Bayside builder developer, Shenfield Property, is well on track to complete its boutique&nbsp;<a href="/developments/cheltenham-vic-3192">Cheltenham</a> townhouse development, Plenteous, by the end of 2024.

Only a few of the eight architect-designed townhouses on Jean Street remain for sale through Noorden marketing agent David Lamond, who has seen both local upsizers and downsizers buy into the project given its low-maintence design but with the size to cater for families, as well as its proximity to Southpoint Station and Westfield Southland.&nbsp;

The townhouses, a dwelling type not often seen in Cheltenham and certainly not close to a central location as <a href="/buildings/plenteous-cheltenham-49-jean-street-cheltenham-vic-3192">Plenteous</a>, have been designed by&nbsp;Farrington&nbsp;Architects to at the end of a quiet, leafy cul-de-sac with frontage to Jean Streett Reserve and Playground.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136588 project_image_fid=208418]

Two or three-bedroom towhnouses are on offer, across either two or three levels. Interior designer&nbsp;<a href="/interior-designers/aldona-padjak-interior-design-apid">Aldona Padjak</a>&nbsp;crafted the insides of the townhouses with soft, neutral colours to enhance natural light.

The inside opens up to and incorporates the outdoors, with the ground level opening to a courtyard garden and the second or third level offering a balcony.

With construction progressing steadily, the project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2024.

National developer Metro Property Development, once the largest inner-city residential apartment developer in SEQ, is bringing its reputable name to Rochedale, a small suburb south of Brisbane.

Metro is currently developing <a href="/new-apartments/citrine-townhomes-rochedale-311-gardner-road-rochedale">Citrine</a>, a community of 90 two to three-level, three to four-bedroom townhouses on Gardner Road, a stone's throw from <a href="/developments/rochedale-qld-4123">Rochedale</a> Village, the area's central shopping hub.

The townhouses offer a huge point of difference in a suburb dominated by houses. The latest ABS Census showed 90 per cent of the dwelling type in the suburb is a separate house. There are only around 150 townhouses in the whole suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136295 project_image_fid=273139]

Australia's largest semi-detached builder,&nbsp;<a href="/developers/creation-homes">Creation Homes</a>, has already started construction on the 3.83ha site Metro acquired in mid-2021.

Each townhome within Citrine features an open plan living and dining area that extends to either courtyards or balconies that characterise the Queensland lifestyle and dwelling typology. The kitchens have been made for entertaining with a stone island bench, while the master retreats have their own ensuites with double vanities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136295 project_image_fid=273138]

The majority of townhouses have an additional multi-purpose room that can double up as a second living area on a different level to the main living space.

Citrine residents will also have access to resort-style amenities in the form of a lap pool and adjoining barbecue area, located in the middle of the community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136295 project_image_fid=273134]

Citrine is centrally located within walking distance of local schools, parks, and Rochedale Village, which is anchored by a large Coles supermarket and various dining choices, pharmacies, medical services, and fitness facilities, all within 500 metres.

The third stage of Rochedale Town Centre has also recently been announced, on the corner of Gardner Road and Miles Platting Road.&nbsp;

Designed by POWE Architects, the proposal is for a second supermarket with more retail, food and drink outlets, an outdoor dining area and plaza entrance, and further car parking in the final integrated stage.

The kitchens are equipped with SMEG appliances and soft-touch cabinetry, centred around a breakfast bar designed for ease of entertaining, while the master&nbsp;bedrooms come with built-in or walk-in robes, bathrooms with natural stone tiling, and premium tapware, ensuring ample storage and natural light.

Homeowners can choose between natural, earthy tones in light and dark colour palettes.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24247 project_image_fid=281103]

ONE Apartments is ideally located within walking distance of Darby Street eateries, parks, the Civic Theatre, Newcastle Interchange, the Honeysuckle foreshore precinct, and various retail stores.

Leading Australian integrated property development group, <a href="/developers/aqualand-australia">Aqualand</a>, has installed a sculpture created by world-renowned, London-based artist, Richard Sweeney, on the ground plane of their <a href="/buildings/aura-by-aqualand-north-sydney-168-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">AURA by Aqualand</a> mixed-use precinct, located at 168 Walker Street, <a>North Sydney</a>.

Rising 28 storeys above the streetscape, and due for construction completion in June, the $1B <a href="/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>-designed residential community comprises 371 luxury apartments above a richly landscaped community precinct, including a two-storey curated food and beverage podium.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=268991]

Aqualand’s collaboration with award-winning landscape architects, <a href="/landscape-architect/turf-design">Turf Design Studio</a>, has resulted in a ground plane design that successfully integrates the project with the unique local environs of the characterful suburb.&nbsp;

This landscape design has now been embellished with the installation of the site-specific public art piece titled ‘landscape’, which graces the Walker Street entrance to the precinct.&nbsp;

Commissioned by Aqualand, the 4.1-metre bronze cast piece was also inspired by <a href="/developments/north-sydney-nsw">North Sydney</a>’s locale, and features unique, organic curves inspired by the natural elements of sandstone, water and the landscape synonymous with the harbour front. The artwork has been woven into the fabric of the garden to amplify the arrival experience.

<img alt="Public artwork by international artist installed at AURA by Aqualand - sculpture" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6263c56d-8b07-4e8b-8026-34af9f076ce9" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Aura%20-%20Sculpture%20%282%20of%2011%29.jpg?VersionId=9pWMYW2UAVa01WxKE9QudJTDjGKkdfVC" />

Richard Sweeney’s objective was to create a visually complex piece that appears light and abstract, with the appearance of layering and weathering.&nbsp;

“To achieve this effect, I incorporated subtle voids and carefully placed layers to offer variation in both shape and texture,” Sweeney said.

“The surface of the sculpture has a slight striated effect reflecting the layered effect of the sandstone.&nbsp;

“Comprised of two separate elements, depending on the viewpoint, it has a feeling of mass and solidity or an appearance of lightness and fluidity.

“A combination of patinas and paint was used to achieve the duo-tone effect using yellow and red tonalities, echoing sandstone colours and textures. A subtle pearl effect gives more contrast between inner/outer surfaces.

‘‘The charming metal sculpture pays tribute to the intriguing textures of the iconic local weathered sandstone. It’s been a joy to create and it's truly gratifying to finally see it installed in the place I specifically designed it for,” he said.

<img alt="​​​​AURA Sculpture" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0ab42955-195f-45cb-b339-58abe90e8f55" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Aura%20-%20Sculpture%20%285%20of%2011%29.jpg?VersionId=vy9ZrpipGccT8HZTVx9U0wFw2hcn_WsZ" />

Fabricated at UAP’s foundry in <a href="/new-apartments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a>, the piece will support vibrant placemaking by creating a focal point to greet future residents and their visitors, patrons of and staff working at the bakery, café, wine bars and restaurant, and the broader North Sydney community alike.&nbsp;

<a href="/developers/aqualand-australia">Aqualand</a> Group Managing Director, Jin Lin, says he’s excited by the artwork’s installation and sees it as a testament to Aqualand’s commitment to building communities that reflect the local area.&nbsp;

“As we retain ownership of the retail spaces in all our projects, we’re with them for the long term, long after the residences have sold out," Lin said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=265117]

"As such, we take great pride in working closely with the local community to create projects that truly elevate their surroundings.&nbsp;We have a number of significant investments in North Sydney and are deeply committed to increasing the appeal of the suburb as an engaging and activated precinct to not only work in but to live and play in too."

Lin says they see the installation as a permanent symbol of their commitment to the area, one the entire community can now enjoy.

“We can’t wait to welcome our North Sydney neighbours in over the coming weeks, so they can enjoy our retail offerings and this beautiful new sculpture."

Downsizers from Melbourne's inner east have swooped on Burnley Maltings, one of the only opportunities to move into a newly built home in the tightly held suburb in recent years.

They've been coming from large family homes in the likes of <a href="/developments/kew-vic-3101">Kew</a>, <a href="/developments/hawthorn-vic-3122">Hawthorn</a> and <a href="/developments/richmond-vic-3121">Richmond</a> now the kids have flown the nest and they don't need such a large family home.

The townhouses at <a href="/new-apartments/burnley-maltings-richmond-45-gibdon-street-richmond">Burnley Maltings</a> cater for multi-generational living but are low maintenance. All but one townhouse in the development of 37 residences offering three bedrooms, while several have a separate home office space and all have large rooftop terraces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14401 project_image_fid=264102]

"These buyers want to be somewhere where there's more going on, but don't want to be right in the thick of the action," Bart O'Callaghan, director of developer Developed by Urban says.

"They don't want to be in the middle of Richmond, but they want the easy access either by train, with the Burnley Station just 500 metres away, or a short car ride."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14401 project_image_fid=264089]

O'Callaghan says they're also expecting local upsizers when construction is more advanced, from those who don't want the headache and cost of renovating and extending their current Victorian-era cottage and instead opt for a new home. Burnley Maltings brings that heritage through, given the terraces in the&nbsp;heritage-protected landmark&nbsp;Barrett &amp; Burston Maltings, a historic malting factory that started life in the late 1800s as Terry's Burnley Brewery.

The street is also just across the road from the prestigious St Georges Road, one of Melbourne's priciest streets where there have been sales of up to $88 million.

Currently under construction with a target completion date of late 2025, Burnley Maltings represents a rare heritage restoration that is difficult to reproduce in the current built environment.

<a href="/developers/developed-by-urban">Developed by Urban</a>&nbsp;is a&nbsp;specialist in restorations of old and heritage-listed buildings. They took the opportunity not many developers would when the historic building came up for sale.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14401 project_image_fid=264091]

O’Callaghan says for years Burnley's main&nbsp;detraction had been the operating heritage maltings which finished operations in 2018.

"We have put a tonne of work into the heritage restoration and reimagining of the c.1885 space to now incorporate 1,000 sqm of gardens and beautifully designed new homes, perfect for Families and downsizers alike.

“So often&nbsp;<a href="/developments/melbourne-vic" target="">Melbourne</a>&nbsp;families living in the inner suburbs are forced further away from the CBD in pursuit of space and a larger family home close to Schools. Burnley Maltings townhomes include lock-up garages, oversized bedrooms rooftop terraces and oodles of family living space.”

Why downsizers are flocking to Burnley Maltings

Frasers has unveiled the heart of its $500 million masterplanned community, The Quarry.

The hub of the masterplan,&nbsp;a transformation the 48.7-hectare <a>Keperra</a> Quarry, is the recently completed $5 million resort-style facility ClubQ.

The facility features a 25-metre lap pool with an infinity edge, two further resort-style walk-in pools with an integrated waterfall and a kid's splash and play area, and a private wellness centre featuring a fully equipped gym and meditation room.&nbsp;

ClubQ also has a kitchen, an art gallery and future communal dining space, shared green space, and a sunset deck with sunken levels and built-in seating to capture panoramic views of the local D’Aguilar Range and beyond.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141197 project_image_fid=228243]

<a href="/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> Project Leader Megan Schulte said the space had been designed to amplify life at <a href="/new-townhouses/the-quarry-by-frasers-property-1004-samford-road-keperra-qld-4054">The Quarry</a>.&nbsp;

“The built form of ClubQ takes cues from the existing environment and colours, reusing materials mined on site to build a sense of place,” Schulte said.&nbsp;

“Water and earth are celebrated throughout the ClubQ footprint as the lifeforce and heart of everything, &nbsp;even to the imposing 4-metre high, 54-tonne granite boulder that forms part of the building itself.”&nbsp;

“We have truly left no stone unturned to connect these vastly distinct spaces, from reusing site materials &nbsp;including monolithic stone in the spacious kitchen, to subtle touches like the geometry of the footpath and pool &nbsp;edges which resemble the microscopic edges of granite.”&nbsp;

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141197 project_image_fid=228244]

The entertainment space overlooks a 3.7-metre LED screen and a collection of curated visual storytelling pieces presented as an art gallery that will become a communal dining space for future residents.&nbsp;

A mature Kauri Pine Tree sits front and centre at ClubQ, encased by windows as it seamlessly blends the inside and outside realms, adding natural light for picturesque views and enhanced golden hour scenes all year round.&nbsp;

Scott Ullman, General Manager of Queensland Development at Frasers Property Australia, said the ClubQ brought unique amenities and design aesthetic to a rugged environment.&nbsp;

“As The Quarry transforms over the next decade, ClubQ will become a timeless space for future residents to come together and enjoy social events and recreation long into the future,” he said.&nbsp;

“More than 40 per cent of the community is dedicated to existing bushland and newly curated green space and resident amenities. ClubQ is the heart of the Quarry, and an extension of the residents’ homes.” &nbsp;

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141197 project_image_fid=228249]

The Quarry will feature a mix of 500 home and land sites, Rothelowman-designed terrace homes, and extensive placemaking.

The existing Keperra Quarry mines granite and will progressively curb operations as the development of the residential stages advances.&nbsp;

Frasers unveil ClubQ at $500 million Keperra Quarry masterplan

For centuries, Australia's oldest prisons have taken up prime land across the country.

It's the case in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs where Long Bay jail occupies 32 hectares of prime eastern suburbs real estate that has long been touted as a potential to somewhat curb some of Sydney's crippling housing supply issue.

In Brisbane, there's the now-closed H.M. Prison Brisbane, more commonly known as Boggo Road Gaol, one of the most notorious prisons in the country before it closed its doors in the 1980s. That still sits on a prime near 10-hectare block of land in Dutton Park, just south of the city and on the fringe of Woolloongabba, the focal point of the 2032 Brisbane Summer Olympics.

The Melbourne Assessment Prison is located in one of the most sought-after and busy spots in the heart of the Victorian capital, straddling both Spencer and La Trobe Streets in the heart of the city.

These prisons sit on blocks of land that will likely never be traded, which is why when the HMAS Pentridge Prison in Coburg shut down operations in the late 1990s, astute developers swooped on the 6.7-hectare parcel which is located near the centre of <a href="/developments/coburg-vic-3058">Coburg</a>.

One of those developers was Pace, who secured a site that was formerly the exercise yard of the prison. The site Pace acquired left them with a relatively blank canvas compared to some other developers who bought parts of the prison which had to be retained as part of the redevelopment.

While not having to follow strict heritage rules, architecture firm <a href="/architects/sjb-architects">SJB Architects</a> still looked to the old prison for inspiration.
