Three more apartments are going up across New South Wales, with the developments to rise over Sydney’s lower north shore, Newcastle and Coffs Harbour.

$500M St Leonards master planned community begins construction
Top Spring Australia is developing a 1.26-hectare master planned community in Sydney’s lower north shore, called The Newlands. DASCO has been appointed as the construction partner of the project.
Construction on the project is expected to commence later this year with early works and demolition already begun.
The project boasts a central 5,700 square metre green spine and 1,500 square metres of communal rooftop amenities, with over $65 million in apartments already sold.
Top Spring Australia Development Director, Jeff Curnow, said: “DASCO is one of few builders in the state to achieve a coveted 4.5-star iCIRT rating, recognising their success in innovation, reliability, and construction excellence.”
“The park-front three-bedroom terraces and apartments have attracted professionals and down-sizers, while the popular one- and two-bedroom apartments are appealing to professionals, First Home Buyers and young families.”
“We’re seeing strong buyer confidence in St Leonards and demand for the three-bedroom residences remains particularly high, so we’re planning to bring forward the next release later this month,” said Cunrow.
Regional apartment sells for over $2 million
Third.i Sable at the Jetty project in Coffs Harbour has recently seen a penthouse go for $2.35 million.
The $35.5 million project will be home to 35 residences, and is on the corner of Collingwood and Edgar Streets.
“The strength of the sales at Sable at the Jetty demonstrates that regional cities are seeing a consistent uptake of sales activity. There is still growth in the market here, with property sales in the New South Wales north coast holding steady,” said Luke Berry, Third.i’s Co-Founder.
“There’s heaps of opportunity for growth in Coffs Harbour and this record penthouse sale tells us buyers feel the same way.”
Demolition is complete, with the apartments scheduled for completion in mid-2024.
