Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> has secured planning approval for a $300 million residential development in Lindfield, marking the company’s second project on Sydney’s North Shore and its first on the Upper North Shore.

Located on Beaconsfield Parade and designed by DKO Architecture, the state significant development comprises three buildings of up to 10 storeys and will include 399 residences, including 59 affordable homes and 40 adaptable homes.

Residences will range in size from one, two and three bedrooms, with two-bedroom apartments accounting for over 60 per cent of the product make-up. Residents will have access to a broad suite of amenities, including a wellness area, indoor and outdoor recreational spaces, a pool, a gym, a community room and a golf simulator.

In line with Deicorp’s long-standing focus on creating transit-oriented communities, the project is located just 260 metres from the Lindfield Train Station, reinforcing its role in delivering well-connected housing close to established infrastructure, retail and local services.

The inclusion of affordable and adaptable housing supports greater diversity within the local market, while the mix of apartment types responds to demand from downsizers, young professionals and families seeking access to the Upper North Shore.

Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri OAM said the approval represents an important milestone for both the company and the suburb

“This approval allows us to deliver well-designed homes in a location that is already supported by strong transport and community infrastructure," Deiri said.

"Our focus is on creating places that integrate into their surroundings and provide long-term value for residents, and the broader Lindfield community. Being within walking distance of the station ensures this project supports sustainable growth in the right locations."

Across its portfolio, Deicorp currently has 4,703 apartments under construction, playing a leading role in shaping connected, liveable communities across Sydney.

Its expanding portfolio of Metro-linked developments includes Tallawong Village, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-five-dock-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> in Five Dock, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hyde-metropolitan-sydney-133-141-liverpool-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Hyde Metropolitan</a> in Sydney CBD, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/falcon-alexander-crows-nest-8-alexander-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Falcon &amp; Alexander</a> in Crows Nest and Showground Village, Castle Hill.

Deicorp purchased the Beaconsfield Paradise site last year. Construction is scheduled to commence in Q2 of 2026 and will be completed in 2029.

In a joint venture with The Trump Organization, Australia developer Altus Property Group has announced plans to bring a Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower to the Gold Coast, marking the first Trump-branded project in Australia.

&nbsp;

"Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast is our first official project in Australia and reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering world-class luxury experiences in iconic locations around the world," Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, said.

"This development exemplifies the Trump brand’s dedication to quality, sophistication, and unmatched service, and we are thrilled to bring this vision to the vibrant Gold Coast community."

The 91-storey building, which will become the tallest in Australia at 335 metres, will feature a&nbsp;285-room luxury hotel bearing the trademark Trump logo. It will also include 272 luxury residential apartments, a three-level podium with an exclusive Beach Club, and over 3,400 sqm of premium commercial, retail, and dining space, revitalizing the central Surfers Paradise precinct.

“Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast will be a truly unique offering in the Australian market, bringing the prestige and allure of a world-class luxury brand,"&nbsp;Altus founder and chief executive David Young said.

"Altus Property Group is proud of its track record in delivering landmark developments across Australia, and our expertise ensures this project will be an outstanding success."

Trump Hotel heads for the Gold Coast to become Australia's tallest building

More than a century after the Corrimal Coke Works first opened in 1912, the industrial landmark that helped shape the suburb is being reinterpreted as a walkable residential neighbourhood, with Stage One of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-works-stage-one-27-railway-street-corrimal-nsw-2518">The Works</a> now underway at 27 Railway Street.

For 102 years, the site was central to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/corrimal-nsw-2518">Corrimal</a>’s economic and social identity before operations ceased in 2014. Rather than erasing that legacy, developer Legacy Property has embedded it into the masterplan, retaining and reinterpreting elements such as the iconic 1912 brick chimney and sections of the original C1 Coke Oven Battery, alongside the adaptive reuse of the former powerhouse building.

Stage One will introduce 181 apartments across low-rise buildings, offering predominantly two and three-bedroom residences with completion targeted for mid-2027. The scale and configuration reflect a deliberate focus on owner-occupiers, targeting those seeking a lower-maintenance home in a prime location within the northern suburbs of Wollongong.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359833]

Apartments have been designed to maximise natural light and cross-ventilation, with floor-to-ceiling glazing extending living areas onto generous balconies. Engineered timber flooring, induction cooktops and 900mm ovens in larger residences support everyday functionality, while two interior palettes allow buyers to tailor finishes to their preferences. The material selection draws on a restrained coastal language, intended to connect homes to their surroundings rather than compete with them.

The Works forms part of a broader 18-hectare masterplan that will ultimately deliver around 550 dwellings, new parks, and a heritage precinct celebrating the site’s past. More than seven hectares are dedicated to open space, including Southern Park and a Village Green with community gardens and recreation areas. The creek corridor is being rehabilitated with 150,000 native plantings, restoring biodiversity to the site and softening landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359841]

Positioned adjacent to Corrimal Station and within walking distance of Corrimal Town Centre, the precinct places daily essentials, rail connections and local retail within easy reach. Wollongong CBD, including the hospital, university and entertainment venues, sits approximately 6.5 kilometres to the south.

For buyers more familiar with North Wollongong, Corrimal offers a different proposition: a well-established coastal suburb framed by beaches to the east and the escarpment to the west, with a strong sense of local identity shaped in part by the former Coke Works. The Works seeks to reinforce that identity by creating a connected, walkable neighbourhood between coast and escarpment, rather than a standalone apartment complex.

Sustainability underpins the development approach. The Works is targeting Wollongong’s first 5-Star Green Star-rated community, with water-sensitive urban design, recycled materials and energy-efficient buildings integrated across the masterplan. For residents, these measures provide not only environmental benefits but also reduced operational costs and future resilience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359842]

With construction commenced and display materials available to view, prospective buyers can now engage more directly with the project’s vision, reviewing floorplans, material selections and the broader masterplan in detail. For many local homeowners weighing a move, the opportunity to experience how heritage, landscape and contemporary design intersect may help bridge the gap between familiarity and the next chapter.

As Stage One progresses toward its mid-2027 completion, The Works represents a significant chapter in Corrimal’s evolution, transforming a site that once powered local industry into a walkable residential precinct designed for its next generation of residents.

When it comes to developing in Melb​ourne's Bayside region, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lowe-living">Lowe Living</a> knows exactly what buyers want.

With a longstanding presence in the area and a string of sell-out projects, Lowe Living consistently delivers developments that are as sought-after as their predecessors.

Their latest instalment is in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-vic-3188">Hampton</a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-east-vic-3188">&nbsp;East,</a> the same postcode where they have previously delivered Hampton Hill and Oceano. The developer-builder recently commenced construction on its newest project,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marella-hampton-31-35-alicia-street-hampton-east-vic-3188">Marella</a>, a collection of 32 apartments just five minutes from the beach.

Site acquisition is paramount to success. Lowe Living rarely brings a building to market that isn’t within walking distance of essential amenities, whether it be the beach, a prominent retail strip, or a train station. Marella is no exception, located at its Alicia Street address, less than a kilometre from the retail heart of Hampton Street and Hampton Station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358495]

Equally important to Lowe Living is the architecture.

For Marella, they appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, who explains that the architectural vision was to create a contemporary reinterpretation of the Californian bungalow, a style that’s iconic to Hampton’s heritage.

"By borrowing, abstracting, and reinterpreting elements of this quintessential style, such as strong datum lines, articulated columns, exposed structures, and roof tiles, our design strikes a balance between modernity and familiarity," says Cera Stribley.

"This approach ensures that the development is not only visually appealing but also contextually sensitive, resonating with Hampton's existing architectural landscape."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358499]

The building features terracotta brick, soft cream masonry, and exposed metal detailing, giving it a tactile presence that is intended to weather gently over time.

Internally, the focus on lasting quality continues, with two and three-bedroom residences anchored by sculptural stone kitchen islands, natural light, and clearly defined transitions between living, dining, and outdoor spaces.

The layouts have been carefully designed. Open-plan zones extend to private balconies, with light-filled interiors and generous kitchen proportions, supported by Miele wall ovens, induction cooktops, and integrated fridge-freezers. These are not small apartments rebranded as luxury; they have been designed at scale, with ample storage, hotel-style entry access, and secure basement parking provided as standard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358492]

At the uppermost level, Marella’s Signature Collection penthouses offer city or bay views, large entertaining terraces (some with outdoor spas), and elevated finishes, including fully wrapped stone kitchen benches and a Liebherr wine fridge.

Flexible room arrangements allow for a fourth bedroom or secondary living space, sought-after by both empty nesters who want the space when family visits and families with older children.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358498]

A residents’ lounge on the ground floor reinforces the project’s small-community feel. With a fireplace, private dining area, and adjoining terrace, it’s one of several shared spaces that balance amenity with privacy and scale.

Construction has commenced, with completion expected in early 2027.

Lowe Living continues Bayside legacy as Marella rises in Hampton

A Moroccan-bathhouse residential tower has been unveiled for Budds Beach, with Australian developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/homecorp">Homecorp</a> announcing plans for a $260 million resort-style project in one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held waterfront precincts.

A development application has been submitted to the Gold Coast City Council for a 27-storey tower at 8-10 Acacia Avenue and 25-27 Oak Avenue, Surfers Paradise, marking one of the few new large-scale residential projects proposed for the precinct in more than a decade.

The project will comprise 156 two- and three-bedroom residences, anchored by a residents-only Moroccan spa-inspired wellness sanctuary featuring private treatment rooms, a traditional Nordic sauna and steam room, hot and cold plunge pools and a curated juice bar. There will also be a resort-style rooftop precinct, complete with a heated infinity pool and spa, a residents’ lounge with a private kitchen and bar, a contemporary fitness centre with a yoga and Pilates studio, and outdoor BBQ areas with entertaining lounges.

<img alt="8-10 Acacia Avenue and 25-27 Oak Avenue, Surfers Paradise" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="997f8dbb-4ed1-47e4-8780-d12a3d5cd0e9" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Article%20Feature%20Image%20%28Grid%29_3.png?VersionId=IsDJXxE8.HG92i4dnbmmPQi.fVXjME7I" />

"At Homecorp, we are driven by the pursuit of better - challenging expectations, thinking bigger and shaping communities that leave a lasting legacy," said Ron Bakir, CEO and Founder of Homecorp.

"This project draws on our experience and expertise to take what the market has been craving to the next level - a home that nurtures wellness, calms the mind and lifts the everyday stresses away. A home is more than a place you live, it’s where you rest, reset and find balance."

&nbsp;

Bakir says what sets the location&nbsp;apart is its rare, tightly held nature within one of the Gold Coast’s most vibrant lifestyle and entertainment precincts, yet quietly tucked away in a peaceful, beachside enclave.

"Budds Beach has remained exceptionally limited in supply over the past decade and this site presented an unmatched opportunity to deliver something truly special to both Surfers Paradise and the Gold Coast.”

Conveniently connected to major roads and the G:link, residents will enjoy easy access to Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach and Burleigh Heads, while still being just minutes from the city’s most iconic beaches and the Broadwater’s ‘golden mile’.

The 2130 sqm site acquisition adds to Homecorp’s growing Gold Coast multi-storey portfolio on the Gold Coast, following the success of Eve Residences in Labrador upon its completion in November 2024. In 2025, Eve earned multiple national accolades and went on to win ‘Best Oceanview Condo Development’ in the Asia Pacific region at the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards Grand Final, outperforming entries from more than 13 prestigious international markets.

The company also commenced construction last year on the highly anticipated $250 million second stage of Cienna Varsity Ridge, set to deliver 289 residences by 2027 in the heart of Varsity Lakes, and launched the $210 million Florence Residences along Surfers Paradise’s Monte Carlo Avenue to the market, with construction kicking off last month.

"The property market is constantly evolving, particularly here on the Gold Coast, which continues to outperform national trends thanks to its unmatched lifestyle, natural beauty and growing infrastructure, especially ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympics. We are proud to be adding more homes to the skyline, creating spaces that are not only designed for liveability but also nurture wellness within. They are homes that are built to last a lifetime and beyond," concluded Mr Bakir.

The project is set to launch to the market later this year.

New apartment developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/casa">CASA</a> has appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/decode">Decode Group</a>&nbsp;to build The McLaren, their newly launched North Sydney project.

Decode’s appointment marks CASA’s second builder engagement this year, reflecting what the company says is “the momentum of our business and the dedication of the incredible team working to bring The McLaren vision to life.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141323 project_image_fid=3191]

The appointment follows demolition works on site and strengthens a delivery team that also includes architects Bates Smart and landscape designers 360 Degrees.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-mclaren-north-sydney-45-mclaren-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">The McLaren</a> will rise 14 storeys in a stepped form, cascading towards a sculpted rooftop garden with panoramic views of Sydney Harbour and the CBD. It will have 71 apartments.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bates-smart">Bates Smart</a>’s design draws on the site’s heritage context, with the podium referencing North Sydney’s fine-grain character and adjacent conservation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141323 project_image_fid=3194]

Offering a mix of one- to four-bedroom apartments, more than half of the residences are three-bedroom layouts aimed at downsizers. Interiors feature Gaggenau appliances, natural stone benchtops, and palettes inspired by the local landscape.&nbsp;

A rare selection of terrace homes has also been designed to echo the scale and materiality of nearby Victorian dwellings.

Residents will have access to a suite of amenities, including a rooftop garden, private dining room with wine cellar, and lounge spaces. A new through-site pedestrian link and ground-floor retail will further integrate the project into its local setting.

Builder-developer ALAND has drawn back the curtain on its first city-focused new apartment development.

The North Sydney development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-walden-north-sydney-173-179-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">The Walden</a>, is the first time the company has ventured this close to the city, having previously completed thousands of apartments predominantly in Sydney's west, and more recently in Gosford.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/aland">ALAND</a> acquired the prime North Sydney site, spanning Walker and Hampden Streets just down the road from the Victoria Cross Metro station, for $240 million in June.

Now they've unveiled the new project, a mix of one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments across a 30-level building designed by Rothelowman.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134323 project_image_fid=6384]

The Walden will capitalise on the site’s front-row position on the eastern fringe of the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/north-sydney-nsw-2060">North Sydney</a> CBD, which offers uninterrupted Sydney Harbour views stretching from the Sydney Harbour Bridge all the way to Sydney Heads.

The main tower will be flanked by a small four-level amenity building known as The Pavilion, offering exclusive resident-only amenities including a dedicated concierge service, a sauna and private wellness studio, a gymnasium and fitness studio, a resort-style rooftop pool and sundeck.

There will also be a&nbsp;residents’ lounge, private dining and a wine cellar, and co-working facilities with an on-site meeting room and boardroom.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134323 project_image_fid=6382]

ALAND Founder Andrew Hrsto said the company knew they could create something "iconic" with The Walden when they saw the site.

&nbsp;

“As a company, we had been searching for a site in one of Sydney’s blue-chip locations, spanning the Eastern Suburbs, the Sydney CBD and the North Shore, and when we had the opportunity to purchase this site, we immediately recognised that it could be something iconic – being the last development with a view offering this exceptional.

“We identified the attributes and quality of the site as being perfectly aligned for ALAND – and we feel that this off-market acquisition is a perfect opportunity to showcase our craftmanship and expertise through a truly unique offering."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134323 project_image_fid=6399]

Hrsto pointed to ALAND’s longstanding development expertise as a significant benefit in delivering a positive outcome for The Walden.

“Being a fully integrated development and construction business with a highly experienced team, we have the benefit of in-house experts across the development spectrum, from acquisitions, design, planning, and construction, to sales, marketing, property management, through to building management.

“As one of Australia’s largest private development and construction groups, we’ve been in operation for 23 years, with a Gold Star iCIRT rating and a 100 per cent delivery success rate across numerous masterplanned and mixed-use projects – and we’re very much looking forward to bringing this expertise to The Walden and contributing to the ongoing revitalisation of North Sydney."

The Walden is the latest development in Sydney to have the 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy by Resilience Insurance, protecting buyers from any structural or waterproofing-related issues for 10 years post-completion.&nbsp;

Demolition of existing structures on The Walden site has already commenced through specialist civil contractor Moits, with the aim of completing preparatory ground works by the end of 2025, ahead of construction commencement in early 2026.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=134323]

ALAND unveils The Walden, North Sydney's latest luxury apartment development

Sydney House, the residential redevelopment of the landmark City Tattersall building on Pitt Street in the Sydney CBD, will officially launch to the market this month.

The $800 million development, a joint venture between&nbsp;Singapore-listed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/first-sponsor">First Sponsor</a>&nbsp;and leading Melbourne-based developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/icd-property">ICD Property</a>, will see a glass tower with 241 apartments and a 135-room hotel built above the restored heritage-listed podium.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=12428 project_image_fid=312145]

The apartments will offer&nbsp;rare northeast-facing views across the sparkling Sydney Harbour and Hyde Park, all positioned above a luxury hotel with exclusive access to premium amenities and five-star lifestyle services.

Internationally acclaimed architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bvn-architecture">BVN Architecture</a>&nbsp;handled the design for the residential component and the interiors for the hotel, while&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fjc-studio">FJC Studio</a>&nbsp;focused on the heritage podium.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=12428 project_image_fid=6670]

First Sponsor’s CEO, Neo Teck Pheng, together with ICD Property’s CEO, Matthew Khoo commented that the joint venture team was ecstatic to bring this extraordinary project to market as the first opportunity for those looking to secure their ultimate CBD luxury residence elevated by premium hotel amenities, including select premium services designed for effortless living.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sydney-house-194-204-pitt-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Sydney House</a> will offer a sophisticated expression of modern CBD living, capturing panoramic vistas to Sydney’s most beloved icons, including the Sydney Harbour Bridge as well as Hyde Park out to the North and South Heads,” Khoo said.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=12428 project_image_fid=312146]

Mr Neo expressed that the reinterpretation of the heritage podium levels will feature an elegant heritage bar and restaurant, along with luxurious hotel and function facilities, enhancing the experience for residents. The historical features will be reborn, ensuring that these grand, opulent spaces will once again be enjoyed, appreciated and celebrated by residents, Sydneysiders as well as interstate and international visitors alike.

Managing sales for the project, SRM Residential Partner Tim Rees said that the team has received an overwhelming response to date, largely from local downsizers and upgraders looking for the ultimate lifestyle purchase.&nbsp;

“Once completed in late 2027, Sydney House will be Sydney CBD’s newest icon blending modern architecture with historic grandeur located in one of the most prestigious enclaves of the CBD,” Rees said.&nbsp;

“Pitt Street is arguably the most significant street in all of Sydney. Just a stone’s throw from Circular Quay, Sydney Opera House, Hyde Park and Darling Harbour, Sydney House offers seamless connection with the CBD and beyond. Pitt Street Mall is literally across the road and there is an abundance of dining and cultural venues in close proximity. The outlook from Sydney House will be breathtaking with views of Hyde Park and Sydney’s famous iconic landmarks on offer.

“Following the trend of other global cities such as New York, London, Paris and Tokyo, luxury inner city apartment living with access to premium hotel amenities is the new ‘trophy home’ for wealthy downsizers or empty-nesters who aren’t looking to slow down, as they want to live in the heart of the action.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=12428 project_image_fid=350624]

The project boasts a prime CBD location surrounded by the city’s most premium shopping centres including David Jones and Westfield Pitt Street as well as some of Sydney's best restaurants, bars,&nbsp;pubs, theatres, museums, art galleries, and parks.

Residents will be able to access the newly opened Sydney Metro Gadigal Station, located within a block from Sydney House. This station provides connectivity to Martin Place (one min), Barangaroo (three mins) and North Sydney (11 mins) as well as Chatswood and Macquarie University through to Castle Hill and Norwest. With services every four minutes during peak times, the Sydney Metro provides the ultimate convenience with 21 stations from Tallawong to Sydenham.

One of Sydney’s leading residential construction companies, particularly in premium off the plan luxury residences, Richard Crookes Constructions, will complete the project in late 2027.&nbsp;

Price guides at Sydney House include one-bedroom apartments from $1.5 million, two-bedroom apartments from $2.3 million and three-bedroom apartments from $5 million.

Set to bring next level luxury to Sydney CBD’s prestige property market

Buyers set for first chance at Sydney House, Sydney CBD's newest landmark tower development

Renowned developer-builder DASCO has unveiled its much-anticipated new development in the heart of Epping.

The architectural brief for Turner Studio was to “create a community where residents are completely immersed in a paradise for the senses.”

The result is <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/senso-epping-242-244-beecroft-road-epping-nsw-2121">Senso</a>, a series of buildings that have been oriented around an unrepeatable 10,000 sqm-plus site to create a facility-laden, landscape-first precinct, something of which Epping and its surrounds have not seen before.

There are 479 apartments available in a variety of floorplans across the five buildings, a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments in addition to a curated penthouse collection.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4553]

The apartments have been designed to appeal to the owner-occupier market, with generous floorplans, premium materials, and optional upgrades including integrated refrigeration, bespoke joinery, and motorised blinds.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dasco-australia">DASCO</a>, who builds its own developments, is once again bringing peace of mind to its clients by taking the 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy offered by Resilience Insurance, which protects buyers against any structural or waterproofing issues for 10 years post completion of the building. This insurance can only be taken out by the builder or developer and not by individual apartment owners.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4552]

DASCO is known for creating more than just apartments — they create places where people connect. Senso will have over 4,000 sqm of resort-inspired communal amenity in the form of two rooftop pools, a celestial outdoor cinema, wellness club, sensory walk, and an observation deck, in addition to multiple BBQ and outdoor communal areas on multiple levels, intended to deliver a complete lifestyle offering within the residential environment.

There will be over 800 sqm of retail space on street level, which will likely be run as hospitality venues.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4396]

Located adjacent to the new Epping Town Centre masterplan, and just a five-minute walk from Epping Metro Station, Senso offers seamless access to Macquarie Park, Chatswood and the Sydney CBD. Families who are interested in the large two- and three-bedroom apartments are within proximity to several regarded educational institutions including Macquarie University, James Ruse Agricultural High, and Cheltenham Girls School.

The project also leverages Epping’s growing dining and retail precinct, proximity to Macquarie Centre, and access to natural assets including Terrys Creek walking trails and Boronia Park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134954 project_image_fid=4399]

With a 33-year track record and over 7,000 dwellings delivered, DASCO continues to develop and build; a business model that enables integrated delivery and peace of mind, especially when Senso is backed by Latent Defects Insurance (LDI), providing 10 years of protection for buyers at no additional cost.

The launch of Senso Epping reinforces DASCO’s active pipeline of Sydney-based developments at a time when the market is increasingly focused on owner-occupier appeal, delivery confidence, and long-term quality.

DASCO is partnering on Senso Epping with leading Australian alternative asset management firm Metrics, which has more than $30 billion in assets under management.

DASCO reveals Senso, Epping’s first resort-style apartment development

The development wave of new apartments in Macquarie Park is showing no signs of slowing down.

The latest to secure approval is Legacy Property and&nbsp;Billbergia, who has been given the green light to deliver two towers opposite Macquarie Shopping Centre.

The joint venture is planning 255 apartments across <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/15-21-cottonwood-crescent-macquarie-park-nsw-2113">two 21 and 19-level buildings on Cottonwood Crescent</a>. The apartments will sit above a four-level podium, ground-floor retail, and several levels of basement parking for 288 cars.

More than 2,400 sqm of communal landscaping will be integrated through the scheme, designed by Place Design Group. The open space connects with neighbouring green corridors including Elouera Reserve and Shrimptons Creek.

The $182 million project, designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ajc-architects">AJC Architects</a>, will rise from a large 5,130 sqm site, currently occupied by&nbsp;four older low-rise apartment blocks.

The towers are designed as slender vertical forms with stepped elements to introduce variation to the skyline. At street level, the podium has been configured to create an activated frontage and generous resident lobbies.

Apartment layouts emphasise two and three-bedroom residences, aligning with demand from owner-occupiers in the Macquarie Park corridor.

Macquarie Park is going through a wave of new development to keep up with the growing demand for new housing on Sydney's expanded metro line.

TOGA is currently building <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/macquarie-rise-122-herring-road-macquarie-park-nsw-2113">Macquarie Rise</a>, its fourth project in the suburb well known for its reputable university. They have around 268 apartments across their buildings, that will be anchored by&nbsp;1,200 sqm of retail space, opening onto landscaped communal areas.

Urban Property Group is developing La Vera, while Meriton and Landmark Group continue with their large-scale projects.

Northland Group’s Central Quarter apartment development, located in the heart of Merrylands, ticks every box that buyers consider when purchasing a brand-new apartment.

CQ, currently under construction on Pitt Street, will comprise 194 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments in the heart of the growing suburb.

<h2>Guaranteed Delivery</h2>

First and foremost is the guarantee of delivery. <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/northland">Northland</a> has only just launched the development, despite being close to topping out the main structure. They progressed well into construction before bringing the project to market, giving buyers confidence that the development is genuinely moving ahead.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5660 project_image_fid=1674]

<h2>Quality Assurance</h2>

The second — and perhaps most important — consideration for new apartment buyers is not just whether the project will be completed, but whether it will be finished to a high standard. Northland Group is the only developer in Merrylands to take out Resilience Insurance’s Latent Defects Insurance, offering buyers protection from any structural or waterproofing issues for 10 years after completion. Northland also has a vastly experienced construction team, having been building across Sydney for the best part of three decades.&nbsp;

<h2>Prime Location</h2>

The third pillar, which is paramount, is location — and how well the apartment fits into a buyer’s lifestyle. It must be well-connected to both transport and local amenities. <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/central-quarter-merrylands-242-252-pitt-street-merrylands-nsw-2160">Central Quarter</a> occupies a prime site on Pitt Street, right next to the Merrylands Bus Interchange and Merrylands Train Station. This offers direct access to Parramatta, just one stop away, and places the CBD within 35 minutes.

<h2>Amenity-Rich Environment</h2>

While the development is already close to everything Merrylands has to offer, Northland Group is adding further value by delivering 22 new retail tenancies at the base of the building and within the commercial podium. Confirmed tenants include a 24/7 gym operator, a provider for a 111-place childcare centre, and major fast-food retailers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5660 project_image_fid=1613]

Residents will also have private access to a rooftop with several breakout spaces, barbecue areas, and a children's playground.

<h2>Thoughtfully Designed Apartments</h2>

With all the above boxes ticked, attention turns to the apartments themselves. Northland has gone above and beyond, offering large floorplans and premium finishes as standard. Kitchens include stone island benches, integrated Smeg appliances (gas cooktop, oven, rangehood, microwave, and dishwasher), and Villeroy &amp; Boch tapware.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5660 project_image_fid=1607]

Even the small details haven’t been overlooked. The integrated VRF air conditioning system allows for zoned temperature control in each room. Furthermore, each Central Quarter balcony will be built with pedestal tiles allowing for seamless indoor/outdoor living.&nbsp;

<h2>A Decade in the Making</h2>

Central Quarter has been over a decade in the making, with Northland Group securing the site back in 2014. Years of careful planning and design have gone into creating a product that truly suits the area.

With completion expected by early to mid-2026 and interest rates forecast to fall further before then, now is arguably the perfect time to secure a new home at this advanced stage of construction.

Why Northland Group’s Central Quarter apartment development ticks every box

Developments plans continue to pour in in the Sydney CBD.

While there's been skyscrapers sought and approved across the city in recent months, the latest plans are more boutique.&nbsp;

SLD Development has filed for a $30 million mixed-use building on a near-800 sqm site at 768-772 George Street, on the corner of Rawson Place, in Haymarket.

The adaptive reuse plans will see the heritage-listed GIO Building, built in the 1930s, redeveloped and incorporated into the new structure. It was designed in the "Inter-War Chicagoesque style", and has been subject to extensive internal alterations over time.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/dickson-rothschild">Dickson Rothschild</a>&nbsp;has designed the new building, which will rise as high at 14 storeys. There will be an 83-room hotel across the first seven levels, behind the retained heritage facade, and a rooftop bar for hotel guest.

Above the hotel will be an additional six-storey structure, with 30 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments.

<img alt="heritage" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6d46f11c-9746-4ffd-bc75-f1b9ad8a8348" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-08-14%20at%201.22.37%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=u2H9P0Pmg1kI.xZukLK15BkEoYPxQ3jz" />

The ground floor would be activated by two food and drink premises, supported by shared building services including a loading dock, plant, waste facilities, and end-of-trip amenities located in the basement.

According to the Urban Design Report, the design strategy centres on reinstating the heritage building’s prominence at this corner location, improving the public interface along George and Barlow Streets, and introducing finer-grained ground-level activation.&nbsp;

The new upper form is set back to respect the existing street wall, while providing a scale transition to taller nearby developments envisaged under the Central Precinct Renewal and Haymarket–Chinatown Public Domain plans.

The George and Barlow Street elevations, identified as the most significant heritage elements, would be retained, while less-significant facades to Parker Lane and the northern boundary would be adapted to suit the new program.

SLD Development was founded in 2015 and has developments in Killara, Kogarah, Sutherland, and Castle Hill.&nbsp;

They noted on their website that the Haymarket development is "set to redefine luxury living in the heart of Sydney."

"This prestigious project will feature an exquisite blend of a luxury hotel and premium residential apartments, offering unparalleled comfort and sophistication. Ideally located on George Street, this development enjoys high pedestrian exposure and provides seamless access to the best of the city."

The latest plans joins several major announcements in the last few months. Lendlease has sought to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/lendlease-buys-approved-liverpool-st-hyde-park-development-site-on-sydney-cbd-fringe">develop around 200 apartments on Hyde Park</a>, while Charter Hall has been given approval to develop <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/city-of-sydney-backs-charter-hall-s-925m-hyde-park-tower">its Hyde Park tower</a>.

First look: Apartment and hotel plans proposed for Haymarket’s heritage-listed GIO Building

The NSW Government will take the lead in rezoning the Burwood North Metro Precinct, that could deliver around 15,000 new homes near the future Sydney Metro station, creating new housing and job opportunities close to transport and services. 
 
The new Burwood North Metro Station provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a thriving inner-west precinct near a world class metro line, just four stations away from the Sydney CBD. 
 
Centred around the new Burwood North Metro Station, the rezoning will deliver a new precinct supported by major public transport links and open space, while rejuvenating another part of the Parramatta Road corridor. 
 
The current Burwood train station and Parramatta Road bus links are also nearby, along with strong local schools and shopping precincts, with the Parramatta River a short distance away. 
 
Burwood Council and Canada Bay Council have both progressed individual masterplans to deliver homes in their Local Government Areas. The NSW Government will build upon the Councils’ plans as well as identify further opportunities for residential growth to better respond to the future Sydney Metro station. 
 
The rezoning is being progressed through the State Significant Rezoning Pathway, which was introduced by the Minns Government to fast-track major rezoning proposals. The State Significant Rezoning Policy, introduced in September 2024, fast tracks the rezoning of key precincts, and existing planning proposals delayed in the planning system. 
 
NSW is in need of bold housing solutions. Sydney is the second least affordable city in the world, with house prices having significantly outstripped wage growth over the last two decades. 
 
A key focus of the state-led rezoning will be to deliver precinct-wide infrastructure that will enable essential services and amenities to be delivered alongside the new housing. 
 
The Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure will now work with both councils and the relevant state government agencies to progress the rezoning, with a draft masterplan expected to be exhibited in the first half of 2026. This will be followed by a final precinct masterplan, at which stage development applications can be lodged under the new planning controls. 
 
This new site builds on the NSW Government’s earlier announcements of state-led and state-assessed rezoning projects. To date, 25 projects have been progressed as state rezonings, with the potential to enable the delivery of an estimated 60,000 homes and 68,000 jobs.

The Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) NSW, says the NSW Government’s decision to lead the rezoning of Burwood is an essential move to unlocking much needed housing supply, accelerating the planning system, and ensuring coordinated infrastructure delivery.&nbsp;

“The NSW rezoning process is currently one of the slowest in the country. Any action that helps to speed this up, particularly in well-located areas like Burwood North, should be welcomed,” said UDIA NSW CEO, Stuart Ayres.&nbsp;

“New homes start with rezoned land. That’s why we’re encouraged to see the NSW Government stepping in to lead the process at Burwood North. The more the State can be involved in finalising these complex rezonings, especially where boundaries are shared, the better the outcomes for everyone."

NSW Government to rezone Burwood North and trigger 15,000 new homes near future Sydney Metro Station

Reputable builder-developer TOGA is reviving its mixed-use masterplan precinct in Sydney's Five Dock.

The&nbsp;new State Significant Development Application and rezoning proposal is for nearly 700 dwellings across four buildings on the prime Parramatta Road site.

There will be three shoptop housing towers ranging from 14 to 28 storeys, and one eight-storey build-to-rent (BTR) building with co-living units and co-working space. There will be 50 affordable housing units. The masterplan will also include ground-level retail anchored by a full-line supermarket

<img alt="51-55 Parramatta Road, Five Dock" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7779f1ce-4e41-4366-967f-a9025c023052" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Five%20dock%20location.png?VersionId=wQzc1r_9f.m5jokX_DiJ9ItcdUqYJapQ" />

Architecture firm Bates Smart has been engaged to draw up the plans.

They said their vision is for a "sustainable and permeable mixed-use precinct that builds on the urban design principles established in the recently rezoned Kings Bay Precinct."

The project spans a consolidated 18,500 sqm site fronting Parramatta and Queens Roads. TOGA’s concept integrates residential, retail, and community uses with substantial public realm upgrades.&nbsp;

A new 2,090 sqm public park, widened road frontages, a through-site pedestrian and cycle link, and a new local street are proposed as part of the transformation of the Kings Bay Precinct, an area identified under the Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation Strategy (PRCUTS) for high-density redevelopment

The scheme includes:

<ul>
	<li>Three residential towers (Buildings 1–3) with shop top housing (14–28 storeys)</li>
	<li>One eight-storey BTR/co-living building (Building 4)</li>
	<li>674 total dwellings, including a mix of studio to four-bedroom apartments</li>
	<li>Retail and potential community space at ground level</li>
	<li>Three-level basement for car parking and supermarket</li>
	<li>New east-west and north-south connections through the site</li>
	<li>7.5 per cent affordable housing provision, in perpetuity</li>
</ul>

<img alt="51-55 Parramatta Road, Five Dock" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e91e8db0-f734-483a-9e04-87725253f72b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Five%20dock%20precinct.png?VersionId=tkXiCp1dEUZMB1Vs7AZhJwFYq4XtWTlU" />

The submission follows the refusal of a previous scheme, known as Five Dock Village, that proposed over 1,000 homes across four towers. The 2024 rejection by Canada Bay Council cited excessive height, bulk, and non-alignment with PRCUTS objectives.

In contrast, the current approach focuses on design excellence and planning alignment, facilitated by a concurrent rezoning and SSD pathway under the Housing Delivery Authority. TOGA will pursue a streamlined design review process via the State Design Review Panel, waiving a competitive design competition while ensuring architectural quality through oversight and review

“The revised scheme responds to council and state feedback and delivers a more integrated outcome,” the scoping report notes, highlighting the project’s focus on active ground-level uses, walkability, and local character.

<img alt="51-55 Parramatta Road, Five Dock" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="11c1be94-1009-4a51-b7bb-061accb2699e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Five%20dock%20pers.png?VersionId=UVhKtIsr55no2V15fnlJsSdqxPFxw.1U" />

The site falls within the Kings Bay Precinct, an emerging redevelopment zone along Parramatta Road that includes projects such as 129-155 Parramatta Road and 53-75 Queens Road. It sits less than a kilometre from the future Five Dock Metro Station, currently under construction as part of the Sydney Metro West line, strengthening the project’s public transport connectivity and alignment with NSW’s 30-minute city goal

The development is also expected to make a significant contribution to the NSW Government’s housing targets, with the Canada Bay LGA required to deliver 5,000 new homes by 2029.&nbsp;

The proposal supports key pillars of the NSW Housing Strategy and National Housing Accord, with a mix of tenures, affordable housing, and timely delivery potential.

TOGA to push on with Five Dock mixed-use masterplan

The timing couldn’t be better for the upcoming launch of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sydney-house-194-204-pitt-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Sydney House</a>, the newest mixed-use tower in the heart of Sydney’s CBD.

Joint venture partners—Singapore-listed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/first-sponsor">First Sponsor</a> and Melbourne-based lifestyle developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/icd-property">ICD Property</a>, chose to bide their time before launching the project, a redevelopment of the landmark City Tattersalls Building on Pitt Street.

They opted to wait until the complex build was well underway, a project that involves retaining the heritage-listed podium while constructing a soaring 55-storey glass tower above.

Their patience, aimed at instilling market confidence in the project’s delivery, has clearly paid off.

According to Charter Keck Cramer's H2 2024 State of the Market Report, the Sydney apartment market faces a significant supply-demand imbalance with continued population growth paired with limited new supply. The report highlights the post-pandemic impact on the apartment supply pipeline, with many planned projects placed on hold or discontinued, due to the broader construction environment.

Sydney House is more than two years into its construction program.&nbsp;Delivery partner <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/richard-crookes-constructions">Richard Crookes Constructions</a> commenced construction in Q1 2022 and is expected to complete in early 2027.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=12428 project_image_fid=312146]

A recent research report published by CBRE in June 2025 suggests that Australia’s population growth is set to experience continued growth of up to 15 per cent by 2030 supporting the requirement for new housing solutions.

The report highlights that the Sydney apartment supply over the next five-year period is forecast at 12,200 dwellings per annum with a demand forecast requirement of 30,000 dwellings. This suggests that demand for new apartments in central Sydney is expected to exceed supply for years to come, poising the market for a period of growth.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=12428 project_image_fid=350621] 
&nbsp; 
SRM Residential Partner and former CBRE Director, Tim Rees says that around 80 per cent of ‘right-sizer’ purchasers seek a property that’s easier to maintain.

"Approximately half see this as part of their retirement plan, and 40 per cent do so as they want the proceeds of their former home for other things," Rees says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=12428 project_image_fid=350623]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sydney-house-194-204-pitt-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Sydney House</a> will comprise 241 premium apartments above a new 135-room boutique hotel.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bvn-architecture" target="">BVN</a>&nbsp;Architecture has led the design of the tower, which will rise above the retained heritage podium. That podium, to be carefully restored by FJC Studio, will house a collection of high-end hospitality venues once complete.

Rees says that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sydney-house-194-204-pitt-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Sydney House</a> will be&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/sydney-nsw" target="">Sydney</a>&nbsp;CBD’s newest icon, blending modern architecture with historic grandeur located in one of the most prestigious enclaves of the CBD.&nbsp;

“Pitt Street is arguably the most significant street in all of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/sydney-nsw" target="">Sydney</a>," Rees says.

"Just a stone’s throw from Circular Quay, The Opera House, Hyde Park and Darling Harbour,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sydney-house-194-204-pitt-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Sydney House</a> offers seamless connection with the CBD and beyond. Pitt Street Mall is literally across the road, and there is an abundance of dining venues in close proximity. The outlook from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sydney-house-194-204-pitt-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Sydney House</a> will be breathtaking with views of Hyde Park and&nbsp;Sydney’s famous iconic landmarks&nbsp;on offer."
