Devwest commence construction on Subiaco apartments, Olive St.

Developer builder, Jadecorp, has lodged pans for a site in Brisbane's north in Lutwyche, near to&nbsp;Kedron Brook and Lamington Markets.

The Brisbane-based group, led by director John Dracakis, are set to construct a mid-rise residential building at 21-23 Norman Avenue, which will take advantage of the site's proximity to high frequency public transport nodes and extensive access to public parkland.&nbsp;

Located just 6.5 kilometres from the CBD, Norman Avenue and the immediate surrounding area is currently in a state of transition on account of the adoption of the Lutwyche Corridor Neighbourhood Plan around a decade ago, which encouraged a higher density living environment in order to capitalise on the locality's proximity to the Northern Busway Corridor.&nbsp;

<img alt="Renders of the proposed Norman Ave site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="195b4417-ce4b-4fbd-8711-f6f61d89bde8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-08%20at%201.46.26%20pm_0.png?VersionId=tnTizFsKVPTdnz5tFvk6byZwLsWAdgx4" />Renders of the proposed Norman Ave site.

The 1,620 sqm site presents a single street frontage to Norman Avenue, with two pre-1947 dwellings currently occupying the site.&nbsp;

They'll be demolished to make way for 42 new apartments, with 10 one-bed, 20 two-bed and 12 three-bedroom residences proposed.&nbsp;

Jadecorp engaged Hayes Anderson Lynch&nbsp;Architects (HAL) to design the building, which will feature a mix of brick cladding and brick face screening to the facade, complemented with powder coated aluminium timber-look batten screening, and balustrade glass.&nbsp;

HAL said they wanted to create a vibrant and contemporary residential building which still retains a human scale and promotes casual surveillance by adopting balconies, opening and windows overlooking Norman Ave.&nbsp;

"Each apartment within the development is inclusive of generously dimensioned private balconies that activate each façade and reduce visual bulk. Fine level elevation detailing and screening techniques maintain privacy for future residents and neighbours, contribute to improved façade articulation and create desirable three dimensional shading effects," HAL said in their Town Planning Assessment.

The three-bedders on the top level are the most expansive of the offering, with over 135 sqm of internal living space. Each benefit from their own generously-sized terrace balcony, with over 70 sqm of space on offer.

Crowning the development will be a rooftop garden, with outdoor dining and barbecue facilities, as well as deep planting and a lawn area.&nbsp;

The site is just a four-minute walk from Lutwyche Bus Station, as well as Kedron Brook Bus Station, which will ferry future residents directly to the CBD and other regional centres and activity hubs on the north-side of Brisbane seamlessly.&nbsp;

Residents will also be well placed to utilise the extensive Kedron Brook parkland and bicycle network, which is located just under 200 metres from the site.&nbsp;

Kokoda Property are pushing forward with their $2.5 billion project pipeline despite the effects of the nationwide construction crisis currently plaguing the industry.

The situation has been exacerbated by a significant number of major property and construction companies facing collapse due to housing shortages, rising global material costs, and supply chain disruptions.

The resulting spike in construction company insolvency, which has increased by 90 per cent compared to the previous financial year, has left many in the industry feeling fearful and uncertain about the future.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=12457 project_image_fid=200171]

Kokoda Property Managing Director and Founder Mark Stevens said that they won’t be putting any projects on hold.

“Demand will soon outstrip supply based on forecasted population growth across major Australian capital cities and will be further exacerbated by record migration, especially in Queensland," Stevens said.&nbsp;

“While some view it as a volatile market and trickier to navigate, our 25-years of experience has seen us through many property cycles and difficult times. We have great relationships with reputable, quality construction partners and are confident in where things are heading.

“In fact, we’re actively searching for more sites and signing new deals for projects across Melbourne and Queensland."

Kokoda Property is currently in the midst of transforming Dandenong Road with its mixed-use precinct, Malvern Collective, which is currently 70 per cent sold with construction underway and due for completion in the first quarter of 2024.

Malvern Collective will feature two Jackson Clements Burrows-designed multi-residential towers with unparalleled views of Port Phillip Bay, the Dandenong Ranges and Melbourne’s CBD.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=12457 project_image_fid=200190]

The development comprises over 200 apartments designed by Carr, including a grand 463 sqm private New York-style penthouse with an exclusive lobby, dedicated lift and private rooftop and infinity pool, as well as a range of generous sub-penthouses that emulate the penthouse’s design inspiration, fixtures and finishes to create a six-star living experience across the board.

Malvern Collective’s ground level will be home to a brand new retail, dining and lifestyle precinct which includes the last Woolworths Metro to be built in Melbourne, as well as the Techne-designed, renovated Angel hotel, an iconic Melbourne pub with a rich legacy and history dating back to 1856.

The new precinct will connect with Glenferrie Road via new laneways with direct access to Malvern train station, providing residents and the local community a ‘0-minute development’, providing a lifestyle akin to living in the city, where everyday essentials and amenities are on the doorstep.

Kokoda is also pushing on with a growing pipeline in Brisbane. They recently completed their $165 million Milton project, The Ambrose, a 19-storey tower with 174 apartments and two retail spaces designed by Cottee Parker. That's 95 per cent sold.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6313 project_image_fid=208659]

Kokoda Property acquired its <a href="/news/qld/kokoda-secure-prime-milton-site-for-cottee-parker-designed-apartment-tower">second Milton site on Crombie Street earlier this year</a> for $11 million, with plans to build a 22-storey, 160 apartment multi residential tower featuring a rooftop pool, private dining, health and wellness space and gym.

The Crombie Street project will have a total value of circa $160 million and will soon launch its expressions of interest campaign.

Earlier this month Kokoda spent $100 million on the <a href="/news/qld/kokoda-snare-last-remaining-riverfront-in-teneriffe-for-mixed-use-development">last remaining riverfront site in Teneriffe</a>, with plans to build another $1.75 billion mixed-use precinct across the huge 17,600 sqm Skyring Terrace block.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=12457]

With no signs of slowing down, Kokoda Property is currently in the midst of transforming Dandenong Road with its high end, mixed-use precinct, Malvern Collective, which is currently 70 per cent sold with construction underway and due for completion in the first quarter of 2024.

Malvern Collective the latest in the pipeline for Kokoda Property 

Bhart Bhushan’s Bathla Group are set to add Queensland to their ever evolving pipeline, with the group lodging plans for a $32.4 million Moreton Bay development.

The prominent Sydney developers are set to make waves in Deception Bay, with plans for two residential buildings that will deliver 101 apartments upon completion at 7 Captain Cook Parade.

Bathla bought the 2,908 sqm site for $1.865 million, from Chinese investor&nbsp;Wenxing Ma, who has previously lodged ambitious plans for a 94-level Broadbeach tower.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of the Captain Cook Parade development" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3f493ad7-d193-4e0d-a52e-5099c41d27da" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-08%20at%203.34.30%20pm.png?VersionId=Dw7OBFe3QERgSXVRseeeHXyuWCHkSCcO" />Render of the Captain Cook Parade development.

Situated across an amalgamated lot along Captain Cook Parade and Wallin Avenue, Bathla will construct Building A, which will comprise just three three-bedroom apartments, as well as Building B, which will offer a mix of apartment types.&nbsp;

There'll be six one-bedroom apartments in Building B, along with 50 two-bed units, 40 three-bedders, eight four-bed apartments, and just one five-bedroom unit.

The group engaged architecture firm Jackson Teece to design the two buildings, which heavily feature aluminium windows and timber cladding.

Each building will be crowned with a rooftop terrace, with four separate spaces set to don the rooftops, providing a range of open, breakout spaces for residents.&nbsp;

Both buildings will benefit from their own lift access, as well as basement car parking which will accomodate 110 vehicles and 81 bicycles.&nbsp;

The site will put residents within walking distance to the water and local boat ramp, as well as a number of parks and open green space, including Bancroft Park and Wallin Family Park.&nbsp;

Melbourne developer Samuel Property arguably has one of the best spots in Melbourne for its latest apartment tower, Louise.

Louise sits in a prime location on Louise Street, set quietly behind the tree-lined St Kilda Road which offers residents a simple commute into the city, while providing a picturesque outlook across Albert Park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112174 project_image_fid=199648]

Embracing the heritage character of its neighbours, Louise's distinctive red brick façade and curved forms engage the streetscape, softened by lush canopies and greenery.

From places to run or walk, like The Tan, Albert Park Lake and St Kilda Beach, residents are spoilt for choice when venturing outside the 16-level building which has just ticked over 55 per cent sold.

On the doorstep of Louise, Albert Park Lake has been hosting the iconic Australian Grand Prix for well over two decades, creating a festival atmosphere in the neighbourhood during the Grand Prix weekend.

Along with the Australian Grand Prix, which is set to remain in its Albert Park location until 2035, Louise is in prime position for all the action the racing event brings to the area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112174 project_image_fid=199593]

Further sport isn't much further, with Melbourne’s best sporting precinct, the home of the Australian Open and the countries largest stadium, The MCG, just a short trip via public transport.

For the explorer, The National Gallery of Victoria is just a 12-minute tram ride away, while The&nbsp;<a href="/developments/docklands-vic-3008">Docklands</a>&nbsp;area and the Royal Botanical Gardens are both under a 15 minute drive.&nbsp;

Moments from Louise, the leafy St Kilda Road offers tram routes to the city, which is under five kilometres away, stopping at many arts and cultural destinations along the way.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112174 project_image_fid=199594]

Explore the nightlife and discover a multitude of laneway bars and entertainment, then satisfy your peckish cravings with late-night dumplings, tacos or tapas.

While residents will be spoilt for choice, they’ll never really have to choose, with all that Louise and its prime location offer.

The St Kilda project will deliver a mix of one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments upon completion, with the renowned Cera Stribley handling the architecture and design.

Welcome to the 3004: What's around Melbourne's Louise apartments

Renewal SA has recently announced its plans to purchase the former Adelaide Bus Station site on Franklin Street, which will be developed into a mixed-use site called Tapangka.

Tapangka, which is a Kaurna word that translates to journey, will aim to provide a new approach to city living, inspired by the journey of reconciliation, home ownership, sustainability, and collaboration between the city and the state.

The Adelaide City Council chose Renewal SA as the successful proponent of the 6,850 sqm site, with the group aiming to position the project as one of the most vibrant and inclusive residential developments and precincts in the state.

The project is set to deliver an unprecedented level of affordable housing in Adelaide's CBD, including a blend of long- and short-term housing options, contemporary commercial, civic, and retail spaces.

<img alt="Aerial image of the proposed Franklin Street site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ef320522-b33a-49f5-b751-cc6e7074ef5c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-05%20at%2011.55.28%20am_0.png?VersionId=dExzJD.ilJsUcOitH5SUzlpYYsGMmUkT" />Aerial image of the proposed Franklin Street site.

Renewal SA’s Manager of Reconciliation and Cultural Heritage, Kiran Dixon said Tapangka sits on the land of the Tarndanyungga, the place of the red kangaroo dreaming.&nbsp;

“This link to heritage will be celebrated in every aspect of Tapangka's development, from it’s planning and design, to it’s ongoing cultural life,” Dixon said.

Woods Bagot were engaged to design the precinct, which will consist of two mixed-use towers with around 392 apartments, accommodating more than 1,000 residents. At least 137 of the apartments (35%) will be affordable, including 51 affordable sale apartments and 86 affordable rental apartments.

With the Tapangka precinct the first CBD location to feature the emerging build-to-rent apartment model, the development will also include a 208-key hotel.

In addition to the apartments and hotel, the precinct will feature a central civic building that will be a place of entertainment, culture, and community. The building will showcase the best of sustainable construction and target carbon neutrality precinct-wide.

Woods Bagot’s Alex Hall said Adelaide is ready for a bold new approach to city living.

“The main attraction of Tapangka will be a signature carbon-neutral civic building. This building will be a place of entertainment, culture and community, and will nourish surrounding business,” Hall said.&nbsp;

Tree-lined laneways or "eat streets" will spill out onto the footpaths between Franklin and Grote streets, offering a combination of casual eateries and sit-down restaurant options both day and night. These streets will be surrounded by a backdrop of living green walls that will provide shade and cooling and mitigate the impacts of the heat-island effect.

Renewal SA Chief Executive, Chris Menz said the site represents a significant economic opportunity for Adelaide and a chance to set a new benchmark for inner-city living.

“We have a target to deliver Adelaide’s first carbon neutral precinct, that will be focussed on connection, lifestyle, culture and growth for our city,” he said

“Tapangka will feature a diverse mix of long and short-term housing options. The precinct will also be a new place to do business, featuring a range of flexible commercial spaces, and crucially it will extend and compliment the Adelaide’s central market experience, and increase visitation to the city.”

The development will also feature extensive public art throughout Tapangka, celebrating the Kaurna culture, and a public open space owned by the City of Adelaide along Grote and Bowen streets will undergo a $1.2 million upgrade by the state as part of the development.

The multi-million-dollar development will become a significant jobs driver for South Australia, with more than 1,300 jobs expected to be generated during the construction period alone. The project will also contribute more than $161 million of Gross Value Add to the state.

Renewal SA has a proven track record of shaping cities and precincts, including urban infill redevelopment at Bowden and the adaptive reuse of the former Mitsubishi car plant in Adelaide's south to create Tonsley Innovation District.

Construction of the Tapangka precinct will be staged and is expected to commence in early 2026 with opportunities for designers, developers and builders to participate in the project. Project completion is anticipated by 2029.

Former Adelaide Bus Station earmarked for major mixed-use redevelopment 

Luxury developments and Rothelowman go hand in hand.&nbsp;

The award-winning architecture firm were engaged by DM Property to design their Sandringham development, Early 3191, which features 35 three and four-bedroom townhouses.

Rothelowman Principal Stuart Marsland said the brief Rothelowman were given for Early 3191 was to create a series of townhomes that would elevate the standard of suburban living in Sandringham.

"The brief was to bring townhome living to a new level in Sandringham and deliver a series of homes through a calm landscape driven concept with a generosity for spacious living," Marsland said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138081 project_image_fid=209564]

"The design vision was centred around simplicity, community space, rebuilding the street, amplifying landscape and ensuring the future of suburban living."

Rothelowman drew inspiration from the surrounding coastal areas and neighbouring heathlands, which are reflected in the unified and simple palette of materials and colours used throughout the development.

"The site’s context was extremely important to the design of Early 3191," Marsland added.

"Sandringham has a laid- back luxury feel, overlaid with pockets of deep vegetation. This provided the inspiration for the palette and vibe of the townhouses. Examples of how this are the position of the front gardens and how they open onto the street, and the continuous public landscape."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138081 project_image_fid=209568]

The townhouses were designed to fit seamlessly into the Sandringham context, with the unique deep nature reserves and generous front gardens transforming the atmosphere in George Street.

Marsland said it is&nbsp;important to the architecture firm that each Rothelowman design attributes significance to the physical and social fabric that surrounds every project.

"Early 3191 is a premier example of this."

Sustainability was a significant consideration in the design process, with features such as solar orientation, solar panels, rainwater tanks, and bicycle storage racks incorporated into the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138081 project_image_fid=209565]

Rothelowman Senior Associate, Kylie Caruana, said that as custodians of&nbsp;our neighbourhoods, our cities and of future generations, Rothelowman understands the importance of making sustainable design decisions.

"No matter the brief, the design solutions that our teams create must incorporate authentic strategies to minimise imbedded energy - in materiality, orientation and functional layouts - and energy use throughout the life of the building," Caruana said.

When it came to the interior design of Early 3191, Rothelowman worked collaboratively with Adele Bates to refine the interior design concept and bring the project to life.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138081 project_image_fid=209567]

"As interior designers ourselves, we understand the importance of the connection between architecture and interior design. The attitude to our approach remains the same when collaborating with other interior practices," Caruana said.&nbsp;

"For this particular project, Rothelowman provided innovations in town home layouts and the overall design approach for Early 3191. From there, we worked collaboratively with Adele Bates to refine the interior design concept to bring the project to life."

Spring Square by Poly is set to become a game-changer in the world of community living. The first of its kind in Sydney's southwest, this sprawling masterplan promises to redefine the way people think about their living spaces.

Drawing inspiration from Bankstown's rich history, Spring Square aims to deliver an enriched urban neighbourhood experience that extends far beyond the four walls of an apartment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7054 project_image_fid=47633]

The community will be spread across five towers, each boasting a range of modern and varied living options, including one, two and three-bedroom floorplans.&nbsp;

But it's the range of retail and commercial amenities that will truly set Spring Square apart. From childcare facilities to a state-of-the-art gym and a range of healthcare services, residents will be able to access everything they need right on their doorstep.

Spring Square will also be dotted with communal spaces, offering places to meet, eat, and unwind. Interconnecting walkways will allow residents to explore the precinct at their leisure, while green parks will provide a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7054 project_image_fid=47636]

The gardens at Spring Square are the highlight, offering a diverse playground for residents of all ages. From lush lawns to native trees, outdoor barbecue and kitchen spaces to al fresco-style leisure areas, this is a space designed to bring people together, with a range of seating nooks scattered throughout the gardens.

But it's not just about the green spaces. Spring Square will also be home to a range of small cafes, bars, and outdoor al fresco dining options. These will spill out onto the podium and ground level, creating a vibrant social hub inspired by the multitude of cultures that call Bankstown home.

Poly Global delivers an urban oasis in the heart of Bankstown

The Hills District is alive with activity.

Since it was announced 5,000 apartments were to be built in the Hills Showground Precinct, Castle Hill and its surrounding areas have gone from strength to strength.

There's been regeneration throughout the district, while the first phase of the redevelopment which opened in 2019 included New South Wales’ first direct pedestrian link to the Castle Hill Metro Station and bus interchange, as well as new communal spaces and a bustling new food court and vibrant marketplace.

Now Castle Towers, one of the largest shopping centres in the country, is to undergo redevelopment.

QIC, founded in 1991 to serve the long-term investment responsibilities of the Queensland government, has unveiled the next phase of the shopping and dining precinct.

Dubbed The Village, plans are before council for a&nbsp;200-key hotel, a 12-story commercial building, a retail component across three levels, a live entertainment venue, a rooftop garden, and a range of other public spaces.

The Woods Bagot-designed hotel will be one of the significant elements of The Village, featuring premium event facilities and several upscale hospitality venues.&nbsp;

QIC has revealed that they will invest a total of $568 million in the masterplan for The Village, which will be the next phase of its Castle Towers Shopping Centre precinct, designed by BVN.

According to QIC, the first 12-story commercial building, at 2 Castle Street, will be of A-grade quality and the first of its type to be built in the area.

The Village is one of the many new developments happening around the area that will benefit the boom in residential development that is occurring as more buyers take to the outskirts of the city.&nbsp;

Kassis Homes' Grand Reve will be one to benefit from the new mixed-use development, located just down the road at&nbsp;8 and 18 Garthowen Crescent. As will Deicorp's Hills Showground Village and KWG's Castle Island, which are both just a five minutes drive from the proposed precinct.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=133881 project_image_fid=209816]

But it's not just those within the immediate area that will be able to take advantage of the world-class precinct, especially with the Metro Train line servicing a number of nearby suburbs.&nbsp;

The first stage of Norwest Quarter will become part of a vibrant and connected masterplanned neighbourhood just five minutes on the Metro from Castle Towers, with developing giants Mulpha at the helm.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Over 70 per cent of the precinct is green, open space, with a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments planned across the first two towers, Banksia and Lacebark.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=103264 project_image_fid=196019]

The zero-carbon development will transform over 3.8 hectares of greenfield land into a vibrant town centre for over 2,000 residents once complete, with prices starting at&nbsp;$620,000 for a one-bedroom apartment.&nbsp;

Two-bedroom apartments are priced from&nbsp;$860,000 while the three-bedders begin at&nbsp;$1.46 million.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Developers Deicorp have been prominent in the north-west corridor, with the group also developing in Tallawong, just next to Rouse Hill. Tallawong Village is situated on the steps of the Metro line, which will take residents to Castle Towers within 15 minutes.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106821 project_image_fid=169991]

Tallawong Village is the group's largest north-west development, set to feature 333 apartments when completed later this year.&nbsp;

Delivering a collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, the varying floorplans will target the owner-occupier market along with investors with a keen eye for the developing market.&nbsp;

The group continued a strong relationship with architects, Turner Studio, who have designed many of the apartments to feature additional study spaces.&nbsp;

The village will also benefit from the planned future Tallawong Town Centre, which will deliver up to 30,000 sqm of retail floorspace, while the bustling Rouse Hill Town Centre is just one stop away on the Metro.&nbsp;

There's been regeneration throughout the district, as well as the new Metro line serving a more direct route to the city.

Why buyers should be looking at Sydney's north west growth corridor 

Sydney's luxury real estate market is leading the charge in the city's latest housing boom.

After more than a year of stagnant prices, the national housing market has recorded a month-on-month increase, largely driven by a 1.4 per cent surge in Sydney.

Prominent Sydney developer Aqualand has benefitted from the change in both sentiment and prices over 2023, securing over $150 million in sales from&nbsp;BLUE at Lavender Bay, The REVY in Pyrmont, and AURA by Aqualand in North Sydney.

North Sydney, in particular, has seen strong activity, according to Ray White Chief Economist Nerida Conisbee.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=202657]

“The depth of the buyer pool for the top-end of the market is a stand-out, while North Sydney and the broader north shore continues to outperform,” Conisbee said.

“We’re now consistently seeing house price growth across Sydney, led by the top quartile of the market.”

Aqualand’s $1 billion AURA by Aqualand project did most of the heavy lifting across the portfolio, securing over $100 million since the turn of the year, a sign of the city’s unwavering demand for high-end apartments.

Alex Adams, Aqualand's Head of Sales and Marketing, said the&nbsp;strong sales at AURA reflect the unique offering the group has created, which they believe is a positive sign for the broader luxury apartment market in Sydney.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=202656]

"We’ve experienced month-on-month growth since November 2022 with a spike in sales every month this year,” Adams said.

“We’ve seen a breadth of sales across all apartment types at AURA buoyed by major public domain improvements, transport development and the robust growth potential of North Sydney more broadly.”

A buyer recently purchased two adjoining four-bedroom sub penthouses for $12 million.

Other notable prime sales at AURA include two four-bedroom apartments, which sold for $7,115,000 and $7,250,000, as well as a three-bedroom apartment for just under $5 million.&nbsp;

“The majority of sales have been from buyers from the lower and upper north shore with buyer activity led by owner-occupiers and downsizers," Adams added.

“AURA’s performance is a key indicator of this robust market, setting the stage for an exceptional year in luxury residential sales.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7559 project_image_fid=212083]

Meanwhile, The REVY in Pyrmont has exceeded $20 million in sales over the last three months and over $35 million has been achieved at BLUE at Lavender Bay, with both projects expected to be selling out soon.

House price growth is expected to continue thanks to fewer building approvals, returning overseas migration and chronic rental shortages, with Sydney unit rents up 18.1 per cent year-on-year. Sydney’s prime price performance trended above the average global annual growth, as reported in the Knight Frank Prime Global Cities Index.

“For those able to transact in this market, there are strong indicators for further growth in Sydney house prices over the medium- to long-term,” Conisbee said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7559 project_image_fid=212083]

“Sydney’s prices have jumped 4.1 per cent since December. There’s a dire shortage of stock, while persistent rental shortages will only add further pressure.”

The upward trend will continue to create demand for well-located, high-quality apartments, according to Adams.

“The opportunity to invest in a project which has construction nearing its peak, such as AURA, is extremely attractive to buyers," he said.

“Our buyers also understand what a unique offering AURA is. It really is incomparable to any other projects on the north shore.

“Our hospitality and services business, Etymon Projects, has collaborated with designers to craft an artfully curated selection of venues in AURA’s podium levels, including a providore, bakery, café and wine bar, an all-day diner and a contemporary Japanese restaurant.

“This will serve to enhance and enrich the lives of residents living above a vibrant and refined culinary scene, while also creating a new neighbourhood destination that will be a beacon for visitors and residents in the broader metropolitan area.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=202993]

“Residents will also have access to a 5-star luxury hotel-style concierge to cater to their everyday lifestyle and special occasion needs. This service goes well beyond what’s normally available in apartment buildings and has been extremely well received in our BLUE at Lavender Bay project.

“It also appears that AURA is set to be the last North Sydney project to benefit from substantial parking for residents as North Sydney Council plans to enforce parking ratios on future projects."

In addition to the onsite parking, residents will have convenient access to the future Victoria Cross Station next door or use the exclusive pool of Tesla electric vehicles we’re providing.

The proposal seeks approval for 172 apartments across three buildings, including 15 per cent affordable housing managed by a community housing provider for at least 15 years from occupation.

&nbsp;

The redevelopment is planned for the prominent 3,413 sqm site bounded by Marlborough Street, Goodlet Street and Lansdowne Street, directly opposite Eddie Ward Park and around 200 metres from the Surry Hills light rail stop.

Time &amp; Place acquired the former David Jones building in 2024, marking the first time the property had changed hands in around 50 years.

Designed by Wardle, the proposal centres around the adaptive reuse of the former David Jones factory, originally constructed between 1913 and 1935 in the Inter-War Chicagoesque architectural style.

Wardle noted in its Architectural Design Report that the building “occupies a significant place in the industrial and cultural history of Surry Hills” and at its peak was “the largest department store manufacturing facility in Australia, employing over 800 people and fuelling the growth of Sydney’s fashion and retail industries.”

The practice said the project positions itself “not as an isolated intervention, but as a contributor to the civic, social, and architectural grain of the precinct.”

The proposal would deliver 75 apartments within the retained southern heritage building, 59 apartments within the central addition, and a further 38 apartments within the new northern building fronting Lansdowne Street.

Planning documents show the scheme would comprise a mix of heritage apartments, new-build apartments, townhouses and penthouses.

<img alt="Marlborough" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="57758518-40a3-4b83-958c-d06e96a2cffa" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%209.29.42%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VerlX9ST5xgBi8.1_YRsqdWTJeT6ygjs" />Interior View of the Heritage Building Apartment

The development would also include a ground-floor retail tenancy on the corner of Marlborough and Lansdowne streets, rooftop communal open space, a landscaped pedestrian link along the western edge of the site, and basement parking accessed from Lansdowne Street via a car stacker system.

&nbsp;

The scheme emerged from a competitive design process run by Urbis, with Wardle ultimately selected as the winning architect ahead of FJC Studio, TZG, Architectus and Wilkinson Eyre.

The Design Integrity Panel later described several aspects of the Wardle scheme as fundamental to the project, including “the stepped character of the new addition to the north of the site”, the landscaped western pedestrian link, and the “garden arrival” experience separating the original Marlborough House from the heritage addition.

Wardle’s design heavily references the site’s industrial and heritage history, while also responding to the surrounding Surry Hills streetscape.

The Architectural Design Report describes Surry Hills as “a finely grained neighbourhood with beautiful and expressive brickworks throughout the suburb,” with the proposal introducing a material palette intended to sit comfortably alongside the existing warehouse fabric and neighbouring terraces.

The report also outlines the project’s relationship with Eddie Ward Park and the broader landscape context of the area.

“Marlborough House occupies a site of deep cultural memory and the neighbouring Eddie Ward Park is of local ecological significance, where natural systems, topography, and stories have long shaped human experience,” Wardle noted in the report.

The architects said the proposal sought to “rebind built form to Country” through landscape, materiality and the adaptive reuse of the heritage structure.

The project is also being progressed under the NSW Government’s in-fill affordable housing provisions, allowing developments that include affordable housing to access additional height and floor space incentives.

Under the plans, 2,593 sqm of the project’s floor space would be dedicated to affordable housing, slightly exceeding the required 15 per cent threshold.

In its Design Excellence Strategy, Urbis said the project aimed to “sensitively adapt and enhance the heritage-listed building on site through alterations and additions that preserve its historical significance” while delivering “high-quality market and infill affordable housing development in Surry Hills.”

Time &amp; Place has been one of the most active developers nationally in the last 12 to 24 months. Late last year they completed&nbsp;The Queensbridge in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/southbank-vic-3006">Southbank</a>, a mixed-use tower with 353 apartments and a hotel.

The developer broke into Sydney just a few years ago with Two Tides in Manly. They have another project nearby, which is at the ultra-luxury end of the market on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/shoreline-manly-beach-89-90-north-steyne-manly">North Steyne</a>, fronting the beach.

First look: Time & Place unveils Marlborough House redevelopment designs for former David Jones warehouse in Surry Hills

The residential transformation of St Kilda Road is set to continue into with more new apartment plans for the sought-after boulevard.

Wing Tai Asia has lodged plans for a major residential tower at 464-466 St Kilda Road, replacing the former VACC House with an 18-storey mixed-use development designed around a retained heritage podium and a sculpted contemporary tower.

The proposal, prepared under Victoria’s Significant Residential Development with Affordable Housing pathway, would deliver 325 apartments and ground-floor retail across the prominent 4,653 sqm boulevard site in Melbourne’s St Kilda Road North Precinct.

The project centres on the adaptive reuse of the site’s heritage-listed VACC Building, an eight-storey office designed by Bernard Evans that has occupied the address for decades. Planning documents state the development would involve “carefully dismantling and conserving off-site the original metal fabric of the podium visible from St Kilda Road,” before reinstating it as the defining frontage of the new scheme.

Above the restored podium, Wing Tai is proposing a curvilinear residential tower. The scheme includes 172 one-bedroom apartments, 63 two-bedroom apartments, 66 three-bedroom apartments, and 24 four-bedroom apartments, alongside two ground-floor food and beverage tenancies fronting St Kilda Road.

The tower has been designed with substantial articulation and variable setbacks to minimise perceived bulk and maintain view corridors along the boulevard. Urbis, which prepared the planning report, said the design “has been significantly articulated through a curvilinear design” with “an interplay with materials, façade expression and depth” to create visual separation and visual interest.

The proposal also includes 254 basement car spaces, landscaped pedestrian links connecting St Kilda Road and Queens Lane, and a biophilic landscape strategy featuring canopy trees, raised planters, cascading greenery and a glass oculus pool overlooking the eastern frontage.

Planning documents confirm the $270.1 million development will contribute 3 per cent of project costs to the Social Housing Growth Fund as part of the application process.

Wing Tai acquired the St Kilda Road property in 2018 alongside Abacus Property Group for $95.38 million, before later consolidating ownership of the site. The property previously served as the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce headquarters for around 60 years.

The transformation of the St Kilda Rd boulevard is already beginning to materialise, with a number of high-profile projects recently completed, launched, or approaching launch as developers continue to back the long-term appeal of the precinct.

Among the most notable recent completions is Louise by Samuel Property Group, just off the strip on Queens Lane, the same pocket Hirsch &amp; Faigen recently launched The Queensbury. Mirvac is too on the same street with The Albertine, which is approaching completion.

Dexus recently secured approval for its slice of St Kilda Road, while Gurner also has approved plans for the precinct.

Malaysian developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> is the latest to jump into St Leonards booming Transport Oriented Development precinct.

The developer, which has previously delivered Sapphire by the Gardens apartment development in Melbourne, identified the Atchison Street site in 2023. It filed a Scoping Report around 12 months ago, and now has revealed the designs for the new&nbsp;40-storey mixed-use tower.

The State Significant Development Application covers <a href="https://next-portal.urban.com.au/projects/14650/summary">20-22 Atchison Street</a>, a 1,374 sqm site positioned between St Leonards Station and the new Crows Nest Metro station.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the project would deliver 181 apartments, above a four-storey commercial podium, five basement levels, and new public domain works along Mitchell Street. The apartment mix comprises 35 one-bedroom apartments, 39 one-bedroom-plus-study apartments, 85 two-bedroom apartments, and 22 three-bedroom residences.

The proposal has been lodged as a shop-top housing development under the NSW Government’s TOD planning pathway, which allows increased density around key transport infrastructure. The site sits within the recently rezoned Crows Nest Accelerated TOD Precinct.

<img alt="First look: SP Setia targets St Leonards skyline with 40-storey TOD tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b799673d-48e2-46b0-801a-0e33a9330100" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/atchinson%20site.png?VersionId=dPh0UfwfaHpbFL1R7H1cbZNbIW0CHbCC" />

SP Setia acquired the Atchison Street site as part of its continued expansion into the Australian apartment market. In comments made to City &amp; Country (The Edge Malaysia) in 2023, SP Setia President and CEO Datuk Choong Kai Wai described the acquisition as “a strategic move” aligned with the group’s post-pandemic market recovery strategy.

“Our target for this exceptional development is local and overseas buyers, including first-home buyers, downsizers and investors,” Choong said.

The tower has been designed as a slender vertical form rising from a mixed-use podium, with COX Architecture positioning the development as a response to the evolving St Leonards and Crows Nest skyline.

“The purpose of the project is to facilitate the delivery of high-quality housing at a strategically located site and deliver a built tower outcome that is consistent with the desired future character of St Leonards and aligns with the TOD controls,” the design report stated.

<img alt="First look: SP Setia targets St Leonards skyline with 40-storey TOD tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b1a85eee-76f7-436c-a6da-73ba827b9b13" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/atchinson%20entry.png?VersionId=dA9jHGPMcm.dDbwk4QfxqWiY5bfh3UVt" />

The podium would incorporate retail uses fronting Atchison Street, commercial tenancies, landscaped communal areas, and pedestrian improvements along Mitchell Street. Vehicle access and loading would be consolidated via Atchison Lane.

Residents would have access to more than 665 sqm of communal indoor and outdoor spaces, while the development proposes 96 parking spaces across five basement levels.

The proposal also includes a commitment for 10 per cent of residential floor space to be allocated toward affordable housing through a monetary contribution.

COX said the tower form responds directly to the emerging high-density character of the precinct while seeking to maximise solar access, cross ventilation, and outlook from apartments.

“The building is orientated towards north,” the Apartment Design Guide compliance report noted, adding that the tower’s slim form was driven by the constrained inner-urban site dimensions.

The design also incorporates landscaped setbacks and communal open space at podium level, intended to soften the interface with surrounding streets and improve pedestrian amenity.

The project adds to a growing wave of redevelopment proposals reshaping St Leonards and Crows Nest following the opening of the Sydney Metro City line and the NSW Government’s push for higher-density housing around major transport nodes.

Last week Stockland filed plans just down the road. They want to build a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/601-pacific-highway-st-leonards-nsw-2065">52-storey tower on Pacific Highway</a>.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/urban-property-group">Urban Property Group</a> has revealed plans for a new mixed-use tower at 10 Dangar Street, Wickham, advancing a proposal that would reshape the southern gateway to Newcastle’s city centre with one of the city’s tallest residential buildings.

The State Significant Development proposal, now on exhibition, seeks approval for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/bowline-10-dangar-street-wickham-nsw-2293">43-storey tower</a> immediately adjacent to the Newcastle Interchange. The project would deliver around 200 apartments, including 42 affordable housing dwellings, alongside 99 co-living units, a 171-room hotel, retail space, and new public domain integrated through the site.

The scheme marks a significant escalation of plans previously approved for the site. Urban Property Group took over the prominent 2,904 sqm parcel, where excavation and demolition had already commenced under an earlier consent for a 14-storey mixed-use development.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="58a96dd9-407f-4d20-86b4-94e4bfeef74b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20podium.png?VersionId=LGlf08pdFGAZDzvx_CXC4XakHNZRuEE0" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, the tower has been conceived as a landmark transit-oriented development anchored to the Newcastle Interchange precinct. The proposal includes 245 build-to-sell apartments across a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom residences, as well as two penthouses. Fifteen apartments and one operational unit are earmarked for NDIS housing. The co-living component would add a further 99 units, while the podium would accommodate retail uses and hotel facilities.

SJB said the site presents “a valuable opportunity to anchor the precinct by setting the standard for design, active ground planes and character at the key southern gateway.”

The architecture responds directly to the site’s position beside major transport infrastructure and within one of Newcastle’s fastest-evolving urban renewal precincts. The tower form sits above a sculpted podium designed to frame new public spaces, including a through-site pedestrian link connecting Station Street to Hannell Street, landscaped plazas, and activated retail edges.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a7bd6ff0-f7db-4ce8-a6dc-ea56e72c6149" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20lanne.png?VersionId=xzf39VADyhj7zBQY2I9fx9vI62u2tuSb" />

The design report describes the project as part of the broader transition of Wickham into “a vibrant, high-quality mixed-use urban precinct” that leverages proximity to the station, open space, and regional connectivity.

A detailed public art strategy has also been prepared for the development. The strategy positions the project as “a transit-oriented development of state significance at the gateway to Newcastle’s city centre” and outlines a series of integrated artworks responding to Newcastle’s industrial and transport heritage.

Creative Road’s curatorial framework for the project, titled Unveil, draws on “stratified surfaces, carved volumes, and light-filled apertures” while referencing Newcastle’s transformation from an industrial city into a contemporary education and technology hub.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="77a882bb-14b1-4d28-99ff-9438e39508c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20site.png?VersionId=cevgo_vN0eKPK78P8YcEu3mKPLkpFqE7" />

The proposal is being advanced through the NSW Housing Delivery Authority pathway after being declared State Significant Development in June 2025. The accompanying scoping report states the development aims to “maximise the site’s proximity to the Newcastle Interchange by delivering transit-oriented development” while increasing housing supply and affordable housing provision within the Newcastle LGA.

Urban Property Group’s plans align with the long-term strategic vision established under the Wickham Master Plan, which identified the interchange precinct as suitable for substantial uplift in height and density. The current proposal would significantly intensify that vision, positioning the tower among the tallest developments proposed for Newcastle.

The site sits immediately north of the Newcastle Interchange, bounded by Dangar Street, Hannell Street, and Charles Street. It is surrounded by a rapidly growing cluster of residential towers and mixed-use projects that have emerged following the completion of the light rail and transport interchange.

Bottega House has completed settlement of a landmark riverfront site in Macquarie Street, St Lucia, representing its first major Brisbane development.&nbsp;

Positioned on the banks of the Brisbane River, the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/180-macquarie-street-st-lucia-qld-4067">premium site at 180 Macquarie Street</a> features uninterrupted river frontage in one of Brisbane’s most tightly held residential precincts.&nbsp;

The proposed development, currently under assessment with Brisbane City Council, has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-studio">Plus Studio</a> with interiors by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/mim-design">Mim Design</a> and will deliver a boutique collection of premium residences positioned specifically for owner occupiers and downsizers.&nbsp;

The residences are set to redefine luxury apartment living in the area, with a focus on architectural quality, refined finishes, landscape integration and elevated amenities including curated wellness facilities, resort-style pools and recreation spaces rarely seen in the local market.&nbsp;

Exclusive sales for the project will be led by Keenan &amp; Byrne, ahead of an anticipated launch later this year.&nbsp;

Bottega House Managing Director Nick Malloch said the project reflects the group’s ambition to deliver a highly curated residential offering within one of Brisbane’s most tightly held precincts.&nbsp;

“This is an incredibly rare riverfront opportunity and one we have approached with a long-term perspective,” Malloch said.&nbsp;

“Our vision from the outset was to create a boutique collection of residences that feel more like private homes than traditional apartments, with generous proportions, refined finishes and exceptional amenity throughout."

Malloch says there is a&nbsp;lack of premium owner-occupier stock of this quality in the market, particularly for downsizers wanting space, privacy and a true lifestyle offering without compromise.&nbsp;

"Demand is expected to be strong given the scarcity of premium riverfront opportunities of this nature within Brisbane’s inner-west."&nbsp;
