A full-scale Sky Homes prototype apartment for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/zeste-at-the-orchards-norwest-104-fairway-drive-norwest-nsw-2153">Zeste</a> has been opened by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sekisui-house-australia">Sekisui House Australia</a>, offering buyers a look at the final residential release within The Orchards masterplan in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/norwest-nsw-2153">Norwest</a>.

The prototype launch coincides with buyer demand for larger apartment living continuing across Sydney’s Hills District.

David Lee, Sales Manager, Apartment &amp; Mixed-Use Developments at Sekisui House Australia said it was evident from the preceding four stages at The Orchards that a large number of buyers were local owner occupiers or downsizers specifically looking for oversized apartments with additional living spaces.

“The majority of buyers prefer to touch, feel and physically sight a full-scale completed apartment, rather than imagining the living spaces from floor plans," Lee says.

"The prototype apartment provides greater clarity and buyer confidence. We expect this will increase sales momentum for Zeste and the Sky Homes in particular.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150510 project_image_fid=351878]

Positioned within Stage 5’s Zeste project, the Sky Homes form part of the final opportunity to purchase within the award-winning master-planned community, which will ultimately deliver approximately 1,300 apartments.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>, Zeste comprises two residential buildings, Essence and Eden, providing 209 apartments surrounded by extensive landscaping, resort-style amenities and community spaces.

Ben Pomroy, Principal at Rothelowman said Zeste explores a reinvention of the traditional house, in the orchard, synthesising the nostalgic story of the orchard homestead of yesteryear with a contemporary aesthetic inspired by the landscape.

“Natural light and ventilation are key to the design, contributing to a higher quality of life at the human scale. Across all Rothelowman projects, our ethos of ‘a generous eye for life’ drives our consideration of the human experience as the central point of focus of our design process.”

Pomroy says a&nbsp;notable design element is the cathedral glass light boxes incorporated in the joinery, inspired by the idea of wandering the orchard homestead with a lantern in hand, something familiar and nostalgic.

"We took this narrative and gave it a contemporary twist that is both beautiful and functional, creating unique features that unify the kitchen and bathrooms design.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150510 project_image_fid=351874]

In addition to the two residential buildings, Zeste comprises a single-story community amenity pavilion nestled in the landscape between Essence and Eden.

“The communal pavilion is a distinctive feature designed to foster a deep sense of community, with nature at its heart," Pomroy added.

"Whether it is watching the football grand final or hosting a family BBQ, the pavilion is designed as a place where residents can create memorable moments with friends, family and neighbours.

Since launching Essence, the first building within Zeste, buyer demand has remained strong with more than 30 per cent of residences already sold. Sky Homes have accounted for nearly 40 per cent of all sales achieved since launch.

“Purchasers are responding positively to the oversized layouts, diverse apartment configurations and the vast range of community facilities that will be available at completion,”David Lee noted.

Zeste Sky Homes represent approximately 35 per cent of the entire Stage 5 offering and are available across both Essence and the yet-to-launch Eden building. Prices for the Sky Homes range from $1,135,000 with one car space through to $1,500,000 for two car spaces.

Apartments across the broader Zeste release start from approximately $715,000, with generous floorplans ranging from 59 to 144sqm. Select residences also feature integrated ‘Max’ spaces, designed to function as flexible areas for home offices, children’s playrooms or additional storage.

Zeste also continues Sekisui House Australia’s sustainability partnership with Altogether Group, delivering integrated water, power and data services alongside passive design initiatives including cross-ventilation, landscaping and water features.

Early purchasers are currently able to access a selection of premium upgrade options, with VIP buyers receiving one complimentary upgrade package. A 2.5 per cent deposit is available for a short time.

Sekisui recently commenced its pre-construction phase. They are expecting an early 2028 completion of Zeste.

Zeste Sky Homes prototype opens as buyer demand surges for oversized apartment living

Having recently announced its entry into the booming Gold Coast new apartment market with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/aere-chevron-island-18-20-mawarra-street-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Aere Chevron Island</a>, developer Martello™ is offering generous stamp duty savings for buyers before June 30.

Martello™ says the incentive creates a more accessible entry into premium apartment living.

"While incentives in property are nothing new, today’s stamp duty contributions arrive at a particularly important moment," the developer says.

"Buyers are not only seeking quality homes and strong locations; they are also looking for smarter financial entry points. Reducing or offsetting stamp duty can represent tens of thousands of dollars in savings - funds that can instead be directed toward furnishing a home, reducing mortgage pressure, or simply providing peace of mind during the transition into ownership."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367517]

Aere is one of the more boutique new developments on Chevron Island, with just 33 apartments across 18 storeys on Mawarra Street

The developer has placed a strong emphasis on wellness, briefing architecture firm Raunik Design to embed this philosophy into the project.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a>&nbsp;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.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=368446]

To bring a heightened level of confidence to the project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/martello">Martello™</a>&nbsp;has already appointed Promax Construction to build the tower. They are expected to start construction in the coming months.

Martello™ says that in any market cycle, confidence matters.

"Buyers who may have been waiting on the sidelines are now reassessing their timing as developers and vendors introduce meaningful incentives designed to support decision-making. For owner-occupiers, it creates an opportunity to secure a premium residence with reduced upfront costs. For investors, it can improve the overall acquisition equation at a time when rental demand remains exceptionally strong across many key markets."

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367507]

Aere offers a mix of two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, the latter of which occupy half a flor. 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.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367515]

&nbsp;

"What we are seeing now is a market that rewards readiness," Martello added.

"Buyers who are informed, financially prepared, and willing to act decisively are finding opportunities that may not exist once conditions shift again. Incentives such as stamp duty contributions are typically limited in duration and allocation, particularly within tightly held developments where demand remains high.

&nbsp;

Offer available on selected residences at Aere Chevron Island only. Stamp duty contribution provided by the developer at settlement and cannot be exchanged for cash or combined with any other offer unless approved by the developer. Offer valid for contracts signed on or before 30 June 2026. The developer reserves the right to amend or withdraw the offer at any time without notice. Terms and conditions apply.

Martello™ offers limited time stamp duty concessions at Aere Chevron Island

New development specialists Lachlan Cottee and Ben Dalgleish have unveiled their new development firm, Dalcott, following several successful projects delivered under the Pyco banner across the region.

Pyco is currently delivering Atelier in nearby West End, Nouveau in Albion, and Onde at Kirra, its debut Gold Coast apartment development in the booming Kirra Beach precinct.

Its first plans under the new Dalcott banner are in South Brisbane, which has been Brisbane’s most enquired-on suburb so far in 2026, while neighbouring West End has also continued to record strong demand.

The developer already has approval for an 11-storey building with 65 apartments on Browning Street, however has recently acquired the adjoining 910 sqm site at the rear, creating a combined 2,746 sqm footprint that will now allow for two 11-storey buildings with 92 large-scale apartments, a configuration Cottee and Dalgleish have focused on across their local portfolio.

The project, known as <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marrone-south-brisbane-39-browning-street-south-brisbane-qld-4101">Marrone</a>, will comprise 84 three-bedroom apartments, 16 of which will include an additional multipurpose room, and just eight two-bedroom residences.

DAH Architecture has led the design of Marrone, which will include more than 330 sqm of communal open space and rooftop recreation areas.

<img alt="Marrone" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7eeea1a0-be23-47c8-80fb-3409428241fd" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-21%20at%209.36.38%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=pZW7o.tB7oJovYCRIFSxrZbMr6QdpHy." />

Cottee told Apartments.com.au the project reflects a gap in Brisbane’s apartment market.

"It is an area we know well with Atelier, another development which focuses on large apartments, less than 300 metres away," Cottee says.

"There's limited supply of large-scale apartments of this size in a single building in Brisbane. The majority of apartments in this category are in considerably smaller buildings, on the water, and are only really accessible to the deepest of pockets.

"Marrone will offer the same size and scale, but with greater amenity and at a much more realistic price point for the market."

The architectural approach reflects the continued evolution of South Brisbane’s higher-density residential character. Renders show a heavily landscaped façade composition with curved balconies, textured brickwork, deep recesses, and integrated planting aimed at softening the scale of the twin towers.

The revised proposal builds on the design narrative established in the original scheme. In the earlier submission, Gatehouse Architects described the project as a continuation of Browning Street’s long-term urban transformation.

“The proposal echoes the spirit of early developments like Watson Terrace (built in 1888), by contributing to the growth and diversification of the local population,” the original design statement noted.

“Just as Watson Terrace played a role in the area’s early gentrification, this development continues that trajectory, delivering contemporary housing that addresses the evolving needs of South Brisbane’s expanding community.”

The updated proposal, designed by DAH Architecture, spans a 2,746 sqm corner site with frontages to Browning and O’Connell Streets. The development will comprise two 11-storey residential buildings delivering 92 apartments, replacing the previously proposed 65-unit scheme.

The apartment mix has shifted further toward larger owner-occupier residences, continuing Dalcott’s established strategy across South East Queensland. The plans include 68 three-bedroom apartments, 16 three-bedroom apartments with multipurpose rooms, and eight two-bedroom residences. Two basement levels will provide 142 car spaces, alongside bicycle parking for 115 bikes.

The larger Marrone proposal arrives amid sustained redevelopment momentum across South Brisbane and the wider Kurilpa precinct, where developers are increasingly targeting owner-occupiers seeking larger apartments close to the CBD, cultural precincts, and riverfront amenity.

The site sits within walking distance of South Bank, the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Brisbane State High School, and several major transport connections, while nearby Fish Lane and West End continue to drive demand for higher-end inner-city apartments.

Cottee is expecting Marrone to launch around August with Realm Projects.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/doma-group">DOMA Group</a> has unveiled plans for Newcastle Quay, a major waterfront precinct set to reshape Newcastle’s harbourfront and further cement the city’s evolution into one of Australia’s fastest-growing urban destinations.

Positioned on a prominent site within the Honeysuckle Precinct, Newcastle Quay will span both sides of Honeysuckle Drive, connecting directly to the Foreshore Promenade and sitting within walking distance of Newcastle Interchange.

The mixed-use precinct is planned to include around 1,000 apartments, more than 28,000 sqm of commercial office space, 6,000 sqm of retail, and a 180-room hotel anchored by a 500-seat conference and exhibition centre, a move expected to significantly lift Newcastle’s ability to attract major business and tourism events.
</section>

<img alt="DOMA Group unveil Newcastle’s future with transformative Newcastle Quay Precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0642ca09-67cc-4920-8a7e-d18df9729b4e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/%3D.png?VersionId=CnDmZxQnOV5LN0ePu7jaFBXC9tPGTrWm" />

The proposal builds on DOMA’s growing Newcastle pipeline, where the developer has already delivered 866 apartments and more than 19,000 sqm of commercial and retail space since entering the market in 2013. A further $2 billion pipeline is also in the works across the city.

The masterplan and executive architecture are led by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, with building concepts developed alongside Stewart Architecture, Architecture AND and Curious Practice, and landscape design by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/turf-design">Turf Design Studio</a>. More than 11,000 sqm of open space is planned, including a new waterfront park known as Honeysuckle Green, upgrades to Tree of Knowledge Park, and new pedestrian and cycling links throughout the precinct.

At the centre of the development will be the heritage-listed Wickham School of Arts, which DOMA plans to reposition as the civic and cultural heart of the precinct through restaurants, bars, events and public gathering spaces.

The broader vision is to create a genuine day-to-night precinct, blending residential, hospitality, retail, commercial and cultural uses in a way Newcastle has yet to experience at this scale.

DOMA Group Managing Director Jure Domazet said the aim was to create a precinct that becomes synonymous with Newcastle itself.

“Our vision is to create a precinct that not only delivers high-quality commercial, residential, and cultural spaces, but also defines Newcastle’s waterfront for generations to come,” Domazet said.

DOMA’s Chris Farrington said the project would fundamentally change how Newcastle is perceived nationally.

“Newcastle Quay is more than a waterfront precinct, it is a national announcement for this city,” Farrington said.

“A world-class Conference and Exhibition Centre will open Newcastle and the Hunter Region to a national and international audience for the first time, delivering something this city has long deserved.”

The project is expected to generate more than 4,000 full-time equivalent jobs and act as a major economic driver for the Hunter region through tourism, business events, hospitality and commercial investment.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully said the final parcel of harbourfront land will be a "true mixed-use precinct destination that includes housing, hospitality and entertainment, commercial spaces, retail, economic and social outcomes."

DOMA Group unveils 1,000-apartment Newcastle Quay precinct

ASX-listed developer Stockland is continuing to ramp up its return to the apartment market.

In late 2024, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/stockland">Stockland</a> announced it would resume apartment development after a 13-year absence, launching with Stanton Place in Rosebery, a 144-apartment project now under construction.

Last week, the developer unveiled plans alongside the NSW Government for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/first-look-stockland-nsw-gov-unveils-plans-for-3-300-home-waterloo-south-renewal">3,300-home precinct in Waterloo</a>.

Now, Stockland has shifted its focus in St Leonards, lodging a State Significant Development Application (SSDA) to replace an approved 42-storey office tower with a 52-storey residential development comprising more than 500 apartments.

<img alt="Stockland" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8979095e-9072-432b-a7da-58b180cf994d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-20%20at%204.27.36%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=_jbRXYOafCSHjwsz.yQCNIymMyCj8zkF" />

An existing 14-storey commercial office building would make way for a 264.5-metre tower designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bates-smart">Bates Smart</a>. The project would deliver 538 apartments, including 30 affordable housing units, alongside retail and commercial uses at the podium and ground plane.

It will rise from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/601-pacific-highway-st-leonards-nsw-2065">601 Pacific Highway</a>, a prominent 2,844 sqm triangular site adjoining Mitchell Plaza and fronting Pacific Highway.

The development is being pursued under the Housing Delivery Authority pathway after Stockland’s proposal was declared State Significant Development earlier this year.

<img alt="First look: Stockland plans 52-storey mixed-use tower with 538 apartments in St Leonards" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="67f40f35-0458-47ab-80c0-a4e98a31838a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/stockland%201.png?VersionId=rxXe3njr.auuGDuiR0k42uI8Zr4K.gZA" />

The apartment mix includes 217 one-bedroom apartments, 191 two-bedroom apartments, 122 three-bedroom apartments, and eight four-bedroom residences. Six basement levels would accommodate 300 car spaces, bicycle parking, loading areas, and building services.

Bates Smart said the project has been shaped around a series of urban design principles intended to improve the pedestrian experience and respond to the evolving character of St Leonards.

“With a boundary length of almost 75m along Pacific Highway and 70m along Atchison Street to the north, complying simply with the LEP envelope and required setbacks would result in a very wide tower form on the skyline,” the architects noted in the Design Report.

“We propose breaking the tower form into two defined volumes rather than a singular form.”

The podium has similarly been articulated into separate forms to reduce perceived bulk and create a finer-grain response to Mitchell Plaza and Atchison Street. Retail tenancies would activate the lower levels, while commercial space is proposed across the podium floors.

<img alt="First look: Stockland plans 52-storey mixed-use tower with 538 apartments in St Leonards" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="90149990-0551-40d2-bd48-14b69a015d12" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/stockland%202.png?VersionId=MJC2KIIWFvU9FPGr3IVq09gkRN_gX3m8" />

The design also places a significant emphasis on communal amenity and environmental performance. Residents would have access to landscaped terraces, wellness areas, flexible workspaces, and rooftop communal facilities, while the all-electric building is targeting an average 7-star NatHERS rating. Bates Smart said the project incorporates passive design measures including natural ventilation, integrated shading, and lightweight façade systems.

Planning documents note the site is around 350 metres from St Leonards Station and 400 metres from the metro entrance, placing it within one of Sydney’s most connected emerging residential precincts.

The project arrives amid a wave of large-scale redevelopment proposals reshaping the St Leonards and Crows Nest skyline. Several nearby sites have recently been approved, lodged, or declared under the Housing Delivery Authority pathway as the precinct absorbs significant residential density uplift tied to transit-oriented development policies.

<img alt="Stockland" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7805bd7c-dfd7-4b35-8e15-ec4a8bf8e61b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-20%20at%204.27.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=iY12K2m2bQ6EeDnshqfZC9rbLx_oEugP" />

Bates Smart’s report describes St Leonards as transitioning away from its historical commercial identity toward a more mixed-use urban environment.

“In recent years, the character of St Leonards has started to evolve, driven by new development trends along the Pacific Highway corridor,” the report said.

“These projects have increasingly focused on residential accommodation, marking a shift from its purely commercial roots.”

Sekisui House Australia is currently selling Waterstone down near Newlands Park, in a pocket being branded "St Leonards South." Hyecorp recently completed Audrey in the same pocket.

Spyre Group

The record-breaking Queensland developer Spyre Group is set to launch its first Melbourne apartment development, in the Bayside suburb of Hampton.

The boutique project, Hampton Ltd, will see just 20 apartments and three townhouses developed across three three-level buildings on the corner of Thomas Street and Deakin Street, near Hampton Beach and Bayside's entertainment capital Church Street in nearby Brighton.

Spyre Managing Director Daniel Laruccia, who hails from Victoria, said the company's ambition has been to extend&nbsp;the same level of design and innovation down south.

He said the key factor was the location.

“In our pursuit to offer an unmatched living experience for those who desire the extraordinary, we discovered Hampton is the ideal canvas to bring this vision to life - a prime bayside location brimming with untapped potential," Laruccia said.

The two and three-bedroom apartments are expected to be popular among empty nester downsizers and young professionals.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4c9320c7-a33b-4c54-9a44-fed7dbcd899f" href="/new-apartments/hampton-ltd-24-thomas-street-hampton-vic-3188"><img alt="Hampton Ltd" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Track%20Listing%20CTA%20template%20-%20landscape%20%285%29.jpg?VersionId=kAi7KGYL6QlkPxGL2.FNOMrDwZ4Uq4gY" /></a>

Architects MLD Studio designed the project, with the interiors crafted by Studio Brent Lee.

Jellis Craig Bayside&nbsp;agent Melina Scriva, who is marketing the project, said Hampton Ltd represented a unique proposition in the area.

“Spyre brings a genuine passion to their projects and an unwavering dedication to exceptional quality," Scriva says.

"Hampton Ltd introduces a bespoke offering that the Bayside community hasn’t seen before.”

Interior layouts are designed around focal points such as the open plan kitchens and master bedrooms, spaces where people spend most of their time. The living area flows around the entertainer’s kitchen where a sculptural island bench, crafted from Vanilish Pearl marble, stands as a statement piece.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bac5e003-9ec8-452b-a461-79459c34cf30" href="/new-apartments/hampton-ltd-24-thomas-street-hampton-vic-3188"><img alt="Hampton Ltd" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Track%20Listing%20CTA%20template%20-%20landscape%20%286%29.jpg?VersionId=g9MKOSMQ6okcQ7JcN4GWNceHUFEGxy63" /></a>

The master bedrooms offer generosity of space and abundant natural light. They feature lush wool carpets, and an expansive walk-in wardrobe with feature timber-look joinery.

Spyre has more than $750 million of luxury developments under their belt in South East Queensland, across Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Laruccia said the company was regarded in Queensland for having the foresight, and ability to conceive projects that enhance the “lifestyle wealth’’ of their residents and Spyre wanted to bring that vision to Melbourne.

“Spyre has identified a genuine demand in the market for aspirational properties that inspire through their design and innovation,’’ Laruccia said.

Spyre’s Moray House development on the New Farm reach of the Brisbane River broke the record for Brisbane’s most expensive apartment sale, when its two-level 800 square metre penthouse <a href="/news/qld/spyre-secure-15-75-million-brisbane-apartment-record-at-moray-house-new-farm-riverfront-development">sold off the plan for $15.75 million in January</a>.

In March last year, the penthouse of Spyre’s Glasshouse development at <a href="/news/qld/spyre-group-smash-queensland-apartment-record-with-20-million-burleigh-heads-penthouse-sale">Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast sold for $20 million</a>, giving it the title of Queensland’s most expensive off-the-plan penthouse.

Spyre Managing Director Daniel Laruccia, who hails from Victoria, said the company's ambition has been to extend the same level of design and innovation down south.



Spyre Group unveil first Melbourne apartment development, Hampton Ltd

Brisbane is set to see it's first sky garage, a term coined for garages that are located on the same level as the apartment, often reserved for only the premium residences at the top of the tower.

There's only a handful of examples of the rare inclusion across the world. They've been a custom feature in luxury high-rises in Dubai, Singapore and Miami.

Only one other project in the whole of Australia can boast a sky garage, the under construction <a href="/new-apartments/neue-grand-613-st-kilda-road-melbourne">Neue Grand on St Kilda Road</a>, which made headlines in 2018 when it announced it was creating a number of sky garages adjoining the living space.

Brisbane developer Spyre Group will be bringing the sky garage to their record-breaking <a href="/developments/new-farm-qld-4005">New Farm apartment development</a>, Moray House.

<img alt="Moray House" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5aba67cf-fff3-469a-8c8c-2304467ad1db" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-07-26%20at%2010.58.59%20am.png?VersionId=AgT3kxDs6rbLT1mt8DsJbLLujWXl0iHe" />

There will be two apartments with the sky garage feature. The residents of the apartments will&nbsp;be able to pull in off Moray Street, enter a remote-control operated car lift, and drive into their own garage in their apartments above the Brisbane River.

Once at their apartment’s level, residents will have the luxury of reversing from the elevator into their private sky garage, which can be viewed from the adjoining glass-walled gym.

The other two car spaces can be accessed by taking the car elevator down to the parking garage at the bottom of the development. The car journey from entering the vehicular lift to the basement is expected to be 18 seconds.

“The sky garage will appeal to luxury vehicle enthusiasts who want privacy as well as the additional security of garaging their car in their apartment rather than using regular basement parking,’’ Spyre director Andrew Malouf said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=105057 project_image_fid=209769]

The six-residence development features views that frame the Story Bridge and follow the Riverwalk from Howard Smith Wharves to the Eagle Street precinct in the CBD.

Moray House has been described as “akin to living in a tree house’’ and features full floor length garden beds, allowing residents to express their individuality.&nbsp;

The exterior design communes with the surrounding Jacaranda trees and will take on different hues as the seasons change.

The interiors include the highest finishes of Chambord stone in a complex grain, European oak herringbone flooring and bespoke timber joinery. The chef-grade kitchens feature WOLF appliances an integrated Liebherr fridge and freezer and VZUG dishwasher.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=105057 project_image_fid=209770]

“Each apartment can be individually curated for the new owners with custom components that allow their homes to truly classify as ‘one of one’, Malouf added.

"These include a lap pool, sky garages, wellness rooms and personalised gyms."

Spyre Group to bring luxury-defining sky garage to Brisbane at Moray House

Brisbane-based South East Queenslander developer Spyre Group has secured another off the plan penthouse record.

Having broken the record for the most expensive apartment sale in the Gold Coast (and Queensland) last year when they sold the penthouse of their Burleigh Heads project Glasshouse for $20 million, Spyre has marked the same feat in Brisbane.

They've already sold the penthouse in their striking New Farm project Moray House, on the riverfront Moray Street in New Farm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=105057 project_image_fid=209770]

The penthouse has 800 sqm across two levels, and will feature its very own sky garage. The sale equates to nearly $20,000 per sqm.

Simon Caulfield at Place Kangaroo Point sold the apartment to a couple who live on Moray Street.

Spyre Group Director Andrew Malouf says the bueau^proberts-designed development will&nbsp;solidify Brisbane’s status as a destination for prestige property.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=105057 project_image_fid=209775]

There are only six apartments in the architecturally-impressive, with prices starting from $9 million. The apartments have an average living space of 320 sqm.

“The starting price of $9 million owed itself to the development’s exceptional location and craftsmanship,” Malouf said.

“This property will be both a first and last of its kind.

“Each apartment can be individually curated for the new owners with custom components that allow these homes to truly classify as ‘one of one’. These include a lap pool, sky garages, wellness rooms and personalised gyms.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=105057 project_image_fid=209774]

Moray House will feature natural materials that reflect the surrounding topography, elegant curves, stonework and cabinetry.

“While the design is breathtaking, the added appeal is the direct access to the Brisbane riverwalk and the views of the Story Bridge and city skyline from every residence.”

Spyre Group Design Manager Kent Pinel said Moray House residents would enjoy a home specifically built for sub-tropical living at an unrivalled location.

“It will present locals with a redefined vision of what a personal sanctuary ought to be,” Pinel said.

Spyre secure $15.75 million Brisbane apartment record at Moray House, New Farm riverfront development

The penthouse crowning Arc Toowong, the newest Brisbane development from prominent South East Queensland developer Spyre Group, will be one of the priciest ever developed in the Queensland capital.

Spyre are seeking $14.5 million for the luxury 700 sqm spread atop the striking riverfront project designed by bureau^proberts.

The developer will be shooting for back to back records with the Toowong penthouse, having earlier this year secured the biggest price for any Queensland apartment, both off the plan and established, at it's boutique Burleigh Heads project, Glasshouse.

Bureau^proberts, who also designed Glasshouse, were again tasked with creating a visually-unrepeatable development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112987 project_image_fid=201583]

The penthouse boasts&nbsp;100 metres of unobstructed river frontage across two floors, the largest river frontage for a multi-resident property in Brisbane. It comprises four bedrooms, including an expansive master which has&nbsp;180-degree views over the river and St Lucia, and a private ensuite with a separate wellness spa featuring a steam room and ice bath overlooking a tropical garden.

Spyre Group Design Director Kent Pinel said that every design choice of the two-level penthouse was curated to serve a distinctly Brisbane lifestyle for a discerning buyer who appreciates rarity, craftsmanship, and who seeks an enriching life.

“From the moment you enter, you quickly find there is little the apartment cannot do,” Pinel said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112987 project_image_fid=207942]

“Everything exists to elevate the residents’ level of living. You have the grand art gallery and open plan living space for the entertainer, the private studies for the work-from-home executive, the blank canvas gallery wall for the culturally curious, a 5-car private garage and basement recreation space, and a private spa for the wellness inclined individuals seeking to optimise their routine."

So far 90 per cent of the buyers have been downsizers from Brisbane's western suburbs.

"It’s a property for the locals” Pinel said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112987 project_image_fid=207939]

The most impressive feature of the penthouse is its private rooftop terrace, which offers 360-degree views over the Brisbane skyline, the river, Mt Coot-tha and St Lucia. It comes complete with a 20-metre pool, heated spa, private yoga green and an entertainer’s kitchen with subtropical landscaping wrapping the space.

The kitchen features tailored European appliances by V-Zug and an arbored island bench thermally moulded into a solid surface, a versatile man-made material.

“Arc is our opportunity to define the architectural difference in an emerging city that is truly subtropical, maybe the only one of its kind in the world, and the rooftop terrace is built to enrich this lifestyle,” Pinel added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112987 project_image_fid=201584]

“You can’t get the same architectural experience of the open rooftop, the river frontage, or the subtropical garden landscaping in places like Sydney, New York, even the Gold Coast, especially not for the price.

“Brisbane has the perfect subtropical climate for this lifestyle and we're pioneering to create a design standard unique to our river city.”

The 28 apartments, which start at around $3 million, are being marketed by YPM Group.&nbsp;

The sub-penthouse, the only other four-bedroom apartment in the development, has a $7.25 million price tag.

Brisbane's best penthouse? Spyre Group light up Toowong with ARC penthouse

The Gold Coast apartment market has been rocked with a $20 million sale, breaking every record in the Sunshine State.

The two-level penthouse in Glasshouse in Burleigh Heads, which features one of the most impressive rooftops money could buy, has sold for not only an apartment record (both of​f the plan and established) in the Gold Coast, but the whole of Queensland.

It&#39;s topped some of the best penthouses in Brisbane, and even the apartments that line Noosa&#39;s beachfront Hastings Street strip.

The penthouse, one of just three apartments in South East Queensland developer Spyre Group&#39;s dress circle project at 10 Goodwin Terrace, has been snapped up by an interstate buyer. They visited the impressive display suite, and intend to use the apartment as a holiday home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104773 project_image_fid=189485]

It&#39;s the speediness of the sale that has shocked property watchers and local developers with proper marketing only really taking place earlier this year. Even some of Sydney Harbour&#39;s biggest&nbsp;sales take years to find a buyer.

There hasn&#39;t been a development produced on the Gold Coast that has come close to finding a $20 million apartment buyer. It&#39;s a figure more associated the purchase of a prime development site, as opposed to one of the apartments in the development.

The penthouse,&nbsp;which spans 970 sqm of living space, an area more than five times the size of an average home, has two separate living spaces, four bedrooms across two levels, six bathrooms, a media room, infrared sauna, fire pit, outdoor bar, multiple outdoor dining and lounge areas, a gym, wine cellar and private five car garage.

The staggered rooftop has never-to-be-built-out views over Burleigh Heads Beach, and features its own private pool and spa deck. The rooftop was an important factor in the purchase, CBRE Residential Projects Senior Director Nicholas Clydsdale said. &quot;It&#39;s a perfect space to share with family and friends and create memories,&quot;&nbsp;Clydsdale said.

Clydsdale added that there were three big drivers for the purchase; the location, the finish, and of course the rooftop.

&quot;This location perfectly combines proximity and amenity with an unsurpassed connection to the natural surrounds, all while ensuring the privacy of a stand-alone home is retained in this impeccable residence,&quot;&nbsp;Clydsdale added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104773 project_image_fid=189487]

Spyre Group&rsquo;s director Andrew Malouf said the record sale is a crowning achievement for the company after laying plans last year to create in Glasshouse the ultimate coastal address in one of Australia&rsquo;s most sought-after locations.

&ldquo;We received a great deal of genuine interest in this property and the market was very accepting of the value proposition it presented,&rdquo;&nbsp;Malouf said.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a true reflection of what happens when a perfectly elevated, unrepeatable location is met with the very best of design detail and finish. To have a market so enthused by this level of offering is a great outcome and a call to where the Group is headed.&rdquo;

Glasshouse is the most exclusive project yet to be delivered by the Brisbane-based Spyre Group, which has had a stellar run of across six projects on the Gold Coast since 2018.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104773 project_image_fid=188873]

The Burleigh Heads development comprises just three exclusive residences, each encased in floor-to ceiling glass to capture sweeping to capture the views across Burleigh Beach and north to Surfers Paradise.

The ground-floor apartment occupies the entire floor and features a lower-level terrace. Above will be the full-floor middle residence, with each of these lower residences delivering a commanding 300sqm of living space.

All three residences feature bespoke inclusions that have been likened to works of art, including custom handblown lights by SOKTAS and an impressive kitchen island bench and bathroom vanities which are crafted from Italian marble.

&ldquo;Each of these superb residences offer unrivalled style, scale and standard overlooking the Gold Coast&rsquo;s breathtaking coastal landscape,&rdquo;&nbsp;Malouf added.

&ldquo;The location is unique, iconic and without doubt the best place of anywhere in Australia to be delivering a project of this calibre to the market.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104773 project_image_fid=188871]

Clydsdale&nbsp;said that Glasshouse Burleigh offers a new level of luxury within Australia&rsquo;s most desirable beachfront enclave, where every element has been refined to the highest possible standard.

&ldquo;The calibre of this sale validates Burleigh Heads as a world-class destination worthy of a world-class penthouse,&rdquo;&nbsp;Clydsdale said.

Glasshouse is the latest in a series of successful projects undertaken by Spyre Group since it ventured out of its home market in Brisbane four years ago.

Among its milestone achievements was the sale of a full-floor penthouse at the $57 million Cala Dei Coolangatta last year to a local family for $7.1 million.

The company has evolved into one of the leaders in luxury apartments developments, with multiple award-winning projects across the Gold Coast and Brisbane.

It is close to completion on the $77 million Natura Residences on the Burleigh Heads Esplanade which sold out in one weekend in early 2020. The project was also marketed by Clydsdale.

Spyre Group is currently progressing toward a construction commencement for Glasshouse which is expected to be completed in late 2023.

The penthouse, one of just three apartments in South East Queensland developer Spyre Group's dress circle project at 10 Goodwin Terrace, has been snapped up by an interstate buyer

Spyre Group smash Queensland apartment record with $20 million Burleigh Heads penthouse sale

Rarely does a new adjective need to be created to define a project.

But such is the calibre of what the South East Queensland developer&nbsp;Spyre Group is offering at their latest Burleigh Heads apartment development, Glasshouse, the term &quot;hyper-luxe&quot; has been coined, and the boutique project of just three apartments certainly warrants the tag line.

No developer has gone as far as producing something quite as special as Glasshouse, which when completed will no doubt be the most expensive apartment project&nbsp;across the whole of the Gold Coast.

The two-level penthouse, with one of the most impressive private rooftops arguably in the country, could be the first Queensland apartment ever to&nbsp;break through the $20 million mark.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104773 project_image_fid=189487]

The project, on the dress circle Goodwin Terrace in Burleigh Heads, which&nbsp;has been one of the most in demand apartment markets on the Gold Coast in the last 18 months, has been designed in collaboration with Bureau^proberts, whose brief from Spyre was simple yet impactful: &quot;Create the impossible.&quot;

&quot;This remarkable stretch of beachfront gave us astonishing design possibilities,&quot; Bureau^proberts Director Terry McQuillan said.

&quot;We knew we needed an architectural response that captured and amplified the natural qualities of this extraordinary place&mdash;something that was as distinctive and rare as the site itself. And we&rsquo;ve done that. We&rsquo;ve brought something stridently new to Burleigh Heads.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104773 project_image_fid=189485]

Spyre Group Director Andrew Malouf says every element of Glasshouse is an impossible feat.

&quot;As a development firm committed to continued excellence and evolution, Glasshouse Burleigh presented Spyre Group with the opportunity to leave a permanent mark on not only the street scape of Goodwin Terrace, but to forever change boutique property development in the South East,&quot; Malouf said.

&quot;For Spyre Group, Glasshouse is the culmination of tireless years spent dedicated to the importance of place. The position of this impossible project is intrinsic in what makes it one completely beyond compare.

&quot;Three glass homes positioned perfectly on a land parcel that holds the most acclaimed beachfront status in Queensland.&quot;

Glasshouse comprises three four-bedroom apartments, targeting the high-end owner-occupier or holiday maker who doesn&#39;t want the maintenance of a grand home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104773 project_image_fid=188873]

Spyre designed the apartments with that in mind, offering around 300&nbsp;sqm of indoor and outdoor living space for the first and second level apartments, with the sprawling penthouse offering over 970 sqm of internal and external living area.

Each apartment has been designed to orientate the living spaces to the east, capturing the never-to-be-built-out views across the ocean. The entertaining starts from the kitchen, where there&#39;s the most impressive island bench, crafted out of natural materials.

Every fixture and finish has been hand selected by a leading design team focussed on the delivery of the art piece that is Glasshouse. Leading partners such as Gessi Tapware, Porcelanosa tiles, Wolf Appliances, and custom handblown lights by SOKTAS culminate to deliver the residences.

Spyre Group Director Andrew Malouf says every element of Glasshouse is an impossible feat.

When luxury is redefined: What Spyre Group is producing at Glasshouse, Burleigh Heads apartments

The apartment redevelopment of the Hotel Komune Resort, at Coolangatta&#39;s Greenmount Beach, is set to begin.

Construction is slated for September at the already sold-out project by the Brisbane-based Spyre Group, who secured sales of all of the 30 apartments in just four weeks earlier this year.

It achieved an average sale price of $1.9 million, with prices rising as high as the penthouse which sold for $7.1 million.

It fell some way short of the area penthouse record, which is categorized in this market as south of Mermaid Beach, to not include the established high-rise developments in Surfers, Broadbeach&nbsp;and Main Beach.

David Calvisi&#39;s FORME Projects holds that mantle, securing a $9 million sale of the penthouse in his Koichi Takada-designed Norfolk at Burleigh Heads. The luxury development, which saw the bulk of its sales two years ago, well before the COVID-enduced boom in the area, also saw two further apartment sales at $8.5 million.

With the same team as Norfolk, and less than a kilometre away, FORME&nbsp;are set to launch 96 The Esplanade, with locals suggesting the penthouse could be priced around the $15 million mark.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=99968 project_image_fid=159159]

Paul Geddoun&#39;s S&amp;S Projects recently sold the two-level penthouse in Awaken at Rainbow Bay for $8.15 million.

Hutchinson Builders, Australia&#39;s largest privately owned construction company, will deliver Spyre&#39;s&nbsp;$57 million project, which will rise 12 storeys on its Marine Parade dress circle address. The old Hotel Komune building has been demolished.

It is expected the development will be completed in the first quarter of 2023.

&ldquo;We are thrilled to have Hutchinson&rsquo;s on board to deliver our latest Gold Coast project following the extraordinary sell-out,&rdquo; Spyre Group Director Andrew Malouf said.

&ldquo;Cala Dei will transform the pristine beachfront site from a boisterous hub into a serene collection of residences to accommodate a new generation of Coolangatta locals,&rdquo;&nbsp;Malouf added.

&ldquo;Given that the southern Gold Coast appeal is higher than ever, we are excited to start bringing this collection of ultra-desirable homes to life.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89840 project_image_fid=171556]

The Coolangatta market has gone from strength to strength over the last six months.

Miles Residences, by KTQ Group, smashed their sales targets when they launched their redevelopment of the Kirra Beach Hotel late last year.

The most recent development is The Emerson, developed by the Melbourne-based&nbsp;Hirsch &amp; Faigen, who are behind the Palm Beach apartment project Hemingway.

It achieved an average sale price of $1.9 million, with prices rising as high as the penthouse which sold for $7.1 million

Construction to start at Cala Dei, the redevelopment of Coolangatta's Hotel Kommune

The South East Queensland developer Spyre Group has lodged plans for their most boutique project yet on the Gold Coast.

Having spent around $11 million on 10 Goodwin Terrace, Burleigh Heads, earlier this year, the Andrew Malouf-led developer has filed for an exclusive collection of just three apartments on the near beachfront site.

Designed by bureau^proberts with landscaping from Cusp, 10 Goodwin is crowned by a two level penthouse with its own private rooftop pool.

&ldquo;10 Goodwin Terrace brings something new to the long-established coastal neighbourhood of Burleigh Heads,&rdquo; the design statement from bureau^proberts suggests.

<img alt="" height="814" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/spyre_4.jpg" width="1200" />

&ldquo;It resolves a form and envelope that achieves transparency where maximum exposure is required and shelter where refuge is called for. Demonstrating a deep understanding of the qualities of this site, the architecture creates an expression that honours a coastal landscape and reinforces a sense of belonging to its place.&rdquo;

There was a pre-lodgement meeting with the Gold Coast City Council where a six level development was discussed, however despite the height of adjoining towers, the council considered the building height to represent a departure from the medium density residential zone code and the strategic framework.

<img alt="" height="800" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/spyre_5.jpg" width="1200" />

Spyre&nbsp;went away and came back with just the three apartments, each with a density of one bedroom per 60 sqm.

Goodwin Terrace has been popular for boutique apartment developments. The local developer&nbsp;FORME, led by managing director David Calvisi, recently sold out Luna, at 50 Goodwin Terrace. Those apartments had a starting price of $4.1&nbsp;million.

FORME also sold out&nbsp;Norfolk, designed by Koichi Takada Architects, at 46 Goodwin.

<a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld?source_news_article_id=104762&amp;ref=news_body_link"><img alt="" height="797" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/gc_newest_tile_jpeg_20.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

Spyre have had success locally too, with their sold-out Natura development located around the corner on The Esplanade. More recently Spyre&nbsp;sold out their Coolangatta apartment development Cala Dei in just four weeks.&nbsp;

The&nbsp;collection of 31 two and three-bedroom residences sold for an average of $1.9 million, with 11 sales recording a purchase price over $2.5 million.

Design Statement

10 Goodwin Terrace, Burleigh Heads is an expression of the natural landscape - suspended between an ancient, rugged headland and endless, glassy ocean. Drawing parallels to the topography of Burleigh Headland, the building form steps in unison with the topography. The architectural envelope echoes the ephemeral quality of the ocean with a rippling surface of fluted glass enclosing eastern and western sides. Three whole-floor apartments frame the panorama of rolling sands and Coral Sea that stretches north from this place of unrivalled aspect and outlook.&nbsp;

While the architecture explores an expression that abstracts and champions an exhilarating coastal location, the development is committed to making an enduring contribution to the street and neighbourhood of Burleigh Heads. This will be achieved through carefully considered street and boundary interfaces and a commitment to an architectural and landscape expression that honours this place of natural beauty. For residents of the development, the architecture will create a sanctuary that amplifies the divine qualities of this location &ndash; drawing inside, the sound of waves, salt-laden breezes and tempered, sub-tropical sunlight.&nbsp;

The interior realm explores an experience that presents in trilogy. It is distinguished by open, invited, and private realms which draw distinctive parallels to the open expanse of the ocean, the intermediary shoreline, and the sanctuary found in the refuge of the landscape. This linear sequence, connecting living spaces overlooking the shoreline to private retreats nestled into the foothills of Burleigh Heads, captures the full spectrum of the building&rsquo;s distinctive, spatial experience.&nbsp;

<img alt="" height="729" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/spyre_2.jpg" width="1200" />

On the rooftop, the ambition to create a habitable, formed landscape is legible in the expression of cascading pools and terraces. Natural landscape is interwoven to create shade and ground the experience in this place of elevation. Smaller gardens take seed in the crevices of the fa&ccedil;ade where the fluted shell of the east and west fa&ccedil;ade merge to become solid panels encasing the southern edge.

Landscape is further sown into sculptural gardens framing the edges to balconies. Mature, native landscape is introduced at street level to create inviting spaces for the public realm.&nbsp;

Brisbane-based developer Spyre Group stunned the market with a sell-out of Cala Dei at Greenmount just four weeks after its online launch.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s definitely solidified our commitment to the Gold Coast, and due to the nature of Cala Dei&rsquo;s sell out we have proceeded to acquire a further two beachfront sites that we intend to launch in the second half of this year,&rdquo; said Spyre Group director Andrew Malouf.

&ldquo;The challenge always starts with securing the right site, and we&rsquo;ve been fortunate on the Gold Coast over the past few years targeting only the best beachfront sites in each area, especially with our latest acquisition at Coolangatta,&rdquo; he said.

&nbsp;&ldquo;The Gold Coast&rsquo;s natural environment may be what attracts people in the first place but creating luxury residences at this level provides a reason for many to stay.

&ldquo;The market is well supported by locals and increasingly by interstate buyers, and remarkably we see that trend continuing for some time.&rdquo;
