A new boutique development promises convenience, customisation and contemporary living in the heart of Sydney’s Upper North Shore

If there was a blueprint for how to do medium density housing in our major cities, Juliet Roseville could well be it. Located on Sydney’s Upper North Shore, close to some of the state’s most prestigious schools including Knox Grammar, Roseville College, Ravenswood Girls’ School and Pymble Ladies College, the residences are ideally positioned to encourage walking and public transport use while creating an enviable lifestyle of calm, comfort and relaxation.
Constructed above the reinvented Roseville Memorial Club — which itself is set to become a local architectural landmark — Juliet Roseville has been offered by award-winning, family owned developer Hyecorp which has been delivering homes in Sydney for more than 25 years.
With just 35 apartments over seven levels, the house-like spaces at Juliet provide the amenity traditionally associated with on-ground accommodation but with all the convenience of en plein air living. Light-filled interiors are complemented by spacious balconies which effectively double the available living space.
With one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments available, the boutique development is ideal for professional couples, families, downsizers and investors alike.
Central to Hyecorp’s interior design approach is the “Live Your Way” service, which allows prospective owners to customise their apartments to reflect their individual style. The bespoke service includes a studio appointment with an interior designer and the choice of two colour schemes for each apartment. For those with very discerning tastes, the bespoke upgrade packages offer buyers the chance to work with an interior designer to choose window coverings, lighting, underfloor bathroom heating and more.
Beyond the interiors, services at Juliet Roseville reflect the very best of contemporary living, with provision for everything from parcel lockers and dog washing bays to EV charging and car washing stations.
In keeping with its sustainability ethos, Juliet also enjoys an average NatHERS energy throughout the building.
While there is ample parking available, the site is conveniently placed near Roseville Village shops, just two minutes away, with Westfield Chatswood and The Concourse Chatswood less than 10 minutes down the road.
Families will enjoy the local parks and recreational facilities including Lane Cove National Park, Roseville Golf Club and Roseville Park Tennis Courts, while three of the city’s best hospitals are less than 20 minutes away.
From the sparkling new amenities to the well-serviced leafy surrounds, it’s hard to think of a better place to start your new life.

Borrowers cannot control the Reserve Bank, but they can control how exposed their household budget is to its next decision. The RBA meets on 29 September with inflation concerns still elevated and major-bank economists increasingly bringing forward their rate-rise calls. Fixed mortgage rates have also been moving, reducing the value of waiting for perfect certainty. …

A five-bedroom Palo Alto home designed by Steven Ehrlich is listed for $44 million, making it the city’s most expensive listing. Built around a dramatic concrete spine, the home features four courtyards and a pool.

For years, tech entrepreneur Asher Waldfogel and his wife, Helyn MacLean, dreamed of building a modern house in Palo Alto, Calif.
The couple, however, worried about clashing with the Mediterranean-style architecture typically associated with their neighborhood of Old Palo Alto.
So they tapped architect Steven Ehrlich to create a design that paid homage to its surroundings with stucco, mahogany and titanium zinc cladding. They spent $20 million over several years building the house, completed in 2005.
Now looking to be closer to their adult daughter on the East Coast, they are putting the five-bedroom home on the market for $44 million—the most expensive listing in Palo Alto.
Waldfogel is an angel investor who co-founded Redback Networks, a telecommunications-equipment company. MacLean previously had a career in fundraising.
The couple purchased the roughly 0.4-acre site for $7.1 million in 2000 and demolished a circa-1930s Spanish Colonial home. The house they built pinwheels around a central staircase. It has 7,900 square feet of livable space, with four distinct courtyards and a pool.
A key feature of the home is a cast-in-place concrete wall, or spine, that is two stories high and about 80 feet long. “There’s a little bit of controlled chaos in what comes out of the form,” unlike a perfectly uniform surface, Waldfogel said. “If you want that, you do it in plastic.”
Waldfogel said he and his wife are thinking about the next phase of life now that their daughter is grown, although they have not decided where they will move. They also have a home in Sun Valley, Idaho.
“Right now we’re just trying to emotionally let go and decide what to do next,” he said.
Palo Alto, an epicenter of venture capital and tech startups in Silicon Valley, is home to some of the country’s biggest tech titans. Sales volume and prices are rising, with a median sale price of $3.5 million for the three months ending in August, up 5.8% year-over-year, according to real-estate brokerage Redfin.
