National property developer <a href="/developers/sarazin">Sarazin</a> has appointed <a href="/builders/hutchinson-builders">Hutchinson Builders</a> as the construction partner for its new Woolloongabba apartment development, Murcia Residences.

The project, inspired by the Spanish city of Murcia, is designed by <a href="/architects/hal-architects">HAL Architects</a> and aims to offer a relaxed, Mediterranean ambience with extensive outdoor amenities.

<a href="/new-apartments/murcia-residences-east-brisbane-9-overend-street-east-brisbane">Murcia Residences</a> comprises 186 one, two, three, and four-bedroom apartments with open-plan living spaces that integrate indoor and outdoor areas.&nbsp;

Residents will enjoy views of the city, river, and eastern suburbs from deep balconies designed for alfresco living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135094 project_image_fid=214645]

Crowning the development will be an infinity pool, accompanied by private poolside cabanas and sun lounges.

Gold Coast downsizers are seeking quality alternatives to traditional housing and apartment options with leading agents claiming the lifestyle demographic is prioritising dwellings with larger floor plans, privacy, and increased security in prime locations.&nbsp;

The multi-award-winning villas at <a href="/developments/isle-of-capri-qld-4217">Isle of Capri</a>’s newest community, <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a>, currently under construction, are hitting the mark with empty nesters, with the majority of sales to date made to downsizers from the surrounding suburbs.

Construction is on schedule for a late 2025 completion, with the first pour of internal roads complete and the first slabs being poured this week.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=216115]

Local downsizers Chris and Julie Kelaart were quick to secure a three-bedroom villa at <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> after the <a href="/new-townhouses/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> couple decided they wanted to elevate their lifestyle while minimising the upkeep and maintenance required by their family home.

“We have lived on the Gold Coast for almost 14 years and with all of our children married it was time to sell the 17-acre family property and downsize to a home that reflects the lifestyle we want for the next stage of our lives,” Mr Kelaart said.

“When we started looking for our next home, we were set on purchasing a new property and we were prepared to buy off the plan.

“With <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> under construction, we are just so excited because it’s all good and well to look at plans and designs but to see it coming out of the ground is amazing.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=213455]

<a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a>, developed by Gold Coast-based <a href="/developers/monaco-property-group">Monaco Property Group (MPG)</a> and being built by <a href="/builders/greyburn">Greyburn Building Contractors</a>, is a landmark project representing the largest residential project in the suburb in more than three decades. <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> occupies a prime 1.2-hectare site set to house 48 architecturally designed luxury villas.

Coming from a large family home, Mrs Kelaart said she was drawn to Capri because she didn’t feel she was compromising on space and liveability yet she gained a new level of luxury with an architecturally-designed villa that felt like a separate dwelling.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“We chose a villa at <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> because of the exceptional high-quality workmanship and the beautiful design,” says Mrs Kelaart.&nbsp;

“The generous floorplans made us feel like we weren’t resizing our whole lives to fit into a downsizing option and we still have plenty of room to comfortably accommodate our family and friends when they visit with the extra bedrooms and bathrooms.

“The resident facilities are top notch too so the days of Chris sitting on the mower for hours on end are long gone and having someone else to look after the pool will be fantastic.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=213450]

Designed by global practice <a href="/architects/plus-architecture">Plus Architecture</a> and award-winning local firm <a href="/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, the project offers two and three-level villas ranging in size from 241 sqm to 370 sqm with three and four-bedroom options available along with multi-purpose rooms and secure double garages.

NPA Director Andrew Erwin says a villa at <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> is the “ultimate rightsizer”, offering house-size dimensions in a blue-chip location within a secure, gated community.

“Downsizing is often considered a compromise as it implies you are sacrificing or giving up something but many people in this age bracket do not want to compromise on space and liveability in their new home, instead they want to upscale their lifestyle to suit the next stage of their lives,” Erwin says.

“<a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> offers a villa lifestyle where you don’t have to compromise on space or privacy, yet you have the added benefits of extra security, access to resort-style amenities that you don’t have to maintain, and a prime location close to all the Gold Coast has to offer.

“With construction now full steam ahead and the first residents expected to be welcomed next year, Capri is the perfect option for buyers who want to embrace a lifestyle change within the foreseeable future.”

<a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> offers an exclusive gated community surrounded by world-class resort-style, resident-only amenities including a pool with submerged lounge chairs, a sundeck, an outdoor dining terrace, a covered barbeque area, and a residents lounge complete with kitchen, bar, TV, lounge, and fireplace.

<a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> is more than 60 per cent sold.

Developer Immerse Projects is putting shovel in the ground at its Robina apartment development,&nbsp;Ombré, just a few months after launching the project to the market.

It comes after they secured <a href="/news/qld/40-million-in-four-weeks-at-ombr-robina-apartments">$40 million in sales in just four weeks</a>.

The <a href="/new-apartments/ombre-robina-46-scottsdale-drive-robina">eight-storey development</a> on Scottsdale Drive, which will deliver a mix of 95 one, two and three-bedroom apartments and ground-level retail and commercial spaces, is already 50 per cent sold.&nbsp;

Seasoned local builder <a href="/builders/greyburn">Greyburn Building Contractors</a> commenced early works on site this week.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143341 project_image_fid=251415]

<a href="/developers/immerse-projects">Immerse Projects</a> founder and Managing Director John Kearney said more than 70 per cent of Ombré purchasers were local owner-occupiers and the swift transition from sales to construction would enable much-needed housing supply to be delivered without delay.&nbsp;

“The only way the sector can restore buyer confidence is to have the financial capacity and project partners to get construction underway early,” Kearney said.&nbsp;

“Too many projects are gathering dust on the shelf and it’s hurting the industry.&nbsp;

“Ombré is delivering high-quality housing supply to the Gold Coast’s lifestyle-driven ‘middle market’, which has been overlooked in the rush by developers to cater exclusively to prestige buyers.&nbsp;

“We launched the sales program in March and there are machines on the ground in June. Based on the current schedule, we’re expecting to welcome residents to their apartments in late 2025.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143341 project_image_fid=276623]

Kearney, who is at the helm of both Immerse Projects and Greyburn Building Contractors, said the alignment of his two companies would ensure the seamless delivery of Ombré.&nbsp;

“Greyburn’s greatest strength is our local expert team, many of whom have been with us for decades, and their trusted supplier and trade networks,” he said.&nbsp;

“Our building teams are leaders in mid-rise and townhouse construction, and our expertise in this niche &nbsp;area has enabled us to hone our skills, grow our reputation and derisk our workbook.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143341 project_image_fid=251418]

Kearney said Greyburn had a 35-year history of delivering award-winning projects for leading private and listed developers and was the exclusive contract builder for Immerse Projects.&nbsp;

“It’s incredibly advantageous to be able to align the development and construction outcomes from the early conception of a project, shaving up to six months off the typical delivery process,” he said.&nbsp;

“This time saving equates to cost savings and added peace of mind for purchasers.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143341 project_image_fid=251416]

Located close to <a href="/developments/robina-qld-4226">major retail, education and employment centres</a> and well connected to the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>’s beaches, Kearney said Ombré would give its residents endless opportunities to live life in their own way.&nbsp;

Apartments with one-bed, two living areas start from $749,000, two-bedroom apartments start from $829,000, and three-bedroom apartments start from $1.23 million. Private resident amenities include a residents’ lounge, function room, games room, spacious pool and landscaped outdoor spaces.&nbsp;

"We wanted to reimagine that suburban brick architecture within the project so that it has very much a sense of place and context," James McCarthy, Director of Turner Studio, explained.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=133881 project_image_fid=209812]

Nick Turner, Principal Architect of Turner Studio, also emphasised the importance of apartment design in the project.&nbsp;

The apartment layouts are designed to provide larger living spaces with various room sizes to accommodate different uses. Each apartment will have private open balconies.

A communal room on level one will adjoin an outdoor and undercover area equipped with seating and BBQ facilities, intended for social interaction. This space will connect to common gardens, featuring a pathway to a northern setback area designed for active and passive recreation.

Level eight will feature another communal open space with seating, shaded planting areas, and views of Sydney Harbour.

For residents' convenience, appropriate bicycle parking will be provided along with charging stations for electric vehicles.&nbsp;Other sustainable design features include the use of low-maintenance plant species and on-site water-saving measures such as rainwater storage and reuse for landscaping.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sunland-group">Sunland Group</a> has officially lodged plans for its first Gold Coast apartment project since the departure of the Abedian family from the company three years ago, unveiling a new high-rise proposal for a prominent Broadbeach corner site on Old Burleigh Road.

The application was submitted by an entity directed by Tom Jamieson, stepson of longtime Sunland leader Soheil Abedian, and Riaz Rezvanipour, brother-in-law of Sahba Abedian, Soheil’s son.

Sunland acquired the 1,283 sqm site on the corner of Old Burleigh Road and Armrick Avenue for $9.5 million late last year and is now seeking approval for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/99-101-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">42-storey tower with 81 apartments</a>.

<img alt="First look: Sunland Group returns to Broadbeach with new Old Burleigh Road tower plans" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fea2946d-90ee-4cfc-babe-2a8ad5db2cb6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/pers.png?VersionId=BV0fihJw31nDIQ8ozY_h3GbS8mxDyhnm" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/contreras-earl-architecture">Contreras Earl Architecture</a>, the proposed tower at 99-101 Old Burleigh Road would deliver a predominantly larger-format apartment mix aimed at the owner-occupier market. Plans include 17 two-bedroom apartments, 55 three-bedroom apartments, and nine four-bedroom residences across 35 residential levels.

The development also incorporates three basement levels, four podium parking levels, two levels of communal recreation facilities, and rooftop plant and equipment. A total of 189 car spaces are proposed, significantly exceeding the 90 spaces required under the planning scheme.

The architecture adopts a sculpted, curvilinear form, with deep wraparound balconies and integrated landscaping intended to soften the tower’s vertical expression. The planning report states the building’s “slender footprint/form provides a complimentary yet varied built form within the local streetscape” and contributes to “a varied, yet ordered skyline.”

Contreras Earl noted in its Architectural Statement that from the early stages, the project addressed a fundamental challenge: how to accommodate the required residential yield while avoiding the conventional model of a tower sitting on a rigid, fully resolved parking podium.

“The most direct response would have been to consolidate parking into a singular, flat podium and extrude a repetitive tower above,” the statement said. “While efficient, this approach would result in a consolidated built form with limited engagement with the surrounding landscape and public realm.”

Instead, the conventional podium model was “deliberately rejected”. The architects described the base of the building as “a landscaped architectural condition where structure, planting and circulation are integrated”.

“Rather than presenting a continuous built mass, the base of the building is articulated through a series of concrete planter elements that organise the podium into a fragmented system,” the statement said. “This approach reduces the perceived bulk of the lower levels while establishing a more permeable interface with the streetscape and adjacent open space.”

<img alt="Sunland" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="923fad8d-c960-4527-8fbe-975cf1ddf88d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-25%20at%2010.32.03%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=pngwb0hYOIUpq9vDw6F2EsOiVuHF3DiX" />

&nbsp;

The site sits within the High Density Residential Zone and inside the City of Gold Coast’s unrestricted “HX” building height area, where the planning framework anticipates intensified residential development tied to the expanding light rail corridor. The planning report notes the area is undergoing “transition toward more intense development forms” given its proximity to Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise, and high-frequency public transport infrastructure.

Positioned directly opposite Broadbeach Park and within walking distance of Florida Gardens light rail station, the development would sit among a rapidly evolving stretch of Old Burleigh Road that has become one of the Gold Coast’s most active apartment development corridors.

The application joins a growing pipeline of luxury residential projects reshaping Broadbeach, including nearby developments by 5Point Projects, Polycell, and Graya.

The planning report argues the project contributes toward the Gold Coast’s long-term housing targets under the South East Queensland Regional Plan, which forecasts the need for more than 100,000 additional high-rise dwellings across the city by 2046.

First look: Sunland Group returns to Broadbeach new apartment market with new Old Burleigh Road tower plans

The Minns Labor Government has established the new Bays West Delivery Authority to lead the development&nbsp;of the Bays West Precinct and Blackwattle Bay Precinct.&nbsp;

The Authority is charged with creating Sydney’s newest precinct, a thriving, connected, sustainable hub with White Bay Power Station as its cultural heart. Its vision is to build on the area’s natural, cultural and industrial history to shape a vibrant new neighbourhood.

The precinct will deliver up to 8,500 well-located homes, including a minimum of 10 per cent affordable and essential worker homes. Combine new housing with public open space, opening public access to the waterfront for the first time in more than 100 years, while retaining important deep-water facilities to support Sydney’s working harbour.

Located just minutes from the Sydney CBD and connected to a world-class metro, ferry, walking and cycling links, the Bays West precinct will rebalance housing growth towards well-serviced inner-city locations and help tackle the state’s housing crisis.

The Bays West Delivery Authority,&nbsp;an agency of the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure, will report to the NSW Minister for Lands and Property who already has oversight of major precinct renewal projects including at Blackwattle Bay and Barangaroo.

As part of the broader Bays West transformation, the Minns Government recently announced that a proposal from Lendlease to redevelop part of the Bays West Precinct has progressed to Stage 2 of the NSW Government’s unsolicited proposals process.

<img alt="Sydney" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2ed71eb9-d8e8-4fa7-b9d1-de4531dcf2f3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-25%20at%209.42.31%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=IDryFIbped9SNDg72LEN_EecvhUsOPvp" />

The Minns Labor Government has also confirmed the Bays West precinct will have a new suburb name. This will be the first major suburb built in close proximity to Sydney’s CBD in decades and will encompass the area currently being referred to as Bays West, including Glebe Island and the White Bay Power Station. Served by a new Metro station just five minutes from the CBD, it will become one of the most populous suburbs in the Inner West and one of Sydney’s premier cultural destinations.

An early works program is taking shape, which&nbsp;includes the first stages of an international design competition.&nbsp;

The aim of the Bays West&nbsp;International&nbsp;Design Competition is to&nbsp;ensure design excellence is embedded in the project from the start. The competition will deliver an&nbsp;urban framework that defines the character, ambition and long-term identity of&nbsp;this&nbsp;former industrial precinct as it transitions to a vibrant, inclusive and sustainable residential&nbsp;neighbourhood.

The competition will be led by the Bays West Delivery Authority in partnership with Government Architect NSW.&nbsp;

It will launch with an invitation for a global Expressions of Interest, before moving to an invitation-only stage that will be assessed by a panel that&nbsp;will provide advice to Cabinet who will select a winner.

Premier of NSW, Chris Minns said the establishment of the new Authority is the first step in transforming the Bays West precinct into a vibrant, livable suburb minutes from the Sydney CBD and two stops from Hunter St Station on the Metro West line.

“The Authority will deliver well-located homes close to the heart of the city and integrate the new precinct with Blackwattle Bay and the new Sydney Fish Market.

“This is a generational opportunity to build a new suburb on the city’s edge and open the harbour foreshore to the public for the first time in a century.”&nbsp;

Minister for Lands and Property Steve Kamper said the new Bays West Delivery Authority established by the Minns Government will turbocharge the development of Sydney’s newest suburb.

“The Authority is working at a record pace to deliver an international design competition, planning pathways and a financial model so that this development benefits Sydney with well-designed homes in a central location, close to public transport, jobs, entertainment and essential services.

“If we want Sydney to stay liveable and affordable, we need to be bold about using underutilised government-owned land to deliver homes for the future while making sure essential working harbour functions can be accommodated.”

Bays West Delivery Authority established to "turbocharge" Sydney’s newest suburb

Around 400 additional homes could be built at Southwark Grounds on Port Road, lifting total site capacity from 1300 to around 1700 dwellings.

A recently approved code amendment would allow apartment towers of up to 14 storeys in some areas of Renewal SA’s redevelopment of the former West End Brewery.

Renewal SA Acting Chief Executive Shane Wingard said he welcomed the code amendment, with the increase in heights and homes making a positive impact on the supply of high-quality, well-connected housing close to the city.

“By going higher across some parts of Southwark Grounds, we are adding a substantial number of very well-located homes with little impact on project delivery time or planned open space,” Mr Wingard said.

Since the project officially launched in 2025, Mr Wingard said more than 12,000 enquiries had been received about living at Southwark Grounds.

“The very strong early interest we’ve seen since homes were first released in the precinct reinforces our plans to create more housing opportunities,” he said.

The Southwark Grounds code amendment was launched in December last year, with community engagement undertaken over five weeks from January.

It proposed increasing maximum building heights from eight to 14 storeys on the eastern section of Southwark Grounds, and to 12 storeys across the remainder of the site, with minimum building heights ranging from two to four storeys.

The code amendment was implemented through an Early Commencement policy in late January, allowing developers to quickly explore the viability of increased height and housing yield while other planning processes continue.

One of the first developers delivering apartment sites have already finalised redesigns to increase the number of apartments following the code amendment.

Samaras’ development adjacent to the future Colonel Light Park is now planning to deliver 125 apartments across 11 storeys, significantly greater than original plans of around 50 apartments across four storeys.

The developer is also exploring the potential for additional affordable housing outcomes.

Most of the apartments at Southwark Grounds will be delivered within a master-planned precinct on a large parcel of land on the eastern portion of the site, covering around two-thirds of its 8.4 hectares.

Wingard said detailed precinct planning over the coming months may identify further opportunities to increase yield further that could see total apartment numbers at Southwark Grounds, exceed this number.

Affordable homes at Southwark Grounds will also see a net increase, with Renewal SA maintaining its commitment to a minimum of 20 per cent affordable housing across the development.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Civil works have begun across the site, with construction under way on the first new roads surrounding a townhouse precinct in the south‑west corner of Southwark Grounds. This includes Renewal SA’s 17 Founder’s Row homes, which are on track for completion by Christmas.

“We expect to have people living at Southwark Grounds by the end of the year, so delivering roads and public spaces for those residents is among our highest priorities.”

Construction of 40 townhouses off Anderson Street, known as West Village and being delivered by Contour, is forecast to begin in mid‑2026. Kolabb’s Anderson Lane development will follow shortly after, delivering a further 26 townhouses.

Southwark Grounds is a state government‑led urban renewal project now set to deliver around 1,700 homes over the next decade.

Homes will be supported by a supermarket, a range of retail and hospitality offerings anchored by a revitalised Walkerville Brew Tower, a childcare centre, car parking and well‑connected public spaces.

400 new homes planned for Adelaide's former West End Brewery site

Brisbane developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/cavcorp">Cavcorp</a> has lodged plans for a new mixed-use residential development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/55-wyandra-street-teneriffe-qld-4005">55 Wyandra Street</a>, Teneriffe, anchored by an 85-metre public laneway designed to reconnect the suburb’s riverfront with the Gasworks precinct.

The buildings, known as Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane, would replace the existing Queensland Cotton head office site with a 15-storey residential tower transitioning to eight storeys toward Helen Street. The project has been designed by Plazibat Architects and lodged as a code assessable development application for 93 apartments across a 3,401 sqm mixed-use site within the Newstead and Teneriffe Waterfront neighbourhood plan.

Central to the scheme is the transformation of an existing service easement into a publicly accessible cross-block connection linking Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the new laneway will act as both a pedestrian shortcut and a landscaped civic space between the Teneriffe Riverwalk, ferry terminal, and Gasworks precinct.

<img alt="First Look: Cavcorp unveils Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane plans for landmark wellness tower in Teneriffe" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="26e7f058-b065-4de8-b13d-a2b8cb64dfcc" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/bldg.png?VersionId=sELS0ZKYi361oYipUa1BIKfe_.DLZoFV" />

“The revised proposal delivers a legacy public-realm cross-block link, permanently secured for community use, transforming an existing private easement into a safe, high-quality pedestrian connection between the Teneriffe heritage riverwalk and the Gasworks–Long Island precinct,” the planning report states.

The laneway will sit beneath a large subtropical loggia integrated into the podium levels of the development. The design incorporates deep landscaping, water gardens, lobby spaces, business lounges, and ground-floor apartments to create what Cavcorp describes as a climate-responsive “urban verandah.”

The tower itself has been designed as a slender form with recessed floorplates and curved translucent corners inspired by contemporary Japanese architecture. The building height aligns with the Commercial Road precinct controls, which permit towers up to 15 storeys within proximity to Longland Street.

The project will comprise a mix of larger-format apartments aimed at owner-occupiers, downsizers, and families. The proposed apartment mix includes 11 loggia apartments across the lower levels, 50 four-bedroom Sky-Terrace apartments from levels three to seven, and 32 Sky-Pool Homes occupying the upper tower levels. The Sky-Pool Homes will feature private thermal plunge pools integrated into oversized balconies.

According to the application, the apartments are intended to reinterpret the scale and character of Teneriffe’s woolstore conversions and Queensland homes within a vertical residential format.

“The sky-pool homes build on Cavcorp’s previous projects and introduce a distinct apartment typology to Teneriffe, informed by both local and international precedent and responding to an identified market demand for enhanced safety, space and amenity,” the planning submission notes.

A major focus of the proposal is its five-level wellness and lifestyle offering, extending from the basement through to the rooftop.

Amenities proposed include a rooftop Swim &amp; Racquet Club with a 25-metre Olympic lap pool and tennis court, coworking spaces and libraries, golf simulators, wine storage, concierge facilities, business lounges, pet wash areas, and rooftop longevity-focused wellness spaces with spas, outdoor fitness zones, and landscaped terraces.

All parking will be concealed within basement levels accessed from Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the deep-basement engineering approach allows the entire ground plane to prioritise landscaping, pedestrian movement, and active frontage rather than vehicle infrastructure.

The development continues Cavcorp’s concentration in Newstead and Teneriffe, where the Brisbane developer has delivered a number of apartment projects including Lucent, Le Bain, and Luminare, as well as the Long Island Wellness Precinct nearby. Several of those projects have received national design and architecture awards, including recognition under Brisbane’s “Buildings that Breathe” program.

Focus Group Investments has lodged plans for a new apartment development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/64-70-hanover-street-fitzroy-vic-3065">64–70 Hanover Street</a> in Fitzroy, seeking to utilise the Victorian Government’s recently introduced Great Design Fast Track pathway to accelerate approvals for the project.

The proposal is among the latest developments to emerge through the state-led initiative, which was established to fast-track well-designed residential projects in activity centres and transport-connected inner-city locations. The pathway allows qualifying developments that meet elevated design and housing benchmarks to bypass traditional council planning timeframes and instead be assessed directly by the Department of Transport and Planning.

Designed by SJB, the development will comprise a mix of apartments above activated lower levels, with a strong focus on architectural articulation, landscaping, and communal amenity. The design response seeks to balance the industrial character of Richmond’s former warehouse precincts with a more contemporary residential form.

<img alt="First look: Focus Group Investments taps Victoria’s Great Design Fast Track for Richmond apartments" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="abea51cc-d85b-479e-9aef-a589f3b37ca7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/ground.png?VersionId=e1Kf8EyPWwyiVumtqQ4rM5S4GpOR3CCz" />

Proposed are 63 new dwellings, a wide ranging mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, and townhouses and duplexes. They will be spread across a part-three, part-eight storey building.

The Planning and Urban Context Report by Tract says the development is of an "exemplary architectural standard" and has been carefully crafted by SJB Architects.

"Dwellings&nbsp;will benefit from excellent access to natural light, cross-ventilation opportunities and extensive communal space," the report noted.

The architectural material highlights the project’s integration of landscaped elements and communal spaces throughout the building. The proposal also incorporates sustainability initiatives aligned with the Victorian Government’s push for higher-performing apartment developments under the fast-track program.

The Great Design Fast Track was unveiled by the Victorian Government in 2024 as part of a broader housing supply strategy aimed at accelerating the delivery of new homes. Projects assessed through the pathway must demonstrate high-quality architecture, sustainability outcomes, and housing diversity while being located close to public transport and existing infrastructure.

Focus Group, founder and led by Paul De Lutiis, is increasingly active across Melbourne’s inner suburbs, targeting well-connected urban renewal locations suited to medium and higher-density residential development. The Fitzroy proposal continues that strategy, leveraging the area’s strong transport links, established retail amenity, and proximity to the CBD.

Fitzroy has been one of the most popular spots for developers and buyers in recent years. The likes of PACE Development Group, SMA Projects, Crema Group and Chapter Group, currently selling projects in the suburb.
