The new <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/yarraville-green-42-stephen-street-yarraville-vic-3013">Yarraville Green</a> development in Melbourne's inner west is showing that landscaping can be just as influential as architecture, with buyers responding strongly to the garden-first approach adopted from the outset by developer Excelon Projects and the project's design team.

Excelon appointed Six Degrees Architects and landscape architects SBLA to work collaboratively on the development, with a brief to create "a sustainable, design-led building with a focus on community."

That approach has resonated with buyers. According to Next Chapter Director Tom Hirini, who is leading the sales campaign, the landscaped communal garden has become one of the project's defining features, alongside its boutique scale and European-inspired cluster housing concept.

Local downsizers, right-sizers and established families already living in Yarraville and surrounding suburbs have accounted for the majority of purchasers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144913 project_image_fid=297740]

Yarraville Green will comprise 53 homes, including apartments and townhomes, arranged around the shared central garden to maximise connections to the landscaped open space. Parking has been moved underground, allowing the ground plane to be dedicated to greenery, pedestrian movement and communal spaces.

The landscape extends well beyond passive planting. Productive garden beds, a pergola, communal gathering spaces, garden sheds and a pet wash have all been integrated into the masterplan, creating spaces designed to encourage everyday interaction between residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144913 project_image_fid=297741]

The interiors continue Excelon's focus on craftsmanship, incorporating bespoke elements by Melbourne artisans including leadlight detailing by Adadaz, hand-turned timber hardware by Auburn Woodturning and blown-glass lighting by Ruth Allen.

Sustainability has also been embedded throughout the project, with Yarraville Green targeting an average 7-star NatHERS energy rating through passive design principles, rooftop solar servicing common areas and rainwater harvesting for landscape irrigation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144913 project_image_fid=297735]

Construction continues to progress at Yarraville Green, with structural works well underway and framing works approaching completion under builder Balmain &amp; Co. The project remains on track for completion in mid-2027.

Apartments at Yarraville Green are currently priced from $625,000, while townhomes start from $1.4 million.

Garden-led design drives buyer demand at Yarraville Green

National diversified developer Fortis has officially launched Crest &amp; Walker, its latest Brisbane apartment development, with construction now underway on the 20-storey Newstead project.

Award-winning builder BINAH has commenced construction on the Bureau^Proberts-designed building, which will deliver a limited collection of 65 two and three-bedroom apartments on Kyabra Street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145922 project_image_fid=373556]

The project marks Fortis' fourth active residential development in Brisbane, following River House, which is nearing completion, alongside projects in New Farm and Hamilton as the national developer continues to expand its South East Queensland pipeline.

Fortis General Manager – Development Queensland Dan Boman said Crest &amp; Walker reflects the developer's long-term commitment to delivering design-led residential projects in Brisbane's established inner-city suburbs.

"We're proud to be strengthening our presence in Brisbane with Crest &amp; Walker, particularly in such a sought-after lifestyle destination as Newstead," Boman said.

"Every Fortis project is shaped by its context, and we approach each one with the respect and care it deserves.

"Our focus is always on creating places that feel connected to their neighbourhood and elevate the everyday experience for residents. Newstead continues to evolve as one of Brisbane's most sought-after urban communities, and Crest &amp; Walker reflects our ambition to contribute meaningfully to that story."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145922 project_image_fid=373559]

Positioned between Gasworks Plaza and James Street, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/crest-walker-newstead-12-kyabra-street-newstead-qld-4006">Crest &amp; Walker</a> has been designed as a boutique residential address offering privacy and generous living spaces within one of Brisbane's most established lifestyle precincts.

The building features a contemporary brick podium softened by integrated landscaping, while the upper levels are characterised by restrained architecture and enduring materiality. Interiors have been designed to maximise natural light, acoustic performance and long-term liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145922 project_image_fid=373583]

Residences comprise spacious two and three-bedroom floorplans, with two-bedroom apartments priced from $1.55 million and three-bedroom, half-floor residences from $3.95 million.

Residents will have access to a wellness-focused rooftop featuring a swimming pool, sauna, steam room, landscaped dining spaces and outdoor lounge areas overlooking Newstead and the Brisbane CBD.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145922 project_image_fid=373571]

Sales are being managed by Slaite Projects, with Fortis expecting strong demand from owner-occupiers seeking a high-quality, design-focused apartment in one of Brisbane's most tightly held inner-city suburbs.

Completion of Crest &amp; Walker is slated for late 2028.

Fortis expands Brisbane pipeline with launch of Crest & Walker in Newstead

The enormity of delivering a true skyscraper in Australia's new development market is often overlooked.

It has taken the best part of a decade since plans for Chevron One were first unveiled, but the 41-storey tower is now complete, with residents collecting their keys and moving into what has become one of the Gold Coast's most recognisable new landmarks.

Rising 127 metres above Chevron Island, Chevron One stands almost twice as high as any other building on the island. Its scale places it alongside the trio of towers at Jewel, arguably the last truly significant addition to the central Gold Coast skyline when they were completed around six years ago.

While there are several developments underway around a similar height to Chevron One, they are more concentrated within clusters of the highest towers in the city. The fact Chevron One sits within a developing precinct, looking back at the other high-rise developments in Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach, makes it a different proposition altogether. It will certainly become a reference point on the Gold Coast skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=68833]

Developer Bensons Property Group is behind the 41-storey tower, which has 229 apartments, along with an exhaustive list of resident amenity spread across what is the largest development site ever assembled on Chevron Island.

The tower has been the talk of the town for years, says Ray White Projects Gold Coast agent Caitlin Rosenboom, who is selling the remaining apartments.

"People have been watching Chevron One go up for years," Rosenboom says, adding that many prospective buyers have been surprised by the scale of the views once they step inside.

"It's only when they walk through a completed apartment that they truly understand the position of the building," Rosenboom says.

"The views are jaw-dropping. Whether you're looking east over the ocean, across Surfers Paradise, along the river systems or out to the hinterland, every level offers something different but equally impressive."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=360215]

One of Chevron One's defining advantages is its location on the eastern side of Chevron Island on Stanhill Drive, a position which protects the views forever.

"There's only one row of houses between Chevron One and the water, and the height restrictions along the river means views from Chevron One can never be built out,"&nbsp;Rosenboom says.

While new apartment developments continue to emerge across the Gold Coast, Rosenboom says opportunities to secure a completed apartment with this level of outlook are becoming increasingly rare.

"The size of the site is something that would be incredibly difficult to replicate today," she says.

"That's allowed Chevron One to deliver the sort of amenity, open space and resident facilities that very few projects can offer. There are not many completed apartment buildings on the Gold Coast right now that can compete with the combination of scale, quality and amenity."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=68839]

There's around 2,000 sqm of amenity solely for the use of residents of Chevron One. Club One features a uniquely shaped swimming pool that mirrors the footprint of the building itself, set within a extensively landscaped gardens. There's also an indoor pool and spa, a fully equipped gym with a Pilates room, a yoga garden, a bookable private dining area and lounge that can host up to 30 people, and a 24-hour concierge service.

As for the buyers, Rosenboom is fielding enquiry from everywhere: Sydneysiders and Melburnians looking at the new and off-the-plan market following the changes in the Federal Budget, as well as those looking to relocate, through to South East Queenslanders seeking either a permanent home or a weekender bolthole.

"The Gold Coast lifestyle continues to resonate with people relocating from the southern states, and when they see the views and the quality of what's been delivered at Chevron One, it becomes very easy for them to understand the appeal," Rosenboom says.

A diverse mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments remain available, with each offering "something a little different", be it the orientation and views, configuration, or level, to suit a wide variety of buyers.

The remaining apartments are ready to inspect in person, by appointment.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=6515]

A decade in the making: Residents to move into Chevron One as construction wraps up

A general rule of thumb in new apartment developments is that the penthouses get the rooftop.

It's a formula that's become commonplace across Australia's apartment market. Residents might have access to a pool, gym or barbecue facilities on a dedicated lower level, but the most desirable outdoor spaces are typically reserved for the highest-priced homes at the top of the building.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sherpa-property-group">Sherpa Property Group</a> has taken the opposite approach.

Rather than dedicating the rooftop to a handful of buyers, the Gold Coast developer has made it the centrepiece of its Flourish collection, creating expansive shared spaces from the best vantage point in the building.

The philosophy has reached its most ambitious expression at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/flourish-soleira-palm-beach-1150-1160-gold-coast-highway-palm-beach-qld-4221">Flourish Soleira</a> in Palm Beach, where two rooftop precincts connected by a skybridge will deliver one of the most extensive lifestyle offerings seen in a residential apartment project on the Gold Coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=374053]

"We're seeing a clear move toward developments that offer more than just an apartment," Sherpa Group founder Christie Leet said.

"People want spaces that support how they actually live, whether that's working from home, staying active, or spending time with family and friends.

"That's where amenity becomes critical. It's not just about what's included, but how those spaces are designed to be used every day."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=374052]

The breadth of amenity has already attracted buyers across multiple demographics. Younger first home buyers have been drawn to Soleira's one-bedroom apartments, a product rarely delivered in Palm Beach, while families have responded to practical inclusions such as the shallow children's pool adjoining the main lap pool and the extensive communal recreation areas.

Instead of a single rooftop, Soleira delivers two distinct lifestyle zones.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=372547]

The southern rooftop has been dedicated to wellness, featuring a gym, yoga and Pilates studio, work-from-home facilities, a wellness centre, spa, and hot and cold plunge pools.

The northern rooftop focuses on recreation and entertaining, incorporating a heated resort-style pool, private dining rooms, pizza ovens, barbecues, a golf simulator, children's recreation areas, and what is expected to be the Gold Coast's first rooftop basketball court, which will also double as a squash court.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=374054]

Beyond the rooftops, Soleira will introduce 1,500 sqm of curated retail beneath the towers, creating one of Palm Beach's first genuinely mixed-use lifestyle precincts where cafés, restaurants and convenience retail become part of residents' everyday lives.

Sherpa has also retained management rights across the development, allowing it to oversee the long-term operation of the building through a 24-hour concierge model. The developer is also exploring additional revenue streams within the precinct aimed at helping offset ongoing body corporate costs for residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=370962]

While Soleira is the largest project Sherpa has delivered, the rooftop-first philosophy has been evolving for several years.

It began with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/amargo-6-12-sixth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">Flourish Amargo</a>, the first project released under the Flourish brand. Rather than competing at the ultra-luxury end of the market with oversized half-floor and full-floor residences, Sherpa focused on creating lifestyle-driven apartments supported by resort-style shared spaces.

Amargo introduced more than 800 sqm of rooftop amenity, combining wellness facilities, heated pools, entertaining areas, cabanas, pizza ovens and private dining spaces into what was designed as an extension of residents' homes rather than a facility used only occasionally.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146527 project_image_fid=366550]

That approach continued with Flourish Oasis, where the same amenity-led philosophy was refined into a more boutique development. Strong demand from Sherpa's growing VIP database saw much of the project sold before it reached the broader market, reinforcing buyer appetite for apartment communities centred around shared lifestyle experiences.

Flourish Amargo is slated for completion mid-way-through next year, with Oasis to be delivered by late 2027. Flourish Soleira is expected to complete in 2030.

Sherpa takes amenity to the sky as Flourish Soleira captures booming Palm Beach demand

As apartment living continues to evolve across Sydney's growth corridors, the quality and distribution of shared spaces is increasingly shaping how residents experience home. Rather than functioning as add-ons, amenities are being embedded into the daily rhythm of a building, supporting everything from quiet retreat to social interaction, often within a single vertical community.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/aeris-melrose-park-nursery-street-melrose-park-nsw-2114">Aeris</a> in Melrose Park, this approach is resolved through a layered amenity offering that unfolds from ground level through to its upper podium. Developed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sekisui-house-australia">Sekisui House Australia</a> in partnership with Hankyu Hanshin Properties, the project introduces 468 apartments across two towers and a mid-rise building, positioned at the highest point of the broader masterplan.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=426 project_image_fid=359199]

The amenity experience begins at street level, where two courtyards sit within a landscaped setting that connects residents to the wider network of parks and green spaces. These green spaces are not isolated pockets but part of a wider pedestrian network that links Aeris to the surrounding <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/melrose-park-nsw-2114">Melrose Park</a> precinct, including Central Park, future schools, and the Town Centre opening in July 2026. The result is a transition that moves from public to private without abrupt boundaries, allowing residents to pass through shaded, tree-lined environments before reaching the building itself.

Moving upward, the focus shifts to the level five podium, where the primary communal facilities are concentrated. This space brings together a 16-metre swimming pool, outdoor seating areas, and a communal BBQ zone arranged to take advantage of elevated outlooks. Seating is positioned beneath pergolas, creating pockets of shade that extend the usability of the space throughout the day. The pool edge aligns with views toward the wider district, reinforcing the sense of elevation that defines the project’s positioning.

In the adjacent building, this is complemented by quieter, more contemplative spaces, including an outdoor cinema set within the same level. Positioned to operate primarily in the evening, it introduces a different tempo to the shared environment, shifting from daytime activity to after-hours use without requiring separate zones.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=426 project_image_fid=360299]

The podium also accommodates an intimate private resident gym. Located on the lower levels, it gives residents convenient access to fitness facilities without leaving the building.

Above, the elevated podium sky deck extends the amenity offering, providing additional open-air spaces with elevated outlooks across the surrounding landscape. While more restrained in program, this upper level reinforces the project’s vertical progression, from ground-level greenery to elevated outlook, allowing residents to move between distinct spatial conditions within a single address.

This distribution of amenities reflects a deliberate response to how residents use space across the day. Sekisui House Australia Sales and Marketing Director Peter Kalaf points to the role these shared areas play in shaping buyer demand. Aeris has been conceived as more than a collection of apartments, with the podium pool, gym and outdoor cinema forming part of a broader lifestyle offering that extends the home beyond each individual residence.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=426 project_image_fid=360300]

What distinguishes Aeris is not the inclusion of these elements individually, but how they are arranged in relation to one another. Active, social, and passive spaces are layered vertically rather than separated, allowing residents to choose between them without leaving the building or moving far from their apartment. This proximity supports both routine use, such as a morning swim or evening workout, and more occasional gatherings, whether around the BBQ area or within the cinema setting.

The amenity design also sits within a broader framework of connectivity across Melrose Park. The Melrose Park Town Centre, anchored by Coles and Dan Murphys, features a mix of retail, dining, health and lifestyle offerings, bringing everyday convenience closer to residents. By the end of the year, more than five hectares of parks and open space, equivalent to around seven football fields of green space on residents' doorstep, will further enhance the precinct, allowing the internal facilities at Aeris to operate as an extension of the wider neighbourhood rather than a substitute for it.

Construction at Aeris continues to gather momentum, with ground floor slabs expected to be completed in late 2026 before the first sections of the buildings begin to rise above ground.

Construction is underway on the&nbsp;new Carlton apart​ment development,&nbsp;Encompass.

Designed by renowned architects Jackson Architecture and located on the corner of Elgin and Nicholson Streets, Encompass is a joint venture between Frasers Property Australia and Citta Property Group.

Encompass, which will be a&nbsp;minimum 5-star energy rated residential building, has already sold over 50 per cent of its 115 apartments.

Harris HMC has been appointed as the builder and construction of the residential tower is expected to reach completion in mid-2023.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=21762]

Sarah Bloom, General Manager Development Victoria, Frasers Property Australia, says the expansive city views, location just 2.5km from Melbourne&rsquo;s CBD as well as having local cafes, shops and restaurants at its doorstep, make Encompass a popular choice for purchasers wanting to experience cosmopolitan Carlton.

&ldquo;There is a real &lsquo;wow&rsquo; factor to Encompass, not only from its impressive aesthetic design, but also its many sustainability features, such as water management initiatives, natural light and ventilation to every corridor, consideration of orientation and shading maximising light and ventilation to all apartments,&rdquo;&nbsp;Bloom says.

&ldquo;With all these benefits on offer in one place, it&rsquo;s no wonder that more than 50% of Encompass&rsquo;s apartments have already been sold.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188245]

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re excited to get started and to mark this exciting milestone with our project partners and members of the community,&rdquo; she says.

Alister Woods, Director, Citta Property Group says Encompass combines stunning architecture with premium amenities for residents to create a compelling lifestyle offer for buyers.

&ldquo;Encompass will elevate the local community with its striking design and range of quality resident facilities,&quot; Woods says.

&quot;The strong sales achieved to date demonstrate the value proposition Encompass represents and today&rsquo;s sod-turning means we&rsquo;re on the way to delivering a premium quality, sustainable, lifestyle-focused development that takes full advantage of its convenient and cosmopolitan Carlton location.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188242]

The eight-level building, offering a mix of one, two and three- bedroom apartments, is set to cater to&nbsp;a wide range of purchasers, from first home buyers and young families to downsizers and investors.

Each apartment will include its own private balcony or courtyard, accessed by floor-to-ceiling sliding doors. There will be&nbsp;2.7 metre&nbsp;high ceilings to living areas, premium kitchen appliances,&nbsp;oak timber finish floors in living areas and 100% wool loop pile carpet in the bedrooms.

Another highlight is the residents-only rooftop lounge, complete with alfresco dining area and outdoor barbeque, fully-equipped kitchen and a formal lounge area with television and library.

Since 1924, Frasers Property Australia has created stronger, smarter, happier neighbourhoods. It has developed residential land, housing, and apartments and delivered over 140,000 homes.

It seeks to work sustainably to ensure the places we create leave a positive environmental legacy and enhance the way people live life together.&nbsp;

Frasers Property in Australia has certified over 5.6 million square metres of Green Star space across our communities, and their commitment to reduce carbon has been approved by the global Science-Based Targets initiative.&nbsp;

Urban recently caught up with&nbsp;Cameron Leggatt, Executive General Manager, Development at Frasers Property Australia, to discuss the o​ff the plan apartment market.

JC: How have you viewed the performance of the of​f the plan market in 2021, and what are the strongest positive and negative factors that will influence outcomes in 2022 and 2023?

CL: In new communities, while the market for land and townhomes has dominated growth, off th​e plan apartments have also performed with considerable strength in 2021. The pandemic has legitimised working from home and this has meant select regional and coastal locations have led the way.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29969 project_image_fid=159035]

In particular, apartment markets such as the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast have performed well, while for Frasers Property Australia, the Shell Cove community on the NSW South Coast that we are creating with Shellharbour City Council has enjoyed strong conditions.

Obviously the CBD and near-city markets in Sydney and Melbourne have experienced greater challenges, with the lack of migration and students being felt most sharply. Nevertheless, sales are still occurring and both owner-occupiers and investors are active.

In Sydney, we&rsquo;ve experienced strong sales at Midtown MacPark in Macquarie Park and at Ed.Square in south-west Sydney, while in Melbourne the final stage of our Carlton project and the final two stages of Burwood Brickworks have been met with a strong response from buyers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29969 project_image_fid=159036]

Looking ahead, much will hinge on the continuance of the low interest rate environment and the return of migration as a demand factor, including the return of international students. Affordability will remain a concern and with the coming election, the market awaits firm policy options in this area.

As long as rates remain low, as the Reserve Bank has suggested they most likely will through 2022 and 2023, demand will be supported. More recently there has been speculation that the Reserve Bank&rsquo;s hand may be forced earlier, but to date they have indicated they intend to maintain the course unless macro conditions shift significantly.

The increased gap in values between houses and apartments, exacerbated through the 2021 boom, makes apartment living more attractive to owner-occupiers, including first home buyers and families. This is being complemented by the return of investors to ensure demand for quality projects remains diverse, which is especially advantageous for apartments in areas of low supply.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5995]

Should values moderate this could impact investor appetites, with areas subject to increased supply potentially most impacted.

Most important is the need for communities offering apartments to also offer complementary lifestyle amenities, to create a point of difference and a unique value proposition. Connected communities which provide a high level of amenity with a masterplan emphasising positive urban design outcomes can be expected to continue to achieve strong sales in the years ahead.&rdquo;

JC: What trend (short term or long term) has prompted your greatest enthusiasm for the apartment market, and what is the issue of most concern to you and or your buyers?

CL: Apartment buyers are increasingly attracted to high amenity communities which offer choice, quality, lifestyle and sustainable outcomes. Sites and opportunities in which we can apply a community development and place-making focus to create belonging are those we&rsquo;re most attracted to.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5995 project_image_fid=78736]

Of course, the potential for ongoing disruption resulting from COVID-19 remains a concern for the industry, as it does for all industries.&nbsp;The impacts of border closures in reducing investor demand, shutdowns impacting schedules, and supply chain blockages that increase price and ultimately put pressure on the commercial viability of future stages and projects, are all potential concerns as we embark on the long-term recovery.&rdquo;

JC: Has urbanisation stalled amid the rush to the regions and what will it look like over the decade ahead?

CL:&nbsp;Closed borders aside, population growth is still a reality and as this growth continues over the coming decade, so will further urbanisation.&nbsp;

The evolution of flexible working is here to stay and provides people with greater housing choice further from capital cities but the innate desire for people to live in vibrant urban environments, with easy access to amenity in locations with strong lifestyle attributes and access to good infrastructure, still remains.&nbsp;

This will continue to drive urbanisation and regentrification. We may see urbanisation become more competitive, with certain areas and projects needing to elevate their desirability as a housing destination, which would be a positive outcome supporting better mixed-use outcomes.&rdquo;

JC: How important do you view the push for sustainability practices in the apartment market, and what initiative has seized your interest or focus?

CL:&nbsp;Through fostering resilient communities, carbon-reducing initiatives, responsibly sourcing services and materials, providing clean energy, using green finance and being accountable to ourselves and our customers using independent tools and ratings, we contribute to a better, cleaner future.

We have established a roadmap to target net zero by 2028 and this will require a coordinated series of measures and initiatives, with our apartment projects to play a pivotal role.

All our buildings are Green Star certified and we have a range of recent projects to draw learnings from. For instance, we recently completed the first certified Passive House by a volume developer at Life, Point Cook in Melbourne. At Minnippi Quarter in Brisbane, we devised a formula to calculate embodied carbon to offer customers an offset option in another industry-first initiative, called Build Neutral.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27139 project_image_fid=77326]

Real Utilities, Frasers Property Australia&rsquo;s licensed energy retailing business, provides Climate Active-certified carbon neutral energy to residential, commercial, and retail customers, while in Melbourne we&rsquo;ve created the world&rsquo;s most sustainable shopping centre, the Living Building Challenge&reg; Petal-certified Burwood Brickworks.

Customers expect better sustainability outcomes in an environmental and social sense, and this aligns with our holistic view of sustainability and our commitment to maintain our global leadership in this space.

Frasers seeks to work sustainably to ensure the places we create leave a positive environmental legacy and enhance the way people live life together.

"Apartment buyers increasingly attracted to high amenity communities": Five minutes with Frasers Property Australia's Cameron Leggatt

Queensland is in the midst of an exciting period of growth and Logan City is well-positioned in the centre of this change.

The City of Logan is situated in a thriving growth corridor between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, with abundant amenities, good schools and a burgeoning health precinct. &nbsp;

More and more home buyers are purchasing their first property in Logan thanks to its fresh and contemporary residential neighbourhoods, new estates and bushland acreage.

The adjacent Griffith University Logan campus, Queensland TAFE and the $145 million Logan Hospital expansion provides the opportunity for Meadowbrook to evolve into a major health and educational hub.

Given its central geographic location in south-east Queensland and available young workforce, Logan is ideally placed for continued growth in the region and provides great opportunity for families and investors.

Urban takes a look at four homes to secure in Logan City from just $230,000.
