<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.

Brisbane Apartments

The private Brisbane property developer, Stockwell, is continuing to expand its footprint in the inner Brisbane suburb of West End.

They&#39;ve submitted plans to the Brisbane City Council for an eight-level development in West End, around the corner from their HQ. The apartments will follow Stockwell&#39;s extensive investment in the suburb, which has seen them previously develop Virtuoso West End, Muse West End, and Encore West End.

&quot;This development continues Stockwell&rsquo;s vision of creating high-standard apartment living in West End through providing larger apartment types and configurations for owner occupiers and families,&quot; a Stockwell spokesperson told Urban.

The proposed project, at&nbsp;10 Kurilpa Street,&nbsp;on the corner of Kurilpa and Baile​y Street, will see 78 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments built on a 2,365 sqm site.

<a href="/new-apartments/west-end-qld-4101"><img alt="" height="756" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-07_at_10.06.59_am.png" width="1212" /></a>

The local architecture, Mode, has put together the plans, orienting apartment&nbsp;living space and balconies&nbsp;towards unobstructed views. The&nbsp;north-east apartments capture the Brisbane River and beyond to Mt Coot-tha, while the east facing apartments have open views of the CBD and the leafy low rise residential part of West End.

There will be a maximum 11 apartments per floor.

There&#39;s nine&nbsp;different configurations on offer for buyers. The two-bedroom apartments will start from 82 sqm, the three beds from 112 sqm and the larger four-bedroom apartments starting. from 147 sqm.

<a href="/new-apartments/west-end-qld-4101"><img alt="" height="764" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-07_at_10.12.15_am.png" width="1262" /></a>

The top level, level eight, will have just five apartments. It will share the level with the resident amenity; a swimming pool, pool deck, barbecue area, dining and terraces.

&quot;The elevated space supports an active lifestyle providing breathing room in an increasingly dense urban environment,&quot;&nbsp; Mode note in their proposal submission.

Stockwell, which was founded in the early 1950s as a construction company, are also behind Cremorne on Fish Lane and Croft on Fish Lane, in the popular new precinct in South&nbsp;Bri​sbane.

They've submitted plans to the Brisbane City Council for an eight-level development in West End, around the corner from their HQ.



Stockwell set for West End, Brisbane apartments

The Brisbane property developer Kenlynn is heading back to Kangaroo Point for its next apartment project.

Following its successful development of Thornclyffe Residences, the redevelopment of the 1880s heritage-listed Thornclyffe House,&nbsp;Kenlynn, has lodged plans for a 15-level project dubbed 130Lambert, just up the road&nbsp;112-130 Lambert Street.

They secured both of the sites late last year for a combined $5.3 million, with the amalgamated sites totaling over 1,200 sqm.

Local architecture firm Ellivo Architects has drawn up the plans for the two and three-bedroom project which will feature contemporary sub-tropical design, incorporating a sequence of landscape components such as&nbsp;streetscape and entries, terrace gardens, and communal rooftop garden.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="826" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-04_at_11.35.02_am.png" width="1594" />

"The overall design aims for an environmental and socially sustainable landscape and an integrated landscape experience with the building architecture and function, activating the site and creating a vibrant precinct and place to live," Kenlynn note on their website.

<a href="/new-apartments/130lambert">130Lambert</a> is set to launch to the market in the second half of 2024.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145081 project_image_fid=281209]

Kenlynn's development manager, Andrew Travers, said the design is informed by impacts of COVID on how people live and work and attracting residents back to inner city living in apartments which offer generous space, good natural light/ventilation, plus work from home spaces.

"The development includes significant communal recreation and fitness spaces, edible garden, plus meeting/multi-purpose spaces," Travers added.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="840" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-04_at_11.34.54_am.png" width="1638" />

"We have also incorporated dedicated EOT facility for more secure and purpose designed bike storage (noting future KP green bridge) for the increased use of active transport options in the city. We are also looking to incorporate dedicated parcel lockers (including some refrigerated) for online deliveries.

"Further into detailed design we will be looking to incorporate Solar Array for communal power, plus provision for EV charging."

Kenlynn has previously developed townhouse projects in New Farm and Hendra. Late last year they sold the Hendra Bowls Club for&nbsp;$3,575,000.

Kenlynn developed an eight-level, 20-apartment block around Thornclyffe House, a Victorian-style Queenslander well over a century old.

They secured both of the sites late last year for a combined $5.3 million, with the amalgamated sites totalling over 1,200 sqm

Kenlynn set for another boutique Kangaroo Point apartment development

Mirvac has officially launched the latest residential offering at its&nbsp;racecourse-fronting Ascot Green community in Brisbane.

Charlton House, which has been fast tracked due to sales success in the first two stages, Tulloch House&nbsp;and Ascot House, will have over 100 apartments across its 13 levels.

There will be&nbsp;one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, as well as a a limited collection of three and four-bedroom villas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=194811]

Two-bedroom and two-bathroom apartments start from $755,000, while the four premium villas, integrated into the first levels of Charlton House, are a first for the Ascot Green community.

Designed by Mirvac Design, Charlton House also features a rooftop sanctuary, with a private dining room taking in Brisbane city skyline views, lounge areas and extensive subtropical landscaping, along with a gym and resort-style pool on the ground level overlooking the racecourse.

Charlton House is the third building to be released by Mirvac at Ascot Green and is part of Brisbane Racing Club&rsquo;s $1.2 billion masterplan redevelopment of Eagle Farm, to include apartments, commercial offices, a new shopping and dining precinct and a range of entertainment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=194814]

Brisbane City Council approved the development application for the $131 million, 13-level building in late December.

Mirvac General Manager, Residential Queensland, Warwick Bible said the group had worked to bring the apartments to market as soon as possible, with enquiries continuing to race in following the sell-out of its second building, Tulloch House, in July last year.

&ldquo;There were a number of people who missed out on securing their place in Tulloch House who have been eagerly awaiting this next release and we&rsquo;ve continued to field new enquiries from those wanting to join the community,&rdquo; he said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=194813]

&ldquo;Demand for quality apartments in blue-chip Brisbane locations such as this have grown exponentially over the past six months, and we anticipate apartments in Charlton House will sell quickly as a result.&rdquo;

Bible said about 60 per cent of buyers in the first two stages &ndash; Ascot House and Tulloch House &ndash; had moved from the directly surrounding suburbs such as Ascot, Hamilton and Clayfield, with Charlton House expected to be no different.

&nbsp;

Charlton House&#39;s design has been guided by the &lsquo;Buildings that Breathe&rsquo; vision and Brisbane&rsquo;s subtropical climate. Its architects describe it as a re-imagining of the classic Queenslander and Ascot aesthetic, with light-filled spaces that can be opened and closed to capture sunshine and breezes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=179497]

&ldquo;The apartments and villas blend timeless refinement, style and sophistication, with lush greenery and a comforting feeling of home, which is a cornerstone of the design,&rdquo; Bible added.

&ldquo;More than 50 hectares of green space, including the racecourse, lay at the doorstep, giving residents the feeling they are in their own private sanctuary, while the Brisbane CBD and so many fantastic restaurants, cafes and shops are close by. It is the epitome of the best of both worlds.&rdquo;

Two-bedroom and two-bathroom apartments start from $755,000, while the four premium villas, integrated into the first levels of Charlton House, are a first for the Ascot Green community.

The ever-busy South East Queensland apartment developer, Mosaic Property Group, has pivoted away from a hotel apartment development at its recently acquired Milton, Brisbane site.

Mosaic, led by Brook Monahan, secured 33 Railway Terrace, Milton, a near 1,600 sqm site not far from the Brisbane River, late last year.

The sale came with plans for a mixed-use hotel and apartment tower, however Mosaic, who are always keenly developing for the owner-occupier, has taken a change of direction, amending the plans to create 113 two and three-bedroom apartments across the 20 levels.

<a href="/new-apartments/the-manning-by-mosaic-33-railway-terrace-milton-qld-4064"><img alt="" height="531" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-31_at_9.13.56_am.png" width="965" /></a>

They had BDA Architecture amend the design, which will include Mosaic&#39;s signature luxury rooftop amenity level, as well as ground floor retail.

&quot;Intending to appeal directly to owner-occupiers, we have removed the previous plans for 73 hotel/accommodation suites and 500 sqm of office space, making it primarily a residential building,&quot; Mosaic&#39;s website read.

&quot;This move allows us to lower the number of basement levels from four to one, which will reduce the impact of excavation and piling construction works on the local community.

&quot;A strong focus on quality, sustainability, and amenity aligns with our award-winning reputation while at the same time respecting local context and Milton&#39;s distinct character.

&quot;Quality ground floor retail will deliver much-needed activation and rejuvenation, creating the opportunity to cultivate a sense of community within the building and the wider local area.&quot;

33 Railway Terrace, which will be dubbed The Manning by Mosaic,&nbsp;will pursue&nbsp;UDIA EnviroDevelopment certification, implementing a range of initiatives, from design to construction and ongoing maintenance.

Mosaic recently lodged plans for am 81-apartment tower&nbsp;in East Brisbane, which will be one of seven apartment projects they intend to launch across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast, in 2022.

Mosaic&#39;s track record in Brisbane&#39;s inner-west is enviable.&nbsp;Last year alone they sold out both of their&nbsp;Toowong projects,&nbsp;The Patterson&nbsp;and&nbsp;Kensington.

Mosaic amend mixed-use hotel and apartment design for Milton tower to focus on owner-occupiers

The renowned South East Queensland apartment developer, Mosaic Property, has lodged plans for its latest Brisbane apartment project.

They&#39;ll be developing in East Brisbane, where they&#39;ve previously had quick-fire&nbsp;sell-out success with The Sinclair, which is to be completed later this year.

The latest project, at 89 Lytton Road, occupies a prime position across the street from&nbsp;Mowbray Park and the Brisbane River. The blue chip 2,563 sqm corner&nbsp;site, currently home to the East Brisbane Shopping Centre, also has street frontages to Northcote Street and Heidelberg Street. Mosaic secured the site mid-last year.

Mosaic had DKO Architiecture put together the creative plans, which saw them incorporate&nbsp;the Moreton Bay Fig trees at Mowbray Park in to their design.

<img alt="" height="700" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-29_at_9.21.08_am.png" width="730" />

&quot;The main design driver was to reconcile the need to provide shelter and respite from the inner city urban environment, and at the same time, open up to the fantastic views on offer, almost 270 degrees around the site,&quot; DKO noted in their submission to the Brisbane City Council.

&quot;We drew lessons from two major landmarks close to the site &ndash; the leafy sheltered spaces in Mowbray Park created by the Moreton Bay Fig trees as well as the bricks and verandas from Hanworth House.&quot;

The fig tree response saw DKO create a unique design. The columns throughout the tower take on the form of branches, with the structure transferring through the raking sculptured columns at ground then into the basement grid below.

&quot;Metaphorically and literally [the building is] expressing the form of fig trees,&quot; DKO note.

<img alt="" height="522" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-29_at_9.22.24_am.png" width="958" />

There will be 81 apartments across the eight-level building. Mosaic has always positioned itself as a developer for the owner-occupier. They&#39;re offering three different configuration types,&nbsp;33 two-bed apartments, 22 two-bedroom plus multi-purpose room, and 26 three-bedrooms plus multi-purpose rooms.

Residents will have access to the private wellness and gym space on the ground level, located beside two retail tenancies.

There&#39;s further private amenity on the rooftop, which will feature a luxury, resort-style pool, day beds, barbecue&nbsp;and dining areas, and extensive landscaping by Wild Studio.

The partially covered rooftop will offer panoramic views of the CBD skyline, Brisbane River, and Mt Cootha.&nbsp;

<img alt="" height="354" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-29_at_9.21.44_am.png" width="436" />

Speaking to Urban earlier this year, Mosaic Property boss Brook Monahan said there is huge potential in the Brisbane apartment market, particularly in the owner-occupier space.

&quot;There&#39;s just not enough high quality built form for owner occupiers wanting bigger units, and world class amenity, in the five kilometre ring around Brisbane,&quot; Monahan said, suggesting there&#39;s been a chronic undersupply for that type of buyer&nbsp;since around 2018.

Mosaic is set to launch seven projects to the market this year, spread across Brisbane and the Gold Coast. They have their sights set on Broadbeach, Coolangatta and Bilinga on the GC.

Since mid-2020, when Queen&#39;s Wharf Residences apartments flew off the shelves, prospective buyers in the $3.6 billion Queen&#39;s Wharf Brisbane on the Brisbane River have been waiting for another opportunity.

Now they&#39;ve got the opportunity, with the launch of Queen&#39;s Wharf Tower, the neighbouring tower to Queen&#39;s Wharf Residences, and the highest tower in the popular riverside precinct, which is currently under construction by the established building firm Multiplex.

The 71-level tower, which will soar 250 metres in to the sky, making it the sixth highest tower in the Queensland capital, will home 819 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a handful of exclusive penthouses.

Located on the corner of Margaret and William Street, apartments in Queen&#39;s Wharf Tower have been designed by Cottee Parker to take advantage of either city, Botanic Gardens, or river views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13276 project_image_fid=80722]

Multiplex have been working on the precinct since 2019, when they were award the $1.5 billion construction contract by&nbsp;Destination Brisbane Consortium, a joint venture led by The Star Entertainment Group along with its Hong Kong-based partners, Chow&nbsp;Tai&nbsp;Fook&nbsp;Enterprises and Far East Consortium.

Construction of Queen&#39;s Wharf Tower, to be the highest tower in the precinct, is slated for 2023, with completion to follow in 2025.

It will be&nbsp;the fifth sky tower in the seven-hectare integrated resort development which will surround nine heritage buildings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13276 project_image_fid=80734]

The retail component of the project will be anchored by luxury brand retailer DFS, which will create&nbsp;a three-level T Galleria Emporium&nbsp;as part of the 40,000 sqm shopping precinct.

The Sky Deck sits 100 metres above street level and will feature sky-high dining amongst subtropical landscaping, affording visitors a 360-degree view of the city.

Construction of Queen&#39;s Wharf Tower is slated for 2023, with completion to follow in 2025.

Queen&#39;s Wharf Residences was one of the hottest projects in Brisbane when it hit the market in 2020, selling 75 per cent of its apartments in eight weeks.

When the whole precinct is finished, it will have 12 football fields&rsquo; worth of public space, 2,000 apartments, 1,000 premium hotel rooms, 50 restaurants, as well as retail space, a 1,000-person ballroom and a casino.

The Queensland developer Sarazin is continuing to build out its pipeline around The Gabba in Brisbane's burgeoning Woolloongabba, the focal point of the 2032 Olympic Games.

Fresh off the back of the successful Silk One apartment development literally overlooking the home of cricket,&nbsp;Sarazin is set to create another impressive development.

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.

The towers were designed by Hayes Anderson Lynch, who were inspired by cloud formations, which is where the name Nuage, French for cloud, derived.

"Nuage takes a modern interpretation of the Art Deco style and unites it with Australian subtropical design, resulting in soft curved forms highlighted by a refined and considered material palette," HAL noted in the submission to the Brisbane City Council.

"Nuage Woolloongabba is an architectural vision of soft elegance, inspired by cloud formations, the delight of Australian subtropical climate, and the fine craftsmanship and rich materiality of Art Deco architecture and design.

"The dual curved towers feature shimmering metallic accents, an homage to the glamour and exuberance of Art Deco.

"Art Deco emerged in France in the 1920s and was defined by streamlined geometry broken up by curved ornamental elements and the use of “man-made” materials. It is associated with luxury and modernity, a celebration of avant-garde geometric forms and beautifully crafted materials.

"Nuage takes a modern interpretation of the Art Deco style and unites it with Australian subtropical design, resulting in soft curved forms highlighted by a refined and considered material palette."

<a href="/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="956" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-15_at_8.06.38_pm.png" width="752" /></a>

Nuage North and Nuage South offer 13 different apartment configuration types, with the one-bedders starting at 50 sqm of internal space to the 88 sqm two-bedroom apartments.

The development will activate the ground plan, with six commercial tenancies planned for the ground level of the towers, creating an indoor-outdoor retail arcade.

Both towers will be crowned with rooftop amenity, including an infinity pool, kitchen, dining, and fire pit areas on each. One of the towers has an outdoor gym and yoga studio.

<a href="/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="962" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-15_at_8.27.56_pm.png" width="1614" /></a>

Landscape architect Wild Studio&nbsp;suggest the&nbsp;Brisbane's subtropical climate has been celebrated within the landscape of the Nuage project.

"The lush street interface is a subtropical haven, creating a soft transition between outdoors and indoors.

"Brisbane has warm humid summers and temperate winters, allowing for a very comfortable outdoor climate most of the year.

"Shading and plants can be used to create a micro-climate, offering relief to Brisbane's warmer weather.

<a href="/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="646" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-15_at_8.21.45_pm.png" width="740" /></a>

Lighting is an important feature in Nuage's design, HAL note.

"The large expanses of glass and openings allow ample daylight to filter into the residential towers.

"Nuage utilises artificial light to create an iconic nighttime experience. The curved forms and material pallete complement and enhance the effect of the lighting."

Woolloongabba is one of the most talked about areas in the Brisbane residential property market, given the amount of infrastructure planned throughout the suburb as the city readies itself to host the 2032 Olympic Games.

Nuage is just 300 metres&nbsp;from The Gabba, the home of cricket, which will be the focal point of the Olympic Games.

<a href="/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="344" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-16_at_10.20.39_am.png" width="672" /></a>

"Brisbane's city frame suburbs are currently experiencing a rapid construction growth, with Woolloongabba set to change dramatically over the next decade due to the 2032 Olympics," HAL added.

"Numerous projects have been proposed and approved by Council for construction in close proximity to the subject site, creating a new and progressive shift in the dynamics of the suburb.

"The proposed development will integrate with, and help shape the exciting future of this inner-city suburb."

<h2>Snapshot</h2>

Where

Located at the edge of Woolloongabba and East Brisbane, the site is in a central and well connected inner-city suburb. The corner of Wellington Road and Nile Street offers this project a unique opportunity to combine retail, commercial and residential areas in a single development to revitalise an underutilised area in a prime location.

What

Nuage will become an iconic landmark within Brisbane through its integration of lighting and landscape within a strong architectural form. Nuage translates to cloud in French. The flowing organic forms of the residential towers improve the subtropical opportunities of the building by offering a greater external surface for light, ventilation and views. These forms create an iconic visual form to Brisbane's ever-changing skyline.

How

Nuage provides a residential development above a vibrant mixed-use commercial precinct, with integrated landscape, subtropical design, and lighting. Nuage will quickly become an iconic landmark within Brisbane due to its elegant architecture, location, and subtropical design.

Fresh off the back of the successful Silk One apartment development literally overlooking the home of cricket, Sarazin is set to create another impressive development.

The established property investor and developer, Centa Property Group, has lodged plans to create a striking apartment development in Brisbane&#39;s Indooroopilly.

Rothelowman has put together the designs for the 12-level building at 4-12 Lambert Road and 7 Railway Avenue, which will have 95 apartments.

Typical for the renowned architecture firm&#39;s inner-city projects, they are set to revitalize&nbsp;the ground floor, creating a mini-retail precinct for four tenancy spaces, and locate the residential amenity on the roof.

The project will be Centa&#39;s first in Brisbane, having recently developed a few buildings on the Gold Coast.

Centa Director Jason Yuen said that in&nbsp;recent years they had&nbsp;noticed great developments&nbsp;taking place in South Brisbane and the Fortitude&nbsp;Valley/Newstead region.&nbsp;

<a href="/new-apartments/4-12-lambert-road-indooroopilly"><img alt="" height="918" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-14_at_9.59.19_am.png" width="1240" /></a>

&quot;When we acquired this site in 2020, we saw an&nbsp;opportunity to be pioneers in delivering a sensational project for the Indooroopilly community,&quot; Yuen told Urban.

&quot;We also noticed there was a lack of/shortage in apartment living, catering for the down-sizers and acreage owners moving closer to the city, but still able to send their children to University and private schools whilst still enjoying the amenity they have always had.

&quot;The site is within close proximity&nbsp;to some of Brisbane&#39;s best schools, the iconic Indooroopilly shopping centre, two major golf courses, the University of Queensland, the Witton Barracks park which will be soon upgraded by Brisbane City Council.

&quot;We see this is a true transit-oriented development that is designed to bring people, activities, public space and amenities together.&quot;

The terracotta building will be made up of two and three-bedroom apartments, with over a quarter of the apartments having a multi-purpose room.

The rooftop will home a swimming pool and adjoining wading pool, a designated space for outdoor dining and a barbecue area, an outdoor gym space, and a yoga lawn.

<a href="/new-apartments/4-12-lambert-road-indooroopilly"><img alt="" height="600" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/indooroopilly.jpg" width="900" /></a>

Rothelowman advise in their submission to the Brisbane City Council that the liveability of each dwelling is embodied in the architecture.

&quot;Consideration and analysis for how each space will be occupied throughout the day is reflected in the design of a series of indoor and outdoor rooms,&quot; Rothelowman note.

&quot;The apartment experience is created by the sectional relationship between interior and exterior space.

&quot;A downturn landscaped planter with occupiable Juliette balcony to the east and west facades moderates views, western summer sun and creates privacy.

&quot;The architecture becomes the interior and the interior becomes the architecture.&quot;

<a href="/new-apartments/4-12-lambert-road-indooroopilly"><img alt="" height="868" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-14_at_9.59.04_am.png" width="1220" /></a>

Active frontages are provided to Lambert Road and Railway Avenue to promote street life at the ground plane.

&quot;Places for incidental interaction and relaxation enhance the opportunity for walkability and social interaction along the Railway Avenue Precinct,&quot; Rothelowman added.

A landscaped laneway extends the active frontage into the site to promote permeability.

Centa, who invest in both commercial and residential property, has been acquiring the Lambert Street amalgamation since late 2020.

Most recently Centa, founded in 1978&nbsp;by Henry Yuen, has been developing on the Gold Coast.

Their last project, Summit 110, on the Broadwater in Labrador, completed in 2020. Before that they developed Spice Broadbeach, the 57-apartment development&nbsp;which was finished in 2017.

Centa is currently working on another residential mid-rise development project on the Gold Coast. &nbsp;We have 2 x retail projects and 1 x land sub division under construction at the moment.&nbsp;

The terracotta building will be made up of two and three-bedroom apartments, with over a quarter of the apartments having a multi-purpose room

When leading Brisbane-based residential developers, Rob and Andrew Gray of Graya, first laid their eyes on the potential New Farm site of their first multi-residential development, they knew they were onto something special.

Securing the perfect multi-residential site in New Farm, arguably Brisbane&rsquo;s best lifestyle suburb, proved to be challenging from the outset, with Graya taking more than two years to select the site after considering a number of other options.

&ldquo;We knew finding a site that fit the criteria we needed wasn&rsquo;t going to be easy, but given our buyer demographic, we had a fairly tight brief on what we needed from it&ndash;with river and city views being at the top of our list&rdquo; Andrew said .

&quot;With its proximity to Brisbane city, and major lifestyle precincts including James Street, Teneriffe, and Howard Smith Wharves, property and real estate in the area is hard to come by and tightly held&rdquo;.

Once the site at 60 Moray Street had been secured,&nbsp;both Rob and Andrew knew they had a site that would allow them to do something new, innovative, and ultimately iconic.

<img alt="" height="794" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-03_at_9.12.01_am.png" width="1186" />

With its grand corner frontage, the design potential of the site was unlimited, and there was an opportunity to execute something that was design-driven and not commercially driven like many other developments in the area.

&quot;Being our first multi-residential development, I wanted this development to be design-led and reinvigorate the tired streetscape of Moray Street currently littered with run-of-the-mill brick unit developments,&quot; Rob said.

&quot;We also wanted to offer something unique to the suburb too, full-floor sky homes rather than jam packing as many units as we could in.&quot;

<img alt="" height="781" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-03_at_9.11.51_am.png" width="1176" />

The concept of Maison was born, and a brief was conceived to deliver something completely innovative to the suburb, some of the main design elements encompassing soft curves, plank form concrete and a major focus on landscaping.

&ldquo;The core focus of Maison was the environment and adding a living, breathing piece of architecture that added significant aesthetic value to the New Farm streetscape,&quot; Rob added.

&quot;Yes, Maison had to offer residents unrivalled luxury internally, but it also had to give back to the suburb in terms of its presence.&quot;

Rob and Andrew&rsquo;s vision for Maison is evident just by looking at the stunning photos taken of the project.

The brutal aesthetic of the surrounding buildings is instantly softened by Maison&rsquo;s bespoke curved planter boxes which were a first of its kind for this project. The level of detail (and commitment to the project brief) is evident when looking closely at the planter boxes with their &lsquo;wood form&rsquo; look further elevating Maison&rsquo;s fa&ccedil;ade.

<img alt="" height="1062" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-03_at_2.07.42_pm.png" width="1242" />

Unlike other projects in the area, significant time and effort were invested in the &#39;luscious&#39; landscape design of Maison. Given it was a key design feature of the development, and a major selling point, Graya ensured the long-term viability of the landscaping by selecting a range of drought-tolerant plants as well as implementing a grey-water reticulation system to minimise the water usage of the building-another major sustainability point of the project.

&quot;Maintaining a green building can be challenging and costly if not implemented correctly. We&#39;ve spent time in designing a system that is viable for the long-term, but also does not compromise on the aesthetic of the building design inside and out&quot;, Andrew said.

One of the most eye-catching elements of this project is the juxtaposition it creates between old and new architecture and just how far Brisbane has come along in terms of building design.

This commitment to design excellence is a consistent theme-with each of the beautifully appointed luxury sky homes featuring carefully curated, and high-end, fittings and fixtures as you&#39;d expect with a development of this calibre. Residents also have access to a fully-functional rooftop community area and pool which enjoys commanding city and river views.

<img alt="" height="778" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-03_at_9.11.31_am.png" width="1162" />

Maison is evidence that multi-residential buildings do not have to conform to the normal standard, that not all of a project&#39;s budget has to go into the internal fit-out. Sometimes, investing time and effort into the facade of a building is worth the reward in terms of its impact on elevating the streetscape of a suburb.&quot;

At Graya, we&#39;re not interested in knocking out run-of-the-mill developments with a pure focus on cramming as many units in as possible. We want to deliver iconic architecture projects that elevate our city-that contribute to the community in terms of their aesthetic.

We feel there is a gap in this high-end multi-residential market, and we&#39;re looking forward to executing more design-led owner occupied projects in the years to come&quot;, Rob said.

Graya has a range of upcoming multi-residential developments coming up, including the 21-unit development Canvas Bulimba, and another two projects, York, and Blook, in New Farm.

When Rob and Andrew Gray first laid their eyes on the potential New Farm site of their first multi-residential development, they knew they were onto something special.

How GRAYA created Maison, their luxury New Farm apartment development

Azure Development has smashed the inner-Brisbane apartment price record, selling their sprawling New Farm penthouse atop One Five Six Oxlade Drive for $11 million.

A local Brisbane family secured the 1,025 sqm space crowning the luxury apartment project of just 10 apartments, arguably one of the best, and last, riverfront-facing residential properties.

The penthouse, complete with own rooftop terrace with swimming pool, has four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a seven car garage, terrace gardens, and a self-contained basement with a wine cellar.

Trent Keirnan, Director of Azure Development, attributes the record outcome to a growing sector of discerning buyers seeking space and quality.

“Enquiries have doubled in the last 18 months for supersized residences. The depth of buyers in this market is a by-product of an expanding demographic of clients willing to invest significant capital into these mansions in the sky,” Keirnan said.

“The market is accommodating demand from an increased surge in the property prices above $5 million and Brisbane has benefitted significantly in the post Covid adjustment of mid-2020.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95611 project_image_fid=180226]
