Growing national developer Time &amp; Place has announced its fifth new apartment development.

With two projects in Manly and two upcoming in Surry Hills and Potts Point, the developer, which expanded beyond Melbourne just a few years ago, is now heading to Mosman. It is planning 53 new apartments on Redan Street.

The 3,233 sqm site, spanning <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/40-48-redan-street-mosman-nsw-2088">40–48 Redan Street</a> with frontage to Redan Lane, is located just under 400 metres from Spit Junction Town Centre. It is reported the developer paid around $100 million for the five-site amalgamation.

Time &amp; Place, founded by Tim Price and backed by James Packer’s private investment firm NPACT, has submitted the project as a State Significant Development through the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

Of the 53 apartments, 42 will be released to the market, with the remaining 11 allocated as affordable housing in line with NSW Government requirements.

fjc Studio has designed the building. In its Design Report, the architect said the diverse mix of dwelling types and sizes, including 11 two-bedroom affordable housing units, 40 three-bedroom apartments, and two four-bedroom residences, will support a broad demographic, including families, downsizers, and key workers.

The development will rise to nine levels, a height encouraged by the NSW Government due to the site’s proximity to Spit Junction, which has been identified as a low- to mid-rise centre. Developments within a certain proximity to these centres are permitted increased height.

fjc said the project “achieves an appropriate density outcome for its setting by balancing increased housing supply with strong amenity performance,” adding that it “makes a measurable contribution to NSW housing supply targets through the delivery of additional dwellings and dedicated affordable housing.”

The new development will replace five existing two-storey homes.

“By aligning with the objectives of the Housing SEPP and applying careful architectural and urban design principles, the development provides high-quality residential accommodation that integrates sensitively within its established Mosman context and delivers enduring benefits to residents and the wider community.”

Mosman has become increasingly popular with developers in recent years.

Developer Abadeen has been particularly active, with Mosman Residences currently on the market and under construction on Clifford Street. It also has an upcoming Burran Avenue project, comprising just three apartments on the Balmoral Slopes, and recently secured the Midas and Honeysuckle nursery site on Military Road.

Prosker Property has a project on Redan Lane, just a few doors down from Time &amp; Place’s proposed development.

Developers including Toohey Miller, DARE Property Group, and WINIM also have projects underway in the area. In 2024, a five-year target was set for the Mosman LGA to increase housing supply by 500 dwellings by 2029.

Time &amp; Place entered the Sydney market with Two Tides, its under construction Manly development. Given its sales success, it has secured another development in the area, more boutique, facing the beach on North Steyne.

They are hoping to launch their redevelopment of The Chimes in Potts Point this year, and next year will look to take to market Marlborough House, an adaptive re-use of the landmark David Jones warehouse in Surry Hills.

Time & Place to take on Mosman apartment market

Brunswick’s civic heart continues to consolidate around the Merri-bek Arts and Culture Precinct, where a growing cluster of cultural institutions, recreation facilities, and public infrastructure has created one of the inner north’s most defined community hubs.&nbsp;

Within this evolving precinct, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/saxon-street-by-milieu-brunswick-31-saxon-street-brunswick-vic-3056">Saxon Street by Milieu</a> introduces new housing directly alongside the civic anchors that shape daily life in the suburb.

At 31 Saxon Street, the project sits immediately beside Brunswick Baths and within moments of Brunswick Library and Town Hall, longstanding institutions that support both community services and everyday amenity.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136434 project_image_fid=348840]

Next door, the newly delivered Balam Balam Place arts precinct has emerged as a central piece of Merri-bek Council’s cultural strategy, bringing together creative studios, exhibition spaces, maternal and child health services, and community programming in a purpose-built civic facility. Together, these destinations have reinforced the surrounding blocks as a focal point for public life in Brunswick.

This part of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/brunswick-vic-3056">Brunswick</a> forms a key pocket within the suburb’s designated Major Activity Centre, where long-term planning has prioritised walkability, civic investment, and increased housing supply close to transport and services. The surrounding street network reflects that strategy, with compact blocks, established retail corridors and active transport links supporting a lifestyle that is largely navigable on foot.

Within a few minutes’ walk, Sydney Road delivers one of Melbourne’s most recognisable streets, known for its long-running mix of independent retailers, international dining venues and everyday convenience. Tram routes along Sydney Road provide frequent connections south toward the CBD and north through Brunswick and Coburg, while Jewell Station on the Upfield line sits within roughly a ten-minute walk, offering direct train access into the city.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136434 project_image_fid=348839]

Active transport also plays a significant role locally. The nearby Upfield Bike Path forms a key north–south cycling corridor linking Brunswick through Parkville and into the central city, reinforcing the area’s reputation as one of Melbourne’s most accessible inner-urban neighbourhoods for cyclists and pedestrians alike.

The surrounding civic cluster extends beyond cultural infrastructure. Siteworks, a nearby creative hub supporting artists and community organisations, adds to the concentration of cultural activity in the immediate area. Educational institutions such as Brunswick North Primary School, Brunswick Secondary College and RMIT’s Brunswick campus are also within easy reach, contributing to the suburb’s diverse resident base spanning families, students and professionals.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136434 project_image_fid=348841]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/jackson-clements-burrows-architects">Jackson Clements Burrows Architects</a> in collaboration with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/designoffice">DesignOffice</a> and landscape architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/oculus">OCULUS</a>, the nine-level building has been shaped to respond to the surrounding streetscape, with lower levels aligning to the street and upper storeys stepping back to soften its scale and improve solar access.&nbsp;

Curved balcony forms reference nearby heritage architecture, while the development’s public realm improvements include a widened footpath along Saxon Street to strengthen pedestrian connections between the precinct’s civic sites.

Sustainability also underpins the project’s approach. The building is designed to operate entirely on electric infrastructure supported by rooftop solar, with an average 7.5-star NatHERS energy rating and EV-charging readiness across the development. Shared resident amenities will include a landscaped rooftop terrace with barbecue and covered dining areas intended to encourage informal interaction between residents.

Saxon Street marks developer Milieu's fifth project in Brunswick and continues its focus on design-led infill housing across Melbourne’s inner suburbs.&nbsp;

Construction has commenced through reputable builder Manresa, who will complete the project in 2027.

Saxon Street by Milieu connects residents to Brunswick’s cultural and civic core

Within <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/candela-ivanhoe-40-upper-heidelberg-road-ivanhoe-vic-3079">Candela Ivanhoe</a>, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/salter-brothers">Salter Brothers</a>&nbsp;takes a different approach to larger residences, moving away from the constraints of a single level.

In Grand Residence 3.05, known as the Lustre, plays out across two levels, with a mezzanine configuration that is uncommon in apartment living.

Lustre is a four-bathroom residence where the layout creates a clear distinction between shared and private zones, with uninterrupted views toward the Dandenong Ranges extending the sense of openness from the main living areas.

Entry is to the primary living level, where the kitchen, dining, and living areas are arranged as one continuous space. Timber flooring runs throughout, with a fireplace set within the living zone. Full-height glazing brings in natural light, supported by double glazing that improves thermal performance.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357506]

The kitchen is configured as both a working and social space. A large island bench provides seating, while a walk-in pantry extends storage beyond typical apartment expectations.

Gaggenau appliances, including a 900mm gas cooktop and 600mm oven, are integrated into a layout that connects directly to the adjacent dining and living areas, and outward to the terrace. This balcony includes a built-in BBQ, reinforcing the apartment’s capacity to accommodate larger gatherings without compromising internal space.

A dedicated laundry room, powder room, and a wine cellar area sit discreetly off the main living zone, ensuring that functional requirements are resolved without encroaching on primary living areas. The master suite is also located on this level, designed as a retreat with a walk-through wardrobe and an ensuite that includes double vanities, a bath, and a dedicated dressing table.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357508]

The mezzanine level introduces a second layer of living, rather than simply additional bedrooms. Two large bedrooms with built-in robes are positioned alongside a central bathroom, while a secondary lounge and study area create a self-contained zone suited to children, guests, or extended family. A large storage room further supports long-term usability, addressing a common shortfall in apartment design.

This separation of levels is central to how the residence functions day-to-day. It allows the lower level to operate as the primary entertaining and living space, while the upper level provides privacy and flexibility. The result is closer in feel to a townhouse or standalone home, but with the benefits of apartment living, security, and low maintenance.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=364553]

Candela is close to 80 per cent complete, with Ironside delivering construction ahead of its expected October 2026 completion. The development comprises 58 residences, with a strong owner-occupier profile and a mix of one to four-bedroom apartments and loft-style townhouses.

Candela has exclusive access to private amenities, including a residential lounge and rooftop terrace. A charming café and a lifestyle wellness centre are located on the ground level, designed to foster community connection and extend the living experience beyond individual apartments without competing with the scale of homes like Lustre.

Candela, positioned in the heart of Ivanhoe Village, reinforces the practicality of the address. With a Walk Score of 90, residents are within immediate reach of cafés, retail, parklands, and Ivanhoe Station, while also benefiting from proximity to established schools and healthcare services.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/milieu-property">Milieu</a>’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elsternwick-gardens-by-milieu-8-gordon-street-elsternwick-vic-3185">Elsternwick Gardens</a> is being shaped around a simple but increasingly rare premise in apartment development: that the built environment should actively support residents’ wellbeing.&nbsp;

Located on the former ABC Studios site on Gordon Street in Melbourne’s south-east, the new neighbourhood sits on an expansive 11,740 sqm site neighbouring the heritage-listed Rippon Lea Estate, whose gardens date back more than 140 years.

Rather than positioning wellness as an add-on amenity, the development integrates it into the physical planning of the site. Architecture by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> is arranged across six low-rise buildings set within extensive landscaping designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/oculus">OCULUS</a>, with more than 40 per cent of the land dedicated to gardens and green space. Walking trails, pocket gardens, and mature trees are threaded between buildings, creating a network of green corridors that encourage residents to move through the precinct on foot and spend more time outdoors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136535 project_image_fid=288420]

Milieu has intentionally framed these gardens as an extension of the neighbouring Rippon Lea Estate. More than 16,000 new plants will be introduced across the site, with species carefully selected to protect and complement the area’s ecological significance. The approach focuses on strengthening existing environmental conditions while establishing new habitats that support native wildlife, reinforcing the role of the landscape as both an active ecosystem and a defining element of daily life.

A private resident gate will provide direct access to the historic grounds during opening hours, allowing residents to move seamlessly between the development’s landscaped gardens and the estate’s expansive lawns, lakes, and mature trees. The project’s gardens will also be maintained by the same gardeners responsible for Rippon Lea, reinforcing the visual and ecological continuity between the two landscapes.

Complementing the landscape is a dedicated wellness hub designed to support everyday health and recovery. Residents will have access to a gym alongside yoga and Pilates studios, while mineral pools and infrared saunas provide spaces for relaxation and restorative wellbeing. Shared lounges, workshop spaces, and pet care facilities expand the concept of wellness beyond fitness, creating opportunities for social connection and community interaction within the precinct.

Environmental performance is another key component of the project’s wellbeing focus. Elsternwick Gardens will be entirely fossil-fuel-free, with homes designed to operate on renewable electricity rather than gas. Passive design strategies, including cross-flow ventilation, high-performance insulation, and thermally broken double glazing, are intended to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures while reducing energy demand. Solar photovoltaic systems will power common building services, while rainwater harvesting will help irrigate the extensive landscaping across the site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136535 project_image_fid=361030]

Milieu Founder and Managing Director Michael McCormack says the scale and setting of the project allowed the team to take a different approach to urban apartment living.

“This site represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build something truly special,” McCormack says.

“Through that process, we arrived at a design that centres on a fully realised natural landscape – a series of private, interconnected gardens that encircle the homes and extend seamlessly from Rippon Lea Estate.”

Elsternwick Gardens will comprise three residential offerings, Gordon Place, Ripponlea Terrace, and The Garden Pavilion, each designed for owner-occupiers and shaped around high-quality interior design by Woods Bagot, K.P.D.O., and Flack Studio. The first stage, Gordon Place, includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments designed with a strong focus on indoor-outdoor living and sustainability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136535 project_image_fid=288412]

Milieu recently appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/brady-constructions">Brady Constructions</a> to deliver the project, marking a key milestone for the development. The appointment follows the demolition of the former studio buildings on the Gordon Street site, with construction progressing toward the delivery of the nature-led community.

Situated between the established villages of Elsternwick and Ripponlea, the development balances its garden setting with strong urban connectivity. Residents will be within walking distance of cafés, restaurants, and local retail, while nearby train and tram connections provide quick access to Melbourne’s CBD and the beaches of Elwood and St Kilda.

With construction underway and the first residents expected to move in by early 2027, Elsternwick Gardens represents a growing shift in apartment development toward environments that prioritise wellbeing as much as density or location. By placing landscape, sustainability, and shared spaces at the centre of the design, Milieu is positioning the project as a residential neighbourhood where wellness is not just promoted, but built into the structure of everyday life.

Elsternwick Gardens' wellness-first design strategy

Brisbane-based developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/red-co">Red &amp; Co</a> has made a striking debut on the Gold Coast, officially unveiling its $250 million COMO development in Varsity Lakes, a lifestyle-driven residential project anchored by an extensive rooftop wellness and activity precinct.

Having recently launched to market, construction has already been fast-tracked by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/5point-projects">5Point Projects</a>, ensuring momentum continues on what is set to become a landmark residential address for the growing Varsity Lakes community.

Located at 22 Lake Street, Varsity Lakes, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/como-varsity-lakes-22-lake-street-varsity-lakes-qld-4227">COMO</a> will comprise 156 apartments across 16 levels, comprising one-, two- and three-bedroom residences designed for modern living. However, it is the project’s rooftop amenity offering that sets COMO apart.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363510]

Designed as a dedicated wellness and recreation hub, the rooftop will feature a 25-metre lap pool, fully equipped gymnasium, and multiple pickleball and paddleball courts - amenities rarely seen in boutique apartment projects.

Residents will also have access to a sauna and plunge baths, while landscaped gardens and relaxation zones will provide tranquil spaces overlooking sweeping panoramic views across the Gold Coast skyline.

The rooftop precinct has been designed to function as the social and wellness heart of the development, encouraging residents to embrace an active, balanced lifestyle within their own building.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363512]

Red &amp; Co director David Laverty said the amenity offering was central to the project’s design from the outset.

“Amenities were at the forefront of our decisions,” Laverty said.

“Buyers today are looking for more than just an apartment - they want a lifestyle that promotes health, connection and balance.

“The rooftop at COMO has been designed to be the epicentre of that lifestyle, with a suite of wellness and recreation facilities that are quite unique for a boutique development of this scale.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363514]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, the residences prioritise liveability, featuring spacious layouts, 2.7-metre ceilings and high-quality finishes throughout.

The development sits beside Bond University, placing residents within walking distance of education, retail and dining options within the vibrant Varsity Lakes precinct, including Robina Town Centre, Varsity Lakes Train Station and a range of leading schools.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363511]

Laverty said the location was a key driver behind Red &amp; Co’s decision to bring the project to the Gold Coast.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/varsity-lakes-qld-4227">Varsity Lakes</a> was a clear choice for us to invest in as it’s a lifestyle hub that seamlessly blends lakeside living with urbanity,” he said.&nbsp;

“Como will capitalize on this great location, delivering a project that not only creates premium homes, but a lifestyle defined by community, wellbeing, and connectivity.”

Red &amp; Co has delivered more than 500 apartments and townhouses across 26 projects in Brisbane in recent years, with COMO marking the company’s first major Gold Coast development.

Inside Calibre, Keysborough's latest townhouse development

The Aultun Group&rsquo;s latest Keysborough development, The Woodlands, is set to deliver a new living experience in the south-east Melbourne suburb.

Situated at 21-23 Loxwood Avenue, the estate features a collection of 42 double-story house and land packages designed with aspirational families in mind.

The three and four-bedroom homes were designed to be modern and timeless with a complementary colour palette of greys and timber accents across the fa&ccedil;ade.

<blockquote>
&ldquo;New projects like the Woodlands coming along will go a long way to satisfying the serious market demand for new house and land&rdquo;, said Oliver Hume&rsquo;s Harvey Carretero.
</blockquote>

Carretero noted that as a rapidly growing suburb, Keysborough was emerging as a vibrant, new residential area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108775 project_image_fid=179327]

Set 27-kilometres from the Melbourne CBD, the suburban gem boasts a number of neighbourhood amenities.

&ldquo;The location is unsurpassed for its close proximity to an array of amenities&rdquo;, according to the developers.

Within walking distance to the property are Dingley shops and Parkmore Shopping Centre, anchored by Woolworths and Coles.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108775 project_image_fid=179333]

There is a collection of eateries and caf&eacute;s along the Dingley shopping strip on Centre Dandenong Road, including Match &amp; Co Caf&eacute; and Strange Servant.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108775 project_image_fid=179329]

The revitalisation of the Greater Dandenong has continued to transform the region, adding a strong incentive to invest.

In 2006, the Victorian Government pledged $290 million to this renewal over the next 20 years to 2026, which will leverage $18 billion in private sector development, create 5,000 new jobs and 4,000 new homes.

The Woodlands is expected to reach completion in early 2023.

Backing onto the peaceful Keysborough Community Park, the project is close to an array of amenities and offers easy access to Mordialloc Beach, Mordialloc Bypass, East Link and Dingley Bypass. &nbsp;

Delivered by the Aultun Group, the Woodlands is about creating a place families can call home for a lifetime, says director Frank Ruffo.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108775 project_image_fid=179331]

&ldquo;The Woodlands is an opportunity for families to secure their dream home built to superior specifications&rdquo;, he said.

&ldquo;The house and land packages provide families the room they need to grow and we&rsquo;re incorporating fully landscaped gardens with modern fixtures and finishes.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108775 project_image_fid=179330]

Set in an ideal location surrounded by parklands that delivers a refreshing change of pace for families, the development also enjoys the convenience of being situated close to schools, shopping centres and outdoor lifestyle precincts like Tatterson Park and Southern Golf Couse.

Oliver Hume&rsquo;s Harvey Carretero said Keysborough was a rapidly growing suburb and was emerging as a vibrant, new residential area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108775 project_image_fid=179332]

&ldquo;New projects like the Woodlands coming along will go a long way to satisfying the serious market demand for new house and land,&rdquo; Carretero said.

&ldquo;A feature of Keysborough is its road access from all directions, linking the suburb conveniently to Dandenong, Chadstone Shopping Centre and the beaches by the bay.&rdquo;

The developers are anticipating significant demand for the project from buyers looking to seize new house and land in a growing Melbourne suburb.

The first stage of the Woodlands Estate is expected to be complete in 2023.

The recent launch of the project’s first stage featured 17 bespoke double-storey home designs ranging from $949,000 to $1,465,000 on lots of land from 255sqm to 551sqm

A premium development of 42 homes, the Woodlands is the newest residential project in Keysborough delivered by the Aultun Group.

Situated at 21-23 Loxwood Avenue, the Woodlands features a collection of double-storey, three and four-bedroom homes.

Urban takes a look at eight reasons why you should invest in a Keysborough home at the Woodlands.

1. Surrounded by parklands

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108775 project_image_fid=179327]

Nestled on the quiet Loxwood Avenue, homes at the Woodlands back onto peaceful parkside.

Surrounded by parklands, walking trails, and close to Mordialloc beach, the property provides residents with unrivalled access to the outdoors.

Families can enjoy strolling through Tatterson Park wetlands, or take a short drive to the beach.

2. Sophisticated architecture

The elegant design of the Woodlands&rsquo; fa&ccedil;ade sets the tone for modern and timeless interiors.

Homes feature a complementary colour palette of greys and timber accents, large floor-to-ceiling windows and generous ensuites.

Each design focuses on space and functionality, with spacious living zones and a modern style that flows from room to room.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108775 project_image_fid=179330]

Sanctuary by the park: Eight reasons why you should invest in the Woodlands, Keysborough townhouses

Keysborough, south-east of Melbourne, has become one of the most popular destinations during the COVID-enduced exodus from the city.

The suburb, near Dandenong, has established itself as a combination of affordable property, family-friendly lifestyle choices, and a commutable distance to the city.

Keysborough has attracted a number of young families, young professionals, and even downsizers, in the last few years, with the suburb recording price growth of 17.2 per cent.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8082 project_image_fid=59642]

It&#39;s close to surrounding beaches, including Aspendale and Parkdale Beach, as well as a number of parks, the biggest being Tatterson Park, which features an outdoor soccer pitch, a dog park, and an outdoor gym.

There&#39;s education for all, from the newly-built Keysborough Gardens Primary School, to Haileybury College, which the&nbsp;local council has announced plans to build&nbsp;a kindergarten and community event space, next to&nbsp;the Keysborough South Community Centre.

One of the most popular Keysborough developments that is being snapped up by young families is&nbsp;Haven Townhomes, the affordable townhouse collection developed by Aultun Property Group.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8082 project_image_fid=59637]

Why Keysborough is attracting young families, as well as first home buyers

Haven Townhomes, in the family-friendly suburb of Keysborough, 27 kilometres south-east of Melbourne, has proven&nbsp;popular in the past few months with more than 75 per cent of the 59 townhomes already sold.

The development has been featured multiple times on Urban&#39;s most popular projects among&nbsp;first home buyers and investors, due to its larger, and more affordable townhouses.

Aultun Property Group developed the townhouse collection, which was&nbsp;designed by the highly regarded Cera Stribley Architects, the design team behind luxury developments like Edition in Toorak and Tate in Kew.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8082 project_image_fid=59641]

There are currently only a handful three-bedroom townhomes still for sale, priced from $714,000.

Situated surrounded by thriving wetlands and meandering walking trails, each of the 59 Haven Townhomes are in a prime position for sweeping views, access to nature and convenient amenities.

Each home itself is surrounded by verdant greenery, and the Haven Gardens is a central feature of the development, offering residents a green community space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8082 project_image_fid=59637]

Part of the appeal of Keysborough is it&#39;s strong investment fundamentals,&nbsp;the suburb has continued to develop infrastructure and facilities to meet growing&nbsp;demand, including golf courses, shopping centres and wetlands.

Completion has been&nbsp;estimated for December this year.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=8082]

The development has been featured multiple times on Urban's most popular projects among first home buyers and investors, as it has been well received throughout 2021

Haven Townhomes in Keysborough more than 75% sold

First home buyers were well and truly back in the market, in their droves, earlier in the year, with stamp duty concessions and HomeBuilder grants giving those who were yet to get on the ladder a firm footing in&nbsp;the property market.

Demands has unsurprisingly tapered a touch from the segment, but many developers and agents are reporting just as strong interest, given how well the property market held up over the pandemic, paired with record low interest rates that are likely to be in place until 2024.

ABS data showed&nbsp;first home buyer commitments remain 20.4 per cent&nbsp;higher compared to this time last year.

With first home buyer loan commitments still holding strong, Urban has highlighted the&nbsp;developments in the suburbs&nbsp;most popular&nbsp;amongst first home buyers for the month of August.

<h2>Brunswick</h2>

Always a popular spot for the younger, first home buyer demographic, Urban&#39;s most popular suburb in August was Brunswick, in Melbourne&#39;s north.

When COVID lockdowns lift, Brunswick will again be home to&nbsp;live music, upbeat pubs and beer gardens. At the area&#39;s heart, Sydney Road has Middle Eastern and Mediterranean eateries, offbeat shops, shisha lounges and cafes along its considerable length. Neighbouring East Brunswick is more upscale, home to upwardly mobile professionals and craft-beer bars.

One of the most popular projects in the area is&nbsp;4 Ballarat Street, developed by&nbsp;Assemble&nbsp;Futures.

Designed by&nbsp;Fieldwork Architects&nbsp;and with landscaping&nbsp;by Rush Wright, 4 Ballarat&nbsp;places an emphasis on providing a seamless transition to the natural environment, with each apartment running on 100% renewable energy.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94542 project_image_fid=160730]

Located in the heart of Brunswick, a popular location for cafes and restaurants, Assemble Futures are offering a&nbsp;rent-with-the-option-to-buy model which has made this development particularly popular amongst first home buyers.

The new rent-with-the-option-to-buy model offers a more accessible pathway to owning a home, that bridges the gap between renting and buying. Once the applicant signs the lease agreement and contract of sale, they secure five years agreed rent with the option to buy their home at the end of the lease period.

<h2>Keysborough</h2>

Keysborough is a family-friendly suburb, 27 kilometres south-east of Melbourne, and is drawing attention for those working from home, and young families, due to its larger, and more affordable, apartments and townhouses.

Haven Townhomes has been consistently drawing attention with affordable three and four bedroom townhomes on offer, with young families particularly interested.

Developed by Aultun Group and&nbsp;designed by Cera Stribley Architects, The Haven estate encompasses a variety of two storey floor plans with the option of choosing a house and land package, or an off-the-plan purchase.

Situated surrounded by thriving wetlands and meandering walking trails, each of the 59 Haven Townhomes are in a prime position for sweeping&nbsp;views, access to nature and convenient&nbsp;amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8082 project_image_fid=59642]

It is set for completion in December 2021.

<h2>Preston</h2>

Back to Melbourne&#39;s inner-ring, just past Brunswick, is the equally lively Preston, a popular haunt for sport enthusiasts with its number of AFL clubs and sporting grounds.

The latest residential offering to hit High Street is Due North, set in the heart of Preston. The architecturally designed apartment building developed by Caydon Property&nbsp;boasts rooftop living, Melbourne views and spacious apartments.

Situated within 20 minutes of the Melbourne CBD, residents at Due North can enjoy the diverse choice of restaurants, bars, fashion stores found on High Street.

Due North&nbsp;offers residents the chance to make the most of Northside living, boasting rooftop space, a coworking area in the lobby and three retail spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5502 project_image_fid=155342]

The development&nbsp;boasts&nbsp;environmentally conscious&nbsp;features and is designed to decrease energy consumption; helping residents&nbsp;save more on their next power bill.

Preston has remained particularly appealing amongst first home buyers due to it&#39;s comparative affordability when compared to popular nearby suburbs like Coburg, Northcote and Reservoir where the median unit price is $75,000 - $150,000 lower

<h2>Brighton</h2>

Not often associated with first home buyer interest, Brighton, in Melbourne&rsquo;s exclusive Bayside precinct, is one of the most-sought after, and most expensive, areas of real estate in Victoria.

Rarely does an opportunity for a first home buyer come along. But the local Southend Property Group is developing their newest boutique apartment development, Southend, with first home buyers at the forefront of their thinking.

They&rsquo;ve priced their one-bedroom apartments from $549,000, and the two-bedroom apartments from $694,000. They&rsquo;re about a third cheaper than the next most affordable development currently on the market at Brighton, which is priced from $1.8 million for a two-bedroom apartment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94152 project_image_fid=171493]

The median apartment price in Brighton is $895,000, according to SQM Research.

Southern is located at 604-608 Hampton Street,&nbsp;where residents can step directly out to Hampton Street&rsquo;s thriving cafes and shops, stroll down to Were Street Village&rsquo;s gourmet groceries and walk to South Road beach.

ABS data showed first home buyer commitments remain 20.4 per cent higher compared to this time last year.
