In a significant milestone for Mirvac's Green Square development, The Frederick, the first of the four residential buildings in the master plan, has reached completion and is now ready for residents to move in.&nbsp;

<a href="/buildings/green-square-by-mirvac-the-frederick-28-zetland-avenue-zetland-nsw-2017">The Frederick</a>, the tallest of the buildings at 23 levels, comprises 151 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.

Designed collaboratively by <a href="/architects/smart-design-studio">Smart Design Studio</a> and <a href="/architects/mirvac-design">Mirvac Design</a>, the exterior showcases a curvilinear form, with the facade described as "punctuated by tall corner slots" creating a pin-wheel effect and adorned with horizontal and vertical shading elements, fritted spandrels, and bands of glazing.

Residents of The Frederick will enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor living with its family-sized homes leading out to equally generous balconies.&nbsp;

Inside, upgraded engineered timber herringbone floors, warm white walls, and elegant brass-toned fixtures coupled with soft curves, timber laminate details, and illuminated shelvings contribute to the apartments' hotel luxe ambience.&nbsp;

The Frederick is part of one of the largest urban renewal projects in Australia, aiming to deliver over 1,600 apartments, along with office and retail space and a substantial public domain within the Green Square Town Centre.

Green Square by <a href="/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a> has been coming to life for over nine years. Besides the residential buildings, the precinct is also home to a library and Civic Plaza, as well as the 6,200 sqm Drying Green, Gunyama Park Aquatic and Recreation Centre, Green Square train station, Joynton Avenue Creative Centre, Goodstart Waranara Early Education Centre and over 40 parks.

Mirvac CEO Development Stuart Penklis said Green Square is a great example of government and industry coming together to not only generate more places close to the city for Sydney-siders to call home but also foster a community that will meet the needs of its residents for years to come.

Characterised by curved architectural forms, the Wood Marsh-designed buildings house four and three apartments each. The bold and artistic aesthetic of the two buildings are entirely different but bear recognisable influences inspired by the surrounding water.&nbsp;

"We wanted to create an emotional response to living so close to the water's edge," Randal Marsh from Woods Marsh says.

"Each aspect has been carefully controlled to frame individual features. These spaces were approach like works of art."&nbsp;

One building features a series of fins for privacy and sun protection, clad in dark zinc metal, while off-white rendered masonry and porthole-like windows distinguish the other.

Apartments are situated on entire floors or half-floors accessible from private lift lobbies in each building.

To complement the waterfront setting, the interior design aims to evoke a casual and chic beachside atmosphere, utilising textures, colours, natural timbers, and marbles for a serene and sophisticated look and feel.

The generously sized floor plans, up to 270 sqm, distinguish this development from the others in the area. All apartments feature two living areas, two bathrooms, and a powder room.

Construction approaches completion on one of Brighton's most luxe apartment developments

Sekisui House Australia is set to welcome more than 350 new residents to its latest completed stage at its West Village masterplan, Altura.

Altura, the tallest apartment tower and the fifth to be completed in West End’s landmark $1.2 billion West Village precinct, comprises 146 apartments, which will be occupied just in time for Christmas.

The 22-level tower was designed with a&nbsp;unique neuro-architectural approach that aims to promote a feeling of wellness through design, textures and colours.

With concept design by Smart Design Studio, detailed design by nettletontribe and landscape design by RPS, Altura’s rooftop boasts a ‘Wellness Regeneration Zone’ with infinity edge pool, magnesium spa, outdoor kitchen, barbecue area and sunken fire pit for residents to rest and recharge.

&nbsp;

<img alt="Altura" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="135b3a12-f217-4a38-9218-bdb6bd4cefe2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-30%20at%2010.11.22%20am.png?VersionId=wwfVvInvKIP7fepHVAtEn_aB2Qui8gR2" />Altura's rooftop: Image credit Lucas Munro

The podium ‘Lifeplace Level’ features communal areas for connectivity, including a library, cinema rooms, private dining room with kitchenette and workspace productivity pods, while 14-metre mature kauri pines line the base of the tower forming the tranquil Kauri Grove on Kauri Lane.

nettletontribe Director David Cohen said the quality of living spaces in each Altura residence was further enhanced through connections with nature.

“One of the underpinning design principles across the West Village master plan is the integration of built form with the natural environment, which has a positive flow-on effect on our health and wellbeing,” Cohen said.

“Altura embodies this principle by incorporating greenery vertically up the building, benefiting not only the residences and balcony environments, but also the surrounding buildings in the broader West Village community.

“The design of the balconies and the façade were key to delivering a quality space for each residence that achieved outlook and connection to the natural environment, including access to natural light and ventilation.”

&nbsp;

Only two residences remain available at Altura starting from $3.6 million, including the five-bedroom, four-and- half bathroom penthouse on level 22 and the four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom sub-penthouse on level 21.

<img alt="Altura" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="baaee00e-1b2e-4c0c-84dd-37d72f066c69" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-30%20at%2010.12.27%20am.png?VersionId=nwB9neuZHL4jd.wNaBMoWM1XuzirPAmM" />

West Village Project Director Taku Hashimoto said the distinctive Altura residence reinforced the benefits of living in West Village where community, lifestyle and wellbeing were at the forefront.

“West Village provides an unparalleled setting, combining heritage, environmental connectivity, creativity, and health and wellness aspects that encourage residents and visitors to thrive,” Hashimoto said.

“It also boasts a 99 out of 100 Walk Score, enabling residents to easily access the precinct’s Harris Farm Markets, Goodlife Health Clubs, medical and beauty hubs, and the 25-plus retail and dining options.

“We are proud to deliver Altura as part of the West Village master plan and provide its soon-to-be residents with multi-sensory, luxury living and innovation, all within a vibrant community and a stone’s throw from the city."

&nbsp;

Three final buildings are to be completed at West Village, including the Allere Collection which is currently under construction and features two connected, vertical communities Uno and Duo, 90 per cent of which is already sold out with limited residences remaining across three, four and five-bedroom options.

The Allere Collection is a curated collection of 203 residences designed by Rothelowman, with a unique, pet- friendly focus integrated across both communities and shared communal spaces set to entice families, including rooftop pools, enclosed dining spaces, seating areas, a vegetable garden and an off-leash rooftop dog space, ‘Paw Pavilion’.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204857]

West Village’s master developer Sekisui House Australia is proud to continue to create homes and communities that improve with time and last for generations.

With developments in Queensland and New South Wales, Sekisui House Australia’s approach to design honours its Japanese heritage, with design guided by the principle of Satoyama — connecting people through ‘ribbons of green’ to ensure communities are in harmony with their natural surroundings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13992 project_image_fid=240217]

Buyers are now set to move into the SJB-designed by <a href="/buildings/147-153-kurraba-road-kurraba-point">Kurraba Road project</a>, which was built by Richard Crookes Construction.

There are two, three and four-bedroom apartments in the five-level building, which SJB Director Adam Haddow says will set&nbsp;new standards for&nbsp;<a href="/developments/kurraba-point-nsw-2089">harbourside living in Sydney</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13992 project_image_fid=240218]

ARIA Property Group has completed Trellis, one of its most sustainable Brisbane apartment developments to date.

Trellis, in South Brisbane, was sold out of all 110 apartments well before its recently completion by McNab to designs by Rothelowman.

ARIA focused its sustainable&nbsp;initiatives in four key areas: apartments, landscaping, water, and electricity.

<img alt="Trellis" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="09e45089-c17a-4b6f-8a43-a85406dc12be" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-20%20at%2011.17.53%20am.png?VersionId=d6iCyJe4CXQ.s5pbQ9TycyD4OHEBP32." />

Queenslander-style balconies wrap around each apartment for natural airflow and ventilation, accentuated by generously proportioned floor plans, three-metre high ceilings, and timber flooring. Cross-flow ventilation corridors, operable architectural screen doors and double-glazed glass reduce reliance on ducted air-conditioning.

Living areas transform into seamless indoor and outdoor spaces with the flush balcony via operable glazing.&nbsp;

The distinct rooftop of the building, with its various lifestyle amenities, is crowned by a trellis-like structure from extended columns and floating beams—featuring over 4,000 plants and over ninety-four climbers ascending across the layered facade to improve biodiversity, cooling the building and reducing the heat island effect. The rooftop features a 25-metre infinity pool and hot and cold magnesium baths.

<img alt="Trellis" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c203a647-a716-4d59-937c-b306ef3d02a8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-20%20at%2011.18.05%20am.png?VersionId=_3CoMQs_l.qHO5y4eBTstixE5.lWAMqX" />

Aria is incorporating 60,000L of rainwater tanks to capture as much rainwater as possible to irrigate planting, while they are&nbsp;also aimin to offset 100 per cent of common area electricity costs through solar panels and storing power through Tesla battery wall chargers.&nbsp;

The building will also provide a Tesla vehicle for resident use, and all parking spaces will feature infrastructure for future electric charger installation.

An open-plan conservatory replaced a traditional podium. The open-plan conservatory homes a&nbsp;lead residents through a cascading water wall to the Temple of Wellness, a fully equipped fitness centre and meditation zone with weights, pilates reformers, cardiovascular equipment and meditation pods. Aria Living also offers complimentary group yoga and group personal training fortnightly.

The $60 million project, which also features a private wine bar and lounge, a resident wine cellar, and a boardroom and podcast room, sits on&nbsp;Edmondstone Street, located adjacent to Musgrave Park, one of Brisbane’s oldest and most iconic parklands.

ARIA focused its sustainable initiatives in four key areas: apartments, landscaping, water, and electricity

Renowned architecture firm Rothelowman designed the six-storey <a href="/buildings/seamstress-11-13-lygon-street-brunswick-east">Lygon Street building</a>, taking design cues&nbsp;from the site's former life as a textile mill, expressing that through a steel and glass woven facade. The woven façade design provides privacy and transparency, allowing daylight penetration and visual articulation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=255 project_image_fid=234302]

Perfectly positioned on the corner of Lygon St and Brunswick Rd, <a href="/buildings/seamstress-11-13-lygon-street-brunswick-east">Seamstress</a> comprises just 30 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, located above ground-level retail space.

Interiors are modern and raw, with white walls and European oak flooring blending with hanging rails and exposed concrete ceilings—a homage to Brunswick's industrial past.

The open living and dining areas, illuminated by track lighting at night, are surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to a balcony.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=255 project_image_fid=234304]

The kitchens are minimalist, prominently featuring a texture of lines and clean edges, complemented by modern Miele appliances.

The bedrooms feature floor-to-ceiling windings that seem to disappear to the ceiling, framing the vibrant Brunswick streetscape outside.

The bathrooms are functional and modern, with a floor-to-wall tiled shower area with an elegant niche and a wide vanity mirror over a freestanding vanity.

The terraces are sized with room for outdoor dining and herb gardens.

Sliding doors within select apartments can create an additional bedroom or office space on demand.

Seamstress is just a short tram ride from the CBD. Limited one and two-bedroom apartments remain.

Mirvac has officially completed The Langlee and Waverley Greens, transforming the former Waverley Bowling Club into a new lifestyle and residential precinct featuring 55 luxury apartments, a contemporary hospitality venue, bowling greens and community hub with an estimated total development value of around $170m.

The Langlee was developed to target the downsizer. It's been completed at a time when almost a third of the Australian population aged over 55 is considering downsizing and a further 26 per cent have already made the move, freeing up the family home to allow the next generation of families to move in.

The ‘right sizer’ movement, enhanced further by the Federal Government’s downsizer scheme, promotes housing efficiency in a supply-constrained market. In NSW, more than 1.4 million people occupy a three or four-bedroom home on their own, or as couples without children. And nearly three-quarters of them are aged over 55 years. In Sydney’s eastern suburbs, the population aged 55-79 has grown by 8.3 per cent3 since the last Census in 2016.

Mirvac CEO Development Stuart Penklis said Mirvac’s partnership with the Easts Group has focused on delivering a project that unlocks much-needed right-sizer accommodation in a highly desirable location, whilst also creating a premium venue befitting the local Eastern Suburbs community.

“Mirvac has a long history of working with partners such as the Easts Group to unlock and transform sites like these in inner Sydney, to deliver precincts of exceptional quality and great design that residents and the local community can enjoy,” Penklis said.

“When we partnered with the Easts Group, we wanted to create an amenity-rich lifestyle for the over 55s that offered the best blend of both convenience and comfort, which we have delivered in The Langlee. On top of that, we set out to create a premium destination in the east that the community can enjoy – for bowls, a family meal or a coffee with friends - with Waverley Greens.”

Easts Group CEO Joe Kelly said they set out to celebrate the site’s unique heritage while setting new benchmarks for innovation, sustainability, and the high-quality built form.

"Mirvac was perfectly positioned to reimagine this iconic location with us," Kelly said.

“The seamless integration of Waverley Greens and The Langlee residences and likeness to the architect’s vision and artist’s impressions is incredible, and a testament to the delivery of the project by Mirvac.

“The Waverley Bowling Club was formed in 1893 and is the sixth oldest bowling club in Sydney, and we’re thrilled to have played a small part in ensuring that they could celebrate their 130th year milestone. Our Waverley Bowling Club Members now have one of the best facilities in Sydney and an incredibly bright future ahead.”

The one-hectare site features an indoor/outdoor café, restaurant and bar situated on the ground floor, fronted by two bowling greens, as well as 55 premium residences, a 20-metre indoor lap pool, treatment and steam rooms, and a mezzanine level gym. A personalised wellbeing concierge service delivered by Zinnia Living will benefit residents whilst moving in.

Along with lifestyle features and amenities, Mirvac has worked to lighten The Langlee’s environmental footprint through sustainable building practices and cost saving benefits for residents.

The Langlee by Mirvac maximises available roof space to house solar panels, with a ~120kW system installed which will significantly offset the running costs of the common area facilities, reducing ongoing energy costs to residents and the Club. Electric Vehicle (EV) charging for every residential car space has been included as an option for customers, and water and energy efficient appliances have also been installed. The Langlee has been designed by Altis Architecture in collaboration with Mirvac Design.

By 2066, it is forecasted older people in Australia will make up around 22 per cent of the total population. Penklis says concurrently the trend to downsize will gain further momentum.

"The Langlee offers prospective purchasers an attractive downsizing option with a difference," Penklis added.

“An over 55s residence has significant value to the wider community and allows for transition of housing stock by allowing downsizers to remain in their locality and enjoy a maintenance free environment with state-of-the-art facilities, and in turn on-sell their larger family home to the next generation of families, returning much-needed established housing to the market.

“The Langlee highlights our capability as specialists in precinct delivery and partnerships, a result of our best-in-class integrated model and expertise that spans the residential, retail, industrial, commercial and mixed-use sectors. We are also highly selective in the partners we choose to work with, and our reputation for quality underpinned by Australia’s only iCIRT 5 Gold Star rating means customers can be confident in the product and lifestyle Mirvac creates."

The Langlee is one of 16 residential projects Mirvac has in the pipeline across NSW, with the group set to deliver around 1,200 new homes to buyers in residential communities and apartments across the state over the next year, injecting much-needed diverse housing options into a tightly constrained housing market.
