<p>The sea change for those living on Australia's eastern seaboard has never been so alive as it has been over the last few years.</p>

<p>The pandemic changed the game for so many industries. Workers could work from anywhere for a long period, and a large number still can.</p>

<p>Sydney CBD's office vacancy rate sits at over 12 per cent, the highest vacancy rate in a decade according to the Property Council of Australia. No one is rushing back to the office.</p>

<p>The pandemic also drove house prices to record highs, giving homeowners a significant amount of equity in their primary residence.</p>

<p>Some made the seachange full-time during the pandemic and have since moved back to the city for work commitments, keeping the property outside of the city as a holiday home.</p>

<p>Those that didn't do that, and still have flexible work commitments which aren't likely to change in the near future, are starting to look outside of the city for their next property purchase.</p>

<p>Remote working has changed the weekender market forever. A&nbsp;weekend can be stretched to three or four days from the holiday home with remote working, rather than having to make it out of the city on Friday after hours.</p>

<p>Holidaymakers from Sydney tend to often look north and south at quiet coastal locations.</p>

<p>Some only want to head as far as the Central Coast or the Blue Mountains, while others&nbsp;want to be even further from the city, and are willing to drive there, or even fly, if they can spend longer than a standard weekend in the home.</p>

<p>We've looked up and down the New South Wales coastline for the best brand new seachange or holiday home opportunities.</p>

<h2>Project: Mana</h2>

<h3>Location: 86-90 Norton Street, Ballina NSW 2478&nbsp;</h3>

<h3>Developer: Omira Property Group</h3>

<p>Property developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/omira-property-group">Omira Property Group</a> is bringing their classic coastal style to Ballina, following success in the likes of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/byron-bay-nsw">Byron Bay</a>, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/currumbin-qld">Currumbin</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/kingscliff-nsw">Kingscliff</a>.</p>

They start from $1.95 million.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/c2-architecture">C2 Architecture</a>, whose concept embodies an iconic coastal aesthetic with architecture inspired by Palm Springs, is working with designer Mon Palmer of Bare Cabo Design Studio who has developed an interior scheme that emanates calm.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=144558 project_image_fid=264608]</p>

<p>Omira Property Group Director Alasdair Baker says the project will suit the local downsizer market, those who have been on acreages in the region, as well as those from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane who are looking for the Byron Bay-style lifestyle.</p>

<p>"The focus in this region has always been on Byron Bay, but when people travel north or south, they realise the same lifestyle opportunities, with multiple beachside precincts, exist up and down the coastline."</p>

<p>Baker says a project of this calibre needs to have a location to match, which is why they settled on a prime site on Norton Street, a literal stone's throw from North Creek and just over a kilometre to Ballina Fair Shopping Centre.</p>

Australia's best off the plan coastal developments in 2024

<p>The small coastal town of Bogangar might not be well known to those outside the area toward the Queensland and New South Wales border, however its other name, Cabarita, certainly is.</p>

<p>The two names of the area are interchangeable, locals say, and more use <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/cabarita-beach-nsw">Cabarita</a>&nbsp;despite the enclave officially recognised as <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/bogangar-nsw">Bogangar</a>. Cabarita is well known for its beach lifestyle, akin to its northern neighbours Casuarina and Kingscliff.</p>

<p>It's a spot where&nbsp;renowned Gold Coast and Northern NSW boutique townhouse developer Omira Property Group identified as a great spot for its latest instalment of a high-end, boutique townhome community.</p>

<p>Kai Residences, a collection of just seven townhomes on Willow Avenue, is in one of the best spots in the area, right on Cudgen Lake, a popular spot for kayaking, swimming, picnicking and birdwatching. It's also just three minutes from Cabarita Beach.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=113521 project_image_fid=263597]</p>

<p>Each townhome, designed by Omira's go-to architecture firm C2 Architecture who have created several of their projects in Byron Bay and Ballina, will have three or four bedrooms and a two-car garage.</p>

<p>They've been designed with a neutral palette, light-focused architecture, and a curated flow of space with an open-plan living and dining setting extending to a balcony that maximises nature light and brings the outdoors in.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=113521 project_image_fid=261091]</p>

<p>The kitchens are equipped with high-quality European appliances, while the&nbsp;master suite features its own ensuite and walk-in robe.</p>

<p>Practicality meets versatility with a multi-purpose ground floor room, likely to be utilized as a second living area given it opens to a private landscaped area which features a plunge pool.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=113521 project_image_fid=261079]</p>

<p>A study nook adds to the functionality of the homes, catering to modern lifestyles that often require dedicated workspace.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/omira-property-group">Omira Property Group</a>&nbsp;Director Alasdair Baker said Cabarita offered another opportunity to develop new, contemporary townhouses in a coastal hospot.</p>

<p>"Kai Residences is allowing locals to buy brand new in an area often starved of new housing," Baker said.</p>

<p>"By developing on the lake rather than on the beach, we've been able to create large, functional homes that are still just moments from the sand."</p>

<p>Well advanced in its construction by Sanctuary 28, Kai Residences is expected to be complete by August 2024.</p>

Omira bring modern luxury to Cabarita with Kai Residences

<p>Property developer Omira Property Group has carved out a reputation as one of the most architecturally-focused villa developers in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales and the southern areas of the Gold Coast.</p>

<p>Now they're bringing their classic coastal-style to Ballina, following success in the likes of Byron Bay, Currumbin and Kingscliff.</p>

<p>They've brought the same team down from their most recently completed development, Asana, on Byron Bay's dress circle Marvell Street. Asana comprised just three luxury villas which sold with prices ranging from $4.4 million to $4.6 million.</p>

<p>The new <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/ballina-nsw">Ballina</a> project, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/mana-86-90-norton-street-ballina">Mana</a>, comprises 14 luxury villas, each with over 220 sqm of internal space. They start from $1.95 million.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=144558 project_image_fid=264603]</p>

<p><a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/omira-property-group">Omira Property Group</a> Director Alasdair Baker says the villas will represent an opportunity for prospective purchasers to live in something Ballina hasn't seen before.</p>

<p>"Ballina has everything Byron Bay has and more at half the price tag," Baker says, calling the area a "sleeping giant of opportunity that's just about to wake up."</p>

<p>"The focus in this region has always been on Byron Bay, but when people travel north or south, they realise the same lifestyle opportunities, with multiple beachside precincts, exist up and down the coastline."</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=144558 project_image_fid=264608]</p>

<p><a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/c2-architecture">C2 Architecture</a>, whose concept embodies an iconic coastal aesthetic with architecture inspired by Palm Springs, is working with designer Mon Palmer of Bare Cabo design studio who has developed an interior scheme that emanates calm.</p>

<p>Marble features predominantly throughout the three-bedroom villas, with stone cladding, timber-look panels and white render on the exterior to create a cool coastal effect.</p>

<p>Hit-and-miss brickwork serves to protect the home from the heat while welcoming summer breezes.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=144558 project_image_fid=264613]</p>

<p>Baker says the project will suit the local downsizer market, those who have been on acreages in the region, as well as those from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane who are looking for the Byron Bay-style lifestyle.</p>

<p>Baker says a project of this calibre needs to have a location to match, which is why they settled on a prime site on Norton Street,&nbsp;a literal stone's throw from&nbsp; North Creek and just over a kilometre to Ballina Fair Shopping Centre.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=144558 project_image_fid=261478]</p>

<p>Pacifico Property, who sold Omira's Asana <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/byron-bay-nsw">Byron Bay</a>, is marketing Mana, which is slated for completion in 2025.</p>

<p>One of the villas has already been snapped up pre-launch for $2.4 million, bought by a downsizer from Byron Bay.</p>
