<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> has lodged plans for a $750 million, three-tower mixed-use precinct that would complete the long-running redevelopment of Carlton's former Carlton United Breweries site.

The proposal at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/185-195-queensberry-street-carlton-vic-3053">46-78 Bouverie Street and 185-195 Queensberry Street</a> spans a 6,468 sqm site, the last remaining undeveloped parcels within the former brewery's 2007 masterplan.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the development will comprise two purpose-built student accommodation towers and a third build-to-sell apartment tower above a shared commercial podium and basement.

Across the three towers, SP Setia is proposing 606 build-to-sell apartments and 1,499 student accommodation units containing 2,009 beds.

The apartments will sit in the tallest tower, which will rise nearly 200m and 55 storeys. It will become&nbsp;one of the more substantial new build-to-sell apartment projects at the northern edge of Melbourne's CBD.

The apartment mix is weighted toward smaller inner-city product, with 188 studios, 206 one-bedroom apartments, 192 two-bedroom apartments and 20 three-bedroom apartments

<img alt="First look: SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8271bc87-1b0a-41b7-ac73-a425ee375261" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/3_2.png?VersionId=G4lw23o90B1boX4k4dj7rdz2ZEajS9wy" />

Part of the precinct will be a large-scale&nbsp;3,684 sqm supermarket and a further 2,198 sqm of speciality retail, creating close to 5,900 sqm of new commercial space within the precinct.

But one of the biggest components of the proposal is what sits between the buildings.

Around 4,650 sqm, or roughly 72 per cent of the site, will be publicly accessible open space, incorporating plazas, pedestrian connections, landscaped laneways and retail spill-out areas.

The ground plane is intended to finally complete pedestrian connections envisaged when the CUB masterplan was first approved nearly two decades ago, stitching together Victoria Street, Queensberry Street, Bouverie Street and Swanston Street through the former brewery precinct.

Urbis said the development would "complete the CUB precinct", with the public realm providing important north-south and east-west connections through what is currently the final undeveloped portion of the masterplanned site.

SP Setia is also exploring a new linear park within the Bouverie Street road reserve, with the concept to be developed further with the City of Melbourne through the planning process.

The proposal is being pursued through the Victorian Government's Development Facilitation Program under Clause 53.23 for significant residential development with affordable housing.

The planning report acknowledges the proposed heights exceed those contemplated under the original Comprehensive Development Plan and masterplan, but argues the built-form context has changed considerably over the past two decades.

Urbis said the three towers would instead create a stepped transition between Carlton and the Hoddle Grid, rising progressively from the 94.1-metre Tower One along the Queensberry Street edge to the 199.44-metre Tower Three closer to the established CBD-scale buildings to the south.

<img alt="SP Setia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e885a07a-592c-40fc-bf82-e6dbaf32da54" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.52.24%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7s_ErUkSKAdY1mAWp3GRZgMNCGtwhk5m" />

SP Setia plans to deliver the development across three stages.

Stage One would deliver the basement, podium and retail areas for the entire precinct alongside the first student tower. Tower Two would follow in Stage Two, before the 606-apartment Tower Three is delivered as the final stage.

If approved and delivered, the project would close out a redevelopment process that has been underway since the former brewery masterplan was approved in 2007, adding more than 2,600 student beds and apartments to a precinct already home to Swanston Central, the Barak Building, RMIT Design Hub and several large student accommodation developments.

SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct

Melbourne developer Lowe Living is seeking to add to its growing bayside apartment pipeline, filing plans for a boutique eight-residence development in tightly held Middle Park.

Lowe Living, which has built much of its development portfolio across Melbourne's affluent bayside and south-east suburbs, is behind the plans for the 730 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/123-125-erskine-street-middle-park-vic-3206">123-125 Erskine Street</a>, just off Armstrong Street and within the Armstrong Street Neighbourhood Activity Centre.

The developer is seeking approval for a five-storey residential building above two basement levels, with just eight large-format apartments and 18 car spaces.

“This is a deliberately very different proposition for us,"&nbsp;Tim Lowe, Co-Founder of Lowe Living, said.

"Eight residences is exceptionally boutique, but that's precisely what this site calls for.

“There is a strong community in Middle Park and the surrounding suburbs who have spent decades building a life here. They no longer want the maintenance of a large period home, but they aren't prepared to compromise on space, quality or location. We think there is a real opportunity to capture that hyper local market. A site like this rarely comes to market.”

<img alt="Lowe " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="875fe572-0f14-4d90-9e11-55b28dd07731" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.42.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=GDNQRv9BfpR9r1zkZ5UDyUM4ZvpIksut" />

The low-density proposal has been designed by Cera Stribley and is being progressed through the Victorian Government's Great Design Fast Track pathway, having already secured eligibility from the Minister for Planning.

The Office of the Victorian Government Architect supported its eligibility after finding the proposal demonstrated consistency with the program's seven design principles, while the project's financial feasibility has also been independently confirmed by Invest Victoria.

The project is targeting the downsizer market, with the planning documents describing the homes as larger-format residences and noting the two penthouses could otherwise have been configured as four separate apartments.

<img alt="Lowe 2" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="60ab0987-2da6-4175-adac-315dcf6053c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.15%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=bOCPH0B2MFwlmaRW.TTCF9TzyifgVoQI" />

The site has dual frontage to Erskine Street and Canterbury Place and currently comprises a collection of commercial buildings used as offices, including a former heritage bakehouse, a former stable, a later gabled addition and a central courtyard.

It sits within the Commercial 1 Zone and the Armstrong Street Commercial Precinct heritage overlay, with the existing property classified as a contributory heritage place.

Heritage has subsequently played a significant role in Cera Stribley's design.

The front section of the former bakehouse facing Erskine Street will be retained, including its return walls, street-facing hipped roof and chimneys, while the Erskine Street façade and part of the western return wall of the former stable will also be incorporated into the new development.

Levels four and five will be set back five metres from the retained stable façade, while bricks removed through demolition are proposed to be salvaged and reused within the new building where possible.

<img alt="Lowe 3" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e97927a9-a2de-4a0f-83b6-65451238abfa" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.06%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VR44AChLrX9q1XPB9GvVQV.ALXXbe4gC" />

Rather than presenting as a single five-storey building to Erskine Street, Cera Stribley has broken the development into a series of distinct forms.

A three-storey infill element will sit between the retained bakehouse and stable façades, with the upper levels recessed behind the heritage fabric. Canterbury Place will similarly feature two three-storey podium forms, separated by a central pedestrian accessway, before the upper two levels step back from the street.

A pedestrian through-link will run through the centre of the project between Erskine Street and Canterbury Place, creating entrances from both sides of the site and introducing landscaping and communal areas through the ground plane.

Landscape architect Acre has designed planting across the ground level, private terraces and upper levels, including a feature canopy tree at level three and integrated planting and arbours across the level four terraces. Five existing Erskine Street trees are proposed to be retained.

Sustainability is also a significant component of the Great Design Fast Track application. The apartments are targeting an average eight-star NatHERS rating, with no residence below 6.5 stars, while the project has achieved a 75 per cent BESS score. Seven of the eight apartments are designed for cross-ventilation, with the remaining residence using mechanically assisted natural ventilation.

The plans also incorporate an 8kWp rooftop solar system, a 5,000-litre rainwater tank and infrastructure allowing future electric vehicle charging for every residence.

Lowe has a strong portfolio across Melbourne's blue-chip suburbs. They recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/jardin-house-by-lowe-living-camberwell-335-camberwell-road-camberwell-vic-3124">Jardin House by Lowe Living</a> in Camberwell, their first development in the Stonnington LGA.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dvb-projects">DVB Projects</a> is preparing to launch its second Gold Coast apartment development, with demolition now underway on the Broadbeach site as the Sydney developer moves closer to bringing the ultra-luxury project to market.

The 34-level tower at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/137-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">137 Old Burleigh Road</a> will comprise just 49 residences, ranging from half-floor apartments through to full-floor homes and a penthouse. The launch follows the strong sales performance of DVB's nearby Sea Glass development. More than half of the apartments at Sea Glass, on the other side of Broadbeach, have been snapped up, well ahead of its late 2027 completion

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2944b4be-c84e-4b54-8dc1-c712e76704c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/E02_Exterior_Street%20Level%20Entrance.jpg?VersionId=YoNig7pRdrE3HCue7sUj78LzJteeQf3H" />

The start of demolition at 137 Old Burleigh Road signals DVB Projects’ underlying confidence in the Gold Coast’s luxury beachside apartment sector.

“We see the Gold Coast as one of the most compelling lifestyle markets in Australia, particularly at the premium end where demand continues to deepen,” said Dean Brown, Managing Director of DVB.&nbsp;

“This project has been carefully designed to respond to that demand - delivering large-format residences with a level of quality, privacy and amenity that is still relatively rare in the apartment market on the beachside."

Brown says the site itself is "exceptional."

"Old Burleigh Road is one of the most tightly held beachfront strips, and opportunities to deliver a project of this scale and calibre in this location are extremely limited.”

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="398f377a-c037-455e-9250-0c5e0d84c35b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/I12_FF%20Balcony.jpg?VersionId=NwOiRWGMubR1c8wthuEfggklcja7al9." />

The project will comprise 40 half-floor residences of approximately 260 sqm, alongside eight full-floor residences spanning around 524 sqm.

A single penthouse will crown the building, featuring a private pool, barbecue area, indoor gym and dedicated entertaining spaces.

Residents will have access to a resort-style suite of amenities, including a 20-metre pool with daybeds, a gymnasium, hot and cold plunge pools, a sauna, and private residents’ lounge and dining facilities.

Sales agent Todd Matheson, of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/pezet-matheson">Pezet Matheson</a>, which is marketing both 137 Old Burleigh Road and Sea Glass, said 137 Old Burleigh Road would address a clear gap in the market for genuine luxury products.

“There are very few opportunities on the Gold Coast where buyers can secure a residence of this size and quality in a new building,” Matheson said.

“What we’re seeing is a growing cohort of downsizers and interstate buyers who still want space - they’re not willing to compromise on living area, entertaining or finishes.

“This project has been designed with that buyer in mind. It offers the scale of a home, combined with the convenience and security of apartment living, in one of the coast’s most desirable positions.”

Located on a 1,156 sqm site one block from the beachfront, the development will replace an ageing walk-up building and is expected to contribute to the ongoing transformation of the Old Burleigh Road strip into one of the Gold Coast’s most prestigious residential corridors.

With the development moving into the delivery phase, 137 Old Burleigh Road is slated to hit the market later this year.

DVB Projects to launch second Broadbeach apartment tower as demolition commences

<a data-end="327" data-is-only-node="" data-start="250" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/norus-projects" rel="noopener" target="_new">Norus Developments</a> has lodged plans for a new apartment development in Clayton that would add further momentum to the suburb's emerging Green Street corridor.

Plans have been lodged for the consolidated site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1359-1365-centre-road-clayton-vic-3168">1359-1365 Centre Road</a>, where Norus is seeking approval for 218 apartments across a 12-storey apartment building designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/life-architecture-and-urban-design">Life Architecture</a>.

The proposal sits within the Clayton Major Activity Centre at the threshold of the planned Green Street corridor, a landscaped pedestrian connection intended to improve links through the precinct towards Clayton Railway Station.

The development would replace the site's existing collection of low-scale residential and commercial buildings with a single consolidated building, introducing significantly greater housing density to this part of Centre Road.

A retail tenancy is proposed at ground level to activate the Centre Road frontage, accompanied by transparent street interfaces and landscaping intended to create a more pedestrian-focused edge to the development.

<img alt="First look: Norus Developments plans landscape-led apartment project for Clayton’s emerging Green Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0a5a763a-d9e9-4253-af2f-88008de27ebf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Clayton%20a.png?VersionId=S2WJJbat1XVkZwB9SnYtygirXgWHiklX" />

The building has been designed with stepped massing and upper-level setbacks to manage its transition towards surrounding residential properties. The planning report describes the approach as one that integrates the building into the landscape rather than treating landscaping as a secondary element.

"A strong landscape and public realm strategy underpins the proposal," Urbis states in the planning report.

"Public benefits include an affordable housing contribution, a new pocket park, generous landscaped setbacks, deep soil planting and integrated Water Sensitive Urban Design."

The report adds that these elements are intended to create "a permeable, pedestrian-focused ground plane that enhances walkability, supports urban cooling and reinforces the emerging Green Street character."

Biophilic and passive design principles extend through the residential levels, with planting, daylight, natural ventilation and views towards landscaped areas forming part of the amenity strategy.

Parking would be concentrated away from the public realm, with 145 car spaces proposed from the rear laneway rather than dominating the Centre Road frontage.

The proposal follows an extensive pre-application process with the City of Monash. Three formal meetings were held between the project team and Council from December 2025 to March 2026, with the scheme evolving through several concept iterations before the current design was lodged.

The project arrives as Clayton prepares for substantial change around its established activity centre and the wider Suburban Rail Loop precinct. Its position on Centre Road places the development within an existing concentration of shops, services and public transport, while the Green Street connection is intended to strengthen pedestrian access towards Clayton Railway Station.

Gardner Vaughan Group breaks ground on first Gold Coast development, Bronze on Chevron

Sydney’s property market is known for high prices, competitive bidding, and mounting pressure on first home buyers. But change is on the horizon.

From late 2025, eligible first home buyers in New South Wales will have access to a new federal government initiative aimed at addressing affordability: the Help to Buy Scheme.&nbsp;

<h2>What is the Help to Buy Scheme?</h2>

The program introduces a shared equity model intended to reduce the upfront cost of entering the property market, particularly in high-demand urban areas such as Sydney.

The scheme operates under a shared ownership structure in which the federal government takes an equity stake of up to 40 per cent for new homes, or 30 per cent for existing dwellings. This arrangement allows eligible buyers to significantly reduce their loan size and avoid the added cost of Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).

Under this model, purchasers can enter the property market with as little as a two per cent deposit, well below the traditional 10 to 20 per cent usually required. The government’s contribution is not a loan but a co-ownership stake in the property. As such, there is no interest or rent charged on its portion.

Because the government’s equity combined with the buyer’s deposit typically meets or exceeds the 20 per cent threshold, LMI does not apply. The remaining balance, generally between 60 and 70 per cent of the property’s value, is financed through a standard home loan with a participating lender.

The government's equity in the property remains in place until the buyer chooses to repay it voluntarily or until the property is sold. Buyers can buy back the government’s share over time, in increments of at least five per cent, depending on their financial situation.

There is no fixed repayment timeline, but the amount to be repaid will be based on the property's market value at the time of repayment, not the original purchase price.

<h2>How do you qualify for the&nbsp;Help to Buy Scheme?</h2>

To qualify for the Help to Buy Scheme, applicants must meet the following conditions:

<ul>
	<li>Be an Australian citizen at least 18 years of age.</li>
	<li>Be a first-home buyer who does not currently own property.</li>
	<li>Intend to live in the property as their primary residence.</li>
	<li>Earn less than $100,000 per year for individuals, or $160,000 for couples.</li>
	<li>Purchase a property within the regional price caps, currently $950,000 in Sydney, though this is expected to rise to approximately $1.3 million ahead of the program’s launch.</li>
</ul>

While the Help to Buy Scheme does not solve affordability challenges across the board, it does offer a more accessible pathway for a defined segment of the market, particularly younger buyers with moderate incomes who have been priced out of traditional lending routes.

The scheme is expected to commence in NSW in late 2025, as part of a national rollout.

Under the new model, purchasers can enter the property market with as little as a two per cent deposit, well below the traditional 10 to 20 per cent usually required

Help to Buy Scheme: What first home buyers in NSW need to know

The First Home Owners Grant (FHOG) is a government initiative designed to help eligible first-time home buyers by offering financial assistance towards the purchase or construction of a new home.

While the FHOG is a nationwide program, it is administered separately by each state and territory, meaning the eligibility criteria, grant amounts, and property requirements can vary depending on your location. This means that the amount available and the conditions attached to the grant will differ, so it is important to check the specific guidelines for your state or territory.

It’s important to note that the FHOG is just one of several incentives available to first home buyers. In most states and territories, the grant is not linked to stamp duty exemptions or concessions, with the exception of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The FHOG is typically a one-off payment, reducing the overall cost of purchasing or building a new home before any stamp duty concessions are applied.

Below, we provide a breakdown of the First Home Owner Grants available across Australia, outlining the specific details for each state and territory.

<h2>New South Wales First Home Owner Grant</h2>

First Home Owner Grant: Offers a $10,000 grant for new homes valued up to $600,000. For land purchases and owner-builders, the threshold extends to $750,000.

Stamp Duty Relief: Available for new homes and vacant land purchases.

<h2>Tasmania First Home Owner Grant</h2>

First Home Owner Grant: Offers a $10,000 grant for new homes and off the plan purchases.

Stamp Duty Exemption: Between 18 February 2024 and 30 June 2026, first home buyers of established homes valued up to $750,000 receive a full exemption on property transfer duty.

<h2>Northern Territory First Home Owner Grant</h2>

Stamp Duty Exemption: The only stamp duty exemption available to property buyers is the House and Land Package Exemption (HLPE).

Eligibility criteria and application processes differ across states. Prospective buyers should refer to their respective state revenue offices for full details on grant availability, conditions, and additional concessions.

Every First Home Owner Grant for new property by state

In the ever-evolving landscape of sustainable architecture and environmentally conscious design, systems and ratings in place can help determine the energy efficiency of residential buildings in Australia.

Australia has multiple building rating systems that evaluate energy efficiency and sustainability in existing and new building designs.

Some systems assess individual building components, while others provide an overall rating for the entire structure.

A rating system ensures that homes are comfortable and energy-efficient, whether you are buying, renovating, or building.

NatHERS (Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme) is a common way for new homes to meet energy efficiency requirements.

As new developments continue to shape the urban environment, understanding NatHERS ratings becomes essential for developers and homeowners. This article delves into the concept of NatHERS ratings, their significance, and how they contribute to creating energy-efficient homes.

<h2>What is NatHERS?</h2>

NatHERS is a national initiative implemented by the Australian government to promote energy efficiency in residential buildings. The scheme aims to provide a standardised method for assessing the thermal performance of homes, considering factors such as insulation, orientation, ventilation, and building materials.&nbsp;

NatHERS ratings are the most common way new homes meet the National Construction Code's (NCC's) minimum energy efficiency requirements.&nbsp;

NatHERS assessments provide thermal and whole-home ratings for new homes, townhouses, and apartments.

The rating helps evaluate the energy performance of buildings, guides homeowners and developers to make informed decisions about the energy efficiency of their properties, and encourages the construction of more sustainable, comfortable, and cost-effective homes.

<h2>How NatHERS Ratings Work</h2>

NatHERS ratings are determined through four accredited software tools (AccuRate, BERS Pro, FirstRate5, HERO) using a calculation engine CSIRO developed to predict building temperature based on various factors.

The tools can model complex effects of building mass, insulation, window size, and other elements.

The outcome is a star rating that reflects the building's overall thermal efficiency, indicating how well it can maintain a comfortable indoor temperature without excessive reliance on heating or cooling systems.

The star rating scale ranges from 0 to 10, with a 6-star rating being the minimum requirement for compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC).&nbsp;

Achieving a higher star rating demonstrates a commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability, as the building is better equipped to minimise its environmental impact and reduce long-term energy costs.

Anyone can use NatHERS tools, but accredited assessors can provide certified ratings and professional advice.

<h2>Benefits of Higher NatHERS Ratings</h2>

Energy Efficiency: Buildings with higher NatHERS ratings are more energy-efficient, requiring less heating and cooling energy. This reduces the structure's carbon footprint and lowers occupants' energy bills.

Cost Savings: Homes with higher NatHERS ratings are generally more energy-efficient, resulting in reduced energy consumption for heating and cooling. This translates to lower energy bills for homeowners, making sustainable living environmentally friendly and economically viable in the long run.

Environmental Impact: Lower energy consumption directly translates to a reduced environmental impact. Buildings with higher NatHERS ratings contribute to the overall goal of mitigating climate change by lowering greenhouse gas emissions associated with heating and cooling systems.

Improved Comfort: Buildings with high NatHERS ratings offer better thermal comfort to occupants. Proper insulation, well-designed ventilation, and optimal orientation maintain a consistent and comfortable indoor temperature, providing occupants with a more enjoyable and healthier space.

Market Value and Desirability: Higher NatHERS ratings can enhance the market value of a property. As energy efficiency becomes a more significant consideration for homebuyers, a well-rated building may attract a premium price and stand out in the real estate market.

Compliance with Building Codes: NatHERS ratings are a vital component of the National Construction Code (NCC), and compliance with these ratings is often a mandatory requirement for new developments. Local councils and planning authorities may set minimum energy efficiency standards that must be met to obtain development approval.

The Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) is a crucial initiative shaping the future of energy-efficient, resilient, and cost-effective homes. With its recent upgrades, NatHERS has evolved into a world-leading tool for the building sector, supporting the global commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

What is a NatHERS rating in new off the plan apartment developments?

Mixed-use developments have gained significant popularity across Australia in recent years due to their unique blend of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces.

Unlike traditional single-purpose developments, mixed-use projects offer a harmonious integration of various functions within a single locale.

Residential units seamlessly coexist with commercial establishments, retail outlets, dining venues, entertainment hubs, and recreational facilities, with the combination not only enhances convenience but also fosters a vibrant lifestyle and a sense of community.

<h3>Convenience and accessibility</h3>

Mixed-use developments are designed with convenience in mind. They often integrate residential units with commercial spaces, retail outlets, restaurants, and recreational facilities, creating a self-contained community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204874]

The proximity allows residents to enjoy the convenience of having essential amenities and services within walking distance. Whether it's grabbing a cup of coffee, going grocery shopping, or accessing healthcare services, everything is conveniently located, saving residents time and effort.

<h3>Vibrant lifestyle and community</h3>

One of the major advantages of mixed-use developments is the vibrant lifestyle they offer. With a diverse range of amenities and communal spaces, residents have ample opportunities to interact, socialise, and build a sense of community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=214122]

The presence of parks, community centres, and shared spaces fosters a lively atmosphere, encouraging residents to engage in various activities and events. The vibrant lifestyle within these developments creates a unique sense of belonging and camaraderie among the residents.

<h3>Potential for higher rental yields and property value appreciation</h3>

Mixed-use developments tend to attract a broad range of tenants and buyers due to their versatile nature. This high demand can result in higher rental yields for investors and potentially lead to property value appreciation over time.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=212887]

The integration of commercial and retail spaces attracts businesses, which can provide a stable rental income stream. Additionally, the popularity of mixed-use developments often drives up property values, making them a potentially lucrative investment in the long term.

<h3>Enhanced security and maintenance</h3>

Mixed-use developments typically have comprehensive security measures in place. With controlled access points, CCTV surveillance, and professional security staff, residents can enjoy enhanced safety and peace of mind.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=212658]

Additionally, these developments often have dedicated maintenance teams responsible for the upkeep of common areas, landscaping, and infrastructure. This ensures that the overall appearance and functionality of the development are well-maintained, creating a pleasant living environment for residents.

<h3>Live-work-play balance</h3>

One of the key attractions of mixed-use developments is the ability to achieve a desirable live-work-play balance. The integration of residential and commercial spaces allows residents to live closer to their workplaces, reducing commuting time and improving work-life balance.

The proximity to various amenities and recreational facilities encourages an active and healthy lifestyle. Residents can easily access fitness centres, parks, restaurants, and entertainment options, all within the same development, leading to a more fulfilling and convenient way of life.

The top five reasons to buy in a mixed-use development

When buying a property, everyone needs to be aware of the additional costs that come as part of the buying process.

Often the largest outlay, after the deposit which goes to the bank, is stamp duty.

<h2 style="line-height: 1.38;">What is Stamp Duty?</h2>

Stamp duty is an extra tax to pay the government when you buy land, a property, and other certain assets.

It happens when the legal ownership is transferred. It can also be known as property transfer duty or transfer duty.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="415" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C32BWkB5--c" title="YouTube video player" width="660"></iframe>

<h2>Who pays Stamp Duty?</h2>

In some circumstances, you may get an exemption. For some states, you won’t have to pay for stamp duty if you are a first home buyer or a pensioner for houses under a particular price. There are also stamp duty concessions, where you may be entitled to a discount.

<h2>How much does Stamp Duty cost?</h2>

Each state has different rules which affect how much you need to pay. These rules can affect the rate you pay, and the timeframe you will need to pay in. Before you buy land or a property, make sure you check the up-to-date information for your state’s stamp duty.

You can use a free stamp duty calculator online to see approximately how much you’ll need to pay. Find out if you’re eligible for an exemption by enquiring on a project via Urban!

Overall, the stamp duty you need to pay will depend on:

Off-the-plan property explained: What is stamp duty?

Harry Triguboff's apartment giant Meriton has revealed the full plans for its debut apartment development in Brisbane.

Having bought the Gardens Apartments building at <a href="/new-apartments/204-alice-street-brisbane">204 Alice Street last year</a>, <a href="/developers/meriton">Meriton</a> has filed plans for two massive skyscrapers with 795 apartments designed by their go-to architect in Queensland DBI, who has designed Meriton's recent Gold Coast portfolio.

The $1.3 billion development on the 5,485 sqm site directly across the road from the City Botanic Gardens from the Alice Street frontage, will also include a childcare centre, retail and food and beverage spaces, and communal open space facilities like swimming pools, an outdoor gym and play space on the level five podium level, before it gives way to the main tower structure.

<img alt="Alice St Brisbane" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="724f2714-7819-4b3f-bc80-6358ab5cb9fb" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-01-10%20at%208.48.32%20am.png?VersionId=YmnsitwRbYgiW33GJ4xxve8r4_D6C8Yh" />

The majority of apartments are two-beds (521), while every one-bedroom apartment (208) has a study. There's 156 three-bedroom apartments and 32 four-bedders.

There's 913 parking spaces across the five basement levels and four podium levels.

DBI said in their Urban Design Context Report submitted to the <a href="/new-apartments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a> City Council that the&nbsp;two-tower development takes cues from the surrounding context including the city’s urban fabric as well as the Botanic Gardens and seeks to compliment the adjacent heritage and place character.

"The development is set to become a landmark Brisbane destination and provides a visable presence on the skyline of the city.

"The tower plates have been carefully shaped to maximise the amenity of future residents and visitors and provide generous balconies offering access to Brisbane’s outdoor lifestyle. The towers are strategically located to minimise overshadowing and over-dominating the Botanic Gardens. The sculpted subtropical podium conceals a multilevel carpark, sleeved by activated uses and features a double-height lobby framed by the backdrop of the Botanic Gardens."

<img alt="Meriton" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2d36ce6c-c90d-4b09-95f9-8c1bb093a16b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-01-10%20at%208.48.04%20am_0.png?VersionId=vXDDD85FhAZcyacVbmE1uVKkJgmFdYN0" />

They said 204 Alice Street is at "the centre of a critical mass of new activity, urban living and commerce."

"The area around 204 Alice Street is positioned for further dynamic growth in the years to come with a proposed transformation of the Eagle Street Pier Precinct into a world class mixed-use riverside destination, Waterfront Brisbane," DBI said.

"Another large-scale development within Brisbane’s CBD is the Queen’s Wharf project, set to transform the river’s edge into a cultural and entertainment precinct by April 2024, placing Brisbane on the international stage."

Tower A, positioned on the Alice Street frontage of the site, is the taller tower at 79 levels The slender tower is broken down into three golden beaks which reduces the built form's scale from podium to rooftop.&nbsp;

"The tower design draws inspiration from the neighbouring Botanical Gardens with a finer grain branch like pattern that invites a sense of movement and physically draws the eye away from the centre of the built form emphasising the towers articulated footprint and corners," DBI say.

The neighbouring tower, Tower M, references the Margaret Street frontage of the large site.

The upcoming design phases will include a Public Art Strategy to identify strategically located and integrated works of art that enhance and activate the site.

"The precinct has been designed to create a symbiotic relationship between the architecture and landscape," DBI added.

"Brisbane’s sub-tropical environment is reflected in the dense planting of the podium, outdoor terraces, and elevated green spaces, creating an ideal refuge for residents and visitors. Lush vegetation, natural stone and textured materials provide a sense of calm and tranquility that transitions the site towards the City Botanic Gardens."

<img alt="Meriton" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3ce546c9-b9c1-4a0a-9cb9-2e0e30b1b7f7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-01-10%20at%208.48.12%20am.png?VersionId=sU7NsvGPPCWz0V2CYLMyz4oO5HXMkUlm" />

Town Planning Report by Urban Planning Services said&nbsp;the proposed development will reinvigorate the subject site and its setting within the City Centre, delivering high-quality apartments in a well serviced centre of the City promising to improve the choice and availability of housing to meet the substantial demand presently being experienced in South-east Queensland.

The proposed redevelopment, providing new residential living opportunities in a location where residents will benefit from ease of access to all of the shops, services and attractions of the Brisbane CBD, including high frequency public transport services, and the greenspace and recreational opportunities afforded by the proximity to the City Botanical Gardens and river corridor, represents a logical and responsible approach to its renewal.

Overall, the proposed development will deliver a substantial investment in the rejuvenation of this centrally located site, securing efficient use of the site to provide much needed new housing opportunities, together with tourist accommodation and active commercial frontages, including a much sought pedestrian laneway through the site. The proposals will contribute positively to the economy and vitality of the City Centre.

In September&nbsp;<a href="/developers/meriton" target="">Meriton</a>&nbsp;was recognised as the busiest builder in Queensland for 2022-23, despite challenges in the construction sector.

The company has also been named Australia's top apartment builder in the HIA COLORBOND® Steel Housing Top 100 Report and has a 4.5 Gold Star iCIRT rating.

First look: Meriton's full plans for first Brisbane apartment development revealed

The landscape of Broadbeach is changing ever year.&nbsp;

Nearly two years ago I wrote a <a href="/news/qld/why-its-all-about-broadbeach-in-2022">piece about Broadbeach and its lifestyle and location factors</a> drawing both buyers and developers, with&nbsp;Mosaic Property boss Brook Monahan and CBRE Residential Gold Coast Projects Director Nick Clysdale explaining what it was about <a href="/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> that buyers and developers saw in the suburb just south of <a href="/developments/surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Surfers Paradise</a>.

Monahan put his money where he mouth was so to speak, securing two sites for his first two projects in the suburb, Marella by Mosaic and Lily by Mosaic, both of which have had huge sales success since launching.

Broadbeach has remained a top spot for developers since then, with a number of development sites transacting. There's a healthy mix of large scale, full-floor apartments for the more affluent buyer, and higher density two and three-bedroom apartmens which cater to a wider market.

A number of projects are looking like they'll go ahead in 2024. We've taken a look at five developments which caught our eye.

<h2>Project: SOLA Broadbeach</h2>

<h3>Location: 158 Surf Parade, Broadbeach QLD 4218</h3>

<h3>Developer: Ature Group</h3>

The Queensland-based&nbsp;AtureGroup, well known for the popular fashion boutique Sabo Skirt and Zaco, will launch SOLA Broadbeach this year on one of Broadbeach's most popular streets.

SOLA, located at 158 Surf Parade, is designed to cater to owner-occupiers, comprising 20 three-bedroom apartments across 22 levels.&nbsp;

Designed by Prospect Apartment Architecture, the development focuses on high-quality architectural expression, orienting the building towards the east to maximise parkland and ocean views while ensuring privacy from neighbouring buildings.&nbsp;

<img alt="SOLA Broadbeach" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="79fdeb92-619a-4eaa-a0c9-068920df580f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-01-09%20at%2010.08.58%20am.png?VersionId=.pZtFBbNKdhdkpzAMXoN7Wh07N20gTnA" />

Each 200 sqm apartment includes three bedrooms, a multi-purpose room, and a kitchen with a butler's pantry. The master suite features an ensuite and a walk-in wardrobe.

Residents will also have access to several amenities on the podium level including a wellness zone with a mineral spa, ice pools, gym, steam room, a sauna, a covered indoor-outdoor swimming pool and a communal deck area.

The Kouzoukas family, signalling confidence in the project, plans to retain several apartments for extended family use.&nbsp;

<h2>Project: Chelsea Avenue, Broadbeach</h2>

<h2>Location: 42-46 Chelsea Avenue, Broadbeach QLD 4218</h2>

<h3>Developer: Amalgamated Property Group</h3>

Following the successful launch of Amaya Broadbeach at 30 First Avenue, Canberra-based apartment developer Amalgamated Property Group (APG) is expected to launch its second Broadbeach project in as many years.

They snapped up an 1,820 sqm Chelsea Avenue site from Raptis, who had approved plans for a 41-level tower designed by Archidiom.

APG has had DBI make some amendments, changing the apartment mix to make 148 two-beds, a number with a study, and 37 three-bed apartments.

The recreational amenities for residents will be situated on the fourth level, offering a range of facilities such as a swimming pool, residents' lounge, community living area with barbecue and outdoor dining space, gardens, gym, sauna, and a yoga/meeting room.&nbsp;

<h2>Location: 33-37 Armrick Avenue, Broadbeach QLD 4218</h2>

<h3>Developer: Armrick Developments Pty Ltd</h3>

Former footballer Scott Crow is expected to launch his debut Gold Coast apartment development in Broadbeach after securing approval for the 33-level apartment tower in December.

The tower across an amalgamated 1,750 sqm triple site at 33 Armrick Avenue will home 203 one, two, three, and four-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

Plus Architecture designed the tall, curved tower, with the intention of the design to embrace the sub-tropical coastal lifestyle of the Gold Coast.

The recreation level, located on the third floor of the podium, offers a range of amenities, including a gym, outdoor lounge with a fire pit, yoga deck, cold pools, a large pool, floating day beds, a spa, private cabanas, sauna and steam rooms, barbecue areas, and a bar nook.

<img alt="Armrick" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8bb67bc5-12df-41eb-acae-39d12d5b8695" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-01-09%20at%2010.12.12%20am.png?VersionId=VKUoEjLeTgaAPBBSrh8JkCy7_x41_C8J" />

Apartment levels start from the fifth floor, with eight units per floor up to level 21. The upper levels of the tower feature a collection of sub-penthouses and penthouses.&nbsp;

Level 31 includes four sub-penthouses, each equipped with a master suite, additional bedrooms and bathrooms, a laundry room, a multi-purpose room, a butler's pantry, and an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space leading to a private outdoor area.

The development culminates in two mirroring two-storey penthouses featuring three bedrooms. The eastern side of the penthouses features a pool, sun deck, outdoor kitchen, barbecue area, dining space, and a fire pit.

The new tower will be located near Morris Property Group's Crest Broadbeach at 13 Armrick Avenue.&nbsp;

<h2>Project: Lusso Sky Homes Broadbeach</h2>

<h3>Location: 11 Anne Avenue, Broadbeach QLD 4218</h3>

<h3>Developer: Di Carlo Property Group</h3>

Brisbane-based Di Carlo Property Group is another who has development approval for their Broadbeach tower, Lusso Sky Homes.

Lusso, which means luxury in Italian, marks a return to the Gold Coast apartment market for the Brisbane-based developer.

The project at 11 Anne Avenue will comprise&nbsp;15 full-floor apartments designed by Hayes Anderson Lynch Architects.&nbsp;

The four-bedroom apartments offer over 200 sqm internally, complemented by a balcony of over 40 sqm.&nbsp;

<img alt="Di Carlo" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="08885c56-4b8b-441e-bb16-d7c71b96319b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-01-09%20at%2010.15.32%20am.png?VersionId=z.pypCcvmFHyPoo_kL2CNb7AhuHsp682" />

Alfie Di Carlo anticipates strong interest from local downsizers seeking spacious living without compromising on luxury and from interstate or Brisbane-based holidaymakers and weekenders seeking a high-end holiday home.

"We produce boutique, owner-occupier developments in Brisbane so we definitely wanted to stay in our lane and produce something that would service that type of buyer on the Gold Coast,"&nbsp;<a href="/developers/di-carlo-property-group" target="">Di Carlo</a>&nbsp;told Urban.

"Its a really nice pocket of the Gold Coast and it's always been on the agenda."

<h2>Location: 155 Old Burleigh Road</h2>

<h3>Developer: Polycell Group</h3>

It might be ambitious for Polycell Group, developer of The Rochester in Broadbeach which is over 50% sold on Surf Parade, to get to the stage of launching their second Gold Coast apartment development on Old Burleigh Road.

Last year Polycell acquired 19 apartments in the Sandpiper building at 155 Old Burleigh Road, paying&nbsp;$15.5 million for the apartments from developer Peter Priest of Trenert.

The Sandpiper building was at the centre of a legal dispute earlier in the year when Trenert decided to abandon its plans to buy out the remaining owners, claiming that rival developers used confidential information to secure apartments and thwart the redevelopment.

<img alt="Sandpiper" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1ea7dc21-37a0-46ec-98bd-641c0e9ecade" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-01-09%20at%2010.07.51%20am.png?VersionId=ibacJlFsngOGz_HJpCdo.H.O7D6S.Ku_" />

What to look out for in the Broadbeach off the plan apartment market in 2024

Sydney builder developer Luxcon Group's debut <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast apartment development</a>, Escape, is set to begin its construction phase after securing $75 million worth of sales in the Garfield Terrace, <a href="/developments/surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Surfers Paradise</a>&nbsp;building.

The $250 million <a href="/new-apartments/escape-surfers-paradise-63-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise">Escape</a> comprises 31 full-floor private residences and two double-level penthouses. Nine apartments have sold so far, predominantly to Gold Coast locals.

The apartments, priced from $6.45 million, each have 360-degree views of Gold Coast’s famous shoreline and its beaches, as well as the hinterland.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113448 project_image_fid=221791]

Project sales and marketing agency TOTAL Property Group saying the sales, secured before the display gallery was opened, demonstrated the “unprecedented” high demand for ultra-premium apartments in Gold Coast’s most desirable beachfront location.&nbsp;

TOTAL Property Group Managing Director Adrian Parsons says demand for Escape’s elite full-floor sky home apartments can be attributed to the absolute beachfront location, the quality of the architectural and interior design and confidence in the builder developer's reputation for the impeccable level of attention taken to deliver some of Australia’s most prestigious private apartment residences.

“Luxcon is a vertically integrated builder developer with a strong reputation for successfully delivering ultra-luxury residential projects in some of Australia’s most highly desirable and exclusive locations,” Parsons said.

“They have an impressive portfolio of award-winning high-end developments in Sydney and Melbourne’s exclusive residential areas and this gives prestige property purchasers a great deal of confidence when buying off the plan.

“Being an award-winning builder-developer that specialises in the construction and delivery of exclusive ultra-luxury residential projects, we expect apartment sales to increase when construction begins.

“The opportunity to develop a premium absolute beachfront site and an unprecedented demand for this type of luxury on the Gold Coast motivated Luxcon Group to create a premium apartment development and offer two different floor plans that meet the unique needs and wants of prestige property purchasers."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113448 project_image_fid=221792]

Buyers of the full-floor sky homes, designed by PBD Architecture with interiors by Coco Republic, have the option of two floorplan configurations that include one with a master bedroom on the beachfront for people who want to wake up and look at the ocean and the second floorplan for people who want to maximise their living and entertaining spaces looking out to the beach and ocean. The floorplans range from 311 sqm to 293 sqm.

Exclusive residents’ amenities include a beachfront pool, outdoor lounge and cabanas, surfboard storage, oceanfront business centre with boardroom facilities, private fitness centre, and sauna and steam room.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113448 project_image_fid=221790]

Parsons says the&nbsp;architectural design and two whole floors of extensive five-star amenities have been extremely favourable with apartment buyers.

<a href="/developers/luxcon-group">Luxcon Group’s </a>Founder and Managing Director Ilya Melnikoff said it was encouraging to see early market acceptance for the Group’s first Gold Coast development of five-star private sky home residences at Escape.

“Working with PBD Architecture, Coco Republic and TOTAL Property Group in planning Escape, the focus was to create a point of difference in the beachfront apartment living with Australia’s natural coastal beauty and complement the unique cosmopolitan style of the Gold Coast,” Melnikoff said.

“Our vision for Escape is to offer beachfront residences characterised by unparalleled style and quality.

"We are thrilled by the incredibly positive reception, particularly from local buyers who are demonstrating strong confidence in the development. As the builder and developer responsible for delivering this project, we will ensure the building will be delivered to the same ethos as we show in all of our marketing and past projects and philosophy that will follow throughout our project.”

Luxcon to commence construction on Escape, Surfers Paradise apartments after first release sellout

Veteran Brisbane developer <a href="/developers/stockwell">Stockwell</a> is continuing to expand its Fish Lane residential portfolio.

Their latest step in development surrounding the sought-after pocket toward the northern end of South Brisbane is a 30-level tower at <a href="/new-apartments/175-melbourne-street-south-brisbane">175 Melbourne Street</a>, South Brisbane, a 1,40 sqm site on the corner of Melbourne Street and Edmondstone Street. The site is next door to The Standard by ARIA Property Group, the developer of Fish Lane's buzzing retail and dining strip.

Stockwell, the family-run developer who has been developing in Brisbane since the early 1950s, is producing a heavily-targeted owner-occupier tower, with the majority of the 130 apartments four and five-bed. They're proposing just 27 two-beds and 25 three-beds, some 52 four-bedroom apartments, and 26 five-bedroom apartments.

The apartments will sit above a three-level parking podium and a ground level commercial tenancy, while resident amenity is provided in the form of a rooftop garden with a 17-metre swimming pool and spa, a function room with an outdoor terrace, a gym, yoga lawn and dog park. There will be 240 parking spaces and 164 bicycle spaces.

Stockwell will be delivering the project in two stages, the first being the basement, podium, and tower up to level 20, and the second stages level 21 to 30.

<img alt="Stockwell" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d6ca72ac-bdeb-4565-8310-517046e43164" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-01-05%20at%201.56.55%20pm.png?VersionId=rZ06E5KS5q41KGsSWy744by6KlYWmKf8" />

Architecture firm MODE said in their design statement that the&nbsp;design has been developed to provide a high-quality building with extensive landscaping and materiality to further enhance Melbourne Street as a sub-tropical boulevard.

"The front edge of the building is landscaped with large deep planters to soften this edge and contribute to the sub-tropical nature of Melbourne Street," the report read.

They said the design of the streetscape has many opportunities for the display of public art.

"The lobby and tenancy raised to the required flood level, gives the opportunity to introduce a prominent grand entry staircase and ramp integrated with extensive landscaping.

Mode said the&nbsp;existing seats, artwork and planting on Melbourne Street will be retained and create a dialogue with the new entry steps.

Stockwell, led by managing director Mark Stockwell, has a number of projects in development across Brisbane.

Their most impressive is Stones Corner Village, where they're intending to redevelop their current retail and dining precinct just off Hanlon Park.

They've proposed a new mixed-used precinct at 405 Logan Road, which will incorporate 209 apartments across two towers, dubbed Logan and Cleveland, which will sit above 3,000 sqm of retail.

Stockwell has owned the 5,709 sqm site since 2006, which currently homes 20 retailers and is anchored by an Aldi. Over 500 new car parking spaces will be provided, and 252 bicycle spaces.

Stockwell also has a&nbsp;build to rent project in West End at 399 Montague Road, a few doors down from <a href="/news/qld/first-look-mcnab-file-for-montague-street-west-end-apartment-development">McNab''s recently filed plans for the redevelopment of the former Dixon's Tannery</a>.

The final apartments have been offered to the market in Brisbane's priciest apartment development, <a href="/buildings/443-queen-street-brisbane-443-queen-street-brisbane">443 Queen Street</a>.

Hutchies is putting the final touches to the 47-level tower having <a href="/news/qld/hutchinsons-take-over-probuild-construction-of-cbus-propertys-brisbane-apartment-tower-443-queen-st">taken over the build from Probuild in mid-2022</a>.

Aptly named <a href="/buildings/443-queen-street-brisbane-443-queen-street-brisbane">443 Queen Street</a> after its prime location adjacent to the heritage-listed Customs House, the project by prominent developer CBUS has been a huge success as far as sales are concerned since initially launching back in 2017.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6226 project_image_fid=37149]

Now the final opportunity to buy in the building has presented itself, with just a handful of apartments recently hitting the market.

The one-bedroom apartments start from $950,000 and top $1.5 million for the 81 sqm configuration. The two-bedrooms are priced from $2.3 million and span just over 100 sqm and have a car space, while the four-bedroom units have over 200 sqm of space and start from $5 million.

443 Queen Street was designed by globally renowned architectural firms WOHA and Architectus to harmonise with Brisbane's subtropical climate. They say the building is a living, breathing entity, ensuring a constant flow of natural and fresh air.

“We believe in innovative, sustainable architecture based on a clear humanist social agenda," WOHA's Richard Hassell said.

The emphasis on sustainable and energy-efficient design sets <a href="/buildings/443-queen-street-brisbane-443-queen-street-brisbane">443 Queen Street</a> apart as a world-class development. Lush gardens integrated throughout the building enhance aesthetic appeal and contribute to reducing energy consumption.

<a href="/buildings/443-queen-street-brisbane-443-queen-street-brisbane">443 Queen Street's</a> appeal is further elevated by a dedicated full-floor recreation deck on level seven which comprises a 25-metre riverside infinity pool with cabana lounges, a gym, yoga terrace, and a dining room with terrace.

Brisbane-based developer Frank Developments has seen huge success at its luxury maiden Gold Coast apartment development, <a href="/new-apartments/mira-61-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">MIRA</a>.

The 25-level tower at <a href="/new-apartments/mira-61-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">61 Garfield Terrace</a>, the dress circle address in Surfers Paradise&nbsp;is made up of just 12 apartments which have been pitched as vertical beach houses.

"At MIRA, every apartment is dual-level, meaning every resident will experience the penthouse way of life – private, elevated and life enhancing."

Local Brisbane developer Silverstone Developments has filed plans for a shoptop apartment development in <a href="/new-apartments/ascot-qld-4007">Ascot</a>.

The plans for The Windermere, designed by PDT Architects at&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/the-windermere-ascot-77-racecourse-road-ascot">77 Racecourse Road</a>, a few streets back from Kingsford Smith Drive and Bretts Wharf Ferry Terminal, are for 30 apartments above seven retail tenancies.

The building will be crowned with a rooftop lawn, infinity edge swimming pool and spa, communal function room, a gym with a sauna, and a number of seating areas and barbecue spaces.

<img alt="Racecourse" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ad404215-8cc6-4718-8e6d-640172b64aa3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-01-03%20at%209.44.40%20am.png?VersionId=H2Akhmysscw5HUSbkKTeFSaHCmvyXVRx" />

PDT Architects said in their proposal that the aim of the design was to reflect the traditional and green nature of the suburb, which has been retained due to the nearby Eagle Farm Racecourse.

"[The] Eagle Farm Racecourse in 1863 drove a lot of further development and attention in the area over time, leading to increased stables within the suburb and thus larger properties remaining in the area over time. This provided the foundations for a traditional and green nature in the suburb.

"The development strives to pay homage to this character through a raw material palette with extensive landscaping to act as a ‘feature’ piece."

<img alt="77 Eagle Farm" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3c24bf68-1342-49c0-92e6-def6c881f076" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-01-03%20at%209.44.04%20am.png?VersionId=mMYOYV0Q6Q3hOyIOeRbvlw3dNKJk6JRq" />

They said while the proposal drives to activate further Racecourse Road by harnessing pedestrian human scale at entries, heavily landscaped building mass with simplistic but intentional materiality.

"The rigid form promotes the eye to focus on the draping greenery and regular pattern forms through detailed balustrade treatments. The colour scheme aims to embrace natural colours whilst contrasting bold black trim and dark treatments to the light wells &amp; plant screening.

"The architectural approach is holistic, to provide a mass that utilises simple raw materials that allows prominent and extensive landscaping to become the feature of the site, this pays respect to the green and traditional character of Ascot whilst providing a striking and modern design presence to the street. It provides new high quality spaces for retail users and a striking destination to call home for residential users that situates itself well into the street and suburbs identity."

<img alt="77 Racecourse" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="39fff363-db7e-4086-a36c-469aa3929921" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-01-03%20at%209.44.14%20am.png?VersionId=.R9Rms2x6aKq5LP9EPu3Gvo.TTLZFdFP" />

PDT added that while the 3,162 sqm site is in close proximity to the city it still maintains a strong suburban and homely character.

Silverstone is seeking to target the owner-occupier with the large apartments. There are just three two-bedroom units and 27 three-bedroom apartments. Each apartment features its own balcony, with an average balcony size just under 40 sqm.

Urban Strategies noted in their Town Planning Report that the proposal is considered to be in line with the zoning of the site and the relevant outcomes sought under the Racecourse Precinct Neighbourhood Plan.

"The proposed development is anticipated to provide uses which will service the immediate local catchment and activate the street," the report read.

"The proposal is of a high quality design and revitalises an underutilised site. The proposal is designed to remain of a human scale and to reinforce the precinct’s identity and sense of place."

&nbsp;

The Racecourse Road site currently comprises a commercial building with a grocery and convenience store, pharmacist, and liquor store, while the eastern part of the site is currently an open air car park.

It's a return to residential for Silverstone, who also work in the commercial space. They have recently completed the Spring Hill Day Hospital among a number of other commercial projects. They were prominent in the residential development space back in 2015 and 2016, completing a number of projects in Kangaroo Point, Bulimba and Milton.

Silverstone file shoptop apartment plans for The Windermere Ascot

First home buyers in Queensland were given a shot in the arm in November when the Queensland Government announced they were doubling the concessions in the QLD First Home Owner Grant.

The $15,000 boost in budgets for eligible first home buyers has been doubled to $30,000 in an attempt to assist first home buyers to get into the property market.

While certainly a significant move, many areas across the South East Queensland area in particular don't have apartments which quality for the QLD FHOG. The incentive is only applicable for apartments under $750,000.

In fact Apartments.com.au data shows that there's only two off the plan projects on the whole of the Gold Coast that has apartments currently on the market for less than $750,000, and there's only one project with two-bedroom off the plan apartments under the cap.

That's Andiamo Apartments, the Hope Island development by developer Robert Laybutt. Andiamo has two-bedroom apartments from $544,488 and priced up to $700,816, before the $30,000 Government assistance.

Andiamo had already been a hit with local first home buyers even before the increase in the QLD FHOG was announced. The doubling of the grant has done two things; brought buyers back to the project who have enquired previously but have been hampered by increased mortgage rates, as well as new first home buyers who want to act before any unforeseen change in the policy.

Andiamo Apartments comprises 76 apartments centred around a resort-style pool on Broadwater Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139743 project_image_fid=218960]

Prospective buyers can choose from various thoughtfully designed floor plans, while buyers of the three penthouses have the option to reconfigure and add a third room.

The apartments showcase clean, simple linear design, open-plan living and dining, and outdoor entertaining spaces.

First home buyers have also been attracted to the low body corp, just $70 a week, despite the swimming pool, barbecue area, multi-purpose room and access to lifts.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139743 project_image_fid=218961]

The Broadwater Avenue address has been one of the major drawcards for buyers so far.&nbsp;

Out of the door and turn right and residents will be at Broadwater Plaza where there's a Godfather Pizza and a handful of retailers within 100 metres. Just a few hundred metres the other way is the more abundant Hope Island Marketplace, the shopping hub of the whole of Hope Island.

Hope Island Marketplace has over 20 stores, including a Woolworths, ALDI and BWS, Bakers Delight, Osha Kitchen &amp; Bar, Canton Road Chinese and Carl's Jr Hope Island. The Hope Island Tavern is one of the most popular pubs on the Island.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139743 project_image_fid=218959]

Hope Island is also home to some of South East Queensland's best golf courses, 16 in total across Hope Island and the nearby Sanctuary Cove.

The is currently under construction by SEQ builder&nbsp;Bryants Construction and is projected to be completed in early 2025.

Andiamo Apartments represents an incredibly rare opportunity to buy well under the Gold Coast unit median price which property data analytics firm CoreLogic puts at&nbsp;$721,000.

Their research shows the unit value in the Gold Coast has jumped 9.5 per cent in the last 12 months, and it's expected to continue well into the new year given the supply constraints in the in-demand region.

Noosaville is set to welcome one of its most architecturally-striking developments with the recent launch of JURA, a boutique collection of apartments and townhouses.

The 38 residences have been designed by Blackwood Architecture so residents can take in as much of the famous South East Queensland climate, with open plan living spaces that connect to either spacious balconies or large terrace courtyards.

The floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors in each residence allow residents to embrace the Noosa atmosphere year-round, flooding the interiors with natural coastal light.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142312 project_image_fid=228402]

Emphasising the importance of the kitchen as the home's focal point, each residence is equipped with quality European appliances, ample storage, breakfast bars, and a separate dining area—all complemented by a light coastal colour palette.&nbsp;

Beyond the welcoming kitchens and stress-free ambience, each new residence features spacious queen bedrooms with built-in robes, while the master includes a private ensuite.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142312 project_image_fid=228401]

A dedicated laundry room, additional drying courts, and a reliable, lockable storage room in select residences make home organisation more manageable for the residents.

JURA also provides other practical amenities, such as exclusive residence carports, a lock-up garage for townhomes, and ample visitor parking, while also having low body corporate fees compared to similar properties in the Noosa region.

The townhouses are located ideally just off Eumundi Road opposite the Noosa Leisure Centre and Noosa Library, while also offering future JURA residents easy access to the Noosa River and just six kilometres from Hastings Street.
