Malaysian developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> is the latest to jump into St Leonards booming Transport Oriented Development precinct.

The developer, which has previously delivered Sapphire by the Gardens apartment development in Melbourne, identified the Atchison Street site in 2023. It filed a Scoping Report around 12 months ago, and now has revealed the designs for the new&nbsp;40-storey mixed-use tower.

The State Significant Development Application covers <a href="https://next-portal.urban.com.au/projects/14650/summary">20-22 Atchison Street</a>, a 1,374 sqm site positioned between St Leonards Station and the new Crows Nest Metro station.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the project would deliver 181 apartments, above a four-storey commercial podium, five basement levels, and new public domain works along Mitchell Street. The apartment mix comprises 35 one-bedroom apartments, 39 one-bedroom-plus-study apartments, 85 two-bedroom apartments, and 22 three-bedroom residences.

The proposal has been lodged as a shop-top housing development under the NSW Government’s TOD planning pathway, which allows increased density around key transport infrastructure. The site sits within the recently rezoned Crows Nest Accelerated TOD Precinct.

SP Setia acquired the Atchison Street site as part of its continued expansion into the Australian apartment market. In comments made to City &amp; Country (The Edge Malaysia) in 2023, SP Setia President and CEO Datuk Choong Kai Wai described the acquisition as “a strategic move” aligned with the group’s post-pandemic market recovery strategy.

“Our target for this exceptional development is local and overseas buyers, including first-home buyers, downsizers and investors,” Choong said.

The tower has been designed as a slender vertical form rising from a mixed-use podium, with COX Architecture positioning the development as a response to the evolving St Leonards and Crows Nest skyline.

“The purpose of the project is to facilitate the delivery of high-quality housing at a strategically located site and deliver a built tower outcome that is consistent with the desired future character of St Leonards and aligns with the TOD controls,” the design report stated.

The podium would incorporate retail uses fronting Atchison Street, commercial tenancies, landscaped communal areas, and pedestrian improvements along Mitchell Street. Vehicle access and loading would be consolidated via Atchison Lane.

Residents would have access to more than 665 sqm of communal indoor and outdoor spaces, while the development proposes 96 parking spaces across five basement levels.

The proposal also includes a commitment for 10 per cent of residential floor space to be allocated toward affordable housing through a monetary contribution.

COX said the tower form responds directly to the emerging high-density character of the precinct while seeking to maximise solar access, cross ventilation, and outlook from apartments.

“The building is orientated towards north,” the Apartment Design Guide compliance report noted, adding that the tower’s slim form was driven by the constrained inner-urban site dimensions.

The design also incorporates landscaped setbacks and communal open space at podium level, intended to soften the interface with surrounding streets and improve pedestrian amenity.

The project adds to a growing wave of redevelopment proposals reshaping St Leonards and Crows Nest following the opening of the Sydney Metro City line and the NSW Government’s push for higher-density housing around major transport nodes.

Last week Stockland filed plans just down the road. They want to build a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/601-pacific-highway-st-leonards-nsw-2065">52-storey tower on Pacific Highway</a>.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/urban-property-group">Urban Property Group</a> has revealed plans for a new mixed-use tower at 10 Dangar Street, Wickham, advancing a proposal that would reshape the southern gateway to Newcastle’s city centre with one of the city’s tallest residential buildings.

The State Significant Development proposal, now on exhibition, seeks approval for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/bowline-10-dangar-street-wickham-nsw-2293">43-storey tower</a> immediately adjacent to the Newcastle Interchange. The project would deliver around 200 apartments, including 42 affordable housing dwellings, alongside 99 co-living units, a 171-room hotel, retail space, and new public domain integrated through the site.

The scheme marks a significant escalation of plans previously approved for the site. Urban Property Group took over the prominent 2,904 sqm parcel, where excavation and demolition had already commenced under an earlier consent for a 14-storey mixed-use development.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="58a96dd9-407f-4d20-86b4-94e4bfeef74b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20podium.png?VersionId=LGlf08pdFGAZDzvx_CXC4XakHNZRuEE0" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, the tower has been conceived as a landmark transit-oriented development anchored to the Newcastle Interchange precinct. The proposal includes 245 build-to-sell apartments across a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom residences, as well as two penthouses. Fifteen apartments and one operational unit are earmarked for NDIS housing. The co-living component would add a further 99 units, while the podium would accommodate retail uses and hotel facilities.

SJB said the site presents “a valuable opportunity to anchor the precinct by setting the standard for design, active ground planes and character at the key southern gateway.”

The architecture responds directly to the site’s position beside major transport infrastructure and within one of Newcastle’s fastest-evolving urban renewal precincts. The tower form sits above a sculpted podium designed to frame new public spaces, including a through-site pedestrian link connecting Station Street to Hannell Street, landscaped plazas, and activated retail edges.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a7bd6ff0-f7db-4ce8-a6dc-ea56e72c6149" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20lanne.png?VersionId=xzf39VADyhj7zBQY2I9fx9vI62u2tuSb" />

The design report describes the project as part of the broader transition of Wickham into “a vibrant, high-quality mixed-use urban precinct” that leverages proximity to the station, open space, and regional connectivity.

A detailed public art strategy has also been prepared for the development. The strategy positions the project as “a transit-oriented development of state significance at the gateway to Newcastle’s city centre” and outlines a series of integrated artworks responding to Newcastle’s industrial and transport heritage.

Creative Road’s curatorial framework for the project, titled Unveil, draws on “stratified surfaces, carved volumes, and light-filled apertures” while referencing Newcastle’s transformation from an industrial city into a contemporary education and technology hub.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="77a882bb-14b1-4d28-99ff-9438e39508c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20site.png?VersionId=cevgo_vN0eKPK78P8YcEu3mKPLkpFqE7" />

The proposal is being advanced through the NSW Housing Delivery Authority pathway after being declared State Significant Development in June 2025. The accompanying scoping report states the development aims to “maximise the site’s proximity to the Newcastle Interchange by delivering transit-oriented development” while increasing housing supply and affordable housing provision within the Newcastle LGA.

Urban Property Group’s plans align with the long-term strategic vision established under the Wickham Master Plan, which identified the interchange precinct as suitable for substantial uplift in height and density. The current proposal would significantly intensify that vision, positioning the tower among the tallest developments proposed for Newcastle.

The site sits immediately north of the Newcastle Interchange, bounded by Dangar Street, Hannell Street, and Charles Street. It is surrounded by a rapidly growing cluster of residential towers and mixed-use projects that have emerged following the completion of the light rail and transport interchange.

Bottega House has completed settlement of a landmark riverfront site in Macquarie Street, St Lucia, representing its first major Brisbane development.&nbsp;

Positioned on the banks of the Brisbane River, the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/180-macquarie-street-st-lucia-qld-4067">premium site at 180 Macquarie Street</a> features uninterrupted river frontage in one of Brisbane’s most tightly held residential precincts.&nbsp;

The proposed development, currently under assessment with Brisbane City Council, has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-studio">Plus Studio</a> with interiors by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/mim-design">Mim Design</a> and will deliver a boutique collection of premium residences positioned specifically for owner occupiers and downsizers.&nbsp;

The residences are set to redefine luxury apartment living in the area, with a focus on architectural quality, refined finishes, landscape integration and elevated amenities including curated wellness facilities, resort-style pools and recreation spaces rarely seen in the local market.&nbsp;

Exclusive sales for the project will be led by Keenan &amp; Byrne, ahead of an anticipated launch later this year.&nbsp;

Bottega House Managing Director Nick Malloch said the project reflects the group’s ambition to deliver a highly curated residential offering within one of Brisbane’s most tightly held precincts.&nbsp;

“This is an incredibly rare riverfront opportunity and one we have approached with a long-term perspective,” Malloch said.&nbsp;

“Our vision from the outset was to create a boutique collection of residences that feel more like private homes than traditional apartments, with generous proportions, refined finishes and exceptional amenity throughout."

Malloch says there is a&nbsp;lack of premium owner-occupier stock of this quality in the market, particularly for downsizers wanting space, privacy and a true lifestyle offering without compromise.&nbsp;

"Demand is expected to be strong given the scarcity of premium riverfront opportunities of this nature within Brisbane’s inner-west."&nbsp;

The arrival of the first piling rig officially marks the commencement of construction at SIERA’s new beachside apartment development, Exhale, in Northcliffe.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/exhale-surfers-paradise-8-enderley-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Exhale</a>, a glass-encased tower featuring 54 large-scale apartments at 8 Enderley Avenue, is SIERA’s third Gold Coast development. It follows the recently completed PIPIS Bilinga beachfront project, which achieved suburb-record prices, and the soon-to-be-completed Chevron Island development, Tapestry.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=359603]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/siera">SIERA</a> Founder and Managing Director Brent Thompson said the arrival of the piling rig represented a significant milestone for the development, which is scheduled for completion in late 2028.

Over the next month, around 260 piles are expected to be installed as work progresses on the basement structure. The building is anticipated to rise above ground level early next year, before unveiling its sculptural glass curtain wall, developed in collaboration with specialist façade engineers.

“The façade was designed to maximise panoramic coastal views while creating a distinctive architectural identity,” Thompson said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=355935]

Designed by BDA Architecture, Exhale will comprise just 54 two- and three-bedroom residences across 26 levels, a level of low-density living rarely delivered in this beachside pocket between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach.

The project has been conceived as a resident-only building, with no short-stay accommodation permitted. SIERA says the model is intended to appeal to long-term owner-occupiers rather than transient holiday demand.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=361052]

Residences have been designed with large-format layouts and expansive glazing, with most apartments featuring more than 30 metres of glass frontage to maximise natural light and ocean views.

The amenity offering spans two levels and centres on wellness and lifestyle, including a heated magnesium pool, sauna, yoga and Pilates studio, gymnasium, private dining facilities, cinema lounge, and dedicated surfcraft storage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=359607]

More than half of the apartments have already sold. SIERA has also opened a sales gallery for Exhale at its Chevron Island commercial premises, near its Tapestry tower and the site of its second Chevron Island apartment development, which is slated to launch in early 2027.

Local Little Bay residents, along with buyers from premium postcodes across Sydney’s affluent Eastern Suburbs, have dominated purchases in developer-builder Urban Property Group’s first Eastern Suburbs apartment development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/este-little-bay-jennifer-street-little-bay-nsw-2036">ESTE Little Bay</a>.

The $250 million coastal project, one of the first new developments in the area in several years, has proven particularly popular with downsizers, especially those from Coogee and Bondi. One Double Bay downsizer paid $4.7 million for a four-bedroom penthouse, setting a new local apartment price record in the process.

Buyers have been attracted to the combination of coastal tranquillity, premium design and amenity-rich neighbourhood living. The walkable village setting, along with proximity to three of Sydney’s leading golf courses, New South Wales Golf Club, St Michael’s Golf Club and The Coast Golf Club, has also been a key drawcard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112343 project_image_fid=352689]

Built across two low-rise buildings designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/hill-thalis-architecture-urban-projects-pty-ltd">Hill Thalis</a> and set along a lush, landscaped green spine, designed by leading landscape architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/arcadia-landscape-architecture">Arcadia</a>, ESTE Little Bay offers a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom residences with interiors by Richards Stanisich.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/urban-property-group">Urban Property Group</a> Sales Director, Tom McIvor said the response to ESTE has been "nothing short of extraordinary."

“Buyers have been quick to recognise ESTE as a rare opportunity to invest in a coastal sanctuary that offers both seclusion and connectivity to the heart of Sydney,” McIvor said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112343 project_image_fid=352687]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/srm-residential">SRM Residential</a> Senior Director, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/srm-residential">Clayton Ross</a> said the local market has responded incredibly well, driven by ESTE’s exceptional location and the rarity it offers.

“We’ve seen strong interest from a variety of buyer groups, all of whom are drawn to the exclusivity and quality of the build and construction by the 4.5-star iCIRT-rated builder / developer, Urban Property Group. There’s truly nothing else like it along Sydney’s coastline.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112343 project_image_fid=352690]

The project also includes robust buyer protections, including Resilience Insurance’s Latent Defects Insurance, providing 10 years of structural cover, and an independent iCIRT-rating of the developer.

“The iCIRT-rating adds another layer of confidence,” Ross added. “Buyers see it as a safeguard for their investment and their lifestyle.” A highlight of ESTE’s offering is its exclusive wellness amenities, including a heated rooftop infinity pool and outdoor heated spa, a state-of-the-art Technogym fitness centre, and a sauna.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/este-little-bay-jennifer-street-little-bay-nsw-2036">ESTE Little Bay</a> is topped out and is on track to complete towards the end of 2026, with residents moving in before Christmas.

Fortis has secured development approval for a premium residential project in the heart of Woollahra.&nbsp;

The prominent eastern suburbs developer has been working with the 14 owners of the 2a James Street address for the last 12 months, recently finalising the purchase of the 3,500 sqm development site, the largest ever land consolidation in Woollahra and now the largest privately held parcel of land in the suburb.

The current existing and dilapidated buildings on the site date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s and will be architecturally restored as part of the $170 million project.

Alongside the refurbished buildings, the approved concept will also feature a collection of newly built luxury residences, comprising two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments.. Funded by Pallas Capital, construction on the project is expected to commence late 2023.

Fortis paid around $50 million for the site.&nbsp; 
 
Fortis Director Charles Mellick says the team’s&nbsp;work at the nearby Pallas House Sydney and Gaden House demonstrates their commitment towards retaining Sydney’s architectural heritage.

“We feel privileged to have the opportunity to lovingly restore and reinvigorate this site, bringing it back to life,” Mellick says.

”We will be preserving the best architectural elements of the site so it can be enjoyed by future generations.

Mellick says the project is the first time off the plan apartments of this scale are being offered in Woollahra, also marking the biggest sqm regeneration in this suburb.

“Our aim with this project is to be sympathetic to its heritage and context, ensuring that the existing buildings are restored. A new build on the site will feature a collection of premium apartments, bringing together unparalleled quality and premium amenities in a location where new apartments are few and far between.” 
​ 
​MHN Design Union have been appointed as the lead architects on the project, with landscaping by Wyer &amp; Co. The 1900s terrace interiors are being redesigned by local Phoebe Nicol, with a collection of two- and three- bedroom homes with north-facing gardens and secure car parking. 
​ 
​The interiors of the luxury new residences are being undertaken by Alexander &amp; Co. The new build will comprise north facing, two-, three- and four-bedroom residences with large entertaining areas and ample outdoor space. 
​ 
​The 1880s theatre will be restored by Mim design and converted into a single trophy residence, with an expected end value of $20 million. The interiors will be an ode to the historic grandeur of the original property, complete with its own basement, tunnel cellar, internal landscaped courtyards and pool.&nbsp; 
​ 
​Woollahra, one of Australia’s most tightly held suburbs with generational wealth, is located five kilometres from the CBD in Sydney’s east, and is known for its timeless, tree-lined suburban streets and village-style shopping areas. The site is in proximity to the Paddington retail precinct, as well as the heritage-listed Centennial Park.

Pallas Group is the parent company of real estate financier and investment manager, Pallas Capital, and property developer, Fortis. The expected end value of Fortis projects currently under construction or under a planning proposal is $4 billion nationwide.

Fortis paid around $50 million for the James St site.

Having completed One The Waterfront in Sydney's Wentworth Point, busy apartment developer Piety Group is onto its final stage of their Wentworth Point project.

They've submitted plans for two more buildings, at this stage just known as Building F and Building C, which will bring a further 155 apartments to the area which was not so long ago just mud flats.

The development will have 620 apartments across nine buildings with the new apartments since Piety Group started the $520 million development phase in 2010.

Turner Studio noted in their architectural report submitted to the Parramatta council that the architectural form of the two towers seeks to acknowledge the pattern of the substantially completed One The Waterfront residential development.

<img alt="A proposed building" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="99c63429-a1c0-45fb-8007-7f53b0078340" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-23%20at%2012.46.36%20pm.png?VersionId=L8oH8jbEu6lqeLA.ygFDJ0cG4BI8Svr3" />

They noted that the&nbsp;built form of the previously approved development applications have allowed for stepping in the facade alignment, and substantial indents in the built form along Bennelong Parkway.

"These result in a highly articulated streetscape and urban design outcome," Turner suggested, adding that the proposed built form opens up view lines into the central podium courtyards to Bennelong Parkway that improves the permeability of the scheme.

"The new buildings are in keeping with their adjoining context and will marry with the remainder of the scheme. Their stepped building form will further enhance the articulation of the precinct’s streetscape."

<img alt="Building F" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e0495a65-175e-4b16-bc61-aff866e1ecc1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-23%20at%2012.46.25%20pm.png?VersionId=ysmLohibLzmMPUjNleUAMPa1X7n86eh5" />

They say the proposal significantly improves the building separation distances already achieved within the already completed components of the scheme.

Turner note that the proposal seeks to do better than 'business as usual' and has made the landscaping component key to the design excellence of the overall scheme.

"The proposal seeks to create a lush green landscape that frames and envelopes the proposed new Buildings E &amp; F. These new additional landscaped spaces will complete a network of green links that connect Homebush Bay to the Millenium Parklands, and the adjacent Bay Park to the Haslams Creek wetlands."

Turner note that the proposal seeks to do better than 'business as usual' and has made the landscaping component key to the design excellence of the overall scheme.

Piety Group submit final stage of Wentworth Point masterplan

While buyers continue to watch the RBA raise interest rates which, in turn, is damaging prospective buyers potential spending capacity, Sydney developer Piety Group is looking to offset any fears of future rate rises.

As an industry-first, Piety Group, in conjunction with Laver Residential Projects who are selling and marketing the newly completed luxury lifestyle apartments at ONE the Waterfront in Wentworth Point are making a unique ‘freeze your rate’ offer to investor and owner-occupier buyers.

The offer covers the cost of future interest rate rises of up to 1% over two years to help reduce the mortgage costs for buyers should the Reserve Bank of Australia continue to lift the cash rate.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5751 project_image_fid=195417]

James Quigley, Managing Director of Piety Group said they believe the direct cost saving will appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors alike.

Sam Elbanna, Project Director at Laver Residential Projects, calls it a fantastic initiative.

“This is the first of its kind that I can recall in the Sydney market and I think this will give people confidence and, more importantly, peace of mind when buying," Elbanna said.

"There has been uncertainty - however, we know from experience this is likely to be a short-term rate hike for buyers and our offer can help overcome this.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5751 project_image_fid=195420]

The offer applies across the range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments at the brand-new resort-style ONE the Waterfront complex located at Wentworth Point, with prices starting from&nbsp;$599,000. The rate freeze applies for both owner-occupier and investor mortgages.

Piety Group recently lodged plans for the final stage of their Wentworth Point masterplan, adding another 155 apartments to the precinct.

The RBA has now hiked the cash rate in five consecutive months, with experts suggesting there are still a few more rate rises expected in 2022.

Plans for Capital Corporation’s apartment project on the site of the Seventh-day Adventist Church site, Wahroonga Estate, have been given the green light by Ku-ring-gai Council.&nbsp;

Lodged on behalf of the Adventist Church, the plans were approved for&nbsp;136 - 144 Fox Valley Road, following extensive planning, community engagement and modification.

<img alt="Render of the proposed apartment building at Wahroonga Estate " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="17db0d75-bdc8-447c-95df-ed7e26045dc0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Wahroonga%20Estate_View_03.jpg?VersionId=f1_7KBhs9OC_c0d_cyN3gwbC7c9UAL05" />Render of the proposed apartment buildings at Wahroonga Estate.&nbsp;

Set to form an integral part of the regeneration of the 64.2-hectare site on Sydney’s North Shore, 177 apartments will be delivered across four low-rise buildings.&nbsp;

Designed by architectural consultancy firm, GroupGSA, the energy-efficient buildings aim to be visually interesting, contemporary and sympathetic to the surrounding area, with the building’s interiors also benefiting from designs by Coco Republic.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Ranging from four to six-storeys, the buildings will be constructed across two stages, with 143 apartments set for the first stage and an additional 34 in the second.&nbsp;

26 one-bedroom, 95 two-bedroom and 56 three-bedroom apartments will be delivered across the project, with a new two lane access road set to be built as well, providing an entry point to a shared basement.

The apartments will be located within the approved concept plan’s building envelope, just off Fox Valley Rd, with the DA approval coming 12 years after the State Government approved a Part 3A plan for the site, which included the expansion of the Sydney Adventist Hospital and a range of residential, commercial and higher education developments.&nbsp;

The entire Wahroonga Estate is divided into five neighbourhoods and includes 31.4 hectares of environmental conservation land.

Jim Hunter, Director of Capital Corporation, said the planning process was inclusive of the Council and community feedback to ensure the needs of the local area were met.&nbsp;

“The project has been years in the making. We carefully considered feedback from the community and made many amendments in response,” Hunter said.&nbsp;

“The collaborative approach we took with Council and the community ensured we are delivering a plan that meets the needs of the local community and this was evident in the amount of feedback received.”&nbsp;

A review of initial plans resulted in the reconfiguration of the residential development’s footprint, along with the addition of landscaping and open space.&nbsp;

&nbsp;“We are thrilled with the result and we are excited to bring this project to market in early 2023,” Hunter added.&nbsp;

The proceeds from the development will also unlock funding for reinvestment into facilities, new educational hubs and other community assets within the Wahroonga Estate precinct.&nbsp;

Established in 1991, the Australia-owned Capital Corporation established themselves amongst the Sydney development scene as one of the pioneers of the Norwest Business Park, completing 47 buildings within the precinct.&nbsp;

The group has also recently completed a string of developments including the Esplanade in Norwest, Parklands Estate in Rouse Hill, Veridian in Kogarah, along with Stages One, Two and Three at the $1 billion Woolooware Bay Town Centre in the Sutherland Shire.&nbsp;

The entire Wahroonga Estate is divided into five neighbourhoods and includes 31.4 hectares of environmental conservation land.

Urban Property Group are continuing their take over of the western suburbs of Sydney.&nbsp;

Having wracked up a swat of awards for their residential developments in Penrith, including Navali, Lumina and The Henry, Urban are set to transform Edmondson Park in their latest project, with plans for four buildings on a site fronting Buchan Avenue.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of the proposed Edmondson Park residences" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="61573d2f-fe58-44d4-b002-7e59ca3728ef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-07%20at%204.00.34%20pm.png?VersionId=gZvnLx.KkQZyZ8kNE2ALcMf.YkCzVooY" />

The group recently submitted the plans for the project, which will form part of a greater precinct of homes.&nbsp;

Titled Site 5 of the Edmondson Park North Precinct 9, the buildings will top out at eight-storeys, with COX Architecture to design each of the stages across the precinct.&nbsp;

266 apartments will be delivered across the site, with a communal open green space to separate each of the buildings.&nbsp;

37 one-bedroom apartments will be on offer in the precinct, along with 154 two-bedroom, 65 three-bedroom, nine four-bedroom and one five-bedroom apartment.&nbsp;

The group also has plans to develop stage one to three in the Edmondson Park North Precinct 9, along with stage four with the development application currently being prepared.&nbsp;

Sydney property developers to build residential precinct in Edmondson Park 

Developers are setting their sites further west as the expansion of Sydney continues.

A Metropolis of Three Cities, the Eastern Harbour City, the Central River City and the Western Parkland City, known as The Regional Plan, has been prepared by the Greater Cities Commission in a 40 year vision for Metropolitan Sydney.&nbsp;

It envisions a 30-minute city, where residents live within 30 minutes travel of their job, education and health facilities, services and great places.

The Regional Plan projects that almost half of the population growth in Greater Sydney over the next 40 years will reside west of Parramatta in the Central River City and the Western Parkland City, where two development applications have been lodged.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of the ground floor space proposed for the Bringelly Rd project" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bbf30051-f0f3-4c8c-a844-7a1306ee192d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-09%20at%2010.48.19%20am.png?VersionId=wqVeFIPL7Tj4Dq_42D5uu64srcyw97iC" />

Plans have been laid for a four-building development at 313 Bringelly Road.&nbsp;

The Salvo Group, who are a Melbourne-based property group, engaged CM+ to design the three, four-level mixed-use buildings.&nbsp;

There will be 242 apartments delivered across the buildings, with 67 to be included in block A, 84 in block B, and 91 across block C.&nbsp;

The project will be one of the area’s early developments and will foster transformation of the northern part of the Leppington Town Centre.

The site’s rural character will be transformed into a vibrant and multifunctional community that facilitates urban living

It’s projected that the population of Western Parkland City will grow to 1.1 million by 2036 and to over 1.5 million by 2056.

The mixed use development will offer living and working opportunities close to Leppington Station, approximately 400-800 metre walking distance from the site.&nbsp;

It will also create a high amenity living precinct, close to public infrastructure, such as&nbsp; the Leppington Train Station and TfNSW Commuter Car Park, along with open spaces including the future green spaces along Scalabrini Creek and Western Sydney Parklands.

<img alt="Render of the proposed Ingleburn Rd project" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2f1ffcf5-00ed-4c9e-8505-afc9399f73ac" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-09%20at%2010.50.33%20am.png?VersionId=Y5VTwnwYJopVybqJLoT_ueIxCU8HCXLM" />Render of the proposed Ingleburn Rd project

There’s further development planned near Leppington Town Centre, on the corner of Ingleburn Rd and Byron Rd.

The plans are for a medium density apartment building, which will deliver a further 63 apartments to the area surrounding the town centre and 18 townhouses.

The development is identified by two building forms, one being a four-storey apartment building consisting of four cores that wraps around the Ingleburn Rd and Byron Rd corner, along with walk-up terrace style homes.&nbsp;

A mix of natural materials will be utilised, tying the project to the surrounding native landscape, with a fine-grain two-tone fibre cement panel facade donning the buildings.&nbsp;

Urban Link Architects are behind the designs of the plans, which will deliver 17 one-bed, 25 two-bed and 21 three-bedroom apartments, along with 18 townhouses.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of the proposed Ingleburn Rd project" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="971f08cc-6cce-4da1-9255-47ea2cd7e727" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-09%20at%2010.50.45%20am.png?VersionId=EUsALOGaDDbXRHnZczjxGRWyYnRBgXVP" />Render of the proposed Ingleburn Rd project

Separating the two forms will be a communal open space across the ground floor, featuring deep planting creating a pocket park-like atmosphere, outdoor seating space and barbecue facilities, as well as recreational space on level three.&nbsp;

The growth of Western Parkland City is enhanced by the recently finalised Aerotropolis Planning, which will deliver the new Western Sydney Airport at Badgerys Creek Aerotropolis.

The developments also sit within proximity to Leppington Town Centre, along with being just 30-minutes from Sydney Airport, 30 kilometres from Parramatta CBD and about 50 kilometres from the Sydney CBD.

The precinct is also in proximity to Liverpool CBD, which is currently Sydney’s third CBD.

Leppington’s connectivity will be further improved as well by future train links to Western Sydney Aerotropolis.

Camden City set for two residential developments

Buyers at Coronation Property's Merrylands project, Mason &amp; Main, are set to benefit from a huge pipeline of infrastructure due to the project's location in the heart of the 6000-hectare Greater Parramatta to Olympic Peninsula (GPOP) corridor.

Mason &amp; Main, designed by Woods Bagot, will be its own mini-community with apartments set above vibrant market-style laneways with retail and dining, is set just south of Parramatta in Merrylands, which has transformed into a gentrified hotspot that is appealing both investors and owner-occupiers due to a mix of strong population growth an extensive infrastructure upgrades around Sydney’s west.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161005]

Mason &amp; Main offers one, two and three-bedroom apartment configurations across five buildings, as well as resort-style amenities including a pool, private gym and rooftop gardens and a vibrant ‘Eat Street’, creating a new destination for the suburb.

There’s some $20 billion of investment and infrastructure planned over the next five years in the GPOP, fast emerging as the heart of Greater Sydney’s Central City. Merrylands has seen significant investment, with the Cumberland City Council announcing in 2021 the creation of a new civic square in the heart of the suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=160999]

The $11 million project currently under construction will provide an integrated residential, retail, commercial and commuter hub to Merrylands and will be conveniently located within 50 metres of Mason &amp; Main.

Already Sydney’s western hub has seen a dramatic change with the redevelopment of Parramatta Square which saw the heart of Parramatta revitalised as part of one of the largest urban renewal projects in the country.

The $2.7 billion redevelopment included six new buildings, premium office space, a refurbished town hall, multi-level retail, with the site linked by 6000 sqm of public space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161017]

Bringing Parramatta Quay to life is Charles Street Square

The ferry terminal at Charles Street is the gateway to the Parramatta CBD for those who travel by boat, by foot or by bike along the river, in what will be known in the near future as, Parramatta Quay.

The area is also a place of cultural and geographical significance, as the fresh water of the upper Parramatta meets the saltwater of the lower reaches, connecting Sydney to Parramatta River.

The completed escarpment boardwalk provides connection from one side of the river to the other, with the pedestrian and cycle friendly thoroughfare extending under the MacArthur Street Bridge, joining to Parramatta River Cycle way, providing more than 100 kilometres of walking and cycling paths, extending all the way to Sydney Olympic Park.

The Parramatta Ferry terminal upgrade is complete and once the Charles Street Square upgrade is finished the area will become a confluence of leisure activity, cafe culture and transportation hub celebrating one of the City's special waterway experiences welcoming tens of thousands of visitors and commuters each year.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161007]

Construction of the Charles Street Square upgrade is slated to be complete by the end of 2022 or early 2023.

The Sydney Metro West project is also underway, with the new underground metro railway set to connect the Parramatta and Sydney CBDs. The NSW Government committed $6.4 billion over four years to the project, which will achieve a travel time of 20 minutes, as well as unlocking housing supply and employment growth between the two CBDs.

With trains, buses and ferries connecting the Parramatta CBD with Sydney and the wider metropolitan area, the council also runs a free shuttle bus around the Parramatta CBD for those wanting to stay close by.

Further connection will be provided through the development of the Parramatta Light Rail. Stage One of the project will run 12 kilometres, connecting Parramatta CBD to Westmead and Carlingford. Stage One will be operational in 2023.&nbsp;

The Parramatta CBD is also well-connected to major arterials, including the M4 Motorway, Great Western Highway, Windsor Road, Pennant Hills Road and James Ruse Drive.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161009]

A new Museum of Arts and Applied Sciences will open on the river foreshore in Parramatta in 2025 as the new centre of arts, culture and innovation. It will include the newly relocated Powerhouse Museum and a revamped Riverside Theatres.

Further boosting the areas growth is the soon to be developed Western Sydney Aerotropolis, which is set to give Western Sydney residents a more convenient option for travel and boost overall population growth.

Sydney’s new airport is set to open to international, domestic and freight flights in 2026, providing much-needed aviation capacity for the entire Sydney region.

Designed to grow in stages and over decades, the Airport will eventually become one of the biggest gateways to Australia and the primary airport for the entire Sydney region. Qantas Group and Virgin Australia Group have signed MOUs with the Airport and have already commenced discussions about the design of the Airport and potential routes and services.&nbsp;

With the Westmead precinct Australia’s largest health and biomedical research precinct, the site is also undergoing revision with four hospitals, two universities, two large research institutes, NSW’s largest pathology service, and many allied health centres currently occupying the space.

With NSW Health, the City of Parramatta Council jointly commissioned the Westmead Innovation District Master Plan project.&nbsp; The project includes aspirational targets for jobs and tertiary students, driven by the significant government investment planned for the area.&nbsp;

The Merrylands lifestyle precinct in Parramatta's growing Olympic Peninsula corridor

Last year F45 co-founder Rob Deutsche spent nearly $20.65 million on a prime site on Campbell Parade site, the exclusive strip fronting Bondi Beach.

Now, it's been revealed what he's going to do with it.

Recent plans submitted to the Waverley Council are for four luxury apartments above a retail premises at 56 Campbell Parade.

<img alt="The Bondi apartments" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e54c5e3b-336b-4999-8d51-a7f7275eec59" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-20%20at%2011.12.21%20am.png?VersionId=U41N35uktDcOCjFJ4bLTuOy8YpuGsKe1" />

The existing building will be retained. While not heritage-listed, it is deemed as a contributory building within the Bondi Beach Heritage Conservation area and makes a positive contribution to the streetscape of Campbell Parade, a heritage statement prepared for the development submission noted.

There will be a substantial demolition of the rear of the building to make way for a striking new design by architecture firm&nbsp;Architects Nicholas + Associates.

<img alt="The Bondi apartments" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2bd42a21-40d7-4639-b8bc-6eb2d7ba65c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-20%20at%2011.12.25%20am.png?VersionId=fZzaj2dfu4JQPJjE77kFyJIMFfSumxzs" />

The existing retail premises will be expanded to spill over two levels and face Campbell Parade.

There are already four apartments within the building, so the density won't change, but at the moment they are only spread over two levels. There will four levels for the new building, offering considerably more size.

The ground level apartment will have nearly 140 sqm of internal space with three bedrooms and a rear terrace.

Above will be two two-level apartments, which share levels one and two. Each will have four bedrooms and around 220 sqm of internal space, as well as a balcony with gun-barrel views across to the beach.

Topping the development will be a two-level penthouse spanning 250 sqm. The whole top level is dedicated to the master suite which opens to a private 25 sqm terrace with plunge pool.

The application comes a few months after next door, 58 Campbell Parade, <a href="/news/nsw/first-look-rare-new-apartments-to-hit-bondi-beachs-campbell-parade">sought redevelopment into a luxury development of 10 apartments</a>.

The project, designed by MHNDU, is currently under appeal to the NSW Land and Environment Court. MHNDU noted it was important in the design&nbsp;to&nbsp;retain a number of notable original building features. They opened the façade, creating more established viewpoints of the iconic neighbouring beach.

When Deutsche secured the keys at the December auction for the Campbell Parade site, a number of Bondi's most prolific developers were in attendance, including&nbsp;Rebel Property Group’s Allen Linz, who developed Pacific Bondi, and investor and developer Vaughan Blank, both of whom have recently submitted development applications for new apartments around the corner on Hall Street.

There’s nothing quite like looking down from the top floors of a building to the surrounding vistas.

Despite a slowing market, it’s still been a landmark year for Sydney penthouse sales.&nbsp;

A collection of penthouses has recently been released in AURA by Aqualand, with four sub-penthouses already sold.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=202986]

The most recent was purchased by a downsizer from Northbridge, who snapped up the four-bedroom residence for $7.25 million.&nbsp;

The owner plans to downsize from a larger family home and was attracted to the convenience and amenity of North Sydney, along with the area’s unique new CBD masterplan, along with some key trends which universally appeal to penthouse purchasers.

The interiors at Aura have been designed by Kirsten Stanisich of Richards Stansich, with the designer highlighting the top six penthouse features and trends that continue to tick the box for capital growth prospects.&nbsp;

“Glorious views are first on the list. In Sydney, that means harbour, bridge, or Opera House views and choosing a penthouse with any of these is paramount to maintain value over time,” Stanisich said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=202994]&nbsp;

Location is always vital, says CBRE’s Ben Stewart.

“Penthouses close to the CBD and within walking distance to lifestyle amenities like great cafés, bars, fine dining, and parks are high on the list for penthouse buyers right now,” he said.

While a property’s location is vital for retaining value for any purchase, buying a penthouse is as much about prestige.&nbsp;

Iconic architecture that stands out against the city skyline combined with timeless interiors created by sought-after architects and designers will win out over less salubrious developments when it comes to steady capital growth prospects.&nbsp;

“Overall, our clients are looking for beautiful high-quality interiors, an elegant materials palette and a sense of permanence,” explained Stanisich.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=202655]

The layout and planning of penthouse spaces are also essential, says Stanisich.&nbsp;

“Living and sleeping areas should be separately zoned, and there should always be a sense of arrival at the entry as a transition from the building’s common areas to the privacy and intimacy of the penthouse.”

“We carefully consider connections between living, dining and kitchen areas and include amenities like a back kitchen or scullery to minimise cooking smells and visual sight lines of daily clutter,” she said.&nbsp;

Generous shower sizes, huge guest powder rooms, high-quality appliances using the latest technologies, with steam ovens and warming drawers, generous pantries and a separate bar or wine cellar with temperature-controlled wine storage are high on Stanisich’s design list.

“Penthouses with private pools are right on trend at the moment also. High-net-worth buyers want expansive spaces to entertain outdoors, so large, luxuriously appointed terraces and private rooftop gardens will appeal in any market,” she said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=203001]

Many architects specify penthouse finishes one would typically find in a stand-alone family home, like statement fireplaces and sculptural island benches.&nbsp;

These add to the sense you’ve arrived somewhere truly extraordinary, says Stanisich.

“Often downsizers moving from larger homes are looking for the ease of apartment living without compromising on size,” she said.&nbsp;

Bedrooms and bathrooms should create a feeling of welcome retreat from the work-a-day world outside.&nbsp;

“Main bedrooms should be generous and open to views and abundant natural light. Robes and ensuites should feel spacious and well connected, while each bathroom feature should create individual moments for restfulness, thought or relaxation. I think using natural materials is also important for their beauty and ultimate longevity.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=202989]

Ample parking is another must, says Stanisich.&nbsp;

“It may sound pedestrian, but a great lifestyle location often means parking is at a premium.”

"A penthouse must have multiple, spacious, secure and convenient parking for multiple cars, and if it includes a private lift from the carpark to the penthouse, all the better.”

There’s no denying that penthouse apartments are a different kind of real estate. And those lucky to have the resources to buy penthouses have a very different mindset from other property buyers.&nbsp;

At the lofty end of the market, buyers seek the ultimate expression of lifestyle, luxury and prestige rather than simply a place to live or purely a return on investment.

Sydney’s popular eastern suburbs beachside spot Maroubra is set to welcome a rare new apartment development on its beachfront strip.&nbsp; 
&nbsp;

Leading personal injury lawyer Gerard Malouf and his wife Dana has lodged plans for a boutique development at 116-118 Marine Parade.

MHNDU has designed the four-level building which will home just 10 apartments.

The residences will sit atop a stone clad basement level, which has been designed to appear as a landscaped podium.&nbsp;

The project will deliver a mix of apartment types; two one-bedroom, two two-bedroom, and six three-bedroom apartments, with three apartments to be dedicated to affordable housing.&nbsp;

The site is located in an area that is currently underdeveloped, but is zoned for higher density residential buildings in the future, with the desired future character of Marine Parade evident in the more recently constructed buildings further to the south of the site.&nbsp;

The combination of contemporary materials, colour palette and landscaping will provide a well-designed and high quality finish to the public domain and surrounding development, setting a precedent for contemporary development in the area.

The ground floor level will comprise two three-bedroom residences, each containing an open plan living, dining and kitchen area, a powder room, a laundry, three ensuites, a walk-in-robe and outdoor private open space wrapping around the apartment.

The first floor will include two one-bedroom units, again with an open-plan design, a bathroom, a laundry and private open space. The floor also has two two-bedroom apartments, each with a bathroom, a laundry, an ensuite and a walk-in-robe.

On the second floor, two three-bedroom ensuited apartments will be included, each with a powder room, a laundry and a walk-in-robe, with the third floor set to home the additional two three-bedroom apartments, each with ensuites, powder room, a laundry and a walk-in-robe.&nbsp;

All of the apartments will adjoin to private open spaces, in the form of balconies or courtyards, and while no communal open space has been proposed, the site benefits from its location near to Maroubra Beach, and a reserve directly across the road, which provides additional public recreation space.&nbsp;

The development will also include a total of 483 sqm of landscaped greenery at the front, rear and sides of the site, with the designs handled by Wyer &amp; Co. Landscape Design.&nbsp;
