<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/collingwood-vic-3066">Collingwood</a>’s northern edge continues to sharpen its reputation as one of Melbourne’s most compelling cultural precincts, where established creative institutions, leading hospitality, and independent fashion converge within a tightly held inner-city neighbourhood.

Set within this evolving pocket, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/derby-street-by-milieu-collingwood-4-derby-street-collingwood-vic-3066">Derby Street by Milieu</a> draws on a location that balances proximity to some of the inner north’s most influential destinations with the quieter, tree-lined character that defines the streets edging East Melbourne. Positioned just moments from both Smith and Gertrude Streets, the address sits on the periphery of Collingwood’s cultural core, offering immediate access without the intensity of its busiest frontages.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145576 project_image_fid=355945]

Gertrude Street, in particular, anchors the area’s identity as a destination for Melbourne’s leading food, art and fashion. Within a short walk, venues such as Marion, Cutler &amp; Co, IDES and the Builders Arms Hotel define a tightly curated dining scene with enduring citywide appeal, complemented by a strong fashion and retail presence including Havn, Le Labo and a selection of independent boutiques.

Nearby, institutions such as the Australian Print Workshop and Collingwood Yards sustain a constant rhythm of exhibitions, performances and creative output, embedding art and culture into the everyday fabric of the neighbourhood.

Smith Street, running parallel, extends this offering with a broader mix of hospitality and nightlife, maintaining its status as one of Melbourne’s most active inner-urban strips.

Beyond these high-energy streets, the immediate surrounds shift in tone. Derby Street and its neighbouring blocks are defined by low-rise heritage terraces, mature trees and a settled residential character. Fitzroy Gardens and Carlton Gardens are both within walking distance, alongside the Royal Exhibition Building and Melbourne Museum, bringing together green space and cultural landmarks within minutes of home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145576 project_image_fid=355985]

Connectivity remains a key advantage. The CBD sits within easy reach, accessible by tram along Smith Street in around 20 minutes, while also remaining close enough to walk or cycle, supported by the inner north’s established bike network.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/milieu-property">Milieu</a>’s long-standing connection to Collingwood underpins the project’s approach. With a portfolio that includes multiple nearby developments across Bedford, Peel and Napier Streets, the developer brings a sustained understanding of the area’s character and evolution. Derby Street continues this trajectory as a collaboration with award-winning Melbourne-based <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/studio-bright">Studio Bright</a>, marking the practice’s first multi-residential project in the inner north and reflecting a shared focus on design integrity and contextual response.&nbsp;

Balancing connection to the neighbourhood with a sense of seclusion and refuge, Derby Street by Milieu embodies a level of care and craft typically reserved for single residential projects. Comprising 22 residences across six storeys, with two to four-bedroom configurations priced from $1.15 million, the project is currently under construction with completion expected in late 2027.&nbsp;

A rare new apartment development in the Blue Mountains is the latest in a string of State Significant Development Applications submitted through the New South Wales Government's Housing Delivery Authority.

A total of 270 apartments are being proposed for the 1.16-hectare site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/blue-mountains-alpine-retreat-142-150-narrow-neck-road-katoomba-nsw-2780">142–150 Narrow Neck Road in Katoomba</a>, a parcel of land adjoining the former Katoomba Golf Course. The site was acquired for $3.85 million in 2021 by private developer VDM Prime.

The apartments, comprising a mix of serviced apartments, affordable housing, and traditional build-to-sell product, will be spread across eight low-rise buildings, along with a separate building for a new restaurant, arranged around a green spine that leads to a central park.

<img alt="Katoomba" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ee9a2072-f465-44f1-9076-80c9c8ecca02" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-22%20at%209.20.21%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4bT0vQ7j_syl65wcrJmHGm3m5pTvwrY_" />

The Urban Design Report by Atlas Urban says the vision is to create a "contemporary mountain precinct that is responsive to its escarpment landscape, heritage character, and community context."

"The development responds to the current housing supply and affordability challenges identified under the NSW Housing Delivery Authority (HDA), providing a balanced mix of standard, affordable, and short-stay accommodation," the report noted.

"By introducing a variety of dwelling types and tenures, the proposal supports intergenerational living, local workforce retention, and greater housing choice within an area constrained by topography, heritage, and environmental protections."

Of the 270 units proposed, 52 will be serviced apartments. The remainder will comprise 54 studios, 121 one-bedroom units, 39 two-bedroom apartments, and four three- to four-bedroom residences.

<img alt="Katoomba" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f704508d-1bdf-4170-955d-0256652402a7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-22%20at%209.56.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=TzarHMO4gTOsblCqsbJQkvMqWj9nu2Au" />

The Design Report, by VDM Prime and appointed architect Antoniades Architects, noted that the design seeks to "provide a built form outcome that is highly considered, respectful and contextually fitting, whilst contributing positively to an evolving precinct."

"The site offers three frontages and the opportunity to provide a meaningful interface with the public domain environment. the design has a sympathetic response to streetscape and the green open space that surrounds the site."

The report states that the buildings are broken up to establish an appropriate bulk and scale, emphasised through height and setback strategies and defined through articulation that supports the transition of precinct granularity. It also notes that a central communal open space is established through the site to enhance the social dynamic and access to amenity, including natural ventilation and light to the apartments. The east and west frontages receive solar access during the morning and afternoon, whilst maximising views to the green open space.

The site adjoins the recently completed Yarrabee Katoomba development, comprising 24 duplexes that were completed last year and sold through McGrath Projects.

The relatively new Housing Delivery Authority pathway established by the NSW Government allows developers to submit State Significant Development Applications through a fast-tracked state process, effectively reducing reliance on local council approval pathways and aiming to accelerate housing delivery across New South Wales.

First look: Nearly 300 apartments pitched on former Katoomba golf course site

In Melbourne’s established inner east, the qualities that define a traditional house, width, height, and access to open ground, are increasingly difficult to replicate in new residential developments. Larger landholdings are scarce, and with them, the ability to create apartments that extend beyond compact, internalised layouts.&nbsp;

In <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/kew-vic-3101">Kew</a>, where the residential fabric is shaped by generous setbacks and mature tree canopies, that tension is especially visible.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/ricdanic-investments-pty-ltd">Ricdanic</a>&nbsp;is bringing forward a boutique collection of just 13 residences across two buildings at 9–11 Wimba Avenue, Kew. Comprising six homes at No.9 and seven at No.11, the project sits on a quiet, tree-lined street just off Cotham Road.&nbsp;

Each apartment has been planned with a level of independence more commonly associated with standalone dwellings, balancing privacy with the efficiencies of apartment living.

Architect Chris Idle, who has been practising for over two decades, says projects like this don’t come along often.

“There are very few opportunities to do these kinds of developments in leafy, established suburbs,” he explains. “To get this level of amenity, natural light, and architectural freedom in such a setting is extremely rare.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140755 project_image_fid=366267]

The internal planning begins with width. Living areas extend beyond five metres, allowing furniture, circulation, and glazing to sit comfortably within the same zone without compression. Ceiling heights shift from three metres through to five metres in select areas, changing the sense of scale as you move through the apartment. These proportions are paired with double-glazed windows and fully electric systems, balancing volume with performance, supported by a 7.2 NatHERS energy rating.&nbsp;

From the main living space, the apartments open directly outward. Large sliding doors connect to private gardens averaging 125 square metres, with some residences also incorporating balconies of around 60 square metres. Rather than acting as secondary outdoor zones, these areas sit flush with the internal floor level, extending the usable footprint of the home and allowing for multiple modes of use, whether for quiet daily routines or larger gatherings.&nbsp;

The landscape, led by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/john-patrick-landscape-architects">John Patrick</a>, reinforces this relationship. Across the site, 23 different plant species have been introduced, including a mix of native and established varieties, arranged to maintain privacy while preserving sightlines and light access. Gardens are not treated as decorative buffers but as functional extensions of the apartments, shaped to accommodate movement, seating, and informal use over time.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140755 project_image_fid=366265]

Architecturally, the project draws from Kew’s historic residential language. Handmade bricks by Krause define the exterior, grounding the buildings within the material palette of the suburb, while interior finishes, stone, timber flooring, and restrained detailing, continue this approach internally. Architect Chris Idle describes the intent as long-term rather than stylistic: “We wanted it to feel timeless.”&nbsp;

This emphasis on durability extends to how the buildings are accessed and secured. Entry is managed through keyless systems, with a double-gated basement incorporating number plate recognition for vehicle access. Each residence is paired with a private lock-up garage accommodating two to three cars, alongside storage, while all entry points are monitored continuously. These measures sit alongside EV readiness and fully electric infrastructure, aligning the project’s operational systems with its long-term design outlook.&nbsp;

The setting remains central to how the development is experienced. Located within walking distance of Kew Junction and close to established schools including Carey Grammar and Xavier College, the address benefits from existing infrastructure while maintaining a residential quietness that is increasingly difficult to find at this scale.&nbsp;

Construction is being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/sinjen">Sinjen</a>, with a 10-year structural guarantee, with completion targeted for mid-2027.

High-end Sydney developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a> has secured approval for one of its latest Mosman projects, one of the first developments approved by Mosman Council under the NSW Government’s Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy.

The approval represents an important step in delivering well-considered housing next to established village locations on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, in line with the intent of the Low and Mid-Rise zoning framework. 
&nbsp; 
There are currently 13 other sites lodged within Mosman Council under the policy, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/27-29-heydon-street-mosman-nsw-2088">Heydon Street</a> among the first to receive development consent. 
&nbsp; 
Abadeen Founder and Executive Chairman Justin Brown said the project reflects a considered and appropriate response to its planning context. 
&nbsp; 
“This approval demonstrates how carefully considered, design-led development can align with the objectives of the Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy," Brown said.

"The scheme has been designed to respond sensitively to its village setting, with a built form, scale and level of amenity appropriate to its local context. The determination reflects a balanced and considered planning outcome, with Council recognising the capacity for this site to accommodate additional housing within a well-located and established precinct.”

<img alt="Abadeen secures first approval under low and mid-rise housing policy for Heydon Street, Mosman" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="92811ce3-02e8-44fc-996e-c61ae039bd3e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Heydon%20Street%20Aerial.jpg?VersionId=ZHJVuWQT64QcdrFJx963pFWFzTX7lI2I" />

The Heydon Street approval followed extensive consultation with Mosman Council, with Abadeen working closely with Council throughout the assessment process.

The approved scheme comprises 27 residences, with only four per floor, creating a low-density living environment. The building will include four half-floor penthouses designed to capture views across Middle Harbour, Sydney Harbour and the surrounding district.&nbsp;

The project is expected to appeal to downsizers and owner-occupiers seeking house-like proportions, privacy and local convenience. There will be north-facing Middle Harbour views from the second level upward. It is also just a flat 100-metre walk to Bridgepoint Shopping Centre, which will appeal to owner-occupiers and in particular downsizers.

Two-bedroom residences are expected to be priced from $1.99 million when sales launch later this year. 
&nbsp; 
Joe Tack, CEO at Abadeen, said the outcome reflects both the quality of the site and the broader need for well-located housing. 
&nbsp; 
“This is a highly considered site within a highly established local setting, offering elevated views and strong connectivity. The project has been designed to respond to that context, delivering a scale and quality of housing aligned with both the planning framework and evolving market demand.” 
&nbsp; 
“This approval is particularly significant in the context of Mosman, where new housing supply has historically been limited. While it represents the first approval of this scale in Mosman to be achieved in over 50 years, it is importantly located within a well-established residential location, in close proximity to the established commercial amenity of Spit Road and Mosman Village. It reflects strong confidence in Abadeen’s approach to design, delivery and community integration, while contributing to the delivery of much-needed housing in a highly constrained market.”

Abadeen has an established track record across Sydney’s Lower North Shore, with recent completions including KOYO in Crows Nest and ENSO in Neutral Bay.

In Mosman, Abadeen recently completed The Hampden, with Mosman Residences on the corner of Spit Road and Clifford Street scheduled for completion later this year. Construction has also commenced at Burran Residences, comprising three full-floor ultra-premium homes positioned just 50 metres from Balmoral Beach, with residences expected to achieve prices in excess of $20 million. Two further projects are also progressing through planning within the local government area.

Apartment developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> is one of the latest entrants to the Gold Coast development market, with its debut project set to be one of the most boutique offerings on Chevron Island in recent years.

Martello has unveiled <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/aere-chevron-island-18-20-mawarra-street-chevron-island-qld-4217">Aere Chevron Island</a>, a collection of 33 large-scale two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments across an 18-storey building on Mawarra Street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367517]

The developer has placed a strong emphasis on wellness, briefing architecture firm Raunik Design to embed this philosophy into the project. It is a direction <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> plans to carry through its future developments along the coast.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> has positioned Aere as a continuation of its human-centric development approach, with a focus extending beyond amenity to the fundamentals of layout, natural light, and spatial planning. Promax Construction has already been appointed to deliver the project, with construction expected to commence in the coming months as part of the group’s broader expansion into South East Queensland.

Rising above the low-rise fabric of Chevron Island, Aere’s design emphasises generous internal proportions and uninterrupted outlooks, with residences oriented to capture coastal, skyline, and waterway views. Interiors prioritise open-plan living, with large-format glazing and carefully considered transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367508]

The upper levels are dedicated to larger-format homes, including four-bedroom residences designed as half-floor offerings. These layouts prioritise separation between living and sleeping zones, along with increased privacy and storage, features more commonly associated with detached housing than traditional apartment product.

Aere’s private resident amenity spaces centre on wellness. A rooftop level will incorporate a heated swimming pool, sauna and spa, alongside a residents’ lounge, dining areas and barbecue spaces, while additional shared facilities throughout the building include a gym and yoga area.

The inclusion of both social and quieter retreat spaces reflects a broader shift in higher-end apartment design on the Gold Coast, where developers are increasingly responding to owner-occupier demand for buildings that support long-term living rather than short-stay use.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367814]

Aere is positioned within walking distance of Chevron Island’s village centre along Thomas Drive, as well as the HOTA cultural precinct via the Green Bridge, connecting residents to parklands, galleries, and event spaces.

For <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a>, Aere represents the first in a series of planned Gold Coast developments, with the group also exploring opportunities in other coastal precincts, including Kirra and Palm Beach.

The move north comes as sustained population growth and infrastructure investment continue to reshape South East Queensland, with developers increasingly targeting boutique, design-led projects in established lifestyle pockets. Aere’s relatively small scale and emphasis on spatial quality position it within this emerging segment of the market.

Take a stroll through Camberwell: What’s within walking distance from the Victoria & Burke development

Victoria &amp; Burke in Melbourne&#39;s Camberwell has been catching the eye, as penthouses in the boutique development of just 15&nbsp;apartments break the leafy Melbourne suburb&#39;s record.

Two penthouses sold already last year at $5.5m, topping Camberwell&#39;s previous penthouse record set at $4 million at FKP&#39;s Aerial Apartments. The final penthouse sold this week for $4.5m at a record of $19,000m2 which underlines the quality that V&amp;B offers to its local high end downsizers.&nbsp;

Figurehead&rsquo;s luxury arm known as Flux has been appointed and is already three&nbsp;months into construction, with completion set for Sep 2022.

A number of exclusive Garden Terraces remain in Victoria &amp; Burke, located on the top of Camberwell hill on the corner of Burke and Victoria Road.&nbsp;

The five Garden Terraces each have three bedrooms, with stunning Jack Merlo designed low maintenance&nbsp;outdoor living space and gardens. Where the Carr Design brings their distinctive and unique aesthetic to Victoria &amp; Burke; driven by a vision for contemporary, timeless beauty.

Since construction at the&nbsp;993 Burke Road development is well underway, Urban took a look at five reasons why the project should be on a buyer&#39;s shortlist.

<h2>1. Centred around a Jack Merlo-designed garden</h2>

The whole corner site development centres around a Jack Merlo designed garden, an internationally acclaimed studio known for their exceptional landscape design.

Landscape architect Jack Merlo designed the 420 sqm garden around its centrepiece, a 200-year-old blue gum. It is being marketed as reminiscent of the locked gardens in London.

The&nbsp;Garden Terraces include&nbsp;five ground level residences each with their own outdoor courtyards and eight first-floor apartments with landscaped terraces looking out across Melbourne.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6349 project_image_fid=153518]

<h2>2. Architecture by Carr Design</h2>

Both the architecture and interior design have been handled by the award winning Carr Design, an architecture and interior design studio based in Melbourne with a timeless approach that fosters connection.

Celebrating&nbsp;five decades of design practice, Carr works under the concept of&nbsp;&lsquo;Dynamic Restraint&rsquo;.&nbsp;

Carr describe Victoria &amp; Burke&nbsp;as &quot;stacking the horizontal, wrapping the vertical&quot;.

&ldquo;The site wraps around this huge tree, which created a great opportunity to get a horizontality to the building form. It also means there is a large percentage of garden area, something that is quite rare and offers something completely unique to the project,&rdquo; Carr Design Director&nbsp;Chris McCue says.

&quot;The verticality of the tree is complemented by vertical metal blades, offset by stepped horizontal stacks. The effect is a considered, contemporary form that offers both privacy and openness.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6349 project_image_fid=153517]

<h2>3. Location, Location, Location</h2>

Victoria &amp; Burke has a walk score of 94, located on the top of Camberwell hill on the corner of Burke and Victoria Road.

It is just moments from the nearby Camberwell Village, as well as a number of restaurants, cafe&#39;s, shopping boutiques and parks.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6349 project_image_fid=153501]

<h2>4. Top of the line interiors and amenities</h2>

There are five ground level apartments each with their own outdoor courtyards, eight first-floor apartments with landscaped terraces looking out across Melbourne.

Three penthouses crown the top level with never to be built out 270-degree views of the skyline. The penthouses have their own walk-in wine cellars.

Calm and inviting, enjoy open plan living and warm timber floors drenched in natural light with a seamless connection to lush outdoor spaces.&nbsp;

Each apartment features an entertainer&#39;s kitchen at the hub, complete with a natural monolithic stone island bench, splashback and rangehood dressed in limestone. The kitchens are fitted with Gaggenau appliances and an integrated Liebherr fridge and wine fridge.

Unique features include secure basement garages,&nbsp;integrated gas fireplaces and&nbsp;wine fridges to name a few.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6349 project_image_fid=153511]

<h2>5.&nbsp;200-year-old Blue Gum!</h2>

A magnificent 200-year-old blue gum is the centrepiece of Victoria &amp; Burke&rsquo;s private garden. Designed by renowned landscape architect Jack Merlo, it is a botanic experience sprawling over 420sqm.

Exclusive to the residents providing a unique leafy arbours, lush deep planting, layered textures, and a vast green lawn. Reminiscent of a traditional backyard.

The luxury Camberwell apartment development Victoria &amp; Burke is slated to start its construction this month.

Figurehead Construction will begin building the development of just 16 apartments at 993 Burke Road in April, to plans drawn up by Carr Design.

Victoria &amp; Burke has a walk score of 94, located on the top of Camberwell hill on the corner of Burke and Victoria Road.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6349]

The 7.3 Star Energy Rated apartments are priced from $1,395,000 for the two bedroom apartments and $2.25 million for the three bedroom apartments, with Carr Design working with buyers to amend plans if necessary.

The penthouses are priced between $4.5 million to $5.5 million - with two of the penthouses selling for $5.5 million each late last year which broke the suburb apartment price record.

Landscape architect Jack Merlo designed the 420 sqm garden around its centrepiece, a 200-year-old blue gum. It is being marketed as reminiscent of the locked gardens in London.

<a href="/buildings/victoria-burke-993-burke-road-camberwell"><img alt="" height="1041" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/victoria_and_burke_3.jpg" width="1400"></a>

Carr Design director Chris McCue says the site wrapping around the huge tree created a great opportunity to get a horizontality to the building form.

"It also means there is a large percentage of garden area, something that is quite rare and offers something completely unique to the project,” McCue added.

There are five ground level apartments each with their own outdoor courtyards, eight first-floor apartments with landscaped terraces looking out across Melbourne.

<a href="/buildings/victoria-burke-993-burke-road-camberwell"><img alt="" height="1040" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/victoria_burke_2.jpg" width="1400"></a>

Three penthouses crown the top level with never to be built out 270-degree views of the skyline. The penthouses have their own walk-in wine cellars.

Each apartment features an entertainer's kitchen at the hub, complete with a natural monolithic stone island bench, splashback and rangehood dressed in limestone. The kitchens are fitted with Gaggenau appliances and an integrated Liebherr fridge and wine fridge.

CBRE Residential are marketing the development.

The luxury property developer Beulah has began construction on one of its newest apartment developments, Provenance Camberwell.

There will be just 12 apartments in total, including two penthouses, in the boutique block at 890 Toorak Road which has been designed by Elenberg Fraser.

Prices start from $1.25 million for the two bedroom apartments, with the four bedroom penthouses priced at $3.995 million.

Beulah have appointed the family-ran and owned lurada Property Group to handle the construction. The 2019 Master Builders Award winners for Excellenece in Lowrise Apartment Buildings fought off stiff competition for the build.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9099]

Construction on Provenance Camberwell is slated for completion in mid-2022.

So far the building has proven popular with local owner-occupiers, Beulah managing director Jiaheng Chan said.

”To date, Provenance has been popular with local owner-occupiers looking to capitalise on the project’s location in the heart of vibrant Camberwell as well as its private retreat offering; surrounded by verdant gardens and spacious outdoor terraces, balconies and gardens," Mr Chan said.

<a href="/buildings/890-toorak-road-camberwell"><img alt="" height="911" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/beulah_4.jpg" width="1200"></a>

"Revolutionising apartment living, Provenance Camberwell displays superior design thinking, enhancing the privacy and security of single-dwelling homes within the multi-residential realm with a direct lift for a number of the dwellings.

"The lifts seamlessly transport residents to their home, delivering them directly to their very own private micro-lobby, a stunning transitional space into the home. 

The kitchens, in the open plan kitchen, living and dining areas, are a stand out, featuring a sculptural island bench and Gaggenau appliances.

<a href="/buildings/890-toorak-road-camberwell"><img alt="" height="435" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/beulah_3.jpg" width="1200"></a>

Mr Chan said being able to commence construction was a testimony to the company’s resilience throughout the past year.

“Commencing construction demonstrates our commitment to future residents that we are in a strong position to deliver on our promises and we look forward to working with Iurada as Provenance starts to take shape over the following year." 
Provenance Camberwell is situated amongst some of the neighbourhood’s best schools, including Camberwell Grammar School and CamberwellGirls Grammar School, an abundance of amenities, dining precincts, fashion boutiques, and is close to bustling Burke Road, Tooronga Village and maintains easy access to the Monash Freeway.

Provenance Camberwell marks Beulah’s seventh project to have commenced construction within recent years.

The Camberwell trophy home Ailu has been listed for sale.
The mid 1880s built home in the Tara Estate held the suburb record for four years, after selling under the hammer for $6.8 million in 2014.
It was topped in 2018 when a modern Christowel Street home sold for $9 million.
The landmark Italianate, slate roofed Victorian home had belonged to the Jolly family, who had owned it since the mid-1930s when it was known as Toowomba.
Ailu retains a number of its period features, including an iron lacework verandah and high ceilings with roses and ornate cornices.
There are six bedrooms and three bathrooms, a formal sitting room and a contemporary family room with conservatory.
French doors open from one side to an outdoor dining area and the solar heated pool, and the otherside to a leafy courtyard.
A staircase leads up the tower, past two bedrooms to an upper terrace with 360 degree views across the Melbourne skyline.
Marshall White Booroondara agents James Tostevin and Duane Wolowiec have a $7.6 million and $8.1 million guide.

A retail site on Burke Road in Camberwell has sold for $4,415,000.
The 205 sqm building at 769-771 Burke Road was purchased by a South Australian investor following a competitive auction that attracted six bidders.
The shop is located between the intersection of Burke, Riverside and Camberwell Roads and Camberwell train station, and adjacent to the Camberwell Place Shopping Centre.
It is currently leased to apparel retailer Lululemon Athletica.
CBRE’s Mark Wizel, Rorey James, Nick Hage and JJ Heng managed the campaign, with the property attracting a mix of domestic and international interest.
The purchase price translates to a building rate of $21,536 sqm, and follows the sales of 755 Burke Road for $5.05 million and 509-513 Riverside Road for $4.65 million.
Mr Wizel said, "we are expecting similar levels of demand and confidence in CBRE’s remaining retail opportunities in the build-up to Christmas."
“The current low interest rates and reduced supply of quality retail opportunities through the first half of 2019 has resulted in a flight to quality from investors seeking an alternative to declining term deposit rates,” he concluded

A prime commercial landholding in Camberwell has sold to a local buyer for $10,050,000 at auction.
The 1,965 sqm block at <a href="https://www.commercialrealestate.com.au/property/398-410-burke-road-camberwell-vic-3124-2015782263" target="_blank">398-410 Burke Road</a> comprises six adjoining retail and commercial freehold buildings in the South Camberwell Retail Village.
The Bakers Wife bakery, the restaurant Squires Loft, Kinban Building Consultants, Dealing in Design and Rod Lord Restorations are just some of the tenants.
Savills Australia agents Jesse Radisich, Nick Peden, and Benson Zhou secured the sale at a tight 1.65% yield and a land rate of $5,120 per sqm within one week following the close of expressions of interest. 
They had strong interest from offshore and local buyers.
Radisich said numerous international and local buyers were attracted to the site’s significant existing rental income, prime location, development potential, and the scarcity of the offering in terms of scale. 
“398-410 Burke Road lends itself to a host of possible outcomes,” Radisich said. 
“In a very positive sign of strength in the market, a cashed up local buyer was able to outbid strong off-shore and other local interest, with an incredibly short settlement period of just 23 days.” 
“The property is located in a Commercial 1 Zone, and the current owner was very deliberate in not putting in place any long-term leases at the property which would restrict short-term development potential. 
"This of course makes the site ideal for a prime mixed-use development in the near future.”  
Nick Peden said it is rare for a site of this scale to be offered to the market within a prime retail strip.
