Apartment developer Third.i has seen "overwhelming interest" in its recently unveiled new harbourside apartment project, The Rushcutters.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-rushcutters-51-57-bayswater-road-rushcutters-bay-nsw-2011">The Rushcutters</a>, which is being delivered in partnership with James Packer's NPACT, will comprise just 13 luxury two- and three-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

Demand is predominantly coming from local downsizers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144646 project_image_fid=351903]

“We’ve been absolutely blown away by the level of interest in The Rushcutters,” said Luke Berry, Director and Co-founder Third.i Group.

“It’s clear that buyers are seeking more than just a place to live, they’re looking for a lifestyle upgrade. The ability to amalgamate apartments into expansive, whole-floor homes is a game-changer for downsizers who want space without the maintenance of a traditional house.”

The Rubinstein Group is marketing the project alongside Hume Residential and JLL.

“It’s no surprise that if you’re downsizing from a five-bedroom house in Bellevue Hill, for example, you want to maintain that sense of space and luxury when looking for your next home, "&nbsp;Gavin Rubinstein, Founder of The Rubinstein Group, said.

“The Rushcutters is a great fit. Amalgamating apartments to create a bespoke, whole-floor home is a natural progression for buyers who aren’t willing to compromise on size and/or quality.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144646 project_image_fid=351901]

Amalgamating apartments has become a common theme among high-end buyers across Third.i's portfolio including Muse in Potts Point, and Elevate Hume Place in Crows Nest, which set a Lower North Shore apartment record with the $15.1 million sale of an amalgamation of a penthouse and sub-penthouse.

“We’re witnessing a clear shift towards more amalgamations in a number of our projects across Sydney,” said Jason Fraser, Principal at Woods Bagot.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144646 project_image_fid=351899]

“The ability to combine apartments is enabling buyers to create truly unique, house-sized residences with high-end finishes, and proximity to vibrant urban precincts. The desire to amalgamate apartments to bespoke, house-sized residences is becoming a defining feature of Sydney’s evolving luxury apartment market."

Due to the City of Sydney’s no net dwelling loss policy, Thirdi is only able to offer one level for amalgamation at The Rushcutters, combining two apartments into a single, expansive residence.

The Rushcutters a "great fit" for downsizers

Lower North Shore developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a> has secured development approval for its ultra-luxury residential project on the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/34-burran-avenue-mosman-nsw-2088">dress circle Burran Avenue</a>.

The project, just&nbsp;50 metres from Balmoral Beach within Mosman’s prestigious Golden Triangle, will commence construction in early 2026,&nbsp;following the successful completion of its nearby Hampden Mosman project.

Lodged in April 2025 and approved in September 2025, the development will comprise three whole-floor residences, each designed to capture panoramic harbour views through Sydney Heads.

<img alt="34 Burran Avenue, Mosman" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7f4c7816-0ac8-4ef7-be0a-8ef23b693b68" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/BURRAN%20EV01%20R04%20option%201%20%281%29.jpg?VersionId=gVzI8pT6_K59Nhzaz0FLEvY6Kj9Kc8Fg" />

Set on an elevated 550 sqm corner site at the junction of Burran Avenue and Stanton Road, the building has been designed to sit within Balmoral’s natural slope. The façade mixes stone and metal cladding with angular forms, while oversized terraces and full-height sliding doors create a connection between interior living spaces and outdoor entertaining areas.

The delivery team from Abadeen’s Hampden Mosman project, which includes construction company Reform Projects and interiors company Mathieson, has been retained to bring the same level of execution and craftsmanship to Burran Avenue.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/platform-architects">Platform Architects</a> has been appointed project architect, bringing extensive experience from recent luxury residential projects in Manly, Fairlight and Freshwater.

&nbsp;

Justin Brown, Executive Chairman and Founder of Abadeen, said sites of this calibre, this close to Balmoral, are incredibly rare.

“Burran Avenue is an extraordinary site; its location, its scale and its outlook make it truly one of a kind. Receiving DA approval marks an exciting milestone for Abadeen."

"We’re proud to be moving forward with an exceptional team to deliver a project that will set a new standard for ultra-luxury living on Sydney’s Lower North Shore. Construction is planned to commence in early 2026, and interest is already strong from discerning local buyers who recognise the uniqueness of this address."

Brown anticipates prices will set new Mosman benchmarks above $20 million. Sales are expected to launch in March 2026.

Abadeen approved for Mosman's priciest apartments

Lifestyle developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gurner">GURNER™ Group</a>, in partnership with Costa Property Group, has announced plans to reimagine Cunningham Pier in Geelong, one of Victoria's most recognisable heritage landmarks.

The announcement follows the City of Greater Geelong’s release of its Draft Geelong Waterfront Master Plan, which seeks to revitalise the waterfront with new energy, tourism, and investment. GURNER and Costa Property Group’s vision aligns with the Council’s ambitions to create a vibrant, connected, and economically powerful precinct for the community.&nbsp;

The future of Cunningham Pier will draw inspiration from Sydney Harbour’s luxury waterfront residences through to Dubai’s sculptural pier-edge towers, blending architectural excellence with &nbsp;resort-style living, hospitality, and public amenity.&nbsp;

The concept, described as “Saint Moritz on the Sea”, is envisioned to include:&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>Six-star hotel accommodation and services&nbsp;</li>
	<li>World-class restaurants, bars, and public spaces&nbsp;</li>
	<li>High-end residential offerings&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Entertainment and cultural venues&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Potential cruise ship port facilities, integrating Geelong into the global travel network&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

The transformative project aims to become a magnet for tourism, investment, and innovation, while &nbsp;ensuring continued public access and connection to Corio Bay’s pristine waterfront.&nbsp;

Cunningham Pier has been operated by Costa Property Group for more than 15 years, with the City of Greater Geelong expressing strong support for strategic commercial partnerships that unlock &nbsp;tourism-led economic development for the region’s fast-growing population.&nbsp;

Tim Gurner, Founder &amp; Executive Chairman, GURNER™ Group, said the project is a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to put Geelong on the global map," adding that their version will be of what icons like the Opera House, Story Bridge or Empire State Building have done for other great cities.

“We’ll be working hand-in-hand with the Mayor, Council, the local community, and State Government to deliver something truly iconic that positions Geelong on the world stage. This project brings together everything we’ve built our brand on – world-class design, hospitality, &nbsp;lifestyle, and experience – all in one place. From six-star hotels and restaurants to the possibility of a &nbsp;new cruise ship terminal and luxury residences, the vision is extraordinary.”&nbsp;

City of Greater Geelong&nbsp;Mayor Stretch Kontelj said he welcomes the "bold and inspiring vision reimagining our beloved Cunnigham Pier as a global destination."

"This ambitious plan and the opening of Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre next year have the potential to take our already world-class waterfront to even greater heights.”

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bates-smart">Bates Smart</a> is one of Melbourne's longest standing architecture firms.

Founded in Melbourne in 1853 by Joseph Reed, the firm began as Reed &amp; Barnes and has evolved through various partnerships before adopting the Bates Smart name in the 20th century. With a continuous presence spanning more than 170 years, the practice has played a pivotal role in shaping Melbourne’s architectural identity.

In the 19th century, Bates Smart designed several of Melbourne’s enduring landmarks, including the Royal Exhibition Building (1880), a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the Melbourne Town Hall. The firm’s influence continued into the 20th century with notable works such as Ici House (1958), considered Melbourne’s first modern skyscraper and a milestone in post-war Australian architecture.

One of their landmark designs was&nbsp;The First Church of Christ, Scientist, at 336-340 St Kilda Road. The building, which is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, was designed by Bates, Peeble and Smart with construction completed in 1922. Architecturally, the building is significant as a rare example of early twentieth century classicism applied to a religious building. Historically, the building is significant as the first church of the Christian Science movement.

Melbourne developer Time &amp; Place decided to bring Bates Smart back to the area to design their next residential apartment project, Park Modern.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138453 project_image_fid=2138]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/park-modern-south-melbourne-1-middleton-lane-south-melbourne-vic-3205">Park Modern</a>, on one of the largest island sites on the Melbourne CBD fringe, bordered by Dorcas Street, Wells Street, and Middleton Lane, will comprise two sculptural towers. It is being positioned as a design-forward response to evolving owner-occupier preferences in the Domain precinct.

Tim Price, Director at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/time-place">Time &amp; Place</a>, says&nbsp;Bates Smart have got a footprint on this city, probably like no other architect.

"It’s a really nice kind of next chapter story, that they created from a design perspective so long ago," Price told Apartments.com.au.

Park Modern will be the third time Time &amp; Place has worked with Bates Smart, having successfully designed and delivered Collins House and Opera on St Kilda Road together.

The brief focused on creating a built form that would feel contextually appropriate while offering a contemporary evolution of inner-city apartment living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138453 project_image_fid=2137]

The focus for Park Modern is squarely on owner-occupiers.

“It’s not always about downsizing," Price says.

"Sometimes it’s just about creating a space which is easily maintained, lock up and leave, reflecting people’s aspirations, whether they’re entertainers, big dining room spaces, big open terraces, they’re important parts of any design consideration.”

The building includes a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as penthouses, with layouts and floor plans designed to suit a broad demographic. The architecture has been shaped to capture&nbsp;view corridors to the Botanic Gardens, Port Phillip Bay and the CBD skyline.

Each apartment has been oriented to maximise natural light and provide a clear outlook, elements often cited by owner-occupiers as key criteria.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138453 project_image_fid=351806]

Rather than defaulting to a generic luxury offering, the amenity strategy at Park Modern reflects specific insights into how residents want to live. The ground floor will include co-working areas, wellness facilities, and a concierge-led lobby that blends indoor and outdoor design cues.

“Wellness has become a more thoughtful consideration, not just gyms or lap pools, but things like magnesium plunge pools, saunas, daybeds, and studio spaces for Pilates and the regular cardio workout,” says Price.

One notable inclusion is a substantial porte-cochère, a covered vehicle drop-off zone integrated into the site plan. It’s a feature rarely seen in inner-urban developments and speaks to the team’s emphasis on ease of arrival and departure for residents and guests.

A display suite for Park Modern is now open by appointment, giving prospective buyers an early look at the project.

100 years on, Bates Smart returns to South Melbourne's Domain Precinct to design Park Modern

One of the most significant beachfront projects ever proposed for the small suburb of Miami on the Gold Coast, has taken a major step forward.&nbsp;Monaco Property Group has secured approval for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nalu-miami-122-marine-parade-qld-4220">NALU</a>, a $500 million development comprising just 45 ultra-luxury residences on the iconic former Nobby’s Outlook site.

Acquired by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/monaco-property-group">Monaco Property Group</a> in 2024 for $70 million, the rare 7,238 sqm Marine Parade parcel boasts more than 80 metres of uninterrupted ocean frontage.

With approvals now secured, Monaco Property Group will move NALU into its delivery phase. The project has been designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, who collaborated with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/ldg-landscape-architecture">LDG Landscape Architecture</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/tom-mark-henry">Tom Mark Henry Interiors</a>&nbsp;to create the low-rise building, its landscaping, and interiors.

<img alt="NALU" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3fdf578e-7cc4-4b17-bbc2-ba853522a5d8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/122_Marine_Parade_002.jpg?VersionId=zFhJWVzX0jmCO.5iIIxNELImHesTjWS4" />

Residences will range from 237 sqm layouts to beachfront homes exceeding 1,400 sqm.

At the heart of the project is a 2,200 sqm lifestyle precinct with a bathhouse, fitness centre and resort-style pool, elevated by a concierge service.

Jonathan Grasso, Co-Founder of Monaco Property Group, said the council approval marks an exciting milestone for NALU, which will launch in Q1 2026.

“The project will now progress toward construction, working alongside our world-class collaborators to bring NALU to life," Grasso said.

“Our vision is to create a legacy project for the Gold Coast, one that not only honours the history of the site but also elevates its future, setting a new standard for coastal living in Australia. NALU embodies the pinnacle of design and location and will stand as an enduring icon of prestige and liveability.”

<img alt="NALU" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6ae8545b-87ca-4dea-90ed-ac273ec6515d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Image7.jpg?VersionId=Wnmie4bu3x2WQonnG4Pwmh39NdZVKeOV" />

Originally developed in the 1970s as Nobby’s Outlook and later refurbished in 2019 as Nalu, the property has long held a place in the local community’s coastal identity. The new vision will build on this legacy, creating luxury residences that capture ocean views while fostering a lifestyle defined by wellness, connection, and ease.&nbsp;

Beyond its residential offering, NALU will deliver significant economic benefits to the Gold Coast through job creation and opportunities for local suppliers and contractors. Construction is anticipated to commence in early 2026, with completion expected in Q3 2028.

Inside Frater Group's Carnegie townhomes

The popular New South Wales property developer&nbsp;Third.i has launched the last remaining homes in its luxurry Paragon of Pyrmont project.

The $113 million project, which officially wrapped up construction of its 31 residences in 2021, has just two homes remaining.

The final townhouses have three and four-bedrooms and are priced between $3.95 million and $4.5 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5761 project_image_fid=198493]

The project is a rare offering for the suburb, largely dominated by apartment living.

According to the most recent Australian Bureau of Statistics data from 2016, over 92 per cent of available dwellings in Pyrmont consisted of apartments and units with just 6.5 per cent townhouse dwellings available.

The buyers so far in Paragon of Pyrmont have mostly been downsizers and owner-occupiers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5761 project_image_fid=198491]

Third.i&nbsp;Co-Founder and Director of Sales and Marketing Luke Berry says the remaining townhouses won&rsquo;t last long in a hungry market.

&ldquo;Paragon of Pyrmont is the epitome of spacious and luxury living in the epicentre of the city of Sydney,&quot; Berry said.

&quot;We are thrilled to see our final two residences hit the market and couldn&rsquo;t be prouder of the calibre we have created with the project in tailoring it to suit all buyer lifestyles.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5761 project_image_fid=198490]

&ldquo;Buyers will feel the quality and consideration given to the project the minute they walk through the front door. We have combined city living and spacious living to create the ultimate residence in a suburb renowned for apartment and unit offerings.

&ldquo;Buyers are drawn to the uniqueness of townhomes available in Pyrmont and the fact these final residences are complete and ready to move into makes the listings even more desirable.&rdquo;

Each townhouse is kitted out with high-end Gaggenau appliances, a smart home system that can be access remotely, and an entertainment unit with a hydraulic television lift. There&#39;s also private lift access direct from the garage, which is met by a wine room with storage for around 250 bottles.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5761 project_image_fid=198494]

Crowning each townhouse is a private rooftop terrace, complete with an outdoor kitchen and watering system for green, lush gardens, as well as a sundeck which benefits from city top views.

&ldquo;Paragon of Pyrmont just has it all in terms of spacious living, high-end amenities, access to local shops and transport, all while situated in the heart of Sydney with some of the most famous harbour views the city has to offer,&quot; Berry added.

&quot;This is a project Third.i will forever be proud of and joins our growing list of legacy projects for generations to come.&quot;

Sydney house prices continued their surge over&nbsp;January, with&nbsp;affordability issues continuing to plague prospective buyers in the city&rsquo;s inner suburbs. &nbsp;

Growing house prices are pushing more and more home buyers in to the apartment sector, with many looking at the value in off the plan apartments, with small deposits before completion, and room for value growth while the apartments are being developed.

Urban has had&nbsp;a look at the best off-the-plan apartments for sale in Sydney&rsquo;s inner-city suburbs.

<h2>1. Waterfall by Crown 
Developer: Crown Group</h2>

Heran Building Group has introduced their luxury four-bedroom townhomes in Burdell, North Shore Residences.

&ldquo;North Shore is a place where a better lifestyle comes naturally, where neighbours know each other by name and the daily essentials are already just moments from your doorstep&rdquo;, the developers said.

Located in a growing Townsville suburb, Burdell is increasingly in demand due to its reputation as a safe, friendly and conveniently located area.

Priced from $372,900, each four-bedroom home features two bathrooms, double lock-up garages, and a modern kitchen with&nbsp;stone benchtops and&nbsp;European appliances, including a stainless-steel multifunction oven, cook-top, rangehood and stainless-steel dishwasher.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106962 project_image_fid=170457]

Each townhome has a&nbsp;fully-fenced private yard.

Within the development is a communal&nbsp;swimming pool and ample visitor parking.

Ducted air-conditioning is built into the homes, as are&nbsp;roller blinds and venetians.

Only 15 minutes to the Townsville CBD, North Shore is cleverly positioned for strong ongoing demand thanks to its proximity to important hubs including employment, education, major shopping, arterial roads, and public transport.

Burdell feeds directly into the growing employment node of Townsville and surrounding suburbs via Woolcock St.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106962 project_image_fid=170458]

Richmond is renowned for its many lifestyle offerings and Lendlease&rsquo;s new townhouse development, Gramercy Terraces, is within a short walk from all of them.

Located just four kilometres from the heart of Melbourne, Richmond is known for its Swan Street dining scene, walking trails along the Yarra and the shopping of nearby Hawthorn.

Gramercy, which is situated at 38 Bendigo Street, builds upon the multi-generational precinct&rsquo;s rich cultural history.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95458 project_image_fid=169945]

Constructed in 1908, the original building was home to the Wertheim Piano Factory, the brand of choice for several famous performers of the time, including Australian operatic soprano, Dame Nellie Melba.

Around 18,000 pianos were manufactured at the site before the onset of the Great Depression in 1935.

With a history spanning the industries of music, food and entertainment, the site was reinvented by another icon, Channel Nine Studios, at the advent of television.

<img alt="" height="722" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2021-08-12_at_6.38.26_pm.png" width="1054" />

GTV 9 was Melbourne&rsquo;s second commercial station, dubbed &lsquo;Television City&rsquo;, an homage to CBS&rsquo; famous studio in the US which went by the same name.

Some of Australia&rsquo;s most iconic television shows there up until 2010, including The Don Lane Show, Hey Hey It&rsquo;s Saturday and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. 

Gramercy Terraces&rsquo; namesake is a nod to music legends and the rich musical history of the site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95458 project_image_fid=169947]

&ldquo;[Grammercy is] not just a name, but a word synonymous with music greats and a grand Manhattan hotel with an inspiring rooftop terrace vibe&rdquo;, Lendlease said.

Urban takes a look at three of the featured floorplans still available at the Richmond project

Floorplan focus: The last available townhouse configurations at Richmond’s Gramercy Terraces

Sixth Ave is the latest Bayside development by the Aultun Group, who pride themselves on identifying development sites close to desirable amenities.

The 59 townhouse development in the sought-after Chelsea Heights&nbsp;has been designed in keeping with its Bayside location&nbsp;by Point Architects. Led by Edgar Grech, Sixth Ave was the first project in the area.

Urban recently sat down with Point Architects director Edgar Grech to discuss&nbsp;the design details of Sixth Ave.

JR: What was the brief of Sixth Ave from Aultun Group?&nbsp;

EG: To develop an open plan neighbourhood community that has active street presence. It was also important to develop efficient two&nbsp;and three&nbsp;bedroom housing for all cross sections of the community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=32136 project_image_fid=93835]

JR: Where did you take your inspiration from?

EG: Our inspiration was taken from a contemporary design approach&nbsp;

JR: What was the biggest challenge when designing Sixth Ave?

EG: Ensuring that the internal amenity had opportunity for substantial landscaping, that every residence had a sense of address and most dwellings provided the opportunity to have a backyard and sense of place.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=32136 project_image_fid=93832]

JR: What do you think buyers will like most about the design?

EG: The development provides design variety in dwelling sizes and bedroom numbers. It&rsquo;s not a generic one type design in floor plan and facade.&nbsp;

JR: How important was matching the townhouses to fit in with the Bayside suburb?

EG: It fits in form and scale, however, it provides a modern approach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=32136 project_image_fid=93831]

JR: How important was it to have sustainability features in the Sixth Ave townhomes?

EG: Sustainability is what we all want. We feel this is not an option but an integral part of the design.

JR: Which part of the project are you most looking forward to seeing when completed?

EG: Apart from the architecture, the openness and ease of movement of the development.

The Melbourne developer Monolith saw a flurry of sales following the launch of its Waverley Village development in Mulgrave in south east Melbourne.

They have secured over 80 per cent of sales in just two days, with just a handful of townhouses remaining of the 28 offered.

It was local first home buyers who drove the sales, Monolith's sales and marketing manager Tyler Guo said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4046]

Guo said that the the main attraction which has been driving enquiry and buyers is the architecture and design of the townhouses, as well as the affordable price point.

Another likely driver for buyers according to Guo was that Waverley Village is the last undeveloped piece of land in Mulgrave where it is possible to build a community-style development.

Designed by Parallel Workshop Architects, the three bedroom townhouses are priced from around $770,000, with first home buyers will to pay up to $835,000 for the top-end three bedroom residences.

The four bedroom townhouses were mainly picked up by downsizers, with priced ranging between $915,000 to $990,000.

<a href="/new-townhouses/waverley-place-mulgrave-149-hansworth-street-mulgrave-vic-3170"><img alt="" height="739" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/waverley_village_3.jpg" width="1600"></a>

The speed of the near sell out has prompted Monolith to fast-track stage two of Waverley Village, two apartment towers comprising 100 units.

It will be the same concept for Monolith, targeting first home buyers with an affordable entry point and offering a high spec design of the apartments. 

The towers, which will be in keeping with the townhouse design, will be between seven and eight levels tall. They will home a number of amenities which the townhome residents will also have access to.

Sales were initially slated to start at the start of next year, but Guo says it will likely be before the year is out.
