Repeat buyers are one of the strongest measures of confidence in any apartment development.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/era-newcastle-west-124-126-bull-street-newcastle-west-nsw-2302">ERA</a> in Newcastle West, some purchasers are returning to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gwh">GWH</a> after living at the developer's One Apartments. Their decision to purchase again was driven by the quality of life they found after moving into their first GWH home.

Keith Wilton had spent years living in a house in East Maitland before deciding it was time for a change. Apartment living had always been on his radar, but he was selective about what he wanted.

"I had some boxes I wanted to tick," he says.

Keith points to the open-plan design, generous outdoor areas and considered inclusions as key reasons One Apartments worked for him.

“One of those things was a nice indoor open plan area, but also I wanted a nice outdoor open area that I could entertain on in summer or Christmases or birthdays,” he says.

He also found value in the smaller details, from integrated appliances to shared resident spaces including the pool, cinema and rooftop areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356818]

After comparing several developments, he chose One Apartments because of GWH's longstanding local reputation and his own experience working with the developer on a commercial project more than a decade earlier.

"I knew that they were local, that the quality of the build was going to be up there. I'd looked at other apartment complexes around and close by, and I just knew that here was a better decision location wise."

Today, Keith says the move has completely changed how he experiences Newcastle.

"I enjoy living in this location because it's more of a lifestyle change. That Newcastle city living where you can walk to restaurants and bars and even beaches and parks and even shopping across the road."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356828]

Beyond the location, he says it's the sense of community that has surprised him most.

"Everyone loves living here because they chose to live here, but everyone looks out for each other. It's a real great community feel here."

For Aimee and Lyle Goodman, the journey started almost by chance.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tsioMLcnjas?si=zq-ys3JuWpfa5hFv" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

The couple happened to be having coffee in Newcastle when they noticed the site where One Apartments was about to begin construction.

"We were aware GWH was planning a development," Aimee says. "We made one phone call and things moved pretty quickly after that."

As busy business owners, they initially thought apartment living would simply reduce the maintenance that came with larger homes. Instead, it fundamentally changed how they spent time together.

"We actually catch up more as a family now," Aimee says.

"We've had homes with big yards and lots of space, but everyone ended up in different rooms. Here we'll have dinner together, the kids can play, and we spend far more quality time together."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356829]

Lyle says their confidence came from GWH's reputation within Newcastle's building industry.

"I know people who've worked across different apartment projects, and whenever GWH came up the feedback was always the same. They're rock solid. They're quality."

That confidence only grew throughout the buying process.

"One of the things that really impressed us with GWH was the whole process, was the communication," Lyle says. "It was consistent, it was regular, there was no problem if we had some weird questions, there was no problems in getting answers."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=351104]

Aimee says one moment stood out.

"The project actually finished on time. We realised we needed to hurry up and sell our house because everything was happening exactly when they said it would."

The positive experience at One Apartments ultimately gave all three buyers the confidence to purchase again with GWH, this time at ERA.

Their confidence reflects what many buyers are seeking in today's apartment market. Location remains important, but so too does certainty around delivery, quality and long-term liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356822]

ERA builds on those foundations with 280 one, two and three-bedroom apartments across two landmark towers in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/newcastle-west-nsw-2302">Newcastle West</a>.&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fk-australia">Fender Katsalidis</a>, the project will include more than 2,000 square metres of resident amenities, including a resort-style pool, gym, sauna, private cinema and rooftop entertaining spaces overlooking the harbour and coastline.&nbsp;

The development is also within walking distance of the Newcastle Interchange, Honeysuckle, Darby Street, the harbour foreshore, restaurants, retail and the city’s beaches, continuing the walkable lifestyle that existing GWH buyers say has transformed how they live.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356826]

For Keith, the appeal remains straightforward.

"You feel at home even before you've moved into your home."

For Aimee, the change is measured in time.

“I just felt like I had more time,” she says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=351102]

Construction at ERA is now underway, with more than half of the residences already sold and limited two and three-bedroom apartments remaining in the East Tower release. Priced from $980,000 for two-bedroom residences and $1.46 million for three-bedroom residences, buyers can secure an apartment with a 10 per cent deposit, with premium homes offering ocean views from Level 8 and harbour views from Level 10.

ERA is also backed by Resilience Insurance's 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy, providing protection against structural or waterproofing defects for 10 years after completion. The project is anticipated to be completed in early 2028.

From ONE to ERA: Why buyers are choosing GWH again in Newcastle West

Virgate Property Group is preparing to commence construction of Verdé, its new apartment development in Melbourne's Arts Precinct at Southbank, following a strong run of sales that has seen more than half of the project's 173 apartments secured.

Verdé has attracted a broad mix of first home buyers, owner-occupiers upgrading from nearby inner-city suburbs and investors, with younger owner-occupier couples aged between 28 and 45 accounting for the strongest enquiry. Many are already living in Southbank, South Melbourne, Albert Park, Port Melbourne, South Yarra and the CBD.

"Verdé is located in one of the most desirable pockets of southern Melbourne," Blair Property Group Director Darren Blair, who is managing sales at Verdé, said.

"It's within walking distance of the Arts Centre, Royal Botanic Gardens, Albert Park Lake, and Southbank's restaurants and retail. It's a great lifestyle location with strong amenity and liveability, which made it a very attractive choice for the project."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=372549]

Virgate was already familiar with the precinct, having previously delivered the successful Domain House development in neighbouring South Melbourne. That experience gave the developer confidence to acquire the Coventry Street site and continue expanding its presence in Melbourne's inner south.

"We had been keeping an eye on the site and the broader precinct for a few months before deciding to move forward with the acquisition," Virgate said.

The project was ultimately secured in 2020 following feasibility studies, planning assessments and due diligence, with the brief centred on delivering "a high-quality, considered design that feels both refined and fit for purpose."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=314259]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bruce-henderson-architects">Bruce Henderson Architects</a>, Verdé comprises 173 one, two and three-bedroom apartments priced from $599,000. The architecture is distinguished by a faceted glass façade that responds to both the site's outlook and Melbourne's changing light conditions.

According to Bruce Henderson Architects, the coloured glazing gives the building a distinctive identity while also providing privacy and solar shading, with residences oriented to capture views across the bay, city skyline and surrounding parklands.

Inside, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/designoffice">DesignOffice</a> has created interiors focused on natural light, efficient planning and enduring materials. Apartments feature engineered oak flooring, natural stone benchtops, floor-to-ceiling glazing and SMEG appliances, while a restrained material palette aims to complement the expansive outlooks rather than compete with them.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=372550]

Resident amenity has also been designed around everyday functionality rather than occasional use. Facilities include a concierge-serviced lobby, residents' lounge with fireplace, library and co-working space, gym, terrace garden with barbecue facilities, ground-floor café, and package delivery management.

The project's location continues to be one of its strongest drawcards. Positioned on Coventry Street, Verdé sits within walking distance of the National Gallery of Victoria, Arts Centre Melbourne, Royal Botanic Gardens and Albert Park Lake, while Southbank's dining precinct, Sturt Street trams and the new ANZAC Station are all nearby. The surrounding education catchment also includes Melbourne Grammar, Melbourne Girls Grammar, Mac.Robertson Girls' High School and several major university campuses.

The sales team says buyers have responded particularly well to the combination of location, design quality and long-term liveability.

"They're responding really positively to the quality of the design, premium resident amenities and the uninterrupted views. Many also appreciate the location and how connected it is to everything they need."

The ability to secure stamp duty savings before completion has also been a key factor for purchasers, alongside the opportunity to personalise finishes ahead of settlement.

With construction set to commence soon and more than half the apartments already sold, Verdé enters its next phase as one of the Arts Precinct's more established apartment developments, offering remaining buyers an opportunity to secure a residence before construction advances further. Expected completion is scheduled for late 2027.

Virgate's Verdé Southbank moves toward construction as sales fly past halfway stage

Downsizer-focused apartment development Kooyongkoot in Hawthorn has been recognised at the 2026 Better Future Melbourne Design Awards, taking home Gold and Silver awards in two categories.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kooyongkoot-hawthorn-1-kooyongkoot-road-hawthorn-vic-3122">Kooyongkoot</a>, currently being delivered by developer PQD and designed by Cera Stribley, received Gold in the Interior Design – Proposed category and Silver in the Architecture – Proposed category.

The dual recognition reflects the design approach behind the boutique development on prestigious Kooyongkoot Road, where the focus has been on creating homes for downsizers seeking the space, quality and functionality of a detached house within a low-rise apartment building.

Rather than maximising apartment numbers, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/pqd">PQD</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a> limited the development to just 18 residences, allowing for larger floorplans, greater privacy, generous landscaping and expansive communal spaces.&nbsp;The majority of the apartments also benefit from corner aspects, allowing for dual sources of natural light.

Now around 70 per cent complete and on track for completion in November 2026, Kooyongkoot will comprise a mix of garden residences, ter​race apartments, sub-penthouses, and is crowned by two half-floor penthouses with direct lift access and private rooftop terraces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355297]

The Silver Award for Architecture recognised the way the building responds to its prominent corner position at the ent​rance to Hawthorn's Scotch Hill precinct, one of Melbourne's most established residential neighbourhoods.

Rather than competing with the grand homes that line Kooyongkoot Road, the architectural approach focused on restraint and longevity, using curved brickwork, generous landscaping and carefully considered proportions to integrate with the existing streetscape.

"The form feels fluid and timeless, as though shaped by the landscape itself – architecture that belongs, rather than competes," said Chris Stribley, Co-Founder and Managing Principal of Cera Stribley.

The judging submission also highlighted practical innovations throughout the building, including lift cores servicing only nine homes each, a central landscaped lightcourt designed to bring daylight and ventilation into the building, and fully enclosed private storage rooms with lighting, power and shelving to better accommodate residents transitioning from larger family homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355293]

The Gold Award for Interior Design recognised the project's focus on long-term liveability rather than display-home aesthetics.

According to the awards submission, the interiors were designed from the inside out, prioritising how homes would function over decades of daily use through generous proportions, practical storage, durable natural materials and flexible layouts.

The specification includes natural stone throughout, upgraded acoustic glazing, V-ZUG appliances and fully enclosed storage rooms, alongside an amenity offering focused on wellness, entertainment and everyday convenience.&nbsp;

Residents will have access to a gym and yoga studio, a wellness centre featuring traditional and infrared saunas, a cold therapy shower and treatment room, as well as a residents' lounge and golf simulator/cinema room for entertainment.&nbsp;Kooyongkoot has also considered the everyday convenience of its residents by offering a private carwash and pet wash facilities on site as well as dedicated parcel lockers and oversized fully enclosed storage rooms.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355303]

The project's attention to detail has already resonated with buyers. Earlier this year, Kooyongkoot recorded one of Boroondara's highest apartment sales when an $8 million penthouse was purchased by a Melbourne CEO downsizing from a nearby family home.

"Every detail feels deliberate, from the overall design down to the smallest touches," the purchaser said.

"The level of quality and refinement is exceptional, but what really sold it was how liveable it felt... It felt like a place where everything had been considered, not just a luxury building."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355304]

Sustainability also formed a key part of both award submissions. Kooyongkoot is targeting a minimum 7.5-star NatHERS rating across all residences, supported by passive design principles, high-performance glazing, EV charging infrastructure, water reuse systems and a wellness model focused on lower-energy dry facilities rather than pools and large wet areas.

Located within walking distance of Scotch College, Methodist Ladies' College, Koo​yong Lawn Tennis Club, Aubur​n Village and Camberwell Junction, Kooyongkoot continues to target owner-occupiers looking to remain in Melbourne's inner east without compromising on space or quality. A limited selection of two, three and four-bedroom residences remains available, with prices starting from $1.9 million.

Kooyongkoot wins Gold and Silver at Better Future Melbourne Design Awards

New apartment supply has become increasingly constrained across <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/parramatta-nsw-2150">Parramatta</a> in recent years, with fewer projects progressing through to completion as development conditions have become more challenging.

It makes <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/novm">NOVM</a>'s 2021-completed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/the-lennox-parramatta-12-phillip-street-parramatta-nsw-2150">The Lennox</a> one of the most recently completed residential towers on the Parramatta River, and among the newest apartment developments in Sydney's second CBD.

With the project largely completed before the sharp escalation in construction costs and inflation following the pandemic, The Lennox is now offering pricing that would be difficult to replicate in a comparable new development in Parramatta today, or across much of Western Sydney.

The majority of the 413 apartments at The Lennox sold before and shortly after completion. A limited release of the remaining apartments has recently been brought to market by capital partner <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/equitifund-group">Equitifund</a>, with entry-level pricing from $700,000 and two-bedroom apartments available from under $1 million.

Rising above the Parramatta River at 12 Phillip Street, The Lennox comprises one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, appealing to first home buyers, young professionals, families, downsizers and interstate investors seeking a completed apartment in one of Australia's fastest-growing economic centres.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=372394]

Rather than positioning Parramatta as an alternative to Sydney's CBD, Equitifund believes the city has reached a point where it stands on its own merits.

"Parramatta is no longer simply an alternative to Sydney CBD, it's becoming a destination in its own right," Equitifund Executive Chairman Greg Huxley said.

"The Lennox captures that evolution with a level of quality and amenity that's difficult to match at its price point."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=953]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/marchese-partners">Marchese Partners</a>, the tower responds directly to its riverfront setting through expansive glazing and open-plan layouts that maximise views across the Parramatta River and city skyline. Interiors feature engineered timber flooring, stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances and floor-to-ceiling glazing, while generous balconies extend the living spaces outdoors.

Marchese Partners says the project was conceived to balance high-quality apartment living with practical, long-term functionality, pairing larger, efficient floorplans with amenities more commonly associated with five-star hotels.

That emphasis continues through the resident facilities, which include a 20-metre rooftop swimming pool, fully equipped gym and wellness spaces, full-time concierge, a residents' lounge, function room, private lifts, secure basement parking and rooftop communal areas overlooking the Parramatta River. Ground-floor boardwalk retail and dining further activate the riverfront and integrate the building into the surrounding public realm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=925]

Australian housing and finance group Equitifund has secured the remaining apartments, believing there are few completed apartment opportunities in Parramatta that offer the same combination of location, amenity and pricing.

Equitifund National Sales Director Ben Hamblett says buyers are increasingly recognising that premium apartment living no longer needs to come with Sydney CBD pricing.

"The Lennox is where aspirational living becomes attainable," Hamblett said.

"Wake to river and mountain views, step into Sydney's Second CBD, and arrive home to resort-calibre amenities, all without the harbour price tag."

Hamblett says owner-occupiers are also attracted by the convenience of having Westfield Parramatta, Church Street's dining precinct, Parramatta Park, Riverside Theatres, Western Sydney University and major transport connections all within walking distance.

"At The Lennox, lifestyle is not an afterthought, it is the foundation."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=5374]

The Lennox places residents within walking distance of Parramatta Square, Westfield Parramatta, Church Street Eat Street, Parramatta Station, the ferry wharf, Light Rail, the future Sydney Metro West, Parramatta Park and CommBank Stadium, reinforcing Parramatta's position as one of Australia's most connected metropolitan centres outside Sydney's CBD.

Equitifund says buyers visiting the display suite consistently comment on the quality of the finishes, generous floorplans, river and skyline views, and the walkability of the location. The project has attracted a broad mix of local professionals, upsizers, downsizers, buyers relocating from Sydney's inner suburbs and interstate investors seeking long-term growth opportunities.

That demand aligns with Parramatta's continued evolution as an economic powerhouse. Equitifund Research and Market Insights specialist John Bekiaris says sustained population growth, infrastructure investment and expanding employment opportunities continue to support long-term housing demand across the city.

"Parramatta has evolved from a satellite city into one of Australia's most important economic centres. Population growth, infrastructure investment and employment are all supporting sustained long-term housing demand."

The apartment price gap drawing Sydney buyers west

A luxury beachfront apartment at Rainbow Bay has more than doubled in value since it sold off the plan six years ago, setting a new local apartment record in the process.

The three-bedroom apartment in the Flow development on Petrie Street, the first of four new projects locally by Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Projects, has sold for $7.4 million, after originally selling for $3.27 million when the project launched in 2020.

The seventh-floor apartment, comprising 187 sqm of internal living space and a 54 sqm balcony overlooking Froggies Beach and Snapper Rocks, was purchased by a local family.

The transaction was negotiated by Pezet Matheson director Kerry Pezet and equates to more than $30,000 per sqm.

Pezet said the sale reflected the limited opportunities to buy into the boutique beachfront development.

"The sale highlights the rarity of opportunities within the boutique beachfront development, where residences seldom become available," Pezet said.

"Flow is one of the Gold Coast's most tightly held buildings. Buyers from our database move quickly when residences become available, and achieving an off-market sale at $7.4 million demonstrates the depth of demand for property of this calibre."

<img alt="Flow" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c585b206-2130-4eee-a50c-3f27c51a7c70" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-06%20at%208.33.25%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=m3pHRDV62Y3fvN.XQuQHq.52ilTWpRLf" />

Flow was the first of four luxury apartment developments delivered by Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Projects at Rainbow Bay and was completed in 2023.

Positioned on the beachfront overlooking Snapper Rocks, the residence includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a powder room and views stretching north along the coastline towards Surfers Paradise.

Pezet Matheson Residential principal Mitchell Lambert said buyers continued to prioritise quality beachfront apartments in tightly held locations.

"Flow Residences offers a rare combination of elevated beachfront positioning, architectural excellence, comprehensive resident amenity and premium finishes, which is exactly what discerning purchasers are seeking," Lambert said.

"The transaction further reinforces Rainbow Bay's reputation as one of Australia's premier coastal lifestyle destinations, where limited supply and growing demand continue to support strong market performance."

Pezet Matheson originally marketed and sold out Flow off the plan, making the latest transaction a return to one of the project's original buyers.

Paul Gedoun is selling his third project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/radia-rainbow-bay-271-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Radia Rainbow Bay</a>, after recently completing, and selling out, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/esprit-217-227-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Esprit</a>.

Mirvac

This week marks the opening of their 9 new apartments for young women experiencing homelessness&nbsp;&nbsp;

Opening September 17, <a href="https://bridgeit.org.au/">Bridge It</a>, a charity providing homes for young women (ages 17-21) who have experienced the out-of-home care system or homelessness, has partnered with <a href="https://www.housingfirst.org.au/work-with-us">HousingFirst</a> to extend their capacity from 7 to 16 studio apartments within their supportive housing program, “The Cocoon.”&nbsp;

With 38,000 young people aged 15–24 years sleeping on the streets, couch surfing, and shelter hopping, heavily impacted by the exponential rise in rental prices, coupled with record-low vacancy rates, Bridge It’s CEO and founder, Carla Raynes can see clear gaps in government funding and policy that leaves residents like hers falling through the cracks.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"With systemic underfunding across the homelessness sector, radical collaboration is key. We simply can’t expect the government alone to fix this crisis,” states Carla. “Our goal at Bridge It is to replicate Cocoon's success nationwide, ensuring every state has a Cocoon so young women can access this transformative program.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

"Homelessness in Victoria rose 24% at the last Census, and we need to act now to ensure that we don’t end up with more children and young people without a home. Across 20 years in the sector, I have never seen anything like the Cocoon. The support we provide is holistic and wraps around our young residents in every area of their lives. In our pilot phase, we provided a home to 11 young women and transitioned from our accommodation into the housing of their choice. We refuse to give up on our young people.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

Since launching in 2021, Bridge It has raised a huge $2.5M in donations from generous donors,&nbsp; foundations and corporates including Sir Richard Branson, Mirvac, ANZ, Westpac and AMP to fund the Cocoon project. This funding supports young women to stay in the residence for 12-18 months, providing time to stabilise, learn life and living skills and move positively into adulthood.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<img alt="Bridge It" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/Screenshot%202024-09-15%20at%202.54.14%20pm.png?VersionId=vKxfHCe71jozEi.aUn7kyT0vp1zbl8yV" />

This project marks a private sector, charity, and social services collaboration that integrates lived experience mentoring, therapies like acupuncture, and activities such as zoo visits and cooking lessons, paving pathways to independent housing and employment. Bridge It has had a 100% success rate in its beta program where they placed all 11 Cocoon residents into secure housing. If adopted nationally, this model could be crucial in ending youth homelessness in Australia.&nbsp;

The expansion marks a milestone in Cocoon’s efforts to provide safe, supportive spaces for Australian youth; made possible through a partnership between Bridge It and Housing All Australians who engaged industry leaders: Mirvac, Dulux, RPS, K2LD, Simon Ellis, Apartments.com.au and many others who have donated pro bono work and products valued at $1.5M. &nbsp;

Elysa Anderson, General Manager Residential Victoria and Western Australia at Mirvac&nbsp; highlights their commitment: "Mirvac is proud to collaborate with Housing All Australians and&nbsp; Bridge It to refurbish these apartments, aiming to provide a new home and supportive&nbsp; community for young people transitioning from care."&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bridge It leads radical St Kilda Homelessness Collaboration

Mirvac has officially completed The Langlee and Waverley Greens, transforming the former Waverley Bowling Club into a new lifestyle and residential precinct featuring 55 luxury apartments, a contemporary hospitality venue, bowling greens and community hub with an estimated total development value of around $170m.

The Langlee was developed to target the downsizer. It's been completed at a time when almost a third of the Australian population aged over 55 is considering downsizing and a further 26 per cent have already made the move, freeing up the family home to allow the next generation of families to move in.

The ‘right sizer’ movement, enhanced further by the Federal Government’s downsizer scheme, promotes housing efficiency in a supply-constrained market. In NSW, more than 1.4 million people occupy a three or four-bedroom home on their own, or as couples without children. And nearly three-quarters of them are aged over 55 years. In Sydney’s eastern suburbs, the population aged 55-79 has grown by 8.3 per cent3 since the last Census in 2016.

<img alt="Langlee" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bff12f01-0a8f-4f92-91d7-57267a8c1b80" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Langlee.jpg?VersionId=fkaVpEgETg8Yv_RnX5b7Ja78gt_T63ji" />

Mirvac CEO Development Stuart Penklis said Mirvac’s partnership with the Easts Group has focused on delivering a project that unlocks much-needed right-sizer accommodation in a highly desirable location, whilst also creating a premium venue befitting the local Eastern Suburbs community.

“Mirvac has a long history of working with partners such as the Easts Group to unlock and transform sites like these in inner Sydney, to deliver precincts of exceptional quality and great design that residents and the local community can enjoy,” Penklis said.

“When we partnered with the Easts Group, we wanted to create an amenity-rich lifestyle for the over 55s that offered the best blend of both convenience and comfort, which we have delivered in The Langlee. On top of that, we set out to create a premium destination in the east that the community can enjoy – for bowls, a family meal or a coffee with friends - with Waverley Greens.”

Easts Group CEO Joe Kelly said they set out to celebrate the site’s unique heritage while setting new benchmarks for innovation, sustainability, and the high-quality built form.

"Mirvac was perfectly positioned to reimagine this iconic location with us," Kelly said.

“The seamless integration of Waverley Greens and The Langlee residences and likeness to the architect’s vision and artist’s impressions is incredible, and a testament to the delivery of the project by Mirvac.

“The Waverley Bowling Club was formed in 1893 and is the sixth oldest bowling club in Sydney, and we’re thrilled to have played a small part in ensuring that they could celebrate their 130th year milestone. Our Waverley Bowling Club Members now have one of the best facilities in Sydney and an incredibly bright future ahead.”

The one-hectare site features an indoor/outdoor café, restaurant and bar situated on the ground floor, fronted by two bowling greens, as well as 55 premium residences, a 20-metre indoor lap pool, treatment and steam rooms, and a mezzanine level gym. A personalised wellbeing concierge service delivered by Zinnia Living will benefit residents whilst moving in.

Along with lifestyle features and amenities, Mirvac has worked to lighten The Langlee’s environmental footprint through sustainable building practices and cost saving benefits for residents.

The Langlee by Mirvac maximises available roof space to house solar panels, with a ~120kW system installed which will significantly offset the running costs of the common area facilities, reducing ongoing energy costs to residents and the Club. Electric Vehicle (EV) charging for every residential car space has been included as an option for customers, and water and energy efficient appliances have also been installed. The Langlee has been designed by Altis Architecture in collaboration with Mirvac Design.

By 2066, it is forecasted older people in Australia will make up around 22 per cent of the total population. Penklis says concurrently the trend to downsize will gain further momentum.

"The Langlee offers prospective purchasers an attractive downsizing option with a difference," Penklis added.

<img alt="Langlee" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6d9c4e2b-3411-47bf-80f0-e21a6fca35ba" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Langlee%204.jpg?VersionId=zwi0sQsK.J22G2F7UnapiqTDch4EMgRp" />

“An over 55s residence has significant value to the wider community and allows for transition of housing stock by allowing downsizers to remain in their locality and enjoy a maintenance free environment with state-of-the-art facilities, and in turn on-sell their larger family home to the next generation of families, returning much-needed established housing to the market.

“The Langlee highlights our capability as specialists in precinct delivery and partnerships, a result of our best-in-class integrated model and expertise that spans the residential, retail, industrial, commercial and mixed-use sectors. We are also highly selective in the partners we choose to work with, and our reputation for quality underpinned by Australia’s only iCIRT 5 Gold Star rating means customers can be confident in the product and lifestyle Mirvac creates."

The Langlee is one of 16 residential projects Mirvac has in the pipeline across NSW, with the group set to deliver around 1,200 new homes to buyers in residential communities and apartments across the state over the next year, injecting much-needed diverse housing options into a tightly constrained housing market.

The ‘right sizer’ movement, enhanced further by the Federal Government’s downsizer scheme, promotes housing efficiency in a supply-constrained market

Mirvac cater for right-sizers at Waverley Bowling Club's new lifestyle precinct, The Langlee

Leading Australian property developer <a href="/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a> has opened the first stage of its sporting precinct&nbsp;at its 465-hectare <a href="/new-townhouses/evergreen-collection-townhouses-olivine-by-mirvac-donnybrook">Olivine masterplanned community in Donnybrook</a>.

Delivered in partnership with the City of Whittlesea, who will manage and operate the facility, the first stage of Olivine’s sporting precinct, to be known as Olivine Recreation Reserve, was officially unveiled in October, providing state-of-the-art amenity for the fast-growing neighbourhood in Melbourne’s north.

As part of Stage 1, local residents can now utilise the $4.5 million Sports and Community Pavilion, as well as netball and futsal courts, cricket nets, dog park, barbecue areas and a playground. Mirvac is working closely with the City of Whittlesea to deliver Stage 2 of the Sporting Precinct which will include two ovals, anticipated to commence construction in the coming months.

Read more:&nbsp;<a href="/news/vic/how-mirvac-is-improving-the-lifestyle-of-residents-of-the-donnybrook-community-olivine">How Mirvac is improving the lifestyle of residents of the Donnybrook community, Olivine</a>

Mirvac’s General Manager of Residential Victoria, Elysa Anderson, explains that the highly anticipated facilities are part of Mirvac’s commitment to developing sustainable communities that drive social connectivity and a healthy lifestyle.

“Mirvac is passionate about reimagining urban life in Melbourne’s North and we are proud to deliver the first stage of Olivine’s Sporting Precinct, in partnership with the City of Whittlesea, for the 1,600 residents now living at Olivine, as well as the wider community,” Anderson said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134733 project_image_fid=205834]

“The new Sports Precinct is an important part of community building for Olivine’s growing neighbourhood and the surrounding areas, and we hope it provides a new destination and home for local sports teams and community groups, allowing residents to connect with family and friends and enjoy an active lifestyle.”

At the heart of Olivine’s Sporting Precinct is the Sports and Community Pavilion designed by Canvas which features two wings connected by an archway, providing a viewing area, shade, shelter and seating for the two future ovals and neighbouring amenities.

The northern wing will feature a multi- purpose community area, while the southern wing will include change rooms and amenities for the cricket nets, netball courts and future AFL ovals. Each building is fully electric, with solar panels sized to provide 100 percent of the expected average daytime use of the facilities.

<img alt="Mirvac" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a1f22bf6-6662-4bd6-a3a6-54dfc0847ffa" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-01%20at%2010.39.12%20am.png?VersionId=18bhdQVdYDXni8SZ4VUNnQ.E0crgWHTJ" />

An internal shared path network connects the Sports and Community Pavilion with the other amenities, including fitness stations, respite areas and a fenced, off leash dog park. The dog park features open clearings of over 50 metres in length, ‘airlock gates’ for additional safety and a shaded area for dog owners to congregate.

Through the centre of Olivine’s Sporting Precinct is a grove of 200-year-old red river gum trees which have inspired the landscaping completed by landscape architects MDGLA. Indigenous and native tree species have been planted throughout the Sporting Precinct, including a range of shrubs and tufting plants that are drought tolerant and allow for visibility across the precinct.

The facilities join a range of existing amenity at Olivine, including Olivine Place, Shared Cup social enterprise café and Gumnut Park &amp; Adventure Playground. They also join Olivine’s world class Education Precinct which includes Hume Anglican Grammar’s Donnybrook campus, Donnybrook Primary School, Eucalyptus Parade Kindergarten and Wallaby Childcare Donnybrook.

Mirvac has also submitted a planning permit application for the future Local Town Centre, with the City of Whittlesea following resident consultation. Mirvac is aspiring to bring a mixed retail offering to the new town centre, including two supermarkets, dine in and takeaway restaurants and personal care and medical services.

Upon completion, Olivine will comprise in excess of 4,000 lots and will be home to around 11,000 residents with 120-hectares of land dedicated to open space and conservation.

This display suite is stunning.

First up, we have the kitchen in the Celestial palette, which features warm hues of muted ochre and burnt sienna. With over 50 years of experience, Mirvac know you want to see more than one design scheme in real life.

ASX-listed developer Mirvac has topped out the second and final stage of its $790m NINE by Mirvac residential community in Willoughby.

When completed in early 2024, Stage 2 will comprise 214 dwellings across five residential buildings, as well as a community pavilion for both residents and the local community.

The residential community occupies the 3.2-hectare site of the former Channel Nine television studios, six kilometres north of the Sydney CBD. NINE by Mirvac has 442 apartments across 10 buildings.

Mirvac General Manager Residential Development NSW Toby Long said the topping out of Stage 2 was another demonstration of Mirvac delivering for its customers while ensuring quality in every detail.

“We acquired a site that was closed to the public for almost 70 years and we’re thrilled to be one step closer to transforming it into a place that not only residents but the widercommunity can enjoy,” Long says.

“NINE by Mirvac is a testament to our commitment to the Sydney housing market. Given our best-in-class 5-star iCIRT rating, buyers can be assured they are getting an industry-leading quality product.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93788 project_image_fid=186245]

NINE will also include two proposed food and beverage tenancies, a 1,000 sqm retail/commercial building and 6,500 sqm of open space. The new community has been popular with local downsizers and young families attracted by the Mirvac design quality and the extensively landscaped surroundings.

The five buildings in Stage 2 - ranging in height from four to nine storeys - comprise a mix of one, two and three-bedroom residences, including penthouses with sweeping district views.

The buildings are an expression of distinctively timeless architecture created by the award- winning Mirvac Design Team in collaboration with architects CHROFI.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93788 project_image_fid=216656]

The Committee for Sydney (2022) estimates there is a historical under supply of about 96,000 dwellings in Sydney with data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Urban Development Institute of Australia NSW (UDIANSW) showing apartment approvals still remain 60 per cent below their 2018 peak.

“With NINE by Mirvac here in Willoughby, and the recent topping out of three buildings at Green Square, Zetland, we are not only generating more places close to the city for Sydney-siders to call home, but also fostering communities that will meet the needs of its residents for years to come," Long added.

"Our commitment could not be more important as we play our part in resolving the housing affordability crisis."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93788 project_image_fid=216658]

Mirvac General Manager National Design Brett Crellin says since 1972, Mirvac has been providing much-needed, and much-loved, homes for Australians and that that experience is invaluable, especially in the current crisis.

“We consider the quality of the material to extract the best value from it. We've got 50 years of experience delivering buildings, and we always strive for excellence that’s above and beyond. The team has been incredibly focused on leaving a beautiful legacy,” Crellin says.

“The level of design detail which has gone into delivering the vision has set a new precedent within our residential portfolio.” Mirvac’s five decades of experience are evident in the care and attention paid to social connectivity and well-being through the inclusion of The Gateway Hub, a multi-function space for residents and the local community. It features an open-air pavilion with a green roof, outdoor terrace seating and servery facilities, underlining the community values at the heart of NINE by Mirvac.

Stage 1 at NINE by Mirvac is anticipated for completion in Spring 2023 and Stage 2 is due for completion in early 2024.

Mirvac's coveted Voyager residences are generating significant buzz as limited opportunities remain to secure a place in the development.

Nestled in the prestigious Yarra's Edge precinct, Voyager offers contemporary interiors, exceptional amenities, and a prime location just 2.4 kilometres from Melbourne's CBD.

With sweeping views across the Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip Bay, Voyager presents a range of exclusive living options, with only a few two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhomes remaining.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=213139]

Voyager residents, Rebecca and Alastair, had lived in Australia for 10 years when they decided it was time to finally set roots in the country. They purchased an apartment on floor 31 of Voyager, highlighting the panoramic views as a major drawcard in their decision.&nbsp;

“The rooftop is just amazing. The views are spectacular, when I first went up there I cried, it was that amazing,” Rebecca said.&nbsp;

“It’s got so many amenities, there’s a yoga lawn, little seating areas.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=213134]

The level 43 Resident Skydeck&nbsp;features a dining room with a chef's kitchen and a cinema room. There's further amenity in the lobby, where there's a concierge, an art gallery, and a lounge room with a fireplace.

Alastair said moving to Voyager has felt like a sea change.

"We’ve got floor to ceiling light that comes in first thing in the morning, and then being able to watch the sunset through the windows at night, it’s amazing.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=213143]

In addition to these amenities, Voyager residents enjoy access to the Wharf Club, a pool, and gym facility located just a short stroll from the lobby entrance.

Beyond the confines of Voyager, the award-winning Yarra's Edge precinct awaits. Lush established parklands, playgrounds, waterfront boardwalks, and cycling paths create an environment perfect for relaxation and outdoor activities.

Health and wellness centres, retail outlets, dining options, and the nearby Marina YE further enhance the convenience and desirability of the location.

The remaining two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments are priced from $885,000 with a car space. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom townhomes, which have two car spaces, start from $1,515,000.&nbsp;

How Voyager feels like a sea change: Remaining apartments at Mirvac's Voyager at Yarra's Edge

Mirvac has officially launched Trielle, it's last residential tower in their $1.4 billion Yarra's Edge masterplan precinct on the Docklands waterfront.

A hundred gathered on a sunny day at the Trielle Display Galleria at 16 Point Park Crescent, where prospective buyers were greeted with tantalising electro-acoustic harp-music and champagne as they entered the crystalline façade of the Trielle Display Galleria on the day of its long-awaited Grand Opening.

Guests were treated with cooking demonstrations by Emma Rosen on the sub-penthouse Bora induction cook top with downdraught exhaust, an example of Mirvac Design's detail in Trielle's highly sculptural kitchens.

High-end designer furniture firm Mobilia, good friend and partner of Vogue Living who were involved in the curation of iconic furniture for the Display Galleria, delivered an inspiring masterclass on the design legends past and present such as Patricia Urquiola and Mario Bellini and their timeless furniture that have completed the vision that Mirvac's in-house design had for the Display Galleria experience.

Mirvac launch Lunar New Year offer on final two-bedroom apartments at FORME Doncaster

ASX-listed developer Mirvac has revealed its $350 million luxury residential tower, Trielle, the tallest building to be introduced to their multi-award-winning Yarra’s Edge community in Melbourne.

Formerly referred to as Tower 9, the 45-level tower will be the jewel in the crown of the vibrant precinct, commanding an unrepeatable waterfront position on the Collins Street axis of Melbourne, just 12.5 metres from the Yarra River.

Trielle will feature the most abundant amenity offered to date.

Residents will have access to a library and work pods, the Saletta Business Lounge, a piano bar with self-playing piano, a&nbsp;wine cellar, games room and cocktail bar, theatre, and a golf simulator.

There's also the Oasis Retreat, complete with&nbsp;urban rainforest gardens, a Scandinavian-inspired wellness centre, 25-metre pool, magnesium pool, spa, sauna, cold-pailing and treatment rooms.

<img alt="Trielle" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="40b1ab35-52e2-4acf-b3e2-35e25ebe09cf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-12-19%20at%2012.05.30%20pm.png?VersionId=2syZpjAGjF.aSJ4e0r51kb5_aubXLj2m" />

Mirvac’s announcement follows planning amendment approval received earlier this year, with Mirvac’s General Manager, Residential Development Victoria, Elysa Anderson, saying the upcoming launch in 2023 of Trielle demonstrated prospective purchasers’ ongoing appetite for premium, lifestyle-focused apartments.

“Market vacancy across the east coast residential market has fallen to around 1.5%, new apartment starts are at lowest levels seen since 20122 , and with the recent increase of permanent migration caps, we are seeing an acceleration in population growth, Anderson says.

"Discerning buyers are acting decisively in the tightening market to secure quality, larger apartments setting themselves up for future growth.

“In particular we are seeing demand from customers that are wanting to downsize – especially when presented with a compelling value proposition like Trielle, in a location with so much going for it.”

Anderson said Trielle will likely appeal to a broad owner-occupier demographic, most predominantly the right-sizer buyers looking for a new lifestyle offering, close to the city, with unrivalled amenity. Anderson is anticipating out-of-towners looking for a city base, and experienced apartment dwellers looking to upgrade, to make up a good portion of demand.

<img alt="Trielle 2" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="81af8803-29d9-4a03-8fb5-76038b78bec5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-12-19%20at%2012.05.40%20pm.png?VersionId=U45uaf2yXJ6SrSLiVatI7Z4TAFMua5L0" />

“Our highly anticipated Trielle tower will deliver a legacy project to our vibrant waterfront precinct and draws on our 50 years of experience to offer a new level of prestige and sophistication in apartment living in a location like nothing else in Melbourne,” Anderson added.

With architecture and interiors by Mirvac’s award-winning in-house design team, Mirvac Design,&nbsp;Trielle tower will combine its exclusive location and north-facing riverfront orientation, with 191 apartments, a nine-level podium, ground-level retail space and above-ground parking.

The all-electric tower has also been designed to go beyond current sustainable building codes and will evolve under construction, with a centralised electric heat pump hot water system, rainwater and stormwater storage and reuse and induction cooktops as standard.

Mirvac Design Director, Michael Wiener, said the tower was “jewel-like” in appearance, faceted like a gem, with an angular glazed façade to reflect light and “shine like a diamond.

“Trielle offers riverside rarity and timeless luxury with impeccable craftmanship,” Wiener said.

“The design hinges on the waterfront aspect of Trielle, its view of the city and its commanding presence on the city’s skyline. There is no other site like it in Melbourne that brings together the city, the river and the sky in such a striking way.

“Trielle will create breathtaking moments for residents, evoking a response of pride of ownership. Residents will be proud that they are a part of something truly beautiful and unique.”

Trielle’s landscape design will flow from the promenade and through the building, creating an ‘urban forest’ at Yarra’s Edge, that is continued throughout the building’s common areas.

“Trielle’s amenity is focused on making time for wellness,” Mr Wiener said. “The level of luxury and amenity is unprecedented, with a particular focus on celebrating life’s most precious commodity – time – freeing residents up to make time for what matters most, their health and wellbeing.”

Trielle will join Mirvac’s impressive Victorian apartments portfolio, which encompasses Voyager at Yarra’s Edge, The Eastbourne’s luxury residences in East Melbourne, and the recently topped-out Forme at Apartments of Tullamore in Doncaster.

Yarra’s Edge is a coveted 14.5-hectare inner-city waterfront community located on the north-facing bank of the Yarra River that has been developed by Mirvac for more than 20 years.

Now home to over 3,000 residents, Yarra’s Edge is anticipated to include 2,300 dwellings once complete. Designed around wellbeing, Yarra’s Edge already features extensive parkland, state-of-the-art health and fitness facilities at Wharf Club and a marina, with future plans for a boutique retail hub to serve the local community, the broader Fishermans Bend, and Docklands catchment areas.

Expressions of interest are now being registered for Trielle by Mirvac, with the official launch planned for early 2023 and construction anticipated to commence in mid to late 2023.&nbsp;

The amenity offering in residential developments is always a hot topic, with many developers of late forming their own exclusive clubs within their projects.&nbsp;

The likes of resort-inspired pools, sun lounges, gyms and even teppanyaki grills are becoming standard, as more developers look to elevate homebuyers lifestyles’.&nbsp;

At Mirvac’s Ashford Residences at Everton Park in Brisbane’s inner-north, more than $2.5 million has been invested in the Ashford Club, offering a suite of residential facilities overlooking a one-hectare eco area to the Kedron Brook parkland.

Featuring a pool with a splash area for children, lounge chairs, a teppanyaki grill, fire pit, barbecue facilities, a turfed area for entertaining and a gym, the club is appealing to purchasers across the board, from first home buyers, to professionals, families and downsizers.

The ASX-listed group have notched up more than $80 million in sales since launching the Ashford Residences, with the final four homesites now officially launched to the market. &nbsp;

Mirvac General Manager Residential Queensland, Warwick Bible, said buyers were embracing the Ashford Club, designed to raise the bar for luxury living in Brisbane’s inner-north.

“We’ve seen lifestyle becoming an increasing emphasis for homebuyers for some time, and this has been accelerated even further post Covid-19,” he said.

“People are looking for a home that delivers more. Many are moving from apartments where they have had access to resort amenities, and they want the same level of lifestyle in a new community.

“These facilities also create a space for residents to form a real sense of community and connection, to host family and friends and enjoy facilities like the pool, gym and teppanyaki bar without owning and maintaining them – all factors that add to their appeal.”

Registered and ready to build on, the final lots range from 405 sqm and are priced from $730,000, offering a rare opportunity to build new, just seven kilometres from the Brisbane CBD.

Jaime Andueza, who purchased a 420 sqm lot at Ashford Residences, said the extensive residents’ facilities were a significant point of difference and key factor in his decision to move to the inner-north, after living southside for two decades.

The Chief Digital Officer and his partner, Aaron, are putting the finishing touches on their new five-bedroom, three living and five-bathroom home, which they anticipate moving into by Christmas.

“The Ashford Club has an elegant design, which is a differentiator from any other development we viewed,” said Andueza.

“There’s an incredibly beautiful view to the Kedron Brook, so you can go to the pool area and absorb the nature around you. It is luxurious and privileged, considering it is so close to the city.”

Andueza said his first impression of Ashford Residences was ‘sensational’.

“I had been looking at what was available in the market and had always wanted to build. When I saw the location of the blocks of land at Ashford Residences, I immediately realised it was a great opportunity,” he said.

“Having compared it to existing homes elsewhere, I felt the value and lifestyle offered was 
significantly greater. We’re looking forward to the neighbourly atmosphere and being part of the Ashford community.”

Ashford Residences have been a hit among buyers, with the most recent terrace home release selling-out to a waiting list prior to its official launch.&nbsp;

“We held the final four lots for release when they were ready to build on and buyers could see how the community had taken shape, and anticipate they will be in high demand,” Bible said.

“The opportunity to build new in this area is extremely rare and the location alongside Kedron Brook only adds to the desirability, as does the exclusive residents’ facilities in the Ashford Club.

“The proximity to Brisbane CBD and the village charm of Everton Park, home to an expanding mix of restaurants, cafes, bars and shops, is also seeing buyers zero in on the area.”

Ashford Residences will comprise a total of 124 residences upon completion in late 2023, with 80 terrace homes and 43 freestanding homes.&nbsp;

The final property, a heritage Queenslander known as Murphy’s Dairy Residence, is anticipated to launch to market early next year. Refurbishment works are underway on the historic home, which is situated on a rare 900 sqm lot that has been meticulously landscaped.
