Developer Toohey Miller is continuing to make its mark on the well-heeled Elizabeth Bay market.

Having filed plans for a boutique project of six apartments on Onslow Place, Toohey Miller, led by Nick&nbsp;Couloumbis, has submitted an application for a similar small-density project on the prestigious Barncleuth Square.

He's seeking to create a slightly more modest four-level building with nine apartments designed by SJB.

Couloumbis says&nbsp;it took about 12 months to put the site together. Currently on the 428 sqm block is&nbsp;a mid-1960s building which has over 20 apartments.

"Elizabeth Bay is a very desirable area,"&nbsp;Couloumbis says.

"It's a stones throw from the best restaurants in Sydney. Some people call it the Soho of Sydney."

The proposal is for nine apartments, the majority three bedders spanning 137 sqm internally. The penthouse spreads across the whole of the top level, offering four bedrooms and 284 sqm of space. It also has a private rooftop terrace with a spa.

<img alt="Barnclueth" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="773a251d-7ae7-4659-9639-962ac1e2f3c8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-22%20at%2012.27.15%20pm.png?VersionId=T2XSoTbivDFWh4xaUSCXDbxJt4nArfXk" />

In their Design Statement submitted to the City of Sydney Council, SJB said that Elizabeth Bay is part of the densest urban area in Australia with its own population of around 5,000 people.

"With limited space, many apartment buildings are vying for high levels of amenity," the report noted.

"This proposal offers relief to the density, with only 9 apartments proposed for the site."

The design is in keeping with the Art Deco apartment-style which boomed in the 1930s. A significant number of those buildings developed nearly a century ago are now heritage-listed.

SJB says the facades of the surrounding four to seven-storey apartment buildings&nbsp;are intricately detailed in playful arrays of textures and patterns.

"In this detailing, they carry a rhythm along the street front that continues a horizontal datum, punctuated by moments of vertical emphasis.

"The proposal responds to this with a five storey brick apartment building inspired by the evocative forms of its Art Deco neighbours."

The building will be in good company. To the south is Barnclueth House, heritage-listed duplex houses in the Victorian Italianate-style. North is a brick apartment building in a restrained Art Deco-style, and opposite is the apartment building Marlborough Hall.

"In addition to responding to its natural, urban and historical context, the proposal aims to lie within the scale and formal rhythms defined by the surrounding built context."

The proposal complies with height controls that apply to the site under both City of Sydney LEP and DCP and sits under the 18m heigh limit.

There's been a focus on sustainability within the new project. A green roof will reduce building energy, 100 per cent of apartments are cross-ventilated, and the bricks to be used the create the building will be sourced locally from Australian manufacturers.&nbsp;Compared to more standardised concrete heavy facades, bricks are a far more sustainable option, SJB suggest.

Toohey Miller has had a long history in Elizabeth Bay.&nbsp;<a>Couloumbis' grandfather founded the company back in 1955 when it was an architectural business. They lived on the exclusive St Neots Ave.</a>

SJB said that Elizabeth Bay is part of the densest urban area in Australia with its own population of around 5,000 people.

Palm Beach's dress circle Jefferson Lane is set to receive an injection of more luxury apartments.

The beachfront strip in the south of the Gold Coast has been busy in the last few years, with the likes of Graya, Lacey Group, and Daascon all developing on the exclusive strip.

The latest plans are by the Brisbane-based Green Leaves childcare boss Michael Hovey, who spent $6.35 million on the home on 597 sqm in December. Hovey also owns next door, which was bought for $3.5 million in 2017, making the amalgamated lot 1,194 sqm.

He's proposing just 10 apartments across a 12-level building, which would see it climb 42.9 metres, well above the building height allowance of 29 metres.

<img alt="71 Jefferson Lane" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="dc4855e2-9b30-4850-8f4f-56aa2ee040a8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-19%20at%203.25.13%20pm.png?VersionId=rYWh6MB0QTjPBvh4RcMlW7QaaDc.PdRv" />

Town planner UPS argue however that, because the project is&nbsp;located in an ‘Urban neighbourhood’, the City Plan sets out provisions for an increase in height if development can demonstrate achievement of a number of architectural and contextual principles set out within the strategic framework.

Local architecture firm Plus were engaged to design the project, which they write in their documents filed to the Gold Coast City Council, "offers luxurious and thoughtfully designed living with breathtaking panoramic ocean views."

"The architecture of the building is designed to mimic the sculptural forms of sand shaped by water, with car ved elements providing relief and protection to the apartments, while also grounding the building into to the earth. The apartments are oriented towards the north-eastern aspect, with the sculptural forms peeling away to provide uninterrupted coastal views.

"The building is visually divided into three horizontal sections, the lower levels reflecting the solidity of rocky shores and solid earth, while the typical apartment levels reflect the fluidity and delicacy of sand."

Each apartment spans a whole floor, apart from the split-level penthouse which spreads across levels 11 and 12.

The ground floor apartment has 304 sqm of internal area and a 47 sqm balcony, while the floorplate for apartments across levels one to nine is 347 sqm of internal living space and a 41 sqm balcony.

Each will have four bedrooms, one a master suite with walk in wardrobe and ensuite. There's a multi-purpose room, wine storage, and a butler's pantry in the kitchen.

<img alt="71 Jefferson Lane" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4345c74e-eedd-4c87-97f4-71362957a4a1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-19%20at%203.25.09%20pm.png?VersionId=nnf_dB5mJAVaqqynFdDAi8GMB5U6q9Dy" />

The sprawling penthouse has four bedrooms on the first level, a gym and a library. A spiral staircase leads to the second level where there's the main kitchen living and dining area, a fifth bedroom, a study, a mutli-purpose room, and a wine room. Both levels have balconies.

The upper ground floor will home the resident amenity which will include a&nbsp;swimming pool with spa and wet deck, a gym, steam room and sauna, dining pods, outdoor shower, surf rack storage, and a fire pit area.

"Overall, the twelve storey residence at Palm Beach along Jefferson Lane is a stunning example of luxury architecture and design, offering residents a sense of exclusivity and privacy, as well as stunning coastal views and easy beach access," Plus wrote.

There's been plenty happening on Jefferson Lane in recent years.&nbsp;Homebuilder turned luxury apartment developer Graya <a href="/news/qld/graya-unveil-second-gold-coast-apartment-project">are set to launch Kloud</a>&nbsp;which they are expecting to be approved imminently.

The Lacey Group are currently building The Monroe, after its sell-out by Pezet Matheson. The Lacey Group has previously developed The Jefferson on the strip before.

Aurelia is currently on the market by Samy Saad's Daascon. Prices start from $6.35 million for their whole-floor apartments.

Seven Group media heir Ryan Stokes secured approval for a <a href="/news/qld/seven-boss-ryan-stokes-lodges-plans-for-palm-beach-apartment-development-akuna">boutique project Akuna</a> at 39-41 Jefferson Lane, but no sign of a project launch there.

The busy Kokoda Property Group have officially lodged their application for their recently acquired site in Brisbane's Milton.

Kokoda, led by Mark Stevens, were already engaged with Cottee Parker before they secured the site at 12 Crombie Street, which will home 145 apartments across a 21-level tower dubbed Ruby Ruby.

There will be 54 one-bed units, 77 two-beds, 12 three-beds, and two four-bedroom penthouses on level 20.

The bulk of the resident amenity will be on the top level, barring a couple of meeting rooms and work from home facilities on the ground level and a podium with a private dining and lounge area,&nbsp;cinema room, and a billiards room.

The centrepiece of the rooftop is the full-width swimming pool which will have wide city views. Also on the roof are a number of cabanas, a firepit area, barbecues, another&nbsp;private dining and bar space, and a gym with a yoga area, plunge pool, and infrared sauna.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139032 project_image_fid=231171]

In their design statement submitted to the Brisbane City Council, Cottee Parker said the&nbsp;tower design has been developed with a vernacular and sub-tropical conscious in mind.

"The quality in unit design, recreational&nbsp;facilities, ground floor&nbsp;amenities and fluidity&nbsp;in&nbsp;form will assist&nbsp;in&nbsp;developing&nbsp;a&nbsp;building&nbsp;that&nbsp;further invigorates and populates Brisbane, Milton."

An unusual but key inspiration for Cottee Parker was cotton farming and production, which was led by prominent 1850s Milton business developer, Ambrose Eldrige.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139032 project_image_fid=231170]

"By using fabric and the product of cotton, the architectural vision is to capture the notion&nbsp;of&nbsp;‘Voile’," the report read.

"The organic form of the tower is cloak with perforated herringbone pattern&nbsp;screen. The integration&nbsp;of&nbsp;form and skin of the building create a identity&nbsp;that&nbsp;is&nbsp;unique&nbsp;to&nbsp;Milton with historical reference."

Kokoda have been particularly busy in recent months, having recently spent a record $100 million on the last remaining riverfront development site in Teneriffe.&nbsp;

<a href="/news/qld/kokoda-snare-last-remaining-riverfront-in-teneriffe-for-mixed-use-development">Read more:&nbsp;Kokoda snare last remaining riverfront in Teneriffe for mixed-use development</a>

<a href="/developers/kokoda-property" target="">Kokoda Property</a>&nbsp;Founder and Managing Director Mark Stevens said Brisbane is primed for rapid growth and the Skyring Terrace site will play a pivotal role in the revitalisation of the Newstead and Teneriffe Waterfront Neighbourhood Plan.

“This site has been tightly held for nearly four decades and the potential it offers is unparalleled in terms of creating a major mixed-use waterfront development at a scale that is never to be repeated," Stevens said.

Kokoda also recently signed off on their completed Milton tower, The Ambrose, which is over 95 per cent sold.

Kokoda, led by Mark Stevens, were already engaged with Cottee Parker before they secured the site at 12 Crombie Street, which will home 145 apartments across a 21-level tower

Golden Four Drive in Bilinga has been in the spotlight since the start of 2023, with a number of apartment developments submitted, approved, and launched in the first half of the year.

The latest application is on Golden Four Drive, but in Tugun rather than Bilinga, as the street stretches some 3.5 kilometres from the north of Tugun to the south of Bilinga.

<img alt="Tugun" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c55003d4-2067-451d-9433-5548f9fcff4e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-17%20at%201.54.39%20pm.png?VersionId=T2W9VNbhNrDvshZJH5qYOfHGlyLklpkv" />

Plans with the Gold Coast City Council are for an 11-level tower, which would seek to tap into the 50 per cent uplift provision&nbsp;contained in the City Plan Strategic Framework. It will be targeting the high-end market, with half-floor apartments offering over 220 sqm of internal living space.

There will be 19 three-bedroom units with multi-purpose room. Each bedroom will offer walk in wardrobes and ensuites, and each kitchen will have a walk in pantry. The kitchen, living and dining area is oriented beachside, where they will be an ocean facing balcony.

There will be a single&nbsp;four-bedroom penthouse, which will share the top level with the communal swimming pool, outdoor barbecue kitchen, and indoor lounge and dining space.

The single ground floor apartment has its own private pool.

<img alt="Tugun" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="86cb4df4-9bbb-4927-965d-9915622645fd" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-17%20at%201.55.42%20pm.png?VersionId=hkQATZIs6phd4aCrVcaP2mj8JrRJ5N1X" />

BDA Architecture has handled the designs of the project, writing in their Design Statement that the project offers the opportunity to design an innovative architectural building within the Tugun Beach precinct.&nbsp;

"The proposed residential building provides a coastal character that looks to create a strong architectural landmark along Golden Four Drive and the beachfront," BDA noted.

"The project offers a high quality coastal design that enhances the streetscape adding to the diverse range of building typologies within the area.&nbsp;

<img alt="Tugun" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9b25acfd-cf35-46e3-abaa-00693caeaaee" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-17%20at%201.55.22%20pm.png?VersionId=EZMDT6RGwIoyiDa4oPkLyMEYvSsFqIb1" />

"The detailing and articulation of the built form demonstrates a positive outcome for the streetscape and Tugun area."

The large 1,232 sqm site at 367 Golden Four Drive is located on the prized beachfront. Currently on the site is a three-storey walk-up block. It's just across the road from a number of parks including Tugun Park, Golden Four Park and Honeymoon Tree Park.&nbsp;

Town planner Zone says the project "offers an excellent design outcome in response to the site context and neighbourhood character."

"[The] proposed development is considered appropriate for the location providing a contemporary and functional design outcome that will complement and enhance the existing, approved and emerging urban forms in the locality, without unduly impacting the amenity currently enjoyed by the surrounding properties," Zone's Town Planning Report read.

"Importantly, the proposed development will provide much needed accommodation in proximity to key infrastructure such as Gold Coast Airport and contribute to the further delivery of infill housing stock within the city."

The development has been submitted by Golden 4 Pty Ltd, an entity linked to Brisbane businessman Stephen Lambourne.

Further down Golden Four Drive toward Bilinga, Brent Thompson's Siera Property Group are preparing a unique project which has development approval for 11 levels. It will comprise 19 three and four-bedroom apartments.

Thompson secured the site late last year, saying that the site’s beachfront location, existing DA approval and advanced construction negotiations added significant value and made it a strategic addition to the group’s growing Gold Coast portfolio.&nbsp;

“The existing development approval is 50 per cent higher than other existing approvals in the area, enabling the penthouses and apartments on the upper levels to access sweeping ocean views, north to the Broadbeach-Surfers Paradise skyline and out to the hinterland mountains,’’ Thompson said.&nbsp;

High-rise king Harry Triguboff’s confidence in Surfers Paradise has surged to a new peak.

The Meriton founder is spending $67.5 million on a beachfront tower site a stroll from the tourism capital’s heart, in the middle of his two most recent towers, Iconica and Ocean.

The Esplanade land, with two other street frontages, currently homes the 52-year-old high-rise, The Shore, as well as The Dolphins boutique apartment block and a number of high-street retail spaces. The amalgamation of the 56 apartments of The Shore took over two years.

The deal has taken the veteran developer’s spending on Surfers Paradise sites over the past year to more than $176 million.

Triguboff has said is putting his Gold Coast wallet away for the time being and had no plans for more buys.

Triguboff, 90, said the latest purchase was not just a sign of confidence in Surfers Paradise, but also a reflection on how much easier it was to do business on the Gold Coast than in Sydney.

“In Sydney you talk to the city’s town planners and get a ‘take it or leave’ attitude," Triguboff said.

“That’s not the case on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane, where the planners and councils are fair and, if a rule clearly is wrong, they’ll change it.

“In other words, life’s a lot easier for me in Queensland.”

Triguboff, a $23 billion man, said he planned both retail and rental projects on his new Surfers buy and might include serviced apartments in the mix.

He last week spent $130 million on what he termed ‘the best site in Brisbane’, The Gardens apartments holding overlooking the Botanic Gardens.

His new north-east facing Surfers site spans 3534 sqm and is north of Ocean, a 76-floor building Meriton completed on The Esplanade last year after earlier bowling another old high-rise, one which started life as the Apollo.

Last year Triguboff bought land at the northern end of The Esplanade for $75 million and has the twin towers Iconica underway.

Earlier this year he settled the $34.352 million purchase of the bulk of the whole city block that is known as the Vomitron site and is <a href="/news/qld/first-look-exclusive-meriton-propose-three-tower-surfers-paradise-apartment-development-cypress">earmarked for three towers, one of them the city’s tallest</a>.

Lendlease has unveiled plans for its new mixed-use development that is set to revitalise Melbourne’s landmark intersection at Flinders and Swanston streets in the CBD, following endorsement of its development plans.

Town Hall Place will be located at 25 Swanston Street, adjacent to Melbourne’s famed Young and Jackson Hotel, and above the new underground Metro Tunnel Town Hall Station.

The development will feature a modern A-grade, 10-storey commercial building with around 16,000 sqm of floor space with new laneways, arcades and retail at ground level.

Designed by Hassell Architects, Town Hall Place will respond to the rich heritage of its location with new connections made between Flinders Street and Flinders Lane.

Scott and Cocker Alleys will be reactivated, with a new contemporary arcade created with approximately 2,000 sqm of retail and dining.

<img alt="Town Hall Place" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1fc67fac-e3e3-4dae-b32e-f5374ebc8079" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-16%20at%207.46.11%20am.png?VersionId=EuHx8750CDpnws3ydCU8bDBjU_ZE9cFj" />

Accommodating up to 1,600 workers, the building will inspire collaborative working with views spanning Melbourne’s landmark sites including Federation Square, St Paul’s Cathedral, Flinders Street Station, the Arts Centre and the MCG, as well as generous outdoor terraces across multiple floors.

The office building will be all electric and powered 100 per cent by renewable energy for base building operations, providing a pathway for tenants to a carbon neutral workplace.

Further demonstrating leadership in sustainable design, the building is targeting a 6 Star Green Star Design &amp; As Built v1.3 rating and pursuing a WELL Gold Core rating. The revitalised precinct will connect seamlessly to the Metro Tunnel’s Town Hall Station below street level.

Lendlease will act as developer and builder for the development. Construction is expected to commence in 2024.

Tom Mackellar, Lendlease's Managing Director of Development, says&nbsp;Town Hall Place is a rare opportunity to reinvigorate an iconic part of Melbourne’s CBD with new laneways and arcades, retail and dining and a next generation workplace that will contribute to the vibrant culture of this renowned area.

“The transformation of this site will showcase how smart over-station development can unlock the potential of our cities by linking key transport interchanges with exceptional retail, workplace, and lifestyle experiences.”

While it's all about Broadbeach in 2023, the pipeline of apartment developments in with council likely means 2024 won't be too much different.

The latest plans are for a 24-level, mixed-use hotel and residential tower, with 36 hotel suites and just six high-end apartments at 23 Margaret Avenue, on the corner of Margaret Avenue and the busy Surf Parade.

Surf Parade has been a hotbed for developers in recent years. Polycell are currently selling The Rochester, Mosaic Property have Marella, Gallery Group have Chalk and North, and Polites has an unnamed project at 152 Surf Parade. The new project will sit right next door to Bassar's Infinity tower.

The application has been submitted by&nbsp;The Legacy M Pty Ltd, which is directed by Brisbane-based&nbsp;Brian McDonald and Phillipines-based Manuel Hao Osmena, who is the chairman of the Manny O Group which has interests in tourism,&nbsp;airline catering, airport services and wine.

Tonic Design has put together the plans for the project, which includes two ground level retail tenancies and separate lobbies for the hotel and the apartment residents. Both will have a concierge.

Level two will be a hotel lounge and buffet area, reception, waiting area, a gym, and an infinity pool. A function room for the hotel is located on level three.

Heading up the tower are 70 sqm one-bedroom suites, a max of three on each level.

From level 16 there are 217 sqm, full floor apartments with three bedrooms.

A sprawling three-level penthouse tops the tower. There are four bedrooms and a multi-purpose room on level one, a kitchen living and dining space and media room, on level two, and a gym with private terrace on the roof. The other half of the rooftop is a hotel meeting room and a pool.

Mixed-use hotel and apartment project have gathered steam in recent years across the Gold Coast.

Developer KTQ has been a big driver in the trend. Last year they submitted <a href="/news/qld/ktq-set-to-bring-surfers-paradise-the-highest-level-of-beachfront-luxury">plans for a mixed-use project</a> on their massive Garfield Terrace, Surfers Paradise amalgamation.

Recently receiving sign off from the Gold Coast City Council,&nbsp;Serēn (pronounced serene),&nbsp;will comprise an independent luxury, 60-room hotel, with some suites offering over 100 sqm of living space, and 60 apartments, the smallest on offer spanning a huge 350 sqm and offering three-bedrooms and a multi-purpose room.

Their huge development in Kirra Point also has a hotel component within one of the two residential apartments towers currently under construction.

Veteran developer&nbsp;Morris Property Group has been given the nod by the Gold Coast City Council for its latest project, Bondi Burleigh.

It took about 12 months for Morris, who have developed across Canberra and the Gold Coast for a number of decades, to secure approval for the 25-level project at 1873-1875 Gold Coast Highway, having submitted plans for the striking tower which will home 174 apartments in April 2022.

Canberra-based architecture firm Guida Mosely Brown worked in collaboration with locals Plus Architecture on the designs, which Morris says "blends art, aesthetics, and functionality to create an exceptional structure that enhances the Burleigh skyline with its distinct and innovative character."

The two and three-bedroom apartments will be launched to the market next month. Residents will have access to an entire level of amenities on level two, including a north-facing swimming pool and a&nbsp;state of the art wellness spaces created by Wellness Solutions.

The project's name, Bondi Burleigh, is a nod to the growth and prominence that the Burleigh area has achieved as evolving into one of Australia's leading areas for investment and living.

Morris know the area well and what the market demands. Bondi Burleigh be their fifth project in Burleigh Heads. It also sits right next to another of Morris Property Group’s successful Burleigh projects, Boardwalk Burleigh.

<img alt="The future view from Bondi Burleigh Level 25" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7a6f11cd-6a86-4ca6-a4e4-cbee33a19cd1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-11%20at%2011.51.47%20am.png?VersionId=KWACKbKaWrmDhaDbgOhrBhFDHD2BNjyY" />The future view from Bondi Burleigh's 25th level.

"Our team is thrilled to introduce this project to the Burleigh Heads property market, and we're confident that it will exceed the expectations of our discerning consumers," Morris Property Group Director Barry Morris says.

"At the heart of every project we undertake, is a deep understanding of what our buyers want, and we make sure to prioritise their needs in every aspect of our design. As passionate members of the Gold Coast community, we are excited to bring this unique project to life, and contribute to the vibrant and dynamic property market in this beloved area."

Morris is able to push on despite the construction woes that are plaguing the development space in South East Queensland, given they also build their projects. Nearby their Sandbar Burleigh project, which is almost sold out, has recently topped out.

"Our 'promise to build' approach is the cornerstone of our success as a company," MPG Director James Morris says.

"While the construction industry is currently facing unprecedented challenges, including soaring prices and market instability, we are committed to working through any challenge and delivering on our promises to our buyers and the wider community. As responsible builders, we understand our obligation to ensure that our buildings are completed to the highest standards, no matter the market conditions."

Bondi Burleigh marks Morris' 20th project on the Gold Coast. Late last month they also got sign off for their two-tower development at 9-15 Armrick Avenue, which will bring a further, much needed, 339 apartments to the hot Broadbeach market.

Currently they're selling Essentia in Surfers Paradise, which is expected to be completed by June.

Moonee Valley's designated activity centre is about to get more active, with plans for a new apartment building submitted near Moonee Ponds Central Shopping Centre.

A four-level building has been proposed at 338-340 Ascot Vale Road, comprising 41 two, three and four-bedroom apartments.

There will be 24 two-bed units, which will span between 70 and 85 sqm, 15 three-bedders between 100 and 120 sqm, and just two four-bedrooms apartments with between 190 and 200 sqm of living space.

Smart Planning &amp; Design submitted the application on behalf of site owner Northern Investment Enterprises, which is directed by the Essendon-based Dominico Sita.

Northern Investment Enterprises bought two neighbouring 791 sqm and 561 sqm sites for a combined $5.2 million in 2021. The larger site was marketing as one of the most&nbsp;unique properties to become available in the heart of Moonee Ponds for many years.

The Urban Context and Design Response Report by Smart Planning &amp; Design suggested the area is undergoing change, with an increasing amount of subdivision and multi-lot developments, apartment developments and an increase in commercial and entertainment services and facilities.

"The design of the proposed development has been informed by the Vision of the Moonee Valley Council. As such, we have sought to incorporate the Moonee Valley building blocks into the proposal," the report noted.

"The proposed design has been cognisant of incorporating the principles of a fair city that values diversity, inclusivity and safety; a development that will aid in the provision of access to jobs in addition to being connected with access to transport modes.

DW Architects handled the design of the project, which will have office space on the ground level.

The 1,364 sqm site is located on the eastern side of Ascot Vale Rd, in proximity to Moonee Ponds Central Shopping Centre.

There are several shops and services available within walking distance.

Moonee Ponds Railway Station is located just 700m from the subject site, servicing Craigieburn and Upfield Railway lines.

Tram route 82 runs along Ascot Vale Road, with the closest stop just 66 metres from the site. Several parks and recreational options are available in the immediate surrounding area, including Queens Park, Moonee Valley Football Club, and the Moonee Valley Racing Club.

"The proposed development can provide additional housing options for people looking to live in the area, which can increase the population and bring more foot traffic to local businesses, Smart's report continued.

"Additionally, the proposed office space could attract new businesses and jobs to the area.

"The proposed development will encourage higher-density development that respects the local heritage attributes of the area by incorporating several design elements and features that reflect the historical and cultural context of the area."

A four-level building has been proposed at 338-340 Ascot Vale Road, comprising 41 two, three and four-bedroom apartments

First look: New apartments set for Moonee Ponds

Broadbeach demand has continued to soar in 2023.

The latest success in the booming market has come from prominent South East Queensland developer Mosaic Property Group, who have sold out their first ever Broadbeach project, Marella by Mosaic.

It took less than six months for buyers to snap up nearly all 98 two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as the Mosaic Masterpiece Series sub-penthouses, across the 30-level Surf Parade tower.&nbsp;

The strong result for the multi award-winning developer led to construction being brought forward, with their internal building arm, Mosaic Construction, kicking off on-site in late 2022. Marella's expected completion is in early 2025.

After receiving significant early interest before hitting the market mid-last year, Mosaic snapped up the site next door, something which Mosaic Founder and Managing Director Brook Monahan said was a "no brainer."

They did the same with Dawn in Mermaid Beach, following the sell-out of Bela by Mosaic a few doors away on Peerless Avenue.

Now Mosaic are readying Lily by Mosaic, on Rosewood Avenue, just behind Marella around 100 metres away.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0e714063-5c9b-4aa3-bdf6-ee2b9f281068" href="/new-apartments/lily-by-mosaic-4-rosewood-avenue-broadbeach"><img alt="Lily by Mosaic" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Lily%20by%20Mosaic%20hero.jpg?VersionId=guH0iwtISeT._E0tAqzH_LF.lxLrc57K" /></a>

Monahan says the unveiling of the $160 million project&nbsp;was accelerated to fulfil the ongoing levels of enquiry for Mosaic product on the Gold Coast.&nbsp;

"Fortunately, the market has been traditionally quick to respond to our releases because of the quality, our track record and our commitment to exceptional design," Monahan says.

"Marella sold $94 million in five weeks of its initial release to our VIP database, and we now have nine sold-out projects under construction across the Gold Coast region.

Monahan believes Mosaic product continues to resonate with the market due to a combination of their track record, and the fact they also build their own developments, handling the quality control aspect of the project as well.

"While the buyer pool still remains smaller than a year ago due to consumer sentiment, but picking up again, so is the opportunity to secure a premium apartment in such a prime location from a developer with an unblemished track record of delivery," Monahan says, adding that people are people are recognising that fact.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7cbb9955-3fec-4938-ad5b-99d2691f7edb" href="/new-apartments/lily-by-mosaic-4-rosewood-avenue-broadbeach"><img alt="Lily by Mosaic" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Lily%20by%20Mosaic%20living%20area.jpg?VersionId=nx1ennWpJAorP9w_8v0odbHyGPiNBcJn" /></a>

"We believe this is why Mosaic product continues to resonate with the market. An incredible amount of work and consideration goes into site selection and customer-centric design to ensure our developments meet the market, reflecting how people want to live.

"We cater specifically to owner-occupiers with generous sizing, maximum functionality, superior quality finish, wide-ranging resort-style amenities, and high-demand locations close to lifestyle offerings. And, critically, buyers can be assured that we will.

"Delivering on the promises we make to our customers is what drives our business. The fact we control every aspect of the development process, including construction, and maintain the caretaking and management well after the completion is especially reassuring for buyers.

"It isn't easy, but Mosaic Construction gives us a genuine market advantage in tough times, enabling us to influence outcomes and mitigate risk in critical areas such as labour and supply of materials while also ensuring we maintain a tight oversite on quality control."

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1bb45537-d983-49ae-b05a-6654dc3a6bc7" href="/new-apartments/lily-by-mosaic-4-rosewood-avenue-broadbeach"><img alt="Lily by Mosaic" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Lily%20by%20Mosaic.jpg?VersionId=bHFdUrIzFp8wy8nc8kuUvaQv6F9sZ4y." /></a>

Lily by Mosaic and Marella are located directly opposite Nikiforides Family Park, which allows for protected, uninterrupted ocean views and is a quiet reprieve from the densely populated Broadbeach Boulevard.

Of a similar scale and aesthetic to Marella and Dawn, Lily comprises 98 two and three-bedroom apartments and Mosaic Masterpiece Sky Homes over 28 levels.

There will be five-star amenity which focuses on health, wellness and community, such as a resort-style pool, a wellness centre with gym, sauna and steam room, and outdoor dining and lounge areas on the ground floor. There is also a top floor Residents' Lounge with kitchen, dining space, library and workstations.

As a&nbsp;Mosaic Property Group Sustainable Development, Lily by Mosaic&nbsp;it will include a wide-range of sustainability initiatives, the extent of which far exceeds legislative requirements.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/far-east-consortium">Far East Consortium</a>’s 640 Bourke Street stands as a testament to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/melbourne-vic-3000">Melbourne</a>’s ability to bridge its storied past with a bold vision for the future.&nbsp;

Rising above the heritage-listed Eliza Tinsley building, the development reflects a broader shift toward adaptive reuse in the city, where historical assets are retained and reinterpreted as part of new residential development.

Designed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/640-bourke-street-melbourne-640-bourke-street-melbourne-vic-3000">640 Bourke Street</a> incorporates the Eliza Tinsley building as its foundation, housing a grand gallery and lobby space that serve as both a functional and symbolic centrepiece. The heritage façade informs the tower’s design, creating a connection between Melbourne’s past and its contemporary skyline.

"It's a significant asset and wants to be celebrated and experienced by all residents every single time they go in and out of the building," Rothelowman Principal Stuart Marsland said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365684]

Above this historic base, the 68-storey tower will deliver just over 600 residences, a notable reduction from earlier schemes, reflecting a deliberate move toward larger-format apartments and a stronger owner-occupier focus.

Unlike traditional CBD developments that prioritised investor stock, 640 Bourke Street has been repositioned to respond to changing buyer expectations.

"The discussion was all around making 640 Bourke Street the best residence to live in, to be much more focused on the people in the building rather than people looking at the building," Marsland explained.&nbsp;

This shift is evident in the development’s interiors, which emphasise practical luxury with spacious layouts, high ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing sweeping views of Melbourne and Port Phillip Bay.&nbsp;

“What it's meant for 640 Bourke is we've actually reduced the number of apartments. We've increased the overall size of the apartments. We don't have any studios in here, and what that does for a project is it elevates it," Lauren Sheldon, Far East Consortium’s Director of Sales and Marketing, said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365687]

Rothelowman Associate Jun Chang added, "We were given the opportunity to be more generous. The apartments became bigger and squarer than any other apartments which had been designed in the CBD before that."&nbsp;

Amenities spanning more than 3,000 sqm across multiple levels further reinforce this focus on resident experience. These include a pool, gym, co-working areas, and a range of hospitality-inspired spaces such as a whisky lounge, library, and private dining rooms, many drawing reference from traditional bathhouses and Melbourne’s laneway culture.

"We wanted to make both the pool and the gym area to be absolutely destinational, and when you traverse across to these spaces, there is a gentle familiarity to the beautiful notions of the hammams and the Roman baths, a gentle nod to history," Chang noted.

At street level, the project contributes to the ongoing transformation of the western CBD, with upgrades to Langs Lane and the introduction of retail, hospitality, and gallery spaces designed to activate the precinct and strengthen its connection to the surrounding city fabric.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365689]

The location places residents within walking distance of Southern Cross Station, Flagstaff Gardens, Queen Victoria Market, and the Docklands waterfront, positioning the development within a rapidly evolving inner-city neighbourhood.

"We believe it's the best site left in the city of Melbourne," Craig Williams, Executive Director at Far East Consortium, said.&nbsp;

640 Bourke Street is Far East Consortium’s 14th building in Melbourne’s western CBD.

"A very elegant designed building. It's going to be a Melbourne statement for many, many years to come."

One-bedroom apartments are priced from around $640,000, with 640 Bourke Street targeting completion in 2029.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD Group</a> has set a new residential price record in Queensland with the $30 million sale of the penthouse at its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/one-burleigh-88-the-esplanade-burleigh-heads-qld-4220">ONE Burleigh</a> development in Burleigh Heads.

The sale equates to around $37,500 per sqm.

The two-level, 800 sqm penthouse, featuring five bedrooms, five bathrooms, five car spaces, and a private infinity pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean, was acquired by a Gold Coast-based entrepreneur, highlighting continued demand for ultra-premium beachfront product.

Selling agent Freddie Tehle of PRD Burleigh Heads said the result reflects tightening supply of high-quality, large-format apartments in Burleigh.

“There’s very limited opportunity to secure this level of scale and absolute beachfront position in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/burleigh-heads-qld-4220">Burleigh Heads</a>,” Tehle said.

“Buyers are increasingly seeking apartments that genuinely replace a standalone home, and this penthouse delivers that with its size, privacy, and direct ocean frontage.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146358 project_image_fid=323057]

The sale comes as construction progresses on ONE Burleigh, a boutique development of 17 full-floor residences at 88 The Esplanade, scheduled for completion in early 2027.

Developed by MAYD Group and designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/mas-architecture-studio">MAS Architecture</a> with interiors by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/sici-design">Sici Design</a>, the project has been positioned as a collection of house-sized beachfront apartments, each occupying an entire floor with around 381 sqm of internal and external living space.

When construction commenced, MAYD director Todd Mould pointed to the long-term resilience of premium coastal real estate as a key driver behind the project.

“Real estate, particularly at the premium end, remains one of the most resilient and proven long-term investment avenues,” Mould said.

“Our ambition is that anyone who buys a MAYD-built product can genuinely feel the care, craftsmanship and commitment we bring to every detail.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146358 project_image_fid=323055]

Each residence has been configured with four bedrooms, multiple living zones, a private office, and expansive ocean-facing terraces. Interiors draw on a restrained material palette, including travertine stone, timber joinery, and integrated premium appliances.

Interior designer Sici Design said the approach was to reflect the project’s coastal setting through both materiality and spatial planning.

“ONE Burleigh is our vision of luxury living, designed to bring the essence of Burleigh Heads' vibrant coastal beauty into an unparalleled residential experience.”

Residents will have access to a suite of wellness-focused amenities, including pools, sauna facilities, and dedicated relaxation spaces, reflecting a broader shift toward lifestyle-driven apartment design on the Gold Coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146358 project_image_fid=323052]

The project occupies a southern Esplanade site with uninterrupted beachfront frontage, an increasingly rare offering in Burleigh Heads, free from the Norfolk Pines that line much of the coastline and often limit direct ocean outlook.

Mould said the design intent was to balance that outlook with a sense of retreat.

“Living at ONE Burleigh is about how your day naturally unfolds, morning light across the ocean, coffee on the balcony, and being in Burleigh but elevated above the noise.”

The result further reinforces Burleigh Heads’ emergence as one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held and supply-constrained beachfront markets, where boutique, owner-occupier-focused developments are increasingly setting new price benchmarks.

Apartment developers in the Gold Coast are finding new, creative ways to differentiate themselves from competing projects, as new supply starts to flow through up and down the Coast.

Developer BIG Projects brought in the renowned Sydney-based design studio YSG Studio to craft the interiors for The Frederick, BIG Projects' new Mermaid Beach project and YSG Studio's first move into the multi-residential development space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110588 project_image_fid=5346]

It was a strategic move for BIG Projects to bring in a Sydney eye to the development.

“Our role is to give our design partners the space and freedom to explore,” says Matt Barrett, Director of BIG Projects.

“We wanted YSG Studio to capture the essence of Nobby’s, to design a building that embraces life, light and connection, while creating a genuine sense of place.”

There are only 39 apartments in The Frederick, including a striking beach house, just 100 metres from the booming Nobby Beach precinct.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110588 project_image_fid=5347]

Yasmine Ghoniem, Director of YSG Studio, says their vision&nbsp;for The Frederick "reinvents coastal living."

“Nobby’s has such an iconic energy, it’s one of those rare pockets of the Gold Coast where the community, the beach, and the streets all feel connected,” Ghoniem says.

"Responding to the neighbouring coastline, soothing curves add a relaxing regional overlay, while unique detailing really sets it apart. It’s a place that feels lived in from the moment you step inside.”

A standout feature of The Frederick is its rooftop terrace, an uncommon inclusion for a boutique, low-rise building, where amenity is typically concentrated at ground level.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110588 project_image_fid=5360]

Positioned to capture panoramic views from the hinterland to the ocean, the rooftop has been designed as a series of intimate zones. It includes a pool, sauna, sun decks, workspaces and dedicated entertaining areas.

“The rooftop was conceived as a collection of spaces where residents can unwind and connect, an extension of the Nobby’s lifestyle,” Barrett says.

Architecture for the project was led by Plus Studio, with landscape design by LDG Landscape Architecture.

SRQ Projects Director Nick Clydsdale, who is handling sales at The Frederick, says the majority of enquiry is coming from South East QLD and Victorian buyers who have been actively searching between Broadbeach and Mermaid Beach for some time.

"They’ve reviewed a number of projects, however this one has stood out for its unique detailing and compelling design,"&nbsp;Clydsdale says.

Site demolition is slated for this month, with construction commencing soon after. BIG Projects is targeting a late 2027 completion.

Sydney’s YSG Studio makes Gold Coast multi-residential debut with BIG Projects at The Frederick

Melbourne-based property developer ALTA Property has this week achieved planning approval for the adaptive re-use of a former commercial tower into a $200 million, 169-apartment project at 10 Queens Road, one of the last developable sites along the Albert Park Lake-fronting boulevard.&nbsp;

Set within one of Melbourne’s most sought-after precincts and designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fraser-partners-0">Fraser and Partners</a>, the illustrious building will offer unparalleled views across Albert Park Lake, Port Phillip Bay and Melbourne CBD.&nbsp;

The mix of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom residences will be complemented by a ground-floor amenity featuring private dining, a lounge bar, gym and wellness spaces, co-working, outdoor communal gardens, and retail.&nbsp;

The 17-storey building is a masterclass in adaptive re-use, with the existing commercial building’s façade, shell and internal structure to be retained, before high-end residences are built from the ground up in a newly built Albert Park facing addition to the building.&nbsp;

Sitting atop the building will be two 320+sqm penthouses with private rooftop terraces, which are expected to be priced between $9 - $11 million.&nbsp;

<img alt="ALTA Property achieves permit approval for $200 million Queens Road tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="aa11211b-5581-43f9-940c-fc84d30a0e61" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/C_04.png?VersionId=Yhf5p_1EgGDu_zOIMFgvA8Ug8j3sTFQs" />

Architecturally, the building will feature a curved, geometric façade that celebrates and elevates the existing structure, with warm, muted tones which were selected to extend the materiality of the existing building rather than contrast it.&nbsp;

Interiors will bring together three metre high ceilings with waffle concrete in some spaces, natural timber, granite and Australian materials, culminating in crafted, generous and considered spaces that are defined by authenticity.&nbsp;

The adaptive re-use means that the Queens Road project will be a sustainability led, high-quality finished product, with a 62% saving in carbon emissions by re-using the existing structure rather than knocking it down and rebuilding.&nbsp;

ALTA Property was launched by Nigel Givoni in 2023, bringing over 25 years of experience in multi level residential delivery.&nbsp;

Melbourne’s property market growth is currently led by apartments. According to RPM VIC Apartments &amp; Townhomes Market Report (April 2026), units are outpacing houses, especially in the middle ring suburbs where median prices hit $757,500 – a four-year high that represents 2.9 percent growth quarter-on-quarter.&nbsp;

<img alt="ALTA Property achieves permit approval for $200 million Queens Road tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="647e13d7-b4bc-433a-9bc9-fe3c3dd4f2ec" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/V_06.png?VersionId=ou4NUCWUgA3NAy.6CQJlEdKX50j3dOk6" />

For ALTA Property Founder Nigel Givoni, this performance speaks to the confidence he has in the Melbourne market.&nbsp;

“Queens Road represents a rare opportunity to continue to shape our presence in the Melbourne market.,"&nbsp;Givoni says.

"With a considered project team and a premier site along one of the city’s most sought-after boulevards, we look forward to contributing to the fabric of this established address.

“Other Australian markets are getting a lot of attention, but I believe the depth of value in Melbourne is being overlooked. The fundamentals are strong, population growth is steady and, based on our preliminary conversations with a leading builder, construction costs are beginning to normalise, creating further opportunity."

Givoni says the project is a&nbsp;highly considered example of adaptive re-use, delivering quality, high-end residences, premium hotel-inspired amenities and an architecturally striking façade, all achieved without the need to remove the existing structure.

"We are really looking forward to the market’s response,” he said.&nbsp;

ALTA Property to deliver $200 million Queens Road apartment tower

Construction is set to begin at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/orchard-mews-glen-iris-18-scott-grove-glen-iris-vic-3146">Orchard Mews</a> in Glen Iris, with&nbsp;PC Whitehall &amp; Sons&nbsp;now appointed as the townhome development moves into its next phase.

The development by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/montcoeur">MontCoeur</a>,&nbsp;located at 18 Scott Grove, is now around 30 per cent sold, with completion targeted for late-2027.

Orchard Mews comprises a curated collection of three- and four-bedroom customisable townhomes, positioned within one of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/glen-iris-vic-3146">Glen Iris</a>’ more tightly held residential streets. The low-density project has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, with landscape architecture by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/jack-merlo">Jack Merlo</a>, bringing together a team known for high-end residential projects across Melbourne.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150128 project_image_fid=366285]

The development is defined by its focus on flexible living and long-term usability. Each residence includes multiple living zones and a customisable multipurpose room, allowing buyers to tailor spaces to suit changing needs, whether as a home office, additional bedroom, wellness area or entertainment space.

Architecturally, the townhomes emphasise natural light and spatial volume, with dual-aspect layouts and double-height living areas incorporated into the design. Interiors feature natural stone benchtops, premium appliances, and a neutral material palette intended to support everyday functionality rather than statement-driven finishes.

All residences are all-electric and include private lifts and secure double garages, reflecting a broader shift toward sustainability and future-focused housing in Melbourne’s established suburbs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150128 project_image_fid=366277]

Outdoor connections are also central to the offering, with a mix of private courtyards and terraces extending internal living spaces and integrating with the landscaped surrounds.

The Scott Grove address places Orchard Mews within close proximity to some of Melbourne’s key lifestyle and education amenities, including Scotch College, Sacré Cœur, Cabrini Hospital and the retail hub of Chadstone. Public transport access is also nearby, with trams and Gardiner Station providing connectivity to the CBD and surrounding suburbs.
