Repeat buyers are one of the strongest measures of confidence in any apartment development.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/era-newcastle-west-124-126-bull-street-newcastle-west-nsw-2302">ERA</a> in Newcastle West, some purchasers are returning to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gwh">GWH</a> after living at the developer's One Apartments. Their decision to purchase again was driven by the quality of life they found after moving into their first GWH home.

Keith Wilton had spent years living in a house in East Maitland before deciding it was time for a change. Apartment living had always been on his radar, but he was selective about what he wanted.

"I had some boxes I wanted to tick," he says.

Keith points to the open-plan design, generous outdoor areas and considered inclusions as key reasons One Apartments worked for him.

“One of those things was a nice indoor open plan area, but also I wanted a nice outdoor open area that I could entertain on in summer or Christmases or birthdays,” he says.

He also found value in the smaller details, from integrated appliances to shared resident spaces including the pool, cinema and rooftop areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356818]

After comparing several developments, he chose One Apartments because of GWH's longstanding local reputation and his own experience working with the developer on a commercial project more than a decade earlier.

"I knew that they were local, that the quality of the build was going to be up there. I'd looked at other apartment complexes around and close by, and I just knew that here was a better decision location wise."

Today, Keith says the move has completely changed how he experiences Newcastle.

"I enjoy living in this location because it's more of a lifestyle change. That Newcastle city living where you can walk to restaurants and bars and even beaches and parks and even shopping across the road."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356828]

Beyond the location, he says it's the sense of community that has surprised him most.

"Everyone loves living here because they chose to live here, but everyone looks out for each other. It's a real great community feel here."

For Aimee and Lyle Goodman, the journey started almost by chance.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tsioMLcnjas?si=zq-ys3JuWpfa5hFv" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

The couple happened to be having coffee in Newcastle when they noticed the site where One Apartments was about to begin construction.

"We were aware GWH was planning a development," Aimee says. "We made one phone call and things moved pretty quickly after that."

As busy business owners, they initially thought apartment living would simply reduce the maintenance that came with larger homes. Instead, it fundamentally changed how they spent time together.

"We actually catch up more as a family now," Aimee says.

"We've had homes with big yards and lots of space, but everyone ended up in different rooms. Here we'll have dinner together, the kids can play, and we spend far more quality time together."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356829]

Lyle says their confidence came from GWH's reputation within Newcastle's building industry.

"I know people who've worked across different apartment projects, and whenever GWH came up the feedback was always the same. They're rock solid. They're quality."

That confidence only grew throughout the buying process.

"One of the things that really impressed us with GWH was the whole process, was the communication," Lyle says. "It was consistent, it was regular, there was no problem if we had some weird questions, there was no problems in getting answers."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=351104]

Aimee says one moment stood out.

"The project actually finished on time. We realised we needed to hurry up and sell our house because everything was happening exactly when they said it would."

The positive experience at One Apartments ultimately gave all three buyers the confidence to purchase again with GWH, this time at ERA.

Their confidence reflects what many buyers are seeking in today's apartment market. Location remains important, but so too does certainty around delivery, quality and long-term liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356822]

ERA builds on those foundations with 280 one, two and three-bedroom apartments across two landmark towers in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/newcastle-west-nsw-2302">Newcastle West</a>.&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fk-australia">Fender Katsalidis</a>, the project will include more than 2,000 square metres of resident amenities, including a resort-style pool, gym, sauna, private cinema and rooftop entertaining spaces overlooking the harbour and coastline.&nbsp;

The development is also within walking distance of the Newcastle Interchange, Honeysuckle, Darby Street, the harbour foreshore, restaurants, retail and the city’s beaches, continuing the walkable lifestyle that existing GWH buyers say has transformed how they live.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356826]

For Keith, the appeal remains straightforward.

"You feel at home even before you've moved into your home."

For Aimee, the change is measured in time.

“I just felt like I had more time,” she says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=351102]

Construction at ERA is now underway, with more than half of the residences already sold and limited two and three-bedroom apartments remaining in the East Tower release. Priced from $980,000 for two-bedroom residences and $1.46 million for three-bedroom residences, buyers can secure an apartment with a 10 per cent deposit, with premium homes offering ocean views from Level 8 and harbour views from Level 10.

ERA is also backed by Resilience Insurance's 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy, providing protection against structural or waterproofing defects for 10 years after completion. The project is anticipated to be completed in early 2028.

From ONE to ERA: Why buyers are choosing GWH again in Newcastle West

Virgate Property Group is preparing to commence construction of Verdé, its new apartment development in Melbourne's Arts Precinct at Southbank, following a strong run of sales that has seen more than half of the project's 173 apartments secured.

Verdé has attracted a broad mix of first home buyers, owner-occupiers upgrading from nearby inner-city suburbs and investors, with younger owner-occupier couples aged between 28 and 45 accounting for the strongest enquiry. Many are already living in Southbank, South Melbourne, Albert Park, Port Melbourne, South Yarra and the CBD.

"Verdé is located in one of the most desirable pockets of southern Melbourne," Blair Property Group Director Darren Blair, who is managing sales at Verdé, said.

"It's within walking distance of the Arts Centre, Royal Botanic Gardens, Albert Park Lake, and Southbank's restaurants and retail. It's a great lifestyle location with strong amenity and liveability, which made it a very attractive choice for the project."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=372549]

Virgate was already familiar with the precinct, having previously delivered the successful Domain House development in neighbouring South Melbourne. That experience gave the developer confidence to acquire the Coventry Street site and continue expanding its presence in Melbourne's inner south.

"We had been keeping an eye on the site and the broader precinct for a few months before deciding to move forward with the acquisition," Virgate said.

The project was ultimately secured in 2020 following feasibility studies, planning assessments and due diligence, with the brief centred on delivering "a high-quality, considered design that feels both refined and fit for purpose."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=314259]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bruce-henderson-architects">Bruce Henderson Architects</a>, Verdé comprises 173 one, two and three-bedroom apartments priced from $599,000. The architecture is distinguished by a faceted glass façade that responds to both the site's outlook and Melbourne's changing light conditions.

According to Bruce Henderson Architects, the coloured glazing gives the building a distinctive identity while also providing privacy and solar shading, with residences oriented to capture views across the bay, city skyline and surrounding parklands.

Inside, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/designoffice">DesignOffice</a> has created interiors focused on natural light, efficient planning and enduring materials. Apartments feature engineered oak flooring, natural stone benchtops, floor-to-ceiling glazing and SMEG appliances, while a restrained material palette aims to complement the expansive outlooks rather than compete with them.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=372550]

Resident amenity has also been designed around everyday functionality rather than occasional use. Facilities include a concierge-serviced lobby, residents' lounge with fireplace, library and co-working space, gym, terrace garden with barbecue facilities, ground-floor café, and package delivery management.

The project's location continues to be one of its strongest drawcards. Positioned on Coventry Street, Verdé sits within walking distance of the National Gallery of Victoria, Arts Centre Melbourne, Royal Botanic Gardens and Albert Park Lake, while Southbank's dining precinct, Sturt Street trams and the new ANZAC Station are all nearby. The surrounding education catchment also includes Melbourne Grammar, Melbourne Girls Grammar, Mac.Robertson Girls' High School and several major university campuses.

The sales team says buyers have responded particularly well to the combination of location, design quality and long-term liveability.

"They're responding really positively to the quality of the design, premium resident amenities and the uninterrupted views. Many also appreciate the location and how connected it is to everything they need."

The ability to secure stamp duty savings before completion has also been a key factor for purchasers, alongside the opportunity to personalise finishes ahead of settlement.

With construction set to commence soon and more than half the apartments already sold, Verdé enters its next phase as one of the Arts Precinct's more established apartment developments, offering remaining buyers an opportunity to secure a residence before construction advances further. Expected completion is scheduled for late 2027.

Virgate's Verdé Southbank moves toward construction as sales fly past halfway stage

Downsizer-focused apartment development Kooyongkoot in Hawthorn has been recognised at the 2026 Better Future Melbourne Design Awards, taking home Gold and Silver awards in two categories.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kooyongkoot-hawthorn-1-kooyongkoot-road-hawthorn-vic-3122">Kooyongkoot</a>, currently being delivered by developer PQD and designed by Cera Stribley, received Gold in the Interior Design – Proposed category and Silver in the Architecture – Proposed category.

The dual recognition reflects the design approach behind the boutique development on prestigious Kooyongkoot Road, where the focus has been on creating homes for downsizers seeking the space, quality and functionality of a detached house within a low-rise apartment building.

Rather than maximising apartment numbers, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/pqd">PQD</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a> limited the development to just 18 residences, allowing for larger floorplans, greater privacy, generous landscaping and expansive communal spaces.&nbsp;The majority of the apartments also benefit from corner aspects, allowing for dual sources of natural light.

Now around 70 per cent complete and on track for completion in November 2026, Kooyongkoot will comprise a mix of garden residences, ter​race apartments, sub-penthouses, and is crowned by two half-floor penthouses with direct lift access and private rooftop terraces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355297]

The Silver Award for Architecture recognised the way the building responds to its prominent corner position at the ent​rance to Hawthorn's Scotch Hill precinct, one of Melbourne's most established residential neighbourhoods.

Rather than competing with the grand homes that line Kooyongkoot Road, the architectural approach focused on restraint and longevity, using curved brickwork, generous landscaping and carefully considered proportions to integrate with the existing streetscape.

"The form feels fluid and timeless, as though shaped by the landscape itself – architecture that belongs, rather than competes," said Chris Stribley, Co-Founder and Managing Principal of Cera Stribley.

The judging submission also highlighted practical innovations throughout the building, including lift cores servicing only nine homes each, a central landscaped lightcourt designed to bring daylight and ventilation into the building, and fully enclosed private storage rooms with lighting, power and shelving to better accommodate residents transitioning from larger family homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355293]

The Gold Award for Interior Design recognised the project's focus on long-term liveability rather than display-home aesthetics.

According to the awards submission, the interiors were designed from the inside out, prioritising how homes would function over decades of daily use through generous proportions, practical storage, durable natural materials and flexible layouts.

The specification includes natural stone throughout, upgraded acoustic glazing, V-ZUG appliances and fully enclosed storage rooms, alongside an amenity offering focused on wellness, entertainment and everyday convenience.&nbsp;

Residents will have access to a gym and yoga studio, a wellness centre featuring traditional and infrared saunas, a cold therapy shower and treatment room, as well as a residents' lounge and golf simulator/cinema room for entertainment.&nbsp;Kooyongkoot has also considered the everyday convenience of its residents by offering a private carwash and pet wash facilities on site as well as dedicated parcel lockers and oversized fully enclosed storage rooms.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355303]

The project's attention to detail has already resonated with buyers. Earlier this year, Kooyongkoot recorded one of Boroondara's highest apartment sales when an $8 million penthouse was purchased by a Melbourne CEO downsizing from a nearby family home.

"Every detail feels deliberate, from the overall design down to the smallest touches," the purchaser said.

"The level of quality and refinement is exceptional, but what really sold it was how liveable it felt... It felt like a place where everything had been considered, not just a luxury building."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355304]

Sustainability also formed a key part of both award submissions. Kooyongkoot is targeting a minimum 7.5-star NatHERS rating across all residences, supported by passive design principles, high-performance glazing, EV charging infrastructure, water reuse systems and a wellness model focused on lower-energy dry facilities rather than pools and large wet areas.

Located within walking distance of Scotch College, Methodist Ladies' College, Koo​yong Lawn Tennis Club, Aubur​n Village and Camberwell Junction, Kooyongkoot continues to target owner-occupiers looking to remain in Melbourne's inner east without compromising on space or quality. A limited selection of two, three and four-bedroom residences remains available, with prices starting from $1.9 million.

Kooyongkoot wins Gold and Silver at Better Future Melbourne Design Awards

New apartment supply has become increasingly constrained across <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/parramatta-nsw-2150">Parramatta</a> in recent years, with fewer projects progressing through to completion as development conditions have become more challenging.

It makes <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/novm">NOVM</a>'s 2021-completed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/the-lennox-parramatta-12-phillip-street-parramatta-nsw-2150">The Lennox</a> one of the most recently completed residential towers on the Parramatta River, and among the newest apartment developments in Sydney's second CBD.

With the project largely completed before the sharp escalation in construction costs and inflation following the pandemic, The Lennox is now offering pricing that would be difficult to replicate in a comparable new development in Parramatta today, or across much of Western Sydney.

The majority of the 413 apartments at The Lennox sold before and shortly after completion. A limited release of the remaining apartments has recently been brought to market by capital partner <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/equitifund-group">Equitifund</a>, with entry-level pricing from $700,000 and two-bedroom apartments available from under $1 million.

Rising above the Parramatta River at 12 Phillip Street, The Lennox comprises one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, appealing to first home buyers, young professionals, families, downsizers and interstate investors seeking a completed apartment in one of Australia's fastest-growing economic centres.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=372394]

Rather than positioning Parramatta as an alternative to Sydney's CBD, Equitifund believes the city has reached a point where it stands on its own merits.

"Parramatta is no longer simply an alternative to Sydney CBD, it's becoming a destination in its own right," Equitifund Executive Chairman Greg Huxley said.

"The Lennox captures that evolution with a level of quality and amenity that's difficult to match at its price point."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=953]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/marchese-partners">Marchese Partners</a>, the tower responds directly to its riverfront setting through expansive glazing and open-plan layouts that maximise views across the Parramatta River and city skyline. Interiors feature engineered timber flooring, stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances and floor-to-ceiling glazing, while generous balconies extend the living spaces outdoors.

Marchese Partners says the project was conceived to balance high-quality apartment living with practical, long-term functionality, pairing larger, efficient floorplans with amenities more commonly associated with five-star hotels.

That emphasis continues through the resident facilities, which include a 20-metre rooftop swimming pool, fully equipped gym and wellness spaces, full-time concierge, a residents' lounge, function room, private lifts, secure basement parking and rooftop communal areas overlooking the Parramatta River. Ground-floor boardwalk retail and dining further activate the riverfront and integrate the building into the surrounding public realm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=925]

Australian housing and finance group Equitifund has secured the remaining apartments, believing there are few completed apartment opportunities in Parramatta that offer the same combination of location, amenity and pricing.

Equitifund National Sales Director Ben Hamblett says buyers are increasingly recognising that premium apartment living no longer needs to come with Sydney CBD pricing.

"The Lennox is where aspirational living becomes attainable," Hamblett said.

"Wake to river and mountain views, step into Sydney's Second CBD, and arrive home to resort-calibre amenities, all without the harbour price tag."

Hamblett says owner-occupiers are also attracted by the convenience of having Westfield Parramatta, Church Street's dining precinct, Parramatta Park, Riverside Theatres, Western Sydney University and major transport connections all within walking distance.

"At The Lennox, lifestyle is not an afterthought, it is the foundation."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=5374]

The Lennox places residents within walking distance of Parramatta Square, Westfield Parramatta, Church Street Eat Street, Parramatta Station, the ferry wharf, Light Rail, the future Sydney Metro West, Parramatta Park and CommBank Stadium, reinforcing Parramatta's position as one of Australia's most connected metropolitan centres outside Sydney's CBD.

Equitifund says buyers visiting the display suite consistently comment on the quality of the finishes, generous floorplans, river and skyline views, and the walkability of the location. The project has attracted a broad mix of local professionals, upsizers, downsizers, buyers relocating from Sydney's inner suburbs and interstate investors seeking long-term growth opportunities.

That demand aligns with Parramatta's continued evolution as an economic powerhouse. Equitifund Research and Market Insights specialist John Bekiaris says sustained population growth, infrastructure investment and expanding employment opportunities continue to support long-term housing demand across the city.

"Parramatta has evolved from a satellite city into one of Australia's most important economic centres. Population growth, infrastructure investment and employment are all supporting sustained long-term housing demand."

The apartment price gap drawing Sydney buyers west

A luxury beachfront apartment at Rainbow Bay has more than doubled in value since it sold off the plan six years ago, setting a new local apartment record in the process.

The three-bedroom apartment in the Flow development on Petrie Street, the first of four new projects locally by Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Projects, has sold for $7.4 million, after originally selling for $3.27 million when the project launched in 2020.

The seventh-floor apartment, comprising 187 sqm of internal living space and a 54 sqm balcony overlooking Froggies Beach and Snapper Rocks, was purchased by a local family.

The transaction was negotiated by Pezet Matheson director Kerry Pezet and equates to more than $30,000 per sqm.

Pezet said the sale reflected the limited opportunities to buy into the boutique beachfront development.

"The sale highlights the rarity of opportunities within the boutique beachfront development, where residences seldom become available," Pezet said.

"Flow is one of the Gold Coast's most tightly held buildings. Buyers from our database move quickly when residences become available, and achieving an off-market sale at $7.4 million demonstrates the depth of demand for property of this calibre."

<img alt="Flow" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c585b206-2130-4eee-a50c-3f27c51a7c70" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-06%20at%208.33.25%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=m3pHRDV62Y3fvN.XQuQHq.52ilTWpRLf" />

Flow was the first of four luxury apartment developments delivered by Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Projects at Rainbow Bay and was completed in 2023.

Positioned on the beachfront overlooking Snapper Rocks, the residence includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a powder room and views stretching north along the coastline towards Surfers Paradise.

Pezet Matheson Residential principal Mitchell Lambert said buyers continued to prioritise quality beachfront apartments in tightly held locations.

"Flow Residences offers a rare combination of elevated beachfront positioning, architectural excellence, comprehensive resident amenity and premium finishes, which is exactly what discerning purchasers are seeking," Lambert said.

"The transaction further reinforces Rainbow Bay's reputation as one of Australia's premier coastal lifestyle destinations, where limited supply and growing demand continue to support strong market performance."

Pezet Matheson originally marketed and sold out Flow off the plan, making the latest transaction a return to one of the project's original buyers.

Paul Gedoun is selling his third project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/radia-rainbow-bay-271-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Radia Rainbow Bay</a>, after recently completing, and selling out, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/esprit-217-227-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Esprit</a>.

New Development

<html><body>
Verre in Preston, in Melbourne’s north, is a new development by Wolf &amp; Lamb on a site steeped in history.

Set for completion in early 2022, the project comprises 57 one, two and three-bedroom apartments designed by Melbourne-based architecture studio, Chamberlain Architects.

Urban recently spoke with Wolf &amp; Lamb to discuss the luxury project.

MK: What are the highlights of Verre and what has attracted buyers to the project?

W&amp;L: The primary things buyers like about Verre are the look and appearance of the building, The floorplans, the fixtures and finishes and the price. Other things they love about the project is the size of it and the view to the East or West.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7275]

MK: What was the development’s design brief for Chamberlain Architects?

W&amp;L: The brief to the architect was to create a landmark building that heralds a new era for this part of Plenty Road. It was important for us to develop the site for the long term, and we wanted a building that would stand the test of time, and provide a positive impact on the area.

We were also aware of the fantastic views to the east and the south and wanted a building that took advantage of this. The brief for the apartments was that they be generous in size and considered in the way the space was used.

<a href="/new-apartments/glass-haus-preston-296-plenty-road-preston-vic-3072"><img alt="" height="990" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/verre_3.jpg" width="1800"></a>

We are delighted with what the team at Chamberlain Architects have been able to deliver.

MK: What is Verre’s relationship with glass and how has this manifested in the building’s design?

W&amp;L: 296 Plenty Road was the location of a family-owned and operated glassworks factory for over 80 years. The factory — ‘Peerless Glass’ became synonymous with glass innovation in Melbourne. It was one of the first local manufacturers to offer glass products which utilised sandblasting and bending techniques.

<a href="/new-apartments/glass-haus-preston-296-plenty-road-preston-vic-3072"><img alt="" height="1000" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/verre_2.jpg" width="1800"></a>

To this very day; Peerless Glass’ legacy can still be found all around Melbourne. From residential applications such as sandblasted glass doors (popular for houses built in the 1950s) to public establishments such as yacht clubs and even large department stores such as Myer.

The glassworks ceased operations long ago, but ownership of the building has remained with the original family — spanning multiple generations. The family is proud to present Verre. An evolution of the original glassworks — a fitting homage to its past and in maintaining a connection and nod to the heritage of the original glass works we are offering each apartment buyer a bespoke, hand-blown glass feature pendant light upgrade by Melbourne-based glass designer; Mark Douglass. An organic statement piece it sits effortlessly alone and great as a cluster. This offer is exclusively for Verre buyers.

<a href="/new-apartments/glass-haus-preston-296-plenty-road-preston-vic-3072"><img alt="" height="1079" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/verre_4.jpg" width="1800"></a>

MK: Where have buyers come from, and who is the development appealing to?

W&amp;L: The majority of the buyers are locals who have been renting in the area.  A fair number of these have been first home buyers but we have had a couple of downsizers and upsizers too.

 

MK: Are there any other residential developments in the pipeline?

W&amp;L: Currently we are in the early stages of securing another site in Preston and St Kilda
</body></html>

Set for completion in early 2022, the project comprises 57 apartments designed by Melbourne-based architecture studio Chamberlain Architects.

What buyers need to know about Verre in Preston: Urban chats with developer Wolf & Lamb

The recently completed Bloom Arncliffe, delivered by developer Wingate, offers one, two and three bedroom ready-to-move-in&nbsp;apartments, perfect for the eager first-time owner, the smart investor and the dynamic urban-dweller.

Dispersed over seven state-of-the-art buildings designed by Stephen Bower Architects,&nbsp;ranging from standard apartments to penthouses, every Bloom residence holds sweeping city views.

Placed in a prime position between the city and the coast, Bloom residents enjoy the benefits of being close to Sydney&rsquo;s southern beaches, as well as the Illawarra line&rsquo;s direct link to the CBD, the Inner West and Bondi.&nbsp;

The Arncliffe train station is just a 10 minute walk from the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6201]

Constructed by Richard Crookes Constructions, the 318 residences benefit greatly from their location with a heaping helping of convenient amenities just a stroll away.

Among Bloom Arncliffe&rsquo;s on-site amenities are a ground-floor marketplace with restaurants and retailers, so that coffee, food and other simple luxuries are only ever a moment away.

Beyond the bottom floor&nbsp;it also has the convenience of being near restaurants, cafes, markets and plenty of schools and early learning&nbsp;facilities.

<a href="/buildings/bloom-arncliffe-213-princes-highway-arncliffe"><img alt="" height="815" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/bloom_arncliffe_station.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

Eateries nearby include the&nbsp;Rocksia Hotel,&nbsp;Nineteen43 Cafe,&nbsp;Espresso Haus and the Boschetto Cafe.

Arncliffe&#39;s brand new community centre helps brings the active neighbourhood together with classes, resources, sports facilities and social activities.

Or exercise outside&nbsp;at the extremely walkable Gardiner Park or New Arncliffe Park.

<a href="/buildings/bloom-arncliffe-213-princes-highway-arncliffe" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/bloom.jpg" /></a>

The latest development from Hallmarc, Vista Apartments, delivers an attractive new residence to owner-occupiers looking for an apartment in Melbourne&rsquo;s Bayside.

With more than 93 per cent of the sold apartments belonging to owner-occupiers, it&rsquo;s no question that the Highett project is favourable among this group.

&ldquo;At Vista, we have focused the design specifically to the owner-occupier market which has been very well received&rdquo;, Hallmarc&rsquo;s CEO Michael Loccisano said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3303]

The project is the second stage of the Kingston Park master-planned community delivered by Hallmarc, combining convenience with comfort.

Architecturally designed, the project offers a range of floorplans and sizes across its 154 two-bedroom residences.

&ldquo;Apartment living requires more thought as to how it&#39;s configured and we&rsquo;ve incorporated just that - larger layouts, dedicated home office areas and open plan living, creating bright and welcoming spaces&rdquo;, said Loccisano.

Designed with timber flooring, plenty of storage and European appliances, the project boasts contemporary features while &ldquo;retaining an enviable cosiness&rdquo;, the project marketing reads.

Residents can also make use of numerous resort-style amenities, including a residents-only indoor heated pool, fully-equipped gym and exclusive outdoor communal spaces.

Open, green spaces are said to add value to any new development, with Sir William Fry Reserve at your doorstep and manicured gardens, large courtyards and informal outdoor seating, Vista has it all.

&ldquo;Beyond Vista is the wonderful suburb of Highett where you have everything at your doorstep. It is a bustling area with a strong sense of community and so much to offer.&rdquo; Loccisano told Urban.

The bustling Highett and adjoining Bayside suburbs offer a strong sense of community and an abundance of lifestyle amenities.

Residents at Vista will have convenient access to the beach, extensive parklands, caf&eacute;s, bars and fitness options.

Located in Melbourne’s Preston, Verre is the latest offering from Wolf&amp;Lamb. Urban takes a look at eight reasons why you should secure a residence in the luxury complex today. 
 

1. The building is steeped in history

Located at 296 Plenty Road, Verre was originally the location of a family-owned and operated glassworks, Peerless Glass. Paying homage to its past, the development is named after the French word for glass.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2021-02-02_at_5.51.41_pm.png" rel="gallery-all" title="Peerless Glass Sales, c.1987. Image: Wolf&amp;Lamb"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="392" src="/s3/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2021-02-02_at_5.51.41_pm.png?itok=_2lO-R6F" title="Peerless Glass Sales, c.1987. Image: Wolf&amp;Lamb" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Peerless Glass Sales, c.1987. Image: Wolf&amp;Lamb</figcaption></figure>Peerless Glass was “one of the first local manufacturers to offer glass products which utilised sandblasting and blending techniques”, the project marketing reads. 
 

2. Delivered under the guidance of the original family

The ownership of the building remained with the original family, spanning multiple generations. Today, Verre offers a new chapter for future generations, delivering 57 residences under the guidance of the original family’s grandson. 
 

3. Own a bespoke Mark Douglass hand-blown glass light pendant

Maintaining the connection to high-quality glassworks, each apartment sale at Verre will include a bespoke hand-blown glass creation, produced by Melbourne-based glass designer, Mark Douglass.

The ‘Melbourne Glassworks’ owner, who has been creating glasswork since 1989, will construct a glass light pendant that will sit as the statement piece of every Verre residence.

 

4. Designed by Chamberlain Architects

With architecture by Chamberlain Architects, the development provides contemporary style and sleek apartment design.

<a href="/new-apartments/glass-haus-preston-296-plenty-road-preston-vic-3072"><img alt="" height="1842" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/296-plenty-road-preston-e51de2cb8649aac9e68394422f52e2db.png" width="3356"></a>

Verre homes are steeped in high-quality fittings, including large floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, balconies and spacious bedrooms with built-in wardrobes.

Chamberlain’s past projects include Northcote’s Merri Green and Parkdale’s Topaz.

 

5. Ideal inner-north location

Situated in the heart of Preston, Verre is designed with a focus on owner-occupiers and puts residents within minutes from retail, transport and lifestyle activities.

Known for its abundance of restaurants and bars, and in close proximity to the Melbourne CBD, Preston is northside Melbourne at its finest.

Nearby lifestyle offerings include Merri Creek trail and St. Georges Road bike trail. 
 

6. The rooftop terraces

The architecturally-designed residences are an entertainers’ delight. Large balconies connect the living room to the outdoors and a rooftop terrace offers a space to host friends or relax against the Melbourne city skyline.

<a href="/new-apartments/glass-haus-preston-296-plenty-road-preston-vic-3072"><img alt="" height="1234" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/roofftop.jpg" width="2158"></a>

7. Developed by Wolf&amp;Lamb

Set for completion in early 2022, Verre is the latest project delivered by development firm Wolf&amp;Lamb.

Expressing contemporary living through innovative design, generous layouts and utility, Wolf&amp;Lamb aims to create enduring designs, each embued with their own identity and sense of place.

 8. HomeBuilder-qualifying

Certain residences at Verre qualify for the Victorian Government’s various off-the-plan incentives, including the HomeBuilder grant, first home owners grant and the first home loan deposit scheme.

There has never been a better time to buy a home.

Delivered by Blueprint Projects, TWO51 boasts a collection of 25 apartments over seven levels, including 18 serviced apartments and a top-floor penthouse.

Marketed to second-home buyers and downsizers, the residences are likely to house high net worth individuals seeking modern living amongst Richmond’s rich heritage.

Designed by Watson Young Architects, the project includes ground floor retail space and a grand lobby, rich with gold detailing and art deco opulence.

Every dwelling offers its own luxury features, with winter garden-style terraces included in apartments on levels one and two, and spacious terraces increasing in size across the remaining residences as the façade tiers back off Richmond’s bustling Swan Street.

“The combination of brickwork and exposed steel on the lower levels reflects the industrial culture of this inner Melbourne suburb,” Watson Young associate Tas Tzoulis said. “While the upper levels boldly utilise a collection of more lavish and refined materials to create an aesthetically pleasing juxtaposition of styles.”

The interiors feature spacious, open-plan layouts with stone benchtops, panelled joinery and an abundance of natural light, carefully designed in-house by Watson Young’s interior division.

<a href="/buildings/two51-on-swan-245-251-swan-street-richmond"><img alt="" height="4616" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/two51-on-swan-245-251-swan-street-richmond-2a910f1ec2ca946514093404753ee8ab.jpg" width="6000"></a>

TWO51 on Swan: Architect-designed homes in Melbourne’s Richmond

The Brisbane-based luxury apartment developer Spyre Group has officially lodged plans&nbsp;for a fourth high end residential beachfront project on the Gold Coast.

They&#39;ll be converting the&nbsp;Komune Resort at Coolangatta in to a 12 level residential development they&#39;ve called Cala Dei Residences.

Designed by&nbsp;bureau^proberts, the development will have a total of 31 apartments.

Spyre Group director Andrew Malouf said the company had taken a considered approach to developing the site.

&ldquo;The site was originally intended for a 27-storey development, but we have significantly reduced this footprint. Instead, we propose to create luxury residences that complement the world class surfing reserve status of the southern Gold Coast beaches,&rdquo; said Mr Malouf.

Mr Malouf says&nbsp;the Komune property was ideal because it is a rare north-facing site.

<img alt="" height="800" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/kommune_coolangatta.jpg" width="1200" />

&ldquo;We have taken a lower density approach than the original proposal to give our newest project a level of sophistication that we know the market appreciates.

&ldquo;Our plan is to create an exclusive, boutique development that will set itself apart from other buildings in the area.&rdquo;

Between levels one and nine there will be 18 two bedroom apartments and nine three bedders. Level 10 will home two near 200 sqm sub penthouses and level 11 will have two penthouses, both with three bedrooms and their own private rooftop crowning the block.

<a href="/buildings/cala-dei-residences-144-marine-parade-coolangatta"><img alt="" height="662" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/144_marine_parade_coolangatta_3_0.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

The two bedroom apartments span around 80 sqm of internal living space, with three bedroom apartments spanning over 220 sqm.

The ground level will feature&nbsp;576 sqm of recreational space, designed by Cusp Landscape Architecture which will include&nbsp;a communal resort area with plunge pools.

<a href="/buildings/cala-dei-residences-144-marine-parade-coolangatta"><img alt="" height="678" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/144_marine_parade_coolangatta_4_0.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

Spyre Group bought the 862 sqm Marine Parade&nbsp;site from a company directed by Komune Resort owner Anthony Cannon and Fitness First founder Tony de Leede.

It&rsquo;s not the first time Spyre Group has chosen to redevelop a site already occupied by an existing multi-level building.

The company recently demolished the eight-storey Aspect apartment building, developed by Mimi McPherson on the Esplanade at Burleigh Heads, to start construction on its huge successful Natura project. Apartments range&nbsp;in price from $1.6 million to $3.5 million.

After spending the better part of a decade focusing on developments in Brisbane, Mr Malouf sees the Gold Coast market shaping up as a long-term proposition for the company.

&ldquo;The challenge always starts with securing the right site, and we&rsquo;ve been fortunate on the Gold Coast over the past few years targeting only the best beachfront sites in each area, especially with our latest acquisition at Coolangatta,&rdquo; he said.

&nbsp;&ldquo;The Gold Coast&rsquo;s natural environment may be what attracts people in the first place but creating luxury residences at this level provides a reason for many to stay.

&ldquo;The market is well supported by locals and increasingly by interstate buyers, and remarkably we see that trend continuing for some time.&rdquo;

Its debut project, the $79 million Elysian Broadbeach, has been completed with just two of the 61 apartments remaining for sale. The follow-up project, Maya at Kirra Beach, has just one apartment left from 16, while Natura also has only two of the 33 apartments offered to the market.

<h2>Other developments for sale on the Gold Coast</h2>

Shoreline, Surfers Paradise

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22057]

Shoreline is the latest Surfers Paradise tower to be created by Marquee Development Partners.

The boutique 27 apartment development across 17 levels offers residents a luxury unseen in the between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach for a number of years.

Miles Residences, Kirra Beach

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27575]

The Miles Residences Kirra Point will be one of Kirra Point&#39;s most impressive towers when it&#39;s completed in 2023.

The development of 118 apartments is part of the redevelopment of the&nbsp;Kirra Beach&nbsp;Hotel. The brains behind the operation is the family-ran KTQ Group, led by Peggy Flannery, who are behind the award-winning Elements of Byron Bay.

Designed by bureau^proberts, the development will have a total of 31 apartments across 12 levels

First home buyers are choosing to secure a home in Clayton South’s Aster Apartments, as the developer, Cedar Woods, scraps stamp duty on the already affordable homes.

The project, which already qualifies for the Federal Government’s $15,000 HomeBuilder grant until March 31, is expected to become popular with buyers who may not have been able to get their foot in the door otherwise.

“The current low interest rates and government incentives mean that for many first home buyers, it is cheaper to own than to rent”, said Cedar Woods COO Patrick Archer.

“Right now, first home buyers should be looking to take advantage of all the government grants and concessions while they can.”

Designed by DKO Architecture, the residential development is the final release in the successful master-planned community, Jackson Green.

With one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments priced from $396,800, the project offers opportunities for buyers who may otherwise be priced out of the suburb.

Boasting timeless design and intuitive, modern floorplans, each apartment in Aster includes engineered timber flooring, floor-to-ceiling joinery and open-plan living.

<a href="/buildings/aster-apartments-456-haughton-road-clayton-south"><img alt="" height="631" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/secondary-images-2-aster-1000px-wide_1.jpg" width="1000"></a>

Private courtyards and balconies deliver social spaces for entertaining, while electric car charging facilities and water reuse systems reduce the entire neighbourhood’s carbon footprint.

Aster Apartments is close to public transport, with existing amenity such as supermarkets and schools close by, including Monash University and Monash Medical Centre.
