<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/draycon">Draycon Building</a> is nearing completion of Boutique Chevron Island, a 42-apartment development on the northern end of Chevron Island at 17–19 Parneno Street, with a limited-time offer of fully furnished apartments available.

Now more than 90 per cent complete, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/boutique-chevron-island-17-19-parneno-chevron-island-qld-4217">Boutique</a> has been shaped by one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held island addresses, where riverfront outlooks and walkable access to Surfers Paradise converge.

For Draycon Building Managing Director Howard Dabit, the appeal of the site was immediate.

“I knew it was a good site as soon as I saw it,” Dabit said.

“The position and location on the north end of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>, the way the river swirls around the site basically from the north to the east, it feels like the site is surrounded by the water. The height that we’ve got and the aspect looking north is beautiful. Eighty per cent of the apartments are looking north so they get that drenching sunlight coming in.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360922]

That northern orientation places the development within a stretch of Chevron Island defined by open river aspects and skyline views, while remaining embedded in the suburb’s established village setting.

Chevron Island has increasingly drawn owner-occupiers seeking centrality without the intensity of high-rise beachfront living. Positioned at the geographical centre of the Gold Coast, the island offers direct access to both the beach and key cultural infrastructure while retaining a neighbourhood-scale character.

Connected by bridge to Surfers Paradise, Chevron Island offers walkable access to beaches, riverfront parklands and a revitalised foreshore boulevard animated by walkers and cyclists throughout the day. The Pacific Ocean is only minutes away, reinforcing the suburb’s dual river-and-surf identity.

At the same time, Thomas Drive forms the spine of the island’s village life, delivering cafés, wine bars, casual dining and everyday services within easy reach. Independent grocers, wellness operators and neighbourhood retailers contribute to a community atmosphere that remains distinct from the vertical scale of the beachfront.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360915]

In the opposite direction, the Green Bridge links directly to HOTA – Home of the Arts – placing galleries, performance venues and parklands within walking distance. Weekly markets and major exhibitions draw visitors from across the region, while residents return to a quieter residential pocket at day’s end.

Public transport, including nearby bus routes and the G:link light rail corridor along the coastal spine, strengthens connectivity north and south. Griffith University, the Gold Coast University Hospital precinct and established private schools such as The Southport School are all within a short drive.

Ongoing investment across Surfers Paradise, HOTA and the broader Southport corridor has elevated amenity while preserving Chevron Island’s comparatively low-rise residential character. It is this balance, walkable village atmosphere paired with metropolitan-scale infrastructure, that continues to differentiate the suburb from higher-density beachfront precincts.

Boutique comprises just 42 residences, designed to maximise river and skyline outlooks within this tightly held island setting.

Boutique Chevron Island is slated for completion in April 2026, with prices starting from $1,220,000.

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> has secured planning approval for a $300 million residential development in Lindfield, marking the company’s second project on Sydney’s North Shore and its first on the Upper North Shore.

Located on Beaconsfield Parade and designed by DKO Architecture, the state significant development comprises three buildings of up to 10 storeys and will include 399 residences, including 59 affordable homes and 40 adaptable homes.

Residences will range in size from one, two and three bedrooms, with two-bedroom apartments accounting for over 60 per cent of the product make-up. Residents will have access to a broad suite of amenities, including a wellness area, indoor and outdoor recreational spaces, a pool, a gym, a community room and a golf simulator.

In line with Deicorp’s long-standing focus on creating transit-oriented communities, the project is located just 260 metres from the Lindfield Train Station, reinforcing its role in delivering well-connected housing close to established infrastructure, retail and local services.

The inclusion of affordable and adaptable housing supports greater diversity within the local market, while the mix of apartment types responds to demand from downsizers, young professionals and families seeking access to the Upper North Shore.

Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri OAM said the approval represents an important milestone for both the company and the suburb

“This approval allows us to deliver well-designed homes in a location that is already supported by strong transport and community infrastructure," Deiri said.

"Our focus is on creating places that integrate into their surroundings and provide long-term value for residents, and the broader Lindfield community. Being within walking distance of the station ensures this project supports sustainable growth in the right locations."

Across its portfolio, Deicorp currently has 4,703 apartments under construction, playing a leading role in shaping connected, liveable communities across Sydney.

Its expanding portfolio of Metro-linked developments includes Tallawong Village, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-five-dock-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> in Five Dock, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hyde-metropolitan-sydney-133-141-liverpool-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Hyde Metropolitan</a> in Sydney CBD, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/falcon-alexander-crows-nest-8-alexander-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Falcon &amp; Alexander</a> in Crows Nest and Showground Village, Castle Hill.

Deicorp purchased the Beaconsfield Paradise site last year. Construction is scheduled to commence in Q2 of 2026 and will be completed in 2029.

In a joint venture with The Trump Organization, Australia developer Altus Property Group has announced plans to bring a Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower to the Gold Coast, marking the first Trump-branded project in Australia.

"Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast is our first official project in Australia and reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering world-class luxury experiences in iconic locations around the world," Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, said.

"This development exemplifies the Trump brand’s dedication to quality, sophistication, and unmatched service, and we are thrilled to bring this vision to the vibrant Gold Coast community."

The 91-storey building, which will become the tallest in Australia at 335 metres, will feature a&nbsp;285-room luxury hotel bearing the trademark Trump logo. It will also include 272 luxury residential apartments, a three-level podium with an exclusive Beach Club, and over 3,400 sqm of premium commercial, retail, and dining space, revitalizing the central Surfers Paradise precinct.

“Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast will be a truly unique offering in the Australian market, bringing the prestige and allure of a world-class luxury brand,"&nbsp;Altus founder and chief executive David Young said.

"Altus Property Group is proud of its track record in delivering landmark developments across Australia, and our expertise ensures this project will be an outstanding success."

Trump Hotel heads for the Gold Coast to become Australia's tallest building

More than a century after the Corrimal Coke Works first opened in 1912, the industrial landmark that helped shape the suburb is being reinterpreted as a walkable residential neighbourhood, with Stage One of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-works-stage-one-27-railway-street-corrimal-nsw-2518">The Works</a> now underway at 27 Railway Street.

For 102 years, the site was central to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/corrimal-nsw-2518">Corrimal</a>’s economic and social identity before operations ceased in 2014. Rather than erasing that legacy, developer Legacy Property has embedded it into the masterplan, retaining and reinterpreting elements such as the iconic 1912 brick chimney and sections of the original C1 Coke Oven Battery, alongside the adaptive reuse of the former powerhouse building.

Stage One will introduce 181 apartments across low-rise buildings, offering predominantly two and three-bedroom residences with completion targeted for mid-2027. The scale and configuration reflect a deliberate focus on owner-occupiers, targeting those seeking a lower-maintenance home in a prime location within the northern suburbs of Wollongong.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359833]

Apartments have been designed to maximise natural light and cross-ventilation, with floor-to-ceiling glazing extending living areas onto generous balconies. Engineered timber flooring, induction cooktops and 900mm ovens in larger residences support everyday functionality, while two interior palettes allow buyers to tailor finishes to their preferences. The material selection draws on a restrained coastal language, intended to connect homes to their surroundings rather than compete with them.

The Works forms part of a broader 18-hectare masterplan that will ultimately deliver around 550 dwellings, new parks, and a heritage precinct celebrating the site’s past. More than seven hectares are dedicated to open space, including Southern Park and a Village Green with community gardens and recreation areas. The creek corridor is being rehabilitated with 150,000 native plantings, restoring biodiversity to the site and softening landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359841]

Positioned adjacent to Corrimal Station and within walking distance of Corrimal Town Centre, the precinct places daily essentials, rail connections and local retail within easy reach. Wollongong CBD, including the hospital, university and entertainment venues, sits approximately 6.5 kilometres to the south.

For buyers more familiar with North Wollongong, Corrimal offers a different proposition: a well-established coastal suburb framed by beaches to the east and the escarpment to the west, with a strong sense of local identity shaped in part by the former Coke Works. The Works seeks to reinforce that identity by creating a connected, walkable neighbourhood between coast and escarpment, rather than a standalone apartment complex.

Sustainability underpins the development approach. The Works is targeting Wollongong’s first 5-Star Green Star-rated community, with water-sensitive urban design, recycled materials and energy-efficient buildings integrated across the masterplan. For residents, these measures provide not only environmental benefits but also reduced operational costs and future resilience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359842]

With construction commenced and display materials available to view, prospective buyers can now engage more directly with the project’s vision, reviewing floorplans, material selections and the broader masterplan in detail. For many local homeowners weighing a move, the opportunity to experience how heritage, landscape and contemporary design intersect may help bridge the gap between familiarity and the next chapter.

As Stage One progresses toward its mid-2027 completion, The Works represents a significant chapter in Corrimal’s evolution, transforming a site that once powered local industry into a walkable residential precinct designed for its next generation of residents.

When it comes to developing in Melb​ourne's Bayside region, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lowe-living">Lowe Living</a> knows exactly what buyers want.

With a longstanding presence in the area and a string of sell-out projects, Lowe Living consistently delivers developments that are as sought-after as their predecessors.

Their latest instalment is in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-vic-3188">Hampton</a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-east-vic-3188">&nbsp;East,</a> the same postcode where they have previously delivered Hampton Hill and Oceano. The developer-builder recently commenced construction on its newest project,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marella-hampton-31-35-alicia-street-hampton-east-vic-3188">Marella</a>, a collection of 32 apartments just five minutes from the beach.

Site acquisition is paramount to success. Lowe Living rarely brings a building to market that isn’t within walking distance of essential amenities, whether it be the beach, a prominent retail strip, or a train station. Marella is no exception, located at its Alicia Street address, less than a kilometre from the retail heart of Hampton Street and Hampton Station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358495]

Equally important to Lowe Living is the architecture.

For Marella, they appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, who explains that the architectural vision was to create a contemporary reinterpretation of the Californian bungalow, a style that’s iconic to Hampton’s heritage.

"By borrowing, abstracting, and reinterpreting elements of this quintessential style, such as strong datum lines, articulated columns, exposed structures, and roof tiles, our design strikes a balance between modernity and familiarity," says Cera Stribley.

"This approach ensures that the development is not only visually appealing but also contextually sensitive, resonating with Hampton's existing architectural landscape."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358499]

The building features terracotta brick, soft cream masonry, and exposed metal detailing, giving it a tactile presence that is intended to weather gently over time.

Internally, the focus on lasting quality continues, with two and three-bedroom residences anchored by sculptural stone kitchen islands, natural light, and clearly defined transitions between living, dining, and outdoor spaces.

The layouts have been carefully designed. Open-plan zones extend to private balconies, with light-filled interiors and generous kitchen proportions, supported by Miele wall ovens, induction cooktops, and integrated fridge-freezers. These are not small apartments rebranded as luxury; they have been designed at scale, with ample storage, hotel-style entry access, and secure basement parking provided as standard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358492]

At the uppermost level, Marella’s Signature Collection penthouses offer city or bay views, large entertaining terraces (some with outdoor spas), and elevated finishes, including fully wrapped stone kitchen benches and a Liebherr wine fridge.

Flexible room arrangements allow for a fourth bedroom or secondary living space, sought-after by both empty nesters who want the space when family visits and families with older children.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358498]

A residents’ lounge on the ground floor reinforces the project’s small-community feel. With a fireplace, private dining area, and adjoining terrace, it’s one of several shared spaces that balance amenity with privacy and scale.

Construction has commenced, with completion expected in early 2027.

Darling Point

Apartments at the recently launch MONA development in Darling Point almost never existed.

The prominent eastern suburbs developer Fortis&nbsp;initially planned a commercial building on the Mona Road address, before pivoting the design to create a luxury apartment project.

And its recent launch showed two things; the demand for luxury apartments in Sydney&#39;s East is still firing on all cylinders despite a cooling property market, and the agileness of the Fortis team to change their strategy based on what the market is doing.

Fortis Director Charles Mellick says the team analyzed current market trends and the demand for luxury residential apartments, and that, paired with the 180 degree city and harbour views and accessibility to local amenity, made the location the perfect place for high-end city fringe living.

So they called MHNDU back in to amend the plans to incorporate just 24 one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108913 project_image_fid=197636]

The change in direction paid off in spades at the recent launch, with CBRE securing sales of over 60 per cent of the building, including the $13.75 million, two-level penthouse.

Mellick says the&nbsp;Darling Point location provides a previously unseen opportunity for buyers with direct access not only to the harbour foreshore, but also to the city and surrounding villages.

&quot;This location has an array of unrivalled connectivity from walkability to a range of transport options and access to driving routes to connect to the rest of Sydney seamlessly.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108913 project_image_fid=197639]

Mellick calls Darling Point the gateway to the East, at the nexus of Edgecliff, Woollahra, Double Bay and Potts Point.

&quot;This location benefits from its nearby neighbouring suburbs giving the best of both worlds - an energetic urban local energy (Potts Point) and Australia&rsquo;s most luxurious offerings (Woollahra and Double Bay) with the commercial convenience and easy access to Bondi Junction and the City.

&quot;Rushcutters Bay Park and Marina create a great local amenity for locals and visitors alike.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108913 project_image_fid=197652]

The new MHNDU plans retained the ground level retail, which Mellick says will home a &quot;sophisticated and experienced food and beverage tenant&quot;, something Fortis has successfully achieved previously in Double Bay, where they brought celebrity chef Neil Perry to their HQ at the base of Pallas House on the exclusive Bay Street.

Mellick says so far there&#39;s been a mix of owner-occupiers and downsizers who have come from the Eastern Suburbs (Elizabeth Bay, Bellevue Hill, Rose Bay) looking at the two&nbsp;and three-bedroom residences, as well as a number of&nbsp;owner-occupiers coming from the Lower-North Shore (Killara and Linfield) as well as the Inner-West.

Why Fortis chose apartments over office space in Darling Point

The national property developer Fortis has seen a flurry of sales at the recent launch of its luxury Darling Point apartment project, MONA.

Some 60 per cent of the apartments on offer sold, with CBRE&#39;s&nbsp;Premium Sales division head Ben Stewart noting the two and three-bedroom apartments sold&nbsp;well.

&quot;Our team are feeling very encouraged by the initial lot of sales achieved,&quot; Stewart says, adding that there&#39;s still a very good selection of stock remaining.

The two-level penthouse, with 253 sqm of internal space as well as its own rooftop terrace and swimming pool, was sold even before the recent launch event. It was bought by property developer Michael Barakat for $13.75 million, a sale reflecting $55,000 per sqm. There was also a $7.8 million sales to a local downsizer.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108913 project_image_fid=197634]

MONA, named after its location on Mona Road, one of Darling Point&#39;s best streets, has been designed by&nbsp;MHNDU to blend old-world charm with New York chic.

Stewart said the one and two-bedroom apartments are garnering a lot of enquiry from parents assisting their children.

&quot;It&rsquo;s a great way of getting them into forced saving for a long-term asset,&quot; Stewart suggested.

&quot;MONA has already started to attract this type of buyer because of its location, as well as being a striking looking development that will prove to be a great short to long term investment.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108913 project_image_fid=197639]

Fortis Director Charles Mellick said there has been&nbsp;a mix of owner-occupiers and downsizers who have come from the Eastern Suburbs (Elizabeth Bay, Bellevue Hill, Rose Bay) looking at the two- and three- bedroom residences, with many owner-occupiers coming from the Lower-North Shore (Killara and Linfield) as well as the Inner-West.

Initially Fortis had earmarked&nbsp;the site for a commercial project and ground-floor retail, but Mellick said the&nbsp;current market demand and limited supply for residential is so strong, that with the 180 degree city and harbour views and accessibility to local amenity this really made the location the perfect place for high-end city fringe living.

&quot;Something that is hard to come by and that result is clear with the high demand on sales and response on our sales launch weekend.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108913 project_image_fid=197650]

The creative inspiration for MONA comes from the history-steeped harbourside corridor it overlooks. The design by MHNDU pays deep respect to the architectural details of the original brick apartment buildings and the bustling inner-city neighbourhood.

The &lsquo;blade edge&rsquo; form of the residential tower delivers a boldly modern street presence, complemented by a north-facing glazed fa&ccedil;ade and rooftop sky terrace with unobstructed views.

Fortis secure sales flurry at MONA, Darling Point

Following their recent acquisition of 1 Mona Road in Sydney&#39;s&nbsp;Darling Point, the developer Fortis has lodged plans with Woollahra Council for a premium mixed-use development with residential and retail offerings.&nbsp;

Fortis had been looking at creating a commercial development, but have pivoted given the increased&nbsp;demand for luxury apartments in Sydney&rsquo;s east.

Charles Mellick, a director at Fortis, said the team have&nbsp;seen significant demand for well-appointed boutique apartments in Sydney&rsquo;s east in the last year,

&quot;Existing developments in these suburbs have sold out in record time,&quot; Mellick noted.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108913 project_image_fid=197649]

&quot;The plans for this site in Darling Point have been updated in response to this demand.

&quot;This mixed-use development in Darling Point has an expected end value of $90 million, and we are excited to deliver this to the market in the near future.

Fortis will have the award-winning architects MHNDU work with acclaimed interior designers Richards Stanisich to create the apartments, which will feature lush planting palette by Wyer &amp; Co.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108913 project_image_fid=197633]

There will be six level of apartments, a combination of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as ground floor retail and commercial space.&nbsp;

All apartments will include external terraces or balconies, with select apartments capturing views across the city, harbour, nearby Paddington and surrounds.&nbsp;

Fortis expect to commence construction by the end of 2021, following development approval.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108913 project_image_fid=197634]

Fortis spent $17.5 million on the 1,267 sqm city-fringe site last year.

Pallas Group is the parent company of structured property investment arranger Pallas Capital and boutique developer Fortis.

The expected end value of Fortis&rsquo; Sydney projects currently under construction or under a planning proposal is $1.25 billion, with a further $1 billion pipeline of work in Melbourne.
