Acquired by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/monaco-property-group">Monaco Property Group</a> in 2024 for $70 million, the rare 7,238 sqm Marine Parade parcel boasts more than 80 metres of uninterrupted ocean frontage.

With approvals now secured, Monaco Property Group will move NALU into its delivery phase. The project has been designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, who collaborated with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/ldg-landscape-architecture">LDG Landscape Architecture</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/tom-mark-henry">Tom Mark Henry Interiors</a>&nbsp;to create the low-rise building, its landscaping, and interiors.

Residences will range from 237 sqm layouts to beachfront homes exceeding 1,400 sqm.

At the heart of the project is a 2,200 sqm lifestyle precinct with a bathhouse, fitness centre and resort-style pool, elevated by a concierge service.

Jonathan Grasso, Co-Founder of Monaco Property Group, said the council approval marks an exciting milestone for NALU, which will launch in Q1 2026.

“The project will now progress toward construction, working alongside our world-class collaborators to bring NALU to life," Grasso said.

“Our vision is to create a legacy project for the Gold Coast, one that not only honours the history of the site but also elevates its future, setting a new standard for coastal living in Australia. NALU embodies the pinnacle of design and location and will stand as an enduring icon of prestige and liveability.”

Originally developed in the 1970s as Nobby’s Outlook and later refurbished in 2019 as Nalu, the property has long held a place in the local community’s coastal identity. The new vision will build on this legacy, creating luxury residences that capture ocean views while fostering a lifestyle defined by wellness, connection, and ease.&nbsp;

Beyond its residential offering, NALU will deliver significant economic benefits to the Gold Coast through job creation and opportunities for local suppliers and contractors. Construction is anticipated to commence in early 2026, with completion expected in Q3 2028.

Monaco Property Group approved for $500 million NALU apartments on Miami beach

The most elevated residential tower in Palm Beach, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/corallo-palm-beach-5-palm-beach-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">Corallo</a>, has officially launched this week, however only a handful of buyers will have an opportunity to buy in to the 17-storey project.

The $200 million mixed-use project includes ground floor dining and retail and is considered so valuable its developer, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/changfa-group">Changfa Group</a>, will be staging its release of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses to the market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=806]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> International, Director, David Higgins, said the development’s location just metres from the beach on the corner of Palm Beach Avenue and the Gold Coast Highway influenced the sculptural design by the acclaimed Plus Architecture studio.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> locals understand the rare opportunity here at Corallo, particularly being the tallest building in the suburb and its proximity to the beach and local restaurants, and they’ve represented the bulk of pre-launch enquiries,” Higgins said.

“The orientation of the apartments captures views of the coastline from Surfers Paradise to Currumbin, and the diversity of floor plans and apartment types provide an exceptional level of choice.

“The first release includes just 59 one-, two and three-bedroom apartments and two half-floor penthouses, with flexible use designed to appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors."

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=799]

In addition to the ground floor amenity, residents will also have access to a private dedicated wellness level offering 734 sqm of resort-style amenities including a pool, cold plunge, wet deck, steam room, sauna, gym, day bed, fire pit, barbecue area, dining area and yoga/stretch deck.

The project is located within walking distance of Tallebudgera Creek, Burleigh Heads village, Currumbin Alley and Palm Beach Currumbin High School. The Gold Coast Airport is under 10 minutes away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=814]

Higgins said Palm Beach remained a hotly contested suburb for home buyers, with prices doubling in the past five years.

“What makes Corallo so appealing to the local market is the diversity of apartment types and pricing, with one-bedroom apartments starting from $841,000 and two-bedroom apartments starting from $1.34 million,” he said.

“The ground floor retail and dining offering will further expand on Palm Beach’s village atmosphere and create a meeting place for locals, and those opportunities for connection are highly valued.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=807]

The on-site sales display, which includes a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, will be open until early works commence in Q1 2026. Each residence at Corallo will feature premium finishes including natural stone, artisanal brickwork, and warm copper accents.

Changfa Group has a two-decade history of delivering premium developments in Australia and internationally, having recently completed its collection of premium townhomes at Lyra, Hope Island, as well as apartment projects in Leichhardt, Carlingford, and Chatswood in New South Wales.

$200 million Corallo Palm Beach launches with limited apartment release

In a move that aligns with NSW's accelerated planning incentives for affordable housing, developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/the-one-collection">One Collection</a> has revised its Hills District apartment plans, and taken it to the NSW Government, to secure approval.

The developer, which is currently delivering Horizon Hurstville, is seeking to add 80 more apartments to its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-castle-hill-16-dawes-avenue-nsw-2154">Castle Hill development</a> near Castle Towers. They already have approval for 280 apartments across eight six-storey buildings.

<img alt="One Collection" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3c298ba-1cc5-4db7-9872-607c75f8ceca" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=wN9KpFIu5ENSGZLLsaZgXQHrXcwEO3Vd" />

Now on the desks of the NSW Department of Planning is 360 apartments, 48 of which will be dedicated to affordable housing.&nbsp;Affordable housing is to be “fully integrated within the building and visually indistinguishable,” according to the planning submission.

The 15,697 sqm block, an amalgamation of 16 sites, spans across Dawes Avenue, Hughes Avenue, and Camdan Crescent, sits 550m from Hills Showground Metro Station.&nbsp;

"The existing context is quickly changing from free-standing homes into residential flat buildings in line with the Hills Showground Precinct planning framework," Place Studio noted.

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3ec24948-c185-48fa-af8b-ed25adf302bf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.04%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=zNDX.IeRROX1RlDeYcS38xn8w_dqgU2t" />

They said the design was informed by the site's unique condition of having three street frontages and was developed to to respond sensitively to iots surrounding context.

"The design adopted a conventional perpendicular alignment to the primary street frontage. The massing of the development was carefully modulated to align with the evolving character of the neighbourhood. The design ensured that the scale was not excessive or out of context, but instead contributed to a cohesive urban form consistent with emerging developments in the area."

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f83ffdaa-f960-469d-b6fe-abcece57c9ef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.09%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4oKlCyfaKes7jLi1_EMoqa46w2h_YvDZ" />

The apartment mix will be 46 one-beds, 168 two-bed apartments, and 146 three-bedroom units, with 631 parking spaces proposed.

Along the street frontages, the building heights are four storeys with a 7.5 metre setback, and eight storeys with an 11.5 metre setback. It should cost about $150 million to build.

One Collection works hand-in-hand with the respected development and construction firm Masscon, which has built a reputation for leveraging its expertise in the built environment to take on developments others can't. That's what they're achieving at Horizon Hurstville, having taken over the project to deliver it.

At Yarra’s Edge, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a>’s newest tower under construction, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/trielle-at-yarra-s-edge-docklands-16-point-park-crescent-docklands-vic-3008">Trielle</a>, sets a new benchmark for elevated living. Rising 45 storeys, 12.5 metres from the Yarra River, the landmark building offers residents access to a private wellness retreat and spa, a resident-only golf simulator, and an elegant lounge, dining and bar complete with a self-playing piano, all without ever having to leave home.

Now, that sense of elevation has reached new heights with the Aerus Sub-Penthouses, a limited release of half-floor riverfront residences on the Collins St axis where the sought-after street meets the Yarra River.

Each Aerus Sub-Penthouse, located across levels 42 and 43, represents the most expansive offering within Trielle, aside from the yet-to-be-revealed crowning penthouses. Spanning between 269 and 301 sqm, these residences are designed to capture natural light and uninterrupted views of the city skyline, Yarra River, and Port Phillip Bay.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3784]

Among the collection are three-bedroom sub penthouses, complemented by a media room, and expansive four-bedroom layouts. All include panoramic living areas and oversized master suites with luxury ensuites reminiscent of a five-star hotel, complemented by dedicated dressing rooms finished in timber and natural stone.

The interiors have been crafted by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/mirvac-design">Mirvac Design</a>, the developer’s award-winning in-house architecture and design team. Every material has been chosen for quality and longevity, from sculpted stone island benches with feature soft wash LED lighting to bespoke joinery and chevron timber oak flooring.

Kitchens are fitted with a BORA induction cooktop with integrated downdraft extractor, alongside Gaggenau appliances, including a fridge, freezer, and wine fridge. The adjoining butler’s pantry incorporates the exclusive Gaggenau Minimalistic Series including oven, steam oven, microwave, coffee machine and warming drawer, all concealed behind handleless glass panels for a clean, integrated presentation. Bathrooms feature custom Apaisar freestanding baths and basins and natural stone benchtops, continuing Mirvac’s design emphasis on tactile, timeless materials.&nbsp;

<img alt="Trielle at Yarra's Edge, Docklands" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c00be724-b0f1-47c0-afed-54f829870704" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Aerus%20sub-penthouse.png?VersionId=Uktd61kpLSqNjwJeDFs7IaZ3xgLlDQmu" />

Michael Wiener, Design Director at Mirvac, says The Aerus Sub-Penthouse embodies the apex of Mirvac’s design ethos.

“Moving through your home is like walking on air - a private sanctuary where the craftsmanship is refined, the proportions generous, and the flow so effortless, you feel completely at ease in the sky,” Wiener says.

“In Aerus, we wanted to create a sense of weightlessness - a home that feels suspended in the skyline, full of light, grounded in luxury.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3777]

The Aerus Sub-Penthouses are expected to attract a mix of local and international buyers seeking a long-term residence of scale and quality in a riverfront setting, from returning expats to established families and business owners who value privacy, craftsmanship, and convenience within walking distance of the CBD.

With an unmatched suite of amenities, Trielle is the most extensively appointed development Mirvac has created to date at Yarra’s Edge. Within the tower will be The Oasis, a 900 sqm podium rooftop wellness retreat designed in collaboration with spa expert Naomi Gregory. Located seven storeys above the Yarra River promenade, it features a 25-metre lap pool, spa and sauna, hot magnesium spa, biophilic gym, yoga and Pilates studio, cold-pail contrast treatment, and day spa treatment rooms. Further amenities include a piano lounge, bookable dining room, cinema room, golf simulator studio, games room, teppanyaki bar, dog wash bay, and two flexible work hubs, The Biblioteca library and Mills Place office space, catering to residents’ evolving lifestyle needs.

Construction of the $350 million tower is underway through Mirvac’s in-house construction arm, with completion anticipated for mid-2027.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/jwland-development">JWLand</a>’s De Burgh, the final residential release within the Northbourne Village precinct in Lyneham, is nearing completion just as the Federal Government’s Home Guarantee Scheme prepares for its most significant expansion to date.&nbsp;

From October 2025, the scheme will allow first home buyers to enter the market with just a five per cent deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), removing some of the most common barriers to ownership.

With <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/de-burgh-at-northbourne-village-40-de-burgh-street-lyneham-act-2602">De Burgh</a> on track for residents to move in by late spring 2025, the timing creates a strong opportunity for first home buyers seeking brand-new apartments in Canberra’s sought-after Inner North.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=212888]

The project delivers 350 residences across two buildings, with layouts ranging from compact studios through to one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.

JWLand has tailored the development for long-term liveability, integrating natural light, privacy and outdoor space into each home. Ground-floor residences feature private courtyards, while upper levels benefit from generous balconies.

Kitchens are fitted with Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, and all apartments include ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning with smartphone app control for lighting and climate.&nbsp;

Shared resident facilities include a rooftop garden, gym, lounge and parcel lockers, alongside landscaped green space within the precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=267376]

For buyers, the expanded Home Guarantee Scheme removes income caps and introduces unlimited places, making it more accessible than ever. With most De Burgh apartments priced under $1 million, they fall well within the updated eligibility thresholds.

The policy changes provide first home buyers with greater certainty and a smoother path to finance. Combined with the quality and location of De Burgh, the expanded scheme is expected to draw a new wave of buyers to Canberra’s Inner North.

Residents will benefit from the project’s central setting, just 600 metres from the light rail and three kilometres from Canberra’s CBD. The precinct is bordered by the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/lyneham-act-2602">Lyneham</a> wetlands and sits within easy reach of cafes, restaurants, schools and the ANU.

With completion scheduled for late 2025, De Burgh is set to be among the first major apartment projects to meet the expanded scheme head-on, offering first-time buyers a realistic pathway to ownership in one of Canberra’s most connected neighbourhoods.

Mirvac reveal Future Ready Display Home at The Fabric in Altona North

When you step foot in Hampton it’s hard to believe you’re still in metropolitan Melbourne. Long a retreat for wealthy city dwellers looking to bathe or picnic by the sea, the unassuming suburb has pivoted from holiday destination to a prized urban postcode. And despite being located just 14-kilometres from the CBD, Hampton feels like it’s a world away from the confines of the concrete jungle.&nbsp;

On the radar to join the ranks of residences lining the streets of Hampton - and exclusively listed on Urban - comes 37 Prince Street, a new Bayside townhouse development targeting the family owner-occupier.&nbsp;

37 Prince Street is home to only four townhouses, each enjoying the all important family feature of private double garages and secure entrances, which Noorden Property Director David Lamond says is a very unusual proposition.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=133897 project_image_fid=205253]

“37 Prince St presents as a great opportunity for someone to secure a property in Hampton for under $2 million, while still giving you plenty of space for the family along with a north-facing backyard,” Lamond said.&nbsp;

Further adding to the drawcard for family-occupiers Lamond says is the Bayside development’s proximity to some of the city’s most prestigious educational offerings.&nbsp;

“The site is very close to the best private schools that Bayside has to offer, with Haileybury and St Leonards, all the way through to Hampton Primary School.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=133897 project_image_fid=205254]

Each townhouse spans nearly 200 sqm of internal living area across three levels, as well as a front and backyard.&nbsp;

The ground floor will house the open plan living, kitchen and dining space, along with an ensuited bedroom and a powder room, while the additional two bedrooms will be included across the first floor, along with a second living space and a bathroom.

Townhouses one, two and three will also include first floor master-bedrooms suites where townhouse four is designed with a ground level master.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=133897 project_image_fid=205255]

With the developers having successfully completed a number of large building projects throughout Melbourne since 1996, including Willow at 60 Islington Street Collingwood, Lamond suggests the level of fixtures and finishes are beyond what you would expect in the area. &nbsp;

Internally, the townhouses will feature gas fireplaces, along with the latest QASAIR and Miele appliances in the kitchens, which are completed with an integrated fridge and freezer.&nbsp;

Buyers are now able secure a townhouse with huge stamp duty savings, with construction scheduled to begin in February next year.&nbsp;

Why local owner-occupiers are snapping up Port Lane townhomes in Port Melbourne

Sixth Avenue, delivered by the Aultun Group, was one of Urban&#39;s most popular projects among first home buyers and investors in the first half of 2021. In fact it was so popular that the most recent Stage 3 was launched ahead of schedule.

The collection of 59 two, three and four-bedroom townhomes offers ideal bayside living, designed by renowned Point Architects.

Set in Chelsea Heights, the near coastal suburb south-east of Melbourne, Sixth Avenue features light-filled interiors, bespoke landscaping and recreational amenities within easy reach. &nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=32136 project_image_fid=93831]

The contemporary design boasts customisable floorplans, split system air-conditioning and thermal insulation for comfort.&nbsp;

Engineered oak timber flooring can be found throughout the living areas, with large format tiles in all bathrooms. Frameless walk-in showers and bespoke floating vanities are representative of the home&#39;s modern design.

Floor Plan options still available for purchase:

<ul>
	<li>Two bed, one bath, one parking spaces, 96 sqm, $630,000</li>
	<li>Three bed, two bath, one/two parking spaces, 195 sqm, $730,000</li>
</ul>

[smartcode_project:default project_id=32136 project_image_fid=93832]

Aultun has been environmentally conscious in their approach to the townhomes. Each townhome is fitted with water-efficient tapware and showerheads, as well as energy-efficient LED lighting. &nbsp;

The townhome&#39;s modern design boasts light filled interiors finished with high quality fixtures, like crisp tapware. There are Artusi appliances in each kitchen, with stone benchtops and porcelain splashbacks.

Each home features landscaped gardens, with recycled water by Melbourne Water for garden irrigation.

The four bedroom townhouses have sold out. Sixth Avenue is offering its final two and three bedders, priced from $630,000 and ranging to&nbsp;$730,000.

Floorplan Focus: A look at the final townhouses on offer at Sixth Avenue in Chelsea Heights

With Melbourne&#39;s rolling lockdowns, and the want for more space over the last 18 months, townhouses have become one of the most in demand properties across the state.

Icon Developments Scott Jarzynka says townhomes have become a favourite for young families, as the local high-density dwellings currently available on the market don&#39;t offer the space they need.

&quot;This demographic of home buyers are wanting to stay in the inner-city, with the convenience of local public transport and parks,&quot; Jarzynka says.

&quot;Townhomes are the answer, providing a great location, convenience to their lifestyle and space.&quot;

Nat Eisen, at Eisen Property,&nbsp;&nbsp;says he&#39;s seen demand heighten for townhouses and larger apartments, with the latest rounds of COVID lockdowns not dampening buyer appetite.

&quot;We noticed stronger enquiry during lockdown, with those stuck at home researching real estate and wanting more space,&quot; Eisen says.

Eisen has been marketing the boutique townhouse development Inkerman &amp; Nelson in Balaclava, selling nearly all of its 27 townhouses, with just two remaining.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=25572 project_image_fid=87503]

Icon Developments had MAArchitects design the townhouses solely for the owner-occupier. Each townhouse, set in gardens landscaped by Eckersley Garden Architecture,&nbsp;has two or three levels, three or four-bedrooms, and two parking spots.

Icon say that Eckersley&#39;s&nbsp;distinct interpretation of &ldquo;family&rdquo; styled gardens moves away from traditional multi-residential landscaping, to ensure each space is made to feel like a stand-alone home.

Eisen says&nbsp;most of the buyers have been young families who live in the area who put location and lifestyle above everything.

But there&#39;s also been appetite from double income professionals who are looking to upsize locally.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=25572 project_image_fid=87502]

&quot;Most buyers have a strong connection to the location. They&nbsp;want&nbsp;something familiar and want to stay in the area.

&quot;Buyers are weighing up whether they buy a house further out or&nbsp;a townhouse closer to the city,&quot; Eisen said.

&quot;With established homes, buyers move in and might have to renovate, whereas buying off the plan and brand new, buyers can move in with ease, which is great for those families with young kids.&quot;

Eisen says buyers at Inkerman &amp; Nelson have appreciated the ability to personalise the townhouses, with the flexi-rooms on offer generally converted in to home offices.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=25572 project_image_fid=87507]

&quot;Most of the buyers intend to work from home in some capacity&quot;, Eisen noted.

One of the key drivers&nbsp;has been Inkerman &amp; Nelson has been the fact it is a well-priced product in a sought-after, expensive area.

While not being at the bottom end of the affordability scale with prices starting from $1,285,000, it&#39;s still considerably less than the entry level of the surrounding bayside suburbs of the pricey Bayside Brighton and St Kilda West.

Eisen says overall, he is seeing strong interest from all segments, from first home buyers to downsizers, with investors creeping back in to the market.

Townhouse demand heightens as Inkerman & Nelson in Balaclava nears sell-out

Coastal living just minutes from Melbourne's CBD offers a life of unparalleled enjoyment.

Port Lane in Port Melbourne is located within walking distance from the beauty of the beach and the business of the city.

ID_Land, listed among&nbsp;Urban’s list of 10 developers to watch in Victoria this year, are behind the Williamstown Road development.

Award-winning architects Rothelowman draw on Port Lane's beachside location. Rothelowman&nbsp;worked in lockstep with interior designers Hecker Guthrie and landscape consultants Tract to create a development that is&nbsp;authentic and distinctive,&nbsp;all while <a href="/news/vic/port-lane-the-development-where-the-highest-price-point-is-lower-than-port-melbournes-median">priced&nbsp;lower than Port Melbourne's median</a>.

With a star studded cast coming together to create Port Lane, Urban took a look at its five most luxurious features.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89720 project_image_fid=147504]

<h2>1. Excellent exteriors</h2>

Designed by&nbsp;Rothelowman, the exteriors of each of the 122&nbsp;three-bedroom townhouses complement the coastal surrounds.

A verdant entrance pergola marks the entrance of Port Lane with curated landscaping framing&nbsp;the townhomes themselves.

The material palette of crisp white juxtaposed against warm timber tones and green accents is a nod to the site’s heritage.

Secure car parking, flexible floorplans and manicured gardens are among the development’s many offerings. &nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89720 project_image_fid=147505]

<h2>2. Carefully designed interiors with floorplans of choice</h2>

“Creating spaces that evoke an atmospheric interior experience, Port Lane celebrates light, softness, subtlety and shifting forms”, said the interior designer, Paul Hecker of&nbsp;Hecker Guthrie.

The home’s considered design features an abundance of light and space to allow for private moments, outdoor entertaining areas and&nbsp;fluted glass to mimic the reflective water of the Bay.

There are six&nbsp;different floorplans on offer, Harbour Mist, Calm Shore, Sea Breeze, City Light, Parkside Green and Morning Dew. They range in size from 189 sqm to as large as 260 sqm with spaces curated to match any lifestyle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89720 project_image_fid=147506]&nbsp;

<h2>3. Clean Aesthetic</h2>

Interior designers at Hecker Guthrie described the aesthetic as, "refreshingly contemporary, yet timeless and classic."

The bathroom has been crafted for comfort and thoughtfully designed for ease of living. A minimal design creates an orderly space, complemented by luxurious details including walk-in showers, a large bath and premium finishes.

Hazy thresholds are united with timber floorboards and joinery, whilst large windows create a relaxed ambiance. A smooth transition to the terrace creates an&nbsp;entertaining area for friends and family alike.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89720 project_image_fid=147515]

<h2>4. Bayside location synergy</h2>

Just moments from the&nbsp;waters of Port Phillip Bay and lights of Melbourne’s CBD, Port Lane’s unique aesthetic emulates the qualities of its surrounds. The extraordinary level of synergy with its location flows through every detail of each townhome to create an&nbsp;atmosphere of coastal living that screams Port Melbourne.&nbsp;

The development at 201 Williamstown Road takes a prime position allowing owners to spend&nbsp;weekends exploring the bayside location, out on the water or relaxing at the beach. Walk to&nbsp;Fishermans Bend, Sandridge Beach,&nbsp;South Melbourne&nbsp;Market or meander along the Bay Trail.

Whichever direction you walk in, you're spoilt for choice, with lush parks and gardens for relaxing, trails for exploring and the Royal Botanic gardens to enjoy an afternoon picnic or bike ride.&nbsp;

It is a&nbsp;less than five minute walk to the Port Melbourne dog beach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89720 project_image_fid=147508]

<h2>5. Tour individual&nbsp;curated gardens</h2>

Selected by landscape architects, Tract, the development features a mix of native plants suited to the coastal environment.

Designed to soften the modern architecture, Tract’s landscaping sits in harmony with&nbsp;Port Melbourne biosphere as a whole&nbsp;and contrasts with the built form of the homes.

The three bedroom, two bathroom homes&nbsp;start from $1,025,000.
