Construction on the Archibald by ALAND development commenced mid-2023, with the highly anticipated project transforming the 108 Donnison Street site into a vibrant lifestyle destination.

This development consists of twin towers on a shared podium, one facing Mann and Donnison Street and the other facing Baker and Donnison Street, housing 323 residential apartments, 130 premium hotel rooms and multiple food and beverage outlets.

Residents of the Archibald development will have direct access to resort-style facilities including a podium pool with a swim-up bar.

Apartments at Archibald by ALAND range in size from 58sqm to 280sqm total area, with prices for a one-bedroom starting from $450,000.

Archibald will also be home to a ground floor dining precinct and Gosford’s only rooftop Skybar & Lounge, which will have 270-degree, uninterrupted views of Brisbane Water. 

The central location places Archibald less than five minutes’ walk from Gosford Waterfront and Gosford Train Station.

The development is also a short walk from the University of Newcastle’s new high-tech campus which is set to be built on Mann Street in the coming years, making it a drawcard for buyers.

Speaking to Star 104.5 in 2023, ALAND’s Head of Development Ryan Lane said the Archibald is poised to become a landmark project for the region, re-activating the heart of Gosford with vibrant lifestyle-orientated living.

“The combination of residences, an upscale hotel, as well as exciting food and beverage offerings, a gym, and swimming pool, sets new standards for luxury living in Gosford,” Lane said.

“Residents living at the Archibald will enjoy a lifestyle that goes beyond their four walls.”

“Having integrated high-quality amenities means effortless entertaining with family and friends at the multiple food and beverage offerings, indulgent drinks at the Skybar or simply time to relax around the pool.

“The Archibald’s central location also enables easy connectivity to everything on the Central Coast.”
