Melbourne developer Spacious Group has completed Voyage Altona, one of the closest new apartment developments to Altona Beach.

Off the plan purchasers have started moving into the 49-apartment project on Pier Street, with the remaining move-in-ready one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments starting from just over $500,000.

Display apartments have now been fitted out, allowing prospective buyers to inspect the completed residences by appointment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112195 project_image_fid=372638]

The completed apartments feature open-plan living and dining areas which extend onto private balconies and terraces, while full-height glazing maximises natural light throughout the interiors.&nbsp;

Hybrid timber-look flooring, stone benchtops, Miele appliances, porcelain-tiled bathrooms and generous storage feature throughout the building which also features landscaped communal areas, expansive shared terraces, lift access and secure on-grade parking.

Drawing inspiration from its bayside setting, Voyage adopts a restrained palette of warm neutral tones and textured finishes. Many of the apartments take advantage of views across Port Phillip Bay, while the indoor-outdoor living spaces have been designed to make the most of the coastal outlook.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112195 project_image_fid=3286]

Voyage was developed to address what Spacious Group identified as an undersupply of higher-quality apartment product in Altona, with a focus on owner-occupiers looking to remain within the bayside community.

"Voyage responds to very strong local buyer demand for quality, owner-occupier-focused product," says Barry Plant Projects Director Jarrod Farey, who has handled sales since the project's launch.

"The project delivers an elevated lifestyle proposition, with its design and quality of finish far exceeding anything previously produced in the area, as well as its proximity to Pier Street Village and the beach."

The majority of purchasers have been local downsizers and owner-occupiers looking to stay within the Altona community but who previously had limited opportunities to buy a brand-new apartment.

Homecorp has secured approval for a $360 million apartment development at Budds Beach, paving the way for one of the Gold Coast's most amenity-rich residential projects to launch later this year.

Gold Coast City Council has approved Lýon Residences, a 32-level tower that will deliver 178 two and three-bedroom apartments across a prominent corner site at 8-10 Acacia Avenue and 25-27 Oak Avenue.

The approval comes as developers continue to invest in premium lifestyle-driven apartment projects on the Gold Coast, where owner occupiers are increasingly prioritising amenity as much as apartment size and location.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/l-on-residences-25-27-oak-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Lýon Residences</a> has been designed around a resort-style wellness offering, headlined by a Moroccan-inspired spa precinct featuring treatment rooms, a Nordic sauna and steam room, hot and cold plunge pools, a soaking pool and a residents-only juice bar.

The rooftop will include a heated infinity pool and spa, residents' lounge with private kitchen and bar, gymnasium, yoga and Pilates studio, outdoor entertaining areas and barbecue facilities overlooking the Surfers Paradise skyline.

<img alt="Lyon" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2d3e29af-8793-486e-a684-52cef862241f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-15%20at%204.32.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ayG2zpLf3SS6Zy8XmKDcQods4kVWb0gm" />

Homecorp Founder and CEO Ron Bakir said Budds Beach provided the ideal location for the company's latest luxury apartment project.

"Budds Beach represents one of the most unique and sought-after pockets of the Gold Coast, and Lýon Residences has been designed to reflect that sense of rarity and refinement," Bakir said.

The project arrives as wellness continues to become a defining feature of new residential developments both in Australia and internationally.

The latest Global Wellness Institute figures show wellness real estate remains the fastest-growing segment of the global wellness economy and is forecast to exceed $1.8 trillion by 2030. Australia continues to rank among the world's 15 largest wellness real estate markets, with developers increasingly integrating health, recreation and community facilities into apartment projects.

Queensland is also experiencing strong population growth, with the Gold Coast continuing to outperform many other Australian cities as demand for new housing remains elevated ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Bakir said the project had been designed to respond to that shift in buyer expectations.

"Strong population growth and sustained demand across the Gold Coast continue to highlight the need for well-designed new housing supply. Lýon Residences responds directly to this demand while setting a new benchmark for residential living," he said.

Each apartment has been designed to maximise views across the coastline, the Nerang River and the Gold Coast hinterland.

Located just minutes from Surfers Paradise beach and the Broadwater, the development also offers easy access to the light rail network, Broadbeach and Burleigh Heads.

Early site works are underway, with construction expected to commence later this year.

New apartment developments with uninterrupted, north-facing views over Perth's Swan River are exceptionally rare.

Recognising just how limited those opportunities are, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/edge-visionary-living">Edge Visionary Living</a>, one of Perth's most respected builder-developers, targeted <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/applecross-wa-6153">Applecross</a>, assembling an unrepeatable 6,342 sqm riverfront site on the corner of Moreau Mews and Canning Beach Road to create one of Perth's only new north-facing apartment developments directly overlooking the Swan River.

Today, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/riviere-residences-applecross-59-canning-beach-road-applecross-wa-6153">Rivière Residences</a> offers buyers a unique opportunity to choose between completed residences ready to move into now and off-the-plan homes in the final stage, Rivière West.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28384 project_image_fid=3823]

Across the completed East and Central buildings, residents are already enjoying the development's luxury amenity, while two of the precinct's hospitality venues are now open.

The completed component of the development gives buyers the advantage of experiencing the finished product firsthand, including its uninterrupted river views, while still having the opportunity to secure a residence in the final stage.

"People are wowed by the view and the quality of the apartments,"&nbsp;Edge Visionary Living Sales Executive, Holly McSweeney, says.

"They're looking for the convenience of lock-and-leave living, but they're not looking to downsize on quality."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28384 project_image_fid=3826]

The rarity of the development hasn't been lost on prospective buyers, McSweeney says.

For McSweeney, it all comes back to a location that is becoming increasingly difficult to replicate.

"Location, location, location," she says. "We are nestled right on the front of the Swan River. You can never get built out, so wherever you are in Rivière Residences, you've got views of the river forever."

The unique waterfront position has resonated particularly strongly with local downsizers. McSweeney says many buyers are long-time Applecross residents looking to transition from large family homes into a luxury apartment without sacrificing space, quality or the lifestyle they've enjoyed for decades.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/N_FowNW0wu8?si=vb25XFq1wZ-iufAW" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

A major focus for Edge in recent years has been resident amenity. Across its apartment portfolio, from beachfront developments in Scarborough to luxury towers in South Perth, the developer has increasingly invested in the spaces beyond the apartment itself.

The strategy has largely been shaped by downsizer demand. Many buyers are moving from large family homes with swimming pools and established gardens. While they're looking to leave the maintenance behind, they don't want to compromise on lifestyle.

At Rivière, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/hillam-architects">Hillam Architects</a> designed the resident facilities as an extension of each apartment. A 25-metre heated swimming pool takes advantage of the north-facing river outlook, complemented by a large gym, sauna and steam rooms, private dining spaces, residents' lounges, a cinema, games room, and dedicated wine and whisky rooms.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28384 project_image_fid=372542]

The waterfront location has also proved to be a major drawcard. Residents are within walking distance of the Raffles Hotel, South of Perth Yacht Club, the Heathcote Cultural Precinct and the cafés, restaurants and boutiques along Ardross Street.

Beyond the location and amenity, McSweeney says many buyers take confidence from Edge's fully integrated development model.

Having delivered apartments across Perth for decades, Edge now designs, develops and constructs its projects in-house, giving the company greater control over quality, delivery and the finished product.

"What I love is when people walk through their apartment for the first time and say, 'This is better than what we imagined,'" McSweeney says. "We hear that all the time."

Completed apartments in the East and Central buildings are now available to inspect by appointment, while Rivière West, the final stage of the precinct, is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2027.

Nearly 60 per cent of apartments at McNab Group's $220 million The Tannery development in Brisbane's West End have sold ahead of the project's public launch, including a suburb-record $2.57 million sale for a two-bedroom apartment.

The early sales campaign has secured buyers for 50 of the project's 87 apartments, highlighting continued demand for larger owner-occupier apartments that combine generous floorplans with premium lifestyle amenities in one of Brisbane's most tightly held inner-city suburbs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374768]

McNab Group Executive Chairman Michael McNab said selling more than half the project before launch reflected changing buyer expectations.

"Selling more than half the project before public sales open tells us buyers are actively seeking apartments that offer something genuinely different," McNab said.

"Today's buyers are looking beyond four walls. They want homes that genuinely enhance the way they live, with spaces that support health, connection and everyday wellbeing."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374767]

A key point of difference for the project is the adaptive reuse of the heritage-listed Dixon's Tannery building, which will become The Retreat, a residents-only wellness precinct rather than being redeveloped into additional apartments.

The Retreat will feature a sauna and steam room, hot and cold plunge pools, a commercial-grade gym, Pilates studio, cinema, library, co-working spaces and private dining room. Rooftop amenities will include a swimming pool, landscaped gardens, outdoor entertaining areas and dog-friendly spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374760]

Designed by Cottee Parker Architects with interiors by Tom Mark Henry and landscape architecture by Aspect Studios, The Tannery comprises 87 two, three and four-bedroom apartments across 11 levels overlooking the Brisbane River.

Cottee Parker principal Dee Passenger said preserving the original tannery building had been central to the project's design.

"The easy option would have been to maximise the site's development potential with additional apartments. Instead, McNab has chosen to preserve the original tannery as a shared wellness retreat, ensuring this important piece of Brisbane's history remains at the heart of the community."

Passenger said sustainability also played a key role in the design, with materials from the original industrial site salvaged and repurposed throughout the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374761]

Motiv CEO Carly Cottam said buyers had responded strongly to the combination of larger apartments, wellness facilities and the West End lifestyle.

"We are seeing more buyers looking for homes in the sky that provide the space and functionality of a traditional home, while benefiting from the convenience and lifestyle that apartment living brings," Cottam said.

She said purchasers included both owner occupiers and investors, with demand coming from local buyers as well as interstate purchasers.

Coinciding with the public launch, McNab also announced a partnership with Queensland Ballet, whose neighbouring Thomas Dixon Centre shares historical ties with the original Dixon family.

Located on a 4,465 sqm site at 439 Montague Road, The Tannery overlooks the Brisbane River and is around 10 minutes from the CBD.

Construction is underway, with completion expected in the second half of 2027.

Iwan Sunito's vision for a landmark mixed-use precinct in Sydney's Inner West has taken a major step forward, with approval granted for the $1.9 billion Five Dock development first unveiled earlier this year.

The approved scheme by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/one-global-capital">One Global Capital</a> will deliver an 80,500 sqm mixed-use precinct comprising 840 apartments, integrated hotel accommodation, commercial and retail space, alongside publicly accessible open space designed to create a new destination for the growing suburb.

"This is a significant milestone for One Global Capital and for the future of housing delivery in Sydney," Sunito said.

"The Housing Delivery Authority was established to identify major housing projects capable of delivering meaningful supply more efficiently, and we are delighted that Spencer Street has been recognised as one of those projects.”

He said the declaration reflected the rapid progress achieved since acquiring control of the site.

"In less than seven months we have progressed from taking control of the site to securing entry into one of the NSW Government's most important planning pathways. It reflects the experience of our team, the strength of our consultant group led by Urbis, and our long-term commitment to delivering transformational projects that contribute to Sydney's future."

When the project was revealed earlier this year, Sunito described the opportunity as one of the strongest development sites he had worked on.

"I probably hadn't appreciated the uniqueness of the site until more recently when putting together the concept plans," Sunito said.

"The proximity to the water, and the golf course opposite, is unlike any other part of Parramatta Road. We have a unique position and view corridors over the water that makes this one of the best sites I've worked on."

The development has evolved since its initial announcement, with the approved plans increasing the residential component from the originally proposed 750 apartments to 840 homes while retaining the project's focus on creating an integrated neighbourhood rather than a standalone residential development.

The precinct will combine apartments with hotel accommodation, commercial workplaces, retail offerings and public spaces, creating a mixed-use environment intended to serve both residents and the broader Five Dock community. The proposal also continues the collaboration between One Global Capital and internationally recognised architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/koichi-takada-architects">Koichi Takada</a>, whose previous work with Sunito includes Infinity, Arc and Skye North Sydney.

Takada previously said the design was driven by a philosophy of integrating nature into the built environment.

"The concept for this development is born from our design approach to naturalising architecture," Takada said.

"The public realm benefits from biophilic design that integrates generous landscaping, and the development is optimised for natural daylight, airflow and water views to foster wellbeing, sustainability and spaces that foster community interaction."

Sunito has consistently described the project as a "city within a city", with a strong emphasis on creating a destination that extends beyond housing.

"We want to create a development that's not only to be seen, but to be experienced by the whole local community," he said.

The approval comes as Five Dock continues its transformation ahead of the opening of the Sydney Metro West line, with the new Five Dock station set to significantly improve connections between the Inner West, Parramatta and the Sydney CBD.&nbsp;

The precinct will also benefit from its proximity to the Parramatta Road corridor, nearby waterfront parklands and established retail and dining offerings that have made Five Dock one of Sydney's most tightly held Inner West suburbs.

Macquarie, the oldest farm and oldest continuing residence west of the Great Divide, has been listed for July 5 auction.
The 1820s convict barracks and the homestead, built a few years later, have been restored by Paul and Bonny Hennessy, who became just the third owners of the property in 2012.
When the Hennessys secured the property, the homestead was uninhabitable.
Since then they have employed more than 250 tradespeople and labourers.
<a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/https://raywhiteemc.com/properties/rural/nsw/bathurst-2795/mixed-farming/2115294" target="_blank">The 1150 acre Macquarie</a> is situated 12 kilometres south-east of Bathurst at The Lagoon.
With its early Colonial/Georgian homestead, Macquarie contains part of the original 1000 acre land grant to Lieutenant William Lawson by Governor Lachlan Macquarie as Lawson’s reward for his contribution in finding a way across the Blue Mountains.
Lawson was to become fond of Macquarie and in his honour renamed Discovery Farm after him, apparently following a Vice-Regal visit during one of Macquarie's tours of inspection.
Macquarie, in it’s 200 years of colonial history, has only had two owners prior to the Hennesseys.   
It had remained in the Lawson family until 1918 when it was sold to the McKibbin family.
One of the McKibbin's was Tom McKibbin who lived at Macquarie with his wife, Edith.
A colourful character, Tom was an Australian Test cricketer n the 1890s whose 1896 tour of England saw his bowling action the subject of some controversy.
Bill Marshall and Pat Bird at Ray White have the listing.

Alloway Bank, the historic NSW Bathurst district estate of the colonial ­customs collector, Captain John Piper, has been sold.
After spending just short of three years on the market, the property fetched $2.15 million, within its steadfast guide of $1,995,000 to $2.4 million.
It was sold by Century 21 Bathurst agent Tom ­Clyburn, who took on the listing earlier this year.
The buyers are a family from Bondi Junction whose forebears, George (pictured) and William Suttor, were the second owners of the Eglinton residence.
The house, rebuilt in the 1870s with Flemish bond brickwork, sits on 11 hectares.
Its European settlement dates back to an 1827 land grant from Governor Thomas Brisbane to Piper who relocated to the farm after losing the Point Piper harbourfront, Henrietta Villa.
After the 1838 drought, the wool slump and 1840s depression, Piper was also forced to sell Alloway Bank to the pastoral Suttor family in 1845. It last sold in 1995 for $580,000.

Macquarie, the oldest farm and oldest continuing residence west of the Great Divide, is set for an open day after its recent restoration.
The 1820s convict barracks and the homestead, built a few years later, have been restored and the formal rooms will be <a href="https://www.nationaltrust.org.au/event/macquarie-open-day/" target="_blank">open for viewing</a>.
A plaque will be unveiled by former Governor of New South Wales, Dame Marie Bashir, patron of the Macquarie Society this weekend. 
Circumstantial evidence supports the assertion Macquarie is the oldest farm and oldest continuing residence west of the Great Divide.
It contains the original 1000 acre land grant to Lieutenant William Lawson by Governor Lachlan Macquarie as Lawson’s reward for his contribution in finding a way across the Blue Mountains.
Lawson was to become fond of Lachlan Macquarie, and in his honour renamed Discovery Farm as Macquarie, apparently in honour of a Vice-Regal visit during one of Macquarie's tours of inspection.
Macquarie, in it’s  200 years of European history, has only had two owners prior to the Hennessey’s, namely, the Lawson and McKibbin families.

For the past five years Paul and Bonny Hennessy have been working to save for posterity the most historic curtilage west of the Great Divide in particular, the early Colonial/Georgian homestead.
When they secured the property, the homestead was uninhabitable.
The two storey convict barracks were falling down.
It was the first farm over the mountains when 100 head of cattle moved on to the property in 1815.

Around three quarters of all residential sales in Bathurst are between $300,000 and $500,000, according to Herron Todd White’s latest monthly market report.
The property advisory firm noted a correlation between the sale price and the average income in the area.
It advised the majority of home owners are able to service mortgages at these prices.
The size to which dwellings can be built is determined by this limitation in relation to the cost of construction.
In this bracket properties range from slightly dated 60 year old three bedroom, one bathroom dwellings to modern brick veneer four bedroom dwellings with an en suite.
At $500,000 such a dwelling could comprise over 200 square metres of living area alone.
An example would be a four bedroom home at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-bathurst-123592886" target="_blank">6 McLean Street</a> (pictured above) that is for sale for $519,000.
HTW noted a new limitation is then reached in that there is a point when a dwelling can be too large for practical purposes.
"That corresponds with why the majority of properties at $600,000 or more comprise small acreage," the report said.
At the moment anything under $300,000 is being snapped up as soon as it is available. The reason that there are not as many sales in this price bracket is because fewer become available. Although new dwellings continue to comprise a large percentage of sales, this is influenced by the lack of listings that are currently becoming available in established areas.
"This would also skew the areas of higher activity, but not necessarily the level of change in value," the HTW report said.
"This is further influenced by the personal circumstances of purchasers determining the time frame available to allow location to be as important a determinant as the need for accommodation."

NSW's centres of Bathurst/Orange have been a rising market for houses while units are at the start of the recovery cycle, according to valuation firm Herron Todd White's property clock -- a simple broad brush means of suggesting where property prices are and what direction they're headed. 
Like Sydney, the larger centres of Bathurst and Orange include a collection of suburbs. Surrounding the established areas and retail districts, the suburbs have their own characters as a result of previous, current, and planned development.
Google Maps shows the localities around Bathurst including Gormans Hill, Kelso, Robin Hill, Llanarth, Windradyne and Eglinton. Around Orange there is Glenroi, Warrendine, Calare and Bletchington. Neither of these is an exhaustive list.
The suburbs compete and can exceed in terms of land value with central localities, particularly if they have, or plan to have, large modern houses and good amenities. The variability, and sometimes the inferiority, of older central development can hold those areas back. In addition the market power of families who on average prefer a modern house and surroundings, as opposed to the relative market power of retirees and students who, for example, prefer to be closer to town, evens out the market.
In terms of investment, student-specific accommodation has reduced the demand and volatility for central accommodation in the general market, while incomes are a determinant of what can be achieved in the suburbs. 
Property Observer looked up recent sales in some of the fringe suburbs such as Gormans Hills (Bathurst) on www.realestate.com.au.
1. The median house price in Gorman Hills is $295,000, according to CoreLogic RP Data. No data was available for units. Among the recently sold was a four-bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-gormans+hill-122431910" target="_blank">46 Fish Parade Gormans Hill NSW 2795</a> for $275,000.

NSW’s Bathurst (postcode 2795), one of Australia's oldest inland settlements, sits on the list of the most-searched suburbs in Australia in 2015 by rent.com.au.
The median rent for all rental properties advertised in Bathurst in the 30 days till February was $312 per week, up 4.17 percent or $12.50 from the previous quarter. 
The surrounding suburbs of Gormans Hill, Kelso, Mitchell, South Bathurst and West Bathurst, however, had a median rental of $350 in the 30-day period, and showed no change over a 90-day period too.
The average days on market for all rental properties advertised in Bathurst within the 90 days monitored was 29 days, nine days shorter than the previous quarter and 11 less than surrounding suburbs.
The price range was relatively narrow for properties advertised in the 30 days, with the lowest at $160 per week for a one-bedroom place and $440 pw being the highest for five-bedroom dwellings.
A total of 92 rental properties were advertised in Bathurst in the 30-day period, up four from the previous 30 days. Of these, there were 71 houses and 21 apartments. 
The regional city’s property composition made up for 72.3 percent houses and 27.7 percent apartments, according to <a href="https://rent.com.au" target="_blank">rent.com.au</a>’s report. 
Bathurst has a total of 1,389 rental properties, making up 48.9 percent of all properties in Bathurst (ABS, Census Data, 2011). 
Property Observer zeroes in on two examples of recently advertised dwellings around the median price on <a href="https://rent.com.au" target="_blank">rent.com.au</a>:
