<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/collingwood-vic-3066">Collingwood</a>’s northern edge continues to sharpen its reputation as one of Melbourne’s most compelling cultural precincts, where established creative institutions, leading hospitality, and independent fashion converge within a tightly held inner-city neighbourhood.

Set within this evolving pocket, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/derby-street-by-milieu-collingwood-4-derby-street-collingwood-vic-3066">Derby Street by Milieu</a> draws on a location that balances proximity to some of the inner north’s most influential destinations with the quieter, tree-lined character that defines the streets edging East Melbourne. Positioned just moments from both Smith and Gertrude Streets, the address sits on the periphery of Collingwood’s cultural core, offering immediate access without the intensity of its busiest frontages.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145576 project_image_fid=355945]

Gertrude Street, in particular, anchors the area’s identity as a destination for Melbourne’s leading food, art and fashion. Within a short walk, venues such as Marion, Cutler &amp; Co, IDES and the Builders Arms Hotel define a tightly curated dining scene with enduring citywide appeal, complemented by a strong fashion and retail presence including Havn, Le Labo and a selection of independent boutiques.

Nearby, institutions such as the Australian Print Workshop and Collingwood Yards sustain a constant rhythm of exhibitions, performances and creative output, embedding art and culture into the everyday fabric of the neighbourhood.

Smith Street, running parallel, extends this offering with a broader mix of hospitality and nightlife, maintaining its status as one of Melbourne’s most active inner-urban strips.

Beyond these high-energy streets, the immediate surrounds shift in tone. Derby Street and its neighbouring blocks are defined by low-rise heritage terraces, mature trees and a settled residential character. Fitzroy Gardens and Carlton Gardens are both within walking distance, alongside the Royal Exhibition Building and Melbourne Museum, bringing together green space and cultural landmarks within minutes of home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145576 project_image_fid=355985]

Connectivity remains a key advantage. The CBD sits within easy reach, accessible by tram along Smith Street in around 20 minutes, while also remaining close enough to walk or cycle, supported by the inner north’s established bike network.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/milieu-property">Milieu</a>’s long-standing connection to Collingwood underpins the project’s approach. With a portfolio that includes multiple nearby developments across Bedford, Peel and Napier Streets, the developer brings a sustained understanding of the area’s character and evolution. Derby Street continues this trajectory as a collaboration with award-winning Melbourne-based <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/studio-bright">Studio Bright</a>, marking the practice’s first multi-residential project in the inner north and reflecting a shared focus on design integrity and contextual response.&nbsp;

Balancing connection to the neighbourhood with a sense of seclusion and refuge, Derby Street by Milieu embodies a level of care and craft typically reserved for single residential projects. Comprising 22 residences across six storeys, with two to four-bedroom configurations priced from $1.15 million, the project is currently under construction with completion expected in late 2027.&nbsp;

A rare new apartment development in the Blue Mountains is the latest in a string of State Significant Development Applications submitted through the New South Wales Government's Housing Delivery Authority.

A total of 270 apartments are being proposed for the 1.16-hectare site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/blue-mountains-alpine-retreat-142-150-narrow-neck-road-katoomba-nsw-2780">142–150 Narrow Neck Road in Katoomba</a>, a parcel of land adjoining the former Katoomba Golf Course. The site was acquired for $3.85 million in 2021 by private developer VDM Prime.

The apartments, comprising a mix of serviced apartments, affordable housing, and traditional build-to-sell product, will be spread across eight low-rise buildings, along with a separate building for a new restaurant, arranged around a green spine that leads to a central park.

<img alt="Katoomba" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ee9a2072-f465-44f1-9076-80c9c8ecca02" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-22%20at%209.20.21%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4bT0vQ7j_syl65wcrJmHGm3m5pTvwrY_" />

The Urban Design Report by Atlas Urban says the vision is to create a "contemporary mountain precinct that is responsive to its escarpment landscape, heritage character, and community context."

"The development responds to the current housing supply and affordability challenges identified under the NSW Housing Delivery Authority (HDA), providing a balanced mix of standard, affordable, and short-stay accommodation," the report noted.

"By introducing a variety of dwelling types and tenures, the proposal supports intergenerational living, local workforce retention, and greater housing choice within an area constrained by topography, heritage, and environmental protections."

Of the 270 units proposed, 52 will be serviced apartments. The remainder will comprise 54 studios, 121 one-bedroom units, 39 two-bedroom apartments, and four three- to four-bedroom residences.

<img alt="Katoomba" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f704508d-1bdf-4170-955d-0256652402a7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-22%20at%209.56.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=TzarHMO4gTOsblCqsbJQkvMqWj9nu2Au" />

The Design Report, by VDM Prime and appointed architect Antoniades Architects, noted that the design seeks to "provide a built form outcome that is highly considered, respectful and contextually fitting, whilst contributing positively to an evolving precinct."

"The site offers three frontages and the opportunity to provide a meaningful interface with the public domain environment. the design has a sympathetic response to streetscape and the green open space that surrounds the site."

The report states that the buildings are broken up to establish an appropriate bulk and scale, emphasised through height and setback strategies and defined through articulation that supports the transition of precinct granularity. It also notes that a central communal open space is established through the site to enhance the social dynamic and access to amenity, including natural ventilation and light to the apartments. The east and west frontages receive solar access during the morning and afternoon, whilst maximising views to the green open space.

The site adjoins the recently completed Yarrabee Katoomba development, comprising 24 duplexes that were completed last year and sold through McGrath Projects.

The relatively new Housing Delivery Authority pathway established by the NSW Government allows developers to submit State Significant Development Applications through a fast-tracked state process, effectively reducing reliance on local council approval pathways and aiming to accelerate housing delivery across New South Wales.

First look: Nearly 300 apartments pitched on former Katoomba golf course site

In Melbourne’s established inner east, the qualities that define a traditional house, width, height, and access to open ground, are increasingly difficult to replicate in new residential developments. Larger landholdings are scarce, and with them, the ability to create apartments that extend beyond compact, internalised layouts.&nbsp;

In <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/kew-vic-3101">Kew</a>, where the residential fabric is shaped by generous setbacks and mature tree canopies, that tension is especially visible.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/ricdanic-investments-pty-ltd">Ricdanic</a>&nbsp;is bringing forward a boutique collection of just 13 residences across two buildings at 9–11 Wimba Avenue, Kew. Comprising six homes at No.9 and seven at No.11, the project sits on a quiet, tree-lined street just off Cotham Road.&nbsp;

Each apartment has been planned with a level of independence more commonly associated with standalone dwellings, balancing privacy with the efficiencies of apartment living.

Architect Chris Idle, who has been practising for over two decades, says projects like this don’t come along often.

“There are very few opportunities to do these kinds of developments in leafy, established suburbs,” he explains. “To get this level of amenity, natural light, and architectural freedom in such a setting is extremely rare.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140755 project_image_fid=366267]

The internal planning begins with width. Living areas extend beyond five metres, allowing furniture, circulation, and glazing to sit comfortably within the same zone without compression. Ceiling heights shift from three metres through to five metres in select areas, changing the sense of scale as you move through the apartment. These proportions are paired with double-glazed windows and fully electric systems, balancing volume with performance, supported by a 7.2 NatHERS energy rating.&nbsp;

From the main living space, the apartments open directly outward. Large sliding doors connect to private gardens averaging 125 square metres, with some residences also incorporating balconies of around 60 square metres. Rather than acting as secondary outdoor zones, these areas sit flush with the internal floor level, extending the usable footprint of the home and allowing for multiple modes of use, whether for quiet daily routines or larger gatherings.&nbsp;

The landscape, led by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/john-patrick-landscape-architects">John Patrick</a>, reinforces this relationship. Across the site, 23 different plant species have been introduced, including a mix of native and established varieties, arranged to maintain privacy while preserving sightlines and light access. Gardens are not treated as decorative buffers but as functional extensions of the apartments, shaped to accommodate movement, seating, and informal use over time.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140755 project_image_fid=366265]

Architecturally, the project draws from Kew’s historic residential language. Handmade bricks by Krause define the exterior, grounding the buildings within the material palette of the suburb, while interior finishes, stone, timber flooring, and restrained detailing, continue this approach internally. Architect Chris Idle describes the intent as long-term rather than stylistic: “We wanted it to feel timeless.”&nbsp;

This emphasis on durability extends to how the buildings are accessed and secured. Entry is managed through keyless systems, with a double-gated basement incorporating number plate recognition for vehicle access. Each residence is paired with a private lock-up garage accommodating two to three cars, alongside storage, while all entry points are monitored continuously. These measures sit alongside EV readiness and fully electric infrastructure, aligning the project’s operational systems with its long-term design outlook.&nbsp;

The setting remains central to how the development is experienced. Located within walking distance of Kew Junction and close to established schools including Carey Grammar and Xavier College, the address benefits from existing infrastructure while maintaining a residential quietness that is increasingly difficult to find at this scale.&nbsp;

Construction is being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/sinjen">Sinjen</a>, with a 10-year structural guarantee, with completion targeted for mid-2027.

High-end Sydney developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a> has secured approval for one of its latest Mosman projects, one of the first developments approved by Mosman Council under the NSW Government’s Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy.

The approval represents an important step in delivering well-considered housing next to established village locations on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, in line with the intent of the Low and Mid-Rise zoning framework. 
&nbsp; 
There are currently 13 other sites lodged within Mosman Council under the policy, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/27-29-heydon-street-mosman-nsw-2088">Heydon Street</a> among the first to receive development consent. 
&nbsp; 
Abadeen Founder and Executive Chairman Justin Brown said the project reflects a considered and appropriate response to its planning context. 
&nbsp; 
“This approval demonstrates how carefully considered, design-led development can align with the objectives of the Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy," Brown said.

"The scheme has been designed to respond sensitively to its village setting, with a built form, scale and level of amenity appropriate to its local context. The determination reflects a balanced and considered planning outcome, with Council recognising the capacity for this site to accommodate additional housing within a well-located and established precinct.”

<img alt="Abadeen secures first approval under low and mid-rise housing policy for Heydon Street, Mosman" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="92811ce3-02e8-44fc-996e-c61ae039bd3e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Heydon%20Street%20Aerial.jpg?VersionId=ZHJVuWQT64QcdrFJx963pFWFzTX7lI2I" />

The Heydon Street approval followed extensive consultation with Mosman Council, with Abadeen working closely with Council throughout the assessment process.

The approved scheme comprises 27 residences, with only four per floor, creating a low-density living environment. The building will include four half-floor penthouses designed to capture views across Middle Harbour, Sydney Harbour and the surrounding district.&nbsp;

The project is expected to appeal to downsizers and owner-occupiers seeking house-like proportions, privacy and local convenience. There will be north-facing Middle Harbour views from the second level upward. It is also just a flat 100-metre walk to Bridgepoint Shopping Centre, which will appeal to owner-occupiers and in particular downsizers.

Two-bedroom residences are expected to be priced from $1.99 million when sales launch later this year. 
&nbsp; 
Joe Tack, CEO at Abadeen, said the outcome reflects both the quality of the site and the broader need for well-located housing. 
&nbsp; 
“This is a highly considered site within a highly established local setting, offering elevated views and strong connectivity. The project has been designed to respond to that context, delivering a scale and quality of housing aligned with both the planning framework and evolving market demand.” 
&nbsp; 
“This approval is particularly significant in the context of Mosman, where new housing supply has historically been limited. While it represents the first approval of this scale in Mosman to be achieved in over 50 years, it is importantly located within a well-established residential location, in close proximity to the established commercial amenity of Spit Road and Mosman Village. It reflects strong confidence in Abadeen’s approach to design, delivery and community integration, while contributing to the delivery of much-needed housing in a highly constrained market.”

Abadeen has an established track record across Sydney’s Lower North Shore, with recent completions including KOYO in Crows Nest and ENSO in Neutral Bay.

In Mosman, Abadeen recently completed The Hampden, with Mosman Residences on the corner of Spit Road and Clifford Street scheduled for completion later this year. Construction has also commenced at Burran Residences, comprising three full-floor ultra-premium homes positioned just 50 metres from Balmoral Beach, with residences expected to achieve prices in excess of $20 million. Two further projects are also progressing through planning within the local government area.

Apartment developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> is one of the latest entrants to the Gold Coast development market, with its debut project set to be one of the most boutique offerings on Chevron Island in recent years.

Martello has unveiled <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/aere-chevron-island-18-20-mawarra-street-chevron-island-qld-4217">Aere Chevron Island</a>, a collection of 33 large-scale two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments across an 18-storey building on Mawarra Street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367517]

The developer has placed a strong emphasis on wellness, briefing architecture firm Raunik Design to embed this philosophy into the project. It is a direction <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> plans to carry through its future developments along the coast.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a> has positioned Aere as a continuation of its human-centric development approach, with a focus extending beyond amenity to the fundamentals of layout, natural light, and spatial planning. Promax Construction has already been appointed to deliver the project, with construction expected to commence in the coming months as part of the group’s broader expansion into South East Queensland.

Rising above the low-rise fabric of Chevron Island, Aere’s design emphasises generous internal proportions and uninterrupted outlooks, with residences oriented to capture coastal, skyline, and waterway views. Interiors prioritise open-plan living, with large-format glazing and carefully considered transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367508]

The upper levels are dedicated to larger-format homes, including four-bedroom residences designed as half-floor offerings. These layouts prioritise separation between living and sleeping zones, along with increased privacy and storage, features more commonly associated with detached housing than traditional apartment product.

Aere’s private resident amenity spaces centre on wellness. A rooftop level will incorporate a heated swimming pool, sauna and spa, alongside a residents’ lounge, dining areas and barbecue spaces, while additional shared facilities throughout the building include a gym and yoga area.

The inclusion of both social and quieter retreat spaces reflects a broader shift in higher-end apartment design on the Gold Coast, where developers are increasingly responding to owner-occupier demand for buildings that support long-term living rather than short-stay use.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367814]

Aere is positioned within walking distance of Chevron Island’s village centre along Thomas Drive, as well as the HOTA cultural precinct via the Green Bridge, connecting residents to parklands, galleries, and event spaces.

For <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a>, Aere represents the first in a series of planned Gold Coast developments, with the group also exploring opportunities in other coastal precincts, including Kirra and Palm Beach.

The move north comes as sustained population growth and infrastructure investment continue to reshape South East Queensland, with developers increasingly targeting boutique, design-led projects in established lifestyle pockets. Aere’s relatively small scale and emphasis on spatial quality position it within this emerging segment of the market.

Mirvac has recently sold their one of a kind charity home, Transformation House, in the group's masterplanned community in Clyde North.&nbsp;

The eight-month project in Smiths Lane sold for $1,096,000, with $600,000 in profits going to the Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal, which could help provide 2,564 days of safe emergency accommodation for those in need.

The high-profile auction attracted six bidders, with Georgette and Gary Pircher and their family placing the winning bid for the home, and in turn playing an important role in helping to support those in need.

Mirvac Head of Residential, Stuart Penklis, said they were delighted with the Transformation House auction results, extending their congratulations to the lucky purchasers who will now join the Smiths Lane community.

“Proceeds from the auction will help the Salvation Army Australia to continue its important work, and contribute towards creating safer homes – and a better future – for thousands of Australians in need,” Penklis said.&nbsp;

“None of this would be possible without the generous support from our Mirvac partners who helped bring this special project to life, including Australbricks, Colorbond, Dowell, Hebel, Heidelberg Lintels, Unitex and Superior Heating and Cooling.”

Designed and delivered by Mirvac’s in-house award-winning architects and construction team, the two storey four-bedroom Transformation House is move-in ready, with GlobeWest furniture and other high quality furnishings selected and styled by Dani Wales from Healthy Homes Australia, Dan Reilly of The Block and their team at MannaMade.

Salvation Army Australia (Major) Corps Officer, Michael Wright, said the donation will play a significant role in helping the Salvation Army Australia provide housing, food, financial aid and other assistance to those who are homeless or living in poverty.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28168 project_image_fid=186038]

“We are blown away by the Transformation House auction results and Mirvac’s generous donation. The funds will play a hugely pivotal role in helping The Red Shield Appeal continue to provide crisis, transitional and long-term accommodation, refuges for women and their children, rooming houses, and community housing – things that we need now more than ever,” Wright said.&nbsp;

“We are incredibly grateful to Mirvac and their partners for their continued generosity and support.”

Residents in the Smiths Lane community in Melbourne’s Clyde North are at home with 60 hectares dedicated to green space, including sporting facilities, local parks, walking tracks, bike trails and more. Over 300 residents already live at Smiths Lane, and it will include over 3,000 homes once complete, along with a proposed future town centre with supermarkets, speciality stores, restaurants, government school, childcare and educational facilities.

 Mirvac’s Transformation House sells at auction, raising over half a million for the Salvation Army Australia

Mirvac has just wrapped up construction on its highly anticipated Transformation House charity home within their community, Smith Lane.&nbsp;

The Clyde North one-of-a-kind architecturally designed home is set to be auctioned off on Saturday November 12 in a bid to raise much-needed funds for The Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal.&nbsp;

The build of Transformation House took just eight months by Mirvac, with Head of Residential Stuart Penklis saying it wouldn’t have been without the help of their 25 generous and trusted suppliers who rallied together to donate and reduce material costs, products and trades.&nbsp;

“Mirvac has been reimagining urban life for 50 years and the future-ready Transformation House demonstrates our ongoing commitment to creating sustainable communities, from an environmental, economic and social perspective. It has been truly wonderful to see our community come together to help raise vital funds to ensure The Salvation Army can continue to create a better future for those impacted by homelessness,” Penklis said. &nbsp;

MIrvac are hoping to achieve a sale price of more than $1 million come auction day, with a $500,000 fundraising target for the Red Shield Appeal, which could support safe emergency accommodation for those in need for 2,564 days - transforming the lives of thousands of people across Australia.&nbsp;

“We’ve been really proud to be involved in the styling of this beautiful Mirvac-designed home. For us, it was all about creating a soft, calm palette, with furnishings that work harmoniously with the home’s existing fixtures and fittings,” said Wales.&nbsp;

“We wanted to provide a really good foundation for the lucky future homeowners, so that they can move in and put their own stamp and personality on the space. With heaps of space and natural light that make it perfect for entertaining friends, we’re excited to see as many people as possible on auction day to support The Salvation Army Australia,” she said.&nbsp;

Salvation Army Australia (Major) Corps Officer, Michael Wright said that the contribution will play a significant role in helping the Salvation Army Australia provide housing, food, financial aid and other assistance to those who are homeless or living in poverty.&nbsp;

“Now, more than ever, so many Australians are under housing stress and in need of our support. Homelessness is a crucial issue that impacted over 278,300 Australians in 2020-21* and the sale of the Transformation House will raise much-needed funds to help us continue to provide crisis, transitional and long-term accommodation, refuges for women and their children, rooming houses and community housing,” Wright said.&nbsp;

Mirvac wrap construction on Smiths Lane Transformation House

Mirvac has thrown its support behind The Salvation Army Australia&rsquo;s signature fundraising drive, The Red Shield Appeal, with the creation of Transformation House.

Located at Mirvac&rsquo;s Smiths Lane masterplanned community in Clyde North, the brand new&nbsp;home will be auctioned in November 2022, with a $500,000 fundraising target for the Red Shield Appeal.

Currently under construction, the design of the home was unveiled at the end of June, with The Salvation Army Australia&rsquo;s Michael Wright (Major) Corps Officer, explaining that funds raised from the sale of Transformation House will create an ongoing legacy, helping the charity reach countless individuals and transform lives for years to come.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28168 project_image_fid=186035]

&ldquo;Housing stress has been rapidly increasing across Australia. Right now, for every person you can see who is homeless there are 13 more that you can&rsquo;t see.&rdquo;

The funds raised through the sale of this house means that Mirvac, and the new homeowners, are playing a critical role in enabling The Salvation Army to address these issues by ensuring we continue to provide crisis, transitional and long-term accommodation, refuges for women and their children, rooming houses and community housing,&rdquo; he said. .

Mirvac&rsquo;s Head of Residential, Stuart Penklis, said that the Transformation House demonstrates Mirvac&rsquo;s commitment to reimagining urban life and building sustainable communities for the future.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28168 project_image_fid=186032]

&ldquo;From the way we design and manage our assets, to the communities we create and the homes and neighbourhoods in which our customers live, being environmentally and socially responsible is firmly embedded in our DNA.

Designed by the award-winning Mirvac Design team, currently under construction home has taken its design inspiration from the curves of the local Cardinia Creek.

The two-storey 320 sqm home will feature unique architecture, with flexible living spaces, along with innovative technology and a resort-style backyard, complete with a plunge pool.

With four-bedrooms and two-bathrooms, the home incorporates two living rooms, a butler&rsquo;s pantry and SMEG kitchen appliances, with the master bedroom featuring a luxurious walk in robe and ensuite.

An upstairs breakout area, mud room and study nook complete the family-style home, with the one-of-a-kind fully electric home also seeking to achieve a 7-Star NatHERS rating, incorporating &lsquo;future-ready&rsquo; sustainable design principles and leading technologies to minimise energy consumption and maximise liveability for its future residents.

Situated on a 392 square metre block in prime position within the Smiths Lane community, Transformation House is just a short walk from the newly opened Clyde Grammar and Banjo Park, Smith&rsquo;s Lane&rsquo;s first neighbourhood park.

Over 60 hectares of the Smiths Lane masterplan is dedicated to green space, including sporting facilities, local parks, walking tracks, bike trails and more.

With over 300 residents already living at Smiths Lane, it will include over 3,000 homes once complete, along with a proposed future town centre with supermarket, speciality stores, restaurants, government school, childcare and adult educational facilities.

Transformation House is expected to be complete and auctioned in Spring 2022, while a selection of three, four and five-bedroom home options can still be snapped up within the master planned community.
