Perth’s new apartment market recorded its strongest quarter of sales since Q4 2021, with 412 apartments sold in Q1 2026 and a record quarterly sold value of $537 million, according to Urbis’ latest Apartment Essentials results.

Urbis said the March quarter result reflects strong, highly product‑specific demand across both ends of the market, from more attainable projects delivering at scale, through to premium stock being absorbed by equity‑rich downsizers.&nbsp;

David Cresp, Partner at Urbis, said the key story in Perth is not demand, it is the market’s ability to convert demand into delivered housing.&nbsp;

“This is the strongest sales quarter since Q4 2021, and it reinforces that demand in Perth is real and it’s local,” David Cresp said. “But the task now is delivery, turning that demand into projects that can actually be built and completed.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=302785]

<h2>Affordable product leads, premium demand remains resilient</h2>

Sales in Q1 were led by more affordable projects, with The Boulevard (SKS Group) recording 115 sales in the quarter, the presentation noting this is only the second time a single project has surpassed 100 quarterly sales. The project was able to offer more affordable housing product right next to a train station.&nbsp;

Palmyra West (Finbar) also delivered strong results with 28 sales in Q1, following 84 sales in Q4, with an average price of under $800,000, underscoring depth of demand for well‑located, attainable new stock.&nbsp;

At the premium end, Urbis said downsizer demand is continuing, with the results highlighting Romeo (Applecross, Finbar) recording 75 sales and reaching almost 50% sold in one quarter.

Jual (Shenton Park, Celsius Property) also posted a strong quarter with 28 sales, reaching 39% sold in one quarter.

Urbis noted that Perth apartment demand is not speculative, not investor‑led, and not uniform, describing it as localised, often equity‑driven and highly product‑specific, a pattern reflected in the polarisation between strong “attainable” performers and premium downsizer product.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148957 project_image_fid=364102]

<h2>Prices underpinned by costs, and the delivery risk is growing</h2>

Urbis said pricing pressure is cost not demand‑driven: construction costs and delivery risk are now a central constraint, with the results noting build costs remain elevated and volatile, and that energy, fuel and labour uncertainty weigh on feasibility.

David Cresp said a growing challenge for private Build‑to‑Sell developers is simply securing a builder in the current environment.

“Developers are really feeling the pressure from a building market that was operating at capacity and securing a builder is challenging,” David Cresp said, adding that even where a builder can be secured, “trying to get to the price that makes the development financially viable is incredibly challenging in the current market.”&nbsp;

Urbis’ broader WA commentary also notes that industry remains at or above capacity with lot and housing creation, and that many builders are limiting new sales to manage stretched workforces and fixed‑price contract pressures, conditions that flow directly into apartment feasibility and delivery timing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108869 project_image_fid=317905]

<h2>Supply: improving later, but still constrained, and Perth lags eastern benchmarks</h2>

While near‑term supply remains constrained, Urbis’ forecast shows completions lifting “Supply is forecast to be back above 1,500 apartments per annum for the first time since 2019”, with 1,775 completions forecast for 2026, and volumes remaining above that level over the following years.&nbsp;

Looking further ahead, completions are forecast to reach 2,500 in 2028, with the report noting 32% of that total is social/affordable, reflecting the role of government‑supported delivery in rebuilding the pipeline.&nbsp;

However, Urbis said Perth remains behind comparable markets on pipeline scale. In a national comparison of projects under construction, the report shows under construction Perth Build‑to‑Sell (BTS) at 3,446 apartments versus the Gold Coast at 7,922. Mr Cresp said “The challenge for Perth is how to we grow the delivery pipeline”.

Urbis’ conclusion is that Perth’s market is increasingly defined by product discipline and delivery certainty, with the research identifying “delivery certainty is key” and calling out builder risk and procurement models as core success factors, alongside “timing and staging”.&nbsp;

Perth apartment sales hit strongest pace since late 2021 as builder capacity tightens

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sammut-developments">Sammut Group</a> has secured development approval for its latest Brisbane apartment project, marking the Sydney developer’s next step in expanding its Queensland pipeline following the success of its debut Gold Coast development, Coast.

The approved project at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/44-glen-road-toowong-qld-4066">44 Glen Road, </a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a> will deliver a 15-storey riverfront apartment building with 42 residences, significantly increasing the scale of the site’s previous approval for a smaller luxury scheme. Designed by Bureau^proberts, the development will comprise a mix of predominantly four-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments positioned to maximise Brisbane River and city views.

Sammut Director Julian Sammut said the group had been actively searching Brisbane for several years before identifying Toowong as the right fit.

“Brisbane was the right step for Sammut,” Sammut said.

“With the success of Coast we thought we should definitely look to do more in Queensland alone. We then pushed up to look at Brisbane. We've been looking for I'd say two to three years actually and it was hard to find the right location.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.14%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dYAVIL7qdcGA8ojvkslSrLjczXFejSSx" />

Sammut said suburbs including New Farm and Teneriffe were considered before the group ultimately focused on Toowong due to its strong downsizer demographic and limited supply of developable riverfront land.

The site was acquired off-market after what Sammut described as a lengthy negotiation and planning process, with the developer pursuing an uplift to the original approval.

“We are DA approved now which is very exciting,” Sammut said.

“We've had our change approval come through and we've obviously doubled the height, 15 storeys plus rooftop. We've got 42 amazing apartments that are going to be coming to market soon.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ohkRkY0dIZlqdfME2EZePsCQavRiBadE" />

Bureau^proberts said the design responds to Toowong’s evolving urban character, balancing contemporary apartment living with the area’s established residential identity.

“A place where traditional Queensland living has taken place for centuries; Toowong is seeing a shift of contemporary influence, commercial and retail hubs mixed with well-considered residential offerings – all the while maintaining its character and charm,” the architect noted in planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council.

The architecture practice said the project’s form was shaped by its riverfront setting, flood considerations, neighbouring building scales, and view corridors.

“They said the mix of four and two-bedroom apartments capture the ‘fundamental qualities of Queenslander living,’ translated into the context of a contemporary subtropical building.”

The development sits just off Coronation Drive within walking distance of Toowong’s retail precinct and the upgraded Regatta ferry terminal, while also benefiting from proximity to the incoming green bridge connection to West End. Sammut said the accessibility and amenity offering were central to the site’s appeal.

The approval adds to growing residential activity along the Toowong riverfront, joining nearby projects including Consolidated Properties’ Monarch Residences and Spyre Group’s ARC Residences.

Sammut secures approval for debut Brisbane apartment development in Toowong

Developer Lanevick is heading back into Sydney’s apartment market after focusing more heavily on the luxury townhouse and terrace sector in recent years.

Lanevick, founded and directed by Steve Maroun, is expecting to receive approval in the coming months for a new apartment development in Gladesville, with the aim to launch it to the market later this year.

The 51-apartment project, designed by Studio Johnston, will comprise a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments positioned toward the Hunters Hill downsizer market.

“Traditionally it’s been difficult for people in that market to downsize because there just hasn’t been the right product available,” Maroun said.

“We’re targeting buyers who might have 30 to 40 per cent of their house value sitting in the bank after downsizing.

“They still want good spacious entertaining areas, they still want quality design, but they also want flexibility and the ability to enjoy life a bit more after working hard for a long time.”

The project sits near Boronia Park and within close proximity to the Parramatta River foreshore, an area Maroun says offers more of a Hunters Hill lifestyle than a traditional apartment precinct.

“From a lifestyle perspective, it’s really more Hunters Hill than Gladesville,” Maroun said. “You’re close to the foreshore, close to parklands, and still connected back into the village precinct.”

From level four and above, apartments will capture water views&nbsp;toward Sydney Harbour. Communal amenity will include rooftop entertaining areas, wellness spaces, and a gym tailored toward owner-occupier buyers.

“We’ve really designed these apartments around that buyer coming from the Hunters Hill LGA and what they’re actually looking for in their next chapter.”

The proposed development has also been designed to respond to the changing character of the broader Gladesville town centre, where a growing number of mixed-use and residential proposals are expected to emerge over the coming years.

“Gladesville presented a rare opportunity to deliver a genuinely design-led residential project within an evolving lifestyle precinct, just moments from the growing Gladesville town centre, and we’ve approached the project with a strong focus on architecture, liveability and long-term community value,” Maroun said.

Maroun said Lanevick saw a first-mover advantage within the precinct as planning controls continue to evolve to accommodate greater housing density.

“We think there’s a real opportunity there that hasn’t really been serviced properly yet,” he said.

“There’s going to be a broader evolution of the whole Gladesville village precinct over time, particularly with more activation and mixed-use outcomes.”

The Venus Street proposal will include a commercial and retail component at ground level designed to contribute to that evolving streetscape activation.

“A big part of the thinking was how do you activate that area properly and create more vibrancy and amenity, which is what Hunters Hill has been looking for,” Maroun said.

Lanevick’s focus since 2020 has largely been on smaller-scale luxury townhouse and terrace developments. The developer recently completed Royale Randwick, also designed by Studio Johnston, where prices reached $3.65 million. The project was featured in the UDIA NSW 2026 Professional Development Prospectus and was also named a finalist for Development of the Year.

Lanevick to cater for Hunters Hill downsizers with new Gladesville apartment development

Property developer One Living, backed by former Macquarie banker turned investment manager Chris Green’s investment firm, has unveiled plans to bring more institutional capital into housing to help address the national supply crisis.

The New York-based investor has focused his firm, GreenPoint Partners, on addressing the supply shortage hitting middle market housing in Australia.

It is backing the new One Living business to develop more than 1000 units along the eastern seaboard. The new firm is starting with a development on Mona Vale Road, on the border of Mona Vale and Pymble, in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, with around 140 apartments planned. They are eyeing off more sites across the city.

With cost pressures rising in the industry, One Living’s model is to be a vertically integrated developer-builder, so it can respond directly to the housing gap by removing the cost inefficiencies embedded in traditional residential delivery.

“We are building a platform designed to operate at scale and starting in a market where there’s a clear need for quality, attainable housing,” One Living joint managing director Joseph Scuderi said.

“It’s that missing middle – it’s that attainable end of housing… that’s what most Australians invest into and what Australians can actually afford.”

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="798dfa93-4941-4db6-a696-31e9dc18e81c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.31.50%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=mKBqi5C_DmeiXS.AtJkcR8LQIxqCqmFi" />

GreenPoint Partners brings years of experience assembling and scaling real estate operating businesses across major markets. And Green sees a big opportunity in Australia.

“For its size, sophistication and importance to the community, Australia’s living sector has remained largely under-institutionalised, which represents significant opportunity,” Green said. “GreenPoint identified that gap, assembled the right team, and is backing One Living to build a platform that is aligned to market needs.”

Green said being a builder-developer would give the company the capacity and flexibility it required to deliver reasonably-priced homes.

“We want it to be at that attainable level; not super high end luxury but at that attainable level,” he said.

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="74a5344a-4b26-4d4a-ada3-056b1220be77" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.32.15%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=vY8hXHO4reBMdO8ZXMWCNtGZJofUPQ3j" />

&nbsp;

One Living will undertake a component of affordable housing in its schemes, which it will own and operate, and it could also run build-to-rent on some sites.

Green praised local policy settings.

“The NSW government is being very supportive, strategic and pragmatic in terms of how do we generate more supply of housing,” he said. “We think it’s actually positive for development and the bit that’s been lacking at that attainable level is that it’s lots of relatively small private developers, whereas we want to create an institutional platform.”

One Living is also&nbsp;looking at high-density projects and could take on more institutional funding in the future.

“The way we will be able to achieve economies of scale is through size,” Green added.

One Living enters Sydney's new apartment market with Northern Beaches site acquisition

It's been several years since there's been an opportunity to buy a brand new townhome in Melbourne's coastal suburb of Mordialloc. Even apartment developments in recent times have been few and far between in the area.

Local developer LDS Property identified the gap in new housing, securing a site on White Street, directly opposite&nbsp;Woodlands Golf Club Mordialloc. They've recently launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/wm-residences-mordialloc-102-white-street-mordialloc-vic-3195">WM Residences</a>, just 13 townhouses which they have already started building.

Projects by Buxton Director Heath Thompson, who is selling WM Residences, says the townhouses x that perfect middle ground be

"Mordialloc residents have had limited options to downsize within the suburb, often forcing them to look elsewhere despite long-standing ties to the area," Thompson says.

"With very little comparable new supply coming to market, projects like WM Residences are well placed, particularly as buyers look to capitalise on current conditions amid constrained supply."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6109]

The development, designed by regarded architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ewert-leaf">Ewert Leaf</a>,&nbsp;adopts a deliberately restrained architectural approach, focusing on simplicity, durability and liveability rather than overt design gestures.

The boutique scale is central to the offering. With only 13 three-bedroom residences, each home is configured to prioritise functional layouts and everyday use, supported by private terraces and secure two-car garages.

Ewert Leaf’s design response leans into a calm, neutral material palette. Interiors are defined by oak flooring, white walls and soft finishes, creating a consistent and understated backdrop. The approach avoids trend-driven detailing in favour of longevity, with an emphasis on natural light and spatial clarity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6110]

Beyond aesthetics, the homes are designed to meet contemporary performance expectations. Each residence targets a minimum 6-star energy rating, incorporating double glazing, comprehensive insulation and all-electric Bosch appliances.

The project’s location supports a walkable coastal lifestyle, sitting within close proximity to Mordialloc’s foreshore, Main Street retail strip and the train station. Local cafés and dining venues, including Suburbia Deli and Hendriks Café, are within a short walk, reinforcing the area’s established neighbourhood character.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6116]

While <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/mordialloc-vic-3195">Mordialloc</a> is often defined by its beach and pier, the project taps into other areas of day to day living, offering easy access to local food, casual dining and transport, rather than positioning itself purely as a lifestyle retreat.

WM Residences reflects a continued trend across Melbourne’s coastal suburbs towards smaller-scale, design-led townhouse developments, particularly on infill sites where proximity to amenity is already established.

With construction commenced prior to its market entry, the project aligns with a growing preference among buyers for developments with visible progress and defined delivery timeframes.

A possible development site in South Yarra's Forest Hill has sold to a Hong Kong purchaser for $14.6 million - a new record for unpermitted sites in the street.
The 1,030sqm site at 6-8 Claremont Street is currently occupied by the Victorian Aids Council, who will continue to operate in the premises for the short term.
CBRE’s Mark Wizel, Josh Rutman, Julian White and Scott Orchard negotiated the sale through public expression of interest under instruction from transaction managers Nick Moore and Marcus Conabere of real estate advisory firm Urbis. 
Josh Rutman said apartment developments in the area have been sold at strong sales rates to a mixture of owner occupiers and investors, both local and offshore.
“We have been fortunate to handle the past seven development site transactions in the Forrest Hill precinct, and given the new record land rate achieved it is fair to say that we are now seeing a whole new level of confidence from local and offshore groups, especially off the back of the apartment pre-sale success that many developers are continuing to experience in the precinct,” he said.

Abacus Property Group has sold its Doncaster development site to the Chinese group Jinshan Investments for $22.6 million. 
The site at <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-land+development-vic-doncaster-501604049" target="_blank">682-684 and 686 Doncaster Road</a> is 300 metres from Westfield Doncaster.
The 4245-square-metre parcel of land is approved for 296 apartments.
It has a permit for an 11-storey building and 519 sq m of retail space.
Jinshan is best known for its controversial acquisition of Melbourne's Palace Theatre, formerly the Metro Nightclub, with plans of turning it into a Starwood W Hotel. 
The listed investor Abacus Property Group, with its joint venture partner Crema Group, expected $20 million-plus offers, the Australian Financial Review suggested last month for the residential development site perched on Doncaster Hill, in the heart of Melbourne's leafy eastern suburban belt.
Their permit allows for an 11-level building, designed by Peddle Thorp Architects.
The syndicate paid $11.55 million in April last year, then $5,225,000 in March this year for next door.

Getting a development project off the ground is one thing, but keeping the momentum right until the end is another. It's important to stay focussed as there is a lot of work to hand but it's also good to take some time to reflect on what you've achieved. 
There are several major milestones that Property Bloom likes to celebrate along the way with our clients and I thought I'd share them with you:
1. finding a good site
This is definitely cause for celebration as a good development site can be hard to come by. We look for wide frontages, slight slope to street or to the rear IF there is a drainage easement and sewer located at the rear, good aspect and of course in a great location within a diverse economic area. It can be hard to tick all the boxes. 
This week I was offered a site that was described as "outstanding". After reviewing the contract I found  the house that was located on the land, and more than likely needed to be moved, was heritage listed. The site had a 2m fall from front to rear and the sewer was located about a quarter of the way down the site, so to get the sewer from the rear up to the line an expensive pump system would need to be designed. There was no stormwater easement or drainage pits in the rear and finally, the piece de résistance, it was flood prone! No celebrations going on here.
2. finding good sales references to support your feasibility.
It is important to have good sales reference to guide you in estimating what the end values of the dwellings you are building may be. If there are good comparable sales then this will support your feasibility.  A strong feasibility is a good starting point. 
3. receiving your Development Application consent - we always do a little jig around the office when we have that very important document - the Consent - in our hot little hands. This represents a big milestone as there is a lot of work behind you at this stage and you have now added extra value to the property/land with the issue of the Consent. 
4. finalising your finance and receiving the bank's unconditional approval. This is no mean feat, particularly in today's environment. Getting your construction finance in place involves a mountain of paperwork and working closely with a good broker/banker.  A little fist pump is required when you open the authority to commence construction letter that your bank will send out as soon as your loan is settled and in place. 
5. laying of the slab. There's an old Aussie saying... drink a  slab when you lay a slab. Slab being slang for a case of beer!  Well I don't recommend celebrating to that extent and of course there's no alcohol consumed on building sites. However, the feeling you get seeing a slab completed amazing because it means that you've passed through the sometimes challenging site preparation, piering and retaining works which are all areas where hidden costs can arise (like hitting rock!). You can now see your project taking shape physically. 
6. Receiving the Occupation Certificate. With the issue of the Occupation Certificate your project is complete.  It's been passed by council or your private certifier and you can now tenant it, live in it or sell it. This is where you should stand back and savour that momentous occasion. 
Taking time to acknowledge some of the major milestones of your property development will help you come out the other side with a smile on your face and anyway, who doesn't like a little celebration now and then?

Westfield Corporation Funds From Operations (FFO) for the six months ending 30 June 2015 hit $380m, representing 18.3 cents per security and in-line with forecast.
Westfield Corporation Co-CEOs, Peter Lowy and Steven Lowy AM said this year the company expects to commence $2.5bn of projects, having already commenced $1.6bn of redevelopments to-date in 2015 including Century City in Los Angeles and UTC in San Diego, with the expansion at Westfield London expected to commence later this year.
"The benefits of our restructure last year can be seen in the significant progress being made on our $11.4bn development program,” they said.
 “The performance of WFD’s pre-eminent portfolio remains strong. 
“Our investment in the development program, which also comprises Westfield World Trade Center in New York and Valley Fair in Silicon Valley, is expected to create significant long-term value for security holders. Our capital investment is almost entirely weighted towards our Flagship assets, with estimated development yields in the range of 7% - 8%. Upon completion of these projects, we expect WFD’s Flagship assets will represent 85% - 90% of the total portfolio and our business will be more evenly weighted between the US and UK/Europe.”
Westfield's comparable net operating income growth was 4.2% for the six months with the portfolio 95.0% leased as at 30 June 2015. The Flagship portfolio achieved comparable net operating income growth of 4.3% for the six months with the Regional portfolio growing by 3.9%.
Westfield reconfirmed its FFO forecast for the 2015 year of 37.7 cents per security

A development site with a three-bedroom house in Glen Waverley sold for a record $6 million at weekend auction.
The 1538 square metre knock-down at <a href="https://www.domain.com.au/sold/17-marriott-parade-glen-waverley-vic-3150-2011885791" target="_blank">17 Marriott Parade</a> was advertised as a "great opportunity for a four-storey apartment complex". 
Documents from the Victorian land titles office show the property last sold for $4.71 million on June 19, 2015, to Marriott Pty Ltd, with Fen Gao listed as the director.
"The gentlemen bought and either changed his mind or had other projects in mind he wanted to focus on and put it back on the market," Barry Plant agent Tony Ievoli told Fairfax Media.
 Tony Ievoli said the recent approval of a major redevelopment of The Glen shopping centre nearby may have added impetus to the bidding.

Home builder AV Jennings has hit out at stamp duty, which it said was holding up construction and adding to housing costs. 
Chief executive Peter Summers made the comments in announcing the company’s $48.2 million before-tax profit for the 2015 financial year, which was up 78.3% on 2014.
The profit increase was driven by improving residential markets, which lifted revenue by 26.9% to $317.9 million. But Summers said recent activity in new housing markets followed a sustained downturn in sales and a lack of supply in many markets. 
He blamed stamp duty for contributing to housing costs and called for debate on the tax.
“The company has for many years talked about the impact of government charges and taxes and the cost of red tape causing delays that are impacting affordability,” Summers said. 
While price growth has been strong in some markets such as Sydney and Melbourne, AV Jennings noted in its annual report that price growth had been “more muted” in the markets in which it operates.
“It has been disappointing to see that much of the commentary on the housing market has focussed on extreme examples or specific micro-markets, such as parts of inner Sydney, which are then extrapolated into the rest of the Australian market,” Summers said. 
Residential markets in South Australia and Western Australia were subdued. Demand and supply were balanced in the mid-to-outer areas of Melbourne where the company has developments, and prices were firming in Brisbane, Noosa, Caloundra and Coomera in Queensland the company noted. 
AV Jennings sells most of the homes it develops to domestic buyers and owner occupiers. It settled 1538 lots in the 2015 financial year, up 22.6% on the previous year. It said it expected to end the 2016 financial year with contracts signed for 1800 to 2100 lots.
It paid dividends of 4 cents per share, fully franked, for the full year and said in future it would pay out 40-50% of after-tax net profit.

An apartment site opposite Melbourne's Elwood Beach with a pre-approved permit to build a luxury four level 23 unit complex is up for sale with expectations of $6 million plus.
The <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-land+development-vic-elwood-501662765" target="_blank">47 Ormond Esplanade Elwood</a> property is on a 909sqm site and is being sold through expressions of interest closing Wednesday, September 9 at 2pm.
Savills marketing agent Julian Heatherich said the property has uninterrupted bay views, and easy access to Elwood Beach and local recreation trails.
"Over 90 enquires in the first 2 days of the campaign is a testament to the truly rare beachfront development opportunity within one of Melbourne’s most popular bayside suburbs,’’ he said.  
"This is an exceptionally well located site, ideal for an apartment development within easy walking distance of Elwood Village retail precinct, with direct proximity to Elwood Park and Elsternwick Park and within easy reach of Elsternwick train station and the Nepean Highway providing direct access to the CBD."

Leasing of the 1,650sqm Lakelands Tavern, inside the Perth's suburban Lakelands Private Estate, has been handed to CBRE Hotels.
The tavern is due for completion in 2017 and is offered on a 20-year lease with expression of interest closing Thursday September 10, 2015. 
Peet’s Lakelands Private Estate already has around 1,400 households, with another 1,000 to follow. 
CBRE Hotels’ Ryan McGinnity said with limited competition nearby, the Lakelands Tavern will be ideally positioned to take advantage of the growing residential population.
“This tavern represents an outstanding opportunity to gain a strategic footprint in one of the state’s fastest growing residential localities,” he said. 
“This new centre will capitalise on the projected growth of the Lakelands area, which is earmarked to have a population of more than 45,000 by 2021."
