The scaffolding has been removed from <a href="/new-apartments/victoria-hill-camberwell-166-victoria-road-camberwell">Victoria Hill</a>, the new luxury apartment development by <a href="/developers/time-place">Time &amp; Place</a> in Camberwell.&nbsp;

The builder, <a href="/builders/hacer-group">Hacer Group</a>, recently completed the main structure of the building at 166 Victoria Road, allowing the architectural design by <a href="/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a> to be fully visible.

The 25 residences are a modern interpretation of Victorian homes, defined by brick cladding, glass balustrades, and lush landscaping.

Victoria Hill offers two and three-bedroom floor plans ranging from 130 sqm, with interiors curated by interior design studio <a href="/interior-designers/hecker-guthrie">Hecker Guthrie</a>.&nbsp;

Residents will have access to various amenities, including a boardroom, gym, digital concierge, private garages, bike storage, parcel delivery, and dog wash facilities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138722 project_image_fid=290198]

Time &amp; Place Founder and Director Tim Price, a long-time resident of Boroondara, says the project aims to provide a lifestyle comparable to traditional <a href="/developments/camberwell-vic-3124">Camberwell</a> family homes, addressing the needs of residents who find larger homes and gardens increasingly difficult to maintain.

"Victoria Hill was crafted with these residents in mind, offering all the benefits of a significant family home, with large format terraces, breathtaking views, impeccable architectural and interior design quality and, of course, privacy," Price said.

Victoria Hill has also set new records in Boroondara for off the plan apartment sales, with three penthouses sold for a combined $30 million. One of these penthouses was purchased by Hacer Group's Vin Sammartino.

The Boroondara record had been around $6.5 million, secured in Kew for the penthouse atop Rondure House.

Residential construction work has remained stable across Brisbane.

The recently released RLB Crane Index® Q1 2024 shows a slight decline in residential crane numbers in the sky across Brisbane, down from 36 in Q3 2023 to 34 in Q1 2024.

Adding to the supply of new apartments in <a href="/developments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a> is&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/skye-residences-kangaroo-point-8-river-terrace-kangaroo-point">Skye Residences</a> by <a href="/developers/pikos-group">Pikos</a> and <a href="/new-apartments/sorano-house-kangaroo-point-12-hamilton-street-kangaroo-point">Sorano House</a>, both&nbsp;in <a href="/new-apartments/kangaroo-point-qld-4169">Kangaroo Point</a>. They both saw cranes added to their prime sites in the affluent riverside suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90059 project_image_fid=218021]

The CBD and its surrounding area still have most of the city's cranes, accounting for 62 per cent.&nbsp;There were 15 cranes removed from projects in Brisbane, Kangaroo Point, <a href="/new-apartments/new-farm-qld-4005">New Farm</a>, <a href="/new-apartments/south-brisbane-qld-4101">South Brisbane</a>, <a href="/new-apartments/west-end-qld-4101">West End</a>, and <a href="/new-apartments/woolloongabba-qld-4102">Woolloongabba</a>.

The <a href="/new-apartments/queen-s-wharf-residences-23-margaret-street-brisbane">Queen’s Wharf</a> project, previously a major contributor to Brisbane's crane count, saw five cranes removed, leaving four left&nbsp;on site as the project approaches completion.

Activity in Brisbane’s east saw an increase of six cranes to bring the region’s total to seven cranes. This total equals the previous high count of seven cranes in Q1 2021. Only one was a build-to-sell residential project,&nbsp;<a href="/developers/gardner-vaughan-group">Gardner Vaughan's</a> <a href="/new-apartments/stones-corner-qld-4120">Stones Corner</a> project <a href="/new-apartments/stonebrook-stones-corner-10-flora-street-stones-corner">Stonebrook</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114094 project_image_fid=246997]

Brisbane North saw a significant fall in residential crane numbers, down from 12 to six, as cranes were removed from the completed <a href="/buildings/canvas-bulimba-30-love-street-bulimba-qld-4171">Canvas Bulimba</a> by <a href="/developers/graya">Graya</a> and <a href="/buildings/bide-newstead-21-longland-street-newstead">Bide Newstead</a> by <a href="/developers/dibcorp-properties">Dibcorp</a>, as well as three from Mirvac's Quay tower in Newstead.

Brisbane residential work remains stable: RLB Crane Index Brisbane Q1 2024 

Cranes working on residential developments in Melbourne grew in the first quarter of 2024.

The latest edition of the Q1 2024 RLB Crane Index® reveals a measured uptick in crane activity across <a href="/developments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a>, with a 14 per cent rise in residential crane numbers compared to Q3 2023. The total number of residential cranes jumped from 94 to 107.

While heading in the right direction, only two of Melbourne's six main regions recorded gains in crane numbers. Melbourne's north is booming, with 26 cranes added, while there were five added to Melbourne's east.

There's been a jump in large development sites in Melbourne's north which command multiple cranes.&nbsp;

There are now&nbsp;three cranes at HOME in Alphington, two each at Glenvill's&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/yarrabend-alphington-57-parkview-road-alphington">YarraBend</a> in <a href="/developments/alphington-vic-3078">Alphington</a>, Ballarat Street in Brunswick, <a href="/buildings/pace-3058-coburg-9s-wardens-walk-coburg">PACE 3058</a> in <a href="/developments/coburg-vic-3058">Coburg</a> and Hamton's Moonee Valley Park in <a href="/developments/moonee-ponds-vic-3039">Moonee Ponds</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24822 project_image_fid=254449]

The residential sector continues to dominate crane activity in Melbourne, accounting for 55 per cent of all cranes in the city. While an uptick quarter on quarter, the total number of cranes is still five per cent lower than it was this time last year.

Most residential sub-sectors saw lower activity in 2023, with apartments down by 10.8 per cent and new houses down slightly by 0.4 per cent.

A total of 55 cranes were added to residential sites over the past six months, and 42 cranes were removed.

Despite being two of Australia's most populated cities, Sydney has 196 more cranes in the sky than <a href="/new-apartments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a>, which is contributing to the huge undersupply of new property in the Victorian capital.

Inner Melbourne recorded the same number of cranes as Q3 2023.

A total of 38 new cranes were added and the same number of cranes were removed. The residential, commercial and civil sectors each have more than 10 cranes. The sites with the most cranes in inner Melbourne are <a href="/new-apartments/seafarers-docklands-731-flinders-street-docklands">Seafarers</a> by <a href="/new-apartments/docklands-vic-3008">Riverlee</a> in <a href="/developers/riverlee">Docklands</a>, Melbourne Quarter Tower by Lendlease and Local: Kensington.

Sydney's residential tower activity remained stable in the first quarter of 2024.

According to the latest RLB Crane Index® for Q1 2024, there were seven fewer residential cranes compared to Q3 2023. There are 251 cranes active across Sydney currently, which is 64 per cent of Sydney's total crane count.

The index, which tracks crane counts as a proxy for construction activity, indicates that New South Wales continues to be a powerhouse in construction, accounting for nearly half of all cranes in the country.

Nationally, the crane count stands at 869, marking the second-highest count in the history of the index. Of these, 540 cranes are engaged in residential projects.

Among the residential projects contributing to Sydney's crane count are <a href="/buildings/viciniti-2-10-cottonwood-crescent-macquarie-park">Viciniti</a> and <a href="/buildings/destination-114-talavera-road-macquarie-park">Destination</a> in <a href="/developments/macquarie-park-nsw-2113">Macquarie Park</a> with five cranes, and Deicorp's&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/tallawong-village-rouse-hill-shop-30-12-conferta-avenue-tallawong">Tallawong Village</a> with four cranes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106821 project_image_fid=215904]

Certain regions across Sydney saw&nbsp;increased crane activity quarter on quarter. The eastern and northern parts of the city experienced a rise in the number of cranes, while the western region recorded a decrease in crane activity.

Inner Sydney (CBD and surrounds) saw the addition of 37 cranes, against the removal of 41 cranes. This brings the total number of cranes to 86 cranes.

There were new cranes added to ICD's <a href="/new-apartments/sydney-house-194-204-pitt-street-sydney">City Tattersall Club redevelopment</a> on Pitt Street, as well as Annandale's <a href="/new-apartments/abbies-lane-8-mccarthy-lane-annandale">Abbie's Lane</a> by <a href="/developers/ceerose">Ceerose</a>. One Circular Quay saw a crane added, as did Greenland's Park Sydney.

Despite being two of Australia's most populated cities, Sydney has 196 more cranes in the sky than <a href="/new-apartments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a>, which is contributing to the huge undersupply of new property in the Victorian capital.

Among the residential projects contributing to Sydney's crane count are Viciniti and Destination in Macquarie Park with five cranes, and Deicorp's Tallawong Village with four cranes

They have also collaborated with Miriam Fanning-led Mim Design for interiors and <a href="/landscape-architect/dangar-barin-smith">Dangar Barin Smith</a> for landscaping.

When speaking to CBRE's Ben Stewart nearly two years ago when the project hit 50 per cent sold, he said he was&nbsp;seeing buyer enquiry coming in from everywhere from the inner west and lower north shore, with locals from Vaucluse and Dover Heights also showing keen interest.

“It’s really evident how well the apartments match up to what downsizers are looking for, both in size and their finish," Stewart said.

There was even a sale to a soon-to-be downsizing owner-occupier from Point Piper's exclusive Wolseley Road, who were looking for something brand new.

"The apartments on offer&nbsp;a great size, anywhere from&nbsp;200 sqm to 250 sqm internal, while also still incorporating a few special features, such as some feature a swimming pool, or big gardens."

Piper and Fontaine are slated for completion later this year.
