<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/aura-by-aqualand-north-sydney-168-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">AURA</a>&nbsp;doesn’t just rise over North Sydney, it redefines it. Now in its final release, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/aqualand-australia">Aqualand</a>’s $1 billion architectural statement is not just complete, but already reshaping the way people live, connect and dine in this rapidly evolving harbourside CBD.

Positioned beside the new Victoria Cross Metro Station and boasting panoramic views across Sydney Harbour, Aura’s 386 residences crown a mixed-use precinct designed with unapologetic ambition. The curvaceous sandstone-inspired form by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>, paired with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/richards-stanisich">Richard Stanisich</a>’s understated interiors, sets a design tone that’s both monumental and intimate.

At its peak, literally, the two penthouses so spectacular they command their own names; La Davina and Il Magnate. The residents are spread across the&nbsp;entire top floor, offering what many consider the most refined residences ever built in North Sydney. Designed by Richard and Kirsten Stanisich, each four-bedroom home is meticulously crafted to evoke calm, space, and permanence.&nbsp;

The kitchens are fully wrapped in natural stone, with integrated Gaggenau appliances, Sub-Zero fridges, concealed sculleries, and even a zip hydro tap delivering boiling, chilled and sparkling water on demand. A linear stone fireplace anchors the open-plan living space, dividing lounge and dining zones with quiet sophistication.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=292861]

The master suite, meanwhile, feels more like a private retreat, complete with a custom stone makeup vanity, walk-through dressing area, and spa-inspired ensuite with heated stone floors, a freestanding Villeroy &amp; Boch tub, and timber veneer joinery throughout.

Kirsten Stanisich, Director of Richards Stanisich, said the penthouses offer incredible scale reflective of a single residence.&nbsp;

“We sought inspiration for these remarkable residences from the classic top-floor Parisian apartment," Stanisich said.

"We looked at what made these French apartments so elegant and found it really came down to their scale. It was ultimately this generosity of space that we used for the AURA penthouses, where we’ve designed considered rooms with deep large-scale proportions."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=310337]

Everyday living at Aura feels no less elevated. A dedicated 24-hour concierge, Technogym fitness centre, sky dining terraces, and a resort-style pool serve a lifestyle designed to rival luxury hotels.

At street level, Aqualand’s own hospitality arm, Etymon Projects, curates a precinct of LA-style bistros, Japanese fine dining, and local wine bars, all seamlessly integrated into the building’s sculptural podium.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=310337]

This final chapter, aptly dubbed The Finale, is more than a sales phase, it’s an invitation to two of the most exclusive apartments ever to be built in North Sydney.

With limited residences remaining, buyers can access curated incentives including stamp duty rebates, rental guarantees, legal fee coverage, and even $20,000 towards dining within the precinct.

From generous one-bedders to The Icons, two singular penthouses priced well into prestige territory, Aura’s offerings reflect a scale and calibre rarely seen in urban Sydney. And with move-in now immediate, this is no longer a promise of future luxury. It’s happening.

Aqualand unveils penthouse collection at AURA By Aqualand in North Sydney

There’s no sign of the development wave that began several years ago slowing along Old Burleigh Road.

Around 10 new apartment developments are either underway or preparing to launch along the 800-metre strip stretching from the southern edge of Surfers Paradise towards the heart of Broadbeach, collectively adding just shy of 1,000 new apartments to the beachfront corridor.

The latest plans propose a further 30 apartments to replace an original six-unit walk-up on a 658 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/20a-old-burleigh-road-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">20A Old Burleigh Road</a>. The 14-storey building has been designed by Ferro Chow Architecture, which recently joined the Elevation Architecture Group.

The developer behind the project is Geoffrey Booth, whose Future Liv In has focused on delivering rental accommodation across regional Australia.

<img alt="Old Burleigh Road" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="99d393e7-d404-43bc-80cb-6255c39b83d6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-01-05%20at%2012.28.44%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ZFT8F3mOny4M4ut.kFF3woC9WH9oR5gT" />

The Old Burleigh Road development will comprise 18 two-bedroom apartments, 10 three-bedroom apartments, and a single four-bedroom residence occupying the entirety of level 12. Above, the building will be crowned by a two-storey penthouse with its own private lift, several multi-purpose rooms, and two rooftop terraces — one featuring a puppy lawn and spa, the other offering a private swimming pool, sunset deck, and built-in barbecue.

Resident amenities will be located on the second level and include a pool with adjoining spa, cabana, and pool deck, along with an indoor residents’ lounge featuring a bar and an alfresco barbecue kitchen.

In the architectural statement submitted by Elevation Architecture, the project is referred to as “UMI”, which the firm says has been “inspired by the majestic hinterlands and shaped by the coastal climate”.

“It is an exemplar of how community living can still feel at one with nature, breathable, and deeply connected in place,” the architects noted.

They added that the site benefits from established building separation to adjoining towers, helping to maintain privacy, sunlight, and residential amenity, while still offering direct beach access within an urban setting.

“Drawing inspiration from the Gold Coast hinterlands and the region’s natural landscape, the podium and tower detail highlights the contrasting elements of treetop green and cliff-face peach. The vibrant texture and materiality shaped by time has a richness in depth and character.”

Old Burleigh Road has become a hotspot for developers, with the three-tower Jewel development kickstarting a wave of projects up and down the strip when it was completed in 2020.

Currently under construction and approaching completion is <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/faro-broadbeach-123-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">FARO Broadbeach</a> by 5Point and Bottega, 21 large-scale half- and full-floor apartments. 5Point is also behind the recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lumara-108-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">Lumara</a>, another 37 apartments to add to the pipeline.

Luxury builder GRAYA is progressing construction on <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/enclave-by-graya-118-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">Enclave</a>, its first Gold Coast tower, while Polycell remains the most active developer on the street. They are preparing to launch <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sandpiper-broadbeach-155-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">Sandpiper</a>, a 50-storey redevelopment of the former Sandpiper Holiday Resort that will deliver around 200 apartments alongside extensive resident amenity. The group also has another 130-apartment project approved nearby, as does <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/dvb-approved-for-second-broadbeach-apartment-development">Dean Gallagher’s DVB Projects</a>.

First look: Old Burleigh Road apartment development wave continues

Sunshine Coast developer Habitat Development Group continues to position itself as one of the region’s largest new apartment developers.

Its latest project is in Maroochydore, where it is currently delivering <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-millwell-2-millwell-road-east-maroochydore-qld-4558">The Millwell</a>. Adjacent to the new 53-hectare Maroochydore City Centre project, Habitat is planning a further 180 apartments on a 3,468 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/132-136-aerodrome-road-maroochydore-qld-4558">132–136 Aerodrome Road</a>. The site was purchased with approval for a smaller 13-storey, 103-unit building.

Habitat will demolish the two existing retail centres, currently home to the Salvation Army Family Store and Neighbours Aid, and replace them with an 18-storey building featuring the significant rooftop amenities that have become a hallmark of Habitat developments in recent years. The rooftop will include both indoor and outdoor spaces, anchored by an infinity swimming pool.

<img alt="Maroochydore" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ad434d07-666b-4614-b33e-530ad6a2d261" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-01-05%20at%2010.12.33%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7pyLsPWKQuwv0us3_v.9DmbzEc2VZe9Z" />

There will be a mix of one- to four-bedroom apartments.

The Development Assessment Report, submitted to the Sunshine Coast Council, says the proposal&nbsp;is not speculative, but a response to both zoning intent and demonstrated housing need.

“The proposed development represents an appropriate and logical intensification of the site, consistent with the planning framework and the intended urban outcomes for the locality.”

Across the Sunshine Coast, councils are increasingly scrutinising not just height or yield, but whether new projects genuinely align with the long-term structure plans underpinning growth corridors. The&nbsp;ASTP Planning Report&nbsp;reinforces the approach, noting that the project has been shaped around site responsiveness rather than generic typology.

“The development has been designed to respond to the physical constraints and opportunities of the site, while delivering a high-quality residential outcome that integrates with the existing and emerging urban context.”

<img alt="Habitat" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3a03fc54-4ca5-4868-88d0-eeced70604e2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-01-05%20at%2010.12.28%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=1pkK3lJrrZjkghTLBReM2zatcas4Nc4B" />

In mid-2025, Habitat, a developer that also builds its own projects, commenced construction on The Millwell, located just over one kilometre from the new proposal. The Millwell will comprise more than 200 apartments across two eight-storey buildings.

Habitat also has two projects on Lake Kawana in Birtinya: <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/st-clair-birtinya-930-931-waterside-retreat-birtinya-qld-4575">St Clair</a>, a 200-unit, two-building development launched last year and set to welcome buyers this year; and Esperance, a 175-apartment project currently progressing through the development approval process.

John Camilleri, the breeder of legendary racehorse Winx, is set to deliver a landmark two-tower beachfront development that would redefine the Surfers Paradise skyline.

Camilleri, who spent around $100 million acquiring development sites across the Gold Coast in 2025, has lodged plans for two new towers on the dress-circle stretch of Garfield Terrace, just two days before Christmas.

In assembling the site, Camilleri's Celestino Developments has effectively acquired the 71 Garfield project by Iris Capital and AALTO by Weiya Holdings, creating an unrivalled <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/63-79-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">4,000 sqm beachfront holding along Garfield Terrace</a>.

The proposal comprises two residential towers of 55 and 48 storeys, linked by a dramatic skybridge which will home “exclusive VIP and wellness amenities.”

In total, the development would deliver 275 two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments across the two towers, rising above a shared landscaped podium that incorporates a central green space and a beachfront swimming pool stretching more than 90 metres.

<img alt="DBI" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="097900f3-6bef-4919-b168-b08f2f762876" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.37.58%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=et0SpmcvaPPVrexI_zWi46BVFtZBxAzx" />

Architecture firm DBI, in documents submitted to Gold Coast City Council, said the project at 63–79 Garfield Terrace would “establish a new benchmark for beachfront residential living on the Gold Coast.”

"The project occupies a rare, uninterrupted oceanfront site and has been shaped by a design philosophy that merges architectural elegance with environmental responsiveness and a carefully curated lifestyle experience. Together, the 48-storey North Tower and 55-storey South Tower form a distinctive twin-tower composition whose dynamic silhouette will make a significant contribution to the Surfers Paradise skyline."

DBI said the architectural language draws inspiration from the fluidity and movement of the coastal landscape.

"Each tower is defined by organic, curving forms and continuous balcony ribbons that wrap the buildings, providing deep shading, enhancing environmental performance, and reinforcing the rhythmic, sculptural expression of the façade. These balcony forms also reduce the apparent mass of the towers while maintaining strong visual continuity from podium to summit. Sculpted reflective downturns run along the western spine of both towers, shifting and lifting as they extend upwards to frame service zones and open eastward to maximise ocean views."

<img alt="Garfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a2a00ce3-a0e9-45d6-b4b5-b7baed592ac5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.53.40%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=DnruWV1dhLrtXOeElwekyd7vPq2gw55t" />

The project’s most striking feature is the skybridge at level 45, which will house executive lounges, formal dining spaces, wellness facilities and panoramic ocean-facing views.

“The skybridge enhances the identity of the development, promotes social interaction, and delivers a lifestyle experience not found elsewhere on the Gold Coast,” DBI added.

The podium will host an extensive suite of recreational amenities, including resident lounges, private dining rooms, a large open green lawn, and the signature 90-metre pool stretching along the beachfront. The pool is divided into lap, lounge and children’s zones.

The southern end of the podium will accommodate additional wellness facilities, including a gymnasium, plunge pools, treatment rooms and a dedicated yoga lawn.

<img alt="Garfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ee1b4f25-231f-4804-83b1-a573a1481962" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.55.47%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=zObzIA3D5w7EwqPsHjr2pKrA4vbB28zL" />

There will be 127 apartments in the North Tower and 148 in the South Tower, including multiple penthouses, while the Enderley Avenue and Oceanway frontages will be activated by a series of food and beverage tenancies.

Camilleri emerged as the most active site acquirer on the Gold Coast in 2025. He spent just over $30 million acquiring Pacific Point, a 10-level Surfers Paradise apartment block and an adjoining three-level duplex, from fellow racing identity and Aquis billionaire Tony Fung. Plans are now underway for a 93-apartment, 40-storey tower on the 1,682 sqm site.

He also paid $53.65 million for the 1,500 sqm Garfield Terrace site previously marketed as AALTO by Weiya Holdings, before acquiring the adjoining parcel from hotel billionaire Sam Arnaout’s Iris Capital, the developer behind V&amp;A Broadbeach.

The Melbourne-based HLA Group is the latest developer to expand into South East Queensland, lodging plans for a unique mixed-use short-term accomodation and apartment building in Taringa, with the building design inspired by the Glasswing Butterfly.

The development application for 10 Morrow Street seeks approval for a total of 232 dwellings, comprising 116 residential apartments and 116 short-stay accommodation units. The build-to-sell residential component is made up of 31 one-bedroom apartments, 67 two-bedroom apartments, 17 three-bedroom apartments, and a single four-bedroom apartment, offering a diverse mix aimed at singles, couples, families, and downsizers.

<img alt="Taringa" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="33913cd4-9839-4456-b325-d35b3f8b4694" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.40.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=sLvc7jUrYzDwqPDZBPrXTosKHDSp.qrt" />

Designed by Ellivo Architects, the tower takes strong inspiration from nature, with the architectural language driven by one of Queensland’s most delicate species. As described in the planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council, Ellivo Architects state the design is “inspired by the elegance of the Glasswing butterfly," and mirrors the graceful sweep of its wings, a form that feels light, fluid, and alive.

“Lush subtropical greenery is throughtfull woven throughout, transforming the building into a sanctuary in the heart of the city.”

The proposal positions the building as more than a conventional residential tower, with Ellivo Architects describing 10 Morrow Street as “an urban oasis that blends short term accomodation with residential living. A destination for rest, relaxation, and renewal.”

<img alt="Taringa" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="84e9a0ff-464e-4973-bffe-5d5a8fe9f087" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.40.32%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dhX9eVgUaQE2TvCzJPhF8N8_hzYSKpyK" />

Formally, the building’s massing and floorplate are directly shaped by its butterfly inspiration. Ellivo explain that, “adopting the wings of the Glasswing Butterfly, the tower's plan is divided into four distinct quadrants, each shaped to mirror the wing's segmented geometry and taking the slender ‘veins’ up the facade of the tower.”

"This approach results in a sculpted tower form with articulated façades and a strong vertical expression."

<img alt="Taringa" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5947011d-ff6c-4a57-bdc1-9072a472a79c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.40.29%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=nnGqd4WCZM8AOJZY.c3u49BO4LurKRhb" />

The Assessment Report by Human Habitats said the 19-storey tower capitalises on its strategic connectivity and prominence at the entrance of Taringa Village and adjoining the Taringa Station.

"The proposal offers a significant revitalisation of the subject site that integrates architectural excellence, innovation, and sustainable design to directly address long-standing connectivity and safety challenges, housing supply , and diversity together with enhanced streetscape activation and convenient access to major transport corridors."

HLA Group Australia is registered to South Yarra and is currently delivering Adamson No.5, just 15 luxury apartments that start from around $2 million.&nbsp;

The Butterfly Effect: Glasswing butterfly inspires Taringa apartment development

Yarra's Edge

ASX-listed developer Mirvac have consciously taken luxury up a level at their latest Yarra's Edge apartment tower, Trielle.

Trielle's prime location along the north-facing bank of the Yarra River is truly unrepeatable. Just 12.5 metres from the water's edge, it provides views of the city skyline, the Yarra River and Port Phillip Bay. The proximity to bustling Collins Street and the emerging Fishermans Bend precinct ensures residents will enjoy the best of both worlds – urban convenience and tranquil riverside living.

The soaring 45 level tower opposite Point Park, offers some of the largest apartments in the $1.2 billion Yarra's Edge masterplan, which Mirvac began developing in 1994.&nbsp;

Michael Wiener, Mirvac Design Director said “There is a beautiful story behind Trielle, being the jewel in the Yarra’s Edge crown and this beauty is subtly embedded in the design, detailing and materiality of the Sub-Penthouse Collection.

“With breathtaking north-facing views across the river – Trielle sits in the dress circle of Melbourne’s waterfront. Marina YE, Fishermans Bend, Port Phillip Bay – this is Melbourne’s future, and Trielle is a central figure," Wiener said.&nbsp;

One of the most prestigious offerings in the development is the Sub-Penthouse Collection. Buyers have the option to be positioned sky high within the tower or closer to the water in&nbsp;the podium, benefitting from a north or north-east facing orientation, each adjoining to spacious balconies that span from 26 sqm to 59 sqm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=211506]

Victor Wong, Senior Associate, Mirvac Design said “The Sub-Penthouse Collection has been oriented to maximise Trielle’s northern aspect and proximity to the Yarra River, as well as the view down Collins Street to the city.

"Designed to create different zones, the oversized sub-penthouses allow for both privacy and connection with friends or family."

"These residences will be a regenerative place to live, comprising a series of interconnecting flowing spaces giving residents the ultimate flexibility to craft their own living masterpiece," Wong said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=211518]

Offering three bedrooms with the option of a fourth or a media room in the tower and three bedroom dual-level floorplans in the podium, these residences redefine spaciousness and elegance. Hotel-like in their quality, every feature and finish is a subtle tribute to the Yarra River, which serves as both muse and backdrop for Trielle's opulent lifestyle.

"The extensive use of bespoke joinery, premium natural stone and sparkling surfaces continue the narrative from external architecture to interior architecture.&nbsp;Reflecting the natural beauty of this precious diamond, the materials add a natural warmth, elegance, and sophistication to the Trielle living experience.” Wiener said.

The kitchens in the sub-penthouses are a visual and practical masterpiece, featuring faceted stone island benches adorned with soft LED lighting, and premium appliances including Bora, Gaggenau and Wolf.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=211512]

The scullery is equipped with premium appliances including a steam oven, speed oven, warming drawer, Gaggenau coffee machine and a dishwasher.

Generous ceiling heights and floor-to-ceiling windows amplify the feeling of grandeur and space, while chevron timber floors add warmth and sophistication to the living spaces. The sub-penthouses also include a built-in TV unit and bar, complete with Sub-Zero wine fridge.

The master retreats are nothing short of palatial. The ensuite bathrooms exude the opulence of a world-class luxury hotel, with fluted shower screens, heated towel rails, and a freestanding jewel-like bath and basins custom designed by Apaiser. Exquisite timber veneer joinery in the walk-in robes and dressing room add to the sense of luxury and offer the perfect showcase for your finest clothes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=223268]

Trielle offers two distinct colour schemes, "Luminosa" with its light, contemporary hues inspired by the river’s play of light, and "Inchiostro", favouring dramatic, seductive shades reminiscent of the night sky. The choices allow residents to personalise their living spaces to match their unique styles.

Sub-penthouse residents will also benefit from a range of amenities within Trielle, designed to offer a new standard for living well.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=211525]

The Oasis, on Level 7 is a lush oasis of tranquillity featuring approximately 1,700 sqm of verdant landscaped urban rainforest with a trickling stream, a 25-metre pool and spa, a day spa treatment room, hot magnesium pool, cold-pail contrast treatment, Yoga and Pilates studio and a biophilic gym.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=211523]

The ground floor level of Trielle is the home of The Biblioteca – a library with business-class work pods, as well as the Mills Place dedicated offices for maximising productivity; The Saletta resident lounge; and The Salone riverfront piano lounge – designed to rival Melbourne’s best loved jazz clubs and bars.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=211503]

Further resident amenity includes a golf simulator studio, cinema room, games room with Teppanyaki outdoor dining and a concierge service.

Trielle also embraces sustainability with its fully electric building and EV charging stations, ensuring that residents can live comfortably while contributing to a greener future.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=212015]

Trielle by Mirvac Sub-Penthouse Collection: Melbourne’s new pinnacle of luxury

Mirvac has been developing residential property across Australia for over five decades.

A huge focus in the last decade has been sustainability, which they've championed through their This Changes Everything initiative, while most recently the ASX-listed developer has diversified their portfolio by developing in the build to rent sector.

A key area of focus for Mirvac in recent years is how the end user will not only enjoy their apartment, but how much the development can cater for a resident's lifestyle.

Their latest apartment tower, Trielle at Yarra's Edge, the most highly coveted and exclusive residential tower in Mirvac's $1.2 billion masterplan on the Docklands waterfront, is arguably Mirvac's most facility-fuelled project to date.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=212014]

Residents technically wouldn't have to leave the tower, with extensive facilities for both work and play.

There's are two spaces dedicated to working from home, The Biblioteca and The Mills Place Work From Home Pods. The Biblioteca, a library designed for peaceful reading and quiet work, occupies a quiet corner of Trielle overlooking the Promenade Grove.

The Mills Place Work From Home Pods are located on the ground floor and cater for further work, with dedicated office spaces and work pods, both available to book for either a few hours or a full day.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=211500]

That's the 9-5 covered, and there's even more amenity for outside of work hours, or even a lunchtime given they can be just a lift away from the office.

Arguably the most impressive inclusion on Trielle's long amenity list is The Oasis Wellness Club, a verdant urban rainforest with a trickling stream located seven stories above the Yarra's Edge promenade.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=211523]

Designed in collaboration with renowned luxury spa expert Naomi Gregory, The Oasis offers a blissful, Scandinavian-inspired wellness club.

Residents can regularly indulge in rejuvenating treatments such as facials, massages, and hydrotherapy, providing a tranquil and resort-like atmosphere.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=216205]

Part of The Oasis is a biophilic gym, complete with state-of-the-art equipment, a yoga and pilates room, and a sauna.

Trielle also caters for post-work vibes. One of the most indulgent areas for this is&nbsp;The Salone Piano Bar.

The intimate space, with richly textured interiors and a north-facing riverfront view, sits just 14 metres from the river's edge and invites residents to unwind while listening to the sounds of a self-playing piano.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=212015]

Adjacent to the Piano Lounge is the Chef's Table dining room, which sets the stage for elegant dinner parties.

It features a striking natural stone table and an impressive wine fridge. Residents can book the space through the dedicated concierge service.

A theatre room, golf simulator, a sunken fire pit area, and even a dedicated dog wash bay, complete the amenity.

Residents technically wouldn't have to leave the tower, with extensive facilities for both work and play.

How Mirvac is championing resident amenity at Trielle apartments in Melbourne's Yarra's Edge precinct

Mirvac has officially launched Trielle, it's last residential tower in their $1.4 billion Yarra's Edge masterplan precinct on the Docklands waterfront.

A hundred gathered on a sunny day at the Trielle Display Galleria at 16 Point Park Crescent, where prospective buyers were greeted with tantalising electro-acoustic harp-music and champagne as they entered the crystalline façade of the Trielle Display Galleria on the day of its long-awaited Grand Opening.

Guests were treated with cooking demonstrations by Emma Rosen on the sub-penthouse Bora induction cook top with downdraught exhaust, an example of Mirvac Design's detail in Trielle's highly sculptural kitchens.

High-end designer furniture firm Mobilia, good friend and partner of Vogue Living who were involved in the curation of iconic furniture for the Display Galleria, delivered an inspiring masterclass on the design legends past and present such as Patricia Urquiola and Mario Bellini and their timeless furniture that have completed the vision that Mirvac's in-house design had for the Display Galleria experience.

The building is broken down into four different apartment classifications, the Signature, Prestige, Sub Penthouse Collection with the extraordinary Black and White Diamond Penthouses soon to debut.

Mirvac launches Trielle at busy weekend display opening

ASX-listed developer Mirvac has revealed its $350 million luxury residential tower, Trielle, the tallest building to be introduced to their multi-award-winning Yarra’s Edge community in Melbourne.

Formerly referred to as Tower 9, the 45-level tower will be the jewel in the crown of the vibrant precinct, commanding an unrepeatable waterfront position on the Collins Street axis of Melbourne, just 12.5 metres from the Yarra River.

Trielle will feature the most abundant amenity offered to date.

Residents will have access to a library and work pods, the Saletta Business Lounge, a piano bar with self-playing piano, a&nbsp;wine cellar, games room and cocktail bar, theatre, and a golf simulator.

There's also the Oasis Retreat, complete with&nbsp;urban rainforest gardens, a Scandinavian-inspired wellness centre, 25-metre pool, magnesium pool, spa, sauna, cold-pailing and treatment rooms.

<img alt="Trielle" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="40b1ab35-52e2-4acf-b3e2-35e25ebe09cf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-12-19%20at%2012.05.30%20pm.png?VersionId=2syZpjAGjF.aSJ4e0r51kb5_aubXLj2m" />

Mirvac’s announcement follows planning amendment approval received earlier this year, with Mirvac’s General Manager, Residential Development Victoria, Elysa Anderson, saying the upcoming launch in 2023 of Trielle demonstrated prospective purchasers’ ongoing appetite for premium, lifestyle-focused apartments.

“Market vacancy across the east coast residential market has fallen to around 1.5%, new apartment starts are at lowest levels seen since 20122 , and with the recent increase of permanent migration caps, we are seeing an acceleration in population growth, Anderson says.

"Discerning buyers are acting decisively in the tightening market to secure quality, larger apartments setting themselves up for future growth.

“In particular we are seeing demand from customers that are wanting to downsize – especially when presented with a compelling value proposition like Trielle, in a location with so much going for it.”

Anderson said Trielle will likely appeal to a broad owner-occupier demographic, most predominantly the right-sizer buyers looking for a new lifestyle offering, close to the city, with unrivalled amenity. Anderson is anticipating out-of-towners looking for a city base, and experienced apartment dwellers looking to upgrade, to make up a good portion of demand.

<img alt="Trielle 2" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="81af8803-29d9-4a03-8fb5-76038b78bec5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-12-19%20at%2012.05.40%20pm.png?VersionId=U45uaf2yXJ6SrSLiVatI7Z4TAFMua5L0" />

“Our highly anticipated Trielle tower will deliver a legacy project to our vibrant waterfront precinct and draws on our 50 years of experience to offer a new level of prestige and sophistication in apartment living in a location like nothing else in Melbourne,” Anderson added.

With architecture and interiors by Mirvac’s award-winning in-house design team, Mirvac Design,&nbsp;Trielle tower will combine its exclusive location and north-facing riverfront orientation, with 191 apartments, a nine-level podium, ground-level retail space and above-ground parking.

The all-electric tower has also been designed to go beyond current sustainable building codes and will evolve under construction, with a centralised electric heat pump hot water system, rainwater and stormwater storage and reuse and induction cooktops as standard.

Mirvac Design Director, Michael Wiener, said the tower was “jewel-like” in appearance, faceted like a gem, with an angular glazed façade to reflect light and “shine like a diamond.

“Trielle offers riverside rarity and timeless luxury with impeccable craftmanship,” Wiener said.

“The design hinges on the waterfront aspect of Trielle, its view of the city and its commanding presence on the city’s skyline. There is no other site like it in Melbourne that brings together the city, the river and the sky in such a striking way.

<img alt="Trielle 3" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="261078d6-8cdb-4492-ba95-2d352e542a33" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-12-19%20at%2012.05.35%20pm.png?VersionId=0VtW2DjRaG0Dr1XsWh32EOpPNcgKEV4x" />

“Trielle will create breathtaking moments for residents, evoking a response of pride of ownership. Residents will be proud that they are a part of something truly beautiful and unique.”

Trielle’s landscape design will flow from the promenade and through the building, creating an ‘urban forest’ at Yarra’s Edge, that is continued throughout the building’s common areas.

“Trielle’s amenity is focused on making time for wellness,” Mr Wiener said. “The level of luxury and amenity is unprecedented, with a particular focus on celebrating life’s most precious commodity – time – freeing residents up to make time for what matters most, their health and wellbeing.”

Trielle will join Mirvac’s impressive Victorian apartments portfolio, which encompasses Voyager at Yarra’s Edge, The Eastbourne’s luxury residences in East Melbourne, and the recently topped-out Forme at Apartments of Tullamore in Doncaster.

Yarra’s Edge is a coveted 14.5-hectare inner-city waterfront community located on the north-facing bank of the Yarra River that has been developed by Mirvac for more than 20 years.

Now home to over 3,000 residents, Yarra’s Edge is anticipated to include 2,300 dwellings once complete. Designed around wellbeing, Yarra’s Edge already features extensive parkland, state-of-the-art health and fitness facilities at Wharf Club and a marina, with future plans for a boutique retail hub to serve the local community, the broader Fishermans Bend, and Docklands catchment areas.

Expressions of interest are now being registered for Trielle by Mirvac, with the official launch planned for early 2023 and construction anticipated to commence in mid to late 2023.&nbsp;

First look: Mirvac reveal Yarra's Edge tallest tower, Trielle

Sales in Voyager, the apartment tower in Mirvac&#39;s Yarra&#39;s Edge precinct in Melbourne, have taken off in 2021.

The first half of 2021 saw 20 per cent more sales in the recently completed building compared to the same time last year, with&nbsp;owner-occupiers accounting for 78 percent of purchasers over the period.

Mirvac General Manager for Residential Victoria, Elysa Anderson, said buyers were drawn to the luxury apartments, exceptional amenity and beautiful waterfront living Yarra&rsquo;s Edge has to offer.

&quot;Downsizers from regional and interstate locations are looking for a base closer to their families, while experienced local apartment dwellers are seizing the opportunity to upgrade their home and lifestyle at an inner-city location,&rdquo;&nbsp;Anderson said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=167751]

The 130-metre Voyager tower features interiors and architecture by the award-winning Mirvac Design team, including a striking bronzed curved fa&ccedil;ade that reflects the changing lights of the sun as it moves on its daily journey, creating a gateway to Melbourne from the Bolte Bridge.

Comprising 310 apartments including artist and home-office apartments, luxury residences and Sky Residences, Voyager currently has a limited number of one, two&nbsp;and three-bedroom residences available, starting from $601,500.

Voyager residents have access to an inspiring art gallery in the striking lobby, along with an exclusive residents-only rooftop space on level 43, the first of its kind in the precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=180328]

The rooftop includes three distinct zones &ndash; a social barbecue area with indoor and outdoor dining, a lawn for contemplative practice such as yoga, and an open-air lounge with fire pit for relaxing and socialising. It also features a bar, theatre, and karaoke room.

&ldquo;Mirvac&rsquo;s unique end-to-end in-house capabilities have allowed us to effectively navigate the challenges associated with the COVID-19 construction restrictions to complete this next chapter in the development of Yarra&rsquo;s Edge on schedule,&quot; Anderson noted.

&quot;Our customer-first approach enabled us to remain flexible, with a number of purchasers choosing to amalgamate apartments to form larger residences, and we are pleased to be welcoming the first residents into this incredible precinct with some requesting to settle early.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=180330]

Voyager is walking distance to state-of-the-art health and fitness facilities available at the nearby Wharf Club, which boasts a pool, spa, steam room, gym, fitness facilities and caf&eacute;, all housed underneath and grass roof that flows into Wharf&rsquo;s Landing Park &ndash; a 1,500 sqm&nbsp;green open space.

A 1,000 sqm retail hub is also proposed for the precinct, which is anticipated to service both the local community and the broader Fishermans Bend and Docklands catchment area.

Over 3000 residents already call Yarra&#39;s Edge home.

Demand spikes in 2021 for Mirvac's  recently completed Yarra's Edge apartment tower, Voyager, now 82% sold

Mirvac&#39;s ninth tower, in its award-winning Yarra&#39;s Edge community in Melbourne, is hoping to be more tailored to the owner-occupier.

The ASX-listed national property developer are proposing to reconfigure&nbsp;the apartment layouts to drop the number of apartments. The yet-to-be-named Tower Nine&nbsp;is set to be the tallest apartment building in the precinct.

There will now be one extra level, taking the number of levels to 45. That has brought in an extra three bedroom apartment on that level, after the rooftop plan and equipment space was rationalised.

Mirvac has dropped the number of apartments, from 222 to 191, creating larger apartments to meet the latest&nbsp;Apartment Design Guidelines and market expectations. &nbsp;&nbsp;

&quot;We have generally increased the size of the apartments throughout the building, catering more towards larger apartments for the owner occupier market,&quot; a Mirvac spokesperson told Urban.

There will now be 50 one-beds, taking up 27 per cent of the building, and 80 two-bedroom apartments, which make up the bulk of the building of 44 per cent. Now the three-bedroom plus apartments has 29 per cent of the building.

Mirvac General Manager for Residential Victoria, Elysa Anderson, says that the tower 9&nbsp;visioning and subsequent planning application follows the success of Voyager, the most recently completed apartment tower in Yarra&#39;s Edge, as well as buildings Phoenix, Folia and FORME at Apartments of Tullamore in Doncaster.

&ldquo;We are seeing continued resilience in the Melbourne property market, with Voyager receiving strong demand from owner occupiers for quality apartments, supported by exceptional amenity,&quot; Anderson said.

&quot;We plan to launch the highly anticipated tower 9 building in the second half of 2022 and expect it will continue to attract purchasers searching for luxury apartments at the premium end of the market.

&ldquo;This spectacular building is planned to rise from the bank of the river creating a new legacy for Yarra&rsquo;s Edge and a new icon on Melbourne&rsquo;s skyline, with its enviable location at the end of the Collins Street axis.

&quot;The building will deliver an experience that fuses the future of luxury living in harmony with lush green tranquil spaces, connecting residents with nature and promoting a sense of health and wellbeing.

&quot;The design and luxury specification of tower 9 will transcend that of any of the award-winning towers that have come before it at Yarra&rsquo;s Edge,&rdquo;&nbsp;Anderson.

Mirvac Head of Residential, Stuart Penklis, says that tower 9 reinforces Mirvac&rsquo;s confidence in the Victorian apartment market as the state looks to ease restrictions further over the coming months.

&ldquo;Mirvac is focused on accelerating our supply of high-quality apartments in Victoria as we anticipate there will be a shortage of owner occupier residences in premium locations in the future,&quot; Penklis said.

&quot;The strength of the established housing market and the opening up of international borders will continue to drive very strong demand for well-designed and quality constructed apartments just like Voyager and tower 9,&rdquo;

Mirvac&#39;s latest tower completion in Yarra&#39;s Edge is Voyager, the 130-metre, 43-level tower of 310 apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=180330]

Sales at Voyager increase by 20 percent in the first half of 2021 compared to the same time last year, with owner-occupiers accounting for 78 percent of purchasers over that period.

A tour of Mirvac's Array at Yarra's Edge

<html><body>
The recent HIA Victorian Housing Awards saw Yarra Point within Mirvac's Yarra's Edge precinct collect the honours for Victoria's best apartment complex 2014. With the tower's 201 apartments 100% sold, the development will go on to contest the Apartment Complex category at the national HIA awards during 2015.

The sixth tower of Mirvac's Yarra's Edge precinct, the project was launched during late 2010 with 50% subscribed at launch to Mirvac priority purchasers. The final penthouse 'Sky Residence' was sold a matter of weeks ago.

With dwellings ranging from one to three bedroom apartments, plus multi-storey terrace homes offering townhouse-style living, Yarra Point was designed to offer a range of living solutions.

Significant research went into designing the building’s north-facing aspect and ensuring each and every apartment benefited from this exposure. This award is fantastic recognition of Yarra Point’s intelligent design as well as the success of the entire Yarra’s Edge precinct, which offers Melbourne’s best waterside living lifestyle, just minutes from the CBD.

Produced by Mirvac's in-house design team, the complex includes a 300 square metre rooftop garden, residents’ lounge, gym and business centre. Taking centre stage within the two level lobby is a cluster of mature trees and garden plus bluestone paving creating a continuance from that found outside.

Mirvac have a reputation for delivering high quality urban developments and the quality within Yarra's Edge is no exception. Given the shape and inherent complexities of the precinct itself one wonders how the area would be judged from an urban planning and landscape perspective?

As good as Yarra Point is, equally as encouraging is the introduction of green space between waterfront and tower; a methodology that is lacking elsewhere in the precinct and may to a degree aid in the general lack of foot traffic in the area.

Long and thin, the precinct is bound at present by industrial use to the south and water to the north; the forthcoming Fishermans Bend precinct should aid in generating increased foot traffic into Yarra's Edge. Will they like what they see on the ground plane though?

Precinct-wide questions aside Apartments.com.au has walked through Yarra Point; it's totally understandable that the project is this year's recipient of the HIA honour.
