Construction has commenced&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-palm-house-bellevue-hill-88-birriga-road-bellevue-hill-nsw-2023">Kew Palm House</a>, marking a significant milestone for the boutique Bellevue Hill apartment project on one of the suburb's best streets.

Developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/kew">KEW</a> recently hosted the traditional ground-breaking ceremony, joined by key project partners, officially turning the soil on what will become one of Bellevue Hill's most impressive new developments in one of&nbsp;Sydney’s most tightly held residential markets.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=133966 project_image_fid=352214]

Set across two low-rise buildings on the dress circle Birriga Road, Kew Palm House will deliver a mix of 16 two-, three-, and four-bedroom residences, including whole-floor homes and penthouses, responding to sustained demand from downsizers and owner-occupiers seeking high-quality apartment living without leaving the suburb.

The project occupies an amalgamated 3,000 sqm site bordering the Royal Sydney Golf Club, a rarity for new apartment development in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/bellevue-hill-nsw-2023">Bellevue Hill</a>.

Architecture by Woods Bagot takes a townhome-inspired approach, with finely detailed façades and layered massing designed to sit comfortably within the established streetscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=133966 project_image_fid=352216]

The buildings are surrounded by landscaped gardens by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/dangar-barin-smith">Dangar Barin Smith</a>, with communal pathways leading to a pool house and shared alfresco spaces intended to support a quieter, more residential form of apartment living.

Interiors will feature natural materials including travertine, stone and engineered timber, alongside V-ZUG kitchen appliances, with layouts prioritising generous proportions, privacy and indoor-outdoor connection.

Each residence has been designed to maximise natural light while maintaining separation from neighbouring homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=133966 project_image_fid=352222]

Kew Palm House forms part of KEW’s growing Eastern Suburbs portfolio under the Positive Investment Enterprise group. It follows the completion of Kew Bondi on Bondi Road, with Kew Hillcrest in Rose Bay also currently under construction. Palm House reflects the developer’s longer-term commitment to Bellevue Hill, where opportunities for new, design-led apartment projects remain limited.

Kew Palm House is targeting completion in late 2027, with construction to be delivered by Harvestland Construction. KEW also has Kew Hillcrest in Rose Bay under construction, just five luxury apartments near the beach.

Construction commences at Kew Palm House in Bellevue Hill

Brisbane-based <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/spyre-group">Spyre Group</a> is continuing to bolster its impress SEQ development pipeline with one of its most ambitious projects to date.

The developer, led by Daniel Laruccia and Andrew Malouf, is planning just over 300 apartments across three towers on the prized beachfront side of Main Beach Parade in Main Beach.

The prized 3,344 sqm site at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/3640-main-beach-parade-main-beach-qld-4217">3640-3642 Main Beach Parade</a> also fronts Stafford and Montgomery Avenue and will offer street-level hospitality.

<img alt="3640 Main Beach Parade, MAIN BEACH QLD 4217" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="18bfcdb3-b958-4b20-a85b-c61e3dbf81b9" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Spyre%20DA%20pers.png?VersionId=QvGNOHg6KDoScJZw2nAkvbun0DT2gUn1" />

The project has been designed by New Zealand-based architecture firm Monk Mackenzie, whose scheme references the fluidity of coastal forces. The smallest tower will be 37 storeys, with the other two topping out at 41 storeys. The sculptural form intends to "resonate with the site's unique peninsular position between the Coral Sea and the Broadwater."

The southernmost tower will have just 59 four-bedroom apartments, above two food and drinks venues. Towers two and three, the tallest, will have 125 two- and three-bedroom apartments in each.

“The towers stand not in opposition to the dynamic coastal landscape, but in dialogue with it,” the architects wrote in their Design Report.

“Like tide posts embedded in sand, they register change. The movements of water, light, air, and human circulation gather and disperse around them”.

<img alt="3640 Main Beach Parade, MAIN BEACH QLD 4217" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="cb2f3eb7-c517-47e5-afc8-01685c658a82" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/spyre%20podium.png?VersionId=hYe0w7UBEVNY7LPcoK9PnO9myEGn_xES" />

The podiums of each tower will feature landscaped communal open spaces, pools, and active wellness zones with spas, saunas and gyms with outdoor areas, as well a cinema and dining spaces.

Spyre's application describes the site as “uniquely positioned” to accommodate such scale, noting its separation from other towers, underutilised status, and alignment with the Gold Coast’s Light Rail Urban Renewal overlay. The staging strategy allows the towers to be delivered independently. Before it's amalgamation to make it a larger site, Spyre had approved plans for MARI, a 19-storey building with 15 apartments

<img alt="3640 Main Beach Parade, MAIN BEACH QLD 4217" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ef40ca57-1c77-4568-a8aa-91c742334bef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/spyre%20amenities.png?VersionId=BcaHvU4UeLkabtNlqydmvkuTEyuYmpft" />

Spyre’s wide-ranging portfolio includes Watts &amp; Wright in Bulimba, Moray House in New Farm, and ARC Residences in Toowong, all of which are approaching completion. It also includes Hampden Ltd in Melbourne’s Bayside, marking the company’s first project in Victoria’s capital.

Spyre has previously achieved significant success on the Gold Coast, setting region-breaking records at Glass House by Spyre in Burleigh Heads, where apartments sold for $24 million and $24.54 million. Cala Dei in Coolangatta also sold out in record time.

Spyre will soon launch Echo by Spyre, a boutique development of just nine villas in Tugun.

Spyre's three-tower beachfront plans for Main Beach

IPM Property is progressing plans for its third development in Mona Vale in Sydney's Northern Beaches, and its latest will be the biggest yet.

IPM, led by Steven Sroba and Chris Webster, has filed a State Significant Development Application to the NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority for 82 apartments on a prime 6,122 sqm site stretching across <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/159-167-darley-street-west-mona-vale-nsw-2103">159-167 Darley Street West</a>, opposite Bayview Golf Course and just under 800m from Mona Vale town centre.

They've had <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/pbd-architects">PBD Architects</a> draw up the plans for the three-building development which will offer a mix of 26 two-bedroom units and 56 three-beds with interiors by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/mim-design">Mim Design</a>.

According to the Design Report by PBD, the built form "responds to the site’s natural fall, solar orientation, and established vegetation, creating a layered architectural expression that balances scale, materiality, and landscape”.

<img alt="159-167 Darley Street West, Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="44040ed2-13c6-4f18-8326-a51467cb8532" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Mona%20vale%20pers.png?VersionId=4H1gEiyyCX2yT_fYV6kAdWaaVlCttC6P" />

The proposal aims to maximise passive design outcomes, with the site’s northern orientation supporting solar access and cross-ventilation. Building footprints have been shaped to preserve high-retention trees and accommodate an overland flow path, which runs diagonally through the rear of the site.

The development includes several sustainability initiatives, such as full electrification, EV charging provisions, and generous communal open spaces integrated across the ground and rooftop levels. As outlined in the planning documents, the buildings have been stepped in both plan and elevation to reduce bulk and provide separation to adjacent dwellings, in line with the Apartment Design Guide and local controls.

The project site falls just within the 800-metre radius covered by the NSW Government’s Low and Mid-Rise Housing Reforms, which entered their second stage in February 2025. These reforms introduce specific planning controls that significantly increase the potential for medium-density housing growth within 800 metres of the Mona Vale town centre.

IPM has been active in the local market for several years. Its recent projects include Maya on Bungan Street near the town centre, a 33-apartment development completed in late 2024, and Iluka on beachfront Golf Avenue, a boutique project of just 14 apartments. Iluka set a local record in 2021 when a full-floor, three-bedroom apartment sold off the plan for $4.775 million.

Nearby in Palm Beach, IPM is also delivering Snappermans, a collection of just five luxury apartments designed by Koichi Takada Architects, located steps from Pittwater. The developer has also recently completed Como Coogee, a 20-apartment development on Carrington Road.

First look: IPM plans third Mona Vale project

With demand for high-quality family homes in the inner west continuing to rise, young families are increasingly turning to new forms of multi-generational living.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/ashbury-terraces-ashbury-165-171-milton-street-ashbury-nsw-2193">Ashbury Terraces</a>, Nikki Pham and Danny Lai are among the growing number of residents choosing the precinct for its space, design integrity and strong sense of community.

For Nikki and Danny, purchasing a three-storey terrace was about securing a long-term home for their young family. Having spent most of their lives in the inner west, they first discovered the project while it was under construction.

“We walked past and had a look during the build and instantly felt the vibe. It had everything we were looking for,” said Nikki.

A return to green, open spaces was a major drawcard after living closer to the CBD.

“We like going for walks, and here it feels like a mini oasis while still being central to everything we need,” she said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=354944]

Inside, the couple were immediately drawn to the craftsmanship.&nbsp;

“I love the Calacatta marble and timber detailing. If I’d designed it myself, these are exactly the fittings and fixtures I would have picked,” Nikki said. “There’s actually very little I’d change.

“We’ve found the craftsmanship has been great and I believe the beautiful arches and curves, including on our stunning staircase, are all made by hand.”

Since moving in with their seven-month-old baby in mid-August, the family has been making the most of the amenities, especially the pool.&nbsp;

“We love using the shallow area with the baby. It’s great for kids, and the sunbeds are perfect when it’s not too hot,” Danny said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=354939]

The home features kitchen, living and dining areas on the ground floor with courtyard access to the pool, two bedrooms and a study on the middle level, and a master suite on the top floor. The proximity to local parks, childcare, and schools also made it an easy choice.

Nikki has noticed the project is sparking interest from the extended families of new residents.&nbsp;

“Several of our neighbour’s parents have now bought here too. It’s ideal for multi-generational living because everyone has their own space but you’re still close by.”

<h2>A growing trend in the inner west</h2>

Aras Labutis, Head of Urban Transformations at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/coronation-property">Coronation Property</a>, said families like Nikki and Danny’s reflect a broader shift.

“Ashbury Terraces was designed for families at different life stages who want to stay connected to the inner west, including multi-generational households," Labutis said.

"Some terraces even include lifts, which make them ideal for older residents who want to remain independent while living close to children or grandchildren."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=354936]

Recent ABS data shows around one in five Australian households is now multigenerational, following a 22 per cent rise in the five years to 2021.

“The demand we’re seeing aligns with broader national data showing ongoing growth in multi-generational living as families look for practical, long-term solutions in well-connected suburbs.”

<h2>Milton Estate launches as the precinct’s next chapter</h2>

Following this strong response, Coronation is now registering expressions of interest for Milton Estate, the next evolution of the precinct. Strong sales and sustained interest in family-focused inner west homes have underpinned the decision to bring this next stage to market sooner than anticipated.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=358839]

The new collection continues the same design principles, quality materials, heritage sensitivity and family-focused layouts, and its launch reflects demand from both local buyers and extended families who want to remain part of the growing community at Ashbury Terraces.

<h2>A new neighbourhood taking shape</h2>

Designed by award-winning architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, and brought to life with landscaping by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/360-degrees-landscape">360 Degrees</a>, Ashbury Terraces comprises 136 residences across five low-rise buildings, supported by amenities including a pool, gym and landscaped communal spaces.

For Nikki and Danny, it already feels like a place to grow for years to come.

“We’ve found great childcare nearby, and Ashbury Primary and Trinity Grammar are within easy reach. There are other excellent public and private school options too,” Nikki said.

“It’s hard to find something like this in the Inner West,” she added. “It’s certainly unique in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/ashbury-nsw-2193">Ashbury</a>. We’ve got everything we need here and it already feels like home.”

John Wacker, the Hong Kong-based lawyer, has bought in Brisbane's west.
He's recently settled on a $4.1 million acreage in Brookfield.
The hilltop home, known as Lani Mauna, Hawaiian for “mountain reaching heaven”, had been on the market for over a year.
It was designed by architect Tim Ditchfield with strong references to modern tropical architecture after the one hectare block traded for $1.5 million in 2011.
Built with a no expense spared budget, Lani Mauna has five bedrooms, a library, home office, gym, temperature controlled wine cellar and a 22 metre infinity edged solar heated pool.
Johnston Dixon agent Josephine Johnstone-Rowell sold the home.
Wacker, who has been at Bank of American since 2005, owns a $3.28 million Noosa home.

ISPT Property and Brookfield's joint venture development at 405 Bourke Street officially commenced construction yesterday, and Urban.com.au was onsite to witness this significant milestone.

Taking place on level six of the existing car park that forms part of the first phase of the site's development dubbed The Foundry, 405 Bourke Street's launch event offered attendees a glimpse into the heart of the construction site with footing works in full swing.

Also in attendance were representatives from the development partners which included Brookfield's Managing Partner Sophie Fallman, Brookfield's Head of Development (Australia) Carl Schibrowski,  ISPT CEO Daryl Browning plus Matthew Kandelaars,The Property Council of Australia's Acting Victorian Executive Director.

<figcaption>L-R: Matthew Kandelaars (PCA), Daryl Browning (ISPT), Sophie Fallman &amp; Carl Schibrowski (Brookfield)</figcaption></figure>Designed by Woods Bagot, 405 Bourke Street will eventually stand as a 39-storey building which encompasses 31 levels of A-Grade office accommodation. A side core configuration has allowed for 66,491 square metres of net leasable area, supported by three levels of retail and 177 car parking spaces.

ISPT Property acquired a 50% stake in the development - which will also feature a north-south retail laneway linking Bourke Street and Little Collins Street - in December 2017.

The development partners have already secured NAB as the anchor tenant, who committed to a minimum of 43,000 square metres of space, with an option to occupy the balance of floor space. NAB's flexibility option has yet to be acted upon.

<figcaption>On site at 405 Bourke Street.</figcaption></figure>While official construction on the "transformative commercial project" was celebrated yesterday, ground works have been in motion over recent months. A major construction marker will occur this Thursday with a raft slab pour planned; 800 cubic metres of concrete - the equivalent of 200 concrete trucks - will form the major foundation point for the tower.

Typical office floors will be supported by steel-framed structure over the alternative concrete column and floor format. Another challenge looms in the form of the cantilevering floor plates 48 metres above ground, jutting over the adjacent 399 Bourke Street. 

405 Bourke Street is scheduled for completion in March 2021.

Rob Shand, the former boss at asset management giant Blue Sky, and wife Anna, have moved closer to Brisbane following the sale of their Pullenvale home.
They've been reported to be the buyers of the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property/209-moons-lane-brookfield-qld-4069" target="_blank">Pullenvale home</a> of Brisbane wholesaler Doug Rylance and wife Chrysanthe.
They paid $2.4 million for the home back in 2009 shortly after it was remodelled.
The four bedroom, three bathroom home on over 1.1 hectares wasn't publicly marketed (above), but locals believe the price will be around $3 million.
The grounds features a 14 metre swimming pool with separate pavilion, a tennis court with self-contained pavilion and a 60 x 20 metre dressage arena that adjoins fenced paddocks.
There's American barn-style stables and storage and 100 year old Hoop Pines on the property.
It sits just six kilometres away from the Shand's former home which they sold recently.
The five bedroom Woodfield Road home, which also featured a swimming pool and tennis court, has been sold to interests associated with Morgans broking analyst Scott "Scooter" Murdoch
The Australian Financial Review noted a priority notice had now been registered on the title of the Woodfield Road property in the name of Murdoch's partner, Shontelle Thomas. 
Around $1.5 million was expected for the home bought for $993,000 back 2013.
Shand stepped down from the role of chief executive of Blue Sky in April.

Brookfield Residential Properties general manager Lee Butterworth said the success of the project proved that quality, riverfront property was in high demand in Brisbane.
"Gallery House has been a stand-out performer in the Brisbane apartment market, quickly gaining a reputation for luxury, riverfront living that offers city conveniences in a tranquil setting," he said.
"Turning the sod on Gallery House One is a major milestone - made all the more significant by the fact we have simultaneously successfully launched the second phase of the project, Gallery House Two.
"We have partnered with Multiplex to build these apartments to the highest standard and are looking forward to delivering our buyers their dream home."
Brookfield Residential Properties is the most active developer in the Northshore Hamilton precinct, having already delivered six apartment buildings as part of its neighbouring Portside Wharf retail and residential community.
Butterworth said the company's footprint in Northshore Hamilton would ultimately total $1.3 billion - making up a fifth of the entire $5 billion urban renewal project - the largest of its kind in Queensland.
"Brookfield recognised the potential of the Hamilton riverfront early and moved to control up to six hectares of unused State land that we have transformed from a disused industrial area into a thriving waterfront community," he said.
"Our Portside Wharf development was the catalyst for the rejuvenation of Northshore Hamilton and a transformative project for the entire suburb.
"Gallery House will continue this legacy, ensuring the Hamilton riverfront builds on its reputation of offering some of the best living opportunities in Queensland."

Construction commences on Brookfield's Gallery House

<html><body>
Australian contractor Brookfield Multiplex is dropping Brookfield from its name and rebranding to Multiplex while still remaining a Brookfield company. 
Multiplex is owned by Brookfield Business Partners, the flagship listed entity of Canadian private equity firm Brookfield Asset Management.
The construction company was bought by Brookfield Asset Management for more than $4 billion in 2007.
John Flecker, chief executive officer of Multiplex Australasia, said, “This is a time for us to rebrand and to ensure our own unique construction identity both within the Brookfield group and with our external stakeholders as a global construction business.” 
“Aside from our name and logo changing, it’s business as usual. There are no operational or organisational changes being made.” 
Multiplex was established in 1962, and its projects are worth US$66.2 billion, according to a press release.

Brookfield Multiplex rebrands to Multiplex, no change in ownership

<html><body>
Cbus Property is set to kick off construction on arguably its two most prized Melbourne developments.

447 Collins Street has landed builder Brookfield Multiplex in an early contractor involvement role, with works to begin during September. Usurping 447 Collins Street with an August construction start will be Classic East Melbourne, with the ultra high-end residential development looking to take advantage of strong demand for luxury apartment living.

Prompting 447 Collins Street's move to construction is news that law firm King &amp; Wood Mallesons will anchor the commercial aspect of the development by taking 8,300sqm or 20% of the 49,000sqm of leasable commercial space available.

<figcaption>Collins Arch edges closer to reality</figcaption></figure>The development team will push for the project to become Melbourne's first <a href="https://www.wellcertified.com/well">WELL Building Standard</a>-rated commercial tower. A WELL rating pertains to a given building's built environment health with behavior, operations and design taken into account. With a 2019 completion date set, King &amp; Wood Mallesons staff will be among the many white collar workers within 447 Collins Street which will also sport extensive end of trip facilities.

With 447 Collins Street locked into construction Cbus Property and agent Colliers International will focus on leasing the balance of commercial space still available, whilst also preparing to launch the residential aspect of the project which will be known as Collins Arch. Marketing for the 205 luxury apartments will begin during September.

Meanwhile construction works are to commence next month on Cbus Property's Classic East Melbourne apartment project. The ultra-luxury development valued at $160 million is a joint venture with global property player Brookfield, finally realising plans to develop sites either side of the Pullman Hotel on East Melbourne's Wellington Parade.

Brookfield's entry into the Melbourne apartment market follows on from its acquisition of Thakral Holdings which initiated plans to develop the land holding the best part of a decade ago.

<figcaption>Mosspenoch and 22 Clarendon in view. Image: CBUS Property</figcaption></figure>Aimed squarely at the higher end buyer, apartments within the tri-building project will be priced between $1.4 million and $6.5 million.

Lovell Chen have devised apartments within the 1882 Mosspenoch building. Originally designed by Charles Webb, the grand home will now be refashioned into six three bedroom apartments of between 167 to 273sqm. Modern additions are by Bates Smart and take the form of a seven level building at 22 Clarendon Street and a fourteen level build dubbed Parade fronting Wellington Parade.

Dwellings within 22 Clarendon Street maintain average internals of over 200sqm whilst Parade with 49 apartments included, is topped with a garden penthouse holding 306sqm of internal living space.

Overall Classic East Melbourne will encompass 67 apartments with project completion set for early 2018.
