Melbourne’s City Circle tram loops past a dense matrix of culture, education and commerce, but few intersections offer as much access in so little walking distance as the northern end of King Street.

Here, Aspire Melbourne rises 64 storeys from the edge of Flagstaff Gardens, with immediate connectivity to tram and train networks, and pedestrian access to Queen Victoria Market, Marvel Stadium and Melbourne’s major university precincts.

Developed by ICD Property with design by Fraser &amp; Partners, Aspire Melbourne brings 570 apartments to one of the CBD’s most spatially balanced positions, directly between civic green space and key employment infrastructure.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2575 project_image_fid=248847]

Everything from retail and dining to sporting events, art, theatre, and festivals, or the serenity of the city’s gardens, is within walking distance of Aspire.

Melbourne's thriving coffee culture is showcased in the CBD's cobblestoned laneways, with popular cafes such as Brother Baba Budan, Krimper, Stagger Lee's, Higher Ground, and Manchester Press all nearby.

For culinary enthusiasts, Melbourne offers a variety of dining experiences. Highly recommended establishments include Maha, Farmer's Daughter, Coda, and MoVida Next Door, offering everything from Middle Eastern dinners to a night out.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2575 project_image_fid=79443]

Getting around Melbourne is as effortless as finding a great cup of coffee, thanks to the city’s clean, reliable and extensive public transport network. Aspire’s curved tower is a short walk from Melbourne Central Station, Southern Cross Station and the Free Tram Zone, offering seamless connections across the CBD and out to suburban precincts.

This inner-city accessibility is complemented by Aspire’s rare proximity to green space. The tower directly overlooks Flagstaff Gardens, the city’s oldest park, with Fitzroy Gardens and the Royal Botanic Gardens also nearby, framing the CBD in natural beauty.

Just 11 minutes on foot, Queen Victoria Market adds another layer of amenity. A longstanding hub of culture and commerce, it offers fresh produce, gourmet foods, artisanal goods and vibrant multicultural fare, all woven into the daily rhythm of city life.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2575 project_image_fid=79445]

To the west, the CBD’s entertainment quarter features Marvel Stadium, just 750 metres from Aspire, ideal for sports fans and major events.

To the south, Crown Casino along the Yarra River offers entertainment, dining and family-friendly activities, accessible in under 10 minutes by tram.

The Arts Centre Melbourne, a hub for visual art, theatre, music and performance, is also within easy reach by public transport or car.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2575 project_image_fid=311]

For families looking to set up roots in the CBD, education options abound within a one-kilometre radius of Aspire.

The prestigious Haileybury opened its Melbourne CBD campus in January 2017 offering Melbourne's first Early Learning Centre to Year 12 private school campus in the CBD.&nbsp;

<a href="/developments/north-melbourne-vic-3051">North Melbourne</a> Primary School, South Melbourne Primary School, Ozford College, and Simonds Catholic College are among the other choices, while universities like Victoria University, La Trobe University, and Monash University are less than 600 metres away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2575 project_image_fid=79444]

A limited selection of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments remain for sale, with pricing starting from $647,000.

“The Melbourne CBD apartment market has evolved in response to both the strong growth of the overall city as well as the increasing attraction of the CBD which offers unique lifestyle appeal, especially to the fast-growing cohorts of young professionals and university students,” <a href="/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a>&nbsp;Managing Director Residential Tim Storey said.

On the fringe of Flagstaff Gardens: Aspire Melbourne's prime location

The onset of the pandemic was a tough time for developers across the country.

In Western Australia, development came to a grinding halt.

“There had been little to no increase in the cost to build for about 12 to 13 years before the pandemic,” Gavin Hawkins, Executive Director of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/edge-visionary-living">Edge Visionary Living</a>, one of Perth’s premier developers, told Apartments.com.au.

“Everything then went up overnight. Costs escalated, and so did the prices buyers had to pay. Pair the cost increase with the lack of available builders, and any project worth upwards of $100 million had to be paused because it wasn’t feasible to deliver.”

There were also a series of builder insolvencies, while many tier-one firms shifted their focus away from residential towers. “A lot of the large builders had taken on major government contracts for hospitals, schools and transport infrastructure, which offered lower risk and steadier returns. That left very few willing or able to deliver large-scale apartment projects in WA,” Hawkins said.

As a solution-driven business, Edge decided they would bring construction in-house.

“The builder-developer model is a more common model in the eastern states, but it hasn’t really been done in WA before,” Hawkins says. In the middle of 2023, they established Edge Construction, hiring senior staff members from reputable tier-one builders.

“We showed them our pipeline of projects, which de-risked the process somewhat, and now we have a 45-strong construction team working across our six projects currently under construction.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138456 project_image_fid=214895]

Edge’s portfolio is arguably one of the most enviable in the state, with a diverse spread both geographically and in terms of density.

In Crawley, the team is approaching completion of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/broadway-on-the-bay-crawley-168-broadway-crawley-wa-6009">Broadway on the Bay</a>, just 21 riverfront apartments in an eight-level building. North of Crawley, Edge is also soon to complete <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/claytons-mindarie-beachfront-mindarie-50-alexandria-view-mindarie-wa-6030">Claytons Mindarie Beachfront</a>, an 89-residence community comprising apartments, penthouses, and two-storey townhouses.

One of Edge’s most notable developments is <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-dunes-beachfront-residences-scarborough-1-reserve-street-scarborough-wa-6019">The Dunes</a>, a landmark project on the iconic Scarborough beachfront. Its 223 residences are spread across two buildings that will also feature a lagoon pool, wine cellar, and a series of formal and informal dining and lounge areas, reinforcing its positioning as one of the suburb’s most ambitious residential undertakings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134709 project_image_fid=248321]

Edge’s Fremantle project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/muse-at-artisan-place-fremantle-19-burt-street-fremantle-wa-6160">Muse at Artisan Place</a>, is also breaking new ground as the first, and most premium stage, of a new residential precinct in the city’s east end. They have two of the four buildings, Muse West and Muse East, under construction, which will deliver 153 of the broader Artisan Place precinct that will eventually comprise 277 residences.&nbsp;

Not forgetting the CBD fringe, Edge has also commenced the build of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lumiere-south-perth-35-mends-street-south-perth-wa-6151">Lumiere</a>, a mix of 115 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments in a striking curved building by Hilliam Architects in South Perth. Lumiere also leans heavily on resident amenity, with an infinity heated pool with cabanas, a gym with a sauna and yoga deck, billiards room and cocktail bar, a residents’ lounge with fireplace and dining area, and a street-level café and wine bar.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101025 project_image_fid=250028]

Edge is doubling down in South Perth, having recently acquired a site on Harper Terrace, the last privately held riverfront block in South Perth’s Mends Street precinct. Hawkins says the team had been working for years to secure the adjoining block, which had four separate owners in an original apartment building. Then the neighbouring cleared block came up for sale, allowing them to create a prized and unrepeatable 4,000 sqm-plus site.

The plan is to launch Harper on Swan, an 11-level building with around 71 apartments, mostly three-bedroom residences, to the market soon. Hawkins says the downsizer market in particular continues to be resilient in WA. “Now their homes are up to double what they were four years ago, and they are ready to take advantage of that and move into a new apartment,” Hawkins says.

“With strong population growth, full employment, and limited supply in the new apartment space, WA is well positioned heading into 2026.”

Edge’s portfolio is arguably one of the most enviable in the state, with a diverse spread both geographically and in terms of density.

Construction has officially commenced at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/botanical-turner-2-forbes-street-turner-act-2612">Botanical Turner</a>, one of Canberra’s most anticipated new residential communities, with site works well underway in preparation for the piling rig to arrive in November. &nbsp;

Developed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/amalgamated-property-group">Amalgamated Property Group</a> in partnership with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/base-developments">Base Developments</a>, Botanical Turner builds on the team’s proven track record of delivering landmark projects across Canberra and beyond. It is being brought to life by the highly respected team at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/milin-builders">Milin Builders</a>, known for delivering a number of award-winning projects across the ACT.&nbsp;

Almost 50 per cent of the residences have already sold during Stage 1, signalling both the strength of &nbsp;buyer confidence and the rarity of Botanical’s offering.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149632 project_image_fid=338672]

Graham Potts, Principal and Founding Director of Amalgamated Property Group, said the market response affirms the vision for Botanical.&nbsp;

“To see construction now underway is a milestone for both our team and our buyers. Nearly half &nbsp;of the residences have been secured in this first stage, which validates our approach of creating &nbsp;homes that are both distinctive in design and generous in scale. Botanical is more than a &nbsp;residential project, it’s a contribution to the future of Canberra’s inner north, designed to hold its &nbsp;value for generations to come.”&nbsp;

Proving popular with owner-occupiers, Botanical Turner offers a broad range of floorplans with one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences designed for flexibility. The project has drawn the attention of downsizers in particular, who value the low upkeep, leafy inner-north location, and forward-thinking considerations for storage and functionality.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149632 project_image_fid=338671]

Designed by award-winning <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB Architects</a> (2023 International Interior of the Year at World &nbsp;Architecture Festival and 2024 Premiers Prize at NSW Architecture Awards), Botanical Turner &nbsp;makes a statement in both presence and liveability. The building’s bold geometric form is layered in a palette of red brick, terracotta and crisp white.

Carefully integrated communal spaces, including a landscaped courtyard, arched walkways &nbsp;and open thoroughfares, give residents a sense of connection and ease, while the abundant &nbsp;amenities reflect the expectations of a discerning market backed by Amalgamated’s lifestyle-led approach. These include a concierge, indoor lap pool set among greenery, spa, sauna, &nbsp;steam room and a fully equipped gym.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149632 project_image_fid=338674]

Keenan Veraar, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/lj-hooker-project-marketing-act-0">LJ Hooker</a>, said Botanical Turner has exceeded expectations in terms of demand.&nbsp;

“Botanical Turner has attracted strong early interest and I believe that is because of three key factors; its beautiful build form, the generous apartment sizes, and buyers know they are purchasing into a project backed by one of Canberra’s most respected development partnerships,"&nbsp;Veraar said.

"Amalgamated and Base have delivered time and again, and that consistency gives people confidence. SJB Architects has created outstanding projects interstate using similar &nbsp;tones and materials, all of which have been incredibly well received. That pedigree reassures &nbsp;our buyers that Botanical will set a new benchmark for Canberra.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149632 project_image_fid=338672]

Dennis Milin, Principal of Base Developments and Milin Builders, said construction progress is advancing on schedule.&nbsp;

“Off-site works and site servicing are nearing completion, with excavation and preparation for &nbsp;piling equipment in progress to allow for the commencement of basement earthworks," Milin says.

"With decades of delivery experience and a longstanding partnership with Amalgamated, we’re &nbsp;committed to bringing SJB’s vision for Botanical Turner to life. The project will be defined by the &nbsp;same uncompromising standards and attention to detail that underpin every one of our developments.”&nbsp;

Apartments at Botanical start from $600,000.

Design-led property developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/orchard-piper">Orchard Piper</a> has achieved $125 million in sales prior to publicly launching its latest Toorak Village development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/one-toorak-place-7-19-carters-avenue-toorak-vic-3142">One Toorak Place</a>, to market.

The milestone was reached with the sale of a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom apartment to a Toorak local for $13.75 million, achieving per square metre rates of $37,000.

Another notable recent transaction is the sale of a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom residence to Toorak local Paul Rosen for $12.65 million in July representing a square meter rate of $43,174.&nbsp;

In May, the development made history with the record-breaking penthouse sale of more than $20 million, to Group CEO at Accent Group Limited Daniel Agostinelli and his wife Lynette.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140659 project_image_fid=352237]

Orchard Piper Director Luke McKie said the record breaking achievement and sales success reflects the demand for thoughtfully designed, luxury residences and the unique lifestyle proposition of a serviced residential building that offers the scale of a home, but with added lifestyle benefits, high security and amenity.

“The early purchasers of this project are very familiar faces to Orchard Piper. Many of them are Toorak locals who have waited years for the right project to buy into. They understand how rare this offering is, and trust us to deliver them an outstanding property.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140659 project_image_fid=352236]

Developed in collaboration with joint venture partner NPACT (a partnership between James Packer’s family office and Todd Nisbet), One Toorak Place introduces a new model of hotel-style residential living to the suburb.&nbsp;

Located at 7-11A and 17-19 Carters Avenue, the development includes a collection of two-, three-, and four-bedroom residences and penthouses, boutique commercial suites, curated retail and an integrated hospitality precinct by acclaimed restaurateur Chris Lucas.

Delivered in his signature style, the precinct will be curated to reflect the spirit of the neighbourhood and the lifestyle of its residents. Lucas will also design a suite of bespoke services for residents of the building, including in-residence private dining, cellar concierge services and priority access to all Chris Lucas restaurants.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140659 project_image_fid=352238]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/kerry-hill-architects">KHA (Kerry Hill Architects)</a>, residents will enjoy access to hotel-style five-star services and amenities, including concierge, a 25-metre lap pool, full-service gym, sauna, steam room, and hot and cold therapies. Also included are a dedicated resident lounge, resident meeting room, a golf simulator, and practical facilities such as dog-wash and car-wash bays.&nbsp;

One Toorak Place is Toorak’s largest planning approval to date, occupying the 3,589 sqm former Mercedes-Benz Toorak site. With a total of 5,000 sqm of premium land under development across two projects in Toorak Village, Orchard Piper’s contribution to the precinct is set to surpass $550 million in value, reinforcing its long-term commitment to design-led renewal in the area.&nbsp;

Construction on One Toorak Place is expected to commence towards the end of 2025.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=140659]

The development is now over 30 per cent sold by value in under three months, with significant sales including a record-breaking $20 million penthouse, and two four-bedroom apartments for $13.75 million and $12.65 million.

The first large-scale residential community built on the Gold Coast’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/isle-of-capri-qld-4217">Isle of Capri</a> in more than 30 years is nearing sell-out, with limited villas now available in the exclusive island enclave.

Developed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/monaco-property-group">Monaco Property Group</a> and built by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/greyburn">Greyburn</a>, Capri Villas brings 48 architect-designed homes to one of the Gold Coast’s most sought-after addresses. The gated community combines privacy, security and premium design in a central location.

Michael Kollosche, Managing Director of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/kollosche-new-projects">Kollosche</a>, said security and lifestyle are front of mind for today’s buyers.

“Capri Villas offers the comfort of a home, the convenience of a central location, and the confidence that comes with a gated community.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=351864]

With only a handful of villas remaining, the sales momentum reflects both strong buyer demand for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri-qld-4217">Capri Villas</a> and a broader shortage of new, move-in-ready boutique homes on the Gold Coast.

The villas span two levels, each with three bedrooms, generous living areas and high-end finishes such as marble kitchens with Gaggenau appliances. Solid concrete construction underpins the design, while landscaped courtyards extend living spaces outdoors. Practical inclusions like secure garaging, ducted climate control and ample storage enhance everyday comfort.

Residents also have access to resort-style facilities within the gated grounds, including a swimming pool with cabanas and day beds, landscaped outdoor entertaining areas with barbecues, and a residents’ lounge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=351872]

“Opportunities like this don’t come up often,” Kollosche added.

“Capri Villas combines security, design and location in a way that is rare on the Gold Coast and the level of interest we’re seeing reflects that.”

Isle of Capri is an island community tucked in behind Surfers Paradise, offering residents a quieter lifestyle while remaining close to the action. Linked to the beachfront by bridge, the suburb is favoured for its walkability, with Capri on Via Roma (including Harris Farm Markets) providing dining, cafes and essentials just 800 metres away. Beaches, restaurants and entertainment are close at hand, while transport connections add to the suburb’s appeal.

Capri Villas are located at 81 Salerno Street, Isle of Capri. Two-level, three-bedroom villas are priced from $2.4 million.

Kingscliff has been a hotspot for developers of late.&nbsp;

Sydney developers Allera are the next to take to the sought-after coastal suburb, with plans for a $17 million residential project at 140-142 Marine Parade.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of the Marine Parade apartment project." data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8eb111ac-199e-4d16-b85c-fb8c999bc612" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-08-26%20at%2012.07.17%20pm.png?VersionId=PNxAw_yAyqA6D_5VqA6hl.VvSBiHlMcK" />

The group, who have previously developed in Sydney’s Box Hill, Cherrybrook and Grantham Farm, will demolish the existing buildings that are on the site to make way for two residential flat buildings, comprising 25 apartments in total.&nbsp;

Clarke Hopkins Clarke designed the plans for the Kingscliff site, with the four-storey development drawing inspiration from its surrounding context.&nbsp;

With dual frontages to Pearl Street and Marine Parade, the two buildings are separated with a landscaped open space, which will also serve as the residential communal offering.

<img alt="Render of the Marine Parade apartment project." data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7a91fbc9-92fd-4bf2-a720-35e56f5f5f68" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-08-26%20at%2012.07.46%20pm.png?VersionId=AkGHbwO8rFLVGOM8K5coMqRaqUJa6fDE" />

Building A will comprise 15 three-bedroom apartments, spanning from 138 sqm to 182 sqm, while building B will home seven three-bedroom apartments, spanning from 97 sqm to 115 sqm, along with two two-bedrooms at 80 sqm and one one-bedroom apartment at 66sqm.

With consideration to its coastal environment, the built form is made from durable and robust materials, finished with pre-cast concrete panels.&nbsp;

The communal are is set to include a pool, along with barbecue facilities and seating area, set amongst the lush native landscaping, which has been designed to fit with the surrounding environment.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of the communal area at the Marine Parade apartment project." data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="57322cf9-799e-485b-9a63-58980d61b820" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-08-26%20at%2012.07.30%20pm.png?VersionId=3zLS6BwLjzvx3z9_WnPNDaBzNmz4WkpP" />

Kingscliff also recently saw a development application lodged for a project at 41 Kingscliff Street.

Gold Coast architects Lea Design Studio put together the plans for the 13 apartments, a mix of&nbsp;four one-bedroom, eight two-bedroom apartments, and a single three-bedroom residence.

Taking advantage of the site’s enviable location, just off Marine Parade along Kingscliff Beach, each of the apartments adjoin to a private courtyard or balcony, while the entire site also shares a communal garden courtyard, with seating and lush green landscaping.

Sydney developers Allera are the next to take to the sought-after coastal suburb, with plans for a $17 million residential project at 140-142 Marine Parade.

Allera to develop apartments along Kingscliff’s Marine Parade

Adelaide has continued to lead the property bounce back with the house price fall expected in Sydney and Melbourne not reaching the South Australian capital.

Adelaide dwelling prices could rise by up to eight per cent growth, SQM Research&rsquo;s&nbsp;Boom and Bust&nbsp;report predicted last November.

Units are expected to yield better results than homes this year, as affordability issues restrict many buyers from entering the property market.

Nonetheless, interstate investor interest has continued, especially as Adelaide rose to be the third most liveable city in the world according to the latest Economist Intelligence Unit&rsquo;s survey.

Urban has wrapped the best apartments on offer across South Australia&#39;s capital.

1. Quayview on Adelphi, Glenelg North

Offering a collection of 44 apartments, Quayview on Adelphi delivers a collection of 21 unique floorplans and views, catering for every kind of lifestyle.

&ldquo;The design of the internal architectural fa&ccedil;ades and the lush valley landscape was inspired by the stepped landforms of rice paddy fields and the stone terraces of Machu Picchu&rdquo;, said lead architect Kim Lowman.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3730 project_image_fid=171606]

A series of public piazzas and retail spaces will activate the area along Camberwell Road, providing a local gathering spot for residents.

Exclusive residents&rsquo; amenities are also on offer, such as a spectacular sky pool, gym, splash pool and rooftop grill.

Other private spaces include a residents&rsquo; garden, multi-function space, lounge and dining, sky walk, rooftop lawn and sky lounge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3730 project_image_fid=171604]

&ldquo;Located on the top level, the Hawthorn Park private dining room is the perfect setting for residents to host cocktail parties and exclusive dinners&rdquo;, the project marketing reads.

Each apartment also comes with access to a wellness centre, with a state-of-the-art gym, yoga studio, massage rooms and more.

The garden spaces between the buildings of Hawthorn Park have been designed as places of true relaxation by landscape architect Jack Merlo.

&ldquo;My design for Hawthorn Park has been carefully considered to encourage quiet recreation and reflective moments in traditional garden areas, with a more active lifestyle catered for on the rooftop terraces&rdquo;, he said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3730 project_image_fid=171608]

The development boasts 2,000sqm of landscaping that features indigenous and exotic plant species, hardy and flowering trees and contrasting foliage.

Expansive central gardens have been designed as a parkland escape in the urban setting, where residents can enjoy a central lawn, walkway, garden pavilion and hammock lounge.

Interiors continue the theme of the contoured exterior and lush landscaping to provide a unified aesthetic experience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3730 project_image_fid=171610]

The development includes high-quality finishes, intelligent floorplans, private park vistas and a wide range of residential options.

Completed last year by Hickory, residents can move in now to this one-of-a-kind property.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94542 project_image_fid=160734]

Located in the heart of Brunswick, 4 Ballarat Street operates on a rent-with-the-option-to-buy model, which has made this development particularly popular with first home buyers.

Brought to life by Assemble and Fieldwork Architects, the Brunswick site was previously a factory designed by Melbourne architects AK Lines, McFarlane and Marshall.

The development similarly picks up on these distinctive qualities of post-war industrial buildings and the predominant terracotta hues of the neighbourhood in its interiors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94542 project_image_fid=160730]

Apartments are accented with warm colours and no-fuss design details such as terracotta tiles, hard-wearing benchtops, rich terracotta-coloured kitchen joinery, and chrome finishes.

As Melbourne continues to emerge stronger out of lockdown, JWLand are seeing increased enquiry activity at their green-laden Ivanhoe apartment and townhouse development, The Grounds.

Buyers are more and more attracted to green spaces within their residences, which The Grounds offers in spades.

JWLand Marketing Manager&nbsp;Nick Babic said the project has been particularly in demand with downsizers.

&quot;They&#39;ve been attracted to the low maintenance living, which enables a lock up and leave lifestyle and encourages travel now the borders are starting to reopen,&quot; Babic says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5806 project_image_fid=168937]

Babic also notes the downsizers have been keen on The Grounds for the quality fixtures and fitting put together by the team across each apartment and townhouse.

&quot;They&#39;re downsizing, not downgrading,&quot; Babic added.

JWLand has put an&nbsp;emphasis on community and the environment at The Grounds, with more than half of the grounds being green spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5806 project_image_fid=168932]

At the established suburb of Ivanhoe puts residents in the heart of one of Melbourne&#39;s most sought-after suburbs, just 15 minutes from the CBD and on the doorstep of the ever-popular Upper Heidelberg Road.

The Grounds comprises an exclusive collection of three apartment buildings, Wilfred, Wamba and The Boulevard.

At the centre of the precinct is the sprawling Central Park, stretching into a network of gardens and out into the nearby Ivanhoe and Chelsworth Parks.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5806 project_image_fid=168935]

There is also the Oak Terraces, located off Cedric Street, offering a small collection of townhomes.

Townhomes optimise aspect and outdoor space where living zones are filled with natural light and genuine connection to their leafy environment.

The open design is generously scaled to easily adapt from a relaxed living space to a luxurious entertainer.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5806 project_image_fid=168928]

Comfort and warmth are achieved through a controlled neutral palette and wide timber floorboards underfoot.

The two-level homes feature independent entries, outdoor terraces to both levels and a lockable garage for two cars.

Fa&ccedil;ades of brickwork, textural concrete render and blackened metals establish a timeless identity with material elements inspired by the grand homes of Ivanhoe East.

Neue, the Macquarie Park apartment development by COLI Australia, is to set a new benchmark for apartment living in the northern Sydney suburb.

Set across two towers, the development boasts 285 residences in one, two, three and four-bedroom configurations.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7149 project_image_fid=175522]

Every aspect of these apartments is the result of a refined creative process, inspired by native Australian flora to provide a crafted retreat that residents will enjoy coming home to.

Urban takes a look at five things we love about Macquarie Park&rsquo;s newest apartment towers.

1. Reputable developer

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7149 project_image_fid=175524]

Delivered by COLI, residents at Neue can feel confident at having a home developed by a property development arm of the world&rsquo;s largest construction company.

Established in 1979, COLI has proven their successful ability to deliver high quality, innovative and progressive developments all around the world, including Macquarie Park&rsquo;s tallest residential tower.

One in 15 people living in Hong Kong reside in a home built by COLI, according to the project marketing.

2. Strong location

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7149 project_image_fid=175540]

&ldquo;When we saw this location, we knew it had so much to offer. As a former site for Macquarie University, it was recognised as a gateway to this neighbourhood&rdquo;, the project developers said.

Standing tall at the entrance to the thriving Macquarie Park neighbourhood, Neue has an inviting feel thanks to its open corner position but delivers the perks of privacy thanks to leafy native trees that screen the property.

The home is located next to Macquarie University, ranked among the top two per cent of tertiary institutions in the world, and Macquarie University Station, one of Sydney&rsquo;s largest transport intersections.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7149 project_image_fid=175526]

Investors will feel confident knowing their property is placed in a new emerging CBD and the strategic centre of Sydney&rsquo;s growth plan, as well as NSW&rsquo;s second-largest shopping centre, Macquarie Park.

3. Distinctive fa&ccedil;ade

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7149 project_image_fid=175521]

The native Banksia is found throughout the grounds at Neue, but they can also be seen in the unique character of the two buildings&rsquo; architectural form.

&ldquo;The two buildings rise out of the ground, like the spikes of a Banksia flower. The breezeways act as the stem, with each apartment a distinctive floret. As you move your eyes upwards the colour shifts and blends, just as a flower in bloom&rdquo;, the project marketing illustrates.

Designed by SJB Architects, the pure concrete and glass anatomy display subtle tones of green and gold with every architectural detail carefully considered.

4. Green surrounds

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7149 project_image_fid=175537]

Rising above native gum trees, Neue stands tall at the gateway to Macquarie Park.

Beautifully landscaped, the project boasts green borders and an expansive central green area, curated to provide ample space to breathe, walk, and relax beneath the shade of verdant greenery.

COLI has delivered areas to enhance social interaction and a sense of community, with barbeques, play areas and quiet spaces to enjoy amongst friends, family or new neighbours.

Most apartments also offer unique, 180 &ndash; 270&deg; views across Sydney&rsquo;s skyline to the native treetops of Lane Cove National Park.

5. Considered interiors

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7149 project_image_fid=175525]

Every aspect of Neue aims to connect residents with the outside world, from the spacious lobby framed in natural stone and timber, to the material finishes within your own home.

Kitchens have&nbsp;been designed with stone island benchtops, integrated appliances, and smart pantry storage.

Refined finishes allow in natural light, while handmade joinery serves to deliver a simple and noble interior concept.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7149 project_image_fid=175536]

Inspired by handmade artisanal techniques, colours have been perfectly balanced to reflect a sense of restrained elegance and continuity as you walk through each apartment.

Set across two towers, the development boasts 285 residences in one, two, three and four-bedroom configurations

As COVID-19 marks the shift to valuing the importance of living nearby lifestyle amenities and natural spaces, beachside properties are becoming a hot commodity amongst investors and homebuyers.

Imagine investing in one of Australia&rsquo;s booming coastal hotspots, reaping the rewards of owning a beachside property in a suburb yet to reach its capital growth peak.

Urban takes a look at five properties in fast-growing beachside suburbs that may make for an exciting lifestyle change and strong investment decision.

1. Ryrie Home, Geelong

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5559 project_image_fid=88243]

Located in the fastest-growing regional city in Australia, Ryrie Home provides the ideal sea change for residents hoping to escape the bustle of cities like Melbourne and Sydney.

Located within walking distance to Eastern Beach, the property is also proving popular with investors. It was listed as Urban&#39;s most popular investor project for Q1 2021.

This is thanks to Geelong&rsquo;s low vacancy rate of 1.7 per cent and the 10 per cent per annum growth in apartments over the last three years.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5559 project_image_fid=168395]

Investors are similarly drawn to the growing region thanks to transport improvements in Geelong, including the $100 million fast rail and the&nbsp;$6.7 billion Westgate Tunnel which will shave 20 minutes off any commute.

Developed by Franz&eacute; and designed by Architectus, the project boasts one, two and three-bedroom residences across 11 storeys, drawing upon Geelong&rsquo;s history and its architectural vernacular.

2. Siskas at Taskers, Fremantle

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7864 project_image_fid=142658]

Only a 20-minutes drive to Perth&rsquo;s CBD or a swift boat cruise to the magnificent Rottnest Island, Siskas is a great new development to hit Fremantle.

Delivered by Gary Dempsey Developments, the development makes up the highly-anticipated final release of their coveted Taskers development.

Just 250-metres to Rocky Bay&rsquo;s stunning riverside walking trails or 450-metres to the pristine sands of Leighton Beach, Siskas enhances the cosmopolitan way of life that is resonating with owner-occupiers and investors alike.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7864 project_image_fid=142657]

Designed by Zuideveld Marchant Hur, the development features five-star hotel-quality amenities, including 3,000sqm of private landscaped grounds, communal herb garden and fruit trees and temperature-controlled wine appreciation room.

3. Pearl, Main Beach

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106752 project_image_fid=169993]

Located at 3550-3552&nbsp;Main Beach Parade, Pearl rises 30 floors and boasts 80 two and three-bedroom residences in the affluent Gold Coast suburb.

Although demographics point to a large portion of established independents, youth and elderly singles, families moving to Main Beach have been steadily growing, making Main Beach an enviable location for budding investors.

This is all thanks to the convenience of living close by the Marina Mirage, which has an array of boutique shopping and waterfront dining experiences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106752 project_image_fid=170009]

Developed by Raptis, Pearl offers a striking architectural presence and includes an exquisite lobby, rooftop pool and easy beach access.

Over the past year alone, two-bedroom units in Main Beach have seen weekly asking prices grow 17.0 per cent, according to SQM Research.

4.&nbsp;La Sal, Chelsea

[smartcode_project:default project_id=15254 project_image_fid=41692]

Drawing inspiration from the salt and sand of the sea nearby, La Sal presents the perfect beachside lifestyle in Chelsea.

Hallmarked by investors as a good investment suburb, Chelsea ranks second in Victoria when it comes to estimated capital gains experienced by property investors over the past three years, according to Smart Property Investment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=15254 project_image_fid=41694]

Conceptualised and crafted by Lowe Living together with the acclaimed Chamberlain Architects, this boutique series of three townhomes and six apartments lies moments from Chelsea Beach.

The contemporary two-level built form sits in perfect harmony with its stunning beachside setting, evoking the essence of its striking context.

5. Villea, Palm Beach

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106840 project_image_fid=178468]

Delivered by Abadeen Group, Villea is nestled in the heart of the Southern Gold Coast and located only 400-metres from the beach.

The development comprises two and three-bedroom apartments, all with secure car parking and unrivalled panoramic views. 
 
Located in a commanding position with 70-metres of Northern frontage, Villea boasts incredible views over the Pacific Ocean, Tallebudgera Creek and the Burleigh Headland.
