<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sunland-group">Sunland Group</a> has officially lodged plans for its first Gold Coast apartment project since the departure of the Abedian family from the company three years ago, unveiling a new high-rise proposal for a prominent Broadbeach corner site on Old Burleigh Road.

The application was submitted by an entity directed by Tom Jamieson, stepson of longtime Sunland leader Soheil Abedian, and Riaz Rezvanipour, brother-in-law of Sahba Abedian, Soheil’s son.

Sunland acquired the 1,283 sqm site on the corner of Old Burleigh Road and Armrick Avenue for $9.5 million late last year and is now seeking approval for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/99-101-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">42-storey tower with 81 apartments</a>.

<img alt="First look: Sunland Group returns to Broadbeach with new Old Burleigh Road tower plans" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fea2946d-90ee-4cfc-babe-2a8ad5db2cb6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/pers.png?VersionId=BV0fihJw31nDIQ8ozY_h3GbS8mxDyhnm" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/contreras-earl-architecture">Contreras Earl Architecture</a>, the proposed tower at 99-101 Old Burleigh Road would deliver a predominantly larger-format apartment mix aimed at the owner-occupier market. Plans include 17 two-bedroom apartments, 55 three-bedroom apartments, and nine four-bedroom residences across 35 residential levels.

The development also incorporates three basement levels, four podium parking levels, two levels of communal recreation facilities, and rooftop plant and equipment. A total of 189 car spaces are proposed, significantly exceeding the 90 spaces required under the planning scheme.

The architecture adopts a sculpted, curvilinear form, with deep wraparound balconies and integrated landscaping intended to soften the tower’s vertical expression. The planning report states the building’s “slender footprint/form provides a complimentary yet varied built form within the local streetscape” and contributes to “a varied, yet ordered skyline.”

Contreras Earl noted in its Architectural Statement that from the early stages, the project addressed a fundamental challenge: how to accommodate the required residential yield while avoiding the conventional model of a tower sitting on a rigid, fully resolved parking podium.

“The most direct response would have been to consolidate parking into a singular, flat podium and extrude a repetitive tower above,” the statement said. “While efficient, this approach would result in a consolidated built form with limited engagement with the surrounding landscape and public realm.”

Instead, the conventional podium model was “deliberately rejected”. The architects described the base of the building as “a landscaped architectural condition where structure, planting and circulation are integrated”.

“Rather than presenting a continuous built mass, the base of the building is articulated through a series of concrete planter elements that organise the podium into a fragmented system,” the statement said. “This approach reduces the perceived bulk of the lower levels while establishing a more permeable interface with the streetscape and adjacent open space.”

<img alt="Sunland" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="923fad8d-c960-4527-8fbe-975cf1ddf88d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-25%20at%2010.32.03%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=pngwb0hYOIUpq9vDw6F2EsOiVuHF3DiX" />

&nbsp;

The site sits within the High Density Residential Zone and inside the City of Gold Coast’s unrestricted “HX” building height area, where the planning framework anticipates intensified residential development tied to the expanding light rail corridor. The planning report notes the area is undergoing “transition toward more intense development forms” given its proximity to Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise, and high-frequency public transport infrastructure.

Positioned directly opposite Broadbeach Park and within walking distance of Florida Gardens light rail station, the development would sit among a rapidly evolving stretch of Old Burleigh Road that has become one of the Gold Coast’s most active apartment development corridors.

The application joins a growing pipeline of luxury residential projects reshaping Broadbeach, including nearby developments by 5Point Projects, Polycell, and Graya.

The planning report argues the project contributes toward the Gold Coast’s long-term housing targets under the South East Queensland Regional Plan, which forecasts the need for more than 100,000 additional high-rise dwellings across the city by 2046.

The Minns Labor Government has established the new Bays West Delivery Authority to lead the development&nbsp;of the Bays West Precinct and Blackwattle Bay Precinct.&nbsp;

The Authority is charged with creating Sydney’s newest precinct, a thriving, connected, sustainable hub with White Bay Power Station as its cultural heart. Its vision is to build on the area’s natural, cultural and industrial history to shape a vibrant new neighbourhood.

The precinct will deliver up to 8,500 well-located homes, including a minimum of 10 per cent affordable and essential worker homes. Combine new housing with public open space, opening public access to the waterfront for the first time in more than 100 years, while retaining important deep-water facilities to support Sydney’s working harbour.

Located just minutes from the Sydney CBD and connected to a world-class metro, ferry, walking and cycling links, the Bays West precinct will rebalance housing growth towards well-serviced inner-city locations and help tackle the state’s housing crisis.

The Bays West Delivery Authority,&nbsp;an agency of the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure, will report to the NSW Minister for Lands and Property who already has oversight of major precinct renewal projects including at Blackwattle Bay and Barangaroo.

As part of the broader Bays West transformation, the Minns Government recently announced that a proposal from Lendlease to redevelop part of the Bays West Precinct has progressed to Stage 2 of the NSW Government’s unsolicited proposals process.

<img alt="Sydney" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2ed71eb9-d8e8-4fa7-b9d1-de4531dcf2f3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-25%20at%209.42.31%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=IDryFIbped9SNDg72LEN_EecvhUsOPvp" />

The Minns Labor Government has also confirmed the Bays West precinct will have a new suburb name. This will be the first major suburb built in close proximity to Sydney’s CBD in decades and will encompass the area currently being referred to as Bays West, including Glebe Island and the White Bay Power Station. Served by a new Metro station just five minutes from the CBD, it will become one of the most populous suburbs in the Inner West and one of Sydney’s premier cultural destinations.

An early works program is taking shape, which&nbsp;includes the first stages of an international design competition.&nbsp;

The aim of the Bays West&nbsp;International&nbsp;Design Competition is to&nbsp;ensure design excellence is embedded in the project from the start. The competition will deliver an&nbsp;urban framework that defines the character, ambition and long-term identity of&nbsp;this&nbsp;former industrial precinct as it transitions to a vibrant, inclusive and sustainable residential&nbsp;neighbourhood.

The competition will be led by the Bays West Delivery Authority in partnership with Government Architect NSW.&nbsp;

It will launch with an invitation for a global Expressions of Interest, before moving to an invitation-only stage that will be assessed by a panel that&nbsp;will provide advice to Cabinet who will select a winner.

Premier of NSW, Chris Minns said the establishment of the new Authority is the first step in transforming the Bays West precinct into a vibrant, livable suburb minutes from the Sydney CBD and two stops from Hunter St Station on the Metro West line.

“The Authority will deliver well-located homes close to the heart of the city and integrate the new precinct with Blackwattle Bay and the new Sydney Fish Market.

“This is a generational opportunity to build a new suburb on the city’s edge and open the harbour foreshore to the public for the first time in a century.”&nbsp;

Minister for Lands and Property Steve Kamper said the new Bays West Delivery Authority established by the Minns Government will turbocharge the development of Sydney’s newest suburb.

“The Authority is working at a record pace to deliver an international design competition, planning pathways and a financial model so that this development benefits Sydney with well-designed homes in a central location, close to public transport, jobs, entertainment and essential services.

“If we want Sydney to stay liveable and affordable, we need to be bold about using underutilised government-owned land to deliver homes for the future while making sure essential working harbour functions can be accommodated.”

Bays West Delivery Authority established to "turbocharge" Sydney’s newest suburb

Around 400 additional homes could be built at Southwark Grounds on Port Road, lifting total site capacity from 1300 to around 1700 dwellings.

A recently approved code amendment would allow apartment towers of up to 14 storeys in some areas of Renewal SA’s redevelopment of the former West End Brewery.

Renewal SA Acting Chief Executive Shane Wingard said he welcomed the code amendment, with the increase in heights and homes making a positive impact on the supply of high-quality, well-connected housing close to the city.

“By going higher across some parts of Southwark Grounds, we are adding a substantial number of very well-located homes with little impact on project delivery time or planned open space,” Mr Wingard said.

Since the project officially launched in 2025, Mr Wingard said more than 12,000 enquiries had been received about living at Southwark Grounds.

“The very strong early interest we’ve seen since homes were first released in the precinct reinforces our plans to create more housing opportunities,” he said.

The Southwark Grounds code amendment was launched in December last year, with community engagement undertaken over five weeks from January.

It proposed increasing maximum building heights from eight to 14 storeys on the eastern section of Southwark Grounds, and to 12 storeys across the remainder of the site, with minimum building heights ranging from two to four storeys.

The code amendment was implemented through an Early Commencement policy in late January, allowing developers to quickly explore the viability of increased height and housing yield while other planning processes continue.

One of the first developers delivering apartment sites have already finalised redesigns to increase the number of apartments following the code amendment.

Samaras’ development adjacent to the future Colonel Light Park is now planning to deliver 125 apartments across 11 storeys, significantly greater than original plans of around 50 apartments across four storeys.

The developer is also exploring the potential for additional affordable housing outcomes.

Most of the apartments at Southwark Grounds will be delivered within a master-planned precinct on a large parcel of land on the eastern portion of the site, covering around two-thirds of its 8.4 hectares.

Wingard said detailed precinct planning over the coming months may identify further opportunities to increase yield further that could see total apartment numbers at Southwark Grounds, exceed this number.

Affordable homes at Southwark Grounds will also see a net increase, with Renewal SA maintaining its commitment to a minimum of 20 per cent affordable housing across the development.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Civil works have begun across the site, with construction under way on the first new roads surrounding a townhouse precinct in the south‑west corner of Southwark Grounds. This includes Renewal SA’s 17 Founder’s Row homes, which are on track for completion by Christmas.

“We expect to have people living at Southwark Grounds by the end of the year, so delivering roads and public spaces for those residents is among our highest priorities.”

Construction of 40 townhouses off Anderson Street, known as West Village and being delivered by Contour, is forecast to begin in mid‑2026. Kolabb’s Anderson Lane development will follow shortly after, delivering a further 26 townhouses.

Southwark Grounds is a state government‑led urban renewal project now set to deliver around 1,700 homes over the next decade.

Homes will be supported by a supermarket, a range of retail and hospitality offerings anchored by a revitalised Walkerville Brew Tower, a childcare centre, car parking and well‑connected public spaces.

400 new homes planned for Adelaide's former West End Brewery site

Brisbane developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/cavcorp">Cavcorp</a> has lodged plans for a new mixed-use residential development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/55-wyandra-street-teneriffe-qld-4005">55 Wyandra Street</a>, Teneriffe, anchored by an 85-metre public laneway designed to reconnect the suburb’s riverfront with the Gasworks precinct.

The buildings, known as Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane, would replace the existing Queensland Cotton head office site with a 15-storey residential tower transitioning to eight storeys toward Helen Street. The project has been designed by Plazibat Architects and lodged as a code assessable development application for 93 apartments across a 3,401 sqm mixed-use site within the Newstead and Teneriffe Waterfront neighbourhood plan.

Central to the scheme is the transformation of an existing service easement into a publicly accessible cross-block connection linking Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the new laneway will act as both a pedestrian shortcut and a landscaped civic space between the Teneriffe Riverwalk, ferry terminal, and Gasworks precinct.

<img alt="First Look: Cavcorp unveils Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane plans for landmark wellness tower in Teneriffe" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="26e7f058-b065-4de8-b13d-a2b8cb64dfcc" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/bldg.png?VersionId=sELS0ZKYi361oYipUa1BIKfe_.DLZoFV" />

“The revised proposal delivers a legacy public-realm cross-block link, permanently secured for community use, transforming an existing private easement into a safe, high-quality pedestrian connection between the Teneriffe heritage riverwalk and the Gasworks–Long Island precinct,” the planning report states.

The laneway will sit beneath a large subtropical loggia integrated into the podium levels of the development. The design incorporates deep landscaping, water gardens, lobby spaces, business lounges, and ground-floor apartments to create what Cavcorp describes as a climate-responsive “urban verandah.”

The tower itself has been designed as a slender form with recessed floorplates and curved translucent corners inspired by contemporary Japanese architecture. The building height aligns with the Commercial Road precinct controls, which permit towers up to 15 storeys within proximity to Longland Street.

<img alt="First Look: Cavcorp unveils Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane plans for landmark wellness tower in Teneriffe" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a8a17d40-43b6-4718-b3fd-67676fcbb485" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/pers%202_1.png?VersionId=i3VwDtp5AmL_8InW7w4qRbDFEpb744Jt" />

The project will comprise a mix of larger-format apartments aimed at owner-occupiers, downsizers, and families. The proposed apartment mix includes 11 loggia apartments across the lower levels, 50 four-bedroom Sky-Terrace apartments from levels three to seven, and 32 Sky-Pool Homes occupying the upper tower levels. The Sky-Pool Homes will feature private thermal plunge pools integrated into oversized balconies.

According to the application, the apartments are intended to reinterpret the scale and character of Teneriffe’s woolstore conversions and Queensland homes within a vertical residential format.

“The sky-pool homes build on Cavcorp’s previous projects and introduce a distinct apartment typology to Teneriffe, informed by both local and international precedent and responding to an identified market demand for enhanced safety, space and amenity,” the planning submission notes.

A major focus of the proposal is its five-level wellness and lifestyle offering, extending from the basement through to the rooftop.

Amenities proposed include a rooftop Swim &amp; Racquet Club with a 25-metre Olympic lap pool and tennis court, coworking spaces and libraries, golf simulators, wine storage, concierge facilities, business lounges, pet wash areas, and rooftop longevity-focused wellness spaces with spas, outdoor fitness zones, and landscaped terraces.

All parking will be concealed within basement levels accessed from Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the deep-basement engineering approach allows the entire ground plane to prioritise landscaping, pedestrian movement, and active frontage rather than vehicle infrastructure.

The development continues Cavcorp’s concentration in Newstead and Teneriffe, where the Brisbane developer has delivered a number of apartment projects including Lucent, Le Bain, and Luminare, as well as the Long Island Wellness Precinct nearby. Several of those projects have received national design and architecture awards, including recognition under Brisbane’s “Buildings that Breathe” program.

Focus Group Investments has lodged plans for a new apartment development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/64-70-hanover-street-fitzroy-vic-3065">64–70 Hanover Street</a> in Fitzroy, seeking to utilise the Victorian Government’s recently introduced Great Design Fast Track pathway to accelerate approvals for the project.

The proposal is among the latest developments to emerge through the state-led initiative, which was established to fast-track well-designed residential projects in activity centres and transport-connected inner-city locations. The pathway allows qualifying developments that meet elevated design and housing benchmarks to bypass traditional council planning timeframes and instead be assessed directly by the Department of Transport and Planning.

Designed by SJB, the development will comprise a mix of apartments above activated lower levels, with a strong focus on architectural articulation, landscaping, and communal amenity. The design response seeks to balance the industrial character of Richmond’s former warehouse precincts with a more contemporary residential form.

<img alt="First look: Focus Group Investments taps Victoria’s Great Design Fast Track for Richmond apartments" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="abea51cc-d85b-479e-9aef-a589f3b37ca7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/ground.png?VersionId=e1Kf8EyPWwyiVumtqQ4rM5S4GpOR3CCz" />

Proposed are 63 new dwellings, a wide ranging mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, and townhouses and duplexes. They will be spread across a part-three, part-eight storey building.

The Planning and Urban Context Report by Tract says the development is of an "exemplary architectural standard" and has been carefully crafted by SJB Architects.

"Dwellings&nbsp;will benefit from excellent access to natural light, cross-ventilation opportunities and extensive communal space," the report noted.

The architectural material highlights the project’s integration of landscaped elements and communal spaces throughout the building. The proposal also incorporates sustainability initiatives aligned with the Victorian Government’s push for higher-performing apartment developments under the fast-track program.

The Great Design Fast Track was unveiled by the Victorian Government in 2024 as part of a broader housing supply strategy aimed at accelerating the delivery of new homes. Projects assessed through the pathway must demonstrate high-quality architecture, sustainability outcomes, and housing diversity while being located close to public transport and existing infrastructure.

Focus Group, founder and led by Paul De Lutiis, is increasingly active across Melbourne’s inner suburbs, targeting well-connected urban renewal locations suited to medium and higher-density residential development. The Fitzroy proposal continues that strategy, leveraging the area’s strong transport links, established retail amenity, and proximity to the CBD.

Fitzroy has been one of the most popular spots for developers and buyers in recent years. The likes of PACE Development Group, SMA Projects, Crema Group and Chapter Group, currently selling projects in the suburb.

Queensland apartments

Canberra-based national residential property developer Amalgamated Property Group (APG) has launched their Broadbeach apartment project, Amaya.&nbsp;

In partnership with Base Developments, the DBI-designed tower at 30 First Avenue sits just 300 metres from the beach, with the 33-level tower delivering a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111866 project_image_fid=205116]

Amaya marks a return to the Gold Coast, and Broadbeach market for APG, who previously developed the Old Burleigh Road tower Verve.

Principal and Founding Director of APG,&nbsp;Graham Potts said&nbsp;the new Broadbeach development signals the group's continued growth across Australia.&nbsp;

“We’re excited to be re-entering the Queensland market with this modern blend of luxury and lifestyle in the heart of Broadbeach and we’re pleased to be welcoming prospective buyers through our display suite which will showcase materials and features from not just the homes themselves, but also the amenities on a large scale, so it is very special," Potts said.

“We’re extremely selective with our site locations and are committed to supporting developments that add value to a city’s urban infrastructure which is exactly what Amaya does for the Broadbeach region."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111866 project_image_fid=205113]

Amaya has been designed to create constant connections with nature, from the views of the Hinterland and the ocean waves, to the surrounding greenery of the parks and streets, says Senior Director of CBRE Residential Project, Nicholas Clydsdale.

“Amaya’s peaceful location and the fact that there are only 4 homes per level, means that residents will enjoy great views from the 33 level tower with more privacy, so coming home will feel like returning to their sanctuary near the sea,” Clydsdale said.

“We’re excited to be working with Amalgamated and Base on such a premium development; a development team with a strong financial backbone to enable construction to commence so soon adds extra confidence for buyers.”&nbsp;

The building’s distinct form is characterised by individual yet harmonious east and west facade designs, with the eastern facade featuring soft horizontal bands that emulate the rhythmic waves of the beach, balanced by glass panelling, while the west facade incorporates clean vertical expressions of glass and textures, that play with the shadows of the setting sun and at night, create a visual effect of an elongated glass lantern on the Broadbeach skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111866 project_image_fid=205112]

The residences will feature a light yet sophisticated palette that pays homage to the natural timber, stone and sandy hues of Broadbeach, each generously proportioned and highly functional.

Floor-to-ceiling windows draw ample natural light into each of the homes, while connecting the indoor spaces to the outdoors, creating a seamless flow from the living, kitchen and dining space to the balcony.

A podium level, reminiscent of a beachside resort, will house the development’s amenity offering, with a sauna, steam room, resident’s lounge and dining room, a pool, gym, outdoor patio and recreation space and barbecue facilities all tipped for the tower.&nbsp;

A display suite has also been set up in the heart of Broadie, giving prospective buyers the opportunity to see an Amaya apartment up close. The display suite will also have 3D modelling technology available, giving buyers the opportunity to explore the whole development through a totally immersive experience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111866 project_image_fid=205115]

Having already received strong interest from both local and international markets, including plenty of previous Amalgamated purchasers, it is expected the 120 Amaya apartments will sell out ahead of completion which is slated for 2024.

Being 100 per cent Australian owned and operated and with a commitment to sustainability and community engagement, APG has been busy paving the way in changing ACT’s property landscape over the last&nbsp;20 years. The group has been responsible for developing the first luxury homes within the prestigious Parliamentary Triangle in the ACT with The Griffin project, in addition to project such as Manhattan on the Park, Ivy, the Oaks three-stage precinct and the award-winning Civic Quarter.&nbsp;

Potts earlier said the new Broadbeach development signals the group's continued growth across Australia.&nbsp;

"Celebrating the quintessential Gold &nbsp;Coast lifestyle, Amaya showcases our desire to create homes that meet a genuine need in the market,” he concluded.

Construction of the $1 billion&nbsp;<a href="/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach development</a>, Victoria &amp; Albert, is looming, following a $200 million sales spree at the Gold Coast apartment project.

The 399-apartments are spread over&nbsp;two towers – Victoria and Albert – the first catering to an investor market and the second to an owner-occupier market.

Spurred by strong sales in the project’s preliminary release of apartments in its Victoria tower, Iris&nbsp;fast-tracked the launch of its sister-tower, Albert Residences, to meet growing demand for apartments on the Gold Coast.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=184933]

Two-bedroom apartments begin from $840,000, covering 103 sqm with one-bathroom and one car space.

Redland Bay, on the east coast of Brisbane, is set for a new apartment development.

The four-level project will rise from&nbsp;4-8 White Street in Victoria Point, and will deliver just 17 apartments to the area's most easterly street.

Aptly named Victoria Palms due to the coastal location only separated from the ocean by Victoria Point Reserve, each apartment will take on a modern design by Queensland-based architects RC+ Design.&nbsp;

Each of the apartments will have three bedrooms and two car spaces, with the residences following an open plan design that takes advantage of the eastern orientation, with views to Moreton Bay.&nbsp;

Landscaping is proposed throughout the periphery of the site, with a particular focus at the frontage of the site to White Street, facing Victoria Point Reserve.

The three separate lots will be amalgamated to create a 1,457 sqm block.

The eastern suburb of Redland Bay has a charming country feel, whilst still maintaining its connection to the bayside.

It’s a sporting community, boasting an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, cricket oval, cycling and walking paths, amateur fishing club, and one of the most picturesque and popular foreshore trails in the city.&nbsp;

There is also a local boat ramp that provides access to the sheltered waters of Moreton Bay.

The project is aptly named Victoria Palms, due to the coastal location only separated from the ocean by Victoria Point Reserve.

Queensland-based, Greyburn has started construction on their Robina Grand Residences.&nbsp;

The building company with over 35 years’ experience achieved strong sales in the early stages of planning, with the development notching over the 90 per cent sold mark, accruing $45 million in sales to date.&nbsp;

Sitting just a stone’s throw from one of the Gold Coast’s premier shopping outlets, Robina Town Centre, Robina Grand Residences will comprise 69 apartments and four townhouses across its eight levels, offering a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments, along with the four-bedder townhouses.&nbsp;

Strong sales for the project have been attributed to the project’s cornering of the middle market, offering buyers luxurious living spaces for affordable prices.

<img alt="Image of construction commencing on Robina Grand Residences" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e76cbfea-b01b-49c1-a52e-340eb3d87006" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/2022-08-05%2007.36.02.jpg?VersionId=fxOWtEoc7FH6vpO0e8N7pFCJzlCwSarE" />

Approaching a near sell out, Greyburn’s Co-Director, Aaron Hook, said the company was well positioned to deliver Robina Grand Residences, having delivered a variety of projects in the past, with construction costs of between $2 million and $30 million.

“Given that demand on the southern Gold Coast is higher than ever, we are excited to be commencing construction to bring this collection of ultra-desirable homes to life,” he said.

“Greyburn are well placed to navigate any issues facing the industry that may arise during our construction period, after we recently stepped in to complete construction on Minnippi Quarter following the collapse of Condev,” Hook added.&nbsp;

Taking its place at 1 Waterfront Place, Robina Grand Residences are also set to feature a suite of resort-style facilities, including a swimming pool and outdoor area with dining space and seating, set amongst sculptured landscaped gardens, with views to the Gold Coast skyline, hinterlands and iconic coastline.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The development will also include a fully-equipped gym and exercise health centre, featuring a pilates and yoga room, along with separate lounge areas, and retreat and games rooms.&nbsp;

Having built up an extensive portfolio in south-east Queensland, Robina Grand Residences joins a long list of successful residential projects under Greyburns belt, including the luxury apartments ORO in Biggera Waters, and Palladium in Hope Island.&nbsp;

Completion for Robina Grand residences is scheduled for late September 2023.

The final release of town and terrace homes within Rogerscorp’s Fable development in Everton Park has been fast-tracked to meet demand after the success of Stage One.

Launched in April this year, Fable by Rogerscorp, has already attracted strong demand from a diverse range of buyers including upgraders, retirees and a new post-Covid buyer type, ‘family rightsizers’ seeking convenience, lifestyle and easy access to amenity within connected suburbs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112680 project_image_fid=196534]

Ten of the residences have already been sold to a waitlist of buyers prior to public launch.

Fable’s second and final stage comprises 26 town and terrace homes with four floorplan designs ranging from 186 sqm to 216 sqm – virtually a small lot home.&nbsp;

Many feature a double garage, study nook, butler's pantry, as well as spacious master-bedrooms with double vanity ensuites.&nbsp;

Each of the kitchens boast floor to ceiling timber cabinetry, a breakfast bar, butlers or walk-in pantries, Smeg appliances including induction cooktop and semi-integrated dishwasher and generously-appointed storage options.

Created by an all-local team of Queensland-based designers and property experts - Rogerscorp, Z Architects, Devcon Property Group and Position Property - the vision for Fable&nbsp;captures the modern southeast Queenslanders’ home in a connected urban community with a green heart.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112680 project_image_fid=200119]

Rogerscorp Director Simon Rogers said Fable’s desirable location and homely communal design had been a major drawcard for a variety of buyer types.

“Fable has been designed as a community for modern families of all ages and sizes to connect, relax and unwind in the heart of Everton Park, which is exactly the lifestyle people are seeking post-Covid,” said Rogers.

“The amenities at Fable mimic those within the humble Queensland-style backyard, such as the barbecue and pizza oven, resort style pool with loungers, herb garden, open lawn space and fire pit, allowing residents to come together and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.”

Rogerscorp has appointed residential home builder, Devcon Building Co to commence construction of Fable in January 2023 following the success of its partnership on Nest, a townhome project in Bracken Ridge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112680 project_image_fid=196538]

Position Property's Richard Lawrence said the early sales success experienced at Fable reflects the desirability of the project’s urban neighbourhood concept.

“Fable is already attracting a wide variety of buyer types seeking a home with access to amenities right on their doorstep, which is exactly what the project was designed for,” said Lawrence.

“The strong interest we have received in Stage One has resulted in a waitlist for the final stage, so we anticipate these fast-tracked residences will sell quickly.”

Fable offers a total of 57, three-bedroom town and terrace homes with a choice of warm or light interiors and premium features throughout, including&nbsp;freestanding baths and waterfall showers, seamless indoor-outdoor living areas, flowing Coastal oak flooring and generous floor plan designs.

Sekisui House Australia has recently launched their latest collection of residences in their West End project, West Village.&nbsp;

The Allere Collection features two connected vertical communities, Uno and Duo, delivering a mix of one, two, three, four and five-bedroom residences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=205524]

Local West End-based architecture firm, Rothelowman, designed the apartments in the 20-storey towers, with both towers set to be constructed simultaneously.

Fronting Mollison Street, Uno will comprise 94 residences upon completion, along with two levels of commercial space.&nbsp;

Filling in the upper levels of the tower is a collection of luxury penthouses and a sub-penthouse, with the latter boasting a home-sized floor plan featuring four-bedrooms and three-bathrooms, across 222 sqm of space.&nbsp;

<img alt="Image: four-bed sub-penthouse floorplan" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1ea7d1c3-3ecd-4e64-98df-3deaacb9c25e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-15%20at%205.09.35%20pm.png?VersionId=uGoRqdXOjmS.jtGD0ETHHNxZTV7RQqlT" />

Priced at $3,686,499*, the sub-penthouse is targeting the downsizer market, or those looking to live somewhere well connected, with the West Village precinct achieving a 99/100 walk score rating.&nbsp;

Allowing connections to occur through meaningful spatial experiences, each of the residences has been designed to respond to the ever-changing needs of its occupants, with a character inspired by the urban fabric of West End.&nbsp;

Designed with a distinctive sculptured tectonic wall, Uno is emblazoned with subtropical greenery that projects outwardly through the generously-sized verandas to the north and south, along with integrated landscaping along the upper level terraces.

Crowning Uno will be a pool, enclosed dining space, seating areas, a vegetable garden, conservatory, as well as ‘Paw Pavilion’, which provides an off leash dog space within the building.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=205525]

The towers are set within a living heritage village that pays homage to the Peters Ice Cream and Cone Factories, built in 1920, located just 800 metres from the Brisbane CBD. 
&nbsp; 
A full-line Woolworths supermarket takes up shop in the community, along with Harris Farm Markets, Goodlife Health Clubs, a chemist, medical centre and more than 25 food and lifestyle providores.&nbsp;

Mirvac will start construction on the latest stage of Australia’s first racecourse fronting community, Ascot Green, with the $135 million Charlton House the next instalment in the historic Eagle Farm redevelopment.&nbsp;

In a bid to address a significant shortage of new apartments in the city, work will begin on the 14-level apartment building, with Mirvac working with Eagle Farm Racecourse owner, Brisbane Racing Club (BRC), just three months after its launch to market, with more than $70 million of apartments already sold - predominately to local buyers.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=179497]

According to new research released in Place Advisory’s Spring 2022 Apartment report, it is estimated Brisbane currently has just two months of new apartment supply, with deferred projects exacerbating supply and demand pressures.&nbsp;

Reinforcing its confidence in Brisbane, Charlton House is the third apartment project that ASX-listed developer, Mirvac currently has under construction in the city, delivering housing diversity in some of the most sought-after inner ring precincts.&nbsp;

Mirvac General Manager Residential Queensland, Warwick Bible, said the start of construction was a major milestone for the community, following the fast-tracking of Charlton House to meet demand.&nbsp;

“Our buyers have shown strong confidence in Charlton House and, to start construction just three months after launch, shows we echo that confidence in this development and the broader Brisbane apartment market,” he said.

“This milestone gives our purchasers certainty with the knowledge their apartment is being delivered by Mirvac that designs, masterplans and manages its projects every step of the way and which has done so for over 50 years."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=194813]

“The start of construction also signals the next phase of urban renewal for the historic Eagle Farm, giving more people the opportunity to live in this fantastic location,” he added.

Charlton House marks the third stage of Mirvac’s Ascot Green community, part of Brisbane Racing Club’s $1.5 billion masterplanned redevelopment of Eagle Farm, which will see the precinct transformed with luxury apartments, offices, a new shopping and dining precinct and a range of entertainment options.&nbsp;

Mirvac has already completed and sold-out Tulloch House and Ascot House at Ascot Green, with both buildings situated directly on Eagle Farm Racecourse, in the blue-chip suburb of Ascot.&nbsp;

Charlton House will comprise 113 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, and a limited collection of three and four-bedroom villas, with apartments sold from $499,000 through to more than $3 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=194811]

&nbsp;“Given about a third of Ascot is racecourse, there is very limited supply in this highly sought-after precinct, with demand only set to grow leading up to the 2032 Olympics, with the precinct’s proximity to facilities like the Athlete’s Village in Hamilton and Brisbane Indoor Sports Stadium in Albion," continued Bible.

“Larger apartments designed for owner-occupiers are in extremely high demand in Brisbane’s inner- ring, and buyers have been quick to secure their place at Charlton House as a result, with our premium apartments among the first to sell.”&nbsp;

Brisbane Racing Club Chairman, Neville Bell OAM, said the start of construction is an important stage in the BRC Masterplan.&nbsp;

“The commencement of Charlton House is the third stage of our partnership with Mirvac, undoubtedly a significant milestone in working towards the completion of the Brisbane Racing Club’s $1.5 billion Masterplan,” he said.

 
“Our Masterplan has set the standard for the redevelopment of ancillary land owned by race clubs around the country, in doing so we are safeguarding our legacy and relevance as a club for years to come."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=194814]

“Eagle Farm Racecourse is the heart of the Ascot and we look forward to welcoming the residents of the 113 residences to our community,” Bell added.&nbsp;

Bible said Charlton House, like previous Ascot Green releases, was popular with downsizers, although its diverse apartment offering appeals to a range of buyers, including young professionals and families.&nbsp;

“The location of Charlton House sets it apart. It is extremely rare – unique, even - to live in an inner-city apartment surrounded by 50 hectares of green space, including the racecourse,” he said.

“The tranquillity the location offers, close to the CBD, restaurants, cafes, shops and the airport, is attracting purchasers across the board."&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=179498]

Designed by Mirvac Design, Charlton House features a rooftop sanctuary with a private dining room taking in Brisbane city skyline views. It also features intimate lounge areas and extensive sub-tropical landscaping, with a gym and resort-style pool on the ground level overlooking the racecourse.&nbsp;

Charlton House joins the $197 million Quay luxury riverside apartments, along with Mirvac’s first QLD build-to-rent project, the $270 million dual-tower LIV Anura, which are both under construction in the $1 billion Brisbane River development, Waterfront Newstead.

Mirvac Construction, the Group’s dedicated construction arm, is building all three projects, with Charlton House to create more than 300 direct and indirect construction jobs over its 21-month build program, anticipated for completion in mid-2024.&nbsp;

Local Queensland Architect, Cameron Sheedy said the prioritised air flow and light brings an extremely superior product to the market.&nbsp;

“The private pool and alfresco entertainment space offers unprecedented ocean and mountain views, giving gravity to the creation of the entire space, which is calm yet invigorating, consistent and familiar with the area,” he said.

“The soaring double storey glass and built in planters for optimal greenery truly reflects the repetitive use of beautiful select materials that have been intentionally applied to create your very own Oasis.”&nbsp;

An ode to serenity and tranquillity as the name suggests, the Oasis penthouses draw inspiration from the surrounding natural environment, aiming to mesh fresh, crisp and textured whites externally, with raw surfaces internally.

Cube Developments interior designer Sarah Busch said there is comfort and security in these elements which are vital in creating a potential home for someone.&nbsp;

“The subtlety of the colour palette includes soft tones and bright white tones to create an elegant narrative for residents. Monolithic kitchen benches are understated and timeless to ensure the architecture and interior compliment each other,” said Busch.&nbsp;

The penthouses also include storage and joinery designed to appear more like art or stylised furniture pieces, along with integrated fridges with Smeg kitchen appliances, built-in laundry appliances, and an elevated home office that connects to the main living areas to create a private, serene environment which supports the work-from-home movement.&nbsp;

Penthouse buyers will as well benefit from Oasis’ state-of-the-art amenities, including open-air dining, a gym, pool, outdoor beach shower and lush garden, with the site maximising access to almost 180 degree ocean views stretching north from Point Cartwright all the way down to the Caloundra Headland.&nbsp;

Oasis is over 80 per cent sold, with two, three and four-bedroom configurations still remaining.&nbsp;
