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

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

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

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

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

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

DVB Projects to launch second Broadbeach apartment tower as demolition commences

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

Today we launched the first episode of our brand new Luxury Listings video series, featuring OSK Property's Melbourne Square.

The video explores the deluxe three-bed apartments, sub penthouses and the impressive dual level $23M cold shell penthouse. We also caught up with Coco Republic's Stephanie Sanders to learn about the bespoke interior design options available to buyers.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="415" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lrcEjSdiwx8" title="YouTube video player" width="660"></iframe>

The $2.8 billion award-winning development features twin elliptical residential towers and is the largest new penthouse offering to hit the Victorian market in 2022.

Stage One of Melbourne Square was designed by Cox Architecture and completed by builder Multiplex in April 2021.&nbsp;

The SkyHomes in the precinct are set on top of 14,000 square metres of public and private amenity, including a host of resident-only facilities, a full-line Woolworths supermarket, an 87-place childcare centre and a 3,745 square metre public park.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=2929]

The resident-only amenities offer a host of luxurious spaces at Melbourne Square. This includes a sweeping resort-style heated outdoor lap and wading pool, a sun terrace, an indoor pool with views over Melbourne, sauna, yoga studio, music room, gyms, golf simulator, cinema, private dining areas and kitchen facilities.

Since launch, the landmark project has also received multiple industry accolades, winning two International Property Awards and being named as a finalist in the Urban Development Institute of Australia and Property Council of Australia's respective awards programs for Best Mixed-Use Development 2021 and 2022.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2929 project_image_fid=201002]

<h2>DELUXE SKYHOMES</h2>

As you can see in the video, these homes look just like a traditional luxury family home – very spacious, state-of-the-art appliances and premium fittings – the only difference is that you also get incredible panoramic views of the Melbourne city skyline and world-class amenities.

The floorplans are meticulously set out to ensure views are maximised and living spaces are flexible.

Opportunities to secure an extensive footprint in Melbourne's CBD don't come around often, and the lucky buyer will get to enjoy some of the most exquisite 360-degree views I've ever seen.

WATCH: URBAN LUXURY LISTINGS EP 1 - Melbourne Square, Southbank, VIC

Melbourne's brand new $1 billion dual tower project, known as Queens Place, has recently completed the construction of its first tower.

We were invited to take an exclusive tour of the apartments and luxury amenities, take a look at our apartment tour video:&nbsp;

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="415" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EkNWE9trIpE" title="YouTube video player" width="660"></iframe>

The development's design was a collaboration by leading design firms Fender Katsalidis Architects and Cox Architecture.&nbsp;

A design feature I found particularly interesting is that as each tower rises, they veer away from each other, creating visual asymmetry and maximising views for residents on upper levels.&nbsp;

On the ground floor, you're welcomed into the most stunning lobby, complete with an incredible light installation.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2806 project_image_fid=175416]

As soon as you step foot in your apartment, you're met with this incredible view of the city skyline through the floor-to-ceiling glazing. It's a view you would never tire of and one of the most rewarding features of apartment living.&nbsp;

The flow is open plan and feels light and spacious. Little details like the wide panel timber flooring make the room feel even larger, and depending on whether you opt for a single wall kitchen or a galley configuration, there is plenty of room for dining to be separate from the living area.

The kitchens feature integrated rangehoods and Miele gas cooktops with timeless timber joinery. You'll also notice that these wall sconce lights are a unique feature piece and are also found in the bathrooms.

All bathrooms and ensuites are fully tiled and include freestanding timber vanities, deep square basins and modern tapware. Many apartments also have wall-spanning walk-in showers.&nbsp;

The bedrooms also offer great views of the city, with expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing. Soft grey carpet makes the room feel cosy, while the full height mirrored wardrobes create a feeling of spaciousness.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2806 project_image_fid=175424]

All residents will have access to the extensive 3-level amenities, including a 25m swimming pool with a thriving green wall, a fully equipped gymnasium, a karaoke room and a dining room complete with its own wine cellar, as well as a library and games room for billiards, card games and mahjong.

Residents in the tower's High Rise, Queens Residences and Queens Terrace apartments will have access to several more amenities on levels 52 and 53.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2806 project_image_fid=175430]

Whether you're running on the treadmill, relaxing in the steam room, or enjoying a drink in the lounge, you can enjoy panoramic views of the city.

The swimming pool is surrounded by grey marbled tiles, the private 10-person dining area features a statement stone table, and the elegant lounge spaces include multiple fireplaces. One of my favourite spots is this relaxation area; it's absolutely flooded with light through the opulent double-height void.

Apartment Tour Video: Queens Place by 3L Alliance at 157 A’Beckett Street and 370 Queen Street, Melbourne

In early 2020, we took a tour of the Yarra One display suite – and just recently we were invited&nbsp;to visit the newly completed development.&nbsp;Take a look at our apartment tour:

<h2>YARRA ONE AT A GLANCE</h2>

Developer: EcoWorld International

Architects:&nbsp;Fender Katsalidis Architects

Homes from:&nbsp;$455,000

Location:&nbsp;16-22 Claremont Street, South Yarra

Located just a street back from Chapel Street in the heart of South Yarra, the precinct is noticeably quiet,&nbsp;despite being a stone's throw from one of Melbourne's top shopping and dining precincts.&nbsp;

Designed by Fender Katsalidis and delivered by EcoWorld in December 2020, Yarra One has been a hit with local buyers who understand the benefits of living in such a well-connected area with a thriving hub of amenities within walking distance. Just south of Yarra One is Toorak Road with South Yarra Station and the Como Centre less than 5 minutes walk away – and to the east is Chapel Street with trams running every 12 minutes.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3127 project_image_fid=181268]

All homes are very spacious and well laid out, with a lovely open plan flow giving you enough space to entertain.

The floor to ceiling glazing allows plenty of natural light to fill the living area, with 15mm timber flooring giving the space a sense of warmth. All balconies have multiple access points with room for a barbeque and outdoor dining table.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3127 project_image_fid=181983]

The kitchens feature bespoke cabinetry with integrated Miele appliances and stunning stone benchtops, many of which also include breakfast bars. I'm impressed by the amount of built-in storage in each home, proving the developer has clearly considered these apartments' livability.&nbsp;

Most residences are equipped with expansive euro laundries, and many also feature a dedicated study area – which gives you the flexibility to work from home.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3127 project_image_fid=182003]

The industrial styled bathrooms are a real highlight. Sophisticated walk-in showers feature frosted glass, rainfall showerheads and modern nickel tapware – which is timeless styling that you are guaranteed to love in years to come.&nbsp;

Apartment bedrooms capture plenty of natural light, with many showcasing impressive views through the curved panel glazing.&nbsp; All master suites also include an adjoining ensuite.&nbsp;&nbsp;

At Yarra One, residents will have access to the on-site Tesla electric car and the use of the concierge service for the authentic hotel experience.&nbsp;

If you want to invite friends around for dinner, what better place to share a meal than this stunning dining room? You've got a state-of-the-art kitchen, a bar area with its own wine cellar and lounge seating by the fireplace, as well as an alfresco courtyard which is perfect for warmer months. There are also two outdoor spa pools, and all the grounds have been meticulously landscaped and maintained.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3127 project_image_fid=181997]

A resident favourite is&nbsp;the exquisite rooftop terrace with the most spectacular views of the city skyline.&nbsp;
