Malaysian developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> is the latest to jump into St Leonards booming Transport Oriented Development precinct.

The developer, which has previously delivered Sapphire by the Gardens apartment development in Melbourne, identified the Atchison Street site in 2023. It filed a Scoping Report around 12 months ago, and now has revealed the designs for the new&nbsp;40-storey mixed-use tower.

The State Significant Development Application covers <a href="https://next-portal.urban.com.au/projects/14650/summary">20-22 Atchison Street</a>, a 1,374 sqm site positioned between St Leonards Station and the new Crows Nest Metro station.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the project would deliver 181 apartments, above a four-storey commercial podium, five basement levels, and new public domain works along Mitchell Street. The apartment mix comprises 35 one-bedroom apartments, 39 one-bedroom-plus-study apartments, 85 two-bedroom apartments, and 22 three-bedroom residences.

The proposal has been lodged as a shop-top housing development under the NSW Government’s TOD planning pathway, which allows increased density around key transport infrastructure. The site sits within the recently rezoned Crows Nest Accelerated TOD Precinct.

<img alt="First look: SP Setia targets St Leonards skyline with 40-storey TOD tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b799673d-48e2-46b0-801a-0e33a9330100" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/atchinson%20site.png?VersionId=dPh0UfwfaHpbFL1R7H1cbZNbIW0CHbCC" />

SP Setia acquired the Atchison Street site as part of its continued expansion into the Australian apartment market. In comments made to City &amp; Country (The Edge Malaysia) in 2023, SP Setia President and CEO Datuk Choong Kai Wai described the acquisition as “a strategic move” aligned with the group’s post-pandemic market recovery strategy.

“Our target for this exceptional development is local and overseas buyers, including first-home buyers, downsizers and investors,” Choong said.

The tower has been designed as a slender vertical form rising from a mixed-use podium, with COX Architecture positioning the development as a response to the evolving St Leonards and Crows Nest skyline.

“The purpose of the project is to facilitate the delivery of high-quality housing at a strategically located site and deliver a built tower outcome that is consistent with the desired future character of St Leonards and aligns with the TOD controls,” the design report stated.

<img alt="First look: SP Setia targets St Leonards skyline with 40-storey TOD tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b1a85eee-76f7-436c-a6da-73ba827b9b13" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/atchinson%20entry.png?VersionId=dA9jHGPMcm.dDbwk4QfxqWiY5bfh3UVt" />

The podium would incorporate retail uses fronting Atchison Street, commercial tenancies, landscaped communal areas, and pedestrian improvements along Mitchell Street. Vehicle access and loading would be consolidated via Atchison Lane.

Residents would have access to more than 665 sqm of communal indoor and outdoor spaces, while the development proposes 96 parking spaces across five basement levels.

The proposal also includes a commitment for 10 per cent of residential floor space to be allocated toward affordable housing through a monetary contribution.

COX said the tower form responds directly to the emerging high-density character of the precinct while seeking to maximise solar access, cross ventilation, and outlook from apartments.

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

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

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

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

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

Sekisui House Australia has commenced construction on the latest stage of Sanctuary, its new $2 billion waterfront community in Wentworth Point.

The mixed-use development will add 2,100 homes to a former industrial area, as well as create a new dynamic waterside precinct.

The latest stage, Willow, will be one of seven buildings in the burgeoning development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6969 project_image_fid=228634]

Sanctuary’s masterplan, designed by architecture and design studio TURNER, will span 9.4 hectares across six stages.

The masterplan design also allows for future public transport links within its streetscape, including the $602.4 million megaproject - Parramatta Light Rail, the delivery of which will transform the suburb.

Situated along the waterfront of <a href="/developments/wentworth-point-nsw-2127">Wentworth Point</a>, the latest stage of <a href="/new-apartments/sanctuary-wentworth-point-willow-release-11-wattlebird-road-wentworth-point-nsw-2127">Sanctuary</a>, Willow features 309 apartments, 100 of which have been snapped up.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6969 project_image_fid=228637]

Willow’s architectural design elevates the natural surroundings, offering most apartments with dual aspects that provide expansive views spanning Newington Nature Reserve to the Parramatta River, extending to the Blue Mountains. &nbsp;

The design of the new stage is influenced by the curves of the Parramatta River, the vibrant colours of the nearby parklands, and the patterns found in native flora. The design philosophy blends nature into the core of the development, fostering a harmonious connection between residents and their surroundings.

Sanctuary will feature an organic-shaped lagoon pool at the centre of the development, forming a 'green heart' with extensive landscaping and gardens.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6969 project_image_fid=228561]

Sekisui House Australia's Paul Wainwright said people see the appeal of living at one of Sydney’s last and largest absolute north-facing riverfront apartment addresses.

"It’s the final piece of the jigsaw in the reimagining of the Parramatta River at Sydney’s heart," Wainwright says.

"Sanctuary also provides extensive public open space and a range of facilities, which is a major drawcard."

Muse Potts Point, the rare new apartment development in the <a href="/developments/potts-point-nsw-2011">harbourside suburb</a>, has kicked off its construction.

Developer <a href="/developers/thirdi-group">Third.i</a> and acquisition partner Toohey Miller have officially broken ground on the <a href="/new-apartments/muse-potts-point-30-34-brougham-street-potts-point">WMK Architecture-designed building</a> that comprises just 13 one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

The apartments, with interiors crafted by Mathieson Architects, offer terraces with extensive views of the harbour and city skyline. The views are best captured from the communal resident rooftop which features a swimming pool and seating areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112613 project_image_fid=231686]

Dilcara has been appointed to deliver Muse Potts Point, with construction anticipated to complete by early 2026. Third.i and Dilcare have been working together for 15 years. Their joint project portfolio includes recent developments such as Third.i’s Botany Road project in Waterloo, Soho in Surry Hills, Cavallo in Kensington, and most recently the new Third.i head office in Crows Nest.

Muse is set to play a pivotal role in transforming Brougham Street, adding to a total of 35 new boutique apartments planned across approved and proposed developments.

Recent sales data shows that apartments on Brougham Street, both new and second-hand, currently average around $45,000 per square metre. In comparison, properties on Victoria Street average $70,000 per square metre, while those on Macleay Street/Darlinghurst Road range from $62,000 to $80,000 per square metre.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112613 project_image_fid=231687]

Luke Berry, Third.i. Co-Founder, said&nbsp;Muse Potts Point is set to redefine urban living with its "exceptional design and breathtaking views."

"We are excited to enhance the area’s iconic landscape and offer a unique lifestyle experience, blending sophistication with the dynamic spirit of Muse’s surroundings," Berry said.

"We are thrilled to embark on this groundbreaking journey and we can't wait to bring this project to fruition."

Based on recent data, Eastern Sydney suburbs, including Potts Point, continue to attract local buyers seeking premium properties in heritage locations with access to a variety of lifestyle amenities. Demand remains steady among prestige downsizers seeking their next home in Sydney’s East, with Potts Point gaining popularity due to its growth potential and local cultural offerings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112613 project_image_fid=231690]

Berry emphasised the current opportunity for buyers to invest in Potts Point.

“Now is the time to invest in Potts Point," Berry added.

"With ongoing regeneration and community upgrades, property values are expected to rise. Sales are increasing on popular streets like Victoria and Macleay, while Brougham Street properties are priced at about a third to half the cost per square metre.

"Muse Potts Point offers access to the area's lifestyle at a lower price, with additional rooftop views. High interest in premium properties makes this a unique opportunity to enjoy Potts Point’s exceptional offerings at an attractive value.”

Muse Potts Point is set to complete in March 2026 and welcome residents shortly after.

The Centennial Collection by Stargate Property has continued to break records for Bondi Junction.

The luxury development is resetting the record books again, with a three-bedroom apartment being picked up for $8.55 million, the highest price achieved for a three-bedroom apartment in the suburb.

Ray White Projects Director, Marcello Bo, said local rightsizers continue to show strong interest in the project with generous layouts and amazing interiors.

“Uninterrupted views of the harbour and city skyline is a big drawcard for buyers, along with the proximity to Woollahra, <a href="/developments/bondi-junction-nsw-2022">Bondi Junction</a> and Centennial Park across the road.”

“The Centennial Collection finishes are extremely luxurious. There’s a winter pool and a year-round rooftop pool, a concierge and wellness hub; it really is a luxury experience.”

Bo said the apartments had been consistently achieving record prices for the area since the project was launched.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136076 project_image_fid=212615]

On the fringe of Centennial Park,&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/the-centennial-collection-east-sydney-2-nelson-street-bondi-junction">The Centennial Collection</a>&nbsp;comprises just 73 one, two and three-bedroom apartments across two 10-level buildings designed by SJB.

The first release of the apartments last year were snapped up in a matter of weeks, part due to the architectural designs by SJB, part due to the rarity of a new project so close to the convenience of Bondi Junction, the beauty of Centennial Park, and the vibrancy of Woollahra's Queen Street.

Communal facilities in the building will include a rooftop pool with outdoor dining and entertaining spaces as well as an indoor ‘winter’ pool. There's also a concierge, cold and dry goods delivery rooms and a wellness hub including a cardio and personal training area. The building will also have EV charging stations and storage for all residences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136076 project_image_fid=212622]

<a href="/project-marketer/ray-white-projects">Ray White Projects</a>&nbsp;Managing Partner, Eddie Mansour, said with construction well underway, buyers are becoming increasingly interested in the building.

“Stargate Property Group are one of the leading developers and builders in Sydney’s East and has created a genuine legacy, having built over 20 projects in the local area.

“Locals are transitioning out of big traditional family homes, to a spacious residence that they can lock up and leave.

“Buyers are wanting a lifestyle change and are becoming more fluid in where they want to live. With construction well underway, buyers can plan out their relocation and lifestyle change in advance. It gives them time to prepare their family home for sale and to align it with the completion of The Centennial Collection.”

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=136076]

One of the key measures to be implemented by UPG to safeguard buyer interests is the application of <a href="/news/resilience-latent-defects-insurance">10-year Latent Defects Insurance</a> (LDI), supplied through Resilience Insurance, offering additional protection against unforeseen construction defects for 10 years from the date of purchase.

Urban Property Group has retrospectively applied this significant consumer protection for all future and existing buyers of The Waterfront, where originally there was none, and is employing stringent quality assurance measures to ensure timely completion of the construction phases. This proactive approach underscores Urban's reputation as a trustworthy partner for consumers.&nbsp;

Urban Property Group Sales Director, Tom McIvor, says it is pleasing to see such enormous interest in the project on the Central Coast.

"The Waterfront represents the pinnacle of design and lifestyle, and Urban Property Group is proud to be delivering homes that offer contemporary coastal living," McIvor says,.

"Central Coast Quarter’s retail offering will further enhance this experience, providing residents with convenient access to an array of dining options at their doorstep. We are excited to create a vibrant new community in Gosford and &nbsp;The Waterfront offers buyers the opportunity to be among the first to join this new precinct.”&nbsp;

TWT Property Group has secured over $30 million worth of sales at the first release of its new Crows Nest masterplanned community, The Collective.

Locals drove demand for the first release of just 25 apartments, with 60 per cent of them snapped up on the opening weekend.

<a href="/project-marketer/belle-property">Belle Property</a>&nbsp;International's Murray Wood said younger couples and downsizer owner-occupiers were among the first buyers.

"The enthusiasm we’ve seen on day one confirms that there’s a real appetite for boutique-style residences in this area," Wood said.

"Buyers are very keen to secure a foothold in <a href="/developments/crows-nest-nsw-2065">Crows Nest</a>, especially given the new Metro station's convenience. The market is showing resilience, and these sales reflect strong confidence in premium, well-connected developments like <a href="/new-apartments/the-collective-crows-nest-23-35-atchison-st-crows-nest">The Collective</a>."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94318 project_image_fid=293323]

Prices for the one-bedroom apartments start from $935,000, with two-beds from $1.48 million and three-bedrooms from $2.3 million. The exclusive four-bedroom apartment start at $3.05 million.

The larger two and three-bedroom residences have been the most sought after, particularly by owner-occupiers seeking generously proportioned, well-designed spaces, Wood added.

"The lifestyle-oriented location, combined with a two-year completion horizon, is giving families time to plan their moves."

The newly operational Crows Nest Metro station has been a clear drawcard for buyers, with several purchasers highlighting the Metro as a ‘game-changer’ for their next property move.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94318 project_image_fid=294220]

Gavin Zhang, General Manager of <a href="/developers/twt-property-group">TWT Property Group</a>, said after 10 years of planning and development, it was "fantastic to see such strong interest in The Collective."

"We’ve been confident that this project would be a great addition to the neighbourhood, and the results speak for themselves," Zhang says.

"The broader vision for this development is not just about creating high-quality residences, but also fostering a community-focused, arts-inspired precinct that will be a landmark for years to come."

The first stage of the masterplan will feature 3,000 sqm of commercial space, part of the 10,000 sqm of commercial space that will be on offer across the total 1.3-hectare development.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94318 project_image_fid=293333]

Wood suggested the&nbsp;outlook for The Collective and the surrounding area remains optimistic.

“With escalating land values in Crows Nest and limited new supply, we would expect The Collective to perform well in the long term,”&nbsp;he said.

"We’ve provided detailed, local sales evidence that clearly shows The Collective is well-placed in terms of value. I even told one buyer, ‘If you find another property in this location, with this level of quality and pricing, I’ll buy it myself!’ That’s how confident we are."

While The Collective is technically within <a href="/developments/st-leonards-nsw-2065">St Leonards</a>, its location on the northern side of the Pacific Highway places it closer to the established, thriving hubs of Crows Nest and Naremburn.

<a href="/architects/team2-architects">Team2</a> and <a href="/interior-designers/dbi">DBI</a>&nbsp;are the architectural and interior design team behind the project, while artist&nbsp;Mel O’Callaghan,&nbsp;globally known for her large-scale vibrant artworks, has created a 22-metre piece titled 'Vertical Flow’ that will sit within the façade of the building.

<a href="/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> has commenced construction on its latest project, Marquet &amp; Mary in Rhodes, with a traditional sod-turn and blessing event attended by key project partners.&nbsp;

The event marked the beginning of a significant development that will see the construction of a 42-level tower comprising 274 apartments, with a portion designated as affordable housing for essential workers.

<a href="/new-apartments/marquet-mary-rhodes-1-9-marquet-street-rhodes-nsw-2138">Marquet &amp; Mary</a>, located at the corner of Marquet and Mary streets, has been designed by <a href="/architects/fk-australia">Fender Katsalidis</a>&nbsp;who won a&nbsp;design excellence competition to take the artchitectural reins.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141515 project_image_fid=287865]

The building will serve as a new landmark in the <a href="/developments/rhodes-nsw-2138">Rhodes</a> town centre, with its design emphasising elegant internal apartment planning, a tripartite vertical rhythm on the facade, and a human-scaled design for the podium.

The tower will offer one, two, and three-bedroom apartments with views ranging from the Sydney skyline to the east to the Blue Mountains in the west.&nbsp;

In addition to residential spaces, the development will feature a four-level podium with commercial and retail spaces, along with a rooftop terrace, a courtyard garden, and a new public plaza at the southern entrance.&nbsp;

The project is strategically located within walking distance of Rhodes Train Station and is directly connected to Rhodes Central shopping centre.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141515 project_image_fid=287864]

<a href="/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> Chairman, Fouad Deiri OAM, highlighted the importance of collaboration in delivering projects of this scale and recognized the contributions of everyone involved in the project so far.&nbsp;

The Marquet &amp; Mary development is part of a larger effort by Deicorp, which currently has 3,200 apartments under construction across Sydney, to provide the homes and communities needed in the area.

The development's swift approval by Canada Bay City Council and the record-setting sales achievements underscore the project's significance in the region.&nbsp;

An 87 sqm two-bedroom apartment on the 30th level recently set a suburb record by selling for $1.72 million, driven by Deicorp’s reputation and the impressive views offered by the property.

Development giant ALAND has stepped in to complete the construction of the final three buildings in Toplace's besieged Castle Hill apartment development, Skyview.

Two buildings in the five-building development at 51-53 Old Castle Road have been completed. The third is around 80 per cent complete, while buildings four and five are yet to come out of the ground, but the basement levels have been dug. <a href="/developers/aland">ALAND</a> will be rectifying any potential defects in the existing shared basement.

ALAND has been appointed following a comprehensive process by receivers KordaMentha to determine the pathway for the completion of the development. ALAND will now work closely with the Building Commission NSW to complete the construction of the Castle Hill complex.

ALAND Founder and Owner Andrew Hrsto says ALAND has a strong record of turning around challenging projects and transforming them into award-winning residential complexes in sought-after suburbs.

“ALAND maintains an end-to-end capability that uniquely positions us to take on these types of projects,” he said.&nbsp;

“Both KordaMentha and the Building Commission NSW clearly recognise our strong reputation, the quality of our product and our expertise and we are excited to drive this entire complex to completion.”

The complete development will provide a total of 964 apartments housing 2500 people, making a significant impact on the Sydney housing crisis.

Upon completion, buildings C, D and E at Castle Hill will be offered as build-to-rent homes and will dramatically increase rental property availability in North West Sydney with 532 apartments providing much-needed rental housing for 1500 residents.

ALAND has a long history, completing 100 per cent of projects for more than 20 years.

The company has recently been awarded an iCIRT Gold rating following a rigorous and independent review process to determine its capability, capacity and commitment. &nbsp;

AYA Penthouse, the largest single-level apartment in Bondi Beach, has just been sold for around $22 million, just a few weeks before its completion.

The four-bedroom, 353 sqm penthouse designed by world-renowned architect Koichi Takada, was sold by Eddie Mansour of Ray White Projects and Jeremy Wiesner of Wiesner Property, with Mansour saying the sale represents the highest price achieved for a&nbsp;non-beachfront facing apartment.

Wiesner said every square metre of the penthouse "goes above and beyond."

"The indoor/outdoor living areas, enhanced by Takada’s signature touches, were a major drawcard for buyers."

<img alt="" data-bit="iit" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="260" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdMv79gUyZ7n3JPiNgqgarE5g2M5exVS9VMG8tiAtFTH3W5x_g7pIekB1MCek1wYczR7tED6nj5x1t46mhGJ7kd6BGwK5S2cdSurjx7gY-U8tOowflzyiRsHgpRDd2cmk66OOFNqaGtIJ70gNnVQIR6i68F?key=MYjsndFdB7Y58ALwjMF-Xg" tabindex="0" width="602" />

The AYA Penthouse sits atop Aqualine, a boutique block of just 12 apartments at 45 Hall Street, developed by Moshav Financial.

Tal Silberman, group managing director of Moshav, said that he was incredibly proud of their group’s development, setting a new benchmark for luxury property.

“AYA Penthouse epitomises coastal luxury with its iconic location and innovative design,"&nbsp;Silberman said.

"This record-breaking sale is testament to the desirability of Bondi Beach and the appetite for truly magnificent design."

Buyers agent Will Roberts from Alsaker negotiated the sale on behalf of the Eastern Suburbs buyer.

Construction firm Lord Group is currently completing the final stages of the development.

The tranformation of Crows Nest as one of the go-to suburbs on the Lower North Shore, is set to continue.

Leading property developer Third.i Group and joint venture partner Phoenix Property Investors have announced the launch of the first stage of Hume Place, its new four-building development above the recently opened Crows Nest Metro station.

The first stage of the development, <a href="/new-apartments/elevate-hume-place-crows-nest-25-hume-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Elevate at Hume Place</a>, will offer 130 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments designed by the&nbsp;internationally acclaimed architecture firm Woods Bagot.

<a href="/developments/crows-nest-nsw-2065">Crows Nest</a> has become one of the most connected suburbs in the Lower North Shore. Residents of Elevate couldn't be closer to the quiet, underground metro, which will take them to the CBD in just seven minutes, and to Chatswood in four.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142550 project_image_fid=297877]

Woods Bagot handled both the exterior architecture and interior design of Elevate Hume Place, an apartment development that will cater to a variety of purchasers from first time owners and/or investors to downsizers and right sizers wanting to be close to the Crows Nest Village and all this has to offer in terms of lifestyle and amenity and importantly benefit from the long term value that the Metro stations will bring to property owners.

A recent global study of the impacts that Metro stations have on residential property ‘on’ or ‘directly next’ to metro stations show that properties can demand premiums ranging from 20 per cent to 30 per cent higher in value than neighbouring properties.

Importantly for&nbsp;investors, a metro can help secure 15 per cent to 20 per cent premiums in rents compared to similar properties in the area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142550 project_image_fid=297878]

Third.i Co-Founder and Director, Luke Berry, said Elevate at Hume Place is set to redefine urban living in this part of Sydney.

"It's not only going to offer some of the best apartments ever released, Elevate is also a one-of-a-kind development in terms of the value the Metro will bring long term to its owners.

"There are plenty of projects claiming close links to the Crow’s Nest Metro, but there is only one project getting built above it all. Having Elevate built directly over the station is why this project will outperform any other local projects in the future”.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142550 project_image_fid=298039]

Third.i has appointed JLL Residential Project Sales as the project marketer and sales partner for Elevate.

Luke Billiau, Head of Capital Markets – Australia and New Zealand at JLL, said Elevate represents the future of integrated transport-oriented development.

"We're confident it will attract significant interest from both local and international buyers," Billiau said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110379 project_image_fid=198680]

The location of Audrey, in the emerging&nbsp;<a href="/developments/st-leonards-nsw-2065">St Leonards</a>&nbsp;South precinct, places residents within easy reach of Newlands Park, shopping destinations, cafes, restaurants, and major transport links, including St Leonards Train Station and the upcoming Crows Nest Metro.&nbsp;

Audrey will home a total of 102 apartments, with local architecture group <a href="/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a> handling the architecture.

Construction of Audrey kicked off just over 12 months ago, and buyers are expected to move in in mid-2025.
