Construction is now underway at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/cumulus-grand-villas-carrara-17-baltimore-court-carrara-qld-4211">Cumulus Grand Villas</a> in Carrara, with all stages fully funded as <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/venturecrowd-property-projects">VentureCrowd</a> progresses its 59-residence gated community on an elevated ridgeline overlooking 100 hectares of natural savanna.

The commencement marks a key milestone for the Gold Coast project, designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a> and being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/devcon">Devcon Property Group</a>, at a time when buyers are placing greater emphasis on delivery certainty and builder track record.

With Devcon active in South East Queensland since 1993 and having delivered more than 1,000 homes, the team is positioning Cumulus as a fully financed, under-construction offering in a market where risk mitigation has become a central consideration for off-the-plan purchasers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360496]

Located at 17 Baltimore Court, Cumulus Grand Villas comprises 59 three- and four-bedroom villas across four collections, Skyline, Canopy, Savanna and Broadview. Pricing starts from $1,455,000, with completion of the first stage targeted for Q4 2026.

Across the four collections, each design represents an expansive and thoughtfully considered offering. The Broadview provides additional flexibility within its floorplan, incorporating a multipurpose room or optional additional bedroom, and is priced from $1,895,000.&nbsp;

Configured across two levels, the four-bedroom villas feature two master bedrooms with private ensuites, as well as a multipurpose room (MPR), supporting intergenerational living, guest accommodation, or the creation of a dedicated retreat space.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360497]

The main living areas are positioned on the ground floor, while the bedrooms are located upstairs, a configuration that promotes both family separation and connected living. All villas include a second master suite on the ground floor, reinforcing the project’s focus on flexibility and long-term adaptability.

That adaptability was central to BDA Architecture’s design approach. The team sought to create a sophisticated, low-maintenance product that makes the most of the site’s elevation and outlook while responding to evolving household needs. Expansive glazing, open-plan interiors and private outdoor areas draw in natural light and frame views towards the savanna, hinterland and Broadbeach skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360470]

VentureCrowd Director of Property David Whitting said the project responds to a growing group of buyers reassessing what premium living on the Gold Coast looks like.

Flexible floorplans have proven particularly relevant for purchasers aged between 40 and 65, including next home buyers, downsizers and investors. The inclusion of dual master suites in the Broadview design, along with options for a downstairs MPR or guest bedroom, allows homes to adapt as family dynamics shift, whether accommodating older parents, adult children, or extended stays.

Across the community, villas are specified with European appliances and premium fixtures and fittings, alongside double garages and landscaped private areas. The gated enclave includes number plate recognition entry, reinforcing a focus on security and exclusivity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360474]

Lifestyle amenity is anchored by the Infinity Terrace, an elevated communal space incorporating a 20m heated pool, alfresco zones and barbecue facilities, designed as a shared retreat within the neighbourhood. A two-acre private nature reserve with walking trails and rehabilitated bushland further integrates the development with its savanna-edge setting, reflecting a broader masterplan initiative to restore native vegetation and habitat corridors.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/carrara-qld-4211">Carrara</a>’s positioning continues to attract attention from prestige buyers seeking proximity to the coast without beachfront pricing. The suburb offers access to major retail centres including Pacific Fair and Robina Town Centre, is around 15 minutes from Broadbeach, and benefits from connectivity via the M1 to Brisbane and the Gold Coast Airport.

VentureCrowd’s Cumulus Grand Villas in Carrara advances with construction underway

Joint venture partners <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/perifa">PERIFA</a> are officially launching the third and final residential stage at their landmark $350 million harbourfront precinct, Putney Wharf, with The Residences representing the final opportunity to secure a new home within this rare waterfront destination.

Strong demand has already been established across the earlier stages of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-residences-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf</a>, with more than 50 per cent sold ahead of this final release. The Residences will introduce a selection of the precinct’s most premium apartments, many of which were deliberately reserved for this concluding stage.

Located at 20 Waterview Street, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/putney-nsw-2112">Putney</a> NSW, the completed precinct will comprise 67 residences, including 18 terraces and 49 apartments, alongside five retail tenancies and a 36-berth marina.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=1338]

Developed alongside partners Phoenix Property Investors and Mitsubishi Estate Asia, Putney Wharf occupies a prized 300-metre stretch of absolute waterfront and incorporates the historic former Halvorsen’s Boatshed. The precinct connects directly to surrounding parklands via a landscaped foreshore walkway and a large, landscaped podium linking both sides of the development to the adjoining foreshore parklands.

The Residences comprise two newly built, three-storey apartment buildings delivering a boutique collection of 30 generously proportioned waterfront apartments. Designed to capture harbour outlooks, natural light and cooling breezes, The Residences balance architectural refinement with relaxed, low-maintenance living.

Architecturally designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, the apartments continue the cohesive design language seen across the broader precinct. A refined palette of light and dark materials, softer-toned stone and neutral, earthy finishes reflect the surrounding landscape and harbour setting. Interiors feature painted timber veneers, tactile joinery, timber flooring to living spaces and 100 per cent natural wool carpets in bedrooms, creating warm and sophisticated homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362525]

Justin Brown, Executive Chairman and Founder of Abadeen, said the release of the final residential stage marks an important milestone for the project.

“Putney Wharf brings together everything we’ve learned over more than 25 years of development,” Mr Brown said. “It respects the site’s extraordinary maritime history while delivering contemporary homes that connect people directly to the harbour.

The Residences offer the rare combination of low-maintenance apartment living, waterfront outlooks with beautiful sunset views, and the convenience of retail and amenity at your doorstep. For boating enthusiasts, the opportunity to secure a private marina berth completes a truly unique Sydney harbourfront lifestyle.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=291197]

PERIFA Managing Director and Co-Founder Fabrizio Perilli added that the diversity of housing across the precinct has been central to the project’s success.

“Whether it’s the heritage Halvorsen’s apartments, the Waterview Terraces or now The Residences, Putney Wharf offers a range of homes that respond to different lifestyles, all united by an unrivalled harbourfront setting,” Perilli said. “This is a precinct that will add lasting value to the Putney community.”

Managing project marketing and sales, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/srm-residential">SRM Residential</a> Partner Tim Rees said the final release has already attracted strong demand reflecting the project’s unique harbourfront position and the success of earlier stages.

“Following the strong response to both the Halvorsen’s Boatshed residences and the Waterview Terraces, The Residences represent the final chance to secure a new home within this tightly held waterfront precinct,” Rees said. “Buyers are drawn to the rare combination of absolute harbour frontage, parkside living and genuine architectural quality.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362240]

Putney Wharf is a one-of-a-kind mixed-use destination, delivering an exclusive residential offering alongside waterfront dining, retail and a 36-berth marina designed to the latest Australian Standards, accommodating vessels up to 18 metres and helping address Sydney Harbour’s ongoing marina shortage.

The precinct will include five retail tenancies and a prominent waterfront jetty area fronting the retail village, creating an activated harbourfront destination for residents and visitors alike.

Residents will enjoy direct access to lush harbourfront parklands, a public foreshore walkway and landscaped podium gardens connecting the development to the surrounding waterfront reserve. Construction across the Putney Wharf precinct is expected to be completed by Q2 2027.

Sales of The Residences officially launch this weekend, with the display suite open Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 12pm at Putney Wharf. Visitors are invited to enjoy a complimentary coffee while touring The Residences and experiencing the Putney Wharf lifestyle firsthand.

Final Harbourfront release in Putney Wharf launches this weekend

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/draycon">Draycon Building</a> is nearing completion of Boutique Chevron Island, a 42-apartment development on the northern end of Chevron Island at 17–19 Parneno Street, with a limited-time offer of fully furnished apartments available.

Now more than 90 per cent complete, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/boutique-chevron-island-17-19-parneno-chevron-island-qld-4217">Boutique</a> has been shaped by one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held island addresses, where riverfront outlooks and walkable access to Surfers Paradise converge.

For Draycon Building Managing Director Howard Dabit, the appeal of the site was immediate.

“I knew it was a good site as soon as I saw it,” Dabit said.

“The position and location on the north end of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>, the way the river swirls around the site basically from the north to the east, it feels like the site is surrounded by the water. The height that we’ve got and the aspect looking north is beautiful. Eighty per cent of the apartments are looking north so they get that drenching sunlight coming in.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360922]

That northern orientation places the development within a stretch of Chevron Island defined by open river aspects and skyline views, while remaining embedded in the suburb’s established village setting.

Chevron Island has increasingly drawn owner-occupiers seeking centrality without the intensity of high-rise beachfront living. Positioned at the geographical centre of the Gold Coast, the island offers direct access to both the beach and key cultural infrastructure while retaining a neighbourhood-scale character.

Connected by bridge to Surfers Paradise, Chevron Island offers walkable access to beaches, riverfront parklands and a revitalised foreshore boulevard animated by walkers and cyclists throughout the day. The Pacific Ocean is only minutes away, reinforcing the suburb’s dual river-and-surf identity.

At the same time, Thomas Drive forms the spine of the island’s village life, delivering cafés, wine bars, casual dining and everyday services within easy reach. Independent grocers, wellness operators and neighbourhood retailers contribute to a community atmosphere that remains distinct from the vertical scale of the beachfront.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360915]

In the opposite direction, the Green Bridge links directly to HOTA – Home of the Arts – placing galleries, performance venues and parklands within walking distance. Weekly markets and major exhibitions draw visitors from across the region, while residents return to a quieter residential pocket at day’s end.

Public transport, including nearby bus routes and the G:link light rail corridor along the coastal spine, strengthens connectivity north and south. Griffith University, the Gold Coast University Hospital precinct and established private schools such as The Southport School are all within a short drive.

Ongoing investment across Surfers Paradise, HOTA and the broader Southport corridor has elevated amenity while preserving Chevron Island’s comparatively low-rise residential character. It is this balance, walkable village atmosphere paired with metropolitan-scale infrastructure, that continues to differentiate the suburb from higher-density beachfront precincts.

Boutique comprises just 42 residences, designed to maximise river and skyline outlooks within this tightly held island setting.

Boutique Chevron Island is slated for completion in April 2026, with prices starting from $1,220,000.

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> has secured planning approval for a $300 million residential development in Lindfield, marking the company’s second project on Sydney’s North Shore and its first on the Upper North Shore.

Located on Beaconsfield Parade and designed by DKO Architecture, the state significant development comprises three buildings of up to 10 storeys and will include 399 residences, including 59 affordable homes and 40 adaptable homes.

Residences will range in size from one, two and three bedrooms, with two-bedroom apartments accounting for over 60 per cent of the product make-up. Residents will have access to a broad suite of amenities, including a wellness area, indoor and outdoor recreational spaces, a pool, a gym, a community room and a golf simulator.

In line with Deicorp’s long-standing focus on creating transit-oriented communities, the project is located just 260 metres from the Lindfield Train Station, reinforcing its role in delivering well-connected housing close to established infrastructure, retail and local services.

The inclusion of affordable and adaptable housing supports greater diversity within the local market, while the mix of apartment types responds to demand from downsizers, young professionals and families seeking access to the Upper North Shore.

Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri OAM said the approval represents an important milestone for both the company and the suburb

“This approval allows us to deliver well-designed homes in a location that is already supported by strong transport and community infrastructure," Deiri said.

"Our focus is on creating places that integrate into their surroundings and provide long-term value for residents, and the broader Lindfield community. Being within walking distance of the station ensures this project supports sustainable growth in the right locations."

Across its portfolio, Deicorp currently has 4,703 apartments under construction, playing a leading role in shaping connected, liveable communities across Sydney.

Its expanding portfolio of Metro-linked developments includes Tallawong Village, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-five-dock-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> in Five Dock, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hyde-metropolitan-sydney-133-141-liverpool-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Hyde Metropolitan</a> in Sydney CBD, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/falcon-alexander-crows-nest-8-alexander-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Falcon &amp; Alexander</a> in Crows Nest and Showground Village, Castle Hill.

Deicorp purchased the Beaconsfield Paradise site last year. Construction is scheduled to commence in Q2 of 2026 and will be completed in 2029.

Cbus Property to complete 443 Queen Street, Brisbane, this year

Cbus Property has announced the practical completion of its 17 Spring St residential development on the fringe of the Melbourne CBD.

Architecturally designed by Bates Smart and constructed by Hacer Group, the $300 million development occupies a 1,270 sqm site at the east end of Spring Street, formerly occupied by the Mercure Melbourne Treasury Gardens.

The 33-level tower comprises&nbsp;73 two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a handful of half and whole-floor apartments each with views overlooking the Treasury and Fitzroy Gardens.

Cbus Property’s Chief Executive Officer, Adrian Pozzo, said that 17 Spring St had set a coveted new benchmark for premium residential apartment developments in Melbourne.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8666 project_image_fid=77385]

“Achieving practical completion on 17 Spring St marks the momentous conclusion of a journey that began when Cbus Property acquired the site six years ago, following the success of our pioneering 35 Spring St residential project, which sold out off the plan and was completed in 2017,” Pozzo said.

“The overwhelming success of 35 Spring St, another highly esteemed venture with Bates Smart, made it clear there was significant pent-up demand for Melbourne’s premium apartment market.

“17 Spring St has certainly been an equally illustrious journey, with a number of whole-floor amalgamations and new record sales results, as we continue to experience strong owner-occupier demand for premium residences and well-placed product.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8666 project_image_fid=77388]

Bates Smart Director, Cian Davis, said that 17 Spring St raised the benchmark that was 35 Spring St.

“We wanted to create a building where the interior and exterior is one fully integrated proposition, adding a timeless building design to the grandeur of Spring Street,” he said.

17 Spring St has become home to around 150 new residents who have access to a resident 25-metre pool and gymnasium on Level 2 and a private dining room, wine cellars and landscaped outdoor terrace on Level 3.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8666 project_image_fid=212780]

“In addition to Cbus Property’s proven track record as a developer and Bates Smart’s reputation for world-class architecture, the exclusive Spring Street location has enticed myriad buyers seeking a city lifestyle,” Pozzo added.

“At the ‘Paris end’ of the CBD, 17 Spring St has the very best of Melbourne on its doorstep, from the gardens and the sports precinct, to the theatres and the restaurants in the surrounding laneways – and all with the added bonus of convenient accessibility to getting in and out of town.

“Each residence has been designed to savour the magnificent panoramic outlook to the Treasury and Fitzroy Gardens and beyond, with living areas enjoying a strong sense of connection to the outdoors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8666 project_image_fid=77387]

“The gardens will never be built out so that view will always be there, providing residents with the priceless opportunity to explore one of the state's oldest heritage-listed public gardens at their doorstep – and in the middle of Melbourne's CBD, no less.”

Victoria’s Minister for Planning, The Hon. Sonya Kilkenny MP, officially opened 17 Spring St during a private event for project stakeholders and residents recently.

Hacer Group commenced site works in December 2019 following the demolition of the former Mercure Melbourne Treasury Gardens hotel.&nbsp;

Cbus Property are seeking a tenant to occupy or buy the 130 sqm ground floor retail space.

Cbus Property announce practical completion of Melbourne apartment tower 17 Spring St

Seven years after securing a development site in Brisbane's Spring Hill, national property developer Cbus Property has revealed it's plans for the site.

Cbus Property, who are set to complete their other Brisbane apartment tower 433 Queen Street next year, have proposed a 30-level tower at <a href="/news/qld/cbus-property-propose-sustainable-rothelowman-designed-brisbane-apartment-development">185 Wharf Street, Spring Hill</a>, one of Brisbane's most popular inner-city suburbs.

Rothelowman have designed the striking building which will have 125 apartments. They are targeting a 5 Star Green Star rating for the project, and a Nathers rating of 7.5 Stars. There are a number of sustainable features in the project, which will be 100 per cent electric. There will be EV charging, PV panels, and rainwater harvesting which will help create a more sustainable way of living.

Rothelowman noted in their submission to the Brisbane City Council that 185 Wharf Street embodies the&nbsp;empirical learnings from the rapid evolution of multiple dwelling architecture in SEQ and responds to the market demand from prospective residents for quality, sustainability and the integration of technology.

<img alt="Rothelowman Cbus Spring Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="459270f1-770d-438b-9759-f103a2363203" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-12-05%20at%209.30.17%20am.png?VersionId=jysmVJ6PhjQz2l7Wh4mIwBStRbpeVqCT" />

"It is proposed that an increasingly global awareness for the importance of environmental and social sustainability is closely aligned with the elevated expectations of people seeking quality higher density housing typologies in Australian urban centres," the report read.

"This enlightened longer-term focus is considered necessary to successfully respond to the increasing urbanisation of our cities and at the same time capture the opportunity to positively enhance urban living environments.

"The realisation of these core objectives will assist in promoting physical and mental wellness of individuals, create a meaningful sense of community and serve to leverage the utility of existing infrastructure to control the urban footprint."

Cbus Property are committed to the owner-occupier market, with not a single one-bed apartment on offer. They've pitched for 60 two-bedroom units, 45 three-bedroom apartments, and 20 four-bedders. There will be 233 resident parking spaces across the four basement levels of parking, and 32 bicycle spaces.&nbsp;

The apartments hav been designed to&nbsp;have a large balcony that is well connected to the living space.

"The tower has a front yard and backyard conceptual overlay which allows each unit to feel like a bespoke home," Rothelowman's report continued.

<img alt="Rothelowman Cbus Spring Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a356ac40-eaba-411c-9445-a9f1112bc4bd" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-12-05%20at%209.33.19%20am.png?VersionId=ufSv.aeNQz8tcmJx0yfZ4S1t0k6md4c9" />

"The balconies align up the tower as the mix changes to ensure architectural integrity is maintained."

There are a number of sky terraces which occupy the top of the southern tower form. They feature expansive backyards with trees and private pools.

The resident amenity will be located on the second level and is designed as a "natural Queensland escape". Dubbed "The Conservatory", residents will have access to a jungle gym, lap pool, kids play baths, magnesium baths, a sunbathing area, numerous alfresco areas, a gym with sauna, and a private dining room.

<img alt="Rothelowman Cbus Spring Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="87e6e42b-e7d9-4b7f-957f-1ff850c05828" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-12-05%20at%209.32.56%20am.png?VersionId=8y_efCWg.419TbnXuH5mXqYFU4KGyWVF" />

"The resident recreation amenity is considered an extension of the new subtropical Queensland apartment and offers prospective residents a sophisticated level of luxury only previously found in the single detached dwelling," Rothelowman added.

"185 Wharf Street will establish the Spring Hill Neighbourhood precinct as a re-imagined subtropical inner-city residential enclave at the doorstep of Australia’s New World City – Brisbane."

Cbus secured the 1,835 sqm site in 2015, paying $14.6 million for the block. At the time it had approval for 141 apartments across 15 levels.&nbsp;

Cbus Property propose sustainable, Rothelowman-designed Brisbane apartment development

National integrated property developer and investor, Cbus Property has announced the appointment of Hutchinson Builders on the next phase of works on its residential tower on the Brisbane CBD riverfront, 443 Queen St.

They&#39;ll be taking over from the collapsed builder Probuild, who were in the final stages of the construction process before their demise.

The announcement marks Cbus Property&rsquo;s third collaboration with Australia&rsquo;s largest privately owned builder, following appointments on the 205 North Quay commercial office tower in Brisbane, which is currently under construction, and The Langston Epping, a recently completed three-tower residential development in Sydney&rsquo;s north west.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6226 project_image_fid=37089]

Cbus Property&rsquo;s Chief Executive Officer, Adrian Pozzo, said the business was again &ldquo;proud to partner with Hutchies&rdquo;.

&ldquo;We are confident the appointment of Hutchinson Builders, one of Australia&rsquo;s most renowned and reliable builders, will deliver this iconic residential tower for Brisbane&rsquo;s city skyline to the highest possible standard,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;As communicated to our purchasers, since commencing preliminary works on site three weeks ago, Cbus Property, together with Hutchinson Builders, continues to finalise subcontractor negotiations and prepare a revised construction programme. Once finalised, we will provide an update to purchasers with a more definitive completion timeline.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6226 project_image_fid=37148]

Hutchinson Builders&rsquo; Director, Russell Fryer, confirmed that the contractor was already on site at 443 Queen St, with initial works underway.

&ldquo;We have a long and proud history delivering similar premium high-rise residential projects across Australia,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;We have a handpicked team that has recently completed a five-star hotel, The Langham Gold Coast, demonstrating our ability to achieve the high-quality outcomes expected for 443 Queen St, and we are working closely with Cbus Property, the consultants, subcontractors and suppliers to successfully complete this landmark building for Brisbane.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6226 project_image_fid=37091]

Pozzo said that despite the delays to construction, Cbus Property remained focused on ensuring the successful completion of 443 Queen St and delivering one of the highest-quality residential buildings to be developed in the area.

&ldquo;We continue to reassure purchasers that this unique residential development is nearing completion, and that we will deliver a landmark building with the utmost attention to detail and finish,&rdquo; he said.

Hutchinson Builders’ takeover of works from Probuild recommences the project’s final stages. 

Hutchinson's take over Probuild construction of Cbus Property's Brisbane apartment tower, 443 Queen St

The view from residential developers&nbsp;is that the apartment market in the Sydney CBD is more on trend and in demand than it has been in a number of years.

Adrian Pozzo, the chief executive at CBUS Property,&nbsp;says the&nbsp;CBD is set to evolve post the pandemic disruptions, with the nature of the developments being constructed and in planning dominated by mixed-use towers.

&quot;The mixed-use nature of the city has seen distinct precincts evolve, each with their own cluster of businesses and cultural, educational and entertainment precincts,&quot; Pozzo says.

At the heart of the CBD apartment pipeline is Castlereagh Street, the 1.6 kilometre long major strip which runs from Central Station toward the business precinct, stopping just shy of the harbour.

Developers have taken to the small pocket around Hyde Park, almost between St James and Museum Station.

There&#39;s a number of projects currently under construction, and a solid pipeline on the desks of the City of Sydney council.

The first project to be completed will be Castle Residences, the mixed-use hotel and apartment tower at 203 Castlereagh Street which is slated for completion in December.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7758 project_image_fid=79424]

The first Australian project by Shanghai United, Castle Residences have been built above the heritage Porter House, which is being retained as a luxury lobby entry.

There are 131 apartments and around 122 hotel rooms, with the hotel to be operated by AccorHotels.&nbsp;Residents at Castle Residences will get all of the perks of being a hotel guest, such as a the 24 hour concierge, room service, housekeeping and even valet parking.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7758 project_image_fid=150450]

Up the street and currently under construction is Cbus Property&#39;s&nbsp;111 Castlereagh Street, set to be a landmark in the CBD for years to come.

The striking tower, designed by fjmt studio and built atop the former&nbsp;David Jones&nbsp;department store which was originally built in 1938,&nbsp;has 101 apartments, most with views over Hyde Park.&nbsp;

Part of the development will see the David Jones component converted in to 11,500 sqm of office space, as well as a 6,200 sqm extension of Westfield.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94354 project_image_fid=170431]

Colliers Residential Managing Director Peter Chittenden, who has been handling the sales at 111 Castlereagh Street,&nbsp;says the apartments have been designed with ample space and connection to the outdoors, which are now top priorities for Australians.

&quot;There has been strong buyer interest very much around the quality of the development and construction team, the iconic architectural building and the central CBD location&rsquo;s liveability with shopping and dining along with the expansive views spanning across Hyde Park and beyond to Sydney harbour,&quot; Chittenden says.

&quot;The prominent buyer demographic has been local Sydneysiders from the Eastern Suburbs and Lower North Shore, looking for a primary residence along with interest from regional NSW where buyers are looking for a city base&nbsp;for when they are visiting and doing business in Sydney.&quot;

Apartment residents will have access to a rooftop with a pool, gym and gardens. Construction is underway, with completion expected in Q3 2023.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94354 project_image_fid=170426]

Across the road from 111 Castlereagh Street is set to be another impressive mixed-use development.

Last year the alternative asset manager Fife Capital, led by Allan Fife, submitted plans for a 17-level tower to&nbsp;sit alongside a heritage-conscious redevelopment of the George Bosch Chambers and St James Hotel&nbsp;building that has stood since the 1920s.

The development of two lots,&nbsp;114-120 Castlereagh Street and 139 Elizabeth Street, will see just 26 apartments built, only starting from level 10, with the rest of the building being commercial. There will be&nbsp;a mix of one, two and three-bedroom units and a two-level, four-bedroom penthouse on levels 15 and 16.

The majority of the units will face the park, with some facing Castlereagh Street and the lower levels facing Elizabeth Street and will contain wintergreens.

A landscaped communal open space has been designed above the commercial building at level 10.&nbsp;The roof terrace provides communal facilities including BBQ area, outdoor dining and recreation areas.

And the most recent lodgement comes from Central Element, who are seeking to build a $100 million tower on the fringe of Hyde Park where the 16-storey Hyde Park Inn hotel currently sits.

<img alt="" height="373" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/central_elementh_hyde_park.png" width="662" />

It&#39;s another amalgamation of sites on Castlereagh Street and Elizabeth Street, the latter which runs parallel to Hyde Park.

They&#39;ll be amalgamated&nbsp;two lots at 262-266 Castlereagh Street and 271-279 Elizabeth Street, planning for three retail tenancies on the upper and lower ground floors, with 53 apartments above.

The subject sites are currently occupied by a vacant four-storey commercial building as well as the&nbsp;16-storey Hyde Park Inn hotel.

At the heart of the CBD apartment pipeline is Castlereagh Street, the 1.6 kilometre long major strip which runs from Central Station toward the business precinct, stopping just shy of the harbour.

What Sydney's Castlereagh Street will look like in five years

Cbus Property is set to launch its final release in its popular north-western Sydney apartment development, The Langston in Epping.

The third and final apartment tower, dubbed Oasis, will rise 18 levels and sit along side Langston Tower and Central. Langston is all-but sold out, while Central is 70 per cent sold.

Oasis will home 92 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with a distinctive design by Architectus seeing some floors have just four apartments.

Hutchinson Builders, who have built all three towers in the precinct,&nbsp;will be&nbsp;allowing prospective buyers to walk through a completed apartment in Oasis for the launch day November 6, inspect the finishes and furnishing the apartments will have when completed in early 2022.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109224 project_image_fid=181292]

Cbus Property chief executive Adrian Pozzo said offering a completed apartment&nbsp;gives purchasers another level of confidence that what they buy will be delivered in the same way.

“This is especially important for purchasers seeking reassurance as they return to in-person property searches in the wake of Sydney’s pandemic-related lockdowns,” Pozzo said.

“At the same time, I know our project and sales teams are eager to share the results of their&nbsp;hard work throughout the past three years.”

Pozzo believes Oasis will appeal to a wide range of purchasers eager to secure a place in Epping’s premier development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109224 project_image_fid=181294]

“Even through Sydney’s recent lockdowns, The Langston has continued to sell well, with our first stage, Langston Tower, now almost sold out, and our second stage, Central, nearly 70 per cent sold,” Pozzo said.

“Now, with the release of Oasis, we are expecting interest from young professionals and families, as well as downsizers, in what will be the last chance to secure a place in Epping’s landmark project.

“With its prime location just 100 metres from Epping station, an amazing lifestyle precinct on the doorstep, and countless amenities on site, Oasis combines all the factors modern residential apartment purchasers are seeking.”

Pozzo said what's become evident in the last few years is that in the residential high&nbsp;and medium density sectors,&nbsp;homebuyers are looking for an increased level of space and amenity in and around their homes, reducing the need to venture too far from home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109224 project_image_fid=181293]

Oasis residents will have direct access to all of The Langston’s luxurious amenity, including the Sky Lounge &amp;&nbsp;Dining space, on level 22 of The Langston’s middle tower, Central, as well as lush podium-level gardens, the Pool Deck, Wellness Hub, gym and co-working space.

Oasis is The Langston’s closest offering to Epping Station and is quietly set back in a peaceful pocket of Chambers Court, away from Epping Road.

The Langston precinct features a landscaped 2,750 sqm public plaza adjoining a 2,100 sqm mixed-use retail precinct, including a supermarket, cafés, restaurants, and a number of other retail tenancies.

Cbus Property have reported the sale of three luxury apartments worth $66 million in the 111 Castlereagh St development.

The buyers came from the eastern suburbs and lower north shore.

The biggest sale was a 460sq m double-storey penthouse that fetched about $35 million.

It is called the Jones Residence,&nbsp;named after Sir Charles Lloyd Jones who led the success of the David Jones expansion on which the property sits.

The residence boasts 360‑degree views across the city and towards the Blue Mountains, capturing Hyde Park, Sydney Harbour, the Eastern Suburbs and beyond.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94354 project_image_fid=170432]

The two smaller sub penthouses in the 101-unit project sold for about $15.5 million each.

The sales marked "a resurgence in the return of Sydney city living and the ongoing appetite for high-end, primely located residential property, despite the challenges of the current COVID-19 climate,” Cbus Property CEO Adrian Pozzo said.

Selling agent Colliers Residential managing director Peter Chittenden said the four-bedroom penthouse occupies part of level 33 and the entire 34th level and includes two kitchens, living areas, a wine cellar and a butler’s pantry.

Cbus has two four-bedroom sky homes and a selection of expansive one, two and three-bedroom residences still for sale in the project set to be finished by the end of 2023.

$35 million penthouse sale secured in 111 Castlereagh by Cbus

The Melbourne off the plan prestige market is continuing to see heightened demand.

Two whole-floor apartments in&nbsp;Cbus Property&#39;s exclusive 17 Spring Street residential tower&nbsp;have just sold&nbsp;for a combined total of $25 million, within two weeks of each other.

The Garden Residence, spanning the whole of level 10 with a private 280 sqm plus terrace with landscaping by Paul Bangay, sold even before its marketing campaign.

Following The Garden Residence sale, another whole-floor apartment on the 31st level sold. There&#39;s now just one whole-floor apartment remaining in the whole 73 apartment building.

Adrian Pozzo, chief executive of Cbus Property,&nbsp;said the sales showed that overwhelming confidence in the market remained for well-placed product, despite the challenges generated by the COVID-19 pandemic throughout the past 18 months.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8666 project_image_fid=77387]

&ldquo;Cbus Property continues to experience strong owner-occupier demand for premium residences in prime locations and our purchasers see immense value in buying at the top end of Melbourne&rsquo;s CBD,&rdquo; Pozzo said.

The $300 million 17 Spring St, architecturally designed by Bates Smart at the end of Spring Street, is set to be built on the 1,270 sqm site that was formally&nbsp;occupied by the Mercure Melbourne Treasury Gardens.

It comprises 73 two- and three-bedroom, and half- and whole-floor residences, each with views overlooking the Treasury and Fitzroy Gardens.

Construction is anticipated for completion in late 2022.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8666 project_image_fid=77388]

It&#39;s Cbus Property&#39;s second success on Spring Street, having sold out their 35 Spring Street well before its 2017 completion.

Colliers International&nbsp;brokered the whole-floor sales, with their director of residential Brett Griffith&nbsp;saying that despite the challenges brought about by COVID-19 throughout the past 18 months, they cannot keep up with the demand from buyers seeking premium residences in Melbourne CBD&rsquo;s premier streets, such as Spring Street.

&ldquo;Quality apartments from quality developers are extraordinarily resilient in all markets; they very rarely shift or drop in price,&rdquo; Griffith said.
