<a href="/developers/dm-property">DM Property</a> and <a href="/developers/icon-developments">Icon Kajima</a>'s debut Geelong apartment development, Motif, has already sold 60 per cent of its 129 apartments.&nbsp;

This comes on the heels of a successful launch last November, marking <a href="/new-apartments/geelong-vic-3220">Geelong</a>'s first apartment launch in several years.

MOTIF offers a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments across a five-level building.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136615 project_image_fid=241453]

The location's rarity for new apartment developments in Geelong played a significant role in achieving such remarkable sales figures.

"Motif is situated in an ideal location, and its progressive design credentials led by <a href="/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> have positioned the development to address the sustained undersupply of apartments within the Victorian housing market,” Nick Sestak, Senior Development Manager of Icon Kajima, said.

The development is strategically positioned at 1 York Street, on the fringe of the CBD, a stone's throw from Pakington Street's vibrant cafes, restaurants, and bars, as well as the Little Malop Street precinct, home to the impressive Geelong Library and Heritage Centre.

Following on from their relationship born in Sandringham, DM Property has had renowned architecture firm Rothelowman handle the architecture of Motif.

Each apartment features an open-plan kitchen integrated into the dining and living spaces, providing views overlooking Keera Street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136615 project_image_fid=241456]

Motif's south-facing one-bedroom layout offers a picturesque view of Keera Street through the windows.

For those looking for more space, the open-plan, two-bedroom design strategically places bedrooms on opposite sides for enhanced privacy.

Meanwhile, the grand three-bedroom layout caters to families or those seeking ample space. Two balconies overlooking bay views are accessible from the living area and as private extensions of bedrooms.

Two large bedrooms boast private ensuites, while the third room is adjacent to the communal third bathroom.

The ground floor hosts a generously sized plaza-like space landscaped by ACRE, providing a communal area for residents to gather and enjoy.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136615 project_image_fid=241461]

In a nod to sustainability, MOTIF is fossil fuel-free, with significant solar panelling offsetting electricity consumption, resulting in a 7-star NAThers-rated building.

The various configurations on offer and price points will appeal to everyone, from first home buyers, young professionals, downsizers, and investors, both local and interstate.

Apartments at <a href="/new-apartments/motif-geelong-1-york-street-geelong-vic-3220">Motif</a> start from $480,000. Construction is expected to commence early this year.

Frank Developments secures sales success at luxury Surfers Paradise apartment development, MIRA

New apartment developer Prosker Property's inaugural residential project, <a href="/new-apartments/redan-lane-22-redan-street-mosman">Redan Lane</a>, has achieved a pre-build sell-out within a week of its launch.&nbsp;

<a href="/new-apartments/redan-lane-22-redan-street-mosman">Redan Lane</a> comprises seven exclusive apartments situated on the sought-after Balmoral Slopes in <a href="/new-apartments/mosman-nsw-2088">Mosman</a>.

"From the very beginning we believed the good people of Mosman wanted large easy living Residences close to the Village, bathed in light with beautiful views and the market’s response has affirmed this conviction," Prosker Founder and CEO Tim Foote said.

Among the pre-build sales was a Garden residence sold for $19.5 million and a mid-level four-bedroom unit sold for $19 million.

Before the launch of the $125 million development, a downsizing Mosman family secured the largest unit in the project, a 270 sqm ground floor garden apartment overlooking the Balmoral Slopes and the ocean.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142652 project_image_fid=239994]

The apartment boasts three bedrooms, two living areas, four bathrooms, and internal access to a garage. The outdoor space encompasses an additional 222 sqm, though notably, there is no swimming pool.

The collaborative effort involved Studio Johnston for architecture, Mim Design for interiors, and Dangar Barin Smith for landscaping. CBRE managed the sales campaign.

The three and four-bedroom apartments ranging from 205 sqm to 270 sqm. Three-bedroom units feature two private lock-up garages, each six meters wide, while four-bedroom apartments provide garaging for four cars. Every residence offers EV charging facilities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142652 project_image_fid=239995]

Each apartment showcases integrated Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances in the kitchen, internal gas fireplaces within a marble feature mantle, and a wine storage display adjoining a bar area. Extensive courtyards and terraces feature landscaped greenery, providing shade and privacy to alfresco areas.

While boutique developments like <a href="/new-apartments/redan-lane-22-redan-street-mosman">Redan Lane</a> typically forgo a suite of amenities, residents will enjoy a Golf Room equipped with a full golf simulator.

Prosker is eyeing construction commencement early in the new year.

Redan Lane Mosman sales kick off with two sales touching $20m

The only beachfront apartment project on the market in the coveted Gold Coast suburb of Palm Beach has notched up more than $20 million in sales only weeks after its launch to the market.

The $60 million Ophira Palm Beach has taken advantage of the lack of ultra-luxury apartments in the Gold Coast’s new “millionaire’s row”, selling three of its whole floor apartments for in excess of $7 million each.

Market interest has been very strong since the project was launched earlier this month.

Developer builder 5Point Projects has already commenced construction on Ophira, conscious of the continued interest in the luxury top end and continued demand for luxury product.

5Point Managing Director Damian Dove says the buyers have been locals with existing residences in the area.

"[They] have recognised that this level of luxury and space is extremely limited in Palm Beach and unlikely to change in the near term," Dove said.

“Ophira is the only absolute off the plan beachfront project currently in market situated in the highly sought after Jefferson Lane precinct, so we had high expectations which thus far have been well and truly met.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221546]

Ophira Palm Beach comprises just seven full-floor sky homes and a sprawling two-level penthouse. Each full-floor residence has 290 sqm of living space, including open balconies with views up and down the coast.

Ophira’s two-level penthouse will deliver 637 sqm of living space with four bedrooms, five bathrooms and its own private outdoor entertainment area featuring a pool, spa, sauna, sundeck, with teppanyaki bar, a sunken lounge and fire pit.

“We are fortunate that we are in a position to build immediately and the inquiries for&nbsp;Ophira despite having little marketing attention until now has been quite remarkable," Dove added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221549]

The project, marketed by Jamie Bourke and Dylan Molloy of ARC Project Marketing, presents a unique opportunity for downsizers looking for high-end product where there are very limited opportunities.

Through private entryways, Ophira’s exclusive collection of full-floor sky homes open to reveal a meticulously designed tranquil oasis featuring wine storage, a functioning scullery off the kitchen, three spacious bedrooms all fully ensuited with designer robes, plus study and a family/media room.

Interiors are infused with natural products encompassing stone benchtops and tiles, polished lime render and oak timber highlighted via the abundance of natural light throughout imparting a glow that complements the exquisite décor.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221552]

“Ophira has been highly anticipated by the local market close to the cosmopolitan heart of Palm Beach, combined with its spacious living and the supreme privacy that this limited collection of residences offers, have already captured the imagination of buyers.”

“Ophira, has been designed for a discerning buyer, and we don’t shy away from that,” said Mr Dove.

Ophira Palm Beach residents will enjoy a sanctuary of calm with shared amenities on level one including an exclusive plunge pool and sun deck plus a communal garden which will be a focal point for relaxation and wellbeing.

Residences at Ophira Palm Beach start from $6.35M.

Metacap Developments has sold $20 million following the release of its $85 million Sovereign Promenade development at Paradise Point, with buyer confidence buoyed by construction of the first stage of eight villas edging closer to completion.

Construction is underway on Newcastle's latest residential development, ONE Apartments.&nbsp;

Their inhouse construction team, GWH Build, is handling construction of the two-tower development of just under 200 one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

The demolition of the existing site concluded late last year, paving the way for structural piling and inground work, which commenced early this year.

ONE Apartments, designed by global architects Marchese Partners and local firm CKDS, will feature one of GWH's signature inclusions, two all-weather rooftop entertaining areas overlooking 360-degree views of Newcastle.&nbsp;

<img alt="ONE Apartments" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c6395f94-2e44-49bd-9741-82bbc372a497" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-30%20at%208.25.38%20pm.png?VersionId=8mlhbF7BTeab36M2cY_VB8wzGkwvQqVq" />

Among the additional amenities are an outdoor heated pool, cinema, gymnasium, steam room, and several smaller private communal spaces available for bookings.

GWH officially launched ONE Apartments to the market in mid-June 2022.

The project attracted a strong interest from the outset, particularly among purchasers from other GWH developments. This has resulted in over one-third of Stage One being sold within the first eight weeks on the market.

"Currently, we're over 50 per cent sold in Stage One and all of our one-bedroom apartments are sold out which shows so much confidence in the market at the moment in Newcastle City, especially off-the-plan," said GWH/RE Licensee in Charge - Peter Kunov.

"Our enquiry rate every week seems to grow despite the current market and the confidence in the off-the-plan sales for both downsizers and investors and first home buyers is really strong."

The development is slated for completion in October 2025.
