<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/draycon">Draycon Building</a> is nearing completion of Boutique Chevron Island, a 42-apartment development on the northern end of Chevron Island at 17–19 Parneno Street, with a limited-time offer of fully furnished apartments available.

Now more than 90 per cent complete, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/boutique-chevron-island-17-19-parneno-chevron-island-qld-4217">Boutique</a> has been shaped by one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held island addresses, where riverfront outlooks and walkable access to Surfers Paradise converge.

For Draycon Building Managing Director Howard Dabit, the appeal of the site was immediate.

“I knew it was a good site as soon as I saw it,” Dabit said.

“The position and location on the north end of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>, the way the river swirls around the site basically from the north to the east, it feels like the site is surrounded by the water. The height that we’ve got and the aspect looking north is beautiful. Eighty per cent of the apartments are looking north so they get that drenching sunlight coming in.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360922]

That northern orientation places the development within a stretch of Chevron Island defined by open river aspects and skyline views, while remaining embedded in the suburb’s established village setting.

Chevron Island has increasingly drawn owner-occupiers seeking centrality without the intensity of high-rise beachfront living. Positioned at the geographical centre of the Gold Coast, the island offers direct access to both the beach and key cultural infrastructure while retaining a neighbourhood-scale character.

Connected by bridge to Surfers Paradise, Chevron Island offers walkable access to beaches, riverfront parklands and a revitalised foreshore boulevard animated by walkers and cyclists throughout the day. The Pacific Ocean is only minutes away, reinforcing the suburb’s dual river-and-surf identity.

At the same time, Thomas Drive forms the spine of the island’s village life, delivering cafés, wine bars, casual dining and everyday services within easy reach. Independent grocers, wellness operators and neighbourhood retailers contribute to a community atmosphere that remains distinct from the vertical scale of the beachfront.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360915]

In the opposite direction, the Green Bridge links directly to HOTA – Home of the Arts – placing galleries, performance venues and parklands within walking distance. Weekly markets and major exhibitions draw visitors from across the region, while residents return to a quieter residential pocket at day’s end.

Public transport, including nearby bus routes and the G:link light rail corridor along the coastal spine, strengthens connectivity north and south. Griffith University, the Gold Coast University Hospital precinct and established private schools such as The Southport School are all within a short drive.

Ongoing investment across Surfers Paradise, HOTA and the broader Southport corridor has elevated amenity while preserving Chevron Island’s comparatively low-rise residential character. It is this balance, walkable village atmosphere paired with metropolitan-scale infrastructure, that continues to differentiate the suburb from higher-density beachfront precincts.

Boutique comprises just 42 residences, designed to maximise river and skyline outlooks within this tightly held island setting.

Boutique Chevron Island is slated for completion in April 2026, with prices starting from $1,220,000.

Draycon Building’s Boutique Chevron Island places 42 residences at the heart of the Gold Coast

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> has secured planning approval for a $300 million residential development in Lindfield, marking the company’s second project on Sydney’s North Shore and its first on the Upper North Shore.

Located on Beaconsfield Parade and designed by DKO Architecture, the state significant development comprises three buildings of up to 10 storeys and will include 399 residences, including 59 affordable homes and 40 adaptable homes.

Residences will range in size from one, two and three bedrooms, with two-bedroom apartments accounting for over 60 per cent of the product make-up. Residents will have access to a broad suite of amenities, including a wellness area, indoor and outdoor recreational spaces, a pool, a gym, a community room and a golf simulator.

In line with Deicorp’s long-standing focus on creating transit-oriented communities, the project is located just 260 metres from the Lindfield Train Station, reinforcing its role in delivering well-connected housing close to established infrastructure, retail and local services.

The inclusion of affordable and adaptable housing supports greater diversity within the local market, while the mix of apartment types responds to demand from downsizers, young professionals and families seeking access to the Upper North Shore.

Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri OAM said the approval represents an important milestone for both the company and the suburb

“This approval allows us to deliver well-designed homes in a location that is already supported by strong transport and community infrastructure," Deiri said.

"Our focus is on creating places that integrate into their surroundings and provide long-term value for residents, and the broader Lindfield community. Being within walking distance of the station ensures this project supports sustainable growth in the right locations."

Across its portfolio, Deicorp currently has 4,703 apartments under construction, playing a leading role in shaping connected, liveable communities across Sydney.

Its expanding portfolio of Metro-linked developments includes Tallawong Village, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-five-dock-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> in Five Dock, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hyde-metropolitan-sydney-133-141-liverpool-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Hyde Metropolitan</a> in Sydney CBD, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/falcon-alexander-crows-nest-8-alexander-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Falcon &amp; Alexander</a> in Crows Nest and Showground Village, Castle Hill.

Deicorp purchased the Beaconsfield Paradise site last year. Construction is scheduled to commence in Q2 of 2026 and will be completed in 2029.

In a joint venture with The Trump Organization, Australia developer Altus Property Group has announced plans to bring a Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower to the Gold Coast, marking the first Trump-branded project in Australia.

"Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast is our first official project in Australia and reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering world-class luxury experiences in iconic locations around the world," Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, said.

"This development exemplifies the Trump brand’s dedication to quality, sophistication, and unmatched service, and we are thrilled to bring this vision to the vibrant Gold Coast community."

The 91-storey building, which will become the tallest in Australia at 335 metres, will feature a&nbsp;285-room luxury hotel bearing the trademark Trump logo. It will also include 272 luxury residential apartments, a three-level podium with an exclusive Beach Club, and over 3,400 sqm of premium commercial, retail, and dining space, revitalizing the central Surfers Paradise precinct.

“Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast will be a truly unique offering in the Australian market, bringing the prestige and allure of a world-class luxury brand,"&nbsp;Altus founder and chief executive David Young said.

"Altus Property Group is proud of its track record in delivering landmark developments across Australia, and our expertise ensures this project will be an outstanding success."

Trump Hotel heads for the Gold Coast to become Australia's tallest building

More than a century after the Corrimal Coke Works first opened in 1912, the industrial landmark that helped shape the suburb is being reinterpreted as a walkable residential neighbourhood, with Stage One of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-works-stage-one-27-railway-street-corrimal-nsw-2518">The Works</a> now underway at 27 Railway Street.

For 102 years, the site was central to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/corrimal-nsw-2518">Corrimal</a>’s economic and social identity before operations ceased in 2014. Rather than erasing that legacy, developer Legacy Property has embedded it into the masterplan, retaining and reinterpreting elements such as the iconic 1912 brick chimney and sections of the original C1 Coke Oven Battery, alongside the adaptive reuse of the former powerhouse building.

Stage One will introduce 181 apartments across low-rise buildings, offering predominantly two and three-bedroom residences with completion targeted for mid-2027. The scale and configuration reflect a deliberate focus on owner-occupiers, targeting those seeking a lower-maintenance home in a prime location within the northern suburbs of Wollongong.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359833]

Apartments have been designed to maximise natural light and cross-ventilation, with floor-to-ceiling glazing extending living areas onto generous balconies. Engineered timber flooring, induction cooktops and 900mm ovens in larger residences support everyday functionality, while two interior palettes allow buyers to tailor finishes to their preferences. The material selection draws on a restrained coastal language, intended to connect homes to their surroundings rather than compete with them.

The Works forms part of a broader 18-hectare masterplan that will ultimately deliver around 550 dwellings, new parks, and a heritage precinct celebrating the site’s past. More than seven hectares are dedicated to open space, including Southern Park and a Village Green with community gardens and recreation areas. The creek corridor is being rehabilitated with 150,000 native plantings, restoring biodiversity to the site and softening landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359841]

Positioned adjacent to Corrimal Station and within walking distance of Corrimal Town Centre, the precinct places daily essentials, rail connections and local retail within easy reach. Wollongong CBD, including the hospital, university and entertainment venues, sits approximately 6.5 kilometres to the south.

For buyers more familiar with North Wollongong, Corrimal offers a different proposition: a well-established coastal suburb framed by beaches to the east and the escarpment to the west, with a strong sense of local identity shaped in part by the former Coke Works. The Works seeks to reinforce that identity by creating a connected, walkable neighbourhood between coast and escarpment, rather than a standalone apartment complex.

Sustainability underpins the development approach. The Works is targeting Wollongong’s first 5-Star Green Star-rated community, with water-sensitive urban design, recycled materials and energy-efficient buildings integrated across the masterplan. For residents, these measures provide not only environmental benefits but also reduced operational costs and future resilience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359842]

With construction commenced and display materials available to view, prospective buyers can now engage more directly with the project’s vision, reviewing floorplans, material selections and the broader masterplan in detail. For many local homeowners weighing a move, the opportunity to experience how heritage, landscape and contemporary design intersect may help bridge the gap between familiarity and the next chapter.

As Stage One progresses toward its mid-2027 completion, The Works represents a significant chapter in Corrimal’s evolution, transforming a site that once powered local industry into a walkable residential precinct designed for its next generation of residents.

When it comes to developing in Melb​ourne's Bayside region, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lowe-living">Lowe Living</a> knows exactly what buyers want.

With a longstanding presence in the area and a string of sell-out projects, Lowe Living consistently delivers developments that are as sought-after as their predecessors.

Their latest instalment is in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-vic-3188">Hampton</a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-east-vic-3188">&nbsp;East,</a> the same postcode where they have previously delivered Hampton Hill and Oceano. The developer-builder recently commenced construction on its newest project,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marella-hampton-31-35-alicia-street-hampton-east-vic-3188">Marella</a>, a collection of 32 apartments just five minutes from the beach.

Site acquisition is paramount to success. Lowe Living rarely brings a building to market that isn’t within walking distance of essential amenities, whether it be the beach, a prominent retail strip, or a train station. Marella is no exception, located at its Alicia Street address, less than a kilometre from the retail heart of Hampton Street and Hampton Station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358495]

Equally important to Lowe Living is the architecture.

For Marella, they appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, who explains that the architectural vision was to create a contemporary reinterpretation of the Californian bungalow, a style that’s iconic to Hampton’s heritage.

"By borrowing, abstracting, and reinterpreting elements of this quintessential style, such as strong datum lines, articulated columns, exposed structures, and roof tiles, our design strikes a balance between modernity and familiarity," says Cera Stribley.

"This approach ensures that the development is not only visually appealing but also contextually sensitive, resonating with Hampton's existing architectural landscape."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358499]

The building features terracotta brick, soft cream masonry, and exposed metal detailing, giving it a tactile presence that is intended to weather gently over time.

Internally, the focus on lasting quality continues, with two and three-bedroom residences anchored by sculptural stone kitchen islands, natural light, and clearly defined transitions between living, dining, and outdoor spaces.

The layouts have been carefully designed. Open-plan zones extend to private balconies, with light-filled interiors and generous kitchen proportions, supported by Miele wall ovens, induction cooktops, and integrated fridge-freezers. These are not small apartments rebranded as luxury; they have been designed at scale, with ample storage, hotel-style entry access, and secure basement parking provided as standard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358492]

At the uppermost level, Marella’s Signature Collection penthouses offer city or bay views, large entertaining terraces (some with outdoor spas), and elevated finishes, including fully wrapped stone kitchen benches and a Liebherr wine fridge.

Flexible room arrangements allow for a fourth bedroom or secondary living space, sought-after by both empty nesters who want the space when family visits and families with older children.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358498]

A residents’ lounge on the ground floor reinforces the project’s small-community feel. With a fireplace, private dining area, and adjoining terrace, it’s one of several shared spaces that balance amenity with privacy and scale.

Construction has commenced, with completion expected in early 2027.

Pellicano

The national property developer, Pellicano, are set to bring something different to the affluent Brisbane riverside suburb, Kangaroo Point.

They're seeking to create Story House, a development of 86 apartments,&nbsp;on the more affordable end of the scale than what Kangaroo Point is generally&nbsp;used to.

There will be a mix of studio, one, and two-bedroom apartments across the nine-level building designed by DBI Architecture, which will be crowned with an extensive rooftop amenity level.

<a href="/new-apartments/kangaroo-point-qld-4169">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

That will home a lap pool with a pool deck and spa, a yoga lawn, a dining and barbecue area, and an outdoor gym. 85 per cent of the building's roof top&nbsp;is disposed as recreation areas and gardens, landscape architect RPG Group advise on the development submission.

They described Story House as "mid-century modern meets sophistication in the heart of Woolloongabba and wider area of Kangaroo Point."

<a href="/new-apartments/kangaroo-point-qld-4169">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

The Pellicano team identified the area as having considerable growth potential well before the Olympics was announced for Brisbane in 2032. They bought two adjoining 708 sqm Duke Street sites for a combined 1,418 sqm block in 2019 for around $2,875,000 combined.

The site is currently vacant, with the existing character house at 21 Duke Street having been relocated, and the house at 65 Linton Street&nbsp;demolished.

A stone's throw from The Gabba but in the Kangaroo Point postcode, Story House was designed by DBI who said the building and internal use is broken down to create a base form that scales to the street; a three-story expression that is typical in scale to the historical locality.

"The building offers balconies expressed to offer an overt sub- tropical, outdoor living experience," DBI advised.

"The balconies become a vibrant &amp; playful series of sculptural forms that humanize the suburban building to the street.

"The articulated facade allows for desired breeze flow through all habitable spaces."

Pellicano Group are celebrating reaching the completion milestone of their latest $55 million residential development, Alke. 

Situated in Victoria's south-eastern suburb of Oakleigh, the 83-apartment building features a famously-Melbourne red brick facade, with a central laneway which doubles as a resident communal courtyard.

<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/alke_residents_terrace_l1.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Alke.

<figcaption>Alke.

As a family business who have been operating since 1969, the development also holds some sentimental value, with the Pellicano family launching their very first project not far from the brand new Alke residences.

Pellicano Managing Director, Nando Pellicano, explains that interest in the development has remained strong throughout the year, and even more so now that the development is complete. 

<blockquote>
"All the residents our team have been speaking to are looking forward to their new lives at Alke – some were looking for something smaller with a move from the local family home, others were embarking on the first step of home ownership, while some were seeking a residential investment opportunity."
</blockquote>

Settlement has now commenced, with several residents currently occupying their new homes.

<div class="column">
Diversified property group Pellicano has expedited the next stage of construction at its Parkwest Estate in Bundamba due to strong sales, while announcing the commencement of construction of the next stage at Connexion Industrial Park in Darra, following leasing success in recent months.
Due to the final office/warehouse space selling out at Parkwest Estate, Pellicano will commence the next stage of the project 12 months ahead of schedule, which will deliver additional office warehouse units.
Meanwhile at Connexion, construction has commenced on a major refurbishment of a freestanding 10,600 sqm office/warehouse, and four new spec office/warehouses totalling 3,000 sqm.
Pellicano was buoyed by a deal struck at Connexion during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a 7,500 sqm site being leased out to MACH1 Logistics in late March, spurring the company to prioritise the works on both sites.
Pellicano managing director Nando Pellicano believes recent activity at these projects, as well as its Industrial activity in Melbourne, is an early sign of how well the Industrial sector is holding up across the property market.
“We saw many companies facing challenges during lockdowns, restrictions and work-from- home guidelines, but we’ve still been able to put clients into new facilities, as the push to e- commerce and on-line expediates.
“Well-located industrial space has proven popular at a time where more and more consumers turn to shopping online.
“I think the popularity of these sites is driven in part by the flexibility we give our clients across the board – we work with them to ensure their facility is exactly what they need, and that they can make any necessary tweaks to ensure it’s a long-term prospect,” he said.
Works at the office/warehouse site at Connexion Industrial Park are due for completion in two stages, with the 10,600 sqm refurbishment available to occupy from fourth quarter of 2020, and the four spec units from early 2021, while the next stage of construction at Bundamba is due to commence in the coming months once detailed designs are finalised.
Pellicano’s current activity will take its total Industrial Holdings to over 600,000 sqm by the end of year with a vacancy rate of under 2.5 per cent.

Pelicano announces construction across two Queensland projects

<html><body>
Diversified property group Pellicano has announced its strongest quarterly results on record.
The results are on the back of securing $29 million in pre-commitment deals at Innovation Park, Dandenong South - a joint venture business park between Pellicano &amp; ISPT.
The park incorporates 20,000 square metres of custom-built facilities for a mix of industries including construction supplies, imports and distribution, medical products and transport.
Businesses who have taken up deals include Defries, Hopper Transport, Exclusive Tyres and ICCONS.
The new deals will take Pellicano’s Industrial portfolio to 550,000 square metres under ownership, with a vacancy rate of 2.9%.
The industrial assets are forecast to outperform the broader commercial property market over the next several year, a recent Moody's report suggests.
Global real estate agency JLL recently suggested that as much as $21 billion of investor capital is looking for a home in Australia's industrial market.
Pellicano Managing Director, Renato Pellicano, said the results are a sign of the strength of the industrial market.
Pellicano, said this level of pre-lease volume over a single quarter was unprecedented.
“This is the strongest demand for industrial stock Pellicano has seen in the last decade,” said Pellicano.
“As land values continue to rise and available stock levels diminish, demand is outstripping supply. Accordingly, we expect to see industrial rents rise 10-15% over the next three years.
“Our goal has always been to maintain healthy occupier-owner relationships across our portfolio and as a family-owned business, these relationships have been a key factor in our success.”
Philip Rose, Managing Director of new client, ICCONS said the philosophy impacted his decision to make a pre-lease commitment at Innovation Park.
“We appreciated the open and collaborative communication between senior stakeholders at Pellicano, which led to an efficient and timely outcome,” said Rose.

In 2016, Apartments.com.au announced the <a href="/news/ballarats-historic-station-precinct-set-to-be-transformed">Ballarat Station transformation</a> – today, the development has already completed the first phase of construction and is set to embark on stage two, heading towards its slated completion date of 2020. The Victorian Government and property developers Pellicano are working together to revitalise Ballarat’s central transportation hub, by embracing the area’s local charm and creating a dynamic transport, tourism and community centre.

Stage One of the $51 million development has introduced a 405 space, multi-level carpark for commuters, while Stage Two will see Ballarat welcome a brand new 77-room Quest Hotel. The hotel will be conveniently located a short walk from the train station and neighbouring events plaza. A long-term relationship between Pellicano and Quest apartment-hotel group has seen an <a href="/news/secondary-markets-benefit-as-pellicano-and-quest-expand-their-national-presence">impressive portfolio of Quest developments</a> take shape across Australia.

<blockquote>
“We are seeking an eclectic retail mix, from small businesses to larger national retailers looking to move into the area… We will aim to work closely with businesses to ensure the spaces suit their needs.”

- Nando Pellicano, Pellicano Managing Director
</blockquote>

The newly developed precinct will also feature a landscaped plaza which will connect the Goods Shed with the train station, providing an inviting space for public use and a place to host events, makers markets and more.

Pellicano to embark on Stage Two of Ballarat Station transformation

<html><body>
International hotel group Quest has partnered with Australian developer <a href="/developers/pellicano-group">Pellicano</a> to construct an eight-storey multi-residential building by 2020. Pellicano purchased the Gold Coast site last year, and obtained consent for the build in August 2018. Quest's reputation as one of Australasia’s largest and fastest growing apartment hotel chains has been one of the key factors to ensure Pellicano’s confidence in the project.

<blockquote>
“This project’s convenient location and ease of access to lifestyle amenity paired with Quest’s solid reputation for delivering quality accommodation ensures our confidence in the success of this project." 
</blockquote>

- Nando Pellicano, Pellicano Managing Director

“Best of all it will generate more local jobs and give Robina an opportunity to share in benefits of Council’s push for the Gold Coast to remain Australia’s tourism capital.” 
</blockquote>

- Hermann Vorster, <a href="http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/default">Gold Coast City Councillor</a> 

The Gold Coast has experienced a growth of business travel over the past 6 years in addition to low office vacancy, so the need to create more accommodation and office facilities was essential.

<blockquote>
“…We see Robina as a key commercial centre for the Gold Coast economy – evidenced by low office vacancy, iconic commercial towers and a range of drivers across the health, sporting and retail sectors to support future growth. Business trips to the Gold Coast have experienced average growth of above 6.5 per cent over the last six years which represents 10 per cent of the overnight domestic travel market. This provides a wonderful opportunity for Quest Robina to provide quality accommodation to meet this demand.” 
</blockquote>

- James Shields, Quest Apartment Hotels General Manager - Growth

Quest Robina and Lucia Residences will be the first of multiple joint ventures of Quest and Pellicano, totalling approximately $182 million. Other projects are likely to take place in the Victorian suburbs of Ballarat, Preston and Geelong.

Pellicano has secured Quest as the apartment hotel operator for mixed-use projects in Preston and Geelong, Victoria and Robina on the Gold Coast.
Completion of all four current projects is expected during 2020.
They will deliver 328 Quest apartment-hotel rooms, 99 residential apartments, retail space of 2,500sqm and a conference centre including theatrette.
In combination with Pellicano’s existing Quest property holdings at Woolloongabba and Dandenong, the sum of Pellicano’s Quest holdings will amount to a considerable 555 rooms.
Pellicano managing director Nando Pellicano says the companies’ relationship has been fortuitous over the past 10 years, owing to their complementary value proposition.
“The newest deals with Quest will take our relationship to eight projects over the past decade,” said Pellicano.

Pellicano builds a $182 million partnership with Quest

A Bentleigh property owned by the Pellicano family for 30 years has been sold.
The property, with a permit for 52 apartments sold to a local Melbourne developer for $9.75 million.
CBRE agent Mark Wizel, who had marketed the property, said it had presented a "fantastic packaged opportunity to the market.’’ 
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/5/15/277-279%20Centre%20Road.jpg" alt="">
The 277-279 Centre Road property comprises a 1564 square metre Commercial 1 zoned allotment with a double storey commercial building of 1276 square metres offering a prominent retail strip frontage of over 33 metres with rear lane access to 36 car spaces.
The property, which is located within the coveted McKinnon Secondary College zone and across the road from an Aldi supermarket, is currently 90 per cent leased to nine tenants at a passing income of $267,000 per annum.  
The approved permit allows for a Rothelowman designed, mix-used development with 52 apartments and two significant ground floor retail spaces over seven levels. 
 <img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2018/7/4/Table%20for%20Bentleigh.JPG" alt="">
Wizel said demand for housing in Bentleigh had driven prices past the Melbourne suburban average with a 21 per cent uplift in value over the last 18 months to register a median house price of just over $1.6 million. 
The property according to CBRE National Director Investments Mark Wizel, who brokered the deal with Julian White and Nathan Mufale, attracted a strong field of local, interstate and Asian purchasers.
Wizel said the permit appeared to unlock the best-use potential of the property although the 10-year average occupancy per tenant illustrated the strong and ongoing demand for commercial leases on the strip.

Pellicano family sells their Bentleigh property

<html><body>
The diversified property group, Pellicano, has sold the final lot at its 74 hectare masterplanned Innovation Park estate in Dandenong South.
It went for for 72% more than comparable lots in 2012.
At $290 per square metre for the 14,940 square metre site, the final sale to a private investor totalled over $4.3 million.
Over the past six years and across four stages, 61 lots have been sold at Innovation Park for upwards of $68 million.
The sale represented the last sale of public land with Pellicano and its JV partner, ISTP, instead now turning attention to the 26 hectare of land reserved exclusively for pre-commitments and speculative developments.
“The 72% increase between the approximate price per square metre in 2012 and 2017 is demonstrative of the growing demand for industrial lots in Victoria. In particular, the appetite for industrial land in the south east has consistently driven prices up,” managing director Renato Pellicano said.

Nando Pellicano, managing director, Pellicano said the site offers great connectivity to wider Melbourne being within a two-minute walk to bus access, and a five-minute walk to the Oakleigh train station.
"It also has direct access to major arterials such as Dandenong Road, Warrigal Road and the Monash Freeway,” he said.
"Alke will present a four-storey frontage to the street, with a retail tenancy at ground level creating an opportunity to add to the already vibrant street life.

“We see this development catering to residents in all walks of life,” Pellicano said.
“First home buyers, young professional renters, and downsizers who want the convenience of apartment living while staying within their local community can take advantage of this opportunity.”
A communal residents’ landscaped terrace will be located on level one, landscaped by John Patrick Landscape Architects.
Construction is set to commence in the second half of 2017.
