Prominent South Sydney developer,&nbsp;<a href="/developers/level-33">Level 33</a>, has launched one of its most boutique apartment developments to date.

The go-to developer in Wollongong has revealed Easterly, directly opposite WIN Stadium at 13 Crown Street, a short walk from the beach.

<a href="/new-apartments/easterly-wollongong-13-crown-street-wollongong">Easterly</a> comprises 21 luxury two and three-bedroom apartments and three penthouses, all designed in collaboration with <a href="/architects/turner-studio">Turner Architects</a>.

Easterly’s design integrates coastal elements with robust structural components, reflecting the nearby ocean and land in both its architecture and interiors.&nbsp;

"Given such an important location so close to the beach, we sought to create residences that maximise your experience of the water, with views from almost every vantage point enhanced by expansive balconies and full-height windows to the eastern façade," Karl May, Managing Director of Turner Architects, said.

"A subtle architectural connection to the ocean plays out in the rounded balconies like stones washed smooth from the waves."

The apartments offer expansive balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows, providing ample natural light and views.

"Distinctions of Easterly’s interior design are evident through a seamless interplay between the carefully curated materiality and depth of detail, crafting thoughtful, bespoke residences," Turner Interiors explained.

The interiors are well-equipped with premium Gaggenau appliances and adorned by stone finishes, bespoke joinery, spa-inspired bathrooms with freestanding baths, and custom wardrobes in the bedrooms.

"Harmonious textures and tones create a unified aesthetic, representing the intricate relationship between the sea, radiant sunshine and qualities of the Illawarra coastline," Turner added.

Residents can choose between two interior palettes, Ripple and Ridge, allowing for personalisation of their living spaces.

A few months after launching their luxury Bondi Beach apartment development Mayfair, developer&nbsp;<a href="/developers/fenbury">Fenbury</a> is set to launch a new project on Pittwater.

They've revealed&nbsp;The Moorings, just eight home lots on&nbsp;Winji Jimmi Bay in <a href="/new-apartments/newport-nsw-2106">Newport</a>. Each has their own private and enclosed marina berth that can accomodate vessels between 25 to 30 metres.

Plans for the homes, across a&nbsp;6,000 sqm site at 122 Crescent Road, are by&nbsp;<a href="/interior-designers/scott-carver">Scott Carver</a>.

Land and marina berth prices start from $5.5 million, with prices for the land, marina berth and custom homes starting from around $9 million subject to size and finish.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<img alt="The Moorings - dock" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c3b1ee87-c261-4070-8a4e-15ede724b688" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Moorings%20dock.jpg?VersionId=Tq0yEUMjDVp6IVJiq8Nt0NTW9H682j5a" />

Domain Projects agent Peter Grant, who is marketing The Moorings, says it represents a rarity in the Australian real estate landscape that truly has the potential to meet buyers’ every need. &nbsp;

“Not often does a buyer have the luxury of creating a beautiful, unique custom-built home with an ongoing concierge service to ensure that every desire is catered for from design through to completion," Grant says.

“Underpinned by <a href="/developers/fenbury">Fenbury</a>, a developer that prides itself on creating and enhancing prestigious property portfolios, The Moorings genuinely provides an all-in-one solution for the most discerning buyers, the privileged few, who are also looking to establish and protect generational wealth.

"This value proposition, &nbsp;blending the ultimate in lifestyle with a future-proof asset is an aspect of the property journey that will appeal to astute buyers who place as much emphasis on the fiscal return as they do the value in living day-to-day in enviable luxury and share the experiences of a wonderful waterfront lifestyle that allows them to set sail from their very own doorstep."&nbsp;&nbsp;

<img alt="The Moorings - living" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="384cc5ae-305d-4536-b863-197194d2729c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Moorings%20interior.jpg?VersionId=NGWf2iUtkW4Bh9iUG0WVx5GeKxa8SJzP" />

Fenbury Founder and Managing Director, Sammy Soliman, says The Moorings is a perfect example of their vision to set their clients and their families up for continued success, in prestigious waterfront locations that are not only highly sought after right now, but so rare that their ongoing value is guaranteed.

"We are providing an end-to-end solution for those purchasers fortunate to be taking the ultimate step in their property journey as they set to focus on a luxurious lifestyle and sacred family time spent in a generational home that fulfils their dreams,” Soliman said. &nbsp;

<img alt="The Moorings - kitchen" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9bcaa0b3-e413-4b1b-af72-961430f36eca" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Moorings%20kitchen.png?VersionId=Y3MDEQ_CvSGWPGuAgkCOnna9DMRfl6u5" />

The configurations of the homes, which will be built with natural materials and stone can be chosen by the buyer but could include up to four bedrooms,&nbsp;a wine cellar, a cinema room, a pool and lift access. &nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<img alt="The Moorings - bathroom" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3f3aecb9-f93b-4edf-b92b-c6467c40296c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Moorings%20bathroom.jpg?VersionId=LypVsF8tBVLVhynvwPJmvdu1iGyhuSEk" />

Director of Scott Carver Architects, Edward Salib, said the essence of The Moorings from a design perspective, lies in Fenbury’s commitment to individuality. &nbsp;

“The homes to be built at The Moorings, pending individual approvals subject to each owner’s personal vision, will ultimately be more than just buildings; but instead, living, breathing embodiments of &nbsp;Pittwater's history and the vision for an enriched, harmonious life. Each home will represent the intersection of where the past meets the future in a celebration of comfort, elegance, and a deep connection to the land and sea,” said Mr Salib. &nbsp;

The key to this remarkable approach lies in the recognition that every home is one of a kind. Each house, in its own way, will become a reflection of the land it graces and the views it beholds.&nbsp;

With planning approvals in place for site works, and lots prepared for immediate construction commencement, expressions of interest are now open for interested parties.

Fenbury’s residential pipeline includes the recently launched <a href="/new-apartments/mayfair-bondi-beach-58-campbell-parade-bondi-beach">Mayfair Bondi Beach</a>, a selection of seven three-bedroom residences on Bondi Beach, as well as Avalon Waterfront, an expansive 8,500 sqm site planned for subdivision into two one-acre lots that will home two luxury residences.

It was a strong April for new apartment developments launching in Melbourne, with buyers offered up six new developments to talk about.

It's still far away from what's required, with both building approvals and completions at record lows, at a time when Melbourne is the fastest-growing city in terms of population.

The last update from the ABS saw Melbourne's population grow 167,500 people in 2022-23, above Sydney's 146,700.

There continues to be a large imbalance between new apartment developments being submitted, approved, and built, against the thousands heading to Melbourne to call it home. The demand is coming to the <a href="/developments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne off the plan apartment market</a>, and supply isn't.

We've wrapped up the six apartment developments that launched across Melbourne in April.

Secret Garden will comprise 22&nbsp;apartments, including luxury penthouse suites, alongside 10 upscale retail and hospitality tenancies on the ground floor. The premium-grade retail space&nbsp;will showcase local talent, including top chefs, designers, and artisans, while bringing some of Australia’s leading brands to the Byron Bay township.

JD Property Group Managing Director and third-generation local, Jason Dunn, said the precinct aims to spotlight what makes Byron Bay uniquely special.

“As a proud local, I am excited to showcase the best of Byron in a world-class, luxury precinct,”&nbsp;Dunn said.

“Every element has been thoughtfully considered and designed. From partners to products, we have aimed to work with our local community at every stage. This includes partnering with a local landscape architect to incorporate natural vegetation in our expansive greenspaces, which account for more than 40% of the precinct’s ground floor area. We have also worked with a local designer to deliver a rustic, coastal, and authentic style emulating the Byron Bay coast and hinterland, not yet seen in residential apartment living.

“Secret Garden is a very different offering to others in the market and has been positively received by our community and stakeholders. We anticipate strong interest from residents and retailers.”

“We are proud to be delivering a sustainable development that offers residents the choice of 100% renewable energy supply,” Dunn added.

“Our market-leading sustainability commitments are a true point of difference for our precinct.

“Sustainable design is a must for us, and we aim to celebrate and nurture our natural environment at every stage of the process. We hope to attract residents and retailers who share these values.”

The three-storey precinct is a collaboration with Australian architect, <a href="/architects/bayley-ward">Bayley Ward</a>, renowned local interior curator Island Luxe, and local landscape architect, LARC.
