Developers have lodged plans for another apartment building in the rapidly changing Brunker Road growth corridor.
The four-storey building on the corner of Brunker and Vere roads is the latest in more than a dozen apartment projects proposed or built on the Adamstown strip in the past five years.
The "Parkview" building includes 15 apartments, 17 parking spots and a shopfront on the ground floor.
The developer had applied to exceed the 14-metre height limit for the site by 2.6 metres but reduced this to 0.75 metres after consulting with City of Newcastle staff.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics' 2021 Census showed the Adamstown population had increased 4.8 per cent in the five years since 2016.
The number of townhouses in the suburb had grown from 380 to 440 in that time.
Adamstown is one of five corridors in Newcastle, along with Broadmeadow, Mayfield, Islington and Hamilton, identified for higher-density living in council planning controls.
