<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sunland-group">Sunland Group</a> has officially lodged plans for its first Gold Coast apartment project since the departure of the Abedian family from the company three years ago, unveiling a new high-rise proposal for a prominent Broadbeach corner site on Old Burleigh Road.

The application was submitted by an entity directed by Tom Jamieson, stepson of longtime Sunland leader Soheil Abedian, and Riaz Rezvanipour, brother-in-law of Sahba Abedian, Soheil’s son.

Sunland acquired the 1,283 sqm site on the corner of Old Burleigh Road and Armrick Avenue for $9.5 million late last year and is now seeking approval for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/99-101-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">42-storey tower with 81 apartments</a>.

<img alt="First look: Sunland Group returns to Broadbeach with new Old Burleigh Road tower plans" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fea2946d-90ee-4cfc-babe-2a8ad5db2cb6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/pers.png?VersionId=BV0fihJw31nDIQ8ozY_h3GbS8mxDyhnm" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/contreras-earl-architecture">Contreras Earl Architecture</a>, the proposed tower at 99-101 Old Burleigh Road would deliver a predominantly larger-format apartment mix aimed at the owner-occupier market. Plans include 17 two-bedroom apartments, 55 three-bedroom apartments, and nine four-bedroom residences across 35 residential levels.

The development also incorporates three basement levels, four podium parking levels, two levels of communal recreation facilities, and rooftop plant and equipment. A total of 189 car spaces are proposed, significantly exceeding the 90 spaces required under the planning scheme.

The architecture adopts a sculpted, curvilinear form, with deep wraparound balconies and integrated landscaping intended to soften the tower’s vertical expression. The planning report states the building’s “slender footprint/form provides a complimentary yet varied built form within the local streetscape” and contributes to “a varied, yet ordered skyline.”

Contreras Earl noted in its Architectural Statement that from the early stages, the project addressed a fundamental challenge: how to accommodate the required residential yield while avoiding the conventional model of a tower sitting on a rigid, fully resolved parking podium.

“The most direct response would have been to consolidate parking into a singular, flat podium and extrude a repetitive tower above,” the statement said. “While efficient, this approach would result in a consolidated built form with limited engagement with the surrounding landscape and public realm.”

Instead, the conventional podium model was “deliberately rejected”. The architects described the base of the building as “a landscaped architectural condition where structure, planting and circulation are integrated”.

“Rather than presenting a continuous built mass, the base of the building is articulated through a series of concrete planter elements that organise the podium into a fragmented system,” the statement said. “This approach reduces the perceived bulk of the lower levels while establishing a more permeable interface with the streetscape and adjacent open space.”

<img alt="Sunland" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="923fad8d-c960-4527-8fbe-975cf1ddf88d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-25%20at%2010.32.03%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=pngwb0hYOIUpq9vDw6F2EsOiVuHF3DiX" />

&nbsp;

The site sits within the High Density Residential Zone and inside the City of Gold Coast’s unrestricted “HX” building height area, where the planning framework anticipates intensified residential development tied to the expanding light rail corridor. The planning report notes the area is undergoing “transition toward more intense development forms” given its proximity to Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise, and high-frequency public transport infrastructure.

Positioned directly opposite Broadbeach Park and within walking distance of Florida Gardens light rail station, the development would sit among a rapidly evolving stretch of Old Burleigh Road that has become one of the Gold Coast’s most active apartment development corridors.

The application joins a growing pipeline of luxury residential projects reshaping Broadbeach, including nearby developments by 5Point Projects, Polycell, and Graya.

The planning report argues the project contributes toward the Gold Coast’s long-term housing targets under the South East Queensland Regional Plan, which forecasts the need for more than 100,000 additional high-rise dwellings across the city by 2046.

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

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

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

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

Brisbane developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/cavcorp">Cavcorp</a> has lodged plans for a new mixed-use residential development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/55-wyandra-street-teneriffe-qld-4005">55 Wyandra Street</a>, Teneriffe, anchored by an 85-metre public laneway designed to reconnect the suburb’s riverfront with the Gasworks precinct.

The buildings, known as Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane, would replace the existing Queensland Cotton head office site with a 15-storey residential tower transitioning to eight storeys toward Helen Street. The project has been designed by Plazibat Architects and lodged as a code assessable development application for 93 apartments across a 3,401 sqm mixed-use site within the Newstead and Teneriffe Waterfront neighbourhood plan.

Central to the scheme is the transformation of an existing service easement into a publicly accessible cross-block connection linking Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the new laneway will act as both a pedestrian shortcut and a landscaped civic space between the Teneriffe Riverwalk, ferry terminal, and Gasworks precinct.

<img alt="First Look: Cavcorp unveils Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane plans for landmark wellness tower in Teneriffe" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="26e7f058-b065-4de8-b13d-a2b8cb64dfcc" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/bldg.png?VersionId=sELS0ZKYi361oYipUa1BIKfe_.DLZoFV" />

“The revised proposal delivers a legacy public-realm cross-block link, permanently secured for community use, transforming an existing private easement into a safe, high-quality pedestrian connection between the Teneriffe heritage riverwalk and the Gasworks–Long Island precinct,” the planning report states.

The laneway will sit beneath a large subtropical loggia integrated into the podium levels of the development. The design incorporates deep landscaping, water gardens, lobby spaces, business lounges, and ground-floor apartments to create what Cavcorp describes as a climate-responsive “urban verandah.”

The tower itself has been designed as a slender form with recessed floorplates and curved translucent corners inspired by contemporary Japanese architecture. The building height aligns with the Commercial Road precinct controls, which permit towers up to 15 storeys within proximity to Longland Street.

The project will comprise a mix of larger-format apartments aimed at owner-occupiers, downsizers, and families. The proposed apartment mix includes 11 loggia apartments across the lower levels, 50 four-bedroom Sky-Terrace apartments from levels three to seven, and 32 Sky-Pool Homes occupying the upper tower levels. The Sky-Pool Homes will feature private thermal plunge pools integrated into oversized balconies.

According to the application, the apartments are intended to reinterpret the scale and character of Teneriffe’s woolstore conversions and Queensland homes within a vertical residential format.

“The sky-pool homes build on Cavcorp’s previous projects and introduce a distinct apartment typology to Teneriffe, informed by both local and international precedent and responding to an identified market demand for enhanced safety, space and amenity,” the planning submission notes.

A major focus of the proposal is its five-level wellness and lifestyle offering, extending from the basement through to the rooftop.

Amenities proposed include a rooftop Swim &amp; Racquet Club with a 25-metre Olympic lap pool and tennis court, coworking spaces and libraries, golf simulators, wine storage, concierge facilities, business lounges, pet wash areas, and rooftop longevity-focused wellness spaces with spas, outdoor fitness zones, and landscaped terraces.

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

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

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

Brisbane Apartments

&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;

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.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f3d7deaa-d6c1-4a66-9e0d-5c83c2fa5687" 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%208.21.37%20am.png?VersionId=QblLqmPCwvbPMUeDhHmsjQJDi_Ixjs.2" /></a>Render of the South Brisbane tower.

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.

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;
