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.

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.

North Bondi

A boutique apartment building looks set to rise on one of North Bondi's most sought-after streets.

Plans have been filed for a four-storey apartment block at 181 Blair Street, with the small project to comprise just nine apartments.&nbsp;

The architects at Bureau SRH have designed the apartments, which will deliver a mix of layouts, with two studio apartments on offer, in addition to three one-bedroom, one two-bedroom and three three-bedroom apartments. A portion of the apartments will also be dedicated to affordable housing.&nbsp;

The top level of the building will be extensively recessed from the rest of the building, with the building mass presented as a two to three-storey building, with an articulated roof top form.&nbsp;

Apartments will face both the front and the rear of the site, with fixed privacy screens added to side windows to maintain privacy from the surrounding residences.&nbsp;

A majority of the apartments will achieve solar access, while each will benefit from cross flow ventilation.&nbsp;

The building will be divided into two parts, with the north-east section encompassing views to the Bondi Golf and Diggers Club, as well as Hugh Bamford Reserve and beyond, with the other section of the building oriented towards North Bondi.&nbsp;

The design concept for the proposal has grown simultaneously from the consideration of the surrounding natural landforms and future urban requirements, said the architects in their design statement.&nbsp;

Protruding balconies and the articulated roof form establish a significant street presence, while the rear balconies and planters establish a distant presence from the rear neighbours and provide another level of privacy protection.

A public domain will be curated across the ground floor space, with an open landscaped private space.&nbsp;

Future residents will benefit from being within close proximity to the bus stops on Military Road, with the closest stop just 30-metres from the site, servicing regularly to both Bondi Junction and the CBD.&nbsp;

North Bondi's Blair Street set for new apartment development 

<html><body>
Interior des­igner grandads Mitch Edwards and Mark Mc­Kie, who starred in The Block 2019, are trying again to flip their North Bondi project which didn’t find a buyer last year.
The duo paid $855,000 for the 80sqm, two-bedroom apartment in mid-2018, and then revamped the decor.
It’s now back up for sale with just a few further tweaks by the professional property flippers, who have made it a bit more beachy.
Theirs has been the only sale in the tightly held Hardy St block of 16 in the past five years.
Vicki Laing and Steven Bullock at Laing Real Estate have a guide of $900,000, which saw it attract strong interest from first-home buyers at its initial open for inspection yesterday.
“There were no investors,” Laing advised.
North Bondi currently has 13 apartments for sale. Its ­median unit prices over the past year has been $1,250,000, with investment apartments typically being rented for $688 a week, reflecting a 2.9 per cent rental yield.
Based on five years of sales, realestate.com.au calculates North Bondi has seen 6 per cent compound unit price growth.
The duo’s renovation in late 2018 saw them rip up the tired carpet to highlight its whitewash floorboards. There was also a new kitchen, with a wall knocked through so it is now part of the open plan living and dining area.
The apartment has been their home base before and after the television series.
Mitch and Mark brought controversy to The Block last year when they ended up finishing last among the contestant couples, albeit pocketing $384,000 when their terrace home sold for $3.374 million after the conversion of St Kilda’s Oslo Hotel.
Mitch and Mark, who had been backed as favourites ­before the Channel 9 series began given their extensive renovation history, lost out to Queensland newlyweds Tess and Luke Struber, who took home $730,000 after their ­terrace soared past its auction reserve.
The Sydney couple had pocketed $3.5 million in gains from their resales of properties over the prior 14 years, excluding $560,000 in stamp duties plus estate agent and conveyancing fees.
Their latest abode project was bought after the show finished last year when they paid $1.7 million for a four-bedroom 1970s home at Newport with an elevated position and views to the coast.
They recently interrupted their own project to assist Married At First Sight couple Cameron Merchant and wife Jules Robinson who needed a makeover after they spent $1,806,000 on a family home in Cromer.

Channel 7 Sunrise presenter Sam Armytage has sold her North Bondi home of the past six years.
It comes after the news of engagement to the equestrian businessman Richard Lavender.
The breakfast television presenter - who now works just four days a week - intends to downsize with plans to spend more time in her beloved Southern Highlands.
Marketed as laid back luxury with a breezy beach feel, the three bedroom home had $2.8 million hopes for its late July auction. It sold for around $3.2 million.
There's been no extensive renovation for the home that cost $2.15 million in 2014, just as the Sydney price-boom was kicking in to gear, although she's modernised the two level, freestanding house.
These days Armytage is preferring life away from Sydney with her fiancee, Lavender, who she began dating last year after meeting at a party in the Highlands.
Lavender has a 40 hectare farm at Berrima which cost $1.95 million in 2007.
Her own weekender cost $2.2 million in 2017, with local agents anticipating the weekender could be listed as they move into together.
Her North Bondi home has a number of alfresco living areas and a level landscaped garden, complete with a striking sandstone wall.
The ground level is dedicated to living and entertaining, with three bedroom upstairs where there are ocean views.

A mixed-use North Bondi block on Campbell Parade has sold at auction for $25.4 million.
There were five registered bidders in the social distanced room as the hammer fell after a heated auction following a $15 million opening bid.
There were mixed pre-auction guides including $17 million while another report suggested it would be more like $20 million on its listing last month.
There were too many in the room for the auction to go ahead, so auctioneer Damien Cooley ushered anyone not registered to bid or family in to an adjoining room.
In the end it was two feuding brothers, who were part of the family who had owned the block for decades, who drove the price above $25 million.
Tony and Anna Tsakiros took the keys, with Tony's rep beating his brother Nio's.
Colliers International agents Matt Pontey and Miron Solomons secured the sale in conjunction with McGrath's Will Manning.
The block at <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/sold/property-286-294a-campbell-parade-north-bondi-nsw-2026-503544382" target="_blank">286-294A Campbell Parade</a> comprises four ground floor retail outlets, leased to The Depot, Doughboy Pizza, Sage Beauty and grocery store Nio &amp; Tony's.

Upstairs there are six apartments, four two bedders and two one bedders, with the net income of the commercial and residential tenancies yielding $687,891 per annum.
The 689 sqm site with a gross floor area of 1,004 sqm was offered as 100 per cent freehold interest.
"This calibre in a location such as this is unlikely to be seen again in our lifetime," the Colliers marketing advised.

Afterpay co-founder Nicholas Molnar seems set to upgrade to the cliff-front at North Bondi.
There’s been a whisper-quiet $10 million sale, the highest price paid in the expensive suburb this year.
Molnar and wife, Gabrielle, who married in November 2015, have been residing in a smaller nearby North Bondi apartment that they bought together in 2013, a year before the buy-now, pay-later giant was founded.
The new penthouse acquisition was atop the recently completed triplex project by the Assouline family.
With ocean and beach views, the two level 210 sqm apartment with three car spaces is positioned on the coveted Ben Buckler peninsula.
In June Molnar (pictured) and fellow co-founder Anthony Eisen, who late last year spent $7.6 million in Byron, cashed out $100 million of shares.
Molnar, the 29-year-old former head of fintech Afterpay Touch, launched the firm on the ASX in 2017 at $2.95 per share. The shares are now trading at around $24.
Afterpay launched in the US just over a year ago, with Molnar now in the role of global chief revenue officer.
Afterpay has more than three million customers and over 20,000 retail merchants.

Mitch Edwards and Mark McKie, who are being promoted as the ‘‘stylish grandads’’ on The Block’s upcoming series, are professional property flippers.
By my count these serial renovators have flipped 15 properties.
They have pocketed $3.5 million in gains over the past 13 years, excluding $560,000 in stamp duties, plus the estate agent and conveyancing fees.
And less whatever they spent on the renos.
They’re now seeking a buyer for <a href="http://www.laing.com.au/4715852/" target="_blank">their own North Bondi apartment</a> (above and below) which they’ve renovated since paying $855,000 last year. It has been listed by Tony Dowling and Vicki Laing at Laing Real Estate.
Their participation in the Channel 9 show has already been called into question by The Block’s diehard fan base who quickly recognised them from Channel 7’s renovation show Aussie Property Flippers.
Mitch, 56 and Mark, 57, were chosen from more than 45,000 entrants. Together 14 years, the couple have been flipping since they were a year into their relationship.
While they say that they have no practical building experience, and have never been “on the tools”, they are no strangers to the arduous parts of living through a renovation.

Their flipping has mostly been done around Kings Cross with the Elan apartment building having seen some of their money-spinning successes.
In 2009 they paid $890,000 for a two-bedroom 20th-floor apartment which sold for $1.34 million just 18 months later. They sold a 24th-floor two-bedder for $1,875,000 in 2017 having paid $1.47 million two years earlier.
They made $300,000 on a Tamarama apartment in just nine months, buying for $780,000 and selling for $1,065,000 in late 2016 just before the boom ended.
The Fletcher St offering was back for sale at $965,000, but recently withdrawn through Tom Murray at LJ Hooker.
The Block returns for its 15th season next month with a transformation of the Oslo hostel into five homes in Melbourne’s St Kilda. The workload was double last year’s Gatwick and six times the original Block in Bondi in 2003.
