One of the most significant beachfront projects ever proposed for the small suburb of Miami on the Gold Coast, has taken a major step forward.&nbsp;Monaco Property Group has secured approval for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nalu-miami-122-marine-parade-qld-4220">NALU</a>, a $500 million development comprising just 45 ultra-luxury residences on the iconic former Nobby’s Outlook site.

Acquired by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/monaco-property-group">Monaco Property Group</a> in 2024 for $70 million, the rare 7,238 sqm Marine Parade parcel boasts more than 80 metres of uninterrupted ocean frontage.

With approvals now secured, Monaco Property Group will move NALU into its delivery phase. The project has been designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, who collaborated with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/ldg-landscape-architecture">LDG Landscape Architecture</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/tom-mark-henry">Tom Mark Henry Interiors</a>&nbsp;to create the low-rise building, its landscaping, and interiors.

Residences will range from 237 sqm layouts to beachfront homes exceeding 1,400 sqm.

At the heart of the project is a 2,200 sqm lifestyle precinct with a bathhouse, fitness centre and resort-style pool, elevated by a concierge service.

Jonathan Grasso, Co-Founder of Monaco Property Group, said the council approval marks an exciting milestone for NALU, which will launch in Q1 2026.

“The project will now progress toward construction, working alongside our world-class collaborators to bring NALU to life," Grasso said.

“Our vision is to create a legacy project for the Gold Coast, one that not only honours the history of the site but also elevates its future, setting a new standard for coastal living in Australia. NALU embodies the pinnacle of design and location and will stand as an enduring icon of prestige and liveability.”

<img alt="NALU" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6ae8545b-87ca-4dea-90ed-ac273ec6515d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Image7.jpg?VersionId=Wnmie4bu3x2WQonnG4Pwmh39NdZVKeOV" />

Originally developed in the 1970s as Nobby’s Outlook and later refurbished in 2019 as Nalu, the property has long held a place in the local community’s coastal identity. The new vision will build on this legacy, creating luxury residences that capture ocean views while fostering a lifestyle defined by wellness, connection, and ease.&nbsp;

Beyond its residential offering, NALU will deliver significant economic benefits to the Gold Coast through job creation and opportunities for local suppliers and contractors. Construction is anticipated to commence in early 2026, with completion expected in Q3 2028.

Monaco Property Group approved for $500 million NALU apartments on Miami beach

The most elevated residential tower in Palm Beach, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/corallo-palm-beach-5-palm-beach-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">Corallo</a>, has officially launched this week, however only a handful of buyers will have an opportunity to buy in to the 17-storey project.

The $200 million mixed-use project includes ground floor dining and retail and is considered so valuable its developer, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/changfa-group">Changfa Group</a>, will be staging its release of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses to the market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=806]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> International, Director, David Higgins, said the development’s location just metres from the beach on the corner of Palm Beach Avenue and the Gold Coast Highway influenced the sculptural design by the acclaimed Plus Architecture studio.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> locals understand the rare opportunity here at Corallo, particularly being the tallest building in the suburb and its proximity to the beach and local restaurants, and they’ve represented the bulk of pre-launch enquiries,” Higgins said.

“The orientation of the apartments captures views of the coastline from Surfers Paradise to Currumbin, and the diversity of floor plans and apartment types provide an exceptional level of choice.

“The first release includes just 59 one-, two and three-bedroom apartments and two half-floor penthouses, with flexible use designed to appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors."

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=799]

In addition to the ground floor amenity, residents will also have access to a private dedicated wellness level offering 734 sqm of resort-style amenities including a pool, cold plunge, wet deck, steam room, sauna, gym, day bed, fire pit, barbecue area, dining area and yoga/stretch deck.

The project is located within walking distance of Tallebudgera Creek, Burleigh Heads village, Currumbin Alley and Palm Beach Currumbin High School. The Gold Coast Airport is under 10 minutes away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=814]

Higgins said Palm Beach remained a hotly contested suburb for home buyers, with prices doubling in the past five years.

“What makes Corallo so appealing to the local market is the diversity of apartment types and pricing, with one-bedroom apartments starting from $841,000 and two-bedroom apartments starting from $1.34 million,” he said.

“The ground floor retail and dining offering will further expand on Palm Beach’s village atmosphere and create a meeting place for locals, and those opportunities for connection are highly valued.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=807]

The on-site sales display, which includes a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, will be open until early works commence in Q1 2026. Each residence at Corallo will feature premium finishes including natural stone, artisanal brickwork, and warm copper accents.

Changfa Group has a two-decade history of delivering premium developments in Australia and internationally, having recently completed its collection of premium townhomes at Lyra, Hope Island, as well as apartment projects in Leichhardt, Carlingford, and Chatswood in New South Wales.

$200 million Corallo Palm Beach launches with limited apartment release

In a move that aligns with NSW's accelerated planning incentives for affordable housing, developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/the-one-collection">One Collection</a> has revised its Hills District apartment plans, and taken it to the NSW Government, to secure approval.

The developer, which is currently delivering Horizon Hurstville, is seeking to add 80 more apartments to its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-castle-hill-16-dawes-avenue-nsw-2154">Castle Hill development</a> near Castle Towers. They already have approval for 280 apartments across eight six-storey buildings.

<img alt="One Collection" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3c298ba-1cc5-4db7-9872-607c75f8ceca" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=wN9KpFIu5ENSGZLLsaZgXQHrXcwEO3Vd" />

Now on the desks of the NSW Department of Planning is 360 apartments, 48 of which will be dedicated to affordable housing.&nbsp;Affordable housing is to be “fully integrated within the building and visually indistinguishable,” according to the planning submission.

The 15,697 sqm block, an amalgamation of 16 sites, spans across Dawes Avenue, Hughes Avenue, and Camdan Crescent, sits 550m from Hills Showground Metro Station.&nbsp;

"The existing context is quickly changing from free-standing homes into residential flat buildings in line with the Hills Showground Precinct planning framework," Place Studio noted.

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3ec24948-c185-48fa-af8b-ed25adf302bf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.04%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=zNDX.IeRROX1RlDeYcS38xn8w_dqgU2t" />

They said the design was informed by the site's unique condition of having three street frontages and was developed to to respond sensitively to iots surrounding context.

"The design adopted a conventional perpendicular alignment to the primary street frontage. The massing of the development was carefully modulated to align with the evolving character of the neighbourhood. The design ensured that the scale was not excessive or out of context, but instead contributed to a cohesive urban form consistent with emerging developments in the area."

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f83ffdaa-f960-469d-b6fe-abcece57c9ef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.09%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4oKlCyfaKes7jLi1_EMoqa46w2h_YvDZ" />

The apartment mix will be 46 one-beds, 168 two-bed apartments, and 146 three-bedroom units, with 631 parking spaces proposed.

Along the street frontages, the building heights are four storeys with a 7.5 metre setback, and eight storeys with an 11.5 metre setback. It should cost about $150 million to build.

One Collection works hand-in-hand with the respected development and construction firm Masscon, which has built a reputation for leveraging its expertise in the built environment to take on developments others can't. That's what they're achieving at Horizon Hurstville, having taken over the project to deliver it.

At Yarra’s Edge, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a>’s newest tower under construction, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/trielle-at-yarra-s-edge-docklands-16-point-park-crescent-docklands-vic-3008">Trielle</a>, sets a new benchmark for elevated living. Rising 45 storeys, 12.5 metres from the Yarra River, the landmark building offers residents access to a private wellness retreat and spa, a resident-only golf simulator, and an elegant lounge, dining and bar complete with a self-playing piano, all without ever having to leave home.

Now, that sense of elevation has reached new heights with the Aerus Sub-Penthouses, a limited release of half-floor riverfront residences on the Collins St axis where the sought-after street meets the Yarra River.

Each Aerus Sub-Penthouse, located across levels 42 and 43, represents the most expansive offering within Trielle, aside from the yet-to-be-revealed crowning penthouses. Spanning between 269 and 301 sqm, these residences are designed to capture natural light and uninterrupted views of the city skyline, Yarra River, and Port Phillip Bay.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3784]

Among the collection are three-bedroom sub penthouses, complemented by a media room, and expansive four-bedroom layouts. All include panoramic living areas and oversized master suites with luxury ensuites reminiscent of a five-star hotel, complemented by dedicated dressing rooms finished in timber and natural stone.

The interiors have been crafted by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/mirvac-design">Mirvac Design</a>, the developer’s award-winning in-house architecture and design team. Every material has been chosen for quality and longevity, from sculpted stone island benches with feature soft wash LED lighting to bespoke joinery and chevron timber oak flooring.

Kitchens are fitted with a BORA induction cooktop with integrated downdraft extractor, alongside Gaggenau appliances, including a fridge, freezer, and wine fridge. The adjoining butler’s pantry incorporates the exclusive Gaggenau Minimalistic Series including oven, steam oven, microwave, coffee machine and warming drawer, all concealed behind handleless glass panels for a clean, integrated presentation. Bathrooms feature custom Apaisar freestanding baths and basins and natural stone benchtops, continuing Mirvac’s design emphasis on tactile, timeless materials.&nbsp;

<img alt="Trielle at Yarra's Edge, Docklands" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c00be724-b0f1-47c0-afed-54f829870704" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Aerus%20sub-penthouse.png?VersionId=Uktd61kpLSqNjwJeDFs7IaZ3xgLlDQmu" />

Michael Wiener, Design Director at Mirvac, says The Aerus Sub-Penthouse embodies the apex of Mirvac’s design ethos.

“Moving through your home is like walking on air - a private sanctuary where the craftsmanship is refined, the proportions generous, and the flow so effortless, you feel completely at ease in the sky,” Wiener says.

“In Aerus, we wanted to create a sense of weightlessness - a home that feels suspended in the skyline, full of light, grounded in luxury.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3777]

The Aerus Sub-Penthouses are expected to attract a mix of local and international buyers seeking a long-term residence of scale and quality in a riverfront setting, from returning expats to established families and business owners who value privacy, craftsmanship, and convenience within walking distance of the CBD.

With an unmatched suite of amenities, Trielle is the most extensively appointed development Mirvac has created to date at Yarra’s Edge. Within the tower will be The Oasis, a 900 sqm podium rooftop wellness retreat designed in collaboration with spa expert Naomi Gregory. Located seven storeys above the Yarra River promenade, it features a 25-metre lap pool, spa and sauna, hot magnesium spa, biophilic gym, yoga and Pilates studio, cold-pail contrast treatment, and day spa treatment rooms. Further amenities include a piano lounge, bookable dining room, cinema room, golf simulator studio, games room, teppanyaki bar, dog wash bay, and two flexible work hubs, The Biblioteca library and Mills Place office space, catering to residents’ evolving lifestyle needs.

Construction of the $350 million tower is underway through Mirvac’s in-house construction arm, with completion anticipated for mid-2027.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/jwland-development">JWLand</a>’s De Burgh, the final residential release within the Northbourne Village precinct in Lyneham, is nearing completion just as the Federal Government’s Home Guarantee Scheme prepares for its most significant expansion to date.&nbsp;

From October 2025, the scheme will allow first home buyers to enter the market with just a five per cent deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), removing some of the most common barriers to ownership.

With <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/de-burgh-at-northbourne-village-40-de-burgh-street-lyneham-act-2602">De Burgh</a> on track for residents to move in by late spring 2025, the timing creates a strong opportunity for first home buyers seeking brand-new apartments in Canberra’s sought-after Inner North.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=212888]

The project delivers 350 residences across two buildings, with layouts ranging from compact studios through to one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.

JWLand has tailored the development for long-term liveability, integrating natural light, privacy and outdoor space into each home. Ground-floor residences feature private courtyards, while upper levels benefit from generous balconies.

Kitchens are fitted with Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, and all apartments include ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning with smartphone app control for lighting and climate.&nbsp;

Shared resident facilities include a rooftop garden, gym, lounge and parcel lockers, alongside landscaped green space within the precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=267376]

For buyers, the expanded Home Guarantee Scheme removes income caps and introduces unlimited places, making it more accessible than ever. With most De Burgh apartments priced under $1 million, they fall well within the updated eligibility thresholds.

The policy changes provide first home buyers with greater certainty and a smoother path to finance. Combined with the quality and location of De Burgh, the expanded scheme is expected to draw a new wave of buyers to Canberra’s Inner North.

Residents will benefit from the project’s central setting, just 600 metres from the light rail and three kilometres from Canberra’s CBD. The precinct is bordered by the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/lyneham-act-2602">Lyneham</a> wetlands and sits within easy reach of cafes, restaurants, schools and the ANU.

With completion scheduled for late 2025, De Burgh is set to be among the first major apartment projects to meet the expanded scheme head-on, offering first-time buyers a realistic pathway to ownership in one of Canberra’s most connected neighbourhoods.

JWLand’s De Burgh aligns with expanded Homebuyer Scheme, opening doors for first home buyers in Canberra’s Inner North

Albion

Nearly seven years after buying a development site in Brisbane's Albion, property investment specialist OpenCorp has finalised what it wants to do with it.

Opencorp, founded by&nbsp;Matthew and Allister Lewison in 2005, have filed plans for two 11-storey towers at 31 Dover Street, Albion, a 5,600 sqm site they bought for $11 million in 2016.

They've had Hayes Anderson Lynch (HAL) draw up the plans for the development, which will home 218 one, two and three-bedroom apartments across both stages.

HAL have pointed the two towers together to form a V shape, which helps maximise daylight and passive ventilation to all sides of the development. They also prioritized&nbsp;views towards the project’s green spaces, as well as the wider city skyline. The premium apartments toward the top of the towers will have uninterrupted city vews.

<img alt="Render of the Dover Street site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b6853f3d-4f4b-42bd-b0eb-98201bfe9fef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-02-09%20at%203.46.06%20pm.png?VersionId=bxXBnbheep8Z4OUXdY96R.C7JTCKMuP5" />Render of the Dover Street site in Albion.

The 'V' shape allows for a larger average setback to the side boundaries and street frontage of the development, while also increasing the average setback between towers, which supports the ground floor communal space. This 'V' shape also ensures that each residence's balcony to the inside of the site has a view into the communal courtyard and away from the other tower.

A lush oasis will be developed across the ground floor, with the communal area featuring a gym, functional space and barbecue facilities, along with a variety of seating areas nestled within verdant landscaping.&nbsp;

Each of the towers will also include a communal rooftop area, offering views toward the city and across the surrounding suburb. They will each have their own pool.

Credit: HAL Architects.

OpenCorp co-founder Allister Lewison says the project will suit those buyers who are priced out of neighbouring Newstead.

"We're located in a pocket where we're surrounded by Newstead, Hamilton, and Ascot, some of the more affluent suburbs in Brisbane,"&nbsp;Lewison said.

When developing plans for the project, the team commissioned&nbsp;The National Property Research Co. to dig into the demographics of Albion, which found the average Albion resident is getting younger.

"We conducted our research and found a lot of mid 20s and 30-year old renters living in neighbouring areas aren't likely to be able to afford the increasingly unaffordable suburbs," Lewison says.

"We've created a product mix where we can offer something for the first home buyer, as well as rightsizers and young families.

The The National Property Research Co. report says around one third of Albion's population sits in the in the 25 to 34 age bracket. They said employment opportunities, as well as the suburb's&nbsp;location and proximity to entertainment precincts such as Race Course Road, James Street and Fortitude Valley, have been driving factors in the millennial demographic surge.

Lewison expects there to be a good balance between both owner-occupiers and investors, given soaring rents and the extensive infrastructure planned in the area as part of the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

Last year the Brisbane City Council announced Crosby Park and the Albion Park Raceway, less than 100 metres from the Dover Street site, would be redeveloped into a 29 hectare sports precinct which will include the&nbsp;Brisbane Indoor and Para Sports Centre for the Olympic Games.

Celebrating Brisbane’s subtropical environment, landscaping and subtropical design are integral to the Dover Street development’s design. Landscape elements have been integrated throughout the building, from the green spaces along the street, to the communal courtyard which will be located toward the back of the development. Planter boxes will also be used on the facade, which will not only support the green environment but also add a layer of detail to the facade.

The site will embrace its inner-city locale, providing over 270 resident and visitor bike parking spaces, while also being near to the Albion Train Station, in addition to a number of bus stops, helping to reduce the reliance on car transport.&nbsp;

First look exclusive: OpenCorp lodge plans for Albion apartment development 

As developers continue to take up stock in the sunshine state - building north of the border for greener prospects and a more buyer-friendly market - a number have failed to peak the interest of discerning buyers, delivering the stock-standard in residential projects.

As design trends shift and alter, developments are often left bordering on success or failure depending on whether they’ve included the latest fad.&nbsp;

In recent times, it's all about creating more than just a place to live, which is what Sydney developers, Pyco did when they took to the inner-city suburb of Albion.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113348 project_image_fid=204218]

The 42-Sky Home project, Nouveau has been designed with the owner-occupier in mind, with first home buyers and local downsizers thrilled by the elevelated apartment offering.&nbsp;

With a mix of three and four-bedroom apartments, DAH Architecture designed the homes to be reminiscent of the traditional Queenslander, while still adding a modern touch.&nbsp;

Recent purchaser Clara Hinch, who is moving into an apartment with her partner Ronald said they were particularly drawn to Nouveau when they saw the plans and the rooftop garden.&nbsp;

“We’ve lived in Hendra for the last 12 years; Albion is only a stone’s throw away and we spend a lot of time around the Newstead area which is super close.”

“The fact the building is not another concrete eyesore will complement the eclectic feel of Albion.”

The inner-city project is being marketed exclusively by Realm Projects, with Managing Director, Shane Foley saying there are several points of difference about Nouveau that make it a rare find in the marketplace.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113348 project_image_fid=204228]

“A lot of care and attention to detail has been included throughout the project, including the design of the facade, landscape and internal finishes,” Foley said.&nbsp;

"Conceived as a single loaded design, Nouveau’s apartments run right through the front to the back, which allows optimum cross ventilation as well as an abundance of natural light to pass through each residence," he said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

DAHA’s Director, David Hansford explained the reasoning behind this was that it allowed each apartment to do more - creating the sense of a more traditional home, rather than a typical unit.&nbsp;

The rooftop terrace crowning Nouveau completes the amenity offering in the building, with a pool, barbecue facilities and an entertaining area all imbued in lush green landscaping.&nbsp;

“The developers PYCO are committed to delivering exceptional living experiences for residents with commencement of construction forecast for the first quarter of 2023,” Foley concluded.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The collection of 42 sub-tropical townhomes sit in an elevated position, leveraging on its enviable hill-top location for city views across neighbouring suburbs and the Brisbane city skyline.

“This is a development uniquely suited to its surrounds. In a suburb defined by it’s industrial character, Albion’s architectural heritage is reflected in Nouveau’s striking façade—a sophisticated interplay of brickwork, concrete and natural greenery that blends seamlessly into the local streetscape.”

Nouveau’s apartments have been curated under a single loaded design, which means the residences run right through the building.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113348 project_image_fid=204237]

How Pyco's apartment project, Nouveau fits into its Albion surrounds  

Brisbane's&nbsp;inner north-east is the next spot for Sydney-based developers, Pyco Group.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Sydney-based developers are no strangers to the Sunshine State, having built up an impressive portfolio over the past seven years with projects in West End, Chermside, Newmarket, and Cannon Hill.&nbsp;

The new Albion&nbsp;development, Nouveau,&nbsp;is set to deliver 42&nbsp;sub-tropical sky homes upon completion, adding to Pyco's&nbsp;impressive project pipeline valued at over $150 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113348 project_image_fid=204233]

Realm Projects Managing Director, Shane Foley, says the Albion&nbsp;location really adds to Nouveau's desirability.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“It’s an amazing, iconic suburb, with wonderful opportunities. It has that laid back vibe but there’s also the buzz and excitement just minutes away,” he added.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The group's latest residences have been designed in a bid to bridge the&nbsp;gap in the Queensland property market.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Designed by DAH Architecture,&nbsp;Nouveau has been designed as a reimagined, contemporary take on a traditional Queenslander.

DAHA's Director, David Hansford, says the project is the outcome of years of planning and hypothesising and making practical and pragmatic space for people to occupy.&nbsp;

“We really took the Queenslander pallet and incorporated it into the apartments to give them a sense of home."&nbsp;

Pyco's Development Director, Ben Dalgliesh, says Nouveau will give buyers a chance to get an architecturally&nbsp;designed home, in a suburb they want to live in, at an affordable price.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113348 project_image_fid=204237]

“Nouveau has come about from a problem that we've identified in the market: there aren't quality homes that people want in the suburbs they want to live in.&nbsp;We see it as the missing middle; there’s a lot of high-density development, and there's a lot of low-density housing that's unaffordable,&nbsp;but nothing of quality in between".&nbsp;

The apartments within Nouveau have been curated under a single loaded design, which means the residences run right through the building.&nbsp;

Dalgliesh explains the reasoning behind this is to allow each apartment to do more, creating the sense of a more traditional home, rather than a typical unit.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113348 project_image_fid=204232]

Nouveau's ground floor residences will feature their own front entry, with a private yard at the rear, to mirror the feeling of a traditional home.&nbsp;

Rooftop residences will enjoy oversized private rooftop terraces, and all sky homes take advantage of impressive double height entertaining areas at their terraces, which enhances the feeling of space within the residence.

"The name Nouveau means 'new' and we see this project as a new offering to the Brisbane market," Dalgliesh concluded.&nbsp;

Pyco has a number of residential developments cropping up around the Brisbane area, including the currently under-construction West End project, The Bailey, which comprises 26 luxury boutique, two and three-bedroom apartments, with only a selection of three-bedroom residences remaining.

The eight-storey tower is crowned by an activated rooftop level, that allows residents to enjoy Brisbane&rsquo;s subtropical climate and benefit from amenities including a sundeck/lounge, daybed area, and a pool.

&ldquo;The proposed design has taken a sensitive approach in respecting the industrial heritage significance of the existing site. The distinct angular roof form and brick palette of the existing industrial building have been reflected in the proposal by incorporating brick feature walls and overclad elements along the street frontage within the planting areas.&rdquo;

The area is well serviced by public transport, parkland, and retail.
