Perth’s new apartment market recorded its strongest quarter of sales since Q4 2021, with 412 apartments sold in Q1 2026 and a record quarterly sold value of $537 million, according to Urbis’ latest Apartment Essentials results.

Urbis said the March quarter result reflects strong, highly product‑specific demand across both ends of the market, from more attainable projects delivering at scale, through to premium stock being absorbed by equity‑rich downsizers.&nbsp;

David Cresp, Partner at Urbis, said the key story in Perth is not demand, it is the market’s ability to convert demand into delivered housing.&nbsp;

“This is the strongest sales quarter since Q4 2021, and it reinforces that demand in Perth is real and it’s local,” David Cresp said. “But the task now is delivery, turning that demand into projects that can actually be built and completed.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=302785]

<h2>Affordable product leads, premium demand remains resilient</h2>

Sales in Q1 were led by more affordable projects, with The Boulevard (SKS Group) recording 115 sales in the quarter, the presentation noting this is only the second time a single project has surpassed 100 quarterly sales. The project was able to offer more affordable housing product right next to a train station.&nbsp;

Palmyra West (Finbar) also delivered strong results with 28 sales in Q1, following 84 sales in Q4, with an average price of under $800,000, underscoring depth of demand for well‑located, attainable new stock.&nbsp;

At the premium end, Urbis said downsizer demand is continuing, with the results highlighting Romeo (Applecross, Finbar) recording 75 sales and reaching almost 50% sold in one quarter.

Jual (Shenton Park, Celsius Property) also posted a strong quarter with 28 sales, reaching 39% sold in one quarter.

Urbis noted that Perth apartment demand is not speculative, not investor‑led, and not uniform, describing it as localised, often equity‑driven and highly product‑specific, a pattern reflected in the polarisation between strong “attainable” performers and premium downsizer product.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148957 project_image_fid=364102]

<h2>Prices underpinned by costs, and the delivery risk is growing</h2>

Urbis said pricing pressure is cost not demand‑driven: construction costs and delivery risk are now a central constraint, with the results noting build costs remain elevated and volatile, and that energy, fuel and labour uncertainty weigh on feasibility.

David Cresp said a growing challenge for private Build‑to‑Sell developers is simply securing a builder in the current environment.

“Developers are really feeling the pressure from a building market that was operating at capacity and securing a builder is challenging,” David Cresp said, adding that even where a builder can be secured, “trying to get to the price that makes the development financially viable is incredibly challenging in the current market.”&nbsp;

Urbis’ broader WA commentary also notes that industry remains at or above capacity with lot and housing creation, and that many builders are limiting new sales to manage stretched workforces and fixed‑price contract pressures, conditions that flow directly into apartment feasibility and delivery timing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108869 project_image_fid=317905]

<h2>Supply: improving later, but still constrained, and Perth lags eastern benchmarks</h2>

While near‑term supply remains constrained, Urbis’ forecast shows completions lifting “Supply is forecast to be back above 1,500 apartments per annum for the first time since 2019”, with 1,775 completions forecast for 2026, and volumes remaining above that level over the following years.&nbsp;

Looking further ahead, completions are forecast to reach 2,500 in 2028, with the report noting 32% of that total is social/affordable, reflecting the role of government‑supported delivery in rebuilding the pipeline.&nbsp;

However, Urbis said Perth remains behind comparable markets on pipeline scale. In a national comparison of projects under construction, the report shows under construction Perth Build‑to‑Sell (BTS) at 3,446 apartments versus the Gold Coast at 7,922. Mr Cresp said “The challenge for Perth is how to we grow the delivery pipeline”.

Urbis’ conclusion is that Perth’s market is increasingly defined by product discipline and delivery certainty, with the research identifying “delivery certainty is key” and calling out builder risk and procurement models as core success factors, alongside “timing and staging”.&nbsp;

Perth apartment sales hit strongest pace since late 2021 as builder capacity tightens

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sammut-developments">Sammut Group</a> has secured development approval for its latest Brisbane apartment project, marking the Sydney developer’s next step in expanding its Queensland pipeline following the success of its debut Gold Coast development, Coast.

The approved project at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/44-glen-road-toowong-qld-4066">44 Glen Road, </a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a> will deliver a 15-storey riverfront apartment building with 42 residences, significantly increasing the scale of the site’s previous approval for a smaller luxury scheme. Designed by Bureau^proberts, the development will comprise a mix of predominantly four-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments positioned to maximise Brisbane River and city views.

Sammut Director Julian Sammut said the group had been actively searching Brisbane for several years before identifying Toowong as the right fit.

“Brisbane was the right step for Sammut,” Sammut said.

“With the success of Coast we thought we should definitely look to do more in Queensland alone. We then pushed up to look at Brisbane. We've been looking for I'd say two to three years actually and it was hard to find the right location.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.14%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dYAVIL7qdcGA8ojvkslSrLjczXFejSSx" />

Sammut said suburbs including New Farm and Teneriffe were considered before the group ultimately focused on Toowong due to its strong downsizer demographic and limited supply of developable riverfront land.

The site was acquired off-market after what Sammut described as a lengthy negotiation and planning process, with the developer pursuing an uplift to the original approval.

“We are DA approved now which is very exciting,” Sammut said.

“We've had our change approval come through and we've obviously doubled the height, 15 storeys plus rooftop. We've got 42 amazing apartments that are going to be coming to market soon.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ohkRkY0dIZlqdfME2EZePsCQavRiBadE" />

Bureau^proberts said the design responds to Toowong’s evolving urban character, balancing contemporary apartment living with the area’s established residential identity.

“A place where traditional Queensland living has taken place for centuries; Toowong is seeing a shift of contemporary influence, commercial and retail hubs mixed with well-considered residential offerings – all the while maintaining its character and charm,” the architect noted in planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council.

The architecture practice said the project’s form was shaped by its riverfront setting, flood considerations, neighbouring building scales, and view corridors.

“They said the mix of four and two-bedroom apartments capture the ‘fundamental qualities of Queenslander living,’ translated into the context of a contemporary subtropical building.”

The development sits just off Coronation Drive within walking distance of Toowong’s retail precinct and the upgraded Regatta ferry terminal, while also benefiting from proximity to the incoming green bridge connection to West End. Sammut said the accessibility and amenity offering were central to the site’s appeal.

The approval adds to growing residential activity along the Toowong riverfront, joining nearby projects including Consolidated Properties’ Monarch Residences and Spyre Group’s ARC Residences.

Sammut secures approval for debut Brisbane apartment development in Toowong

Developer Lanevick is heading back into Sydney’s apartment market after focusing more heavily on the luxury townhouse and terrace sector in recent years.

Lanevick, founded and directed by Steve Maroun, is expecting to receive approval in the coming months for a new apartment development in Gladesville, with the aim to launch it to the market later this year.

The 51-apartment project, designed by Studio Johnston, will comprise a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments positioned toward the Hunters Hill downsizer market.

“Traditionally it’s been difficult for people in that market to downsize because there just hasn’t been the right product available,” Maroun said.

“We’re targeting buyers who might have 30 to 40 per cent of their house value sitting in the bank after downsizing.

“They still want good spacious entertaining areas, they still want quality design, but they also want flexibility and the ability to enjoy life a bit more after working hard for a long time.”

The project sits near Boronia Park and within close proximity to the Parramatta River foreshore, an area Maroun says offers more of a Hunters Hill lifestyle than a traditional apartment precinct.

“From a lifestyle perspective, it’s really more Hunters Hill than Gladesville,” Maroun said. “You’re close to the foreshore, close to parklands, and still connected back into the village precinct.”

From level four and above, apartments will capture water views&nbsp;toward Sydney Harbour. Communal amenity will include rooftop entertaining areas, wellness spaces, and a gym tailored toward owner-occupier buyers.

“We’ve really designed these apartments around that buyer coming from the Hunters Hill LGA and what they’re actually looking for in their next chapter.”

The proposed development has also been designed to respond to the changing character of the broader Gladesville town centre, where a growing number of mixed-use and residential proposals are expected to emerge over the coming years.

“Gladesville presented a rare opportunity to deliver a genuinely design-led residential project within an evolving lifestyle precinct, just moments from the growing Gladesville town centre, and we’ve approached the project with a strong focus on architecture, liveability and long-term community value,” Maroun said.

Maroun said Lanevick saw a first-mover advantage within the precinct as planning controls continue to evolve to accommodate greater housing density.

“We think there’s a real opportunity there that hasn’t really been serviced properly yet,” he said.

“There’s going to be a broader evolution of the whole Gladesville village precinct over time, particularly with more activation and mixed-use outcomes.”

The Venus Street proposal will include a commercial and retail component at ground level designed to contribute to that evolving streetscape activation.

“A big part of the thinking was how do you activate that area properly and create more vibrancy and amenity, which is what Hunters Hill has been looking for,” Maroun said.

Lanevick’s focus since 2020 has largely been on smaller-scale luxury townhouse and terrace developments. The developer recently completed Royale Randwick, also designed by Studio Johnston, where prices reached $3.65 million. The project was featured in the UDIA NSW 2026 Professional Development Prospectus and was also named a finalist for Development of the Year.

Lanevick to cater for Hunters Hill downsizers with new Gladesville apartment development

Property developer One Living, backed by former Macquarie banker turned investment manager Chris Green’s investment firm, has unveiled plans to bring more institutional capital into housing to help address the national supply crisis.

The New York-based investor has focused his firm, GreenPoint Partners, on addressing the supply shortage hitting middle market housing in Australia.

It is backing the new One Living business to develop more than 1000 units along the eastern seaboard. The new firm is starting with a development on Mona Vale Road, on the border of Mona Vale and Pymble, in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, with around 140 apartments planned. They are eyeing off more sites across the city.

With cost pressures rising in the industry, One Living’s model is to be a vertically integrated developer-builder, so it can respond directly to the housing gap by removing the cost inefficiencies embedded in traditional residential delivery.

“We are building a platform designed to operate at scale and starting in a market where there’s a clear need for quality, attainable housing,” One Living joint managing director Joseph Scuderi said.

“It’s that missing middle – it’s that attainable end of housing… that’s what most Australians invest into and what Australians can actually afford.”

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="798dfa93-4941-4db6-a696-31e9dc18e81c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.31.50%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=mKBqi5C_DmeiXS.AtJkcR8LQIxqCqmFi" />

GreenPoint Partners brings years of experience assembling and scaling real estate operating businesses across major markets. And Green sees a big opportunity in Australia.

“For its size, sophistication and importance to the community, Australia’s living sector has remained largely under-institutionalised, which represents significant opportunity,” Green said. “GreenPoint identified that gap, assembled the right team, and is backing One Living to build a platform that is aligned to market needs.”

Green said being a builder-developer would give the company the capacity and flexibility it required to deliver reasonably-priced homes.

“We want it to be at that attainable level; not super high end luxury but at that attainable level,” he said.

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="74a5344a-4b26-4d4a-ada3-056b1220be77" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.32.15%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=vY8hXHO4reBMdO8ZXMWCNtGZJofUPQ3j" />

&nbsp;

One Living will undertake a component of affordable housing in its schemes, which it will own and operate, and it could also run build-to-rent on some sites.

Green praised local policy settings.

“The NSW government is being very supportive, strategic and pragmatic in terms of how do we generate more supply of housing,” he said. “We think it’s actually positive for development and the bit that’s been lacking at that attainable level is that it’s lots of relatively small private developers, whereas we want to create an institutional platform.”

One Living is also&nbsp;looking at high-density projects and could take on more institutional funding in the future.

“The way we will be able to achieve economies of scale is through size,” Green added.

One Living enters Sydney's new apartment market with Northern Beaches site acquisition

It's been several years since there's been an opportunity to buy a brand new townhome in Melbourne's coastal suburb of Mordialloc. Even apartment developments in recent times have been few and far between in the area.

Local developer LDS Property identified the gap in new housing, securing a site on White Street, directly opposite&nbsp;Woodlands Golf Club Mordialloc. They've recently launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/wm-residences-mordialloc-102-white-street-mordialloc-vic-3195">WM Residences</a>, just 13 townhouses which they have already started building.

Projects by Buxton Director Heath Thompson, who is selling WM Residences, says the townhouses x that perfect middle ground be

"Mordialloc residents have had limited options to downsize within the suburb, often forcing them to look elsewhere despite long-standing ties to the area," Thompson says.

"With very little comparable new supply coming to market, projects like WM Residences are well placed, particularly as buyers look to capitalise on current conditions amid constrained supply."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6109]

The development, designed by regarded architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ewert-leaf">Ewert Leaf</a>,&nbsp;adopts a deliberately restrained architectural approach, focusing on simplicity, durability and liveability rather than overt design gestures.

The boutique scale is central to the offering. With only 13 three-bedroom residences, each home is configured to prioritise functional layouts and everyday use, supported by private terraces and secure two-car garages.

Ewert Leaf’s design response leans into a calm, neutral material palette. Interiors are defined by oak flooring, white walls and soft finishes, creating a consistent and understated backdrop. The approach avoids trend-driven detailing in favour of longevity, with an emphasis on natural light and spatial clarity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6110]

Beyond aesthetics, the homes are designed to meet contemporary performance expectations. Each residence targets a minimum 6-star energy rating, incorporating double glazing, comprehensive insulation and all-electric Bosch appliances.

The project’s location supports a walkable coastal lifestyle, sitting within close proximity to Mordialloc’s foreshore, Main Street retail strip and the train station. Local cafés and dining venues, including Suburbia Deli and Hendriks Café, are within a short walk, reinforcing the area’s established neighbourhood character.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6116]

While <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/mordialloc-vic-3195">Mordialloc</a> is often defined by its beach and pier, the project taps into other areas of day to day living, offering easy access to local food, casual dining and transport, rather than positioning itself purely as a lifestyle retreat.

WM Residences reflects a continued trend across Melbourne’s coastal suburbs towards smaller-scale, design-led townhouse developments, particularly on infill sites where proximity to amenity is already established.

With construction commenced prior to its market entry, the project aligns with a growing preference among buyers for developments with visible progress and defined delivery timeframes.

The affordability and sustainability-conscious developer, Assemble, recently&nbsp;launched its latest rent-with-the-option-to-buy apartment development in Melbourne&#39;s Brunswick.

The current factory site at 4 Ballarat Street, Brunswick will be converted by architecture firm Fieldwork to home 171 studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94542 project_image_fid=160733]

Urban takes a look at nine amenities that reflect the world-class amenities available at 4 Ballarat St.

1. Rooftop Pavilion

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94542 project_image_fid=160738]

Boasting an impressive view of Melbourne&rsquo;s skyline, 4 Ballarat St&rsquo;s eighth floor boasts a shared rooftop garden to gather and grow.

The space is designed to use as and when residents like, featuring several social zones for entertaining.

The rooftop is also a space for pets to roam free in a designated dog park, for children to play, or for enjoying the garden and planting space.

2. Barbeque area

At 4 Ballarat St, the walls of your apartment aren&rsquo;t the limit to each &lsquo;home.&rsquo;

&ldquo;Residents are encouraged to make the most of the spaces beyond their apartment &ndash; from being able to host events and parties upstairs on the rooftop, or to cook for friends on the communal barbeque,&quot; Rebecca Shackleton, Director of Relationships and Marketing at Assemble, said.

3. Clothesline and communal laundry

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94542 project_image_fid=160739]

A shared clothesline delivers extra space for drying when favouring an option more energy efficient than a standard dryer.

Similarly, residents can make use of commercial washers available on the roof, despite every apartment boasting a dedicated laundry space and plumbing setup.

4. Assemble Space

Located on the ground floor, the &lsquo;Assemble Space&rsquo; is the point of call for all services and spaces at 4 Ballarat St.

A place to grab a coffee, or have a drink, it&rsquo;s also where residents will find their Assemble neighbourhood team who are on-hand to support the use of the workshop and the lending library, to arranging parcel pick up.

5. A multi-purpose workshop

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94542 project_image_fid=160740]

Assemble have created a multi-purpose workshop space on the ground floor for a space to work on odd jobs or crafts.

Complete with workbenches, shared tools and a wash sink, residents can get things done, and lean on their neighbours for a helping hand.

6. Lending library

Designed to save residents&rsquo; money through the power of sharing, the lending library is made to house all the little things that you can&rsquo;t live without, but rarely use.

These include items such as a step ladder, a slow-cooker, or tools needed to fix a bike.

7. Parcel room and cool storage

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94542 project_image_fid=160737]

While residents are out and about, working and living, the ground-floor parcel room is a convenient and secure place for delivery services to leave online purchases and post.

Or, for residents ordering groceries and drinks, feel secure with a cool storage space that keeps produce fresh until you get home.

8. Secure bike spots

Bikes were made for Brunswick, so Assemble has ensured 4 Ballarat St is home to abundant bicycle storage.

With safe and easily accessible storage, the development will house over 207 bikes and have factored in a dedicated entry point that separates vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

9. Multi-purpose room

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94542 project_image_fid=160729]

The multi-purpose room at Ballarat St is the perfect location for any event.

&ldquo;The multi-purpose room is designed to be flexible enough for all occasions including hosting a communal yoga class or an intimate dinner party celebration with friends,&quot; Shackleton said.

Designed to extend the spaces of the home, and encourage neighbourhood connection, 4 Ballarat St&rsquo;s shared amenities provide meaningful and convenient additions to residential living in Brunswick.

Brisbane&rsquo;s legendary cricket ground, The Gabba, will be the global centrepiece of the 2032 Olympic Games and some homeowners are set to have the best seats in the house.

Silk Lane, the&nbsp;Woolloongabba apartment development&nbsp;to be developed by Southlake Group and Sarazin, is set to be built overlooking the iconic stadium.

The ground-breaking precinct, the second of three exciting stages, will boast the city&rsquo;s first and only rooftop &lsquo;Skystand&rsquo;, offering an unobstructed, birds-eye view into The Gabba stadium.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107345 project_image_fid=172024]

The 306 one, two and three-bedroom apartments have been designed by&nbsp;Nettletontribe&nbsp;Architects and start from just $449,000.

The development will feature a rooftop infinity pool with views across Brisbane, and ground-level commercial spaces.

Located at 8-12 Trafalgar Street, Silk will be positioned just 350 metres from the future Cross River Rail station, just one stop to Albert Street.

Over the next decade, a rush of global infrastructure investment is set to transform Brisbane into a new world city.

The Gabba is the jewel in the city&rsquo;s Olympic crown, with the stadium undergoing a $1 billion rebuild increasing capacity to 50,000 spectators.

It will host the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as the track and field events.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107345 project_image_fid=172025]

The 2032 Brisbane Olympics will not only deliver an economic boost to trade and tourism but is set to have a big impact on the local property market, according to PRD Research chief economist, Dr Diaswati Mardiasmo.

Mardiasmo predicted this month that Brisbane&rsquo;s median house price could increase to $1.7 million by 2023, 2.5 times its current median of $674,738.

With major projects including Woolloongabba&rsquo;s new Cross River Rail station, Brisbane Metro and Queen&rsquo;s Wharf completed by 2032, it is no doubt that Silk Lane residents will reap the benefits.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107345 project_image_fid=172023]

Around The Gabba, a new pedestrian plaza will link the stadium to the new transport stations.

&ldquo;For local sports, the promise of new and revitalised Olympic venues is a game-changer, encouraging families and junior athletes into sporting endeavours and creating potential future champions competing at a home Olympics&rdquo;, the project marketing reads.

This landmark sporting and cultural hub will write a new chapter in Woolloongabba&rsquo;s rich story.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107345 project_image_fid=172021]

Residents can surround themselves with grand panoramas of the Brisbane city skyline on your private residents&#39; rooftop with views across the river and a front-row seat to every game at the Gabba.

The building&rsquo;s architectural fa&ccedil;ade draws inspiration from the angular shapes of metal structure incorporated in the neighbouring stadium.

Silk Lane is expected to reach completion in mid-2024.

A relaxed sense of luxury fills every space, with tonal finishes and complimentary textures that create a luxurious hotel ambience

Inside the two-bedroom Silk Lane apartments in Woolloongabba, home of the 2032 Olympics

An inner-city residential suburb, transport hub, industrial precinct, and world-famous sporting ground, Woolloongabba is many things rolled into one.

It has a long history of occupation and development, but is now poised for new prominence as an Olympic destination in 2032.

And to take advantage of the future infrastructure is Silk Lane, the apartment development that will rise high above The Gabba, the hub of the Olympic Ganes.

Woolloongabba however was not always the melting pot that it is today.

University of Queensland associate professor in history, Geoff Ginn, shares the history of the suburb.

<h2>A Meeting Place</h2>

Before the onset of British colonial development in the 1820s, the Aboriginal people of the Turrbal and Jagara clans knew the place as Woolloon Capemm meaning &lsquo;place of whirling water&rsquo;, a name that reflected the abundant waterholes, swamps and creeks in the area, said associate professor Geoff Ginn.

Ceremonial places included a bora ground on top of Woolloongabba Hill, at the site now occupied by Holy Trinity Church in Hawthorne Street, and two &lsquo;pullen pullen&rsquo; grounds for ceremonial fighting nearby.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107345 project_image_fid=172022]

&ldquo;In 1824, the founding of the Moreton Bay penal settlement heralded the beginning of the European presence in Queensland and the displacement of the First Australians in the area&rdquo;, Ginn continued.

In an attempt to achieve self-sufficiency, convicts in the fledgling settlement cleared and cultivated the south bank of the Brisbane River.

Known as &lsquo;One Mile Swamp&rsquo;, this area had isolated houses and farm dwellings in the 1840s through to the 1850s, when allotments were surveyed and sold.

<figure><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="375" src="/s3/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2021-08-26_at_12.54.37_am.png?itok=gP2p_Jns" title="Woolloongabba Fiveways traffic in 1955" width="580" />

<figcaption>Woolloongabba Fiveways traffic in 1955</figcaption>
</figure>

As the European settlement of Brisbane gathered pace in the 1860s-1880s, most of the southerly traffic from Ipswich Road and Logan Road converged at the site, at the intersection with Stanley Street and Main Street through Kangaroo Point to create the famous &lsquo;Gabba Fiveways&rsquo;.

&ldquo;It wasn&rsquo;t until the 1870s that the name of Woolloongabba was officially used.&rdquo;

A tram service drawn by horses was active after 1885, with electric trams after 1897. After 1895, these brought crowds to football and cricket matches at the recreation reserve later named the Brisbane Cricket Ground.

A major railway station and goods yard appeared at the site and the surrounding industrial areas as streets rapidly filled up with workers cottages and small timber &lsquo;Queenslanders&rsquo;.

A few local landmarks from this period included Woolloongabba Post Office, the Princess Theatre and many hotels in prominent positions at road intersections.

&ldquo;There were also churches and other centres associated with distinct immigrant communities such as the Deutscher Turnverein (now German Club) established in the mid-1880s, the nearby Russian Orthodox Church&rdquo;, Ginn said.

<figure><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="377" src="/s3/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2021-08-26_at_12.54.44_am.png?itok=a71ZJC_1" title="International cricket match at the Gabba in 1931" width="580" />

<figcaption>International cricket match at the Gabba in 1931</figcaption>
</figure>

By this time, with vehicles, trams, and trains filling its streets and footpaths crowded with shoppers and workers, Woolloongabba had assumed its modern form.

<h2>Local Amenities</h2>

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107345 project_image_fid=172025]

Now an energetic place of work, transport, leisure and community, Silk Lane residents are offered convenient local amenities that dot the suburb.

The apartments are in close proximity to Queensland University of Technology and Torrens University, as well as secondary schools including Anglican Church Grammar School and St Laurence&rsquo;s College.

Other local amenities include the soon-to-be-completed Cross River Rail station, The Gabba, Gabba Central shopping centre, Deshon Street Park and Brisbane City Indoor Sports centre.

The history of Woolloongabba: From isolated houses and farm dwellings to the home of the Olympic Games

A lot has changed for Melbourne Square resident Brendan since his days of regular travel to the US and Canada for work through the 2000s.

Now with three adult children, Brendan and wife Jill were looking for a smaller and more practical space to call home, as their old family house in Glen Waverley was just too big for the two of them.

Before settling with his wife Jill on the 55th floor of our East Tower in 2020, the couple had to weigh up their options and think seriously about how their new space would meet the high quality and everyday amenity options Brendan had come to expect from his experiences visiting other integrated lifestyle precincts throughout North America.

Urban caught up with Brendan recently to chat about his purchaser journey and how he and Jill had settled into the growing precinct since deciding to sell the family home and move closer to the city.&nbsp;&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2929 project_image_fid=139893]

How did you hear about Melbourne Square and were you in the market for a new property at the time?

B: Jill and I actually stumbled across the display suite by pure chance! It had only just opened, so naturally we popped our heads in to check it out and it was not too long after that when we made our deposit.

With no kids at home anymore, our old family home in Glen Waverley was just too big for our needs and we were also moving to Montreal temporarily for my work which meant that we needed to make a decision on our new home while abroad.&nbsp;&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2929 project_image_fid=137903]

It was the experience we had during our visit to the display suite that got us over the line and led to us officially making our deposit in 2018 while in Canada. It was quite a surreal experience!

Was there anything that made Melbourne Square stand out for you and helped you make your decision to buy at the project over other residential developments?

B: Setting out on our buying journey, we knew we wanted to live closer to the city. With various developments to consider in Southbank and in Docklands, a standout positive when we were enquiring about Melbourne Square were the different floorplan options available at the project.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2929 project_image_fid=139896]

I’ve travelled and worked overseas for a number of years and seen similar high-quality developments established in the US and in Canada, however I had not seen this same approach to integrated precinct living showcased locally until we visited Melbourne Square.

One of the major things that stood out to my wife Jill and I was the quality of the development. There has been a particular effort placed behind the integration of shared facilities which is helping build an authentic sense of community. Melbourne Square is like its own mini-neighbourhood.

What do you love the most about living at Melbourne Square?

B: We absolutely love the location of Melbourne Square and being wedged between South Melbourne and the city. The feel of the Southbank community is terrific and it is great having the park and Boyd Street Community Centre just a short walk away to take our young grandson for walks.

Having a full-line Woolworths supermarket downstairs is incredibly convenient as well. If you need anything for dinner it is so handy to be able to pop into the lift and be at the shops in a couple of minutes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2929 project_image_fid=139897]

The new restaurants around the precinct are great too and we are looking forward to trying all of them. We ate at Waku Waku Japanese recently which was really nice and it is exciting to see other dining places starting to open. The precinct certainly has a vibrancy building about it.

Being so close to the world-class Melbourne arts precinct has allowed Jill and I to fully immerse ourselves in the arts lifestyle. I particularly loved walking to the Malthouse Theatre, which is just a short stroll away, to watch some of their latest live outdoor gigs.

What are your favourite amenities at the precinct?

B: I find the pool on level 54 is a great way for me to stay active. It has a great outlook across the city and towards Melbourne’s east and lets you soak in panoramic views of the Dandenong Ranges. That said, I must give an honourable mention to the whole level eight pool and podium area. The pool space in particular will become a central part of Melbourne Square’s community and it has been great to see people soaking up the sun there.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2929 project_image_fid=139903]

Jill is also a big fan of the amenity on offer on level 54. Her favourite place would have to be the gym. There is an extensive range of great equipment in there and its generous size and format means it does not get overcrowded.

Would you recommend living at a lifestyle precinct like Melbourne Square to friends?

B: Yes. I would definitely recommend living at a lifestyle precinct like Melbourne Square to friends and family, but particularly to people that are keen to downsize like Jill and I have from our family home.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2929 project_image_fid=96195]

The concierge staff at Melbourne Square are lovely, attentive to our queries, and always greet you warmly when coming and going.&nbsp;

On the whole, our experience with the staff we have dealt with across our entire Melbourne Square journey has been phenomenal and the quality of information included in the marketing assets and floorplate designs have all been very accurate. We have not been oversold the precinct and everything matches what has been delivered.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Before buying we were also able to work with OSK and their team to make some modifications to our bathroom; and any defecting issues we had after moving in were actioned very quickly. Further to this, the quality of the fixtures and fittings is everything we had hoped for and there is plenty of natural light that elevates our living spaces.
