A rare opportunity has opened up at Cloverton, the largest masterplanned community currently being developed across the whole of Victoria.

Builder developer Kincaid, who cover everything from developing apartments towers in Melbourne to building houses within new neighbourhoods, are creating just six contemporary townhouses in Stockland's $4.6 billion masterplanned community in Kalkallo, near&nbsp;Donnybrook, 30 kilometres north of Melbourne.

The four-bedroom townhouses offer a fully turnkey solution, and flexible living arrangements to suit guest accomodation and the now essential work from home space.

Kincaid's General Manager of Sales, Jason De Felice, says their experience developing in Ivanhoe, Preston and Kew has influenced their design of the striking townhouses.

"We're trying to bring that level of design to Cloverton and create a point of difference in the community," De Felice says.

"Like every development we do, but particularly in the townhouse space, we always try and step into the mind of the end user. We try and visualize ourselves living in it."

Kincaid's attention to detail has seen them push the envelope past what's expected in a new townhouse.

"We're giving our residents porcelain tiles over ceramic, 40mm stone in the kitchen compared to the standard 20mm, rainwater showers and high-end tapware.

"They might not seem like major points of difference, but it shows we go to the nth degree for our buyers."

The fact that the property is fully turnkey is something Kincaid pride themselves on. Some developers leave out cooling systems and landscaping, but Kincaid cover everything so they buyer can pick up the keys and live in the home immediately. There's even covering the Community Structure Levy Fee for buyers.

About 3,000 residents already call Cloverton home, with the first phases of infrastructure already complete in the 1,141 hectare development which began back in 2015. That number will grow to over 30,000 in the next three decades.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140239 project_image_fid=213614]

Cloverton is remaining true to nature, with 80 hectares of conservation area to be untouched. That's around the size of 11 MCG's.

There's been a significant number of owner-occupiers, from first home buyers and young families to retirees already purchase in Cloverton, however more recently investors are looking at the opportunity due to the area's significant infrastructure pipeline.

There's already the Donnybrook Train Station, which connects Cloverton residents to the Melbourne CBD in 36 minutes, while another train station, and a new village bus network, are also in the works. There's eight proposed schools, a mix of private and government operated, plus tertiary and childcare options.

There is planned for a major shopping centre which will be walking distance from the townhouses.

The townhomes also have an estimated rental of $400 to $420 a week, which would represent a yield of over four per cent. Prices range between $499,000 and $579,000 for the house and land package, with land sizes starting from 174 sqm.

From signing the contract with Kincaid, the build should take around 12 months from when the concrete is first poured.

Brisbane's off the plan property market led the country in sales comparative to how much stock is on the market, according to Urbis' Apartment Essentials National Snapshot Q1 2023.

Brisbane just edged the Gold Coast having the highest sales rate as a percentage. Nearly a fifth of apartments that were on the market sold in Q1.

Sydney and Perth were just below the 10 per cent mark, while Melbourne had the largest gap with just five per cent of apartments selling compared to how many are on the market.

<img alt="Brisbane Q1" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="81fa8299-1584-4fda-8cb9-b0889a7f574e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-06-15%20at%208.33.22%20am.png?VersionId=WWA34iAicIoYMjKHpZMnlSfnL_cyK3cM" />

Brisbane was pushed to the highest sales to supply rate due to two projects in Toowong.

Mosaic's The Prescott, which is only in its presale phase, secured 94 sales in Q1 with an average sale price of $973,000. There's only 100 apartments in the Lissner Street development.

The next best performer was Monarch Residences, the recently launched project by Don O'Rorke's Consolidated Properties. They scored 75 sales in Q1, at an average sale price of just over $1 million. Nine apartments in the development have sold for over $4 million.

They've got 224 apartments across the two towers, which Hutchinsons Builders have just started constructing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=211492]

James MacGinley, Head of Residential at Consolidated Properties Group, said the key to selling in the current market is really understanding the buyer demographic.

"At Monarch Residences, we have split our penthouse collection between the top floors and the lower level along the riverfront.

"This decision was made to appeal to two distinct groups of buyers - those wanting a traditional penthouse with horizon views, and those looking for a ‘river home’ with the benefits of apartment living."

Mirvac's Isle Waterfront project in Newstead, which is currently under construction, secured 21 sales in Q3 as it approaches sell out. The ASX-listed developer has sold over 110 apartments to date, at an average sale price of $1.261 million.

Sekisui's giant West Village masterplan has performed consistently well ever since the national developer started the masterplan over seven years ago.

Their sixth and seventh tower in the masterplan, Uno and Duo, which make up the Allere Collection both saw continued sales through Q1 2023. Uno, which has 94 apartments, secured 19 sales in the first three months of the year, and it's neighbouring Uno tower had 16 sales.

Both buildings, designed by Rothelowman, are under construction and have just over 20 apartments left in each. Two-bedroom apartments are still available, priced from $860,000.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=207148]

One of the five-bedroom penthouses made headlines earlier this year when it sold for $7,016,000, a record for West End.

The Allere Collection will be the penultimate opportunity to buy into the thriving $1.1 billion community. Only one more tower will rise from the West End precinct, Callista on Park, which will comprise 74 three and four-bedroom apartments.

Since kicking off the development of West Village seven years ago, on the site of the landmark Peter's Ice Cream factory, the $1.2 billion village has&nbsp;won more than 50 awards, the most recent being the&nbsp;internationally renowned 2022 ULI APAC Award for Excellence.

Recently completed projects across Melbourne are dominating buyer enquiry at present. They offer an easy&nbsp;entry to the new apartment space, and they are&nbsp;providing&nbsp;different opportunities for a number of market segments.

The most recent to benefit is prominent CBD and&nbsp;inner city&nbsp;developer&nbsp;<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.urban.com.au/developers/central-equity&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1686718534749000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1U0Ml4YBnpPPPzf7Y6MFIu" href="/developers/central-equity" target="_blank">Central Equity</a>, who are just completing their newest apartment project,&nbsp;<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/parkhill-apartments-408-spencer-street-west-melbourne&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1686718534749000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1R-ng_-AVHkl6C52N44Kic" href="/buildings/parkhill-apartments-west-melbourne-408-spencer-street-west-melbourne" target="_blank">Parkhill</a>,&nbsp;and have just started welcoming residents.

The 20-level tower is&nbsp;attracting both first home buyers, who are wanting to move away from renting due to the current&nbsp;tight&nbsp;rental&nbsp;market, as well as investors, who are looking for those high yield apartments which also offer significantly higher depreciation tax benefits&nbsp;compared to&nbsp;older units.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27406 project_image_fid=214207]

Central Equity Marketing Manager Jeremy Vile says buyers are likely to pay more for future new apartment projects because of rising construction costs and land values.

"We're offering brand new, two-bedroom apartments in the low $600,000's, which is a price that is going to be hard to replicate given the increased cost of both construction and land values," he says.

There's a mix of one and two bedroom apartments on offer in Parkhill.

He also says having the value add of a completed apartment has seen buyer demand increase in the last few months.

"In this market, people are looking for certainty," he added.

"People want to see the finished apartments and walk through them”

"For the most part, renters are walking through and they're either living or renting something older in the heart of the city. Parkhill gives them the opportunity to upgrade to something brand new, in a location which offers something different to inner-city living."

Vile says the location is one of the key drivers in buyer demand.

"While we're a CBD address, we're at the north end of Spencer Street, next to Flagstaff Gardens, which brings with it a quieter lifestyle than being in the heart of the city.

"It's a bit of an educational pocket. A little north of Parkhill are secondary and government schools, while campuses for RMIT, Melbourne University, and William Angliss, are either within walking distance or a short tram ride away."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27406 project_image_fid=214155]

Jeremy Vile says the designs at Parkhill were well considered for the end user from inception.

“Central Equity have embraced the State Governments Better Apartment Guidelines and we've looked at how people want to live”.

"All of our ceiling heights are nearly three metres, and we've matched that with large floor-to-ceiling glass walls to allow as much natural light in as possible and give a spacious feel."

There was even consideration to make the balconies as useable as possible. Every apartment has an expansive balcony, located off the living space, which can fit a table and chairs enabling alfresco dining.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27406 project_image_fid=214196]

Central Equity’s experience over 35 years has been a key factor in the delivery of this quality project. Every detail down to the insulated walls and plumbing to keep noise levels at a minimum was considered. Apartments feature high quality fixtures and fittings, including Miele appliances and German tapware.

A big feature of Parkhill is the resident rooftop terrace which has a walking track which weaves around the whole roof. There is also a gym, barbecue facilities, seating, and stunning views toward the Bay, Docklands, and back to the city.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27406 project_image_fid=68146]

Central Equity started building Parkhill in late 2021, once they finished Melbourne Grand.&nbsp;

Central Equity are hosting a Preview Event at Parkhill 15th to the 25th of June onsite at 408 Spencer St, where prospective buyers can get the first look of Parkhill, tour fully-furnished display apartments, the rooftop resident facilities, and inspect a limited range of brand new apartments for sale.

National property group Traders In Purple has been appointed by the Anglican Diocese of Sydney to lead the urban renewal of St Albans Church at Five Dock.

The future vision for the church site will include a mix of new housing and ground floor amenity to enhance public space and seamless interaction with the adjacent Five Dock Metro Station, currently under construction.

The Sydney Anglican engagement adds to Traders In Purple’s extensive portfolio of partnerships where it has established itself as a trusted partner to Government. It has a significant pipeline of mixed tenure projects with the NSW Land and Housing Corporation valued at over $590 million, and a $300 million mixed use masterplanned community 15 minutes from Hobart, in partnership with Kingborough Council.

Renewal of the Five Dock site will result in a considered mixed-use precinct to include housing, new indoor and outdoor public spaces as well as office and retail uses that will deliver recurrent income to the Diocese.

As part of the site renewal, careful restoration of the heritage listed St Albans Church, whose foundation stone was laid in 1858, will be undertaken as well as adaptive reuse of Ridley Hall for a restaurant, community and commercial uses.

Traders In Purple will now begin church restoration works and commence discussions with Canada Bay Council and the NSW Government on planning approvals for the 4,014 sqm site. It is anticipated the planning proposal will be lodged mid-year.

<img alt="Traders Five Dock" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="105c3630-c1fe-4532-aac8-495591a243ef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-06-13%20at%2012.26.24%20pm.png?VersionId=sORlNiY1UZMNdj.3K9Q5NW_trFupBBrJ" />

Traders In Purple Director George Geagea said the company was looking forward to partnering with the Anglican Diocese to realise a number of benefits for its church community and the broader public.

“We look forward to enhancing St Albans Church and Ridley Hall so that the Five Dock community can continue to enjoy these much-loved local landmarks,” said Geagea.

“Our approach to heritage and expertise in the delivery of mixed tenure housing was an important factor in the Diocesan decision to engage Traders In Purple. We respect and enjoy working with the complexities of heritage properties and have demonstrated our capability in adaptive reuse of many local treasures.

"Together we are seeking to revitalise the heritage buildings to ensure that they continue to play the vital roles in the community’s life that they have for so many decades.”

Traders In Purple was recognised with a 2021 UDIA National Award for Excellence for “The Abbey” in Cronulla, an adaptive reuse of a Uniting Church and Sunday School Hall into luxury residences. Its restoration of the Sisters of Mercy Chapel in Goulburn and the historic Greyleigh homestead in the Kiama hinterland as a luxury boutique accommodation and wedding venue are among the group’s portfolio of heritage passion projects. Its Correa Gardens community housing development won the Urban Taskforce Award for Affordable Residential Development last year.

The Five Dock project is part of the Sydney Anglican Urban Renewal Pilot Program (URPP), the aim of which is to activate church properties across the Sydney Diocese to become vital community hubs.

Geagea said the Five Dock Metro Station adjacent to St Albans presented the ideal opportunity to deliver urgently needed new housing in a well-established inner-west suburb.

“Transport infrastructure is the key to sustainable housing growth,” said Geagea.

“It enables a walkable lifestyle where people are not car dependent and have easy access to shops, schools, restaurants, cafes and open space.

“Sydney’s housing affordability and rental crisis cannot be solved without building more homes to meet the increase in population. Rather than pushing people out to the city fringe, suburbs such as Five Dock are ideally placed to absorb some of this growth, giving young people and families a chance for a home and a fulfilling lifestyle, close to where they work.”

The launch of Ocean Suites on Jennifer has seen rightsizers descend on the small Runaway Bay enclave in the northern Gold Coast.

The luxury waterfront project of just seven villas at 10-12 Jennifer Avenue is being targeting by those seeking something different to a high-end Gold Coast beachfront apartment, which have been in plentiful supply for the last few years.

Each villa has between 345 sqm and 388 sqm of internal living space across four levels.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138718 project_image_fid=214435]

The smart home-enabled villas have four bedrooms, two living areas, a rumpus room, media room, study nook, their own private marina berth, and a waterfront plunge pool.

Crowning each villa is a rooftop bar and entertainment level, accessible by a lift which runs from the basement garage to the roof.

Developer Sand Side Developments is undertaking the boutique development with award-winning builder Alroe, which has completed prior projects on the Gold Coast including Habitat at Tugun and The Palms at Palm Beach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138718 project_image_fid=214432]

Knight Frank agent&nbsp;James Elliott said he expects&nbsp;interest from a range of buyers, including local rightsizers, people who are planning their retirement in the next five years and looking for a residence now, and those looking for a holiday home on the Gold Coast. Elliott believes the project will also attract international buyers.

“Our initial feedback demonstrates that Interest from rightsizers has already been very strong, with this product suiting these buyers perfectly, with every amenity you need spread over the four levels," Elliott said.

Elliott said the biggest selling points of the development were its idyllic waterfront location and the luxury inclusions.

“With only 300 meters to direct ocean access to the Broadwater and only 80 meters stroll to an exclusive beach, Ocean Suites is like nothing the Gold Coast has seen before," Elliott said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138718 project_image_fid=214446]

“The waterfront residences are coastal havens, fostering a truly outdoor lifestyle. Ocean Suites enjoys a central and convenient location that’s close enough to the amenity of Runaway Bay and surrounds to ensure accessibility, yet far enough away to maintain a sense of seclusion, so residents can enjoy all their backyard has to offer without having to venture too far from home."

Prices start from $2,995,000.

“Given what’s on offer in the waterfront location, Ocean Suites on Jennifer sits at a very competitive price point, with buyers able to take advantage of the impending growth in the market," Elliott added.

“The residential market is accepted to be on the way back up and prices will only rise further from here as the population grows and demand continues to be strong.”

The forward-thinking, design-led developer Milieu has launched its latest project.

It's already been met with significant demand given Milieu's standing as one of the most design-focused developers across Melbourne.

They've started taking enquiries for Plant Street, their first project in the bluechip suburb Malvern, which they are developing alongside partner Penfold.

Plant Street will comprise just 21 generously-sized apartments, with an equal focus on architecture, interiors, and landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139856 project_image_fid=214086]

Milieu Director and Head of Development Shannon Peach said the approach to design starts with an ensemble who can understand a project’s context and respond to it, which is what they do in all of their projects.

"It’s part curatorial process and part innovative exploration."

Milieu assembled a collaborative team of architecture firm RITZ&amp;GHOUGASSIAN, interior design practice Georgina Jeffries, and esteemed landscape architects Acre.

Peach said that while&nbsp;Plant Street represents a new location for a Milieu project, their approach remains the same.

"We’re curating a building that sits comfortably within its setting, using enduring materials like concrete and brick that will age gracefully."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139856 project_image_fid=214088]

RITZ&amp;GHOUGASSIAN Co-Directors Gilad Ritz and Jean-Paul Ghougassian said the project filters the streetscape without creating disconnection from the neighbourhood, while&nbsp;Georgina Jeffries says the interiors are warm, inviting and elegant.

“We want these homes to feel like sanctuaries”, Jeffries, the Creative Director at Georgina Jeffries, said.

“The intuitive and adaptable design of the interiors means residents can really make these spaces their own. The considered layouts, natural materials and varied textures are there to serve as backdrops for the residents’ belongings and personalities."

Penfold Co-Director Dave Penfold said a&nbsp;great deal of thought went into ensuring the design was distinct, contemporary and progressive while remaining considerate of local sensibilities.

"The strong architectural response, warm and functional interiors, and generous landscaping ensure Plant Street will be a timeless addition to the neighbourhood."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139856 project_image_fid=214087]

Milieu Head of Sales Patrick Cooney says he's expecting most of the buyers to be downsizers within the area who want to lock up and leave home.

"This might act as their Melbourne base, and they have property elsewhere either coastal or in the country where they split their time," Cooney says.

Every thought has been considered for the downsizer market.

"We've created a product that still offers all of the home comforts those downsizers want in their next home" Cooney says.

"The expansive dining space can cater for over 10 people for dinner parties, or host the family over Christmas. The kitchens have too been designed to be large enough to cook and entertain for large groups, with large island benches and include space for wine fridges in every apartment."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139856 project_image_fid=214089]

Milieu will soon be hosting a VIP launch for those who first enquired on the project, as they draw the curtains on the display suite located at 8 Otter Street, Collingwood.

The Northside display location will give prospective purchasers the opportunity to tour Milieu’s portfolio of completed developments within the inner north.

Milieu is currently working on their largest development offering to date in Elsternwick, due to launch early in 2024.

Last year they secured the site of the former ABC Studios, some 11,000 sqm on Gordon Street, and plan six different buildings, which they've just received their planning permit for. They're only covering 50 per cent of the site, with the idea to create a community address.

"There will be plenty of separation between the six buildings given we're keeping 50 per cent of the site to landscaping and walkways," Cooney says, adding that they'll be developing three individual parks through the project.

"The intention is to create a community rather than a high density project," Cooney said.

Cronulla developer Sammut Group have hit major milestones at two of their&nbsp;

Their $65 million, office and retail development PARC, has broken ground, while their $18 million residential project SALT in South Cronulla, has topped out.

SALT, designed by Innovate Architects, comprises four full-floor luxury apartments each with 143 sqm of internal living space and a further 36 sqm across two large balconies.

Sammut Group Chief Operating Officer Julian Sammut says the residential project is significant for Sammut Group as it links back to the company’s origins.

"We are delighted to mark this significant milestone towards the completion of SALT," Sammut says.

"This project relates back to Sammut Group’s original product, opulent oversized apartments, providing residents with an exclusive lifestyle in a boutique, state-of-the-art development."

Located at 44 Gerrale Street Cronulla, the luxury development adds to the already strong presence Sammut Group has in Cronulla with its future developments, VUE and PARC, only a short distance away.

“We are excited to deliver another landmark development to Cronulla," Sammut added.

"We take a lot of pride in our developments but in particular the ones in our backyard.”

Highland Properties agent David Highland says SALT is a signature product for Sammut Group.

“SALT is a very special project that is synonymous with the Sammut Group brand and quality," Highland says.

Two apartments in SALT still remain, with prices starting from $4.75 million.

SALT is expected to complete construction towards the end of this year.

RAW Constructions, a family-operated construction company, is handling the build of SALT, which is expected to complete construction toward the end of the year.

The same building firm are construction Sammut's mixed-use commercial and hospitality development, PARC, where they've just broken ground.

Also designed by Innovate Architects, the $65 million development comprises seven storeys with a two-level multi-venue hospitality space soon to be operated by Feros Group, and five levels of commercial space. A further floor will be dedicated to a co-working space operated by Sammut Group.

<img alt="PARC" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="679d1539-6f66-4360-ab0a-d5251b2807c7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-06-13%20at%2012.13.40%20pm.png?VersionId=vvp_qPo2ALB_gjjOOZfoPj7LmgMk4n2W" />

Located at 138-142 Cronulla Street, PARC will take full advantage of its park-side location, with various suites at all levels taking in green views over the open space.

Sammut says PARC is delivering a much-needed level of commercial office space to the area and further demonstrates Sammut Group’s long-term commitment to Cronulla.

“Cronulla is our home and we feel a strong sense of responsibility to elevate the area, by providing a portfolio of premium offerings where people can live, work, and play,” Sammut says.

Sammut Group is currently delivering a $835 million pipeline across Cronulla and the Gold Coast. Current projects include VUE, PARC and COAST and the soon-to-be-released PALM.

Plans have been filed for a new apartment development on West Footscray's popular Barkly Street.

Diversified developer Birchmore has submitted plans for a 56-apartment project at 590-596 Barkly Street, right near a number of food and beverage and the closest a Barkly Street project can get to Shorten Reserve.

They're proposing a five-level building designed by Genton on the large 2,612 sqm block, an amalgamation of four sites which currently home two single detached houses and two commercial and retail buildings.

Nearby, Woolworths have submitted a Planning Application for a mixed use development.

There will be eight one-bed apartments, 22 two-bedders, and eight three-beds.

The ground floor will be activated with two retail spaces fronting Barkly Street, something which Genton said in their application documents will no doubt provide benefit for both residents and the local community.

"An extension of the existing urban fabric, retail tenancies off the ground proposed will ensure development of the local context in line with council’s future ambitions for the area," Genton noted.

"Having retail space incorporated into the design on ground levels provides continuation of the existing retail fronts along Barkly Street. The retail and residential entry is set back creating a breakout space between the existing footpath and the building for small social gathering/meeting place."

<img alt="Birchmore" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e203cadb-293b-4304-b5b5-903860e7dca6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-06-08%20at%2012.16.19%20pm.png?VersionId=xrmVD4K19G1OiqZ9_AsldI_p_ShZBA7J" />

Ed Cramer, Birchmore Development Director, said West Footscray is gentrifying, and the site sits in the heart of an area on the cusp of significant growth.

"That western corridor has grown massively, and we felt it was the right time to look to deliver an owner-occupier focused project that we believe will suit locals who want to be in the Footscray area, but away from the high density pocket toward the city."

They've taken some inspiration from Assembled Communities' 122 Roseneath St. in Clifton Hill, which received the Victorian Premier’s Design Award for excellence in Service Design.

"We've focused on airflow dynamics and crossflow ventilation incorporated in the design. One of the project's most striking features assists in the ventilation, a central open air corridor on the upper levels which opens to the sky." 
<img alt="Birchmore" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="250ebefe-8926-435f-866c-76ddfeaeed93" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-06-08%20at%2012.16.14%20pm.png?VersionId=pAYrpLxn3kTk0JEV0XqU8_Wwjh8yHKXp" />

Birchmore are now working with the local community, including the not-for-profit op shop which currently occupies one of the commercial buildings on the site.

They're strictly inline with the DDO that was put on the site after the West Footscray Structure Plan. The project will offer car parking for 73 vehicles and 71 bicycle spaces.

With a diversified development pipeline of over $450 million, Birchmore’s investment strategy focuses on have three sectors being retail, multi-residential and master planned communities.

Their most recent house and land project is a 200 lot plus development on the southern outskirts of Geelong.

To launch before the&nbsp;West Footscray&nbsp;project will be a 39- apartment development in Moonee Ponds, also aimed at the owner- occupier. Birchmore are hoping to start construction this year.

Birchmore plot sustainable West Footscray apartment development

Norwest Quarter, Mulpha’s ambitious new sustainable residential development, is being supported by an $80 million green loan from the&nbsp;Clean Energy Finance Corporation&nbsp;(CEFC) to cut energy costs by as much as 50 per cent, demonstrating how energy efficient homes can contribute to our net zero emissions future.

Located in Sydney’s Hills district and developed by Mulpha Australia, Stage 1 of Norwest Quarter will deliver 196 net zero-ready apartments that will consume 50 per cent less electricity from the grid and will be powered by 100 per cent renewable energy with an all-electric and gas-free design.

The CEFC's position is being matched by an $80 million green loan from ANZ. The sustainable apartments will have an average 7-star NatHERS rating, provide residents with significant water savings and make it possible to reduce waste to landfill by more than 50 per cent.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=103264 project_image_fid=196020]

CEFC CEO Ian Learmonth said that the project showcases how low emission buildings and further development of the circular economy can be achieved with existing technology.

“Renewables are one of the lowest cost forms of energy and are a great place to cut energy costs and reduce our carbon output," Learmonth said.

"Sustainable high density residential buildings have a leading role to play in the future of our cities and are particularly relevant to growing areas like north- western Sydney.

"Norwest Quarter is an ambitious development that has innovated by taking a holistic approach to optimise sustainability at every level of the building process. We need to lock in this approach to all new and existing buildings as we target net zero emissions."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=103264 project_image_fid=196019]

Learmonth said as&nbsp;one of Australia’s first masterplanned urban precincts to incorporate sustainable aspects from the design stage, Norwest Quarter residents will be able to reap the benefits of the buildings and reduce their carbon footprints into the future.

"We all want to cut our energy costs, whether in businesses or at home.

"By reducing the energy used by our homes, appliances and vehicles and switching to renewables we can make a sustainable change to how energy is used across the towns and cities of Australia.”

Featuring two main towers designed by award winning Australian Architectural firms Smart Design Studio and Bates Smart, apartments within Norwest Quarter will be finished to a premium quality and significant sustainability standard and include energy efficient appliances, LED lighting, induction cooktops, efficient plumbing fixtures and heat pump hot water systems. These inclusions will reduce residents grid reliance, minimise their carbon footprints and make it possible to reduce household bills by more than 25 per cent a year. 1

[smartcode_project:default project_id=103264 project_image_fid=196013]

Norwest Quarter forms part of Mulpha’s broader Norwest precinct and will include landscaped open space at ground level to aid in urban heat reduction and more than 3,000 square metres of retail space. Support for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, solar rooftops and the use of low emission building materials will also be included, alongside features that support the circular economy such as recycled water for toilets and onsite organic waste treatment.

The development is estimated to abate potential of 1,507tCO 2 -e in the buildings’ first year of operations and 30,132tCO 2 -e over their projected lifetime.

Greg Shaw, Mulpha Australia CEO said Mulpha Australia is very pleased to have structured the facility with the CEFC and ANZ to have met internationally recognised Green Loan Principles.

"Being able to partner with these financial groups in the delivery of one of Australia’s first ever, zero emission urban precincts is an exciting achievement," Shaw said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=103264 project_image_fid=196001]

“Norwest Quarter in The Hills Shire of Sydney will be one of Australia’s first urban precinct developments to fully incorporate sustainable design principles from conception through to its construction and long-term performance, resulting in zero carbon living at 25 percent less cost for residents.

"As a major property developer, investor and manager we are committed to sustainable finance and design principles because this is not just good for the environment, it’s good for all our stakeholders being the communities in which we operate, our investors and business partners.”

&nbsp;

The residential sector contributes 12 per cent to Australia’s total carbon footprint 2 and represents $70 billion in expenditure annually, including 208,000 new home starts in 2021-22. Residential buildings are responsible for around 24 per cent of Australia’s overall electricity use and therefore the sector represents a real opportunity to significantly cut emissions.

Gold Coast developer S&amp;S Projects, Paul Gedeoun's development company which&nbsp;is reshaping Rainbow Bay with two striking apartment developments currently under construction and one recently completed, is set to bring a fourth project to the coastal hotspot.

S&amp;S has lodged plans with the <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld?sort=">Gold Coast</a> City Council for <a href="/new-apartments/radia-rainbow-bay-271-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Radia Rainbow Bay</a>, a 13-level tower with just 33 apartments at 271 Boundary Street, toward the eastern end of the sought-after street just a stone's throw from the famous Point Danger headland.

The $140 million development will follow the recently completed&nbsp;$90 million Flow residences, the sold-out $48 million Awaken which is adjacent to the new project, and $140 million <a href="/new-apartments/esprit-217-227-boundary-street-coolangatta">Esprit</a>. The latter of the two projects are currently being built.

“Our confidence in the southern Gold Coast market has never been stronger, especially at Rainbow Bay which epitomises the sophisticated beach lifestyle overlooking the region’s world-famous surf breaks and close to the vibrant heart of Coolangatta,” said Gedoun.

“Our latest project in this highly sought-after precinct is inspired by the success of our previous developments and has been designed to meet the demand we continue to experience for luxury residences in this special part of the Coast.”

<a href="/developers/ss-projects">S&amp;S Projects</a> has enlisted award-winning firm Cottee Parker Architects, the design partner for all of its Rainbow Bay developments, to create a building that responds to its laid-back coastal location, while offering generous views and privacy for residents.

The building will feature a luxury subtropical design achieved through light building materials, deep recesses and vegetation throughout built form.

<img alt="S&amp;S Projects" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="95d7a993-9ce6-41b7-a689-f0239c2c41d0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-06-08%20at%208.48.28%20am.png?VersionId=xmpu.5_JuWgOWvlf4RJpNDKqOqQ.HshM" />

The boutique development will comprise eight two-bedroom apartments and 17 three- bedroom apartments, topped off by eight three-bedroom penthouses and sub-penthouses on the upper levels.

The residences will each offer generous floor plans ranging from 100 sqm to 174 sqm for the two-bedroom apartments, including balconies.

Three-bedroom residences will have living areas from 172 sqm to 255 sqm, including balconies, while sub-penthouses offer expansive spaces of between 333 sqm and 340 sqm.

Levels 11 and 12 of the development will house two sprawling penthouses of 504 sqm and 569 sqm each, including balconies, while offering spectacular coastal views high on the hill at Rainbow Bay.

Residents also will enjoy a host of amenities including a ground-floor recreation area comprising a swimming pool, outdoor dining and barbecue area, communal private dining, kitchen and wine tasting rooms, a business centre meeting room, a wellness centre and gym.

The development is located a short stroll to Rainbow Bay, Greenmount Beach and Coolangatta Beach, home to the southern Gold Coast’s thriving café culture and extensive retail facilities.

Jayde Pezet of Pezet Matheson, which has successfully marketed the three S&amp;S projects, said there was an over-subscription of buyers for luxury product in Rainbow Bay.

“We’ve had interested parties who were not able to get into Paul’s first three projects that are waiting for more quality new product to enter the market,” Pezet said.

“S&amp;S Projects has introduced a quality of product never seen before at Rainbow Bay and there is still very strong interest in luxury end user focussed product in the area.

“On that basis we’re very keen to get this project to the market subject to council approval.”

Pezet says, pending council approvals, they are anticipating an official launch by the end of this year.

Gedeoun's luxury projects, Flow and Awaken, have set a luxury and price benchmark for the southern Gold Coast which has seen affluent buyers flock to what is regarded as one of Australia’s premier north facing beaches overlooking the world famous Snapper Rocks.

Flow apartments achieved an average price record of $3.5 million per apartment while Awaken’s penthouse sold for $9 million and is heading for completion later this year.

Not all apartment amenities are immediately visible.

Swimming pools, gyms, rooftop terraces and residents' lounges have long featured on buyers' wishlists, but as the way Australians live has changed, so too have the features that make apartment living more convenient.

Increasingly, buyers are placing value on the practical aspects of day-to-day life. Fast internet, EV charging, secure bike storage, flexible workspaces and parcel management are becoming just as relevant as lifestyle amenities, reflecting changing habits and expectations.

Online shopping has been one of the biggest drivers of that shift.

Australians spent a record $82.6 billion shopping online in 2025, with almost one in every four retail dollars now spent digitally, making parcel deliveries a routine part of everyday life rather than an occasional convenience.

For apartment residents, however, receiving those deliveries isn't always straightforward.

Without someone home to accept a parcel, deliveries can be redirected to a nearby Post Office, left in building foyers or common areas, or require building management to temporarily store packages. As apartment living continues to grow across Australia's cities, parcel management has become an increasingly important consideration for both residents and developers.

Australia Post's Parcel Locker network is one response to that shift.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KPZ9j5FRdsQ?si=Qztc1dNP3ZvEIUhb" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

Rather than relying on home delivery, eligible parcels can be directed to a nominated Parcel Locker, where they're securely stored until collected. Once a parcel arrives, residents receive a notification through the AusPost app or SMS and can retrieve it using a one-time code or QR code at a time that suits them.

The network has expanded to more than 1,500 locations nationwide, with Parcel Lockers positioned at Post Offices, shopping centres, supermarkets, transport hubs and, increasingly, within or alongside residential developments.

That growing presence reflects a broader change in how apartment buildings are being planned.

Developers are increasingly considering the operational side of apartment living alongside traditional lifestyle amenities. Just as secure mailrooms, bicycle storage and EV charging have become more common inclusions, parcel management is emerging as another feature that supports everyday convenience.

It also helps preserve the arrival experience within a building. Carefully designed lobbies and communal spaces can quickly become cluttered when deliveries accumulate, while secure parcel solutions reduce the likelihood of missed deliveries or parcels being left unattended.

For buyers comparing apartments, these everyday details are becoming part of the decision-making process.

Location, floorplans and finishes remain fundamental, but the features that simplify daily life are carrying greater weight than they once did. As online shopping continues to shape consumer behaviour, secure parcel delivery is increasingly becoming another amenity worth looking for.

Parcel delivery is joining the apartment amenity checklist

Inca Property Group has lodged a State Significant Development Application (SSDA) for Dawn, a 53-apartment oceanfront development overlooking Mona Vale Beach.

The proposal, at 35-39 Darley Street East, would replace an existing 18-apartment strata building with a new owner-occupier-focused development comprising 53 two and three-bedroom apartments, including nine affordable built-to-rent residences delivered under the State's infill affordable housing scheme.

Positioned on a 2,679 sqm elevated site around 280 metres from Mona Vale Beach, the development has been designed to maximise panoramic ocean views while responding to the site's sloping topography.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/inca-property-group">Inca Property Group</a> Managing Director Josh Thompson said the State Significant pathway provided greater certainty for projects of this scale.

"This State Significant pathway gives the team real certainty to progress <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/dawn-35-39-darley-street-east-mona-vale-nsw-2103">Dawn</a> through to completion," Thompson said.

"It allows us to acquire a one-off site, design it carefully and deliver the right offering for the suburb, assessed by the NSW Government's planning department."

The project is one of the first developments in the area to be assessed under the NSW Government's Low and Mid-Rise Housing policy, with the site sitting on the edge of the policy's designated inner area.

The proposal includes three basement levels providing 124 car spaces, alongside a range of resident amenities including a swimming pool, gym, sauna, wellness facilities and private plunge pools for selected ground-floor and penthouse apartments.

<img alt="Dawn" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fc1a1daf-0ce4-4f12-9076-b1fa553c7a91" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-21%20at%208.42.11%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4GZ9h.gpNkTljbxyAET8Jfhv51XUamDm" />

Thompson said Dawn had been designed specifically for owner-occupiers and downsizers, a buyer profile that has driven demand across Inca's recent Upper North Shore developments.

"The majority of buyers in our recent North Shore projects have been downsizers, and we are learning exactly what this market is looking for. Beyond the location itself, we have included resort-style amenities to deliver a genuine lifestyle offering," Thompson said.

Located within walking distance of Mona Vale Beach, the town centre, Mona Vale Golf Club and the Royal Motor Yacht Club, Dawn represents Inca's first Northern Beaches project following the sell-out of Tara on Park in Waitara and Ellis Residences, currently under construction in St Ives.

Construction will be undertaken by Inca's in-house construction arm, GOP Constructions.

Dawn is the latest major apartment proposal for Mona Vale, with the suburb emerging as one of the key beneficiaries of the NSW Government's new Low and Mid-Rise Housing policy.

New developer One Living, led by industry veteran Joseph Scuderi, recently secured a site on Mona Vale Road, on the border of Mona Vale and Pymble, where it is planning around 140 apartments.

IPM is also planning its third project in Mona Vale, significantly increasing the scale of its previous developments with an 82-apartment proposal at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/159-167-darley-street-west-mona-vale-nsw-2103">159-167 Darley Street West</a>, opposite Bayview Golf Course and less than 800 metres from Mona Vale town centre.

Seasoned Victorian apartment developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/central-equity">Central Equity</a> has logged more than $400 million in sales in its luxury apartment project Palmera Residences at Northcliffe on the Gold Coast.&nbsp;

Central Equity Director Karl Kutner said the sales result reflected a combination of location, product quality and delivery certainty with the project already under construction by building powerhouse Multiplex.&nbsp;

"Surpassing $400 million in sales since launch is a significant milestone and an outstanding endorsement of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/palmera-residences-gold-coast-18-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Palmera Residences</a>,” he said.&nbsp;

"We believe one of the key reasons for this strong result is the confidence purchasers have in knowing the project is under construction with Multiplex. Buyers are increasingly looking for certainty. They want to know that the project they commit to today will be delivered by an experienced team with a proven track record."&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365782]

Kutner said it was clear there was still high demand for luxury projects that offered certainty of delivery.&nbsp;

“We are in a market where many residential developments have faced delays due to rising construction costs, labour shortages and financing challenges,” said Kutner.&nbsp;

"But having construction underway has provided our buyers with resounding confidence backed by more than 40 years of development delivery by Central Equity combined with construction by one of Australia's most respected construction companies."&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365785]

Central Equity is one of Australia's most experienced privately-owned property developers. Over more than four decades, the company has delivered in excess of 85 residential developments including 10,000 apartments and many thousands of stand alone homes.&nbsp;

Located on Garfield Terrace at Northcliffe, between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach, Palmera Residences occupies one of the Gold Coast's most sought after beachside locations. The development has been designed to appeal to owner occupiers seeking premium residences that combine generous living spaces and resort style amenities.&nbsp;

Palmera Residences will feature an exceptional collection of resort style amenities, including two swimming pools: a generously sized family pool with safe shallow zones for relaxed recreation, and a 20 metre lap pool positioned to maximise all day sunlight.&nbsp;

Residents will also enjoy exclusive access to wellness and recreational facilities including a magnesium pool, sauna, yoga studio, expansive fitted gymnasium, resident lounge, outdoor BBQ’s&nbsp;and indoor and outdoor dining areas, together with a dedicated concierge and luxurious hotel inspired entrance foyer.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365767]

A unique feature at Palmera Residences has been designed to enhance the Gold Coast lifestyle which includes both indoor and outdoor gymnasium facilities, together with thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor dining and entertaining areas. A corner café has also been incorporated to provide residents with a destination for their everyday needs.&nbsp;

Kutner said buyer demand had been broad based with purchasers attracted from interstate as well as throughout South East Queensland.&nbsp;

"We're seeing strong interest from owner occupiers, lifestyle buyers and people relocating to the Gold Coast. Many purchasers have been searching for a premium beachside residence where quality, design and delivery are equally important."&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365771]

Kutner said the sales milestone was an important achievement, but the focus remained firmly on delivering an exceptional development.&nbsp;

"While reaching $400 million in sales is an important milestone, our priority remains delivering a project that exceeds purchaser expectations,” he said.&nbsp;

"Palmera Residences has been designed to become one of the Gold Coast's landmark residential addresses, and we look forward to welcoming our purchasers to their new homes."&nbsp;

There are a limited number of residences remaining in selected configurations with pricing from $2,950,000 to $8,950,000. Palmera Residences is also crowned by expansive penthouses with wrap around views.

Construction certainty and strong buyer demand drive major sales result for luxury Gold Coast development

Palmera Residences fly out the door as sales pass $400 million

National property developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/goldfields-group">Goldfields</a> has appointed BINAH as its construction partner for Quartet, its new Brisbane apartment development in the undersupplied suburb of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/milton-qld-4064">Milton</a>.

Located just two kilometres from the Brisbane CBD and moments from key 2032 Olympic precincts, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/quartet-milton-33-manning-street-milton-qld-4064">Quartet</a> will deliver 131 one, two, three, and four-bedroom apartments priced from $1 million to $4.2 million, combining elevated design with a wellness-focused lifestyle offering.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=368000]

Goldfields’ Chief Executive Officer, Lachlan Thompson, said the appointment of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/binah-constructions">BINAH</a> marked an important milestone for the project.&nbsp;

“Bringing BINAH on board as our construction partner will allow us to bring our vision for Quartet forward with a team that has a proven track record of delivering high-quality residential projects,” Thompson said.&nbsp;

“We’ve taken a considered approach to progressing the site because we wanted to deliver the whole package. Buyers ultimately back great developers, great projects and great builders, and with Quartet, we’ve made sure all three line up.

“People want certainty, they want to know the project will be built, that the homes will be delivered as promised, and that the developer stands behind the quality of what they create. That’s something Goldfields has built its reputation on over many years.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=367993]

BINAH’s Managing Director, Khalil Hafza, said the company was proud to be partnering with Goldfields to deliver Quartet.&nbsp;

“Quartet is an exciting project to bring to life, particularly given the level of detail in the residences and the extensive rooftop amenity planned for the building,” Mr Hafza said.&nbsp;

“Our focus is on delivering a high-quality build that brings that design vision to life and creates homes residents will enjoy for many years.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=367999]

The facilities at Quartet have been feared towards the roof, with a&nbsp;25 metre lap pool, spa, sauna and cold plunge, and a communal barbecue area and alfresco.

Town planning was designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> and brought to life by Melbourne-based architecture firm Cera Stribley.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/cera-stribley">Cera Stribley</a> Co-Founder and Managing Principal, Dom Cerantonio, said the project responds to both its riverside setting and Brisbane’s evolving urban character.&nbsp;

“Quartet has been designed to sit comfortably within its riverside context, offering a refined take on urban living through well-planned, generously proportioned residences that will stand the test of time,” Mr Cerantonio said.&nbsp;

“An emphasis on natural light, natural textures and carefully selected finishes from timber and marble to premium appliances, creates calm, considered interiors designed for comfort and long-term liveability.”&nbsp;

Construction of Quartet will commence in July 2026, with completion anticipated in Q4 2028.

Construction to commence on 131-residence tower designed around wellness-focused living

Goldfields appoints BINAH for Quartet apartments in Milton

The first partnership between national developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/fortis">Fortis</a> and Adelaide-based developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/otello">Otello</a> has made a strong start, with the pair securing $21 million in unconditional sales at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/one-four-four-hutt-adelaide-144-hutt-street-adelaide-sa-5000">One Four Four Hutt</a>&nbsp;on the edge of the Adelaide CBD.

Over a third of apartments have been snapped up in the boutique 44-apartment project on the corner of Hutt Stret and Wakefield Road. Local downsizers and owner-occupiers wanting to remain in Adelaide's tightly-held southeast quarter have been the most prominent purchasers.

The DKO-designed, mixed-use development is one of the few new apartment projects in the precinct, an area where new housing supply has remained limited despite continued demand from buyers wanting to stay close to the CBD, Victoria Park and Adelaide's established east-end amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151233 project_image_fid=375378]

Fortis Head of Development SA Arthur Dendrinos said the early sales reflected both the strength of the local owner-occupier market and confidence in the Hutt Street location.

"The level of early commitment reflects the confidence local buyers have in the Hutt Street precinct," Dendrinos said.

"Many purchasers are long-term east-end residents who love the area and want to stay connected to the neighbourhood. They recognise the value of a well-designed, well-located development.

"Our partnership with Otello has been central to this success, and the number of unconditional sales at this stage only strengthens our confidence in the South Australian market."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151233 project_image_fid=375379]

Otello Director Daniel Harris said the sales result also highlighted the lack of new apartment opportunities within the Hutt Street precinct.

"One Four Four Hutt has clearly resonated with buyers, with strong early sales reflecting both the appeal of the Hutt Street corridor and the lifestyle on offer," Harris said.

"The activated ground-floor retail has also been a key drawcard, with purchasers responding to the vision of a more vibrant and connected streetscape, not just the residences themselves."

One Four Four Hutt will deliver 44 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, alongside a collection of penthouses, above a ground-floor retail offering designed to further activate the Hutt Street precinct.

Construction is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of this year, with completion anticipated in 2028.

Fortis Head of Development SA Arthur Dendrinos said the early sales reflected both the strength of the local owner-occupier market and confidence in the Hutt Street location.
