What We Build in North Sydney

New homes, renovations, extensions, dual occupancies, townhouses, and commercial fitouts. We work across both design-and-construct and construct-only projects, managing the process from initial site visit through design management, authority applications, build, and handover.

Our Approach to Every Build

Every Green. ANVIL. project, whether in North Sydney or elsewhere, is delivered with the director actively involved in construction, not just the initial planning. We’re experienced on complex, architect-designed projects, including detailed joinery, heritage work, and builds in live or constrained environments. Traditional craftsmanship is central to how we work, and we look for opportunities to repurpose existing materials and select sustainable options for new features throughout every project.

For apartment buildings and strata-titled properties, the coordination is more involved. Body corporate approvals, strata implications, and shared services add layers that a standard house build doesn’t have. Material deliveries sometimes mean temporarily using a building parking space, which affects other residents. When services need to go off, it can be building-wide. We plan for these constraints from the outset and keep neighbouring tenants informed throughout.

Planning Your North Sydney Build

We recommend a site-specific planning assessment before finalising designs. New zoning across North Sydney has increased allowable density near transport corridors. Suburbs including St Leonards, Crows Nest, Neutral Bay, and North Sydney CBD now allow medium-density development that wasn’t previously available. The current zoning may open up options your original brief didn’t account for.

We build across North Sydney CBD, Milsons Point, Crows Nest, St Leonards, Neutral Bay, Kirribilli, Lavender Bay, and McMahons Point. We also take on work in adjacent suburbs. Get in touch and we’ll confirm.

What types of projects do you take on in North Sydney?

New homes, renovations, extensions, dual occupancies, townhouses, and commercial fitouts. We offer design-and-construct and construct-only delivery, and we work with clients from the initial site visit through to handover.

Do you build multi-residential projects like townhouses or apartment buildings in North Sydney?

Yes. North Sydney’s planning framework includes dual occupancies and townhouses, and new zoning near transit hubs is expanding those options further. We build multi-residential projects and can advise on what’s achievable on your site given current planning rules.

What approval pathway do I need for a build in North Sydney, DA or CDC?

New homes, dual occupancies, and apartment buildings typically require a DA through North Sydney Council. CDC fast-track is available for eligible projects near transit hubs including St Leonards, Crows Nest, and North Sydney CBD under the Low-to-Medium Residential Policy. We’ll confirm which applies to your site from the outset.

How do recent zoning changes in North Sydney affect what I can build?

New planning rules have increased allowable density near transport corridors across North Sydney. Some sites previously limited to a single dwelling can now accommodate dual occupancies or townhouses. A site-specific planning assessment before committing to a design is worth the effort. We can help you understand what the current zoning means for your site.
