ADA Toorak apartments approach completion

It was 2020 when longtime Melbourne developer Buxton Projects secured a prime site on <a href="/new-apartments/malvern-vic-3144">Malvern</a> Road for their luxury <a href="/new-apartments/toorak-vic-3142">Toorak apartment development</a>, ADA Toorak.

The site was appealing because of not only its <a href="/new-apartments/toorak-vic-3142">Toorak postcode</a>, one of the most affluent suburbs in Australia, but also its proximity to the neighbouring <a href="/new-apartments/malvern-vic-3144">Malvern</a> and the draw of the Glenferrie Road.

<a href="/buildings/ada-toorak-1093-1099-malvern-road-toorak">ADA Toorak</a>, just 22 apartments designed by architect Paul Conrad, whose work is almost exclusively luxury mansions across the world, is a stone's throw from the popular shopping strip, as well as all the transport options it offers.

Taking in both Toorak and Malvern: How ADA Toorak fits into one of Melbourne's most affluent suburbs

Melbourne unit value growth doubled month on month in September, with the growth in apartments and townhouses outstripping house value growth.

Following modest gains of 0.4 per cent in July and 0.3 per cent in August, Melbourne units grew 0.6 per cent over September, compared to the 0.3 per cent growth houses in the Victoria capital posted, according to&nbsp;CoreLogic's Monthly Hedonic Home Value Index.

Melbourne unit values are now 1.6 per cent up over the rolling quarter, and 3.3&nbsp;per cent year to date. The median value for units in Melbourne is now $612,585.

CoreLogic Research Director Tim Lawless noted that in&nbsp;the more expensive cities, Sydney and Melbourne, the broad middle of the market is now recording the highest growth rate after previously being led by the upper quartile.

“Possibly we are starting to see renewed affordability challenges deflecting more demand towards the middle of the market where barriers to entry are lower,” Lawless said.

<h2>What's happening in the Melbourne off the plan market?</h2>

Melbourne is arguably the slowest of markets to understand the value that off the plan apartments offer currently.

Everything in Melbourne points to a prolonged period of growth. The supply and demand imbalance is the largest in the country by some distance, and the most concerning part for Melbourne is that the gap is likely to widen, not narrow. Not enough apartment developments are getting launched, nor are development sites transacting. At the same time, immigration numbers are expected to be the highest in the country.

Anecdotal feedback from agents however is that the majority of buyers are not ready to commit to a purchase yet, with confidence of deliver an issue. However more buyers are starting, or restarting, their purchasing journey now there's more confidence in the RBA holding rates.

Buxton Projects Director Josh Buxton believes there's a real opportunity to make money in the off the plan apartment market at the moment.

"Over the next decade we’re going to see a large shortfall of supply, and at some stage those pressures will come in and people will realise there’s money to be made in buying off the plan property," Buxton said.

"When property prices jumped by 40 per cent in some areas during COVID, off the plan prices didn’t move which is incredible. That means you’re still buying at a price that you might have afforded back in 2020. Buyers can’t do that in the established market after such significant price jumps."

Buxton recently started construction on ADA Toorak, just 22 three-bedroom apartments designed by Paul Conrad on Malvern Road.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=92806 project_image_fid=175568]

Buxton said he couldn't believe how quickly enquiry changed when they started building.

"There was a really distinct line. It wasn’t when the site was demolished, or site prep, but as soon as the concrete was poured, then we got activity."

Construction on the striking building is slated for mid-2024. Buxton says ADA brings something different to Toorak, offering a more affordable solution to the bluechip suburb without compromising on quality.

"We wanted to provide the quality Toorak locals have come to expect from high-end homes but in an apartment. We really pushed on the landscaping too so downsizers are still surrounded in greenery without the maintenance of a large yard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=92806 project_image_fid=175569]

OSK Property is finding buyers are saying the same about builder confidence at BLVD, their latest stage of their&nbsp;$2.8 billion Melbourne Square development in Southbank.

BLVD, which follows two completed residential towers, comprises 591 apartments and a suite of wellness facilities and sustainability features which have become the cornerstone of the masterplan.

OSK Property Sales and Marketing Director Ivy Chen said they are seeing success because of the certainty they bring to the off the plan apartment market.

"What is influencing buyers is having the&nbsp;certainty that construction will indeed go ahead. They will research the quality of past projects as evidence too."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=214124]

Chen says&nbsp;demand for both completed and off the plan apartments is very strong at the moment.

"There has been a big change from previous years with a noticeable switch of purchaser type from investors to owner occupiers. Now more than half are owner occupiers," Chen advised.

She says buyers are more demanding in their requirements for floor plan layouts, views, and storage space, as well as&nbsp;whether the development has any sustainability or wellness features, the latter more of a requirement since COVID.

"People are definitely more focused on their mental and physical health now," Chen noted.

Lendlease have quickly secured two thirds of sales at their Regatta at Collins Wharf development, which has prices starting from $591,500 through to nearly $4.7 million.

<a href="/developers/lendlease-development">Lendlease</a>&nbsp;Head of Apartments Daniel Dugina&nbsp;said the&nbsp;significant demand demonstrates the return of confidence in the off the plan housing market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134684 project_image_fid=224391]

He said the development has been welcomed by first home buyers through to downsizers seeking a quality home within the desirable dual-waterfront neighbourhood with easy access to the CBD.

“Regatta at Collins Wharf is the next stage of our ongoing investment in the area, with the precinct’s location presenting an exciting opportunity for Melbourne's city centre to stretch further westwards and engage with the water, connecting its maritime past with the contemporary vibrancy of the city for residents, workers and visitors.”

City Beat September 2023: Melbourne unit growth outstrips houses as buyers look ahead

Paul Conrad is well known in the property world as being one of the go-to architects for the well-heeled across Melbourne's most affluent suburbs.

He's created some of the best homes in the Toorak and wider Stonnington area, while also carrying an enviable workbook overseas. He's designed mansions in Los Angeles and New York, while also lending his interior eye to the Dubai Hotel.

Seldom is there an opportunity for an apartment seeker to call a Paul Conrad design home. Cue ADA Toorak, the project from longtime Melbourne developer Buxton Projects.

ADA Toorak, just 22 apartments on Malvern Road, sits in landscaping by renowned landscape architect Jack Merlo.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=92806 project_image_fid=175567]

Jellis Craig Project Sales Director Stephen Bowtell said Conrad's name is attracting those from the local area who either own, or have an affinity with, high end homes.

"Some of those showing an interest in ADA Toorak have either worked with Conrad before, or have friends or family who have," Bowtell says, adding that Conrad has brought his smarts from luxury homes into a luxury apartment design.

"The designs and configurations of ADA Toorak are heavily weighted to the downsizer or empty nester," Bowtell says.

"The island benches are three meters long, they all have butler's pantries, two dishwashers, everything you'd find in a typical family home. This focus on spacious and functional design is a hallmark of Conrad's work."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=92806 project_image_fid=175568]

Conrad was inspired by the grand garden residences of Toorak, the prestigious, long-standing homes that have defined Toorak’s reputation.

"ADA borrows the sense of stature, proportion, and dignity from these homes and combines it with modern technology and contemporary stylings to create light-filled spaces that offer calm and respite," Conrad says.

"Residents at ADA can expect a living experience that is more akin to a stand-alone home than an apartment. We’ve taken each and every element from our luxury home projects and adapted them for more convenient, low-maintenance apartment living.

"From the feeling of space conferred by the generous layouts, to the relationships between the spaces, to the views to greenery and nature, everything has been carefully considered for its positive impact on everyday living."

The interiors of ADA Toorak are a testament to Conrad's design philosophy, which prioritises longevity and sophistication over fleeting trends. He draws inspiration from a wide range of architectural history, from classical to mid-twentieth-century design.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=92806 project_image_fid=175570]

Conrad's holistic design process sets ADA Toorak apart from other similar developments. He doesn't draw any distinction between architecture and interior design.

"Both elements are equally important to the look and feel of a home, and they need to work together seamlessly. This means every detail is considered in relation to the project as a whole; the façade of the building, the orientation of a room, or the door handles—everything has to speak to each other and resonate with the occupant."

From ground-level homes to the canopy residences, Conrad ensures that ADA Toorak residents experience living that's more akin to a stand-alone home than an apartment.

"We’ve taken each and every element from our luxury home projects and adapted them for more convenient, low-maintenance apartment living," he said.

Paul Conrad brings new lens to Toorak apartment living with ADA Toorak development

There&#39;s set to be a fresh wave of international returnees over 2022, as Australia once again reopens its borders fully to the world of investors and students.

Some of Victoria&#39;s top developers&nbsp;have been planning for the eventuality, acquiring development sites and timing the launch of their projects to coincide with the expected 2022-rush for apartments.

With many making the move to the unit market as a result of growing housing prices, buying from a developer with a track record and long-term commitment to delivering quality projects has become all the more important for aspiring investors.

Urban takes a look at six developers in Melbourne who are set for a busy 2022.

<h2>1. Neometro</h2>

Melbourne-based developer&nbsp;Neometro&nbsp;is one to watch this year thanks to a range of new developments that unite architecture with community and sustainability.

In conjunction with architecture firm MAA and the local landscape designers Mud Office, Nine Wilson Ave promotes wellbeing, prioritises sustainability and is engineered to last.

Neometro&rsquo;s meticulously crafted residences are the result of a unique, curated approach to uniting architecture, interior design, engineering and construction.&nbsp;

Neometro also recently launched 57 Martin St, just six sustainable townhouses in the nearby Thornbury.

There&#39;s also The Darley, which will rise overlooking Flemington Racecourse, in what will be one of the most exciting projects to hit the market in Melbourne this year.

<h2>3. Lendlease</h2>

Founded in 1951, Lendlease boasts over 70 years of experience in building new communities and shaping cities.

Lendlease has long been committed to the environment and was named by the&nbsp;Green Building Council&nbsp;of Australia as a 2021 Green Star Champion.

<h2>4. Mirvac</h2>

Celebrating its 50th year in operation in 2022, Mirvac has an unmatched reputation for delivering quality products in the residential development sector.

Founded in 1972, the leading Australian property group has become a trustworthy developer known for its delivery of upfront amenities, diversified product range and quality design.

Mirvac completed over 3,300 residential sales over the 2021 financial year, an increase of 83 per cent on the previous year, with total assets under management growing to approximately $25 billion.

As one to watch, potential buyers and investors should keep an eye on&nbsp;Mirvac&rsquo;s many residential developments, including the launch of&nbsp;Mirvac&#39;s highly anticipated final release at Tullamore, FORME.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100322 project_image_fid=163021]

FORME residences have been meticulously designed by&nbsp;Mirvac&nbsp;and set within the tranquil surrounds of nature, designed by award-winning landscape architect Paul Bangay.

FORME sits in the wider Tullamore community, which has been a hit with buyers over the last few years. There has been five distinct stages,&nbsp;The&nbsp;Apartments of Tullamore, The Stables, The Club, The Reserve and The Grange.

Tullamore is extremely walkable with over 25 per cent&nbsp;of the site dedicated to green space and trails.

The final apartments remain in Mirvac&#39;s eighth tower, Voyager, the 43-level, 130 metre tower of 310 apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=184708]

<h2>5. Beulah</h2>

One of the most talked-about developments of 2022 is Beulah International&#39;s&nbsp;STH BNK by Beulah.

The $2.7 billion project will see a&nbsp;dual skyscrapers designed by&nbsp;UNStudio&nbsp;and&nbsp;COX Architecture erected in Southbank.

Once complete, it&nbsp;will top Australia 108 as&nbsp;the Southern Hemisphere&rsquo;s tallest building upon its completion, rising 102 storeys, some 366 metres from the City Road address.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=27929]

There will be around 449 apartments across the two towers, as well as a hotel, commercial, and retail space.&nbsp;Residents will also have access to a Private Auto Club,&nbsp;a first-of-its-kind in Australia.

The STH BNK Auto Club will see residents have the opportunity to use the fleet of luxury vehicles,&nbsp;from&nbsp;BMWs and Teslas to Porches and Range Rovers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2269 project_image_fid=10692]

Last year Beulah acquired the neighbouring site in a strategic move that will allow Australia&#39;s tallest tower to now have four street frontages, with the site increasing to 7,706 sqm.

From thoughtfully considered individual experiences to city-defining mixed-use developments,&nbsp;Beulah&nbsp;is known for its transformative spaces and progressive design approach.

As one to watch,&nbsp;Beulah&nbsp;has cemented its place as a developer to watch with the successful sell-out of Gardenhill and their engagement on high-profile projects.

There&#39;s also plans being prepared for 182-194 Commercial Road, a mixed-use 1,132 sqm site in Prahran, secured last year for $11.4 million opposite the well known Prahran Market.&nbsp;

The development group draws on generations of property and real estate experience to create inspiring spaces for exceptional lifestyles, with a diverse pipeline of development projects across the residential, industrial and commercial sectors.

In November, Buxton Projects purchased a 3,987sqm park-front Malvern East site for $10.5 million, likely to become a townhouse project.

Buxton Projects has purchased a park-front Malver​n East site for $10.5 million.

The 3987 sqm site at 50 Sycamore Street will likely become a townhouse project.

It was sold by Colliers agents Hamish Burgess and Joe Kairouz after offers closed in mid-October.

Set close to Waverley Oval, it was described as an &quot;unrepeatable and scarce development proposition in a quality inner eastern location.&quot;

Another site is currently for sale with approved plans and permits for seven 2-bedroom apartments and two contemporary 3-bed townhouses designed by Cactus Architects.

The 867 sqm site at 74 Chadstone Road, Malvern East is for sale through Thomson Malvern with a $2.5m to $2.7 m price guide.

Buxton Projects secures Malvern East townhouse site 

<html><body>
The Melbourne developer Buxton Projects has secured a permit to go ahead with a new townhouse development in Melbourne's bayside Brighton.

They were supported by Bayside City Council at a VCAT hearing to be allowed to create the nine bedroom townhouse project on an amalgamated 1,463 sqm site.

In 2019 the team spent $4.6 million on an amalgamated 1,463 sqm site at 444 St Kilda Street Brighton and 40a Head St, Brighton which they bought for $4.6 million in 2019.

The $7 million development, designed by NTF Architect in landscaped surrounds by Jack Merlo, will comprise nine three bedroom, two level townhouses, each with private basement car parking.

The Urbis town planning report suggested the development presents a unique opportunity to create a distinct gateway to the City of Bayside.

"The townhouses provide a high level of internal amenity which will create a high end finished product."

Key Design Features
