Lifestyle developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gurner">GURNER™ Group</a>, in partnership with Costa Property Group, has announced plans to reimagine Cunningham Pier in Geelong, one of Victoria's most recognisable heritage landmarks.

The announcement follows the City of Greater Geelong’s release of its Draft Geelong Waterfront Master Plan, which seeks to revitalise the waterfront with new energy, tourism, and investment. GURNER and Costa Property Group’s vision aligns with the Council’s ambitions to create a vibrant, connected, and economically powerful precinct for the community.&nbsp;

The future of Cunningham Pier will draw inspiration from Sydney Harbour’s luxury waterfront residences through to Dubai’s sculptural pier-edge towers, blending architectural excellence with &nbsp;resort-style living, hospitality, and public amenity.&nbsp;

The concept, described as “Saint Moritz on the Sea”, is envisioned to include:&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>Six-star hotel accommodation and services&nbsp;</li>
	<li>World-class restaurants, bars, and public spaces&nbsp;</li>
	<li>High-end residential offerings&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Entertainment and cultural venues&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Potential cruise ship port facilities, integrating Geelong into the global travel network&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

The transformative project aims to become a magnet for tourism, investment, and innovation, while &nbsp;ensuring continued public access and connection to Corio Bay’s pristine waterfront.&nbsp;

Cunningham Pier has been operated by Costa Property Group for more than 15 years, with the City of Greater Geelong expressing strong support for strategic commercial partnerships that unlock &nbsp;tourism-led economic development for the region’s fast-growing population.&nbsp;

Tim Gurner, Founder &amp; Executive Chairman, GURNER™ Group, said the project is a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to put Geelong on the global map," adding that their version will be of what icons like the Opera House, Story Bridge or Empire State Building have done for other great cities.

“We’ll be working hand-in-hand with the Mayor, Council, the local community, and State Government to deliver something truly iconic that positions Geelong on the world stage. This project brings together everything we’ve built our brand on – world-class design, hospitality, &nbsp;lifestyle, and experience – all in one place. From six-star hotels and restaurants to the possibility of a &nbsp;new cruise ship terminal and luxury residences, the vision is extraordinary.”&nbsp;

City of Greater Geelong&nbsp;Mayor Stretch Kontelj said he welcomes the "bold and inspiring vision reimagining our beloved Cunnigham Pier as a global destination."

"This ambitious plan and the opening of Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre next year have the potential to take our already world-class waterfront to even greater heights.”

Sydney Harbour, Dubai pier towers, to influence Gurner's Cunningham Pier, Geelong development

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bates-smart">Bates Smart</a> is one of Melbourne's longest standing architecture firms.

Founded in Melbourne in 1853 by Joseph Reed, the firm began as Reed &amp; Barnes and has evolved through various partnerships before adopting the Bates Smart name in the 20th century. With a continuous presence spanning more than 170 years, the practice has played a pivotal role in shaping Melbourne’s architectural identity.

In the 19th century, Bates Smart designed several of Melbourne’s enduring landmarks, including the Royal Exhibition Building (1880), a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the Melbourne Town Hall. The firm’s influence continued into the 20th century with notable works such as Ici House (1958), considered Melbourne’s first modern skyscraper and a milestone in post-war Australian architecture.

One of their landmark designs was&nbsp;The First Church of Christ, Scientist, at 336-340 St Kilda Road. The building, which is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, was designed by Bates, Peeble and Smart with construction completed in 1922. Architecturally, the building is significant as a rare example of early twentieth century classicism applied to a religious building. Historically, the building is significant as the first church of the Christian Science movement.

Melbourne developer Time &amp; Place decided to bring Bates Smart back to the area to design their next residential apartment project, Park Modern.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138453 project_image_fid=2138]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/park-modern-south-melbourne-1-middleton-lane-south-melbourne-vic-3205">Park Modern</a>, on one of the largest island sites on the Melbourne CBD fringe, bordered by Dorcas Street, Wells Street, and Middleton Lane, will comprise two sculptural towers. It is being positioned as a design-forward response to evolving owner-occupier preferences in the Domain precinct.

Tim Price, Director at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/time-place">Time &amp; Place</a>, says&nbsp;Bates Smart have got a footprint on this city, probably like no other architect.

"It’s a really nice kind of next chapter story, that they created from a design perspective so long ago," Price told Apartments.com.au.

Park Modern will be the third time Time &amp; Place has worked with Bates Smart, having successfully designed and delivered Collins House and Opera on St Kilda Road together.

The brief focused on creating a built form that would feel contextually appropriate while offering a contemporary evolution of inner-city apartment living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138453 project_image_fid=2137]

The focus for Park Modern is squarely on owner-occupiers.

“It’s not always about downsizing," Price says.

"Sometimes it’s just about creating a space which is easily maintained, lock up and leave, reflecting people’s aspirations, whether they’re entertainers, big dining room spaces, big open terraces, they’re important parts of any design consideration.”

The building includes a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as penthouses, with layouts and floor plans designed to suit a broad demographic. The architecture has been shaped to capture&nbsp;view corridors to the Botanic Gardens, Port Phillip Bay and the CBD skyline.

Each apartment has been oriented to maximise natural light and provide a clear outlook, elements often cited by owner-occupiers as key criteria.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138453 project_image_fid=351806]

Rather than defaulting to a generic luxury offering, the amenity strategy at Park Modern reflects specific insights into how residents want to live. The ground floor will include co-working areas, wellness facilities, and a concierge-led lobby that blends indoor and outdoor design cues.

“Wellness has become a more thoughtful consideration, not just gyms or lap pools, but things like magnesium plunge pools, saunas, daybeds, and studio spaces for Pilates and the regular cardio workout,” says Price.

One notable inclusion is a substantial porte-cochère, a covered vehicle drop-off zone integrated into the site plan. It’s a feature rarely seen in inner-urban developments and speaks to the team’s emphasis on ease of arrival and departure for residents and guests.

A display suite for Park Modern is now open by appointment, giving prospective buyers an early look at the project.

100 years on, Bates Smart returns to South Melbourne's Domain Precinct to design Park Modern

One of the most significant beachfront projects ever proposed for the small suburb of Miami on the Gold Coast, has taken a major step forward.&nbsp;Monaco Property Group has secured approval for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nalu-miami-122-marine-parade-qld-4220">NALU</a>, a $500 million development comprising just 45 ultra-luxury residences on the iconic former Nobby’s Outlook site.

Acquired by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/monaco-property-group">Monaco Property Group</a> in 2024 for $70 million, the rare 7,238 sqm Marine Parade parcel boasts more than 80 metres of uninterrupted ocean frontage.

With approvals now secured, Monaco Property Group will move NALU into its delivery phase. The project has been designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, who collaborated with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/ldg-landscape-architecture">LDG Landscape Architecture</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/tom-mark-henry">Tom Mark Henry Interiors</a>&nbsp;to create the low-rise building, its landscaping, and interiors.

<img alt="NALU" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3fdf578e-7cc4-4b17-bbc2-ba853522a5d8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/122_Marine_Parade_002.jpg?VersionId=zFhJWVzX0jmCO.5iIIxNELImHesTjWS4" />

Residences will range from 237 sqm layouts to beachfront homes exceeding 1,400 sqm.

At the heart of the project is a 2,200 sqm lifestyle precinct with a bathhouse, fitness centre and resort-style pool, elevated by a concierge service.

Jonathan Grasso, Co-Founder of Monaco Property Group, said the council approval marks an exciting milestone for NALU, which will launch in Q1 2026.

“The project will now progress toward construction, working alongside our world-class collaborators to bring NALU to life," Grasso said.

“Our vision is to create a legacy project for the Gold Coast, one that not only honours the history of the site but also elevates its future, setting a new standard for coastal living in Australia. NALU embodies the pinnacle of design and location and will stand as an enduring icon of prestige and liveability.”

<img alt="NALU" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6ae8545b-87ca-4dea-90ed-ac273ec6515d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Image7.jpg?VersionId=Wnmie4bu3x2WQonnG4Pwmh39NdZVKeOV" />

Originally developed in the 1970s as Nobby’s Outlook and later refurbished in 2019 as Nalu, the property has long held a place in the local community’s coastal identity. The new vision will build on this legacy, creating luxury residences that capture ocean views while fostering a lifestyle defined by wellness, connection, and ease.&nbsp;

Beyond its residential offering, NALU will deliver significant economic benefits to the Gold Coast through job creation and opportunities for local suppliers and contractors. Construction is anticipated to commence in early 2026, with completion expected in Q3 2028.

Monaco Property Group approved for $500 million NALU apartments on Miami beach

The most elevated residential tower in Palm Beach, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/corallo-palm-beach-5-palm-beach-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">Corallo</a>, has officially launched this week, however only a handful of buyers will have an opportunity to buy in to the 17-storey project.

The $200 million mixed-use project includes ground floor dining and retail and is considered so valuable its developer, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/changfa-group">Changfa Group</a>, will be staging its release of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses to the market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=806]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> International, Director, David Higgins, said the development’s location just metres from the beach on the corner of Palm Beach Avenue and the Gold Coast Highway influenced the sculptural design by the acclaimed Plus Architecture studio.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> locals understand the rare opportunity here at Corallo, particularly being the tallest building in the suburb and its proximity to the beach and local restaurants, and they’ve represented the bulk of pre-launch enquiries,” Higgins said.

“The orientation of the apartments captures views of the coastline from Surfers Paradise to Currumbin, and the diversity of floor plans and apartment types provide an exceptional level of choice.

“The first release includes just 59 one-, two and three-bedroom apartments and two half-floor penthouses, with flexible use designed to appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors."

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=799]

In addition to the ground floor amenity, residents will also have access to a private dedicated wellness level offering 734 sqm of resort-style amenities including a pool, cold plunge, wet deck, steam room, sauna, gym, day bed, fire pit, barbecue area, dining area and yoga/stretch deck.

The project is located within walking distance of Tallebudgera Creek, Burleigh Heads village, Currumbin Alley and Palm Beach Currumbin High School. The Gold Coast Airport is under 10 minutes away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=814]

Higgins said Palm Beach remained a hotly contested suburb for home buyers, with prices doubling in the past five years.

“What makes Corallo so appealing to the local market is the diversity of apartment types and pricing, with one-bedroom apartments starting from $841,000 and two-bedroom apartments starting from $1.34 million,” he said.

“The ground floor retail and dining offering will further expand on Palm Beach’s village atmosphere and create a meeting place for locals, and those opportunities for connection are highly valued.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=807]

The on-site sales display, which includes a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, will be open until early works commence in Q1 2026. Each residence at Corallo will feature premium finishes including natural stone, artisanal brickwork, and warm copper accents.

Changfa Group has a two-decade history of delivering premium developments in Australia and internationally, having recently completed its collection of premium townhomes at Lyra, Hope Island, as well as apartment projects in Leichhardt, Carlingford, and Chatswood in New South Wales.

$200 million Corallo Palm Beach launches with limited apartment release

In a move that aligns with NSW's accelerated planning incentives for affordable housing, developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/the-one-collection">One Collection</a> has revised its Hills District apartment plans, and taken it to the NSW Government, to secure approval.

The developer, which is currently delivering Horizon Hurstville, is seeking to add 80 more apartments to its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-castle-hill-16-dawes-avenue-nsw-2154">Castle Hill development</a> near Castle Towers. They already have approval for 280 apartments across eight six-storey buildings.

<img alt="One Collection" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3c298ba-1cc5-4db7-9872-607c75f8ceca" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=wN9KpFIu5ENSGZLLsaZgXQHrXcwEO3Vd" />

Now on the desks of the NSW Department of Planning is 360 apartments, 48 of which will be dedicated to affordable housing.&nbsp;Affordable housing is to be “fully integrated within the building and visually indistinguishable,” according to the planning submission.

The 15,697 sqm block, an amalgamation of 16 sites, spans across Dawes Avenue, Hughes Avenue, and Camdan Crescent, sits 550m from Hills Showground Metro Station.&nbsp;

"The existing context is quickly changing from free-standing homes into residential flat buildings in line with the Hills Showground Precinct planning framework," Place Studio noted.

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3ec24948-c185-48fa-af8b-ed25adf302bf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.04%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=zNDX.IeRROX1RlDeYcS38xn8w_dqgU2t" />

They said the design was informed by the site's unique condition of having three street frontages and was developed to to respond sensitively to iots surrounding context.

"The design adopted a conventional perpendicular alignment to the primary street frontage. The massing of the development was carefully modulated to align with the evolving character of the neighbourhood. The design ensured that the scale was not excessive or out of context, but instead contributed to a cohesive urban form consistent with emerging developments in the area."

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f83ffdaa-f960-469d-b6fe-abcece57c9ef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.09%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4oKlCyfaKes7jLi1_EMoqa46w2h_YvDZ" />

The apartment mix will be 46 one-beds, 168 two-bed apartments, and 146 three-bedroom units, with 631 parking spaces proposed.

Along the street frontages, the building heights are four storeys with a 7.5 metre setback, and eight storeys with an 11.5 metre setback. It should cost about $150 million to build.

One Collection works hand-in-hand with the respected development and construction firm Masscon, which has built a reputation for leveraging its expertise in the built environment to take on developments others can't. That's what they're achieving at Horizon Hurstville, having taken over the project to deliver it.

Cbus Property, is currently marketing the final opportunity to purchase a penthouse in Epping for the foreseeable future, with the release of the last remaining penthouse at its north-western Sydney development, The Langston.

The two-storey, five-bedroom residence is positioned on the uppermost floors of the tallest of three towers – the 29-storey Langston Tower – and has price expectations of circa $3.3 million.

According to Adrian Pozzo, Cbus Property’s Chief Executive Officer, a similar property is unlikely to become available in Epping for some time.

“With no new residential high-rise projects currently under construction in the Epping town centre, it will realistically be years before a penthouse of this size and calibre becomes available again,” Mr Pozzo said.

"We have already had significant interest in the property from local north-west Sydney downsizers, from areas such as Beecroft, Cheltenham and Carlingford, who are looking for something with comparable living space and status to their current homes.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29936 project_image_fid=90755]

The house-sized residence’s five bedrooms incorporating two equally sized master bedrooms with en suites, on separate levels.

Spanning two levels with more than 230 sqm&nbsp;of internal living space, there is plenty of room to enjoy the&nbsp;180-degree views that reach from the&nbsp;Sydney CBD to the south, all the way to the Blue Mountains to the west.

The wider Langston precinct provides a range of&nbsp;amenities, including a Pool Deck, Wellness Hub and Sky Lounge.

The Pool Deck incorporates a 20-metre pool and poolside cabanas, while the Wellness Hub features a well-appointed gym and yoga studio, and direct connection to the Pool Deck. Sky Lounge offers a landscaped terrace capturing views of the Sydney CBD skyline and the Blue Mountains, plus shared dining rooms&nbsp;spaces to celebrate special occasions.

There is also a residents-only podium-level gardens, featuring barbeques, casual seating areas, play zones and open green spaces, as well as shared co-working spaces.

April 2021: Adelaide's top luxury residences on the market right now

<html><body>
The penthouse apartment in BluePoint Property’s Palm Beach luxury development, 77 Jefferson, has sold for $3.8 million.

It marks the sell-out of the luxury Gold Coast development.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment spans across levels nine and 10 of the building.

Set over 464sqm, the residence offered floor-to-ceiling windows, private rooftop pool, integrated barbeque and sheltered dining for entertaining.

Designed by Bureau Proberts, 77 Jefferson offered 360 degree views of the ocean, hinterlands and Surfers Paradise in their full-floor residences.

All car spaces secure on ground level with no basements required, with other amenities including a communal recreation area with kitchenette, cinema and washroom.

The landscaping was by Bryns Lardner.

The penthouse was the last opportunity to buy in the building with all eight offerings now sold following its construction by Hutchinson Builders.

Olindah Property Group’s James Meredith and Nicole Riley marketed the property which was originally listed with an asking price of $3.995 million.

Prices within the development ranged between $1.29 million and $2.47 million, which saw all the full-floor residences sold within three months of launch.

BluePoint is directed by Marcus Dore, who prior to founding the company with Geordie Whitcombe, held positions with national companies including Walker Corporation, Mirvac and Colliers International.

Whitcombe was previously a development manager for Woolworths Limited, and ran his own development and advisory business.

The group's prior projects include East Palm Beach and Sea Palm Beach.

The penthouse at Fortis’ No.1 Carlisle development in Sydney’s Rose Bay, which was rumoured to have sold for an impressive $7.5 million last month, sold in less than three hours of launch.

Ray White agents Michael Finger and Di Wilson are rumoured to have secured $39,000 per sqm for the three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment.

Situated on the top floor of the four-storey 1 Carlisle Road complex, the development offers direct lift access into the private lobby, an entertainers’ terrace and built-in living joinery.

Designed by MHNDU and Lawless &amp; Meyerson, the home utilises layered natural materials and an architectural design that pays homage to the Art Deco period.

“There’s a recurring linear texture echoed around the apartment through fluted glass and routed stone”, said Jo Lawless of Lawless &amp; Meyerson.

The penthouse includes an entertainer’s kitchen, gas fireplace, butler’s pantry and skylights. Other features within the home include a privately-landscaped rooftop terrace styled by Wyer &amp; Co landscape architects.

Construction on the project is expected to reach completion in early 2022.

<h2>Rose Bay luxury residences</h2>

The downsizer market in Rose Bay has boomed with many developments gracing the eastern Sydney suburb. These include the recently sold-out Newcastle Street development, The Benson and Richmond Rose.

<figcaption>The Benson</figcaption></figure>Developed by Fortis, prices at the nine residence Benson project equated to $30,000 per sqm, with designs also completed by MHNDU and Wyer &amp; Co. The home’s interiors, which offered contemporary design, quality fixtures and pale-oak flooring, were designed by Hecker Guthrie.

Veteran children’s TV presenter Don Spencer purchased in the development just last month.  

Richmond Rose, developed by Kew Prestige, continues to offer available apartments at their 6-8 Richmond Road site.

Located at 62A Dover Road, the Aristocrat offers 22 two and three-bedroom configurations, a grand lobby, communal courtyard, a pool and a gym. Designed by PBD Architects, the homes include quality joinery, open-plan living and dining, spacious balconies and herringbone floors.

Gamuda Berhad through its local arm Gamuda Land has recently settled its first flagship Australian development at 661 Chapel St, South Yarra.

661 Chapel St represents the group’s first foray into the Australian market and the Bird de le Coeur designed development comprises 116 apartments across 30 levels with views tht extend over the heritage-listed Melbourne High School, the Yarra River and beyond to the Melbourne CBD skyline.

Believing in the quality of the project with its location, never to be built out views and strong design credentials, Gamuda Land bullishly began construction in April 2016 prior to launching the project, despite the usual 60% pre-sales required by Australian banks to commence construction.

The penthouse for 661 Chapel St is expected to fetch a record $22m and is being sold as a shell with David Hick’s engaged to design the fit-out, so the purchaser can completely customise the residence.

The penthouse is a 792 sqm residence over 3 levels and the design currently includes: 

<ul>
<li>3 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms</li>
	<li>Sauna</li>
	<li>Steam and shower room</li>
	<li>Gym and yoga room</li>
	<li>Cinema</li>
	<li>Study</li>
	<li>Wine cellar</li>
	<li>Butlers pantry (with secondary fully functional kitchen)</li>
	<li>Rooftop bar and private pool with courtyard</li>
	<li>Sweeping views from the CBD right out to the Dandenong ranges</li>
	<li>93 sqm of balcony space and 82 sqm of rooftop</li>
</ul>

<figcaption>The fit-out for the penthouse is completely customisable and has been designed by David Hicks. Image: Supplied</figcaption></figure>Urban.com.au spoke to Gamuda Land CEO Ngan Chee Meng prior to the official launch party to discuss 661 Chapel St, the penthouse and the companies ambitions for further development opportunities in Melbourne.

Urban.com.au: What was the appeal of Melbourne to Gamuda Land and more specifically South Yarra as a suburb?

Ngan Chee Meng: We see Australia, particularly Melbourne as a highly sought-after destination given its long-standing reputation as the world’s most liveable city, quality education and economic stability.

Location is key in our selection for development. We have found South Yarra to be one of the suburbs that could provide a fulfilling lifestyle given its convenience to our residents, with its close proximity to the CBD, public transport network, surrounding areas of greenery such as Royal Botanical Garden, Yarra river; artisanal cafes, boutiques and restaurants all within walking distance.

South Yarra also has a long-standing reputation as a highly sought after suburb, being in the inner east pocket of Melbourne and surrounded by other reputable suburbs such as Toorak.

UM: 661 Chapel St has a strong theme of artwork embedded in the design of its spaces from the moment you arrive, with Gamuda working closely with Andy Dinan of Mars Gallery. What was it like working with Andy Dinan?

NCM: We selected Andy and her gallery to curate the artwork in 661 Chapel St given her experience and background in public spaces. We had also wanted a selection of artwork that showcases works from emerging Australian artists that we believe will be a value add and worthy investment for the development.

We worked hand in hand with Andy and her team, as well as Bird de la Coeur, the project architect in curating the artwork selection in 661. It was a carefully thought out process and it was a pleasure working with them, we are very pleased with the outcome.

UM: With the majority of 661 Chapel St selling locally and to owner-occupiers, what is the expectation for the sale of the penthouse?

NCM: With the sheer scale of the penthouse, we anticipate it will likely attract an owner-occupier, who may have business interests in Melbourne given its inner urban location, or use the penthouse as a secondary or additional residence for their interests/family use.

Image: Supplied" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>The penthouse has expansive views of the CBD skyline. Image: Supplied</figcaption></figure>UM: David Hick's will be on hand to customise the design of the penthouse which is currently being sold as a shell. What was the process for selecting David and what factors influenced your decision for selecting him?

NCM: We wanted David to design this penthouse as a ‘one-off’, one-of-a-kind penthouse for 661 Chapel St. While he is a local Melburnian, David’s vast international experience is also a key factor in our selection. We felt David understood what a 
penthouse of this calibre could look like for not just the local market, but also those from overseas, whether it is in Asia, Europe or America given his experience, diverse yet distinctive style.

UM: The views back towards the CBD over Melbourne High are unlikely to ever be built out? Do you see this as a major selling point of the development?

NCM: Definitely. Being in this pocket of South Yarra and Melbourne itself, not being built out is a rare luxury. There are not many developments that can offer never to be built out views and not have the residents look into the next building/apartment in their surrounds from the apartment. This has been one of our strongest selling points.

UM: Gamuda Land has already expressed a desire to develop further projects in Melbourne. Is a return to South Yarra on the cards or is Gamuda looking all over Melbourne for opportunities?

NCM: Being our maiden project in Australia, we wanted to build on our experience here. 661 Chapel St is a considerably smaller project for us when we compare it to what we have in our portfolio, but it is a good stepping-stone for us and allowed us to meet the market’s needs.

Moving forward, we will definitely continue to look for opportunities in Melbourne, and we are in the enviable position to handpick strategic landbanks with great potential to be transformed into value creating assets.

The South Yarra-bound Village Roadshow director Graham Burke sold his four bedroom St Kilda sub-penthouse late last year.
The price has come through recently at $5.05 million for the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-apartment-vic-st+kilda-123488322" target="_blank" style="font-size: 12.16px;">eighth floor Esplanade complex apartment</a> that cost Burke and wife Robyn $7.3 million when settled in 2007.
The couple bought the apartment off the plan from developer Max Beck, and had a hand in its interiors design through Stephen Jolson Architects.
It was a collaboration between Melbourne's highly-awarded Fender Katsalidis Architects and British-Italian minimalist architect, Claudio Silvestrin and Hecker Phelan &amp; Guthrie.
Developed behind the Espy Hotel, it comes with an internal area of 538 square metres, plus two two terraces that take the space to 600 sqm.
