Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> has secured planning approval for a $300 million residential development in Lindfield, marking the company’s second project on Sydney’s North Shore and its first on the Upper North Shore.

Located on Beaconsfield Parade and designed by DKO Architecture, the state significant development comprises three buildings of up to 10 storeys and will include 399 residences, including 59 affordable homes and 40 adaptable homes.

Residences will range in size from one, two and three bedrooms, with two-bedroom apartments accounting for over 60 per cent of the product make-up. Residents will have access to a broad suite of amenities, including a wellness area, indoor and outdoor recreational spaces, a pool, a gym, a community room and a golf simulator.

In line with Deicorp’s long-standing focus on creating transit-oriented communities, the project is located just 260 metres from the Lindfield Train Station, reinforcing its role in delivering well-connected housing close to established infrastructure, retail and local services.

The inclusion of affordable and adaptable housing supports greater diversity within the local market, while the mix of apartment types responds to demand from downsizers, young professionals and families seeking access to the Upper North Shore.

Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri OAM said the approval represents an important milestone for both the company and the suburb

“This approval allows us to deliver well-designed homes in a location that is already supported by strong transport and community infrastructure," Deiri said.

"Our focus is on creating places that integrate into their surroundings and provide long-term value for residents, and the broader Lindfield community. Being within walking distance of the station ensures this project supports sustainable growth in the right locations."

Across its portfolio, Deicorp currently has 4,703 apartments under construction, playing a leading role in shaping connected, liveable communities across Sydney.

Its expanding portfolio of Metro-linked developments includes Tallawong Village, <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> in Five Dock, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hyde-metropolitan-sydney-133-141-liverpool-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Hyde Metropolitan</a> in Sydney CBD, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/falcon-alexander-crows-nest-8-alexander-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Falcon &amp; Alexander</a> in Crows Nest and Showground Village, Castle Hill.

Deicorp purchased the Beaconsfield Paradise site last year. Construction is scheduled to commence in Q2 of 2026 and will be completed in 2029.

In a joint venture with The Trump Organization, Australia developer Altus Property Group has announced plans to bring a Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower to the Gold Coast, marking the first Trump-branded project in Australia.

&nbsp;

"Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast is our first official project in Australia and reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering world-class luxury experiences in iconic locations around the world," Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, said.

"This development exemplifies the Trump brand’s dedication to quality, sophistication, and unmatched service, and we are thrilled to bring this vision to the vibrant Gold Coast community."

The 91-storey building, which will become the tallest in Australia at 335 metres, will feature a&nbsp;285-room luxury hotel bearing the trademark Trump logo. It will also include 272 luxury residential apartments, a three-level podium with an exclusive Beach Club, and over 3,400 sqm of premium commercial, retail, and dining space, revitalizing the central Surfers Paradise precinct.

“Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast will be a truly unique offering in the Australian market, bringing the prestige and allure of a world-class luxury brand,"&nbsp;Altus founder and chief executive David Young said.

More than a century after the Corrimal Coke Works first opened in 1912, the industrial landmark that helped shape the suburb is being reinterpreted as a walkable residential neighbourhood, with Stage One of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-works-stage-one-27-railway-street-corrimal-nsw-2518">The Works</a> now underway at 27 Railway Street.

For 102 years, the site was central to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/corrimal-nsw-2518">Corrimal</a>’s economic and social identity before operations ceased in 2014. Rather than erasing that legacy, developer Legacy Property has embedded it into the masterplan, retaining and reinterpreting elements such as the iconic 1912 brick chimney and sections of the original C1 Coke Oven Battery, alongside the adaptive reuse of the former powerhouse building.

Stage One will introduce 181 apartments across low-rise buildings, offering predominantly two and three-bedroom residences with completion targeted for mid-2027. The scale and configuration reflect a deliberate focus on owner-occupiers, targeting those seeking a lower-maintenance home in a prime location within the northern suburbs of Wollongong.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359833]

Apartments have been designed to maximise natural light and cross-ventilation, with floor-to-ceiling glazing extending living areas onto generous balconies. Engineered timber flooring, induction cooktops and 900mm ovens in larger residences support everyday functionality, while two interior palettes allow buyers to tailor finishes to their preferences. The material selection draws on a restrained coastal language, intended to connect homes to their surroundings rather than compete with them.

The Works forms part of a broader 18-hectare masterplan that will ultimately deliver around 550 dwellings, new parks, and a heritage precinct celebrating the site’s past. More than seven hectares are dedicated to open space, including Southern Park and a Village Green with community gardens and recreation areas. The creek corridor is being rehabilitated with 150,000 native plantings, restoring biodiversity to the site and softening landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359841]

Positioned adjacent to Corrimal Station and within walking distance of Corrimal Town Centre, the precinct places daily essentials, rail connections and local retail within easy reach. Wollongong CBD, including the hospital, university and entertainment venues, sits approximately 6.5 kilometres to the south.

For buyers more familiar with North Wollongong, Corrimal offers a different proposition: a well-established coastal suburb framed by beaches to the east and the escarpment to the west, with a strong sense of local identity shaped in part by the former Coke Works. The Works seeks to reinforce that identity by creating a connected, walkable neighbourhood between coast and escarpment, rather than a standalone apartment complex.

Sustainability underpins the development approach. The Works is targeting Wollongong’s first 5-Star Green Star-rated community, with water-sensitive urban design, recycled materials and energy-efficient buildings integrated across the masterplan. For residents, these measures provide not only environmental benefits but also reduced operational costs and future resilience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359842]

With construction commenced and display materials available to view, prospective buyers can now engage more directly with the project’s vision, reviewing floorplans, material selections and the broader masterplan in detail. For many local homeowners weighing a move, the opportunity to experience how heritage, landscape and contemporary design intersect may help bridge the gap between familiarity and the next chapter.

As Stage One progresses toward its mid-2027 completion, The Works represents a significant chapter in Corrimal’s evolution, transforming a site that once powered local industry into a walkable residential precinct designed for its next generation of residents.

When it comes to developing in Melb​ourne's Bayside region, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lowe-living">Lowe Living</a> knows exactly what buyers want.

With a longstanding presence in the area and a string of sell-out projects, Lowe Living consistently delivers developments that are as sought-after as their predecessors.

Their latest instalment is in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-vic-3188">Hampton</a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-east-vic-3188">&nbsp;East,</a> the same postcode where they have previously delivered Hampton Hill and Oceano. The developer-builder recently commenced construction on its newest project,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marella-hampton-31-35-alicia-street-hampton-east-vic-3188">Marella</a>, a collection of 32 apartments just five minutes from the beach.

Site acquisition is paramount to success. Lowe Living rarely brings a building to market that isn’t within walking distance of essential amenities, whether it be the beach, a prominent retail strip, or a train station. Marella is no exception, located at its Alicia Street address, less than a kilometre from the retail heart of Hampton Street and Hampton Station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358495]

Equally important to Lowe Living is the architecture.

For Marella, they appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, who explains that the architectural vision was to create a contemporary reinterpretation of the Californian bungalow, a style that’s iconic to Hampton’s heritage.

"By borrowing, abstracting, and reinterpreting elements of this quintessential style, such as strong datum lines, articulated columns, exposed structures, and roof tiles, our design strikes a balance between modernity and familiarity," says Cera Stribley.

"This approach ensures that the development is not only visually appealing but also contextually sensitive, resonating with Hampton's existing architectural landscape."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358499]

The building features terracotta brick, soft cream masonry, and exposed metal detailing, giving it a tactile presence that is intended to weather gently over time.

Internally, the focus on lasting quality continues, with two and three-bedroom residences anchored by sculptural stone kitchen islands, natural light, and clearly defined transitions between living, dining, and outdoor spaces.

The layouts have been carefully designed. Open-plan zones extend to private balconies, with light-filled interiors and generous kitchen proportions, supported by Miele wall ovens, induction cooktops, and integrated fridge-freezers. These are not small apartments rebranded as luxury; they have been designed at scale, with ample storage, hotel-style entry access, and secure basement parking provided as standard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358492]

At the uppermost level, Marella’s Signature Collection penthouses offer city or bay views, large entertaining terraces (some with outdoor spas), and elevated finishes, including fully wrapped stone kitchen benches and a Liebherr wine fridge.

Flexible room arrangements allow for a fourth bedroom or secondary living space, sought-after by both empty nesters who want the space when family visits and families with older children.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358498]

A residents’ lounge on the ground floor reinforces the project’s small-community feel. With a fireplace, private dining area, and adjoining terrace, it’s one of several shared spaces that balance amenity with privacy and scale.

Construction has commenced, with completion expected in early 2027.

Lowe Living continues Bayside legacy as Marella rises in Hampton

A Moroccan-bathhouse residential tower has been unveiled for Budds Beach, with Australian developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/homecorp">Homecorp</a> announcing plans for a $260 million resort-style project in one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held waterfront precincts.

A development application has been submitted to the Gold Coast City Council for a 27-storey tower at 8-10 Acacia Avenue and 25-27 Oak Avenue, Surfers Paradise, marking one of the few new large-scale residential projects proposed for the precinct in more than a decade.

The project will comprise 156 two- and three-bedroom residences, anchored by a residents-only Moroccan spa-inspired wellness sanctuary featuring private treatment rooms, a traditional Nordic sauna and steam room, hot and cold plunge pools and a curated juice bar. There will also be a resort-style rooftop precinct, complete with a heated infinity pool and spa, a residents’ lounge with a private kitchen and bar, a contemporary fitness centre with a yoga and Pilates studio, and outdoor BBQ areas with entertaining lounges.

<img alt="8-10 Acacia Avenue and 25-27 Oak Avenue, Surfers Paradise" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="997f8dbb-4ed1-47e4-8780-d12a3d5cd0e9" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Article%20Feature%20Image%20%28Grid%29_3.png?VersionId=IsDJXxE8.HG92i4dnbmmPQi.fVXjME7I" />

"At Homecorp, we are driven by the pursuit of better - challenging expectations, thinking bigger and shaping communities that leave a lasting legacy," said Ron Bakir, CEO and Founder of Homecorp.

"This project draws on our experience and expertise to take what the market has been craving to the next level - a home that nurtures wellness, calms the mind and lifts the everyday stresses away. A home is more than a place you live, it’s where you rest, reset and find balance."

&nbsp;

Bakir says what sets the location&nbsp;apart is its rare, tightly held nature within one of the Gold Coast’s most vibrant lifestyle and entertainment precincts, yet quietly tucked away in a peaceful, beachside enclave.

"Budds Beach has remained exceptionally limited in supply over the past decade and this site presented an unmatched opportunity to deliver something truly special to both Surfers Paradise and the Gold Coast.”

Conveniently connected to major roads and the G:link, residents will enjoy easy access to Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach and Burleigh Heads, while still being just minutes from the city’s most iconic beaches and the Broadwater’s ‘golden mile’.

The 2130 sqm site acquisition adds to Homecorp’s growing Gold Coast multi-storey portfolio on the Gold Coast, following the success of Eve Residences in Labrador upon its completion in November 2024. In 2025, Eve earned multiple national accolades and went on to win ‘Best Oceanview Condo Development’ in the Asia Pacific region at the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards Grand Final, outperforming entries from more than 13 prestigious international markets.

The company also commenced construction last year on the highly anticipated $250 million second stage of Cienna Varsity Ridge, set to deliver 289 residences by 2027 in the heart of Varsity Lakes, and launched the $210 million Florence Residences along Surfers Paradise’s Monte Carlo Avenue to the market, with construction kicking off last month.

"The property market is constantly evolving, particularly here on the Gold Coast, which continues to outperform national trends thanks to its unmatched lifestyle, natural beauty and growing infrastructure, especially ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympics. We are proud to be adding more homes to the skyline, creating spaces that are not only designed for liveability but also nurture wellness within. They are homes that are built to last a lifetime and beyond," concluded Mr Bakir.

The project is set to launch to the market later this year.

Residential Resales

<html><body>
The off the plan buyer of a sub-penthouse in Sydney’s Loftus Lane development has scored a big resale as the project nears completion.

The sub-penthouse A603 in the luxury project near Sydney Harbour sold for $5.4 million, having been snapped up at the sales launch back in mid-2017 for $4.975 million direct from the developer AMP Capital.

Ayre Real Estate director Craig Donohue sold the apartment to a Northern Beaches local who had been looking for a Sydney CBD base for around 12 months.

<a href="/buildings/quay-quarter-18-loftus-street-sydney"><img alt="" height="889" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/8_loftus_lane_circular_2.jpg" width="1200"></a>

Donohue said the buyer was shown a few apartments in established and other new developments in the CBD but Loftus Lane's location was a stand out.

"He also loved the fact that this property had a substantial and very usable outdoor space and was really impressed with the design of the building", Donohue said.

Due to settle in April, 8 Loftus Lane has been designed by Studio Bright and will comprise 106 apartments across three Art Deco-style buildings.

<a href="/buildings/quay-quarter-18-loftus-street-sydney"><img alt="" height="730" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/8_loftus_2.jpg" width="1200"></a>

Loftus Lane is part of Quay Quarter Sydney, the dynamic new neighbourhood and major redevelopment of two complete city blocks up near Circular Quay.

When the apartments hit the market in mid-2017, they all sold out within two hours of the launch.

Donohue says there is strong buyer demand for luxury apartments in the CBD.

“The Sydney CBD landscape is changing from a business district to a luxury world class lifestyle hub”, Donohue says.

“As the new developments come closer to completion, buyer can not only see what the final product looks like, but also plan to take occupancy this year which is generating lots of excitement”.

Despite a slowing property market, the vast majority of home sales (nine out of 10) in Australia are still turning a profit for their vendors, according to CoreLogic's latest quarterly Pain &amp; Gain Report.
Across the nation, 91.1% of all properties that resold in the December quarter went for a price above their previous purchase price.
Investors are more likely to sell properties at a loss than owner-occupiers, according to the new CoreLogic report.
<div title="Page 1">
<div>
<div>
<div>
The quarterly CoreLogic Pain &amp; Gain report tracks home sales across Australia and reveals the proportion of sales being sold at a profit versus those being sold at a loss.
Over the three months to December 2017, 91.1% of all properties that resold transacted at, or above, their previous purchase price.
The 91.1% figure was up slightly from 90.9% at the end of the third quarter of 2017 but slightly lower than the 91.3% over the final quarter of 2016.
CoreLogic recorded a reasonable gap between the proportions of houses reselling for a gross profit; 92.3% of all resales, while 88.2% of all unit resales were at a profit.
Research analyst Cameron Kusher said with property values continuing to increase over the final quarter of 2017, albeit at a more moderate pace, the proportion of properties resold at a profit has continued to climb.
Profits earned from property resales over this period totalled $17.832 billion.
By comparison the resale losses amounted to just $442.0 million in realised losses. The analysis found that the vast majority of the $17.832 billion in profit was generated by Sydney and Melbourne and accounted for 33.1% and 29.4% of total profits respectively. As a comparison, these two cities accounted for just 11.3% and 6.6% of the total value of losses nationally over the quarter. Across the nation, a higher proportion of houses are resold at a profit than units.
According to Kusher, this trend was also replicated across the combined capital city and combined regional markets. Sydney was the only region to record a greater proportion of units resold for a profit over the quarter than houses, although Hobart had an equivalent share for houses and units. (refer breakdown in attached report)
“Over recent years, value growth for units has substantially underperformed that of houses, as a result in most regions of the country a higher proportion of houses resold for a profit than units,” Mr Kusher said.
In Melbourne, units were almost 10 times more likely to resell at a loss than houses while in Brisbane units were almost 9 times more likely to resell at a loss than houses. In Canberra units were 7.4 times more likely to resell at a loss than houses.
For the capital cities, the proportion of houses reselling at a gross profit was higher over the quarter in Brisbane, Adelaide and Darwin but lower elsewhere. For units, there was a higher proportion of resales at a profit over the quarter in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Hobart and Canberra.
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div title="Page 2">
<div>
<div>
<div>
In the regional housing markets, the proportion of houses reselling for a profit increased over the quarter in Regional NSW, Regional Vic, Regional WA and Regional Tas. For units, profit-making resales increased over the quarter in all regions except for Regional NT.
The regions now showing the lowest proportion of resales at a loss are those surrounding Sydney and Melbourne. At the other end of the spectrum, three regions, all of which are linked to the resources sector, recorded at least half of all resales at a loss over the quarter. The regions nationally with the highest proportion of resales at a loss are typically linked to the resources sector. It should be noted that in many of these regions the share of losses is now lower than at the peak however instances of loss remain elevated; a reflection that housing values remain well below their peaks in these areas.
Investors continued to be more likely to resell their properties at a loss than owner occupiers during the final quarter of 2017. Over the quarter, 7.5% of owner occupied properties sold at a loss compared to the 11.3% of investor owned properties. Sydney was the only major region of the country in which a higher proportion of investors resold their property at a loss than owner occupiers.
93.9% of capital city properties resold by owner occupiers transacted at a profit over the December 2017 quarter compared to 90.7% of investor owned properties. Throughout all capital cities the gap in profit making-resales between owner occupiers and investors was not that large however, across individual cities the results were much more varied. Melbourne investors were 4 times more likely to resell a property at a loss than an owner occupier, in Brisbane investors were 2.6 times as likely to sell at a loss and in Canberra they were 5.2 times as likely to sell for a loss.
Across the regional areas of the country, investors were much more likely to resell a property for a loss (15.3%) than owner occupiers (9.8%). While in each region owner occupiers were more likely than investors to resell for a profit, the gap between the two vendor type performances was nowhere near as great in regional areas as what was recorded in some capital city markets.
Kusher said clearly any property owner will aim to make a profit from the sale of their property.
“In a falling market owner occupiers may be more prepared to sell at a loss if they are purchasing their next home at an equivalent or greater discount. Meanwhile, investors, because of taxation rules, would seemingly be more prepared to incur a loss because they, unlike owner occupiers, can offset those loses against future capital gains.”
“If home values fall, investors may be more inclined to sell at a loss and offset those losses which in turn could result in much more supply becoming available for purchase at a time in which demand for housing falls because values are declining.”
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div title="Page 3">
<div>
<div>
<div>
“More up-to-date dwelling value data has shown that in most capital cities dwelling values have been falling over recent months while regional values have continued to increase, albeit at a slower pace. These trends are expected to continue in 2018 and given that it should be expected that the proportion of properties reselling at a profit may begin to reduce over the coming quarters,” he said.

Nine out of 10 resales show profit despite slowing market: CoreLogic

<html><body>
Over the March 2016 quarter, 9.2 percent of all apartments in capital cities resold recorded a gross loss when compared to their previous purchase price according to CoreLogic.
The report said over the first quarter of 2016, 6.9 percent of capital city properties resold at a loss compared to 13.1 percent of regional properties.
"Over the past quarter, the proportion of loss making resales has increased from 5.6 percent at the end of 2015 across the combined capital cities and fallen from 13.4 percent in regional markets. In fact, regional areas of the country have just recorded their lowest proportion of loss-making resales since the three months to July 2011," it said.
<a href="/images/2016/06/30/Screen%20Shot%202016-06-30%20at%2011.49.03%20AM.png" target="_blank">Click to enlarge</a>
<img src="/images/2016/06/30/Screen%20Shot%202016-06-30%20at%2011.49.03%20AM.png" alt="">
CoreLogic's Cameron Kusher said the trends in regional areas are shifting with the proportion of loss-making resales trending lower in areas linked to tourism and lifestyle.
"On the other hand, housing markets linked to the resources sector are generally seeing an elevated level of loss-making resales after housing market conditions in many of these locations have posted a sharp correction,” he said.
"Nationally there was $361.0 million in realised losses over the quarter at an average of $66,073 and $12.9 billion in realised profit at an average of $239,855. Across the capital cities, there were $187.0 million in losses with an average of $72,042 per loss-making resale compared to $10.2 billion in profit at an average of $294,045.
"The combined regional areas recorded $174.7 million in losses at an average of $60,689 compared to $2.7 billion in profit at an average of $140,992. The average losses were greater in the capital cities; however they also generally experienced much greater profits, more than double those in regional areas."

One in nine apartments selling for a loss with Melbourne even higher: CoreLogic

<html><body>
The vast majority of property owners who sold their home in the December 2015 quarter sold at in excess of their previous purchase price according the latest CoreLogic RP Data quarterly Pain and Gain Report.
The Pain &amp; Gain Report found that 91.6 per cent of properties resold for profit over the quarter with 31.2 per cent of homes selling for more than double their purchase price. The total value of all profit was $17.1 billion with the average gross ‘gain’ $270,842 per sale.
Only 8.4 per cent of homes resold recorded a gross loss compared with their original purchase price, up slightly from 8.3 per cent for the September quarter. The total value of loss over the quarter was $399 million. The average ‘pain’ felt for these properties was $69,493.
Report author Cameron Kusher said, “Whether for investment or owner occupation, the results highlight the fact that property ownership should be seen as a long-term investment.”
“Across the country, our results show that homes which resold for a loss had an average length of ownership of 6.7 years. For gross profit sales, the average length of ownership was recorded at 10.1 years, while homes which sold for more than double their previous purchase price were owned for an average of 17.7 years.
“Our results have shown that investors over owner occupiers were more likely to resell their properties at a loss. Over the quarter, 7.2 per cent of owner occupier sales nationally were at a gross loss compared to 10.6 per cent for investor owned stock.
“The losses experienced by investors comes down to the fact that this group may be more willing to accept a loss on sale due to the tax implications of being able to offset the loss against future capital gains,” he said.
The Pain &amp; Gain report findings also confirmed a proportion of loss-making resales across the national capitals are now trending lower expect for Perth and Darwin where the instances of losses are increasing.
Mr Kusher said, “The trends reflect the fact that over the past year, home values have increased in all capital cities other than Perth and Darwin. Not so surprising is the result for Sydney and Melbourne; both cities have seen significant increases in home values over recent years and therefore, fewer loss-making resales occurred compared with other capital cities.”
Within the regional areas of the country the proportion of loss-making resales is higher than those within the capital cities. The proportion of loss-making resale’s is currently trending  lower in Regional NSW, Regional Queensland,  Regional Tasmania and is fairly flat in Regional Victoria and higher elsewhere.

Mr Kusher said, “Capital city housing markets continue to record a lower proportion of loss-making resales than regional areas of the country. We’re seeing the trend shifting in regional areas with the proportion of loss-making resales trending lower particularly in areas linked to tourism and lifestyle factors.
“Housing markets linked to the resources sector are generally seeing an increase in loss-making resale’s after housing market conditions in many of these locations have posted a sharp correction,” he said.
