Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

A collection of just 25 large-format apartments and penthouses overlooking Goodwin Park is entering the Coolangatta market, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marea-residences-coolangatta-27-27a-dixon-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Maréa Residences</a> combining a low-density, residential-only approach with uninterrupted park and Pacific Ocean outlooks.

Located at 27 Dixon Street, Maréa comprises three and four-bedroom residences alongside a limited number of dual-level penthouses, with the project positioned between Goodwin Park and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>’s coastal precinct.

Construction has commenced, with completion currently estimated for late 2027. Three-bedroom residences are priced from $1.8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374005]

The project has been designed around its northern outlook across the park, with the building’s architecture, landscaping and material palette intended to establish a connection with the neighbouring green space. The residences have been configured to maximise natural light and views across Goodwin Park towards the ocean.

Inside, the material palette incorporates timber, stone and brushed brass, complemented by curved detailing and ambient lighting. Kitchens and bathrooms carry the same natural material approach, while residences also include basement parking, storage and lift access.

Maréa’s penthouses are arranged over two levels and include private pools, adding another layer to the project’s focus on larger-format apartment living. Across the development, residences are configured with three or four bedrooms rather than the broader mix of smaller apartment types commonly found in larger projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374010]

Resident amenity is concentrated at rooftop level, where landscaped entertaining terraces and pools take advantage of elevated views across Coolangatta and the Pacific Ocean.

The project has so far been particularly well received by local owner-occupiers and downsizers, according to Urban Activation Property Sales and Marketing Director Matt George, with the residential-only format, construction quality and northern park outlook among the features resonating with purchasers.

“The uninterrupted northern aspect overlooking Goodwin Park has been a key point of difference, with buyers attracted to the sense of serenity and open space the park provides, while still enjoying easy access to the ocean and being within walking distance of the lifestyle and amenities Coolangatta has to offer,” George said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374002]

“The combination of high-quality construction, a residential-only building, park outlook and proximity to the beach has resonated strongly with the local downsizer market.”

The Dixon Street address is within walking distance of Coolangatta Beach and the broader southern Gold Coast coastline, including the surf breaks at Snapper Rocks and Kirra. Coolangatta’s cafés, restaurants and retail are nearby, while Gold Coast Airport is also within close proximity.

Maréa Residences brings parkside apartments to Coolangatta

Melbourne developer PDG has secured Victorian Government approval for its $1.5 billion Southbank development <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-1-queens-bridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The One</a>, clearing the way for the long-dormant riverfront site opposite Crown to finally be developed.

The Minister for Planning has approved the project at 1-29 Queens Bridge Street, with the Department of Transport and Planning issuing the planning permit following its assessment.

The approval will allow PDG to develop the prominent 5,059 sqm site with a major mixed-use tower comprising premium apartments, including branded residences, a luxury hotel and boutique office space.

PDG acquired the site in late 2024, with its position directly opposite Crown's main entrance and near Melbourne's Arts Precinct making it one of Southbank's most significant remaining development opportunities.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3933013e-6332-4386-b9be-089df05caf17" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sITIgBqDL0N3VNSMwWEmF5UA.uvcsRyu" />

Designed by COX in collaboration with ODO and PDG, the tower's architecture draws on the movement of the Yarra River, with six vertical pleats running the height of the sculpted facade.

The project will also see the heritage-listed Queens Bridge Hotel restored and incorporated into the development&nbsp;with new hospitality and public uses, including a rooftop venue.

A significant component of The One will be its residential amenity.

More than 5,000 sqm of resident facilities will be delivered across a single level, making it one of the largest consolidated residential amenity offerings proposed in an Australian apartment development.

The planning approval also incorporates a major upgrade of Queensbridge Square, which PDG will deliver in partnership with the City of Melbourne.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="73167fcd-1031-4b6f-a408-a064cfe45ed1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.17%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Pf1AEWxw6SNmBqR0zQW5lyEze.MtxgFp" />

The existing square will be revitalised as a new civic and pedestrian space along the Yarra River, strengthening the connection between the project, Southbank and the riverfront.

PDG Founder and Managing Director Vince Giuliano said the approval represented a major milestone for a site which has remained largely underutilised for more than 15 years.

“This is the most significant Planning Permit approval Melbourne has seen in recent years,” Giuliano said.

“For more than 15 years, this site has remained underutilised. This approval enables us to deliver a project that will contribute meaningfully to the revitalisation of Southbank, restore and reactivate an important heritage building, and create a new civic and hospitality destination for Melbourne.”

The latest approval follows an earlier planning permit issued by the City of Melbourne covering demolition works across part of the site at 9-29 Queens Bridge Street. Those demolition and early works are already underway.

PDG has also started generating early interest in the residential component from owner-occupiers ahead of a planned public launch in early 2027.

PDG secures approval for $1.5bn Southbank apartment development, The One

Local developer Harridan is seeking to turn its Woolloongabba apartment project into the first stage of a broader transformation of Burke Street, using a new 16-storey mixed-use building to establish a greener pedestrian connection toward the rapidly evolving Boggo Road transport and knowledge precinct.

The South East Queensland developer has filed plans for 154 apartments on the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/4-burke-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">southern side of Burke Street</a>, where its proposal has been designed alongside a wider vision by LatStudios for the street.

That vision positions the southern side of Burke Street for buildings of 15 storeys and above, while envisaging lower-rise development of up to five storeys on the northern side to transition into Woolloongabba's existing character housing. It also proposes wider pedestrian verges, deep planting, new street trees and upgrades to the pedestrian approach to Boggo Road Station.

The Harridan development itself has been designed by Brisbane-based Arqus Design and will comprise 154 apartments across 16 storeys. The mix is weighted heavily toward two-bedroom apartments, with 121 proposed alongside 10 one-bedroom and 23 three-bedroom residences. There will typically be around 14 units per floor.

A lower-ground car park and three podium levels will accommodate 156 resident parking spaces, along with visitor and commercial parking. There will also be 154 resident bicycle spaces and 40 visitor bicycle parks.

&nbsp;

Harridan is a family-owned developer and part of the Holmwood Highgate Group, with more than three decades of development activity across South East Queensland. Its portfolio spans residential, commercial and industrial property, with current residential projects including Riverbank on Byron in Bulimba, Esperance Residences in Carina and The Precinct at Kinross Road in Thornlands.

Wooloongabba has been popular for apartment developers, particularly since the announcement of the 2032 Summer Olympics games in Brisbane.

While there have been a lot of development applications, it has failed to materialize into real supply.&nbsp;

Sarazin has been the major player in the area. They are under construction at Murcia Residences, on the fringe of East Brisbane and Woolloongabba. They have just launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-stanley-residences-woolloongabba-8-trafalgar-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">The Stanley Residences</a>, in Woolloongabba on Trafalagar Street. They also have Nuage coming soon on the nearby <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba-qld-4102">Wellington Road</a>.

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;

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;

The established inner suburb is currently experiencing a boom in popularity, with its leafy streetscapes, landscaped parks and striking mix of architecture providing residents with the best of city life, whilst still maintaining an urban charm.&nbsp;

The suburb is a public transport hub and offers easy connectivity, while the expansive parklands and the Maribyrnong River offer an abundance of recreational opportunities including rowing and cycling.&nbsp;

The main urban village of Puckle St, will provide residents with everything from fresh produce and artisan bakeries to boutique fashions and designer wares, with the well-established and well-frequented strip close to the Mason Sq precinct.&nbsp;

Moonee Ponds is close to some of Melbourne’s finest primary and secondary schools and the nearby 59 tram runs directly to Melbourne University. Moonee Ponds offers sophisticated living on the edge of the city making it one of Melbourne’s most desirable addresses.

Trackside House will feature 205 residences including some high-end apartment stock, which come with a twist. The project will include three and four-bedroom penthouse product on each level, as opposed to stacking all of the penthouses on the top level. The clever design will accomodate those who want the larger apartment while also being closer to the track.

Joint venture partners, developer Hamton and superannuation fund Hostplus, who are working in partnership with Moonee Valley Racing Club, had renowned architecture firm Rothelowman collaborate with interiors house Carr on the designs.

Prices at Trackside House will start from $470,000 for the one-bedroom apartments, and range in price through the two, three and four-bedroom offerings to over $5 million.

The unobstructed views across the racecourse, which extend across Ascot Vale and Brunswick to the Melbourne city skyline, will offer residents unparalleled vision of iconic race days like the Cox Plate alongside the future infield of the track – which will be transformed into a lush, green landscape of walking tracks, parklands and integrated community amenities.

Trackside House will be the fourth stage released within Moonee Valley Park. Its designs by Rothelowman maintains&nbsp;the precinct’s strong connection to nature and biophilic design, fostering a unique urban sanctuary surrounded by greenery – just only six kilometres.

Inspired by the composure and calm of a refined hotel, the Trackside House lobby will welcome residents with a tree-lined landscape that leads to a private drop off area and concierge – complete with a number of services that can be booked via smartphone on the Residents’ App.

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;
