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

Abadeen unveils penthouse at Park Residences in Cremorne

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

Dalcott targets owner-occupiers with South Brisbane debut Marrone

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

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

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

ODUS releases $18 million penthouse crowning La Mer Main Beach

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

ALAND's Carson on the Park approaches completion 

Burgeoning Sydney developer Billbergia has unveiled updated plans for its Bennelong Cove project, the final stage of the award-winning 11-hectare master-planned community at Wentworth Point in Sydney’s inner-west.

After years of strategic planning, a two-stage international design competition and on-going community consultation, an updated scheme by FJC Studio has been submitted for public exhibition by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment.

Comprising two residential towers of 40 storeys, the proposed development will deliver around 900 apartments.

<img alt="Billbergia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5e83db48-5985-4b49-9cb8-531c88674e89" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-23%20at%209.45.50%20pm.png?VersionId=qpl6_THDlEsi80.1Sg4PbHqNawOzQGW6" />

The proposal also incorporates a waterfront promenade with amphitheatre, restaurants, cafes and a registered club and pub to activate the foreshore promenade with a major new park in the heart of the town centre. It’s accompanied by $70 million in new community and social infrastructure, under a Voluntary Planning Agreement submitted to City of Parramatta Council.

Subject to council approval, Billbergia has committed to new community infrastructure including a $36 million multi-purpose indoor sports and recreation centre, with outdoor courts, a 16,000 square metre park and foreshore promenade with picnic areas, play spaces and exercise areas, and a council-owned 90-place child care centre.

Billbergia has also committed to a second privately operated 90-place childcare centre and continued funding to operate the widely popular free Baylink shuttle bus service that connects residents to Rhodes station. Boasting more than 14,000 weekly passenger trips, the bus service has recently been upgraded to fully electric vehicles would operate under the agreement until the anticipated delivery of the Parramatta Light Rail in 2031.

<img alt="Billbergia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a4127586-f415-410c-bd25-2d74ba47d74a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-23%20at%209.45.15%20pm.png?VersionId=JwgRxH3LC3JN39L4rspY8ZbmLCdEfU2F" />

The new proposed scheme is based on feedback from both Council and the community.

Saul Moran, Development Director of Planning and Design at Billbergia, said they've collaborated with the architects and an independent design excellence jury to address feedback on the earlier scheme.

"As a result, residential buildings are set back further from the water and have been reduced in height - consistent with the nearby Sekisui Sanctuary development,” Moran says.

“Billbergia has been involved in the Wentworth Point community for more than 15 years. In that time we’ve seen the transformation of the suburb from an underutilised former industrial site in 2008, to the thriving residential community it is today.

"Bennelong Cove is the critical final stage that will see the entire waterfront promenade activated and provide enhanced community infrastructure alongside the delivery of critically-needed new housing supply."

<img alt="Billbergia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="56e7172b-fd27-488c-a040-45166316f401" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-23%20at%209.45.01%20pm.png?VersionId=RMO495ZXUt95_hBPUsSblWRj0OVfQswq" />

According to Moran, Billbergia has placed strong emphasis on place-making and resident amenity in addition to delivering the necessary infrastructure for the growing suburb.

“Community feedback has shown us that more social and sporting infrastructure is also high on residents’ wish lists, revealing the value they place on waterfront access. We see the delivery of an activated foreshore promenade with greater open space and new leisure facilities as critical to this,” Moran added.

Wentworth Point was first rezoned for residential use in 2004 and declared a Priority Precinct in 2014. During this time it has grown to an estimated population of 14,500 people.

<img alt="Billbergia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c2fab5b9-7f18-428c-b34f-7a2ebc15bff6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-23%20at%209.45.22%20pm.png?VersionId=Q3uioMnTwEdwCj50fQp.rAjxj5W6g655" />

The growing community has been supported by significant public and private sector investment in community infrastructure resulting in the delivery of a primary school with a high school currently under construction, as well as a community centre and a library facility. In addition to new transport infrastructure, a medical centre and a neighbourhood shopping centre have also been delivered for the Wentworth Point community.

The Liveability Index rated Wentworth Point’s community and employability among the highest of all suburbs.

“Wentworth Point is a nationally-awarded showcase in urban regeneration and transport-oriented development. Our growing community is diverse and engaged, living in an affordable lifestyle precinct with easy access to retail, dining, education, health, sporting, and public transport,” Moran said.

Buyers are now set to move into the SJB-designed by <a href="/buildings/147-153-kurraba-road-kurraba-point">Kurraba Road project</a>, which was built by Richard Crookes Construction.

There are two, three and four-bedroom apartments in the five-level building, which SJB Director Adam Haddow says will set&nbsp;new standards for&nbsp;<a href="/developments/kurraba-point-nsw-2089">harbourside living in Sydney</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13992 project_image_fid=240218]

“Embraced by foreshore gardens on all three sides, the architecture pays homage to classic 1920's apartment buildings that dominate the edges of the harbour. Sculpted in brick, the graceful building reaches out to the water like fingers on a hand,” Haddow said.&nbsp;

There's exclusive amenities and services reserved for residents, including a wine cellar room and dining area, a secure lock up garage with lift access, a concierge service, and a communal rooftop garden with BBQ facilities.

Residents are expected to move into Darlinghurst's much-anticipated <a href="/buildings/east-sydney-collection-22-38-yurong-street-darlinghurst">East Sydney Collection</a> development near Hyde Park.

Developed by HIGA and built by their in-house construction team, East Sydney Collection is&nbsp;a design collaboration between architecture studio MHNDU and interior designers lawless&amp;meyerson, comprising 27 homes with access to a panoramic rooftop and two ground floor commercial spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=84775 project_image_fid=149611]

The Art Deco facade of the building draws inspiration from various eras, blending nostalgic silhouettes with a less assuming architectural modernity through a sensitive restoration approach. The intentionally restrained exterior aesthetic provides respite from the bustling public realm outside.

<a href="/buildings/east-sydney-collection-22-38-yurong-street-darlinghurst">East Sydney Collection</a> comprises three residential models – East Sydney Residences, Stanley Lane Lofts, and Hyde Park Terraces. All three embrace sophisticated design and amenities, featuring premium floor finishes, V-Zug kitchen appliances, individual air-con units, and dedicated storage in the basement.

Marble, oak, and straight-planked timber floors in greyed-off European Oak characterise the one, two, and three-bedroom apartments in East Sydney Residences.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=84775 project_image_fid=149604]

Silver-grey slab marble creates luxurious kitchens and bathrooms, while high-quality pure wool loop pile carpets in the bedrooms add a warm and soft touch to the bedrooms.

Stanley Lane Lofts sports a classic black, grey and white palette for a timeless and established look.

Hard-wearing laminated polymer benchtops in tonal grey cement introduce a raw beauty to the kitchens, while high-performance, durable terrazzo floors add subtle interest and texture to the underlying neutral canvas.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=84775 project_image_fid=213261]

In the bedrooms, loft residents will find plush, meticulously crafted pure wool carpets in sophisticated charcoal tones underfoot.

The loft design uses the double-height spaces within the existing saw-tooth warehouse roof to create mezzanine areas and high-ceiling living spaces punctuated by classic steel-framed windows that draw in abundant light and air.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=84775 project_image_fid=149608]

Lastly, the premium offering of Hyde Park Terraces includes three stately, three-bedroom homes – The Walker, The Sandringham, and The Frazer. These homes seamlessly blend classic heritage and contemporary design, featuring herringbone parquetry floors in grey European Oak.

The interiors, designed for simplicity, incorporate beautiful marble finishes, soft sage palettes, and quality detailing.

A marble island with a built-in banquette creates a large dining table that seems to flow onto spacious living and courtyard spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=84775 project_image_fid=149607]

Thoughtful planning sees two living spaces at either end of each terrace home. This makes the most of natural light and allows real versatility in using these rooms.

Additionally, all residents have exclusive access to the expansive rooftop garden offering immediate views of Hyde Park, St Mary’s Cathedral and the CBD skyline.&nbsp;

<a href="/buildings/east-sydney-collection-22-38-yurong-street-darlinghurst">East Sydney Collection</a> is only 300 metres from Hyde Park and five minutes from the CBD.

Sekisui House Australia's The Orchards is set to be one of the most significant residential masterplanned developments in Sydney's Hills District.

The 8.1-hectare, $1.4 billion community in <a href="/new-apartments/norwest-nsw-2153">Norwest</a>&nbsp;will home 1,300 apartments when each of the five stages are complete.

The next stage to finish construction in the project is the third stage, <a href="/buildings/the-orchards-lumia-norwest-104-fairway-drive-norwest-nsw-2153">Lumia</a>. Designed by Turner Studio, <a href="/buildings/the-orchards-lumia-norwest-104-fairway-drive-norwest-nsw-2153">Lumia</a> comprises&nbsp;330 apartments in one to four-bedroom configurations. Within the range are multiple designs and layouts of apartment sizes for every demographic and design preference.

Many apartments feature additional flex space, optimising natural light and solar access to open-plan living areas and external spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111509 project_image_fid=191136]

Each apartment layout has been designed considering flow, how people live, how light moves throughout the day and the subtle movements of air and breeze through the seasons.&nbsp;

Residents can personalise their living space by choosing from two colour schemes. The light scheme incorporates a neutral palette with muted tones and complementary textures with stone, glass, metal and wood accents, while the dark scheme embraces a mix of warm and cool tones for a bold, contemporary aesthetic.

Recognising the importance of creating thriving, healthy and happy communities, the amenities at Lumia have been designed with enjoyment and enrichment in mind.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111509 project_image_fid=189525]

With a publicly accessible park transitioning through a landscaped podium to private open spaces, residents are constantly surrounded by lush planting and detailed landscaping.

A safe pedestrian and cycleway connects different precinct elements, providing active and passive spaces for residents to engage in various activities, from daily exercise to quiet relaxation.

The linear park, extending from the masterplan development to The Orchards and beyond, offers a convenient and shaded walk for families, picnickers, and hikers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111509 project_image_fid=189522]

The apartments are complemented by a landscaped communal courtyard garden, providing seating and views of the linear park. Other amenities in the development include a heated swimming pool, outdoor dining, and BBQ facilities.

The Orchards is strategically situated in the heart of <a href="/new-apartments/norwest-nsw-2153">Norwest</a> and just a 10-minute walk from the Sydney Metro.

Over 90 per cent of the apartments in <a href="/buildings/the-orchards-lumia-norwest-104-fairway-drive-norwest-nsw-2153">Lumia</a> have sold. Growthbuilt are expected to complete the building early next year.

<a href="/new-apartments/infinity-park-residential-7-maitland-place-norwest">Infinity Park Norwest</a> developer <a href="/developers/haitchin-group">Haitchin Group</a> has made the call to make the trio of apartment buildings pet friendly.

<a href="/developers/haitchin-group">Haitchin Group</a> General Manager Robert Tasevski said Australia is one of the biggest pet-owners, and particularly dog-owners, of any country in the world.

“So many apartment owners are looking for pet-friendly developments with their own landscaped gardens and parks within the precinct making it super convenient and safe to take your pet outside at any time of the day or night,” Tasevski said.

“They also want to live close to walking tracks or indeed dog-parks as well as grooming services and Vet services. At <a href="/new-apartments/infinity-park-residential-7-maitland-place-norwest">Infinity Park</a>, dog-owners will also be able to walk their beloved pooch around the stunning vistas of the neighbouring lake and championship golf course.

“It’s a pet-owner’s paradise.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94408 project_image_fid=214927]

The Hills Shire is known as “The Garden Shire” due to its natural environment and a rural area that forms a scenic, green backdrop to the urban area.

Overlooking the Castle Hill Country Club, Infinity Park will comprise 287 apartments across three residential buildings. The project consists of a 25-storey tower,&nbsp;Marque, along with two five-storey low rise buildings, Alpha&nbsp;and&nbsp;Omega, comprising the most premium two and three bedroom apartments in the precinct.

A seven-storey commercial tower,&nbsp;Infinity Commercial, is situated opposite the residential buildings and comprises 95 strata commercial suites including a 193 sqm signature rooftop <a href="/news/nsw/hatted-chef-joshua-mason-to-open-ciel-at-infinity-park-norwest-development">fine-dining restaurant by acclaimed hatted chef Joshua Mason</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94408 project_image_fid=214929]

Tasevski says the project has resonated with local downsizers who want to stay in the area.

“The larger style two and three bedroom apartments will cater to local downsizers looking for a stunning new home, close to all amenities including the Castle Hill Country Club as well as the Norwest Metro station, Norwest Shopping Centre and local schools.”

The residential buildings in Infinity Park will be developed around a resort-inspired, tropical lagoon-style swimming pool. The apartments are expected to be completed in mid-2025, with the&nbsp;commercial building completing earlier in April 2024.

Haitchin Group make Infinity Park Norwest apartments dog-friendly

The age old adage is that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

That's the case at <a href="/developers/central-element">Central Element</a> (CE), the family-ran apartment developer who are venturing into the "ultra-luxury" in some of Sydney's best suburbs.

In the last few months they've announced development approval for the redevelopment of the <a href="/news/nsw/central-element-green-lit-for-coogees-ballamac-house-apartment-redevelopment">1860s Ballamac House in Coogee</a>, and an architecturally significant building on Hyde Park, while they also secured an <a href="/news/nsw/central-element-secure-prized-bondi-beach-site-for-new-apartment-development">arguably unrepeatable site in Bondi Beach</a>.

The three developments are likely to set not only new benchmarks for the suburb, but also for CE.

<a href="/developers/central-element">Central Element</a> Managing Director Nathan Chivas says&nbsp;setting new benchmarks in property development has been in Central Element’s DNA for decades.

"It was something my father always did in his development days," Chivas says. "Since founding <a href="/developers/central-element">Central Element</a> in 2011, we've continued to evolve every year we've operated, and now we're moving into what we're calling the 'ultra-luxury phase'."

Chivas says they only want to develop in the best locations. But with that, you need to create an A-grade product.

“If you find a location and create A-grade product that matches that location, then you know you’ll have strong demand no matter where the property cycle is at,” Chivas says.

"In this end of the market, you really need to bring a story to life, whether it's through brining in heritage or other luxury design elements. Ultimately these types of developments need to be a cut above the rest. They need to be more than an apartment in a great location. The money demanded by these projects, and the buyers of the projects, demand nothing less. That extra layer of detailed design and amenity is warranted for locations like Coogee and Bondi."

<img alt="CE Bondi" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="369c8542-743e-4154-96f0-ac28e77553b2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/CE%20Bodi.png?VersionId=l0SrfrPwkbTmHiL2PXHeQWeimU7DNxoG" />The Sandridge &amp; Wilga St site in Bondi.

Chivas says the Hyde Park project at 271 Elizabeth Street will also be a step above what has ever been created in that area.

"They'll be some of the largest apartments Hyde Park has seen," Chivas says. "Not many other developments will be delivering house-like proportion residences like these. There's so little opportunity to build on Hyde Park, there's literally four streets, the majority of which is government-owned, so when you get that opportunity, you expect to never have one again in your lifetime, so you really have to push the boundaries to create something that will last."

It will suit those who want house-size city living, and demand for that kind of product far outstrips supply, Chivas says.

The mixed-use project, being developed in collaboration with equity partner MaxCap and the current landowner, will be designed by the renowned architects Murcutt&nbsp;<a href="/architects/candalepas-associates">Candalepas</a>&nbsp;and will home just 42 apartments across 14 levels, above&nbsp;hospitality spaces.

It will be the first time architecture legend&nbsp;Glenn Murcutt and Angelo&nbsp;<a href="/architects/candalepas-associates">Candalepas</a>&nbsp;will work together on a project for the&nbsp;<a href="/developments/sydney-nsw">City of Sydney</a>.

These high end products don't often require traditional marketing methods, Chivas says.

"It's not like a typical on market campaign, the nature of the product bring with it a level of discreetness," Chivas says. There's already a handful of prospective buyers lining up that want to be a part of the Bondi site, and the only information available is the address.

"It so tightly held around the Bondi area, especially Ben Buckler and around to Icebergs. Those areas will likely never be able to be unlocked. Finding new product in that area really is a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone, which is why we've already been fielding enquiry from those high-net-worth individuals."

The groups will be the first to receive the early ideas for the project, and in this scenario will be able to work with CE and their chosen architect to tailor them to their liking.

CE recently launched their luxury Drummoyne waterfront apartment development, Bianca Drummoyne, which quickly garnered attention as a rare harbourfront offering, the first waterfront project to be released in Drummoyne since 2020.

<img alt="Bianca" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a653f348-6300-4549-87fb-5a023a122d9b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-22%20at%2010.43.15%20am.png?VersionId=y47RwMWs0jhaOJIJeCT4wCuxAKRvVGZ7" />Bianca Drummoyne will have just 12 luxury apartments on the harbour. Image supplied

There's been the expected demand from Drummoyne locals, as well as the affluent Hunters Hill area who are looking to downsize to the water. He says there's also been those from other areas who are closer to the Sydney Harbour precinct.

"Because of the price point, there's been enquiry from those who see value compared to if the project was in Double Bay or Mosman. Drummoyne still represents that luxury harbour lifestyle, a private beach, north-facing apartments with a resident swimming pool on the harbour and a ferry 100 metres away, without the price point of some of those more celebrity suburbs."

Chivas says waterfront coastal sites are always going to be top tier, and will never not have that demand factor.

"There's definitely a high priority to find those properties."

While many developers would be happy to be in the position CE are in with a work book of completed projects and a strong pipeline heading into 2024, Chivas says there's still the appetite to secure the next opportunity, although he says it's becoming increasingly more difficult to buy in Sydney's premium waterfront suburbs.

"It so tightly held around the Bondi area, especially Ben Buckler and around to Icebergs. Those areas will likely never be able to be unlocked. Finding new product in that area really is a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone, which is why we've already been fielding enquiry from those high-net-worth individuals."

Chivas says sometimes there's no money in the world that would pry a family away from their land.

"All vendors have different ways of looking at things and expectations. They all have unique circumstances. Some are emotionally connected to their land parcels and want them to stay in the family name forever."

Chivas says there are some who have&nbsp;unrealistic expectations of what their land can be worth to a developer.

"Ultimately the land is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. But if it's a developer, and they want to create some sort of new development and come out of the other side higher than break even, then there's absolutely a ceiling as to how much the land is worth," Chivas says.

"There's always basic economics as to what you can achieve."

While not haven't to look much further than father Wayne for development inspiration, Chivas says he takes some learnings from Sydell Group, the hospitality and hotel operator famous for creating The Ned in London and the Park MGM in LAs Vegas.

"While they don't do residential development, they create these amazing stories in their developments where they've got the story telling factors, whether it's through celebrating heritage or hero-ing the location. It's definitely a brand we like and how they position themselves, their vision, delivery, and how they execute on a world class scale is certainly something we look to replicate.

"It's similar to what we do in a bit of a different way."

Chivas says he will be taking some inspiration from Sydell Group for their latest hospitality venture, the redevelopment of The Minerva in Potts Point, the iconic theatre which they're transofmring into a 63-key, five-star boutique hotel.

They were given the green light from the City of Sydney Council earlier this month.

Developer <a href="/developers/landmark-group">Landmark</a> has unveiled its newest apartment development, <a href="/new-apartments/the-macquarie-collection-5-halifax-street-macquarie-park">The Macquarie Collection in Macquarie Park</a>, a suburb is undergoing a full transformation led by some of the state's largest developers.

<a href="/developers/landmark-group">Landmark</a>, who have previously developed the 1300-apartment Lachlan's Line in <a href="/new-apartments/macquarie-park-nsw-2113">Macquarie Park</a>, have launched the first building of three buildings at <a href="/new-apartments/the-macquarie-collection-5-halifax-street-macquarie-park">5 Halifax Street</a>, near the North Ryde Metro Station.

It's the highest density tower of the three by a considerable margin, with 256 apartments across 28 levels. The other two towers are just six levels, with 28 and 16 apartments in each.

AJC Architects designed the buildings to foster a welcoming sense of community where generous communal space across the buildings blends indoor and outdoor life.

<img alt="Macquarie Park" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c6f29ea4-8b63-42a8-ac88-d00f24dfc035" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-21%20at%201.05.04%20pm.png?VersionId=vW35f0W5qn4UkIj.6tGqetTu_7B0drHm" />

On the sunny northeast corner, beautifully landscaped open space is the residents' own ‘urban backyard’, while the rooftops will take in panoramic views which set the scene for weekend barbecue lunches through Sydney’s long summers.&nbsp;

The beauty of the surroundings also extends to the indoors. Residents will come home to a space that’s light-filled and welcoming.

Each apartment has an understated interior palette in soft natural hues and was carefully planned to deliver a generous flow of indoor-outdoor living through large windows and balconies.&nbsp;

<img alt="The MAcquarie Collection" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="db9ff8e7-b51f-4057-958b-ecda0ebdea10" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-21%20at%2012.46.27%20pm_0.png?VersionId=x0WiCmSFCDBC36TjP1NXTZm4wje8jmAu" />

The climate-controlled apartments are designed to escape the Macquarie Park buzz, perfectly oriented to draw in breezes, sunlight and views.

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the streetscape and city views outside, while spacious balconies form natural extensions of the living areas.

Open-plan kitchens and eat-in islands invite people to gather, with timeless finishes blending into the living and dining areas.&nbsp;

<img alt="Macquarie Collective" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3f717a1e-afac-418f-bc6d-ed579a9f5f26" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-21%20at%2012.46.31%20pm.png?VersionId=Gs3YsQiJbVXwaRIHiK23PCl_2ofV5zrP" />

Bedrooms, bathrooms and ensuites are elegant and beautifully appointed with robust, high-quality, low-maintenance finishes with abundant essential storage throughout the spaces.

Landmark Group Director of Sales and Acquisitions Mark Meyer says Macquarie Park is a growing location.

"It's a great precinct, a very exciting corridor for growth," Meyer says.

So far there's been a real mix of demographics showing interest in The Macquarie Collection. Even some investors are starting to creep back into the market.

Macquarie Park is undergoing a huge transformation. Recently Urban Property Group launched La Vera, their first project in Macquarie Park, while TOGA also launched Macquarie Rise.

Landmark have an extensive workbook across the whole of Greater Sydney, from Dee Why in the north, to Caringbah in the south, and Blacktown in the west.

Meyer says as long the suburb has the key fundamentals of amenity and transport, then there's no reason to be dedicated to develop in one area.&nbsp;

"We're not working in new suburbs," Meyer says.

"These are established suburbs with all of the infrastructure already in place. It takes out the guess work of whether growth can occur in a suburb or not. As long as there's the fundamentals buyers look for, then growth comes hand in hand."

It comes nearly two years after <a href="/developers/meriton">Harry Triguboff's Meriton</a> submitted plans for <a href="/new-apartments/cielo">Cielo</a> at&nbsp;37-41 Oxford Street, having acquired the Cambridge Office Park from the Goodman Group.

The Goodman Group had had architecture firm Cande​lapas put together plans to redevelop the vast 4,970 sqm site, which also homes a tennis court, however Meriton called on&nbsp;Nicholas Bandounas, principal of urban design at Scott Carver who is also designing part of the Australian War Memorial,&nbsp;put together plans for a 30-level mixed-use tower with a six-level basement.

The biggest amendment to the DA was to include a childcare centre on the lower levels. That will sit alongside two retail shops and a versatile community room - managed by a dedicated building manager.

<a href="/new-apartments/cielo">Cielo</a> will become <a href="/new-apartments/epping-nsw-2121">Epping's tallest tower</a> when completed in late 2025. The 29-level tower with views&nbsp;to the Sydney CBD, Macquarie Park, and the surrounding National Parks, will home 215 one, two and three-bedroom apartments.
