Designed by global architecture practice <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>, long-term collaborators of the Coronation team, the project draws inspiration from the Sydney Blue Gum High Forest and the leafy character of the South Chatswood Heritage Conservation Area.

Aras Labutis, Head of Urban Transformation at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/coronation-property">Coronation Property</a>, said the project reflects a disciplined, collaborative approach to city shaping.&nbsp;

“Chatswood sits at an important junction between high-density commercial activity and established residential &nbsp;neighbourhoods," Labutis said.

"Our focus for Archer &amp; Albert was to manage that transition carefully, respecting what’s already there &nbsp;while contributing something new that feels deliberate and enduring."

Coronation receives green light for Archer & Albert apartments in Chatswood

Leading Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a>, in partnership with Metrics Credit Partners, has officially broken ground on its landmark $1.8 billion Kings Bay Village project in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/five-dock-nsw-2046">Five Dock</a>, marking the beginning of construction on one of the most significant urban renewal precincts within the Parramatta Road Corridor.

A sod-turning ceremony was held at the project site on Parramatta Road, with NSW Premier Chris Minns and NSW Planning Minister Paul Scully joining Deicorp Chairman Fouad Deiri OAM and Metrics CEO and Managing Partner Andrew Lockhart, to mark the significant milestone.

Located at 129-154 Parramatta Road, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-five-dock-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> will transform more than three hectares of underutilised land into a highly connected new neighbourhood comprising 1,185 homes, including 218 affordable dwellings for essential workers, alongside new retail, commercial, and community spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146120 project_image_fid=356895]

Designed by award-winning architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/turner-studio">TURNER</a>, the precinct blends crafted brick architecture with a pedestrian-focused urban layout across six buildings of varying scale. The project will deliver 14,700sqm of retail and commercial space, 6,500sqm of public open space, and a new 2,290sqm landscaped park and civic plaza that will form the social heart of the community.

Kings Bay Village is positioned minutes from the future Five Dock Metro Station, supporting the NSW Government and City of Canada Bay Council’s shared ambition for a more connected, liveable and revitalised Parramatta Road Corridor. Deicorp will also contribute more than $80 million towards new and upgraded local infrastructure, including pedestrian laneways, an activated streetscape and significant public domain works.

Fouad Deiri OAM, Chairman of Deicorp, said Kings Bay Village represents a defining opportunity for Sydney’s Inner West.

&nbsp;“Today marks the beginning of a precinct that will deliver lasting benefits for the Five Dock community - new homes, new open spaces, and a vibrant mixed-use environment that brings people closer to transport, services and amenities,"&nbsp;Deiri says.

“We are proud to be delivering much-needed housing, including affordable homes for essential workers, in partnership with the NSW Government and the City of Canada Bay. Kings Bay Village is urban renewal at its best - thoughtful, connected and community-focused.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146120 project_image_fid=356894]

Metrics CEO and Managing Partner Andrew Lockhart said the company is proud to support more housing and infrastructure in a key Sydney corridor. 
&nbsp; 
“Metrics and Deicorp share a proven track record of delivering high-impact projects that align closely with the NSW Government’s housing and infrastructure priorities. Kings Bay Village marks our most significant Sydney development to date, offering quality homes, essential infrastructure, and dynamic public spaces.” 
&nbsp; 
“This project reflects our ongoing commitment to creating value by supporting economic growth, job creation, and delivering excellent outcomes for our investors,” he said.

With Kings Bay Village now underway, Deicorp’s pipeline of apartments under construction across Sydney has increased to 5,102. Kings Bay Village is scheduled for completion in Q2 of 2029.

When Antoinette Chan and her architect husband, Peter began casually searching for an investment property, they weren’t expecting it to evolve into a life-changing family decision.

But one visit to the display suite of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a>’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/koyo-crows-nest-1-11-rodborough-avenue-crows-nest-nsw-2065">KOYO</a> development in Crows Nest changed everything, and sparked a remarkable story of three generations choosing to live side by side in one of the suburb's most architecturally-striking new developments.

Antoinette, her mother Janet Khoo, and her sister, who is currently living in Singapore, each purchased an apartment in the same building, creating a rare and meaningful multi-generational living arrangement underpinned by modern design, community values, and premium convenience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356083]

“It wasn’t planned,” says Antoinette, who purchased a three-bedroom garden apartment with her husband and teenage daughter. “Peter came across KOYO and encouraged me to visit because he had a lot of respect for Abadeen’s previous work. As soon as we saw it, we knew it wasn’t just an investment, this was a home.”

Shortly after, Antoinette suggested her mother, Janet Khoo, take a look at the same development. A long-time inner-city resident who had recently sold her property in The Rocks, Janet had experienced some health setbacks and was contemplating a move closer to her daughter.

“I walked into the display apartment, and it just felt right,” says Janet. “I didn’t look anywhere else. The space, the simplicity of the design, the light, everything gave me a sense of peace. It’s a new beginning, but it also feels like home.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356093]

In a stroke of serendipity, Janet selected the two-bedroom apartment next door to her daughter, completely unaware of Antoinette’s purchase. Around the same time, Antoinette’s sister, who resides in Singapore, viewed the property via a virtual tour and chose to buy the apartment directly above Janet’s.

“We were all drawn to KOYO individually, and it just happened that our homes ended up vertically stacked, ground, first, and second floor,” Antoinette laughs. “It was a coincidence, but also a sign. This is where we’re meant to be.”

Designed by celebrated architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/koichi-takada-architects">Koichi Takada</a>, KOYO delivered on all fronts for the Chan-Khoo family.

“Our garden apartment gives us the feel of a standalone home but with none of the maintenance,” says Antoinette. “All three bedrooms open onto a generous private garden, which is perfect for our dog Archie, and for entertaining. The open-plan layout and high ceilings make it feel airy, calm and luxurious.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356092]

For Janet, security and accessibility were top priorities, and KOYO offered the ideal balance.

“At my age, I didn’t want to be climbing stairs,” she explains. “The first-floor apartment opens directly to the garden, and the building is small, which gives it a more personal, village-like feel. Yet I’m just steps away from my daughter and granddaughter. That gives me so much peace of mind.”

The family also appreciated the thoughtful amenities that avoided the excesses of some larger developments.

“We didn’t want a complex with too many facilities we wouldn’t use,” explains Antoinette. “KOYO has everything we need, generous storage, secure parking, beautifully landscaped walkways, and a stunning rooftop terrace with BBQ facilities that feels serene rather than busy.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=355428]

The location was another critical factor in the family’s decision. Though they had always lived closer to Sydney’s eastern suburbs, Antoinette says the transformation of Crows Nest was a revelation.

“When we returned from living overseas, we discovered Crows Nest had become this vibrant, walkable hub,” she says. “We love being able to stroll to cafés, restaurants, and shops on Willoughby Road. The new Metro makes the commute into the CBD effortless, and our daughter can walk to her school, it’s just next door."

Janet agree. “I was worried about giving up my inner-city lifestyle, but I’ve fallen in love with this area. It has everything I need, supermarkets, quiet streets, friendly faces, and it’s all a short walk away. I feel safe, independent, and connected.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356085]

While design and location were important, the family also credits their decision to Abadeen’s reputation and responsiveness. With decades of experience delivering high-quality residential projects, Abadeen’s track record helped build trust during a volatile market period.

“The waiting game was tough, especially after selling my old apartment,” says Janet. “But the Abadeen team kept me updated every step of the way. They were professional, courteous, and transparent.”

Antoinette said Peter works in property and had already heard of Abadeen. "The quality of their work really impressed us, and as the project neared completion, they went above and beyond to keep us informed and supported. That level of communication is rare.”

Only a handful of three-bedroom residences remain for sale, priced from $3.5 million.

Sydney-based developer Gold Partners Australia is making its move on the Gold Coast, launching what is one of the most affordable towers to the booming Broadbeach market.

Its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/harmony-on-broadbeach-2797-gold-coast-highway-broadbeach-qld-4218">Harmony on Broadbeach</a> project, just 400m from the beach, has prices starting from $975,000 for its two-bedroom apartments that measure nearly 90 sqm internally.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113098 project_image_fid=355607]

There will be 113 two- and three-bedroom apartments spread out across the 33-storey tower on the 1,201 sqm site that will front First Avenue. Gold Partners Australia, which has delivered several major projects in Sydney's Norwest and has an active pipeline with projects in Hornsby and Carlingford, secured the block vacant, and want to start preliminary site works early next year through their in-house construction capability.

DBI Architects designed the tower with a four-level podium which will have an open-air swimming pool, sun deck, outdoor lounges, alfresco dining spaces, and a gym with adjoining yoga lawn. A hospitality venue will anchor the building at street level.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113098 project_image_fid=355611]

Olympus Property Group is selling Harmony on Broadbeach on behalf of Gold Partners Australia. Olympus Director Deanna Lockett says the project is resonating with everyone from locals, investors, those moving from interstate, and second home buyers from Brisbane.

"There's been nothing new come to the market in Broadbeach at this price point for nearly a year," Lockett recalls. "It hits the sweet spot of affordability, good sized apartments, in a great location."

Construction will commence in Q2 2026, and wrap up, all going well, by the end of 2028.

Display apartments play a crucial role in helping buyers imagine how a space will look and feel once complete.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-albertine-by-mirvac-melbourne-31-queens-lane-melbourne-vic-3004">The Albertine</a> in Melbourne, development giant Mirvac has partnered with furniture maker and retailer MCM House to create a fully furnished, full-scale prototype that showcases the proportions, finishes, and design intent of the project’s three-bedroom residences.

As an added incentive, purchasers of any two- or three-bedroom apartment can receive up to $50,000 worth of MCM House furniture, allowing them to curate their new home with the same craftsmanship, contemporary design, and aesthetic showcased in the display apartment.

Oversized sofas, solid timber dining tables, and relaxed, low-profile seating demonstrate how the space accommodates real furniture, helping buyers clearly visualise how their new apartment could look, complete with pieces that genuinely suit the scale and design of the home.

The styling is simple but deliberate, with materials that pick up on the apartment’s natural light and neutral tones, creating cohesion without crowding the space.

Mirvac is now welcoming buyers through the display at The Albertine. Quietly yet conveniently positioned just off St Kilda Road on Queens Road, the development has attracted strong interest from inner-Melbourne and Bayside downsizers, professional couples seeking luxurious low-maintenance living, and design-focused buyers who want proximity to the CBD.

Apartments have been designed by Mirvac's inhouse design team with owner-occupiers at the forefront.&nbsp;The living and dining areas open directly onto a balcony, reinforcing the project’s emphasis on indoor-outdoor flow, while kitchens feature integrated appliances and soft-curve cabinetry which mirror the larger architectural themes at play throughout the building.

Southbank by Beulah

One of Australia’s most anticipated projects, STH BNK By Beulah, has again broken the record for Melbourne’s most expensive apartment ever sold.

The $38 million sale, a sub-penthouse located above level 75, topped the $35 million record set last year.

The full floor residence offers a customisable floor plan so the buyer, a transcontinental business owner, has the ability to individualise the design of the property to better suit their lifestyle.

The record breaking apartment is one of the highest in Melbourne and features a 360 degree view of the city, resort style concierge services and world class amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=200215]

The project has been one of Australia’s fastest selling projects to date, with over $600m in sales achieved in as little as four months.

Other notable sales include two apartments worth in excess of $30 million, a sub-penthouse fetching $15 million, and a slew of apartments worth more than $10 million - all sold off the plan.

Beulah Managing Executive Director Adelene Teh said the latest sale is reflective of the growing demand for luxury apartments that offer the convenience of immediate proximity to Melbourne’s world class gardens and cultural landmarks, while simultaneously offering the luxury of hotel living within their home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=193965]

“Purchasers have come from all walks of life, some are local families who want to create a truly special family home in a landmark project; one that is a city within a city and has everything you could need at your fingertips," Teh says.

"There are also local business owners and frequent travelers who live in different cities during different parts of the year while others are suburban/regional dwellers who are looking for a city location. Each of these full floor residences are customisable and that has been highly attractive to purchases.

“Despite a challenging market due to rising interest rates, the prestige market remains active - as we’ve seen with a number of record breaking sales recently - as these buyers often aren’t reliant on funding from the banks,” Teh added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=194913]

Many purchasers continue to take advantage of the customisable ‘Tailored Living’ services by merging together multiple apartments into super-sized residences; the total number of apartments in STH BNK By Beulah will continue to decrease as a result of more tailored configurations.

In June it was announced STH BNK By Beulah will be home to the most comprehensive collection of amenities in any Australian skyscraper.

Residents will have access to STH BNK Concierge Services including housekeeping, shopping, childminding, and pet services, plus an on-call doctor, beauty and massages treatments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=200217]

The FreshAir™ system developed together with world-leading engineers ARUP, will also protect against noxious fumes, bushfire smoke, disease transmission and moisture issues by removing contaminants from the outside air.

STH BNK will also offer resident access to the vibrant and comprehensive lifestyle podium; a wellness and culture precinct comprising premium retail, inspiring cultural events and engaging entertainment, community activities, childcare centre, outdoor gardens and rooftop spaces and a first-of-its-kind fleet of luxury vehicles including BMWs, Teslas, Porches and Range Rovers for residents to use at their convenience.

STH BNK By Beulah will also be home to Four Seasons Melbourne, as well as the country’s first innovative cultural centre for young people, overseen by the globally-revered Centre Pompidou.

STH BNK by Beulah breaks Melbourne apartment record, again

STH BNK By Beulah, one of the most anticipated development project in Melbourne for a number of years, has secured a record-breaking launch day, netting over $400m&nbsp;in sales, including Melbourne&rsquo;s most expensive apartment ever at $35 million.

Buyers flocked to the official launch on April 2,&nbsp;after Beulah received over 700 registrations throughout its expression of interest campaign, with buyers required to put down a $5,000 deposit to reserve their spot.

The $35 million sub-penthouse is now Melbourne&rsquo;s most expensive apartment to date, spanning 1,000 sqm across an entire floor and featuring double-height ceilings.

The buyer, whose identity remains confidential, is choosing to customise the apartment as part of STH BNK&rsquo;s Tailored Living offering with the number of bedrooms and baths yet to be confirmed.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=193965]

Beulah Managing Director Jiaheng Chan said the demand experienced on the first day of launch far exceeded any expectations, with buyers eager to own a slice of Australia&rsquo;s most talked-about project in Southbank.

&ldquo;We are overwhelmed by the support shown by the public who understand our vision for STH BNK By Beulah. We had all types of buyer demographics come through the sales suite on the weekend, from first home buyers through to families,&quot;&nbsp;Chan said.

&ldquo;The launch day was absolutely buzzing, we had buyers lining up, eager to be the first to choose their preferred apartment with many saying the opportunity to have the world at their feet was too good to pass up. We successfully sold out Stage 1 and had to bring forward Stage 2 to cater to buyer demand. They will have access to world-class amenities and offerings not yet explored in Australia, a mini-metropolis that truly is the next evolution of living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=194915]

&ldquo;In addition, the quality and design are second to none, we have the best minds in architecture, biophilic design, wellness, retail, art and culture involved in this project; buyers were eager to capitalise on this never-to-be-repeated project.

&ldquo;To achieve a result like this off the back of the pandemic is unprecedented and is a huge vote of confidence in not only the project, but the Melbourne CBD.&rdquo;

The highest sales were the&nbsp;three-bedroom apartments, with prices starting from $1.56 million, followed by two-bedroom and one-bedroom, starting from $719,000 and $532,000. A number of purchasers bought multiple apartments within the Sky Rise collection with plans to amalgamate them to create sprawling apartments in the sky.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=193964]

A sculptural form composed of two twisting towers, STH BNK By Beulah comprises four distinct collections offering one-bedroom apartments through to five-bedroom sky homes.

The first collection, Garden Rise Residences, is set above the energy of the podium and provides the closest connection to the pulse of Southbank. With a particular focus on embracing earth and nature, residences within this collection feature timber joinery, natural textures and calm movement throughout.

Above this collection sits the High Rise Residences, a collection that celebrates all there is to love about Melbourne; grander city vistas, spacious floorplans and timber joinery complemented by mirrored range hoods to reflect the glittering city lights.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=193967]

The Sky Rise Collection crowns the Garden and High Rise Collections and celebrates living amongst the clouds, offering&nbsp;views of the city, the bay and the gardens.

Extra-large in size, the apartments feature walk-in wardrobes, a butlers pantry, and a&nbsp;sculptural kitchen island design inspired by the &lsquo;stacking&rsquo; terraces along the towers&rsquo; spine, the Sky Rise Residences are the most prized homes and provide exclusive access to the Sky Rise Residents&rsquo; Club.

STH BNK By Beulah will also feature a series of Hotel Private Residences, combining exceptional interior design with the highest level of residential services.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=193963]

The vertical garden that envelopes both towers acts as a natural control of daylight, shielding the apartments from direct sun during summer while maximising the natural light in winter, while residents will benefit from Beulah FreshAirTM - a bespoke centralised ventilation system that provides the freshest and cleanest air in any Australian residential skyscraper.

Residents will also benefit from a suite of resident-only amenities and offerings, including the recently announced STH BNK Auto Club, a first-of-its-kind fleet of luxury vehicles including BMWs, Teslas, Porches and Range Rovers for residents to use via a car-sharing model; a private Residents&rsquo; Club that offers resort-like amenities and services; neighbourhood &lsquo;pocket&rsquo; parks dotted throughout the towers to provide a place for residents to connect and unwind in nature, as well as STH BNK Concierge, where luxuries like housekeeping, shopping, childminding and beauty treatments are all taken care of.

STH BNK By Beulah will also be home to Four Seasons Hotel Melbourne, as well as the country&rsquo;s first innovative cultural centre for young people, overseen by the globally-revered Centre Pompidou.

STH BNK By Beulah will also feature a series of Hotel Private Residences, combining exceptional interior design with the highest level of residential services.

Philip Rowe, Director of Cox Architecture, said the firm brought a philosophy of healthy living and connections to nature to the design of all STH BNK By Beulah residences.

&ldquo;Our vision for STH BNK is for a collection of residences that provide a home of unparalleled luxury; a curated environment that is immersed in greenery and enveloped by views. A place with a strong connection to this unique place in Melbourne,&rdquo; he said.

Colour schemes and materials throughout are both timeless and highly versatile, reflecting the greenery of the gardens outside the windows while allowing purchasers to interchange between schemes to create a beautiful combination that is uniquely theirs.

The iconic vertical garden that envelopes both towers acts as a natural control of daylight, shielding the apartments from direct sun during summer while maximising the natural light in winter, while residents will benefit from Beulah FreshAirTM - a bespoke centralised ventilation system that provides the freshest and cleanest air in any Australian residential skyscraper.

STH BNK By Beulah will also seek to achieve high sustainability benchmarks, including but not limited to the elimination of fossil fuel for a carbon-neutral future, and sourcing local materials to reduce waste and minimise the project&rsquo;s carbon footprint.

Beulah Executive Director Adelene Teh said the possibilities for homes within STH BNK By Beulah are endless, with buyers permitted to customise residences to create lavish homes within the sky.

&ldquo;A selection of our Sky Rise residences will be eligible for Tailored Living, where the possibilities of a custom-designed home truly are endless; think double height to triple height ceilings, five-bedrooms or more, infinity pools... anything is possible.

&ldquo;Across our four distinct collections, we have created a range of residences to suit all buyer demographics; there is truly something for everyone.&rdquo;

Residents will also benefit from a suite of resident-only amenities and offerings, including the recently announced STH BNK Auto Club, a first-of-its-kind fleet of luxury vehicles including BMWs, Teslas, Porches and Range Rovers for residents to use via a car-sharing model; a private Residents&rsquo; Club that offers resort-like amenities and services; neighbourhood &lsquo;pocket&rsquo; parks dotted throughout the towers to provide a place for residents to connect and unwind in nature, as well as STH BNK Concierge, where luxuries like housekeeping, shopping, childminding and beauty treatments are all taken care of.

STH BNK By Beulah will also be home to Four Seasons Melbourne, as well as the country&rsquo;s first innovative cultural centre for young people, overseen by the globally-revered Centre Pompidou.

In 2021, Beulah acquired the neighbouring site, home to Hanover House. The strategic corner location at 158 City Road has allowed Beulah to increase the footprint of STH BNK By Beulah to a total of 7,706sqm, ultimately creating a rare island site with four street frontages.

In addition, the extra site means more space between the two towers - over 45-metres - as well as an increased commercial offering of 50,000sqm, a 2,000sqm public park on Level 7 and increasing the Community Auditorium to 3,000 seats.

STH BNK By Beulah is currently accepting registrations of interest with the official project launch scheduled for Saturday, April 2.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=8804]

There will be four distinct collections in the two twisting towers, from one-bedroom apartments to the five-bedroom sky homes.

Residents within what will be Australia&rsquo;s tallest skyscraper, STH BNK By Beulah, will breathe in some of the freshest, healthiest and cleanest air in any Australian residential skyscraper, thanks to a bespoke centralised ventilation system that places an emphasis on health and wellbeing.

Designed primarily to optimise sleep quality and productivity, the system developed together with world-leading engineers ARUP, will also protect against noxious fumes, bushfire smoke, disease transmission and moisture issues by removing contaminants from the outside air.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=27929]

Fresh air is directly ducted to every STH BNK By Beulah apartment, while a full heat exchanger system recovers energy from the exhaust air stream to minimise energy consumption.

By constantly supplying fresh air and exhausting stale air, the oxygen content in each apartment is increased, resulting in up to 10 times less CO2 compared to apartments and houses where stale air is recirculated.

Beulah Managing Director Jiaheng Chen said with Beulah FreshAir&trade;, residents will feel like they&rsquo;re in the world&rsquo;s cleanest destination, constantly breathing the freshest unpolluted air at the most comfortable temperature &mdash; regardless of the conditions outside.

&ldquo;There&rsquo;s been a massive shift towards improving the ventilation and quality of air in buildings, mostly off the back of air-borne diseases, but Australians have also had to deal with unsafe air quality during our recent bushfire seasons,&quot; Chen said.

<a href="/new-apartments/sth-bnk-by-beulah-southbank-60-southbank-boulevard-southbank"><img alt="" height="1697" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/sth_bnk_by_beulah_2.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

&ldquo;Although Australia ranks incredibly well on a global scale in terms of air pollution, the Beulah FreshAir&trade; ventilation system will play a pivotal role in improving the health of residents in terms of sleep, productivity and overall well-being. If the past two years have taught us anything, it&rsquo;s that we are spending more time at home than ever before.&rdquo;

One of the towers in STH BNK By Beulah will become Australia&rsquo;s tallest building.&nbsp;There will be two towers at the&nbsp;City Road&nbsp;address, one rising 102 storeys, some&nbsp;366 metres in to the sky. There will be around 449 apartments across the two towers, as well as a hotel, commercial, and retail space.

The $2.7 billion mixed-use development, will also have its own Private Auto Club,&nbsp;Australia&rsquo;s first-of-its-kind Private Auto Club.

The STH BNK Auto Club will give residents the opportunity to use the fleet of luxury vehicles,&nbsp;from&nbsp;BMWs and Teslas to Porches and Range Rovers.

STH BNK by Beulah to provide the cleanest air in any Australian residential skyscraper

The $2.7 billion mixed-use development, STH BNK By Beulah in Melbourne&#39;s Southbank, is continuing to break ground as one of the mostly luxury offerings the city will have seen for a number of years.

STH BNK By Beulah is set to offer Australia&rsquo;s first-of-its-kind Private Auto Club for residents as car ownership declines.

The STH BNK Auto Club will see residents have the opportunity to use the fleet of luxury vehicles,&nbsp;from&nbsp;BMWs and Teslas to Porches and Range Rovers.

There will be 50 cars available to book, similar to a traditional&nbsp;car sharing model, with the added perks of an on-site team to clean, maintain and valet park cars, with chauffeur drivers available on request. Residents will be able to book a car via a mobile phone app or concierge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=27929]&nbsp;

It&#39;s a response by Beulah to data from the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries which showed new car sales in Australia have been declining since 2017.

In April 2021, new car sales had plummeted 48.5 per cent year-on-year, the biggest decline in 30 years and the 25th consecutive month of plunging new car sales.

According to a 2019 RACV Survey, the cost of car ownership is 66 per cent more expensive than drivers realise, with the largest cost being the depreciation of the car, followed by loan repayments.

It is said that cars are motionless around 95 per cent of the time and in cities, this climbs to an average of 97 per cent.

<a href="/new-apartments/sth-bnk-by-beulah-southbank-60-southbank-boulevard-southbank">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

Beulah Managing Director Jiaheng Chan said the STH BNK Auto Club will assist residents in saving money, while also providing them with the luxury and accessibility a car affords.

&ldquo;STH BNK is centrally located and boasts a walk score of 98, meaning a car is not a necessity. By providing residents with access to the STH BNK Auto Club, they can still enjoy the luxuries and freedom a car offers without the associated costs of car ownership, and in the process, can experience a range of different cars - depending on their mood or needs.

&ldquo;This is just one of the many services residents will have access to at STH BNK as we look to cater to ever-evolving lifestyle choices, one that puts sustainability and technology front of mind,&rdquo; he said.

STH BNK Auto Club will offer three tiers of membership levels including Silver, Gold and Diamond, with each member of the program able to select a tier based on their needs and wants; silver being the most cost effective, while Diamond provides access to luxury cars and EVs. EVs will be progressively added to the fleet, with Beulah committed to a full EV fleet by 2030.

<a href="/new-apartments/sth-bnk-by-beulah-southbank-60-southbank-boulevard-southbank">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

There will be two towers at the City Road address, one rising 102 storeys to be Australia&#39;s tallest tower at 366 metres. There will be around 449 apartments across the two towers, as well as a hotel, commercial, and retail space.

Construction is set to get underway in mid-2022, with a 2027 completion date forecast.

The multi-award-winning Melbourne property developer Beulah has secured its next mixed-use development site.

The developer, headed by managing director Jiaheng Chan, has secured a corner site in Prahran, paying $11.4 million for the 1,132 sqm site at&nbsp;&nbsp;182-194 Commercial Road, opposite the well known Prahran Market.

They have plans to activate the community through a sustainable mixed-use development.

The site, on the corner of Izett Street, comprises six adjoining addresses near the recently completed $60 million Prahran Square project.

On the block is a multi-tenanted 1,087 sqm building with potential for future retail activation.

<a href="/news/vic/check-out-beulahs-best-melbourne-residential-projects">Read more:&nbsp;Check out Beulah&#39;s best Melbourne residential projects</a>

Jiaheng Chan said the team is excited to be able to contribute to the urban streetscape of Prahran as it continues to gentrify and evolve over time.

&ldquo;Prahran is currently going through an exciting evolution that is seeing a new generation of businesses set up shop, from forward-thinking restaurants and lifestyle-focused hotel chains,&quot; Chan said.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re looking forward to offering a product that will add immense value to this inner-city pocket and will complement the renowned Prahran Market via retail, dining and public amenity, coupled with a residential offering not yet explored in this area.

&ldquo;This site will complement our growing boutique portfolio, which sits alongside the other growing arm of our business and that is large-scale, urban renewal precincts, such as that in Southbank.&rdquo;

Beulah are developing STH Bnk by Beulah, a mixed-use development on the current BMW showroom site on Southbank&#39;s&nbsp;City Road. It will comprise nearly 500 apartments and around 390 hotel rooms, as well as retail and office space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=27929]

Beulah also recently announced the imminent release of its newest and most innovative residential project, The Wilds. The development features a collection of 15 carbon-neutral homes designed by leading design firm, Edition Office.

&ldquo;The global changes experienced in 2020 saw consumers prioritising health, wellbeing and sustainability, which closely informed our approach to The Wilds.

&quot;Similarly, we intend to draw on this research and approach in creating a thoughtful, sustainable and wellness-inspired design for Prahran,&rdquo; Chan said.

They have plans to activate the community through a sustainable mixed-use development.



Beulah secure Prahran site for mixed-use development

Beulah has appointed the world renowned urban design practice Grant Associates and the international design practice ASPECT Studios to create the landscaping on their landmark Southbank development, STH BNK by Beulah. 
 
The development will be the first in Melbourne for the UK-based Grant Associates, who are most recognised for designing&nbsp;Singapore&#39;s well known Gardens by the Bay. They also handled the public area in the development of Barangaroo South in Sydney.

They&#39;ll&nbsp;be working with the Melbourne-based ASPECT Studios, who were the landscape architects for&nbsp;Prahran Square in Melbourne and Darling Square in Sydney.

The duo will join&nbsp;UNStudio, Cox Architecture and global design and engineer firm&nbsp;Arup, along with &lsquo;living infrastructure&rsquo; specialists Junglefy, in&nbsp;bringing to life the green spaces proposed in the winning concept from the 2018 Southbank by Beulah architecture competition.

&nbsp;The landscape design will be centred on the planted vertical facades and outdoor spaces that will create the world&rsquo;s tallest vertical garden, stretching from the street level to the top of both towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=27929]

Upon completion there will be&nbsp;the Future Sky Garden, an expansive conservatory space at the top of the tallest tower. Extended planted terraces will characterise the facing facades of the two towers as they twist towards each other.

The&nbsp;mixed-use development on the current BMW showroom site on Southbank&#39;s&nbsp;City Road will comprise nearly 500 apartments and around 390 hotel rooms, as well as retail and office space.

On Grant Associates&rsquo; appointment, Beulah Executive Director Adelene Teh said the practice&rsquo;s reputation, globally, is second to none.

&ldquo;Making considerations for the team on this project is a monumental task as this will be a world-class precinct for the city,&quot; Teh said.

&quot;Grant Associates were selected, not only because they are leaders in sustainable urban landscapes, but because they truly understood our vision of connecting people through nature. Through dynamic biophilic design, our vision is to redefine notions of retail co-creation, cultural possibilities, workplace innovation, the learning economy, sustainable living and urban belonging.&rdquo;

Teh said the Beulah team is also thrilled to have ASPECT Studios join the team, bringing their local and global experience, as well as their extensive knowledge of landscape architecture, urban design, and urban strategy.

&ldquo;It is about creating a sense of place and a signature location for Melbourne and Australia, which connects people and nature, as well as promoting a healthy city community and we know the ASPECT Studios team can help us achieve this.

Grant Associates Director Keith French said the practice believe in combining the latest design technology and thinking about nature, an opportunity which Southbank by Beulah represents.

&ldquo;Southbank by Beulah is a pioneering project and delivering such a complex piece of integrated greening and place making in Melbourne is only possible through a collaborative approach and the collective efforts of many disciplines and specialists. We are really pleased to be working in close partnership with ASPECT Studios on this incredible project that brings nature and biophilic design to the forefront

ASPECT Studios&rsquo; Studio Director Matthew Mackay said they are looking forward to drawing on our experience of designing and delivering green infrastructure, biophilia and living architecture and pairing it with our local knowledge to provide a significant urban greening outcome for the city of Melbourne.

The development will be the first in Melbourne for the UK-based Grant Associates, who are most recognised for designing Singapore's well known Gardens by the Bay

The highly anticipated $2 billion dual tower skyscraper, <a href="/new-apartments/sth-bnk-by-beulah-southbank-60-southbank-boulevard-southbank">Southbank by Beulah</a>, has been awarded the seal of approval from Planning Minister Hon. Richard Wynne to commence construction next year.

It's a pivotal moment for the property industry and skyscraper enthusiasts across the country, who have waited almost a year to hear the verdict as to whether the landmark development would be gracing the Melbourne skyline anytime soon. In a time of social and economic disruption due to the current pandemic, the positive news couldn't have come at a more apt time.

<figcaption>Image supplied.</figcaption></figure><a href="/developers/beulah">Beulah International</a> Managing Director, Jiaheng Chan, acknowledged the financial strain the country is currently experiencing and hopes to reinvigorate the market once the new <a href="/new-apartments/southbank-vic-3006">Southbank</a> project is delivered. 

<blockquote>
"We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to both the Victorian Government and the City of Melbourne for their endorsement of Southbank by Beulah, which we hope will play a significant role in Melbourne's economic recovery over the coming years."
</blockquote>

Southbank by Beulah is likely to take five years to complete construction and will offer jobs to approximately 4,700 construction workers, via the provision of a $1 billion additional investment stimulus to the Melbourne construction industry. Once complete, the development also has scope to provide the Victorian workforce with around 3,250 jobs in the commercial, retail, entertainment, hospitality and child care sectors. These new job opportunities will, in turn, grow the Southbank working population by around 8%.

<blockquote>
"Southbank by Beulah will transform the way Melburnians work, live, learn, revitalise and play — it will set a global benchmark for an unprecedented lifestyle hub that caters to present and future generations and will assist in the future growth of Melbourne and its vision to become a truly global smart city."
</blockquote>

Jiaheng Chan, Beulah International Managing Director 

With plans to reach a staggering 365 metres tall, Southbank by Beulah is likely to claim the title of Australia's tallest building, overtaking Australia 108 which is due to top out early this year.

The collaborative design by Dutch firm <a href="/architects/unstudio">UNStudio</a> and local firm <a href="/architects/cox-architecture">Cox Architecture</a> will see the transformation of the existing BMW site, into a future-focused vertical village, spanning a total of 270,000 square metres of sought-after real estate. 

Each of the two towers feature a unique helix shape, which ensures each floor utilises the exceptional city views on offer. Colloquially referenced as the 'Green Spine', Southbank by Beulah dons striking vertical greenery, as well as a vibrant rooftop garden, encased in a canopy of alternating vertical and horizontal beams, which will protect the plants from the elements. The decision to include vertical greenery is not only visually striking and an environmentally conscious choice, but it also pays homage to Melbourne's title of The Garden City.

Southbank by Beulah: State Government give Australia's tallest future skyscraper the green light to commence construction

<html><body>
A major planning milestone was achieved last night when the City of Melbourne's Future Melbourne Committee unanimously backed the planning application for the Southbank by Beulah development - a proposal that if built would be Melbourne and Australia's next tallest building.

The UNS + Cox design was a result of one of Melbourne's most prominent design competitions to date and has been covered extensively here on Apartments.com.au. The planning application was lodged back in <a href="/news/beulah-international-submits-planning-application-for-southbank-by-beulah">August 2019</a>.

While the ultimate aye or nay is signed off by the Victorian Planning Minister - as the responsible authority for planning application of this scale, the City of Melbourne is a referral authority, and their endorsement will go a long way in helping the Minister make his decision.

There are some other planning hurdles to work through. Notably, aviation authorities are yet to sign off on the proposal as the East Tower's height - 365.1 metres - breaches the <a href="/news/aviation-impact-on-building-development-in-the-melbourne-cbd">PANS-OPS</a> controls for Southbank.

The FMC meeting noted that should aviation authorities reject the proposal as it stands, it is expected the east tower's height will likely be reduced by 11 metres in order to comply with aviation regulations government Essendon airport as they stand.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/sbb2_0.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Southbank by Beulah. Image: UNS/Cox, Beulah"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="497" src="/s3/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/sbb2_0.jpg?itok=GzPqY2vQ" title="Southbank by Beulah. Image: UNS/Cox, Beulah" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Southbank by Beulah. Image: UNS/Cox, Beulah</figcaption></figure>341 one-bedroom apartments, 263 two-bedroom apartments, 146 three-bedroom apartments, 24 four-bedroom apartments and 15 penthouses will see the total apartments to 789 in the East tower. In terms of hotel rooms, there will be 202 and a further 120 hotel residences in the west tower, sending the total number of residential and hotel units over the 1000 mark.

The development will include just over 27,000 square metres of net leasable floor space for office uses. It will consist of over 32,000 square metres of gross lettable area for retail uses that includes food and drink premises and a supermarket.

A childcare centre will be present in the development which will take up 1,200 square metres of the net leasable area - enough space for 100 children. An exhibition centre (1438 square metres) and conservatory (1,758 square metres) are also included in the planning application.

The east tower, subject to aviation and Ministerial approval, will be 365.1 metres high over 102 levels.  The west tower will measure 250 metres across 59 levels.

For perspective, the west tower will be approximately the same height as the 80s-built Rialto Tower at 525 Collins Street. The east tower - subject to aviation approval - will be approximately 48 metres taller than Australia 108, the tower that is in the final stages of construction and the current tallest building in Melbourne.

<figcaption>Southbank by Beulah. Image: UNS/Cox, Beulah</figcaption></figure>Councillor Rohan Leppert endorsed the application,

<blockquote>
"I think the thought that has gone into the ground plane and the multistory activation - with the public access not just to the ground floor but further up the fragmented podium, if you like - of the building is brilliantly well thought through."
</blockquote>

Lord Mayor Sally Cap highlighted the accessibility and pedestrian thoroughfare benefits of the proposal - especially as it will create a thoroughfare for pedestrians from City Road, through the site and Freshwater Place and the river.

<blockquote>
"I think that those sorts of ways of providing accessibility through what could otherwise be viewed as fortresses in the sky, are really important and they do add considerably [...] to the sense of vibrancy and human activity."
</blockquote>

The Lord Mayor also noted council officers recommended several conditions and that they are aimed at improving the outcomes for Southbank and the city while retaining the vision for the project.
