The Brisbane developer Seymour Group is planning a high-end tower in the exclusive riverside suburb of New Farm.

Seymour Group, founded by rich lister Kevin Seymour, has submitted plans for a boutique six-level apartment development at 39 Griffith Street, a site bought at auction for $7.75 million in 2019. It was a record for the area at the time.

There will be just five apartments, including a double-storey penthouse in the building designed by Bureau^proberts, who note in their design statement to the Brisbane City Council that they seek to create an exemplary design outcome with residential amenity at the forefront of the design.

“The development maximises key views in and around the development, leveraging off its position adjoining the Brisbane River," the statement read.

"The proposal orientates balconies and habitable living spaces towards the Brisbane River to maximise outlook for residents.

"The primary materials are complimented by details of a finer scale to create rhythm and visual interest, including varied window forms, distinctive curved features, screening elements and layered landscaping."

Comprising of one three-bedroom apartment and four four-bedroom apartments, the development will maximise views, leveraging off its position adjoining the Brisbane River.

Balconies and living spaces have been orientated toward the river, encouraging the use of the outdoor spaces and following the principles of the New World City Design Guide: Buildings that Breathe.

“The primary materials are complimented by details of a finer scale to create rhythm and visual interest, including varied window forms, distinctive curved features, screening elements and layered landscaping.”

The large sweeping form of the build has been designed to echo the organic movement of the Brisbane River, while the double-story penthouse, riverfront pool deck and glass-edge pool heighten the sense of luxury within.

Vertical living greenery has been planted throughout to soften the visual aspect of the build, which presents as five-storeys from the street, staying consistent with neighbouring developments.

The site is within proximity to major developments, expansive open space, social infrastructure and public transport facilities, including Sydney St Ferry Terminal, the New Farm River Walk and Merthyr Park. Construction on the development began in December 2021 and is expected to be completed in mid-2023.

Long-standing and renowned developer&nbsp;Fortis has developed a solid portfolio across Australia&#39;s two biggest capitals, with more than $276 million in successfully completed projects.

The group&rsquo;s future is just as prosperous with new developments, valued at over $2.2 billion in the pipeline for completion in the coming years.

We&rsquo;ve taken a closer look at the top five developments Fortis has both in Sydney and Melbourne in 2022.

1. Piper -&nbsp;2A Wunulla Road, Point Piper, NSW

Piper is the first collaboration between Fortis and Dare Property Group, who has teamed up to create a rare new development in the most affluent suburb in the whole of Australia.

Sharing its postcode with some of Australia&rsquo;s most prestigious and historic homes, Piper,&nbsp;at 2A Wunulla Road, there will have just 15 exclusive residences, which will have interiors by MIM Design and sit in landscaping by Dangar Barin Smith.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6126 project_image_fid=191996]

There will be a mix of two, three and four-bedroom apartments across the boutique four-level building. Each apartment will feature soaring ceilings, open layouts and large living, entertaining, and outdoor areas. Some of the apartments will even have their own private pools.

The three two-bedroom plus study apartments start from 127 sqm of internal space, the three-bedroom apartments start from 161 sqm internal, and the biggest offering, the four-bedroom apartments, have an internal living space between 210 sqm and 260 sqm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6126 project_image_fid=191995]

&quot;The rich design palette places a deep focus on the polished and matte, the light and dark, the coarse and soft, heralding the mineralised and lustrous qualities hidden within Piper&rsquo;s natural forms,&quot;&nbsp;Miriam Fanning of Mim Design said.

Completion on the development is&nbsp;scheduled for the first quarter of 2024.

2. Mona Road - 1 Mona Road, Darling Point, NSW

Fortis will soon launch Mona Road, their first development in Darling Point, another high end harbourside suburb in Sydney.

The premium mixed-use development will offer both residential and retail at the Mona Road site. Created by award-winning architects MHNDU, Mona Road features six residential floors with a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with terraces and balconies capturing views across the city, harbour, nearby Paddington and surrounds.

The creative inspiration for the site comes from the history-steeped harbourside corridor it overlooks, with respect paid to the original brickwork of the fa&ccedil;ade.

Situated at the gateway to the Eastern Suburbs between Potts Point and Double Bay, the north-oriented site occupies a prominent frontage along Mona Road&mdash;only four kilometres from the Sydney CBD.

<img alt="" height="880" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/fortis_mona_rd_0.jpg" width="1200" />

Edgecliff Station is a 350-metre walk, while major bus and ferry routes are also within easy reach, providing regular services towards the city and beyond.&nbsp;

Construction on the development is expected to be completed by late 2023.

3. Colindia &ndash; 5 Colindia Avenue, Neutral Bay, NSW

Currently in the market in Sydney is Colindia, north of the bridge in the sought-after Neutral Bay on the Lower North Shire.

Inspired by nature&rsquo;s organic shapes and raw textures, Colindia presents as a sculpted artform, nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90627 project_image_fid=188118]

Designed by PBD Architects, Colindia&rsquo;s four levels comprise six half-floor residences crowned by a full-floor penthouse.

&ldquo;We approached these residences as a sculpted artform, inspired by natural, organic fluid forms and materials,&quot;&nbsp;Paul Buljevic from PBD Architects said

&quot;The use of curved walls creates a soft and inviting spatial experience, with masonry elements that accentuate verticality.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90627 project_image_fid=188114]

Separated from nearby buildings, Colindia&#39;s discreet street frontage opens up to just two residences per floor, with the penthouse sweeping across a whole-floor.

The feature balustrades on the balconies also serve to create added privacy between residences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90627 project_image_fid=188115]

From front to back, each residence extends the full length; the open-plan living designed to maximise the space, light and views, with full-height windows creating a connection to the terraces and courtyards beyond.

4. Pillar + Tide &ndash; 41A Blackstreet, Brighton, VIC

Just moments from the buzz and flow of Church Street and the idyllic Brighton waterfront, Pillar+Tide presents 16 contemporary residences that explore the relationship between the indoor and outdoor.

Presented as a monolithic structure with two street fronts softened by verdant greenery, Pillar+Tide takes over three existing sites to create a singular vision.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=88756 project_image_fid=192665]

Shaped by award-winning architects&nbsp;Carr, the design is defined by rhythmic fa&ccedil;ade elements, robust natural materials and an abundance of space reflective of Brighton&rsquo;s local architectural context.&nbsp;

&ldquo;The design language of Pillar+Tide is shaped by both permanence and longevity,&quot;&nbsp;Carr Managing Director Chris McCue said.

&quot;The interiors are under-stated, elegant and intuitively planned, but equally integrated with unique, thoughtful and bold contemporary architecture. There&rsquo;s a deep sense of timelessness, with the use of robust natural materials and a return to quality that will delight for years and generations to come.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=88756 project_image_fid=192660]

Considerable design emphasis has gone into planning the master suite and living areas to follow a spacious and open layout, while each residence is further complemented by wrap-around gardens and lush, low maintenance landscaping by&nbsp;Acre.

A rare and sought-after corner location, Pillar+Tide puts an abundance of retail, caf&eacute;s and restaurants within easy reach, together with excellent transport connections and&nbsp;tree-lined streets.

5. Brighton Street &ndash; 8 Brighton Street, Richmond, VIC 

Later this year Fortis is expected to launch their Brighton Street project.

Just moments from the bustling Church Street and Swan Street intersection in Richmond, 8 Brighton Street has been designed by&nbsp;SJB Architects and will see apartments and commercial suites built above a modern ground floor retail precinct.

Central to the vision for 8 Brighton Street is to reflect the site&rsquo;s rich heritage context, whilst also evoking a fresh, contemporary approach to living and working.

&ldquo;The location within Richmond &ndash; along with the Activity Centre zone which permits retail, residential and commercial &ndash; is what really sets this site apart from others,&rdquo; Colliers agent Ben Baines said.

<img alt="" height="856" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-08_at_9.32.12_am.png" width="1478" />

The design, materials and finishes will be selected to work in seamless harmony, allowing the completed building to grow into its inner-city surroundings.

Occupying a corner site in one of Melbourne&rsquo;s most popular inner-city neighbourhoods, 8 Brighton St enjoys easy access to the CBD and key business districts. The site has three street frontages, with an abundance of amenities in its immediate vicinity.

Numerous train and tram stops are less than 200 metres away, while the site is a short walk away from caf&eacute;s, restaurants, bars, supermarkets and parks.

Construction is due to be complete on the Brighton Street site by early 2023. &nbsp;

We’ve taken a closer look at the top five developments Fortis currently have across Sydney and Melbourne.

Joint venture partners Third.i and Phoenix Property Investors are preparing to launch&nbsp;Balfour Place, a new residential development in North Sydney&#39;s Lindfield.

In conjunction with Coles Group, the&nbsp;mixed-use development will be built on the existing Coles Lindfield supermarket.

The $180 million project, which will be marketed by CBRE Residential Projects, adds to Third.i&rsquo;s growing portfolio of developments, which include the Diary Farmers Towers in Newcastle. Their $2.5 billion pipeline also includes projects in London.

Local buyers have shown interest ahead of its launch next month, with demand increasing for larger apartments in Sydney&#39;s lower north shore.

<a href="/new-apartments/balfour-place-1-balfour-street-lindfield-nsw-2070"><img alt="" height="3376" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/balfour_view16f_side_on_balfour_st_final.jpg" width="6000" /></a>

Balfour Place will comprise a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments with private courtyards and rooftop gardens, to be built on top of a brand-new large format Coles supermarket, Liqourland, and heritage commercial space fronting the Pacific Highway and overlooking the Blue Mountains.

Luke Berry, Director of Sales and Marketing and Co-Founder of Third.i, said that his company and PPI were thrilled to be working alongside Coles Group community stakeholders to launch the project in the coming months.

&ldquo;When Third.i Group began working with Coles Group, we immediately highlighted there was an opportunity to improve the residential elements of development application, so in a partnership with and award-winning architects Rothelowman, we re-imagined the apartment layouts and created a mix of larger apartments, perfect for the down-sizer and young families we see as the likely purchasers of our apartments and we couldn&rsquo;t be happier to finally launch this project to the market next month,&rdquo; Berry said.

&ldquo;With Balfour Place, you will have everything you need at your doorstep. To be just a lift ride away from fresh food and produce, a barista brewed coffee and your favourite bottle of wine is the epitome of apartment living and that&rsquo;s exactly what we will be delivering with this project.&quot;

<a href="/new-apartments/balfour-place-1-balfour-street-lindfield-nsw-2070"><img alt="" height="3376" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/balfour_view05a_l313_balcony_looking_in_final.jpg" width="6000" /></a>The DA approved site, which spans over 7091 sqm, is set to start the second stage of construction in the first quarter of 2022.

CBRE&#39;s&nbsp;Ben Stewart said that the proximity and convenience offered at the project is one of the top selling points for the project.

&ldquo;The latest offering by Third.i and PPI has it all in terms of proximity to a train station and quality schools, as well as being positioned in a highly coveted north shore suburb where new apartment developments are scarce, particularly for down-sizers,&rdquo; Stewart said.

&ldquo;Our market research has indicated that demand for high-end living and conveniently located new apartments in the area is solid, with almost all initial inquiries coming from local residents.&rdquo;

&ldquo;We haven&rsquo;t seen anything like this on the market for a while and I anticipate the level of liveability coupled with the convenience of essential goods and services at your doorstep will really resonate with our buyers and product on the market won&rsquo;t last for long.&quot;

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=112016]

The $180 million project, which will be marketed by CBRE Residential Projects, is set to bring a new era of relaxed, contemporary sophistication to a landmark spot and adds to Third.i’s growing portfolio of developments.

Following recent development approval, Plus Architecture will continue its domination of the Gold Coast&rsquo;s prime property locations with Esplanade on Palm Beach.

Possessing a beachfront location in north Palm Beach, Plus Architecture&rsquo;s latest project, in collaboration with Pask, is a boutique collection of 16 residences on the sand of the Esplanade.&nbsp;

Plus Architecture Director Danny Juric spoke on the design aesthetic of Esplanade, which utilises natural materials to complement the unrivalled beach views, rather than detract from them.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107137 project_image_fid=182225]

&ldquo;Located on a secluded avenue along the beach, the soft repetitive rhythm of the eastern fa&ccedil;ade captures the essence of the ocean, accentuating the primary axis of the site and encompassing coastal living at its most sophisticated,&rdquo; Juric said.

&ldquo;Here, masterful architecture together with elegant interiors deliver a considered luxury residential offering of pristine beaches, tranquil parklands and a bursting cosmopolitan lifestyle scene, something many could only dream of. It is modern living at its most inspired,&rdquo; he said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107137 project_image_fid=182233]

Esplanade&rsquo;s interiors are an expression of coastal sophistication, underpinned by a warm palette of finishes set against an iconic ocean backdrop. Framed by panoramic views of the ocean and headland, the open-plan living area is a celebration of coastal luxury and timeless style, with residences opening to expansive terraces, connecting the indoor and the outdoor.

With spacious apartments starting from 220 sqm up to 446 sqm, Esplanade will provide occupants with shared recreational areas to enjoy such as a gym, pool and barbeque and dining areas. Featuring an elusive collection of communal amenities, ground-floor recreation spaces combine with dining facilities and generous storage &ndash; cultivating a resort-style living experience and a strong sense of community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107137 project_image_fid=182228]

Esplanade will be the next project to follow in the footsteps of other Plus-designed sell out developments in prime Gold Coast locations such as Luna Burleigh, One Cannes at Surfers Paradise and Del Ray at Kirra Beach.

Construction is underway with expected completion in early 2023.

In a move that will redefine art and culture for young people within Australia, France’s globally revered art and culture institution, Centre Pompidou, will join forces with STH BNK By Beulah to invent a unique venue in Melbourne for art lovers from toddlers, to teens and beyond.

Centre Pompidou is an architectural icon of the 20th century and is one of the most frequented cultural monuments in the world with more than three million visits a year pre-pandemic.

Following a long assessment by Beulah of some of the world’s most recognised art institutions, Centre Pompidou was chosen as its cultural partner due to a shared vision of creating cultural programs for audiences - particularly young ones - all over the world, while remaining deeply rooted in the city and being open to innovation.

Signalling the commencement of a long-term journey to ultimately create a unique offering of global importance for the Southbank area, Melbourne and beyond, the partnership will see Centre Pompidou bring its world-class expertise to contribute to programming exhibitions, workshops and cultural events for young people via 3,000 sqm of dedicated gallery space within STH BNK By Beulah.

The envisioned initiative, in close partnership with Beulah and local stakeholders, seeks to create stimulating bonds with the Australian contemporary scene, for the benefit of the STH BNK By Beulah residents and occupants, visitors and the wider City of Melbourne.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=27929]

Beulah Executive Director Adelene Teh, says Centre Pompidou will play a pivotal role in STH BNK By Beulah’s cultural strategy of exploring how future expressions of art and culture can inspire, challenge and enrich our daily life.

“We want to invite residents and visitors to open their minds and their preconceptions of the roles of the arts, wellness, sustainability and technology in their lives to transform future living," Teh says.

“In addition to expressions of the future, our cultural strategy will also explore Australia’s heritage and provide a platform that is incredibly diverse and inclusive."

The cultural partnership, curated by Futurecity, comes at the perfect time with Southbank’s planned arts precinct redevelopment currently underway, which has seen over $1.7 billion poured into the project by the Victorian Government.

One of the towers in STH BNK By&nbsp;Beulah&nbsp;will become Australia’s tallest building.&nbsp;There will be two towers at the&nbsp;City Road&nbsp;address, one rising 102 storeys, some&nbsp;366 metres in to the sky. There will be around 449 apartments across the two towers, as well as a hotel, commercial, and retail space.

The $2.7 billion mixed-use development, will also have its own Private Auto Club,&nbsp;Australia’s first-of-its-kind Private Auto Club.

The STH BNK Auto Club will give residents the opportunity to use the fleet of luxury vehicles,&nbsp;from&nbsp;BMWs and Teslas to Porches and Range Rovers.

The AU, a luxury apartment development situated across from Surfers Paradise Beach, is the first apartment development on the Gold Coast with interiors and common spaces by the interior design legend Greg Natale.

The Sydney-based Natale, who has clients all over the world, counts&nbsp;Hamilton Island House, on the exclusive Great Barrier Reef island,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Dawes Point House in Sydney, as some of his local work in his vast portfolio.

No designer has truly made it without New York City on their portfolio. Natale has previously designed a luxe apartment in&nbsp;Midtown Manhattan, and also a country house in Oklahoma in the Midwest of the USA.

The multi-award-winning Australian designer, who is known for his masterly use of pattern and colour, and his bold application of both in creating tailored, curated and sophisticated spaces, fit&nbsp;the bill for ASF Group,&nbsp;the developer behind The AU.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6762 project_image_fid=187220]

ASF Group&#39;s brief to Natale was to create&nbsp;something very layered, with a strong European influence.

&quot;I opted for a light palette with French Deco influence so that the owners could add personality to the spaces with furniture and art,&quot; Natale told Urban.

Rather than drawing inspiration from previous projects, Natale drew from the French Deco era for the interior design, inspired by French Deco motifs and finishes, crafting each space to harmoniously exist with the rest of the building&rsquo;s form.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6762 project_image_fid=191126]

&ldquo;The shared spaces have an elevated, polished and formal feeling which is a nice contrast to the beachside location. I worked with the organic, curvy nature of the architecture of the building and used curves and repeat circle motifs in my design,&rdquo; he said.

&quot;I love the European feel of the spaces right on this iconic beachfront location, and a favourite feature is the light and airy feel of the apartments.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6762 project_image_fid=190821]

There are just 12 whole-floor apartments and 2 three-storey penthouses in the striking 19-level building, which features a facade made almost entirely of golden class. One of the five-bedroom penthouses with its own indoor-outdoor pool has already been snapped up for nearly $9 million.

The full-floor apartments start from 255 sqm and have four bedrooms, all with accompanying bathrooms, kitchens with natural stone bench tops, and an open-plan living and dining areas and a 14-metre-long balcony that faces the beach. Luxury starts immediately, with a private lift entry for residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6762 project_image_fid=187246]

The resident amenity is located on&nbsp;the&nbsp;podium level, with a gym and residents&#39; lounge space, which sit beside the infinity pool that looks out across the sand and ocean.

The podium level also features a barbecue and dining facilities, along with a sauna, ideal for unwinding after a few laps in the pool.

With its cascading entrance, soaring lines and integrated greenery, Akin makes a striking addition to the South Brisbane streetscape.

Soaring 30-storeys above one of Brisbane’s most sought-after precincts, the Merivale Street site straddles the urban environment of West End and the artistic, educational and commercial hub of South Bank.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27815 project_image_fid=185118]

Designed by DBI Architects, Akin offers a diverse selection of one, two, three, and four-bedroom apartments, along with sub penthouses and penthouses boasting world-class design with intuitively integrated smart home functionality.

Five-star amenities like the resident’s lobby, business hub, rooftop terrace, gym, resort pool, wellness centre and outdoor dining all help to create a sense of resort-style living within the residences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27815 project_image_fid=185117]

Tallis Property Group noted the location of the development as the main influence on the outcome of the building artwork.

“The nexus between old and new, residential and commercial, work and play. In other words, the linking of contrasts," the team suggest.

“The result has evolved out of a process of collaboration with the architect and understanding how the building is to engage with the resident and the pedestrian alike.”

The developers said the scale of the building was integral to achieving their vision and creating an iconic building in Brisbane's South.&nbsp;

“Key to the work are the street level finishes, which, through tactility, richness of colour and sculptural materiality, activates the artwork, and kerbside on a pedestrian level. This materiality welcomes and encourages viewer investigation and involvement with the work.”

The street facade is an abstract landscape of contrasting shapes and undulations, utilising the light filtering through from day-to-day to add to the grandeur of the build. Concrete facades give the form a raw quality, while the introduction of greenery illustrates a contrast, furthermore, presenting the vision of the developers.

To the right of the main building, moss green tiles of a human scale create a textured wall, while also delineating the main built form. On the eastern side of the residential building the moss green tiles continue, where a third scale is introduced for a third artwork opportunity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27815 project_image_fid=185113]

Five configurations of two, three and four-bedroom residences are still available in the development, with the Sky-Home stage of the project released at the start of the year.

Construction is expected to be completed on the project by 2023.

Soaring 30-storeys above one of Brisbane’s most sought-after precincts, the Merivale Street site straddles the urban environment of West End and the artistic, educational and commercial hub of South Bank.



South Brisbane's in demand Akin apartments almost all gone 

The combination of substantial forecasted population growth, an existing and expanding retail hub, and the newly established North West rail link connecting swiftly with surrounding areas and the CBD, are all major drawcards for people moving from outer suburbs to Castle Hill, the epicentre of the Hills District.

The booming Castle Hill apartment market is set to welcome several developments in the near future, with developers continuing to put faith in the area given the strong pipeline of planned infrastructure.

Urban has taken a look at the top apartment projects&nbsp;currently selling in Castle Hill.

<h2>1. Astrid&nbsp;</h2>

<h2>Developer: CBD Core</h2>

Regulars to the Hill’s District, CBD Core have notched up a rather impressive portfolio over the last two decades in the area.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22748 project_image_fid=204929]

Taking up a prime spot behind the group’s Oriel project - the first new apartment building in the Showground Precinct - and a stone’s throw from the Hills Showground Metro, the group's latest project, Astrid is pitched to satisfy even the most discerning of buyers.

Comprising 94 apartments, a mix of one, two and three-bedroom residences are on offer, with completion on the project slated for February 2024.

Designed by Zhinar Architects, prices begin from $605,000 in the development, with CBD focusing on the needs of homebuyers post pandemic.&nbsp;

Not merely settling for a study nook in the apartments, Astrid will feature both indoor and outdoor communal spaces, outside of the apartments so those working from home have the option to still be away from where they reside.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22748 project_image_fid=204930]

Residents will also have access to a state-of-the-art gym, a resort-style heated swimming pool, and a rooftop with barbecues and seating spaces and a solar-powered cabana.

One, two and three-bedders can still be snapped up in the project, with floorplans spanning from 53 sqm.

<h2>2. Chapman Gardens&nbsp;</h2>

<h2>Developer: CG Group</h2>

A landmark development set to redefine apartment living in Castle Hill, Chapman Gardens comprises three low rise buildings in a lush landscaped setting.

Featuring a collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments and a limited number of duplex style residences, the PTW designed homes Entertaining spaces, high ceilings, gourmet kitchens and expanses of glass filter sunlight through the residences, while features such as ducted zoned air-conditioning and down lighting provide control the internal temperature and ambience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29359 project_image_fid=155217]

Designed by award-winning PTW Architects, the terrace-style apartments feature private courtyards and direct street access.

Two-bedroom plus study and three-bedroom plus study options have been crafted to offer house-like spaces within convenient apartment-living, targeting the family market.

More than half of Chapman Gardens is dedicated to landscaped grounds and alfresco entertaining spaces, which have been designed by Urbis.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29359 project_image_fid=155212]

Rooftop courtyards crown each of the three buildings, with dedicated barbecue and dining areas.

One, two and three bedroom apartments can still be purchased in the final release at Chapman Gardens, with Stage One of the development expected for completion late 2022, and Stage Two in late 2023.

There's also a handful of two and three-bedroom terraces remaining.

<h2>3. Castle Island&nbsp;</h2>

<h2>Developer: KWG Group Holdings</h2>

KWG Property’s $300 million Castle Island, comprises 295 apartments spread across seven buildings near the new Showgrounds town centre. Inspired by nature, Castle Island is the work of local architectural firm, Giles Tribe, and two international architects, Hong Kong’s ARVA Architects and DLN Architects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112005 project_image_fid=191248]

They brought a shared vision of integrating the surrounding landscape into Castle Island’s apartments.

On offer is one, two and three-bedroom apartment, featuring full-height glazed facades designed to offer extensive views so that residents feel connected to nature and their surroundings.

The one and two-bedroom apartments are being pitched at owner-occupiers and investors, while the premium 135 sqm, three-bedroom apartments are expected to generate interest from families, downsizers, and rightsizers.

The communal spaces have been designed by Glyph Studio and&nbsp;include a clubhouse, gym, lobby, library and co-working spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112005 project_image_fid=191249]

There's also private lounging nooks, yoga zones, games and play areas, space for rooftop meals and sunset drinks.

A large garden is central to the project, as well as three elevated sky gardens, which is complete with barbecues, a yoga lawn and twilight outdoor cinema.

Buildings Three and Four are currently selling in Castle Island at 4-6 Sexton Avenue.

<h2>4. Grand Reve</h2>

<h2>Developer: Kassis Homes</h2>

Billed as the most prestigious development ever offered in the Hills area, Grand Reve is a collection of 196 contemporary apartments across two towers.

Featuring studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as split-level townhouse-style dwellings, Grand Reve has been designed by Turner Studio with a particular focus on outdoor spaces. Dwellings feature open-plan layouts, accented with 2.7m high ceilings, allowing natural light to filter through.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94147 project_image_fid=152849]

Double-glass sliding doors extend the dining area to private balconies or terrace courtyards, with Wolf appliances featuring in&nbsp;the kitchens.

The two towers of Grand Reve connect at the podium level and offer views across the Hills District and out to the CBD. The landscaped podium gardens include extensive&nbsp;seating pods and resident dining areas.

Altogether, the project will deliver residents three communal garden areas, totalling over 2,000 sqm of open space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94147 project_image_fid=152846]

The booming Castle Hill apartment market is set to welcome several developments in the near future, with developers continuing to put faith in the area.

Castle Hill's top apartment developments on the market

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.
