Queensland property developer MAYD Group is set to bring a $350 million luxury hotel and residential masterplan development to North Kirra, lodging plans for a prime 4,742 sqm beachfront site overlooking North Kirra Beach.

The North Kirra project has been inspired by Kirra and the site’s qualities; the size and location, presenting apartment buyers with a unique and limited opportunity to own a prestige apartment overlooking the beach.

MAYD, led by founder and director Todd Mould, amalgamated&nbsp;eight sites fronting Pacific Parade, Golden Four Drive and Musgrave Street. The plans are for a 160-key hotel room and 60 luxury residences including two penthouses and five unique double-storey beach houses.&nbsp;

“We were fortunate to have been able to acquire eight adjoining sites to create one large beachfront site for our signature masterplan at North Kirra,” Mould said.&nbsp;

“The opportunity to develop such a large beachfront site in North Kirra is a rare one that required a development design of architectural excellence and we are very pleased with the plans that we have created in collaboration with award-winning MAS Studio.

“We have been working with Gold Coast City Council on lodging the development application to deliver a landmark building of high distinction for such a prominent site, keeping the local environment and community front of mind."

Positioned at the gateway to the famous Kirra Beach, Coolangatta and Tweed Heads, MAS Studio designed the 10-storey building at 2-6 Pacific Parade&nbsp;in collaboration with award-winning interior design specialists, Mim Design.&nbsp;

“The Gold Coast is a world-renowned tourism and lifestyle destination and spots like Kirra are among the most popular with locals and visitors," Mould added.

"Given the site is just 1km from the Gold Coast Airport that is being expanded for extra capacity to attract new carriers and new international and domestic flight connections, we recognised the need for a five-star hotel, as well as private apartment residences, to meet demand from global travellers and people who work remotely.

“With 90 metres of beach frontage, holidaymakers and residents will enjoy sweeping beach and ocean views from their hotels and apartments, enjoying easy access to the white sands of North Kirra Beach, plus it’s only a short stroll to Kirra where there are restaurants, cafes&nbsp;and boutique stores.”&nbsp;

The residences have been designed with the owner-occupier in mind, offering a range of two, three and four-bedroom floorplans, many even benefitting from multipurpose rooms.&nbsp;

Exclusive to the building's residents will be an array of resort-style amenities, including a private pool area with a sunken lounge and wet edge, a relaxation zone with sauna, shower and spa, yoga lawn, bar, barbecue facilities, a lounge and a cinema. Residents are also set to benefit from the hotel's five-star facilities, including a port cochere, valet room and laundry services, as well as the hotel pool, lounges and restaurant.

MAS Studio director and lead architect Nick Symonds said inspiration for the masterplan design of the North Kirra project responded to the large site’s prominent position at the gateway to Kirra.

“From the outset of our design process, we have been aware of the importance of this highly visible site and the obligation to create a statement entrance to Kirra, while at the same time blending in with the surrounding built forms," Symonds said.

“The design is strongly influenced by local context, reflecting the unique beauty of North Kirra Beach and relaxed beachside lifestyle, elevating it with luxury dwellings for those who share the passion of this unique lifestyle and location."

There will be abundant greenery on the podium, which aims to cool the street where a row of beach houses, complete with their own private green courtyards, will provide a residential scaled address to the street.

“The building designs feature deep usable balconies, sunhoods, screens, and an abundance of greenery to compliment South East Queensland’s sub-tropical climate and provide privacy, while expansive windows capture breathtaking views, drawing in the natural light and air deep into apartments," Symonds added.

MAYD Group is known for developing some of the most exclusive property projects in South East Queensland’s most sought-after postcodes. They are currently in negotiations with a global five-star hotel operator to deliver the luxury beachfront resort, which will be a major bonus for tourism in the southern Gold Coast region.

Amalgamating eight sites fronting Pacific Parade, Golden Four Drive and Musgrave Street has given MAYD the rare opportunity to create a five-star 160-key hotel, complimented by 60 premium private residences, including two penthouses and five unique double-storey beach houses.

Eddy Haddad's Level 33 has continued to pad out its development pipeline.

They've submitted plans to the Georges River Council for a $35 million project across an amalgamated 10-lot, 2,572 sqm site at 1-11 Princes Highway and 1-5 Stanley Street in <a href="/developments/kogarah-bay-nsw-2217">Kogarah Bay</a>.

The 10-level tower will home 112 apartments, a stone's throw away from <a href="/developments/kogarah-nsw-2217">Kogarah</a> Town Centre and <a href="/developments/kogarah-nsw-2217">Kogarah</a> Train Station.

The building has been designed by Tony Owens Partners, who said in their Design Verification Statement submitted to council that the proposal "will provide 112 high quality residential units which is consistent with the objectives of the zone and this precinct."

"Being located in the Town Centre, this is an area well served by existing infrastructure and amenities it is well served by public transport, schools, parks and shops. The additional yield will provide suitable, well designed housing for the area and contribute to this vibrant community."

The building will home commercial space with paved outdoor seating and landscaping facing Princes Highway.

The precinct is zoned for 10-storey apartments, and Tony Owens says it is going through the process of transition of two to four-storey, pre-war flat building and two-storey commercial buildings to higher density developments.

"This can be seen on several blocks directly south of the site between Stanley Street and Regent Street, West of Princes Hwy. This area is characterised by 9-10 storey apartment blocks in close proximity.

"These blocks reflect the current and future character of the area."

July was a busy month for new apartment developments in Brisbane, as the <a href="/developments/brisbane-qld">apartment development pipeline</a> continues to pad out ahead of the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

One of the most significant development applications came from veteran apartment developer Morris Property Group, who have sought to change their approved office tower development to apartments.

We've put together a list of development movements Brisbane's off the plan apartment market in July.

<h2>Forest-laden apartments set for Hamilton's riverfront</h2>

Architecture firm Myers Ellyett says living in <a href="/developments/brisbane-qld">subtropical Brisbane</a> is an experience of living on a verandah. They say being half indoor, and half out, is a life that embraces living with gardens and greenery.

That was their design inspiration for the newest apartment development plans filed in Brisbane, a 14-level tower on a prime site at 92 Kingsford Smith Drive in <a href="/developments/hamilton-qld-4007">Hamilton</a>.

<img alt="Hamilton" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f7fc1151-c4a4-4ad8-9351-da2e909c90f4" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-08-07%20at%2010.30.06%20am.png?VersionId=EjkwkgrXZBTRiD8brjRliH9EiuWUsllz" />

The project will have 62 apartments, a mix of two and three-bedroom units. It will be crowned with a 1,048 sqm rooftop with swimming pool and spa, gym with sauna and yoga lawn, private dining room, wine room, and barbecue area.

Veteran developer Barry Morris has reacted to Brisbane's award of the 2032 Summer Olympic Games by once again pivoting plans for his prime Brisbane CBD site.

Having previously planned an apartment tower, and then pivoting to a $250 million commercial tower, Morris Property Group is now seeking to develop a 33-level residential tower at 19 Eagle Terrace.

<h2>Rare apartment development planned for Paddington</h2>

A striking bureau^proberts-designed development in Brisbane's Paddington is set to test the height limits in the affluent suburb near Suncorp.

The small-scale development at 298 Given Terrace is seeking to push the neighbourhood plan limit by one level, having made amends to the designs following a pre-lodgement council meeting back in late 2021.

<h2>Full-floor apartments set for Potts Point</h2>

Luxury developer Terra Ferma and joint venture partner Knox Group have teamed up on an apartment project in Potts Point.

The boutique nature of the offering, something which Potts Point and the nearby Elizabeth Bay isn't known for, particularly in the new and off the plan apartment space, means apartments are expected to sell for record prices.

Sydney's July development application wrap: What's coming to Sydney's off the plan apartment development market

National property group Traders In Purple has been appointed by the Anglican Diocese of Sydney to lead the urban renewal of St Albans Church at Five Dock.

The future vision for the church site will include a mix of new housing and ground floor amenity to enhance public space and seamless interaction with the adjacent Five Dock Metro Station, currently under construction.

The Sydney Anglican engagement adds to Traders In Purple’s extensive portfolio of partnerships where it has established itself as a trusted partner to Government. It has a significant pipeline of mixed tenure projects with the NSW Land and Housing Corporation valued at over $590 million, and a $300 million mixed use masterplanned community 15 minutes from Hobart, in partnership with Kingborough Council.

Renewal of the Five Dock site will result in a considered mixed-use precinct to include housing, new indoor and outdoor public spaces as well as office and retail uses that will deliver recurrent income to the Diocese.

As part of the site renewal, careful restoration of the heritage listed St Albans Church, whose foundation stone was laid in 1858, will be undertaken as well as adaptive reuse of Ridley Hall for a restaurant, community and commercial uses.

Traders In Purple will now begin church restoration works and commence discussions with Canada Bay Council and the NSW Government on planning approvals for the 4,014 sqm site. It is anticipated the planning proposal will be lodged mid-year.

<img alt="Traders Five Dock" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="105c3630-c1fe-4532-aac8-495591a243ef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-06-13%20at%2012.26.24%20pm.png?VersionId=sORlNiY1UZMNdj.3K9Q5NW_trFupBBrJ" />

Traders In Purple Director George Geagea said the company was looking forward to partnering with the Anglican Diocese to realise a number of benefits for its church community and the broader public.

“We look forward to enhancing St Albans Church and Ridley Hall so that the Five Dock community can continue to enjoy these much-loved local landmarks,” said Geagea.

“Our approach to heritage and expertise in the delivery of mixed tenure housing was an important factor in the Diocesan decision to engage Traders In Purple. We respect and enjoy working with the complexities of heritage properties and have demonstrated our capability in adaptive reuse of many local treasures.

"Together we are seeking to revitalise the heritage buildings to ensure that they continue to play the vital roles in the community’s life that they have for so many decades.”

Traders In Purple was recognised with a 2021 UDIA National Award for Excellence for “The Abbey” in Cronulla, an adaptive reuse of a Uniting Church and Sunday School Hall into luxury residences. Its restoration of the Sisters of Mercy Chapel in Goulburn and the historic Greyleigh homestead in the Kiama hinterland as a luxury boutique accommodation and wedding venue are among the group’s portfolio of heritage passion projects. Its Correa Gardens community housing development won the Urban Taskforce Award for Affordable Residential Development last year.

The Five Dock project is part of the Sydney Anglican Urban Renewal Pilot Program (URPP), the aim of which is to activate church properties across the Sydney Diocese to become vital community hubs.

Geagea said the Five Dock Metro Station adjacent to St Albans presented the ideal opportunity to deliver urgently needed new housing in a well-established inner-west suburb.

“Transport infrastructure is the key to sustainable housing growth,” said Geagea.

“It enables a walkable lifestyle where people are not car dependent and have easy access to shops, schools, restaurants, cafes and open space.

“Sydney’s housing affordability and rental crisis cannot be solved without building more homes to meet the increase in population. Rather than pushing people out to the city fringe, suburbs such as Five Dock are ideally placed to absorb some of this growth, giving young people and families a chance for a home and a fulfilling lifestyle, close to where they work.”

The future vision for the church site will include a mix of new housing and ground floor amenity to enhance public space and seamless interaction with the adjacent Five Dock Metro Station, currently under construction

Traders in Purple to lead St Albans Church urban renewal project in Five Dock

Ellipse Property Group has received approval from the Hills Shire Council to develop its $850 million masterplanned community, Carrington Place, in Castle Hill.

The huge 3.2 hectare project, which will be the largest residential project in Castle Hill when it hits the market later this year, will bring five buildings with 771 apartments to the burgeoning Hills District.

The first stage to be released to the market will be Atrium, the gateway building to the new urban village. There will be 151 apartments on offer across the eight-level building which will feature a rooftop with recreational spaces which will have views of the surrounding landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216766]

Tony Own Partners, in collaboration with Stanisic Architects, have designed the buildings to blend with the surrounding&nbsp;natural landscapes while complementing the curve of the tranquil Cattai Creek which runs along the western border of the development.

There will be around 20,000 sqm of outdoor recreational space across the whole site, made up of recreational space, and gardens conceived by landscape architect Site Image Landscape Architects.

A key feature of the project will be a one-kilometre boardwalk running the length of the Cattai Creek connecting to Fred Caterson Reserve, a 58-hectare local reserve featuring picnic tables, children’s playgrounds, along with multiple sports facilities.

Ellipse Property, who bought the site in 2016, has committed to dedicate over 6500 sqm of the Cattai Creek back to the community in this masterplan.

Ellipse Property has also worked closely with the local council on the revegetation management and landscaping of the Cattai Creek Masterplan spanning the Carrington Place site known locally as ‘The Green Belt’. The area is home to an array of wildlife, flora and fauna, in particular The Powerful Owl, the largest owl on the Australian continent.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216770]

Carrington Place Project Director Joseph Chiha emphasized that Carrington Place is envisioned as a multi-staged urban village with a strong connection to nature, prioritizing lifestyle, sustainability, and community.

"The project seamlessly blends with the surrounding nature and aims to become one of Sydney's most sustainable urban communities,&nbsp;Chiha said.

Ellipse Property Founder Sam El Rihani said Carrington Place represents a significant milestone for the company, as evidenced by the anticipation surrounding its highly anticipated launch.

"At Ellipse Property, we believe in creating more than just buildings; we strive to develop thriving communities," El Rihani said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216769]

"With Carrington Place, our goal is to foster a sense of belonging and connection among residents. We envision a place where neighbours become friends, where families create lasting memories, and where the community flourishes together."

Each tower within the development will achieve a minimum average 6-star NATHERS rating.

Located directly opposite The Hills Showground Metro Station, Carrington Place will provide future residents with connectivity to Sydney’s CBD, Chatswood, North Sydney, Macquarie Park and Norwest Business Park.

Construction is planned to commence in Q3 2023 with Stage 1 Atrium due for completion in Q3 2025. The entire five-stage precinct is due for completion in 2032.

The huge 3.2 hectare project, which will be the largest residential project in Castle Hill when it hits the market later this year, will bring five buildings with 771 apartments to the burgeoning Hills District.
