<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> has lodged plans for a $750 million, three-tower mixed-use precinct that would complete the long-running redevelopment of Carlton's former Carlton United Breweries site.

The proposal at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/185-195-queensberry-street-carlton-vic-3053">46-78 Bouverie Street and 185-195 Queensberry Street</a> spans a 6,468 sqm site, the last remaining undeveloped parcels within the former brewery's 2007 masterplan.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the development will comprise two purpose-built student accommodation towers and a third build-to-sell apartment tower above a shared commercial podium and basement.

Across the three towers, SP Setia is proposing 606 build-to-sell apartments and 1,499 student accommodation units containing 2,009 beds.

The apartments will sit in the tallest tower, which will rise nearly 200m and 55 storeys. It will become&nbsp;one of the more substantial new build-to-sell apartment projects at the northern edge of Melbourne's CBD.

The apartment mix is weighted toward smaller inner-city product, with 188 studios, 206 one-bedroom apartments, 192 two-bedroom apartments and 20 three-bedroom apartments

<img alt="First look: SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8271bc87-1b0a-41b7-ac73-a425ee375261" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/3_2.png?VersionId=G4lw23o90B1boX4k4dj7rdz2ZEajS9wy" />

Part of the precinct will be a large-scale&nbsp;3,684 sqm supermarket and a further 2,198 sqm of speciality retail, creating close to 5,900 sqm of new commercial space within the precinct.

But one of the biggest components of the proposal is what sits between the buildings.

Around 4,650 sqm, or roughly 72 per cent of the site, will be publicly accessible open space, incorporating plazas, pedestrian connections, landscaped laneways and retail spill-out areas.

The ground plane is intended to finally complete pedestrian connections envisaged when the CUB masterplan was first approved nearly two decades ago, stitching together Victoria Street, Queensberry Street, Bouverie Street and Swanston Street through the former brewery precinct.

Urbis said the development would "complete the CUB precinct", with the public realm providing important north-south and east-west connections through what is currently the final undeveloped portion of the masterplanned site.

SP Setia is also exploring a new linear park within the Bouverie Street road reserve, with the concept to be developed further with the City of Melbourne through the planning process.

The proposal is being pursued through the Victorian Government's Development Facilitation Program under Clause 53.23 for significant residential development with affordable housing.

The planning report acknowledges the proposed heights exceed those contemplated under the original Comprehensive Development Plan and masterplan, but argues the built-form context has changed considerably over the past two decades.

Urbis said the three towers would instead create a stepped transition between Carlton and the Hoddle Grid, rising progressively from the 94.1-metre Tower One along the Queensberry Street edge to the 199.44-metre Tower Three closer to the established CBD-scale buildings to the south.

<img alt="SP Setia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e885a07a-592c-40fc-bf82-e6dbaf32da54" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.52.24%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7s_ErUkSKAdY1mAWp3GRZgMNCGtwhk5m" />

SP Setia plans to deliver the development across three stages.

Stage One would deliver the basement, podium and retail areas for the entire precinct alongside the first student tower. Tower Two would follow in Stage Two, before the 606-apartment Tower Three is delivered as the final stage.

If approved and delivered, the project would close out a redevelopment process that has been underway since the former brewery masterplan was approved in 2007, adding more than 2,600 student beds and apartments to a precinct already home to Swanston Central, the Barak Building, RMIT Design Hub and several large student accommodation developments.

SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct

Melbourne developer Lowe Living is seeking to add to its growing bayside apartment pipeline, filing plans for a boutique eight-residence development in tightly held Middle Park.

Lowe Living, which has built much of its development portfolio across Melbourne's affluent bayside and south-east suburbs, is behind the plans for the 730 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/123-125-erskine-street-middle-park-vic-3206">123-125 Erskine Street</a>, just off Armstrong Street and within the Armstrong Street Neighbourhood Activity Centre.

The developer is seeking approval for a five-storey residential building above two basement levels, with just eight large-format apartments and 18 car spaces.

“This is a deliberately very different proposition for us,"&nbsp;Tim Lowe, Co-Founder of Lowe Living, said.

"Eight residences is exceptionally boutique, but that's precisely what this site calls for.

“There is a strong community in Middle Park and the surrounding suburbs who have spent decades building a life here. They no longer want the maintenance of a large period home, but they aren't prepared to compromise on space, quality or location. We think there is a real opportunity to capture that hyper local market. A site like this rarely comes to market.”

<img alt="Lowe " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="875fe572-0f14-4d90-9e11-55b28dd07731" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.42.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=GDNQRv9BfpR9r1zkZ5UDyUM4ZvpIksut" />

The low-density proposal has been designed by Cera Stribley and is being progressed through the Victorian Government's Great Design Fast Track pathway, having already secured eligibility from the Minister for Planning.

The Office of the Victorian Government Architect supported its eligibility after finding the proposal demonstrated consistency with the program's seven design principles, while the project's financial feasibility has also been independently confirmed by Invest Victoria.

The project is targeting the downsizer market, with the planning documents describing the homes as larger-format residences and noting the two penthouses could otherwise have been configured as four separate apartments.

<img alt="Lowe 2" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="60ab0987-2da6-4175-adac-315dcf6053c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.15%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=bOCPH0B2MFwlmaRW.TTCF9TzyifgVoQI" />

The site has dual frontage to Erskine Street and Canterbury Place and currently comprises a collection of commercial buildings used as offices, including a former heritage bakehouse, a former stable, a later gabled addition and a central courtyard.

It sits within the Commercial 1 Zone and the Armstrong Street Commercial Precinct heritage overlay, with the existing property classified as a contributory heritage place.

Heritage has subsequently played a significant role in Cera Stribley's design.

The front section of the former bakehouse facing Erskine Street will be retained, including its return walls, street-facing hipped roof and chimneys, while the Erskine Street façade and part of the western return wall of the former stable will also be incorporated into the new development.

Levels four and five will be set back five metres from the retained stable façade, while bricks removed through demolition are proposed to be salvaged and reused within the new building where possible.

<img alt="Lowe 3" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e97927a9-a2de-4a0f-83b6-65451238abfa" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.06%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VR44AChLrX9q1XPB9GvVQV.ALXXbe4gC" />

Rather than presenting as a single five-storey building to Erskine Street, Cera Stribley has broken the development into a series of distinct forms.

A three-storey infill element will sit between the retained bakehouse and stable façades, with the upper levels recessed behind the heritage fabric. Canterbury Place will similarly feature two three-storey podium forms, separated by a central pedestrian accessway, before the upper two levels step back from the street.

A pedestrian through-link will run through the centre of the project between Erskine Street and Canterbury Place, creating entrances from both sides of the site and introducing landscaping and communal areas through the ground plane.

Landscape architect Acre has designed planting across the ground level, private terraces and upper levels, including a feature canopy tree at level three and integrated planting and arbours across the level four terraces. Five existing Erskine Street trees are proposed to be retained.

Sustainability is also a significant component of the Great Design Fast Track application. The apartments are targeting an average eight-star NatHERS rating, with no residence below 6.5 stars, while the project has achieved a 75 per cent BESS score. Seven of the eight apartments are designed for cross-ventilation, with the remaining residence using mechanically assisted natural ventilation.

The plans also incorporate an 8kWp rooftop solar system, a 5,000-litre rainwater tank and infrastructure allowing future electric vehicle charging for every residence.

Lowe has a strong portfolio across Melbourne's blue-chip suburbs. They recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/jardin-house-by-lowe-living-camberwell-335-camberwell-road-camberwell-vic-3124">Jardin House by Lowe Living</a> in Camberwell, their first development in the Stonnington LGA.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dvb-projects">DVB Projects</a> is preparing to launch its second Gold Coast apartment development, with demolition now underway on the Broadbeach site as the Sydney developer moves closer to bringing the ultra-luxury project to market.

The 34-level tower at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/137-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">137 Old Burleigh Road</a> will comprise just 49 residences, ranging from half-floor apartments through to full-floor homes and a penthouse. The launch follows the strong sales performance of DVB's nearby Sea Glass development. More than half of the apartments at Sea Glass, on the other side of Broadbeach, have been snapped up, well ahead of its late 2027 completion

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2944b4be-c84e-4b54-8dc1-c712e76704c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/E02_Exterior_Street%20Level%20Entrance.jpg?VersionId=YoNig7pRdrE3HCue7sUj78LzJteeQf3H" />

The start of demolition at 137 Old Burleigh Road signals DVB Projects’ underlying confidence in the Gold Coast’s luxury beachside apartment sector.

“We see the Gold Coast as one of the most compelling lifestyle markets in Australia, particularly at the premium end where demand continues to deepen,” said Dean Brown, Managing Director of DVB.&nbsp;

“This project has been carefully designed to respond to that demand - delivering large-format residences with a level of quality, privacy and amenity that is still relatively rare in the apartment market on the beachside."

Brown says the site itself is "exceptional."

"Old Burleigh Road is one of the most tightly held beachfront strips, and opportunities to deliver a project of this scale and calibre in this location are extremely limited.”

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="398f377a-c037-455e-9250-0c5e0d84c35b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/I12_FF%20Balcony.jpg?VersionId=NwOiRWGMubR1c8wthuEfggklcja7al9." />

The project will comprise 40 half-floor residences of approximately 260 sqm, alongside eight full-floor residences spanning around 524 sqm.

A single penthouse will crown the building, featuring a private pool, barbecue area, indoor gym and dedicated entertaining spaces.

Residents will have access to a resort-style suite of amenities, including a 20-metre pool with daybeds, a gymnasium, hot and cold plunge pools, a sauna, and private residents’ lounge and dining facilities.

Sales agent Todd Matheson, of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/pezet-matheson">Pezet Matheson</a>, which is marketing both 137 Old Burleigh Road and Sea Glass, said 137 Old Burleigh Road would address a clear gap in the market for genuine luxury products.

“There are very few opportunities on the Gold Coast where buyers can secure a residence of this size and quality in a new building,” Matheson said.

“What we’re seeing is a growing cohort of downsizers and interstate buyers who still want space - they’re not willing to compromise on living area, entertaining or finishes.

“This project has been designed with that buyer in mind. It offers the scale of a home, combined with the convenience and security of apartment living, in one of the coast’s most desirable positions.”

Located on a 1,156 sqm site one block from the beachfront, the development will replace an ageing walk-up building and is expected to contribute to the ongoing transformation of the Old Burleigh Road strip into one of the Gold Coast’s most prestigious residential corridors.

With the development moving into the delivery phase, 137 Old Burleigh Road is slated to hit the market later this year.

DVB Projects to launch second Broadbeach apartment tower as demolition commences

<a data-end="327" data-is-only-node="" data-start="250" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/norus-projects" rel="noopener" target="_new">Norus Developments</a> has lodged plans for a new apartment development in Clayton that would add further momentum to the suburb's emerging Green Street corridor.

Plans have been lodged for the consolidated site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1359-1365-centre-road-clayton-vic-3168">1359-1365 Centre Road</a>, where Norus is seeking approval for 218 apartments across a 12-storey apartment building designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/life-architecture-and-urban-design">Life Architecture</a>.

The proposal sits within the Clayton Major Activity Centre at the threshold of the planned Green Street corridor, a landscaped pedestrian connection intended to improve links through the precinct towards Clayton Railway Station.

The development would replace the site's existing collection of low-scale residential and commercial buildings with a single consolidated building, introducing significantly greater housing density to this part of Centre Road.

A retail tenancy is proposed at ground level to activate the Centre Road frontage, accompanied by transparent street interfaces and landscaping intended to create a more pedestrian-focused edge to the development.

<img alt="First look: Norus Developments plans landscape-led apartment project for Clayton’s emerging Green Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0a5a763a-d9e9-4253-af2f-88008de27ebf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Clayton%20a.png?VersionId=S2WJJbat1XVkZwB9SnYtygirXgWHiklX" />

The building has been designed with stepped massing and upper-level setbacks to manage its transition towards surrounding residential properties. The planning report describes the approach as one that integrates the building into the landscape rather than treating landscaping as a secondary element.

"A strong landscape and public realm strategy underpins the proposal," Urbis states in the planning report.

"Public benefits include an affordable housing contribution, a new pocket park, generous landscaped setbacks, deep soil planting and integrated Water Sensitive Urban Design."

The report adds that these elements are intended to create "a permeable, pedestrian-focused ground plane that enhances walkability, supports urban cooling and reinforces the emerging Green Street character."

Biophilic and passive design principles extend through the residential levels, with planting, daylight, natural ventilation and views towards landscaped areas forming part of the amenity strategy.

Parking would be concentrated away from the public realm, with 145 car spaces proposed from the rear laneway rather than dominating the Centre Road frontage.

The proposal follows an extensive pre-application process with the City of Monash. Three formal meetings were held between the project team and Council from December 2025 to March 2026, with the scheme evolving through several concept iterations before the current design was lodged.

The project arrives as Clayton prepares for substantial change around its established activity centre and the wider Suburban Rail Loop precinct. Its position on Centre Road places the development within an existing concentration of shops, services and public transport, while the Green Street connection is intended to strengthen pedestrian access towards Clayton Railway Station.

Castle Hill apartments

Expressions of interest are starting to be taken at Carrington Place, the $850 million Castle Hill masterplan by local developer Ellipse Property Group.

Carrington Place will deliver 771 apartments spread across seven architecturally distinctive buildings designed by Scott Carver. There will be a range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

The first stage to be released, Atrium, will comprise 151 apartments within one eight-storey building with rooftop recreational spaces that provide views of the surrounding landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216766]

Atrium will be the gateway to the Carrington Place precinct, embodying the essence of the community’s vision for a sustainable and healthy lifestyle.

PRD Norwest Managing Director, David Inkster, in collaboration with Ellipse Salesteam, said Atrium will be the most premium apartments in Castle Hill.

“With a deep connection to nature immersed in the peaceful bushland of Cattai Creek, Atrium will provide residents with spacious homes featuring two design schemes," Inkster said.

"These will be the most premium apartments in Castle Hill, primely located directly opposite the Hills Showground Metro Station."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216770]

&nbsp;

Scott Carver’s Senior Interior Designer, Helen Morrow, says there are two colour palettes at Atrium for buyers to choose from.

"The Tranquil palette is a very calm, neutral environment," Morrow said.

"The Luminous on the other hand is a warmer, more expressive palette and that’s more for energy and rejuvenation so it’s modern, fuss-free, it will allow people to really live their best lives."

Award-winning architecture firms Tony Owen Partners and Stanisic Architects have designed the buildings to immerse with its surrounding natural landscapes while complementing the curve of the tranquil Cattai Creek which runs along the western border of the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216764]

&nbsp;

Uniquely, the precinct will be home to over 20,000 sqm of outdoor recreational space and lush gardens, conceived by landscape architect, Ross Shepherd, Director of Site Image Landscape Architects, making it one of the greenest masterplanned communities in the Hills district.

“The lifestyle of this precinct is quite a cosmopolitan meets environmental lifestyle. I think it’s a lovely balanced environment for people to enjoy,” Shepherd said.

A key feature of the project will include a one-kilometre boardwalk running the length of the Cattai Creek connecting to Fred Caterson Reserve, a 58-hectare local reserve featuring picnic tables, children’s playgrounds, along with multiple sports facilities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216768]

Ellipse Property has committed to dedicate over 6500 sqm of the Cattai Creek back to the community in this masterplan.

&nbsp;

Ellipse Property has also collaborated closely with Council on the revegetation management and landscaping of the Cattai Creek Masterplan spanning the Carrington Place site, known locally as ‘The Green Belt’. The area is home to an array of wildlife, flora and fauna, in particular The Powerful Owl, the largest owl on the Australian continent.

Located directly opposite the Hills Showground Metro Station, the development will provide future residents with connectivity to Sydney’s CBD, Chatswood, North Sydney, Macquarie Park and Norwest Business Park. With trains operating every four minutes in peak hour in each direction, residents are offered the highest convenience on Australia’s first driverless railway.

Construction is planned to commence in Q3 2023 with Stage 1 Atrium due for completion in Q3 2025. The entire five-stage precinct is due for completion in 2032.

Ellipse Property Group has received approval from the Hills Shire Council to develop its $850 million masterplanned community, Carrington Place, in Castle Hill.

The huge 3.2 hectare project, which will be the largest residential project in Castle Hill when it hits the market later this year, will bring five buildings with 771 apartments to the burgeoning Hills District.

The first stage to be released to the market will be Atrium, the gateway building to the new urban village. There will be 151 apartments on offer across the eight-level building which will feature a rooftop with recreational spaces which will have views of the surrounding landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216766]

Tony Own Partners, in collaboration with Stanisic Architects, have designed the buildings to blend with the surrounding&nbsp;natural landscapes while complementing the curve of the tranquil Cattai Creek which runs along the western border of the development.

There will be around 20,000 sqm of outdoor recreational space across the whole site, made up of recreational space, and gardens conceived by landscape architect Site Image Landscape Architects.

A key feature of the project will be a one-kilometre boardwalk running the length of the Cattai Creek connecting to Fred Caterson Reserve, a 58-hectare local reserve featuring picnic tables, children’s playgrounds, along with multiple sports facilities.

Ellipse Property, who bought the site in 2016, has committed to dedicate over 6500 sqm of the Cattai Creek back to the community in this masterplan.

Ellipse Property has also worked closely with the local council on the revegetation management and landscaping of the Cattai Creek Masterplan spanning the Carrington Place site known locally as ‘The Green Belt’. The area is home to an array of wildlife, flora and fauna, in particular The Powerful Owl, the largest owl on the Australian continent.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216770]

Carrington Place Project Director Joseph Chiha emphasized that Carrington Place is envisioned as a multi-staged urban village with a strong connection to nature, prioritizing lifestyle, sustainability, and community.

"The project seamlessly blends with the surrounding nature and aims to become one of Sydney's most sustainable urban communities,&nbsp;Chiha said.

Ellipse Property Founder Sam El Rihani said Carrington Place represents a significant milestone for the company, as evidenced by the anticipation surrounding its highly anticipated launch.

"At Ellipse Property, we believe in creating more than just buildings; we strive to develop thriving communities," El Rihani said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216769]

"With Carrington Place, our goal is to foster a sense of belonging and connection among residents. We envision a place where neighbours become friends, where families create lasting memories, and where the community flourishes together."

Each tower within the development will achieve a minimum average 6-star NATHERS rating.

Located directly opposite The Hills Showground Metro Station, Carrington Place will provide future residents with connectivity to Sydney’s CBD, Chatswood, North Sydney, Macquarie Park and Norwest Business Park.

Construction is planned to commence in Q3 2023 with Stage 1 Atrium due for completion in Q3 2025. The entire five-stage precinct is due for completion in 2032.

The huge 3.2 hectare project, which will be the largest residential project in Castle Hill when it hits the market later this year, will bring five buildings with 771 apartments to the burgeoning Hills District.

Move in to Castle Hill's Château Showground September this year

The Hills District is alive with activity.

Since it was announced 5,000 apartments were to be built in the Hills Showground Precinct, Castle Hill and its surrounding areas have gone from strength to strength.

There's been regeneration throughout the district, while the first phase of the redevelopment which opened in 2019 included New South Wales’ first direct pedestrian link to the Castle Hill Metro Station and bus interchange, as well as new communal spaces and a bustling new food court and vibrant marketplace.

Now Castle Towers, one of the largest shopping centres in the country, is to undergo redevelopment.

QIC, founded in 1991 to serve the long-term investment responsibilities of the Queensland government, has unveiled the next phase of the shopping and dining precinct.

Dubbed The Village, plans are before council for a&nbsp;200-key hotel, a 12-story commercial building, a retail component across three levels, a live entertainment venue, a rooftop garden, and a range of other public spaces.

The Woods Bagot-designed hotel will be one of the significant elements of The Village, featuring premium event facilities and several upscale hospitality venues.&nbsp;

QIC has revealed that they will invest a total of $568 million in the masterplan for The Village, which will be the next phase of its Castle Towers Shopping Centre precinct, designed by BVN.

According to QIC, the first 12-story commercial building, at 2 Castle Street, will be of A-grade quality and the first of its type to be built in the area.

The Village is one of the many new developments happening around the area that will benefit the boom in residential development that is occurring as more buyers take to the outskirts of the city.&nbsp;

Kassis Homes' Grand Reve will be one to benefit from the new mixed-use development, located just down the road at&nbsp;8 and 18 Garthowen Crescent. As will Deicorp's Hills Showground Village and KWG's Castle Island, which are both just a five minutes drive from the proposed precinct.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=133881 project_image_fid=209816]

But it's not just those within the immediate area that will be able to take advantage of the world-class precinct, especially with the Metro Train line servicing a number of nearby suburbs.&nbsp;

The first stage of Norwest Quarter will become part of a vibrant and connected masterplanned neighbourhood just five minutes on the Metro from Castle Towers, with developing giants Mulpha at the helm.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Over 70 per cent of the precinct is green, open space, with a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments planned across the first two towers, Banksia and Lacebark.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=103264 project_image_fid=196019]

The zero-carbon development will transform over 3.8 hectares of greenfield land into a vibrant town centre for over 2,000 residents once complete, with prices starting at&nbsp;$620,000 for a one-bedroom apartment.&nbsp;

Two-bedroom apartments are priced from&nbsp;$860,000 while the three-bedders begin at&nbsp;$1.46 million.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Developers Deicorp have been prominent in the north-west corridor, with the group also developing in Tallawong, just next to Rouse Hill. Tallawong Village is situated on the steps of the Metro line, which will take residents to Castle Towers within 15 minutes.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106821 project_image_fid=169991]

Tallawong Village is the group's largest north-west development, set to feature 333 apartments when completed later this year.&nbsp;

Delivering a collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, the varying floorplans will target the owner-occupier market along with investors with a keen eye for the developing market.&nbsp;

The group continued a strong relationship with architects, Turner Studio, who have designed many of the apartments to feature additional study spaces.&nbsp;

The village will also benefit from the planned future Tallawong Town Centre, which will deliver up to 30,000 sqm of retail floorspace, while the bustling Rouse Hill Town Centre is just one stop away on the Metro.&nbsp;

There's been regeneration throughout the district, as well as the new Metro line serving a more direct route to the city.
