Repeat buyers are one of the strongest measures of confidence in any apartment development.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/era-newcastle-west-124-126-bull-street-newcastle-west-nsw-2302">ERA</a> in Newcastle West, some purchasers are returning to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gwh">GWH</a> after living at the developer's One Apartments. Their decision to purchase again was driven by the quality of life they found after moving into their first GWH home.

Keith Wilton had spent years living in a house in East Maitland before deciding it was time for a change. Apartment living had always been on his radar, but he was selective about what he wanted.

"I had some boxes I wanted to tick," he says.

Keith points to the open-plan design, generous outdoor areas and considered inclusions as key reasons One Apartments worked for him.

“One of those things was a nice indoor open plan area, but also I wanted a nice outdoor open area that I could entertain on in summer or Christmases or birthdays,” he says.

He also found value in the smaller details, from integrated appliances to shared resident spaces including the pool, cinema and rooftop areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356818]

After comparing several developments, he chose One Apartments because of GWH's longstanding local reputation and his own experience working with the developer on a commercial project more than a decade earlier.

"I knew that they were local, that the quality of the build was going to be up there. I'd looked at other apartment complexes around and close by, and I just knew that here was a better decision location wise."

Today, Keith says the move has completely changed how he experiences Newcastle.

"I enjoy living in this location because it's more of a lifestyle change. That Newcastle city living where you can walk to restaurants and bars and even beaches and parks and even shopping across the road."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356828]

Beyond the location, he says it's the sense of community that has surprised him most.

"Everyone loves living here because they chose to live here, but everyone looks out for each other. It's a real great community feel here."

For Aimee and Lyle Goodman, the journey started almost by chance.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tsioMLcnjas?si=zq-ys3JuWpfa5hFv" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

The couple happened to be having coffee in Newcastle when they noticed the site where One Apartments was about to begin construction.

"We were aware GWH was planning a development," Aimee says. "We made one phone call and things moved pretty quickly after that."

As busy business owners, they initially thought apartment living would simply reduce the maintenance that came with larger homes. Instead, it fundamentally changed how they spent time together.

"We actually catch up more as a family now," Aimee says.

"We've had homes with big yards and lots of space, but everyone ended up in different rooms. Here we'll have dinner together, the kids can play, and we spend far more quality time together."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356829]

Lyle says their confidence came from GWH's reputation within Newcastle's building industry.

"I know people who've worked across different apartment projects, and whenever GWH came up the feedback was always the same. They're rock solid. They're quality."

That confidence only grew throughout the buying process.

"One of the things that really impressed us with GWH was the whole process, was the communication," Lyle says. "It was consistent, it was regular, there was no problem if we had some weird questions, there was no problems in getting answers."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=351104]

Aimee says one moment stood out.

"The project actually finished on time. We realised we needed to hurry up and sell our house because everything was happening exactly when they said it would."

The positive experience at One Apartments ultimately gave all three buyers the confidence to purchase again with GWH, this time at ERA.

Their confidence reflects what many buyers are seeking in today's apartment market. Location remains important, but so too does certainty around delivery, quality and long-term liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356822]

ERA builds on those foundations with 280 one, two and three-bedroom apartments across two landmark towers in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/newcastle-west-nsw-2302">Newcastle West</a>.&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fk-australia">Fender Katsalidis</a>, the project will include more than 2,000 square metres of resident amenities, including a resort-style pool, gym, sauna, private cinema and rooftop entertaining spaces overlooking the harbour and coastline.&nbsp;

The development is also within walking distance of the Newcastle Interchange, Honeysuckle, Darby Street, the harbour foreshore, restaurants, retail and the city’s beaches, continuing the walkable lifestyle that existing GWH buyers say has transformed how they live.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356826]

For Keith, the appeal remains straightforward.

"You feel at home even before you've moved into your home."

For Aimee, the change is measured in time.

“I just felt like I had more time,” she says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=351102]

Construction at ERA is now underway, with more than half of the residences already sold and limited two and three-bedroom apartments remaining in the East Tower release. Priced from $980,000 for two-bedroom residences and $1.46 million for three-bedroom residences, buyers can secure an apartment with a 10 per cent deposit, with premium homes offering ocean views from Level 8 and harbour views from Level 10.

ERA is also backed by Resilience Insurance's 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy, providing protection against structural or waterproofing defects for 10 years after completion. The project is anticipated to be completed in early 2028.

From ONE to ERA: Why buyers are choosing GWH again in Newcastle West

Virgate Property Group is preparing to commence construction of Verdé, its new apartment development in Melbourne's Arts Precinct at Southbank, following a strong run of sales that has seen more than half of the project's 173 apartments secured.

Verdé has attracted a broad mix of first home buyers, owner-occupiers upgrading from nearby inner-city suburbs and investors, with younger owner-occupier couples aged between 28 and 45 accounting for the strongest enquiry. Many are already living in Southbank, South Melbourne, Albert Park, Port Melbourne, South Yarra and the CBD.

"Verdé is located in one of the most desirable pockets of southern Melbourne," Blair Property Group Director Darren Blair, who is managing sales at Verdé, said.

"It's within walking distance of the Arts Centre, Royal Botanic Gardens, Albert Park Lake, and Southbank's restaurants and retail. It's a great lifestyle location with strong amenity and liveability, which made it a very attractive choice for the project."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=372549]

Virgate was already familiar with the precinct, having previously delivered the successful Domain House development in neighbouring South Melbourne. That experience gave the developer confidence to acquire the Coventry Street site and continue expanding its presence in Melbourne's inner south.

"We had been keeping an eye on the site and the broader precinct for a few months before deciding to move forward with the acquisition," Virgate said.

The project was ultimately secured in 2020 following feasibility studies, planning assessments and due diligence, with the brief centred on delivering "a high-quality, considered design that feels both refined and fit for purpose."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=314259]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bruce-henderson-architects">Bruce Henderson Architects</a>, Verdé comprises 173 one, two and three-bedroom apartments priced from $599,000. The architecture is distinguished by a faceted glass façade that responds to both the site's outlook and Melbourne's changing light conditions.

According to Bruce Henderson Architects, the coloured glazing gives the building a distinctive identity while also providing privacy and solar shading, with residences oriented to capture views across the bay, city skyline and surrounding parklands.

Inside, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/designoffice">DesignOffice</a> has created interiors focused on natural light, efficient planning and enduring materials. Apartments feature engineered oak flooring, natural stone benchtops, floor-to-ceiling glazing and SMEG appliances, while a restrained material palette aims to complement the expansive outlooks rather than compete with them.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=372550]

Resident amenity has also been designed around everyday functionality rather than occasional use. Facilities include a concierge-serviced lobby, residents' lounge with fireplace, library and co-working space, gym, terrace garden with barbecue facilities, ground-floor café, and package delivery management.

The project's location continues to be one of its strongest drawcards. Positioned on Coventry Street, Verdé sits within walking distance of the National Gallery of Victoria, Arts Centre Melbourne, Royal Botanic Gardens and Albert Park Lake, while Southbank's dining precinct, Sturt Street trams and the new ANZAC Station are all nearby. The surrounding education catchment also includes Melbourne Grammar, Melbourne Girls Grammar, Mac.Robertson Girls' High School and several major university campuses.

The sales team says buyers have responded particularly well to the combination of location, design quality and long-term liveability.

"They're responding really positively to the quality of the design, premium resident amenities and the uninterrupted views. Many also appreciate the location and how connected it is to everything they need."

The ability to secure stamp duty savings before completion has also been a key factor for purchasers, alongside the opportunity to personalise finishes ahead of settlement.

With construction set to commence soon and more than half the apartments already sold, Verdé enters its next phase as one of the Arts Precinct's more established apartment developments, offering remaining buyers an opportunity to secure a residence before construction advances further. Expected completion is scheduled for late 2027.

Virgate's Verdé Southbank moves toward construction as sales fly past halfway stage

Downsizer-focused apartment development Kooyongkoot in Hawthorn has been recognised at the 2026 Better Future Melbourne Design Awards, taking home Gold and Silver awards in two categories.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kooyongkoot-hawthorn-1-kooyongkoot-road-hawthorn-vic-3122">Kooyongkoot</a>, currently being delivered by developer PQD and designed by Cera Stribley, received Gold in the Interior Design – Proposed category and Silver in the Architecture – Proposed category.

The dual recognition reflects the design approach behind the boutique development on prestigious Kooyongkoot Road, where the focus has been on creating homes for downsizers seeking the space, quality and functionality of a detached house within a low-rise apartment building.

Rather than maximising apartment numbers, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/pqd">PQD</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a> limited the development to just 18 residences, allowing for larger floorplans, greater privacy, generous landscaping and expansive communal spaces.&nbsp;The majority of the apartments also benefit from corner aspects, allowing for dual sources of natural light.

Now around 70 per cent complete and on track for completion in November 2026, Kooyongkoot will comprise a mix of garden residences, ter​race apartments, sub-penthouses, and is crowned by two half-floor penthouses with direct lift access and private rooftop terraces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355297]

The Silver Award for Architecture recognised the way the building responds to its prominent corner position at the ent​rance to Hawthorn's Scotch Hill precinct, one of Melbourne's most established residential neighbourhoods.

Rather than competing with the grand homes that line Kooyongkoot Road, the architectural approach focused on restraint and longevity, using curved brickwork, generous landscaping and carefully considered proportions to integrate with the existing streetscape.

"The form feels fluid and timeless, as though shaped by the landscape itself – architecture that belongs, rather than competes," said Chris Stribley, Co-Founder and Managing Principal of Cera Stribley.

The judging submission also highlighted practical innovations throughout the building, including lift cores servicing only nine homes each, a central landscaped lightcourt designed to bring daylight and ventilation into the building, and fully enclosed private storage rooms with lighting, power and shelving to better accommodate residents transitioning from larger family homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355293]

The Gold Award for Interior Design recognised the project's focus on long-term liveability rather than display-home aesthetics.

According to the awards submission, the interiors were designed from the inside out, prioritising how homes would function over decades of daily use through generous proportions, practical storage, durable natural materials and flexible layouts.

The specification includes natural stone throughout, upgraded acoustic glazing, V-ZUG appliances and fully enclosed storage rooms, alongside an amenity offering focused on wellness, entertainment and everyday convenience.&nbsp;

Residents will have access to a gym and yoga studio, a wellness centre featuring traditional and infrared saunas, a cold therapy shower and treatment room, as well as a residents' lounge and golf simulator/cinema room for entertainment.&nbsp;Kooyongkoot has also considered the everyday convenience of its residents by offering a private carwash and pet wash facilities on site as well as dedicated parcel lockers and oversized fully enclosed storage rooms.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355303]

The project's attention to detail has already resonated with buyers. Earlier this year, Kooyongkoot recorded one of Boroondara's highest apartment sales when an $8 million penthouse was purchased by a Melbourne CEO downsizing from a nearby family home.

"Every detail feels deliberate, from the overall design down to the smallest touches," the purchaser said.

"The level of quality and refinement is exceptional, but what really sold it was how liveable it felt... It felt like a place where everything had been considered, not just a luxury building."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355304]

Sustainability also formed a key part of both award submissions. Kooyongkoot is targeting a minimum 7.5-star NatHERS rating across all residences, supported by passive design principles, high-performance glazing, EV charging infrastructure, water reuse systems and a wellness model focused on lower-energy dry facilities rather than pools and large wet areas.

Located within walking distance of Scotch College, Methodist Ladies' College, Koo​yong Lawn Tennis Club, Aubur​n Village and Camberwell Junction, Kooyongkoot continues to target owner-occupiers looking to remain in Melbourne's inner east without compromising on space or quality. A limited selection of two, three and four-bedroom residences remains available, with prices starting from $1.9 million.

Kooyongkoot wins Gold and Silver at Better Future Melbourne Design Awards

New apartment supply has become increasingly constrained across <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/parramatta-nsw-2150">Parramatta</a> in recent years, with fewer projects progressing through to completion as development conditions have become more challenging.

It makes <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/novm">NOVM</a>'s 2021-completed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/the-lennox-parramatta-12-phillip-street-parramatta-nsw-2150">The Lennox</a> one of the most recently completed residential towers on the Parramatta River, and among the newest apartment developments in Sydney's second CBD.

With the project largely completed before the sharp escalation in construction costs and inflation following the pandemic, The Lennox is now offering pricing that would be difficult to replicate in a comparable new development in Parramatta today, or across much of Western Sydney.

The majority of the 413 apartments at The Lennox sold before and shortly after completion. A limited release of the remaining apartments has recently been brought to market by capital partner <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/equitifund-group">Equitifund</a>, with entry-level pricing from $700,000 and two-bedroom apartments available from under $1 million.

Rising above the Parramatta River at 12 Phillip Street, The Lennox comprises one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, appealing to first home buyers, young professionals, families, downsizers and interstate investors seeking a completed apartment in one of Australia's fastest-growing economic centres.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=372394]

Rather than positioning Parramatta as an alternative to Sydney's CBD, Equitifund believes the city has reached a point where it stands on its own merits.

"Parramatta is no longer simply an alternative to Sydney CBD, it's becoming a destination in its own right," Equitifund Executive Chairman Greg Huxley said.

"The Lennox captures that evolution with a level of quality and amenity that's difficult to match at its price point."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=953]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/marchese-partners">Marchese Partners</a>, the tower responds directly to its riverfront setting through expansive glazing and open-plan layouts that maximise views across the Parramatta River and city skyline. Interiors feature engineered timber flooring, stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances and floor-to-ceiling glazing, while generous balconies extend the living spaces outdoors.

Marchese Partners says the project was conceived to balance high-quality apartment living with practical, long-term functionality, pairing larger, efficient floorplans with amenities more commonly associated with five-star hotels.

That emphasis continues through the resident facilities, which include a 20-metre rooftop swimming pool, fully equipped gym and wellness spaces, full-time concierge, a residents' lounge, function room, private lifts, secure basement parking and rooftop communal areas overlooking the Parramatta River. Ground-floor boardwalk retail and dining further activate the riverfront and integrate the building into the surrounding public realm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=925]

Australian housing and finance group Equitifund has secured the remaining apartments, believing there are few completed apartment opportunities in Parramatta that offer the same combination of location, amenity and pricing.

Equitifund National Sales Director Ben Hamblett says buyers are increasingly recognising that premium apartment living no longer needs to come with Sydney CBD pricing.

"The Lennox is where aspirational living becomes attainable," Hamblett said.

"Wake to river and mountain views, step into Sydney's Second CBD, and arrive home to resort-calibre amenities, all without the harbour price tag."

Hamblett says owner-occupiers are also attracted by the convenience of having Westfield Parramatta, Church Street's dining precinct, Parramatta Park, Riverside Theatres, Western Sydney University and major transport connections all within walking distance.

"At The Lennox, lifestyle is not an afterthought, it is the foundation."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=5374]

The Lennox places residents within walking distance of Parramatta Square, Westfield Parramatta, Church Street Eat Street, Parramatta Station, the ferry wharf, Light Rail, the future Sydney Metro West, Parramatta Park and CommBank Stadium, reinforcing Parramatta's position as one of Australia's most connected metropolitan centres outside Sydney's CBD.

Equitifund says buyers visiting the display suite consistently comment on the quality of the finishes, generous floorplans, river and skyline views, and the walkability of the location. The project has attracted a broad mix of local professionals, upsizers, downsizers, buyers relocating from Sydney's inner suburbs and interstate investors seeking long-term growth opportunities.

That demand aligns with Parramatta's continued evolution as an economic powerhouse. Equitifund Research and Market Insights specialist John Bekiaris says sustained population growth, infrastructure investment and expanding employment opportunities continue to support long-term housing demand across the city.

"Parramatta has evolved from a satellite city into one of Australia's most important economic centres. Population growth, infrastructure investment and employment are all supporting sustained long-term housing demand."

The apartment price gap drawing Sydney buyers west

A luxury beachfront apartment at Rainbow Bay has more than doubled in value since it sold off the plan six years ago, setting a new local apartment record in the process.

The three-bedroom apartment in the Flow development on Petrie Street, the first of four new projects locally by Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Projects, has sold for $7.4 million, after originally selling for $3.27 million when the project launched in 2020.

The seventh-floor apartment, comprising 187 sqm of internal living space and a 54 sqm balcony overlooking Froggies Beach and Snapper Rocks, was purchased by a local family.

The transaction was negotiated by Pezet Matheson director Kerry Pezet and equates to more than $30,000 per sqm.

Pezet said the sale reflected the limited opportunities to buy into the boutique beachfront development.

"The sale highlights the rarity of opportunities within the boutique beachfront development, where residences seldom become available," Pezet said.

"Flow is one of the Gold Coast's most tightly held buildings. Buyers from our database move quickly when residences become available, and achieving an off-market sale at $7.4 million demonstrates the depth of demand for property of this calibre."

<img alt="Flow" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c585b206-2130-4eee-a50c-3f27c51a7c70" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-06%20at%208.33.25%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=m3pHRDV62Y3fvN.XQuQHq.52ilTWpRLf" />

Flow was the first of four luxury apartment developments delivered by Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Projects at Rainbow Bay and was completed in 2023.

Positioned on the beachfront overlooking Snapper Rocks, the residence includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a powder room and views stretching north along the coastline towards Surfers Paradise.

Pezet Matheson Residential principal Mitchell Lambert said buyers continued to prioritise quality beachfront apartments in tightly held locations.

"Flow Residences offers a rare combination of elevated beachfront positioning, architectural excellence, comprehensive resident amenity and premium finishes, which is exactly what discerning purchasers are seeking," Lambert said.

"The transaction further reinforces Rainbow Bay's reputation as one of Australia's premier coastal lifestyle destinations, where limited supply and growing demand continue to support strong market performance."

Pezet Matheson originally marketed and sold out Flow off the plan, making the latest transaction a return to one of the project's original buyers.

Paul Gedoun is selling his third project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/radia-rainbow-bay-271-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Radia Rainbow Bay</a>, after recently completing, and selling out, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/esprit-217-227-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Esprit</a>.

Rainbow Bay apartment doubles in price since off the plan sale during pandemic

Cedar Woods

Developer Cedar W​oods has announced the launch of a new luxury project in Melbourne following an increase in demand for off t​he plan townhomes close to the CBD.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Located in the city-fringe suburb of North Melbourne, 88 Lev​e​​son encompasses 15 three and four-bedroom townhomes, each with private outdoor&nbsp;entertaining space.&nbsp;

The project mirrors Cedar Woods&rsquo; ethos to deliver quality projects that meet buyer demands, chief operating officer Patrick Archer says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8945 project_image_fid=178920]

&ldquo;In every project we undertake, our primary focus is developing in areas with access to&nbsp;amenity, creating quality homes, and building community, which are all evident in our latest North Melbourne project.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&ldquo;When considering off t​he plan, purchasers need to feel confident and secure in the&nbsp;outcome of their new home and 88 Leve​son provides that clear vision in a convenient location, only two kilometres from the city,&rdquo; Archer said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Pre-launch enquiry has indicated the project will be highly sought after, with the volume of enquiry &ldquo;outstanding&rdquo; at the pre-release phase.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8945 project_image_fid=178922]

&ldquo;This is a result of the lack of off t​​he plan townhome opportunities within inner Melbourne&nbsp;and the current dearth of residential listings,&rdquo; said Marsha​ll White&rsquo;s Mark Dayman.&nbsp;

Designed by Genton, 88 Le​veson caters to the design-savvy buyer with a striking brick fa&ccedil;ade that references the industrial history of the site.

The interiors, curated by Adele Bates, features high-quality modern amenity including Miele appliances and Signorino&nbsp;stone and have been designed for liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8945 project_image_fid=178921]

&ldquo;The industrial nature of the architecture and local character is seamlessly integrated and&nbsp;juxtaposed with fine design elements carried harmoniously through the homes. The interiors are imbued with a sense of huma​n scale and tactility through fine attention to detail, function,&nbsp;and materiality,&rdquo; Bates said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

88 Lev​eson is only a short distance from the historic Errol Street and within walking distance&nbsp;of Queen Victoria Market, University of Melbourne and the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct.&nbsp;

Its location makes it highly desirable to a range of purchasers, particularly&nbsp;professionals working in the nearby employment precincts.

Construction is anticipated to commence in 2022.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=8945]

<h2 style="margin-left: 0.4pt;">Other projects by Cedar Woods</h2>

The national developer Cedar Woods has also been developing other projects in Melbourne, such as the 64-hectare masterplanned community, Mason Quarter.

Located in Melbourne&rsquo;s northern growth corridor, only 25-kilometres from the CBD, Mason Quarter incorporates 800 dwellings, two schools and community facilities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=99962 project_image_fid=160813]

Land lots within this community are selling now, with 294sqm that boast 10.5-metre frontage available from just $316,000,

The community will offer the opportunity for people to craft their ideal lifestyle in beautiful, natural surrounds with a 7.9-hectare conservation reserve and over 30 distributed tree reserves with majestic river red gums on site.

Mason Quarter is conveniently located within walking distance of the future Wollert town&nbsp;centre and a range of existing infrastructure and public amenity.

The project mirrors Cedar Woods’ ethos to deliver quality projects that meet buyer demands, chief operating officer Patrick Archer explains

Cedar Woods launch boutique North Melbourne townhouse development, 88 Leveson

Buyers have snapped up all 14 blocks on launch in the latest Ellendale land release from Cedar Woods, as the Brisbane market continues to gather steam.

The lots, ranging between $399,000 and $643,000, sold out following a two-week expressions of interest&nbsp;campaign. There were around 150 interested buyers in the small lot release.

The quick-fire sales come&nbsp;after CoreLogic revealed Brisbane house prices continued their upward trend in July, rising by two&nbsp;per cent for a total gain of 15.9 per cent in the past 12 months on the back of sustained high demand.

Cedar Woods Development Director Peter Starr said Ellendale continued to be a highly sought-after lifestyle offering.

&ldquo;The sellout again signals the strength of the Brisbane market and the appeal of the Ellendale community,&rdquo; Starr said.

&ldquo;We decided to embark on an expressions of interest campaign for the first time for this new release, we considered this the fairest way to manage the significant demand we&rsquo;ve been experiencing for new land in Ellendale.

<img alt="" height="801" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/ellendale_2.jpg" width="1200" />

&ldquo;The process meant all interested buyers had the opportunity to purchase, by submitting an offer on their top three lots.

&ldquo;We wanted to avoid buyers feeling like they needed to go to great lengths, such as camping out, to secure a lot and believe this method provided the most measured and sensible approach.

&ldquo;The feedback we received from purchasers about the process was overwhelmingly positive and we are thrilled more families can now start planning their dream homes here at Ellendale.&rdquo;

Located just 12 kilometres from the Brisbane CBD, Ellendale features large homesites and tree-lined streets nestled amongst 91 hectares of nature corridors and recreation space.

Residents have access to&nbsp;landscaped green spaces, a parklands and a playground, which are linked by a series of walkways and bikeways. Starr said the new land release was superbly located, with beautiful bushland aspects.

&ldquo;Families have all they need for the ideal lifestyle close by, from parklands and expansive playgrounds with state-of-the-art play equipment right through to walkways, bikeways and multiple places for barbecues at lookouts with scenic views,&rdquo; he said.

<img alt="" height="800" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/ellendale_1.jpg" width="1200" />

&ldquo;There&rsquo;s also a newly opened C&amp;K childcare in the community and a range of schools, parks, shops and public transport in easy reach.&rdquo;

Starr said Cedar Woods was working to bring forward new stages of land as soon as possible, to meet the continued demand for homesites at Ellendale and across Brisbane.

&ldquo;As buyers become more lifestyle focused following COVID-19, we are finding more people looking to become part of leafy communities within commuting distance of the Brisbane CBD, which is making Ellendale a popular choice,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;We already have a waiting list of interested purchasers for our next release, so the best way to avoid disappointment is to register your details now, so you are among the first to hear when new land is available.&rdquo;

Cedar Woods Development Director Peter Starr said Ellendale continued to be a highly sought-after lifestyle offering

Buyers of Grace Apartments, the second apartment building at the $400 million Glenside development by Cedar Woods have begun moving into their new homes.

The new residents will see the residential community at Glenside grow to more than 300.

Designed by leading South Australian architects Hames Sharley, Grace is a boutique four-storey apartment building incorporating 44 spacious one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27705 project_image_fid=164686]

Grace offers Glenside&rsquo;s first three-bedroom penthouses and sub-penthouses, and features incredible community amenities, including the recently-completed 15,000sqm main reserve, Glenside Park.

&ldquo;Driving past Glenside and seeing the construction when we first came back to Adelaide [got us interested]&rdquo;, said buyers Callan and Anna.

&ldquo;We thought, &lsquo;Wow, if we are staying in Adelaide, that would be the perfect spot.&rsquo;&rdquo;

</figure>

Grace boasts views of Glenside&rsquo;s state-listed heritage buildings, as well as includes generous open-plan living spaces, large balconies, gourmet kitchens and secure basement parking.

&ldquo;Because Cedar Woods is a listed company, we could do our own research, too and find out if we could trust them. And the foundation here was already laid, so we knew that it was going to happen. Botanica was already built, so it was easier for us to envision that this would become such a great space to live&rdquo;, Callan and Anna said.

In July, Cedar Woods launched Glenside&rsquo;s third apartment building, Monarch, to the public.

The boutique six-storey apartment building will incorporate 51 luxury one, two and three-bedroom apartments, overlooking Glenside&rsquo;s Linear Reserve and community park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27705 project_image_fid=164687]

Monarch has been designed with a high-level of sustainability and energy saving features including solar powered communal areas, provision for electric car charging and zero landfill target waste management system.

&ldquo;Apartment living at Glenside is unique because residents are stepping outside their

front door into glorious established grounds with mature trees, community parks and lush, green landscaping, yet they&rsquo;re only minutes from the CBD&rdquo;, Cedar Woods development director Mark Pivovaroff said.

Glenside will see the continued transformation of the 16-hectare site into a master-planned community with new homes and high quality landscaped public spaces as well as walking and cycling trails.

The ASX-listed developer&nbsp;Cedar Woods&nbsp;has spent $63.5 million on&nbsp;two sites in Melbourne&rsquo;s western growth corridor.

They&#39;ve secured a 14.6 hectare site in Fraser Rise ($30.5 million) and a 39.7 hectare site in Fieldstone ($33 million). Combined, the acquisitions will add 725 lots to Cedar Woods&rsquo; development pipeline.

The Fraser Rise site (pictured main),&nbsp;25 kilometers north west of Melbourne&rsquo;s CBD, has planning permits in place for a 225 lot subdivision.

As part of the Plumpton Precinct Structure Plan, the development will benefit from a recreational park and a proposed non-government school. Settlement is due in October 2021 and is expected to contribute to Cedar Woods earnings from FY23.

The Company&rsquo;s purchase of a 39.7 hectare site in Fieldstone (below)&nbsp;is on deferred terms and is subject to Cedar Woods receiving approval to subdivide the site from its parent title, which is anticipated in FY23.

The Fieldstone development is expected to yield over 500 lots in the future Rockbank South Precinct Structure Plan.

Cedar Woods&rsquo; Managing Director, Nathan Blackburne, said the new acquisitions will come to market sequentially, further extending the Company&rsquo;s earnings pipeline.

&ldquo;Both sites provide exposure to Melbourne&rsquo;s western growth corridor with Fraser Rise set to benefit from continued demand for housing lots and Fieldstone&rsquo;s launch anticipated in FY24 or FY25,&rdquo;&nbsp;Blackburne said.

&ldquo;With our strong balance sheet, the support of our financiers and finance facility headroom of $94 million at FY21 year end, Cedar Woods remains well positioned to continue our strategy of diversification, bolstering our portfolio with quality product that meets the strong appetite for new housing in Australia.&quot;

7 reasons to consider buying a home at Cedar Woods' St A in Melbourne's north west

First home buyers are securing affordable homes at St Albans, thanks to Cedar Woods’ new St.A townhouse development. &nbsp;

The striking project, designed by DKO Architecture, features 254 two, three and four-bedroom homes which have been crafted to give residents an elevated lifestyle.

Among the first home buyers purchasing into the charming development is 24-year-old civil engineer, Jessica Nguyen. &nbsp;

Urban spoke to young property buyer about her buying journey and what she loves about St.A.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7633 project_image_fid=80007]

MK: Where did you previously live and why are you moving to St.A?

JN: I currently live in Caroline Springs and decided to move to St.A because of the location. The area has already been largely developed with a train station within walking distance as well as great restaurants.

I spend so much time in the area already. So many of my family and friends live in St Albans and more of my friends are looking to buy in the area.

MK: Were you already looking for property when you discovered St.A?

JN: I’ve been looking for the last few months mainly at new developments around the Maribyrnong, Sunshine and St Albans areas.

<blockquote>
St.A appealed to me because of the price, distance from the city and amenity, available all within my budget.
</blockquote>

MK: What do you love most about what St.A has to offer residents?

JN:&nbsp;There is amazing food and a great community. The train station is a big factor for me, it is walking distance from St.A to the station, whereas right now I have to drive 20 minutes to the nearest station each day.

MK: Which townhome configuration did you opt for, and what led you to narrow down your decision?

JN: I purchased the Argyle townhome which has two-bedrooms, two-bathrooms and a single garage.

<figure><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="372" src="/s3/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/argyle_0.png?itok=BwP0Dq2-" title="The Argyle floorplan" width="580" />

<figcaption>The Argyle floorplan</figcaption>
</figure>

Price was a big influence. I went through a mortgage broker who helped me figure out what I could afford, and I was thrilled that this was slightly under budget.

MK: What was it like negotiating with the sales agent and the team at Cedar Woods?

JN: Minh was really good to work with; he understood my non-negotiables and replied quickly to get the deal done.

MK: What made you decide to buy off-the-plan rather than an existing dwelling?

JN: I wanted to build and found that buying off-the-plan was a lot easier and stress-free. St.A is already a built-up area and I could see the quality and style of homes Cedar Woods delivered.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7633 project_image_fid=32169]

MK: St A has impressive nearby amenity. Which amenity is your favourite?

JN: Definitely the restaurants. My favourite is Thuan Phat, I go there every week!

MK: As a first home buyer, how did you find the due diligence research and purchase process?

JN: I asked advice from family who told me to first go to a mortgage broker to understand my budget. I also watched a lot of YouTube videos and listened to podcasts on how to budget and save for my first deposit.

I was also looking at another development in Sunshine but I liked the St.A amenity more. It is already an established community, whereas the other is still a while away from feeling like a community.

MK: Did you have a set of criteria that your first home had to meet?

JN: I very much looked at this purchase as an investment as well as my first home and having two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a garage was a set requirement for me.

I personally wanted a backyard area as well and I had a preference for a downstairs living area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7633 project_image_fid=80010]

As this was my first home, it had to be eligible for the First Home Owner Grant as well as fit within my budget.

What advice would you have for other first home buyers?

JN: Research as much as you can and understand your budget [and] prepare for the expenses of home ownership as well!

MK: Is there anything else you would like to add about your new home or the area more generally? 

JN: St Albans is such a beautiful place; it has come a long way in recent years. It is such good value being so close to the city; the west is the next big thing!

Construction has commenced on Lincoln Apartments, the fourth apartment development by property developer Cedar Woods at its Williams Landing masterplanned community in Melbourne&rsquo;s west.

Figurehead Construction has been appointed as the builder for Lincoln Apartments, having previously delivered multiple projects for Cedar Woods across its Victorian communities.

Cedar Woods development director, Callum Knight, joined Figurehead managing director, Joe Grasso, on-site recently for the project&rsquo;s official sod turn.

<figure><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="541" src="/s3/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/210520_lincoln_sod-turn_cal_joe2-crop_1.jpg?itok=RSSD7Mno" title="f Callum Knight, development director at Cedar Woods and Joe Grasso, managing director at Figurehead Construction, breaking ground at the project site" width="580" />

</figure>

&ldquo;Our Lincoln project has started construction at an exciting time as we continue to create local jobs and support the construction industry,&rdquo; Knight explains.

Designed by DKO Architecture, the five-storey building will include 69 apartments and features in-house amenities including a gym and a communal rooftop recreation area for residents to enjoy.

Buyers get the opportunity to tailor their apartments, with light or dark palette options of textured timbers, honed stone, loop pile carpet and large format porcelain tiles.

Lincoln Apartments is located within the town centre and will be a short walk from the Williams Landing shopping centre, train station, restaurants and the growing commercial office hub.

According to Knight, amenity has been a key driver in the popularity of the project.

&ldquo;We have developed Lincoln as a project that offers everything residents could possibly need. Being located within the town centre and having access to in-building amenity, purchasers are taking advantage of the value on offer.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27675 project_image_fid=70625]

Following the ground-breaking of Lincoln Apartments, Cedar Woods has launched a series of boutique apartment stages in response to market demand from owner-occupiers for low-rise, suburban living.

Positioned as one of Wyndham&rsquo;s preeminent suburbs, once completed, the $2 billion masterplanned Williams Landing community will be home to 2,400 dwellings, as well as a thriving commercial and retail precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27675 project_image_fid=70626]

Located just 20 kilometres from Melbourne&rsquo;s CBD Williams Landing offers a diverse housing mix, train station, shopping, dining, parklands and office precinct, and has created demand from first home buyers, to downsizers and investors who saw the growth potential of the suburb.

Construction completion for Lincoln Apartments is slated for mid-2022.

Residents of Aster apartments will be able to hire an electric vehicle by the hour thanks to a new partnership between developer Cedar Woods, Origin Energy and e-mobility and proptech company, Ohmie Go.

Belonging to the larger 6.5-hectare masterplanned Jackson Green community, Aster apartments will be one of two buildings that will home a Tesla Model 3 for resident hire, providing an eco-friendly transport option to residents.

<a href="/buildings/aster-apartments-456-haughton-road-clayton-south"><img alt="" height="3024" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/ohmie_go_tesla.jpg" width="3778" /></a>

Using the Ohmie Go app, the car can be picked up and paid for at an hourly, daily or weekend rate, for as little as $15 per hour.

This partnership comes as the Victorian Government announces hopes for&nbsp;half of all new cars sold to be zero-emission by 2030.

Cedar Woods chief operating officer Patrick Archer explained the influence of existing infrastructure on the decision to offer carshare in the community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4124 project_image_fid=90887]

&ldquo;Jackson Green is well serviced by public transport meaning car ownership is not always a necessary expense. We consider the needs of people in our communities and we believe that carshare services will bridge the gap between public transport and car ownership to add great value to the lives of Jackson Green residents&rdquo;, Archer said.

The Tesla Model 3 will be partially subsidised by Origin Energy who has also partnered with Cedar Woods on its sold-out Huntington apartments.

Huntington will deliver the most sustainable development to date in the Jackson Green masterplan, boasting a 40KW solar PV system to power common areas and communal electric vehicle chargers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4124 project_image_fid=90888]

Kyle Bolto, Ohmie Go CEO and founder said the initiative will create a real alternative to traditional car ownership.

&ldquo;This initiative will deliver sustainable mobility for the exclusive use of residents at Jackson Green&rsquo;s Huntington and Aster apartments,&rdquo; Bolto said.

<blockquote>
&quot;Fully managed, on-site e-mobility and its integration with the built-form is the inevitable progression for all new large-scale residential developments.&rdquo;
</blockquote>

Jackson Green will be the first residential development in Victoria to offer Ohmie Go.

Featuring 128 apartments across three buildings, Aster apartments in one, two and three-bedroom configurations are currently selling.
