<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/aura-by-aqualand-north-sydney-168-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">AURA</a>&nbsp;doesn’t just rise over North Sydney, it redefines it. Now in its final release, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/aqualand-australia">Aqualand</a>’s $1 billion architectural statement is not just complete, but already reshaping the way people live, connect and dine in this rapidly evolving harbourside CBD.

Positioned beside the new Victoria Cross Metro Station and boasting panoramic views across Sydney Harbour, Aura’s 386 residences crown a mixed-use precinct designed with unapologetic ambition. The curvaceous sandstone-inspired form by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>, paired with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/richards-stanisich">Richard Stanisich</a>’s understated interiors, sets a design tone that’s both monumental and intimate.

At its peak, literally, the two penthouses so spectacular they command their own names; La Davina and Il Magnate. The residents are spread across the&nbsp;entire top floor, offering what many consider the most refined residences ever built in North Sydney. Designed by Richard and Kirsten Stanisich, each four-bedroom home is meticulously crafted to evoke calm, space, and permanence.&nbsp;

The kitchens are fully wrapped in natural stone, with integrated Gaggenau appliances, Sub-Zero fridges, concealed sculleries, and even a zip hydro tap delivering boiling, chilled and sparkling water on demand. A linear stone fireplace anchors the open-plan living space, dividing lounge and dining zones with quiet sophistication.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=292861]

The master suite, meanwhile, feels more like a private retreat, complete with a custom stone makeup vanity, walk-through dressing area, and spa-inspired ensuite with heated stone floors, a freestanding Villeroy &amp; Boch tub, and timber veneer joinery throughout.

Kirsten Stanisich, Director of Richards Stanisich, said the penthouses offer incredible scale reflective of a single residence.&nbsp;

“We sought inspiration for these remarkable residences from the classic top-floor Parisian apartment," Stanisich said.

"We looked at what made these French apartments so elegant and found it really came down to their scale. It was ultimately this generosity of space that we used for the AURA penthouses, where we’ve designed considered rooms with deep large-scale proportions."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=310337]

Everyday living at Aura feels no less elevated. A dedicated 24-hour concierge, Technogym fitness centre, sky dining terraces, and a resort-style pool serve a lifestyle designed to rival luxury hotels.

At street level, Aqualand’s own hospitality arm, Etymon Projects, curates a precinct of LA-style bistros, Japanese fine dining, and local wine bars, all seamlessly integrated into the building’s sculptural podium.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=310337]

This final chapter, aptly dubbed The Finale, is more than a sales phase, it’s an invitation to two of the most exclusive apartments ever to be built in North Sydney.

With limited residences remaining, buyers can access curated incentives including stamp duty rebates, rental guarantees, legal fee coverage, and even $20,000 towards dining within the precinct.

From generous one-bedders to The Icons, two singular penthouses priced well into prestige territory, Aura’s offerings reflect a scale and calibre rarely seen in urban Sydney. And with move-in now immediate, this is no longer a promise of future luxury. It’s happening.

Aqualand unveils penthouse collection at AURA By Aqualand in North Sydney

There’s no sign of the development wave that began several years ago slowing along Old Burleigh Road.

Around 10 new apartment developments are either underway or preparing to launch along the 800-metre strip stretching from the southern edge of Surfers Paradise towards the heart of Broadbeach, collectively adding just shy of 1,000 new apartments to the beachfront corridor.

The latest plans propose a further 30 apartments to replace an original six-unit walk-up on a 658 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/20a-old-burleigh-road-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">20A Old Burleigh Road</a>. The 14-storey building has been designed by Ferro Chow Architecture, which recently joined the Elevation Architecture Group.

The developer behind the project is Geoffrey Booth, whose Future Liv In has focused on delivering rental accommodation across regional Australia.

<img alt="Old Burleigh Road" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="99d393e7-d404-43bc-80cb-6255c39b83d6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-01-05%20at%2012.28.44%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ZFT8F3mOny4M4ut.kFF3woC9WH9oR5gT" />

The Old Burleigh Road development will comprise 18 two-bedroom apartments, 10 three-bedroom apartments, and a single four-bedroom residence occupying the entirety of level 12. Above, the building will be crowned by a two-storey penthouse with its own private lift, several multi-purpose rooms, and two rooftop terraces — one featuring a puppy lawn and spa, the other offering a private swimming pool, sunset deck, and built-in barbecue.

Resident amenities will be located on the second level and include a pool with adjoining spa, cabana, and pool deck, along with an indoor residents’ lounge featuring a bar and an alfresco barbecue kitchen.

In the architectural statement submitted by Elevation Architecture, the project is referred to as “UMI”, which the firm says has been “inspired by the majestic hinterlands and shaped by the coastal climate”.

“It is an exemplar of how community living can still feel at one with nature, breathable, and deeply connected in place,” the architects noted.

They added that the site benefits from established building separation to adjoining towers, helping to maintain privacy, sunlight, and residential amenity, while still offering direct beach access within an urban setting.

“Drawing inspiration from the Gold Coast hinterlands and the region’s natural landscape, the podium and tower detail highlights the contrasting elements of treetop green and cliff-face peach. The vibrant texture and materiality shaped by time has a richness in depth and character.”

Old Burleigh Road has become a hotspot for developers, with the three-tower Jewel development kickstarting a wave of projects up and down the strip when it was completed in 2020.

Currently under construction and approaching completion is <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/faro-broadbeach-123-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">FARO Broadbeach</a> by 5Point and Bottega, 21 large-scale half- and full-floor apartments. 5Point is also behind the recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lumara-108-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">Lumara</a>, another 37 apartments to add to the pipeline.

Luxury builder GRAYA is progressing construction on <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/enclave-by-graya-118-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">Enclave</a>, its first Gold Coast tower, while Polycell remains the most active developer on the street. They are preparing to launch <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sandpiper-broadbeach-155-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">Sandpiper</a>, a 50-storey redevelopment of the former Sandpiper Holiday Resort that will deliver around 200 apartments alongside extensive resident amenity. The group also has another 130-apartment project approved nearby, as does <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/dvb-approved-for-second-broadbeach-apartment-development">Dean Gallagher’s DVB Projects</a>.

Sunshine Coast developer Habitat Development Group continues to position itself as one of the region’s largest new apartment developers.

Its latest project is in Maroochydore, where it is currently delivering <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-millwell-2-millwell-road-east-maroochydore-qld-4558">The Millwell</a>. Adjacent to the new 53-hectare Maroochydore City Centre project, Habitat is planning a further 180 apartments on a 3,468 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/132-136-aerodrome-road-maroochydore-qld-4558">132–136 Aerodrome Road</a>. The site was purchased with approval for a smaller 13-storey, 103-unit building.

Habitat will demolish the two existing retail centres, currently home to the Salvation Army Family Store and Neighbours Aid, and replace them with an 18-storey building featuring the significant rooftop amenities that have become a hallmark of Habitat developments in recent years. The rooftop will include both indoor and outdoor spaces, anchored by an infinity swimming pool.

<img alt="Maroochydore" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ad434d07-666b-4614-b33e-530ad6a2d261" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-01-05%20at%2010.12.33%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7pyLsPWKQuwv0us3_v.9DmbzEc2VZe9Z" />

There will be a mix of one- to four-bedroom apartments.

The Development Assessment Report, submitted to the Sunshine Coast Council, says the proposal&nbsp;is not speculative, but a response to both zoning intent and demonstrated housing need.

“The proposed development represents an appropriate and logical intensification of the site, consistent with the planning framework and the intended urban outcomes for the locality.”

Across the Sunshine Coast, councils are increasingly scrutinising not just height or yield, but whether new projects genuinely align with the long-term structure plans underpinning growth corridors. The&nbsp;ASTP Planning Report&nbsp;reinforces the approach, noting that the project has been shaped around site responsiveness rather than generic typology.

“The development has been designed to respond to the physical constraints and opportunities of the site, while delivering a high-quality residential outcome that integrates with the existing and emerging urban context.”

<img alt="Habitat" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3a03fc54-4ca5-4868-88d0-eeced70604e2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-01-05%20at%2010.12.28%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=1pkK3lJrrZjkghTLBReM2zatcas4Nc4B" />

In mid-2025, Habitat, a developer that also builds its own projects, commenced construction on The Millwell, located just over one kilometre from the new proposal. The Millwell will comprise more than 200 apartments across two eight-storey buildings.

Habitat also has two projects on Lake Kawana in Birtinya: <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/st-clair-birtinya-930-931-waterside-retreat-birtinya-qld-4575">St Clair</a>, a 200-unit, two-building development launched last year and set to welcome buyers this year; and Esperance, a 175-apartment project currently progressing through the development approval process.

John Camilleri, the breeder of legendary racehorse Winx, is set to deliver a landmark two-tower beachfront development that would redefine the Surfers Paradise skyline.

Camilleri, who spent around $100 million acquiring development sites across the Gold Coast in 2025, has lodged plans for two new towers on the dress-circle stretch of Garfield Terrace, just two days before Christmas.

In assembling the site, Camilleri's Celestino Developments has effectively acquired the 71 Garfield project by Iris Capital and AALTO by Weiya Holdings, creating an unrivalled <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/63-79-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">4,000 sqm beachfront holding along Garfield Terrace</a>.

The proposal comprises two residential towers of 55 and 48 storeys, linked by a dramatic skybridge which will home “exclusive VIP and wellness amenities.”

In total, the development would deliver 275 two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments across the two towers, rising above a shared landscaped podium that incorporates a central green space and a beachfront swimming pool stretching more than 90 metres.

<img alt="DBI" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="097900f3-6bef-4919-b168-b08f2f762876" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.37.58%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=et0SpmcvaPPVrexI_zWi46BVFtZBxAzx" />

Architecture firm DBI, in documents submitted to Gold Coast City Council, said the project at 63–79 Garfield Terrace would “establish a new benchmark for beachfront residential living on the Gold Coast.”

"The project occupies a rare, uninterrupted oceanfront site and has been shaped by a design philosophy that merges architectural elegance with environmental responsiveness and a carefully curated lifestyle experience. Together, the 48-storey North Tower and 55-storey South Tower form a distinctive twin-tower composition whose dynamic silhouette will make a significant contribution to the Surfers Paradise skyline."

DBI said the architectural language draws inspiration from the fluidity and movement of the coastal landscape.

"Each tower is defined by organic, curving forms and continuous balcony ribbons that wrap the buildings, providing deep shading, enhancing environmental performance, and reinforcing the rhythmic, sculptural expression of the façade. These balcony forms also reduce the apparent mass of the towers while maintaining strong visual continuity from podium to summit. Sculpted reflective downturns run along the western spine of both towers, shifting and lifting as they extend upwards to frame service zones and open eastward to maximise ocean views."

<img alt="Garfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a2a00ce3-a0e9-45d6-b4b5-b7baed592ac5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.53.40%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=DnruWV1dhLrtXOeElwekyd7vPq2gw55t" />

The project’s most striking feature is the skybridge at level 45, which will house executive lounges, formal dining spaces, wellness facilities and panoramic ocean-facing views.

“The skybridge enhances the identity of the development, promotes social interaction, and delivers a lifestyle experience not found elsewhere on the Gold Coast,” DBI added.

The podium will host an extensive suite of recreational amenities, including resident lounges, private dining rooms, a large open green lawn, and the signature 90-metre pool stretching along the beachfront. The pool is divided into lap, lounge and children’s zones.

The southern end of the podium will accommodate additional wellness facilities, including a gymnasium, plunge pools, treatment rooms and a dedicated yoga lawn.

<img alt="Garfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ee1b4f25-231f-4804-83b1-a573a1481962" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.55.47%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=zObzIA3D5w7EwqPsHjr2pKrA4vbB28zL" />

There will be 127 apartments in the North Tower and 148 in the South Tower, including multiple penthouses, while the Enderley Avenue and Oceanway frontages will be activated by a series of food and beverage tenancies.

Camilleri emerged as the most active site acquirer on the Gold Coast in 2025. He spent just over $30 million acquiring Pacific Point, a 10-level Surfers Paradise apartment block and an adjoining three-level duplex, from fellow racing identity and Aquis billionaire Tony Fung. Plans are now underway for a 93-apartment, 40-storey tower on the 1,682 sqm site.

He also paid $53.65 million for the 1,500 sqm Garfield Terrace site previously marketed as AALTO by Weiya Holdings, before acquiring the adjoining parcel from hotel billionaire Sam Arnaout’s Iris Capital, the developer behind V&amp;A Broadbeach.

The Melbourne-based HLA Group is the latest developer to expand into South East Queensland, lodging plans for a unique mixed-use short-term accomodation and apartment building in Taringa, with the building design inspired by the Glasswing Butterfly.

The development application for 10 Morrow Street seeks approval for a total of 232 dwellings, comprising 116 residential apartments and 116 short-stay accommodation units. The build-to-sell residential component is made up of 31 one-bedroom apartments, 67 two-bedroom apartments, 17 three-bedroom apartments, and a single four-bedroom apartment, offering a diverse mix aimed at singles, couples, families, and downsizers.

<img alt="Taringa" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="33913cd4-9839-4456-b325-d35b3f8b4694" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.40.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=sLvc7jUrYzDwqPDZBPrXTosKHDSp.qrt" />

Designed by Ellivo Architects, the tower takes strong inspiration from nature, with the architectural language driven by one of Queensland’s most delicate species. As described in the planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council, Ellivo Architects state the design is “inspired by the elegance of the Glasswing butterfly," and mirrors the graceful sweep of its wings, a form that feels light, fluid, and alive.

“Lush subtropical greenery is throughtfull woven throughout, transforming the building into a sanctuary in the heart of the city.”

The proposal positions the building as more than a conventional residential tower, with Ellivo Architects describing 10 Morrow Street as “an urban oasis that blends short term accomodation with residential living. A destination for rest, relaxation, and renewal.”

<img alt="Taringa" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="84e9a0ff-464e-4973-bffe-5d5a8fe9f087" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.40.32%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dhX9eVgUaQE2TvCzJPhF8N8_hzYSKpyK" />

Formally, the building’s massing and floorplate are directly shaped by its butterfly inspiration. Ellivo explain that, “adopting the wings of the Glasswing Butterfly, the tower's plan is divided into four distinct quadrants, each shaped to mirror the wing's segmented geometry and taking the slender ‘veins’ up the facade of the tower.”

"This approach results in a sculpted tower form with articulated façades and a strong vertical expression."

<img alt="Taringa" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5947011d-ff6c-4a57-bdc1-9072a472a79c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.40.29%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=nnGqd4WCZM8AOJZY.c3u49BO4LurKRhb" />

The Assessment Report by Human Habitats said the 19-storey tower capitalises on its strategic connectivity and prominence at the entrance of Taringa Village and adjoining the Taringa Station.

"The proposal offers a significant revitalisation of the subject site that integrates architectural excellence, innovation, and sustainable design to directly address long-standing connectivity and safety challenges, housing supply , and diversity together with enhanced streetscape activation and convenient access to major transport corridors."

HLA Group Australia is registered to South Yarra and is currently delivering Adamson No.5, just 15 luxury apartments that start from around $2 million.&nbsp;

Apartment re-sales in the recently completed Opera Residences have shown price increases of between 20% to 30% since the project launched, according to CBRE.&nbsp;

All 104 Opera Residences sold off the plan within two hours of their 2016 launch, with $600m in sales recorded in a single day.&nbsp;

The level 19 penthouse sold for $26 million (or $96,000psm), and the buyer also purchased two three-bedroom apartments below, spending a total of $57 million.

&quot;The feedback I&rsquo;m getting is Opera Residences&rsquo; finish is beyond expectation,&quot; leading re-sale agent of Opera residences, Auschain&#39;s Sean Huang said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6012 project_image_fid=84194]

&quot;The CBD market has been impacted the most from covid and border closures, but this building has proven to be bullet proof.

&quot;Original purchasers re-selling are making exceptional profits and I don&rsquo;t see this slowing down.&rdquo;&nbsp;

Experts say Australia&rsquo;s growing ultra-high-net-worth population is driving the luxury end of the property market. The latest property forecasts show that luxury sales are 17% higher this quarter than the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to average national luxury home prices rising 2.9% in previous years.

Re-sales&nbsp;have increased by 20-30%&nbsp;since the project launched,&nbsp;CBRE&rsquo;s Tim Rees says, adding that they expect that trend to continue.

&ldquo;That&rsquo;s well above the percentage increases reported in the latest prime forecast report,&quot; Rees suggested.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6012 project_image_fid=84195]

Rees attributes&nbsp;Opera&nbsp;Residence&rsquo;s success to its exceptional location opposite the Sydney Harbour Bridge and next to the&nbsp;Opera&nbsp;House, as well as its stunning architecture, interiors and panoramic vistas.

&ldquo;The project represented a limited opportunity to buy into the Circular Quay precinct with a dress-circle view of the world&rsquo;s most beautiful harbour and a highly sought-after, iconic building that&rsquo;s tightly held by locals. That makes it a magnificent proposition, and it&rsquo;s likely to be tightly held and passed down to future generations as one of the world&rsquo;s most extraordinary addresses,&rdquo; Rees says.&nbsp; 
 
Macrolink Landream Australia recently revealed four new tenants confirmed for the retail precinct, including Japanese teppanyaki fine dining restaurant and bar OBOROZUKI, a trendy ground floor caf&eacute;, award-winning international restaurant chain, IPPUDO Ramen and upmarket Opera Ice Creamery. 
&nbsp; 
Landream have a diverse portfolio of projects across New South Wales and Victoria, with two high-end residential developments currently under construction in Victoria - The International, Brighton and Hurstmon, Malvern East. 
&nbsp; 
Opportunities remain to secure two and three bedroom residences across these two developments in premium Melbourne locations.

The latest development transforming Melbourne&rsquo;s south-eastern suburb of Malvern East is Landream&rsquo;s Hurstmon.

Boasting 39 residences in two and three-bedroom configurations, Hurstmon forms an eye-catching landmark while complementing the rich history of the suburb.

Designed by Telha Clarke, the project has a &ldquo;hidden-gem quality&rdquo; that extends into each residence and its layered textures, according to architect Tim Clarke.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807 project_image_fid=84185]

One of the highlights of the project is the beautiful gardens and landscaping curated by Eckersley Garden Architecture (E-GA).

Urban recently sat down with E-GA&rsquo;s Scott Leung and Eleanor Cook to discuss the luxury development.

MK: How many multi-residential projects have Eckersley Garden Architecture been contracted on within Victoria?

SL+EC: E-GA are currently contracted to 28 mutli-resi developments around the inner suburbs of Melbourne, including South Yarra, Malvern, Malvern East, Hawthorn, Kew and Toorak.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807 project_image_fid=84190]

MK: What spoke to you about Hurstmon in particular?

SL+EC: Locality in a very leafy suburb of Malvern and the proximity to the parklands

MK: What was the design brief for the project&#39;s landscaping?

SL+EC: Malvern is very well known for its green gardens, so the brief was one of symbiosis with the architecture and the neighbourhood. Keep it purely gardenesque, understated and relaxing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807 project_image_fid=84184]

MK: Where did you take your inspiration from?

SL+EC: Inspiration definitely comes from nature, so we do our best to represent nature in the gardens we design translated to an urban context for this project.

MK: How did you synthesise the development with the existing landscaping and greenery in the surrounding streets of Malvern East?

SL+EC: The key to making a project feel as though it was always part of the street fabric is to take note of the neighbourhood plant species. This way you can see what works as well as introduce some of these plants or similar species into the new landscape and stitching the street together.

Nothing better than borrowed landscape to enhance a garden.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807 project_image_fid=84191]

MK: What was the biggest challenge during the design process?

SL+EC: As always there is a variety challenges with multi-residential projects however the one that stands out is the working of plant species across many levels and aspects.

At least it enables greater plant selection and diversity which is a big plus.

MK: How important is the choice of plants in a project such as this?

SL+EC: Plant selection is a majority priority for the success of the garden. Aspect will determine choice to ensure the plants longevity and tolerances. Nothing more fulfilling than seeing a garden thrive in all conditions

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807 project_image_fid=84192]

MK: What have you tried to do in the design that the average homebuyer may not notice straight away?

SL+EC:&nbsp;Planting combinations in a garden may seems natural but it takes a lot of knowledge on how a plant develops over time as well as how the layers form.

If this is done correctly a new owner can enjoy the experience the growth of the garden, even take ownership, much like a new developing child throughout the seasons.

Eckersley Garden Architecture shares inspiration behind the design of Hurstmon's garden areas

The luxury builder VCON have won the $50 million construction contract of The International, the luxury Brighton apartment project being developed in a joint venture between&nbsp;Landream and V-Leader.&nbsp;

But the construction contract has come with a caveat.

The $120 million project of 58&nbsp;apartments, designed by architecture and interior design firm Carr on the popular Bay Street, will only be built by trades and contractors from the local area, in a bid to stimulate employment in the Victorian employment sector.

Construction, which will begin this month, is set to generate over 500 local jobs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=26389]

Mitch Crawford, senior development manager at Landream, said it was important that an opulent project like The International negate the offshore procurement process, and rather, prioritise local craftsmanship.

&ldquo;This hyper-local approach to the construction delivery was one of the crucial factors that also gave MaxCap, who are providing the loan facility to fund the project&rsquo;s construction, great confidence to back the project,&quot; Crawford said.

&ldquo;The mandate to work exclusively with Australian trades and contractors was met with great enthusiasm by VCON who have worked closely with our design team at Carr in the past.&quot;

The design inspiration for The International came from the luxury Mornington Peninsula hotel Jackalope, also designed by Carr. The wine rooms in particular have been&nbsp;modelled on the vaults seen at Jackalope.

Rob Morton, director at VCON, said the tender process run by Landream and V-Leader for The International was one of the more involved he had participated in.

&ldquo;Landream, V-Leader and VCON together spent eight full weeks meeting and negotiating with key trades and fabricators, to ensure that innovation, attention to detail and quality were values that drive every team that will be contributing to the delivery of The International &ndash; from window detailing to joinery. That level of consideration positions this project to be faultless in its construction.&rdquo;

Two bedroom apartments at The International start from $1,315,000, with three bedrooms priced from $3.24 million.

Hurstmon is the latest offering from Landream, transforming Melbourne’s south-eastern suburb of Malvern East.

Situated at 3 Hurstmon Street, the residences form an eye-catching landmark while complementing the rich history of the suburb.

Designed by Telha Clarke, each residence includes double-glazing, ducted heating and a butler’s pantry, with floorplans responsive to changes and requests from homebuyers.

Handcrafted lighting by Richmond-based studio Articolo also features in the project’s foyer.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807]

Hurstmon has a “hidden-gem quality”, according to architect Tim Clarke – a quality that extends into each residence and its layered textures.

Residents looking to secure a home in the development can choose from two design schemes curated by the architects.

The two colour schemes, green and grey, add to the palette of earthy tones that complement the home’s location. 1. Slate Green

<a href="/buildings/hurstmon-3-hurstmon-street-malvern-east"><img alt="" height="1371" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/hurstmon-3-hurstmon-street-malvern-east-ad6b8aa3d1c09a1fafefeaf5da8bf84b_1.jpg" width="1920"></a>

Adding to the palette of earthy tones, slate green joinery that distinguishes the kitchen harmonises with the interior’s walnut timber flooring, natural stone and brushed nickel accents.

“The timber floorboards are a really warm, rich, tactile tone”, Telha Clarke associate Harriet Fell said.

Mirroring the verdant streetscape of Malvern East, the green accents convey a natural presence and reference the landscaping on the building’s exterior to seamlessly connect the interior with the outdoors. 2. Soft Grey

<a href="/buildings/hurstmon-3-hurstmon-street-malvern-east"><img alt="" height="1371" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/hurstmon-3-hurstmon-street-malvern-east-efd35cc74e89620da64b41b4e3bdbc17.jpg" width="1920"></a>

Meshing with the light-coloured walls of the home and the natural stone splashback and benchtops, the soft grey palette delivers residents a blank canvas to make their own.

This design scheme complements the rammed earth materials of the home’s distinctive vertical blades.

These columns are integrated into the structure of the building and double as an eye-catching aesthetic element, bringing warmth to the building.

Architect Stuart Telha said the many colours of the rammed earth give a distinctive tonal variation to the exterior.

“It depends on what the light’s doing – sometimes they look quite orange and sometimes they look grey,” he said.

Bordered by a commercial building on one side and two-storey brick homes to the other, Hurstmon delivers a restrained design to transition the two with minimal features but warm textures.

 Two-bedroom apartments in the project start from $795,000 while three-bedroom apartments begin at $1,599,500.

The project is estimated for completion in early 2022. Hopeful buyers can secure floorplans and information from an agent today.

Design brief: Design scheme options for Hurstmon, Malvern East apartment buyers

<html><body>
Hurstmon is Landream’s latest offering in Melbourne's south-east, delivering a sense of privacy, seclusion and retreat.

The home’s strong architectural language delivers something unique to Malvern East while still blending into the locale to create a harmonious living space.

“We chose Hurstmon because it appeared like a high-quality project in a great suburb that suited our requirements”, said buyers Michelle and Pete, who purchased an off-the-plan apartment in the development.

To help see if this Malvern East residence is right for you, Urban reveals the top five things to love about Hurstmon. 
 

1. Its prime location in Malvern East

Hurstmon delivers the lifestyle needs of its residents with Malvern East’s abundance of amenities. Established parks, transport options, bicycle paths and creative cafes are on your doorstep.

Although the Melbourne CBD is just 15-kilometres from the city, the development connects residents to some of Melbourne’s most beautiful parks and historic gardens. 
 

2. Spacious one, two and three-bedroom apartments

<a href="/buildings/hurstmon-3-hurstmon-street-malvern-east"><img alt="" height="1201" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/hurstmon-3-hurstmon-street-malvern-east-68311a81c412540e4d376af6a6237d63.jpg" width="1920"></a>

Designed by Telha Clarke, each two or three-bedroom residence represents the best of lifestyle, contemporary architecture, earthy tones, premium materials and respect for the area’s deep history, with its expansive proportions working to promote light and air flow.

“The generous proportions of these homes have allowed for us to really let the volume speak for themselves”, said Telha Clarke associate Harriet Fell. 
 

3. The architectural façade

Hurstmon has a “hidden-gem quality”, according to architect Tim Clarke. Popping out like an oasis, the project offers a level of class that has never been seen before in Malvern East, with floor-to-ceiling windows and contemporary design.

“We love the unique façade of Hurstmon and the floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows throughout the property and our apartment”, said buyers Michelle and Pete. 
 

4. Contemporary-styled interiors

<a href="/buildings/hurstmon-3-hurstmon-street-malvern-east"><img alt="" height="1371" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/hurstmon-3-hurstmon-street-malvern-east-ad6b8aa3d1c09a1fafefeaf5da8bf84b_0.jpg" width="1920"></a>

The Telha Clarke-designed interiors offer two colour schemes, in grey or green. Walnut timber joinery, pale timber floorboards and stone kitchen benchtops are among the home’s premium finishes.

Each residence includes a double-glazing, ducted heating and a butler’s pantry, with floorplans responsive to changes and requests by homebuyers. 
 

5. Landscaping by Eckersley Garden Architecture

Positioned on a tree-lined street, Eckersley Garden Architecture uses the gardens to highlight Hurstmon’s vertical form, while utilising green spaces to mirror the streetscape and blend into the fabric of Malvern East.

Ground-floor residences enjoy manicured courtyards and extended outdoor space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807]

Two-bedroom apartments in the project start from $795,000 while three-bedroom apartments begin at $1,599,500.

Landream & V-Leader obtain approval for exclusive five-storey development in Brighton

<html><body>
It's the stuff of roosters and feather dusters over the course of the last week. While the western end of Melbourne's CBD will be graced by a building unlike any other in Melbourne, Spring Street is set to receive a tower at the opposite end of the design scale.

As has been widely reported a new $300 million tower designed by international architecture firm Zaha Hadid Architects has been given final approval by the Victorian Government. Expected within developer Landream's 54 level tower, which weighs in at 176 metres, are 420 dwellings and in excess of 10,000sqm of office and retail space.

Designed in conjunction with Plus Architecture, the base of the tower at 582-606 Collins Street will also include ground floor art space, a public plaza to Collins Street and a new pedestrian link and a publicly accessible terrace.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/image49_3.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="582-606 Collins Street.

Image: Zaha Hadid Architects" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>582-606 Collins Street. Image: Zaha Hadid Architects</figcaption></figure><blockquote>
This stand-out design will enhance the city’s skyline, deliver jobs during construction and additional housing for people wanting to live in the CBD.

The late Zaha Hadid has been described as an a starchitect, Melbourne will now have a piece of her artistic flare and I look forward to seeing it come together and provide new public space in the city.
<cite>Jill Hennessy, Acting Minister for Planning</cite>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
Working in close collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects, Plus Architecture is deeply privileged to be a part of the team bringing Dame Zaha Hadid’s inspiring design to the Melbourne skyline with the project set to be a monumental part of our city’s urban fabric and architectural narrative.
<cite>Jess Liew, Director, Plus Architecture (local architects on record)</cite>
</blockquote>

To 85 Spring Street now where revised images of Grocon's intended apartment development have appeared over online sales portals.

After much wrangling between the development team and the State planning department, a <a href="http://architectureau.com/articles/grocons-denton-corker-marshall-designed-tower-approved/">revised scheme of considerable design merit won approval during 2015</a> . Fast forward and gone is Denton Corker Marshall's design of note, replaced with a pared-down 39 level edifice.

The current version, seen below right, loses much of its architectural expression and appears externally to be little more than a generic design that smacks of value management.

Unfortunately, it also happens to be in a premier CBD location.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/image45_3.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="85 Spring Street, old and new.

<figcaption>85 Spring Street, old and new. Images: ArchitectureAU &amp; realestate.com.au</figcaption></figure>And finally to a design spotted on Apartments.com.au's forum this week of a concept as seen below for Landream by Zaha Hadid Architects once more.

Apartments.com.au covered the story one year ago regarding Landream approaching CASA to initiate discussion on a <a href="/news/260-la-trobe-shapes-as-melbournes-next-big-tower">possible tower for 254-260 La Trobe Street</a>. The tower which was tall enough to challenge the PANS-OPS ceiling would have been of a similar height to the adjoining Aurora Melbourne Central that is now under construction.

The spectacular design that would now not adhere to the interim and soon permanent planning controls, may well be consigned to the history books.

Nonetheless a truly impressive design.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/image42zh.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Zaha Hadid Architects' take on 260 La Trobe Street."><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="538" src="/sites/urban.melbourne/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/image42zh.jpg?itok=Y_CaZ0Ar" title="Zaha Hadid Architects' take on 260 La Trobe Street." width="580"></a>

Momentous designs, both gained and lost in the space of a week

<html><body>
The jungle drums are beating for Melbourne's next big development with word that 254-260 La Trobe Street is subject to a tower that if approved will rival its neighbour, <a href="/buildings/aurora-melbourne-central-224-la-trobe-street-melbourne">Aurora Melbourne Central</a> for size. The height of the intended development, which approaches the PANS-OPS ceiling for this section of the CBD has seen the proposal referred to aviation authorities for input.

This is somewhat unusual as the application for the tower has not appeared on the State planning register as yet, which is usually the first port of call. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) will instead initially make a call on the project which would see two tower cranes utilised during its construction breach the PANS-OPS barrier for an extended period of time. Post a consultation period the project is expected to move through standard planning channels.

CBD-based Landream are understood to be behind the project, which would add to their portfolio which also sees apartment projects in <a href="/buildings/northcote-hill-1a-campbell-grove-northcote">Northcote</a>, <a href="/buildings/carrington-109-carrington-road-box-hill">Box Hill</a> and further east along La Trobe Street, namely <a href="/new-apartments/the-trillium-36-la-trobe-street-melbourne">Trillium</a>. Currently under construction, Trillium's head contractor Built is also involved in the early planning for 254-260 La Trobe Street, having aided in construction feasibility and the placement of the all important tower cranes as seen below.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/location.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Tower crane positioning for the intended development"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="383" src="/sites/urban.melbourne/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/location.jpg?itok=dNCBrz5u" title="Tower crane positioning for the intended development" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Tower crane positioning for the intended development</figcaption></figure>Incidentally a post on Apartments.com.au's forum has linked to an <a href="/news/3l-alliance-pushes-for-twin-246-metre-towers-at-350-queen-street">online document portfolio</a> for a project dubbed Skyline Melbourne located at 254-260 La Trobe Street, which looks to be a concept created within University of Melbourne's design studio on behalf of Landream.

Irrespective of the design's purpose, the 83 level mixed-use concept does provide a fair indication as to what can be expected onsite once an official planning application is lodged.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/c139e915b0e1f829d18e6708384aa3fc.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Skyline Melbourne.

Image courtesy Studio 11" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Skyline Melbourne. Image courtesy Studio 11</figcaption></figure>If and when 254-260 La Trobe Street does eventuate it will sit alongside Aurora Melbourne Central which is currently due to see its site demolition works commence, prior to Probuild undertaking construction works. Located at 224-252 La Trobe Street, Aurora weights in at 267 metres above ground and will carry in excess of 1,000 habitable dwellings split between private apartments and serviced apartments.

Only last week Apartments.com.au covered plans for <a href="/news/3l-alliance-pushes-for-twin-246-metre-towers-at-350-queen-street">dual 246 metre towers</a> further west along La Trobe Street for developer 3L Alliance. Coupled with Aurora and 254-260 La Trobe Street, this quartet of towers has the ability to radically alter the skyline in this section of Melbourne's CBD which has for so long been dominated by the lone presence of Melbourne Central.
