Award-winning developer and builder <a href="/developers/holm-developments">Holm Developments</a> is bringing a small-scale luxury townhouse development in Ascot, considered by many as one of Brisbane's most premier suburbs on the river.

<a href="/developments/ascot-qld-4007">Ascot</a> is distinguished by its collection of heritage-listed sites, characterised by the grandeur of large Queenslander homes that dot the landscape.

Holm's townhouse development,&nbsp;<a href="/buildings/ascot-row-89-95-stevenson-street-ascot">Ascot Row</a>, stands out in a suburb where townhouses account for only nine per cent of dwellings.

Aside from the scarcity of brand new property, Ascot Row has been designed so it still caters to the demographic who wants to live in a house, but offers a&nbsp;price point significantly lower than the median price of houses in the affluent area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114093 project_image_fid=236402]

Within walking distance from Ascot Row is the vibrant Racecourse Road Village and the popular Portside Wharf shopping mall, creating a lively and convenient neighbourhood for residents.&nbsp;

The Racecourse Road Village is just a ten-minute walk west of Ascot Row, where residents can find a variety of cafes and restaurants, such as highly-rated dining options such as Le Bon Choix cafe, Cafe 63, American restaurant 5 Boroughs, and hamburger restaurant Grill'd, and shops and essential services, like Coles supermarket and Ascot Medical Centre.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114093 project_image_fid=236404]

Towards the south, the upscale residential and retail precinct Portside Wharf is reachable within a nine-minute stroll across Kingsford Smith Dr, boasting a range of dining options, shops, a large fish shop, a supermarket, and a Dendy cinema complex.

Adjacent to Portside Wharf is Hercules Street Park, providing residents with recreational opportunities such as state-of-the-art playgrounds, aquativity areas, multi-court play areas, open green spaces, BBQ facilities, and an off-leash dog park.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114093 project_image_fid=236411]

Adding to Ascot Row's appeal as a family-friendly address are the several schools nearby, including Hamilton State School less than 400 metres away, Ascot State School, St Rita's College in <a href="/new-townhouses/clayfield-qld-4011">Clayfield</a> and St Margaret's Anglican Girls School in Ascot within a five-minute drive.

The <a href="/architects/plus-architecture">Plus Architecture</a>-designed Ascot Row comprises 14 three-bedroom townhomes designed as a modern architectural interpretation of the iconic Queenslander style.&nbsp;

Ascot Row is well under construction and is slated for completion soon under Holm's construction arm,&nbsp;<a href="/builders/holm-built">Holm Built</a>.

How Ascot Row fits into the affluent Brisbane riverside suburb

Nestled on the border of the blue-chip suburbs <a href="/new-townhouses/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a> and <a href="/developments/taringa-qld-4068">Taringa</a>, Oakman Residences presents an alternative to owning traditional homes in a suburb dominated by single dwellings but without compromising on space or comfort, rather with perks of various amenities and a strategic location.

This <a href="/developers/feltham-property-group">Feltham</a>-developed project boasts spacious residences that front onto parks with resort-style landscaping and a curated selection of amenities—all immersed in Taringa’s greenery and tapestry.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112924 project_image_fid=204776]

<a href="/new-townhouses/oakman-residences-27-union-street-taringa">Oakman Residences</a> is conveniently located within walking distance of cafes, restaurants, public transport options, the Brisbane River, parks, and multiple schools.

The Union Street development is adjacent to Oakman Park and Miskin Street Park, which include an Australian rules football field, play equipment, and biking paths—a big value for young families seeking a family-friendly address as their future home.&nbsp;

Furthermore, on the east side of Oakman Park lies Brisbane Boys College, one of the city's prestigious schools, while just an eight-minute walk away towards the west is the Queensland Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Technology.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112924 project_image_fid=204785]

Transportation options are plentiful, with several bus stops lining Moggill Rd and Taringa Station just 850 metres from Oakman Residences.&nbsp;

Taringa Station is surrounded by cafes and fast food restaurants like Amaretto Cafe Restaurant Bar, Indian Mehfil, Little Rice Bowl Restaurants, and Domino's, along with a small shopping centre, Taringa Professional Centre, located adjacent to the station.

Additionally, Oakman Residences is only a quick ride to key precincts in nearby suburbs, such as Toowong Village and The Wesley Hospital to the northeast, as well as <a href="/new-townhouses/indooroopilly-qld-4068">Indooroopilly</a> Central and Indooroopilly Shopping Centre to the southwest, making it a well-connected location for residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112924 project_image_fid=204775]

“Designed around the community, Oakman Residences has been crafted to create a sense of privacy and seclusion to each of the dwellings, while feeling protected and nestled within a community,” says Elizabeth Anderson of <a href="/architects/hal-architects">Hayes Anderson Lynch</a>.

Through retaining 90 per cent of the mature natives onsite, Oakman Residences connects and immerses itself with the heritage streetscape and the neighbouring parklands, delivering a boutique collection of just 24 homes.&nbsp;

Oakman Residences comprises 17 luxury, low-maintenance park-fronting three-bedroom townhomes, along with six full-floor three-bedroom sky homes, afforded with their lift access.&nbsp;

The development is nearing completion, with construction expected to finish in the middle of this year.

Oakman Residences: Taringa's absolute parkside new apartments

The availability of apartments, in quiet pockets in Bayside, is dwindling.

Despite Hampton East's population rising above 5,000 from the 2016 census to the most recently collected census in 2021, the percentage share of apartments declined.

Apartments accounted for over 22 per cent of dwellings in the <a href="/new-apartments/hampton-east-vic-3188">small 1.4-kilometre squared suburb</a> in 2016. That number has dropped to just over 20 per cent, with the data suggesting just nine extra apartments added over five years.

The lack of apartment supply, especially ones located on a quiet street, makes <a href="/new-apartments/casa-tranquila-hampton-east-15-19-king-street-hampton-east">Casa Tranquila</a>, a rare find.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113441 project_image_fid=208735]

The project is ideally located to take advantage of local amenities. With its postcode being 3188, the same as Hampton, Casa Tranquila sits on a quiet, leafy corner, but close to a retail precinct and just 300 metres to the closest train station.

"It's a hidden gem in Bayside," Chad Arbid says.

"Hampton East is an affordable Bayside suburb known for parks, the beach, the best schools, shopping strips – like Hampton St, Bay St and Church St, restaurants and cafes, gyms, golf courses and medical centres - all within easy reach. It’s no wonder that the Channel 9 TV show The Block 2023 chose Charming Street - just around the corner from Casa Tranquila - and sold all five houses with record prices."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113441 project_image_fid=256593]

With this strategic location on King Street, conveniently but quietly set a street back from the South Road thoroughfare, comes a vibrant selection of local retail outlets, cafes, restaurants, and bars, including station-side establishments like Wilbury &amp; Sons, Uncles, Comma Food &amp; Wine, TOAST IT!, 4 Seasons Laksa, and Everwell Medical Centre.

The location of Casa Tranquila also places it within reach of Victoria's premier golf clubs, such as Kingston Heath, Brighton and Royal Melbourne Golf Clubs, all a short drive away.

Nature enthusiasts can explore the nearby green spaces, with Dendy Park and Brighton Beach offering idyllic settings for outdoor activities and relaxation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113441 project_image_fid=256602]

Families considering Casa Tranquila will also find themselves in proximity to esteemed educational institutions in Melbourne. Hampton Primary School, St Agnes' School, St Paul's School, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College, St Leonards and Haileybury are all within a convenient short drive from the development.

Designed by Chandler Architecture, Casa Tranquila comprises one, two, and three-bedroom residences. The massive onsite display suite presents a clear indication of the high-end fittings and fixtures that Chandler Architecture envisioned.

Every apartment at Casa Tranquila comes with a car park and storage cage, the three bedroom residences come with two car spaces. Casa Tranquila also offers a shared car parking facility, enabling residents to conveniently access on-site rental car services for various durations, from short hourly rentals to full-day usage.&nbsp;

The development has low body corporate fees with no car-stackers and welcomes residents into a resort-style lobby, evoking a sense of tranquillity and sophistication. Featuring concierge services, and amenities such as a cocktail resident’s lounge with fireplace and bar and a covered BBQ area with a central garden,&nbsp;

Casa Tranquila is selling fast with 60% of sales achieved so far. Construction is commencing soon with expected completion to be in the first quarter of 2026.&nbsp;

Local developer ITUM has chosen a leafy quiet street as a strategic location for their aptly named Carnegie apartment development, Mimosa Row, an address in between convenience and quiet.

The positioning of Mimosa Row,&nbsp;on Mimosa Road, ensures residents are just a stone's throw away from Carnegie's Koornang Road dining precinct, known for its wide range of shops, multicultural restaurants, cafes, and bars.

Among these, Spilt Milk, Shyun, a Japanese restaurant known for its fresh seafood and seasonal ingredients, the nearby Shyun Ramen Bar, and Left Field stand out as some of the local favourites.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139888 project_image_fid=212587]

<a href="/new-apartments/mimosa-row-carnegie-100-104-mimosa-road-carnegie">Mimosa Row</a>, just&nbsp;40-apartments in a low-rise series of buildings, is also conveniently located just over 10 kilometres from <a href="/new-apartments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a>'s CBD, just under three kilometres from Chadstone Shopping Centre, and a host of local amenities including parks, health clubs, and educational institutions.&nbsp;

The <a href="/developments/carnegie-vic-3163">Carnegie</a> train station is 600 metres away, located near Carnegie Central, a mixed-used shopping mall featuring grocery stores, medical and health services, cafes, takeaways, and restaurants.

Residents are also only a five-minute drive to Caulfield Racecourse Reserve, home to a lake, picnic areas, grandstand, and horse training tracks. The venue is open every day apart from race days and major events.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139888 project_image_fid=212597]

Education options are also abundant in the vicinity of Mimosa Row, with Carnegie Primary School a short eight-minute walk away, alongside St Anthony's School, Glen Eira College, and Monash University, all within a radius of 850 metres.

<a href="/developers/itum">ITUM</a> appointed <a href="/builders/platinum-construction-0">Platinum Construction</a> as the builder of the <a href="/architects/bg-architecture">BG Architecture</a>-designed Mimosa Row. It is expected to complete in late 2025.

Indooroopilly in Brisbane's south-west has a little bit of everything.

A riverside suburb, Indooroopilly has the largest shopping centre in Brisbane's western suburbs, it's home to a number of parks including Witton Barracks Park, and its proximity to the Brisbane River makes for a nature-fuelled lifestyle with all the conveniences of living near the city.

The area is well known for excellent schools, which has often drawn families to the suburb.

Indooroopilly's top three new developments selling in 2024

There's very little in the way of comparison when looking at Miami in Florida and Miami on the Gold Coast.

As a matter of fact, they're polar opposites.

Miami in Florida has the third highest city skyline in the US, after New York and Chicago, while its Gold Coast namesake is at completely the other end of the spectrum. It flies under the radar in the grand scheme of the Gold Coast, and that's just how locals like it.

Miami is the only beachside Gold Coast suburb with a strict three-level height limit on buildings, which essentially&nbsp;puts a cap on density and how much new development can occur.

When there's a cap on supply, there's always long-term price growth, something which is not lost on property investors.

What the two do have in common however is their ability to draw both locals and visitors through culture, convenience, and climate.

It was the combination of liveability and the opportunity to develop in a tightly held location that drew&nbsp;prolific townhome developer Highlife Homes to Miami, sandwiched between the more well-known suburbs of Mermaid Beach and Burleigh Heads, two suburbs where the number of apartments has skyrocketed in the last 15 years.

<a href="/developers/highlife-homes">Highlife Homes</a> secured a site on Hythe Street, 160 metres from Miami Beach, the beachside cafe&nbsp;Piccolo's Espresso Café, and the&nbsp;Miami Surf Club.

The location, and the laid-back Gold Coast lifestyle that has been preserved in Miami compared to some of its now built-up neighbours, has been a major factor for purchasers of Highlife's four villa development, <a href="/buildings/harmoni-on-hythe">Harmoni on Hythe</a>.

Only one townhouse remains in Harmoni on Hythe, which recently welcomed its new residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140364 project_image_fid=218339]

The remaining townhouse has four bedrooms, however, it's been cleverly designed so the top level bedroom could be used as a mulit-purpose space or a second living room, given it opens onto the outdoor roof terrace which features a full barbecue kitchen and views over the beach.

All up the townhouses have 245 sqm of living space including balconies, with a further 60 sqm of terraces and courtyards. Each courtyard has its own shower, an added feature designed for residents to wash off the sand, rinse the surfboard, or clean the dog.

Highlife, always one step ahead, future-proofed the townhouses for those looking long term, installing an internal private lift in each home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140364 project_image_fid=214022]

Residents at Harmoni are ideally located to take in the very best of what Miami has to offer.

Dotted with open green spaces, Harmoni benefits from being just a five-minute walk from beachside parks such as Don MacSween Park and Ed Hardy Park.

Harmoni is also strategically positioned close to both the Burleigh Golf Course and Pizzey Park, with the multipurpose facility offering rugby, tennis, swimming, netball, gymnastics, and even an athletics track. There's also a skate park and a dog exercise facility.

Miami Aquatic Centre, featuring two heated Olympic 50-metre pools, an indoor training pool, and a children's play area, is just five minutes away, as is Miami Tennis Club, which has ten synthetic grass courts, two air-conditioned clubhouses, and a pro shop.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140364 project_image_fid=214025]

Residents of Harmoni on Hythe are also well-connected to the broader Gold Coast area. The nearest bus stop is only a two-minute walk away, while the future light rail will further benefit residents.

The Gold Coast Highway is also home to several dining and retail options. ALDI is just 650 metres away south of the property, while in the other direction, there's the Miami Fish Market, four minutes away.

The Esplanade is also within walking distance, with highly rated dining establishments like Miami Tavern and North Burleigh Surf Life Saving Club.

Miami Marketta, just one kilometre from Harmoni, brings the suburb to life at night every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. The indoor and outdoor night market features a diverse selection of street food, cocktails, and craft beer, all accompanied by the backdrop of live music.

The sole remaining villa at Harmoni on Hythe is one of just five four bedroom-plus homes for sale on the eastern side of the Gold Coast Highway near the beach.

Miami Gold Coast: The unassuming beachfront enclave offering the epitome of Gold Coast living

As Sydney's urban sprawl continues, development has been buoyant in St Leonards, the next business district following the train line from Sydney and through North Sydney.

It's an incredibly well well-connected area, with the North Sydney just a 20-minute commute and Wynyard 25-minutes on the train.

There are two distinct areas, <a href="/developments/st-leonards-nsw-2065">St Leonards</a> North and St Leonards South. St Leonards North is more popular for first home buyers and investors in higher-density buildings with extensive facilities, while St Leonards South is more geared toward low-rise, parkfront buildings that are favoured by the owner-occupier due to a higher price point and larger apartments.

We've had a look at the best off the plan apartment developments currently on the market in St Leonards.

<h2>Projects: The Newlands</h2>

<h2>Location: 21-41 Canberra Avenue, St Leonards NSW 2065</h2>

<h2>Developer: Top Spring Australia</h2>

<a href="/developers/top-spring-australia">Top Spring Australia</a>'s $500 million residential community, <a href="/new-apartments/the-newlands-st-leonards-21-41-canberra-avenue-st-leonards">The Newlands</a>, received the first development approval in Lane Cove's rezoned St Leonards South Precinct. Designed by <a href="/architects/bates-smart">Bates Smart</a> and landscaped by <a href="/landscape-architect/arcadia-landscape-architecture">Arcadia Landscape Architecture</a>, The development emphasises a pedestrian-oriented precinct with a focus on the natural landscape of Newlands Park.

The project consists of five buildings, ranging from eight to 12 levels. The first released building, Verdant, offers 99 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, with amenities including garden terraces, communal lawns, and a pedestrian link to Newlands Park.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24509 project_image_fid=257585]

The high demand, with the strongest enquiry coming from professionals seeking an inner-city, tree-change lifestyle, has fast-tracked the formal launch of the next collection, Glade, a boutique nine-level building of one, two and three-bedroom apartments alongside the 5,700 sqm green spine of The Newlands.

Colliers Director Daniel McMahon noted that 80 per cent of buyers are professional couples attracted to the Lower North Shore location, while 15 per cent were downsizers from the same areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24509 project_image_fid=263846]

“The Newlands is a development for every generation evidenced by the mix of buyers, from young families who value the large apartments, green space and parkland proximity, to empty nesters who appreciate the premium finishes and walkable lifestyle,” McMahon said.

“Regardless of their stage in life, every purchaser has commented on the tree-top outlook and resident amenities. They see it as a place to create a home and it appeals to their personal values in terms of community, sustainability, and connection to nature.”

Top Spring Australia broke ground late last year, making way for 4.5-star iCIRT-rated builder <a href="/builders/dasco-australia">DASCO</a> to commence construction on stage one of The Newlands, due for completion in late 2025. Top Spring are soon to release the second stage of The Newlands to the market.

<h2>Projects: The Landmark Quarter</h2>

<h2>Location: 8 Marshall Avenue, St Leonards NSW 2065</h2>

<h2>Developer: New Hope Group</h2>

Developer <a href="/developers/new-hope-group">New Hope Group</a>, who has a history in St Leonards having developed <a href="/buildings/the-landmark-st-leonards-500-pacific-highway-st-leonards-nsw-2065">The Landmark</a> just a few years ago, is now selling their second apartment development in the suburb, The Landmark Quarter.

Renowned architecture firm <a href="/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has designed the trio of towers in <a href="/new-apartments/the-landmark-quarter-st-leonards-8-marshall-avenue-st-leonards">The Landmark Quarter</a>, which offers a mixture of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a handful of four-bedroom penthouses. There's also a small number of three-bedroom townhomes, sculpted to sync with the harbour's edge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139897 project_image_fid=212673]

Many of the apartments benefit from city and harbour views, which can be taken in from either the balcony or living area, given all apartments have floor-to-ceiling glass doors to the balcony.

Like The Landmark, Landmark Quarter is focused on resort-style resident experiences and first-class amenities.&nbsp;

Resort-inspired landscapes by Arcadia run between, within and atop the building, with the masterplan offering its private parkland, as well as an oasis pool, sauna and hot spa, cinema room, private dining and games room, outdoor dining and barbecue areas.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139897 project_image_fid=212667]

There'll also be a range of recreational areas, along with a kids' playground, a nature walk and a dog wash station.&nbsp;

New Hope Evergreen has appointed experienced Sydney-based ICIRT Gold Star-rated builder&nbsp;<a href="/builders/binah-constructions">Binah</a> to construct the development, which has secured over $100 million in sales since its launch.

<h2>Projects: Audrey</h2>

<h3>Location: 13-19 Canberra Avenue, St Leonards NSW 2065</h3>

<h3>Developer: Hyecorp Property Group</h3>

Prominent Lower North Shore developers <a href="/developers/hyecorp-property-group">Hyecorp</a>&nbsp;are well advanced at their St Leonards project, <a href="/new-apartments/audrey-st-leonards-13-19-canberra-avenue-st-leonards">Audrey</a>.

Audrey presents the perfect investment opportunity for professionals, particularly those working in the medical industry, given its location among some of Sydney's&nbsp;best medical facilities.

The tower, almost boutique for St Leonards, will home 80 apartments across 12 levels, with&nbsp;<a href="/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a> on board to handle the architecture.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110379 project_image_fid=209058]

Another project inspired by the lush, green landscape of Newlands Park, Audrey apartments have been designed with each including high-end finishes and large outdoor areas, inspired by the timeless classicism of New York.

The inclusion of multi-purpose rooms in every apartment was a conscious effort from Hyecorp to offer more than what is on offer elsewhere in the area. Potentially even acting as a second bedroom, the MPR is primarily targeted at those who are still frequently working from home and want a separate office room away from their everyday living space.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110379 project_image_fid=198978]

Taking inspiration from five-star resorts, Audrey will also be home to a suite of residential amenities, including an onsite daycare and cafe.&nbsp;

Crowning the tower will be a resident’s rooftop, complete with barbecue facilities, a dining room, a personal training studio, a music room, a cinema, a pool and a spa.&nbsp;

St Leonards is growing into a large commercial hub, well connected to both the Sydney CBD and Greater Sydney
