The top 25 off the plan apartment developments to look out for across Sydney in 2024

Sydney's northern suburbs, anything from north of the Harbour Bridge, saw a number of development applications filed in 2023 and late 2022.

Most of the developers will hope to get approval in a timely manner given the scarcity of supply in the harbour capital driving transactions.

We've had a look at the most exciting projects which are expected to launch in 2024, if not early 2025.

<h2>Location: 184b-190 Kurraba Road, Kurraba Point</h2>

<h3>Developer: PB &amp; Co</h3>

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a>-based developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/pb-co">PB &amp; Co</a>&nbsp;is marking their first venture in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a>&nbsp;with a striking development in one of Sydney's most affluent areas.

They spent $60 million on a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/kurraba-point-nsw">Kurraba Point</a>&nbsp;site where they will be developing a&nbsp;highly sustainable and innovative luxury residential project in collaboration with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/koichi-takada-architects">Koichi Takada Architects</a>.

The 4,200 sqm block will be home to four different residential buildings, including six luxury apartments on the street side of the block and four dual occupancy residences closer to the water.&nbsp;

The luxury apartments will offer various amenities, such as dedicated wine rooms, butler's pantries, multi-purpose rooms, and water-facing balconies. The dual occupancy buildings will include private rooftops with plunge pools and outdoor barbecue kitchens.&nbsp;

The project aims to achieve a 6-star Green Star rating with a focus on sustainability and a zero-carbon lifestyle.

Key sustainable features of the project include passive design strategies, rooftop solar farms, an underground geothermal energy system, rainwater collection for irrigation, building management systems for performance optimization, integrated shading structures, and the use of local, sustainable materials.&nbsp;

The development is intended to be carbon neutral not only in design but also in operations.

<h3>Developer: Polytec</h3>

Another for Chatswood, which had a flurry of applications last year when the&nbsp;CBD boundary to the north was expanded which opened up more favourable height limits to zones previously strictly capped.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/polytec-australia-development-pty-ltd">Polytec Australia Development</a>&nbsp;filed for a 27-story mixed-use tower with 53 apartments on a 1,184 sqm block at 629-637 Pacific Highway, currently occupied by two separate car service and repair businesses.

<img alt="Top North Sydney developments to look out for in 2024" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/629-639%20Pacific%20Highway%2C%20Chatswood.png?VersionId=49ehWRLkjesNuci1Fb29D5kLOLQCzA7g" />

<h3>Developer: Billbergia</h3>

Last one I promise. Prolific developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/billbergia">Billbergia</a>&nbsp;revealed its first residential development on the North Shore last year, a $170 million mixed-use development in Chatswood.

Billbergia's Development Director Saul Moran said the project's focus was on innovative live-work typologies to address the growing trend of flexible post-COVID working styles and working from home.&nbsp;

The proposed development comprises two slender 27-storey towers with 251 apartments rising above a two-storey commercial podium.

The podium includes a mix of uses such as retail, commercial showrooms, and flexible SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) style live-work offerings, catering to residents who prefer working remotely in a separate, comfortable, and private setting.&nbsp;

<img alt="Top North Sydney developments to look out for in 2024" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/8%20Wilson%20Street%2C%20Chatswood.png?VersionId=Kc3xdV4yDA0H0GkWAI9Moh917Korv.sa" />

Billbergia anticipates that the live-work design will resonate with the North Shore market, particularly as approximately 40 per cent of Australians now work from home at least part of the week, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Additionally, a 70-place childcare centre within the podium aims to provide convenience for working parents.&nbsp;

Residents will also have access to communal facilities, including an outdoor swimming pool, landscaped communal areas, and private open rooftop spaces.

The development incorporates landscaped, through-site pedestrian links, forming a cross-shaped laneway connection with retail tenancies and live-work spaces.&nbsp;

The project also places a strong emphasis on sustainability, with features such as rainwater harvesting, thermal buffers in the podium's landscaped areas, rooftop gardens to reduce rainwater runoff and provide insulation, and solar photovoltaic panels on the roof.&nbsp;

Construction is expected to commence in late 2024, subject to development approval.

The proposal also includes 'Plus' apartments featuring dedicated study spaces, responding to the rising trend of working from home.

The streetscape design aims to create a permeable pedestrian network and an active retail precinct along Herring Road, with Macquarie University railway station approximately 400 metres away.

One of the towers will feature amenities like indoor and outdoor recreation spaces, a swimming pool, play areas for children, barbecue areas, and rooftop gardens.

The development also includes sustainable initiatives such as rooftop solar panels generating 100 kWh of energy for common areas and corridors, high-performance double glazing within apartments, energy-efficient LED lighting, and electric vehicle charging stations.

We've got projects to look out for in Kurraba Point, Macquarie Park, St Leonards and Chatswood

The top nine off the plan apartment developments in northern Sydney look out for in 2024

Melbourne-based lifestyle developer PB&amp;Co. has secured a new off the plan sales record for a three-bedroom apartment in Toorak at its Clendon Residences development on Clendon Road.

The apartment, in the boutique block of five at 79 Clendon Road, fetched&nbsp;$31,591 per square metre. &nbsp;

PB&amp;Co. launched the project earlier this year on the street which has&nbsp;high-profile neighbours including Allen Myer, Paul Little, and David Smorgan.&nbsp;

The recent sale for $6.95 million to a local from Hawthorn purchasing a second home broke the previous price per square metre record of $29,101 for a three-bedroom apartment, with the buyer keen for an opportunity to invest in a residence in a street where prime real estate almost never comes to market. &nbsp;

<img alt="Clendon Master bedroom" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d502a0c0-c9ce-472a-b741-806c5d85a6e4" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/FON_79%20Clendon_Final%20Render_Masterbed.jpg?VersionId=oCPyX8wun1lYzg65iv21t3dNItdU.HDC" />

Clendon Road is renowned as one of Toorak’s top four street addresses alongside Albany Road, Irving Road and St Georges Road, where a new house price record was recently set for Melbourne by Crypto casino co-founder Ed Craven, who paid $80 million for a dilapidated mansion in August last year.&nbsp;

With architecture by renowned New York-based Gregory Tuck, Clendon Residences has been crafted to respectfully contribute to the classic Georgian architecture that is prominent throughout the Clendon Road enclave, where some of the existing homes are said to be worth up to $100m. &nbsp;

Each residence is a testament to opulence and refinement – from hand-selected marble stone, oak timber floors, and the state-of-the-art Gaggenau appliances to the lush Christian Jenkins-designed landscaping that envelops the development, the meticulous attention to detail at the Clendon Residences epitomises luxury living, offering a unique blend of opulence and contemporary design.&nbsp;

<img alt="Clendon Kitchen" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="60885dd9-4f32-49d2-b114-8ba30e16e058" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/FON_79%20Clendon_Final%20Render_Kitchen_Option%2002.jpg?VersionId=Ve1zMUTht4lDNXXzIOidgcZDhw9WkAXh" />

PB&amp;Co. President Michael Pesochinsky said the recent off the plan sale further solidifies Clendon Road's status as a prime location for luxury real estate.&nbsp;

“Clendon Road is the pinnacle in luxury living, and our development at this coveted location provides astute buyers a unique and incredibly rare opportunity to reside amongst some of &nbsp;Australia’s wealthiest neighbours,"&nbsp;Pesochinsky says.

“Clendon Road is lined with multi-million-dollar mansions that nearly never come to market; Clendon Residences is an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a Clendon Road address and the only apartment offering in this prestigious street. &nbsp;

“Its no surprise that buyers are seeing the value in our bespoke residences concept which strives to challenge the confines of traditional real estate and open the doors to a new way of living. &nbsp;

“Our homes offer residents unrivalled lifestyle experiences, underpinned by timeless aesthetics and international influences to create something truly extraordinary for &nbsp;Melbourne’s discerning elite.&nbsp;

“With our highly acclaimed design partners, we have created a new benchmark for luxurious living. The Clendon Residences offer the only apartment concept of its kind at such an exclusive address and so it’s no surprise there is keen appetite for the prospect to invest in &nbsp;the sought-after location with the bespoke residence concept being such a unique &nbsp;opportunity.”&nbsp;

The remaining Clendon Residences are priced from $6 million and are set to reach completion in early 2025. &nbsp;

PB&Co secure price per square metre record for three-bed apartment on one of Toorak's best streets

After obtaining approval from the City of Melbourne Council to convert the historic East Melbourne home, Eblana, into a $35 million luxury residential apartment development, PB &amp; Co. has finally unveiled their ultra-high-end project comprising four full-floor residences.

The permit signifies the successful conclusion of a complex negotiation process. PB &amp; Co. collaborated closely with the City of Melbourne Council to achieve an outcome that satisfies all stakeholders, including the local community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108801 project_image_fid=236543]

The three full-floor apartments and two-level penthouse will feature three and four bedrooms, multiple living zones, winter gardens, and study retreats. They will also include a self-parking, fully automated car system, with the option to vertically combine floor plans for luxurious duplex-style living. These boutique residences are exclusively offered by invitation only.

Designed by Inhaus Design, the development pays homage to the Italianate-style terrace, the former Young &amp; Jackson publican Thomas Jackson's residence. The restoration aims to return the structure to its original form and transform it into a luxury residential offering tailored to Melbourne’s elite.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108801 project_image_fid=236537]

The ground floor residence will be accommodated within the existing structure, where period features such as grand double-height spaces and original tiling will be revitalised. The new residences above will mirror the same sense of grandeur and space.

In response to the original scale of the structures below, the two modern architectural expressions above will adhere to the proportions of the heritage façade, accentuated by arched windows—a reoccurring, dominant form in the heritage home.

Each apartment is adorned with meticulously curated finishes that reflect a commitment to integrate modern comfort with heritage charm. Spacious interiors bathed in natural light provide a welcoming ambience, while state-of-the-art amenities ensure convenience and relaxation.&nbsp;

Residents will also have access to a rooftop oasis overlooking stunning city views, stay active in the fitness centre, and entertain guests in the beautifully designed communal spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108801 project_image_fid=236544]

Construction of Eblana has already commenced and is expected to be completed in mid-2025.

PB &amp; Co. now have over $350 million across Melbourne and Sydney’s prestigious wealth belts, having recently spent $60 million on a site in Sydney's Kurraba Point. That could see between eight and 12 luxury residences built on the 4,200 sqm block.

One of their latest Melbourne projects, Fifty Two Black, in Brighton, is kitted out in Restoration Hardware.

PB & Co. reveal luxury East Melbourne apartment development, Eblana

When Michael&nbsp;Pesochinsky co-founded PB &amp; Co. in 2018, his vision was a simple yet ambitious one, to create an unparalleled level of luxury never seen in the Australian property market.

While luxury is a subjective term, banded around the real estate industry like boutique, there's no denying what PB &amp; Co. have produced, and are looking to produce, doesn't fall under the luxury in anyone's eyes.

Their most recent project, Fifty Two Black, has elevated the status of luxury in Brighton, one of Melbourne's most affluent areas.

Recently catching up with Pesochinsky, he said that when the team were putting the plans together for 52 Black, they asked themselves the question: 'How do we create something of the absolute highest quality that hasn't been done before?'

They concluded that things like 3.3-metre high ceilings, Wolf and Sub Zero appliances, and 15 different types of stone and marble which took six months for artisans to craft, were some of the key inclusions in the project of just five apartments.

"Because we were targeting the ultra luxury downsizer market, who are looking at something like 52 Black as their true forever home, we needed to create something that they weren't accustom to seeing in the high-end downsizer space before,"&nbsp;Pesochinsky said.

<img alt="52 Black" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="965c0e07-60f9-4eb9-86de-bca4be543926" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-07-13%20at%203.13.41%20pm.png?VersionId=ddZTPp7Hs5OoYPtg2XUoq7D0.cJetpXN" />

Pesochinsky said that while a lot of other developers are looking at cutting costs to either make projects financially viable or to maximise profits, they decided to go the other way.

"We wanted to create something buyers would typically expect when building their own home.

"When you build your own home, particularly the affluent suburbs, a lot of the time you tend to over capitalize. We wanted to essentially take that headache away, and have these features all included in the sale price."

The project secured silver in the Melbourne Design Awards, and it's looking likely it will be a finalist in the 2023 Dezeen awards, the revered architecture, interiors and design magazine.

Pesochinsky decided to wait for the project to be finished to sell the apartments due to the stop start nature of construction, and therefore marketing campaigns, throughout the rolling COVID lockdowns.

And while stock at that end of the market takes longer to sell than more traditional newly completed stock given the price tag, the apartments are yielding around two and a half times the standard rental prices seen in Brighton.

Having completed high-end projects on Toorak's Clendon Road and East Melbourne's Jolimont Street, PB &amp; Co are off to Sydney in their next venture, a luxury project on the Harbour's edge.

They secured a prime waterfront site in Kurraba Point, in the Lower North Shore, three years ago.

"We felt at the time the market in Sydney was about to explode," Pesochinsky recalls.

"It was bubbling, and prices were rising, but subsequent to our purchase, prices escalated."

The decision was both economically driven, given the capital growth of the Sydney luxury market, and a personal one.

"If you're going to produce the best, you've got to be in the best location,"&nbsp;Pesochinsky said.

"To create a product that is at that pinnacle of luxury, you need to be in an appropriate location to sustain the prices it'll cost. We really wanted to get into that next level of quality and luxury, because that further's people's buying capacity."

PB &amp; Co. had renowned architect Koichi Takada put plans together for just 10 residences across the 4,200 sqm block&nbsp;in Kurraba Point, which slopes down to the water.

<img alt="Takada" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7fc981b2-7244-4567-ae11-bab4d536f657" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-07-13%20at%203.07.11%20pm.png?VersionId=_7ltJaMYfqo4I3vep2rkpotkH8qElrkZ" />

Speaking on using Takada,&nbsp;Pesochinsky said that they wanted to make sure, if they were going into the Sydney market, they were going to go with someone who represents quality and luxury in design.

A conscious effort has gone in for the project to be highly sustainable. Not only has the project been designed carbon neutral, but it will operate carbon neutral too.&nbsp;

Takada said in the design statement submitted to the local council last November that the&nbsp;overall vision is for a transformative project which embodies the idea of ‘regenerative luxury,’ inspiring a zero-carbon lifestyle for it’s residents.

"This project will lead the way in the luxury housing market and support the New South Wales state government objective to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050."

<img alt="Takada" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c4986dbc-ca27-4ed4-bc17-549da3062428" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-07-13%20at%203.07.18%20pm.png?VersionId=5Sbdi9gTzzbLGLMDIaR0chg_qo7B9x6W" />

Pesochinsky says that while Melbourne has a lot going for it, consistently named one of the most liveable cities in the world, it will never compete with Sydney in the luxury apartment space.

"The big difference between Melbourne and Sydney is that Melbourne doesn't have the views, that's what escalates the prices," Pesochinsky says.

"The landmarks in Sydney on the Harbour takes luxury to the next level. There's not too many places in the world that can match it."

Pesochinsky said that while $15 million plus in Melbourne would be a particularly high price paid for an apartment, it's "the norm" in Sydney.

PB &amp; Co. are hoping for development approval in Kurraba Point toward the end of 2023.

While luxury is a subjective term, banded around the real estate industry like boutique, there's no denying what PB & Co. have produced, and are looking to produce, doesn't fall under the luxury in anyone's eyes

How PB & Co. are redefining the luxury downsizer market: Five minutes with Michael Pesochinsky

A collection of fully-furnished apartments in Fifty Two Black, the recently completed Brighton apartment development by luxury developer PB&amp;CO., are set to hit the market.

The fully-furnished Residence Two, spanning 452 sqm, and the 490 sqm penthouse, will be the apartments up for sale. The penthouse would achieve a record price per sqm for Brighton if it sells at it's $10 million price tag.

Residence Two is being pitched to investors as a high-yielding, short-stay letting opportunity, with expectations it could rent for $5,500 a night on a holiday letting service.

The weekly rent is estimated at $8,500 per week on a 12 month lease, which would be&nbsp;930 per cent more than Brighton’s current average apartment rental price.

Notable fixtures include a Costera leather sofa designed by American Jason Chauncey, a hand woven, 100 per cent silk pile rug and a 60 inch Art Deco chandelier from renowned lighting designer Ian K. Fowler.

Fifty Two Black apartments in Brighton to break records

Melbourne developer PB &amp; Co have revealed plans for their prime Sydney harbourfront development site they bought for $60 million over 18 months ago.

PB &amp; Co, led by founders Alex Bragilevsky and Michael Pesochinsky, have been working with Koichi Takada Architects to create what the architecture firm call a "highly sustainable and innovative luxury residential development on a once-in-a-generation site on the Sydney Harbour."

The massive 4,200 sqm block at 184b-190 Kurraba Road will essentially be carved up into quarters, and will home four different residential buildings.

Pesochinsky, who is the company's Executive Chairman and CEO, said&nbsp;PB &amp; Co is delighted to lodge plans for Kurraba Point.

"We are renowned for creating timeless residences and unforgettable experiences in the most prestigious streets of Melbourne, however after a robust search we secured Kurraba Point to launch our first Sydney development and plan for this to be the first of many,"&nbsp;Pesochinsky said.

"Kurraba Point will be another example of PB &amp; Co solidifying our place in luxury residential market whilst we strive to ensure sustainability is at our core. Kurraba Point will be one of the few developments in the area awarded a 6 Star Green Star."

There will be just six luxury apartments, four three-bed and two four-bed apartments, on the street side of the block. They've been tiered to overlook Shell Cove. Then closer to the water will be four dual occupancy residences.&nbsp;

<img alt="Kurraba Point" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bba8078d-53d6-431f-826b-ec8115def71b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-11-14%20at%2010.16.06%20am.png?VersionId=uawGF91aVh0CpDqVkJCVVug9KW0xeLuS" />

The two four-level apartment buildings will have a communal space on the lower ground level, opening to a terrace.

The three-bedroom apartments will start from 192 sqm and feature dedicated wine rooms, butler's pantry's, a multi-purpose room, and water-facing balconies.

The two four-bedroom apartments crown the top two floors in each building and are wrapped in extensive terraces on both levels.

The dual occupancy buildings sit behind the apartment buildings, on the land sloping down toward the water. They each have three bedrooms and a private rooftop with plunge pools and outdoor barbecue kitchens.

<img alt="Kurraba Point" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4009f843-a71c-4d6b-99c7-51ed9f04d7d8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-11-14%20at%2010.16.12%20am.png?VersionId=gdZUh5ZkWnzsf0CnQ05szsZTRQsZq3ir" />

Koichi Takada Architects say in the design verification statement submitted to the North Sydney Council that they have "designed a one-of-a-kind development with the highest sustainable outcomes."

"The overall vision is for a transformative project which embodies the idea of ‘regenerative luxury,’ inspiring a zero-carbon lifestyle for it’s residents," the design statement read.

"This project will lead the way in the luxury housing market and support the New South Wales state government objective to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

"The design features four sculptural, low-rise buildings which are contextually appropriate and respond to the local character of the area but also look towards future ways of living."

<img alt="Kurraba Point" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9b57834d-7df7-4ef1-b290-d81d86e177ed" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-11-14%20at%2010.16.22%20am.png?VersionId=GVMcQnEcd5WAeu69N6782QZiPrD8walI" />

They note that the project is designed to be carbon neutral, not just in design, but also in operations.

"The building form makes use of passive design strategies and technology to respond to the unique environmental conditions on the harbour. All energy needed to power the buildings will be generated on-site through rooftop solar farms and an underground geothermal energy system which provides heat and generates electricity," the architecture firm stated.

"Rainwater will be collected for irrigation of planted areas and building management systems will control, monitor and maximise building performance. Integrated shading structures control solar access while maintaining views and privacy. Local, sustainable materials will undergo a full life cycle assessment and there will be adequate charging provisions for electric vehicles and bicycles, extending the sustainability benefits of the project far beyond the bounds of the site."

The development is PB &amp; Co's first venture in Sydney, having primarily focused on luxury projects in Melbourne's most affluent suburbs.

They have a solid pipeline in Bayside Brighton and Toorak, the latter the Point Piper of Sydney.

The massive 4,200 sqm block will essentially be carved up into quarters, and will home four different residential buildings

Top new developments in Bayside, Melbourne October 2022

The high-end Melbourne developer, PB &amp; Co., has secured approval from the City of Melbourne Council to convert the historic East Melbourne home Eblana in to a $35 million luxury residential apartment development.

Eblana, the former home of the Young &amp; Jackson publican, Thomas Jackson, will become three full floor apartments and a double-storey penthouse designed by Inhaus Design, who will be retaining and restoring its original built form.

The Italianate-style terrace at&nbsp;140-142 Jolimont Road was built in the 1800s and was used as the head office for the postmaster general, after the Commonwealth bought it in 1925.

PB &amp; Co., headed by developer Michael Pesochinsky and Edward Bun, has been working with&nbsp;the Melbourne City Council and local objectors to put together an appropriate development.

"The core origins and fabric of Eblana speak to Melbourne's grand era in the late 1800s, which is complemented by rich history and exquisite colonial architecture of James Gall," Bragilevsky&nbsp;said.

"We have consulted closely with the East Melbourne Group, Melbourne City Council and key objector groups to reach a commercial outcome, and appreciate the constructive&nbsp;nature of these discussions.

"Being able to restore this spectacular building to its former glory, and then to delivery a world class 'ultra-luxe' development to the Melbourne elite is gratifying and in line with PB &amp; Co.'s vision.
