Harry Triguboff's love affair with Surfers Paradise is showing no sign of waivering.

His apartment development giant, Meriton, has filed plans for yet another soaring tower on the Surfers Paradisde beachfront, its fourth in as many years.

The new development, Meriton Shore, at 126 Esplanade Surfers Paradise, takes its name from the 52-year-old high-rise, The Shore, which currently sits on the vast 3,460 sqm site along with The Dolphins boutique apartment block and several high-street retail spaces.

Meriton Shore will have 519 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments across a 73-level tower designed by Cottee Parker with landscaping by DBI.

The majority of the apartments will be located above a seven-level podium, which will be crowned by an indoor and outdoor amenity level. There will be an outdoor pool, with integrated spa and kids pool, as well barbecue facilties, a sauna, and an indoor pool. On the level below will be a gym and a lounge room.

<img alt="Meriton" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f54cec93-b2b5-4c90-adce-bb6e0693e7e4" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-08-21%20at%201.59.50%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=F5V2Mqhx0hM2VZzm1BI9EoKHxLIM4ALT" />

At the foot of the tower will be five food and beverage tenancies, fronting Esplanade and Ocean Avenue.

The apartment mix is weighted towards two bedrooms (278) and three bedrooms (136). 86 one-beds are planned, and 19 four-bedroom apartments.

he Town Planning Report from UPS said&nbsp;the proposal will contribute highly desirable outcomes for the subject site and the Light Rail Urban Renewal Area and urban neighbourhood in which it is located, through the high-quality architectural design, bespoke integration of landscape design outcomes and the mix of land use activities to invigorate the public realm around the site.

"The proximity of the site to the high-frequency light rail network represents an opportunity to bring forward substantial investment and renewal of the site to deliver upon the intent for Surfers Paradise and the Light Rail Urban Renewal Area to transition toward the highly-connected, compact, mixed-use environment that is envisaged both by the Council and State Government," UPS noted in its submission.

"The proposed development seizes the opportunity to deliver a mixed-use environment promoting highly efficient use of the subject site, creating active frontages to The Esplanade, Ocean Avenue and Surfers Paradise Boulevard, through ground-level tenancies planned to accommodate food and drink outlets with outdoor dining spaces engaging with street life."

The 3,460 sqm site is less than 300&nbsp;metres from the under construction Iconica, 260 metres from Ocean that was completed in 2022, and 700 metres from the recently launched Cypress Palms, set back from the beach on Cypress Avenue.

The four developments total well over 2,000 apartments.

On <a href="/news/qld/harry-triguboffs-meriton-spends-67-5-million-on-another-esplanade-surfers-paradise-site">spending $67.5 million on the site</a>, which took Meriton's spending on Surfers Paradise sits to more than $176 million in the past year,&nbsp;Triguboff said he is putting his Gold Coast wallet away for the time being and had no plans for more buys.

Triguboff said the latest purchase was not just a sign of confidence in Surfers Paradise, but also a reflection on how much easier it was to do business on the Gold Coast than in Sydney.

“In Sydney you talk to the city’s town planners and get a ‘take it or leave’ attitude," Triguboff said.

“That’s not the case on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane, where the planners and councils are fair and, if a rule clearly is wrong, they’ll change it.

“In other words, life’s a lot easier for me in Queensland.”

On spending $67.5 million on the site, which took Meriton's spending on Surfers Paradise sits to more than $176 million in the past year, Triguboff said he is putting his Gold Coast wallet away for the time being and had no plans for more buys.

Sekisui House&nbsp;Australia has revealed plans for its final stage of its successful Norwest masterplanned community, The Orchards.

The fifth and final stage, to be decided by the Sydney Central City Planning Panel, will bring the final 209 apartments to the 8.1-hectare precinct at 104 Fairway Drive, strategically located on the edge of the new Norwest Business Park and the Castle Hill Country Club.

The application is for three more buildings, to add to the 1,100 residences either already delivered or under construction. A 12-level and nine-level building, designed by <a href="/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>, will home the apartments, while the third building will feature the communal amenity.

The design draws inspiration from natural forms, with the primary building mass resembling an eroded stone structure, featuring apertures and openings that optimise daylight, views, and connectivity with the surrounding landscape.

<img alt="Sekisui Final Stage of The Orchards" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ee73e473-eb26-42d6-ae03-aaa901f14eb7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/The%20Orchards%20Stage%205%20pers%20a.png?VersionId=HXEeR5mpLwTcGsNM7YF7JgMdNSadV7Su" />

The unit designs within the development vary to maximise the benefits of the site’s unique context. The western tower apartments are designed to capture northern sunlight while minimising exposure to the western sun, thanks to the strategic placement of balconies.&nbsp;

The breezeway units offer natural ventilation and northern aspect views, while the palace units are designed with two-bedroom wings and a large central living area that opens out towards the creek to take in the northeastern views.

&nbsp;

<img alt="Sekisui Fifth Stage of The Orchards" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3031dcff-23cc-4a97-a170-c3617152db76" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/The%20Orchards%20Stage%205%20pers.png?VersionId=jvvRD714M3DvSuq83dfF_167LCYVRX0K" />

As the westernmost marker within The Orchards, the proposed buildings are designed to create a gateway element that reflects the thematic principles of the broader master plan.&nbsp;

Residents will have access to a ground floor communal courtyard, characterised by expansive lawns that allow for flexible use to accommodate large groups and smaller gatherings.&nbsp;

A communal lagoon pool with dining facilities will enhance the amenities available to residents of the precinct.

Sustainability is also a key consideration in the development, with measures including electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the basement, bioswales within the landscaped area, photovoltaic panels on the roof, and the retention of existing trees.

As Fortis prepares to take the wraps of its new Rose Bay apartment project Atlas, the luxury apartment developer is plotting another in the same suburb.

Earlier this year <a href="/developers/fortis">Fortis</a>, the development arm of financier and investment manager Pallas Group, snapped up a prime <a href="/new-apartments/10-12-ian-street-rose-bay">double site on Ian Street</a>, just two rows back from <a href="/developments/rose-bay-nsw-2029">Rose Bay</a> Beach.

They're planning a $16.5 million development, continuing their push into supplying new apartments to downsizers in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. There is just one two-bedroom apartment planned and 11 three-bedroom apartments across the low-rise, five-level building designed by <a href="/architects/mhn-design-union">MHN Design Union</a>.

<img alt="Rose Bay" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="150ea1c8-2dee-4ef6-a19b-ae6144d2bff1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-08-19%20at%2010.07.53%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=CmFYfY66JlU5Si1O7sL2At2deQgcLIFW" />

Dickson Rothschild prepared an Urban Design Study for the sloping 2,038 sqm site that is a short walk from the beach, the Rose Bay Ferry Wharf, and Rose Bay village.

&nbsp;

They said the&nbsp;predominant pattern of development in this residential area book ended by New South Head Road and Old South Head Road is a transition from lower density single dwellings to medium density residential flat buildings.

"The report demonstrates that given the site’s accessible location and both the existing and emerging pattern of development in the area, that a residential flat building is appropriate for the site.

"The design of the building has responded to the site orientation, context and topography to provide generally north-west facing units, which maximise amenity to balconies and living/dining spaces, as well as views. The proposed development is considered consistent with the desired future character of the area and is supported from an urban design perspective."

The three-bedroom apartments start from 130 sqm of internal space and range in size up to 202 sqm, not including the balcony that opens off the open plan kitchen, living and dining area. The roofop penthouse features a significant rooftop terrace with outdoor kitchen.

&nbsp;

Erskineville's Ashmore precinct is set for more apartments with five more buildings pitched for the area between Sydney Park and Erskineville Station.

The little known Brightwell Real Estate has submitted plans to the City of Sydney Council for a $124 development across&nbsp;7-19 Coulson Street, 5 Goddard Street, and 23 Eve Street. Together they add up to 7,747 sqm, in the south east corner of the Ashmore precinct that has seen development from Greenland and Coronation Property in recent years.

The precinct has been under development for the past decade and has become a well-established residential neighbourhood known for its vibrant community atmosphere, supported by various cafes, boutique shops, schools, and local markets.

As part of the ongoing development within the Ashmore precinct, Brightwell Real Estate’s project aims to contribute to the established high-quality residential neighbourhood, further enhancing the public domain and landscape character of the area.<img alt="Ashmore" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7d03cbe3-bde7-4444-a5f8-a185cac6d4bc" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-08-15%20at%207.23.13%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=XcqkOa5g_7DiRoYMPjUBg.IWgrWdXAgN" />

The proposed development will comprise 135 apartments, a mix of 35 one-bedroom, 81 two-bedroom, and 20 three-bedroom apartments.

In addition to the residential component, the proposal includes the adaptive reuse of an existing heritage item for commercial purposes, as well as indicative roads and public open space to serve the new community.

A competitive design process is yet to be held, however submissions so far have come from SJB and&nbsp;<a href="/architects/dko-architecture">DKO Architecture</a>.

The project will&nbsp;align with current environmental standards, targeting an ecologically sustainable footprint.&nbsp;It will meet the newly legislated BASIX benchmarks, incorporate a fossil-fuel-free design, and implement various sustainability initiatives, including biophilic design and Heat Island Mitigation measures.

Leading Sydney construction and development company <a href="/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a>&nbsp;has spent the last six weeks filing development applications across Sydney, totalling well over 1,500 apartments.

In July they submitted plans in Zetland and Five Dock for two precinct-style developments. Their latest proposal is in&nbsp;<a href="/developments/macquarie-park-nsw-2113">Macquarie Park</a>&nbsp;where they're planning a 17-level tower which will support&nbsp;the NSW Government’s vision to deliver more housing close to the Northwest Metro line. &nbsp;

Designed by the award-winning architectural practice <a href="/architects/dko-architecture">DKO</a>, the 180-apartment tower will include affordable housing and be located 300 metres from the Macquarie Park Metro rail station and Macquarie Park Shopping Centre. &nbsp;

Deicorp’s Chairman Fouad Deiri said delivering homes connected to key transport infrastructure like the Northwest Metro ensures convenience and value for our purchasers. &nbsp;

“Being able to provide housing that is affordable for essential workers in such a great location makes this project even more important.&nbsp;

“Building beautifully designed new apartments convenient to great amenities is how we are &nbsp;helping to respond to the urgent need for new homes.”&nbsp;

The application for the proposed redevelopment of 161 Herring Road and 13-15 Lachlan Avenue Macquarie Park, which will include a mix of one, two and three-bedroom units, has been lodged with the NSW Department of Planning as a State Significant Development. &nbsp;

The proposed development will include 27 affordable housing units that will be managed by a registered community housing provider. &nbsp;

The proposed building will include a rooftop garden and lookout space, upgrades to the surrounding streetscape and outdoor communal spaces. In addition to environmentally significant trees being retained on the site as part of the proposed development, a further 58 trees were planted on the site to provide more tree canopy coverage. &nbsp;

The planned development, which will include recycled water, onsite solar energy generation and energy efficient design, will aim for an industry-leading 7-star average rating under the &nbsp;Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS).&nbsp;

Deicorp submitted plans for two mixed-use precincts in July. The first application was in Zetland where they're proposing a nine-building precinct on a&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/130-joynton-avenue-zetland">2.86-hectare Joynton Avenue site</a>, the former AusGrid facility they secured two years ago.

<a href="/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen Group</a>&nbsp;Chief Operating Officer Joe Tack said the regeneration of the Putney Wharf Residences precinct is an important restoration project for the community, having been&nbsp;disused and closed to the public for several decades.

"With such a rich history having been the home to Sydney’s most successful and prolific boat building business established in 1939 by the Halvorsen family, we feel a sense of pride in restoring, preserving and celebrating a significant piece of Sydney’s boating history.&nbsp;

"This is a unique opportunity to revitalise, restore and breathe new life into a significant waterfront parcel of land, delivering a premium lifestyle-oriented wharf precinct within which all of Sydney will want to live, dine, entertain and socialise, and we’re delighted to be partnering with PERIFA to bring this new precinct to life.”

With development approval now received, construction is due to commence imminently with the project expected to be completed by 2027.

Set to transform the historic Halvorsen Boat Building facility into luxury homes and restaurants

Abadeen and PERIFA greenlit to develop Putney Wharf Residences

Canberra's inner city suburb of Deakin is set for one of its most luxury apartment developments to date.

Plans have been filed for a mixed-use development including 53 apartments, a day spa, a club lounge, and a public art gallery at 38 Grey Street, Deakin, next to Canberra Girls Grammar School.

The site had previously been occupied by the Margaret Dimoff Art Gallery, and had been subject to a development application for a 102-bed aged care development in 2017.

The new plans, linked to an unknown developer with a registered address in Melbourne, align more closely with the site's proximity to Parliament.

The development has been called Embassy Residences in the application and will span six levels.

&nbsp;

The apartment sizes are generous, starting from 160 sqm and ranging up to 600 sqm. There will be two, three and four-bedroom apartments on offer.

Designed by <a href="/architects/hugh-gordon-architects">Hugh Gordon Architects</a>, the building's orientation, form, and scale have been planned to enhance residential amenity while complementing the area's emerging built form.

Embassy Residences' design incorporates features such as physical stepping, architectural elements, balconies, and shading structures to create visual interest and differentiation from neighbouring properties and maintain privacy.

The building's façade will utilise a mix of face bricks, matt monument black, off-white render arches, and brushed brass balustrades, chosen for both aesthetic appeal and ease of maintenance.
