The residential transformation of St Kilda Road is set to continue into with more new apartment plans for the sought-after boulevard.

Wing Tai Asia has lodged plans for a major residential tower at 464-466 St Kilda Road, replacing the former VACC House with an 18-storey mixed-use development designed around a retained heritage podium and a sculpted contemporary tower.

The proposal, prepared under Victoria’s Significant Residential Development with Affordable Housing pathway, would deliver 325 apartments and ground-floor retail across the prominent 4,653 sqm boulevard site in Melbourne’s St Kilda Road North Precinct.

The project centres on the adaptive reuse of the site’s heritage-listed VACC Building, an eight-storey office designed by Bernard Evans that has occupied the address for decades. Planning documents state the development would involve “carefully dismantling and conserving off-site the original metal fabric of the podium visible from St Kilda Road,” before reinstating it as the defining frontage of the new scheme.

Above the restored podium, Wing Tai is proposing a curvilinear residential tower. The scheme includes 172 one-bedroom apartments, 63 two-bedroom apartments, 66 three-bedroom apartments, and 24 four-bedroom apartments, alongside two ground-floor food and beverage tenancies fronting St Kilda Road.

The tower has been designed with substantial articulation and variable setbacks to minimise perceived bulk and maintain view corridors along the boulevard. Urbis, which prepared the planning report, said the design “has been significantly articulated through a curvilinear design” with “an interplay with materials, façade expression and depth” to create visual separation and visual interest.

The proposal also includes 254 basement car spaces, landscaped pedestrian links connecting St Kilda Road and Queens Lane, and a biophilic landscape strategy featuring canopy trees, raised planters, cascading greenery and a glass oculus pool overlooking the eastern frontage.

Planning documents confirm the $270.1 million development will contribute 3 per cent of project costs to the Social Housing Growth Fund as part of the application process.

Wing Tai acquired the St Kilda Road property in 2018 alongside Abacus Property Group for $95.38 million, before later consolidating ownership of the site. The property previously served as the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce headquarters for around 60 years.

The transformation of the St Kilda Rd boulevard is already beginning to materialise, with a number of high-profile projects recently completed, launched, or approaching launch as developers continue to back the long-term appeal of the precinct.

Among the most notable recent completions is Louise by Samuel Property Group, just off the strip on Queens Lane, the same pocket Hirsch &amp; Faigen recently launched The Queensbury. Mirvac is too on the same street with The Albertine, which is approaching completion.

Dexus recently secured approval for its slice of St Kilda Road, while Gurner also has approved plans for the precinct.

Wing Tai unveils 325-apartment St Kilda Road tower on former VACC House site

Malaysian developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> is the latest to jump into St Leonards booming Transport Oriented Development precinct.

The developer, which has previously delivered Sapphire by the Gardens apartment development in Melbourne, identified the Atchison Street site in 2023. It filed a Scoping Report around 12 months ago, and now has revealed the designs for the new&nbsp;40-storey mixed-use tower.

The State Significant Development Application covers <a href="https://next-portal.urban.com.au/projects/14650/summary">20-22 Atchison Street</a>, a 1,374 sqm site positioned between St Leonards Station and the new Crows Nest Metro station.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the project would deliver 181 apartments, above a four-storey commercial podium, five basement levels, and new public domain works along Mitchell Street. The apartment mix comprises 35 one-bedroom apartments, 39 one-bedroom-plus-study apartments, 85 two-bedroom apartments, and 22 three-bedroom residences.

The proposal has been lodged as a shop-top housing development under the NSW Government’s TOD planning pathway, which allows increased density around key transport infrastructure. The site sits within the recently rezoned Crows Nest Accelerated TOD Precinct.

<img alt="First look: SP Setia targets St Leonards skyline with 40-storey TOD tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b799673d-48e2-46b0-801a-0e33a9330100" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/atchinson%20site.png?VersionId=dPh0UfwfaHpbFL1R7H1cbZNbIW0CHbCC" />

SP Setia acquired the Atchison Street site as part of its continued expansion into the Australian apartment market. In comments made to City &amp; Country (The Edge Malaysia) in 2023, SP Setia President and CEO Datuk Choong Kai Wai described the acquisition as “a strategic move” aligned with the group’s post-pandemic market recovery strategy.

“Our target for this exceptional development is local and overseas buyers, including first-home buyers, downsizers and investors,” Choong said.

The tower has been designed as a slender vertical form rising from a mixed-use podium, with COX Architecture positioning the development as a response to the evolving St Leonards and Crows Nest skyline.

“The purpose of the project is to facilitate the delivery of high-quality housing at a strategically located site and deliver a built tower outcome that is consistent with the desired future character of St Leonards and aligns with the TOD controls,” the design report stated.

<img alt="First look: SP Setia targets St Leonards skyline with 40-storey TOD tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b1a85eee-76f7-436c-a6da-73ba827b9b13" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/atchinson%20entry.png?VersionId=dA9jHGPMcm.dDbwk4QfxqWiY5bfh3UVt" />

The podium would incorporate retail uses fronting Atchison Street, commercial tenancies, landscaped communal areas, and pedestrian improvements along Mitchell Street. Vehicle access and loading would be consolidated via Atchison Lane.

Residents would have access to more than 665 sqm of communal indoor and outdoor spaces, while the development proposes 96 parking spaces across five basement levels.

The proposal also includes a commitment for 10 per cent of residential floor space to be allocated toward affordable housing through a monetary contribution.

COX said the tower form responds directly to the emerging high-density character of the precinct while seeking to maximise solar access, cross ventilation, and outlook from apartments.

“The building is orientated towards north,” the Apartment Design Guide compliance report noted, adding that the tower’s slim form was driven by the constrained inner-urban site dimensions.

The design also incorporates landscaped setbacks and communal open space at podium level, intended to soften the interface with surrounding streets and improve pedestrian amenity.

The project adds to a growing wave of redevelopment proposals reshaping St Leonards and Crows Nest following the opening of the Sydney Metro City line and the NSW Government’s push for higher-density housing around major transport nodes.

Last week Stockland filed plans just down the road. They want to build a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/601-pacific-highway-st-leonards-nsw-2065">52-storey tower on Pacific Highway</a>.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/urban-property-group">Urban Property Group</a> has revealed plans for a new mixed-use tower at 10 Dangar Street, Wickham, advancing a proposal that would reshape the southern gateway to Newcastle’s city centre with one of the city’s tallest residential buildings.

The State Significant Development proposal, now on exhibition, seeks approval for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/bowline-10-dangar-street-wickham-nsw-2293">43-storey tower</a> immediately adjacent to the Newcastle Interchange. The project would deliver around 200 apartments, including 42 affordable housing dwellings, alongside 99 co-living units, a 171-room hotel, retail space, and new public domain integrated through the site.

The scheme marks a significant escalation of plans previously approved for the site. Urban Property Group took over the prominent 2,904 sqm parcel, where excavation and demolition had already commenced under an earlier consent for a 14-storey mixed-use development.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="58a96dd9-407f-4d20-86b4-94e4bfeef74b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20podium.png?VersionId=LGlf08pdFGAZDzvx_CXC4XakHNZRuEE0" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, the tower has been conceived as a landmark transit-oriented development anchored to the Newcastle Interchange precinct. The proposal includes 245 build-to-sell apartments across a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom residences, as well as two penthouses. Fifteen apartments and one operational unit are earmarked for NDIS housing. The co-living component would add a further 99 units, while the podium would accommodate retail uses and hotel facilities.

SJB said the site presents “a valuable opportunity to anchor the precinct by setting the standard for design, active ground planes and character at the key southern gateway.”

The architecture responds directly to the site’s position beside major transport infrastructure and within one of Newcastle’s fastest-evolving urban renewal precincts. The tower form sits above a sculpted podium designed to frame new public spaces, including a through-site pedestrian link connecting Station Street to Hannell Street, landscaped plazas, and activated retail edges.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a7bd6ff0-f7db-4ce8-a6dc-ea56e72c6149" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20lanne.png?VersionId=xzf39VADyhj7zBQY2I9fx9vI62u2tuSb" />

The design report describes the project as part of the broader transition of Wickham into “a vibrant, high-quality mixed-use urban precinct” that leverages proximity to the station, open space, and regional connectivity.

A detailed public art strategy has also been prepared for the development. The strategy positions the project as “a transit-oriented development of state significance at the gateway to Newcastle’s city centre” and outlines a series of integrated artworks responding to Newcastle’s industrial and transport heritage.

Creative Road’s curatorial framework for the project, titled Unveil, draws on “stratified surfaces, carved volumes, and light-filled apertures” while referencing Newcastle’s transformation from an industrial city into a contemporary education and technology hub.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="77a882bb-14b1-4d28-99ff-9438e39508c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20site.png?VersionId=cevgo_vN0eKPK78P8YcEu3mKPLkpFqE7" />

The proposal is being advanced through the NSW Housing Delivery Authority pathway after being declared State Significant Development in June 2025. The accompanying scoping report states the development aims to “maximise the site’s proximity to the Newcastle Interchange by delivering transit-oriented development” while increasing housing supply and affordable housing provision within the Newcastle LGA.

Urban Property Group’s plans align with the long-term strategic vision established under the Wickham Master Plan, which identified the interchange precinct as suitable for substantial uplift in height and density. The current proposal would significantly intensify that vision, positioning the tower among the tallest developments proposed for Newcastle.

The site sits immediately north of the Newcastle Interchange, bounded by Dangar Street, Hannell Street, and Charles Street. It is surrounded by a rapidly growing cluster of residential towers and mixed-use projects that have emerged following the completion of the light rail and transport interchange.

Bottega House has completed settlement of a landmark riverfront site in Macquarie Street, St Lucia, representing its first major Brisbane development.&nbsp;

Positioned on the banks of the Brisbane River, the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/180-macquarie-street-st-lucia-qld-4067">premium site at 180 Macquarie Street</a> features uninterrupted river frontage in one of Brisbane’s most tightly held residential precincts.&nbsp;

The proposed development, currently under assessment with Brisbane City Council, has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-studio">Plus Studio</a> with interiors by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/mim-design">Mim Design</a> and will deliver a boutique collection of premium residences positioned specifically for owner occupiers and downsizers.&nbsp;

The residences are set to redefine luxury apartment living in the area, with a focus on architectural quality, refined finishes, landscape integration and elevated amenities including curated wellness facilities, resort-style pools and recreation spaces rarely seen in the local market.&nbsp;

Exclusive sales for the project will be led by Keenan &amp; Byrne, ahead of an anticipated launch later this year.&nbsp;

Bottega House Managing Director Nick Malloch said the project reflects the group’s ambition to deliver a highly curated residential offering within one of Brisbane’s most tightly held precincts.&nbsp;

“This is an incredibly rare riverfront opportunity and one we have approached with a long-term perspective,” Malloch said.&nbsp;

“Our vision from the outset was to create a boutique collection of residences that feel more like private homes than traditional apartments, with generous proportions, refined finishes and exceptional amenity throughout."

Malloch says there is a&nbsp;lack of premium owner-occupier stock of this quality in the market, particularly for downsizers wanting space, privacy and a true lifestyle offering without compromise.&nbsp;

"Demand is expected to be strong given the scarcity of premium riverfront opportunities of this nature within Brisbane’s inner-west."&nbsp;

The arrival of the first piling rig officially marks the commencement of construction at SIERA’s new beachside apartment development, Exhale, in Northcliffe.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/exhale-surfers-paradise-8-enderley-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Exhale</a>, a glass-encased tower featuring 54 large-scale apartments at 8 Enderley Avenue, is SIERA’s third Gold Coast development. It follows the recently completed PIPIS Bilinga beachfront project, which achieved suburb-record prices, and the soon-to-be-completed Chevron Island development, Tapestry.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=359603]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/siera">SIERA</a> Founder and Managing Director Brent Thompson said the arrival of the piling rig represented a significant milestone for the development, which is scheduled for completion in late 2028.

Over the next month, around 260 piles are expected to be installed as work progresses on the basement structure. The building is anticipated to rise above ground level early next year, before unveiling its sculptural glass curtain wall, developed in collaboration with specialist façade engineers.

“The façade was designed to maximise panoramic coastal views while creating a distinctive architectural identity,” Thompson said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=355935]

Designed by BDA Architecture, Exhale will comprise just 54 two- and three-bedroom residences across 26 levels, a level of low-density living rarely delivered in this beachside pocket between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach.

The project has been conceived as a resident-only building, with no short-stay accommodation permitted. SIERA says the model is intended to appeal to long-term owner-occupiers rather than transient holiday demand.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=361052]

Residences have been designed with large-format layouts and expansive glazing, with most apartments featuring more than 30 metres of glass frontage to maximise natural light and ocean views.

The amenity offering spans two levels and centres on wellness and lifestyle, including a heated magnesium pool, sauna, yoga and Pilates studio, gymnasium, private dining facilities, cinema lounge, and dedicated surfcraft storage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=359607]

More than half of the apartments have already sold. SIERA has also opened a sales gallery for Exhale at its Chevron Island commercial premises, near its Tapestry tower and the site of its second Chevron Island apartment development, which is slated to launch in early 2027.

In a bid to improve housing supply and affordability, the Western Australian Government further built on the states rebates for off the plan apartments back in May this year.&nbsp;

Conceived as part of the state’s largest budget, the new $50,000 rebate is in place for purchasers of off the plan apartments until the end of October 2023.&nbsp;

There is a sliding scale for concessions for a pre-construction contract entered into between 1 June 2022 and 24 October 2023.

Buyers will see 100 per cent of the duty paid by the WA Government if the property is&nbsp;valued at $500,000 or less, capped at a maximum of $50,000

There will be between 100 per cent and 50 per cent of the duty paid if the property is valued at more than $500,000 but less than $600,000.

Then from $600,000 plus, 50 per cent of the duty is paid, capped at a maximum of $50,000.

Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan said the budget measure was focused on lifting housing supply while addressing unaffordability.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8516 project_image_fid=205534]

“The measures would create a pipeline of more affordable homes into the future, while also providing greater assistance to those seeking to purchase homes at the affordable end of the market, and aim to smooth the construction pipeline beyond the current boom in activity,” he said.&nbsp;

Stirling Capital's Cirque Duet has apartments that will see buyers pay $0 stamp duty. Prices start from $495,000 for the one-bedroom stock in the resort-inspired Mount Pleasant development.

Conceived as twin towers, Cirque Duet residences are connected above street level through an expansive podium of more than 3,000 sqm, housing the project's extensive amenity offering.&nbsp;

From a heated swimming pool to a children’s playground, Cirque Duet offers up some of the best Perth has to offer.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8516 project_image_fid=191424]

The podium also features a spa and sauna, a gym, private dining rooms, cabanas, a cocktail bar, and barbecue facilities.&nbsp;

The amenity continues inside as well, with residents treated to a luxury cinema to watch all the latest blockbusters from the comfort of their own home, and a library.&nbsp;

Along the ground floor, the hotel-inspired lobbies also feature a concierge desk and access to a business centre and meeting room.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=8516]

Soaring above the Canning River, Stirling Capital's Cirque Duet lends its hand to the Government’s stamp duty rebates, offering a selection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

Buyers pay cut-price stamp duty at Perth's Cirque Duet apartments in Mount Pleasant

As sustainability continues to be high on property buyers’ shopping lists, a number of Perth developers are honing in on future-forward and environmental designs, and one way they’re being recognised is through Green Star ratings.&nbsp;

Launched by Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) in 2003, Green Star is Australia’s largest voluntary and truly holistic sustainability rating system for buildings, fitouts and communities.

Green Star aims to reduce the impact of climate change by promoting developments and communities that support a more sustainable way of life, with all projects displaying a Green Star Certification Trademark having passed a thorough, independent and transparent assessment process to verify their contribution towards a healthier tomorrow.

Green Star offers a number of long-term benefits to both people and the environment, including water-saving initiatives, the use of renewable energy, stronger investment returns, higher quality designs, curated healthy communities, fewer greenhouse gas emissions and clearer pathways to achieving carbon neutral buildings.&nbsp;

With only a handful of developments on the West Coast having achieved the lauded 5 Star Green Star rating, we’ve wrapped up the top 5 Star Green Star rated apartments selling now.

<h1>Florin Parkside</h1>

Prominent Perth developers Stirling Capital kick off our list with the group striving to implement a number of sustainable features across all of their developments.&nbsp;

With a 5 Star Green Star rating in both Stirling’s Florin Parkside and Cirquet Duet, Stirling demonstrate an understanding of excellence in sustainability.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108682 project_image_fid=200530]

The group’s Jolimont project, Florin Parkside, boasts a number of sustainable design features, including ceiling fans, energy-efficient lighting and appliances, a highly efficient heat pump water system, and 40kW solar helping the project reach the mark.&nbsp;

All common areas are also serviced by 100 per cent renewable energy, while extensive landscaping ensures the living spaces are directly connected to nature, blending seamlessly with the neighbouring park.

These benefits also help to keep living costs down for residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108682 project_image_fid=200537]

The $37 million project will deliver 63 residences to the Jolimont area, with the family-sized apartments offering sweeping views to the neighbouring park and CBD skyline.

One, two three and four-bedroom apartments are still remaining in the project, with completion slated for the back-end of 2023.

<h1>Cirque Duet&nbsp;</h1>

Soaring above the Canning River is Stirling’s Cirque Duet.

The deliberately sculptural building presents as two organically shaped towers, connected by a fourth floor 4000 sqm recreational podium.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8516 project_image_fid=205534]

Much like Florin, Cirque is packed with a string of sustainable and environmentally-driven design features, and was actually the first Western Australia development to be awarded a 5 Star Green Star rating.&nbsp;

The elegant butterfly-wing profile of the towers is instantly recognisable from any point on the river but its purpose is more than simply decorative.

Cirque's unique shape and orientation cleverly reduces the perception of volume and opens upsweeping, uninterrupted panoramas for every resident, with the butterfly effect extending in to the building’s very heart with low-energy construction methods, a sustainable design approach and passive cooling techniques just some of the reason’s it’s been awarded 5-starGreen Star status

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8516 project_image_fid=191420]

With a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, each have been oriented to take advantage of the panoramic views across the Canning and Swan River’s, to the Perth CBD and the Eastern Hills.&nbsp;

Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout not only maximise these outlooks but also allow an abundant amount of natural light to flood into each of the residences’ living spaces.&nbsp;

<h1>The Precinct&nbsp;</h1>

Boutique developers Norup + Wilson also make the list with their apartment development, The Precinct.

Located at 893 Canning Highway, the 5 Star Green Star-rated project is a 21-storey community on the high-point of the Mount Pleasant and Applecross peninsula.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=203934]

Some of the Green Star features included here include solar cells on the rooftop, complemented by lifts that create power on every down movement.&nbsp;

The Precinct also features sensor lights in all common areas and car parks, along with WELS approved ratings on all taps and showers, energy-efficient lights and appliances, rain sensors for the reticulation system, VRV air-conditioning systems, and carbon monoxide alarms to carparking to ensure fans only run when required.

With Norup + Wilson paying particular focus on the design process, The Precinct will also offer low strata fees, due in part to the numerous Green Star Rating features.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=203925]

The one, two and three-bedroom apartments are located on levels three to sixteen, with the next four floors dedicated to the exclusive Sky Homes, which enjoy privileged access to the top floor residents Sky Lounge.

Regardless of the level selected all residents enjoy views to the ever-changing Swan and Canning River’s leafy surrounds, along with high-tech inclusions, through access to the Norup + Wilson App, allowing residents to control each home’s intercom, lights, and air conditioning from a mobile device.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=203932]

All residents also have access to a host of facilities and amenities, including indoor and outdoor gyms, a pool with cabana day beds, barbecue facilities, a common lounge and library, media room and a kid’s playroom.

<h1>The Pearl&nbsp;</h1>

Prosper Living round out the 5 Star Green Star Perth offerings, with their South Perth development, The Pearl.&nbsp;

Inspired by the Swan River – the ancient Derbarl Yerrigan – the building’s slender silhouette is animated by a shimmering facade that reflects the light from river and sky, while organic curved balconies sweep across the facade.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203301]

Built to 5-star sustainability levels, The Pearl exceeds solar access levels, with every apartment having access to natural light and cross ventilation, allowing gentle breezes through the living areas, no matter its position in the building. A spectacular ‘green spine’ softens the facade and provides light and greenery into the lobby of every level.

“Ultimately, The Pearl is about offering its residents a superb lifestyle in a building designed around luxury, comfort, convenience and sustainability,” says Prosper Living.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203302]

With 137 one, two and three-bedroom apartments plus three four-bedroom skyhomes, The Pearl benefits from being surrounded by a range of local amenities along with exclusive residents-only features.

On level three, residents will have exclusive access to a protected landscaped terrace with an infinity edge pool, a massage room, private seating alcoves, gardens, and a barbecue with an enclosed outdoor dining area, along with other amenities, including a gym, sauna, steam room, yoga deck, a theatre, games room, resident’s lounge and dining room and a temperature-controlled wine room.&nbsp;

With only a handful of developments on the West Coast having achieved the lauded 5 Star Green Star rating, we’ve wrapped up the top 5 Star Green Star rated apartments selling now.



Perth's top four off the plan apartment developments with a 5 Star Green Star rating

Work is set to begin on Iris Residential’s The Terraces, Claremont development early in 2023, with BGC Construction appointed to build what is expected to be Australia’s most sustainable large-scale apartment project.&nbsp;

The local construction group will soon begin building the $150 million development, in is the final piece of the puzzle in DevelopmentWA's sought-after Claremont on the Park precinct.&nbsp;

The eight-storey, 137-apartment luxury building, which is scheduled for completion by late 2024, will set a new benchmark for sustainable residential development in Australia – with the project achieving an industry-leading average 8.05-star Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) rating.

NatHERS ratings are used to predict the amount of heating or cooling dwellings need to stay comfortable in all weather conditions. In Australia, residential developments are required to meet a minimum 6-star NatHERS standard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111894 project_image_fid=190182]

Iris Residential Managing Director, Simon Trevisan said the 8.05-star rating is something they don’t believe has been achieved in any other large-scale residential development anywhere in Australia.

“Most apartment developments of this size come in at the 7 to 7.5-star level, and certainly we haven’t been able to find anything comparable out there in the market either here in Western Australia or on the east coast.”&nbsp;

The highest-rated residences at the HASSELL-designed project reach 9.7 stars on the 10-star scale, which means those apartments are virtually self-lighting and self-climate controlled, while close to 30 per cent of the apartments at The Terraces will achieve a 9-star NatHERS rating.

A comprehensive suite of sustainability features will reduce energy use by 35 per cent, including natural cross ventilation over 92 per cent of residences and a 40 per cent reduction in internal lighting energy consumption.

Double glazing, sliding balcony screens, enhanced breezeways and a northerly orientation for all apartments will ensure buyers are comfortable year-round, no matter the weather, without having to rely on artificial heating or cooling.

Trevisan said he anticipated sustainability performance at The Terraces would resonate strongly with buyers on a number of fronts.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111894 project_image_fid=190170]

“This is what sustainable design is about – there are no compromises, no greenwashing,” he said.&nbsp;

“The greenhouse gas emissions benefit via electricity use reduction is real and measurable, and the cost savings from significantly lower power bills are also tangible. A strong sustainability performance means reduced costs for homeowners, whether we’re talking about their power bills or strata levies.

“A more intangible, though absolutely important, benefit is the quality of life that comes from living in a space filled with natural light and fresh air. First and foremost we’re about delivering comfortable homes for people, and it should be the most comfortable home we can provide,”&nbsp;Trevisan added.

Located along the boundary of the historic Claremont Oval, The Terraces sit in the heart of the affluent Claremont locale, set to take advantage of all the area has to offer, with the suburb home to river vistas, leafy parklands and many of Perth’s most exclusive boutique retail outlets.

Residents at The Terraces will also benefit from the close proximity to Claremont train station, now offering direct access to the new Forrestfield-Airport METRONET link, reducing the need for car travel and further adding to the development’s sustainability credentials.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111894 project_image_fid=190179]

Trevisan said sustainability was a key element in Iris Residential’s development strategy, acknowledging that residential developers had a big role to play in achieving emissions reductions targets.

“Iris has been a leader in sustainable development in Western Australia for decades, it’s a key part of our point of difference in the apartments space,” he said.

“According to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and water, energy use in residential buildings accounts for 24 per cent of overall electricity use and 12 per cent of total carbon emissions.

“By increasing energy efficiency, households not only enjoy lower energy bills but have higher quality of life, while also being satisfied in the knowledge that they are making a real contribution to addressing climate change.”

The Terraces will join BGC’s already sustainable portfolio, with the Western Australian builders committed to creating environmentally-friendly developments.&nbsp;

“We have a desire to reduce environmental impacts as effectively as we can, with a strong focus on positive environmental outcomes,” they say.&nbsp;

“We place an emphasis on targeting projects with a significant environmental design factor.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111894 project_image_fid=190173]

BGC has also strung together a list of awards over their time, most recently being awarded the 2022 MBA WA Excellence in Construction award for the best regional project.&nbsp;

The group previously worked on Iris’ Shenton Park project, Shenton Quarter, which is slated for completion by early next year.&nbsp;

The mixed-use development was one of the first projects to be endorsed by the State Design Review Panel and was commended for its best-practice sustainability features, which have been designed to achieve the equivalent of a 4-star Green Star rating.

DevelopmentWA acting Chief Executive Dean Mudford said close consultancy with town planning firm Element will ensure that The Terraces will integrate seamlessly into the multi award-winning precinct, Claremont on the Park.

“As the Western Australian Government’s development agency, DevelopmentWA has a critical role in helping lead the way to a more sustainable way of living – ensuring the communities and projects we deliver demonstrate new, smarter ways to live and work,” Mudford said.&nbsp;

“At Claremont on the Park, sustainable development has been a fundamental part of our vision in creating this thriving, connected and award-winning precinct, and it’s been really pleasing to see industry embrace that vision as the project has taken shape."

“With what is expected to be a nation-leading sustainability performance, The Terraces is an outstanding example of what can be achieved as part of a master-planned and focused approach to precinct-scale development,” he added.&nbsp;&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111894 project_image_fid=190180]

Australian private debt provider, Metrics Credit Partners, funded the acquisition of the land in 2021 and continues to support the project as it moves through to the development phase.

Metrics Managing Partner Andrew Lockhart said that from a lender’s point of view, the sustainability outcomes of The Terraces improved the marketability of the finished residences, helping to mitigate credit risks.

“ESG and sustainability factors are at the heart of Metrics’ approach to assessing and managing risk for investors,” Lockhart said.

“We are delighted to see such great alignment between the developer, buyers and financiers to achieve meaningful advances in the sustainability factors for residential developments – and these are clearly demonstrated in The Terraces.”

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=111894]

The eight-storey, 137-apartment luxury building, which is scheduled for completion by late 2024, will set a new benchmark for sustainable residential development in Australia – with the project achieving an industry-leading average 8.05-star Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) rating.

Australia’s greenest apartments set to take shape in Claremont

Construction has commenced on the South Perth project, One Richardson, with one of Perth’s leading multi-residential and mixed-use builders on the task, Emco.&nbsp;

Developed by Subiaco-based developers, Devwest, One Richardson will deliver a collection of 75 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, along with a series of two-storey penthouses.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7809 project_image_fid=203882]

Over 50 per cent of the apartments have already sold in the project, which have been designed by MJA Studio.&nbsp;

Sitting atop a ground floor cafe, as well as a welcoming resident’s lobby, each apartment has been architecturally designed to suit a range of lifestyles and buyers.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The project also leverages on its enviable Swan River location.&nbsp;

Overlooking Richardson Park, One Richardson fronts an expansive public open space, which delivers not only park fronting apartments, but also creates uninterrupted river views, which are normally only attained in high rise developments, brimming with residences.&nbsp; &nbsp;

One Richardson offers a large range of leading sustainability initiatives to help reduce the development’s environmental footprint, including features such as solar energy to common areas, energy efficient lighting and appliances, water efficient tapware and fixtures, electric storage units, solar efficient glazing and more.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7809 project_image_fid=203877]

Centrally located on the corner of Richardson Street and Melville Parade, One Richardson enjoys views to the Swan River, along with a residential communal area located on the third floor, complete with barbecue facilities and lush landscaping.&nbsp;

Devwest have taken to transforming the Perth property market, with a number of projects currently in the works and recently completed including, The Bradshaw Residences in Manning and the soon to be launched, Olive Street apartments, which will form part of the revitalisation of Subiaco.

Over 50 per cent of the apartments have already sold in the project, which have been designed by MJA Studio. 

Construction underway on South Perth apartments, One Richardson

Over the last few years, as people are spending more time in their home and working remotely, resident amenity in apartment towers has gone up several notches.

Resident amenity can be the defining factor in a buyer's decision to secure an apartment in one development over another, and developers are becoming wise to that fact.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203301]

Cygnet West's Director of Residential Projects, Sales and Marketing, Greg Billings&nbsp;says buyers are very well educated on the latest trends.

“Buyers know what they want in both design and specification - with the specification having the ability to make or break a project,” Mr Billings said.&nbsp;

One development ticking all the boxes on buyers’ lists is Prosper Living’s South Perth apartment project, The Pearl.

The Pearl’s amenities have been designed as an extension of the apartments, with Prosper Living’s CEO, Maggie Cai saying they provide a place for residents to interact with one another, and to relax without the need to maintain the facilities themselves.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203302]

“To reflect the beautiful Swan River and leafy parklands of South Perth, The Pearl uses many natural elements within the amenity level. From considered landscaping to herb gardens and citrus trees, residents will enjoy a tranquil oasis,” Ms Cai said.&nbsp;

“Residents can enjoy the beautiful river views from the resident's lounge, while the facilities also provide a place for wellness and well-being in which residents can escape from the busy city lifestyle without the need to travel.”

“The Pearl's amenities are like a resort hub for residents,” Ms Cai added.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Mr Billings highlighted how important the location was in the final design of the project, saying location is key, with buyers seeking walkability to shopping and restaurants, along with easy access to the city.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203307]

“Whilst there are various projects approved in the South Perth area already, it is likely future development will compromise the views for some of those projects,” he said.&nbsp;

“The majority of the apartments in The Pearl will have ‘forever views’ and with South Perth so keenly sought after by many buyers due to its proximity to the CBD and amenity, The Pearl has positioned itself as one of the stand out projects in the area.”

A variety of buyer demographics have been flocking to The Pearl, with predominately owner-occupiers securing apartments in the building.

That’s where the focus on the curated amenities particularly come into play, says Mr Billings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203306]

“The typical owner-occupier comes from a larger home and likely has many of these amenities in their existing property. Moving to The Pearl means they enjoy the use of the gardens and pool, plus the additional amenities, without having to manage or maintain them," Mr Billings concluded.

With sustainability also high on the buyer shopping list, a number of developers have looked to achieve environmental excellence in design and construction, with The Pearl meeting these standards with a 5 Star Green Star rating.&nbsp;

Spacious one-bedroom apartments with river views, start from $515,000 at The Pearl.

Coupled with a range of two, three and four-bedroom apartments, The Pearl has a home to suit everyone.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=9197]

The Pearl’s amenities have been designed as an extension of the apartments, with Prosper Living’s CEO, Maggie Cai saying they provide a place for residents to interact with one another, and to relax without the need to maintain the facilities themselves. 

Creating an extension to the apartment space: Inside The Pearl, an amenity-rich development

Perth locals, Stirling Capital, have long had a desire to produce sustainable and environmentally conscious projects.

The group, led by Managing Director, Luke Reinecke, incorporates designs with embedded networks that use smart metres, renewable energy sources such as solar panels, and measures to optimise energy savings for residents of every project.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108682 project_image_fid=200530]

“Sustainability is integral to every brief we provide to our architects – from water and energy efficiency to materials selection and other initiatives, we consider sustainability throughout every stage of every project to ensure optimum environmental performance from the ground up.”

Stirling’s Jolimont project, Florin, follows suit with the group’s sustainable ambitions, with the Parkside residences achieving a 5 Star Green Star rating.

Launched by Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) in 2003, Green Star is Australia’s largest voluntary and truly holistic sustainability rating system for buildings, fit-outs and communities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108682 project_image_fid=200529]

Green Star aims to reduce the impact of climate change by promoting developments and communities that support a more sustainable way of life, with all projects displaying a Green Star Certification Trademark passing through an independent assessment process.

With a 5 Star Green Star rating, Florin represents Australian Excellence in sustainability, with features such as ceiling fans, energy-efficient lighting and appliances, a highly efficient heat pump water system, and 40kW solar helping the project reach the mark.

All common areas are also serviced by 100 per cent renewable energy, while extensive landscaping ensures the living spaces are directly connected to nature, blending seamlessly with the neighbouring park.

These benefits also help to keep living costs down for residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108682 project_image_fid=200535]

The $37 million project will deliver 63 residences to the Jolimont area, with the family-sized apartments offering sweeping views to the neighbouring park and CBD skyline.

One, two three and four-bedroom apartments are still remaining in the project, with completion slated for the back-end of 2023.
