<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/golden-age-group">Golden Age Group</a> has unveiled a new benchmark for wellness-led residential design, announcing the transformation of the 1867-built, heritage-listed Maritima House, into a private wellness clubhouse for residents of its flagship bayside community, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/maritima-brighton-47-south-road-brighton-vic-3186">Maritima Brighton</a>. 
&nbsp; 
The repurposing of the historic property into a high-end private wellness clubhouse responds to shifting priorities among homebuyers, with wellbeing now emerging as a key driver in residential real estate. Research from the Global Wellness Institute shows that up to 90 per cent of health outcomes are linked to where and how we live. 
&nbsp; 
According to recent research, 73 per cent of homeowners and renters say health impacts will be a factor in selecting their next home. Buyers now seek environments that encourage holistic wellbeing, with access to lifestyle-enhancing amenities such as yoga rooms, gyms, pools, parks, and community facilities that support connection and active living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140306 project_image_fid=363738] 
&nbsp; 
Designed by award-winning <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/carr-design">Carr</a>, Maritima Brighton’s wellness offering is situated around the historic Maritima House, once a central point of the Xavier Junior School and now approved for adaptive reuse as the Maritima Clubhouse.&nbsp;

The Maritima Clubhouse facilities are centred around a central courtyard and pool and feature indoor and outdoor amenities including:

<ul>
	<li>A yoga and meditation studio</li>
	<li>Communal infrared sauna &amp; steam room</li>
	<li>Cold plunge bath and magnesium pool</li>
	<li>Fully equipped gym</li>
	<li>Outdoor swimming pool</li>
	<li>Lounge areas and pergola with BBQ facilities</li>
	<li>Landscaping with mature heritage-protected trees and drought-tolerant native plantings</li>
</ul>

This resort-style amenity will be exclusively available to residents of Maritima Brighton, creating a space for relaxation, recovery and community connection just moments from the beach. The project’s proximity to local walking paths, recreational trails, sports grounds and parklands further enhances its health-oriented positioning.

“As wellness becomes central to how Australians choose to live, we are embedding it into the fabric of our communities, not simply as amenity, but as infrastructure.” said Damien Hehir, Development Director, Golden Age Group.

“The Maritima Clubhouse reflects this ethos, bringing meaningful wellness infrastructure to an exceptional bayside location.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140306 project_image_fid=363814]

Nearly all 13 land lots in the first release of land parcels at Maritima Brighton sold in the opening weeks. Brighton downsizers made up the majority of purchasers. The overarching purchasing drivers were security and privacy, with Maritima featuring a&nbsp;monitored gated entry, underground parking and discreet integration into Hartley Street’s quiet residential streetscape.

The broader masterplan will feature&nbsp;83 architect-designed townhomes by Carr. Guided by a refined coastal palette, heritage restoration, and carefully considered landscaping, the masterplan is designed to complement the site’s natural features while protecting its legacy and elevating its future.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140306 project_image_fid=363737] 
&nbsp; 
“The design approach at Maritima Brighton is grounded in the idea that wellbeing is shaped by the environments we inhabit every day," Carr Director Richard Beel said.

"By centring the masterplan around the heritage Maritima House and surrounding it with wellness facilities, a green canopy, and walkable connections to the bay, we’ve created a community where architecture, landscape and lifestyle work together to support long-term health, ease of living and meaningful connection."&nbsp;

A 19th-century landmark reimagined as Bayside’s most exclusive wellness centre

Golden Age launches Maritima Brighton as "new wave of wellness real estate" hits Melbourne's Bayside

Boutique Melbourne developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lowe-living">Lowe Living</a> has launched its ultra-luxury <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/maison-savoy-150-esplanade-brighton-vic-3186">Maison Savoy</a> development, a redevelopment of the former Brighton Savoy Hotel on the Esplanade.

Prices range between $3.7 million for the 174 sqm apartments, the just over $16 million for the penthouses that reach 375 sqm.

Maison Savoy occupies a tightly held coastal position offering views of Port Phillip Bay and sitting moments from the iconic Brighton Bathing Boxes, Royal Brighton Yacht Club and Middle Brighton Baths, and a short walk from Church Street’s retail and dining precinct.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140818 project_image_fid=366478]

Lowe Living has brought together a renowned design team: Studio Kennon as architect and interior designer, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/myles-baldwin-design">Myles Baldwin</a> as landscape architect, and Aurora Spa &amp; Bathhouse as the private wellness curator.&nbsp;

The collection comprises a limited selection of two and three-bedroom residences set across two distinct and private buildings that converge around a central oculus with a calming reflective pool.

Visible from above, the garden maintains a constant connection to landscape throughout the development. Cascading climbers soften the architecture, while tree canopies move gently in the sea breeze, introducing light, motion and seasonal change into interior spaces.

Curved glass, honed natural stone, polished plaster, ribbed European clay brickwork and limestone will be used in the build, as well as a restrained palette of natural materials respond to the coastal context.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140818 project_image_fid=366477]

At the heart of Maison Savoy is a private gym and residents-only European-inspired bathhouse, curated by Sorrento’s Aurora Spa &amp; Bathhouse, an amenity rarely seen within a residential setting.&nbsp;

The full-floor wellness offering includes a hydrotherapy pool, salt room, sauna, steam room, cold plunge pool, foot activation zone and a Vichy rainfall bed, one of only a handful in Australia.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140818 project_image_fid=366474]

Each residence will feature state-of-the-art Wolf ovens, cooktops and a combi-microwave oven, integrated wine fridges, concealed butler's pantries, and bathrooms with freestanding baths, double vanities, brushed nickel fixtures and feature glass.

Custom oak veneer joinery and flexible living zones lead to adaptable winter gardens which offer a transitional space with operable glazed windows allowing residents to modulate light, breeze and outlook depending on the season.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140818 project_image_fid=366480]

Emma Lowe, Co-Founder of Lowe Living, said the uncompromising architecture and design of Maison Savoy reflected a new luxury benchmark for considered, lifestyle-driven living.&nbsp;

“Maison Savoy is one of our most curated and refined residential projects to date," Lowe said.

“Maison Savoy is more than a residential address, it is a legacy in the making. Collaborating with such an esteemed architecture and interior designer in Pete Kennon from Studio Kennon to express the level of quiet luxury and refined architecture that is appropriate for such a rare beachfront location was such an important part of reimagining this iconic site.&nbsp;

“Bringing together the likes of Studio Kennon, Myles Baldwin and Aurora Spa &amp; Bathhouse has ensured we are elevating every single element of the project to reflect the enduring nature of the architectural design response."

Lowe Living unveils Maison Savoy in Brighton

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/salter-brothers">Salter Brothers</a>-backed project, now around 70 per cent complete with builder <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/ironside">Ironside</a> on site, is expected to welcome its first residents by October 2026, with new incentives aimed at purchasers preparing for near-term move-in.

The developer is offering a select number of upgrade packages valued at up to $5,000, available on a first-come, first-served basis. These incentives are offered for new purchasers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=358855]

Buyers can choose between two inclusions. The first is a move-in whitegoods package, designed to streamline the transition into a new home by covering key appliances from day one. The second option provides an additional secure basement storage cage, responding to growing demand for flexible storage solutions in apartment living.

The incentive release comes as <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/candela-ivanhoe-40-upper-heidelberg-road-ivanhoe-vic-3079">Candela Ivanhoe</a> moves into its final stages of construction, with more than half of the residences already sold and a buyer profile heavily weighted toward owner-occupiers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357508]

Designed by John and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/kathy-demos">Kathy Demos</a>, Candela comprises a mix of one to four-bedroom apartments and townhouses, with an emphasis on larger floorplans, natural light, and functional storage, features that align closely with the upgrade offering.

Residences have been planned around everyday liveability, with flexible layouts, private living zones, and generous internal proportions that exceed typical apartment benchmarks in the area. Kitchens are fitted with Miele appliances, while the broader development offers exclusive resident amenities, including a residential lounge and rooftop terrace. A ground-floor café and wellness centre are also integrated into the project, designed to foster community connection while serving both residents and the wider neighbourhood.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357511]

Salter Brothers says the project has been shaped to support a range of buyers, from first-home buyers to downsizers to young families and even inter-generational lifestyle, with over 90 per cent of purchasers to date intending to live in their homes rather than invest.

Positioned on Upper Heidelberg Road, Candela sits in the heart of Ivanhoe Village, Ivanhoe Station, and a range of local parks and pre-eminent schools, contributing to a Walk Score of 90. This level of connectivity has underpinned demand from buyers seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle without sacrificing access to established amenity.

Salter Brothers introduces limited $5,000 upgrade packages as Candela Ivanhoe nears completion

Now complete and open, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/time-place">Time &amp; Place</a>'s Queensbridge Building introduces a new way of living in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/southbank-vic-3006">Southbank</a>, where residences, hospitality and culture come together in a fully realised precinct.&nbsp;

The 65-storey tower is already welcoming residents and guests, with its integrated hotel, dining venues and amenity offering activating the building from day one.

Developed by Time &amp; Place and constructed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/hickory">Hickory</a>, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/the-queensbridge-building-southbank-90-queensbridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The Queensbridge Building</a> at 90 Queensbridge Street combines 353 residences with the 188-room Hannah St Hotel, operated by TFE Hotels.&nbsp;

The precinct is already active, with Hannah St Hotel welcoming guests and venues such as Coupette, Bar Hannah and the Carriage Lounge operating across the ground and podium levels. Weekends are seeing strong visitation, reinforcing its role as both a residential address and a broader lifestyle destination.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=360990]

What sets Queensbridge apart is its integration of residential living with a fully operational hotel and hospitality offering, delivering a level of service, activation and convenience rarely seen in Melbourne's apartment market.

Interiors throughout, both in the residential tower and the hotel, were designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/flack-studio">Flack Studio</a>, with architecture by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fraser-partners-0">Fraser &amp; Partners</a>.&nbsp;

The residences balance rough-cut stone, cool concrete and rich timbers against abundant natural light. Floor-to-ceiling windows and open floorplans carry that through into the layout.

Interior designer David Flack has described the hotel as "part grand hotel, part cultural clubhouse," reflecting the project's ambition to balance hospitality, design and community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=362184]

The Queensbridge Clubhouse sits at the heart of the residential offering: lap pools, sauna, steam room, gym, outdoor terraces, private dining rooms and co-working spaces, all bookable through the building's dedicated app. The hotel's wellness amenities extend that offer further, with Hannah St Hotel services available to residents through the Clubhouse.

Time &amp; Place Founder and Director Tim Price said the vision was always to create something more than a residential tower.

"The vision for Queensbridge was to create a building that felt connected to the neighbourhood and to Melbourne itself. It is not just a residential tower, but a place where residents, visitors and the wider community can gather, experience hospitality and enjoy city life together."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=362170]

The National Gallery of Victoria, Arts Centre Melbourne and the Yarra River promenade are within easy walking distance, and Crown Melbourne and the CBD are next door. The Victorian Government's $1.7 billion Melbourne Arts Precinct Transformation is already underway in the surrounding area, which will only add to the precinct's draw over the coming years.

Many of the remaining apartments sit on the upper levels, with sweeping views across Melbourne's CBD skyline, Albert Park and Port Phillip Bay, the floor-to-ceiling windows and open floorplans are what those floors were designed around.

Price said the development was always intended to contribute to the surrounding neighbourhood rather than stand apart from it.

"We set out to create a building that reflects Melbourne's culture and energy. By combining residences, hospitality and shared spaces, Queensbridge becomes more than a place to live. It becomes part of the neighbourhood."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=272109]

Only a limited collection of completed two and three-bedroom residences remain, presenting a rare opportunity to secure a finished home within a design-led precinct and move in immediately.

For Time &amp; Place, the completion of The Queensbridge Building marks the close of a significant chapter in delivery. Looking ahead, early plans are underway for a new 22-storey residential project on Park Street in South Melbourne, comprising approximately 300 apartments. More to come in 2026.

Time &amp; Place's Queensbridge Building presents a fully realised, lived experience. For buyers seeking certainty, design quality and lifestyle, it delivers a precinct already brought to life.

Now complete: Inside Southbank's newest residential and hotel destination

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/candela-ivanhoe-40-upper-heidelberg-road-ivanhoe-vic-3079">Candela Ivanhoe</a>, a limited collection of loft-style residences introduces a housing typology rarely seen in Melbourne’s established north-east.

Designed as double-level homes within a broader apartment development, these residences respond to buyers seeking the spatial separation and flexibility of a townhouse, while retaining the efficiency, connectivity and greater security from apartment living.

Located at 40 Upper Heidelberg Road, Candela is a 58-residence development currently under construction and scheduled for completion this Spring. More than half the project has already sold, with a strong owner-occupier profile shaping the community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357499]

The loft-style offering, exemplified by the four-bedroom ‘Lustre’ residences, reframes apartment living through a clear division of zones across two levels.&nbsp;

The lower floor is anchored by a large open-plan living and dining area, where a full kitchen with Miele appliances, an island bench, and a walk-in pantry sits directly adjacent to the main living space. Timber flooring runs throughout this level, reinforcing the continuity between kitchen, dining, and lounge, while double-glazed windows improve thermal performance and acoustic comfort. Additionally, and a prominent feature of this apartment is its expansive rear glass wall, which measures approximately 5.4 metres in height and 8.5 metres in width, allowing abundant sunlight to illuminate the residence.

The primary living zone connects to an oversized private terrace, designed to accommodate both daily use and larger gatherings. Its scale allows for outdoor dining, children’s play equipment, and flexible seating arrangements, effectively extending the internal living footprint.&nbsp;The master bedroom is also positioned on this level, with direct terrace access, a walk-in robe, and an oversized ensuite that includes a built-in dressing table, establishing a degree of separation from the upper floor bedrooms.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357502]

Upstairs, the layout shifts to a more private configuration. Three additional bedrooms with built-in robes are arranged around a secondary living area, creating a dedicated zone for children or guests. This level also incorporates a study area suitable for a full-width desk, alongside a central bathroom designed as a combined wet area for bath and shower use. A separate powder room on each level supports functionality for larger households.

The decision to split living across two levels is central to how these residences operate. Rather than relying on a single open-plan arrangement, the design introduces multiple living zones that can be used simultaneously without overlap, supporting families, remote work, and multi-generational living within the same footprint.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=364553]

Interior designer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/kathy-demos">Kathy Demos</a> describes the broader design approach as one shaped by natural light and movement through space, noting that “from the atrium to the front door of your apartment… the sun washes the surfaces with light.” This emphasis on daylight is reinforced across the loft residences, where both levels are designed to maximise natural light in living areas and bedrooms, reducing reliance on artificial lighting.

Sustainability measures are integrated at both the building and apartment level. Candela targets an average 7.5-star NatHERS energy rating, supported by double glazing, passive design principles, and a rooftop solar array that contributes to powering communal areas. Water reuse systems and efficient fixtures are also included to reduce long-term consumption.

These residences sit within a broader development that prioritises shared amenity and connectivity. Residents have access to a rooftop terrace, ground-floor lounge, and on-site café, while Ivanhoe Village’s retail, dining, and transport options at your doorstep. A Walk Score of 90 reflects the practicality of the location, particularly for buyers seeking reduced reliance on cars.

Candela has been designed by architect John Demos in collaboration with interior designer Kathy Demos and developer Salter Brothers, with construction led by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/ironside">Ironside</a>. As Demos explains, the intent was to focus on how spaces are experienced day-to-day: “We design to anticipate the feeling you want to have in your home. It’s more about substance than surface.”

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.

The best of ‘Little Portugal’: A spotlight on Deicorp's The Regent, Petersham apartments

Hawthorn East, located in Melbourne&rsquo;s east, has been one of the city&rsquo;s premier suburbs for generations.

With stately homes lining its leafy streets, independent boutiques and prestigious schools, the suburb offers the fundamentals of a grand, established neighbourhood.

Delivered by Dahua Group, Hawthorn Park delivers the best of Hawthorn East at its doorstep thanks to its prime location on Camberwell Road.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3730 project_image_fid=171605]

The sophisticated mid-rise features 368 residences in one, two and three-bedroom configurations, designed by award-winning architects Rothelowman.

Arriving at the development, residents will be greeted by textured concrete bands that evoke the idea of stone terraces on a hillside.

&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.

The development boasts 2,000sqm of landscaping that features indigenous and exotic plant species, hardy and flowering trees and contrasting foliage.

The development includes high-quality finishes, intelligent floorplans, private park vistas and a wide range of residential options.

[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.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106840 project_image_fid=178475]

Designed by BDA Architecture, each apartment has been meticulously designed to maximise space, light, and liveability, with sophisticated interiors that celebrate attention to detail and premium finishes.

On the heels of surging interstate migration, Palm Beach units have had exponential growth of more than 83 per cent over the past half-decade.
