Queensland-based developer&nbsp;Holm Developments&nbsp;is gearing up to break ground on Kai Kingscliff, its second venture in the Tweed Coast and the first luxury beachfront project of its kind underway in the region.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Demolition has officially commenced on the site of <a href="/new-apartments/kai-kingscliff-9-11-murphys-road-kingscliff-nsw-2487">Kai Kingscliff</a>, paving the way for the start of construction next month.&nbsp;

Kai Kingscliff is Holm’s second venture in the area following the $79 million <a href="/buildings/pama-casuarina-5-grand-parade-casuarina">Pama</a> in <a href="/new-apartments/casuarina-nsw-2487">Casuarina</a> which is 95 per cent sold and due for completion in the third quarter of this year.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141858 project_image_fid=239470]

Start of demolition for Kai follows the appointment of Infinitec, a multi-disciplined construction and engineering company with more than 40 years’ of experience, as a contract builder for the project. 
&nbsp; 
“We’re thrilled to announce that early works are officially underway on our second project on the Tweed Coast,” Holm Developments Managing Director Godfrey Esmonde said.

“With sales on the board and funding in place, our team is now moving quickly to bring this exciting new project to Kingscliff as soon as possible, with construction anticipated to get underway next month in April.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141858 project_image_fid=239469]

Nestled along the pristine shores of Dreamtime Beach, just north of the <a href="/new-apartments/kingscliff-nsw-2487">Kingscliff</a> strip, Kai Kingscliff comprises 14 three and four-bedroom beachfront apartments, topped by three spacious penthouses that will make the most of the rare beachfront location.

One of the penthouses is spoken for, picked up by a local for $4.65 million.

The project also features three ground-floor apartments, all of which have either a front or rear yard and span between 332 spm and 447 sqm.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141858 project_image_fid=239472]

“For us as a company, we need to be passionate about what we deliver and where it’s delivered, nothing invokes that passion more than iconic locations such as Kingscliff,” Esmonde added. 
&nbsp; 
“When people look at our projects to date, they will see developments where the natural beauty and amenity of the location does the talking for us. 
&nbsp; 
“I want our projects to enhance these locations but not overpower, the star of the show shouldn’t be the development or the developer, it should be the combination of the architecture and interior design blending seamlessly with the natural environment to create a truly remarkable outcome enjoyed by the few lucky enough to reside in such a location.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141858 project_image_fid=239482]

CBRE Senior Director Nicholas Clysdale said Holm engaged&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a>&nbsp;architecture firm <a href="/architects/tim-stewart">Tim Stewart Architects</a>&nbsp;to tailor a design that maximises this sensation of having the rainforest and beach elements at your fingertips. 
&nbsp; 
“Kai Kingscliff is the quintessential coastal address for a life that nourishes the soul. Situated just a stone’s throw from Kingscliff village, this boutique offering sits on the cusp of Dreamtime beach and offers the very best in penthouse-style living," Clysdale said.

“The sheer size and sophistication of these spaces sets these apartments apart. Large balconies, massive doors that open into the dining room, crossflow ventilation throughout, balconies off the master bedrooms that look out into the hinterland, wherever you look there is a fantastic outlook.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141858 project_image_fid=239473] 
&nbsp; 
Residents will also have exclusive access to a resort-style pool and leisure area on the ground floor, which will also feature an outdoor shower, a well-appointed lobby and a bike and surfboard storage area.

"The allure of Kai Kingscliff extends far beyond the bricks and mortar," Clydsdale added.&nbsp;

He said the penthouse buyer&nbsp;fell in love with its location on Dreamtime beach.

"Sitting at the foot of the rainforest and flowing onto the beach, there is no comparable location in Northern NSW or <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>.”&nbsp;

Prices for apartments start from $3.505 million.

Tallawong apartment development with Latent Defect Insurance launched

There's plenty of activity in the new development space heading into 2024.

While there's a significant number of developments which are set to launch when they secure council approvals, there's also those that have weathered a number of storms in the industry in the last few years, from COVID and its lockdowns to construction costs and labour shortages, and are set to complete in 2024.

We've cast our eye across <a href="/new-townhouses/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a> and looked at the best off the plan apartment developments set to finish construction in 2024.&nbsp;

<h2>Project: Aura by Aqualand</h2>

<h3>Location: North Sydney</h3>

<h3>Developer: Aqualand</h3>

Aqualand is estimating a mid-2024 completion for its luxury North Sydney apartment development, AURA by Aqualand.

Topping out last year, Aqualand's in house construction team Aqualand Construction, is progressing the internal fit out of each of the 386 apartments. The apartments will sit above a two-level podium with a number of retail and commercial spaces which will activate the Walker Street streetscape.

True to delivering projects that will last, Aqualand has&nbsp;engaged a third party to undertake a peer review on quality assurance once the fit-out is complete, giving buyers even more assurances of a quality build.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=218005]

Designed by <a href="/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>, <a href="/buildings/aura-by-aqualand-north-sydney-168-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">AURA by Aqualand</a> features an elegantly curved and undulating facade which creates an illusion that the single structure is divided into four separate towers, with staggered peaks stepping down from level 29 to level 23. The distinctive hourglass shape cinches in at the level-nine ‘waist’ of the building, where the resident’s community centre is located.

AURA by Aqualand’s extensive retail precinct will provide residents with a curated shopping and dining destination on their doorstep, including a providore, bakery, café and wine bar, an all-day diner and a contemporary Japanese restaurant. A network of landscaped laneways will welcome people into the precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=202657]

Other resident amenities include a 24-hour concierge service, a Technogym-equipped gymnasium, a wellness room, a pool of Tesla cars to share, and end-of-trip facilities. A glamorous rooftop area offers a sky sun deck, private dining rooms, barbecue and kitchen space for year-round al fresco entertaining.

AURA represents the fifth residential project delivered by Aqualand since the company’s launch in 2014. It is well on the way to joining a portfolio of other notable completed projects, such as <a href="/buildings/blue-at-lavender-bay-61-lavender-street-milsons-point">BLUE at Lavender Bay</a> in <a href="/developments/milsons-point-nsw-2061">Milsons Point</a> and <a href="/buildings/the-revy-pyrmont-8-darling-island-road-pyrmont">The REVY</a> at Darling Island.

Prices start at $580,000 at the Garthowen Crescent project which has also attracted first home buyers, upsizers, and even investors have purchased apartments due to the surge in popularity of Castle Hill, the hub of the Hills District which is drawing attention because of the new North West Metro and Hills Showground Precinct redevelopment.

There are 37 different floor plans available at Grand Reve, with configurations ranging from studios to three-bedroom units and even a handful of split-level, townhouse-style dwellings.

Wanda Terraces, developer Platinum's residential development of only 24 apartments in the heart of Caulfield North, will rise from its Hawthorn Road location by early 2025.

Wanda Terraces has 24 two and three-bedroom apartments starting from a generous 90 sqm, ranging in size to 262 sqm. Each apartment has two bathrooms and two secure parking spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112388 project_image_fid=208645]

Inspired by the heritage and distinct character of Caulfield North's tree-lined streets, architectural practice Ewert Leaf merges classic and contemporary architectural elements and materials into an understated façade wrapped in textural elements of raw concrete, natural timber and metal accents draped in lush, cascading greenery.

"We have created a unique sense of luxury in one of Melbourne’s most desirable locations," said Ewert Leaf Director&nbsp;Cathryn Tattersall, while Will Leaf said the aim was to create a collection of homes with a point of difference and exclusivity.

Inside the Wanda Terraces apartments, residents will enjoy bespoke detailing and refined fittings, fixtures and finishes - pale oak flooring and textured stone surfaces - and cutting-edge home technology like biometric finger access and an app-enabled video intercom.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112388 project_image_fid=208647]

The apartments have an open floor layout where the oversized living, designer kitchen and dining area open into expansive private ground-floor courtyards or elevated terraces. These outdoor spaces overlook established gardens and the lush expanse of Caulfield Park.

Wanda Terraces also boast electronic parcel lockers, electric car charging stations, number plate recognition and car and dog washing amenities.

Beyond the walls of Wanda Terraces, Malvern Central, Glenferrie Road Shopping Precinct, and High Street Shopping Village are only a five-minute car ride north from the property.&nbsp;

Not often does a boutique 13-level building come to South Perth.

Developer Devwest will have one of the only mid-rise buildings in the area when they complete One Richardson in mid-2024.

The Richardson Street project, designed by MJA Studio, will comprise 75 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, and a handful of two-level penthouses. Over 70 per cent of the apartments have already been snapped up.

Not only is it a rare offering given its size, it's also the location that makes One Richardson stand out. The project&nbsp;fronts an expansive public open space, offering a unique blend of park-facing apartments and unobstructed river views - a rare feature typically associated with high-rise developments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7809 project_image_fid=203876]

Positioned above a ground-floor cafe and a welcoming resident's lobby, each apartment has been thoughtfully designed to cater to various lifestyles and buyer preferences.

Every apartment features open-plan living spaces that optimise natural light, accompanied by spacious balconies that offer a vantage point for taking in the surrounding views.&nbsp;

The kitchen features quality appliances, ample countertop space, soft-close doors, and other practical details.&nbsp;

Designer bathrooms are appointed with quality finishes, fostering a relaxing atmosphere.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7809 project_image_fid=230555]

Conveniently located at the intersection of Richardson Street and Melville Parade, One Richardson provides sweeping views of the Swan River from the spacious residents-only lounge deck on the third floor, with barbecue facilities and lush landscaping.

The development is equipped with an on-site solar PV system, communal EV charging bays within the car park, EV-ready infrastructure with options to purchase a private EV charger, super-fast broadband, and discounted electricity.

Buyers at One Richardson currently qualify for the new WAStamp Duty Concession, offering up to a 75% reduction in stamp duty costs, capped at $50,000* during the construction phase.

Devwest to bring rare boutique apartment building to South Perth

Joint venture partners Thomas Constructions and QB Constructions have completed their boutique Brighton apartment development, 32 Black Street.

The builder developers have put the finishing touches on the three-level building designed by Architecture Works. It has just six two-bedroom apartments and two penthouses.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108268 project_image_fid=219007]

Off the plan buyers have moved into the project, which is just five minutes from the Middle Brighton train station. Only two apartments remain for sale. The two-bedroom penthouse priced from $2.25 million.

Each apartment in 32 Black Street was designed with a spacious open-plan living area with a gas fireplace, a fully-equipped kitchen featuring top of the range Miele appliances, a study room, and expansive balconies looking back to the Melbourne skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108268 project_image_fid=219009]

The location of 32 Black Street is undoubtedly one of its most appealing features, offering residents easy access to attractions and amenities. Residents can conveniently shop and dine in the upscale shops and restaurants along the nearby Church Street or visit Brighton Baths, Brighton Yacht Club, and the very popular Brighton Dog Beach.

Noorden Property selling agent David Lamond said the project suited those wanting to downsize in the area without needing considerable amount of space.

"A lot of the apartment product in Brighton is geared toward three bedrooms, but some downsizers don't need that amount of space. It might just be their lock up and leave, city bolthole."

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> has lodged plans for a $750 million, three-tower mixed-use precinct that would complete the long-running redevelopment of Carlton's former Carlton United Breweries site.

The proposal at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/185-195-queensberry-street-carlton-vic-3053">46-78 Bouverie Street and 185-195 Queensberry Street</a> spans a 6,468 sqm site, the last remaining undeveloped parcels within the former brewery's 2007 masterplan.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the development will comprise two purpose-built student accommodation towers and a third build-to-sell apartment tower above a shared commercial podium and basement.

Across the three towers, SP Setia is proposing 606 build-to-sell apartments and 1,499 student accommodation units containing 2,009 beds.

The apartments will sit in the tallest tower, which will rise nearly 200m and 55 storeys. It will become&nbsp;one of the more substantial new build-to-sell apartment projects at the northern edge of Melbourne's CBD.

The apartment mix is weighted toward smaller inner-city product, with 188 studios, 206 one-bedroom apartments, 192 two-bedroom apartments and 20 three-bedroom apartments

<img alt="First look: SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8271bc87-1b0a-41b7-ac73-a425ee375261" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/3_2.png?VersionId=G4lw23o90B1boX4k4dj7rdz2ZEajS9wy" />

Part of the precinct will be a large-scale&nbsp;3,684 sqm supermarket and a further 2,198 sqm of speciality retail, creating close to 5,900 sqm of new commercial space within the precinct.

But one of the biggest components of the proposal is what sits between the buildings.

Around 4,650 sqm, or roughly 72 per cent of the site, will be publicly accessible open space, incorporating plazas, pedestrian connections, landscaped laneways and retail spill-out areas.

The ground plane is intended to finally complete pedestrian connections envisaged when the CUB masterplan was first approved nearly two decades ago, stitching together Victoria Street, Queensberry Street, Bouverie Street and Swanston Street through the former brewery precinct.

Urbis said the development would "complete the CUB precinct", with the public realm providing important north-south and east-west connections through what is currently the final undeveloped portion of the masterplanned site.

SP Setia is also exploring a new linear park within the Bouverie Street road reserve, with the concept to be developed further with the City of Melbourne through the planning process.

The proposal is being pursued through the Victorian Government's Development Facilitation Program under Clause 53.23 for significant residential development with affordable housing.

The planning report acknowledges the proposed heights exceed those contemplated under the original Comprehensive Development Plan and masterplan, but argues the built-form context has changed considerably over the past two decades.

Urbis said the three towers would instead create a stepped transition between Carlton and the Hoddle Grid, rising progressively from the 94.1-metre Tower One along the Queensberry Street edge to the 199.44-metre Tower Three closer to the established CBD-scale buildings to the south.

<img alt="SP Setia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e885a07a-592c-40fc-bf82-e6dbaf32da54" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.52.24%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7s_ErUkSKAdY1mAWp3GRZgMNCGtwhk5m" />

SP Setia plans to deliver the development across three stages.

Stage One would deliver the basement, podium and retail areas for the entire precinct alongside the first student tower. Tower Two would follow in Stage Two, before the 606-apartment Tower Three is delivered as the final stage.

If approved and delivered, the project would close out a redevelopment process that has been underway since the former brewery masterplan was approved in 2007, adding more than 2,600 student beds and apartments to a precinct already home to Swanston Central, the Barak Building, RMIT Design Hub and several large student accommodation developments.

SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct

Melbourne developer Lowe Living is seeking to add to its growing bayside apartment pipeline, filing plans for a boutique eight-residence development in tightly held Middle Park.

Lowe Living, which has built much of its development portfolio across Melbourne's affluent bayside and south-east suburbs, is behind the plans for the 730 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/123-125-erskine-street-middle-park-vic-3206">123-125 Erskine Street</a>, just off Armstrong Street and within the Armstrong Street Neighbourhood Activity Centre.

The developer is seeking approval for a five-storey residential building above two basement levels, with just eight large-format apartments and 18 car spaces.

“This is a deliberately very different proposition for us,"&nbsp;Tim Lowe, Co-Founder of Lowe Living, said.

"Eight residences is exceptionally boutique, but that's precisely what this site calls for.

“There is a strong community in Middle Park and the surrounding suburbs who have spent decades building a life here. They no longer want the maintenance of a large period home, but they aren't prepared to compromise on space, quality or location. We think there is a real opportunity to capture that hyper local market. A site like this rarely comes to market.”

<img alt="Lowe " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="875fe572-0f14-4d90-9e11-55b28dd07731" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.42.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=GDNQRv9BfpR9r1zkZ5UDyUM4ZvpIksut" />

The low-density proposal has been designed by Cera Stribley and is being progressed through the Victorian Government's Great Design Fast Track pathway, having already secured eligibility from the Minister for Planning.

The Office of the Victorian Government Architect supported its eligibility after finding the proposal demonstrated consistency with the program's seven design principles, while the project's financial feasibility has also been independently confirmed by Invest Victoria.

The project is targeting the downsizer market, with the planning documents describing the homes as larger-format residences and noting the two penthouses could otherwise have been configured as four separate apartments.

<img alt="Lowe 2" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="60ab0987-2da6-4175-adac-315dcf6053c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.15%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=bOCPH0B2MFwlmaRW.TTCF9TzyifgVoQI" />

The site has dual frontage to Erskine Street and Canterbury Place and currently comprises a collection of commercial buildings used as offices, including a former heritage bakehouse, a former stable, a later gabled addition and a central courtyard.

It sits within the Commercial 1 Zone and the Armstrong Street Commercial Precinct heritage overlay, with the existing property classified as a contributory heritage place.

Heritage has subsequently played a significant role in Cera Stribley's design.

The front section of the former bakehouse facing Erskine Street will be retained, including its return walls, street-facing hipped roof and chimneys, while the Erskine Street façade and part of the western return wall of the former stable will also be incorporated into the new development.

Levels four and five will be set back five metres from the retained stable façade, while bricks removed through demolition are proposed to be salvaged and reused within the new building where possible.

<img alt="Lowe 3" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e97927a9-a2de-4a0f-83b6-65451238abfa" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.06%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VR44AChLrX9q1XPB9GvVQV.ALXXbe4gC" />

Rather than presenting as a single five-storey building to Erskine Street, Cera Stribley has broken the development into a series of distinct forms.

A three-storey infill element will sit between the retained bakehouse and stable façades, with the upper levels recessed behind the heritage fabric. Canterbury Place will similarly feature two three-storey podium forms, separated by a central pedestrian accessway, before the upper two levels step back from the street.

A pedestrian through-link will run through the centre of the project between Erskine Street and Canterbury Place, creating entrances from both sides of the site and introducing landscaping and communal areas through the ground plane.

Landscape architect Acre has designed planting across the ground level, private terraces and upper levels, including a feature canopy tree at level three and integrated planting and arbours across the level four terraces. Five existing Erskine Street trees are proposed to be retained.

Sustainability is also a significant component of the Great Design Fast Track application. The apartments are targeting an average eight-star NatHERS rating, with no residence below 6.5 stars, while the project has achieved a 75 per cent BESS score. Seven of the eight apartments are designed for cross-ventilation, with the remaining residence using mechanically assisted natural ventilation.

The plans also incorporate an 8kWp rooftop solar system, a 5,000-litre rainwater tank and infrastructure allowing future electric vehicle charging for every residence.

Lowe has a strong portfolio across Melbourne's blue-chip suburbs. They recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/jardin-house-by-lowe-living-camberwell-335-camberwell-road-camberwell-vic-3124">Jardin House by Lowe Living</a> in Camberwell, their first development in the Stonnington LGA.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dvb-projects">DVB Projects</a> is preparing to launch its second Gold Coast apartment development, with demolition now underway on the Broadbeach site as the Sydney developer moves closer to bringing the ultra-luxury project to market.

The 34-level tower at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/137-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">137 Old Burleigh Road</a> will comprise just 49 residences, ranging from half-floor apartments through to full-floor homes and a penthouse. The launch follows the strong sales performance of DVB's nearby Sea Glass development. More than half of the apartments at Sea Glass, on the other side of Broadbeach, have been snapped up, well ahead of its late 2027 completion

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2944b4be-c84e-4b54-8dc1-c712e76704c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/E02_Exterior_Street%20Level%20Entrance.jpg?VersionId=YoNig7pRdrE3HCue7sUj78LzJteeQf3H" />

The start of demolition at 137 Old Burleigh Road signals DVB Projects’ underlying confidence in the Gold Coast’s luxury beachside apartment sector.

“We see the Gold Coast as one of the most compelling lifestyle markets in Australia, particularly at the premium end where demand continues to deepen,” said Dean Brown, Managing Director of DVB.&nbsp;

“This project has been carefully designed to respond to that demand - delivering large-format residences with a level of quality, privacy and amenity that is still relatively rare in the apartment market on the beachside."

Brown says the site itself is "exceptional."

"Old Burleigh Road is one of the most tightly held beachfront strips, and opportunities to deliver a project of this scale and calibre in this location are extremely limited.”

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="398f377a-c037-455e-9250-0c5e0d84c35b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/I12_FF%20Balcony.jpg?VersionId=NwOiRWGMubR1c8wthuEfggklcja7al9." />

The project will comprise 40 half-floor residences of approximately 260 sqm, alongside eight full-floor residences spanning around 524 sqm.

A single penthouse will crown the building, featuring a private pool, barbecue area, indoor gym and dedicated entertaining spaces.

Residents will have access to a resort-style suite of amenities, including a 20-metre pool with daybeds, a gymnasium, hot and cold plunge pools, a sauna, and private residents’ lounge and dining facilities.

Sales agent Todd Matheson, of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/pezet-matheson">Pezet Matheson</a>, which is marketing both 137 Old Burleigh Road and Sea Glass, said 137 Old Burleigh Road would address a clear gap in the market for genuine luxury products.

“There are very few opportunities on the Gold Coast where buyers can secure a residence of this size and quality in a new building,” Matheson said.

“What we’re seeing is a growing cohort of downsizers and interstate buyers who still want space - they’re not willing to compromise on living area, entertaining or finishes.

“This project has been designed with that buyer in mind. It offers the scale of a home, combined with the convenience and security of apartment living, in one of the coast’s most desirable positions.”

Located on a 1,156 sqm site one block from the beachfront, the development will replace an ageing walk-up building and is expected to contribute to the ongoing transformation of the Old Burleigh Road strip into one of the Gold Coast’s most prestigious residential corridors.

With the development moving into the delivery phase, 137 Old Burleigh Road is slated to hit the market later this year.

DVB Projects to launch second Broadbeach apartment tower as demolition commences

<a data-end="327" data-is-only-node="" data-start="250" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/norus-projects" rel="noopener" target="_new">Norus Developments</a> has lodged plans for a new apartment development in Clayton that would add further momentum to the suburb's emerging Green Street corridor.

Plans have been lodged for the consolidated site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1359-1365-centre-road-clayton-vic-3168">1359-1365 Centre Road</a>, where Norus is seeking approval for 218 apartments across a 12-storey apartment building designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/life-architecture-and-urban-design">Life Architecture</a>.

The proposal sits within the Clayton Major Activity Centre at the threshold of the planned Green Street corridor, a landscaped pedestrian connection intended to improve links through the precinct towards Clayton Railway Station.

The development would replace the site's existing collection of low-scale residential and commercial buildings with a single consolidated building, introducing significantly greater housing density to this part of Centre Road.

A retail tenancy is proposed at ground level to activate the Centre Road frontage, accompanied by transparent street interfaces and landscaping intended to create a more pedestrian-focused edge to the development.

<img alt="First look: Norus Developments plans landscape-led apartment project for Clayton’s emerging Green Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0a5a763a-d9e9-4253-af2f-88008de27ebf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Clayton%20a.png?VersionId=S2WJJbat1XVkZwB9SnYtygirXgWHiklX" />

The building has been designed with stepped massing and upper-level setbacks to manage its transition towards surrounding residential properties. The planning report describes the approach as one that integrates the building into the landscape rather than treating landscaping as a secondary element.

"A strong landscape and public realm strategy underpins the proposal," Urbis states in the planning report.

"Public benefits include an affordable housing contribution, a new pocket park, generous landscaped setbacks, deep soil planting and integrated Water Sensitive Urban Design."

The report adds that these elements are intended to create "a permeable, pedestrian-focused ground plane that enhances walkability, supports urban cooling and reinforces the emerging Green Street character."

Biophilic and passive design principles extend through the residential levels, with planting, daylight, natural ventilation and views towards landscaped areas forming part of the amenity strategy.

Parking would be concentrated away from the public realm, with 145 car spaces proposed from the rear laneway rather than dominating the Centre Road frontage.

The proposal follows an extensive pre-application process with the City of Monash. Three formal meetings were held between the project team and Council from December 2025 to March 2026, with the scheme evolving through several concept iterations before the current design was lodged.

The project arrives as Clayton prepares for substantial change around its established activity centre and the wider Suburban Rail Loop precinct. Its position on Centre Road places the development within an existing concentration of shops, services and public transport, while the Green Street connection is intended to strengthen pedestrian access towards Clayton Railway Station.
