Longstanding Gold Coast developer Raptis has acquired a prime development site on Surf Parade for its next Broadbeach apartment project.

Progressing towards completion of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-sterling-broadbeach-6-8-george-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Sterling Broadbeach</a>, 90 apartments on nearby George Avenue, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/raptis">Raptis</a>, led by second-generation family man Evan Raptis, has picked up a block on the corner of Surf Parade and First Avenue.

The site had been earmarked for a luxury apartment project with 33 full-floor apartments across a 37-storey tower. Raptis will go back to the drawing board and create a building more appropriate for the site. The development application will be lodged later this month.

Evan Raptis told Apartments.com.au the site ticks all the boxes.

"Broadbeach is a suburb we've developed several buildings over the years. Surf Parade ticks all the boxes for the type of apartment development we want to deliver."

Raptis had several pre-lodgement meetings with council to ensure they are aligned in the development.

Surf Parade has emerged in recent years as one of the most popular streets in Broadbeach for development.

South East Queensland developer Mosaic Property Group kicked it off with Marella by Mosaic. Bassar Group sold out Infinity on the street, while for its&nbsp;first Gold Coast development, Polycell grabbed a Surf Parade site for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-rochester-broadbeach-143-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Rochester</a>, which is nearly sold out.

Melbourne-based developer Hirsch &amp; Faigen recently launched its fourth Gold Coast project on the exclusive strip. The Eveleigh Broadbeach will have 100 apartments across a 31-storey building designed by Rothelowman.

GV Property Group site development specialists Antonio Mercuri and Luke Reaby, who both amalgamate sites and sell shovel-ready sites to developers up and down the Gold Coast, sold Surf Parade to Raptis.

Raptis secures prime Surf Parade site for next Broadbeach apartment development

Less than two years after breaking ground, Gardner Vaughan Group is celebrating the topping out of Bask, its second development in the exclusive coastal enclave of Bokarina on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.&nbsp;

Located only minutes from the beachfront, the two seven-storey luxury apartment towers, known individually as Mydas and Caretta, offer a selection of one-to-four-bedroom residences with views of Lake Kawana, the Glasshouse Mountains, and Bokarina Beach.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333359]

Gardner Vaughan Group Commercial Director Sam Gardner said the milestone marks the home stretch for construction, with first residents expected to be able to move in from Spring 2026.&nbsp;

“This is a significant milestone in bringing this development to life and represents our confidence in this region’s long-term growth and appeal,” Gardner said.&nbsp;

“With 85 per cent of apartments already sold, buyers are joining an established, coastal village that offers the very best of the Sunshine Coast – seasonally patrolled surf beaches, renowned restaurants, and links to established health and retail.&nbsp;

“The final collection of three- and four- bedroom apartments range in size from 127sqm to 300sqm, each with two or three secure car parks and storage, and with construction fast approaching completion we don’t expect the last few apartments to remain on the market for long.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333362]

Local restaurateur Luke Stringer, who co-owns and manages the award-winning Bocca Italian and Playa Mexican restaurants in Bokarina, has lived in the beachside suburb for 18 months and worked there for more than three years, and said the beachside suburb was thriving.&nbsp;

“It’s fair to say Bokarina is finally stepping into the sun and there’s a lot to love about the place,"&nbsp;Stringer said.

"It’s such a great community, where you see the same smiling faces every morning and everything’s within easy reach – it’s the perfect hub in the middle of the Sunshine Coast.

“When we first opened Bocca Italian, we were the lone restaurant, but it’s been amazing to see how the area has grown. The more venues that open, the busier it gets for everyone. When Playa Mexican opened its first Saturday night, Bocca had a record night and Playa was packed too, which blew us away how everyone is thriving.&nbsp;

“There’s a great energy around the place now, and people are really embracing Bokarina as a food and lifestyle destination.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=363368]

Stringer joined other buyers at Bask Bokarina and the Gardner Vaughan Group team to celebrate the topping out at a special event in February.&nbsp;

Located in Kawana Waters, midway between Caloundra and Maroochydore, Bokarina locals enjoy scenic walking paths around Lake Kawana, playgrounds, beachfront boardwalk and parklands, alongside all the convenience of a masterplanned beachside community.&nbsp;

“You see people jogging or swimming in the morning, then grabbing coffee at the cafes, people are really embracing the area and all this growth is bringing more people to Bokarina,” Stringer added.&nbsp;

To take advantage of the vistas, each of the 135 apartments at Bask is designed with full size windows and high ceilings that provide an abundance of natural light.&nbsp;

Prices for the remaining three-bedroom apartments start at $1,599,000 and four-bedroom apartments start at $3,149,000.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=363369]

The mixed-use development also features ground-level retail space for cafés, dining options and boutiques, including the soon-to-be-opened ‘Corner Shop’, by the team behind Noosa’s well known ‘Organika’.

Sam Gardner said Gardner Vaughan Group’s 37-year history building and developing across South East Queensland has contributed to the success of its second development in Bokarina, which follows the recently completed Zinc Apartments.&nbsp;

“We care how people live and this is reflected in the way we approach the design and delivery of every development,” he said. “Furthermore, as a builder-developer we have full control over the construction program and our 100 per cent completion rate is something people can draw confidence from.”&nbsp;

Founded by civil engineers Guy Gardner and Darryl Vaughan in 1989, the family-owned business has evolved from a consultancy firm to an award-winning builder-developer, with projects across the Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Gardner Vaughan Group tops out Bask Bokarina apartments

Prolific Melbourne developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> has launched its fourth new Gold Coast development in as many years.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a>, led by Daniel Faigen and backed by Eddie Hirsch, co-founder of United Petroleum, has unveiled The Eveleigh, on a prime 1,100 sqm site at 7-9 Surf Parade in the heart of Broadbeach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a> will deliver 100 apartments across 31 levels, making it the company’s largest Gold Coast project to date. It builds on the success of its three earlier developments, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/hemingway-1267-1273-gold-coast-highway-palm-beach">The Hemingway in Palm Beach</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/emerson-kirra-100-musgrave-street-coolangatta">The Emerson at Kirra</a>, both completed, and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/yves-mermaid-beach-7-9-mermaid-avenue-mermaid-beach">Yves Mermaid Beach</a>, which is nearing completion.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

The announcement of The Eveleigh affirms the company’s sustained confidence in the Gold Coast market which continues to remain undersupplied. It also increases the value of Hirsch &amp; Fa​igen’s Gold Coast development portfolio to more than $700 million since the company first entered the market in 2021 with Hemingway.

The company has enlisted its preferred architecture firm Rothelowman to design The Eveleigh, which will offer a thoughtfully curated lifestyle, including a substantial wellness precinct, communal recreation areas, children’s play spaces, work-from-home facilities, and shared lounge and dining areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

Designed for the prime market demographic of downsizers and interstate lifestyle investors in mind, The Eveleigh has been crafted to offer an increasingly rare blend of affordable luxury in a tightly held market. Uniquely positioned in the heart of the Gold Coast’s most sought-after lifestyle suburb of Broadbeach, the project will also boast uninterrupted beach and hinterland views.

The Surf Parade site is just a short walk to the bustling Broadbeach dining and retail precinct, Pacific Fair, The Star Gold Coast and convention centre, and an easy stroll to Kurrawa Beach and the recreational amenity of Pratten Park on the Broadbeach foreshore.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360975]

“We’re excited to be proceeding with our fourth project on the Gold Coast in what is certain to become the new luxury precinct in Broadbeach,” says Anthony Bueti, the CFO of Hirsch &amp;a​mp; Faigen and a shareholder of the group.

“With the likes of Mosa​ic and Abedian &amp;a​mp; Co also launching quality projects in the area, the transformation will cement Broadbeach as the premier lifestyle and amenity suburb on the Gold Coast.

"After four years in the Gold Coast market, and with three successful projects completed, The Eveleigh is the product of everything we have learned to love about the Gold Coast and it will be an incredible addition to our growing portfolio in one of the most vibrant property markets in the country. We continue to remain very confident in the high-end Gold Coast property market.”

Urban Activation Director Matt George is handling sales for The Eveleigh, having sold out The Emerson, The Hemingway, and Yves, all before construction was completed.

Melbourne builder MAXCON has already commenced construction on The Eveleigh. They are forecasting a mid-2028 completion.

Hirsch & Faigen unveils The Eveleigh in Broadbeach

Two years after securing development approval for the final stage of its award-winning Thornton Precinct on the doorstep of Penrith Station, Urban Property Group is set to launch <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/mayfair-on-penrith-172-lord-sheffield-circuit-penrith-nsw-2750">Mayfair on Penrith</a>, around 400 apartments designed to reflect two of Sydney’s most iconic structures.

The builder-developer has continued refining the design plans for the two-building development on a significant 8,280 sqm site on Sheffield Circuit, recognising the importance of the prime parcel as one of the closest developable sites to the station.

UPG enlisted architecture firm SJB to design the project. The team said they drew inspiration from both the General Post Office in Martin Place and East Circular Quay to help shape the design. The two-level colonnade, in particular, reflects the famous GPO building, which dates back to the 1860s.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136726 project_image_fid=362014]

There will be one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments on offer, with interiors by Cox Architecture. Residences will sit above a retail podium featuring hospitality and lifestyle operators such as One Playground and Volcano’s Steakhouse, contributing to an activated ground plane within the broader Thornton precinct.

A communal rooftop with a pool and views towards the Blue Mountains will provide shared open space for residents. The development is positioned between Ron Mulock Oval and Westfield Penrith, with the Nepean River and Great River Walk also nearby, placing daily amenity and green space within walking distance.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136726 project_image_fid=362015]

Mayfair is being delivered by Urban Property Group, a family-owned developer and builder with nearly 40 years’ experience across Sydney. The project will be the first in Penrith to be offered with Resilience Insurance’s 10-year Latent Defects Insurance (LDI) policy, which Urban Property Group has adopted across a number of its recent developments. The developer also has a 4.5-star iCIRT rating, one of the best ratings in market providing further confidence to buyers.

Urban Property Group CEO Patrick Elias said providing additional assurance to off-the-plan buyers has become increasingly important.

“Anything we can do to give confidence in our product is a plus,” Elias told Apartments.com.au.

“Consumers are a lot more weary and a lot more concerned in buying off the plan than they ever have been. They’re making their single large investment, which is their home, and providing confidence is something that we feel is paramount.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136726 project_image_fid=362020]

The LDI policy provides a 10-year warranty covering structural defects, with independent inspections carried out during construction and protection for owners if defects arise post-completion.

Mayfair represents Urban Property Group’s sixth and final development within Thornton, consolidating the masterplanned precinct immediately east of the station.

The developer, which builds its own projects, has already commenced construction. SRM Residential is handling the sales campaign.

Urban Property Group to close the curtain on award-winning Thornton precinct with Mayfair on Penrith release

Investor appetite for Queenstown apartments is strengthening as supply constraints and four-season tourism continue to underpin demand across the alpine region.

In Frankton’s masterplanned Remarkables Park precinct,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/safari-group">Safari Group</a>’s 141-apartment Mountain Oak development is attracting repeat and yield-focused buyers seeking exposure to that market dynamic.

Brandon, who specifically targeted Queenstown as an investment location, said the combination of price point and limited new supply made Mountain Oak stand out.

“It is a quality product in a location that struggles to densify,” he said, referencing Queenstown’s land-locked geography and development limitations.

<img alt="From slopes to markets: Mountain Oak connects residents to the best of Queenstown" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/658d4f_48c3ec1ae5df4a2cab7d23c07c7f51b3~mv2.jpg?VersionId=27K8oQ4ExDN8Yu70VHDa9Olq59XU36m3" />

Having spent significant time in the region, Brandon pointed to its global reputation and consistent visitation as key fundamentals.

“Queenstown is a known destination from people all over the world. The place is land locked and there are issues building there. It’s also busy all year round.”

That four-season economy, driven by skiing and snowboarding in winter and hiking, cycling and water-based tourism in summer, was also central to Sherry’s decision to invest.

“I believe the four-season tourism has major appeal as it would ensure that the property will not remain empty, unlike other areas in NZ,” she said.

<img alt="From slopes to markets: Mountain Oak connects residents to the best of Queenstown" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/313_Living_WEB.jpg?VersionId=3LglY20Jp_MAzQYdvwODRWvtjL.cZcqI" />

Mountain Oak has been structured to respond to that sustained demand, with 365-day visitor accommodation consent underpinning a mix of one-bedroom, flexi, two-bedroom and dual-key configurations that can operate as either short-term visitor accommodation or long-term rental housing. Dual-key apartments comprise two self-contained residences on one title, allowing owners to generate dual income streams or occupy one side while leasing the other.&nbsp;

Under Safari Group’s optional visitor accommodation management model, owners receive 60 per cent of the annual income generated by their apartment, with 24/7 on-site management, guest services and listing exposure included. Independent appraisal modelling suggests gross yields of up to 15 per cent for certain two-bedroom configurations, based on estimated nightly rates and occupancy assumptions.

For Brandon, that flexibility aligned with his broader investment strategy.

“It helps to know that I can have it managed either way,” he said. “My focus is on purchasing high yield cashflow properties.”

<img alt="Investors back Safari Group’s Mountain Oak Apartments as Queenstown’s four-season economy drives demand" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c786ba7f-f974-4ce3-9833-1bcd9f2938d6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/658d4f_ae3c049f388f4c13bf801649d91cbb4a~mv2%20%281%29.jpg?VersionId=J25uvzGdvtFaXGzuwz28ewJ9wWzbtvur" />

He selected a one-bedroom flexi configuration, citing both yield and adaptability.

“I work remotely and can travel to most places and work. I enjoy making spaces that work for the lifestyle that I live and it seems that others also enjoy it.”

Ranging from 54 to 57 square metres, the one-bedroom flexi incorporates a separate multipurpose room suited to a home office, additional storage, or accommodation for ski gear and seasonal equipment, an increasingly relevant inclusion for buyers balancing remote work and alpine travel.

Interiors feature underfloor heating in bathrooms and a heat pump in the main living area, supporting year-round comfort. Upper-level apartments are positioned to maximise natural light, with sliding windows and balustrades in select residences enhancing outlook and ventilation. Units are available in both light and dark interior schemes.

Sherry, a repeat Safari Group buyer, said her previous experience with the developer provided confidence to secure another apartment.

“Their developments have always finished on time, the quality has been high, and I didn't feel that my investment may be at risk,” she said. “Knowledge of the developer and our two existing Safari apartments gave us the confidence to proceed with this one.”

Safari Group has delivered more than 2,000 hotel units and residential apartments nationally and is now undertaking its fifth Queenstown development, reinforcing buyer confidence in delivery capability.

Although Sherry was not initially targeting Queenstown due to its price profile, prior visits reshaped her view of the market.

“I absolutely love this region and believe it is a major tourist attraction, which led me to the decision to invest.”

<img alt="How Mountain Oak Apartments draws holiday home buyers to Queenstown" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Ext_Cam15_Sunny.jpg?VersionId=SJAROUM_1s.Tr5ciMk4EEj5oAt_Vewmv" />

Construction commenced in June 2025, with completion anticipated by mid-2027. Apartments are priced from NZ$639,000, and the development carries Overseas Investment Office exemption approval, allowing non-residents to purchase.

For both investors, the purchase represents a balance of income generation and long-term portfolio positioning in a tightly held alpine market.

“I firmly believe my investments in Safari developments are a combination of all these elements,” Sherry said. “The location of this project enabled me to diversify.”

As Queenstown continues to attract year-round visitation alongside constrained housing supply, Mountain Oak’s dual-key flexibility, optional on-site management structure and established developer track record are resonating with investors seeking exposure to the region’s resilient tourism economy.

Land Lots

Residential developer Orchard Property Group has laid plans for a $23 million land release at Calamvale in Brisbane’s south to meet demand for homesites located within 20-kilometres of the CBD.

The project, to be named Jade, is the first in the Brisbane municipality for Orchard Property Group, with plans to deliver 32 lots across a 2.32ha site at 2236 Beaudesert Road.

The land development is positioned to appeal to the owner occupier, primarily second and third home buyers, with the site located within easy reach of an array of amenities including schools, childcare centres, shopping centres and medical centres, as well as recreational parks, sporting clubs, dining options and transport links.

Orchard Property Group’s CEO, Ted Cronin said the opportunity to develop new residential homesites in Brisbane are extremely rare in today’s market.&nbsp;

“The Calamvale site ticks all the boxes for homebuyers who are looking to build their dream home within easy reach of the city and so close to the lifestyle and urban amenities buyers seek,” Cronin said.&nbsp;

“Since acquiring the site recently, we have moved quickly to bring this development to the market to take advantage of demand for residences in such a prime location.”

Orchard Property Group is planning to launch the boutique residential development to the market in the first quarter of next year, pending council approval.

With 40 years’ experience under their belt, Orchard has previously largely focused on the region’s key growth areas of Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, and Gold Coast.

The Calamvale development provides the company with a rare opportunity to deliver a vital infill project to meet ongoing demand for prime residential land in Brisbane.

The company currently has four residential subdivisions under way in south-east Queensland worth more than $300 million that will deliver 1,453 residential lots to the market, including project’s, The Junction Narangba, Aurora Ripley, Willow Logan Reserve and Pebble Creek South Maclean.

Once underway, the Calamvale project and a proposed new development at Caboolture, Aire which comprises 266 lots, will bring the total value of Orchard Property Group’s Queensland development portfolio to $380 million.

With 40 years’ experience under their belt, Orchard has previously largely focused on the region’s key growth areas of Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, and Gold Coast.

Orchard Property Group plan for first Brisbane land release 

Due to the rich amenity surrounding the area and the diversity of product available, demand for Woodlea continues to remain strong.

Woodlea has again sold out its latest two releases within hours of launching, known as Westrise, with affordable parkfront townhomes for first home buyers, and The Yards, with premium lots in the heart of Aintree.

Comprising just eight townhomes fronting a reserve and adventure playground, Westrise sold out in just three-hours and received major interest with 115 registrations.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28733 project_image_fid=167737]

Offering accessible prices for first-home buyers, Woodlea buyer Josiah Krznaric jumped at the opportunity to step into Woodlea when Westrise was released, with prices starting from just $445,000.

&quot;We had been looking at Woodlea&#39;s previous releases, but didn&#39;t feel we had enough savings to commit. This release ticked every box when looking for our first home. The town centre is within walking distance, but far enough from the hustle and bustle.&rdquo;

&ldquo;The five per cent deposit was a big advantage for us. We did some exploring throughout the town and fell in love with the community feeling, and how well everything is presented across the neighbourhood. We&rsquo;re also excited about all the plans and future growth, like the additional infrastructure,&rdquo; said Krznaric.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28733 project_image_fid=167735]

While demand for townhouses within the community show no sign of slowing down, Woodlea&rsquo;s most recent land release, The Yards, experienced a similar result with all 20 lots in the latest release snapped up within the first day of launch, including buyers who already call Woodlea home.

Located North of Taylors Road in Aintree and within walking distance to future state-of-the-art amenities, The Yards is nestled amongst public primary and secondary schools, an active open space, indoor sports centre, major town centre and more, attracting both the upgrader and families.

Woodlea Project Director Matthew Dean said The Yards will cater to the increased demand for land within the highly desirable Aintree postcode.

&ldquo;The Yards will help cater to the regional boom we&rsquo;re still witnessing since 2020, where families are seeking more land and space to grow, while still having everything within easy reach such as schools, major town centres and more.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28733 project_image_fid=167736]

&ldquo;All stock within Aintree has been highly sought after, including townhomes, and even if the market fluctuates we&#39;re confident that this neighbourhood will remain a desired location as it&#39;s right in the heart of Woodlea,&rdquo; said Dean.

Winner of the UDIA Victoria 2021 Awards for Excellence within the Masterplanned Development category, Woodlea is a major asset for the west, comprising prestigious schools, &lsquo;destination style&rsquo; playgrounds, parks and sporting facilities and is home to a large-scale Town Centre, Woodlea Town.

Currently home to 10,500 residents, this number is set to grow to 20,000 residents upon completion.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=28733]

Comprising just eight townhomes fronting a reserve and adventure playground, Westrise sold out in just three-hours and received major interest with 115 registrations.



Demand for Woodlea continues as latest releases sell out within hours

ASX-listed developer Cedar Woods has recently opened a new sales office for its 64-hectare Mason Quarter masterplanned community in Wollert, following a surge in demand for property in Melbourne’s north.

Located within the fast-growing City of Whittlesea, Mason Quarter will accommodate over 800 dwellings and is located just 25 kilometres from the Melbourne CBD.

According to Cedar Woods’ chief operating officer, Patrick Archer, land lots continue to sell out soon after each release.

<a href="/developments/wollert-vic-3750"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="1067" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/cw_masonsq_078_copy.jpeg" width="1600" /></a>

“Land in Melbourne’s growth corridors is increasingly sought after and buyers are in a rush to get into this strong market.”

The new sales office will help facilitate sales and showcase the unique masterplan design that prioritises access to green space.

The masterplan has been designed to showcase the native vegetation on-site with a 7.9-hectare conservation reserve and over 30 distributed tree reserves with retained mature river red gums.

“We’ve developed a clear vision for Mason Quarter, centred around connection to nature and prioritising outdoor space.”

"There is a great deal of amenity in the area and with a site of this size we will be able to establish a brand-new community to enjoy it," says Archer.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=99962 project_image_fid=160808]

Located on Craigieburn Road in Wollert, Mason Quarter is designed around new and existing amenity.

The development includes plans for two schools, a community facility and is located within walking distance to the future Wollert town centre.

The project is also in close proximity to the Hume Freeway, Metropolitan Ring Road, hospitals, shopping centres and public transport.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=99962 project_image_fid=160810]

Covid safety measures are in place at the new sales office with inquiring purchasers able to book a private appointment with a sales agent.

Mason Quarter will be delivered over the next eight years with large 368sqm land lots now selling from $397,500, subject to availability.

Land sales soar in Melbourne’s north as buyers “rush” into “strong market”

Mirvac has acquired an 80-hectare parcel of zoned land in Cobbitty, Camden, which it plans to turn into a new masterplanned community to respond to the surging demand for new homes in Sydney&rsquo;s south west.

The property development group secured the south west growth corridor site from Australian property funds and development firm, Roberts Jones.

Colliers agent Frank Oliveri, who was responsible for the deal, said the transaction helped reflect the strength of the residential development site market in Western Sydney.

&ldquo;This property was highly sought after by both institutional developers and a number of the large home builders in the region.

&ldquo;Residential lots have increased by over 25% in many parts of the market and developers have paid higher prices to secure land stock in the short to medium term&rdquo;, Oliveri said.

Adjacent to the existing suburbs of Oran Park and Harrington Grove, the future community is set to deliver approximately 950 land lots from 225sqm to 1,000sqm, playing fields, a future town centre and community facilities, subject to approval.

Located less than 10 kilometres away from Mirvac&rsquo;s recently completed Crest project at Gledswood Hills, the project will continue the developer&rsquo;s legacy in south west Sydney, according to head of residential, Stuart Penklis.

&ldquo;Having successfully delivered Crest, we&rsquo;re excited to once again be in a position to contribute to Sydney&rsquo;s rapidly evolving south west corridor&rdquo;, he said.

&ldquo;Future residents will relish the picturesque rural aspects of this countryside setting, while benefitting from the adjacent Macarthur Anglican school and other established amenity of Oran Park.&rdquo;

According to Penklis, land and homes in this area are experiencing strong demand due to significant local infrastructure investment including the new Western Sydney International Airport and Aerotropolis now taking shape.

&ldquo;Our passion for reimagining urban life and our commitment to best practice design, sustainability and placemaking principles will guide the vision and masterplan for this new community&rdquo;, he said.

An initial development approval for the first 150 lots is expected to be filed shortly, targeting early activation of the amenity in order to set the foundations for a sustainable, connected community.

The project is expected to be released in mid-2022.

Mirvac has acquired an 80-hectare parcel of zoned land in Cobbitty, Camden, which it plans to turn into a new masterplanned community
