It’s only been a few months since local Gold Coast developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dankav-developments">Dankav</a> unveiled its next precinct-driven project, and less than a month since formally launching <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-alfred-mermaid-beach-2375-gold-coast-highway-mermaid-beach-qld-4218">The Alfred Residences</a>, a reimagining of the former Mermaid Beach Shopping Village.

In just the first three weeks, 30 of the 40 residences in stage one have been secured, predominantly by local buyers already living within the coveted 4218 postcode, underscoring the demand for a well-connected, beachside lifestyle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149942 project_image_fid=355148]

The origins of the shopping village, a community staple for several decades, will continue under DANKAV’s precinct-driven scheme. The apartments in the first stage will sit above a curated collection of restaurants, cafés and boutique retailers.

A central landscaped laneway defines the ground plane, framed by a series of low-scale buildings that open into shaded courtyards and plazas designed by <a href="http://j.ar">J.AR</a> Office. The residences above were designed by BDA Architecture and feature generous balconies, modern interiors and elevated views across the ocean, skyline or hinterland. The interiors are curated with layered detail and coastal-appropriate finishes, with layouts focused on privacy, natural light and ventilation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149942 project_image_fid=355150]

It was the site’s prime location that first appealed to DANKAV founder Daniel Veitch. The development sits directly across the road from the future Mermaid Beach South light rail station, giving residents convenient public transport access to the rest of the Coast.

While DANKAV is delivering extensive amenity as part of the retail plaza, the area is already well serviced, with a Woolworths Metro, established cafés and restaurants, and the all-important sand of Mermaid Beach just 100 metres from the front door.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149942 project_image_fid=355149]

DANKAV is also behind the recently completed The Oxley 1823 at Nobby’s Beach, which has become the area’s go-to lifestyle precinct. They are nearing completion of LAANI on Alexandra Avenue, also in Mermaid Beach.

Construction on The Alfred Residences has already commenced, with the first stage slated for completion in 2027.

On the top floor of Gardner Va​ughan Group’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/danby-lane-nundah-village-5-danby-lane-nundah-qld-4012">Danby Lane</a> project in Nundah, just two penthouses offer some of the largest and most detailed new apartment homes ever delivered in the well-connected suburb, and among the biggest in Brisbane’s inner north.

Each of the four-bedroom, three-bathroom residences spans the full depth of the building on the 10th storey, one of the tallest buildings in Nundah. They are split between north and southeast orientations, maximising natural light and cross-ventilation, as well as capturing the suburb’s best views from the large wrap-around balconies.

One of the penthouses has already been snapped up by a local.&nbsp;The remaining 270 sqm penthouse is priced at $3.4 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112531 project_image_fid=340185]

The open plan living, kitchen and dining area, which flows seamlessly to the terrace, forms the heart of each home. The kitchen has been designed as much for entertaining as everyday living, featuring large central island benches with stone overhangs that double as dining spaces. Butler’s pantries, European appliances and soft-close joinery complete the space.

The master bedroom in each penthouse features a walk-through wardrobe with integrated shelving and storage, and an ensuite with double vanities and a freestanding bathtub.

The additional bedrooms also include ensuites and balcony access, with one offering flexibility as a study or multi-purpose room. Each penthouse includes three secure car spaces, as well as a dedicated laundry with linen storage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112531 project_image_fid=320117]

Buyers can choose from two exclusive interior schemes. The Champagne palette pairs warm whites with timber grain and gold accents, while Truffle introduces deeper tones with forest-inspired wood finishes and matte black fittings. Both schemes extend consistently throughout the home, from kitchens to bathrooms.

Gardner Vaughan Group, a vertically integrated builder-developer that has already commenced construction on Danby Lane, is set to move its headquarters into one of the commercial spaces upon completion in early 2027. Having been based in Nundah for more than a decade, Danby Lane is very much a passion project for the team.

Residents will also enjoy a suite of private amenities, including a rooftop recreation area with a swimming pool, gym and function room, along with retail tenancies on the ground floor.

Developer Tian An LFD has been given the green light from the NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority to go ahead with its new Chatswood apartment development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hammond-greens-chatswood-5-9-gordon-avenue-chatswood-nsw-2067">Hammond Greens</a>.

The 35-storey mixed-use tower at 5-9 Gordon Avenue, on the edge of the Chatswood Bowls Club, will comprise 91 apartments, 22 of which will be affordable homes managed by Link Wentworth. They will sit above a two-level podium with retail and commercial space.

The plans were upsized from the early 25-storey scheme which proposed 64 apartments, following the Government's new planning provisions under the Housing SEPP that gave developers the opportunity to increase heights and floor place in exchange for an affordable housing component.

&nbsp;

The design by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fjc-studio">FJC Studio</a>&nbsp;builds on the concept first presented when the firm won the site’s design competition, describing Hammond Greens as “a unique form of vertical living that belongs on the North Shore - drawing on the vernacular and materiality of suburban living, and integrating native landscaping between the narrow tower forms”.

At ground level, 1,500 sqm of retail and commercial space will activate the podium, supporting a hybrid work environment and creating a stronger connection with the local community. Residents will also have access to an outdoor pool deck, yoga room, golf simulator, and landscaped gardens designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/sturt-noble-landscapes">Sturt Noble Associates</a>.

&nbsp;

Located less than 500 metres from Chatswood Transport Interchange, the project contributes to the suburb’s growing pipeline of high-density development. It joins the likes of Changfa's recently launched The Anderson and Billbergia's Chatswood Grand Residences.

Hammond Greens is the first of two towers Tian is planning in Chatswood. They have a sister project, dubbed Hammond Place, just one street away at 15-19 Nelson Street. That will have around 110 apartments.

The sought-after Latent Defects Insurance policy, offering off the plan apartment buyers peace of mind for 10 years post-completion, has made its way to Sydney’s harbourside. Boutique developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/toohey-miller">Toohey Miller</a> has secured this insurance for its newly launched Elizabeth Bay development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/barncleuth-square-elizabeth-bay-4-4a-barncleuth-square-elizabeth-bay-nsw-2011">Barncleuth</a>. This marks the developer’s second project in the area, following the success of No. 1 Onslow Place.

Latent Defects Insurance, offered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/resilience-latent-defects-insurance">Resilience Insurance</a>, provides cover for structural or waterproofing defects in new apartment buildings. It is a policy that only the developer or builder can take out, not the apartment purchaser.

Located just&nbsp;off Macleay Street, one of Sydney’s most desirable high streets, Barncleuth offers a rare collection of only 10 residences. With just two per floor, each oversized floorplan has been designed by SJB specifically for the owner-occupier.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140184 project_image_fid=356342]

The five-storey building captures views over Rushcutters Bay and Paddington, blending contemporary brickwork with the expressive silhouettes of its Art Deco neighbours.

Inside, the residences, designed by David Hicks, prioritise generous scale and enduring quality, with a mix of two- and three-bedroom layouts. Expansive terraces and cross-ventilated interiors maximise light and airflow, while sustainable features such as a green roof and locally sourced materials reflect SJB’s commitment to long-term liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140184 project_image_fid=356341]

Developer Toohey Miller, led by Nick Couloumbis, says the design aims to bring lasting quality to an area long celebrated for its apartment heritage.

"It's a stone's throw from the best restaurants in Sydney. Some people call it the Soho of Sydney," Couloumbis told Apartments.com.au when the project was approved.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140184 project_image_fid=356337]

By securing <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/resilience-latent-defects-insurance">Resilience Latent Defects Insurance</a>, Barncleuth joins a growing group of premium Sydney projects adopting the gold standard in building protection.&nbsp;

The cover, provided before construction begins, ensures any hidden structural or waterproofing defects are repaired immediately, without lengthy litigation or fault disputes.

Resilience Insurance CEO Corey Nugent said the product has been a catalyst for renewed confidence in the off the plan market.&nbsp;

“Ultimately what we’re trying to do is build better buildings consumers can trust. When buyers take possession, they have full insurance protection from day one, for 10 years,” Nugent explained.

Unlike traditional policies such as strata or construction insurance, Resilience LDI is a first-resort, strict liability policy, meaning repairs are covered immediately without needing to prove negligence. Coverage extends to foundations, load-bearing walls, and waterproofing, the elements most critical to long-term structural integrity.

Regarded construction firm Jasara has been appointed to deliver Barncleuth. They are forecasting an early 2027 completion.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/golden-sedayu">Golden Sedayu</a> has unveiled plans for the next phase of its landmark $4 billion <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/burswood-point-saintly-entrance-burswood-wa-6100">Burswood Point</a> project, just 3.5km from the Perth CBD at the Belmont Racecourse site.

The Local Development Plan Application has been lodged for a world-class mixed-use hub (Precinct B) on the previously untouched 2.5km stretch of Swan River foreshore.

Designed by Skidmore, Owings &amp; Merrill (SOM), recognised for their work on the world’s tallest skyscraper, Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the One World Trade Centre in New York, Precinct B will feature 15 buildings, offering a mix of residential and commercial spaces including a shopping centre up to 30,000 sqm in size.

Complementing this, an internationally acclaimed five-star hotel, and a high-end pedestrian-friendly retail boulevard with vibrant day-and-night retail, dining, and entertainment venues, will provide exciting new ways for Perth residents to connect with the riverfront.

This latest milestone signals continued construction and expansion momentum across Perth’s premier riverfront community, which is set to attract local, national and international visitors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142314 project_image_fid=263304]

The masterplan features 110,000 sqm of public open space, which is comparable to other Perth landmarks including inner-city Langley Park and South Perth foreshore. The riverside precinct will be brought to life through a visionary landscape concept by globally renowned architectural practice Grant Associates.

With an impressive international portfolio, including Gardens by the Bay and Funan Mall in Singapore and Barangaroo South in Sydney, the firm brings expertise in creating environments that harmonise with surrounding amenity.

At 38 hectares, Burswood Point is one of the largest urban development projects ever undertaken in Australia, and one of Perth’s most transformative mixed-use developments.

Golden Sedayu Managing Director Andrew Sugiaputra said the company was working closely with SOM, Grant Associates and the Government of Western Australia to ensure Burswood Point’s design responds sensitively to its surroundings, reflecting and enhancing the character, history, and natural features of the local environment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142314 project_image_fid=1817]

“West Australians enjoy a privileged outdoor lifestyle and the Swan River is central to their enjoyment,"&nbsp;Sugiaputra said.

"We’re proud to be creating something truly spectacular and unique for the city, a place that feels alive from sunrise to sunset, a place where people can stay, shop, dine, and celebrate life on the river."

Precinct B builds on the outstanding success of Burswood Point’s first residential stage, which has been met with exceptional market demand. Somerset Residences, a two- tower luxury apartment development, and the exclusive riverfront homes collection are under construction and selling fast. As the number of Perth houses listed for sale remain at or near record lows, Burswood Point will deliver 4,500 new homes over the next 10 years.

“Golden Sedayu is dedicated to delivering on our promises,"&nbsp;Sugiaputra added.

"Our clients can buy with confidence, knowing that the price is fixed throughout construction. In an industry that has faced challenging market conditions, we’re proud to provide our clients complete peace of mind and confidence in the value of their investment."

Rouse Hill

Deicorp's $670 million Tallawong project in Sydney's northwest has experienced an influx of buyers since launching to the market, with half of the apartments already sold, and all of Stage 1 completely sold out.

The Turner Studio designed apartments have proven to be a popular option in Sydney's northwest, despite the fact that sales started during the pandemic.

Due to the strong demand, new stages of the development have been released earlier than originally planned.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106821 project_image_fid=169992]

"Located 50 metres from the Tallawong Metro station, and with the convenience of a 9,000 sqm retail and commercial centre and central park, buyers have voted with their feet making this one of our fastest selling projects in history," Rob Furolo, Deicorp’s Executive Manager of Corporate Communications said.

All 333 apartments in the first stage have already sold out, with less than half of the total apartments still available.&nbsp;

Internally, the living and dining spaces lead to open-air terraces and balconies, with the apartments featuring warm carpets, engineered timber floorboards and contemporary floor tiles throughout.

Tallawong Village is a part of the more than 2,000 apartments that Deicorp is delivering along the Northwest Metro line, with the group also responsible for the Hills Showground Village in Castle Hill and Proximity at Rouse Hill.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106821 project_image_fid=169998]

In just a few short years, the northwest region of Sydney is set to undergo a significant transformation, with its population expected to soar to over half a million by 2030.

The bustling area is slated to become a modern and progressive city, complete with top-notch infrastructure, efficient transportation, a thriving economy, and healthy community developments.

At the centre of this grand vision is the suburb of Tallawong, which will take on a pivotal role in the area&amp;#39;s urban renewal.

Lendlease and GPT have recently filed their final plans for the Rouse Hill Precinct, a major development project set to transform the northwest growth centre of Sydney.

The precinct is set to be a vibrant and sustainable mixed-use community, designed to cater to the needs of its residents and provide a range of employment opportunities.

The Rouse Hill Precinct will be developed across 23 hectares and will include residential, commercial, and retail spaces, while also creating a walkable community that is connected to public transport and encourages active transport, such as cycling and walking.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="685cba9d-50e9-45b7-86b8-c0907ffc7155" href="/new-apartments/rouse-hill-nsw-2155"><img alt="Render of the Rouse Hill development " data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-03-06%20at%2011.53.00%20am.png?VersionId=wA_Sbgk3CIqDfFh9.GSkVtV5w34rYAgn" /></a>

The plans for the precinct include around 400 apartments, a supermarket, specialty retail stores, a cinema, and a range of dining options. The development will also include significant public spaces, such as parks and plazas, designed to encourage community interaction and social cohesion.

Located just 600 metres from Rouse Hill’s Metro Station and town centre, at Lot 20 Commercial Road, the new $189 million project is being designed by Urbis and will include a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

Lendlease and GPT have emphasised their commitment to sustainability in the development of the Rouse Hill Precinct. The development will feature a range of sustainability initiatives, including rainwater harvesting, solar power, and green roofs.

The precinct will also be designed to maximise natural light and ventilation, reducing energy consumption and creating a more comfortable living and working environment.

The Rouse Hill Precinct is located in a prime position within the northwest growth centre of Sydney, with easy access to public transport, including the Rouse Hill Metro Station, major road networks, and a range of employment opportunities. The development will also provide a significant boost to the local economy, creating jobs and providing new opportunities for businesses to thrive.

The Rouse Hill Precinct represents a significant investment in the future of Sydney, providing a sustainable and vibrant community for residents and businesses alike.

Lendlease and GPT's commitment to sustainability and community engagement has ensured that the precinct will be a showcase of best practice in urban development, setting a new standard for future projects across Sydney and beyond.

The Northern Residential Precinct and its adjoining lands have been identified as a key focus for development, given the intensification of the urban context in recent years. As part of a Project Delivery Agreement between Lendlease, The GPT Group, Landcom, and the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (Office of Strategic Lands), the NRP is poised for a major transformation.

The surging demand and need for supply of property in Rouse Hill have already led to significant investments in the area, including a whopping $60 million industrial development and an expansion of the town centre by GPT. With the latest developments in the pipeline, the Hills Shire suburb is set to become an even more attractive destination for investors and property buyers alike.

The Sydney construction and development firm Deicorp has been given the green-light for its largest ever project.

They&#39;ve secured approval for the new Tallawong Village, located in Sydney&#39;s Hills District near Rouse Hill.

The NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment issued consent for the State Significant Project following an extensive assessment process involving Landcom, Sydney Metro, and Blacktown Council.

The consent covers both stages of the project, and permits work to commence on Stage 1.

The site is located immediately adjacent to the Metro Station at Tallawong,&nbsp;a staple of Deicorp&#39;s projects to be well-connected to transport.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106821 project_image_fid=169999]

Stage 1 will see 333 residential apartments constructed across five buildings, each with a maximum height of eight storeys. There will&nbsp;also be&nbsp;9,000 sqm&nbsp;of retail and a 3,400 sqm&nbsp;publicly accessible park as part of the first stage.

Stage 2 will see a further 654 apartments constructed, taking to total apartments in Tallawong Village to just under 1,000

Construction is expected to commence in August, with completion scheduled for the final quarter of 2023.

Fouad Deiri OAM, chairman of Deicorp,&nbsp;said that he was very pleased that work could commence on this major project.

&ldquo;The development and construction industries play a critical role in delivering the homes Sydney-siders desperately need and want, and in the process, employ tens of thousands of people to build them.&rdquo; Deiri said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106821 project_image_fid=169998]

&ldquo;And projects like Tallawong Village give first-home buyers and young families high-quality, well-located and affordable homes in popular and growing parts of Sydney.

&ldquo;This approval will see the creation of an exciting new village that&rsquo;s close to great jobs and outstanding transport infrastructure. Deicorp is delighted to provide convenience, quality and affordability for buyers in the Sydney property market.

The Tallawong Village project adds to Deicorp&rsquo;s substantial pipeline of projects in the Northwest, with apartments under currently under construction, about to start or with approval pending, totalling over 2,000 apartments.

&ldquo;Between this approval in Tallawong, our soon to start project in Castle Hill, our Proximity project in Rouse Hill and our planned mixed-use project at Showground, we are committed to Sydney&rsquo;s exciting and fast-growing Northwest.&quot;

The submission lodged by Deicorp included significant sustainability initiatives, including roof top solar to reduce the operating costs for future residents and make a tangible reduction in energy consumption. The project is expected to deliver 1,500 jobs across the construction program, and approximately 200 permanent jobs when completed.

The local developer CDMA Australia have launched the final stage of its $237 million Rouse Hill development Rosella Place.

Named after the native bird that characterises the north-western Sydney suburb, Rosella Place is set to home 357 apartments across five nine-storey towers when completed in late 2023.

So far just under 200 apartments have sold, equating to $120 million in sales.

The final stage release sees 117 residences up for grabs across Buildings D and E, a mix of one, two and three bedroom apartments. There will also be seven townhouses available in the final stage (pictured below).

<a href="/buildings/rosella-place-stage-1-56-cudgegong-road-rouse-hill"><img alt="" height="899" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/rosella_place_3.jpg" width="1600"></a>

Designed by local architects WMK Architecture, Rosella Place apartments start from $480,000 for a one bed, $620,000 for two-bedroom apartments and $755,000 for three bedroom apartments.

The Rouse Hill growth forecast

Many experts and agents are suggesting the Hills District is prime for a property boom, with public infrastructure projects in the pipeline worth billions of dollars.

Ray White Group managing director Dan White said the group had never seen higher numbers of from people inspecting properties on a per property basis in the Hills District. 

“It’s currently 30-40 per cent higher than it was at this time last year, prior to Covid,” Mr White said. 

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93223]“All of the short and long-term drivers of the Sydney market are positive and with infrastructure and population growth, post Covid will be as strong as ever. 

Mr White says that people should be very confident with the property outlook over the medium to long term.

"Sydney will always be a great investment for ongoing growth and the real estate market is a great place to invest. Buyers don’t want to miss out on that continued growth."

CDMA Australia’s sales and marketing manager Jonathan Tan said Rouse Hill’s rural, country-style setting appeals to many buyers, which many of the surrounding suburbs such as Blacktown and Westmead do not offer.  

“It also offers an array of excellent amenities including the upcoming Tallawong Town Centre which will include retail, childcare, public parks and cycle and walking tracks all connected to the Metro Station. 

“The area has a variety of major developments and infrastructure on the horizon with the $250 million expansion of the Rouse Hill Town Centre, the new Rouse Hill Hospital and the Norwest University all to be delivered in the next coming years,” he said.

CDMA Australia has completed the first apartment building of its multi-staged, master-planned community, Rosella Place in Rouse Hill.

The first nine-level building has 72 apartments with large balconies offering sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. There are just five apartments left for sale in the development.

When completed in late 2023, Rosella Place will comprise 352 apartments across five mid-rise buildings.

The development at 56 Cudgegong Road, Rouse Hill is located in Sydney’s rapidly-growing north-west and is just 100 metres from the newly opened Tallawong Metro Station.

CDMA Australia sales and marketing manager Jonathan Tan said Rosella Place is the ideal purchase for a young family looking to make their first property purchase at a price that suits their budget as well as local downsizers who are looking for zero maintenance.

“Investors will also be drawn to this project attracted to capital growth prospects with the raft of major infrastructure projects coming up in Rouse Hill including the $250 million expansion of the Rouse Hill Town Centre, the new Tallawong Town Centre, the opening of the new Rouse Hill Hospital and the Hills District’s first university, Norwest University", Tan said.

“In as little as five years’ time, Rouse Hill will be a major new centre in Sydney’s north west, home to thousands of more residents but also supported by significant local infrastructure and amenities.”

The next release of apartments at Rosella Place will be launched to market in mid March.

Designed by local architects WMK, Rosella Place, named after the vibrantly coloured Australian bird which is native to the Rouse Hill area, is one of the first residential projects to get underway in the rapidly expanding north west which meets a need for affordable, high quality apartments in close proximity to transport links and new public amenities.

The next release of apartments at Rosella Place will be launched to market in mid March.

Investors, downsizers and families to be drawn to new Rouse Hill community Rosella Place

Rouse Hill in Sydney's Hill District is expected to see its amount of units grow by over 200 per cent in the next 24 months.
It stands out in RiskWise's top 10 danger zone areas in Australia for high settlement and cash flow risk. 
Rouse Hill is set to see a further 1,661 new apartments in the next two years.
Rents have been one of the biggest issues during COVID-19, with inner city apartments in particular seeing significant declines.
Unit rents have been hit the most, with falls over the last three months in both Sydney and Melbourne reaching two per cent.
Buyer’s agent Rich Harvey said buying new apartments in outer suburban areas like Rouse Hill made no sense.
“While it may be nice to have a shiny new kitchen and bathroom, there is a significant downside price risk as the supply of land for further development is plentiful", Mr Harvey said.
"Investors and home buyers are far better off seeking apartments in locations where land supply is very low and demand for property high.
Mr Harvey said there is a settlement risk for the buyer in a market where prices are declining, if they discover the value paid for the unit has declined significantly.
<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/2020/9/14/Top%2010%20oversupply%20areas.jpg" alt=""> *The table lists the riskiest areas in the country in terms of oversupply, based not only on the supply itself but also on low demand for rental apartments, in relation to that supply. Source: RiskWise
Sydney's Gosford will see its apartments grow 72 per cent, with 1,859 new apartments set for completion over the next two years.
Melbourne has the highest number of new apartments, some 4,744 to be finished, which will see their number of apartments grow by over 13 per cent.
RiskWise chief executive Doron Peleg said property investors should be extra cautious of the high degree of risk associated with off-the-plan units, that has further increased due to the COVID-19. 
"The equity risk, being the risk for price reduction that already had been high prior to the COVID-19, has further increased as investor activity is lower, and their awareness of the risks associated with rental apartments has increased", Mr Peleg said. 
"COVID-19 has also increased materially the cash flow risk, as vacancy rates, as per SQM, are at an all-time high peaking in May at 16.2 per cent. In June they dropped slightly to 13.8 per cent."
Mr Peleg said that the high-profile issues around cladding and defects has created enormous ‘reputational damage’ across the entire industry and because of this, investors have lost interest in high-rise unit developments and were turning to “safer” house-and-land packages suitable for families. 
Pete Wargent, co-founder of AllenWargent property buyers, said that units, particularly off-the-plan purchases, still carried a high level of risk of significant price reductions.
He noted that uncertainty in the economy has been heightened in 2020, and that buying into oversupplied areas at a time when the international borders are effectively shut this would only serve to compound risks.
Mr Wargent said that rental markets have been weak for inner-city apartments due to the absence of international students and tourists, and that where possible buyers should look towards more supply-constrained markets and assets with a genuine scarcity value.
“Over the medium to longer term, it’s the land value component of the asset that does the heavy lifting for you and, therefore, buyers should look for a high land-to-asset ratio. The unit oversupply issue has been with us for some years now, and outperformance has mainly been in family appropriate dwelling types in markets where demand is consistent and new supply has been restricted” Mr Wargent said.
