When the opportunity to grab a prime development site in Hurstville on the corner of Forest and Hill Roads, veteran Sydney developer TQM snatched at it.

The site, where TQM are developing their 127-apartment tower Lotus Residences, is in one of the most well connected spots in the south Sydney suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13538 project_image_fid=204685]

The $120 million, two-building development which offers scenic views of the surrounding neighbourhoods and Sydney's skyline, is just seven minutes from Hurstville Station and five minutes from Westfield Hurstville, putting future residents within touching distance of both convenience and connectivity.

As a primary station on Sydney's T4 rail network, trains to Sydney's CBD run every two to five minutes during peak hours. The nearby M4 motorway, King Georges Road, and the Princes Highway ensure quick and convenient access to all parts of Sydney, whether by bus (via Hurstville bus interchange) or car.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13538 project_image_fid=204691]

Hurstville is a vibrant melting pot of cultures, offering many dining options, from traditional Cantonese yum cha to authentic regional Chinese cuisine.&nbsp;

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=228946]

<a href="/new-apartments/southport-qld-4215">Southport</a> Park Shopping Centre is just 1.9 kilometres metres away from the Bauer Street project. That has around 50 stores as well as a cinema and restaurants.

Within a two kilometre radius there's also the two-level Australia Fair Shopping Centre, Southport Central, and the Meriton Retail Precinct.&nbsp;

The closest shopping destination to <a href="/new-apartments/eden-garden-residences-20-bauer-street-southport">Eden Garden Residences</a> is Brickworks Ferry Road which houses a variety of retailers offering fresh produce, gourmet foods, fashion, and homewares.

[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.

&nbsp;

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."

When connectivity is key: What's around Ventura Arncliffe apartments

Footscray's historic Kinnear's Ropeworks is in the midst of undergoing a major transformation as R&amp;F Property Australia redevelops the heritage site into a visionary masterplan development.

With a commitment to preserving the site's rich history while fostering a vibrant and sustainable community, the project promises to breathe new life into the heart of the Footscray area.

Nestled on a sprawling 3.3-hectare canvas, the Kinnear's precinct masterplan seamlessly blends history with modernity. The ambitious endeavour encompasses the development of 1,400 apartments within a diverse mix of facilities spanning a massive 185,000 sqm of mixed-use gross floor area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113175 project_image_fid=218901]

The masterplan pays respect to the site's unique historical fabric. The Kinnear's Ropeworks, with its industrial heritage, has been a vital part of Footscray's history, with the iconic Kinnear's ropeworks heritage buildings set to undergo conservation and adaptive re-use, ensuring that the history of the site remains intact for generations to come.

The design of the precinct reflects a commitment to creating a socially and economically sustainable community. The existing road network will be extended through the site, promoting connectivity, while partially underground parking facilities will cater to visitors. A boulevard will be created at the heart of the site, establishing a pedestrianised epicentre around a civic island.&nbsp;

As the precinct continues to expand, it will evolve into a self-sustaining neighbourhood, offering a diverse mix of amenities. Shops, cafes, and a range of services will be introduced to meet the needs of the growing community. The development envisions medium-density residential and mixed-use buildings of varying heights, integrated with the interfaces of Kinnear Street and Farnsworth Avenue. Along Ballarat Road, higher-density buildings ranging from five to 18 storeys will take shape.

The masterplan doesn't just stop at providing shelter; it strives to create a destination in its own right. Lined with retail spaces, eateries, and garden nooks, Kinnear's Ropeworks will become a bustling hub where residents and visitors can explore a tapestry of experiences in a carefully designed urban environment.

Construction of Stage 1 commenced in December 2017, with R&amp;F Property Australia successfully completing the first heritage restoration project at Live City. The development will be developed across a multi-stage project, set to unfold over the next six to eight years, encompassing six precincts with an estimated total end value of $750 million.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113175 project_image_fid=218902]

The first stage, Live City, features 208 residential apartments across three buildings, setting the tone for what's to come.

Following the completion of Live City, Millhouse Residences will take centre stage in the masterplan. From integrated townhomes to sky terraces, each Millhouse residence is designed with individuality in mind.

The boutique building, nestled within the Ropeworks Precinct, offers a private oasis within Footscray's vibrant suburb. With features like a rooftop garden and co-working spaces, Millhouse promises an array of shared spaces suitable for solitude, socializing, or celebrating special moments.

Reviving history: Inside the transformation of Footscray's Kinnear's Ropeworks masterplan

Mentone, the small coastal suburb south east of Melbourne, was first known by European settlers as Dover Slopes.

It was&nbsp;was a swampy coastal district south of Cheltenham when pastoralist Alexander Balcombe leased land as a resting place for his cattle en route to Melbourne markets from his property near Mount Martha.

The suburb's name is believed to have been derived from the Italian town of Menton, although some sources suggest it may have been named after a local property owner's daughter.

By the late 19th century, <a href="/new-townhouses/mentone-vic-3194">Mentone</a> had gained a reputation as a popular beachside resort destination. Its sandy shores, framed by striking red cliffs, attracted Melburnians seeking seaside relaxation. Several grand hotels and guesthouses were constructed during this era to accommodate the growing number of visitors.

Boutique property developer <a href="/developers/sloane-property">Sloane</a>, well-known for creating architecturally-striking townhouses in Melbourne's Bayside, set its sights on the small suburb for their next townhouse development, <a href="/new-apartments/kindred-mentone-25-brindisi-street-mentone">Kindred Mentone</a>.
