A long-awaited transformation of a former industrial site in Holroyd has been given the green light, with the NSW Government approving the $1.2 billion Crescent Parklands masterplan that will deliver more than 1,200 new homes just south of Parramatta.

The State Significant Development approval clears the way for a large-scale mixed-use precinct at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1-crescent-street-holroyd-nsw-2142">1 Crescent Street</a>, replacing an underutilised site with a coordinated residential community anchored by new open space, retail, and commercial uses.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> for WA-based developer Tiberius, the approved scheme comprises seven buildings arranged across two precincts. In total, the development will deliver 1,227 apartments, including 201 allocated as affordable housing, alongside approximately 2,500 sqm of retail and 5,000 sqm of commercial space within a mixed-use podium.

<img alt="Tiberius’ Crescent Parklands to deliver 1,200+ homes in major Holroyd transformation" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1cc82dd2-8184-4b86-8665-90653147820d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Crescent%20buildings.png?VersionId=2ZmVDc_Rfc4AzQ6ShzZJlvdZnACLerVM" />

The project is structured as a masterplanned precinct rather than a standalone tower. Buildings 1 to 4 will rise from a shared podium with shop-top housing, while Buildings 5 to 7 are positioned closer to the northern park interface as residential flat buildings. The built form has been carefully modulated to balance density with amenity, with the design resolving building separation, solar access, and wind impacts at a precinct scale.

A significant focus of the design is the activation of Crescent Street and the integration of public domain. The submission notes that “individual townhouses [were] removed for community based functions to Crescent Street to increase activation and surveillance,” reinforcing a more urban and publicly engaged street edge. Retail, commercial tenancies, and resident amenity spaces are concentrated along this frontage and within the podium to support day-to-day activity.

The landscape strategy underpins the project’s identity, with a network of pedestrian connections, landscaped corridors, and open spaces linking the site internally and to its surroundings. The design prioritises permeability, delivering “increased uninterrupted flow between spaces for pedestrian access” and improved connections through to the adjoining parklands.

Buildings within the western precinct are oriented toward the park, shaping a residential offering defined by proximity to open space. The design describes this approach as creating apartments “immersed in nature with apartments facing the park,” positioning the landscape as a central organising element of the masterplan.

The broader architectural response addresses both infrastructure and context, with taller elements capturing long-range views toward Parramatta while setbacks and separation distances mitigate impacts on surrounding residential areas. Sustainability initiatives, including solar optimisation, cross-ventilation, and integrated landscape systems, are embedded across the scheme.

Located approximately one kilometre south of Parramatta CBD, the 3.6-hectare site is bounded by Crescent Street, Woodville Road, and Holroyd Sportsground. It benefits from strong access to public transport, including nearby bus routes and train stations, and sits within a rapidly evolving corridor earmarked for increased residential density. The design also strengthens connections between surrounding green spaces, including Holroyd Sportsground and Parramatta Parklands.

The approval follows several years of planning, including a rezoning process that enabled significant uplift in height and density across the site. With determination now secured, Crescent Parklands is positioned to play a major role in delivering new housing supply within Greater Parramatta’s growth area.

Tiberius’ Crescent Parklands to deliver over 1,200 homes in major Holroyd transformation

A new State Significant Development application has been lodged over land at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/33-43-marion-street-parramatta-nsw-2150">33–43 Marion Street</a>, Parramatta, proposing a high-rise mixed-use tower that leverages planning incentives to deliver a substantial pipeline of new housing, including a dedicated affordable component.

The scheme, currently on exhibition, combines a shop-top housing development with a concurrent rezoning, positioning the site for a significant uplift in density within Parramatta’s evolving southern CBD fringe.

The proposal, designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fuse-architecture-0">Fuse Architects</a> for CN Marion, would replace the existing buildings with a 37-storey mixed-use tower, delivering 296 apartments above a retail podium with six basement levels on the 2,376 sqm site.

The residential mix comprises 58 one-bedroom, 207 two-bedroom, and 31 three-bedroom apartments, with communal facilities located on the second level and the rooftop. Ground-level activation is driven by retail and food and beverage tenancies, alongside a publicly accessible through-site link designed to improve pedestrian permeability.

The project includes 194 car spaces, five motorcycle spaces, and 348 bicycle spaces, reflecting a transit-oriented approach in a location directly adjacent to the rail corridor and within walking distance of Harris Park Station.

<img alt="First Look: Plans lodged for 37-storey mixed-use tower with affordable housing at 33–43 Marion Street, Parramatta" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3db873ea-62f0-437b-8a6a-eeda154d2dee" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Marion%20building.png?VersionId=YwzBv8OVHwyRnMLGX4slU7QyhTyMZeOX" />

The design adopts a podium-and-tower composition, with a three-storey street wall addressing Marion Street and a reduced two-storey interface responding to adjoining heritage cottages.

A key component of the proposal is the integration of affordable housing under the NSW Government’s in-fill affordable housing pathway, with units to be retained for a minimum of 15 years. This is paired with a broader public domain strategy that emphasises permeability, deep soil planting, and a landscaped through-site link.

“The strategy prioritises a permeable, well-activated public realm and supports a compact tower form to minimise the building’s footprint while enhancing the quality of the ground-level experience,” the design report states.

The proposal includes a central landscaped courtyard, rooftop communal areas, and planting strategies aligned with local environmental conditions and cultural narratives.

<img alt="First Look: Plans lodged for 37-storey mixed-use tower with affordable housing at 33–43 Marion Street, Parramatta" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f0e6c165-9967-4d20-9216-e5b8357c85ba" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Marion%20site.png?VersionId=SRod222LwgDmGZJmJY0wTbK39UrWZLSD" />

The site occupies a prominent corner of Marion and Station streets, roughly 100 metres from Harris Park Station, within a precinct earmarked for significant intensification. While the immediate context is characterised by low- to mid-rise buildings and heritage dwellings, planning controls and recent proposals point to a transition toward high-density development.

A substantial uplift in height and density is being tested in Lane Cove, with a 225-apartment scheme at 300 Burns Bay Road now on public exhibition as a State Significant Development alongside a concurrent rezoning.

The proposal by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/level-33">Level 33</a> would see the demolition of an existing commercial building and associated structures, replaced by a residential development ranging from seven to 15 storeys.&nbsp;

The scheme delivers 225 apartments, including 34 designated as affordable housing, positioning it within the NSW Government’s accelerated Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

The development is arranged as three interconnected residential flat buildings, a response to the site’s long, narrow configuration and sloping topography.&nbsp;

<img alt="First look: 225-apartment Lane Cove tower proposal enters exhibition under State Significant pathway" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c325d40c-ead5-45f4-9d77-5a446b23acc0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Lane%20Cove%20pers.png?VersionId=hsCJxT5hj.5kzA6AMInyan1x8mcHeRez" />

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/pbd-architects">PBD Architects</a>, the project’s designer, describe a built form that is “divided into three sections, each connected by intermediate infill slots which are recessed to establish greater setbacks and further articulate the development.”

Across the scheme, apartments are supported by communal amenity at ground and rooftop levels, including landscaped open space and a rooftop pool. Basement and lower ground levels accommodate parking, storage, and building services, while a new public park is proposed along the eastern edge of the site, replacing part of the existing built form.

The architectural response has been shaped by the site’s pronounced fall towards the Lane Cove River, with building heights stepping down from west to east to reduce visual bulk and respond to adjoining bushland.&nbsp;

The design report notes that “the development has been carefully designed to integrate with the existing topography with the placement of massing and floor levels adjusted respecting the site’s inherent characteristics.”

<img alt="First look: 225-apartment Lane Cove tower proposal enters exhibition under State Significant pathway" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="31cc13a5-bc8b-4dc3-b9b1-07c6ec33a82b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Lane%20cove%20site.png?VersionId=NiyH3LimQwiHsE6Q7I5g4Grpr5fRdZaX" />

The project is being advanced through a concurrent rezoning process, seeking to increase the permissible height and floor space ratio beyond current Lane Cove LEP controls of 21 metres. Under the proposal, height would reach up to 54.5 metres, reflecting a shift toward higher-density outcomes in well-located urban areas.

Located on a 7,595 sqm site, the development sits within an established high-density residential pocket characterised by mid-rise apartment buildings set within a bushland setting. The site is within close proximity to Burns Bay Reserve, the Lane Cove River, and an extensive network of open space, reinforcing its strategic positioning for increased housing supply.

Level 33 is doing through the Housing Delivery Authority to try and get its Homebush project of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/level-33-adds-to-2-000-unit-pipeline-with-new-two-tower-homebush-plans">more than 300 apartments approved</a>.

The developer has over 2,000 apartments in the pipeline, predominantly in Wollongong.

Following the completion of its debut Palm Beach apartment development EVA on Tenth, local Gold Coast developer Chippendale Group has launched its latest project in the in demand area.

Chippendale Group, led by fifth-generation Palm Beach local Daniel Chippendale, has kicked off sales at&nbsp;<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elise-palm-beach-3-twenty-fifth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1775884443343000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2GyxnGQKU2XXwTzQ8_VHgi" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elise-palm-beach-3-twenty-fifth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221" target="_blank">ELISE</a>, 68 coastal-infused apartments just 40 metres from the sand on Twenty Fifth Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150992 project_image_fid=366023]

Construction is already well underway, a signal of confidence to buyers, following the demolition of the two-storey walk-up and 1990s built house that sat on two sites that have been amalgamated to create a prime corner block.

There are a mix of two- and three-bedroom apartments on offer, starting from $1.4 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150992 project_image_fid=366024]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, Elise responds to its coastal setting through a horizontal architectural form with recessed glazing and layered landscaping. The design aims to balance light, shade and sea breezes while creating a defined presence along the streetscape.&nbsp;

Residences have been planned with an emphasis on outdoor living suited to the Gold Coast climate, including large balconies designed as usable outdoor rooms. Interiors will feature a selection of European appliances and natural materials, including New Zealand wool carpets.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150992 project_image_fid=366033]

Resident amenities are centred around a wellness-focused ground-level precinct. There will be private access to a heated swimming pool, sauna, cold plunge and gym, alongside a residents’ lounge with dining and entertaining space.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elise-palm-beach-3-twenty-fifth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">ELISE</a> is located towards the northern end of Palm Beach, which puts it just a short walk to Tallebudgera and Currumbin Creeks.

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/31-41-o-hara-street-marrickville-nsw-2204">Third.i</a>&nbsp;has announced a new transport-oriented development in one of Sydney Inner West’s most sought-after metropolitan locations, delivering much needed housing within steps of world-class public transport and vibrant village life.

Located at&nbsp;31-41 O’Hara St,&nbsp;Marrickville, the proposed mixed-use development will include around 300 apartments, with up to 17 per cent dedicated to affordable housing, reinforcing Third.i’s commitment to creating inclusive, well-connected communities that support a diverse mix of residents who keep Sydney’s neighbourhoods thriving.

Located just 100 metres from the new Metro station, the development places residents within minutes of the CBD while offering seamless access to the Inner West’s cafés, retail, and local services. Anchored within a thriving local centre, the project supports everyday living without reliance on cars, while also delivering new public open space for the local community, including a new park and landscaped green areas, alongside high-quality private resident amenities.

Florian Caillon, Head of Acquisitions for Third.i Group, said the project builds on the company’s ongoing work alongside the NSW Government to deliver housing and amenity alongside major transport infrastructure. Amenity includes an activated pedestrianise retail strip that connects Illawarra Road down to the pocket park, and health and wellness facilities.&nbsp;

“Delivering housing of this scale within an established village is a rare opportunity, and few companies have achieved residential outcomes of this size at a village centre," Caillon said.

"We are excited to set a new standard for urban living in the heart of Marrickville,” he said.&nbsp;

The inclusion of affordable housing has been welcomed by frontline workers.

“We are supportive of developments which will allow essential workers like nurses, midwives and carers, the opportunity to live in the communities they care for," said&nbsp;Michael Whaites, General Secretary of the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association..

“Many healthcare workers tell us they would like to live closer to where they work, but are being priced out of the market, forcing them to move further away.&nbsp;

“Dedicated apartments for essential workers will support recruitment and retention in local hospitals and aged care facilities, helping to strengthen our health system.”

The project has been declared State Significant Development (SSD) by the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA).

ASX-listed developer, Cedar Woods are working in response to market demand with their latest masterplanned community.&nbsp;

In response to increasing market demand for affordable townhome living, the group has launched its second townhome offering within Mason Quarter.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134843 project_image_fid=206200]

Located in the burgeoning suburb of Wollert, the new SOHO Living townhome offering will add eight three-bedroom townhomes to the 64-hectare masterplanned development&nbsp;

Following the recent sell-out sales success of Mason Quarter’s first SOHO Living&nbsp; collection, Cedar Woods is receiving similar interest from buyers keen to secure a low maintenance yet well-appointed and affordable home.&nbsp;

The group’s Development Director, James Bovell said it was evident that design led townhomes in masterplanned communities were becoming increasingly popular, with first-home buyers and downsizers in particular attracted to their affordability, convenience, and connectivity to the local community.

“With ever changing market conditions, we’re seeing homebuyers increasingly look for locations that offer more amenity,” said Bovell.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134843 project_image_fid=206203]

“Masterplanned communities, such as Mason Quarter, offer residents a lifestyle that is equipped with surrounding benefits, such as the nearby Wollert Primary School and cafes, restaurants, retail destinations and schools all located within close proximity.”

The release of the latest townhomes complements the most recent Greenfield Market Report by RPM Real Estate, which forecasts an increase in demand for townhomes in Australia due to their versatile layouts and&nbsp; affordable price points for a diverse range of homebuyers.

“Townhomes are particularly attractive to first-home buyers and young families, as they offer purchasers enough space as well as privacy required for adapting needs,” said Bovell.

“We’re seeing a rise of interest in the townhome product, not only in Mason Quarter but our community developments across Australia. The new SOHO Living townhomes at Mason Quarter answers this demand for Melbourne homebuyers, who are looking for elevated design and contemporary living.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134843 project_image_fid=206201]

The townhomes are set to feature open-plan layouts, spacious porches, private garages and kitchens with stone bench tops and European-inspired appliances, including an oven, cooktop, range hood and dishwasher.

Once complete, Mason Quarter is slated to accommodate over 800 dwellings, two schools, a community centre, a 7.9-hectare conservation reserve and over 30 distributed tree reserves with majestic river red gums.

The community is conveniently located within walking distance of the future Wollert town centre with a range of existing infrastructure and public amenity nearby including the Hume Freeway, Metropolitan Ring Road, hospitals, shopping centres and public transport.

The second release of SOHO Living townhomes in Mason Quarter are now selling, with prices starting from $534,900.

“Land in Melbourne’s growth corridors is increasingly sought after and buyers are in a rush to get into this strong market.”

The new sales office will help facilitate sales and showcase the unique masterplan design that prioritises access to green space.

The masterplan has been designed to showcase the native vegetation on-site with a 7.9-hectare conservation reserve and over 30 distributed tree reserves with retained mature river red gums.

“We’ve developed a clear vision for Mason Quarter, centred around connection to nature and prioritising outdoor space.”

Land sales soar in Melbourne’s north as buyers “rush” into “strong market”

Developer Cedar W​oods has announced the launch of a new luxury project in Melbourne following an increase in demand for off t​he plan townhomes close to the CBD.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Located in the city-fringe suburb of North Melbourne, 88 Lev​e​​son encompasses 15 three and four-bedroom townhomes, each with private outdoor&nbsp;entertaining space.&nbsp;

The project mirrors Cedar Woods&rsquo; ethos to deliver quality projects that meet buyer demands, chief operating officer Patrick Archer says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8945 project_image_fid=178920]

&ldquo;In every project we undertake, our primary focus is developing in areas with access to&nbsp;amenity, creating quality homes, and building community, which are all evident in our latest North Melbourne project.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&ldquo;When considering off t​he plan, purchasers need to feel confident and secure in the&nbsp;outcome of their new home and 88 Leve​son provides that clear vision in a convenient location, only two kilometres from the city,&rdquo; Archer said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Pre-launch enquiry has indicated the project will be highly sought after, with the volume of enquiry &ldquo;outstanding&rdquo; at the pre-release phase.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8945 project_image_fid=178922]

&ldquo;This is a result of the lack of off t​​he plan townhome opportunities within inner Melbourne&nbsp;and the current dearth of residential listings,&rdquo; said Marsha​ll White&rsquo;s Mark Dayman.&nbsp;

Designed by Genton, 88 Le​veson caters to the design-savvy buyer with a striking brick fa&ccedil;ade that references the industrial history of the site.

The interiors, curated by Adele Bates, features high-quality modern amenity including Miele appliances and Signorino&nbsp;stone and have been designed for liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8945 project_image_fid=178921]

&ldquo;The industrial nature of the architecture and local character is seamlessly integrated and&nbsp;juxtaposed with fine design elements carried harmoniously through the homes. The interiors are imbued with a sense of huma​n scale and tactility through fine attention to detail, function,&nbsp;and materiality,&rdquo; Bates said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

88 Lev​eson is only a short distance from the historic Errol Street and within walking distance&nbsp;of Queen Victoria Market, University of Melbourne and the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct.&nbsp;

Its location makes it highly desirable to a range of purchasers, particularly&nbsp;professionals working in the nearby employment precincts.

Construction is anticipated to commence in 2022.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=8945]

Land lots within this community are selling now, with 294sqm that boast 10.5-metre frontage available from just $316,000,

The community will offer the opportunity for people to craft their ideal lifestyle in beautiful, natural surrounds with a 7.9-hectare conservation reserve and over 30 distributed tree reserves with majestic river red gums on site.

Mason Quarter is conveniently located within walking distance of the future Wollert town&nbsp;centre and a range of existing infrastructure and public amenity.

Half of the top 20 suburbs in Australia that are under mortgage stress are in Victoria, which is a "serious problem", according to a report by the Grattan Institute.
The report's data, which was based on the latest census, found Wollert, which is about 27 kilometres north of Melbourne's CBD, had the highest percentage of houses under mortgage stress in the nation, at 23 per cent. But sales appear to be humming along nicely.
Roxburgh Park is a close second at 20.9 per cent.
Wollert's median house price sits at $478,000, with listings and sales showing no signs of stress.

Mortgage stress is defined as any household that spends 30 per cent or more of its income on loan repayments.
"Mortgage stress is particularly acute on the suburban fringes of our major cities, especially Victoria," Grattan Institute Fellow Brendan Coates said.
"Places like Roxburgh Park in the north, Cranbourne West, Burnside Heights and so on, have quite significant mortgage stress.
"I do think this is a serious problem," he told the ABC.
The top 10 most stressed suburbs are:
<ol>
<li>Wollert, VIC (23%)</li>
<li>Roxburgh Park – Somerton, VIC (20%)</li>
<li>Upper Yarra Valley, VIC (20%)</li>
<li>Chullora, NSW (20%)</li>
<li>Mickleham – Yuroke, VIC (20%)</li>
<li>Cranbourne West, VIC (19%)</li>
<li>Burnside Heights, VIC (19%)</li>
<li>Lawson, ACT (19%)</li>
<li>Byford, WA (19%)</li>
<li>Forrestdale – Harrisdale-Piara Waters, WA (19%)</li>
</ol>
The report goes on the say that across the nation, many households could find themselves in trouble if the economic environment changes even slightly.
Just a two percent rate rise "would create more stress than 17pc rate in 1989," the institute has suggested.
