Abadeen has released the whole-floor penthouse crowning its recently completed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/park-residences-cremorne-2-sutherland-street-cremorne-nsw-2090">Park Residences</a> development in Cremorne, bringing the near-300 sqm residence to market for the first time.

Occupying the entire top floor of the boutique Lower North Shore development, the penthouse includes 221 sqm of internal living and a 74 sqm wraparound terrace, with a prized north-facing aspect taking in views across Middle Harbour.

The residence has been completed and fully furnished following a collaboration between Abadeen Executive Chairman Justin Brown and internationally recognised interior designer Jack Freeman, Founder and Managing Director of FREEMAN &amp; CO.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a> and Freeman approached the penthouse as a finished home, sourcing furniture, artwork, lighting and objects from Australia and overseas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378718]

Pieces from Parisian design house Pierre Augustin Rose sit alongside contemporary artworks and bespoke lighting, with Freeman drawing on recent visits to PAD Paris and Salone del Mobile Milano for the final collection.

Brown said the aim was to create a penthouse that felt more like a large-scale private home than a traditional apartment.

"The experience begins the moment the lift doors open. You're welcomed into an elegant dining room before the home opens into an extraordinary living space framed by sun-drenched harbour views.

"Every time someone walks through the front door they pause. It's not just the view, it's the incredible sense of space, the warmth created by the northern sunlight that fills the interiors, and the way every room connects so effortlessly.

"It has all the proportions of a luxury home, while delivering the effortless lifestyle and personalised experience of living in a world-class six-star hotel, combined with the simplicity and convenience of apartment living."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378713]

A secure lift provides exclusive access to the penthouse level, opening to a dedicated arrival foyer and dining area before the residence expands into its main living and entertaining spaces.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing runs across the northern side of the home, connecting the interiors with the terrace and Middle Harbour outlook.

The penthouse also features a fireplace and substantial chef's kitchen, while the wraparound terrace has been designed to accommodate both everyday outdoor living and larger-scale entertaining.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378720]

Freeman said the interiors had been deliberately kept restrained to complement the scale, natural light and outlook already established by the architecture.

"The penthouse is a serene study in quiet luxury," Freeman said.

"The interior pairs soft, sculptural forms with warm timber, pale stone and a restrained neutral palette. Curated artwork and metallic accents add depth, while abundant natural light creates a calm, effortlessly refined atmosphere. In my world, less is always more."

Freeman said the approach was centred around collecting individual pieces rather than simply decorating the apartment.

"Every material, every object and every piece of furniture has been curated with intention. I am a true believer in collecting versus decorating.

"The architecture already provided extraordinary natural light, remarkable volume and an uninterrupted connection to Middle Harbour. Our role was to complement those qualities with unique one-of-a-kind pieces of fine art and collectible design sourced from recent travels around the world."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378694]

Among the collection are solid bronze sculptures by Lorenzo Quinn, alongside a curated crystalware collection and pieces sourced from international design fairs.

Park Residences sits opposite Cammeray Golf Club, Cammeray Croquet Club and Grand Slam Tennis Cammeray, around 300 metres from Neutral Bay Village and its established collection of restaurants, cafés and retail.

Brown said the combination of a whole-floor floorplan, northern aspect and proximity to Neutral Bay was becoming increasingly difficult to find on the Lower North Shore.

"Completed whole-floor penthouses with a sun-drenched north-facing aspect and sweeping Middle Harbour views are exceptionally rare," Brown said.

"Add a quiet position opposite golf, croquet and tennis facilities, a level walk to Neutral Bay Village and only minutes to the CBD, and you have a lifestyle that's incredibly difficult to replicate.

"This is a home that offers the privacy and generosity of a luxury residence together with the convenience of one of Sydney's best-connected harbourside locations."

The penthouse will be exclusively marketed by SRM Residential.

Abadeen unveils penthouse at Park Residences in Cremorne

New Brisbane developer Dalcott has unveiled Marrone, the first of three residential projects it is planning in and around Browning Street in South Brisbane.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marrone-south-brisbane-39-browning-street-south-brisbane-qld-4101">Marrone</a> will comprise 97 predominantly two- and three-bedroom apartments, with larger residences aimed squarely at the owner-occupier market.

The project will sit in a quiet pocket of South Brisbane between South Bank and West End, close to the restaurants, cultural attractions and riverfront amenity that have driven the suburb's continued transformation.

Dalcott is targeting buyers looking for more space and amenity than has traditionally been offered in the inner-city apartment market, particularly downsizers and professionals wanting to remain close to the city.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149951 project_image_fid=377072]

Resident facilities will be concentrated around an extensive rooftop amenity offering, including a swimming pool, spa, infrared sauna, warm and cold magnesium plunge pools, private lounge, dining room and outdoor entertaining areas.

Dalcott Managing Director Lachlan Cottee said South Brisbane's combination of lifestyle, connectivity and established character had been central to the approach to Marrone.

“South Brisbane offers a combination of lifestyle, connectivity and character that’s difficult to replicate elsewhere in Brisbane,” Cottee said.

“Our focus has been on creating homes that feel connected to that environment while providing the level of design, functionality and quality that today's owner-occupiers expect.”

The residences will feature an expressive material palette. Italian Calacatta Viola marble, known for its deep burgundy veining, will be paired with aged brass tapware, Chestnut engineered timber flooring and Tuscan Oak joinery.

<img alt="Marrone" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b8d833da-3b30-496a-ae30-07bdff371b50" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%2010.52.35%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=P6DAgOfaQzIXljKKK5j3e5NhWtrHIu9G" />

Bathrooms will feature Nara Japanese ceramics and glass bricks, while clay, walnut and brass lighting will be used throughout the apartments.

Dalcott has appointed Realm Projects, led by Managing Director Shane Foley, to handle sales and marketing following previous sold-out collaborations between the groups.

Foley said the Brisbane apartment buyer had become increasingly focused on the quality of the home itself rather than simply securing an inner-city address.

“We expect to see strong demand from buyers who still want all the advantages of inner-city living but aren’t prepared to compromise on the quality of their home,” Foley said.

“Many will be downsizers looking to leave behind the maintenance of a traditional family home without giving up the space they enjoy, while others are likely to be professionals wanting a residence that reflects the way they live today.”

“Marrone responds directly to that demand, with generous floorplans, exceptional resident amenity and a location that places some of Brisbane’s best dining, entertainment and cultural attractions within walking distance.”

<img alt="Marrone" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="61f7b22f-899e-4c0f-940a-7d3ab1bfb93a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%2010.52.44%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=PvN1JYxBgUpyCB7efKo52WGdSDs9nmim" />

Marrone will be the first project delivered as part of Dalcott's broader investment in the precinct.

It will be followed by La Terra, a boutique project comprising penthouse-style, single-level apartments on a northeast corner site with extensive resident amenity and city views.

Cottee said Marrone represented the first stage of the group's longer-term plans for the area.

Dalcott was established in 2025 by Lachlan Cottee and Ben Dalgliesh, combining development and construction capability under an integrated model and focusing on architecturally considered residential projects.

Marrone will initially be offered through a pre-release registration campaign ahead of its broader public launch.

Dalcott targets owner-occupiers with South Brisbane debut Marrone

Parnell Developments is the latest to seek significant uplift through the NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority on a Strathfield site previously approved for a much smaller apartment development.

Parnell has sought approval for a 32-storey mixed use tower across&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/7-lyons-street-strathfield-nsw-2135">3-7 Lyons Street and 18 Parnell Street</a>, a&nbsp;1,857 sqm site around 400 metres from Strathfield Station. The building would yield 160 apartments, 15 per cent of which will be dedicated affordable as per the government mandate for buildings seeking additional uplift.

Approved previously was a nine-storey building back in 2022 with just over 30 apartments. That approval came prior to the project being&nbsp;progressively reconsidered as planning policy shifted toward greater density around transport hubs.

<img alt="Strathfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c5af5281-a643-4eb2-b8c4-0081b59c04c7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.16.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=37bd3mI7rHNpThOV_75VO8xsGFwWOi1u" />

Turner has designed the latest building that would replace&nbsp;existing detached homes across the four lots.

The apartment mix comprises 22 one-bedroom apartments, 107 two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus configurations, and 31 apartments with three or more bedrooms. The scheme also includes 203 car spaces across six basement levels and 58 bicycle spaces.

The proposal has been designed around a three-storey podium addressing Lyons Street, with the tower rising above and stepping toward its upper levels.

Turner said the podium was deliberately scaled to respond to the existing street, while the taller element has been designed as part of the emerging skyline anticipated around Strathfield Town Centre and the wider Homebush transport-oriented development precinct.

The Lyons Street frontage would have a more active, pedestrian-focused character, incorporating the commercial tenancy, landscaping and a brick-framed podium with an awning.

<img alt="Strathfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="14b20874-b8c3-4ac7-bc03-92be9a69fb78" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.17.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=av.9TxtqIRTC6v3PkSuu1rL9rreWoe2h" />

Parnell Street, which faces the railway corridor, has been given a different architectural treatment, with double-height breeze blocks, landscaping and communal areas used to soften the interface with the rail infrastructure.

The tower itself uses curved and recessed facade elements, with wave-like indentations across the northern elevation breaking the building into three vertical forms.

A palette of grey concrete, brick and breeze blocks is complemented by clay and terracotta accents, while the upper tower adopts a lighter expression through articulated slab edges, vertical fins and recessed glazing.

Residents would have access to 467 sqm of communal open space spread across three levels. The ground floor would accommodate the more active resident areas, including barbecue and group gathering spaces and an internal communal room capable of being used for working from home.

A more passive viewing deck is proposed at level three, overlooking the ground-level landscaping and neighbouring tennis courts, while a rooftop "sunset deck" at level 30 would provide another social and relaxation space.

<img alt="Parnell" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c3dce401-a80f-4682-8471-4caa01180880" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.17.34%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Xyo8JVqbOhSJXNy6Ih.1cHL.O6i0bGR." />

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Strathfield has been earmarked for substantial change through the Strathfield Town Centre planning work and the nearby Homebush TOD precinct.

Turner's report says the project has been designed to act as a transition between the existing low and mid-rise development surrounding the site and the taller built form expected to emerge across the town centre.

The proposal is being assessed as State Significant Development under the HDA pathway, alongside the concurrent request to amend the Burwood Local Environmental Plan.

First look: New apartment tower pitched for Strathfield Town Centre precinct

An $18 million penthouse has hit the market in Main Beach as construction tops out on La Mer, the $155 million apartment development rising just metres from the beach.

Spanning around 600 sqm across the top two levels of the 29-storey tower on Main Beach Parade, the four-bedroom penthouse is one of the latest eight-figure residences to test the upper end of the Gold Coast apartment market.

Its launch comes amid continued activity at the very top of the market, following the $30 million off-the-plan sale of a Burleigh Heads penthouse earlier this year, which surpassed the Gold Coast's previous $24 million apartment record set in 2023.

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/la-mer-main-beach-3580-main-beach-parade-main-beach-qld-4217">La Mer penthouse</a> has been designed as a private residence in the sky, with 360-degree views spanning the ocean, Broadwater, hinterland and Gold Coast skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378731]

All four bedrooms have ensuites, while the ocean-facing master retreat occupies around half of the upper level and includes its own lounge, private balcony, two walk-in wardrobes and an oversized ensuite with a freestanding stone bath positioned to take in the views.

The residence also features a kitchen designed to accommodate a private chef, a 3.6-metre island bench, expansive butler's pantry, wine cellar and integrated bar.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378732]

A rooftop pool and substantial outdoor entertaining area with its own kitchen sit above the residence, while a grand staircase connects the two internal levels. The penthouse also has its own express lift.

OTP Group Director James Elliott, who is marketing La Mer, said the penthouse was expected to appeal to high-net-worth buyers seeking either a permanent Main Beach residence or Gold Coast holiday home.

“The La Mer penthouse represents exceptional value, considering its quality design, size, privacy and location, not to mention the 360-degree views capturing the beach and Gold Coast Broadwater,” Elliott said.

“We’re anticipating interest from high-net-worth individuals and couples seeking a residence or holiday home in the sought-after village enclave of Main Beach, taking advantage of the unprecedented growth underway in the area and neighbouring The Spit.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378736]

La Mer is being developed by developer-builder ODUS and Nazero, in partnership with funder Metrics Credit Partners.

ODUS Director Byron Sakha said topping out the tower had provided the opportunity to release the project's most significant residence.

“We’ve worked with internationally-recognised studio Sici Design on the penthouse interiors, with a focus on ensuring it isn’t luxury for luxury’s sake. Every element has been thoughtfully designed to enhance quality of life for those who call it home,” Sakha said.

“The views are the hero of virtually every space, but we’ve given equal attention to the fittings and finishes, so every detail exudes elegance and refinement.”

Sici Design Founder and Director Maria Papadopoulos said the extensive views became an integral part of the interior design rather than simply something the residence was designed around.

“The views weren't something we designed around, they became part of the design itself, with the true luxury of La Mer in its feeling of peace, calm and wellbeing,” Papadopoulos said.

“Luxury isn't defined by how something looks, but how it makes you feel, and we believe a luxurious home should be beautiful to live in, not stressful to maintain.”

The interiors combine Austral Dream Dolomite natural stone and travertine with timber flooring and a restrained coastal palette.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378734]

Designed by Plus Studio, La Mer is one of the more boutique additions to the rapidly changing Main Beach apartment market.

The tower comprises just 24 full-floor, three-bedroom plus multipurpose room apartments below the two-level penthouse, giving the project a considerably lower density than many of the larger towers being developed across the Gold Coast.

Residents will have access to a pool and spa, gym, sauna, barbecue facilities, private sun lounges, yoga lawn and outdoor beach shower.

The penthouse has been released as part of the final collection of residences at La Mer, with remaining apartments priced from $4.3 million.

Construction is expected to complete later this year, with a fully furnished display apartment now open on level four.

ODUS releases $18 million penthouse crowning La Mer Main Beach

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/far-east-consortium">Far East Consortium</a> is preparing to commence construction on <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/640-bourke-street-melbourne-640-bourke-street-melbourne-vic-3000">640 Bourke Street</a> this October, marking the next milestone for the Melbourne CBD development and its higher-end Eliza Collection.

Spanning levels 44 to 68 of the 68-storey <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>-designed tower, the Eliza Collection has been conceived as a lower-density offering within the broader development, with only five apartments on each floor, dedicated lift access and a collection of resident spaces reserved exclusively for Eliza Collection residents.

The Eliza Collection forms part of Far East Consortium's broader move toward larger-format residences at 640 Bourke Street, where the number of apartments was reduced from earlier plans as apartment sizes increased.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365685]

"What it's meant for 640 Bourke is we've actually reduced the number of apartments. We've increased the overall size of the apartments. We don't have any studios in here, and what that does for a project is it elevates it," Far East Consortium Director of Sales and Marketing Lauren Sheldon said.

Rothelowman Associate Jun Chang said the design process provided an opportunity to create more generous floorplans.

"We were given the opportunity to be more generous. The apartments became bigger and squarer than any other apartments which had been designed in the CBD before that."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=368869]

That thinking carries through to the Eliza Collection, where the residences have been designed around the space and functionality associated with a larger home, but positioned high above the centre of Melbourne.

Kitchens are equipped with Gaggenau appliances, a butler's pantry, temperature-controlled wine cabinet and sculptural pendant lighting, while engineered timber flooring, stone and porcelain finishes and custom cabinetry feature throughout the broader interiors.

Privacy and security are another point of distinction. Eliza Collection residents have dedicated lift access, while 640 Bourke Street will provide concierge services and secure resident parking. Short-stay accommodation, including Airbnb, will not be permitted within the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365689]

Eliza Collection residents will also have exclusive access to selected amenity spaces across levels one and three of the restored Eliza Tinsley building. These include the Salon with grand piano, an art therapy room, private dining rooms and treatment rooms.

They sit within more than 3,000 sqm of amenity planned across 640 Bourke Street, alongside facilities including a pool, gym, whisky lounge and further social and wellness spaces.

The Eliza Tinsley building itself is central to the wider project's identity. Rather than treating the existing Eliza Tinsley façade as a separate element, Rothelowman used it as a starting point for the architecture of the new tower, with the historic building to accommodate the project's gallery and lobby.

"It's a significant asset and wants to be celebrated and experienced by all residents every single time they go in and out of the building," Rothelowman Principal Stuart Marsland said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=368872]

The tower will rise behind the retained heritage building at 640 Bourke Street, placing residents within walking distance of Southern Cross Station, Flagstaff Gardens, Queen Victoria Market and the Docklands waterfront.

With construction scheduled to begin in October, Far East Consortium has established an onsite display gallery at 640 Bourke Street, including fully built apartments that allow the project's layouts, materials and finishes to be inspected at full scale.

A fully built Eliza Collection apartment is also available to view at the display suite by appointment ahead of the planned October construction commencement.

Eligible purchasers who buy before construction commences can secure the full available off-the-plan stamp duty savings, subject to eligibility and applicable conditions.

Far East Consortium brings Eliza Collection to 640 Bourke Street ahead of October construction start

Mirvac

Marissa Li was the first person to buy an apartment in Mirvac&#39;s Sydney Olympic Park development Pavilions back in 2017.

The 27-year old first home buyer, who was also the first&nbsp;to settle on her apartment in the 35-level Scarlet, the tallest building at Pavilions, was able to secure the apartment with a five per cent deposit through Mirvac&#39;s The Right Start initiative.

Now having moved in, Marissa is paying $100 a week less in mortgage repayments than she was at her rented Wolli Creek apartment. She paid the further five per cent deposit required in instalments over the three years that Pavilions took to build.

When Marissa began looking for her first home three years ago, The Right Start gave her the opportunity to get her foot in the door with a low deposit and ahead of investors. With reassurance from a family member who had bought at Mirvac&rsquo;s Harold Park development, Marissa felt confident about buying off the plan.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7363 project_image_fid=166639]

&ldquo;As someone starting out, buying at Pavilions through The Right Start made a lot of sense to me,&rdquo; Marissa said.

&ldquo;I knew it was the only way I could afford to buy and have a few years to save. If I have a set goal I can save towards that, instead of waiting and only saving a bit here and there.&rdquo;

Marissa attended the launch with her mother and aunt and being first in the line was able to secure the cheapest apartment. But she later changed her mind and decided to pay a little extra to have an apartment with a better outlook over the park-like courtyard garden.

Mirvac&rsquo;s General Manager of Residential Development in NSW Toby Long said it is always a special moment to see people like&nbsp;Marissa moving in to their apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7363 project_image_fid=166641]

&quot;It&nbsp;makes the efforts of our development and construction teams, to keep working through all the challenges of the past few months, all the more worthwhile,&rdquo; Long said.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s been a long journey from the nervous excitement on the day we launched Pavilions to now, where we have a beautiful building with apartments designed and built to the quality that people expect from Mirvac. We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved and to see the beginnings of the Pavilions community.&rdquo;

Marissa has had plenty of time to consider whether she made the right decision to buy and is adamant she has no regrets.

&ldquo;I am 110% pleased that I bought. I guess you always doubt yourself but I&rsquo;m much happier to be paying off a mortgage than dead money in rent.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7363 project_image_fid=41840]

Marissa&rsquo;s happiness with her move is not confined to financial concerns but also the ability to live a more sustainable lifestyle.

&ldquo;I try my best but if the development can lead the way, that fits into my lifestyle,&rdquo; Marissa said. &ldquo;The sustainability at Pavilions is very appealing for me. The toilet and laundry use recycled water and the bins are designed so that recyclable waste is separated. I have my Brompton bike and I&rsquo;m thinking about selling my car and just using the car share that is available at Pavilions when I need it.&rdquo;

Pavilions is now completed, with apartments selling from $625,000.

Why first home buyer Marissa Li bought an apartment in Pavilions, Mirvac's Sydney Olympic Park development

Mirvac&#39;s Sydney Olympic Park apartment development Pavilions is the reputable ASX-listed developer&#39;s&nbsp;largest ever single stage development.

The&nbsp;four buildings constructed simultaneously using four cranes at one time.

It&#39;s been strategically located in a growth area where billions of dollars are still to be invested, particularly in the transport infrastructure which will see the commute to the Sydney CBD slashed to just 20 minutes.

The apartments have favoured working professionals, well advanced in their careers, Mirvac&#39;s general manager of residential Toby Long told Urban.

Urban recently sat down with Toby to discuss Pavilions.

&nbsp;JR: Why was Sydney Olympic Park chosen as a location for a Mirvac project?

TL: Mirvac has a long history on the Olympic Peninsula. We delivered the Athletes Village for the 2000 Olympics, which we adapted to create the suburb of Newington, developed more than 900 apartments at Rhodes Waterside, and luxury waterfront homes at Cabarita. So, the location and market were familiar territory for Mirvac and ticked all the boxes for good property investment &ndash; location, amenity, public transport, and billions of dollars in infrastructure on the way.

Sydney Olympic Park lies in Sydney&rsquo;s geographic heart, between the CBDs of Parramatta and Sydney, straddling east and west. It also lies within the knowledge corridor where the smart jobs of the future are concentrated and is key to realising the economic and social ambitions for the Greater Parramatta and Olympic Peninsula.

Olympic Park is also quite unique in being a growth area - a young and vibrant suburb that has a lot to offer. Everything you need is already there &ndash; cafes, restaurants, world class leisure and fitness facilities, train station, retail close by and this incredible 430-hectare parkland, right on the doorstep.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7363 project_image_fid=41840]

There are billions of dollars still to be invested at Sydney Olympic Park, especially in transport infrastructure, as well as a new high school proposed for nearby Wentworth Point. There will be an Olympic Park station on the Metro West line, with a journey time of just 20 minutes from Parramatta to the Sydney CBD. Light Rail stage 2, connecting Olympic Park to Parramatta is back on the agenda with recent NSW Budget funding to advance planning.

JR: Who did you identify as the buyer demographic when the design was in its early stages, and why this demographic?

TL: The demographic profile at Olympic Park and surrounding suburbs showed that residents are younger and better educated than the NSW average. The dominant age group is 25-34 and 45 per cent of residents have a bachelor degree or higher, twice the NSW average. The population is truly multicultural with around 70 per cent of residents first or second-generation Australians whose parents were born overseas.

Our assumption was that buyers at Pavilions Residences would follow a similar trend and that has been borne out, with a high level of professionals well-advanced on their career journey.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7363 project_image_fid=166641]

The buyer profile has differed in one significant respect with a far higher proportion of owner-occupiers than investors. Mirvac tends to attract more owner-occupiers because of our focus on quality and longevity. We do have a good following of investors who know that the price premium for a quality property is recouped in lower maintenance and repair costs, and strong capital gain.

JR: What was the design brief for the towers? And was there a shortlist of &ldquo;must-haves?&rdquo;&nbsp;

TL: Pavilions Residences stands at the gateway to Sydney Olympic Park, therefore a strong architectural statement was called for. Equally important was creating a connection with the natural environment and designing around three majestic Moreton Bay fig trees. Two of these decades old trees stand at the Australia Avenue edge of Pavilions Residences, forming a botanical marker for Sydney Olympic Park. The other was relocated to a new position on the site in a delicate six-month operation. The key design principles were:

-Vary the building heights to enrich the future desired scale and character of the precinct; 
-&nbsp;Create a more successful transition from 30+ storey residential towers on Australia Avenue to lower-scale buildings within the precinct; 
-&nbsp;Provide a gateway to Sydney Olympic Park from Australia Avenue south; 
- Minimise overshadowing to communal space; 
-&nbsp;Provide retail amenity and courtyard adjacent to the existing Fig Trees; 
-&nbsp;Use contrasting materials to create visual interest and define the scale and architectural quality of the building; 
-&nbsp;Maintain accessible communal open space with areas for passive and active recreation;

All open space and common areas to have access to natural light and air, and all lift cores open onto large lobbies with windows providing natural outlook and seating. 
 
JR: What did BVN bring to the table? Did they win a design competition? How did the process go for appointing them?

TL: BVN won the Design Excellence competition&nbsp;and then submitted a revised design following amendments to the Sydney Olympic Park 2030 Masterplan. The updated masterplan allowed for increased floor space in response to Government proposals for Metro West and Light Rail connection. This paved the way for a taller gateway tower with more apartments enjoying the sensational views over the district to the city.

JR: What do you feel are the biggest draw cards for buyers?

TL: Buyers seeking quality construction and finishes, and layouts that enhance liveability, are naturally drawn to Mirvac apartments. Pavilions Residences offers Mirvac&rsquo;s customary quality along with a living environment that has been carefully considered to enhance the connection to nature. From the moment you enter Pavilions, stroll along the majestic colonnade past beautiful gardens, you feel uplifted. That feeling continues as you enter the lobby with its exclusive residents&rsquo; lounge, al fresco terrace and co-working space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7363 project_image_fid=166649]

The shared spaces, including the gardens, with bocce court, barbecues and covered dining pavilions, and fully equipped gymnasium, all contribute to a healthy lifestyle and opportunities for residents to get to know each other and build a strong sense of community. The other important factor for buyers is proximity to 430 hectares of parkland right on the doorstep and a location between the two CBDs of Parramatta and Sydney. The advantages of living between these two powerhouse CBDs will become even more apparent as major transport infrastructure such as Metro West and Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2 are completed in coming years.

JR: Can you talk a bit about the Mirvac milestones for Pavilions Residences?

TL:&nbsp;Pavilions Residences was the largest single stage development ever undertaken by Mirvac with the four buildings constructed simultaneously using four cranes at one time. Over 40,000 cubic metres of concrete went into the build, along with 175,000 bricks, 17,200 sqm of floor tiling and 9,100 sqm of balcony pavers.

Innovation has been a constant at Pavilions Residences. LIV Indigo at Pavilions is Mirvac&rsquo;s entry into the burgeoning build to rent sector, offering long term secure leases.

Mirvac&rsquo;s investment in LIV Indigo is a bonus for buyers of Pavilions Residences, ensuring an on-going commitment to the success of the project.

Another first at Pavilions Residences is our world first apartment using &lsquo;green ceramics&rsquo; made from waste glass and textiles as a construction material. Through Mirvac&rsquo;s on-going collaboration with the UNSW Centre for Sustainable Materials Research and Technology (SMaRT) the apartment opens the door to zero waste in construction and a reduction in demand for resources.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7363 project_image_fid=170821]

JR: How do you see the Sydney Olympic Park area changing in the next five to 10 years?

TL: Sydney Olympic Park has undergone massive change in the past five years and this will only continue in the five to 10 years ahead. Five years ago, the resident population was only about 1,500; today it is more than 6,000. The Sydney Olympic Park 2030 Masterplan lays out a vision for the future with an expanded Town Centre catering for around 23,500 residents and a daily worker population of around 34,000 and 5,000 students.

As major transport projects are completed, early adopters are likely to reap the benefit, living within minutes of the Parramatta and Sydney CBDs by Metro Rail, while enjoying the rare luxury of parkland right on the doorstep. The East has Centennial Park, the West has Bicentennial Park, more than twice the size with a greater variety of walking and cycling trails.

The apartments have favoured working professionals, well advanced in their careers, Mirvac's general manager of residential Toby Long told Urban.

The ASX-listed property developer Mirvac have increased their residential pipeline in Melbourne for 2022, acquiring a site on the tightly held Princes Park precinct alongside Brunswick&#39;s Princess Hill.

The purchase comes as Mirvac release&nbsp;the final stage of their sought-after Doncaster precinct, Apartments of Tullamore.

FORME Apartments, the last stage of the 47 hectare masterplanned community,&nbsp;are inspired by nature, with garden spaces by award-winning landscape designer Paul Bangay.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100322 project_image_fid=163036]

The 699 Park Street&nbsp;development, to be known as Park Street, will home around 200 apartments and is expected to launch to the market in mid-2022, with construction anticipated to commence later that year.

Formerly a hotel, the 6,495 sqm site features uninterrupted park and city views and around 100 metre frontage to Princes Park. It is located within walking distance to Brunswick and Carlton North. The&nbsp;University of Melbourne and the Royal Hospital precinct are part of the local neighbourhood.

Mirvac&rsquo;s Head of Residential, Stuart Penklis, says that the prestigious Park Street site offers an opportunity for Mirvac to strategically expand its pipeline and create a new legacy project at the northern gateway to Melbourne.

&ldquo;Mirvac is focused on diversifying its portfolio across a range of different markets and is always looking for opportunities to create high-quality apartment offerings,&quot; Penklis said.

&quot;In many ways the Park Street site echoes the essence of East Melbourne, an outstanding location with access to the best cultural amenity, right on the cusp of Melbourne&rsquo;s CBD.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100322 project_image_fid=163028]

Penklis says the demand from local owner-occupiers looking for quality apartments in well serviced locations continues, but points to a recent uptick in right-sizers.

&quot;Families, couples and singles looking for larger apartments that offer a low maintenance, secure lifestyle, close to amenity &ndash; something that Park Street will offer in abundance,&rdquo; Penklis says.

There were plans already in place for 699 Park Street by Architectus for JW Land, however Mirvac are still finalising the scheme of what they want to create.

Mirvac bolster 2022 apartment development pipeline with Park Street, Brunswick site purchase

Having sold out the first two residential stages of their Ascot Green development flanking the Eagle Park Racecourse in Brisbane, the ASX-listed developer Mirvac has lodged plans for its third stage.

The third, subtropical-inspired apartment block will rise 14 levels with 111 apartments and a rooftop with panoramic city and track views. That will also feature a private dining room and lounge areas.

It will home the community&#39;s first four-bedroom apartments, as well as four integrated terraces with direct access to green open space fronting the racecourse.

The ground level will feature a gym and resort-style pool overlooking the racecourse.

Mirvac Head of Residential Stuart Penklis said the developer was already taking registrations of interest, including from purchasers who missed out on securing their place in Tulloch House (pictured below.)

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27704 project_image_fid=152793]

It is anticipated the new release, the third at Ascot Green, would go to market in late 2021 or early 2022, pending approval from Brisbane City Council.

&nbsp;

&ldquo;The demand for apartments in Brisbane is extremely high, particularly at the top end,&rdquo;&nbsp;Penklis said.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re seeing this being driven by a number of factors, including local owner-occupiers capitalising on the strong growth of their family home to secure a generous apartment, upgraders expanding their living space and location, and continued high interstate migration.&quot;

Nearly two-thirds of buyers in Ascot House and Tulloch House&nbsp;came from adjoining blue-chip suburbs like Ascot, Hamilton and Clayfield, a trend in which Penklis suggests will continue in the newest building.

&nbsp;

There&#39;s also the intergenerational buyer, where&nbsp;multiple purchasers from one family are seeking individual apartments in the community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27556 project_image_fid=71309]

Mirvac Design have described the new building design as an ode to its Ascot surrounds and a reimagination of the classic Queenslander.

Mirvac Design director Nicolas Thioulouse said the architecture of the planned building was guided by the &lsquo;Buildings that Breathe&rsquo; vision and design elements friendly to South East Queensland&#39;s climate.

&ldquo;We have focused on aligning the proposed building with Brisbane&rsquo;s beautiful sub-tropical climate and its truly unique location, surrounded by 50 hectares of green space,&rdquo; Thioulouse said.

&ldquo;In keeping with the peaceful and natural surrounds, residents will enjoy the authentically Queenslander experiences of shade and shelter, and screening and greenery, with the ability to open and close elements as they wish to maximise natural light and ventilation.

The sold-out Tulloch House features 84 one, two and three-bedroom apartments and luxury penthouses, which achieved from $450,000 to more than $2 million. The apartments are due to be completed in late 2021.

The first stage, Ascot House, sold-out all 90 apartments in 2020 and is completed.

It was announced earlier this week Tulloch House, featuring 84 apartments, had sold out, with completion expected by the end of the year.

Mirvac fast-track third apartment stage at Eagle Farm Racecourse development, Ascot Green

The ASX-listed developer Mirvac has secured a sell-out of its Tulloch House apartment development, part of their wider $1.2 billion&nbsp;masterplan alongside Eagle Farm Racecourse in Brisbane&#39;s Ascot.

The 84 one, two and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses in Tulloch House sold for between $450,000 to over $2 million. There has been $18 million worth of sales in 2021.

Construction&nbsp;is well advanced,&nbsp;with the eight-level building&nbsp;recently topping out,&nbsp;with work being finalised on the interior joinery fit-out, balconies and the expansive roof terrace.

The apartments feature panoramic views north across the 50 hectare green space of the heritage racecourse and expansive views to the Brisbane city skyline to the south.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27704 project_image_fid=71319]

Residents are expected to move in at the end of 2021.

Ascot Green is part of Brisbane Racing Club&rsquo;s $1.2 billion masterplan redevelopment of Eagle Farm, which will include apartments, commercial offices, dining, services and a range of entertainment options.

Mirvac has started taking registrations of interest ahead of the launch of the third building in Ascot Green, anticipated to launch either later this year or early next.

Mirvac Head of Residential Stuart Penklis said its reputation as a highly desirable place to live had driven demand for the final apartments in Tulloch House.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27704 project_image_fid=152793]

&ldquo;While all Tulloch House apartments have now been secured, we have continued to field interest from those wanting a place in the community, prompting us to expedite the timeline for our next chapter of Ascot Green,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;We are in the design phase and working to bring this release to the market as soon as possible. While the finer details are being finalised, it will follow in the footsteps of our first two stages, Ascot House and Tulloch House, delivering high quality apartments to this one-of-a-kind location.&rdquo;

Penklis said&nbsp;the rare opportunity to live close to the Brisbane CBD and next to 50 hectares of green open space appealed to buyers.

&ldquo;This is a unique location that can&rsquo;t be replicated elsewhere in the city,&rdquo; he said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27556 project_image_fid=71309]

&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve found the opportunity to live with so much green space at the doorstep has been a significant drawcard for buyers, including young professionals, families and downsizers.

&ldquo;As the first residential project of its kind on a racecourse in Australia, we have the opportunity to set the bar for this style of development and have paid careful attention to embracing the historic elements of the site, with the masonry brickwork carrying through the design.

&ldquo;The upcoming building will continue to reflect its surrounds, with a new take on fa&ccedil;ade, interiors and apartment layouts that will deliver a first for the precinct, benefiting the residents who call these truly remarkable apartments home.&rdquo;

The ASX-listed national developer Mirvac working alongside Victoria Investments and Properties (VIP), have secured over 100 townhouse sales in their Rockbank&nbsp;masterplanned community Woodlea, west of Melbourne,&nbsp;over the last financial year.

And they rounded out the financial with a bang, snappily selling the full collection of&nbsp;nine of its top end townhouses, the first ever three storey, four bedroom residences released in the 711 hectare development.

They made up the mini-neighbourhood&nbsp;Central Quarter, located in a private neighbourhood next to the newly opened town centre.

The&nbsp;townhouses, created by Mirvac Homes,&nbsp;each have&nbsp;uninterrupted parkfront views. They were priced from $489,999, and were all snapped up within 48 hours&nbsp;of the registrations of interest campaign.

They comprise four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study area, a double garage and front and rear landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28733 project_image_fid=167737]

Woodlea Project Director Matthew Dean said that demand for townhouses in Woodlea have remained strong throughout the past year, with each townhouse release selling out within days of launching.

&quot;We have a growing list of buyers on a waitlist, who are seeking the compelling offering of townhouse living at Woodlea,&quot; Dean said.

&ldquo;These homes come ready to move in, everything is included, even to the extent of a letterbox and fencing, which appeals to a lot of buyers. They can have the house and land dream but without the added setup costs,&rdquo; he said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28733 project_image_fid=167735]

Overlooking the future heritage Outlook Park, Central Quarter is within walking distance to the newly opened Woodlea Town - home to a large-scale Coles, Aintree Public Primary School, Bacchus Marsh Grammar and Woodlea&rsquo;s sport precinct, offering tennis courts, football and cricket ovals.

Currently home to 7,500 residents, Woodlea is set to see 20,000 residents move in on completion.

Like many other Sydney display suites, the Pavilions display suite is closed.

However the &nbsp;Mirvac sales office at Sydney Olympic Park is open by virtual appointment due to the current Covid-19 restrictions.

Buyers have been told the actual sales office is currently closed until Saturday 10th July pending State Government restrictions.

The project has 1, 2 or 3 bedroom apartments, plus skyhomes and terrace for sale.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7363 project_image_fid=166645]

The display suite at Portman House, Green Square, Australia’s first residential building to seek WELL v2 certification, is also available via virtual appointment.

At Bondi Junction, the developer Lindsay Bennelong is open but by private appointment only at its Whitton Lane project.

"Due to Covid restrictions only one on one private appointments can be conducted," it has advised.

"Please wear a mask and we adhere to social distancing regulations," it noted.

The Adela, Burwood display suite of Aoyuan International is advised as "closed during lockdown - till further notice."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6842 project_image_fid=79499]

Meriton advises "due to temporary COVID restrictions private appointments and virtual appointments are now available between 10am – 5pm 7 days a week" at its Pagewood Green Orchid display suite.

Atelier, the Ceerose project at 32 Jarret Street, Leichhardt, advises its buyers that it was "continuing to closely monitor the ongoing COVID-19 situation, with the health and well-being of our customers and staff as a top priority."

"To maximise precautions, and in the interest of your safety all inspections have been moved to private appointments.&nbsp;

"Should you visit there will be some screening questions we’ll need to ask you in addition to practicing safe social distancing guidelines including observing a distance of 1.5m between people and limiting numbers to 3 people per appointment."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14867 project_image_fid=78381]

The severest closure came when Melbourne developers saw their display suites closed for two months until late October last year with the lifting of pandemic restrictions on open inspections.

Last week the RBA lauded apartment developers using virtual walk-throughs in place of in-person inspections since the pandemic hit the country early last year.

The reference to property development firms using virtual walk-throughs came in a speech from RBA assistant governor Luci Ellis.

Frasers Midtown sales and display centre at Macquarie Park remains open according to its website marketing, but by appointment only.&nbsp;

"Like our team, we request you practice good hand hygiene, wear an approved face covering and maintain physical distancing, by keeping 1.5m away from others.

"Our sales team are also available via phone, video and email according to your preferences, so we can safeguard the health of our customers and staff," its website advised.

The Real Estate Institute of NSW CEO Tim McKibbin noted while the operating environment for agents and consumers is temporarily interrupted, he said the fundamentals remain largely unchanged.&nbsp;

"Demand still outstrips supply and prices can be expected to remain strong, though the pace of growth has naturally eased," he said.

Mirvac&rsquo;s Voyager tower is one of the newest developments set within the master planned Yarra&rsquo;s Edge precinct.

Located on the Docklands waterfront, the 315 apartment development rises 130 metres from the ground, with 43 levels soaring into the sky.

Set for completion in the coming months, Voyager will be the ninth completed tower in the Yarra&rsquo;s Edge development following the completed Forge just adjacent.&nbsp;

Urban has taken a deeper look&nbsp;and highlighted the top seven attributes of Voyager&nbsp;that should interest buyers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=89724]

<h2>1. Developed by the All In One Experts, Mirvac</h2>

Mirvac is one of Australia&#39;s leading, diversified property groups shaping and creating developments across Australia.

From top to bottom Voyager shows off Mirvac&rsquo;s penchant for quality control, with design and construction also being handled by their in-house teams.

Mirvac have also put a green foot forward as a leading influence amongst developers in the transition towards renewable and sustainable residential projects with a target to become net carbon positive by 2030.

With over 49 years of architecture experience they don&#39;t stop at shaping just buildings Mirvac is really about building a community, and it doesn&#39;t get much better than Yarra&#39;s Edge in Docklands.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=164637]

<h2>2. Live life your way in the Docklands Precinct</h2>

Yarra&rsquo;s Edge is a rare 14.5-hectare inner-city sanctuary located on the north-facing bank of the Yarra River, with strong connectivity to the CBD, Southbank and the future Fishermans Bend precinct.

Nearby there&#39;s a selection of cafes and restaurants, from casual cafes to upmarket eateries, including Anchor Eatery, Espressionist Cafe, Hooks at the Yarra, Lorimer Gallery, Mad Duck Caf&eacute;, Pizza Societe and Sassone Italian Restaurant.

The YE Marina caters for boats up to 30 metres. It features full services booths with power and water facilities, 24-hour security and wireless internet access.

Part of the Voyager tower will be The Wharf Club &ndash; a state-of-the-art health and fitness facility which boasts a pool, spa, steam room, gym, fitness facilities and caf&eacute;.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=90814]

<h2>3. Come home to ease and convenience</h2>

Aligning with the building&rsquo;s sophisticated and elegant residences, a large functional lobby space helps add to the development&rsquo;s hotel-luxe atmosphere.

The ground floor lobby will be home to the on-site concierge and the lobby gallery.

&ldquo;The curved surfaces of the lobby reflect the nature of the building, creating a holistic experience from inside to out&rdquo;, Mirvac Design Director Michael Weiner said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=164658]

<h2>4. Enjoy luxuries you&#39;ve never imagined at your fingertips</h2>

Featuring an abundance of premium amenities designed for residents and their guests to entertain or retreat, Mirvac has gone all out at Voyager.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the rooftop Skydeck and Bar includes a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces.

Rooftop space includes large rooftop terrace, BBQ, firepit, yoga lawn, bar, dining room with chef&#39;s kitchen, theatre/karaoke room.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=89070]

<h2>5. Voyager offers buyers choice</h2>

Voyager offers residents the choice between two polished colour schemes, Halcyon and Intrepid.

Halcyon, marketed towards those who &ldquo;understand sophistication,&rdquo; features neutral accents, stone benches, metallic finishes and soft tones.

Meanwhile Intrepid explores darker tones, with a different colour scheme for the joinery and benchtops.

The Mirvac Design team&rsquo;s goal was to create contemporary, versatile residences to suit all lifestyles and life cycles, ensuring Voyager appeals to a broad demographic of purchasers through a diverse range of built form and liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=164641]

<h2>6. Enjoy a&nbsp;Melbourne CBD location with an aspect of the city</h2>

As the tallest building to date at Yarra&rsquo;s Edge, Voyager offers sweeping views across the city skyline and beyond.

Dominating the Docklands skyline, the striking tower&rsquo;s smooth glass exterior is a beacon catching the eye those coming to Melbourne over the Bolte Bridge.

&ldquo;The curved fa&ccedil;ades reflect the changing light as the sun moves on its daily journey, an iconic beacon that welcomes residents home&rdquo;, Mirvac Design Director Michael Wiener said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=164639]

<h2>7. Priced affordably for Investors and Owner Occupiers</h2>

Comprising 315 apartments, Voyager has a collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments with prices starting as low as $601,500 for a one bedroom apartment.

There is a spread of different sized two bedders on offer with prices starting at $706,500 for a two bedroom, one bathroom apartments and $774,400 for a two bedroom two bathroom apartment.

Three bedroom residences in the Docklands development start around $1.3 million.

A $3.15 million Walsh Bay sale topped weekend auction results for apartments across the capital cities.

The 136 sqm two bedroom Mirvac-built apartment was set in the Parbury building in the Walsh Bay precinct.&nbsp;

It was among the 333 apartments put to weekend auction across Sydney which saw a 77 percent success rate.
