A long-awaited transformation of a former industrial site in Holroyd has been given the green light, with the NSW Government approving the $1.2 billion Crescent Parklands masterplan that will deliver more than 1,200 new homes just south of Parramatta.

The State Significant Development approval clears the way for a large-scale mixed-use precinct at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1-crescent-street-holroyd-nsw-2142">1 Crescent Street</a>, replacing an underutilised site with a coordinated residential community anchored by new open space, retail, and commercial uses.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> for WA-based developer Tiberius, the approved scheme comprises seven buildings arranged across two precincts. In total, the development will deliver 1,227 apartments, including 201 allocated as affordable housing, alongside approximately 2,500 sqm of retail and 5,000 sqm of commercial space within a mixed-use podium.

<img alt="Tiberius’ Crescent Parklands to deliver 1,200+ homes in major Holroyd transformation" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1cc82dd2-8184-4b86-8665-90653147820d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Crescent%20buildings.png?VersionId=2ZmVDc_Rfc4AzQ6ShzZJlvdZnACLerVM" />

The project is structured as a masterplanned precinct rather than a standalone tower. Buildings 1 to 4 will rise from a shared podium with shop-top housing, while Buildings 5 to 7 are positioned closer to the northern park interface as residential flat buildings. The built form has been carefully modulated to balance density with amenity, with the design resolving building separation, solar access, and wind impacts at a precinct scale.

A significant focus of the design is the activation of Crescent Street and the integration of public domain. The submission notes that “individual townhouses [were] removed for community based functions to Crescent Street to increase activation and surveillance,” reinforcing a more urban and publicly engaged street edge. Retail, commercial tenancies, and resident amenity spaces are concentrated along this frontage and within the podium to support day-to-day activity.

The landscape strategy underpins the project’s identity, with a network of pedestrian connections, landscaped corridors, and open spaces linking the site internally and to its surroundings. The design prioritises permeability, delivering “increased uninterrupted flow between spaces for pedestrian access” and improved connections through to the adjoining parklands.

Buildings within the western precinct are oriented toward the park, shaping a residential offering defined by proximity to open space. The design describes this approach as creating apartments “immersed in nature with apartments facing the park,” positioning the landscape as a central organising element of the masterplan.

The broader architectural response addresses both infrastructure and context, with taller elements capturing long-range views toward Parramatta while setbacks and separation distances mitigate impacts on surrounding residential areas. Sustainability initiatives, including solar optimisation, cross-ventilation, and integrated landscape systems, are embedded across the scheme.

Located approximately one kilometre south of Parramatta CBD, the 3.6-hectare site is bounded by Crescent Street, Woodville Road, and Holroyd Sportsground. It benefits from strong access to public transport, including nearby bus routes and train stations, and sits within a rapidly evolving corridor earmarked for increased residential density. The design also strengthens connections between surrounding green spaces, including Holroyd Sportsground and Parramatta Parklands.

The approval follows several years of planning, including a rezoning process that enabled significant uplift in height and density across the site. With determination now secured, Crescent Parklands is positioned to play a major role in delivering new housing supply within Greater Parramatta’s growth area.

Tiberius’ Crescent Parklands to deliver over 1,200 homes in major Holroyd transformation

A new State Significant Development application has been lodged over land at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/33-43-marion-street-parramatta-nsw-2150">33–43 Marion Street</a>, Parramatta, proposing a high-rise mixed-use tower that leverages planning incentives to deliver a substantial pipeline of new housing, including a dedicated affordable component.

The scheme, currently on exhibition, combines a shop-top housing development with a concurrent rezoning, positioning the site for a significant uplift in density within Parramatta’s evolving southern CBD fringe.

The proposal, designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fuse-architecture-0">Fuse Architects</a> for CN Marion, would replace the existing buildings with a 37-storey mixed-use tower, delivering 296 apartments above a retail podium with six basement levels on the 2,376 sqm site.

The residential mix comprises 58 one-bedroom, 207 two-bedroom, and 31 three-bedroom apartments, with communal facilities located on the second level and the rooftop. Ground-level activation is driven by retail and food and beverage tenancies, alongside a publicly accessible through-site link designed to improve pedestrian permeability.

The project includes 194 car spaces, five motorcycle spaces, and 348 bicycle spaces, reflecting a transit-oriented approach in a location directly adjacent to the rail corridor and within walking distance of Harris Park Station.

<img alt="First Look: Plans lodged for 37-storey mixed-use tower with affordable housing at 33–43 Marion Street, Parramatta" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3db873ea-62f0-437b-8a6a-eeda154d2dee" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Marion%20building.png?VersionId=YwzBv8OVHwyRnMLGX4slU7QyhTyMZeOX" />

The design adopts a podium-and-tower composition, with a three-storey street wall addressing Marion Street and a reduced two-storey interface responding to adjoining heritage cottages.

A key component of the proposal is the integration of affordable housing under the NSW Government’s in-fill affordable housing pathway, with units to be retained for a minimum of 15 years. This is paired with a broader public domain strategy that emphasises permeability, deep soil planting, and a landscaped through-site link.

“The strategy prioritises a permeable, well-activated public realm and supports a compact tower form to minimise the building’s footprint while enhancing the quality of the ground-level experience,” the design report states.

The proposal includes a central landscaped courtyard, rooftop communal areas, and planting strategies aligned with local environmental conditions and cultural narratives.

The site occupies a prominent corner of Marion and Station streets, roughly 100 metres from Harris Park Station, within a precinct earmarked for significant intensification. While the immediate context is characterised by low- to mid-rise buildings and heritage dwellings, planning controls and recent proposals point to a transition toward high-density development.

A substantial uplift in height and density is being tested in Lane Cove, with a 225-apartment scheme at 300 Burns Bay Road now on public exhibition as a State Significant Development alongside a concurrent rezoning.

The proposal by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/level-33">Level 33</a> would see the demolition of an existing commercial building and associated structures, replaced by a residential development ranging from seven to 15 storeys.&nbsp;

The scheme delivers 225 apartments, including 34 designated as affordable housing, positioning it within the NSW Government’s accelerated Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

The development is arranged as three interconnected residential flat buildings, a response to the site’s long, narrow configuration and sloping topography.&nbsp;

<img alt="First look: 225-apartment Lane Cove tower proposal enters exhibition under State Significant pathway" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c325d40c-ead5-45f4-9d77-5a446b23acc0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Lane%20Cove%20pers.png?VersionId=hsCJxT5hj.5kzA6AMInyan1x8mcHeRez" />

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/pbd-architects">PBD Architects</a>, the project’s designer, describe a built form that is “divided into three sections, each connected by intermediate infill slots which are recessed to establish greater setbacks and further articulate the development.”

Across the scheme, apartments are supported by communal amenity at ground and rooftop levels, including landscaped open space and a rooftop pool. Basement and lower ground levels accommodate parking, storage, and building services, while a new public park is proposed along the eastern edge of the site, replacing part of the existing built form.

The architectural response has been shaped by the site’s pronounced fall towards the Lane Cove River, with building heights stepping down from west to east to reduce visual bulk and respond to adjoining bushland.&nbsp;

The design report notes that “the development has been carefully designed to integrate with the existing topography with the placement of massing and floor levels adjusted respecting the site’s inherent characteristics.”

<img alt="First look: 225-apartment Lane Cove tower proposal enters exhibition under State Significant pathway" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="31cc13a5-bc8b-4dc3-b9b1-07c6ec33a82b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Lane%20cove%20site.png?VersionId=NiyH3LimQwiHsE6Q7I5g4Grpr5fRdZaX" />

The project is being advanced through a concurrent rezoning process, seeking to increase the permissible height and floor space ratio beyond current Lane Cove LEP controls of 21 metres. Under the proposal, height would reach up to 54.5 metres, reflecting a shift toward higher-density outcomes in well-located urban areas.

Located on a 7,595 sqm site, the development sits within an established high-density residential pocket characterised by mid-rise apartment buildings set within a bushland setting. The site is within close proximity to Burns Bay Reserve, the Lane Cove River, and an extensive network of open space, reinforcing its strategic positioning for increased housing supply.

Level 33 is doing through the Housing Delivery Authority to try and get its Homebush project of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/level-33-adds-to-2-000-unit-pipeline-with-new-two-tower-homebush-plans">more than 300 apartments approved</a>.

The developer has over 2,000 apartments in the pipeline, predominantly in Wollongong.

Following the completion of its debut Palm Beach apartment development EVA on Tenth, local Gold Coast developer Chippendale Group has launched its latest project in the in demand area.

Chippendale Group, led by fifth-generation Palm Beach local Daniel Chippendale, has kicked off sales at&nbsp;<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elise-palm-beach-3-twenty-fifth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1775884443343000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2GyxnGQKU2XXwTzQ8_VHgi" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elise-palm-beach-3-twenty-fifth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221" target="_blank">ELISE</a>, 68 coastal-infused apartments just 40 metres from the sand on Twenty Fifth Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150992 project_image_fid=366023]

Construction is already well underway, a signal of confidence to buyers, following the demolition of the two-storey walk-up and 1990s built house that sat on two sites that have been amalgamated to create a prime corner block.

There are a mix of two- and three-bedroom apartments on offer, starting from $1.4 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150992 project_image_fid=366024]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, Elise responds to its coastal setting through a horizontal architectural form with recessed glazing and layered landscaping. The design aims to balance light, shade and sea breezes while creating a defined presence along the streetscape.&nbsp;

Residences have been planned with an emphasis on outdoor living suited to the Gold Coast climate, including large balconies designed as usable outdoor rooms. Interiors will feature a selection of European appliances and natural materials, including New Zealand wool carpets.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150992 project_image_fid=366033]

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/31-41-o-hara-street-marrickville-nsw-2204">Third.i</a>&nbsp;has announced a new transport-oriented development in one of Sydney Inner West’s most sought-after metropolitan locations, delivering much needed housing within steps of world-class public transport and vibrant village life.

Located at&nbsp;31-41 O’Hara St,&nbsp;Marrickville, the proposed mixed-use development will include around 300 apartments, with up to 17 per cent dedicated to affordable housing, reinforcing Third.i’s commitment to creating inclusive, well-connected communities that support a diverse mix of residents who keep Sydney’s neighbourhoods thriving.

Located just 100 metres from the new Metro station, the development places residents within minutes of the CBD while offering seamless access to the Inner West’s cafés, retail, and local services. Anchored within a thriving local centre, the project supports everyday living without reliance on cars, while also delivering new public open space for the local community, including a new park and landscaped green areas, alongside high-quality private resident amenities.

Florian Caillon, Head of Acquisitions for Third.i Group, said the project builds on the company’s ongoing work alongside the NSW Government to deliver housing and amenity alongside major transport infrastructure. Amenity includes an activated pedestrianise retail strip that connects Illawarra Road down to the pocket park, and health and wellness facilities.&nbsp;

“Delivering housing of this scale within an established village is a rare opportunity, and few companies have achieved residential outcomes of this size at a village centre," Caillon said.

"We are excited to set a new standard for urban living in the heart of Marrickville,” he said.&nbsp;

The inclusion of affordable housing has been welcomed by frontline workers.

“We are supportive of developments which will allow essential workers like nurses, midwives and carers, the opportunity to live in the communities they care for," said&nbsp;Michael Whaites, General Secretary of the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association..

“Many healthcare workers tell us they would like to live closer to where they work, but are being priced out of the market, forcing them to move further away.&nbsp;

“Dedicated apartments for essential workers will support recruitment and retention in local hospitals and aged care facilities, helping to strengthen our health system.”

The project has been declared State Significant Development (SSD) by the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA).

Spotswood

The dream team of CHT Architects, Sora Interior Architecture and Design, and Tract Landscape Architects have combined with construction heavyweights Hamilton Marino to deliver the first stage in Blue Earth Group’s community, Spotswood Yards.&nbsp;

CHT has a long history collaborating with Blue Earth, spanning over 10 years across 22 projects, with the group boasting a long line of luxury apartment developments in their time.&nbsp;

Based in Melbourne, with projects both local and interstate, the group’s work consists of high-quality, distinctive buildings and spaces that respond to the aspirations of modern Australia, with the added experience of Sora Interiors only bolstering the development.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198408]

143 residences will be delivered across the first stage in Porter, with the functional interiors kept deliberately neutral and timeless, with considered detail across three collections, the Premier Collection, the Penthouse Collection and the Townhouse Collection.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Porter project, set on Birmingham Street, uses only carefully selected, timeless materials of brickwork, concrete, steel and glass. Designed to contribute to the existing neighbourhood, Porter combines compositions of form and material to present a timeless facade, softened by the townhouse courtyard landscaping.

With floorplans designed for comfort and functionality, Porter’s generous open plan spaces benefit from premium materials and a natural ambiance that champion sophistication and style.

The Townhouse Collection incorporates a range of two-level residences which benefit from private street entrances.&nbsp;

Inside the Townhouse Collection at Spotswood Yards

Spotswood is a thriving suburb with an old soul.&nbsp;

With an industrial and manufacturing history inspiring the innovative and creative suburb into what it is today, the area has carried its rich history of making things through to its cultural and community identity today.

Rapidly gentrifying, Spotswood has a genuine sense of community and togetherness.&nbsp;

Located only seven-kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD, Spotswood is home to a number of notable Melbourne attractions, including Scienceworks, Melbourne Planetarium, an array of bustling cafes and restaurants along with the more recent addition of Grazeland.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198408]

<h2>History at the heart&nbsp;</h2>

Spotswood Yards was originally the Victorian Railway Workshops complex including the former Ways and Works Workshop. A railway line connecting Melbourne with Williamstown opened in 1859, passing through the area that became Spotswood.

By the 1920’s, Spotswood was home to a number of national manufacturing businesses, signalling one of the inner-west’s most significant land transformation opportunity - a blank canvas of 50,000 sqm of absolute, prime, never-to-be-repeated land.&nbsp;

As a major employer over many years, Spotswood Yards still holds a strong community connection.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198414]

<h2>A new beginning&nbsp;</h2>

Set on the enviable Birmingham Street, the family-owned Blue Earth Group are making waves with their latest residential development.&nbsp;

Bringing with it the character and past of Spotswood, Porter has been designed to contribute to the existing neighbourhood.

Through a careful curation of materials and finishes which reflect the suburb’s past, such as brickwork, concrete, steel and glass.&nbsp;

The first stage of the development will deliver a collection of both apartments and townhouses, with the residences split across three releases; the Premier Collection, the Penthouse Collection and the Townhouse Collection.&nbsp;

From its prime site just a stone's throw from Spotswood Oval, 143 residences will be built across the two buildings, Porter and Flagman, with CHT Architects and Sora Interiors handling the designs.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198401]

Residents will be a five minute walk from Grazeland, while Spotswood station is only seven minutes by foot.&nbsp;

By car, residents will have quick and convenient access to the wider Melbourne area, with the CBD just over 10 minutes away, along with the neighbouring and bustling Docklands.&nbsp;

Footscray University and Hospital are also nearby, with both under a 10 minutes drive from Porter.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=112971]

The first stage of the development will deliver a collection of both apartments and townhouses, with the residences split across three releases; the Premier Collection, the Penthouse Collection and the Townhouse Collection. 

From the former Victorian Railway Workshops to a new masterplanned community: How Blue Earth Group is transforming Spotswood Yards

Established in 1975, construction company, Hamilton Marino has had years to master their craft.

Positioning themselves as one of Australia’s leading builders, the group have been behind some of the country’s leading and most impressive residential builds, including the $40 million Marriot Courtyard, 4248 Claremont, and both the River One and River Front buildings.&nbsp;

Further earmarking themselves as a leader in the industry, Hamilton Marino also found themselves picking up a number of projects throughout the construction sector collapse, which saw a number of builders and construction groups fall short during the worker shortage and material-cost hike.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198399]

The latest in Hamilton Marino’s pipeline will see the group work with Blue Earth on their multi-residential project, Porter, bringing to life a collection of residences on the site of the former Victorian Railway Workshops complex.

The Hamilton built-building will&nbsp;offer both apartments and townhouses from its prime Birmingham Street location, a stones throw from Spotswood Oval, as part of the wider masterplanned precinct, which will feature extensive amenity for all its residents.&nbsp;

Porter adds to a long list of projects Hamilton and Blue Earth have collaborated together on, with the duo combining for a whopping 35 projects previously.

Hamilton has even constructed the display suite for the Porter residences, so buyers can get a true sense and feel of the homes and know exactly the level of quality that the apartment will offer when completed.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198407]

Blue Earth have relied on long-time collaborators for the architecture and interiors of the project as well, calling on&nbsp;<a href="/architects/cht-architects" target="_blank">CHT Architects</a>&nbsp;and Sora Interior Architecture and Design, who have worked on 22 of&nbsp;<a href="/developers/blue-earth-group" target="_blank">Blue Earth</a>'s previous&nbsp;developments.

Staged at the first building in the project, Porter will be accompanied by a second building in the future, to be known as Flagman, with 143 apartments penned for the site.

Delivered across three collections, buyers will have a choice between the Premier Collection, Penthouse Collection, and the Townhouse Collection, each offering a differing layout and lifestyle option, appealing to a wide range of discerning buyers.

Much like&nbsp;<a aria-label="Blue Earth - opens in new tab" data-uw-rm-brl="false" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" href="/developers/blue-earth-group" target="_blank" uw-rm-external-link-id="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/blue-earth-group$blueearth">Blue Earth</a>'s previous projects, there's extensive amenity, including a cinema, games room, central garden, co-working space and private offices, and even a dedicated dog wash.

Both buildings will feature a central garden, click and collect services, bike storage and lobby and concierge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198403]

Residents will also have access to a mobile phone app. The&nbsp;all-in-one Porter App, supported by the in-house concierge, will allow&nbsp;residents to book a range of services and facilities throughout the development.

Access to apartments is granted via the app, through keyless entry, as is the ability to grant remote access to visitors and trades.

The smart apartment app will also allow residents to control blinds, lights, heating and cooling, both from home or remotely.

The emerging Spotswood Yards precinct was originally the Victorian Railway Workshops complex including the former Ways &amp; Works Workshop.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198412]

As a major employer over many years, Spotswood Yards still holds a strong community connection and sets to provide an additional vibrant layer to the Spotswood area.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=112971]

The latest in Hamilton Marino’s pipeline will see the group work with Blue Earth on their latest multi-residential project, bringing to life an apartment building on the site of the former Victorian Railway Workshops complex.

How the Porter App will make life more convenient for buyers at Blue Earth's Spotswood Yards

The family-owned Melbourne developer, Blue Earth Group, who consistently deliver amenity-rich projects across Melbourne, are back with their latest development, Porter, in the inner-western suburb of&nbsp;Spotswood.

Porter, which will&nbsp;&nbsp;offer both apartments and townhouses from its prime Birmingham Street location, a stones throw from Spotswood Oval, will be part of a wider masterplanned precinct, which will feature extensive amenity for residents.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198399]

Blue Earth are again working with the reputable builder Hamilton Marino, who they even get to build their display suites so buyers know exactly the level of quality that the apartment will offer when completed.

They&#39;ve also again called on CHT Architects and Sora Interior Architecture and Design, who have worked on 22 of Blue Earth&#39;s previous&nbsp;developments. Hamilton Marino have constructed 35 of Blue Earth developments.

There will be 143 apartments&nbsp;across the two buildings&nbsp;dubbed Porter and Flagman, delivered across three collections; Premier Collection, Penthouse Collection, and the Townhouse Collection.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198403]

The Premier Collection will offer a mix of one and two-bedroom apartments while the Penthouse Collection will home a suite of three-bedroom apartments.

The Townhouse Collection delivers&nbsp;two-level residences with private street-entrances, designed for the family owner-occupier, with a flexi room included in the home.

Much like Blue Earth&#39;s previous projects, there&#39;s extensive amenity, including a cinema, games room, central garden, co-working space and private offices, and even a dedicated dog wash.

Both buildings will feature a central garden, click and collect services, bike storage and lobby and concierge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198401]

Residents will also have access to a mobile phone app. The&nbsp;all-in-one Porter App, supported by the in-house concierge, will allow&nbsp;residents to book a range of services and facilities throughout the development.

Access to apartments is granted via the app, through keyless entry, as is the ability to grant remote access to visitors and trades.

The smart apartment app will also allow residents to control blinds, lights, heating and cooling, both from home or remotely.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198411]

Construction has kicked off on the development with Blue Earth expecting construction to be completed by late 2023.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Blue Earth launch Porter apartments and townhouses in Spotswood

<html><body>
A $100 million plus medium density apartment development has been announced for a 44,000 sqm site in Melbourne's Spotswood.
The site, part of the former Don and Gilbertsons land, is bounded by West Gate Freeway, New Street, and Kyle and Blackshaws roads.
Greg Jensz, industrial director, Savills said smaller, popular pockets like Spotswood have been a key target for developers looking to capitalise on the gentrification process.
"Any opportunities within 10k of the CBD are going to be looked at seriously by developers and especially those that can offer scale," he said.
 "The redevelopment of Precinct 15, which this property forms part of, offers one of the most significant urban renewal opportunities in Melbourne given its size.
"The adoption of Amendment C88, lodged with Hobsons Bay Council, to rezone Precinct 15 from its current industrial zones to residential, paved the way for a proposed 3000 dwellings and a 5500 square metre Neighborhood Activity Centre, associated open space areas and a community facility."
