High-end Sydney developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a> has secured approval for one of its latest Mosman projects, one of the first developments approved by Mosman Council under the NSW Government’s Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy.

The approval represents an important step in delivering well-considered housing next to established village locations on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, in line with the intent of the Low and Mid-Rise zoning framework. 
&nbsp; 
There are currently 13 other sites lodged within Mosman Council under the policy, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/27-29-heydon-street-mosman-nsw-2088">Heydon Street</a> among the first to receive development consent. 
&nbsp; 
Abadeen Founder and Executive Chairman Justin Brown said the project reflects a considered and appropriate response to its planning context. 
&nbsp; 
“This approval demonstrates how carefully considered, design-led development can align with the objectives of the Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy," Brown said.

"The scheme has been designed to respond sensitively to its village setting, with a built form, scale and level of amenity appropriate to its local context. The determination reflects a balanced and considered planning outcome, with Council recognising the capacity for this site to accommodate additional housing within a well-located and established precinct.”

<img alt="Abadeen secures first approval under low and mid-rise housing policy for Heydon Street, Mosman" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="92811ce3-02e8-44fc-996e-c61ae039bd3e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Heydon%20Street%20Aerial.jpg?VersionId=ZHJVuWQT64QcdrFJx963pFWFzTX7lI2I" />

The Heydon Street approval followed extensive consultation with Mosman Council, with Abadeen working closely with Council throughout the assessment process.

The approved scheme comprises 27 residences, with only four per floor, creating a low-density living environment. The building will include four half-floor penthouses designed to capture views across Middle Harbour, Sydney Harbour and the surrounding district.&nbsp;

The project is expected to appeal to downsizers and owner-occupiers seeking house-like proportions, privacy and local convenience. There will be north-facing Middle Harbour views from the second level upward. It is also just a flat 100-metre walk to Bridgepoint Shopping Centre, which will appeal to owner-occupiers and in particular downsizers.

Two-bedroom residences are expected to be priced from $1.99 million when sales launch later this year. 
&nbsp; 
Joe Tack, CEO at Abadeen, said the outcome reflects both the quality of the site and the broader need for well-located housing. 
&nbsp; 
“This is a highly considered site within a highly established local setting, offering elevated views and strong connectivity. The project has been designed to respond to that context, delivering a scale and quality of housing aligned with both the planning framework and evolving market demand.” 
&nbsp; 
“This approval is particularly significant in the context of Mosman, where new housing supply has historically been limited. While it represents the first approval of this scale in Mosman to be achieved in over 50 years, it is importantly located within a well-established residential location, in close proximity to the established commercial amenity of Spit Road and Mosman Village. It reflects strong confidence in Abadeen’s approach to design, delivery and community integration, while contributing to the delivery of much-needed housing in a highly constrained market.”

Abadeen has an established track record across Sydney’s Lower North Shore, with recent completions including KOYO in Crows Nest and ENSO in Neutral Bay.

In Mosman, Abadeen recently completed The Hampden, with Mosman Residences on the corner of Spit Road and Clifford Street scheduled for completion later this year. Construction has also commenced at Burran Residences, comprising three full-floor ultra-premium homes positioned just 50 metres from Balmoral Beach, with residences expected to achieve prices in excess of $20 million. Two further projects are also progressing through planning within the local government area.

Abadeen secures first approval under low and mid-rise housing policy for Heydon Street, Mosman apartment development

Apartment developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> is one of the latest entrants to the Gold Coast development market, with its debut project set to be one of the most boutique offerings on Chevron Island in recent years.

Martello has unveiled <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/aere-chevron-island-18-20-mawarra-street-chevron-island-qld-4217">Aere Chevron Island</a>, a collection of 33 large-scale two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments across an 18-storey building on Mawarra Street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367517]

The developer has placed a strong emphasis on wellness, briefing architecture firm Raunik Design to embed this philosophy into the project. It is a direction <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> plans to carry through its future developments along the coast.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> has positioned Aere as a continuation of its human-centric development approach, with a focus extending beyond amenity to the fundamentals of layout, natural light, and spatial planning. Promax Construction has already been appointed to deliver the project, with construction expected to commence in the coming months as part of the group’s broader expansion into South East Queensland.

Rising above the low-rise fabric of Chevron Island, Aere’s design emphasises generous internal proportions and uninterrupted outlooks, with residences oriented to capture coastal, skyline, and waterway views. Interiors prioritise open-plan living, with large-format glazing and carefully considered transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=365237]

The upper levels are dedicated to larger-format homes, including four-bedroom residences designed as half-floor offerings. These layouts prioritise separation between living and sleeping zones, along with increased privacy and storage, features more commonly associated with detached housing than traditional apartment product.

Aere’s private resident amenity spaces centre on wellness. A rooftop level will incorporate a heated swimming pool, sauna and spa, while the rest of the wellness spaces throughout the building include a&nbsp;residents’ lounge, dining areas and a gym.

The inclusion of both social and quieter retreat spaces reflects a broader shift in higher-end apartment design on the Gold Coast, where developers are increasingly responding to owner-occupier demand for buildings that support long-term living rather than short-stay use.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367515]

Aere is positioned within walking distance of Chevron Island’s village centre along Thomas Drive, as well as the HOTA cultural precinct via the Green Bridge, connecting residents to parklands, galleries, and event spaces.

For <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a>, Aere represents the first in a series of planned Gold Coast developments, with the group also exploring opportunities in other coastal precincts, including Kirra and Palm Beach.

The move north comes as sustained population growth and infrastructure investment continue to reshape South East Queensland, with developers increasingly targeting boutique, design-led projects in established lifestyle pockets. Aera’s relatively small scale and emphasis on spatial quality position it within this emerging segment of the market.

Martello™ enters Gold Coast market with wellness-led Chevron Island development Aere

Development approval has been granted for Crescent, a boutique waterfront project on one of Palm Beach's most coveted and rarely developed streets.

Launched to market this month, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/crescent-palm-beach-34-36-murlong-crescent-palm-beach-qld-4221">Crescent</a> will occupy four combined lots with frontage to both Murlong Crescent and Tallebudgera Drive. The project is among the first new developments to get a green light on the creekside strip, home to only 21 tightly-held properties.

“Murlong Crescent is one of those streets that people discover and never want to leave,” said Andrew Erwin of NPA Projects, who is leading sales and marketing.

“The lifestyle here is genuinely hard to find anywhere else on the Gold Coast.”

Designed by Queensland firm ᴮʸculprit and developed by DCS Property Group, Crescent offers two and three-bedroom residences across four levels, ranging from 119 to 283 sqm and priced from $2.5 million. Builder SNBX Constructions has been appointed, with completion expected in mid to late 2028.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151399 project_image_fid=366218]

Residences face north to Tallebudgera Creek, with views that extend to Burleigh Headland. Upper levels also capture canal and hinterland views to the west.

“The creek is tidal, so it changes constantly. The colour, the light, the mood of it,” Erwin said.

“That view over the creek to Burleigh Headland is only possibly from this location.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151399 project_image_fid=366213]

Crescent devotes two levels, spanning more than 1,100 sqm, to resident amenity.&nbsp; On Level 1, a gym, steam room, infrared and traditional saunas, hot spa, cold plunge, and ice bath make up the private wellness retreat. Entertaining and recreation converge on the rooftop with a resort- style pool and sundeck, alfresco BBQ and dining areas, pizza oven, yoga lawn, fire pit, as well as a herb and zen garden. Residents can also jog or walk along a dedicated loop with views over Tallebudgera Creek.

“The amenity here is genuinely out of proportion to the size of the building,” Erwin said.

“Every resident, regardless of which apartment they choose, gets access to the kind of amenity normally associated with luxury resorts.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151399 project_image_fid=366257]

Residences feature natural stone and timber finishes throughout, brushed brass tapware, and New Zealand wool carpet to bedrooms. Two basement levels provide secure parking, with provision for electric vehicle charging.

Beyond calm water swimming, paddling and boating, residents follow the foreshore path to Tallebudgera Beach, local cafes, and Tallebudgera Surf Club, while across the bridge is Burleigh Heads National Park, Burleigh Beach and the vibrant James Street dining and retail hub.

Palm Beach has been among the Gold Coast’s strongest performing suburbs over the past five years, with median house prices having risen by more than 91 per cent and unit values more than doubling in the same period.

Crescent Palm Beach approved as sales launch

The Albanese and ACT Governments have struck a deal to unlock nearly 5,000 new homes across Canberra, with more than 1,700 earmarked exclusively for first home buyers.

The agreement marks the second formal partnership under the Federal Government’s election commitment to deliver up to 100,000 homes for first home buyers nationally, working alongside state and territory governments and industry.

At the centre of the deal is a $250 million funding injection from the Albanese Government, targeting enabling infrastructure to bring forward new housing supply across a number of key precincts in the ACT.

That includes funding to unlock 75 homes in the Kingston precinct, support new development in Weston Creek, and deliver estate works across the territory that will facilitate more than 500 homes by 2034. Additional investment will go towards relocating powerlines, water infrastructure in Molonglo Valley, and further expansion of the Ginninderry regeneration precinct.

Housing Minister Clare O’Neil said the agreement was about making it easier for first home buyers to enter the market, particularly in a housing environment that continues to challenge affordability.

“We’re determined to make it easier for young people and first home buyers to achieve the dream of owning a home,” O’Neil said.

“We know the housing market is tough, and we want Australians to know that Labor has got your back.”

The announcement builds on more than $800 million already committed to housing in the ACT since 2022, according to Finance Minister and ACT Senator Katy Gallagher, who said the latest funding would help ensure national housing programs are translating into real supply on the ground.

“We’re working closely with the ACT Government to unlock land and invest in the infrastructure needed to get these homes built sooner,” she said.

For the ACT Government, the agreement aligns with its broader target of delivering 30,000 new homes by 2030, with Chief Minister Andrew Barr pointing to the role of coordinated planning and infrastructure investment in accelerating delivery.

“Now, thanks to our agreement with the Albanese Government, this work is about to reach a new level,” Barr said.

The deal sits within the Federal Government’s broader $45 billion housing agenda, which includes initiatives such as the Housing Australia Future Fund, the Help to Buy shared equity scheme, and incentives aimed at increasing construction capacity and reducing barriers to development.

Canberra set for 4,900 new homes under Federal housing deal

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/crows-nest-nsw-2065">Crows Nest</a> continues to be a hive of activity for developers following the opening of the Crows Nest Metro station nearly two years ago.

The latest Transport Oriented Development plans are located directly across the road from the station, which sees around 6,000 commuters pass through during the morning peak.

A new State Significant Development Application, filed by an entity linked to Colin Rahim and Pierre Sukkar, directors at builder Growthbuilt and emerging developer Prosper, proposes a 40-storey mixed-use tower with 254 apartments on a 2,127 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/402-420-pacific-highway-crows-nest-nsw-2065">402–420 Pacific Highway</a>.

<img alt="Crows Nest" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="dcc2264f-d701-4493-88e8-d2286770ed20" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-21%20at%209.19.11%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=ZayWJRJQvrngii1roqjR85EvTTmGXq6E" />

The development will comprise 40 one-bedroom apartments, 105 two-bedroom apartments, half of which will include an additional study, 101 three-bedroom apartments, and eight four-bedroom penthouses. These will sit above a four-storey podium, with four levels of basement parking providing 148 spaces.

fjcstudio has designed the building, which it says “embodies the principles of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) by promoting higher-density, mixed-use urban living in close proximity to the Crows Nest Metro Station, consistent with the Crows Nest Precinct Design Guide.”

The practice adds that the development supports economic activity, reduces reliance on private vehicles, and enhances the public realm through active ground-floor uses, public domain upgrades, improved permeability, and fine-grain street activation.

“The proposal aligns with the Precinct Vision by contributing to a vibrant mixed commercial and residential centre that integrates housing, jobs, and services while strengthening the local village character of Crows Nest.”

Crows Nest has become one of the most sought-after suburbs for both apartment developers and buyers since the Metro opened in 2024. Developer Third.i quickly sold out half of the apartments at Elevate Hume Place, located directly above the station.

Deicorp recently launched its debut Lower North Shore project, Falcon &amp; Alexander, while Abadeen and Lindsay Bennelong have completed boutique developments in the suburb.

Prosper is also active in Crows Nest, having recently launched Kora, a boutique development of just 10 apartments on Willoughby Road. Its development pipeline has expanded significantly in recent years, following the completion of its luxury Bellevue Hill project, Splendour, in 2024. The group also has plans for a boutique development on Cowan Road in St Ives, as well as a 55-apartment project in Drummoyne.

Cultivate, the newest apartment project by developer Kincaid, is set to change the face of the small suburb of&nbsp;Heidelberg West&nbsp;when it is completed in late 2023.

Ideally located between the adjoining&nbsp;suburbs of&nbsp;Ivanhoe, Heidelberg and Preston, Cultivate will be the first high-rise in Heidelberg West. It will activate the&nbsp;street-level of Bell Street,&nbsp;with retail space at the foot of the two&nbsp;buildings.

Over 50 per cent of the building has sold, to a good mix of first home buyers, investors, and owner-occupiers, Kincaid&#39;s development manager Joel Martin says.

Investor Patrick Hernandez was one of the latest buyers. He saw a number of benefits&nbsp;to Cultivate, his first investment in Melbourne&#39;s northern suburbs.

We recently sat down with Patrick to discuss why he opted for a Cultivate apartment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=628 project_image_fid=178987]

JR: How did you discover Cultivate?&nbsp;&nbsp;

PH: Via email and Urban&rsquo;s internet website.

JR: What makes Cultivate an attractive investment opportunity?&nbsp;&nbsp;

PH: Good value for money with strong capital growth and long term rental yield.

JR: How do the returns in Heidelberg West compare to investments you have in surrounding areas?&nbsp;

PH: This is my first time to invest in this part of Melbourne, i. e., in the northern suburbs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=628 project_image_fid=180701]

The investment however ranks comparatively though, with&nbsp;an attractive rental yield at 5.2% which is much better than most investment properties I have researched so far.&nbsp;

Capital growth is projected to be around the same level.

JR: Which apartment configuration did you opt for, and what led you to narrow down your decision to the apartment you purchased?&nbsp;

PH: I opted for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-park&nbsp;unit as this unit type would give me a much better yield than a one-bedroom unit in the long run.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=628 project_image_fid=180702]

JR: What made you decide to buy?&nbsp;&nbsp;

PH: The demographics and gentrification of the area has a lot of potential for further growth and development!!

JR: Are there features at Cultivate that surprised you?&nbsp;&nbsp;

PH: It has a WALK SCORE of 80, ergo, more room for future growth and development!

[smartcode_project:default project_id=628 project_image_fid=178984]

JR: What do you love most about what Cultivate has to offer residents?&nbsp;&nbsp;

PH: It&rsquo;s gentrification from surrounding but more established suburbs of Ivanhoe, Preston, and Heidelberg will spill over to Heidelberg West to spur further development in the area.&nbsp;

On top of this, La Trobe University has plans to become a &ldquo;world-class University City of the Future with its 235 hectare Campus development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=628 project_image_fid=178988]

Ergo, this will create over 20,000+ jobs over ten years, additional housing for 12,000 students, and educational facilities for 40,000+ students.&nbsp; This will generate $3.5B in GRP over 10 years!

JR: Do you have any advice for budding investors?&nbsp;&nbsp;

PH: Do the maths as this rare property investment in Cultivate is a no brainer!&nbsp; If you are looking for strong capital growth and consistent rental yield, DON&rsquo;T GO PAST CULTIVATE @ HEIDELBERG WEST!&nbsp; It will surely pay you handsome dividends!

Why investor Patrick Hernandez bought a Cultivate, Heidelberg West apartment: Urban buyer Q&A

Ivanhoe East is one of the most prestigious suburbs in Melbourne at the foot&nbsp;of the CBD, drawing many&nbsp;of their street names from characters in the novel Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott.

The suburb has held strong fundamentals as a blue chip investment suburb and for the past decade has seen strong growth at 5 per cent for houses and 2.5 per cent for apartments per annum in the past decade.

Currently comprised of primarily couples, growing families and older independents, the demographics have been shifting towards younger professionals and younger couples looking to buy their first family home or apartment.

The Grounds meets this growing need for space with more than half of the&nbsp;precinct comprising gardens, public spaces&nbsp;and a central landscaped Village Green, designed by Memla. There&#39;s plenty of space for those raising or looking to start a family.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5806 project_image_fid=168937]

The Grounds is comprised of an exclusive collection of three apartment buildings, each architecturally designed to respond to their own address; Wilfred, Wamba and The Boulevard. There is also the Oak Terraces, located off Cedric Street, offering a limited collection of townhomes.

The homes&nbsp;are&nbsp;finished with hardwood flooring and a choice of colours and finishes, offering ensuites and walk-in robes, or an additional living room or study depending on the buyers needs.

All homes are complete with a host of luxury features, from high quality&nbsp;European kitchen appliances and larder, to double glazing and pure wool carpets.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5806 project_image_fid=168932]

Prices start from $1.1 million&nbsp;for a two-bedroom apartment, with three-bedroom apartments starting from&nbsp;$1.31 million. There&#39;s a&nbsp;a limited selection of four-bedroom apartments, which are priced at at $2.35 million. The small collection of townhouses&nbsp;range from $1.89 million to $2.4 million.

The townhouse prices sit right in the range of the suburb median, while the apartment prices are in line with their size, premium quality and design. The apartments are 20 per cent to&nbsp;30 per cent&nbsp;larger&nbsp;the median size for two bedders&nbsp;in Melbourne.

Just 15 minutes from the CBD, there is plenty on offer on location with&nbsp;some of the best Ivanhoe East dining and shopping&nbsp;destinations like&nbsp;Upper Heidelberg Road&nbsp;and&nbsp;Templestowe Road minutes away.

Canberra&#39;s largest developer Geocon Group are directly contributing to the&nbsp;next wave of ACT&rsquo;s multi-billion dollar redevelopment with&nbsp;their Woden Valley precinct WOVA.

WOVA, short for WOden ReVAmped, is set to host a revitalised residential and mixed-use community precinct,&nbsp;located along the $1.9 billion dollar future light rail.

Woden is also set to host the largest healthcare infrastructure commitment ever undertaken by the ACT Government with Canberra Hospital&rsquo;s $500 million,&nbsp;40,000 sqm&nbsp;facility to meet the fast-growing suburb&#39;s need. In addition to a $300 million Canberra Institute of Technology campus build on the site of the&nbsp;existing Woden bus interchange site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7947 project_image_fid=186441]

Many&nbsp;apartments also benefit from the ACT government&#39;s recent scrapping of stamp duty for off-the-plan apartments and townhouses up to $500,000 with WOVA&#39;s&nbsp;one-bedroom apartments falling into that bracket. The $374,900 price tag is well within this cut-off and $50,000 below the median price for one-bedroom apartments in the area.

The two bedroom apartments across the four towers are similarly affordable, with prices ranging from $513,900 to $574,900, they are ~$75,000 below the ACT median of $620,050.

Rent&#39;s have seen similarly strong growth amongst much of Phillip, where Woden is located, with median rents up 2.3 per cent per capita over the past decade.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7947 project_image_fid=186440]

Designed by the award-winning&nbsp;Fender Katsalidis&nbsp;and Oculus Urban Design, WOVA offers buyer the choice of&nbsp;three different colour schemes.

Located at the heart of a vibrant new urban village&nbsp;there are dozens of cafes and eateries surrounding WOVA, beyond its own commercial and residential ground floor.&nbsp;

There&#39;s also more than&nbsp;3,000 sqm of landscaped gardens across the precinct.

Beyond the future light rail, the&nbsp;Canberra Airport is nearby as well as multiple bus stops and main roads, all of which provide convenient access to Canberra&rsquo;s city centre just 10-15 minutes away.

Why investors are shortlisting Geocon's Canberra apartments, WOVA

The number of new loan commitments amongst investors has continued to see steady growth, up 1.8% in July, according to the ABS.

While not as exaggerated as earlier this year, ABS data shows that new loan commitments by investors has risen 98.7% for the year. After a rise of 0.7% in June, the level is the highest seen since the all-time high in April 2015.

This can be attributed in part to interest rates remaining at or near record lows, while the skyrocketing growth towards the start of 2021 was due in part largely to a number of government initiatives including the HomeBuilder Grant.

With investor loan commitments chugging along solidly, Urban has highlighted the developments in the suburbs most popular amongst investors&nbsp;for the month of August.

<h2>Geelong</h2>

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5559 project_image_fid=168395]

Geelong has remained consistently popular among Investors, making an appearance on many of Urban's top investors suburb lists with a particularly strong showing this month. The suburb had more hits than second and third place, Footscray and Moonee Ponds put together.

For good reason, as one of Urban's most popular projects, Ryrie Home, find's itself in Geelong.&nbsp;Ryrie Home sits in the heart of the regional city’s art precinct, pitching its proximity to Melbourne and cheaper housing prices as a drawcard for investors and owner-occupiers alike.

The project was listed as Urban's most popular investor project for Q1 2021 thanks to Geelong’s low vacancy rate of 1.7 per cent and the 10 per cent per annum growth in apartments over the last three years.

And the transport improvements in Geelong, including the $100 million fast rail and the $6.7 billion Westgate Tunnel which will shave 20 minutes off any commute, has investors keen on securing a property in the growing area.

<h2>Moonee Ponds</h2>

Investors have been attracted to Moonee Ponds over August, with the two headline projects Thomas Street and Feehan Row proving the most popular.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=103179 project_image_fid=167494]

Thomas Street&nbsp;is the first apartment building within the $2 billion Moonee Valley Park master-plan, currently underway by property developer Hamton and financier HostPlus.

Rising six storeys,&nbsp;Thomas Street&nbsp;was designed by the award-winning&nbsp;Rothelowman, who partnered with Hamton for much of the residential work across the project, including Feehan Row, the terrace and house development in the master-plan’s first release.

Being a part of the Moonee Valley Park has residents living alongside&nbsp;the crowning jewel of the master-plan, the horse-racing club now known as The Valley. With a new grandstand, the Moonee Valley Racing Club aims to be the premier night racing venue and is already home to major races like the Cox Plate.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102580 project_image_fid=167438]

<h2>Southbank</h2>

Southbank's Melbourne Square is another development consistently tracking with as one of Urban's most popular among both investors and first home buyers.

OSK Property are the group behind the boutique collection of homes at Melbourne Square.

Featuring four distinct themes, it has been architecturally designed by Cox Architecture, with interiors by designer Sue Carr, creating open-plan spaces which make the most of the spectacular city views on offer.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2929 project_image_fid=139894]

Each bedroom boasts sweeping&nbsp;views via floor-to-ceiling glazing, plus the master suites offer a panoramic city vista.

Set for completion in mid 2021, amenities include a full-line Woolworths and other shops as well as resort-style facilities including pools, sauna, spa, gymnasium and a yoga room.

<h2>Ivanhoe</h2>

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22308 project_image_fid=75052]

Investors have shown interest in&nbsp;Blue Earth Group's latest apartment development, Ivanhoe Gardens, in Melbourne's north-east, which will offer&nbsp;over 2,000 sqm of dedicated amenity space.

The development, built across two stages by leading builder Hamilton Marino to designs by CHT Architects, has 13 different entertainment zones.

Ivanhoe Gardens is situated just off Bell Street, Ivanhoe’s main arterial road. It is near a significant employment hub, with Victoria’s largest medical precinct and La Trobe University within a 4-kilometre radius.

The development is made up of two buildings, Bloomfield, which is stage one of the development, and Linden &amp; Arbour, which is stage two.
