Urban Property Group tops out The Waterfront at Central Coast Quarter
Urban Property Group has marked a significant milestone in the delivery of Central Coast Quarter, with the structural completion of its first tower, The Waterfront, now officially topped out.
The 21-storey building comprises 134 apartments above a retail precinct that will redefined Gosford CBD when completed towards the end of 2025.
Patrick Elias, CEO Of Urban Property Group said, “This is Urban’s first project on the Central Coast, and it’s also the tallest and most ambitious we’ve delivered to date.”
The topping-out ceremony brought together key partners and stakeholders from the Council, government, industry, and the community, with the traditional hoisting of the tree marking this important rite of passage in the project's life.
Central Coast Council Mayor Lawrie McKinna said that The Waterfront at Central Coast Quarter will provide new options as the population grows. Gosford City is the heart of the Central Coast, and this project will provide not just homes, but a whole new community, for people who want to live near beautiful Brisbane Waters,” he said.
Urban Property Group, an iCIRT-rated and award-winning Australian developer-builder, is delivering The Waterfront as the first of three towers in the Central Coast Quarter precinct on the former Gosford Primary School site.
Mr Elias said, “We’re proud to be delivering this stage, and proud to be part of the Central Coast’s future.”

Gosford’s Archibald by ALAND development has been named the Best Mixed-Use Development in the Asia-Pacific at a ceremony hosted by the International Property Awards at London’s famous Savoy hotel.

TChe $375m development offers a mix of 323 residential apartments, hospitality venues and a 130-room voco® hotel and five hospitality venues, including a ground floor pub.

The International Property Awards celebrate the best in architecture, development, marketing, interior design and real estate. Winners are chosen by a 100-strong judging panel of respected industry leaders.

Competition for these coveted awards is intense – each year the panel receives around 2,400 entries from 125 countries. Judging focuses on design, quality, service, innovation, originality and sustainability.

Congratulations to ALAND Founder and CEO Anrew Hrsto says he is delighted that Archibald by ALAND has won such a prestigious international award.

“To achieve global recognition like this is quite amazing – and even more so because Archibald by ALAND is still under construction,” he said.

“Clearly the judges were impressed by the quality of the design, attention to detail and the sheer beauty of this development which has already been warmly embraced by the people of Gosford.”

Archibald by ALAND was previously named Australia’s Best Mixed-Use Development at the 2024 Asia Pacific Property Awards.

Overlooking Brisbane Water, this project combines cutting-edge architecture, bold contemporary interiors and premium finishes, setting a new standard for apartment living on the Central Coast.

ALAND CEO George Tadrosse says the International Property Award reflects the company’s ambition to create an iconic building for Gosford.

Central Coast Council Mayor, Cr Lawrie McKinna, who was Mayor of Gosford City as the time the development was approved and was the first major development in 40 years said, “ALAND fully deserves the new award, which recognizes the Archibald’s architectural excellence and its attractive mix of residential and hospitality elements.

“Winning this prestigious award puts Gosford on the world stage, which is very exciting as we prepare for the opening of this new precinct," Mayor McKinna said.

“I have no doubt that Archibald by ALAND is going to transform downtown Gosford, bringing locals and visitors alike back into the city centre. The award-winning development includes a pub, family-friendly eateries and a rooftop bar, the highest on the Central Coast.”

ALAND is putting the final touches to the Archibald development. Residents are expected to move into their apartments towards the middle of this year, with voco® Gosford due to open its doors sometime later.

Work on the company’s second Gosford development, Amalfi by ALAND on Mann Street, is due to commence in 2026.
