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

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

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

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

Legacy Property’s The Works reimagines Corrimal’s century-old Coke Works

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

Lowe Living continues Bayside legacy as Marella rises in Hampton

A Moroccan-bathhouse residential tower has been unveiled for Budds Beach, with Australian developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/homecorp">Homecorp</a> announcing plans for a $260 million resort-style project in one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held waterfront precincts.

A development application has been submitted to the Gold Coast City Council for a 27-storey tower at 8-10 Acacia Avenue and 25-27 Oak Avenue, Surfers Paradise, marking one of the few new large-scale residential projects proposed for the precinct in more than a decade.

The project will comprise 156 two- and three-bedroom residences, anchored by a residents-only Moroccan spa-inspired wellness sanctuary featuring private treatment rooms, a traditional Nordic sauna and steam room, hot and cold plunge pools and a curated juice bar. There will also be a resort-style rooftop precinct, complete with a heated infinity pool and spa, a residents’ lounge with a private kitchen and bar, a contemporary fitness centre with a yoga and Pilates studio, and outdoor BBQ areas with entertaining lounges.

<img alt="8-10 Acacia Avenue and 25-27 Oak Avenue, Surfers Paradise" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="997f8dbb-4ed1-47e4-8780-d12a3d5cd0e9" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Article%20Feature%20Image%20%28Grid%29_3.png?VersionId=IsDJXxE8.HG92i4dnbmmPQi.fVXjME7I" />

"At Homecorp, we are driven by the pursuit of better - challenging expectations, thinking bigger and shaping communities that leave a lasting legacy," said Ron Bakir, CEO and Founder of Homecorp.

"This project draws on our experience and expertise to take what the market has been craving to the next level - a home that nurtures wellness, calms the mind and lifts the everyday stresses away. A home is more than a place you live, it’s where you rest, reset and find balance."

&nbsp;

Bakir says what sets the location&nbsp;apart is its rare, tightly held nature within one of the Gold Coast’s most vibrant lifestyle and entertainment precincts, yet quietly tucked away in a peaceful, beachside enclave.

"Budds Beach has remained exceptionally limited in supply over the past decade and this site presented an unmatched opportunity to deliver something truly special to both Surfers Paradise and the Gold Coast.”

Conveniently connected to major roads and the G:link, residents will enjoy easy access to Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach and Burleigh Heads, while still being just minutes from the city’s most iconic beaches and the Broadwater’s ‘golden mile’.

The 2130 sqm site acquisition adds to Homecorp’s growing Gold Coast multi-storey portfolio on the Gold Coast, following the success of Eve Residences in Labrador upon its completion in November 2024. In 2025, Eve earned multiple national accolades and went on to win ‘Best Oceanview Condo Development’ in the Asia Pacific region at the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards Grand Final, outperforming entries from more than 13 prestigious international markets.

The company also commenced construction last year on the highly anticipated $250 million second stage of Cienna Varsity Ridge, set to deliver 289 residences by 2027 in the heart of Varsity Lakes, and launched the $210 million Florence Residences along Surfers Paradise’s Monte Carlo Avenue to the market, with construction kicking off last month.

"The property market is constantly evolving, particularly here on the Gold Coast, which continues to outperform national trends thanks to its unmatched lifestyle, natural beauty and growing infrastructure, especially ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympics. We are proud to be adding more homes to the skyline, creating spaces that are not only designed for liveability but also nurture wellness within. They are homes that are built to last a lifetime and beyond," concluded Mr Bakir.

The project is set to launch to the market later this year.

Boasting landscapes by the esteemed John Patrick, the masterplan focuses on providing residents with privacy and a strong sense of community.

Each townhome is thoughtfully spaced, allowing for a sense of individuality and ample breathing space, with the staggered form of the homes further adding to the distinctiveness of each residence.

Culinary delights are also attracting families, with the local cafe, Pantry, a favourite among residents, renowned for its all-day brunch offerings. As the sun sets, the vibrant Asian-inspired diner and cocktail bar, Too Good Talker, takes centre stage.

Why GlenHolm, Glen Iris townhouses, are a perfect family home

LDS Property are a step closer to bringing their Glen Iris development GALERIE to life with the group recently appointing a builder to the project.&nbsp;

Award-winning construction company Iurada will handle the build of the 29 residences, which has been designed by the architects at Ewert Leaf.&nbsp;

Projects by Buxton are marketing the project with Director Heath Thompson saying Iurada should break ground in the coming weeks which will bring a lot of confidence to buyers.

"Appointing a builder tells any prospective buyer that the project is moving forward and it's going to be built," Thompson says.

"It means pre-sales have been achieved, and finances have been met by the developer for the bank to fund the build."

Iurada has a number of projects delivered in Melbourne's inner ring, including the mixed-use Finery in Brunswick, Confluence in Hawthorn East, and Provenance in Camberwell.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112375 project_image_fid=204402]

Keen interest has already been shown in GALERIE, with the group having sold 40 per cent of the apartments so far, with one unit going to a friend of the developer. They purchased one of the top floor apartments.&nbsp;

It's not a common occurrence, Thompson says, but it just adds a further belief that the project will be a success when part of the developer's personal life is now invested in the project.

A couple also recently <a href="/news/vic/glen-iris-apartment-price-record-smashed-with-galerie-penthouse-sale-just-shy-of-4-million">purchased two apartments in the project</a>, amalgamating them to become one larger apartment.&nbsp;

Read more:&nbsp;<a href="/news/vic/buyer-testimonial-why-andrea-wayne-amalgamated-two-apartments-in-galerie-glen-iris">Why Andrea &amp; Wayne amalgamated two apartments in Galerie, Glen Iris</a>

Interested buyers can still cash in on the group's current buyer incentives, which includes seven per cent interest on their deposit. They're also running a refer a friend cash bonus incentive.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112375 project_image_fid=204404]

There's still a number of two-bedroom apartments available to purchase within the development, with all the one-bedroom floorplans already sold and only two three-bedders remaining, one on level one and one on the top level of the project.&nbsp;

The prominent High Street address will put residents within proximity to an array of convenient amenity upon completion, with the walkable haven near to a plethora of cafes, restaurants and shops.&nbsp;

Glen Iris Train Station is also nearby, as are a number of education options, including Sacre Coeur Catholic School, Caulfield Grammar Malvern Campus and Monash University.&nbsp;

"Appointing a builder tells any prospective buyer that the project is moving forward and it's going to be built," Thompson says

LDS appoint builder to construct Glen Iris apartments GALERIE 

Projects by Buxton has broken the Glen Iris record for an apartment, selling an amalgamation of two penthouses off-the-plan within LDS Property’s Galerie project.

The combined spread achieved close to $4 million, topping the $3.7 million record which was set&nbsp;in 2017 when a nearby penthouse sold.

Galerie has now secured over $10.7 million in sales since launching to the market late last year.

Projects by Buxton Director Heath Thompson said the record-breaking sale and strong interest in the project is evidence that the luxury apartment market is still thriving.

“The low stock levels in the market are making it really difficult for buyers to find their dream space or home that feels like theirs," Thompson said.

"Off the plan sales are thriving in this climate, with buyers loving being able to tailor a high-quality product to their lifestyle needs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112375 project_image_fid=204402]

“Whilst the amalgamation of two penthouses has created a unique standard of luxurious living in Glen Iris, the whole project is focused on fulfilling the buyer's needs and creating high-end apartments that feature a bespoke and expansive design."

Located on High Street, Galerie will offer a collection of 29 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, designed by Ewert Leaf and surrounded by verdant landscaping by John Patrick Landscape Architects.

The local buyer is downsizing and was attracted to the high-end design of Galerie. The buyer worked with the team, Projects by Buxton, LDS Property, and Ewert Leaf, to add a bespoke and special touch to the home, all of which are geared to their love for luxury finishes.

“When downsizing we didn’t want to move into a cookie-cutter apartment and have loved the process of adding bespoke features and luxury additions," the buyer said.&nbsp;

“The team has been great in working with us to redesign the whole internal space following the joining of two penthouses and have gone above and beyond to ensure the space feels like ours."

Two-bedroom residences start from $849,000, while the three-bedroom apartments are priced from $1,159,000.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112375 project_image_fid=204405]

Buyers will be privy to a world-renowned collection of private artworks, innovative architecture and lush outdoor spaces within Galerie, with the building also&nbsp;designed with a strong sense of artistry, forming a distinctly timeless aesthetic composed of brick, timber and concrete.

Residents are greeted by a gallery-style lobby featuring a bespoke Chaumet Chandelier and textured walls lined with a curated private collection of world-class artworks.

All open-planned living spaces are designed to flow seamlessly out to the courtyards and balconies, with large windows and sliding doors to provide a direct integration into the surrounding landscape.

A builder is set to be appointed in the coming weeks, with demolition works on the site recently completed.

GALERIE Apartments Soon to Launch at Glen Iris

Private developer, DealCorp has just sold the final apartments in its $100 million Glenarm Square project.

Set to transform the prominent Glen Iris site into a residential and mixed-use precinct at the gateway to Gardiner Station, the project is slated for completion later this year.

Glenarm Square will comprise 120 apartments, along with 800 sqm of ground level retail and commercial space, complemented by a suite of luxury resident-only facilities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9869 project_image_fid=154896]

Prices for the apartments ranged from $600,000 to $2,300,000, selling to a mix of first home buyers, young families, professionals and downsizers.

Marshall White Projects marketed Glenarm Square, with Director, Leonard Teplin saying they saw a surge of interest through the pandemic, with buyers eager to capitalise on a lock and leave city residence, offering direct access to the Monash Freeway and just a 50 minute drive to the Mornington Peninsula.

&ldquo;Buyers at Glenarm were attracted to the project&rsquo;s location, incomparable city views, elegant design and the amenity on offer,&rdquo; said Leonard Teplin.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9869 project_image_fid=154894]

&ldquo;In this market, it is rare to see a project of this scale sell out before completion. Buyers have some hesitancy; they want to touch and feel the product. But DealCorp have positioned the project incredibly well, knowing their market, and they have a strong track record for delivering premium projects,&rdquo; he added.

The development is the result of pioneering planning by DealCorp, which sought to repurpose 2,700 sqm of land, generated from a level crossing removal and train station upgrade near the corner of Burke and Malvern Roads.

DealCorp executive chairman David Kobritz said the project represented a progressive approach to the re-development and revitalisation of key in-fill sites, particularly in well-renowned locations like Glen Iris where the median house price sits at over $2 million.

&ldquo;We are delighted with the sell-out success at Glenarm Square. Our aim is to bring low maintenance and affordable living to inner Melbourne. Glenarm Square will be a stand out example of how we can create a project which not only services residents but the wider community,&rdquo; Kobritz said.

&ldquo;Glenarm Square is set to deliver not only high-calibre apartments for buyers but an activated public realm that will seamlessly integrate with the entrance to the train station and bring a vibrancy to the area with the activation of over 800sqm of retail and commercial space.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9869 project_image_fid=154900]

&ldquo;By creating living and vibrant neighbourhoods out of this repurposed and highly valuable land, we can deliver residences in suburbs where demand is traditionally high, and create an alternative solution to the challenge of urban sprawl.&rdquo;

&ldquo;Glenarm Square is not only proof that the concept works at an engineering and development level, but a benchmark for the revitalisation of future sites of this nature,&rdquo; Kobritz concluded.

Set to transform the prominent Glen Iris site into a residential and mixed-use precinct at the gateway to Gardiner Station, the project is slated for completion later this year.

Cornus Developments has just launched its latest residential project at 1637 Malvern Road,&nbsp;Glen Iris, with the new project set to be released across two stages.

The first release stage is set to include a collection of one and two-bedroom apartments, starting from $545,000, while the second stage of the release will comprise a handful of two-bedroom residences, along with three-bedroom configurations.

The 42&nbsp;boutique apartments have been designed to cater for the downsizer and first-home buyer, with Cornus bringing their signature style to the Glen Iris development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112842 project_image_fid=197660]

The spacious apartments will be fitted with European marble benchtops and splashbacks in all kitchens and bathrooms, along with European oak engineered floorboards, Bosch appliances, Polytec&nbsp;custom joinery, and integrated dishwashers.

Opening out onto generously sized courtyards, residences are open and light, encompassing the Glen Iris charm in the architecture.

Located in the desirable pocket of Glen Iris, residents will enjoy close proximity to public transport and freeway access, as well as being nearby to educational institutes, an array of cafes and eateries and boutique fashion retailers.

&ldquo;As a trusted, reliable and experienced developer we pride ourselves on providing the highest quality homes in an appropriate timeframe with the build expected to take 12 months,&rdquo; said a Cornus spokesperson.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112842 project_image_fid=197484]

&ldquo;Now is the best time to purchase as the project is in the pre-construction phase and purchasers can capitalise on the maximum off-the-plan stamp duty savings available,&rdquo; they added.

First home buyers purchasing an off-the-plan property in the state of Victoria can qualify for a stamp-duty concession if the home is valued at up to $1 million, until June 30 2023.

A full 100 per cent stamp duty exemption is also available for new residential properties that have been on the market for more than 12 months.

Cornus Developments launch Glen Iris apartments 

Highpark Seasons, the new apartment development in Melbourne&#39;s Glen Iris, was targeted at locals and owner-occupiers straight from the outset.

And the COVID-19 lockdowns has only seen further demand from locals who want to live in the picturesque and peaceful location, right on Gardiners Creek&nbsp;and the popular Gardiners Creek trail.

&quot;People have really re-connected with walks over the last 16 months or so&quot;, Jellis Craig head of projects Stephen Bowtell, who is marketing the apartments, says.

&quot;It&#39;s a bit of an island site, not built on any side, and residents will easily be able to access the nature track.&quot;

The development has been popular&nbsp;with city dwellers, who, since the onset of COVID, have been&nbsp;reconnecting with nature through long socially-distanced walks.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3224 project_image_fid=171807]

Bowtell says the developer, David Li&#39;s Pasino Group, wanted to keep the residents as local as possible, with few investors. To do this he made the conscious decision not to sell the development through&nbsp;channel groups or to investor databases.

Highpark is a passion project for Li, who is a well-known philanthropist and the chairman of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

&quot;He&#39;s not bottom-line focused, he lives locally, and his kids will likely take apartments in the building when it is completed,&quot; Bowtell added.

Highpark is under construction now through Crema Group&#39;s high-end construction arm Camilo, with completion expected toward the end of 2022.

There&#39;s been keen interest by first home buyers, given the affordable&nbsp;$480,000 entry point for a one-bedroom apartment. There&#39;s been a number of purchases by families who live locally and within walking distance who are buying for their kids.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3224 project_image_fid=171809]

&quot;There&#39;s no difference in finishes between one bedroom apartments and the penthouse,&quot; Bowtell said.

The development has been designed by Rothelowman, one of Melbourne&#39;s top architecture firms, to react to its location, with the inspiration coming from the seasons of nature. There&#39;s extensive outdoor entertaining areas in the apartments, as well as outdoor communal gardens and terraces.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3224 project_image_fid=171815]

Four townhouses sit along the front of the development, directly on the trail. Three have already been snapped up.

Across the board Bowtell sees more enquiry during the lockdown months, around 20 per cent more week on week.

&quot;There&#39;s a build up of enquiry, with no one being able to buy anything else in the meantime.&quot;

Bowtell recently sold out Rosanna, a 27 townhouse development in Melbourne&#39;s north east, after just six weeks, with around four of those weeks spent in lockdown.

Luxury family homes: Four townhomes for sale in Melbourne’s south-east

Developer Time &amp; Place and Woolworths are set to lodge plans for a mixed-use project in Melbourne's Glen Iris.

Time &amp; Place and Woolworths secured 173 Burke Road earlier this year for $29.25 million, and this week will submit plans to the City of Stonnington for a mixed-use community on the 4,306 sqm site which was bought as a two storey office building.

The plans by Carr Architecture will see 90 apartments located above a full-line, state-of-the-art Woolworths and adjoining BWS at street level. There will be one, two and three bedroom terrace-style apartments.

Each apartment will feature its own external entry, a hero of the project's design, which allows for dual aspect and improved daylight/crossflow ventilation, while also providing an energy efficient end-product.

The project will be targeting 4-Star Green Star Rating from the Green Building Council of Australia.

Time &amp; Place principal Edward Pearse says that the design that has been put forward does not look like a traditional apartment block.

<img alt="" height="1877" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/time_place_woolworths_2.jpg" width="2000">

"It takes cues from suburban living and Australian Modernism to improve this under-utilised portion of the Burke Road."

"The design considers careful integration of the residential and retail elements to ensure a quality living and shopping experience for all end-users.

“We’ve looked to bring the best of traditional terraced homes – from their sustainable design and down to the entry experience – to a higher density project.”

The site has been identified for regeneration as part of the Council’s strategic plan for Burke Road.

Subject to planning approval, the development would create around 250 jobs as well as 120 ongoing retail jobs once complete.

Woolworths State Development Manager Don Foulds said the development application delivers a clear vision to revitalise the site and deliver a thriving, contemporary and convenient mixed-use development.

“Our proposed designs aim to reflect the unique local character of Glen Iris while delivering on Stonnington Council’s vision for high quality housing and convenient shopping for the area.”

The full-line Woolworths will face Burke Road, with the Hope Street frontage to feature an open-air stairway leading to the residences, preserving amenity for neighbours.
