<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> has lodged plans for a $750 million, three-tower mixed-use precinct that would complete the long-running redevelopment of Carlton's former Carlton United Breweries site.

The proposal at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/185-195-queensberry-street-carlton-vic-3053">46-78 Bouverie Street and 185-195 Queensberry Street</a> spans a 6,468 sqm site, the last remaining undeveloped parcels within the former brewery's 2007 masterplan.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the development will comprise two purpose-built student accommodation towers and a third build-to-sell apartment tower above a shared commercial podium and basement.

Across the three towers, SP Setia is proposing 606 build-to-sell apartments and 1,499 student accommodation units containing 2,009 beds.

The apartments will sit in the tallest tower, which will rise nearly 200m and 55 storeys. It will become&nbsp;one of the more substantial new build-to-sell apartment projects at the northern edge of Melbourne's CBD.

The apartment mix is weighted toward smaller inner-city product, with 188 studios, 206 one-bedroom apartments, 192 two-bedroom apartments and 20 three-bedroom apartments

<img alt="First look: SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8271bc87-1b0a-41b7-ac73-a425ee375261" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/3_2.png?VersionId=G4lw23o90B1boX4k4dj7rdz2ZEajS9wy" />

Part of the precinct will be a large-scale&nbsp;3,684 sqm supermarket and a further 2,198 sqm of speciality retail, creating close to 5,900 sqm of new commercial space within the precinct.

But one of the biggest components of the proposal is what sits between the buildings.

Around 4,650 sqm, or roughly 72 per cent of the site, will be publicly accessible open space, incorporating plazas, pedestrian connections, landscaped laneways and retail spill-out areas.

The ground plane is intended to finally complete pedestrian connections envisaged when the CUB masterplan was first approved nearly two decades ago, stitching together Victoria Street, Queensberry Street, Bouverie Street and Swanston Street through the former brewery precinct.

Urbis said the development would "complete the CUB precinct", with the public realm providing important north-south and east-west connections through what is currently the final undeveloped portion of the masterplanned site.

SP Setia is also exploring a new linear park within the Bouverie Street road reserve, with the concept to be developed further with the City of Melbourne through the planning process.

The proposal is being pursued through the Victorian Government's Development Facilitation Program under Clause 53.23 for significant residential development with affordable housing.

The planning report acknowledges the proposed heights exceed those contemplated under the original Comprehensive Development Plan and masterplan, but argues the built-form context has changed considerably over the past two decades.

Urbis said the three towers would instead create a stepped transition between Carlton and the Hoddle Grid, rising progressively from the 94.1-metre Tower One along the Queensberry Street edge to the 199.44-metre Tower Three closer to the established CBD-scale buildings to the south.

<img alt="SP Setia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e885a07a-592c-40fc-bf82-e6dbaf32da54" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.52.24%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7s_ErUkSKAdY1mAWp3GRZgMNCGtwhk5m" />

SP Setia plans to deliver the development across three stages.

Stage One would deliver the basement, podium and retail areas for the entire precinct alongside the first student tower. Tower Two would follow in Stage Two, before the 606-apartment Tower Three is delivered as the final stage.

If approved and delivered, the project would close out a redevelopment process that has been underway since the former brewery masterplan was approved in 2007, adding more than 2,600 student beds and apartments to a precinct already home to Swanston Central, the Barak Building, RMIT Design Hub and several large student accommodation developments.

SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct

Melbourne developer Lowe Living is seeking to add to its growing bayside apartment pipeline, filing plans for a boutique eight-residence development in tightly held Middle Park.

Lowe Living, which has built much of its development portfolio across Melbourne's affluent bayside and south-east suburbs, is behind the plans for the 730 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/123-125-erskine-street-middle-park-vic-3206">123-125 Erskine Street</a>, just off Armstrong Street and within the Armstrong Street Neighbourhood Activity Centre.

The developer is seeking approval for a five-storey residential building above two basement levels, with just eight large-format apartments and 18 car spaces.

“This is a deliberately very different proposition for us,"&nbsp;Tim Lowe, Co-Founder of Lowe Living, said.

"Eight residences is exceptionally boutique, but that's precisely what this site calls for.

“There is a strong community in Middle Park and the surrounding suburbs who have spent decades building a life here. They no longer want the maintenance of a large period home, but they aren't prepared to compromise on space, quality or location. We think there is a real opportunity to capture that hyper local market. A site like this rarely comes to market.”

<img alt="Lowe " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="875fe572-0f14-4d90-9e11-55b28dd07731" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.42.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=GDNQRv9BfpR9r1zkZ5UDyUM4ZvpIksut" />

The low-density proposal has been designed by Cera Stribley and is being progressed through the Victorian Government's Great Design Fast Track pathway, having already secured eligibility from the Minister for Planning.

The Office of the Victorian Government Architect supported its eligibility after finding the proposal demonstrated consistency with the program's seven design principles, while the project's financial feasibility has also been independently confirmed by Invest Victoria.

The project is targeting the downsizer market, with the planning documents describing the homes as larger-format residences and noting the two penthouses could otherwise have been configured as four separate apartments.

<img alt="Lowe 2" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="60ab0987-2da6-4175-adac-315dcf6053c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.15%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=bOCPH0B2MFwlmaRW.TTCF9TzyifgVoQI" />

The site has dual frontage to Erskine Street and Canterbury Place and currently comprises a collection of commercial buildings used as offices, including a former heritage bakehouse, a former stable, a later gabled addition and a central courtyard.

It sits within the Commercial 1 Zone and the Armstrong Street Commercial Precinct heritage overlay, with the existing property classified as a contributory heritage place.

Heritage has subsequently played a significant role in Cera Stribley's design.

The front section of the former bakehouse facing Erskine Street will be retained, including its return walls, street-facing hipped roof and chimneys, while the Erskine Street façade and part of the western return wall of the former stable will also be incorporated into the new development.

Levels four and five will be set back five metres from the retained stable façade, while bricks removed through demolition are proposed to be salvaged and reused within the new building where possible.

<img alt="Lowe 3" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e97927a9-a2de-4a0f-83b6-65451238abfa" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.06%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VR44AChLrX9q1XPB9GvVQV.ALXXbe4gC" />

Rather than presenting as a single five-storey building to Erskine Street, Cera Stribley has broken the development into a series of distinct forms.

A three-storey infill element will sit between the retained bakehouse and stable façades, with the upper levels recessed behind the heritage fabric. Canterbury Place will similarly feature two three-storey podium forms, separated by a central pedestrian accessway, before the upper two levels step back from the street.

A pedestrian through-link will run through the centre of the project between Erskine Street and Canterbury Place, creating entrances from both sides of the site and introducing landscaping and communal areas through the ground plane.

Landscape architect Acre has designed planting across the ground level, private terraces and upper levels, including a feature canopy tree at level three and integrated planting and arbours across the level four terraces. Five existing Erskine Street trees are proposed to be retained.

Sustainability is also a significant component of the Great Design Fast Track application. The apartments are targeting an average eight-star NatHERS rating, with no residence below 6.5 stars, while the project has achieved a 75 per cent BESS score. Seven of the eight apartments are designed for cross-ventilation, with the remaining residence using mechanically assisted natural ventilation.

The plans also incorporate an 8kWp rooftop solar system, a 5,000-litre rainwater tank and infrastructure allowing future electric vehicle charging for every residence.

Lowe has a strong portfolio across Melbourne's blue-chip suburbs. They recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/jardin-house-by-lowe-living-camberwell-335-camberwell-road-camberwell-vic-3124">Jardin House by Lowe Living</a> in Camberwell, their first development in the Stonnington LGA.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dvb-projects">DVB Projects</a> is preparing to launch its second Gold Coast apartment development, with demolition now underway on the Broadbeach site as the Sydney developer moves closer to bringing the ultra-luxury project to market.

The 34-level tower at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/137-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">137 Old Burleigh Road</a> will comprise just 49 residences, ranging from half-floor apartments through to full-floor homes and a penthouse. The launch follows the strong sales performance of DVB's nearby Sea Glass development. More than half of the apartments at Sea Glass, on the other side of Broadbeach, have been snapped up, well ahead of its late 2027 completion

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2944b4be-c84e-4b54-8dc1-c712e76704c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/E02_Exterior_Street%20Level%20Entrance.jpg?VersionId=YoNig7pRdrE3HCue7sUj78LzJteeQf3H" />

The start of demolition at 137 Old Burleigh Road signals DVB Projects’ underlying confidence in the Gold Coast’s luxury beachside apartment sector.

“We see the Gold Coast as one of the most compelling lifestyle markets in Australia, particularly at the premium end where demand continues to deepen,” said Dean Brown, Managing Director of DVB.&nbsp;

“This project has been carefully designed to respond to that demand - delivering large-format residences with a level of quality, privacy and amenity that is still relatively rare in the apartment market on the beachside."

Brown says the site itself is "exceptional."

"Old Burleigh Road is one of the most tightly held beachfront strips, and opportunities to deliver a project of this scale and calibre in this location are extremely limited.”

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="398f377a-c037-455e-9250-0c5e0d84c35b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/I12_FF%20Balcony.jpg?VersionId=NwOiRWGMubR1c8wthuEfggklcja7al9." />

The project will comprise 40 half-floor residences of approximately 260 sqm, alongside eight full-floor residences spanning around 524 sqm.

A single penthouse will crown the building, featuring a private pool, barbecue area, indoor gym and dedicated entertaining spaces.

Residents will have access to a resort-style suite of amenities, including a 20-metre pool with daybeds, a gymnasium, hot and cold plunge pools, a sauna, and private residents’ lounge and dining facilities.

Sales agent Todd Matheson, of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/pezet-matheson">Pezet Matheson</a>, which is marketing both 137 Old Burleigh Road and Sea Glass, said 137 Old Burleigh Road would address a clear gap in the market for genuine luxury products.

“There are very few opportunities on the Gold Coast where buyers can secure a residence of this size and quality in a new building,” Matheson said.

“What we’re seeing is a growing cohort of downsizers and interstate buyers who still want space - they’re not willing to compromise on living area, entertaining or finishes.

“This project has been designed with that buyer in mind. It offers the scale of a home, combined with the convenience and security of apartment living, in one of the coast’s most desirable positions.”

Located on a 1,156 sqm site one block from the beachfront, the development will replace an ageing walk-up building and is expected to contribute to the ongoing transformation of the Old Burleigh Road strip into one of the Gold Coast’s most prestigious residential corridors.

With the development moving into the delivery phase, 137 Old Burleigh Road is slated to hit the market later this year.

DVB Projects to launch second Broadbeach apartment tower as demolition commences

<a data-end="327" data-is-only-node="" data-start="250" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/norus-projects" rel="noopener" target="_new">Norus Developments</a> has lodged plans for a new apartment development in Clayton that would add further momentum to the suburb's emerging Green Street corridor.

Plans have been lodged for the consolidated site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1359-1365-centre-road-clayton-vic-3168">1359-1365 Centre Road</a>, where Norus is seeking approval for 218 apartments across a 12-storey apartment building designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/life-architecture-and-urban-design">Life Architecture</a>.

The proposal sits within the Clayton Major Activity Centre at the threshold of the planned Green Street corridor, a landscaped pedestrian connection intended to improve links through the precinct towards Clayton Railway Station.

The development would replace the site's existing collection of low-scale residential and commercial buildings with a single consolidated building, introducing significantly greater housing density to this part of Centre Road.

A retail tenancy is proposed at ground level to activate the Centre Road frontage, accompanied by transparent street interfaces and landscaping intended to create a more pedestrian-focused edge to the development.

<img alt="First look: Norus Developments plans landscape-led apartment project for Clayton’s emerging Green Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0a5a763a-d9e9-4253-af2f-88008de27ebf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Clayton%20a.png?VersionId=S2WJJbat1XVkZwB9SnYtygirXgWHiklX" />

The building has been designed with stepped massing and upper-level setbacks to manage its transition towards surrounding residential properties. The planning report describes the approach as one that integrates the building into the landscape rather than treating landscaping as a secondary element.

"A strong landscape and public realm strategy underpins the proposal," Urbis states in the planning report.

"Public benefits include an affordable housing contribution, a new pocket park, generous landscaped setbacks, deep soil planting and integrated Water Sensitive Urban Design."

The report adds that these elements are intended to create "a permeable, pedestrian-focused ground plane that enhances walkability, supports urban cooling and reinforces the emerging Green Street character."

Biophilic and passive design principles extend through the residential levels, with planting, daylight, natural ventilation and views towards landscaped areas forming part of the amenity strategy.

Parking would be concentrated away from the public realm, with 145 car spaces proposed from the rear laneway rather than dominating the Centre Road frontage.

The proposal follows an extensive pre-application process with the City of Monash. Three formal meetings were held between the project team and Council from December 2025 to March 2026, with the scheme evolving through several concept iterations before the current design was lodged.

The project arrives as Clayton prepares for substantial change around its established activity centre and the wider Suburban Rail Loop precinct. Its position on Centre Road places the development within an existing concentration of shops, services and public transport, while the Green Street connection is intended to strengthen pedestrian access towards Clayton Railway Station.

Australia&#39;s build to rent pipeline has grown by nearly 70 per cent over 2020, new research by CBRE has found.

Their Build-to-Rent development pipeline report showed a 68 per cent expansion, topping&nbsp;40 projects. The total number of units was approaching 15,000 &ndash; a new high for the asset class.

There was a&nbsp;28 per cent increase in new projects in the second half of last year relative to the first six months of 2020, the&nbsp;half-yearly profile of supply and development projects highlighted.

&quot;As the pipeline continues to expand, the aggregate size of the market is currently estimated to exceed $10 billion with an additional $3-5 billion in the pipeline currently under consideration or at various stages of due diligence&quot;, the reported noted.

The second half of the year saw the completion of&nbsp;Mirvac&rsquo;s&nbsp;Pavilions at Olympic Park&nbsp;in Sydney and Lateral Estate&rsquo;s first stage in Green Square.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7363]

Queensland also increased its share of the pipeline with new large scale schemes announced by Frasers and Mirvac following Gold Coast&rsquo;s lead which already has a number of BTR projects.

Melbourne remains the top investment destination geographically, due&nbsp;to its more accessible and affordable market for site acquisitions.&nbsp;Investors continue to pursue Sydney opportunities as Australia&rsquo;s premier gateway city.

&quot;We expect the momentum to be maintained with more projects announced as developers work through a pipeline of several thousand units currently under due diligence and taking advantage of recent tax reforms enacted in NSW and Victoria.

&quot;The effects of COVID-19, while having had a significant impact across the economy, appear not to have derailed many groups&rsquo; plans.

&quot;On the contrary, it may have stimulated further interest for BTR both from developers as well as investors, some of which are recording relative outperformance of BTR assets in their global portfolios.&quot;

Knowing the developer and their projects is an important step in preparing to purchase an off-the-plan property.

But, navigating through pages of reviews on past projects – on top of the already exhausting task of searching for a home – might seem daunting to some first home buyers.

While every first home buyer has different needs for their home, they all want one thing: to have complete trust in the developer.

Buying from a developer with a track record and long-term commitment to delivering quality projects is the best way to do this.

To help, Urban takes a look at ten developers operating in Victoria that you should know about. 
 

1. <a href="/developers/caydon-property" target="_blank">Caydon Property</a>

Establishing a strong presence in Melbourne over the last 17 years, Caydon Property’s portfolio boasts many major landmark developments in the Victorian capital.

Privately owned, the group has focused on enriching communities with their contemporary apartments, commercial spaces, retail outlets and luxury hotels.

As one to watch, Caydon has ensured a continual pipeline of projects with developments, all of which sit within 10-kilometres from the CBD.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24441]

Caydon currently has over $1.5 billion worth of developments established across Melbourne and the US, with past projects including Focus on Mason, Ivanhoe and Due North.

Their latest project in Alphington, HOME by Caydon, boasts 324 residences in one, two and three-bedroom configurations, designed by Caydon’s in-house design team. 
 

2. <a href="/developers/dealcorp" target="_blank">DealCorp</a>

Since its beginnings in Melbourne in 1984, DealCorp has gone on to complete over 50 projects across the retail, residential and commercial sectors.

DealCorp offers high-quality, considered projects, creating dynamic, innovative and timeless properties, with current projects including Eclipse Townhomes and Polaris 3083.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=25889]

As one to watch in 2021, Urban has identified the group’s potential with many projects in planning over the new year. Awarded the development rights to Ormand Station in 2015, interested buyers are expecting the plans unveiling the residences above the station to be revealed soon.

Other projects by DealCorp includes their McKinnon project MCKN, comprising five levels of spacious, high-quality apartments. Two-bedroom apartments in the project are listed from $682,500.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4939] 
 

3. <a href="/developers/stockland" target="_blank">Stockland</a>

As one of Australia’s largest diversified real estate groups with $15.2 billion in real estate assets, Stockland has earned their place as an Urban must-watch.

Stockland aims to make thriving communities for growing families, first-home buyers, empty-nesters and everyone in between. 105 families move into a Stockland home every week.

Across Australia, the development group has 51 residential communities and with more in the pipeline, Urban is expecting big sales as first-home buyers choose suburbia’s green spaces over city-living.

The group’s dedication to sustainability has also made them one to watch. Although overtaken on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index as the most sustainable real estate group after five consecutive years, Stockland continues to pave the way for setting new benchmarks in sustainable developments and environmental management.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29947]

Among their current projects includes Altona North’s Haven Townhomes and the Terraces at Minta in Berwick.

Perfectly located just 11km from Melbourne’s CBD, Stockland's Haven offers a collection of boutique townhomes, designed in collaboration with award-winning SJB Architect. 
 

4.<a href="/developers/id-land"> ID_Land</a>

A newer Melbourne-based developer, ID_Land was founded in 2009 with a diverse development pipeline in excess of $2 billion.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9023]

“With experience in all forms of residential development, we offer a proven track record of managing the successful delivery of communities of varied scale and complexity”, director Matthew Belford said.

With an array of successful residential developments, ID_Land has been earmarked as one to watch this year with the upcoming projects including Canvas, Yarraville Place and The Walter.

Situated in a prime inner-north location, The Walter offers residents unparalleled access to amenities, with features including expansive glazing, high ceilings and modern interiors.

ID_Land also have Port Lane, a new townhouse development in Port Melbourne. The coastal community will see prices starting from $995,000 for the three bedroom townhouses designed by Rothelowman.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89720]

5. <a href="/developers/frasers-property" target="_blank">Frasers Property</a>

With over 95 years’ heritage in Australia, Singapore-based Frasers Property operates across residential, retail, commercial and industrial property markets.

Off the success of their sold-out past projects within Victoria, including Flourish Parkside and Reside Carlton, Urban expects another big year for the developer.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14940]

Designed by DKO Architecture, Frasers’ award-winning development, Burwood Brickworks, offers sustainable townhomes and apartments with a commitment to the environment.

Last November, Frasers Property was won two awards in the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) rankings, named the ‘global development sector leader – residential’ and the ‘global non-listed sector leader – diversified office/industrial’.

CEO Anthony Boyd said the rankings were a reflection of the company’s consideration of environmental, social and financial sustainability in all its operations. 
 

6. <a href="/developers/bhc-property" target="_blank">BHC Property</a>

10 developers to watch in VIC in 2021

<html><body>
Knowing the developer and their projects is an important step in preparing to purchase an off-the-plan property.

But, navigating through pages of reviews on past projects – on top of the already exhausting task of searching for a home – might seem daunting to some first home buyers.

Urban takes a look at ten developers operating in the NSW that you should know about. 
 

1. <a href="/developers/meriton" target="_blank">Meriton</a>

One of Australia’s most successful residential property developers, Meriton is expected to make a significant impact on the property landscape in 2021. Since its formation in 1963, Meriton has grown to become the nation’s largest apartment developer.

Founded by billionaire property entrepreneur Harry Triguboff, the developer is known for its sophisticated designs and high-quality apartments.

<a href="/new-apartments/trilogy-112-talavera-road-macquarie-park"><img alt="" height="800" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/destination-114-talavera-road-macquarie-park-a01e0c0989e3e71fbf549469c332ad75_0.jpg" width="1920"></a>

<div class="column">
Frasers Property Management has announced the addition of a collection of urban hotel rooms to its national portfolio of residential properties for rent.
The serviced-apartments are available under flexible rental terms from 3–12 months.
Frasers Property Management, the residential property management arm of Frasers Property Australia, has partnered with Frasers Hospitality Australia to make a range of CBD hotel rooms at Fraser Suites Sydney, Fraser Place Melbourne, Fraser Suites Perth and Capri by Fraser Brisbane available to the residential rental market.
It’s an innovative collaboration to respond to the collapse in demand for conventional hotel offerings due to COVID-19.
Frasers Hospitality has pivoted its serviced-apartment offering to now provide affordable, un- serviced, short-term lease options.
The prices range from $600 per week in Sydney, $310 per week in Brisbane, $325 per week in Melbourne and $500 per week in Perth.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/5/4/Fraser%20Suites%20Sydney_ext.jpg" alt="">
“These short-term, super-flexible, fully-furnished apartments are ideal for anyone experiencing housing uncertainty, or who needs quality self-contained accommodation but prefers not to commit to a long-term lease,” says Richard Kemp, National Property Manager for Frasers Property Management.
While apartment sizes vary depending on the specific property, the offer encompasses studio, one and two- bedroom apartments, fully-furnished and self-contained, and most with full-sized kitchens, internal laundries, operable windows for fresh air and some with balconies to stretch out in. 
All four properties are centrally located in CBD or CBD-walkable locations, and parking is generally available at an additional cost.
Frasers Hospitality Australia is uniquely positioned to undertake this shift in approach due to the close collaboration between with the international real estate Group’s residential, property management and hospitality teams in Australia.

Frasers Property to form $5.4 billion integrated industrial and logistics platform

Cracking in the carpark basement at Clemton Park Village has placed Frasers Property amid Sydney's widening building defects calamity.
The Campsie complex joins the Elias Brothers-built Mascot Towers and Ecove's Opal Towers as apartment complexes showcasing building cracking defects.
No evacuations have been required at Clemton Park Village, which was completed just three years ago.
Unlike the earlier two, Clemson Park Village is a low-rise project which was commended in the 2017 Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) excellence awards.
It won the Urban Taskforce Australia’s Mixed Uses Development Award at the Development Excellence Awards 2017, presented by the Planning Minister Anthony Roberts.
The builder, Parkview is currently working with Frasers and the occupants, residential and commercial on a "remediation plan."
The remediation works would be at "no cost" to the owners, although residents dread that they will incur a lost value cost following the complex's reputational damage.
Parkview promotes itself as a "multi-award-winning property company committed to integrity, excellence and innovation."
But <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/https://twitter.com/7NewsSydney/status/1147057694424961024" target="_blank">Friday evening Channel 7 news</a> showed footage with metres of cracks in the carpark basement ceiling.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/7/8/Clemton%20Park%20Village%202.jpg" alt="">
The roof has been jacked up after a "potential issue with a concrete slab" was identified. It does not appear to be a structural issue.
"As a precaution, temporary props were installed and engineers employed to confirm the property is safe," Frasers Property advised at 3.59pm yesterday.
Entrances and exits to the building all have "danger" signs, Channel 7 noted.
However Frasers crisis management publicists stressed "there was no risk to residents or visitors."
It said "the property is safe."  
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/7/8/Clemton%20Park%20Village%201.jpg" alt="">
Frasers worked in partnership with leading architects Kann Finch and Group GSA on the design.
The strata managers are Strata Plus, which also provides property developers with strata consulting services.
Clemton Park Village was begun as a three staged, Australand project located 13 kilometres from the Sydney CBD. Frasers took over Australand in 2014 with the final apartments delivered in 2017. 
On its completion Clemton Park Village housed 1,500 people in 747 apartments across 11 residential buildings.
The village comes with a Coles supermarket. 
It was the former factory site of electrical appliance maker Sunbeam. 
Prior to its residential zoning, Sunbeam owned the land from 1951 to 2002.
Before this, the land was Mackinders Market Garden farming potatoes, beetroot, carrots, pumpkin and squashes.
Steve Mann, chief executive of the NSW branch of the Urban Development Institute of Australia, told Nine Enertainment that incidents involving building standards were "quite rare".
He said NSW has some of the most rigorous building standards in the world, requiring that builders fix defects at their cost.
"There is an average of around 40,000 dwellings completed each year, and last year there were 163 complaints made to the Building Practitioners Board," Mr Mann noted.
An apartment building just 150 metres from the cracking Mascot Towers had been pinpointed as the 'next to go.'
Completed in 2009, it has been alleged to have had waterproofing issues, sinking foundations and sediment cracks since 2014 according to building defects campaigner, Edwin Almeida.

Burwood Brickworks, on track to open in late 2019, has announced that it will host a six-screen cinema complex.
Reading International has agreed to terms to anchor the new entertainment hub at the mixed-use community, which is 19 kilometres east of Melbourne CBD.
The announcement comes after Whitehorse City Council endorsed an amendment to the development plan, paving the way for the new community to include a cinema.
Designed by Melbourne-based NH Architecture, the 12,900 square metre Burwood Brickworks shopping centre will be the heart of the mixed-use community.
The complex will be positioned on the ground level of Burwood Brickworks shopping centre, on the corner of Middleborough and Boulevard Roads, adjacent to the 4,200 square metre Woolworths supermarket.
Frasers Property is aiming for the shopping centre at Burwood Brickworks to be the first retail development in the world to achieve Living Building Challenge certification, meaning it will generate more energy than it consumes on an annual basis.
North Melbourne-based Russell &amp; George has been appointed to ensure the base building interior design and fitout comply with the sustainability standards. 
A mix of on-site rooftop solar PV and off-site renewable energy, utilising battery storage, will generate 105% of the energy required for the building.
For their electricity needs, tenants may choose to participate in the embedded energy network Frasers Property is integrating, which will offer use of the renewable electricity generated on-site.
Also proposed as part of the centre’s tenant mix is a child care centre and medical centre, as well as health and fitness opportunities.
Peri Macdonald, from Frasers Property Australia says Reading Cinemas will attract visitors.
“We’re creating a destination at Burwood Brickworks, a place drawing people from the immediate catchment and beyond who want to enjoy a memorable entertainment, shopping and dining experience in the most comfortable environment imaginable,” Macdonald says.
“A cinema offering was always a key feature of the super-neighbourhood centre we envisaged at Burwood Brickworks.”
The new complex will be the company’s first cinema in Australia to feature reclining seats in all auditoriums.
Mark Douglas, Reading Cinemas Australia’s managing director, said he looks forward to opening in late 2019.

Frasers Property Australia has spent $202.5 buying The Grove master planned community at Tarneit, in Melbourne’s west, from Stockland.
The deal was under deferred payment terms.  
The Grove is an existing community with around 850 lots already sold and developed.

Anthony Boyd, executive general manager of residential at Frasers Property Australia says the acquisition of The Grove is a key addition to the company’s residential portfolio. 
“The Grove is strategically located within Melbourne’s fast-growing western corridor and in close proximity to existing and proposed services and amenities, including the new Tarneit railway station, schools and shops,” Mr Boyd says. 
“Stockland has set a high standard for both quality and community at The Grove and we’re delighted to be able to bring this growing community to fruition. Residents can be confident that we respect and share their vision for The Grove and we’ll work with Stockland to ensure a smooth transition. 
“There’s already a strong sense of community established at The Grove and we’ll look to build on this, working with existing and new residents to create a place everyone can be proud of.”

Frasers Property will acquire the balance of the project, which covers 167 hectares and will yield 1,780 residential lots.
Of these, around 460 lots have exchanged, with revenue of approximately $130 million to be received by Frasers Property within 18 months.
The Grove will comprise over 2,600 homes once completed, as well as a town centre retail precinct, proposed primary and secondary schools, a neighbourhood activity centre, sporting oval and community facilities, expected to include medical and child care, as well as a series of cycle paths, parklands, creeks and waterways.
