<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/draycon">Draycon Building</a> is nearing completion of Boutique Chevron Island, a 42-apartment development on the northern end of Chevron Island at 17–19 Parneno Street, with a limited-time offer of fully furnished apartments available.

Now more than 90 per cent complete, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/boutique-chevron-island-17-19-parneno-chevron-island-qld-4217">Boutique</a> has been shaped by one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held island addresses, where riverfront outlooks and walkable access to Surfers Paradise converge.

For Draycon Building Managing Director Howard Dabit, the appeal of the site was immediate.

“I knew it was a good site as soon as I saw it,” Dabit said.

“The position and location on the north end of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>, the way the river swirls around the site basically from the north to the east, it feels like the site is surrounded by the water. The height that we’ve got and the aspect looking north is beautiful. Eighty per cent of the apartments are looking north so they get that drenching sunlight coming in.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360922]

That northern orientation places the development within a stretch of Chevron Island defined by open river aspects and skyline views, while remaining embedded in the suburb’s established village setting.

Chevron Island has increasingly drawn owner-occupiers seeking centrality without the intensity of high-rise beachfront living. Positioned at the geographical centre of the Gold Coast, the island offers direct access to both the beach and key cultural infrastructure while retaining a neighbourhood-scale character.

Connected by bridge to Surfers Paradise, Chevron Island offers walkable access to beaches, riverfront parklands and a revitalised foreshore boulevard animated by walkers and cyclists throughout the day. The Pacific Ocean is only minutes away, reinforcing the suburb’s dual river-and-surf identity.

At the same time, Thomas Drive forms the spine of the island’s village life, delivering cafés, wine bars, casual dining and everyday services within easy reach. Independent grocers, wellness operators and neighbourhood retailers contribute to a community atmosphere that remains distinct from the vertical scale of the beachfront.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360915]

In the opposite direction, the Green Bridge links directly to HOTA – Home of the Arts – placing galleries, performance venues and parklands within walking distance. Weekly markets and major exhibitions draw visitors from across the region, while residents return to a quieter residential pocket at day’s end.

Public transport, including nearby bus routes and the G:link light rail corridor along the coastal spine, strengthens connectivity north and south. Griffith University, the Gold Coast University Hospital precinct and established private schools such as The Southport School are all within a short drive.

Ongoing investment across Surfers Paradise, HOTA and the broader Southport corridor has elevated amenity while preserving Chevron Island’s comparatively low-rise residential character. It is this balance, walkable village atmosphere paired with metropolitan-scale infrastructure, that continues to differentiate the suburb from higher-density beachfront precincts.

Boutique comprises just 42 residences, designed to maximise river and skyline outlooks within this tightly held island setting.

Boutique Chevron Island is slated for completion in April 2026, with prices starting from $1,220,000.

Draycon Building’s Boutique Chevron Island places 42 residences at the heart of the Gold Coast

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> has secured planning approval for a $300 million residential development in Lindfield, marking the company’s second project on Sydney’s North Shore and its first on the Upper North Shore.

Located on Beaconsfield Parade and designed by DKO Architecture, the state significant development comprises three buildings of up to 10 storeys and will include 399 residences, including 59 affordable homes and 40 adaptable homes.

Residences will range in size from one, two and three bedrooms, with two-bedroom apartments accounting for over 60 per cent of the product make-up. Residents will have access to a broad suite of amenities, including a wellness area, indoor and outdoor recreational spaces, a pool, a gym, a community room and a golf simulator.

In line with Deicorp’s long-standing focus on creating transit-oriented communities, the project is located just 260 metres from the Lindfield Train Station, reinforcing its role in delivering well-connected housing close to established infrastructure, retail and local services.

The inclusion of affordable and adaptable housing supports greater diversity within the local market, while the mix of apartment types responds to demand from downsizers, young professionals and families seeking access to the Upper North Shore.

Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri OAM said the approval represents an important milestone for both the company and the suburb

“This approval allows us to deliver well-designed homes in a location that is already supported by strong transport and community infrastructure," Deiri said.

"Our focus is on creating places that integrate into their surroundings and provide long-term value for residents, and the broader Lindfield community. Being within walking distance of the station ensures this project supports sustainable growth in the right locations."

Across its portfolio, Deicorp currently has 4,703 apartments under construction, playing a leading role in shaping connected, liveable communities across Sydney.

Its expanding portfolio of Metro-linked developments includes Tallawong Village, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-five-dock-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> in Five Dock, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hyde-metropolitan-sydney-133-141-liverpool-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Hyde Metropolitan</a> in Sydney CBD, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/falcon-alexander-crows-nest-8-alexander-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Falcon &amp; Alexander</a> in Crows Nest and Showground Village, Castle Hill.

Deicorp purchased the Beaconsfield Paradise site last year. Construction is scheduled to commence in Q2 of 2026 and will be completed in 2029.

In a joint venture with The Trump Organization, Australia developer Altus Property Group has announced plans to bring a Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower to the Gold Coast, marking the first Trump-branded project in Australia.

"Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast is our first official project in Australia and reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering world-class luxury experiences in iconic locations around the world," Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, said.

"This development exemplifies the Trump brand’s dedication to quality, sophistication, and unmatched service, and we are thrilled to bring this vision to the vibrant Gold Coast community."

The 91-storey building, which will become the tallest in Australia at 335 metres, will feature a&nbsp;285-room luxury hotel bearing the trademark Trump logo. It will also include 272 luxury residential apartments, a three-level podium with an exclusive Beach Club, and over 3,400 sqm of premium commercial, retail, and dining space, revitalizing the central Surfers Paradise precinct.

“Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast will be a truly unique offering in the Australian market, bringing the prestige and allure of a world-class luxury brand,"&nbsp;Altus founder and chief executive David Young said.

"Altus Property Group is proud of its track record in delivering landmark developments across Australia, and our expertise ensures this project will be an outstanding success."

Trump Hotel heads for the Gold Coast to become Australia's tallest building

More than a century after the Corrimal Coke Works first opened in 1912, the industrial landmark that helped shape the suburb is being reinterpreted as a walkable residential neighbourhood, with Stage One of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-works-stage-one-27-railway-street-corrimal-nsw-2518">The Works</a> now underway at 27 Railway Street.

For 102 years, the site was central to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/corrimal-nsw-2518">Corrimal</a>’s economic and social identity before operations ceased in 2014. Rather than erasing that legacy, developer Legacy Property has embedded it into the masterplan, retaining and reinterpreting elements such as the iconic 1912 brick chimney and sections of the original C1 Coke Oven Battery, alongside the adaptive reuse of the former powerhouse building.

Stage One will introduce 181 apartments across low-rise buildings, offering predominantly two and three-bedroom residences with completion targeted for mid-2027. The scale and configuration reflect a deliberate focus on owner-occupiers, targeting those seeking a lower-maintenance home in a prime location within the northern suburbs of Wollongong.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359833]

Apartments have been designed to maximise natural light and cross-ventilation, with floor-to-ceiling glazing extending living areas onto generous balconies. Engineered timber flooring, induction cooktops and 900mm ovens in larger residences support everyday functionality, while two interior palettes allow buyers to tailor finishes to their preferences. The material selection draws on a restrained coastal language, intended to connect homes to their surroundings rather than compete with them.

The Works forms part of a broader 18-hectare masterplan that will ultimately deliver around 550 dwellings, new parks, and a heritage precinct celebrating the site’s past. More than seven hectares are dedicated to open space, including Southern Park and a Village Green with community gardens and recreation areas. The creek corridor is being rehabilitated with 150,000 native plantings, restoring biodiversity to the site and softening landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359841]

Positioned adjacent to Corrimal Station and within walking distance of Corrimal Town Centre, the precinct places daily essentials, rail connections and local retail within easy reach. Wollongong CBD, including the hospital, university and entertainment venues, sits approximately 6.5 kilometres to the south.

For buyers more familiar with North Wollongong, Corrimal offers a different proposition: a well-established coastal suburb framed by beaches to the east and the escarpment to the west, with a strong sense of local identity shaped in part by the former Coke Works. The Works seeks to reinforce that identity by creating a connected, walkable neighbourhood between coast and escarpment, rather than a standalone apartment complex.

Sustainability underpins the development approach. The Works is targeting Wollongong’s first 5-Star Green Star-rated community, with water-sensitive urban design, recycled materials and energy-efficient buildings integrated across the masterplan. For residents, these measures provide not only environmental benefits but also reduced operational costs and future resilience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359842]

With construction commenced and display materials available to view, prospective buyers can now engage more directly with the project’s vision, reviewing floorplans, material selections and the broader masterplan in detail. For many local homeowners weighing a move, the opportunity to experience how heritage, landscape and contemporary design intersect may help bridge the gap between familiarity and the next chapter.

As Stage One progresses toward its mid-2027 completion, The Works represents a significant chapter in Corrimal’s evolution, transforming a site that once powered local industry into a walkable residential precinct designed for its next generation of residents.

When it comes to developing in Melb​ourne's Bayside region, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lowe-living">Lowe Living</a> knows exactly what buyers want.

With a longstanding presence in the area and a string of sell-out projects, Lowe Living consistently delivers developments that are as sought-after as their predecessors.

Their latest instalment is in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-vic-3188">Hampton</a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-east-vic-3188">&nbsp;East,</a> the same postcode where they have previously delivered Hampton Hill and Oceano. The developer-builder recently commenced construction on its newest project,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marella-hampton-31-35-alicia-street-hampton-east-vic-3188">Marella</a>, a collection of 32 apartments just five minutes from the beach.

Site acquisition is paramount to success. Lowe Living rarely brings a building to market that isn’t within walking distance of essential amenities, whether it be the beach, a prominent retail strip, or a train station. Marella is no exception, located at its Alicia Street address, less than a kilometre from the retail heart of Hampton Street and Hampton Station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358495]

Equally important to Lowe Living is the architecture.

For Marella, they appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, who explains that the architectural vision was to create a contemporary reinterpretation of the Californian bungalow, a style that’s iconic to Hampton’s heritage.

"By borrowing, abstracting, and reinterpreting elements of this quintessential style, such as strong datum lines, articulated columns, exposed structures, and roof tiles, our design strikes a balance between modernity and familiarity," says Cera Stribley.

"This approach ensures that the development is not only visually appealing but also contextually sensitive, resonating with Hampton's existing architectural landscape."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358499]

The building features terracotta brick, soft cream masonry, and exposed metal detailing, giving it a tactile presence that is intended to weather gently over time.

Internally, the focus on lasting quality continues, with two and three-bedroom residences anchored by sculptural stone kitchen islands, natural light, and clearly defined transitions between living, dining, and outdoor spaces.

The layouts have been carefully designed. Open-plan zones extend to private balconies, with light-filled interiors and generous kitchen proportions, supported by Miele wall ovens, induction cooktops, and integrated fridge-freezers. These are not small apartments rebranded as luxury; they have been designed at scale, with ample storage, hotel-style entry access, and secure basement parking provided as standard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358492]

At the uppermost level, Marella’s Signature Collection penthouses offer city or bay views, large entertaining terraces (some with outdoor spas), and elevated finishes, including fully wrapped stone kitchen benches and a Liebherr wine fridge.

Flexible room arrangements allow for a fourth bedroom or secondary living space, sought-after by both empty nesters who want the space when family visits and families with older children.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358498]

A residents’ lounge on the ground floor reinforces the project’s small-community feel. With a fireplace, private dining area, and adjoining terrace, it’s one of several shared spaces that balance amenity with privacy and scale.

Construction has commenced, with completion expected in early 2027.

Moonee Valley Racecourse

ANZ has executed $295m of debt facilities to deliver the next stage of the $2 billion redevelopment of Moonee Valley Racecourse, known as Moonee Valley Park.

The loan to the developer, a joint venture between leading Melbourne private developer Hamton and leading industry superannuation fund Hostplus, represented by its Investment Manager ISPT, will primarily fund delivery of the next two residential stages, Trackside House and Stonepine House, comprising 325 apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110367 project_image_fid=199206]

Funds will also be used to seek planning permits on the balance of the development land and sitewide works to prepare for the Club’s works, which are due to commence in November 2025.

Hamton’s Executive Chairman, Paul Hameister, said, the scale of the debt package with ANZ is a reflection of the strength of security offered by the Hamton-Hostplus-MVRC partnership and the presale success of the latest stages.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=105114 project_image_fid=210523]

“It shows that for the right projects and the right developers, build-to-sell is still a development strategy that will secure the support of the big four banks,"&nbsp;Hameister said.

“ANZ’s collaborative approach and innovative thinking has added a lot of value to the project to date and we look forward to continuing that partnership through until project completion over the next decade."

Trackside and Stonepine House will&nbsp;sit alongside the already completed Feehan Row and Thomas Street, in addition to a range of premium residential amenity.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=105114 project_image_fid=210529]

Trackside House will comprise just over 200 apartments across 11 levels, while&nbsp;Stonepine House, now over 80 per cent sold, will have 119 two and three-bedroom units. Both buildings will have extensive resident amenity like a rooftop pool, hobby room, state of the art gym, and private dining areas which are bookable by the resident app.

Both projects are being built by Icon, who were appointed to construct the latest stages of the masterplan earlier this year.

ANZ backs Hamton-Hostplus with $295m loan for Moonee Valley Park development

Melbourne developer Hamton has appointed Icon to build both <a href="/new-apartments/stonepine-house-at-moonee-valley-park-kenna-street-moonee-ponds">Stonepine House</a> and <a href="/new-apartments/trackside-house-moonee-ponds-moonee-valley-racecourse-moonee-ponds">Trackside House</a>, their latest residential buildings in their $2 billion redevelopment of Moonee Valley Park.

The buildings will sit alongside the already completed Feehan Row and Thomas Street, in addition to a range of premium residential amenity.&nbsp;

Just over 200 residences will be delivered within the 11-storey <a href="/new-apartments/trackside-house-moonee-ponds-moonee-valley-racecourse-moonee-ponds">Trackside House building</a>, with prices starting from $565,000 for the one-bedroom apartments through to $5 million for the penthouse

[smartcode_project:default project_id=105114 project_image_fid=210522]

As the only residential building in the redevelopment to command views of the future finishing straight of the iconic Moonee Valley Racecourse, Trackside experienced early success,&nbsp;generating around $100 million worth of sales within 11 weeks of its launch.

Stonepine House has been similarly successful, sitting at over 80 per cent sold.&nbsp;

The residences, available in two and three-bedroom floorplans, feature newly designed floorplans and offer a sense of exclusivity within the thriving community. Prices in Stonepine start at $650,000.

Every apartment boasts <a href="/developments/moonee-ponds-vic-3039">views across Moonee Ponds</a> and the leafy Stonepine Square, with expansive windows and oversized balconies blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110367 project_image_fid=199225]

The two buildings, which share the same basement, have a combined end value of around $320 million and will be built together as part of a single contract.

The renowned architecture firm Rothelowman designed both Trackside and Stonepine House, working in collaboration with interiors experts Carr. The buildings were designed to compliment the 20 hectares of greenery surrounding the development.&nbsp;

Residents will enjoy a variety of hotel-inspired amenities across both buildings that extend the home living experience, including a concierge, a wellness sanctuary, gym, sauna, and a rooftop infinity pool and entertainment area, offering panoramic views of the track and city skyline.

Hamton appoints builder for Stonepine and Trackside House in Moonee Valley Park redevelopment

Trackside House at Moonee Valley Park, the first track-fronting residential offering at the $2 billion redevelopment of Moonee Valley Racecourse, has generated around $100 million worth of sales within 11 weeks of its launch.

Developer Hamton, who is developing&nbsp;Moonee Valley Park in a joint venture along with superannuation fund Hostplus and in partnership with Moonee Valley Racing Club (MVRC), had a VIP waitlist of buyers who received early access to Trackside House in October last year.

The early success of Trackside House follows its neighbour and previous stage, Stonepine House, which is now over&nbsp;80 percent sold.

The two buildings, which share the same basement, have a combined end value of around $320 million and will be built together as part of a single contract. Icon has been appointed as builder, and construction will commence in May.

Trackside House was designed by architect Rothelowman and interior design studio Carr and continues with the biophilic theme of Moonee Valley Park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=105114 project_image_fid=210517]

The project is designed to be a neighbourhood within a park, with around half of the masterplan dedicated to botanical green parklands and open space, that prioritises the lifestyle benefits of living amongst nature.

Residents will also have access to rooftop amenity featuring infinity pool, residents’ lounge, private dining, business lounge and a state-of-the-art wellness sanctuary – equipped with glass-walled yoga room, therapy room, sauna and fully equipped gym.

The development team attributes the strong results to Trackside House’s biggest point of difference – its dedicated track-fronting views of Moonee Valley Racecourse and to the CBD, offering an unparalleled vantage point down what will be the new finishing straight for each race meet each year, including the iconic Cox Plate.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=105114 project_image_fid=210518]

Hamton Property Group Executive Chairman Paul Hameister said the overwhelming sales demand has primarily been from downsizing locals.

“Melbournians are very loyal to the areas and communities in which they have grown up and raised families," Hameister said.

"There are very few premium offerings for downsizers in Melbourne’s inner north-west and we have sought to address that with Moonee Valley Park."

Hameister says the typical buyer in Trackside House has been an affluent local rightsizer.

"They are unaffected by the prospect of higher interest rates as they are cash buyers, selling a large home with little or no mortgage and after purchasing one of our homes, they have cash set aside to invest for retirement.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=105114 project_image_fid=210526]

“All of our buyers at Moonee Valley Park have been drawn by the appeal of living within an extensive new parkland, just 6km from the CBD.

“Many of those buyers in Trackside House also have a connection to Moonee Valley Racing Club, which has been such an integral part of this local community for 140 years."

“The runaway success of Trackside House reiterates the importance of a unique point-of-difference that sets a project apart from commodity-style apartment projects, particularly in this current stage of the market cycle."

Some investors are coming back into the market,&nbsp;Hameister added, although noted that they are looking at the market differently, suggesting they are&nbsp;wanting to buy homes where there is a strong exit strategy to owner-occupiers

Moonee Valley Park launched to the market in August 2019, and has since delivered two completed residential stages as well as amenities including Tote Park and TOTE Bar &amp; Dining – with the first residents moving into their new homes in 2022.

A further stage will complete construction later this year.

Buyers gallop to Moonee Valley Park's Trackside House apartments

Melbourne is set to witness one of the largest masterplanned community developments, as Hamton, in partnership with Moonee Valley Racing Club and Hostplus, transforms the Moonee Valley Racecourse into a world-class destination.

The $2 billion redevelopment will comprise of eight precincts, featuring residential developments, community hubs, green open spaces and dining options. The latest addition to this grand project is the hotly anticipated Trackside House apartments.

These apartments offer residents a chance to live right alongside the Moonee Valley Racecourse and enjoy unparalleled views of the city skyline. Designed by Rothelowman with interior design by Carr, Trackside House comprises 202 residences, ranging from one-bedroom apartments starting at $565,000 to grand three and four-bedroom residences, including the penthouse priced at $5 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=105114 project_image_fid=210517]

With its prime location, Trackside House is the first trackside residence to be offered in the masterplan. Residents will have access to premium amenities, and the opportunity to enjoy the unique lifestyle the masterplanned community offers.

Trackside is joined by three other residential projects, with Feehan Row and Thomas Street both sold out and limited opportunities remaining in Stonepine House, showcasing the demand and interest buyers have shown in the community.&nbsp;

The masterplanned community development will also feature various public spaces, including Stonepine Square, Cox Place, Tote Park, Rumpus, and The Stalls at Moonee Valley Racecourse. These public spaces provide a gathering place for visitors and residents to enjoy a dynamic, healthy lifestyle.

Stonepine Square is an idyllic gathering space built around existing turn-of-the-century Stone Pine trees. It features Mediterranean-themed plantings, shady pergolas draped with vines, and is perfect for a casual lunch or BBQ.

Cox Place is the vibrant heart of Moonee Valley Park, providing access to shopping, dining, work, and wellness. It is the ideal place to gather, linger, dine, work, and celebrate in this civic heart.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=105114 project_image_fid=210518]

Tote Park, the first publicly accessible space available to visitors and residents, is now open. It boasts spacious rolling lawns, serpentine gardens, and a nature playground for families.

Rumpus is a destination playground where children can run free and enjoy skipping, jumping, and rolling over. Parents can relax in the adjacent café or enjoy a picnic with produce from Cox Place while keeping an eye on their little ones.

The Stalls at Moonee Valley Racecourse, situated in the historic spot where racehorses gather on race days, will transform into an active place for the community to enjoy during the rest of the year.

The Arena, another public space in the masterplan, will change the face of Moonee Valley Racecourse. It will serve as a welcoming space for the community to gather and enjoy local festivals and family-friendly events throughout the year.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=105114 project_image_fid=210526]

The transformation of Moonee Valley Racecourse is set to be the biggest in the club’s history, with a brand-new world-class sporting and events grandstand that will serve members and the community for the next century.

The Moonee Valley Racecourse fields, reserved for racing for only 30 days per year, will be transformed on non-racing days into a unique area for residents, workers, club members, and visitors to enjoy a dynamic, healthy lifestyle.

The grand project has already sparked interest from buyers and investors alike, and with the launch of Trackside House, it's only set to grow. The Moonee Valley Racecourse redevelopment will undoubtedly change the face of Melbourne's property landscape and become a destination for years to come.

How Trackside House fits in to the wider Moonee Valley Park masterplan

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

Trackside House will also be serviced by a number of exclusive resident amenities including a rooftop pool, residents’ lounge, business lounge and state of the art Wellness Sanctuary – equipped with glass-walled yoga room, meditation space and sauna and fully equipped gym.

Hamton Property Group Executive Chairman Paul Hameister said Trackside House’s uninterrupted views of both the Moonee Valley Racecourse and the city set it apart, adding to the project’s botanical design, community amenities and 20ha of green open space and parklands.

“Residents at Trackside House will be able to soak up the fun atmosphere of Moonee Valley Racing Club’s race days, events and activities, in person or from the privacy of their balcony or the rooftop entertaining areas, while enjoying uninterrupted views of the city skyline," Hameister said.

“Trackside House is the first racetrack-fronting stage within Moonee Valley Park – we have a large database of buyers who have been waiting for a track-fronting apartment, so we are excited to be bringing these unique homes to market.

“We are once again, offering purchasers of our Penthouse apartments the opportunity to collaborate with Rothelowman and Carr to design a customised home tailored personally to their needs and believe this will resonate strongly with the local owner occupier market."

Rothelowan Principal Chris Hayton says the opportunity for purchasers to customise their future home is reflective of the Moonee Valley Park design ethos, which brings together unique residences and premium amenities that complement its natural surrounds, location and landscape.

“We are thrilled at the prospect of being able to work with future residents of Trackside House to tune the building and apartments to perfectly match their lifestyles," Hayton says.

"The underlying design philosophy for the building has always been to deliver a living experience of enviable generosity by leveraging its truly unique setting. Collaborating with residents of the building further amplifies the opportunities to provide one-of-a-kind residences."

The $2 billion redevelopment of Moonee Valley Racecourse will transform the 40 hectare site into a botanic-inspired residential landmark, and the new premium neighbourhood of Melbourne’s inner north.

Once complete, Moonee Valley Park – which is designed to be a neighbourhood within a park – will encompass around 2,000 dwellings across eight village-style precincts, complete with resident amenities, retailers, cafes, restaurants, playgrounds, sporting fields, running and walking tracks, set among 20 hectares of abundant green open space.

Moonee Valley Park launched to the market in August 2019, and has since delivered its first completed stage – as well as amenities including Tote Park and TOTE Bar &amp; Dining – with the first residents moving into their new homes in 2022. Two further stages are under construction with completion in 2023.

Hamton reveal Trackside House at $2 billion Moonee Valley Racecourse redevelopment

Hamton’s Moonee Valley project, Stonepine House, is a sanctuary enveloped by greenery and enlivened by an amenity-rich offering, marking itself as one of Melbourne’s most exciting new urban precincts.

Created in collaboration with some of Australia’s best-in-class industry pioneers, the project prioritises nature, wellbeing and community, with a collection of 119 apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110367 project_image_fid=199208]

As the next evolution of the Moonee Valley Park precinct, Stonepine House introduces one, two, and three-bedroom residences, with the apartments enjoying a privileged position, surrounded by the area’s curated botanical landscapes.

Considered architecture by Rothelowman is elegant and restrained, with a base of open colonnades and brickwork connecting the building to the ground, while sharing identity with the location’s period homes and townhouses.

Residents will arrive in style, with a dedicated porte cochere, providing Stonepine House with an elegantly designed forecourt, echoing a luxury hotel arrival experience.

The apartment interiors at Stonepine House have been designed by Carr, one of Australia’s most awarded names in design.

Each residence captures the essence of the botanical environment, designed entirely with lifestyle in mind, with interior spaces aligning function with aesthetics.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110367 project_image_fid=199214]

With each arrival, life’s necessities are stored out of sight in the welcome zone, which acts as a place to charge your phone, and store your keys, bags, and shoes, upon arrival.

A selection of floorplans are offered for different lifestyle requirements across Stonepine House, with a choice between The House Residences and The Grand Residences.

The House Residences open to serene green views, with the Grand Residences across the upper levels enjoying outlooks across leafy canopies.

Textures of timber, stone and brushed metal are applied in refined ways, with the option to select appliances and material palettes in light contemporary tones, or classic dark hues, providing buyers the opportunity to curate a unique space.

Sunlight floods in through expansive windows and apertures, while the layouts allow an unobstructed flow of light to permeate and accentuate the inherent quality of the materials.

The kitchen is a sculptural focal point and an inviting area to entertain or gather in the apartments. Engineered stone wraps around the counter height bench in a waterfall design, with the splashback and adjacent benchtop providing the kitchen with an elegant sense of flow.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110367 project_image_fid=199217]

Walls of seamless joinery are understated to conceal the working elements of the space, with select apartments enjoying an additional walk-in pantry, with a suite of appliances, including a fully-integrated dishwasher, oven and cooktop standard.

The two and three-bedroom residences at Stonepine House enjoy additional bedrooms as versatile spaces that can be customised to the buyers needs, with the space offering flexibility for modern living requirements.

With the inclusion of a study in select apartments, these spaces provide flexibility and liveability for work or relaxation.

Bathrooms are an expression of tranquillity within The House Residences, with clean contemporary lines enlivened by organic surfaces, with the bathing space fitted with an overhead shower.

Each bedroom is open yet intimate, with a luxurious aesthetic achieved through scale and tactile appeal. Tonal grey carpets create a textural balance against the smooth, white surfaces, while green vistas lend a cocooning sense of sanctuary.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110367 project_image_fid=199225]

The Grand Residences’ architecture accommodates multiple aspects, with wrap-around terraces to some homes.

Residents will enjoy sweeping views, moments of dappled light and immersion in greenery whilst interacting with nature.

Across the living areas, rich, textural timbers are juxtaposed with metal accents.

Carr’s neutral palette, gallery-like walls and open shelving provides a high level of personalisation for residents to articulate their unique taste and style, while the oak timber floorboards bring depth and warmth.

Central and spacious, the kitchens in The Grand Residences are designed to enhance the flow of daily life, with an island bench the focal point of the space.

The robust design gains movement from natural stone patterns that run across its surface, married with the kitchen’s neutral palette of tonal joinery and brushed metal, which extends through to the butler’s pantry, in select homes.

A range of premium Miele appliances are also standard, while recessed lighting adds warm ambience, highlighting the rich textures of the space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110367 project_image_fid=199222]

Natural light and views are an essential element of each private retreat, with many bedrooms featuring direct access to leafy terraces.

A harmony of light and fresh air was a focus in the design, complemented by carpet underfoot or optional engineered floorboard upgrades.

Master-suites reveal walk-in robes that are treated as large dressing rooms, fitted with concealed storage compartments.

Bathrooms feature luxurious detailing, with lighting touches highlighting natural textures and sculptural qualities, reflective, textured surfaces inspired by nature, and stone-finish walls and floors for an organic aesthetic. Oversized showers are finished with gunmetal grey or classic chrome showerheads, continuing the minimalist approach

The final release of apartments are now selling in Stonepine House, with a mix of one, two and three-bedroom floorplans remaining.&nbsp;

Inside the Stonepine House residences

Feehan Row terraces, part of the $2 billion Moonee Valley Park masterplan, have been designed by Rothelowman, who were inspired by the green landscapes of the local area.

The homes and terraces sit on the west side of the redevelopment next to the masterplan&rsquo;s first release, the Thomas Street apartment building.

They&nbsp;include Tote Park Homes, a collection of six three-bedroom houses on the doorstep of the 5,000 sqm Tote Park.&nbsp;Prices start from $1,445,000.&nbsp;

The Kenna St Collection fronts a tree-lined street with gated front courtyards, with three-bedrooms from $1,395,000.&nbsp;

The Mews Collection, Glenara Walk Terraces, and McPherson Street Residences, have all sold out.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102580 project_image_fid=167427]

Feehan Row offers residents the whole green package, from parklands, bike paths, and walking trails to sporting fields, playgrounds and community spaces.&nbsp;

Each Rothelowman-designed home&nbsp;has a securely gated and individual entrance, with architecture inspired by historic Victorian terraces. Landscaped frontages and fringing greenery offer both privacy and seclusion.&nbsp;

The terraces have internal stair access throughout, but Hamton offers residents the choice to upgrade to a private lift for additional convenience.&nbsp;

Each kitchen is complete with contemporary finishes and storage space, while bedrooms and bathrooms are equipped with high-quality fittings and fixtures.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102580 project_image_fid=167437]

Other features include secure, underground car parking for terraces or private garages for houses. Some garage spaces include bike racks and additional adjacent storage spaces that could make for an ideal wine cellar.

The heritage-inspired homes and terraces&nbsp;are bordered by the new Tote Park, the leafy corridor of Glenara Walk, and Poplar Garden.

Chris Hayton, principal for Rothelowman said that Feehan Row will establish a contemporary version of the grand Australian terraces &nbsp;&ndash; &nbsp;many of which can be found throughout the leafy suburb of Moonee Ponds.

&quot;We believe that residents will love living at Feehan Row because in addition to the timeless design of these homes, they can access a rich environment of amenities and parkland.&rdquo;
