Builder-developer 5Point has received an unprecedented uplift at its under-construction luxury new Palm Beach apartment development, Ophira Palm Beach.

The significant planning approval allows 5Point to increase the building height and add another two full-floor apartments to the exclusive development on the Jefferson Lane beachfront, enhancing what was already one of the most anticipated absolute beachfront apartment offerings on the southern Gold Coast with sales prices averaging in excess of $7 million.

When first launched last year, five of the then-eight apartments were snapped up within just a few months, by local downsizers.

Only one of the full-floor apartments remains for sale, with the two-level penthouse currently under negotiation.

<img alt="web living" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="abc1eef9-cde1-4b56-af4d-b3e43403ab60" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/WEB_type_b_living___dining_ophira_option_1_3D_render_by_VV.jpg?VersionId=WHQyVek5KPIeBIyCyJ1oD51ovuSM_mKR" />

5Point Projects Managing Director Damian Dove said the uplift was a major milestone for Ophira and 5Point, demonstrating that when the Gold Coast City Council’s strategic planning guidelines have been met, there is an acceptance for this type of development along the coastline.

“We had gone for low density, low occupancy in the original scheme,” Dove says, adding that it was their plan to go for the uplift to 12 levels.

“We were confident that if the building was designed for the downsizer in the luxury market space we would be able to meet city plan’s framework objective.”

Dove believes the approval will sit as a benchmark for what the local council and community will accept for future development along the beach.

“I am hopeful that Palm Beach will benefit as a result whereby great design and planning will continue to enhance the beachfront landscape.”

Each full-floor residence will offer between 294 sqm to 322 sqm of internal and external living space, including balconies with uninterrupted ocean views. They will have three ensuited bedrooms, display wine storage, and a scullery off the kitchen.

Ophira’s two-level penthouse will deliver 516 sqm of internal and external living space, comprising four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, and its own private lift, bar and outdoor entertainment area featuring a pool, sauna, and sundeck.

Dove says the strong sales received to date is a testament to the design by BDA, the clever configurations of the floorplans to hero the beachfront setting, and the timeless luxury architectural fixtures and finishes.

“As with each of our projects, we wanted to create something that differentiated itself from the market," Dove said.

“We are passionate about creating spaces that resonate with the unique essence of Palm Beach while meeting the evolving needs of modern living."

Since bringing development in-house to their already well-established construction business, 5Point has a proven capability and success. They have over $160 million of apartments under contract on Jefferson Lane alone.

Their second Jefferson Lane development, Palm Shores, just 400 metres up the road from Ophira, sold eight of its 16 residences in just four weeks. Now 12 have sold, leaving just four remaining, including a unique four-bedroom two-level beach home that offers direct beach access.

5Point’s Ophira uplift puts Palm Beach beachfront centre stage

Leading Australian developer <a href="/developers/toga-group">TOGA</a> has brought Harris Farm to their award-nominated mixed-use development, <a href="/buildings/wicks-place-marrickville-186-victoria-road-marrickville-nsw-2204">Wicks Place</a>, in the heart of Sydney’s Inner West.

Bringing the fresh fruit and grocery retailer’s signature market-style deli to Marrickville, the opening was celebrated through a custom mural by Sydney-based artist Nico Nicoson, whose vibrant work previously featured in Harris Farm’s Redfern store in TOGA’s Surry Hills Village development. The mural captures the soul of Marrickville through colour, community and creativity – highlighting the unique identity of the area.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27691 project_image_fid=328315]

This is the third Harris Farm to feature at a TOGA development, alongside TOGA’s iconic Surry Hills Village and Bondi Boheme. The newly opened retailer is the primary tenant of Wicks Place, bringing its iconic range of fresh fruit and vegetables, deli products from around the world, and the much-loved Imperfect Picks range, which saves quirky but delicious produce from waste to the Marrickville community.

Stretching across 1,825 sqm, the store is nestled between hospitality retailers Chargrill Charlies and Zambero, on the ground floor of TOGA’s Wicks Place.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27691 project_image_fid=328319]

Being a finalist for The Urban Developer award for Development of the Year – High-Density Residential (200+) 2025, TOGA’s Wicks Place is the first residential development in the transformation of Marrickville’s Victoria Road Precinct, delivering 270 apartments across five buildings, with ground floor retail that overlooks Wicks Park.&nbsp;

With only five two-bedroom apartments left, buyer sentiment has been overwhelmingly positive. As the precinct continues to come to life with the opening of Harris Farm, this is the last chance to buy into what Time Out has identified as one of the top 10 coolest suburbs in the world.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27691 project_image_fid=308947]

Paul Shaw, Executive General Manager at TOGA Group said, residents and locals alike are responding well to the new store.

“Wicks Place has been forged from the eclectic community of Marrickville, and to see the positive response from residents and locals alike to the opening of our key tenant, Harris Farm is fantastic," Shaw said.

"The new supermarket adds to the expansive offerings seen at the precinct and the area, from sprawling parks, warehouse-style bars, and boutique retail alongside bustling restaurants and exciting live music - residents are loving the new addition with demand high for the last remaining apartments.”

Brisbane-based developer<a href="/developers/spyre-group"> Spyre Group</a> is well-known in both Brisbane and the Gold Coast for creating some of the best new apartment projects in recent years, predominantly servicing the owner-occupier and downsizer market.

Their move into Melbourne came as a surprise to many, but the style of development did not, nor its location.

They chose Hampton, in Melbourne's affluent Bayside area, for their first development in the Victoria capital, <a href="/new-apartments/hampton-ltd-36-deakin-street-n-hampton-vic-3188">Hampton Ltd</a>, just 20 apartments and three townhouses&nbsp;on the corner of Thomas Street and Deakin Street North.

Spyre Managing Director Daniel Laruccia said <a href="/interior-designers/studio-brent-lee">Hampton</a>’s combination of bayside location and community feel made it a natural fit for Spyre’s design-led approach.

“In our pursuit to offer an unmatched living experience for those who desire the extraordinary, we discovered Hampton is the ideal canvas to bring this vision to life - a prime bayside location brimming with untapped potential," Laruccia said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134801 project_image_fid=220067]

The trio of buildings that make up Hampton Ltd have been designed with an individual character, a deliberate move to provide residents with a more personal living experience.

Rather than a single monolithic structure, Hampton Ltd’s configuration promotes a stronger sense of address and individuality for each home, while also allowing&nbsp;for larger setbacks and outdoor spaces compared to typical multi-residential projects in the area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134801 project_image_fid=346337]

There are two and three-bedroom apartments on offer, as well as three two-level&nbsp;townhomes, with layouts designed to maximise natural light and create generous internal proportions.

Architecture is by <a href="/architects/mld-studio">MLD Studio</a>, while <a href="/interior-designers/studio-brent-lee">Studio Brent Lee</a> has handled the interiors which feature a considered palette of high-end finishes including natural stone benchtops, wool carpets and timber-look joinery.

Kitchens have been designed as central living spaces, anchored by sculptural marble island benches, while master suites offer extensive walk-in robes and abundant natural light.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134801 project_image_fid=346335]

Hampton Ltd is ideally located in Hampton, offering proximity to the beach, as well as convenient access to Hampton Street’s retail and dining precinct and the wider Bayside lifestyle amenity including Brighton's popular Church Street retail strip.

The project, which is already under construction through&nbsp;<a href="/builders/abewolf">AbeWolf</a>,&nbsp;is proving to be popular with both local downsizers and rightsizers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134801 project_image_fid=220070]

Spyre Group is well known for its high-end&nbsp;residential developments across Queensland, including record-setting projects in Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

“With more than $800 million of luxury developments,&nbsp;Spyre&nbsp;has identified a genuine demand in the market for aspirational properties that inspire through their design and innovation,’’ Laruccia added.

Spyre’s Moray House development on the New Farm reach of the Brisbane River broke the record for Brisbane’s most expensive apartment sale in 2023 when its two-level, 800 sqm penthouse sold off the plan for $15.75 million.&nbsp;

In March last year, the penthouse of&nbsp;Spyre’s Glasshouse development at Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast sold for $24 million, giving it the title of Queensland’s most expensive off the plan penthouse.&nbsp;

Award-winning Canberra builder-developer <a href="/developers/jwland-development">JWLand</a> is nearing completion of De Burgh, the third and final residential stage of its thriving Lyneham masterplan, Northbourne Village.

The apartments at <a href="/new-apartments/de-burgh-at-northbourne-village-40-de-burgh-street-lyneham">De Burgh</a> will be among the newest residences available in Canberra when construction finishes later this year. With construction fast approaching, for a limited time, JWLand is offering prospective buyers the opportunity to secure an apartment for just $5,000, with the rest due on settlement.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=212887]

The burgeoning developer has catered to a wide range of buyers at De Burgh, offering every apartment configuration imaginable—from smartly designed studios to spacious dual-level, loft-style apartments.

The two nine-level buildings that make up De Burgh were designed to complement the already completed and sold-out buildings within the Northbourne Village precinct. The buildings rise to nine levels but step down to six toward De Burgh Street, allowing upper-level residences to enjoy larger balconies and sweeping views over Sullivans Creek.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=212888]

Each apartment is designed to maximise natural light while minimising overlooking. Living areas extend to generous outdoor spaces, with upper-level residences featuring terraces or balconies, and ground-level apartments offering private courtyards.

While Northbourne Village already delivers convenience and amenity on the doorstep — including several cafes, restaurants, and the light rail all within walking distance — De Burgh will offer residents exclusive facilities spread across the two buildings. These include a rooftop garden with barbecue facilities, a fully equipped gym, a residents’ lounge, and a parcel locker service.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=218009]

In a move to enhance everyday living, JWLand has placed a strong focus on resident lifestyle. There will be a smartphone app that will allow residents to control lighting and air conditioning remotely as standard.

JWLand’s in-house construction team is forecasting completion in Q3 2025, with all residents expected to move in well before Christmas.

Melbourne developer <a href="/developers/beulah">Beulah</a> has seen an uptick in interstate buyers at its sustainable, heritage-focused townhouse project, <a href="/new-townhouses/brunswick-established-23-hodgson-st-brunswick-vic-3056">Brunswick Established</a>.

Five recent purchasers are looking to move to Victoria and into the homes when they complete in late 2026.

The purchasers come as&nbsp;homebuyer sentiment in the state reached a three-year high just last month, rebounding to outright optimism in March. The Westpac Consumer Sentiment Index showed a 15.3 per cent jump to 106 points. This followed an 11 per cent gain in February - the biggest across all states.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136451 project_image_fid=333959]

Brunswick Established’s new interstate residents comprise a mix of early downsizers, professionals, business owners, retirees, and multigenerational families.

Although buyer demographics vary, purchasers were drawn to the project for its focus on sustainability and circular living and the rare level of customisation encouraged. This allows residents to shape homes around evolving life stages, from complete kitchen redesigns to home pottery studios and intergenerational layouts.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136451 project_image_fid=270371]

Beulah co-founder Adelene Teh said she was confident the project would be well-received by prospective buyers looking for sustainable, circular, and customisable living, but the team was thrilled with the rapid uptake of the townhomes, from both local and interstate buyers.&nbsp;

“To be able to accommodate a vast array of family make-ups, each with individual needs and preferences, all within the one cohesively-designed development, is a triumph the team is very proud of," Teh says.

"We haven’t yet seen this done to such a degree, especially with Brunswick Established’s deep commitment to sustainable and circular living at each touchpoint."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136451 project_image_fid=278310]

There has been a buyer who wants to live around the corner from her family and grandchildren who has installed a lift to suit her physical needs. A Queenslander family is moving out of their family home to enjoy the Melbourne lifestyle and be closer to their family&nbsp;in Brunswick and their business’s head office.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Located at 23 Hodgson Street, Brunswick Established comprises 23 unique townhomes designed by <a href="/architects/six-degrees-architects">Six Degrees Architects</a>.

Beulah and Six Degrees have created a residential precinct that celebrates Brunswick’s historic character and champions an advanced model for sustainable urban living.&nbsp;

Brunswick Established is currently under construction. A limited number of three and four-bedroom townhomes remain, priced from $1.87 million, with up to $146,000 in stamp duty savings available.

Gold Coast developer <a href="/developers/alroe-constructions">Alroe</a> is approaching a full sellout at The Finn, its premium boutique development in Mermaid Beach.

Six of the eight apartments in the Albatross Avenue development have sold, predominantly to local downsizers. The final two villas are now for sale.

The remaining villas – priced from $3 million – include a ground-floor residence, Villa 1, which will be marketed through a standard expressions of interest campaign, and an upper-level residence, Villa 6, which will be open for inspection from April 19 ahead of a scheduled auction event on May 8.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113112 project_image_fid=347272]

There have been more than $23.5 million worth of sales in The Finn, something&nbsp;Tye Alroe, CEO of Alroe, says reflects a broader market shift as long-time homeowners in central Gold Coast suburbs look to capitalise on capital growth and secure luxury homes with less maintenance, without compromising on lifestyle.

“We’re seeing a continued push from established locals who are selling large family homes and opting for a premium residence in familiar, well-connected locations,” Alroe said.

“The Finn meets that need – it’s low-density, design-led, and offers the level of sophistication buyers expect when downsizing from multimillion-dollar homes.”

Sales have averaged close to $4 million, underlining sustained demand in the top end of the market.

“This is a segment that’s growing rapidly – equity-rich locals, including downsizers and professionals, want space, style and proximity to lifestyle amenities without moving into high-rise buildings," Alroe added.

“Our strategy has always been to deliver premium boutique residences in blue-chip locations that offer lasting value, and The Finn is a direct result of that focus.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113112 project_image_fid=347271]

Positioned just metres from Hedges Avenue and within walking distance of the beach, The Finn features eight architecturally designed villas ranging in size from 214 sqm to 390 sqm.

Each residence includes expansive three-bedroom layouts, private pools or rooftop terraces, and curated landscaping to enhance privacy and liveability. The design draws on coastal-inspired materials and finishes, including Venetian render, 
travertine stone, large-format floor plans, and three-metre ceilings.

Each residence also includes dedicated home offices, private garages, and multiple living zones tailored for owner-occupiers.

With new luxury townhouse supply in central locations remaining limited, The Finn has resonated with a niche yet deep buyer pool – primarily local, equity-rich, and intent on staying close to family and familiar lifestyle precincts.

The project follows the success of <a href="/new-apartments/lune-main-beach-19-21-rankin-parade-main-beach-qld-4217">Alroe’s Lune at Main Beach</a> and continues the developer’s strategy of delivering boutique residential offerings in high-demand coastal suburbs.

One-bedroom apartments in Brisbane's hot new and off the plan property market are few and far between.

Auspace Developments Group however has carved out a pocket in Gaythorne, less than 10km north of Brisbane, where they're offering one-bedroom apartments in their new development from just $600,000.

<a href="/new-apartments/astra-apartments-gaythorne-16-station-avenue-gaythorne">Astra Apartments</a> will comprise just&nbsp;12 one and two-bedroom residences in the heart of the small northern suburb between Alderley and Everton Park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148948 project_image_fid=320220]

The apartments reflect careful planning, with sizes ranging up to 158 sqm, including expansive courtyards and patios, providing generous living spaces uncommon in many new developments.&nbsp;

The interiors are designed with practicality and longevity in mind. Kitchens feature Italian-made Ariston appliances, including induction cooktops and integrated dishwashers, alongside soft-close storage solutions.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148948 project_image_fid=320224]

&nbsp;

Astra is strategically located less than 100m from <a href="/developments/gaythorne-qld-4051">Gaythorne</a> Station, which is just 24 minutes to the CBD.

Leading Australian developer TOGA Group has released the final stage of residences at its iconic Surry Hills Village precinct.

The last three completed terraces, known as the Marriott Street Terraces, will likely sell between $3.7 million and $3.9 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=342101]

SJB Director Adam Haddow, a Surry Hills local who designed the terraces, says terrace housing&nbsp;is synonymous with inner-city living in Sydney.

"At Surry Hills Village, each terrace has been individually designed with its own identity, a playful street presence, and generous courtyards at its heart," Haddow said.

"These homes are made for entertaining, thoughtfully balancing privacy and abundant natural light, all while closely connected to the surrounding retail, restaurants, cafes, and everyday essentials that anchor the community at Surry Hills Village.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=342097]

Each three-bedroom, three-bathroom terrace comes with a prized car space, a rarity for terraces in the Surry Hills/Redfern area.

They span two levels and feature a&nbsp;landscaped courtyard garden, a separate alfresco terrace with built-in Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and a functional scullery to ensure maximum preparation space while keeping sleek aesthetics in mind.

Each terrace’s striking facade reflects the Surry Hills iconic streetscape and allows natural light to fill spacious living areas and an effortless transition between outdoor entertaining areas and oversized indoor areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=342093]

The terraces are close to one of Sydney’s most sought-after new dining and shopping precincts, Wunderlich Lane with the hottest restaurants like Olympus Dining, Lottie and Bar Julius, all only 15 minutes from Sydney CBD.

Paul Shaw, Executive General Manager of TOGA Group, said it is rare to find a development that offers such strong synergy between space, privacy and connectivity.

"Residents can enjoy the oversized living areas, secluded communal gardens and private underground parking, while only being a walk away from the vibrant cultural offerings of Wunderlich Lane," Shaw said.

"The final three terraces of our exclusive Marriott Street collection offer a new way of modern living which has resonated strongly with both the community and the buyer market.”

For several years, a prime development site on Upper Heidelberg Road in Ivanhoe—the gateway to one of Melbourne’s most exclusive north-eastern suburbs—sat vacant.

After a few delays Salter Brothers, one of Australia's leading alternative investment managers, acquired the 2,445 sqm block.

Construction is now set to begin on <a href="/new-apartments/candela-ivanhoe-40-upper-heidelberg-road-ivanhoe">Candela Ivanhoe</a>, the only off the plan apartment development currently available in the area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=212227]

The brief for architect John Demos was to design a building that would embrace the unique shape of the site allowing for maximum light and flexible floor plan options that would appeal to a diverse range of buyers. The result is a boutique, six-level development comprising 62 apartments, offering a mix of one, two, three, and four-bedroom configurations.

Kathy Demos handled the interior designs for the apartments, focusing on functionality and sustainability. The building has been designed to deliver a 7-star average energy rating average outlined in the Building Code of Australia.

Candela - the influence of light - inspired the name of the building, as all apartments are designed to enhance daylight access in all living areas and bedrooms, reducing the reliance on electric lighting and increasing the wellbeing of residents. Renewable Energy A 25kW Solar PV system will be installed on the roof to help power the communal areas and reduce owners' corporation contribution.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=336455]

In addition to introducing new apartment living to a suburb traditionally dominated by detached houses, Salter Brothers is also bringing a number of amenities to Ivanhoe. The apartments will sit above a providore, and commercial spaces—encouraging resident interaction while serving the wider community. Residents will also enjoy private amenities, including a landscaped communal rooftop terrace for resident use.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=169534]

Arguably, Candela’s biggest drawcard is its location. Boasting a Walk Score of 90 out of 100, the development is just a six-minute walk from Ivanhoe Station and is surrounded by cafés, restaurants, parks, and schools. In this highly walkable neighbourhood, owning a car is truly optional.

Construction will soon commence on Candela, with completion expected toward the end of 2026.

Kingsford Direct Director Sonia Fava says Candela has been worth the wait for owner-occupiers seeking to secure a home in the brilliantly located Ivanhoe Village.
