Leading Australian developer TOGA Group has released the final stage of residences at its iconic Surry Hills Village precinct.

The last three completed terraces, known as the Marriott Street Terraces, will likely sell between $3.7 million and $3.9 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=342101]

SJB Director Adam Haddow, a Surry Hills local who designed the terraces, says terrace housing&nbsp;is synonymous with inner-city living in Sydney.

"At Surry Hills Village, each terrace has been individually designed with its own identity, a playful street presence, and generous courtyards at its heart," Haddow said.

"These homes are made for entertaining, thoughtfully balancing privacy and abundant natural light, all while closely connected to the surrounding retail, restaurants, cafes, and everyday essentials that anchor the community at Surry Hills Village.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=342097]

Each three-bedroom, three-bathroom terrace comes with a prized car space, a rarity for terraces in the Surry Hills/Redfern area.

They span two levels and feature a&nbsp;landscaped courtyard garden, a separate alfresco terrace with built-in Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and a functional scullery to ensure maximum preparation space while keeping sleek aesthetics in mind.

Each terrace’s striking facade reflects the Surry Hills iconic streetscape and allows natural light to fill spacious living areas and an effortless transition between outdoor entertaining areas and oversized indoor areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=342093]

The terraces are close to one of Sydney’s most sought-after new dining and shopping precincts, Wunderlich Lane with the hottest restaurants like Olympus Dining, Lottie and Bar Julius, all only 15 minutes from Sydney CBD.

Paul Shaw, Executive General Manager of TOGA Group, said it is rare to find a development that offers such strong synergy between space, privacy and connectivity.

"Residents can enjoy the oversized living areas, secluded communal gardens and private underground parking, while only being a walk away from the vibrant cultural offerings of Wunderlich Lane," Shaw said.

"The final three terraces of our exclusive Marriott Street collection offer a new way of modern living which has resonated strongly with both the community and the buyer market.”

"Made for entertaining": Inside the final Marriott Street Terraces at Surry Hills Village

Sorrento has long been one of Perth’s most sought-after coastal suburbs. This northern beachside location offers pristine shores, a vibrant marina lifestyle, and access to essential amenities—all just a 20-minute drive from the city.

The stretch of coastline from Hillarys to Marmion has remained a tightly held pocket, with few new developments brought to market in recent years. Seizing a once-in-a-generation opportunity was respected developer Megara, who secured a prime 5,777 sqm site fronting West Coast Drive—the closest street to the Sorrento sands—back in 2018.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136169 project_image_fid=213846]

Since then, Megara has been refining its vision in consultation with the Western Australian Department of Planning, aiming to sensitively introduce a new apartment development alongside an extensive retail precinct—much-needed in a location where housing stock has been limited.

The new development, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/ora-sorrento-128-136-west-coast-drive-sorrento">Ora Sorrento</a>, will deliver 73 two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, redefining beachside living in the area. Alongside its premium design, one of the strongest drawcards for buyers has been Ora’s exceptional location. While West Coast Drive runs for six kilometres—from Trigg in the south to Hillarys in the north—Ora is positioned in arguably one of the most desirable spots along the entire stretch.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136169 project_image_fid=213851]

With an expansive frontage to West Coast Drive, many of the apartments offer uninterrupted, never-to-be-built-out views of the Indian Ocean. To the east, residences overlook the neighbouring Geneff Park, a 14-hectare green space featuring shaded lawns, walking paths, and a marine-themed playground designed to cater to toddlers through to older children.

Ora is located directly on Marmion Beach, just before it transitions into Sorrento Beach. The marina precinct, one of Perth’s most iconic lifestyle destinations, features restaurants such as The Breakwater and Ishka, boutique retail shopping, and the Rottnest Island ferry terminal. The marina also offers Ora Sorrento owners the convenience of docking their private boats just a short walk away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136169 project_image_fid=213849]

Beyond the coastline, Sorrento delivers everything needed for day-to-day living. The trendy Flora Terrace, with boutiques and cafes, is just a five-minute drive, while larger shopping and lifestyle hubs, including Westfield Whitford City and Karrinyup, are just 10 minutes away and cater to fashion, entertainment, and everyday essentials.

In addition to the outstanding local amenity, a cafe/restaurants is planned for the ground level, as well as a full suite of private resident facilities on the podium level at Ora. These include a heated ocean-view pool with cabanas, a gym with a sauna, a residents’ lounge, and even a wine cellar, all located on an exclusive residents’ deck. Plus, residents can also enjoy a game of bocce or practice their putting in the private landscaped courtyard area.&nbsp;

Construction on Ora is now underway with PACT Construction and is scheduled for completion in late 2026.

Beach one side, park the other: The unrivalled location of Ora Sorrento

As Melbourne’s population continues to grow and demand for housing intensifies, large-scale, well-connected developments close to the CBD are becoming increasingly important.&nbsp;

One project leading the charge is <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/bradmill-yarraville-355-359-francis-street-yarraville-vic-3013">Bradmill</a> in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/yarraville-vic-3013">Yarraville</a> — a landmark regeneration of the former denim factory site into a thriving, masterplanned neighbourhood.

I recently caught up with&nbsp;Theo Della Bosca, Development Director at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/frasers-property">Frasers Property</a>, for an in-depth conversation about one of Melbourne’s most anticipated communities.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/W9nu7DBsUHE?si=9tD9zRL7rDbHIDgU" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

Bradmill Yarraville, on an unrepeatable 26 hectares just six kilometres from the Melbourne CBD, will become a&nbsp;vibrant, walkable neighbourhood, blending heritage, sustainability, and modern convenience.&nbsp;

It will deliver up to 1,500 new homes, a mix of townhouses and apartments. The first homes being brought to market are three and four-bedroom townhouses designed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>, which are already attracting significant interest, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/vic/why-families-are-flocking-to-townhouses-in-bradmill-yarraville?hash=92f39f1bd10345c973a925313699a08bdbad509d">particularly from families and downsizers</a>.

Families are drawn to the project for its variety of housing options, generous open space, proximity to quality schools, and the convenience of having a shopping centre within the community. Investors see strong potential in the area’s rental market and appreciate the low-maintenance, high-quality homes on offer. First home buyers are also showing strong interest, particularly because opportunities to purchase this level of housing so close to the city are rare.

Later stages will introduce a range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with all homes&nbsp;within the community to be fully electric, as part of Frasers Property’s commitment to sustainability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311186]

A key feature of the Bradmill masterplan is its mix of residential, retail, and lifestyle amenity — much of it set within repurposed heritage buildings.&nbsp;

The upcoming Bradmill Quarter retail precinct, which will front Francis Street and include a major supermarket, 15 specialty shops, a childcare centre, and a medical centre, will bring a convenient hub to Bradmill residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311275]

Another standout feature of the community is Bradmill Social — a resident-exclusive lifestyle precinct that will breathe new life into the site’s historic buildings.&nbsp;

“We’ve got a proofing house down there which will be converted to a wellness centre that will feature a yoga Pilates space, gym, pool, sauna, spa, outdoor barbecue area, basketball half court — so it’s got it all going on,” Theo says.&nbsp;

The iconic boiler house, a well-known landmark in Melbourne’s inner west visible from the West Gate Freeway, is set to be transformed into a vibrant lifestyle hub. The space will include areas for children’s play, a cinema, media and co-working spaces, lounge and dining facilities, bookable rooms for family events, an outdoor barbecue terrace, a community garden, and even dog-washing facilities — offering a wide range of amenities designed to foster connection and convenience for future residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311286]

Green space is also central to the project’s design, with an open space reserve threading through the community from west to east and connecting directly to the expansive 18.5-hectare McIvor Reserve.

Bradmill is being delivered in stages, with <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/figurehead-construction">Figurehead Construction</a> currently working on stage one. Residents are expected to move into the first townhouses&nbsp;before Christmas.

The Hon. Nicholas Reece, Lord Mayor of Melbourne was in attendance to mark the start of construction of the 28-level building which will offer uninterrupted views of Victoria Harbour towards the city and the Yarra River across to Port Phillip Bay.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9779 project_image_fid=314804]

As a natural extension of Melbourne’s CBD, Collins Wharf represents a significant transformation to the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/docklands-vic-3008">Docklands</a> area, from its industrial past into a sought-after residential precinct. &nbsp;

The revitalisation of this part of the city offers residents an opportunity to reside in a highly connected community surrounded by water and integrated green spaces, all while being a short walk from the city’s best hospitality, sports, arts, and entertainment, with exceptional transport options nearby. &nbsp;

Ancora is Lendlease’s third residential development to be delivered in the Collins Wharf precinct, following Regatta now 85 per cent presold and under construction.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9779 project_image_fid=318931]

In total, Collins Wharf will deliver more than 1,800 residences across six architecturally designed buildings, to be surrounded by over 5,000 sqm of parkland which is being delivered in tandem with the residences.&nbsp;

Designed by architect <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/warren-and-mahoney">Warren and Mahoney</a>, Ancora features one, two and three-bedroom apartments, known as the Waterfront Collection, alongside the exclusive Premier Collection which includes a range of three and four-bedroom townhouses, penthouses, and larger scale apartments.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9779 project_image_fid=318927]

The residences also connect to the neighbouring Regatta via a podium to allow easy access to a range of shared wellness facilities including an indoor swimming pool, spa, sauna and steam room, gym and multipurpose rooms.

Designed as an all-electric building with electric vehicle infrastructure, the development is designed to achieve a 5 Star Green Star certification.&nbsp;

Adam Williams, Executive Director, Development, Lendlease, said&nbsp;Collins Wharf is fast becoming a sought-after address, with strong market demand for the Ancora and Regatta residences located within the well-connected, inner-city community of Victoria Harbour.&nbsp;

“As a tranquil neighbourhood on the edge of Melbourne’s CBD, where Collins Street meets the water, Collins Wharf is transforming this part of the Docklands into a desirable place to live, work and visit.”&nbsp;

Lord Mayor, Nick Reece, said the&nbsp;appetite for quality-designed residential living in Melbourne is insatiable.

"We're pleased to see a development that opens the door to world-class lifestyle apartments, surrounded by waterways and greenery while remaining within arm's reach of the CBD.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“Melbourne's population is expected to swell by 142,000 residents by 2027, and it’s developments like Ancora that continue to cement our reputation as Australia's most liveable city.”&nbsp;

Ancora at Collins Wharf is expected to complete in 2027.
