National developer Time &amp; Place appears to have settled on a design for its long-anticipated Potts Point project.

After several years of back and forth with local council and the NSW Government, the developer, which has spent close to a decade targeting the former The Chimes site on Macleay Street, has now progressed its plans.

Following a concept design submission last year by SJB, Time &amp; Place has lodged a full State Significant Development Application with the NSW Government, this time for a scheme designed by Kerry Hill Architects.

<img alt="Time &amp; Place" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="504d2a27-d65f-4227-8189-1e35e3376e62" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-20%20at%209.38.24%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=_XqFKATYHF30KnVByPxhaI9UBzmkmfn7" />

The 16-storey proposal includes 44 apartments, 21 of which will be build-to-sell. These will comprise 19 three-bedroom apartments and two four-bedroom penthouses.

More than 50 per cent of the development will be dedicated to affordable housing, with 23 one- and two-bedroom apartments delivered in line with the NSW Government’s Housing SEPP.

Kerry Hill Architects said the proposal is driven by a strong response to place.

“Our proposal for a new residential building for Potts Point in Sydney is driven by a deep consideration of place,” the practice said in its submission.

“This operates on multiple levels, including a landscape approach that reinstates endemic flora of the Sydney peninsula and provides a ground-floor garden for residents, reconnecting the site to its pre-European history. A brick podium further strengthens this relationship to context, integrating planting and fine bronze detailing that references the predominant material language of Macleay Street.”

The three-level podium will be topped by a communal resident space, featuring a covered pool designed to receive direct afternoon sun in winter, a neighbouring reflection pool, dining and event areas oriented to maximise sunset views, and an outdoor exercise zone.

<img alt="Time &amp; Place" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8d3eedc1-babb-44a3-bd96-d8a42f3adf1f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-20%20at%209.37.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Ii7.4dvqNatu5GQi6bhqNjAswrMB998." />

The design also incorporates highly crafted shopfronts and a clearly defined residential entry to activate the street. Juliette balconies to the podium residences will provide passive surveillance and a strong sense of habitation.

Above, the larger apartments are housed within a light-coloured masonry and bronze tower.

“The tower steps back in a series of gently curved volumes that reference the rich Art Deco context of Macleay Street,” the architects said. “Carefully calibrated vertical fins frame the views while providing privacy and a sense of refuge.”

Time &amp; Place has been one of the most active developers nationally in the last 12 to 24 months. Late last year they completed&nbsp;The Queensbridge in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/southbank-vic-3006">Southbank</a>, a mixed-use tower with 353 apartments and a hotel. They are currently selling Park Modern, 246 apartments near the famous Botanic Gardens in South Melbourne.

The developer has approval for The Burke, a mixed-use project in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/glen-iris-vic-3146">Glen Iris</a>&nbsp;being delivered in partnership with Woolworths. The 60 apartments, positioned above a new Woolworths supermarket, are expected to launch in the coming months. Time &amp; Place is also progressing plans for the redevelopment of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/northcote-vic-3070">Northcote</a>&nbsp;Plaza, and have recently submitted plans for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/vic/time-place-unveils-plans-22-storey-south-melbourne-tower">22-storey tower</a>, another in South Melbourne.

In&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a>, the developer has two projects in Manly: Two Tides, which is currently under construction, and an ultra high-end building on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/shoreline-manly-beach-89-90-north-steyne-manly">North Steyne</a>, fronting the beach. It is also continuing to work through the redevelopment of The Chimes building on Macleay Street in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/potts-point-nsw-2011">Potts Point</a>, as well as Marlborough House, the redevelopment of the original David Jones warehouse building in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/surry-hills-nsw-2010">Surry Hills</a>.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/develotek">Develotek</a> is joining the likes of TOGA, Deicorp, and One Global Capital, betting on a boom in Five Dock ahead of the 2032 mooted opening of the Five Dock Metro Station.

Develotek, which is currently developing Bianca on the Drummoyne waterfront and has plans approved for a tower in Chatswood, has filed a State Significant Development Application for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/79-81-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">two-building project in the evolving Kings Bay precinct</a>.

The buildings, one more boutique just five storeys and the other 26 storeys, will rise from an 3,158 sqm site across&nbsp;79–81 Queens Road and 2–8 Spencer Street, will home 134 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, above ground-floor retail and five basement levels of parking.

A key component of the proposal is the inclusion of 15 per cent of residential floor space as in-fill affordable housing, unlocking additional height and density under the Housing SEPP.

<img alt="First Look: Develotek lodges State Significant shop top housing project in Five Dock precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3ee31bf7-75ba-4bc5-b190-49885193219f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/podium_2.png?VersionId=730UbrduuwK3C1sO28RHjiLPUPqXqjkh" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-studio">Plus Studio</a>, the scheme adopts a podium-and-tower configuration, with a five-storey street wall along Queens Road transitioning to a 26-storey tower set deeper into the site. The ground plane prioritises activation and permeability, with retail frontages and a new through-site link connecting Queens Road to Spencer Street.

At the upper levels, the tower façade has been conceived using a modular system to support prefabrication and reduce construction waste, while improving build efficiency. The splayed form draws on the geometry of surrounding industrial rooftops, reinterpreting the area’s heritage in a contemporary expression while also helping to reduce solar heat gain to east and west-facing apartments.

“This project aspires to transform a former industrial site into a connected, resilient and people-focused urban community, grounded in Country, shaped by history, and designed to enrich everyday life within the evolving Kings Bay Precinct,” said John Walsh, Principal at Plus Studio.

The proposal reflects the broader transformation of the Kings Bay Precinct under the Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation Strategy, marking a shift from its industrial past to a higher-density, mixed-use urban neighbourhood.

<img alt="First Look: Develotek lodges State Significant shop top housing project in Five Dock precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="abde734c-1e31-4a97-a1d2-fa9bcf31c380" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/building%20podium.png?VersionId=fNUupP6u146yEytQT31kKVRxwtACgPpP" />

Develotek is emerging as an active participant in the state’s affordable housing-led uplift pathway. The developer recently secured approval for a 34-storey mixed-use tower in Chatswood, where it similarly leveraged the in-fill affordable housing provisions to increase scale and deliver a 101-unit scheme with dedicated affordable apartments.

Their entry into Five Dock places them alongside a growing list of developers targeting the suburb ahead of its anticipated transport uplift, with Sydney Metro set to extend into the area. Major players including TOGA, Deicorp, and One Global Capital are all progressing large-scale precinct-style developments nearby, collectively reshaping the low-rise industrial fabric into a higher-density mixed-use corridor.

The Five Dock site sits within the Kings Bay Precinct, a key renewal area under the Parramatta Road Corridor Urban Transformation Strategy, where planning controls support significant uplift tied to affordable housing delivery. The consolidated 3,158 sqm site is currently occupied by low-rise industrial uses, including warehouses and vehicle workshops, earmarked for transition.

Ascot’s Racecourse Road continues to be a hive of activity for Brisbane developers.

Following Fortis and GRAYA, which are both preparing new projects along the key strip connecting Kingsford Smith Drive and Eagle Farm Racecourse, local developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/skyhold">Skyhold</a> is the latest to lodge plans for its own development.

The group is proposing One One Two Residences, a boutique project comprising just seven apartments, named after its address at 112 Racecourse Road.

The proposal outlines a five-storey building on an 810 sqm site. The built form slightly exceeds the four-storey expectation under the neighbourhood plan, aligning instead with the emerging character of the strip. As the planning report notes, “the locality is characterised by a transition toward medium-rise residential development, with a number of recent developments… above the stipulated height limits.”

<img alt="First Look: Skyhold lodges plans for boutique Ascot apartments as Racecourse Road revival gathers pace" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ec577631-8c51-4163-960e-e7b3a77d655b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Ascot.png?VersionId=iAzQ46D4Uu1UqiS0mVnlcy9jeFKBpJIj" />

Designed by 111 with landscape architecture by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/paul-bangay-garden-design">Paul Bangay Studio</a>, the scheme adopts a layered architectural approach with strong articulation and a subtropical response. Deep balconies, integrated planters, and a mix of masonry and textured finishes define the façade, while upper-level setbacks reduce perceived bulk. The architectural statement describes “a series of horizontally expressed layers, defined by deep balconies and a consistent robust material palette,” aimed at delivering a refined streetscape presence.

Apartments are configured as large-format residences, including multiple three-bedroom layouts and a full-floor penthouse, supported by ground-level parking. A rooftop terrace will provide communal amenities including a pool and landscaped recreation areas. The design prioritises privacy, natural ventilation, and greenery, with planting integrated across all levels to soften the building form and contribute to the public realm.

The proposal sits within the Racecourse Road precinct, a key mixed-use spine in Ascot that continues to attract renewed development interest.

Later this year national developer Fortis will launch its own boutique development, which, pending council approvals, will be 16 apartments designed by Koichi Takada Architects, just down the street.

“Racecourse Road is going through a massive revitalisation and we’re proud to be a part of that transformation,” said Fortis's QLD General Manager, Dan Boman.

Nearby, GRAYA is advancing its larger-scale The Gallery, a mixed-use shop-top housing project designed to act as a “catalytic project for Racecourse Road.”

Twenty-five years after launching one of Australia’s most visionary and successful masterplanned beach communities - Casuarina on the Northern NSW Tweed Coast - developer Consolidated Properties Group has unveiled plans for an $800 million sister project located 10 kilometres south, at Cudgera Creek near the coastal town of Pottsville.

CPG has taken the wraps off Caldera, a 78-hectare masterplanned village that builds on the legacy of Casuarina and aims to help address Northern NSW’s coastal housing shortage via the delivery of 550 homes built in a sustainable manner and addressing affordability and housing diversity, while also focusing on architectural and ecological merit.

Caldera is being brought to life by the same creative team that delivered Casuarina, led by Consolidated Properties CEO and chairman Don O’Rorke, Hutchinson Builders chairman Scott Hutchinson and renowned urban designer Brian Toyota, of architectural practice Bureau Proberts.

CPG has lodged a rezoning application with Tweed Shire Council for the Caldera site, which has been designated since 1991 as the Dunloe Park Urban Release Area, the final land release area within the Pottsville locality and one of only four remaining growth areas along the entire Tweed coastal strip. Preliminary plans for Caldera feature a 13-hectare retail and commercial precinct at the core of the village, surrounded by meticulously planned residential areas comprising around 550 homesites.

The retail hub will be anchored by a Coles Supermarket and will offer 7000 sqm of retail and 23 commercial lots designed to serve the local community and bring together curated shopping, dining, gym, wellness, childcare, medical and other essential services.

<img alt="Cons prop" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fca7dc71-4b71-45b1-bb04-5a60bd7158d0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-20%20at%208.34.04%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=vAKwIvLuwmTKj6blHJRYIEeXS_8lCgUx" />

The project will create more than 1500 jobs over its development cycle, according to its economic modelling, and significantly address the shortage of employment land in the Tweed.

The residential areas will encourage a sense of community via a cohesive urban design that encourages walking, cycling, enhanced resident connectivity and reduced reliance on cars via bike paths and pedestrian-friendly streets.

Homesites will include a range of options from premium ridge-top homes to affordable housing options, ensuring a community that is inclusive of different income levels and designed to appeal to a wide demographic from baby boomers to families, singles and professionals. Architectural and planting covenants on home building will support the village’s built form and protect its character.

O’Rorke says CPG intends Caldera to be a model project delivered efficiently in a dedicated urban release area and ‘very much for this region and for this time’.

“Our vision for Caldera is to create a modern coastal village with its own unique northern NSW identity,” he said.

“Building on our legacy of Casuarina, 25 years on, this new village is designed to stand apart, offering the future of modern living, balancing the natural beauty of the region with contemporary amenities and convenience.

“Caldera will be more than just a place to live - it will be a welcoming, inclusive coastal village neighbouring Pottsville that invites visitors and embraces new residents. With its strong ties to the land, vibrant lifestyle and sense of place, Caldera will set a new standard for village living in Northern NSW.”

<img alt="CPG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9a5a7cf4-5f76-4ddf-bd05-c8fb77d0a787" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-20%20at%208.33.59%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=J1CzCGD7kE7fcAMd41V4pKAf_sI4L5Jv" />

The project’s centrepiece is environmental sustainability, with comprehensive wetlands protection measures and planting of native trees, parklands, village greens and communal grounds to enhance the natural beauty of the area.

CPG will also deliver a developer-funded wastewater treatment plant to ensure zero ocean outflows and provide high quality long-term infrastructure for Tweed Shire.

A key focus is wildlife management planning, including extensive conservation controls for the West Pottsville koala population, aligned with Tweed Shire Council’s Koala Plan of Management and designed to enhance koala habitat connectivity and future population growth.

Caldera will extend the existing koala corridor by connecting koala precincts west of the Pacific Highway with populations in the north and east precincts. A koala underpass will be created under Pottsville Road to complete the connection of this important corridor. Native tree plantings will expand essential koala food sources, while approximately eight kilometres of exclusion fencing will be constructed to safeguard the koalas from urban threats.

The Caldera site is nestled in the hills of Cudgera Creek and benefits from its rich natural surroundings including the Pottsville Wetland, Cudgera Creek Nature Reserve and nearby Pottsville Beach.

It takes its name from the surrounding Tweed Shield Volcano and Caldera, the vast bowl-shaped depression stretching from Byron Bay to the Queensland border that 20 million years ago was the world’s largest shield volcano and which has shaped the region’s striking landscape, with Mount Warning standing as one of its most iconic features.

The development is a joint venture between CPG and Pottsville Development Corporation, which made its first investment in Pottsville more than 45 years ago and is the developer of Black Rocks By the Sea, a masterplanned community now part of the fabric of Pottsville and which was the catalyst for the construction of a bridge across the Pottsville Estuary, providing direct access to the beach.

CPG’s $1.5 billion Casuarina Beach township, 10 kilometres to the north of Caldera, commenced construction in 2000 and has become the model for modern Australian, eco-sensitive beachside development.

Growing national developer Time &amp; Place has announced its fifth new apartment development.

With two projects in Manly and two upcoming in Surry Hills and Potts Point, the developer, which expanded beyond Melbourne just a few years ago, is now heading to Mosman. It is planning 53 new apartments on Redan Street.

The 3,233 sqm site, spanning <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/40-48-redan-street-mosman-nsw-2088">40–48 Redan Street</a> with frontage to Redan Lane, is located just under 400 metres from Spit Junction Town Centre. It is reported the developer paid around $100 million for the five-site amalgamation.

Time &amp; Place, founded by Tim Price and backed by James Packer’s private investment firm NPACT, has submitted the project as a State Significant Development through the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

Of the 53 apartments, 42 will be released to the market, with the remaining 11 allocated as affordable housing in line with NSW Government requirements.

fjc Studio has designed the building. In its Design Report, the architect said the diverse mix of dwelling types and sizes, including 11 two-bedroom affordable housing units, 40 three-bedroom apartments, and two four-bedroom residences, will support a broad demographic, including families, downsizers, and key workers.

The development will rise to nine levels, a height encouraged by the NSW Government due to the site’s proximity to Spit Junction, which has been identified as a low- to mid-rise centre. Developments within a certain proximity to these centres are permitted increased height.

fjc said the project “achieves an appropriate density outcome for its setting by balancing increased housing supply with strong amenity performance,” adding that it “makes a measurable contribution to NSW housing supply targets through the delivery of additional dwellings and dedicated affordable housing.”

The new development will replace five existing two-storey homes.

“By aligning with the objectives of the Housing SEPP and applying careful architectural and urban design principles, the development provides high-quality residential accommodation that integrates sensitively within its established Mosman context and delivers enduring benefits to residents and the wider community.”

Mosman has become increasingly popular with developers in recent years.

Developer Abadeen has been particularly active, with Mosman Residences currently on the market and under construction on Clifford Street. It also has an upcoming Burran Avenue project, comprising just three apartments on the Balmoral Slopes, and recently secured the Midas and Honeysuckle nursery site on Military Road.

Prosker Property has a project on Redan Lane, just a few doors down from Time &amp; Place’s proposed development.

Developers including Toohey Miller, DARE Property Group, and WINIM also have projects underway in the area. In 2024, a five-year target was set for the Mosman LGA to increase housing supply by 500 dwellings by 2029.

Time &amp; Place entered the Sydney market with Two Tides, its under construction Manly development. Given its sales success, it has secured another development in the area, more boutique, facing the beach on North Steyne.

They are hoping to launch their redevelopment of The Chimes in Potts Point this year, and next year will look to take to market Marlborough House, an adaptive re-use of the landmark David Jones warehouse in Surry Hills.

Veue Central: Inside the latest stage of Sekisui's $1 billion Norwest masterplan, The Orchards

In the heart of the bustling West End district, Sekisui House Australia's West Village has garnered widespread attention from prospective homeowners.

Their latest release in the thriving precinct, which kicked off development way back in 2014 and has won over 50 local and international awards, is The Allere Collection, which comprises two side-by-side towers, Uno and Duo.

Sekisui has sold over 85 per cent of apartments in the two buildings, which present one of the last chances to buy into the masterplan. Sekisui only has one more tower left, which won't launch until next year, and is all three-bedroom apartments.

Uno and Duo, currently under construction, will&nbsp;integrate seamlessly into the thriving West Village community, which is already a fully functioning, active village.

The two towers, due to be completed in late 2024, stands as a testament to Sekisui's decade-long commitment to transforming the revered Peters Ice Cream factory site into an award-winning urban haven.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=210749]

Central to the allure of this 2.6-hectare precinct are the heritage-listed former Peters Ice Cream factories, standing as a reminder of the area's industrial heritage. West Village will comprise 1,200 residences when it's completed.

Complementing the residences is a generous offering of amenities, including 20,000 sqm of commercial space, an expansive 18,000 sqm retail precinct, and a one-hectare expanse of open parklands and heritage laneways.

The appeal of The Allere Collection has extended across a diverse range of demographics, resonating with first home buyers, pet owners, and both young and established families.

The Collection's prime location on Mollison Street, in close proximity to seven schools, enhances its allure among families seeking convenient access to education hubs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204872]

Designed by the renowned architecture firm Rothelowman, both Uno and Duo towers soar 20 storeys above the West End precinct, offering a harmonious blend of contemporary aesthetics and functional design. What sets The Allere Collection apart is its unique proposition of dual amenity access. Residents will have the privilege of enjoying shared access to the rooftop offerings of both Uno and Duo towers.

The Uno tower stands as an oasis in the sky, featuring a rooftop pool, an enclosed dining space, seating areas, a thoughtfully designed vegetable garden, and a conservatory. Adding a touch of luxury for four-legged friends, the 'Paw Pavilion' serves as an off-leash dog space, ensuring furry companions can relish the outdoors without leaving the comfort of the rooftop.

The Duo tower boasts its own set of rooftop delights, including a pool, a heated spa for relaxation, an enclosed lounge room and dining area for social gatherings, and outdoor barbecue facilities paired with sun loungers for a seamless blend of leisure and entertainment.

Join us for an exclusive conversation with Lloyd Dunn, the Project Director at West Village by Sekisui House Australia. In this engaging interview, we delve into the heart of this remarkable development, uncovering its unique features and the driving forces behind its success.

How Sekisui House Australia's West Village has transformed Brisbane's West End Precinct

The final apartments in the penultimate towers of Sekisui's West End masterplan, West Village, are now being sold.

The Allere Collection, which comprises two side-by-side towers Uno and Duno, is over 85 per cent sold. They'll be joining a thriving, well established community when they're completed in late 2024, a decade after Sekisui started the award-winning redevelopment of the much-loved Peters Ice Cream factory site.

The Allere Collection has proven popular with a variety of demographics, from first home buyers, pet owners, and young and established families, given the Mollison Street project sits within close proximity to seven schools.

Both Uno and Duo have been designed by renowned architecture firm Rothelowman, and rise 20 storeys above the West End precinct.

Residents within the Allere Collection will also have the benefit of enjoying double the amenity, with shared access to both Uno and Duo rooftops.

Crowning the Uno tower will be a pool, enclosed dining space, seating areas, a vegetable garden, conservatory, as well as ‘Paw Pavilion’ - an off leash dog space on the rooftop.&nbsp;Topping Duo will be a pool, heated spa, enclosed lounge room and dining space, along with outdoor barbecue facilities and sun loungers.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=207148]

The Allere Collection offers an incredibly connected lifestyle for it's resident which not many other projects can offer in the whole of Brisbane, given a large part of the extensive 2.6 hectare masterplan is dedicated to creating a connected village vibe.

A full-line Woolworths supermarket ensures easy access to daily essentials, while Harris Farm Markets provides fresh produce. Goodlife Health Clubs cater to fitness needs, and a chemist and medical centre offer comprehensive healthcare services.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204843]

There's over 25 food and lifestyle providers which offers a diverse range of dining and leisure options.

Art and culture enthusiasts will find delight in the on-site Metro Arts Theatre Precinct, hosting regular performances by renowned organisations such as Opera Queensland and Queensland's Chamber Orchestra, Camerata.&nbsp;

Nestled within a living heritage village that pays homage to the iconic Peters Ice Cream and Cone Factories, The Allere Collection embraces its rich history. Built in 1920, the factories have become an integral part of the village's charm and character.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204874]

Sustainability lies at the core of The Allere Collection's ethos. The development incorporates various initiatives to minimise its environmental impact and create a harmonious living space.&nbsp;As a 6-star Green Star Community, it sets a new standard for environmentally friendly living. Tinted windows help reduce heat gain and energy bills, while rainwater tanks and plumbing for a greywater recycling system contribute to water conservation. A 21kW solar PV system generates renewable energy for communal areas, reducing the community's reliance on traditional power sources.

Expansive green spaces provide residents with a connection to nature, while sustainability measures are integrated throughout the community. The Walk Score of 99 out of 100 signifies the high level of walkability and accessibility.

Sekisui launch fourth stage at Norwest masterplanned community, The Orchards

Brisbane's off the plan property market led the country in sales comparative to how much stock is on the market, according to Urbis' Apartment Essentials National Snapshot Q1 2023.

Brisbane just edged the Gold Coast having the highest sales rate as a percentage. Nearly a fifth of apartments that were on the market sold in Q1.

Sydney and Perth were just below the 10 per cent mark, while Melbourne had the largest gap with just five per cent of apartments selling compared to how many are on the market.

<img alt="Brisbane Q1" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="81fa8299-1584-4fda-8cb9-b0889a7f574e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-06-15%20at%208.33.22%20am.png?VersionId=WWA34iAicIoYMjKHpZMnlSfnL_cyK3cM" />

Brisbane was pushed to the highest sales to supply rate due to two projects in Toowong.

Mosaic's The Prescott, which is only in its presale phase, secured 94 sales in Q1 with an average sale price of $973,000. There's only 100 apartments in the Lissner Street development.

The next best performer was Monarch Residences, the recently launched project by Don O'Rorke's Consolidated Properties. They scored 75 sales in Q1, at an average sale price of just over $1 million. Nine apartments in the development have sold for over $4 million.

They've got 224 apartments across the two towers, which Hutchinsons Builders have just started constructing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=211492]

James MacGinley, Head of Residential at Consolidated Properties Group, said the key to selling in the current market is really understanding the buyer demographic.

"At Monarch Residences, we have split our penthouse collection between the top floors and the lower level along the riverfront.

"This decision was made to appeal to two distinct groups of buyers - those wanting a traditional penthouse with horizon views, and those looking for a ‘river home’ with the benefits of apartment living."

Mirvac's Isle Waterfront project in Newstead, which is currently under construction, secured 21 sales in Q3 as it approaches sell out. The ASX-listed developer has sold over 110 apartments to date, at an average sale price of $1.261 million.

<img alt="Brisbane Q1" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fe488c7b-90e0-4a06-b2be-25eec93ab903" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-06-15%20at%208.36.04%20am.png?VersionId=sgv7Ic3oxTsVdoSlngtQb_znnMqwWMWz" />

Sekisui's giant West Village masterplan has performed consistently well ever since the national developer started the masterplan over seven years ago.

Their sixth and seventh tower in the masterplan, Uno and Duo, which make up the Allere Collection both saw continued sales through Q1 2023. Uno, which has 94 apartments, secured 19 sales in the first three months of the year, and it's neighbouring Uno tower had 16 sales.

Both buildings, designed by Rothelowman, are under construction and have just over 20 apartments left in each. Two-bedroom apartments are still available, priced from $860,000.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=207148]

One of the five-bedroom penthouses made headlines earlier this year when it sold for $7,016,000, a record for West End.

The Allere Collection will be the penultimate opportunity to buy into the thriving $1.1 billion community. Only one more tower will rise from the West End precinct, Callista on Park, which will comprise 74 three and four-bedroom apartments.

Since kicking off the development of West Village seven years ago, on the site of the landmark Peter's Ice Cream factory, the $1.2 billion village has&nbsp;won more than 50 awards, the most recent being the&nbsp;internationally renowned 2022 ULI APAC Award for Excellence.

Seldom does an opportunity come around to live in a penthouse designed by one of Australia's most renowned architecture firms.

Even rarer is it that you can design the floorplan yourself.

That's what Sekisui&nbsp;House&nbsp;Australia is offering atop the Uno building,&nbsp;one of the two vertical communities in The Allere Collection, part of their award-winning West End masterplan, West Village.

Rothelowman, in collaboration with Sekisui House Australia’s development team, have shared a sneak peek of just one of the custom floorplan layouts, which spreads across the whole of Uno's 19th level.&nbsp;

It spans a massive 650 sqm of internal floor space,&nbsp;as well&nbsp;as featuring seven balconies to take in the sweeping 360 degree views.&nbsp;

The floorplan incorporates four bedrooms, three in the guest wing and one master suite set privately on the other side of the apartment. The master will have its own sauna, spa, sitting room, and balcony. The bedrooms in the guest wing, each with their own ensuites and walk-in wardrobes, have a shared rumpus room. They sit the other side of a home gym and treatment room.

&nbsp;

The primary living space, which is separated from the kitchen and dining area with a&nbsp;central fireplace,&nbsp;is located on the south-east corner of the penthouse, so it takes in views of both Roma St Parklands and the Brisbane River, as well as the city skyline.

The kitchen, with two butler's pantries and full width island bench, has its own balcony. The largest balcony is off the living area, and that's equipped with a full outdoor barbecue and alfresco dining space.

Completing the penthouse, between the living area and the master suite, is a room pitched as a bar with a wine cellar, complete with, you guessed it, another balcony.

Through the foyer and past the private lift entry is a library space, and a home office.

The unique prospect Sekisui is offering is that any room can be anything.

Colette Chester, Chief Sales Officer for West Village, says the penthouse is a proposition rarely ever seen in the Brisbane apartment market.

“We’re in a very fortunate position to be able to offer purchasers the chance to redesign this penthouse level to suit their bespoke needs," Chester says.

"It’s very rare and exciting to be able to offer personal appointments with the architects to create the specific plan purchasers have always wanted, with customisable premium finishes.”

‘Should a buyer want to work with Rothelowman, they can make the most of the sweeping views across every part of the city, from the CBD skyline, the Brisbane River, to Roma St Parklands, and as far as Mt Cootha.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204872]

Topping the UNO tower is a luxury infinity pool (pictured main) with views similar to the penthouse. Residents will also have access to the swimming pool crowning DUO.

There's plenty of confidence in The Allere Collection, with construction powering ahead and over 75 per cent of residences now sold.

One of the five-bedroom penthouses made headlines earlier this year when it sold for $7,016,000, a record for West End.

Since kicking off the development of West Village seven years ago, on the site of the landmark Peter's Ice Cream factory, the $1.2 billion village has&nbsp;won more than 50 awards, the most recent being the&nbsp;internationally renowned 2022 ULI APAC Award for Excellence.

Last October, Sekisui House Australia submitted plans for the eighth and final residential offering in West Village.&nbsp;Dubbed Callista on Park, the residences will have just 74 apartments, with the majority being three and four-bedroom configurations, with a small handful of spectacular penthouses.

The national architecture firm Rothelowman, led locally by Duncan Betts, have put together a mock floorplan for the whole of level 19 in the tower

Sekisui to offer ultimate tailored, Rothelowman-designed penthouse in West Village

There's a certain magnetic vibrancy at Sekisui House Australia's multi award-winning West End community, West Village.

The $1.2 billion community, which is heading towards its final stages having kicked off way back in 2016, is well and truly thriving, with most of the retail precinct completed, packed full of specialty retailers, fresh food grocers, cafes, and restaurants.

Community events are taking place in the numerous communal spaces, everything from Creative Kids to Metro Arts performances. A day spa, Soak Bathhouse, opened on the site a few months ago, and Ippin Japanese, a fine dining restaurant, will open its doors in April.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204874]

A number of residents have already moved in to their apartments, which were built in the earlier stages of the redevelopment of the landmark Peter's Ice Cream Factory site.

Time is fast running out to secure an apartment in the sought-after precinct, with the penultimate residential phase, The Allere Collection, now 75 per cent sold.

Two towers, Uno and Duo, make up The Allere Collection. They both kicked off construction in November and are expected to be finished by late 2024.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204872]

One of the five-bedroom penthouses made headlines earlier this year when it sold for $7,016,000, a record for West End.

The penthouse, one of four&nbsp;planned for the Allere Collection, features a huge entertainer's kitchen with Carrara stone and a butler's pantry, kitted out with either premium Miele or V-Zug appliances. The penthouse neighbour is for sale for just under $7 million.

The configurations and design of The Allere Collection lends itself to the family buyer, either young growing families, or multi-generational families. Empty nesters and grandparents are also finding the residences cater for what they require, given the extensive family friendly precinct and amenity on their doorstep.

The three-bed flex residences, which have two full bedrooms and a multi-purpose room, have an internal living space of 100 sqm, is attracting both growing families and the downsizer, given the limited opportunity for new, three-bedroom residences in the area.

The three-bedroom apartments from $1.95 million

It's the same case for the limited selection of four-bedroom residences. According to property data firm CoreLogic, there's only a handful of four-bedroom apartments in the whole of South Brisbane.

To cater for the family buyer, The Allere Collection offers a vertical community lifestyle with shared access to two rooftop pools, exclusive to just the residents of Uno and Duo. The building is also pet friendly. The Paw Pavilion, an off-leash grassed area, crowns the Uno building. There's also a dog grooming room on the lower floor of Duo.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=207148]

There's only a few one and two-bedroom apartments left, after they were snapped up within weeks of launching.

The one-bedders, which span a generous 62 sqm of internal space and a further 12 sqm of balcony, start from $505,000*. The two-beds, with 85 sqm internal and 12 sqm external, start from $825,000*.&nbsp;Limited three bedroom residences with 135 sqm internal and 14sqm are available from $1,950,000*, and incredibly spacious 4 bedroom residences with 194 sqm internal and 28 sqm external are selling from $3,316,499*.

<img alt="" height="832" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-24_at_10.12.15_am.png" width="1129" />

&quot;We have a growing portfolio of premium residential estates in the North and South West and plans for new communities in various other metro and coastal Sydney locations,&rdquo; said Craig D&rsquo;Costa, Executive General Manager, Sekisui House Australia.

Sekisui House secure Norwest masterplan from Aqualand

The prominent international property developer,&nbsp;Sekisui House, is preparing to launch its next phase of its $1 billion masterplanned community, The Orchards, in Norwest in Sydney&#39;s north-west.

The next release will be Lumia Lux, the second phase of the third stage of apartments, Lumia, which was released to the market nearly 12 months ago.

Lumia Lux&nbsp;commands a prime position in the Norwest development, located along Strangers Creek reserve and surrounded by large trees, a linear park and waterways.

Designed by prominent architectural practice Turner, Lumia Lux&rsquo;s design responds to its surrounds and embraces&nbsp;a connection to the environment.

Embracing the natural setting, the pool and pavilion have been designed to embrace the organic forms found in nature.

An infinity water edge, floating lounges and green landscaped roof further heighten the connection to nature.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111509 project_image_fid=191136]

David Lee, Sales Manager, Developments and Communities &ndash; The Orchards at Sekisui House, says the conditions are ripe for a strong 2022 selling season, which is why&nbsp;Lumia Lux will launch next&nbsp;month. He notes that apartments have become a clear alternative for many home buyers with Sydney&#39;s median house values reaching record highs.

&quot;Strong rental demand for apartments is bringing property investors back into the market, first home buyers are seeking affordable property options and downsizers are selling their larger homes to release capital for lifestyle purposes,&quot; Lee says.

&ldquo;With over 330 apartments sold to date, The Orchards continues to attract a wide range of purchasers drawn to its luxurious lifestyle and first-class amenities.

&quot;Lumia Lux offers a broad range of apartment configurations aimed at enticing first home buyers, local downsizers and investors.

Set on a nature site with a creek and cycle/walkways, The Orchards will feature recreational amenities including a 1.4-hectare public park, playgrounds, break-out green spaces, outdoor lagoon pool, large indoor fitness centre and indoor heated swimming pool.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111509 project_image_fid=189525]

&nbsp;The masterplan, on 8.1 hectares, is spread across five stages. When completed the community will comprise 1300 apartments.

The Orchards is located approximately 31 kilometres north-west of Sydney&rsquo;s CBD and is nestled in Norwest. It is strategically positioned 800 metres from Norwest Metro Train Station and 600 metres from Norwest Marketown as well as Norwest Business Park - currently housing over 30,000 employees.

All apartments in both Imperial (Stage 1) and Aire (Stage 2) in The Orchards have been completely sold out. Lumia phase 1 has approximately 55 apartments left, with the majority being oversized two bed max apartments.
