<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/draycon">Draycon Building</a> is nearing completion of Boutique Chevron Island, a 42-apartment development on the northern end of Chevron Island at 17–19 Parneno Street, with a limited-time offer of fully furnished apartments available.

Now more than 90 per cent complete, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/boutique-chevron-island-17-19-parneno-chevron-island-qld-4217">Boutique</a> has been shaped by one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held island addresses, where riverfront outlooks and walkable access to Surfers Paradise converge.

For Draycon Building Managing Director Howard Dabit, the appeal of the site was immediate.

“I knew it was a good site as soon as I saw it,” Dabit said.

“The position and location on the north end of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>, the way the river swirls around the site basically from the north to the east, it feels like the site is surrounded by the water. The height that we’ve got and the aspect looking north is beautiful. Eighty per cent of the apartments are looking north so they get that drenching sunlight coming in.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360922]

That northern orientation places the development within a stretch of Chevron Island defined by open river aspects and skyline views, while remaining embedded in the suburb’s established village setting.

Chevron Island has increasingly drawn owner-occupiers seeking centrality without the intensity of high-rise beachfront living. Positioned at the geographical centre of the Gold Coast, the island offers direct access to both the beach and key cultural infrastructure while retaining a neighbourhood-scale character.

Connected by bridge to Surfers Paradise, Chevron Island offers walkable access to beaches, riverfront parklands and a revitalised foreshore boulevard animated by walkers and cyclists throughout the day. The Pacific Ocean is only minutes away, reinforcing the suburb’s dual river-and-surf identity.

At the same time, Thomas Drive forms the spine of the island’s village life, delivering cafés, wine bars, casual dining and everyday services within easy reach. Independent grocers, wellness operators and neighbourhood retailers contribute to a community atmosphere that remains distinct from the vertical scale of the beachfront.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360915]

In the opposite direction, the Green Bridge links directly to HOTA – Home of the Arts – placing galleries, performance venues and parklands within walking distance. Weekly markets and major exhibitions draw visitors from across the region, while residents return to a quieter residential pocket at day’s end.

Public transport, including nearby bus routes and the G:link light rail corridor along the coastal spine, strengthens connectivity north and south. Griffith University, the Gold Coast University Hospital precinct and established private schools such as The Southport School are all within a short drive.

Ongoing investment across Surfers Paradise, HOTA and the broader Southport corridor has elevated amenity while preserving Chevron Island’s comparatively low-rise residential character. It is this balance, walkable village atmosphere paired with metropolitan-scale infrastructure, that continues to differentiate the suburb from higher-density beachfront precincts.

Boutique comprises just 42 residences, designed to maximise river and skyline outlooks within this tightly held island setting.

Boutique Chevron Island is slated for completion in April 2026, with prices starting from $1,220,000.

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> has secured planning approval for a $300 million residential development in Lindfield, marking the company’s second project on Sydney’s North Shore and its first on the Upper North Shore.

Located on Beaconsfield Parade and designed by DKO Architecture, the state significant development comprises three buildings of up to 10 storeys and will include 399 residences, including 59 affordable homes and 40 adaptable homes.

Residences will range in size from one, two and three bedrooms, with two-bedroom apartments accounting for over 60 per cent of the product make-up. Residents will have access to a broad suite of amenities, including a wellness area, indoor and outdoor recreational spaces, a pool, a gym, a community room and a golf simulator.

In line with Deicorp’s long-standing focus on creating transit-oriented communities, the project is located just 260 metres from the Lindfield Train Station, reinforcing its role in delivering well-connected housing close to established infrastructure, retail and local services.

The inclusion of affordable and adaptable housing supports greater diversity within the local market, while the mix of apartment types responds to demand from downsizers, young professionals and families seeking access to the Upper North Shore.

Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri OAM said the approval represents an important milestone for both the company and the suburb

“This approval allows us to deliver well-designed homes in a location that is already supported by strong transport and community infrastructure," Deiri said.

"Our focus is on creating places that integrate into their surroundings and provide long-term value for residents, and the broader Lindfield community. Being within walking distance of the station ensures this project supports sustainable growth in the right locations."

Across its portfolio, Deicorp currently has 4,703 apartments under construction, playing a leading role in shaping connected, liveable communities across Sydney.

Its expanding portfolio of Metro-linked developments includes Tallawong Village, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-five-dock-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> in Five Dock, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hyde-metropolitan-sydney-133-141-liverpool-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Hyde Metropolitan</a> in Sydney CBD, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/falcon-alexander-crows-nest-8-alexander-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Falcon &amp; Alexander</a> in Crows Nest and Showground Village, Castle Hill.

Deicorp purchased the Beaconsfield Paradise site last year. Construction is scheduled to commence in Q2 of 2026 and will be completed in 2029.

In a joint venture with The Trump Organization, Australia developer Altus Property Group has announced plans to bring a Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower to the Gold Coast, marking the first Trump-branded project in Australia.

"Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast is our first official project in Australia and reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering world-class luxury experiences in iconic locations around the world," Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, said.

"This development exemplifies the Trump brand’s dedication to quality, sophistication, and unmatched service, and we are thrilled to bring this vision to the vibrant Gold Coast community."

The 91-storey building, which will become the tallest in Australia at 335 metres, will feature a&nbsp;285-room luxury hotel bearing the trademark Trump logo. It will also include 272 luxury residential apartments, a three-level podium with an exclusive Beach Club, and over 3,400 sqm of premium commercial, retail, and dining space, revitalizing the central Surfers Paradise precinct.

“Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast will be a truly unique offering in the Australian market, bringing the prestige and allure of a world-class luxury brand,"&nbsp;Altus founder and chief executive David Young said.

"Altus Property Group is proud of its track record in delivering landmark developments across Australia, and our expertise ensures this project will be an outstanding success."

Trump Hotel heads for the Gold Coast to become Australia's tallest building

More than a century after the Corrimal Coke Works first opened in 1912, the industrial landmark that helped shape the suburb is being reinterpreted as a walkable residential neighbourhood, with Stage One of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-works-stage-one-27-railway-street-corrimal-nsw-2518">The Works</a> now underway at 27 Railway Street.

For 102 years, the site was central to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/corrimal-nsw-2518">Corrimal</a>’s economic and social identity before operations ceased in 2014. Rather than erasing that legacy, developer Legacy Property has embedded it into the masterplan, retaining and reinterpreting elements such as the iconic 1912 brick chimney and sections of the original C1 Coke Oven Battery, alongside the adaptive reuse of the former powerhouse building.

Stage One will introduce 181 apartments across low-rise buildings, offering predominantly two and three-bedroom residences with completion targeted for mid-2027. The scale and configuration reflect a deliberate focus on owner-occupiers, targeting those seeking a lower-maintenance home in a prime location within the northern suburbs of Wollongong.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359833]

Apartments have been designed to maximise natural light and cross-ventilation, with floor-to-ceiling glazing extending living areas onto generous balconies. Engineered timber flooring, induction cooktops and 900mm ovens in larger residences support everyday functionality, while two interior palettes allow buyers to tailor finishes to their preferences. The material selection draws on a restrained coastal language, intended to connect homes to their surroundings rather than compete with them.

The Works forms part of a broader 18-hectare masterplan that will ultimately deliver around 550 dwellings, new parks, and a heritage precinct celebrating the site’s past. More than seven hectares are dedicated to open space, including Southern Park and a Village Green with community gardens and recreation areas. The creek corridor is being rehabilitated with 150,000 native plantings, restoring biodiversity to the site and softening landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359841]

Positioned adjacent to Corrimal Station and within walking distance of Corrimal Town Centre, the precinct places daily essentials, rail connections and local retail within easy reach. Wollongong CBD, including the hospital, university and entertainment venues, sits approximately 6.5 kilometres to the south.

For buyers more familiar with North Wollongong, Corrimal offers a different proposition: a well-established coastal suburb framed by beaches to the east and the escarpment to the west, with a strong sense of local identity shaped in part by the former Coke Works. The Works seeks to reinforce that identity by creating a connected, walkable neighbourhood between coast and escarpment, rather than a standalone apartment complex.

Sustainability underpins the development approach. The Works is targeting Wollongong’s first 5-Star Green Star-rated community, with water-sensitive urban design, recycled materials and energy-efficient buildings integrated across the masterplan. For residents, these measures provide not only environmental benefits but also reduced operational costs and future resilience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359842]

With construction commenced and display materials available to view, prospective buyers can now engage more directly with the project’s vision, reviewing floorplans, material selections and the broader masterplan in detail. For many local homeowners weighing a move, the opportunity to experience how heritage, landscape and contemporary design intersect may help bridge the gap between familiarity and the next chapter.

As Stage One progresses toward its mid-2027 completion, The Works represents a significant chapter in Corrimal’s evolution, transforming a site that once powered local industry into a walkable residential precinct designed for its next generation of residents.

When it comes to developing in Melb​ourne's Bayside region, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lowe-living">Lowe Living</a> knows exactly what buyers want.

With a longstanding presence in the area and a string of sell-out projects, Lowe Living consistently delivers developments that are as sought-after as their predecessors.

Their latest instalment is in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-vic-3188">Hampton</a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-east-vic-3188">&nbsp;East,</a> the same postcode where they have previously delivered Hampton Hill and Oceano. The developer-builder recently commenced construction on its newest project,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marella-hampton-31-35-alicia-street-hampton-east-vic-3188">Marella</a>, a collection of 32 apartments just five minutes from the beach.

Site acquisition is paramount to success. Lowe Living rarely brings a building to market that isn’t within walking distance of essential amenities, whether it be the beach, a prominent retail strip, or a train station. Marella is no exception, located at its Alicia Street address, less than a kilometre from the retail heart of Hampton Street and Hampton Station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358495]

Equally important to Lowe Living is the architecture.

For Marella, they appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, who explains that the architectural vision was to create a contemporary reinterpretation of the Californian bungalow, a style that’s iconic to Hampton’s heritage.

"By borrowing, abstracting, and reinterpreting elements of this quintessential style, such as strong datum lines, articulated columns, exposed structures, and roof tiles, our design strikes a balance between modernity and familiarity," says Cera Stribley.

"This approach ensures that the development is not only visually appealing but also contextually sensitive, resonating with Hampton's existing architectural landscape."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358499]

The building features terracotta brick, soft cream masonry, and exposed metal detailing, giving it a tactile presence that is intended to weather gently over time.

Internally, the focus on lasting quality continues, with two and three-bedroom residences anchored by sculptural stone kitchen islands, natural light, and clearly defined transitions between living, dining, and outdoor spaces.

The layouts have been carefully designed. Open-plan zones extend to private balconies, with light-filled interiors and generous kitchen proportions, supported by Miele wall ovens, induction cooktops, and integrated fridge-freezers. These are not small apartments rebranded as luxury; they have been designed at scale, with ample storage, hotel-style entry access, and secure basement parking provided as standard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358492]

At the uppermost level, Marella’s Signature Collection penthouses offer city or bay views, large entertaining terraces (some with outdoor spas), and elevated finishes, including fully wrapped stone kitchen benches and a Liebherr wine fridge.

Flexible room arrangements allow for a fourth bedroom or secondary living space, sought-after by both empty nesters who want the space when family visits and families with older children.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358498]

A residents’ lounge on the ground floor reinforces the project’s small-community feel. With a fireplace, private dining area, and adjoining terrace, it’s one of several shared spaces that balance amenity with privacy and scale.

Construction has commenced, with completion expected in early 2027.

Fawkner

<html><body>
Fawkner House, a collection of nine large-scale dwellings created in Melbourne’s South Yarra, has listed its limited remaining residences.
Located in the Domain precinct, <a href="/news/beulah-international-hits-the-hyper-luxury-heights-in-kew" target="_blank">Fawkner House</a> is nestled between Walsh and Marne Streets at 146 Toorak Road West.
The home offerings were designed by architect Rob Mills, offering progressive design, large-scale residences and penthouses and commanding views over Fawkner Park.
“It's the height of the land, and with that comes light, space, better quality of air, opportunity for phenomenal views. It’s all those wonderful ingredients that makes something special”, Mills said.
Developed by <a href="/developers/beulah">Beulah</a>, the home takes inspiration from Le Corbusier’s 1954 chapel Notre Dame du Haut in Ronchamp, France.
The remaining three and four-bedroom residences are listed with prices starting from $5.49 million.
The top-level of the residence is split between two grand penthouses, while the basement includes private garages for each residence.
Its other offerings include curved wall features, natural stone and custom oak joinery.
Construction for the project remains on track for completion in early 2021.
Other projects in the pipeline from the developer includes <a href="/news/beulah-international-submits-planning-application-for-southbank-by-beulah?utm_source=PropertyObserver%20" target="_blank">Southbank by Beulah</a>, which is set to become Australia’s tallest tower.
The Victorian Government gave the green light to the $2 billion project in March 2020, which will feature two twisting terraces called the ‘green spine’.

HTW expects Melbourne’s north to see continued good growth in suburbs such as Hadfield and Fawkner, according to its February 2017 update.
The valuation firm says due to the suburbs proximity to the CBD (approximately 15 kilometres) and being serviced by two train stations, they are well-positioned to deliver further growth over the year ahead.
“Another major reason we expect these suburbs to perform well is due to the unaffordability in suburbs in the inner north such as Brunswick, Northcote and Thornbury,” the report says.
Currently the median house price for Hadfield is $650,000 and for Fawkner it is $614,000.
A three bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-vic-hadfield-123624770" target="_blank">15 Lawrence Street</a>, Hadfield (above) was sold for $678,000.
Similarly a three bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-vic-hadfield-123730950" target="_blank">14 Tassell Street</a>, Hadfield (below) was sold for $660,000.

HTW also tips Mernda as a suburb worth watching in 2017.
“Although the outer north east suburb only experienced moderate growth (6.5%) in 2016, the introduction of a railway extension from the South Morang station should result in further growth,” it says.

Fawkner and Hadfield the spots to watch in Melbourne's north: HTW

<html><body>
PRDnationwide nominated three suburbs as its affordable 2017 house hotspots in Melbourne in its Melbourne Property Hotspots: Second Half of 2016 report.
Fawkner
OVERVIEW
Approx. distance from CBD: 12km
Median house price: $577,500
<ul>
<li>2 Bed Median Price $535,500</li>
<li>3 Bed Median Price $570,600</li>
<li>4+ Bed Median Price $647,250</li>
</ul>
Fawkner features again as a hotspot in the second half 2016 as this northern suburb of Melbourne continues to produce promising results.
Strong annual growth in median house price over the past year has fuelled interest in the area with developers keen on investing in Fawkner and surrounding suburbs.
Significantly lower vacancy rates than Melbourne (1.1% compared to 2.7%), and healthy rental yields of 3.2% also create an attractive investment environment.
A three bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-vic-fawkner-124272382" target="_blank">143 McBryde Street</a>, Fawkner (above) was recently sold for $582,000.

<li>4+ Bed Median Price $475,000</li>
</ul>
Located west of Melbourne CBD, Deer Park has plenty to offer with an affordable price tag.
The suburb has shown continual growth over the past three years, priming the area to be a hotspot in 2016.
Close to first half 2016 hotspot, Sunshine West, Deer Park is serviced by both train and bus services to the CBD.
Some $96.8 million of project developments have commenced in 2016, with $12.7 million focused on expanding and improving commercial and industrial facilities in the area.
A three bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-deer+park-124596282" target="_blank">72 Hatchlands Drive</a>, Deer Park (below) has been listed for sale for between $430,000 to $470,000.

The northern suburb of Mill Park is nestled amongst some of Melbourne's most promising suburbs.
Mill Park offers easy access to the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (Bundoora campus) and Mill Park Plaza.
The area is also serviced by bus and is only a short distance to train and tram stations.
Several projects are planned for the area including the Mill Park Community Pavilion aimed at improving facilities for sports, clubs and spectators for an estimated $2 million.

First off a proposal of huge proportions relative to its surrounds. Developer <a href="http://www.meydan.com.au/property-development/" target="_blank">Meydan Group</a> is running with the image below on their website for an intended mixed use development located in Fawkner. Seemingly on the western flank of the Hume Highway and near Gowrie Station, the proposal seeks a 15 level mixed use development with retail components, office space and 120+ apartments included. On a stretch of the Hume dominated by car dealerships and associated trades, yet ripe for redevelopment, a 15 level complex would surely make a statement - time will tell.

<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/Fawkner.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Fawkner proposal.

Closer to the big smoke and a swag of residential towers have been approved by Melbourne City Council of late. Among them a 17 level, 296 apartment development at 28-38 Pearl River Road, Docklands which gained approval on June 28th, as did a 16 level, 240 apartment development nearby at 3-43 Waterfront Way, Docklands. A final planning permit was issued for <a href="/buildings/33-north-33-racecourse-road-north-melbourne" target="_blank">Babylon Apartments</a> located at 33-39 Racecourse Road, North Melbourne during May while the nearby proposed 66-apartment <a href="/new-apartments/15-17-racecourse-road-north-melbourne" target="_blank">15-17 Racecourse Road</a> appears in the UrbanMelbourne.info database for the first time. May 30th saw <a href="/new-apartments/coventry-haus-33-coventry-street-southbank">33 Coventry Street, </a>Southbank given notice of a decision to grant a permit while the nearby development at 25-27 Coventry Street, Southbank revived its final permit also during May. More on these projects in due course.

Following up on this <a href="/news/the-wilson-street-microcosm" target="_blank">article</a> posted early last month, Salta Properties via SJB Planning have in recent days formally lodged plans with Stonnington for 31-41 Wilson Street, South Yarra. The image below by Fraher Design 3D depicts the Rothe Lowman-designed complex in situ along Wilson Street. Seeking approval for 88 apartments over 9 levels, more information on the project can be found <a href="/buildings/essence-35-wilson-street-south-yarra" target="_blank">here</a>.

Elsewhere in South Yarra, Melbourne High School have lodged plans for an underutilised piece of land at 661-663 Chapel Street. Designed by Bird de la Coeur, the four level building seen below will house an education centre and student accommodation, with retail fronting Chapel Street. This proposal is in line with developer Michael Yates' plans for the adjoining site, the outline of which can also be seen below. Initially submitted with two schemes, Michael Yates will seemingly pursue the lesser of the two proposals, details of which can be found <a href="/news/take-it-either-way-661-chapel-street-planning-application" target="_blank">here</a>.

<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/Image5651.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Melbourne High School proposal.

Image © Bird de la Coeur" typeof="foaf:Image"></a>

Moving to Brunswick now and two separate planning applications seek to continue the Anstey in development theme as outlined in this <a href="/news/anstey-in-development" target="_blank">article</a>. 26 Breese Street is a seven level complex yielding 64 apartments while 216 Albion Street nearby is seeking approval for an eight level apartment complex. Together these developments would add well over 100 apartments to an already booming pocket of Melbourne. West Brunswick hasn't been left behind either with a proposal for a nine level apartment complex with three levels of basement car parking at 1-5 Olive York Way.
