[smartcode_project:default project_id=108399 project_image_fid=230361]

Habitat, who are currently building <a href="/buildings/the-corso-maroochydore-20-south-sea-islander-way-maroochydore">The Corso in Maroochydore</a>, will start construction on St Clair in the first quarter of 2024.

A 25-metre resort-style lap pool is on the ground level, featuring a five-metre shallow wading entry adjacent to a BBQ pavilion. A residents' 16-seat dining room with a private outdoor terrace complements the pool for social gatherings.&nbsp;

There's 1,000 sqm of exclusive resident parklands with barbecue facilities and a firepit area.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108399 project_image_fid=230355]

Crowning St Clair is a communal rooftop terrace enveloped by lush subtropical landscaping with an outdoor kitchen and BBQ facilities. The rooftop deck faces Bokarina Beach towards the east, while the lounge overlooks the hinterland to the west.

Additional amenities and services include an outdoor beach shower, dog wash facilities, parcel locker storage, and professional property management.

Stockland has released what will be one of the final residential stages in their $590 million Stockland Newport masterplan on the Redcliffe Peninsula, north of Brisbane.

The newest stage, Lake Residences, is one of the most impressive yet. Just 15 waterfront townhouses run along the water, where future residents will have direct access to their own private marina berth.

The Lake Residences are already under construction by top tier builder McNab, who have already completed the framework and are soon to have the roofs all installed. They're targeting a completion date of mid-2024.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107206 project_image_fid=224781]

The two and three-level townhouses have been designed by Hollindale Mainwaring Architecture.&nbsp;

The kitchen features integrated SMEG appliances, a butlers pantry and a striking curved bench. That flows to the open plan living and dining area, which connects with an alfresco terrace. Some homes have a bar with wine storage adjoining their kitchen, and a full outdoor kitchen on the alfresco terrace.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107206 project_image_fid=224784]

The living area is cleverly positioned both to take in waterviews and take in maximum natural light, with large windows looking out to the lake and a double-storey void with skylight bringing in light from above.

There's even a plunge pool and an outdoor shower in the landscaped courtyard garden which is located privately near the access to the marina berth.

There has been interest from younger downsizers who are wanting a boatie lifestyle without the maintenance, or the cost, of a waterfront home. There's direct access from the lake to Moreton Bay.

Around 30 per cent of enquiries have come from New South Wales and Victoria, primarily due to the comparative affordability of living lakeside in Newport QLD versus the cost in Sydney and Melbourne.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107206 project_image_fid=224783]

Stockland filled in the lake in 2018, with some&nbsp;one and a half billion litres of sea water flowed into the lake. It took three years to build&nbsp;the 14-metre deep non-tidal lake, which is the centrepiece of the $590 million masterplan.

The Lake Residences occupy one of the most exclusive pockets in the 143-hectare masterplan which Stockland acquired in 2015.

They're located next to Lakeview Park on Aqua Street, just a short walk down Lakeview Promenade to the recently opened Newport Market Place which has a number of restaurants and cafes as well as an IGA, medical centre, and beauty specialist stores.

Coming out of Lakeview Promenade and heading the other way, residents will meet the&nbsp;AFL Sports Complex and Nathan Road Wetland Reserve.

Urban Develop has launched Burnley Maltings, a collection of new heritage terraces townhouses which will be developed as an&nbsp;adaptive reuse of the heritage-protected landmark building Barrett &amp; Burston Maltings in Burnley.

Over the years, the landmark building has undergone numerous transformations, evolving from Terry's Burnley Brewery in the late 1800s into the recently vacated Barrett &amp; Burston Maltings.

Today, it stands on the precipice of another remarkable transformation as Burnley Maltings takes centre stage.&nbsp;

<img alt="Burnley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e02681c8-3e84-4e8e-86b8-959dd61ad698" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-14%20at%203.03.22%20pm.png?VersionId=_e1mi2Vb.CkepDkcZuD0eQRQBXr0eQGC" />

Burnley Maltings comprises only 37 two and three-bedroom heritage and contemporary townhouses with a rooftop terrace overlooking uninterrupted views of the Yarra River, the CBD skyline, and glimpses of Melbourne's prestigious mansions along Alexandra Parade, South Yarra, and St Georges Road, Toorak.

The townhouses will surround the iconic Burnley heritage silos and a lush, green courtyard landscaped by the renowned Jack Merlo.

The architectural vision for this project is to acknowledge and celebrate the site's heritage while ushering in a new chapter of its storied existence.

<img alt="Burnley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8cdf47bb-82ee-4cb6-b764-de8abe5d5ce7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-14%20at%203.03.29%20pm.png?VersionId=cgj3P37kiigVboV43MChj8SXwlPpugj." />

Inspired by Burnley's urban, industrial, landscape, and residential heritage, Freadman White Architects integrated the heritage-protected grain silos and iconic facades on Gibdon Street and the Monash Freeway into the new architectural design, artfully modernised with contemporary elements such as large windows and vertical louvres.

Spanning an impressive 3,568 sqm, the Barrett &amp; Co Maltings site is only four kilometres from the CBD, at the centre of inner-city amenities, roads and parks and boasts extensive panoramic views—highly appealing attributes to prospective buyers in the Melbourne market.

<img alt="Burnley" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e4d17258-e1ac-46ec-a3cd-0d90036215bb" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-14%20at%203.03.39%20pm.png?VersionId=Ekfn8fOZHNE1uANwQPeT3opbUobdzPwl" />

Colliers agent Peter Bremner says it's probably one of the largest undeveloped titles in Burnley. It offers impressive views of the CBD skyline from higher levels and provides good panoramic views in all directions.

The Burnley Maltings Display, housed in the old caretaker's quarters, provides a compelling insight into how the project will marry contemporary living with historical preservation. Every aspect, from signage to display items, has been thoughtfully curated to align with strict heritage overlays, ensuring that the rich history of this site is revered and celebrated.

North Sydney is set to welcome a new apartment development with Chinese developer Wu Investments soon to launch&nbsp;Serendipity, a collection of 29 apartments near North Sydney's Northpoint Tower retail hub.

Prices will start from $1.23 million for the one-bedroom apartments with a study at 5 Doohat Avenue. The two-beds, also with a study, are priced from $1,765,000, and the three-bedroom apartments from $3.09 million.

Wu Investments already have a builder appointed,&nbsp;Novati, who will begin construction next year. The four-level building has been designed by&nbsp;Mackenzie Architects International, with interiors by Tesser Arch and landscaping by Conzept Architects.

One of the drawcards of the project is the location, just a 10-minute&nbsp;walk to North Sydney station, Greenwood Plaza, and the North Sydney metro, due to be completed Q2 of 2024.

Ray White Projects Western Sydney Managing Director Mark Bernberg expects high demand for the boutique apartments situated in a quiet street.&nbsp;

"Sitting amongst close distance to medical, school and transport and a short walk to Sydney CBD, Serendipity is a reflection of the strong market we’re seeing for off-the-plan projects," Bernberg says,

Bernberg says buyers are now looking to transact with interest rate hikes all but over.

"There has been a lot of uncertainty surrounding interest rates, with people sitting on their hands and not willing to commit. What we’re starting to see now is confidence in both home buyers and investors as we realise that interest rate hikes are unlikely with the most likely move next year being downward.

"We’re in a unique position with our off the plan project, with North Sydney looking to grow year on year and interest rate rises coming to a stop, investors and home buyers can see strong ROI and positive rental history and high capital growth opportunities.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

North Sydney has seen a sales turnover of 4.4 per cent in the past 12 months, with an annual 10-year compound growth rate at a steady 4.2 per cent and a 3.3 per cent rental yield.

The average person holding their property for 12.2 years shows strong opportunities for investors.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Wu Investments have previously developed in the North Shore before, completing&nbsp;Thirty 8 Albert Avenue, a mix of apartments, a 100-room hotel, and an eye hospital, back in 2015.

Diversified developer Damgar Property Group has launched its latest residential apartment development Rosella, in Melbourne's south-eastern suburb&nbsp;Murrumbeena.

Rosella is a collection of 70 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments starting at $520,000.

The seven-level building, in the heart of&nbsp;Murrumbeena village, includes six commercial tenancies, a communal rooftop terrace and gardens with views of the Melbourne skyline.

Designed by Cera Stribley, Rosellas’ rough-cast concrete, dark terrazzo, and warm copper accents façade with its arched expression, reflects the fluidity of the adjacent underpasses at Hughesdale Station. The interplay of materials and tones masterfully distinguishes the ground-level podium from the tower.

Within the apartments, gracefully curved walls echo the exterior's arched expression. Each unit features a shared, open floor plan from the kitchen to the terrace.&nbsp;

Rosella's Miele-appointed kitchens are the heart of the home, featuring expansive stone surfaces, convex cupboard pulls, and gun-metal tapware.

The bathrooms are simplistic yet ultramodern with their minimalist palette, oversized wall tiles stretching from floor to ceiling, and bespoke joinery providing concealed storage solutions.

Rosella enjoys convenient access to Murrumbeena Park and playground, schools, public transportation, and cuisine restaurants.&nbsp;

Residents can reach Hughesdale Train Station in just one minute and less than half an hour from Melbourne's CBD.

The project is set for completion in September 2025.

Regarded North Shore developer WINIM are preparing to launch their latest residential project, Flo Northbridge.

The luxury development, in the heart of Northbridge, comprises seven oversized townhomes and five spacious apartments opposite Northbridge Shore Playing Fields and just a few hundred metres down the road from Northbridge Plaza and the popular Warners Park.

WINIM, who has over 11 residential and mixed-use developments in the pipeline, has worked with renowned architecture firm Rothelowman to create Flō, which was crafted to bring something different to the undersupplied new development space in Northbridge.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142292 project_image_fid=228446]

Flo embodies two distinctive elements - the spacious townhomes located in a quiet private bushland setting at the rear of the site and the striking apartments spread across four levels at the front.

The three- and four-bedroom townhomes offer large internal living space and some are wrapped in over 100 sqm of landscaped gardens by LandFX, making them feel like freestanding homes. They each have private garage that can accommodate parking for two car and multi-purpose room.

A key focus for&nbsp;<a href="/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>&nbsp;was to let in as much natural light as possible.&nbsp;

Huge stacker doors and windows flank the living areas of the townhomes, opening up to the landscaped outdoors. Natural light also floods through the staircase void, purposefully designed so every aspect of the home can access as much light as possible. Each master bedroom even features its own private balcony.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142292 project_image_fid=228506]

While each townhome&nbsp;offers a unique floorplan and design,&nbsp;<a href="/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>&nbsp;have kept the same level of luxury across each townhome.

They all feature an internal lift with access to all floors, future-proofing for generations to come. Marble stone and high end finishes have been extensively used in the kitchens and bathrooms, contrasted with bronze tapware and handles.

Rothelowman Sydney Principal Ben Pomroy says they tried to contrast the two distinct elements of the development.

“With the townhomes, we emulated the classic outline of a house with a clear pitched roof,” Pomroy says.

“This led to the idea of a private laneway that connects the homes – an internal, landscaped mews under which the garages sit. This layout meant we could balance privacy and solar impact, and create this real sense of seclusion.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142292 project_image_fid=228507]

Pomroy said in contrast, the vision for the apartment building was for it to be more striking and contemporary.

“It’s a crisp, modern form that’s grounded in a masonry base that’s quite identifiable from the street. As you ascend, you get great views to the East, and each apartment has its own oversized balcony.

There are luxury two- and three-bedroom apartments on offer, and a single four-bedroom penthouse in the four-level apartment building which is located at the front of the site featuring sweeping district views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142292 project_image_fid=228501]

Purchasers will have the opportunity to craft their own space, with two colour palettes on offer. The Sault scheme acts as a tribute to the serenity of the natural setting, while Melan is a harmonic blend of Flō's urban heritage within its modern canvas.

LandFX have also designed a quiet, tucked away communal seating area with a pergola, created to encourage a small community among the future residents of both the apartments and the townhomes.

“The overarching theme was to create a diverse mix of bespoke homes – from two-bedroom apartments to penthouses and large townhomes – which all offered a similar sense of privacy and seclusion,” Pomroy added.

“You’re in a community, but you have your own private space.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142292 project_image_fid=228508]

Atlas selling agent Michael Coombs says Flō is a standout offering, redefining Northbridge living.

“The townhomes feature private internal lifts, perfect for downsizers, along with top-of-the-line Sub-Zero and Wolf Appliances," Coombs says.

"Combined with a level of high-quality finishes and attention to detail, Flo is a unique opportunity to secure an unprecedented standard of living in Northbridge.”

WINIM was founded by joint managing directors Justin Kuiters and Josh Leahy in 2010. Their recent work has seen them take to adaptive re-use projects. Two of their next projects will see original blocks of flats in Cremorne and Neutral Bay, dating back to the early 1900s, restored and extended to bring a contemporary spin without losing the character of the North Shore suburbs.
