Sekisui House Australia&nbsp;has commenced construction at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/waterstone-st-leonards-24-berry-road-st-leonards-nsw-2065">Waterstone</a> in St Leonards, its first new apartment development within Sydney's inner-ring.

The turning of the sod ceremony celebrated the start of works on the Lower North Shore development, which has already achieved sales valued at over $52 million as well as captured global attention.

Peter Valleau, Project Director, Apartment &amp; Mixed-Use Developments at Sekisui House Australia said the sod turning represents an important milestone for both Sekisui House Australia and the Waterstone project.

"After purchasing the site in 2024, commencing construction confirms the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality residential projects in Sydney," Valleau says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134191 project_image_fid=234]

“The Lower North Shore is one of Sydney’s most coveted growth areas, offering a high level of amenity, exceptional transport links and proximity to nature.”

Valleau said Waterstone reflects Sekisui House’s Japanese design philosophy, Satoyama, which balances harmony between people and nature.

“Waterstone has been designed to embrace both the natural and human environment. A ribbon of green runs through the centre of the site, connecting residents to communal amenities and the broader network of parks and pedestrian links in the surrounding community.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134191 project_image_fid=222]

Waterstone will deliver 207 apartments across five boutique buildings, incorporating sustainable design features such as a double-glazed façade system, rooftop solar PV panels and EV charging facilities.&nbsp;

Brett Talbot, Sales Manager for Waterstone, said the early market response within the first 12 weeks had exceeded expectations.

“Waterstone has achieved exceptional results since launch,"&nbsp;Talbot says.

"We have witnessed local, interstate – Canberra and Melbourne and even international buyer demand from Germany, where an Australian CEO is based.&nbsp;

“Many interstate purchasers are seeking a Sydney bolthole that combines the vibrancy of the city with a leafy, village-style lifestyle. The project’s design and quality have struck a chord with those wanting something timeless and well-connected.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134191 project_image_fid=229]

Sales have been spread across one, two and three-bedroom apartments, including a penthouse sale over $6 million, setting a record sqm apartment rate for Sekisui House Australia.

“Three-bedroom apartments have been the strongest performers, with many purchasers downsizing from large family homes in suburbs like Killara, Seaforth and Castle Hill," Tablot added.

"They are seeking a home that allows them to simplify without compromising on space, privacy or prestige.

“Buyers are drawn to Waterstone’s refined and organic design. The inclusion of multi-purpose rooms, double glazing, two secure car spaces and low strata fees have all been well received.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134191 project_image_fid=351953]

Award-winning builder <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/decode">Decode</a> has been appointed to deliver Waterstone.&nbsp;Ali Mobarak, Associate Director at Decode, said excellence is the company's mission.

"Our relationship-focused approach ensures seamless collaboration, efficiency and craftsmanship,"&nbsp;Mobarak says.

"We are honoured to be bringing Waterstone to life, a project that reflects the shared values of quality, innovation and sustainability that define both our organisations. Together, we are creating a benchmark development that will stand the test of time.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134191 project_image_fid=242]

Decode brings over 17 years of experience, delivering more than 50 completed projects in NSW valued at over $3.3 billion.

Sekisui House Australia has achieved a 4 Gold Star iCIRT rating, reinforcing the company’s commitment to quality and long-term investment in Australia.&nbsp;

Waterstone’s completion is expected in 2027.

Located at 168 Walker Street, adjacent to the new Victoria Cross Metro Station, Aura has already drawn recognition at the 2025 Asia Pacific International Property Awards, where it was named Australia’s Best Residential High Rise.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=292863]

AURA by Aqualand comprises a total of 386 apartments above a landscaped retail and dining podium, designed in collaboration with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> and interior designer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/richards-stanisich">Richard Stanisich</a>.&nbsp;

Its curved sandstone-inspired form and activated ground plane have redefined <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/north-sydney-nsw-2060">North Sydney</a>’s urban identity, introducing new hospitality destinations including a providore, café, wine bar, and Japanese restaurant.

The hourglass-shaped tower has been conceived as four interlinked volumes, and includes a resident amenity level at its sculpted ‘waist’ on level nine.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=292897]

Aqualand unveils final release at AURA, North Sydney, with exclusive buyer incentives

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-regent-fitzroy-340-fitzroy-street-fitzroy-vic-3065">The Regent</a> in Fitzroy, future residents aren’t simply choosing a home; they’re shaping one that reflects who they are and how they live.

Melbourne-based interior design studio <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/studio-tate">Studio Tate</a>, led by Alex Hopkins, has partnered with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sma-projects">SMA Projects</a> to offer something rare in apartment living — the opportunity to collaborate directly on the design of their new home and create a place that truly feels like their own.

Set on the historic site of the former Regent Theatre at 340 Fitzroy Street, moments from Johnston and Brunswick Streets, the nine-storey development reimagines Fitzroy’s heritage through contemporary design by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/hayball">Hayball</a> and Studio Tate — creating a future <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/fitzroy-vic-3065">Fitzroy</a> classic, inspired by the past and designed for contemporary life.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24824 project_image_fid=304611]

Studio Tate’s personalised interiors begin with two distinct palettes: the light and timeless Classic Collection, and the moodier Arthouse Collection.&nbsp;

Within these foundations, buyers are invited to co-author their home, customising everything from finishes and joinery to reconfigured layouts in consultation with the Studio Tate team.

From there, residents can refine finishes, adjust layouts, and add details that reflect their lifestyle, aesthetic, and daily rituals — from subtle changes like repositioning a kitchen sink to more ambitious transformations.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24824 project_image_fid=304607]

One buyer, an architect, worked with Studio Tate to merge a two-bedroom layout into a spacious one-bedroom home, creating a larger kitchen and living area designed for entertaining.

This level of collaboration is almost unheard of in off-the-plan developments, where efficiency often takes precedence over individuality. For Studio Tate, it’s not a novelty but an extension of their philosophy — to design homes that are intelligent, responsive, and genuinely personal.

“Homes should evolve with the people who live in them,” says Alex Hopkins. “No two apartments at The Regent are the same, and that’s exactly how it should be.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24824 project_image_fid=304608]

The studio’s work centres on intelligent, responsive design that enhances how people live - an approach that has resulted in homes that feel personalised rather than prescribed.

SMA Projects Founder Martin Strode says the partnership reflects the developer’s belief that off-the-plan buyers deserve more meaningful choice.&nbsp;

SMA’s guiding philosophy, “If you haven’t found it, let’s create it for you,” has become central to The Regent’s appeal. Buyers who modify their layouts receive credits for unused fit-outs, allowing them to reinvest in other elements like upgraded appliances or bespoke finishes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24824 project_image_fid=304613]

Residents will also enjoy a collection of shared spaces that reflect the project’s attention to design, including a 315-square-metre rooftop terrace with dining and barbecue areas, a concierge, a guest suite, and a workshop and dog wash for everyday convenience.

The Regent will comprise 64 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, with two-bedroom, two-bathroom residences starting from $699,000 and the penthouse selling at $8.5 million. Currently, off-the-plan apartment buyers in Victoria can purchase with no stamp duty for a limited time only.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/callista-on-park-west-end-49-mollison-street-west-end-qld-4101">Callista on Park</a> marks the final chapter of West End's celebrated West Village precinct, emerging alongside the expansive green canopy of Mollison Park.&nbsp;

This new addition seamlessly integrates into a vibrant urban fabric where lush parklands, riverfront walkways, and a thriving retail and dining village come together within metres of home.

Residents will be immersed in one of Brisbane’s most walkable neighbourhoods. With a 99/100 walk score, West Village places daily conveniences and lifestyle luxuries on foot.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134800 project_image_fid=351537]

Woolworths, Harris Farm Markets, and a mix of retail and dining venues anchor the precinct, while boutiques like Mott and Mulberry and homewares from ZJOOSH offer an afternoon of leisurely discovery.

Everyday wellbeing is supported by a 24/7 Goodlife gym and a suite of health-focused operators including Soak Bathhouse, Next Medical Practice, Modern Dentistry, and Vitalign Chiropractor.

The broader <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/west-end-qld-4101">West End</a> district adds depth to this convenience. Boundary Street, just moments away, is a cultural corridor of indie retailers, acclaimed restaurants, and local institutions like the West End Markets, drawing residents into a weekly rhythm of fresh produce, global cuisine, and lively community exchange.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134800 project_image_fid=330231]

Just a five-minute walk from home, tranquil riverside paths shaded by jacarandas offer a leafy escape for rowers and morning walkers alike.

Art and performance are ever-present, with Metro Arts hosting regular exhibitions within the precinct and South Bank’s cultural quarter - home to QAGOMA, Queensland Performing Arts Centre, and the State Library - just 500 metres away.

Education and healthcare infrastructure are close at hand, with proximity to universities, elite schools, and medical centres enhancing the area's liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134800 project_image_fid=330222]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> and delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sekisui-house-australia">Sekisui House Australia</a>, Callista on Park also completes a decade-long transformation of the heritage-listed Peters Ice Cream Factory site.&nbsp;

The tower introduces 96 residences and an elevated rooftop conservatory complete with infinity pool, spa, private dining, and undulating gardens that echo the nearby parkland setting.

The Level 6 slab has just been poured at Callista on Park, with completion expected in late 2027. Three-bedroom residences are priced from $2.4 million.

Challenging the trend of compact living, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/the-eighth-south-melbourne-22-kings-place-south-melbourne-vic-3205">The Eighth</a> delivers true house-like scale in a vertical format.

Positioned on the penultimate level of The Eighth, a newly completed development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/crema-group">Projects by Crema</a>, the sub-penthouse offers more than just generous dimensions, it redefines what sub-penthouse living can look like in Melbourne’s Domain Precinct.

At 256 sqm, this residence exceeds the scale of most new apartments on the market. It provides the proportions of a freestanding home - three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study, walk-in laundry, and a separate retreat - all within the security and convenience of a high-end vertical community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5345 project_image_fid=354144]

Its elevated corner position allows for uninterrupted, 270-degree views across the city skyline, Albert Park and the Botanic Garden, an outlook increasingly difficult to replicate in denser urban pockets. Full-height glazing frames these views throughout the home, anchoring each room to its setting.

Designed by Miriam Fanning of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/mim-design">Mim Design</a>, the interiors prioritise durability and spatial clarity. Stone benchtops, cove lighting, custom joinery and a fireplace enrich the central living areas.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5345 project_image_fid=354159]

A Gaggenau kitchen with integrated Liebherr refrigeration and a full butler’s pantry supports serious home cooking and entertaining, while a wine cellar and media room add versatility.

Each bedroom features a tiled ensuite and bespoke robes, with the main suite offering privacy and corner views. Private lift access, ducted air conditioning, three side-by-side car parks and ample storage round out the functional offering.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5345 project_image_fid=354160]

Residents of The Eighth benefit from a cohesive lifestyle ecosystem. A rooftop pool and BBQ terrace, wellness facilities at EQ, and an Italian café downstairs all contribute to a vertically integrated community - balancing amenity with calm, day-to-day usability.

Located just off St Kilda Road and moments from ANZAC Station and The Tan, The Eighth provides immediate access to transport, green space and cultural institutions, while remaining quietly removed from the city’s pace.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5345 project_image_fid=354141]

Importantly, the building is complete. With just 36 apartments across 18 levels, The Eighth offers long-term privacy, minimal turnover, and immediate move-in certainty.&nbsp;

The sub-penthouse stands as one of the final, and most compelling, opportunities within this now-established address.

Taylor Dow of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/dow-real-estate">DOW Real Estate</a> is the exclusive selling agent for the sub-penthouse, and the remaining few apartments in The Eighth.

It comes as no surprise that <a href="https://www.walkscore.com/AU-NSW/Sydney" target="_blank">Walk Score's list</a> rates Sydney as the most walkable large city in Australia. 
The waterfront city has also been deemed <a href="https://images.arcadis.com/media/0/C/0/%7B0C0BECF6-FA5B-49B2-B332-900D50833DEE%7DAAP_MOBILITY%20INDEX_spread.pdf?_ga=2.141593266.1201163471.1579477286-416334874.1579477286" target="_blank">the second most transit-friendly</a> in the country behind Brisbane and in-front of Melbourne. Sydney provides a wide range of transport with ferries, trains, metro and the recently welcomed light rail amongst the many options available. 
Opportunities to cycle have also risen as the city's biking infrastructure has improved in recent years. Significantly more councils have bike lanes with <a href="https://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/explore/getting-around/cycling/dockless-bike-sharing" target="_blank">stationless shared bikes</a> located and accessible across the city.
<a href="https://mobike.com/au/download" target="_blank">Mobike</a> and <a href="https://www.li.me/en-us/home">LimeBike</a> operate in multiple suburbs and can be tracked and paid on their website and app. LimeBike have, since late 2018, provided <a href="https://www.li.me/electric-assist-bike" target="_blank">electric assisted bikes</a> which has helped encourage more users. 
Sydney is also diverse, home to nearly 200 nationalities, and offers a unique cultural experience with its range of cuisine, museums, galleries, and beaches. 
These are all of metrics Walk Score takes into account when deciding the rankings for each of Sydney's neighbourhoods. Without further ado, here are the <a href="https://www.walkscore.com/AU-NSW/Sydney" target="_blank">top neighbourhoods</a>.

Sydney's most walkable neighbourhoods

<html><body>
The Oscar-winning Mad Max hair designer and make-up artist Lesley Vanderwalt has snappily secured the pre-auction sale of her Rushcutters Bay apartment.
Listed with a $1.65 million price guide, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom home, with garage, fetched $1.725 million and was last sold at $985,000 in 2007.
It was marketed by Jeremy Brink and James Peach at Ray White Taylor and Partners and had been listed for a June auction, but sold after 40 groups went through the property in the 12 days it was on the market. Six contracts were issued and the purchaser will move from the northern beaches.
Vanderwalt is based on the Gold Coast having paid $575,000 last year in the Main Beach block, Bougainvillea, for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment.
She won her Oscar in 2016 for Mad Max: Fury Road.
This article was first published in the Sunday Telegraph.

Rushcutters Bay has witnessed the biggest unit price growth across Sydney, according to Domain Group data.
It suggests the suburb's median house price has increased 23.7%, with a median price of $804,000.
Some of the suburbs that saw the greatest declines in house prices saw some of the strongest price growth in units over the year. 
Units in Petersham recorded a 16.6% growth year-on-year, raising the median price to $780,000.
Domain Group data scientist Dr Nicola Powell said a price correction in some suburbs was part of the property cycle "and is not necessarily a bad thing”, she said.

Scott regularly hosted the early morning fitness television show during the 1990s.
He's selling his three bedroom apartment high in the Ian Moore-designed Altair block on Kings Cross Road.
Having sold his long-time Newtown home for $1,217,000 in 2013, Scott paid $1.82 million for the 13th level apartment in 2014 
He said the harbour views never get boring, but is intent on a northern NSW tree change.
Mark Foy at Belle Property Surry Hills is marketing the apartment in conjunction with Brigitte Blackman of Cobden &amp; Hayson Surry Hills for a May 26 auction.
They have a price guide of $2.75 million.

Channel 10's Aerobics Oz Style former presenter Anton Scott has lists Rushcutters Bay apartment

<html><body>
Australian TV, film and stage legend John Gaden, who recently appeared in an edgy comedy video highlighting the overheated Sydney auction market, was on the joyous receiving end recently.
The video features an auction of a studio apartment with no toilet in "south west, west Sydney," five and a half hours from the Sydney CBD..
Gaden secured $1.84 million for his two bedroom garden apartment in Rushcutters Bay at its recent auction, considerably more than the $1.4 million quoted by Knight Bailey.
The result nearly doubled Gaden's $960,000 purchase in 2007 for the 160 square metre apartment in the Queensboro complex.
Gaden is Southern-Highlands bound.
The veteran actor has won two Helpmann Awards for Best Male Actor in a Play in 2001 for Yasmina Reza's The Unexpected Man and, again, in 2007 for The Lost Echo.

TV, film and stage legend John Gaden sells Rushcutters Bay apartment

<html><body>
Southern Highlands-bound Australian TV, film and stage legend John Gaden has listed his Rushcutters Bay apartment.
It is in the parkside Queensboro complex.
It's the first time being offered in 10 years, since Gaden's $960,000 purchase in 2007.
The garden apartment comprising 160 sqm has two bedrooms and one bathroom with a north-facing private courtyard. 
Knight Bailey has a scheduled May 12 auction with $1.4 million expectations.
A two bedroom, two bathroom apartment in the same Queens Avenue block sold late last year for $1,367,500.
The veteran actor recently appeared in an edgy comedy video highlighting the overheated Sydney auction market.
The parody clip, directed by former Julliard student Stephen King features a so-called apartment at 1 Backwater Road, Shithole Park. Gaden plays an old man in a wheelchair onlooking at the auction who wets himself.
Having moved from Balmain in the 1970s to Bondi then Rushcutters Bay for the past 10 years, Gaden's professional career began in the early 1960s after he decided to pursue a career in theatre rather than a legal one, despite his family association with the Gadens legal practice.
In 1970 he appeared in a production of Hadrian the Seventh in Perth, directed by Sir Tyrone Guthrie, and with fellow actors Arthur Dignam and Judy Nunn.
Guthrie was impressed enough with Gaden to recommend him to Robin Lovejoy, who cast him in a production of The Crucible.
This led to a three-year contract with the Old Tote Theatre Company, the precursor of the Sydney Theatre Company.
For three years he was associate director of the Sydney Theatre Company with Richard Wherrett.
From 1986 to 1989 he was artistic director of the State Theatre Company of South Australia, based in Adelaide.
Gaden has won two Helpmann Awards for Best Male Actor in a Play: in 2001, for Yasmina Reza's The Unexpected Man, and in 2007, for The Lost Echo.
