Apartment buildings are increasingly being designed around how people actually live day to day, not just how they want a building to look.

For buyers, that shift is showing up in practical inclusions that respond to changing habits. Work-from-home spaces, EV charging, wellness amenities, secure bike storage and parcel management are becoming part of the broader apartment conversation, reflecting a move toward buildings that reduce friction in everyday life.

Online shopping has become one of the clearest examples of that change.

Australians spent a record $82.6 billion online in 2025, with nearly one in four retail dollars now spent online. That has made parcel delivery a regular part of apartment living, rather than an occasional inconvenience.

For apartment residents, however, the delivery process can be less straightforward than it is for detached homes. Parcels may be left in lobbies, redirected to Post Offices, missed entirely, or placed under the responsibility of building managers and concierge teams.

That is why secure parcel infrastructure is increasingly being considered alongside more familiar apartment amenities.

Australia Post Parcel Lockers offer one way to address the issue. When a parcel arrives, residents receive a notification through the AusPost app or SMS, then collect it using a QR code or one-time PIN. The parcel is kept secure, accessible and removed from common areas.

The broader Parcel Locker network now includes more than 1,500 locations across Australia, positioned at Post Offices, shopping centres, supermarkets, transport hubs and other accessible locations.

For new apartment projects, the relevance is clear. A building’s amenity offering is no longer only about lifestyle spaces, but also about convenience, security and functionality.

As buyer expectations evolve, secure parcel delivery is becoming part of the same design conversation as flexible working, sustainable transport and resident wellbeing.

It is one less thing for residents to worry about, and another example of apartment design adapting to the way Australians now live.

Apartment design is adapting to the way Australians shop

While school holidays and trips to Europe tend to define the winter property market, there's been no cold snap at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-walden-north-sydney-177-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">The Walden</a> in North Sydney.

Developer-builder&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/aland">ALAND</a> sold more than $35 million worth of apartments throughout June, including a $6.8 million apartment that now ranks among the highest apartment sales ever recorded in North Sydney.

SRM Residential agent Ben Stewart said buyer demand throughout June reflected a mix of improving market confidence and longer-term thinking from owner-occupiers.

"We're seeing strong demand from owner-occupiers who are taking a longer-term view," Stewart said.

"Many recognise the opportunity to secure an apartment in an iconic building and premium location while values remain attractive. They may initially lease the property, but the intention is to eventually move in themselves, rather than purchasing purely as an investment."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134323 project_image_fid=367129]

Located at 177 Walker Street, The Walden will deliver 161 one, two, three and four-bedroom residences across a 30-storey tower designed by Rothelowman. Every apartment occupies a corner position, maximising natural light, cross ventilation and views across Sydney Harbour, the Opera House, Sydney Heads and the northern districts.

Rather than a traditional balcony, the residences feature winter gardens that seamlessly extend the open plan living areas, creating versatile spaces for relaxing or entertaining throughout the year. Floor-to-ceiling glazing draws in natural light while showcasing sweeping views from the building's elevated Walker Street position.

Every apartment features high-end Calacatta marble, bespoke joinery, and fully integrated appliances.

The larger residences have been planned with distinct entertaining and private zones, with many master suites positioned on corners to capture natural light and harbour views. Walk-in dressing rooms, freestanding baths and refined stone finishes reinforce the house-like feel that has resonated with downsizers and owner-occupiers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134323 project_image_fid=6393]

Rothelowman Principal Ben Pomroy said the project was designed to make the most of its unique position overlooking the harbour.

"The Walden is a celebration of all things beautiful, curated for those who expect nothing less than exceptional," Pomroy says.

"Meticulously designed entertaining spaces and light-filled living areas that capitalise on capturing the natural beauty of Sydney's iconic harbour."

Residents will also have exclusive access to The Pavilion, a dedicated amenity building featuring a rooftop pool, wellness studio, gymnasium, sauna, concierge service, residents' lounge, private dining spaces and work-from-home facilities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134323 project_image_fid=6402]

The project marks ALAND's first major luxury apartment development in Sydney's inner-city market after more than two decades delivering residential communities across Greater Sydney.

Founder and CEO Andrew Hrsto previously said the rarity of the Walker Street site made it an opportunity the company could not overlook.

"This is a rare opportunity to bring a truly exceptional project to life in one of Sydney's most iconic locations, and to showcase our craftsmanship and design expertise at a world-class level," Hrsto said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134323 project_image_fid=6383]

The Walden has been introduced to the market at a time when demand for living in North Sydney is at an all-time high. Billions of dollars have been invested in infrastructure, including the recently opened Victoria Cross Metro station, located just 300 metres from The Walden, providing residents with direct access to the Sydney CBD in just minutes.

Private investment has also transformed the area through the arrival of new retail and dining destinations, elevating the lifestyle offering in what was once considered primarily a commercial precinct rather than an aspirational residential address.

The Walden is currently under construction and is scheduled for completion in 2028.

ALAND records $35 million in sales in North Sydney as The Walden bucks quiet winter selling season

The long-awaited redevelopment of the former Eastlakes Shopping Centre site has reached a major milestone, with Conquest's plans for a new mixed-use precinct officially placed on public exhibition.

The State Significant Development Application would transform the 1.7-hectare site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/19a-evans-avenue-eastlakes-nsw-2018">19A Evans Avenue</a> into one of Sydney's largest urban renewal projects, delivering 736 apartments above a new shopping centre anchored by Woolworths, alongside specialty retail, dining, commercial space and new public open spaces.

The public exhibition marks the next chapter for the project after <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/conquest">Conquest</a> acquired the stalled Stage Two development from Crown Group, who completed the first stage across the road prior to their voluntary liquidation.

<img alt="First look: Conquest unveils plans for 736-home Eastlakes Shopping Centre redevelopment" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5fca22c5-d1ed-4e2c-8801-03f7df1eafc8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/eastland%20podium.png?VersionId=uomwr41nF8CmLUZRDcu3mHQechlbxucS" />

&nbsp;

Designed by DKO Architecture, the proposal comprises four residential buildings ranging from 14 to 18 storeys above a two-level retail podium. The development would deliver 736 apartments, including 74 affordable homes, 215 Build-to-Rent apartments and 521 market residences. Provision has also been made for dual-key apartments, which could increase the total number of dwellings to 877.

At ground level, the shopping centre has been designed as the suburb's new meeting place, anchored by a full-line Woolworths and complemented by a curated mix of fresh food retailers, cafés, restaurants, health services and everyday convenience shopping. Generous pedestrian links and landscaped public spaces will connect the retail precinct through to Jack Mundey Reserve, creating a more walkable and connected neighbourhood.

Conquest CEO Michael Akkawi said the redevelopment was about far more than replacing a shopping centre.

"Eastlakes has been overlooked for too long, and this is the community’s moment. We are building a shopping centre and homes, a genuine heart for the suburb, and we genuinely want locals to help shape it."

"We enrich communities through the creation of homes, places, and experiences designed for life, built to last, and owner for generations. That starts with listening, so we warmly encourage everyone with a connection to Eastlakes to view the plans and share their thoughts."

<img alt="First look: Conquest unveils plans for 736-home Eastlakes Shopping Centre redevelopment" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="22f6fb20-54fb-4bd7-8a92-48fafdd00608" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/eastland.png?VersionId=cugp7s9hrMHGJJdYzkeAkrFoQgnF4GXf" />

DKO said the design had been shaped by the site's landscape setting and surrounding open space.

"Our vision for the site embraces its unique Bidjigal identity by blending the residential living with generous landscaping and a material palette inspired by the Bidjigal locality, and celebrating the panoramic views to Botany Bay and the wetlands reserves."

"Taking cues from Country, we seek to harmonise built form with the landscape and lightly touch the earth. By reconnecting, retaining and regenerating existing ecology, and weaving in natural elements, we can deepen our connection to Country."

The landscape strategy extends across the podium and rooftops, incorporating communal gardens, children's play areas, lawns, community gardens, family gathering spaces and extensive tree planting. New landscaped links will also strengthen the connection between the precinct and Jack Mundey Reserve, while publicly accessible open spaces have been integrated throughout the development.

The proposal builds on Conquest's broader placemaking strategy for the site. Through an ongoing partnership, local artist Joe Rashbrook has been appointed Urban Art Curator, working alongside young residents to transform the project's site hoardings into a public art gallery that allows the community to engage with the redevelopment before construction is complete.

Conquest has rapidly expanded its development pipeline since acquiring the Eastlakes site, with more than $6 billion worth of mixed-use projects now in planning across Sydney, including Stanmore, Castlecrag and Waterloo.

Conquest CEO Michael Akkawi said the redevelopment was about far more than replacing a shopping centre.

Abadeen has lodged a State Significant Development Application (SSDA) for one of Mosman's largest apartment developments in recent years, seeking approval to transform the former Honeysuckle Garden and Midas site on Military Road into a 100-apartment mixed-use development.

The SSDA, lodged with investment partner Phoenix Property Investors, proposes around $230 million worth of new housing on the prominent <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/494-516-military-road-mosman-nsw-2088">494-516 Military Road</a> site.

The proposal comes as Mosman Council continues to progress its recently endorsed Masterplan, which identifies the precinct for increased housing density while maintaining the suburb's established character.

Designed by DKO Architecture, the development would comprise 100 apartments above ground-floor retail, with a rooftop wellness precinct including a gym, sauna, entertaining areas and landscaped communal spaces.

Rather than pushing to the full 12-storey height identified in Council's Masterplan, the proposal ranges between five and nine storeys, stepping down towards Hale Road. A tenth level would accommodate resident amenities rather than additional apartments.

The project has been designed to appeal to a broad range of buyers, from first home buyers and young professionals through to families and local downsizers looking to remain on the Lower North Shore.

<img alt="Mosman" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5dada03f-5b4c-43ba-ba62-2868add31440" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-27%20at%209.57.55%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7LBy0B.Jo8_iWAFJsClcV7Q3UnXrv49r" />

Abadeen Executive Chairman Justin Brown said the apartments had been designed as genuine long-term homes rather than investor-focused stock.

"The apartments have been designed as genuine long-term homes, with efficient floorplans that maximise usable living areas, generous storage, natural light and strong connections between indoor and outdoor spaces," Brown says."

"We've focused on creating homes for a broad range of buyers, from first home buyers and growing families through to downsizers who want to remain in Mosman."

The rooftop wellness offering forms a key part of the proposal, with residents set to have access to a gym, sauna, outdoor entertaining spaces, communal dining areas, landscaped gardens and a multi-use recreation court overlooking Sydney Harbour.

<img alt="Mosman" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d37c2d6b-583a-4a0f-b7a9-9f46b893d2f4" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-27%20at%209.58.06%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=FPoa5FCm2RtzjhAh2w5FTWJbV6GHfY8D" />

DKO drew heavily on the site's natural and cultural history, undertaking a Connecting with Country process with local Aboriginal Elders to inform the architectural and landscape design.

Senior Associate Matthew Ritchard said the design sought to create a building that responded to both the site's landscape and its cultural significance.

"The architectural language of the project is a deep expression of Connecting with Country, where the materiality and colour palette serve as a bridge between the site's geological history and its future as a residential sanctuary."

The proposal also retains the site's established blue gum tree as the centrepiece of the communal landscaped gardens, while introducing activated retail fronting Military Road to strengthen the connection between Mosman and Cremorne villages.

If approved, the project would deliver 100 new homes within walking distance of shops, public transport, schools and local amenities, adding to the limited pipeline of new apartments on the Lower North Shore.

The wave of apartment proposals sweeping through Mosman shows no signs of slowing, with another major residential development lodged through the NSW Government's State Significant Development pathway.

Developer First Quadrant Properties, which recently completed Willoughby Grounds and has several projects in planning across the North Shore, has unveiled plans for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/cove-on-ourimbah-40-56-ourimbah-road-mosman-nsw-2088">Cove on Ourimbah</a>, a 63-apartment development on Ourimbah Road, adding to the growing pipeline of projects reshaping one of Sydney's most tightly held harbour suburbs.

The proposal would consolidate nine properties at 40-56 Ourimbah Road into a part eight, part nine-storey apartment building, continuing the momentum created by the NSW Government's accelerated planning pathways that have seen several significant developments emerge across Mosman over the past 12 months.

Designed by Doroch Architects, the project would deliver 63 apartments, resident wellness facilities including a gym, pool and sauna, landscaped communal spaces and basement parking, while using recessed upper levels, generous setbacks and extensive planting to reduce the perceived scale of the building.

<img alt="First look: First Quadrant Properties eyes nine-storey Mosman apartment project under State Significant pathway" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="32ee68e4-141e-4a10-8f83-48e961a5e71e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Ourimbah%20Road%2C%20Mosman%20a.png?VersionId=CUeILFc6APlwXPc.iplElbxHvREKwjig" />

Doroch Architects said the building had been designed to reinforce Mosman's established character.

"The building's aesthetic is grounded in the existing residential character of Ourimbah Road and the broader Mosman context," the architect noted in the planning documents submitted to the NSW Government.

The design adopts a contemporary material palette of natural stone, textured concrete and brown concave metal cladding, complemented by integrated planters and deep balconies. The podium incorporates softened curved concrete forms, while increased setbacks have been provided adjacent to the heritage-listed property at 60 Ourimbah Road to create a more sympathetic transition.

The site sits around 330 metres from Mosman Town Centre, placing it within the NSW Government's Low and Mid-Rise Housing policy area, where increased residential density is being encouraged close to shops, transport and services.

The proposal follows a string of major apartment projects lodged or declared State Significant in Mosman in recent months, including Abadeen's 100-apartment Honeysuckle Garden redevelopment on Military Road and several other developments across Awaba Street, Redan Street and Muston Street from the likes of Time &amp; Place, HELM and Prosker Property.

Mosaic Property Group

The South East Queensland&nbsp;developer Mosaic Property is having its busiest period on record.

Fresh off securing a near sell-out of their Mermaid Beach development Dawn in&nbsp;around two weeks, the developer, led by its founder and managing director Brook Monahan, are set to launch yet another project.

Kensington by Mosaic, designed in partnership with Cottee Parker, will be&nbsp;the eighth&nbsp;project the company have developed in Brisbane&#39;s inner west, with more to come, according to Monahan.

&quot;We have invested significantly in this particular area over many years and will continue to do so because there is a genuine, sustained appetite for the incredible, effortless lifestyle on offer,&quot; Monahan says.

<img alt="" height="1734" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/kensington_mosaic_1.jpg" width="1600" />

&quot;Everything you could possibly want is in such close reach, including some of the most significant infrastructure projects of our generation, such as Brisbane Live, the Victoria Park redevelopment, Queensland Wharf, and Toowong&#39;s new $450m mixed-use town centre, The Aviary.&quot;&nbsp;

Kensington by Mosaic is not farm&nbsp;from Mosaic&#39;s sold out The Patterson. The 62 apartments, predominantly&nbsp;secured local&nbsp;owner-occupiers, took just four weeks for 90 per cent of the $72 million building to sell last October.

Located&nbsp;across from the heritage-listed Toowong Memorial Park, Kensington by Mosaic will home 63 two and three bedroom apartments and one penthouse over nine levels. There will be a communal rooftop entertainment area with an infinity-edge pool, sun deck, barbecue and dining areas.&nbsp;

<img alt="" height="800" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/kensington_pool.jpg" width="1600" />

The architecture reflects a&nbsp;subtropical theme with over 170 sqm of extensive deep planting and landscaping.&nbsp;

Much like The Patterson, owner-occupiers are expected to be the dominant buyer profile.

Prices start from $610,000 for a 97 sqm two bedroom, two bathroom apartment and 128 sqm for a three bedroom, two bathroom and two car apartment.

The Penthouse&nbsp;

<img alt="" height="889" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/kensington_mosaic_3.jpg" width="1600" />

A 230 sqm penthouse&nbsp;boasts an&nbsp;expansive outdoor terrace with northern&nbsp;city, river, hinterland, and parkland views.&nbsp;

Mosaic has&nbsp;approximately&nbsp;$300m in projects currently under construction in Brisbane&nbsp;and another $370m in projects under construction across the Gold and Sunshine Coasts.

The Henry in Indooroopilly is due for completion mid this year, and The Sinclair in East Brisbane and The Patterson in Toowong are due to be finished in 2022. All three Brisbane developments are sold out.

Kensington by Mosaic, designed in partnership with Cottee Parker, will be the eighth project the company have developed in Brisbane's inner west

The South East Queensland development firm Mosaic Property Group have sold 95 per cent of their luxury Mermaid Beach project Dawn after just two weeks of a pre-release to their database.

Dawn, a collection of 87&nbsp;two and three bedroom residences designed in partnership with Plus Architecture and Lat27 Studios, is located on&nbsp;Peerless Avenue. just one row back from Mermaid Beach&#39;s dress circle Hedges Avenue, considered the millionaire&#39;s row of the area.

<img alt="" height="1173" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/dawn_mosaic_main.jpg" width="1600" />

Dawn sits just a few doors down from another one of Mosaic&#39;s success stories, its $128 million sister development Bela by Mosaic, which has also sold out.

Sales started from $750,000 for the two bedroom, two bathroom apartments which are now all sold out, to the three bedroom, two bathroom apartments which saw prices start from $1.42 million.

There are only a handful of three bedroom apartment remaining, priced from $1.8 million.

Residents at Dawn have access to a resort-style swimming with in-water lounges,&nbsp;barbecue and dining areas, sun deck with day beds, outdoor shower,&nbsp;spa, and a gym with a sauna and steam room.

<img alt="" height="800" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/dawn_mosaic_pool.jpg" width="1200" />

There&#39;s also the Resident&#39;s Sky Lounge on level nine, complete with&nbsp;a private dining room with kitchen, wine cellar and tasting room, a lounge area and a generous outdoor terrace complete with a teppanyaki bar.

Construction on the development has been fast-tracked due to the flurry of sales, with building work to commence in late May.

Mosaic founder and managing director, Brook Monahan, said while they expected a positive response based on existing demand for ultra-premium, particularly Mosaic, product in Mermaid Beach, the strength and velocity of Dawn&#39;s record-breaking sales performance has far exceeded all expectations.

&quot;We are incredibly humbled by how the market, particularly local owner-occupiers, quickly recognised the rare opportunity on offer at Dawn by Mosaic.&quot;

&quot;There was such extraordinary anticipation for this release, from the moment the market realised we had secured a second site in Mermaid Beach, metres from Bela.&quot;

&quot;We haven&#39;t even had to advertise Dawn, given we had a significant waitlist from our VIP database, along with multiple repeat buyers and a high proportion of referral purchasers. Several Bela buyers have also invested knowing already how scarce an opportunity it is to buy premium product in one of the best locations on the east coast of Australia.&quot; &nbsp;

The full-floor apartment spanning over 350 sqm of internal space and over 120 sqm of outdoor areas features its own home office, separate living and retreat areas as well as a sprawling 105 sqm master suite.

Floor to ceiling windows span the width of the apartment which takes in the uninterrupted ocean and coastline views.

Dawn is Mosaic Property Group&#39;s fourth luxury Gold Coast release within two years. Following Bela, Elan by Mosaic in Kirra was released in late 2019, selling out within three months. Mosaic&#39;s last release, Grace by Mosaic in Burleigh Heads, was released in late October 2020 and is now over 95% sold.&nbsp;

&quot;Having four best-selling Gold Coast developments within the short space of two years is an achievement the entire Mosaic team, and I are hugely proud of, and we have more exciting plans for the region in 2021 and beyond.&quot;&nbsp;

Oversized floor plans include expansive, cantilevered balconies, some of the largest on the Gold Coast, that account for at least 20% of total living space.&nbsp;

Opulent finishes, bespoke detailing, and expert craftsmanship have been applied throughout to create living spaces that not only look but feel beautiful.&nbsp;

There's a lot happening in Brisbane at the moment, so here's a round-up of the latest construction milestones in the city. 

Tour of The Eminence

Recently, Build Brisbane had the pleasure of touring Pellegrino Group Australia and <a href="/developers/mosaic-property-group">Mosaic Property Group</a>’s stunning new $40m joint venture commercial development ‘<a href="https://www.mosaicproperty.com.au/design/the-eminence/">The Eminence</a>’ in Fortitude Valley thanks to Paul Pellegrino.

Located on McLachlan Street, the six-storey, A-grade building features a gorgeous design from <a href="/architects/oneill-architecture">O'Neill Architecture</a> which embraces Brisbane’s climate by maximising natural light and including leafy balconies and a huge rooftop breakout space.

The addition of the rooftop deck is an excellent, though, ill-included aspect of most commercial developments which hopefully, we see more of in the future. The lush space features meeting rooms and ample space for the tenants to eat lunch, make a call or take in the city views over some well-earned Friday arvo drinks.

The Eminence’s lobby is also a sight in and of itself to behold, featuring magnificent curves, elegant Italian tiles, and a ground floor café. The six-storey development certainly has plenty on offer for its tenants and is a fantastic addition to the Valley.

The building is almost fully leased with only one floor remaining.

In late July, <a href="/developers/mosaic-property-group">Mosaic Property Group announced</a> the construction of their two-tower project ‘<a href="/buildings/the-sinclair-by-mosaic-150-toohey-street-east-brisbane">The Sinclair</a>’ in East Brisbane which will begin next month. The eight-storey towers designed by <a href="/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> will be joined by a sky bridge and a total of 122 apartments, with an ever-so-important rooftop recreation area capping off the development and making the most of the gorgeous city views.

The site on Wellington Road has sat vacant for some time with Brisbane-based Blue Sky Alternative Investments previously owning the site, which also featured a similar development application.

With The Sinclair reportedly over 75% sold, Mosaic are confident in the <a href="/industry-news/demand-for-brisbane-property-soaring">Brisbane market</a> and have bumped the construction timeline as a result.

Now, this is something different! <a href="https://www.cpltd.com.au/">Cornerstone Properties </a>have lodged massive plans for a 19-floor commercial office tower designed by bureau^proberts at 251 Wickham Street in Fortitude Valley.

The proposed building would top out at roughly 115 metres tall and features full floor glazing with a striking exoskeleton and stepped profile, somewhat reminiscent of Sydney’s <a href="/news/part-approval-for-macquarie-banks-unsolicited-proposal-in-martin-place-irks-city-of-sydney">Deutsche Bank Place</a>. Each office floor features a south-facing balcony looking back towards the city, capped off by a roof terrace.

The<a href="/news/5-of-australias-top-apartment-gardens"> landscape plans</a> come from the team at Lat27, though the building certainly isn’t as lush and green as some of the proposals we’ve seen in recent months. The ground plane does include new greenery (which would be a great addition to this section of the Valley), with an engaging first floor featuring a gym space, infinity-edge pool and end of trip facilities.

If constructed, the building would be the Valley’s tallest building unless Cornerstone gets its previously approved 301 Wickham Street commercial tower underway.

Brisbane's latest construction milestones: Featuring Pellegrino, Mosaic + Cornerstone Properties

<html><body>
Queensland Prime Investments has been given the green light to proceed with a high-end apartment development overlooking the Brisbane River.

Last week Brisbane City Council chose to endorse the luxury apartment development located across 80-86 Oxlade Drive, New Farm. bureau^proberts handled the design of the project's 39 dwellings which are spread over two buildings.

A water mall and sculptural centrepiece define the ground level space, with a rooftop pool and terrace also included. The Oxdale Drive project is expected to cater for the well heeled; the project's penthouse will <a href="https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/property/baby-steps-for-developer-seymours-grandkids/news-story/3d78cbcc191ed10d13f92d0b004312f9">reportedly</a> sell between $6-8 million with full floor apartments below priced from $3 million plus.

80-86 Oxlade Drive is Queensland Prime Investments' maiden development, having reached planning during 2017.

<figcaption>bureau^proberts have created 80-86 Oxlade Drive</figcaption></figure>Elsewhere in greater Brisbane, Plus Architecture has been busy designing an 8 storey apartment complex in Springfield Central. Last month proponent Springfield City Group took an application to Ipswich City Council looking to add another 74 dwellings to the existing Parkside residential development.

Springfield City Group is the appointed master developer of Greater Springfield, nominated as one of the nation’s fastest urban growth corridors. It is billed as the only fully master planned city to be built in Australia other than Canberra.

7004 Barry Alexander Drive is subject to the application, with Stage One already realising 66 dwellings.

The apartment mix for the pending addition sees 6 single, 49 dual and 13 triple-bedroom apartments in addition to 6 townhouses. Ground floor retail has been included within the scheme.

<figcaption>Plus Architecture's new Springfield Central design</figcaption></figure>Also late last month Mosaic Property Group moved a add to inner-city Windsor's emerging density, moving 24-28 Gallway Street to planning.

Proficient in low and mid-rise apartment projects, the developer hopes approval will be granted for the seven storey project set above two basement levels. The intended apartment mix consists of 41 dual bedroom and 15 triple bedroom apartments.

Mosaic Property Group's Gallway Street site is flanked either side by a quartet of existing five storey medium density apartment projects. The application would become the largest in the immediate vicinity.
