<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> has lodged plans for a $750 million, three-tower mixed-use precinct that would complete the long-running redevelopment of Carlton's former Carlton United Breweries site.

The proposal at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/185-195-queensberry-street-carlton-vic-3053">46-78 Bouverie Street and 185-195 Queensberry Street</a> spans a 6,468 sqm site, the last remaining undeveloped parcels within the former brewery's 2007 masterplan.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the development will comprise two purpose-built student accommodation towers and a third build-to-sell apartment tower above a shared commercial podium and basement.

Across the three towers, SP Setia is proposing 606 build-to-sell apartments and 1,499 student accommodation units containing 2,009 beds.

The apartments will sit in the tallest tower, which will rise nearly 200m and 55 storeys. It will become&nbsp;one of the more substantial new build-to-sell apartment projects at the northern edge of Melbourne's CBD.

The apartment mix is weighted toward smaller inner-city product, with 188 studios, 206 one-bedroom apartments, 192 two-bedroom apartments and 20 three-bedroom apartments

<img alt="First look: SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8271bc87-1b0a-41b7-ac73-a425ee375261" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/3_2.png?VersionId=G4lw23o90B1boX4k4dj7rdz2ZEajS9wy" />

Part of the precinct will be a large-scale&nbsp;3,684 sqm supermarket and a further 2,198 sqm of speciality retail, creating close to 5,900 sqm of new commercial space within the precinct.

But one of the biggest components of the proposal is what sits between the buildings.

Around 4,650 sqm, or roughly 72 per cent of the site, will be publicly accessible open space, incorporating plazas, pedestrian connections, landscaped laneways and retail spill-out areas.

The ground plane is intended to finally complete pedestrian connections envisaged when the CUB masterplan was first approved nearly two decades ago, stitching together Victoria Street, Queensberry Street, Bouverie Street and Swanston Street through the former brewery precinct.

Urbis said the development would "complete the CUB precinct", with the public realm providing important north-south and east-west connections through what is currently the final undeveloped portion of the masterplanned site.

SP Setia is also exploring a new linear park within the Bouverie Street road reserve, with the concept to be developed further with the City of Melbourne through the planning process.

The proposal is being pursued through the Victorian Government's Development Facilitation Program under Clause 53.23 for significant residential development with affordable housing.

The planning report acknowledges the proposed heights exceed those contemplated under the original Comprehensive Development Plan and masterplan, but argues the built-form context has changed considerably over the past two decades.

Urbis said the three towers would instead create a stepped transition between Carlton and the Hoddle Grid, rising progressively from the 94.1-metre Tower One along the Queensberry Street edge to the 199.44-metre Tower Three closer to the established CBD-scale buildings to the south.

<img alt="SP Setia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e885a07a-592c-40fc-bf82-e6dbaf32da54" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.52.24%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7s_ErUkSKAdY1mAWp3GRZgMNCGtwhk5m" />

SP Setia plans to deliver the development across three stages.

Stage One would deliver the basement, podium and retail areas for the entire precinct alongside the first student tower. Tower Two would follow in Stage Two, before the 606-apartment Tower Three is delivered as the final stage.

If approved and delivered, the project would close out a redevelopment process that has been underway since the former brewery masterplan was approved in 2007, adding more than 2,600 student beds and apartments to a precinct already home to Swanston Central, the Barak Building, RMIT Design Hub and several large student accommodation developments.

SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct

Melbourne developer Lowe Living is seeking to add to its growing bayside apartment pipeline, filing plans for a boutique eight-residence development in tightly held Middle Park.

Lowe Living, which has built much of its development portfolio across Melbourne's affluent bayside and south-east suburbs, is behind the plans for the 730 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/123-125-erskine-street-middle-park-vic-3206">123-125 Erskine Street</a>, just off Armstrong Street and within the Armstrong Street Neighbourhood Activity Centre.

The developer is seeking approval for a five-storey residential building above two basement levels, with just eight large-format apartments and 18 car spaces.

“This is a deliberately very different proposition for us,"&nbsp;Tim Lowe, Co-Founder of Lowe Living, said.

"Eight residences is exceptionally boutique, but that's precisely what this site calls for.

“There is a strong community in Middle Park and the surrounding suburbs who have spent decades building a life here. They no longer want the maintenance of a large period home, but they aren't prepared to compromise on space, quality or location. We think there is a real opportunity to capture that hyper local market. A site like this rarely comes to market.”

<img alt="Lowe " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="875fe572-0f14-4d90-9e11-55b28dd07731" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.42.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=GDNQRv9BfpR9r1zkZ5UDyUM4ZvpIksut" />

The low-density proposal has been designed by Cera Stribley and is being progressed through the Victorian Government's Great Design Fast Track pathway, having already secured eligibility from the Minister for Planning.

The Office of the Victorian Government Architect supported its eligibility after finding the proposal demonstrated consistency with the program's seven design principles, while the project's financial feasibility has also been independently confirmed by Invest Victoria.

The project is targeting the downsizer market, with the planning documents describing the homes as larger-format residences and noting the two penthouses could otherwise have been configured as four separate apartments.

<img alt="Lowe 2" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="60ab0987-2da6-4175-adac-315dcf6053c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.15%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=bOCPH0B2MFwlmaRW.TTCF9TzyifgVoQI" />

The site has dual frontage to Erskine Street and Canterbury Place and currently comprises a collection of commercial buildings used as offices, including a former heritage bakehouse, a former stable, a later gabled addition and a central courtyard.

It sits within the Commercial 1 Zone and the Armstrong Street Commercial Precinct heritage overlay, with the existing property classified as a contributory heritage place.

Heritage has subsequently played a significant role in Cera Stribley's design.

The front section of the former bakehouse facing Erskine Street will be retained, including its return walls, street-facing hipped roof and chimneys, while the Erskine Street façade and part of the western return wall of the former stable will also be incorporated into the new development.

Levels four and five will be set back five metres from the retained stable façade, while bricks removed through demolition are proposed to be salvaged and reused within the new building where possible.

<img alt="Lowe 3" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e97927a9-a2de-4a0f-83b6-65451238abfa" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.06%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VR44AChLrX9q1XPB9GvVQV.ALXXbe4gC" />

Rather than presenting as a single five-storey building to Erskine Street, Cera Stribley has broken the development into a series of distinct forms.

A three-storey infill element will sit between the retained bakehouse and stable façades, with the upper levels recessed behind the heritage fabric. Canterbury Place will similarly feature two three-storey podium forms, separated by a central pedestrian accessway, before the upper two levels step back from the street.

A pedestrian through-link will run through the centre of the project between Erskine Street and Canterbury Place, creating entrances from both sides of the site and introducing landscaping and communal areas through the ground plane.

Landscape architect Acre has designed planting across the ground level, private terraces and upper levels, including a feature canopy tree at level three and integrated planting and arbours across the level four terraces. Five existing Erskine Street trees are proposed to be retained.

Sustainability is also a significant component of the Great Design Fast Track application. The apartments are targeting an average eight-star NatHERS rating, with no residence below 6.5 stars, while the project has achieved a 75 per cent BESS score. Seven of the eight apartments are designed for cross-ventilation, with the remaining residence using mechanically assisted natural ventilation.

The plans also incorporate an 8kWp rooftop solar system, a 5,000-litre rainwater tank and infrastructure allowing future electric vehicle charging for every residence.

Lowe has a strong portfolio across Melbourne's blue-chip suburbs. They recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/jardin-house-by-lowe-living-camberwell-335-camberwell-road-camberwell-vic-3124">Jardin House by Lowe Living</a> in Camberwell, their first development in the Stonnington LGA.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dvb-projects">DVB Projects</a> is preparing to launch its second Gold Coast apartment development, with demolition now underway on the Broadbeach site as the Sydney developer moves closer to bringing the ultra-luxury project to market.

The 34-level tower at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/137-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">137 Old Burleigh Road</a> will comprise just 49 residences, ranging from half-floor apartments through to full-floor homes and a penthouse. The launch follows the strong sales performance of DVB's nearby Sea Glass development. More than half of the apartments at Sea Glass, on the other side of Broadbeach, have been snapped up, well ahead of its late 2027 completion

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2944b4be-c84e-4b54-8dc1-c712e76704c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/E02_Exterior_Street%20Level%20Entrance.jpg?VersionId=YoNig7pRdrE3HCue7sUj78LzJteeQf3H" />

The start of demolition at 137 Old Burleigh Road signals DVB Projects’ underlying confidence in the Gold Coast’s luxury beachside apartment sector.

“We see the Gold Coast as one of the most compelling lifestyle markets in Australia, particularly at the premium end where demand continues to deepen,” said Dean Brown, Managing Director of DVB.&nbsp;

“This project has been carefully designed to respond to that demand - delivering large-format residences with a level of quality, privacy and amenity that is still relatively rare in the apartment market on the beachside."

Brown says the site itself is "exceptional."

"Old Burleigh Road is one of the most tightly held beachfront strips, and opportunities to deliver a project of this scale and calibre in this location are extremely limited.”

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="398f377a-c037-455e-9250-0c5e0d84c35b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/I12_FF%20Balcony.jpg?VersionId=NwOiRWGMubR1c8wthuEfggklcja7al9." />

The project will comprise 40 half-floor residences of approximately 260 sqm, alongside eight full-floor residences spanning around 524 sqm.

A single penthouse will crown the building, featuring a private pool, barbecue area, indoor gym and dedicated entertaining spaces.

Residents will have access to a resort-style suite of amenities, including a 20-metre pool with daybeds, a gymnasium, hot and cold plunge pools, a sauna, and private residents’ lounge and dining facilities.

Sales agent Todd Matheson, of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/pezet-matheson">Pezet Matheson</a>, which is marketing both 137 Old Burleigh Road and Sea Glass, said 137 Old Burleigh Road would address a clear gap in the market for genuine luxury products.

“There are very few opportunities on the Gold Coast where buyers can secure a residence of this size and quality in a new building,” Matheson said.

“What we’re seeing is a growing cohort of downsizers and interstate buyers who still want space - they’re not willing to compromise on living area, entertaining or finishes.

“This project has been designed with that buyer in mind. It offers the scale of a home, combined with the convenience and security of apartment living, in one of the coast’s most desirable positions.”

Located on a 1,156 sqm site one block from the beachfront, the development will replace an ageing walk-up building and is expected to contribute to the ongoing transformation of the Old Burleigh Road strip into one of the Gold Coast’s most prestigious residential corridors.

With the development moving into the delivery phase, 137 Old Burleigh Road is slated to hit the market later this year.

DVB Projects to launch second Broadbeach apartment tower as demolition commences

<a data-end="327" data-is-only-node="" data-start="250" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/norus-projects" rel="noopener" target="_new">Norus Developments</a> has lodged plans for a new apartment development in Clayton that would add further momentum to the suburb's emerging Green Street corridor.

Plans have been lodged for the consolidated site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1359-1365-centre-road-clayton-vic-3168">1359-1365 Centre Road</a>, where Norus is seeking approval for 218 apartments across a 12-storey apartment building designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/life-architecture-and-urban-design">Life Architecture</a>.

The proposal sits within the Clayton Major Activity Centre at the threshold of the planned Green Street corridor, a landscaped pedestrian connection intended to improve links through the precinct towards Clayton Railway Station.

The development would replace the site's existing collection of low-scale residential and commercial buildings with a single consolidated building, introducing significantly greater housing density to this part of Centre Road.

A retail tenancy is proposed at ground level to activate the Centre Road frontage, accompanied by transparent street interfaces and landscaping intended to create a more pedestrian-focused edge to the development.

<img alt="First look: Norus Developments plans landscape-led apartment project for Clayton’s emerging Green Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0a5a763a-d9e9-4253-af2f-88008de27ebf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Clayton%20a.png?VersionId=S2WJJbat1XVkZwB9SnYtygirXgWHiklX" />

The building has been designed with stepped massing and upper-level setbacks to manage its transition towards surrounding residential properties. The planning report describes the approach as one that integrates the building into the landscape rather than treating landscaping as a secondary element.

"A strong landscape and public realm strategy underpins the proposal," Urbis states in the planning report.

"Public benefits include an affordable housing contribution, a new pocket park, generous landscaped setbacks, deep soil planting and integrated Water Sensitive Urban Design."

The report adds that these elements are intended to create "a permeable, pedestrian-focused ground plane that enhances walkability, supports urban cooling and reinforces the emerging Green Street character."

Biophilic and passive design principles extend through the residential levels, with planting, daylight, natural ventilation and views towards landscaped areas forming part of the amenity strategy.

Parking would be concentrated away from the public realm, with 145 car spaces proposed from the rear laneway rather than dominating the Centre Road frontage.

The proposal follows an extensive pre-application process with the City of Monash. Three formal meetings were held between the project team and Council from December 2025 to March 2026, with the scheme evolving through several concept iterations before the current design was lodged.

The project arrives as Clayton prepares for substantial change around its established activity centre and the wider Suburban Rail Loop precinct. Its position on Centre Road places the development within an existing concentration of shops, services and public transport, while the Green Street connection is intended to strengthen pedestrian access towards Clayton Railway Station.

Burleigh Heads is one of the most popular&nbsp;suburbs across the whole of the Gold Coast when it comes to multi-res apartment developments.

Given how in demand higher density projects are, it&#39;s rare to see a boutique project in the pipeline.

A recent development application lodged by K2H Developments, in a joint venture with&nbsp;Golconda Property Group, will see just four townhouse-style dwellings created at&nbsp;8 Bullimah Avenue -&nbsp;just one street back from Tallebudgera Creek and just the other side of the Gold Coast Highway from Burleigh Head National Park.

They will be&nbsp;built on the 550 sqm site and will each have three-bedrooms and two-bathrooms across the three levels, as well as a garaging for two cars.

&ldquo;Each dwelling has been carefully designed to make the best use of the site whilst enhancing the visual appreciation of the site,&rdquo; UPS said in their development application documents.

<a href="/buildings/beju-residences-8-bullimah-avenue-burleigh-heads"><img alt="" height="776" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-05-06_at_12.39.56_pm.png" width="970" /></a> 
A render of the proposed development at 8 Bullimah Avenue, Burleigh Heads. Image sourced.&nbsp;

Designed by Mi Design Studio, the ground floor will include the garage of each unit and a mud room and store area. The rear of each residence will also include the bin store and clothesline and a small landscape strip.

Each dwelling is benefitted by their own separate access with unit one with its own private access from a separate entrance off Bullimah Avenue and unit four accessed from the rear. Each dwelling has access to the floors above by way of stairs and lift.

The first floor will home the three-bedrooms and two-bathrooms, including an ensuite, with the second-floor featuring the living, kitchen and dining areas, following an open-plan layout that flows seamlessly onto the adjoining balcony areas.

The roof terrace will be open in nature, providing a private open space for the occupants of each dwelling, benefiting from views around the site. The space will also include a stairway, lift, powder room and laundry.

Each unit has a north-eastern aspect with units one and four also benefitting from aspects to the east and north-west respectively.

Benefiting from close proximity to a number of public transport, retail, dining, education and entertainment options, the site is within walking distance to the Koala Park neighbourhood centre, just 1.2-kilometres to Stockland shopping centre and 100-metres from a bus stop along the Gold Coast Highway.

Four residences are set to be built across the 550 sqm site, each with three-bedrooms and two-bathrooms, along with a powder room, and a two-car garage over three-storeys.

Townhouse-style dwellings set for Burleigh Heads site

Peninsula Collection, the final piece of ASF Group&#39;s The Peninsula Hope Island master-planned community, has officially sold out well before the construction completion. 
 
Stage 3 of the gated community development is comprised of 63 three- to five-bedroom apartments (Peninsula Collection) and 22 three-storey terrace homes (Peninsula Terraces). This final stage followed sell-outs&nbsp;of Peninsula Homes and Peninsula Residences, which make up the waterfront community located in Hope Island Resort. 
 
ASF Group Marketing Director Daniel Fang said there was a mix of local owner-occupiers looking to downsize and interstate migrants &amp; investors captivated by the Gold Coast&#39;s lifestyle and value offering. 
 
&ldquo;We saw a lot of demand from southern buyers - particularly from the dense inner-city postcodes of Sydney, Melbourne and also Canberra,&rdquo; Fang said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22034 project_image_fid=170355]

&ldquo;They were drawn to the unique recreational lifestyle of the northern Gold Coast, with three championship golf courses connected by golf buggy tracks adjacent to the community. Furthermore, their decision to move was hastened by lockdowns over the past two years. Other interstate buyers were also attracted by the strong potential for capital gains, with the 2032 Summer Olympics set to be hosted in Brisbane.&rdquo; 
 
On the interest from locals, Fang said the majority sought to downsize to Peninsula Collection and Peninsula Terraces which feature greater accessibility and in-built buttons in each residence linked to gated community security.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22034 project_image_fid=170358]

Construction kicked off on the final stage of The Peninsula right before Christmas, with the final stage slated for completion around mid-next-year.

Archidiom designed the final masterplan&nbsp;release of Peninsula Collection and the adjacent Peninsula Terraces.

Preceding Stage 3 were Peninsula Homes, which comprised 17 townhomes and Peninsula Residences, another collection of 40 apartments.

Peninsula Collection&#39;s apartments offer spacious backwards or balconies with views of the resort - with residential spaces blending seamlessly with the lush surrounds of the precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6762 project_image_fid=191906]

ASF Group is well advanced on their next project, The AU - a different proposition to the Peninsula Collection. 
 
The AU, which is development approved, will see just 14 full-floor apartments rising from the Surfers Paradise beachfront. There are only 12 full-floor apartments (spanning 255m&sup2;) and two-three storey penthouses, one of which was snapped up by a local developer earlier this year for nearly $9 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6762 project_image_fid=194781]

The 19-storey tower located on The Esplanade features striking French Deco-inspired interiors by the Sydney interior design legend, Greg Natale. 
 
This resort-style residential tower takes full advantage of its beachside location. Residents are offered a selection of world-class amenities including an oceanview wet-edge pool, gym, sauna, club lounge and in-person concierge service. 
 
&quot;What&#39;s unique about The AU is that you can make the most of the Gold Coast&#39;s world-class beachfront from morning til night,&quot; Fang says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6762 project_image_fid=193345]

&quot;The Esplanade promenade offers an unparalleled level of access to the beach throughout the day, with residents enjoying a game of volleyball or having a beachside picnic on the well-lit Surfers Paradise Beach.&quot; 
 
&quot;You can think of the promenade as what you would find in the beachside boardwalks of Miami or Nice - an energetic coastal strip that is a hub of culture and entertainment for the community.&quot;

&quot;As Surfers Paradise experiences a fundamental transformation through new infrastructure projects and precincts being built, The AU offers a unique and exclusive opportunity in a world-renowned neighbourhood synonymous with the Gold Coast.&quot;

Construction kicked off on the final stage of The Peninsula right before Christmas, with the final stage slated for completion for mid-next year.

The first resort and marina precinct in almost 20 years is set to be launched in the Whitsundays.

The approved $350 million Shute Harbour Marina Resort&nbsp;aims to transform Shute Harbour into an extensive foreshore with a&nbsp;resort hotel and a&nbsp;residential precinct featuring restaurants, retail outlets and marine services.

A new near 400-berth marina will also be part of the development.<img alt="" height="3095" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/211208_v1_final.jpg" width="5000" />

Shute Harbour Marina Resort will be the first major marina and residential development in the Whitsundays since 2006 and will create the ultimate waterfront lifestyle for residents and tourists in one of the world&rsquo;s most sought-after sailing locations.

The multi-use marina, located on a prime 28-hectare waterfront site, will tap into a critical shortage of secure cyclone protected boat moorings in the state&rsquo;s north.

The marina resort will provide a much-needed boost for post-Covid tourism in the Whitsundays region and create 700 jobs during and post-construction.

Shute Harbour Marina Resort will also include a new commercial hub known as Pier 61, as part of a master-planned marina plaza that will create a range of new retail and commercial outlets for the waterfront development.

&ldquo;This is a development of regional and state significance that will deliver enormous benefit to the local economy,&rdquo; said Project Director Mark Daniels, who heads the&nbsp;consortium developing the project.

&ldquo;Shute Harbour is the gateway to the Whitsundays, with an outstanding marina location, and our plans will bring much needed tourism infrastructure to the region and complement the township&rsquo;s existing tourism and marine facilities.&rdquo;

&ldquo;In particular, we&rsquo;ve seen growing demand for marina berths in recent years and this is an exceptional offering that delivers a highly accessible mainland residential marina resort with a superb range of amenities and supporting services,&rdquo; he added.

The Shute Harbour Marina Resort master plan comprises 58 managed resort dwellings, each with their own private marina berths of 25 to 35-metres at their doorstep, along with managed apartments with resort club facilities, and a 100-plus room resort hotel, including function and meeting rooms, bars, restaurants, swimming pool and undercover parking.

The entire precinct will be linked by public boardwalks, lookout spaces and seating throughout, with plans to also establish new public parks and a community cyclone shelter on site.

Shute Harbour Marina Resort is poised to become a popular destination for residents, locals and tourists who will be drawn to the village-style precinct that will host a marina cafe and bar, marina club, supermarket, bottle shop, marina office, chandlery, marine electronics and charter operators.

The project is being undertaken by an Australian consortium headed by Mark Daniels, Mark McLachlan, Greg Phillips and Sam Wade.

The consortium members have a combined 70 years&rsquo; experience in the development industry with a collective delivery of projects to the tune of $1.25 billion, including Encounter Lakes, Encounter Bay SA &ndash; an award winning regional residential development set around a man-made environmentally sustainable saltwater self- flushing lake, Holdfast Shores, Glenelg SA &ndash; an integrated residential, tourism, retail and commercial development involving co-operative action between Commonwealth, State and Local Government, and Seaford, Noarlunga SA &ndash; a major urban &ldquo;Greenfield&rdquo; development comprising the transformation of 730 hectares into an integrated community development with a projected population over 15,000.

Daniels, who has extensive experience in project delivery in the Whitsundays region over the past decade, said the development is a game-changer for Shute Harbour which is set to benefit from the recent reopening of international borders.

Marina berths will range from 10 to 35 metres for mono and multi-hull craft, while the proposed land and berth packages will include marina facilities to accommodate boats up to 35-metres.

Berths are priced between $175,000 and $1 million, with each berth sold on a 99- year lease. Stage one will offer free-hold residential waterfront sites of 440 sqm which are earmarked for two and three-storey design concepts, with the land-and-berth prices starting from $1.75 million.

Expressions of interest are also being taken on future stages which will include marina loft apartments and plaza terrace homes. Development of the first stage of Shute Harbour Marina Resort, which will include the marina and the stage-one release of land and marina berths, is expected to take two years to complete.

Construction is targeted to commence in 12 months.

Shute Harbour Marina Resort has taken 20 years to gain all necessary approvals to proceed and was identified as a project of significance by the Queensland Government in 2006. The project benefits from its accessibility by air with three regional airports located within 30-minutes to 90-minutes drive.

The Whitsundays has a population of more than 35,500 people with tourism among the major contributors to the region&rsquo;s $5.9 billion economy.

The master planned foreshore development will feature a resort hotel alongside an extensive residential precinct featuring restaurants, retail outlets and marine services.

National integrated property developer and investor, Cbus Property has announced the appointment of Hutchinson Builders on the next phase of works on its residential tower on the Brisbane CBD riverfront, 443 Queen St.

They&#39;ll be taking over from the collapsed builder Probuild, who were in the final stages of the construction process before their demise.

The announcement marks Cbus Property&rsquo;s third collaboration with Australia&rsquo;s largest privately owned builder, following appointments on the 205 North Quay commercial office tower in Brisbane, which is currently under construction, and The Langston Epping, a recently completed three-tower residential development in Sydney&rsquo;s north west.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6226 project_image_fid=37089]

Cbus Property&rsquo;s Chief Executive Officer, Adrian Pozzo, said the business was again &ldquo;proud to partner with Hutchies&rdquo;.

&ldquo;We are confident the appointment of Hutchinson Builders, one of Australia&rsquo;s most renowned and reliable builders, will deliver this iconic residential tower for Brisbane&rsquo;s city skyline to the highest possible standard,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;As communicated to our purchasers, since commencing preliminary works on site three weeks ago, Cbus Property, together with Hutchinson Builders, continues to finalise subcontractor negotiations and prepare a revised construction programme. Once finalised, we will provide an update to purchasers with a more definitive completion timeline.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6226 project_image_fid=37148]

Hutchinson Builders&rsquo; Director, Russell Fryer, confirmed that the contractor was already on site at 443 Queen St, with initial works underway.

&ldquo;We have a long and proud history delivering similar premium high-rise residential projects across Australia,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;We have a handpicked team that has recently completed a five-star hotel, The Langham Gold Coast, demonstrating our ability to achieve the high-quality outcomes expected for 443 Queen St, and we are working closely with Cbus Property, the consultants, subcontractors and suppliers to successfully complete this landmark building for Brisbane.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6226 project_image_fid=37091]

Pozzo said that despite the delays to construction, Cbus Property remained focused on ensuring the successful completion of 443 Queen St and delivering one of the highest-quality residential buildings to be developed in the area.

&ldquo;We continue to reassure purchasers that this unique residential development is nearing completion, and that we will deliver a landmark building with the utmost attention to detail and finish,&rdquo; he said.

Bellevue Queensland, the Brisbane-based, family-ran&nbsp;construction and development firm,&nbsp;have lodged plans for their next local project.

Dubbed Sofia, on a rare&nbsp;triple-road fronted&nbsp;amalgamated site at&nbsp;35 Swann Road and&nbsp;5 Central Avenue in the leafy Taringa, will comprise just 20 apartments across the predominantly five-level building. One apartment&nbsp;is considered a sixth storey due to the sloping topography of the land.

The apartments will range from 106 sqm to 123 sqm, each with three-bedrooms and two-bathrooms.

Designed by Hayes Anderson Lynch Architects, residences follow an open plan design in the living, kitchen and dining areas, created with a focus on suiting local downsizes and families.

The building design is heavily modulated through the use and incorporation of large, cantilevered balconies, angled and curved walls, curved vertical aluminium feature screening, chamfered slab projections and full height window and door glazing.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="758" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-30_at_12.52.31_pm.png" width="1542" />

With a light pastel palette, planter boxes on balconies with trailing greenery, stepped facades and a stepped roof form, help soften the built form and connect it to the local landscape.

A generously sized communal rooftop open space has been devised, designed with both passive and active recreational opportunities. Crowning Sofia will be a pool, barbecue facilities, a dining table and a lounge seating area. The area will be landscaped through raised planter beds located along the Swann Rd and Central Ave frontages.

Located within an urban inner-city pocket of Brisbane, the residences sit less than six-kilometres south-west of Brisbane’s CBD. Residents will be well serviced by nearby public transport, namely Taringa Railway Station and bus stops along both Swann Road and Moggill Road. Sofia also falls within close proximity to a number of major shopping centres, urban services, parks, university and schools.

Bellevue has a number of other projects in the pipeline, with residences, Elba in West End and, Atlas in Lutwyche set to launch soon, as well as Element Residences,&nbsp;an exclusive collection of whole-floor apartments on one of the last remaining spaces along East Brisbane’s riverside promenade.

That will&nbsp;comprise just five four-bedroom apartments&nbsp;and one five-bedroom penthouse.

A private local developer is set to develop&nbsp;a rare new luxury low-rise apartment block in the Gold Coast&#39;s Miami.

The boutique residential development, dubbed SANA, at 5-7 Hythe Street, sits on an amalgamated double block totalling 974 sqm, on the prized eastern side of the Gold Coast Highway.

The developers, a collection of local business people and entrepreneurs, engaged Plus Architecture to create to the four-storey building, which will home just 12 apartments.

<a href="/new-apartments/sana-5-hythe-street-miami-qld-4220"><img alt="" height="1224" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-29_at_2.12.14_pm.png" width="1978" /></a>

SANA has been conceived as a sophisticated, modern take on a surf shack by Plus, who created a number of different configurations, including two beach homes across the ground level, each with three bedrooms.

Four apartments will feature across both levels one and two, with Sana topping out with two penthouse apartments on level three, with each apartment is arranged to maximise views to the Miami coastline and beyond.

Crowning the development, the rooftop will have a communal pool deck as well as two private terraces, each with their own pool.

Plus noted in their submission to the local council that SANA is a boutique development that celebrates the relaxed lifestyle of Miami, Gold Coast.

&quot;A paired back material palette consisting of off-form concrete, aluminium &amp; timber look battens provides an honest yet refined architectural form, that rhythmically follows its surrounding landscapes.

&quot;At a pedestrian scale, landscaping softens the built form and plays background to the raw material palette.

&quot;Fixed screening to all elevations further plays on the soft architectural language, as well as providing appropriate privacy + solar shading.&quot;

Several high frequency bus routes service the area, as well as a number of established active transport routes, with dedicated cyclist and pedestrian facilities along Marine Parade connecting the site to Broadbeach, Mermaid Beach and other surrounding suburbs. Sana residents will also benefit from the future Miami Light Rail Station.

Conceived as a sophisticated surf shack by Plus Architecture, the four-storey building is made up of 12 residences in total.

Iris Capital’s transformation of central Broadbeach has moved a step closer with the Gold Coast Council giving development approval for its $800 million V&amp;A apartments on the site of the Niecon Plaza.

Iris Capital’s CEO Sam Arnaout said the decision&nbsp;would pave the way for an anticipated construction start later this year.

“We’re absolutely delighted that the Gold Coast Council has seen the vision of V&amp;A and how it will play an enormous role in transforming Broadbeach,” said Arnaout.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=178909]

“We were very eager to get the approval to meet our timelines for delivery and we’re now focussing our attention on sales and marketing with the view of a construction start later this year.”

Taking its name from Broadbeach streets, Victoria and Albert, the project will comprise 398 apartments over two towers of 40 and 56 storeys, with a subtropical recreational podium, featuring two levels of premium offices and commercial facilities, and a fresh food and dining retail on the street level.

Design firm, DBI Architects, has curated a design referencing the coastal environment, moving away from smaller unit types to embrace the growing demand for larger apartments.

“V&amp;A Broadbeach presented a unique opportunity to create a lasting icon for the coastal precinct that can be appreciated by more than just its residents,” said DBI Director Raith Anderson.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=184933]

The lower floors will offer a mix of one, two and three-bedroom layouts while the upper residences will offer a mix of three-bedrooms, with both towers topped by sub‐penthouses and penthouses.

“Its design is quintessentially Gold Coast, from its lavish double beach shower and surfboards storages to its cascading subtropical landscaped terraces, V&amp;A is a rare product for those in pursuit of a coastal destination with the lifestyle and cultural variety of a cosmopolitan locale,” Anderson said.&nbsp;

Residents will live among world‐class amenities, with both towers offering an elevated recreational podium with a 25-metre lap pool, a gym, a yoga deck and resident’s lounge as well as kid’s area, a Zen garden, an outdoor dining and barbecue space, all surrounded by lush green landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=184934]

Both towers will feature spacious top floor owners-lounges complete with dining, yoga room, and office space, finished with high end, coastal furnishings.

Colliers’ Director Residential David Higgins said the project had been well received by the market and the council approval removed any impediments on the project.

“There is a great air of excitement about what V&amp;A will do to transform central Broadbeach,” said Higgins.

“The council has recognised the significance and merits of V&amp;A, and also acknowledged the incredible role that the project will play in the city’s cosmopolitan heart.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=184936]

“Unlike many of the projects that have been launched in recent years, V&amp;A will bring an air of sophistication to the cosmopolitan heart and provide apartments from which people can walk to everything they need,” he added.

V&amp;A Broadbeach would create the first high end residential, retail and culinary precinct in central Broadbeach since the Oracle towers more than a decade ago.

“Currently Broadbeach has plentiful luxury full-floor and half-floor three-bedroom-plus apartments on the market, but very few offer a choice of one, two and three-bedroom apartments with access to leading luxury amenity”, said Higgins.

“Historically Broadbeach has had a very strong family market and V&amp;A will bring this market right back into the frame. We’ve introduced a mix of product right in the heart of Broadbeach that attracts the family buyer, luxury downsizer and investors looking for solid returns as the Gold Coast grows out of the Covid lockdowns.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=180734]

“The project scores a 10 out of 10 for walkability located in the heart of Broadbeach in walking distance to the light rail, the casino, convention centre, the restaurant precinct and the beach and will bring a new type of residential apartments to the market that we have not seen for some time,” he noted.

Iris Capital,&nbsp;founded and led by entrepreneur Sam Arnaout, has extended its reach over the past decade to become a developer of&nbsp;integrated residential and mixed-use developments.

The company now holds a $5 billion enterprise value, having significantly expanded its footprint over the past year through the acquisition of 17 Ibis hotels from AccorInvest.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109813 project_image_fid=196624]

&ldquo;Our sales team had 40 appointments booked on the first day of Oasis&rsquo; soft launch, 25 of which sold that very same day,&quot; Juniper said.

&quot;There&rsquo;s been a sense of urgency and we&rsquo;ve certainly had people vying to get a piece of the action.

&ldquo;Buyers are largely locals and those from wider South East Queensland who understand the beauty of this area and the rarity in stock like this, both in its very premium yet simplistic design and the incredible oceanfront vantage on Longboard Walk.

&ldquo;Quietly tucked between Caloundra and Mooloolaba, this location offers connection to the best of the suburb and beyond.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109813 project_image_fid=196622]

Positioned with uninterrupted ocean views on the last remaining beachfront location on Bokarina Beach, Oasis has two-bedroom apartments from $800,000 and three-bedroom apartments from $1 million.

The&nbsp;project also features two-level penthouses that boast secluded rooftop terraces and private plunge pools, starting from $3.2 million.

Juniper said they expected to be sold out within the week.

It comes at the same time that Cube has sold out its Nature by Cube project further up the road in Cotton Tree, with the 12 apartments selling for a combined value of $43 million, including its $7 million penthouse.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89721 project_image_fid=172105]

&ldquo;Nature is an extremely exclusive project given the handful of residences on offer, and is unique to the coast from an architectural and materiality standpoint,&quot; Juniper added.

&quot;The sheer amount of amenity and meticulous attention to detail in the design of each home is what sets it apart in the market.

&ldquo;We want to deliver something that hasn&rsquo;t been experienced before here on the Sunshine Coast, to offer an unparalleled lifestyle, and buyers responded well to this vision.

&ldquo;The strong desire for prestige property is palpable in this region, it&rsquo;s a matter of supply struggling to keep up with demand.&quot;

Located just 8-kilometres from the CBD and only 15-minutes to the Brisbane Airport, Fable is placed to take advantage of both the immediate neighbourhood as well as the wider Brisbane City.

Previously&nbsp;the idea for the site was for high density apartments across four buildings, but&nbsp;Rogerscorp Director Simon Rogers said the new plans meet the evolving needs of the surrounding neighbourhood and ensures families have modern living options within the community that suit their lifestyle.

&ldquo;Everton Park is one of the suburbs in north-west Brisbane that has changed rapidly in recent years thanks to a variety of new amenity and &lsquo;city lifestyle&rsquo; offerings,&quot; Rogers said.

&ldquo;We wanted to challenge the ideals of residential living and introduce elements of resort style living.

&quot;We realised this offered more opportunity for the residents to do what they love and enjoy most.&quot;

Similar to the site being surrounded by amenity, the masterplan surrounds a central park, the focal point of private amenity and congregation for the residents and its visitors. Residents will enjoy ultra-exclusivity with an array of resort-style facilities&nbsp;including recreation and relaxation amenities like a pool, sun lounges, herb and veggie garden, barbecue pavilion, pizza oven, and fire pits.

Precinct planning in the design was key to afford each concourse an identity dissimilar to that of another. This is done through a variance of unparalleled built forms, a strategy not often associated with townhouse developments. In doing so it creates an identity and a sense of belonging to each dwelling that is unique to its setting within the development.

The town and terrace homes include designer appliances and high-quality finishes throughout.

&quot;As the modern way of living changes, the way we think about and design homes must also adapt. To us, this meant creating spaces that were inviting and nurturing, where self-care and wellbeing simply became part of everyday life.&rdquo;

&ldquo;Fable was curated to be a collection of ultra-modern, sustainable and bespoke masterpieces,&quot; Rogers added.

&quot;Through well considered architecture it seamlessly fuses with the surrounding urban and natural area, this is why Fable is set to redefine urban living.&rdquo;
