<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.

A fitted space on Commercial Road in South Yarra is the latest be snapped up by a hospitality operator.
The hospitality operator is looking to take advantage of the increased demand for takeaway and delivery services.
Lewis Waddell of Fitzroys leased the 150 sqm property at 151 Commercial Road to a Mediterranean eatery at $55,000 per annum plus outgoings and GST, on a secure 4+4-year term.
Waddell said tenants are also taking a longer-term view beyond the current environment. The property’s proximity to the Prahran Market and the amenity and accessibility of the Chapel Street retail and lifestyle strip were an attraction. 
He said the possibility that people will be working from home more often in the future, and the surrounding established residential catchment would further add to the locations’ trading viability across all hours.
Waddell said fitted hospitality spaces are being snapped up by food and beverage operators adapting to changes in the hospitality sector.

Poolman House, located in South Yarra on the corner of Domain and Punt Roads, retains its name from its roaring 20s owners.

Perhaps it was the installation of its ballroom in 1928 by the Poolman family who entertained grandly that ensured their name lives on.

Maybe it was their charitable gifting of the house in 1951.

Ofcourse the nameplate on the front garden gate assists its recognition.

Ernest Poolman was a manufacturer, who paid 14,000 pounds for the home in 1921, with wife Jeannie, having previously lived elsewhere on Domain Road.

Her name lives on in the name of the Royal Children's Hospital of Melbourne's annual $5500 Jeannie H Poolman Scholarship, awarded for the purposes of travelling to enable further post-graduate paediatric education abroad.

The Poolmans had bought it from Norman and Mary Faukiner of the pastoralist family who then moved just along Domain Road.

The Falconer's had bought it for 16,200 pounds three years earlier from Collins Street surgeon Dr John Dunbar Hooper who took the house name, Bathwick to his next home in Albany Road Toorak. His father Sir William Roe Hooper had been the honorary surgeon King Edward.

Jeannie Poolman, who eventually downsized to the 1920s apartment complex, Amesbury House just a few doors away, donated the use of house to the Red Cross in 1941 during World War 11 and then in 1951 it was gifted to the Church of England became a nursing home for three decades. Her estate on her 1960 death was 464,000 pounds.

The church sold in 1987 for $875,000 to the international interior designer John Coote and his wife Andrea.

Their renovation saw it sold in August 1989 for $3.5 million to the car dealer Noel Gould and his wife, Marlene who in 1992 filed statements revealing total debts of $17 million when they proposed their affairs be dealt with under Part X of the Bankruptcy Act.

The Goulds, who were social page regulars with a passion for racehorses, disclosed assets made up of just $95 in a Westpac account and $35,000 in furniture at Poolman House.

The house sold after its unsuccessful 1992 auction for $1.675 million to Martyn Riley and wife, Mary.

It was last sold 20 years ago when the grand Victorian style home was secured for $2.7 million by the property tycoon, and former Richmond Football Club director, John Matthies.

The mansion with a large garden sits on 2750 sqm, the largest of holdings in the Domain precinct. There is a larger South Yarra holding in the Avoca House, Alexandra Avenue precinct which last sold in 1996 at $1.96 million. The property is owned by the Myer family.

The landmark Poolman House has had a rich history, its RT Edgar agent Antoinette Nido says.

"The late John Coote impeccably renovated the home’s classical features to align with modern-day living.

"The current owners of twenty years have updated and refurbished the mansion maintaining the John Coote classical style," she advised.

She suggests its imposing verandah was reminiscent of the Melbourne Club. The ballroom has stage and ceiling frescos painted by Nobby Seymour.

The six bedroom, five bathroom house with Paul Bangay gardens and tennis court comes with a $20 million to $22 million price guide.

"With its inspiring archive of grand events, flawless preservation and rare land holding, and location in the prized and tightly held Domain precinct in South Yarra, Poolman House is a once-in-a-lifetime property ready for a new era," Nido said. 

The first residence on the site was built in the early 1860s by woolworker Richard Goldsborough who didn't stay long before moving to Abbotsford where he warehouse business was located.

It was then occupied by John Buckley from the rural firm Dalgety &amp; Co. Then other families including the Brodribb, McKinley and Borron clans have occupied the home, along with George Grantham.

The home was known in colonial times as Glenronald. Sadly the online Victorian Heritage Council database is wanting, with no details at all.

Poolman House, South Yarra retains its name from its roaring 20s owners

Sherry and empanada bar operator, Double Tree International (Australia) Pty Ltd, has agreed terms on a new lease at South Yarra.
In a deal brokered by Teska Carson leasing agent, Reece Israel, the 47 sqm ground floor tenancy at <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/leased/property-ground-floor-16-toorak-road-south-yarra-vic-3141-503307798" target="_blank">16 Toorak Road</a>, was let at $30,000 per annum on a three year term with two further three year options.
Mr Israel said the property benefitted from its prominent Toorak Road frontage.
He said the fully functioning kitchen with a large pizza oven had been a key factor for Double Tree.
"This is a great location for a food and beverage retailer with its close proximity to various transport options and excellent street exposure, while the premises is well suited to the client’s operational requirements,’’ Mr Israel said.
The lessor is a Melbourne based private investor.

A South Yarra, Victoria sub penthouse mortgagee apartment has been listed for $2.3 million.
The brand new property is comprised of three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two underground parking spaces.

Taco Bell has now leased a 320 sqm retail space on Chapel Street following an online teaser.
Fitzroys agents James Lockwood and Lewis Waddell have leased the fully-fitted space at 352 Chapel Street, South Yarra to the US-based food giant, on behalf of a private investor.
Lockwood said Melburnians continue to embrace inner-city living and are increasingly looking to live, work and go out in and around the city, reflected in the development of the high-density Forest Hill precinct nearby and major projects in the pipeline for the area that include the $1.25 billion Jam Factory overhaul that are transforming Chapel Street.
“As well as the Jam Factory redevelopment and Forest Hill, projects including the the soon- to-be-completed Capitol Grand and W Hotel, and new office builds at 627 Chapel Street and Chapel Plaza at 402 Chapel Street will boost retail and hospitality trade across all hours,” Lockwood said.

Waddell said hospitality groups made strong enquiry throughout the campaign, with the property offering a full hospitality fit-out and kitchen infrastructure. 
The enquiry demonstrated a clear appetite from food and beverage traders to secure a site on Chapel Street and the surrounding areas and tap into the growing local population and be a part of its transformation.
“The double-fronted property offers fantastic exposure in an area with high foot traffic, and which will be invigorated by new developments in the area.”
The Taco Bell site is due to be open later this year.

The penthouse on the top level of Domain Park, designed by the celebrated architect Robin Boyd in the 1960s, has sold for $7.6 million, reflecting $46,000 per square metre.
The unrenovated 20th level apartment, which had a reserve of $5.1 million, sold at $44,000 per square metre as two bidders battled it out at its recent private auction.
Marshall White Stonnington agents Dean Gilbert and Mark Harris had a $4.55 million to $5,005,000 guide.
The Domain Park Flats was the first apartment building Boyd designed.
At the time it completed, it was the tallest residential building in Victoria.
The first residents of Domain Park Flats moved in in 1962.
The north-west facing apartment with views over the Botanic Gardens to Albert Park Lake features the original separate kitchen.
There are three bedrooms and just the one bathroom.
Buyers agent Mal James advised he "couldn’t see the freight at $5,000,000".
"$5,000,000 meant the asking price for the shell only was $30,300 per square metres for the 165 square metres," James advised.
"It’s not worth $30,300 per square metre when the best brand new apartments are trying it on at $25,000 per square metre."
