A landmark former orphanage site in Surrey Hills could be transformed into a new residential community under plans lodged by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/antipodean-land-developments">Antipodean Land Developments</a> that would deliver 76 apartments and townhouses while restoring some of the suburb's most significant heritage buildings.

The burgeoninng Melbourne-based developer has submitted plans for the 9,158 sqm site at 1 Kent Road and 24 Durham Road, home to the former St Joseph's Home for Destitute Children, a historic institutional complex dating back to the late 19th century. The proposal seeks to adaptively reuse several heritage buildings while introducing two new four-storey residential buildings set within extensive landscaped grounds.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> and Kerstin Thompson Architects, the project has been conceived as a contemporary residential village embedded within a restored heritage precinct. The development team describes the design approach as "The Village in the Garden," with new buildings positioned among mature landscaping by OCULUS and significant heritage structures.

<img alt="First look: Antipodean Land Developments plans heritage-led apartment community in Surrey Hills" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="44ec8c1b-c0b6-44ae-859e-5811b3e6a023" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20%281%29.png?VersionId=p.p1_KFh4iQoV4nisdnPfQBAsWNi7m79" />

The proposal would deliver 76 dwellings comprising a mix of apartments and duplex-style residences, significantly increasing housing supply on one of the largest privately held residential landholdings in Surrey Hills. The development includes 127 car spaces, 24 bicycle spaces and more than 1,000 sqm of communal amenity, with the existing chapel building earmarked for conversion into resident facilities.

According to the planning submission, the project centres on the restoration and adaptive reuse of the site's most significant heritage assets, including the original c.1889 St Joseph's building, the chapel designed by architect Augustus Andrew Fritsch, and the historic brick perimeter walls and entry gates. The proposal also incorporates the retention of other contributory buildings including the former infirmary and school building.

Tract Consultants, in the planning report accompanying the application, said the scheme had been shaped through extensive heritage analysis and design development.

"The shared vision for the Site by the project team has culminated in a scheme which successfully breathes life back into a historic site while delivering upon the objectives of Victoria's Housing Statement in a carefully curated and contextually responsive manner."

The proposal is being assessed under Victoria's Significant Residential Development with Affordable Housing pathway. As part of the application, three per cent of the project's residential development cost would be contributed to the Social Housing Growth Fund. The development would also provide a diverse mix of one, two and three-bedroom residences targeting a broader range of buyers than typically found in Surrey Hills' detached housing market.

Sustainability initiatives include an anticipated 66 per cent BESS score, natural cross-ventilation to 80 per cent of apartments, 28 per cent deep soil landscaping and a canopy cover outcome exceeding local planning requirements. The proposal also sets aside more than 1,083 sqm for communal indoor and outdoor resident amenity spaces.

Planning documents describe the property as one of the largest underutilised residential sites in Surrey Hills, arguing it presents a rare opportunity to introduce "missing middle" housing in an established inner-eastern suburb while preserving and revitalising a significant heritage precinct.

Antipodean Land Developments has built a reputation for design-focused residential projects across Melbourne, particularly in the medium-density sector. Previous developments include Neighbourhood in Brunswick East, delivered with Breathe Architecture, and Balfe Park Lane, designed by Kerstin Thompson Architects.

They've been very active in site acquisition as they build out their future development pipeline. They recently launched Thornubury House, 45 apartments above a mix of commercial, retail, and food and beverage tenancies, and have plans for a boutique project in Fitzroy and another <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/vic/antipodean-plan-apartments-for-deepdenes-missing-middle-on-whitehorse-road">"missing middle" project</a> on Deepdene's Whitehorse Road.

Developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/auyin-property-development">Auyin</a> is the latest to turn to the Victorian Government's Development Facilitation Program in an effort to secure approval for its long-planned, mixed-use project in Elsternwick.

In 2018, Auyin lodged plans with Glen Eira City Council for a 14-storey building, however Council approved a reduced eight-storey scheme. A subsequent VCAT appeal in 2019 upheld the eight-storey height limit.

The project was later amended to nine storeys, but Auyin is now seeking to revive something closer to its original vision. The developer argues that the planning context has evolved significantly over the past decade, particularly within the Elsternwick Activity Centre, where higher-density development has increasingly been encouraged along Glen Huntly Road.

The proposal would transform the 1,239 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/7-12-horne-street-elsternwick-vic-3185">7-15 Horne Street</a>, opposite Elsternwick Railway Station, into a 13-storey residential and retail development designed by CBG Architects, with 40 apartments

The site currently comprises three commercial properties.

<img alt="First look: 13-storey mixed-use tower planned for Elsternwick activity centre" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5f465dd4-509b-4082-a669-0253b313914b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/elsternwick%20podium.png?VersionId=72frWi0SmQ5AVJ3ARRhX5ILUYObhTm7x" />

The proposed apartment mix comprises 25 two-bedroom and 15 three-bedroom residences above 200 sqm of retail space at ground level. Residents would have access to a 90 sqm wellness facility, a 351 sqm communal indoor and outdoor terrace on the third level, and extensive landscaped areas throughout the development. A publicly accessible 135 sqm plaza would be created on the north-east corner of the site, providing seating, landscaping, and a new gathering space adjoining Horne Street.

The design adopts a four-storey podium that references the finer-grain character of the surrounding streetscape, with the upper tower recessed behind generous setbacks on all boundaries.

<img alt="First look: 13-storey mixed-use tower planned for Elsternwick activity centre" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e637e763-2abc-4c34-a0aa-5c7ad36fae18" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/elsternwick%20open.png?VersionId=J1AoOpZgTyaF.KeeFSX6lMjEScX8KKRi" />

A key element of the proposal is the reconfiguration and widening of the surrounding laneways. Vehicle access would be retained from Lois Lane, with upgraded pedestrian connections linking Ross Street and Horne Street. The development would provide 58 residential car spaces, two retail car spaces, and 52 bicycle spaces across two basement levels and ground-floor facilities.

Architecturally, the building draws inspiration from the established character of Elsternwick Village. The façade combines dark charcoal brickwork, textured concrete, bronze-toned metal detailing, and extensive planting integrated into podium and tower levels. The design also incorporates a chamfered corner treatment and publicly accessible plaza intended to strengthen pedestrian activity around the station precinct.

Elsternwick's last new development completion was&nbsp;EVA Elsternwick by Pitard late last year. <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/milieu-property">Milieu</a> is working away on its nature-led neighbourhood, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elsternwick-gardens-by-milieu-8-gordon-street-elsternwick-vic-3185">Elsternwick Gardens</a>, on Gordon Street, with its first stage expected to complete next year.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/otium-parkdale-123-125-como-parade-east-parkdale-vic-3195">Otium Parkdale</a>, the 13-residence boutique development by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/huxtable-property">Huxtable Property</a>, has entered its final stages of delivery, with completion expected within the coming month and more than half of the residences sold.

The Como Parade East project is nearing the finish line at a time when opportunities to purchase new apartments in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/parkdale-vic-3195">Parkdale</a> remain exceptionally limited. Fewer than 10 per cent of dwellings in the bayside suburb are apartments, making developments like Otium a relatively rare addition to a market traditionally dominated by detached housing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134974 project_image_fid=5427]

The three-level development comprises 13 residences, including ten two-bedroom apartments and three larger three-bedroom homes, all positioned above a secure basement car park.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/almeida-architects">Almeida Architects</a> with a strong connection to its coastal surroundings, Otium combines red brick, exposed concrete and dark metal detailing with integrated landscaping and greenery. Expansive glazing, generous balconies and terraces have been incorporated throughout the design to maximise natural light and reinforce indoor-outdoor living.

Inside, the residences feature engineered European oak flooring, natural and reconstituted stone benchtops, Bosch kitchen appliances, ducted heating and cooling, lift access and secure entry systems. The larger three-bedroom residences on the upper level have been designed with house-like proportions, while the two-bedroom apartments prioritise functionality, flexibility and low-maintenance living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134974 project_image_fid=5421]

The project is now in its final stages, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/labco">Labco</a> completing the remaining landscaping and external finishing works following the completion of the residences' interiors.

Otium's location within the heart of Parkdale continues to underpin its appeal. Residents will be just steps from local cafés, restaurants, shops and the newly elevated Parkdale Station, while the beach is less than a kilometre away.

With the project tracking ahead of schedule, buyers can currently secure a residence with a five per cent deposit and benefit from settlement terms of up to eight months. The advanced stage of construction also provides buyers with the opportunity to walk through the near-complete residences and experience the quality and finishes firsthand ahead of completion.

A new boutique apartment development is entering the market in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chermside-qld-4032">Chermside</a>, with Brisbane-based developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/ausdev">Ausdev</a> bringing 33 residences to a well-connected pocket of Brisbane's north.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/parkdrive-apartments-chermside-25-sammells-drive-chermside-qld-4032">Parkdrive Apartments</a>, at 25 Sammells Drive, will comprise a mix of one- and two-bedroom residences positioned within walking distance of Westfield Chermside, The Prince Charles Hospital, and Bradbury Park.

Established in 1989, Ausdev has a long-standing presence across both development and construction, with Parkdrive Apartments representing its latest residential project in Brisbane's northern suburbs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152125 project_image_fid=363778]

The development has been designed around open-plan living and natural light, with residences featuring stone benchtops, timber cabinetry, BOSCH appliances, and private balconies that extend the living areas outdoors.

Kitchens are positioned as the centrepiece of the homes, incorporating natural material palettes and integrated appliances, while bathrooms have been designed with a focus on functionality and understated finishes.

Residents will have access to a communal barbecue and entertaining area on Level 3, providing shared outdoor space within the development. Secure parking and lift access are also incorporated into the building.

The project will deliver a limited collection of 33 apartments, with one-bedroom residences priced from $749,000.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152125 project_image_fid=363782]

Beyond the building itself, the location places residents within easy reach of several of Chermside's key amenities. Bradbury Park is around 350 metres away, while Westfield Chermside is approximately 1.3 kilometres from the site. The Prince Charles Hospital is located within 750 metres, and the Chermside Bus Interchange is around 1.5 kilometres away, providing connections across Brisbane.

Parkdrive Apartments adds to the growing residential pipeline in Chermside, a suburb that continues to evolve as a major retail, healthcare, and transport hub for Brisbane's north.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/skymark-group">Skymark</a>'s boutique Cronulla development Solis has secured a 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy through Resilience Insurance, providing buyers of the 16-residence building on Ewos Parade with structural and waterproofing protection that extends a decade beyond the building's completion.

Currently under construction and due for completion in late 2027, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/solis-cronulla-8-ewos-parade-cronulla-nsw-2230">Solis</a> is one of a small number of new developments in the Sutherland Shire to carry Resilience LDI coverage, a distinction that carries increasing weight as buyer confidence in the off-the-plan sector continues to be shaped by how developers stand behind their product.

Latent Defects Insurance, which entered the Australian market in 2022 when Resilience Insurance was approved to offer the cover, protects buyers against major structural or waterproofing defects for ten years post-completion. Unlike traditional statutory warranties, it operates as a first-resort policy, if a covered defect arises, the insurer responds directly, without the buyer needing to pursue the builder or developer through a lengthy claims process.

Resilience Insurance CEO Corey Nugent has noted that the product addresses something fundamental to the new apartment market.

"The overarching feedback from prospective buyers in the new development space is that they want more confidence and assurances around the quality of the build," Nugent says.

"Resilience Insurance Latent Defects Insurance not only gives them complete peace of mind for 10 years, but it shows the developer they are buying from is standing by their product."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150499 project_image_fid=370898]

For Solis, the Resilience LDI policy adds a meaningful layer of accountability to an already considered project. The development comprises nine two-bedroom and seven three-bedroom residences, including one dual-level three-bedroom apartment, across a five-storey building on Ewos Parade, positioned between Shelly Beach and South Cronulla.

Garden apartments connect directly to private landscaped courtyards, while upper-level homes capture beach views to the east from level four and above.&nbsp;

All 16 residences include at least one balcony or courtyard, and select apartments on the upper floors feature bar areas and secondary flexible living spaces.

Hiba Sander, Managing Director of Skymark, says Solis offers a rare balance, nestled between the quiet beauty of secluded beaches and the lively charm of South Cronulla's esplanade.

"It's a place to choose your pace and live gracefully, seaside'," Sander says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150499 project_image_fid=370900]

The architecture, designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ida-design-group">IDA Design Group</a>'s Michael Trinh, draws from the natural erosion patterns of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/cronulla-nsw-2230">Cronulla</a>'s sandstone headlands, translating the organic forms of the coastline into soft curves, pavilion-style massing, and a material palette chosen for longevity in a salt-tinged environment.&nbsp;

Textured natural stone, soft renders, and timber-look battens reference the tones of the surrounding cliffs, while the building has been oriented to maximise natural light and passive ventilation, with primary living spaces facing north and east to capture morning sun and sea breezes.

"At Solis, our aim was to create architecture that feels quietly confident, grounded in natural materials like stone and timber, and elevated by light and landscape," Trinh says.&nbsp;

"The buildings are designed to sit gently within their coastal surrounds, with expansive glazing and abundant greenery creating a seamless dialogue between inside and out."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150499 project_image_fid=370897]

Interiors by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/hot-black">Hot Black</a> carry the same material language through to every room. Kitchens feature integrated Gaggenau appliances, sculpted stone benchtops, and Lo &amp; Co joinery, while bathrooms feature natural stone, timber, and brushed metal finishes.&nbsp;

Hot Black Founder and Design Director Sophie Safrin describes the intent as one of considered restraint: "At Solis, every detail has been thoughtfully considered to create a timeless coastal retreat, calm, refined, and effortlessly liveable. From natural finishes to seamless indoor-outdoor flow, Solis offers a quiet elegance that's deeply connected to its surroundings.

The landscape, designed by Julian Brady of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/sitedesignstudios">Site Design Studios</a>, treats green space as an integral part of the resident experience rather than an afterthought.&nbsp;

"Gentle curves and layered native plantings mirror the ebb and flow of the ocean," Julian Brady says, "creating a serene connection between architecture and place."&nbsp;

Coco Republic has provided bespoke furniture packages tailored to the project's coastal palette.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150499 project_image_fid=370899]

Skymark has an established track record in the Sutherland Shire, with a portfolio spanning Cronulla, Woolooware and Burraneer that includes Isla, Sylva, Bask, Shells, Sula and Mist. Securing LDI on Solis reflects a broader shift in how the developer is positioning its buildings to buyers, at a time when Resilience Insurance expects the policy to become mandatory in New South Wales by 2028.

Sales at Solis are launching soon through Ray White Projects, with an official event scheduled for 11 June. Enquire for more information.

Architect Luigi Rosselli has quietly bought next door in Clovelly, spending $2.4 million on the house neighbouring his long-held 1920s late Federation home — which had cost him $350,000 in 1989.
Rosselli has reworked, extended and renovated the single-storey cottage over the years to accommodate heirloom family furniture from Italy.
This purchase is for family members.
He was a recent database buyer through Phillips Pantzer Donnelly agent Alexander Phillips, who sold the home off-market.
The classic home on 330 square metres has two bedrooms and one bathroom.

Sydney Sixers captain Moises Henriques and wife Kristy are selling their Clovelly home with a house project up the road.
The all-rounder paid $1.17 million <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-townhouse-nsw-clovelly-129554898" target="_blank">for the townhouse</a> in 2010.
Spanning three levels, the home has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a lower level retreat adjoining the two car garage.
The open plan living space with bamboo floorboards and high ceilings open to a private courtyard with integrated barbecue, timber seating and landscaped garden beds.
There are district views from the upper level balcony.
The Agency's Bethwyn Richards and Anji Lake are marketing the property for a November 10 auction. 
The first open yesterday saw 18 groups through with a $2 million price guidance.
Henriques proposed to Krista Thomas, a former KIIS FM newsreader, last year during a romantic holiday at Lake Wakatipu in New Zealand. 
Henriques, who previously captain New South Wales, will be pulling on the magenta for the seventh year in a row in this year's T20 Big Bash.
He has played for Australia in all forms of the game.

Solotel, headed by publican Bruce Solomon and chef Matt Moran, have sold the Clovelly Hotel, with Nick Wills' Tilley &amp; Wills Group touted as the buyers.
The Tilley &amp; Wills hotels group own Sydney CBD's Verandah and North Sydney’s Greenwood Hotel.
Bruce Solomon, director of the Solotel Group, told the Australian Hotelier website they're rebalancing their portfolio.
“Solotel have made a strategic decision to rebalance our portfolio for future growth, and invest in our freehold venues.
"This means we are unfortunately saying goodbye to the Cloey locals, who were a pleasure to serve over the past two years.”
Solotel asset manager John Preston suggested the Cloey is an important part of the local community.
"We have a first class team to take the Hotel forward and the best times are ahead.”
It was less than two years ago that Moran and Solomon's Solotel bought the property from Iris Capital.

Enduring celebrity chef Justine Schofield has traded up in the eastern suburbs to Clovelly.
Schofield, who presents Everyday Gourmet on Channel Ten for the last seven years, sold her Queens Park apartment.
Her 1920s Clovelly house (pictured above), with ocean glimpses, cost $2.6 million. It is a four bedroom semi on 200 sqm, set closer to Queens Park than the beach.
Updated since it last traded for $805,000 in 2003, the residence features a home office, a master suite with its own balcony and a private outdoor entertaining area off the open plan kitchen, living and dining area.
She'll no doubt be taking advantage of the tropical outdoor setting as in a recent interview she said she adored alfresco eating.
"Nothing better than having a laugh, great food and wine with your friends while enjoying daylight savings," she said.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2018/7/13/Clovelly%20spaghetti.JPG" alt="">
Belle Property Bondi Junction agent Daniel Gillespie sold the home which also comes with an impressive kitchen.
Schofield made a tidy profit on her Queens Park unit when it sold for $880,000 earlier this year.
The one bedroom designer apartment on the top floor of a Brian Meyerson Architects-designed block cost her $587,000 in 2012, showing a strong 17% percent annual price growth.
She bought the apartment a year after her first episode aired. She's now racked up over 500 episodes.
Schofield, who has been recently promoting the culinary delights of the Northern Territory, is Masterchef success story.
She competed in the first ever series back in 2009, making it to the final four. 
Up until last year she had been in a long-distance relationship with Channel 7 news presenter Matt Doran.
Doran had been based in the US, hosting cable crime show Crime Watch Daily. The pair kept the relationship going for a further two years.
Season eight of Everyday Gourmet with Justine Schofield began earlier this month.

Sydney's favourite vet Dr. Chris Brown has departed Bondi.
First he gave up on Bondi Vet, the hit TV show that made him a household name, and now he's bought in Clovelly.
He's just splashed $5.8 million on a classic beach house a stone's throw from the beach.
His exit from the Bondi scene was off market, securing a $4.5 million buyer for his Dudley Street property.
His new home set in north facing landscaped gardens on 750 sqm is much closer to the beach, via a pathway with direct access.
The two storey family beach home has three bedrooms and a 100 sqm rear deck with day bed and firepit.
It was advertised as having a classic beach house vibe by Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agents Alexander Phillips and David Tyrell.
The home that last traded for $2,225,000 in 2003.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/12/12/brown2.jpg" alt="">
Goodyer Real Estate agents Amanda Balding and Pauline Goodyer sold the transformed Bondi home in just 16 days.
Dr Chris renovated after he paid $1.92 million in 2010, two years after he began the Network Ten show Bondi Vet which shadowed him at work at a clinic in Bondi Junction.
The Peter Dunkley transformation, completed 18 months ago, turned the home in to a contemporary five bedder with home lime-washed American Oak floors and a Tallowwood deck.
The open plan casual living, dining and kitchen area flows to an entertainer's courtyard complete with built-in barbecue.
A top floor master bedroom has panoramic views stretching from North Bondi towards Maroubra.
Brown's girlfriend Kendall Bora was not a joint buyer.
Brown and Bora have been dating for over 20 months.
Brown has been presenting I'm A Celebrity since 2015 and also presents Network Ten's The Living Room.
He broke onto the television vet scene in 2003 when he starred on Harry's Practice, nominated for a Logie for Most Popular New Talent.

Selina Baxby, the wife of David Baxby, the former long-time lieutenant of Richard Branson, have paid the top price for a home in Clovelly.
They have emerged as the buyers of the record breaking home of actor Duncan Armitage and artist John Copley, who sold their Gordons Bay home in February for $8 million.
Set on the Cliffbrook Parade dress circle, the absolute oceanfront home spans three levels and has four bedrooms, two kitchens and an outdoor dining area with pool.
The master suite comes with a rooftop terrace and the ground floor features a lower level cinema room and home office.
Armitage and Copley paid $1.5 million for the home in 2000, with a redesign by architects Erik Rudolfsson and Joseph Alliker
Penny Costello at Penny's Projects and Properties sold the home.
The home bettered the previous $7.7 million record set when Helen Maneas, wife of Peter Maneas, the chief executive of construction group Ganellen bought on Eastbourne Avenue.
The Baxby's have left Coogee, where they scored $4.13 million for their 1905 Federation home.
They had paid $3.6 million for the five bedroom family home in late 2015 following David's return to Australia from Virgin Geneva.

Now set within gardens by Secret Gardens, the challenge was to make it not look prefab, Julie Eldridge advised on the show.

The pods once lifted into position created an uber modern, two storey residence.

Clad in zinc and timber, the customised home has four bedrooms, a home office, suspended fireplace and a wine cellar.

An outdoor terrace and pool on the 600 sqm look out to the ocean.

Belle Property Bondi Junction agent Daniel Gillespie sold the home well before its mid August auction. 

Local whispers suggests it sold to the formerly Coogee based luxury car dealer Steve Nasteski, who was after a stop-gap home having recently sold his apartment in the new Bondi Pacific building to Ginia Rinehart, the daughter of mining magnate Gina Rinehart.

Bank of Scotland CIO Patrick Eltridge sells designer Clovelly home

<html><body>
Colliers International and JLL Hotels &amp; Hospitality Group are selling Iris Capital's stake in Sydney's Clovelly Hotel.
The hotel, overlooking Clovelly Beach is home to celebrity chef Matt Moran.
In February 2017, MorSol – a joint venture between Matt Moran and Solotel Hotel Group – secured a long-term leasehold interest in the Clovelly Hotel.
A triple net leaseback arrangement is part of the sale, as is Lessor ownership of the hotel licence and fifteen gaming machine entitlements.
Miron Solomons, Colliers Director, said the underlying intrinsic value of this property is exceptional and to find a beachfront investment of this size in Sydney especially with a tenant of this calibre is just so unique.
“The coveted triple net lease structure and fixed annual income growth make this a compelling annuity-based investment with great underlying property,” he said.
The sales campaign will close on 30th August 2017.
