ASX-listed developer Cedar Woods is progressing its plans for its Southbank arts precinct site.&nbsp;

The developer has filed plans, which are now with the&nbsp;Department of Transport and Planning, for a new 20-level tower at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/141-151-sturt-street-southbank-vic-3006">141–151 Sturt Street</a>, a 2,718 sqm block opposite the Habitat Filter sculpture.

The proposal seeks to demolish the two-level&nbsp;commercial building, including a small supermarket and medical tenancies, and create a new building with 180 apartments and a focus on an&nbsp;active public realm and arts integration.

&nbsp;

<img alt="Southbank site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="76a72db6-91ef-43ae-827d-a9cfa72893d2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Site.png?VersionId=DZgtB4K6BswVh0QtCs3iLjXaLp0CbcEb" />

&nbsp;

There will be a full mix of apartment configurations, including 28 studio apartments, 16 one-bedroom, 104 two-bedroom, and 32 three-bedroom units.

Retail, creative arts, and residential amenity functions are integrated across the lower levels. A food and drink tenancy is planned to front Dodds Street, while a retail tenancy fronting Sturt Street will be accessed via an elevated walkway. The first floor includes a substantial 734 sqm creative arts space, envisioned to support Melbourne’s growing cultural and digital industries.

Architecture firm <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has put together the plans. In their&nbsp;Urban Design Report they highlighted the project’s ambition to embed itself within Southbank’s evolving cultural fabric.

A central feature of the design is a through-block link connecting Sturt and Dodds Streets, landscaped with native plantings and embedded with universal access ramps.

“The ramp has been thoughtfully integrated as the primary access point, ensuring universal accessibility for all users,” the report noted, with the link offering “a direct response to the urban planning scheme of creating more green spaces within our communities”.

<img alt="Southbank podium" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4d24b1b2-d69c-4a11-a11d-ec6df432221c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/podium.png?VersionId=geWoJyZDmPSLODZ_.PNJ0LvpOmyyCdpo" />

The building’s podium form responds to the mandatory height limits along Dodds Street and maintains a fine-grain interface to adjoining developments. Above the podium, the tower is articulated with recessed balconies and a focus on views toward the CBD and surrounding arts institutions. A communal rooftop recreation deck and indoor lounge are positioned on level four, adjoining seven apartments and providing over 900 sqm of resident amenity space.

Vehicle access and loading will be provided via Dodds Street, with 155 resident car spaces located across two basement levels and the first three above-ground floors. Bicycle storage is more generous, with 226 spaces distributed across resident, staff and visitor needs.

Rothelowman describes the architecture as “humanist,” with ground-level interfaces designed to encourage social interaction and provide a dignified entry for both residents and passers-by. “All street interfaces are crafted to invite and nurture human connections,” the design report states. “The façade transitions to a human scale, providing an approachable and engaging streetscape”.

Cedar Woods, while well-known for its large communities it develops outside of Australia's capital cities, they have recently developed in Melbourne's inner-ring before. They are approaching completion at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/88-leveson-north-melbourne-88-leveson-street-north-melbourne-vic-3051">88 Leveson</a>, just 15 townhouses in the heart of North Melbourne.

Cedar Woods progresses with new apartment plans in Southbank arts precinct

Brisbane developers Core Property Partners and Vector Property Australia has teamed up for Brisbane's newest apartment development.

The duo identified <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/east-brisbane-qld-4169">East Brisbane</a> as their preferred suburb, on the fringe of the Gabba Precinct, where they've just revealed BANKSII, 72 apartments opposite Raymond Park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5481]

The one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments will sit in a glass-wrapped building that will also feature a rooftop with an&nbsp;infinity-edge pool, a BBQ area and alfresco dining spaces, sun lounges, and a sauna, as well as a resident-only gym and a ground-floor cafe.

Rhett Williams, Director of Vector Property Australia, said the project will lift the quality of the East Brisbane community and set a new benchmark.

"In Brisbane’s current property landscape, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/banksii-east-brisbane-169-wellington-road-east-brisbane-qld-4169">BANKSII</a> stands out through its emphasis on lifestyle-oriented living, connectivity and sophisticated design," Williams says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5479]

The 10-level building has been designed by MAS Architecture. Their designs were inspired by the native Banksia flower, with the architecture and interiors reflecting the organic symmetry of its namesake flora. MAS has interpreted this throughout the building’s curved form, façade detailing and interior palette.&nbsp;

The building’s flowing geometry and natural tones are complemented by large balconies and floor-to-ceiling glazing, maximising cross-breezes, daylight and views over the city, parklands and river.

“Having a strong narrative for a building helps us architecturally,” MAS noted. "We can choose colours that come off that species of flowers. The trunk and the trees and the flower elements all are now visible in our joinery on the inside and in our architectural finishes on the outside."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5485]

Apartments will feature timber floors, soft porcelain tiles, brushed bronze fittings, and stone benchtops with warm veining.&nbsp;

Kitchens feature premium SMEG appliances and generous storage, while bathrooms have been designed as calming retreats with curved cabinetry and twin sinks in the master ensuites.

The building will feature a suite of rooftop and wellness amenities. Residents will have access to an infinity-edge pool, BBQ and alfresco dining areas, sun lounges and a rooftop sauna.&nbsp;

A residents-only gym will be located on the podium level, while a ground-floor café and landscaped laneway will further activate the site and improve neighbourhood connectivity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5488]

BANKSII will rise from a prime Wellington Road site, with the building oriented to overlook the adjacent Raymond Park and take in extensive city views. It is also on the doorstep of key&nbsp;lifestyle infrastructure, including the future Kangaroo Point Green Bridge, The Gabba stadium, and the planned Brisbane Live arena.&nbsp;

Public transport options, including ferry, bus and rail - including the future Cross River Rail Woolloongabba station - are all nearby, supporting a car-optional lifestyle just minutes from the CBD.

Williams said the team spent over a year searching for the ideal site before securing this location.

"We were attracted to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/east-brisbane-qld-4169">East Brisbane</a> as it is a vibrant and growing community that offers a perfect balance of urban convenience and natural beauty with the parklands and river on our doorstep.”

The project is part of the broader Woolloongabba Games precinct, which is undergoing significant investment in the lead-up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. This urban renewal, coupled with infrastructure upgrades, is expected to enhance long-term liveability and capital growth in the area.

Given the wide max of configurations, BANKSII is expected to suit everyone from first home buyers and investors to families and downsizers.

BANKSII sales launch in booming East Brisbane apartment market

The Minns Labor Government will deliver Sydney’s first new heavy rail station in more than a decade – enabling up to 10,000 new homes by rezoning land around Woollahra and Edgecliff stations, right next to the CBD, to tackle the housing crisis and rebalance growth across the city.

Recent reports by the NSW Productivity Commission have warned that Sydney is losing twice as many young people as it is gaining, while also finding that Woollahra is the most feasible Local Government Area (LGA) in New South Wales to build new housing.

Despite this, housing approvals in Woollahra consistently lag well behind other LGAs, and the population has declined by 11 per cent over the past 50 years while Greater Sydney as a whole has grown by 74 per cent.

The new station that will be an eight-minute trip from Sydney CBD, will be located on the Eastern Suburbs train line in Woollahra, where a station build was started in the 1970s but never completed.

To enable the delivery of new homes the NSW Government will lead a rezoning of Woollahra and Edgecliff stations similar to other state led rezonings to allow additional homes to be built around the stations.

Affordable housing will also make up a proportion of development on the site with the final amount of affordable housing required, to be determined as part of the rezoning process.

The area surrounding the new station is within walking distance of major green and recreational space including Cooper, Trumper, Rushcutters Bay and Centennial Parks.

The Eastern Suburbs train line between Bondi Junction and Sydney CBD also has the lowest passenger usage rates during the AM peak of any line on the Sydney network, with only 43 per cent of operating capacity during the AM peak currently being utilised by passengers.

Sydney Water and Infrastructure NSW have confirmed there is capacity in the water and wastewater systems to accommodate the proposed 10,000 dwellings without major upgrades.

The rezoning is expected to take around two years and will further support the Government’s housing targets that rebalance the delivery of new homes around existing infrastructure.

Fresh off completing its mixed-use Malvern project Malvern Collective, Kokoda Property Group has acquired a prime site on Richmond's Bridge Road.

They are planning a mid-rise residential development with&nbsp;integrated wellness amenities and a vibrant ground-floor retail and dining offering.

The site, at&nbsp;487–495 Bridge Road, spans&nbsp;1,650 sqm with 50 metres of dual frontage across Bridge Road and Palmer Street. It is currently leased to Adairs, and has a large retail building and 20 onsite car parks.
</section>

<section data-element_type="section" data-id="534a164">
Kokoda Property Group’s acquisition forms part of a broader phase of growth in Melbourne, building on momentum from the completion of Malvern Collective and the recent purchase of a Burnley Street site for the developer’s first commercial project.&nbsp;

Mark Stevens, Kokoda Property Group’s Founder and Managing Director, said that the company’s Bridge Road site acquisition signals confidence in a city that is re-accelerating.

“Melbourne is regaining momentum,"&nbsp;Stevens said.

"After a cautious period post-COVID, we’re seeing buyer sentiment stabilise and capital leaning back into well-located, quality projects. Victoria now benefits from deep builder capacity and competitive delivery pricing, creating a rare opportunity to bring design-led inner-city developments to market without compromising on craftsmanship.

“Richmond ticks all the boxes for us – connectivity, culture and everyday amenity – making Bridge Road the perfect address for an amenity-rich, multi-use development."

<img alt="Kokoda" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9a8de51d-8092-480a-8b7e-e081816692c2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-08-29%20at%208.54.27%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VRHpV5.6beOu2cieKHWrw3ErMPuVOAuj" />

Envisioned as an “urban lantern” the building will bring a distinctive new presence to Bridge Road with a sculptural retail frontage, designed to honour the street’s heritage character while contributing to its renewal.

Stevens said the acquisition reflects the developer’s commitment to design-led addresses in Melbourne’s inner city.

“Drawing on Richmond’s rich heritage and dynamic character, we’ve envisioned a contemporary building that respects the past while elevating the way people live today. With dual frontages, curated ground-floor spaces, and a focus on wellness, this project will contribute to the neighbourhood’s evolution, appealing to both downsizers and a new generation of professionals.”

Kokoda Property will now progress concept design ahead of a future planning process.

First look: Kokoda secures Richmond site for new apartment development

Gold Coast developer Drew Group is fast approaching sell-out at its Main Beach apartment development, Lagoon Main Beach.

In the last nine months, Drew Group and sales partner Pezet Matheson have secured 31 sales totalling over $75 million, as the two-tower development advances towards completion under the expert eye of Hutchinson Builders.

“Today's buyers are more discerning than ever," Drew Group Managing Director Jon Drew says.

"It's essential to provide something truly unique that sets a development apart, and we believe Lagoon has achieved just that."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=193023]

Just over 50 per cent of recent&nbsp;sales have been to local buyers, reflecting the deep trust and connection within the Gold Coast community that Drew Group has developed over the years.

Demand has been particularly robust at the top end, with two of the three exclusive penthouses already sold, alongside five sub-penthouses. Only seven apartments remain in Lagoon's Signature Series — one&nbsp;penthouse and six sub-penthouses.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=284864]

Drew Group has also removed the much-maligned sunset clause from all contracts at Lagoon. The sunset clause — although rarely invoked, yet on occasion known to have been — allows developers to take back contracts on apartments should the building not be completed within the timeframe specified in the contract.

Pezet Matheson Co-Director Jayde Pezet says the fact Lagoon is&nbsp;within a year of completion, and has no sunset clause in contracts, provides certainty to buyers.

"This is paramount in the current market," Pezet says.

Drew Group has committed to providing the highest level of security inclusions — none more impressive than the Ubiquity Access Control System, a cutting-edge facial recognition technology that is one of the most state-of-the-art keyless entry systems on the market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=190743]

One of the biggest drawcards to Lagoon has been the size of the apartments.

"It is unlikely that any future new development in Main Beach will be able to offer such spacious living at this price point," Drew says.

"Today's buyers are more discerning than ever, carefully evaluating amenities like gyms, spas, workspaces, and beach lockers, along with quality finishes. It's essential to provide something truly unique that sets a development apart, and we believe Lagoon has achieved just that."

Lagoon is set to complete construction in mid-2026.

Lagoon Main Beach approaches sell-out as local buyers drive $75m in sales

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;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113348 project_image_fid=204227]

Taking on its setting, Pyco’s latest residential development, Nouveau presents a contemporary interpretation of Albion’s historic architectural character.&nbsp;

Distinctive arched terraces speak to the suburbs quintessential Queenslander verandas, whilst the building's base-brick foundation calls to mind the neighbourhood’s enduring industrial heritage.&nbsp;

The double-height, two storey sky homes offer inner-city living without compromising on space, inspired by Albion’s heritage fabric whilst maintaining a future-forward design.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113348 project_image_fid=204213]

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]

The ground floor residences will feature their own front entry, with a private yard at the rear, to mirror the feeling of a traditional home, while the rooftop residences will enjoy oversized private rooftop terraces.

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;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113348 project_image_fid=204229]

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;

Having previously worked together on&nbsp;The Bailey project, DAH Architecture has again been tasked with handling the designs of the three-bedroom, double storey-residences, with the fully cross-ventilated homes revelling in split level living arrangements.

&nbsp;&ldquo;A modern take on the classic Queenslander, Nouveau represents an entirely new type of apartment living for those who value room to move&mdash;in one of the city&rsquo;s most exciting urban playgrounds,&rdquo;&nbsp;Pyco note about the project.

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 group also plan to deliver another 36 residences to West End, with plans put forward to develop on a site on Vulture Street.

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.
