<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> has lodged plans for a $750 million, three-tower mixed-use precinct that would complete the long-running redevelopment of Carlton's former Carlton United Breweries site.

The proposal at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/185-195-queensberry-street-carlton-vic-3053">46-78 Bouverie Street and 185-195 Queensberry Street</a> spans a 6,468 sqm site, the last remaining undeveloped parcels within the former brewery's 2007 masterplan.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the development will comprise two purpose-built student accommodation towers and a third build-to-sell apartment tower above a shared commercial podium and basement.

Across the three towers, SP Setia is proposing 606 build-to-sell apartments and 1,499 student accommodation units containing 2,009 beds.

The apartments will sit in the tallest tower, which will rise nearly 200m and 55 storeys. It will become&nbsp;one of the more substantial new build-to-sell apartment projects at the northern edge of Melbourne's CBD.

The apartment mix is weighted toward smaller inner-city product, with 188 studios, 206 one-bedroom apartments, 192 two-bedroom apartments and 20 three-bedroom apartments

<img alt="First look: SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8271bc87-1b0a-41b7-ac73-a425ee375261" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/3_2.png?VersionId=G4lw23o90B1boX4k4dj7rdz2ZEajS9wy" />

Part of the precinct will be a large-scale&nbsp;3,684 sqm supermarket and a further 2,198 sqm of speciality retail, creating close to 5,900 sqm of new commercial space within the precinct.

But one of the biggest components of the proposal is what sits between the buildings.

Around 4,650 sqm, or roughly 72 per cent of the site, will be publicly accessible open space, incorporating plazas, pedestrian connections, landscaped laneways and retail spill-out areas.

The ground plane is intended to finally complete pedestrian connections envisaged when the CUB masterplan was first approved nearly two decades ago, stitching together Victoria Street, Queensberry Street, Bouverie Street and Swanston Street through the former brewery precinct.

Urbis said the development would "complete the CUB precinct", with the public realm providing important north-south and east-west connections through what is currently the final undeveloped portion of the masterplanned site.

SP Setia is also exploring a new linear park within the Bouverie Street road reserve, with the concept to be developed further with the City of Melbourne through the planning process.

The proposal is being pursued through the Victorian Government's Development Facilitation Program under Clause 53.23 for significant residential development with affordable housing.

The planning report acknowledges the proposed heights exceed those contemplated under the original Comprehensive Development Plan and masterplan, but argues the built-form context has changed considerably over the past two decades.

Urbis said the three towers would instead create a stepped transition between Carlton and the Hoddle Grid, rising progressively from the 94.1-metre Tower One along the Queensberry Street edge to the 199.44-metre Tower Three closer to the established CBD-scale buildings to the south.

<img alt="SP Setia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e885a07a-592c-40fc-bf82-e6dbaf32da54" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.52.24%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7s_ErUkSKAdY1mAWp3GRZgMNCGtwhk5m" />

SP Setia plans to deliver the development across three stages.

Stage One would deliver the basement, podium and retail areas for the entire precinct alongside the first student tower. Tower Two would follow in Stage Two, before the 606-apartment Tower Three is delivered as the final stage.

If approved and delivered, the project would close out a redevelopment process that has been underway since the former brewery masterplan was approved in 2007, adding more than 2,600 student beds and apartments to a precinct already home to Swanston Central, the Barak Building, RMIT Design Hub and several large student accommodation developments.

SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct

Melbourne developer Lowe Living is seeking to add to its growing bayside apartment pipeline, filing plans for a boutique eight-residence development in tightly held Middle Park.

Lowe Living, which has built much of its development portfolio across Melbourne's affluent bayside and south-east suburbs, is behind the plans for the 730 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/123-125-erskine-street-middle-park-vic-3206">123-125 Erskine Street</a>, just off Armstrong Street and within the Armstrong Street Neighbourhood Activity Centre.

The developer is seeking approval for a five-storey residential building above two basement levels, with just eight large-format apartments and 18 car spaces.

“This is a deliberately very different proposition for us,"&nbsp;Tim Lowe, Co-Founder of Lowe Living, said.

"Eight residences is exceptionally boutique, but that's precisely what this site calls for.

“There is a strong community in Middle Park and the surrounding suburbs who have spent decades building a life here. They no longer want the maintenance of a large period home, but they aren't prepared to compromise on space, quality or location. We think there is a real opportunity to capture that hyper local market. A site like this rarely comes to market.”

<img alt="Lowe " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="875fe572-0f14-4d90-9e11-55b28dd07731" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.42.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=GDNQRv9BfpR9r1zkZ5UDyUM4ZvpIksut" />

The low-density proposal has been designed by Cera Stribley and is being progressed through the Victorian Government's Great Design Fast Track pathway, having already secured eligibility from the Minister for Planning.

The Office of the Victorian Government Architect supported its eligibility after finding the proposal demonstrated consistency with the program's seven design principles, while the project's financial feasibility has also been independently confirmed by Invest Victoria.

The project is targeting the downsizer market, with the planning documents describing the homes as larger-format residences and noting the two penthouses could otherwise have been configured as four separate apartments.

<img alt="Lowe 2" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="60ab0987-2da6-4175-adac-315dcf6053c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.15%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=bOCPH0B2MFwlmaRW.TTCF9TzyifgVoQI" />

The site has dual frontage to Erskine Street and Canterbury Place and currently comprises a collection of commercial buildings used as offices, including a former heritage bakehouse, a former stable, a later gabled addition and a central courtyard.

It sits within the Commercial 1 Zone and the Armstrong Street Commercial Precinct heritage overlay, with the existing property classified as a contributory heritage place.

Heritage has subsequently played a significant role in Cera Stribley's design.

The front section of the former bakehouse facing Erskine Street will be retained, including its return walls, street-facing hipped roof and chimneys, while the Erskine Street façade and part of the western return wall of the former stable will also be incorporated into the new development.

Levels four and five will be set back five metres from the retained stable façade, while bricks removed through demolition are proposed to be salvaged and reused within the new building where possible.

<img alt="Lowe 3" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e97927a9-a2de-4a0f-83b6-65451238abfa" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.06%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VR44AChLrX9q1XPB9GvVQV.ALXXbe4gC" />

Rather than presenting as a single five-storey building to Erskine Street, Cera Stribley has broken the development into a series of distinct forms.

A three-storey infill element will sit between the retained bakehouse and stable façades, with the upper levels recessed behind the heritage fabric. Canterbury Place will similarly feature two three-storey podium forms, separated by a central pedestrian accessway, before the upper two levels step back from the street.

A pedestrian through-link will run through the centre of the project between Erskine Street and Canterbury Place, creating entrances from both sides of the site and introducing landscaping and communal areas through the ground plane.

Landscape architect Acre has designed planting across the ground level, private terraces and upper levels, including a feature canopy tree at level three and integrated planting and arbours across the level four terraces. Five existing Erskine Street trees are proposed to be retained.

Sustainability is also a significant component of the Great Design Fast Track application. The apartments are targeting an average eight-star NatHERS rating, with no residence below 6.5 stars, while the project has achieved a 75 per cent BESS score. Seven of the eight apartments are designed for cross-ventilation, with the remaining residence using mechanically assisted natural ventilation.

The plans also incorporate an 8kWp rooftop solar system, a 5,000-litre rainwater tank and infrastructure allowing future electric vehicle charging for every residence.

Lowe has a strong portfolio across Melbourne's blue-chip suburbs. They recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/jardin-house-by-lowe-living-camberwell-335-camberwell-road-camberwell-vic-3124">Jardin House by Lowe Living</a> in Camberwell, their first development in the Stonnington LGA.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dvb-projects">DVB Projects</a> is preparing to launch its second Gold Coast apartment development, with demolition now underway on the Broadbeach site as the Sydney developer moves closer to bringing the ultra-luxury project to market.

The 34-level tower at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/137-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">137 Old Burleigh Road</a> will comprise just 49 residences, ranging from half-floor apartments through to full-floor homes and a penthouse. The launch follows the strong sales performance of DVB's nearby Sea Glass development. More than half of the apartments at Sea Glass, on the other side of Broadbeach, have been snapped up, well ahead of its late 2027 completion

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2944b4be-c84e-4b54-8dc1-c712e76704c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/E02_Exterior_Street%20Level%20Entrance.jpg?VersionId=YoNig7pRdrE3HCue7sUj78LzJteeQf3H" />

The start of demolition at 137 Old Burleigh Road signals DVB Projects’ underlying confidence in the Gold Coast’s luxury beachside apartment sector.

“We see the Gold Coast as one of the most compelling lifestyle markets in Australia, particularly at the premium end where demand continues to deepen,” said Dean Brown, Managing Director of DVB.&nbsp;

“This project has been carefully designed to respond to that demand - delivering large-format residences with a level of quality, privacy and amenity that is still relatively rare in the apartment market on the beachside."

Brown says the site itself is "exceptional."

"Old Burleigh Road is one of the most tightly held beachfront strips, and opportunities to deliver a project of this scale and calibre in this location are extremely limited.”

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="398f377a-c037-455e-9250-0c5e0d84c35b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/I12_FF%20Balcony.jpg?VersionId=NwOiRWGMubR1c8wthuEfggklcja7al9." />

The project will comprise 40 half-floor residences of approximately 260 sqm, alongside eight full-floor residences spanning around 524 sqm.

A single penthouse will crown the building, featuring a private pool, barbecue area, indoor gym and dedicated entertaining spaces.

Residents will have access to a resort-style suite of amenities, including a 20-metre pool with daybeds, a gymnasium, hot and cold plunge pools, a sauna, and private residents’ lounge and dining facilities.

Sales agent Todd Matheson, of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/pezet-matheson">Pezet Matheson</a>, which is marketing both 137 Old Burleigh Road and Sea Glass, said 137 Old Burleigh Road would address a clear gap in the market for genuine luxury products.

“There are very few opportunities on the Gold Coast where buyers can secure a residence of this size and quality in a new building,” Matheson said.

“What we’re seeing is a growing cohort of downsizers and interstate buyers who still want space - they’re not willing to compromise on living area, entertaining or finishes.

“This project has been designed with that buyer in mind. It offers the scale of a home, combined with the convenience and security of apartment living, in one of the coast’s most desirable positions.”

Located on a 1,156 sqm site one block from the beachfront, the development will replace an ageing walk-up building and is expected to contribute to the ongoing transformation of the Old Burleigh Road strip into one of the Gold Coast’s most prestigious residential corridors.

With the development moving into the delivery phase, 137 Old Burleigh Road is slated to hit the market later this year.

DVB Projects to launch second Broadbeach apartment tower as demolition commences

<a data-end="327" data-is-only-node="" data-start="250" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/norus-projects" rel="noopener" target="_new">Norus Developments</a> has lodged plans for a new apartment development in Clayton that would add further momentum to the suburb's emerging Green Street corridor.

Plans have been lodged for the consolidated site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1359-1365-centre-road-clayton-vic-3168">1359-1365 Centre Road</a>, where Norus is seeking approval for 218 apartments across a 12-storey apartment building designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/life-architecture-and-urban-design">Life Architecture</a>.

The proposal sits within the Clayton Major Activity Centre at the threshold of the planned Green Street corridor, a landscaped pedestrian connection intended to improve links through the precinct towards Clayton Railway Station.

The development would replace the site's existing collection of low-scale residential and commercial buildings with a single consolidated building, introducing significantly greater housing density to this part of Centre Road.

A retail tenancy is proposed at ground level to activate the Centre Road frontage, accompanied by transparent street interfaces and landscaping intended to create a more pedestrian-focused edge to the development.

<img alt="First look: Norus Developments plans landscape-led apartment project for Clayton’s emerging Green Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0a5a763a-d9e9-4253-af2f-88008de27ebf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Clayton%20a.png?VersionId=S2WJJbat1XVkZwB9SnYtygirXgWHiklX" />

The building has been designed with stepped massing and upper-level setbacks to manage its transition towards surrounding residential properties. The planning report describes the approach as one that integrates the building into the landscape rather than treating landscaping as a secondary element.

"A strong landscape and public realm strategy underpins the proposal," Urbis states in the planning report.

"Public benefits include an affordable housing contribution, a new pocket park, generous landscaped setbacks, deep soil planting and integrated Water Sensitive Urban Design."

The report adds that these elements are intended to create "a permeable, pedestrian-focused ground plane that enhances walkability, supports urban cooling and reinforces the emerging Green Street character."

Biophilic and passive design principles extend through the residential levels, with planting, daylight, natural ventilation and views towards landscaped areas forming part of the amenity strategy.

Parking would be concentrated away from the public realm, with 145 car spaces proposed from the rear laneway rather than dominating the Centre Road frontage.

The proposal follows an extensive pre-application process with the City of Monash. Three formal meetings were held between the project team and Council from December 2025 to March 2026, with the scheme evolving through several concept iterations before the current design was lodged.

The project arrives as Clayton prepares for substantial change around its established activity centre and the wider Suburban Rail Loop precinct. Its position on Centre Road places the development within an existing concentration of shops, services and public transport, while the Green Street connection is intended to strengthen pedestrian access towards Clayton Railway Station.

Kokoda Property are pushing forward with their $2.5 billion project pipeline despite the effects of the nationwide construction crisis currently plaguing the industry.

The situation has been exacerbated by a significant number of major property and construction companies facing collapse due to housing shortages, rising global material costs, and supply chain disruptions.

The resulting spike in construction company insolvency, which has increased by 90 per cent compared to the previous financial year, has left many in the industry feeling fearful and uncertain about the future.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=12457 project_image_fid=200171]

Kokoda Property Managing Director and Founder Mark Stevens said that they won’t be putting any projects on hold.

“Demand will soon outstrip supply based on forecasted population growth across major Australian capital cities and will be further exacerbated by record migration, especially in Queensland," Stevens said.&nbsp;

“While some view it as a volatile market and trickier to navigate, our 25-years of experience has seen us through many property cycles and difficult times. We have great relationships with reputable, quality construction partners and are confident in where things are heading.

“In fact, we’re actively searching for more sites and signing new deals for projects across Melbourne and Queensland."

Kokoda Property is currently in the midst of transforming Dandenong Road with its mixed-use precinct, Malvern Collective, which is currently 70 per cent sold with construction underway and due for completion in the first quarter of 2024.

Malvern Collective will feature two Jackson Clements Burrows-designed multi-residential towers with unparalleled views of Port Phillip Bay, the Dandenong Ranges and Melbourne’s CBD.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=12457 project_image_fid=200190]

The development comprises over 200 apartments designed by Carr, including a grand 463 sqm private New York-style penthouse with an exclusive lobby, dedicated lift and private rooftop and infinity pool, as well as a range of generous sub-penthouses that emulate the penthouse’s design inspiration, fixtures and finishes to create a six-star living experience across the board.

Malvern Collective’s ground level will be home to a brand new retail, dining and lifestyle precinct which includes the last Woolworths Metro to be built in Melbourne, as well as the Techne-designed, renovated Angel hotel, an iconic Melbourne pub with a rich legacy and history dating back to 1856.

The new precinct will connect with Glenferrie Road via new laneways with direct access to Malvern train station, providing residents and the local community a ‘0-minute development’, providing a lifestyle akin to living in the city, where everyday essentials and amenities are on the doorstep.

Kokoda is also pushing on with a growing pipeline in Brisbane. They recently completed their $165 million Milton project, The Ambrose, a 19-storey tower with 174 apartments and two retail spaces designed by Cottee Parker. That's 95 per cent sold.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6313 project_image_fid=208659]

Kokoda Property acquired its <a href="/news/qld/kokoda-secure-prime-milton-site-for-cottee-parker-designed-apartment-tower">second Milton site on Crombie Street earlier this year</a> for $11 million, with plans to build a 22-storey, 160 apartment multi residential tower featuring a rooftop pool, private dining, health and wellness space and gym.

The Crombie Street project will have a total value of circa $160 million and will soon launch its expressions of interest campaign.

Earlier this month Kokoda spent $100 million on the <a href="/news/qld/kokoda-snare-last-remaining-riverfront-in-teneriffe-for-mixed-use-development">last remaining riverfront site in Teneriffe</a>, with plans to build another $1.75 billion mixed-use precinct across the huge 17,600 sqm Skyring Terrace block.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=12457]

With no signs of slowing down, Kokoda Property is currently in the midst of transforming Dandenong Road with its high end, mixed-use precinct, Malvern Collective, which is currently 70 per cent sold with construction underway and due for completion in the first quarter of 2024.

Just seven kilometres north-west of the Melbourne CBD, nestled amongst vast expanses of green open space and the iconic Moonee Valley Racecourse comes the mixed-use precinct, Mason Sq.&nbsp;

Marked by four distinct residential towers, Rise forms the final piece of the residential puzzle, with a collection of luxury penthouse-style skyhomes and residences.

Located in the heart of Moonee Ponds, Rise is a rare find, with all the one-bedroom apartments already sold out and only a limited number of two and three-bedroom floorplans remaining.&nbsp;

At 29 levels, the building offers some of the highest views north of the Melbourne CBD, connecting Moonee Ponds to the city skyline.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5328 project_image_fid=155345]

The tower begins at the podium level, with its reflective glass helping Rise to embrace its surroundings.&nbsp;

Many elements of the building’s exterior echoes the other buildings in the precinct through the use of similar metallic aspects such as copper, black metal accents and bronze glazing.&nbsp;

Internally, floor-to-ceiling glass invites an abundance of natural light to filter through each of the residences, while also allowing residents to benefit from sweeping views.

The rounded dimensions of the living areas are generous and harmonious, with special attention paid to the colour palette and timber-feature design, while the bathrooms are fitted out with a custom designed and personalised wall mounted basin, in an exclusive partnership with Omvivo.

In recent years Omvivo’s products have been selected for prominent projects including the award-winning Qatar Science and Technology Park, Sydney Opera House and Permira’s London headquarters, while also winning several Paris-based Design Awards as well as the Australian IDEA award and the 2011 Staron design award.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5328 project_image_fid=163907]

The 'Omvivo for Rise' basin is crafted from a solid surface which has a durable and easy to maintain smooth matt finish, with the building’s distinctive “R” logo lasered onto the basin, completing the customised nature of the apartments.&nbsp;

Rise also includes an exclusive suite of residential amenity, split across different sections in the building, beginning in the lobby, which is a connecting force linking the courtyard with the pedestrian laneway.

Residents will have access to Mason Garden, a half-acre of lush gardens and recreational areas. A new landscaped public thoroughfare linking Hall St and Homer St has also been incorporated into the precinct, with the urban plaza to be home to an array of eateries, pop-up markets and places to sit and relax.&nbsp;

Club Rise will find its home on level three of Rise, with the exclusive health and fitness destination including a fully equipped gym, along with a sauna and a yoga studio. Level three will also include an outdoor terrace, providing ample seating for residents to settle into.&nbsp;

Level four of Rise will include a suite of residential amenities as well.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5328 project_image_fid=155362]

Dubbed, Mason Terraces, the area will feature a private dining room and lounges, along with an indoor pool and spa as well as multiple barbecue facilities.&nbsp;

The established inner suburb is currently experiencing a boom in popularity, with its leafy streetscapes, landscaped parks and striking mix of architecture providing residents with the best of city life, whilst still maintaining an urban charm.&nbsp;

The suburb is a public transport hub and offers easy connectivity, while the expansive parklands and the Maribyrnong River offer an abundance of recreational opportunities including rowing and cycling.&nbsp;

The main urban village of Puckle St, will provide residents with everything from fresh produce and artisan bakeries to boutique fashions and designer wares, with the well-established and well-frequented strip close to the Mason Sq precinct.&nbsp;

Moonee Ponds is close to some of Melbourne’s finest primary and secondary schools and the nearby 59 tram runs directly to Melbourne University. Moonee Ponds offers sophisticated living on the edge of the city making it one of Melbourne’s most desirable addresses.

Brunswick Yard, a contemporary multi-residential project in the eclectic Melbourne suburb of Brunswick, draws inspiration from the area's rich history and industrial vernacular.

The project fuses architecture, interiors, landscape, and streetscape seamlessly, creating a modern building suitable for contemporary living.

Architecture and interior design studio Carr handled both the exteriors and interiors of Brunswick Yard, adopting a seamless inside-out approach in their design.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4867 project_image_fid=159053]

The interior spaces reflect the same clean lines and simple forms that define the exterior, resulting in a consistent design language and thoroughly considered spatial experience.

Director Chris McCue said the project breaks down the overall mass by creating an architectural response that brings a finer grain residential architecture into a street dominated by large scale warehousing.

"We’ve articulated the fourth storey from the street level as a recessed interstitial floor with a floating podium form," McCue said.

"The elevation along the street is also quite long so we broke it down into a series of modules, presenting almost as a row of four-storey townhouses to the street.

"Breaking the scale down even further, two laneways punctuate through from the street to give each building its own identity, while functionally allowing for each apartment to have more natural light and cross-ventilation through dual aspects,” he explained.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4867 project_image_fid=159058]

Another benefit of the recessed floor with increased setbacks from the fourth level is several of the apartments have ceilings of 3.5-metres with an exposed concrete soffit.

The façade expresses a rhythmic play on the vertical form and even though each apartment is a single floor, on the façade they read as a series, with the ground floor apartments having dual access from the street, much like a mews or terrace house, but with additional internal access via the central courtyard.

The project comprises two buildings with a total of 122 apartments, evenly divided, with a maximum of 12 apartments per lift core per floor.

The apartments range from one, two, and three bedrooms, designed under the Better Apartment Design Standards (BADS) to ensure optimal utilisation of the square-meterage.

The laneways allow for dual aspects, and many of the apartments also feature a Juliet balcony.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4867 project_image_fid=159056]

The project is defined aesthetically by its use of concrete and steel mesh, a brutalist design language that reinterprets the industrial character of the area.

Carr Associate Richard Beel said the use of a singular material was critical on this project.

"It was chosen not just because of its relevance to Brunswick, but also for the atmospheric quality it expresses," Beel said.

"Despite being a monolithic building with a heavy material, the way the façade has been broken down in its form, and softened by planting, it also shows a lightness through its raw and natural properties."

The steel mesh is used for balustrading, screening, and planting, and helps soften the heaviness of the concrete. The planting scheme is also critical in aiding privacy and solar control, acting as very low intensive green walls.

“In an earlier project we studied the web forged mesh when used to control views in and out to comply with overlooking standards. Here we have used it for the same purpose but on a much larger scale, while are also integrating it as a planting medium so that vines can grow up it,” McCue added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4867 project_image_fid=159068]

“In our architecture we often seek an integrated approach to any constraints, in this case the mesh satisfied all the criteria."

To add relief, handcrafted timber doors are inserted at ground level, and ample private outdoor areas are integrated into the project, creating a sanctuary-like space with a large lawn that captures northern sunlight.

McCue shared that the project showcases how to use BADS to create well-planned apartments without saddleback apartments, and the living and dining spaces are big enough to set up in a variety of ways.

"There are no saddleback apartments and the living and the dining space is big enough that it could set it up in a number of different ways.”

One, two and three-bedroom apartments are still remaining in Brunswick Yard, with prices beginning from $475,000 for a one-bedder.&nbsp;

A fusion of past and present: How Carr designed Brunswick Yard

Apartment buyers are continuing to head back to the Melbourne CBD in droves, following the COVID-induced exodus from the city a number of years ago.

Urban.com.au data found the Melbourne 3000 postcode was the most popular suburb across Victoria in March, particularly for first home buyers. The CBD, and surrounds, have a number of off the plan and ready to move in apartment developments currently on the market.

We've crunched the numbers and looked at the top three most searched suburbs in Victoria on Urban across March.&nbsp;

<h2>Melbourne</h2>

The Melbourne 3000 postcode was again the most searched suburb on Urban in March, making it the most searched across the quarter.

The growth in migration has seen a number of prospective buyers seek out completed stock, with construction timelines currently fairly problematic, and a rental market as tight as it's even been.

Brady Group's 380 Melbourne has been one of the most popular projects in March. The&nbsp;twin tower project is home to a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, which start from $570,000.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2064 project_image_fid=210658]

Designed by Elenberg Fraser, the 65-level towers are located in the heart of the city on Lonsdale Street.

The towers also include 300 hotel suits, along with a retail and cafe arcade, which links the development to the public domain through a low-lying podium that resembles a cascading ripple.&nbsp;

An array of resident's only amenity has also been incorporated, with a resident's lounge and a games room with table tennis, air hockey and foosball tables.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2064 project_image_fid=210654]

There's also a private cinema and karaoke room, along with steam rooms, a sauna, private bar dining and lounge areas, a rooftop garden, 25-metre heated lap pool, and an outdoor terrace with barbecue facilities and seating.&nbsp;

<h2>Southbank</h2>

South of the Yarra River has been another hotspot for buyers across March, with the well-connected suburb known for its vibrant atmosphere, modern architecture, and views of the city skyline.

The most recent collection of apartments to hit the market is the second tower in OSK Property's near $3 billion billion masterplan, Melbourne Square.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211874]

The latest release, which follows the recently completed East Tower, comprises 610 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, starting from $521,000.

The tower is one of&nbsp;the first residential projects in Australia registered to pursue WELL Certification.&nbsp;It offers a podium gym, spa, sauna, and a 25 metre indoor swimming pool, as well as a Zen garden, alfresco dining area and BBQ facilities.

The tower is expected to be completed in late 2026.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211872]

The most recently completed apartment tower in Southbank is Central Equity's FOCUS, which has proved a popular choice for locals who want to remain near the city while enjoying a neighbourhood feel.

The 50-level building, with a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments starting from $499,000, is ideally located on City Road.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3260 project_image_fid=210866]

Buyers have been sold on the location of FOCUS, which places residents on the doorstep of the arts precinct and its upcoming $1.7 billion revamp.

"Southbank has a leafier feel than the city," Central Equity's Sales Manager Neil Singh&nbsp;says, adding that the suburb still offers all the pros of inner-city living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3260 project_image_fid=206134]

"Within minutes, residents can be at the NGV and Arts Centre, or walk less than a kilometre to reach the Queen Victoria Gardens."

<h2>Brighton</h2>

Melbourne's bayside has long been a sought after address for buyers, with more and more developers taking to the idyllic oceanside for their residential developments.

One of the most popular projects is Martin Brighton, a rare offering in the exclusive suburb due to its interiors, which have been crafted by the legendary Miriam Fanning's MIM Design.

Over 40 per cent of its 11 two and three-bedroom apartments have been snapped up. Luxury developer EBG Developments has recently released an incentive offer for buyers. Their discounted five per cent deposit (half of the standard 10 per cent deposit across other projects) - will sit in a high interest account and earn seven per cent per annum, until the project is completed, which is expected to be in early 2024.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5495 project_image_fid=207664]

One of Brighton's most recently completed projects, 448 Brighton by Sunkin Property Group.

The project has just 20 apartments starting from $1.4 million.&nbsp;

It was designed by renowned architecture firm SJB and sits in landscaped gardens by the equally renowned Jack Merlo.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31946 project_image_fid=211970]

The kitchens are the focal point of the apartment, featuring a sculpted natural marble stone benchtop and appliances by&nbsp;Gaggenau and Bora.

448 Brighton was named both after its location at 448 St Kilda Street, and its proximity to the beach, just 448 metres. It's on the doorstep of Elwood and Elsternwick Parks and a number of&nbsp;cafes, restaurants and private schools.

We've crunched the numbers and looked at the top three most searched suburbs in Victoria on Urban across March. 

Urban's most popular suburbs for Melbourne apartment buyers in March

Developers, construction company and real estate group, Brady Property Group have transformed Melbourne's city skyline with their latest residential development, 380 Melbourne.&nbsp;

Located at 380 Lonsdale Street, the two tower development has been designed by renowned architect firm Elenberg Fraser, soaring 218 metres into the air, with the North Tower at 65-storeys and the South Tower at 51 levels, representing the continued demand for inner-city apartment living.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2064 project_image_fid=210654]

It's not just apartments that are on offer in the twin tower development, with a collection of 300 luxury VOCO by IHG hotel suites&nbsp;also finding a place in 380 Melbourne, along with commercial podium spaces and a new laneway that links the building to the public domain, connecting Lonsdale and Little Lonsdale Streets.&nbsp;

The towers join Melbourne’s booming 200 metre club and are in the top 25 tallest towers in the city, wrapped in a curvaceous teal glass wall, with 728 ready-to-move-in one, two and three-bedroom apartments on offer.&nbsp;

The interior design of 380 Melbourne is sensory with an expression of personality and unique identity. The towers offer a range of colour palettes, sophisticated materials and distinctive touches, such as Oak timber floorboards, paired with cutting edge fixtures and high quality Miele kitchen appliances. The light-filled living areas are open-plan and provide panoramic outlooks to the CBD, with many featuring bespoke bay windows.&nbsp;

Residential amenity was a focus for the group when designing 380 Melbourne, with the towers home to a resident's lounge with large chandeliers, a games room, a private cinema, karaoke room, steam rooms and a sauna, a private bar, numerous dining and lounge areas, as well as a rooftop garden, a 25 metre heated lap pool, and an outdoor terrace with barbecue facilities and outdoor seating.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2064 project_image_fid=210633]

Located just a stone’s throw from all Melbourne has to offer, 380 Melbourne residents will be able to take advantage of shopping precincts such as Melbourne Central and Emporium Shopping Centre, which are both within walking distance.

The RMIT University precinct with the public State Library of Victoria, educational facilities and quirky cafes and bars, as well as extensive parklands such as Carlton Gardens and Flagstaff Gardens are also within easy reach.

Melbourne is known for its insatiable appetite for food from a wide array of cultures, and 380 Melbourne offers easy access to the city's diverse culinary scene.

Chinatown is within walking distance from the front steps of 380 Melbourne, while Hardware Lane, located just below the towers, boasts a myriad of cafes and restaurants fit for breakfast, brunch and dinner.

380 Melbourne delivers ready-to-move-in apartments to the heart of the city

One of Melbourne's trendiest suburbs is a step closer to welcoming a new residential building.&nbsp;

Construction works are set to commence in the coming months on The Watson by Kincrest, who have appointed their long-time preferred construction partner to build the project.

The Ned Ireland and Nigel Brown-led Ireland Brown Constructions will handle the build of the 37 apartments and townhouses, where prices start from&nbsp;$795,000 for a two-bed townhouse.&nbsp;The two-bedroom apartments are priced from $845,000, while the three-bedders start at $1.2 million.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135737 project_image_fid=207820]

Kincrest have sought the work of Ireland Brown for all their developments, with The Watson marking the third collaboration between the pair.&nbsp;

Kincrest has already sold around $20 million worth of apartments, with all the buyers so far owner-occupiers, a mix of downsizers and first home buyers.&nbsp;

Tom Howgate, Kincrest Director and Owner, says buyers have responded well to the large apartments, which have been purposefully designed to offer more living space than any competitor in surrounding suburbs. The average apartment in The Watson spans over 120 sqm, almost double the standard 65 sqm elsewhere.

The site at&nbsp;1 Thorn Street is still occupied, with construction works set to kick off in the third quarter of the year.

Renowned architecture firm Rothelowman has designed the project, with Melbourne-based studio Telha Clarke handling the interiors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135737 project_image_fid=207827]

The open-plan living spaces benefit from floor-to-ceiling windows that invite an abundance of natural light into each of the homes, extending out to spacious balconies which take full advantage of views to the city and the sea.

Each apartment is equipped with high-quality materials and appliances, along with ample storage, LED recessed downlights, ducted heating and cooling, as well as video and intercom surveillance.&nbsp;&nbsp;

At the Western gateway to Melbourne, Footscray has become one of the city's most popular destinations for those seeking an inner-city lifestyle.&nbsp;

As the area continues to grow and develop, Bensons Property Group's Liberty One has emerged as a beacon of luxury living, offering an unparalleled opportunity to experience all that Footscray has to offer, with the group welcoming the first crop of residents recently.&nbsp;

The development boasts 24 levels, including a rooftop and four levels of basement car park, comprising of 378 one, two and three-bedroom apartments and 10 retail shop tenancies across the ground floor.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=709 project_image_fid=211787]

There's been a big uptake from first home buyers at Liberty One, with the location of the project a major drawcard a Bensons' spokesperson said.&nbsp;

"Situated just five kilometres from the CBD, residents are within proximity to a bustling and diverse foodie culture, along with proximity to transport, retail and major education institutions."

"Now that the project is completed, its and exciting time for buyers to walk through the spaces and really envision their future home."

With prices for a one-bedder starting from $509,850, first home buyers have also been keen to call the Footscray development home, with the option to secure an apartment with just a $10,000 deposit another drawcard.&nbsp;

Designed by CHT Architects, Liberty One takes on a modern and sleek design, with floor-to-ceiling windows that, as you ascend up the floors, only help to display the expansive view lines from the tower even more impressively.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=709 project_image_fid=210299]
