ASX-listed developer Lendlease has secured approval for their new Sydney apartment project, <a href="/new-apartments/one-darling-point-darling-point-road-edgecliff-nsw-2027">One Darling Point</a>.

The circa $500 million project, which will sit on the border of Darling Point and Edgecliff, will comprise 41 two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, each with views of the&nbsp;Sydney Harbour or eastern views stretching from Double Bay to Vaucluse.

The design, by Australian architecture studio Tzannes,&nbsp;is distinguished by a publicly accessible through-site link, which thoughtfully integrates and celebrates the existing heritage-listed Commonwealth Bank building from 1941. The ground floor will feature a curated selection of retail, commercial, and hospitality spaces, seamlessly activating the streetscape.

A four-bedroom penthouse will crown the 17-level building, complete&nbsp;with a rooftop pool and a private terrace.

The project has been assessed under the NSW Government’s recently established in-fill affordable housing scheme and incorporates 15 per cent floor space dedicated to affordable housing for key workers. As a result, the development will include 18 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments for essential services workers in the education, healthcare, childcare, social and emergency sectors.

One Darling Point is being delivered in partnership with Mitsubishi Estate Asia (MEA), the sixth time the duo have worked together following projects One Sydney Harbour, Sydney Place, Melbourne Quarter’s East Tower, and One Circular Quay currently under construction.

Tom Mackellar, CEO Development Lendlease, said the NSW Government's new streamlined planning pathway has accelerated the approval process for One Darling Point.

"Development approval has been secured just five months after public exhibition enabling us to quickly move forward with the project, bringing new homes and jobs to Sydney.

“One Darling Point brings our renowned luxury residential experience to a prime location in Sydney’s East, and will deliver the highest standards of quality and design, alongside the expertise of Tzannes and Alexander &amp;CO.”

The joint venture partners bought the 1,748 sqm, 1 Darling Point Road site, last year from Anka Property Group, who after years of back and forth with the Woollahra Council, had secured an unprecedented uplift in height.

<a href="/developers/charter-hall">Charter Hall</a>’s near-$1 billion Hyde Park tower proposal has secured crucial support from the City of Sydney’s planning committee, marking another step forward in reshaping Elizabeth Street.

The mixed-use project at <a href="/new-apartments/201-elizabeth-street-sydney-nsw-2000">201 Elizabeth Street</a>, on the corner of Park Street and opposite Hyde Park, has been under the spotlight since plans were lodged in late 2024. Now under assessment by the NSW Department of Planning for final determination, the 55-storey scheme combines hotel and residential components in one of the CBD’s most high-profile corners.

Pending final approval, demolition can commence on the existing Pacific Power Building, a 38-level office block originally completed in 1978. The 3,900 sqm site connects directly to Museum Station via underground pedestrian links - a strong locational advantage for future residents and hotel guests alike.

<img alt="Sydney skyline transformation to continue as Charter Hall pitch near-$1 billion skyscraper" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/201%20-%20217%20Elizabeth%20Street%2C%20Sydney.png?VersionId=wxmccer91Ts7gSOKSUID_tbf1mCPjyrJ" />

The $925 million development will deliver 441 hotel rooms across levels 1 to 11, with apartments starting from level 12 upwards. Buyers will have access to a genuine mix of apartment configurations: 67 one-bedders - a relative rarity in new Sydney CBD stock - along with 123 two-bedroom, 58 three-bedroom, and 16 four-bedroom apartments, a total of&nbsp;264 units.

The design by FJC Studio, selected through a competitive design process, breaks up the tower into three visually distinct sections to create what the architect describes as an "urban repair" along Elizabeth Street. The staggered forms aim to maximise views east over Hyde Park and north towards Sydney Harbour, while also reducing overshadowing across the parklands.

Sustainability is a focus, with plans targeting a 5-Star Green Star Buildings v1 rating, a 4-Star NABERS Hotel Energy rating, and a 3-Star NABERS Hotel Water rating. The building is also designed to exceed baseline BASIX standards.

Charter Hall’s proposal joins a cluster of major projects set to reshape this prime Hyde Park corridor. Just up the road, Central Element’s $100 million project at 271 Elizabeth Street will bring 53 apartments above new retail spaces, replacing the Hyde Park Inn hotel. Fife Capital has plans for a 17-level office and apartment redevelopment at 139 Elizabeth Street, further cementing the area’s shift towards a new mixed-use identity.

With its strategic location, diverse apartment mix, and integration of hotel amenities, Charter Hall’s project is expected to draw strong buyer and investor interest once it hits the market.

National developer Fortis has submitted a development application for a major residential project on New F​arm’s dress circle Bowen Terrace.

Designed by DKO Architecture, the proposal includes 74 apartments and four standalone houses, replacing the former Palm Lodge aged care facility on a prime 5,727 sqm site at 424 Bowen Terrace.

The seven-level apartment building will front Moreton Street, while the four individual homes will face Bowen Terrace, positioned to maximise views and enhance the streetscape.

In its submission to Brisbane City Council, DK​O stated that the project aims to “create a high-quality residential development which celebrates its location, maximises amenity for future residents, and makes a meaningful contribution to the surrounding community.”

“The architecture draws inspiration from Brisbane’s subtropical character and traditional Queensland housing, incorporating elements such as verandahs, bay windows, deep balconies, and vertical greenery. The apartment building is configured around a U-shaped layout that frames a north-facing courtyard featuring a swimming pool, spa, and wellness zones.”

<img alt="DKO" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9ce4fbfe-ffc1-4026-b98b-bccc018b60b9" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-07-02%20at%2012.46.24%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=XiD9KY.niDaW9YfF8G9lsl_rw_S.5.dg" />

&nbsp;

A Heritage Assessment was undertaken due to the site's proximity to the heritage-listed Fingal House at 3 Moreton Street. The broader heritage context includes several properties along Moreton Street and Bowen Terrace that fall within Brisbane’s Heritage Overlay.

In its Heritage Impact Statement, Urbis noted that “the proposed works are not considered to have a detrimental impact on the adjoining Local Heritage Place.”

The report stated that the proposed building massing, material palette, and setbacks have been carefully designed to reflect and respect the surrounding architectural character.

The application follows three rounds of pre-lodgement consultation with Brisbane City Council and early engagement with local residents, including two letterbox drops and nine meetings with neighbours. Community feedback led to several design refinements, including increased setbacks, additional deep planting, and noise mitigation through improved waste collection strategies.

The New Farm proposal follows Fortis’ entry into the Brisbane residential market with River House at Kangaroo Point, currently under construction. The developer also controls a prime Newstead site earmarked for 65 apartments.

Fortis is the development arm of real estate investment group Pallas Group and has a substantial pipeline of projects in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, as well as in Richmond and St Kilda in Melbourne.

Gold Coast developer Sherpa Property Group is expanding into Brisbane.

Building on the success of its new Flourish brand—designed to deliver affordable, well-designed homes to a broader range of buyers—Sherpa has lodged plans for a new project, <a href="/new-apartments/symphony-21-23-cordelia-street-south-brisbane-qld-4101">Symphony</a>, at 21–23 Cordelia Street, South Brisbane.

The development application follows the strong performance of Flourish Palm Beach, Sherpa’s debut project under the brand. That project sold over 80 per cent of residences within months, generating more than $110 million in sales and highlighting the strong demand for attainable, quality apartments in desirable locations.

Planned for a 1,366 sqm site in South Brisbane, Symphony will offer a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. Prices are expected to start from $695,000, with the development specifically aimed at first home buyers and rightsizers seeking access to the market without compromising on lifestyle or design.

<img alt="Symphony at South Brisbane " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="866f9005-8c66-47cc-8df2-ebd7a1187339" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/H5002COR-Symphony%20RenderTP%20%284%29.jpg?VersionId=NqJ6wbMoET8Zb2aWLyCYCjgaPc4v89Q6" />

Symphony will feature a two-level rooftop with wellness amenities, resort-style recreation spaces and activated ground-floor retail designed to foster community and enhance the local streetscape.&nbsp;

Sherpa founder Christie Leet said bringing Flourish to Brisbane marks a major milestone for the group, which has delivered 16 residential projects across South East Queensland and is actively expanding its pipeline across Brisbane and the southern Gold Coast.&nbsp;

“Flourish has been so well received because it offers well-crafted apartments at an attainable price-point, without cutting corners on quality or liveability,” said Leet. &nbsp;

“Symphony is an incredibly exciting step for us, it’s our first move into inner Brisbane, and we see huge potential here to deliver something different in a market that really needs it.&nbsp;

“We’re giving more first home buyers and local downsizers the chance to secure a well-designed apartment from $695,000 in one of Brisbane’s most walkable, connected, and vibrant neighbourhoods.&nbsp;

“That’s exactly what Flourish is about, helping more people live where they want to be, without compromise.”&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="/architects/hal-architects">HAL Architects</a> and to be built by <a href="/builders/lps-group">LPS Group</a>, Symphony will benefit from Sherpa’s exclusive build partnership, ensuring certainty of delivery at a time when construction capacity remains tight.&nbsp;

Located moments from QPAC, South Bank, Fish Lane, and Brisbane’s CBD, Symphony will place residents at the heart of Brisbane’s cultural precinct, with easy access to major transport, education, and health hubs.&nbsp;

Subject to approvals, Sherpa expects to commence construction in early 2026, with a market launch planned for September 2025.&nbsp;

Sherpa’s proactive acquisition and delivery pipeline now exceeds $1 billion, supported by its focus on delivering attainable, design-led homes in high-demand, undersupplied urban and coastal precincts across South East Queensland.

One of the Gold Coast’s most significant master-planned projects has been given the green light to proceed, with the Gold Coast Turf Club, in partnership with Aquis Australia, forging ahead with its billion-dollar lifestyle precinct following a positive resolution with community stakeholders.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Originally <a href="/news/qld/gold-coast-turf-club-redevelopment-given-the-all-clear">approved by Council in August 2024</a>, the development, delivered under the Sunlight Lifestyle Precinct banner, is a joint venture between the Gold Coast Turf Club and Aquis.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Sunlight Lifestyle Precinct will transform approximately two hectares of land adjacent to the Turf Club into a <a href="/new-apartments/lots-3-4-racecourse-drive-2-ascot-court-bundall">vibrant mixed-use destination</a> featuring residential, retail and elevated entertainment offerings.&nbsp;

<img alt="Turf Club" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1188b053-7065-4922-830a-f56e728f535e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-07-02%20at%209.54.41%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=gaPO3LFzIpKlhs1kLrBIW4vWkYWry1z_" /> 
&nbsp; 
The announcement marks a new and exciting phase for the Turf Club, following a series of recent infrastructure upgrades, including a major track redevelopment and the introduction of night racing, setting the stage for the next evolution of the entertainment precinct.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“This is a fantastic outcome for the Gold Coast,” said Steve Lines, CEO of the Gold Coast Turf Club.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“We’ve taken a careful, considered approach from day one, and the outcome reflects that.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“This has never been about moving fast. It’s about doing it properly, and with the community beside us. To have that support, and the backing of Gold Coast City Council and the State Government, gives us the confidence to now take the next step.”

The masterplan – designed in collaboration with international and local experts, including Woods Bagot – will include short-stay accommodation, apartments, wellness and fitness spaces, market-style food and retail, rooftop pools, sky gardens, and immersive tropical gardens. &nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
The precinct is designed to complement the Turf Club’s vision to create a world-class entertainment precinct in the cultural heart of the city.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
The project is being led by John Fung, son of Aquis founder Mr Tony Fung, who will now oversee the delivery of Sunlight&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“We’re incredibly proud to be part of such a transformative vision,” Mr Fung.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“Sunlight will be more than a precinct; it’s a chance to create a lasting destination that captures the spirit of the Gold Coast. Our team is energised and working closely with the Turf Club to take the project to market.”

&nbsp; 
The Turf Club extended a special thanks to the City of Gold Coast and the Queensland Government for their continued support throughout the appeal process. &nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“We’re proud to have resolved matters in a way that satisfies our local stakeholders and allows us to move forward with certainty,” Lines added.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“The support from the community has been excellent. Everyone’s aligned, the wheels are now turning, and we are looking forward to delivering a truly world-class community asset that will generate hundreds of millions of dollars for the Gold Coast.”&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
With key approvals now in place and only minor planning refinements remaining, preparations are progressing for a formal public launch of the project.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“Sunlight will be a place to live, stay, visit and play – and it’s unlike anything currently on offer in this part of the Gold Coast,” said Fung.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“We look forward to revealing more soon.”

Community stakeholder resolution paves way for new multi-billion dollar Gold Coast Turf Club precinct

Sydney developer Deicorp has received planning approval from the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure for <a href="/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-53-75-queens-road-five-dock">Kings Bay Village</a>, a $1.8 billion mixed-use precinct set to reimagine three hectares of underutilised land in Five Dock.

The State Significant Development will breathe new life into the Parr​amatta Road Corridor, delivering 1,185 new homes — including 218 affordable dwellings for essential workers — along with 6,500 sqm of public open space, and 14,700 sqm of vibrant retail and commercial offerings.

<img alt="Five Dock" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="53daf36e-db2d-47cb-b885-13d345b80e5b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-07-02%20at%209.25.11%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=v1Nb2by77n7ftY9gpTzPOQnibeZ9bD_z" />

Designed by award-winning architects TURNER, Kings Bay Village is inspired by the area’s industrial legacy, blending classic brick facades and distinctive rooflines with modern urban form.

The precinct will feature six buildings of varying heights that offer&nbsp;views of Kings Bay, Iron Cove and the Sydney CBD.

Positioned just minutes from the future Five Dock Metro Station, Kings Bay Village is the first major urban renewal project supporting the NSW Government and City of Canada Bay Council’s bold vision for the Parramatta Road Corridor, and will contribute over 23 per cent of the Council’s 2029 housing target of 5,000 new homes.

In addition, Deicorp is committing more than $80 million to fund upgrades to local infrastructure, including more than $10 million public domain works, delivering new pedestrian laneways, an activated streetscape, and a 2,290 sqm landscaped park and civic plaza — designed to become the social heart of the community.

<img alt="Kings Bay" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e9b9502c-c0e6-41b6-8eed-1baf4318e896" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-07-02%20at%209.25.20%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=R0GYVKepcAG9J76yDB06IMOh0CVTBEj9" />

Deicorp Chairman, Fouad Deiri OAM, said it was an honour to have Kings Bay Village endorsed as a State Significant Development.

“This project represents everything Deicorp stands for — considered design, community impact, and delivering homes where they’re needed most,"&nbsp;Deiri said.

“We’re proud to be the first major development to support the NSW Government and City of Canada Bay’s vision for the Parramatta Road Corridor, and by delivering new parks, pedestrian links and plazas, we will create lasting value not just for residents, but for the entire Five Dock community."

The Parramatta Road Corridor is set to play a vital role in Sydney’s future, serving as a central artery that links the city’s two major CBDs — Sydney in the east and Parramatta in the west.

As one of Sydney’s most active developers, Deicorp’s pipeline continues to grow, with around $3 billion worth of projects set to launch to market across the remainder of the year. To date, Deicorp has designed, developed and delivered over 12,000 apartments across 40 Sydney suburbs.

Mosman is undergoing a residential renaissance, with a wave of mid-rise developments reshaping the suburb’s future.

The latest proposal comes from Metis, a newly launched and fast-growing strategic property development advisory firm founded by industry veterans Jeffrey Curnow, Arian Galanis, and Nicholas Madgwick.

Metis plans to demolish five houses across a consolidated 1,961 sqm site spanning 93–101A Awaba Street to make way for a new six-storey building. The development will feature 29 two- and three-bedroom apartments and a two-level basement with 58 car spaces.

Designed by Cox Architecture, the building responds to Mosman’s distinctive topography and character.

"Our vision is to create an elegant and timeless building that will contribute to the neighbourhood vitality while being one of the first to embrace a future built form vision for Mosman," Cox noted in their submission to the local council.

"We draw our inspiration from the Heidelberg School and their transformative presence at Camp Curlew in Mosman. We aim to reflect their keen interest in transient light and its quality and effect on materials and colours. With an emphasis on a high quality and natural material and colour palette that is complimentary to local natural surroundings and architectural fabric."

The elevated corner site, with its steep fall, will offer upper-floor residents sweeping views of Middle Harbour. Landscaped courtyards, deep soil planting, and EV charging points in the basement reflect the project’s eco-conscious ethos.

<img alt="Mosman" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1b5acfff-9717-45f5-90d2-a8a3c7b60291" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-07-01%20at%209.49.57%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=acK4aSTN49fq5qEVtjhHd_mtANrbJ5ij" />

The Awaba Street development is part of a broader shift driven by NSW Government planning reforms, including the Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy. This policy has earmarked areas of Mosman—particularly those within walking distance of Spit Junction—as suitable for medium-density housing. Just 383 metres from the town centre, the site qualifies for increased density and will reach the 22-metre height limit permitted under the policy.

The project adds to a growing list of luxury developments transforming Mosman. Notable projects include Prosker's <a href="/new-apartments/redan-lane-mosman-22-redan-street-mosman-nsw-2088">Redan Lane</a> development on the Balmoral slopes and DARE Property Group’s upcoming <a href="/new-apartments/twenty88-mosman-696-706-military-road-mosman-nsw-2088">Twenty88</a>—a mixed-use development featuring 27 apartments above a revitalised retail precinct on Military Road, set to launch later this year.

Approaching completion of their luxury Broadbeach tower, Faro, builder-developer 5Point Projects is doubling down—not just in the same suburb, but on the same street.

5Point has lodged plans for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lumara-108-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">Lumara</a>, a new high-rise at 108 Old Burleigh Road in Broadbeach, just a few hundred metres from Faro, which is being developed in partnership with Bottega Group.

The proposed development, referred to as 108OBR in planning documents, will comprise 37 luxury apartments within a 26-level tower designed by Cottee Parker. It will replace the existing two-level River Dell walk-up apartments on the 827 sqm site.<img alt="108 OBR" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1150936d-5652-457f-84b8-eb4ec84b344d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-06-30%20at%201.38.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=uKly9ejIupaF_9TjAtzIhOKfp9YfhDeS" />

There will be a maximum of two units per floor from levels two to 19.

Resident amenities—including a swimming pool, spa, sauna, steam room, BBQ area, private dining room, lounge, and work-from-home facilities—will span levels 20 and 21, situated below four whole-floor, four-bedroom apartments. The penthouse will occupy two levels and feature a private gym, golf simulator, rooftop pool, sauna, steam room, and outdoor barbecue kitchen.

The Town Planning Report by UPS stated: 
"Overall, the proposed development presents a unique and innovative urban rejuvenation of the subject site, further ensured through the high-quality architectural design that affords a comfortable, luxury living environment located within the central location of Broadbeach, and warrants the Council’s support and approval, subject to reasonable and relevant conditions."

108OBR expands 5Point's growing Gold Coast portfolio. As well as Faro Broadbeach, they have two developments underway on the Palm Beach beachfront, with over $160 million of apartments contracted across <a href="/new-apartments/palm-shores-palm-beach-171-173-jefferson-lane-palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Shores</a> and <a href="/new-apartments/ophira-105-107-jefferson-lane-palm-beach">Ophira</a>.

The new Broadbeach project adds to the transformation of Old Burleigh Road. Developer Polycell is building <a href="/new-apartments/the-rochester-broadbeach-143-surf-parade-broadbeach">The Rochester</a> nearby, and has plans for two more projects on the indemand strip, while Graya recently launched <a href="/new-apartments/enclave-by-graya-118-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach">Enclave by Graya</a>.

The Main Beach beachfront is set for another new luxury apartment tower.

Computershare billionaire Chris Morris is teaming up with luxury car dealer Greg Eastment, the latter of whom is behind Amani Main Beach just down the road, to deliver <a href="/new-apartments/amali-main-beach-3535-3537-main-beach-parade-main-beach-qld-4217">Amali Main Beach</a>, just 18 apartments on the dress circle Main Beach Parade.

High-end developer <a href="/developers/core-property-partners">Core Property Partners</a>, who has projects in the Gold Coast and Brisbane and were also a part of the Amani development team, are also involved in Amali.

Bayden Goddard has been called on again to handle the designs of the luxury building on an 810 sqm site at 3535-3537 Main Beach Parade, next door to the nine-level Sea building.

<img alt="Main Beach" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d64eeaff-7715-435c-af92-af378dc93cf5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-06-30%20at%2010.23.08%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=pnrrqkA99D0ZUFEx1kUkZHJK9hASJEUw" />

Proposed is a 23-level tower with:

<ul data-end="1731" data-start="1438">
	<li data-end="1479" data-start="1438">
	16 full-floor, three-bedroom residences
	</li>
	<li data-end="1530" data-start="1480">
	2 double-storey skyhomes with five bedrooms each

	<li data-end="1636" data-start="1531">
	327 sqm of communal recreation space on Level 1, including a beachfront pool, gym, sauna and steam room
	</li>
	<li data-end="1731" data-start="1637">
	A rooftop retreat exclusive to the two penthouses, boasting private pools and wellness zones
	</li>
</ul>

Each floorplate, at 376 sqm, delivers spacious, open-plan living — a hallmark of BGD Architecture’s approach to beachfront luxury. The entire tower is oriented to maximise views across the Pacific Ocean, while a feature porte-cochère entry and vertical landscaping lend resort-style elegance from the street level.

The Town Planning Report by UPS said the outcome is a "product of exemplary design quality, that will contribute positively to the advancement of the City’s iconic skyline and enhancement of visual aesthetic and vibrancy of the local streetscape along Main Beach Parade."

"Overall, the proposed development presents a unique and innovative urban rejuvenation of the subject site, further ensured through the high-quality architectural design that affords a comfortable, luxury living environment located within the central location of Main Beach, and warrants the Council’s support and approval, subject to reasonable and relevant conditions."

The development trio are soon to welcome buyers to <a href="/new-apartments/amani-3519-main-beach-parade-main-beach">Amani Main Beach</a>, a similar style tower with just 15 luxury apartments.

Boutique Melbourne developer <a href="/developers/carpe-group">Carpe Group</a>&nbsp;is teaming up for the fourth time with joint venture partner ICON Developments to enter the new apartment market in Hawthorn.

The duo is planning a low-rise block of 32 two- and three-bedroom apartments on a prime 3,680 sqm site on Robinson Road, just a short walk from Riversdale Road and located midway between the centres of both Hawthorn and Camberwell.

Designed by acclaimed architecture studio <a href="/architects/powell-glenn">Powell &amp; Glenn</a>, the low-density development is expected to cater predominantly to owner-occupiers—Carpe's primary target market. The majority of the 32 apartments will feature three bedrooms.

The architectural design aims to reflect Hawthorn’s established residential character, integrating seamlessly with the surrounding streetscape in a modern apartment setting. The building will be set within landscaped gardens designed by renowned landscape architect <a href="/landscape-architect/myles-baldwin-design">Myles Baldwin</a>.

Carpe founders Tim Campbell and Stuart Kacir hope to secure planning approval later this year, with plans to launch the project to market in early 2026. They are expecting to complete the building in mid-2028, pending approvals.

Carpe previously partnered with ICON Developments on Grandview in Brighton, a boutique development of just 10 apartments completed in 2023. They are currently delivering <a href="/new-apartments/ocean-house">Ocean House</a> in Hampton—18 apartments located just one street back from Hampton Street—which have proven particularly popular with local downsizers.

Carpe currently has <a href="/new-apartments/studley-park-residences-kew-85-studley-park-road-kew-vic-3101">Studley Park Residences</a>, a collection of 31 apartments in the heart of Kew, on the market, as well as <a href="/new-apartments/the-coterie-sandringham-49-51-abbott-street-sandringham">The Coterie</a>, a 25-apartment development in Sandringham. They have another project in planning, <a href="/new-apartments/53-57-cambridge-street-collingwood-vic-3066">Cambridge Collingwood</a>, 27 apartments with ground-level retail, which is expected to secure approval later this year.

Designed by acclaimed architecture studio Powell & Glenn, the low-density development is expected to cater predominantly to owner-occupiers—Carpe's primary target market.
