A long-awaited transformation of a former industrial site in Holroyd has been given the green light, with the NSW Government approving the $1.2 billion Crescent Parklands masterplan that will deliver more than 1,200 new homes just south of Parramatta.

The State Significant Development approval clears the way for a large-scale mixed-use precinct at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1-crescent-street-holroyd-nsw-2142">1 Crescent Street</a>, replacing an underutilised site with a coordinated residential community anchored by new open space, retail, and commercial uses.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> for WA-based developer Tiberius, the approved scheme comprises seven buildings arranged across two precincts. In total, the development will deliver 1,227 apartments, including 201 allocated as affordable housing, alongside approximately 2,500 sqm of retail and 5,000 sqm of commercial space within a mixed-use podium.

<img alt="Tiberius’ Crescent Parklands to deliver 1,200+ homes in major Holroyd transformation" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1cc82dd2-8184-4b86-8665-90653147820d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Crescent%20buildings.png?VersionId=2ZmVDc_Rfc4AzQ6ShzZJlvdZnACLerVM" />

The project is structured as a masterplanned precinct rather than a standalone tower. Buildings 1 to 4 will rise from a shared podium with shop-top housing, while Buildings 5 to 7 are positioned closer to the northern park interface as residential flat buildings. The built form has been carefully modulated to balance density with amenity, with the design resolving building separation, solar access, and wind impacts at a precinct scale.

A significant focus of the design is the activation of Crescent Street and the integration of public domain. The submission notes that “individual townhouses [were] removed for community based functions to Crescent Street to increase activation and surveillance,” reinforcing a more urban and publicly engaged street edge. Retail, commercial tenancies, and resident amenity spaces are concentrated along this frontage and within the podium to support day-to-day activity.

The landscape strategy underpins the project’s identity, with a network of pedestrian connections, landscaped corridors, and open spaces linking the site internally and to its surroundings. The design prioritises permeability, delivering “increased uninterrupted flow between spaces for pedestrian access” and improved connections through to the adjoining parklands.

Buildings within the western precinct are oriented toward the park, shaping a residential offering defined by proximity to open space. The design describes this approach as creating apartments “immersed in nature with apartments facing the park,” positioning the landscape as a central organising element of the masterplan.

The broader architectural response addresses both infrastructure and context, with taller elements capturing long-range views toward Parramatta while setbacks and separation distances mitigate impacts on surrounding residential areas. Sustainability initiatives, including solar optimisation, cross-ventilation, and integrated landscape systems, are embedded across the scheme.

Located approximately one kilometre south of Parramatta CBD, the 3.6-hectare site is bounded by Crescent Street, Woodville Road, and Holroyd Sportsground. It benefits from strong access to public transport, including nearby bus routes and train stations, and sits within a rapidly evolving corridor earmarked for increased residential density. The design also strengthens connections between surrounding green spaces, including Holroyd Sportsground and Parramatta Parklands.

The approval follows several years of planning, including a rezoning process that enabled significant uplift in height and density across the site. With determination now secured, Crescent Parklands is positioned to play a major role in delivering new housing supply within Greater Parramatta’s growth area.

Tiberius’ Crescent Parklands to deliver over 1,200 homes in major Holroyd transformation

A new State Significant Development application has been lodged over land at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/33-43-marion-street-parramatta-nsw-2150">33–43 Marion Street</a>, Parramatta, proposing a high-rise mixed-use tower that leverages planning incentives to deliver a substantial pipeline of new housing, including a dedicated affordable component.

The scheme, currently on exhibition, combines a shop-top housing development with a concurrent rezoning, positioning the site for a significant uplift in density within Parramatta’s evolving southern CBD fringe.

The proposal, designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fuse-architecture-0">Fuse Architects</a> for CN Marion, would replace the existing buildings with a 37-storey mixed-use tower, delivering 296 apartments above a retail podium with six basement levels on the 2,376 sqm site.

The residential mix comprises 58 one-bedroom, 207 two-bedroom, and 31 three-bedroom apartments, with communal facilities located on the second level and the rooftop. Ground-level activation is driven by retail and food and beverage tenancies, alongside a publicly accessible through-site link designed to improve pedestrian permeability.

The project includes 194 car spaces, five motorcycle spaces, and 348 bicycle spaces, reflecting a transit-oriented approach in a location directly adjacent to the rail corridor and within walking distance of Harris Park Station.

<img alt="First Look: Plans lodged for 37-storey mixed-use tower with affordable housing at 33–43 Marion Street, Parramatta" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3db873ea-62f0-437b-8a6a-eeda154d2dee" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Marion%20building.png?VersionId=YwzBv8OVHwyRnMLGX4slU7QyhTyMZeOX" />

The design adopts a podium-and-tower composition, with a three-storey street wall addressing Marion Street and a reduced two-storey interface responding to adjoining heritage cottages.

A key component of the proposal is the integration of affordable housing under the NSW Government’s in-fill affordable housing pathway, with units to be retained for a minimum of 15 years. This is paired with a broader public domain strategy that emphasises permeability, deep soil planting, and a landscaped through-site link.

“The strategy prioritises a permeable, well-activated public realm and supports a compact tower form to minimise the building’s footprint while enhancing the quality of the ground-level experience,” the design report states.

The proposal includes a central landscaped courtyard, rooftop communal areas, and planting strategies aligned with local environmental conditions and cultural narratives.

<img alt="First Look: Plans lodged for 37-storey mixed-use tower with affordable housing at 33–43 Marion Street, Parramatta" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f0e6c165-9967-4d20-9216-e5b8357c85ba" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Marion%20site.png?VersionId=SRod222LwgDmGZJmJY0wTbK39UrWZLSD" />

The site occupies a prominent corner of Marion and Station streets, roughly 100 metres from Harris Park Station, within a precinct earmarked for significant intensification. While the immediate context is characterised by low- to mid-rise buildings and heritage dwellings, planning controls and recent proposals point to a transition toward high-density development.

A substantial uplift in height and density is being tested in Lane Cove, with a 225-apartment scheme at 300 Burns Bay Road now on public exhibition as a State Significant Development alongside a concurrent rezoning.

The proposal by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/level-33">Level 33</a> would see the demolition of an existing commercial building and associated structures, replaced by a residential development ranging from seven to 15 storeys.&nbsp;

The scheme delivers 225 apartments, including 34 designated as affordable housing, positioning it within the NSW Government’s accelerated Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

The development is arranged as three interconnected residential flat buildings, a response to the site’s long, narrow configuration and sloping topography.&nbsp;

<img alt="First look: 225-apartment Lane Cove tower proposal enters exhibition under State Significant pathway" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c325d40c-ead5-45f4-9d77-5a446b23acc0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Lane%20Cove%20pers.png?VersionId=hsCJxT5hj.5kzA6AMInyan1x8mcHeRez" />

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/pbd-architects">PBD Architects</a>, the project’s designer, describe a built form that is “divided into three sections, each connected by intermediate infill slots which are recessed to establish greater setbacks and further articulate the development.”

Across the scheme, apartments are supported by communal amenity at ground and rooftop levels, including landscaped open space and a rooftop pool. Basement and lower ground levels accommodate parking, storage, and building services, while a new public park is proposed along the eastern edge of the site, replacing part of the existing built form.

The architectural response has been shaped by the site’s pronounced fall towards the Lane Cove River, with building heights stepping down from west to east to reduce visual bulk and respond to adjoining bushland.&nbsp;

The design report notes that “the development has been carefully designed to integrate with the existing topography with the placement of massing and floor levels adjusted respecting the site’s inherent characteristics.”

<img alt="First look: 225-apartment Lane Cove tower proposal enters exhibition under State Significant pathway" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="31cc13a5-bc8b-4dc3-b9b1-07c6ec33a82b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Lane%20cove%20site.png?VersionId=NiyH3LimQwiHsE6Q7I5g4Grpr5fRdZaX" />

The project is being advanced through a concurrent rezoning process, seeking to increase the permissible height and floor space ratio beyond current Lane Cove LEP controls of 21 metres. Under the proposal, height would reach up to 54.5 metres, reflecting a shift toward higher-density outcomes in well-located urban areas.

Located on a 7,595 sqm site, the development sits within an established high-density residential pocket characterised by mid-rise apartment buildings set within a bushland setting. The site is within close proximity to Burns Bay Reserve, the Lane Cove River, and an extensive network of open space, reinforcing its strategic positioning for increased housing supply.

Level 33 is doing through the Housing Delivery Authority to try and get its Homebush project of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/level-33-adds-to-2-000-unit-pipeline-with-new-two-tower-homebush-plans">more than 300 apartments approved</a>.

The developer has over 2,000 apartments in the pipeline, predominantly in Wollongong.

Following the completion of its debut Palm Beach apartment development EVA on Tenth, local Gold Coast developer Chippendale Group has launched its latest project in the in demand area.

Chippendale Group, led by fifth-generation Palm Beach local Daniel Chippendale, has kicked off sales at&nbsp;<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elise-palm-beach-3-twenty-fifth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1775884443343000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2GyxnGQKU2XXwTzQ8_VHgi" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elise-palm-beach-3-twenty-fifth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221" target="_blank">ELISE</a>, 68 coastal-infused apartments just 40 metres from the sand on Twenty Fifth Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150992 project_image_fid=366023]

Construction is already well underway, a signal of confidence to buyers, following the demolition of the two-storey walk-up and 1990s built house that sat on two sites that have been amalgamated to create a prime corner block.

There are a mix of two- and three-bedroom apartments on offer, starting from $1.4 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150992 project_image_fid=366024]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, Elise responds to its coastal setting through a horizontal architectural form with recessed glazing and layered landscaping. The design aims to balance light, shade and sea breezes while creating a defined presence along the streetscape.&nbsp;

Residences have been planned with an emphasis on outdoor living suited to the Gold Coast climate, including large balconies designed as usable outdoor rooms. Interiors will feature a selection of European appliances and natural materials, including New Zealand wool carpets.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150992 project_image_fid=366033]

Resident amenities are centred around a wellness-focused ground-level precinct. There will be private access to a heated swimming pool, sauna, cold plunge and gym, alongside a residents’ lounge with dining and entertaining space.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elise-palm-beach-3-twenty-fifth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">ELISE</a> is located towards the northern end of Palm Beach, which puts it just a short walk to Tallebudgera and Currumbin Creeks.

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/31-41-o-hara-street-marrickville-nsw-2204">Third.i</a>&nbsp;has announced a new transport-oriented development in one of Sydney Inner West’s most sought-after metropolitan locations, delivering much needed housing within steps of world-class public transport and vibrant village life.

Located at&nbsp;31-41 O’Hara St,&nbsp;Marrickville, the proposed mixed-use development will include around 300 apartments, with up to 17 per cent dedicated to affordable housing, reinforcing Third.i’s commitment to creating inclusive, well-connected communities that support a diverse mix of residents who keep Sydney’s neighbourhoods thriving.

Located just 100 metres from the new Metro station, the development places residents within minutes of the CBD while offering seamless access to the Inner West’s cafés, retail, and local services. Anchored within a thriving local centre, the project supports everyday living without reliance on cars, while also delivering new public open space for the local community, including a new park and landscaped green areas, alongside high-quality private resident amenities.

Florian Caillon, Head of Acquisitions for Third.i Group, said the project builds on the company’s ongoing work alongside the NSW Government to deliver housing and amenity alongside major transport infrastructure. Amenity includes an activated pedestrianise retail strip that connects Illawarra Road down to the pocket park, and health and wellness facilities.&nbsp;

“Delivering housing of this scale within an established village is a rare opportunity, and few companies have achieved residential outcomes of this size at a village centre," Caillon said.

"We are excited to set a new standard for urban living in the heart of Marrickville,” he said.&nbsp;

The inclusion of affordable housing has been welcomed by frontline workers.

“We are supportive of developments which will allow essential workers like nurses, midwives and carers, the opportunity to live in the communities they care for," said&nbsp;Michael Whaites, General Secretary of the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association..

“Many healthcare workers tell us they would like to live closer to where they work, but are being priced out of the market, forcing them to move further away.&nbsp;

“Dedicated apartments for essential workers will support recruitment and retention in local hospitals and aged care facilities, helping to strengthen our health system.”

The project has been declared State Significant Development (SSD) by the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA).

Box Hill, the thriving suburb just 14 kilometres east of Melbourne, is undergoing explosive growth and major generational change.

It is set for the even further growth due to its recent crowning as a Metropolitan Activity Centre.

One of the most sought-after apartment developments on the market in Box Hill is&nbsp;Spring Street,&nbsp;ideally located to take advantage of Box Hill's future growth prospect.

From its Spring St location, the Elenberg Fraser-designed apartment project is just a short walk from Box Hill Central, one of the city's busiest train stations connecting the suburb to the rest of Melbourne.&nbsp;Box Hill&nbsp;is also served by the route 109 tram and a number of bus routes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100675 project_image_fid=167528]

As the suburb’s cultural diversity and growing appeal have made it one of the more desirable places to live in Melbourne's east, Spring Street has set itself apart in both price and amenity for&nbsp;Box Hill.

The ground level of Spring St is also home a number of retail and dining options.

Within a few hundred metres is the Box Hill RSL and Bowls Club, which meets Box Hill Gardens, a one kilometre urban park with sports courts, a running track, barbecue areas, ponds, and a playground.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100675 project_image_fid=167531]

The 312-apartment development by Orion International&nbsp;features a number of resident&nbsp;facilities, including a&nbsp;25-metre swimming pool with spa, a sauna, a gym and a yoga room.

It is also home to further&nbsp;amenity, such as private dining spaces and connected environments that offer&nbsp;hotel-style entertaining, ideal for hosting guests.

The low price point in the project, the first in Box Hill designed by the renowned architecture firm Elenberg Fraser, has had buyers of every demographic at the ready. One-bedroom apartments start from as low as $395,000.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100675 project_image_fid=170523]

Two-bedroom apartments start from $545,000, with three-bedroom apartments ranging from $1,175,000 to $2.23 million. There's a small selection of four-bedroom apartments, which start at $3.98 million.

Completion is set for 2024.

How Spring Street apartments are primed to take advantage of Box Hill's future growth plan

Elenberg Fraser is an expert in multi-residential architecture and interior design, currently delivering around 42% of the apartments nearing completion and under construction in Melbourne; up from 10% in 2013.

Based in Melbourne with regional hubs in Brisbane and Ho Chi Minh City, Elenberg Fraser&nbsp;was&nbsp;established in 1998&nbsp;by Zahava Elenberg and Callum Fraser, both RMIT University graduates.

Elenberg Fraser have a track record in delivering residential projects that are both design-driven and market-driven, with expertise recognised through industry awards for projects such as Fifty Albert in South Melbourne, Luna in St Kilda and A&rsquo;Beckett Tower on Melbourne&rsquo;s A&rsquo;Beckett Street.

The architecture firm note that&nbsp;their&nbsp;residential projects have demonstrated their potential to improve returns and work within strict floorplan and cost considerations, but also provide truly inhabitable environments that excite and engage&nbsp;owners and tenants.

&ldquo;We create flexible spaces that can be adapted to a range needs, with practical yet individual approaches to interior design. Generous communal spaces are provided, creating society within the building,&rdquo; the firm noted.

Urban has picked out its top five&nbsp;projects currently in the market designed by the team at&nbsp;Elenberg Fraser.

<h2>Spring Street</h2>

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100675 project_image_fid=162056]

Located in the centre of Box Hill, Spring Street is within arm&rsquo;s reach of culturally rich dining scene, quality educational facilities, hospitals, shopping centres and public transport.&nbsp;

Spring Street&rsquo;s ground level features a paved boulevard, gardens and fine grain retail and dining offerings. As the levels rise, there is a private garden on the top of the podium where residents can relax and enjoy outdoor living.

Everything has been designed by Elenberg Fraser, from the streamlined, modern low-rise apartments, to the sleek high-rise levels and the custom-designed penthouses.

It features 29-storey architectural marvels, abundant amenities and a scenic garden created in collaboration with leading landscape architects Tract Consultants.&nbsp;

<h2>St Boulevard</h2>

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1260 project_image_fid=80580]

St Boulevard is the newest three-tower development in St Kilda, located at the intersection of the grand St. Kilda Boulevard and the Melbourne CBD.&nbsp;

The towers, Magnolia, Anaca and Ginko, place&nbsp;residents square at the centre of the busy suburb.

The biophilic buildings have been designed&nbsp;around a central park, home to the trees that stand for the building&rsquo;s namesake.

Elenberg Fraser took a sophisticated and tactile approach to the interiors, offering residents a choice in colour scheme and palette with a large range of floor plans to choose from.

<h2>Piper Townhomes</h2>

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102256 project_image_fid=163757]

Piper Townhomes is a boutique collection of 14 modern, low-maintenance townhouses in the bayside suburb of Williamstown.&nbsp;

It is just one part of AVJennings vision for Waterline Place which they described as &ldquo;a village within a village&rdquo;. It will be home to around 500 residences across 14 unique developments, weaved among a sea of biophilic, pedestrian-friendly, streets and laneways.&nbsp;

Piper comprises nine three-bedroom homes facing Nelson Place, starting from an extension of the neighbouring Lonsdale and Lysander townhomes, continuing the bluestone and angled roofline theme that mimics traditional local cottages and industrial buildings of the past, to blend in with the established architectural character of the area.

As well as five two-bedroom, two-bathroom terraces fronting Waterline Place, that have already sold out.

Situated within Hobson Bay the area offers cafes, restaurants, supermarket, shops, swimming beaches and renowned boating clubs.

<h2>Provenance</h2>

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9099 project_image_fid=48596]

The luxury property developer Beulah recently began construction on one of its newest apartment developments, Provenance Camberwell.

Consisting of just 12 apartments in total, including two penthouses, the boutique block at 890 Toorak Road has been designed by Elenberg Fraser.

Prices start from $1.25 million for the two bedroom apartments, with the four bedroom penthouses priced at $3.995 million.

Beulah have appointed the family-ran and owned lurada Property Group to handle the construction and so far the building has proven popular with local owner-occupiers, Beulah managing director Jiaheng Chan said.

Provenance Camberwell marks Beulah&rsquo;s seventh project to have commenced construction within recent years.

<h2>20 Mary Avenue, Broadbeach</h2>

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108327]

Developer Little Projects Co recently&nbsp;unveiled plans for a boutique residential apartment project located at 20 Mary Avenue, Broadbeach.

Demonstrating their prowess outside of Victoria, 20 Mary Avenue will showcase an exclusive collection of just 29, full floor and double storey apartments designed in partnership with Elenberg Fraser.

Each floor will house a 3-bedroom residence, with an elegant&nbsp;aesthetic, designed&nbsp;for the owner-occupier market.

20 Mary Avenue, Broadbeach will springboard off the back of Little Project&rsquo;s Gold Coast debut project, Signature Broadbeach, which sold out its 245 apartments located just around the corner from the proposed 20 Mary Avenue, Broadbeach.

According to the developer, panoramic ocean views can be witnessed from podium to penthouse, with never to be built out vistas as a result of the development&rsquo;s positioning behind Broadbeach State School.

Architecture firm Elenberg Fraser’s top projects on Urban

Investors and first home buyers have both been attracted to Spring St, the newest mixed-use development slated for Box Hill.

The low price point in the project, the first in Box Hill designed by the renowned architecture firm Elenberg Fraser, has both investors and first home buyers on alert, with the latter given the opportunity to get on the ladder in an apartment tower at the centre of everything.

Prices start from a low $395,000 for one-bedroom apartments and $545,000 for two-bedroom apartments, both well below Melbourne&#39;s median of $610,000, calculated by CoreLogic.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100675 project_image_fid=162055]

That median value has soared over 2021, having started the year at $576,000. Growth so far in the calendar year has been around 5.6 per cent.

There&#39;s predicted to be continued growth in Melbourne&rsquo;s apartment market, due to its current under-supply in apartments and the return of overseas migration, with both overseas renters and investors playing a major role in driving growth.

Spring St isn&#39;t due for completion until 2024, which gives buyers the opportunity to see the capital gains before the apartment is even finished.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100675 project_image_fid=170524]

So far the location of Spring St, on the corner of Spring and Nelson Street, has been one of the most attractive aspects for prospective buyers.

Set in a quiet and leafy area in the bustling heart of Box Hill, Spring St provides convenient public transport, with the 109 tram, trains and buses nearby, as well as local shops and cafes. The ground level of Spring St will also home a number of retail and dining options.

Within a few hundred metres is the Box Hill RSL and Bowls Club, which meets Box Hill Gardens, a one kilometre urban park with sports courts, a running track, barbecue areas, ponds, and a playground.

Box Hill Central is a short walk, as are educational institutions for all ages, including Mont Albert Primary, Our Lady of Sion College, and Box Hill High.

The impressive amenity list at Spring St has also attracted those keen to own and occupy.

The development of 312 apartments will feature a 25 metre pool with spa, a sauna, gym, and a yoga room.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100675 project_image_fid=170527]

There will be a games lounge and two entertainment suites, as well as a private dining room with a kitchen, available to book by residents.

Landscaping was a key part of the design, with Tract Consultants creating two outdoor communal spaces, an outdoor garden on the third level podium, and a rooftop garden on level 26.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100675 project_image_fid=170528]

The generously sized apartments start from 52 sqm for the one-bedroom apartments, with a further eight sqm of balconies. The average size of one-bedroom apartments in Melbourne is sub-50 sqm.

Spring St&rsquo;s apartments will feature stone bench tops in the kitchen, and floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the living area to maximise the views high above Box Hill Gardens, to the Melbourne CBD, and as far as Mount Dandenong.

Spring St isn't due for completion until 2024, which gives buyers the opportunity to see the capital gains before the apartment is even finished

Developers <a href="/developers/beulah">Beulah International</a> are constantly pushing the boundaries to deliver refreshing developments to the Australian market – however, their latest development has really caught out attention. <a href="/buildings/890-toorak-road-camberwell">Provenance Camberwell</a> is a boutique collection of ten house-sized residences, situated within the epicentre of Camberwell, in Melbourne’s east. The development is segmented into three residential offerings, with Botanic apartments on level one, Epicure apartments across the middle floor, and Domain apartments on the upper level.

<h2>SPOTLIGHT ON BOTANIC APARTMENTS</h2>

Being situated on the ground floor, means Botanic apartment residents have access to their own private gardens which have been thoughtfully designed by renowned landscape architecture firm Openwork. The focus of the gardens aims to pay homage to the suburb’s leafy streets, while also nurturing a thriving ecosystem, with Openwork’s carefully considered plant selection consisting of high-nectar producing plants to attract birdlife.

Openwork founder Mark Jacques commented that the gardens of Provenance have been designed “as a love letter to the native birds of Melbourne”.

<blockquote>
“The landscape architecture will create a rambunctious native garden and a moment of green dissonance in the urban environment has been specifically designed to express a textural and verdant type of native garden; with the particular ambition of attracting honey and nectar-eating bird life.”
</blockquote>

<figcaption>Botanic apartment's open-plan interiors. Credit: Beulah International</figcaption></figure>All four Botanic homes, designed by architecture firm <a href="/architects/fraser-partners-0">Elenberg Fraser</a>, feature timeless, open-plan living areas and a seamless connection to the outdoors, provided by large stacker-slider doors. Each meticulously landscaped garden will contain mature trees, vibrant guinea flowers, sprawling variegated spur flowers and bountiful ‘happy wanderers’, creating luscious sanctuaries, and a respite from urban city living.

<blockquote>
“The gardens will supercharge the character of the building by seeing both the ground plane and balconies as a single and immersive landscape, populated with plants that contribute to local biodiversity by radically increasing the biomass and diversity of the site.”
</blockquote>

Mark Jacques, Openwork Landscape Architects

Beulah International Director Adelene Teh explained that the goal for Provenance was to create spaces where there would be no trade-off on space, comfort or security.

<blockquote>
“Each of the four residences is enveloped in its own sanctuary. It blurs the lines between indoors and outdoors, with floor to ceiling windows, and a courtyard that is ripe with greenery. The space is perfect for those who love to entertain outdoors all year round.”

Ormond Group to launch two new hotel concepts in central Melbourne by 2022

<html><body>
The latest apartment building within Williamstown's Waterline Place development has reached structural completion.

Gem is a 10 storey Elenebrg Fraser-designed complex which has been entrusted to head contractor Buildcorp Commercial. Architect, builder and developer AV Jennings' personnel marked the occasion earlier this week with a ceremonial ribbon cutting.

The <a href="/buildings/gem-25-windsor-terrace-williamstown">undulating building</a> form now fronts Kanowna Street and enjoys unfettered view of Port Phillip Bay and Melbourne's CBD.

AV Jennings' Victorian General Manager Angus Johnson noted Waterline Place's overall importance to both the developer and wider Williamstown community. Heavily vested in house and land projects, Waterline Place marks the developer's first foray into the Melbourne apartment market.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public//pictures/article-images/image5_23.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="AVJennings' Angus Johnson during the photo opportunity"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="326" src="/sites/urban.melbourne/files//styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/image5_23.jpg?itok=4WCwa_-N" title="AVJennings' Angus Johnson during the photo opportunity" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>AVJennings' Angus Johnson during the photo opportunity</figcaption></figure><blockquote>
Yesterday we shared an intimate celebration complete with future residents and the various consultant teams who have been instrumental in bringing Gem to life, serving to demonstrate the project’s ongoing commitment to creating a close-knit community.

Gem topping out is a proud moment for AVJennings as it represents a significant milestone in the delivery of beautifully-appointed, quality apartments to an area where supply is incredibly limited and demand is at an all-time high. Gem at Waterline Place has offered local downsizers the opportunity to stay in the suburb they know and love while not compromising on quality, so we are thrilled to be one step closer to welcoming these residents into their homes.

Momentum is really building across the masterplanned community now so the entire team is looking forward to continuing to nurture the Waterline Place community as it establishes.

<figcaption>Gem as designed by Elenberg Fraser</figcaption></figure>To date 70 per cent of Gem's buyers are from Williamstown, with select purchasers choosing to amalgamate multiple apartments to create larger homes. As internal fitouts progress on Gem, AV Jennings will turn its eye toward the next stages of development which constitute Waterline Place's $450 million end value.

Overall the development is earmarked for 510 dwellings; a mix of 100 townhouses and 410 apartments. Gem and the completed Rosny apartment building amount to 175 of the total 410 apartments.

Elenberg Fraser has also designed an eight storey, 62 apartment building at 3-39 Nelson Place, although that building has yet to come to fruition as part of the overall development.

Waterline Place in its entirety has a nominal completion date of 2022.
