Property developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gamuda-land">Gamuda Land</a> has topped out its Fareham apartment development on St Kilda Road.

Markscon has completed the 16-storey structure and remains on track to deliver the entire building by early 2026.

“Topping out marks more than just structural progress — it represents our long-term vision to create sustainable, well-integrated neighbourhoods that add real value to the communities around them,” said Jess Teng, Chief Operating Officer, Gamuda Land.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/fareham-st-kilda-95-st-kilda-road-st-kilda-vic-3182">Fareham</a>, one of the few new developments currently on the market in St Kilda, responds directly to its location along the iconic St Kilda Road. The project is targeting an average 8-star NatHERS rating, well above standard requirements for new apartment buildings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=137950 project_image_fid=281439]

The development incorporates a range of sustainable features that support energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and long-term operational performance. Fareham is enabled to operate on zero carbon energy, including an onsite 20kW array and access to 100% renewable electricity. As an all-electric building, Fareham has been designed without gas connections, further supporting low-emission living.

Its design includes open-air internal corridors — among the tallest of their kind in Melbourne — and enables cross-flow ventilation in 80% of apartments. High levels of daylight access to living and bedroom areas enhance thermal comfort and reduce reliance on artificial lighting. Water-sensitive design has also been integrated, with rainwater collected and reused for landscape irrigation and toilet flushing.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=137950 project_image_fid=281447]

With just five apartments per floor, Fareham offers a low-density living environment that prioritises privacy and space. Its architectural form and orientation take cues from the surrounding coastal character, maximising natural light, breezes, and views — evoking the openness and comfort of beachside living.

Located within close reach of St Kilda Beach, Fitzroy Street’s dining scene, and Albert Park Lake, the development is also well-connected to public transport and cultural destinations across Melbourne.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=137950 project_image_fid=281446]

Gamuda Land is progressing on a similar timeline with its other Melbourne apartment project, The Canopy in Fishermans Bend, which also recently topped out and is scheduled for completion in early 2026. That project is being delivered by Crema Constructions.

“At both Fishermans Bend and St Kilda Road, we’ve embedded environmental performance and community benefit from the earliest stages," Teng added.

"These projects are not only designed for lower operational impact but also to elevate liveability for residents. We believe that sustainable urban homes must be thoughtful, resilient, and connected — and these developments reflect that ethos.”

Gamuda currently has over 60 infrastructure and engineering projects underway across Australia. It recently expanded its local presence through the acquisition of DT Infrastructure and Tunnelling Solutions (TunSol) — the infrastructure projects division of ASX-listed Downer Group.

“This is a community we deeply respect, and we’re proud to contribute with a project that reflects the character, energy, and potential of Crows Nest,"&nbsp;Deiri said.

The Kensington, one of the latest apartment projects by longstanding Sydney developer TOGA, has hit a major milestone.

The Anzac Parade building has officially topped out under the watchful eye of Gold Star iCIRT-rated builder DASCO, who can start to turn their attention toward the exterior of the building, and the fitout of the&nbsp;142 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments strategically located opposite the Kensington Light Rail stop.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110959 project_image_fid=307645]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/the-kensington-147-151-anzac-parade-kensington-nsw-2033">The Kensington</a>'s design, in collaboration with award-winning design firm <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/turner-studio">Turner Studio</a>, aims to reflect the charm of Kensington through its use of face brickwork, while offering contemporary, high-quality living spaces.&nbsp;

A standout feature is the communal rooftop garden, which provides sweeping views over the surrounding parklands and Randwick Racecourse.

The project also features retail spaces on the ground floor, aimed at offering convenience and services for residents and the local community. With private entrances for the SOHO terraces, these spaces are well-suited for small businesses or entrepreneurs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110959 project_image_fid=307661]

Apartments in The Kensington cater to a broad range of buyers, with one, two, and three-bedroom layouts available. The mix also includes a limited number of SOHO properties, offering flexible spaces that suit both living and business needs.&nbsp;

Prices are positioned in the luxury segment, with premium finishes, spacious floor plans, and an emphasis on seamless indoor-outdoor living.&nbsp;

Each apartment has been designed to adapt to modern lifestyle trends, including work-from-home arrangements, by integrating study areas in most layouts.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110959 project_image_fid=307651]

Kensington has become one of the more sought-after locations in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. Situated just 200 metres from the Kensington Light Rail stop and within a 10-minute drive to both the CBD and Coogee Beach, The Kensington offers a highly accessible location with a distinctly coastal-city lifestyle.&nbsp;

The area continues to see significant investment and development, driven by its proximity to major institutions such as the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and Prince of Wales Hospital.&nbsp;

The increasing demand for property in the area is reflected in a tightening rental market, with low vacancy rates contributing to positive fundamentals for development projects like this.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110959 project_image_fid=307652]

TOGA, a well-established Australian developer, is known for its solid track record in delivering residential projects. With over 60 years of experience, the company is backed by a reputation for quality construction and innovation.&nbsp;

The Kensington marks a significant step in TOGA’s broader vision for revitalising the Anzac Parade corridor, contributing to the creation of a vibrant new residential and business precinct in the area.&nbsp;

Residents will move in midway through 2026.

Perth developer DevWest is approaching completion of its latest new apartment development, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/olive-st-263-hay-street-subiaco-wa-6008">Olive St</a> in Subiaco.

Due for completion next month,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/olive-st-263-hay-street-subiaco-wa-6008">Olive St</a>&nbsp;offers a rare opportunity to buy a brand new apartment in a suburb that gives its residents "a little bit of everything."

Nicole Jones from Jones Realty says&nbsp;Olive St strikes a unique balance between boutique living and urban convenience.

"Buyers are drawn to the fact that they can experience the best of both worlds – the calm of a quieter street, yet with direct access to the vibrant heart of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/subiaco-wa-6008">Subiaco</a>," Jones says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106968 project_image_fid=3037]

Olive St consists of just 71 apartments across six levels, and is one of the few new apartment developments in the area. Olive St is designed as a low-rise, boutique offering that appeals to those seeking a more personal, community-oriented living experience.&nbsp;

The apartments range from two-bedroom to three-bedroom configurations, with all one-bedroom apartments already sold out. Prices start from $839,000, making Olive St a considerably more affordable alternative to Subiaco's soaring house market, which has jumped by over seven per cent in the last 12 months to just shy of $1.8 million.

Olive St's design puts practical living at the forefront. Each apartment features an open-plan living space that flows out to a spacious terrace or balcony.&nbsp;North-facing units, in particular, have been well-received for their natural light and views that extend across Subiaco.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106968 project_image_fid=3032]

The building's amenities take the same thoughtful approach. A co-working hub, gym, BBQ area, and residents’ lounge are all part of the package, ensuring there are spaces for relaxation, socialising, and working from home.&nbsp;

The co-working hub caters to the growing number of professionals seeking a flexible work environment without leaving the comfort of their apartment.

“It’s a real shift towards what people need today,” Jones adds.

“We’re seeing a lot of interest from buyers looking for a home that offers flexibility, especially with more people working remotely.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106968 project_image_fid=3028]

The demand for Olive St has been strong, with buyers from various demographics expressing interest. Jones explains that the development is drawing a mix of local professionals and downsizers seeking a low-maintenance, lock-and-leave lifestyle, to families and couples looking for more space.&nbsp;

Investors have also been active, with many securing the one-bedroom apartments early in the sales process. The inclusion of commercial spaces and the planned co-working hubs within the development ensures that Olive St will remain a highly attractive place for a diverse range of residents, further solidifying its potential for strong rental yields.

There is still an opportunity to take advantage of stamp duty savings of up to $50,000 before construction is completed, with a limited number of apartments remaining.

Sunshine Coast developer&nbsp;Habitat Development Group is set to break ground on its latest Sunshine Coast project, The Millwell.

Habitat will officially turn the first sod at the start of July at the Millwell Road East site, adjacent to the Sunshine Plaza and fronting the Cornmeal Creek.

<a href="/new-apartments/the-millwell-2-millwell-road-east-maroochydore">The Millwell</a> continues Habitat’s strong momentum in Maroochydore, where the Brisbane-based developer has already delivered Market Lane Residences and The Corso Collection.

The $243 million project will deliver 205 apartments across two eight-level towers, designed by long-time Habitat collaborator <a href="/architects/k-architecture">K Architecture</a>.&nbsp;

A mix of two, three, and four-bedroom residences, including four premium penthouses, will be complemented by 361 sqm of ground-floor commercial and retail space.

Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli will join Habitat Managing Director Cleighton Clark to officiate the ceremony, marking a symbolic moment for both the developer and the region.&nbsp;

Clark said The Millwell has been designed to meet this sustained demand with larger format apartments and elevated amenities.

The Millwell will offer a suite of high-end amenities for residents, headlined by the Sunshine Coast’s first 25-metre rooftop infinity-edge pool.&nbsp;

The rooftop terrace, complete with subtropical landscaping and sweeping 360-degree views, will also feature an independently operated spa and wellness centre, private dining rooms, a rooftop bar, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and communal areas designed to foster a vibrant community.

Views will span across the Maroochydore River and Mount Coolum to the north, Mount Buderim and Point Cartwright to the south, and the beaches and hinterland of the wider Sunshine Coast region.

The project comes at a time when the Sunshine Coast rental market continues to tighten, with historically low vacancy rates driving interest from both investors and owner-occupiers.&nbsp;

In a move that signals the next chapter for Green Square’s transformation, <a href="/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> will break ground next week on The Avenues, a $874 million mixed-use precinct that will see a former industrial site in Zetland turned into a new residential neighbourhood over the coming years.

The 2.87-hectare site on Joynton Avenue, previously home to an Ausgrid depot, sits just four kilometres from the Sydney CBD and forms part of the broader Green Square renewal zone.&nbsp;

Construction will begin with a ceremonial sod-turn led by Deicorp founder Fouad Deiri.

Once complete, <a href="/new-apartments/the-avenues-zetland-130-joynton-avenue-nsw-2017">The Avenues</a> will deliver 624 apartments across nine buildings, along with curated ground-floor retail, purpose-built student housing and build-to-rent dwellings delivered in partnership with Scape. It's one of the largest developments to be launched in Sydney’s inner south in recent years, and one that takes a layered approach to scale, tenure and architecture.

<img alt="The Avenues" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9c6fdda5-6201-4668-b2d2-801edbb30dfa" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-06-17%20at%202.06.57%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=H_2kWnz0IkU5x03esnCmO1x4WwNeLHpR" />

Designed by <a href="/architects/fk-australia">Fender Katsalidis</a>, <a href="/architects/candalepas-associates">Candalepas Associates</a> and Lachlan Seegers Architects, the buildings vary in height and form, from eight to 14 levels. Each has been designed to respond to context: earth-toned brick facades, generous landscaped streets, and active retail edges aim to bring a pedestrian rhythm to what’s long been a closed-off site.

Public space is a key part of the plan. A $16 million package of park and infrastructure upgrades is tied to the project, including improvements to neighbouring Woolwash and Biyanbing Parks.

<img alt="Avenues" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7fa0eedc-112b-4975-b21b-8deb66e059dd" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-06-17%20at%202.06.57%E2%80%AFPM_0.png?VersionId=dq.iJ1sqpbaQILqTuMVr6cbwHQuzYmOL" />

In contrast to the typical strata-only model, Deicorp’s plan integrates a mix of market apartments, long-term rentals and student housing, an increasingly common formula in inner-city regeneration precincts like Green Square and Waterloo. The precinct will also include over 800 sqm of commercial and retail space, with tenancy types ranging from cafes and bistros to small-format grocery and convenience stores.

The developer says the design prioritises sustainable performance and thermal comfort, with high-performance façades, natural ventilation, and external shading systems planned to meet SEPP 2022 and BASIX targets.

<a href="/developments/zetland-nsw-2017">Zetland</a> has rapidly shifted from an industrial edge suburb to one of Sydney’s densest residential postcodes, driven largely by its rail connection and proximity to the city. Yet many parts of the suburb remain transitional. The Avenues aims to stitch one of its largest remaining brownfield parcels back into the urban grid, just a short walk from Green Square Station and the Gunyama Park precinct.

The project continues Deicorp’s active pipeline across metropolitan Sydney, with other projects underway or in planning in Parramatta, Melrose Park, Crows Nest and the Hills District.

Local Gold Coast developer&nbsp;<a href="/developers/aniko-group">Aniko Group</a> has officially launched the first stage of The Landmark, a $2.5 billion masterplanned, mixed-use development in Mermaid Beach.

With construction now underway, the project marks one of the most ambitious and transformative undertakings in Queensland’s recent history.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134338 project_image_fid=311027]

The Landmark will comprise four towers with a mix of apartments, premium commercial space, fine dining, and a 5-star internationally branded hotel.

The first stage of the project will complete in 2027,&nbsp;through Aniko's own construction arm, Aniko Constructions. 240 apartments are part of the first release.

George Mastrocostas, Founder and Managing Director of Aniko Group, said the project has been years in the making.

"[It]&nbsp;embodies our long-held aspiration to create something truly exceptional,” Mastrocostas said.

“To simultaneously launch and begin construction on <a href="/new-apartments/the-landmark-mermaid-beach-14-seaview-avenue-mermaid-beach-qld-4218">The Landmark</a> represents more than just a milestone; it’s a clear and confident statement about our intent and capability."

“Having our in-house construction team build The Landmark allows us to maintain oversight across every detail and progress with absolute confidence, even as the broader industry faces significant headwinds.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134338 project_image_fid=311028]

Located on the corner of Seaview Avenue, the site places residents within walking distance of Pacific Fair, The Star Casino, and the bustling precincts of Broadbeach and Mermaid Beach.

Created in collaboration with acclaimed design firm <a href="/architects/plus-architecture">Plus Architecture</a>, the residences feature spacious two- and three-bedroom layouts, many with dedicated study nooks, designed to capture panoramic views of the coastline, hinterland, and cityscape.

A suite of amenities will be available exclusively to residents, including a lagoon pool, pickleball court, golf simulator, arcade, Pilates studio, spa, sauna, and a state-of-the-art gym.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134338 project_image_fid=311033]

“We’ve imagined The Landmark as far more than a place to live, it’s a lifestyle precinct that brings together community, wellness, entertainment, and world-class design,” Mastrocostas added.

“We’re proud to contribute something of enduring value to the Gold Coast. This development will generate jobs, elevate expectations, and enrich the urban fabric of our city. It’s a privilege to play a role in shaping that future.”

Construction of stage one is now underway.

A landmark gated community on the Gold Coast’s Isle of Capri is nearing completion, with <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri-qld-4217">Capri Villas</a> unveiling its suite of private, resort-style amenities ahead of welcoming residents later this year.&nbsp;

Priced from $2.4 million, only 10 of the 48 architecturally designed villas remain available.

Developed by <a href="/developers/monaco-property-group">Monaco Property Group</a>, the community offers one of the most comprehensive amenity offerings ever delivered on the exclusive island, including a designer pool with submerged lounges, a resident lounge, outdoor BBQ and dining pavilion, all set within secure landscaped surrounds.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=341928]

Designed by <a href="/architects/plus-architecture">Plus Architecture</a>, each of the villas has been carefully considered, from solid concrete construction and suspended slabs to soaring double-height entry voids and spa-style master ensuites with freestanding tubs.&nbsp;

Engineered timber floors, natural stone surfaces, and expansive glazing create a warm, tactile environment, while outdoor courtyards and custom joinery encourage seamless indoor-outdoor living.&nbsp;

Open-plan interiors are anchored by statement kitchens, each equipped with premium Gaggenau appliances, Vintec wine fridges, integrated French-door refrigerators, natural stone island benchtops, hidden walk-in pantries, and soft-close cabinetry, designed for both form and function, whether entertaining or enjoying everyday life.&nbsp;

Each villa features three or four bedrooms, open-plan living, private courtyards, secure double garage, a configuration that has resonated with downsizers and lifestyle-driven buyers seeking low-maintenance living with quality and space.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=341930]

Capri Villas will host a public Open Day on Saturday, June 14, offering guests the first look at the newly completed Villa 1 Display Suite and unveiling of the resort-style amenities. Visitors can experience the Capri lifestyle firsthand while enjoying freshly brewed coffee and light nibbles from local Isle of Capri favourites Bisou Bakery and Manolas.

Jonathan Grasso, co-founder of developer Monaco Property Group, said the strong early sales reflected the demand for homes that deliver not only on design but on amenity and location.&nbsp;

“Capri Villas has attracted a high level of interest from both local and interstate downsizers looking for a secure, low-maintenance home without compromise," Grasso said.

"We’re also seeing a growing number of families purchasing for their children as a way to help them enter the property market in a meaningful way. The combination of premium design, gated security, shared amenities, and a central address has drawn in residents who value quality, privacy, and a true sense of place.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=341929]

Located at 81 Salerno Street, Capri is just 800 metres from the Capri on Via Roma retail and dining precinct, and within easy reach of schools, the beach, and Gold Coast cultural and health hubs.&nbsp;

Construction is being delivered by award-winning builder <a href="/builders/greyburn">Greyburn</a>, with the first residents expected to move in from late July and final handovers completed before the end of the year.

Capri prepares to welcome residents to resort-style villa community on Isle of Capri

Developer <a href="/developers/time-place">Time &amp; Place</a> and its joint venture partners MaxCap Group and <a href="/builders/hickory">Hickory</a>, have announced a significant construction milestone for <a href="/new-apartments/the-queensbridge-building-southbank-90-queensbridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The Queensbridge Building</a>, with the project officially topping out and reaching its full height at 65-levels and 209 metres tall.&nbsp;

Celebrating the building’s structure reaching completion and acknowledging the hard work from construction workers and trades to achieve this in a safe and timely manner, particularly given the current construction climate, The Queensbridge Building’s topping out marks a major step towards welcoming its new residents home to the 353 apartments in Q4 2025.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=272082]

It is also a milestone that serves as an early indicator of the upcoming opening of the signature component of the unique development, the Hannah St. Hotel.&nbsp;

The 188-key boutique hotel has been the focus of the design and brand team at Time &amp; Place and is the newest design-led property to join the Collection by TFE Hotels portfolio.&nbsp;

Collection Hotels, including the recently opened The EVE Hotel Sydney, are committed to quality design, exceptional experience, and connection to their community. Each is independently owned, with management services provided by TFE Hotels.&nbsp;

As the only high-rise residential tower in Southbank set for completion in 2025, The Queensbridge Building achieving topping out reinforces confidence for existing purchasers and prospective buyers in a current market where off the plan project delays are not uncommon. &nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=272078]

Built by Hickory, renowned for its large-scale, high-quality developments across Australia, The Queensbridge Building’s future residents can be confident that their homes will be delivered to the highest standard, reflecting Hickory’s proven track record in luxury, high-density living.&nbsp;

Architects&nbsp;<a href="/architects/fraser-partners-0">Fraser &amp; Partners</a> worked alongside Time &amp; Place and the award-winning interior designer David Flack from <a href="/architects/flack-studio">Flack Studio</a>&nbsp;to design the timeless architecture that has become The Queensbridge Building.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=272079]

The development features a series of luxe residential amenities including private rooftop terraces, lush gardens, lap pool, wellness studios, co-working space, and The Clubhouse for residents which will be serviced by the Hannah St. Hotel.

The hotel lobby and food and beverage will be located adjacent to the residential lobby and create a unique hospitality element to the precinct that significantly enhances the building’s overall services on offer, providing a unique premium experience for residents.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=272090]

With The Queensbridge Building now directing attention to interior fit-outs to reach its full completion, Time &amp; Place is excited to add yet another leading residential development to their growing $5 billion development portfolio.&nbsp;

Tim Price, Founder and Director of Time &amp; Place, said the topping-out milestone was a proud moment for the project and a testament to the team’s dedication.&nbsp;

“This is a momentous step towards delivering The Queensbridge Building, and the dedication from our partners, Hickory and MaxCap Group, ensures a project of exceptional quality," Price said.

"Reaching this point gives buyers confidence that their home will be delivered on time, meeting the high expectations we’ve communicated from the outset."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=272093]

Simon Hulett, Head of Direct Investment at MaxCap Group, highlighted the significance of the construction milestone.&nbsp;

“Reaching this milestone for a tower of this height, scale, and complexity reflects the superior execution capabilities of our partners, Hickory and Time &amp; Place," Hulett says.

Construction of the landmark <a href="/new-apartments/sydney-house-194-204-pitt-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Sydney House</a> mixed-use development, a joint venture spearheaded by <a href="/developers/first-sponsor">First Sponsor</a> and <a href="/developers/icd-property">ICD Property</a>, is forging ahead and moving into the next stage of the construction program.

The iconic project in the heart of Sydney’s CBD is on track for delivery in 2027.

Designed by acclaimed architects, <a href="/architects/bvn-architecture">BVN Architecture</a> (for the tower and interiors), and FJC Studio (for the heritage podium),&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/sydney-house-194-204-pitt-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Sydney House</a> will comprise 241 premium residences atop a 135-room hotel.

“The installation of the site’s third tower crane is now complete, marking a significant milestone in the project’s delivery, which will see further efficiencies as we work through the structure, with the site’s core reaching level 7 and structural slabs reaching level 3 by the end of May,” Hicks said.

“A significant and unique component of this project is the meticulous retention and protection of heritage elements, reflecting Sydney House’s commitment to preserving its historic character while delivering a modern, world-class development that enhances the site’s significance for generations to come."

Hicks said that three of the four buildings will see&nbsp;significant heritage retention and restoration to both facades and key internal elements.

"So far, the heritage works on site have seen the retention of the remaining heritage fabric across key areas such as the façade elements, the Lower Bar, Sydney Room, Corinthian Room, and Billiard Room, which are all now fully secured and protected.&nbsp;These richly detailed spaces — each with architectural and cultural significance — have undergone careful salvation of heritage material, which will be preserved and reused in the completed building."

Hick said the&nbsp;respectful integration of new structure with the historic core is central to the vision for Sydney House.

“By preserving character-defining elements and embedding them into the future of the building, we’re honouring the site’s legacy while creating an enduring new chapter.”

Sydney House continues to track well against its program and promises to be a striking blend of heritage and innovation in Sydney’s cityscape by 2027.

Richard Crookes Construction is renowned for its meticulous, exceptional quality of construction in high-end residential projects such as the Sirius building in The Rocks.

First Sponsor and ICD Property echoed the sentiment regarding the development, noting that the project is well on track to becoming a new architectural icon for Sydney.

“Sydney House is more than just a building – it’s a legacy project that reflects our shared vision for delivering a truly exemplary project befitting its CBD location, set within one of the city’s most prestigious enclaves,” said a spokesperson for the joint venture.

The next phase of construction will see the tower core continue to rise, alongside internal fit-outs and façade installation, with completion expected in Q4 2027.
