Developer-builder <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dasco-australia">DASCO</a> has pushed beyond the now-standard inclusions of rooftop pools and landscaped podiums at its recently launched new Epping project, Senso.

It has laid out over 4,000 sqm of resident-only amenity in a move designed to compete directly with low-density housing on livability, not just density. The result is a development that supports genuine daily use through purposeful spaces distributed across its five-building, 479-apartment precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4396]

Two rooftop pools form the anchor of Senso. One is a 27-metre lap pool adjoining a heated spa, designed for everyday fitness rather than just summer leisure. The second sits on a lower podium, allowing different buildings to share in vertical access and reducing crowding during peak times.

It is the secondary spaces that start to distinguish Senso from other large-scale suburban projects. A rooftop cinema is integrated into a landscaped terrace, offering open-air screenings with natural ventilation and passive cooling.&nbsp;

The inclusion of a “sensory walk”, an elevated boardwalk that threads through the site, suggests a rare investment in non-commercial, non-essential amenity: space for quiet movement that doesn’t double as access or traffic circulation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4402]

The gym and wellness centre, often relegated to a small ground-floor room in many builds, takes on more substance here. Residents have access to a fully equipped gym, as well as outdoor yoga areas and meditative zones that integrate greenery and natural light.&nbsp;

The Club Lounge is similarly designed to support multiple use cases, with a private dining terrace, kitchenette, workspace, and lockable wine storage. These aren’t superficial additions; their scale and spatial allocation indicate serious intent for frequent resident use.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4391]

Importantly, Senso’s amenities are embedded within a site that spans more than 10,000 sqm, allowing for better separation between spaces and reduced noise spillover, a critical but often overlooked factor in high-density developments. This spatial generosity also enables multiple alfresco kitchens and communal terraces without compromising individual privacy or usable space.

While many developments make claims about lifestyle, few back it with this level of built infrastructure. Senso’s mix of dedicated fitness, wellness, social and passive green spaces suggests a conscious response to the post-pandemic shift in housing expectations, especially among owner-occupiers.&nbsp;

DASCO is one of several leading developers who have taken out Resilience Insurance's Latent Defects Insurance policy, providing buyers with a 10-year structural and waterproofing warranty, and giving them the ultimate peace of mind.

Senso is scheduled for completion in late 2028.

The outdoor amenities elevating life at Senso, Epping

Following the proposal by the Minns Labor Government to rezone Parramatta Road to create up to 8,000 new homes, prominent developer Ceerose has gone to the NSW Gov to increase the density of its new mixed-use residential building in Leichhardt.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/ceerose">Ceerose</a>, founded by Edward Doueihi nearly three decades ago, has filed plans for 154 apartments above ground-floor retail at 307-315 Parramatta Road, a key corner site near Norton Street, the main high street strip in Leichhardt.

It's an upsize from the previously approved scheme of 63 apartments across a seven-storey building.

<img alt="Ceerose" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ba1ae75b-5f08-43fb-b8d5-3de6d9f6ef71" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-04%20at%2010.31.39%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=yA3hBBLPH4ev7MsAE0_hieXeqiFqBUb7" />

The project is being advanced through the State Significant Development (SSD) pathway, with concurrent rezoning sought to facilitate the proposal. The 10-storey development would rise over a four-level basement and deliver two retail tenancies, one a larger-format offering and the other a smaller “hole in the wall” space, addressing the Parramatta Road frontage. 21 of the apartments are dedicated as affordable housing.

According to the Urban Design Report by Architecture AND, the scheme includes a podium and tower configuration, with a fine-grain, two-storey parapet street wall that references the traditional shopfront rhythm along the corridor. “An elegant tower form is proposed, combined with a characterful two storey frontage... articulating it as two related buildings, providing consistency with the rhythm and grain of Parramatta Road,” the report notes.

The residential component is split across two slender towers set back from the street edge, a design move aimed at preserving solar access and reducing perceived bulk. This massing strategy also seeks to improve residential amenity by focusing scale toward the quieter northern interface, away from Parramatta Road’s noise and pollution.

<img alt="Ceerose" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="347f2f8f-5d36-4388-b40a-2e77380b9c19" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-04%20at%2010.31.02%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=xvyUE2ujT1lzivXTo.mHBJFF4SmfgLtz" />

Architecture AND has worked with Ceerose on previous Inner West projects, and cites a deep familiarity with the local character. Their design draws heavily on context, heritage, and sunlight access considerations, and engages with the Inner West Council’s “Our Fairer Future” strategic planning framework.

The site spans 2,712 sqm and is located near key intersections with Catherine Street, Hay Street, and Redmond Street. It adjoins a public carpark to the north and is within walking distance of Stanmore and Petersham stations. It is also flagged in state and local planning strategies, including the Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation Strategy, as a suitable candidate for increased density.

Ceerose recently completed The Alex Collective on McEvoy Street in Alexandria, Abbie's Lane in Annandale, and the award-winning Munro House in Elizabeth Bay.

The Parramatta Road corridor is coming to life with the proposed rezoning which is serviced by a significant number of bus, light rail and train routes.

Deicorp is progressing with its $1.8 billion <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> precinct on Parramatta Road in Five Dock, as is <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/toga-to-push-on-with-five-dock-mixed-use-masterplan">TOGA further down the street</a>. Those two projects alone will bring nearly 2,000 new homes to Parramatta Road.

North Sydney's landmark 'SBS Building' on Alfred Street is set to be demolished to make way for a new mixed-use residential tower in the booming North Sydney.

Commercial property group FiveX is behind the plans for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/275-alfred-street-north-north-sydney-nsw-2060">39-storey tower</a>, the latest project to advance under the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

They are proposing 184 apartments above retail spaces, which will replace the existing 20-storey commercial building. FiveX was set up more than five decades ago by Joshua and Marko Berger. It is currently led by Joshua's son Lesli.&nbsp;

<img alt="First look: Fivex plans 39-storey residential tower at 275 Alfred Street, North Sydney" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2efa0980-53fa-4cca-9f9e-9c3c845d4746" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Article%20Feature%20Image%20%28Grid%29%20%281%29_0.png?VersionId=y_YyPMq3NQLfYRs84pP4os9UgWiMLp75" />

According to the Architectural Design Report by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fjc-studio">FJC Studio</a>, the slender tower form has been deliberately designed to respect the site's transitional setting at the southern gateway to the North Sydney CBD, where high-rise towers give way to lower-scale residential precincts.

"The slender tower form and articulated podium establish a respectful relationship with nearby heritage and low rise buildings, including the Whaling Road Heritage Conservation Area,” the architecture firm noted, adding that the tower “completes a missing link in the urban fabric” while enhancing the Alfred Street streetscape.

The proposed building will include a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, with 15 percent of the gross residential floor area allocated as affordable housing. There is an agreement already in place that those apartments will be managed by Evolve Housing.

The project aligns with broader state housing objectives, including the National Housing Accord target of delivering 1.2 million new homes by 2029. The Scoping Report filed with the State Significant Development Application (SSDA) suggests the site "presents no impediments to rapid delivery,” with construction able to commence within 12 months of receiving consent.

North Sydney has been one of the most popular suburbs in Sydney for new and off the plan apartment development, but hasn't had the supply to keep up with demand, until recently.

AURA by Aqualand was, for a long time, the only off the plan apartment building on the market. That completed last year, and has sold the majority of its 386 luxury apartments. Recently ALAND launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-walden-173-179-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">The Walden</a> on the same street, selling over $100 million within just a few hours of its launch, while developer CASA also launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-mclaren-north-sydney-45-mclaren-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">The McLaren</a>&nbsp;in the same precinct.

Kokoda appoints builder for $1.5 billion Teneriffe Banks waterfront precinct

Castle Hill’s booming development market is set for another boost, with builder-developer Buildex proposing a new mid-rise apartment building near Castle Towers.

Buildex has submitted plans to The Hills Shire Council for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/197-old-northern-road-castle-hill-nsw-2154">nine-storey building comprising 57 apartments</a> on Old Northern Road. The company acquired two adjoining sites earlier this year, totalling more than 2,683 sqm.

Texco Design has prepared the scheme, which includes five one-bed plus study apartments, 37 two-bedrooms, and 15 three-bedrooms.

Castle Hill has become a hotspot for developers in recent years, undergoing significant transformation driven by the opening of the Hills Showground Precinct to development and the introduction of two metro stations servicing the suburb.

Developers including Deicorp and Kassis Homes have already completed projects, and are progressing future developments, while Meriton, Arada, and Ellipse are currently delivering new projects in the rapidly evolving area.

Hotelier Julian Gerner will retain ownership of Sorrento's Continental Hotel in a deal struck this week.
It comes after the demise of the proposed project partner, property developer Steller and the failure of recent purchaser LBA Capital to settle.
“I have negotiated an agreement to deliver on the vision to restore, renovate, protect and preserve the 1875 ‘Marvellous Melbourne’ hotel for the Sorrento community, all Victorians, interstate and overseas tourists for generations to come,” Gerner said.
He is targeting a recommencement of construction post Australia Day, 2020.
There is a new ownership entity, The Ocean Amphitheatre Company, named in honour of George Coppin who built the Continental and developed the township of Sorrento.
Hotelier Julian Gerner purchased the property from the Di Pietro family following a sales campaign in 2015.
Gerner then obtained planning and heritage approval for an extensive redevelopment of the 144-year-old heritage-listed hotel, the largest limestone structure in the Southern Hemisphere.
But the project was then shut down given issues regarding the project's partnership.

Julian Gerner to develop Sorrento's Continental Hotel

Sorrento’s stalled Continental Hotel redevelopment project has been listed for sale, with expectations of attracting keen interest.
Colliers International agents Guy Wells and Trent Hobart have been appointed to sell the iconic Continental Hotel at <a href="https://www.commercialrealestate.com.au/property/continental-hotel-1-21-ocean-beach-road-23-constitution-hill-road-sorrento-vic-3943-2015405350" target="_blank">1-21 Ocean Beach Road</a> and an adjoining site at 23 Constitution Hill Road in Sorrento.
Hotelier Julian Gerner purchased the property from the Di Pietro family following a sales campaign in 2015.
Gerner has obtained planning and heritage approval for an extensive redevelopment of the 144-year-old heritage-listed hotel, the largest limestone structure in the Southern Hemisphere.
But this project has been shut down given issues regarding the project's partners.
"It is an outstanding investment and development opportunity to bring new life to Sorrento’s iconic Continental Hotel," said Wells.
“The Continental Hotel redevelopment is a major undertaking, in a seasonal location and requires a respectful and detailed restoration,” Gerner noted.
“This has created some complexity around commerciality and funding.
"Due to increasingly difficult market conditions, I have resolved to take the project back to market.”
Heritage restoration and basement works have commenced, while the planning approvals provides for mixed use development capitalising on the site to provide a hotel, public bar, restaurants, multiple function rooms, café and two penthouse apartments along with parking for 114 cars.
The hotel has been closed for over two years.

Billionaire Lindsay Fox has bought another commercial holding in Sorrento on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula.
The Fox family have paid $3 million for a 1,660 sqm fringe land holding at 856 Melbourne Road (above).
Currently on the land are two 1920s built homes.
It it's likely given its location one street back from the main shopping strip on Ocean Beach Road, that it will be developed into commercial premises.
One of the homes was known as Mayfair. They were sold as a tenanted investment, according to the Commercial Real Estate website.
The site sits along the road from where Fox owns a 4000 square metre site on the corner of Melbourne Road and Ossett Street, the busy roundabout at the far end of the retail strip.
Running from 839-843 Melbourne Road and on Ossett Street, Fox acquired it for $4.1 million in December 2015, settling October 2016.
CBRE secured the recent sale which was bought by a family run company Fox Shelf No 1 Pty Ltd.
The Fox family have their weekender compound at Portsea, a 16,000 sqm compound on the cliffs.
The most recent retail sale within the Sorrento township was $4.07 million for 54-56 Ocean Beach Road, the Sportsgirl premises - $1 million above reserve.
Investment company, developer and retirement living specialist Knowles Group bought the premises, paying more than $22,000 a square metre — a record for the popular coastal shopping strip. It is headed by Melbourne socialite Coral Knowles, the wife of John Knowles.
The Country Road concept store fetched $7.125 million in 2018 when the former Post and Telegraph office and postmaster’s quarters was sold. 
The 10-16 Ocean Beach Rd property on 750sq m had been expected to sell for over $6 million.
The vendor, former Rothschild Australia chairman Peter Griffin, paid $2.53 million in 2013 for the property.
It is currently leased until 2022 with two further five-year options available.
It sold to Anna Maria and Giuseppe Pollio.
In 2016, the Mitre 10 hardware store at 80-98 Ocean Beach sold for $11.47 million to Melbourne property developer Colin DeLutis on a yield of 0.4 percent.

Thalatta, a 1400sqm clifftop block with a 1950s shack in Sorrento, has sold for just below its $10 million asking price.
The weatherboard house had been a holiday home for the Langford family for more than seven decades.
It was offered by Liz Jensen and Gerald Delany from Kay &amp; Burton Portsea.
Located at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-sorrento-130160246" target="_blank">10 Netley Avenue</a>, the original family home comprises of three bedrooms, bunk room, open plan living with fireplace and verandah with sea and coastal views.

It has been tightly held since the early 1950s.
It's within an easy walk to Point King Beach, the Sorrento township and many attractions including Sorrento Golf Club. 
The expressions of interest campaign closed on February 12 and the property sold February 14, The Herald Sun reported.

<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/2019/2/26/sorrento%203.jpg" alt=""> 
The family is descended from Clements Langford, a noted master builder and philanthropist.
He who was involved in the construction of the spires of St Paul’s Cathedral in the city.
Clements Langford was born on 25 March 1853 at Portsea, Hampshire, England.
The family arrived in Tasmania in 1864 and moved to Melbourne in 1868.
After working with auctioneers Beauchamp &amp; Rock, Clements was apprenticed to the builder in 1869.
From 1887 he had a holiday house at Sorrento.
Langford undertook an eclectic range of contracts including the Bryant &amp; May factory, Hoyts' Theatre in Bourke Street, the Myer Emporium and the Herald Building.
He died on 6 February 1930 at Sorrento with his wife and five sons and three daughters of his first marriage survived him, inheriting an estate sworn for probate at £181,632.
