The exclusive Point Piper development, Piper, a rare new development in Australia&#39;s most affluent suburb, has been a hit with buyers all over Sydney.

The project, a collaboration between two prominent eastern suburbs developers&nbsp;Fortis and Dare, has flown through the 50 per cent sold mark in just a few months, having launched the boutique collection of just 15 residences at the back end of March.

CBRE Residential Projects head&nbsp;Ben Stewart said&nbsp;they were seeing buyer enquiry coming in from everywhere from the inner west and lower north shore, with locals from Vaucluse and Dover Heights also showing keen interest.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6126 project_image_fid=191994]

There was even a sale to a soon-to-be downsizing owner-occupier from Point Piper&#39;s exclusive Wolseley Road, who were looking for something brand new.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s really evident how well the apartments match up to what downsizers are looking for, both in size and their finish,&quot; Stewart says.

&quot;The apartments on offer&nbsp;a great size, anywhere from&nbsp;200 sqm to 250 sqm internal, while also still incorporating a few special features, such as some feature a swimming pool, or big gardens,&quot; Stewart added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6126 project_image_fid=199320]

&quot;The apartments are beautifully appointed with very high-level finishes, and a number of enticing factors that are turning people toward Piper.&quot;&nbsp;

Sharing its postcode with some of Australia&rsquo;s most prestigious and historic homes, Piper delivers on its vision with interiors by leading interior design studio, Mim Design, and acclaimed landscape architects, Dangar Barin Smith.

Inspired by the intimacy and grandeur of a private estate, Piper delivers a mix of two, three and four-bedroom apartments across the four-level building.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6126 project_image_fid=199321]

Each apartments features soaring ceiling, open layouts and large living, entertaining and outdoor areas, with some even including their own private pool.

Stewart says the latest interest rate movements haven&#39;t put buyers off, in fact, it&#39;s been the opposite.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6126 project_image_fid=191996]

&quot;Those buyers who are looking at an of​f the plan property,&nbsp;particularly those not due to be complete for another few years, haven&#39;t shown too much concern about the current interest rate hikes,&quot; Stewart says.

&quot;Where for the last six to 12 months we&#39;ve seen people locking in interest rates, we&#39;re now seeing people jumping into the off the pl​an market, hedging their bets that rates will be coming back down in 18 months or so when projects come up for completion.&quot;

Stewart also says buyers are believing now is the right time to move into the apartment space, with the price gap between houses and apartments at record highs.

Buyers come from all over Sydney to take Piper to 50% sold

The prominent Sydney building development firm TOGA has quietly seen success at its recently launched eastern suburbs apartment project, The Kensington.

Having launched earlier this year, TOGA has sold around 25 per cent of the building, without a big song and dance of the project launching.

TOGA&#39;s General Manager of Sales Anthony Falas says the days of long lines of prospective buyers queuing up outside the display suite to get the first chance to buy an apartment might be gone, but that&#39;s not to say sales success isn&#39;t being secured.

The majority of buyers have been locals, either those looking to downsize and stay in the area, or professionals at nearby hospitals or universities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110959 project_image_fid=199276]

TOGA has seen exactly what they thought they&#39;d see pre-launch, which Falas says is a testament to the team and the research they undertook while in the design and development phase.

And a testament to TOGA&#39;s research in the design and development phase, having spoken with the team when the project application was lodged back in January, TOGA have seen&nbsp;exactly what they&#39;d expected in terms of sales and demographics.

&quot;It means we&#39;ve done our research and understand the audience of the market we&#39;re entering,&quot; Falas says.

&quot;We&#39;ve dedicated over 75 per cent of the building to the two and three-bedroom product, offering something that is rare for&nbsp;the area.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110959 project_image_fid=199277]

Falas added that TOGA wanted to cater for a different market than the area is used to, going away from the more common developments which are targeted at the&nbsp;student accomodation given the proximity to the UNSW Randwick Campus.

They changed the mix slightly knowing there were a number of student accomodation buildings in the local area both established and soon to be under construction.

What did surprise Falas&nbsp;however was at how much of the top-end stock in the development went first.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110959 project_image_fid=199278]

&quot;The sales of the bigger apartments, upward of around $1.9 million and $2 million, have been among some of the most popular, which is a sign that the current interest rate climate isn&#39;t dampening buyer demand at the top end of the off the plan market if you&#39;re a reputable developer where buyers have confidence in your product.&quot;

On interest rates, Falas says buyers haven&#39;t been overly concerned with rate rises. The off the plan market offers a different prospect to buyers compared&nbsp;the established market, given purchasers are not&nbsp;beholden&nbsp;to starting mortgage repayments until the project is completed. And for Kensington, that&#39;s expected to be over two and a half years away.

&quot;We&#39;re not expecting The Kensington to be completed until the end of 2024, so the current interest rate movements won&#39;t affect an off the plan purchaser until they settle, and by that time forecasts suggest rates won&#39;t be rising as sharply as they are now,&quot; Falas says.

&quot;Remember, we&#39;re still in an incredibly low interest rate environment, and while current home owners or buyers on variable rates will be seeing their rates go up to repayments they haven&#39;t seen before, we are still at a very low base. New mortgage holders won&#39;t quite&nbsp;feel that&nbsp;same impact as current mortgage holders who have been living in the lowest interest rate environment&nbsp;Australia has seen.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110959 project_image_fid=199275]

TOGA has managed to swerve some of the construction pitfalls which have been damaging the development industry given they also build their project, although Falas says there were, and still are, a few hurdles to overcome.

&ldquo;Labour costs, costs to procure, they&rsquo;ve all risen, but we&rsquo;ve pulled a few levers to help ease the rising rates such as direct sourcing our materials,&quot; Falas noted.

But he stressed there&#39;s no cutting corners in the development, and certainly not in the finishes on offer.

The Kensington features full marble kitchens and marble and stone bathrooms, with the interiors designed by Richards Stanisich, who worked in collaboration with&nbsp;architects&nbsp;Turner Studio, who also designed TOGA&#39;s Wicks Place in Marrickville.&nbsp;

TOGA see success following The Kensington apartment launch

The ever-busy Broadbeach has seen another development application lodged for a residential tower, the third in a week following two by Morris Property Group.

Platinum Investments Pty Ltd, a Sydney-based developer, had Design Vibe draw up the plans for a 40-level tower&nbsp;2797 Gold Coast Highway, on the corner of First Avenue.

It sits on a 1,201 sqm block that was secured earlier this year for $4.3 million.

The tower will&nbsp;home 113 apartments, with a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments, in addition to one five-bedroom penthouse.&nbsp;

<a href="/new-apartments/2797-gold-coast-highway-broadbeach"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="908" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-10_at_9.36.29_am.png" width="1672" /></a>

A communal open space will be located within level four and the adjoining mezzanine, along with a small food and drink outlet situated on the ground floor.

The level four space is set to include a pool and pool deck, lounges, gym, yoga lawn, and dining facilities, all set amongst lush, green landscaping. The mezzanine level of level four will also be home to a sky lounge, with dining and transitional spaces.

Extensive open space areas are located to the south of the site, including Platell Park and the Cascade Gardens, offering a riverside park with picnic and play areas. Additionally, Broadbeach Park also known as Nikiforides Family Park, and the Broadbeach Bowls Club are to the south of the site, along with sitting&nbsp;within walking distance to the Florida Gardens light rail station.&nbsp;

Taking on a tall and slender form, the distinctive architectural character is embellished further through the landscape design, both at ground level and structured through the podium levels.&nbsp;

<a href="/new-apartments/2797-gold-coast-highway-broadbeach"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="870" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-10_at_9.36.17_am.png" width="1500" /></a>

Crowning the tower will be the five-bedroom penthouse, which is set to be laid out across three-levels. The ground floor of the space follows an open-plan layout, spanning half a floor. That will open to&nbsp;a&nbsp;balcony which will feature a plunge pool, gazebo, and dining facilities.

Also on this level is a guest bedroom with an ensuite, study, and media room, as well as the main living, kitchen and dining space.

<a href="/new-apartments/2797-gold-coast-highway-broadbeach"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="920" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-10_at_9.36.43_am.png" width="1600" /></a>

The third level of the penthouse is home to the master bedroom, which encompasses the entire level. A generous balcony wraps around the floor, accompanying a massive ensuite and walk-in-robe space.

Level two of the penthouse will consist of three-bedrooms, each with their own ensuite and walk-in-robe. An east-facing balcony is&nbsp;accessed from the rumpus space&nbsp;which separates the bedrooms.

Kirra Beach has firmly put itself among the likes of Noosa and Byron Bay as an iconic destination on Australia's east coast, with the trio celebrated for their rare north-facing beaches and clear turquoise waters.

Albeit adored by locals for a number of years before the recent wave of interest, Kirra has quickly become the most sought-after locale on the southern Gold Coast, with a vibrant village atmosphere, plethora of cafes, restaurants, and world-renowned surf breaks.&nbsp;

There's seldom an opportunity to capture the lifestyle on a permanent basis, though prominent Gold Coast developer, Marquee Development Partners, are offering the chance to buy on&nbsp;one of the last beachfront sites.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112210 project_image_fid=198839]

The project, named Monterey, offers a collection of north-facing, ultra-wide three, four and five-bedroom residences and&nbsp;penthouses with panoramic views over the Pacific Ocean from Snapper Rocks to the Surfers Paradise skyline.&nbsp;&nbsp;

After several record sellouts along the coast, this will be Marquee Development Partners' 10th and most prestigious project to date.

Marquee Sales Manager Azura Griffen said that with an exceptional, ultra-wide, north-facing beachfront site within one of the Gold Coast's most coveted locations, they knew they had to partner with the right architect to deliver on our vision of true authentic coastal luxury.

"After an extensive review process, we partnered with the award-winning Ellivo – an innovative architecture firm renowned for their iconic designs,"&nbsp;Griffen said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112210 project_image_fid=198836]

Designed exclusively for owner occupiers, there will be just 35 residences across 14 levels of smooth, fluid design inspired by the stunning natural landscapes surrounding."

With only three residences per floor, all have been designed to overlook the beach &amp; provide stunning vantage points from multiple rooms.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Ellivo Architects Director Mason Cowle said they knew the project was a rare opportunity to create something truly iconic.

"With such an extensive north-facing beach frontage and&nbsp;panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean &amp; entire Gold Coast coastline - there is no comparison," Cowle said.

"The result is an incredible design without compromise."

On the Gold Coast beachfront, you either enjoy views out over the Pacific Ocean to Snapper Rocks or back along the coastline towards Surfers Paradise. Due to Monterey's unique positioning on a north-facing bend of the coastline, residents will be some of the rare few to enjoy both.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="400" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/monterey_panning_gif_0.gif" width="600" />

"With the largest expanse of beach frontage on the southern Gold Coast, each residence benefits from a north-facing position &amp; has been designed to capture the breathtaking panoramas, whether you're in your kitchen, living space, or master bedroom,"&nbsp;Griffen added.

"To ensure we did this project justice, we've used premium finishes throughout, including Tongue N Groove flooring, premium Miele appliances, 50mm stone benchtops and&nbsp;so much more."

As with every Marquee community, residents will have exclusive access to&nbsp;a curated selection of resort-style amenity, with Monterey taking inspiration from Mykonos &amp; the Greek Islands - utilizing natural stone &amp; archways as a key highlight.

The ground floor of Monterey will feature a heated swimming pool oasis accompanied by poolside cabanas, an outdoor spa, and a European-style sauna. But, of course, they've also planned for the avid surfer and beach go-er, with an outdoor beach shower and surfboard wash station available.

On the second level, residents will enjoy a state-of-the-art gym overlooking the ocean, a yoga lawn, and a resident's bar with a billiards lounge.

Marquee has catered for the busy business owner or executive with a private full office suite – complete with the latest in AV technology, printing station, and more.&nbsp;

Monterey is Marquee's 10th development on the Gold Coast in the last four years and second in Kirra.&nbsp;

Their most recent sellout was around the corner at SOL Kirra Beach. That followed sellouts at Palm Beach Residences and Northshore, both at Palm Beach, and Cannes Waterfront, One Cannes, and Shoreline, all located between Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=112210]

With spacious and ultra-wide residences set on one of the last remaining beachfront sites in the highly sought-after Kirra pocket on the southern Gold Coast, Monterey Kirra Beach offers a rare opportunity that may never be repeated.

The longstanding development and construction company, Morris Property Group, continues to add to their development pipeline, lodging two applications for residential projects in the in demand Broadbeach.

Veteran developer Barry Morris says the Gold Coast has seen several DA’s lodged in the past six to 12&nbsp;months, especially in Broadbeach.

"Buyers love Broadbeach because it, offers beachside living with metropolitan amenities, which is what the market is after," Morris says.

One of the newly lodged projects, at 22 Chelsea Avenue, is just a few doors down from their newly complete and sold out Opus project.

That will target the owner-occupier, with just 18 three-bedroom apartments across the 20-level tower.

The second level will home the recreation and will feature a barbecue&nbsp;area with outdoor dining, gym and pool. The space will provide an outlook towards Broadbeach Park and maximise northern sunlight.

The Queensland-based architecture firm&nbsp;Burling Brown designed 22 Chelsea Avenue, noting in their design statement that the small tower footprint and orientation of the building&nbsp;will result in a slender tower profile as viewed from the north, where the building will be most visually prominent.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="2160" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/mpg02_render_4_a.jpg" width="3840" />

"The design incorporates strong and distinct angular edges that articulate the form," the statement noted.&nbsp;

"The use of a light and dark colour scheme and the inclusion of vertical elements up the western elevation produce a high quality and contemporary design."

Burling Brown also designed the other tower at&nbsp;2739 Gold Coast Highway, cleverly designed to have all 48 apartments face north. There will just be two-bedroom apartments in the building, three per floor.

The design of the building illustrates a contemporary look utilising a natural material palette to help complement the area and Broadbeach streetscape.

MPG now have&nbsp;four Broadbeach projects in the pipeline and one in Burleigh Heads. They're also set to be&nbsp;launching Essentia in Surfers Paradise in the coming weeks, which offers one and two-bedroom stock.

"This will be a great opportunity for us to receive some market data and get ourselves back in the selling game, preparing us for the many upcoming project launches," Morris added.

MPG currently has two residential projects under construction Sandbar Burleigh Heads which has limited stock remaining, as well&nbsp;as a new commercial building Mermaid Plaza, in Mermaid Beach.

The Brisbane-based Cielo Group is continuing to pad out its Bilinga footprint on the southern end of the Gold Coast.

Cielo&nbsp;Group,&nbsp;led by Justin O'Donnell and Azemm Dannaoui, recently launched Bloom, a collection of nine whole floor apartments on Golden Four Drive.

Now they've lodged plans for a similarly boutique project at 90-92 Pacific Parade, just 400 metres up the road. This one however is on the prized beachside.&nbsp;

They've again had Z Architects, their go-to architecture firm in now both Brisbane and the Gold Coast, draw up the plans for the latest project, which will see 19 apartments created across a nine-level building.

There will be just three apartments per floor for for the first three levels, before the tower becomes two half-floor apartments, spanning between&nbsp;180 sqm internal to 248 sqm.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="1008" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-07_at_12.12.11_pm.png" width="1828" />

The eighth level will home a full floor penthouse, with a huge 487 sqm of living space with three bedrooms, three living areas, and a multipurpose area.

The roof will be communal, and will feature a gym, dining room, pool, and pool terrace.

The town planning documents noted&nbsp;that the rooftop adopts a high-quality architectural style, with significant articulation, building recesses, modulation, as well as the use of variation of materials and finishes to present as development with high aesthetic value

"The area is characterised by a range of older buildings amongst new mid-rise developments with an emerging built form character of increased intensity within the streetscape," the report noted.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="1042" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-07_at_12.12.22_pm.png" width="1856" />

"The area has established street trees and mature Norfolk Pine trees that define the distinct coastal character and assist to balance the built form, provide landscape buffers and pedestrian friendly streets."

Two original houses currently sit on the 1,012 sqm site. They will be demolished to make way for the project.

Just behind the site at 89-91 Golden Four Drive, Sydney-based developer Farshad Amirbeaggi is seeking to create the highest density project in the area. He recently submitted plans for a nine-level, 81-apartment building on 2,024 sqm.

There's 71 two-bed apartments proposed and 10 three-bedroom units, as well as 103 parking spaces and 46 bicycle spaces.

Cielo Group to produce more luxury at Bilinga

The luxury home builder and now residential apartment developer, Graya, has been given the green light to push on with its second high-end residential project in Brisbane&#39;s inner-ring.

They&#39;ll soon be launching Canvas, a collection of just 21 two, three and four-bedroom apartments in the sought-after riverfront suburb of Bulimba.

Speaking recently to Urban, Rob Gray, who with brother Andrew founded Graya in 2013, said they were attracted to the&nbsp;Love Street site given its proximity to the Oxford Street lifestyle precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112020 project_image_fid=198790]

Gray said the three-level zoning allowed them to create something&nbsp;more affordable than what they usually create in the trophy home space.

&quot;We saw value in being able to bring something to what is one of Brisbane&#39;s top suburbs without pricing out the majority of the market as we do in the single home space,&quot; Gray said.

&quot;Most GRAYA supporters now have a change to own one for themselves.&quot;

Canvas will home a rooftop amenity level with the standout feature the infinity pool and spa. The rooftop offers&nbsp;views back to the Brisbane CBD.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112020 project_image_fid=198792]

Graya has a long-line of prestige home builds to their name, setting a number of street and suburb records in the last few years.

But the move to multi-res was on the cards from day one.

&quot;We always wanted to go into multi-res, it was just a case of timing,&quot; Gray said. The team have been building around 12 luxury houses a year in some of Brisbane&#39;s best suburbs.

Their first multi-res project, Maison in New Farm, was just five luxury full-floor apartments that all sold off th​e plan with an average price of $3.2 million, with sales ranging between $2.8 million and $4.3 million.

Gray says&nbsp;buyers at Canvas should have confidence in the resale value of the Graya product.&nbsp;A Maison apartment that sold off th​e plan for $2.9 million in 2020 resold earlier this year for $5 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112020 project_image_fid=198793]

Gray&nbsp;adds that, in the current uncertain times regarding&nbsp;the problematic construction industry, those developers who also build their project, are ultimately going to deliver.

&quot;There will be a real shortage of supply in the coming years, with developers who also build not facing the same types of challenges of those having to hire an external company to construct the project,&quot; Gray suggested.

&quot;There&#39;s also the fact that as a developer and builder, it&#39;s our job to think about every facet of the development. Sometimes when the developer isn&#39;t the builder, details can be missed.&quot;

They had bureau^proberts design&nbsp;Canvas, with the&nbsp;brief to create Graya homes in the sky and&nbsp;create the best unit block in the suburb..

&quot;Bureau^proberts stood out for us having nailed the luxury owner-occupier stock,&quot; Gray said, adding that their last 10 designs, which included Glasshouse, Thornton Residences, Cala Dei and Natura, have been very successful.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112020 project_image_fid=198804]

Graya&#39;s longstanding reputation has seen them field a number of enquiries from either past clients, or friends of past clients, who know the Graya brand and have seen first hand what they&#39;ve produced over the years.

The name Canvas derives from the art world.

&quot;We try to make every project like a work of art,&quot; Gray said, adding that the facade of Canvas was so unique, and some of the intricate details they have brought into the rest of the building, that the&nbsp;word Canvas was an apt name for the project.

Motiv&#39;s Carly Cottam will be handling the sales of Canvas, with launch expected in late June.

Exclusive: GRAYA get green light for Canvas, luxury Bulimba apartments

The Brisbane-based property developer, Habitat Development Group, are continuing to bulk up their pipeline in Maroochydore, the central hub of the Sunshine Coast.

Fresh off the launch of their latest project, The Corso, Habitat has filed a development application for the 201-apartment The Millwell, in the heart of Maroochydore next to the Sunshine Plaza Shopping Centre.

There will be two, three and four-bedroom apartments across two eight-level towers, each with ground floor retail or commercial spaces.

Habitat Development Group Managing Director Cleighton Clark said the proposed $161m development would include significant resident amenity such as a resort pool and resident&rsquo;s terrace including BBQ areas, lush landscaping and resident&rsquo;s dining rooms.

<a href="/new-apartments/the-millwell-2-millwell-road-east-maroochydore"><img alt="" height="1192" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-06_at_4.17.54_pm.png" width="2150" /></a>

&ldquo;Following on from the sell-out success of our Market Lane Residences&nbsp;development and the recent launch of The Corso Collection in the Maroochydore CBD, we are excited to have the opportunity to be adding another iconic project to the Maroochydore skyline,&quot; Clark said.

&ldquo;We think it&rsquo;s a terrific location. It&rsquo;s nestled directly adjacent to the Sunshine Plaza, with 200m frontage to Cornmeal Creek and walking distance to the rapidly expanding Maroochydore CBD.&nbsp;

<a href="/new-apartments/the-millwell-2-millwell-road-east-maroochydore"><img alt="" height="1176" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-06_at_4.17.15_pm.png" width="2142" /></a>

Habitat have had their go-to architecture firm, K Architecture, draw up the plans.

Clark said both sides of the building will have great aspects north and south.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve been building on the Sunshine Coast for the past 17 years and have witnessed property in the region go from strength to strength, particularly the last two years,&quot; Clark added.

&quot;Rental vacancy rates are at a historical low and consistently below those of other regional and metropolitan areas in South East Queensland. Our sales rates continue to be very healthy and The Millwell provides us another opportunity to meet the demands of the growing region.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

<a href="/new-apartments/the-millwell-2-millwell-road-east-maroochydore"><img alt="" height="1210" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-06_at_4.17.30_pm.png" width="1844" /></a>

&ldquo;We currently have a number of projects finishing construction in the Maroochydore CBD and in Sippy Downs, with more commencing later this year. These projects have all proven to be hugely appealing to both owner occupiers and investors alike and we are expecting the current high levels of market interest to follow through to The Millwell.&rdquo;.

Clark said he looked forward to being able to continue supporting local industry.

&ldquo;With so many unfortunate headlines in the media lately, we look forward to being able to support in excess of 400 workers on site during the construction phase. We enjoy long standing relationships with many local trades and&nbsp;suppliers and we look forward to continuing these relationships as well as creating new employment opportunities with this project.&quot;

Habitat is also waiting for approval on its St Claire, a 200-apartment project&nbsp;in Birtinya.

Tugun, the small enclave in the southern Gold Coast just north of Bilinga, is set to welcome an impressive collection of beach villas.

Chapter Two Group and Kingbella, who have most recently worked together on a similar project, Callista in Palm Beach, are behind The Eden Collection, just five home-sized luxury villas directly adjacent to Kropp Park nature reserve.

There will be three and four-bedroom configurations on offer, with each villa featuring a number of living zones across their three levels.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109904 project_image_fid=197975]

Chapter Two Director Jon Quayle says The Eden Collection is quintessentially Tugun.

&ldquo;Tugun is one of only a few suburbs on the Gold Coast that still retains its coastal charm of yesteryear&rdquo;, Quayle said.

&quot;Low-rise modern-day beach houses, fronting on to a nature reserve, and only 250 metres in each direction to Cornerstone Stores, Tugun Market Co, and of course the famous sands of Tugun beach&rdquo;.

Kingbella Director, Laura Percey, says Eden&rsquo;s design was inspired by the earthy palette of its surroundings, from sand to stone to sunlight glistening on the water.

&ldquo;Each villa features polished concrete floors, premium timber joinery, exquisite stone benchtops, multiple living areas to unwind, bespoke tapware and high-end Miele appliances that boast both function and&nbsp;form,&rdquo; Percey said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109904 project_image_fid=197971]

C2 Architecture and Louise Walsh interiors, who were the team behind Callista Palm Beach, are behind The Eden Collection design.

CBRE Residential Projects Senior Director, Nicholas Clydsdale, said that demand for luxury townhouses was only going to increase on the Gold Coast in the coming years, particularly in blue- chip suburbs such as Tugun.

&ldquo;It is extremely rare for a new development to occur in this tightly held beachside enclave, yet the buyer demand is continuing to increase on the back of burgeoning population growth&rdquo;,&nbsp;Clydsdale said.

&ldquo;New development sites in quality locations are more and more difficult to come by. The tranquil location of Eden, fronting north over a stunning natural reserve is a dream location for a southern Gold Coast buyer. Add to that its strolling distance to Currumbin and Tugun shops and beaches only adds to its allure and rarity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109904 project_image_fid=197969]

Clydsdale says there&nbsp;have been several recent sales in Tugun and Currumbin surrounding The Eden Collection in the $4 million&nbsp;plus range which has reset pricing for the area.

&quot;We are seeing more and more owners looking to enter the Tugun market who want high-quality, low maintenance living, without having to compromise on space or privacy. The Eden Collection caters for this large portion of buyers who are looking to secure their own piece of Tugun for generations to come.&rdquo;

Pricing for The Eden Collection starts from $2,299,000.

The Eden Collection villas launch in hot Tugun market

Development around Castle Hill&#39;s Showground Precinct is continuing to gather steam.

The latest plans are from the Sydney developer Landmark Group, who are plotting a $28 million, 100-apartment project across&nbsp;16-18&nbsp;Partridge Avenue and 21-23 Middleton Avenue, Castle Hill.

The apartments will be&nbsp;spread across two seven-level buildings designed by DKO. Half have been reserved for affordable housing.

The U-shaped building form will address&nbsp;both adjacent streets and embraces a northern oriented central communal open space, the planning documents note. It has been designed as an integrated and cohesive built form outcome.

&quot;The proposed distribution of built form and massing of the buildings across the site is the result of a considered analysis of the context of the site and the desire to deliver a positive urban design outcome that is consistent with the desired future character for the site and the Showground Station precinct generally,&quot; the submission by Sutherland &amp; Associates Planning noted.

<a href="/new-apartments/16-partridge-avenue-castle-hill"><img alt="" height="278" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-05-26_at_9.12.11_am.png" width="527" /></a>

&quot;The proposal is a high quality transit orientated development that will provide housing choice, and importantly affordable housing, in a location that enjoys exceptional access to the forthcoming Showground Train Station and employment opportunities within the Showground Precinct and wider Sydney area.&quot;

The Showground Station Priority Precinct was announced by the NSW Government in 2014 to maximise the use of the Sydney Metro Northwest which is being delivered as part of the North West Growth Area.

The Showground Station Precinct was rezoned in December 2017 and is forecast to deliver approximately 9,000 new homes and 2,300 jobs over the next 20 years, transforming the area around Showground Station into a vibrant local centre and contributing to Castle Hill as a strategic centre.

Castle Island, by KWG Property, is one of the most recent projects to launch in the Showground Precinct.

The $300 million project&nbsp;comprises 295 apartments spread across seven buildings near the new Showgrounds town centre. Inspired by nature, Castle Island is the work of local architectural firm, Giles Tribe, and two international architects, Hong Kong&rsquo;s ARVA Architects and DLN Architects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112005 project_image_fid=191246]

CBD Core has also <a href="/news/nsw/cbd-core-bulk-up-2022-castle-hill-apartment-pipeline-with-latest-plans">recently filed for 67 apartments in the precinct.&nbsp;</a>

The low-rise towers, dubbed Ashford and Partridge&nbsp;for their locations&nbsp;fronting&nbsp;Ashford Avenue and Partridge Avenue, will rise six levels and will be home a mix of&nbsp;two studio apartments, 11 one-bedroom apartments, 39 two-bedders, 15 three-bedroom apartments.

A render of the new plans by CBD Core

CBD Core saw success with their Oriel project in the area, and are soon to launch Astrid, a block of 94 apartments just behind Oriel.

Astrid will feature&nbsp;extensive work from home facilities, with a conscious effort to create both indoor and outdoor communal spaces, outside of the apartments so those working from home have the option to still be away from where they reside. Residents will also have access to the a gym, swimming pool, and a rooftop with barbecues and seating spaces.

A local developer is also <a href="/news/nsw/castle-hill-set-for-94-million-apartment-development-in-the-showground-station-precinct">seeking to create 255 apartments across five buildings</a> at&nbsp;7-23 Cadman Crescent and 18-24 Hughes Avenue,&nbsp;centred around a courtyard with extensive landscaping, greenery, and a natural pool with waterfall.

<img alt="" height="373" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/castle_hill_mhndu_4.jpeg" width="662" />

MHNDU associate Amanda Stollery took the lead of the design of the Cadman Crescent project,&nbsp;noting in the design verification statement that the&nbsp;proposal seeks to provide a seamlessly integrated residential community facilitating population growth in areas of transition.

&quot;Situated in a revitalising precinct, this proposal seeks to provide a seamlessly integrated residential community facilitating population growth in areas of transition and high density,&quot; the statement read.

The apartments will be spread across two seven-level buildings designed by DKO. Half have been reserved for affordable housing

Castle Hill Showground Precinct development continues with new Landmark apartment plans

<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.

Renders shown are Artist's Impressions correct as of May 2026.

Heritage-led design anchors Far East Consortium’s 640 Bourke St, Melbourne

<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.

MAYD Group sets Queensland record with $30 million penthouse sale at ONE Burleigh in Burleigh Heads

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.
