Momentum at Highett Common, Victoria’s first medium-density, Net Zero-targeted masterplanned community, continues to build.

Developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sunkin-property-group">Sunkin Property Group</a> will soon launch Habitat, the latest and most boutique stage to date. The 57 apartments are positioned on a rare island site with&nbsp;direct frontage to the Northern Common parklands.

“Habitat at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/highett-common-37-graham-road-highett-vic-3190">Highett Common</a> is an exclusive offering meticulously designed to reflect the character of the local Bayside area,” said Scott Jessop, Head of Sales &amp; Marketing at Sunkin Property Group.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=351231]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/clarke-hopkins-clarke">Clarke Hopkins Clarke</a>, Habitat prioritises natural connection.

“Apartments have been designed to maximise this connection to nature from indoor to outdoor spaces through adjacent balconies and terraces, and proximity to public parks and open spaces," ClarkeHopkins Clarke Partner Toby Lacuhlan says.

"Highett Common as a whole was designed to maximise connection to nature and a bayside lifestyle, and Habitat is really at the heart of that. It’s designed as a space where the community can come together through the inclusion of community amenities like the café and library."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=6854]

Interiors feature light-filled layouts,&nbsp;timber detailing, and customisation options that allow buyers to personalise their homes. Kitchens form the centrepiece of each apartment, with options for sculptural or freestanding island benches, complemented by Bosch appliances and induction cooktops.

Clarke Hopkins Clarke Associate Interior Designer Michelle Cavicchiolo said they've gone for a "timeless aesthetic",&nbsp;with the materials, fixtures and fittings designed for longevity.

"All of these features, along with functional apartment layouts, contribute to a premium aesthetic.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=351227]

Beyond the homes, Habitat connects directly to Highett Common’s new library and café, while the wider precinct offers indoor and outdoor pools, a gym, wellness areas, cinema, and resident lounge.

Highett Station, just two minutes away, links the project to Melbourne’s broader transport network, while nearby shopping and dining on Highett Road adds to the convenience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=351230]

For buyers, the release comes at a pivotal time in the market. Off the plan purchasers may access stamp duty savings of up to $85,000, while the First Home Owners Guarantee Scheme is set to expand in October 2025, removing income caps and lifting property price thresholds to $950,000 in Melbourne. Together with five per cent deposits, these measures open the door for more first-home buyers and upgraders to enter Bayside.

“There’s never been a better time to take advantage of our newest stage, with a wealth of customisation available, you can truly create the home of your dreams in a highly desirable middle-ring bayside suburb of Melbourne,” Jessop added.

Like the majority of new development in Melbourne, Sunkin is starting to interstate investors return to the city, viewing the market as&nbsp;undervalued, with strong growth forecast through 2026 and 2027.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/maison-broadbeach-22-chelsea-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4218">Maison</a> will comprise just 21 full-floor apartments across 22 levels on Chelsea Avenue, one of the most in-demand streets in Broadbeach given its position across the road from Broadbeach Park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113008 project_image_fid=318661]

Each three-bedroom residence spans over 180 sqm and features open-plan living and dining areas that extend to private balconies with parkland and coastal views.

&nbsp;

Buyers can choose between two interior schemes, Lumière, with a light coastal palette, or Noir, with warmer, darker tones, designed in collaboration with Poppy Designs.&nbsp;

Premium finishes include Siemens and Bosch appliances, Vintec wine fridges, Villeroy &amp; Boch fittings, and herringbone flooring throughout the main living areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113008 project_image_fid=318653]

Residents will have access to a suite of rooftop amenities on level 24, including a pool and deck, gym and sauna, residents’ lounge, and barbecue pavilion, all designed to make the most of elevated views over Broadbeach and the Surfers Paradise skyline.

The development sits on a quiet, tree-lined street just a short walk from the heart of Broadbeach, where cafés, restaurants, retail, and the beach converge.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113008 project_image_fid=318651]

Broadbeach pipeline grows as Morris Property Group launches construction of Maison

One of the most boutique developments to launch in Wollongong for several years has hit the market.

Mind Property has teamed up with Insight Development Group to deliver <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/coast-wollongong-1-church-street-wollongong-nsw-2500">COAST</a>, just 12 luxury apartments in a sculptural nine-level building toward the northern end of the suburb.

With its elevated positioning on Church Street and expansive views across the Pacific Ocean and escarpment, the project is designed to suit the downsizing owner-occupier.

Daniel Kostovski of Rise Projects, who is selling COAST, says there is a lot of local interest from those with ties to Wollongong.

"They’ve either remained here or are planning on returning from Sydney," Kostovski says.

"COAST is designed for those who want easy, elevated living with everything at their doorstep."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144797 project_image_fid=350666]

Each of the first four floors hosts just two apartments per level, before giving way to a series of full-floor residences above, culminating in a double-storey penthouse with its own private rooftop pool.&nbsp;

The apartments are generously proportioned, with a strong skew toward three and four-bedroom layouts.

The location, moments from North Wollongong Beach, the Blue Mile, and key amenity precincts, underpins that lifestyle appeal.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144797 project_image_fid=350669]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/prd-architects">PRD Architects</a>, the interior feature tactile materials such as solid marble, artisan joinery, fluted glass, and natural timber accents. Kitchens are fitted with Miele appliances and integrated wine fridges, as well as a central island benches designed for entertaining.

Three sub-penthouses, the Skyhome Collection, and the crowning penthouse residence showcase COAST’s most luxurious offering, complete with open-air terraces, marble fireplaces, and statement curved detailing throughout.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144797 project_image_fid=350689]

COAST’s arrival marks a rare development in a tightly held part of Wollongong, with little new supply coming through the local development pipeline.

Construction is scheduled to commence in late 2025, with completion targeted for mid-2027.&nbsp;

COAST to deliver one of Wollongong's most luxurious new developments

Developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/leeka-group">Leeka</a> has received the green light for its new Prahran project, providing a rare opportunity to live opposite Australia’s oldest-running food market, Prahran Market.

Located at 182-194 Commercial Road, on the corner of Izett Street, Leeka will create a mixed-use development that will&nbsp;complement the iconic Prahran Market with retail, dining and public amenity, in addition to a residential offering that explores multi-dimensional wellness.

&nbsp;

Designed by renowned architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, the development will be known as Comme Prahran and will blend heritage and modern architecture across eight levels, featuring a collection of 32 one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom residences.

Comme Prahran will incorporate the existing structure, a two-storey Edwardian-era retail hub characterised by its interwar old English style. It will be preserved and woven into the contemporary design of the project.

The project’s commitment to health and wellbeing, art, sustainability, and technology will further be revealed through various yet-to-be-announced offerings.

Leeka Director Chek Ming Cheng said the project’s blend of Prahran’s rich history and vibrant future is what makes it unique.

“Prahran has long been a cosmopolitan hub, known for its vibrant dining, retail and social life alongside a strong community spirit," Cheng said.

"Its connection to the CBD, green spaces and public transport makes it a natural choice for people seeking both convenience and culture.&nbsp;Comme Prahran will create a contemporary place with a timeless character, blending heritage and modern design to foster creativity and inclusivity."

Chosen for its wealth of experience and knowledge within the Stonnington area, Cera Stribley Managing Principal Domenic Cerantonio said the practice was excited to work with the team on its Prahran offering.

“What makes this brief special is its focus on creating a vibrant, integrated community hub that celebrates Prahran's past while embracing its future,"&nbsp;Cerantonio said.

"As a firm with deep roots in Prahran, this project was particularly meaningful to us, and we are excited to work alongside Leeka to bring their vision to life.”

Leeka, in partnership with Prime Edition, recently launched Avoca in South Yarra, comprising five whole- floor residences and one standalone house.

Leeka Group greenlit for wellness-centred Prahran apartments

Builder-developer SEYAH has reworked plans for its debut Gold Coast apartment project, Cavella.

Led by brothers Liam and Michael Hayes, who have delivered apartments for the likes of McNab and Mirvac, SEYAH will now bring 18 residences to Sunset Boulevard, an underdeveloped pocket of Surfers Paradise just minutes from the centre.

The revised scheme reduces the apartment count from 30 to 18, introducing larger two- and three-bedroom layouts. The 12-level tower, down from 17 levels previously proposed, will also feature five full-floor residences.

The project, dubbed Cavella, a name derived from the grace of Italian artistry, has been designed by BDA and draws inspiration from the flowing forms of classical architecture and the refined ease of la dolce vita, expressed through softened curves and a sculptural silhouette.

<img alt="Sunset Boulevard perspective" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="21fc0982-0517-4d9b-ba8c-a41d99ff2fb8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Sunrise%20blvd%20building%20pers.png?VersionId=fD5SblLtKTRS8mbuPVaAMcQ1TlPZLxET" />

SEYAH has also shifted the resident amenity, activating the ground-level and connecting the facilities level to the canal. There will be a pool, gym, barbecue areas, fire pit, and both hot and cold plunge pools, and a sauna, while residents will also have direct access to a new pontoon and the use of a storage and parcel room.

On the site acquisition, Liam Hayes says Sunset Boulevard is surprisingly an underdeveloped pocket of Surfers Paradise.

"It has all the hallmarks of what makes a great development," Hayes says.

"It sits on the water, offers unobstructed views from every apartment to the Gold Coast skyline, and is a short walk into Surfers and Broadbeach."

<img alt="Sunset Boulevard building" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="34b8030e-01f0-4f18-8ab6-4162e68da8fe" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Sunrise%20blvd%20building.png?VersionId=SQ.Oc6t5kTomIXAJyH4BGtSkuubjwXNR" />

SEYAH, which is both developing and building the project, has slated a Q4 2025 pre-sales launch through SRQ Projects Director Nicholas Clydsdale. They are anticipating to start construction in Q1 2026 and complete around Q4 2027.

The move into residential apartments was a natural progression for the business, Hayes says. The builder-developer will look at exploring more opportunities at the start of 2026.

The popular New South Wales property developer&nbsp;Third.i has launched the last remaining homes in its luxurry Paragon of Pyrmont project.

The $113 million project, which officially wrapped up construction of its 31 residences in 2021, has just two homes remaining.

The final townhouses have three and four-bedrooms and are priced between $3.95 million and $4.5 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5761 project_image_fid=198493]

The project is a rare offering for the suburb, largely dominated by apartment living.

According to the most recent Australian Bureau of Statistics data from 2016, over 92 per cent of available dwellings in Pyrmont consisted of apartments and units with just 6.5 per cent townhouse dwellings available.

The buyers so far in Paragon of Pyrmont have mostly been downsizers and owner-occupiers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5761 project_image_fid=198491]

Third.i&nbsp;Co-Founder and Director of Sales and Marketing Luke Berry says the remaining townhouses won&rsquo;t last long in a hungry market.

&ldquo;Paragon of Pyrmont is the epitome of spacious and luxury living in the epicentre of the city of Sydney,&quot; Berry said.

&quot;We are thrilled to see our final two residences hit the market and couldn&rsquo;t be prouder of the calibre we have created with the project in tailoring it to suit all buyer lifestyles.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5761 project_image_fid=198490]

&ldquo;Buyers will feel the quality and consideration given to the project the minute they walk through the front door. We have combined city living and spacious living to create the ultimate residence in a suburb renowned for apartment and unit offerings.

&ldquo;Buyers are drawn to the uniqueness of townhomes available in Pyrmont and the fact these final residences are complete and ready to move into makes the listings even more desirable.&rdquo;

Each townhouse is kitted out with high-end Gaggenau appliances, a smart home system that can be access remotely, and an entertainment unit with a hydraulic television lift. There&#39;s also private lift access direct from the garage, which is met by a wine room with storage for around 250 bottles.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5761 project_image_fid=198494]

Crowning each townhouse is a private rooftop terrace, complete with an outdoor kitchen and watering system for green, lush gardens, as well as a sundeck which benefits from city top views.

&ldquo;Paragon of Pyrmont just has it all in terms of spacious living, high-end amenities, access to local shops and transport, all while situated in the heart of Sydney with some of the most famous harbour views the city has to offer,&quot; Berry added.

&quot;This is a project Third.i will forever be proud of and joins our growing list of legacy projects for generations to come.&quot;
