<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/far-east-consortium">Far East Consortium</a>’s 640 Bourke Street stands as a testament to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/melbourne-vic-3000">Melbourne</a>’s ability to bridge its storied past with a bold vision for the future.&nbsp;

Rising above the heritage-listed Eliza Tinsley building, the development reflects a broader shift toward adaptive reuse in the city, where historical assets are retained and reinterpreted as part of new residential development.

Designed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/640-bourke-street-melbourne-640-bourke-street-melbourne-vic-3000">640 Bourke Street</a> incorporates the Eliza Tinsley building as its foundation, housing a grand gallery and lobby space that serve as both a functional and symbolic centrepiece. The heritage façade informs the tower’s design, creating a connection between Melbourne’s past and its contemporary skyline.

"It's a significant asset and wants to be celebrated and experienced by all residents every single time they go in and out of the building," Rothelowman Principal Stuart Marsland said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365684]

Above this historic base, the 68-storey tower will deliver just over 600 residences, a notable reduction from earlier schemes, reflecting a deliberate move toward larger-format apartments and a stronger owner-occupier focus.

Unlike traditional CBD developments that prioritised investor stock, 640 Bourke Street has been repositioned to respond to changing buyer expectations.

"The discussion was all around making 640 Bourke Street the best residence to live in, to be much more focused on the people in the building rather than people looking at the building," Marsland explained.&nbsp;

This shift is evident in the development’s interiors, which emphasise practical luxury with spacious layouts, high ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing sweeping views of Melbourne and Port Phillip Bay.&nbsp;

“What it's meant for 640 Bourke is we've actually reduced the number of apartments. We've increased the overall size of the apartments. We don't have any studios in here, and what that does for a project is it elevates it," Lauren Sheldon, Far East Consortium’s Director of Sales and Marketing, said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365687]

Rothelowman Associate Jun Chang added, "We were given the opportunity to be more generous. The apartments became bigger and squarer than any other apartments which had been designed in the CBD before that."&nbsp;

Amenities spanning more than 3,000 sqm across multiple levels further reinforce this focus on resident experience. These include a pool, gym, co-working areas, and a range of hospitality-inspired spaces such as a whisky lounge, library, and private dining rooms, many drawing reference from traditional bathhouses and Melbourne’s laneway culture.

"We wanted to make both the pool and the gym area to be absolutely destinational, and when you traverse across to these spaces, there is a gentle familiarity to the beautiful notions of the hammams and the Roman baths, a gentle nod to history," Chang noted.

At street level, the project contributes to the ongoing transformation of the western CBD, with upgrades to Langs Lane and the introduction of retail, hospitality, and gallery spaces designed to activate the precinct and strengthen its connection to the surrounding city fabric.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365689]

The location places residents within walking distance of Southern Cross Station, Flagstaff Gardens, Queen Victoria Market, and the Docklands waterfront, positioning the development within a rapidly evolving inner-city neighbourhood.

"We believe it's the best site left in the city of Melbourne," Craig Williams, Executive Director at Far East Consortium, said.&nbsp;

640 Bourke Street is Far East Consortium’s 14th building in Melbourne’s western CBD.

"A very elegant designed building. It's going to be a Melbourne statement for many, many years to come."

One-bedroom apartments are priced from around $640,000, with 640 Bourke Street targeting completion in 2029.

Heritage-led design anchors Far East Consortium’s 640 Bourke St, Melbourne

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD Group</a> has set a new residential price record in Queensland with the $30 million sale of the penthouse at its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/one-burleigh-88-the-esplanade-burleigh-heads-qld-4220">ONE Burleigh</a> development in Burleigh Heads.

The sale equates to around $37,500 per sqm.

The two-level, 800 sqm penthouse, featuring five bedrooms, five bathrooms, five car spaces, and a private infinity pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean, was acquired by a Gold Coast-based entrepreneur, highlighting continued demand for ultra-premium beachfront product.

Selling agent Freddie Tehle of PRD Burleigh Heads said the result reflects tightening supply of high-quality, large-format apartments in Burleigh.

“There’s very limited opportunity to secure this level of scale and absolute beachfront position in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/burleigh-heads-qld-4220">Burleigh Heads</a>,” Tehle said.

“Buyers are increasingly seeking apartments that genuinely replace a standalone home, and this penthouse delivers that with its size, privacy, and direct ocean frontage.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146358 project_image_fid=323057]

The sale comes as construction progresses on ONE Burleigh, a boutique development of 17 full-floor residences at 88 The Esplanade, scheduled for completion in early 2027.

Developed by MAYD Group and designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/mas-architecture-studio">MAS Architecture</a> with interiors by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/sici-design">Sici Design</a>, the project has been positioned as a collection of house-sized beachfront apartments, each occupying an entire floor with around 381 sqm of internal and external living space.

When construction commenced, MAYD director Todd Mould pointed to the long-term resilience of premium coastal real estate as a key driver behind the project.

“Real estate, particularly at the premium end, remains one of the most resilient and proven long-term investment avenues,” Mould said.

“Our ambition is that anyone who buys a MAYD-built product can genuinely feel the care, craftsmanship and commitment we bring to every detail.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146358 project_image_fid=323055]

Each residence has been configured with four bedrooms, multiple living zones, a private office, and expansive ocean-facing terraces. Interiors draw on a restrained material palette, including travertine stone, timber joinery, and integrated premium appliances.

Interior designer Sici Design said the approach was to reflect the project’s coastal setting through both materiality and spatial planning.

“ONE Burleigh is our vision of luxury living, designed to bring the essence of Burleigh Heads' vibrant coastal beauty into an unparalleled residential experience.”

Residents will have access to a suite of wellness-focused amenities, including pools, sauna facilities, and dedicated relaxation spaces, reflecting a broader shift toward lifestyle-driven apartment design on the Gold Coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146358 project_image_fid=323052]

The project occupies a southern Esplanade site with uninterrupted beachfront frontage, an increasingly rare offering in Burleigh Heads, free from the Norfolk Pines that line much of the coastline and often limit direct ocean outlook.

Mould said the design intent was to balance that outlook with a sense of retreat.

“Living at ONE Burleigh is about how your day naturally unfolds, morning light across the ocean, coffee on the balcony, and being in Burleigh but elevated above the noise.”

The result further reinforces Burleigh Heads’ emergence as one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held and supply-constrained beachfront markets, where boutique, owner-occupier-focused developments are increasingly setting new price benchmarks.

Apartment developers in the Gold Coast are finding new, creative ways to differentiate themselves from competing projects, as new supply starts to flow through up and down the Coast.

Developer BIG Projects brought in the renowned Sydney-based design studio YSG Studio to craft the interiors for The Frederick, BIG Projects' new Mermaid Beach project and YSG Studio's first move into the multi-residential development space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110588 project_image_fid=5346]

It was a strategic move for BIG Projects to bring in a Sydney eye to the development.

“Our role is to give our design partners the space and freedom to explore,” says Matt Barrett, Director of BIG Projects.

“We wanted YSG Studio to capture the essence of Nobby’s, to design a building that embraces life, light and connection, while creating a genuine sense of place.”

There are only 39 apartments in The Frederick, including a striking beach house, just 100 metres from the booming Nobby Beach precinct.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110588 project_image_fid=5347]

Yasmine Ghoniem, Director of YSG Studio, says their vision&nbsp;for The Frederick "reinvents coastal living."

“Nobby’s has such an iconic energy, it’s one of those rare pockets of the Gold Coast where the community, the beach, and the streets all feel connected,” Ghoniem says.

"Responding to the neighbouring coastline, soothing curves add a relaxing regional overlay, while unique detailing really sets it apart. It’s a place that feels lived in from the moment you step inside.”

A standout feature of The Frederick is its rooftop terrace, an uncommon inclusion for a boutique, low-rise building, where amenity is typically concentrated at ground level.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110588 project_image_fid=5360]

Positioned to capture panoramic views from the hinterland to the ocean, the rooftop has been designed as a series of intimate zones. It includes a pool, sauna, sun decks, workspaces and dedicated entertaining areas.

“The rooftop was conceived as a collection of spaces where residents can unwind and connect, an extension of the Nobby’s lifestyle,” Barrett says.

Architecture for the project was led by Plus Studio, with landscape design by LDG Landscape Architecture.

SRQ Projects Director Nick Clydsdale, who is handling sales at The Frederick, says the majority of enquiry is coming from South East QLD and Victorian buyers who have been actively searching between Broadbeach and Mermaid Beach for some time.

"They’ve reviewed a number of projects, however this one has stood out for its unique detailing and compelling design,"&nbsp;Clydsdale says.

Site demolition is slated for this month, with construction commencing soon after. BIG Projects is targeting a late 2027 completion.

Sydney’s YSG Studio makes Gold Coast multi-residential debut with BIG Projects at The Frederick

Melbourne-based property developer ALTA Property has this week achieved planning approval for the adaptive re-use of a former commercial tower into a $200 million, 169-apartment project at 10 Queens Road, one of the last developable sites along the Albert Park Lake-fronting boulevard.&nbsp;

Set within one of Melbourne’s most sought-after precincts and designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fraser-partners-0">Fraser and Partners</a>, the illustrious building will offer unparalleled views across Albert Park Lake, Port Phillip Bay and Melbourne CBD.&nbsp;

The mix of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom residences will be complemented by a ground-floor amenity featuring private dining, a lounge bar, gym and wellness spaces, co-working, outdoor communal gardens, and retail.&nbsp;

The 17-storey building is a masterclass in adaptive re-use, with the existing commercial building’s façade, shell and internal structure to be retained, before high-end residences are built from the ground up in a newly built Albert Park facing addition to the building.&nbsp;

Sitting atop the building will be two 320+sqm penthouses with private rooftop terraces, which are expected to be priced between $9 - $11 million.&nbsp;

<img alt="ALTA Property achieves permit approval for $200 million Queens Road tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="aa11211b-5581-43f9-940c-fc84d30a0e61" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/C_04.png?VersionId=Yhf5p_1EgGDu_zOIMFgvA8Ug8j3sTFQs" />

Architecturally, the building will feature a curved, geometric façade that celebrates and elevates the existing structure, with warm, muted tones which were selected to extend the materiality of the existing building rather than contrast it.&nbsp;

Interiors will bring together three metre high ceilings with waffle concrete in some spaces, natural timber, granite and Australian materials, culminating in crafted, generous and considered spaces that are defined by authenticity.&nbsp;

The adaptive re-use means that the Queens Road project will be a sustainability led, high-quality finished product, with a 62% saving in carbon emissions by re-using the existing structure rather than knocking it down and rebuilding.&nbsp;

ALTA Property was launched by Nigel Givoni in 2023, bringing over 25 years of experience in multi level residential delivery.&nbsp;

Melbourne’s property market growth is currently led by apartments. According to RPM VIC Apartments &amp; Townhomes Market Report (April 2026), units are outpacing houses, especially in the middle ring suburbs where median prices hit $757,500 – a four-year high that represents 2.9 percent growth quarter-on-quarter.&nbsp;

<img alt="ALTA Property achieves permit approval for $200 million Queens Road tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="647e13d7-b4bc-433a-9bc9-fe3c3dd4f2ec" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/V_06.png?VersionId=ou4NUCWUgA3NAy.6CQJlEdKX50j3dOk6" />

For ALTA Property Founder Nigel Givoni, this performance speaks to the confidence he has in the Melbourne market.&nbsp;

“Queens Road represents a rare opportunity to continue to shape our presence in the Melbourne market.,"&nbsp;Givoni says.

"With a considered project team and a premier site along one of the city’s most sought-after boulevards, we look forward to contributing to the fabric of this established address.

“Other Australian markets are getting a lot of attention, but I believe the depth of value in Melbourne is being overlooked. The fundamentals are strong, population growth is steady and, based on our preliminary conversations with a leading builder, construction costs are beginning to normalise, creating further opportunity."

Givoni says the project is a&nbsp;highly considered example of adaptive re-use, delivering quality, high-end residences, premium hotel-inspired amenities and an architecturally striking façade, all achieved without the need to remove the existing structure.

"We are really looking forward to the market’s response,” he said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150128 project_image_fid=366285]

The development is defined by its focus on flexible living and long-term usability. Each residence includes multiple living zones and a customisable multipurpose room, allowing buyers to tailor spaces to suit changing needs, whether as a home office, additional bedroom, wellness area or entertainment space.

Architecturally, the townhomes emphasise natural light and spatial volume, with dual-aspect layouts and double-height living areas incorporated into the design. Interiors feature natural stone benchtops, premium appliances, and a neutral material palette intended to support everyday functionality rather than statement-driven finishes.

All residences are all-electric and include private lifts and secure double garages, reflecting a broader shift toward sustainability and future-focused housing in Melbourne’s established suburbs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150128 project_image_fid=366277]

Outdoor connections are also central to the offering, with a mix of private courtyards and terraces extending internal living spaces and integrating with the landscaped surrounds.

The Scott Grove address places Orchard Mews within close proximity to some of Melbourne’s key lifestyle and education amenities, including Scotch College, Sacré Cœur, Cabrini Hospital and the retail hub of Chadstone. Public transport access is also nearby, with trams and Gardiner Station providing connectivity to the CBD and surrounding suburbs.

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.

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.

<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?

When long-time Ivanhoe locals Graeme and Catherine, decided it was time to downsize, they weren’t necessarily in a rush.&nbsp;

Like many in their stage of life, they had started thinking about apartment living, but anticipated making the shift in two to three years.

That timeline changed when they visited <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/candela-ivanhoe-40-upper-heidelberg-road-ivanhoe">Candela</a>, a new boutique development by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/salter-brothers">Salter Brothers</a>. The project ticked all the boxes they were looking for: location, quality design, and long-term lifestyle benefits, which prompted them to bring their decision forward.

“It was the right place at the right time,” they said. “We knew immediately it ticked all the boxes, and we didn’t want to wait.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=358855]

Their decision to downsize was driven by a combination of practical needs and lifestyle considerations. Their existing home, while much loved, had become increasingly difficult to maintain. It spanned multiple levels, included extensive front and back gardens, and was starting to show the wear that comes with age.&nbsp;

They were looking for a more manageable lifestyle, one with less upkeep and more freedom. A brand-new apartment with no maintenance requirements and the ability to simply “lock up and leave” gave them peace of mind and a greater sense of control over their future.

Financially, the purchase made sense as well. The available stamp duty savings, strong price-to-value offering, and timing of the settlement suited their plans, making the transition smoother and more cost-effective. The apartment's design and inclusions further supported their choice.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357493]

The layout was both functional and flexible: three bedrooms, a butler’s pantry, a separate laundry, and a large open-plan living area. It gave them the freedom to host a family, accommodate guests, or set up a home office. The expansive balcony and elevated views added to the appeal, providing a sense of openness and connection to the outdoors.

“It just had a really good flow,” Catherine noted, something they found lacking in many other apartments they’d considered, particularly in the established market.

Candela’s boutique scale was another deciding factor. With a smaller number of residences and a top-floor penthouse position, the couple felt the development offered the privacy and space they were looking for, without feeling isolated.

“We liked that it wasn’t a huge development. It felt well-balanced, modern but still with a sense of community, not overwhelming,” they said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357508]

Equally important was the ability to remain in Ivanhoe, a suburb they know well and have deep roots in. After 46 years in the area, proximity to local parks, shops, and familiar faces mattered just as much as the apartment itself.

“We didn’t want to give up the community we’ve known for decades. Candela allowed us to upgrade our lifestyle while staying in the place we call home.”

With a Walk Score of 90, the village location supports a convenient, connected lifestyle. <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/ivanhoe-vic-3079">Ivanhoe</a> Station is just a eight-minute walk away, and the neighbourhood offers access to parks, cafes, restaurants, and schools along Upper Heidelberg Road, all within easy reach.

Beyond the apartment, the couple also saw value in the broader vision for Candela, one that integrates residential living with public spaces and local amenities.&nbsp;

The development introduces 58 new apartments as well as a mix of commercial and social spaces that integrate contemporary architecture with the suburb’s existing character.&nbsp;

At ground level, residents will find a charming café and a lifestyle wellness centre, perfect for unwinding and rejuvenating. Meanwhile, the rooftop garden offers a stunning vantage point for residents to enjoy breathtaking sunsets, host gatherings, or enjoy barbecues with family and friends. It's not just a place to live; it's a vibrant community where every moment is an opportunity to connect and create lasting memories.

Why Ivanhoe locals are choosing to downsize to Candela

Boutique Melbourne developer JMSN has been given the green light by the Department of Transport and Planning for its&nbsp;second apartment development in the Fitzroy area.

Fresh off topping out its debut project ns277 in Fitzroy, JSMN, led by Sam Jamieson, will develop&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/301-317-rae-street-fitzroy-north-vic-3068">27 apartments in Fitzroy North</a>. The seven-storey building will replace a single-storey brick warehouse on a 1,069 sqm corner site on the corner of Rae and Alfred streets, within the Nicholson Street Neighbourhood Activity Centre.

<img alt="JMSN" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="31fe7f2d-6585-427c-bdb2-c44418ff7294" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-17%20at%2011.36.54%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=I1r4AFIIQG6K4EmKdtuIeI7RlYev4gvj" />

The apartment mix includes 10 two-bedroom apartments, six of which are loft-style homes across the lower levels, and 17 three-bedroom apartments, targeting owner-occupiers and downsizers seeking larger configurations in an established inner-city suburb. Vehicle access is proposed via the rear laneway, with parking provided across two basement levels.

According to the planning report, the project is intended to be a “contextually driven response that will sit comfortably in the established streetscapes of Rae and Alfred Street,” with the built form carefully scaled to respect neighbouring heritage buildings. Upper levels are stepped back and articulated to reduce visual bulk, while materials including brick, rendered concrete and green tile have been selected to reference the area’s industrial and residential character.

<img alt="JMSN" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4b243f1b-d7ae-420b-812b-c103d36a4cd3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-17%20at%2011.36.59%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=qcPl6Z_0Nc9FeWaAPuAFIATO1d4iQfkb" />

The design was workshopped extensively with the Office of the Victorian Government Architect under the state’s Great Design Fast Track process, aligning with the seven published design principles. The report notes the development will achieve an average 8-star NatHERS rating, with a strong focus on natural ventilation, thermal comfort and low ongoing operational costs.

Communal amenity is centred around a 218 sqm ground-floor courtyard, complemented by landscaped breezeways and seating throughout the building. Landscape architecture by Vivid Green extends into the public realm, with new planting and additional bicycle infrastructure proposed along Rae and Alfred streets.

The planning report added the project will “rectify the industrial legacy of the existing building and release much-needed sustainable housing” in an area undergoing significant infill development, while maintaining a respectful relationship with Fitzroy North’s valued heritage context.

The next project to launch in Fitzroy North will be <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/edison-north-fitzroy-197-205-st-georges-road-fitzroy-north-vic-3068">Edison</a>, just 17 apartments designed by Austin Maynard Architects on St George's Road.

JMSN plots second Fitzroy building after topping out debut Melbourne project

Life in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/fitzroy-vic-3065">Fitzroy</a> moves at a distinctly local rhythm - a neighbourhood where cafés open early, parks fill steadily, and everything from art to groceries is found within walking distance.&nbsp;

At the centre of this tightly knit urban fabric, just 150 metres from Brunswick Street’s café's and retail spine, this new address offers direct access to the suburb’s defining amenities while maintaining a sense of residential calm.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/napier-235-fitzroy-235-napier-street-fitzroy-vic-3065">Napier 235</a>, a boutique development from <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/romano-property-group">Romano Property Group</a>, introduces 14 north-facing residences into one of Melbourne’s most walkable and richly layered enclaves. Surrounded by iconic eateries, leafy gardens, and essential daily services, it situates residents within the full spectrum of Fitzroy’s cultural, culinary, and lifestyle offerings - all just two kilometres from the CBD.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144904 project_image_fid=3219]

The immediate surroundings read like a curated guide to Melbourne’s culinary highlights: Bentwood café and the Napier Hotel, both local institutions, are just metres from the doorstep. Some of the city’s most acclaimed eateries are within a five to ten minute radius - Marion, Cutler &amp; Co, Lune Croissanterie, Alimentari, and Bar Rosella, to name a few. These venues sit alongside celebrated casual options like Hector’s Deli and Archie’s All Day, offering residents a diverse and constantly evolving dining experience.

For food shopping and specialty retail, the area continues to deliver. Morning Market and Gertrude Grocer offer curated produce and pantry goods, while Meatsmith, The Source Bulk Foods, and Gram Sustainable cater to conscious consumers.&nbsp;

National retailers including Coles and Woolworths ensure grocery needs are met with ease, and boutique outlets like Aesop, Le Labo, and Glou Wine Bar &amp; Shop add texture to the local retail mix.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144904 project_image_fid=3216]

Public green space is one of Fitzroy’s defining attributes, and Napier 235 is perfectly positioned to take advantage of this. Carlton Gardens and Fitzroy Gardens provide expansive, historic parklands within walking distance.&nbsp;

Edinburgh Gardens, popular with locals for its open lawns and sporting facilities, is also easily accessible. Fitzroy Swimming Pool and the leafy surrounds of the Melbourne Museum further enrich the recreational landscape, while the Melbourne Cricket Ground offers a pedestrian-accessible connection to the city’s sporting calendar.

Transport connectivity is embedded into the daily rhythm of the suburb. Tram access on nearby Brunswick, Smith, and Nicholson Streets provides direct links to the CBD and broader inner-north. Meanwhile, major arterials such as Victoria Parade and Alexandra Parade support quick access by car or bicycle.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144904 project_image_fid=3217]

Despite this rich offering, Napier Street itself remains a quiet, tree-lined corridor within Fitzroy’s residential grain, providing a sense of retreat from the surrounding activity. This balance of vibrancy and seclusion underpins the appeal of Napier 235, designed by Ewert Leaf with landscape by Florian Wild.&nbsp;

Each residence offers large private terraces and generous internal layouts that connect with the outdoors, while sustainability credentials place the project in the top five per cent of Victorian developments under current planning policy benchmarks.

Construction at Napier 235 is set to commence in Q1 2026 with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/ag-constructions">AG Construct</a>. Two-bedroom residences are priced from $1,225,000.

Napier 235 taps into Fitzroy’s lifestyle fabric

Access to high-performing public schools remains one of the strongest, and most measurable, drivers of residential demand in Melbourne’s established suburbs.

As affordability pressures continue to reshape buying decisions, school zoning has increasingly shifted from a secondary preference to a strategic consideration for family buyers.

New 2025 research from Cotality quantifies just how much weight households place on this factor. Across Sydney and Melbourne, families are paying premiums of up to $1.3 million to secure houses within sought-after public school catchments compared with similar homes just outside the boundary. In Melbourne, price gaps in leading school zones have reached as much as $357,000, reinforcing the extent to which access to public education is being capitalised into property values.

This data is reflected in buyer behaviour on the ground. Recent analysis shows some Melbourne families are paying up to 35 per cent more for homes within well-performing public school zones, particularly in tightly held inner and middle-ring suburbs where supply is limited and boundaries are sharply defined.

While the strongest premiums have traditionally been associated with detached housing, the underlying demand drivers, certainty of school access, long-term lifestyle planning, and the rising cost of private education, are increasingly influencing apartment buyers as well.

In suburbs where new residential supply is scarce, apartments located within established school catchments are emerging as one of the few accessible entry points for families prioritising location over land.

Long regarded for its education network, Balwyn remains one of Melbourne’s most tightly-held residential areas, with limited opportunities for new housing, particularly projects that sit squarely within the Balwyn High School catchment, one of the best performing public schools in the area.

The new apartment development&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/white-weston-balwyn-village-259-281-whitehorse-road-balwyn-vic-3103">White &amp; Weston</a> sits within the sought-after catchment zone, as well as being close to the suburb’s village retail strip and Balwyn Park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136850 project_image_fid=343580]

Supermarket giant Coles has teamed up with developer Dimas Property Group to create White &amp; Weston, just 45 large-scale apartments designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>. The two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, are proving popular with a wide variety of buyers, from young families to professional couples, as well as empty nesters.

While the median house price in Balwyn is touching $3 million, two-bedroom apartments at White &amp; Weston start from $1,325,000, and three-bedroom apartments start from $1,837,000.

On top its affordability relative to houses, buyers, depending on the configuration they choose, can save up to $360,000 by buying off the plan, an added cost which is applicable in the established housing market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136850 project_image_fid=343582]

White &amp; Weston apartments have been designed with sustainability at the forefront. They will achieve a&nbsp;minimum seven-star energy rating, through features like double-glazed windows, EV readiness, and whole-of-home energy optimisation aimed at reducing ongoing costs. There is also a 52-week defect liability period in place, and a six-year building guarantee for peace of mind.

Builder Aspekt has already commenced construction of the building, and will complete in early 2027.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136850 project_image_fid=343583]

Developments like White &amp; Weston highlight how school zoning is reshaping not just prices, but housing typologies within established suburbs. As demand to live inside high-performing public school catchments intensifies, apartments and townhome-style projects are increasingly filling the gap between aspiration and affordability.

The question for buyers is less about whether the school-zone premium exists, the data clearly shows it does, and more about how they choose to absorb it. Paying extra for education access can make sense when weighed against private schooling costs and long-term lifestyle goals.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=136850]

While the median house price in Balwyn is touching $3 million, two-bedroom apartments at White & Weston start from $1,325,000, and three-bedroom apartments start from $1,837,000.

White & Weston in Balwyn reflects Melbourne's education-driven housing demand

The Melbourne property market has turned a corner in 2025 after several years of stagnant growth. Cities including Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra&nbsp;overtook the Victorian capital in terms of median property prices, leaving Melbourne as the sixth most affordable capital city in Australia.

While that affordability gap remains, the market has now officially bottomed. Price growth has stabilised, and values have begun to rise, according to Cotality.

Interstate investment has surged and buyer confidence has returned, now they are not buying into a down market.

New projects are proving particularly popular with interstate purchasers. Over the past six months, 50 per cent of investor enquiry into Melbourne on Apartments.com.au has come from interstate. At the start of the year, that figure was closer to 10 per cent.

Some of the capital’s best developers are readying new projects for launch early next year, while others are waiting on approvals before hitting the go button.

We’ve wrapped up the most exciting projects set to launch in Melbourne in 2026. Off-the-plan buyers won’t want to wait too long into the year, with the Victorian Government’s extended stamp duty concessions—which completely abolish the tax for eligible buyers of new property, set to end in October.

<h2>Queensbury</h2>

<h3>Where: Melbourne</h3>

<h3>Who: Hirsch &amp; Faigen</h3>

Designed by award-winning architects&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, the five-level project at 173 Burke Road will feature 60 apartments, including affordable homes, targeted at downsizers, young and multi-generational families, alongside a full-line Woolworths.

<img alt="Glen Iris" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ea54fcec-cc40-4ae2-b51d-bd819637d4e2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-15%20at%201.02.39%E2%80%AFPM_0.png?VersionId=8a3k.2g5178bVHmFQKq9zR5mU4D.DLX0" />

The planning approval follows engagement over many years with the local community, the&nbsp;City of Stonnington, as well as the Department of Transport and Planning, together with the Office of the Victorian Government Architect, and reflects feedback received on urban design, local character and traffic and car park management.

<h2>Fitzroy Gasworks</h2>

<h3>Where: Fitzroy</h3>

<h3>Who: Milieu</h3>

Later in the year Milieu will launch <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/fitzroy-gasworks-433-smith-street-fitzroy">Fitzroy Gasworks</a> to the market, having won the tender to develop the prime Fitzroy site in collaboration with Development Victoria.

The developer, with projects currently underway in Elsternwick, Brunswick, and Collingwood, will deliver the build-to-sell component of the highly-anticipated project. It will be around 420 new homes, alongside extensive commercial and retail spaces.

<img alt="Fitzroy" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5b26b7e4-9fe2-4f89-bdc7-fdecfb45ba79" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-15%20at%203.00.10%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=o9u3P5douWw7GbsrwGx1kxu.ufjajYWM" /> 
The prime site borders Smith and George St as well as Alexandra and Queens Parade. The site already features the new Wurun Senior Campus and Bundha Sports Centre.

<h3>Where: Southbank</h3>

<h3>Who: LAS Group</h3>

LAS Group is looking to launch its new Southbank projects in 2026, following their recent approvals.

The two independent towers, designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fk-australia" target="">Fender Katsalidis</a>, will introduce around 700 new apartments across sites on Clarke Street and Clarendon Street.

The larger of the two towers,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/101-clarendon-street-southbank-vic-3006">101 Clarendon Street</a>, will have 509 apartments across a 52-level building that will also include a residents' lounge, private dining room, podcast room, golf simulator, co-working spaces, pet care facilities, and an outdoor terrace.

The smaller tower at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/36-42-clarke-street-southbank-vic-3006">38 Clarke Street</a>&nbsp;will be around half the size at 25 levels and home 188 apartments, a pool, gym, cold plunge, and sauna.

The taller tower is expected to complete in 2029, and the smaller tower a year earlier.

<h2>Moonee Valley Park (Stage 6)</h2>

<h3>Where: Moonee Ponds</h3>

<h3>Who: Hamton</h3>

Precinct-led developer Hamton is hoping to launch the sixth stage of its $3 billion Moonee Valley Park redevelopment they are creating alongside joint venture partner Hostplus.

The sixth stage will incorporate five more buildings in what is being called the Cox Plate Precinct, with around 1,100 new residences. There will be two build-to-sell apartment buildings, two build-to-rent buildings, and a hotel.

<img alt="Hamton" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6c9327d8-533b-4982-bb1d-48f5389d68a3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-15%20at%201.05.29%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=I0hjB0T1W5134HPMx6iJEasDkuWXBnD_" />

The buildings will range in height from 10 to 25 storeys, and 10 per cent of the dwellings will be allocated to affordable housing.

Complementing the residential offering is over 3,000 sqm of retail space, including a circa 800 sqm supermarket, and 4,100 sqm of commercial office space. The hotel will deliver 184 rooms with ground-floor activation via lobby and retail uses.

<h2>The Brightly</h2>

<h3>Where: Richmond</h3>

<h3>Who: Goldfields</h3>

The 12-storey, mixed-use building will bring another 125 apartments and townhouses to an area where new housing has been few and far between in recent years.

Cera Stribley is behind the designs for the building that will also incorporate retail and commercial spaces on its lower levels.<img alt="goldfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1f31642f-38c2-416f-ae56-fa9726514e9c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-15%20at%201.09.46%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ktESZLAkpvzmEIDsCferE8FLsErnRU0l" />

Rob Granger, Goldfields General Manager – Built Form, said the new project will bring another high-quality residential development to Richmond.

“Goldfields has a strong track record of delivery and we believe our experience in residential development and product marketing will be key to ensuring this project’s success,” Granger said.&nbsp;

<h3>Where: St Kilda</h3>

<h3>Who: Fortis</h3>

National developer Fortis is expected to launch its St Kilda project in 2026. They are planning around 40 Woods Bagot-designed apartments on a prime Fitzroy Street site that will include around 950 sqm of&nbsp;hand-selected retailers, likely to be a providore, a bakery, or a signature food and beverage venture.

When they submitted plans to the local council, Fortis Director Charles Mellick told Apartments.com.au that the developer has long&nbsp;been interested in St Kilda, and in particular Fitzroy Street.

<img alt="Fortis" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="202d027a-4fb6-4d02-a049-002c74f73077" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-15%20at%201.28.18%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=aUVoHXLp_vBeKEKBjELeL2WrYLoTKjKg" />

"St Kilda has a colourful history, character and charm and a unique position within Melbourne, immediate proximity to the CBD, parks and unrivalled amenity, yet distinctly coastal featuring one of Australia’s most well-known beaches," Mellick said.

"Fitzroy Street is one of Melbourne’s most historic grand boulevards which has admittedly seen better days, but here lies the challenge and opportunity to breathe new life into the precinct."

<h2>Camberwell House</h2>

<h3>Where: Camberwell</h3>

<h3>Who: Above Zero</h3>

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/camberwell-house-699-burke-road-camberwell-vic-3124">Burke Road project</a>&nbsp;has been designed&nbsp;by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>&nbsp;and will also incorporate office and retail space on the ground floor.

<h2>Pavilion</h2>

<h3>Where: Armadale</h3>

<h3>Who: Capax Group</h3>

One of the most boutique projects on this list is Pavilion, a luxury new development in one of Melbourne's premier suburbs.

Pavilion, on Wattletree Road in Armadale, has been designed by Life Architecture with interiors by Sora. They were inspired&nbsp;by the design of the Barcelona Pavilion by Ludwig Mies Van De Rohe.

"The Pavilion is renowned for its minimalist aesthetic, use of luxurious materials, and harmonious spatial flow," Sora said. "The concept evokes a sense of modern elegance, refinement, and timeless sophistication,"&nbsp;

The design is reflective of Armadale’s historic architecture, leafy streets, and mix of luxurious classic and contemporary homes, with&nbsp;marble and warm timbers used throughout.

<img alt="Manningtree" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3a2e9eb8-f8ec-4eac-9018-3fb9324a985a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-09%20at%209.26.27%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Oq2W5PJ4Cv8LBJR9huh7PlAGi4UBYt4r" />

There will be just eight homes on offer, one a full-floor penthouse with&nbsp;three bedrooms, one a master with its own sitting room with a fireplace, home office, walk-in wardrobe with dressing room, and ensuite with double vanity and freestanding tub.&nbsp;

Marshall White Projects Director Leonard Teplin says it is one of the most architecturally striking buildings he's worked on in recent years.

<h2>Bella Rosa</h2>

<h3>Where: Rosanna</h3>

<h3>Who: Sinclair Brook</h3>

Sinclair Brook will launch <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/bella-rose-61-71-banyule-road-rosanna-vic-3084">Bella Rosa</a>, a collection of high-end townhouses in Melbourne's north-east, early next year.

There will be just 27 three- and four-bedroom townhouses designed by Via Architects. Many are freestanding or only have one shared wall. Every townhouse will have private gardens, landscaped by John Patrick Landscape Architects, and a two-car garage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106718 project_image_fid=354647]

They will be located on a quiet block on Banyule Road, near Rosanna Primary School.

Melbourne's top 10 new apartment developments to launch in 2026

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/pitard-group">Pitard Group</a> has officially opened the doors at EVA Elsternwick Village Apartments, delivering a collection of move-in ready residences in one of Melbourne’s most tightly held neighbourhoods.

With only a limited number of residences remaining, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/eva-elsternwick-village-apartments-241-glen-huntly-road-elsternwick-vic-3185">EVA</a> presents a rare opportunity to secure a completed apartment in the heart of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/elsternwick-vic-3185">Elsternwick</a>, situated on the coveted Glen Huntly Road.

Comprising 101 residences across a mid-rise building, EVA offers a mix of spacious two- and three-bedroom apartments. Community feedback on Apartments.com.au consistently highlights the project’s quality finishes and well-resolved floorplan design.

Created in collaboration with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/via-architects">VIA Architects</a>, the project reflects a design ethos centred on resident experience and contextual sensitivity. Each apartment has been crafted with an emphasis on natural light, practical functionality, and acoustic performance.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93073 project_image_fid=357527]

Interiors channel a subtle Hamptons aesthetic, with engineered timber flooring, high ceilings, and soft, neutral finishes. Kitchens are appointed with ILVE European appliances, shaker-profile cabinetry, and stone benchtops, while bathrooms continue the same refined, understated palette.

Pitard Group, who also delivered the construction through their in-house team, has prioritised acoustic insulation through double glazing and noise-reducing materials - a quality noted by early residents and buyers alike.&nbsp;

Private outdoor space is a hallmark of each apartment, whether in the form of a balcony or sun-filled terrace. Many residences enjoy bay or city views, with floorplans that prioritise indoor-outdoor flow and functional layouts. Thoughtful inclusions such as Euro laundries, study zones, and abundant storage ensure the apartments are equally suited to downsizers and professionals seeking quality and low-maintenance living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93073 project_image_fid=357526]

EVA’s amenity offering extends beyond the apartments. A rooftop terrace, complete with in-built BBQs and panoramic views across Port Phillip Bay and the Melbourne skyline, invites residents to relax or entertain in style.&nbsp;

A fifth-floor residents lounge, with north-eastern orientation and floor-to-ceiling glazing, offers an ambient retreat enhanced by kitchen and bathroom facilities.&nbsp;

Ground-floor retail and dual lifts add further convenience, while basement car parking with secure storage rounds out the amenity offering.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93073 project_image_fid=357529]

As a move-in ready address, EVA also benefits from its exceptional location. Just 130 metres from Elsternwick Station and within walking distance of tram and bus links, it places residents minutes from the CBD and the bay.&nbsp;

The surrounding neighbourhood is a cultural and culinary hub, with institutions like Attica and Bang Bang nearby, as well as daily essentials within easy reach.&nbsp;

Green spaces including Elsternwick Park and Rippon Lea Estate offer a sense of retreat, while top-tier schools and health services add to the suburb’s appeal.&nbsp;

Completed and ready to move in, EVA Elsternwick Village Apartments offers two-bedroom residences from $899,000.

The final apartments in the most recently completed new development in Balwyn present some of the largest and most exclusive ever delivered in one of Melbourne’s most established and character-rich neighbourhoods.

Boutique developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/wulff-projects">Wulff Projects</a>,&nbsp;alongside partner <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/pga-group">PGA Group</a>, has just finished <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/threadneedle-balwyn-1-5-threadneedle-street-balwyn-vic-3103">Threadneedle</a>, 17 home-sized residences designed completely for the owner-occupier.

Named after its location on Threadneedle Street, the new project has been shaped by the heritage fabric of Balwyn. It offers two low-rise buildings of eight and nine apartments respectively, designed to emulate traditional standalone homes.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27816 project_image_fid=355582]

John Scaramuzzino, Director at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bruce-henderson-architects">Bruce Henderson Architects</a>, explains the design intention.

“Given the quiet residential character of the street with many homes dating back to the 1930s and 1940s, we approached Threadneedle wanting to appear less as a collection of apartments and more as a traditional residence. This led to creating not one but two buildings that could “breathe” with larger garden-based apartments functioning more like small homes.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27816 project_image_fid=355605]

The north-facing residences are nestled among extensive landscaped gardens by Ben Scott Garden Design, with over one-third of the site dedicated to greenery. The resulting setting is one of calm seclusion, where architecture and landscape work in tandem to offer immediate liveability.

With construction now complete, the final apartments include a top-floor, single-level penthouse residence priced from $2.8 million. This home offers three bedrooms, a dedicated study, two bathrooms plus powder room, and three car spaces with an oversized storage room.&nbsp;

Interiors prioritise spatial comfort and natural light, with three-metre-high ceilings, oversized internal doors and a full-width terrace oriented to the north, east and west.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27816 project_image_fid=355604]

Floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows ensure thermal performance across seasons, supported by automated external blinds, zoned heating and cooling, and a fireplace for added ambiance.

Each apartment has been individually designed to maximise privacy and garden outlooks. Kitchens combine refined finishes with practical considerations: stone benchtops, butler’s pantry, full-height joinery and concealed rangehoods.&nbsp;

The inclusion of dedicated home offices responds to contemporary living patterns, while bathrooms feature sculptural bathtubs and brushed nickel fixtures.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27816 project_image_fid=355590]

Threadneedle also integrates best-practice sustainability measures, achieving a 7 Star average NatHERS rating. Initiatives include solar PV systems, rainwater harvesting for toilet flushing and irrigation, and high-performing building insulation. These elements enhance daily comfort while reducing ongoing maintenance and energy demand.

"We believe Threadneedle sets a new standard of design excellence and building quality for Balwyn,"&nbsp;Scaramuzzino added.

"It’s an architectural response we’re particularly proud of, and one we’re sure residents will be equally proud to call home."

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=27816]

Final homes remaining as Threadneedle, Balwyn completes construction

On a quiet residential street in Brighton, boutique developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/jl-place">JL PLACE</a> has introduced a rare addition to the suburb’s traditionally single-dwelling streetscape.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/veil-brighton-17-rooding-street-brighton-vic-3186">Veil Brighton</a>, located at 17 Rooding Street, comprises just nine townhouses, a modest but deliberate response to local demand for low-maintenance housing in one of Melbourne’s most tightly held bayside suburbs.

Townhouses remain a minority in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/brighton-vic-3186">Brighton</a>’s housing mix, accounting for only 22 per cent of dwellings. Despite this, they continue to present an appealing alternative for those seeking scale and privacy without the upkeep of a standalone home. So much so that two of the homes were snapped up before any marketing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7877 project_image_fid=355771]

Veil reflects the shift toward lower-maintenance homes, offering a mix of two- and three-bedroom residents across two levels, with each home anchored by a generous private courtyard, a rare feature in Brighton that draws abundanty natural light deep into the interiors and provides a heightened sense of seclusion form the street.&nbsp;

Several homes also feature a ground-floor bedroom, delivering everyday ease and long-term comfort while still maintaining the sophistication of a two-level design.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/schmidt-pang-architects">Schmidt &amp; Pang</a>, the façade has been designed to appear as a single residence from the street, underscoring the project’s emphasis on subtlety and integration within its residential context.

The built form is expressed through clean lines and robust materiality, softened by layered planting and greenery throughout the site by John Patrick Landscape Architects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7877 project_image_fid=355852]

Interiors favour natural finishes, oak flooring, grey-toned tiles, and natural stone surfaces, complemented by brushed nickel fittings. Kitchens feature Miele appliances and stone benchtops, while bathrooms are styled to evoke a calm, spa-like experience.

Sustainability has informed both architecture and specification. A 6-star energy rating is supported by design features such as double glazing, natural ventilation, and high-grade insulation. LED lighting, water-efficient fittings, and bicycle parking encourage a lower-impact lifestyle across the development.

Each townhouse includes secure basement parking and is covered by a 10-year building guarantee.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7877 project_image_fid=355854]

With new townhouses in Brighton remaining in limited supply and demand from downsizers consistently strong, these private garden homes represent an increasingly scarce opportunity in one of Melbourne's most prestigious and highly sought-after postcodes.

Prices start from $1.529 million. Construction has commenced, with completion slated for late 2026.

Veil Brighton adds to JL PLACE’s growing portfolio of architecturally-led, low-scale housing. The project has been delivered in collaboration with builder <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/jeniton">JENITON</a>, continuing JL PLACE’s focus on design quality and craftsmanship.

Display apartments play a crucial role in helping buyers imagine how a space will look and feel once complete.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-albertine-by-mirvac-melbourne-31-queens-lane-melbourne-vic-3004">The Albertine</a> in Melbourne, development giant Mirvac has partnered with furniture maker and retailer MCM House to create a fully furnished, full-scale prototype that showcases the proportions, finishes, and design intent of the project’s three-bedroom residences.

As an added incentive, purchasers of any two- or three-bedroom apartment can receive up to $50,000 worth of MCM House furniture, allowing them to curate their new home with the same craftsmanship, contemporary design, and aesthetic showcased in the display apartment.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ae2e947b-2d51-4288-88fa-a35638e3be0f" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-albertine-by-mirvac-melbourne-31-queens-lane-melbourne-vic-3004"><img alt="Albertine" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-11-25%20at%209.27.26%E2%80%AFAM_1.png?VersionId=T5uSwgtTFwd1m5EdQF1inB.tBDgxqbtZ" /></a>

Oversized sofas, solid timber dining tables, and relaxed, low-profile seating demonstrate how the space accommodates real furniture, helping buyers clearly visualise how their new apartment could look, complete with pieces that genuinely suit the scale and design of the home.

The styling is simple but deliberate, with materials that pick up on the apartment’s natural light and neutral tones, creating cohesion without crowding the space.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="355f10d8-ee75-4546-a42e-4a54abcc806e" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-albertine-by-mirvac-melbourne-31-queens-lane-melbourne-vic-3004"><img alt="Albertine" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3e0b920b-3f17-47f0-8885-f67697a5f842" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-11-25%20at%201.17.07%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=tPcmBls5kt_SLqE2ONXrxgk5SnC1xERs" /></a>

Mirvac is now welcoming buyers through the display at The Albertine. Quietly yet conveniently positioned just off St Kilda Road on Queens Road, the development has attracted strong interest from inner-Melbourne and Bayside downsizers, professional couples seeking luxurious low-maintenance living, and design-focused buyers who want proximity to the CBD.

Apartments have been designed by Mirvac's inhouse design team with owner-occupiers at the forefront.&nbsp;The living and dining areas open directly onto a balcony, reinforcing the project’s emphasis on indoor-outdoor flow, while kitchens feature integrated appliances and soft-curve cabinetry which mirror the larger architectural themes at play throughout the building.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e8f9b371-17e1-4122-a615-074113096135" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-albertine-by-mirvac-melbourne-31-queens-lane-melbourne-vic-3004"><img alt="Albertine" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-11-25%20at%209.30.16%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=NCYvtMavnE1_YDhX6slAr7g84MWP0Ymp" /></a>

The Albertine offers one to four-bedroom residences complemented by exclusive resident-only amenity, including The Circadian Club, a wellness centre with an indoor pool and spa, gym, yoga and Pilates studio, and sauna, as well as The Elysian Room, a private dining space on level 10 with sweeping views across Melbourne.

Demand for townhouses in Melbourne’s inner west has surged as buyers seek the elusive combination of space, affordability, and location.&nbsp;

With family-first apartments increasingly rare and standalone homes often out of reach, townhouses have emerged as the new sweet spot, delivering generous living areas with lower maintenance needs within close proximity to the Melbourne CBD.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/kings-lane-south-kingsville-50-58-new-street-south-kingsville-vic-3015">Kings Lane</a>, the new townhouse development by the family-owned developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/blue-run">Blue Run</a>&nbsp;in South Kingsville, responds directly to this trend. Comprising just 25 residences designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>, the project offers a compelling alternative to both apartment downsizers and family upsizers. With three-bedroom homes priced under $1 million, it presents one of the area’s rare attainable pathways to townhouse living less than eight kilometres from the CBD.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145042 project_image_fid=355147]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/south-kingsville-vic-3015">South Kingsville</a> itself is quietly becoming one of Melbourne’s most dynamic pockets of urban renewal. Flanked by the established appeal of Yarraville, Newport and Williamstown, the suburb balances quiet, village-like streetscapes with major infrastructure upgrades and a growing slate of retail, dining and lifestyle amenity.&nbsp;

Kings Lane occupies a well-connected site at 50–58 New Street, just off Blackshaws Road and within walking distance of the emerging Union Quarter precinct, a major retail destination anchored by Woolworths, specialty food outlets and wellness services.

A 400-metre stroll brings residents to the Vernon Street shops, a local favourite known for its mix of independent grocers, cafes and family-run eateries. For broader shopping options, Altona Gate Shopping Centre and Yarraville Square are both within a short drive. Spotswood IGA and the Williamstown retail strip further broaden the convenience of daily essentials.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145042 project_image_fid=355139]

Dining options in the area lean toward eclectic and community-driven, with standouts like Rocco’s Deli, Dad and Dave’s, and Pizza d’ASPORTO offering a range of casual and elevated menus. Cafés such as Hudson Road Wine &amp; Beer and Blacksheep Coffee add to the lively yet local feel of the neighbourhood.

Green space is another hallmark of life at Kings Lane. Edwards Reserve is close enough for morning walks or casual sport, while larger parks like Newport Lakes, Yarraville Gardens, and Cruickshank Park are all a few minutes’ drive away. More than half of the nine-hectares of new green space or parkland being created as part of the West Gate tunnel works is located just at the end of New Street, the same street as Kings Lane.

For those with school-age children, South Kingsville is home to a range of quality childcare centres and schools, including Kingsville Primary, Spotswood Primary, and Williamstown North Primary. Community Children’s childcare and South Kingsville Preschool are nearby, making the suburb particularly attractive to young families.

Transport links continue to improve, with Spotswood Station and the West Gate Freeway both within a five-minute radius. Future upgrades, including the proposed sky rail for Newport and Spotswood, and the delivery of the West Gate Tunnel project, promise even better access to the CBD and Melbourne Airport in the years to come.

Kings Lane's 25 all-electric townhouses are currently under construction, and will complete in late 2026.
