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

Abadeen unveils signature penthouse at Park Residences in Cremorne

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

Dalcott targets owner-occupiers with South Brisbane debut Marrone

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

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

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

ODUS releases $18 million penthouse crowning La Mer Main Beach

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

Sydney off the plan apartments

Lendlease&nbsp;has confirmed to its shareholders that it will again team up with&nbsp;Mitsubishi Estate Asia on a new development in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.

The much-publicised site at 1 Darling Point Road had been owned by international development company Anka Property, who for years had&nbsp;been in discussion with the Woollahra Council for the 1,748 sqm site opposite the Edgecliff Centre and Edgecliff Station.

Despite initially being refused by the council back in 2021, they backflipped on the design earlier this year, paving the way for the tower which is nearly four times the area height limited.

Anka then decided to sell the 1,700 sqm site, on the corner of New South Head Road and Darling Point Road.&nbsp;<a href="/developers/lendlease-development">Lendlease</a> and&nbsp;Mitsubishi Estate Asia is now planning a&nbsp;mixed-use, residential-led scheme with associated amenities and commercial and retail spaces, subject to planning approval. Anka had planned a 12-level building with around 40 apartments.

<img alt="Darling Point" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2b7c41d4-3b7b-4cf2-8100-e94d25637f13" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-08-22%20at%2011.24.27%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=T_YTjahY9OLlek8EvfkfjTUkoQudWOAl" />

The 50/50 joint venture marks the sixth project <a href="/developers/lendlease-development">Lendlease</a> and Mitsubishi Estate Asia&nbsp;have undertaken together. Previous ventures include <a href="/new-apartments/one-sydney-harbour-6-watermans-quay-barangaroo">One Sydney Harbour</a>, <a href="/new-apartments/one-circular-quay-1-alfred-street-sydney">One Circular Quay</a>, Sydney Place, and <a href="/buildings/east-tower-melbourne-quarter-628-flinders-street-docklands">Melbourne Quarter’s East Tower</a>.&nbsp;

Construction is earmarked to start on the development in 2026.

Tom Mackellar, CEO of Development Lendlease, said the&nbsp;acquisition supports the strategic growth of their development pipeline in Australia.

“We look forward to working alongside our trusted development partner, Mitsubishi Estate Asia, to deliver high-quality housing to this highly connected and sought-after neighbourhood in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.”&nbsp;

Head of Australia, Mitsubishi Estate Asia Head of Australia,&nbsp;Yuzo Nishiyama, said the&nbsp;highly strategic investment that Mitsubishi Estate Asia has made with Lendlease will capitalise and extend on the strong success they have shared together in Sydney’s luxury residential market. &nbsp;

It also reinforces our commitment to do more with our partners in sectors that deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns for our Australian business. We look forward to making more investments in Australia’s residential market to help address the prevailing supply shortage.”

Lendlease and Mitsubishi Estate Asia confirm new Darling Point apartment development

TWT Property Group has been quietly expanding its prime Atchison Street holding in St Leonards for several years, with the goal of creating a suburb-defining precinct.

Now the developer, known for its luxury projects across Sydney, has released the first set of apartments in the arts-focussed community.

The first stage will introduce 93 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments on the cusp of Crows Nest Village, a short walk from Crows Nest Metro which will no doubt draw buyers who want easy access to the city.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94318 project_image_fid=293323]

The curved, 16-level building features interiors by&nbsp;<a href="/architects/dbi">DBI</a>&nbsp;who has created an interior scheme that is focused on creating functional living spaces, like the inclusion of study nooks and protected balconies.

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=293323]

"Art inspires and excites," TWT says.

"It enriches our buildings and the lives of those who live in them.

“In our buildings, in our architecture, and within our precincts, we always bring artistic expression and tangible artistic components to our work."

TWT Property Group has already appointed Westbourne Constructions to build the first stage of The Collective. Construction is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2024.

TWT kicks off new Crows Nest precinct, The Collective, with first apartments released

Sekisui House&nbsp;Australia has revealed plans for its final stage of its successful Norwest masterplanned community, The Orchards.

The fifth and final stage, to be decided by the Sydney Central City Planning Panel, will bring the final 209 apartments to the 8.1-hectare precinct at 104 Fairway Drive, strategically located on the edge of the new Norwest Business Park and the Castle Hill Country Club.

The application is for three more buildings, to add to the 1,100 residences either already delivered or under construction. A 12-level and nine-level building, designed by <a href="/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>, will home the apartments, while the third building will feature the communal amenity.

The design draws inspiration from natural forms, with the primary building mass resembling an eroded stone structure, featuring apertures and openings that optimise daylight, views, and connectivity with the surrounding landscape.

<img alt="Sekisui Final Stage of The Orchards" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ee73e473-eb26-42d6-ae03-aaa901f14eb7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/The%20Orchards%20Stage%205%20pers%20a.png?VersionId=HXEeR5mpLwTcGsNM7YF7JgMdNSadV7Su" />

The unit designs within the development vary to maximise the benefits of the site’s unique context. The western tower apartments are designed to capture northern sunlight while minimising exposure to the western sun, thanks to the strategic placement of balconies.&nbsp;

The breezeway units offer natural ventilation and northern aspect views, while the palace units are designed with two-bedroom wings and a large central living area that opens out towards the creek to take in the northeastern views.

&nbsp;

<img alt="Sekisui Fifth Stage of The Orchards" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3031dcff-23cc-4a97-a170-c3617152db76" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/The%20Orchards%20Stage%205%20pers.png?VersionId=jvvRD714M3DvSuq83dfF_167LCYVRX0K" />

As the westernmost marker within The Orchards, the proposed buildings are designed to create a gateway element that reflects the thematic principles of the broader master plan.&nbsp;

Residents will have access to a ground floor communal courtyard, characterised by expansive lawns that allow for flexible use to accommodate large groups and smaller gatherings.&nbsp;

A communal lagoon pool with dining facilities will enhance the amenities available to residents of the precinct.

Sustainability is also a key consideration in the development, with measures including electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the basement, bioswales within the landscaped area, photovoltaic panels on the roof, and the retention of existing trees.

Listed developer Lendlease has unveiled Australia’s most opulent hotel-style amenities at its highly anticipated, once-in-a-generation residential development <a href="/new-apartments/one-sydney-harbour-6-watermans-quay-barangaroo">One Sydney Harbour</a>&nbsp;in Barangaroo.

Beyond simple shared residential amenities, One Sydney Harbour’s three towers combine exclusive residents’ wellness and social spaces with private retreats and experiences befitting one of Sydney’s most coveted addresses.

&nbsp;

<a href="/developers/lendlease-development">Lendlease</a> has partnered with architect Renzo Piano (Renzo Piano Building Workshop) and interior architect Daniel Goldberg (State of Craft) to create The Club, which features sophisticated health and wellness spaces, indoor and outdoor pools, social terraces, and private rooms to entertain.

&nbsp;

<img alt="One Sydney Harbour gymnasium" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b606237e-7761-49bb-be34-ff50387873bf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/unnamed%20%283%29_0.jpg?VersionId=3Fkg9GYWRrRoATN2k.sPU9Blc8C90RAc" />

The Club is made up of six distinct zones incorporating The Pool House, The Garden Terrace, The Sanctuary, The Pool Deck, The Club House and The Sky Terrace, each with their own distinct amenities.

Inspired by the Blue Mountains’ lush vegetation and private rock pools, The Pool House is awash in deep green marble to create a temple-like space that seems almost carved from crystalline green rock.

Daniel Goldberg of State Craft says research shows that different colours can evoke different psychological and physiological responses, which can influence our overall wellness.

“We chose this shade of green for The Pool House for its ability to promote a sense of balance and harmony. It symbolises nature and growth, is soothing on the eyes and can help reduce anxiety and stress.”

Illuminated from within and set amid a glazed façade that runs along three sides overlooking Hickson Park, the crystal-clear water creates the illusion of swimming in nature. Classic columns, ceiling blades and statement artwork heighten the sense of grandeur while palm fronds, cane and linen furniture create a tropical oasis.

Residents can access The Spa, The Sauna and The Steam Room directly from The Pool House via a natural stone clad freestanding wall.

<img alt="One Sydney Harbour spa" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c9d9d36f-6181-413e-9e46-0102cc560137" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/unnamed%20%282%29_1.jpg?VersionId=ZCdk8JqE0N6AFAGacAHz3r8_Nsrp5ljH" />

One Sydney Harbour’s Outdoor Garden Terrace on Level 2 is a private garden conceived by Renzo Piano as a space where residents can relax and find respite from the busy CBD. Visible from the apartments above, it overlooks Watermans Cove and features impressive views across the harbour towards Balmain and Pyrmont framed by a lush mix of native and exotic plantings that link it with the surrounding terraces and podiums.

The Sanctuary is an open-plan temple to self-care. It features high-energy workout spaces, two wellness rooms, for treatments and massages, and a multi-functional studio realised in light timber and subtle, integrated lighting for yoga and pilates classes, complete with equipment. A separate area for beauty treatments, hair and makeup means residents can book their self-care treatments close to home.

The Renzo Piano-designed Pool Deck is a tranquil space surrounded by foliage with uninterrupted views over Waterman’s Cove. Complete with rows of sun loungers a la the French Riviera or straight out of a Hollywood movie, it promises to be one of Sydney’s most chic places to soak up Sydney’s glorious rays.

The Sky Terrace is inspired by a Mediterranean olive grove conceptualised by Renzo Piano Building Workshop as a breakout space high above the harbour, where residents can enjoy BBQs and entertain against a backdrop of stunning CBD views.

In addition to One Sydney Harbour’s health and wellness amenities, many opportunities exist for entertaining in 'The Club’. The Orangery is inspired by European 18th-century greenhouses with a stone floor, rattan-lined ceiling, and adjoining veranda.

Three linked spaces; The Billiards Room, The Wine Gallery and The Blue Room, are serviced by a commercial kitchen nearby simply dubbed The Kitchen.

The Billiards Room has a central pool table that converts to a table for cocktails with a custom lid.

<img alt="One Sydney Harbour wine room" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="034cda01-2a7d-40be-8bbc-5d9c3a11d183" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/unnamed%20%281%29_1.jpg?VersionId=tnKrorWmTQ9nbKYVcotfKN82NSC3hwbr" />

Next door is The Wine Gallery that features extensive copper and native Australian timber. The Blue Room is a more intimate private dining space with a feature blue leather-clad wall for wine tastings and entertaining for up to 10 guests.

One Sydney Harbour’s tallest tower, Residences One, is now complete with first residents moving in. Residences Two and Waterman’s Residences will be complete this year.

Lendlease unveil next level health and wellness amenities at One Sydney Harbour, Barangaroo

As Fortis prepares to take the wraps of its new Rose Bay apartment project Atlas, the luxury apartment developer is plotting another in the same suburb.

Earlier this year <a href="/developers/fortis">Fortis</a>, the development arm of financier and investment manager Pallas Group, snapped up a prime <a href="/new-apartments/10-12-ian-street-rose-bay">double site on Ian Street</a>, just two rows back from <a href="/developments/rose-bay-nsw-2029">Rose Bay</a> Beach.

They're planning a $16.5 million development, continuing their push into supplying new apartments to downsizers in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. There is just one two-bedroom apartment planned and 11 three-bedroom apartments across the low-rise, five-level building designed by <a href="/architects/mhn-design-union">MHN Design Union</a>.

<img alt="Rose Bay" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="150ea1c8-2dee-4ef6-a19b-ae6144d2bff1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-08-19%20at%2010.07.53%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=CmFYfY66JlU5Si1O7sL2At2deQgcLIFW" />

Dickson Rothschild prepared an Urban Design Study for the sloping 2,038 sqm site that is a short walk from the beach, the Rose Bay Ferry Wharf, and Rose Bay village.

&nbsp;

They said the&nbsp;predominant pattern of development in this residential area book ended by New South Head Road and Old South Head Road is a transition from lower density single dwellings to medium density residential flat buildings.

"The report demonstrates that given the site’s accessible location and both the existing and emerging pattern of development in the area, that a residential flat building is appropriate for the site.

"The design of the building has responded to the site orientation, context and topography to provide generally north-west facing units, which maximise amenity to balconies and living/dining spaces, as well as views. The proposed development is considered consistent with the desired future character of the area and is supported from an urban design perspective."

The three-bedroom apartments start from 130 sqm of internal space and range in size up to 202 sqm, not including the balcony that opens off the open plan kitchen, living and dining area. The roofop penthouse features a significant rooftop terrace with outdoor kitchen.

&nbsp;

Historically, Melrose Park was an industrial and pharmaceutical manufacturing hub.

Today, the 55-hectare area is undergoing a major urban renewal. The vision for the new Melrose Park is taking shape, with recent plans outlining what the suburb will look like a decade from now.

Redevelopment planning for Melrose Park began in 2016, and the area was rezoned in 2022 following the council’s endorsement of the <a href="/new-townhouses/parramatta-nsw">Parramatta</a> Employment Lands Strategy.

Deicorp, in partnership with PAYCE, has recently launched the first tranche of apartments within their extensive landholding.

<a href="/new-apartments/melrose-central-melrose-park-33-hope-street-melrose-park-nsw-2114">Melrose Central</a>, designed by <a href="/architects/turner-studio">Turner Studio</a>, will consist of six buildings atop a five-level podium. This development will include a 30,000 sqm shopping centre anchored by a Coles supermarket, along with several specialty stores, health and wellness facilities, and various retail and hospitality venues.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134220 project_image_fid=289879]

Sekisui House Australia has $5 billion committed to redeveloping Melrose Park.

This year, they submitted plans for stages five and six of their master plan, which will ultimately add 5,500 homes to Melrose Park.

In addition, they are developing Melrose Park Village, featuring business workspaces, wellness facilities, and a large internal private park.

Last month, Holdmark unveiled its plans for what is being called Melrose Park South. They have filed a State Significant Development Application for 82 Hughes Avenue, Ermington, which will introduce over 1,300 apartments on a 5.2-hectare site.

This proposal is part of a broader renewal strategy for the <a href="/developments/melrose-park-nsw-2114">Melrose Park</a> area, which has been designated as a key growth precinct within the Parramatta local government area.

<img alt="Melrose Park" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6baab0a2-18bc-4d50-8cdf-568be200067c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-08-15%20at%208.20.01%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=QQRw6v5WdIxq4EPKIJa8SfByq2veGDtY" />

At least 15 percent of the 1,377 proposed apartments will be allocated for affordable housing, which amounts to just over 200 units. Of the 1,377 apartments, 70 percent will have two bedrooms, 20 percent will be one-bedroom units, and 10 percent will have three bedrooms.

Holdmark has commissioned COX Architecture to design the project, which will also include a new waterfront park.

In their Urban Design Report, COX Architecture highlighted that transforming Sydney’s industrial precincts into new residential, retail, and commercial spaces reflects changes in Australia’s economy. This shift underscores the need for high-amenity residential developments to address Sydney’s housing demand.

"Land use needs in Sydney have evolved significantly, with many existing industrial areas no longer suitable or viable for industrial operations," COX Architecture noted.

"Melrose Park is one such area that has seen a decline in recent years due to the restructuring of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, which is increasingly relocating offshore or to larger industrial parks.

"As the industrial and pharmaceutical base shifts to alternative urban uses, Melrose Park’s location on the Parramatta River, halfway between the CBD and Parramatta, combined with the availability of large contiguous sites, makes it an ideal candidate for urban renewal."

<img alt="Cox" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e62be40c-06ab-4e82-aaa2-899c04081551" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-08-15%20at%208.11.52%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dqlcGbA38_VxX4XXLA0981cEd2AJKwne" />

COX Architecture stated that the introduction of a new light rail corridor, featuring three light rail stops providing direct service to Melrose Park, will significantly enhance movement and accessibility to and from the precinct.

The proposal will undergo review by a State Design Review Panel, as mandated by the Department of Planning, Housing, and Infrastructure.

There will be two separate State Significant Development Applications (SSDAs) submitted: one for Melrose Park West and another for Melrose Park East.

"Land use needs in Sydney have changed significantly over the years with many existing industrial areas no longer considered suitable or viable for continued industrial operations," COX Architecture said.

Melrose Park vision starts to take shape

Erskineville's Ashmore precinct is set for more apartments with five more buildings pitched for the area between Sydney Park and Erskineville Station.

The little known Brightwell Real Estate has submitted plans to the City of Sydney Council for a $124 development across&nbsp;7-19 Coulson Street, 5 Goddard Street, and 23 Eve Street. Together they add up to 7,747 sqm, in the south east corner of the Ashmore precinct that has seen development from Greenland and Coronation Property in recent years.

The precinct has been under development for the past decade and has become a well-established residential neighbourhood known for its vibrant community atmosphere, supported by various cafes, boutique shops, schools, and local markets.

As part of the ongoing development within the Ashmore precinct, Brightwell Real Estate’s project aims to contribute to the established high-quality residential neighbourhood, further enhancing the public domain and landscape character of the area.<img alt="Ashmore" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7d03cbe3-bde7-4444-a5f8-a185cac6d4bc" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-08-15%20at%207.23.13%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=XcqkOa5g_7DiRoYMPjUBg.IWgrWdXAgN" />

The proposed development will comprise 135 apartments, a mix of 35 one-bedroom, 81 two-bedroom, and 20 three-bedroom apartments.

In addition to the residential component, the proposal includes the adaptive reuse of an existing heritage item for commercial purposes, as well as indicative roads and public open space to serve the new community.

A competitive design process is yet to be held, however submissions so far have come from SJB and&nbsp;<a href="/architects/dko-architecture">DKO Architecture</a>.

The project will&nbsp;align with current environmental standards, targeting an ecologically sustainable footprint.&nbsp;It will meet the newly legislated BASIX benchmarks, incorporate a fossil-fuel-free design, and implement various sustainability initiatives, including biophilic design and Heat Island Mitigation measures.

Leading Sydney construction and development company <a href="/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a>&nbsp;has spent the last six weeks filing development applications across Sydney, totalling well over 1,500 apartments.

In July they submitted plans in Zetland and Five Dock for two precinct-style developments. Their latest proposal is in&nbsp;<a href="/developments/macquarie-park-nsw-2113">Macquarie Park</a>&nbsp;where they're planning a 17-level tower which will support&nbsp;the NSW Government’s vision to deliver more housing close to the Northwest Metro line. &nbsp;

Designed by the award-winning architectural practice <a href="/architects/dko-architecture">DKO</a>, the 180-apartment tower will include affordable housing and be located 300 metres from the Macquarie Park Metro rail station and Macquarie Park Shopping Centre. &nbsp;

Deicorp’s Chairman Fouad Deiri said delivering homes connected to key transport infrastructure like the Northwest Metro ensures convenience and value for our purchasers. &nbsp;

“Being able to provide housing that is affordable for essential workers in such a great location makes this project even more important.&nbsp;

“Building beautifully designed new apartments convenient to great amenities is how we are &nbsp;helping to respond to the urgent need for new homes.”&nbsp;

The application for the proposed redevelopment of 161 Herring Road and 13-15 Lachlan Avenue Macquarie Park, which will include a mix of one, two and three-bedroom units, has been lodged with the NSW Department of Planning as a State Significant Development. &nbsp;

The proposed development will include 27 affordable housing units that will be managed by a registered community housing provider. &nbsp;

The proposed building will include a rooftop garden and lookout space, upgrades to the surrounding streetscape and outdoor communal spaces. In addition to environmentally significant trees being retained on the site as part of the proposed development, a further 58 trees were planted on the site to provide more tree canopy coverage. &nbsp;

The planned development, which will include recycled water, onsite solar energy generation and energy efficient design, will aim for an industry-leading 7-star average rating under the &nbsp;Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS).&nbsp;

Deicorp submitted plans for two mixed-use precincts in July. The first application was in Zetland where they're proposing a nine-building precinct on a&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/130-joynton-avenue-zetland">2.86-hectare Joynton Avenue site</a>, the former AusGrid facility they secured two years ago.

There will be a total of 574 apartments at a cost of just over $300 million.

Akin to its other&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/zetland-nsw-2017">Zetland apartment</a>&nbsp;development Downtown, the new development, dubbed Joynton Square in the planning documents, will have extensive retail at street level.

The Castle Hill off the plan apartment market has been running hot for several years, since the announcement of the Sydney Metro expansion and the $3 billion redevelopment of the Hills Showground Station Precinct.

However new apartment opportunities in the colloquial centre of the Hills District have been few and far between in the last 12 to 18 months.

Developer <a href="/developers/cpdm">CPDM</a>&nbsp;is the newest entrant into the Castle Hill market, revealing its newest development, Larool Crescent.

Marketed by Boston Buckler, <a href="/new-townhouses/larool-crescent-castle-hill-2-22-larool-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Larool Crescent</a>, named after its location near the rejuvenated Castle Towers shopping centre, presents a more boutique option for apartment seekers. There are 110 apartments and townhouses spread across four five-level buildings on its srpawling 8,000 sqm block.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135330 project_image_fid=289164]

The buildings have been designed by PTW to wrap around a central courtyard with extensive landscaping.

There will be one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments on offer, as well as a handful of large townhouses, a rarity in new developments in the area.

Boston Buckler Principal, Alex Walker, said the residences are&nbsp;"tailor-made for owner-occupiers," with designs catering to first home buyers, downsizers, and young families.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135330 project_image_fid=289121]

The interiors of Larool Crescent have been crafted by&nbsp;<a href="/interior-designers/coco-republic-interior-design">Coco Republic</a>, who have focused on combining form with function.&nbsp;

"There were certain elements that we put together to achieve warm and clean interiors for this project," Coco Rebuplic's Head of Interior Design, Diana Ribarevksi said.

"Things like the black accents, natural stone in the kitchen, beautiful tactile tiles throughout. All these elements add interest, but also a perfect base for people to bring their own style into the interiors."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135330 project_image_fid=289120]

CPDM Managing Director,&nbsp;Aarong Liu, said the goal is to create spacious living spaces that support and encourage the lifestyle of the Hills, while CPDM Senior Development and Project Manager, Ross Norton, said that the unique nature of the Castle Hill site required a distinctive architectural approach.&nbsp;

PTW Asia-Pacific was enlisted to handle the designs of Larool Crescent, which has been a decade in planning.

"The vibrant town centre, access to the new metro line, excellent retail environment, and abundant parks have all influenced the design of these new homes," PTW Asia Pacific Managing Director Simon Parsons said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135330 project_image_fid=289167]

Larool Crescent is strategically situated near Castle Hill's key amenities and attractions, offering residents convenient access to popular shopping destinations like Parklea Markets and Castle Towers, as well as a variety of acclaimed local restaurants.

CPDM has already appointed a builder ahead of construction, and the project includes Resilience Insurance's in demand Latent Defects Insurance which covers buyers in the event of any structural defects in the building for the first 10 years post-completion.

<a href="/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen Group</a>&nbsp;Chief Operating Officer Joe Tack said the regeneration of the Putney Wharf Residences precinct is an important restoration project for the community, having been&nbsp;disused and closed to the public for several decades.

"With such a rich history having been the home to Sydney’s most successful and prolific boat building business established in 1939 by the Halvorsen family, we feel a sense of pride in restoring, preserving and celebrating a significant piece of Sydney’s boating history.&nbsp;

"This is a unique opportunity to revitalise, restore and breathe new life into a significant waterfront parcel of land, delivering a premium lifestyle-oriented wharf precinct within which all of Sydney will want to live, dine, entertain and socialise, and we’re delighted to be partnering with PERIFA to bring this new precinct to life.”

With development approval now received, construction is due to commence imminently with the project expected to be completed by 2027.
