<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/aura-by-aqualand-north-sydney-168-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">AURA</a>&nbsp;doesn’t just rise over North Sydney, it redefines it. Now in its final release, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/aqualand-australia">Aqualand</a>’s $1 billion architectural statement is not just complete, but already reshaping the way people live, connect and dine in this rapidly evolving harbourside CBD.

Positioned beside the new Victoria Cross Metro Station and boasting panoramic views across Sydney Harbour, Aura’s 386 residences crown a mixed-use precinct designed with unapologetic ambition. The curvaceous sandstone-inspired form by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>, paired with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/richards-stanisich">Richard Stanisich</a>’s understated interiors, sets a design tone that’s both monumental and intimate.

At its peak, literally, the two penthouses so spectacular they command their own names; La Davina and Il Magnate. The residents are spread across the&nbsp;entire top floor, offering what many consider the most refined residences ever built in North Sydney. Designed by Richard and Kirsten Stanisich, each four-bedroom home is meticulously crafted to evoke calm, space, and permanence.&nbsp;

The kitchens are fully wrapped in natural stone, with integrated Gaggenau appliances, Sub-Zero fridges, concealed sculleries, and even a zip hydro tap delivering boiling, chilled and sparkling water on demand. A linear stone fireplace anchors the open-plan living space, dividing lounge and dining zones with quiet sophistication.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=292861]

The master suite, meanwhile, feels more like a private retreat, complete with a custom stone makeup vanity, walk-through dressing area, and spa-inspired ensuite with heated stone floors, a freestanding Villeroy &amp; Boch tub, and timber veneer joinery throughout.

Kirsten Stanisich, Director of Richards Stanisich, said the penthouses offer incredible scale reflective of a single residence.&nbsp;

“We sought inspiration for these remarkable residences from the classic top-floor Parisian apartment," Stanisich said.

"We looked at what made these French apartments so elegant and found it really came down to their scale. It was ultimately this generosity of space that we used for the AURA penthouses, where we’ve designed considered rooms with deep large-scale proportions."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=310337]

Everyday living at Aura feels no less elevated. A dedicated 24-hour concierge, Technogym fitness centre, sky dining terraces, and a resort-style pool serve a lifestyle designed to rival luxury hotels.

At street level, Aqualand’s own hospitality arm, Etymon Projects, curates a precinct of LA-style bistros, Japanese fine dining, and local wine bars, all seamlessly integrated into the building’s sculptural podium.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=310337]

This final chapter, aptly dubbed The Finale, is more than a sales phase, it’s an invitation to two of the most exclusive apartments ever to be built in North Sydney.

With limited residences remaining, buyers can access curated incentives including stamp duty rebates, rental guarantees, legal fee coverage, and even $20,000 towards dining within the precinct.

From generous one-bedders to The Icons, two singular penthouses priced well into prestige territory, Aura’s offerings reflect a scale and calibre rarely seen in urban Sydney. And with move-in now immediate, this is no longer a promise of future luxury. It’s happening.

Aqualand unveils penthouse collection at AURA By Aqualand in North Sydney

There’s no sign of the development wave that began several years ago slowing along Old Burleigh Road.

Around 10 new apartment developments are either underway or preparing to launch along the 800-metre strip stretching from the southern edge of Surfers Paradise towards the heart of Broadbeach, collectively adding just shy of 1,000 new apartments to the beachfront corridor.

The latest plans propose a further 30 apartments to replace an original six-unit walk-up on a 658 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/20a-old-burleigh-road-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">20A Old Burleigh Road</a>. The 14-storey building has been designed by Ferro Chow Architecture, which recently joined the Elevation Architecture Group.

The developer behind the project is Geoffrey Booth, whose Future Liv In has focused on delivering rental accommodation across regional Australia.

<img alt="Old Burleigh Road" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="99d393e7-d404-43bc-80cb-6255c39b83d6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-01-05%20at%2012.28.44%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ZFT8F3mOny4M4ut.kFF3woC9WH9oR5gT" />

The Old Burleigh Road development will comprise 18 two-bedroom apartments, 10 three-bedroom apartments, and a single four-bedroom residence occupying the entirety of level 12. Above, the building will be crowned by a two-storey penthouse with its own private lift, several multi-purpose rooms, and two rooftop terraces — one featuring a puppy lawn and spa, the other offering a private swimming pool, sunset deck, and built-in barbecue.

Resident amenities will be located on the second level and include a pool with adjoining spa, cabana, and pool deck, along with an indoor residents’ lounge featuring a bar and an alfresco barbecue kitchen.

In the architectural statement submitted by Elevation Architecture, the project is referred to as “UMI”, which the firm says has been “inspired by the majestic hinterlands and shaped by the coastal climate”.

“It is an exemplar of how community living can still feel at one with nature, breathable, and deeply connected in place,” the architects noted.

They added that the site benefits from established building separation to adjoining towers, helping to maintain privacy, sunlight, and residential amenity, while still offering direct beach access within an urban setting.

“Drawing inspiration from the Gold Coast hinterlands and the region’s natural landscape, the podium and tower detail highlights the contrasting elements of treetop green and cliff-face peach. The vibrant texture and materiality shaped by time has a richness in depth and character.”

Old Burleigh Road has become a hotspot for developers, with the three-tower Jewel development kickstarting a wave of projects up and down the strip when it was completed in 2020.

Currently under construction and approaching completion is <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/faro-broadbeach-123-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">FARO Broadbeach</a> by 5Point and Bottega, 21 large-scale half- and full-floor apartments. 5Point is also behind the recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lumara-108-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">Lumara</a>, another 37 apartments to add to the pipeline.

Luxury builder GRAYA is progressing construction on <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/enclave-by-graya-118-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">Enclave</a>, its first Gold Coast tower, while Polycell remains the most active developer on the street. They are preparing to launch <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sandpiper-broadbeach-155-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">Sandpiper</a>, a 50-storey redevelopment of the former Sandpiper Holiday Resort that will deliver around 200 apartments alongside extensive resident amenity. The group also has another 130-apartment project approved nearby, as does <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/dvb-approved-for-second-broadbeach-apartment-development">Dean Gallagher’s DVB Projects</a>.

Sunshine Coast developer Habitat Development Group continues to position itself as one of the region’s largest new apartment developers.

Its latest project is in Maroochydore, where it is currently delivering <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-millwell-2-millwell-road-east-maroochydore-qld-4558">The Millwell</a>. Adjacent to the new 53-hectare Maroochydore City Centre project, Habitat is planning a further 180 apartments on a 3,468 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/132-136-aerodrome-road-maroochydore-qld-4558">132–136 Aerodrome Road</a>. The site was purchased with approval for a smaller 13-storey, 103-unit building.

Habitat will demolish the two existing retail centres, currently home to the Salvation Army Family Store and Neighbours Aid, and replace them with an 18-storey building featuring the significant rooftop amenities that have become a hallmark of Habitat developments in recent years. The rooftop will include both indoor and outdoor spaces, anchored by an infinity swimming pool.

<img alt="Maroochydore" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ad434d07-666b-4614-b33e-530ad6a2d261" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-01-05%20at%2010.12.33%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7pyLsPWKQuwv0us3_v.9DmbzEc2VZe9Z" />

There will be a mix of one- to four-bedroom apartments.

The Development Assessment Report, submitted to the Sunshine Coast Council, says the proposal&nbsp;is not speculative, but a response to both zoning intent and demonstrated housing need.

“The proposed development represents an appropriate and logical intensification of the site, consistent with the planning framework and the intended urban outcomes for the locality.”

Across the Sunshine Coast, councils are increasingly scrutinising not just height or yield, but whether new projects genuinely align with the long-term structure plans underpinning growth corridors. The&nbsp;ASTP Planning Report&nbsp;reinforces the approach, noting that the project has been shaped around site responsiveness rather than generic typology.

“The development has been designed to respond to the physical constraints and opportunities of the site, while delivering a high-quality residential outcome that integrates with the existing and emerging urban context.”

<img alt="Habitat" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3a03fc54-4ca5-4868-88d0-eeced70604e2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-01-05%20at%2010.12.28%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=1pkK3lJrrZjkghTLBReM2zatcas4Nc4B" />

In mid-2025, Habitat, a developer that also builds its own projects, commenced construction on The Millwell, located just over one kilometre from the new proposal. The Millwell will comprise more than 200 apartments across two eight-storey buildings.

Habitat also has two projects on Lake Kawana in Birtinya: <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/st-clair-birtinya-930-931-waterside-retreat-birtinya-qld-4575">St Clair</a>, a 200-unit, two-building development launched last year and set to welcome buyers this year; and Esperance, a 175-apartment project currently progressing through the development approval process.

John Camilleri, the breeder of legendary racehorse Winx, is set to deliver a landmark two-tower beachfront development that would redefine the Surfers Paradise skyline.

Camilleri, who spent around $100 million acquiring development sites across the Gold Coast in 2025, has lodged plans for two new towers on the dress-circle stretch of Garfield Terrace, just two days before Christmas.

In assembling the site, Camilleri's Celestino Developments has effectively acquired the 71 Garfield project by Iris Capital and AALTO by Weiya Holdings, creating an unrivalled <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/63-79-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">4,000 sqm beachfront holding along Garfield Terrace</a>.

The proposal comprises two residential towers of 55 and 48 storeys, linked by a dramatic skybridge which will home “exclusive VIP and wellness amenities.”

In total, the development would deliver 275 two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments across the two towers, rising above a shared landscaped podium that incorporates a central green space and a beachfront swimming pool stretching more than 90 metres.

<img alt="DBI" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="097900f3-6bef-4919-b168-b08f2f762876" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.37.58%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=et0SpmcvaPPVrexI_zWi46BVFtZBxAzx" />

Architecture firm DBI, in documents submitted to Gold Coast City Council, said the project at 63–79 Garfield Terrace would “establish a new benchmark for beachfront residential living on the Gold Coast.”

"The project occupies a rare, uninterrupted oceanfront site and has been shaped by a design philosophy that merges architectural elegance with environmental responsiveness and a carefully curated lifestyle experience. Together, the 48-storey North Tower and 55-storey South Tower form a distinctive twin-tower composition whose dynamic silhouette will make a significant contribution to the Surfers Paradise skyline."

DBI said the architectural language draws inspiration from the fluidity and movement of the coastal landscape.

"Each tower is defined by organic, curving forms and continuous balcony ribbons that wrap the buildings, providing deep shading, enhancing environmental performance, and reinforcing the rhythmic, sculptural expression of the façade. These balcony forms also reduce the apparent mass of the towers while maintaining strong visual continuity from podium to summit. Sculpted reflective downturns run along the western spine of both towers, shifting and lifting as they extend upwards to frame service zones and open eastward to maximise ocean views."

<img alt="Garfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a2a00ce3-a0e9-45d6-b4b5-b7baed592ac5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.53.40%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=DnruWV1dhLrtXOeElwekyd7vPq2gw55t" />

The project’s most striking feature is the skybridge at level 45, which will house executive lounges, formal dining spaces, wellness facilities and panoramic ocean-facing views.

“The skybridge enhances the identity of the development, promotes social interaction, and delivers a lifestyle experience not found elsewhere on the Gold Coast,” DBI added.

The podium will host an extensive suite of recreational amenities, including resident lounges, private dining rooms, a large open green lawn, and the signature 90-metre pool stretching along the beachfront. The pool is divided into lap, lounge and children’s zones.

The southern end of the podium will accommodate additional wellness facilities, including a gymnasium, plunge pools, treatment rooms and a dedicated yoga lawn.

<img alt="Garfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ee1b4f25-231f-4804-83b1-a573a1481962" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.55.47%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=zObzIA3D5w7EwqPsHjr2pKrA4vbB28zL" />

There will be 127 apartments in the North Tower and 148 in the South Tower, including multiple penthouses, while the Enderley Avenue and Oceanway frontages will be activated by a series of food and beverage tenancies.

Camilleri emerged as the most active site acquirer on the Gold Coast in 2025. He spent just over $30 million acquiring Pacific Point, a 10-level Surfers Paradise apartment block and an adjoining three-level duplex, from fellow racing identity and Aquis billionaire Tony Fung. Plans are now underway for a 93-apartment, 40-storey tower on the 1,682 sqm site.

He also paid $53.65 million for the 1,500 sqm Garfield Terrace site previously marketed as AALTO by Weiya Holdings, before acquiring the adjoining parcel from hotel billionaire Sam Arnaout’s Iris Capital, the developer behind V&amp;A Broadbeach.

The Melbourne-based HLA Group is the latest developer to expand into South East Queensland, lodging plans for a unique mixed-use short-term accomodation and apartment building in Taringa, with the building design inspired by the Glasswing Butterfly.

The development application for 10 Morrow Street seeks approval for a total of 232 dwellings, comprising 116 residential apartments and 116 short-stay accommodation units. The build-to-sell residential component is made up of 31 one-bedroom apartments, 67 two-bedroom apartments, 17 three-bedroom apartments, and a single four-bedroom apartment, offering a diverse mix aimed at singles, couples, families, and downsizers.

<img alt="Taringa" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="33913cd4-9839-4456-b325-d35b3f8b4694" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.40.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=sLvc7jUrYzDwqPDZBPrXTosKHDSp.qrt" />

Designed by Ellivo Architects, the tower takes strong inspiration from nature, with the architectural language driven by one of Queensland’s most delicate species. As described in the planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council, Ellivo Architects state the design is “inspired by the elegance of the Glasswing butterfly," and mirrors the graceful sweep of its wings, a form that feels light, fluid, and alive.

“Lush subtropical greenery is throughtfull woven throughout, transforming the building into a sanctuary in the heart of the city.”

The proposal positions the building as more than a conventional residential tower, with Ellivo Architects describing 10 Morrow Street as “an urban oasis that blends short term accomodation with residential living. A destination for rest, relaxation, and renewal.”

<img alt="Taringa" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="84e9a0ff-464e-4973-bffe-5d5a8fe9f087" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.40.32%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dhX9eVgUaQE2TvCzJPhF8N8_hzYSKpyK" />

Formally, the building’s massing and floorplate are directly shaped by its butterfly inspiration. Ellivo explain that, “adopting the wings of the Glasswing Butterfly, the tower's plan is divided into four distinct quadrants, each shaped to mirror the wing's segmented geometry and taking the slender ‘veins’ up the facade of the tower.”

"This approach results in a sculpted tower form with articulated façades and a strong vertical expression."

<img alt="Taringa" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5947011d-ff6c-4a57-bdc1-9072a472a79c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.40.29%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=nnGqd4WCZM8AOJZY.c3u49BO4LurKRhb" />

The Assessment Report by Human Habitats said the 19-storey tower capitalises on its strategic connectivity and prominence at the entrance of Taringa Village and adjoining the Taringa Station.

"The proposal offers a significant revitalisation of the subject site that integrates architectural excellence, innovation, and sustainable design to directly address long-standing connectivity and safety challenges, housing supply , and diversity together with enhanced streetscape activation and convenient access to major transport corridors."

HLA Group Australia is registered to South Yarra and is currently delivering Adamson No.5, just 15 luxury apartments that start from around $2 million.&nbsp;

Earlier this year Sunkin Property released Highett Common, their sustainable masterplan in the heart of the sought-after Bayside suburb.

We recently caught up with Scott Jessop, Head of Sales and Marketing at Sunkin Property Group, to discuss the project in more detail.

Highett Common: Shaping the Future of Bayside Melbourne

&lt;iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/svkvrP6IGyA?si=Hnll05VBnPeBLC9q" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=108019]

Highett: The Oasis of Bayside Melbourne

Highett boasts beautiful beaches, top-notch schools, golf clubs, and a thriving community. With a mere half-hour train ride to the city, Highett offers the perfect blend of tranquility and urban convenience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=212656]

A Pledge to Environmental Sustainability

What sets Highett Common apart is not just its luxury but also its unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability. It's slated to be one of Victoria's rare medium-density Net Zero projects. This goes beyond cost savings; it's about caring for our planet.

The development features solar panels that generate electricity, reducing owners' corporation fees while promoting clean and sustainable energy.

Embracing Electric and Eco-Friendly Living

This project is fully electric, bidding farewell to gas. While some may still appreciate a gas cooktop, the advantages of electric induction are undeniable. It's all part of the effort to create a more sustainable and eco-friendly living environment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=212653]

Cultivating a Thriving Community

Highett Common is more than just apartments and amenities; it's about fostering a sense of belonging and community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=212658]

Residents will have access to an app that connects them to community programs, events, and services. The goal is to create a vibrant and interconnected community within the development.

A Grand-Scale Endeavor

With an expansive 10-hectare site, the development is thoughtfully divided into smaller stages to ensure a harmonious balance. The first stage comprises 165 apartments spread across two six-story buildings, offering a spacious and open layout that's a far cry from the high-density developments commonly seen today.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=212514]

An Abundance of Amenities and Greenery

Apart from the spacious apartments, Highett Common offers a wealth of amenities, including a Wellness Centre, an outdoor swimming pool, gyms, dining rooms, and indoor swimming pools.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=213936]

This scale of amenities is a rarity in Bayside, making Highett Common an exceptional choice for those seeking a high-quality lifestyle.

A Promising Journey Ahead

With construction already underway across the precinct, Highett Common is poised to make a transformative impact on Highett. The development has the potential to drive capital growth in the area, elevating the suburb's status even further.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=212658]

Experience the Future at Highett Common

The Highett Common display suite offers an immersive experience of what this development has in store.

Highett Common isn't just another development, it's a forward-looking project that values both luxury living and environmental sustainability. It's a testament to the fact that developers today must meet the needs of consumers by creating communities that also care for our planet.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=108019]

Scott Jessop, Head of Sales and Marketing at Sunkin Property Group, unveils the remarkable "Highett Common" project. Nestled in the heart of Highett, Bayside Melbourne, this development promises to redefine luxury living while prioritising environmental sustainability and community building.

Everything a buyer needs to know about the sustainable Highett Common development by Sunkin Property

Sydney house prices continued their surge over&nbsp;January, with&nbsp;affordability issues continuing to plague prospective buyers in the city&rsquo;s inner suburbs. &nbsp;

Growing house prices are pushing more and more home buyers in to the apartment sector, with many looking at the value in off the plan apartments, with small deposits before completion, and room for value growth while the apartments are being developed.

Urban has had&nbsp;a look at the best off-the-plan apartments for sale in Sydney&rsquo;s inner-city suburbs.

<h2>1. Waterfall by Crown 
Developer: Crown Group</h2>

Positioned four kilometres east of the Sydney CBD, Waterfall by Crown Group is a collection of four towers inspired by the tropical landscapes of Indonesia.

The luxuriously appointed apartments include 331 residences in one, two and three-bedroom configurations.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5763 project_image_fid=182359]

The ground-breaking new development delivers a sophisticated, resort-style residence to Waterloo, offering a balance of luxury, nature and beauty.

Designed by SJB Architects, the development features an internal lagoon, lush rooftop escape, tropical bamboo walk, and a 22-metre waterfall.

<h2>2. Alex Collective 
Developer: Ceerose</h2>

In the neighbouring suburb of Alexandria, Ceerose is delivering a collection of 163 one, two and three-bedroom apartments at Alex Collective.

&quot;Alexandria has always been a highly sought-after location with its unique terraces, warehouse-style apartments and heritage homes in a historic industrial-aged setting&rdquo;, said director of residential at Colliers, David McMahon.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29785 project_image_fid=91570]

Designed by Andrew Burns Architecture, each apartment boasts floor-to-ceiling storage, bay windows and a balcony fringed by greenery.

The homes also feature concrete-inspired stone benchtops, sandstone-coloured joinery and integrated appliances.

<h2>3. Mastery by Crown 
Developer: Crown Group</h2>

Not far from Crown&rsquo;s other development, Mastery by Crown Group delivers a new cluster of five newly completed buildings in Green Square.

Set to become Australia&rsquo;s first Japanese-themed residential community, the development will feature 368 luxury apartments and a 2,175sqm retail precinct, which will home 27 stores and a new Japanese eat street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7020 project_image_fid=25155]

Mastery is the last council-permitted tower for the area, meaning that this is an exclusive opportunity to secure views that will be impossible to replicate in Waterloo with existing zoning rules.

Inspired by the interplay of light, hikari, and shadow, kage, each interior features modern and sophisticated fittings and furnishings designed to enrich residents&rsquo; health and happiness in a Zen manner.

<h2>4. Surry Hills Village 
Developer: TOGA</h2>

Aligning with the City of Sydney&rsquo;s strategy of transforming inner-city urban precincts, Surry Hills Village will deliver the regeneration of a 1.2-hectare site to meet the needs of locals and visitors.

Designed by Iain Halliday and BKH, the masterplanned community will feature 122 apartments and a 102-room hotel, as well as 12,000sqm of commercial and retail spaces, featuring a Coles supermarket, specialty retail and parking for retail customers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9302 project_image_fid=188219]

Surry Hills Village was designed by SJB Architects, built to incorporate outdoor spaces, balconies and landscaped gardens.

Complementing the quality private open space, residential communal spaces will include walled gardens, barbecue courtyards and rooftop gardens.

<h2>5. The Frederick 
Developer: Mirvac</h2>

Rising 23 storeys at Green Square, The Frederick is Mirvac&rsquo;s latest stage at its Green Square development.

Offering a range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, the development features family-sized residences, hotel-like amenities and views across the Sydney city skyline.

A single street in Wolli Creek is earmarked for more than $80 million in development providing 254 apartments in three separate applications lodged with Bayside Council.&nbsp;

The applications&nbsp;will change the face of Innesdale Road, near Cahill Park.

Two applications came from the same unknown developer, with&nbsp;Marchese Partners has designing the&nbsp;four&nbsp;residential buildings proposed.

In their design statement submitted to the local council, Marchese Partners said the buildings have&nbsp;been designed to contribute to the revitalisation of the precinct and will provide visual amenity to the area.

The $22.3 million application for 15-23 Innesdale&nbsp;is for two nine-storey towers which have been designed by Marchese Partners.

There will be 76 apartments, 15 reserved for affordable housing, across the two buildings.

The submission for 25-37 Innesdale Road is the biggest, at $29.65 million. That will see&nbsp;seven existing single and double storey houses&nbsp;demolished to make&nbsp;way for two more nine-level buildings, with 104 apartments.

The proposed development consists of two, eight-storey residential flat buildings that will include 104 apartments, with a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom offerings.

It will be made up of 37 one-bedroom apartments,&nbsp;56 two-bedders and 11 three-bedroom apartments. 42 of the units will be dedicated affordable housing apartments.

Another development application, unrelated to the two above, was also submitted in January.

The developments are currently being considered by the Bayside Local Planning Panel.

Growing coastal suburb, Birtinya, is set to see a new residential project by Cube Developments that is certain to attract young property buyers.

Situated at 1 Prosperity Drive, Seasons is a trendy $102 million apartment development with almost 150 units in two, three and four-bedroom configurations.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106957 project_image_fid=184866]

Rising seven levels across three buildings, the Sunshine Coast apartments will boast an array of amenities that forms one central precinct where residents can work, rest and play.

&ldquo;Cube and award-winning firm Cottee Parker architects have teamed up to offer the owner-occupier market an unseen revolution in everyday living&rdquo;, the project marketing reads.

Among these amenities include a business centre and coworking space, sauna, steam room and spa, lagoon and 25m lap pool, yoga studio, gym facilities and private dining.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106957 project_image_fid=184875]

Lead architect Sandra Browne said Cottee Parker aimed to invite both the residents and the community to integrate and connect with an interactive ground plane. &nbsp;

&ldquo;The brief from Cube was to differentiate its design from its neighbours and focus heavily on the aesthetic. The intention was to create less of a footprint than Council allows, but open it up creating more transparency through the site&rdquo;, Browne said.

Inspired by the natural surrounds and cloaked in greenery, Seasons delivers a palette that is both timeless and honest.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106957 project_image_fid=184864]

The project has also been designed with a broad range of considered materials, including large format floor tiles, European appliances and manufactured benchtops.

Developers Cube commissioned Timothy Birch Studio to create a unique public art project, expected to inject a youthfulness into the project.

Adorning the vertical buildings of tower one and two and spanning all seven stories, the installation will be a new icon for Birtinya.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106957 project_image_fid=184863]

The Sunshine Coast suburb is developing into a new hub for the region due to its youthful nature, walking paths, and access to an array of beaches and parks.

Birtinya features a range of convenient offerings within close proximity to Seasons, such as the Stockland Shopping Centre development and the University Hospital and the long Bokarina and Wurtulla beaches.

The project is expected to be reach completion in 2023.

The 2032 Brisbane Olympics will not only deliver an economic boost to trade and tourism but is set to have a big impact on the local property market, according to one economist.

PRD Research chief economist, Dr Diaswati Mardiasmo, has predicted that Brisbane&rsquo;s median house price could increase to $1.7 million by 2023, 2.5 times its current median of $674,738.

The forecast by PRD Research was reached using historical data of house prices following two global events hosted in Brisbane, the World Expo in 1988 and the G20 Summit in 2014.

<img alt="" height="628" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/bide-21-longland-street-newstead-f94e8b1acc183d4e31ebc002ecefc8ef.png" width="1200" />

In the 11 years prior to Expo 88, the Brisbane LGA median house price grew by 278.8 per cent and prices in South Bank and its surrounding suburbs grew by an average 335.3 per cent.

In the year following, house prices grew by a further 29.7 per cent in Brisbane and 19.1 per cent in South Bank and nearby suburbs.

A similar trend unfolded when the city hosted the 2014 G20 Brisbane Summit with property prices surging 112 per cent in Brisbane and 116 per cent in South Bank in the decade before the event.

&ldquo;[H]osting both Expo 1988 and G20 Summit has served the Brisbane property market well,&rdquo; Dr Mardiasmo said.

Applying the same level of growth seen in these events, PRD Research predicts Brisbane&#39;s median house price to rise to $1.7 million by 2033, a year after the Olympics.

Dr Mardiasmo noted there were differences in the pace of property growth in past events, but even going at &ldquo;half-strength&rdquo;, the median house price would reach $1.2 million by 2033.

&quot;The prospect of a $1 million median house price for Brisbane is a real possibility.&quot;

Research by KPMG predicts that hosting the 2032 Games will deliver $8.1 billion in benefits to Queensland including a $4.6 billion economic boost to tourism and trade and $3.5 billion in social improvements such as health, volunteering and community benefits.

Urban takes a look at three residences you could secure in Brisbane to get ahead of the trends.
