Castle Hill’s booming development market is set for another boost, with builder-developer Buildex proposing a new mid-rise apartment building near Castle Towers.

Buildex has submitted plans to The Hills Shire Council for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/197-old-northern-road-castle-hill-nsw-2154">nine-storey building comprising 57 apartments</a> on Old Northern Road. The company acquired two adjoining sites earlier this year, totalling more than 2,683 sqm.

Texco Design has prepared the scheme, which includes five one-bed plus study apartments, 37 two-bedrooms, and 15 three-bedrooms.

Castle Hill has become a hotspot for developers in recent years, undergoing significant transformation driven by the opening of the Hills Showground Precinct to development and the introduction of two metro stations servicing the suburb.

Developers including Deicorp and Kassis Homes have already completed projects, and are progressing future developments, while Meriton, Arada, and Ellipse are currently delivering new projects in the rapidly evolving area.

Gold Coast developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/immerse-projects">Immerse Projects</a>&nbsp;has unveiled what it intends to deliver at its recently acquired Toowong site, its debut apartment development in Brisbane.

Immerse, founded by John Kearney who is also the founder of regarded construction company Greyburn, secured the prime Sylvan Road site <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/first-look-immerse-projects-moves-into-brisbane-apartment-market-with-toowong-site-acquisition">earlier this year</a>, in an area which has historical significance to Kearney who&nbsp;studied at the nearby University of Queensland.

"It feels like a full circle moment," Kearney told&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/" target="">Apartments.com.au</a>.&nbsp;

“I spent many nights at the Regatta Hotel just down the road, as have most people in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/brisbane-qld" target="">Brisbane</a>. It’s one of the city’s most well-known hotels, and with several cafes, restaurants, and a CityCat stop nearby, it’s become an even more attractive place to live.”

He is planning a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/22-24-sylvan-road-toowong-qld-4066">15-storey project with 88 apartments</a> above an activated ground plane with a shop and hospitality spaces.

<img alt="Toowong podium" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c350436b-9d64-46cc-ab6f-defc009e1b65" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/podium_0.png?VersionId=zt7A0_14M62TkZ61YHnGmEck9KM9HqDA" />

The architecture, led by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, presents a tower massing that responds to the area's evolving mid-rise context. The scheme incorporates podium and rooftop communal spaces, while the commercial elements aim to activate the Sylvan Road frontage and enhance the site's interface with the adjacent parkland.&nbsp;

Landscaping plans by Ivy May Landscape Architects include subtropical planting and deep soil zones to support stormwater management and visual integration.

Supporting documentation from Mewing Planning Consultants notes that "the proposed development will deliver a mixed-use outcome that enhances the vibrancy of the Sylvan Road corridor" and highlights its proximity to high-frequency public transport and community facilities.

&nbsp;

There's been little new apartment development in Toowong in recent years. The most notable is Consolidated Properties two-tower Monarch Residences, which is approaching completion with nearly all of its 224 residences sold.

Kearney describes&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066" target="">Toowong</a>&nbsp;as a suburb with real depth.

"The suburb attracts everyone, from students to retirees, and that's what makes it interesting."

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hyecorp-property-group">Hyecorp</a> is down to its final three-bedroom apartments at Audrey, the developer’s parkside St Leonards South project, pairing the remaining homes with a limited-time offer.

The developer is extending a five per cent deposit and a $50,000 settlement rebate on selected apartments, aiming to help owner-occupiers secure one of the final homes ahead of move-in in early 2026.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110379 project_image_fid=311393]

Located on Canb​erra Avenue opposite Newlands Park, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/audrey-st-leonards-13-19-canberra-avenue-st-leonards-nsw-2065">Audrey</a> comprises 102 residences, including a mix of three-bedroom residences and a double-storey, five-bedroom terrace with two outdoor areas.&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a> and delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/north-shore-property-construction">North Shore Property Construction</a>, the project reflects Hyecorp’s focus on owner-occupier planning, with open-plan layouts, extensive storage integration, and a material palette built around stone, oak timber flooring and bespoke joinery. Many of the three-bedroom apartments capture views toward the city and Harbour Bridge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110379 project_image_fid=207373]

Hyecorp’s internal design team, Jackson Teece, has emphasised a consistent level of specification across the building, including Miele appliances, integrated refrigeration, brushed metal tapware and large-format stone detailing that conceals cabinetry.

The Tiffany Collection, crowning the development on Levels 12 to 15, features added luxury of fluted standalone baths, heated bathroom floors, custom walk-in robes and upgraded appliance packages across its spacious 155 to 159 sqm homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110379 project_image_fid=301367]

Beyond the private residences, Audrey carries a strong amenity focus. Residents have access to an indoor lap pool and spa, personal training studio, private cinema, music room and private dining room.

A landscaped rooftop terrace with CBD views anchors the communal offering, complemented by an onsite café and an integrated daycare centre within the project.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110379 project_image_fid=198680]

The location continues to be a drawcard for buyers, with new retail additions at Mall 88, including Coles, alongside Woolworths and the established offerings of Forum Plaza. St Leonards Station and Crows Nest Metro is within easy reach, as are local health precincts such as the Royal North Shore Public and Private Hospitals. Nearby green spaces include Newlands Park, Gore Hill Oval and Naremburn Park, supporting strong day-to-day amenity for families and downsizers alike.

Hyecorp is expected to welcome residents to Hyecorp in early 2026.

Audrey St Leonards nears completion – settlement bonus now available

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/freecity">Freecity</a>&nbsp;has been given the green light to develop its flagship mixed-use project in the Crows Nest metro precinct.

The NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority approved the 40-storey tower, aligning with the NSW Government's Transport Oriented Development (TOD) agenda to deliver more homes in highly connected, high amenity locations.

The $600 million tower, at 378-398 Pacific Highway, will comprise 178 apartments with resident amenities, two levels of commercial offices, and a curated retail offering. Freecity will also dedicate a 10 percent Affordable Housing Contribution, supporting the Governments broader housing objectives.

<img alt="Freecity Crows Nest" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4de9b03b-e8aa-4929-b3f1-6747acbe6b73" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Freecity%20Crows%20Nest%20Project.jpg?VersionId=oWwFWxGj_oUFEYX4j_qRFdSzcShLw3DG" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the tower will offer a diverse residential mix, from one-bedroom homes to expansive four-bedroom penthouses, all crafted to maximise light, views and liveability.

Lawrence Zheng, Co-Founder and Joint CEO of Freecity Group, said the approval represents a significant step forward for both Crows Nest and Freecity.

"We are proud to be delivering a landmark project that brings new homes, new amenity and new economic activity to one of Sydney’s most strategically connected locations,"&nbsp;Zheng said.

"With our $6 billion pipeline of 12 mixed-use projects, this development reinforces Freecity’s commitment to helping deliver the housing supply and transport-integrated precincts the Government is championing.”

Michael Romano, Executive Director of Development, said the companies focus is on "creating places that genuinely enhance how people live day to day - communities that balance accessibility, amenity and neighbourhood vibrancy.”

“This project reflects the future of urban living - design led, highly liveable and seamlessly connected to the city’s major transport, employment and education hubs. Being directly opposite the Crows Nest Metro means residents can access the best of Sydney with unrivalled convenience."

Freecity secures approval for Crows Nest metro precinct tower

The Bedford by Mosaic marks the culmination of a near-decade journey for South East Queensland’s most active developer.

Mosaic Founder and CEO, Brook Monahan, said the company first identified the prime Prospect Street, Kangaroo Point site in 2016 as an A-grade opportunity they were eager to secure. They almost bought it at the time, before it was ultimately acquired by Woolworths’ development arm, Fabcot.

The opportunity resurfaced late last year when the site, vacant for nearly three decades, was offered for sale again.

Backed by years of history, feasibility research, and detailed product planning for the 3,195 sqm corner site, Mosaic was able to move swiftly. The Bedford by Mosaic is now proving a clear market success, unsurprising given the depth of work the developer had undertaken on the location and potential density mix well before they owned the land.

Active across both Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and with a development pipeline more than $2 billion, Mosaic has already sold 90 per cent of apartments in what has become the area’s most significant residential addition in more than a decade.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134792 project_image_fid=328119]

Designed by BDA Architecture, The Bedford comprises 128 two- and three-bedroom apartments, including the Masterpiece Series Skyhomes across the top two levels. These residences offer the largest floorplans and the best views over the river and city. Premium inclusions—such as natural stone benchtops, bespoke cabinetry, and Miele appliances, feature in every apartment, not just the top-tier offerings.

A defining feature of The Bedford is its integrated mixed-use component, set to deliver Kangaroo Point’s first Woolworths supermarket, along with a café and liquor store, bringing long-awaited convenience to the peninsula.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134792 project_image_fid=355673]

Residents will also enjoy one of Brisbane’s most comprehensive amenity collections. Dubbed the Rooftop Recreation &amp; Retreat Sky Terrace, the wellness-focused spaces include a resort-style pool with sun deck, an indoor/outdoor gym, spa, sauna, steam room and cold plunge.

Additional amenities include a residents’ lounge and relaxation zones, a private dining room with kitchen, barbecue areas, landscaped gardens, an outdoor viewing deck capturing city and river views, and a bookable golf simulator.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134792 project_image_fid=355681]

The remaining residences at The Bedford span the upper levels of the building and include two- and three-bedroom floorplans, which start from $1,645,000.

Mosaic's in-house building arm has already commenced construction on The Bedford. They estimate a late 2027 completion.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134792 project_image_fid=328121]

Monahan notes that Mosaic’s most successful projects often begin years before the first plans are drawn. Their new South Brisbane development is no exception, initially making it onto their radar in 2018.

“We aren’t opportunistic,” Monahan says. “Every site purchase is well considered and thought out. As seen with Kangaroo Point and South Brisbane, it can take years to eventuate. There are sites we are looking at now that we might not secure for several years.”

Mosaic is set to launch its new South Brisbane project&nbsp;in the next year, while its latest Gold Coast development,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/josephine-by-mosaic-166-the-esplanade-burleigh-heads-qld-4220">Josephine</a>, is coming soon to Burleigh Heads.

A decade in the making: Mosaic's long-awaited success story at The Bedford, Kangaroo Point

Brisbane off the plan townhouses

Is Brisbane's property market growth sustainable?

We're still seven years away from the 2032 Brisbane Summer Olympics, and in the last two years alone, Brisbane dwelling values (houses and units combined) have risen by 24.5 percent.

Last year saw the biggest increase in units since the late 1980s, with values growing by 16.6 percent in 2024, bringing the median unit value to $680,000.

Three months into 2025, and not much has changed.

CoreLogic's latest Home Value Index shows another 0.7 percent gain in unit values in March, following gains of 0.7 percent in February and 0.6 percent in January. Now, the median unit value is approaching $700,000.

With billions of dollars set to be poured into major infrastructure projects across Brisbane, a forecasted strong increase in population, and an ongoing shortage of new properties coming to market, there's no reason why Brisbane can't continue to outperform the rest of Australia.

<h2>What happened in Brisbane’s off the plan apartment market in March?</h2>

Brisbane was spurred again with another huge government announcement. It was revealed Victoria Park, on the edge of Spring Hill, will be hub of the 2032 Brisbane Summer Olympic Games.

A new 63,000-seat stadium will be delivered and will become the new home of the Brisbane Lions, Brisbane Heat, and Queensland Bulls.&nbsp;There will also be a new National Aquatic Centre at Centenary Pool in Spring Hill and a major upgrade of the Queensland Tennis Centre.

While a dedicated Brisbane Arena is no longer required for the Games, the government is facilitating its delivery by the private sector at the GoPrint site in Woolloongabba.

Premier David Crisafulli emphasised that the new venues and upgraded facilities would attract world-class events beyond 2032, ensuring a lasting impact on Brisbane.

While a lot of new apartment developments are going through the development application process or locking in build contracts before becoming available for buyers, developers are continually padding out their pipelines.

<a href="/developers/silverstone-group" target="">Silverstone Developments</a> sees more value in apartments than offices, so they've changed their plans for their prime riverfront Coronation Drive site in Milton. They now want to develop a 30-level building with 192 apartments.

Rochedale's Citrine Townhomes hits 60 per cent sold as construction advances on first stage

Brisbane developer <a href="/developers/dusk-group">Dusk Group</a>&nbsp;made a point to start construction on its latest townhouse development, Aurora on Depper in St Lucia, before taking it to market.

They commissioned&nbsp;<a href="/builders/akam-constructions">AKAM Constructions</a>&nbsp;to handle the build of the eight townhouses at 68-72 Depper Street that fills the need for a dwelling type in <a href="/developments/st-lucia-qld-4067">St Lucia</a> between apartments and standalone houses.

Urban.com.au CEO Mike Bird recently sat down with Huw Feeney, Director at Dusk Group, to talk about <a href="/new-townhouses/aurora-on-depper-st-lucia-68-72-depper-street-st-lucia">Aurora on Depper</a>.

Aurora on Depper aims to provide a more diverse range of housing options in this sought-after area by introducing eight three and four-bedroom townhouses, each designed with multi-purpose rooms that offer flexibility for use as a home office, additional bedroom, or second living area.&nbsp;

The townhouses are spread across three levels and are expected to appeal to a range of buyers, including downsizers, young families, and those with children attending the nearby University of Queensland.

Everything a buyer needs to know about Aurora on Depper, St Lucia townhouses

St Lucia has long been one of Brisbane's premier riverfront suburbs.

The sought-after suburb, named after the West Indian island, is well known for its leafy streets, the Brisbane Botanic Garden, and the main campus for the University of Queensland.

As it's grown from its origins as a cotton farming district, significant riverside development has grown with it.&nbsp;One market that's been missed however is the growing market frequently being called the "missing middle".

The missing middle in this instance is the townhouse market, a&nbsp;market that sits between apartments and houses. A third of <a href="/developments/st-lucia-qld-4067">St Lucia</a> is made up of standalone homes, and another 60 per cent on apartments. According to the latest 2021 ABS Census, less than seven per cent are townhouses.

Brisbane developer <a href="/developers/dusk-group">Dusk Group</a> is hitting St Lucia's missing middle with its latest residential development, <a href="/new-townhouses/aurora-on-depper-st-lucia-68-72-depper-street-st-lucia">Aurora on Depper</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145923 project_image_fid=287620]

Named after its position at 68-72 Depper Street, just 300 metres from the City Cat and major bus networks, Aurora on Depper comprises just eight three-level townhouses pitched at downsizers, young families, and those with children who attend the nearby main campus of the University of Queensland.

Aurora on Depper presents an attractive opportunity, considering the scarcity of townhouses in the suburb and the competitive starting price of $1.55 million

Each townhouse, designed by Elevate Design Studio, offers three bedrooms, a two-car garage, kitchens with zero silica benchtops and butler's pantries, and hybrid timber flooring throughout the living areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145923 project_image_fid=287619]

The versatile multi-purpose rooms are expected to be used as home offices for young professionals, a second living area, or a fourth bedroom.

Aurora on Depper is currently under construction by Akam Constructions and is expected to be complete by mid-2025.

Aurora on Depper townhouses to target St Lucia's "missing middle"

National developer Metro Property Development, once the largest inner-city residential apartment developer in SEQ, is bringing its reputable name to Rochedale, a small suburb south of Brisbane.

Metro is currently developing <a href="/new-apartments/citrine-townhomes-rochedale-311-gardner-road-rochedale">Citrine</a>, a community of 90 two to three-level, three to four-bedroom townhouses on Gardner Road, a stone's throw from <a href="/developments/rochedale-qld-4123">Rochedale</a> Village, the area's central shopping hub.

The townhouses offer a huge point of difference in a suburb dominated by houses. The latest ABS Census showed 90 per cent of the dwelling type in the suburb is a separate house. There are only around 150 townhouses in the whole suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136295 project_image_fid=273139]

Australia's largest semi-detached builder,&nbsp;<a href="/developers/creation-homes">Creation Homes</a>, has already started construction on the 3.83ha site Metro acquired in mid-2021.

Each townhome within Citrine features an open plan living and dining area that extends to either courtyards or balconies that characterise the Queensland lifestyle and dwelling typology. The kitchens have been made for entertaining with a stone island bench, while the master retreats have their own ensuites with double vanities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136295 project_image_fid=273138]

The majority of townhouses have an additional multi-purpose room that can double up as a second living area on a different level to the main living space.

Citrine residents will also have access to resort-style amenities in the form of a lap pool and adjoining barbecue area, located in the middle of the community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136295 project_image_fid=273134]

Citrine is centrally located within walking distance of local schools, parks, and Rochedale Village, which is anchored by a large Coles supermarket and various dining choices, pharmacies, medical services, and fitness facilities, all within 500 metres.

The third stage of Rochedale Town Centre has also recently been announced, on the corner of Gardner Road and Miles Platting Road.&nbsp;

Designed by POWE Architects, the proposal is for a second supermarket with more retail, food and drink outlets, an outdoor dining area and plaza entrance, and further car parking in the final integrated stage.

Metro to bring something different to Rochedale with Citrine townhouses

South East Queensland developer Rogerscorp has launched to market its latest townhouse project, Nautica, following the successful sell-out of their Fable development in Everton Park.&nbsp;

Located in the beachfront suburb of <a href="/developments/margate-qld-4019">Margate</a>&nbsp;on the Redcliffe Peninsula, <a href="/new-townhouses/nautica-by-rogerscorp-margate-24-beaconsfield-street-margate-qld-4019">Nautica</a> is a collection of 42 three and four-bedroom villas, ranging from 183 sqm to 213 sqm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143823 project_image_fid=270716]

Nautica features a rich textural palette with natural timbers and stone, complemented by whites throughout.&nbsp;

The spacious open floor plans are designed to integrate living and dining spaces, extending into the kitchen well-equipped with Bosch appliances.

The homes include generous glazing throughout to maximise natural light.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143823 project_image_fid=270717]

Residents will have access to private amenities, including an outdoor seating area with a fire pit, an outdoor shower, a wellness lawn, and a community herb and veggie garden.

Launch Alert: Rogerscorp launch latest townhouse development, Nautica in Margate

Brisbane is crying out for new supply in the off the plan apartment market.

Confidence in the Queensland capital is at an all-time high, and there's no suggestion of a slowdown in demand.

Assisting in the growth in the unit market is the lack of new projects. There's not been a release of a new apartment development, certainly nothing close to a tower development, in months.

Developers have been active however over April, which bodes well for Brisbane's future supply.

Of course, these projects won't be realised for several years, with the approval phase, marketing, and then the build generally making the lifespan of a new development between four to five years, depending on density and the speediness of the approval process.

We've wrapped up the top five apartment developments that were submitted to the Brisbane City Council in April.

<h2>Address: 18 Macgregor Street, Upper Mount Gravatt</h2>

<h3>Developer: Salter Brothers</h3>

One of the most interesting apartment developments submitted in Brisbane in April was in <a href="/developments/upper-mount-gravatt-qld-4122">Upper Mount Gravatt</a>, where&nbsp;diversified investment group and property developer <a href="/developers/salter-brothers">Salter Brothers</a>&nbsp;has sought to create their first project in Brisbane.

Salter Brothers is seeking to demolish the Mercure Brisbane Garden City Hotel&nbsp;and develop a new 17-level apartment building at <a href="/new-apartments/18-macgregor-street-upper-mount-gravatt">18 Macgregor Street</a>.

<img alt="First look exclusive: Salter Brothers plot new Brisbane apartments" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-23%20at%201.25.21%20pm.png?VersionId=7_hXoO1RkzCAYSX0V_05iv_vT4kAgzO5" />

They've had <a href="/architects/bates-smart">Bates Smart</a> create the plans for the mixed-use building that will have 101 apartments above a four-level podium. That will home a 90-space childcare centre and parking for 107 cars.

There will be eight apartments per floor, six two-beds and two three-bedders. The apartments are expressed as "gently undulating petals," Bates Smart wrote in their submission to the Brisbane City Council.

<h2>Address: 28 Beesley Street, West End</h2>

<h3>Developer: Tocu Properties</h3>

<a href="/developers/tocu-properties">Tocu Properties</a>, which has been developing townhouses across Brisbane's inner-ring suburbs, is moving into the apartment market in the <a href="/developments/west-end-qld-4101">West End</a>.

They've had&nbsp;<a href="/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>&nbsp;draw up plans for a seven-level apartment development on the corner of Beesley and Filmer streets, one of the last remaining infill development sites within the highly sought-after West End precinct.

<img alt="First look: Tocu Properties file West End apartment plans" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-08%20at%202.55.00%20pm.png?VersionId=kmmVDJLDjORu2KAAqTiHkM1FwIhGBEPp" />

The proposal is for 42 two and three-bedroom apartments, 30 of which will have an additional multi-purpose room.

Crowning the building will be a 656 sqm rooftop amenity level with an infinity edge pool, hot and cold plunge pools, and open lawn and barbecue areas with views over <a href="/developments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a>.

<h2>Project: Canopy House by Aria, Kangaroo Point</h2>

<h3>Address: 58-62 Leopard Street Kangaroo Point, Kangaroo Point QLD 4169</h3>

<h3>Developer: ARIA Property Group</h3>

<a href="/developers/aria-property-group">ARIA</a> is again seeking to bulk up its upcoming <a href="/developments/kangaroo-point-qld-4169">Kangaroo Point</a> apartment project, <a href="/new-apartments/canopy-house-by-aria-58-62-leopard-street-kangaroo-point">Canopy House</a>.

The Tim Forrester-led developer is seeking to add a further four levels to the previous 29-level tower by&nbsp;<a href="/architects/rothelowman" target="">Rothelowman</a>, which were approved in August after a&nbsp;change application in June last year.

<img alt="First look: Aria bulk up Canopy House in Kangaroo Point by buying next door" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-16%20at%208.29.27%20pm.png?VersionId=EcbkV1.4aU3qa_g5kxyNXsrkqKpgJOuZ" />

The new design will also see an extended podium which will now feature a resident park with a barbecue kitchen and outdoor dining area, playground, and seating pods.

The documents suggest the new design will improve the facade, providing a "greater visual relief to the built form and significantly increasing the project’s ‘Green Factor’."

<h2>Project: La Flor, Taringa</h2>

<h3>Address: 128-130 Swann Road</h3>

<h3>Developer: Vista Projects</h3>

The Gold Coast-based architecture firm <a href="/architects/contreras-earl-architecture">Contreras Earl Architecture</a> has put together a design for their next project in the neighbouring&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/taringa-qld-4068">Taringa</a>&nbsp;on behalf of developer <a href="/developers/vista-projects">Vista Projects</a>.

<img alt="First look: Contreras Earl pen new Taringa apartment project, La Flor" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-22%20at%208.32.03%20pm.png?VersionId=HeeqUErVssguFX_j7YbQb3AwAQUvGMVZ" />

The six-level project, dubbed La Flor, will have eight three-bedroom apartments and a four-bedroom penthouse with its own private rooftop. The rest of the rooftop is reserved for resident amenities, comprising a resort-style pool, a sauna, extensive seating, barbecue spaces and sun lounges.

La Flor draws inspiration from nature, with its design metaphorically likened to the unfolding petals of a flower and translates into an architectural interplay between openness and enclosure.&nbsp;

<h2>&nbsp;Project: Gaia</h2>

<h3>Address: 108 Lambert Street, Kangaroo Point QLD 4069</h3>

<h3>Developer: Pikos Group</h3>

Even rarer than a submission at the moment is the approval of a new tower.

Brisbane developer&nbsp;<a href="/news/qld/pikos-property-group-changes-to-kangaroo-point-maroochydore-employment-hub-of-the-sunshine-coast">Pikos Group</a>&nbsp;is backing up its recently launched Skye Residences in Kangaroo Point with another project in the affluent suburb.

They've been given the green light for Gaia, two 15-level buildings at&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/gaia-kangaroo-point-108-lambert-street-kangaroo-point">108 Lambert Street</a>&nbsp;which will home 215 apartments as well as creating a full acre of inner-city parklands in the process.

<img alt="Pikos Group secures approval for Gaia Kangaroo Point apartments" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Gaia_0.png?VersionId=4s4TxYvYiVdAXS.zvdzYcdPMrzQRA2z6" />

Designed by&nbsp;<a href="/architects/dko-architecture">DKO Architecture</a>, both residential towers at Gaia have been oriented to capture sweeping views of the city and river, with all apartments featuring luxury internal finishes of natural stone, timber flooring and premium appliances.&nbsp;

The River Tower includes a mix of three and four-bedroom apartments, some with a multi-purpose room, while the City Tower will have two and three-bedroom apartments with an additional multi-purpose room.
