St Leonards apartments

The evolution of the Lower North Shore as one of the most sought-after places to live across the whole of Sydney has seen <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/st-leonards-nsw">St Leonards</a> become a central hub of what once was just farmland and cottages.

The origins of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/st-leonards-nsw">St Leonards</a> can be traced back to the mid-1800's, when the&nbsp;land was granted to Edward Wollstonecraft, an influential early settler and businessman. The suburb took its name from a farm owned by Wollstonecraft, which he named after his father's hometown, St Leonards-on-Sea, in England.

It was originally&nbsp;established as a rural area, with a few scattered farms. Over the next century, driven by the construction of the first <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a> to Parramatta railway line in the 1850s,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/st-leonards-nsw">St Leonards</a> gradually transformed into a hub for small scale industries like brickmaking, timber mills and tanneries.&nbsp;

The suburb was filled with cottages and housing estates, up until the 1960s when there was significant development of high-rise apartment buildings, catering for professionals and families seeking modern&nbsp; and convenient living options close to both the city centre and the growing list of amenities on the North Shore.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/st-leonards-nsw">St Leonards</a> has continued to thrive as part of the urban spill from the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/sydney-nsw">Sydney CBD</a>, and it's now home to headquarters of major businesses such as Verizon Australia, Warner Bros., and Ramsay Health Care.

Developer New Hope Evergreen were well aware of the growth in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/st-leonards-nsw">St Leonards</a>. They made their first play in the suburb in nearly a decade ago, securing a prime Pacific Highway site and developing The Landmark, which was completed in 2021.

Given the success they saw at the 46-level tower, they continued to focus their pipeline in the burgeoning suburb. They recently launched The Landmark Quarter, a trio of Rothelowman-designed buildings on Marshall Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139897 project_image_fid=212581]

The Landmark Quarter comprises a series of buildings on an elevated site offering future residents views of Sydney Harbour and the city skyline.

Renowned architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/rothelowman" target="_blank">Rothelowman</a>&nbsp;has designed the trio of towers in The Landmark Quarter, which will offer a mixture of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a handful of four-bedroom penthouses. There's also a small number of townhomes, sculpted to sync with the harbour's edge.

Many of the apartments benefit from city and harbour views, which can be taken in from either the balcony or living area, given all apartments have floor-to-ceiling glass doors to the balcony.

The townhouses have three bedrooms, each with their own private entrance. The homes are crafted with herringbone timber floors and sweeping natural stone, bestowing a timeless quality to the signature private homes.

Resort-inspired landscapes by Arcadia run between, within and atop the building, with the masterplan offering it's own private parkland, as well as an oasis pool, sauna and hot spa, cinema room, private dining and games room, outdoor dining and barbecue areas.
