Melbourne-based developer DM Property has strategically entered the Geelong market with its debut project on the Bellarine Peninsula, Motif, following the success of their Sandringham townhouse project, Early 3191.

Motif represents Geelong's first apartment launch in several years and has already achieved 35 per cent in sales this month.

DM Property Director Brendan Mullen says he couldn't quite believe the York Street site hadn't been a target for developers previously.

"It's a great site. We're near The Esplanade, we're near the hospitality precinct, Deakin University is down the road, and most importantly the Geelong Convention Centre is just coming up. That will start getting built in the next 12-18 months, and that will be neck and neck with the Melbourne Convention Centre," Mullan said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136615 project_image_fid=222935]

Mullan says people are now wanting to stay in Geelong.&nbsp;

"We're finding people want to stay in Geelong CBD because of good education, a good food and beverage precinct now, employment down here is second to none. A lot of white collar and young professional buyers are getitng into the market."

Motif comprises 129 one and two-bedroom apartments within a five-level building designed by renowned architecture firm Rothelowman.

“The site for Motif has the advantage of not just being on the edge of the city but also the edge of the bay," Rothelowman Principal Stuart Marsland says.

"Our vision was to provide high-quality spaces for living and working that take advantage of views in all directions."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136615 project_image_fid=222939]

Motif is ideally located at 1 York Street, one street from Western Beach and a 15-minute walk from Pakington Street, where residents can find Woolworths and many local cafes, restaurants, and bars along its length.

Residents can start their mornings with a hike or a run along Bob McGovan Path with views and breeze from the Western Beach.&nbsp;

A coffee stop at Box Office Café is in order, while a delicious brunch is available at Geelong West Social Club, Queen of the West, and King of the Castle Café.

On weekend afternoons, residents can start with a dirty martini at Arborist, followed by the chef’s menu at Felix or Osteria Fiorenza for those who prefer the classics.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136615 project_image_fid=222937]

Residents can round out their night with a six-minute drive to the Geelong Arts Centre at the Little Malop Street precinct and a nightcap poured by Meet Me at Mary’s before returning home.

Westfield, Market Square Shopping Centre and more local and international cuisine restaurants are also located in the Little Malop Street precinct.

Ashby Primary School, The Geelong College and Deakin University are less than two kilometres from Motif.

Motif is fossil fuel-free, and its electricity consumption is offset by significant solar panelling, making it a 7-star NAThers-rated building.

Construction of Motif kicked off at the start of 2024. Completion is slated for late 2025.

Melbourne's established suburb Camberwell offers perfect city-fringe living, with the CBD easily accessible through a number of transport mediums, while also offering a quiet place to live.

Apartment developer Beulah honed in on Camberwell's Toorak Road, a strip which runs all the way from the most easterly point of the suburb to the west.

Beulah opted to be as close to the action as possible, grabbing a site at 890 Toorak Road, near the intersection of Toorak Road and Burke Road, the equally amenity-rich street which runs up to Camberwell Station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9099 project_image_fid=217660]

On the site they had Elenberg Fraser design an owner-occupier, downsizer focused building with just 12 house-sized residences. The three-level building Provenance Camberwell, was completed in mid-2022.

Only two three-bedroom apartments remain in the ready to move in building, a ground floor apartment with 177 sqm of living space and a private courtyard, and a 244 sqm penthouse with additional terraces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9099 project_image_fid=217667]

Residents of Provenance literally step out onto Toorak Road and they're met with convenience, whether it's public transport into the city or retail and dining options.

Camberwell's thriving retail precinct, one of Melbourne's oldest shopping strips, is home to several antique, fashion, and homeware boutiques, including well-known establishments like The Well and George's.

Toorak Road is lined with various cuisine restaurants, bakeries, cafes and bars. Some of the closest options from the property are The Pizza Co, Rama Thai, The Bakers Wife, and Squires Loft Camberwell.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9099 project_image_fid=217669]

Residents are also just 10 minutes away from the bustling Burke Road and the Tooronga Village Shopping Centre.

The iconic eight-screen multiplex Rivoli Cinemas, a five-minute drive from the heart of Camberwell, offers a premium location for a night out at the movies.

Camberwell is also home to many lush parks, reserves and playgrounds, such as Anderson Park, Gardiners Creek Trail, Lewin Reserve and Burke Road South Reserve Playground—all within two kilometres from north and south of Provenance.

Provenance Camberwell is among the neighbourhood’s best schools, including Camberwell Grammar School and Camberwell Girls Grammar School.

Ever since the new Maroochydore CBD was gazetted back in 2015, locals and interstate investors have had their eyes on what is fast becoming the focal point of the Sunshine Coast.

The most prominent developer in the Maroochydore region for the last two decades has been <a href="/developers/habitat-development-group">Habitat Development Group</a>, who have been developing and building apartments in the area since 2005.

They're currently building <a href="/buildings/the-corso-maroochydore-20-south-sea-islander-way-maroochydore">The Corso</a>, only the second tower in the&nbsp;evolving <a href="/developments/maroochydore-qld-4558">Maroochdyore</a> CBD, which is one of just a handful of greenfield CBD's in the world. The Sunshine Coast&nbsp;Council are building the CBD from scratch, and therefore are able to effectively create a city built with more modern technology than other cities across the world. They secured the former Horton Park Golf Course eight years ago and went about creating a new city.

In partnership with SunCentral&nbsp;<a href="/developments/maroochydore-qld-4558">Maroochydore</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="/developers/walker-corporation" target="">Walker Corporation</a>, the new CBD, to be known as The Bright City, will home 160,000 sqm of commercial and retail space and 4,000 residential apartments when completed in the next 15 to 20 years.

It's drawn owner-occupiers, be it purchasers or renters, to the area, as well as interstate investors. Savvy Sydney investors have identified Maroochydore as an opportunity. They've made up around 50 per cent of the purchases in The Corso, which has 158 apartments across two towers on South Sea Islander Way.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100708 project_image_fid=197260]

The project, with 715 sqm of retail space on the ground floor, a 600 sqm communal terrace connecting the two towers and a resort-style swimming pool, is around 65 per cent sold.

<a href="/buildings/the-corso-maroochydore-20-south-sea-islander-way-maroochydore">The Corso</a> comes after Habitat's Market Lane Residences, at the entrance to the new CBD on Mundoo Boulevard, which was completed early last year.

<a href="/buildings/the-corso-maroochydore-20-south-sea-islander-way-maroochydore">The Corso</a> will bring much&nbsp;needed housing supply to the area. Maroochydore has been steadily gaining popularity over recent years, evident in census data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. In 2016, 16,800 people called Maroochydore home, a number that has swelled to 20,629 in 2021.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100708 project_image_fid=194875]

<a href="/developers/habitat-development-group">Habitat</a> made sure they contributed to driving the Sunshine Coast economy with <a href="/buildings/the-corso-maroochydore-20-south-sea-islander-way-maroochydore">The Corso</a>. Around 380 people have been employed to help deliver the project.

“We have a commitment to supporting local trades in all our projects as much as we can," Habitat Managing Director Cleighton Clarke says.

"We were concerned the labour shortages might affect this project given its size. But despite the labour shortages in the construction sector, it’s been really exciting to see how many local trades are interested in being involved in this new CBD project.&nbsp; That means we’ll be able to resource the project without having to go outside the Sunshine Coast which is great news for the local economy."&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Corso is slated for completion in mid-2024.

Eden Garden Residences, the newest off the plan apartment opportunity to become available in <a href="/new-apartments/southport-qld-4215">Southport</a>, sits in a prime pocket where future residents will be able to walk to everything.

The <a href="/new-apartments/eden-garden-residences-20-bauer-street-southport">boutique 54-apartment development</a> by BDA Architecture is located at <a href="/new-apartments/eden-garden-residences-20-bauer-street-southport">20 Bauer Street</a>, on the corner of Chester Terrace which runs down to the James Overell Park and the Nerang River, just a 240 metre walk.

James Overell Park has significant greenery, numerous fitness stations, a fully fenced playground and an offleash dog area. A concrete path loops around the whole park, running along the river.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136286 project_image_fid=228943]

Only 700 metres for a change of scenery is a a trio of parks; Queens Park, Matron &amp; Sister Higman Park, and Carey Park. The three parks meet the start of the Broadwater Parklands, one of the most popular parks across the whole of the Gold Coast which has recently had a $42 million upgrade.

Still flanking the water, the long stretch of parklands includes the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre, Cafe Catalina and Fish Shak, Rockpools (a free water play area) and a swimming lagoon. There's numerous barbecue and picnic areas, playgrounds and lookouts, as well as the Southport Pier.

Parks are well and truly covered with the above, but <a href="/new-apartments/eden-garden-residences-20-bauer-street-southport">Eden Garden Residences</a> won't only be ideally located for those who want to take in leisure through nature, but also through shopping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136286 project_image_fid=228937]

While both the parklands and proximity to shopping centres will attract a wide range of buyers to <a href="/new-apartments/eden-garden-residences-20-bauer-street-southport">Eden Garden Residences</a>, the 20-minute walk to The <a href="/new-apartments/southport-qld-4215">Southport</a> School, or the 15-minute drive to Griffith University, will draw the family buyer. There are four primary schools within one kilometre of the project, and five secondary schools.

Residents will of course only be a stone's throw from <a href="/new-apartments/main-beach-qld-4217">Main Beach</a> on the other side of the Nerang. That's accessible from the Sundale Bridge, less than a kilometre away. Once across the bridge, you're taking in everywhere from Surfers to <a href="/new-apartments/southport-qld-4215">Southport</a> Spit, as well as Chevron Island's booming Home of The Arts precinct.

<a href="/new-apartments/eden-garden-residences-20-bauer-street-southport">Eden Garden Residences</a> start from $760,000. The project is estimated to be completed in late 2025.

Currently under construction, <a href="/buildings/ada-toorak-1093-1099-malvern-road-toorak">ADA Toorak</a> is expected to complete in mid-2024. Each apartment features&nbsp;grand living areas with vast floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors that frame the Jack Merlo landscaping.

Buxton Projects Director Josh Buxton says <a href="/buildings/ada-toorak-1093-1099-malvern-road-toorak">ADA</a> brings something different to <a href="/new-apartments/toorak-vic-3142">Toorak</a>, offering a more affordable solution to the bluechip suburb without compromising on quality.

"We wanted to provide the quality Toorak locals have come to expect from high-end homes but in an apartment. We really pushed on the landscaping too so downsizers are still surrounded in greenery without the maintenance of a large yard."
