<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sunland-group">Sunland Group</a> has officially lodged plans for its first Gold Coast apartment project since the departure of the Abedian family from the company three years ago, unveiling a new high-rise proposal for a prominent Broadbeach corner site on Old Burleigh Road.

The application was submitted by an entity directed by Tom Jamieson, stepson of longtime Sunland leader Soheil Abedian, and Riaz Rezvanipour, brother-in-law of Sahba Abedian, Soheil’s son.

Sunland acquired the 1,283 sqm site on the corner of Old Burleigh Road and Armrick Avenue for $9.5 million late last year and is now seeking approval for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/99-101-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">42-storey tower with 81 apartments</a>.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/contreras-earl-architecture">Contreras Earl Architecture</a>, the proposed tower at 99-101 Old Burleigh Road would deliver a predominantly larger-format apartment mix aimed at the owner-occupier market. Plans include 17 two-bedroom apartments, 55 three-bedroom apartments, and nine four-bedroom residences across 35 residential levels.

The development also incorporates three basement levels, four podium parking levels, two levels of communal recreation facilities, and rooftop plant and equipment. A total of 189 car spaces are proposed, significantly exceeding the 90 spaces required under the planning scheme.

The architecture adopts a sculpted, curvilinear form, with deep wraparound balconies and integrated landscaping intended to soften the tower’s vertical expression. The planning report states the building’s “slender footprint/form provides a complimentary yet varied built form within the local streetscape” and contributes to “a varied, yet ordered skyline.”

Contreras Earl noted in its Architectural Statement that from the early stages, the project addressed a fundamental challenge: how to accommodate the required residential yield while avoiding the conventional model of a tower sitting on a rigid, fully resolved parking podium.

“The most direct response would have been to consolidate parking into a singular, flat podium and extrude a repetitive tower above,” the statement said. “While efficient, this approach would result in a consolidated built form with limited engagement with the surrounding landscape and public realm.”

Instead, the conventional podium model was “deliberately rejected”. The architects described the base of the building as “a landscaped architectural condition where structure, planting and circulation are integrated”.

“Rather than presenting a continuous built mass, the base of the building is articulated through a series of concrete planter elements that organise the podium into a fragmented system,” the statement said. “This approach reduces the perceived bulk of the lower levels while establishing a more permeable interface with the streetscape and adjacent open space.”

<img alt="Sunland" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="923fad8d-c960-4527-8fbe-975cf1ddf88d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-25%20at%2010.32.03%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=pngwb0hYOIUpq9vDw6F2EsOiVuHF3DiX" />

&nbsp;

The site sits within the High Density Residential Zone and inside the City of Gold Coast’s unrestricted “HX” building height area, where the planning framework anticipates intensified residential development tied to the expanding light rail corridor. The planning report notes the area is undergoing “transition toward more intense development forms” given its proximity to Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise, and high-frequency public transport infrastructure.

Positioned directly opposite Broadbeach Park and within walking distance of Florida Gardens light rail station, the development would sit among a rapidly evolving stretch of Old Burleigh Road that has become one of the Gold Coast’s most active apartment development corridors.

The application joins a growing pipeline of luxury residential projects reshaping Broadbeach, including nearby developments by 5Point Projects, Polycell, and Graya.

The planning report argues the project contributes toward the Gold Coast’s long-term housing targets under the South East Queensland Regional Plan, which forecasts the need for more than 100,000 additional high-rise dwellings across the city by 2046.

The Minns Labor Government has established the new Bays West Delivery Authority to lead the development&nbsp;of the Bays West Precinct and Blackwattle Bay Precinct.&nbsp;

The Authority is charged with creating Sydney’s newest precinct, a thriving, connected, sustainable hub with White Bay Power Station as its cultural heart. Its vision is to build on the area’s natural, cultural and industrial history to shape a vibrant new neighbourhood.

The precinct will deliver up to 8,500 well-located homes, including a minimum of 10 per cent affordable and essential worker homes. Combine new housing with public open space, opening public access to the waterfront for the first time in more than 100 years, while retaining important deep-water facilities to support Sydney’s working harbour.

Located just minutes from the Sydney CBD and connected to a world-class metro, ferry, walking and cycling links, the Bays West precinct will rebalance housing growth towards well-serviced inner-city locations and help tackle the state’s housing crisis.

The Bays West Delivery Authority,&nbsp;an agency of the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure, will report to the NSW Minister for Lands and Property who already has oversight of major precinct renewal projects including at Blackwattle Bay and Barangaroo.

As part of the broader Bays West transformation, the Minns Government recently announced that a proposal from Lendlease to redevelop part of the Bays West Precinct has progressed to Stage 2 of the NSW Government’s unsolicited proposals process.

<img alt="Sydney" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2ed71eb9-d8e8-4fa7-b9d1-de4531dcf2f3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-25%20at%209.42.31%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=IDryFIbped9SNDg72LEN_EecvhUsOPvp" />

The Minns Labor Government has also confirmed the Bays West precinct will have a new suburb name. This will be the first major suburb built in close proximity to Sydney’s CBD in decades and will encompass the area currently being referred to as Bays West, including Glebe Island and the White Bay Power Station. Served by a new Metro station just five minutes from the CBD, it will become one of the most populous suburbs in the Inner West and one of Sydney’s premier cultural destinations.

An early works program is taking shape, which&nbsp;includes the first stages of an international design competition.&nbsp;

The aim of the Bays West&nbsp;International&nbsp;Design Competition is to&nbsp;ensure design excellence is embedded in the project from the start. The competition will deliver an&nbsp;urban framework that defines the character, ambition and long-term identity of&nbsp;this&nbsp;former industrial precinct as it transitions to a vibrant, inclusive and sustainable residential&nbsp;neighbourhood.

The competition will be led by the Bays West Delivery Authority in partnership with Government Architect NSW.&nbsp;

It will launch with an invitation for a global Expressions of Interest, before moving to an invitation-only stage that will be assessed by a panel that&nbsp;will provide advice to Cabinet who will select a winner.

Premier of NSW, Chris Minns said the establishment of the new Authority is the first step in transforming the Bays West precinct into a vibrant, livable suburb minutes from the Sydney CBD and two stops from Hunter St Station on the Metro West line.

“The Authority will deliver well-located homes close to the heart of the city and integrate the new precinct with Blackwattle Bay and the new Sydney Fish Market.

“This is a generational opportunity to build a new suburb on the city’s edge and open the harbour foreshore to the public for the first time in a century.”&nbsp;

Minister for Lands and Property Steve Kamper said the new Bays West Delivery Authority established by the Minns Government will turbocharge the development of Sydney’s newest suburb.

“The Authority is working at a record pace to deliver an international design competition, planning pathways and a financial model so that this development benefits Sydney with well-designed homes in a central location, close to public transport, jobs, entertainment and essential services.

“If we want Sydney to stay liveable and affordable, we need to be bold about using underutilised government-owned land to deliver homes for the future while making sure essential working harbour functions can be accommodated.”

Bays West Delivery Authority established to "turbocharge" Sydney’s newest suburb

Around 400 additional homes could be built at Southwark Grounds on Port Road, lifting total site capacity from 1300 to around 1700 dwellings.

A recently approved code amendment would allow apartment towers of up to 14 storeys in some areas of Renewal SA’s redevelopment of the former West End Brewery.

Renewal SA Acting Chief Executive Shane Wingard said he welcomed the code amendment, with the increase in heights and homes making a positive impact on the supply of high-quality, well-connected housing close to the city.

“By going higher across some parts of Southwark Grounds, we are adding a substantial number of very well-located homes with little impact on project delivery time or planned open space,” Mr Wingard said.

Since the project officially launched in 2025, Mr Wingard said more than 12,000 enquiries had been received about living at Southwark Grounds.

“The very strong early interest we’ve seen since homes were first released in the precinct reinforces our plans to create more housing opportunities,” he said.

The Southwark Grounds code amendment was launched in December last year, with community engagement undertaken over five weeks from January.

It proposed increasing maximum building heights from eight to 14 storeys on the eastern section of Southwark Grounds, and to 12 storeys across the remainder of the site, with minimum building heights ranging from two to four storeys.

The code amendment was implemented through an Early Commencement policy in late January, allowing developers to quickly explore the viability of increased height and housing yield while other planning processes continue.

One of the first developers delivering apartment sites have already finalised redesigns to increase the number of apartments following the code amendment.

Samaras’ development adjacent to the future Colonel Light Park is now planning to deliver 125 apartments across 11 storeys, significantly greater than original plans of around 50 apartments across four storeys.

The developer is also exploring the potential for additional affordable housing outcomes.

Most of the apartments at Southwark Grounds will be delivered within a master-planned precinct on a large parcel of land on the eastern portion of the site, covering around two-thirds of its 8.4 hectares.

Wingard said detailed precinct planning over the coming months may identify further opportunities to increase yield further that could see total apartment numbers at Southwark Grounds, exceed this number.

Affordable homes at Southwark Grounds will also see a net increase, with Renewal SA maintaining its commitment to a minimum of 20 per cent affordable housing across the development.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Civil works have begun across the site, with construction under way on the first new roads surrounding a townhouse precinct in the south‑west corner of Southwark Grounds. This includes Renewal SA’s 17 Founder’s Row homes, which are on track for completion by Christmas.

“We expect to have people living at Southwark Grounds by the end of the year, so delivering roads and public spaces for those residents is among our highest priorities.”

Construction of 40 townhouses off Anderson Street, known as West Village and being delivered by Contour, is forecast to begin in mid‑2026. Kolabb’s Anderson Lane development will follow shortly after, delivering a further 26 townhouses.

Southwark Grounds is a state government‑led urban renewal project now set to deliver around 1,700 homes over the next decade.

Homes will be supported by a supermarket, a range of retail and hospitality offerings anchored by a revitalised Walkerville Brew Tower, a childcare centre, car parking and well‑connected public spaces.

400 new homes planned for Adelaide's former West End Brewery site

Brisbane developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/cavcorp">Cavcorp</a> has lodged plans for a new mixed-use residential development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/55-wyandra-street-teneriffe-qld-4005">55 Wyandra Street</a>, Teneriffe, anchored by an 85-metre public laneway designed to reconnect the suburb’s riverfront with the Gasworks precinct.

The buildings, known as Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane, would replace the existing Queensland Cotton head office site with a 15-storey residential tower transitioning to eight storeys toward Helen Street. The project has been designed by Plazibat Architects and lodged as a code assessable development application for 93 apartments across a 3,401 sqm mixed-use site within the Newstead and Teneriffe Waterfront neighbourhood plan.

Central to the scheme is the transformation of an existing service easement into a publicly accessible cross-block connection linking Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the new laneway will act as both a pedestrian shortcut and a landscaped civic space between the Teneriffe Riverwalk, ferry terminal, and Gasworks precinct.

<img alt="First Look: Cavcorp unveils Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane plans for landmark wellness tower in Teneriffe" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="26e7f058-b065-4de8-b13d-a2b8cb64dfcc" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/bldg.png?VersionId=sELS0ZKYi361oYipUa1BIKfe_.DLZoFV" />

“The revised proposal delivers a legacy public-realm cross-block link, permanently secured for community use, transforming an existing private easement into a safe, high-quality pedestrian connection between the Teneriffe heritage riverwalk and the Gasworks–Long Island precinct,” the planning report states.

The laneway will sit beneath a large subtropical loggia integrated into the podium levels of the development. The design incorporates deep landscaping, water gardens, lobby spaces, business lounges, and ground-floor apartments to create what Cavcorp describes as a climate-responsive “urban verandah.”

The tower itself has been designed as a slender form with recessed floorplates and curved translucent corners inspired by contemporary Japanese architecture. The building height aligns with the Commercial Road precinct controls, which permit towers up to 15 storeys within proximity to Longland Street.

<img alt="First Look: Cavcorp unveils Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane plans for landmark wellness tower in Teneriffe" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a8a17d40-43b6-4718-b3fd-67676fcbb485" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/pers%202_1.png?VersionId=i3VwDtp5AmL_8InW7w4qRbDFEpb744Jt" />

The project will comprise a mix of larger-format apartments aimed at owner-occupiers, downsizers, and families. The proposed apartment mix includes 11 loggia apartments across the lower levels, 50 four-bedroom Sky-Terrace apartments from levels three to seven, and 32 Sky-Pool Homes occupying the upper tower levels. The Sky-Pool Homes will feature private thermal plunge pools integrated into oversized balconies.

According to the application, the apartments are intended to reinterpret the scale and character of Teneriffe’s woolstore conversions and Queensland homes within a vertical residential format.

“The sky-pool homes build on Cavcorp’s previous projects and introduce a distinct apartment typology to Teneriffe, informed by both local and international precedent and responding to an identified market demand for enhanced safety, space and amenity,” the planning submission notes.

A major focus of the proposal is its five-level wellness and lifestyle offering, extending from the basement through to the rooftop.

Amenities proposed include a rooftop Swim &amp; Racquet Club with a 25-metre Olympic lap pool and tennis court, coworking spaces and libraries, golf simulators, wine storage, concierge facilities, business lounges, pet wash areas, and rooftop longevity-focused wellness spaces with spas, outdoor fitness zones, and landscaped terraces.

All parking will be concealed within basement levels accessed from Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the deep-basement engineering approach allows the entire ground plane to prioritise landscaping, pedestrian movement, and active frontage rather than vehicle infrastructure.

The development continues Cavcorp’s concentration in Newstead and Teneriffe, where the Brisbane developer has delivered a number of apartment projects including Lucent, Le Bain, and Luminare, as well as the Long Island Wellness Precinct nearby. Several of those projects have received national design and architecture awards, including recognition under Brisbane’s “Buildings that Breathe” program.

Focus Group Investments has lodged plans for a new apartment development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/64-70-hanover-street-fitzroy-vic-3065">64–70 Hanover Street</a> in Fitzroy, seeking to utilise the Victorian Government’s recently introduced Great Design Fast Track pathway to accelerate approvals for the project.

The proposal is among the latest developments to emerge through the state-led initiative, which was established to fast-track well-designed residential projects in activity centres and transport-connected inner-city locations. The pathway allows qualifying developments that meet elevated design and housing benchmarks to bypass traditional council planning timeframes and instead be assessed directly by the Department of Transport and Planning.

Designed by SJB, the development will comprise a mix of apartments above activated lower levels, with a strong focus on architectural articulation, landscaping, and communal amenity. The design response seeks to balance the industrial character of Richmond’s former warehouse precincts with a more contemporary residential form.

<img alt="First look: Focus Group Investments taps Victoria’s Great Design Fast Track for Richmond apartments" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="abea51cc-d85b-479e-9aef-a589f3b37ca7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/ground.png?VersionId=e1Kf8EyPWwyiVumtqQ4rM5S4GpOR3CCz" />

Proposed are 63 new dwellings, a wide ranging mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, and townhouses and duplexes. They will be spread across a part-three, part-eight storey building.

The Planning and Urban Context Report by Tract says the development is of an "exemplary architectural standard" and has been carefully crafted by SJB Architects.

"Dwellings&nbsp;will benefit from excellent access to natural light, cross-ventilation opportunities and extensive communal space," the report noted.

The architectural material highlights the project’s integration of landscaped elements and communal spaces throughout the building. The proposal also incorporates sustainability initiatives aligned with the Victorian Government’s push for higher-performing apartment developments under the fast-track program.

The Great Design Fast Track was unveiled by the Victorian Government in 2024 as part of a broader housing supply strategy aimed at accelerating the delivery of new homes. Projects assessed through the pathway must demonstrate high-quality architecture, sustainability outcomes, and housing diversity while being located close to public transport and existing infrastructure.

Focus Group, founder and led by Paul De Lutiis, is increasingly active across Melbourne’s inner suburbs, targeting well-connected urban renewal locations suited to medium and higher-density residential development. The Fitzroy proposal continues that strategy, leveraging the area’s strong transport links, established retail amenity, and proximity to the CBD.

Fitzroy has been one of the most popular spots for developers and buyers in recent years. The likes of PACE Development Group, SMA Projects, Crema Group and Chapter Group, currently selling projects in the suburb.

Apartment Development

Buying a home is likely the biggest purchase one will make in their lifetime.

And while the off the plan property market is quickly tarnished in the media, the truth is less than one percent of developments across Australia will face extensive defects, and the chances of those coming from a reputable developer are slim to none.

But now prospective buyers will be able to buy with full confidence and transparency of who they are buying from. Data analytics house Equifax, backed by the NSW Government, have created an independent construction industry ratings tool, or iCIRT,&nbsp;a star rating outcome on a firm&rsquo;s capability and willingness to deliver reliable and trustworthy built assets.

Equifax do a full sweep of the developer or builder with a fine tooth comb, analyzing their&nbsp;full&nbsp;financial and development history,&nbsp;before they are given the accreditation.

Urban Property Group CEO Patrick Elias says it&#39;s great to have a list that allows consumers a way of verifying developers past just the marketing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9202 project_image_fid=29159]

&quot;Unfortunately, the industry has been plagued with bad press from a few bad players which has concerned buyers. It is important for the development industry as a whole to give confidence back to consumers so that off the plan sales can start to gain momentum. More importantly it gives consumers a choice when looking to purchase.&quot;

Elias acted swiftly to secure the status as soon as it was announced.

&quot;By becoming an early adopter, we believe it really demonstrates the confidence we have in our business and brand.&quot;

One of Sydney&#39;s most prominent developers, Deicorp, were another among the first to apply and secure their rating.

Deicorp Chief Financial Officer Bruce Rayner said the list is an incredibly valuable tool for purchasers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29984 project_image_fid=170448]

&quot;It&#39;s a simple, ready reckoner of which builders and developers have the confidence to submit their business for assessment,&quot; Rayner says.

Deicorp have developed and delivered over 8,000 apartments since 1999, and Rayner says they understand&nbsp;how important purchaser confidence is in the buying decision.

&quot;Anything that helps buyers have confidence in their choice is very positive,&quot; Rayner added.

Rayner says that already&nbsp;some buyers are looking for rated developers when buying off the plan.

&quot;Over time, it will commonplace for buyers to seek out developers who have achieved a positive rating.&quot;

Another who moved quickly was the North Sydney-based Made Property Group, who have been creating high-end, multi-residential developments across Sydney for over two decades.&nbsp;One of their most recent was Crenelle, the luxury Neutral Bay collection of just 11 house-sized apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=23288 project_image_fid=194336]

Made also applied for the iCIRT rating&nbsp;soon as the accreditation was available.

&quot;We always had every intention of seeking to gain a rating as we see it as the most important new initiative in our industry in a long time,&quot; Made&#39;s Managing Director Davin Finn said.

&quot;Whilst the assessment was rigorous, time-consuming and thorough, if you have all the information, systems and processes ingrained in your business already and the performance history in place, it is a reasonably simple process. If you don&rsquo;t however, there is no hiding.&quot;

Finn said consumers deserve to have a high level of confidence and trust in their decision to purchase an off the plan property.

&quot;Purchasing a home is most likely the single biggest purchase anyone makes in their lifetime and to make the decision to purchase off the plan from a glossy brochure or display suite can seem a real leap of faith and can often feel like a gamble. It shouldn&rsquo;t ever be that way.&nbsp;It should be a time of excitement not trepidation or simply hoping for some luck.

&quot;The companies that achieve an iCIRT rating are the ones that have been proven to deliver on the marketing material promised at time of purchase.&quot;

<div>
Finn thinks it&#39;s crucial the industry promotes the existence of the rating system and advocates for consumers to deal with developers and builders from the list.&nbsp;

&quot;Whilst most purchasers will do their own due diligence, nothing can replace a rigorous and independent rating system which requires the industry to fully participate and engage and be marked on past performance, current and future capabilities, and open their financial books and businesses processes to a third party for assessment.

&quot;The independent rating system now provides a very useful tool for consumers to enable them to make informed decisions about who and what they choose to purchase and enable them to have confidence in that decision&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27691 project_image_fid=188218]
</div>

TOGA are currently working through the process. Their&nbsp;General Manager of Sales Anthony Falas says there will come a point in the future where people will only purchase off developers on the rating system, and everyone else will carry a risk having not been independently verified.

Dasco has been given a rating&nbsp;for its building arm, and is working through the process to get their developer status added. Platino Properties, who primarily develop in the lower north shore, also made the list.

Dasco&nbsp;General Manager, Martin Vaughan said the status&nbsp;is an important part of the group&#39;s future planning to be well-recognised not only by its industry peers, but also by the broader community.

&quot;DASCO has been an active participant in the industry since 1993. To be able to participate in the assessment process and be accredited by an independent body is important in maintaining our reputation for quality and security. To have been awarded a 4.5 Star rating is a significant achievement,&quot; he said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94147 project_image_fid=197727]

Vaughan&nbsp;outlined the assessment process as extremely rigorous, with&nbsp;an in-depth examination of all elements of Dasco&#39;s operation.

&quot;The Company was judged for its building quality and practices as well as its financial stability to provide an overall picture of the Company&rsquo;s recent and long-term performance,&quot; he added.&nbsp;

&quot;Dasco&#39;s Executive Directors&nbsp;saw this as an intrinsic step in demonstrating DASCO&rsquo;s credibility but also supporting the changes currently underway in the industry.&quot;

Vaughan said there were obvious benefits for the company to be highly rated by independent review, forming a significant part of the evaluation process for a potential buyer.&nbsp;

&quot;As more and more buyers become familiar with the rating system and understand it&rsquo;s reliability, it could become a significant list of reference to buyers seeking to by off-the-plan.&quot;

&quot;As the media and the NSW Building Commissioner continue to uncover more and more projects with structural issues, buyers will continue to feel apprehensive about buying off-the-plan unless a builder/developer has been deemed &lsquo;trustworthy&rsquo; by accredited parties,&quot; Vaughan said.&nbsp;

How iCIRT is changing the off the plan industry for the better: The Sydney developers to first secure the accreditation

Plus Architecture has won the design competition for a $100 million two-tower development on the site of a former big-format retailer in Newcastle.

The redevelopment of the 4726 sqm site at 711 Hunter Street will comprise 267 apartments across two towers rising to 90 metres, as well as 1,400 sqm of commercial space.

Along with the City of Newcastle, prominent Newcastle developers St&nbsp;Hilliers&nbsp;Property and Spotlight Group partnered to run the design competition, which St&nbsp;Hilliers&nbsp;Property project director Paul Smith said had unearthed the best architectural talent and ideas for the prominent West End site.

&ldquo;The quality of architectural design presented by Plus Architecture is really impressive and we look forward to further refining the design by incorporating the jury&rsquo;s recommendations before proceeding to the next phase,&rdquo; Smith said.

&ldquo;With a development of this significance, we will work closely with Plus Architecture to set sustainability targets and quality design outcomes during the more detailed development application phase, including a focus on thermal comfort, energy, waste and water.&rdquo;

<img alt="" height="897" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-02-17_at_9.45.00_am.png" width="1145" />

Unanimously selected, Plus Architecture&rsquo;s design included a &lsquo;meeting place&rsquo; concept, with a public domain to facilitate and encourage socialisation.

Plus Architecture Director Sumedh Kataria said that the news was a testament to Plus Architecture&#39;s vision, deep appreciation for community needs and team talent.

&ldquo;Projects that have the potential to change the face of a city, and its skyline into a new era, require an elevated element of design with beauty, form and end-use at the fore,&rdquo; Kataria said.

&ldquo;Our vision for this project is about creating a place that reflects the heart and soul of the city - past, future.

The Brisbane-based Consolidated Properties Group chief executive and chairman Don O&rsquo;Rorke says his &ldquo;formula for apartments has changed pretty significantly&rdquo; following the pandemic.

The shift was especially in terms of offering more space.

O&#39;Rorke noted it was being implemented in its Yeerongpilly, Cornerstone Living project at Coopers Plains.

And also will be implmented at its Toowong project at 600 Coronation Drive on the former ABC riverside site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13477 project_image_fid=55318]

&ldquo;The simple fact of it is &mdash; convenience and accessibility is an important factor for almost all purchasers,&rdquo; Mr O&rsquo;Rorke told The Australian.

He recently noted supply concerns.

&quot;We are seeing new enquiries and I think there is recognition that the supply won&rsquo;t be there in the medium to long term.

&quot;So there&rsquo;s certainly no chance of an oversupply, and probably an undersupply across all sectors of the apartment market including both investors as well as owner occupiers,&quot; he told UDIA Queensland CEO Kirsty Chessher-Brown in a recent forum.

&quot;We are looking to be optimistic about things,&quot; O&#39;Rorke noted

He also noted that the HomeBuilder stimulus packages seemed to be targeted towards house and land, rather than apartments, adding &quot;house and land is very much a here and now experience, whereas apartments is a commitment to an acquisition in two years&rsquo; time, so there&rsquo;s a different sentiment running through that product.&quot;

Other works the award winning firm is involved in at the moment include, Canvas, Hawthorn Park and Port Lane.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3783 project_image_fid=147461]

<h2>3. Historical Significance</h2>

One of the most unique elements of One&nbsp;Coburg Quarter&nbsp;is that it incorporates the bluestone walls which were once part of the Pentridge Prison which once sat on the site.

Her Majesty's Prison Pentridge&nbsp;was an&nbsp;Australian&nbsp;prison that was first established in 1851 and was closed in&nbsp;1997.

Rising on&nbsp;Urquhart Street, Coburg is surrounded by the old Pentridge Prison site, Coburg Town Hall, the farmers market and a multitude of eclectic cafes and restaurants.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3783 project_image_fid=144843]

<h2>5. Amenities on offer</h2>

Some of the luxuries on offer in the development include&nbsp;access to&nbsp;a residents’ bar and lounge with a stone wall built-in fireplace, a kitchen and a library, as well as&nbsp;a sky garden with a barbecue, seating and city views on the top level.

Supermarkets, cafes, schools, medical clinics and multiple public transport options are just a few short steps from your front doorstep.

<h2>6. Timeless Design</h2>

On offer are a selection of one and two-bedroom floorplans, each with state-of-the-art kitchens. Mirrored splashbacks, integrated appliances and 4-burner gas hobs can be found in all kitchens. Matte black tapware and minimalist sinks, add a sense of timeless modernity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3783 project_image_fid=28884]

<h2>7. Affordable Priced&nbsp;</h2>

Here are Urban's five favorite things about Sandringham:

[smartcode_project:default project_id=324]

<h2>1. Location ideal for work-life balance</h2>

Just 30 minutes from Melbourne CBD via Nepean Highway, and an hour to Mornington Peninsula, Sandy Hill could offer the perfect work-life balance, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy being on the water or amongst nature on the weekends.

Sandy Hill Penthouse in Melbourne's bayside suburb of Sandringham offers some of the most varied amenities within just two kilometres from its sought-after Bay Road location.

The residences are located in the sought after bayside area of Sandringham, with world-class amenities within walking distance from the property. 

<h2>2. Lavish Interiors</h2>

<a href="/buildings/sandy-hill-penthouse-222-bay-road-sandringham" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/sandy_hil_interiors.jpg"></a>

The attention to detail of these properties is meticulous. Kitchens feature exquisite marble benchtops and splashbacks with five-burner gas hobs and lavish island breakfast bars.

Plus parquetry flooring can be found throughout the home, with built-in fireplaces creating a cosy atmosphere to sit back, relax and enjoy the panoramic views through the expansive stacker slider doors which also extend to a private balcony.

Bathrooms feature dual vanities, with stylish oval vanity mirrors and timber joinery. The walk-in shower is fully tiled, with a built-in shower nook and rainfall showerhead. 

<h2>3. Luxurious amenities inside and out</h2>

The amenities start immediately without leaving the building, with an IGA conveniently located on the ground level of the block.

Heading east, or right, out of the front doors down Bay Road, immediately next door is the lush Bay Road Reserve and Bay Road Heathland Sanctuary, the latter protected by the City of Sandringham council as it is one of the last remaining areas of the iconic "Sandringham Flora" that once covered Melbourne's south east.

Just over 500 metres away is Fitness First, although there's a resident's only fully-equipped gym and infinity pool in the block. 

<h2>4. Enjoy the view from every room</h2>

<a href="/buildings/sandy-hill-penthouse-222-bay-road-sandringham" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/sandy_hill_balcony.jpg"></a>

Luxury living has been redefined, with sensational panoramic vistas from every room, and large open plan living areas providing ample space for entertaining. 

Overlook the beautiful bay from your wrap-around terrace that boasts stunning views out to the city and Dandenong Ranges. 

<h2>5. Everything else on offer nearby</h2>

Exit to the east and on Bay Road is Bad Shepherd Brewing Co., on the corner of Bay and Reserve Road, which is just 1.3 kilometres away.

At the end of Bay Road is Westfield Southland which homes around 400 retailers.

Coming out of Sandy Hill Penthouse and turning left to the west there's a 7-eleven on the way to a short two-kilometre trip to Sandringham Station, which from there is less than a 30-minute commute into the city centre.

That's located at the south end of Sandringham Beach where there's a string of near beachside restaurants and cafe's including The Sandy, Port of Call and Black Squirrel Cafe.

Just one street behind Sandy Hill Penthouse is Sandringham College, more greenery with Merindah Park which is a few minutes away you'll find a mini golf course and a golf driving range.
