Construction is well underway at Devitt Property Group's St Kilda Road development, The Muse.&nbsp;

Devitt Property Group, led by industry veteran Peter Devitt, appointed LU Simon, where he is a director and part owner, to handle the build of the <a href="/new-apartments/the-muse-409-413-st-kilda-road-melbourne">14-level development at 409-413 St Kilda Road</a>, which has been a long time in the making.

Devitt acquired the land 18 years ago with the intention of creating a landmark development. However, the project hit a snag in 2017 when objections from residents in a nearby building raised concerns about its potential impact on the historic Fawkner Park.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5391 project_image_fid=79557]

Designed in collaboration between Bruce Henderson Architects and Bruce Henderson Interiors, The Muse now comprises just 42 residences across 14 levels, including a double-storey penthouse which hit the market in 2018 with a price tag of $45 million. The penthouse spans over 1,000 sqm and features an additional 190 sqm of terraces, providing views of the bay, city skyline, and the Royal Botanic Gardens.

The penthouse is a true symbol of extravagance, equipped with lavish amenities and advanced technology. It boasts a self-cleaning toilet from the esteemed Japanese brand Toto, which operates automatically with sensor activation, along with a private swimming pool, billiard room, wine room, gym, steam room, and circadian rhythm lights to aid residents in adjusting after overseas travel.

The Muse will also implement cutting-edge security measures, including facial, fingerprint, and number plate recognition technology. Residents will enjoy hi-tech home automation systems that automatically summon lifts upon entry, control air conditioning, and even prepare the kettle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5391 project_image_fid=79565]

Every apartment within The Muse has been designed as though it were a unique home, with handcrafted fittings and an emphasis on luxury and elegance. The architectural inspiration harkens back to the grandeur of New York City and the artistic allure of the 1920's and 1930's jazz age, as well as the sophistication of luxury car designs by renowned brands such as Delage, Delahaye, Packard, and Duesenberg.

The architecture of The Muse reflects a delicate and feminine form, characterised by graceful curves, transparency, and an abundance of light. Circular motifs are a recurring theme, showcased in the floorplans and incorporated into the Paul Bangay landscaping concept. Circular swimming pools, curved island benches in the kitchens, and round baths in the ensuites all add to the sense of timeless luxury.

"A Domain Precinct address places you on the cusp of all that is great and wondrous about Melbourne," Bruce Henderson said of the project.

"It is a lifestyle unlike any other."

Construction is slated to wrap on the development in 2024.&nbsp;

Greenland and joint venture partners Golden Horse Australia have broken ground at Arbor, the second stage at their Erskineville masterplan, Park Sydney.

Arbor, which was first released in late 2021, will comprise 165 apartments, following the completed stage one buildings, Botany and Cascade.

Designed by award-winning Turner Architects, Arbor reflects the heritage of Erskineville’s terrace-lined streets, as well as the local area’s distinct sense of energy and creativity.

Arbor comprises a mix of studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments starting from $693,000.&nbsp;

Since launching Botany and Cascade back in 2018, Park Sydney has become a thriving community and home to 330 residents, with 100 per cent of the completed apartments fully sold.

Construction partners Alliance Project Group and Mainland Civil have completed the site preparation works on the site which straddles Mitchell Road and Ashmore Street.

Park Sydney, one of the last and largest unencumbered freehold parcels of land in the City of Sydney, is located just four kilometres from the Sydney CBD. It already features a number of pocket parks, anchored by the 7,446 sqm McPherson Park.

There's a Woolworths Metro and a childcare facility already part of the development. It's just a short walk to Erskineville Train Station, as well as the 40-hectare Sydney Park and Erskineville Oval located just a few hundred metres away.

Arbor will be the final stage of Park Sydney handled by Greenland. Last year they <a href="/news/nsw/coronation-property-plan-over-1-000-apartments-at-newly-acquired-park-sydney-erskineville-site">sold five hectares of Park Sydney for $315 million to Coronation Property</a>, who will add a further 1,000 apartments to the community, as well as 5,000 sqm of retail.

Mirvac has officially commenced construction at their $2 billion revitalization of Sydney's Harbourside mixed-use precinct on Darling Harbour.

"Our cultural commitment continues as we work with the community, and partner with Bila Heritage to continue to bring Harbourside to life in a way that is truly connected to Country.

“Sites like this are incredibly rare when you consider the proximity to the CBD, the existing and future pedestrian linkages, access to public transport and other critical infrastructure. We are proud to be starting the development at Harbourside that will elevate this precinct as a legacy Sydney destination and a place to live, work, shop and enjoy.”

Subject to final approvals, the new Harbourside project deliver 10,000 sqm of public open space, including a new waterfront with restaurants, bars, national and international retailers, a new 3,500 square metre park and connections from Pyrmont to the waterfront, including $50 million in public domain funding and $7 million in public art and activation.

In the tranquil coastal suburb of Burleigh Heads, construction on a collection of four luxury townhomes is nearing completion.

The development plans for <a href="/buildings/beju-residences-8-bullimah-avenue-burleigh-heads">Beju Residences</a> were <a href="/news/qld/townhouse-style-dwellings-set-for-burleigh-heads-site">initially lodged in May last year</a> by sporting power couple Erin Holland and Ben Cutting, in a joint venture between their company, Golconda Property Group, K2 Projects, and EM Design.

Set across a 550 sqm site at 8 Bullimah Avenue, each three-level residence comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a double garage.

One of the standout features of the exclusive residences is the open nature of the roof terrace, which offers a private and inviting space for the occupants of each dwelling. With views of the surrounding area, the roof terrace is equipped with a stairway, lift, powder room, and laundry facilities.

The orientation of each townhome has been carefully considered to maximise natural light and capture the beauty of the surroundings. All four townhouses benefit from a desirable north-eastern aspect, while residences one and four also enjoy additional aspects to the east and north-west.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112779 project_image_fid=207095]

Residents will appreciate the convenience of a short 50-metre stroll to the foreshore of Tallebudgera Creek, where they can immerse themselves in the natural surrounds.&nbsp;

The townhomes offer spacious open-plan living areas that seamlessly connect to expansive balconies, providing a perfect setting for relaxation and entertainment.

The entertainer's kitchen is a focal point of each residence, featuring top-of-the-line SMEG Dolce Stil Novo appliances and a large butler's pantry. The master bedroom offers a touch of opulence, with a spacious walk-in robe and a dual vanity ensuite. Abundant storage, ducted air-conditioning, and timber flooring further enhance the luxurious living experience.
