Brisbane’s riverfront is about to welcome Queensland’s most ambitious wellness living precinct, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/kokoda-property">Kokoda Property Group</a> unveiling nearly 12,000 sqm of dedicated health, fitness and social amenity within its $1.5 billion Teneriffe Banks development, the largest of its kind in the state.&nbsp;

Australia is now the four largest market in the USD 584 billion Global Wellness Real Estate sector, and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/teneriffe-banks-17-27-skyring-terrace-teneriffe-qld-4005">Teneriffe Banks</a> is setting the benchmark locally, offering residents a complete lifestyle precinct that balances wellness, community and luxury.

From rooftop wellness retreats and 5-star co-working spaces to curated retail and dining, lush green spaces and riverfront walkways, the development has been designed as an ecosystem for modern living. Community gardens, a riverfront amphitheatre and community centre further anchor Teneriffe Banks as a destination that connects residents and the wider community in a way Brisbane has never seen before.&nbsp;

Each of the four residential buildings offers an expansive rooftop retreat featuring infinity pools, mineral plunge pools, hydrotherapy zones, and steam and sauna suites. These spa-level amenities eliminate the need for external memberships, seamlessly integrating exercise, recovery and relaxation into daily life.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139896 project_image_fid=352274]

Residents of Teneriffe Banks will enjoy exclusive access to The Canopy Club, one of Brisbane’s largest private members' venues. Drawing inspiration from international icons like Soho House but uniquely tailored for Brisbane, the club will feature private dining rooms, a wine cellar and tasting lounge, library, cinema, sports simulator and five-star work spaces, overlooking the Brisbane River.&nbsp;

Complementing this lifestyle is Banks Athletic, a private, residents-only health club offering personalised fitness and holistic wellness programs.

The precinct will also be home to Brisbane’s first five-star Kimpton Hotel Urban Resort, offering guests access to a luxury spa, a fitness centre, signature restaurants, pool club, rooftop cocktail bar and large-scale event spaces. Also forming part of the masterplan is a proposed reimagined marina and landscaped green spaces and gardens among a curated collection of waterfront restaurants, laneway cafes, and boutiques — creating a complete live, work, play lifestyle.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139896 project_image_fid=295098]

A recent report by Global Wellness Institute found Australia boasts one of the world’s fastest-growing wellness economies, growing at an annual rate of 7.5 per cent from 2019-2023.

“Luxury living today is about more than just design, it is about how well a place supports mind, body and connection,” said Kokoda Property Group Founder and Managing Director, Mark Stevens.

“With Australia now ranked among the world’s top five global wellness real estate markets, Teneriffe Banks has been designed to meet that growing demand. By blending curated wellness spaces with riverfront greenery and vibrant community amenities, the precinct will set a new benchmark for holistic urban living.”&nbsp;

Stephens said that wellness-focused design is resonating strongly with downsizers and lifestyle-driven buyers alike.&nbsp;

“We’re seeing overwhelming interest from buyers who are drawn to the idea of expansive amenity beyond their own residence, particularly those seeking space without the upkeep. The ability to enjoy a sunrise coffee by the rooftop pool, or build movement and recovery into their daily routine without leaving home, is a drawcard. Low maintenance, high impact living is what today’s market is looking for, and that’s exactly what Teneriffe Banks delivers."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139896 project_image_fid=352273]

Set across five architecturally distinct buildings, Teneriffe Banks will deliver over 200 residences, ranging from apartments to modern penthouse residences and woolstore-inspired lofts, each crafted by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/studio-mccue">Studio McCue</a>, in collaboration with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cottee-parker-architects">Cottee Parker Architects</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/carr-design">Carr</a>.&nbsp;

Further reflecting its commitment to fostering an active, connected lifestyle along the river, Teneriffe Banks is now the naming partner of the Brisbane Marathon Pacers, now known as the ‘Tenerrife Banks Pacers’. The Brisbane Marathon hosts over 10,000 participants from around the world and is only growing in size.&nbsp;

Kokoda's Teneriffe Banks introduces Queensland’s largest residential wellness offering

Summary:&nbsp;

<ul type="disc">
	<li>A new&nbsp;Golden Age Cinema&nbsp;with multiple screens and creative performance spaces</li>
	<li>Approximately&nbsp;60 metres of retail frontage&nbsp;along Oxford Street for small-scale, street-activating businesses</li>
	<li>53 apartments, including 15 affordable housing apartments</li>

<hr />
&nbsp; 
Developer WT Malouf has confirmed plans to transform the much-loved Verona Cinema site on Oxford Street in&nbsp; Paddington into a new mixed-use destination centred on culture, creativity and community.

The proposal, a State Significant Development Application (SSDA), will deliver a balanced mix of uses including 53 apartments, including 15 affordable, a new Golden Age Cinema with multiple screens and creative performance spaces, and several small-scale, street-activating businesses across its 60 metres of retail frontage.

The development will retain the Verona’s iconic brick façade, recognising the building’s role in Paddington’s cultural life for nearly three decades.

<img alt="Verona" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="efed0828-5cc4-4d77-a6df-83e7fa5d24ea" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-03%20at%209.19.31%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=xHbLRgjfTSkScuLsLW_nRjX0Zi5Cwalo" />

WT Malouf has entered into exclusive arrangements with the operators of Golden Age Cinema &amp; Bar, a much-loved Surry Hills institution named among the Top 100 Cinemas in the World by Time Out. Golden Age will bring four screens and versatile creative spaces back to Paddington, helping to anchor Oxford Street’s future as a cultural and entertainment corridor. 
&nbsp; 
“At a time when Sydney is losing suburban cinemas, we’re committed to creating a bigger and better cinema experience for Paddington,” said Jack Joseph, Director at WT Malouf.

“Golden Age’s arrival will ensure Oxford Street continues to be a home for independent film, live performance and community events.” 
&nbsp; 
The project has been designed in line with the City of Sydney’s Oxford Street Cultural and Creative Precinct strategy, which encourages new investment in cultural space, night-time economy and creative industries. It also aligns with the NSW 24-Hour Economy Strategy, contributing to the revival of Oxford Street as a safe, vibrant and connected cultural precinct that operates by day and night.

&nbsp; 
“This development is about more than apartments,” Joseph said. “It’s about contributing to Oxford Street’s restoration as one of Sydney’s great cultural boulevards, where people come to live, create and socialise.” 
&nbsp; 
‘’The new Verona is a once -in-a-generation opportunity to restore this important part of Oxford Street,’’ said Tim Greer, Director of Tonkins Zulaikha Greer (TZG). 
&nbsp; 
Alongside cultural and creative space, the Verona development will deliver new housing in one of Sydney’s most tightly held suburbs. 15 apartments will be set aside as affordable rental homes for essential workers, ensuring Paddington retains a diverse and connected community. 
&nbsp; 
The project is expected to be determined by the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure in 2026, with construction planned to start later that year and delivery within three years.

The Chatswood CBD is the latest city centre in the cross hair of the Minns Labor Government's push to support new housing.

They're pushing for up to 1,500 apartments on the former Sydney Metro construction site, which will include 180 build-to-rent apartments for essential workers, as well as new retail and commercial spaces and outdoor areas.

<img alt="Chatswood" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ec539e11-accf-4844-bbce-1b453e0ee907" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-03%20at%209.09.58%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=64L8ymb0LbjKbxcmvUux9TI9qXL8hnkR" />

The remaining mix will be build-to-sell, and incorporate affordable housing. The development will see the adaptive re-use of local heritage building Mowbray House, which operated as a boarding school from 1906 to 1954, for future community use.&nbsp;

Construction on the site is expected to start in late 2026, with the first essential workers expected to move in by late 2028.

Landcom is inviting feedback on the proposal from the community and stakeholders until 9am, Monday 27 October 2025.

<img alt="Chatswood" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="01cc2e55-a585-4a3f-afb2-bb6213dc59b8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-03%20at%209.09.18%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=ZaaHSI.h_CLRCYloljNdXSa4eigU6vae" />

The Chatswood site is the second&nbsp;to be secured under the Minns Labor Government’s $450 million investment in Landcom to deliver 400 build-to-rent homes for essential workers in Sydney, with 220 essential worker homes already being delivered in Annandale.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Work is also underway on new build-to-rent apartments on the NSW south coast and work is set to start later this year on new build-to-rent housing in Lismore to boost rental supply in the NSW Northern Rivers.

Premier of New South Wales Chris Minns said essential workers are the backbone of not only Sydney but all of NSW and they deserve to have an affordable place to live near their job and community.

“This will be life changing for essential workers, who will get to live not only near their job but in one of the best-connected areas in all of Sydney.”

Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully said people should be able to live, work, relax and play all within one community.

"Delivering both 180 new essential worker homes and 1300 further market and affordable homes will give that opportunity and choice back hundreds of people.

“We’ve dedicated another 180 homes to essential workers in this project so workers like our teachers, nurses, paramedics and police offices can build a life close to both their home and job.

“This is yet another example of density done well, providing additional, homes and jobs in an area that’s already well serviced by public transport, shops, restaurants, schools and health centres.”

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Landcom CEO Alex Wendler said this is a highly productive time for Landcom where we are sustaining strong momentum across our entire delivery program.

"Here at Chatswood, we are leading the development of a major city precinct to do density well and make homes happen. This is a great example of Landcom making the government’s policy ambitions a reality and bringing to life the kind of housing options our city needs.”

Premier of New South Wales Chris Minns said essential workers are the backbone of not only Sydney but all of NSW and they deserve to have an affordable place to live near their job and community.

Dexus' push into the residential development space is moving down to Melbourne, with the real estate asset giant taking on a x at the southern end of St Kilda Road.

Dexus, who has recently starting developing luxury apartments in Sydney's Northern Beaches, is planning a 27-storey tower with over 400 new apartments at the intersection of St Kilda Road and Queens Road.

The proposal, now with VIC Planning, seeks to replace the ageing 19-storey former Cadbury office building at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/636-st-kilda-road-melbourne-vic-3004">636 St Kilda Road</a> with a contemporary high-density apartment complex designed by architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bates-smart">Bates Smart</a>.

According to the Urban Context Report filed to VIC Planning, the development will respond to the site’s landmark location through a "refined and sculptural built form that mediates between the scale of St Kilda Road and Queens Road” while reinforcing “a sense of civic address at this prominent intersection.”&nbsp;

<img alt="First look: Dexus proposes 27-storey residential tower at 636 St Kilda Road" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="dfd2ebd1-e311-4348-9c7d-b3d73b64ade4" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/St%20Kilda%20bldg.png?VersionId=_DHkdNAj1U3wcH0BX51t2MJYeIMrbG2w" />

The architectural design features active frontages, new pedestrian through-links and an extensive landscape strategy that integrates with the surrounding boulevard character.

The apartment mix is varied, comprising 40 studios, 87 one-bedrooms, 203 two-bedrooms, 66 three-bedrooms, and six penthouses, with each dwelling designed to meet the standards set out in Clause 58 of the Port Phillip Planning Scheme.&nbsp;

A key element of the proposal is a $9.6 million contribution, equivalent to three per cent of the project’s estimated development cost, to the Social Housing Growth Fund, aimed at supporting affordable housing outcomes across Victoria.

<img alt="First look: Dexus proposes 27-storey residential tower at 636 St Kilda Road" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7f138f11-5277-461f-8d12-9533b2960586" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/St%20kilda%20rd%20site.png?VersionId=m_ZioKYhwkvekE3ZUF6y7bz.5_5yFPnZ" />

The site’s three street frontages, St Kilda Road, Queens Road, and Queens Lane, enable significant setbacks and design flexibility.

Bates Smart noted the proposal "reinforces the intent for St Kilda Road North to accommodate higher-density, mixed-use development,” leveraging its location near the soon-to-open ANZAC Station tram-rail interchange and the principal cycling corridor along the boulevard.

They emphasised&nbsp;the building’s role as a city-shaping gateway, writing that the proposed tower is “designed to contribute positively to the skyline and urban character of St Kilda Junction,” and would offer visual connections to key city landmarks, including Albert Park Lake and the Shrine of Remembrance.

Public realm upgrades are also proposed as part of the scheme, including a 138 sqm linear park, extensive landscaping, and around 188 metres of active frontages to enhance permeability and safety at the ground plane. A total of 449 car spaces and 120 bicycle spaces are planned across the four basement levels.

<img alt="First look: Dexus proposes 27-storey residential tower at 636 St Kilda Road" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="dfdbccd3-6954-417e-8543-c6b1f1b5df1b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/St%20KILDA%20rooftop.png?VersionId=.xI5fkVYETzG1WJaiOsOt8Yd4BgQx0DA" />

Dexus is positioning the project as a strategic redevelopment aligned with the St Kilda Road North Precinct Plan. The Planning Report by Urbis states that the distinct features of the site, the emerging context to its interfaces, and the surrounding policy context justify consideration of a taller building” despite the site being subject to Design and Development Overlay – Schedule 26 (DDO26).

St Kilda Road has been one of the most popular streets for residential development in recent years. The likes of Victoriana, The Muse, and St Boulevard are the most recently completed buildings, oriented to look over the adjacent Albert Park Lake, while Gamuda Land is currently developing <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/fareham-st-kilda-95-st-kilda-road-st-kilda-vic-3182">Fareham</a>, and Hirsch &amp; Faigen has a building in the precinct they will soon launch, just off St Kilda Road on Queens Road.

Melbourne’s City Circle tram loops past a dense matrix of culture, education and commerce, but few intersections offer as much access in so little walking distance as the northern end of King Street.

End of financial year developer incentives on offer at Prospect, Box Hill apartments

A Hong Kong company has lodged plans for a mixed-use development in one of Melbourne's Major Activity Centre (MAC) nominated suburbs.&nbsp;

The Box Hill development at 810-812 Whitehorse Road will include&nbsp;three distinct towers of varying heights, 23 storeys on Elgar Road, 26 storeys on Whitehorse Road, and 32 storeys to the rear/ centre of the site, along with residential amenity and open space, four commercial storeys, retail tenancy, five basement levels, and 424 car parks and 165 bicycle spaces.&nbsp;

Ricardo Energy Environment and Planning prepared a planning report on behalf of Hanex Investment Ltd who own the land, with the investment firm a subsidiary of Harbour Guidance Pty Ltd, the company that currently owns Jeanswest.

<img alt="Render of the proposed Box Hill development" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f0644880-6b13-46ec-b4b6-ce92b9e27680" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-04-24%20at%2011.10.34%20am.png?VersionId=vlpbxMymC17fV5BuOWVw51ZRE0i1D2GM" />Render of the proposed Box Hill development.&nbsp;

The group engaged renowned architects Fender Katsalidis to design the project, which the town planners say is set to critically shape the Box Hill MAC.

"It delivers a highly resolved, modern architectural development befitting of the site’s future urban context, and will enhance the public realm through landscaped forecourts and the ground level retail uses that will activate this section of Whitehorse Road, Elgar Road, and Prospect Street," Ricardo Energy Environment and Planning said in their report.&nbsp;

"The strategic role of Box Hill is arguably the key MAC in the Melbourne eastern suburbs, giving it a stand out role, while the site also sits within Built Form Precinct F which permits taller buildings enabling increased density."

The site is currently occupied by a three-storey commercial/office building which is occupied by Stanley &amp; Decker, BMM Test Labs and Box Hill Super Clinic.&nbsp;

The surrounding land is currently occupied by mid rise office buildings, taller mixed-use towers, and (on the opposite side of Elgar Road) post-war housing. However, there is a visible shift towards higher density development.

There will be 368 apartments constructed within the towers, with 114 one-bedroom 57 one-bedroom plus study, 143 two-bedroom and 54 three-bedroom floorplans.&nbsp;

Commercial and retail spaces will occupy the ground floor with seperate entrance lobbies for the residential and office components of the project.

Identified as a gateway site into Box Hill, Fender Katsilidis has incorporated a layered design, with three distinct tower forms that step down to lower shoulders to the west and north.&nbsp;

The shape of the northern and western shoulder towers has been curved to increase sight lines through the site, while articulation has been achieved through curved horizontal concrete profiles and vertical bronze banding.

The tower will comprise a light coloured off-form precast concrete panel, with clear glazing to the windows and balustrades, while the upper levels will feature glazing and concrete precast panel treatment in a light grey, coupled with metal or metal look banding elements in bronze and horizontal landscaping.&nbsp;

A suite of residential amenity will be on offer across the towers, with an 851 sqm outdoor terrace planned for level four, along with 1,446 sqm of seating and dining, a swimming pool, spa and gym.&nbsp;

A second terrace is proposed at level 24, providing a further 327 sqm of open space for residents.&nbsp;The group are also planning to enhance a currently under-utilised pocket park at 808 Whitehorse Road.

An array of convenient amenity surrounds the site, with the Whitehorse Road site well-connected through public transport links, including Box Hill Train Station, which is located 400-metres away, and the Box Hill Bus Interchange further east of the train station. There's also several bus routes located along Whitehorse Road and Elgar Road, while tram services operate along the Whitehorse Road corridor directly in front of the site.&nbsp;

Box Hill Gardens is located within 500 metres of the site, while Kingsley Gardens is within 250 metres. Box Hill Public Hospital, Epworth Eastern Private Hospital and Elgar Medical Suites are also within close proximity, as is Box Hill Lawn Bowls, Box Hill TAFE, and the suburb's Town Hall and library.&nbsp;
