Iwan Sunito's vision for a landmark mixed-use precinct in Sydney's Inner West has taken a major step forward, with approval granted for the $1.9 billion Five Dock development first unveiled earlier this year.

The approved scheme by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/one-global-capital">One Global Capital</a> will deliver an 80,500 sqm mixed-use precinct comprising 840 apartments, integrated hotel accommodation, commercial and retail space, alongside publicly accessible open space designed to create a new destination for the growing suburb.

"This is a significant milestone for One Global Capital and for the future of housing delivery in Sydney," Sunito said.

"The Housing Delivery Authority was established to identify major housing projects capable of delivering meaningful supply more efficiently, and we are delighted that Spencer Street has been recognised as one of those projects.”

He said the declaration reflected the rapid progress achieved since acquiring control of the site.

"In less than seven months we have progressed from taking control of the site to securing entry into one of the NSW Government's most important planning pathways. It reflects the experience of our team, the strength of our consultant group led by Urbis, and our long-term commitment to delivering transformational projects that contribute to Sydney's future."

When the project was revealed earlier this year, Sunito described the opportunity as one of the strongest development sites he had worked on.

"I probably hadn't appreciated the uniqueness of the site until more recently when putting together the concept plans," Sunito said.

"The proximity to the water, and the golf course opposite, is unlike any other part of Parramatta Road. We have a unique position and view corridors over the water that makes this one of the best sites I've worked on."

The development has evolved since its initial announcement, with the approved plans increasing the residential component from the originally proposed 750 apartments to 840 homes while retaining the project's focus on creating an integrated neighbourhood rather than a standalone residential development.

The precinct will combine apartments with hotel accommodation, commercial workplaces, retail offerings and public spaces, creating a mixed-use environment intended to serve both residents and the broader Five Dock community. The proposal also continues the collaboration between One Global Capital and internationally recognised architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/koichi-takada-architects">Koichi Takada</a>, whose previous work with Sunito includes Infinity, Arc and Skye North Sydney.

Takada previously said the design was driven by a philosophy of integrating nature into the built environment.

"The concept for this development is born from our design approach to naturalising architecture," Takada said.

"The public realm benefits from biophilic design that integrates generous landscaping, and the development is optimised for natural daylight, airflow and water views to foster wellbeing, sustainability and spaces that foster community interaction."

Sunito has consistently described the project as a "city within a city", with a strong emphasis on creating a destination that extends beyond housing.

"We want to create a development that's not only to be seen, but to be experienced by the whole local community," he said.

The approval comes as Five Dock continues its transformation ahead of the opening of the Sydney Metro West line, with the new Five Dock station set to significantly improve connections between the Inner West, Parramatta and the Sydney CBD.&nbsp;

The precinct will also benefit from its proximity to the Parramatta Road corridor, nearby waterfront parklands and established retail and dining offerings that have made Five Dock one of Sydney's most tightly held Inner West suburbs.

The new <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/yarraville-green-42-stephen-street-yarraville-vic-3013">Yarraville Green</a> development in Melbourne's inner west is showing that landscaping can be just as influential as architecture, with buyers responding strongly to the garden-first approach adopted from the outset by developer Excelon Projects and the project's design team.

Excelon appointed Six Degrees Architects and landscape architects SBLA to work collaboratively on the development, with a brief to create "a sustainable, design-led building with a focus on community."

That approach has resonated with buyers. According to Next Chapter Director Tom Hirini, who is leading the sales campaign, the landscaped communal garden has become one of the project's defining features, alongside its boutique scale and European-inspired cluster housing concept.

Local downsizers, right-sizers and established families already living in Yarraville and surrounding suburbs have accounted for the majority of purchasers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144913 project_image_fid=297740]

Yarraville Green will comprise 53 homes, including apartments and townhomes, arranged around the shared central garden to maximise connections to the landscaped open space. Parking has been moved underground, allowing the ground plane to be dedicated to greenery, pedestrian movement and communal spaces.

The landscape extends well beyond passive planting. Productive garden beds, a pergola, communal gathering spaces, garden sheds and a pet wash have all been integrated into the masterplan, creating spaces designed to encourage everyday interaction between residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144913 project_image_fid=297741]

The interiors continue Excelon's focus on craftsmanship, incorporating bespoke elements by Melbourne artisans including leadlight detailing by Adadaz, hand-turned timber hardware by Auburn Woodturning and blown-glass lighting by Ruth Allen.

Sustainability has also been embedded throughout the project, with Yarraville Green targeting an average 7-star NatHERS energy rating through passive design principles, rooftop solar servicing common areas and rainwater harvesting for landscape irrigation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144913 project_image_fid=297735]

Construction continues to progress at Yarraville Green, with structural works well underway and framing works approaching completion under builder Balmain &amp; Co. The project remains on track for completion in mid-2027.

Apartments at Yarraville Green are currently priced from $625,000, while townhomes start from $1.4 million.

National diversified developer Fortis has officially launched Crest &amp; Walker, its latest Brisbane apartment development, with construction now underway on the 20-storey Newstead project.

Award-winning builder BINAH has commenced construction on the Bureau^Proberts-designed building, which will deliver a limited collection of 65 two and three-bedroom apartments on Kyabra Street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145922 project_image_fid=373556]

The project marks Fortis' fourth active residential development in Brisbane, following River House, which is nearing completion, alongside projects in New Farm and Hamilton as the national developer continues to expand its South East Queensland pipeline.

Fortis General Manager – Development Queensland Dan Boman said Crest &amp; Walker reflects the developer's long-term commitment to delivering design-led residential projects in Brisbane's established inner-city suburbs.

"We're proud to be strengthening our presence in Brisbane with Crest &amp; Walker, particularly in such a sought-after lifestyle destination as Newstead," Boman said.

"Every Fortis project is shaped by its context, and we approach each one with the respect and care it deserves.

"Our focus is always on creating places that feel connected to their neighbourhood and elevate the everyday experience for residents. Newstead continues to evolve as one of Brisbane's most sought-after urban communities, and Crest &amp; Walker reflects our ambition to contribute meaningfully to that story."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145922 project_image_fid=373559]

Positioned between Gasworks Plaza and James Street, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/crest-walker-newstead-12-kyabra-street-newstead-qld-4006">Crest &amp; Walker</a> has been designed as a boutique residential address offering privacy and generous living spaces within one of Brisbane's most established lifestyle precincts.

The building features a contemporary brick podium softened by integrated landscaping, while the upper levels are characterised by restrained architecture and enduring materiality. Interiors have been designed to maximise natural light, acoustic performance and long-term liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145922 project_image_fid=373583]

Residences comprise spacious two and three-bedroom floorplans, with two-bedroom apartments priced from $1.55 million and three-bedroom, half-floor residences from $3.95 million.

Residents will have access to a wellness-focused rooftop featuring a swimming pool, sauna, steam room, landscaped dining spaces and outdoor lounge areas overlooking Newstead and the Brisbane CBD.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145922 project_image_fid=373571]

Sales are being managed by Slaite Projects, with Fortis expecting strong demand from owner-occupiers seeking a high-quality, design-focused apartment in one of Brisbane's most tightly held inner-city suburbs.

Completion of Crest &amp; Walker is slated for late 2028.

Fortis expands Brisbane pipeline with launch of Crest & Walker in Newstead

The enormity of delivering a true skyscraper in Australia's new development market is often overlooked.

It has taken the best part of a decade since plans for Chevron One were first unveiled, but the 41-storey tower is now complete, with residents collecting their keys and moving into what has become one of the Gold Coast's most recognisable new landmarks.

Rising 127 metres above Chevron Island, Chevron One stands almost twice as high as any other building on the island. Its scale places it alongside the trio of towers at Jewel, arguably the last truly significant addition to the central Gold Coast skyline when they were completed around six years ago.

While there are several developments underway around a similar height to Chevron One, they are more concentrated within clusters of the highest towers in the city. The fact Chevron One sits within a developing precinct, looking back at the other high-rise developments in Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach, makes it a different proposition altogether. It will certainly become a reference point on the Gold Coast skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=68833]

Developer Bensons Property Group is behind the 41-storey tower, which has 229 apartments, along with an exhaustive list of resident amenity spread across what is the largest development site ever assembled on Chevron Island.

The tower has been the talk of the town for years, says Ray White Projects Gold Coast agent Caitlin Rosenboom, who is selling the remaining apartments.

"People have been watching Chevron One go up for years," Rosenboom says, adding that many prospective buyers have been surprised by the scale of the views once they step inside.

"It's only when they walk through a completed apartment that they truly understand the position of the building," Rosenboom says.

"The views are jaw-dropping. Whether you're looking east over the ocean, across Surfers Paradise, along the river systems or out to the hinterland, every level offers something different but equally impressive."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=360215]

One of Chevron One's defining advantages is its location on the eastern side of Chevron Island on Stanhill Drive, a position which protects the views forever.

"There's only one row of houses between Chevron One and the water, and the height restrictions along the river means views from Chevron One can never be built out,"&nbsp;Rosenboom says.

While new apartment developments continue to emerge across the Gold Coast, Rosenboom says opportunities to secure a completed apartment with this level of outlook are becoming increasingly rare.

"The size of the site is something that would be incredibly difficult to replicate today," she says.

"That's allowed Chevron One to deliver the sort of amenity, open space and resident facilities that very few projects can offer. There are not many completed apartment buildings on the Gold Coast right now that can compete with the combination of scale, quality and amenity."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=68839]

There's around 2,000 sqm of amenity solely for the use of residents of Chevron One. Club One features a uniquely shaped swimming pool that mirrors the footprint of the building itself, set within a extensively landscaped gardens. There's also an indoor pool and spa, a fully equipped gym with a Pilates room, a yoga garden, a bookable private dining area and lounge that can host up to 30 people, and a 24-hour concierge service.

As for the buyers, Rosenboom is fielding enquiry from everywhere: Sydneysiders and Melburnians looking at the new and off-the-plan market following the changes in the Federal Budget, as well as those looking to relocate, through to South East Queenslanders seeking either a permanent home or a weekender bolthole.

"The Gold Coast lifestyle continues to resonate with people relocating from the southern states, and when they see the views and the quality of what's been delivered at Chevron One, it becomes very easy for them to understand the appeal," Rosenboom says.

A diverse mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments remain available, with each offering "something a little different", be it the orientation and views, configuration, or level, to suit a wide variety of buyers.

The remaining apartments are ready to inspect in person, by appointment.

A decade in the making: Residents to move into Chevron One as construction wraps up

A general rule of thumb in new apartment developments is that the penthouses get the rooftop.

It's a formula that's become commonplace across Australia's apartment market. Residents might have access to a pool, gym or barbecue facilities on a dedicated lower level, but the most desirable outdoor spaces are typically reserved for the highest-priced homes at the top of the building.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sherpa-property-group">Sherpa Property Group</a> has taken the opposite approach.

Rather than dedicating the rooftop to a handful of buyers, the Gold Coast developer has made it the centrepiece of its Flourish collection, creating expansive shared spaces from the best vantage point in the building.

The philosophy has reached its most ambitious expression at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/flourish-soleira-palm-beach-1150-1160-gold-coast-highway-palm-beach-qld-4221">Flourish Soleira</a> in Palm Beach, where two rooftop precincts connected by a skybridge will deliver one of the most extensive lifestyle offerings seen in a residential apartment project on the Gold Coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=374053]

"We're seeing a clear move toward developments that offer more than just an apartment," Sherpa Group founder Christie Leet said.

"People want spaces that support how they actually live, whether that's working from home, staying active, or spending time with family and friends.

"That's where amenity becomes critical. It's not just about what's included, but how those spaces are designed to be used every day."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=374052]

The breadth of amenity has already attracted buyers across multiple demographics. Younger first home buyers have been drawn to Soleira's one-bedroom apartments, a product rarely delivered in Palm Beach, while families have responded to practical inclusions such as the shallow children's pool adjoining the main lap pool and the extensive communal recreation areas.

Instead of a single rooftop, Soleira delivers two distinct lifestyle zones.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=372547]

The southern rooftop has been dedicated to wellness, featuring a gym, yoga and Pilates studio, work-from-home facilities, a wellness centre, spa, and hot and cold plunge pools.

The northern rooftop focuses on recreation and entertaining, incorporating a heated resort-style pool, private dining rooms, pizza ovens, barbecues, a golf simulator, children's recreation areas, and what is expected to be the Gold Coast's first rooftop basketball court, which will also double as a squash court.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=374054]

Beyond the rooftops, Soleira will introduce 1,500 sqm of curated retail beneath the towers, creating one of Palm Beach's first genuinely mixed-use lifestyle precincts where cafés, restaurants and convenience retail become part of residents' everyday lives.

Sherpa has also retained management rights across the development, allowing it to oversee the long-term operation of the building through a 24-hour concierge model. The developer is also exploring additional revenue streams within the precinct aimed at helping offset ongoing body corporate costs for residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=370962]

While Soleira is the largest project Sherpa has delivered, the rooftop-first philosophy has been evolving for several years.

It began with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/amargo-6-12-sixth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">Flourish Amargo</a>, the first project released under the Flourish brand. Rather than competing at the ultra-luxury end of the market with oversized half-floor and full-floor residences, Sherpa focused on creating lifestyle-driven apartments supported by resort-style shared spaces.

Amargo introduced more than 800 sqm of rooftop amenity, combining wellness facilities, heated pools, entertaining areas, cabanas, pizza ovens and private dining spaces into what was designed as an extension of residents' homes rather than a facility used only occasionally.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146527 project_image_fid=366550]

That approach continued with Flourish Oasis, where the same amenity-led philosophy was refined into a more boutique development. Strong demand from Sherpa's growing VIP database saw much of the project sold before it reached the broader market, reinforcing buyer appetite for apartment communities centred around shared lifestyle experiences.

Flourish Amargo is slated for completion mid-way-through next year, with Oasis to be delivered by late 2027. Flourish Soleira is expected to complete in 2030.

Terrace House

Rarely does a development like Ashbury Terraces hit the market in Sydney&#39;s popular inner west area.

The family-owned developer and builder, Coronation Property, in collaboration with SJB Architects and 360 Landscape Architects, has created something completely new in the suburb of Ashbury.

Ashbury Terraces, at 165 Milton Street, will see&nbsp;59 terraces and three luxurious penthouses across three&nbsp;residential buildings, anchored by a resort-style landscaped pool area that looks more at home in LA&#39;s Palm Springs.

&ldquo;Some of Australia&rsquo;s best design minds are working on the project, meaning everything about the interiors of Ashbury Terraces exudes refined designer living,&rdquo; Coronation Property&#39;s Head of Urban Transformations,&nbsp;Aras Labutis, said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=193246]

Coronation will&nbsp;transform the former industrial site into a luxury residential estate. They secured the parcel of land in 2014 as one of just two neighbouring spaces available for renewal in the tightly held suburb.

The&nbsp;stage one release will see&nbsp;59 two and three-storey terrace homes and three exclusive penthouses hit the market.

The design of the terraces takes inspiration from the area&rsquo;s parklands and well-defined heritage character to honour its setting and blend seamlessly into its surrounds.

&ldquo;Ashbury Terraces has been designed to bring communities together and welcome families at every stage of life to enjoy a home that embraces light, high-amenity and the natural surrounds,&rdquo; Labutis said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=193248]

Residences will feature open-plan living spaces with expansive outdoor entertaining areas and gardens. The project celebrates living amongst greenery, bringing the outdoors in across multi-level gardens from the ground up.

SJB&#39;s interior architects have developed two colour palettes directly inspired by the gardens of Ashbury. Buyers will get the choice between the Flora Scheme, which features soft pink and beige tones, and the Fibre Scheme, which has tones of white and grey.

The Terraces include&nbsp;a selection of high-quality fittings and inclusions,&nbsp;including high-end Miele appliances and large pantries.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=193233]

SJB has worked collaboratively with Coronation&nbsp;to ensure the private outdoor retreats have views of the surrounding landscape and city skyline.

&ldquo;Our shared vision with Coronation was to create a collection of residences built on community and amenity &ndash; a place that truly improves as it ages,&rdquo; said Adam Haddow, SJB&rsquo;s Principal Architect &amp; Director.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=193234]

At the heart of the project is &lsquo;The Garden&rsquo; &ndash; a large communal space with dining areas, a gym and a 20-metre heated swimming pool.

Landscaped pathways connect W H Wagener Oval, which act as an extension of the already sizeable backyards.

The development will also incorporate a pedestrian link between Milton Street and the park for both residents of Ashbury Terraces and the broader community to utilise.

Ashbury Terraces has been consciously designed with the inclusion of solar panels to enhance sustainability, which supports Coronation&rsquo;s long-term view of creating homes to last a lifetime.

With construction underway, residents are expected to move in by mid-2024.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=193248]

Having already completed the likes of The Paper Mill precinct in Liverpool, Coronation have over $5.3 billion in mixed-use projects in the pipeline,&nbsp;including Mason &amp; Main in Merrylands, as well as Charlie Parker and 8 Phillip St in Parramatta, which are currently under construction.

In an attempt to help property buyers get on the ladder in an era of runaway house prices, Coronation Property&nbsp;recently launched the&nbsp;&lsquo;Own Way&rsquo; finance scheme.

The scheme&nbsp;offers flexible deposit arrangements for aspiring buyers, catering to homebuyers wanting to get a foot in the door, but who may be struggling to save the 10 per cent deposit.

The flexible&nbsp;deposit payment scheme allows buyers to secure an apartment with just a one per cent&nbsp;upfront deposit, paying&nbsp;off the remaining balance of the usual 10 per cent&nbsp;deposit over a 12-month period.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://coronation.com.au/pave-your-own-way-to-homeownership/">Learn more about Coronation&rsquo;s Own Way scheme here.</a>

Designed in collaboration with SJB Architects, five residential buildings will sit across a 1.5 hectare site at 165 Milton Street , which is about 10 kilometres from Sydney’s CBD.

A local private purchaser has snapped up four adjoining terrace houses in Melbourne's Cremorne.
There was a strong contest between owner-occupiers and developers for 102-106 Stephenson Street.
It sold under the hammer for $7.1 million after bidding started from $6,300,000.
Four adjoining property owners joined forces to sell their properties as one large, 546 square metre Commercial 2 zoned development site.
The eventual land rate of $13,003 per square metre sets a new benchmark for Cremorne commercial development opportunities, Colliers suggested. 
Land values in the prime city fringe hot spots of Richmond and Cremorne, as well as nearby Collingwood and Abbotsford, have almost doubled in the last two years, from circa $5,000-$7,000 per square metre two years ago to north of $11,000 per square metre for Commercial 2 zoned land.
A nearby permit-approved, 1,579 square metre corner site at 71-93 Gipps Street in Collingwood has already attracted more than 100 enquiries and interest in the vicinity of $17 million.
It is an immediate development prospect for an 11 level, Hayball-designed office project.

EXPERT OBSERVER
Eight more Sydney councils are protesting about moves to simplify terrace house approvals.
What began as only two councils protesting about medium density plans for Sydney’s suburbs has now grown to ten concerned councils and more are likely to come. 
Canterbury Bankstown and Ryde councils have now been joined by Georges River, Sutherland, the Hills, Randwick, Strathfield, Lane Cove, Hawkesbury and the Northern Beaches councils all protesting about the NSW Government’s ‘missing middle’ medium density code.
The amazing thing about this is that the code is only for two storey homes and can only be applied where council plans allow medium density homes to be built. 
Strathfield Council, for example, does not allow any medium density housing so clearly the code is not relevant but the council is still out to protest. What seems to be happening is that councils are using the missing middle code as a proxy for over development and championing its rejection to save their residents from change.
With an election only ten months away the mood of the electorate is developing into an anti-growth, anti-change position with pressure from councils onto the state government. 
The Urban Taskforce is concerned that years of planning by the state government and the Greater Sydney Commission could all be overturned as the tensions from change make people nervous. But the city must change and we must not throw out long term planning because of short term tensions.” 
Sydney has a diverse community and this calls for a diversity of housing types from detached houses to town houses, terrace houses, low rise apartments to apartment towers. There will be different lifestyles related to each of these housing types and the state government must support all of the housing types in the most appropriate location for each type.
The Urban Taskforce believes the NSW Government should not back down on its planning policies as this will only encourage more councils and community groups to want further back downs. The government must support long term planning over short term back downs in a pre-election environment. 
CHRIS JOHNSON is the Urban Taskforce CEO.

There's whispers's one of Paddington's largest terrace homes has been purchased for around $7 million by Dr Naomi McCullum, the pioneer of non-surgical cosmetic medicine.
It is not far from her practice, The Manse Clinic.
The five bedroom Underwood Street residence, which last traded for $1.55 million in 1998, had a $7 million price guide through The Agency's Ben Collier, who secured the sale pre-auction.
The stately home on 475 sqm with swimming pool in its mature established gardens has retained its original heritage, so could get a makeover.
The traditional verandahs wrapping around all three levels have views down towards Rushcutters Bay.
It comes with over nine metres wide frontage at the end of the heritage row.

The retired litigation lawyer Peter Keel, a former Clayton Utz partner, and his wife Angela, have listed their McMahons Point home.
It is set for December 16 Stone auction.
It was 1999 when he couple commissioned Jon Johannsen to design the modernism <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-mcmahons+point-126782410" target="_blank">double sandstone residence</a> with five bedrooms. It comes with a pool on the double block.

The interior decorator, and eastern suburbs socialite, Janelle 'Nellie' Tilley is selling her Double Bay home.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-double+bay-124989562" target="_blank">Victorian terrace</a> appeared in Vogue Living in 2012, but it has been updated even more recently.
Near the heart of Double Bay village, the home blends contemporary with classic, with traditional facade and restored period features combined with custom upgrades and additions.
A flowing floor plan provides two distinct living areas.
An internal atrium with a soaring mosaic wall features, as well as an entertainers' balcony and rear courtyard.
Each of the three bedrooms have their own balcony, while an entry level home office can be set up as a fourth bedroom.
"It is an exquisite tapestry of bespoke executive finishes," listing agent Di Baker at Di Baker Prestige Properties said.
There is a price guide of $6.3 million to $6.9 million.
Her marketing highlighted Tilley's role in the marketing of the home.
Her prior work have been highlighted in the past marketing of the Point Piper apartment of former Goldman Sachs boss Simon Greenaway that fetched $3.2 million late last year.
There was also her decor in the three storey Paddington terrace of Credit Suisse managing director Paul Allen and his wife Liz Morgan which fetched $4,465,000 in 2014.
Tilley says the inspiration for her work comes from many varied places.
But she is totally in awe of all Parisian architecture and antiquities.
She also admire the 16th century Palladian villas. 
Tilley, a mother of three boys, is well known around the Eastern suburbs social circles, regularly appearing at red carpet events and charity fundraisers.
It cost Tilley $2.38 million in 2014 from Michael de Meaune.

What’s old is new again as urban designers look to the past to solve a modern challenge in Queensland’s booming housing markets.
Leading consultancy group RPS have suggested that individually designed freehold terrace homes were getting set to be the future of compact housing in Australia.
RPS Regional Technical Director of Urban Design Peter Egerton said people looking for affordable, low-maintenance homes in prime lifestyle areas such as the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast were finding the new innovations in compact housing ticked all the boxes.
The rear laneways of the modern terrace lots are the same dimensions as those of days gone by but instead of being used by dunny carts, these days they provide vehicle access to rear-facing garages. This allows increased vehicle parking or storage opportunities without affecting the aesthetic appeal of the home’s street front.
“The terrace homes are essentially freestanding houses with a 50 millimetre gap in between and a high density easement over the whole boundary to take care of maintenance requirements,” Peter Egerton said.
RPS has been at the forefront of creating game-changing solutions in compact housing for the past decade, working as the urban designer on projects that have pioneered the new concepts in terrace allotments such as Fitzgibbon Chase on Brisbane’s northside, CityVillage Terraces at Robina and Sunshine Cove on the Sunshine Coast.
Chardan Development Group’s Sunshine Cove at Maroochydore has recently received national kudos for its innovation in residential terrace allotments, taking out the Residential Development award at the 2016 UDIA National Awards for Excellence. 
Sunshine Cove’s first residential precinct was launched in 2010 and creativity and innovation were hallmarks of the project from the start.

History repeats with re-birth of the terrace home

<html><body>
The Surry Hills home of “the woman Sydney forgot” Natalie Jean Wood, whose remains were undiscovered for eight years after her death, has been put up for February 24 offsite auction.
Ms Wood was last confirmed seen in 2003 and not seen again until 2011.
Her decomposed body was found in the front bedroom of the Kippax Street terrace just short of what would have been her 87th birthday.
“That the death of a life long resident of a high density housing area should remain undiscovered until after all the flesh had rotted from her frail bones caused public disquiet,” the Coroner’s Report said.
The Kippax Street home was listed after the Supreme Court ruled Ms Wood’s sister-in-law Enid Davis would inherit the assets. 
The home, advertised as a dilapidated deceased estate, is a two-bedroom on 75 sqm at<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-surry+hills-121704902" target="_blank"> 139 Kippax Street, Surry Hills</a> that has an external bathroom and laundry.
Selling agent PRDnationwide Perez Real Estate’s Corrinne Olsen has noted buyer interest up to $700,000.
The history of the property is fully disclosed to buyers in the contract of sale.
Property records indicate 139 Kippax Street was initially purchased by her father.

Surry Hills terrace listing of "the woman Sydney forgot"

<html><body>
A time-warp in Sydney's Paddington is for sale, but only after a bizarre court case.
The dilapidated Paddington terrace at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-paddington-121762078" target="_blank">45 Iris Street</a> isn't difficult to spot with it's faded yellow facade drawing the eye.

The quirky interior walls are filled with quirky designs, some of which are hand drawn by the previous owner Christina Coombes who was an artist.
Christina passed away in 2013 and had owned the property for the last 40 years.
She bought the property with her late butcher husband Kenneth Coombes in 1965 for £3,200.
The terrace was in the limelight last year when an Iraqi refugee tried to claim the dank hovel, suggesting he was Christina's lover, cat minder and dancing partner for 17 years.
<img src="/images/2016/02/08/image4.jpg" alt="">
Christina's neighbours told the New South Wales Supreme Court that he was nothing more than a fruit and junk salesman who occasionally sold items to her.
It was discovered Waleed Sadiq never had a key, did not visit her in hospital, and failed to attend her funeral. He has been confirmed as living in Woolloomooloo.
The home is now under control of the NSW Trustee and Guardian who have had to seek a new certificate of title due to the last one being lost.
Christina was described as a bit of a recluse, which was no surprise considering the state of the home.
The advice from listing agent Adam McKay of the Di Jones agency is to bring a builder and an architect, because this property will need a lot of work.
There are two bedrooms, one bathroom and a rear courtyard.
Adam has said that he has received huge amounts of enquiry and had a great number of buyers through the first open on Saturday. 
He set a guide of $750,000 for the property which goes to auction on February 24.

"It is a very difficult terrace to put a price on as there will be a large variation as to what each buyer thinks it is worth.
"For instance, for those who are looking at the property to renovate and sell, they will be factoring in the cost of the works associated in order to get it ready for sale.
"However for the first home buyers who are excited at getting hold of a Paddington terrace at a discounted price, we may find that they push themselves further to secure the home and complete the renovations over a number of years," he said.
