All about the views series one: The four best apartment projects in New South Wales with picture perfect panoramas
It's becoming increasingly important following the COVID pandemic that apartments offer more than just a place to be when not at work.
They've become an office, a bar and a restaurant with entertaining and working from home now common in apartments.
One aspect developers are seeking to take advantage of now more than ever is orienting their apartment developments to take in whatever views are on offer, whether it's the city skyline or a beach vista.
It's no secret that our environments affect our well-being. Studies show that there are significant long-term benefits to viewing nature.
Urban has taken a look at four properties in New South Wales with views you won't get sick of.
Here are four properties in NSW with incredible city vistas:

Meriton's Allium, completed in 2019, continues to impress residents as they walk through extravagant lobbies and ascend to their over-large one, two, three and four bedroom residences. Apartments with large balconies or terraces serve as outdoor rooms with sensational vistas.
Designed by SJB and landscape architects Arcadia, the project includes lush fifth-floor podium gardens and rooftop retreats from the sixteenth-floor.
