Yifang Group has doubled down in the Sydney market, looking to add an expansive Carlingford apartment development to its portfolio.

The developer and project architect Aleksandar Design Group have overseen a subtle redesign of the initial application, producing three separate buildings across a combined 5,821 square metre site that now accommodates 8 detached houses. The Carlingford application is in addition to Yifang Group's first Australian apartment project in Lane Cove.

The amended plans have a sum total of 118 apartments, and when coupled with the Lane Cove development push Yifang Group's portfolio to in excess of 350 apartments.

Accounting for 2-16 Young Street, the Carlingford project's apartment matrix sees 30 single bedroom, 77 double bedroom and 11 triple bedroom apartments included. The development is supplemented by 153 basement car parking spaces.

Set among landscaped gardens, the buildings are intended to be finished in alabaster ultra brick, rendered masonry and aluminium sheets, balustrades and louvres.

Yifang Group's move toward approval would see its project join a swag of current apartment projects dotted throughout Carlingford, with the vast majority mid-rise in nature, although Dyldam's project across 1-7 Thallon Street is a standout at 21 levels.

Yifang's Carlingford intentions follow on from the success they have enjoyed with Quartet Lane Cove.

The developer's initial Australian project was designed by Bates Smart and consists of 235 apartments across four buildings of between 5 to 7 levels, set above 3 levels of basement parking. Richard Crookes Constructions is in charge of the 10,000 square metre site and will deliver approximately 18,000 square metres of new building area.

Yifang can expect the settlement of the Lane Cove project to commence late this year, in line with the expected build completion.
