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.

Alexandria

Property developer, HPG Australia (HPG) has reached a mutually acceptable agreement with the City of Sydney Council in the NSW Land and Environment Court with the outcome allowing the developer to proceed with its $700 million mixed-use development, One Sydney Park.

The talked about development,&nbsp;at 205-225 Euston Road in Alexandria, essentially within the 44-hectare Sydney Park was originally approved by the City&rsquo;s Central Sydney Planning Committee in 2017, however the City of Sydney had rejected the scheme in 2020 stating that it would negatively impact on Sydney Park and that it felt the detailed plans &ldquo;differed greatly&rdquo; from the original concept.

Designed by MHN Design Union (MHNDU), Silvester Fuller (SF) and Sue Barnsley Design, with interiors curated by Tracy Wiles - previously head of interiors with Make Architects -&nbsp;the One Sydney Park project, to be built on the south-eastern edge of Sydney Park, on land formerly owned by Goodman, was previously intended to house 390 apartments and a range of commercial and cultural uses across eight, six-storey buildings.

<a href="/new-apartments/one-sydney-park-215-euston-road-alexandria"><img alt="" height="1096" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-06_at_10.44.17_am.png" width="1624" /></a>

HPG appealed the decision on the grounds that the detailed designs for the site complied with Council&rsquo;s planning parameters and met all the recommendations set by the City&rsquo;s own design competition panel, who had unanimously endorsed the MHNDU + SF &amp; Sue Barnsley submission.

The latest version of the proposal, submitted to both the NSW Land and Environment Court and the City of Sydney, reduced the number of apartments to 356.

The building mass is pushed back from the park and the perceived overall height of the buildings is decreased with planting and landscape screening the upper levels.

There is also a &ldquo;greatly increased&rdquo; setback to the upper levels of each park-side building, with the greatest setback achieved in the northern most park-side building, &ldquo;where visual sensitivity is at its highest.&rdquo;

<a href="/new-apartments/one-sydney-park-215-euston-road-alexandria"><img alt="" height="1094" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-06_at_10.44.23_am.png" width="1648" /></a>

The architects stated in the proposal that their vision is to create a place that resonates and extends the ecology of the adjoining parkland.

&ldquo;A blurring of the boundary between built form and the park landscape is achieved by dissolving the built edges of the apartment buildings fronting the park,&rdquo; the architects note.

&ldquo;Where adjacent to the parklands, or visible above the existing trees, the building form takes on a deliberately de-materialised quality. The mass of the building is intentionally blurred, emulating the character of the surrounding tree canopies.&rdquo;

Primely positioned bordering the iconic Sydney Park, the third largest park in inner-city Sydney, One Sydney Park, the first limited release of apartments was launched to the market in March 2018, attracting strong interest from buyers and generated record sales for the suburb.

<a href="/new-apartments/one-sydney-park-215-euston-road-alexandria"><img alt="" height="1088" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-06_at_10.44.29_am.png" width="1762" /></a>

Development Director for HPG Australia Barney Oros expected to appoint a construction company and commence site works before the end of the year.

&ldquo;We have deliberately stayed under the radar since launch and the Court process commenced, but now that we have planning certainty we are looking forward to communicating with the wider community the significant benefits we will be bringing to a disused industrial park,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;Obviously the architecture and landscaping is world class but the ecological benefits, introduction of deep soil into the site, long overdue amenities to this neglected southern end of Sydney Park for the public are all part of our vision for One Sydney Park,&rdquo; Oros said.

HPG has also announced a collaboration with&nbsp;world renown&nbsp;Japanese artist, Fujiko Nakaya who will be engaged to deliver a public art installation unlike any other in Sydney. Having gained international acclaim for her work with ephemeral fog sculptures, the proposed public art will provide a sensory transition between Sydney Park and the public plaza within the development.&nbsp;

Alexandria is set for a modern six-storey, mixed-use development on the busy Botany Road.

The $6.9 million project at 650 Botany Road has been submitted to council by the design, construction and development group Orisi, on behalf of private developer Michael Dalah.

There will be two&nbsp;ground level commercial tenancy, and five levels above homing just 20 apartments, just four one-bedroom apartments per floor. Some have living space up to 80 sqm.

The two commercial tenancy spaces will be positioned on either side of the residences at the ground floor.

<img alt="" height="830" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-04_at_8.46.12_am.png" width="812" />

The project will be finished with a white render, blending with the&nbsp;frameless glass balustrades and white powder-coated metal.

Balconies extend to the eastern and western facades, embellished with landscaping by Conzept Landscape Architects.

Breaking up the form, a staircase extending the six-floors is centrally located, leading foot traffic&nbsp;to the communal and expansive garden space. The staircase will also serve as a buffer, creating an extended level of space and distance between each residence.

Located just 200 metres walking distance north of Gardeners Road, the locality is undergoing quite a transformation, with a shift from the older style warehouse and commercial activities, into a mixed use location with residential components.

The site is well serviced by public transport options with regular bus services towards Central Station via Green Square and further buses towards Mascot, Botany, Redfern Kingsford and Marrickville.

The developers have lodged plans for a 20 unit mixed-use development on Botany Road. 

Boutique mixed-use development set for Sydney's Alexandria

Construction has commenced on the&nbsp;industrial Alex Collective apartments, in the heart of Sydney&#39;s inner-city suburb of Alexandria.

It&#39;s being developed by Alexa Development and built by Ceerose, who has just commenced construction on the four striking buildings designed by Andrew Burns.

They will home 163 apartments, taking design influences from the industrial suburb and featuring intricate brickwork, saw-tooth roofs, light wells and sky bridges.

Central to the four buildings which will reach&nbsp;four, seven, and eight storeys, is a garden designed by landscape architecture Site Image Group. There will be cabana-styled seating flanked by a magnesium pool.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29785 project_image_fid=91611]

Edward Doueihi, Managing Director of Ceerose, says the start of construction is an important milestone for Alex Collective and will add to Ceerose&rsquo;s impressive building portfolio.

&quot;We are delighted to bring this industrial inspired residential development to life. Andrew Burns&rsquo; intuitive design for Alex Collective with pattern brickwork and metallic cladding will further enhance the striking facade. Hundreds of jobs will be created during construction which will help the economy as we move out of lockdown.&rdquo;

The start of construction co-insides with the launch of Alex Collective&rsquo;s third building Cooper, a new collection of apartments and penthouses.

Daniel McMahon, Director of&nbsp;Residential at Colliers, says the market remains strong for high-quality apartments situated on Sydney&rsquo;s city fringe.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29785 project_image_fid=91571]

&quot;Stock is very low in the Inner West which has driven sales in Alex Collective. The project has had consistent sales results during the Sydney lockdown.&quot;

Over 70 per cent of the apartments in Cooper have sold since being launched in early September.

&ldquo;The release of Cooper is proof that demand continues for quality product in key Sydney locations,&quot; McMahon adds.

&quot;Alexandria has always been a highly sought-after location with its unique terraces, warehouse style apartments and heritage homes in a historic industrial-aged setting.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29785 project_image_fid=91605]

Over the past 12 months property prices in Alexandria have grown almost 7.05 per cent according to CoreLogic, a trend which McMahon says&nbsp;is expected to continue with significant infrastructure investment in neighbouring suburbs.

There will be&nbsp;expansive views on the upper levels of Cooper, towards the city skyline.

Prices start at $775,000 for a one-bedroom apartments, $1,155,000 for a two-bedroom apartment, and $1.75 million for the three bedders, which offer nearly 120 sqm of space.

Construction starts on the industrial-inspired Alexandria apartment development, Alex Collective

Birmingham, one of the boutique building&#39;s in Alexandria&#39;s Alex Collective in inner-Sydney, saw stellar sales at its launch at the weekend.

Around 40 per cent of the 46 apartments available sold through Colliers, with sales ranging from $770,000 to $2.1 million.

Owner-occupiers were the keenest of buyers, Colliers director of residential Daniel McMahon says.

&quot;Alex Collective&rsquo;s distinctive design features including intricate brick fa&ccedil;ade, large bay windows, environmentally-friendly features and recreational amenity have captured the attention of owner occupiers.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29785 project_image_fid=91611]

&quot;Buyers have recognised that alternative product in the market does not match the premium quality of Alex Collective&rsquo;s apartments.

&quot;Discerning purchasers are looking for a city-fringe apartment that is within easy reach of the CBD and also boasts a lifestyle that is social and active.

The apartments are part of The Birmingham, one of four apartments buildings that make up the 163-apartment development&nbsp;Alex Collective at 163-173 McEvoy Street, created in partnership between Ceerose and Alexa Development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29785 project_image_fid=91571]

Designed by architect Andrew Burns, The Birmingham features saw-tooth roofs, light wells and sky bridges.

McMahon says there&nbsp;is limited availability of quality apartments currently available for purchase around the city fringe.

&quot;Alexandria has always been a highly sought-after location with strong demand for warehouse style apartments in this historical industrial-aged location.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29785 project_image_fid=91605]

&quot;Price growth in some areas of the suburb have witnessed a 15 per cent growth surge within the last 12 months, which will only continue with infrastructure investment that is planned in the area.

&nbsp;&ldquo;Projects that offer a high-quality product in tightly held locations, supported by developers and builders with a strong track record of delivering quality developments are achieving strong sales results. Ceerose has ticked all these boxes with Alex Collective, which is resulting in consistent sales each week.&quot;

The upper level residences in Birmingham will have views toward the city skyline, Sydney Park and Alexandria&#39;s streetscapes. There are a number of private courtyard apartments, oriented to the north to maximise sunlight.

Edward Doueihi, Managing Director of Ceerose, says Alex Collective links Alexandria&nbsp;across a century of change.

&quot;The boutique development will deliver beautiful tailor-made homes with an industrial spirit, created with discerning owner-occupiers in mind.

&quot;Ceerose aims to create a benchmark for Alexandria and leave a legacy for the suburb and future generations.&rdquo;
