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

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

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

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

A collection of just 25 large-format apartments and penthouses overlooking Goodwin Park is entering the Coolangatta market, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marea-residences-coolangatta-27-27a-dixon-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Maréa Residences</a> combining a low-density, residential-only approach with uninterrupted park and Pacific Ocean outlooks.

Located at 27 Dixon Street, Maréa comprises three and four-bedroom residences alongside a limited number of dual-level penthouses, with the project positioned between Goodwin Park and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>’s coastal precinct.

Construction has commenced, with completion currently estimated for late 2027. Three-bedroom residences are priced from $1.8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374005]

The project has been designed around its northern outlook across the park, with the building’s architecture, landscaping and material palette intended to establish a connection with the neighbouring green space. The residences have been configured to maximise natural light and views across Goodwin Park towards the ocean.

Inside, the material palette incorporates timber, stone and brushed brass, complemented by curved detailing and ambient lighting. Kitchens and bathrooms carry the same natural material approach, while residences also include basement parking, storage and lift access.

Maréa’s penthouses are arranged over two levels and include private pools, adding another layer to the project’s focus on larger-format apartment living. Across the development, residences are configured with three or four bedrooms rather than the broader mix of smaller apartment types commonly found in larger projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374010]

Resident amenity is concentrated at rooftop level, where landscaped entertaining terraces and pools take advantage of elevated views across Coolangatta and the Pacific Ocean.

The project has so far been particularly well received by local owner-occupiers and downsizers, according to Urban Activation Property Sales and Marketing Director Matt George, with the residential-only format, construction quality and northern park outlook among the features resonating with purchasers.

“The uninterrupted northern aspect overlooking Goodwin Park has been a key point of difference, with buyers attracted to the sense of serenity and open space the park provides, while still enjoying easy access to the ocean and being within walking distance of the lifestyle and amenities Coolangatta has to offer,” George said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374002]

“The combination of high-quality construction, a residential-only building, park outlook and proximity to the beach has resonated strongly with the local downsizer market.”

The Dixon Street address is within walking distance of Coolangatta Beach and the broader southern Gold Coast coastline, including the surf breaks at Snapper Rocks and Kirra. Coolangatta’s cafés, restaurants and retail are nearby, while Gold Coast Airport is also within close proximity.

Maréa Residences brings parkside apartments to Coolangatta

Melbourne developer PDG has secured Victorian Government approval for its $1.5 billion Southbank development <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-1-queens-bridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The One</a>, clearing the way for the long-dormant riverfront site opposite Crown to finally be developed.

The Minister for Planning has approved the project at 1-29 Queens Bridge Street, with the Department of Transport and Planning issuing the planning permit following its assessment.

The approval will allow PDG to develop the prominent 5,059 sqm site with a major mixed-use tower comprising premium apartments, including branded residences, a luxury hotel and boutique office space.

PDG acquired the site in late 2024, with its position directly opposite Crown's main entrance and near Melbourne's Arts Precinct making it one of Southbank's most significant remaining development opportunities.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3933013e-6332-4386-b9be-089df05caf17" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sITIgBqDL0N3VNSMwWEmF5UA.uvcsRyu" />

Designed by COX in collaboration with ODO and PDG, the tower's architecture draws on the movement of the Yarra River, with six vertical pleats running the height of the sculpted facade.

The project will also see the heritage-listed Queens Bridge Hotel restored and incorporated into the development&nbsp;with new hospitality and public uses, including a rooftop venue.

A significant component of The One will be its residential amenity.

More than 5,000 sqm of resident facilities will be delivered across a single level, making it one of the largest consolidated residential amenity offerings proposed in an Australian apartment development.

The planning approval also incorporates a major upgrade of Queensbridge Square, which PDG will deliver in partnership with the City of Melbourne.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="73167fcd-1031-4b6f-a408-a064cfe45ed1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.17%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Pf1AEWxw6SNmBqR0zQW5lyEze.MtxgFp" />

The existing square will be revitalised as a new civic and pedestrian space along the Yarra River, strengthening the connection between the project, Southbank and the riverfront.

PDG Founder and Managing Director Vince Giuliano said the approval represented a major milestone for a site which has remained largely underutilised for more than 15 years.

“This is the most significant Planning Permit approval Melbourne has seen in recent years,” Giuliano said.

“For more than 15 years, this site has remained underutilised. This approval enables us to deliver a project that will contribute meaningfully to the revitalisation of Southbank, restore and reactivate an important heritage building, and create a new civic and hospitality destination for Melbourne.”

The latest approval follows an earlier planning permit issued by the City of Melbourne covering demolition works across part of the site at 9-29 Queens Bridge Street. Those demolition and early works are already underway.

PDG has also started generating early interest in the residential component from owner-occupiers ahead of a planned public launch in early 2027.

PDG secures approval for $1.5bn Southbank apartment development, The One

Local developer Harridan is seeking to turn its Woolloongabba apartment project into the first stage of a broader transformation of Burke Street, using a new 16-storey mixed-use building to establish a greener pedestrian connection toward the rapidly evolving Boggo Road transport and knowledge precinct.

The South East Queensland developer has filed plans for 154 apartments on the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/4-burke-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">southern side of Burke Street</a>, where its proposal has been designed alongside a wider vision by LatStudios for the street.

That vision positions the southern side of Burke Street for buildings of 15 storeys and above, while envisaging lower-rise development of up to five storeys on the northern side to transition into Woolloongabba's existing character housing. It also proposes wider pedestrian verges, deep planting, new street trees and upgrades to the pedestrian approach to Boggo Road Station.

The Harridan development itself has been designed by Brisbane-based Arqus Design and will comprise 154 apartments across 16 storeys. The mix is weighted heavily toward two-bedroom apartments, with 121 proposed alongside 10 one-bedroom and 23 three-bedroom residences. There will typically be around 14 units per floor.

A lower-ground car park and three podium levels will accommodate 156 resident parking spaces, along with visitor and commercial parking. There will also be 154 resident bicycle spaces and 40 visitor bicycle parks.

&nbsp;

Harridan is a family-owned developer and part of the Holmwood Highgate Group, with more than three decades of development activity across South East Queensland. Its portfolio spans residential, commercial and industrial property, with current residential projects including Riverbank on Byron in Bulimba, Esperance Residences in Carina and The Precinct at Kinross Road in Thornlands.

Wooloongabba has been popular for apartment developers, particularly since the announcement of the 2032 Summer Olympics games in Brisbane.

While there have been a lot of development applications, it has failed to materialize into real supply.&nbsp;

Sarazin has been the major player in the area. They are under construction at Murcia Residences, on the fringe of East Brisbane and Woolloongabba. They have just launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-stanley-residences-woolloongabba-8-trafalgar-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">The Stanley Residences</a>, in Woolloongabba on Trafalagar Street. They also have Nuage coming soon on the nearby <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba-qld-4102">Wellington Road</a>.

Mirvac has revealed plans for its third and final exclusive apartment building within its highly sought-after Tullamore community in Melbourne&rsquo;s eastern suburbs.

Named FORME, the latest release provides homebuyers with the rare opportunity to join the prestigious Apartments of Tullamore precinct.&nbsp;

Nestled within the tranquil former 47-hectare Eastern Golf Course in Doncaster, FORME will feature an exclusive collection of approximately 90 luxurious residences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100322 project_image_fid=163036]

Mirvac head of residential, Stuart Penklis, says that FORME is an evolution of Apartments of Tullamore&rsquo;s successful apartment buildings, Phoenix and Folia.

&ldquo;The Apartments of Tullamore buildings have achieved strong sales with notable interest from owner occupiers looking to downsize from larger family homes, attracted to flexible living opportunities in established locations in Melbourne&rsquo;s middle ring&rdquo;, he said. &nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100322 project_image_fid=163038]&nbsp;

According to Penklis, FORME&rsquo;s limited-edition collection places a stronger emphasis on third spaces to meet the growing demand for buildings that foster social connectivity and a healthy, active lifestyle.

FORME features generous floorplans, with apartments spanning seven levels and ranging from 51 square metres to 179 square metres in size.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100322 project_image_fid=163026]

Designed by Mirvac&rsquo;s in-house design team, the residences are available in one, two, three and four-bedroom configurations.

Apartments will be available in two luxury colour schemes, with wool blend carpets, timber look joinery, brushed nickel tapware, reconstituted stone benchtops, Villeroy and Boch sanitaryware and Miele appliances.

FORME features a striking double-height entrance and adjoining exclusive residents&rsquo; lounge, featuring a large fireplace and grand private dining area that can be used by residents for intimate gatherings or relaxation.

Inspired by the beauty of the established leafy natural surrounds, landscape architect Paul Bangay has curated the project&rsquo;s sculptured gardens.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100322 project_image_fid=163030]

Featuring a lush nature reserve and heritage trees, more than 20 per cent of Tullamore is devoted to green open spaces, including pocket parks, adventure playgrounds, undercover barbeque and picnic areas.

Future FORME residents&nbsp;will also have access to the Stables Provedore Caf&eacute;, as well as the multi-million-dollar Next Gen Health &amp; Lifestyle Club, complete with indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, restaurant dining, a private spa and creche facilities.

Perth has been lauded by industry experts as a strong market to invest in with booming conditions and strong demand.

Perth values are up 6.7 per cent over the year, according to the CoreLogic national home value index for April.

This is higher than the combined capital&#39;s average, which is up 6.4 per cent.

Perth auction clearance rates sat at an impressive 92.3 per cent last week when compared to 37.5 per cent at this time last year, reflecting the strong demand which looks like it may swamp market supply.

Local developer Pierce Property have appointed the award-winning construction company Dymanic Projects to build their $14 million luxury development Riserva in Sydney's Cammeray.

Dynamic, established in 2009, have won a number of Master Builders awards and have built boutique developments before in the nearby Neutral Bay and Mosman, as well as building the Westfield in Canberra's Belconnen.

They'll start construction on the boutique development of 18 apartments designed by DKO on Sydney's lower north shore soon, with completion slated for late 2022.

Already half of the Riserva apartments have been snapped up by owner-occupiers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13951]

Pierce Property director Andrew Zhao said Dynamic Projects has an excellent reputation and a solid track record having delivered several similar boutique, high-end developments to an exceptional standard.

"The company’s workmanship is remarkable which aligns with our principles at Pierce Property in striving to deliver an unmatched quality for our buyers,” Mr Zhao said.

Ray White Projects managing director Eddie Mansour said Riserva Cammeray offers an exclusivity highly sought after in this part of Sydney’s prestigious lower north shore.

“With construction soon to be underway, buyers can plan to move in to their immaculate new homes by late 2022,” he said.

“Riserva Cammeray is the ultimate downsizer or empty-nester opportunity where lifestyle is really at the top of mind – a highly private and exclusive address, with sweeping views of Middle Harbour and tree top canopies – all within six kilometres to the Sydney CBD.”

The five level development has just a handful of two and three bedroom apartments remaining. Two bedders start from $1.6 million, while three bedrooms start from $2.29 million.

One of Australia's premier municipalities, the City of Stonnington comprises Melbourne's inner-south-eastern suburbs. 

Known for its leafy streets and good schools, the region also has beautiful new properties entering the market for luxury buyers. 

Stonnington suburbs have a long history of outperforming the average capital growth in Melbourne, according to Michael Yardney.

Urban takes a look at three luxury properties with three-bedrooms for families, downsizers and investors.

1. Hurstmon, Malvern East 
Address: 3 Hurstmon Street, Malvern East VIC 3145 
Three-bedroom apartments from $1,599,500

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807]

Delivered by Landream, Hurstmon boasts 39 residences in two and three-bedroom configurations in Malvern East.

The development, designed by Telha Clarke, delivers a restrained design to transition between the commercial building and two-storey brick homes that border it.

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.

2. 661 Chapel Street, South Yarra 
Address: 661 Chapel Street, South Yarra VIC 3141 
Three-bedroom apartments from $1,841,000

[smartcode_project:default project_id=600]

Located just three-kilometres south-east of the Melbourne CBD, 661 <a href="/buildings/661-chapel-street-661-chapel-street-south-yarra">Chapel Street</a> provides investors with great opportunities to capitalise on high-income professionals who are renting in Melbourne.

Among its 116 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, the development features extensive hotel-inspired resident amenity.

A four-level private lobby, 25-metre pool, grand library and winter garden are among the numerous features available to residents.

The project is delivered by Gamuda Land and designed by local architecture firm Bird de le Coeur.

Three luxury three-bedroom residences on the market in Melbourne’s Stonnington

The luxury apartment sector has been the final piece to fall back in to place following the COVID-19 pandemic effect on real estate.

That's the view of Kay &amp; Burton director of special projects Damon Krongold, who said the whole luxury apartment sector shut down.

"Everything went on hold", Krongold said, particularly the downsizer demographic.

"That demographic froze in situ and it has been the last area of the property market to come back," Krongold added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4508]

However the market is now back, with the increased momentum for transactions in existing homes starting to filter through to the luxury apartment sector once more.

Krongold says there's been a genuine spike in recent weeks for products such as Heyington, the luxury Sterling Capital developed boutique apartment project in the heart of Toorak.

<a href="/buildings/heyington-63-heyington-place-toorak"><img alt="" height="779" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/heyington_3.jpg" width="1265"></a>

Heyington, designed by Carr Architecture in collaboration with landscape architecture firm Acre, has just 12 apartments, each having three bedrooms. Over 50 per cent of apartments have now sold in the block.

Krongold advises it's been the natural trend of those selling, with locals and the immediate surrounding areas the most keen on the project.

"They're selling out their larger homes which have high maintenance and gardens and are wanting a turn-key solution and lifestyle," Krongold says.

He suggests the pull of Heyington's location has been a drawcard, with that demographic keen on being closer to amenities such as Toorak village and near the Monash freeway to get out of town to go beachside and head down to the Peninsula.

Heyington apartments, featuring genuine stone, start from $3,295,000.

The two ground floor apartments feature large outdoor planted gardens, spanning 115 sqm and 189 sqm, larger than most gardens in metropolitan Melbourne houses.

<a href="/buildings/heyington-63-heyington-place-toorak"><img alt="" height="736" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/heyington_1.jpg" width="1200"></a>

Apartment 103 features over 240 sqm of outdoor terraces, both hard-paved and landscaped, with its own swimming pool. That's priced at $4,851,000.

Construction is slated for completion around four to six weeks sooner than expected despite the COVID-19 interruptions, with residents expected to move in in late 2021.

"Everything went on hold", Krongold said, particularly the downsizer demographic.

Local Melbourne-based developer, Samuel Property, is watching the final coat of paint dry on their recently completed Toorak project, Edition.

With the exclusive offering of just three home-like residences on the dress circle of Lansell Road, the distinctly individual building has all the hallmarks of a high-end, stand-alone residence.

Architecture and interiors are both by renowned local studio, Cera Stribley, with landscaping by Australia’s premier landscaper Jack Merlo. Flux, the boutique luxury construction arm of the more well-known builder Figurehead, were appointed as head building contractor for the high-end project.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13991]

Residence one, known as ‘The Arc Residence’, draws inspiration from the winding banks of the nearby Yarra River, with its curved entrance and corridor walls. The Arc Residence comprises three bedrooms, three bathrooms and secure garage parking for two cars.

Residence number two has been dubbed ‘The Botanic Residence’ for its lush wrap around courtyard. Spanning two levels, it offers open living areas and large outdoor zones that have been designed as an extension of the residence’s liveable space. There are four bedrooms, four bathrooms, garage parking for four cars and a striking 6.5m ceiling void over the dining area.

Samuel Property’s development manager, Romy Jackson, says “We believe the offering is completely unique for the area, and couldn’t be happier with the quality of the finished product. The sense of privacy, grandeur and sheer proportions at Edition are rarely seen in typical apartment formats – and we’ve received some really encouraging feedback thus far from those lucky enough to walk through prior to launch.”

Valentine’s Day: 8 luxury apartments with the most inviting bedrooms

<html><body>
The former chief executive of Ferrari Australasia, Herbert Appleroth has listed his Rose Bay harbourfront garden apartment.

It goes to auction next February with $13 million hopes, a record for the suburb which has seen fresh records paid during 2020.

Appleroth paid $7.58 million off the plan for the three-bedroom garden apartment in the Bord De L’eau development in 2016.

He settled on the 218sqm unit in mid-2019, about six months before he departed Ferrari. 

The triplex apartment was designed by architects MHN Design Union. 

Appleroth, an heir to the Aeroplane Jelly fortune, then sought a bespoke design from interior designers Jo Lawless and Darren Palmer.

It is fully automated, with American oak floors.

It comes with Bang &amp; Olufsen sound system.

It comes with Vitroesa Italian sliders to its private garden designed by Will Dangar.

<img alt="" height="1469" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/appleroth_rose_bay_2.jpg" width="2000">

There’s also a marble kitchen with a New York-style bar.

It is being marketed as house-like by LJ Hooker Avnu agent Michael Coombs.

Another New South Head Road apartment offering in the nearby a penthouse in the nearby Wintergarden block sold for $11.25 million after it last traded for $7.5 million in 2016.

An inland Rose Bay penthouse apartment recently fetched $7.5 million in an off the plan sale through Ray White agents who secured a record $39,000 per sqm at 1 Carlisle by Fortis. 

Appleroth now manages venture capital fund The Appleroth Future Fund.

His previous abode was on Pyrmont Wharf, which sold for a then-suburb record $13.3 million in 2017.

Appleroth reportedly plans to buy on lower north shore and a second home in Palm Beach.
