<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

Adelaide

Renewal SA has recently announced its plans to purchase the former Adelaide Bus Station site on Franklin Street, which will be developed into a mixed-use site called Tapangka.

Tapangka, which is a Kaurna word that translates to journey, will aim to provide a new approach to city living, inspired by the journey of reconciliation, home ownership, sustainability, and collaboration between the city and the state.

The Adelaide City Council chose Renewal SA as the successful proponent of the 6,850 sqm site, with the group aiming to position the project as one of the most vibrant and inclusive residential developments and precincts in the state.

The project is set to deliver an unprecedented level of affordable housing in Adelaide's CBD, including a blend of long- and short-term housing options, contemporary commercial, civic, and retail spaces.

<img alt="Aerial image of the proposed Franklin Street site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ef320522-b33a-49f5-b751-cc6e7074ef5c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-05%20at%2011.55.28%20am_0.png?VersionId=dExzJD.ilJsUcOitH5SUzlpYYsGMmUkT" />Aerial image of the proposed Franklin Street site.

Renewal SA’s Manager of Reconciliation and Cultural Heritage, Kiran Dixon said Tapangka sits on the land of the Tarndanyungga, the place of the red kangaroo dreaming.&nbsp;

“This link to heritage will be celebrated in every aspect of Tapangka's development, from it’s planning and design, to it’s ongoing cultural life,” Dixon said.

Woods Bagot were engaged to design the precinct, which will consist of two mixed-use towers with around 392 apartments, accommodating more than 1,000 residents. At least 137 of the apartments (35%) will be affordable, including 51 affordable sale apartments and 86 affordable rental apartments.

With the Tapangka precinct the first CBD location to feature the emerging build-to-rent apartment model, the development will also include a 208-key hotel.

In addition to the apartments and hotel, the precinct will feature a central civic building that will be a place of entertainment, culture, and community. The building will showcase the best of sustainable construction and target carbon neutrality precinct-wide.

Woods Bagot’s Alex Hall said Adelaide is ready for a bold new approach to city living.

“The main attraction of Tapangka will be a signature carbon-neutral civic building. This building will be a place of entertainment, culture and community, and will nourish surrounding business,” Hall said.&nbsp;

Tree-lined laneways or "eat streets" will spill out onto the footpaths between Franklin and Grote streets, offering a combination of casual eateries and sit-down restaurant options both day and night. These streets will be surrounded by a backdrop of living green walls that will provide shade and cooling and mitigate the impacts of the heat-island effect.

<img alt="Render the proposed Franklin Street site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3e493062-131b-4935-92ab-f5b87e8a215d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-05%20at%2011.47.43%20am.png?VersionId=fxQTWTKiSwCmR8O2KqOcIiwqemQ.H.Tx" />Render the proposed "eat streets" within the Franklin Street site. Credit: Renewal SA

Renewal SA Chief Executive, Chris Menz said the site represents a significant economic opportunity for Adelaide and a chance to set a new benchmark for inner-city living.

“We have a target to deliver Adelaide’s first carbon neutral precinct, that will be focussed on connection, lifestyle, culture and growth for our city,” he said

“Tapangka will feature a diverse mix of long and short-term housing options. The precinct will also be a new place to do business, featuring a range of flexible commercial spaces, and crucially it will extend and compliment the Adelaide’s central market experience, and increase visitation to the city.”

The development will also feature extensive public art throughout Tapangka, celebrating the Kaurna culture, and a public open space owned by the City of Adelaide along Grote and Bowen streets will undergo a $1.2 million upgrade by the state as part of the development.

The multi-million-dollar development will become a significant jobs driver for South Australia, with more than 1,300 jobs expected to be generated during the construction period alone. The project will also contribute more than $161 million of Gross Value Add to the state.

Renewal SA has a proven track record of shaping cities and precincts, including urban infill redevelopment at Bowden and the adaptive reuse of the former Mitsubishi car plant in Adelaide's south to create Tonsley Innovation District.

Construction of the Tapangka precinct will be staged and is expected to commence in early 2026 with opportunities for designers, developers and builders to participate in the project. Project completion is anticipated by 2029.

Former Adelaide Bus Station earmarked for major mixed-use redevelopment 

Adelaide has continued to lead the property bounce back with the house price fall expected in Sydney and Melbourne not reaching the South Australian capital.

Adelaide dwelling prices could rise by up to eight per cent growth, SQM Research&rsquo;s&nbsp;Boom and Bust&nbsp;report predicted last November.

Units are expected to yield better results than homes this year, as affordability issues restrict many buyers from entering the property market.

Nonetheless, interstate investor interest has continued, especially as Adelaide rose to be the third most liveable city in the world according to the latest Economist Intelligence Unit&rsquo;s survey.

Urban has wrapped the best apartments on offer across South Australia&#39;s capital.

1. Quayview on Adelphi, Glenelg North 
Developer: Barrio Developments

Offering a collection of 44 apartments, Quayview on Adelphi delivers a collection of 21 unique floorplans and views, catering for every kind of lifestyle.

Many of the residences provide 360-degree panoramic cityscapes, including views across parklands and botanical gardens.

Set on Pirie Street, the development is within close proximity to Hutt Street and Rundle Street, a number of transport options and strong educational institutions.

New apartments in the Festival State: The top five off the plan apartments for sale in Adelaide 

EXPERT OBSERVER

Adelaide is the best story in Australian real estate that never gets told. It&rsquo;s our most under-rated market and one that is delivering big time to those smart enough to see its potential.

For any investor who likes great value for money, high rental yields driven by ultra-low vacancy rates and great potential for growth underpinned by a rising economy, then Adelaide needs to be on their list of prime considerations.

My latest quarterly survey of sales activity and prices confirms that Adelaide is the big improver among the city markets. The previous quarterly survey found a record number of rising markets, but this new survey has topped that by a big margin.

Two-thirds of suburbs across the Adelaide metropolitan area now have rising sales activity. The number of rising markets identified in my five most recent quarterly surveys have been 52 62 93 104 125.

The continued rise of the Adelaide market has been led by several municipalities which increased the number of rising suburbs in this survey: Charles Sturt, Campbelltown, Tea Tree Gully, Marion, Onkaparinga, Mitcham, Holdfast Bay and Playford.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6124 project_image_fid=26465]

But the leading LGA continues to be Port Adelaide Enfield, which has 14 suburbs with rising sales activity, including Blair Athol, Broadview, Croydon Park, Greenacres, Klemzig, North Haven, Windsor Gardens and Royal Park.

Close behind is the City of Marion, where the number of rising suburbs has increased from 8 to 13 in this latest survey. Growth markets include Park Holme, Plympton Park, Glengowrie, Dover Gardens, Mitchell Park and Morphettville.

Another big improver is Charles Sturt, where the number of upwardly-mobile suburbs has jumped from 6 to 12.&nbsp; Tea Tree Gully has almost matched that, with 11 rising suburbs, compared to 6 three months ago.

The LGA of Onkaparinga in the far south of Adelaide continues to feature, with 10 suburbs with improving sales activity, led by Happy Valley with quarterly sales of 38 54 60 79.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6082 project_image_fid=37152]

There is growing demand in the affordable regions in Adelaide&rsquo;s north: the Playford LGA has rising sales activity in 12 of its 13 suburbs, while nearby Salisbury has 9 rising suburbs.

In the Playford LGA, quarterly sales in Andrews Farm have been 42 54 63 88 while Blakeview has recorded 38 46 49 48 54 67. In the Salisbury LGA, Mawson Lakes has recorded 67 80 87 115 122 and Paralowie has done 41 72 62 80 101.

Other improvers include the LGAs of Campbelltown (7 growth suburbs), Burnside (5), Holdfast Bay (5) and Mitcham (7). In the suburb of Campbelltown, quarterly sales have been 56 60 66 66 86 80 97, while in Somerton Park in Holdfast Bay sales have been 31 40 41 45 59.

Overall, there are 12 municipalities across the Adelaide metro area with at least five growth suburbs.

Prices in Adelaide have responded to the steady uplift in the number of rising suburbs, with 90% of locations across the city recording increases in their median house prices over the past 12 months. A similar number have risen in the most recent quarter.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27695 project_image_fid=133698]

The most prolific municipality for price growth is the Onkaparinga LGA, noted earlier as an area with growth in the number of suburbs with rising activity: 12 suburbs in this LGA have delivered double-digit growth in their median house prices, led by Seaford (up 19% to $420,000) and Huntfield Heights (up 17% to $335,000). Most of these growth markets have median house prices below $450,000.

The Port Adelaide-Enfield, the leading LGA for the number of rising suburbs based on sales activity, is also seeing strong growth in median prices. Dernancourt ($530,000) and Largs Bay ($655,000) have both increased 18%, while Largs North ($515,000) has grown 17% and Kilburn ($475,000) 16%.

Charles Sturt, noted earlier as an LGA where the number of rising markets has doubled, has good price growth, headed by Henley Beach South (up 20% to $1,060,000), Brompton (up 18% to $595,000) and Grange (up 16% to $830,000).

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27233 project_image_fid=80673]

Suburbs with strong price uplift are distributed right across the Adelaide metropolitan area. Notable performance has occurred in Seacliff (Holdfast Bay), up 25% to $865,000; Toorak Gardens (Burnside), up 23% to $1,600,000; Craigburn Farm (Mitcham), up 22% to $860,000; Lockleys (West Torrens), up 24% to $810,000; and Fullarton (Unley), up 21% to $1,105,000).

In the cheaper areas of the city, Salisbury Downs ($355,000), Salisbury Heights ($455,000), Elizabeth Downs ($210,000) and Munno Para ($295,000) have all risen 16-17%.

But the No.1 suburb for annual growth in median house prices is Walkerville, which has increased 31% to $1,490,000.

Plans have been unveiled to build Adelaide&rsquo;s tallest tower behind the Freemasons Hall.

A 160m-high tower is proposed for North Terrace.

The $120 million proposal includes a mix of hotel, student accommodation, office and hospitality spaces.

The city&rsquo;s Freemasons branch are considering the proposal which would raise funds for repairs to their 1920s heritage-listed building.

The Adelaide Advertiser advised a joint-venture partner was likely to be sought.

It has been estimated around $9 million is needed for rectifications.

The proposal includes 200 hotel rooms and 204 student accommodation beds across at least 33 storeys inspired by the architectural principle of Entasis.

George J Nowak, of the Charterhill Group, has filed for bankruptcy after the Federal Court in Adelaide froze his assets and those of his wife back in February.
At the time, the <a href="/news/federal-court-freezes-assets-of-charterhills-george-nowak">court had ordered the surrender of their passports, and restricted their travel outside of the country</a>, while ASIC investigated the collapse of the Charterhill Group.
The Charterhill Group specialized in assisting clients to invest in property with their SMSFs. This left nearly $6 million of super at risk.
Macks Advisory’s Peter Ivan Macks has been appointed as Nowak’s trustee, and he has advised that the bankruptcy came following an appointment of liquidators to companies within the Charterhill Group Lending Solutions International Pty Ltd and Nova Real Estate Pty Ltd.
Nowak, who lodged a statement of affairs with the trustee, listed 31 companies he was director and/or shareholder of.
The statement of affairs was signed and dated 30 June 2014, and lodged with the Debtor's Petition on the same day. The Debtor's Petition was accepted on 2 July 2014.
It is noted that unsecured creditors totals approximately $7 million. This includes a claim in his estate, brought by Nova Real Estate’s liquidators – of approximately $6 million.
Investigations are underway, but return to creditors at this stage is unlikely.
The following companies in the Charterhill Group were placed under external control in February:
•    Lending Solutions International Pty Ltd – liquidators appointed (Andrew Heard and Anthony Phillips of Heard Phillips)
•    Nova Real Estate Pty Ltd – external administrators appointed (Andrew Heard and Anthony Phillips of Heard Phillips)
•    EJ Property Developments Pty Ltd – receivers and managers appointed (Michael Basedow and Leigh Prior of Pitcher Partners)
•    Financial Wellness Pty Ltd – receivers and managers appointed (Michael Basedow and Leigh Prior of Pitcher Partners).

Adelaide housing market update: Tim Lawless

<html><body>
EXPERT OBSERVER
Adelaide is challenging Canberra as the most consistent market in capital city Australia. It keeps delivering good sales activity and above-average results on house prices – and continues to be our most under-rated market.
You’d never know any of this, as real estate consumers, because of the way mainstream media reports real estate – a focus on median price data to the exclusion of all other market barometers, sweeping generalisations which often discuss Australia as a single market, an obsession with Sydney and Melbourne as the only markets of importance, an annoying tendency to zero in on negatives, and a host of other problems.
Media seldom bothers to discuss Adelaide and when it gets the occasional brief mention it’s usually a generalised “Adelaide prices grew only 1% in the past year” or “the median house price for Adelaide fell 0.3% in the latest quarter”.
This tells us nothing of value – and disguises the multiplicity of scenarios playing out in the markets of the South Australia capital city.
So, for something with a little more depth, that tells you something that actually has value, consider the following:
In the five years Hotspotting has been conducting quarterly surveys of sales activity and price trends, Adelaide has never delivered a poor result. Most cities have had peaks and troughs in that time, but Adelaide just keeps on producing steady markets with consistent demand. 
Seven out of ten Adelaide suburbs have experienced growth in their median house prices in the past 12 months, many of them with rises above 5%. 
The list of suburbs with growth above 15% is dominated by top-end locations, a positive sign for the market overall, which we believe is poised for a significant growth phase.
Hotspotting’s Winter survey has identified 64 Adelaide suburbs with rising sales momentum, the second highest quarterly result for the city since we started the surveys. Over the past couple of years, the number of growth suburbs has been 45, 58, 61, 71, 60, 62 and 64.
Adelaide continues to rank well ahead of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, as well as the recovering Perth market, in terms of the number of growth suburbs – and ahead of most state regional jurisdictions (where many of the strong growth markets are found at present).
There are 10 Local Government Areas across the Adelaide metropolitan area with three or more suburbs with upwardly-mobile markets.
The Marion LGA, a middle-market area in the south-west of Adelaide which has been a market leader for the past 18 months, is once again a standout – one that ranks nationally. It has nine suburbs with rising sales patterns, including Ascot Park, Edwardstown, Glengowrie, Hallett Cove, Marion, O’Halloran Hill and Seacombe Gardens.
The Charles Sturt LGA, which extends north-west from central Adelaide out to the beach areas, is close behind with eight rising suburbs. They include inner-city Brompton (where quarterly sales have been 23, 32, 38 and 50) as well as middle-market suburbs like Findon, Seaton, Flinders Park (quarterly sales 22, 25, 25, 32, 35 and 38), Woodville South and Fulham Gardens. Henley Beach and West Beach also have growth momentum.
Port Adelaide Enfield continues to be a leading precinct, with seven growth suburbs including Croydon Park, Dernancourt, Greenacres, North Haven, Rosewater and Royal Park.
Onkaparinga, which always features in our Adelaide analysis, also has seven suburbs with growth momentum – including Aldinga Beach (where quarterly sales have been 54, 63, 67 and 70), Christies Beach, Hackham, Happy Valley, Old Reynella and Seaford.
Six municipalities have between three and five rising markets each: the Burnside, Holdfast Bay, Mitcham, Salisbury, Unley and West Torrens LGAs.
While sources such as CoreLogic and SQM Research often report annual growth of only 1-2% in Adelaide house prices, these generalised figures disguise individual areas which have done better. Our suburb-by-suburb analysis shows that 70% of Adelaide suburbs have median house prices higher than a year ago - and almost half of those have grown by more than 5%.
Of the 189 Adelaide suburban markets analysed, 54 have grown 5% or more and 64 have increased by less than 5%. There are only 17 suburbs in the Adelaide metropolitan area where median house prices have fallen by more than 5%.
Many of the suburbs with the highest annual growth are towards the upper end of the Adelaide market, headed by North Adelaide (up 29% to $1,075,000), Somerton Park (up 27% to $955,000), Unley (up 14% to $990,000) and Henley Beach South (up 15% to $985,000). Aldgate and Beulah Park, with median house prices in the $800,000s, have both risen 15-16% in the past 12 months.
But there is strong growth also in other price ranges, including Mansfield Park (up 20% to $405,000), Elizabeth North (up 18% to $180,000), Underdale (up 16% to $665,000) and Broadview (up 15% to $570,000).
