Construction is now underway at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/cumulus-grand-villas-carrara-17-baltimore-court-carrara-qld-4211">Cumulus Grand Villas</a> in Carrara, with all stages fully funded as <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/venturecrowd-property-projects">VentureCrowd</a> progresses its 59-residence gated community on an elevated ridgeline overlooking 100 hectares of natural savanna.

The commencement marks a key milestone for the Gold Coast project, designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a> and being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/devcon">Devcon Property Group</a>, at a time when buyers are placing greater emphasis on delivery certainty and builder track record.

With Devcon active in South East Queensland since 1993 and having delivered more than 1,000 homes, the team is positioning Cumulus as a fully financed, under-construction offering in a market where risk mitigation has become a central consideration for off-the-plan purchasers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360496]

Located at 17 Baltimore Court, Cumulus Grand Villas comprises 59 three- and four-bedroom villas across four collections, Skyline, Canopy, Savanna and Broadview. Pricing starts from $1,455,000, with completion of the first stage targeted for Q4 2026.

Across the four collections, each design represents an expansive and thoughtfully considered offering. The Broadview provides additional flexibility within its floorplan, incorporating a multipurpose room or optional additional bedroom, and is priced from $1,895,000.&nbsp;

Configured across two levels, the four-bedroom villas feature two master bedrooms with private ensuites, as well as a multipurpose room (MPR), supporting intergenerational living, guest accommodation, or the creation of a dedicated retreat space.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360497]

The main living areas are positioned on the ground floor, while the bedrooms are located upstairs, a configuration that promotes both family separation and connected living. All villas include a second master suite on the ground floor, reinforcing the project’s focus on flexibility and long-term adaptability.

That adaptability was central to BDA Architecture’s design approach. The team sought to create a sophisticated, low-maintenance product that makes the most of the site’s elevation and outlook while responding to evolving household needs. Expansive glazing, open-plan interiors and private outdoor areas draw in natural light and frame views towards the savanna, hinterland and Broadbeach skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360470]

VentureCrowd Director of Property David Whitting said the project responds to a growing group of buyers reassessing what premium living on the Gold Coast looks like.

Flexible floorplans have proven particularly relevant for purchasers aged between 40 and 65, including next home buyers, downsizers and investors. The inclusion of dual master suites in the Broadview design, along with options for a downstairs MPR or guest bedroom, allows homes to adapt as family dynamics shift, whether accommodating older parents, adult children, or extended stays.

Across the community, villas are specified with European appliances and premium fixtures and fittings, alongside double garages and landscaped private areas. The gated enclave includes number plate recognition entry, reinforcing a focus on security and exclusivity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360474]

Lifestyle amenity is anchored by the Infinity Terrace, an elevated communal space incorporating a 20m heated pool, alfresco zones and barbecue facilities, designed as a shared retreat within the neighbourhood. A two-acre private nature reserve with walking trails and rehabilitated bushland further integrates the development with its savanna-edge setting, reflecting a broader masterplan initiative to restore native vegetation and habitat corridors.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/carrara-qld-4211">Carrara</a>’s positioning continues to attract attention from prestige buyers seeking proximity to the coast without beachfront pricing. The suburb offers access to major retail centres including Pacific Fair and Robina Town Centre, is around 15 minutes from Broadbeach, and benefits from connectivity via the M1 to Brisbane and the Gold Coast Airport.

VentureCrowd’s Cumulus Grand Villas in Carrara advances with construction underway

Joint venture partners <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/perifa">PERIFA</a> are officially launching the third and final residential stage at their landmark $350 million harbourfront precinct, Putney Wharf, with The Residences representing the final opportunity to secure a new home within this rare waterfront destination.

Strong demand has already been established across the earlier stages of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-residences-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf</a>, with more than 50 per cent sold ahead of this final release. The Residences will introduce a selection of the precinct’s most premium apartments, many of which were deliberately reserved for this concluding stage.

Located at 20 Waterview Street, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/putney-nsw-2112">Putney</a> NSW, the completed precinct will comprise 67 residences, including 18 terraces and 49 apartments, alongside five retail tenancies and a 36-berth marina.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=1338]

Developed alongside partners Phoenix Property Investors and Mitsubishi Estate Asia, Putney Wharf occupies a prized 300-metre stretch of absolute waterfront and incorporates the historic former Halvorsen’s Boatshed. The precinct connects directly to surrounding parklands via a landscaped foreshore walkway and a large, landscaped podium linking both sides of the development to the adjoining foreshore parklands.

The Residences comprise two newly built, three-storey apartment buildings delivering a boutique collection of 30 generously proportioned waterfront apartments. Designed to capture harbour outlooks, natural light and cooling breezes, The Residences balance architectural refinement with relaxed, low-maintenance living.

Architecturally designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, the apartments continue the cohesive design language seen across the broader precinct. A refined palette of light and dark materials, softer-toned stone and neutral, earthy finishes reflect the surrounding landscape and harbour setting. Interiors feature painted timber veneers, tactile joinery, timber flooring to living spaces and 100 per cent natural wool carpets in bedrooms, creating warm and sophisticated homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362525]

Justin Brown, Executive Chairman and Founder of Abadeen, said the release of the final residential stage marks an important milestone for the project.

“Putney Wharf brings together everything we’ve learned over more than 25 years of development,” Mr Brown said. “It respects the site’s extraordinary maritime history while delivering contemporary homes that connect people directly to the harbour.

The Residences offer the rare combination of low-maintenance apartment living, waterfront outlooks with beautiful sunset views, and the convenience of retail and amenity at your doorstep. For boating enthusiasts, the opportunity to secure a private marina berth completes a truly unique Sydney harbourfront lifestyle.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=291197]

PERIFA Managing Director and Co-Founder Fabrizio Perilli added that the diversity of housing across the precinct has been central to the project’s success.

“Whether it’s the heritage Halvorsen’s apartments, the Waterview Terraces or now The Residences, Putney Wharf offers a range of homes that respond to different lifestyles, all united by an unrivalled harbourfront setting,” Perilli said. “This is a precinct that will add lasting value to the Putney community.”

Managing project marketing and sales, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/srm-residential">SRM Residential</a> Partner Tim Rees said the final release has already attracted strong demand reflecting the project’s unique harbourfront position and the success of earlier stages.

“Following the strong response to both the Halvorsen’s Boatshed residences and the Waterview Terraces, The Residences represent the final chance to secure a new home within this tightly held waterfront precinct,” Rees said. “Buyers are drawn to the rare combination of absolute harbour frontage, parkside living and genuine architectural quality.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362240]

Putney Wharf is a one-of-a-kind mixed-use destination, delivering an exclusive residential offering alongside waterfront dining, retail and a 36-berth marina designed to the latest Australian Standards, accommodating vessels up to 18 metres and helping address Sydney Harbour’s ongoing marina shortage.

The precinct will include five retail tenancies and a prominent waterfront jetty area fronting the retail village, creating an activated harbourfront destination for residents and visitors alike.

Residents will enjoy direct access to lush harbourfront parklands, a public foreshore walkway and landscaped podium gardens connecting the development to the surrounding waterfront reserve. Construction across the Putney Wharf precinct is expected to be completed by Q2 2027.

Sales of The Residences officially launch this weekend, with the display suite open Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 12pm at Putney Wharf. Visitors are invited to enjoy a complimentary coffee while touring The Residences and experiencing the Putney Wharf lifestyle firsthand.

Final Harbourfront release in Putney Wharf launches this weekend

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/draycon">Draycon Building</a> is nearing completion of Boutique Chevron Island, a 42-apartment development on the northern end of Chevron Island at 17–19 Parneno Street, with a limited-time offer of fully furnished apartments available.

Now more than 90 per cent complete, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/boutique-chevron-island-17-19-parneno-chevron-island-qld-4217">Boutique</a> has been shaped by one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held island addresses, where riverfront outlooks and walkable access to Surfers Paradise converge.

For Draycon Building Managing Director Howard Dabit, the appeal of the site was immediate.

“I knew it was a good site as soon as I saw it,” Dabit said.

“The position and location on the north end of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>, the way the river swirls around the site basically from the north to the east, it feels like the site is surrounded by the water. The height that we’ve got and the aspect looking north is beautiful. Eighty per cent of the apartments are looking north so they get that drenching sunlight coming in.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360922]

That northern orientation places the development within a stretch of Chevron Island defined by open river aspects and skyline views, while remaining embedded in the suburb’s established village setting.

Chevron Island has increasingly drawn owner-occupiers seeking centrality without the intensity of high-rise beachfront living. Positioned at the geographical centre of the Gold Coast, the island offers direct access to both the beach and key cultural infrastructure while retaining a neighbourhood-scale character.

Connected by bridge to Surfers Paradise, Chevron Island offers walkable access to beaches, riverfront parklands and a revitalised foreshore boulevard animated by walkers and cyclists throughout the day. The Pacific Ocean is only minutes away, reinforcing the suburb’s dual river-and-surf identity.

At the same time, Thomas Drive forms the spine of the island’s village life, delivering cafés, wine bars, casual dining and everyday services within easy reach. Independent grocers, wellness operators and neighbourhood retailers contribute to a community atmosphere that remains distinct from the vertical scale of the beachfront.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360915]

In the opposite direction, the Green Bridge links directly to HOTA – Home of the Arts – placing galleries, performance venues and parklands within walking distance. Weekly markets and major exhibitions draw visitors from across the region, while residents return to a quieter residential pocket at day’s end.

Public transport, including nearby bus routes and the G:link light rail corridor along the coastal spine, strengthens connectivity north and south. Griffith University, the Gold Coast University Hospital precinct and established private schools such as The Southport School are all within a short drive.

Ongoing investment across Surfers Paradise, HOTA and the broader Southport corridor has elevated amenity while preserving Chevron Island’s comparatively low-rise residential character. It is this balance, walkable village atmosphere paired with metropolitan-scale infrastructure, that continues to differentiate the suburb from higher-density beachfront precincts.

Boutique comprises just 42 residences, designed to maximise river and skyline outlooks within this tightly held island setting.

Boutique Chevron Island is slated for completion in April 2026, with prices starting from $1,220,000.

Draycon Building’s Boutique Chevron Island places 42 residences at the heart of the Gold Coast

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.

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.

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.

How Rosebery turned from industrial warehouses to thriving foodie hub

Polo Collection, delivered by Meriton, is the third release within a brand new four-stage masterplanned community designed by an award-winning quartet of leading architectural firms.

The luxury resort-style development sits in Rosebery&rsquo;s vibrant heart, boasting a collection of unique low-rise towers tailored to display its considered architecture and interior design.

Each stage of &lsquo;The Gallery&rsquo; was individually designed by either SJB, Tribe Studio, DKO and Fox Johnston.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7588 project_image_fid=72298]

Designed by SJB, Polo Collection comprises 270 luxury apartments across four buildings, set amongst tree-lined boulevards, and neighbouring the newly-created 5,683sqm Rosebery Park.

&ldquo;Polo Collection will feature contemporary landscape and architectural design elements which celebrate Rosebery&rsquo;s industrial history while enhancing the recreational needs of residents&rdquo;, said SJB Architects&rsquo; Nick Hatzi.

The buildings incorporate various materials including bricks, tiles, timber and steel mesh which pay homage to the industrial past of the suburb and interacts with the surrounds.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7588 project_image_fid=72310]

One, two and three-bedroom apartments boast an innovative design, with large format tiles flowing throughout the open-plan living and dining areas, leading to a generous balcony, terrace or courtyard.

Bathrooms and ensuites feature clean, uncluttered lines, while neutral colour palettes deliver luxurious and inviting spa-like quality.

Other design features include limestone-look tiles for low maintenance style, spacious gourmet kitchens and an internal laundry with dryer and cabinetry.

Floor-to-ceiling glass windows maximise sunlight, accentuate the generous designs and add character to the fa&ccedil;ade, which also feature ribbons of herringbone tile that hint to wrapped candy boxes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7588 project_image_fid=72299]

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.

Why Rosebery is Sydney's hidden gem: Urban chats with Ellerson Property Group directors Fayad and Remon Fayad

<html><body>
Astute property investors are recognising the potential of the City of Sydney, with its numerous amenities, leading universities and great employment opportunities.

New apartments with modern designs, developed close to the CBD, are drawing quality tenants.

Throughout the inner-city council region, each suburb boasts its own unique character and identity, from period properties, art deco to modern industrial.

Ever-strengthening infrastructure in the area includes the soon-to-be-completed Sydney Metro City and South-West, which will result in trains running every two minutes.

According to SQM Research, gross rental yields for all units currently sits at 3.5 per cent, the best performing rental type in the area.

For those who wish to capitalise on great cafés and restaurant, and good transport, the Sydney Council might be the ideal new LGA to call home.

Urban takes a look at four new apartments located within the council area, starting from $592,800.

1. Castle Residences, Sydney 
Address: 203 Castlereagh Street, Sydney NSW 2000 
One-bedroom apartments from $1,230,000

The mixed-use development is being designed by Candalepas Associates, with amenities including luxurious dining areas, private dining spaces and in-residence catering. Manhattan-style apartments overlook Australia’s oldest park and timeless sculptural alcoves and arches bring together historical and contemporary architecture.

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.
