Construction is now underway at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/cumulus-grand-villas-carrara-17-baltimore-court-carrara-qld-4211">Cumulus Grand Villas</a> in Carrara, with all stages fully funded as <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/venturecrowd-property-projects">VentureCrowd</a> progresses its 59-residence gated community on an elevated ridgeline overlooking 100 hectares of natural savanna.

The commencement marks a key milestone for the Gold Coast project, designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a> and being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/devcon">Devcon Property Group</a>, at a time when buyers are placing greater emphasis on delivery certainty and builder track record.

With Devcon active in South East Queensland since 1993 and having delivered more than 1,000 homes, the team is positioning Cumulus as a fully financed, under-construction offering in a market where risk mitigation has become a central consideration for off-the-plan purchasers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360496]

Located at 17 Baltimore Court, Cumulus Grand Villas comprises 59 three- and four-bedroom villas across four collections, Skyline, Canopy, Savanna and Broadview. Pricing starts from $1,455,000, with completion of the first stage targeted for Q4 2026.

Across the four collections, each design represents an expansive and thoughtfully considered offering. The Broadview provides additional flexibility within its floorplan, incorporating a multipurpose room or optional additional bedroom, and is priced from $1,895,000.&nbsp;

Configured across two levels, the four-bedroom villas feature two master bedrooms with private ensuites, as well as a multipurpose room (MPR), supporting intergenerational living, guest accommodation, or the creation of a dedicated retreat space.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360497]

The main living areas are positioned on the ground floor, while the bedrooms are located upstairs, a configuration that promotes both family separation and connected living. All villas include a second master suite on the ground floor, reinforcing the project’s focus on flexibility and long-term adaptability.

That adaptability was central to BDA Architecture’s design approach. The team sought to create a sophisticated, low-maintenance product that makes the most of the site’s elevation and outlook while responding to evolving household needs. Expansive glazing, open-plan interiors and private outdoor areas draw in natural light and frame views towards the savanna, hinterland and Broadbeach skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360470]

VentureCrowd Director of Property David Whitting said the project responds to a growing group of buyers reassessing what premium living on the Gold Coast looks like.

Flexible floorplans have proven particularly relevant for purchasers aged between 40 and 65, including next home buyers, downsizers and investors. The inclusion of dual master suites in the Broadview design, along with options for a downstairs MPR or guest bedroom, allows homes to adapt as family dynamics shift, whether accommodating older parents, adult children, or extended stays.

Across the community, villas are specified with European appliances and premium fixtures and fittings, alongside double garages and landscaped private areas. The gated enclave includes number plate recognition entry, reinforcing a focus on security and exclusivity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360474]

Lifestyle amenity is anchored by the Infinity Terrace, an elevated communal space incorporating a 20m heated pool, alfresco zones and barbecue facilities, designed as a shared retreat within the neighbourhood. A two-acre private nature reserve with walking trails and rehabilitated bushland further integrates the development with its savanna-edge setting, reflecting a broader masterplan initiative to restore native vegetation and habitat corridors.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/carrara-qld-4211">Carrara</a>’s positioning continues to attract attention from prestige buyers seeking proximity to the coast without beachfront pricing. The suburb offers access to major retail centres including Pacific Fair and Robina Town Centre, is around 15 minutes from Broadbeach, and benefits from connectivity via the M1 to Brisbane and the Gold Coast Airport.

VentureCrowd’s Cumulus Grand Villas in Carrara advances with construction underway

Joint venture partners <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/perifa">PERIFA</a> are officially launching the third and final residential stage at their landmark $350 million harbourfront precinct, Putney Wharf, with The Residences representing the final opportunity to secure a new home within this rare waterfront destination.

Strong demand has already been established across the earlier stages of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-residences-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf</a>, with more than 50 per cent sold ahead of this final release. The Residences will introduce a selection of the precinct’s most premium apartments, many of which were deliberately reserved for this concluding stage.

Located at 20 Waterview Street, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/putney-nsw-2112">Putney</a> NSW, the completed precinct will comprise 67 residences, including 18 terraces and 49 apartments, alongside five retail tenancies and a 36-berth marina.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=1338]

Developed alongside partners Phoenix Property Investors and Mitsubishi Estate Asia, Putney Wharf occupies a prized 300-metre stretch of absolute waterfront and incorporates the historic former Halvorsen’s Boatshed. The precinct connects directly to surrounding parklands via a landscaped foreshore walkway and a large, landscaped podium linking both sides of the development to the adjoining foreshore parklands.

The Residences comprise two newly built, three-storey apartment buildings delivering a boutique collection of 30 generously proportioned waterfront apartments. Designed to capture harbour outlooks, natural light and cooling breezes, The Residences balance architectural refinement with relaxed, low-maintenance living.

Architecturally designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, the apartments continue the cohesive design language seen across the broader precinct. A refined palette of light and dark materials, softer-toned stone and neutral, earthy finishes reflect the surrounding landscape and harbour setting. Interiors feature painted timber veneers, tactile joinery, timber flooring to living spaces and 100 per cent natural wool carpets in bedrooms, creating warm and sophisticated homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362525]

Justin Brown, Executive Chairman and Founder of Abadeen, said the release of the final residential stage marks an important milestone for the project.

“Putney Wharf brings together everything we’ve learned over more than 25 years of development,” Mr Brown said. “It respects the site’s extraordinary maritime history while delivering contemporary homes that connect people directly to the harbour.

The Residences offer the rare combination of low-maintenance apartment living, waterfront outlooks with beautiful sunset views, and the convenience of retail and amenity at your doorstep. For boating enthusiasts, the opportunity to secure a private marina berth completes a truly unique Sydney harbourfront lifestyle.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=291197]

PERIFA Managing Director and Co-Founder Fabrizio Perilli added that the diversity of housing across the precinct has been central to the project’s success.

“Whether it’s the heritage Halvorsen’s apartments, the Waterview Terraces or now The Residences, Putney Wharf offers a range of homes that respond to different lifestyles, all united by an unrivalled harbourfront setting,” Perilli said. “This is a precinct that will add lasting value to the Putney community.”

Managing project marketing and sales, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/srm-residential">SRM Residential</a> Partner Tim Rees said the final release has already attracted strong demand reflecting the project’s unique harbourfront position and the success of earlier stages.

“Following the strong response to both the Halvorsen’s Boatshed residences and the Waterview Terraces, The Residences represent the final chance to secure a new home within this tightly held waterfront precinct,” Rees said. “Buyers are drawn to the rare combination of absolute harbour frontage, parkside living and genuine architectural quality.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362240]

Putney Wharf is a one-of-a-kind mixed-use destination, delivering an exclusive residential offering alongside waterfront dining, retail and a 36-berth marina designed to the latest Australian Standards, accommodating vessels up to 18 metres and helping address Sydney Harbour’s ongoing marina shortage.

The precinct will include five retail tenancies and a prominent waterfront jetty area fronting the retail village, creating an activated harbourfront destination for residents and visitors alike.

Residents will enjoy direct access to lush harbourfront parklands, a public foreshore walkway and landscaped podium gardens connecting the development to the surrounding waterfront reserve. Construction across the Putney Wharf precinct is expected to be completed by Q2 2027.

Sales of The Residences officially launch this weekend, with the display suite open Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 12pm at Putney Wharf. Visitors are invited to enjoy a complimentary coffee while touring The Residences and experiencing the Putney Wharf lifestyle firsthand.

Final Harbourfront release in Putney Wharf launches this weekend

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

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

In a joint venture with The Trump Organization, Australia developer Altus Property Group has announced plans to bring a Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower to the Gold Coast, marking the first Trump-branded project in Australia.

"Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast is our first official project in Australia and reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering world-class luxury experiences in iconic locations around the world," Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, said.

“Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast will be a truly unique offering in the Australian market, bringing the prestige and allure of a world-class luxury brand,"&nbsp;Altus founder and chief executive David Young said.

"Altus Property Group is proud of its track record in delivering landmark developments across Australia, and our expertise ensures this project will be an outstanding success."

Potts Point

Luxury developer&nbsp;Terra Ferma and joint venture partner Knox Group have teamed up on an apartment project in <a href="/developments/potts-point-nsw-2011">Potts Point</a>.

They're seeking to convert a 20-studio apartment building on Oak Lane, the <a href="/developments/woolloomooloo-nsw-2011">Woolloomooloo-side of Potts Point</a>, into a five-level building with just five apartments.

The team spent nearly a year amalgamating 20 owners across two rundown buildings.

The boutique nature of the offering, something which Potts Point and the nearby Elizabeth Bay isn't known for, particularly in the new and off the plan apartment space, means apartments are expected to sell for record prices.

<img alt="Potts Point" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="257fc57a-8bad-4add-bd85-2b9d8f0cc2b4" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-07-17%20at%2011.20.15%20am.png?VersionId=oNONryKufnX2crTgVz_mdNk17R3I6tOi" />

The premier site has 22-metres of Sydney Harbour frontage and will offer&nbsp;unparalleled 200-degree views of the <a href="/developments/sydney-nsw">Sydney Harbour</a>,&nbsp;from the city skyline to <a href="/developments/cremorne-nsw-2090">Cremorne Point</a>, the iconic Harbour Bridge and Opera House.

“We’re excited to have unlocked one of the finest boutique development sites in Sydney, with a 22-metre harbour-facing frontage, the most expansive frontage of any boutique site on Sydney Harbour,” Knox Group Co-Director Daniel Moroko said.

Terra Ferma Managing Director Diaa Shaker said they are&nbsp;thrilled to add the project to their portfolio of exclusive boutique residences

"With our focus on creating unparalleled living spaces and capturing the essence of Sydney Harbour, each of the five apartments is set to break the Potts Point square meter record."

To bring the project to life, the teams have chosen the renowned TZG Architects, fresh off their recent win in the 2023 Heritage Awards Judge’s Choice for their works on the iconic Bondi Pavilion.

Terra Ferma have worked on a number of boutique developments in the Sutherland Shire, while Knox Group, who have done the same, have recently transformed the Motel Molly in Mollymook.

Potts Point's historic Bayswater Road, lined with Victorian terraces and once a bustling nightlife scene, is set for a facelift.

Hamptons Property Services have filed an application to redevelop four sites between 28-38 Bayswater Road, currently home to a mix of residential and commercial spaces.

Vince Squillace, of the Surry Hills architectural and interior design practice Squlliace, handled the designs of the $20 million project, which will incorporate 22 apartments above extensive food and beverage spaces, and a handful of terraces.

"The vision for the site is to develop it into a mixed-use building with commercial activation to all three streets with residential apartments above," the design report put together by Squillace read.

"The existing terraces are to be retained and modified into single level residential units while the rest of the site will be redeveloped to enhance the residential offering to the precinct of Potts Point, due to its prime location in terms of access to local shops, entertainment, services and public.

"The design approach is to break down the building forms into a series of vertical elements which draws inspiration from the verticality, scale, mass, and materiality of the architecture in the local area."

The apartments will focus around a central communal garden which will dissect the building. Further communal space will be located on the roof, where there will be a small pool and pool deck.

There will be a mix of one-bedroom apartments, with a study, and two

There will be plenty of heritage headaches before the project gets the green light.

28-30 Bayswater Road is a pair of mid-Victorian period terraces which are heritage listed. Thai Rock occupies the ground level. Next door, 32-34 Bayswater Road, is another two mid-Victorian terraces, which are considered to have heritage significance. Popular bar Eros currently occupies the ground level, while the upper level are commercial spaces.

36-38 Bayswater Road is a four-storey building on the corner of Ward Ave and Bayswater Road. Its current use is commercial premises. All subject properties are located within the Heritage Conservation Area as specified in the LEP.

The design report said the&nbsp;alterations and additions to the Bayswater Road terraces will restore the buildings to be more consistent with their original design.

The design for the new apartments takes inspiration from the proportions and materiality of the existing brick buildings common throughout Potts Point," the report added.

"The new development has been designed in such a way to accentuate the verticality and reduce the visual bulk of the development.

Potts Point, one of the most expensive apartment markets in Australia, has been subject to a number of new apartment development applications in recent months.

Melbourne developer Time &amp; Place recently submitted long awaited plans for their redevelopment of The Chimes apartment building on Macleay Street.

The Macleay Street block dates back to the mid-20th century when it was designed by Hugo Stossel, a modestly well-known post-War émigré architect who designed a number of similar residential apartment buildings in Sydney’s inner eastern suburbs.

They're planning a brand new building designed by SJB, with a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

There was community objection, given its location at&nbsp;30A-34 Brougham Street was to block out the view from The Butler, a Potts Point institution for a number of years.

The joint venture partners recently filed an appeal to the NSW Land and Environment Court after the City of Sydney's council&nbsp;and planning committees failed to make a determination.

First look: Potts Point's Bayswater Road terraces to be reinvigorated with new $20 million mixed-use plans

It's been two years in the making, but Melbourne developer Time &amp; Place has finally started putting together new plans for the redevelopment of the landmark Potts Point apartment building, The Chimes.

The Macleay Street block dates back to the mid-20th century when it was designed by Hugo Stossel, a modestly well-known post-War émigré architect who designed a number of similar residential apartment buildings in Sydney’s inner eastern suburbs.

The price for the block has been previously reported as $85 million, which would equate to just over $1 million per apartment. There are 80 studio apartments in the 12-level building, which is set to be demolished to make way for another nine-level building, designed by SJB, with 45 apartments.

The building saw a Sydney record $264,000 paid for a car space in 2016.

<img alt="The Chimes Potts Point" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ef30fc4b-27cb-49fc-9e54-39a5957e4d8d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-11-08%20at%203.24.24%20pm.png?VersionId=1Nr47p2FjGWqTxgtXVpea6pm0UqCf0Q2" /> 
The Chimes building on Macleay Street

Time &amp; Place made their intentions clear when they started buying apartments in the block a few years ago.

“Over the last 24 months, Time &amp; Place has worked collaboratively with owners at The Chimes, Potts Point, as well as representatives from the City of Sydney to ensure fair and considered outcomes were achieved for all involved," Time &amp; Place Director Evan Papadopoulos told Urban.

“A priority for our team has been to ensure that communications with all stakeholders have been consistent, thoughtful and clear from the outset.”

They are now working through the statutory process with the City of Sydney Council.

"We will approach this next step in the same spirit of transparency and open-mindedness we have adopted over the course of this acquisition,"&nbsp;Papadopoulos added.

“We look forward to continuing to engage with the wider community to achieve positive outcomes for this iconic Potts Point site.”

Concept plans for the 1,289 sqm site at 45-53 Macleay Street have been drafted by SJB, which includes ground floor retail fronting Macleay Street.

There will be a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, starting from 50 sqm and ranging in size to the the 270 sqm, half-floor apartments. The two penthouses have private rooftop terraces with a barbecue area and a plunge pool.

The residential amenity is located on the ground level behind the retail. That will comprise a lap pool and 270 sqm of open space.

"With limited space, many apartment buildings are vying for high levels of amenity," SJB noted in their design statement submitted to the local council.

"This proposal offers a variety of apartment types to cater for density while also providing and alternative to traditional detached housing by proposing large apartments at top levels. This will attract residents that would otherwise unlikely move to the area."

SJB said the existing building pays no respect to the streetscape and the new development will change this by introducing an active frontage along Macleay St holding the corner towards McDonald St.

<img alt="The Chimes" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5f43d12d-78c6-489e-991e-dbb59c65418f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-11-08%20at%203.33.14%20pm.png?VersionId=TwbytHo2W0Y2XDW3My.BPKQZc_UYbTSb" />

There was a conscious effort to incorporate a number of sustainability principles, including solar panels on the roof and a rainwater tank for use in irrigation of the landscaping.

Town planner Urbis suggested the existing building would not meet the threshold to warrant its listing as a heritage item,&nbsp;nor is it of such architectural quality or historical importance that it should be considered a neutral or even contributory item within the context of the Heritage Conservation Area.

"The subject site, The Chimes, is not dissimilar to Seidler’s International Lodge, or Frank Hoffer’s Riviera. These buildings are pedestrian examples of the Modernist aesthetic, showcasing typical elements without flair or innovation; they are common, and they do not reflect the requisite architectural or aesthetic merit for heritage listing," Urban wrote in their report.

The Chimes is located adjacent to the 10-level Macleay Regis apartment building, regarded as one of the most impressive in Potts Point.&nbsp;

UAP, who work with developers on public art installations for new projects, were engaged to present a number of opportunity for art to blend in with the current topography of Macleay Street.

Time & Place made their intentions clear when they started buying apartments in the block a few years ago.

The Graaf retail and development dynasty are set to redevelop one of Potts Point's most iconic buildings into four luxury terraces.

The Graaf family, led by Graaf Founder, Managing Director, and family patriarch Gennaro Autore, have submitted a development application for 20-26 Bayswater Road, the heritage-listed Mansions Terraces which they secured last year for $22 million. They were previously the home of the famous Candy's Apartments Nightclub, as well as the backpacker hotspot World Bar, which occupied two of the terraces.

The terraces will be fully redeveloped and extended, which will free up more commercial space on the ground level.

The terraces themselves will have four bedrooms across the new 340 sqm of internal living space. The attic level will be converted into a full floor master suite with a rooftop terrace.

Tony Leung from A+ Design Group has drawn up the plans which aim to keep the "fingers" which have become synonymous with the site.

<img alt="Mansions Potts Point" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e61f4802-cbaa-4d19-84a8-993f492778f8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-13%20at%207.57.10%20am.png?VersionId=8czUJsgM86Q7XJWHFQ0cI2qam0Nfh_2j" />

"The proposed development involves alterations and additions to an existing building, with majority of the existing front façade on Bayswater Road and the four ‘fingers’ on Mansion Lane being retained,"&nbsp;the design verification statement submitted by Leung noted.

The lower ground and ground floor at the rear are proposed to be demolished and rebuilt with two new basement levels. The above ground works are proposed between the existing “fingers” and an additional part-floor attic level under roof space at the existing building height threshold.

"It respects the existing heritage building fabric by delicately curating rear wings design, to enable a contemporary and contextual fitting addition to the buildings while being able to provide a positive contribution to both existing and future public domain," the reported stated.

"The site presents a unique opportunity to revitalise the surrounding commercial with integrated residential neighbourhood because of its’ location,"

"It offers an extensive network in proximity to existing shops, public and private transportation, linking major arterial roads to the city, eastern suburbs and northern beaches."

The terraces are just 150 metres East of Kings Cross Train Station, and there are extensive public transport links in front of the site on Bayswater Road.

Graaf has a long history in both retail and property development. As well as handling the distribution of luxury retail brands&nbsp;Missoni and Brunello Cucinelli in Australia, they've been part of a number of commercial redevelopment projects across Sydney, including The Trust Building in the Sydney CBD, The Amalfi Way on Woolloomooloo wharf, as well as a number of store fitouts.&nbsp;

The burgeoning Sydney apartment developer, Third.i, is taking on its first project in the affluent harbourside suburb of Potts Point, further expanding their $2.5 billion pipeline.

Fresh off the back of a launch weekend near sell-out of its high-end Lindfield mixed-use project, Balfour Place, Third.i has submitted plans to the City of Sydney council for a boutique development at 30A-34 Brougham Street, located in front of the popular restaurant, The Butler, on Victoria Street.

Third.i, alongside their joint venture partner Toohey Miller, who are teaming up again having previously developed the&nbsp;North Sydney commercial tower Warada on Walker together, are set to create a new part six, part seven-level residential building with just 14 apartments.

<a href="/new-apartments/muse-potts-point-30-34-brougham-street-potts-point"><img alt="" height="651" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-20_at_8.55.41_am.png" width="1129" /></a>

WMK Architecture has designed the striking building, of which they said they wanted to achieve the following outcomes:

1. Compliment a breathtaking view with a building of high calibre, persuing excellence in quality and function

2. Respond sensitively to the architectural and cultural history of Potts Point.

3. Celebrate the natural heritage of the site and its defining feature.

There will be a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with the top level apartments featuring deep terraces with extensive views.

<a href="/new-apartments/muse-potts-point-30-34-brougham-street-potts-point"><img alt="" height="655" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-20_at_8.55.29_am.png" width="1137" /></a>

The site currently holds an aged, four-storey residential apartment building with a semi-submerged basement.

WMK note in their design verification statement that the site itself is not identified as a heritage item but it is located within the Woolloomooloo Heritage Conservation area.

&quot;The immediate context is rich in historical architecture including Victorian terrace row-houses nestled alongside more contemporary developments.

&quot;The local vernacular predominantly includes two to four-storey terrace houses with balconies oriented toward the West. Many of these building facades are adorned with decorative balustrades and brick or timber cladding.&quot;

They suggest the&nbsp;proposed design draws inspiration from both the architectural and natural heritage of the site and surrounds.

<a href="/new-apartments/muse-potts-point-30-34-brougham-street-potts-point"><img alt="" height="660" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-20_at_8.55.20_am.png" width="1142" /></a>

&quot;The scale and repetition of vertical elements of the neighbouring Victorian terrace houses have been adopted for the proposed podium fa&ccedil;ade to create a strong, cohesive edge along Brougham Street.

&quot;The use of sandstone for the podium intends to create a visual connection to the exposed cliff face that protrudes out from below the large apartment building to the North.&quot;

Third.i,&nbsp;founded by Luke Berry, Robert Huxley and&nbsp;Ron Dadd in 2005, are also currently developing the Dairy Farmers site in Newcastle in to two towers, one of which will be the tallest in the city.

Always aware of how they can innovate and improve their offering for the buyer, Third.i recently launch CoPosit, which allows potential buyers secure a&nbsp;property with just $10,000 in savings, with the remainder of the deposit paid over weekly instalments until the apartment is ready. That&#39;s in operation at the Newcastle project, with around 10 per cent of buyers using the tool.

Urban recently caught up with Third.i co-founder Luke Berry. To read a bit more about how Third.i operate, <a href="/news/nsw/how-the-sydney-apartment-developer-third-i-always-puts-the-buyer-first-five-minutes-with-luke-berry">click here</a>.

The demand for apartments at&nbsp;Iris Capital&rsquo;s $350 million Queensgate project in Potts Point has continued, with nearly half of the apartments accounted for following its launch just one month ago.

There were a further&nbsp;$20 million in sales during Sydney&rsquo;s traditionally quiet holiday period, taking the total sales tally to over $121 million.

Not often do interstate buyers head to Sydney, with the trend often the other way around, but the latest buying spree saw&nbsp;high-net-worth individuals from Brisbane and the Gold Coast secure apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5570 project_image_fid=180676]

Among the recent sales was a one-bedroom apartment without a carpark for $2.2 million, while two-bedroom apartments have sold for between $4 million and $6 million.

Queensgate&nbsp;will deliver a collection of five buildings; Sovereign, Regent, Monarch, Consort and Empress, all featuring individual designs and their own lobby. Exclusivity is maintained throughout with no more than 10 apartments in each structure, with just 48 in total.

Iris Capital&rsquo;s vision for the 18-32 Darlinghurst Road site, which will see the historic fa&ccedil;ade of The Bourbon Hotel retained, has been described as an architectural reawakening for Potts Point.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5570 project_image_fid=180674]

&ldquo;Local buyers were among the first to take a foothold after the official launch, but now we&rsquo;re seeing buyers from all over Australia converging on Queensgate, with many from Brisbane and the Gold Coast snapping up apartments during the holiday period,&rdquo; Iris Capital CEO Sam Arnaout said.

&ldquo;Queensgate undoubtedly represents a strategic acquisition for many buyers looking to secure a position in this dynamic urban precinct.&rdquo;

Total sales to date now account for 23 of the 48 apartments available at Queensgate, which offers one, two and three-bedroom layouts.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5570 project_image_fid=185762]

Each of the five buildings within the development has its own penthouse, some with a private rooftop swimming pool. One of the penthouses has already sold for $16 million.

Queensgate will further enhance the existing Potts Point dining and entertainment scene with its own collection of bars, restaurants, bakeries and cafes along the ground floor.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=5570]

Total sales at Queensgate have now surpassed $121 million, just a month since the project’s release.

Iris Capital's Queensgate, Potts Point apartment development, approaches 50% sold

Queensgate, the redevelopment of the Bourbon and Beefsteak Hotel in&nbsp;Sydney&#39;s Potts Point, secured over $102 million sales at its opening weekend launch.

Iris Capital&rsquo;s $350 million project saw a number of its 48 apartments snapped up, with huge sales including a 220 sqm, three-bedroom penthouse, bought by a couple from Sydney&#39;s north shore for $16 million.

Three of the 18 sales secured exceeded the $10 million mark, including the sale of a further two penthouses featuring their own private pools.

&ldquo;We are delighted with the sales result to date and are immensely proud of the product that we have worked tirelessly to deliver to market,&rdquo; said Iris Capital CEO Sam Arnaout.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5570 project_image_fid=180676]

&ldquo;Queensgate has been in planning for seven years so it&rsquo;s no surprise that the response was so overwhelming given the pent-up interest in the project.&rdquo;

Apartment prices start from $1.8 million for a one-bedroom apartment, $2.8 million for two-bedroom, $5 million for three-bedroom, and $10 million for the ultra-indulgent penthouses.

The collection of 48 apartments hit the market on Saturday, instigating a response that CBRE&rsquo;s Ben Stewart described as &ldquo;sensational&rdquo;.

&ldquo;A price point like that of Queensgate&rsquo;s would typically be met with quite a lengthy consideration process, but we had numerous buyers willing to sign on the dotted line the day it hit the market,&rdquo; Stewart said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5570 project_image_fid=185763]

&ldquo;Local buyers in particular have been anticipating the arrival of Queensgate for some time, so there was quite a sense of urgency among those eager to put their name against a slice of Potts Point history.&rdquo;

&ldquo;We had anticipated the competitive demand for Queensgate &ndash; as such, a $20,000 deposit was required to secure an expression of interest for an apartment.&rdquo;

&ldquo;This isn&rsquo;t your ordinary collection of luxury homes - you&rsquo;re dealing with an iconic site close to the hearts of many Sydney-siders, not to mention the remarkable architectural feat that Panov Scott and Tonkin Zulaikha Greer have produced.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5570 project_image_fid=185762]

The project has been hailed as an architectural reawakening of the 18-32 Darlinghurst Road site which will see the historic fa&ccedil;ade of The Bourbon Hotel retained alongside a brand new collection of residences.

Five separate buildings will be delivered, to be called Sovereign, Regent, Monarch, Consort and Empress, each exuding a differentiated design with their own lobby and no more than 10 apartments in each building.

Each residence has been elevated by artistic finishes, boasting soaring ceilings, a limited collection of private wine cellars, and cavernous walk-in wardrobes, all encased in a breathtaking heritage fa&ccedil;ade.

The project was greenlit by council earlier this year after spending over three years in approvals.

The top eight apartment developers to look out for in NSW in 2022

It&#39;s been over seven years since Iris Capital first earmarked what will likely be one of the most impressive redevelopments in the affluent harbourside suburb of Potts Point.

Iris Capital, led by the local hotelier and developer Sam Arnaout, has slowly amalgamated a larger site, including Potts Point institutions&nbsp;the Bourbon and Beefsteak pub and Les Girls nightclub, to create an ideally located 2,500 sqm from 18-32 Darlinghurst Road, at the top of Macleay Street.

Now Iris are set to launch the $350 million redevelopment, which will see 48 apartments, not including a handful of penthouses with private pools, spread&nbsp;apartments across five buildings, each with their own art-deco identity. The buildings will be known as Sovereign, Regent, Consort, Monarch and Empress.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5570 project_image_fid=185765]

The development application&nbsp;went before the City of Sydney council in 2018, before being approved earlier this year.

&ldquo;I have long been a big believer in this pocket of Potts Point, and the Queensgate vision is one which we have been working incredibly hard at for some time now,&rdquo;&nbsp;Arnaout said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5570 project_image_fid=180676]

&ldquo;Breathing new life into key destinations with high quality redevelopment is one of the hallmarks of Iris Capital and we are extremely eager to see this unique revitalisation come to fruition in the coming months.&rdquo;

Ben Stewart, a director at CBRE Sydney, says Queensgate is&nbsp;one of&nbsp;the most hotly anticipated releases the Eastern suburbs for a number of years.

&ldquo;Queensgate symbolises the next phases in the Potts Point renaissance, one which pays tribute to Potts Point&rsquo;s art deco roots while moving forward with a contemporary collection of sophisticated residences,&rdquo;&nbsp;Stewart said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5570 project_image_fid=185762]

Just 48 high-end apartments will be on offer across a selection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments,&nbsp;in addition to an exclusive collection of ultra-luxury penthouses with private pools.

A selection of three-bedroom apartments will also house their own private wine cellar.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5570 project_image_fid=180675]

Apartment prices start from $1.8 million for the one-bedroom units , $2.8 million for two-bedrooms, $5 million for the three-bedrooms,&nbsp;and $10 million for penthouses.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve already seen strong interest from both local and interstate buyers who are eager to get their hands on an incredibly rare product set in one of the city&rsquo;s most thriving dining and retail cultures,&quot; Stewart added.

&ldquo;Residents will be able to step out their front door and straight into a world class collection of caf&eacute;s, boutiques and bars, nestled in an activated laneway with fantastic new amenity and upmarket retail.&quot;

Each residence features&nbsp;artistic finishes, soaring ceilings, a limited collection of private wine cellars, and large&nbsp;walk-in wardrobes, all encased in a&nbsp;heritage fa&ccedil;ade.

As the home of Australia&rsquo;s highest concentration of art deco buildings and some of Australia&rsquo;s earliest block of flats, Potts Point&rsquo;s cityscape is one of juxtaposition, where modern high rises border historic landmarks.

Queensgate&rsquo;s design was bred from a diversity of input including architects Panov Scott and Tonkin Zulaikha Greer (TZG) who devised five distinct personalities for each of the buildings, and interiors by TZG and BKH.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5570 project_image_fid=180674]

&ldquo;Our philosophy has always explored the crossover between art and architecture, and Queensgate epitomes that intersection of high-end design,&rdquo; said Tim Greer, Director of TZG.

&ldquo;We wanted to produce a collection of homes that were deeply reflective of the Potts Point character while offering the most high-end and modern luxuries available in residential design.&rdquo;

Iris Capital has been busy in the Gold Coast as well as Sydney, recently launching their first Surfers Paradise development, Victoria &amp; Albert.

The $800 million mixed-use development will feature more the 330 apartments across two residential towers rising 30 and 40 levels.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=178909]

The East tower known as The Albert will comprise 114 two, three and four-bedroom apartments over 30 levels.

The west tower, known as The Victoria, will rise over 40 levels and deliver 219 apartments of one, two and three bedrooms.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=5570]

“I have long been a big believer in this pocket of Potts Point, and the Queensgate vision is one which we have been working incredibly hard at for some time now,” Arnaout said

Iris Capital prepare launch of Queensgate, the hotly anticipated Potts Point apartment redevelopment

<html><body>
Former independent Member for Wentworth Dr Kerryn Phelps and wife Jackie Stricker-Phelps are again seeking buyers for their Potts Point ­investment apartment.
They initially put the two-bedroom apartment in The Rex building up for sale last year, but it was pulled from its December auction, when they were seeking $1.68 million.
This time round Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agent Debbie Donnelley has a $1.45 million to $1.55 million price guide for its October 8 auction.
The apartment has two levels with 127sqm space with views across Fitzroy Gardens and a car space.
The couple paid $715,000 in 2008, which was less than its $780,000 off-the-plan price in the block ­designed by Burley Katon Halliday in 2004.
There was a $1.4 million two-bedroom sale last month which was first sold at $750,000 in the Denis O’Neil-developed complex.
The couple will be hoping to ride the wave of price growth that has seen Dame Nellie Melba’s former old-style Macleay St apartment nearby under offer for a rumoured $6.625 million.
The apartment last sold for $4 million in 2016, but there had since been an ­extensive Xavier Hinde renovation, which included the purchase and utilisation of roof space, by the Burrell family from Adelaide.
Melba’s residency was in the early 1930s.
