<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> has lodged plans for a $750 million, three-tower mixed-use precinct that would complete the long-running redevelopment of Carlton's former Carlton United Breweries site.

The proposal at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/185-195-queensberry-street-carlton-vic-3053">46-78 Bouverie Street and 185-195 Queensberry Street</a> spans a 6,468 sqm site, the last remaining undeveloped parcels within the former brewery's 2007 masterplan.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the development will comprise two purpose-built student accommodation towers and a third build-to-sell apartment tower above a shared commercial podium and basement.

Across the three towers, SP Setia is proposing 606 build-to-sell apartments and 1,499 student accommodation units containing 2,009 beds.

The apartments will sit in the tallest tower, which will rise nearly 200m and 55 storeys. It will become&nbsp;one of the more substantial new build-to-sell apartment projects at the northern edge of Melbourne's CBD.

The apartment mix is weighted toward smaller inner-city product, with 188 studios, 206 one-bedroom apartments, 192 two-bedroom apartments and 20 three-bedroom apartments

<img alt="First look: SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8271bc87-1b0a-41b7-ac73-a425ee375261" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/3_2.png?VersionId=G4lw23o90B1boX4k4dj7rdz2ZEajS9wy" />

Part of the precinct will be a large-scale&nbsp;3,684 sqm supermarket and a further 2,198 sqm of speciality retail, creating close to 5,900 sqm of new commercial space within the precinct.

But one of the biggest components of the proposal is what sits between the buildings.

Around 4,650 sqm, or roughly 72 per cent of the site, will be publicly accessible open space, incorporating plazas, pedestrian connections, landscaped laneways and retail spill-out areas.

The ground plane is intended to finally complete pedestrian connections envisaged when the CUB masterplan was first approved nearly two decades ago, stitching together Victoria Street, Queensberry Street, Bouverie Street and Swanston Street through the former brewery precinct.

Urbis said the development would "complete the CUB precinct", with the public realm providing important north-south and east-west connections through what is currently the final undeveloped portion of the masterplanned site.

SP Setia is also exploring a new linear park within the Bouverie Street road reserve, with the concept to be developed further with the City of Melbourne through the planning process.

The proposal is being pursued through the Victorian Government's Development Facilitation Program under Clause 53.23 for significant residential development with affordable housing.

The planning report acknowledges the proposed heights exceed those contemplated under the original Comprehensive Development Plan and masterplan, but argues the built-form context has changed considerably over the past two decades.

Urbis said the three towers would instead create a stepped transition between Carlton and the Hoddle Grid, rising progressively from the 94.1-metre Tower One along the Queensberry Street edge to the 199.44-metre Tower Three closer to the established CBD-scale buildings to the south.

<img alt="SP Setia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e885a07a-592c-40fc-bf82-e6dbaf32da54" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.52.24%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7s_ErUkSKAdY1mAWp3GRZgMNCGtwhk5m" />

SP Setia plans to deliver the development across three stages.

Stage One would deliver the basement, podium and retail areas for the entire precinct alongside the first student tower. Tower Two would follow in Stage Two, before the 606-apartment Tower Three is delivered as the final stage.

If approved and delivered, the project would close out a redevelopment process that has been underway since the former brewery masterplan was approved in 2007, adding more than 2,600 student beds and apartments to a precinct already home to Swanston Central, the Barak Building, RMIT Design Hub and several large student accommodation developments.

SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct

Melbourne developer Lowe Living is seeking to add to its growing bayside apartment pipeline, filing plans for a boutique eight-residence development in tightly held Middle Park.

Lowe Living, which has built much of its development portfolio across Melbourne's affluent bayside and south-east suburbs, is behind the plans for the 730 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/123-125-erskine-street-middle-park-vic-3206">123-125 Erskine Street</a>, just off Armstrong Street and within the Armstrong Street Neighbourhood Activity Centre.

The developer is seeking approval for a five-storey residential building above two basement levels, with just eight large-format apartments and 18 car spaces.

“This is a deliberately very different proposition for us,"&nbsp;Tim Lowe, Co-Founder of Lowe Living, said.

"Eight residences is exceptionally boutique, but that's precisely what this site calls for.

“There is a strong community in Middle Park and the surrounding suburbs who have spent decades building a life here. They no longer want the maintenance of a large period home, but they aren't prepared to compromise on space, quality or location. We think there is a real opportunity to capture that hyper local market. A site like this rarely comes to market.”

<img alt="Lowe " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="875fe572-0f14-4d90-9e11-55b28dd07731" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.42.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=GDNQRv9BfpR9r1zkZ5UDyUM4ZvpIksut" />

The low-density proposal has been designed by Cera Stribley and is being progressed through the Victorian Government's Great Design Fast Track pathway, having already secured eligibility from the Minister for Planning.

The Office of the Victorian Government Architect supported its eligibility after finding the proposal demonstrated consistency with the program's seven design principles, while the project's financial feasibility has also been independently confirmed by Invest Victoria.

The project is targeting the downsizer market, with the planning documents describing the homes as larger-format residences and noting the two penthouses could otherwise have been configured as four separate apartments.

<img alt="Lowe 2" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="60ab0987-2da6-4175-adac-315dcf6053c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.15%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=bOCPH0B2MFwlmaRW.TTCF9TzyifgVoQI" />

The site has dual frontage to Erskine Street and Canterbury Place and currently comprises a collection of commercial buildings used as offices, including a former heritage bakehouse, a former stable, a later gabled addition and a central courtyard.

It sits within the Commercial 1 Zone and the Armstrong Street Commercial Precinct heritage overlay, with the existing property classified as a contributory heritage place.

Heritage has subsequently played a significant role in Cera Stribley's design.

The front section of the former bakehouse facing Erskine Street will be retained, including its return walls, street-facing hipped roof and chimneys, while the Erskine Street façade and part of the western return wall of the former stable will also be incorporated into the new development.

Levels four and five will be set back five metres from the retained stable façade, while bricks removed through demolition are proposed to be salvaged and reused within the new building where possible.

<img alt="Lowe 3" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e97927a9-a2de-4a0f-83b6-65451238abfa" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.06%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VR44AChLrX9q1XPB9GvVQV.ALXXbe4gC" />

Rather than presenting as a single five-storey building to Erskine Street, Cera Stribley has broken the development into a series of distinct forms.

A three-storey infill element will sit between the retained bakehouse and stable façades, with the upper levels recessed behind the heritage fabric. Canterbury Place will similarly feature two three-storey podium forms, separated by a central pedestrian accessway, before the upper two levels step back from the street.

A pedestrian through-link will run through the centre of the project between Erskine Street and Canterbury Place, creating entrances from both sides of the site and introducing landscaping and communal areas through the ground plane.

Landscape architect Acre has designed planting across the ground level, private terraces and upper levels, including a feature canopy tree at level three and integrated planting and arbours across the level four terraces. Five existing Erskine Street trees are proposed to be retained.

Sustainability is also a significant component of the Great Design Fast Track application. The apartments are targeting an average eight-star NatHERS rating, with no residence below 6.5 stars, while the project has achieved a 75 per cent BESS score. Seven of the eight apartments are designed for cross-ventilation, with the remaining residence using mechanically assisted natural ventilation.

The plans also incorporate an 8kWp rooftop solar system, a 5,000-litre rainwater tank and infrastructure allowing future electric vehicle charging for every residence.

Lowe has a strong portfolio across Melbourne's blue-chip suburbs. They recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/jardin-house-by-lowe-living-camberwell-335-camberwell-road-camberwell-vic-3124">Jardin House by Lowe Living</a> in Camberwell, their first development in the Stonnington LGA.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dvb-projects">DVB Projects</a> is preparing to launch its second Gold Coast apartment development, with demolition now underway on the Broadbeach site as the Sydney developer moves closer to bringing the ultra-luxury project to market.

The 34-level tower at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/137-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">137 Old Burleigh Road</a> will comprise just 49 residences, ranging from half-floor apartments through to full-floor homes and a penthouse. The launch follows the strong sales performance of DVB's nearby Sea Glass development. More than half of the apartments at Sea Glass, on the other side of Broadbeach, have been snapped up, well ahead of its late 2027 completion

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2944b4be-c84e-4b54-8dc1-c712e76704c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/E02_Exterior_Street%20Level%20Entrance.jpg?VersionId=YoNig7pRdrE3HCue7sUj78LzJteeQf3H" />

The start of demolition at 137 Old Burleigh Road signals DVB Projects’ underlying confidence in the Gold Coast’s luxury beachside apartment sector.

“We see the Gold Coast as one of the most compelling lifestyle markets in Australia, particularly at the premium end where demand continues to deepen,” said Dean Brown, Managing Director of DVB.&nbsp;

“This project has been carefully designed to respond to that demand - delivering large-format residences with a level of quality, privacy and amenity that is still relatively rare in the apartment market on the beachside."

Brown says the site itself is "exceptional."

"Old Burleigh Road is one of the most tightly held beachfront strips, and opportunities to deliver a project of this scale and calibre in this location are extremely limited.”

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="398f377a-c037-455e-9250-0c5e0d84c35b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/I12_FF%20Balcony.jpg?VersionId=NwOiRWGMubR1c8wthuEfggklcja7al9." />

The project will comprise 40 half-floor residences of approximately 260 sqm, alongside eight full-floor residences spanning around 524 sqm.

A single penthouse will crown the building, featuring a private pool, barbecue area, indoor gym and dedicated entertaining spaces.

Residents will have access to a resort-style suite of amenities, including a 20-metre pool with daybeds, a gymnasium, hot and cold plunge pools, a sauna, and private residents’ lounge and dining facilities.

Sales agent Todd Matheson, of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/pezet-matheson">Pezet Matheson</a>, which is marketing both 137 Old Burleigh Road and Sea Glass, said 137 Old Burleigh Road would address a clear gap in the market for genuine luxury products.

“There are very few opportunities on the Gold Coast where buyers can secure a residence of this size and quality in a new building,” Matheson said.

“What we’re seeing is a growing cohort of downsizers and interstate buyers who still want space - they’re not willing to compromise on living area, entertaining or finishes.

“This project has been designed with that buyer in mind. It offers the scale of a home, combined with the convenience and security of apartment living, in one of the coast’s most desirable positions.”

Located on a 1,156 sqm site one block from the beachfront, the development will replace an ageing walk-up building and is expected to contribute to the ongoing transformation of the Old Burleigh Road strip into one of the Gold Coast’s most prestigious residential corridors.

With the development moving into the delivery phase, 137 Old Burleigh Road is slated to hit the market later this year.

DVB Projects to launch second Broadbeach apartment tower as demolition commences

<a data-end="327" data-is-only-node="" data-start="250" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/norus-projects" rel="noopener" target="_new">Norus Developments</a> has lodged plans for a new apartment development in Clayton that would add further momentum to the suburb's emerging Green Street corridor.

Plans have been lodged for the consolidated site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1359-1365-centre-road-clayton-vic-3168">1359-1365 Centre Road</a>, where Norus is seeking approval for 218 apartments across a 12-storey apartment building designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/life-architecture-and-urban-design">Life Architecture</a>.

The proposal sits within the Clayton Major Activity Centre at the threshold of the planned Green Street corridor, a landscaped pedestrian connection intended to improve links through the precinct towards Clayton Railway Station.

The development would replace the site's existing collection of low-scale residential and commercial buildings with a single consolidated building, introducing significantly greater housing density to this part of Centre Road.

A retail tenancy is proposed at ground level to activate the Centre Road frontage, accompanied by transparent street interfaces and landscaping intended to create a more pedestrian-focused edge to the development.

<img alt="First look: Norus Developments plans landscape-led apartment project for Clayton’s emerging Green Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0a5a763a-d9e9-4253-af2f-88008de27ebf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Clayton%20a.png?VersionId=S2WJJbat1XVkZwB9SnYtygirXgWHiklX" />

The building has been designed with stepped massing and upper-level setbacks to manage its transition towards surrounding residential properties. The planning report describes the approach as one that integrates the building into the landscape rather than treating landscaping as a secondary element.

"A strong landscape and public realm strategy underpins the proposal," Urbis states in the planning report.

"Public benefits include an affordable housing contribution, a new pocket park, generous landscaped setbacks, deep soil planting and integrated Water Sensitive Urban Design."

The report adds that these elements are intended to create "a permeable, pedestrian-focused ground plane that enhances walkability, supports urban cooling and reinforces the emerging Green Street character."

Biophilic and passive design principles extend through the residential levels, with planting, daylight, natural ventilation and views towards landscaped areas forming part of the amenity strategy.

Parking would be concentrated away from the public realm, with 145 car spaces proposed from the rear laneway rather than dominating the Centre Road frontage.

The proposal follows an extensive pre-application process with the City of Monash. Three formal meetings were held between the project team and Council from December 2025 to March 2026, with the scheme evolving through several concept iterations before the current design was lodged.

The project arrives as Clayton prepares for substantial change around its established activity centre and the wider Suburban Rail Loop precinct. Its position on Centre Road places the development within an existing concentration of shops, services and public transport, while the Green Street connection is intended to strengthen pedestrian access towards Clayton Railway Station.

Docklands

The Melbourne developer Riverlee has seen an interesting buyer demographic emerge at its&nbsp;luxury mixed-use Docklands development, Seafarers.

Entrepreneurs and executives have swarmed the Fender Katsalidis-designed development, which incorporates a 280 room 1 Hotel, as well as 123 apartments, which together have been dubbed 1 Hotel and Homes.

Around 70 per cent of buyers so far have been business owners or those in C-suite and executive positions.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=161090]

They&#39;ve been drawn to Seafarers, with the under construction development giving buyers the ability to customise their apartments, including adding home office spaces.

They&#39;ve also been keen on the unique inclusion of the hotel support staff, who they can lean on for tasks similar to personal assistants.

David Lee, development director at Riverlee, says they are catering to those that are accustomed to or seeking an international way of living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=161089]

&ldquo;The hotel residence lifestyle has gained a lot of traction in places like New York and Asia, but there is a need for this type of home in Australia.

&quot;There are various residential buildings out there with features such&nbsp;as a concierge service but hotel-branded residences, particularly those with an international focus, take it to another level,&rdquo; Lee added.

&ldquo;Business owners and executives are a key target market at Seafarers with its connectivity to the city and the airport as well as the lifestyle on offer.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=73042]

&quot;Looking at hotel-branded residences globally, they hold their value extremely well, showing that their enduring appeal is also a savvy investment.&rdquo;

Residents will be able to use&nbsp;the hotel amenity, including the swimming pool, gym, sauna and spa, housekeeping and personal shopping, in home room service and wellness treatments, and 24-hour concierge services.

Residents will also have access to exclusive resident only amenities, including a rooftop BBQ and garden overlooking the Yarra River, bookable private dining rooms, and library and lounge areas.

Mirvac&rsquo;s Voyager tower is one of the newest developments set within the master planned Yarra&rsquo;s Edge precinct.

Located on the Docklands waterfront, the 315 apartment development rises 130 metres from the ground, with 43 levels soaring into the sky.

Set for completion in the coming months, Voyager will be the ninth completed tower in the Yarra&rsquo;s Edge development following the completed Forge just adjacent.&nbsp;

Urban has taken a deeper look&nbsp;and highlighted the top seven attributes of Voyager&nbsp;that should interest buyers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=89724]

<h2>1. Developed by the All In One Experts, Mirvac</h2>

Mirvac is one of Australia&#39;s leading, diversified property groups shaping and creating developments across Australia.

From top to bottom Voyager shows off Mirvac&rsquo;s penchant for quality control, with design and construction also being handled by their in-house teams.

Mirvac have also put a green foot forward as a leading influence amongst developers in the transition towards renewable and sustainable residential projects with a target to become net carbon positive by 2030.

With over 49 years of architecture experience they don&#39;t stop at shaping just buildings Mirvac is really about building a community, and it doesn&#39;t get much better than Yarra&#39;s Edge in Docklands.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=164637]

<h2>2. Live life your way in the Docklands Precinct</h2>

Yarra&rsquo;s Edge is a rare 14.5-hectare inner-city sanctuary located on the north-facing bank of the Yarra River, with strong connectivity to the CBD, Southbank and the future Fishermans Bend precinct.

Nearby there&#39;s a selection of cafes and restaurants, from casual cafes to upmarket eateries, including Anchor Eatery, Espressionist Cafe, Hooks at the Yarra, Lorimer Gallery, Mad Duck Caf&eacute;, Pizza Societe and Sassone Italian Restaurant.

There&rsquo;s plans for a future 1,000 sqm retail hub, which is anticipated to service both the local community and the broader Fishermans Bend and Docklands catchment area.

The YE Marina caters for boats up to 30 metres. It features full services booths with power and water facilities, 24-hour security and wireless internet access.

Part of the Voyager tower will be The Wharf Club &ndash; a state-of-the-art health and fitness facility which boasts a pool, spa, steam room, gym, fitness facilities and caf&eacute;.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=90814]

<h2>3. Come home to ease and convenience</h2>

Aligning with the building&rsquo;s sophisticated and elegant residences, a large functional lobby space helps add to the development&rsquo;s hotel-luxe atmosphere.

The ground floor lobby will be home to the on-site concierge and the lobby gallery.

&ldquo;The curved surfaces of the lobby reflect the nature of the building, creating a holistic experience from inside to out&rdquo;, Mirvac Design Director Michael Weiner said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=164658]

<h2>4. Enjoy luxuries you&#39;ve never imagined at your fingertips</h2>

Featuring an abundance of premium amenities designed for residents and their guests to entertain or retreat, Mirvac has gone all out at Voyager.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the rooftop Skydeck and Bar includes a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces.

Rooftop space includes large rooftop terrace, BBQ, firepit, yoga lawn, bar, dining room with chef&#39;s kitchen, theatre/karaoke room.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=89070]

<h2>5. Voyager offers buyers choice</h2>

Voyager offers residents the choice between two polished colour schemes, Halcyon and Intrepid.

Halcyon, marketed towards those who &ldquo;understand sophistication,&rdquo; features neutral accents, stone benches, metallic finishes and soft tones.

Meanwhile Intrepid explores darker tones, with a different colour scheme for the joinery and benchtops.

The Mirvac Design team&rsquo;s goal was to create contemporary, versatile residences to suit all lifestyles and life cycles, ensuring Voyager appeals to a broad demographic of purchasers through a diverse range of built form and liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=164641]

<h2>6. Enjoy a&nbsp;Melbourne CBD location with an aspect of the city</h2>

As the tallest building to date at Yarra&rsquo;s Edge, Voyager offers sweeping views across the city skyline and beyond.

Dominating the Docklands skyline, the striking tower&rsquo;s smooth glass exterior is a beacon catching the eye those coming to Melbourne over the Bolte Bridge.

&ldquo;The curved fa&ccedil;ades reflect the changing light as the sun moves on its daily journey, an iconic beacon that welcomes residents home&rdquo;, Mirvac Design Director Michael Wiener said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=164639]

<h2>7. Priced affordably for Investors and Owner Occupiers</h2>

Comprising 315 apartments, Voyager has a collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments with prices starting as low as $601,500 for a one bedroom apartment.

There is a spread of different sized two bedders on offer with prices starting at $706,500 for a two bedroom, one bathroom apartments and $774,400 for a two bedroom two bathroom apartment.

Seven reasons Mirvac's Voyager at Yarra's Edge should be on buyer's shortlist

Riverlee&rsquo;s highly-anticipated Melbourne development, Seafarers, is a collection of 123 one, two and three-bedroom riverfront residences.

Designed by Fender Katsalidis, each apartment boasts luxury touches, abundant light and sweeping Yarra River and park views.

Seafarers will feature 1 Hotel &amp; Homes, above Australia&rsquo;s first 1 Hotel. These residences will become Melbourne&rsquo;s first international hotel-branded residences.

Through 1 Hotel &amp; Homes, Seafarers residents will enjoy unlimited access to five-star hotel amenities including pool, gym, housekeeping, room service, pet care and catered dinners.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=73046]

Celebrating the site&rsquo;s maritime past, Fender Katsalidis centre their design on the restoration and re-use of the heritage-listed Goods Shed No. 5 and its distinctive travelling crane.

Forming the ground floor of the 1 Hotel, the repurposed goods shed will open onto the wharf, enlivening the riverfront.

&ldquo;The Seafarers precinct will breathe new life into this forgotten stretch of the Yarra&rdquo;, the developers said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=73042]

Inspired by Melbourne&rsquo;s unique caf&eacute;, bar and dining cultures, the project will deliver world-class hospitality to residents and Melburnians.

To the shed&rsquo;s immediate east is Melbourne&rsquo;s newest, waterfront parkland, Seafarers Rest.

The landscaped haven will boast 3,500sqm of riverfront parkland, with mature trees, lush plantings and green space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=97029]

Seafarers is set to become a tourist destination, with vibrant eateries and great sites on offer in the surrounding Docklands area.

Crown Melbourne, Ponyfish Island and the Capital City Trail are all within walking distance of the luxury dwelling.

Art lovers will also be able to close by the street art that characterises the Melbourne streetscape, as well as the National Gallery of Victoria.

<blockquote>
&ldquo;[Seafarers] will reveal itself as Melbourne&rsquo;s most diverse, most fascinating and most easily explored neighbourhood&rdquo;, the project marketing reads.
</blockquote>

Families will also enjoy being in close proximity to leading schools and universities, as well as within two kilometres of the Melbourne CBD.

Display Tour: East Tower at Melbourne Quarter by Lendlease in Melbourne, VIC

The Docklands development Seafarers will be immediately recognised with its unique and striking facade when it is completed in 2024.

The $500 million development by the Melbourne-based developer Riverlee on the banks of the Yarra River is part of the rejuvenation of the Northbank precinct at the end of Flinders Street.

The global architecture firm Fender Katsalidis were tasked with reimagining the&nbsp;heritage-protected Goods Shed 5, preserving&nbsp;the only intact remnants from the days before containerisation.

Recently Urban caught up with Nicky Drobis,&nbsp;director at Fender Katsalidis, to discuss the development and how the design came to fruition.

JR: What was the brief for Seafarers from Riverlee?

ND: The brief was to design Melbourne&rsquo;s most dynamic mixed-use precinct, which restored and celebrated the site&rsquo;s heritage as the heart of the development.

It was also to create a development that connected to the Yarra River and the natural environment, resulting in plans for the new park at Seafarers Rest.

The goal was to achieve true diversity within the building with entertainment, health and wellbeing, as well as luxury hotel accommodation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=73048]

JR: What interested you in the project? 
 
ND: Beyond the brief itself, and the opportunities it afforded to create a new community within Melbourne, the most interesting part of the project would be the actual building. This is an important part of the revitalisation of the broader Northbank section of the Yarra River, which is undergoing a metamorphosis. The resulting building and community will soon make Seafarers a destination in its own right.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=73049]

JR: What were the key priorities?

ND: The careful retention and restoration of the heritage-listed Goods Shed No. 5 and the Malcolm Moore Electric Crane were key to celebrating Melbourne and the Yarra River&rsquo;s industrial heritage.

We also prioritised the view opportunities across the site, not only to the river, but back towards the CBD and Docklands areas.

Looking at it holistically, we focused on an environmentally sustainable design that incorporated key initiatives for a development of this scale.

Finally, we wanted to create enchanting and intriguing journeys through unique building experiences for hotel visitors and residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=161091]

JR: Was the string of amenities high on the priority list?

ND: A focus on health and wellbeing was fundamental in the design process of the building. We have designed numerous wellness spaces which directly engage with the natural environment and incorporate living green, in addition to the landscaped terrace spaces.

A selection of private amenities includes a library and lounge, dining rooms, spa and sauna spaces and a rooftop garden.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=97028]

JR: What was the biggest challenge in conceiving the design? 
 
ND: As much as a mixed-use development can be a challenge, this adds increased complexity, requiring a higher level of design thinking and execution.

The numerous challenges of design and construction start with the heritage shed, then work through those associated with the different uses.

In a planning sense, you have a cantilevered element of the building laid on top of the heritage shed, as well as the addition of a basement, while multiple uses are split horizontally throughout the building.

JR: Was it difficult to combine the residential apartment element with the hotel space?

ND: There are great synergies afforded by residents being able to utilise all the food and beverage offerings provided by the hotel. However, we&rsquo;ve worked carefully to create independent spaces for residents to provide them with a sense of exclusivity and privacy within the building. This way we can offer residents their own exclusive spaces, while allowing them to use every bit of the hotel.

JR: Had you done this on a previous project? 

ND: Yes. A lot of our work has involved precinctual design and mixed-use buildings, with all the complexities and opportunities that come with each. Seafarers is not dissimilar, albeit in a singular building.

One example we have currently in construction is Merdeka118, which upon completion will become the second tallest skyscraper in the world.⁠⁠ Its incredibly complex infrastructure and mix of uses includes a shopping centre, commercial floorplates and luxury hotel accommodation, each atop one another.

JR: Where did you draw inspiration from for the building?

ND: The components of the building&rsquo;s form are derived from their uses and are defined as such externally. Most visibly, the heritage shed is retained, restored and celebrated at the base of the tower with the next seven levels being hotel accommodation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=97032]

Above that, reading quite distinctly, we have the apartment levels with a highly articulated floorplan edge, which enables the fa&ccedil;ade glazing to reflect light in a way that is reminiscent of the movement of water.

JR: How did you collaborate with Carr Design to make sure the interiors of the apartments were in keeping with the rest of the building?

ND: The Carr team worked very carefully to design interiors that are both elegant and luxurious.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=73043]

The overriding idea in the design the of the apartments was to maximise the view opportunities for residents. There is a rigour to the planning which is experienced as you move through the plan, creating a seamless experience. The apartments are also very generously sized with finely considered details and a warm, classic palette of materials.

JR: What part of the design are you most proud of/what are you most looking forward to seeing? 
 
ND: We are eagerly looking forward to how the building will function, fostering a vibrant series of uses for residents, guests and visitors. We are proud of how it celebrates an important part of Melbourne&rsquo;s heritage in its retention of the shed, and thus its distinctive reflection of uses as a former industrial site.

This also has us looking forward to seeing the building as a sculptural built form to the precinct along the river frontage and a marker for the wider precinct.

The Design Details: Fender Katsalidis Architects discuss Riverlee's mixed-use Docklands development Seafarers

Voyager, a residential tower delivered by Mirvac, is one of the&nbsp;newest developments set within the masterplanned Yarra&rsquo;s Edge precinct on the Docklands waterfront.

The 315 apartment development will feature&nbsp;over 1,000 sqm of fine dining and retail, a state-of-the-art wellness centre, parklands and marina berths.

Urban recently spoke to&nbsp;Mirvac&#39;s General Manager of Residential Victoria Elysa Anderson about the project.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=90814]

JR: What are the highlights of Voyager and what is attracting buyers to the project?

EA: The prestigious Voyager tower is the next chapter in the established Yarra&rsquo;s Edge community and is a reflection of Mirvac&rsquo;s ongoing commitment to the precinct. It is the tallest building in the area to date, rising to approximately 130 metres with 43 levels and featuring significant shared amenity within the lobby and rooftop space, adding immense value to residents&rsquo; lives.

The first of its kind for Yarra&rsquo;s Edge, Voyager&rsquo;s residents-only rooftop space will offer picturesque skyline views across the city and the Yarra River, with indoor and outdoor facilities for private dining, as well as a bar, lounge area, theatre and karaoke room. Voyager residents will also have access to the exemplary amenity at Yarra&rsquo;s Edge, combined with unparalleled north facing waterfront access, with residences that focus on flexibility, liveability and sustainability.

Voyager has been very well received by purchasers who are looking to the long term, demanding quality apartments supported by strong real estate fundamentals, with Mirvac&rsquo;s unique end-to-end inhouse capability an added reassurance for buyers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=89064]

JR: What were the goals for the Mirvac Design team? 

EA: Voyager is our response to demand for quality housing and amenities in well-connected inner-city locations and is a reflection of Mirvac&rsquo;s ongoing commitment to the wider Yarra&rsquo;s Edge precinct. The Mirvac Design team&rsquo;s goal was to create contemporary, versatile residences to suit all lifestyles and life cycles, ensuring Voyager appeals to a broad demographic of purchasers through a diverse range of built form and liveability.

JR: Where have buyers for Voyager come from, and who is the development appealing to? 

EA: The majority of buyers for Voyager have been local downsizers and upgraders from Docklands, the CBD and Port Melbourne, as well as people from Bayside locations (Phillip Island and Mornington Peninsula) looking for a city base. More recently, we have also seen buyers who are astute investors, looking to secure their future by purchasing an apartment to rent now and move into in the medium to long term.

JR: What else does the Yarra&#39;s Edge Community offer residents? 

EA: Yarra&rsquo;s Edge is a rare 14.5-hectare inner-city sanctuary located on the north-facing bank of the Yarra River, with strong connectivity to the CBD, Southbank and the future Fishermans Bend precinct with extensive amenity, including:

&bull; The Wharf Club &ndash; a state-of-the-art health and fitness facility which boasts a pool, spa, steam room, gym, fitness facilities and caf&eacute; &bull; Wharf&rsquo;s Landing Park &ndash; a 1,500-square-metre green open space with an architecturally designed trafficable green incline roof

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=89075]

&bull; The Think Pink Living Centre &ndash; designed by the Mirvac Design team, the purpose-built Living Centre provides professional and caring holistic support to patients, their families and carers at any stage of their journey with breast cancer

&bull; A selection of cafes and restaurants, from casual cafes to upmarket eateries, including Anchor Eatery, Espressionist Cafe, Hooks at the Yarra, Lorimer Gallery, Mad Duck Caf&eacute;, Pizza Societe and Sassone Italian Restaurant

&bull; YE Marina &ndash; catering for boats up to 30 metres, YE Marina features full services booths with individually metres power and water facilities, 24-hour security and wireless internet access

&bull; A future proposed 1,000-square-metre retail hub, which is anticipated to service both the local community and the broader Fishermans Bend and Docklands catchment area

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=89074]

JR: Why is Voyager a standout in the Yarra&#39;s Edge Community? 

EA: At over 130 metres tall with 43 levels, Voyager is the tallest building to date at Yarra&rsquo;s Edge and offers residents incredible views across the city skyline down to the Yarra River and a marina lifestyle. It features a range of residences to suit a variety of lifestyles including artist and home-office apartments, one-, two- and three-bedroom luxury residences, Sky Residences and an exclusive residents-only rooftop space on level 43 unlike anything provided within Yarra&rsquo;s Edge to date. This residents-only rooftop features a private skydeck and bar for residents to utilise, complete with open-air fireplace, lush green features and elevated views. Residents can book the beautifully appointed private dining room for entertaining, while the bar is ideal for intimate gatherings and a cinema room is also available for them to enjoy.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=89054]

JR: What are your further plans for the Yarra&#39;s Edge Community? 

EA: Following the success of Voyager and ongoing appetite for premium, lifestyle-focused apartments, we are now undergoing visioning discussions for our next tower at Yarra&rsquo;s Edge. Yarra&rsquo;s Edge is already home to over 3,000 residents and we are continuing to reimagine urban life at Docklands. The future vision includes a proposed new 1,000 square metre retail hub, which will service both the local community and the broader Fishermans Bend and Docklands catchments. Our plan is to continue to enhance the area&rsquo;s liveability, creating and adding to the vibrant community at Yarra&rsquo;s Edge.

JR: Voyager is proudly a dog friendly complex, why was this important?

EA: Yarra&rsquo;s Edge already has a large dog community and Voyager will be no different. We wanted to create a development that was pet-friendly, with plenty of parks, boardwalks and paths available at Yarra&rsquo;s Edge to allow dog owners the opportunity to throw, catch, chase and hang out with their favourite companion

Delivered by Riverlee, the development heralds a new era in luxury inner-city living at Melbourne’s Yarra River with convenience at your fingertips

Four university campuses within walking distance of Docklands' Seafarers

<html><body>
Voyager, a chic residential tower delivered by Mirvac, is a new development set within the masterplanned Yarra’s Edge precinct on the Docklands waterfront.

The harbourside precinct, set to be home to over 3,000 people, boasts over 1,000 sqm of fine dining and retail, a state-of-the-art wellness centre, parklands and marina berths.

Urban takes a look at five things you may not know about Mirvac’s Voyager development.

1. It’s the tallest building at Wharf’s Entrance

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494]

Standing 43-levels high and dominating the Docklands skyline at 138 metres, Voyager is the tallest building in the precinct to date.

The iconic tower’s smooth glass exterior is a beacon welcoming those coming to Melbourne over the Bolte Bridge.

“The curved façades reflect the changing light as the sun moves on its daily journey, an iconic beacon that welcomes residents home”, Mirvac Design director Michael Wiener said.

2. Voyager offers a broad variety of lifestyle residences

The stylish 315-apartment development boasts a collection of one, two and three-bedroom luxury apartments.

Versatile floorplans and a flexible variety of residences are designed to suit any homebuyers’ lifestyle.

A mix of inspirational artist apartments and flexi-apartments ideal for a home and office in one are also available, with spacious, flexible living spaces and the possibility to secure an accompanying car and bike spot.

3. The residence boasts an hotel-luxe feel

<a href="/buildings/voyager-docklands-103-south-wharf-drive-docklands-vic-3008"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/voyager-103-south-wharf-drive-docklands-99bfe4c32d712e1f62f48a4366226b80.jpg" width="1920"></a>

Aligning with the building’s sophisticated and elegant residences, a large functional lobby space helps add to the development’s hotel-luxe atmosphere.

Boasting a concierge, lobby gallery and library, the ground-floor lobby warmly welcomes residents and their guests into a beautiful space.

“The curved surfaces of the lobby reflect the nature of the building, creating a holistic experience from inside to out”, Weiner said.

4. Homebuyers can choose from two colour schemes

The Voyager offers residents the choice between two timeless colour schemes, Halcyon and Intrepid.

Halcyon, marketed towards those who “understand sophistication,” features neutral accents, stone benches, metallic finishes and soft tones.

While Intrepid explores darker tones, with slim-line porcelain, metallic accents and contrasting materials.  

5. Residents can enjoy premium shared amenities

<a href="/buildings/voyager-docklands-103-south-wharf-drive-docklands-vic-3008"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/voyager-103-south-wharf-drive-docklands-438c5c1ce242ad6ca350b7706bfaa98a.jpg" width="1920"></a>

Voyager boasts an abundance of premium amenities, designed for residents and their guests to entertain or retreat.
