<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Canvas is a boutique collection of 62 apartments in Melbourne's sought-after northern suburbs from property developers ID_Land.

The development of one, two and three-bedroom residences reinterprets the industrial regeneration of Brunswick with an industrial façade and a structural form.

Designed by Rothelowman and Hecker Guthrie, the development provides a sustainable living experience that culminates into a home for families, couples and individuals.

Urban recently sat down with ID_Land’s joint managing director Matthew Belford to discuss the project.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29358 project_image_fid=85965]

MK: What are the highlights of Canvas and what is attracting buyers to the project?

MB: The architecture at Canvas is particularly striking; we engaged one of our most-trusted collaborators in Rothelowman to lead the design, and they have ensured the project will complement Barkly Street, its neighbouring buildings, and the area’s industrial heritage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29358 project_image_fid=85967]

Hecker Guthrie-designed interiors bring together neutral colour palettes and functional floorplans that appeal to a range of different buyer groups. Apartments are spacious and designed to be lived in, with a communal rooftop space for residents to enjoy as well.

One of the main pillars at Canvas is sustainability; the project is fossil fuel free, utilises solar power and greywater systems, has strong walkability and is close to public transport, so we are seeing a lot of interest from environmentally-conscious homebuyers.

The location of Canvas has also proven to be a strong drawcard so far – its status as a ‘Walker’s Paradise’ and its Walk Score of 97/100 means local parklands, public transport, bike paths, as well as the bars, restaurants, cafés and retail stores that make Brunswick so sought-after, are all within walking distance.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29358 project_image_fid=85960]

MK: What was the design brief for Rothelowman?

MB: We wanted Canvas to reference and engage with the rich tapestry of built-form which has shaped Brunswick into the suburb it is today, with a sculptural façade and broad appeal to a range of residents – individuals, couples and families.

MK: Where have buyers come from, and who is the development appealing to?

MB: Many of the project’s buyers have come from the city’s inner ring, with the project features alongside the proximity to Brunswick driving strong interest from a mixture of younger buyers, first home buyers, and families.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29358 project_image_fid=85962]

We have also seen strong interest from ‘right-sizers’ - those who have been looking for property for some time but haven’t managed to find the right fit closer to the sought-after inner ring lifestyle suburbs.

MK: What else does the Canvas community offer to residents?

MB: The project will have a rooftop residents’ amenity, with a 360-degree view of the Melbourne skyline alongside a kitchen and dining space, and a recreation lounge.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29358 project_image_fid=85966]

MK: Why did you choose Brunswick for your latest development?

MB: Brunswick is an area that our team knows well, having developed The Barkly townhouses in 2016 just down the road from Canvas – it’s also an area I’ve known for over 20 years, as I used to live and study in the area.

MK: Where is current buyer enquiry coming from?

MB: Enquiries are being driven largely by Melbourne locals, predominantly from the city’s inner ring suburbs, visiting the display suite.

What buyers need to know about Canvas at Brunswick: Urban chats with ID_Land's Matthew Belford

When buying a brand new off-the-plan property, it's important to thoroughly research a developer's portfolio of past projects prior to purchasing.

If you've been impressed by the look of ID_Land's latest Port Melbourne development, <a href="/new-townhouses/port-lane-201-williamstown-road-port-melbourne" target="_blank">Port Lane</a>, then here's a wrap up of some of ID_Land's past projects to help with your due diligence research.

<h2>THE BARKLY, BRUNSWICK</h2>

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="3795" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/ip002.05526904.160716.jpg" width="5707" />

Just like Port Lane, The Barkly was also designed by renowned Australian architecture practice, Rothelowman, so you'll be able to see some of the intuitive design features of The Barkly carried through to the design of Port Lane. The townhouse development features 65 dwellings on a 0.7-hectare site., with dedicated communal outdoor spaces. The team sought to improve&nbsp;the streetscape by adding&nbsp;rain gardens, trees and creative hard landscaping.

The industry-leading development claimed a win at the 2016 UDIA Awards for Excellence in the Medium Density category. The development sold out in just three months.&nbsp;

<h2><a href="/buildings/yarraville-place-2-banool-avenue-yarraville">YARRAVILLE PLACE</a></h2>

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24477 project_image_fid=74434]

Prior to Port Lane, ID_Land commenced a whirlwind campaign of&nbsp;their Yarraville development, Yarraville Place. The Rothelowman-designed multi-residential development maintained the company's successful&nbsp;sales track record, reaching 100% of the development sold,&nbsp;right when&nbsp;civil construction neared&nbsp;completion. The development pays homage to the site's history, with both Rothelowman and ID_Land having worked closely with heritage consultants Bryce Raworth to ensure the fabric of the past is woven into the modern development.

Yarraville Place features 98 3 and 4-bedroom townhomes and estimated completion for the development is slated for 2022.

<h2>ID_LAND MASTER-PLANNED COMMUNITIES</h2>

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28411]

In addition to its townhome developments, ID_Land has delivered several master-planned communities across Melbourne and Geelong.

These include:

Watermark, Armstrong Creek (SOLD OUT)

Potters Grove, Officer (SOLD OUT)

Potters Northside, Officer (SOLD OUT)

Fairview, Mernda (SOLD OUT)

Display Tour: Port Lane by ID_Land in Port Melbourne, VIC

A coastal community with an urban flair, Port Lane is a collection of expertly designed three-bedroom townhomes in Port Melbourne.

The project draws on its beachside locations to deliver serene and sophisticated residences and a real sense of community.

At an entry price of just $1,025,000 for a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home, Port Lane offers residents incredible value at a reasonable price.

Urban takes a look at everything buyers should know about the new development in Melbourne.

1. High-quality developers

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89720]

Listed amongst Urban&rsquo;s list of 10 developers to watch in Victoria this year, ID_Land delivers high-quality communities of varied scale and complexity, and Port Lane is no exception.

Founded in 2009, the group competes against the industry&rsquo;s leading players and boasts a diverse development pipeline in excess of $2 billion.

2. Community feel

First home buyers who are looking for quick access to green space and a real sense of community should feel confident in the amenities at Port Lane.

&ldquo;At Port Lane, coming home feels like landing in a safe haven,&rdquo; the project marketing reads, with an entrance pergola marking residents&rsquo; arrival.

&ldquo;Creating spaces that evoke an atmospheric interior experience, Port Lane celebrates light, softness, subtlety and shifting forms&rdquo;, said the interior designer, Paul Hecker of Hecker Guthrie.

4. Exteriors designed by award-winning architects

Designed by Rothelowman, the exteriors of each three-bedroom residence complement the coastal surrounds.

The material palette of crisp white juxtaposed against warm timber tones and green accents create a sense of modernity and nod to the site&rsquo;s heritage.

Secure car parking, flexible floorplans and manicured gardens are among the project&rsquo;s many offerings. &nbsp;

5. Curated landscaping

ID_Land’s latest Brunswick development, Canvas offers residents “a blank canvas, ready to be decorated with all the colourful strokes of community life.”

Take a look at 10 things we love about this project, here at Urban. 
 

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29358]

1. Delivered by an award-winning developer

Developed by the award-winning ID_Land, Canvas offers residents reassurance in knowing their future home has been delivered to a high-quality.

While maintaining a commitment to sustainability and innovation, ID_Land has a proven track record of delivering successful developments across Brunswick. 
 

2. Its sculptural façade

<a href="/buildings/canvas-272-barkly-street-brunswick"><img alt="" height="1500" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/canvas-272-barkly-street-brunswick-5b4db4baaa436233691fb6696c8b2c53.jpg" width="2000"></a>

Paying homage to Brunswick’s industrial past, Canvas’ sculptural façade fits perfectly into Barkly Street. Its industrial form, framed by geometric concrete grids, reinterprets the industrial regeneration of Brunswick. 
 

3. Hecker Guthrie designed interiors

Contrasting against the industrial exterior, interior designers Hecker Guthrie create a synergy between modernity and warmth with Canvas’ neutral interior colour palette and timber floorboards.

Interior features of the luxury development include its functional floorplans, practical storage space and floor-to-ceiling windows. The homes feature open-plan living and an abundance of light. 
 

4. Rooftop communal space

<a href="/buildings/canvas-272-barkly-street-brunswick"><img alt="" height="1500" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/canvas-272-barkly-street-brunswick-45cb6856f47df1c101a083d4acdd51ea_0.jpg" width="2000"></a>

Located on the building’s rooftop sits a variety of communal spaces providing residential amenity and green spaces, with views of Melbourne’s city skyline and parks.

The project boasts a communal lounge area, kitchen and entertainment dining, providing work from home space or a quiet corner for a good book. 
 

5. It’s 100% fossil free and sustainable

With forecasts revealing property investors are increasingly concerned with environmental, social and governance (ESG) credentials, ID_Land’s Brunswick development matches the increased environmental awareness of Melbournians.

“Sustainable living is no longer an option, it’s a prerequisite”, said ID_Land’s Matthew Belford. With no gas connection to any apartment, Canvas is 100 per cent fossil fuel free.

All communal areas in the complex make use of solar technology and the rooftop garden collects rainwater for greywater harvesting. 
 

6. Designed by Rothelowman architects

ID_Land’s collaboration with Rothelowman blends rough and smooth materiality and culminates into a beautiful expression of modern architecture.

“We want to engage with the rich tapestry of built form which has shaped Brunswick into the suburb it is today”, Rothelowman architect Stuart Marsland said.

<a href="/buildings/canvas-272-barkly-street-brunswick"><img alt="" height="1500" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/canvas-272-barkly-street-brunswick-e7adb8bdb83ba7a3a6f404561e44bc20_1.jpg" width="2000"></a>

Designing a building offering a collection of 62 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, Rothelowman has placed families, couples and individuals as the foundation of their design decisions. 
 

7. On-grade car parking and bike parking

Situated on the bustling Barkly Street, Canvas provides absolute convenience with private and secure access to an on-grade car park, with no car lifts or parking stackers.

Each apartment also benefits from at least one bike space and on-site bike maintenance facilities are available.

But if walking or cycling isn’t for you, Canvas boasts an impressive walk score of 97/100, located less than a minute from nearby shops and just three minutes’ walk to the nearest tram stop. 
 

8. The modern kitchen

For those who enjoy cooking, Canvas’ modern kitchen will be a welcome treat. Hecker Guthrie incorporates European oak joinery, Terrazzo tiles and matte black tapware to keep in touch with the residences’ industrial design.

Each unit has Fisher &amp; Paykel induction cooktops and functional built-in storage design, perfect for entertaining. 
 

9. Vibrating with Brunswick’s dynamic energy

Canvas lies in the heart of Brunswick’s vibrant community, amongst retail hotspots, diverse eateries and bustling bars.

<a href="/buildings/canvas-272-barkly-street-brunswick"><img alt="" height="1500" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/canvas-272-barkly-street-brunswick-de807b7ac3dd91d983ab9330076df572.jpg" width="2000"></a>

“The Brunswick community is so richly diverse it should be its own city”, ID_Land’s Jeff Garvey said.

Located in close proximity to the Melbourne CBD, amongst universities and a walk from Princes Park, Canvas residents are spoilt for choice, whatever their day brings.

 

10. First home buyers can save $10,000

Eligible first home buyers may be eligible for the $10,000 First Home Owners Grant, as well as no stamp duty. Other buyers may be eligible for a 50 per cent reduction in stamp duty, subject to purchaser eligibility.

10 things we love about ID Lands's Canvas Brunswick

Developer ID_Land’s Yarraville Place, a new community development of 98 townhomes, has successfully sold 93 per cent of their stock with only six homes left on the market.

As Melbourne’s property market paves its way toward recovery, now may be the best time to secure a new home before rates of profit-making sales improve in the coming quarters and prices rise.

As of December, values across the Melbourne market are already showing a recovery trend, with values up 1.5 per cent in the three months to December, according to a recent CoreLogic report.

<a href="/buildings/yarraville-place-2-banool-avenue-yarraville"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="1214" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/idl1546_yarravilleplace_s040_ext_typeejn_final_web.jpg" width="2000" /></a>

Working closely with heritage consultants, Bryce Raworth, the development boasts an inspired heritage brick façade, designed by architects Rothelowman.

The new community lies nestled among the Edwardian and Victorian architecture of the area and echoes the suburb’s historic past with modern sophistication.

Heritage bluestone meets modern finesse, reinvigorated with contemporary sawtooth forms and lightweight materials.

Located at the southern end of the site, the remaining homes have been designed for couples, young families and passionate entertainers.

<a href="/buildings/yarraville-place-2-banool-avenue-yarraville"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="1078" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/idyarr7350_web_low_balcony-1920x1078.jpg" width="1920" /></a>

Each townhouse features ample living space across its three storeys, plus terrace views over the village surrounds.

The development, eligible for the $15,000 HomeBuilder scheme, is ideal for first home buyers who may also be eligible for a reduction in stamp duty and state government grants.

Estimated for completion in early 2022, Yarraville Place townhomes sell from $820,000. &nbsp;

Just six homes remain in ID Land’s Yarraville Place

<html><body>
Last week, all eleven Woodlea townhomes were snapped up within hours after being launched to market, and by the weekend Yarraville Place had sold 50% of 55 townhomes in the first week of sales. These statistics suggest a high demand for stock in Melbourne’s western suburbs, with buyers ready to move 10-30 kilometres out of the CBD to secure their dream home.

This sentiment follows waves of uncertainty around buying off-the-plan; however, today, there are many reasons why purchasing off-the-plan could be a better time than ever.

Here are five reasons to consider buying a new apartment or townhome.

<ol>
<li>Building regulations are stricter today</li>
	<li>Many home seekers could be eligible for Stamp Duty concessions</li>
	<li>House prices are forecast to increase over the next 12 to 24 months</li>
	<li>Mortgage serviceability has become easier for home buyers</li>
	<li>Finance is more accessible to acquire due to APRA’s loosened lending constraints</li>
</ol>
<h2>Why Woodlea sales were such a success</h2>

Known as Australia’s fastest-growing community, Woodlea has now launched its most affordable product to date – 11 townhomes all of which sold within hours of release.  The two and three-bedroom homes designed by <a href="/architects/dko-architecture">DKO Architecture</a>, with grounds curated by MDG Landscape Architecture, allowed buyers to purchase an architecturally-designed, spacious home for around $339,000, which is rare in today’s market given the average first home buyer loan <a href="https://www.finder.com.au/australian-home-loan-statistics">is about $366,776</a>.

Woodlea’s Project Director Matthew Dean noticed a gap in the market which caters to the need for affordable housing to ease the debt of first home buyers, which is what inspired The Urbanist Collection.

<blockquote>
“It’s unheard of to be able to buy an architecturally designed townhouse that is turnkey ready for under $350,000 so it was important for us to offer a product that catered to the first home buyer market and the loan size in which they can borrow.”

Each home includes luxurious Smeg appliances, 2.5-2.7-metre-high ceilings, spacious living areas, stone benchtops and more.

<blockquote>
“Buyers will be spoilt for choice with a variety of floor plans to choose from, all while being located in the social heart of Woodlea; just 100-metres from the future local Town Centre, an abundance of parks and nearby schools.”

Matthew Dean, Woodlea Project Director

Key selling points:

<ul>
<li>Located within walking distance to the local playground, which is found to increase housing values by approximately $20,000</li>
	<li>All townhomes include high-quality appliances, fixtures and fittings</li>
	<li>Townhomes require only a 5% deposit</li>
</ul>
<h2>Why first home buyers are flocking to Yarraville Place</h2>

Property developer ID_Land celebrated a successful opening week of Yarraville Place sales, bringing in a staggering $45 million and selling more than 50% of townhome stock.

ID_Land Joint Managing Director Matthew Belford explained that location was a key driver behind the impressive sales.

<blockquote>
“We think the strength of the sales results to-date indicate that buyers across multiple demographics are back in the market and they’re looking for accessible, premium property in sought-after postcodes like Yarraville. Understanding the demographics of the area, we saw an opportunity to deliver a product that would embrace the character of the location while tapping into the significant demand for three- and four-bedroom dwellings at an affordable price.”
