Sydney developer FYVE headlines over $70 million worth of development applications submitted to the Bayside Council in January.

The Bayside Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) details that by 2036, the Bayside Council local government area will require an additional 28,000 dwellings to accommodate the LGA’s swelling population.

FYVE has&nbsp;lodged plans for an eight-level block at 5-11 Flora Street, Arncliffe, which will have 54 one, two and three-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

There will be a number of communal spaces in the Benson McCormack Architecture-designed building, a central space on the ground floor, and one on the rooftop which will home outdoor seating and extensive landscaping.

The Flora Street site is within proximity to a range of public open spaces, including Cahill Park and Discovery Point Park, which are just 700 metres away. Tempe Recreation reserve and Riverine Park are also within walking distance.&nbsp;

Across the road at 12-18 Flora Street, renowned architecture firm Rothelowman has designed another eight-level building, which will have 51 apartments (pictured main).

They designed the apartments to create&nbsp;seamless indoor/outdoor living, with expansive living spaces and open corner balconies.&nbsp;

"The design of 12-18 Flora Crescent is founded in exploring opportunities to maximise the liveability for the residents and create a building that delivers a positive engagement to the public domain through a focus on a “generous eye for life","&nbsp;the design statement signed off by Rothelowman Principal Ben Pomroy noted.

"The prototypical envelope in the Wolli Creek/Arncliffe precinct delivers buildings that create an urban edge interface to the public domain, through tall street walls, and lack of depth to building facades.

"Whilst the landscape character of the new precinct re-establishes itself, this more intense urban environment creates a strong contrast to the existing one of houses and gardens.

"The humble bungalows of the surrounding area, created connectivity to the street through elements such as the porch. These spaces allow residents to sit comfortably within their own private domain, yet still engage with, and interact with the life happening on the street.

A further 47 apartments will rise from 15-17 Kyle Street in the nearby Arncliffe.

Sydney-based architecture group Chanine Design has designed the plans for the owner-occupier focused building, which is nearly 90 per cent two-bed apartments.

The existing building will be demolished to make way for the eight-storey building, which will also include two levels of basement car parking.

The amalgamated lot spans a total area of 1,468 sqm and is located within proximity to the Arncliffe shopping strip precinct, as well as being within walking distance to Arncliffe railway station. A regular bus service also runs along the Princess Highway, providing a number of transport options to the Sydney CBD.&nbsp;

A large common open space is proposed across the ground level, within the north-eastern corner of the site, in addition to a rooftop communal space.&nbsp;

Botany has a fresh development application for two residential buildings at&nbsp;2-4 Bay Street.

The low-rise buildings, four and five-levels, have been designed by&nbsp;BKA and will have just 22 apartments.

Building A will comprise eight three-bedroom apartments, while Building B will consist of four one-bedroom and 14 two-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

The $10 million project sees the buildings divided into two distinct volumes, connected via a highly landscaped walkway. The open lobbies allow for natural ventilation and filtered light, and also allow for a visual connection between the entry of both buildings.

“Divided into two modest building forms, the street facing front block has been defined by its green facade. As well as this, the top level has been further setback to reduce the appearance of the overall height and promotes an articulated 'sky scape'. These setbacks have been used for generous balcony spaces,” BKA noted in their design statement.&nbsp;

A communal open space is set to be located across the ground floor, spanning a total 347 sqm, while Building A will be crowned by a rooftop terrace.&nbsp;

The Bayside Local Strategic Planning Statement details that by 2036, the Bayside Council local government area will require an additional 28,000 dwellings to accommodate the LGA’s swelling population.

Retired NRL legend Greg Inglis continues to shuffle his property portfolio, with the sale of an investment property at Botany.
The former South Sydney Rabbitoh secured $911,000 for the two-bedroom townhouse.
His superannuation fund had bought it for $850,000 in 2015 when it had been a $640-a-week rental.
Inglis offloaded his former Coogee home for $2,475,000 in August last year. He had bought the Coogee semi after his move from Melbourne at the end of the 2010 season.
He paid $1.1 million for what was then a two-bedroom federation home and then transformed the property into a three-level, four-bedroom home, behind its period facade.
The Kempsey-born star, who ­intends to come out of retirement for Warrington in next year’s UK Super League, appears on the ABC’s Australian Story on Monday addressing his challenges with mental health issues.
The 33-year-old reveals how he was gripped by alcoholism and ­depression whenever he was injured and then after his retirement.

“To have more than 60 groups through this one and having all four registered bidders on the day compete is pretty impressive and in-keeping with what we’ve seen recently. “This particular property ticked all the boxes for both upsizers and people looking to check down from a big home - the buyers were downsizers from Randwick," Hotait said.
