Dibcorp has launched the final release of apartments in their Newstead project, Bide, as construction continues apace.

Nestled in the heart of the suburb, the collection comprises just 12 remaining apartments, which feature two-bedroom residences and three-bedroom sky homes.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102309 project_image_fid=163978]

The remaining three-bed sky homes span from 121 sqm through to 193 sqm, with two-bathrooms and two car spaces.&nbsp;

WSA and Twohill &amp; James designed Bide with the belief that the spaces we inhabit are vital to a balanced life, from the landscaping to finishes.&nbsp;

Bide represents a new way of inner-city living, complete with a range of special inclusions and an urban green space exclusive for residents to relax, unwind, and even work from home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102309 project_image_fid=163984]

Residents of Bide will have access to a variety of amenities, with 600 sqm of facilities spread across two levels. These amenities include BBQ facilities, private cabanas, landscaped areas, and seating throughout.

The Newstead address grants city views, while framed floor-to-ceiling windows allow plenty of natural light to spill into every aspect of the homes.

Perhaps the best aspect of Bide is its central location. Residents will be able to enjoy the convenience of having Gasworks Plaza, James Street, and Newstead River Walk all within a stroll.&nbsp;

Construction is expected to wrap up later this year, with&nbsp;LPS Group handling the build.&nbsp;

The transformation of a vacant site in West Ryde is well underway, as the NSW Government invests $55 million into a new residential development by Billbergia.&nbsp;

The project consists of three apartment buildings, collectively housing 150 units, including 30 designated for social housing tenants.

The first building in the project, Parade, is situated on a narrow site to the north of West Ryde's railway station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90223 project_image_fid=143368]

Designed by PTW Architects, the architecture of Parade pays homage to the surrounding street context, drawing inspiration from Sydney's traditional brick apartment typology, the three-storey walk-up. Each of the six-storey buildings features a cubic brick base that serves as a tripartite anchoring element.

While the project initially offered a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, only the one-bedroom floorplans remain available, with prices starting at $695,000.&nbsp;

The design of The Parade combines the solidity of the brick bases with taller curved and glazed levels that feature pronounced and rounded horizontals, with the architectural approach reflecting the movement of nearby rail tracks.

Inside The Parade, the interiors have been designed to provide a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, enhancing the overall living and dining experience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90223 project_image_fid=143373]

The apartments boast high-end features such as stone kitchen splashbacks and reconstituted stone countertops with a 20 millimetre solid edge, along with Artusi appliances, including an electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, gas cooktop, ducted rangehood, and combination washer and dryer, all of which are Australian branded and backed by a 5-year warranty.

The development also emphasises sustainability and community well-being. Open spaces with thoughtfully landscaped areas are incorporated between each building, providing residents with access to greenery and outdoor leisure spaces, in addition to a rooftop terrace.&nbsp;

These three-bedroom apartments exude an air of opulence and practicality, featuring two bathrooms, two car spaces, secure basement storage, and a dedicated cellar for wine enthusiasts.

The 270-degree views stretch from the Greenwich Peninsula towards Balmain, over Goat Island, and eastward to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House.

The Sky Villa collection at Akoya represents the epitome of regality and luxury. The exclusive apartments feature bespoke details, including natural stone, marble, and brass, which complement the limitless views of Sydney Harbour that are on offer from their prime positioning within the development.&nbsp;

Akoya also offers residents a range of five-star amenities that are rarely seen in Sydney.

Residents can indulge in the luxurious infinity edge lap pool, which floats above the harbour, providing sweeping city views, with the space complete with resort-style sunken sunbeds.

The lush landscaped rooftop terrace also features built-in dining pods, creating private spaces for hosting friends and family, in addition to two outdoor kitchens.

Akoya is also home to an in-house bar and lounge, a wine cellar that offers individual storage spaces for residents' personal wine collections, with the space able to be transformed into a private dining room, complete with a finishing kitchen.

For those with a passion for golf, Akoya features its own golf simulator room, allowing residents to play a round of golf&nbsp;all year round, regardless of the weather. The golf simulator room is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and offers a small lounge area as well.

Drew Group's Main Beach apartment development, Lagoon, is creating quite a buzz among buyers with its incredible value proposition.

The project has released its final collection of one-bedroom apartments, and they are proving to be a hit due to their spacious layouts and attractive price point.

The one-bedders span 93 sqm in total, making them some of the most spacious one-bedroom apartments on the Gold Coast market. They are priced from $745,000, which equates to $8,000 per sqm.&nbsp;

The lack of one-bedders currently available in the market is also driving strong buyer interest to Lagoon, with the one-beds also coming with one car space.

Pezet Matheson are marketing Lagoon, with Managing Director Jayde Pezet saying new one-bedroom apartments are increasingly scarce across the Gold Coast, primarily due to lack of space for car parking in basements and development sites becoming smaller. &nbsp;

"Lagoon offers purchasers an opportunity to secure a rarely available new one-bedroom apartment at an exceptional rate per sqm, so not only are people purchasing a unique property, but they are also realising incredible value in todays market,” Pezet&nbsp;said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=191661]

Crafted by Plus Architecture, there's only a limited collection of one-bed plus multi-purpose room apartments remaining in Lagoon, with each boasting northerly aspects.

The apartments benefit from adjoining balconies, which drench each residence with natural light, while also creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.&nbsp;

The kitchens are home to suite of Smeg appliances, including an oven, dishwasher, and microwave, coupled with brushed nickel tapware, an abundance of storage space and an engineered stone island bench.&nbsp;

The homes also include separate laundry space with storage included, in addition to built-in robes to the bedrooms.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=193023]

Positioned as the largest Main Beach apartment development in three decades, the $390 million twin-tower project was fast-tracked to the market in response to the overwhelming interest it has generated.

Apart from spacious apartments, Lagoon boasts an array of high-end amenities designed to complement the coastal way of life.

Residents will have access to a pool oasis complete with private cabanas, inviting indoor and outdoor lounges, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a serene yoga deck, surfboard storage, a business hub, and a heated spa.&nbsp;

Construction is well underway, with Hutchinson Builders handling the build. The completion of Lagoon is expected in the third quarter of 2025.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=108747]

The lack of one-bedders currently available in the market is also driving strong buyer interest to Lagoon, with the one-beds also coming with one car space

Drew Group's Lagoon Main Beach offering best value for money on the Gold Coast

The inner-west’s latest residential high-rise, 33 Manning, is now 50 per cent sold following a strong run of sales since its launch in February.

Developer Goldfields said the majority of early buyers are owner occupiers seeking value in a city-fringe riverside suburb, access to quality amenities, and forward-thinking design. &nbsp;

Located in Milton, just two kilometres from the Brisbane CBD and adjacent to the Park Road precinct, the 130-apartment tower offers one, two and three-bedroom apartments set over 18 storeys, with city and river views, a rooftop pool, and close proximity to transport options.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=209694]

Goldfields CEO Lachlan Thompson said demand for 33 Manning has been strong since launch as Brisbane continues to battle undersupply and lower vacancy rates.

“We’re thrilled to see our first built form project in the Brisbane market resonate so well with locals in just four months, but we’re not surprised," Thompson said.&nbsp;

“Undersupply of housing across most of the city, combined with explosive population growth throughout 2021 and 2022, laid the foundation for a robust market that continues to outperform many other cities across the country."

Recent federal government data from the Centre for Population shows Queensland’s population is expected to grow by more than 16 per cent by 2032, with Greater Brisbane expected to grow faster than the rest of the state.

“Queensland is currently leading the way in population growth recovery post-pandemic and Brisbane is preparing to host the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games,"&nbsp;Thompson added.

“Although most of the sold apartments have been snapped up by locals who already know and love the area, we’re expecting more interest from interstate and foreign buyers in the future.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=209941]

Designed by renowned architects Rothelowman, 33 Manning pays homage to the classic Queenslander home. It offers residents the scale and function of the traditional Sunshine State home, aligned to Brisbane’s subtropical climate and transformed for contemporary high-rise living.

33 Manning is also home to a collection of penthouses, with just eight three-bedroom sky homes on offer. Pitched toward the downsizer market who are after an alternative to a traditional house, each features a master bedroom suite, along with two generously sized bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple living areas and large terraces, with river and city views.

According to Andrew Scriven, Managing Director of Colliers Residential Queensland, the design and architecture of 33 Manning has been a key driver of interest from buyers, alongside its city-fringe location.

“There’s no doubt that 33 Manning provides some of the best value in the inner Brisbane market," Scriven said.

"A combination of timeless design by award-winning architects, impressive elevation with river, city and mountain views, and the lifestyle it offers close to cafes, restaurants, markets and public transport, makes it a must for both owner occupiers and investors.

“We’ve purposefully designed 33 Manning residences for specific buyer types. Best suited to owner occupiers, our three-bedroom apartments start on level 11 to ensure the best river and city views and aspect."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=209946]

Scriven suggests 33 Manning's two-bedroom apartments offer size and aspect, and are the best value in the inner city. He says they could yield almost five per cent for investors&nbsp;given the current rental pressures in Brisbane.

“The emphasis on indoor/outdoor living and quality communal amenities including a luxurious rooftop pool, dining spaces, yoga area, garden and sauna, tick the box for those turning to apartment living for lifestyle and affordability.”

33 Manning also offers Brisbane homebuyers a rare opportunity to buy off-the-plan with a deposit of just $10,000, in conjunction with property-buying platform Coposit.

At no cost to purchasers, the free Coposit app allows buyers to secure an apartment at the current price before paying back the rest of the deposit in weekly instalments during the construction phase.

33 Manning is forecasted to be completed in mid-2025.

Their brief to CHT Architects an interior architecture and design practice SORA, was to create one-of-a-kind floorplans in the boutique Wattletree Road development of 25 apartments.

No two apartments have the same floorplan, which is attracting a variety of buyers. What's also drawing buyers is the size of the three-bedroom apartments in particular.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109608 project_image_fid=205497]

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

The two and three-bedroom apartments are thoughtfully designed to maximise views and natural light, with a carefully selected palette of materials, including timber floors and marble benchtops and splashbacks.

Each apartment features&nbsp;Gaggenau appliances, along with Liebherr fridges and wine fridges and Astra Walker tapware, as well as private garages equipped with EV chargers.&nbsp;

Taking luxury to new heights, the penthouse at Society Armadale offers an unrivalled experience akin to a palatial house, boasting features such as a home cinema, wine cellar, office, and sauna, along with multiple living areas.

Trackside is joined by three other residential projects, with Feehan Row and Thomas Street both sold out and limited opportunities remaining in Stonepine House, showcasing the demand and interest buyers have shown in the community.&nbsp;

The masterplanned community development will also feature various public spaces, including Stonepine Square, Cox Place, Tote Park, Rumpus, and The Stalls at Moonee Valley Racecourse. These public spaces provide a gathering place for visitors and residents to enjoy a dynamic, healthy lifestyle.

Stonepine Square is an idyllic gathering space built around existing turn-of-the-century Stone Pine trees. It features Mediterranean-themed plantings, shady pergolas draped with vines, and is perfect for a casual lunch or BBQ.

Rumpus is a destination playground where children can run free and enjoy skipping, jumping, and rolling over. Parents can relax in the adjacent café or enjoy a picnic with produce from Cox Place while keeping an eye on their little ones.

The Stalls at Moonee Valley Racecourse, situated in the historic spot where racehorses gather on race days, will transform into an active place for the community to enjoy during the rest of the year.

The Arena, another public space in the masterplan, will change the face of Moonee Valley Racecourse. It will serve as a welcoming space for the community to gather and enjoy local festivals and family-friendly events throughout the year.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=105114 project_image_fid=210526]

The transformation of Moonee Valley Racecourse is set to be the biggest in the club’s history, with a brand-new world-class sporting and events grandstand that will serve members and the community for the next century.

The Moonee Valley Racecourse fields, reserved for racing for only 30 days per year, will be transformed on non-racing days into a unique area for residents, workers, club members, and visitors to enjoy a dynamic, healthy lifestyle.

The grand project has already sparked interest from buyers and investors alike, and with the launch of Trackside House, it's only set to grow. The Moonee Valley Racecourse redevelopment will undoubtedly change the face of Melbourne's property landscape and become a destination for years to come.
