Construction is now underway at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/cumulus-grand-villas-carrara-17-baltimore-court-carrara-qld-4211">Cumulus Grand Villas</a> in Carrara, with all stages fully funded as <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/venturecrowd-property-projects">VentureCrowd</a> progresses its 59-residence gated community on an elevated ridgeline overlooking 100 hectares of natural savanna.

The commencement marks a key milestone for the Gold Coast project, designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a> and being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/devcon">Devcon Property Group</a>, at a time when buyers are placing greater emphasis on delivery certainty and builder track record.

With Devcon active in South East Queensland since 1993 and having delivered more than 1,000 homes, the team is positioning Cumulus as a fully financed, under-construction offering in a market where risk mitigation has become a central consideration for off-the-plan purchasers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360496]

Located at 17 Baltimore Court, Cumulus Grand Villas comprises 59 three- and four-bedroom villas across four collections, Skyline, Canopy, Savanna and Broadview. Pricing starts from $1,455,000, with completion of the first stage targeted for Q4 2026.

Across the four collections, each design represents an expansive and thoughtfully considered offering. The Broadview provides additional flexibility within its floorplan, incorporating a multipurpose room or optional additional bedroom, and is priced from $1,895,000.&nbsp;

Configured across two levels, the four-bedroom villas feature two master bedrooms with private ensuites, as well as a multipurpose room (MPR), supporting intergenerational living, guest accommodation, or the creation of a dedicated retreat space.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360497]

The main living areas are positioned on the ground floor, while the bedrooms are located upstairs, a configuration that promotes both family separation and connected living. All villas include a second master suite on the ground floor, reinforcing the project’s focus on flexibility and long-term adaptability.

That adaptability was central to BDA Architecture’s design approach. The team sought to create a sophisticated, low-maintenance product that makes the most of the site’s elevation and outlook while responding to evolving household needs. Expansive glazing, open-plan interiors and private outdoor areas draw in natural light and frame views towards the savanna, hinterland and Broadbeach skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360470]

VentureCrowd Director of Property David Whitting said the project responds to a growing group of buyers reassessing what premium living on the Gold Coast looks like.

Flexible floorplans have proven particularly relevant for purchasers aged between 40 and 65, including next home buyers, downsizers and investors. The inclusion of dual master suites in the Broadview design, along with options for a downstairs MPR or guest bedroom, allows homes to adapt as family dynamics shift, whether accommodating older parents, adult children, or extended stays.

Across the community, villas are specified with European appliances and premium fixtures and fittings, alongside double garages and landscaped private areas. The gated enclave includes number plate recognition entry, reinforcing a focus on security and exclusivity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360474]

Lifestyle amenity is anchored by the Infinity Terrace, an elevated communal space incorporating a 20m heated pool, alfresco zones and barbecue facilities, designed as a shared retreat within the neighbourhood. A two-acre private nature reserve with walking trails and rehabilitated bushland further integrates the development with its savanna-edge setting, reflecting a broader masterplan initiative to restore native vegetation and habitat corridors.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/carrara-qld-4211">Carrara</a>’s positioning continues to attract attention from prestige buyers seeking proximity to the coast without beachfront pricing. The suburb offers access to major retail centres including Pacific Fair and Robina Town Centre, is around 15 minutes from Broadbeach, and benefits from connectivity via the M1 to Brisbane and the Gold Coast Airport.

VentureCrowd’s Cumulus Grand Villas in Carrara advances with construction underway

Joint venture partners <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/perifa">PERIFA</a> are officially launching the third and final residential stage at their landmark $350 million harbourfront precinct, Putney Wharf, with The Residences representing the final opportunity to secure a new home within this rare waterfront destination.

Strong demand has already been established across the earlier stages of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-residences-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf</a>, with more than 50 per cent sold ahead of this final release. The Residences will introduce a selection of the precinct’s most premium apartments, many of which were deliberately reserved for this concluding stage.

Located at 20 Waterview Street, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/putney-nsw-2112">Putney</a> NSW, the completed precinct will comprise 67 residences, including 18 terraces and 49 apartments, alongside five retail tenancies and a 36-berth marina.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=1338]

Developed alongside partners Phoenix Property Investors and Mitsubishi Estate Asia, Putney Wharf occupies a prized 300-metre stretch of absolute waterfront and incorporates the historic former Halvorsen’s Boatshed. The precinct connects directly to surrounding parklands via a landscaped foreshore walkway and a large, landscaped podium linking both sides of the development to the adjoining foreshore parklands.

The Residences comprise two newly built, three-storey apartment buildings delivering a boutique collection of 30 generously proportioned waterfront apartments. Designed to capture harbour outlooks, natural light and cooling breezes, The Residences balance architectural refinement with relaxed, low-maintenance living.

Architecturally designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, the apartments continue the cohesive design language seen across the broader precinct. A refined palette of light and dark materials, softer-toned stone and neutral, earthy finishes reflect the surrounding landscape and harbour setting. Interiors feature painted timber veneers, tactile joinery, timber flooring to living spaces and 100 per cent natural wool carpets in bedrooms, creating warm and sophisticated homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362525]

Justin Brown, Executive Chairman and Founder of Abadeen, said the release of the final residential stage marks an important milestone for the project.

“Putney Wharf brings together everything we’ve learned over more than 25 years of development,” Mr Brown said. “It respects the site’s extraordinary maritime history while delivering contemporary homes that connect people directly to the harbour.

The Residences offer the rare combination of low-maintenance apartment living, waterfront outlooks with beautiful sunset views, and the convenience of retail and amenity at your doorstep. For boating enthusiasts, the opportunity to secure a private marina berth completes a truly unique Sydney harbourfront lifestyle.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=291197]

PERIFA Managing Director and Co-Founder Fabrizio Perilli added that the diversity of housing across the precinct has been central to the project’s success.

“Whether it’s the heritage Halvorsen’s apartments, the Waterview Terraces or now The Residences, Putney Wharf offers a range of homes that respond to different lifestyles, all united by an unrivalled harbourfront setting,” Perilli said. “This is a precinct that will add lasting value to the Putney community.”

Managing project marketing and sales, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/srm-residential">SRM Residential</a> Partner Tim Rees said the final release has already attracted strong demand reflecting the project’s unique harbourfront position and the success of earlier stages.

“Following the strong response to both the Halvorsen’s Boatshed residences and the Waterview Terraces, The Residences represent the final chance to secure a new home within this tightly held waterfront precinct,” Rees said. “Buyers are drawn to the rare combination of absolute harbour frontage, parkside living and genuine architectural quality.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362240]

Putney Wharf is a one-of-a-kind mixed-use destination, delivering an exclusive residential offering alongside waterfront dining, retail and a 36-berth marina designed to the latest Australian Standards, accommodating vessels up to 18 metres and helping address Sydney Harbour’s ongoing marina shortage.

The precinct will include five retail tenancies and a prominent waterfront jetty area fronting the retail village, creating an activated harbourfront destination for residents and visitors alike.

Residents will enjoy direct access to lush harbourfront parklands, a public foreshore walkway and landscaped podium gardens connecting the development to the surrounding waterfront reserve. Construction across the Putney Wharf precinct is expected to be completed by Q2 2027.

Sales of The Residences officially launch this weekend, with the display suite open Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 12pm at Putney Wharf. Visitors are invited to enjoy a complimentary coffee while touring The Residences and experiencing the Putney Wharf lifestyle firsthand.

Final Harbourfront release in Putney Wharf launches this weekend

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/draycon">Draycon Building</a> is nearing completion of Boutique Chevron Island, a 42-apartment development on the northern end of Chevron Island at 17–19 Parneno Street, with a limited-time offer of fully furnished apartments available.

Now more than 90 per cent complete, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/boutique-chevron-island-17-19-parneno-chevron-island-qld-4217">Boutique</a> has been shaped by one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held island addresses, where riverfront outlooks and walkable access to Surfers Paradise converge.

For Draycon Building Managing Director Howard Dabit, the appeal of the site was immediate.

“I knew it was a good site as soon as I saw it,” Dabit said.

“The position and location on the north end of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>, the way the river swirls around the site basically from the north to the east, it feels like the site is surrounded by the water. The height that we’ve got and the aspect looking north is beautiful. Eighty per cent of the apartments are looking north so they get that drenching sunlight coming in.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360922]

That northern orientation places the development within a stretch of Chevron Island defined by open river aspects and skyline views, while remaining embedded in the suburb’s established village setting.

Chevron Island has increasingly drawn owner-occupiers seeking centrality without the intensity of high-rise beachfront living. Positioned at the geographical centre of the Gold Coast, the island offers direct access to both the beach and key cultural infrastructure while retaining a neighbourhood-scale character.

Connected by bridge to Surfers Paradise, Chevron Island offers walkable access to beaches, riverfront parklands and a revitalised foreshore boulevard animated by walkers and cyclists throughout the day. The Pacific Ocean is only minutes away, reinforcing the suburb’s dual river-and-surf identity.

At the same time, Thomas Drive forms the spine of the island’s village life, delivering cafés, wine bars, casual dining and everyday services within easy reach. Independent grocers, wellness operators and neighbourhood retailers contribute to a community atmosphere that remains distinct from the vertical scale of the beachfront.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360915]

In the opposite direction, the Green Bridge links directly to HOTA – Home of the Arts – placing galleries, performance venues and parklands within walking distance. Weekly markets and major exhibitions draw visitors from across the region, while residents return to a quieter residential pocket at day’s end.

Public transport, including nearby bus routes and the G:link light rail corridor along the coastal spine, strengthens connectivity north and south. Griffith University, the Gold Coast University Hospital precinct and established private schools such as The Southport School are all within a short drive.

Ongoing investment across Surfers Paradise, HOTA and the broader Southport corridor has elevated amenity while preserving Chevron Island’s comparatively low-rise residential character. It is this balance, walkable village atmosphere paired with metropolitan-scale infrastructure, that continues to differentiate the suburb from higher-density beachfront precincts.

Boutique comprises just 42 residences, designed to maximise river and skyline outlooks within this tightly held island setting.

Boutique Chevron Island is slated for completion in April 2026, with prices starting from $1,220,000.

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> has secured planning approval for a $300 million residential development in Lindfield, marking the company’s second project on Sydney’s North Shore and its first on the Upper North Shore.

Located on Beaconsfield Parade and designed by DKO Architecture, the state significant development comprises three buildings of up to 10 storeys and will include 399 residences, including 59 affordable homes and 40 adaptable homes.

Residences will range in size from one, two and three bedrooms, with two-bedroom apartments accounting for over 60 per cent of the product make-up. Residents will have access to a broad suite of amenities, including a wellness area, indoor and outdoor recreational spaces, a pool, a gym, a community room and a golf simulator.

In line with Deicorp’s long-standing focus on creating transit-oriented communities, the project is located just 260 metres from the Lindfield Train Station, reinforcing its role in delivering well-connected housing close to established infrastructure, retail and local services.

The inclusion of affordable and adaptable housing supports greater diversity within the local market, while the mix of apartment types responds to demand from downsizers, young professionals and families seeking access to the Upper North Shore.

Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri OAM said the approval represents an important milestone for both the company and the suburb

“This approval allows us to deliver well-designed homes in a location that is already supported by strong transport and community infrastructure," Deiri said.

"Our focus is on creating places that integrate into their surroundings and provide long-term value for residents, and the broader Lindfield community. Being within walking distance of the station ensures this project supports sustainable growth in the right locations."

Across its portfolio, Deicorp currently has 4,703 apartments under construction, playing a leading role in shaping connected, liveable communities across Sydney.

Its expanding portfolio of Metro-linked developments includes Tallawong Village, <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> in Five Dock, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hyde-metropolitan-sydney-133-141-liverpool-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Hyde Metropolitan</a> in Sydney CBD, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/falcon-alexander-crows-nest-8-alexander-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Falcon &amp; Alexander</a> in Crows Nest and Showground Village, Castle Hill.

Deicorp purchased the Beaconsfield Paradise site last year. Construction is scheduled to commence in Q2 of 2026 and will be completed in 2029.

Windsor

Brisbane-based property developer Carbone Developments have just lodged plans for their next residential apartment project.&nbsp;

They're sticking to what they know in the inner northern Brisbane suburb of Windsor, where they've previously built a number of boutique apartment projects&nbsp;including the recently completed Talgai Windsor (Thondley Street), &nbsp;along with Casa Di Julia (Grantson Street) and City’s Edge (Gallway Street).

In late 2021 the Carbone Developments team, led by brother’s Don and Tony Carbone, secured a triple site at 34-42 Grantson Street, and are seeking to create 30 apartments&nbsp;across a six-level building dubbed <a href="/new-apartments/amado-windsor-38-grantson-street-windsor">Amado</a>.

The group have taken to Windsor once again mostly due to its proximity to the Brisbane CBD, as well as other key links, including the Royal Brisbane Hospital, public transport links, major infrastructure including the Inner-City Bypass, as well as Clem 7, the Airport Link and Legacy Tunnels.&nbsp;

<img alt="Artist impression of the Windsor development" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="241971a5-230c-4b81-a799-68ef28e25ca3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-03-13%20at%2010.35.03%20am.png?VersionId=PK8o03kFH1bRNTwT9O4tY5klo3BaXBFe" />

The development will incorporate the pre-1911 home on 34 Granston into the design, with the dwellings on the other two blocks set to be demolished.

Brisbane locals Red Door Architecture have handled the designs of the building, which draws inspiration from the creeks and sweeping landscape of the suburb, as well as the vernacular houses nearby.&nbsp;

Targeting the owner-occupier, there will be 16 two-bedroom units and 14 three-bedroom apartments, including two penthouses on offer, set behind a facade made up of natural stone, rendered masonry and powder-coated aluminium hoods and screens.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139074 project_image_fid=287525]

Responding to the orientation of the site, a majority of the apartments will take advantage of a northernly position, with the northern sun set to be combatted by privacy screens and landscaping, which will mitigate heating and cooling issues.&nbsp;

Each of the apartments will adjoin to expansive balconies, which wrap the entire building front, not only providing movement to the facade and streetscape, but also a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living.&nbsp;

Operable windows and doors will also be incorporated, to capture cooling breezes and facilitate cross flow ventilation throughout, with large sliding balcony doors further assisting the seamless transition between living areas. &nbsp;

<img alt="Ariel shot of the site.

Credit: Google Earth.&nbsp;

Crowning the building will be a communal rooftop terrace, with the area comprising outdoor dining space, a raised deck and pool and outdoor lounges, all of which will be embellished by green planters and trees, providing a tranquil and verdant place to unwind and take in city views.

Sustainability was also a key focus in the design, with an allowance for solar panels on the northern portion of the roof.

The subtropical design facilitates natural ventilation through large opening, while shading devices and balconies protect the apartments from heat gain while still maximising natural light in the interior spaces. Energy efficient LED light fittings will also be used to reduce energy consumption, in addition to high-performance glazing.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139074 project_image_fid=287533]

The integration of active and more environmentally friendly transport options have also been accounted for in the design, with 40 dedicated bike parking spaces set to be located on the ground floor of the site, for both residents and visitors.&nbsp;

Located less than five kilometres north of Brisbane's CBD, Grantson Street is a highly serviced location, with a number of nearby employment hubs, as well as shops and services being located along both Lutwyche Road and Newmarket Road to the west.

The site is also within walking distance to high-frequency bus stops along Lutwyche Road and around 500 metres from Windsor Train Station.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=139074]

In late 2021 the Carbone Developments secured a triple site at 34-42 Grantson Street, and are seeking to create 30 apartments across a six-level building.

Construction has begun on the latest residential development in the heart of Windsor.

Developed in a joint venture by Sinclair Brook and Wilbow Group, Windsor Park will comprise 32 apartments across three levels upon completion, with the architecture handled by Richmond-based firm Jackson Clements Burrows.

Burtons Estate Agents are in charge of selling the large three and four-bedroom apartments, with prices starting from $1.7 million and ranging through to $4.8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110261 project_image_fid=198563]

Eckersley Garden Architecture designed the landscaping to create a rare park-side island site fronting Chris Gahan Reserve, offering views to both the park and the city skyline.

Expansive courtyards and terraces are complemented with a Japanese inspired central courtyard garden providing residents with an escape from their busy lives into nature's embrace.&nbsp;

The architects at Jackson Clements Burrows designed the interiors of each apartment, creating an almost hotel-like experience in each.

Residents will enjoy luxury living within their own homes thanks to Swiss-made V-ZUG appliances featured in each kitchen, along with sculptural solid stone bench tops, chamfered stone edging and smooth timber veneer cabinetry.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110261 project_image_fid=198576]

Asymmetrical stone and timber vanities will feature in the bathrooms, while natural stone floors and feature mosaic wall tiles are included in the shower zones.

Residents will also be within walking distance to Chapel Street and Windsor Train Station, with the inner-city locale providing convenient access to a number of amenities, including restaurants, shops, cafes and transport links.&nbsp;

Construction is slated for completion by early 2024.&nbsp;

CV Windsor is the latest residential project to join the ranks, dipping into the potentials of the pocket of suburbia. 


Around the ready to move in apartments, CV Windsor 

The small and funky suburb of Windsor has soared in popularity recently.

The area has started to make a name for itself with a growing number of independent restaurants, bars, lounges and retailers calling the suburb home, along with prospective buyers looking for property well-connected and close by to the CBD.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3575 project_image_fid=201754]

Located just 5-kilometres southeast of Melbourne&rsquo;s city centre, the inner-city pocket has a local feel in its grid of streets and as Stonnington&rsquo;s smallest suburb, with a population of just over 7,000, there is a high rental demand for any property investors.&nbsp;

CV Windsor offers a completed and ready to move in option for the area, comprising a mix of one, two, three and&nbsp;four-bedroom apartments.

Landing on the bustling Punt Road, CV Windsor is just minutes from the city centre, nestled between the historic suburbs of South Yarra, Prahran and St Kilda.

Just steps from the building, residents will find easy access to Prahran Railway Station or tram number 6 on the nearby High Street, along with being just a short walk to all the tram options on St Kilda Rd.

While the well-connected site sits among traffic-heavy areas, CV Windsor has been designed as a sanctuary amongst the hustle and bustle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3575 project_image_fid=201751]

Designed by Carlton-based, deciBel Architecture, CV Windsor&rsquo;s built form comprises a concrete structure, which helps reduce the impact of sound, with complex geometry driving its design.

Delivering a collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, along with a select number of luxury penthouses, each of the residences adjoin to a terrace which has been designed to improve the privacy for the owners, whilst also maximising the views from each.

Residences feature free flowing open&nbsp;plan areas, complimented with secluded working and living zones to allow both&nbsp;joint experiences&nbsp;and individual comfort.

Chevron European Oak engineered flooring lays underfoot in each apartment, while a choice between timber and wool carpet flooring can be selected in the bedrooms.

Kitchen and bathroom benchtops come in a choice of natural or reconstituted stone, complete with terrazzo tiling, as well as a suite of Miele appliances as standard, including the cooktop, oven and dishwasher, Liebherr fridge/freezer.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3575 project_image_fid=201758]

With a calm colour palette and warm timber-lined terraces, CV Windsor will also be constructed with environmental sustainability a high-priority.

Apartments feature dual aspects, allowing access to both northern and southern light, as well as increased crossflow ventilation throughout.

Renowned artist, Kim Westcot has further marked CV Windsor apart from the rest, developing the Punt Road fa&ccedil;ade into an art piece.

deciBel say that through the use of Westcot&rsquo;s printmaking background to reimagine Australian landscapes and the flora and fauna they hold; she has created a facade that exudes experience and growth of a building connected to nature and community.

&ldquo;The client has particular aspiration for providing an owner occupy concept in this intensely competitive market, where dollar per sqm seems the only concern in strategic composition. They plan to not just form a building but create a community that makes a difference.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3575 project_image_fid=201747]

Within the project there are a number of expansive communal spaces, across the ground floor as well as the rooftop level, which deciBel say have been provided to establish and enable creative living interactions between residents and to foster a sense of community.

Across the ground plane are lounge areas, along with spacious kitchen and dining areas.

Level eight will home the shared resident&rsquo;s garden, which will allow residents to grow their own produce and herbs, accompanied by&nbsp;barbecue facilities as well as a spa.

Crowning CV Windsor is the rooftop garden which is set to allow the community to grow vertically into a shared space that benefits from sweeping city views surrounded by lush gardens, as well as private dining spaces, communal cooking areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3575 project_image_fid=201749]

Fairfield House, the 1833 Georgian mansion built by the pioneer William Cox at Windsor, is on the market for the first time in nearly three decades.
It has been listed by karate champion turned professional poker player Joe Meissner.
He was last in the news in 2009 with his Western Sydney A-League proposal.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-windsor-128664230" target="_blank">Fairfield House</a> in its heyday sported a cricket oval with a pavilion and a racetrack.
A test match between a Hawkesbury 11 and an all-England Eleven was played on the oval. 
There's direct access to the 18 hole Championship Golf Course next door.
Offers are due August 1 with ReMax Parramatta agents Morris and Melissa Short.
It is advertised as a "yearning for yesteryear which can be found in this unique Hawkesbury property that simply cries out for a commercial operator to step in refurbish, restore and re-purpose a truly magnificent piece of Sydney history".
The property located at 21 Fairfield Avenue could suit a commercial operator looking to open a boutique hotel, day spa, convention centre, aged care facility or wedding reception venue.
Zoned R2 &amp; RE2, the site allows for multiple uses.
Upon entering through the large cedar door with acid-etched, monogrammed glass, the home comes with tiled corridor which opens into the reception room with its own elevated central skylight.
It was here that Henry McQuade, manager of Her Majesty's Theatre in Sydney, entertained his theatrical celebrities in 1866.   Australian cedar runs in window frames, architraves and skirting boards. 
A fireplace of white Italian Carerra marble (pictured below) is a central feature.

A host of planned ‘new arrival’ developments in Chapel Street will help to revive the retail strip, according to Director of Beller Commercial, Fred Nucara.

Every year, Beller Commercial conducts retail strip research: a manual foot walk and count of shop vacancies. From this unique research, Beller has a clear view on the changing fortunes of Melbourne’s various “high streets”.

Chapel Street is divided into three precincts: South Yarra, Prahran and Windsor. Whilst Windsor is now a pumping food and hospitality destination, Prahran and South Yarra sadly present a different story with a record number of vacancies, 17 in South Yarra and 24 in Prahran.

Fred took time out of his schedule to have a chat with me via phone as we discussed some of the factors that are currently impacting the strip now and into the future. 

<blockquote>
Chapel Street is at the bottom of a bell curve at the moment. These major developments within the precinct are detracting from the usual vibrancy, because of the inconvenience, noise and distraction of the construction.

On a positive note, these major infrastructure investments are scheduled for completion in 2019 and 2020.

Rugby union brothers Anthony and Saia Fainga'a have offloaded a Brisbane land parcel.
The near 700 square metre Windsor block on Wilston Hill with views to the city fetched $1.58 million.
The brothers bought the property for $1,031,000 and <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-qld-windsor-111865231" target="_blank">demolished the old two bedroom home</a> (above) to create the level block.
Ray White New Farm agent Meaghan Bakker sold the land which came with architect designed plans for two three level homes. It was sold to a local builder.
It's the second piece of Brisbane real estate the brothers have sold in the last year.
The pair built then sold a five bedroom Seven Hills home for $1.17 million mid-last year, having paid $432,500 for the 415 square metre block in 2014.
Saia, who is playing for UK-based club London Irish, says he want to focus on property full-time when his career ends.
Anthony is turning out for Brumbies in Canberra where the brothers are investing in the development of 19 townhouses.

A nine hole golf course has been listed at Windsor overlooking the Hawkesbury River.
The <a href="https://www.rumcorpsgolfcourse.com.au/" target="_blank">Rum Corp Barracks golf course</a> has a $3.99 million asking price through estate agent Stephen Lord.
It has bbq facilities and seating for up to 70 people, overlooking the course that sits on 20 hectares.
There's a pro shop, machinery shed and staff lunch shed. The sale includes 23 Yamaha drive carts.
All very basic, but Lord says he has been surprised at the interest shown already from Chinese buyers.
It is in a flood zone which would impact its development capacity.

Windsor golf course listed for $3.99 million

Melbourne's Windsor has been ranked as Australia's fastest growing median house growth suburb in 2016.
CoreLogic advised the median had jumped 47 percent annually.
It arose from 66 sales.
Windsor's median now sits at $1,284,000. <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-vic-prahran-123095574" target="_blank">An Edwardian semi</a> (above) that fetched $1.25 million in August closely reflected the median.
It had sold at $835,000 three years earlier, so reflected a more subdued 14 percent annual growth since 2013.
The 1910 semi had 90 sq m internal space on its 159 sqm block.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-vic-prahran-121992278" target="_blank">Another semi at the end of the row</a> (below) had sold a few months earlier at $1.23 million, having previously traded in 2004 at $480,000, reflecting eight percent annualised price growth.

The house sales at Windsor during 2016 have ranged from $807,000 to $4.85 million.
The $807,000 sale was a two bedroom contemporary townhouse at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-townhouse-vic-prahran-121700410" target="_blank">1 Newry Lane</a> which sold through Jellis Craig in February.
The highest sale was when an 1860's solid brick hotel, converted into a family home, fetched $4.85 million at auction, almost $600,000 over reserve.
Bidding opened at $3.6 million with six bidders.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-prahran-121955482" target="_blank">Previously the Red Lion Hotel</a>, (above) 39 Duke Street has tall ceilings and rich period features in its warehouse style contemporary living space.
<img src="/images/2016/12/18/39%20Duke%20Street.jpg" alt="">
The property has five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a leafy atrium with indoor garden.
The most spectacular feature of the property is the 250 sqm secluded rooftop garden which has a large gas heated pool, sauna and orchard with views of the city skyline.
Having began life as the Red Lion Hotel during the 1860s gold rush, the pub closed in the 1920's and was used as a shirt-making factory and an ironmonger's workshop before being converted into the stylish warehouse-style home by Angela Sach.
The property has been in the same family for around 60 years.
RT Edgar's expectation was for the property to fetch $3.5 million at its March 19 auction.
It subsequently emerged that the buyers were comedian Gina Riley and her husband, TV producer Rick McKenna.
Riley broke onto TV screen as a performer in the sketch shows Fast Forward, sending-up singers including Paula Abdul, Bette Midler, Sinèad O'Connor and Dannii Minogue.
One of the reasons why the Windsor median jumped so much statistically was that the $4.85 million was $1.35 million above the next dearest which was $3.5 million for an 1880s freestanding house sold off-market at 51 The Avenue.
