First look: Marquee plots latest Palm Beach apartment development

Veteran Gold Coast developer Raptis is fast approaching completion of The Sterling, its new Broadbeach apartment tower a stone's throw from the beach.

Ahead of its mid-2026 completion, Raptis has fast-tracked the completion of three fully-furnished apartments, a mix of two and three-bedroom plus study layouts on the 3rd&nbsp; level of the 24-storey building, the only new development on George Avenue.

Each of the open residences, one from the Seascape, Panorama and Cityscape collections, offers a distinct approach to scale and spatial flow.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101620 project_image_fid=357478]

The Seascape apartment spans 190 sqm and sits within the sub-penthouse range, offering three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and sweeping 280-degree views across the coastline and hinterland.&nbsp;

The living and dining area is framed by full-height glazing and opens onto a large balcony, while a generous butler’s pantry and dedicated laundry space speak to the layout’s functionality.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101620 project_image_fid=357480]

The two-bedroom Cityscape option focuses on a functional layout with views over the Gold Coast skyline. The collection comes with a separate multi-purpose room, designed to cater for a home office, media room, or guest room.&nbsp;Its open kitchen includes a walk-in butlers pantry and premium integrated European appliances.

The Panorama Collection spans 158 sqm and is designed for owners seeking defined private spaces alongside expansive living. Bedrooms are separated from the main entertaining zones, and the apartment is oriented to capture sunset views south toward Coolangatta and the hinterland.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101620 project_image_fid=357481]

The residents of the 90 apartments will have private access to Club Sterling, located on level two offering amenities that includes a lap pool, gym, wellness studio, business suite with bookable dining and lounge spaces, plus sauna/seam/Pilates room.

Raptis tracks towards completion of The Sterling Broadbeach, unveils three fully-furnished display apartments

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

LAS Group is looking to launch its new Southbank projects in 2026, following their recent approvals.

The two independent towers, designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fk-australia" target="">Fender Katsalidis</a>, will introduce around 700 new apartments across sites on Clarke Street and Clarendon Street.

The larger of the two towers,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/101-clarendon-street-southbank-vic-3006">101 Clarendon Street</a>, will have 509 apartments across a 52-level building that will also include a residents' lounge, private dining room, podcast room, golf simulator, co-working spaces, pet care facilities, and an outdoor terrace.

The sixth stage will incorporate five more buildings in what is being called the Cox Plate Precinct, with around 1,100 new residences. There will be two build-to-sell apartment buildings, two build-to-rent buildings, and a hotel.

<img alt="Hamton" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6c9327d8-533b-4982-bb1d-48f5389d68a3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-15%20at%201.05.29%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=I0hjB0T1W5134HPMx6iJEasDkuWXBnD_" />

The buildings will range in height from 10 to 25 storeys, and 10 per cent of the dwellings will be allocated to affordable housing.

The 12-storey, mixed-use building will bring another 125 apartments and townhouses to an area where new housing has been few and far between in recent years.

Cera Stribley is behind the designs for the building that will also incorporate retail and commercial spaces on its lower levels.<img alt="goldfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1f31642f-38c2-416f-ae56-fa9726514e9c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-15%20at%201.09.46%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ktESZLAkpvzmEIDsCferE8FLsErnRU0l" />

"St Kilda has a colourful history, character and charm and a unique position within Melbourne, immediate proximity to the CBD, parks and unrivalled amenity, yet distinctly coastal featuring one of Australia’s most well-known beaches," Mellick said.

"Fitzroy Street is one of Melbourne’s most historic grand boulevards which has admittedly seen better days, but here lies the challenge and opportunity to breathe new life into the precinct."

"The Pavilion is renowned for its minimalist aesthetic, use of luxurious materials, and harmonious spatial flow," Sora said. "The concept evokes a sense of modern elegance, refinement, and timeless sophistication,"&nbsp;

The design is reflective of Armadale’s historic architecture, leafy streets, and mix of luxurious classic and contemporary homes, with&nbsp;marble and warm timbers used throughout.<img alt="Manningtree" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3a2e9eb8-f8ec-4eac-9018-3fb9324a985a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-09%20at%209.26.27%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Oq2W5PJ4Cv8LBJR9huh7PlAGi4UBYt4r" />

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

Leading <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> developer, Sherpa Group, has officially launched the $68 million Flourish Oasis, marking the group’s next chapter in the Flourish story, as they drive the transformation of Palm Beach.

Situated on an 810 sqm site, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/flourish-oasis-palm-beach-7-9-sixth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">Flourish Oasis</a> will continue the brand’s legacy, delivering more residential options to a region where demand is quickly outpacing supply.

Flourish Oasis will deliver 47 corner apartments, in two- and three-bedroom layouts filled with natural light, catering to local downsizers and families. Apartments start from $990,000.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151449 project_image_fid=357459]

“We are thrilled to have launched Flourish Oasis, marking the launch of our second Flourish project in Palm Beach,” said Christie Leet, founder of Sherpa Group.

“Oasis will be a more boutique building with protected ocean views to the north, which is extremely rare in Palm Beach. It’s amazing to see Oasis resonate with so many, having already received a strong pre-launch inquiry, with 600 people already on the waitlist.”

Palm Beach is undergoing a period of transformation, where a flood of lifestyle buyers and a shortage of new projects have made it one of the most undersupplied markets in the city, with the suburb needing more than triple its supply to meet the growing demand.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151449 project_image_fid=357460]

A recent report from Urbis highlighted that the Palm Beach catchment will require 382 new dwellings each year to cater to the population growth but estimates that only 119 new apartments are currently available across the southern coastal area, with just eight per cent of them located at Palm Beach, pushing prices up to an average weighted sale price of $2.25 million.

Leading the charge to deliver more attainable residential options is Sherpa Group, which has quickly become the most active developer in Palm Beach, with more than $42 million invested into four sites over the past 12 months under the Flourish brand, including Amargo, Ovana, and the just-launched Oasis.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151449 project_image_fid=357463]

“Our Flourish brand has been created to deliver design-led lifestyle-focused apartments, catered to locals who have struggled to enter or stay in the Palm Beach market,” added Leet.

“Oasis will continue the strong momentum of Amargo, delivering new energy into Palm Beach, providing homes that seamlessly blend comfort and sophistication, whilst building a community that can thrive.”

Residents will have access to premium roof-top amenities with sweeping beach views, including a pool, gym, barbecue facilities, sauna, steam room, hot and cold plunges and spa.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151449 project_image_fid=357467]

Sherpa Group have undertaken 16 projects on the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> since 2018, with the launch of Oasis, following closely behind the group’s successful debut in Brisbane with Symphony, which has sold 73 per cent of its units&nbsp;within one week of launching.

Construction is expected to commence on Oasis in January 2026 by LPS Group, with completion slated for late 2027.

Sherpa launches Flourish Oasis apartments in Palm Beach

Queensland-based builder-developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/bpg-developments">BPG Developments</a> has secured its second approval in South East Queensland in the space of a week.

Fresh off securing the green light from the Brisbane City Council for their <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/bpg-developments-secures-development-approval-for-250-million-newstead-project">103-unit Newstead tower</a>, now BPG, led by Nick Parr and Glen Williams, can start their latest project in Palm Beach.

The new $165 million project, Palmiere, will rise on the dress circle Jefferson Lane and will feature 58 apartments, three townhouses, and eight penthouses.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/palmiere-66-jefferson-lane-palm-beach-qld-4221">Palmiere</a> will launch early next year.

Future Palmiere residents will have access to extensive wellness facilities, including a state of-the-art gym, a custom-designed sauna, luxurious spa and outdoor shower, surrounding an expansive amenities deck that will boast a pool, cabanas, sunbeds, and landscaping throughout.&nbsp;

BPG currently has five completed or planned projects across Brisbane and Gold Coast within its portfolio, totalling around $500 million end value.&nbsp;

<img alt="Palmiere" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bd0b3762-d462-4a64-86a1-403afb07adee" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-15%20at%209.42.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=1QEGxnUEI8OfuCiXrz_j48gKw9Q9pDoW" />

BPG Co-founder Nick Parr said Palmiere reflects the next phase in Palm Beach’s evolution as one of the Gold Coast’s most sought-after residential markets.

"Our vision was to deliver a project of enduring quality - one that responds to its beachfront location through thoughtful design and functionality. As a builder-developer, we have full oversight of every stage of delivery, which gives us greater control over quality, timelines and outcomes, and provides purchasers with confidence in both the process and the final product.”&nbsp;

BPG Co-founder Glen Williams said Palm Beach embodies the core principles of their approach.

“Each project we undertake is considered and deliberate, with a focus on long-term value and design integrity rather than volume.”&nbsp;

MOTIV Founder Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to sell Palmiere, said Palm Beach is consistently one of the top most searched suburbs in the Gold Coast for property, and it's not hard to see why.

“Palm Beach has a tight-knit community feel and offers proximity to some of the area’s best restaurants and beaches," Cottam said.

“Palmiere will appeal to a large section of the market seeking a luxury address in an attainable price point, just one block back from the beach.&nbsp;A site like this is incredibly rare and we expect the market to react positively and swiftly when we launch early next year.”&nbsp;

Aultun Group

The Aultun Group&rsquo;s latest Keysborough development, The Woodlands, is set to deliver a new living experience in the south-east Melbourne suburb.

Situated at 21-23 Loxwood Avenue, the estate features a collection of 42 double-story house and land packages designed with aspirational families in mind.

The three and four-bedroom homes were designed to be modern and timeless with a complementary colour palette of greys and timber accents across the fa&ccedil;ade.

<blockquote>
&ldquo;New projects like the Woodlands coming along will go a long way to satisfying the serious market demand for new house and land&rdquo;, said Oliver Hume&rsquo;s Harvey Carretero.
</blockquote>

Carretero noted that as a rapidly growing suburb, Keysborough was emerging as a vibrant, new residential area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108775 project_image_fid=179327]

Set 27-kilometres from the Melbourne CBD, the suburban gem boasts a number of neighbourhood amenities.

&ldquo;The location is unsurpassed for its close proximity to an array of amenities&rdquo;, according to the developers.

Within walking distance to the property are Dingley shops and Parkmore Shopping Centre, anchored by Woolworths and Coles.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108775 project_image_fid=179333]

There is a collection of eateries and caf&eacute;s along the Dingley shopping strip on Centre Dandenong Road, including Match &amp; Co Caf&eacute; and Strange Servant.

Residents can also appreciate the range of recreation opportunities on offer thanks to the green spaces and leafy retreats that dot the neighbouring streetscapes.

&ldquo;[S]hare in a round of golf at the Southern Golf Course or watch the kids play in the fantastic playgounds at Tatterson Park&rdquo;, the project marketing suggests.

Backing on to a peaceful parkside sanctuary, residents will always have their daily fix of the outdoors, as well as the neighbouring Spring Valley Park and Keysborough Community Park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108775 project_image_fid=179331]

Keysborough provides a range of educational offerings, including South Primary school, the established Haileybury College and Lighthouse Christian College.

Eight kilometres from the home, you will also find Monash, a leading Australian university that boasts a student population exceeding 85,000

A short drive from the Woodlands estate, residents will find Mordialloc Beach and discover the bay and beach caf&eacute;s.

The well-developed and popular beach includes a pier, picnic areas and a curving promenade running behind the beach from the pier to the lifesaving club and beyond.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108775 project_image_fid=179329]

The revitalisation of the Greater Dandenong has continued to transform the region, adding a strong incentive to invest.

In 2006, the Victorian Government pledged $290 million to this renewal over the next 20 years to 2026, which will leverage $18 billion in private sector development, create 5,000 new jobs and 4,000 new homes.

The Woodlands is expected to reach completion in early 2023.

Delivered by the Aultun Group, the Woodlands is about creating a place families can call home for a lifetime, says director Frank Ruffo.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108775 project_image_fid=179331]

&ldquo;The Woodlands is an opportunity for families to secure their dream home built to superior specifications&rdquo;, he said.

&ldquo;The house and land packages provide families the room they need to grow and we&rsquo;re incorporating fully landscaped gardens with modern fixtures and finishes.&rdquo;

Set in an ideal location surrounded by parklands that delivers a refreshing change of pace for families, the development also enjoys the convenience of being situated close to schools, shopping centres and outdoor lifestyle precincts like Tatterson Park and Southern Golf Couse.

Oliver Hume&rsquo;s Harvey Carretero said Keysborough was a rapidly growing suburb and was emerging as a vibrant, new residential area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108775 project_image_fid=179332]

&ldquo;New projects like the Woodlands coming along will go a long way to satisfying the serious market demand for new house and land,&rdquo; Carretero said.

&ldquo;A feature of Keysborough is its road access from all directions, linking the suburb conveniently to Dandenong, Chadstone Shopping Centre and the beaches by the bay.&rdquo;

The developers are anticipating significant demand for the project from buyers looking to seize new house and land in a growing Melbourne suburb.

Display Tour: Sixth Avenue by Aultun Group in Chelsea Heights, Melbourne

Sixth Ave is the latest Bayside development by the Aultun Group, who pride themselves on identifying development sites close to desirable amenities.

The 59 townhouse development in the sought-after Chelsea Heights&nbsp;has been designed in keeping with its Bayside location&nbsp;by Point Architects. Led by Edgar Grech, Sixth Ave was the first project in the area.

Urban recently sat down with Point Architects director Edgar Grech to discuss&nbsp;the design details of Sixth Ave.

JR: What was the brief of Sixth Ave from Aultun Group?&nbsp;

EG: To develop an open plan neighbourhood community that has active street presence. It was also important to develop efficient two&nbsp;and three&nbsp;bedroom housing for all cross sections of the community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=32136 project_image_fid=93835]

JR: Where did you take your inspiration from?

EG: Our inspiration was taken from a contemporary design approach&nbsp;

JR: What was the biggest challenge when designing Sixth Ave?

EG: Ensuring that the internal amenity had opportunity for substantial landscaping, that every residence had a sense of address and most dwellings provided the opportunity to have a backyard and sense of place.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=32136 project_image_fid=93832]

JR: What do you think buyers will like most about the design?

EG: The development provides design variety in dwelling sizes and bedroom numbers. It&rsquo;s not a generic one type design in floor plan and facade.&nbsp;

JR: How important was matching the townhouses to fit in with the Bayside suburb?

EG: It fits in form and scale, however, it provides a modern approach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=32136 project_image_fid=93831]

JR: How important was it to have sustainability features in the Sixth Ave townhomes?

EG: Sustainability is what we all want. We feel this is not an option but an integral part of the design.

JR: Which part of the project are you most looking forward to seeing when completed?

EG: Apart from the architecture, the openness and ease of movement of the development.

Walking Tour: What's within walking distance from Sixth Avenue 

Aultun Group&rsquo;s latest Melbourne development, Collins &amp; Bates, is a collection of 98 one, two and three-bedroom residences across two individually styled buildings.

Designed by Point Architecture and C&amp;C Interiors, each apartment encapsulates elegance, style and timeless design.

The project features open-plan living spaces, monsoon showers, ample storage and leafy courtyards, offering an ideal setting to entertain or unwind in the home&rsquo;s various living spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3950]

With one-bedroom apartments priced from $420,000 and three-bedroom apartments priced from $1,000,000, Chadstone will suit the needs of first home buyers, investors and downsizers alike.

Flooded with natural light from over-sized windows and calming green nature, Collins &amp; Bates makes each home a private sanctuary in the premium Melbourne suburb of Chadstone.

Still unsure? Urban takes a look at four reasons why buying in Melbourne&#39;s Chadstone area could be a smart move.

1. Chadstone is seeing a recovery trend

As Australian dwelling markets saw an accelerating recovery trend through the December quarter, CoreLogic expects that the incidence of profit-making sales may increase in Melbourne over the coming months.

While investor resales may come under some pressure in the inner-city Melbourne market as a result of lower rental asking prices, the current record low mortgage rates appear to be an offsetting factor.

2. It&rsquo;s Australia&rsquo;s fashion capital

<a href="/buildings/collins-bates-19-25-collins-street-chadstone"><img alt="" height="563" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/shutterstock_1393312640.jpg" width="1000" /></a>

The revered suburb of Chadstone is Australia&rsquo;s premier retail destination and luxury fashion capital. In close location to Chadstone Shopping Centre, the area provides unmatched access to endless retail options from designer boutiques to apartment stores.

Following the Centre&rsquo;s $660 million refurbishment in 2016, Chadstone is all you need to get your fashion fix.

3. The lush, green setting

Chadstone&rsquo;s various offerings aren&rsquo;t just limited to its premier retail and entertaining facets, but its lesser-known parklands offer residents the chance to unwind from city living. North of the suburb, Gardiners Creek provides a leafy setting unearthing natural serenity.

Whether you&rsquo;re looking for recreation areas and playing fields or scenic cycling trails, Melbourne has you covered, with trails following through Malvern Valley Golf Course all the way to the Yarra River.

4. Chadstone is a culinary destination

<a href="/buildings/collins-bates-19-25-collins-street-chadstone"><img alt="" height="1302" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/lifestyle2.jpg" width="1850" /></a>

Melbournians love their food, wine and beer, and Chadstone&rsquo;s vibrant eateries provide all three. Not too far afield are some of Melbourne&rsquo;s most distinctive and beloved urban villages, with an array of restaurants from every cuisine.
