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

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

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

Sammut secures approval for debut Brisbane apartment development in Toowong

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

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

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

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

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

Footscray Apartments

Keystone Property Group's latest completed development, Ovation, offers a prime location in the <a href="/developments/footscray-vic-3011">heart of Footscray</a>, providing residents with the advantages of inner-city living while maintaining a sense of individuality.

The project, comprising 131 residences, was built by Platinum Construction and was finished in September 2022.

Keystone Property Group, a well-known local developer, has already made a mark in the <a href="/developments/footscray-vic-3011">booming Footscray area</a> with their previous successful projects, including The Buckley and Victoria Corner.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5490 project_image_fid=78490]

The design of <a href="/buildings/ovation-footscray-94-buckley-street-footscray">Ovation</a> was entrusted to Kavellaris Urban Design (KUD), led by owner Billy Kavellaris. The vision behind the development was to pay homage to <a href="/developments/footscray-vic-3011">Footscray's unique architectural character</a> while introducing a new level of design ingenuity to the area.

Ovation's building form stands out with its bold depiction of recessed voids, distinctive shapes, and protrusions. To enhance the aesthetic appeal, greenery has been strategically incorporated into the recesses on the façade, seamlessly blending the built form with lush, natural beauty.

John Patrick Landscape Architects contributed to the development by designing the verdant elements, further enhancing the overall aesthetic of the building.

Inside the apartments, residents can enjoy stunning views of the city skyline and the surrounding streetscapes through full-height windows that bathe the living spaces in ample sunlight. The interiors of <a href="/buildings/ovation-footscray-94-buckley-street-footscray">Ovation</a> have been meticulously crafted to create a harmonious connection with the outside environment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5490 project_image_fid=78492]

The living spaces feature textured timber joinery and oak floors, exuding a neutral warmth that provides a versatile canvas for buyers to personalise with their own memories and style. The kitchen areas boast modern concrete-finished benchtops, combining style and durability, alongside abundant integrated storage.

Ovation benefits from its central location, with easy access to public transport, schools, dining options, and recreational amenities. Residents can enjoy the convenience of urban living while experiencing the <a href="/developments/footscray-vic-3011">unique character of Footscray</a>.

All of the three-bedroom apartments are sold out, however there's a limited&nbsp;collection of one and two-bedroom apartments remaining.

Honouring its industrial past, Live City sets the tone for <a href="/developments/footscray-vic-3011">Footscray’s newest precinct</a>, where laneways, cafes, shops, public spaces and heritage buildings bring the new community to life.

Developers R&amp;F Property took to&nbsp;<a href="/buildings/live-city-124-188-ballarat-road-footscray">124-188 Ballarat Road</a> for the mixed-use masterplan community, with the first stage of <a href="/buildings/live-city-124-188-ballarat-road-footscray">Live City completed</a>&nbsp;in 2020. The 208-apartment building will sit alongside extensive residential amenity, healthcare facilities, everyday essentials and new restaurants and eateries.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3565 project_image_fid=68184]

Local construction firm LU Simon, established in 1955 by Professor Leo Simon, handled the build of the completed community, with <a href="/architects/fraser-partners-0">Elenberg Fraser</a> engaged for the designs.&nbsp;

Floor-to-ceiling glass in each apartment invites an abundance of natural light in, while the generously-sized balconies provide expansive outlooks over the suburb and towards the city skyline whilst also blending indoor and outdoor living.&nbsp;

Open plan living takes centre stage in the apartments, where kitchen, dining, and living areas seamlessly blend into communal spaces. The interiors feature timber flooring, reconstituted stone benchtops, and metallic highlights, in addition to the latest premium appliances and concealed storage solutions.

While each apartment is designed to capture the best angles and bathe in natural light, privacy remains a priority. Screening elements on the balconies ensure that residents can enjoy the views without compromising on seclusion.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3565 project_image_fid=76040]

The design also pays homage to the heritage of the site, with natural and neutral colours and textures reflecting the area's earthy, tactile rope factory history, while metallic elements, in a choice of two colour schemes, have been utilised, playing with shifting, reflecting light.

The master bedrooms feature generous walk-in robes, while the bathrooms incorporate built-in and additional storage - in the shower recess, vanity and under the sink.

The remaining apartments start from $468,000 for a one-bedroom, $493,000 for two bedrooms, and $690,000 for three bedrooms.

Inside Live City, Footscray's vibrant new hub

Crossley &amp; Bourke, the newest apartment development to launch in West Footscray, is offering a bit of something for everyone.

The project, which will have 110 apartments across two symmetrical buildings connected by a sky bridge, caters for every demographic, Bricks &amp; Mortar Director Sahil Bhasin, who is selling the project for developer M Property, says.

He expects first home buyers to be keen on the entry-level, one-bedroom apartments, which start from $455,000, and downsizers to be more focused on the larger two and three-bedroom apartments, the latter of which are priced from $859,000.

Some of the three-bedroom penthouses, with fireplaces and integrated Miele appliances, have extensive private terraces with over 100 sqm of outdoor space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134538 project_image_fid=215499]

"There's something for everyone in Crossley &amp; Bourke," Bhasin says, adding that he is also expecting to be fielding interest from investors for the one and two-bed apartments.

"There's a lot of appeal to both the project and the area which will attract investors," Bhasin said.

He was speaking to the infrastructure upgrades happening in the area, from the $77 million redevelopment of the neighbouring Victoria University Whitten Oval, home of the Western Bulldogs, to the $11 billion Metro tunnel, $6.7 billion Westgate Tunnel, and the new $1.5 billion Footscray Hospital Precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134538 project_image_fid=215501]

There's also a vacancy rate of just 1.3 per cent in the area, which has seen compound growth of 8.6 per cent in the last 12 months.

The location will be a big driver for all purchasers, Bhasin says, given the project's proximity to the train station and the popular Barkley Street.

It's a five-minute train to Footscray Markets and Footscray Central's amenity, while just 15 minutes to the Melbourne CBD. There's 10 educational facilities, from childcare through to tertiary and adult education, less than two kilometres from the front door.

Artisan Architects Director John Hair, who designed the project, said the&nbsp;facade speaks to the neighbourhood’s industrial past - exhibiting red brick, concrete and steel.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134538 project_image_fid=215505]

"While the overall design blends strong clean lines with multiple parts that combine to form one cohesive whole, inspired by the many facets of the community and its unique character."

Hair says the&nbsp;landscape design brings a layer of greenery that is integrated into the recesses of the façade and the central sky garden is inspired by the traditional village green and central square where the community comes together to socialise and celebrate.

The building is targeting a 8.3 NatHERs rating, with each apartment featuring passive solar design and ventilation through its&nbsp;own self-contained ventilation system that flows directly to the outdoor area, rather than through internal ducts or a complex roof ventilation system, delivering clean, fresh air into the apartment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134538 project_image_fid=215504]

The project is being delivered by M Property, who have already completed demolition on the Cross Street site. Valeo Constructions is handling the build.

The project will feature a wellness centre,&nbsp;which will be taken over by an independent business when the building is completed, around Q4 2024.

Crossley & Bourke apartments launch in West Footscray

Bensons Property Group have tapped into the first home buyer market with their Footscray development, Liberty One.&nbsp;

It's been a popular choice among buyers looking for an affordable but luxurious living option that not far from the CBD and the best Melbourne has to offer.&nbsp;

With the first residents already settling into their new homes, interested buyers should act fast as a limited number of opportunities remain to secure a spot in the sought-after community.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=709 project_image_fid=212376]

The remaining one-bedroom apartments are priced from $588,995 and boast generously sized floorplans, making them perfect for owner-occupiers, with the two-bedders priced from $657,798, complete with two-bathrooms and a car space.&nbsp;

The demand for Liberty One is high, and as Footscray continues to grow in popularity, the available apartments now feature an upgraded interior scheme.

The new interior design includes premium fixtures, such as engineered oak timber floors and deluxe reconstituted stone benchtops. The apartments also come with high-end appliances, including a semi-integrated dishwasher, oven, rangehood, and cooktop.

Liberty One also offers the latest 'smart home' technology, making everyday tasks more seamless, safe, and effortless.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=709 project_image_fid=210292]

The fully integrated wireless GPOS system allows residents to control their appliances through their phone or tablet, while the advanced digital home security system offers keyless entry into the apartments, ensuring both convenience and safety.

The apartments are fitted with an integrated intercom system that connects to a smartphone app. Visitors can easily select the person they want to contact using a touch screen intercom, and residents can answer, view, talk, and release the door from their mobile, from anywhere in the world.

Topping out ceremonies are a time-honoured tradition that signify the successful completion of the structural phase of a project.

For centuries, these ceremonies have celebrated the moment a structure reaches its highest point, marking this milestone of construction and granting the opportunity for the individuals involved in the construction of the project to celebrate the progress made.

Modern day, topping out ceremonies are celebratory affairs that bring together project teams to observe the progress made on site, as well as an opportunity to thank the people involved in erecting the structure.

In June, Bensons Property Group and Hickory celebrated the topping out of Liberty One, Bensons contemporary Footscray apartment development.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=709 project_image_fid=200205]

In honour of tradition, tree or sapling branch are still included in these ceremonies. In Liberty One&rsquo;s case, a native gum tree was brought in to honour not only this tradition but pay respect to the traditional land the project stand on.

Rick Curtis, Bensons Property Group Managing Director, said the team&nbsp;are proud to have arrived at this tremendous milestone of topping out the construction of Liberty One at Footscray.

&quot;This ceremony is symbolic in many ways, but is especially importantly it is a celebration of the support provided by all of those involved in the project,&quot; Curtis said.

&quot;It is through their hard work and perseverance that it is successfully moving to completion.

&quot;Liberty One will be a landmark of the inner west of Melbourne that will welcome a lively community of new residents.&rdquo;

There are sweeping views back to the Melbourne CBD from the Liberty One rooftop, as well as over Flemington Racecourse.

Liberty One rises 24 levels from its Warde Street site, set near the burgeoning Joseph Road precinct, some 12,000 sqm&nbsp;of restaurants, cafes and wine bars, three new parks, yoga studios, gyms and a large-scale commercial supermarket.

Liberty One&nbsp;was designed by&nbsp;CHT Architects, whose&nbsp;design intent was to create a building that reinforces the metaphorical link between the flow of the river and the dynamic culture of&nbsp;Footscray.

Residents are connected to the surrounds both inside and outside of their apartments. Each apartment features floor to ceiling windows, spacious terrace balconies and the latest in smart home technologies.

Owner-occupiers are acting quickly to secure an apartment in Live City at Ropeworks, the latest Footscray development from R&amp;F Property Australia.

Live City is the first stage of the masterplanned development revitalising the historic Kinnears Ropeworks site.

The development brings together a fully integrated, mixed-use community that&rsquo;s thriving with character and history.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3565 project_image_fid=77396]

Set amid heritage buildings and laneways, cafes, convenience shopping and public open spaces, the precinct will feature a wide range of apartments in one, two and three-bedroom configurations.

The low maintenance benefits of apartment living have been a big drawcard for owner-occupiers, a testament to the project&rsquo;s liveable design.

Honouring the past, hints of the old Kinnears will be present throughout the development with a number of early 1900s manufacturing and storage buildings repurposed for the community.

<blockquote>
&ldquo;Design within the public spaces will incorporate its industrial history and antique parts of the factory will be reimagined within the art scene&rdquo;, the developers said.
</blockquote>

Live City will be situated amongst the diverse dining experiences and cultural heritage of Footscray.

Residents in the development enjoy being so close to health and leisure amenities, as well as outdoor spaces, well-serviced transport and numerous stores.

Designed by Hayball Architects, Live City features a neutral palette to reflect the earthy, tactile rope factory heritage.

The apartments feature open-plan living and dining space for entertaining and socialising, with clever storage solutions and premium finishes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3565 project_image_fid=68172]

A communal lounge area on an upper podium of the building boasts sweeping views across the Melbourne CBD and the suburbs below. &nbsp;

With the transformation of Footscray underway, residents are better connected.

Live City is located less than two-kilometres from Footscray Station, serviced by the Metro Tunnel, the 27-kilometre Melbourne Airport Rail link and soon the West Gate Tunnel Project forecast to open in 2023.
