Renowned Perth developer Edge Visionary Living&nbsp;is witnessing an unprecedented surge in penthouse sales across its luxury waterfront apartment portfolio in Western Australia.&nbsp;

Within the past quarter alone, <a href="/developers/edge-visionary-living">Edge</a>&nbsp;has seen remarkable traction with the sale of two sub-penthouses and three penthouses, collectively valued at $36 million.

The highest sale came from their&nbsp;<a href="/developments/scarborough-wa-6019">Scarborough</a>&nbsp;apartment development&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/the-dunes-beachfront-residences-scarborough-1-reserve-street-scarborough-wa-6019">The Dunes Beachfront Residences</a>, where they secured a $12.5 million buyer for the 809 sqm penthouse crowning one of the two beachfront buildings, setting a new residential price record in the process.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134709 project_image_fid=248347]

The Dunes Beachfront Residences was the first of the award-winning company’s oceanfront developments launched last year.

The project is a collection of 223 two and three-bedroom luxury apartments, sub-penthouses, and penthouses. The project will comprise two boutique buildings, each with around 115 residences.

Edge has Tier 1 builder Roberts Co engaged to construct The Dunes, with completion slated for October 2025.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138456 project_image_fid=214907]

Edge also saw success at&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/broadway-on-the-bay-crawley-168-broadway-crawley-wa-6009">Broadway on the Bay</a> in <a href="/developments/crawley-wa-6009">Crawley</a>, where they sold the 337 sqm riverfront penthouse for $8.22 million. Broadway on the Bay, another project which is expected to complete in late 2025, has just 21 apartments across eight levels on a prime 1,413 sqm block at 168 Broadway.

Not to be left out of the penthouse surge, their Mindarie beachfront project <a href="/new-apartments/claytons-mindarie-beachfront-mindarie-50-alexandria-view-mindarie-wa-6030">Claytons</a> also saw a record breaking sale. The 274 sqm penthouse sold for $3.052 million.

The highest sale came from their Scarborough apartment development The Dunes Beachfront Residences, where they secured a $12.5 million buyer for the 809 sqm penthouse

Edge Visionary Living see penthouse sales flurry across Perth-wide portfolio

The recent North Sydney Council approval to add another level to Central Element's Neutral Bay apartment development, Pienza, has made way for the release of seven more apartments at the in-demand development

Dubbed the Palazzo Collection, the limited collection introduces two new levels of seven two and three-bedroom penthouse-proportioned residences.

<a href="/new-apartments/pienza-neutral-bay-12-waters-road-neutral-bay">Pienza</a> now sits at 37 apartments across a contemporary six-level building designed by <a href="/architects/sjb-architects">SJB Architects</a>.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29544 project_image_fid=188796]

Design Director Adam Haddow described Pienza as "the contemporary version of an Italian hilltop town," characterised by a classically inspired façade, layered with texture and polish.

The Palazzo Collection offers residences with a north-facing aspect, eight-metre frontages, and secluded balconies that extend from the open-plan interiors.

The light-filled living area, sunbathed by floor-to-ceiling windows accentuated by a palette of neutral shades, can feature an optional Ecosmart fireplace.

The heart of the home is the chef's kitchen equipped with superior appliances by Sub-Zero and Wolf, complemented by an optional bar. Each residence includes a spacious home office.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29544 project_image_fid=188793]

Retail and dining options have also been incorporated into Pienza, with the ground plane reactivated with two levels of commercial space, housing five retail spaces.

Pienza will also offer exclusive lifestyle amenities, including a resident garden, a fitness studio, a rooftop swimming pool, and alfresco dining spaces.

The construction of Pienza is currently underway with the renowned builder, <a href="/builders/richard-crookes-constructions">Richard Crookes Constructions</a>, with expected completion in early 2025. The project sits on Waters Road, one street back from the&nbsp;<a href="/developments/neutral-bay-nsw-2089">Neutral Bay</a>&nbsp;Village.

<a href="/developers/central-element">Central Element</a>&nbsp;is for for a busy 2024, with projects in Bondi Beach, Coogee, and Hyde Park expected to launch.

The record for an apartment in&nbsp;<a href="/developments/fitzroy-vic-3065">Fitzroy</a>, one of Melbourne’s oldest suburbs, has hit a new high following the sale of three amalgamated apartments in Chapter Group's Fitzroy Fitzroy project on Smith Street.

The three combined apartments, which will made a 400 sqm home with 120 sqm of outdoor entertaining space, sold for around $10 million.

The buyer was an Australian expat who will call&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/fitzroy-fitzroy-411-421-smith-street-fitzroy">Fitzroy Fitzroy</a>&nbsp;home when the project is completed later this year.

The buyer, in their 30s,&nbsp;was attracted to the project’s central location on Smith Street and the ability to create their dream home in the sky.&nbsp;

The penthouse buyer went through a customisation process for the floorplan and interior finishes with DKO and <a href="/developers/chapter-group">Chapter Group</a>. The result is a whole-floor four-bedroom apartment with five bathrooms, a library room, a games room, a formal lounge, a living room, a dining room, a mud room, laundry and butler’s kitchen, as well as 360-degree views and parking for six cars.&nbsp;

The buyer will also have access to the project’s residential amenities including a residents-only ‘Smith Club’ with communal bar and dining, private meeting and work-from-home spaces and an expansive tranquil rooftop garden on level nine designed by <a href="/landscape-architect/tcl">TCL</a>.&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="/architects/dko-architecture">DKO Architecture</a>, Fitzroy Fitzroy sits behind a grand heritage brick facade, once home to MacRobertson’s Garage and Workshop, and reaches nine storeys high, complete with angular rooftops and a chamfered western side to create sunlit internal spaces and generous viewlines.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14394 project_image_fid=183065]

Internally, two colour schemes are on offer, both inspired by the culture and character of Fitzroy – the Avant Scheme is marked by fresh, natural finishes and a muted colour palette, while the Gastronome Scheme is bold, unrestrained and modern.&nbsp;

“Fitzroy Fitzroy initially launched with 56 apartments and six townhomes but following a number of amalgamations, the project make-up has shrunk to 52 apartments and five townhomes,” says Dean Lefkos, Chapter Group Founder &amp; Director.

“All buyers to date have been owner-occupiers, very much from within the local area ranging from 20s to 60s, comprising downsizers, empty nesters and young professionals.&nbsp;

“Buyers have largely been attracted to the heritage facade and unique design of Fitzroy Fitzroy, particularly the way it fuses old with new. Apartments and terrace homes boast industrial features the suburb is known and loved for - angular rooftops, concrete, steel and brick, yet a modern edge is evident via fluted glass, brass accents and natural stone."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14394 project_image_fid=183072]

At ground level, an internal laneway connects Smith Street to the residents’ lobby, inspired by the local arcades in Melbourne’s CBD, complete with ground-floor residential amenities and two retail tenancies.&nbsp;

Fitzroy Fitzroy is 70 per cent sold and is currently under construction. Custom floorplans are still available, with completion scheduled for Q4 2025. There is a further opportunity for a full-floor exclusive residence, up to 650sqm to be fully customised.&nbsp;

Remaining apartments are priced from $650,000.

Fitzroy Fitzroy is a joint venture between <a href="/developers/chapter-group">Chapter Group</a>, <a href="/developers/crema-group">Projects by Crema</a> and <a href="/developers/cdl-australia">CDL Australia</a>.

Confidence in Melbourne's off the plan apartment market soars with record $10 million Fitzroy sale

As the final touches are made to the almost sold-out $75 million <a href="/buildings/emerson-kirra-100-musgrave-street-coolangatta">Emerson</a> project by <a href="/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch and Faigen</a>, the Melbourne-based developer has unveiled its luxury penthouse, one of the best in the southern <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>.

Located in the heart of the intimate <a href="/developments/kirra-qld-4225">Kirra</a> beach community and atop the 13-level building, Emerson’s four-bedroom mega penthouse is now open for offers in excess of $10 million.

<img alt="Emerson Interior penthouse masterbedroom" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ba8b8581-8748-4770-bc48-c1ba9c467914" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/1819_2.10_Interior_Penthouse_Master_Bedroom_R008.jpg?VersionId=EyFVYtPLeKRSJmr5dvvsAgH0e5D3suNG" />

Architecturally designed by the award-winning Brisbane design firm Rothelowman, the expansive penthouse features four bedrooms, each with its own ensuite and balcony, a study, and a large multipurpose room that can be tailored as a media room, home office, or fifth bedroom.

Matt George, head of sales for <a href="/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a>, said the&nbsp;penthouse is undoubtedly one of the most exclusive ever seen on the Gold Coast and will set a benchmark for the southern beaches.

“With soaring 3.2m ceilings, an intuitive design flow, and wall-length windows that dissolve into cinematic views of Kirra, the penthouse offers endless opportunities to marvel at exquisite surroundings from a private, elevated oasis," George says.

The main living space meets the dining area&nbsp;and kitchen, complete with premium Gaggenau appliances and a full butler’s pantry. Expansive dual balconies provide extensive views across the Pacific Ocean, leveraging the unique north-facing beachfront position to capture both sunrises and sunsets.

<img alt="Emerson Interior penthouse living area" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ce733791-5ef0-4273-a603-e846774d1a0a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/1819_2.08_Interior_Penthouse_Living_R007.jpg?VersionId=9Q9XpMBE.eNQ3ZR8vjOi.qlbg7mvBtqC" />

Not only is <a href="/buildings/emerson-kirra-100-musgrave-street-coolangatta">Emerson</a> positioned just a 150 metre stroll away from the famed shores of Kirra Beach, but the penthouse is also strategically located to take advantage of its proximity to the now completed Kirra Beach Hotel and Kirra Beach House, just a stone's throw away.

Daniel Faigen of <a href="/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch and Faigen</a> says when you pair a premium location with the highest standard of residential design, it becomes challenging to conceive a better home than the Emerson penthouse.

“There will never be another penthouse of this calibre on the southern Gold Coast, where world class surf breaks roll into your doorstep, and unmatched views welcome you from every angle," Faigen says.

<img alt="Emerson Interior penthouse kitchen" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6d70244b-d4cf-44ca-b939-7474e290afc4" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/1819_2.09_Interior_Penthouse_Kitchen_A_R005.jpg?VersionId=QFRXqC46Dw2yQS3bQSMgrrYWMS2EoucM" />

The penthouse will crown the collection of 27 apartments within <a href="/buildings/emerson-kirra-100-musgrave-street-coolangatta">Emerson</a>, all of which were snapped up within months of their release.

An exclusive work-life lounge on the ground floor of <a href="/buildings/emerson-kirra-100-musgrave-street-coolangatta">Emerson</a> provides residents with a casual work from home space, with private alcoves and seating overlooking parkland and beachfront.

A north-facing, outdoor sun lounge sits near a resort-style pool set in sub-tropical landscaping.

Scaffolding is now starting to come down, and full construction completion is just around the corner for the <a href="/buildings/emerson-kirra-100-musgrave-street-coolangatta">Emerson</a> project, with residents expected to move in by April 2024.

<a href="/buildings/emerson-kirra-100-musgrave-street-coolangatta">Emerson</a> is the second of three <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> projects undertaken by the Melbourne-based developer <a href="/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a>, following the sell-out success of its <a href="/new-apartments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> debut, Hemingway. Construction of <a href="/new-apartments/yves-mermaid-beach-7-9-mermaid-avenue-mermaid-beach">Yves Mermaid Beach</a> is also well underway, with completion slated for December 2024.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=106646]

Matt George, head of sales for Hirsch & Faigen, said the penthouse is undoubtedly one of the most exclusive ever seen on the Gold Coast and will set a benchmark for the southern beaches.

Riverlee has unveiled an expansive waterfront penthouse which will top its $600 million <a href="/new-apartments/seafarers-docklands-731-flinders-street-docklands">Seafarers apartment development</a> on the Docklands waterfront.

Designed by <a href="/developers/riverlee">Riverlee</a> founder and architect Clement Lee OAM in collaboration with Nonda Katsalidis and the team Fender Katsalidis, the 719 sqm, luxury penthouse has been priced from $18 million.

The apartment, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, has been designed with its own personality and configuration to create a result that is refined and compelling,&nbsp;Fender Katsalidis principal Rosie Morley says.

“Generous scale, bold intersecting forms, integrated joinery and the masterful interplay of texture, colour, and light continue across every room,” Morley says.

“With framed views to green outlooks, these apartments use biophilic design to make luxury and simplicity one.

"Skylit conservatories and terraces provide an immediate sense of calm, and flexible floor spaces give residents the opportunity to come together or break away.”

<img alt="Seafarers" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e940c95d-7cf0-4ac6-ba49-f238aaf1579d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-12-11%20at%202.08.35%20pm.png?VersionId=xn1gzNYIyWfHHpdEGxRazymPbtkz41pU" />

Home to Australia’s first 1 Hotel, the US-founded, nature-inspired luxury brand, <a href="/new-apartments/seafarers-docklands-731-flinders-street-docklands">Seafarers</a> will be home to the first completed hotel-branded residences in Melbourne.

Supported by the dedicated team of over 200 hotel staff, residents gain full access to guest amenities and hotel services such as housekeeping, in-room spa treatments, private chef, 24/7 concierge, botanical and pet care, valet, and signature 1 Hotel events.

Launching the penthouse to the market in the same month <a href="/developers/riverlee">Riverlee</a> kicks off its 30-year anniversary celebrations, Clement Lee says the luxury residence is a project of personal significance to himself and Riverlee’s in-house design team.

‘’The penthouse at Seafarers offers an experience that exemplars and exceeds the quality, functionality and placemaking that Riverlee has become known for," Lee says.

"This is the culmination of my career, 30 years as a developer and 40 years as an architect and urban planner.

“Working with our long-term project partners Fender Katsalidis, we have created something that signifies more than a home — it is the crown jewel of Seafarers and a legacy that I am personally very proud of.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=173913]

Situated on the final piece of Melbourne’s original waterfront, the 18th-floor penthouse represents the last opportunity for uninterrupted views of Melbourne’s Yarra River, boasting its own 72 sqm biophilic open terrace, a rare offering for its height and scale. Inside it has&nbsp;floor to ceiling views, a private lobby entrance, wine cellar, formal dining, and cocktail lounge.

The 125 sqm master suite features&nbsp;Poliform walk-in robes, while guest bedrooms and social spaces are arranged around a grand central gallery and internal conservatory.

With construction underway, 1 Hotel &amp; Homes Melbourne is set to open in 2024. The Agency co-founder Steven Chen says the premium offering and the imminent timing of the penthouse’s completion will be of interest to high net-worth clients looking for a brand new turnkey residence.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=173942]

“This is a rare offering in terms of location, the immense size of the residence and the integrated 5-star hotel services and amenities on offer, so we are anticipating strong interest,” Chen says.

“With breathtaking views of the Yarra River and the beautiful Melbourne CBD skyline, this lock-and-leave penthouse offers immense privacy and high security."

Chen believes there will be a lot of clients interstate and internationally that will want to acquire the penthouse as a second or third residence.

Recent findings by Knight Frank Research have revealed future demand for second homes, including branded residences, is expected to be driven by rising affluence, increased mobility, and the desire of wealthy investors to expand their residential property portfolios.

Fifteen per cent of UHNWIs have been considering a purchase in 2023, it reports, and global sales of prime and super-prime properties have rebounded, with Australia considered a favoured destination for second home purchases.

Kokoda Property's Ruby Ruby Penthouse Collection offers the pinnacle of luxury apartment living in Brisbane's Milton.

Penthouses will open up to a light-filled living room that takes in the backdrop of the Brisbane River and the city skyline. The open living and dining areas flow seamlessly to a large balcony overlooking sweeping views of Milton.

Modern curves and lines wrap the kitchen bench with delicate marble countertops, premium appliances and warm soft finishes, while the bedrooms, characterised by natural light and ample space, create a cosy sanctuary with soft carpeting and clean white walls.&nbsp;

The luxury penthouses and sub penthouses in Ode, Double Bay, the high-end apartment development by Top Spring, have officially sold out, and with an average sale price of $20 million across the five residences.

Ode first set the sales record for Double Bay with its $24.9 million penthouse sale last year and since then has <a href="/news/nsw/top-spring-secure-double-bays-second-most-expensive-apartment-at-ode-double-bay">consistently achieved strong sales</a>.

Read more:&nbsp;<a href="/news/nsw/downsizers-splash-21-49-million-on-ode-double-bay-penthouse">Downsizers splash $21.49 million on Ode Double Bay penthouse</a>

The six-storey building, designed by celebrated Sydney architect Luigi Rosselli, is located in the village heart of Double Bay on Cross Street, best known for its restaurants and art galleries.

Construction <a href="/news/nsw/construction-commences-at-top-springs-ode-double-bay-apartment-development">commenced on the project</a> in July.

Top Spring Australia Managing Director, Sydney Ma, said buyers have been drawn to the Double Bay village lifestyle and Ode’s extraordinary blend of architecture, art and culture.

“Buyers recognise that Ode will become a sculptural landmark in Double Bay and is a defining point in its renaissance, bringing to life the symbiotic relationship between architecture and art,” Ma said.

“They also appreciate the meticulously curated interiors by Alwill that connects with the purchasers’ own sense of style and aesthetic, whether it be the curved wine wall or Rosselli's signature statement fireplace design.’’

<img alt="ODe Double Bay" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="da43b63a-7e40-4067-927b-d1ace1283dd8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-10-26%20at%202.58.30%20pm.png?VersionId=VnRR4U7YHh9wzAnbt8nu_aM0kcRjla5z" />

He said the final eight apartments, known as The Village Residences, were next to sell.

“The final release within Ode encapsulates the same level of design-thinking and personalisation as the penthouse collection, and connection to the vibrant village atmosphere,” Ma added.

“Ranging in size from 234 sqm to 309 sqm they are effectively the size of a single-level home, with the added security and privacy of apartment living.

“Each of the 15 residences has access to a dedicated on-site concierge who will curate a range of services and experiences including private meal deliveries from Double Bay institution Indigo, which is 
expanding into the building.

“The concierge service can also organise drycleaning, parcel collections, or theatre, restaurant and water taxi bookings. At its core is the concept of ‘giving time back’ so residents can enjoy more of the things they most desire to do.’’

Managing Director of 1st City Projects, Brad Caldwell-Eyles, said Ode’s architecture, location and extraordinary attention to detail captivated the attention of well-heeled buyers looking to downsize from 
their large harbourside homes.

“Travel plays a large part of the lives of our buyers, so Ode’s ability to deliver the size and comfort of a luxury home with security and a low maintenance ‘lock and go’ home in the heart of the Double Bay village has incredible appeal,” Caldwell-Eyles said.

“Ode’s dedicated concierge service and the inclusion of two outstanding restaurants – Indigo and Carte Café – also plays into the incredible lifestyle experience on offer.”

Prices in The Village Residences collection start from $9.7 million for a three-bedroom residence. Ode’s neighbouring sales gallery is open by appointment and includes Rosselli's signature statement fireplace design, timber and travertine floors, stone benchtops, and premium cabinetry.

Top Spring Australia’s other Sydney projects under construction include Munro House in Elizabeth Bay and The Newlands, a $600 million master planned community in St Leonards.

Burbury says it's the best penthouse on offer at the 18-level building, given its north west views capture both the city and Albert Park and will never be built out. the rooftop has a private terrace with a swimming pool.

The penthouse is one of four in the $170 million tower which SIDG launched in March.

Park Quarter is now over 60 per cent sold and the team at SIDG are in the final stages of appointing a builder for the project, which they expect to start construction on next year and complete in 2026.

There are 244 apartments in total at <a href="/new-apartments/park-quarter-melbourne-474-st-kilda-road-melbourne">Park Quarter</a>, which start from level six. They will sit atop a Marriott Executive Apartment, one of the first in Australia. The building has been designed by COX Architecture, with interiors by DKO.

Residents of <a href="/new-apartments/park-quarter-melbourne-474-st-kilda-road-melbourne">Park Quarter </a>can have access to all of the hotel amenity through a club membership subscription, but they'll also have their own amenity. They will have everything from a 24/7 concierge, a pool, gym, and co-working spaces, to a theatre room and a golf simulator, plus pet wash room, mud room equipped with high pressure wash machine, and smart parcel lockers.

Earlier this year we caught up with Colliers Director Zoe Powell, who is in charge of sales at Park Quarter. She said residents can opt in or out of the extensive amenity on offer in the building, which can lower their strata fees.

SIDG secure $13 million penthouse sale at Park Quarter on St Kilda Road

Residential developer Azure has secured a buyer for the most expensive penthouse in their Toowong apartment development, One Earle Lane.

The penthouse, one of four that will top the project in Brisbane's inner west, sold for $3.85 million to a local buyer.

One Earle Lane by Azure, which is taking shape on a 2,697 sqm parkside block on the corner of Sylvan Road and Earle Lane, comprises 90 apartments across eight levels.

Just eight apartments are left in the project, including three penthouses which start from $3.6 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112120 project_image_fid=206696]

Azure Director Trent Kiernan said One Earle Lane has been "extremely well received by the market."

“We’re pleased to announce that, with construction now well under way, the first of our exclusive penthouse collection has sold to a local buyer capping off a strong run of sales across the development,” Kiernan said.

“One Earle Lane has been extremely well received by the market with buyers recognising our vision to create a premium project that offers a suite of superbly appointed residences and amenities.”

Designed by Paul Conrad from Conrad Architects, One Earle Lane will deliver a collection of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments that have been crafted to take advantage of the site’s proximity to urban and natural amenity, including Toowong Park and the nearby Brisbane River.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112120 project_image_fid=206695]

Residences in the Parkview and Penthouse Collection each deliver unobstructed northern views across the heritage-listed park.

The four penthouse apartments command park and city views on the northern façade and provide spacious living areas that are enhanced by expansive balconies.

Each penthouse features three bedrooms plus a multi-purpose room.

“Among the buyers showing interest in the remaining Parkview and Penthouse Collection are affluent downsizers from surrounding suburbs who appreciate everything the area has to offer,” Keirnan added.

“As One Earle Lane starts to take shape, we anticipate that interest in our Parkview and Penthouse Collections will continue to increase.”

One Earle Lane takes residential living in Toowong to a new level, from the entry lobby, concierge desk and business lounge, to the rooftop residents club above the eighth floor with its resort-style facilities including a wellness area with a large sauna, steam room, hot and cold magnesium plunge baths and gymnasium.

The rooftop recreation club will feature a 25-metre swimming pool with sun lounges and barbecue area, while the wellness centre will deliver a combined offering of restoration zones and physical activities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112120 project_image_fid=206691]

The indoor spaces within the residents’ recreation club include a cinema and a private dining room, which is fully equipped with a chef’s kitchen to provide a true residential dining experience - or it can double as a luxe boardroom or an area for business presentations.

One Earle Lane, with its dominating frontage along the tree-lined Sylvan Road, takes advantage of its prime location in Toowong, the western gateway to Brisbane’s CBD and surrounded by natural and urban amenities, including retail, education and professional employment nodes.

Keirnan said Azure has taken a global design approach with One Earle Lane to create bespoke residences that are aligned with the demands of owner occupiers.

“We pride ourselves on creating communities in which people live and One Earle Lane epitomises this philosophy. The level of amenity to be found is the kind that would only be available in a building with twice the number of apartments.

“One Earle Lane also delivers a diverse range of residences to cater for a range of buyers looking for a chic and sophisticated lifestyle that truly feels like home. We are pleased to say that our buyers recognise the level of detail and planning that has gone into this project to achieve this.”

One Earle Lane is under construction by 5Point Projects, the builder that is currently progressing construction of Azure’s One Five Six project in New Farm, which is due for completion in the first quarter of 2024.

Construction of One Earle Lane began in January this year, with Azure targeting completion in the fourth quarter of next year.
