Investors in Sydney haven't been deterred by the 2023 interest rate hikes which took

Data by MatterFact, Urban.com.au's new data product, shows there have been just as many investors so far in 2024 compared to the same time in 2023.

Numbers are still around 20 per cent down from where they were in early 2022, when the official cash rate was at a record low 0.1 percent and investors could make investing stack up on a wider scale.

Investors have tended to look outside of the city for affordability, apart from <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/nsw/game-changing-north-sydney-apartments-approach-completion-as-aqualand-reveal-aura-display-apartments">Aqualand's game-changing AURA by Aqualand project</a> which is soon to complete.

We've crunched the numbers and wrapped up the top five apartment developments that have drawn the interest of first home buyers so far in 2024.

<h2>Projects: The Grand</h2>

<h3>Location: 27-37 Mann Street, Gosford NSW 2250</h3>

<h3>Developer: TQM Group</h3>

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/gosford-nsw">Gosford</a>, the entry point to the Central Coast, is undergoing a huge gentrification, which kicked off at the start of COVID-19 when the need to be in the office five days a week became redundant.

With that trend continuing, more so in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a> than any other capital city, Gosford is still in vogue for both owner-occupiers and investors.

While development is rife, joint venture partners <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/tqm-group">TQM</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/ace-property-group">Ace Property Group</a> have sought to make their Gosford project, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/the-grand-27-37-mann-street-gosford">The Grand</a>, stand out.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22753 project_image_fid=210668]

The 18-level tower, designed by Sydney-based, internationally recognised architecture firm <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/kannfinch">KANNFINCH</a>, will house 138 apartments, set above an activated podium.

Within the podium, on street level, will be several food and beverage tenancies when the building is complete in 2025.

The podium levels will be crowned by a residents' infinity pool and a landscaped garden, designed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/landscape-architect/site-image">Site Image Landscape Architects</a>.

The Grand is located toward the southern end of Mann Street, near the water. However, The Grand’s easy access to the Central Coast Highway, and its proximity to the Gosford Train Station less than 700 metres away, makes it an easy commute to both the city and exploration of the surrounding beaches, forest reserves, and beachfront national parks.&nbsp;

<h2>Projects: Fox Lane</h2>

<h3>Location: 2 Fox Lane, Rockdale NSW 2216</h3>

<h3>Developer: TQM Group</h3>

TQM Group's next generation of urban-designed apartments has become one of the most sought-after addresses in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/rockdale-nsw">Rockdale</a>, particularly by investors and first-home buyers alike.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/fox-lane-2-fox-lane-rockdale">Fox Lane</a> comprises 43 studio, one, two and three-bedroom lofty, modern apartments with balconies above two ground-floor commercial spaces. The apartments start at $539,000.

The <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/place-studio">Place Studio</a>-designed building is crowned by rooftop amenities, including a cinema, pool and BBQ area, which are complemented by easy access to some of Rockdale’s many local amenities and urban conveniences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141702 project_image_fid=228149]

The $50 million project is conveniently located at 2 Fox Lane, a quiet but active corner just off Princess Highway.&nbsp;

Fox Lane is only an eight-minute walk to Rockdale or Banksia Station, for a hassle-free 30-minute commute to the CBD.

The Place Studio-designed development also places residents within reach of an array of local amenities. Whether it's a day at Brighton-Le-Sands Beach, a visit to the Ador Park Precinct, or a round of golf at Bardwell Valley Golf Club, recreational options are plentiful.

The culinary scene around Fox Lane is equally impressive, teeming with a vibrant café and restaurant scene with some of the best food and dining spots nearby.

<h2>Projects: Auburn Square</h2>

<h3>Location: 26-36 Northumberland Road, Auburn NSW 2144</h3>

<h3>Developer: Tian AN Australia Ltd</h3>

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/auburn-nsw">Auburn</a> is a hub of connectivity situated in the geographical heart of Sydney, offering the benefits of suburban living, with great transport accessibility to business centres including <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/parramatta-nsw">Parramatta</a> and the CBD, only ten minutes away by train. This strategic location enhances the property's potential for long-term residency and rental yield.

There is no end of demand from home buyers and investors who want to live in Sydney’s gentrifying inner Western suburbs, especially since having turned around from the coronavirus-induced slump that occurred throughout much of 2020.

The latest data from Urban.com.au, shows investors are interested in developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/tian-an-australia-ltd">Tian An LFD</a>'s Auburn apartment development, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/auburn-square-26-36-northumberland-road-auburn">Auburn Square</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7317 project_image_fid=248566]

Auburn Square comprises 427 residences in one, two, and three-bedroom configurations, including nine retail and commercial suites and various amenities.

The development offers affordable apartments, with one-bedroom and two-bedroom units starting below $600,000—below the Sydney median. This affordability makes it a feasible entry point for first-home buyers and investors.

The first stage of Auburn Square, which comprises 148 apartments across a ten-level building, has recently been completed and is ready for occupancy.&nbsp;

Retail spaces on the ground floor, along Northumberland Rd, connecting directly to Auburn Town Centre, are also now available for lease.

<h2>Projects: AURA by Aqualand</h2>

<h3>Location: 168 Walker Street, North Sydney NSW 2060</h3>

<h3>Developer: Aqualand Australia</h3>

Exciting changes are coming to <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/north-sydney-nsw">North Sydney</a>, making it a vibrant hub for new homeowners, businesses, and visitors.&nbsp;

With plans for rejuvenated public spaces, the upcoming Victoria Cross metro line, $11 billion in proposed building projects, and over 30 new retail and hospitality brands on the way, North Sydney is set to become more connected and convenient.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/aura-by-aqualand-north-sydney-168-walker-street-north-sydney">AURA by Aqualand</a> will be the first grand residence in the area and is the anchor to it all.

While the majority of buyers in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/aqualand-australia">Aqualand</a>'s game-changing North Sydney landmark were downsizers and young families, now at 90 per cent complete, Urban.com.au is seeing several buyers looking to invest in AURA.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=202996]

AURA by Aqualand comprises 386 apartments above a two-level podium with several retail and commercial spaces which will activate the Walker Street streetscape.

AURA by Aqualand’s extensive retail precinct will provide residents with a curated shopping and dining destination on their doorstep, including a providore, bakery, café and wine bar, an all-day diner and a contemporary Japanese restaurant.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=218392]

Other resident amenities include a 24-hour concierge service, a Technogym-equipped gymnasium, a wellness room, a pool of Tesla cars to share, and end-of-trip facilities. A glamorous rooftop area offers a sky sun deck, private dining rooms, barbecue and kitchen space for year-round al fresco entertaining.

The building will also benefit from a building management system to monitor and control the building’s services to ensure efficient management and allow for early detection and rectification of any issues to ensure the building is always operating optimally.

Aqualand has also engaged a third party to undertake a peer review on quality assurance once the fit-out is complete, giving buyers even more assurance of a quality build.

<h2>Projects: Heritage</h2>

<h3>Location: 37 Virginia Street, North Wollongong NSW 2500</h3>

<h3>Developer: MODCO Constructions</h3>

Over the last two decades in particular, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/wollongong-nsw">Wollongong</a> has become the hub of the region, with extensive development of retail and hospitality precincts, the introduction of the electrified train line in the early 1990s, and hospitals and other industries making it the anchor point for all those who live in the district.

The appeal extends to Wollongong's beaches, lifestyle, and cultural offerings, making it an attractive location for owner-occupiers and especially investors.

iCIRT-rated builder developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/modco-constructions">MODCO Constructions</a> has been clever in its approach to its nearly completed <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/north-wollongong-nsw">North Wollongong</a> apartment development, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/heritage-37-virginia-street-north-wollongong">Heritage</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142643 project_image_fid=236240]

Despite only having 22 apartments, they've had PRD Architects design the floor so they're offering one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, which has especially appealed to investors enquiring in Urban.com.au recently.&nbsp;

Heritage presents a rare opportunity to purchase a brand-new apartment just 400 metres from North Beach.

Due to the size of North Wollongong, just 136 hectares, there's not too much opportunity to buy a brand new apartment. Comparatively, the suburb of Wollongong is almost ten times North Wollongong. The size of a suburb always tells us there's unlikely going to be an oversupply, which helps support prices for the long term.

Homeowners can anticipate a swift move-in by early next year.

The top 10 off the plan apartment developments completing across Sydney in 2024

Wollongong is to the Illawarra Region what the Eastern Suburbs are to Sydneysiders. It's the place to be. Its beaches, lifestyle, and culture, are just a handful of the reasons why prospective buyers are lining up to call Wollongong home.

Over the last two decades in particular, Wollongong has become the hub of the region, with extensive development of retail and hospitality precincts, the introduction of the electrified train line in the early 1990s, and hospitals and other industries making it the anchor point for all those who live in the district.

Wollongong has also become a realistic and viable option as a place to live for those who have previously been more central to Sydney, given the train network and the new way of working from home.

Wollongong is thriving with multiple suburbs having their own distinct personalities contributing to Wollongong’s culture.

The majority of the development has been in what locals call the "Wollongong CBD" changing the landscape of the city, while&nbsp;<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.urban.com.au/developments/north-wollongong-nsw&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1705008823631000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2J50W8pSSAjqmY2F7doGTB" href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/north-wollongong-nsw" target="_blank">North Wollongong</a>, benefitting from all of the new investment in Wollongong, has arguably retained its charm and stunning coastal views and lifestyle. There's also&nbsp;<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.urban.com.au/developments/north-wollongong-nsw&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1705008823631000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2J50W8pSSAjqmY2F7doGTB" href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/north-wollongong-nsw" target="_blank">North Wollongong</a>&nbsp;Beach, popular with surfers, swimmers, and pet owners.

North Wollongong is of course the home of the University of Wollongong, which has seen it attract both first time renters and first home buyers looking to live near where they study. There's also the mum and dad investor who have earmarked an apartment for their student-age children. There's also North Wollongong Beach, popular with surfers, swimmers, and pet owners.

Due to the size of North Wollongong, just 136 hectares, there's not too much opportunity to buy a brand new apartment. Comparatively the suburb of Wollongong is almost 10 times North Wollongong. A size of a suburb&nbsp;always tells us there's unlikely going to be an oversupply, which helps support prices for the long term.

iCIRT-rated builder developer MODCO Constructions has been clever in its approach to its nearly completed North Wollongong apartment development, Heritage Wollongong.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142643 project_image_fid=236247]

They've catered for a number of different lifestyle in the five-level project at 37 Virginia Street, under 500 metres from North Beach. Despite only having 22 apartments, they've had PRD Architects design the floorplans so they're offering one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, which will appeal to everyone from first home buyers and investors to rightsizers and downsizers.

PRD Architects had to be strategic in their approach to the design of the building. They had to work with a heritage-listed Magnolia tree, which now forms the focal point of the landscaped gardens.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142643 project_image_fid=236238]

The apartments feature a free-flowing design and hardwood European oak flooring throughout. The open plan kitchen and living and dining area opens to private outdoor terraces which are designed to offer both alfresco dining and allow for maximum natural light to flood the living spaces. There's also a private terrace off the master bedroom in some apartments.

Expansive outdoor terraces flood the home with abundant natural light, extending the living spaces and providing a tranquil streetscape backdrop for alfresco gatherings and dining.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142643 project_image_fid=236236]

The kitchens feature stone benchtops, Polyurethane cabinetry, Parisi tapware, and AEG appliances, while the bathrooms feature freestanding bathtubs, an open shower, and floor to ceiling tiles.

Modco has a history in the Illawara region, recently completing Aire Wollongong. They also have plans for a new development on 30 Bourke Street, North Wollongong, and 10 Pleasant Avenue in the same suburb.&nbsp;
