There are just five townhomes available in Filmore Terraces collection, which are already well under construction.

They will be a short walk to the completed&nbsp;Highlands Shopping Centre in the award-winning estate, which is already home to over 11,000 families.

The townhouses, which are all priced from $549,000, each have different floorplans, ranging from over 180 sqm of internal living space to over 200 sqm.

Each will have four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a garage parking space. The townhouses offered by Stockland in Highlands all have three bedrooms.

The price-pointed opportunity values the land of Filmore Terraces around $40,000 more affordable than the land is valued across the rest of Highlands Estate, which&nbsp;won the Property Council of Australia&nbsp;National Award 2015 for Best Masterplanned Community, and also won the UDIA National Award 2013 for Best Masterplanned Residential Community.

There's further growth anticipated for the area, with Stockland recently acquiring a neighbouring 12.3 hectare site which will offer enough space for another 180 houses and will see the&nbsp;Victorian government build a new primary school.

Infrastructure is already well in place, with more than 30 different schooling options across Highlands, from early education childcare to secondary schools. There's also a number of sporting facilities for&nbsp;tennis, cricket, swimming, athletics, netball, and even softball, with a number of clubs already in operation. Locals also get involved in the popular Park Run, the 5km fun run every week.

Tim Gurner's multi-billion dollar development firm, GURNERTM, has secured its second Gold Coast apartment development site.

Alongside&nbsp;leading real estate financier, MaxCap Group, the duo has grabbed a 1012 sqm site at&nbsp;1929 Gold Coast Highway, Burleigh Heads, with the intention of creating a 22-level luxury tower.

The $120 million project, which will see 80 apartments created and high end amenity located on the rooftop, will be designed by Gurner's go-to architect, Warren &amp; Mahoney, who handles all of Gurner's projects both in Melbourne and on the Gold Coast.

"There is no doubt that Burleigh Heads is the hottest market in Australia right now, and it’s a place we have to be in," Tim Gurner says.

“Following on from the incredible revitalisation that Chris Vitale is bringing with the Mondrian, we want to be able to enter the market and offer buyers all the amenity on offer in the area with residences that are attainable for local buyers."

The Burleigh Heads site will be centred around the concept of a Singaporean landscape oasis blended with elegant Japanese design, culminating in a lifestyle-led ultra-luxury precinct that also boasts GURNERTM’s signature resident amenities.

Warren and Mahoney design principal, Barrington Gohns, says the design at Burleigh Heads reflects the unique character of this thriving sub-tropical oasis – being both relaxed and refined.

“The architecture focuses on delivering private sanctuaries that reflect and meld with the coastal environment,"&nbsp;Gohns says.

“This connection to water influences the building’s façade and character. Materials have been employed to create a fresh, bright, and coastal feel, featuring natural elements of stone and timber surrounded by lush vegetation."

A development application is expected to be lodged to council in the next few months.

GV Property Group agents Antonio Mercuri and Luke Reaby amalgamated the apartment complex last year, which consisted of seven&nbsp;individually owned apartments from local and international investors. They said the competition for the site was a fierce between local and interstate developers and received multiple offers for the site. It was one of their 30 development&nbsp;sites to developers across the Gold Coast in 2021.

"We're excited to see well renowned interstate developers see opportunities in popular pockets such as Burleigh Heads and look forward to seeing an alternative level of design and luxury to the area," Mercuri said.

GURNERTM and MaxCap have a formidable track record of partnering together having completed over 20 transactions with an end value of ~$1.5 billion in the past decade.

MaxCap Group executive director and founder, Brae Sokolski, said&nbsp;MaxCap’s philosophy has always been to partner with only the highest calibre developers in the Australian market.

"Tim Gurner most certainly fits this bill and we are incredibly proud of our long sustained track record of success with Tim and his team,"&nbsp;Sokolski says.

"There is no doubt that Burleigh Heads is the hottest market in Australia right now, and it’s a place we have to be in," Tim Gurner says.

Gurner secures Burleigh Heads apartment development site, plans 22-level luxury tower

The Canberra-based property developer, Amalgamated Property Group, is set to become the latest interstate developer to invest in to the hot Gold Coast apartment market.

They're set to return&nbsp;to&nbsp;Broadbeach, where they've laid plans for a 33-level tower at 30 First Avenue, just 300 metres from the beach off Beach Parade.

The building will&nbsp;have 120 apartments,&nbsp;60 two-bedders, spanning a generous&nbsp;106 sqm, 30 two-bedroom plus multi-purpose room which have 147 sqm of living space, and 30 three-bedroom apartments&nbsp;which have 150&nbsp;sqm of space.

Local architecture firm DBI has designed the tower, with the building essentially split in two.

"The tower form is the intersection of two trapezoidal masses: the Western River Residences and the Eastern Ocean Residences," DBI note in their design statement submitted to the Gold Coast City Council.

<a href="/new-apartments/amaya-at-broadbeach-30-first-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4218"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="819" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/30_first_ave_broadbeach_1.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

"The eastern half of the building has sweeping balconies that wrap around the north and south corners of the building.

"The large continuous balcony of the ocean residences allows their occupants to make full use of the spectacular Gold Coast climate.

"Not only does the wrap around balcony encourage an indoor / outdoor lifestyle it also provides solar protection for the units."

The apartments will sit above the three level podium, the third level of the podium homing over 700 sqm of amenity.

Outside will be a resort-style lap pool with day beds, loungers, and a deck with seating.

<a href="/new-apartments/amaya-at-broadbeach-30-first-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4218"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="653" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/30_first_ave_broadbeach_2.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

Indoors will home a gym and a lounge with a dining area and kitchen space.

Currently on the 1214 sqm site is an original&nbsp;five-storey apartment block.&nbsp;

APG, led by founding director Graham Potts, has had a solid workbook&nbsp;since it was founded in 2002, having created some of Canberra's most striking residential and commercial buildings, as well as previous success in Queensland.

They developed the 30-level Sierra Grand serviced apartment tower on the Gold Coast, as well as the 28-storey Verve apartment development, and Aurora, over 400 apartments in the heart of Brisbane.

One of their most impressive Canberra development, which led APG to select DBI to design&nbsp;the Gold Coast project, is The Griffin in Parkes, which has used designs synonymous with the legendary architect Walter Burley Griffin.

Broadbeach is set to be one of the busiest apartment spots in the Gold Coast in 2022, with the likes of Raptis, QNY Group, and Turrisi Properties&nbsp;among a number of developers who will be launching projects this year.

The Melbourne-based Little Projects, and the Sydney-based Iris Residential, both currently have projects in market in the popular area.

GV Property Group's Antonio Mercuri, who sold the site off-market to APG, said there were a&nbsp;select few groups who had specific mandates for a site like this in the Broadbeach area to do an apartment&nbsp;project.&nbsp;

GV Property Group also recently amalgamated&nbsp;and sold 13-15 Australia Avenue, Broadbeach which was also purchased by Gold Coast / ACT developer, Morris Property Group.&nbsp;

APG is set to return to Broadbeach, where they've laid plans for a 33-level tower at 30 First Avenue, just 300 metres from the beach off Beach Parade.

Further development is anticipated in Castle Hill&#39;s growing Showground Station Precinct, in the Hills District west of Sydney.

The local developer will be clearing the site at&nbsp;7-23 Cadman Crescent and 18-24 Hughes Avenue and&nbsp;constructing five buildings with 255 apartments, centred around a courtyard with extensive landscaping, greenery, and a natural pool with waterfall.

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.

Stollery said the vision was to create a place that resonates with the history of the site and reinforce the character the neighbourhood.

&quot;The concept to extend Cattai Creek into the site, along with a heavily vegetated Australian landscape, strongly influence the design.

&nbsp;

&quot;The buildings step along the inclined typography and are further setback at the upper levels, mitigating perceived bulk when viewed from street level.&quot;

&quot;The solidity of sandstone and red-toned brick take cues from the natural Australian landscape inherent to this site and surrounds, to embed the base layers of the building to its context.&quot;

&nbsp;

There will be a mix of 64 one-bedroom apartments, 138 two-bedders and 53 three-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

The Gold Coast developer QNY Group, headed by the respected local businessman Anthony Quinn, has secured its next apartment development site.

It will be in Broadbeach where QNY Group, who is in a joint venture with Polites Property Group for the Main Beach development La Mer, has secured a 511 sqm prime corner site at 21 Broadbeach Boulevard. It cost $10.1 million, nearly $20,000 per sqm.

Located at the end of a coveted no-through road with Broadbeach Bowls Club to the west and Broadbeach Surf Lifesaving Club to the south, the site is currently occupied by a two-storey walk-up building, comprising four units.

Quinn says the site is one of the best on the Gold Coast, with the added exclusiveness of a no-through road and show-stopping 280-degree view corridors from Surfers Paradise to Coolangatta extending to the hinterland beyond.

<a href="/new-apartments/21-broadbeach-boulevard-broadbeach">To track this project through to development application and sales, click here.</a>

&ldquo;I have loved this site for as long as I can remember, as a Gold Coast local I&rsquo;ve known about this exclusive little pocket for a long time and have had ambitions to develop it,&rdquo;&nbsp;Quinn says.

&ldquo;As far as I am aware, there is no other site like it on the Gold Coast that provides no through thoroughfare, beach amenity with this prime view corridor, plus it&rsquo;s away from the hustle and bustle of Broadbeach, but within walking distance to all amenities giving you a feeling of being removed enough to enjoy the privilege of peace and quiet.&rdquo;

<a href="/new-apartments/21-broadbeach-boulevard-broadbeach">To track this project through to development application and sales, click here.</a>

Quinn says once he understood the increasingly high demand for boutique owner-occupied residences on the Gold Coast he wanted to get started on his next development project as soon as possible.

&quot;The demand for boutique owner-occupied residences on the Gold Coast is not slowing down so I intend to develop this site in line with this demand offering just one residence per floor, exceptionally high-quality amenity, with the development&#39;s design showcasing the priceless view as the focal point,&quot;&nbsp;says Quinn.

&ldquo;It is certainly an exciting time to be developing on the Gold Coast.&rdquo;

“I have loved this site for as long as I can remember, as a Gold Coast local I’ve known about this exclusive little pocket for a long time and have had ambitions to develop it,” Quinn says

The national property developer Dahua Group has revealed plans for its major Waterloo precinct.

The plans for the 1.7 hectare block, formerly an industrial site&nbsp;at 903-921 Bourke Street, Waterloo, will see four new buildings constructed, focused around a central plaza with retail and parks.

Two buildings will flank Bourke Street, one being the tallest tower proposed. Described as a stepped tower with family-targeted terraces which address the park, the building will have 147 apartments across its 20 levels.

Next door will be a six-storey plaza building with 26 apartments, defined as "quirky" by Bates Smart and Richards and Spence, who worked in collaboration on the tower and the plaza.

"The quirky 6-storey plaza building defines the heritage square, with clear reference to the industrial brick buildings of the past," the team noted in their design statement.

There will be a further two buildings facing Young Street, designed by architect Fieldwork&nbsp;in collaboration with MHNDU. They will have a combined 202&nbsp;apartments, taking the total number of apartments across the precinct to 375 apartments.

At the foot of the two Young St buildings will have fit out tenancy's for another for cafe or restaurant tenancy.

Dahua will retain two heritage buildings in the centre of the site, the 1922 Pumping Station and the 1935 Valve House.

"The Pumphouse is a convergence of geology and water, tracks and narratives, indigenous and non-indigenous peoples and cultures across the site," the submission to the City of Sydney noted.

<a href="/new-apartments/danks-st-district-903-921-bourke-street-waterloo-nsw-2017">To track the project through to sales, enquire here</a>

""At the heart of the proposal is a green oasis and oculus connection between a public ground plane, and a semi-public landscape terrace that serves the precincts residents.

"This oculus is designed to be populated on the ground plane with lively hospitality dining, and a visual connection back to the site’s heritage plaza."

There were 2020 plans submitted by Dahua which would have seen higher density towers built, with 469 apartments across four buildings.

Dahua's $220 million Waterloo apartment precinct plans

The Sydney-based developer Iris Capital has lifted the wraps on what buyers can expect from its highly anticipated $800 million Victoria &amp;&nbsp;Albert Broadbeach (V&amp;A Broadbeach) development, revealing that Broadbeach is set for a new era of relaxed sophistication with the landmark project.

V&amp;A Broadbeach, designed by award-winning Gold Coast architects DBI, brings together two individually designed towers of 56 and 40 storeys, created to complement the lifestyle and convenience of its location in the heart of Gold Coast’s cosmopolitan coastal suburb.

The project builds on the reputation of Iris Capital, led by leading Hotelier Sam Arnaout, for creating high quality integrated residential and mixed-use developments.

The east and west towers of V&amp;A Broadbeach will rise on the current site of Niecon Plaza and stretch across an entire city block from the Broadbeach Mall at Victoria Avenue to Albert Street, bringing to the market 399 apartments, extensive high-end retail and commercial offices.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=178909]

The east tower, named Albert, will be dedicated exclusively for owner-occupiers and offer prime ocean views. The west tower, Victoria,&nbsp;will provide an opportunity for those looking for a holiday home and investors to gain a foothold in the most significant development in central Broadbeach since the Oracle more than a decade ago.

Each tower will boast its own premium lobby entry and the mixed-used project will be complemented by two levels of premium offices and commercial facilities and a retail arcade, in line with the existing uses of the site.

V&amp;A Broadbeach will become the new home of high-end retail on the Gold Coast with the ground floor offering elevated ceiling heights for the luxe retail experience. The twin towers will share a subtropical recreational podium on level four, giving access for all residents to world-class amenities such as a 25-metre lap pool, a fully equipped gym, a yoga deck and a resident’s lounge. The podium will also feature a children’s area, a Zen garden, and an outdoor dining and barbecue area adorned with lush green landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=184934]

Amenities in the east tower are taken to the next level with an exclusive boutique residents’ lounge and the lavish double beach shower and surfboards storages to complement the iconic beach lifestyle at Broadbeach.

V&amp;A Broadbeach offers a mix of apartments in one, two and three-bedroom configurations, while upper residences will be available in three and four-bedroom styles. Both the east and west towers will be topped by two exclusive penthouses each.

“The apartments will be located from the fifth level on both of these towers, which greatly enhances view corridors on the lower-level apartments,” DBI director Raith Anderson said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=184933]

“While there is a diversity of apartments in our design, V&amp;A Broadbeach firmly embraces the principle of creating larger residences to deliver lifestyle amenities for residents.”

The use of full-height windows and operable panels across all the living areas maximise the ocean views and bring natural lighting to the residences.

“While this development is notably within walking distance of all that Broadbeach has to offer, from the iconic beach to acclaimed restaurants and entertainment facilities, the larger residences and ancillary resident facilities create the ultimate in residential amenity,” said Colliers’ Director Residential David Higgins.

“Everything is at your fingertips if you choose, or you can remain at home to enjoy the benefits of supreme privacy, a beautiful outlook and unparalleled amenities.”

While the Gold Coast apartment market is currently dominated by local downsizers, Higgins said V&amp;A Broadbeach also held considerable appeal for interstate buyers and investors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=180734]

“The mature buyer has been the big demographic shift on the Gold Coast, moving to owner occupiers seeking larger, well-appointed apartments in village locations close to the beach, transport and lifestyle amenity and this sums up the positioning of V&amp;amp;A Broadbeach in the current market,” he said.

“V&amp;A has been designed and orientated for the aspirational Broadbeach family buyers from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, although there is strong interest from owners within the older existing Broadbeach apartment buildings where they predominantly holiday rent their properties.

“The west tower provides these buyers with many options, including the opportunity for strong holiday rental market income and personal use during major holiday periods for them and their families.”

The central Broadbeach location puts V&amp;A Broadbeach within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, Pacific Fair, The Star Casino, Kurrawa Surf Club and&nbsp;kids’ play areas in the adjacent parkland.

Inside the Victoria & Albert, Broadbeach apartment towers

All the talk has been about how the Gold Coast has dominated the South East Queensland apartment market since COVID triggered an exodus from the southern states.

And the fanfare around the coastal areas, with the majority of the country working from home for the last few years, has seen Queensland&#39;s capital fly quietly under the radar.

Mosaic Property Group Founder and Managing Director Brook Monahan believes&nbsp;the inner ring surrounds of Brisbane has the most potential of any market in the state, and is looking to invest even further across its development pipeline after building a solid reputation over the last 17 years across south east Queensland.

&quot;There&#39;s just not enough high quality built form for owner occupiers wanting bigger units, and world class amenity, in the five kilometre ring around Brisbane,&quot; Monahan said, suggesting there&#39;s been a chronic undersupply for that type of buyer&nbsp;since around 2018.

&quot;That issue is getting worse, not better, with the amount of people still moving to Brisbane,&quot; Monahan added.

<img alt="" height="684" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-01-31_at_4.06.43_pm.png" width="1028" /> 
The Witton in Indooroopilly, which Mosaic sold out last year

Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed&nbsp;Queensland gained around 7000 people from net interstate migration over the March 2021 quarter alone.

&quot;With the amount of infrastructure being delivered across the city, not to mention international travel getting back to normal at some point this year and the pipeline of development in preparation for the 2032 Summer Olympics, there is just nowhere near enough housing stock.&quot;

The low stock is a pain point for the owner-occupier demographic, but not for investors, who Monahan says aren&#39;t quite back in full force just yet.

While Mosaic tend to cater for local owner occupiers&nbsp;in their developments, some investors who bought apartments to lease in Brisbane,&nbsp;have seen rental yields go through the roof.

&quot;If it&#39;s difficult to buy a larger apartment due to low supply, then the only option is to rent, and those who invested are benefitting from the tight supply and huge migration numbers,&quot; Monahan said.

Mosaic will be launching five projects in Brisbane across 2022,&nbsp;nine all up across South East Queensland. They&#39;ll be venturing into the Kangaroo Point and East Brisbane apartment markets&nbsp;after much success there in recent years, including the&nbsp;The Sinclair,&nbsp;which is fully sold out and due for completion mid this year.

One of their major focuses for the last eight years has been in Brisbane&#39;s inner west suburbs, which Monahan identified as a high growth area back in 2014. Last year they sold out&nbsp;The Witton in Indooroopilly, The Patterson in Toowong, and Kensington in Toowong, with all sales going&nbsp;to database buyers before hitting the open market.

The first to launch this year will also be in Toowong, which will be Mosaic&#39;s 11th project in the space of six years in the inner-west.

The soon-to-be-launched Toowong project.

The development, designed by DKO directly behind Toowong Shopping Centre, will offer a mix of large two and three-bedroom units and luxury penthouses.

The facade is inspired by the detailing and repetition of the traditional Queenslander. The veiled podium references the nearby Regatta Hotel on the Brisbane River.

There are four&nbsp;different zones on the rooftop. There&#39;s a&nbsp;wet zone,&nbsp;including&nbsp;pool and&nbsp;wet deck,&nbsp;with views to the city and river; a dining zone,&nbsp;including&nbsp;outdoor BBQ area and shelter&nbsp;overlooking the city&nbsp;and river; a wellness zone, which is a combination of a yoga lawn and gardens; and the multiuse zone to the south west which can be utilised for co-working during office hours or a communal kitchen and dining area after hours and on the weekends.

Mosaic Property Group boss Brook Monahan believes the inner ring of Brisbane has the most potential of any market in the state.



Why the Brisbane apartment market has the most potential in Queensland: Five minutes with Mosaic's Brook Monahan

Mosaic Property Group are continuing to set their stall out for a solid 2022.

The burgeoning South East Queensland apartment developer, who is looking to launch seven new projects across Brisbane,&nbsp;the Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast this year, are readying a boutique project in the sought-after Kirra Beach locale in Coolangatta.

Their second time developing in Coolangatta after having success with Elan,&nbsp;Mosaic has lodged plans with the Gold Coast City Council for a nine-level building at 7 Douglas Street, just off Musgrave Street and less than 200&nbsp;metres from the popular beach and surf spot.

<a href="/new-apartments/luca-7-douglas-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">To be the first to be notified when the project hits sales, enquire here.</a>

There will be 31 two and three-bedroom apartments across the tower, which architecture firm Gatehouse Architects designed to connect the occupants to the local environment.

&quot;It is an understanding and reflection of the curving natural landscape of the Kirra Beach and Coolangatta Creek,&quot; Gatehouse noted in their design statement submitted to the local council.

Exclusive: Mosaic Property Group set for new Coolangatta apartment development

It was the third quarter of 2021 when the award-winning Melbourne developer, Pace Development Group,&nbsp;decided to convert their fourth building in their Pace of Blackburn development from office to residential.

The seven-level building, which became 90 apartments, is now over 70 per cent sold since launching mid last year in the midst of the rolling COVID lockdowns. The sales success&nbsp;follows sell outs of the first three buildings.

Pace&#39;s Sales and Marketing Director&nbsp;Ashley Bramich told Urban that it was a no brainer to pivot the fourth building from office to residential, given the demand the team were fielding&nbsp;from both first home buyers and downsizers.

&quot;We&#39;ve seen first home buyers drive back in to the market as the gap between both the apartment market and the housing market, and the off the plan apartment market and established apartment market, reaches record highs,&quot; Bramich said, adding that it&#39;s the other side of the coin for downsizers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7211 project_image_fid=158008]

&quot;Downsizers are in a position where they can sell their homes at a premium in the current market, move to a low maintenance, brand new apartment without diluting their lifestyle, and re-invest the rest of their sale in to super for retirement.

&quot;In a suburb where the median house price is $1 million, both first home buyers and downsizers have found great value in the each type of apartment, with one-bedders starting from&nbsp;$410,000, two-bed apartment from&nbsp;$540,000 and the larger three-bedroom apartments from $780,000.&quot;

The majority of interest has come from those already within close proximity to Blackburn, around three kilometres, however Bramich suggests first home buyers have come from slightly further afield, due to how connected Blackburn is as an area to the rest of Melbourne.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7211 project_image_fid=39986]

Two of the four of buildings at Pace of Blackburn will start settling in the next few months, with the final two buildings expected to be completed toward the end of 2022.

There are limited opportunities left for buyers in the last building, with just 29 apartments left. The mixed-use nature of the precinct has been a major drawcard for buyers, with street-level retail expecting cafes and convenience stores.&nbsp;Foodworks will be the&nbsp;anchor supermarket, while&nbsp;AK Skin Clinic, Talons Nails, a japanese restaurant from the team at Oushou, and The Studio Beans caf&eacute;, have all been confirmed as tenants, with more announcements to come soon.

Designed in collaboration between&nbsp;Ascui&nbsp;and Co. Architects, interior designer Adele Bates and MDG Landscape Architects, Pace of Blackburn also features extensive resident amenity, including&nbsp;an 18 metre lap pool, a children&#39;s splash pool, a gym, library with a fireplace, and a bookable&nbsp;meeting space and a private dining room with a full chefs kitchen.

There will be a&nbsp;concierge service, with cold room storage for the safe keeping of groceries.

Pace enjoy success after office to apartment pivot at Pace of Blackburn project

One of North Sydney's best-known commercial buildings could become hundreds of new homes, with insurance giant Zurich Australia lodging a State Significant Development Application (SSDA) to transform 5 Blue Street into a mixed-use residential development above North Sydney Station.

Rather than demolishing the existing building and starting again, Zurich is proposing an adaptive reuse project that would convert the landmark office building into a 15-level residential development delivering 62 apartments, 86 affordable co-living dwellings, activated retail and significant upgrades to the Blue Street Plaza.

The proposal reflects a growing trend of commercial property owners repositioning ageing office assets into residential housing as Sydney grapples with housing supply shortages and changing workplace demand.

<img alt="Zurich" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0bba7d12-06dc-4375-aad7-238c94b21ac5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-22%20at%2010.42.05%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=NJl5oLAEBDGuPmY3RnyliKODjMc8lvRh" />

Located directly above North Sydney Metro and train station, the 3,051 sqm site occupies one of the most strategically positioned parcels of land on Sydney's Lower North Shore.

Designed by fjcstudio, the proposal seeks to retain and adapt much of the existing structure while creating a contemporary residential address that better connects with the public domain surrounding North Sydney Station.

The application proposes two basement levels, ground floor retail, affordable co-living accommodation across the podium levels, and apartments above, while preserving and enhancing the publicly accessible Blue Street Plaza.

Rather than pursuing maximum apartment numbers, Zurich has opted for a housing mix heavily weighted towards larger owner-occupier residences.

The proposal includes 62 build-to-sell apartments comprising 12 one-bedroom, 19 two-bedroom, 29 three-bedroom apartments and two premium penthouses. It also incorporates 86 affordable co-living dwellings, which would be managed in perpetuity by a Community Housing Provider.

That balance between traditional apartments and affordable housing reflects the NSW Government's push to increase housing diversity around major transport infrastructure.

The proposal has been lodged concurrently with a rezoning application, with Zurich arguing the site is ideally positioned to support additional housing given its immediate proximity to public transport, employment and services.

"The proposal aims to respond to the housing challenges facing Sydney through the delivery of diverse housing types in a highly accessible location," the design report by fjcstudio states. It also seeks to improve pedestrian amenity through upgrades to Blue Street Plaza while creating a high-performing residential building that responds to the surrounding context.

<img alt="Zurich" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="36082e15-c636-4481-bb68-5a5f6443fe39" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-22%20at%2010.41.36%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=5P6VD.fvmqjQfIG3TWWMRXxQWiQBjeFB" />

Rather than replacing the commercial building, fjcstudio has developed a design that works with the existing structural framework above the rail corridor, an approach that significantly reduces demolition while allowing the site to be repositioned as a mixed-use residential precinct.

The existing structural constraints have informed much of the building's design, including its relationship with Blue Street and surrounding public spaces.

The building has been designed as a slender tower rising above a clearly defined podium, with vertically expressed façades intended to reduce the perceived bulk while reinforcing North Sydney's emerging skyline.

According to fjcstudio, the architectural language responds directly to the surrounding commercial towers while maintaining a finer grain expression more closely aligned with the neighbouring Lavender Bay streetscape.

The tower incorporates articulated façade elements, landscaped podium edges and recessed upper levels to soften its appearance and improve pedestrian amenity below.

A significant component of the proposal is the revitalisation of Blue Street Plaza.

The existing public space has long served as one of the primary pedestrian connections between North Sydney Station, Greenwood Plaza and Blue Street, yet its role is expected to become even more important following the opening of Sydney Metro.

Zurich's proposal seeks to strengthen that role by improving landscaping, introducing new retail frontages, enhancing pedestrian permeability and creating more active edges throughout the day and evening.

Ground floor retail would wrap the plaza, while separate residential and co-living entries have been designed to improve wayfinding without reducing street activation.

Landscape design has been integrated throughout the podium and public realm, softening what is currently one of the most heavily urbanised parts of North Sydney.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

fjcstudio has carefully oriented apartments towards Sydney Harbour and the CBD while using privacy blades and articulated façades to minimise overlooking between neighbouring buildings.

Large framed openings along the western elevation maximise harbour outlooks, while the eastern apartments have been angled towards the south-east to improve privacy from neighbouring development.

The project forms part of the continuing transformation of North Sydney from a predominantly commercial CBD into a genuine mixed-use city centre.

Since the completion of Victoria Cross Metro Station, developers have increasingly shifted their attention towards residential projects capable of leveraging the area's unparalleled transport connectivity.

&nbsp;

FiveX recently lodged plans for a 61-storey, 490-apartment tower that would become one of the tallest residential buildings in North Sydney if approved.

Aqualand continues to expand its Lower North Shore presence following the completion of AURA on Walker Street and its recent St Leonards and Roseville proposals.

Developers are also progressing projects throughout Walker Street, Miller Street and the Victoria Cross precinct as demand for well-located owner-occupier apartments continues to strengthen.

Busy developer Aqualand Prestige has formally taken the next step in its expansion across Sydney's Lower North Shore, lodging a State Significant Development Application (SSDA) for its long-held Archer Street site in Chatswood.

The application covers <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/51-55-archer-street-chatswood-nsw-2067">51-55 Archer Street</a>, a 1,767 sqm amalgamated site on the eastern edge of the Chatswood CBD, where the developer is seeking approval for a 45-level mixed-use tower delivering 114 apartments, including a significant affordable housing component, alongside retail, commercial space and six basement levels of parking.

The SSDA marks the latest milestone for a project Aqualand has been quietly progressing over the past two years. The developer first secured the site for its Aqualand Prestige platform before undertaking an alternative design excellence process with PTW Architects, ultimately avoiding a formal design competition through the Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

The proposal has evolved considerably from Aqualand's original concept. The revised scheme has been designed around larger owner-occupier product, with an unusually high proportion of three and four-bedroom apartments, targeting the more affluent buyer profile, and downsizer, emerging across the North Shore.

<img alt="Archer St" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0171204c-5811-41b5-9b09-2335d1b7c3d0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-22%20at%208.52.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=6YTuxfq.puZo7k2wbfgemcO5K3QfXYGQ" />

The 114-apartment mix comprises six studios, 27 one-bedroom apartments, 18 two-bedroom apartments, 50 three-bedroom residences and 13 four-bedroom homes. A quarter of the building will be dedicated to affordable housing, well above the mandated 15 per cent&nbsp;

PTW has structured the building vertically, with affordable housing across levels one to six, premium apartments through levels seven to 31, duplex skyhomes on klevels 32 to 43, a penthouse on level 44, and a rooftop plant level above. Six basement levels will provide resident parking and servicing.

The tower is proposed to reach approximately 154 metres, placing it among a growing collection of residential high-rises transforming Chatswood's skyline.

Rather than competing purely on height, PTW says the design has been driven by creating a slimmer tower capable of delivering significantly larger apartments.

"The primary objective of this project was to create a distinctive building that stands out from the recently approved or built structures in the Chatswood area," the design report states, noting the structural efficiency allows greater investment into apartment quality and resident amenity.

Residents would have access to more than 450 sqm of communal open space including landscaped gardens, swimming pool, rooftop entertaining areas, fitness spaces, community gardens, children's play areas and barbecue facilities.

A major focus of the design has been the public domain.

The ground plane has been opened up through landscaped terraces inspired by Willoughby's sandstone ridges, with native planting, public seating, artwork, retail activation and a series of gathering spaces intended to soften what has traditionally been a hard commercial streetscape.

The landscape strategy references Blue Gum forests once common throughout the area, while incorporating Indigenous storytelling, public art and lighting installations to strengthen the connection to Country.

Chatswood has been one of Sydney's busiest apartment markets over the past 12 months, with a steady pipeline of both new project launches and fresh development applications.

Hyecorp recently launched Celine, a 122-apartment development just along Archer Street, while Changfa and Huirong Group are progressing The Anderson, an 84-apartment project on Anderson Street.

Develotek recently secured approval for a 101-apartment tower on Pacific Highway, while Tian An LFD received the green light for Hammond Greens, its apartment development on the edge of the Chatswood Bowling Club.

Commercial property developer FiveX is also making its move into the residential market. Last month it lodged plans for a 61-storey tower with 490 apartments, which, if approved, would become one of the tallest residential buildings in Chatswood.

Aqualand is also expanding its development pipeline following the launch of its luxury residential brand, Aqualand Prestige. The developer has delivered a string of high-end apartment projects across Sydney's affluent suburbs over the past decade, most recently AURA by Aqualand on Walker Street in North Sydney.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=292863]

It has since quietly assembled its next wave of projects.

Earlier this year Aqualand launched Boronia in Roseville, a boutique 111-apartment development on Larkin Street. The project is one of the first significant apartment developments to launch in the suburb ahead of what is expected to become one of Sydney's most active new housing precincts under the NSW Government's Low and Mid-Rise Housing reforms, which allow greater density around train stations.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152095 project_image_fid=373685]

The developer has also lodged plans for a two-tower, 413-apartment development on Herbert Street in nearby St Leonards, further strengthening its presence across the Lower North Shore.

Beyond that, Aqualand remains behind the final stage of Barangaroo, where plans will deliver a five-hectare mixed-use precinct comprising new homes, retail, hospitality and community facilities, alongside a new Metro entrance and more than two hectares of public open space, completing the Barangaroo precinct.

Mass timber is becoming an increasingly popular construction material in apartment developments, but Adelaide developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/otello">Otello</a> is taking the approach a step further.

At its new <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/flowe-bowden-18-gibson-street-bowden-sa-5007">Flowe Bowden</a> development, the exposed cross-laminated timber (CLT) structure isn't just about reducing the building's environmental footprint. It also forms the foundation of a broader wellness strategy, influencing everything from indoor air quality and natural materials to the way residents move through and experience the building.

The 115-apartment mixed-use development, designed by Melbourne-based architecture practice Fieldwork, will occupy a prominent island site opposite Bowden Village Reserve, combining one, two and three-bedroom apartments with retail and a dedicated wellness destination.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152022 project_image_fid=375528]

Wellness isn't confined to a gym or shared resident facility at Flowe. Instead, Fieldwork embedded the concept into the building itself.

The development has been split into two residential wings connected by a naturally ventilated central breezeway, replacing traditional enclosed corridors with open-air walkways that improve natural light, encourage cross ventilation and create more opportunities for neighbourly interaction.

"Rather than treating wellness as something that only happens on the ground floor, our response integrates it throughout the building, which led us to ask what it really means to design a healthy building," Fieldwork Director Quino Holland said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152022 project_image_fid=375531]

The building's architecture also reflects Bowden's industrial heritage. The lower podium references the area's historic brick and sandstone buildings, while the upper levels transition to exposed CLT, allowing the timber structure to become a defining feature throughout the apartments and shared spaces.

The use of mass timber sits alongside a range of sustainability initiatives, including a fully electric, gas-free design, rooftop solar and a targeted 5 Star Green Star rating.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152022 project_image_fid=375524]

Inside the residences, the focus remains on natural, durable materials. Blackbutt engineered timber flooring, exposed CLT ceilings, porcelain surfaces and warm timber joinery create a calming interior palette, while low-VOC finishes and responsibly sourced materials have been selected to improve indoor air quality.

Kitchens have been designed as the centrepiece of each apartment, featuring porcelain island benchtops, timber-look cabinetry and brushed steel tapware, with layouts that maximise natural light and ventilation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152022 project_image_fid=375530]

The more traditional interpretation of wellness comes in the form of Level Eleven, a two-storey wellness club spanning the ground floor, mezzanine and first floor.

The facility will include a gym, yoga and reformer Pilates studios, Finnish and infrared saunas, magnesium hot and cold plunge pools, and dedicated recovery spaces. Unlike many residential wellness facilities, Level Eleven will also operate commercially, allowing the broader Bowden community to access the venue while giving residents exclusive membership benefits.

The ground floor has also been designed around everyday living. A café overlooking Bowden Village Reserve will activate the street frontage, while a bike workshop with tool storage, co-working space and dog wash has been incorporated to support daily routines and encourage interaction between residents.

"Flowe brings together my two biggest passions, creating places and creating healthier lives," Otello founder Daniel Harris said.

"We wanted to create something Adelaide hasn't seen before, a genuinely healthy building, where the way you live is lifted without even trying."

Flowe is positioned directly opposite Bowden Village Reserve and within walking distance of Bowden Railway Station and the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, placing future residents just minutes from the Adelaide CBD while remaining connected to one of the city's most established urban renewal precincts.

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.
