Perth’s new apartment market recorded its strongest quarter of sales since Q4 2021, with 412 apartments sold in Q1 2026 and a record quarterly sold value of $537 million, according to Urbis’ latest Apartment Essentials results.

Urbis said the March quarter result reflects strong, highly product‑specific demand across both ends of the market, from more attainable projects delivering at scale, through to premium stock being absorbed by equity‑rich downsizers.&nbsp;

David Cresp, Partner at Urbis, said the key story in Perth is not demand, it is the market’s ability to convert demand into delivered housing.&nbsp;

“This is the strongest sales quarter since Q4 2021, and it reinforces that demand in Perth is real and it’s local,” David Cresp said. “But the task now is delivery, turning that demand into projects that can actually be built and completed.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=302785]

<h2>Affordable product leads, premium demand remains resilient</h2>

Sales in Q1 were led by more affordable projects, with The Boulevard (SKS Group) recording 115 sales in the quarter, the presentation noting this is only the second time a single project has surpassed 100 quarterly sales. The project was able to offer more affordable housing product right next to a train station.&nbsp;

Palmyra West (Finbar) also delivered strong results with 28 sales in Q1, following 84 sales in Q4, with an average price of under $800,000, underscoring depth of demand for well‑located, attainable new stock.&nbsp;

At the premium end, Urbis said downsizer demand is continuing, with the results highlighting Romeo (Applecross, Finbar) recording 75 sales and reaching almost 50% sold in one quarter.

Jual (Shenton Park, Celsius Property) also posted a strong quarter with 28 sales, reaching 39% sold in one quarter.

Urbis noted that Perth apartment demand is not speculative, not investor‑led, and not uniform, describing it as localised, often equity‑driven and highly product‑specific, a pattern reflected in the polarisation between strong “attainable” performers and premium downsizer product.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148957 project_image_fid=364102]

<h2>Prices underpinned by costs, and the delivery risk is growing</h2>

Urbis said pricing pressure is cost not demand‑driven: construction costs and delivery risk are now a central constraint, with the results noting build costs remain elevated and volatile, and that energy, fuel and labour uncertainty weigh on feasibility.

David Cresp said a growing challenge for private Build‑to‑Sell developers is simply securing a builder in the current environment.

“Developers are really feeling the pressure from a building market that was operating at capacity and securing a builder is challenging,” David Cresp said, adding that even where a builder can be secured, “trying to get to the price that makes the development financially viable is incredibly challenging in the current market.”&nbsp;

Urbis’ broader WA commentary also notes that industry remains at or above capacity with lot and housing creation, and that many builders are limiting new sales to manage stretched workforces and fixed‑price contract pressures, conditions that flow directly into apartment feasibility and delivery timing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108869 project_image_fid=317905]

<h2>Supply: improving later, but still constrained, and Perth lags eastern benchmarks</h2>

While near‑term supply remains constrained, Urbis’ forecast shows completions lifting “Supply is forecast to be back above 1,500 apartments per annum for the first time since 2019”, with 1,775 completions forecast for 2026, and volumes remaining above that level over the following years.&nbsp;

Looking further ahead, completions are forecast to reach 2,500 in 2028, with the report noting 32% of that total is social/affordable, reflecting the role of government‑supported delivery in rebuilding the pipeline.&nbsp;

However, Urbis said Perth remains behind comparable markets on pipeline scale. In a national comparison of projects under construction, the report shows under construction Perth Build‑to‑Sell (BTS) at 3,446 apartments versus the Gold Coast at 7,922. Mr Cresp said “The challenge for Perth is how to we grow the delivery pipeline”.

Urbis’ conclusion is that Perth’s market is increasingly defined by product discipline and delivery certainty, with the research identifying “delivery certainty is key” and calling out builder risk and procurement models as core success factors, alongside “timing and staging”.&nbsp;

Perth apartment sales hit strongest pace since late 2021 as builder capacity tightens

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sammut-developments">Sammut Group</a> has secured development approval for its latest Brisbane apartment project, marking the Sydney developer’s next step in expanding its Queensland pipeline following the success of its debut Gold Coast development, Coast.

The approved project at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/44-glen-road-toowong-qld-4066">44 Glen Road, </a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a> will deliver a 15-storey riverfront apartment building with 42 residences, significantly increasing the scale of the site’s previous approval for a smaller luxury scheme. Designed by Bureau^proberts, the development will comprise a mix of predominantly four-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments positioned to maximise Brisbane River and city views.

Sammut Director Julian Sammut said the group had been actively searching Brisbane for several years before identifying Toowong as the right fit.

“Brisbane was the right step for Sammut,” Sammut said.

“With the success of Coast we thought we should definitely look to do more in Queensland alone. We then pushed up to look at Brisbane. We've been looking for I'd say two to three years actually and it was hard to find the right location.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.14%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dYAVIL7qdcGA8ojvkslSrLjczXFejSSx" />

Sammut said suburbs including New Farm and Teneriffe were considered before the group ultimately focused on Toowong due to its strong downsizer demographic and limited supply of developable riverfront land.

The site was acquired off-market after what Sammut described as a lengthy negotiation and planning process, with the developer pursuing an uplift to the original approval.

“We are DA approved now which is very exciting,” Sammut said.

“We've had our change approval come through and we've obviously doubled the height, 15 storeys plus rooftop. We've got 42 amazing apartments that are going to be coming to market soon.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ohkRkY0dIZlqdfME2EZePsCQavRiBadE" />

Bureau^proberts said the design responds to Toowong’s evolving urban character, balancing contemporary apartment living with the area’s established residential identity.

“A place where traditional Queensland living has taken place for centuries; Toowong is seeing a shift of contemporary influence, commercial and retail hubs mixed with well-considered residential offerings – all the while maintaining its character and charm,” the architect noted in planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council.

The architecture practice said the project’s form was shaped by its riverfront setting, flood considerations, neighbouring building scales, and view corridors.

“They said the mix of four and two-bedroom apartments capture the ‘fundamental qualities of Queenslander living,’ translated into the context of a contemporary subtropical building.”

The development sits just off Coronation Drive within walking distance of Toowong’s retail precinct and the upgraded Regatta ferry terminal, while also benefiting from proximity to the incoming green bridge connection to West End. Sammut said the accessibility and amenity offering were central to the site’s appeal.

The approval adds to growing residential activity along the Toowong riverfront, joining nearby projects including Consolidated Properties’ Monarch Residences and Spyre Group’s ARC Residences.

Sammut secures approval for debut Brisbane apartment development in Toowong

Developer Lanevick is heading back into Sydney’s apartment market after focusing more heavily on the luxury townhouse and terrace sector in recent years.

Lanevick, founded and directed by Steve Maroun, is expecting to receive approval in the coming months for a new apartment development in Gladesville, with the aim to launch it to the market later this year.

The 51-apartment project, designed by Studio Johnston, will comprise a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments positioned toward the Hunters Hill downsizer market.

“Traditionally it’s been difficult for people in that market to downsize because there just hasn’t been the right product available,” Maroun said.

“We’re targeting buyers who might have 30 to 40 per cent of their house value sitting in the bank after downsizing.

“They still want good spacious entertaining areas, they still want quality design, but they also want flexibility and the ability to enjoy life a bit more after working hard for a long time.”

The project sits near Boronia Park and within close proximity to the Parramatta River foreshore, an area Maroun says offers more of a Hunters Hill lifestyle than a traditional apartment precinct.

“From a lifestyle perspective, it’s really more Hunters Hill than Gladesville,” Maroun said. “You’re close to the foreshore, close to parklands, and still connected back into the village precinct.”

From level four and above, apartments will capture water views&nbsp;toward Sydney Harbour. Communal amenity will include rooftop entertaining areas, wellness spaces, and a gym tailored toward owner-occupier buyers.

“We’ve really designed these apartments around that buyer coming from the Hunters Hill LGA and what they’re actually looking for in their next chapter.”

The proposed development has also been designed to respond to the changing character of the broader Gladesville town centre, where a growing number of mixed-use and residential proposals are expected to emerge over the coming years.

“Gladesville presented a rare opportunity to deliver a genuinely design-led residential project within an evolving lifestyle precinct, just moments from the growing Gladesville town centre, and we’ve approached the project with a strong focus on architecture, liveability and long-term community value,” Maroun said.

Maroun said Lanevick saw a first-mover advantage within the precinct as planning controls continue to evolve to accommodate greater housing density.

“We think there’s a real opportunity there that hasn’t really been serviced properly yet,” he said.

“There’s going to be a broader evolution of the whole Gladesville village precinct over time, particularly with more activation and mixed-use outcomes.”

The Venus Street proposal will include a commercial and retail component at ground level designed to contribute to that evolving streetscape activation.

“A big part of the thinking was how do you activate that area properly and create more vibrancy and amenity, which is what Hunters Hill has been looking for,” Maroun said.

Lanevick’s focus since 2020 has largely been on smaller-scale luxury townhouse and terrace developments. The developer recently completed Royale Randwick, also designed by Studio Johnston, where prices reached $3.65 million. The project was featured in the UDIA NSW 2026 Professional Development Prospectus and was also named a finalist for Development of the Year.

Lanevick to cater for Hunters Hill downsizers with new Gladesville apartment development

Property developer One Living, backed by former Macquarie banker turned investment manager Chris Green’s investment firm, has unveiled plans to bring more institutional capital into housing to help address the national supply crisis.

The New York-based investor has focused his firm, GreenPoint Partners, on addressing the supply shortage hitting middle market housing in Australia.

It is backing the new One Living business to develop more than 1000 units along the eastern seaboard. The new firm is starting with a development on Mona Vale Road, on the border of Mona Vale and Pymble, in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, with around 140 apartments planned. They are eyeing off more sites across the city.

With cost pressures rising in the industry, One Living’s model is to be a vertically integrated developer-builder, so it can respond directly to the housing gap by removing the cost inefficiencies embedded in traditional residential delivery.

“We are building a platform designed to operate at scale and starting in a market where there’s a clear need for quality, attainable housing,” One Living joint managing director Joseph Scuderi said.

“It’s that missing middle – it’s that attainable end of housing… that’s what most Australians invest into and what Australians can actually afford.”

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="798dfa93-4941-4db6-a696-31e9dc18e81c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.31.50%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=mKBqi5C_DmeiXS.AtJkcR8LQIxqCqmFi" />

GreenPoint Partners brings years of experience assembling and scaling real estate operating businesses across major markets. And Green sees a big opportunity in Australia.

“For its size, sophistication and importance to the community, Australia’s living sector has remained largely under-institutionalised, which represents significant opportunity,” Green said. “GreenPoint identified that gap, assembled the right team, and is backing One Living to build a platform that is aligned to market needs.”

Green said being a builder-developer would give the company the capacity and flexibility it required to deliver reasonably-priced homes.

“We want it to be at that attainable level; not super high end luxury but at that attainable level,” he said.

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="74a5344a-4b26-4d4a-ada3-056b1220be77" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.32.15%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=vY8hXHO4reBMdO8ZXMWCNtGZJofUPQ3j" />

&nbsp;

One Living will undertake a component of affordable housing in its schemes, which it will own and operate, and it could also run build-to-rent on some sites.

Green praised local policy settings.

“The NSW government is being very supportive, strategic and pragmatic in terms of how do we generate more supply of housing,” he said. “We think it’s actually positive for development and the bit that’s been lacking at that attainable level is that it’s lots of relatively small private developers, whereas we want to create an institutional platform.”

One Living is also&nbsp;looking at high-density projects and could take on more institutional funding in the future.

“The way we will be able to achieve economies of scale is through size,” Green added.

One Living enters Sydney's new apartment market with Northern Beaches site acquisition

It's been several years since there's been an opportunity to buy a brand new townhome in Melbourne's coastal suburb of Mordialloc. Even apartment developments in recent times have been few and far between in the area.

Local developer LDS Property identified the gap in new housing, securing a site on White Street, directly opposite&nbsp;Woodlands Golf Club Mordialloc. They've recently launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/wm-residences-mordialloc-102-white-street-mordialloc-vic-3195">WM Residences</a>, just 13 townhouses which they have already started building.

Projects by Buxton Director Heath Thompson, who is selling WM Residences, says the townhouses x that perfect middle ground be

"Mordialloc residents have had limited options to downsize within the suburb, often forcing them to look elsewhere despite long-standing ties to the area," Thompson says.

"With very little comparable new supply coming to market, projects like WM Residences are well placed, particularly as buyers look to capitalise on current conditions amid constrained supply."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6109]

The development, designed by regarded architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ewert-leaf">Ewert Leaf</a>,&nbsp;adopts a deliberately restrained architectural approach, focusing on simplicity, durability and liveability rather than overt design gestures.

The boutique scale is central to the offering. With only 13 three-bedroom residences, each home is configured to prioritise functional layouts and everyday use, supported by private terraces and secure two-car garages.

Ewert Leaf’s design response leans into a calm, neutral material palette. Interiors are defined by oak flooring, white walls and soft finishes, creating a consistent and understated backdrop. The approach avoids trend-driven detailing in favour of longevity, with an emphasis on natural light and spatial clarity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6110]

Beyond aesthetics, the homes are designed to meet contemporary performance expectations. Each residence targets a minimum 6-star energy rating, incorporating double glazing, comprehensive insulation and all-electric Bosch appliances.

The project’s location supports a walkable coastal lifestyle, sitting within close proximity to Mordialloc’s foreshore, Main Street retail strip and the train station. Local cafés and dining venues, including Suburbia Deli and Hendriks Café, are within a short walk, reinforcing the area’s established neighbourhood character.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6116]

While <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/mordialloc-vic-3195">Mordialloc</a> is often defined by its beach and pier, the project taps into other areas of day to day living, offering easy access to local food, casual dining and transport, rather than positioning itself purely as a lifestyle retreat.

WM Residences reflects a continued trend across Melbourne’s coastal suburbs towards smaller-scale, design-led townhouse developments, particularly on infill sites where proximity to amenity is already established.

With construction commenced prior to its market entry, the project aligns with a growing preference among buyers for developments with visible progress and defined delivery timeframes.

Aria Property Group

Aria Property has launched Casamia by Aria, their latest park-front West End apartment development.

The 14-level tower of just 44 apartments at 105-107 Jane Street sits adjacent to their previous project TreeHouse, which won the Best High Density Development in Australia at the 2023 UDIA Awards.

Designed by Rothelowman, who were inspired by the&nbsp;visionary Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi, <a href="/new-apartments/casamia-west-end-105-107-jane-street-west-end">Casamia</a> introduces a revolutionary tower concept characterised by a curvaceous design, intricate screening details, wrap-around balconies, and a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces.

Aria Property Development Director Brent Liddell said&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/casamia-west-end-105-107-jane-street-west-end">Casamia</a> is a testament to their commitment to creating remarkable living spaces that pay homage to the unique character of West End.

"Building on the success of our TreeHouse development, we've strived to craft homes that encapsulate craftsmanship, detail, and a natural material palette," Liddell said.

"Despite the challenges facing the construction industry, Aria Property remains steadfast in its mission to provide iconic homes to the residents of Brisbane, contributing to the housing supply in any way we can."

Casmia continues the Aria's tradition of producing extensive rooftop amenity. The rooftop at <a href="/new-apartments/casamia-west-end-105-107-jane-street-west-end">Casamia</a> will home an infinity pool,&nbsp;wellness features such as hot and cold magnesium baths and a sauna, and an exclusive residents' lounge and private dining room.

An onsite concierge will cater to residents' day-to-day needs.

As part of the 2023 UDIA National award winning developers commitment to sustainable living, Casamia introduces an electric vehicle (EV) focus.

The development offers an electric Mercedes EQC as part of its building-only car-sharing program, while also being EV-ready, providing infrastructure for residents to install EV chargers within their units.

Over 80 per cent of the project has been sold to Aria’s past customers and networks.

Casamia is projected to reach completion in 2026.

Aria launch Casamia, West End apartment development

Aria Property Group is set to continue its development in South Brisbane, lodging plans for a glass-swathed apartment tower.

Aria, who completed the&nbsp;award winning project The Standard and the Fish Lane Precinct down the road on Cordelia Street, have had world renowned architect Woods Bagot put together the plans for the 30-level tower.

There will be 256 apartments on offer, a mix of one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, including a handful of penthouses.

True to Aria's focus on extensive rooftop amenity, the new tower will also feature a&nbsp;rooftop pool and&nbsp;sky terrace, various amenity rooms, and dining and lounging areas.

The 2023 UDIA National award-winning developer drew inspiration from the circular motif of its sister tower, The Standard, creating a proportioned form with a three storey crown rising above.

<img alt="Aria South Brisbane" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="878e5ef0-d7d2-434d-a7e0-f44c0667976f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-04-21%20at%2011.38.39%20am.png?VersionId=_6eyrMGgPf.r6.7kgvCkFhdcTs7y0cMz" />

In the Architectural Report submitted to the Brisbane City Council, Woods Bagot highlighted three key ideas upon which the designs for the Cordelia Street tower was based on:

1. The tower, podium and ground level are clearly expressed, with considerations of proportion to its scale and context. The height of the podium is complementary to the neighbouring developments. 

2. The tower volume is articulated as a series of cylindrical forms, to create an expression of verticality and slenderness in the tower The circular motif presents a striking counterpoint to the immediate urban context. 

3. The verticality of the tower is further enhanced by extending the tower volumes to different heights, creating a feature 'crown': a recognisable feature on the South Brisbane skyline.

The new project will continue Aria Property’s streak of green walls, sleeving the building’s podium façade, with brick finishes throughout the ground plane referencing South Brisbane’s rich character and heritage.

Throughout the lobby, an array of work-from-home spaces and private offices will be available for residents, along with lush landscaping and outdoor seating and lounging areas.

Aria Property Development Manager Michael Hurley said the project has been designed to fit in with the existing style and feel of the surrounding streetscapes, including Fish Lane which Aria Property has helped revitalise and re-develop along with Brisbane City Council since 2014.

"Our vision was to continue to support and invest in the area, building on our long-term relationships and establishing new connections within the community. We're excited to contribute to its future growth and opportunities,” Hurley said.

Aria have had world renowned architect Woods Bagot put together the plans for the 30-level tower.



First look exclusive: Aria lodge plans for curved South Brisbane tower

The sustainably conscious apartment developer, ARIA Property Group, is set for further development in the exclusive South Brisbane pocket they&#39;ve been developing in over recent years.

They&#39;ve lodged plans on a triple block at 164-190 Melbourne Street, on the corner of Manning and Melbourne Street. The Melbourne Street sites are currently home to&nbsp;the former Malouf&#39;s Fruit Shop and the former Bond&#39;s Sweet Factory.

ARIA, led by Tim Forrester, has had Bates Smart team up with Richards &amp; Spence in what is expected to be the first of three towers across the amalgamated site.

The first tower will have 84 apartments across 14 levels, and extensive rooftop amenity, which, alongside their sustainability efforts, is fast becoming ARIA&#39;s signature.

<a href="/new-apartments/164-190-melbourne-street-south-brisbane"><img alt="" height="432" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-25_at_1.31.08_pm.png" width="679" /></a>

&quot;33 Manning Street offers a variety of spacious dwellings in the central urban location of South Brisbane providing opportunity for a diverse population including families and students,&quot; the design statement submitted to the Brisbane City Council noted.

&quot;33 Manning Street is a simple and elegant tower which takes best advantage of the opportunities afforded by its location, climate and scale to provide a distinctive lifestyle opportunity for Brisbane.&quot;

<a href="/new-apartments/164-190-melbourne-street-south-brisbane"><img alt="" height="425" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-25_at_1.31.39_pm.png" width="676" /></a>

&quot;Each apartment has been designed to maximise natural light and cross ventilation, taking advantage of the local climate,&quot; the design statement noted.

&quot;All practical considerations of living are considered including private bedrooms, generous kitchens and flexible living spaces.&quot;

The design statement also suggested that residential wellness is a key design consideration.

There will be a commercial gym tenancy located on the first level. At the heart of the rooftop amenity is the 20 metre pool. On the north-east edge of the roof is a plunge pool, positioned to take in the city views.

<a href="/new-apartments/164-190-melbourne-street-south-brisbane"><img alt="" height="477" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-25_at_1.32.53_pm.png" width="762" /></a>

There&#39;s an amphitheater which offers seating and lounging for an evening cinema, as well as a residents dining room.

The new tower, next to South Brisbane&#39;s famous Skyneedle, is around the corner from&nbsp;Trellis, one of ARIA&#39;s most sustainable projects to date. Some 60 per cent of the tower is covered in greenery. There&#39;s Tesla charging, solar technology, and extensive rainwater tanks.

It&#39;s also up the road from The Standard, ARIA&#39;s flagship development in the heart of the popular Fish Lane precinct.

ARIA lodge plans for South Brisbane apartment tower

Some of South East Queensland&#39;s best developers scooped a number of prizes at the annual UDIA QLD awards last weekend.

The national ASX-listed developer Mirvac took out the best development in Queensland, with their Gainsborough Greens project winning the Project of the Year Award.

Gainsborough Greens, which also&nbsp;took home the Environmental Excellence award, is a masterplanned community&nbsp;in the Gold Coast&#39;s Pimpama area.

&quot;The project is a benchmark example of environmental rehabilitation, creating an outstanding backdrop for a master planned community,&quot; the judges noted.

Gainsborough Greens has created a new habitat for koalas and an array of native fauna and birdlife species within 170 hectares of conservation area.

Aria Property Group, whose focus is sustainable developments in Brisbane, won five awards on the night, spread across their residential and commercial efforts in the Fish Lane Town Square precinct.

The Standard by Aria, their flagship development with 260 apartments, Tesla vehicles for residents, and 2,000 sqm of resident amenity, won the awards for Construction Excellence, Design Excellence, and the best High Density Development.

The Fish Lane Town Square took out the awards for Urban Renewal and Retail and Commercial Excellence.

Aria recently launched their latest sustainable project, Trellis, in South Bris​bane, which will no doubt more than hold its own at the awards following its completion in mid-2023.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108278 project_image_fid=173599]

Mosaic Property Group, the&nbsp;popular Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast developer, won two awards for two of its Sunshine Coast developments.

Aria has had further success with one of their recently completed apartment projects.

The popular South Brisbane tower, The Standard, located in the heart of the Fish Lane arts precinct, has seen off the plan investors sell their apartments, secured before construction was complete, for between 10 per cent and 38 per cent higher than what they paid, with owner-occupiers showing the greatest keenness.

Apartment developer Aria Property Group has added another major project to its catalogue of Brisbane developments.

On this occasion Rothelowman has been utilised in the design of West End's 107-117 Jane Street. Reaching planning only last week, Jane Street looks to build upon Aria's self described vision of "create iconic residential and retail projects that we will be proud to walk our families past in 20 years' time."

To that end Rothelowman have conceived two distinct buildings above a common podium, with the intent of adding 145 apartments to the West End market. The apartment mix consists of 23 single, 91 double and 28 triple bedroom apartments.

An onsite warehouse and office will make way for the development, which is expected to be delivered over separate stages.

Image: Rothelowman"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="335" src="/sites/urban.melbourne/files//styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/image78_5.jpg?itok=fhAdmlVj" title="Design Perspective. Image: Rothelowman" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Design Perspective. Image: Rothelowman</figcaption></figure>Rothelowman's design narrative for the project surrounds the ideas of architecture as a backdrop to nature and life in a treehouse.

Consequently 107-117 Jane Street's facade employs the notion of a vertical park, and is heavy with greenery planters plus mature trees which run its full height. Rothelowman have also sought to introduce a layered canopy above street level, with its form and materiality said to reference the fig tree form.

Reflective of all Aria projects, the Jane Street application is heavy with communal facilities. An outdoor gym, playground, dining pavilion, sun deck and lounge, infinity pool and barbecue area constitute the more typical amenities, although more natural features also play their part in the design.

Not so regular features such as a 'tree house canopy boardwalk', stream and waterfall are also present and look to extend upon the project's location opposite Davies Park and adjacent to the Brisbane River.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public//pictures/article-images/image80_7.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Design Perspective.

<figcaption>Design Perspective. Image: Rothelowman</figcaption></figure>107-117 Jane Street joins a handful of additional <a href="/developments?developer=ARIA%20Property%20Group">Aria projects within the Urban.com.au Project Database</a>.

South Brisbane's <a href="/new-apartments/waterfall-77-hope-street-south-brisbane">77 Hope Street</a> is perhaps the most recognised of Aria's pending projects, after approval was granted for the 33 storey apartment tower mid year. A 120-metre waterfall originating from the tower's rooftop terrace and running down the flank of the building is the design highlight, although a 750 square metre public park, community garden and cinema will also be included.

With <a href="/buildings/valencia-232-wellington-road-kangaroo-point">Valencia</a> and <a href="/buildings/the-drapery-64-logan-road-woolloongabba">The Drapery</a> approaching completion, Aria Property Group have moved to initiate construction on another residential tower. Hutchinson Builders have picked up <a href="/buildings/the-standard-13-17-manning-street-south-brisbane">The Standard</a>; the curvaceous tower which is due for completion during 2020.
