The top 16 Sydney off the plan apartment developers to look out for in 2024

We've not seen any slowing down in demand, and with supply levels at significant lows due to the current construction issues, the Gold Coast market has continued to outperform the rest of the country

The top 12 developers to watch out for on the Gold Coast in 2024

<p>The Brisbane off the plan apartment market has proven to be a challenging market in 2023, not through lack of demand, but through lack of supply and choice for buyers.</p>

<p>Projects that have been in market, even without confirmed builders, have been sought-after, while those that either do have build contracts signed and are coming out of they ground, they are a dime a dozen, and almost don't have to do any marketing.</p>

<p>Data from Apartments.com.au shows demand in Brisbane has been consistent throughout the whole of 2023, with so little to choose from. Interestingly traffic from Melbourne hasn't declined at all over the last 12 months.</p>

<p>There are early signs that supply might start to come to the Queensland capital, which will give prospective buyers more choice as well as bridge the gap between the Queensland Government's ambitious target of delivering 34,500 new homes a year to South East Queensland and the current and continued boom in migration.</p>

<p>We've wrapped up the top 10 developers to look out for in Brisbane in 2024, those who are either completing projects, starting construction, or are preparing to launch a new one.</p>

<h3>Sarazin</h3>

<p>Sydney-based developer Sarazin might be one of the busiest developers in the country in 2024. They're no doubt the most prominent developer around the 2032 Olympics precinct, making a play for the Woolloongabba area well before the Olympics announcement.</p>

<p>They were there before the announcement, developing Silk One, literally looking into The Gabba. Their latest tower, Murcia, isn't much further away on Overend Street, 300 metres from the turnstiles. Murcia comprises 187 apartments designed by Rothelowman <a href="/news/qld/hovering-above-the-gabba-sarazin-produce-special-rooftop-at-murcia-residences">with a striking rooftop</a> homing an infinity pool and full wellness centre with&nbsp;heated magnesium plunge pools, a steam room and a sauna.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=135094 project_image_fid=214685]</p>

<p>Within a week in August and September, Sarazin showed their hand of what they're planning for 2024.</p>

<p>First they <a href="/news/qld/first-look-sarazin-scale-up-nuage-woolloongabba-apartment-plans">upsized their plans</a> for their prime 4,057 sqm site across&nbsp;6-18 Wellington Road and 25 Nile Street. The project, Nuage, was initially approved for two 20-level towers with 368 apartments.</p>

<p>However, now reacting to the desperate need for housing in Brisbane, they're seeking to bring 582 apartments across two 37 and 27-level towers.</p>

<p>A week later Sarazin filed plans for Hampton Yards which will bring another 787 apartments to their portfolio.</p>

<p><img alt="Sarazin" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="07456c73-126a-47be-a67c-2e6f7b214825" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-12-04%20at%204.11.11%20pm.png?VersionId=6DAgLbbie5kVWkBB8kaU2JVpbBMAg3id" /><em>The proposed Hampton Yards project: Image supplied</em></p>

<p>The three-tower development 21 Wellington Road, on the opposite side of the street from Nuage, will also feature park upgrades to Watt Park, which will be renamed Whirling Water Park, podium levels with commercial and retail spaces, and a resident rooftop atop each building with an infinity pool, gym, private dining area, barbecue and outdoor dining space, and even a pickle ball court.</p>

<p>Both projects, pending council approval, are expected to launch in late 2024.</p>

<h3>Kokoda Property</h3>

<p>Kokoda Property will be gearing up to launch their game-changing <a href="/news/qld/kokoda-propose-1-5-billion-triple-tower-riverside-development-in-teneriffe">$1.5 billion Tenerrife precinct</a> having submitted approvals for the 17,612 sqm Skyring Terrace riverfront block in October.</p>

<p>They're planning a vibrant residential, retail, food and beverage precinct with towers ranging from 12 to 30 levels. The proposal is for 380 residences,&nbsp;a 9,149 sqm hotel, a large plaza, extended riverwalk and laneways throughout with lively public spaces, and 15 office tenancies totalling 2,400 sqm and 2,800 sqm of retail, cafes, and restaurants.</p>

<p><img alt="Kokoda" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="eff0a9dc-8179-425c-8f17-264616ba92bf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Kokoda.png?VersionId=mhCRv2feIsy9BdhrGpwBRjRygZfbqHM3" /></p>

<p><a href="/developers/kokoda-property" target="">Kokoda Property</a>&nbsp;Founder and Managing Director, Mark Stevens, said that the project aims to provide enhanced design and landscaping that speaks to Brisbane's subtropical biophilic surroundings and Woolstore design intent while providing large, open public spaces.</p>

<p>Pending approvals, they'll seek to launch the project next year, and start construction toward the back end of 2024.</p>

<p>Currently they're selling the penthouses across their completed Brisbane portfolio, Chesrter &amp; Ella and The Ambrose, both in Newstead, as well as recently launching their new apartment development, <a href="/new-apartments/ruby-ruby-milton-12-crombie-street-milton">Ruby Ruby in Milton</a>.</p>

<p>“Brisbane is rapidly transforming into a new world city; its culture, business centre, technology, and lifestyle is evolving with over $40 billion of infrastructure investment planned, so naturally there is a shift occurring with demand now skewed towards sophistication and luxury residential design," Kokoda Property founder Mark Stevens says.</p>

<h3>Pikos Group</h3>

<p>Pikos Group will be busy in 2024 with their second Kangaroo Point project, which they recently had redesigned to create a full acre of parklands in the inner-city.</p>

<p>The revised plans for 108 Lambert Street envisions two 15-level towers with 214 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, stretching between the Brisbane River and Lambert and O’Connell Streets.</p>

<p>Construction is set to commence in 2024, with an estimated completion in mid-2027. Pikos Group is actively engaging with potential builders, with an announcement expected in the coming months.</p>

<p>Pikos will also continue construction work on their $300 million flagship project, Skye by Pikos, on the Kangaroo Cliffs.</p>

<p>The two 13-level buildings, connected by a sky bridge, will comprise 68 luxury apartments on River Terrace, offering never to be built out views over Kangaroo Point and the Brisbane River to the city.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=90059 project_image_fid=218022]</p>

<h3>Gardner Vaughan Group</h3>

<p>The family-run Gardner Vaughan Group have four different developments on the go next year in Brisbane, two completing and two launching.</p>

<p>They'll be finishing Estilo on the Park in Chermside in Brisbane, 122 apartments above four retail spaces, and Stonebrook in Stones Corner, 90-apartments adjacent to Hanlon Park.</p>

<p>They'll keep the pipeline of new apartments flowing with Danby Lane in Nundah Village on the north side of Brisbane. They have approval for 84 apartments above six ground-level retail spaces and four commercial spaces.</p>

<p><img alt="Nundah" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7ae92e96-6c39-4486-8fe7-e52ac35b217b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-12-04%20at%202.32.01%20pm.png?VersionId=_e..v6xMjea0DH0BnZMH3q_CcoUsyAH9" /><em>The plans for Nundah Village. Image supplied</em></p>

<p>They also have an unnamed project in Kangaroo Point which will have 81 apartments, also above four retail spaces. They're currently working through a small modification to the development application.</p>

<p>Gardner Vaughan has two projects in Bokarina Beach on the Sunshine Coast. They'll be completing construction of Zinc Bokarina next year and launching the second tower in the popular Bask Bokarina.</p>

<h3>Sekisui House Australia</h3>

<p>Sekisui House Australia are looking to a big 2024 at their $1.1 billion masterplanned precinct, West Village.</p>

<p>They'll be completing their penultimate stage, The Allere Collection, comprising two towers UNO and DUO which are currently over 90 per cent sold.</p>

<p>The plan is to also launch the final stage of West Village, which they started developing way back in 2016 on the 2.6-hectare site of the 1920s Peters Ice Cream Factory, which saw the buildings restored and converted into commercial premises as part of the redevelopment.</p>

<p>The 15-storey building, which will be their most owner-occupier focused yet with around 70 three and four-bedroom apartments, will be the last chance to buy into the thriving community. FJMT studio designed the new tower, dubbed Callista on the Park.</p>

<p><img alt="Sekisui House" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d61e7ae1-a4cf-4c10-8978-3eb0c10d47ab" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-12-02%20at%201.19.11%20pm.png?VersionId=jYIRxzD74zee2ty3l7AkZox1lbO7iAWw" /></p>

<p>West Village encompasses approximately 6,500 sqm of public spaces including The Common, a 1,400 sqm landscaped green space along West End's Boundary Street.</p>

<p>The nine-tower West Village&nbsp;has won more than 40 awards, the most recent being the&nbsp;internationally renowned 2022 ULI APAC Award for Excellence.</p>

<p>Sekisui House also has a number of masterplanned projects in Sydney.</p>

<h3>Unison Projects</h3>

<p>Super A-Mart billionaire John Van Lieshout's property development firm, Unison Projects, has quickly built itself a large development pipeline having been surprised at how quickly they sold down their last batch of residential development.</p>

<p>In 2021 they strategically acquired a number of sites across South East Queensland, from the Gold Coast to inner-ring Brisbane. Now they have development applications or approvals in place, they're looking to execute in 2024.</p>

<p>Their most striking project is definitely Bank &amp; Mollison, their West End tower which has been designed to tier down from its 18-level high.</p>

<p><img alt="Unison" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7ccbfc2e-3c3d-4653-b982-d9119f54f763" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-12-04%20at%202.36.51%20pm.png?VersionId=SBwA0sqqQ5ekrZUZWE6_Uyf4ZJawQman" /></p>

<p>The Rothelowman-designed project on the corner of Bank and Mollison Streets will home 101 apartments above a podium and various resort-style amenities.</p>

<p>The tower submission came just a few days after they filed for a very different project in Herston where they're set for a <a href="/news/qld/first-look-unison-projects-propose-boutique-apartment-development-in-herston">more boutique 38-apartment development</a> designed by Ellivo Architects.</p>

<p>Also in their pipeline is the Newstead Federal Boot Factory, which was bought for $5.7 million in 2020. Unison amended the Joe Adsett plans that came with the sale, calling on Ellivo Architects to amend the density from 52 apartments to 41.</p>

<p>Their Gold Coast projects are in Labrador and Hope Island.</p>

<h3>Dibcorp</h3>

<p>Dibcorp will be heading into 2024 on the back of a successful sellout of their Newstead apartment development, Bide by Newstead.</p>

<p>Recently completed, Bide Newstead at&nbsp;29 Longland Street comprises 89 apartments which were designed with a focus on wellbeing and liveability.</p>

<p>The project features a&nbsp;600 sqm lush garden, known as Bide Gardens, which will home private cabanas and barbecue facilities.</p>

<p>Dibcorp's focus in 2024 will be the redevelopment of the former Spring Hill Hotel, which they want to convert into an 18-level mixed-use tower with 126 apartments.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=142092 project_image_fid=314270]</p>

<p>The development at&nbsp;100 Leichhardt Street will see the Spring Hill Hotel undergo restoration. It will become part of the residential tower.</p>

<p>DKO said in their submission to the Brisbane City Council the main design focus is to strike an appropriate scale for the site, situated on the border of the CBD, effectively mediating between the height and density of the city and the Spring Hill neighborhood. The project also aims to ensure that the Spring Hill Hotel's historical significance is not only preserved but celebrated.</p>

<p>Dibcorp has been led by its founder&nbsp;Franco Di Bartolomeo since 1996.</p>

<h3>Meriton</h3>

<p>Harry Triguboff's Meriton has thousands of apartments in the pipeline across the eastern seaboard.</p>

<p>His latest play is in the heart of Brisbane where he's seeking to create a&nbsp;$1.3 billion twin-tower project at 204 Alice Street.</p>

<p>The development of the 5,485 sqm site, which is currently home to the Gardens Apartments building, will bring a much needed 799 apartments to the Brisbane market.</p>

<p><strong><img alt="Meriton" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="cda5b5df-8f2f-4acb-8e2f-f3ff0cb9b701" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-12-04%20at%203.27.38%20pm.png?VersionId=DoXN43FhbC7FwcrYYWrBYJuS9fsgX1k8" /></strong></p>

<p>Meriton is expected to file plans for two 78 and 69-level towers early next year.</p>

<p>In September, Meriton was recognised as the busiest builder in Queensland for 2022-23, despite challenges in the construction sector.</p>

<p>The company has been named Australia's top apartment builder in the HIA COLORBOND® Steel Housing Top 100 Report, further solidifying its position as a market leader with a 4.5 Gold Star iCIRT rating.</p>

<h3>Mosaic Property Group</h3>

<p>No developer has a portfolio across South East Queensland like Brook Monahan's <a href="/developers/mosaic-property-group">Mosaic Property Group</a>. They have 14 apartment projects spread across the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Sunshine Coast, which they're focused on delivering in the next 12 to 18 months.</p>

<p>In 2024 they'll be completing four of those projects, three in the Gold Coast and one in Brisbane, each under their building arm, Mosaic Construction.</p>

<p>The Brisbane project, the sold out The Witton by Mosaic in Indooroopilly, will have 141 apartments across two buildings designed by Rothelowman.</p>

<p>The Gold Coast projects completing in 2024 are focused around the southern pocket, and are all sold out. In Kirra they have Luca by Mosaic on Douglas Street and in Burleigh Heads there's Florence by Mosaic and Augusta by Mosaic, both right next to the beach.</p>

<p>Mosaic have another three Brisbane buildings which they'll complete in 2025, The Mowbray by Mosaic in East Brisbane, The Prescott by Mosaic in Toowong, and The Manning by Mosaic in Milton. The three projects home nearly 300 apartments.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=111772 project_image_fid=199441]</p>

<p>Mosaic Founder and Managing Director Brook Monahan is optimistic regarding the South East Queensland property market in 2024.</p>

<p>"South East Queensland has consistently demonstrated robust fundamentals that underpin its allure for property investment, notably characterised by a critical undersupply of housing paired with sustained high demand, Monahan&nbsp;says."</p>

<p>"The persistent imbalance between supply and demand has been a key driver behind the ongoing escalation in the region's property values, highlighting the market's remarkable resilience.&nbsp;Adding to the favourable outlook, the region is experiencing an unprecedented level of infrastructure investment, both underway and planned, contributing significantly to economic growth and serving as a catalyst for employment opportunities."</p>

<p>"The ensuing influx of new residents, attracted by promising employment prospects and improved lifestyle offerings and connectivity, is expected to further amplify the demand for housing, particularly in areas rich in or close to amenities."</p>

<h3>Aria Property Group</h3>

<p>Tim Forrester's sustainability-focused <a href="/developers/aria-property-group">Aria Property Group</a> is expecting another big year in the local off the plan apartment space.</p>

<p>Having completed Upper House and Trellis in South Brisbane in 2023, <a href="/developers/aria-property-group">Aria</a> is well placed heading into 2024 with a number of projects well in train.</p>

<p>They have the almost sold-out Canopy House in Kangaroo Point and their Casa Mia development in West End, both under construction and expected to complete construction in 2025 and 2026</p>

<p>They'll also be hoping to launch their Urban Forest project in South Brisbane, having recently sought to push the height back up to 30 levels. The project has been <a href="/news/qld/aria-revive-plans-for-one-of-the-worlds-greenest-buildings-in-south-brisbane">described as "one of the world's greenest buildings."</a></p>

<p><img alt="Aria" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7a0c0904-50b1-40e6-9d12-95b6b62384ab" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-12-06%20at%209.35.41%20am.png?VersionId=AyKd1xYCns5gdkhMUM.YpzPRoUVsz.Cr" /></p>

<p>The plans by Koichi Takada are for&nbsp;321 apartments, from one-bedroom to five-bedrooms.</p>

<p>Recreational space will be on the communal rooftop, where there will be a 50-metre infinity pool and a number of spas, cabanas and day beds, yoga spaces, meditation pods, and barbecue and alfresco areas.</p>


The top 10 off the plan apartment developers to look out for in Brisbane in 2024

<p>It was the 1850s gold rush that brought a significant influx of people to Melbourne and South Melbourne.</p>

<p>This period of economic prosperity led to the construction of many historic buildings in the area, some of which still stand today.</p>

<p>In 1855, South Melbourne was granted municipal independence, which allowed the local government to manage its own affairs. This contributed to developing essential infrastructure, including roads, schools, and public services.</p>

<p>South Melbourne became an important industrial hub during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with factories, warehouses, and port facilities along its waterfront. This industrialisation brought jobs and economic growth to the area.</p>

<p>It wasn't until the mid-20th century that there was a shift towards residential development, after the deindustrialisation and urban decay of many inner-city areas.,</p>

<p>Former industrial spaces were converted into apartment developments and more modern housing complexes were built which attracted new residents to the area. Commercial and retail growth has continued to see the population of South Melbourne increase, with the emergence of shopping districts, restaurants, and cultural venues. The recent ABS Census data showed 11,500 people call South Melbourne home.</p>

<p>It's been famous for apartment development in recent years, with Gravity Tower, Shadow Play and The Fawkner bringing a much-needed amount of supply to the sought-after suburb.</p>

<p>The recent trends are for projects more boutique in nature, with the shift toward larger, owner-occupier style apartments.</p>

<p>We've looked at the top apartment developments currently for sale in South Melbourne.</p>

The top apartment developments selling in the City of Melbourne in November 2023

<p>Long before European settlement, the area now known&nbsp;as Brighton was inhabited by the Bunurong people, who lived along the coastline to utilize the abundant marine resources for sustenance.</p>

<p>The area became farmland following European settlement in the early 1800s. The 1840s marked the beginning of significant growth in Brighton, largely due to the introduction of a regular steamer service between Melbourne and the coastal suburb. This service made it easier for people to travel to and from the city and helped to boost the area's popularity.</p>

<p>More development came and the suburb started to become a playground for Melbourne's well-heeled.

<p>SIERA Property Group's <a href="/new-apartments/pipis-bilinga-303-golden-four-drive-bilinga-qld-4225">Pipis at Bilinga</a> presents an exclusive collection of just 19 luxury half-floor seaside residences across a unique 11-level building on <a href="/new-apartments/pipis-bilinga-303-golden-four-drive-bilinga-qld-4225">Bilinga's dress circle Golden Four Drive</a>. Each apartment boasts a spacious open floor plan, spanning from 233 sqm to 314 sqm, with the kitchen, living, and dining areas flowing onto balconies overlooking the beach.</p>

<p>Mason Cowle, director and co-founder of Ellivo Architects, emphasises the uniqueness of <a href="/new-apartments/pipis-bilinga-303-golden-four-drive-bilinga-qld-4225">Pipis</a>.</p>

<p>"The great opportunity with <a href="/new-apartments/pipis-bilinga-303-golden-four-drive-bilinga-qld-4225">Pipis</a> is its amazing beachfront site. It's quite incredible. It's quite unusual in the length of the site, so it's allowed us to create two per-floor unique residences, and because of that length, it has given us the ability to open up each of the apartments to the views, to the breeze."</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=138311 project_image_fid=217333]</p>

<p>Frameless glass balustrades and floor-to-ceiling window walls wrap the apartments, ensuring ample natural light, ventilation, and uninterrupted coastal views.</p>

<p>Lisa Schiffermuller, Associate Director of Interiors at Ellivo, said when choosing the materials of <a href="/new-apartments/pipis-bilinga-303-golden-four-drive-bilinga-qld-4225">Pipis</a>, they wanted something that didn't take away from the view.</p>

<p>"People are living there because they want to be by the beach and see the beach every day when they wake up and look out of their window. So our palette is really simple but sophisticated—lots of natural stone, handmade tiles and timber flooring."</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=138311 project_image_fid=217334]</p>

<p>Residents at <a href="/new-apartments/pipis-bilinga-303-golden-four-drive-bilinga-qld-4225">Pipis</a> will have access to a host of private ground-floor amenities with a 15 metres heated lap pool and sun lounge deck area, a fully equipped gymnasium with rowing, biking and reformer Pilates and an outdoor rain head shower and a dog wash.</p>

<p>But what truly sets <a href="/new-apartments/pipis-bilinga-303-golden-four-drive-bilinga-qld-4225">Pipis</a> apart is its prime beachfront location, a rarity on the Gold Coast. The property is between the vibrant areas of Kirra Coolangatta to the south and Tugun and Currumbin to the north.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=138311 project_image_fid=217340]</p>

<p>Residents enjoy easy access to the local amenities offered within Bilinga and its neighbouring areas while still being set back away from it, so residents are not right in the middle of all the hustle and bustle but can enter and leave when it suits them.</p>

<h3>Project: AURA on the Beach</h3>

<p><strong>Location: 59 Garfield Terrace, Surfers Paradise QLD 4217</strong></p>

<p><strong>Developer: ASF Group</strong></p>

<p><a href="/new-apartments/59-garfield-terrace">AURA on the Beach</a>, the new Northcliffe beachfront project by ASF Group, has already garnered substantial interest, with offers pouring in for its first-release apartments.</p>

<p>Daniel Fang, ASF Group Marketing Director, says there are only so many absolute beachfront residential opportunities, let alone at this calibre of design, finish, and amenity.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=9097 project_image_fid=213558]</p>

<p><a href="/new-apartments/59-garfield-terrace">AURA on the Beach</a> will see only 27 full-floor residences and a single multi-level penthouse, one of the largest on the Surfers Paradise beachfront. Each full-floor apartment offers expansive open-plan living/kitchen/dining areas, four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and more than 10 metres of direct ocean frontage.</p>

<p><a href="/new-apartments/59-garfield-terrace">AURA on the Beach</a> also has a resident-only amenity offering, which will include an ocean-view infinity pool, cabana, gym, and yoga room on the podium floor, as well as a rooftop alfresco entertainment area with sweeping views of the Gold Coast's cityscape and hinterland.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=9097 project_image_fid=212797]</p>

<p><a href="/new-apartments/59-garfield-terrace">AURA on the Beach</a> is across the road from Northcliffe Surf Club and is a two-minute walk to the light rail station.</p>

<h3>Project: AALTO</h3>

<p><strong>Location: 75-79 Garfield Terrace, Surfers Paradise QLD 4217</strong></p>

<p><strong>Developer: Weiya Holdings</strong></p>

<p>AALTO, the new Surfers Paradise beachfront apartment development on Garfield Terrace, has made waves in the market. Within just a month of its launch in Q4 of 2022, it secured over $30 million worth of sales.</p>

<p>Developed by Weiya Holdings, AALTO comprises 74 two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments and a sprawling 1,830 sqm, $15 million penthouse atop the 38-level Conrad Gargett-designed tower. The penthouse features five bedrooms, a cinema room, a gym, indoor and outdoor kitchens, and a 15-metre swimming pool.</p>

<p>A[smartcode_project:default project_id=108209 project_image_fid=206397]</p>

<p>Conrad Gargett Director John Flynn says AALTO's design is inspired by the movement of sand and water, a consequence of the Long Shore Drift phenomenon.</p>

<p>"The articulated edges display a natural rhythm comprised of soft corners and long sweeping forms, inspired by the inimitable movement of drifting sands and water along the coastline," Flynn says.</p>

<p>Much like the apartments, the residential amenities have also been designed to take in the sweeping beach views, with an ocean-view gym with a sauna, an ocean-view yoga area, and an infinity pool that seemingly hovers over the sand.&nbsp;</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=108209 project_image_fid=206388]</p>

<p>AALTO also offers The Club AALTO lounge with an owner bar, private function facilities and meeting rooms - fitting for fly-in and fly-out business elite residents. Concierge services are also available, from booking airport transfers and hair and make-up stylists to laundry services and housekeeping.</p>


Ever since the pandemic locked down the country, Sydneysiders and Melburnians have made up a significant portion of enquiry on the beach, while more recently Gold Coast locals and those living in Brisbane have been the most active in the market

The top three absolute beachfront apartment developments for sale on the Gold Coast

<p>The leafy suburb of Malvern was initially part of the Parish of Prahran until 1856 before it was established as its own suburb.</p>

<p>Named after Malvern Hill in England, Malvern's development was&nbsp;primarily driven by the arrival of the railway in the late 1850s. This transportation link connected Malvern to Melbourne, leading to increased settlement and growth.</p>

<p>One of the significant developments in Malvern's history was the land boom of the 1880s. During this period, grand Victorian and Edwardian-style homes were built, many of which still stand today, showcasing the suburb's architectural heritage. Malvern's tree-lined streets and spacious properties attracted affluent residents.</p>

<p>The neighbouring Malvern East began to evolve as a separate entity in the early 20th century, however it too experienced a housing boom during the interwar period. That saw Californian bungalows and Art Deco homes developed.</p>

<p>The establishment of prestigious schools and institutions in the vicinity such as Caulfield Grammar School and Monash University continued to drive the family demographic. The most recent ABS Census data shows around 60 per cent of residents in Malvern and Malvern East have children.</p>

<p>Both <a href="/new-apartments/malvern-vic-3144">Malvern</a> and <a href="/new-apartments/malvern-east-vic-3145">Malvern East</a> have managed to preserve their historical character. There's not been an overwhelming amount of new developments in either suburb of the past decade or so.</p>

<p>There are currently three high quality developments currently on the market in Malvern and Malvern East, and we've put together a bio on each.</p>

<h2>Maléa</h2>

<h3>Developer: Abadeen Victoria</h3>

<h3>Address:&nbsp;94 Burke Road, Malvern East VIC 3145</h3>

<h3>Price: From&nbsp;$2.6&nbsp;million</h3>

<p>Luxury Sydney developer <a href="/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a> has branched out into the high-end Melbourne apartment market, revealing their parkside apartment development <a href="/new-apartments/malea-94-burke-road-malvern-east">Maléa</a>, which will replace one of the last remaining homes to be redeveloped overlooking Central Park in Malvern East</p>

<p>Maléa, just seven apartments facing the 19-acre Central Park, is the result of a collaboration with Ewert Leaf as the architectural team behind its stoic, enduring form, featuring textural brickwork, layered concrete planes, and sleek metalwork, and John Patrick and Associates who took control of the extensive landscaping.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=141969 project_image_fid=222407]</p>

<p>These luxury apartments, available in two and three-bedroom configurations, feature a beautiful Calacatta Viola in the kitchen, dining area and bathroom, teamed with richer-toned porcelain slabs.</p>

<p>Maléa has been thoughtfully designed with sustainability in mind, aiming to achieve a minimum 6.5-star green energy rating. This commitment to environmental responsibility is evident through features like double glazing, concrete walls and floors, limited gas usage for hot water services, rainwater harvesting, solar panels, and provisions for future electric vehicle battery storage in the basement.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=141969 project_image_fid=222390]</p>

<p>Abadeen Victoria is being led by former CBRE Residential Projects Director&nbsp;<a href="/news/urban-ceo-mike-bird-interviews-360-propertys-john-meagher-cbres-andrew-leoncelli-about-the-property-industrys-response-to-covid-19" target="">Andrew Leoncelli</a>, who says&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/malea-94-burke-road-malvern-east">Malea</a>&nbsp;is the culmination of many years of experience working in this community. He says to have secured a site directly opposite Central Park, one of the very final sites in&nbsp;<a href="/developments/malvern-east-vic-3145">Malvern East</a>, is a phenomenal opportunity.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's an amazing community hub at your doorstep and where we are opposite Central Park Road, which is one of the best in all of the Gascoigne Estate, is one of the last opportunities to secure a park fronted luxury residence, and we are very excited to be bringing this to the market."</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=139856 project_image_fid=217345]</p>
