National Australia Bank (NAB) will fund <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/palmera-residences-gold-coast-18-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Palmera</a>, a $1 billion, 52-level luxury residential tower being developed by Central Equity in one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held coastal locations at Northcliffe.

The project, launched recently by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/central-equity">Central Equity</a>, one of Victoria’s largest private residential developers, comes at a time when construction funding for large residential developments has become increasingly competitive as lenders tighten exposure to the sector.

Multiplex has been appointed the builder, and construction is now underway.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365784]

Since its first project, Central Equity has delivered more than 85 residential developments with a combined end value exceeding $8 billion.

Palmera reflects Central Equity’s growing focus on the Gold Coast luxury apartment market and continues a relationship between Central Equity and NAB that dates back to the late 1980s, when the bank funded one of Melbourne’s earliest inner-city residential towers at a time when high-rise apartment living in the CBD was largely unproven.

“NAB’s funding of Central Equity’s $36 million CBD development in the late 1980’s to the financing of the billion-dollar tower today highlights the long-term relationship between the two organisations in delivering major residential projects” said Central Equity Founder and Chairman Eddie Kutner.

He said NAB’s early support was instrumental in helping establish the company’s development model.

“When we commenced our first residential tower in the late 1980s the concept of funding off-the-plan apartments was still largely untested in Australia,” Kutner said.

“NAB recognised the opportunity early and supported the project when others were uncertain. That relationship has now continued for more than 37 years across many developments.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365771]

Central Equity was established in 1987 when Melbourne’s CBD and Southbank precinct were still dominated by warehouses and commercial buildings. Fewer than 100 residents lived in Southbank at the time, and large-scale residential development in the inner city was not widely considered.

Recognising changing demographics and lifestyle preferences, the company began developing high-rise residential projects designed to bring permanent residents into the city centre.

Central Equity has provided accommodation for approximately 40,000 residents across Melbourne’s CBD and Southbank, while also incorporating supporting infrastructure including essential lifestyle facilities like retail spaces, childcare facilities and neighbourhood activity centres.

Central Equity has spent many years assembling the Palmera development site on the corner of Garfield Terrace and Frederick Street in Northcliffe, creating a supersite of around 3,300 sqm.

The developer said the Palmera apartment tower reflects its long-term view of the Gold Coast as a growing and increasingly diversified economy.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365768]

Supported by infrastructure including the light rail network, major road upgrades expanded education, hospital and medical facilities and continued expansion at the Gold Coast Airport with more internation and domestic flights.

Positioned in the tightly held Northcliffe precinct, the 52-level tower will deliver 347 apartments, targeting buyers seeking a high-end coastal lifestyle, from downsizers to interstate investors.

Designed by Marchese Partners with interiors by DBI, Palmera has been conceived as a next-generation residential offering, featuring a collection of oversized apartments, with premium three-bedroom residences offering sweeping northern views stretching from Surfers Paradise through to Burleigh Heads.

NAB funds $1 billion Surfers Paradise apartment development, Palmera

Two years after completing one of the newest developments in North Sydney, developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/aqualand-australia">Aqualand</a> is turning its attention to the rapidly evolving St Leonards apartment market.

The developer, which completed AURA by Aqualand on North Sydney's Walker Street, has lodged plans for a 5,918 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/33-37-herbert-street-st-leonards-nsw-2065">33-37 Herbert Street, St Leonards,</a> seeking approval for a pair of residential towers rising above a shared podium opposite Royal North Shore Hospital.

The proposal forms part of the broader transformation underway across the St Leonards-Crows Nest precinct, where former industrial and commercial sites are increasingly being redeveloped into high-density mixed-use projects tied to major transport infrastructure.

<img alt="Aqualand" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2cc428cf-fe70-4cac-9cd5-264ad53af62c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%209.51.56%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=otKSnHtbjAvAddOnovyXQMgcAwE6DMe1" />

According to the planning documents, the site sits “within the St Leonards–Crows Nest Strategic Centre, identified by the NSW Government as a key area for accommodating future jobs and housing across Sydney.”

The proposal has been designed by fjcstudio, formerly FJMT Studio, and is being progressed through the State Significant Development pathway due to its scale and affordable housing provision.

The scheme would comprise 413 apartments, including 46 affordable housing units, alongside retail and commercial uses fronting Herbert Street. The project would also include communal open space, landscaping, a swimming pool, gymnasium, children’s play areas and podium-level resident amenities.

Planning documents show the development would consist of a part-13, part-39 storey tower form positioned above a four-storey podium.

“The development comprises a unified podium that activates the street interface, and two setback towers to accommodate new housing supply while maintaining an appropriate human scale at ground level,” fjcstudio noted in its Design Report.

The northern and southern towers have been shaped to respond to the surrounding skyline while also limiting overshadowing impacts to nearby public open space, particularly Talus Reserve.

The design report said the differing tower heights were intended to “contribute to a varied skyline while responding to the surrounding built form context and solar access considerations.”

<img alt="Aqualand" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="36da62dc-ff9e-41f2-a7e3-7be38373751c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%209.51.45%E2%80%AFAM_0.png?VersionId=Mo6Rp2r.XRLTzIfg_PEEpw8NepDH8UBs" />

The site sits directly opposite Royal North Shore Hospital and within walking distance of both St Leonards Station and the new Crows Nest Metro station.

While the site itself sits just outside the formal Crows Nest Transport Oriented Development boundary, the planning documents repeatedly reference its alignment with the broader TOD objectives reshaping the Lower North Shore.

“The site is located adjacent to St Leonards Station and in close proximity to Crows Nest Metro which is within the Crows Nest Transit Orientated Development Accelerated Precinct which has been identified by the NSW Government to support housing delivery,” the Design Verification Statement noted.

According to fjcstudio, the project has been designed to respond to the broader transition occurring across St Leonards, where increasing residential density is being concentrated around transport infrastructure and employment hubs.

“The broader precinct is undergoing significant change, with a mix of existing mid-rise buildings and newer high-density developments,” the report stated.

“Recent and approved projects indicate a consistent shift toward taller built form, typically organised as tower-and-podium typologies with more active ground levels.”

The proposal includes close to 6,000 sqm of retail and commercial space across the ground floor and podium levels, designed to create a more activated street edge along Herbert Street.

Aqualand’s plans would also introduce a landscaped podium shared between the two towers, with communal open space in the form of a podium rooftop designed to support resident interaction and improve urban greening outcomes. The scheme would also introduce pocket parks at the northern and southern ends of the site, including a landscaped area at the corner of Herbert and Ella streets designed to improve pedestrian amenity and soften the streetscape.

&nbsp;

The proposal is being progressed through the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority pathway, which was introduced to accelerate housing supply across the state. The application was declared State Significant Development in April 2025 following an expression of interest process.

<img alt="Aqualand" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="faf6d97d-2671-454f-b85a-fe1c6a7be608" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%209.51.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=diVd28OBVr5.YV.7prrOz.uAanwwwm7a" />

St Leonards has been particularly active with new developments in recent weeks. Developer SP Setia’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/first-look-sp-setia-targets-st-leonards-skyline-with-40-storey-tod-tower">plans for a new 42-storey tower</a> recently went on exhibition through the same pathway, while <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/first-look-stockland-plans-52-storey-538-apartment-st-leonards-tower">Stockland’s 52-storey tower proposal</a> was also recently unveiled.

Aside from the St Leonards project, which is expected to take around nine months to move through the approvals process ahead of a potential 2027 launch, Aqualand is also preparing to launch Boronia, a new apartment project in Roseville comprising around 111 apartments on Larkin Street.

The developer also has approvals in place for the next stage of the Barangaroo precinct, which will feature new residential, retail, hospitality and community uses, alongside a new metro entry across the five-hectare site.

More than 50 new retail destinations are planned for Central Barangaroo, alongside a 270-metre-long boulevard connecting Hickson Park to Nawi Cove. Together with Harbour Park, more than 50 per cent of the precinct will comprise public open space and parkland.

The proposal seeks approval for 172 apartments across three buildings, including 15 per cent affordable housing managed by a community housing provider for at least 15 years from occupation.

&nbsp;

The redevelopment is planned for the prominent 3,413 sqm site bounded by Marlborough Street, Goodlet Street and Lansdowne Street, directly opposite Eddie Ward Park and around 200 metres from the Surry Hills light rail stop.

Time &amp; Place acquired the former David Jones building in 2024, marking the first time the property had changed hands in around 50 years.

Designed by Wardle, the proposal centres around the adaptive reuse of the former David Jones factory, originally constructed between 1913 and 1935 in the Inter-War Chicagoesque architectural style.

Wardle noted in its Architectural Design Report that the building “occupies a significant place in the industrial and cultural history of Surry Hills” and at its peak was “the largest department store manufacturing facility in Australia, employing over 800 people and fuelling the growth of Sydney’s fashion and retail industries.”

The practice said the project positions itself “not as an isolated intervention, but as a contributor to the civic, social, and architectural grain of the precinct.”

The proposal would deliver 75 apartments within the retained southern heritage building, 59 apartments within the central addition, and a further 38 apartments within the new northern building fronting Lansdowne Street.

Planning documents show the scheme would comprise a mix of heritage apartments, new-build apartments, townhouses and penthouses.

<img alt="Marlborough" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="57758518-40a3-4b83-958c-d06e96a2cffa" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%209.29.42%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VerlX9ST5xgBi8.1_YRsqdWTJeT6ygjs" />Interior View of the Heritage Building Apartment

The development would also include a ground-floor retail tenancy on the corner of Marlborough and Lansdowne streets, rooftop communal open space, a landscaped pedestrian link along the western edge of the site, and basement parking accessed from Lansdowne Street via a car stacker system.

&nbsp;

The scheme emerged from a competitive design process run by Urbis, with Wardle ultimately selected as the winning architect ahead of FJC Studio, TZG, Architectus and Wilkinson Eyre.

The Design Integrity Panel later described several aspects of the Wardle scheme as fundamental to the project, including “the stepped character of the new addition to the north of the site”, the landscaped western pedestrian link, and the “garden arrival” experience separating the original Marlborough House from the heritage addition.

Wardle’s design heavily references the site’s industrial and heritage history, while also responding to the surrounding Surry Hills streetscape.

The Architectural Design Report describes Surry Hills as “a finely grained neighbourhood with beautiful and expressive brickworks throughout the suburb,” with the proposal introducing a material palette intended to sit comfortably alongside the existing warehouse fabric and neighbouring terraces.

The report also outlines the project’s relationship with Eddie Ward Park and the broader landscape context of the area.

“Marlborough House occupies a site of deep cultural memory and the neighbouring Eddie Ward Park is of local ecological significance, where natural systems, topography, and stories have long shaped human experience,” Wardle noted in the report.

The architects said the proposal sought to “rebind built form to Country” through landscape, materiality and the adaptive reuse of the heritage structure.

The project is also being progressed under the NSW Government’s in-fill affordable housing provisions, allowing developments that include affordable housing to access additional height and floor space incentives.

Under the plans, 2,593 sqm of the project’s floor space would be dedicated to affordable housing, slightly exceeding the required 15 per cent threshold.

In its Design Excellence Strategy, Urbis said the project aimed to “sensitively adapt and enhance the heritage-listed building on site through alterations and additions that preserve its historical significance” while delivering “high-quality market and infill affordable housing development in Surry Hills.”

Time &amp; Place has been one of the most active developers nationally in the last 12 to 24 months. Late last year they completed&nbsp;The Queensbridge in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/southbank-vic-3006">Southbank</a>, a mixed-use tower with 353 apartments and a hotel. They are currently selling Park Modern, 246 apartments near the famous Botanic Gardens in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/south-melbourne-vic-3205">South Melbourne</a>, and have future projects, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-wilmot-173-burke-road-28-hope-street-glen-iris-vic-3146">The Wilmot</a>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/glen-iris-vic-3146">Glen Iris</a>, the redevelopment of the Northcote Plaza, and another tower in South Melbourne.

The developer broke into Sydney just a few years ago with Two Tides in Manly. They have another project nearby, which is at the ultra-luxury end of the market on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/shoreline-manly-beach-89-90-north-steyne-manly">North Steyne</a>, fronting the beach.

The residential transformation of St Kilda Road is set to continue into with more new apartment plans for the sought-after boulevard.

Wing Tai Asia has lodged plans for a major residential tower at 464-466 St Kilda Road, replacing the former VACC House with an 18-storey mixed-use development designed around a retained heritage podium and a sculpted contemporary tower.

The proposal, prepared under Victoria’s Significant Residential Development with Affordable Housing pathway, would deliver 325 apartments and ground-floor retail across the prominent 4,653 sqm boulevard site in Melbourne’s St Kilda Road North Precinct.

The project centres on the adaptive reuse of the site’s heritage-listed VACC Building, an eight-storey office designed by Bernard Evans that has occupied the address for decades. Planning documents state the development would involve “carefully dismantling and conserving off-site the original metal fabric of the podium visible from St Kilda Road,” before reinstating it as the defining frontage of the new scheme.

Above the restored podium, Wing Tai is proposing a curvilinear residential tower. The scheme includes 172 one-bedroom apartments, 63 two-bedroom apartments, 66 three-bedroom apartments, and 24 four-bedroom apartments, alongside two ground-floor food and beverage tenancies fronting St Kilda Road.

The tower has been designed with substantial articulation and variable setbacks to minimise perceived bulk and maintain view corridors along the boulevard. Urbis, which prepared the planning report, said the design “has been significantly articulated through a curvilinear design” with “an interplay with materials, façade expression and depth” to create visual separation and visual interest.

The proposal also includes 254 basement car spaces, landscaped pedestrian links connecting St Kilda Road and Queens Lane, and a biophilic landscape strategy featuring canopy trees, raised planters, cascading greenery and a glass oculus pool overlooking the eastern frontage.

Planning documents confirm the $270.1 million development will contribute 3 per cent of project costs to the Social Housing Growth Fund as part of the application process.

Wing Tai acquired the St Kilda Road property in 2018 alongside Abacus Property Group for $95.38 million, before later consolidating ownership of the site. The property previously served as the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce headquarters for around 60 years.

The transformation of the St Kilda Rd boulevard is already beginning to materialise, with a number of high-profile projects recently completed, launched, or approaching launch as developers continue to back the long-term appeal of the precinct.

Among the most notable recent completions is Louise by Samuel Property Group, just off the strip on Queens Lane, the same pocket Hirsch &amp; Faigen recently launched The Queensbury. Mirvac is too on the same street with The Albertine, which is approaching completion.

Dexus recently secured approval for its slice of St Kilda Road, while Gurner also has approved plans for the precinct.

Malaysian developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> is the latest to jump into St Leonards booming Transport Oriented Development precinct.

The developer, which has previously delivered Sapphire by the Gardens apartment development in Melbourne, identified the Atchison Street site in 2023. It filed a Scoping Report around 12 months ago, and now has revealed the designs for the new&nbsp;40-storey mixed-use tower.

The State Significant Development Application covers <a href="https://next-portal.urban.com.au/projects/14650/summary">20-22 Atchison Street</a>, a 1,374 sqm site positioned between St Leonards Station and the new Crows Nest Metro station.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the project would deliver 181 apartments, above a four-storey commercial podium, five basement levels, and new public domain works along Mitchell Street. The apartment mix comprises 35 one-bedroom apartments, 39 one-bedroom-plus-study apartments, 85 two-bedroom apartments, and 22 three-bedroom residences.

The proposal has been lodged as a shop-top housing development under the NSW Government’s TOD planning pathway, which allows increased density around key transport infrastructure. The site sits within the recently rezoned Crows Nest Accelerated TOD Precinct.

<img alt="First look: SP Setia targets St Leonards skyline with 40-storey TOD tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b799673d-48e2-46b0-801a-0e33a9330100" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/atchinson%20site.png?VersionId=dPh0UfwfaHpbFL1R7H1cbZNbIW0CHbCC" />

SP Setia acquired the Atchison Street site as part of its continued expansion into the Australian apartment market. In comments made to City &amp; Country (The Edge Malaysia) in 2023, SP Setia President and CEO Datuk Choong Kai Wai described the acquisition as “a strategic move” aligned with the group’s post-pandemic market recovery strategy.

“Our target for this exceptional development is local and overseas buyers, including first-home buyers, downsizers and investors,” Choong said.

The tower has been designed as a slender vertical form rising from a mixed-use podium, with COX Architecture positioning the development as a response to the evolving St Leonards and Crows Nest skyline.

“The purpose of the project is to facilitate the delivery of high-quality housing at a strategically located site and deliver a built tower outcome that is consistent with the desired future character of St Leonards and aligns with the TOD controls,” the design report stated.

<img alt="First look: SP Setia targets St Leonards skyline with 40-storey TOD tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b1a85eee-76f7-436c-a6da-73ba827b9b13" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/atchinson%20entry.png?VersionId=dA9jHGPMcm.dDbwk4QfxqWiY5bfh3UVt" />

The podium would incorporate retail uses fronting Atchison Street, commercial tenancies, landscaped communal areas, and pedestrian improvements along Mitchell Street. Vehicle access and loading would be consolidated via Atchison Lane.

Residents would have access to more than 665 sqm of communal indoor and outdoor spaces, while the development proposes 96 parking spaces across five basement levels.

The proposal also includes a commitment for 10 per cent of residential floor space to be allocated toward affordable housing through a monetary contribution.

COX said the tower form responds directly to the emerging high-density character of the precinct while seeking to maximise solar access, cross ventilation, and outlook from apartments.

<img alt="First look: SP Setia targets St Leonards skyline with 40-storey TOD tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2163f85c-f63b-4be3-aafa-f8763976cec5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Article%20Feature%20Image%20%28Grid%29_5.png?VersionId=WiAmtIKJ6.ZQ41EtYEQ1fol7AeorKBlL" />

“The building is orientated towards north,” the Apartment Design Guide compliance report noted, adding that the tower’s slim form was driven by the constrained inner-urban site dimensions.

The design also incorporates landscaped setbacks and communal open space at podium level, intended to soften the interface with surrounding streets and improve pedestrian amenity.

The project adds to a growing wave of redevelopment proposals reshaping St Leonards and Crows Nest following the opening of the Sydney Metro City line and the NSW Government’s push for higher-density housing around major transport nodes.

Last week Stockland filed plans just down the road. They want to build a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/601-pacific-highway-st-leonards-nsw-2065">52-storey tower on Pacific Highway</a>.

Sydney off the plan apartments

It was a decade ago when Harry Triguboff's Meriton completed Vantage, their first build-to-rent project in Rhodes, a waterside inner west suburb of Sydney.

Now the nation's largest apartment builder is set to develop a buy-to-sell project on the other side of the train tracks.

The $137 million plans are for two Plus Architecture-designed towers with 285 apartments on an amalgamated 5,516 sqm site across Blaxland Road, Concord Road, and Llewellyn Street. The apartments will sit above a medical centre, childcare centre, a commercial office, and four retail spaces.

Over half of the apartments are two-bedders (145). There are 57 one-bed units, 66 three-beds, and 17 four-bedroom apartments.

<img alt="Meriton" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="22f71a88-c0eb-412b-a6b2-13b50514d836" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-08-16%20at%201.30.20%20pm.png?VersionId=06HuodDyLQmgqdO3Nbrt_2p.xWJcldb4" />

The apartment mix is distributed throughout the building, Plus advise.

"There are larger apartments on both lower and upper levels and each level accommodates a diversity of apartment types," their Design Verification Statement submitted to Canada Bay Council stated.

They will be spread across the two buildings, one nine levels, the other 28.

Plus say the&nbsp;buildings are composed to be clearly legible and to clearly establish a base and tower form.

"Warm shades of materials are used to break through the building form to provide further contrast and warmth within the overall composition."

<img alt="Meriton Rhodes" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e5da512b-d323-47f1-bf6f-90c51a69e38f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-08-16%20at%201.30.16%20pm.png?VersionId=p7x_Z9c4_gRwnZX4cHb1hQr4.88sjPF9" />

The building benefits from the new&nbsp;City of Canada Development Control Plan, adopted in March 2022, which provides detailed provisions to guide development for the Rhodes East Priority Precinct where the proposed development is located.

The site is located within ‘Station Gateway East’ character area, which is a key transport hub located between Rhodes Station and Concord Road. The close proximity to the station will encourage the use of rail services and other public transport modes.

&nbsp;

There will be nearly 1,500 sqm of communal open space, which will include a swimming pool on the roof of the smaller building. Five levels of basement will have 283 car parking spaces, 678 bicycle spaces, and 57 motorcycle spaces.

The landscaping was a collaboration between Oculus and Greenaway Architects.

The evolution of the Lower North Shore as one of the most sought-after places to live across the whole of Sydney has seen <a href="/new-apartments/st-leonards-nsw-2065">St Leonards</a> become a central hub of what once was just farmland and cottages.

The origins of <a href="/new-apartments/st-leonards-nsw-2065">St Leonards</a> can be traced back to the mid-1800's, when the&nbsp;land was granted to Edward Wollstonecraft, an influential early settler and businessman. The suburb took its name from a farm owned by Wollstonecraft, which he named after his father's hometown, St Leonards-on-Sea, in England.

It was originally&nbsp;established as a rural area, with a few scattered farms. Over the next century, driven by the construction of the first <a href="/new-apartments/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a> to Parramatta railway line in the 1850s,&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/st-leonards-nsw-2065">St Leonards</a> gradually transformed into a hub for small scale industries like brickmaking, timber mills and tanneries.&nbsp;

The suburb was filled with cottages and housing estates, up until the 1960s when there was significant development of high-rise apartment buildings, catering for professionals and families seeking modern&nbsp; and convenient living options close to both the city centre and the growing list of amenities on the North Shore.

<a href="/new-apartments/st-leonards-nsw-2065">St Leonards</a> has continued to thrive as part of the urban spill from the <a href="/new-apartments/sydney-nsw">Sydney CBD</a>, and it's now home to headquarters of major businesses such as Verizon Australia, Warner Bros., and Ramsay Health Care.

Developer New Hope Evergreen were well aware of the growth in <a href="/new-apartments/st-leonards-nsw-2065">St Leonards</a>. They made their first play in the suburb in nearly a decade ago, securing a prime Pacific Highway site and developing The Landmark, which was completed in 2021.

Given the success they saw at the 46-level tower, they continued to focus their pipeline in the burgeoning suburb. They recently launched The Landmark Quarter, a trio of Rothelowman-designed buildings on Marshall Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139897 project_image_fid=212581]

The Landmark Quarter comprises a series of buildings on an elevated site offering future residents views of Sydney Harbour and the city skyline.

Renowned architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="/architects/rothelowman" target="_blank">Rothelowman</a>&nbsp;has designed the trio of towers in The Landmark Quarter, which will offer a mixture of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a handful of four-bedroom penthouses. There's also a small number of townhomes, sculpted to sync with the harbour's edge.

Many of the apartments benefit from city and harbour views, which can be taken in from either the balcony or living area, given all apartments have floor-to-ceiling glass doors to the balcony.

The townhouses have three bedrooms, each with their own private entrance. The homes are crafted with herringbone timber floors and sweeping natural stone, bestowing a timeless quality to the signature private homes.

Resort-inspired landscapes by Arcadia run between, within and atop the building, with the masterplan offering it's own private parkland, as well as an oasis pool, sauna and hot spa, cinema room, private dining and games room, outdoor dining and barbecue areas.

Eddy Haddad's Level 33 has continued to pad out its development pipeline.

They've submitted plans to the Georges River Council for a $35 million project across an amalgamated 10-lot, 2,572 sqm site at 1-11 Princes Highway and 1-5 Stanley Street in <a href="/developments/kogarah-bay-nsw-2217">Kogarah Bay</a>.

The 10-level tower will home 112 apartments, a stone's throw away from <a href="/developments/kogarah-nsw-2217">Kogarah</a> Town Centre and <a href="/developments/kogarah-nsw-2217">Kogarah</a> Train Station.

<img alt="Level 33" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ae88caed-fe34-4bbf-a051-13171bde79da" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-08-15%20at%209.08.29%20am.png?VersionId=xMzk2i1gKbgVXCQizrO3vpOtMIOqjlCM" />

The building has been designed by Tony Owens Partners, who said in their Design Verification Statement submitted to council that the proposal "will provide 112 high quality residential units which is consistent with the objectives of the zone and this precinct."

"Being located in the Town Centre, this is an area well served by existing infrastructure and amenities it is well served by public transport, schools, parks and shops. The additional yield will provide suitable, well designed housing for the area and contribute to this vibrant community."

The building will home commercial space with paved outdoor seating and landscaping facing Princes Highway.

The precinct is zoned for 10-storey apartments, and Tony Owens says it is going through the process of transition of two to four-storey, pre-war flat building and two-storey commercial buildings to higher density developments.

"This can be seen on several blocks directly south of the site between Stanley Street and Regent Street, West of Princes Hwy. This area is characterised by 9-10 storey apartment blocks in close proximity.

"These blocks reflect the current and future character of the area."

Construction is well underway at Devitt Property Group's St Kilda Road development, The Muse.&nbsp;

Devitt Property Group, led by industry veteran Peter Devitt, appointed LU Simon, where he is a director and part owner, to handle the build of the <a href="/new-apartments/the-muse-409-413-st-kilda-road-melbourne">14-level development at 409-413 St Kilda Road</a>, which has been a long time in the making.

Devitt acquired the land 18 years ago with the intention of creating a landmark development. However, the project hit a snag in 2017 when objections from residents in a nearby building raised concerns about its potential impact on the historic Fawkner Park.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5391 project_image_fid=79557]

Designed in collaboration between Bruce Henderson Architects and Bruce Henderson Interiors, The Muse now comprises just 42 residences across 14 levels, including a double-storey penthouse which hit the market in 2018 with a price tag of $45 million. The penthouse spans over 1,000 sqm and features an additional 190 sqm of terraces, providing views of the bay, city skyline, and the Royal Botanic Gardens.

The penthouse is a true symbol of extravagance, equipped with lavish amenities and advanced technology. It boasts a self-cleaning toilet from the esteemed Japanese brand Toto, which operates automatically with sensor activation, along with a private swimming pool, billiard room, wine room, gym, steam room, and circadian rhythm lights to aid residents in adjusting after overseas travel.

The Muse will also implement cutting-edge security measures, including facial, fingerprint, and number plate recognition technology. Residents will enjoy hi-tech home automation systems that automatically summon lifts upon entry, control air conditioning, and even prepare the kettle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5391 project_image_fid=79565]

Every apartment within The Muse has been designed as though it were a unique home, with handcrafted fittings and an emphasis on luxury and elegance. The architectural inspiration harkens back to the grandeur of New York City and the artistic allure of the 1920's and 1930's jazz age, as well as the sophistication of luxury car designs by renowned brands such as Delage, Delahaye, Packard, and Duesenberg.

The architecture of The Muse reflects a delicate and feminine form, characterised by graceful curves, transparency, and an abundance of light. Circular motifs are a recurring theme, showcased in the floorplans and incorporated into the Paul Bangay landscaping concept. Circular swimming pools, curved island benches in the kitchens, and round baths in the ensuites all add to the sense of timeless luxury.

"A Domain Precinct address places you on the cusp of all that is great and wondrous about Melbourne," Bruce Henderson said of the project.

"It is a lifestyle unlike any other."

Construction is slated to wrap on the development in 2024.&nbsp;

Top Spring Australia has secured over $100 million in sales in the last three months at its <a href="/developments/st-leonards-nsw-2065">St Leonards</a> parkside masterplan community, The Newlands.

They've now sold over $160 million worth of apartments in the <a href="/new-apartments/the-newlands-st-leonards-21-41-canberra-avenue-st-leonards">1.26-hectare precinct</a>, with the strongest enquiry coming from professionals seeking an inner-city, tree-change lifestyle which is on the&nbsp;doorstep of the Royal North Shore Hospital and education precincts, and less than five kilometres to the <a href="/new-apartments/sydney-nsw">Sydney CBD</a>.

Colliers Director Daniel McMahon said professional couples accounted for 80 per cent of buyers at <a href="/new-apartments/the-newlands-st-leonards-21-41-canberra-avenue-st-leonards">The Newlands</a>, attracted to its Lower North Shore location and easy access to the hospital and education precincts.

Downsizers accounted for 15 per cent of purchasers, relocating from their established homes on both the Upper and Lower North Shore, including Kirribilli.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24509 project_image_fid=203622]

“The Newlands is a development for every generation evidenced by the mix of buyers, from young families who value the large apartments, green space and parkland proximity, to empty nesters who appreciate the premium finishes and walkable lifestyle,” McMahon said.

“Regardless of their stage in life, every purchaser has commented on the tree-top outlook and resident amenities. They see it as a place to create a home and it appeals to their personal values in terms of community, sustainability, and connection to nature.”

The demand has fast-tracked the formal launch of the Glade collection, a boutique nine-level building of one, two and three-bedroom apartments alongside the 5,700 sqm green spine of <a href="/new-apartments/the-newlands-st-leonards-21-41-canberra-avenue-st-leonards">The Newlands</a>.

The Bates Smart-designed project is bordered by parkland on three sides and includes communal onsite electric vehicles and e-bikes, refrigerated parcel lockers for grocery deliveries, and a digital concierge to connect services such as cleaners, personal trainers, and dog walkers.

Private resident amenities include a resort-style pool, playgrounds, gyms, and rooftop entertaining areas with city views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24509 project_image_fid=203623]

Top Spring Australia Development Director, Jeff Curnow, said the scale of <a href="/new-apartments/the-newlands-st-leonards-21-41-canberra-avenue-st-leonards">The Newlands</a> is a refreshing contrast to towering high-rises, reflecting a community-driven design approach that embraces the tree canopy of the century-old Newlands Park.

“The entire development acknowledges its rare parkfront position and is surrounded by trees and greenery with elevated walkways, water features and nature pathways,” Curnow said.

“More than 50 per cent of the site is dedicated to green spaces, with a private green spine of beautifully landscaped gardens, recreation spaces and mature trees.

“It’s incredibly rare to have a tree-change lifestyle of this scale so close to the <a href="/new-apartments/sydney-nsw">CBD</a> and we’ve experienced an extraordinary response from home buyers.”

Early works have commenced on the Canberra Avenue site with DASCO appointed Top Spring Australia’s construction partner.

Prices start at $865,000 for a one-bedroom apartment, $1.42 million for two bedrooms, and $2.42 million for three bedrooms.

Third.i Co-Founder Luke Berry said Decode’s Grande Pyrmont was a competing development for Third.i’s recently completed luxury townhouse project, Paragon of Pyrmont, and the Sydney construction company made an impact.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109979 project_image_fid=187063]

“We were thoroughly impressed with the quality of the build at Grande Pyrmont, and we have wanted to work with Decode ever since," Berry said.

"After reviewing Decode’s projects within Sydney and the surrounding areas, we gained an understanding of the team's ability to deliver a quality product that all stakeholders were proud of.

“Today’s announcement marks the start of an exciting partnership that will see <a href="/new-apartments/dairy-farmers-towers-newcastle-west-924-hunter-street-newcastle-west-nsw-2302">Dairy Farmers Towers</a> brought to life for residents and the wider <a href="/developments/newcastle-nsw">Newcastle community</a>.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109979 project_image_fid=187057]

“We are excited and honoured to be partnering with Third.i on a project of this scale and calibre, embarking on our inaugural venture outside Sydney," Rihani said.

"As we forge ahead into this new chapter, we remain resolute in our mission to deliver excellence in construction, and we are eager to set a new benchmark for modern living in the <a href="/developments/newcastle-nsw">Newcastle CBD</a>.

“With Third.i’s reputation for creating exemplary legacy projects and our commitment to excellence, the project will breathe new life into one of the city’s most iconic locations.”

Kellyville will soon welcome a new residential development to its leafy enclave, with joint venture partners Laurus Projects and Grandland Group well underway with construction of Montane.&nbsp;

Located on Wrights Road, the project will deliver a boutique collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments to the heart of the suburb, bringing with it an affordable living experience amongst the ongoing transformation across north west Sydney.

Taking advantage of its elevated position, Montane is set against a backdrop of the Blue Mountains, with the three four-storey buildings surrounded by lush greenery and natural surrounds.&nbsp;

Crowning each of the buildings will be a communal rooftop terrace, complete with gardens, children's play area, covered barbecue facilities, integrated seating and a fully-equipped gym. The rooftop spaces will also feature community rooms, which can be booked out by residents for meetings and private functions.&nbsp;

The apartments themselves combine intelligent architectural design with premium finishes.

The kitchens, which serve as the heart of the homes, feature breakfast bars, 40 millimetre stone benchtops, stainless steel European appliances, timber joinery and travertine tiling.&nbsp;

The bathrooms are just as considered, boasting frameless glass shower screens, gold Calacatta feature vanities and chrome tapware.&nbsp;

Residents of Montane will also benefit from smart home automation, which will allow residents to control various aspects of their apartments using Google Home technology.&nbsp;

A limited number of unsold apartments remain in Montane, with the first crop of buyers expected to move in by Q4 this year.&nbsp;
