The most elevated residential tower in Palm Beach, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/corallo-palm-beach-5-palm-beach-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">Corallo</a>, has officially launched this week, however only a handful of buyers will have an opportunity to buy in to the 17-storey project.

The $200 million mixed-use project includes ground floor dining and retail and is considered so valuable its developer, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/changfa-group">Changfa Group</a>, will be staging its release of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses to the market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=806]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> International, Director, David Higgins, said the development’s location just metres from the beach on the corner of Palm Beach Avenue and the Gold Coast Highway influenced the sculptural design by the acclaimed Plus Architecture studio.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> locals understand the rare opportunity here at Corallo, particularly being the tallest building in the suburb and its proximity to the beach and local restaurants, and they’ve represented the bulk of pre-launch enquiries,” Higgins said.

“The orientation of the apartments captures views of the coastline from Surfers Paradise to Currumbin, and the diversity of floor plans and apartment types provide an exceptional level of choice.

“The first release includes just 59 one-, two and three-bedroom apartments and two half-floor penthouses, with flexible use designed to appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors."

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=799]

In addition to the ground floor amenity, residents will also have access to a private dedicated wellness level offering 734 sqm of resort-style amenities including a pool, cold plunge, wet deck, steam room, sauna, gym, day bed, fire pit, barbecue area, dining area and yoga/stretch deck.

The project is located within walking distance of Tallebudgera Creek, Burleigh Heads village, Currumbin Alley and Palm Beach Currumbin High School. The Gold Coast Airport is under 10 minutes away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=814]

Higgins said Palm Beach remained a hotly contested suburb for home buyers, with prices doubling in the past five years.

“What makes Corallo so appealing to the local market is the diversity of apartment types and pricing, with one-bedroom apartments starting from $841,000 and two-bedroom apartments starting from $1.34 million,” he said.

“The ground floor retail and dining offering will further expand on Palm Beach’s village atmosphere and create a meeting place for locals, and those opportunities for connection are highly valued.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=807]

The on-site sales display, which includes a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, will be open until early works commence in Q1 2026. Each residence at Corallo will feature premium finishes including natural stone, artisanal brickwork, and warm copper accents.

Changfa Group has a two-decade history of delivering premium developments in Australia and internationally, having recently completed its collection of premium townhomes at Lyra, Hope Island, as well as apartment projects in Leichhardt, Carlingford, and Chatswood in New South Wales.

$200 million Corallo Palm Beach launches with limited apartment release

In a move that aligns with NSW's accelerated planning incentives for affordable housing, developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/the-one-collection">One Collection</a> has revised its Hills District apartment plans, and taken it to the NSW Government, to secure approval.

The developer, which is currently delivering Horizon Hurstville, is seeking to add 80 more apartments to its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-castle-hill-16-dawes-avenue-nsw-2154">Castle Hill development</a> near Castle Towers. They already have approval for 280 apartments across eight six-storey buildings.

<img alt="One Collection" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3c298ba-1cc5-4db7-9872-607c75f8ceca" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=wN9KpFIu5ENSGZLLsaZgXQHrXcwEO3Vd" />

Now on the desks of the NSW Department of Planning is 360 apartments, 48 of which will be dedicated to affordable housing.&nbsp;Affordable housing is to be “fully integrated within the building and visually indistinguishable,” according to the planning submission.

The 15,697 sqm block, an amalgamation of 16 sites, spans across Dawes Avenue, Hughes Avenue, and Camdan Crescent, sits 550m from Hills Showground Metro Station.&nbsp;

"The existing context is quickly changing from free-standing homes into residential flat buildings in line with the Hills Showground Precinct planning framework," Place Studio noted.

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3ec24948-c185-48fa-af8b-ed25adf302bf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.04%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=zNDX.IeRROX1RlDeYcS38xn8w_dqgU2t" />

They said the design was informed by the site's unique condition of having three street frontages and was developed to to respond sensitively to iots surrounding context.

"The design adopted a conventional perpendicular alignment to the primary street frontage. The massing of the development was carefully modulated to align with the evolving character of the neighbourhood. The design ensured that the scale was not excessive or out of context, but instead contributed to a cohesive urban form consistent with emerging developments in the area."

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f83ffdaa-f960-469d-b6fe-abcece57c9ef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.09%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4oKlCyfaKes7jLi1_EMoqa46w2h_YvDZ" />

The apartment mix will be 46 one-beds, 168 two-bed apartments, and 146 three-bedroom units, with 631 parking spaces proposed.

Along the street frontages, the building heights are four storeys with a 7.5 metre setback, and eight storeys with an 11.5 metre setback. It should cost about $150 million to build.

One Collection works hand-in-hand with the respected development and construction firm Masscon, which has built a reputation for leveraging its expertise in the built environment to take on developments others can't. That's what they're achieving at Horizon Hurstville, having taken over the project to deliver it.

At Yarra’s Edge, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a>’s newest tower under construction, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/trielle-at-yarra-s-edge-docklands-16-point-park-crescent-docklands-vic-3008">Trielle</a>, sets a new benchmark for elevated living. Rising 45 storeys, 12.5 metres from the Yarra River, the landmark building offers residents access to a private wellness retreat and spa, a resident-only golf simulator, and an elegant lounge, dining and bar complete with a self-playing piano, all without ever having to leave home.

Now, that sense of elevation has reached new heights with the Aerus Sub-Penthouses, a limited release of half-floor riverfront residences on the Collins St axis where the sought-after street meets the Yarra River.

Each Aerus Sub-Penthouse, located across levels 42 and 43, represents the most expansive offering within Trielle, aside from the yet-to-be-revealed crowning penthouses. Spanning between 269 and 301 sqm, these residences are designed to capture natural light and uninterrupted views of the city skyline, Yarra River, and Port Phillip Bay.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3784]

Among the collection are three-bedroom sub penthouses, complemented by a media room, and expansive four-bedroom layouts. All include panoramic living areas and oversized master suites with luxury ensuites reminiscent of a five-star hotel, complemented by dedicated dressing rooms finished in timber and natural stone.

The interiors have been crafted by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/mirvac-design">Mirvac Design</a>, the developer’s award-winning in-house architecture and design team. Every material has been chosen for quality and longevity, from sculpted stone island benches with feature soft wash LED lighting to bespoke joinery and chevron timber oak flooring.

Kitchens are fitted with a BORA induction cooktop with integrated downdraft extractor, alongside Gaggenau appliances, including a fridge, freezer, and wine fridge. The adjoining butler’s pantry incorporates the exclusive Gaggenau Minimalistic Series including oven, steam oven, microwave, coffee machine and warming drawer, all concealed behind handleless glass panels for a clean, integrated presentation. Bathrooms feature custom Apaisar freestanding baths and basins and natural stone benchtops, continuing Mirvac’s design emphasis on tactile, timeless materials.&nbsp;

<img alt="Trielle at Yarra's Edge, Docklands" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c00be724-b0f1-47c0-afed-54f829870704" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Aerus%20sub-penthouse.png?VersionId=Uktd61kpLSqNjwJeDFs7IaZ3xgLlDQmu" />

Michael Wiener, Design Director at Mirvac, says The Aerus Sub-Penthouse embodies the apex of Mirvac’s design ethos.

“Moving through your home is like walking on air - a private sanctuary where the craftsmanship is refined, the proportions generous, and the flow so effortless, you feel completely at ease in the sky,” Wiener says.

“In Aerus, we wanted to create a sense of weightlessness - a home that feels suspended in the skyline, full of light, grounded in luxury.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3777]

The Aerus Sub-Penthouses are expected to attract a mix of local and international buyers seeking a long-term residence of scale and quality in a riverfront setting, from returning expats to established families and business owners who value privacy, craftsmanship, and convenience within walking distance of the CBD.

With an unmatched suite of amenities, Trielle is the most extensively appointed development Mirvac has created to date at Yarra’s Edge. Within the tower will be The Oasis, a 900 sqm podium rooftop wellness retreat designed in collaboration with spa expert Naomi Gregory. Located seven storeys above the Yarra River promenade, it features a 25-metre lap pool, spa and sauna, hot magnesium spa, biophilic gym, yoga and Pilates studio, cold-pail contrast treatment, and day spa treatment rooms. Further amenities include a piano lounge, bookable dining room, cinema room, golf simulator studio, games room, teppanyaki bar, dog wash bay, and two flexible work hubs, The Biblioteca library and Mills Place office space, catering to residents’ evolving lifestyle needs.

Construction of the $350 million tower is underway through Mirvac’s in-house construction arm, with completion anticipated for mid-2027.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/jwland-development">JWLand</a>’s De Burgh, the final residential release within the Northbourne Village precinct in Lyneham, is nearing completion just as the Federal Government’s Home Guarantee Scheme prepares for its most significant expansion to date.&nbsp;

From October 2025, the scheme will allow first home buyers to enter the market with just a five per cent deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), removing some of the most common barriers to ownership.

With <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/de-burgh-at-northbourne-village-40-de-burgh-street-lyneham-act-2602">De Burgh</a> on track for residents to move in by late spring 2025, the timing creates a strong opportunity for first home buyers seeking brand-new apartments in Canberra’s sought-after Inner North.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=212888]

The project delivers 350 residences across two buildings, with layouts ranging from compact studios through to one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.

JWLand has tailored the development for long-term liveability, integrating natural light, privacy and outdoor space into each home. Ground-floor residences feature private courtyards, while upper levels benefit from generous balconies.

Kitchens are fitted with Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, and all apartments include ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning with smartphone app control for lighting and climate.&nbsp;

Shared resident facilities include a rooftop garden, gym, lounge and parcel lockers, alongside landscaped green space within the precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=267376]

For buyers, the expanded Home Guarantee Scheme removes income caps and introduces unlimited places, making it more accessible than ever. With most De Burgh apartments priced under $1 million, they fall well within the updated eligibility thresholds.

The policy changes provide first home buyers with greater certainty and a smoother path to finance. Combined with the quality and location of De Burgh, the expanded scheme is expected to draw a new wave of buyers to Canberra’s Inner North.

Residents will benefit from the project’s central setting, just 600 metres from the light rail and three kilometres from Canberra’s CBD. The precinct is bordered by the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/lyneham-act-2602">Lyneham</a> wetlands and sits within easy reach of cafes, restaurants, schools and the ANU.

With completion scheduled for late 2025, De Burgh is set to be among the first major apartment projects to meet the expanded scheme head-on, offering first-time buyers a realistic pathway to ownership in one of Canberra’s most connected neighbourhoods.

A subtropical pair of residential towers are in planning for a key South Brisbane site neighbouring the iconic Expo ’88 Skyneedle, with new documents revealing a vertically layered vision designed to respond to the precinct’s evolving high-density character.

The proposal has been lodged by&nbsp;Darveniza Group, which is also is behind the 400-apartment Station Quarter precinct in Alderley.

Darveniza Group, led by Jane Darveniza, the Brisbane-based investor and Queensland rich-lister and widow of the late property magnate Bojan Darveniza, is seeking approval for a mixed-use project encompassing 204 apartments, ground-level retail, food and drink tenancies, and office space across two architecturally integrated towers at 37–39 Manning Street.

Occupying an 1,822 sqm site, the proposed towers would rise above a sculptural podium base, with a recessed landscaped centre, rooftop communal areas, and a total of 220 car parks and 256 bicycle bays. The apartment mix spans one- to five-bedroom dwellings, with a design emphasis on generous balconies, cross-ventilation, and climate-responsive materials.

<img alt="First look: Twin towers proposed for Manning Street site beside Skyneedle" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="42c1f501-2afd-440b-af49-67c257123ea7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Manning%20podium.png?VersionId=KFlksfWzmDRD.VIYxd_1q3VAel.nN3TH" />

“The development is conceived as two slender twin buildings that meet at a lushly landscaped central recess,” the Finegrain design report states. “The façade is highly articulated with the plan form stepping back and forth to reduce visual bulk and maximise internal occupants’ access to natural light and air”.

A hallmark of the proposal is its integration of greenery, both visually and functionally. Around 77 per cent of the site’s green plot ratio is delivered through vertical planting spines, a green podium wall, and rooftop amenity. Ground-level deep planting and landscaped communal zones aim to create a shaded, walkable interface along Manning Street.

“The stepped plan form introduces variation in balcony setbacks and enclosed apartment areas, enriching both the façade expression and the resident experience,” the design team notes. “At ground and podium levels, this stepping also enhances permeability, maximising pedestrian view lines to the neighbouring Skyneedle and reinforcing a strong sense of local identity”.

<img alt="First look: Twin towers proposed for Manning Street site beside Skyneedle" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3f26dfc-6b93-465c-9ffb-0a2530372a23" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Manning%20site.png?VersionId=JflvKdqDxcaHTFbb9HL5TwoiRgeQ2LqA" />

The site directly adjoins the heritage-listed Skyneedle at 35 Manning Street, an enduring legacy of World Expo ’88. The accompanying heritage impact report by Pendergast Architects contends that the proposal has been carefully conceived to protect the cultural significance and landmark visibility of the structure.

“The design provides setbacks, tower separation and podium articulation to maintain the visibility and landmark role of the adjoining Skyneedle,” the report states. “The significance of the Skyneedle lies principally in its landmark visibility and cultural symbolism, rather than in detailed fabric or architectural setting”.

The proposal sits within the Kurilpa Sustainable Growth Precinct, under Brisbane’s TLPI 02/2023, where revised planning controls support high-density, mixed-use development integrated with subtropical design and increased public realm contributions.

Finegrain’s design reflects this intent, drawing cues from the site's adjacency to Musgrave Park, the subtropical landscape of South Brisbane, and cultural landmarks such as QPAC and South Bank.

Offering both work and play: Inside Cube's amenity-rich Seasons Birtinya

Leading Sunshine Coast developer Cube Developments has achieved a near $75 million sell-out across its Bokarina Beach project Oasis.

Positioned with ocean views on the last remaining beachfront location on Bokarina Beach, Oasis makes up a collection of 56&nbsp;apartments with amenities including a lap pool, open air resident dining, a gym, an outdoor beach shower and lush gardens.

The boutique project sold 70 per cent of residences prior to officially hitting the market, totalling close to $50 million within a week of its soft launch.

Just four apartments remain, including two penthouses that range from 191 sqm to 242 sqm, boasting secluded rooftop terraces and private plunge pools, starting from $3.5 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106623 project_image_fid=200348]

Cube Developments Director Scott Juniper pointed out the region's notably high demand for prestigious properties, which is evident in the palpable desire among buyers. However, the limited supply of such properties is struggling to keep up with the demand.

“In a market where there is high demand for prestigious coastal homes, buyers are taking quick action to avoid missing out on the limited supply," Juniper said.

“Our sales team had 40 appointments booked on the first day of Oasis’ soft launch, 25 of which sold that very same day. There’s a strong sense of urgency among potential buyers, and we’ve observed a significant level of enthusiasm from people who want to secure a prime piece.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106623 project_image_fid=200349]

“We’re delivering an exceptional project on one of the last remaining beachfront blocks on Bokarina Beach to offer an unparalleled lifestyle, and buyers responded well to this vision."

The majority of buyers being local residents and individuals from wider South East Queensland can be attributed to the area's beauty and rarity of properties like this one. This is due to the combination of its premium yet simplistic design and the incredible oceanfront location on Longboard Parade, which provides a unique vantage point.

Set across six levels, Oasis’ configuration maximises access to almost 180 degree ocean views stretching North from Point Cartwright all the way down to the Caloundra Headland.

Oasis is now over 92 per cent sold.&nbsp;Remaining apartments start from $1,650,000.

&ldquo;Our sales team had 40 appointments booked on the first day of Oasis&rsquo; soft launch, 25 of which sold that very same day,&quot; Juniper said.

&quot;There&rsquo;s been a sense of urgency and we&rsquo;ve certainly had people vying to get a piece of the action.

&ldquo;Buyers are largely locals and those from wider South East Queensland who understand the beauty of this area and the rarity in stock like this, both in its very premium yet simplistic design and the incredible oceanfront vantage on Longboard Walk.

&ldquo;Quietly tucked between Caloundra and Mooloolaba, this location offers connection to the best of the suburb and beyond.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109813 project_image_fid=196622]

Positioned with uninterrupted ocean views on the last remaining beachfront location on Bokarina Beach, Oasis has two-bedroom apartments from $800,000 and three-bedroom apartments from $1 million.

The&nbsp;project also features two-level penthouses that boast secluded rooftop terraces and private plunge pools, starting from $3.2 million.

Juniper said they expected to be sold out within the week.

It comes at the same time that Cube has sold out its Nature by Cube project further up the road in Cotton Tree, with the 12 apartments selling for a combined value of $43 million, including its $7 million penthouse.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89721 project_image_fid=172105]

&ldquo;Nature is an extremely exclusive project given the handful of residences on offer, and is unique to the coast from an architectural and materiality standpoint,&quot; Juniper added.

&quot;The sheer amount of amenity and meticulous attention to detail in the design of each home is what sets it apart in the market.

&ldquo;We want to deliver something that hasn&rsquo;t been experienced before here on the Sunshine Coast, to offer an unparalleled lifestyle, and buyers responded well to this vision.

&ldquo;The strong desire for prestige property is palpable in this region, it&rsquo;s a matter of supply struggling to keep up with demand.&quot;

Cube Developments see soaring demand for high-end Sunshine Coast apartment developments

The Sunshine Coast&nbsp;developer Cube Developments has lodged plans for a $30 million residential community in Peregian Springs, which will be one of the last opportunities for freehold land in the coveted region.

The community, dubbed Lumeah, will see just 33 land lots released, ranging from 500s qm to 800 sqm.

The 2.79 hectare&nbsp;site on Pavilion Drive was originally pinned for 51 townhouses but instead, Cube is seeking to offer 33 exclusive land parcels.

The project, which has been lodged as a joint venture with Queensland builder McNab, will benefit from its position of being a short walk from the Peregian Springs Shopping Centre, beach and Surf Lifesaving Club and Peregian Beach Village, as well as being close by to well-regarded private and state schools.

Director of Cube Developments Scott Juniper said Lumeah has been designed to fit in with the existing style and feel of the surrounding streetscapes, with plenty of landscaping to its verges.

<a href="/developments/peregian-springs-qld-4573"><img alt="" height="822" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-02-24_at_4.35.33_pm.png" width="1288" /></a>

&ldquo;The site itself is just spectacular, it&rsquo;s nestled within the leafy and well-established community of Peregian Springs and is a stone&rsquo;s throw from some of the best beaches the Sunshine Coast has to offer,&rdquo; Juniper said.

&ldquo;Majority of blocks back onto scenic outlooks and provide unbelievable ocean views.&rdquo;

&ldquo;We made the call alongside McNab to reduce the density from the existing DA approval for 51 townhouses, as we feel as though 33 lots is more aligned with the surrounding residents and will give this estate a truly prized and intimate feel.&rdquo;

Peregian Springs is a small oceanside community just south of Noosa that boasts wide open greenspace, oceans and wildlife conservation sites.

Once approved, it will offer one of the last opportunities for freehold land in the coveted Peregian Springs region.

Demand has continued for the up-and-coming Sunshine Coast suburb of Birtinya, with Cube Developments announcing a sell out success of the first tower in its Seasons by Cube project, totalling over $40 million in sales.

Comprising 54 two and three-bedroom apartments, the first eight-storey tower was launched to market six months ago and has seen a diverse buyer mix, with first home purchasers, investors, downsizers and interstate buyers all moving quickly on the opportunity to purchase off the plan.

Over 30 per cent of the second tower has already been secured since its launch prior to Christmas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106957 project_image_fid=184864]

Director Scott Juniper noted the team have also seen a spike in local downsizers to the project.

&ldquo;Empty nesters from Buddina and the neighbouring area are capitalising on a market where they can sell their existing residence as a million dollar knockdown and opt for an oceanside apartment.

&ldquo;Three-bedroom units have been particularly popular in the most recent release due to being priced at under $750,000, making them appealing to this type of buyer.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106957 project_image_fid=184867]

&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve also sold two of the three penthouses, one to a local buyer from the neighbouring area for $1.5 million, and given the expansiveness and inclusions of these modern residences, we expect the final penthouse to move quickly too.&rdquo;

Seasons&rsquo; Tower Two offers fewer apartments per floor to Tower One, including ground floor residences, while Tower One houses the elaborate suite of amenities including a fully equipped gym, yoga studio, spa and sauna on the ground level.

Upon completion, the Cottee Parker-designed project will make up around 148 apartments set over three eight-storey towers.

Cube Developments sell out first tower in Sunshine Coast apartment development, Seasons Birtinya

Seasons Birtinya, on the Sunshine Coast, has proved to be popular with all demographics, as Cube, one of the area&#39;s most well-regarded developments, put together a development which was both design driven and price led.

Cube had their go-to architecture firm, Cottee Parker Architects, who have designed the developer&#39;s most high end stock in the area, create Seasons, with the overarching design principles to connect residents to the local community and to differentiate the design from its neighbours.

Priced from $499,000, the apartments have been a hit with first home buyers, local and interstate investors, as well as downsizers.

Urban recently spoke to Sandra Browne, director at Cottee Parker,&nbsp;to discuss the design ideas behind Seasons.

JR: What was the brief from Cube for Seasons? What were the key features that were essential?&nbsp;​

SB: The&nbsp;brief was to create a unique and elevated &#39;Work Rest Play&#39; environment in response to the post COVID lifestyle shift, with leading amenity for the Sunshine Coast.

JR: Was there a project that inspired you in the design?

SB: We&nbsp;initially&nbsp;drew inspiration from some&nbsp;inner-city&nbsp;Melbourne projects, and&nbsp;then evolved and adapted these to speak to the Sunshine Coast lifestyle -&nbsp;with a point of difference being an enormous amount of amenity to take advantage of the weather, the adventure and a&nbsp;sense&nbsp;of health and wellbeing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106957 project_image_fid=184863]

JR: What were the most important features of the site/location which influenced your design?

SB: Its position on Lake Ka​wana alongside the ocean&nbsp;and&nbsp;hinterland views - these factors heavily influenced the design and vision which ultimately&nbsp;culminated&nbsp;in in utilising lots of natural light and in building three individual towers with central cores.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106957 project_image_fid=184864]

JR: What was the biggest challenge in the design of Seasons?

SB: The unique shape of the site and balance area left over from Stage 1&nbsp;proved a challenge when&nbsp;placing amenity destinations throughout the common areas.

JR: How do you approach designing a three-tower development?

We engaged Cottee Parker architects to ensure our building design captured all views on offer with lots of natural light as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;appealing to a variety of purchasers through the right apartment mix.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106957 project_image_fid=184866]

JR: What part of the design are you most proud of/ most looking forward to seeing when the towers are completed?

SB: Looking forward to seeing the terrace apartments of Stage One as well as seeing the three apartment towers work together as an integrated precinct.

How the Sunshine Coast apartment development, Seasons Birtinya, was designed: Five minutes with Cottee Parker's Sandra Browne

The Sunshine Coast developer, Cube Developments, has appointed National Construction Management to start building their luxury Maroochydore apartment development, Nature.

It will be NCM&#39;s third Cube build, following the now complete Curve Birtinya and the currently under construction Picasso apartment development in Mooloolaba.

Nature, located in the small waterfront suburb of Cotton Tree,&nbsp;was originally pinned for 13 opulent residences set over eight-storeys, but has dropped to 12 following a &lsquo;mega apartment&rsquo; amalgamation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89721 project_image_fid=172108]

To date, Nature by Cube has sold close to $39 million worth of apartments off-the-plan with all but one snapped up, including the sale of the enormous $7 million penthouse; a record price for the developer&rsquo;s portfolio.

Designed by Cottee Parker, Nature boasts a host&nbsp;resort-style amenities, including a 25-meter lap pool, gym, steam room and spa, yoga lawn, gardens, greenspaces and sun lounging areas - all programmed into a ground floor activity space.

Cube Development&rsquo;s Director Scott Juniper said it was a significant milestone to be starting construction, following the project&rsquo;s DA approval in July and the near sell-out success.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89721 project_image_fid=172109]

&ldquo;Nature will be home to some of the most luxurious apartments the Sunshine Coast has seen and we believe NCM has the capabilities and track record to deliver on this, including the bespoke nature of these apartments following amalgamations and customisations.&rdquo;

Director at Cottee Parker, Sandra Browne, said the quality of architecture far exceeds what is offered in the surrounding market.

&ldquo;We wanted to deliver a product that stood out amongst the crowd in terms of amenity, as well as being of a higher architectural spec and with an unrivalled, premium aesthetic.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89721 project_image_fid=172107]

&ldquo;The materiality of the building and the expansiveness of the open&nbsp;glass facade and viewing speaks to a quality of architecture that exceeds what is offered in the surrounding market,&rdquo; she said.

Construction on Nature by Cube is due to commence in the coming weeks and is scheduled to be complete by 2023.

One apartment remains for sale, priced from $3.5 million.

Cube to start building luxury Cotton Tree, Maroochydore apartment development, Nature

The prominent Sunshine Coast developer, Cube Developments, has bolstered its 2022 pipeline, securing four super lots in the growing Bir​tinya area.

The near 9,000 sqm Cardinal Place site will host up to 245 apartments, adding a further $100 million to Cube&#39;s Birtinya portfolio.

Cube Developments Director Scott Juniper said that he expected the new sites to relieve the pressure currently experienced in the Sunshine Coast housing market.

&ldquo;Our commitment to the Sunshine Coast is resolute and has culminated in a site where we can rapidly cater to the strong demand that we&rsquo;re experiencing,&rdquo; Juniper said.

&ldquo;For us, Birti​nya was the perfect location - it&rsquo;s one of the fastest growing suburbs on the coast and the site itself is nestled in the Birtinya Business Village, adjacent from the Town Centre and of course benefitting from stunning Lake Ka​wana with its waterfront vantage.

&ldquo;The property is just 20 minutes from Marooc​hydore and Cal​oundra, 30 minutes from the Sunshine Coast Airport and just over an hour to land you in Brisbane CBD.&rdquo;

Cube&#39;s already solid Birtinya portfolio includes&nbsp;Seasons by Birtinya, a three-tower, 146-apartment project in its second stage release.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106957 project_image_fid=184863]

That&#39;s proved popular with&nbsp;first home buyers and investors, who were been attracted to&nbsp;the affordable $499,000 entry point for a two-bedroom apartment in the Cottee Park-designed development.

Juniper said there was significant interest due to&nbsp;the project&#39;s plethora of amenities and location.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve witnessed strong uptake from both first home buyers and investors who are drawn to Seasons&rsquo; amenities, which provides incredible value for money given the price point,&quot; Juniper says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106957 project_image_fid=184875]

&ldquo;All while being located in the heart of it all,&nbsp;Bir​tinya&nbsp;is really starting to come into its own; residents will enjoy waterfront vistas, beach access is just moments away and as it is a relatively new suburb, it has fantastic infrastructure to cater to demand.&rdquo;

Amenities include outdoor BBQ and gathering spaces, private dining room, lounging areas, sun decks, a 25-metre lap pool, fully equipped gym, yoga studio, spa and sauna.

Cube also has the&nbsp;50 sold-out lakeside residences at One Prosperity and the completed, 55-dwelling Curve project.

Cube has recently delivered Beach Life at Alexandra Headland project Beach Life, which settled at the start of this year, and its boutique Mooloolaba project Picasso is due for completion by mid next year.

Cube Developments set for further Birtinya apartment development

The prominent Sunshine Coast developer, Cube Developments, has lodged plans for its latest apartment development.

They&#39;ll be creating Oasis Apartments, just 56 apartments across three buildings at Bokarina Beach, a site they acquired earlier in the year.

At the time of purchase, Cube Director Scott Juniper said the&nbsp;3,215 sqm block, located between Calounda and Mooloolaba and adjacent to&nbsp;Bokarina Beach, was earmarked for a six level apartment building of up to 75 apartments.

<a href="/new-apartments/oasis-apartments-bokarina-25-kombi-street-bokarina">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

But Juniper wanted to go the other way, planning something more boutique which would offer&nbsp;a point of difference to the other developments in the masterplan.

<img alt="" height="657" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/oasis_apartments_bokorina_3.jpg" width="1200" />

&quot;Three of the five sites nearby are under construction and are quite large scale, large built form projects, some with over 100 units,&quot; Juniper said, adding that those developments will have ground floor activation.

&quot;We&#39;re looking to go boutique, with larger format units, and really build to the strength of what&nbsp;Bokarina has become,&quot; Juniper said.

They had local architect Cameron Sheedy put together the plans for the 56 apartments, a maximum of four apartments per level. Each building rises six storeys.

There are six two-level penthouses, each with at least three-bedrooms plus a multipurpose room. The biggest penthouse has four bedrooms. They range from 160 sqm to 242 sqm, and feature their own rooftop terraces with a private lap pool.

A wave of local and interstate high-rollers have pinpointed the Sunshine Coast apartment market, with the local apartment developer, Cube Developments, seeing huge success at their&nbsp;Maroochydore apartment development, Nature by Cube.

Over three quarters of the luxury development has sold since it achieved development approval in August, totalling $32 million worth of sales to date.

Nature by Cube, on the dress circle The Esplanade,&nbsp;was pinned for 13 luxury apartments across eight-levels, crowned by an expansive 475 sqm penthouse.

But buyers have been keen on replicating the penthouse scale and level of luxury across the lower levels, combining two apartments to create the bigger space, with six bedrooms being combined.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89721 project_image_fid=172109]

Cube Developments Director Scott Juniper says&nbsp;that buyers are moving to the area and are looking to maintain inner-city luxuries alongside a post-COVID lifestyle shift.

&ldquo;Buyers are seeking to achieve the best of both worlds - the open-air and relaxed lifestyle that the Sunshine Coast offers, coupled with a high-end home that is on par with their Brisbane,&nbsp;Sydney or Melbourne residence,&rdquo; Juniper said.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re meeting the need with a flexible design and build model that is culminating in homes that are far from cookie cutter and truly bespoke; we&rsquo;re creating something that you&rsquo;ve never seen before.&rdquo;

The mega-apartments span full floors and will feature&nbsp;seven-metre frontage living with enormous semi-outdoor entertaining and kitchen spaces, as well as two dining areas, a private wine cellar, beverage service bar and multiple home offices.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89721 project_image_fid=172105]

The penthouse was secured&nbsp;for nearly $7 million.

Architecture firm Cottee Parker designed the development, with Juniper&#39;s brief simple: &#39;We want the best the Sunshine Coast has ever seen.&#39;

Cottee Parker Director Sandra Browne said the expansive design of the sky home has been fashioned to retain waterfront views across the master bedroom and communal living spaces, with an architectural spec which has not yet been seen on the Sunshine Coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89721 project_image_fid=172106]

&ldquo;This is the largest penthouse that we&rsquo;ve been part of creating in the area, and is within the top of Cottee Parker&rsquo;s national portfolio in terms of its sheer size,&rdquo; Browne said.

&ldquo;We have certainly taken advantage of this to capture the views - which are nothing short of spectacular, and maximise the frontage over the water.&quot;

Only three apartments at Nature by Cube remain, and are priced from $2.95 million.
