We’ve rebranded Urban to <a href="http://apartments.com.au">Apartments.com.au</a>.

This marks the start of a new chapter—one focused on improving the way Australia’s off-the-plan apartment market works for both buyers and developers.

The core problem we’re solving hasn’t changed: it’s still too hard for buyers to access reliable, easy-to-understand information about new developments. Our platform is the only one in Australia that includes every off-the-plan apartment project, not just the ones that pay to be listed.

But we realised the brand “Urban” didn’t clearly reflect what we do or the impact we want to make.

“Apartments.com.au” is easier to remember, and it says exactly what we’re about: helping Australians find and buy new apartments.

The rebrand is also about scale. We want to make a bigger impact—unlocking more housing supply by making the process more transparent, and by helping quality developers connect with serious buyers.

This change doesn’t affect your experience as a subscriber. In fact, it’s part of our ongoing investment in better technology, smarter content, and more powerful tools to support your property journey.

We’re just getting started.

Why we rebranded Urban to Apartments.com.au

<a href="/new-apartments/park-modern-south-melbourne-1-middleton-lane-vic-3205">Park Modern</a> isn’t just a project for Tim Price - it’s a passion piece.&nbsp;

Located in South Melbourne’s prestigious Domain precinct, the development represents years of planning, site amalgamation, and deep connection to place.

I recently had the opportunity to sit&nbsp;down with Tim Price, Founder and Director of <a href="/developers/time-place">Time &amp; Place</a>, to explore the vision and design ethos behind Park Modern—an ambitious new $500 million mixed-use development overlooking Melbourne’s iconic Botanic Gardens.

<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/45wmGXBHsI8?si=x3XdnycJ0nNbNteT" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

Price says the team is "very excited about this one."

“As a business, we have been investing in both the real estate design and the development of this for about five to six years," Price says.

Park Modern, which will home 243 apartments, sits on a prize 2,398 sqm block bordering&nbsp;Dorcas Street, Wells Street, and Middleton Lane. Importantly, it integrates residential amenity with retail, wellness, and community connection.

<img alt="Park Modern" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="859906cc-bb07-404b-a891-70fb1afb7f3f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-06-24%20at%202.12.50%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=adAJ9uUY2ZST94I6TxRe1VU8fS46PLp6" />

“The Domain precinct of Melbourne is a special place from a residential point of view,” Price notes.

“I feel like I know this area really, really well… you’ve actually got to work through exactly what it is that people are really going to be interested in living in.”

A distinctive feature of Time &amp; Place’s design process is how Price envisions future residents by placing himself in different life stages. This mindset helps shape a product that is both aspirational and grounded in real-life usability.

<img alt="Time &amp; Place" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6196209c-1e5d-4a18-b4ef-79041cf4d510" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/TIME11625_Park%20Modern_EL01_Superman%20View%20to%20CBD.jpg?VersionId=F3HaCqN_OmAr57RjxByvkWJy0hHUND8F" />

“There’s a large portion of the building which is designed for an owner-occupier. That’s not always about downsizing. Sometimes it’s just about creating a space which is easily maintained, lock up and leave, reflecting people’s aspirations,” he says.

The building design reflects this philosophy with generous living areas, big dining spaces for entertainers, and open terraces—elements that cater to the “sticky” nature of long-term residents. He compared the design by Bates Smart to The Melburnian, a nearby St Kilda Road landmark designed by Bates Smart.

“If you look at the turnover in The Melburnian building… they’re very sticky. People love living there. It’s a combination of the quality of the building and also the location.”

<img alt="Time" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f536bdee-0a63-4bb9-8648-4be2a6f49d8e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/TIME11625_Park%20Modern_EL03_3Bed%20Residences%20Balcony%20Level%204%20-%2017.jpg?VersionId=df9c0elD7xrZn0oEnWJT4z1TAYVCMBeG" />

&nbsp;

Park Modern will feature two sculptural towers joined by a central garden bridge, resting on a podium. This layout not only maximises view lines to the park and the bay, but also reinforces a “village-style” living concept—where connectivity, wellness, and walkability are prioritised.

In keeping with post-pandemic living priorities, the ground floor of Park Modern will dedicate space to wellness and flexibility. Instead of traditional large-format pools, the development will feature plunge pools, magnesium pools, Finnish saunas, and daybeds. There’s also a co-working space and a studio offering for pilates and cardio workouts.

“We’ve got an element which is really dedicated to wellness… really focusing on if we were living in this space and enjoying the benefits of adjacency to areas to run and exercise.”

The entrance experience, too, is designed to impress, pulling in elements of the gardens through beautiful landscaping, concierge service, and a thoughtfully integrated porte-cochère.

With sales set to commence later in 2025 and construction to follow, Park Modern is poised to become a defining project for Time &amp; Place and for Melbourne’s city fringe.

Inside Park Modern, South Melbourne: Five minutes with Time & Place Founder Tim Price

The Southern Gold Coast continues to attract buyers seeking sun and surf, especially downsizers and lifestyle-driven investors shifting away from traditional beachfront palaces toward more approachable, flexible apartment living.&nbsp;

In Market Insights EP 97, Apartments.com.au CEO Mike Bird sits down with <a href="/project-marketer/srq-projects">SRQ</a>’s Nicholas Clydsdale to unpack this transformation, why demand is soaring in places like Rainbow Bay, and how developers are navigating a more measured but still highly competitive market.

<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/EnQKE8rDgNw?si=jiuP4tUafnO0WTNX" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

Clydsdale says the post-COVID real estate wave reshaped both buyer behaviour and developer strategies in Southeast Queensland.

“What we saw was that the prime beachfront market was very well serviced,” he explains. “A lot of developers from the south, along with a lot of interstate migrants, decided to bring forward their retirement plan or alter their lifestyle. They wanted to live on the beach in the Gold Coast.”

But now, the focus has shifted toward “A-minus” product—still beach-adjacent but more accessible in price.

“We’re seeing a real resurgence in the A-minus market,” Clydsdale says. These are typically two or three-bedroom residences, ideal for buyers who want flexibility.

“It’s a lock and leave holiday home, but they might also want to let it out in a holiday-let style business.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109905 project_image_fid=209094]

SRQ’s work with Brisbane-based developer <a href="/developers/chapter-two">Chapter Two</a> on the <a href="/new-apartments/holm-rainbow-bay-44-50-eden-avenue-coolangatta">Holm Rainbow Bay</a> project illustrates how developers are responding to the market’s evolving preferences.

The project was launched around two and a half years ago, at a time there were no builders.

"The market was quite chaotic," Clydsdale recalls.

Instead of pushing ahead under pressure, Chapter Two and SRQ paused the release, reframed the project, and later re-entered the market. Six months after starting construction, the project is now over 80 per cent sold.

Holm consists of 87 two and three-bedroom apartments and a handful of four-bedroom townhouses, designed by Plus Architecture.

Crowning the 12-level building will be a residents' club featuring a 25-metre rooftop pool, spa, sauna, steam room, yoga deck, outdoor dining area with barbecue facilities, and a fire pit.

Additional features will include a gymnasium, a work-from-home area, a library, and a function room.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109905 project_image_fid=209099]

Another emerging trend, Clydsdale says, is longer-term planning from buyers. Rather than making immediate moves, many are purchasing apartments off-the-plan with two to three-year completion horizons.

“What we've seen is a specific trend in the last six months is buyers - whether they're in Brisbane, Sydney, or Victoria - come up and do two or three holidays and hone in on the area. Rather than going the whole hog and selling the house, they'll buy a two-bedroom or a smaller three-bedroom apartment and look forward to take delivery in two or three years."

These buyers often retain their existing homes while gradually preparing for a future relocation to Southeast Queensland. For some, the timeline from purchase to full relocation may stretch to a decade.

Clydsdale highlights southern coastal areas such as Burleigh, Palm Beach, Coolangatta, and Rainbow Bay, as well as northern New South Wales towns like Kingscliff and Cabarita, as current areas of strong buyer interest.

He adds that projects in the range of 20 to 150 apartments are striking the right balance.

“From a buyer’s point of view, it's not just investment stock. They’re more livable. But also from a delivery point of view and a risk point of view for a buyer, there are a lot more builders out there in that project size. There's a lot more certainty of delivery and of quality.”

SRQ's next project to launch is <a href="/new-apartments/the-frederick-2265-2267-gold-coast-highway-mermaid-beach-qld-4218">The Frederick at Nobbys Beach</a>&nbsp;by <a href="/developers/big-projects">Big Projects</a>.

Gold Coast buyers starting to think longer-term: Five minutes with SRQ Projects Director Nick Clydsdale

There arguably hasn’t been as much national—or even international—fanfare for a Gold Coast apartment development as there has been for the recent launch of <a href="/new-apartments/pescado-palm-beach-228-230-jefferson-lane-palm-beach-qld-4221">Pescado</a> in Palm Beach.

The project is being undertaken by international DJ Paul Fisher and his wife Chloe. The couple, who have just launched YLB Property Development, intend to make the two-level penthouse their base when they’re back in Australia.

The remaining six levels will each comprise a full-floor apartment, set behind a striking curved facade by locals BDA Architecture.

Beyond the fanfare of the launch, genuine interest in the apartments has been strong, according to <a href="/project-marketer/pezet-matheson">Pezet Matheson</a> Managing Director Jayde Pezet.

"Buyers may have been alerted to the project because of the broader-than-usual media coverage it received at launch, but genuine buyers look beyond that and recognise the level of finish and detail," Pezet says.

While enquiries have come from both local and interstate buyers, it's locals who are showing the most interest.

"Everyone on the Gold Coast loves Palm Beach, and Jefferson Lane is the best street in the suburb," Pezet says.

I recently caught up with Jayde to discuss the project in more detail.

<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/GNGegaz6UDQ?si=Qgrs2mQ1GVRGyNtC" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

“With this project being so important to Paul and Chloe, and being what they refer to as their forever home, they’ve looked at it and gone, ‘We are going to make this project within code.’”

The result is a low-density, high-amenity development that emphasises lifestyle and spatial quality rather than volume.

Each of the six full-floor residences spans around 325 sqm and have three bedrooms, an MPR, ocean-facing balconies, and interiors inspired by the Fishers' global travels.

All residences have access to a suite of wellness-focused communal spaces, including a pool, gym, and cold plunge facilities - features reflective of the Fishers’ personal lifestyle, which Pezet describes as “heavily wellness-oriented.”

“They're both incredibly into wellness - they eat super clean, they exercise, they ice bath - and you'll see that as a reflection in the project's amenity but also in the way they live their life,” he said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149651 project_image_fid=342046]

With prices ranging from $5.25 million to $7.1 million, Pescado is targeting a narrow but clearly defined buyer pool.

"We've still had an incredible amount of interest from baby boomers, but there have been younger people that have been inquiring also," said Pezet.

A "passion project" not to be repeated: Inside DJ Fisher's Pescado Palm Beach with Jayde Pezet

South East Queensland builder-developer <a href="/developers/gardner-vaughan-group">Gardner Vaughan Group</a> (GVG) is creating a new mixed-use village in its native Nundah, a suburb they’ve called home for decades.

Close to their heart, GVG called on community feedback during the planning and design phase of what will not only be a rare opportunity to live in a brand new apartment with doorstep retail and hospitality venues, but also their future home, as they plan to relocate their current Union Street office into the development.

The new project, <a href="/new-apartments/danby-lane-nundah-village-5-danby-lane-nundah-qld-4012">Danby Lane</a>, named after its location just across from Nundah Village shopping mall, will bring 84 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments to the heart of Nundah.

To find out more about Danby Lane, I caught up with GVG Director Sam Gardner to chat about the project.

<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/ThaxGiZS5Yw?si=9N-62LCAn2NTNt5j" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

From the outset, Gardner made it clear that Danby Lane was about more than bricks and mortar — it was about trust.

“Nundah’s probably got one of the strongest communities we've ever encountered,” Gardner said. “They like to be included or brought along on the journey of things like this.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112531 project_image_fid=320117]

Gardner described a three-year process of community engagement prior to construction, including face-to-face consultations and on-site information stalls.

“There is and remains a negative connotation behind development,” Gardner said. “There is this sense that the developer is bullying their way in, taking a piece of land and making a huge amount of profit on it. We really wanted to change that perception in Nundah.”

It’s a strategy that appears to have worked. While Nundah residents have previously voiced strong opposition to new developments in the area, Danby Lane progressed with community support.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112531 project_image_fid=340186]

&nbsp;

“We're quite proud that we've become the builder-developer of choice in Nundah,” Gardner said. “Our headquarters is currently in another building we developed 10 years ago.”

At street level, Danby Lane will include six retail and commercial tenancies. GVG is actively working to attract operators that will complement the existing neighbourhood offer.

“One of the main things we target in these sites is the walkability score, the convenience,” Gardner said. “We are doing a lot of work in the design of the retail space at the bottom of Danby to get some more slow-down restaurants included.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112531 project_image_fid=320114]

This aligns with broader trends in suburban intensification, where residential density is paired with retail amenity and improved public interface.

With 84 residential apartments atop two levels of commercial and retail space, Danby Lane is designed with a mix of buyers in mind.

GVG reports interest from a range of buyer groups, particularly downsizers and local residents seeking to remain in the area without the upkeep of a standalone home.

“We're looking at people who don't necessarily want to move out of the area that they love,” Gardner said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112531 project_image_fid=340133]

The location is also attracting buyers who travel frequently.

“Being in between the Brisbane CBD and the airport really has a good opportunity there to target people who travel a lot. We have received a number of leads and people interested in buying for that reason,” he noted.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112531 project_image_fid=340194]

Danby Lane marks the latest in a series of developments by Gardner Vaughan Group across South East Queensland.

Construction of Danby Lane is now underway, with completion anticipated in 2027.

Why Danby Lane in Nundah is more than just a project for Gardner Vaughan Group: Five minutes with Sam Gardner

As Melbourne’s population continues to grow and demand for housing intensifies, large-scale, well-connected developments close to the CBD are becoming increasingly important.&nbsp;

One project leading the charge is <a href="/new-apartments/bradmill-yarraville-355-359-francis-street-yarraville-vic-3013">Bradmill</a> in <a href="/developments/yarraville-vic-3013">Yarraville</a> — a landmark regeneration of the former denim factory site into a thriving, masterplanned neighbourhood.

I recently caught up with&nbsp;Theo Della Bosca, Development Director at <a href="/developers/frasers-property">Frasers Property</a>, for an in-depth conversation about one of Melbourne’s most anticipated communities.

<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/W9nu7DBsUHE?si=9tD9zRL7rDbHIDgU" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

Bradmill Yarraville, on an unrepeatable 26 hectares just six kilometres from the Melbourne CBD, will become a&nbsp;vibrant, walkable neighbourhood, blending heritage, sustainability, and modern convenience.&nbsp;

It will deliver up to 1,500 new homes, a mix of townhouses and apartments. The first homes being brought to market are three and four-bedroom townhouses designed by <a href="/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>, which are already attracting significant interest, <a href="/news/vic/why-families-are-flocking-to-townhouses-in-bradmill-yarraville?hash=92f39f1bd10345c973a925313699a08bdbad509d">particularly from families and downsizers</a>.

Families are drawn to the project for its variety of housing options, generous open space, proximity to quality schools, and the convenience of having a shopping centre within the community. Investors see strong potential in the area’s rental market and appreciate the low-maintenance, high-quality homes on offer. First home buyers are also showing strong interest, particularly because opportunities to purchase this level of housing so close to the city are rare.

Later stages will introduce a range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with all homes&nbsp;within the community to be fully electric, as part of Frasers Property’s commitment to sustainability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311186]

A key feature of the Bradmill masterplan is its mix of residential, retail, and lifestyle amenity — much of it set within repurposed heritage buildings.&nbsp;

The upcoming Bradmill Quarter retail precinct, which will front Francis Street and include a major supermarket, 15 specialty shops, a childcare centre, and a medical centre, will bring a convenient hub to Bradmill residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311275]

Another standout feature of the community is Bradmill Social — a resident-exclusive lifestyle precinct that will breathe new life into the site’s historic buildings.&nbsp;

“We’ve got a proofing house down there which will be converted to a wellness centre that will feature a yoga Pilates space, gym, pool, sauna, spa, outdoor barbecue area, basketball half court — so it’s got it all going on,” Theo says.&nbsp;

The iconic boiler house, a well-known landmark in Melbourne’s inner west visible from the West Gate Freeway, is set to be transformed into a vibrant lifestyle hub. The space will include areas for children’s play, a cinema, media and co-working spaces, lounge and dining facilities, bookable rooms for family events, an outdoor barbecue terrace, a community garden, and even dog-washing facilities — offering a wide range of amenities designed to foster connection and convenience for future residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134727 project_image_fid=311286]

Green space is also central to the project’s design, with an open space reserve threading through the community from west to east and connecting directly to the expansive 18.5-hectare McIvor Reserve.

Bradmill is being delivered in stages, with <a href="/builders/figurehead-construction">Figurehead Construction</a> currently working on stage one. Residents are expected to move into the first townhouses&nbsp;before Christmas.

Everything a buyer needs to know about Bradmill Yarraville: Five minutes with Frasers Property Development Director Theo Della Bosca

Masterplan development experts Capital Corporation has revealed <a href="/new-apartments/the-residences-at-wahroonga-estate-169-fox-valley-road-wahroonga-nsw-2076">Wahroonga Estate</a>, their latest masterplanned community that sets a new benchmark for contemporary living in the picturesque Upper North Shore suburb.

The first stage of the unique development - <a href="/new-apartments/the-residences-at-wahroonga-estate-169-fox-valley-road-wahroonga-nsw-2076">The Residences at Wahroonga Estate</a> - has now been released, offering a rare opportunity to experience refined apartment living in an unparalleled natural setting.

Comprising 132 apartments across three mid-rise buildings, The Residences seamlessly blend modern sophistication with lush, green surrounds. With a range of thoughtfully designed one to four-bedroom apartments, The Residences apartments cater to a diverse range of lifestyles and preferences.

We recently caught up with <a href="/developers/capital-corporation">Capital Corporation</a> Director, Jim Hunter, to discuss The Residences.

“The Residences offers the pinnacle of luxury, featuring north-facing apartments with uninterrupted views of the Australian bushland, ideally situated in the heart of one of Sydney’s most iconic suburbs," Hunter says.

<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/ZtX8JYPb_uM?si=U4ioE3CnCpsvaL1s" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

<h2>A Community Immersed in Nature</h2>

Wahroonga Estate offers a truly unique connection to nature. Residents will enjoy direct access to the Coups Creek bushland, which links to the renowned Lane Cove National Park and an extensive network of bushwalks and nature reserves.

The development also features a pet-friendly green spine, providing dedicated spaces for exercise and relaxation. Complementing the natural surrounds, over 8,000 sqm of private landscaped gardens, a BBQ pavilion, and a dedicated dog wash bay further enhance the outdoor lifestyle.

<h2>Exclusive Resident Amenities</h2>

The boutique residents’ lounge provides a sophisticated space for both relaxation and productivity. Designed with versatility in mind, it includes a boardroom-style table and kitchenette, ideal for meetings or entertaining guests.

Unsurprisingly, The Residences have already attracted strong interest, particularly from Upper and Lower North Shore locals seeking to downsize while maintaining a high standard of luxury and convenience.

Construction of The Residences is set to commence later this year, with completion anticipated by mid-2027.

<h2>The Developer</h2>

Inside the vision for Wahroonga Estate: Five minutes with Capital Corporation's Jim Hunter

The creation of Surry Hills Village, the new mixed-use residential and retail precinct at the end of Crown Street, has been an eight-year journey for developer TOGA.

The recently completed building, rising on the border of two of Sydney's most popular and trendy suburbs, replaced the former shopping centre that was locally referred to as "murder mall".

Gone is the graffiti and upside down shopping trolleys, and in its place stands one of the newest developments Surry Hills has seen in decades.

I recently caught up with TOGA's Executive General Manager of Sales, Anthony Falas, to talk about the development.

<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/94qwqVcxFBQ?si=gx8AUz0xZ7MwJPDt" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

"Our vision was to bring something new and fresh to the area," Falas said, something which TOGA has certainly delivered on.

<a href="/buildings/surry-hills-village-redfern-6-14-baptist-street-redfern-nsw-2016">Surry Hills Village</a>, a striking building by architecture firm SJB, comprises a mix of 122 apartments and The Eve Hotel Sydney hotel&nbsp;that will open its doors in late 2024.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=306336]

While being located in arguably the most convenient spot in Surry Hills given Crown Street's status as the go-to street in Sydney for hospitality, TOGA has also created Wunderlich Lane, a retail and hospitality precinct that is home to a series of hand-picked retailers, restaurants, and food purveyors which will create a vibrant local destination for the new residents and the broader community.

Most of the venues in Wunderlich Lane are approaching completion and will be welcoming patrons in December, with the rest of the precinct completing in early 2025. Wunderlich Lane will be home to 25 restaurants and all-day dining, bars, beauty, wellness, boutique retail by some of the city’s best operators, event spaces, fresh food village-style market, and creative office spaces.

Coles, Vintage Cellars, Harris Farm, QMan Barber, Blooms The Chemist and Beyond Eyecare have now opened, and they will soon be joined by Lumi Dining Group, House Made Hospitality and Olympus Dining (by the Apollo Group).

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=306321]

The understanding of the opportunity from locals in particular resulted in the majority of buyers coming from a three-kilometre radius of the development. There have however been purchases from downsizers from the suburbs who wanted to come in and live the vibrant Surry Hills/Redfern lifestyle.

TOGA purposefully created large apartments, knowing the majority of buyers would be owner-occupiers. The two-bedroom apartments, of which a handful remain, average around 85 sqm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=306329]

There are just 17 two and three-bedroom apartments and townhouses remaining, including the last remaining penthouse which was designed by SJB Director Adam Haddow who was influenced by his own penthouse apartment in Redfern.

TOGA, an integrated developer with a track record dating back to the early 1960s, built Surry Hills Village through its in-house construction arm.

The eight-year vision comes to life: Inside Surry Hills Village

TOGA's new apartment development, <a href="/new-apartments/the-kensington-147-151-anzac-parade-kensington">The Kensington</a>, is one of the most connected apartment developments the longstanding developer has produced in Sydney.

That's the view of Anthony Falas, who has spent the best part of a decade with TOGA across several developments in the company's long 61-year history.

The Kensington, 142 apartments currently under construction by 4.5 Star iCIRT rated builder DASCO, is located directly right outside a light rail stop, and is a short walk to the Prince of Wales Hospital and health precinct, the University of New South Wales, and Centennial Park.

I recently caught up with Anthony Falas to find out more about <a href="/new-apartments/the-kensington-147-151-anzac-parade-kensington">The Kensington</a>.

Falas says given the location, The Kensington is ideally located for both investors and owner-occupiers.

"We're getting a lot of nurses and doctors because of the health precinct, and parents purchasing for their children who are students, both local and overseas," Falas says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110959 project_image_fid=307646]

While TOGA tends to build its own developments, given their new development portfolio that includes Macquarie Rise in Macquarie Park, Surry Hills Village, and a several large commercial and hospitality projects, they've brought DASCO in to deliver The Kensington.

“It’s a win-win for the customer,” Falas said, highlighting the added assurance that both TOGA and DASCO hold iCIRT ratings.&nbsp;This certification from Equifax is increasingly recognised as a quality benchmark in the property development industry.

The apartments at The Kensington will sit above seven retail spaces, something that TOGA always incorporates into its developments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110959 project_image_fid=307645]

There are a variety of floorplans on offer at The Kensington, a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments that will cater to a wide variety of buyers.

The Kensington also offers several SOHO apartments which combine commercial and residential with dual-entry access to essentially run a business from home.

Cranes are on site and early site works have commenced. Construction of The Kensington is set to conclude in 2026.

Among the most well-connected apartment developments TOGA has produced: Inside The Kensington

There's a reason apartment developer TOGA is set to soar past delivering over 1,000 apartments in Macquarie Park.

<a href="/developers/toga-group">TOGA</a> Executive General Manager, Tony Falas, says <a href="/developments/macquarie-park-nsw-2113">the suburb</a> is incredibly well connected, with the shopping centre acting as the focal point as well as the university, hospitals, and public transport links to wider Sydney.

TOGA's latest development in Macquarie Park, following on from its successful Macquarie Central, Macquarie Green, and One Twenty Macquarie developments, is Macquarie Rise, three towers with 268 apartments above retail and commercial spaces.

I recently caught up with Tony to find out more about <a href="/new-apartments/macquarie-rise-122-herring-road-macquarie-park">Macquarie Rise</a>.

<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/s8VoqEO9zkc?si=dfIXwi38K-aTTpeM" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

Falas said they have&nbsp;focused particularly on the amenity at Macquarie Rise, as well as the quality of the finish, which they believe is the best quality in the area in the market at the moment.

"We have looked at the competition and we wanted to position ourselves at the top as far as quality is concerned, and that's been vindicated by the buyers that are coming through."

Residents will have access to a suite of amenities including a heated pool, gym, a resident lounge, karaoke room, and a bookable dining room.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89243 project_image_fid=310789]

There has been a mix of first home buyers and downsizers in the development that offers one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments.

Several of the larger apartments have been cleverly designed to offer multifunctional rooms that have sliding panels rather than traditional doors, adaptable for various uses like study or guest rooms.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89243 project_image_fid=242700]

TOGA, one of few developers to be rated a Gold Star by Equifax, has started construction on site at 122 Herring Road, a site which Falas says is difficult to replicate given it's at the top of the hill.

Construction has started and is slated for completion in mid-2027

Why TOGA likes to develop in Macquarie Park: Inside Macquarie Rise

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/aura-by-aqualand-north-sydney-168-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">AURA</a>&nbsp;doesn’t just rise over North Sydney, it redefines it. Now in its final release, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/aqualand-australia">Aqualand</a>’s $1 billion architectural statement is not just complete, but already reshaping the way people live, connect and dine in this rapidly evolving harbourside CBD.

Positioned beside the new Victoria Cross Metro Station and boasting panoramic views across Sydney Harbour, Aura’s 386 residences crown a mixed-use precinct designed with unapologetic ambition. The curvaceous sandstone-inspired form by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>, paired with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/richards-stanisich">Richard Stanisich</a>’s understated interiors, sets a design tone that’s both monumental and intimate.

At its peak, literally, the two penthouses so spectacular they command their own names; La Davina and Il Magnate. The residents are spread across the&nbsp;entire top floor, offering what many consider the most refined residences ever built in North Sydney. Designed by Richard and Kirsten Stanisich, each four-bedroom home is meticulously crafted to evoke calm, space, and permanence.&nbsp;

<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/VB70993aG-I?si=adRBlXQliYmYvaSz" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

The kitchens are fully wrapped in natural stone, with integrated Gaggenau appliances, Sub-Zero fridges, concealed sculleries, and even a zip hydro tap delivering boiling, chilled and sparkling water on demand. A linear stone fireplace anchors the open-plan living space, dividing lounge and dining zones with quiet sophistication.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=292861]

The master suite, meanwhile, feels more like a private retreat, complete with a custom stone makeup vanity, walk-through dressing area, and spa-inspired ensuite with heated stone floors, a freestanding Villeroy &amp; Boch tub, and timber veneer joinery throughout.

Kirsten Stanisich, Director of Richards Stanisich, said the penthouses offer incredible scale reflective of a single residence.&nbsp;

“We sought inspiration for these remarkable residences from the classic top-floor Parisian apartment," Stanisich said.

"We looked at what made these French apartments so elegant and found it really came down to their scale. It was ultimately this generosity of space that we used for the AURA penthouses, where we’ve designed considered rooms with deep large-scale proportions."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=310337]

Everyday living at Aura feels no less elevated. A dedicated 24-hour concierge, Technogym fitness centre, sky dining terraces, and a resort-style pool serve a lifestyle designed to rival luxury hotels.

At street level, Aqualand’s own hospitality arm, Etymon Projects, curates a precinct of LA-style bistros, Japanese fine dining, and local wine bars, all seamlessly integrated into the building’s sculptural podium.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=310337]

This final chapter, aptly dubbed The Finale, is more than a sales phase, it’s an invitation to two of the most exclusive apartments ever to be built in North Sydney.

With limited residences remaining, buyers can access curated incentives including stamp duty rebates, rental guarantees, legal fee coverage, and even $20,000 towards dining within the precinct.

From generous one-bedders to The Icons, two singular penthouses priced well into prestige territory, Aura’s offerings reflect a scale and calibre rarely seen in urban Sydney. And with move-in now immediate, this is no longer a promise of future luxury. It’s happening.

Aqualand unveils penthouse collection at AURA By Aqualand in North Sydney

There’s no sign of the development wave that began several years ago slowing along Old Burleigh Road.

Around 10 new apartment developments are either underway or preparing to launch along the 800-metre strip stretching from the southern edge of Surfers Paradise towards the heart of Broadbeach, collectively adding just shy of 1,000 new apartments to the beachfront corridor.

The latest plans propose a further 30 apartments to replace an original six-unit walk-up on a 658 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/20a-old-burleigh-road-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">20A Old Burleigh Road</a>. The 14-storey building has been designed by Ferro Chow Architecture, which recently joined the Elevation Architecture Group.

The developer behind the project is Geoffrey Booth, whose Future Liv In has focused on delivering rental accommodation across regional Australia.

<img alt="Old Burleigh Road" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="99d393e7-d404-43bc-80cb-6255c39b83d6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-01-05%20at%2012.28.44%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ZFT8F3mOny4M4ut.kFF3woC9WH9oR5gT" />

The Old Burleigh Road development will comprise 18 two-bedroom apartments, 10 three-bedroom apartments, and a single four-bedroom residence occupying the entirety of level 12. Above, the building will be crowned by a two-storey penthouse with its own private lift, several multi-purpose rooms, and two rooftop terraces — one featuring a puppy lawn and spa, the other offering a private swimming pool, sunset deck, and built-in barbecue.

Resident amenities will be located on the second level and include a pool with adjoining spa, cabana, and pool deck, along with an indoor residents’ lounge featuring a bar and an alfresco barbecue kitchen.

In the architectural statement submitted by Elevation Architecture, the project is referred to as “UMI”, which the firm says has been “inspired by the majestic hinterlands and shaped by the coastal climate”.

“It is an exemplar of how community living can still feel at one with nature, breathable, and deeply connected in place,” the architects noted.

They added that the site benefits from established building separation to adjoining towers, helping to maintain privacy, sunlight, and residential amenity, while still offering direct beach access within an urban setting.

“Drawing inspiration from the Gold Coast hinterlands and the region’s natural landscape, the podium and tower detail highlights the contrasting elements of treetop green and cliff-face peach. The vibrant texture and materiality shaped by time has a richness in depth and character.”

Old Burleigh Road has become a hotspot for developers, with the three-tower Jewel development kickstarting a wave of projects up and down the strip when it was completed in 2020.

Currently under construction and approaching completion is <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/faro-broadbeach-123-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">FARO Broadbeach</a> by 5Point and Bottega, 21 large-scale half- and full-floor apartments. 5Point is also behind the recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lumara-108-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">Lumara</a>, another 37 apartments to add to the pipeline.

Luxury builder GRAYA is progressing construction on <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/enclave-by-graya-118-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">Enclave</a>, its first Gold Coast tower, while Polycell remains the most active developer on the street. They are preparing to launch <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sandpiper-broadbeach-155-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">Sandpiper</a>, a 50-storey redevelopment of the former Sandpiper Holiday Resort that will deliver around 200 apartments alongside extensive resident amenity. The group also has another 130-apartment project approved nearby, as does <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/dvb-approved-for-second-broadbeach-apartment-development">Dean Gallagher’s DVB Projects</a>.

First look: Old Burleigh Road apartment development wave continues

Sunshine Coast developer Habitat Development Group continues to position itself as one of the region’s largest new apartment developers.

Its latest project is in Maroochydore, where it is currently delivering <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-millwell-2-millwell-road-east-maroochydore-qld-4558">The Millwell</a>. Adjacent to the new 53-hectare Maroochydore City Centre project, Habitat is planning a further 180 apartments on a 3,468 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/132-136-aerodrome-road-maroochydore-qld-4558">132–136 Aerodrome Road</a>. The site was purchased with approval for a smaller 13-storey, 103-unit building.

Habitat will demolish the two existing retail centres, currently home to the Salvation Army Family Store and Neighbours Aid, and replace them with an 18-storey building featuring the significant rooftop amenities that have become a hallmark of Habitat developments in recent years. The rooftop will include both indoor and outdoor spaces, anchored by an infinity swimming pool.

<img alt="Maroochydore" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ad434d07-666b-4614-b33e-530ad6a2d261" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-01-05%20at%2010.12.33%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7pyLsPWKQuwv0us3_v.9DmbzEc2VZe9Z" />

There will be a mix of one- to four-bedroom apartments.

The Development Assessment Report, submitted to the Sunshine Coast Council, says the proposal&nbsp;is not speculative, but a response to both zoning intent and demonstrated housing need.

“The proposed development represents an appropriate and logical intensification of the site, consistent with the planning framework and the intended urban outcomes for the locality.”

Across the Sunshine Coast, councils are increasingly scrutinising not just height or yield, but whether new projects genuinely align with the long-term structure plans underpinning growth corridors. The&nbsp;ASTP Planning Report&nbsp;reinforces the approach, noting that the project has been shaped around site responsiveness rather than generic typology.

“The development has been designed to respond to the physical constraints and opportunities of the site, while delivering a high-quality residential outcome that integrates with the existing and emerging urban context.”

<img alt="Habitat" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3a03fc54-4ca5-4868-88d0-eeced70604e2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-01-05%20at%2010.12.28%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=1pkK3lJrrZjkghTLBReM2zatcas4Nc4B" />

In mid-2025, Habitat, a developer that also builds its own projects, commenced construction on The Millwell, located just over one kilometre from the new proposal. The Millwell will comprise more than 200 apartments across two eight-storey buildings.

Habitat also has two projects on Lake Kawana in Birtinya: <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/st-clair-birtinya-930-931-waterside-retreat-birtinya-qld-4575">St Clair</a>, a 200-unit, two-building development launched last year and set to welcome buyers this year; and Esperance, a 175-apartment project currently progressing through the development approval process.

John Camilleri, the breeder of legendary racehorse Winx, is set to deliver a landmark two-tower beachfront development that would redefine the Surfers Paradise skyline.

Camilleri, who spent around $100 million acquiring development sites across the Gold Coast in 2025, has lodged plans for two new towers on the dress-circle stretch of Garfield Terrace, just two days before Christmas.

In assembling the site, Camilleri's Celestino Developments has effectively acquired the 71 Garfield project by Iris Capital and AALTO by Weiya Holdings, creating an unrivalled <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/63-79-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">4,000 sqm beachfront holding along Garfield Terrace</a>.

The proposal comprises two residential towers of 55 and 48 storeys, linked by a dramatic skybridge which will home “exclusive VIP and wellness amenities.”

In total, the development would deliver 275 two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments across the two towers, rising above a shared landscaped podium that incorporates a central green space and a beachfront swimming pool stretching more than 90 metres.

<img alt="DBI" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="097900f3-6bef-4919-b168-b08f2f762876" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.37.58%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=et0SpmcvaPPVrexI_zWi46BVFtZBxAzx" />

Architecture firm DBI, in documents submitted to Gold Coast City Council, said the project at 63–79 Garfield Terrace would “establish a new benchmark for beachfront residential living on the Gold Coast.”

"The project occupies a rare, uninterrupted oceanfront site and has been shaped by a design philosophy that merges architectural elegance with environmental responsiveness and a carefully curated lifestyle experience. Together, the 48-storey North Tower and 55-storey South Tower form a distinctive twin-tower composition whose dynamic silhouette will make a significant contribution to the Surfers Paradise skyline."

DBI said the architectural language draws inspiration from the fluidity and movement of the coastal landscape.

"Each tower is defined by organic, curving forms and continuous balcony ribbons that wrap the buildings, providing deep shading, enhancing environmental performance, and reinforcing the rhythmic, sculptural expression of the façade. These balcony forms also reduce the apparent mass of the towers while maintaining strong visual continuity from podium to summit. Sculpted reflective downturns run along the western spine of both towers, shifting and lifting as they extend upwards to frame service zones and open eastward to maximise ocean views."

<img alt="Garfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a2a00ce3-a0e9-45d6-b4b5-b7baed592ac5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.53.40%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=DnruWV1dhLrtXOeElwekyd7vPq2gw55t" />

The project’s most striking feature is the skybridge at level 45, which will house executive lounges, formal dining spaces, wellness facilities and panoramic ocean-facing views.

“The skybridge enhances the identity of the development, promotes social interaction, and delivers a lifestyle experience not found elsewhere on the Gold Coast,” DBI added.

The podium will host an extensive suite of recreational amenities, including resident lounges, private dining rooms, a large open green lawn, and the signature 90-metre pool stretching along the beachfront. The pool is divided into lap, lounge and children’s zones.

The southern end of the podium will accommodate additional wellness facilities, including a gymnasium, plunge pools, treatment rooms and a dedicated yoga lawn.

<img alt="Garfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ee1b4f25-231f-4804-83b1-a573a1481962" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.55.47%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=zObzIA3D5w7EwqPsHjr2pKrA4vbB28zL" />

There will be 127 apartments in the North Tower and 148 in the South Tower, including multiple penthouses, while the Enderley Avenue and Oceanway frontages will be activated by a series of food and beverage tenancies.

Camilleri emerged as the most active site acquirer on the Gold Coast in 2025. He spent just over $30 million acquiring Pacific Point, a 10-level Surfers Paradise apartment block and an adjoining three-level duplex, from fellow racing identity and Aquis billionaire Tony Fung. Plans are now underway for a 93-apartment, 40-storey tower on the 1,682 sqm site.

He also paid $53.65 million for the 1,500 sqm Garfield Terrace site previously marketed as AALTO by Weiya Holdings, before acquiring the adjoining parcel from hotel billionaire Sam Arnaout’s Iris Capital, the developer behind V&amp;A Broadbeach.

The Melbourne-based HLA Group is the latest developer to expand into South East Queensland, lodging plans for a unique mixed-use short-term accomodation and apartment building in Taringa, with the building design inspired by the Glasswing Butterfly.

The development application for 10 Morrow Street seeks approval for a total of 232 dwellings, comprising 116 residential apartments and 116 short-stay accommodation units. The build-to-sell residential component is made up of 31 one-bedroom apartments, 67 two-bedroom apartments, 17 three-bedroom apartments, and a single four-bedroom apartment, offering a diverse mix aimed at singles, couples, families, and downsizers.

<img alt="Taringa" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="33913cd4-9839-4456-b325-d35b3f8b4694" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.40.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=sLvc7jUrYzDwqPDZBPrXTosKHDSp.qrt" />

Designed by Ellivo Architects, the tower takes strong inspiration from nature, with the architectural language driven by one of Queensland’s most delicate species. As described in the planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council, Ellivo Architects state the design is “inspired by the elegance of the Glasswing butterfly," and mirrors the graceful sweep of its wings, a form that feels light, fluid, and alive.

“Lush subtropical greenery is throughtfull woven throughout, transforming the building into a sanctuary in the heart of the city.”

The proposal positions the building as more than a conventional residential tower, with Ellivo Architects describing 10 Morrow Street as “an urban oasis that blends short term accomodation with residential living. A destination for rest, relaxation, and renewal.”

<img alt="Taringa" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="84e9a0ff-464e-4973-bffe-5d5a8fe9f087" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.40.32%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dhX9eVgUaQE2TvCzJPhF8N8_hzYSKpyK" />

Formally, the building’s massing and floorplate are directly shaped by its butterfly inspiration. Ellivo explain that, “adopting the wings of the Glasswing Butterfly, the tower's plan is divided into four distinct quadrants, each shaped to mirror the wing's segmented geometry and taking the slender ‘veins’ up the facade of the tower.”

"This approach results in a sculpted tower form with articulated façades and a strong vertical expression."

<img alt="Taringa" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5947011d-ff6c-4a57-bdc1-9072a472a79c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.40.29%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=nnGqd4WCZM8AOJZY.c3u49BO4LurKRhb" />

The Assessment Report by Human Habitats said the 19-storey tower capitalises on its strategic connectivity and prominence at the entrance of Taringa Village and adjoining the Taringa Station.

"The proposal offers a significant revitalisation of the subject site that integrates architectural excellence, innovation, and sustainable design to directly address long-standing connectivity and safety challenges, housing supply , and diversity together with enhanced streetscape activation and convenient access to major transport corridors."

HLA Group Australia is registered to South Yarra and is currently delivering Adamson No.5, just 15 luxury apartments that start from around $2 million.&nbsp;
