Growing national developer Time &amp; Place has announced its fifth new apartment development.

With two projects in Manly and two upcoming in Surry Hills and Potts Point, the developer, which expanded beyond Melbourne just a few years ago, is now heading to Mosman. It is planning 53 new apartments on Redan Street.

The 3,233 sqm site, spanning <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/40-48-redan-street-mosman-nsw-2088">40–48 Redan Street</a> with frontage to Redan Lane, is located just under 400 metres from Spit Junction Town Centre. It is reported the developer paid around $100 million for the five-site amalgamation.

Time &amp; Place, founded by Tim Price and backed by James Packer’s private investment firm NPACT, has submitted the project as a State Significant Development through the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

Of the 53 apartments, 42 will be released to the market, with the remaining 11 allocated as affordable housing in line with NSW Government requirements.

fjc Studio has designed the building. In its Design Report, the architect said the diverse mix of dwelling types and sizes, including 11 two-bedroom affordable housing units, 40 three-bedroom apartments, and two four-bedroom residences, will support a broad demographic, including families, downsizers, and key workers.

The development will rise to nine levels, a height encouraged by the NSW Government due to the site’s proximity to Spit Junction, which has been identified as a low- to mid-rise centre. Developments within a certain proximity to these centres are permitted increased height.

fjc said the project “achieves an appropriate density outcome for its setting by balancing increased housing supply with strong amenity performance,” adding that it “makes a measurable contribution to NSW housing supply targets through the delivery of additional dwellings and dedicated affordable housing.”

The new development will replace five existing two-storey homes.

“By aligning with the objectives of the Housing SEPP and applying careful architectural and urban design principles, the development provides high-quality residential accommodation that integrates sensitively within its established Mosman context and delivers enduring benefits to residents and the wider community.”

Mosman has become increasingly popular with developers in recent years.

Developer Abadeen has been particularly active, with Mosman Residences currently on the market and under construction on Clifford Street. It also has an upcoming Burran Avenue project, comprising just three apartments on the Balmoral Slopes, and recently secured the Midas and Honeysuckle nursery site on Military Road.

Prosker Property has a project on Redan Lane, just a few doors down from Time &amp; Place’s proposed development.

Developers including Toohey Miller, DARE Property Group, and WINIM also have projects underway in the area. In 2024, a five-year target was set for the Mosman LGA to increase housing supply by 500 dwellings by 2029.

Time &amp; Place entered the Sydney market with Two Tides, its under construction Manly development. Given its sales success, it has secured another development in the area, more boutique, facing the beach on North Steyne.

They are hoping to launch their redevelopment of The Chimes in Potts Point this year, and next year will look to take to market Marlborough House, an adaptive re-use of the landmark David Jones warehouse in Surry Hills.

Time & Place to take on Mosman apartment market

Brunswick’s civic heart continues to consolidate around the Merri-bek Arts and Culture Precinct, where a growing cluster of cultural institutions, recreation facilities, and public infrastructure has created one of the inner north’s most defined community hubs.&nbsp;

Within this evolving precinct, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/saxon-street-by-milieu-brunswick-31-saxon-street-brunswick-vic-3056">Saxon Street by Milieu</a> introduces new housing directly alongside the civic anchors that shape daily life in the suburb.

At 31 Saxon Street, the project sits immediately beside Brunswick Baths and within moments of Brunswick Library and Town Hall, longstanding institutions that support both community services and everyday amenity.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136434 project_image_fid=348840]

Next door, the newly delivered Balam Balam Place arts precinct has emerged as a central piece of Merri-bek Council’s cultural strategy, bringing together creative studios, exhibition spaces, maternal and child health services, and community programming in a purpose-built civic facility. Together, these destinations have reinforced the surrounding blocks as a focal point for public life in Brunswick.

This part of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/brunswick-vic-3056">Brunswick</a> forms a key pocket within the suburb’s designated Major Activity Centre, where long-term planning has prioritised walkability, civic investment, and increased housing supply close to transport and services. The surrounding street network reflects that strategy, with compact blocks, established retail corridors and active transport links supporting a lifestyle that is largely navigable on foot.

Within a few minutes’ walk, Sydney Road delivers one of Melbourne’s most recognisable streets, known for its long-running mix of independent retailers, international dining venues and everyday convenience. Tram routes along Sydney Road provide frequent connections south toward the CBD and north through Brunswick and Coburg, while Jewell Station on the Upfield line sits within roughly a ten-minute walk, offering direct train access into the city.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136434 project_image_fid=348839]

Active transport also plays a significant role locally. The nearby Upfield Bike Path forms a key north–south cycling corridor linking Brunswick through Parkville and into the central city, reinforcing the area’s reputation as one of Melbourne’s most accessible inner-urban neighbourhoods for cyclists and pedestrians alike.

The surrounding civic cluster extends beyond cultural infrastructure. Siteworks, a nearby creative hub supporting artists and community organisations, adds to the concentration of cultural activity in the immediate area. Educational institutions such as Brunswick North Primary School, Brunswick Secondary College and RMIT’s Brunswick campus are also within easy reach, contributing to the suburb’s diverse resident base spanning families, students and professionals.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136434 project_image_fid=348841]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/jackson-clements-burrows-architects">Jackson Clements Burrows Architects</a> in collaboration with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/designoffice">DesignOffice</a> and landscape architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/oculus">OCULUS</a>, the nine-level building has been shaped to respond to the surrounding streetscape, with lower levels aligning to the street and upper storeys stepping back to soften its scale and improve solar access.&nbsp;

Curved balcony forms reference nearby heritage architecture, while the development’s public realm improvements include a widened footpath along Saxon Street to strengthen pedestrian connections between the precinct’s civic sites.

Sustainability also underpins the project’s approach. The building is designed to operate entirely on electric infrastructure supported by rooftop solar, with an average 7.5-star NatHERS energy rating and EV-charging readiness across the development. Shared resident amenities will include a landscaped rooftop terrace with barbecue and covered dining areas intended to encourage informal interaction between residents.

Saxon Street marks developer Milieu's fifth project in Brunswick and continues its focus on design-led infill housing across Melbourne’s inner suburbs.&nbsp;

Construction has commenced through reputable builder Manresa, who will complete the project in 2027.

Saxon Street by Milieu connects residents to Brunswick’s cultural and civic core

Within <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/candela-ivanhoe-40-upper-heidelberg-road-ivanhoe-vic-3079">Candela Ivanhoe</a>, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/salter-brothers">Salter Brothers</a>&nbsp;takes a different approach to larger residences, moving away from the constraints of a single level.

In Grand Residence 3.05, known as the Lustre, plays out across two levels, with a mezzanine configuration that is uncommon in apartment living.

Lustre is a four-bathroom residence where the layout creates a clear distinction between shared and private zones, with uninterrupted views toward the Dandenong Ranges extending the sense of openness from the main living areas.

Entry is to the primary living level, where the kitchen, dining, and living areas are arranged as one continuous space. Timber flooring runs throughout, with a fireplace set within the living zone. Full-height glazing brings in natural light, supported by double glazing that improves thermal performance.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357506]

The kitchen is configured as both a working and social space. A large island bench provides seating, while a walk-in pantry extends storage beyond typical apartment expectations.

Gaggenau appliances, including a 900mm gas cooktop and 600mm oven, are integrated into a layout that connects directly to the adjacent dining and living areas, and outward to the terrace. This balcony includes a built-in BBQ, reinforcing the apartment’s capacity to accommodate larger gatherings without compromising internal space.

A dedicated laundry room, powder room, and a wine cellar area sit discreetly off the main living zone, ensuring that functional requirements are resolved without encroaching on primary living areas. The master suite is also located on this level, designed as a retreat with a walk-through wardrobe and an ensuite that includes double vanities, a bath, and a dedicated dressing table.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357508]

The mezzanine level introduces a second layer of living, rather than simply additional bedrooms. Two large bedrooms with built-in robes are positioned alongside a central bathroom, while a secondary lounge and study area create a self-contained zone suited to children, guests, or extended family. A large storage room further supports long-term usability, addressing a common shortfall in apartment design.

This separation of levels is central to how the residence functions day-to-day. It allows the lower level to operate as the primary entertaining and living space, while the upper level provides privacy and flexibility. The result is closer in feel to a townhouse or standalone home, but with the benefits of apartment living, security, and low maintenance.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=364553]

Candela is close to 80 per cent complete, with Ironside delivering construction ahead of its expected October 2026 completion. The development comprises 58 residences, with a strong owner-occupier profile and a mix of one to four-bedroom apartments and loft-style townhouses.

Candela has exclusive access to private amenities, including a residential lounge and rooftop terrace. A charming café and a lifestyle wellness centre are located on the ground level, designed to foster community connection and extend the living experience beyond individual apartments without competing with the scale of homes like Lustre.

Candela, positioned in the heart of Ivanhoe Village, reinforces the practicality of the address. With a Walk Score of 90, residents are within immediate reach of cafés, retail, parklands, and Ivanhoe Station, while also benefiting from proximity to established schools and healthcare services.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/milieu-property">Milieu</a>’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elsternwick-gardens-by-milieu-8-gordon-street-elsternwick-vic-3185">Elsternwick Gardens</a> is being shaped around a simple but increasingly rare premise in apartment development: that the built environment should actively support residents’ wellbeing.&nbsp;

Located on the former ABC Studios site on Gordon Street in Melbourne’s south-east, the new neighbourhood sits on an expansive 11,740 sqm site neighbouring the heritage-listed Rippon Lea Estate, whose gardens date back more than 140 years.

Rather than positioning wellness as an add-on amenity, the development integrates it into the physical planning of the site. Architecture by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> is arranged across six low-rise buildings set within extensive landscaping designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/oculus">OCULUS</a>, with more than 40 per cent of the land dedicated to gardens and green space. Walking trails, pocket gardens, and mature trees are threaded between buildings, creating a network of green corridors that encourage residents to move through the precinct on foot and spend more time outdoors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136535 project_image_fid=288420]

Milieu has intentionally framed these gardens as an extension of the neighbouring Rippon Lea Estate. More than 16,000 new plants will be introduced across the site, with species carefully selected to protect and complement the area’s ecological significance. The approach focuses on strengthening existing environmental conditions while establishing new habitats that support native wildlife, reinforcing the role of the landscape as both an active ecosystem and a defining element of daily life.

A private resident gate will provide direct access to the historic grounds during opening hours, allowing residents to move seamlessly between the development’s landscaped gardens and the estate’s expansive lawns, lakes, and mature trees. The project’s gardens will also be maintained by the same gardeners responsible for Rippon Lea, reinforcing the visual and ecological continuity between the two landscapes.

Complementing the landscape is a dedicated wellness hub designed to support everyday health and recovery. Residents will have access to a gym alongside yoga and Pilates studios, while mineral pools and infrared saunas provide spaces for relaxation and restorative wellbeing. Shared lounges, workshop spaces, and pet care facilities expand the concept of wellness beyond fitness, creating opportunities for social connection and community interaction within the precinct.

Environmental performance is another key component of the project’s wellbeing focus. Elsternwick Gardens will be entirely fossil-fuel-free, with homes designed to operate on renewable electricity rather than gas. Passive design strategies, including cross-flow ventilation, high-performance insulation, and thermally broken double glazing, are intended to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures while reducing energy demand. Solar photovoltaic systems will power common building services, while rainwater harvesting will help irrigate the extensive landscaping across the site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136535 project_image_fid=361030]

Milieu Founder and Managing Director Michael McCormack says the scale and setting of the project allowed the team to take a different approach to urban apartment living.

“This site represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build something truly special,” McCormack says.

“Through that process, we arrived at a design that centres on a fully realised natural landscape – a series of private, interconnected gardens that encircle the homes and extend seamlessly from Rippon Lea Estate.”

Elsternwick Gardens will comprise three residential offerings, Gordon Place, Ripponlea Terrace, and The Garden Pavilion, each designed for owner-occupiers and shaped around high-quality interior design by Woods Bagot, K.P.D.O., and Flack Studio. The first stage, Gordon Place, includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments designed with a strong focus on indoor-outdoor living and sustainability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136535 project_image_fid=288412]

Milieu recently appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/brady-constructions">Brady Constructions</a> to deliver the project, marking a key milestone for the development. The appointment follows the demolition of the former studio buildings on the Gordon Street site, with construction progressing toward the delivery of the nature-led community.

Situated between the established villages of Elsternwick and Ripponlea, the development balances its garden setting with strong urban connectivity. Residents will be within walking distance of cafés, restaurants, and local retail, while nearby train and tram connections provide quick access to Melbourne’s CBD and the beaches of Elwood and St Kilda.

With construction underway and the first residents expected to move in by early 2027, Elsternwick Gardens represents a growing shift in apartment development toward environments that prioritise wellbeing as much as density or location. By placing landscape, sustainability, and shared spaces at the centre of the design, Milieu is positioning the project as a residential neighbourhood where wellness is not just promoted, but built into the structure of everyday life.

Elsternwick Gardens' wellness-first design strategy

Brisbane-based developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/red-co">Red &amp; Co</a> has made a striking debut on the Gold Coast, officially unveiling its $250 million COMO development in Varsity Lakes, a lifestyle-driven residential project anchored by an extensive rooftop wellness and activity precinct.

Having recently launched to market, construction has already been fast-tracked by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/5point-projects">5Point Projects</a>, ensuring momentum continues on what is set to become a landmark residential address for the growing Varsity Lakes community.

Located at 22 Lake Street, Varsity Lakes, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/como-varsity-lakes-22-lake-street-varsity-lakes-qld-4227">COMO</a> will comprise 156 apartments across 16 levels, comprising one-, two- and three-bedroom residences designed for modern living. However, it is the project’s rooftop amenity offering that sets COMO apart.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363510]

Designed as a dedicated wellness and recreation hub, the rooftop will feature a 25-metre lap pool, fully equipped gymnasium, and multiple pickleball and paddleball courts - amenities rarely seen in boutique apartment projects.

Residents will also have access to a sauna and plunge baths, while landscaped gardens and relaxation zones will provide tranquil spaces overlooking sweeping panoramic views across the Gold Coast skyline.

The rooftop precinct has been designed to function as the social and wellness heart of the development, encouraging residents to embrace an active, balanced lifestyle within their own building.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363512]

Red &amp; Co director David Laverty said the amenity offering was central to the project’s design from the outset.

“Amenities were at the forefront of our decisions,” Laverty said.

“Buyers today are looking for more than just an apartment - they want a lifestyle that promotes health, connection and balance.

“The rooftop at COMO has been designed to be the epicentre of that lifestyle, with a suite of wellness and recreation facilities that are quite unique for a boutique development of this scale.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363514]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, the residences prioritise liveability, featuring spacious layouts, 2.7-metre ceilings and high-quality finishes throughout.

The development sits beside Bond University, placing residents within walking distance of education, retail and dining options within the vibrant Varsity Lakes precinct, including Robina Town Centre, Varsity Lakes Train Station and a range of leading schools.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363511]

Laverty said the location was a key driver behind Red &amp; Co’s decision to bring the project to the Gold Coast.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/varsity-lakes-qld-4227">Varsity Lakes</a> was a clear choice for us to invest in as it’s a lifestyle hub that seamlessly blends lakeside living with urbanity,” he said.&nbsp;

“Como will capitalize on this great location, delivering a project that not only creates premium homes, but a lifestyle defined by community, wellbeing, and connectivity.”

Red &amp; Co has delivered more than 500 apartments and townhouses across 26 projects in Brisbane in recent years, with COMO marking the company’s first major Gold Coast development.

Red & Co unveils amenity-rich Como development in Varsity Lakes

Melbourne Bayside

Having quietly evolved as one of the most sought-after suburbs in the Bayside area, the streets of Hampton are now home to some of Melbourne’s most exclusive and luxury residential projects.

On the fringes of the enviable Brighton, Hampton has positioned itself as offering the same exclusive Bayside lifestyle, at a more affordable price point than some of the high-end Melbourne suburbs carry.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93042 project_image_fid=193034]

Differentiating itself from the larger projects on the market in the area, the Riva Ridge-developed&nbsp;Soul Hampton offers just eight apartments across the site.

The group engaged locals, Finnis Architecture and Interiors to design the building, with the apartments incorporating&nbsp;natural stone and veneer timber paneling,&nbsp;packed with fine finishes and appliances.

Half of the residences have sold across the project, with local downsizers taking up the stock.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93042 project_image_fid=193039]

David Lamond from project marketer Noorden said Soul has seen very high interest from locals, who are looking to downsize without compromising on space and luxurious features.

“This is the ideal development where you can lock up and go away for the weekend or two.&nbsp;As small boutique developments are becoming harder to come by, this is a great time to secure your home whether it be downsizing or securing your luxurious Bayside Melbourne residence,” Lamond said.

“The people who have purchased so far are loving the idea of being so close to the Beach and part of only eight&nbsp;luxury homes. I am looking forward to working with each and every one of them through the process of Soul coming to life."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93042 project_image_fid=197035]

Just two expansive, two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments remain in Soul Hampton, along with a three-bedroom residence and an exclusive penthouse.

The two-bedroom apartments span 123 sqm, benefitting from an additional home office/study space.

The three-bedder finds its place on the ground floor of Soul Hampton, covering 146 sqm, adjoining to a large outdoor garden, with two-bathrooms, while the penthouse tops Soul Hampton, with views across the Bay, spanning 137 sqm, with home office/study space and two-bathrooms.

Shenfield Property's latest apartment and townhouse development Eva set to launch in Mentone

Sixth Ave is the latest Bayside development by the Aultun Group, who pride themselves on identifying development sites close to desirable amenities.

The 59 townhouse development in the sought-after Chelsea Heights&nbsp;has been designed in keeping with its Bayside location&nbsp;by Point Architects. Led by Edgar Grech, Sixth Ave was the first project in the area.

Urban recently sat down with Point Architects director Edgar Grech to discuss&nbsp;the design details of Sixth Ave.

JR: What was the brief of Sixth Ave from Aultun Group?&nbsp;

EG: To develop an open plan neighbourhood community that has active street presence. It was also important to develop efficient two&nbsp;and three&nbsp;bedroom housing for all cross sections of the community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=32136 project_image_fid=93835]

JR: Where did you take your inspiration from?

EG: Our inspiration was taken from a contemporary design approach&nbsp;

JR: What was the biggest challenge when designing Sixth Ave?

EG: Ensuring that the internal amenity had opportunity for substantial landscaping, that every residence had a sense of address and most dwellings provided the opportunity to have a backyard and sense of place.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=32136 project_image_fid=93832]

JR: What do you think buyers will like most about the design?

EG: The development provides design variety in dwelling sizes and bedroom numbers. It&rsquo;s not a generic one type design in floor plan and facade.&nbsp;

JR: How important was matching the townhouses to fit in with the Bayside suburb?

EG: It fits in form and scale, however, it provides a modern approach.

JR: How important was it to have sustainability features in the Sixth Ave townhomes?

EG: Sustainability is what we all want. We feel this is not an option but an integral part of the design.

JR: Which part of the project are you most looking forward to seeing when completed?

With more than 93 per cent of the sold apartments belonging to owner-occupiers, it&rsquo;s no question that the Highett project is favourable among this group.

&ldquo;At Vista, we have focused the design specifically to the owner-occupier market which has been very well received&rdquo;, Hallmarc&rsquo;s CEO Michael Loccisano said.

The project is the second stage of the Kingston Park master-planned community delivered by Hallmarc, combining convenience with comfort.

Architecturally designed, the project offers a range of floorplans and sizes across its 154 two-bedroom residences.

&ldquo;Apartment living requires more thought as to how it&#39;s configured and we&rsquo;ve incorporated just that - larger layouts, dedicated home office areas and open plan living, creating bright and welcoming spaces&rdquo;, said Loccisano.

Designed with timber flooring, plenty of storage and European appliances, the project boasts contemporary features while &ldquo;retaining an enviable cosiness&rdquo;, the project marketing reads.

&ldquo;Beyond Vista is the wonderful suburb of Highett where you have everything at your doorstep. It is a bustling area with a strong sense of community and so much to offer.&rdquo; Loccisano told Urban.

The bustling Highett and adjoining Bayside suburbs offer a strong sense of community and an abundance of lifestyle amenities.

Residents at Vista will have convenient access to the beach, extensive parklands, caf&eacute;s, bars and fitness options.

The Melbourne-based developer Lowe Living have only one apartment remaining in their luxury Bayside development Azura Aspendale, which saw solid sales growth despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Foster Street townhouse and apartment development was launched in March last year, the same month COVID had Australian's in lockdown. Within six months of the project launch, 26 of the 27 residences had sold.

Construction is well underway on Azura Aspendale, a mix of eight townhouses and 19 apartments created by design-studio Golden. They created the homes in collaboration with landscape architect Jack Merlo and Chamberlain Architects.The project is expected to be completed in late 2021.

Lowe Living Founder and managing director, Tim Lowe, said that the meticulous craftsmanship and unparalleled attention to detail of Azura Aspendale, combined with the elite location of pure beach- front living, will present a once in a lifetime opportunity for buyers.

“Azura Aspendale is inspired by its unique location,” Mr Lowe said. “Its sophistication and sensitivity to its surrounds is something we have not yet seen in beach-side living.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=26408]

“From the tranquillity afforded by spectacular use of light and space and its carefully crafted floorplans that promote open-plan living and connection to the outdoors, to its sleek, stylish and premium finishes, Azura Aspendale represents a new generation of high-end coastal living.”

“Its absolute beach front location, with supreme views of the bay, combined with its thoughtful design, makes Azura Aspendale one of a kind.”

Inspired by tropical modernism examples in Brazil and Asia, the material palette of concrete, red brick and timber, sits in harmony with the coastal landscape.

Jack Merlo has given great consideration to the coastal location, using feature foliage and greenery to link the landscape and architecture.

“One of the most unique aspects of Azura Aspendale is the relationship between architecture, landscaping and surrounds,” said Mr Lowe. “These elements have all been carefully considered to create a sense of tranquillity and a private sanctuary, nestled beside the beach.”

“With the beauty of Port Phillip Bay quite literally on your doorstep, and only a short walk to the vibrant eateries and cosmopolitan amenities of Aspendale and neighbouring suburbs, Azura Aspendale will give owners the rare opportunity to enjoy a sea change while not compromising on locale or quality."

Sixth Avenue is the newest development by the Melbourne developer Aultun&nbsp;Group.

The homes are part of a unique estate that has been designed by Point Architects to provide high quality living for the discerning owner occupier.&nbsp;

Consisting of a total of 59 townhouses, Sixth Ave. captivates modern design boasting a versatility of space and function, with light filled interiors superbly finished with high quality fixtures. Outside private expansive courtyards make for the perfect ultimate family lifestyle by the bay.&nbsp;

We sat down with Aultun Group managing director Bruce Yang to discuss Sixth Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=32136]

JR: What demographic was the development pitched at?

BY: The growing numbers of 25-58 year old bayside residences who wanted to keep the bayside lifestyle &amp; improve on their current living accommodation without moving out several suburbs. Therefore affordability was just as important as quality. The homes had to feel as much a part of the beach side living as they did family wise, inclusive of&nbsp;creature comforts that one would expect in a family home, for example great outdoor entertaining areas, well-appointed fittings &amp; fixtures to name a few.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

JR: What was the brief for Point Architects?

To embrace the bayside lifestyle, using colours of rammed earth &amp; beach tones. Create areas that are bright &amp; airy with room for growing families to entertain.

JR: Which part of the project are you most looking forward to seeing when completed?

Construction commences very shortly, so the time spent designing &amp; planning have come to an end and it&rsquo;s time for realisation. The collaboration of each stage of the development from the site acquisition to completion.

There are many hero moments, though the one that leaves me with goose bumps is seeing families move into their new homes. The buyers take the same experience as we do, they are in anticipation of the possibilities a new home brings.&nbsp; The joy of home ownership is right up there in one of the greatest experience of a lifetime. &nbsp;&nbsp;

JR: What will be the biggest drawcard for buyers to the project?

They say property is about three things, For us they are beach, transport &amp; amenities. What a perfect storm this is with style, quality &amp; affordability.

JR: How important is the Bayside location? And why as a development team have you decided to focus your projects in that area?

We love the South East &amp; Bayside, it&#39;s where Melburnians go to the beach be it for a day trip or week on the Peninsula. You will always find something new to do, surrounded by some of Melbourne&rsquo;s best government &amp; private schools, the new Mordialloc by-pass will also bring so much value to the area.

Our expectation is that we will see a sharp price increase in property values in Chelsea Heights end of 2022 start of 2023 when this project &amp; the Chelsea railway upgrade have been expected for completion.

The South East &amp; Bayside will always be a better investment not only financially also holistically &amp; social factors wise.&nbsp;
