Local developer Harridan is seeking to turn its Woolloongabba apartment project into the first stage of a broader transformation of Burke Street, using a new 16-storey mixed-use building to establish a greener pedestrian connection toward the rapidly evolving Boggo Road transport and knowledge precinct.

The South East Queensland developer has filed plans for 154 apartments on the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/4-burke-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">southern side of Burke Street</a>, where its proposal has been designed alongside a wider vision by LatStudios for the street.

That vision positions the southern side of Burke Street for buildings of 15 storeys and above, while envisaging lower-rise development of up to five storeys on the northern side to transition into Woolloongabba's existing character housing. It also proposes wider pedestrian verges, deep planting, new street trees and upgrades to the pedestrian approach to Boggo Road Station.

The Harridan development itself has been designed by Brisbane-based Arqus Design and will comprise 154 apartments across 16 storeys. The mix is weighted heavily toward two-bedroom apartments, with 121 proposed alongside 10 one-bedroom and 23 three-bedroom residences. There will typically be around 14 units per floor.

A lower-ground car park and three podium levels will accommodate 156 resident parking spaces, along with visitor and commercial parking. There will also be 154 resident bicycle spaces and 40 visitor bicycle parks.

&nbsp;

Harridan is a family-owned developer and part of the Holmwood Highgate Group, with more than three decades of development activity across South East Queensland. Its portfolio spans residential, commercial and industrial property, with current residential projects including Riverbank on Byron in Bulimba, Esperance Residences in Carina and The Precinct at Kinross Road in Thornlands.

Wooloongabba has been popular for apartment developers, particularly since the announcement of the 2032 Summer Olympics games in Brisbane.

While there have been a lot of development applications, it has failed to materialize into real supply.&nbsp;

Sarazin has been the major player in the area. They are under construction at Murcia Residences, on the fringe of East Brisbane and Woolloongabba. They have just launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-stanley-residences-woolloongabba-8-trafalgar-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">The Stanley Residences</a>, in Woolloongabba on Trafalagar Street. They also have Nuage coming soon on the nearby <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba-qld-4102">Wellington Road</a>.

<hr />
Lewis Land has opened the first completed sky home for inspection at Harbour Shores, giving buyers their first opportunity to step inside one of just three double-storey residences crowning The Waterline.

Each sky home comes with its own private marina berth, rooftop terrace and Broadwater views, combining the scale of a larger home with direct access to the boating lifestyle that underpins the wider <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/harbour-shores-biggera-waters-564-oxley-drive-biggera-waters-qld-4216">Harbour Shores</a> masterplan.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113271 project_image_fid=366708]

Lewis Land Head of Development Michael Long said the inclusion of a berth with every Sky Home had become increasingly valuable as marina access across the Gold Coast tightened.

“Marina berths are becoming increasingly difficult to secure across the Gold Coast, so including one with every Sky Home makes this a genuinely rare offering,” Long said.

“The private 70-berth marina will accommodate boats up to 12 metres in length and is positioned just 2.5 kilometres from the Broadwater, placing the open ocean only 15 minutes away.

“Being able to step out of your home onto your boat is a rare luxury, and it’s something residents here can look forward to when it opens later this year.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113271 project_image_fid=366709]

The display opening comes as construction completes on The Waterline, with the first residents expected to move in from mid-October.

The three Sky Homes range from 282 sqm to 367 sqm and each feature three bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple living zones, expansive kitchens with butler's pantries and large balconies taking in the Broadwater outlook.

Each residence also has three secure basement car spaces and additional storage.

“This is the first opportunity the Gold Coast has had to step into Harbour Shores and see, touch and feel what we’re bringing to life here,” Long said.

“There are only three Sky Homes within The Waterline, ranging in size from 282sqm to 367sqm, with each residence featuring three large bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple living zones, expansive custom-built kitchens with butler’s pantry, and large balconies capturing Broadwater views.”

<img alt="Harbour Shores" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bab65e10-4fab-45e1-92d8-fc56e2ab98ff" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%202.00.16%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=XT8q76LsPkw3cYTsvN3JfFDaPLud90PN" />

Residents of The Waterline will have access to a private pool, along with Harbour Shores' wider collection of amenity including a lagoon pool, social clubhouse, tennis court, gym, yoga facilities and sauna.

Lewis Land partnered with Studio Collective to furnish the completed display, with the interiors designed to demonstrate how the residences could function as permanent homes rather than simply as show apartments.

Studio Collective Director Melissa Park said the surrounding waterways informed the interiors, but in a more restrained way than a traditional coastal scheme.

“We drew inspiration from the canals and coastal surrounds, but our approach was to interpret that subtly through layered materials and a grounded palette of earthy tones, rather than literal coastal references,” Park said.

“We introduced hero moments of green and teal to reference the surrounding waterways, while mirrored elements help reflect natural light.

“The result is a residence that feels elevated yet comfortable, somewhere buyers can genuinely imagine themselves living, entertaining and unwinding.”

Sky Homes are priced from $3.65 million.

Lewis Land is also offering private marina berths with The Residences, its limited collection of three and four-bedroom villas positioned directly along the Harbour Shores waterfront boardwalk.

Three-bedroom villas are priced from $2.99 million, while four-bedroom residences start from $3.19 million.

Harbour Shores is being marketed by Colliers International.

St Vincent de Paul Society Housing Australia has filed plans for a major mixed-use housing precinct on the southern edge of the North Sydney CBD, adding another significant proposal to a pocket around North Sydn​ey Station that is quickly becoming one of the LGA's busiest development zones.

The State Significant Development Application covers a 5,990 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1-19-mackenzie-street-lavender-bay-nsw-2060">1-19 MacKenzie Street and 211 Blues Point Road in Lavender Bay</a>, immediately south of Nor​th Sydney Station and between the commercial core and the lower-rise Lavender Bay Heritage Conservation Area.

Designed by Wardle, the proposal would deliver a new residential tower comprising 88 build-to-sell apartments and 19 affordable apartments, alongside a separate co-living building with 57 rooms and a building manager's studio.

It would also see the significant restoration and upgrade of St Francis Xavier Catholic Church, the adaptive reuse of the former school building, new parish facilities, retail, a new public square and around 1,000 sqm of publicly accessible open space.

<img alt="Vinnies North Sydney" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d5dd7f87-a617-463e-b577-17541e01f0e9" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-26%20at%209.10.13%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4R8TsFN3P_LrrXO2HswTOIrx2blil8lh" />

The project is seeking a concurrent rezoning of the site to R4 High Density Residential and an increase in the maximum building height to allow a tower reaching RL120, or up to 20 storeys. The proposal was progressed through the NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

The build-to-sell component will be weighted toward larger apartments, with just six one-bedroom apartments compared with 31 two-beds, 43 three-beds and eight four-bedroom residences.

The 19 affordable apartments will comprise two studios, 15 one-bedroom apartments and two two-bedroom apartments, taking the total apartment component to 107 residences before the 58 co-living rooms are included.

<img alt="Vnnies" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7d568ca5-cb90-4e18-96c6-d9795dba0c56" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-26%20at%209.10.05%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=GY2R5M9VtQh0EKy1vajaea19PSLOPuRD" />

Wardle's design for the Vinnies site has sought to negotiate that emerging high-rise context while retaining the lower-scale character of MacKenzie Street and the adjoining heritage conservation area.

The main building adopts a three-storey podium and tower arrangement, with the podium aligned to the ridgeline and front setback of St Francis Xavier Church.&nbsp;Wardle has designed the podium with colonnades, seating, recessed entries and active ground-floor frontages, with sandstone-toned precast concrete and face brick referencing the materiality of the existing church.

The tower then steps back eight metres to the south and six metres to the north before rising in a sculpted form comprising four interlocking quadrants. Wardle has also introduced rounded forms and chamfered corners to reduce the tower's perceived bulk and improve view sharing with neighbouring development sites.

Resident facilities and outdoor areas are planned at the separation between the podium and tower at Level 3, oriented toward Sydney Harbour and the CBD skyline.

The tower itself will feature a glass reinforced concrete facade, with recessed balconies and deep reveals used both to provide shading and privacy and frame views toward the harbour and city. The lower levels take a different architectural approach, using brick and sandstone-toned finishes intended to establish a stronger relationship with St Francis Xavier Church. The Church itself will be conserved and upgraded for its continued use, while the former school building will be adaptively reused as part of the co-living component.

<img alt="Lavendar Bay" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2d4418ad-90aa-4d49-af93-c80b140aea80" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-26%20at%209.09.47%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Kv4gzbsACaGvZSRuaqcfGC54jEJRXIDJ" />

&nbsp;

The proposal adds to an increasingly concentrated pipeline of residential development around Blue Street, MacKenzie Street and Lavender Bay.

Just west of the site, Central Element lodged plans earlier this year for one of the most significant residential developments proposed in Lavender Bay in recent years.

Central Element's SJB-designed scheme at 64-66 Lavender Street and 3-7 Middlemiss Street would deliver 163 apartments across two towers rising 23 and 32 storeys, replacing five existing apartment buildings containing 32 homes. The project also forms part of the Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

Immediately around North Sy​dney Station, another two significant proposals have emerged at 5 and 15 Blue Street.

Zurich Australian Insurance Properties is seeking to adaptively reuse its longstanding commercial building at 5 Blue Street, directly above North Sydney Station, rather than demolishing the structure.

Its SSDA proposes converting the building into a 14-storey mixed-use development with 62 apartments and 86 co-living rooms, together with ground-floor retail and a major refurbishment of Blue Street Plaza. The application is currently at the Response to Submissions stage.

When the opportunity arose for South Australian developer Palumbo to return to Kent Town, where it had previously delivered East Park Apartments and the East 
Rundle Apartments, it wasn't one the longstanding developer-builder was going to pass up.

The decision was quickly vindicated, with more than 30 apartments sold within the first month of launching <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/royal-apartments-kent-town-2-8-north-terrace-kent-town-sa-5067">Royal Apartments</a> to the market.

The 206-apartment development, which will bring significant new supply to Adelaide's tightly held eastern city fringe, also gives <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/palumbo">Palumbo</a> the opportunity to bring new life to one of Kent Town's most recognisable watering holes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6109 project_image_fid=376073]

Royal Apartments incorporates the historic Royal Hotel, a venue Palumbo Managing Director Daniel Palumbo said has a longstanding connection with the local community.

"Everyone in the area has history with the Royal Hotel," Palumbo told Apartments.com.au.

"It was quite an active pub and social gathering place for locals. We want to bring it back to its former glory."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6109 project_image_fid=376072]

The wider development will comprise two residential towers alongside the restored hotel, sitting on North Terrace opposite the Adelaide Park Lands.

For Palumbo, the project also marks a return to familiar territory.

The developer completed East Park Apartments next door more than a decade ago and jumped at the opportunity to develop in Kent Town again when the Royal Hotel site became available.

"The opportunity emerged, and we moved to secure the site," Palumbo said.

"We were approached by the previous landowner, who said they had extensive commitments in Sydney and weren't in a position to deliver the project.

"We took over the site and within six months recut the design scheme to be more in keeping with the type of development we want to bring to Adelaide.

"Now we're on the market and those changes have really resonated with local buyers."

That has translated into a strong start to sales, with 33 apartments transacting in the project's first 35 days.

Palumbo said the early purchaser profile had been consistent with the group's traditional focus on owner-occupiers rather than investor-led apartment stock.

"Local owner-occupiers have always been our market," he said.

"There are always some investors, but we've never developed what would be called traditional development stock. Owner-occupiers are very much our market."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6109 project_image_fid=376068]

The buyer mix has been diverse so far, with downsizers and younger professionals both accounting for a significant portion of early sales.

South Australia's current stamp duty settings, which allow&nbsp;eligible homeowners in South Australia aged 60 savings of up to $103,830 on stamp duty when they downsize to a new property valued at up to $2 million,&nbsp;have helped encourage downsizer activity, while younger buyers in their late 20s and early 30s have been attracted to the opportunity to live immediately outside the CBD while still being able to walk into the city.



Location has been a major part of the proposition for both buyer cohorts.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6109 project_image_fid=376075]

Royal Apartments sits on North Terrace directly opposite the Adelaide Park Lands, with residents able to walk through the parklands toward the East End, Rundle Street and Rundle Mall.

Apartments have been positioned to capture views across the parklands, Adelaide skyline, Botanic Gardens and Adelaide Hills.

Palumbo believes the scarcity of developable land along this section of the Park Lands makes the site particularly difficult to replicate.

"There's very few allotments on that side that can be developed," he said.

"If this location was in New York and you were sitting on Central Park, you'd be talking about a $60 million apartments."

Royal Apartments will offer a broad mix of residences, ranging from one-bedroom apartments through to four-bedroom sub-penthouses and penthouses.

Current listings include one-bedroom apartments from $680,000, while larger three and four-bedroom residences are priced around $2.5 million.

Residents will have access to a swimming pool, gym, barbecue and recreation areas, residents' lounge and dining space, and a communal deck.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6109 project_image_fid=376067]

The apartments will feature generous balconies, while secure parking, bicycle storage and storage cages will also be provided.

A porte-cochère-style arrival and drop-off area has also resonated with buyers, particularly those attracted to being able to walk into the CBD during the day while retaining secure vehicle access at home.

Palumbo is acting as developer, architect and builder on Royal Apartments, continuing the vertically integrated model it has used across its South Australian portfolio.

The group was also behind the $150 million Sofitel Adelaide, the 251-room five-star hotel and residential tower which opened in 2021.

Palumbo said Royal's launch had come at an interesting time for the broader Adelaide apartment market.

Buyer confidence had initially been impacted by uncertainty surrounding the Federal Budget and broader economic conditions, but Palumbo believes sentiment is beginning to improve against a backdrop of significant investment flowing into South Australia.

He pointed to increased activity across defence and resources, including Olympic Dam, as potential long-term drivers of the state's economy and housing market.

"Money is starting to flow into Adeliade, significant amounts as Adelaide bucks the trend of the rest of the country.," Palumbo said.

"There's a lot of activity in the economy over the next decade. I think more investment will come into this market."

Early works on Royal Apartments are expected to commence this year, with major construction activity and cranes anticipated on site from early next year.

Palumbo's return to Kent Town strikes early chord with buyers

Go-to builder-developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/graya">GRAYA</a> is continuing to bulk out its already impressive and diverse apartment portfolio across South East Queensland. Their latest milestone is securing development approval for Silk, its boutique riverfront apartment development in St Lucia.

The approval clears&nbsp;the way for the team to begin construction planning for the 22-residence project.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/silk-st-lucia-16-18-sandford-street-st-lucia-qld-4067">Silk</a> will rise 15 levels from an 810 sqm site at 16-18 Sandford Street, occupying a prominent bend of the Brisbane River with a prized northern aspect across Orleigh Park toward the Brisbane CBD.

The approved scheme will comprise 16 split-floor and six full-floor residences, continuing GRAYA's move into larger-format apartment developments targeting Brisbane's prestige owner-occupier market.

The project has been designed around the site's broad river frontage and dual-direction views, with GRAYA prioritising larger residences, privacy and outlook over apartment yield.

<img alt="Silk St Lucia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="aa5c2349-f96c-4914-a812-1f2cd6827af8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-26%20at%208.25.44%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=WY0vEU_7vYjeRJKQHiCwFdMxu8PvFh52" />

GRAYA Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Rob Gray said the project had been shaped around local homeowners wanting to remain in St Lucia without maintaining a traditional family home.

"St Lucia is one of those suburbs people do not want to leave," Gray said.

"They know the river, the trees, UQ, the golf course, Toowong and Indooroopilly, and that familiarity is hard to replace.

"True riverfront opportunities here are exceptionally scarce. What we have designed at Silk is a way to stay in the suburb people love, with the scale and privacy of a private home and far less to maintain.

"This is not typical apartment product. It is a proper home on the river, and that is exactly what this market has been missing."

The approval comes as new apartment development continues to increase across the St Lucia and neighbouring Toowong corridor, although direct riverfront sites remain considerably more tightly held.

GRAYA Co-founder and Managing Director Andrew Gray said securing the approval had removed a significant element of development risk from Silk.

"Genuine riverfront sites of this quality in St Lucia are not something that comes up regularly," Gray said.

"The approval removes a substantial layer of execution risk, and the location underwrites demand in a way very few inner-city sites can.

"The fundamentals here are as strong as anything we have assessed in Brisbane."

<img alt="Silk St Lucia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d0f3d734-65e1-48e8-8ed3-2e0715ffcdd9" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-26%20at%208.25.56%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sOLSs_jdHkXLWbBKzRyayf5BfTb2vPsD" />

Silk will see GRAYA return to a stretch of the Brisbane River where it already has recent construction experience. The vertically integrated group recently completed ARC in neighbouring Toowong as builder for developer Spyre, delivering the riverfront project on a constrained site.

GRAYA will take a different role at Silk, controlling the project from design and development through construction and aftercare under its vertically integrated model.

The development will include a gym and resident leisure areas at ground level, integrated with the river's edge.

Silk joins a growing pipeline for GRAYA across Brisbane and the Gold Coast, which includes Enclave, The Gallery, Coral and Ripple.

The developer-builder has also recently lodged plans for its largest project to date, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-silo-19-chester-street-newstead-qld-4006">The Silo</a>, a proposed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/graya-buys-frasers-newstead-site-plans-the-silo-between-james-street-and-gasworks-precincts">$700 million mixed-use development</a> in Brisbane's James Street precinct.

Silk is expected to predominantly target local owner-occupiers and prestige buyers seeking a permanent riverfront home in Brisbane's inner west.

Registrations of interest are now open, with further details on the project and construction program to be released as it progresses.

Caloundra

Karam Boutique Residential has lodged plans with the Sunshine Coast Council for a seven-storey residential apartment building.

Landing on the corner of Canberra Terrace and Arthur Street, the site spans 3,284 sqm, with the proposed built form fanning out from the podium level.

TMarshall are behind the design of the apartments, which comprise 24 three-bedroom apartments, along with two four-bedroom penthouses.

Four apartments will sit across each level, bar the top floor, with living, dining and kitchen space following an open-plan layout.

<img alt="" height="714" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-05-25_at_4.46.11_pm.png" width="1510" />

Each apartment extends on to an open balcony with the outer apartments benefitting from an additional balcony overlooking the resident&rsquo;s pool, which is located behind the building.

The seventh floor will home the two penthouses, each spanning 372 sqm internally, with three balconies as well as a planter box space, which cover 99 sqm collectively.

The four-bedroom penthouses mirror one another with the floorplan, each including three-bathrooms and two car spaces.

Centrally located in Caloundra, the southern gateway to the Sunshine Coast and only an hour north of Brisbane, residents&rsquo; will be perfectly positioned in one of Queensland&rsquo;s premier lifestyle destinations.

This idyllic seaside suburb is renowned for having over 30 kilometres of pristine beaches with a plethora of foreshores and an array of parklands and coastal pathways.

Residents will benefit from direct access to Pumicestone Passage, a mecca for all types of water sports as well as being just a short drive from the picturesque Sunshine Coast Hinterland and the Glass House Mountains.

Perfectly positioned close to all amenities being just minutes from public transport, 3 minutes from Caloundra Shopping Centre and the major supermarkets and retail stores, 12 minutes from the Sunshine Coast Hospital precinct, 25 minutes from the Sunshine Coast Airport and an hours drive from Brisbane and its Domestic and International Airport.

The group have a number of other projects currently in the pipeline, including Lighthouse by Karam which sits on the same road as the newly proposed development XXX

Karam Boutique Residential lodge plans for Canberra Terrace apartments in Caloundra

The newest Sunshine Coast mixed-use development, Paloma Paloma, is not only unique for the coastal suburb of&nbsp;&nbsp;Caloundra,&nbsp;but unique for Queensland.

That&#39;s the view of&nbsp;Colliers Director Residential, Daniel Hirst, who is marketing the 11-storey apartment tower, part of the wider mini-precicnt which include a fully integrated 110-room hotel in a separate tower and a three-level podium of retail and dining.

&quot;It&#39;s a landmark development unlike anyone has seen before,&quot; Hirst told Urban.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110945 project_image_fid=195440]

&quot;They&#39;re large apartments, designed to be lived in, and offering a high level of finishes, from limestone floors to natural stone bench tops.&quot;

Decibel Architecture has collaborated closely with award-winning landscape architecture practice LatStudios to create a building that breathes and one that is unique to Queensland.

For architectural inspiration, the group looked to the iconic headlands of Caloundra where waves crash against marbled tidal ledges of rockpools weathered by time.

Developed by CURA, Paloma Paloma&nbsp;will&nbsp;feature onsite resort-style amenities, including spaces for things like yoga and fitness, in addition to a wellness spa and resort-style swimming pool.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110945 project_image_fid=195437]

Hirst is expecting local and interstate buyers, predominantly in their mid 40s to late 50s, who want everything in one place.

&quot;They&#39;ll be discerning buyers, maybe semi-retired, and wanting something which gives them a feeling of status and luxury when they get home.

&quot;They will want the convenience of dining underneath, and the easy access to beaches, possibly without the pretentiousness found in some other areas nearby.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110945 project_image_fid=195441]

&quot;Residents will still have that status symbol, while also having the convenience of work from home facilities, and easy access to Brisbane.&quot;

Two of the penthouses have already sold, both to locals from Shelley Beach and Pelican Waters.

Stella Collective handled the interiors of the 74 apartments, with the materials and spaces designed to receive cooling sea breezes and encourage slow living.

Paloma Paloma apartments launch at Caloundra

The longstanding Sunshine Coast developer&nbsp;Henzell Property Group&nbsp;is set to create a mixed-use development in Caloundra, which they say will be one of the most exciting launches the Sunshine Coast will see in 2021.

Henzell, who have been reshaping the Sunshine Coast over the last four decades, have acquired the Suncourt Motel,&nbsp;set on a prized, mostly vacant,&nbsp;6,175 sqm site at the entry to Caloundra.

Henzell will develop&nbsp;high-end retail and dining at street level, with modern apartments dedicated to owner-occupiers above.

The&nbsp;135 Bulcock Street site, also with a street frontage to Omrah Avenue, was a unique opportunity to create a new entry statement for central Caloundra, Henzell Property Group sales director Marcus Muir says.

&ldquo;We have had our eye on this property for some time, so what we have planned has been carefully considered,&quot; Muir says.

&quot;We feel this site, with the correct product mix, will be one of the most exciting launches that the Sunshine Coast will see in 2021.

&ldquo;This development will combine luxurious residences offering exceptional views within an entertainment precinct that will attract high end lifestyle operators locally and from across Queensland.

&ldquo;We have already commenced discussions with a number of dining and retail operators and there are many more who have yet to move to the Coast as they have been waiting for the perfect location.&rdquo;&nbsp;

Henzell Property Group plans to deliver the project in two stages, with the design taking advantage of the two-street frontage by creating an activated laneway for vehicle and pedestrian access between Bulcock Street and Omrah Avenue providing a new sidewalk boulevard restaurant precinct.

&ldquo;This will become an iconic Sunshine Coast location for residents and visitors alike providing a new streetscape that connects Bicentennial Park, north of Omrah Avenue, and south to the beachfront,&rdquo; Muir said.

&ldquo;The location offers everything that residents could want in a Sunshine Coast lifestyle with an easy stroll to some of Caloundra&rsquo;s best beaches and shopping with Bulcock Street right at your doorstep.

&ldquo;When combined with luxurious apartments offering generous floor plans and either northern orientation or sprawling ocean views, this is exactly what the market is looking for in a coastal residence.&rdquo;

The first stage of the development will comprise a boutique collection of 39 apartments over 10 levels that will boast some of the best view&rsquo;s that Caloundra has to offer.

Preliminary works have already begun at this stage ahead of Henzell Property Group releasing apartments to the market.

&ldquo;We have chosen to release the most boutique offering to the market first to cater for exceptional demand for luxury residences by owner-occupiers,&rdquo; Muir said.

&ldquo;Stage one will comprise a collection of two and three-bedroom residences along with a penthouse collection, resort style pool and tranquil pool side areas.&rdquo;

Henzell Property Group has been buoyed by the success of its latest development at Pelican Waters, with a sell-out of an exclusive release of luxury residences in the first stage of the $200 million precinct known as The Cove.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27849 project_image_fid=151643]

All 15 homes in the Terrace Collection were snapped up for a total of $12 million, highlighting the appeal of high-end residences among-end users on the Sunshine Coast.

&ldquo;Buyers in this segment of the market are typically looking for a relaxed lifestyle close to the water and within easy reach of retail, dining and entertainment facilities,&rdquo; Muir added.

&ldquo;With this iconic new development, we are planning to add a new level of sophistication to the natural appeal that attracts so many people to the Caloundra lifestyle.&rdquo;

The Priceline Pharmacy building in the Sunshine Coast suburb of Caloundra at 66 Bullock Street has been offered to the market
The property, 100 per cent leased to Star Pharmacy Group Pty Ltd, is being offered for sale via an expressions of interest campaign.
The asset is being marketed and sold by Ray White Commercial QLD father and son duo Stephen and Elliot Kidd, in conjunction with Henzells Commercial Real Estate’s Paul Bell.
Mr Stephen Kidd said the two-level commercial building was in the heart of one of the Sunshine Coast’s most popular tourist destinations.
“A new corporate head lease from the Star Pharmacy Group over the entire building is being offered, with the ground floor retail occupied by Priceline Pharmacy and upstairs previously used as a function room,” he said.
“The current net income produces $166,340 after all deductions, including land tax.”
Mr Elliot Kidd said Star Pharmacy Group acquired and refurbished their tenancy in 2016.
“The ground floor income is underwritten by a fresh five-year corporate lease with options until 2045,” he said.
Mr Bell said the upper level comprised open-plan accommodation that was currently fitted out for an entertainment venue.

Houses in Queensland's Caloundra spend 67 days on market on average: Investar

Developer AVJennings has completed construction on the first stage of its new Creekwood Central precinct in Caloundra on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
The development features 31 double story architecturally designed townhouse with a choice of five contemporary two and three bedroom floorplans, with prices starting from just $345,000.
Creekwood Central has five home designs - the Clovelly, Fraser, Iluka, Esperance and Hamilton which range up to 178 sqm and a five to six star energy rating.
All townhomes feature open plan living and dining areas, with a generous kitchen complete with European stainless steel appliances, stone benchtops and ample storage. The townhomes have been designed to be light and breezy, with large windows for cross-ventilation and supported by air-conditioning in the main living areas and master bedroom.
Rod Chadwick, AVJennings Queensland state general manager said Creekwood Central has been created in response to increasing demand from buyers for homes that offer convenience and connectivity.
"These townhomes are turn-key, so home buyers can see the quality of their new home first hand and make the move as soon as they are ready," he said.
"We also believe variety and individuality are important, so we have included a range of floorplans and a choice of two colour schemes called Sandstone and Pumice in Creekwood Central to appeal to different markets.
"I anticipate first time buyers, investors and downsizers will snap up the two bedroom, two bathroom, single garage Hamilton and Fraser townhomes, with a choice of a 'loft' design with a balcony or a traditional terrace style home with front and rear courtyards.
"Those looking for a larger abode will find the Clovelly, Iluka and Esperance designs meet their needs, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms plus powder room and a single or double garage. These designs all include outdoor entertainment areas and a dedicated study space for students or professionals needing a home office.
"These townhomes have been designed not only to suit residents but also the Creekwood lifestyle, so home buyers can take advantage of the community's proximity to the lake and beach."
