Around 400 additional homes could be built at Southwark Grounds on Port Road, lifting total site capacity from 1300 to around 1700 dwellings.

A recently approved code amendment would allow apartment towers of up to 14 storeys in some areas of Renewal SA’s redevelopment of the former West End Brewery.

Renewal SA Acting Chief Executive Shane Wingard said he welcomed the code amendment, with the increase in heights and homes making a positive impact on the supply of high-quality, well-connected housing close to the city.

“By going higher across some parts of Southwark Grounds, we are adding a substantial number of very well-located homes with little impact on project delivery time or planned open space,” Mr Wingard said.

Since the project officially launched in 2025, Mr Wingard said more than 12,000 enquiries had been received about living at Southwark Grounds.

“The very strong early interest we’ve seen since homes were first released in the precinct reinforces our plans to create more housing opportunities,” he said.

The Southwark Grounds code amendment was launched in December last year, with community engagement undertaken over five weeks from January.

It proposed increasing maximum building heights from eight to 14 storeys on the eastern section of Southwark Grounds, and to 12 storeys across the remainder of the site, with minimum building heights ranging from two to four storeys.

The code amendment was implemented through an Early Commencement policy in late January, allowing developers to quickly explore the viability of increased height and housing yield while other planning processes continue.

One of the first developers delivering apartment sites have already finalised redesigns to increase the number of apartments following the code amendment.

Samaras’ development adjacent to the future Colonel Light Park is now planning to deliver 125 apartments across 11 storeys, significantly greater than original plans of around 50 apartments across four storeys.

The developer is also exploring the potential for additional affordable housing outcomes.

Most of the apartments at Southwark Grounds will be delivered within a master-planned precinct on a large parcel of land on the eastern portion of the site, covering around two-thirds of its 8.4 hectares.

Wingard said detailed precinct planning over the coming months may identify further opportunities to increase yield further that could see total apartment numbers at Southwark Grounds, exceed this number.

Affordable homes at Southwark Grounds will also see a net increase, with Renewal SA maintaining its commitment to a minimum of 20 per cent affordable housing across the development.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Civil works have begun across the site, with construction under way on the first new roads surrounding a townhouse precinct in the south‑west corner of Southwark Grounds. This includes Renewal SA’s 17 Founder’s Row homes, which are on track for completion by Christmas.

“We expect to have people living at Southwark Grounds by the end of the year, so delivering roads and public spaces for those residents is among our highest priorities.”

Construction of 40 townhouses off Anderson Street, known as West Village and being delivered by Contour, is forecast to begin in mid‑2026. Kolabb’s Anderson Lane development will follow shortly after, delivering a further 26 townhouses.

Southwark Grounds is a state government‑led urban renewal project now set to deliver around 1,700 homes over the next decade.

Homes will be supported by a supermarket, a range of retail and hospitality offerings anchored by a revitalised Walkerville Brew Tower, a childcare centre, car parking and well‑connected public spaces.

400 new homes planned for Adelaide's former West End Brewery site

Brisbane developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/cavcorp">Cavcorp</a> has lodged plans for a new mixed-use residential development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/55-wyandra-street-teneriffe-qld-4005">55 Wyandra Street</a>, Teneriffe, anchored by an 85-metre public laneway designed to reconnect the suburb’s riverfront with the Gasworks precinct.

The buildings, known as Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane, would replace the existing Queensland Cotton head office site with a 15-storey residential tower transitioning to eight storeys toward Helen Street. The project has been designed by Plazibat Architects and lodged as a code assessable development application for 93 apartments across a 3,401 sqm mixed-use site within the Newstead and Teneriffe Waterfront neighbourhood plan.

Central to the scheme is the transformation of an existing service easement into a publicly accessible cross-block connection linking Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the new laneway will act as both a pedestrian shortcut and a landscaped civic space between the Teneriffe Riverwalk, ferry terminal, and Gasworks precinct.

<img alt="First Look: Cavcorp unveils Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane plans for landmark wellness tower in Teneriffe" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="26e7f058-b065-4de8-b13d-a2b8cb64dfcc" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/bldg.png?VersionId=sELS0ZKYi361oYipUa1BIKfe_.DLZoFV" />

“The revised proposal delivers a legacy public-realm cross-block link, permanently secured for community use, transforming an existing private easement into a safe, high-quality pedestrian connection between the Teneriffe heritage riverwalk and the Gasworks–Long Island precinct,” the planning report states.

The laneway will sit beneath a large subtropical loggia integrated into the podium levels of the development. The design incorporates deep landscaping, water gardens, lobby spaces, business lounges, and ground-floor apartments to create what Cavcorp describes as a climate-responsive “urban verandah.”

The tower itself has been designed as a slender form with recessed floorplates and curved translucent corners inspired by contemporary Japanese architecture. The building height aligns with the Commercial Road precinct controls, which permit towers up to 15 storeys within proximity to Longland Street.

The project will comprise a mix of larger-format apartments aimed at owner-occupiers, downsizers, and families. The proposed apartment mix includes 11 loggia apartments across the lower levels, 50 four-bedroom Sky-Terrace apartments from levels three to seven, and 32 Sky-Pool Homes occupying the upper tower levels. The Sky-Pool Homes will feature private thermal plunge pools integrated into oversized balconies.

According to the application, the apartments are intended to reinterpret the scale and character of Teneriffe’s woolstore conversions and Queensland homes within a vertical residential format.

“The sky-pool homes build on Cavcorp’s previous projects and introduce a distinct apartment typology to Teneriffe, informed by both local and international precedent and responding to an identified market demand for enhanced safety, space and amenity,” the planning submission notes.

A major focus of the proposal is its five-level wellness and lifestyle offering, extending from the basement through to the rooftop.

Amenities proposed include a rooftop Swim &amp; Racquet Club with a 25-metre Olympic lap pool and tennis court, coworking spaces and libraries, golf simulators, wine storage, concierge facilities, business lounges, pet wash areas, and rooftop longevity-focused wellness spaces with spas, outdoor fitness zones, and landscaped terraces.

All parking will be concealed within basement levels accessed from Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the deep-basement engineering approach allows the entire ground plane to prioritise landscaping, pedestrian movement, and active frontage rather than vehicle infrastructure.

The development continues Cavcorp’s concentration in Newstead and Teneriffe, where the Brisbane developer has delivered a number of apartment projects including Lucent, Le Bain, and Luminare, as well as the Long Island Wellness Precinct nearby. Several of those projects have received national design and architecture awards, including recognition under Brisbane’s “Buildings that Breathe” program.

Focus Group Investments has lodged plans for a new apartment development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/64-70-hanover-street-fitzroy-vic-3065">64–70 Hanover Street</a> in Fitzroy, seeking to utilise the Victorian Government’s recently introduced Great Design Fast Track pathway to accelerate approvals for the project.

The proposal is among the latest developments to emerge through the state-led initiative, which was established to fast-track well-designed residential projects in activity centres and transport-connected inner-city locations. The pathway allows qualifying developments that meet elevated design and housing benchmarks to bypass traditional council planning timeframes and instead be assessed directly by the Department of Transport and Planning.

Designed by SJB, the development will comprise a mix of apartments above activated lower levels, with a strong focus on architectural articulation, landscaping, and communal amenity. The design response seeks to balance the industrial character of Richmond’s former warehouse precincts with a more contemporary residential form.

<img alt="First look: Focus Group Investments taps Victoria’s Great Design Fast Track for Richmond apartments" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="abea51cc-d85b-479e-9aef-a589f3b37ca7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/ground.png?VersionId=e1Kf8EyPWwyiVumtqQ4rM5S4GpOR3CCz" />

Proposed are 63 new dwellings, a wide ranging mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, and townhouses and duplexes. They will be spread across a part-three, part-eight storey building.

The Planning and Urban Context Report by Tract says the development is of an "exemplary architectural standard" and has been carefully crafted by SJB Architects.

"Dwellings&nbsp;will benefit from excellent access to natural light, cross-ventilation opportunities and extensive communal space," the report noted.

The architectural material highlights the project’s integration of landscaped elements and communal spaces throughout the building. The proposal also incorporates sustainability initiatives aligned with the Victorian Government’s push for higher-performing apartment developments under the fast-track program.

The Great Design Fast Track was unveiled by the Victorian Government in 2024 as part of a broader housing supply strategy aimed at accelerating the delivery of new homes. Projects assessed through the pathway must demonstrate high-quality architecture, sustainability outcomes, and housing diversity while being located close to public transport and existing infrastructure.

Focus Group, founder and led by Paul De Lutiis, is increasingly active across Melbourne’s inner suburbs, targeting well-connected urban renewal locations suited to medium and higher-density residential development. The Fitzroy proposal continues that strategy, leveraging the area’s strong transport links, established retail amenity, and proximity to the CBD.

Fitzroy has been one of the most popular spots for developers and buyers in recent years. The likes of PACE Development Group, SMA Projects, Crema Group and Chapter Group, currently selling projects in the suburb.

The Gold Coast Planning Committee has supported the preliminary approval for the Benowa Gardens Urban Village project following an extensive community consultation and assessment process.

The proposal will now proceed to a full council vote on June 2.

The application sought approval for a masterplanned urban village on the existing Benowa Gardens Shopping Centre site, combining new housing, retail, dining, health and lifestyle amenities within a walkable, integrated precinct.&nbsp;

The proposed redevelopment includes around 413 apartments integrated above a revitalised mixed-use centre featuring a full-line supermarket of 4,000 sqm, 6,000 sqm of specialty retail and dining space across around 30 retailers, a 7,000 sqm health and wellness precinct, and roughly 9,630 sqm of office and medical suites.&nbsp;

<img alt="$1b Benowa Gardens Urban Village moves to Full Council following Planning Committee support" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fb36ae47-80bc-45f0-9914-31b0c7b6007d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/PR26576%20Ashmore%20Road%20C4%201121%20FI.jpg?VersionId=6mRKk2uU4r67TmTt39DKGUlvFRbTVqWa" />

The broader masterplan also includes very significant traffic and transport improvements, wide pedestrian walkways, upgraded pedestrian and cycle connections, and enhanced public areas designed to create a more connected and walkable community environment.&nbsp;

Centre owner Patrick Lu said the milestone reflected months of detailed planning, technical assessment and ongoing communication with local residents, businesses, schools and stakeholders.

“We appreciate the time, consideration and care Council officers and the Planning Committee have given this proposal throughout the assessment process,” Lu said.

“We also sincerely thank the local community for engaging with us, sharing feedback and participating in the consultation process over many months.

“We understand projects of this scale bring questions and concerns, which is why we have worked hard to listen carefully, provide information transparently and continue refining elements of the proposal where possible.

“Our vision has always been to create a well-designed, community-focused urban village that responds to the changing needs of the Gold Coast, while delivering improved amenity, housing diversity, healthcare access and local lifestyle benefits.

“This proposal is about creating a genuine live-work-play environment where residents can access everyday services, schools, healthcare, dining, shopping and green space within walking distance, while also supporting local jobs and economic activity.”

Lu said the proposal had evolved significantly through consultation and technical review, particularly around traffic, pedestrian and student safety and neighbourhood connectivity.&nbsp;

Melissa Griffin, Director at Urbis, said the recommendation recognised the strategic importance of delivering more housing and services within established urban areas already supported by infrastructure.

“This proposal represents the type of thoughtful, integrated growth that planning frameworks across South-East Queensland are encouraging,” Ms Griffin said.

“The project seeks to place housing, retail, healthcare and employment opportunities together in a highly accessible location close to schools, transport and existing services.

“Importantly, the process has involved significant technical assessment and community engagement to ensure local issues and feedback were properly considered throughout the planning pathway.”

Surfers Paradise is officially set for its first new residential development with a 45-storey skybridge connecting the two towers.

John Camilleri’s Celestino Developments has been given the green light by the Gold Coast City Council to develop its major beachfront precinct across its huge 4,000 sqm oceanfront site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/63-79-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">63–79 Garfield Terrace</a>, just five months after its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/first-look-exclusive-billionaire-winx-breeder-s-bold-two-tower-surfers-paradise-play-with-45th-storey-skybridge">submission in late 2025</a>.

The approved scheme will deliver two towers rising 55 and 48 storeys, connected by a skybridge positioned on level 45 that will house a range of resident-only wellness and entertainment spaces.

In its notice of approval, the Gold Coast City Council said the&nbsp;proposed overall built form has been designed to complement the scale, intensity and protect the adjacent amenity and surrounding streets through the use of varied setbacks, site cover and architectural elements.

<img alt="First look exclusive: Billionaire Winx breeder’s bold two-tower Surfers Paradise play with 45th-storey skybridge" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.53.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=ADyPJ_TFbJvSU9wZFOiCBnlPtgF7VWqW" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/dbi">DBI</a>, the development will comprise 275 apartments across the two towers, including a mix of two-, three-, and four-bedroom residences, as well as several penthouses. The apartments will sit above a landscaped podium featuring more than 90 metres of beachfront pool frontage, private resident lawns, lounges, and wellness spaces.

DBI said the design draws heavily from the movement and form of the coastal environment, with curving balcony lines and sculpted façades intended to soften the scale of the towers while maximising ocean outlooks and passive shading outcomes.

“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,” DBI said in planning documents submitted to the Gold Coast City Council.

The most distinctive element of the approved project is the skybridge linking the two towers at level 45. The elevated communal space is planned to include executive lounges, formal dining areas, wellness facilities, and panoramic ocean-facing outlooks.

“The skybridge enhances the identity of the development, promotes social interaction, and delivers a lifestyle experience not found elsewhere on the Gold Coast,” DBI said.

At podium level, residents will have access to a suite of resort-style amenities, including resident lounges, private dining rooms, a yoga lawn, gymnasium, plunge pools, and treatment spaces. The beachfront pool has been designed with separate lap, lounge, and children’s areas extending across the width of the site.

The project will also introduce new food and beverage offerings along the Enderley Avenue and Oceanway frontages, contributing additional activation to the beachfront precinct.

Melbourne

St Kilda Road has long held some of Melbourne's most iconic residential buildings, going back to the early 1990s when The Domain sold out off the plan.

Now it's one of the strip's most notable buildings.

St Kilda Rd was previously lined with offices in the 1960s and 1970s, which were built after grand mansions were demolished. The conversion into residential developments started at the northern end of the long street, closer to the city.

The most sought-after spot nowadays is the small pocket directly across the road from Albert Park Lake. That's what developer Sunnyland Investment Development Group (SIDG) banked on back in 2010, when they bought the well-known Clemenger BBDO building.

For over a decade the five-level office block at 474 St Kilda Road has been an investment for SIDG. But timing the imminent departure of the Clemenger team to the refurbished David Jones menswear building in Bourke Street Mall, SIDG has revealed their plan for the 4,645 sqm site.

They've just launched&nbsp;Park Quarter, a striking, flora-laden tower designed by a trio of Melbourne's best architects and designers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134959 project_image_fid=210773]

Sunnyland has been working alongside Colliers Victoria for a number of years, putting together the plans and the sales and marketing strategy. They were almost ready to pull the trigger, before COVID hit. They hit the pause button, and waited for the right time to launch, which they believe is now.

Colliers Director Zoe Powell says Park Quarter offers a rare opportunity in one of Melbourne's best locations.

"There's not been a lot of new development on St Kilda Road in the last few years. There's limited opportunity to buy brand new, certainly in this pocket across the road from Albert Park," Powell says.

"SIDG has brought on a quartet of Melbourne's best design team to create Park Quarter, and the end result is something completely different to what St Kilda Road has seen before."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134959 project_image_fid=210783]

Cox Architecture, DKO, Carr and Paul Bangay all collaborated on the design, which was inspired by the nearby Fawkner Park. Park Quarter has a Walk Score of 88 and a Transit Score of 92. The new Metro Tunnel will further improve the Transit Score. The Anzac Station will be located on the&nbsp;St Kilda Road/Swanston Street tram corridor,&nbsp;the busiest tram corridor in the world.

Powell is already fielding enquiry from a wide buyer demographic, particularly from owner-occupiers either trading up or downsizing.

The timing of the launch has coincided with the current supply issues in Melbourne, which, in turn, is having a material impact on the rental market.

"The supply issues and rental crisis means you have two more prominent buyer camps on top of what we usually see," Powell says.

"You have investors who are eyeing stronger rental returns than they've probably ever seen, and you've got first home buyers and local renters who are speeding up their saving and purchasing timelines as they don't want to rent anymore.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134959 project_image_fid=210774]

"There are a lot of renters who live locally and will be looking at Park Quarter as their first home."

Park Quarter apartments start at $495,000 for the one-bedroom apartments, which start from a generous 66 sqm. Two-bed apartments start from $985,000 and three-bedrooms from $1,677,000.

There are 244 apartments on offer in total, which are located from levels six up to level 16. Levels 17 and 18 will home four exclusive penthouses, each with their own private rooftop terrace with a pool and spa.

The apartments will sit atop a Marriott Executive Apartment, one of the first in Australia.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134959 project_image_fid=210777]

Residents of Park Quarter can have access to all of the hotel amenity through a club membership subscription, but they'll also have their own amenity. They will have everything from a 24/7 concierge, a pool, gym, and co-working spaces, to a theatre room and a golf simulator, plus pet wash room, mud room equipped with high pressure wash machine, and smart parcel lockers.

Powell says the fact SIDG have had the site for so long is a huge tick for the project.

"SIDG bought the site when we were living in a different world," Powell says.

"The site doesn't owe them anything, so they can have a very different approach to other developers. We have a string of developers who are ready to purchase sites for their next projects, but it's a tricky time to get everything aligned, from the cost of the land to construction timelines and&nbsp;

Park Quarter launches on Melbourne's sought-after St Kilda Rd precinct

Global construction company Multiplex has reached practical completion on Central Equity’s $450 million Southbank project, Focus.

Multiplex Regional Managing Director Graham Cottam said the completion of Focus Apartments was achieved despite multiple COVID-19 lockdowns and additional challenges to construction.

“The completion of Focus Apartments is a testament to Multiplex’s resilience throughout both the 2020 and 2021 lockdowns, with only structure and façade activities continuing during this time,” Cottam said.

“We are delighted to have completed our 19th project for Central Equity, delivering yet another striking apartment tower to complement Melbourne’s skyline and the surrounding streetscape.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3260 project_image_fid=206132]

Focus joins a long list of projects the duo have collaborated with each other on, including Melbourne Grand, Southbank Grand, Southbank One and City Tempo.&nbsp;

Construction on Focus spanned nearly two years, with 382 workers on site at peak construction periods.&nbsp;

Located at 71-87 City Road, the 50-storey apartment tower soars 167 metres in the heart of Southbank’s creative precinct, adjacent to the $1.7 billion rejuvenation of the Melbourne Arts Precinct, with 591 apartments, in addition to a six-level commercial podium.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3260 project_image_fid=206129]

The glazed high-rise tower features an innovative tri-colour window wall system, with pre-fabricated aluminium slab edge covers overhanging from the facade. The modularised podium façade helps blend Focus seamlessly with the surrounding existing heritage buildings on City Road.

Multiplex used custom-built structure screens to reduce the risk of falling objects whilst façade elements were installed. This protective structure specifically assisted in the installation of prefabricated aluminium components such as the slab edge covers.

Focus also provides exclusive ‘all-in-one’ resort-style amenities, including a gym, an indoor heated pool, sauna, luxe private theatre, and an expansive resident lounge which seamlessly opens to an indoor and outdoor dining area with kitchen and barbecue facilities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3260 project_image_fid=206134]

Central Equity Chairman, Eddie Kutner said the duo worked together to ensure the tower transitioned from a building site into people’s homes.&nbsp;

“Focus provides residents with luxury, spacious living in a premium Southbank location, with over 1100 sqm of residential amenity,” Kutner said.&nbsp;

“We have welcomed many occupants to the building who are already enjoying the pre-eminent location and amenity of Focus Apartments.”

The largest private construction project to begin in Melbourne since the beginning of the pandemic has officially commenced as construction begins on Riverlee&rsquo;s Seafarers mixed-use hotel and apartment development.

This exciting milestone was marked with a groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday, attended by Lord Mayor of Melbourne, Sally Capp.

Icon Construction was appointed as the builder on the $500 million development in January.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=173914]

&ldquo;The groundbreaking ceremony is an exciting milestone for the development and we&rsquo;re looking forward to bringing this world-class destination to life&rdquo;, Icon Construction CEO Evan Byrne said.

Situated between the CBD and Docklands, Seafarers will comprise 120 luxury hotel-branded residences atop 277 guest rooms, as part of Australia&rsquo;s first 1 Hotel &amp; Homes.

Riverlee&#39;s Development Director David Lee said the&nbsp;family is proud to have reached this stage following a 10-year journey of developing our vision that truly brings together the surrounding urban fabric and steers Northbank into an exciting direction.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27728 project_image_fid=173917]

Colliers also noted the project had the highest level of enquiry over the Christmas and New Year period, and have secured&nbsp;$30 million in sales and reservations&nbsp;since October.

Limited two and three-bedroom residences remain at the development, which has been designed by Fender Katsalidis Architects.

With the retention of the heritage-listed Goods Shed No.5, Seafarers will also encompass Melbourne&rsquo;s newest 3,500 sqm public park, Seafarers Rest to provide open space to users, residents and visitors of the Northbank precinct.

Ivanhoe East is a highly sought-after pocket of Melbourne, thanks to the picturesque streets of the north-eastern suburb.

The historic streetscape blends European heritage and modern style, combining community, culture and convenience.

East Ivanhoe Village is awash with charm, a pocket of energy in the heart of the neighbourhood thanks to its shopfronts, caf&eacute;s and independent boutiques.

Melburnians seeking to enter this prestigious market need not look further than JWLand&#39;s development&nbsp;The Grounds, situated on The Boulevard.

The Grounds is an exclusive collection of three apartment buildings, Wilfred, Wamba and the Boulevard, and a limited number of townhomes at Oak Terraces.

Featuring 116 residences in two, three and four-bedroom configurations, the development is primely positioned to take advantage of the range of offerings in Ivanhoe East.

Urban takes a look at six things we love about this suburb.

1. Neighbourhood amenities

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5806 project_image_fid=168937]

From the bustling main streets to tranquil green spaces, The Grounds residents can offer all that Ivanhoe East has to offer.

&ldquo;At your doorstep, healthy outdoor spaces invite exploring, exercise and relaxing close to nature&rdquo;, JWLand&#39;s Project Marketing Manager Nick Babic says.

Nearby, Ivanhoe Park provides the ideal setting for children&rsquo;s play and weekend sports, while Ivanhoe Golf Club and Chelsworth Park are also around the corner.

Other recreational amenities that residents can enjoy include Ivanhoe Aquatic Centre, Olympic Leisure Banyule or Macleod Recreation and Fitness Centre

2. Cultural hub

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5806 project_image_fid=171476]

Forming Melbourne&rsquo;s greenest precinct, rolling lawns, parkland and native reserves bring a community together.

The area&rsquo;s treasured heritage has fuelled its modern-day appreciation of arts and culture,&nbsp;previously known as a hub for renowned Australian landscape artists.

The suburb is&nbsp;now home to the iconic Heide Museum of Modern Art, the Courthouse Museum and many independent galleries that dot the precinct.

3. Green spaces at The Grounds

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5806 project_image_fid=168936]

Within and around The Grounds, a profusion of native and exotic plantings are designed to surround the architecture with calming greenery.

Clusters of native grasses and shrubbery around the base of the buildings give the structures an appearance of floating within the natural parkland setting.

An expansive lawn encourages guests to gather and connect outdoors, while the central courtyard features inbuilt seating and space to bask in the sunshine.

4. Self-contained neighbourhood

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5806 project_image_fid=168933]

&ldquo;Ivanhoe East offers an idyllic lifestyle balance in a self-contained neighbourhood, where you&rsquo;ll walk to everything you need&rdquo;, Babic added.

The neighbourhood features a range of local caf&eacute;s to nurture the community and a diversity of eateries and fresh food providers a few minutes&rsquo; walk&nbsp;away.

Major retail hubs at Ivanhoe Shopping Centre and Heidelberg Central offer a range of retail and dining offerings.

5. Family-friendly development

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5806 project_image_fid=168932]

The affluent suburb places community at its centre, with close to half its residents established and older couples and families.

The development is largely targeted towards maturing couples and semi-retirees, mostly local who are keen to stay in the area.

&ldquo;I think people buy in because it will be a community, it won&rsquo;t be a transient place with 50 for-lease signs up all the time,&rdquo; sales agent Natasha Johnson said.

&ldquo;That&rsquo;s the main attraction &ndash; there&rsquo;ll be no investors here&rdquo;, Johnson added.

The median house price recorded in Ivanhoe East by the REIV for the September 2021 quarter was $2.18 million for homes.

This is significantly higher than the starting price for three-bedroom townhomes at The Grounds, which begin from $1.89 million.

6. Proximity to the CBD

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5806 project_image_fid=168928]

Just 9 kilometres north-east of the CBD, Ivanhoe East delivers a sophisticated, relaxed lifestyle surrounded by established parkland.

Using a network of public transport or the Eastern Freeway, making it into the city is stress-free.

The Boulevard is central to a cluster of Victoria&rsquo;s most prestigious state and independent schools including Marcellin College, Ivanhoe East Primary School, Ivanhoe Grammar and Ivanhoe Girls Grammar.

2. Elegant architecture

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109859 project_image_fid=185003]

Designed by architects Zeno Entity, the four residences display a harmonious unity of form and function, curves and angles.

The fa&ccedil;ade features feminine curves and boasts a creamy palette with refined stone cladding.

Exteriors harmonise with the entire residence, with a central lobby foyer that welcomes residents and their guests into the four homes.

The development also features an oversized lift and secure private garages.

3. Landscaped gardens and terraces

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109859 project_image_fid=185019]

John Patrick Landscape Architects has expertly crafted each residence&rsquo;s outdoor area into a private sanctuary.

The generously assigned residences are surrounded by a lush landscape in one of the city&rsquo;s most convenient locations.

Landscaped gardens and terraces feature a mix of plants to ensure year-long beauty, with the exterior also styled to ensure the residence enhances the existing streetscape.

4. European-styled interiors

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109859 project_image_fid=185005]

Matching the fa&ccedil;ade, interiors boast a colour scheme warmed with timber, bronze, and natural stone.

&ldquo;Quattro&rsquo;s rich natural tones are a testament to its exceptional quality&rdquo;, the developers said.

Stunning pieces of hand-cut Patagonia stone feature in the European-styled kitchens, balanced with travertine and marble accents throughout.

Bronze accents on door handles and tapware help elevate the interiors, while floorplans also feature marble-tiled bathrooms, engineered oak herringbone flooring and an abundance of natural light.

5. Surrounded by nature

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109859 project_image_fid=185015]

Surrounded by parkland, Quattro offers an enviable lifestyle for a wide range of buyers.

The verdant streetscapes of Kew separate the residence from the hustle and bustle of the Melbourne CBD, offering a private and scenic lifestyle.

Kew is home to four premium golf courses, as well as the Yarra River, making residents of the picturesque suburb free to enjoy a range of recreational activities.

Harrison Reserve and Hays Paddock provide room for picnics, walks and relaxation, while the Yarra River and its famous Main Yarra Trail lie a few minutes to the north.

BEKL has collaborated with Plus Architecture to create a striking yet tranquil inner-city oasis that pays homage to the Royal Botanic Gardens of Melbourne.

Viv&eacute;re, a limited collection of 36 luxury residences, comprising one, two and three-bedroom apartments, sits atop Voco hotel and boasts uninterrupted garden views.

A celebration of life and living as the Latin name suggests, Viv&eacute;re&rsquo;s interiors reflect the abundance of life within its leafy surrounds.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108979 project_image_fid=181117]

It features an aesthetic based on natural materials and neutral tones to ensure the seamless flow of tranquillity throughout the sprawling residences.

It is in this way that the architecture, interior design and visualisation practice, aims to honour the Royal Botanic Garden&rsquo;s flourishing garden beds, lakes and manicured tree-lined lawns.

&ldquo;Each moment of this development, externally and internally, expresses an architectural confidence that always keeps the residents&rsquo; enjoyment of the building and their new home in mind&rdquo;, said Plus Architecture director, Jessica Liew.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108979 project_image_fid=181115]

The overall design is imbued with a sense of artistry and uncompromising functionality, offering residents a generous balance of flexibility and refined sophistication.

Domestic warmth and professionalism, technology and tradition coincide in both kitchen and bathroom designs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108979 project_image_fid=181110]

The kitchen&rsquo;s state of the art V-ZUG induction cooktop favoured over a traditional rangehood makes way for long, sleek lines and a calming, contemporary aesthetic, while the Verde Riviera Quartzite kitchen island becomes a stately presence within each bespoke kitchen.

Creating a sheltered tranquil feel, the architects aimed to create a dichotomy of strength and softness, with jade green as a pivotal point in the lush residences&rsquo; theme.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108979 project_image_fid=181113]

&ldquo;The expression of lightness, layered with shades of muted, earthy tones enhances its textural, grounding effect throughout [Viv&eacute;re]&rdquo;, Liew said.&nbsp;

The seamless connection between outside and inside were guiding parameters of the design process.

The architecturally-distinct project is the third in BEKL&rsquo;s rapidly growing portfolio, with a limited number of residences still available for purchase.

The development, under construction by the reputable construction firm Harris HMC,&nbsp;has been designed by Jackson Architecture to present a collection of premium one, two and three-bedroom residences.

Residents arriving at the development, situated on the corner of Elgin and Nicholson Streets, will be greeted by an architecturally distinct building, establishing a unique urban presence within Carlton.

Staying true to the neighbourhood&rsquo;s cultural heritage, the architects utilise &lsquo;masonry stone&rsquo; textured concrete on the fa&ccedil;ade, reminiscent of the original blue cobblestone streets of Carlton.

The building&#39;s form is sculpted by its balconies and terraces, creating a layered effect, and providing a level of privacy, outlook and outdoor living for residents to enjoy.

&ldquo;Pop-out perforated metal clad balconies and staggered anodised window hoods add another element of articulation to the fa&ccedil;ade&rdquo;, the project marketing reads.

The lobby is also framed by perforated metal finishes which continues into the foyer, merging the fa&ccedil;ade with the interior.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188246]

Open and bright living spaces are the feature of each residence, with 2.7m ceilings, paved terraces and balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Oak timber finish flooring and the choice between two colour schemes, light or dark, add a warmth to the home

&ldquo;The kitchens at Encompass are the perfect combination of contemporary style and functionality&rdquo;, the developers note.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188244]

Premium appliances, matte timber-look, full-height cabinetry and dual-tone cupboards contrast against the reconstituted stone benchtop in raw concrete.

Kitchens also include a pull-out pantry and&nbsp;sophisticated matte black tapware to present a cohesive minimalist style. An&nbsp;integrated fridge and freezer is an optional upgrade.

Bedrooms are similarly warm and inviting with built-in robes, wool loop pile carpets and some featuring a study nook.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188243]

Encompass bathrooms follow on from the clean lines and minimalist style of the residence, with feature black fittings, terrazzo floor tiles and a hand-blown Hollywood-style wall lamp.

Creative architecture and considered landscaping mean residents can feel excited whether they are in their private apartments or enjoying the communal amenities on offer.

The development features a rooftop lounge, outdoor barbeque, alfresco dining and lounge areas and a fully-equipped kitchen to provide an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city below.

Comprised of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, the project provides a great lifestyle opportunity for discerning buyers seeking the best of architecture, outdoor spaces, sustainability, and urban living.

But why invest? Urban takes a look at eight reasons why investors are showing interest in this new development.

1. Melbourne&rsquo;s most walkable neighbourhood

Carlton has been named Melbourne&rsquo;s most walkable neighbourhood by Walk Score, with a score of 97 attributed to its convenient local amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188289]

Residents at Encompass can walk to around 50 restaurants, bars and coffee shops within five minutes.

Benefitting from strong local retail and amenity, education and employment hubs, as we shall soon explore, Carlton has it all.

2. Apartment affordability

Apartments in Carlton offer an affordable option for renters with median weekly rents registered at $360 for the year to March 2021, according to Urbis.

For new apartments&nbsp;in Carlton, median weekly rents registered at $410; a $50 premium over older apartment stock.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188281]

This, coupled with a gross rental yield of 5.1 per cent, provides a big positive for potential investors looking to purchase an apartment in Carlton.

Investors are also likely to achieve a better return on investment as the rental market stabilises as a result of ongoing tenant activity.

3. Public transport

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188283]

With trams running along Swanston Street, Nicholson Street and Lygon Street, Encompass residents can feel connected to the Melbourne CBD.

The new Parkville station will also enhance the local public transport offering of Carlton, providing nearby access to the CBD and the remainder of Melbourne.

4. Open space and neighbourhood amenities

Leisure and open space are an important part of any neighbourhood, and Carlton is rich with parklands and gardens.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188280]

World heritage site Carlton Gardens boasts nearly 20-hectares of parkland, and contains the Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne Museum and tennis courts.

Other neighbourhood amenities include the Carlton Baths, which features a 25-metre public pool, as well as a health club and sporting facilities.

5. Retail and restaurants

Residents are never far from local retail amenity, with a Woolworths shopping centre nearby, as well as an IMAX cinema, bank and clothing stores.

6. Over $11 billion in infrastructure investment

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188285]

$11 billion in state and local government infrastructure investment is currently in the pipeline to benefit Encompass residents.

Key projects include the $11 billion new metro tunnel project to improve train capacity by close to 60 per cent and the $9 million University Square masterplan.

The $500 million redevelopment of the inner-city innovation precinct will also serve to introduce a new mixed-use precinct to the suburb that features office space, public engagement space and retail offerings.

7. Great design

Designed by Jackson Architecture, the design of Encompass is sure to see renters seek out an apartment in the new development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188287]

The architecturally distinctive building will establish a unique urban presence within Carlton and Fitzroy, while staying true to the neighbourhoods&rsquo; cultural heritage.

This extends into the interiors with open and bright living spaces, a paved terrace or balcony in each residence and carefully considered floorplans.

With a walk score of 97% and dotted with reclaimed warehouses, architect-designed residences&nbsp;and art studios, Brunswick forms an ever-evolving, enigmatic precinct.

Urban takes a look at the top five Brunswick apartments on the market now.

1. Nine Wilson Avenue 
Developer: Neometro

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93019 project_image_fid=183966]

Nine Wilson Ave forms the final piece of Neometro&rsquo;s multi-stage development, Jewell Station Village, developed at the southern end of Brunswick near Royal Park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94542 project_image_fid=160734]

Located in the heart of Brunswick, 4 Ballarat Street operates on a rent-with-the-option-to-buy model, which has made this development particularly popular with first home buyers.

Brought to life by Assemble and Fieldwork Architects, the Brunswick site was previously a factory designed by Melbourne architects AK Lines, McFarlane and Marshall.

The development similarly picks up on these distinctive qualities of post-war industrial buildings and the predominant terracotta hues of the neighbourhood in its interiors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94542 project_image_fid=160730]

Apartments are accented with warm colours and no-fuss design details such as terracotta tiles, hard-wearing benchtops, rich terracotta-coloured kitchen joinery, and chrome finishes.
