Brisbane-based <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/red-co">Red &amp; Co Developments</a> has officially launched its $250million COMO apartment development in Varsity Lakes, while simultaneously commencing construction.&nbsp;

When completed, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/como-varsity-lakes-22-lake-street-varsity-lakes-qld-4227">COMO</a> will comprise 156 apartments across 16 levels located in the heart of Varsity Lakes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363515]

The project, which will sit alongside Bond University, will deliver a diverse array of apartment designs comprising one-, two- and three-bedroom residences that have already attracted interest from local and interstate investors as well as an array of owner occupiers looking to gain a foothold in the precinct.

Red &amp; Co, which has largely focused on the Brisbane market in recent years where it has delivered more than 500 apartments and townhouses across 26 projects, has designed COMO to combine tranquil, lakeside living with the vibrant urban convenience of the vibrant Varsity Lakes village.

“We’re thrilled to announce a start to construction of COMO in conjunction with the official launch of the project, our first for the Gold Coast,” said Red &amp; Co Director and Co-Founder David Laverty.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363509]

“COMO is superbly positioned to capture the essence of the Varsity Lakes village lifestyle and its thriving café and dining precinct, while delivering a much-needed diverse supply of premium residences for the local market.

“Pre-launch inquiries have been strong among both local and interstate investors and owner-occupiers, including downsizers and upgraders who appreciate the value proposition that COMO represents.”

Prices at COMO start from $1,000,050.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363511]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, the COMO development incorporates an extensive range of amenities for residents including a 25-metre rooftop lap pool, sundeck, barbecue and dining areas, as well as multiple rooftop pickleball and paddleball courts, a wellness and activity centre, gym, sauna, plunge baths and landscaped gardens.

“COMO presents a rare opportunity to secure a stylish, lifestyle-focused home in one of the Gold Coast’s most sought-after neighbourhoods,” added Laverty.

“The rooftop will be the epicentre of fun for residents with an array of amenities for residents that are quite unique for a boutique project such as this, all while offering spectacular vistas across the Gold Coast as far north as Southport and south to Burleigh.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363514]

&nbsp;

Red &amp; Co has chosen the Varsity Lakes site for its proximity to top-tier schools, major shopping hubs, such as Robina Town Centre and its CBD offering, as well as key Gold Coast transport links, including Varsity Lakes Train Station.

COMO will be located just a short walk to shops, cafes and restaurants in Varsity Lakes and just a 10-minute drive to the Burleigh Heads beachfront.

Red & Co to launch debut Gold Coast development Como Varsity Lakes as construction commences

Longstanding Gold Coast developer Raptis has acquired a prime development site on Surf Parade for its next Broadbeach apartment project.

Progressing towards completion of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-sterling-broadbeach-6-8-george-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Sterling Broadbeach</a>, 90 apartments on nearby George Avenue, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/raptis">Raptis</a>, led by second-generation family man Evan Raptis, has picked up a block on the corner of Surf Parade and First Avenue.

The site had been earmarked for a luxury apartment project with 33 full-floor apartments across a 37-storey tower. Raptis will go back to the drawing board and create a building more appropriate for the site. The development application will be lodged later this month.

Evan Raptis told Apartments.com.au the site ticks all the boxes.

"Broadbeach is a suburb we've developed several buildings over the years. Surf Parade ticks all the boxes for the type of apartment development we want to deliver."

Raptis had several pre-lodgement meetings with council to ensure they are aligned in the development.

<img alt="Raptis" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f0d58573-07a4-47a8-9f5e-fbf35fb03dc3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-03-05%20at%204.58.23%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=iczZEd_4_o4UL0PHMPJGfy_q3tv96J5i" />

Surf Parade has emerged in recent years as one of the most popular streets in Broadbeach for development.

South East Queensland developer Mosaic Property Group kicked it off with Marella by Mosaic. Bassar Group sold out Infinity on the street, while for its&nbsp;first Gold Coast development, Polycell grabbed a Surf Parade site for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-rochester-broadbeach-143-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Rochester</a>, which is nearly sold out.

Melbourne-based developer Hirsch &amp; Faigen recently launched its fourth Gold Coast project on the exclusive strip. The Eveleigh Broadbeach will have 100 apartments across a 31-storey building designed by Rothelowman.

GV Property Group site development specialists Antonio Mercuri and Luke Reaby, who both amalgamate sites and sell shovel-ready sites to developers up and down the Gold Coast, sold Surf Parade to Raptis.

Raptis secures prime Surf Parade site for next Broadbeach apartment development

Less than two years after breaking ground, Gardner Vaughan Group is celebrating the topping out of Bask, its second development in the exclusive coastal enclave of Bokarina on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.&nbsp;

Located only minutes from the beachfront, the two seven-storey luxury apartment towers, known individually as Mydas and Caretta, offer a selection of one-to-four-bedroom residences with views of Lake Kawana, the Glasshouse Mountains, and Bokarina Beach.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333359]

Gardner Vaughan Group Commercial Director Sam Gardner said the milestone marks the home stretch for construction, with first residents expected to be able to move in from Spring 2026.&nbsp;

“This is a significant milestone in bringing this development to life and represents our confidence in this region’s long-term growth and appeal,” Gardner said.&nbsp;

“With 85 per cent of apartments already sold, buyers are joining an established, coastal village that offers the very best of the Sunshine Coast – seasonally patrolled surf beaches, renowned restaurants, and links to established health and retail.&nbsp;

“The final collection of three- and four- bedroom apartments range in size from 127sqm to 300sqm, each with two or three secure car parks and storage, and with construction fast approaching completion we don’t expect the last few apartments to remain on the market for long.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333362]

Local restaurateur Luke Stringer, who co-owns and manages the award-winning Bocca Italian and Playa Mexican restaurants in Bokarina, has lived in the beachside suburb for 18 months and worked there for more than three years, and said the beachside suburb was thriving.&nbsp;

“It’s fair to say Bokarina is finally stepping into the sun and there’s a lot to love about the place,"&nbsp;Stringer said.

"It’s such a great community, where you see the same smiling faces every morning and everything’s within easy reach – it’s the perfect hub in the middle of the Sunshine Coast.

“When we first opened Bocca Italian, we were the lone restaurant, but it’s been amazing to see how the area has grown. The more venues that open, the busier it gets for everyone. When Playa Mexican opened its first Saturday night, Bocca had a record night and Playa was packed too, which blew us away how everyone is thriving.&nbsp;

“There’s a great energy around the place now, and people are really embracing Bokarina as a food and lifestyle destination.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=363368]

Stringer joined other buyers at Bask Bokarina and the Gardner Vaughan Group team to celebrate the topping out at a special event in February.&nbsp;

Located in Kawana Waters, midway between Caloundra and Maroochydore, Bokarina locals enjoy scenic walking paths around Lake Kawana, playgrounds, beachfront boardwalk and parklands, alongside all the convenience of a masterplanned beachside community.&nbsp;

“You see people jogging or swimming in the morning, then grabbing coffee at the cafes, people are really embracing the area and all this growth is bringing more people to Bokarina,” Stringer added.&nbsp;

To take advantage of the vistas, each of the 135 apartments at Bask is designed with full size windows and high ceilings that provide an abundance of natural light.&nbsp;

Prices for the remaining three-bedroom apartments start at $1,599,000 and four-bedroom apartments start at $3,149,000.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=363369]

The mixed-use development also features ground-level retail space for cafés, dining options and boutiques, including the soon-to-be-opened ‘Corner Shop’, by the team behind Noosa’s well known ‘Organika’.

Sam Gardner said Gardner Vaughan Group’s 37-year history building and developing across South East Queensland has contributed to the success of its second development in Bokarina, which follows the recently completed Zinc Apartments.&nbsp;

“We care how people live and this is reflected in the way we approach the design and delivery of every development,” he said. “Furthermore, as a builder-developer we have full control over the construction program and our 100 per cent completion rate is something people can draw confidence from.”&nbsp;

Founded by civil engineers Guy Gardner and Darryl Vaughan in 1989, the family-owned business has evolved from a consultancy firm to an award-winning builder-developer, with projects across the Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Gardner Vaughan Group tops out Bask Bokarina apartments

Prolific Melbourne developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> has launched its fourth new Gold Coast development in as many years.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a>, led by Daniel Faigen and backed by Eddie Hirsch, co-founder of United Petroleum, has unveiled The Eveleigh, on a prime 1,100 sqm site at 7-9 Surf Parade in the heart of Broadbeach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a> will deliver 100 apartments across 31 levels, making it the company’s largest Gold Coast project to date. It builds on the success of its three earlier developments, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/hemingway-1267-1273-gold-coast-highway-palm-beach">The Hemingway in Palm Beach</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/emerson-kirra-100-musgrave-street-coolangatta">The Emerson at Kirra</a>, both completed, and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/yves-mermaid-beach-7-9-mermaid-avenue-mermaid-beach">Yves Mermaid Beach</a>, which is nearing completion.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

The announcement of The Eveleigh affirms the company’s sustained confidence in the Gold Coast market which continues to remain undersupplied. It also increases the value of Hirsch &amp; Fa​igen’s Gold Coast development portfolio to more than $700 million since the company first entered the market in 2021 with Hemingway.

The company has enlisted its preferred architecture firm Rothelowman to design The Eveleigh, which will offer a thoughtfully curated lifestyle, including a substantial wellness precinct, communal recreation areas, children’s play spaces, work-from-home facilities, and shared lounge and dining areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

Designed for the prime market demographic of downsizers and interstate lifestyle investors in mind, The Eveleigh has been crafted to offer an increasingly rare blend of affordable luxury in a tightly held market. Uniquely positioned in the heart of the Gold Coast’s most sought-after lifestyle suburb of Broadbeach, the project will also boast uninterrupted beach and hinterland views.

The Surf Parade site is just a short walk to the bustling Broadbeach dining and retail precinct, Pacific Fair, The Star Gold Coast and convention centre, and an easy stroll to Kurrawa Beach and the recreational amenity of Pratten Park on the Broadbeach foreshore.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360975]

“We’re excited to be proceeding with our fourth project on the Gold Coast in what is certain to become the new luxury precinct in Broadbeach,” says Anthony Bueti, the CFO of Hirsch &amp;a​mp; Faigen and a shareholder of the group.

“With the likes of Mosa​ic and Abedian &amp;a​mp; Co also launching quality projects in the area, the transformation will cement Broadbeach as the premier lifestyle and amenity suburb on the Gold Coast.

"After four years in the Gold Coast market, and with three successful projects completed, The Eveleigh is the product of everything we have learned to love about the Gold Coast and it will be an incredible addition to our growing portfolio in one of the most vibrant property markets in the country. We continue to remain very confident in the high-end Gold Coast property market.”

Urban Activation Director Matt George is handling sales for The Eveleigh, having sold out The Emerson, The Hemingway, and Yves, all before construction was completed.

Melbourne builder MAXCON has already commenced construction on The Eveleigh. They are forecasting a mid-2028 completion.

Two years after securing development approval for the final stage of its award-winning Thornton Precinct on the doorstep of Penrith Station, Urban Property Group is set to launch <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/mayfair-on-penrith-172-lord-sheffield-circuit-penrith-nsw-2750">Mayfair on Penrith</a>, around 400 apartments designed to reflect two of Sydney’s most iconic structures.

The builder-developer has continued refining the design plans for the two-building development on a significant 8,280 sqm site on Sheffield Circuit, recognising the importance of the prime parcel as one of the closest developable sites to the station.

UPG enlisted architecture firm SJB to design the project. The team said they drew inspiration from both the General Post Office in Martin Place and East Circular Quay to help shape the design. The two-level colonnade, in particular, reflects the famous GPO building, which dates back to the 1860s.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136726 project_image_fid=362014]

There will be one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments on offer, with interiors by Cox Architecture. Residences will sit above a retail podium featuring hospitality and lifestyle operators such as One Playground and Volcano’s Steakhouse, contributing to an activated ground plane within the broader Thornton precinct.

A communal rooftop with a pool and views towards the Blue Mountains will provide shared open space for residents. The development is positioned between Ron Mulock Oval and Westfield Penrith, with the Nepean River and Great River Walk also nearby, placing daily amenity and green space within walking distance.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136726 project_image_fid=362015]

Mayfair is being delivered by Urban Property Group, a family-owned developer and builder with nearly 40 years’ experience across Sydney. The project will be the first in Penrith to be offered with Resilience Insurance’s 10-year Latent Defects Insurance (LDI) policy, which Urban Property Group has adopted across a number of its recent developments. The developer also has a 4.5-star iCIRT rating, one of the best ratings in market providing further confidence to buyers.

Urban Property Group CEO Patrick Elias said providing additional assurance to off-the-plan buyers has become increasingly important.

“Anything we can do to give confidence in our product is a plus,” Elias told Apartments.com.au.

“Consumers are a lot more weary and a lot more concerned in buying off the plan than they ever have been. They’re making their single large investment, which is their home, and providing confidence is something that we feel is paramount.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136726 project_image_fid=362020]

The LDI policy provides a 10-year warranty covering structural defects, with independent inspections carried out during construction and protection for owners if defects arise post-completion.

Mayfair represents Urban Property Group’s sixth and final development within Thornton, consolidating the masterplanned precinct immediately east of the station.

The developer, which builds its own projects, has already commenced construction. SRM Residential is handling the sales campaign.

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.

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.

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.

Construction set to begin on Camberwell's Victoria & Burke luxury apartment 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.

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.
