Designed by global architecture practice <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>, long-term collaborators of the Coronation team, the project draws inspiration from the Sydney Blue Gum High Forest and the leafy character of the South Chatswood Heritage Conservation Area.

Aras Labutis, Head of Urban Transformation at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/coronation-property">Coronation Property</a>, said the project reflects a disciplined, collaborative approach to city shaping.&nbsp;

“Chatswood sits at an important junction between high-density commercial activity and established residential &nbsp;neighbourhoods," Labutis said.

"Our focus for Archer &amp; Albert was to manage that transition carefully, respecting what’s already there &nbsp;while contributing something new that feels deliberate and enduring."

Coronation receives green light for Archer & Albert apartments in Chatswood

Leading Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a>, in partnership with Metrics Credit Partners, has officially broken ground on its landmark $1.8 billion Kings Bay Village project in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/five-dock-nsw-2046">Five Dock</a>, marking the beginning of construction on one of the most significant urban renewal precincts within the Parramatta Road Corridor.

A sod-turning ceremony was held at the project site on Parramatta Road, with NSW Premier Chris Minns and NSW Planning Minister Paul Scully joining Deicorp Chairman Fouad Deiri OAM and Metrics CEO and Managing Partner Andrew Lockhart, to mark the significant milestone.

Located at 129-154 Parramatta Road, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-five-dock-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> will transform more than three hectares of underutilised land into a highly connected new neighbourhood comprising 1,185 homes, including 218 affordable dwellings for essential workers, alongside new retail, commercial, and community spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146120 project_image_fid=356895]

Designed by award-winning architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/turner-studio">TURNER</a>, the precinct blends crafted brick architecture with a pedestrian-focused urban layout across six buildings of varying scale. The project will deliver 14,700sqm of retail and commercial space, 6,500sqm of public open space, and a new 2,290sqm landscaped park and civic plaza that will form the social heart of the community.

Kings Bay Village is positioned minutes from the future Five Dock Metro Station, supporting the NSW Government and City of Canada Bay Council’s shared ambition for a more connected, liveable and revitalised Parramatta Road Corridor. Deicorp will also contribute more than $80 million towards new and upgraded local infrastructure, including pedestrian laneways, an activated streetscape and significant public domain works.

Fouad Deiri OAM, Chairman of Deicorp, said Kings Bay Village represents a defining opportunity for Sydney’s Inner West.

&nbsp;“Today marks the beginning of a precinct that will deliver lasting benefits for the Five Dock community - new homes, new open spaces, and a vibrant mixed-use environment that brings people closer to transport, services and amenities,"&nbsp;Deiri says.

“We are proud to be delivering much-needed housing, including affordable homes for essential workers, in partnership with the NSW Government and the City of Canada Bay. Kings Bay Village is urban renewal at its best - thoughtful, connected and community-focused.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146120 project_image_fid=356894]

Metrics CEO and Managing Partner Andrew Lockhart said the company is proud to support more housing and infrastructure in a key Sydney corridor. 
&nbsp; 
“Metrics and Deicorp share a proven track record of delivering high-impact projects that align closely with the NSW Government’s housing and infrastructure priorities. Kings Bay Village marks our most significant Sydney development to date, offering quality homes, essential infrastructure, and dynamic public spaces.” 
&nbsp; 
“This project reflects our ongoing commitment to creating value by supporting economic growth, job creation, and delivering excellent outcomes for our investors,” he said.

With Kings Bay Village now underway, Deicorp’s pipeline of apartments under construction across Sydney has increased to 5,102. Kings Bay Village is scheduled for completion in Q2 of 2029.

When Antoinette Chan and her architect husband, Peter began casually searching for an investment property, they weren’t expecting it to evolve into a life-changing family decision.

But one visit to the display suite of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a>’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/koyo-crows-nest-1-11-rodborough-avenue-crows-nest-nsw-2065">KOYO</a> development in Crows Nest changed everything, and sparked a remarkable story of three generations choosing to live side by side in one of the suburb's most architecturally-striking new developments.

Antoinette, her mother Janet Khoo, and her sister, who is currently living in Singapore, each purchased an apartment in the same building, creating a rare and meaningful multi-generational living arrangement underpinned by modern design, community values, and premium convenience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356083]

“It wasn’t planned,” says Antoinette, who purchased a three-bedroom garden apartment with her husband and teenage daughter. “Peter came across KOYO and encouraged me to visit because he had a lot of respect for Abadeen’s previous work. As soon as we saw it, we knew it wasn’t just an investment, this was a home.”

Shortly after, Antoinette suggested her mother, Janet Khoo, take a look at the same development. A long-time inner-city resident who had recently sold her property in The Rocks, Janet had experienced some health setbacks and was contemplating a move closer to her daughter.

“I walked into the display apartment, and it just felt right,” says Janet. “I didn’t look anywhere else. The space, the simplicity of the design, the light, everything gave me a sense of peace. It’s a new beginning, but it also feels like home.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356093]

In a stroke of serendipity, Janet selected the two-bedroom apartment next door to her daughter, completely unaware of Antoinette’s purchase. Around the same time, Antoinette’s sister, who resides in Singapore, viewed the property via a virtual tour and chose to buy the apartment directly above Janet’s.

“We were all drawn to KOYO individually, and it just happened that our homes ended up vertically stacked, ground, first, and second floor,” Antoinette laughs. “It was a coincidence, but also a sign. This is where we’re meant to be.”

Designed by celebrated architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/koichi-takada-architects">Koichi Takada</a>, KOYO delivered on all fronts for the Chan-Khoo family.

“Our garden apartment gives us the feel of a standalone home but with none of the maintenance,” says Antoinette. “All three bedrooms open onto a generous private garden, which is perfect for our dog Archie, and for entertaining. The open-plan layout and high ceilings make it feel airy, calm and luxurious.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356092]

For Janet, security and accessibility were top priorities, and KOYO offered the ideal balance.

“At my age, I didn’t want to be climbing stairs,” she explains. “The first-floor apartment opens directly to the garden, and the building is small, which gives it a more personal, village-like feel. Yet I’m just steps away from my daughter and granddaughter. That gives me so much peace of mind.”

The family also appreciated the thoughtful amenities that avoided the excesses of some larger developments.

“We didn’t want a complex with too many facilities we wouldn’t use,” explains Antoinette. “KOYO has everything we need, generous storage, secure parking, beautifully landscaped walkways, and a stunning rooftop terrace with BBQ facilities that feels serene rather than busy.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=355428]

The location was another critical factor in the family’s decision. Though they had always lived closer to Sydney’s eastern suburbs, Antoinette says the transformation of Crows Nest was a revelation.

“When we returned from living overseas, we discovered Crows Nest had become this vibrant, walkable hub,” she says. “We love being able to stroll to cafés, restaurants, and shops on Willoughby Road. The new Metro makes the commute into the CBD effortless, and our daughter can walk to her school, it’s just next door."

Janet agree. “I was worried about giving up my inner-city lifestyle, but I’ve fallen in love with this area. It has everything I need, supermarkets, quiet streets, friendly faces, and it’s all a short walk away. I feel safe, independent, and connected.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356085]

While design and location were important, the family also credits their decision to Abadeen’s reputation and responsiveness. With decades of experience delivering high-quality residential projects, Abadeen’s track record helped build trust during a volatile market period.

“The waiting game was tough, especially after selling my old apartment,” says Janet. “But the Abadeen team kept me updated every step of the way. They were professional, courteous, and transparent.”

Antoinette said Peter works in property and had already heard of Abadeen. "The quality of their work really impressed us, and as the project neared completion, they went above and beyond to keep us informed and supported. That level of communication is rare.”

Only a handful of three-bedroom residences remain for sale, priced from $3.5 million.

Sydney-based developer Gold Partners Australia is making its move on the Gold Coast, launching what is one of the most affordable towers to the booming Broadbeach market.

Its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/harmony-on-broadbeach-2797-gold-coast-highway-broadbeach-qld-4218">Harmony on Broadbeach</a> project, just 400m from the beach, has prices starting from $975,000 for its two-bedroom apartments that measure nearly 90 sqm internally.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113098 project_image_fid=355607]

There will be 113 two- and three-bedroom apartments spread out across the 33-storey tower on the 1,201 sqm site that will front First Avenue. Gold Partners Australia, which has delivered several major projects in Sydney's Norwest and has an active pipeline with projects in Hornsby and Carlingford, secured the block vacant, and want to start preliminary site works early next year through their in-house construction capability.

DBI Architects designed the tower with a four-level podium which will have an open-air swimming pool, sun deck, outdoor lounges, alfresco dining spaces, and a gym with adjoining yoga lawn. A hospitality venue will anchor the building at street level.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113098 project_image_fid=355611]

Olympus Property Group is selling Harmony on Broadbeach on behalf of Gold Partners Australia. Olympus Director Deanna Lockett says the project is resonating with everyone from locals, investors, those moving from interstate, and second home buyers from Brisbane.

"There's been nothing new come to the market in Broadbeach at this price point for nearly a year," Lockett recalls. "It hits the sweet spot of affordability, good sized apartments, in a great location."

Construction will commence in Q2 2026, and wrap up, all going well, by the end of 2028.

Display apartments play a crucial role in helping buyers imagine how a space will look and feel once complete.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-albertine-by-mirvac-melbourne-31-queens-lane-melbourne-vic-3004">The Albertine</a> in Melbourne, development giant Mirvac has partnered with furniture maker and retailer MCM House to create a fully furnished, full-scale prototype that showcases the proportions, finishes, and design intent of the project’s three-bedroom residences.

As an added incentive, purchasers of any two- or three-bedroom apartment can receive up to $50,000 worth of MCM House furniture, allowing them to curate their new home with the same craftsmanship, contemporary design, and aesthetic showcased in the display apartment.

Oversized sofas, solid timber dining tables, and relaxed, low-profile seating demonstrate how the space accommodates real furniture, helping buyers clearly visualise how their new apartment could look, complete with pieces that genuinely suit the scale and design of the home.

The styling is simple but deliberate, with materials that pick up on the apartment’s natural light and neutral tones, creating cohesion without crowding the space.

Mirvac is now welcoming buyers through the display at The Albertine. Quietly yet conveniently positioned just off St Kilda Road on Queens Road, the development has attracted strong interest from inner-Melbourne and Bayside downsizers, professional couples seeking luxurious low-maintenance living, and design-focused buyers who want proximity to the CBD.

Apartments have been designed by Mirvac's inhouse design team with owner-occupiers at the forefront.&nbsp;The living and dining areas open directly onto a balcony, reinforcing the project’s emphasis on indoor-outdoor flow, while kitchens feature integrated appliances and soft-curve cabinetry which mirror the larger architectural themes at play throughout the building.

Mat Steinwede, the three time winner of the McGrath agent of the year award, has subsequently revealed that being number one in the network didn't mean much to him.
"For the first time, it's quite meaningless to me, and I don't quite know why" Steinwede said during his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-rPZ-0fRpM" target="_blank">podcast</a>, adding that "in the beginning I liked to be number 1, but... when you get there, there's not much there."
He expressed that what drove him was the purpose of doing a great job, and being number one became a side effect. It was in a podcast with Geoff Jowett the high performance mindset coach.
"It's sort of like what's going to drive me now," Steinwede said.
The father of six said that it was important to remain grounded and that his family, friends and leisure time were just as important to be balanced and effective.
During the podcast Mat agreed, you've gotta strive coming from love, not fear and that you have to be grateful for every opportunity. 
He emotionally expressed his gratitude during the 2017 McGrath Award presentation when he was announced as the agency's top performer.
"25 years ago I sent a video tape to John McGrath asking if he would meet with me" and that two weeks later when McGrath called me back.
"That meeting changed my life," he said in 2017.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2019/7/30/McGrath%20Awards%20Night%202019.JPG" alt="">
Steinwede describes his goals and challenges when he began with a passion.
"I remember when I first joined Mcgrath, I saw the top ten agents on a slide, and I got a copy of that slide and put myself as number one in my vision book. Not for any reason, I just wanted to achieve that." 
He says he faced innumerable hardships "bumps" on his road to becoming number one but his "goal was bigger than the challenges."
Despite being based in Terrigal on the NSW Central Coast, he has remarkably consistently outperformed agents across the McGrath Network, including the pricier Sydney eastern suburbs and lower north shore.
"Its not an easy thing to do, especially in a place like Terrigal.
"It's like being in a country town basket ball team and beating Michael Jordan in a way," he added jovially.
As a follower of Esther Hicks, he is a big proponent of '<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaNCrB2rMH8" target="_blank">The Law of Attraction</a>'.
"If you can continually make sure you are on the upscale, passionate happy etc, your life has to go on the upside."
"You are the one in control of what comes to you, the world matches what you put out."
"You have the absolute ability to put out the right energy and have it come back to you," he firmly stated.
John McGrath himself speaks highly of Mat, "He's the real deal."

Savills sells Terrigal restaurant and apartment for $3.35 million

Parramatta Eels legend Peter &#39;Sterlo&#39; Sterling and his wife Selina appear set to downsize to Terrigal having sold their longtime Central Coast acreage.

They are tipped as buying a two level $1 million townhouse overlooking bushland in a gated community of 59 townhouses with extensive use of stone and timber along with a resort style pool with BQQ amenities.

It is three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164850]

Sterling, who has had ongoing NRL commentary commitments with Channel 9, has been at the home on the Central Coast since the mid-1990s.

It was in 1997 when two lots totalling over three hectares were bought for $495,000.

There&#39;s been no price disclosure, but buyers were being asked for offers between $3 million and $3.3 million.

Surrounded by tropical gardens, the home has four bedrooms, a media room and an office space.

A verandah wraps around the home, while the master suite, complete with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, has its own private decking.

An infinity pool, entertainment area with built-in barbecue and outdoor kitchen, as well as a number of horse paddocks, sit in the grounds.&nbsp;

Sterling was introduced to the Central Coast by good mate Paul Taylor, having played together in Parramatta&#39;s first rugby league premiership side in 1981.

Taylor then played and coached for The Entrance in the twilight years of his league career before shifting to Queensland.&nbsp;

The couple first spent a year on a property in neighbouring Holgate, all the time looking for a special piece of the Central Coast they could call home.&nbsp;

&quot;Selina and I drove around all over the place,&quot; Sterling recalled in a 2002 profile which added that his dad and sister were at nearby Killarney Vale.

Sterlo owned for a few years in Collaroy until 1997 and before that had been at Castle Hill.

&quot;When we came into Matcham I said &#39;I&#39;d really like to live here one day.&quot;

Just 12 months later he was - on eight-and-a-half acres of private, rolling hillside with enough room for the horses and an environment perfect for raising children.

&quot;I look out there now and I see the value in what we&#39;ve done,&quot; he said long before it was worth its current $3 million plus.

&quot;Life doesn&#39;t get much better than this,&quot; he once said.

&quot;A lot of people think that I spend most of my time away from home with my television commitments and so on, but that&#39;s not true,&nbsp;I spend most of my time here.

He said he and Selina are real home bodies.

&quot;We&#39;re not real beach people, although we do get down to Wamberal a fair bit during summer.&quot;

Sterlo, one of the all-time great halfbacks, was a major influence in the Eels dominance in the 1980s.

He played 227 games for the Eels, winning four Premierships.

He represented The Blues in the State of Origin 13 times and was inducted into the ARL Hall of Fame in 2006.

Sterlo started his commentary career with Western Sydney radio station 2WS and Channel 10, before moving to the Nine Network.

He later went on to host The Sunday Footy Show, anchoring the program from the show&#39;s inception in 1993 until the end of the 2015 season when Yvonne Sampson took the reins.

He was co-host of Nine&#39;s The NRL Footy Show for 12 years alongside Paul Vautin and currently hosts&nbsp; Nine&#39;s Thursday Night Football&nbsp;and&nbsp;On the Couch with Sterlo.&nbsp;
