Bronte Group has received planning approval for Miru, a new 46-townhouse development in Denman Prospect.

Occupying a prominent 6,869 sqm ridgeline site across Holborow Avenue and Goedecke Street, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/miru-holborow-avenue-denman-prospect-act-2611">Miru</a> will comprise four architecturally unified buildings ranging between two and three storeys. The townhouses are arranged to maximise views of the Molonglo Valley to the east and Stromlo’s bushland to the west, offering residents a rare dual outlook.

There will be 30 two-bedroom and 16 three-bedroom townhouses, with seven different floorplan layouts.

“The townhouses are carefully arranged to harmonize with the landscape, grouped into four subtly distinct yet cohesive blocks,” the Development Outcomes Report prepared by Planit Strategic notes.

"Each block of townhouses is designed to maximise views… while ensuring access to natural cross-ventilation and daylight”.

A standout element of the design is the integration of landscaping and open space. All homes will have private courtyards, while residents and visitors will benefit from extensive communal landscaping and dedicated visitor parking. A key pedestrian corridor running east to west will link public open space and enhance site permeability.

&nbsp;

The site is zoned RZ5 and sits within the newly developed Denman Prospect estate. While currently vacant, the area forms part of a broader plan for high-quality residential infill in the Molonglo Valley. The project’s scale and low-rise format ensure a measured transition to the adjacent lower-density housing, with generous setbacks and minimal overshadowing.

&nbsp;

Miru will be the fifth development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/bronte-group">Bronte Group</a> in Denman Prospect in recent years. They completed&nbsp;Symmetry, 83 townhouses down the road in 2022, as well as Solai, and Aberconway Rise. They are currently selling Central Park, a mix of apartments and townhouses in the suburb around 15km west of the capital.

Bronte Group secures approval for Miru, Denman Prospect townhouse development

Burgeoning developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/freecity">Freecity</a>&nbsp;is the latest to take on the booming North Sydney apartment market, one of the most popular suburbs with off the plan buyers.

They are taking a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/153-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">51-storey tower on Walker Street</a> to the NSW Government's&nbsp;Housing Delivery Authority, filing a State Significant Development Application for 300 apartments above a 150-room hotel. It will replace two commercial office buildings.

According to the Scoping Report prepared by Urbis, the development will "support the ongoing evolution of North Sydney by delivering a high-quality, mixed-use tower in close proximity to major public infrastructure."

They also said it “responds to the competing urban demands” of housing, hospitality, and employment.

<img alt="153–157 Walker Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="53e44b04-851c-496e-b90c-e4d77aa8f000" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Waler-St-Elevated-View-600x600.jpg?VersionId=fSDYrb1wJR.RVZVWo3wRUaw9n265x1Ka" />

The vertical program places hotel uses on levels one to six, activated by a retail arcade and hotel entry, while the upper levels contain communal amenity and transition spaces. The residential component will be delivered across levels 8 to 47 and includes a mix of one to three-bedroom apartments. Shared facilities include a rooftop lounge, dining space, and landscaped terrace with panoramic views.&nbsp;

The design also accommodates a publicly accessible through-site link connecting Walker and Little Walker Streets.&nbsp;

<img alt="Freecity" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="26165ce9-e49d-4efb-9e9c-037392707d9f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Article%20Feature%20Image%20%28Grid%29_1.png?VersionId=lAet4uJy_uNw3nc2e6hBc6302r9Q1dUB" />

The built form continues to reflect the earlier design vision by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/architectus">Architectus</a>, with a distinctive two-volume massing: hotel podium stepping down to Little Walker Street, and the slender residential tower rising above. The architecture intends to balance North Sydney’s increasing urban density with solar access, view sharing, and a fine-grain public realm interface.

“The form has been sculpted to preserve sky view corridors and reduce visual bulk,” the Design Report by Architectus previously noted, highlighting view preservation and contextual integration.

Importantly, this latest iteration supersedes an earlier SSD pathway explored in late 2024 for a build-to-rent and hotel project. That alternative scheme has since been shelved following Freecity’s successful submission to the HDA’s new streamlined approval stream.

<img alt="153–157 Walker Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f70e4ee4-4599-411b-9fc1-802c4292819e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Littile-Walker_Elevated-800x600.jpg?VersionId=zhfw3NMg_jchSSWuUHJJg8.m.qhqZgYM" />

The site sits within the Victoria Cross Station State Significant Precinct and is expected to integrate with broader public domain upgrades around the Metro station, including new pedestrian links and plaza connections between Berry and Walker Streets.

&nbsp;

North Sydney has been one of the most indemand suburbs in Sydney, however it has struggled with supply. <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/aura-by-aqualand-north-sydney-168-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">AURA by Aqualand</a> was one of the only developments in market for several years, until the recent launches of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-walden-north-sydney-173-179-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">The Walden</a>, which sold over $100m of sales in three hours, and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-mclaren-north-sydney-45-mclaren-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">The McLaren</a> by CASA.

Freecity joins booming North Sydney apartment market with 51-storey tower proposal near Victoria Cross

Prolific Sydney developer Landmark Group is continuing to expand its growing development portfolio.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/landmark-group">Landmark Group</a>, which is progressing with a new Edgecliff project alongside current developments in Macquarie Park and Caringbah, is set to deliver rare new apartment supply in Lindfield, the affluent suburb on Sydney’s Upper North Shore. The projects form part of the NSW Government’s broader push to increase housing density around key transport hubs.

The developer currently has two proposals under assessment through the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority. Together, they comprise nearly 400 apartments, 220 across a large 6,672 sqm amalgamated site spanning Trafalgar Avenue and Valley Road, and a further 173 apartments just 300 metres away on Middle Harbour Road.

The Trafalgar Avenue project, dubbed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lindfield-house-5-7-middle-harbour-road-lindfield-nsw-2070">Lindfield House</a>, is located around 500 metres from Lindfield train station. It will feature 220 apartments across three buildings. Architecture firm DKO, which designed the scheme, said in its submission that the façade strategy is guided by design principles promoting refined architectural expression, contextual sensitivity, and a human-scaled urban response.

“Central to this approach is a layered and sculptural composition, where massing, materiality, and depth are strategically modulated to create a dynamic and visually legible built form. The architecture is defined by a clear hierarchical organisation: a robust, grounded podium provides a strong interface with the public realm, while lighter upper tiers recede into the skyline,” DKO said.

<img alt="Landmark" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d934b639-becc-4778-9756-979a2d6ef514" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-22%20at%2010.41.27%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Ss4AdKdVpjArekAiir2213cjcWrAgBJz" /> 
The open courtyard between the buildings

DKO also designed the Middle Harbour Road project, which is closer to the station. The nine-storey building is "structured to respect the surrounding context and provide a clear urban transition."

“The design aims to respond to both the low-scale residential development of the heritage overlay precinct and the highway development immediately to the south in the North Sydney CBD”.

The mix of units is intended to serve both general market demand and key worker housing, with affordable housing apartments integrated at the lower levels. The proposed building steps from six to nine storeys as it ascends from the rear to the street front, creating a layered form that mediates between the different scales of surrounding built form.

From suburban apartment blocks to skyline-defining towers, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a>’s journey over the past 26 years has been one of consistent expansion and scale. The last decade in particular has seen Deicorp become one of the most prolific developers in Greater Sydney. Now with a $3.5 billion pipeline and some of its boldest projects yet, the developer is taking on central Sydney, starting with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hyde-metropolitan-sydney-133-141-liverpool-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Hyde Metropolitan</a>.

Deicorp founder Fouad Deiri started the company in 1999 initially working out of a small office in Hurstville, with a 21-unit townhouse project in Albert Street Newtown. With a small but capable team, they utilised their extensive construction industry experience to grow the scale and complexity of jobs to now having a team of more than 200 with more than 4,000 units currently under construction.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21809 project_image_fid=351911]

One of their most significant developments, Hyde Metropolitan, will arguably become one of their greatest feats, reshaping the city skyline at the southern end of Hyde Park.

Deicorp is already nearly five years into the development process. It was 2021 when they secured the Polding Centre, a 1970s, 24-storey office building on the corner of Liverpool and Castlereagh Street, from the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney, following a six-month competitive process.

As per the City of Sydney regulations when developing within their council to the scale of such a building, the council undertook a competitive design process where architects put forward different designs and schemes for the site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21809 project_image_fid=215742]

They settled on the proposal by renowned architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/candalepas-associates">Angelo Candelapas</a>, which would bring to life their vision to create one of the best new developments within the CBD.

“I cannot imagine anything more beautiful than the delivery of a building which can demonstrate a deep affection for our sun,” Angelo Candelapas said of the design. “It is a building with dramatic foyers and an oasis garden for the residents. These two facilities link to provide a sense of wellness and nature in the centre of the city.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21809 project_image_fid=215741]

Fouad Deiri said he had long admired the innovation and design language of Candelapas.

“Deicorp has deliberately partnered with some of Sydney’s most recognised and capable architects in the past and we understand the value of working with truly talented designers,” Deiri said.

There are just under 170 apartments on offer at Hyde Metropolitan, a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences, many with never-to-be-built-out views over Hyde Park and towards the Harbour.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21809 project_image_fid=215728]

Upon arrival, residents will be greeted by an eight-level-high private lobby with arched cathedral fenestrations, serving as a podium to the 55-level tower. The ground level will also host a high-end restaurant and cocktail lounge, very much in keeping with its vibrant streetscape.

The resident amenity will sit on top of the podium and will feature a 25-metre pool, landscaped courtyards and gardens, a barbecue area, gym with a sauna, and a music room. Sales are being handled by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/srm-residential">SRM Residential</a>. SRM Director Dave Milton said Hyde Metropolitan will be "one of the preeminent Sydney residential developments on the southern end of Hyde Park."

Hyde Metropolitan is one of nine developments either under construction, in planning, or in market for Deicorp.

Their next project to launch, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/falcon-alexander-8-alexander-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Falcon &amp; Alexander</a> in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/crows-nest-nsw-2065">Crows Nest</a>, will be their first development on Sydney’s Lower North Shore. True to tradition, Deicorp has already commenced construction on Falcon &amp; Alexander, prominently positioned at The Five Ways junction, placing it a five-minute walk from the new Metro station and in close proximity to Crows Nest Village. The one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments will start from just under $1.3 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135323 project_image_fid=351946]

Deicorp will roll into 2026 with several more projects to launch to the market for the first time.

They have already cleared their massive 2.87-hectare site Zetland that borders Gunyama Park, where they will transform a former industrial site into <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-avenues-zetland-130-joynton-avenue-zetland-nsw-2017">The Avenues</a>, 624 apartments across nine buildings, curated ground-floor retail, purpose-built student housing, and build-to-rent dwellings delivered in partnership with Scape. It is one of the largest developments to be launched in Sydney’s inner south in recent years.

One of their most anticipated projects is the $1.8 billion Five Dock masterplan <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> (below), to be delivered in a joint venture with non-bank lender Metrics.

Kings Bay Village will comprise 1,185 new homes, including 218 affordable dwellings for essential workers, along with 6,500 sqm of public open space and 14,700 sqm of vibrant retail and commercial offerings.

Add to that more releases at their <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/showground-pavilions-castle-hill-3-andalusian-way-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Castle Hill Showgrounds</a> precinct, and their under construction projects in Rhodes and Parramatta, Deicorp is in the midst of adding a much-needed 3,000 new apartments to some of Sydney’s most sought-after postcodes.

Deicorp dives into luxury as Sydney apartment development pipeline grows

A prominent corner in Wynnum’s central precinct could be reshaped under new plans from <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/toore-developments">Torre Development</a>, with a development application now with council for a sculptural eight-storey apartment building combining residential, office, and recreation uses.

Situated at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/63-bay-terrace-wynnum-qld-4178">63 Bay Terrace</a>, the 2,014 sqm site lies at the intersection with Charlotte Street, within the Wynnum-Manly Neighbourhood Plan’s Wynnum central business district sub-precinct. The proposal seeks to deliver 78 apartments above ground-floor non-residential tenancies, with architecture by Plus Studio.

The proposed building will be a mix of 58 two-bedroom and 20 three-bedroom apartments spread across seven residential levels, crowned by a 914 sqm communal rooftop terrace featuring a pool, gym, sauna, and private dining areas.

Ground level activation is a key aspect of the design, with 771 sqm of office and indoor sport and recreation space proposed to reinforce the area’s major centre designation. The site will also deliver improved pedestrian amenity via a recessed entry plaza on Bay Terrace and a landscaped public realm along Charlotte Street.

<img alt="63 Bay Terrace, Wynnum" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4e5ef890-2f8f-4bbd-9ff1-57fa4e4360d2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Wynnum%20podium.png?VersionId=7_if97F1KAYrTX2BQrNspFInEHwXcQRd" />

In their design report, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-studio">Plus Studio</a> described the form as “sculpted into a rhythmic wave, amplifying facade dynamism while merging interior life seamlessly with the city’s texture to evoke a fluid, immersive urban living experience”.

Vehicle access will be via Bay Terrace, with four basement levels accommodating 197 car spaces, including 177 for residents. Bicycle storage is also provided for 193 bikes.

The building’s architectural character is marked by curved balconies, horizontal banding at podium level, and lush greenery integrated throughout.

“Traditional developments in Wynnum typically feature above-ground car parking, a tiered 'wedding-cake' building form, no podium-level landscaping, and no rooftop amenities,” Mewing Planning noted in the DA, positioning this proposal as a departure from the norm.

The new development is Torre's second in the area, having recently completed Catalina, a more boutique building with 28 apartments.

There are only two new developments currently on the market in Wynnum: Panorama on Bay Terrace and Adena Residences on Sorrento Street, the latter of which is nearing completion.

Mosaic Property Group

The prominent South East Queensland developer, Mosaic Property, are readying their second Broadbeach project, following strong early success from their first in the busy Gold Coast suburb.

They've lodged plans for a 26-level, 98-apartment tower at 4 Rosewood Avenue, a site secured following strong demand from their nearby Surf Parade tower, Marella.

Mosaic Property Founder and Managing Director, Brook Monahan, says securing another site nearby Marella&nbsp;was a no brainer.

"This pocket of Broadbeach is incredibly popular and highly desired, being quiet and right opposite Nikiforides Park and offering protected view corridors&nbsp;to the beach as well as up and down the coast," Monahan says.<a href="/new-apartments/lily-by-mosaic-4-rosewood-avenue-broadbeach"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="1088" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-08-02_at_8.11.57_pm.png" width="1732" /></a>

"As indicated by the sheer volume of interest generated in Marella to date, the appetite for premium Mosaic product in this location is potent.

"Much like we secured Dawn's site in Mermaid Beach following Bela by Mosaic's sell-out, this second site metres away on Rosewood Avenue will provide further opportunity to meet this demand.

"At the same time, it will deliver much-needed housing diversity to help battle the genuine under-supply crisis in the region."

<a href="/new-apartments/lily-by-mosaic-4-rosewood-avenue-broadbeach"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="1088" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-08-02_at_8.11.49_pm.png" width="1732" /></a>

Mosaic again had Plus Architecture create the tower to compliment Marella, In their design statement, Plus said the two towers are&nbsp;designed to be in partnership, boasting slight difference in tone and form whilst sharing similar characteristics.

"They will harmoniously co-exist, complimenting one another to enhance the Broadbeach skyline," Plus note.

Again the tower will provide a good mix of density, with more affordable product than Broadbeach has possibly seen over the last few years. Around two thirds of the tower will be two-bedroom apartments, ranging from 100 sqm to 120 sqm.

<a href="/new-apartments/lily-by-mosaic-4-rosewood-avenue-broadbeach"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="944" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-08-02_at_8.37.39_pm.png" width="1506" /></a>

There will be 28 three-bed apartments, which span 165 of internal space, and six sub penthouses.

Resident amenity is located on the ground level and will feature a&nbsp;pool, wellness centre with steam and sauna, and barbecue areas with outdoor dining and lounge areas. Monahan says the&nbsp;scale, aesthetic, and extensive range of hotel-like amenity is on par with Marella.

The project isn't expected to launch until early 2023.

GV Property Group sold both of the sites to Mosaic.

First look exclusive: Mosaic set for second Broadbeach apartment tower after success around the corner

The continually busy South East Queensland apartment developer, Mosaic Property, has lodged&nbsp;plans for a new Broadbeach apartment tower, for what will be one of seven apartment developments launched to the market by the prominent developer in 2022.

They&#39;ve had Plus Architecture design the 29-level tower at 146 Surf Parade, which will home 96 apartments. Mosaic, led by Brook Monahan, secured the prime site late last year, buying&nbsp;each of the original apartment&nbsp;blocks at the neighbouring 146 and 148 Surf Parade.

Mosaic already have plans with the Gold Coast City Council for <a href="/news/qld/mosaic-set-for-new-bilinga-beachfront-apartment-development-bianca-by-mosaic">a boutique Bilinga project</a> of 14 apartments at 1 Surf Street, and a <a href="/news/qld/exclusive-mosaic-property-group-set-for-new-coolangatta-apartment-development">30-apartment development at 7 Douglas Street in Coolangatta</a>.

The new Broadbeach tower&nbsp;will be similar&nbsp;in density to Mosaic&#39;s red hot Mermaid Beach towers,&nbsp;Dawn and Bela, which sold out in record time last year.

Plus note that the Broadbeach building is inspired by the natural dynamism and beauty of the seashell.

<a href="/buildings/marella-146-surf-parade-broadbeach"><img alt="" height="910" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-20_at_10.48.56_am.png" width="1446" /></a>

&quot;The architecture references geometry which is layered, overlapping and expanding,&quot; Plus wrote in their submission.

&quot;The buildings envelope is wrapped in a climate responsive shell which shifts from solid and protective to the West, blocking unwanted sun, to glazed and open to the East, inviting in the morning Sun and taking full advantage of the spectacular views towards the golden Broadbeach coastline.

&quot;Bold horizontal lines further define and break down the form giving a nod to the coastal architectural language prevalent at the Gold Coast.&quot;

<a href="/buildings/marella-146-surf-parade-broadbeach"><img alt="" height="900" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-20_at_10.48.30_am.png" width="1442" /></a>

The tower will look over&nbsp;Nikiforides Family Park towards the ocean to the East.

There will be 59 two-bedroom apartments on offer, 21 of those with an additional multi-purpose room. The three-bedroom apartments, of which there will be 37, start from level 12.

The majority of the resident facilities are located one level one, where there will be a swimming pool with day beds and a spa, sauna and steam room, as well as a gym, two outdoor barbecues, and extensive dining and lounge options. The facilities have been oriented towards Surf Parade to capture views out over the park and toward the ocean.

There will be further recreation on level 11 in the shape of a 200 sqm communal space with balconies to capture wider views.

First look: Mosaic Property Group set for Broadbeach apartment tower

The ever-busy South East Queensland apartment developer, Mosaic Property Group, has pivoted away from a hotel apartment development at its recently acquired Milton, Brisbane site.

Mosaic, led by Brook Monahan, secured 33 Railway Terrace, Milton, a near 1,600 sqm site not far from the Brisbane River, late last year.

The sale came with plans for a mixed-use hotel and apartment tower, however Mosaic, who are always keenly developing for the owner-occupier, has taken a change of direction, amending the plans to create 113 two and three-bedroom apartments across the 20 levels.

<a href="/new-apartments/the-manning-by-mosaic-33-railway-terrace-milton-qld-4064"><img alt="" height="531" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-31_at_9.13.56_am.png" width="965" /></a>

They had BDA Architecture amend the design, which will include Mosaic&#39;s signature luxury rooftop amenity level, as well as ground floor retail.

&quot;Intending to appeal directly to owner-occupiers, we have removed the previous plans for 73 hotel/accommodation suites and 500 sqm of office space, making it primarily a residential building,&quot; Mosaic&#39;s website read.

&quot;This move allows us to lower the number of basement levels from four to one, which will reduce the impact of excavation and piling construction works on the local community.

&quot;A strong focus on quality, sustainability, and amenity aligns with our award-winning reputation while at the same time respecting local context and Milton&#39;s distinct character.

&quot;Quality ground floor retail will deliver much-needed activation and rejuvenation, creating the opportunity to cultivate a sense of community within the building and the wider local area.&quot;

33 Railway Terrace, which will be dubbed The Manning by Mosaic,&nbsp;will pursue&nbsp;UDIA EnviroDevelopment certification, implementing a range of initiatives, from design to construction and ongoing maintenance.

Mosaic recently lodged plans for am 81-apartment tower&nbsp;in East Brisbane, which will be one of seven apartment projects they intend to launch across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast, in 2022.

Mosaic&#39;s track record in Brisbane&#39;s inner-west is enviable.&nbsp;Last year alone they sold out both of their&nbsp;Toowong projects,&nbsp;The Patterson&nbsp;and&nbsp;Kensington.

Mosaic, led by Brook Monahan, secured 33 Railway Terrace, Milton, a near 1,600 sqm site not far from the Brisbane River, late last year

Mosaic amend mixed-use hotel and apartment design for Milton tower to focus on owner-occupiers

The renowned South East Queensland apartment developer, Mosaic Property, has lodged plans for its latest Brisbane apartment project.

They&#39;ll be developing in East Brisbane, where they&#39;ve previously had quick-fire&nbsp;sell-out success with The Sinclair, which is to be completed later this year.

The latest project, at 89 Lytton Road, occupies a prime position across the street from&nbsp;Mowbray Park and the Brisbane River. The blue chip 2,563 sqm corner&nbsp;site, currently home to the East Brisbane Shopping Centre, also has street frontages to Northcote Street and Heidelberg Street. Mosaic secured the site mid-last year.

Mosaic had DKO Architiecture put together the creative plans, which saw them incorporate&nbsp;the Moreton Bay Fig trees at Mowbray Park in to their design.

<img alt="" height="700" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-29_at_9.21.08_am.png" width="730" />

&quot;The main design driver was to reconcile the need to provide shelter and respite from the inner city urban environment, and at the same time, open up to the fantastic views on offer, almost 270 degrees around the site,&quot; DKO noted in their submission to the Brisbane City Council.

&quot;We drew lessons from two major landmarks close to the site &ndash; the leafy sheltered spaces in Mowbray Park created by the Moreton Bay Fig trees as well as the bricks and verandas from Hanworth House.&quot;

The fig tree response saw DKO create a unique design. The columns throughout the tower take on the form of branches, with the structure transferring through the raking sculptured columns at ground then into the basement grid below.

&quot;Metaphorically and literally [the building is] expressing the form of fig trees,&quot; DKO note.

<img alt="" height="522" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-29_at_9.22.24_am.png" width="958" />

There will be 81 apartments across the eight-level building. Mosaic has always positioned itself as a developer for the owner-occupier. They&#39;re offering three different configuration types,&nbsp;33 two-bed apartments, 22 two-bedroom plus multi-purpose room, and 26 three-bedrooms plus multi-purpose rooms.

Residents will have access to the private wellness and gym space on the ground level, located beside two retail tenancies.

There&#39;s further private amenity on the rooftop, which will feature a luxury, resort-style pool, day beds, barbecue&nbsp;and dining areas, and extensive landscaping by Wild Studio.

The partially covered rooftop will offer panoramic views of the CBD skyline, Brisbane River, and Mt Cootha.&nbsp;

<img alt="" height="354" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-29_at_9.21.44_am.png" width="436" />

Speaking to Urban earlier this year, Mosaic Property boss Brook Monahan said there is huge potential in the Brisbane apartment market, particularly in the owner-occupier space.

&quot;There&#39;s just not enough high quality built form for owner occupiers wanting bigger units, and world class amenity, in the five kilometre ring around Brisbane,&quot; Monahan said, suggesting there&#39;s been a chronic undersupply for that type of buyer&nbsp;since around 2018.

Mosaic is set to launch seven projects to the market this year, spread across Brisbane and the Gold Coast. They have their sights set on Broadbeach, Coolangatta and Bilinga on the GC.

Mosaic lodge East Brisbane apartment plans, with unique Moreton Bay Fig tree design influence

All the talk has been about how the Gold Coast has dominated the South East Queensland apartment market since COVID triggered an exodus from the southern states.

And the fanfare around the coastal areas, with the majority of the country working from home for the last few years, has seen Queensland&#39;s capital fly quietly under the radar.

Mosaic Property Group Founder and Managing Director Brook Monahan believes&nbsp;the inner ring surrounds of Brisbane has the most potential of any market in the state, and is looking to invest even further across its development pipeline after building a solid reputation over the last 17 years across south east Queensland.

&quot;There&#39;s just not enough high quality built form for owner occupiers wanting bigger units, and world class amenity, in the five kilometre ring around Brisbane,&quot; Monahan said, suggesting there&#39;s been a chronic undersupply for that type of buyer&nbsp;since around 2018.

&quot;That issue is getting worse, not better, with the amount of people still moving to Brisbane,&quot; Monahan added.

<img alt="" height="684" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-01-31_at_4.06.43_pm.png" width="1028" /> 
The Witton in Indooroopilly, which Mosaic sold out last year

Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed&nbsp;Queensland gained around 7000 people from net interstate migration over the March 2021 quarter alone.

&quot;With the amount of infrastructure being delivered across the city, not to mention international travel getting back to normal at some point this year and the pipeline of development in preparation for the 2032 Summer Olympics, there is just nowhere near enough housing stock.&quot;

The low stock is a pain point for the owner-occupier demographic, but not for investors, who Monahan says aren&#39;t quite back in full force just yet.

While Mosaic tend to cater for local owner occupiers&nbsp;in their developments, some investors who bought apartments to lease in Brisbane,&nbsp;have seen rental yields go through the roof.

&quot;If it&#39;s difficult to buy a larger apartment due to low supply, then the only option is to rent, and those who invested are benefitting from the tight supply and huge migration numbers,&quot; Monahan said.

Mosaic will be launching five projects in Brisbane across 2022,&nbsp;nine all up across South East Queensland. They&#39;ll be venturing into the Kangaroo Point and East Brisbane apartment markets&nbsp;after much success there in recent years, including the&nbsp;The Sinclair,&nbsp;which is fully sold out and due for completion mid this year.

One of their major focuses for the last eight years has been in Brisbane&#39;s inner west suburbs, which Monahan identified as a high growth area back in 2014. Last year they sold out&nbsp;The Witton in Indooroopilly, The Patterson in Toowong, and Kensington in Toowong, with all sales going&nbsp;to database buyers before hitting the open market.

The first to launch this year will also be in Toowong, which will be Mosaic&#39;s 11th project in the space of six years in the inner-west.

<img alt="" height="745" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/lissner_mosaic.jpg" width="1200" /> 
The soon-to-be-launched Toowong project.

The development, designed by DKO directly behind Toowong Shopping Centre, will offer a mix of large two and three-bedroom units and luxury penthouses.

The facade is inspired by the detailing and repetition of the traditional Queenslander. The veiled podium references the nearby Regatta Hotel on the Brisbane River.

There are four&nbsp;different zones on the rooftop. There&#39;s a&nbsp;wet zone,&nbsp;including&nbsp;pool and&nbsp;wet deck,&nbsp;with views to the city and river; a dining zone,&nbsp;including&nbsp;outdoor BBQ area and shelter&nbsp;overlooking the city&nbsp;and river; a wellness zone, which is a combination of a yoga lawn and gardens; and the multiuse zone to the south west which can be utilised for co-working during office hours or a communal kitchen and dining area after hours and on the weekends.

Mosaic Property Group boss Brook Monahan believes the inner ring of Brisbane has the most potential of any market in the state.



Why the Brisbane apartment market has the most potential in Queensland: Five minutes with Mosaic's Brook Monahan

Mosaic Property Group are continuing to set their stall out for a solid 2022.

The burgeoning South East Queensland apartment developer, who is looking to launch seven new projects across Brisbane,&nbsp;the Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast this year, are readying a boutique project in the sought-after Kirra Beach locale in Coolangatta.

Their second time developing in Coolangatta after having success with Elan,&nbsp;Mosaic has lodged plans with the Gold Coast City Council for a nine-level building at 7 Douglas Street, just off Musgrave Street and less than 200&nbsp;metres from the popular beach and surf spot.

<a href="/new-apartments/luca-7-douglas-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">To be the first to be notified when the project hits sales, enquire here.</a>

There will be 31 two and three-bedroom apartments across the tower, which architecture firm Gatehouse Architects designed to connect the occupants to the local environment.

&quot;It is an understanding and reflection of the curving natural landscape of the Kirra Beach and Coolangatta Creek,&quot; Gatehouse noted in their design statement submitted to the local council.

<a href="/new-apartments/luca-7-douglas-street-coolangatta-qld-4225"><img alt="" height="984" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-01-28_at_12.36.09_pm.png" width="1450" /></a>

They designed the building to capture the northerly aspect towards the coast line.

&quot;Occupants are able to embrace the inside / outside relation synonymous with a modern Queensland lifestyle.&quot;

Balconies and living spaces have been positioned to capture ocean views while maintaining privacy between dwellings and neighbour properties.

<a href="/new-apartments/luca-7-douglas-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">To be the first to be notified when the project hits sales, enquire here.</a>

Native landscaping has been included throughout the building, invoking a connection to the ground floor.&nbsp;

The resident communal area is located on the first level&nbsp;and includes a resort-style pool with day beds, a seating and dining area next to an outdoor kitchen, and a sauna.

<a href="/new-apartments/luca-7-douglas-street-coolangatta-qld-4225"><img alt="" height="746" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-01-28_at_12.36.19_pm.png" width="1544" /></a>

The town planner, DTS, said that high quality architectural form built on the principles of sub-tropical design and carefully selected materials and façade treatments reflective of the Gold Coast vernacular.

Mosaic had a stellar 2021,&nbsp;selling out Dawn at Mermaid Beach, LOrient at Sunshine Beach, The Witton at Indooroopilly and The Kensington at Toowong.

Late last year Mosaic, led by its founder Brook Monahan, lodged plan for a luxury <a href="/news/qld/mosaic-set-for-new-bilinga-beachfront-apartment-development-bianca-by-mosaic">seven level&nbsp;beachfront apartment development in Bilinga</a>, with unrivalled views and direct beach access.

With only two apartments per floor, private entry lobbies and direct physical access to the ocean front, Mosaic are making the most of the unencumbered site edges.

Exclusive: Mosaic Property Group set for new Coolangatta apartment development

The South East Queensland apartment developer, Mosaic Property Group, has lodged plans for its next Gold Coast project.

Mosaic, led by Brook Monahan, are set to create a&nbsp;luxury seven level&nbsp;beachfront apartment development at 1 Surf Street, with unrivalled views and direct beach access.

With only two apartments per floor, private entry lobbies and direct physical access to the ocean front, Mosaic are making the most of the unencumbered site edges.

Every apartment in Bianca by Mosaic covers more than 160 sqm internally, each stepping out to its own private balcony spanning at least 25 sqm.

It&#39;s been proposed the three-bedroom apartments will be laid out across seven levels, with the entry level through the lobbies and into the units curated by SJB Architects to feel like a home, rather than a flat in an apartment block.

The Surf Str​eet design features a communal open space with a 30 sqm swimming pool and&nbsp;barbecue area, with every unit also being granted dedicated bicycle parking and storage.

<a href="/buildings/bianca-by-mosaic-1-surf-street-bilinga-qld-4225"><img alt="" height="733" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/mosaic_2_0.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

SJB noted in their design statement submitted to the Gold Coast City Council that the design draws on the&nbsp;opportunity to bring the residents closer to the edge, close to big windows, light and ventilation.

&quot;The design intends to diffuse the threshold between the interiors and exterior and connect the residents to the ocean, expansive views, the fresh breeze, and that great feeling of living in a beach house,&quot; the design statement read.

&quot;The building transitions to light coastal construction with big windows, cantilevering balconies, metal balustrades, timber ceilings &amp; delicate tiling. With the stone walls, seemingly floating floors, powder coated aluminium screens and landscaping we have sculpted a building that ensures visual and acoustic privacy while maintaining views of the beach and ocean.&quot;

They said that the&nbsp;quaint beachside suburb on the southern end of the Gold Coast is populated with a mix of mid-century beach cabins and mid-rise multi residential buildings.

Mosaic, who develop apartments across Brisbane and the Gold Coast, had a stellar 2021, selling out Dawn at Mermaid Beach, LOrient at Sunshine Beach, The Witton at Indooroopilly and The Kensington at Toowong.

In 2022, Mosaic will be launching two developments in Burleigh Heads&nbsp;with Augusta, a collection of 34 apartments and&nbsp;Florence, a nine-apartment development also in Burleigh Heads.

Gainsborough Greens, which also&nbsp;took home the Environmental Excellence award, is a masterplanned community&nbsp;in the Gold Coast&#39;s Pimpama area.

&quot;The project is a benchmark example of environmental rehabilitation, creating an outstanding backdrop for a master planned community,&quot; the judges noted.

Gainsborough Greens has created a new habitat for koalas and an array of native fauna and birdlife species within 170 hectares of conservation area.

Aria Property Group, whose focus is sustainable developments in Brisbane, won five awards on the night, spread across their residential and commercial efforts in the Fish Lane Town Square precinct.

The Standard by Aria, their flagship development with 260 apartments, Tesla vehicles for residents, and 2,000 sqm of resident amenity, won the awards for Construction Excellence, Design Excellence, and the best High Density Development.

The Fish Lane Town Square took out the awards for Urban Renewal and Retail and Commercial Excellence.

Aria recently launched their latest sustainable project, Trellis, in South Bris​bane, which will no doubt more than hold its own at the awards following its completion in mid-2023.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108278 project_image_fid=173599]

Mosaic Property Group, the&nbsp;popular Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast developer, won two awards for two of its Sunshine Coast developments.

Drift by Mosaic, Coolum Beach&rsquo;s first new apartment development in 13 years, won the&nbsp;Medium Density Development award. Mosaic engaged extensively with the local community to deliver a responsive design, taking advantage of the sloping 4,161 sqm site.

Queensland's biggest apartment developers take out UDIA QLD awards

The South East Queensland developer&nbsp;<a href="/developers/mosaic-property-group">Mosaic&nbsp;Property Group</a> are set for their next development on the Gold Coast.

It's going to be their most boutique offering yet, with just nine whole floor apartments planned for the Burleigh Heads dress circle The Esplanade.

It will be located just up the road from their successful 47 apartment development Grace by Mosaic, which sold out in just a few months late last year.

The new apartments at 42 The Esplanade, dubbed Augusta by Mosaic, will be designed by the architecture firm bureau^proberts and will replace the current brick apartment block built over five decades ago.

Mosaic Property boss Brook Monahan says the development will set a new benchmark of luxury living for an upmarket boutique building in Burleigh Heads.

"This is a genuinely world-class, one-of-a-kind&nbsp;address," Monahan told Urban.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="789" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/mosaic_main_1.jpg" width="1200" /> 
Source: Excerpt from Architectural Plans prepared by bureau^proberts.

"We are pleased to have the opportunity to create another outstanding address in Burleigh Heads, following the success of our first&nbsp;Burleigh project, Grace by&nbsp;Mosaic, which sold out in a matter of months.

"Our primary goal with 42 The Esplanade is to make it the most desirable, exclusive, and in-demand place to live on the entire beachfront in Burleigh.&nbsp;

Monahan says the the design draws on the areas’ natural beauty.

"The composition boasts honest materiality and elegant form," Monahan says.&nbsp;It is singular in its execution while remaining authentic within the local context."

In the design statement, bureau^proberts say the architectural design has a strong focus on subtropical building form,&nbsp;with a lightweight and breathable façade, lush green landscaping that continues from the ground level up and around the building,&nbsp;and an organic floor plate that pays homage to the undulating Burleigh headland.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="528" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/mosaic_front.png" width="1088" /> 
Source: Excerpt from Architectural Plans prepared by bureau^proberts.

Mosaic are already fielding enquiry from their VIP, pre-launch access list.

The Heads will feature a&nbsp;ground level pool, dining and lounge area. The apartments start on the ground level, the first&nbsp;complete with a large 130 sqm terrace with outdoor kitchen and landscaping.

Each apartment above will have balconies over 35 sqm.

Mosaic double-down in areas where they've seen great success. They had the same idea in the exclusive Mermaid Beach area, further north on the Gold Coast

After seeing success at Bela, Mosaic bought a site a few doors down on Peerless Avenue and created Dawn, which secured 95 per cent of its sales within its first two weeks of its pre-release to their database.

Development overview:

9 storey built form;&nbsp;

• 9 x 3-bedroom dwelling units;&nbsp;

• Two (2) levels of basement car parking with 29 resident spaces and 3 visitor spaces;&nbsp;

• Ample on-site landscaping and deep planting areas sufficient to contain large shade trees and balance the built form elements;&nbsp;

• Generous communal open space on the ground level and large private balconies for each apartment oriented to the beach;&nbsp;

• Pedestrian access directly off The Esplanade frontage; • Vehicle access to First Avenue via the adjoining development site, 4 First Avenue;&nbsp;

• Highly articulated building envelope with large boundary setbacks and separation to maintain residential amenity and privacy;&nbsp;

• Subtropical architectural design focused on enhancing the character of Burleigh Heads

Design statement

The site at 42 The Esplanade gives new opportunity to acknowledge Burleigh's beachfront appeal. The tower’s form is sensitive to its site and neighbourhood by responding to the existing Norfolk Pine trees, key aspect views and privacy requirements from its neighbours. The 9, single floor, vertically stacked coastal homes achieve stunning beachfront and headland views by opening the living areas out to the east, with the master bedroom placed prominently to give the residents an unrivalled northern aspect. The glazed envelope is protected down each side with horizontal batten screens which rhythmically move in and out as they rise up the building.&nbsp;

The slab edges move and fold around the building, reaching out to connect its inhabitants with the Esplanades’ parkland, then cutting in to open up views and angle breezes through the interior spaces. The movement of the floor plate is an homage to the undulating outcrops of the nearby headland.&nbsp;

Landscape is employed at the ground level to interact with the street and give space to the existing Norfolk Pine which has been previous been constrained on all edges. This allowance of space is replicated up the building with the southeast corners being cut back to give the tree its breathing space. Vegetation is continued up and around the building, creeping through the screens and with time, will drape and soften the building edges and contribute to the visual and micro-climatic coolth around the tower. As response to the beachfront climate, large outdoor living areas reduce the reliance on indoor conditioning. Breezes are mapped such that openings across and through the plan allow for effective cross ventilation of the interior

Mosaic Property boss Brook Monahan says the development will set a new benchmark of luxury living for an upmarket boutique building


Mosaic Property Group lodge next Gold Coast apartment development after double Mermaid Beach sell-out

Fresh off the back of two UDIA QLD Awards, the South East Queenslander developer Mosaic has secured yet another sell-out, before the project even hit the open market.

Their second Maroochydore&nbsp;development, LOrient, part of Mosaic&#39;s&nbsp;Masterpeice Series developments,&nbsp;lasted just a few weeks before selling, with prices starting from $2.75 million.

LOrient, named after the French port famous for its maritime history,&nbsp;netted the Sunshine Coast&#39;s most expensive apartment sale, with a 571 sqm apartment selling for $7.5 million.

It bettered the existing $6 million record,&nbsp;set at Avalon by Mosaic a few doors down. Avalon by Mosaic&nbsp;just won&nbsp;the&nbsp;High Density &ndash; 10 storeys or less award at UDIA QLD awards.

&quot;We are humbled by how receptive the market has been to our developments, which has resulted in our projects selling out in record time,&quot; Mosaic Property boss Brook Monahan told Urban.

<img alt="" height="521" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/lorient.jpg" width="1200" />

&quot;We are working hard to bring launches forward to meet the robust ongoing demand for Mosaic product&nbsp;in highly sort after locations.&quot;

Mosaic had to drop the number of apartments in the eight-level building from 21 to 15, due to the interest in making the apartments even bigger than what was offered.

The boutique development, set on the Maroochy River at 90&nbsp;Duporth Avenue, had been set for 21 three-bedroom apartments. Now there will be just 12 three-bedders, two four-bedroom apartments, and one massive five-bedroom apartment.

<img alt="" height="800" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/lorient_mosaic.jpg" width="1200" />

Level one will home the&nbsp;resident amenity, which includes a 60 sqm gym, a lap pool with spa, lounges, and a cabana.

Construction is now expected early next year, well ahead of schedule, due to the speed of the sales.

LOrient is the first apartment project on the Sunshine Coast designed by&nbsp;bureau^proberts.

&quot;The site at 90 Duporth Avenue connects an established avenue of apartments to the water&rsquo;s edge of the Maroochy River,&quot; the design statement by&nbsp;bureau^proberts read.

&quot;The architecture responds with sensitivity to its site, both natural and man-made, with apartments rising to eight&nbsp;storeys to contribute a scale that is consistent with its neighbourhood.&quot;

<img alt="" height="600" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/lorient_mosaic_kitchen.jpg" width="1200" />

There will be continued interest in the area from Mosaic heading in to 2022.

&quot;We remain very passionate about the Sunshine Coast which is undergoing such a dynamic evolution,&quot; Monahan said.

&quot;We are proud to have created a benchmark offerings, including Drift, Avalon, and now Lorient, amongst others, and look forward to continuing to lead the way for high-quality multi-residential development in the region.&quot;

Mosaic recently took out two awards at the UDIA QLD awards, both for its previous Sunshine Coast developments.

Drift by Mosaic, Coolum Beach&rsquo;s first new apartment development in 13 years, won the&nbsp;Medium Density Development award. Mosaic engaged extensively with the local community to deliver a responsive design, taking advantage of the sloping 4,161 sqm site.

The $104 million, Avalon by Mosaic apartment project, built on a historic pocket of land on the Maroochy River, won the&nbsp;High Density &ndash; 10 storeys or less award.
