The redevelopment of the former Balmain Leagues Club has taken a big step forward.

The Inner West Council has signed off on amendments to <a href="/new-apartments/rozelle-village-rozelle-152-victoria-road-rozelle-nsw-2039">Rozelle Village</a>, the new apartment and retail precinct by Sydney developer Heworth. The amendments were to improve the&nbsp;original design scheme, namely changing the retail plaza and designs of the apartments.

<a href="/new-apartments/rozelle-village-rozelle-152-victoria-road-rozelle-nsw-2039">Rozelle Village</a> is set to significantly enhance and complement the local retail precinct and provide a new community hub for the much-loved inner-west suburb.

The site, located on the prominent corner site of Victoria Road, Darling and Waterloo Streets, was originally approved to develop 167 apartments across three towers, with all buildings connected above a shared retail and commercial podium.

Heworth has worked closely with architecture practice Scott Carver to improve the overall design scheme to ensure the final development will become a welcomed new addition and destination for the local community. The commercial area will include a new, state of the art, Wests Ashfield Leagues Club.

The amendments see apartment numbers drop from 167 to 149, and the mix change to increase the number of&nbsp;two bedroom and three bedroom apartments.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b1750562-39c5-440c-842e-7bba96877b01" href="/new-apartments/rozelle-village-rozelle-152-victoria-road-rozelle-nsw-2039"><img alt="Rozelle" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Track%20Listing%20CTA%20template%20-%20landscape%20%282%29.jpg?VersionId=HZQWX3uf7h3Tj9vFKbATmh_HS_3PkgIL" /></a>

Heworth Head of Property, Chris Walsh said the significant improvements to&nbsp;the overall design scheme will benefit the local community, as well as residents.

“A key focus of our development is a new village square, public plaza and major retail and hospitality podium connected by a series of laneways," Walsh said.

"It’s going to significantly contribute to Rozelle and become a major community meeting place and destination.

“Our apartment mix, now reduced in number to 149, will comprise an increased number of larger two and three bedroom apartments as we feel the larger size floor plates and premium interior architecture, fixtures and fittings, will appeal to discerning local owner-occupiers, particularly downsizers.”

Rozelle Village’s bespoke retail precinct will be anchored by a major supermarket, providing greatly increased convenience to the local area.

Early site works are now underway with demolition planned to commence later in 2023. Rozelle Village is expected to be completed by 2026.

Rozelle Village gets closer to launch after improved plans greenlit

Tim Gurner's GURNERTM has secured a trophy site in Sydney's Barangaroo area, with a view to develop two towers of apartments.

The $800 million project at 189 Kent Street is the first&nbsp;seed site to have capital deployed within the developer’s $2 billion Build-to-Sell development fund, which is backed by a global institutional investor.

The 1,195sqm site, which adjoins the Barangaroo precinct, currently houses a commercial office tower that was built in the 1960s, with current tenancies in place that GURNERTM will hold until completion of leases. The site has recently been granted planning approval for a residential development after a lengthy approval process by the site’s vendor Barana Group, who has held the asset since 2002.

This is the second transaction GURNERTM and Barana Group have completed together after GURNERTM first partnered with Barana Group in 2018 to develop St Kilda’s former Novotel site into one of Melbourne’s most exclusive and desired addresses, Saint Moritz. The Kent Street transaction by comparison represents a direct acquisition by GURNERTM, which will not be developed in joint venture like Saint Moritz.

&nbsp;

Tim Gurner sees the Barangaroo project an opportunity to bring a Saint Mortiz-level of luxury to Sydney.

“Sydney and this key strategic site in particular is crying out for an ultra-luxury offering like Saint Moritz that transports its owners into a world of luxury and service above anything else in the country, inspired by the best hotels around the world," Gurner said.

“This site is positioned within one of the most expensive and luxurious locations in Australia so we plan to take what we know from Saint Moritz and apply it on a whole new scale, to offer the market something that is completely unique in terms of design, luxury, service and amenity.”

The site has an existing approval in place for two towers, ground-floor retail, restaurants and bars, a health and wellness component, and basement carparking. GURNERTM will now be seeking small amendments to the approval to reduce the number of apartments and increase the amenity provisions, in line with its vision for the site.

Award-winning architect FJC Studio has been appointed as architect, having won a competitive design competition between local and international architects.

The deal was brokered by Justin Brown, Tim Rees and Ben Wicks of CBRE.

Gurner said the team took their time in assessing the project.

“We’re certainly across the challenges the development industry is currently facing in regards to construction and interest rates. We’ve taken a conservative view to pricing and feasibility and feel supremely confident on the fundamentals of this site and its success.

“We have been watching the market very carefully for 18-24 months waiting for the right time to utilise the capital we have at our disposal, waiting for great opportunities knowing we can act quickly for the right sites, with a particular eye on Sydney and Melbourne."

He called Sydney a "very unique market."

“We also know there are different factors at play in Sydney – lack of affordability, scarcity of quality product and depth of the luxury market – that make it far more capable of withstanding the current economic headwinds, so it’s for this reason that we are very confident in the Sydney market and remain bullish on residential property in this blue chip city.

“Across other states it’s the construction and labour costs that are putting pressure on projects, which is why we see Sydney as such a strong opportunity with its higher price-per-square-metre average, motivated buyer pool and sought-after postcodes for offshore and local buyers.

“Sydney is a very unique market with an incredibly low amount of supply and an even smaller opportunity to acquire great sites with harbour views, it is even rarer to be able to transact on a site that also has planning approval ready to go."

GURNER™ to develop luxury Barangaroo apartment towers

103 Prince, the first off the plan development sold in the Central Tablelands city of Orange, has secured development approval from the local council.

The project of two and three-bedroom apartments and a range of townhouses was half sold before it even hit the market late last year.

Local diversified developer Maas Group Properties, who grew from a civil construction and plant hire business in the Central West into trusted&nbsp;developers and home builders, are behind the project.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114129 project_image_fid=214368]

As well as the apartments and townhouses, Maas are developing a public park, providing a green space for residents in close proximity to Orange's city centre.

Located on the west end of the former Orange Base Hospital site, the Prince Street project is just a stone's throw from Orange Train Station and The Orange Central Square Shopping Centre.

Urban Activation's Ben Small, who is selling the apartments, says 103 Prince offers something the city has never had before.

"Even before we launched we'd already had expressions of interest on around half of the residences on offer," Small says.

"Orange locals have never had a multi-level residential project before.

"Previously a downsize would be from farm land or a large home on acreage into a slightly smaller home and land, but ultimately it was still always a house.

"103 Prince St is the first time they can live in a large, brand new apartment, and still be in town."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114129 project_image_fid=214364]

While the project was rare, Small says Urban Activation as a project marketer, who sell off the plan apartments and townhouses up and down the east coast, have received plenty of enquiry from Orange before.

"Often when we're selling in NSW or on the Gold Coast we hear from residents of Orange who are looking to downsize, because previously they've not been able to do it locally. Now they can it's unsurprising of how much of a success 103 Prince Street has been."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114129 project_image_fid=214392]

Downsizers are coming form nearby Dubbo and Bathurst because they too haven't had a downsizing option in their cities before.

The apartments, located on the southern side of the site, . They're expected to be built by 2025, while the townhouses on the northern part of the site will come a year later.

It estimated the townhouses on the northern side of the site would be built by 2024 and the apartments on the southern side by 2025.

Orange's first multi-residential apartment and townhouse project receives green light

MRCB International is set to push forward with its 26 Vista apartment tower in Surfers Paradise, after receiving funding for the $300 million project from&nbsp;Malaysian financial institution MBSB Bank.

MBSB Bank supports numerous local construction projects with a special focus on sustainable mixed-developments. 26 Vista is one of the few international projects that MBSB Bank has provided funding for.

MRCB International CEO Ravi Krishnan is confident that 26 Vista, which features a contemporary design by acclaimed architects DBI, numerous sustainability initiatives and a penthouse that is set to break price records for the suburb, will appeal to buyers, particularly those who may be apprehensive by the economic climate.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=211248]

“The financial security MBSB Bank has provided through financing 26 Vista will allow our purchasers, and potential purchasers, the ability to feel protected from the consequences of the economic landscape surrounding our industry"&nbsp;Krishnan says.

“This is the first project we have undertaken on the Gold Coast, and we are determined to succeed and follow through with our plans to introduce one of the most sophisticated projects ever seen in Surfers Paradise."

MRCB International will be appointing a builder for the project by end 2023, following a thorough procurement process involving select national building companies.

“It is a precarious time for the construction industry and builders are needing to be savvy and highly selective when it comes to tendering for new projects," Krishnan added.

"The financing from MBSB Bank has bolstered our ability to secure a builder with the knowledge that our financial status is secure and we will be able to deliver this project."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=211250]

Named after it's prime location at 26 Vista Street, just one street back from the sought-after Northcliffe Beach, 26 Vista will rise 51 levels and home 280 apartments starting from $600,000. There will also be six three-storey townhouses that front Northcliffe Light Rail Station.

Vista is scheduled for completion in 2026.

MRCB secure funding for 26 Vista, Surfers Paradise apartment development

Mirvac has received planning approval for its $280 million all electric apartment development alongside Princes Hill in Melbourne's Princes Park Precinct in Brunswick.

The project, 699 Park Street, will bring a much needed 166 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, penthouses, and terraces, to the undersupplied Melbourne apartment market.&nbsp;

Mirvac are already preparing to kick off demolition on the 6,500 sqm site which they secured in mid-2021 from JWLand.

Mirvac’s General Manager for Residential Victoria, Elysa Anderson, said Mirvac remains focused on delivering much needed, high quality and well-designed housing options in prime inner-city locations to address the shortage of new homes.

“The fundamentals that drive residential demand remain strong – low unemployment, wages growth, the return of overseas migration and scarcity of quality product – so the timing is right for us to prepare to launch another highly anticipated apartment project," Anderson said.

“The planning approval for this site demonstrates the strength of Mirvac’s brand and ability to deliver in the current market, coupled with prospective purchasers’ ongoing appetite for premium, lifestyle-focused apartments.

“Responding to unmet demand in the owner-occupier apartment market is a significant opportunity for us, particularly with our unique and strong value proposition of an outstanding location coupled with exceptionally designed product– and we are seeing this at our Tullamore and Yarra’s Edge communities, with FORME at Tullamore over 95 per cent sold and only a handful of apartments remaining for sale in Voyager at Yarra’s Edge."

To be notified when appartments in 699 Park Street become available, <a href="/new-apartments/prince-parade-by-mirvac-brunswick-701-park-street-brunswick">enquire here</a>.

Formerly a hotel, the project features around 100 metres of frontage to Princes Park, providing uninterrupted park and city views, and is within walking distance to Melbourne’s inner-north suburbs, as well as the University of Melbourne and Royal Melbourne Hospital precinct.

699 Park Street will mark Mirvac’s third collaboration with design practice, Bates Smart, joining The Melburnian (2011) and The Eastbourne (2019) in the duo’s multi-award-winning developments.

The 699 Park Street announcement follows the recent successful launch of Trielle at Yarra’s Edge, as well as the upcoming launch of 31 Queens Lane overlooking Albert Park, highlighting the Group’s continued confidence in Victoria.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=211502]

“We have $3.7 billion invested in Victoria, across our apartments, masterplanned communities, retail, office and build to rent portfolios in locations around Melbourne," Anderson added.

"The Mirvac difference, underpinned by the quality of our builds, our design excellence and extensive amenity, is increasingly valued by our purchasers in the current climate.

“This is reflected in the strong levels of repeat purchasers at our projects, and is a testament to the recognition of our brand, not to mention a competitive advantage in the current market and our 50 year track record of delivering exceptional living experiences across Australia.”

699 Park Street will join Mirvac’s $6.8 billion Victorian residential development pipeline, which includes future planned apartment projects at 31 Queens Lane in Albert Park, The Fabric at Altona North and Trielle at Yarra’s Edge; following on from the successful completion of iconic apartments at FORME, Folia and Phoenix at Apartments of Tullamore in Doncaster; and The Eastbourne’s luxury residences in East Melbourne.

Golden Four Drive in Bilinga has been in the spotlight since the start of 2023, with a number of apartment developments submitted, approved, and launched in the first half of the year.

The latest application is on Golden Four Drive, but in Tugun rather than Bilinga, as the street stretches some 3.5 kilometres from the north of Tugun to the south of Bilinga.

<img alt="Tugun" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c55003d4-2067-451d-9433-5548f9fcff4e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-17%20at%201.54.39%20pm.png?VersionId=T2W9VNbhNrDvshZJH5qYOfHGlyLklpkv" />

Plans with the Gold Coast City Council are for an 11-level tower, which would seek to tap into the 50 per cent uplift provision&nbsp;contained in the City Plan Strategic Framework. It will be targeting the high-end market, with half-floor apartments offering over 220 sqm of internal living space.

There will be 19 three-bedroom units with multi-purpose room. Each bedroom will offer walk in wardrobes and ensuites, and each kitchen will have a walk in pantry. The kitchen, living and dining area is oriented beachside, where they will be an ocean facing balcony.

There will be a single&nbsp;four-bedroom penthouse, which will share the top level with the communal swimming pool, outdoor barbecue kitchen, and indoor lounge and dining space.

The single ground floor apartment has its own private pool.

<img alt="Tugun" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="86cb4df4-9bbb-4927-965d-9915622645fd" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-17%20at%201.55.42%20pm.png?VersionId=hkQATZIs6phd4aCrVcaP2mj8JrRJ5N1X" />

BDA Architecture has handled the designs of the project, writing in their Design Statement that the project offers the opportunity to design an innovative architectural building within the Tugun Beach precinct.&nbsp;

"The proposed residential building provides a coastal character that looks to create a strong architectural landmark along Golden Four Drive and the beachfront," BDA noted.

"The project offers a high quality coastal design that enhances the streetscape adding to the diverse range of building typologies within the area.&nbsp;

<img alt="Tugun" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9b25acfd-cf35-46e3-abaa-00693caeaaee" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-17%20at%201.55.22%20pm.png?VersionId=EZMDT6RGwIoyiDa4oPkLyMEYvSsFqIb1" />

"The detailing and articulation of the built form demonstrates a positive outcome for the streetscape and Tugun area."

The large 1,232 sqm site at 367 Golden Four Drive is located on the prized beachfront. Currently on the site is a three-storey walk-up block. It's just across the road from a number of parks including Tugun Park, Golden Four Park and Honeymoon Tree Park.&nbsp;

Town planner Zone says the project "offers an excellent design outcome in response to the site context and neighbourhood character."

"[The] proposed development is considered appropriate for the location providing a contemporary and functional design outcome that will complement and enhance the existing, approved and emerging urban forms in the locality, without unduly impacting the amenity currently enjoyed by the surrounding properties," Zone's Town Planning Report read.

"Importantly, the proposed development will provide much needed accommodation in proximity to key infrastructure such as Gold Coast Airport and contribute to the further delivery of infill housing stock within the city."

The development has been submitted by Golden 4 Pty Ltd, an entity linked to Brisbane businessman Stephen Lambourne.

Further down Golden Four Drive toward Bilinga, Brent Thompson's Siera Property Group are preparing a unique project which has development approval for 11 levels. It will comprise 19 three and four-bedroom apartments.

Thompson secured the site late last year, saying that the site’s beachfront location, existing DA approval and advanced construction negotiations added significant value and made it a strategic addition to the group’s growing Gold Coast portfolio.&nbsp;

“The existing development approval is 50 per cent higher than other existing approvals in the area, enabling the penthouses and apartments on the upper levels to access sweeping ocean views, north to the Broadbeach-Surfers Paradise skyline and out to the hinterland mountains,’’ Thompson said.&nbsp;

The next phase of the Collins Wharf project at Melbourne's Docklands has been revealed by ASX-listed developer Lendlease.

They've just submitted plans for a 24-level residential tower with 499 apartments designed by Cox Architecture. It will sit between two sites earmarked for future wharves as part of the expansive Collins Wharf masterplan.

The apartments will cover 23 of the 24 levels, above the ground floor which will have a concierge reception, music room, private dining rooms, a media room, residents' lounge, pet facilities, and an arts and crafts room. There will be extensive work from home amenity, including a business lounge, meeting rooms, and even podcast studios.

More residential amenity will be incorporated across the fourth level, with an array of recreational facilities, including terraces, indoor and outdoor gyms, yoga spaces, a lap pool and pool lounge, sauna, steam room, a treatment room and changing rooms. The level will also feature five studio and five two-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

The majority of the levels will have 24 apartments, a combination of studios and one and two-bedroom units. The 22nd floor&nbsp;will comprise seven two-bedroom apartments, two one-bedroom apartments, and one three-bedroom apartment.

There will be just two three-bedroom apartments on the 23rd floor, as well as&nbsp;dining rooms, a terrace and a residents' lounge.

Lendlease's huge $1.5 billion Collins Wharf masterplan encompasses five towers in total and spans a vast 6.5-hectare site.

While No.1 Collins Wharf commenced construction in 2017, Collins Wharf 2 and 3, designed by Warren and Mahoney Architects, are currently in the planning process. These designs are awaiting approval, with minor changes such as amended plans to ceiling heights being considered.

Upon completion, the entire Collins Wharf project will boast a total of 1,500 apartments in the Victoria Harbour area of Docklands, with the project under the supervision of Development Victoria, which has overseen all developments in Docklands since the mid-1990s.

The project has an estimated end value of $6.7 billion by 2030.

Lendlease reveal plans for next stage of Collins Wharf development

Plans have been filed for a twin tower project in Brisbane's south side suburb of Stones Corner.

Peter Gartshore from the family-ran Idec Group are behind the plans on the 3,846 sqm site at 73-85 Cleveland Street, which will feature a striking skybridge connecting the two recreational rooftops designed by NMDS Architecture.

&nbsp;

The submitted town planning report highlights the strategic importance of the proposed site in Stones Corner, stating that it falls within a growth node on a selected transport corridor identified under the City Plan. It emphasises that areas within these nodes offer opportunities for more intense urban forms that cater to the needs of the local community.

Despite exceeding the prescribed eight-storey height limit, the report argues that the proposed development is appropriate for the site and aligns with the desired outcomes of the high-density residential zone.

<img alt="Render of the proposed twin tower Stones Corner development" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ad02c016-d0b0-4a00-8987-94391df7526c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-16%20at%2010.57.15%20am_0.png?VersionId=HA9ugUKWWoVT.sMLNezZta6A1OGOH1dn" />Render of the proposed twin tower Stones Corner development.

The report also emphasises the housing crisis in the southeast Queensland region, with low rental and housing stock levels, and states that the project will provide 226 additional housing opportunities in close proximity to centres, community services, and transport options.

Stones Corner, located just over two kilometres from Woollongabba, the home of the 2032 Olympic Games, is undergoing significant urban transformation with the aim of residential and mixed-use densification.

&nbsp;

The towers will boast a design incorporating extensive use of planter boxes adorned with climbing and cascading plants.&nbsp;&nbsp;NMDS Architecture have designed the project.

The skybridge, spanning the gap between the north and south towers, will link a spacious 1273 sqm of communal rooftop recreation space. The recreational area will include amenities such as a pool, spa, terrace area, gymnasium, sauna, showers, change rooms, alfresco and indoor dining areas, a theatre, community garden, and a dedicated dog walking area.

The proposed development will prioritise green spaces and landscaping. The landscaping design by Wild Studio includes vertical green walls extending the full height of the building, feature trees at the main entrance on Cleveland Street, raised garden beds, and planter boxes with climbing and cascading plants.

The integration of greenery aims to create a vertical, subtropical micro-climate that enhances the building's appearance, provides cooling to residents, and contributes to the overall streetscape.

The development will include three basement levels with space for 330 cars. While the area is well-serviced by public transport, alternative transportation options will also be provided to residents. A car share system will enable those without vehicles to access ten electric vehicles, and there will be ample bicycle parking spaces, 283 in total, supported by an on-site bicycle workshop.

Veteran developer&nbsp;Morris Property Group has been given the nod by the Gold Coast City Council for its latest project, Bondi Burleigh.

It took about 12 months for Morris, who have developed across Canberra and the Gold Coast for a number of decades, to secure approval for the 25-level project at 1873-1875 Gold Coast Highway, having submitted plans for the striking tower which will home 174 apartments in April 2022.

Canberra-based architecture firm Guida Mosely Brown worked in collaboration with locals Plus Architecture on the designs, which Morris says "blends art, aesthetics, and functionality to create an exceptional structure that enhances the Burleigh skyline with its distinct and innovative character."

The two and three-bedroom apartments will be launched to the market next month. Residents will have access to an entire level of amenities on level two, including a north-facing swimming pool and a&nbsp;state of the art wellness spaces created by Wellness Solutions.

The project's name, Bondi Burleigh, is a nod to the growth and prominence that the Burleigh area has achieved as evolving into one of Australia's leading areas for investment and living.

Morris know the area well and what the market demands. Bondi Burleigh be their fifth project in Burleigh Heads. It also sits right next to another of Morris Property Group’s successful Burleigh projects, Boardwalk Burleigh.

"Our team is thrilled to introduce this project to the Burleigh Heads property market, and we're confident that it will exceed the expectations of our discerning consumers," Morris Property Group Director Barry Morris says.

"At the heart of every project we undertake, is a deep understanding of what our buyers want, and we make sure to prioritise their needs in every aspect of our design. As passionate members of the Gold Coast community, we are excited to bring this unique project to life, and contribute to the vibrant and dynamic property market in this beloved area."

Morris is able to push on despite the construction woes that are plaguing the development space in South East Queensland, given they also build their projects. Nearby their Sandbar Burleigh project, which is almost sold out, has recently topped out.

"Our 'promise to build' approach is the cornerstone of our success as a company," MPG Director James Morris says.

"While the construction industry is currently facing unprecedented challenges, including soaring prices and market instability, we are committed to working through any challenge and delivering on our promises to our buyers and the wider community. As responsible builders, we understand our obligation to ensure that our buildings are completed to the highest standards, no matter the market conditions."

Bondi Burleigh marks Morris' 20th project on the Gold Coast. Late last month they also got sign off for their two-tower development at 9-15 Armrick Avenue, which will bring a further, much needed, 339 apartments to the hot Broadbeach market.

Currently they're selling Essentia in Surfers Paradise, which is expected to be completed by June.
