Three of the 10 townhouses have already been snapped up.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146554 project_image_fid=296344]

Each townhouse has been designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/gelder-group-architects">Gelder Group Architects</a>&nbsp;and each offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

&nbsp;

The design places a strong emphasis on entertaining, both indoors and outdoors.&nbsp;

The open-plan living areas, complete with a feature fireplace, create a seamless flow from indoor to outdoor entertaining spaces, where residents can enjoy patio and landscaped courtyards.

Each residence is also equipped with premium kitchen appliances, including a five-burner cooktop and a 90cm oven, while the bathrooms feature&nbsp;bespoke inclusions&nbsp;by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/interior-designers/bentley-rd">Bentley Rd</a>&nbsp;such as custom-designed joinery, brushed brass fixtures, and heated towel railings.

Some residences offer the buyer to include a private lift. Each townhouse has two secure parking spaces.

Located within walking distance of local shops and transport, Coachwood is well-connected while maintaining the tranquillity of its North Shore setting.&nbsp;

Telegraph Road is one of Pymble's best addresses, with nine sales above $5 million on the street in the last five years. The street record was set earlier this year when a 2021-built home sold for just over $8 million.

Builder <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/dilcara">Dilcara</a> will commence construction of Coachwood in September.

Development giant ALAND has stepped in to complete the construction of the final three buildings in Top Place's besieged Castle Hill apartment development, Skyview.

Two buildings in the five-building development at 51-53 Old Castle Road have been completed. The third is around 80 per cent complete, while buildings four and five are yet to come out of the ground, but the basement levels have been dug. <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/aland">ALAND</a> will be rectifying any potential defects in the existing shared basement.

ALAND has been appointed following a comprehensive process by receivers KordaMentha to determine the pathway for the completion of the development. ALAND will now work closely with the Building Commission NSW to complete the construction of the Castle Hill complex.

ALAND Founder and Owner Andrew Hrsto says ALAND has a strong record of turning around challenging projects and transforming them into award-winning residential complexes in sought-after suburbs.

“ALAND maintains an end-to-end capability that uniquely positions us to take on these types of projects,” he said.&nbsp;

“Both KordaMentha and the Building Commission NSW clearly recognise our strong reputation, the quality of our product and our expertise and we are excited to drive this entire complex to completion.”

The complete development will provide a total of 964 apartments housing 2500 people, making a significant impact on the Sydney housing crisis.

Upon completion, buildings C, D and E at Castle Hill will be offered as build-to-rent homes and will dramatically increase rental property availability in North West Sydney with 532 apartments providing much-needed rental housing for 1500 residents.

ALAND has a long history, completing 100 per cent of projects for more than 20 years.

The company has recently been awarded an iCIRT Gold rating following a rigorous and independent review process to determine its capability, capacity and commitment. &nbsp;

AYA Penthouse, the largest single-level apartment in Bondi Beach, has just been sold for around $22 million, just a few weeks before its completion.

The four-bedroom, 353 sqm penthouse designed by world-renowned architect Koichi Takada, was sold by Eddie Mansour of Ray White Projects and Jeremy Wiesner of Wiesner Property, with Mansour saying the sale represents the highest price achieved for a&nbsp;non-beachfront facing apartment.

Wiesner said every square metre of the penthouse "goes above and beyond."

"The indoor/outdoor living areas, enhanced by Takada’s signature touches, were a major drawcard for buyers."

<img alt="" data-bit="iit" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="260" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdMv79gUyZ7n3JPiNgqgarE5g2M5exVS9VMG8tiAtFTH3W5x_g7pIekB1MCek1wYczR7tED6nj5x1t46mhGJ7kd6BGwK5S2cdSurjx7gY-U8tOowflzyiRsHgpRDd2cmk66OOFNqaGtIJ70gNnVQIR6i68F?key=MYjsndFdB7Y58ALwjMF-Xg" tabindex="0" width="602" />

The AYA Penthouse sits atop Aqualine, a boutique block of just 12 apartments at 45 Hall Street, developed by Moshav Financial.

Tal Silberman, group managing director of Moshav, said that he was incredibly proud of their group’s development, setting a new benchmark for luxury property.

“AYA Penthouse epitomises coastal luxury with its iconic location and innovative design,"&nbsp;Silberman said.

"This record-breaking sale is testament to the desirability of Bondi Beach and the appetite for truly magnificent design."

Buyers agent Will Roberts from Alsaker negotiated the sale on behalf of the Eastern Suburbs buyer.

Construction firm Lord Group is currently completing the final stages of the development.

The tranformation of Crows Nest as one of the go-to suburbs on the Lower North Shore, is set to continue.

Leading property developer Third.i Group and joint venture partner Phoenix Property Investors have announced the launch of the first stage of Hume Place, its new four-building development above the recently opened Crows Nest Metro station.

The first stage of the development, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/hume-place-crows-nest-477-491-495-pacific-highway-crows-nest">Elevate at Hume Place</a>, will offer 130 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments designed by the&nbsp;internationally acclaimed architecture firm Woods Bagot.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/crows-nest-nsw-2065">Crows Nest</a> has become one of the most connected suburbs in the Lower North Shore. Residents of Elevate couldn't be closer to the quiet, underground metro, which will take them to the CBD in just seven minutes, and to Chatswood in four.<img alt="Crows Nest" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c910ea78-dd78-4510-9858-d8d933ef7aba" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-09-11%20at%2012.59.28%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=RhHNxQQnW7ZekHbMDmLlIExTxvDaxysl" />

Woods Bagot handled both the exterior architecture and interior design of Elevate Hume Place, an apartment development that will cater to a variety of purchasers from first time owners and/or investors to downsizers and right sizers wanting to be close to the Crows Nest Village and all this has to offer in terms of lifestyle and amenity and importantly benefit from the long term value that the Metro stations will bring to property owners.

A recent global study of the impacts that Metro stations have on residential property ‘on’ or ‘directly next’ to metro stations show that properties can demand premiums ranging from 20 per cent to 30 per cent higher in value than neighbouring properties.

Importantly for&nbsp;investors, a metro can help secure 15 per cent to 20 per cent premiums in rents compared to similar properties in the area.

Third.i Co-Founder and Director, Luke Berry, said Elevate at Hume Place is set to redefine urban living in this part of Sydney.

"It's not only going to offer some of the best apartments ever released, Elevate is also a one-of-a-kind development in terms of the value the Metro will bring long term to its owners.

"There are plenty of projects claiming close links to the Crow’s Nest Metro, but there is only one project getting built above it all. Having Elevate built directly over the station is why this project will outperform any other local projects in the future”.

<img alt="Crows Nest" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d31feb75-dd7d-414a-aec9-99fa48c3b9bc" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-09-11%20at%2012.59.21%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=oQvw.CINbikbfBSfF9B7n5E1Gm_iRrdi" />

Third.i has appointed JLL Residential Project Sales as the project marketer and sales partner for Elevate.

Luke Billiau, Head of Capital Markets – Australia and New Zealand at JLL, said Elevate represents the future of integrated transport-oriented development.

"We're confident it will attract significant interest from both local and international buyers," Billiau said.

Third.i to launch Crows Nest over-station development, Elevate Hume Place

Both Queensland locals, as well as those looking for an investment or lifestyle change from New South Wales, have showed the most interest in Morris Property Group's new Broadbeach apartment tower, Crest Broadbeach.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/crest-broadbeach-13-armrick-avenue-broadbeach">Crest</a>, well over 50 per cent sold, comprises 182 two and three-bedroom apartments designed by Guida Moseley Brown.

There will be a maximum of just five apartments per floor, with only three three-bedroom apartments per level on the building’s top three floors.

Residents will have access to extensive amenities on top of the building’s podium on level two, wrapped with terraces with seating and dining areas, featuring a pool, gym, lounge space and a communal barbecue area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112024 project_image_fid=241133]

Since the project launched late last year, traffic from New South Wales to Crest Broadbeach has been consistent, anywhere between 20 per cent to 35 per cent of total traffic.

While owner-occupiers have dominated sales at Crest, the opportunity to purchase owner-occupier-friendly stock in Broadbeach hasn't been lost on investors. Investors have consistently accounted for over 40 per cent of enquiry on Urban at Crest, higher than the Broadbeach average of 32 per cent across 2024.

Crest Broadbeach is one of the only developments around Broadbeach Park, at the northern end of Broadbeach, to be catering for a wider demographic. Several towers that are being marketed or are in planning are priced closer to $3 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112024 project_image_fid=286004]

Crest sits on Armrick Avenue, one of three streets (Surf Parade and Chelsea Avenue), that front the 4.2-hectare Broadbeach Park, a sought-after spot given it means protected south and eastern views toward the beach and the ocean.

On top of the viewlines, Broadbeach Park is a drawcard by itself, home to&nbsp;Broadbeach Bowls Club, which has been there since the mid-1950s, several sports fields that are home to Broadbeach United Soccer Club, and the Broadbeach Life Saving Club.

There's also <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> Community kindergarten and a children's playground which draws the family buyer.

The Urban Community, who can vote on the key strengths of any given development, says the location, as well as floorplan designs, are the two biggest drawcards of Crest. Buyers also see good value for money in the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112024 project_image_fid=286002]

Crest is MPG's 10th development in Broadbeach since the Canberra-based developer started developing in the Gold Coast in the late 1990s.&nbsp;

They have their 11th recently launched to the market. The builder developer waited until they've nearly completed construction before launching&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/malo-broadbeach-8-jubilee-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4218">Malo Broadbeach</a>, just 16 half-floor apartments near the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/morris-property-group">MPG</a> is back to Broadbeach Park for their 12th Broadbeach development, which they're expecting to launch before the end of 2024.

Similar to Malo,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/22-chelsea-avenue-broadbeach">Maison Broadbeach</a>&nbsp;at 22 Chelsea Avenue&nbsp;will comprise just 18 three-bed apartments across a 20-level building.

The Urban Community, who can vote on the key strengths of any given development, says the location, as well as floorplan designs, are the two biggest drawcards of Crest.
