<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> has lodged plans for a $750 million, three-tower mixed-use precinct that would complete the long-running redevelopment of Carlton's former Carlton United Breweries site.

The proposal at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/185-195-queensberry-street-carlton-vic-3053">46-78 Bouverie Street and 185-195 Queensberry Street</a> spans a 6,468 sqm site, the last remaining undeveloped parcels within the former brewery's 2007 masterplan.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the development will comprise two purpose-built student accommodation towers and a third build-to-sell apartment tower above a shared commercial podium and basement.

Across the three towers, SP Setia is proposing 606 build-to-sell apartments and 1,499 student accommodation units containing 2,009 beds.

The apartments will sit in the tallest tower, which will rise nearly 200m and 55 storeys. It will become&nbsp;one of the more substantial new build-to-sell apartment projects at the northern edge of Melbourne's CBD.

The apartment mix is weighted toward smaller inner-city product, with 188 studios, 206 one-bedroom apartments, 192 two-bedroom apartments and 20 three-bedroom apartments

<img alt="First look: SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8271bc87-1b0a-41b7-ac73-a425ee375261" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/3_2.png?VersionId=G4lw23o90B1boX4k4dj7rdz2ZEajS9wy" />

Part of the precinct will be a large-scale&nbsp;3,684 sqm supermarket and a further 2,198 sqm of speciality retail, creating close to 5,900 sqm of new commercial space within the precinct.

But one of the biggest components of the proposal is what sits between the buildings.

Around 4,650 sqm, or roughly 72 per cent of the site, will be publicly accessible open space, incorporating plazas, pedestrian connections, landscaped laneways and retail spill-out areas.

The ground plane is intended to finally complete pedestrian connections envisaged when the CUB masterplan was first approved nearly two decades ago, stitching together Victoria Street, Queensberry Street, Bouverie Street and Swanston Street through the former brewery precinct.

Urbis said the development would "complete the CUB precinct", with the public realm providing important north-south and east-west connections through what is currently the final undeveloped portion of the masterplanned site.

SP Setia is also exploring a new linear park within the Bouverie Street road reserve, with the concept to be developed further with the City of Melbourne through the planning process.

The proposal is being pursued through the Victorian Government's Development Facilitation Program under Clause 53.23 for significant residential development with affordable housing.

The planning report acknowledges the proposed heights exceed those contemplated under the original Comprehensive Development Plan and masterplan, but argues the built-form context has changed considerably over the past two decades.

Urbis said the three towers would instead create a stepped transition between Carlton and the Hoddle Grid, rising progressively from the 94.1-metre Tower One along the Queensberry Street edge to the 199.44-metre Tower Three closer to the established CBD-scale buildings to the south.

<img alt="SP Setia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e885a07a-592c-40fc-bf82-e6dbaf32da54" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.52.24%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7s_ErUkSKAdY1mAWp3GRZgMNCGtwhk5m" />

SP Setia plans to deliver the development across three stages.

Stage One would deliver the basement, podium and retail areas for the entire precinct alongside the first student tower. Tower Two would follow in Stage Two, before the 606-apartment Tower Three is delivered as the final stage.

If approved and delivered, the project would close out a redevelopment process that has been underway since the former brewery masterplan was approved in 2007, adding more than 2,600 student beds and apartments to a precinct already home to Swanston Central, the Barak Building, RMIT Design Hub and several large student accommodation developments.

SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct

Melbourne developer Lowe Living is seeking to add to its growing bayside apartment pipeline, filing plans for a boutique eight-residence development in tightly held Middle Park.

Lowe Living, which has built much of its development portfolio across Melbourne's affluent bayside and south-east suburbs, is behind the plans for the 730 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/123-125-erskine-street-middle-park-vic-3206">123-125 Erskine Street</a>, just off Armstrong Street and within the Armstrong Street Neighbourhood Activity Centre.

The developer is seeking approval for a five-storey residential building above two basement levels, with just eight large-format apartments and 18 car spaces.

“This is a deliberately very different proposition for us,"&nbsp;Tim Lowe, Co-Founder of Lowe Living, said.

"Eight residences is exceptionally boutique, but that's precisely what this site calls for.

“There is a strong community in Middle Park and the surrounding suburbs who have spent decades building a life here. They no longer want the maintenance of a large period home, but they aren't prepared to compromise on space, quality or location. We think there is a real opportunity to capture that hyper local market. A site like this rarely comes to market.”

<img alt="Lowe " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="875fe572-0f14-4d90-9e11-55b28dd07731" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.42.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=GDNQRv9BfpR9r1zkZ5UDyUM4ZvpIksut" />

The low-density proposal has been designed by Cera Stribley and is being progressed through the Victorian Government's Great Design Fast Track pathway, having already secured eligibility from the Minister for Planning.

The Office of the Victorian Government Architect supported its eligibility after finding the proposal demonstrated consistency with the program's seven design principles, while the project's financial feasibility has also been independently confirmed by Invest Victoria.

The project is targeting the downsizer market, with the planning documents describing the homes as larger-format residences and noting the two penthouses could otherwise have been configured as four separate apartments.

<img alt="Lowe 2" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="60ab0987-2da6-4175-adac-315dcf6053c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.15%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=bOCPH0B2MFwlmaRW.TTCF9TzyifgVoQI" />

The site has dual frontage to Erskine Street and Canterbury Place and currently comprises a collection of commercial buildings used as offices, including a former heritage bakehouse, a former stable, a later gabled addition and a central courtyard.

It sits within the Commercial 1 Zone and the Armstrong Street Commercial Precinct heritage overlay, with the existing property classified as a contributory heritage place.

Heritage has subsequently played a significant role in Cera Stribley's design.

The front section of the former bakehouse facing Erskine Street will be retained, including its return walls, street-facing hipped roof and chimneys, while the Erskine Street façade and part of the western return wall of the former stable will also be incorporated into the new development.

Levels four and five will be set back five metres from the retained stable façade, while bricks removed through demolition are proposed to be salvaged and reused within the new building where possible.

<img alt="Lowe 3" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e97927a9-a2de-4a0f-83b6-65451238abfa" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.06%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VR44AChLrX9q1XPB9GvVQV.ALXXbe4gC" />

Rather than presenting as a single five-storey building to Erskine Street, Cera Stribley has broken the development into a series of distinct forms.

A three-storey infill element will sit between the retained bakehouse and stable façades, with the upper levels recessed behind the heritage fabric. Canterbury Place will similarly feature two three-storey podium forms, separated by a central pedestrian accessway, before the upper two levels step back from the street.

A pedestrian through-link will run through the centre of the project between Erskine Street and Canterbury Place, creating entrances from both sides of the site and introducing landscaping and communal areas through the ground plane.

Landscape architect Acre has designed planting across the ground level, private terraces and upper levels, including a feature canopy tree at level three and integrated planting and arbours across the level four terraces. Five existing Erskine Street trees are proposed to be retained.

Sustainability is also a significant component of the Great Design Fast Track application. The apartments are targeting an average eight-star NatHERS rating, with no residence below 6.5 stars, while the project has achieved a 75 per cent BESS score. Seven of the eight apartments are designed for cross-ventilation, with the remaining residence using mechanically assisted natural ventilation.

The plans also incorporate an 8kWp rooftop solar system, a 5,000-litre rainwater tank and infrastructure allowing future electric vehicle charging for every residence.

Lowe has a strong portfolio across Melbourne's blue-chip suburbs. They recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/jardin-house-by-lowe-living-camberwell-335-camberwell-road-camberwell-vic-3124">Jardin House by Lowe Living</a> in Camberwell, their first development in the Stonnington LGA.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dvb-projects">DVB Projects</a> is preparing to launch its second Gold Coast apartment development, with demolition now underway on the Broadbeach site as the Sydney developer moves closer to bringing the ultra-luxury project to market.

The 34-level tower at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/137-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">137 Old Burleigh Road</a> will comprise just 49 residences, ranging from half-floor apartments through to full-floor homes and a penthouse. The launch follows the strong sales performance of DVB's nearby Sea Glass development. More than half of the apartments at Sea Glass, on the other side of Broadbeach, have been snapped up, well ahead of its late 2027 completion

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2944b4be-c84e-4b54-8dc1-c712e76704c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/E02_Exterior_Street%20Level%20Entrance.jpg?VersionId=YoNig7pRdrE3HCue7sUj78LzJteeQf3H" />

The start of demolition at 137 Old Burleigh Road signals DVB Projects’ underlying confidence in the Gold Coast’s luxury beachside apartment sector.

“We see the Gold Coast as one of the most compelling lifestyle markets in Australia, particularly at the premium end where demand continues to deepen,” said Dean Brown, Managing Director of DVB.&nbsp;

“This project has been carefully designed to respond to that demand - delivering large-format residences with a level of quality, privacy and amenity that is still relatively rare in the apartment market on the beachside."

Brown says the site itself is "exceptional."

"Old Burleigh Road is one of the most tightly held beachfront strips, and opportunities to deliver a project of this scale and calibre in this location are extremely limited.”

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="398f377a-c037-455e-9250-0c5e0d84c35b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/I12_FF%20Balcony.jpg?VersionId=NwOiRWGMubR1c8wthuEfggklcja7al9." />

The project will comprise 40 half-floor residences of approximately 260 sqm, alongside eight full-floor residences spanning around 524 sqm.

A single penthouse will crown the building, featuring a private pool, barbecue area, indoor gym and dedicated entertaining spaces.

Residents will have access to a resort-style suite of amenities, including a 20-metre pool with daybeds, a gymnasium, hot and cold plunge pools, a sauna, and private residents’ lounge and dining facilities.

Sales agent Todd Matheson, of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/pezet-matheson">Pezet Matheson</a>, which is marketing both 137 Old Burleigh Road and Sea Glass, said 137 Old Burleigh Road would address a clear gap in the market for genuine luxury products.

“There are very few opportunities on the Gold Coast where buyers can secure a residence of this size and quality in a new building,” Matheson said.

“What we’re seeing is a growing cohort of downsizers and interstate buyers who still want space - they’re not willing to compromise on living area, entertaining or finishes.

“This project has been designed with that buyer in mind. It offers the scale of a home, combined with the convenience and security of apartment living, in one of the coast’s most desirable positions.”

Located on a 1,156 sqm site one block from the beachfront, the development will replace an ageing walk-up building and is expected to contribute to the ongoing transformation of the Old Burleigh Road strip into one of the Gold Coast’s most prestigious residential corridors.

With the development moving into the delivery phase, 137 Old Burleigh Road is slated to hit the market later this year.

DVB Projects to launch second Broadbeach apartment tower as demolition commences

<a data-end="327" data-is-only-node="" data-start="250" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/norus-projects" rel="noopener" target="_new">Norus Developments</a> has lodged plans for a new apartment development in Clayton that would add further momentum to the suburb's emerging Green Street corridor.

Plans have been lodged for the consolidated site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1359-1365-centre-road-clayton-vic-3168">1359-1365 Centre Road</a>, where Norus is seeking approval for 218 apartments across a 12-storey apartment building designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/life-architecture-and-urban-design">Life Architecture</a>.

The proposal sits within the Clayton Major Activity Centre at the threshold of the planned Green Street corridor, a landscaped pedestrian connection intended to improve links through the precinct towards Clayton Railway Station.

The development would replace the site's existing collection of low-scale residential and commercial buildings with a single consolidated building, introducing significantly greater housing density to this part of Centre Road.

A retail tenancy is proposed at ground level to activate the Centre Road frontage, accompanied by transparent street interfaces and landscaping intended to create a more pedestrian-focused edge to the development.

<img alt="First look: Norus Developments plans landscape-led apartment project for Clayton’s emerging Green Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0a5a763a-d9e9-4253-af2f-88008de27ebf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Clayton%20a.png?VersionId=S2WJJbat1XVkZwB9SnYtygirXgWHiklX" />

The building has been designed with stepped massing and upper-level setbacks to manage its transition towards surrounding residential properties. The planning report describes the approach as one that integrates the building into the landscape rather than treating landscaping as a secondary element.

"A strong landscape and public realm strategy underpins the proposal," Urbis states in the planning report.

"Public benefits include an affordable housing contribution, a new pocket park, generous landscaped setbacks, deep soil planting and integrated Water Sensitive Urban Design."

The report adds that these elements are intended to create "a permeable, pedestrian-focused ground plane that enhances walkability, supports urban cooling and reinforces the emerging Green Street character."

Biophilic and passive design principles extend through the residential levels, with planting, daylight, natural ventilation and views towards landscaped areas forming part of the amenity strategy.

Parking would be concentrated away from the public realm, with 145 car spaces proposed from the rear laneway rather than dominating the Centre Road frontage.

The proposal follows an extensive pre-application process with the City of Monash. Three formal meetings were held between the project team and Council from December 2025 to March 2026, with the scheme evolving through several concept iterations before the current design was lodged.

The project arrives as Clayton prepares for substantial change around its established activity centre and the wider Suburban Rail Loop precinct. Its position on Centre Road places the development within an existing concentration of shops, services and public transport, while the Green Street connection is intended to strengthen pedestrian access towards Clayton Railway Station.

&nbsp;Australian-based developer Huon Property Group are gearing up for their next residential development, lodging plans for a site in Brisbane's Stones Corner.&nbsp;

Seeking to take advantage of the&nbsp;2032 Summer Olympics hub in Woolloongabba, Huon are seeking to build a 15-level tower at 22 Cleveland Street, comprising 114 apartments.

Geared toward the owner-occupier, the building will be a mix of just two and three-bedroom apartments. There will be 78 two-bed units, 20 with multi-purpose rooms, and 41 three-bedroom apartments, 15 of which will also have a multi-purpose room.

<img alt="Render of 22 Cleveland Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6d38ded7-f7b0-4d34-829a-aed44ef8846f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-03-09%20at%202.53.15%20pm.png?VersionId=emi3CU32pRM42mVT4P0nVMa6U02FnL0f" />

There'll also be a collection of 10 double-storey sky homes, with the upper floor sky homes benefitting from their own private space on the rooftop.&nbsp;

Designed by Z Architects, the tower will give the appearance of two separate towers,&nbsp;with a substantial central recess along the north-western elevation, a larger form on the eastern part of the site towards Logan Road, and a more narrow and slender tower form on the western part of the site towards Cleveland Street.

While the rear part of the commercial character buildings along Logan Road is to be partially demolished, the intent is to protect the original shop front, street entrance and awning over the pedestrian environment, maintaining activation along the street frontage.&nbsp;

Significant allocation of landscaping has also been included, with deep planting and containerised planting above the podium level to enhance breathability and reduce the heat load of the building, while also contributing to the subtropical character and microclimate of the site, along with planting across the rooftop terrace.&nbsp;

Each apartment has been designed with modern living in mind and boasts high-quality finishes throughout. Residents can expect open-plan living areas that flow seamlessly onto private balconies offering views over the city skyline and surrounding neighbourhoods.

<img alt="Render of 22 Cleveland Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="03bc66f1-1138-4de6-a0f2-1906ed896fe6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-03-09%20at%202.52.58%20pm.png?VersionId=aZNkvutidKrd6DQJVWb6F3I2zGydrv1I" />

While the sky homes will have private access to a portion of the rooftop terrace, the other section has been reserved for communal facilities, designed&nbsp;to capitalise on views and vistas to the Brisbane CBD and Hanlon Park, with a swimming pool and subsequent pool deck, barbecue area, co-working space, a cinema, and a formal dining room.&nbsp;

Communal facilities will also be featured in the podium level, with a function room, a gym and a communal lounge with terraces.&nbsp;

A total of 327 car parking spaces provided for residents and visitors within two basement levels, ground level and podium car parking areas, utilising a stacker system where possible to maximise utility of the space

A cross block link has also been proposed, providing direct pedestrian access between Logan Road and Cleveland Street, along the north-western side boundary. The link will help break up the 220 metre long stretch of Cleveland Street between the corner of Logan Road and the proposed Arcade on the northern boundary of Stones Corner Village.&nbsp;

Residents will be within four-kilometres of the CBD, with the site also within proximity to Stones Corner Busway Station, Buranda Train Station and a range of retailers.&nbsp;

Huon are also currently developing a&nbsp;170 townhouse project in&nbsp;Oxley. Set to be built over three stages, Arabella will comprise three and four-bedroom homes, with stage one currently under construction.&nbsp;

Huon Property Group lodge plans for Stones Corner apartment tower

Just as Expo ’88 left an indelible legacy for Brisbane in the form of South Bank, the 2032 Olympics are set to unlock the potential of Kurilpa and South Brisbane.

Post-games, it's envisioned that the intersection of Peel, Boundary and Manning Streets will become a landmark at the heart of a highly liveable subtropical residential precinct, with strong&nbsp;pedestrian connections through to the river and parklands, cultural facilities, retail and hospitality villages.&nbsp;

Queensland developer Pradella is looking to take advantage of the expected boom, lodging plans&nbsp;for a 23-storey tower across an amalgamated site at 37-39 Boundary Street, South Brisbane. They secured the adjoining commercial office sites in late 2020, for a combined $7.5 million.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f28ddda7-3af0-4a2e-bad7-8ca3637162fe" href="/new-apartments/37-39-boundary-street-south-brisbane"><img alt="Render of the South Brisbane tower" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-02-17%20at%208.18.44%20am.png?VersionId=UnTZw2IJuBp2sP1RGHwoC5QBlIy6wjR_" /></a>Render of the South Brisbane tower. Credit: Rothelowman

A mix of&nbsp;one, two and three-bedroom apartments will be developed, in addition to one four-bedroom penthouse, designed by renowned architecture firm Rothelowman.

The site occupies a significant location, along the natural desire line connecting key South Brisbane and West End precincts to the anticipated South Bank 2.0 through a future cross-block link and potential extension of Oxford Street.&nbsp;

The large industrial land parcels located behind the site are also expected to evolve into a finer grain street and pedestrian network, which will support an intensification of land use and a transition towards a vibrant inner-city neighbourhood. This vision has been further supported by recent announcements by the Queensland Government regarding the acquisition of riverfront industrial land as part of preparations for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.

The proposal also makes a significant civic contribution at the Boundary Street interface, marking the location with a grand forecourt, feature screening, deep tree planting, and overhead landscaping. The entry forecourt, future laneway, and cascading planting to the rear combine to site the building within a lush garden setting on three sides.

The design of the tower aims to shape view lines while maintaining privacy both into and out of adjacent buildings. The façade is staggered to give central plate residences views past the building itself, with external walls, columns, and screens flared to craft views away from existing buildings and toward long vistas.

The newly developed building features a reduced podium size, strategically designed to maximise the influx of natural sunlight and create a welcoming open space at the ground level.

The design aims to promote a permeable connection within the block, which is enhanced by the generous use of glazing to each unit, catering to the need for privacy and shading. The building also incorporates large sliding doors and multiple operable windows, allowing for optimal airflow.

As the tower grows taller than its direct neighbours, the length of certain blades is diminished, opening the residences to more daylight and creating a dynamic, shifting facade, resulting in a robust, articulated, and sculptural form.

Crowning the tower will be a communal rooftop terrace, offering extensive&nbsp;indoor and outdoor amenities that take advantage of Brisbane's subtropical climate. The civic nature of the building continues to its roof in the form of The Longhouse, a legible and distinct architectural crown set within a lush landscape, acting as a distinct landmark for the South Brisbane skyline.

Landscaped terraces climb the rear of the tower while cascading plants hang overhead the entry forecourt.

The lobby of the tower has also been designed to ensure activated uses, with a work-from-home area, an on-site management office and a resident's lounge planned for the space.&nbsp;

South Brisbane and West End have long been desirable inner-city residential precincts, with a recent focus on improving connectivity to other areas within the city.

Linkages between Brisbane CBD, Southbank, Cultural Centre, and West End/Davies Park have been established and enhanced with various new and improved river crossings, such as the Go Between Bridge, Kurilpa Bridge, pedestrianised Victoria Bridge, and Neville Bonner Bridge, alongside improved pedestrian streetscape amenity, and streets and laneways, including Fish Lane, Melbourne St, and Russell Lane.

Pradella lodge plans for new Rothelowman-designed, South Brisbane apartment development

Nearly seven years after buying a development site in Brisbane's Albion, property investment specialist OpenCorp has finalised what it wants to do with it.

Opencorp, founded by&nbsp;Matthew and Allister Lewison in 2005, have filed plans for two 11-storey towers at 31 Dover Street, Albion, a 5,600 sqm site they bought for $11 million in 2016.

They've had Hayes Anderson Lynch (HAL) draw up the plans for the development, which will home 218 one, two and three-bedroom apartments across both stages.

HAL have pointed the two towers together to form a V shape, which helps maximise daylight and passive ventilation to all sides of the development. They also prioritized&nbsp;views towards the project’s green spaces, as well as the wider city skyline. The premium apartments toward the top of the towers will have uninterrupted city vews.

<img alt="Render of the Dover Street site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b6853f3d-4f4b-42bd-b0eb-98201bfe9fef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-02-09%20at%203.46.06%20pm.png?VersionId=bxXBnbheep8Z4OUXdY96R.C7JTCKMuP5" />Render of the Dover Street site in Albion. Credit: HAL Architects.

The 'V' shape allows for a larger average setback to the side boundaries and street frontage of the development, while also increasing the average setback between towers, which supports the ground floor communal space. This 'V' shape also ensures that each residence's balcony to the inside of the site has a view into the communal courtyard and away from the other tower.

A lush oasis will be developed across the ground floor, with the communal area featuring a gym, functional space and barbecue facilities, along with a variety of seating areas nestled within verdant landscaping.&nbsp;

Each of the towers will also include a communal rooftop area, offering views toward the city and across the surrounding suburb. They will each have their own pool.

Credit: HAL Architects.

OpenCorp co-founder Allister Lewison says the project will suit those buyers who are priced out of neighbouring Newstead.

"We're located in a pocket where we're surrounded by Newstead, Hamilton, and Ascot, some of the more affluent suburbs in Brisbane,"&nbsp;Lewison said.

When developing plans for the project, the team commissioned&nbsp;The National Property Research Co. to dig into the demographics of Albion, which found the average Albion resident is getting younger.

"We conducted our research and found a lot of mid 20s and 30-year old renters living in neighbouring areas aren't likely to be able to afford the increasingly unaffordable suburbs," Lewison says.

"We've created a product mix where we can offer something for the first home buyer, as well as rightsizers and young families.

The The National Property Research Co. report says around one third of Albion's population sits in the in the 25 to 34 age bracket. They said employment opportunities, as well as the suburb's&nbsp;location and proximity to entertainment precincts such as Race Course Road, James Street and Fortitude Valley, have been driving factors in the millennial demographic surge.

Lewison expects there to be a good balance between both owner-occupiers and investors, given soaring rents and the extensive infrastructure planned in the area as part of the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

Last year the Brisbane City Council announced Crosby Park and the Albion Park Raceway, less than 100 metres from the Dover Street site, would be redeveloped into a 29 hectare sports precinct which will include the&nbsp;Brisbane Indoor and Para Sports Centre for the Olympic Games.

Celebrating Brisbane’s subtropical environment, landscaping and subtropical design are integral to the Dover Street development’s design. Landscape elements have been integrated throughout the building, from the green spaces along the street, to the communal courtyard which will be located toward the back of the development. Planter boxes will also be used on the facade, which will not only support the green environment but also add a layer of detail to the facade.

The site will embrace its inner-city locale, providing over 270 resident and visitor bike parking spaces, while also being near to the Albion Train Station, in addition to a number of bus stops, helping to reduce the reliance on car transport.&nbsp;

Construction has commenced on a new set of apartments slated for Brisbane’s inner-city by SAVVE Developments &amp; Construction.&nbsp;

The 1610 sqm Indooroopilly site at 107 Clarence Road, is DA-approved to deliver 35 apartments across eight storeys upon completion, with The Audrey offering a mix of two, three and four-bedroom residences as well as one five-bedroom penthouse.&nbsp;

Commercial tenancies will take up shop across the ground floor of the site, with the two-storey addition set to include space for offices and food and beverage retailers.&nbsp;

Designed by Prospect Architects, with interiors by Merge, the development will take inspiration from the tree-lined streets of its locale, which is situated just moments from world-class cafes, restaurants, shopping and golf courses.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94824 project_image_fid=209993]

An entry lobby and resident’s library will be situated across the ground floor, featuring stone floors, feature wallpaper, timber joinery and custom furniture, with the apartments beginning on level two, with just five residences set for each floor.&nbsp;

Designed for the owner-occupier, each of the homes will feature open living and dining areas, with 2.7-metre high ceilings, wide balcony doors and full-height glass panelling inviting natural light and breezes throughout.&nbsp;

SAVVE Director,&nbsp;Sandro Alberti&nbsp;said their research showed that most buyers would be locals, within an eight kilometre radius, which has, so far, been the case.

"Being the Builder and Developer meant we were able to fully customise, not only the fit out of each apartment but also able to amalgamate two floor plans together to purposely design larger apartments, satisfying our client's desired outcomes," Alberti said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94824 project_image_fid=210019]

"Of those buyers that decided to opt for larger residences, we have worked together with our architects and them to design magnificent four or five-bedroom apartments that cater for their customised interior preferences."

"With the addition of these unique larger residences within our boutique complex, we've reduced the number of apartments from 35 to now just 30".

Apartments will incorporate internal laundries, ensuites, media rooms, butler’s pantries and expansive storage options, with an interior palette of stone, engineered Oak Herringbone timber floors, and cool neutral walls.&nbsp;

The two-bedders will be priced from $680,000 with the three-bedroom apartments starting from just over $1 million.&nbsp;

Crowning the inner-city site will be a communal rooftop recreation deck, complete with a lap pool and day beds, barbecue facilities, alfresco dining space, and a conversation zone with a fire pit, all encased in lush green landscaping, with raised vegetable and herb garden beds and an open green zone also incorporated. &nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94824 project_image_fid=210018]

Centrally located in a walkable community, The Audrey offers the best of all worlds, with the casual vibe of the leafy riverside suburb brimming with green open parklands while still being seamlessly connected to the CBD, which is just 9 minutes away.

The Indooroopilly Train Station is just a five-minute walk from the site, as is the Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, which is the largest shopping destination in the western suburbs of Brisbane, with over 360 specialty stores, 16 cinema rooms and a food court.&nbsp;

The Audrey is also close-by to two premier golf courses, in addition to a number of educational institutes, including The University of Queensland, Indooroopilly State High School, Brigidine College, St Peters Lutheran College, Ambrose Treacy College &amp; Holy Family Primary School.&nbsp;

Construction has started on a new residential development in Brisbane’s coastal suburb of Wynnum. &nbsp;

Town Planning Alliance has submitted revised plans on behalf of a company linked to Cavcorp's Michael Cavallucci, for a previously approved project at 75 Tingal Road, Wynnum.&nbsp;

The 1215 sqm site was previously occupied by a church, which has recently been demolished in preparation for the new development.&nbsp;

Red Door Architecture have handled the designs of the five-storey development, which "takes on a sculptural and expressive curved form, poised as an iconic addition to the Bayside precinct which takes inspiration from the site’s seaside character."

In response to the Council’s citywide amendment to rooftop gardens and green space, the main amendment to the project has been the reconsideration to the the design of the communal offering, with a view towards maximising residential amenity and celebrating Brisbane’s subtropical outdoor lifestyle.&nbsp;

Crowning the development, the 165 sqm rooftop terrace will be centralised within the rooftop, set within subtropical landscaping, featuring health and wellness, entertainment and outdoor play zones.&nbsp;

A swimming pool, with sun beds, sun lounges and an outdoor shower will be on offer, in addition to barbecue facilities, outdoor dining and seating areas, a yoga area, kids play lawn and amphitheatre seating.&nbsp;

Significant setbacks to the rooftop however will ensure the building continues to present from the streetscape as a five-storey building.&nbsp;

The relocation of the communal open space enabled the developers to add an additional apartment, increasing the number from 27 to 28 residences.&nbsp;

A mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments will be on offer, with the amended plans increasing the living spaces in each apartment, providing enhanced liveability.&nbsp;

Each incorporates an open plan design, with the living, dining and kitchen spaces flowing seamlessly to outdoor balconies, with some featuring barbecue and outdoor dining facilities.&nbsp;

Five to six apartments will be set across each floor, with two levels of basement car parking provided for the site.&nbsp;

Future residents will be within walking distance to a range of high frequency public transport options, including Wynnum Central Train Station, which is just 400 metres from the site, in addition to several bus routes along Tingal Road.

Approved Wynnum apartment development reimagines communal roof to meet citywide amendment 

Plans have been lodged for a 14-storey residential tower in Brisbane's inner-city suburb of Woolloongabba.

The plans were filed by a company tied to former Olympian Edward Fernon, who since giving up athletics has been focused on property development. He is currently the managing director at Freedom Development Group and a development partner of Escarpment Estates, a new development on the grounds of the former Katoomba Golf Course in the Blue Mountains.

Mecone, the Sydney-based town planner who filed the plans on behalf of Fernon, said the intent&nbsp;of the development is to create a mixed-residential building which caters for a range of different housing needs.

39 apartments are set to be delivered across the 61 Regent Street site, along with 33 studio apartments for short term rental and three studios for rooming accomodation, designed by Sydney-based architects, Place Studio.&nbsp;

<img alt="Woolloongabba" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3c540b3-a212-4e50-9571-bc6d977cc10c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-01-19%20at%209.51.17%20am.png?VersionId=PhMc7R_JQn_O8MEw.LBCrVq6DFRf.MeA" />

The mezzanine level and levels one to three will comprise the co-living residences, while the standard apartments will be housed from levels four through to 11.

A mix of apartment types will be on offer, with seven one-bedroom, 30 two-bedroom and two three-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

The built form presents as 12 storeys to Regent Street and is of a consistent built form to adjoining approvals. The development has a well-articulated façade which incorporates landscaping to enhance the sub-tropical design.

The architecture will be well-articulated through a variety of building materials and finishes, with landscaping featured throughout the design through raised planters on the lower levels and on the rooftop, enhancing a sub-tropical setting.&nbsp;

Brick cladding covers the ground floor, contrasting the balance of the built form, which is comprised of rendered cladding.&nbsp;

The facade of the building will presents a darker paint finish on the southern side, with the northern side containing a lighter paint finish, while timber panelling features on the underside of each balcony slab adding a finer grain detail, particularly when viewed from the street, with a mix of glass and concrete balustrading adding further articulation to the façade.&nbsp;

<img alt="61 Regent Street Woolloongabba" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="91326167-77b6-4342-9e0b-33be2abda080" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-01-19%20at%2010.07.12%20am.png?VersionId=yFemr9yuQhO9iMECQ8L4twEpgQz6hzwp" />

514 sqm of indoor and outdoor communal space will be incorporated across the site, with the mezzanine floor set to include a barbecue area and shaded areas.&nbsp;

Crowning the tower will be 141 sqm of communal open space, with an additional barbecue area slated, along with a 100 sqm communal room leading onto a courtyard and balcony.&nbsp;

Woolloongabba is undergoing significant growth which is reflective of the high density residential zoning and the proximity to the University of Queensland, Buranda Village, Carl Street Park, the Princess Alexandra Hospital, and the Gabba Cricket Ground.

The site also has excellent access to the Brisbane CBD through active, public and private transport, with public transport accessible via the nearby bus stops on Cornwall Street and Ipswich Road, whilst the future Brisbane Metro 1 line will be accessible from the Buranda busway station, with the Buranda railway station providing further public transport options.

Active transport routes are also an option, with the Southeast Freeway Bikeway providing further connection to the city.&nbsp;

Recently&nbsp;Queensland developer Sarazin submitted plans for their next tower in Woolloongabba following the success of Silk One.

They've&nbsp;lodged plans for Nuage, two side by side towers at 14 Wellington Road, which will home 368 apartments across the two 20-level buildings, divided by a central communal garden.

Having recently launched it's latest project Lumina in Stones Corner, Brisbane developer Oakridge have their sights on their new project.

The Andrew Niven-founded private developer has lodged plans for The Pavilion in Upper Mount Gravatt.&nbsp;

A two-storey residence, which currently occupies the site, will be demolished to make way for three residential towers, set to comprise 144 apartments.

There's a full mix of configurations; 52 one-beds, 72 two-bedroom apartments, and 20 three-bed offerings.

Oakridge engaged architects MAS to design the residences, which take on a sub-tropical design.&nbsp;

<img alt="r" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3bfaacc9-7528-46e2-8a69-f7b3bf18a5f9" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-12-08%20at%2010.19.09%20am.png?VersionId=1K.sx7luuedsErnasiQFt34wQeLgq6fh" />

Towers one and three span the majority of the site, with a predominantly rectangular footprint, located along the south and north boundaries. The central tower, on the other hand, has a predominant square shape, aligning to the west boundary.

A central courtyard will be used as a common recreation space, with barbecue facilities and a swimming pool, which are threaded together with softened landscaping and meandering footpaths that arrives at each tower lobby.&nbsp;

Orientation and solar aspect are front of mind in the project, with deep balcony overhangs and fenestration to combat the effects of the Australian sun. The west orientated faces of the building are treated with louvred screens that work to both filter sunlight and add privacy to the western neighbouring complex.&nbsp;

A subdued and refined material palette including off form concrete coupled with black and white tones has been selected to allow the vertical greenery elements be the focal point of attention.

Timber tones have been utilised on balcony roof ceilings along with secluded and muted dark tones which accentuate the presence of the highly densely populated gum trees. Tinted and clear glazing is interwoven with dark structural elements, adding contrast and texture, while powder-coated elements accent the external envelope, either in vertical or horizontal orientations.&nbsp;

Access to the residential basement level occurs on the south side of the site, at the bottom end of Hibiscus Place, with the volumetric level transitioning between body, podium and basement to become a visual experience as well as tying into the verdant surrounds.

Offering a well-connected lifestyle, The Pavilion is situated approximately 11-kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD, and within walking distance to Griffith University and Westfield Mt Gravatt.

Oakridge are soon to demolish the&nbsp;landmark Freemason building in Stones Corner, replacing it with a 12-level glass-swathed tower with 97 apartments.

<img alt="Lumina" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="238742d5-0fbd-46c1-85fc-9e9bebd9a821" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Stones%20Corner%20Rooftop%20View%2001%20Final%20www.nordstudio.com_.au%20-JPG%20%28lower%20resolution%20for%20email%20use%20only%29.jpg?VersionId=NY9iIXmoR8TAO9Wd6x.osvqZ0fI1cLP9" />

Lumina, at 17 Cleveland Street in Stones Corner, just south of the Woolloongabba Olympic precinct, will also feature two ground level retail spaces and an impressive rooftop amenity.

On the roof is a&nbsp;dedicated kids play area, with an acrylic or astro turfed floor which will be netted. There will be a roofed area for further activity, as well as two pools, a spa, private dining space with kitchen, barbecue areas, a communal garden, and a gym with a sauna.

NMDS Architecture has drawn up the plans for the tower, which has been orientated to take in extensive views. The bigger three-bedroom units, which are expected to appeal to the family demographic, face both the park and the city.

Lumina will also offer a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, to cater for&nbsp;all types of buyers, from investors and first home buyers to rightsizers, downsizers, and families.

Privately-held Brisbane developer Lantona has lodged plans for a mixed-use development in the inner-city suburb of Auchenflower.&nbsp;

Led by founder Andrew Hanna, Lantona closely partners with Brisbane Builders to deliver each project, with the collaboration years in the making due to Hanna’s long-term friendship with Brisbane Builders founder, Jason Habchi.&nbsp;

The group’s latest project stays true to Lantona’s vision: which where you build is important.&nbsp;

“Typically we choose locations that allow residents a variety of outdoor and leisure pursuits, which is why you’ll find our projects in some of Brisbane’s most dynamic suburbs,” Lantona says.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of the Auchenflower development" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="72566c15-5e15-459f-9c17-1a00e59243d5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-12-01%20at%2010.55.07%20am.png?VersionId=M0bXt0P9zSvywKGgHUMGRYS4RRXf.eil" />Render of the Auchenflower development at&nbsp;131-137 Eagle Terrace.

The project will be constructed across a unique three-frontage, 1537 sqm site at 131-137 Eagle Terrace, near to Auchenflower Station, the Brisbane River, Wesley Hospital, and a number of parks and green open spaces.

Designed by Ellivo Architects, 36 apartments will be spread across a 12-storey building, dominated by three-bedroom apartments.

A shorter seven-storey commercial building will also be constructed on the site, complete with space for a cafe across the ground floor.&nbsp;

The podium levels of the proposed building will be wrapped in gentle, flowing ribbons, which define the balconies, while the upper portion of the building changes language, with vertical angled blades to delineate the upper facade, while also providing privacy and sun shading in addition to maximising viewpoints.&nbsp;

A combination of glass, aluminium, steel and concrete materials has created a raw and low maintenance development, which is softened with layered greenery, across the ground plane and within the facade and balcony edges.&nbsp;

Crowning the residential building will be a suite of resort-inspired amenities, including a leisure deck, a pool, barbecue facilities and seating, with the communal open space designed as a space for resident’s to relax and take in the surrounding views.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of the Auchenflower development" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="dc145047-cd7a-480f-a78d-7636ae195f79" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/commercial-corner-activation.jpeg?VersionId=MxAbrsnB3BTrZWDBYmshFUSjYNnbI6DK" />

Further communal space will be provided in the lower levels of the building, with a balcony which will wrap the entirety of the building, creating a continuous outdoor space, providing a multitude of outlooks and outdoor space.&nbsp;

Lantona’s proposal comes off the back of the group’s Woody Point development in the Moreton Bay region, which launched to the market in September this year.&nbsp;

Located at 1 Lilla Street, Echo on the Bay will deliver just 10 apartments to the coastal suburb upon completion, with the architecturally designed residences to set a new standard for bayside living.&nbsp;

Situated on a commanding oceanfront, cliff-top location, the project features a selection of high-quality finishes and fixtures, with floorplans designed to make the most of the coastal locale.&nbsp;

Mixed-use development lodged for inner-city Brisbane suburb

Mirvac Constructions has become the first business in Australia to be awarded the highest possible 5 Gold Star iCIRT rating by regulated ratings agency Equifax.

The Independent Construction Industry Rating Tool (iCIRT) is designed to aid property buyers by assessing an entity’s capability, capacity and ability to deliver a trustworthy building, with Mirvac the first to achieve the prestigious rating.&nbsp;

The rating tool is one of several pillars of reform introduced in NSW in recent years and is intended to raise building standards and consumer confidence in built form within the state.

Head of Product and Rating Services at Equifax, Brad Walters, said the iCIRT rating has played a pivotal role in rebuilding trust and transparency in the sector following a difficult few years across the construction industry.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100322 project_image_fid=167722]

“It is important to recognise those that have and continue to demonstrate a high level of resilience and reliability in the delivery of trustworthy built assets,” Walters said. &nbsp;

Mirvac’s Head of Residential, Stuart Penklis said the 5 Gold Star rating had been earned through five decades of designing and building high quality, well-designed buildings across the commercial and residential sectors.&nbsp;

“We are incredibly proud to be the first, and so far, only, group in Australia to be awarded the highest possible 5 Gold Star rating,” said Penklis.&nbsp;

“Mirvac has consistently delivered a track record of quality development and now our achievement has been endorsed through an independent assessment process. Raising the standard of construction in NSW is critically important to protect purchasers and restore confidence in buying off the plan and newly built apartments.”&nbsp;

Mirvac is currently progressing with a number of residential apartment and master-planned community projects including Nine by Mirvac, Green Square and Langlee in New South Wales.&nbsp;

The group are also developing FORME at their community&nbsp;Tullamore in Melbourne, along with a number of Queensland projects, including Waterfront in Newstead and Charlton House at Ascot Green which is located on the site of the Brisbane Racing Club.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93788 project_image_fid=186245]

Mirvac’s first build to rent project in Melbourne, LIV Munro, reached practical completion this month and is set to open next month.&nbsp;

Penklis said Mirvac’s integrated business model in which design, development, construction, marketing and sales are all under one roof, plays a significant role in delivering design excellence and unparalleled quality developments.&nbsp;

“The integration of best in field experts involved in every step of the process, from conception to completion to after sales customer care, is a clear competitive advantage for Mirvac,” Penklis said.&nbsp;

“For the customer, this guarantees absolute confidence that the mark of Mirvac quality is embedded in every little detail on each and every project,” he added. &nbsp;

“Mirvac enjoys a high level of customer loyalty with more than a third of new apartment projects bought by repeat Mirvac purchasers. Trust like that is not manufactured overnight; it is the result of five decades in which we have built some of the nation’s most enduring iconic buildings that have stood the test of time.”&nbsp;

“Equifax is pleased to announce that Mirvac has achieved a 5 Gold Star rating, the highest rating available under iCIRT,” Walters said.&nbsp;

“Following a detailed, independent and rigorous review, Mirvac were observed to have excelled across each of the six assessment criteria.”

Mirvac General Manager of Design Management and Construction, Jason Vieusseux, said the 5 Gold Star rating is testament to Mirvac’s attention to detail and the pursuit of quality that is applied on every Mirvac project.&nbsp;

“Even in the current climate where there are enormous pressures on construction due to wet weather, constrained supply chains and workforce shortages, we never cut corners,” said Vieusseux.&nbsp;

“That uncompromising approach to construction quality has enabled us to retain and attract the very best construction professionals and work with experienced subcontractors who take pride in their workmanship and the finished products we deliver.&nbsp;

“Within our construction team, which comprises nearly 400 employees across the eastern states, we have decades of experience and knowledge which complements the technology and data driven processes that are now being used by Mirvac Constructions to build with greater precision and achieve higher quality outcomes than ever before.&nbsp;

“The focus on construction quality over the past few years and the efforts of the NSW Building Commissioner have made it more difficult for sub-standard builders to operate. This is going to benefit every property buyer in NSW and lift the reputation of the entire construction sector.”&nbsp;

Bespoke property developers, Feltham Property Group are inching closer to a sell-out in their most recent luxury residential project, Oakman Residences.&nbsp;

Nestled on the border of blue-chip suburbs Toowong and Taringa, construction is well underway at Oakman Residences as over 70 per cent of residences have now been sold.&nbsp;

Owner and Director, Cameron Feltham, said the majority of interest so far has come from local buyers living in the area as they understand how truly special this community is.

The bulk earthworks have now been completed onsite, with the important milestone an exciting time for Feltham, who noted the risk of having large open areas.

“It’s often one of the riskiest parts of the build, with with large amount of open areas often the subject to storms and erosion,” Feltham said.

“We found plenty of rock so we should have excellent foundations!”

"Over the next couple of weeks well start work on the external retaining walls in front of residences 12-16, as well as our northern basement," he added.&nbsp;

Designed by the Elizabeth Anderson-fronted Hayes Anderson Lynch, in collaboration with Studio LMD in the interiors, Oakman Residences offers luxury, low maintenance living, all surrounded by parklands and greenery.

The timeless design intertwines with traditional Queenslander elements and modern interior fitouts to deliver just 23 residences.&nbsp;

17 park-fronting residences with spacious three-bedroom floorplans will be delivered across the site, along with six full-floor three-bedroom sky homes, afforded with their own lift access.&nbsp;

“Designed around community, Oakman Residences has been crafted to create a sense of privacy and seclusion to each of the dwellings, while feelings protected and nestled within a community,” says Anderson.

Each of the homes are complete with high-end finishes, including timber floors, Bosch appliances and ducted air-conditioning, while also incorporating oversized balconies, butler’s pantries, extra high-ceilings and curved feature walls.&nbsp;

The sales team also recently unveiled a detailed scale model of Oakman Residences, which Feltham says really brings the project to life.&nbsp;

“It makes Oakham Residences easier to understand and appreciate the level of thought and detail that has gone into the project,” Feltham added.&nbsp;
