<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/doma-group">DOMA Group</a> has unveiled plans for Newcastle Quay, a major waterfront precinct set to reshape Newcastle’s harbourfront and further cement the city’s evolution into one of Australia’s fastest-growing urban destinations.

Positioned on a prominent site within the Honeysuckle Precinct, Newcastle Quay will span both sides of Honeysuckle Drive, connecting directly to the Foreshore Promenade and sitting within walking distance of Newcastle Interchange.

The mixed-use precinct is planned to include around 1,000 apartments, more than 28,000 sqm of commercial office space, 6,000 sqm of retail, and a 180-room hotel anchored by a 500-seat conference and exhibition centre, a move expected to significantly lift Newcastle’s ability to attract major business and tourism events.

The proposal builds on DOMA’s growing Newcastle pipeline, where the developer has already delivered 866 apartments and more than 19,000 sqm of commercial and retail space since entering the market in 2013. A further $2 billion pipeline is also in the works across the city.

The masterplan and executive architecture are led by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, with building concepts developed alongside Stewart Architecture, Architecture AND and Curious Practice, and landscape design by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/turf-design">Turf Design Studio</a>. More than 11,000 sqm of open space is planned, including a new waterfront park known as Honeysuckle Green, upgrades to Tree of Knowledge Park, and new pedestrian and cycling links throughout the precinct.

At the centre of the development will be the heritage-listed Wickham School of Arts, which DOMA plans to reposition as the civic and cultural heart of the precinct through restaurants, bars, events and public gathering spaces.

The broader vision is to create a genuine day-to-night precinct, blending residential, hospitality, retail, commercial and cultural uses in a way Newcastle has yet to experience at this scale.

DOMA Group Managing Director Jure Domazet said the aim was to create a precinct that becomes synonymous with Newcastle itself.

“Our vision is to create a precinct that not only delivers high-quality commercial, residential, and cultural spaces, but also defines Newcastle’s waterfront for generations to come,” Domazet said.

DOMA’s Chris Farrington said the project would fundamentally change how Newcastle is perceived nationally.

“Newcastle Quay is more than a waterfront precinct, it is a national announcement for this city,” Farrington said.

“A world-class Conference and Exhibition Centre will open Newcastle and the Hunter Region to a national and international audience for the first time, delivering something this city has long deserved.”

The project is expected to generate more than 4,000 full-time equivalent jobs and act as a major economic driver for the Hunter region through tourism, business events, hospitality and commercial investment.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully said the final parcel of harbourfront land will be a "true mixed-use precinct destination that includes housing, hospitality and entertainment, commercial spaces, retail, economic and social outcomes."

DOMA Group unveils 1,000-apartment Newcastle Quay precinct

ASX-listed developer Stockland is continuing to ramp up its return to the apartment market.

In late 2024, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/stockland">Stockland</a> announced it would resume apartment development after a 13-year absence, launching with Stanton Place in Rosebery, a 144-apartment project now under construction.

Last week, the developer unveiled plans alongside the NSW Government for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/first-look-stockland-nsw-gov-unveils-plans-for-3-300-home-waterloo-south-renewal">3,300-home precinct in Waterloo</a>.

Now, Stockland has shifted its focus in St Leonards, lodging a State Significant Development Application (SSDA) to replace an approved 42-storey office tower with a 52-storey residential development comprising more than 500 apartments.

<img alt="Stockland" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8979095e-9072-432b-a7da-58b180cf994d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-20%20at%204.27.36%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=_jbRXYOafCSHjwsz.yQCNIymMyCj8zkF" />

An existing 14-storey commercial office building would make way for a 264.5-metre tower designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bates-smart">Bates Smart</a>. The project would deliver 538 apartments, including 30 affordable housing units, alongside retail and commercial uses at the podium and ground plane.

It will rise from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/601-pacific-highway-st-leonards-nsw-2065">601 Pacific Highway</a>, a prominent 2,844 sqm triangular site adjoining Mitchell Plaza and fronting Pacific Highway.

The development is being pursued under the Housing Delivery Authority pathway after Stockland’s proposal was declared State Significant Development earlier this year.

<img alt="First look: Stockland plans 52-storey mixed-use tower with 538 apartments in St Leonards" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="67f40f35-0458-47ab-80c0-a4e98a31838a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/stockland%201.png?VersionId=rxXe3njr.auuGDuiR0k42uI8Zr4K.gZA" />

The apartment mix includes 217 one-bedroom apartments, 191 two-bedroom apartments, 122 three-bedroom apartments, and eight four-bedroom residences. Six basement levels would accommodate 300 car spaces, bicycle parking, loading areas, and building services.

Bates Smart said the project has been shaped around a series of urban design principles intended to improve the pedestrian experience and respond to the evolving character of St Leonards.

“With a boundary length of almost 75m along Pacific Highway and 70m along Atchison Street to the north, complying simply with the LEP envelope and required setbacks would result in a very wide tower form on the skyline,” the architects noted in the Design Report.

“We propose breaking the tower form into two defined volumes rather than a singular form.”

The podium has similarly been articulated into separate forms to reduce perceived bulk and create a finer-grain response to Mitchell Plaza and Atchison Street. Retail tenancies would activate the lower levels, while commercial space is proposed across the podium floors.

<img alt="First look: Stockland plans 52-storey mixed-use tower with 538 apartments in St Leonards" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="90149990-0551-40d2-bd48-14b69a015d12" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/stockland%202.png?VersionId=MJC2KIIWFvU9FPGr3IVq09gkRN_gX3m8" />

The design also places a significant emphasis on communal amenity and environmental performance. Residents would have access to landscaped terraces, wellness areas, flexible workspaces, and rooftop communal facilities, while the all-electric building is targeting an average 7-star NatHERS rating. Bates Smart said the project incorporates passive design measures including natural ventilation, integrated shading, and lightweight façade systems.

Planning documents note the site is around 350 metres from St Leonards Station and 400 metres from the metro entrance, placing it within one of Sydney’s most connected emerging residential precincts.

The project arrives amid a wave of large-scale redevelopment proposals reshaping the St Leonards and Crows Nest skyline. Several nearby sites have recently been approved, lodged, or declared under the Housing Delivery Authority pathway as the precinct absorbs significant residential density uplift tied to transit-oriented development policies.

<img alt="Stockland" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7805bd7c-dfd7-4b35-8e15-ec4a8bf8e61b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-20%20at%204.27.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=iY12K2m2bQ6EeDnshqfZC9rbLx_oEugP" />

Bates Smart’s report describes St Leonards as transitioning away from its historical commercial identity toward a more mixed-use urban environment.

“In recent years, the character of St Leonards has started to evolve, driven by new development trends along the Pacific Highway corridor,” the report said.

“These projects have increasingly focused on residential accommodation, marking a shift from its purely commercial roots.”

ANZ believes the Reserve Bank is in no rush to move again.

Following the release of the May Monetary Policy Board Minutes, ANZ has taken the view that the RBA is now firmly in a holding pattern, with the cumulative impact of previous rate hikes giving the Board scope to assess how the economy evolves from here.

That positioning, in ANZ’s view, makes a June rate hike unlikely.

The bank continues to expect the cash rate to remain unchanged at 4.35 per cent for an extended period, with the RBA adopting what is effectively a wait-and-see approach.

The Minutes point to a Board that sees financial conditions as already restrictive, but without a clear read on just how restrictive they are. That uncertainty has shifted the focus away from immediate policy action and toward monitoring both domestic conditions and global developments, particularly the conflict in the Middle East.

As ANZ interprets it, the Board is deliberately avoiding strong forward guidance.

Instead, it is allowing itself flexibility, acknowledging that monetary policy has limited ability to influence the near-term trajectory of inflation, while also recognising that economic growth is likely to remain below potential for some time.

Despite that pause in momentum, ANZ notes that the Board still carries a tightening bias.

The Minutes reveal that, in weighing up its decision, the Board seriously considered another 25 basis point increase. The key debate centred on the trade-off between inflation and activity, particularly in the context of global uncertainty.

Ultimately, most members leaned toward the inflation side of that equation.

Underlying inflation is still expected to remain above target for an extended period, regardless of how external risks evolve. That has led to a view within the Board that the risks to its inflation objective have increased, and that the current cash rate may not be sufficiently restrictive to fully contain those pressures.

That’s important.

While the decision, for now, is to hold, the underlying tone of the Minutes suggests the door to further tightening has not been closed.

ANZ also points to commentary from Assistant Governor (Economic) Sarah Hunter, who highlighted the risk that inflation could pass through the economy more quickly and broadly than in previous cycles. Both Hunter and a majority of the Board expressed concern that inflation expectations could become less anchored after such a prolonged period above target.

That combination, persistent inflation and the risk of expectations shifting, is what continues to underpin the RBA’s cautious stance.

However, where ANZ diverges from the RBA is on the outlook for activity.

The Board appears relatively comfortable with current spending patterns, effectively downplaying recent declines in business and consumer sentiment. It notes that sentiment has historically been only weakly correlated with actual spending, and that feedback from its liaison program has not yet pointed to a meaningful slowdown in consumption.

ANZ is less convinced.

The bank believes the link between household disposable income, sentiment and spending is more direct than the RBA is currently acknowledging. With inflation continuing to erode real incomes, ANZ expects household spending to soften more materially than the central bank is forecasting.

That divergence matters because it shifts the balance of risk.

If activity weakens more than expected, the trade-off between inflation and growth changes. In ANZ’s view, that would reduce the need for further tightening and reinforce the case for the RBA to remain on hold.

It also suggests that the current policy setting may already be doing more work than the Board fully appreciates.

The broader takeaway from ANZ’s interpretation is that the RBA is walking a narrow path.

On one side sits the risk of inflation remaining elevated for longer than expected. On the other is the growing pressure on households and the potential for a sharper slowdown in activity.

For now, the Board is choosing to wait.

But it is a pause that still carries an underlying tightening bias, rather than a clear pivot toward easing.

In practical terms, that leaves the cash rate anchored at 4.35 per cent for the foreseeable future, with the next move still uncertain.

For borrowers, it reinforces the reality that relief is not imminent.

And for the broader economy, it highlights the delicate balance the RBA is trying to strike, between bringing inflation back to target and avoiding an unnecessarily sharp slowdown in growth.

According to ANZ, it is a balance that is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.

RBA to hold rates for "prolonged period" rather than hikes: ANZ

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/venturecrowd-property-projects">VentureCrowd</a> is down to the final Canopy Villa release at Cumulus Grand Villas in Carrara, as construction continues on the 59-residence gated community positioned above 100 hectares of natural savanna on the Gold Coast.

The remaining Canopy Villa forms part of one of four collections within the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>-designed community and has attracted interest from buyers seeking larger-format homes that combine privacy, security and low-maintenance living. Positioned within a private cul-de-sac and facing a protected black she oak forest, the four-bedroom villa includes a large private outdoor area suited to pet owners and families wanting more flexible space.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/cumulus-grand-villas-carrara-17-baltimore-court-carrara-qld-4211">Cumulus Grand Villas</a>, located at 17 Baltimore Court, comprises a mix of three and four-bedroom villas across the Skyline, Canopy, Savanna and Broadview collections. Prices currently range from $1.455 million to $1.895 million, with the final Canopy Villa priced from $1.825 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360477]

The Canopy Collection villas offer four bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and approximately 245 sqm of internal space, alongside double garages and landscaped private areas. Expansive glazing, open-plan living spaces and private balconies have been designed to maximise natural light and outlooks toward the surrounding savanna landscape.

Construction is now underway across the fully funded development, which VentureCrowd says has become an increasingly important consideration for buyers assessing off-the-plan opportunities on the Gold Coast. The project is being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/devcon">Devcon Property Group</a>, which has operated in South East Queensland since 1993 and delivered more than 1,000 homes across the region.

VentureCrowd Director of Property David Whitting previously said the project responds to changing buyer priorities in the prestige Gold Coast market.

“Flexible floorplans have proven particularly relevant for purchasers aged between 40 and 65, including next home buyers, downsizers and investors,” Whitting said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360505]

The buyer profile at Cumulus has reflected that shift toward owner-occupier-driven demand. Stuart Towns and Tracey Loynes recently purchased a Canopy Villa, drawn to both the lifestyle offering and the flexibility the home provided for their next stage of living together.

The couple, who met three years ago, sold their Robina home earlier this year after identifying what they saw as strong long-term investment potential at Cumulus while remaining within the same Gold Coast market. The villa’s private backyard was a major drawcard for their dog Luna, while proximity to golf courses including Emerald Lakes also aligned with their lifestyle interests.

Beyond the residences themselves, the community has been planned around shared lifestyle and recreation amenities. The Infinity Terrace will include a 20-metre heated pool, barbecue facilities, alfresco dining spaces and elevated retreat areas overlooking the surrounding landscape. Walking trails, a private nature reserve, orchard and herb garden are also integrated into the masterplan.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360473]

BDA Architecture Director Darren Greenaway said the design approach was heavily influenced by the site’s outlook and secluded setting.

The practice sought to create what Greenaway described as a “little piece of paradise,” drawing inspiration from the elevated views, surrounding greenery and quiet location.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/carrara-qld-4211">Carrara</a> continues to attract buyers seeking larger homes within proximity to the coast but without direct beachfront pricing. Cumulus sits within easy reach of Broadbeach, Pacific Fair, Robina Town Centre and the M1, providing connections north to Brisbane and south toward the Gold Coast Airport and northern New South Wales.

The first stage of Cumulus Grand Villas is targeting completion in 2026.

VentureCrowd nears sell-out of Canopy Collection at Cumulus Grand Villas in Carrara

Waverley Council has made a call that many councils have been reluctant to make publicly. Growth is coming, regardless of who controls it.

The release of the Bondi Junction Vision and Master Plan is less about whether the Eastern Suburbs’ primary centre will change, and more about how that change is shaped, funded, and ultimately experienced on the ground. Waverley Council has released a 100-page plan which is effectively the first comprehensive blueprint for Bondi Junction in over two decades, and in doing so, signals a clear shift in how councils are positioning themselves in the current planning environment.

For the past 18 months, the conversation across New South Wales has been dominated by the State Government’s Low and Mid-Rise Housing reforms and the emergence of the Housing Delivery Authority pathway. Both have created faster, more centralised avenues for development approvals, particularly in well-located, infrastructure-rich areas like Bondi Junction.

Waverley Council’s response has been to move early, and decisively.

Rather than react to individual proposals as they come through the HDA or broader State-led reforms, Council has sought to establish a clear, place-based framework that sets the terms for how Bondi Junction evolves. The underlying position is relatively straightforward: if densification is inevitable, it should be tied to infrastructure, public domain improvements, and a cohesive vision for the centre, not delivered piecemeal through ad hoc applications.

<img alt="bondi junction" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7f1f729c-ed99-4c6c-bf87-ffbce6991941" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-19%20at%209.58.16%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=ULX4OlXKjeJ5BvNCNGL86evgXCjCfMih" />

At its core, the document is attempting to reposition Bondi Junction from what it largely functions as today, a transport interchange anchored by a major retail centre, into something far more layered. The ambition is to transform it into what the plan describes as the “civic and cultural heart of Sydney’s East,” a place that is active beyond commuting hours and capable of supporting a broader mix of uses, experiences and communities.

That repositioning is built around four key ambitions.

The first is to create a true destination. Bondi Junction already attracts significant foot traffic, with more than 86,000 daily transport users and millions of annual retail visits, but much of that activity is transient. People pass through, rather than stay.

The Master Plan seeks to change that dynamic. It leans heavily into the idea of an “18-hour economy,” extending activity well beyond traditional retail hours through dining, cultural programming, events, and a more active night-time offering. This is not just about adding more hospitality venues, but about fundamentally shifting how the centre operates, from a daytime shopping destination to a place that functions across the full span of the day and into the evening.

Oxford Street Mall sits at the centre of that shift.

Long seen as underperforming relative to its potential, the Mall is identified as one of the key catalyst projects in the plan. It is to be reimagined as a day-to-night spine, combining retail, dining, wellness and cultural uses in a way that creates a continuous flow of activity. Outdoor dining, rooftop venues, laneway activation and a curated events program are all part of the strategy, alongside significant public domain upgrades that aim to improve comfort, safety and usability.

&nbsp;

The second ambition is to transform Bondi Junction into a world-class interchange.

Despite being one of the most heavily used transport nodes in Sydney, the current experience is fragmented. Connections between the station, Westfield, Oxford Street Mall and surrounding streets are often unclear, and major roads create physical barriers that disrupt pedestrian movement.

The Master Plan proposes a more seamless, people-focused network. That includes clearer pedestrian links, improved wayfinding, better integration between transport modes, and a rethinking of how arrival into the centre is experienced. The aim is to shift the perception of Bondi Junction from a place people move through, to a place they arrive in.

The third ambition focuses on greening and open space.

One of the more consistent pieces of community feedback throughout the Vision phase was the need for more greenery, better public spaces, and a more comfortable urban environment. Despite being surrounded by major parks, Bondi Junction itself has relatively limited accessible open space, with much of the public realm dominated by hard surfaces and traffic infrastructure.

The plan responds with a network of new and upgraded public spaces, increased tree canopy, and what it terms the “Parkline,” a green link connecting Waverley Park through to Centennial Park. This is not just about aesthetics. It is about addressing heat, improving liveability, and ensuring that increased density is matched by access to high-quality outdoor space.

The fourth ambition is perhaps the most important from a development perspective: growth that gives back.

Bondi Junction is already the primary location for new housing supply in the Waverley LGA, and that is expected to continue. The area carries a target of 2,400 new dwellings by 2029, with further growth projected beyond that as demand for well-located housing continues to rise. The Master Plan does not seek to limit that growth. Instead, it attempts to shape it.

New housing is to be concentrated around transport, with stepped building heights designed to protect the character of surrounding neighbourhoods. At the same time, the plan introduces a more explicit link between development uplift and public benefit. This is where value capture becomes central.

The document outlines a framework where increased development potential is tied to contributions that fund public domain improvements, community infrastructure, open space, and affordable housing. It is an approach that recognises that much of the transformation of Bondi Junction will be delivered by the private sector, but seeks to ensure that the benefits of that growth are shared more broadly. The Civic Precinct is a key part of that equation.

Leveraging Council-owned land, the plan proposes a consolidated civic and cultural hub centred around Ebley Street. This would include new community facilities, cultural spaces, and potentially a new Council Chambers, creating a focal point for civic life that currently does not exist in Bondi Junction at scale.

It is one of several catalyst projects identified in the Master Plan, alongside the Oxford Street Mall transformation. These projects are intended to anchor change, acting as early interventions that unlock broader investment across the precinct.

Importantly, the Master Plan is not just a design document. It includes a delivery framework that sets out how these ambitions are intended to be realised.

Council is explicit in acknowledging that it cannot deliver the transformation alone. Implementation will require coordination between State agencies, private developers, landowners and the community, with a mix of planning agreements, infrastructure contributions and direct delivery mechanisms used to fund and stage improvements over time.

The plan outlines a mix of short-term, medium-term and long-term actions, from immediate public domain upgrades and planning controls, through to larger-scale projects that will unfold over the next decade or more. In practical terms, the next 12 to 24 months will be the most important.

This is when the Master Plan will move through exhibition, refinement and eventual adoption. It is also the period in which Council will seek to embed the framework into its planning controls, giving it weight in the assessment of future development applications.

Council officers have indicated that once the Master Plan is in place, it could be used as a benchmark when assessing Housing Delivery Authority proposals, and potentially reduce the need for further HDA declarations within Bondi Junction. In effect, it is an attempt to bring planning control back to the local level, while still aligning with State housing targets.

That tension between State-led reform and local planning control is not unique to Waverley. It is playing out across Sydney.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

If delivered as intended, Bondi Junction will become denser, more active, and more complex. It will support more residents, more workers, and a wider range of uses, extending beyond its current retail core into a more layered urban environment.

“The civic and cultural heart of Sydney’s East”: Bondi Junction masterplan revealed

Pellicano Group

A collaboration between developers Pellicano and hospitality experts Zagame, could see Melbourne open the Southern Hemisphere’s largest indoor waterpark by summer 2021. 

Not only will the park be home to adrenaline seekers and holiday makers, but an education-focussed initiative will mean students can tour Zagame Wild Water Park behind-the-scenes to discover unique engineering and technology advancements.

The $100 million project, announced earlier this week, contains numerous exciting features such as the ability to launch yourself from towers on zip-lines, play interactive video games through water tunnels, zoom skyward in uphill waterslides, float beneath a giant aquarium of marine-life and more. 

Zagame’s Wild Water Park has been in the planning process for seven years, under the management of award-winning architects Peddle Thorpe. The team also employed the help of Canadian company WhiteWater West, who will bring new innovative technology down-under.

<blockquote>
“The park will be home to some of WhiteWater’s latest innovations in technology and design, bringing a truely one-of-a-kind experience to all Australians.”
</blockquote>

- James Corbett, Managing director of WhiteWater West Australia.

Once open, primary, college and tertiary students will be invited to explore the engineering and technological aspects of the design on a guided tour.

The park will also provide multiple hands-on learning stations such as interactive iPad’s where children can learn about the lifecycle of food, a freshwater aquarium exhibit and a community vegetable garden. Pellicano’s managing director Nando Pellicano explains the ‘learn while playing’ philosophy will provide the wider community with “safe and educational fun for all-ages”. 

THE FACTS:

<ul>
<li>Situated in Dingley Village, only 40 minutes south-east of Melbourne’s CBD</li>
	<li>The park is estimated to create 1184 full-time jobs</li>
	<li>18,200 sqm indoors / 20,000 sqm outdoors</li>
	<li>Will deliver year-round, all-weather experiences</li>
	<li>Forecast visitation numbers at over one million annually</li>
	<li>Zagame and Pelliccan have committed to implementing multiple sustainable practices such as solar power, reuse of rainwater collection, extensive indigenous wetland planting, focus on composing/recycling/biodegradable processes </li>

Metro and regional centres alike stand to gain as developer Pellicano announces the latest round of cooperation with short stay provider Quest.

A trio of new locations have been announced in recent days, bolstering the relationship between the duo which already includes a Quest presence in Brisbane's Woolloongabba and metropolitan Melbourne's Dandenong. Gold Coast's Robina is to be joined by new Victorian locations in Geelong and Preston as Pellicano aggressively expands its development pipeline.

Including the Quest apartment hotel at Ballarat Station’s $51 million mixed-use redevelopment, the quartet of projects stand to deliver 328 Quest apartment-hotel rooms, 99 purely residential apartments, a combined retail space of 2,500 square metres and a conference centre/theatrette.

All four projects have a nominated 2020 completion date, ballooning the combined Pellicano and Quest partnership to 555 rooms over eight locations.

<blockquote>
The newest deals with Quest will take our relationship to eight projects over the past decade.

The mixed-use nature of Quest’s offering combined with our residential apartments is a complementary offering and gives us the opportunity to value add by forming agreements with Quest to offer hotel-like services to the residential occupants in the building.
<cite>Pellicano managing director Nando Pellicano </cite>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
We are fortunate to have established a long term partnership with such a renowned developer as Pellicano. We look forward to providing greater apartment-style accommodation for our corporate and leisure travellers, in locations where our customers need to be.
<cite>Chairman of Quest Apartments Hotels, Paul Constantinou</cite>
</blockquote>

The latest announcement is a boon for both developer and operator.

Beyond the fruitful relationship with Quest, Pellicano has a number of active residential projects in both Melbourne and Brisbane, with the latter a joint venture alongside fellow Melbourne-based developer Perri Projects. Dubbed South City Square, the multi-towered precinct's current build includes 140 apartments within the latest residential tower, with future stages still to be delivered.

Urban.com.au recently revealed that Pellicano injected itself into Melbourne's Brunswick <a href="/news/pellicano-drops-in-as-mirabella-opts-out-of-moreland">via a new apartment project</a> which is now at planning.

Designed by Six Degrees Architects and including 66 apartments, the development at 212-214 Albion Street finds itself in a pocket of apartment projects, both existing and in development, that maintain a high degree of design nous coupled with environmental sustainability. The Albion Street 1,530 square metre site was nabbed by Pellicano for $5.8 million during mid 2017.

<figcaption>Quest Preston is in the pipeline. Image: Peddle Thorp</figcaption></figure>Bolstered by Sinagporean firm The Ascott Limited increasing its stake in Quest lat year, the brand is proliferating at pace across Australia and elsewhere.

Whilst Ascott’s overall portfolio has expanded to 507 properties across 124 cities, Quest has for the most confined itself to Australia. It maintains a presence in over 150 locations across Australasia, although plans are in place to open as many as 10 apartment hotel properties in the United Kingdom over the coming five years with Liverpool the first nominated city.

The operator's most recent Australian project to reach completion was Quest Pacific Epping which was subject to a separate development agreement between Quest and Pacific Shopping Centres. Head contractor Maben recently completed the seven level complex which involves retail tenancies, office space and 96 rooms.

Secondary markets benefit as Pellicano and Quest expand their national presence

<html><body>
Project partners Pellicano Group and Perri Projects have taken their massive South City Square project back to planning in order to rework future stages of the development.

The project is very much representative of the boom in development that has been seen across Woolloongabba, although the bulk of South City Square has yet to be built. Earlier this month planning documents were lodged, seeking to alter the composition of future stages of the project which in time willencompasses more than two hectares.

Primarily fronting Logan Road, the applied for changes changes are relevant to the southern portion of the site and look to supersede planning approval granted during late 2016.

Initial buildings on the Logan Road and Deshon Street intersection were completed during 2017.

<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/image3_11.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="South City Square as of late 2017.

Image: Aussie Bhoy / Skyscrapercity" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>South City Square as of late 2017. Image: Aussie Bhoy / Skyscrapercity</figcaption></figure>Changes sought within the new application include:

<ul>
<li>Adding a new parcel of land at 178 Logan Road and removing 31 Sword Street</li>
	<li>Changing the staging for the development proposal</li>
	<li>Delivering a supermarket and central square as a stand alone stage (owing to Woolworths signing on)</li>
	<li>A change in design for what will be known as Building 6</li>
	<li>Building 4 will be split to create two separate buildings known as Building 4 and Building 5 (18 and 15 levels)</li>
	<li>Inclusion of retirement living </li>
	<li>Additional parking</li>
</ul>
Overall seven separate developable buildings between 4 and 18 levels are in the wings, although Stage 3/Supermarket is noted as being at construction.

In line with a swag of applications that have targeted retirement living across Brisbane in recent times, South City Square aims to follow suit. Planning consultant Urbis noted "A vertical Retirement Facility is also proposed to be introduced into the development to meet Brisbane’s growing demand for retirement facilities and enhance the diversity and mix of uses included in South City Square.

The introduction of this use has tangible benefits to the broader community who may be looking for retirement options in Woolloongabba."

<figcaption>The development as envisaged upon completion. Planning image: DBI</figcaption></figure>To this point the sprawling $600 million mixed-use project has held a nominated completion date of 2023. The initial plan consisted of six residential buildings and one hotel in addition to the major retail, dining and entertainment aspects at ground level.

It's likely that Brisbane's soft apartment market has in part contributed to the rebalancing of the project's uses.

Another big ticket development has rolled into construction, increasing the already impressive tally of sizeable projects at construction within the City of Monash which amount to billions of dollars of investment within the municipality.

Residential project Alke's commencement has boosted the already diverse big-ticket construction list within Monash. Commercial, residential, educational, aged care, large-scale retail and health builds are on the go within the municipality which is Victoria’s second largest economic and employment generator.

Developer Pellicano has brought forward construction of <a href="/buildings/alke-89-atherton-road-oakleigh">Alke</a> six months ahead of initial expectations following a strong sales campaign. The $55 million SJB-designed residential development includes 89 apartments over three buildings and was launched to market in September 2017.

In what has become a commonplace practice of late Pellicano shrunk the number of apartments on the back of buyer demand; Alke initially included 115 apartments but was rejigged to include fewer but larger dwellings.

<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/image214_3.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Alke as is, and as will be"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="211" src="/sites/urban.melbourne/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/image214_3.jpg?itok=bG8AFomv" title="Alke as is, and as will be" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Alke as is, and as will be</figcaption></figure>Pellicano's in-house construction arm has begun the build with an eye to reaching completion mid-2019. The three buildings include between 14-45 dwellings and are separated by a communal landscaped terrace.

Alke's commencement has seen it join a list of top flight projects currently under construction within City of Monash. 

The diversified list at construction is headlined by the $1 billion <a href="/buildings/m-city-2107-dandenong-road-clayton">M-City</a> development; the project which is in the <a href="/news/construction-officially-begins-at-m-city">early stages of construction</a> will become Melbourne’s largest mixed-use development outside of the CBD. Included is a sizeable commercial component, hotel, serviced apartments, extensive retail and hundreds of apartments.

Also high in value is Vicinity Centres' The Glen redevelopment which weighs in at $490 million. Probuild is currently undertaking works across the Glen Waverley retail hub.

<figcaption>Monash BLTB, M-City and the Victorian Heart Hospital</figcaption></figure>Alke joins <a href="/buildings/galleria-glen-waverley-52-osullivan-road-glen-waverley">Galleria</a> as the second large-scale residential project under construction in the municipality, with Hickory Group working on Galleria's basement levels on the way to eventually delivering 267 apartments, 9 retail spaces, 315 car spaces and 88 bike spaces.  

From an education standpoint, builder Multiplex is well into Monash University's Biomedical Learning and Teaching Building. The $100 million Denton Corker Marshall-designed project is expected to be completed late this year and features a unique facade.

The Biomedical Learning and Teaching Building the latest in a string of big-ticket projects facilitated by Monash University over the past five years.

Poised to begin construction toward the end of the year is the new <a href="/news/john-holland-to-build-the-new-victorian-heart-hospital">Victorian Heart Hospital</a> opposite the Australian Synchrotron and partly funded by Monash University. Designed jointly by John Wardle Architects and Conrad Gargett, the $542 million project has been awarded to contractor John Holland.

Alke adds to City of Monash's multibillion dollar construction boom

<html><body>
Based on the flow of planning applications into Oakleigh, the suburb was identified by Apartments.com.au as <a href="/news/pellicano-group-cements-oakleigh-as-an-upcoming-apartment-hotspot">an emerging apartment hot spot</a> at the turn of 2016.

Oakleigh's apartment-driven regeneration has now taken a step forward with the official launch of another major apartment project. Mount Waverley-based developer Pellicano has pulled the trigger on Alke, their latest residential project that will add 89 dwellings along Oakleigh's Atherton Road.

With an end value of $53 million, Alke is the result of a stint at planning which culminated with a win for Pellicano at VCAT.

Subsequent to the project's approval, Pellicano chose to drop the number of apartments within Alke from 115 to 89, in order to provide larger dwellings and better meet local demand stemming from Oakleigh and surrounding suburbs.

<figcaption>Oakleigh's new edition - Alke.</figcaption></figure><h2>What they say</h2>

<blockquote>
Oakleigh holds a great significance to Pellicano and we want to uphold our history by bringing a more premium product to the area, adding value to the urban context and providing long-term, quality homes for its inhabitants.

These generously sized and well-designed apartments provide a great opportunity for contemporary, community-focused living within an established neighbourhood. Due to the area’s rich history and strong community, we are seeing a lot of interest from local downsizers and local first home buyers.

Many second and third-generation Europeans, who want to stay in their established community and continue to enjoy the abundant amenity but without the hassle of looking after a large family home, are looking to move into these larger, well-appointed apartments. The local primary schools and close links to relatives also make it attractive for the young families looking for a home.
<cite>Nando Pellicano: Pellicano managing director</cite>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
Our interior arm created a scheme that offers residents the opportunity to express their own personality though the selection of furniture, artwork, and accessories.

The communal areas are light-filled and landscaped with vegetation, offering spaces for social interaction or quiet respite, and adding to the quality of life for Alke residents.

<figcaption>Alke's finer street level treatment</figcaption></figure><h2>The design</h2>

After various planning machinations, architecture firm SJB has settled Alke's design; two six level buildings set above a common podium level sweep away from one another, with a low-rise third building also part of the development.

Each building consists between 14-45 apartments, with the larger buildings bisected by a podium top communal garden space. Externally the project is finished in brick snap panels which speaks to Oakleigh's traditional housing finish, floor to ceiling glazing and perforated metal screens for shading and privacy.

Internally Pellicano have split the 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments into different categories; Garden Loft Residences, Terrace Homes and 3 bedroom Penthouse sized residences. Interior schemes carry timber floorboards, contrasting lines plus soft grey and white colour schemes with an overtone of industrial detailing.

The almost ubiquitous trendy cafe will also account for Alke's retail space.

<figcaption>Alke's communal terrace</figcaption></figure><h2>Oakleigh bulks up</h2>

Alke joins Oros as projects currently at sales within Oakleigh. 

Oros will eventually become a sprawling development accounting for a 9,605sqm site fronting Dandenong Road; its 348 apartments are joined by a serviced apartment contingent and in excess of 2,000sqm of retail space. Conversely Alke is more conservative in scale and closely cited to Oakleigh's retail and commercial heart, plus Oakleigh Station.

Combined they will add 400 plus apartments to the suburb which has only one considerable apartment project approaching construction completion, namely 8 Degrees at 83 Drummond Street which consists of 54 apartments.

Ballarat's station precinct is set to be transformed, following last week's announcement that the Pellicano Group has been awarded the rights to develop a new conference centre and hotel facility.

Premier Daniel Andrews last week joined Minister for Regional Development Jaala Pulford, Member for Wendouree Sharon Knight and Member for Buninyong Geoff Howard to announce the winning team to build the $44 million project which seeks to kick-start the larger revitalisation of Ballarat’s historic station precinct and surrounding area.

The redeveloped precinct will feature:

<ul>
<li>A modern 4.5 star 77 room hotel to be run by Quest.</li>
	<li>1,700sqm conference centre, a 300-seat theatrette and a 300-seat banquet room within the Goods Shed.</li>
	<li>900m2 of retail and dining options within the Goods Shed and a public plaza for community events.</li>
	<li>420 car parks with 270 for commuters and 150 for hotel patrons, with scope for future expansion.</li>
	<li>The Spotless Group will operate the conference facilities under their EPICURE brand and will focus on building an events base including exhibitions, performances, weddings, conventions, community events and galas.</li>
</ul>

<figcaption>The new 4.5 star 77 room Quest Hotel. Image courtesy Pellicano Group</figcaption></figure><blockquote>
Ballarat has a proud history and bright future. This is about putting people first and bringing more people to this great city – creating jobs and making this historic precinct something locals can be proud of.
<cite>Premier Daniel Andrews</cite>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
We think it’s a very strategic site near the train station, and the combination of a Quest hotel and convention centre run by Spotless was an attractive prospect. It made a lot of sense to invest in the project and we’ve got a long standing relationship with Quest, so that made us more comfortable. We are very confident (it will be successful). We’re basing it on our assumptions done via modelling and Quest already have an existing model as they have a[apartments ion Ballarat already.
<cite>Nando Pellicano, Director, Pellicano Group</cite>
</blockquote>

The Victorian Government will be investing $25 million from its Regional Jobs and Infrastructure Fund. Construction is expected to begin by mid-late 2017, however a completion date for the project has yet to be nominated. The project is expected to generate 140 jobs during construction and 30 ongoing jobs once completed. Construction will be staged in such a way to minimise disruptions to local residents and commuters.

The concept plans are available for viewing and comment at www.engage.vic.gov.au until 22 January 2017. The community is also invited to an open day on Saturday 3 December at Ballarat Library, from 12.00pm to 4.00pm.

Ballarat’s historic station precinct set to be transformed

Builder turned developer Pellicano Group is seeking approval for a residential apartment development in Oakleigh that promises to further propel the suburb toward higher density living. The Mount Waverley-based firm is proposing 111 residential apartments at 89-93 Atherton Road which if approved would become the tallest building within the suburb.

Over a 2,620sqm site, the land in question is located on the north side of Atherton Road and is currently for the most an open air at-grade car park.

<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/image8_2.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Ground level perspective.

Image courtesy SJB" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Ground level perspective. Image courtesy SJB</figcaption></figure>Requested is a part 5, part 8 and part 10 storey residential building which would sit within the Oakleigh Activity Centre. Limited street frontage and space confines has seen project lead SJB create a multi-building outcome with the expectation that its orientation will allow for maximum natural light to penetrate the development.

Included within 89-93 Atherton Road are 26 single bedroom options supplemented by 85 dual bedroom apartments with either a single or double bathroom in tow. A 200.2sqm retail tenancy faces Atherton Road whilst communal facilities for the project are expected to include a terrace, indoor and outdoor gym and BBQ/teppanyaki area.

In context Pellicano Group's proposal is in close proximity to another SJB-designed apartment project, Atherton &amp; Atkinson, which is currently under construction.  Atherton &amp; Atkinson is second only to Kokoda Property Group's 94-apartment Infinity Oakleigh project which was completed during 2015 in terms of the current wave of Oakleigh apartment project completions.

<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/image7_6.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Drummond Hill plus Atherton &amp; Atkinson are adding to the Oakleigh apartment mix"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="268" src="/sites/urban.melbourne/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/image7_6.jpg?itok=kiLVjDLq" title="Drummond Hill plus Atherton &amp; Atkinson are adding to the Oakleigh apartment mix" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Drummond Rise plus Atherton &amp; Atkinson are adding to the Oakleigh apartment mix</figcaption></figure>The spread of apartments within Oakleigh has also landed upon Dandenong Road with a number of current projects also showing on the Apartments.com.au Project Database.  CGHS Developments have guided Drummond Rise to construction whilst the adjoining site is being marketed by developer Intraland as 8 Degrees Apartments.

Immediately north of Intraland's site another application is under consideration for a 34-apartment project at 16-18 Dalgety Street. The recent sale of 807-811 Warrigal Road to Chinese affiliated Viapac Australia Pty Ltd further underpins Oakleigh's apartment hot spot credentials with the 3,686 sqm site sold by CBRE City Sales featuring an indicative development scheme for 190 apartments.

<figcaption>CBRE City Sales have foreshadowed 200 apartments for 807-811 Warrigal Road</figcaption></figure>Factoring in the numerous large at-grade car parks within the Oakleigh Activity Centre capable of taking sizeable development, the suburb's proximity to the massive drawcard that is Chadstone Shopping Centre as well as increased rail capacity within 5-10 years with the advent of the Melbourne Metro Rail project / Dandenong rail corridor improvements and the proliferation of smaller scale projects such as 33-35 Ferntree Gully Road, and Oakleigh is in the initial throes of an apartment-based transformation.
