building on Oxford Street in Paddington. It will have 12 apartment designated as affordable housing as per the Housing SEPP 2021 mid-rise reforms which trigger increased height limits, and street-level retail spaces.

The vision for the project is to create a "welcoming and family-friendly place to live with a mix of quality and affordable homes to support the Paddington community at different life stages."

Designs prepared by Smart Design Studio outline a contemporary, articulated streetwall along Oxford Street, stepping back at the upper levels to mitigate bulk and improve visual integration with the local character. A new laneway will improve pedestrian connectivity to Shadforth Street, while communal open spaces are integrated at both ground and rooftop levels.

According to the Urban Design Supporting Letter prepared by architect and urban designer Matthew Pullinger, the new scheme “represents a contextually sensitive, responsive and high quality renewal of the site and the broader urban landscape”.

Pullinger said there are a range of benefits to the project, namely its contribution to the renewal of "this part of Oxford Street as a distinctive higher density urban high street and a defining element of greater Sydney’s urban character, thereby enhancing the vitality and liveability of this important street."

The new building will replace&nbsp;a dated 1960s-era apartment block which has 27 studio apartments.&nbsp;Design documents note that the current structure detracts from the character of Oxford Street, with the proposal seeking to restore and enhance the continuity of active shopfronts along the northern edge of the street.

The last project to launch on Oxford Street sold out immediately. It was fashion legend Robby Ingham's The Cambrian, which sold all of its 15 apartments in the first five hours of its weekend launch in 2023 through Ben Stewart.

Toohey Miller plans rare new apartment development on Oxford Street, Paddington 

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/geocon-group">Geocon</a>&nbsp;is advancing its plans for its new&nbsp;mixed-use precinct in Braddon, updated the designs for the prominent site at the intersection of Northbourne and Wakefield Avenues.

The Canberra-based developer is proposing 558 apartments and seven commercial tenancies across four buildings under a staged application first lodged in 2023. The project also includes four levels of basement parking, communal spaces, pedestrian links, and landscaping enhancements.

While the development’s scale remains consistent, the current amendment introduces extensive changes to apartment layouts, building envelopes, façade articulation, and basement design.

According to the Design Statement by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">Cox Architecture</a>, these adjustments were driven by two core objectives: “enhancing apartment and common area amenity” and “ensuring acknowledgement of the housing design guidelines, entity advice, and planning expectations, while retaining the integrity of the original architectural concept”.

<img alt="Northbourne and Wakefield Avenues" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="066194ad-d73f-49b7-8e39-09e20690a7ac" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/pers%202.png?VersionId=I7eLnim8erdwd2Yu1N5sIcLSndeOK_TC" />

The revised apartment mix has been rebalanced to increase diversity and affordability, including a broader range of unit sizes and a higher proportion of three-bedroom dwellings. The updated design also removes problematic layouts, such as “snorkel” bedrooms and internalised studies, to improve liveability and natural light access.

Cox Architecture noted that “studios and smaller one-beds provide entry-level housing and broaden affordability,” while the number of family-sized three-bed apartments has been increased “in direct response to market demand and policy objectives”.

The circulation spaces within the towers have been redesigned to improve wayfinding and daylight penetration, while the ground floor layout has been reworked to create clearer and more visible entry points, particularly from Northbourne Avenue.

Refinements to the building’s massing and façades have also been introduced in response to planning feedback, with additional breaks and articulation to reduce perceived bulk. “Rooftop plant and lift overruns have been integrated and screened, resolving visibility concerns,” COX stated.

Basement levels have been consolidated and made more efficient, with improvements to bike and storage facilities.

<img alt="Northbourne and Wakefield Avenues" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a1ab9357-707d-46fd-95d7-d6e09c70f20b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/pers%203.png?VersionId=crDXvrmDsGqFGcb_p6NSUlsr0vYsRacq" />

The precinct’s pedestrian connections have been clarified, and the public realm has been restructured to improve permeability and align with the broader Northbourne corridor urban design framework. Landscaping updates include increased deep soil zones and rooftop communal areas, with tree management to be addressed separately.

Geocon acquired the 10,633 sqm site earlier in 2023 following approval of a prior build-to-rent scheme by Evri Group. The existing nine-storey commercial building was demolished in 2022.

The current proposal, designed by Cox Architecture, is positioned as a key contributor to the ACT Government’s urban renewal vision for Northbourne Avenue, an established transport and development spine served by light rail and major arterial roads.

The booming Bilinga beachfront is set for another luxury apartment development, with plans filed for KYRR, an 11-level block on the dress circle Pacific Parade.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kyrr-70-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">KYRR</a>, on the corner of Pacific Parade and Archer Street, will comprise 24 apartment on its prime 1,009 sqm site. There had previously been plans for a much more boutique seven-storey, five-unit scheme.

Plans have been pitched by CHM Living, an entity associated with James Quinert, the founder of Norwood Constructions which is based in Melbourne.

<img alt="70 Pacific Parade and 1 Archer Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2f6159ee-3511-4b16-b9fa-ae8c008b8faf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/site_5.png?VersionId=4n2YaBQdjXcshUAkxX8ei9X5N0v2AWqB" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/byculprit">ByCulprit Architects</a>, the project includes a sculptural façade with soft curves and natural finishes, inspired by the rhythm and calm of the nearby Pacific Ocean.

According to the Town Planning Report by Town Planning Alliance, the project aspires to reflect the intent of the Medium Density Residential zone, aiming to "contribute to the city’s iconic skyline along the coastal spine" with a high degree of architectural modulation and landscaping that softens the built form.

There will be 22 large-scale three-bedroom apartments and two five-bedroom penthouses. The wellness amenities, including a gym, steam room, sauna, pool, golf simulator, and cold plunge, will sit on level one.

Kyrr will follow in the footsteps of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/pipis-bilinga-303-golden-four-drive-bilinga-qld-4225">PIPIS</a> in Bilinga by SIERA, which is all but sold out with just one of its luxury 19 apartments left to sell. The building set suburb records, with the penthouses both selling for over $8 million. Down the road is Bilinga House, which has a wider mix of configurations and price points starting from just over $1.2 million.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/archer-albert-chatswood-57-61-archer-street-chatswood-nsw-2067">Archer &amp; Albert</a> is one of the few large-scale residential developments in the heart of Chatswood City to progress through a council-led architectural design competition and secure development approval, positioning it at the forefront of design led housing.&nbsp;

Designed by global architecture practice <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>, long-term collaborators of the Coronation team, the project draws inspiration from the Sydney Blue Gum High Forest and the leafy character of the South Chatswood Heritage Conservation Area. The design integrates a restored heritage-listed home and establishes a landscaped connection between Chatswood’s urban centre and its surrounding residential neighbourhoods.&nbsp;

“This is an important project for us and our first entry into the North Shore,” said Joe Nahas, Managing Director of &nbsp;Coronation Property.&nbsp;

“We are deliberate about where we invest and build, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chatswood-nsw-2067">Chatswood</a> stands out because the fundamentals are already strong. Transport, employment, education, retail and health are all in place. Archer &amp; Albert is about adding new housing into a centre that already works and building on what exists.”&nbsp;

Aras Labutis, Head of Urban Transformation at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/coronation-property">Coronation Property</a>, said the project reflects a disciplined, collaborative approach to city shaping.&nbsp;

“Chatswood sits at an important junction between high-density commercial activity and established residential &nbsp;neighbourhoods," Labutis said.

Coronation receives green light for Archer & Albert apartments in Chatswood

Leading Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a>, in partnership with Metrics Credit Partners, has officially broken ground on its landmark $1.8 billion Kings Bay Village project in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/five-dock-nsw-2046">Five Dock</a>, marking the beginning of construction on one of the most significant urban renewal precincts within the Parramatta Road Corridor.

A sod-turning ceremony was held at the project site on Parramatta Road, with NSW Premier Chris Minns and NSW Planning Minister Paul Scully joining Deicorp Chairman Fouad Deiri OAM and Metrics CEO and Managing Partner Andrew Lockhart, to mark the significant milestone.

Located at 129-154 Parramatta Road, <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> will transform more than three hectares of underutilised land into a highly connected new neighbourhood comprising 1,185 homes, including 218 affordable dwellings for essential workers, alongside new retail, commercial, and community spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146120 project_image_fid=356895]

Designed by award-winning architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/turner-studio">TURNER</a>, the precinct blends crafted brick architecture with a pedestrian-focused urban layout across six buildings of varying scale. The project will deliver 14,700sqm of retail and commercial space, 6,500sqm of public open space, and a new 2,290sqm landscaped park and civic plaza that will form the social heart of the community.

Kings Bay Village is positioned minutes from the future Five Dock Metro Station, supporting the NSW Government and City of Canada Bay Council’s shared ambition for a more connected, liveable and revitalised Parramatta Road Corridor. Deicorp will also contribute more than $80 million towards new and upgraded local infrastructure, including pedestrian laneways, an activated streetscape and significant public domain works.

Fouad Deiri OAM, Chairman of Deicorp, said Kings Bay Village represents a defining opportunity for Sydney’s Inner West.

&nbsp;“Today marks the beginning of a precinct that will deliver lasting benefits for the Five Dock community - new homes, new open spaces, and a vibrant mixed-use environment that brings people closer to transport, services and amenities,"&nbsp;Deiri says.

“We are proud to be delivering much-needed housing, including affordable homes for essential workers, in partnership with the NSW Government and the City of Canada Bay. Kings Bay Village is urban renewal at its best - thoughtful, connected and community-focused.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146120 project_image_fid=356894]

Metrics CEO and Managing Partner Andrew Lockhart said the company is proud to support more housing and infrastructure in a key Sydney corridor. 
&nbsp; 
“Metrics and Deicorp share a proven track record of delivering high-impact projects that align closely with the NSW Government’s housing and infrastructure priorities. Kings Bay Village marks our most significant Sydney development to date, offering quality homes, essential infrastructure, and dynamic public spaces.” 
&nbsp; 
“This project reflects our ongoing commitment to creating value by supporting economic growth, job creation, and delivering excellent outcomes for our investors,” he said.

With Kings Bay Village now underway, Deicorp’s pipeline of apartments under construction across Sydney has increased to 5,102. Kings Bay Village is scheduled for completion in Q2 of 2029.

Newcastle off the plan apartments

Urban Property Group is continuing to expand its ever-widening new apartment pipeline.

The developer is soon to tackle the Newcastle's market, having taking over the mixed-use Bowline project on the harbour in Wickham.&nbsp;

<img alt="Bowline" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="76e65b76-fbcf-4f05-a1e9-b6834c908691" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-03-31%20at%2010.52.58%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=PTzhKaLh79XhxtUzcM5KSbt2k5Hsi2r5" />

The Bowline, just under 100 apartments across a 14-level building on Dangar Street, was being developed by MultiPart Property before they fell into receivership. Deposits were offered back to the original buyers earlier this year.

The large-scale apartments, that were pitched as being suitable for downsizers when it gained approval in 2019, would sit above 5,500 sqm of commercial space.

Urban Property Group secured the site&nbsp;through a competitive sale process managed by the appointed receivers and managers, Ryan Eagle and Amanda Coneyworth of KPMG.

<img alt="Bowline" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a7588c81-24fa-43df-9915-558371a8496f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-03-31%20at%2010.53.04%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=TROUxZjaWUlJrzbzKROIVCOjWGXX24Rx" />

Patrick Elias, CEO of&nbsp;<a href="/developers/urban-property-group">Urban Property Group</a>, said Bowline is a&nbsp;pivotal site in one of the most exciting growth corridors in the state.

"We recognise both the opportunity and the responsibility of taking this project forward."

Elias says the current approval dates back several years and there is a "unique opportunity to reimagine this site in a way that meets today’s needs while embracing the city’s future potential."

The site is located at 10 Dangar Street, Wickham, NSW 2293, on the corner of Hannell Street, Dangar Street, and Charles Street. This prime location places it adjacent to the Newcastle Interchange, a major transport hub.

UPG has recent experience taking over and successfully progressing complex projects. Urban acquired Gosford’s Central Coast Quarter from St Hilliers in 2024, and is now progressing toward top-out of the first stage.

UPG has several projects across Greater Sydney. They're working toward launching <a href="/new-apartments/mayfair-on-penrith-172-lord-sheffield-circuit-penrith">Mayfair on Penrith</a>, 287 apartments across a 10-level building on&nbsp;an 8280 sqm site at 160-172 Lord Sheffield Circuit. It will be&nbsp;Urban Property Group's&nbsp;sixth and final development in the Thornton precinct, alongside their award-winning developments Navali and&nbsp;<a href="/buildings/the-orchards-lumia-norwest-104-fairway-drive-norwest-nsw-2153" target="">Lumia</a>.

&nbsp;

Patrick Elias, CEO of Urban Property Group, said the The Bowline is a pivotal site in one of the most exciting growth corridors in the state.

Respected local builder-developer, <a href="/developers/gwh">GWH</a>, is offering grand-scale living in every aspect at its under-construction <a href="/developments/newcastle-west-nsw-2302">Newcastle West</a> apartment development, <a href="/new-apartments/one-apartments-newcastle-west-1-national-park-street-newcastle-west">One Apartments</a>.

Upon completion later this year, ONE Apartments will not only become the tallest tower in Newcastle at nearly 80-metres high, but will offer some of the largest floorplans ever seen in the rapidly growing city.

The 193 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, spread across two 22 and 19-level towers, are, on average, around 20 percent larger than what is typically available in both the new development and established apartment sectors in the Newcastle region.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24247 project_image_fid=325764]

GWH Build is well advanced in the construction of the development, over half-way up each building which protrude from a shared four-level podium that will host a range of commercial and retail tenancies.

<a href="/architects/marchese-partners">Marchese Partners</a>&nbsp;have collaborated with <a href="/architects/ckds-architecture">CKDS</a>&nbsp;on the design of <a href="/new-apartments/one-apartments-newcastle-west-1-national-park-street-newcastle-west">ONE Apartments</a>, creating a floorplate as part of the striking, pointed design that both creates large floorplans as well as a balconies off the living areas and bedrooms that offer extended views over Newcastle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24247 project_image_fid=325772]

Due to the height of the tower, and its strategic position on National Park Street, ensures the majority of the apartments, even at the lower levels, will offer strong viewlines.

Each apartment will feature interiors with SMEG appliances, soft-touch cabinetry, and premium tapware.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24247 project_image_fid=325763]

The highest views are captured from the rooftop entertainment areas. The Scenic Lounge, atop the 22-level south tower,&nbsp;and the Harbourview Lounge, crowning the north towers 19th level, will each offer panoramic outlooks across the city and coastline.

As well as the rooftops, residents will have private access to a heated outdoor swimming pool, state-of-the-art gym with steam room, a fully furnished, surround-sound UHD cinema, and several pocket parks, from small courtyards for yoga and meditation to pergolas set in extensive landscaping.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24247 project_image_fid=325771]

Newcastle has seen relatively little high-density development compared to the likes of its closest major regions, like Sydney and the Central Coast. GWH is central to the increasing what is a fairly limited supply of new apartments in Newcastle. The limited availability of suitable sites and a small pool of builders capable of delivering large-scale projects have constrained the market.&nbsp;

GWH, which has been shaping Newcastle’s built environment since 1995, is one of the few developers with the expertise and resources to undertake a project of this magnitude.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24247 project_image_fid=325761]

The location of ONE Apartments will place residents within walking distance of Darby Street’s dining precinct, the Civic Theatre, Marketown Shopping Centre, and the Newcastle Interchange, ensuring seamless connectivity for residents.

Buyers are expecting to move into ONE Apartments in early 2026.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=24247]

The 193 apartments, spread across two 22 and 19-level towers, are, on average, around 20 percent larger than what is typically available in both the new development and established apartment sectors in the Newcastle region.



The grand proportions of Newcastle's newest apartment development

Longstanding and respected Newcastle builder developer, GWH, is giving buyers more bang for their buck compared to any other apartment project in Newcastle.

The <a href="/developers/gwh">iCIRT-rated developer</a> is offering floorplans some 20 per cent larger than others on the local market at their under-construction tower ONE Apartments, located in the heart of the <a href="/developments/newcastle-west-nsw-2302">Newcastle West</a> on National Park Street, on the doorstep of Marketown and the Newcastle Interchange.

The 22 and 19-level buildings designed by&nbsp;<a href="/architects/marchese-partners">Marchese Partners</a>, connected by a four-level podium that will home commercial space, will comprise 193 one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24247 project_image_fid=281094]

Over 50 per cent of the apartments have already been snapped up, with construction well on track for a late 2025 completion. Nearly all of the one-bedroom apartments are accounted for.

The&nbsp;apartments feature open-plan living areas extending to private winter gardens offering views of Newcastle Harbour, Stockton, Merewether, and the Watagan Mountains.

GWH Managing Director, Jonothan Craig, says ONE Apartments offer spacious open plan living at its finest.

"Luxurious quality, wellness, security, convenience – ONE showcases GWH’s significant research into the elements our residents most desire for a beautiful, enduring quality of life," Craig says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24247 project_image_fid=281096]

The kitchens are equipped with SMEG appliances and soft-touch cabinetry, centred around a breakfast bar designed for ease of entertaining, while the master&nbsp;bedrooms come with built-in or walk-in robes, bathrooms with natural stone tiling, and premium tapware, ensuring ample storage and natural light.

Homeowners can choose between natural, earthy tones in light and dark colour palettes.&nbsp;

Each apartment is also fully wired with fibre-to-premises NBN, Pay TV, wireless access points, and the option to upgrade to the Clipsal Wiser™ Smart Home system, allowing residents to control home features via a single app.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24247 project_image_fid=281099]

Residents at ONE Apartments will have access to exclusive amenities, including an outdoor pool, cinema, gym, sauna, a bookable private function room, and two rooftop entertainment areas.&nbsp;

The Scenic Lounge is located on the 22nd floor of the South Tower, and the Harbourview Lounge is atop the 19th floor of the North Tower.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24247 project_image_fid=281103]

ONE Apartments is ideally located within walking distance of Darby Street eateries, parks, the Civic Theatre, Newcastle Interchange, the Honeysuckle foreshore precinct, and various retail stores.

GWH was founded as GWH Build in 1995 by&nbsp;Grahame Chevalley and Hilton Grugeon AM.&nbsp;Since 2017 GWH has delivered over 600 new homes to the Newcastle region.

ONE Apartments to offer Newcastle's largest new apartments

Construction is underway on Newcastle's latest residential development, ONE Apartments.&nbsp;

Their inhouse construction team, GWH Build, is handling construction of the two-tower development of just under 200 one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

The demolition of the existing site concluded late last year, paving the way for structural piling and inground work, which commenced early this year.

ONE Apartments, designed by global architects Marchese Partners and local firm CKDS, will feature one of GWH's signature inclusions, two all-weather rooftop entertaining areas overlooking 360-degree views of Newcastle.&nbsp;

<img alt="ONE Apartments" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c6395f94-2e44-49bd-9741-82bbc372a497" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-30%20at%208.25.38%20pm.png?VersionId=8mlhbF7BTeab36M2cY_VB8wzGkwvQqVq" />

Among the additional amenities are an outdoor heated pool, cinema, gymnasium, steam room, and several smaller private communal spaces available for bookings.

GWH officially launched ONE Apartments to the market in mid-June 2022.

The project attracted a strong interest from the outset, particularly among purchasers from other GWH developments. This has resulted in over one-third of Stage One being sold within the first eight weeks on the market.

"Currently, we're over 50 per cent sold in Stage One and all of our one-bedroom apartments are sold out which shows so much confidence in the market at the moment in Newcastle City, especially off-the-plan," said GWH/RE Licensee in Charge - Peter Kunov.

"Our enquiry rate every week seems to grow despite the current market and the confidence in the off-the-plan sales for both downsizers and investors and first home buyers is really strong."

ONE is located in the centre of Newcastle, just steps away from the Interchange, Marketown Shopping Centre and Newcastle’s famous walking tracks and trails.

The development is slated for completion in October 2025.

Newcastle's One Apartments over 50% sold as construction continues

Newcastle and Lake Macquarie apartment developer Next Level Seven has officially launched Watervue, a bold new statement to the growing Newcastle skyline.

Watervue, at 10 Steel Street, comprises 106 apartments spread across a 19-level tower that offers panoramic views of the city and the harbour.&nbsp;

Designed by Stewart Architecture, prospective homeowners can select from a range of apartment options, including one-bedroom, one-bedroom plus study, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom configurations, as well as two luxury penthouses. Serviced by three lifts, each floor accommodates a maximum of seven apartments.&nbsp;

The generous floor plans, featuring 2.7-metre high ceilings, are strategically designed to optimise views and infuse the interiors with natural light. Expansive balconies extend an invitation to outdoor living.

Watervue, strategically positioned at a corner, captures east-northeast aspects and accompanying breezes. The east-northeast orientation ensures apartments bask in the morning sun while benefiting from coastal breezes during summer.

The double glazing and ducted air conditioning without condensers on verandahs further emphasise Watervue's priority for resident comfort.

The well-appointed designer kitchens boast stone benchtops and stainless steel Miele appliances. Luxurious bathrooms showcase floor-to-ceiling tiles and premium fixtures.

Exclusive upgrade packages are available for all apartments, including appliance upgrades, heated bathroom floors and towel rails, ceiling fans, and power outlets in car spaces. Secure parking is provided for all apartments, with each car space having a storage cage.

On the podium, residents can socialise in the fourth-floor residents’ lounge or take advantage of the well-equipped business hub. Residents can pick herbs from the lush edible garden on the podium rooftop, get together on the pool deck or take a dip in the 25-metre heated lap pool.

Situated just one block from Newcastle’s harbour, apartments from level 12 and above offer uninterrupted views of the busy working waterway. Lower levels provide view corridors to the harbour along with aspects overlooking Watervue’s private swimming pool, with its beach area and landscaped surrounds.

Watervue is just a short stroll from major supermarkets, light rail, the Newcastle Transport Interchange, cafés, restaurants, bars, and the Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club, with easy access to Market Town shopping centre, the inner city and Cooks Hill.

Next Level Seven appointed builder Bloc Constructions to build Watervue, with an estimated completion date in September 2024. Street Property is marketing the project.

Watervue, at 10 Steel Street, comprises 106 apartments spread across a 19-level tower that offers panoramic views of the city and the harbour

Rare new off the plan apartment development launches in Newcastle

A new mixed-use development is set to transform the landscape of Lindus Street in the inner suburbs of Newcastle, with the demolition of two warehouses and a concrete car park set to make way for the construction of 59 new dwellings in <a href="/developments/wickham-nsw-2293">Wickham</a>.

The plans for <a href="/new-apartments/1-21-railway-street-wickham">1-21 Railway Street, Wickham</a>, were lodged by Gemini Interchange Pty Ltd, which is directed by Maitland-born Kristoffer and Dallas Harvey. Kristoffer is currently the CEO for Goodman Group's activities in Greater China.&nbsp;

The development will comprise 21 one-bedroom, 32 two-bedroom and six three-bedroom apartments, along with five four-bedroom three-storey terrace houses, providing a range of living options to cater to the diverse needs of the community.

It’s hoped the project will help address Newcastle’s rental crisis — with the city’s vacancy rate sitting at just 1.4 per cent.&nbsp;

The 11-storey development has been designed by&nbsp;CKDS Architecture, with it also set to feature communal open space and an urban activation space facing Lindus Street, as well as ground floor retail space on Railway Street.&nbsp;

The landscape design developed by Xeriscapes will integrate with and enhance the architectural forms and will aid in helping council to deliver a north facing urban activation space&nbsp;to the corners of Railway and Lindus streets, consistent with the vision for a public network outlined in City of Newcastle’s Wickham Masterplan 2017 and 
subsequent 2021 update.

The facade will feature concrete panel walls, metal screens and metal flat bar balustrades, paired with face brickwork, lightweight cladding and powder-coated horizontal plant louvres.&nbsp;

The built form has been constructed to maximise natural sunlight and cross flow ventilation throughout each of the residences while also providing view lines to the harbour.&nbsp;

The northern façade presents as an open form, taking advantage of sunlight and views, broken down into a hierarchy of slabs edges, dividing walls, and balconies.

80 car spaces will be available across the site, with 31 planned for the ground level and 49 across level one, in addition to four motorcycle spaces and 64 bicycle spaces, which has been pitched to encourage more sustainable transport options.&nbsp;

The near $30 million project is&nbsp;conveniently located near the <a href="/new-apartments/newcastle-nsw">Newcastle</a> Interchange and is well located for transport, shopping, public places and civic open spaces within the Newcastle City Centre.

The project is expected to take several years to complete, with construction set to begin in the near future. The development is expected to be a significant addition to the city, providing new homes, retail space, and green areas, while also enhancing the overall aesthetic of the area.
