<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.

<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 off the plan apartments

The inner-west’s latest residential high-rise, 33 Manning, is now 50 per cent sold following a strong run of sales since its launch in February.

Developer Goldfields said the majority of early buyers are owner occupiers seeking value in a city-fringe riverside suburb, access to quality amenities, and forward-thinking design. &nbsp;

Located in Milton, just two kilometres from the Brisbane CBD and adjacent to the Park Road precinct, the 130-apartment tower offers one, two and three-bedroom apartments set over 18 storeys, with city and river views, a rooftop pool, and close proximity to transport options.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=209694]

Goldfields CEO Lachlan Thompson said demand for 33 Manning has been strong since launch as Brisbane continues to battle undersupply and lower vacancy rates.

“We’re thrilled to see our first built form project in the Brisbane market resonate so well with locals in just four months, but we’re not surprised," Thompson said.&nbsp;

“Undersupply of housing across most of the city, combined with explosive population growth throughout 2021 and 2022, laid the foundation for a robust market that continues to outperform many other cities across the country."

Recent federal government data from the Centre for Population shows Queensland’s population is expected to grow by more than 16 per cent by 2032, with Greater Brisbane expected to grow faster than the rest of the state.

“Queensland is currently leading the way in population growth recovery post-pandemic and Brisbane is preparing to host the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games,"&nbsp;Thompson added.

“Although most of the sold apartments have been snapped up by locals who already know and love the area, we’re expecting more interest from interstate and foreign buyers in the future.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=209941]

Designed by renowned architects Rothelowman, 33 Manning pays homage to the classic Queenslander home. It offers residents the scale and function of the traditional Sunshine State home, aligned to Brisbane’s subtropical climate and transformed for contemporary high-rise living.

33 Manning is also home to a collection of penthouses, with just eight three-bedroom sky homes on offer. Pitched toward the downsizer market who are after an alternative to a traditional house, each features a master bedroom suite, along with two generously sized bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple living areas and large terraces, with river and city views.

According to Andrew Scriven, Managing Director of Colliers Residential Queensland, the design and architecture of 33 Manning has been a key driver of interest from buyers, alongside its city-fringe location.

“There’s no doubt that 33 Manning provides some of the best value in the inner Brisbane market," Scriven said.

"A combination of timeless design by award-winning architects, impressive elevation with river, city and mountain views, and the lifestyle it offers close to cafes, restaurants, markets and public transport, makes it a must for both owner occupiers and investors.

“We’ve purposefully designed 33 Manning residences for specific buyer types. Best suited to owner occupiers, our three-bedroom apartments start on level 11 to ensure the best river and city views and aspect."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108736 project_image_fid=209946]

Scriven suggests 33 Manning's two-bedroom apartments offer size and aspect, and are the best value in the inner city. He says they could yield almost five per cent for investors&nbsp;given the current rental pressures in Brisbane.

“The emphasis on indoor/outdoor living and quality communal amenities including a luxurious rooftop pool, dining spaces, yoga area, garden and sauna, tick the box for those turning to apartment living for lifestyle and affordability.”

33 Manning also offers Brisbane homebuyers a rare opportunity to buy off-the-plan with a deposit of just $10,000, in conjunction with property-buying platform Coposit.

At no cost to purchasers, the free Coposit app allows buyers to secure an apartment at the current price before paying back the rest of the deposit in weekly instalments during the construction phase.

33 Manning is forecasted to be completed in mid-2025.

Milton's 33 Manning races to 50% sold as Brisbane apartment market heats up

The busy Kokoda Property Group have officially lodged their application for their recently acquired site in Brisbane's Milton.

Kokoda, led by Mark Stevens, were already engaged with Cottee Parker before they secured the site at 12 Crombie Street, which will home 145 apartments across a 21-level tower dubbed Ruby Ruby.

There will be 54 one-bed units, 77 two-beds, 12 three-beds, and two four-bedroom penthouses on level 20.

The bulk of the resident amenity will be on the top level, barring a couple of meeting rooms and work from home facilities on the ground level and a podium with a private dining and lounge area,&nbsp;cinema room, and a billiards room.

The centrepiece of the rooftop is the full-width swimming pool which will have wide city views. Also on the roof are a number of cabanas, a firepit area, barbecues, another&nbsp;private dining and bar space, and a gym with a yoga area, plunge pool, and infrared sauna.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139032 project_image_fid=231171]

In their design statement submitted to the Brisbane City Council, Cottee Parker said the&nbsp;tower design has been developed with a vernacular and sub-tropical conscious in mind.

"The quality in unit design, recreational&nbsp;facilities, ground floor&nbsp;amenities and fluidity&nbsp;in&nbsp;form will assist&nbsp;in&nbsp;developing&nbsp;a&nbsp;building&nbsp;that&nbsp;further invigorates and populates Brisbane, Milton."

An unusual but key inspiration for Cottee Parker was cotton farming and production, which was led by prominent 1850s Milton business developer, Ambrose Eldrige.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139032 project_image_fid=231170]

"By using fabric and the product of cotton, the architectural vision is to capture the notion&nbsp;of&nbsp;‘Voile’," the report read.

"The organic form of the tower is cloak with perforated herringbone pattern&nbsp;screen. The integration&nbsp;of&nbsp;form and skin of the building create a identity&nbsp;that&nbsp;is&nbsp;unique&nbsp;to&nbsp;Milton with historical reference."

Kokoda have been particularly busy in recent months, having recently spent a record $100 million on the last remaining riverfront development site in Teneriffe.&nbsp;

<a href="/news/qld/kokoda-snare-last-remaining-riverfront-in-teneriffe-for-mixed-use-development">Read more:&nbsp;Kokoda snare last remaining riverfront in Teneriffe for mixed-use development</a>

<a href="/developers/kokoda-property" target="">Kokoda Property</a>&nbsp;Founder and Managing Director Mark Stevens said Brisbane is primed for rapid growth and the Skyring Terrace site will play a pivotal role in the revitalisation of the Newstead and Teneriffe Waterfront Neighbourhood Plan.

“This site has been tightly held for nearly four decades and the potential it offers is unparalleled in terms of creating a major mixed-use waterfront development at a scale that is never to be repeated," Stevens said.

Kokoda also recently signed off on their completed Milton tower, The Ambrose, which is over 95 per cent sold.

South Brisbane's art and cultural precinct is about to welcome its tallest tower yet, as Aria Property Group approaches completion of their latest residential project, Upper House.

The development will be adorned with golden ribbons, which were hoisted up 32 levels earlier this year, signifying the top of the building where the extensive rooftop amenity will sit.

The double-storey rooftop club, an Australian first, will cater to residents' social needs, with a wine bar, a lounge area, a wine cellar, a private theatre room, a private dining room, a home office, and an executive boardroom.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27918 project_image_fid=80604]

The fluid and sculptural ribbons wind their way up the facade, creating a unique and visually striking presence in the streetscape, with the ribbons intertwining at the rooftop level to form a shaded pergola, enhancing the recreational and wellbeing spaces for residents.

A mix of two and three-bedroom apartments are on offer in Upper House,&nbsp;designed to maximise the sense of height, volume, and space. The project is Aria's first project to feature 3.0-metre high ceilings, with each apartment also set to boast Miele appliances and timber floors.

Consideration for neighbouring properties was a priority in positioning the building on the site, with generous setbacks to each lot boundary preserving neighbouring amenity, while also focussing on maintaining privacy for residents of Upper House.&nbsp;

Plans have been filed for a twin tower project in Brisbane's south side suburb of Stones Corner.

Peter Gartshore from the family-ran Idec Group are behind the plans on the 3,846 sqm site at 73-85 Cleveland Street, which will feature a striking skybridge connecting the two recreational rooftops designed by NMDS Architecture.

&nbsp;

The submitted town planning report highlights the strategic importance of the proposed site in Stones Corner, stating that it falls within a growth node on a selected transport corridor identified under the City Plan. It emphasises that areas within these nodes offer opportunities for more intense urban forms that cater to the needs of the local community.

Despite exceeding the prescribed eight-storey height limit, the report argues that the proposed development is appropriate for the site and aligns with the desired outcomes of the high-density residential zone.

The report also emphasises the housing crisis in the southeast Queensland region, with low rental and housing stock levels, and states that the project will provide 226 additional housing opportunities in close proximity to centres, community services, and transport options.

Stones Corner, located just over two kilometres from Woollongabba, the home of the 2032 Olympic Games, is undergoing significant urban transformation with the aim of residential and mixed-use densification.

&nbsp;

The towers will boast a design incorporating extensive use of planter boxes adorned with climbing and cascading plants.&nbsp;&nbsp;NMDS Architecture have designed the project.

The skybridge, spanning the gap between the north and south towers, will link a spacious 1273 sqm of communal rooftop recreation space. The recreational area will include amenities such as a pool, spa, terrace area, gymnasium, sauna, showers, change rooms, alfresco and indoor dining areas, a theatre, community garden, and a dedicated dog walking area.

The proposed development will prioritise green spaces and landscaping. The landscaping design by Wild Studio includes vertical green walls extending the full height of the building, feature trees at the main entrance on Cleveland Street, raised garden beds, and planter boxes with climbing and cascading plants.

The integration of greenery aims to create a vertical, subtropical micro-climate that enhances the building's appearance, provides cooling to residents, and contributes to the overall streetscape.

The development will include three basement levels with space for 330 cars. While the area is well-serviced by public transport, alternative transportation options will also be provided to residents. A car share system will enable those without vehicles to access ten electric vehicles, and there will be ample bicycle parking spaces, 283 in total, supported by an on-site bicycle workshop.

The largest penthouse in the $150 million Brisbane riverfront apartment building Rivello in Hamilton has hit the market, with developer Brookfield aiming to cash in on the high number of penthouse sales secured in Brisbane's premium pockets in recent weeks.

The penthouse is the final apartment available in Rivello and spans 562 sqm of the 17th floor, featuring expansive Brisbane River and CBD views.

The five-bedroom and five-and-a-half-bathroom apartment also includes a gym, home cinema, office, wine cellar, wet bar, fireplace, three-car garage, and multiple balconies including one that stretches the entire river frontage. The kitchen features luxury Gaggenau appliances including coffee machine, and a butler’s pantry with Liebherr fridges and Miele dishwasher.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102922 project_image_fid=212968]

It is priced at $7,125,000 and is being sold by YPM Group.

Construction is well underway on Rivello, which will feature 147 one, two and three-bedroom apartments along with a collection of four sub-penthouses and two opulent penthouses.

Work is anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of 2024.

The majority of apartments boast sweeping views of the Brisbane River, while residents enjoy access to an extensive array of facilities, including&nbsp;an infinity-edge roof top pool and spa, sauna and steam rooms, a private function room with kitchen and bar, a residents’ lounge, wine cellar, business centre, outdoor gardens and barbeque areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102922 project_image_fid=171473]

Brookfield Residential Properties’ Managing Director, Lee Butterworth, said the release of the final penthouse marked an important milestone in Rivello’s development and followed over $143 million in off the plan sales, with all other apartments in the building already sold.

“We’ve seen massive demand from buyers for these penthouses, sub-penthouses and apartments which is due to the exceptional amenities available for owners as well as the stunning location, just six kilometres from the Brisbane CBD,” Butterworth said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102922 project_image_fid=212967]

“It is very rare for properties of this calibre to be released to the market and that’s why we’re expecting strong interest from a broad range of buyers.”

Butterworth said penthouse sales to date had been to owner-occupiers, wanting a spacious riverfront residence alongside the Portside Wharf precinct.

“Across the board, Rivello has appealed to local owner-occupiers, particularly those making the move from large homes in the nearby area and young professionals, along with interstate buyers relocating to Queensland,” he said.

“The River City has a huge opportunity ahead of the 2032 Olympics with many analysts predicting strong capital gains in the property market ahead of the worldwide event.”

Brisbane has seen a string of big ticket penthouse sales so far in 2023, the biggest and most recent being from <a href="/news/qld/brisbanes-best-penthouse-spyre-group-light-up-toowong-with-arc-penthouse">Spyre's Arc Toowong project</a>. The penthouse sold for $13.6 million.

Consolidated Properties Group has launched its luxury penthouse collection in its $450 million Monarch Residences.

The 11 oversized apartments bookend the Monarch Residences buildings, with eight residences located on the top floors to take in skyline and river views, plus three river homes offering a leafy outlook at the water’s edge.

Priced from $4.15 million through to $12 million for a sprawling 406 sqm apartments, the Monarch Residences Penthouses are more than double the size of the average 186 sqm Australian home.

Consolidated Properties Group Head of Residential James MacGinley said the decision to place penthouses on both the top and ground floors was made to capitalise on the unparalleled location of Monarch, which boasts 130 metres of direct river frontage.

“Traditionally penthouses are reserved for the top floors of the building, but we saw the opportunity to offer something special by creating the river homes, which will have the look and feel of a private, stand-alone dwelling,” he said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=212794]

“The two types of penthouses have been designed to appeal to those looking for a hybrid residence which blends the space and comfort of a home with the benefits of apartment living –premium views, a low maintenance lifestyle and luxury amenities.

“The Brisbane market has proven in the past 12 months that there is appetite for our $12 million penthouse which boasts a master suite the equivalent size of a&nbsp; two-bedroom apartment, along with a six car private garage.

“We have also catered for purchasers looking for a low maintenance, yet spacious 250 sqm penthouse on the river.”

Monarch Residences Penthouses are available with a choice of three or four bedrooms, one or two balcony areas and a minimum of three car spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=211496]

Designed by the renowned teams at Wardle and Cottee Parker Architects, MacGinley says while each penthouse has its own character with plenty of opportunity for personalisation, all boast unparalleled views, privacy and the highest quality finishes.

“Ultra-high 3.4 metre recessed ceilings, expansive living areas and master bedrooms and second lounge areas were all non-negotiable inclusions,” he said.

“European Oak herringbone timber floors and natural stone benchtops create a bright and airy feel in each home, with wrap around balconies and sliding doors helping to bring the outside in.

“Every window has been oriented and framed to capture different views of the river and city, to create bvan artwork-like effect that changes with the time, seasons, colours and activity of the day.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=211466]

“The cabinetry and storage throughout is also carefully considered - from built-in bookshelves and wine displays through to expansive walk-in wardrobes – these residences are an invitation to enjoy the finer things in life.”

Monarch Residences will also become home to a new riverfront restaurant and café following the restoration of the heritage-listed Middenbury House, which will add to a suite of resident facilities including a riverside pool, gym and sauna, and an expansive rooftop terrace with dining and entertainment areas.

The launch of the penthouse collection follows the successful release of Monarch Residence’s one, two and three bedroom residences, which are now selling priced from $670,000, with many floorplan types disappearing fast.

A $3 million riverfront sales display is now open seven days at 600 Coronation Drive, Toowong.

National property developer Kokoda Property has acquired the last remaining riverfront site in Brisbane’s Teneriffe, breaking the record for the largest sale ever recorded in Brisbane’s history.

Located at 17 and 27 Skyring Terrace, the unique site spans an extensive 17,600 sqm, offers 6,000 sqm Wet Lease and over 200 sqm of direct river frontage and upon completion, will be transformed into a $1.75 billion mixed-use development that will activate the waterfront at a scale not yet explored.

Kokoda’s vision for the site comprises apartments and townhouses, a waterfront office tower, a luxury hotel in partnership with an international hotel brand, a retail precinct comprising high-end luxury retail and F&amp;B, and a&nbsp;marina, connecting the expanding Brisbane riverwalk replete with waterfront hospitality, retail and dining.

The development will also continue to support the local community with upgraded public amenities and the Community Hub.

Teneriffe is a suburb rich in history and today, is known as Brisbane’s most expensive suburb with a median house price in excess of $2.9 million.

Kokoda Property Founder and Managing Director Mark Stevens said Brisbane is primed for rapid growth and the Skyring Terrace site will play a pivotal role in the revitalisation of the Newstead and Teneriffe Waterfront Neighbourhood Plan.

“This site has been tightly held for nearly four decades and the potential it offers is unparalleled in terms of creating a major mixed-use waterfront development at a scale that is never to be repeated," Stevens said.

“We are incredibly active in Brisbane and expanding our portfolio due to the surging population growth. Queensland has experienced the highest interstate migration growth in the nation and with the 2032 Olympic Games on the horizon, coupled with a buoyant jobs market, Brisbane is primed for a development of this scale.

According to Charter Keck Cramer’s latest State of the Market report for Brisbane, Brisbane apartment completions and commencements have fallen to an all-time low. Coupled with the strong population growth forecast, the Brisbane market is expected to remain in short supply relative to demand.

Less than two years ago Kokoda completed its first Brisbane project Chester &amp; Ella, a $300 million residential development and last month, called for settlements at The Ambrose, a $165 million residential project. Both projects are sold.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6313 project_image_fid=208662]

Other Brisbane projects include Refinery House - a $12 million transformation to a heritage-listed home, and the <a href="/news/qld/kokoda-secure-prime-milton-site-for-cottee-parker-designed-apartment-tower">newly acquired site in Milton</a> with a total value of around $160 million. Kokoda are also developing the 200-apartment mixed-use precinct The Malvern Collective in Melbourne's Malvern.

The Skyring Terrace deal was brokered by Elliot O’Shea, Director - Head of Middle Markets Queensland and Seb Turnbull, Head of Capital Markets - Queensland / Executive Director, Capital Markets - Australia, both from JLL. Prior to Skyring Terrace, the most expensive site to be sold was in West End, which was brokered for $87 million in 2014.

Kokoda Property is currently in the planning and design phase for Skyring Terrace and hopes to launch an expression of interest campaign in late 2023.

Kokoda Property Founder and Managing Director Mark Stevens said Brisbane is primed for rapid growth and the Skyring Terrace site will play a pivotal role in the revitalisation of the Newstead and Teneriffe Waterfront Neighbourhood Plan
