Unveiling Aura's Unique Design and Progress 
Situated just across the road from the Aura development, the interview began with a glimpse of the progress made. Adams shared that Aura, visually appearing as four interconnected buildings, is actually a single structure with 28 levels. The design, akin to four interconnected pedals, showcases the innovative approach Aqualand has taken.

Sales and marketing for Aura have seen tremendous success, despite the challenges in the general market. Adams attributed this success to a combination of luck and effective marketing strategies, putting the project on track to achieve the remarkable milestone of $500 million.

Sydney's Resilience in the Real Estate Market 
Adams expressed his confidence in Sydney leading the real estate market's resurgence, noting that the city is emerging from what he humorously referred to as a "funny period." The market's recovery, driven by strategic marketing and client engagement, reflects a positive trend for Aura.

Targeted Buyers and Demographics 
The types of buyers for Aura have remained consistent over time, primarily local downsizers, young professionals, and upsizers from the lower North Shore area. Adams highlighted the unexpected interest from Pymble and Lindfield, showcasing the project's broad appeal.

The Impact of Previous Projects 
Adams discussed the influence of Aqualand's completed projects, particularly Blue at Lavender Bay and Revy. These completed projects not only serve as brand recognition but also act as tangible examples for potential buyers. The confidence gained from showcasing completed developments has been a key factor in attracting interest in Aura.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=202656]

Building Confidence Through Transparency 
The discussion touched on Aqualand's commitment to transparency, a critical aspect often lacking in the real estate market. Adams emphasized the importance of showcasing construction progress through visual updates and detailed quarterly videos. This commitment to transparency aims to build trust and confidence among potential buyers.

Key Buyer Concerns: Quality, Size, and Location 
Adams identified the top three concerns of potential buyers: quality, size, and location. Quality, referring to the construction and finishes, takes precedence. Size became a crucial focus for Aura, with a deliberate effort to provide larger apartments, responding to the evolving needs of the local market. Lastly, the proximity to the Victoria Cross Metro station and the array of amenities within the building contribute to Aura's appeal.

A Unique Approach to Amenities 
Aura offers a distinctive range of amenities, including an underground pool inspired by Turkish baths, a wellness center, a gym in collaboration with Technogym, and a five-star concierge service. The Sky Deck on level 26 provides residents with breathtaking views, making it a unique and coveted space within the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=202655]

Black Key Subscription Service 
A standout feature of Aura is the Black Key subscription service, offering a level of service comparable to the prestigious AMEX Black Card. This exclusive service includes personalized assistance for events, last-minute dining requests, and access to the Sky Deck, adding an extra layer of luxury to Aura living.

Aqualand's Aura stands out not only for its innovative design and construction progress but also for its commitment to transparency and meeting the evolving needs of the real estate market in Sydney. The collaboration between Urban and Aqualand reflects a shared commitment to delivering exceptional projects that inspire confidence in buyers.

<a href="/developers/goldfields-group">Goldfields Group</a>&nbsp;has been at the forefront of residential development for a number of years. It was that experience that helped them make the move first into the office sector, and then into the multi-residential high-rise apartment space in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a> recently, as well as expanding their house and land developments to Western Australia.

With everything going on, Urban.com.au CEO Mike Bird caught up with <a href="/developers/goldfields-group">Goldfields Group</a>&nbsp;CEO Lachlan Thompson, in the Beverley Rooftop bar which sits atop <a href="/developers/goldfields-group">Goldfields</a>&nbsp;House, their commercial tower at&nbsp;627 Chapel Street in <a href="/new-apartments/south-yarra-vic-3141">South Yarra</a>, to talk about their approach to development.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hjTv0srRT1g?si=GsAamRTDkk3k2Jkf" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

Goldfields House was <a href="/developers/goldfields-group">Goldfields Group</a>&nbsp;entry into the office market, presenting&nbsp;both commercial and hospitality elements.&nbsp;In 2017, amid expectations of a significant run on commercial office rents, the team strategically decided to explore the uncharted territory.

"The opportunity was probably a little bit bigger than we were looking for in 2017," Thompson says.

"We thought there was going to be a significant run on commercial office rents."

They had initially been looking for something smaller, missing out on a few opportunities in Cremorne, before securing the prime site on South Yarra's Chapel Street.

It completed around the time where the leasing market was the worst in three or four decades, but the fact they delivered a product that was the best in class, meant they were incredibly successful in leasing the building.

The success at Goldfields House led <a href="/developers/goldfields-group">Goldfields Group</a>&nbsp;into the high-rise apartment space, with the learnings of developing a high-rise office tower with the amenity to match.

"Amenity is everything these days, and it's a bit of a one-upmanship at the moment as to who can provide the most," Thompson said on residential developments.

"What there is that's coming out of the market at the moment is that everyone is becoming very house proud of where they live, and becoming super loyal to the building that they've bought in."

<a href="/developers/goldfields-group">Goldfields Group</a>&nbsp;first made the move into Sydney high-rise market with <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/the-bryson-of-chatswood-871-877-pacific-highway-chatswood">The Bryson of Chatswood</a>, a 90-metre tower in the heart of <a href="/new-apartments/chatswood-nsw-2067">Chatswood</a>. That came after a low-rise townhouse and apartment project in Pymble.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21170 project_image_fid=231163]

The Bryson, near Beauchamp Park will comprise 70 one, two and three-bedroom apartments across its 26 levels, including a collection of&nbsp;skyhomes and penthouses.

Thompson says he's seen a shift in buyer preferences during the marketing of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/the-bryson-of-chatswood-871-877-pacific-highway-chatswood">The Bryson</a>.

"Two-bed one baths are nearly extinct, we saw that coming," Thompson says. What they didn't see coming was the amount of amalgamation requests.

"Probably about 25 per cent of enquiries at the moment are for amalgamations, turning twos into threes."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21170 project_image_fid=210274]

<a href="/developers/goldfields-group">Goldfields</a> will be looking at recreating a smaller version of Goldfields House in Brisbane in the not too distant future.

All up <a href="/developers/goldfields-group">Goldfields</a> have delivered around 6,000 residential dwellings across house and land lots, apartments and townhouses.

Sydney is one of the most popular and desirable cities in the world, known for its iconic landmarks, beautiful beaches, and thriving cultural scene. With its strong economy and growing population, it's no wonder that so many people are looking to buy property in Sydney, particularly for first-time buyers.

Off the plan apartments in Sydney are an increasingly popular option for first-time buyers. Off the plan properties are those that are purchased before they are built, allowing buyers to secure a property at today's prices and move in when the construction is completed. This can be a great way to get into the property market, as off-the-plan apartments are often more affordable than established properties.

When purchasing an off the plan apartment, buyers typically pay a deposit and then make progress payments throughout the construction process. This can be a great way to spread the cost of the purchase over a period of time, making it more manageable for first-time buyers.

Another advantage of buying off the plan is that buyers can often take advantage of government incentives, such as stamp duty concessions, which can save thousands of dollars on the purchase price.

Additionally, off the plan apartments in Sydney can also be a smart investment for the future. With Sydney's population projected to grow significantly in the coming years, demand for housing is expected to increase, which could lead to capital growth on the properties.

When buying off the plan, it's important to do your research and choose a reputable developer and a property that is well-located. Look for properties that are close to public transport, amenities, and employment opportunities. It's also important to carefully review the contract and understand the terms and conditions of the purchase.

In conclusion, off the plan apartments in Sydney are a smart investment for first-time buyers, offering affordability, government incentives, and the potential for capital growth. With the right research and due diligence, off-the-plan properties can be a great way to get into the Sydney property market.

Off the plan apartments in Sydney: A smart investment for first home buyers

Off-the-plan properties offer buyers the opportunity to secure a property at today's prices and move in when the construction is completed.&nbsp;

However, before making an off-the-plan purchase, it is important to evaluate the developer's reputation and track record. A developer's reputation and track record can have a significant impact on the quality of the property, the completion of the construction, and the overall satisfaction of the buyer.

One of the first steps in evaluating a developer's reputation and track record is to research the developer's past projects. This can be done by visiting the developer's website, reading online reviews and testimonials, and checking out the developer's social media accounts. Look for information about the quality of the construction, the level of customer service, and any awards or recognition the developer has received.

Another important factor to consider is the developer's financial stability. A financially stable developer is more likely to complete the construction of the property on time and to a high standard. One way to check a developer's financial stability is to look at the developer's balance sheet and income statement. This information can be found on the developer's website or by contacting the developer directly.

It's also important to check if the developer has any history of legal disputes or consumer complaints. This can be done by checking the developer's record with consumer protection agencies or by searching online for news articles or court records. A developer with a history of legal disputes or consumer complaints may be a red flag and should be avoided.

Additionally, it's also advisable to check if the developer is a member of any professional organisations or industry bodies. This can be a good indication of the developer's commitment to quality and professionalism.

Another important aspect to consider is the developer's track record of delivering projects on time. Late completion of projects can cause significant inconvenience and financial losses for the buyers, so it's important to make sure that the developer has a good track record of delivering projects on time.

Lastly, it's important to have a clear understanding of the terms and conditions of the purchase. Review the contract thoroughly and make sure you understand the terms and conditions of the purchase, including the completion date, any warranties or guarantees, and the developer's responsibilities.

In conclusion, evaluating a developer's reputation and track record is an essential step in the process of buying an off-the-plan property.&nbsp;By researching the developer's past projects, financial stability, legal disputes, professional affiliations, track record of delivering projects on time, and understanding the terms and conditions of the purchase, buyers can make more informed decisions and reduce the risk of disappointment or dissatisfaction.

When buying off the plan, one of the biggest advantages is the ability to personalise your new home to suit your lifestyle and needs. From choosing the layout and finishes to upgrading features and fixtures, the options available can be overwhelming. However, with a little bit of planning and research, you can make the most of the personalisation options offered and create a space that truly reflects your unique style and preferences.

The first step in making the most of the personalisation options is to research the different floor plans and layouts available. Many off the plan developments will offer a range of options, such as one-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom apartments, and so on. It is important to consider your current and future needs when selecting a floor plan. For example, if you're planning to start a family in the near future, you may want to consider a larger layout with more bedrooms.

Another important aspect to consider when personalising your off the plan apartment is the finishes and materials used. From flooring and cabinetry to countertops and lighting, the choices available can be vast. It's important to think about the overall aesthetic you want to achieve, as well as the durability and maintenance of the materials. For example, if you want a low-maintenance option, you may want to consider a flooring material that is easy to clean, such as porcelain tile or engineered wood.

In addition to the floor plan and finishes, you may also have the opportunity to upgrade various features and fixtures in your off the plan apartment. These may include things like appliances, window treatments, and even built-in cabinetry. While these upgrades can add to the cost of your purchase, they can also increase the value and functionality of your new home. For example, upgrading to stainless steel appliances in your kitchen can add a modern touch and improve the overall aesthetic.

When it comes to personalising your off the plan apartment, it's important to keep in mind that the more upgrades and options you choose, the more it will cost. Therefore, it's important to prioritise what is most important to you and your budget. It's helpful to create a wish list of the items and features you want to include, and then to work with the developer or sales agent to find the best options that suit your budget.

When considering the personalisation options for your off the plan apartment, it's also important to think about the future resale value of your property. Some upgrades, such as high-end finishes and appliances, can increase the value of your property and make it more desirable to potential buyers. However, it's also important to consider that some personalisation options may be too unique or specific to your tastes and may not appeal to buyers in the future.

Another important aspect to consider when personalising your off the plan apartment is the layout of the common areas and amenities. Many off the plan developments offer amenities such as a gym, pool, and lounge areas. It's important to consider how these areas will be used and whether they align with your lifestyle and needs. For example, if you're an avid swimmer, a pool may be an important feature for you.

In conclusion, buying off the plan is a great opportunity to personalise your new home and create a space that truly reflects your unique style and preferences. With a little bit of planning and research, you can make the most of the personalisation options offered and create a home that you'll love. Prioritse your needs and budget, keep in mind the future resale value and don't forget to consider the layout of the common areas and amenities.

How to make the most of the personalisation options offered when buying off the plan

When it comes to buying off the plan, one of the most important steps is to research and compare different developments.&nbsp;

With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to decide which one is the best fit for you.&nbsp;

However, by following a few key steps and keeping a few key things in mind, you can make an informed decision and find the perfect off the plan development for you.

The first step in researching and comparing different off the plan developments is to set your priorities. Consider factors such as location, size, amenities, and price. For example, if you're looking for a new home that is close to your work or family, location will be a top priority.

If you're looking for a larger space to grow into, size will be a top priority. And if you're looking for a development with a lot of amenities, such as a pool, gym, or lounge areas, that will be a top priority.

Once you've established your priorities, it's time to start researching different off the plan developments.

When researching online, pay attention to the images and videos of the developments and their floor plans. These will give you an idea of the overall aesthetic and layout of the development. It's also a good idea to check out the developer's website and social media accounts, as they often post updates and information about their developments.

Another great way to research and compare different off the plan developments is to visit showrooms and display suites. These are physical spaces where developers and real estate agents showcase the different options available. Visiting a showroom or display suite allows you to get a sense of the finishes and materials used, as well as the overall aesthetic of the development.

You can also ask questions and get a better understanding of the options available.

When visiting showrooms and display suites, it's also a good idea to talk to the sales agent or developer about the development. They can provide you with information about the location, size, amenities, and prices of the development. They can also answer any questions you may have and provide you with information about the personalization options available.

Another important aspect to consider when researching and comparing different off the plan developments is the reputation of the developer. This is especially important if you're considering a development that is still in the pre-construction phase.

A good developer will have a track record of delivering high-quality developments on time and on budget. Before making a decision, it's a good idea to do some research on the developer's reputation. You can check the developer's website, read reviews and testimonials, and check the company's registration and licenses.

It's also important to consider the legal aspects of buying off the plan. Before making a purchase, it's a good idea to review the contract and disclosure statement. You should also get legal advice from a conveyancer or solicitor before signing anything. This will help you understand the terms and conditions of the contract, as well as the risks and responsibilities of buying off the plan.

In conclusion, researching and comparing different off the plan developments is an important step in the process of buying off the plan. By setting your priorities, researching online, visiting showrooms and display suites, talking to sales agents and developers, and considering the reputation of the developer, you can make an informed decision and find the perfect off the plan development for you.&nbsp;

Always keep in mind the legal aspects and get professional advice to protect your investment. Don't rush into making a decision, take your time and weigh all your options. Remember, buying off the plan is a big investment and it's important to find a development that meets your needs and fits your budget.&nbsp; 
With a little bit of research and planning, you can find the perfect off the plan development and create a home that you'll love for years to come.

Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, is one of the most popular cities in Australia for property investment. The city's strong economy, stable job market, and growing population make it an attractive destination for both local and foreign investors.

However, with the current market conditions in Sydney, now may be the perfect time for investors to consider buying off-the-plan apartments.

One of the main factors that make now an ideal time to invest in off-the-plan apartments in Sydney is the city's population growth. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Sydney's population is projected to reach 7.1 million by 2031, with the majority of the growth concentrated in the Western Sydney region.

This increase in population will lead to a higher demand for housing, making off-the-plan apartments a sound investment opportunity. With more people moving to the city, the demand for housing will continue to increase, and this presents a great opportunity for investors to enter the market and take advantage of this trend.

Off-the-plan apartments also offer a number of benefits that established properties do not.

For one, off-the-plan apartments are generally sold at a lower price point compared to established properties, providing investors with the opportunity to enter the market at a lower cost.

Additionally, off-the-plan apartments are often located in new or upcoming developments, which can offer a range of amenities and infrastructure that established properties may not have access to. Furthermore, these properties are often designed to be energy-efficient and sustainable, which can also add to their appeal.

The off-the-plan apartment market in Sydney is also currently experiencing a boost due to the government's recent policy changes. The New South Wales government has announced several initiatives aimed at boosting the construction industry and increasing the supply of housing.&nbsp;

These initiatives include the introduction of the Low Rise Medium Density Housing Code, which will make it easier for developers to construct duplexes and townhouses, as well as the extension of the HomeBuilder scheme, which provides financial assistance to eligible first-home buyers.

Furthermore, off-the-plan apartments in Sydney offer investors the opportunity to take advantage of the city's strong rental market. With a growing population and a stable job market, the demand for rental properties in Sydney is high.

Off-the-plan apartments can provide investors with a steady stream of rental income while they wait for the property to be completed and settled. This can be a great way for investors to generate income while they wait for their property to appreciate in value.

However, as with any investment, it's important to do your own research and seek professional advice before making a decision. It's also important to consider the location of the off-the-plan apartment, as some areas may have a higher demand for housing than others. Additionally, it's important to consider the developer's reputation and track record, as well as any legal and regulatory requirements that must be met before purchasing an off-the-plan apartment.

In summary, buying off-the-plan apartments in Sydney can be a great investment opportunity due to the city's population growth, low interest rates, government initiatives, and strong rental market.

However, it's important to do your research, consider the location and developer, and seek professional advice before making a decision. With the right research and due diligence, buying an off-the-plan apartment in Sydney can be a great way to enter the property market and generate long-term returns. 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp;

With the current market conditions in Sydney, now may be the perfect time for investors to consider buying off-the-plan apartments.



Why now is the perfect time to invest in off-the-plan apartments in Sydney

Off-the-plan apartments are a popular option for buyers looking to enter the property market.

These properties are still in the process of being built, and buyers have the opportunity to purchase them before they are completed.

However, before making a decision to buy an off-the-plan apartment, it's important to understand what to look for and what to avoid.

One of the first things to look for when buying an off-the-plan apartment is the location.&nbsp;

Consider the surrounding area and the potential for appreciation in the future. Look for properties located in areas with strong job markets and a growing population, as these areas are likely to have a higher demand for housing in the future. Additionally, consider the proximity to amenities such as schools, parks, and public transportation.

Another important factor to consider when buying an off-the-plan apartment is the developer's reputation and track record. Research the developer's previous projects and look for reviews and testimonials from previous buyers. Make sure that the developer has a good reputation for delivering high-quality properties on time and on budget.

When buying an off-the-plan apartment, it's also important to consider the quality of the finishes and fixtures. Look for properties that offer high-quality finishes, such as granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and hardwood floors. Additionally, check if the property is being built to comply with the latest building codes and energy-efficient standards.

Additionally, it's important to review the contract and legal documents thoroughly before making a purchase. Make sure you understand the terms and conditions of the contract, including the completion date, deposit requirements, and any cooling-off periods. It's also important to be aware of any additional costs, such as stamp duty, legal fees and body corporate fees.

Another important consideration when buying an off-the-plan apartment is the payment schedule. Make sure you understand when and how payments are due, and what happens if the completion date is delayed. Additionally, consider the potential for financing options and whether the property will qualify for a mortgage.

It's also important to be aware of potential risks when buying off-the-plan apartments.

One of the main risks is that the property may not be completed on time, which can cause delays in settlement and rental income. Additionally, the finished product may not match the plans and specifications that were initially presented, which can be disappointing for buyers.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

In conclusion, buying an off-the-plan apartment can be a great investment opportunity, but it's important to do your research and understand the potential risks.

Look for properties located in areas with strong job markets and a growing population, choose a reputable developer, and review the contract and legal documents thoroughly.&nbsp;

Additionally, consider the quality of finishes and fixtures, the payment schedule and financing options, and the potential risks associated with buying off-the-plan.&nbsp;

With the right research and due diligence, buying an off-the-plan apartment can be a great way to enter the property market and generate long-term returns.

Off the plan means the properties are still in the process of being built, and buyers have the opportunity to purchase them before they are completed
