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.

A Victorian warehouse is soon to go under the hammer through Colliers International.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property/79-83-abercrombie-st-chippendale-nsw-2008" target="_blank">79-83 Abercrombie Street</a> property in Chippendale is a three-story warehouse. 
The inner-city suburb of Chippendale is witnessing a growing trend with its industrial buildings being brought back to life. Old warehouses are being converted for creative commercial use, student accommodation and residential, leveraging off the increased expenditure from institutions such as UTS, Sydney University and Notre Dame, noted Colliers.
The listing agents are Miron Solomons and Matt Pontey of Colliers International.
The Abercrombie Street property has a colourful history, previously housing  J.C. Goodwin &amp; Co, glass importers, bevellers and silverers who were first established in the area in 1875. 
“The firm started at 79-83 Abercrombie Street and by the 1930’s had expanded to four factories in Myrtle Street. The building to this day, retains its local significance with the facade emblazoned with the company’s name,” said Miron Solomons.
The property was recently restored and sits on 393 sqm of land on the corner of Abercrombie Street and Myrtle Street. 
Boasting high ceilings and exposed timbers, the building is a throwback to Chippendale’s past.
The influx of new mixed use project in the nearby Central Park development has seen an increasing push in the surrounding area for Chippendale’s industrial warehouse past to be transformed to alternate uses.
“Chippendale is now at the forefront of being Sydney’s SOHO, south of the Sydney CBD this suburb is on the path to being one of Sydney’s most hotly contested locations,” said Matt Pontey.
“79-83 Abercrombie Street exudes New York loft style with exposed timber beams and an enviable ceiling height, abundant parking and loading dock, the building is a special piece of history that should not be overlooked.”
He said Colliers was witnessing a huge demand in the city fringe for creative office space conversions, as emphasized by the recent purchase of a Chippendale warehouse at 14-16 Buckland Street for $11.25m to UTS.
The property sold in 2001 for $2,120,000, according to CoreLogic data.

A freehold building on Sydney’s Bondi Beach is set to go under the hammer on August 17, making it the third iconic site on the famous beachfront to go to the market in the last 12 months. 
The <a href="https://www.domain.com.au/property-profile/134-138-campbell-parade-bondi-beach-nsw-2026" target="_blank">134-138 Campbell Parade</a> property earns a net income of more than $500,000 per annum.
Listing agent Miron Solomons of Colliers International, who is marketing the property along with and Matt Pontey, said they were expecting this to be the “biggest auction of the year – there will be some serious heavy hitters present”. 
Market chatter suggests price expectations of about $20 million.
This sale comes to market following two highly successful campaigns of neighbouring assets; Bates Milk Bar at 124 Campbell Parade in September 2016, and 128-132 Campbell Parade in May this year, with the latter breaking the Australian record for the highest price paid per metre for land, according to a media release from Colliers.
The 1951 Bates Milk Bar, one of Bondi Beach's most iconic retail premises, sold for $19.12 million last year to developers of the Pacific Bondi, Rebel Property Group's Allen Linz, Capit.el Group's Eduard Litver along with Gil Baron.
The milk bar was known for its choc-malt milkshakes until its closure in 2001.
“It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity – three buildings in this location, on the Bondi beach front with uninterrupted views – coming to market within 12 months is unheard of. These assets are typically held by local families for 50-60 years each,” added Solomons.
There are also two retail tenancies currently within the building. The current ground floor tenants are Ben and Jerry’s and Ezymart in addition to eight residential units above, said Pontey, adding that they were expecting keen interest from developers and investors due to the flexible mixed use zoning.
“These are solid, diverse income streams with significant development potential that are attracting international interest.”
Solomons says the interest in the past two Bondi sites indicates there is still plenty of appetite for Sydney’s top end ‘trophy’ market.
“Any talk in the media of a downturn in the market has not jilted the momentum for the last two campaigns – we aren’t seeing any negative effects in the trophy, high-end of the market.”

Two corner retail assets at the Paris End of the Melbourne CBD have sold under the hammer to two separate foreign buyers last week, underpinning the demand for central-city trophy assets.
The ground and basement levels of 118 Russell Street are leased and fetched $4.95 million combined, according to Colliers International, which handled the auction campaign.
Award-winning bakery café Brioche By Philip occupies the ground-level tenancy of the iconic Fender Katsilidis-designed Hero building, while pilates and barre gym S3 Studio occupies the basement. 
The selling agents were Colliers International’s Oliver Hay, David Sia and Daniel Wolman.
“At the Paris End of the CBD on a highly visible corner, they are considered real trophy investments. It is becoming increasingly evident that the market is prepared to compromise on yield for the enjoyment and status of a premium CBD asset,” said Hay.
A Chinese investor won the basement level for $3.2 million, setting a record yield of 5.12 percent for basement strata retail assets in the city, according to a media release. 
The ground floor was secured by an offshore investor for $1.75 million resulting in a yield of 3.56 percent. 
Hay said both floors had high-quality fitouts, which would provide the buyers with long-term depreciation tax benefits.
“With the tenancies taking a combined rent total of $226,167 per annum, plus GST and outgoings, the return on investment is unquestionable,” he said.
Brioche By Philip, which has won awards for the best bakery and best sourdough bread in Melbourne, has committed to seven years while S3 Studio has signed a three-year lease, starting in 2015 with three further options to renew.
Sia said the location, within “a stone’s throw” of Melbourne landmarks like Chinatown, high-end Collins Street boutiques and popular bars and eateries, was the key selling point.

A prominent motor dealership in Tweed Heads town centre precinct is being offered at auction on June 14.
The 153 Wharf Street property offers a high-profile tenant in Sharp Motor Group that sells brands like Kia, Honda, Holden, HSV and Suzuki.
The listing agents are Steve Clark and Kyle Youngson of Colliers International. 
Youngson said the property was developed in 2004 by Expo Park Properties linked to Warren von Bibra, who operated the dealership as von Bibra Twin Towns Auto Village, prior to Sharp Motor Group taking over the business in 2011.
Warren von Bibra is a well-known figure in car dealerships. 
“It’s in the bustling heart of the Tweed Heads commercial and retail precinct,” Youngson said of the location.
The property is surrounded by the Tweed Mall, Tweed Heads Public Hospital and Twin Towns RSL Club.
Local and state government statistics showed over 26,000 cars use Wharf Street daily, added Clark.
He said population growth in Tweed Heads Shire was projected to grow from the 2017 forecast of 92,000 to over 125,000 in 2036.
“That’s a 36 per cent population increase just in the Tweed Shire alone,” he said.
“We expect strong interest given continued tightening yields in the southern markets and a strong appetite for automotive investments, especially with future development upside.” 
Sharp Motor Group has taken on a new eight-year lease plus options. The property returns about  $708,000 net pa after outgoings. 
The property has about 3,919 sqm of building and sits on a 9,880 sqm parcel of land combining new and used sales showroom, offices, servicing workshop, vehicle display yard and rooftop parking area. 
There is future development potential as well, due to the B4 Mixed Use zoning, which allows for a mixed use high-rise. 
“That could translate into a mixed-use development with street-level retail and commercial outlets topped by residential development,” he said.
