	<li>TOGA launches final residences at Surry Hills Village</li>
	<li>Marriott Terraces brings modern floorplans to inner-city terrace living</li>
	<li>Live next door to Wunderlich Lane, Sydney's hottest hospitality precinct</li>
</ul>

<hr />
In a city where real estate is as much about lifestyle as it is about location, few offerings stand out quite like the final release at TOGA's <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/surry-hills-village-redfern-6-14-baptist-street-redfern-nsw-2016">Surry Hills Village</a>.

The builder-developer, who completely transformed the former Surry Hills Shopping Village into the most thriving mixed-use residential and hospitality precinct in Sydney, has revealed Marriott Street Terraces, the final three terraces in the landmark development.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a> Director Adam Haddow has reimagined the traditional Sydney terrace, paying homage to the classic inner-city form while infusing contemporary finishes and functionality.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=342094] 
 
Each terrace boasts a distinct facade on Marriott Street, an intentional detail that underscores the sense of individuality. SJB cleverly flipped a traditional floorplan upside down, so the main living space sits above the streetscape.

The three bedrooms, including a master suite with walk-through wardrobe and ensuite, are located on the entry level of the terrace. There are two sets of stairs to access the second level, either internal or external through the landscaped ground floor courtyard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=342098]

Much like the design of the apartments, the statement kitchen is the focal point of the terraces, finished in lustrous Pietra Verde and sintered stone. Designed for entertaining as much as cooking, the kitchen features top-of-the-line Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, a functional scullery, and a sculptural kitchen island that acts as a dividing point between the kitchen and the adjoining living and dining space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=342097]

Each living room features a fireplace and a discreetly located cocktail bar with Sub-Zero wine fridge, tucked away behind leather-bound pocket doors.

The kitchen opens to an adjoining terrace with a built-in Wolf barbecue and an adjoining alfresco terrace, oriented to the west to catch the evening sun. Each terrace also comes with private parking and additional storage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=342096]

TOGA's Head of Sales, Anthony Falas, says the&nbsp;Marriott Street Terraces offer a rare opportunity to own a home that seamlessly blends luxury design with an exceptional location.

"Every detail, from spacious living areas to sophisticated finishes, has been crafted for modern living.

"With only three terraces remaining, this is an exclusive chance to secure a prestigious residence.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=342101]

The Marriott Street Terraces are the final piece in the puzzle of Surry Hills Village, a vision that began in 2016 when TOGA secured the aging shopping mall.

All of the venues are now open in Wunderlich Lane, the most talked-about hospitality precinct in inner Sydney. The Marriott Terraces are less than 100m to 25 speciality bars, restaurants, food purveyors, and retailers, from Harris Farm and Vintage Cellars to Olympus Dining and Bar Julius.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=342091]

Further than what’s offer on Wunderlich Lane, Marriott Street Terraces are tucked away off Cleveland Street, the dividing road between <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/redfern-nsw-2016">Redfern</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/surry-hills-nsw-2010">Surry Hills</a>. Across Cleveland Street is the southern end of Crown Street, considered one of Sydney’s best streets for nightlife.

Marriott Street Terraces represent the last chance to buy into what is fast becoming a Surry Hills landmark.​

Summary:

<ul>
	<li aria-level="1">LUMA, a project by Development Victoria, is an established community in the growing Sunshine North area</li>
	<li aria-level="1">Residents have begun moving into their homes as part of the first stage</li>
	<li aria-level="1">Willbowbark Park has been completed and officially opens this month</li>
	<li aria-level="1">Stage 2 is now selling and construction of homes has commenced</li>
</ul>

<hr />
<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/development-victoria">Development Victoria</a> has started to welcome the first residents at its burgeoning <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/development-victoria">Sunshine North</a> masterplanned community, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/luma-sunshine-north-247-st-albans-road-sunshine-north">LUMA</a>.

Development Victoria, the development arm of the Victoria Government, sold out the first stage of the community, located halfway between Ginifer and Albion Stations.

They’ve recently started construction on the second stage, a mix of 85 one, two, three, and four-bedroom townhouses, purposefully varied in configurations which have drawn the eye of everyone from first home buyers and investors to young families and downsizers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27783 project_image_fid=286483]

The homes at LUMA are designed with a focus on sustainability and are all-electric, featuring solar PV with battery storage, double-glazed windows, and a minimum 7-star <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/guides/what-is-a-nathers-rating-in-new-off-the-plan-apartment-developments">NatHERS</a> energy rating.

Development Victoria ensured the first residents to call LUMA home would already be part of a community. As part of the first stage is the 3,600 sqm Willbowbark Park, set to open in April. The park, a short walk from the townhouses in the first two stages at LUMA, will have a fully equipped children’s playground, a sheltered BBQ, picnic area, and large grass expanses, met with clusters of retained established trees.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27783 project_image_fid=96894]

Plans for a pedestrian and vehicle bridge over Stony Creek via Metherall Street will further connect LUMA to the surrounding neighbourhoods, while following stages will include the future development of a commercial and retail precinct within the masterplan.

Positioned near the proposed Sunshine Precinct, LUMA will benefit from significant infrastructure projects, including the future Sunshine Station Superhub, Melbourne Airport Rail, and the Western Rail Plan, enhancing connectivity to Melbourne’s CBD, the airport, and regional areas.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27783 project_image_fid=255556]

The broader Sunshine Precinct is expected to become a major employment and innovation hub, supporting up to 45,000 jobs and 70,000 residents.

Development Victoria is a government agency partnering with industry and communities to create sustainable, liveable places for people. They unlock underutilised land to deliver housing across Victoria, from house and land communities in Officer and Springvale, to mixed-use precincts in Fitzroy and Kew. They build a variety of homes and communities where people can thrive while catering to different budgets, lifestyles and needs so that more people can live where they want to be at prices they can afford.

To make home ownership more accessible, Development Victoria is offering a low-deposit scheme. Buyers can secure a home at LUMA with just a 2.5 per cent deposit upfront, with a further 2.5 per cent required up to six months after signing the contract.&nbsp;

With no progress payments required during construction, this initiative aims to provide more Victorians with the opportunity to enter the property market in a well-connected and growing community.&nbsp;

A Priority Access Program is also in place, providing eligible buyers with an early opportunity to secure homes before they are made available to the broader market.

Olio Officer: Connected and affordable living in Melbourne's south east growth corridor

Sydney rich-lister Ian Malouf has launched a sales campaign for the three-level spread atop his completed Broadbeach apartment development, REMI Residences.

The REMI Residences penthouse on Surf Parade spans 1,200 sqm and features six bedrooms, two of which are in a self-contained apartment, and a&nbsp;wine cellar with a dedicated tasting room.

The private rooftop is the standout, complete with a swimming pool and a rooftop pickleball court, the first in the world.

<img alt="REMI" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="35123635-971e-40d7-83ea-f4eed18c858e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-04-07%20at%201.35.44%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=Z2aGQZJXp6zRBjKX8hDAlSPGnUZh3hVc" />

&nbsp;

“This development reflects what we like in our yachts and residences in scale, design, finishes and artwork," Malouf said.

"Our objective was to create a world-class penthouse."

Highland agent Hanan Cawley says there is no completed luxury penthouse product of this calibre currently available in the central Gold Coast.

“This is a rare chance to experience and purchase an ultra-luxury residence that is not just conceptual, but fully complete and ready to occupy.”

<img alt="REMI" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a61367ab-e871-41e7-90ac-73527cbb8159" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-04-07%20at%201.36.11%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=EaD7T5imi7.l5FagOMUJj5OPLFtC.o5z" />

&nbsp;

REMI Residences, completed last year, features a suite of five-star amenities including spa treatment rooms, saunas and steam rooms, hot and cold plunge pools, and a 15-metre lap pool.

David Highland, CEO of Highland Property, said the REMI penthouse is&nbsp;one of the most remarkable penthouses he's seen anywhere in the world.

&nbsp;

“It’s not just the size and scale—it’s the lifestyle, the finish, the readiness. Ian’s created something truly iconic here.”

World-first rooftop pickleball court crowns new Gold Coast penthouse

International DJ Paul Fisher and his wife Chloe have revealed their much-anticipated Palm Beach apartment development, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/pescado-palm-beach-229-jefferson-lane-palm-beach-qld-4221">Pescado</a>.

The $50 million development, on the dress circle Jefferson Lane, is being developed by the Fishers new development company, YLB Property Developments, and will home just seven ultra-luxury apartments designed by the Fishers and BDA Architecture.

The Fishers, who intend to retain the two-level penthouse, have already appointed Gold Coast construction company HNKN to build Pescado.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149651 project_image_fid=342040]

Located at 228-230 Jefferson Lane, Palm Beach, Pescado will be designed as a tranquil retreat, offering a seamless blend of architectural sophistication and relaxed beachside living.

Designed in collaboration with leading BDA Architecture, Pescado will set a new standard for premium, low-density living, offering just six full-floor residences and an expansive two-level penthouse in the eight-level building.

Fisher, who has travelled extensively, describes Palm Beach as his personal retreat and the inspiration behind Pescado.

“After weeks on the road, all I can think about is getting home,” Fisher said.

“That feeling of calm, of being fully present, is what we want to bring to Pescado.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149651 project_image_fid=342042]

Each three-bedroom, three-bathroom home will feature expansive open-plan layouts, high-end finishes, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Prices start from $5.25 million.

Designed with an emphasis on wellness, functionality and meaningful social spaces, the residence features a resort-style pool, gym, cold plunge, BBQ, and dining areas, encouraging a balanced lifestyle.

“Palm Beach is part of my DNA, and that’s reflected in Pescado’s design, which captures the natural rhythm and energy of the coastline – it’s wavy and groovy, just like my music,” Fisher added.

“We wanted to create a space where people can entertain, bring their friends over, and truly enjoy the coastal lifestyle.

“Pescado is not just another luxury development—it’s a deeply personal project for us. We’re not just building this place and moving on; this is our forever home. Every detail has been considered to ensure that Pescado is a special place, not just for us but for everyone who becomes part of this journey.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149651 project_image_fid=342044]

The name ‘Pescado’ – Spanish for ‘fish’ – is a nod to Fisher’s time in Ibiza, where the nickname stuck. Chloe Fisher, Co-founder of YLB Developments, has led the interior design direction, ensuring Pescado balances elegance with everyday comfort.

“Pescado’s interiors are designed to blend elegance with comfort to ensure it feels like a home, not just a house,” Chloe Fisher said.

“We’ve drawn influence from some of our favourite hotels around the world, with a strong focus on sustainability and liveability – and for me, it’s all about creating a true sense of home.

“We took inspiration from our homes in LA and Ibiza, using organic textures and neutral tones, with subtle pops of sage green and blush pink to give Pescado its own personality without overpowering the coastal feel.

“Functionality has remained at the forefront of the design. We’ve stayed in some of the most beautiful homes around the world, and yet, often we find that the high-end design doesn’t always translate to practicality."

Fisher said they&nbsp;wanted to ensure that every aspect of Pescado was purposeful and considered.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149651 project_image_fid=342048]

The development team have worked alongside leading architects and designers to bring the project to life, ensuring the highest standard of craftsmanship and architectural integrity. BDA Architects has delivered a design that integrates contemporary coastal architecture with timeless interior appeal.

Darren Greenaway, Director of BDA Architects, said the wave-like façade was deliberately designed to reflect the transition from chaos to calm, with the architecture symbolising a journey from the noise of daily life into a private sanctuary.

“Pescado reinterprets the Gold Coast’s coastal vernacular with modern influences, using crafted brickwork, travertine, and expansive, light-filled spaces to ensure lasting elegance,” said Greenaway.

“Our goal was to incorporate a fluid, organic curvature into the façade so that when people look at Pescado, they experience the same sense of serenity they would watching the ocean.”

With approvals secured, sales are now underway, exclusively represented by Pezet Matheson.

Jayde Pezet, Managing Director of Pezet Matheson, said they anticipate strong demand for boutique beachside developments of this calibre.

“Pescado’s craftsmanship, prime location, and exclusivity will set it apart in the Palm Beach market," Pezet said.

“As interest in high-end, low-density residences continues to grow, Pescado is expected to become a defining addition to Palm Beach’s landscape—offering both prestige and enduring value.”

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=149651]

Fisher, who has travelled extensively, describes Palm Beach as his personal retreat and the inspiration behind Pescado.
