Sydney developer Deicorp is set to officially open its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hills-showground-village-castle-hill-2-mandala-parade-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Showground Village</a> precinct in Castle Hill.

NSW Premier Chris Minns will attend the opening on Sunday August 31, alongside&nbsp;Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully, The Hills Shire Council Mayor Dr Michelle Byrne, Landcom CEO Alex Wendler, and Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri.

There will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony before a tour of the newly opened retail precinct.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Located just moments from Hills Showground Metro Station, the centre spans 9,500 sqm across four levels and features 26 specialty retailers as well as a 1,400 sqm public plaza, creating a new community meeting point for shopping, dining, fitness, and everyday convenience.&nbsp;

The grand opening will be celebrated with a family fun day, featuring free entertainment, children’s activities, and a Skill Tester Machine with guaranteed prizes ranging from Woolworths gift cards to a $5,000 Flight Centre voucher.&nbsp;

Showground Village forms part of the Hills Showground Station Precinct, an urban renewal initiative led by Landcom and Sydney Metro that will provide for around 2,300 new jobs over the next 20 years and around 9,000 new homes.&nbsp;

Deicorp was recently approved for another new development next door to Showground Village.

The new five residential buildings in the East Showgrounds Precinct, will see another 873 dwellings delivered, as well as&nbsp;3,500 sqm of open public space in the form of landscaped courtyards, a public park and communal outdoor recreational space including a playground, barbeque area, and outdoor seating.

“This approval will allow us to start construction on a range of beautifully designed, conveniently located apartments and create another vibrant, walkable and well-connected community,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp" target="">Deicorp</a>&nbsp;Founder Fouad Deiri.

“These new homes will provide their residents with a seamless connection to jobs and services along Metro North West, and the new&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hills-showground-village-castle-hill-2-mandala-parade-castle-hill" target="">Hills Showground Village</a>&nbsp;retail precinct currently under construction."

Deicorp has several thousand apartments in planning and under construction across Sydney, from Zetland and Five Dock to Crows Nest and Macquarie Park.

Deicorp, NSW Premier to officially open Showground Village, Castle Hill’s new retail and hospitality hub

The Minns Labor Government will deliver Sydney’s first new heavy rail station in more than a decade – enabling up to 10,000 new homes by rezoning land around Woollahra and Edgecliff stations, right next to the CBD, to tackle the housing crisis and rebalance growth across the city.

Recent reports by the NSW Productivity Commission have warned that Sydney is losing twice as many young people as it is gaining, while also finding that Woollahra is the most feasible Local Government Area (LGA) in New South Wales to build new housing.

Despite this, housing approvals in Woollahra consistently lag well behind other LGAs, and the population has declined by 11 per cent over the past 50 years while Greater Sydney as a whole has grown by 74 per cent.

The new station that will be an eight-minute trip from Sydney CBD, will be located on the Eastern Suburbs train line in Woollahra, where a station build was started in the 1970s but never completed.

To enable the delivery of new homes the NSW Government will lead a rezoning of Woollahra and Edgecliff stations similar to other state led rezonings to allow additional homes to be built around the stations.

Affordable housing will also make up a proportion of development on the site with the final amount of affordable housing required, to be determined as part of the rezoning process.

The area surrounding the new station is within walking distance of major green and recreational space including Cooper, Trumper, Rushcutters Bay and Centennial Parks.

The Eastern Suburbs train line between Bondi Junction and Sydney CBD also has the lowest passenger usage rates during the AM peak of any line on the Sydney network, with only 43 per cent of operating capacity during the AM peak currently being utilised by passengers.

Sydney Water and Infrastructure NSW have confirmed there is capacity in the water and wastewater systems to accommodate the proposed 10,000 dwellings without major upgrades.

The rezoning is expected to take around two years and will further support the Government’s housing targets that rebalance the delivery of new homes around existing infrastructure.

Fresh off completing its mixed-use Malvern project Malvern Collective, Kokoda Property Group has acquired a prime site on Richmond's Bridge Road.

They are planning a mid-rise residential development with&nbsp;integrated wellness amenities and a vibrant ground-floor retail and dining offering.

The site, at&nbsp;487–495 Bridge Road, spans&nbsp;1,650 sqm with 50 metres of dual frontage across Bridge Road and Palmer Street. It is currently leased to Adairs, and has a large retail building and 20 onsite car parks.
</section>

<section data-element_type="section" data-id="534a164">
Kokoda Property Group’s acquisition forms part of a broader phase of growth in Melbourne, building on momentum from the completion of Malvern Collective and the recent purchase of a Burnley Street site for the developer’s first commercial project.&nbsp;

Mark Stevens, Kokoda Property Group’s Founder and Managing Director, said that the company’s Bridge Road site acquisition signals confidence in a city that is re-accelerating.

“Melbourne is regaining momentum,"&nbsp;Stevens said.

"After a cautious period post-COVID, we’re seeing buyer sentiment stabilise and capital leaning back into well-located, quality projects. Victoria now benefits from deep builder capacity and competitive delivery pricing, creating a rare opportunity to bring design-led inner-city developments to market without compromising on craftsmanship.

“Richmond ticks all the boxes for us – connectivity, culture and everyday amenity – making Bridge Road the perfect address for an amenity-rich, multi-use development."

Envisioned as an “urban lantern” the building will bring a distinctive new presence to Bridge Road with a sculptural retail frontage, designed to honour the street’s heritage character while contributing to its renewal.

Stevens said the acquisition reflects the developer’s commitment to design-led addresses in Melbourne’s inner city.

“Drawing on Richmond’s rich heritage and dynamic character, we’ve envisioned a contemporary building that respects the past while elevating the way people live today. With dual frontages, curated ground-floor spaces, and a focus on wellness, this project will contribute to the neighbourhood’s evolution, appealing to both downsizers and a new generation of professionals.”

Kokoda Property will now progress concept design ahead of a future planning process.

First look: Kokoda secures Richmond site for new apartment development

Gold Coast developer Drew Group is fast approaching sell-out at its Main Beach apartment development, Lagoon Main Beach.

In the last nine months, Drew Group and sales partner Pezet Matheson have secured 31 sales totalling over $75 million, as the two-tower development advances towards completion under the expert eye of Hutchinson Builders.

“Today's buyers are more discerning than ever," Drew Group Managing Director Jon Drew says.

"It's essential to provide something truly unique that sets a development apart, and we believe Lagoon has achieved just that."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=193023]

Just over 50 per cent of recent&nbsp;sales have been to local buyers, reflecting the deep trust and connection within the Gold Coast community that Drew Group has developed over the years.

Demand has been particularly robust at the top end, with two of the three exclusive penthouses already sold, alongside five sub-penthouses. Only seven apartments remain in Lagoon's Signature Series — one&nbsp;penthouse and six sub-penthouses.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=284864]

Drew Group has also removed the much-maligned sunset clause from all contracts at Lagoon. The sunset clause — although rarely invoked, yet on occasion known to have been — allows developers to take back contracts on apartments should the building not be completed within the timeframe specified in the contract.

Pezet Matheson Co-Director Jayde Pezet says the fact Lagoon is&nbsp;within a year of completion, and has no sunset clause in contracts, provides certainty to buyers.

"This is paramount in the current market," Pezet says.

Drew Group has committed to providing the highest level of security inclusions — none more impressive than the Ubiquity Access Control System, a cutting-edge facial recognition technology that is one of the most state-of-the-art keyless entry systems on the market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=190743]

One of the biggest drawcards to Lagoon has been the size of the apartments.

"It is unlikely that any future new development in Main Beach will be able to offer such spacious living at this price point," Drew says.

"Today's buyers are more discerning than ever, carefully evaluating amenities like gyms, spas, workspaces, and beach lockers, along with quality finishes. It's essential to provide something truly unique that sets a development apart, and we believe Lagoon has achieved just that."

Lagoon is set to complete construction in mid-2026.

Lagoon Main Beach approaches sell-out as local buyers drive $75m in sales

National apartment developer Abadeen has topped out its debut Gold Coast apartment project,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/villea-palm-beach-26-mawarra-street-palm-beach-qld-4221">Villea Palm Beach</a>.

Buyers will move into the $120 million development in early 2026, with builder Emicon now focusing its attention towards the fitout stage of the apartments.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a>’s Executive Chairman and Founder, Justin Brown, said topping out at Villea represented an exciting step forward for the company’s national growth and the delivery of a benchmark coastal development.

“Villea Palm Beach represents everything Abadeen stands for — design-led living, premium quality, and the convenience we are bringing for residents to feel part of a perfect beachside community," Brown said.

"It is a particularly special project for us, being our first with spectacular ocean views, just metres from the water and with the addition of ground-floor retail. To reach the top floor is a proud moment, and I am incredibly proud of the Abadeen and Emicon teams for the way they are bringing this project to life for future residents.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106840 project_image_fid=336444]

Pierre Saab, Director of builder <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/emicon">Emicon</a>, said topping out was an exciting milestone and the team is now focused on interiors and detailing.

“This is a fantastic milestone to reach. With the final roof pour complete, we’ve moved into the fit-out stage where the detailing will truly bring Villea to life,"&nbsp;Saab said.

"Standing on the top floor, the team was struck by the stunning 180-degree views of the ocean and all that <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> has to offer — a daily reminder of the exceptional lifestyle this project will deliver.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106840 project_image_fid=336441]

Nick Clydsdale, Director of SRQ, who is managing sales and marketing for Villea, said the milestone marks the next phase of the sales campaign.

“With construction now at its highest point, we are excited to kick start the next phase of the campaign off the back of strong sales momentum driven by the local market,"&nbsp;Clydsdale said.

"Villea is a prized offering in the popular suburb of Palm Beach— ideally suited to owner-occupiers and downsizers seeking a convenient and beautiful coastal lifestyle. At the same time, with forecasts pointing to further price growth across the Gold Coast in 2025, Villea offers investors the opportunity to enter early in the upswing cycle."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106840 project_image_fid=336442]

&nbsp;

Designed by acclaimed architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA</a>, Villea comprises 69 two- and three-bedroom residences with light-filled layouts, premium finishes including timber flooring, Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, and high-performance glazing to maximise comfort.

Many residences capture ocean views, while all benefiting from generous open plan designs and access to shared amenities like a&nbsp;pool, gym, barbecue facilities, and outdoor entertaining spaces, all just 400m from the beach.

A ground floor retail leasing campaign is also underway, with Abadeen set to handpick a curated mix of tenants to enhance the experience for both residents and the wider community.

Abadeen tops out Villea Palm Beach

Rosebery

As one of Sydney's first planned suburbs, Rosebery was created to accommodate expansive industrial workplaces in 1911.

Despite the&nbsp;once working-class suburb experiencing a transformation of its industrial warehouses into food and beverage hubs which has drawn peoples attention to Rosebery, there's been little activity in the new and off the plan apartment space, with land for a new development difficult to procure.

Rosebery ticks a lot of boxes for buyers. Its proximity to the city, just six kilometres and several transport routes to accomodate that, is one of the major drawcards, as is the distance to the University of New South Wales, just the other side of Moore Park.

One of the most recent entrants to the new and off the plan apartment space in Rosebery is The Rothschild by renowned developer Deicorp.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106843 project_image_fid=221673]

The Candelapas-designed apartment development is ideally located at 24 Rothschild Avenue, just six kilometres from Sydney’s city centre and within walking distance of the best Rosebery offers.&nbsp;

The Rothschild's design reflects the industrial heritage of Rosebery, but with European influences.&nbsp;The Rothschild is made with bricks, with the facade curtained by circular columns, arches, and cascading greenery.

Two eight-level buildings will home 176 apartments, multiple outdoor areas, a communal music room and a ground-level retail space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106843 project_image_fid=221666]

Residents can access the private landscaped rooftop gardens and the communal courtyard to relax, interact and play while enjoying quick access to the nearby Sweetacres Park.

With all the amenity options within The Rothschild, residents can enjoy the ground-level restaurant and café beneath the residential apartments. The East Village Shopping, Woolworths Metro Rosebery and Wholefoods House are all within walking distance of home for retail conveniences.

The Rothschild is just 550 metres from The Cannery, which really lit a spark under the suburb as a place to visit.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106843 project_image_fid=221672]

Housed in a revived warehouse space, The Cannery brings together food, drinks and designer homewares, with vendors such as Three Blue Ducks, Koskela and Archie Rose Distilling Co featured in the building, while popular favourites like Messina, Pizza Da Mario and Grandma’s have also made a home for themselves in the burgeoning suburb.&nbsp;

The Rothschild is located just across the road from Sweetacres Park, a green outlook rarely found in an inner-city suburb.

Construction on The Rothschild is well underway, with completion slated for early 2025.

Design brief: Meriton’s Polo Collection brings a modern and distinctive style to Rosebery 

The Laneways is the newest address in Rosebery, on the fringe of the Sydney CBD.

Ellerson Property Group are developing the&nbsp;118 apartment project across four buildings&nbsp;designed by Arc Architects.

The Laneways draws its name from a leafy pedestrian pathway connecting Mentmore Avenue to Dunning Avenue.

Urban sat down with Ellerson Property Group directors Fayad and Remon Fayad to discuss The Laneways.

JR: Why did you choose Rosebery as your first inner Sydney project?

Rosebery is one of the secret gems of Sydney&rsquo;s inner city.&nbsp;It is strategically located between the beach and the CBD, has strong infrastructure centring around Green Square and a thriving caf&eacute; dining scene.&nbsp; The opening of Gunyama Aquatic Centre is also a major leisure drawcard for health and leisure activities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24323]

JR: How did you initially scope out the project?

The Laneways site was part of the former 12-hectare Sweetacre confectionary factory which gave the world such iconic lollies as Red Frogs, Jaffas and Minties.&nbsp; The opportunity to breathe new life into the site, to build a micro-community in Rosebery was too good to pass up.&nbsp; We reviewed the scale of surrounding residences and set about creating four buildings that would blend elegantly into the streetscape.

JR: What do you think buyers would love about Rosebery?

There is an inviting urban vibe to Rosebery that people find appealing.&nbsp; The suburb has its own dining precinct with Blackstar Pastry and The Cannery serving up some of the best cuisine and coffee in Sydney.&nbsp; It is also home to numerous fashion and design outlets which gives the area a creative design-driven look and feel. &nbsp;

The blending of old industrial architecture with pared back modern luxury sits really well.&nbsp; A strong design aesthetic can also be seen in the Green Square public library which entices readers of all ages. &nbsp;

Pets are very much part of the family in Rosebery, so there are pet boutiques, grooming salons and dog-friendly cafes popping up near the large dog park across the road from The Laneways.

<a href="/buildings/the-laneways-rosebery-33-37-mentmore-avenue-rosebery-nsw"><img alt="" height="671" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/the_laneways_rosebery_exterior.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

JR: What was the architectural brief?

To create a boutique development with great bones, that connected Mentmore Avenue and Dunning Avenue to promote walkability for residents and the wider community.&nbsp; Also maximising the use of the rooftop terraces.

We also introduced a tech element into the design with the inclusion of Wi-Fi device chargers integrated into the kitchen benches and the inclusion of electric car charging bays in the basement.

JR: What are you most looking forward to seeing when the project is finished?

There is always a sense of achievement when the team finishes a building.&nbsp;You have taken an idea and brought it into reality.&nbsp; The team feels a strong affinity for The Laneways; part of the community.

Something unique to The Laneways that we are particularly proud of, is our public art project Song of Frogs. In researching the site, we learned that as well as the famed Red Frog lolly connection, the area was once a wetland long ago with frogs inhabiting the area.

Armed with that knowledge, we commissioned some of Australia&rsquo;s most formidable design and arts talents to design a succession of five unique bronze frogs that will inhabit the gardens connecting Mentmore and Dunning Avenue.&nbsp; Gentle frog songs will be heard as people walk through The Laneways. &nbsp;

We cannot wait to see the work of Ross Shepherd at Site Image, Tim Phillips from Tilt design, sculptors Clive Calder and Chris Hauge at the Australian Bronze Foundry at North Head installed.&nbsp; We are also honoured to have exceptional artist Dennis Golding who is the Create NSW and Artspace Visual Arts Emerging Fellow for 2020 and award-winning indigenous contemporary art curator Tess Allas working on the design.

JR: Which buyer demographic do you think suits The Laneways and why?

We are getting great interest from owner occupiers that want the emotional connection of a new home in the inner city.&nbsp; The project has been priced to offer options for both First Home Buyers who are starting their home ownership journey and next home buyers. &nbsp;

<a href="/buildings/the-laneways-rosebery-33-37-mentmore-avenue-rosebery-nsw"><img alt="" height="672" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/laneways_rosebery_2.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

JR: Where have the buyers come from?

Many of our buyers are from inner Sydney and work in the CBD.&nbsp; Buyers committed to Rosebery have been watching construction take place and are buying into The Laneways.

We have also had buyers who have moved from locations such as the Hills and rented locally to get a feel for the area before deciding to buy in Rosebery.

JR: Any plans for your next development?

We are looking at Croydon Park for our next venture.&nbsp; Again, a great location with its own unique character.

New apartments with modern designs, developed close to the CBD, are drawing quality tenants

Four new apartments in the City of Sydney from $592,800 

The Laneways is&nbsp;the newest address is Sydney&#39;s inner-city suburb of Rosebery.

Made up of four buildings comprising&nbsp;118 apartments designed by Arc Architects, The Laneways draws its name from a leafy pedestrian pathway connecting Mentmore Avenue to Dunning Avenue.

Ideally located and due for completion in the coming months, Urban has taken a look at five things buyers should know about The Laneways.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24323]

<h2>1. The Developer</h2>

The Laneways Rosebery is the work of Ellerson Property, Australia&rsquo;s first property development agency.&nbsp;

Founded by property industry veterans Fayad Fayad and Remon Fayad, Ellerson Property aims to bring the great Australian urban lifestyle to apartment living with accessible precincts designed for real people.

<h2>2. The Location&nbsp;</h2>

The Laneways is in the heart of Sydney&#39;s up-and-coming inner-city suburb Rosebery, six kilometres south of the Sydney CBD.

<a href="/buildings/the-laneways-rosebery-33-37-mentmore-avenue-rosebery-nsw"><img alt="" height="1009" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/the_laneways_2.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

It&#39;s located on Mentmore Avenue, the same strip as the suburb&#39;s biggest drawcard, The Cannery, an 11,000 sqm dining, retail and cafe precinct.&nbsp;

The Cannery homes over 40 commercial spaces, including the&nbsp;likes of the dining institution&nbsp;Three Blue Ducks and&nbsp;the popular&nbsp;gin distiller Archie Rose, as well as a number of cafes, gyms, hair salons and cooking schools.

It&#39;s a few hundred metres to the closest Woolworths Metro, The Australian Golf Club is up the road and it&#39;s just a short walk to the Green Square train station which has a direct line to the City and the Sydney Airport.

<h2>3. The Roof</h2>

Each building in The Laneways is crowned with its own sky garden&nbsp;with views across the CBD skyline.

The rooftops feature their own dining and barbecue facilities as well as lush landscaping.

<a href="/buildings/the-laneways-rosebery-33-37-mentmore-avenue-rosebery-nsw"><img alt="" height="698" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/laneways_rosebery_roof_2.jpg" width="1600" /></a>

<h2>4. The Apartments</h2>

Secret House Rules Rosebery auction

<html><body>
Gold Coast Titan and NSW Origin star Nathan Peats has sold his Rosebery investment apartment, a fortnight after its auction.
The two bedroom apartment had been an investment for Peats since he moved from the Gold Coast from the Eels.
It sold for $915,000.
The hooker paid $595,000 for the two bedroom apartment in 2012 during his two year stint at South Sydney Rabbitohs where he started his career.
His former Souths team mate turned NG Farah Real Estate agent Beau Champion sold the unit.
The apartment near Green Square was leased at $670 a week once Peats signed with the Titans in 2014.
A sign of the Sydney rental market saw the rental drop to $650 a week when seeking a tenant a year later.
The unit features a large private tiled courtyard off the open plan living area.
In 2014 Peats left the Eels for the Gold Coast in 2014 following the much publicised salary cap breach.
His property portfolio's most recent addition was when he paid $518,000 for a three bedroom timber home in Lota outside of Brisbane last year. 
He retains a three bedroom Central Coast home in Wyoming that cost $420,000 in 2015. 
Peat's Titans finished 15th on the ladder this season. He will spend the off-season in rehabilition after undergoing shoulder reconstruction surgery at the end of August.

NSW Origin star Nathan Peats sells Rosebery investment

<html><body>
The fearless NSW Origin debutant Nathan Peats is selling his Sydney investment pad. 
The Gold Coast Titan has decided to list redundant Rosebery investment unit.
Amassing 53 tackles in a memorable performance, Peats, who covered 8.1 kilometres in the mid-week game, the most ground ever recorded in Origin, paid $595,000 in 2012 for the two bedroom, two bathroom apartment.
It was during his two year stint with South Sydney where he started his career.
The apartment near Green Square has been listed by new NG Farah real estate recruit agent Beau Champion, who is a former Rabbitohs team mate.
The pair both played at the Bunnies together for a brief period before Peats moved to the Eels.
Peats initially put the apartment as a $670 a week rental once he signed with the Titans in 2014.
Its 2015 tenancy was sought at around $650 a week for the apartment with an open plan living area that opens to a large tiled private courtyard.
Peats left the Eels for the Gold Coast in 2014 following the much publicised salary cap breach.
His property portfolio's most recent addition was when he paid $518,000 for a three bedroom timber home in Lota (pictured below) outside of Brisbane last year.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/04/01/lot-two.jpg" alt="">
It was advertised as having potential for developers due to its 800 square metre parcel.
Peats retains a three bedroom Central Coast home in Wyoming (pictured below) that cost $420,000 in 2015.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/04/01/lot-three.jpg" alt="">
Last month the Daily Telegraph reported that Parramatta chief executive Bernie Gurr said he will consider luring Peats back to the club.
His former teammates Beau Champion recently joined the N G Farah sales team having played over 100 first-grade games for South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Even as an accomplished professional footballer, Beau was always passionate about property especially around the south eastern suburbs of Sydney which Beau considered his backyard.
