As Sydney’s population continues to grow and urban planning priorities shift, the city’s property market is entering a pivotal period. The need for smart, large-scale housing solutions is more important than ever. In 2025, residential projects delivered at a commercial level, such as those we carry out at HYG, are emerging as a critical response to this demand.

While we operate within the commercial property sector in terms of scale and complexity, the end result of our work is distinctly residential. This hybrid positioning allows us to develop landmark precincts that are not only architecturally impressive but also purpose-built for modern living. In this article, we explore the latest property trends in Sydney, the opportunities for investors and residents, and the evolving challenges facing residential developers in the year ahead.
