Third.i to deliver 300 apartments in Marrickville TOD precinct

Posted on by tgmaster

Sydney developer Third.i has announced a new transport-oriented development in one of Sydney Inner West’s most sought-after metropolitan locations, delivering much needed housing within steps of world-class public transport and vibrant village life.

Located at 31-41 O’Hara St, Marrickville, the proposed mixed-use development will include around 300 apartments, with up to 17 per cent dedicated to affordable housing, reinforcing Third.i’s commitment to creating inclusive, well-connected communities that support a diverse mix of residents who keep Sydney’s neighbourhoods thriving.

Located just 100 metres from the new Metro station, the development places residents within minutes of the CBD while offering seamless access to the Inner West’s cafés, retail, and local services. Anchored within a thriving local centre, the project supports everyday living without reliance on cars, while also delivering new public open space for the local community, including a new park and landscaped green areas, alongside high-quality private resident amenities.

Florian Caillon, Head of Acquisitions for Third.i Group, said the project builds on the company’s ongoing work alongside the NSW Government to deliver housing and amenity alongside major transport infrastructure. Amenity includes an activated pedestrianise retail strip that connects Illawarra Road down to the pocket park, and health and wellness facilities. 

“Delivering housing of this scale within an established village is a rare opportunity, and few companies have achieved residential outcomes of this size at a village centre,” Caillon said.

“We are excited to set a new standard for urban living in the heart of Marrickville,” he said. 

The inclusion of affordable housing has been welcomed by frontline workers.

“We are supportive of developments which will allow essential workers like nurses, midwives and carers, the opportunity to live in the communities they care for,” said Michael Whaites, General Secretary of the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association..

“Many healthcare workers tell us they would like to live closer to where they work, but are being priced out of the market, forcing them to move further away. 

“Dedicated apartments for essential workers will support recruitment and retention in local hospitals and aged care facilities, helping to strengthen our health system.”

The project has been declared State Significant Development (SSD) by the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA).

The pocket neighbourhood that boasts fine dining, art deco architecture and celebrity spotting

Posted on by tgmaster

Potts Point has always marched to the beat of its own drum, and that’s exactly why it still attracts a beautiful blend of the well-heeled and well-read looking for a prestige pocket, creative types in search of artistic inspiration and the bohemian originals who found it all first.

Just east of the Sydney CBD and hugging the edge of Kings Cross, this tightly packed neighbourhood delivers some of the city’s best architecture, dining and nightlife, all wrapped up in a leafy, walkable village that feels a world away from the corporate city skyscrapers down the hill.

Set on the traditional lands of the Gadigal people, Potts Point was originally known as Derrawunn. Over the years, it’s worn many hats, from elite colonial address to bohemian playground, from risky red-light reputation to one of Sydney’s most prestigious inner-city postcodes.

Homes with history, and what’s next

Architecture in Potts Point is dominated by Art Deco apartments, heritage terraces and grand old buildings that have been lovingly restored or reimagined.

Standalone houses are rare and tightly held, which is why boutique apartment living has become the go-to for buyers who want the lifestyle without the upkeep. Downsizers, professional couples and long-term locals all gravitate toward quality, well-designed homes that feel part of the neighbourhood.

And that’s where the suburb’s next chapter comes in.

Muse at Potts Point

Set on Brougham Street, Muse Potts Point is one of the most talked-about new developments in the area, and it’s easy to see why.

Developed by Third.i Group in partnership with Toohey Miller and designed by WMK Architecture, Muse is deliberately boutique: just 13 luxury residences, each designed to slot neatly into Potts Point’s heritage streetscape rather than dominate it.

The mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments includes private terraces, city and harbour views and high-end finishes throughout such as Wolf and V-Zug appliances and statement Viabizzuno lighting.

Director & Co-Founder, Third.i Group Luke Berry said of the project:

“With elevated, gun barrel views of over the parks and iconic CBD skyline to Sydney Harbour Bridge and beyond, we’re creating something truly unique for the Potts Point community. All only moments to the city, beaches and harbour.”

Potts Point is one of Sydney’s most desirable inner-city pockets: affluent, densely lived-in, culturally rich and fiercely proud of its history. New developments are selective, demand is strong, and the community is protective of what makes the suburb special.

That’s the magic of Potts Point. It evolves, but never at the expense of its bohemian soul.

‘A new standard’: Third.i breaks ground on $300m Merewether over-55s project

Posted on by tgmaster

Construction on Third.i Group’s delayed retirement living development at Merewether Golf Club is officially under way.

The property developer broke ground on the site of the 178-unit Merewether Residences this week, with the project due for completion in mid-2027.
The one-hectare site includes one-, two- and three-bedroom luxury apartments across four six-storey buildings.

Third.i Group director and co-founder Luke Berry said the project will set a new standard for over-55s living.

“This project is more than just a development, it’s a community,” Mr Berry said.

“The Merewether Residences will set a new standard for over-55s living, blending luxury, convenience, and social connection.

“The overwhelming response we’ve seen so far confirms that this is exactly what the market has been waiting for.”

More than half of the apartments have been sold to a value of more than $100 million.

“With construction started and an end date in sight, we expect it will give buyers more confidence about the project – we’re particularly seeing an increase in buyers and inquiries from Sydney, a sign of the strength of the project,” he said.

The official start of construction follows the demolition of the former Merewether Golf Club clubhouse.

Temporary clubhouse facilities have been established to ensure members can continue to enjoy the club’s amenities without interruption.

The golf course will remain fully operational throughout the entire construction period.

Construction will be led by Decode Group, which is also delivering Third.i’s Dairy Farmers Towers project in Newcastle West.
“We’re proud to partner with Third.i on The Merewether Residences,” Decode chairman and founder, Sam El Rihani, said.

“This development represents the future of retirement living: sophisticated, sustainable, and community-focused.”

Resort-style amenities include a health and wellness space, a swimming pool, a cinema, a sports bar and the new clubhouse for Merewether Golf Club members and apartment residents.

The approved breakdown of apartments includes 12 one-bedroom, 121 two-bedroom and 29 three-bedroom apartments.

The development also has eight two-bedroom and eight three-bedroom penthouses designed by architect Eugene Marchese and overseen by EJE Architecture.

Merewether Golf Club members gave the green light for the 148 apartments to go ahead six years ago, and state planning authorities approved a development application in 2021.

Third.i hoped to begin work on the development in 2022; however, rising construction costs delayed the project.

Amended plans approved this year included the addition of an extra level to accommodate a further 38 units.

In April, Third.i announced a partnership with real estate investment trust Dexus to develop The Merewether Residences with its opportunistic fund series, Dexus Real Estate Partnership.

Mr Berry said the joint venture was the “final piece of the puzzle” in getting the project under way.

“We are one of their first major investments outside their traditional investments in office, and into the living sector,” he said.

“What it means for the people who have bought and hung in there after all these challenging years is we’ve now got the final piece of the puzzle.”

The new urban oasis: 7 Sydney apartment pools creating a sanctuary in the city

Posted on by tgmaster

Swimming pools are an increasingly popular addition to Sydney apartment buildings as buyers seek resort-style living in the inner city.

Whether it’s a sparkling sky-high pool boasting iconic harbour views or an infinity pool where the water’s edge merges into the city skyline, luxury swimming pools being constructed in new apartment buildings across Sydney are making a splash.

While a swim provides cool relief on a hot day, these pools are also set to be architectural masterpieces in their own right, complemented by further wellness offerings. With bold and sleek designs, they promise residents a quiet retreat amid the din of the city.

The Rushcutters, Rushcutters Bay

Posted on by tgmaster

Deicorp, Hyecorp Property Group and Thirdi Group have been shortlisted by the NSW Government to develop a St Leonards site with potential for more than 400 homes.

Group – is poised to restock its development pipeline after being shortlisted by
the NSW government to buy a key residential site in Sydney’s lower north

to encourage residential development, allow higher density mixed-use
construction around transport nodes.


The developers beat six others to the shortlist and will submit detailed proposals

The Rushcutters unveiled: rare 13-residence project approved in Rushcutters Bay

Posted on by tgmaster

Third.i Group, in partnership with NPACT, has launched The Rushcutters – a $106 million harbourside collection of just 13 apartments in Rushcutters Bay, approved ahead of the City of Sydney’s new No Net Dwelling Loss rule. 

Set in one of Sydney’s most tightly held inner-east neighbourhoods, the project offers a rare opportunity to secure a home of scale and quality, in a location where future boutique development will be increasingly restricted.

Nestled among leafy streets and moments from the water’s edge in one of Sydney’s most iconic bayside suburbs at 51–57 Bayswater Road, The Rushcutters comprises 12 exquisitely designed two- and three-bedroom apartments and one full-floor penthouse ranging from 121 sqm to 198 sqm.

Residents will enjoy Potts Point’s vibrant energy, renowned dining, boutique shopping, cafés, harbourside parks, and easy access to the water. Offering both lifestyle and inner-city convenience, the development is just 200 metres from the Kings Cross entertainment precinct and 1.5 km from the Sydney CBD.

With exterior and interior architecture by award-winning architects Woods Bagot, The Rushcutters honours the Art Deco heritage of the local area while seamlessly blending natural beauty with contemporary sophistication.

Residences capture north-west and north-east vistas through open-plan layouts, private balconies, and a communal rooftop terrace offering panoramic views. Interiors feature stone, timber, and brass finishes, premium Wolf and Miele kitchens, and spa-like bedrooms and bathrooms, delivering a refined balance of luxury, functionality, and comfort.

Third.i Group and NPACT launch The Rushcutters

Posted on by tgmaster

Third.i Group and joint venture partner NPACT has unveiled its luxury new apartment development, The Rushcutters, offering prospective apartment buyers a rare opportunity to buy brand new into one of Sydney‘s most tightly-held Harbourside suburbs.

The Rushcutters received approval before the City of Sydney’s No Net Dwelling Loss rule took effect in May 2025, which puts tighter constraints on developers mandating that any new development on a site cannot result in fewer dwellings than were previously on the land, ensuring that redevelopment maintains or increases housing stock. The expectation is this will make boutique development, like The Rushcutters, difficult to reproduce.

The development will comprise 12 two- and three-bedroom apartments, and one full-floor penthouse. They range in size from over 120 sqm to nearly 200 sqm. It will sit conveniently between the water at Rushcutters Bay and the cosmopolitan suburb of Potts Point, renowned for its dining, boutique shopping, and cafes, all while being just 200m from the Kings Cross entertainment precinct.

With exterior and interior architecture by award-winning architects Woods Bagot, The Rushcutters honours the Art Deco heritage of the local area while blending natural beauty with contemporary sophistication.
