GURNERTM has unveiled the next project to sit under its Boutique portfolio, the $40m Cambridge Place collection in <a href="/developments/collingwood-vic-3066">Collingwood</a>.

<a href="/new-apartments/cambridge-place-2-12-cambridge-street-collingwood">Cambridge Place</a> will deliver six apartments, described as "mansion apartment living", with the design by longtime <a href="/developers/gurner">Gurner</a> collaborator <a href="/architects/warren-and-mahoney">Warren and Mahoney</a> inspired by Milan's world-renowned architecture hotels.

Residents of the half or whole-floor apartments will be welcomed home by a grand secure entrance, reminiscent of the most opulent residences of Milan, with characteristic mosaic tiling, a custom chandelier and sweeping curved staircase.

Cambridge Place interiors have been optimised so the residences open onto enlarged landscaped terraces, while the penthouse apartment features a wrap-around garden terrace with a verdant oasis, curated to offer a hidden sanctuary of green tranquillity.

The upper floor at Cambridge Place will be one of Melbourne's finest penthouses.

This two-story penthouse with a near 250 sqm terrace garden includes a wellness room, sculptural internal staircase and a private lift, as well as an expansive master suite with a dressing room and ensuite, opening to the outdoor.

GURNERTM's Boutique collection will offer access to GURNERTM’s own in-house design director Simon Brugaletta, who brings nearly two decades of experience to the team. Brugaletta has worked for practices all over the world including Milan, Malta and Hangzhou, China.

It was Simon’s decade of living and working in Milan that underpinned his adoration of the sophistication, style and craftsmanship of Milan’s world-famous Palazzo Parigi hotel – meaning that when Tim Gurner came asking for a hotel recommendation, Brugaletta knew just where to send him.

<img alt="Cambridge" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a8c9fb4b-0f73-42df-9c2a-cac9e9c35df2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-02-09%20at%201.55.11%20pm_0.png?VersionId=.5BoAIoy4Cvg2vzw7mD2AMOpI4w5Spz2" />

Residents of Cambridge Place will also enjoy exclusive access to the nearby members-only Saint Haven private club, where memberships are not only sold out but oversubscribed. As part of Gurner Group's exclusive club, members can indulge in the latest science-backed wellness, anti-aging, and holistic treatments, further enhancing the lifestyle offered by Cambridge Place.

Prices at Cambridge Place will range between $3.15 million and $10.75 million. Apartments start from 210 sqm.

Brugaletta said Cambridge Place has been designed to be timeless and sophisticated, with architecture that will complement the surrounding area as it stands today, and the Cambridge Street that will evolve over the decades.

“I lived and worked in Milan for almost a decade, so when Tim came to me and asked for a hotel recommendation for his trip I knew that he would fall in love with the style and elegance of the Palazzo Parigi – which is one of my favourite places in the city," Brugaletta said.

“From its grand entrance, custom chandelier and spiral staircase right through to its Italian stone, marble-wrapped spaces and exquisite joinery, every detail at Cambridge Place has been carefully considered to deliver the timeless elegance of Europe’s most beautiful cities."

<img alt="Gurner" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a921aed8-0996-413a-9e2f-658058a1c0ba" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-02-09%20at%202.14.38%20pm.png?VersionId=YumHtrCWNWZIUcssOa9mOkTE_GFy1k6L" />

Tim Gurner says when he visited&nbsp;Milan, the Palazzo Parigi sparked incredible inspiration.

"I am really looking forward to bringing some of its grand features and old-world-charm to Cambridge Street," Gurner said.

“Our clients love the Collingwood lifestyle, they love the walkability to Melbourne’s best restaurants and gardens, but want the opulence and grandeur of a grand eastern-suburbs home. We have crafted Cambridge Place to create the best of both worlds."

Prices at Cambridge Place will range between $3.15 million and $10.75 million. Apartments start from 210 sqm.

GURNER to launch VIP campaign for luxury Collingwood apartment development, Cambridge Place

The first stage of Willoughby Grounds, a community-style project with unique architecture reflecting the industrial history of Sydney’s lower North Shore, has hit the market.

<a href="/new-apartments/willoughby-grounds-5-walter-street-willoughby">Willoughby Grounds</a>, which is being developed by First Quadrant Properties along with funding partner <a href="/developers/qualitas">Qualitas</a>, comprises five distinct buildings, each with their own architectural style and interior design.&nbsp;

Just 164 apartments will be spread across the five buildings designed by Mo Chehelnabi from Architecture Urbaneia, with only 30 to 35 units in each.

“When designing Willoughby Grounds we wanted to foster a sense of community by giving a nod to the past and you’ll see each of the residential buildings with its own unique design style,” says Adam Reeves, Director of Sales and Marketing at <a href="/developers/first-quadrant-properties">First Quadrant Properties</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135512 project_image_fid=251209]

"Whilst the project has 164 apartments in total&nbsp;the individual buildings each contains 30-35 units meaning good separation with most apartments having dual aspects to maximise natural light and ventilation," Reeves says.

“People want to know their neighbours these days and feel like they’re part of their own community."

Each building contains design features that recognise the unique industries that used to exist in the Willoughby area; tanneries, pottery, blacksmiths, logging and brickworks.&nbsp;The design brief was to allow the multi-layered architecture and flourishing natural landscape work in unison to create a sense of serenity and connection to place.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135512 project_image_fid=251210]

Face brickwork, metal cladding and concrete framing interacts with the surrounding greenery and inclusion of jacaranda trees - for which the lower North Shore is famous for.

<a href="/architects/dko-architecture">DKO</a> has handled the interiors of the apartments which feature&nbsp;European oak floors, stone and marble benchtops, Miele or Gaggenau appliances, Parisi tapware and integrated fridges.

“We wanted to build a residence that actually enhanced the neighbourhood around it,” Reeves added.

“It’s quite different to the singular, imposing structures that dominate much of the Sydney residential landscape at the moment.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135512 project_image_fid=251214]

The first stage of the project features the release of apartments in the Fleming building which is designed to reflect the tanneries from the 1800s.

For nearly 90 years Willoughby was known for its tanneries with as many as 15 tanning pits operating at the one time.

The development is expected to appeal to a wide range of buyers due to its floorplans of up to 173 sqm. There are some large four bedroom apartments on offer, as well as three-bedroom apartments with three aspects. Some of the larger apartments have the unique feature of sharing no common walls.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135512 project_image_fid=251213]

Ray White's Director of Projects and Developments Tim Abbott says there's not often this type of product on the market.&nbsp;

“We don’t often see 4 bedroom units available on the lower North Shore and I think there will be strong interest from families and downsizers for these,” Abbott says.

“The kids playground in the common area will be a real attraction to families who&nbsp;will see the larger apartments as an alternative to buying a house in the area given the convenience of living so close to the CBD, without being in a high-rise development.

&nbsp;“With so many parks, gyms, cafes and other amenities in the immediate local areas of <a href="/new-apartments/willoughby-nsw-2068">Willoughby</a>, <a href="/new-apartments/northbridge-nsw-2063">Northbridge</a> &amp; <a href="/new-apartments/crows-nest-nsw-2065">Crows Nest</a>, the project has been designed to ensure the strata fees are low which will appeal to both owners occupiers and investors too."

First Quadrant has the iCIRT-rated builder DASCO currently constructing the project. The first&nbsp;apartments will be ready later this year, and the rest by mid-2025.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=135512]

The first stage of the project features the release of apartments in the Fleming building which is designed to reflect the tanneries from the 1800s.

Willoughby Grounds launches, merging architecture and history in Sydney's lower North Shore

Brisbane builder developer Carbone Developments has launched its latest apartment project, Parque.

Parque Mitchelton, in Brisbane's north-west, will home 60 one and two-bedroom apartments at&nbsp;3 McConaghy Street, a literal stones throw from <a href="/new-apartments/mitchelton-qld-4053">Mitchelton</a> Station.

With the backdrop of Osborne Road Park, <a href="/new-apartments/parque-mitchelton-3-mcconaghy-street-mitchelton">Parque Mitchelton</a>&nbsp;presents one of the rarest opportunities to buy off the plan in an area starved of new apartment supply.

Starting from $450,000, many of Parque Mitchelton's apartments feature leafy park views, providing a peaceful retreat within the heart of the city.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140363 project_image_fid=250242]

The apartments have been designed by Red Door Architecture to make the most of Brisbane's tropical climate, with the open plan kitchen, living and dining areas opening onto balconies.

Buyers will have the opportunity to choose a custom upgrade package as part of their purchase if they buy before or during the construction phase.

The project features a swimming pool and a gym, as well as a sun deck with barbecue facilities and park views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140363 project_image_fid=250238]

Slated for completion in July 2025, Parque Michelton's location is one of the stand out features of the project.

It's located a stones throw away from the Michelton Station which is 20-minutes from Brisbane's Roma Street Station.

Not many projects have the convenience of a train station 35 metres away as well as being on a park. Parque Michelton is aptly named for sitting on Osborne Road Park, a 6,100 sqm park with a children's playground and large grassed areas.

Parque Michelton is also within close proximity to a number of cafes, restaurants and shopping centres.<img alt="Parque" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3c634b32-73c2-4f7d-a0e6-f99463dee1c8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-02-01%20at%204.01.48%20pm.png?VersionId=odwws9PNbVHvvP7gh9yi9iVuWHq_4aDJ" />

Carbone launch Parque, Mitchelton apartment development

Busy Brisbane developer Pradella has kicked off its new pipeline for 2024, launching Jardinia, their first residential apartment development in Yeronga.

Jardinia, Spanish for garden, comprises 87 one, two, three, and four-bedroom residences across a five-level building at 26-36 Shottery Street, near&nbsp;<a href="/developments/yeronga-qld-4104">Yeronga</a>&nbsp;Station and the amenity of Fairfield Road.

Designed by <a href="/architects/wiltshire-stevens-architecture">Wiltshire Stevens</a>, Jardinia offers carefully crafted apartments that go beyond their walls, featuring a living green façade that connects with the surrounding environment.

Upon entering the apartments, residents are greeted with a private entry foyer that leads to open-plan living spaces seamlessly extending to extensive terraces, creating an effortless sense of connectivity and airiness.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=137221 project_image_fid=249212]

The kitchens are well-equipped with SMEG appliances and feature stone countertops and an island fitted with a sink.

The spacious master suites include large walk-in robes and feature ensuites with dual vanities, a freestanding bathtub, and a separate shower. Other bedrooms provide built-in robes and convenient access to the main bathroom.&nbsp;

Some of the larger apartments offer a multi-purpose room which is expected to be utilised as either an extra bedroom, home office, or a media room.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=137221 project_image_fid=249209]

Jardinia offers residents the choice of two contemporary colour schemes.

The rooftop terrace at Jardinia draws inspiration from the riad gardens of palaces in distant lands, featuring lush greenery, a resort-style pool, sunbeds, and entertaining areas.

Health and well-being are also a priority, with amenities such as a multi-purpose media room and a well-equipped gym.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=137221 project_image_fid=249210]

Jardinia takes pride in incorporating EnviroDevelopment elements, achieving a 5-leaf certification from the UDIA EnvironDevelopment.

Position Property are marketing apartments at <a href="/new-apartments/jardinia-yeronga-26-36-shottery-street-yeronga-qld-4104">Jardinia</a>, with prices start at $559,000.

<a href="/developers/pradella">Pradella</a>, led by Kim Pradella, has been developing in Brisbane's inner-ring since being founded in 1956. They're well known for their $1 billion Montague Markets precinct in West End.

Last year they <a href="/news/qld/pradella-secure-their-next-brisbane-apartment-development">secured a prime site in Toowong for another project</a> which they're expected to file a development application for this year.

The first cab off Deicorp's long pipeline of projects will be Cosmopolitan, their $560 million, twin-tower development in Parramatta.

The project, approved late last year at&nbsp;34 Hassall Street, <a href="/new-apartments/parramatta-nsw">Parramatta</a>, will comprise 600 one, two and three-bedroom apartments in two 45-level towers, above a new retail village hub.

&nbsp;

<a href="/architects/turner-studio">Turner Studio</a> has handled the design of the towers following an extensive design competition. &nbsp;

The innovative design incorporates a raised podium that links the two towers. The first three podiums, collectively named ‘Gully Forest,’ will feature a landscaped sanctuary adorned with lush greenery, alongside smaller breakout and seating spaces, a distinctive outdoor kitchen, and garden pavilions.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138590 project_image_fid=236117]

The ground floor podium is strategically designed to provide extensive retail and hospitality frontages for commercial tenants, activating the entire precinct.

On the second level of the podium, an open-air community space will be home to barbecue facilities and smaller group gathering areas.&nbsp;Above will feature flexible workplace tenancies, as well as spaces designated for a fitness centre and medical practice.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138590 project_image_fid=236119]

The building is conceived to evoke a garden-like atmosphere, providing a park-like experience for both visitors and residents. This nature-centric theme extends into the apartments, offering district views of nearby attractions such as the river and parkland.

"Minimising unhelpful sight lines and increasing solar and views has been a key consideration in the design of the towers," Turner noted in their design statement.&nbsp;

"Apartment placement and the facade have been designed to allow for at least 24m of visual privacy between the towers, even whilst maintaining an 18-metre building separation. The tower forms maximise and share these views for all the residents."

The apartments themselves are characterised by their spacious, bright, and airy interiors, featuring floor-to-ceiling glazing and doors.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138590 project_image_fid=236118]

The open floor plan seamlessly connects the kitchen, living, and dining areas, leading to a balcony with panoramic city views that enhance with each ascending floor.

The galley kitchen is well-equipped with built-in cabinetry and an island bar setup for multi-purpose use.

Bathrooms showcase floor-to-wall tiles, bathtubs, and waterfall showers, incorporating wood and stone themes for a modern yet warm ambience.

Situated on the park-side edge of Parramatta’s CBD and in proximity to the new Parramatta Light Rail stop, Cosmopolitan ensures easy connections to key destinations for its future residents.

<a href="/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a>&nbsp;has a significant pipeline of new projects, with upcoming developments in <a href="/developments/rhodes-nsw-2138">Rhodes</a>, <a href="/developments/crows-nest-nsw-2065">Crows Nest</a> and <a href="/developments/melrose-park-nsw-2114">Melrose Park</a> expected to launch in the next 18 months.

Luxury North Shore developer WINIM is soon to launch its new $42 million Cremorne apartment development,&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/huntington-cremorne-13-15-allister-street-cremorne">Huntington Residences</a>.

The luxury development at 13-15 Allister Street has been designed by Rothelowman who was inspired by Cremorne's natural beauty.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143528 project_image_fid=253689]

The design of the rounded shapes of the facade, which impact the interior aesthetic, was influenced by Cremorne's&nbsp;Robertsons Point Lighthouse, echoing a connection to the area's rich history.

The boutique development incorporates the 1937 building designed by Clifford Finch, which is not heritage listed but has heritage significance. The 13&nbsp;one, two and three-bedroom apartments will be spread across the restored original building and a new adjoining contemporary building.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143528 project_image_fid=253694]

Huntington is the latest in WINIM's pursuit of adaptive reuse projects. They have a restoration and extension project of a <a href="/news/nsw/winim-to-redevelop-1905-neutral-bay-building-into-luxury-apartments--114126">1905 block at 112-114 Wycombe Road</a> in <a href="/developments/neutral-bay-nsw-2089">Neutral Bay</a>, and the restoration and extension of Kirribilli's 1907 Glenferrie Lodge.

Speaking with <a href="/developers/winim">WINIM</a>&nbsp;Joint Managing Director Justin Kuiters in 2022, <a href="/news/nsw/why-winim-doubled-down-on-the-boutique-north-shore-market">he explained that adaptive reuse involves a different approach to development</a>, preserving much of the architectural heritage that has defined the suburb for decades.

"We've secured a number of sites which aren't heritage-listed, but due to their striking street frontage, and unique character from a bygone era, just like council, we are wanting to come up with a clever and creative way of bringing these grand building's into the 21st century," Kuiters said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143528 project_image_fid=253690]

"The community and council are favouring adaptive reuse and architectural detailing that complements the street.

"They're more challenging, but you come out with a more bespoke, unique product, catering for two types of buyers, those who are keen on the historical features (cornicing, high ceilings, brickwork etc) , and those who want the more contemporary finishes."

Huntington will be WINIM's second launch in as many months following their late <a href="/news/nsw/winim-launch-luxury-northbridge-development-fl">2023 launch of Flo Northbridge</a>, just seven apartments and five townhomes opposite Northbridge Shore Playing Fields.&nbsp;

Melbourne property developer MunCorp has released a pre-launch opportunity for its upcoming townhouse development, Blackburn Quarter.

Blackburn Quarter boasts a collection of 39 townhouses at 3 Whitehorse Road, Blackburn, available in three and four-bedroom configurations and starting at $999,000.

MunCorp collaborated with the leading architectural and interior design firm&nbsp;<a href="/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>&nbsp;to design each residence with contemporary and natural fusion and a harmonious balance of aesthetics and functionality.

<img alt="Blackburn Quarter Pre-launch" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="66389fa7-30d8-481f-9287-1cf9fba26f1c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Blackburn%20Quarter%20Bedroom.png?VersionId=f.qCoLY7KexO1rCjCLPqSml42ytHW1KI" />

One of the standout features of Blackburn Quarter is the emphasis on outdoor living. Each townhome comes with amazing outdoor spaces that are both secluded and private, surrounded by deep plantings, manicured lawns, and meticulously paved areas.&nbsp;

The courtyards have been carefully styled to seamlessly integrate with the interior, providing a natural extension of the home – perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying moments of quiet relaxation.

<img alt="Blackburn Quarter Pre-launch" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="de87d88b-466f-4c62-bfe5-66e82070e18f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Blackburn%20Quarter%20outdoor.png?VersionId=Ygivt4U7RYUu3HUIXOBAx0JQ06jqj25u" />

Prominent ACT property developer <a href="/developers/geocon-group">Geocon Group</a> is soon to launch its latest residential project, on the fringe of Canberra's famous City Hill.

The new $250 million mixed-use project,&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/the-grande-on-london-70-allara-street-canberra">The Grande on London</a>&nbsp;bordering Allara Street and London Circuit, will deliver three buildings designed by&nbsp;<a href="/architects/fk-australia">Fender Katsalidis</a>&nbsp;with 332 apartments above commercial space.

Each apartment features floor-to-ceiling windows, SMEG kitchen appliances, brushed nickel tapware and full-height bathroom tiling.

<img alt="The Grande Canberra Launch" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c079988e-4645-4a96-9414-e9c349ddc3f7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/The%20Grande%20Living.png?VersionId=v0hbn8uKjp0BcKUj3JkDR1dxZZXXU0MS" />

The project follows Geocon's successful acquisition of the leasehold of the 7,640 sqm site from the Federal Government in May 2020, signalling a significant step in the revitalization of the former Werriwa Defence Facility.

The ground level is designated for commercial use, and the project includes features such as a landscaped plaza, communal gardens, and deep-rooted trees to enhance the connection between London Circuit and Allara Street.

<img alt="The Grande Canberra Launch" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c57a7bf0-2fb4-4ea5-9039-941a58ff190a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/The%20Grande%20Bedroom.png?VersionId=gfmucjh3DOzoXGAhrMlx8P7X6thc.7bb" />

Residents-only amenities include a co-working space, rooftop pool and pavilion, fitness centre and yoga studio, library, cinema, dog wash and bike storage.

The development is positioned as a rare opportunity to purchase a new apartment in Canberra's city centre, with the location being close to the lake, theatre precinct, shops, restaurants, and the light rail.&nbsp;

Strategically positioned near Commonwealth Avenue and within a burgeoning growth corridor, The Grande on London also enjoys proximity to key government offices including the Department of Home Affairs, Murray Darling Basin Authority, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and the ACT Government.&nbsp;

<img alt="The Grande Canberra Launch" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="493b284e-61fa-4359-a101-902aeb8907e6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/The%20Grande%20pool.png?VersionId=OIUT.fMa3t1gfTfvo1MD_YC.REvPPLOx" />

The project is intended to cater to both live-in owner-occupiers and investors, addressing a potential housing shortage in the city centre.

Geocon, led by managing director&nbsp;Nick Georgalis, has three others projects on the go. Their latest, WOVA in Woden, is set to be completed later this year.

SKF Development has been inundated with enquiries for its latest residential land release, Sceniq Bilambil Heights, with over 800 enquirers vying for the first 30 homesites planned for the $59 million project.

The Brisbane-based developer opened the floodgates to pent-up demand for the highly- anticipated project just before Christmas, recording close to 850 enquiries in the first month for the 100 lot planned for the subdivision.

“We’ve never before experienced demand like this for a project,” said Eric Zhao, Director of SKF Development.

“Our team received 250 leads from potential buyers on the first day of release, most of whom were Tweed locals. Enquiries and inspections have continued throughout the holiday period.

“The response has affirmed our faith last year in proceeding with Sceniq Bilambil Heights in a market that is severely undersupplied.”

Sceniq Bilambil Heights is planned for a 15.8ha site bounded by Walmsleys Road and Stott Street and is poised to deliver a total of 100 generous, elevated residential homesites with an average size of 1,200sqm - many offering panoramic ocean views.

The masterplan incorporates a community park designed by Urbis Landscape Architects which will be completed with the first stage of homesites.

Several homesites in the first release have already been secured, which is offering 30 homesites priced from $485,000 and an average price of $545,000.

“While the project is oversubscribed with enquiries, our team continues to work through each of the leads to assist buyers to secure their preferred homesite,” said Zhao.

According to research from RPM Group, the population of the greater Bilambil and Bilambil Heights area is expected to grow by 80 per cent to more than 7,000 by 2041. To accommodate this growth, a further 1,299 new dwellings are required to be built, or 72 new homes a year.

“The level of demand we have received reflects the strength of these forecasts,” Zhao added.

Early site works at Sceniq Bilambil Heights are currently under way with 30 lots planned for the first stage and set for completion by Q4 2024. SKF Development plans to enhance the residential amenity of the project through a network of accessible walking paths that intersect at Sceniq Park, so all residents can enjoy an active and connected lifestyle.

Sceniq Bilambil Heights is also located within easy reach of the Terranora Broadwater and Terranora Creek, including the extensive Scenic to Peninsular Drive Cycleway that offers more than 3km of waterside pathways.

The new community will be just 10 minutes’ drive to Coolangatta Beach, and the heart of the southern Gold Coast’s retail and restaurant scene, with the Gold Coast Airport also close to hand just 10 minutes away and the M1 Motorway just six minutes’ drive, providing easy and direct access to a range of employment and lifestyle options.
