Melbourne developer Spacious Group has completed Voyage Altona, one of the closest new apartment developments to Altona Beach.

Off the plan purchasers have started moving into the 49-apartment project on Pier Street, with the remaining move-in-ready one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments starting from just over $500,000.

Display apartments have now been fitted out, allowing prospective buyers to inspect the completed residences by appointment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112195 project_image_fid=372638]

The completed apartments feature open-plan living and dining areas which extend onto private balconies and terraces, while full-height glazing maximises natural light throughout the interiors.&nbsp;

Hybrid timber-look flooring, stone benchtops, Miele appliances, porcelain-tiled bathrooms and generous storage feature throughout the building which also features landscaped communal areas, expansive shared terraces, lift access and secure on-grade parking.

Drawing inspiration from its bayside setting, Voyage adopts a restrained palette of warm neutral tones and textured finishes. Many of the apartments take advantage of views across Port Phillip Bay, while the indoor-outdoor living spaces have been designed to make the most of the coastal outlook.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112195 project_image_fid=3286]

Voyage was developed to address what Spacious Group identified as an undersupply of higher-quality apartment product in Altona, with a focus on owner-occupiers looking to remain within the bayside community.

"Voyage responds to very strong local buyer demand for quality, owner-occupier-focused product," says Barry Plant Projects Director Jarrod Farey, who has handled sales since the project's launch.

"The project delivers an elevated lifestyle proposition, with its design and quality of finish far exceeding anything previously produced in the area, as well as its proximity to Pier Street Village and the beach."

The majority of purchasers have been local downsizers and owner-occupiers looking to stay within the Altona community but who previously had limited opportunities to buy a brand-new apartment.

Homecorp has secured approval for a $360 million apartment development at Budds Beach, paving the way for one of the Gold Coast's most amenity-rich residential projects to launch later this year.

Gold Coast City Council has approved Lýon Residences, a 32-level tower that will deliver 178 two and three-bedroom apartments across a prominent corner site at 8-10 Acacia Avenue and 25-27 Oak Avenue.

The approval comes as developers continue to invest in premium lifestyle-driven apartment projects on the Gold Coast, where owner occupiers are increasingly prioritising amenity as much as apartment size and location.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/l-on-residences-25-27-oak-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Lýon Residences</a> has been designed around a resort-style wellness offering, headlined by a Moroccan-inspired spa precinct featuring treatment rooms, a Nordic sauna and steam room, hot and cold plunge pools, a soaking pool and a residents-only juice bar.

The rooftop will include a heated infinity pool and spa, residents' lounge with private kitchen and bar, gymnasium, yoga and Pilates studio, outdoor entertaining areas and barbecue facilities overlooking the Surfers Paradise skyline.

<img alt="Lyon" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2d3e29af-8793-486e-a684-52cef862241f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-15%20at%204.32.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ayG2zpLf3SS6Zy8XmKDcQods4kVWb0gm" />

Homecorp Founder and CEO Ron Bakir said Budds Beach provided the ideal location for the company's latest luxury apartment project.

"Budds Beach represents one of the most unique and sought-after pockets of the Gold Coast, and Lýon Residences has been designed to reflect that sense of rarity and refinement," Bakir said.

The project arrives as wellness continues to become a defining feature of new residential developments both in Australia and internationally.

The latest Global Wellness Institute figures show wellness real estate remains the fastest-growing segment of the global wellness economy and is forecast to exceed $1.8 trillion by 2030. Australia continues to rank among the world's 15 largest wellness real estate markets, with developers increasingly integrating health, recreation and community facilities into apartment projects.

Queensland is also experiencing strong population growth, with the Gold Coast continuing to outperform many other Australian cities as demand for new housing remains elevated ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Bakir said the project had been designed to respond to that shift in buyer expectations.

"Strong population growth and sustained demand across the Gold Coast continue to highlight the need for well-designed new housing supply. Lýon Residences responds directly to this demand while setting a new benchmark for residential living," he said.

Each apartment has been designed to maximise views across the coastline, the Nerang River and the Gold Coast hinterland.

Located just minutes from Surfers Paradise beach and the Broadwater, the development also offers easy access to the light rail network, Broadbeach and Burleigh Heads.

Early site works are underway, with construction expected to commence later this year.

New apartment developments with uninterrupted, north-facing views over Perth's Swan River are exceptionally rare.

Recognising just how limited those opportunities are, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/edge-visionary-living">Edge Visionary Living</a>, one of Perth's most respected builder-developers, targeted <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/applecross-wa-6153">Applecross</a>, assembling an unrepeatable 6,342 sqm riverfront site on the corner of Moreau Mews and Canning Beach Road to create one of Perth's only new north-facing apartment developments directly overlooking the Swan River.

Today, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/riviere-residences-applecross-59-canning-beach-road-applecross-wa-6153">Rivière Residences</a> offers buyers a unique opportunity to choose between completed residences ready to move into now and off-the-plan homes in the final stage, Rivière West.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28384 project_image_fid=3823]

Across the completed East and Central buildings, residents are already enjoying the development's luxury amenity, while two of the precinct's hospitality venues are now open.

The completed component of the development gives buyers the advantage of experiencing the finished product firsthand, including its uninterrupted river views, while still having the opportunity to secure a residence in the final stage.

"People are wowed by the view and the quality of the apartments,"&nbsp;Edge Visionary Living Sales Executive, Holly McSweeney, says.

"They're looking for the convenience of lock-and-leave living, but they're not looking to downsize on quality."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28384 project_image_fid=3826]

The rarity of the development hasn't been lost on prospective buyers, McSweeney says.

For McSweeney, it all comes back to a location that is becoming increasingly difficult to replicate.

"Location, location, location," she says. "We are nestled right on the front of the Swan River. You can never get built out, so wherever you are in Rivière Residences, you've got views of the river forever."

The unique waterfront position has resonated particularly strongly with local downsizers. McSweeney says many buyers are long-time Applecross residents looking to transition from large family homes into a luxury apartment without sacrificing space, quality or the lifestyle they've enjoyed for decades.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/N_FowNW0wu8?si=vb25XFq1wZ-iufAW" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

A major focus for Edge in recent years has been resident amenity. Across its apartment portfolio, from beachfront developments in Scarborough to luxury towers in South Perth, the developer has increasingly invested in the spaces beyond the apartment itself.

The strategy has largely been shaped by downsizer demand. Many buyers are moving from large family homes with swimming pools and established gardens. While they're looking to leave the maintenance behind, they don't want to compromise on lifestyle.

At Rivière, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/hillam-architects">Hillam Architects</a> designed the resident facilities as an extension of each apartment. A 25-metre heated swimming pool takes advantage of the north-facing river outlook, complemented by a large gym, sauna and steam rooms, private dining spaces, residents' lounges, a cinema, games room, and dedicated wine and whisky rooms.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28384 project_image_fid=372542]

The waterfront location has also proved to be a major drawcard. Residents are within walking distance of the Raffles Hotel, South of Perth Yacht Club, the Heathcote Cultural Precinct and the cafés, restaurants and boutiques along Ardross Street.

Beyond the location and amenity, McSweeney says many buyers take confidence from Edge's fully integrated development model.

Having delivered apartments across Perth for decades, Edge now designs, develops and constructs its projects in-house, giving the company greater control over quality, delivery and the finished product.

"What I love is when people walk through their apartment for the first time and say, 'This is better than what we imagined,'" McSweeney says. "We hear that all the time."

Completed apartments in the East and Central buildings are now available to inspect by appointment, while Rivière West, the final stage of the precinct, is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2027.

North-facing Swan River views drive demand at Rivière Residences in Applecross

Nearly 60 per cent of apartments at McNab Group's $220 million The Tannery development in Brisbane's West End have sold ahead of the project's public launch, including a suburb-record $2.57 million sale for a two-bedroom apartment.

The early sales campaign has secured buyers for 50 of the project's 87 apartments, highlighting continued demand for larger owner-occupier apartments that combine generous floorplans with premium lifestyle amenities in one of Brisbane's most tightly held inner-city suburbs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374768]

McNab Group Executive Chairman Michael McNab said selling more than half the project before launch reflected changing buyer expectations.

"Selling more than half the project before public sales open tells us buyers are actively seeking apartments that offer something genuinely different," McNab said.

"Today's buyers are looking beyond four walls. They want homes that genuinely enhance the way they live, with spaces that support health, connection and everyday wellbeing."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374767]

A key point of difference for the project is the adaptive reuse of the heritage-listed Dixon's Tannery building, which will become The Retreat, a residents-only wellness precinct rather than being redeveloped into additional apartments.

The Retreat will feature a sauna and steam room, hot and cold plunge pools, a commercial-grade gym, Pilates studio, cinema, library, co-working spaces and private dining room. Rooftop amenities will include a swimming pool, landscaped gardens, outdoor entertaining areas and dog-friendly spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374760]

Designed by Cottee Parker Architects with interiors by Tom Mark Henry and landscape architecture by Aspect Studios, The Tannery comprises 87 two, three and four-bedroom apartments across 11 levels overlooking the Brisbane River.

Cottee Parker principal Dee Passenger said preserving the original tannery building had been central to the project's design.

"The easy option would have been to maximise the site's development potential with additional apartments. Instead, McNab has chosen to preserve the original tannery as a shared wellness retreat, ensuring this important piece of Brisbane's history remains at the heart of the community."

Passenger said sustainability also played a key role in the design, with materials from the original industrial site salvaged and repurposed throughout the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374761]

Motiv CEO Carly Cottam said buyers had responded strongly to the combination of larger apartments, wellness facilities and the West End lifestyle.

"We are seeing more buyers looking for homes in the sky that provide the space and functionality of a traditional home, while benefiting from the convenience and lifestyle that apartment living brings," Cottam said.

She said purchasers included both owner occupiers and investors, with demand coming from local buyers as well as interstate purchasers.

Coinciding with the public launch, McNab also announced a partnership with Queensland Ballet, whose neighbouring Thomas Dixon Centre shares historical ties with the original Dixon family.

Located on a 4,465 sqm site at 439 Montague Road, The Tannery overlooks the Brisbane River and is around 10 minutes from the CBD.

Construction is underway, with completion expected in the second half of 2027.

Iwan Sunito's vision for a landmark mixed-use precinct in Sydney's Inner West has taken a major step forward, with approval granted for the $1.9 billion Five Dock development first unveiled earlier this year.

The approved scheme by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/one-global-capital">One Global Capital</a> will deliver an 80,500 sqm mixed-use precinct comprising 840 apartments, integrated hotel accommodation, commercial and retail space, alongside publicly accessible open space designed to create a new destination for the growing suburb.

"This is a significant milestone for One Global Capital and for the future of housing delivery in Sydney," Sunito said.

"The Housing Delivery Authority was established to identify major housing projects capable of delivering meaningful supply more efficiently, and we are delighted that Spencer Street has been recognised as one of those projects.”

He said the declaration reflected the rapid progress achieved since acquiring control of the site.

"In less than seven months we have progressed from taking control of the site to securing entry into one of the NSW Government's most important planning pathways. It reflects the experience of our team, the strength of our consultant group led by Urbis, and our long-term commitment to delivering transformational projects that contribute to Sydney's future."

When the project was revealed earlier this year, Sunito described the opportunity as one of the strongest development sites he had worked on.

"I probably hadn't appreciated the uniqueness of the site until more recently when putting together the concept plans," Sunito said.

"The proximity to the water, and the golf course opposite, is unlike any other part of Parramatta Road. We have a unique position and view corridors over the water that makes this one of the best sites I've worked on."

The development has evolved since its initial announcement, with the approved plans increasing the residential component from the originally proposed 750 apartments to 840 homes while retaining the project's focus on creating an integrated neighbourhood rather than a standalone residential development.

The precinct will combine apartments with hotel accommodation, commercial workplaces, retail offerings and public spaces, creating a mixed-use environment intended to serve both residents and the broader Five Dock community. The proposal also continues the collaboration between One Global Capital and internationally recognised architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/koichi-takada-architects">Koichi Takada</a>, whose previous work with Sunito includes Infinity, Arc and Skye North Sydney.

Takada previously said the design was driven by a philosophy of integrating nature into the built environment.

"The concept for this development is born from our design approach to naturalising architecture," Takada said.

"The public realm benefits from biophilic design that integrates generous landscaping, and the development is optimised for natural daylight, airflow and water views to foster wellbeing, sustainability and spaces that foster community interaction."

Sunito has consistently described the project as a "city within a city", with a strong emphasis on creating a destination that extends beyond housing.

"We want to create a development that's not only to be seen, but to be experienced by the whole local community," he said.

The approval comes as Five Dock continues its transformation ahead of the opening of the Sydney Metro West line, with the new Five Dock station set to significantly improve connections between the Inner West, Parramatta and the Sydney CBD.&nbsp;

The precinct will also benefit from its proximity to the Parramatta Road corridor, nearby waterfront parklands and established retail and dining offerings that have made Five Dock one of Sydney's most tightly held Inner West suburbs.

Two childcare centres were much sought after at Burgess Rawson's 100th portfolio auction in Melbourne.
The one in Hampton sold for $3.95 million and the other in Heatherton for $3.2 million.
“Both childcare centres attracted strong and competitive bidding with both Hampton and Heatherton selling on circa 5.6% yields," selling agent Adam Thomas said.
"These investments continue to be highly sought after due to the long secure leases to national tenants and are underpinned by the high underling land value coupled with the inherent value of the business.” 
The 461-463 Bluff Road, Hampton site (above) is leased for 15 years to Only About Children (OAC) till 2030, with three 10-year options.

The rent is $224,985 per annum and there is a fixed annual 3% rent increase.
The tenant pays all usual outgoings.
The main road site is spread over 1,149 square metres with a 34-metre frontage and is licensed for 56 long day care (LDC) places.
The location is just 14 km from the Melbourne CBD and minutes to Beach Road and the Nepean Hwy.
It was extensively redeveloped in 2015, providing for income tax saving depreciation.
The Heatherton property sits at 16-20 Arco Lane and is leased to G8 Education Limited.
It is a new 10-year lease to 2025 with two further five-year options to 2035.

Two childcare centres see strong bidding at Burgess Rawson auction 

<html><body>
Three service stations in the NSW localities of Gundagai, Wyong and Salt Ash went under the hammer at Burgess Rawson's 100th portfolio auction. 
The one at 11 Dog on the Tucker Box Road (Hume Highway) Gundagai (above) , anchored by Shell-Coles Express, fetched $7.71 million.
The 14.94 hectare site with a major truckstop facility comes with an abundance of customer parking and bus/truck access.
A KFC, Subway, a 24-hour diner and cafe make up the rest of the property.
It earns a net $646,095 pa, with the Shell-Coles station making up nearly 48% of it.
At the winning bid, the yield works out to about 8.3%.
The selling agent was Rhys Parker.
The Salt Ash centre at 2893 Nelson Bay Road is leased out to the ASX-listed Caltex and fetched $4.7 million at the auction. 
Built in 2012/2013, it is currently on a 10-year lease to 2024, with options until 2039.
The site is spread over 2,164 square metres. 
The estimated net income is $275,858 pa + GST (Sept 2015), translating to a yield of about 5.9%.
The location is on the main road and has a traffic volume of 22,800 cars per day.
The Wyong station at 140 Pacific Highway fetched $1.25 million.
It is leased out to Westside Petrol for a 10-year period to 2025 with 3 x 10 year options.
The service station is a single tenant investment and earns a net estimated $87,964 annually, giving a yield of about 7%. 
There is a fixed 3% rental increase.
The tenant pays the outgoings (excluding land tax).
Wyong has a population of 154,976 people, which is expected to rise to 220,000 by 2031 and is less than 90 minutes from Sydney.
Both the Wyong and Salt Ash properties were sold by Rhys Parker and Darren Beehag. 
Commercial properties such as service stations are a big draw with investors because of a number of factors. The initial investment in a commercial property may be higher, but so are the returns, according to a blog on Burgess Rawson's website.
Also, major players as tenants means they take care of the outgoing payments, against residential property where the costs are borne by the landlord.
Beginning in 1975, Burgess Rawson established a nationwide network of offices and is Australia's largest locally owned and operated commercial property agency, marketing more than 10,000 properties and generating sales in excess of $25 billion over the past 40 years.

Ormond retail and office property to go under the hammer

<html><body>
Seven individual Metro Petroleum service stations spread across NSW, VIC and QLD are headed to auction, at the same Sydney in-rooms event.   Sites at Broken Hill and Cootamundra in NSW, Bonnie Doon, Rutherglen, Cann River, Great Western in VIC and Texas in QLD are all going to be under the hammer on May 16.   The sites are marketed by Ray White Commercial NSW Director Michael Ajaka, Commercial VIC Director Paul Waterhouse and Commercial QLD Director John Dwyer.   Mr Ajaka said the portfolio of service stations, currently head-leased to Dib Group (trading as Metro Petroleum and a Shell service station at Cann River), offered investors exceptional opportunities to purchase premium investment properties.   “'Metro Petroleum' is a major petroleum brand with approximately 250 service stations and convenience stores across Australia’s east coast, including Western Australia and South Australia,” he said.

“Servicing a large base of wholesale customers nationwide, it makes the company one of Australia’s largest independent service station franchises.   “Service stations really are a solid investment and banks are still financing investors to buy them, which makes them particularly appealing in the current market.   “The operators have good sustainable businesses such as the fuel sales, convenience stores, and with some having cafes they also run on-site.   “These opportunities will appeal to a number of people, from mum and dad investors as part of their superfund portfolios, to high net-worth individuals with interest expected to come from locals, nationals and offshore investors   “Leases on the sites run until 2028, 2029, 2030 with options, with an annual rent increase of CPI as per lease, and tenants paying outgoings as per lease (excluding land tax and building insurance).'"

A 94-year old local newsagency in the Southern Highlands town of Bowral has sold under the hammer at Burgess Rawson’s  Sydney Portfolio Auction for $2.88 million on a net yield of 4.1%.
The freehold property at <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-retail-nsw-bowral-502577690" target="_blank">313 – 317 Bong Bong Street</a> is in the heart of Bowral’s bustling retail precinct.
It was listed for the first time in nearly a century.
It is on a short term lease to Cameron’s Newsagency and currently produces a net income of $118,115 per annum.
The auction was on October 31. The newsagency was one of 12 assets to go under the hammer at Burgess Rawson’s Sydney portfolio auction.
The selling agents were Simon Staddon and Sam Horwitz of Burgess Rawson.
Staddon said the 470 square metre land area offers future development potential.
“Bowral just 1.5 hrs drive south of Sydney is a vibrant town with an affluent demographic of long-standing residents and an increasing number of empty nesters from areas like Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, which has led to a thriving commercial precinct with little to no retail vacancy,” he said.

An Abbotsford site, currently home to a former National Bank building, has been listed with expectations of more than $3 million.
The <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-retail-vic-abbotsford-502597338" target="_blank">261 Victoria Street</a> property comprises a 540 sqm Italianate palazzo style building over two levels on a Commercial 1 zoned site.
According to Teska Carson’s Michael Taylor, who is marketing the property with colleague Fergus Evans, the land at the rear of the building has potential for development.
“The property presents as a great opportunity to capitalise on the very strong demand for new development in Abbotsford. This would potentially involve subdividing the land and developing the rear hardstand component whilst perhaps retaining and/or expanding on current uses over what is a very attractive and presentable commercial building on Victoria Street.”
He said Abbotsford was undergoing gentrification in response to demand, particularly from the residential market, with a large number of new mixed-use developments completed in the immediate vicinity of the property.
The building has been maintained and refurbished over the years and comprises a number of partitioned offices that could easily be adapted to suit various uses.

It is a standalone building that has recently undergone cosmetic upgrades, and future tenant works are estimated at $4 million.

The two-level building, constructed in 1994, was purpose-built for a technology company.
Colliers International’s Matthew Winter, who is the listing agent, said the 5,256 sqm corner site "presents purchasers with an outstanding long-term proposition.”
“The property lies within the East Lake Precinct which is currently under investigation by the ACT Government for future re-zoning to encourage urban infill via residential development,” said Matthew.
