Australian builder Conquest has been appointed as the project builders, set to bring Balfour Place to life, adding to an impressive project portfolio of over 2,000 properties, including the Crowne Plaza Sydney Burwood, The Greens Strathfield, La Luna Burwood and Soho Burwood.

Construction on Lindfield’s latest destination by developers Third.i, in conjunction with joint venture partner Phoenix Property Investors, has officially kick-started works this week, following a full project sell-out as demand for larger living spaces continues to grow. 

Demolition crews have moved in on the $180 million Balfour Place site, set to bring 59 apartments to Sydney’s Upper North Shore, which will be grounded by an urban oasis comprising over 7,091 sqm of retail and hospitality spaces. 

The project has been met with a swarm of eager buyers looking to secure their slice of Lindfield, acquiring over $100 million in sales since its launch to market earlier this year. The project, which is set to be built on the existing Coles supermarket site, is estimated to fast-track the development timeline, with construction expected to be completed by November 2024.

Third.i. Co-Founder, Luke Berry said Balfour Place has struck a chord with the Lindfield community and surrounding areas, with the project accommodating the growing need for spacious living. 

“Our project provides larger living spaces in an idyllic location with lifestyle amenities at your doorstep,” Berry said.

“We’re proud to announce a project sell-out and that we’ve fast-tracked construction to help meet market demands. Conquest, who are well renowned for delivering buildings of exceptional quality, have been bought on board to deliver Balfour Place.”

“It truly will be a legacy destination for the area and we couldn’t be more thrilled to commence construction,” concluded Berry. 

The latest offering will comprise a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments with private courtyards and a shared rooftop garden space to be built on top of a brand new large format Coles supermarket.

The Coles grocery hub will be double the size of the existing store and will include a Liqourland and heritage commercial space fronting the Pacific Highway, overlooking the Blue Mountains. Over 237 car parking spaces will also be available spanning across two levels.

Work has begun paving the way for a two-tower development lauded as a gamechanger for NSW’s second-largest city.

Dairy Farmers Towers are set to rise in Newcastle’s West End with demolition works now under way and construction due to be completed in the last quarter of 2024.

The development by Thirdi will deliver 184 one, two and three-bedroom apartments across the two towers as well as a five-storey residents-only shared work hub with more than 1600sq m of commercial and retail space.

The towers will include eight specialist disability accommodation apartments.

Dairy Farmers Towers will also include cabana pool areas with a lap pool, a wine bar and cellar, a state-of-the-art gymnasium and a pilates studio, as well as multiple function rooms.

More than 70 per cent of the development has sold.

“We’re thrilled to be able to begin construction during a time of challenges for the industry and want to ensure our buyers that Thirdi is pressing ahead with our construction schedule so they can be in their highly anticipated new homes as soon as possible,” Thirdi co-founder Luke Berry said.

“The West End is quickly becoming Newcastle’s beckoning lifestyle hub, complete with an eclectic mix of urban flair and character. Dairy Farmers Towers joins our stable of West End projects and has already become a legacy project for everyone to enjoy.”

The site was once home to Dairy Farmers, one of Australia’s largest dairy producers. Thirdi has reimagined the heritage-listed milk bottle and clock towers as part of the project through a pedestrianised, broader public art installation.

Thirdi is collaborating with CoPosit to allow purchasers to buy a property with just $10,000 in savings and the remainder of the deposit is paid in weekly instalments.

The project to bring Newcastle’s iconic Dairy Farmers Towers back to life has begun.

Demolition crews were onsite this week marking the start of what is expected to be a two-year project.

Once completed the Newcastle West address will be home to 184 one, two and three-bedroom apartments spanning two towers.

A separate five-storey residents’ only shared work hub will boast 1600sqm of commercial and retail space.

All of this on the site that was once home to Dairy Farmers – one of Australia’s largest dairy producers.

In keeping with its heritage, development firm Third.i has promised the heritage-listed, iconic glass milk bottle and clock towers will feature as part of a pedestrianised, broader public art installation.

Ahead of commencement of construction, following its DA approval from council earlier this year, developers saw more than 70% of the project sold.

“We’re thrilled to be able to begin construction during a time of challenges for the industry and want to ensure our buyers that Third.i is pressing ahead with our construction schedule so they can be in their highly-anticipated new homes as soon as possible,” said co-founder at Third.i Luke Berry.

“Our incredible Third.i team are smashing out our demolition works to get this underway and we can’t wait to announce our builder partnership to bring our vision to life in the coming months.

Dairy Farmers Towers is the fourth West End apartment project for the Sydney-based developer.

The Towers are set to include a range of exclusive amenities including co-working spaces, cabana pool areas with a lap pool, a wine bar and cellar, a state-of-the-art gymnasium and a pilates studio, as well as multiple function rooms.

“Residents will have some of the best views in town, as well as access to the harbour, great dining and entertainment options, and the transport interchange at their doorstep.

“We wanted Dairy Farmers Towers to be a West End icon, a landmark reborn to create a new chapter as a great place to live, work and play.”

Third.i currently has a large-scale residential development portfolio that exceeds $3 billion.

An official sod-turning of the Dairy Farmers Towers is set to take place in December, with construction expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
