Less than two hours from Sydney, Newcastle marks itself as the hub for the Hunter region.

A short drive to the Hunter Valley wineries, Nelson Bay, and a pristine countryside, the city is continuing to develop into one of the most attractive places to live along Australia’s east coast.

Downtown Newcastle continues its transformation into a modern metropolis with an ever-expanding range of dining, shopping and lifestyle choices filling the streets.

Canberra-based property group, Doma will make their mark again on the suburb, putting the shovel in the ground on the site of their new residential tower, The Store, on Hunter Street.

Doma is no stranger to the Newcastle area, having undertaken several projects across the region including the Bishopsgate Apartments in Wickham and Lume in the CBD.

The Hunter and Central Coast Regional Planning Panel gave the group the green light, with the project taking its name from the site’s original façade and window shapes that adorned the former Store building.

Taking cues from other historical buildings across Newcastle, masonry forms the primary material in The Store’s podium level, complemented with modern luxuries inspiring a new era of growth on the city’s edge

When completed, The Store Residences will bring to the Newcastle market a further 360 residences.

A mix of one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments will be set amongst a landscaped acre of resort-style facilities, including a 25-metre lap pool, a tennis court, multiple barbecue areas, community gardens, a children’s playground, outdoor dining and lounge areas, as well as a rooftop observation deck, creating a new precedent for apartment living in the coastal suburb.

DOMA is forecasting a late 2026 completion date of The Store.

Construction company&nbsp;<a href="/builders/cs-development-group">CS Development Group</a>&nbsp;has completed the demolition at Pavilion The Residences in Upper Mount Gravatt, the latest development by&nbsp;local developer&nbsp;<a href="/developers/oakridge-property-group">Oakridge Property Group</a>,

<a href="/new-apartments/pavilion-the-residences-upper-mount-gravatt-110-klumpp-road-upper-mount-gravatt">Pavilion The Residences</a>, situated adjacent to the Mimosa Creek nature reserve, is designed to encompass three five-level pavilion-style structures, replacing the existing two-storey residence on the site.

Once completed, Pavilion The Residences will offer a total of 144 apartments with a diverse range of configurations, including 52 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom, and 20 three-bedroom units.

Oakridge enlisted <a href="/architects/mas-architecture-studio">MAS Architecture Studio</a> to craft the design for the Pavilion, employing a sub-tropical aesthetic marked by profound balcony overhangs and strategic fenestration to prioritise solar aspect, orientation, and harmonious integration with the natural surroundings.&nbsp;

Nick Simmons, director of <a>MAS Architecture Studio</a> said that the process for Pavilion has been very collaborative with interior design studio Corner iD and the landscape architect "to make sure our design is holistically gelled together as one entire piece."

Privately-owned developer, Sunkin Property Group, has formally appointed SK Construction to deliver on its $600 million masterplanned development, Highett Common, in Melbourne’s bayside.

The partnership commences a unique builder-developer relationship between the two companies, with SK Construction and <a href="/developers/sunkin-property-group">Sunkin</a>&nbsp;forming a completely exclusive agreement to deliver the developer’s existing and future project pipeline. &nbsp;

The announcement coincides with the commencement of Highett Common’s $70 million stage 1 construction program, which will see 167 new apartments completed by late 2025.

<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/ACtwfoM658M?si=nToewq-q-N5QEIY0" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

The 9.3-hectare precinct will be delivered in multiple stages over the next five years, with Sunkin anticipating the delivery of over 1000 new apartments and townhouses across the master plan by 2029.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=212655]

Lloyd Collins, General Manager of Property at Sunkin Property Group, says the developer considered several external builders for <a href="/new-apartments/highett-common-37-graham-road-highett-vic-3190">Highett Common</a> before an exclusive partnership was created with SK Construction.&nbsp;

“The exclusive partnership with SK Construction allows Sunkin to have complete oversight over the delivery status and budget of each stage within Highett Common," Collins says.

"This agreement allows us to better control the construction process and therefore provide additional delivery assurance to our customers. &nbsp;

“Across the industry, we’ve witnessed a 30 per cent increase in construction companies going insolvent over the past 12 months, and it was critical for us to protect the project and our purchasers from any similar risks.

"This will allow us to manage relationships directly with our preferred trades, have greater visibility over quality control, manage risks and ultimately manage timely delivery for all involved. It’s not about margin or additional profit, in fact in light of the construction pricing challenges, this allows us to run construction at lower margins which ultimately builds value for the end occupants."

Collins says it is&nbsp;critical to the project’s enduring long-term value that its amenities and public facilities are delivered to enduring standards, including its vast open green spaces, playgrounds, community hub and library so that Highett Common can become a thriving precinct for generations to come, as well as catering to the future &nbsp;population demands of the area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=212656]

Recognising construction confidence is a contributing factor to sales success, Sunkin recently completed over $10 million of early infrastructure works at Highett Common including roads, kerb and channelling, water infrastructure and early basement works. The developer has now exceeded $90 million in apartment sales at Highett Common to date, exceeding initial sales targets by $20 million.&nbsp;

SK Construction will work alongside Sunkin to further deliver on Highett Common’s net-zero ambitions, with its in-house design and procurement team sourcing internal and external materials and products that reduce energy consumption and provide the ability to rely on green electricity.&nbsp;

Solar panels will be incorporated in each of the precinct’s buildings to meet the project’s net-zero targets, meaning each residence will be able to access green electricity. This will also extend to public and private amenities, with plans for lighting in the communal areas and a new public library to have the ability to generate solar power.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=213940] 
&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Thermally insulated windows and door systems will also be used throughout the project, which have been specifically developed for their size and scale.

Collins says ensuring one construction partner for the lifetime of the development program means that they can forward plan important elements of future construction phases, particularly around green spaces and landscaping.

"This means that wellness and recreation facilities have the benefit of mature plantings by the time they are open for use."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=213937]

The construction delivery of Highett Common will also conform to Tier 1 ISO standards across Environmental, OH&amp;S and Quality Management Systems. SK Construction has also developed a specific waste management plan to assist in achieving the project’s sustainability targets, with a certified waste management contractor in place to ensure at least 80 per cent recycled content can be effectively used. &nbsp;

During the construction program, SK Construction will work alongside Sunkin, <a href="/architects/clarke-hopkins-clarke-0">Clarke Hopkins Clarke</a>, Tract&nbsp; Consultants and Bayside City Council to maintain and preserve native flora and fauna within the site’s 3- 3-hectare conservation area.&nbsp;

Stage 3 of Highett Common will launch to the public in Q3 2024, with completion of the entire masterplanned precinct anticipated for completion by 2029.&nbsp;

Construction has commenced at Geelong's newest apartment development.

Motif, a collection of Rothelowman-designed apartments by&nbsp;<a href="/developers/dm-property">DM Property</a>&nbsp;and joint venture partner <a href="/developers/icon-developments">Icon Kajima</a>, is being delivered by regarded construction firm Hamilton Marino, their first apartment project on the Bellarine.

Piling work at 1 York Street has been completed and the bulk excavation phase is now underway.&nbsp;<a href="/developers/hamilton-marino">Hamilton Marino</a> is currently digging out the basement to ready the ground for slab work.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136615 project_image_fid=241453]

DM and Icon Kajima have partnered with renowned architecture firm <a href="/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> to design the five-level, 129-apartment building which is already over 60 per cent sold.

The location's rarity for new apartment developments in Geelong played a significant role in achieving such remarkable sales figures.

"<a href="/new-apartments/motif-geelong-1-york-street-geelong-vic-3220">Motif</a> is situated in an ideal location, and its progressive design credentials led by Rothelowman have positioned the development to address the sustained undersupply of apartments within the Victorian housing market,” Nick Sestak, Senior Development Manager of Icon Kajima, said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136615 project_image_fid=241456]

The ground floor hosts a generously sized plaza-like space landscaped by <a href="/landscape-architect/acre">ACRE</a>, providing a communal area for residents to gather and enjoy.

Ideally located at 1 York Street on the fringe of the CBD, Motif is just a stone's throw from Pakington Street's cafes, restaurants and bars, and the Little Malop Street precinct, home to The <a href="/developments/geelong-vic-3220">Geelong</a> Library and Heritage Centre, the most striking piece of architecture in town, while all being one street away from the water.

The interiors feature floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in natural light and provide expansive views, creating a connection to the surrounding greenery.

“In both the private and communal alfresco spaces, the gardens have a romantic fluidity to them that contrasts the structure of the architecture, with the pool organically nestled within the landscaping,” landscape designer Myles Baldwin said.

<img alt="MIRA, Bellevue Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="94666dbc-00b0-4b2e-922d-da519ab5531f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/MIRA%20location.jpg?VersionId=n5UJA_80vn.KDWkc14RuYBr.in2asLez" />
