Coveting a prime Swan River-facing site, is The Pearl, an exciting new addition to the South Perth skyline. Recently we were invited to check out their brand new display suite in person, so take a look at our video tour to learn more about the development.

<h2>THE PEARL AT A GLANCE</h2>

Address:&nbsp;3 Lyall Street, South Perth 
Developer:&nbsp;<a href="/developers/prosper-living">Prosper Living</a> 
Number of residences: 132

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=9197]

Located at 3 Lyall Street, The Pearl is just a short stroll away from Mend Street precinct, minutes from South Shore Shopping Centre, and you can take the ferry across to Elizabeth Quay for an extensive array of dining options.

If you love the outdoors, you can spend your time at the Royal Perth Golf Club, exploring the Botanic Gardens, or embarking on a sunset sailing voyage navigating the picturesque Swan River. Perth CBD is only 4.4 kilometres away, plus you've got great schools, hospitals and universities nearby.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203302]

The striking design incorporates a broad selection of floorplans, ranging from one to four-bedroom apartments, plus exclusive penthouses.

Many apartments are equipped with provisions for electric car charging and landscaping plans for verdant greenery, which will see the development achieve a 5-star Green Star rating.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203307]

The architectural form of the structure, along with high-performance double glazing to the west, maximises natural cross-ventilation, reducing the need for artificial air conditioning. However, each apartment also includes a ducted split system unit, featuring a gilded linear grilles, which really elevates the space.

All kitchens are complete with designer Miele appliances – seamlessly integrated alongside ample storage. The material palette utilises luxurious porcelain stone with fluted panelling and tied together with golden accents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203309]

Each home offers the perfect open plan layout for entertaining – positioned to maximise views, no matter which aspect your apartment faces.

The design team even considered what would be most comfortable for residents with western-facing balconies and opted for additional glazing with operable windows, creating a space to be used year-round.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203304]

What I love about The Pearl bathrooms is that they have been designed not just for functionality, but to be enjoyed. It's the little details, such as the elegant lighting and the bath positioned for sunset views, that make this such a tranquil space.

The attention to detail is also evident, as you can see here that the detailing on the vanity even references the exoskeleton of the facade.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203450]

Level three of The Pearl is where you'll find your luxury amenities – and believe me when I say they're extensive. You've got state-of-the-art spaces to entertain, to relax, and to exercise.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/golden-age-group">Golden Age Group</a> has unveiled a new benchmark for wellness-led residential design, announcing the transformation of the 1867-built, heritage-listed Maritima House, into a private wellness clubhouse for residents of its flagship bayside community, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/maritima-brighton-47-south-road-brighton-vic-3186">Maritima Brighton</a>. 
&nbsp; 
The repurposing of the historic property into a high-end private wellness clubhouse responds to shifting priorities among homebuyers, with wellbeing now emerging as a key driver in residential real estate. Research from the Global Wellness Institute shows that up to 90 per cent of health outcomes are linked to where and how we live. 
&nbsp; 
According to recent research, 73 per cent of homeowners and renters say health impacts will be a factor in selecting their next home. Buyers now seek environments that encourage holistic wellbeing, with access to lifestyle-enhancing amenities such as yoga rooms, gyms, pools, parks, and community facilities that support connection and active living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140306 project_image_fid=363738] 
&nbsp; 
Designed by award-winning <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/carr-design">Carr</a>, Maritima Brighton’s wellness offering is situated around the historic Maritima House, once a central point of the Xavier Junior School and now approved for adaptive reuse as the Maritima Clubhouse.&nbsp;

The Maritima Clubhouse facilities are centred around a central courtyard and pool and feature indoor and outdoor amenities including:

<ul>
	<li>A yoga and meditation studio</li>
	<li>Communal infrared sauna &amp; steam room</li>
	<li>Cold plunge bath and magnesium pool</li>
	<li>Fully equipped gym</li>
	<li>Outdoor swimming pool</li>
	<li>Lounge areas and pergola with BBQ facilities</li>
	<li>Landscaping with mature heritage-protected trees and drought-tolerant native plantings</li>
</ul>

This resort-style amenity will be exclusively available to residents of Maritima Brighton, creating a space for relaxation, recovery and community connection just moments from the beach. The project’s proximity to local walking paths, recreational trails, sports grounds and parklands further enhances its health-oriented positioning.

“As wellness becomes central to how Australians choose to live, we are embedding it into the fabric of our communities, not simply as amenity, but as infrastructure.” said Damien Hehir, Development Director, Golden Age Group.

“The Maritima Clubhouse reflects this ethos, bringing meaningful wellness infrastructure to an exceptional bayside location.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140306 project_image_fid=363814]

Nearly all 13 land lots in the first release of land parcels at Maritima Brighton sold in the opening weeks. Brighton downsizers made up the majority of purchasers. The overarching purchasing drivers were security and privacy, with Maritima featuring a&nbsp;monitored gated entry, underground parking and discreet integration into Hartley Street’s quiet residential streetscape.

The broader masterplan will feature&nbsp;83 architect-designed townhomes by Carr. Guided by a refined coastal palette, heritage restoration, and carefully considered landscaping, the masterplan is designed to complement the site’s natural features while protecting its legacy and elevating its future.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140306 project_image_fid=363737] 
&nbsp; 
“The design approach at Maritima Brighton is grounded in the idea that wellbeing is shaped by the environments we inhabit every day," Carr Director Richard Beel said.

"By centring the masterplan around the heritage Maritima House and surrounding it with wellness facilities, a green canopy, and walkable connections to the bay, we’ve created a community where architecture, landscape and lifestyle work together to support long-term health, ease of living and meaningful connection."&nbsp;

A 19th-century landmark reimagined as Bayside’s most exclusive wellness centre

Golden Age launches Maritima Brighton as "new wave of wellness real estate" hits Melbourne's Bayside

Boutique Melbourne developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lowe-living">Lowe Living</a> has launched its ultra-luxury <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/maison-savoy-150-esplanade-brighton-vic-3186">Maison Savoy</a> development, a redevelopment of the former Brighton Savoy Hotel on the Esplanade.

Prices range between $3.7 million for the 174 sqm apartments, the just over $16 million for the penthouses that reach 375 sqm.

Maison Savoy occupies a tightly held coastal position offering views of Port Phillip Bay and sitting moments from the iconic Brighton Bathing Boxes, Royal Brighton Yacht Club and Middle Brighton Baths, and a short walk from Church Street’s retail and dining precinct.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140818 project_image_fid=366478]

Lowe Living has brought together a renowned design team: Studio Kennon as architect and interior designer, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/myles-baldwin-design">Myles Baldwin</a> as landscape architect, and Aurora Spa &amp; Bathhouse as the private wellness curator.&nbsp;

The collection comprises a limited selection of two and three-bedroom residences set across two distinct and private buildings that converge around a central oculus with a calming reflective pool.

Visible from above, the garden maintains a constant connection to landscape throughout the development. Cascading climbers soften the architecture, while tree canopies move gently in the sea breeze, introducing light, motion and seasonal change into interior spaces.

Curved glass, honed natural stone, polished plaster, ribbed European clay brickwork and limestone will be used in the build, as well as a restrained palette of natural materials respond to the coastal context.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140818 project_image_fid=366477]

At the heart of Maison Savoy is a private gym and residents-only European-inspired bathhouse, curated by Sorrento’s Aurora Spa &amp; Bathhouse, an amenity rarely seen within a residential setting.&nbsp;

The full-floor wellness offering includes a hydrotherapy pool, salt room, sauna, steam room, cold plunge pool, foot activation zone and a Vichy rainfall bed, one of only a handful in Australia.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140818 project_image_fid=366474]

Each residence will feature state-of-the-art Wolf ovens, cooktops and a combi-microwave oven, integrated wine fridges, concealed butler's pantries, and bathrooms with freestanding baths, double vanities, brushed nickel fixtures and feature glass.

Custom oak veneer joinery and flexible living zones lead to adaptable winter gardens which offer a transitional space with operable glazed windows allowing residents to modulate light, breeze and outlook depending on the season.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140818 project_image_fid=366480]

Emma Lowe, Co-Founder of Lowe Living, said the uncompromising architecture and design of Maison Savoy reflected a new luxury benchmark for considered, lifestyle-driven living.&nbsp;

“Maison Savoy is one of our most curated and refined residential projects to date," Lowe said.

“Maison Savoy is more than a residential address, it is a legacy in the making. Collaborating with such an esteemed architecture and interior designer in Pete Kennon from Studio Kennon to express the level of quiet luxury and refined architecture that is appropriate for such a rare beachfront location was such an important part of reimagining this iconic site.&nbsp;

“Bringing together the likes of Studio Kennon, Myles Baldwin and Aurora Spa &amp; Bathhouse has ensured we are elevating every single element of the project to reflect the enduring nature of the architectural design response."

Lowe Living unveils Maison Savoy in Brighton

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/salter-brothers">Salter Brothers</a>-backed project, now around 70 per cent complete with builder <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/ironside">Ironside</a> on site, is expected to welcome its first residents by October 2026, with new incentives aimed at purchasers preparing for near-term move-in.

The developer is offering a select number of upgrade packages valued at up to $5,000, available on a first-come, first-served basis. These incentives are offered for new purchasers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=358855]

Buyers can choose between two inclusions. The first is a move-in whitegoods package, designed to streamline the transition into a new home by covering key appliances from day one. The second option provides an additional secure basement storage cage, responding to growing demand for flexible storage solutions in apartment living.

The incentive release comes as <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/candela-ivanhoe-40-upper-heidelberg-road-ivanhoe-vic-3079">Candela Ivanhoe</a> moves into its final stages of construction, with more than half of the residences already sold and a buyer profile heavily weighted toward owner-occupiers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357508]

Designed by John and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/kathy-demos">Kathy Demos</a>, Candela comprises a mix of one to four-bedroom apartments and townhouses, with an emphasis on larger floorplans, natural light, and functional storage, features that align closely with the upgrade offering.

Residences have been planned around everyday liveability, with flexible layouts, private living zones, and generous internal proportions that exceed typical apartment benchmarks in the area. Kitchens are fitted with Miele appliances, while the broader development offers exclusive resident amenities, including a residential lounge and rooftop terrace. A ground-floor café and wellness centre are also integrated into the project, designed to foster community connection while serving both residents and the wider neighbourhood.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357511]

Salter Brothers says the project has been shaped to support a range of buyers, from first-home buyers to downsizers to young families and even inter-generational lifestyle, with over 90 per cent of purchasers to date intending to live in their homes rather than invest.

Positioned on Upper Heidelberg Road, Candela sits in the heart of Ivanhoe Village, Ivanhoe Station, and a range of local parks and pre-eminent schools, contributing to a Walk Score of 90. This level of connectivity has underpinned demand from buyers seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle without sacrificing access to established amenity.

Salter Brothers introduces limited $5,000 upgrade packages as Candela Ivanhoe nears completion

Now complete and open, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/time-place">Time &amp; Place</a>'s Queensbridge Building introduces a new way of living in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/southbank-vic-3006">Southbank</a>, where residences, hospitality and culture come together in a fully realised precinct.&nbsp;

The 65-storey tower is already welcoming residents and guests, with its integrated hotel, dining venues and amenity offering activating the building from day one.

Developed by Time &amp; Place and constructed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/hickory">Hickory</a>, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/the-queensbridge-building-southbank-90-queensbridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The Queensbridge Building</a> at 90 Queensbridge Street combines 353 residences with the 188-room Hannah St Hotel, operated by TFE Hotels.&nbsp;

The precinct is already active, with Hannah St Hotel welcoming guests and venues such as Coupette, Bar Hannah and the Carriage Lounge operating across the ground and podium levels. Weekends are seeing strong visitation, reinforcing its role as both a residential address and a broader lifestyle destination.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=360990]

What sets Queensbridge apart is its integration of residential living with a fully operational hotel and hospitality offering, delivering a level of service, activation and convenience rarely seen in Melbourne's apartment market.

Interiors throughout, both in the residential tower and the hotel, were designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/flack-studio">Flack Studio</a>, with architecture by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fraser-partners-0">Fraser &amp; Partners</a>.&nbsp;

The residences balance rough-cut stone, cool concrete and rich timbers against abundant natural light. Floor-to-ceiling windows and open floorplans carry that through into the layout.

Interior designer David Flack has described the hotel as "part grand hotel, part cultural clubhouse," reflecting the project's ambition to balance hospitality, design and community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=362184]

The Queensbridge Clubhouse sits at the heart of the residential offering: lap pools, sauna, steam room, gym, outdoor terraces, private dining rooms and co-working spaces, all bookable through the building's dedicated app. The hotel's wellness amenities extend that offer further, with Hannah St Hotel services available to residents through the Clubhouse.

Time &amp; Place Founder and Director Tim Price said the vision was always to create something more than a residential tower.

"The vision for Queensbridge was to create a building that felt connected to the neighbourhood and to Melbourne itself. It is not just a residential tower, but a place where residents, visitors and the wider community can gather, experience hospitality and enjoy city life together."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=362170]

The National Gallery of Victoria, Arts Centre Melbourne and the Yarra River promenade are within easy walking distance, and Crown Melbourne and the CBD are next door. The Victorian Government's $1.7 billion Melbourne Arts Precinct Transformation is already underway in the surrounding area, which will only add to the precinct's draw over the coming years.

Many of the remaining apartments sit on the upper levels, with sweeping views across Melbourne's CBD skyline, Albert Park and Port Phillip Bay, the floor-to-ceiling windows and open floorplans are what those floors were designed around.

Price said the development was always intended to contribute to the surrounding neighbourhood rather than stand apart from it.

"We set out to create a building that reflects Melbourne's culture and energy. By combining residences, hospitality and shared spaces, Queensbridge becomes more than a place to live. It becomes part of the neighbourhood."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=272109]

Only a limited collection of completed two and three-bedroom residences remain, presenting a rare opportunity to secure a finished home within a design-led precinct and move in immediately.

For Time &amp; Place, the completion of The Queensbridge Building marks the close of a significant chapter in delivery. Looking ahead, early plans are underway for a new 22-storey residential project on Park Street in South Melbourne, comprising approximately 300 apartments. More to come in 2026.

Time &amp; Place's Queensbridge Building presents a fully realised, lived experience. For buyers seeking certainty, design quality and lifestyle, it delivers a precinct already brought to life.

Now complete: Inside Southbank's newest residential and hotel destination

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/candela-ivanhoe-40-upper-heidelberg-road-ivanhoe-vic-3079">Candela Ivanhoe</a>, a limited collection of loft-style residences introduces a housing typology rarely seen in Melbourne’s established north-east.

Designed as double-level homes within a broader apartment development, these residences respond to buyers seeking the spatial separation and flexibility of a townhouse, while retaining the efficiency, connectivity and greater security from apartment living.

Located at 40 Upper Heidelberg Road, Candela is a 58-residence development currently under construction and scheduled for completion this Spring. More than half the project has already sold, with a strong owner-occupier profile shaping the community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357499]

The loft-style offering, exemplified by the four-bedroom ‘Lustre’ residences, reframes apartment living through a clear division of zones across two levels.&nbsp;

The lower floor is anchored by a large open-plan living and dining area, where a full kitchen with Miele appliances, an island bench, and a walk-in pantry sits directly adjacent to the main living space. Timber flooring runs throughout this level, reinforcing the continuity between kitchen, dining, and lounge, while double-glazed windows improve thermal performance and acoustic comfort. Additionally, and a prominent feature of this apartment is its expansive rear glass wall, which measures approximately 5.4 metres in height and 8.5 metres in width, allowing abundant sunlight to illuminate the residence.

The primary living zone connects to an oversized private terrace, designed to accommodate both daily use and larger gatherings. Its scale allows for outdoor dining, children’s play equipment, and flexible seating arrangements, effectively extending the internal living footprint.&nbsp;The master bedroom is also positioned on this level, with direct terrace access, a walk-in robe, and an oversized ensuite that includes a built-in dressing table, establishing a degree of separation from the upper floor bedrooms.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357502]

Upstairs, the layout shifts to a more private configuration. Three additional bedrooms with built-in robes are arranged around a secondary living area, creating a dedicated zone for children or guests. This level also incorporates a study area suitable for a full-width desk, alongside a central bathroom designed as a combined wet area for bath and shower use. A separate powder room on each level supports functionality for larger households.

The decision to split living across two levels is central to how these residences operate. Rather than relying on a single open-plan arrangement, the design introduces multiple living zones that can be used simultaneously without overlap, supporting families, remote work, and multi-generational living within the same footprint.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=364553]

Interior designer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/kathy-demos">Kathy Demos</a> describes the broader design approach as one shaped by natural light and movement through space, noting that “from the atrium to the front door of your apartment… the sun washes the surfaces with light.” This emphasis on daylight is reinforced across the loft residences, where both levels are designed to maximise natural light in living areas and bedrooms, reducing reliance on artificial lighting.

Sustainability measures are integrated at both the building and apartment level. Candela targets an average 7.5-star NatHERS energy rating, supported by double glazing, passive design principles, and a rooftop solar array that contributes to powering communal areas. Water reuse systems and efficient fixtures are also included to reduce long-term consumption.

These residences sit within a broader development that prioritises shared amenity and connectivity. Residents have access to a rooftop terrace, ground-floor lounge, and on-site café, while Ivanhoe Village’s retail, dining, and transport options at your doorstep. A Walk Score of 90 reflects the practicality of the location, particularly for buyers seeking reduced reliance on cars.

Candela has been designed by architect John Demos in collaboration with interior designer Kathy Demos and developer Salter Brothers, with construction led by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/ironside">Ironside</a>. As Demos explains, the intent was to focus on how spaces are experienced day-to-day: “We design to anticipate the feeling you want to have in your home. It’s more about substance than surface.”
