Abadeen has released the whole-floor penthouse crowning its recently completed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/park-residences-cremorne-2-sutherland-street-cremorne-nsw-2090">Park Residences</a> development in Cremorne, bringing the near-300 sqm residence to market for the first time.

Occupying the entire top floor of the boutique Lower North Shore development, the penthouse includes 221 sqm of internal living and a 74 sqm wraparound terrace, with a prized north-facing aspect taking in views across Middle Harbour.

The residence has been completed and fully furnished following a collaboration between Abadeen Executive Chairman Justin Brown and internationally recognised interior designer Jack Freeman, Founder and Managing Director of FREEMAN &amp; CO.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a> and Freeman approached the penthouse as a finished home, sourcing furniture, artwork, lighting and objects from Australia and overseas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378718]

Pieces from Parisian design house Pierre Augustin Rose sit alongside contemporary artworks and bespoke lighting, with Freeman drawing on recent visits to PAD Paris and Salone del Mobile Milano for the final collection.

Brown said the aim was to create a penthouse that felt more like a large-scale private home than a traditional apartment.

"The experience begins the moment the lift doors open. You're welcomed into an elegant dining room before the home opens into an extraordinary living space framed by sun-drenched harbour views.

"Every time someone walks through the front door they pause. It's not just the view, it's the incredible sense of space, the warmth created by the northern sunlight that fills the interiors, and the way every room connects so effortlessly.

"It has all the proportions of a luxury home, while delivering the effortless lifestyle and personalised experience of living in a world-class six-star hotel, combined with the simplicity and convenience of apartment living."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378713]

A secure lift provides exclusive access to the penthouse level, opening to a dedicated arrival foyer and dining area before the residence expands into its main living and entertaining spaces.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing runs across the northern side of the home, connecting the interiors with the terrace and Middle Harbour outlook.

The penthouse also features a fireplace and substantial chef's kitchen, while the wraparound terrace has been designed to accommodate both everyday outdoor living and larger-scale entertaining.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378720]

Freeman said the interiors had been deliberately kept restrained to complement the scale, natural light and outlook already established by the architecture.

"The penthouse is a serene study in quiet luxury," Freeman said.

"The interior pairs soft, sculptural forms with warm timber, pale stone and a restrained neutral palette. Curated artwork and metallic accents add depth, while abundant natural light creates a calm, effortlessly refined atmosphere. In my world, less is always more."

Freeman said the approach was centred around collecting individual pieces rather than simply decorating the apartment.

"Every material, every object and every piece of furniture has been curated with intention. I am a true believer in collecting versus decorating.

"The architecture already provided extraordinary natural light, remarkable volume and an uninterrupted connection to Middle Harbour. Our role was to complement those qualities with unique one-of-a-kind pieces of fine art and collectible design sourced from recent travels around the world."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378694]

Among the collection are solid bronze sculptures by Lorenzo Quinn, alongside a curated crystalware collection and pieces sourced from international design fairs.

Park Residences sits opposite Cammeray Golf Club, Cammeray Croquet Club and Grand Slam Tennis Cammeray, around 300 metres from Neutral Bay Village and its established collection of restaurants, cafés and retail.

Brown said the combination of a whole-floor floorplan, northern aspect and proximity to Neutral Bay was becoming increasingly difficult to find on the Lower North Shore.

"Completed whole-floor penthouses with a sun-drenched north-facing aspect and sweeping Middle Harbour views are exceptionally rare," Brown said.

"Add a quiet position opposite golf, croquet and tennis facilities, a level walk to Neutral Bay Village and only minutes to the CBD, and you have a lifestyle that's incredibly difficult to replicate.

"This is a home that offers the privacy and generosity of a luxury residence together with the convenience of one of Sydney's best-connected harbourside locations."

The penthouse will be exclusively marketed by SRM Residential.

Abadeen unveils penthouse at Park Residences in Cremorne

New Brisbane developer Dalcott has unveiled Marrone, the first of three residential projects it is planning in and around Browning Street in South Brisbane.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marrone-south-brisbane-39-browning-street-south-brisbane-qld-4101">Marrone</a> will comprise 97 predominantly two- and three-bedroom apartments, with larger residences aimed squarely at the owner-occupier market.

The project will sit in a quiet pocket of South Brisbane between South Bank and West End, close to the restaurants, cultural attractions and riverfront amenity that have driven the suburb's continued transformation.

Dalcott is targeting buyers looking for more space and amenity than has traditionally been offered in the inner-city apartment market, particularly downsizers and professionals wanting to remain close to the city.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149951 project_image_fid=377072]

Resident facilities will be concentrated around an extensive rooftop amenity offering, including a swimming pool, spa, infrared sauna, warm and cold magnesium plunge pools, private lounge, dining room and outdoor entertaining areas.

Dalcott Managing Director Lachlan Cottee said South Brisbane's combination of lifestyle, connectivity and established character had been central to the approach to Marrone.

“South Brisbane offers a combination of lifestyle, connectivity and character that’s difficult to replicate elsewhere in Brisbane,” Cottee said.

“Our focus has been on creating homes that feel connected to that environment while providing the level of design, functionality and quality that today's owner-occupiers expect.”

The residences will feature an expressive material palette. Italian Calacatta Viola marble, known for its deep burgundy veining, will be paired with aged brass tapware, Chestnut engineered timber flooring and Tuscan Oak joinery.

<img alt="Marrone" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b8d833da-3b30-496a-ae30-07bdff371b50" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%2010.52.35%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=P6DAgOfaQzIXljKKK5j3e5NhWtrHIu9G" />

Bathrooms will feature Nara Japanese ceramics and glass bricks, while clay, walnut and brass lighting will be used throughout the apartments.

Dalcott has appointed Realm Projects, led by Managing Director Shane Foley, to handle sales and marketing following previous sold-out collaborations between the groups.

Foley said the Brisbane apartment buyer had become increasingly focused on the quality of the home itself rather than simply securing an inner-city address.

“We expect to see strong demand from buyers who still want all the advantages of inner-city living but aren’t prepared to compromise on the quality of their home,” Foley said.

“Many will be downsizers looking to leave behind the maintenance of a traditional family home without giving up the space they enjoy, while others are likely to be professionals wanting a residence that reflects the way they live today.”

“Marrone responds directly to that demand, with generous floorplans, exceptional resident amenity and a location that places some of Brisbane’s best dining, entertainment and cultural attractions within walking distance.”

<img alt="Marrone" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="61f7b22f-899e-4c0f-940a-7d3ab1bfb93a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%2010.52.44%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=PvN1JYxBgUpyCB7efKo52WGdSDs9nmim" />

Marrone will be the first project delivered as part of Dalcott's broader investment in the precinct.

It will be followed by La Terra, a boutique project comprising penthouse-style, single-level apartments on a northeast corner site with extensive resident amenity and city views.

Cottee said Marrone represented the first stage of the group's longer-term plans for the area.

Dalcott was established in 2025 by Lachlan Cottee and Ben Dalgliesh, combining development and construction capability under an integrated model and focusing on architecturally considered residential projects.

Marrone will initially be offered through a pre-release registration campaign ahead of its broader public launch.

Dalcott targets owner-occupiers with South Brisbane debut Marrone

Parnell Developments is the latest to seek significant uplift through the NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority on a Strathfield site previously approved for a much smaller apartment development.

Parnell has sought approval for a 32-storey mixed use tower across&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/7-lyons-street-strathfield-nsw-2135">3-7 Lyons Street and 18 Parnell Street</a>, a&nbsp;1,857 sqm site around 400 metres from Strathfield Station. The building would yield 160 apartments, 15 per cent of which will be dedicated affordable as per the government mandate for buildings seeking additional uplift.

Approved previously was a nine-storey building back in 2022 with just over 30 apartments. That approval came prior to the project being&nbsp;progressively reconsidered as planning policy shifted toward greater density around transport hubs.

<img alt="Strathfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c5af5281-a643-4eb2-b8c4-0081b59c04c7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.16.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=37bd3mI7rHNpThOV_75VO8xsGFwWOi1u" />

Turner has designed the latest building that would replace&nbsp;existing detached homes across the four lots.

The apartment mix comprises 22 one-bedroom apartments, 107 two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus configurations, and 31 apartments with three or more bedrooms. The scheme also includes 203 car spaces across six basement levels and 58 bicycle spaces.

The proposal has been designed around a three-storey podium addressing Lyons Street, with the tower rising above and stepping toward its upper levels.

Turner said the podium was deliberately scaled to respond to the existing street, while the taller element has been designed as part of the emerging skyline anticipated around Strathfield Town Centre and the wider Homebush transport-oriented development precinct.

The Lyons Street frontage would have a more active, pedestrian-focused character, incorporating the commercial tenancy, landscaping and a brick-framed podium with an awning.

<img alt="Strathfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="14b20874-b8c3-4ac7-bc03-92be9a69fb78" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.17.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=av.9TxtqIRTC6v3PkSuu1rL9rreWoe2h" />

Parnell Street, which faces the railway corridor, has been given a different architectural treatment, with double-height breeze blocks, landscaping and communal areas used to soften the interface with the rail infrastructure.

The tower itself uses curved and recessed facade elements, with wave-like indentations across the northern elevation breaking the building into three vertical forms.

A palette of grey concrete, brick and breeze blocks is complemented by clay and terracotta accents, while the upper tower adopts a lighter expression through articulated slab edges, vertical fins and recessed glazing.

Residents would have access to 467 sqm of communal open space spread across three levels. The ground floor would accommodate the more active resident areas, including barbecue and group gathering spaces and an internal communal room capable of being used for working from home.

A more passive viewing deck is proposed at level three, overlooking the ground-level landscaping and neighbouring tennis courts, while a rooftop "sunset deck" at level 30 would provide another social and relaxation space.

<img alt="Parnell" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c3dce401-a80f-4682-8471-4caa01180880" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.17.34%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Xyo8JVqbOhSJXNy6Ih.1cHL.O6i0bGR." />

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Strathfield has been earmarked for substantial change through the Strathfield Town Centre planning work and the nearby Homebush TOD precinct.

Turner's report says the project has been designed to act as a transition between the existing low and mid-rise development surrounding the site and the taller built form expected to emerge across the town centre.

The proposal is being assessed as State Significant Development under the HDA pathway, alongside the concurrent request to amend the Burwood Local Environmental Plan.

First look: New apartment tower pitched for Strathfield Town Centre precinct

An $18 million penthouse has hit the market in Main Beach as construction tops out on La Mer, the $155 million apartment development rising just metres from the beach.

Spanning around 600 sqm across the top two levels of the 29-storey tower on Main Beach Parade, the four-bedroom penthouse is one of the latest eight-figure residences to test the upper end of the Gold Coast apartment market.

Its launch comes amid continued activity at the very top of the market, following the $30 million off-the-plan sale of a Burleigh Heads penthouse earlier this year, which surpassed the Gold Coast's previous $24 million apartment record set in 2023.

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/la-mer-main-beach-3580-main-beach-parade-main-beach-qld-4217">La Mer penthouse</a> has been designed as a private residence in the sky, with 360-degree views spanning the ocean, Broadwater, hinterland and Gold Coast skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378731]

All four bedrooms have ensuites, while the ocean-facing master retreat occupies around half of the upper level and includes its own lounge, private balcony, two walk-in wardrobes and an oversized ensuite with a freestanding stone bath positioned to take in the views.

The residence also features a kitchen designed to accommodate a private chef, a 3.6-metre island bench, expansive butler's pantry, wine cellar and integrated bar.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378732]

A rooftop pool and substantial outdoor entertaining area with its own kitchen sit above the residence, while a grand staircase connects the two internal levels. The penthouse also has its own express lift.

OTP Group Director James Elliott, who is marketing La Mer, said the penthouse was expected to appeal to high-net-worth buyers seeking either a permanent Main Beach residence or Gold Coast holiday home.

“The La Mer penthouse represents exceptional value, considering its quality design, size, privacy and location, not to mention the 360-degree views capturing the beach and Gold Coast Broadwater,” Elliott said.

“We’re anticipating interest from high-net-worth individuals and couples seeking a residence or holiday home in the sought-after village enclave of Main Beach, taking advantage of the unprecedented growth underway in the area and neighbouring The Spit.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378736]

La Mer is being developed by developer-builder ODUS and Nazero, in partnership with funder Metrics Credit Partners.

ODUS Director Byron Sakha said topping out the tower had provided the opportunity to release the project's most significant residence.

“We’ve worked with internationally-recognised studio Sici Design on the penthouse interiors, with a focus on ensuring it isn’t luxury for luxury’s sake. Every element has been thoughtfully designed to enhance quality of life for those who call it home,” Sakha said.

“The views are the hero of virtually every space, but we’ve given equal attention to the fittings and finishes, so every detail exudes elegance and refinement.”

Sici Design Founder and Director Maria Papadopoulos said the extensive views became an integral part of the interior design rather than simply something the residence was designed around.

“The views weren't something we designed around, they became part of the design itself, with the true luxury of La Mer in its feeling of peace, calm and wellbeing,” Papadopoulos said.

“Luxury isn't defined by how something looks, but how it makes you feel, and we believe a luxurious home should be beautiful to live in, not stressful to maintain.”

The interiors combine Austral Dream Dolomite natural stone and travertine with timber flooring and a restrained coastal palette.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378734]

Designed by Plus Studio, La Mer is one of the more boutique additions to the rapidly changing Main Beach apartment market.

The tower comprises just 24 full-floor, three-bedroom plus multipurpose room apartments below the two-level penthouse, giving the project a considerably lower density than many of the larger towers being developed across the Gold Coast.

Residents will have access to a pool and spa, gym, sauna, barbecue facilities, private sun lounges, yoga lawn and outdoor beach shower.

The penthouse has been released as part of the final collection of residences at La Mer, with remaining apartments priced from $4.3 million.

Construction is expected to complete later this year, with a fully furnished display apartment now open on level four.

ODUS releases $18 million penthouse crowning La Mer Main Beach

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/far-east-consortium">Far East Consortium</a> is preparing to commence construction on <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/640-bourke-street-melbourne-640-bourke-street-melbourne-vic-3000">640 Bourke Street</a> this October, marking the next milestone for the Melbourne CBD development and its higher-end Eliza Collection.

Spanning levels 44 to 68 of the 68-storey <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>-designed tower, the Eliza Collection has been conceived as a lower-density offering within the broader development, with only five apartments on each floor, dedicated lift access and a collection of resident spaces reserved exclusively for Eliza Collection residents.

The Eliza Collection forms part of Far East Consortium's broader move toward larger-format residences at 640 Bourke Street, where the number of apartments was reduced from earlier plans as apartment sizes increased.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365685]

"What it's meant for 640 Bourke is we've actually reduced the number of apartments. We've increased the overall size of the apartments. We don't have any studios in here, and what that does for a project is it elevates it," Far East Consortium Director of Sales and Marketing Lauren Sheldon said.

Rothelowman Associate Jun Chang said the design process provided an opportunity to create more generous floorplans.

"We were given the opportunity to be more generous. The apartments became bigger and squarer than any other apartments which had been designed in the CBD before that."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=368869]

That thinking carries through to the Eliza Collection, where the residences have been designed around the space and functionality associated with a larger home, but positioned high above the centre of Melbourne.

Kitchens are equipped with Gaggenau appliances, a butler's pantry, temperature-controlled wine cabinet and sculptural pendant lighting, while engineered timber flooring, stone and porcelain finishes and custom cabinetry feature throughout the broader interiors.

Privacy and security are another point of distinction. Eliza Collection residents have dedicated lift access, while 640 Bourke Street will provide concierge services and secure resident parking. Short-stay accommodation, including Airbnb, will not be permitted within the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365689]

Eliza Collection residents will also have exclusive access to selected amenity spaces across levels one and three of the restored Eliza Tinsley building. These include the Salon with grand piano, an art therapy room, private dining rooms and treatment rooms.

They sit within more than 3,000 sqm of amenity planned across 640 Bourke Street, alongside facilities including a pool, gym, whisky lounge and further social and wellness spaces.

The Eliza Tinsley building itself is central to the wider project's identity. Rather than treating the existing Eliza Tinsley façade as a separate element, Rothelowman used it as a starting point for the architecture of the new tower, with the historic building to accommodate the project's gallery and lobby.

"It's a significant asset and wants to be celebrated and experienced by all residents every single time they go in and out of the building," Rothelowman Principal Stuart Marsland said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=368872]

The tower will rise behind the retained heritage building at 640 Bourke Street, placing residents within walking distance of Southern Cross Station, Flagstaff Gardens, Queen Victoria Market and the Docklands waterfront.

With construction scheduled to begin in October, Far East Consortium has established an onsite display gallery at 640 Bourke Street, including fully built apartments that allow the project's layouts, materials and finishes to be inspected at full scale.

A fully built Eliza Collection apartment is also available to view at the display suite by appointment ahead of the planned October construction commencement.

Eligible purchasers who buy before construction commences can secure the full available off-the-plan stamp duty savings, subject to eligibility and applicable conditions.

Sydney Apartments

The demand for apartments at&nbsp;Iris Capital&rsquo;s $350 million Queensgate project in Potts Point has continued, with nearly half of the apartments accounted for following its launch just one month ago.

There were a further&nbsp;$20 million in sales during Sydney&rsquo;s traditionally quiet holiday period, taking the total sales tally to over $121 million.

Not often do interstate buyers head to Sydney, with the trend often the other way around, but the latest buying spree saw&nbsp;high-net-worth individuals from Brisbane and the Gold Coast secure apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5570 project_image_fid=180676]

Among the recent sales was a one-bedroom apartment without a carpark for $2.2 million, while two-bedroom apartments have sold for between $4 million and $6 million.

Queensgate&nbsp;will deliver a collection of five buildings; Sovereign, Regent, Monarch, Consort and Empress, all featuring individual designs and their own lobby. Exclusivity is maintained throughout with no more than 10 apartments in each structure, with just 48 in total.

Iris Capital&rsquo;s vision for the 18-32 Darlinghurst Road site, which will see the historic fa&ccedil;ade of The Bourbon Hotel retained, has been described as an architectural reawakening for Potts Point.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5570 project_image_fid=180674]

&ldquo;Local buyers were among the first to take a foothold after the official launch, but now we&rsquo;re seeing buyers from all over Australia converging on Queensgate, with many from Brisbane and the Gold Coast snapping up apartments during the holiday period,&rdquo; Iris Capital CEO Sam Arnaout said.

&ldquo;Queensgate undoubtedly represents a strategic acquisition for many buyers looking to secure a position in this dynamic urban precinct.&rdquo;

Total sales to date now account for 23 of the 48 apartments available at Queensgate, which offers one, two and three-bedroom layouts.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5570 project_image_fid=185762]

Each of the five buildings within the development has its own penthouse, some with a private rooftop swimming pool. One of the penthouses has already sold for $16 million.

Queensgate will further enhance the existing Potts Point dining and entertainment scene with its own collection of bars, restaurants, bakeries and cafes along the ground floor.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=5570]

Total sales at Queensgate have now surpassed $121 million, just a month since the project’s release.

With Sydney&#39;s luxury market proving resilient, many buyers are seeing the benefit of downsizing to a high-end apartment development at an affordable price.

Sydney luxury real estate prices are expected to surge by nine per cent this year, according to Knight Frank&rsquo;s Prime Global Forecast.

With many making the move to the unit market as a result of growing housing prices, buying from a developer with a track record and long-term commitment to delivering quality projects has become all the more important for aspiring investors.

Below are four of the best downsizer developers delivering residences in NSW that you should keep an eye on in 2022.

<h2>1. Fortis</h2>

Inspired by a shared passion for excellence, Fortis has continued to grow its portfolio under the instruction of Patrick Keenan, Dan Gallen and Charles Mellick, since its inception in 2016.

Partnering exclusively with leading architects, designers and builders, Fortis boasts a portfolio exceeding $276&nbsp;million in successfully completed projects.

The group recently launched their latest NSW development in Neutral Bay, set to reach completion in late this year. &nbsp;

Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, Colindia boasts seven residences with expansive terraces, panoramic views and minutes from popular restaurants, caf&eacute;s and bars.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90627 project_image_fid=188114]

Designed by PBD Architects, the development comprises six half-floor residences crowned by a full-floor penthouse, while more than 40 per cent of the site features landscaped gardens.

Fortis&rsquo; new developments due for completion in the coming years have been valued at over $2.2&nbsp;billion.

This year Fortis will launch their Mona Rd, Darling Point project, as well as their first apartment development in the blue chip suburb, Point Piper.

<h2>2. Sun Property Group (SPG)</h2>

Launched in 2010, Sun Property Group has spent over 10 years producing and delivering quality residential and mixed-use property developments across Sydney.

Led by Wayne Sun, the company has primarily focused on Sydney&rsquo;s affluent Lower North Shore area.

Currently the team at SPG, who has also just ventured in to the luxury Melbourne apartment market, are selling The Ashton, a collection&nbsp;of just 13&nbsp;apartments on Mosman&#39;s Spit Road.

Designed by A+ Design Group, Ashton was the winner of the Sydney Design Awards 2020. It was named after the artist and teacher Julian Ashton and&nbsp;features Hamptons-inspired interiors, rooftop gardens and ground-floor commercial space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29139 project_image_fid=82420]

Two of SPG&#39;s most recent projects heading in to 2022 are Bala in Neutral Bay and&nbsp;Aurora in Willoughby.

Bala, which comprises 19 two and three-bedroom apartments&nbsp;in Neutral Bay, was another winner for SPG in the 2020 Sydney Design Awards.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9801 project_image_fid=82431]

<h2>3. Abadeen Group</h2>

The Sydney developer, Abadeen Group, founded and led by the long-time CBRE Residential Projects chairman Justin Brown, is one to watch for 2022.

Founded over two decades ago, the development group has an established track record with over $1 billion in projects.

A recent partnership with the private equity real estate investment group Phoenix Property Investors will see them deliver&nbsp;a string of boutique residential apartment projects in Sydney over the next five years.

Among its current projects is Koyo, a Koichi Takada-designed development in Crows Nest, and its sister project, Enso, located in Neutral Bay slated for completion in 2022.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109005 project_image_fid=186099]

A boutique collection of 27 apartments in the heart of Crows Nest, Koyo will deliver 18 three-bedroom apartments, seven two-bedroom apartments and two one-bedroom apartments.

The development group will see 31 apartments and five restored historic terraces completed at its Brighton Le Sands project, Seychelles.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109005 project_image_fid=186099]

<h2>4. Dare Property Group</h2>

Another downsizer developer that investors and buyers should watch this year is Dare Property Group, led by the prolific Sydney developer&nbsp;Danny Avidan.

&ldquo;Dare Property Group was created to fill what I saw as a glaring gap in Sydney&rsquo;s prestige real-estate market. At the time I left the fashion industry after 25 years, the words &lsquo;designer&rsquo; and &lsquo;off-plan&rsquo; had not truly been recognised. I intended to change that&rdquo;, Avidan said.

Since it was established in 2019, Dare has grown to one of the most visionary property development brands in Sydney, with previous developments including The Carlton at Vaucluse and Bronte Place.

The luxury eastern suburbs development, Kalypso Tamarama, is slated for completion this year.

The most anticipated development by Dare in 2022 will be the&nbsp;Piper House collaboration with&nbsp;Fortis, which will offer 20 homes on a 2,000 sqm site in the blue chip Point Piper.

Piper, which stands on the northern side of New South Head Road and wraps around leafy Wunulla Road, will be available for purchase this year.

Top four downsizer developers in NSW that buyers should watch in 2022

The landmark Sydney CBD watering hole, the Shelbourne Hotel,&nbsp;is set to look a little different.

The hotel at 200-202 Sussex Street, affectionately known by locals as &quot;The Shelly&quot; since its construction in 1902, looks like it will undergo a huge redevelopment, which will see a tower built above the current building and&nbsp;its heri​tage facade restored.

Turner Studio has put together the concept plans, which will also see the currently hotel reconfigured. Above&nbsp;is&nbsp;set to be 42 apartments, a mix of 17 one-bedroom apartments, 21 two-bedders and just four three-bedroom apartments.

There will be around 5,700 sqm of residential floor area across the tower, and 830 sqm of non-residential, which will be either offices or retail.

The submission was prepared on behalf of Towncorp Pty Ltd, directed by the Shelbourne&#39;s owners, the Powell family.

&quot;There is a significant opportunity to re-establish the Hotel&rsquo;s connection to the public domain; retain and celebrate the heritage character of the Hotel; and create a slender tower addition that will contribute to the architectural diversity within the CBD skyline,&quot;&nbsp;a report by urban solutions company Ethos Urban noted.

&quot;The Shelbourne Hotel was built in 1902 and at the time was a key landmark adjacent to Pyrmont Bridge at the western gateway to the city.

&quot;Overtime, the Hotel and the surrounding area&rsquo;s legibility, connectivity to public domain and the Pyrmont Bridge has diminished.

&quot;The redevelopment has the potential to re-establish the Hotel&rsquo;s relationship and connections with the street and wider public domain and reactivate the immediate area in a manner that compliments the future Cockle Bay redevelopment, celebrates the site&rsquo;s heritage and creates a slender gateway tower at the corner of Sussex Street and Market Street.

&quot;Redevelopment will bring new life to an aged asset.&quot;

"Overtime, the Hotel and the surrounding area’s legibility, connectivity to public domain and the Pyrmont Bridge has diminished," a report submission noted.

Sydney's Shelbourne Hotel gets concept plan for mixed-use apartment, retail and commercial tower

The prominent Sydney developer, TOGA, has lodged plans for their next residential apartment development.

They&#39;ll be developing for the first time in Kensington, where they&#39;ve submitted a development application for 142 apartments above a mix of commercial and retail at street level. The expectation is approval and sales launch will occur around April time.

Turner Studio has designed the $59 million project at 137-151 Anzac Parade, having handled TOGA&#39;s popular mixed-use Marrickville precinct, Wicks Place, which is around 50 per cent sold.

<img alt="" height="843" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/toga_kensington_2.jpg" width="1200" />

TOGA&#39;s GM of sales, Anthony Falas, says the Kensington development is&nbsp;targeting the higher end owner-occupier.

&quot;The two-bedders are 80, 85 sqm, at the larger end of the scale for a typical two-bedroom apartments,&quot; Falas told Urban.

&quot;We&#39;ve dedicated over 75 per cent of the building to the two and three-bedroom product, offering something that is rare for&nbsp;the area&quot;

Falas added that TOGA wanted to cater for a different market than the area is used to, going away from the more common developments which are targeted at the&nbsp;student accomodation given the proximity to the UNSW Randwick Campus.

TOGA are also offering a range of unique apartments in the project. The SoHo apartments, spread across two levels, give owners the opportunity to have a separate work from home space downstairs, with a studio-style apartment upstairs, accessed by an external staircase.

Falas suggests there may well be buyers of those apartments who will lease out the ground level office space.

Turner Studio Director Kevin Driver, who directed the development application design and documentation, noted in the application that the proposed development will provide a built environment suited to the context that responds to the desired future characteristics of the area, while taking cues from the existing context in terms of streetscape, material and landscaping.

<img alt="" height="826" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/toga_kensington_3.jpg" width="1200" />

&quot;This will be achieved by well-designed building and public realm offering good amenity for the resident population and the visitors to the site,&quot; Driver said.

&quot;By integrating and responding to features unique to its locality the development will provide a higher quality of contextually relevant spatial experience.

&quot;The context is undergoing change following the emergence of the Kensington and Kingsford Town Centres Development Control Plan.&quot;

The development will feature&nbsp;rooftop communal open space with an&nbsp;outdoor dining barbecue area, flexible activity zones, a study and recreation area,&nbsp;and communal gardens, all with the aim to improve wellness of the residents.

There will be further communal open space at street level, with a future laneway proposed.

Turner advise that&nbsp;apartment layouts have been developed to maximise the number of north, west and east facing living spaces to ensure each building meets solar access requirements.

<img alt="" height="905" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/toga_kensington_4.jpg" width="1200" />

Some&nbsp;20 per cent&nbsp;of the apartments will be adaptable&nbsp;in order to provide variety to potential purchasers.

&quot;The site and its environs are undergoing change from a lower-scale residential suburb/retail strip to a higher density residential/mixed-use precinct, incorporating new open space and laneways,&quot; Driver added.

&quot;The architecture and materiality of the proposal draws on the local vernacular, while responding to precinct.

&quot;The architectural design intent and principles are based on a series of articulated volumes to both Anzac Parade and the future laneway to the west. These are given a series of familial characterisations through the use of brick frames/blades and expressed slab edges.&quot;

FAST FACTS:

- 142 apartments

- 19 one beds

- 78 two beds

- 31 three beds

- 14 SOHO apartments

- 691 sqm of commercial, 724 sqm of retail

The Sydney developer, CBD Core, is continuing its&nbsp;residential development&nbsp;in the popular Hills District suburb of Castle Hill, in the booming North West Sydney growth corridor.

Having recently completed Oriel Castle Hill, one of the most impressive developments in the area, the long standing developer&nbsp;is&nbsp;set to create another two residential apartments buildings at 19 Ashford Avenue.

The low-rise towers, dubbed Ashford and Partridge&nbsp;for their locations&nbsp;fronting&nbsp;Ashford Avenue and Partridge Avenue, will rise six levels and home&nbsp;67 apartments within the new Showground Station precinct at Castle Hill, which&nbsp;is currently experiencing substantial urban change from the existing single-family dwellings of suburban character.

The project will be a mix of&nbsp;two studio apartments, 11 one-bedroom apartments, 39 two-bedders, 15 three-bedroom apartments.

LFA Pacific, who are the architecture team behind the design, noted in their design statement that the proposed development will create dwelling choice and opportunities for families in the surrounding suburbs, as family needs change. The studios and one-bedroom apartments will provide an affordable entry in to the housing market.

<a href="/new-apartments/argo-castle-hill-19-ashford-avenue-castle-hill-nsw-2154"><img alt="" height="780" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/castle_hill_2.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

LFA suggested&nbsp;the development will contribute to the desired future character of the precinct which is defined as &#39;to become an attractive and well-connected neighbourhood that achieves housing targets, creates vibrant, safe and desirable places, reinforces the garden shire character and lifestyle and is supported by necessary infrastructure&#39;.

The communal&nbsp;open space in the central courtyard will provide passive and active recreational opportunities, with a swimming pool, fitness and play areas, and outdoor barbecue space.

CBD Core design and build for their demographic, which is predominantly locals who live within a five kilometre radius.

&quot;We have everyone from retirees, downsizers, young families and singles interested in our projects,&quot; a spokesperson for the CBD Core team told Urban.

&quot;We keep projects small in size in comparison to some of the towers that are popping up around the area, and we listen to the community and buyer feedback when creating our developments.&quot;

CBD Core&#39;s most recent project, Oriel Castle Hill, a $75 million collection of 78&nbsp;apartments, completed last year.&nbsp;CBD Core describe Oriel as more of a hotel than a residential apartment block.

<a href="/new-apartments/oriel-33-dawes-avenue-castle-hill"><img alt="" height="814" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/oriel_1.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

&quot;It&#39;s a hotel without the concierge,&quot; CBD Core say. &quot;When we pop in, we see the residents walking around in their robes.&quot;

A testament to the quality of the build of Oriel and the reputation of CBD Core, Oriel only has one apartment remaining, with the majority of sales&nbsp;secured during a COVID-hit stop-start year in the property industry.

Their next project, set to launch in April, will be Astrid, a block of 94 apartments just behind Oriel.

Astrid will feature&nbsp;extensive work from home facilities, with a conscious effort to create both indoor and outdoor communal spaces, outside of the apartments so those working from home have the option to still be away from where they reside. Residents will also have access to the a gym, swimming pool, and a rooftop with barbecues and seating spaces.

&quot;Oriel was&nbsp;the&nbsp;first apartment building complex in the Showground Station Precinct to be approved, so we need to continue to improve on that high bar we&#39;ve already set ourselves,&quot; CBD Core said.

Having recently completed Oriel Castle Hill, the long standing developer is set to create another two residential apartments buildings at 19 Ashford Avenue.

The well-known Sydney property investor and developer, Vaughan Blank, has submitted $9.4 million plans to transform the old Westpac building&nbsp;on Bondi Beach&#39;s exclusive Hall Street in to a mixed-use precinct.

He&#39;ll be creating a new shop-top housing building, with retail premises on the ground floor of 26-32 Hall Street, and 15 apartments above.

BANG Architecture handled the design of the building, just a stones throw from the famous sand, which Blank bought for $17 million earlier this year.

Architect Wieger Meijer, who heads up BANG, said in the design statement submitted to Waverley Council, that&nbsp;Bondi Beach has seen some impressive developments come to fruition in the past decade.

<a href="/new-apartments/26-32-hall-street-bondi-beach">To track the development, enquire here.</a>

&quot;The desired future character can be seen by the overall high design standards, which on its turn has improved the face of Bondi significantly,&quot;&nbsp;Meijer said.

&quot;The trend of these high design standards have been a key driver in the design process of the proposed development at 26-32 Hall Street.&quot;

Meijer described the overall style as &quot;eclectic&quot;, however noted that&nbsp;all developments are tied together with an overall Australian Beach style which has influenced them.

&quot;The introduction of the proposal adds to the developing image of Bondi and adds a lifestyle component to it,&quot; Meijer added.

The development, which sits next to the former post office building which has also been converted to apartments, will comprise six one-bedroom apartments, two two-bedroom apartments and seven three-bedroom apartments.

Meijer says the proposal also reflects current market demands in relation to typologies and living patterns currently established in the local area.

Vaughan Blank has been a keen investor&nbsp;in Sydney&#39; eastern suburbs apartment market for a number of years, having previously spent over $33 million on a block of Art Deco flats in Edgecliff in 2017, which at the time was highest price paid at auction for a residential property in Australia.

Blank has adjoining future developments sites on the Bondi&#39;s O&#39;Brien Street.&nbsp;

Earlier this year $8 million plans were submitted for a <a href="/news/nsw/new-apartments-heading-to-bondi-beachs-hall-street">new&nbsp;arcade precinct and apartment development</a> just up the road across&nbsp;31, 35 and 37 Hall Street.

Behind the heritage building and facade which will remain at the street front will be a new arcade and 25 apartments, designed by&nbsp;Brian Meyerson, of the&nbsp;Surry Hills-based&nbsp;MHNDU.

The Melbourne-based developer, ICD Property, are readying a second mixed-use hotel and apartment tower in the Sydney CBD.

The project at 372 Pitt Street, toward the Haymarket end of Pitt Street near World Square, will be&nbsp;a joint venture between ICD and&nbsp;Belingbak, who appear to be a development arm of new investment firm Belingbak Capital Partners.

Woods Bagot has put together the plans for a 54-level tower,&nbsp;subject to change as the stakeholders continue to work through the architectural design and optimisation process.

<a href="/new-apartments/sydney-nsw">To track this development and be updated on its next stage, enquire here.</a>

The&nbsp;project put forward to council, currently valued at around $156 million,&nbsp;is expected to see&nbsp;just a small collection of just 28 apartments, which at the moment start from about level 40, up to the top of the tower. Current plans are for just two apartments per floor from&nbsp;levels 40 to 52,&nbsp;a mix of two and three-bedroom units.

The top two levels are set to&nbsp;home two full-floor, four bedroom penthouses.

There&#39;s expected to be around 288 hotel rooms, running at nine per floor from level seven to 38.

<a href="/new-apartments/sydney-nsw">To track this development and be updated on its next stage, enquire here.</a>

Residents&nbsp;will have access to the extensive amenity which comes in the mixed-use hotel/apartment concept, with a gym, function room and cinema located on level four, a restaurant and bar&nbsp;with a full width terrace on level three, and a ground floor cafe.

&quot;372 Pitt St will be a monumental addition to Sydney, one that blurs the distinction between personal life and leisure as we strive to bring a first to market hotel and hospitality offering to Sydney &ndash; that is inspired by the diversity of people, local character and originality of the streets and scenes that surround us,&quot; the submission to the City of Sydney Council read.

<img alt="" height="1525" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/icd_main.jpg" width="1200" />

&quot;The team&#39;s vision will bring to Sydney a hotel offering with global character and attraction.

&quot;The new hotel through design, brand, and operation will be a catalyst for the precinct delivering quality architecture, urban activation, social and accommodation opportunities and increased job creation.

&quot;It will provide for the increasing tech community at Central and continue to grow the active centre of the CBD towards the south.

&quot;Our proposal is a unique opportunity for increased city amenity and global identity.&quot;

Central Element's Pienza Neutral Bay Village project on Sydney’s Lower North Shore has project financing from MaxCap Group.

MaxCap will provide a $109m construction facility to Central Element.

MaxCap also recently announced support for Central Element’s Chatswood project which is due to begin construction later this year.

“Pienza targets the luxury down-sizer market where we have seen continued sales momentum over the past year and projects like this are the perfect means for MaxCap to continue with our renewed push in NSW,” said David Oudshoorn, MaxCap’s NSW state director.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29544 project_image_fid=188796]

“There is really nothing else like it in the area, right in the heart of Neutral Bay Village.”&nbsp;

Pienza will be a contemporary six-storey building, designed by leading architect SJB with 39 residences sharing a rooftop garden and infinity pool.

There are also two levels of commercial space and basement parking for both residents and the public.

Marketing commenced in November 2021, with the project being sold by CBRE, with construction expected to commence in the first quarter of this year.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29544 project_image_fid=188793]

Central Element is a privately-owned developer led by directors Wayne Chivas and Shane Smollen with Nathan Chivas as managing director.&nbsp;

Neutral Bay will see settlements this year in Fiducia's 10 top-end residences, the Harriette.

It was designed by PBD Architects with interiors by Alexander &amp; Co and landscaping by Wyer &amp; Co.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29544 project_image_fid=188791]

There's anticipated $38m gross revenue.

The project has been built by Australex Constructions at 7-9 Harriette Street.

The apartments were listed through McGrath Projects agents Colin Griffin and Murray Wood.

The final release of four had pricing from $3,190,000.

Marketing commenced last November, with the project being sold by CBRE.

Central Element's Pienza Neutral Bay secures MaxCap funding

Queensgate, the redevelopment of the Bourbon and Beefsteak Hotel in&nbsp;Sydney&#39;s Potts Point, secured over $102 million sales at its opening weekend launch.

Iris Capital&rsquo;s $350 million project saw a number of its 48 apartments snapped up, with huge sales including a 220 sqm, three-bedroom penthouse, bought by a couple from Sydney&#39;s north shore for $16 million.

Three of the 18 sales secured exceeded the $10 million mark, including the sale of a further two penthouses featuring their own private pools.

&ldquo;We are delighted with the sales result to date and are immensely proud of the product that we have worked tirelessly to deliver to market,&rdquo; said Iris Capital CEO Sam Arnaout.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5570 project_image_fid=180676]

&ldquo;Queensgate has been in planning for seven years so it&rsquo;s no surprise that the response was so overwhelming given the pent-up interest in the project.&rdquo;

Apartment prices start from $1.8 million for a one-bedroom apartment, $2.8 million for two-bedroom, $5 million for three-bedroom, and $10 million for the ultra-indulgent penthouses.

The collection of 48 apartments hit the market on Saturday, instigating a response that CBRE&rsquo;s Ben Stewart described as &ldquo;sensational&rdquo;.

&ldquo;A price point like that of Queensgate&rsquo;s would typically be met with quite a lengthy consideration process, but we had numerous buyers willing to sign on the dotted line the day it hit the market,&rdquo; Stewart said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5570 project_image_fid=185763]

&ldquo;Local buyers in particular have been anticipating the arrival of Queensgate for some time, so there was quite a sense of urgency among those eager to put their name against a slice of Potts Point history.&rdquo;

&ldquo;We had anticipated the competitive demand for Queensgate &ndash; as such, a $20,000 deposit was required to secure an expression of interest for an apartment.&rdquo;

&ldquo;This isn&rsquo;t your ordinary collection of luxury homes - you&rsquo;re dealing with an iconic site close to the hearts of many Sydney-siders, not to mention the remarkable architectural feat that Panov Scott and Tonkin Zulaikha Greer have produced.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5570 project_image_fid=185762]

The project has been hailed as an architectural reawakening of the 18-32 Darlinghurst Road site which will see the historic fa&ccedil;ade of The Bourbon Hotel retained alongside a brand new collection of residences.

Five separate buildings will be delivered, to be called Sovereign, Regent, Monarch, Consort and Empress, each exuding a differentiated design with their own lobby and no more than 10 apartments in each building.

Each residence has been elevated by artistic finishes, boasting soaring ceilings, a limited collection of private wine cellars, and cavernous walk-in wardrobes, all encased in a breathtaking heritage fa&ccedil;ade.

The project was greenlit by council earlier this year after spending over three years in approvals.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=5570]

“Queensgate has been in planning for seven years so it’s no surprise that the response was so overwhelming given the pent-up interest in the project.”

Demand has soared at AURA, Aqualand's $1 billion North Sydney mixed-use tower, with 70 per cent of the first stage already sold.

Local downsizers have been the keenest of buyers so far in the luxury tower, with three-bedroom apartments priced from $3 million proving the most popular as house prices skyrocket across the state.

Two of the sub penthouses sold for $8 million and $8.15 million, with one of the penthouses selling to a local Mosman downsizer.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=184943]

The attraction for the majority of buyers was the mixed of being in a leafy residential location, near North Sydney Oval, while also being aware of all of the transformation of the suburb with extensive investment planned.

Heavy government and private investment in North Sydney has been laid out,&nbsp;with 19 key projects to reinforce Miller Street as the civic spine of North Sydney, delivering over 17,000 sqm of new parks and plazas, creating a new network of laneways, and improving pedestrian safety and amenity.

The closure of Miller Street to cars will open a 7,450 sqm public plaza outside the Metro Station and a new smaller plaza outside the post office.

Plans are in place to turn the tramway viaduct into a large active recreation space and new laneways running between buildings and spaces will create hidden pockets of North Sydney, with&nbsp;new cafes and bars and walking trails.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=181068]

The new Sydney Metro Victoria Cross station, adjacent to AURA, adds another transportation option to the number of trains, buses, ferries, pedestrian and cycling paths at its doorstep, in addition to the freeways in each direction.

Barangaroo is accessible by train in just three minutes.

AURA, at 168 Walker Street, has been designed by award-winning architects Woods Bagot and Richards Stanisich with views overlooking Sydney Harbour, Sydney CBD and North Sydney Oval top of the design thinking.

Apartments feature a simple&nbsp;palette of white marble as a backdrop for the of natural light that comes in through floor-to-ceiling windows, augmented by mirrored surfaces, glazed walls and translucent screens. Residents can choose from three&nbsp;colour schemes—dark, mid, and light.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=181048]

Marble benchtops anchor kitchen spaces, while marble flooring sits below tall mirrors with dark bronze powder-coated framing in the bathrooms.&nbsp;The bathrooms&nbsp;also feature&nbsp;highest standard in materials—from toughened fluted glass to premium tiling and marble.

All apartments offer an open space living to winter gardens, while apartments feature a multi-functional room that facilitates use as a secondary living area, an office, or bedroom.

Aqualand has also just launched its new hospitality arm, Etymon Projects, incorporating a dedicated, world-class concierge service designed to create a 360-degree lifestyle development offering with exceptional service.

Aqualand’s vision is to bring the 5-star hotel experience to its developments by combining traditional concierge services with lifestyle management for the first time.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=181066]

The new service takes its lead from New York, China, Singapore and Hong Kong luxury apartment living, where applying hotel services and a hospitality ethos to homes isn’t new. In addition,&nbsp;Etymon Project’s next-level The Club will custom-fit its services to fit individual lifestyles.

Options will include Home Management (grocery put away, coordinating tradespeople, watering plants and vehicle maintenance) and Home Event Planning (dinner parties, children’s birthdays and more).

Etymon Projects will also manage a providore, artisan bakery, casual diner and a contemporary Japanese eatery in AURA’s vibrant culinary precinct, acting as an extension to residents&nbsp;apartments and a social anchor for the local community.
