Perth’s new apartment market recorded its strongest quarter of sales since Q4 2021, with 412 apartments sold in Q1 2026 and a record quarterly sold value of $537 million, according to Urbis’ latest Apartment Essentials results.

Urbis said the March quarter result reflects strong, highly product‑specific demand across both ends of the market, from more attainable projects delivering at scale, through to premium stock being absorbed by equity‑rich downsizers.&nbsp;

David Cresp, Partner at Urbis, said the key story in Perth is not demand, it is the market’s ability to convert demand into delivered housing.&nbsp;

“This is the strongest sales quarter since Q4 2021, and it reinforces that demand in Perth is real and it’s local,” David Cresp said. “But the task now is delivery, turning that demand into projects that can actually be built and completed.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=302785]

<h2>Affordable product leads, premium demand remains resilient</h2>

Sales in Q1 were led by more affordable projects, with The Boulevard (SKS Group) recording 115 sales in the quarter, the presentation noting this is only the second time a single project has surpassed 100 quarterly sales. The project was able to offer more affordable housing product right next to a train station.&nbsp;

Palmyra West (Finbar) also delivered strong results with 28 sales in Q1, following 84 sales in Q4, with an average price of under $800,000, underscoring depth of demand for well‑located, attainable new stock.&nbsp;

At the premium end, Urbis said downsizer demand is continuing, with the results highlighting Romeo (Applecross, Finbar) recording 75 sales and reaching almost 50% sold in one quarter.

Jual (Shenton Park, Celsius Property) also posted a strong quarter with 28 sales, reaching 39% sold in one quarter.

Urbis noted that Perth apartment demand is not speculative, not investor‑led, and not uniform, describing it as localised, often equity‑driven and highly product‑specific, a pattern reflected in the polarisation between strong “attainable” performers and premium downsizer product.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148957 project_image_fid=364102]

<h2>Prices underpinned by costs, and the delivery risk is growing</h2>

Urbis said pricing pressure is cost not demand‑driven: construction costs and delivery risk are now a central constraint, with the results noting build costs remain elevated and volatile, and that energy, fuel and labour uncertainty weigh on feasibility.

David Cresp said a growing challenge for private Build‑to‑Sell developers is simply securing a builder in the current environment.

“Developers are really feeling the pressure from a building market that was operating at capacity and securing a builder is challenging,” David Cresp said, adding that even where a builder can be secured, “trying to get to the price that makes the development financially viable is incredibly challenging in the current market.”&nbsp;

Urbis’ broader WA commentary also notes that industry remains at or above capacity with lot and housing creation, and that many builders are limiting new sales to manage stretched workforces and fixed‑price contract pressures, conditions that flow directly into apartment feasibility and delivery timing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108869 project_image_fid=317905]

<h2>Supply: improving later, but still constrained, and Perth lags eastern benchmarks</h2>

While near‑term supply remains constrained, Urbis’ forecast shows completions lifting “Supply is forecast to be back above 1,500 apartments per annum for the first time since 2019”, with 1,775 completions forecast for 2026, and volumes remaining above that level over the following years.&nbsp;

Looking further ahead, completions are forecast to reach 2,500 in 2028, with the report noting 32% of that total is social/affordable, reflecting the role of government‑supported delivery in rebuilding the pipeline.&nbsp;

However, Urbis said Perth remains behind comparable markets on pipeline scale. In a national comparison of projects under construction, the report shows under construction Perth Build‑to‑Sell (BTS) at 3,446 apartments versus the Gold Coast at 7,922. Mr Cresp said “The challenge for Perth is how to we grow the delivery pipeline”.

Urbis’ conclusion is that Perth’s market is increasingly defined by product discipline and delivery certainty, with the research identifying “delivery certainty is key” and calling out builder risk and procurement models as core success factors, alongside “timing and staging”.&nbsp;

Perth apartment sales hit strongest pace since late 2021 as builder capacity tightens

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sammut-developments">Sammut Group</a> has secured development approval for its latest Brisbane apartment project, marking the Sydney developer’s next step in expanding its Queensland pipeline following the success of its debut Gold Coast development, Coast.

The approved project at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/44-glen-road-toowong-qld-4066">44 Glen Road, </a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a> will deliver a 15-storey riverfront apartment building with 42 residences, significantly increasing the scale of the site’s previous approval for a smaller luxury scheme. Designed by Bureau^proberts, the development will comprise a mix of predominantly four-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments positioned to maximise Brisbane River and city views.

Sammut Director Julian Sammut said the group had been actively searching Brisbane for several years before identifying Toowong as the right fit.

“Brisbane was the right step for Sammut,” Sammut said.

“With the success of Coast we thought we should definitely look to do more in Queensland alone. We then pushed up to look at Brisbane. We've been looking for I'd say two to three years actually and it was hard to find the right location.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.14%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dYAVIL7qdcGA8ojvkslSrLjczXFejSSx" />

Sammut said suburbs including New Farm and Teneriffe were considered before the group ultimately focused on Toowong due to its strong downsizer demographic and limited supply of developable riverfront land.

The site was acquired off-market after what Sammut described as a lengthy negotiation and planning process, with the developer pursuing an uplift to the original approval.

“We are DA approved now which is very exciting,” Sammut said.

“We've had our change approval come through and we've obviously doubled the height, 15 storeys plus rooftop. We've got 42 amazing apartments that are going to be coming to market soon.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ohkRkY0dIZlqdfME2EZePsCQavRiBadE" />

Bureau^proberts said the design responds to Toowong’s evolving urban character, balancing contemporary apartment living with the area’s established residential identity.

“A place where traditional Queensland living has taken place for centuries; Toowong is seeing a shift of contemporary influence, commercial and retail hubs mixed with well-considered residential offerings – all the while maintaining its character and charm,” the architect noted in planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council.

The architecture practice said the project’s form was shaped by its riverfront setting, flood considerations, neighbouring building scales, and view corridors.

“They said the mix of four and two-bedroom apartments capture the ‘fundamental qualities of Queenslander living,’ translated into the context of a contemporary subtropical building.”

The development sits just off Coronation Drive within walking distance of Toowong’s retail precinct and the upgraded Regatta ferry terminal, while also benefiting from proximity to the incoming green bridge connection to West End. Sammut said the accessibility and amenity offering were central to the site’s appeal.

The approval adds to growing residential activity along the Toowong riverfront, joining nearby projects including Consolidated Properties’ Monarch Residences and Spyre Group’s ARC Residences.

Sammut secures approval for debut Brisbane apartment development in Toowong

Developer Lanevick is heading back into Sydney’s apartment market after focusing more heavily on the luxury townhouse and terrace sector in recent years.

Lanevick, founded and directed by Steve Maroun, is expecting to receive approval in the coming months for a new apartment development in Gladesville, with the aim to launch it to the market later this year.

The 51-apartment project, designed by Studio Johnston, will comprise a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments positioned toward the Hunters Hill downsizer market.

“Traditionally it’s been difficult for people in that market to downsize because there just hasn’t been the right product available,” Maroun said.

“We’re targeting buyers who might have 30 to 40 per cent of their house value sitting in the bank after downsizing.

“They still want good spacious entertaining areas, they still want quality design, but they also want flexibility and the ability to enjoy life a bit more after working hard for a long time.”

The project sits near Boronia Park and within close proximity to the Parramatta River foreshore, an area Maroun says offers more of a Hunters Hill lifestyle than a traditional apartment precinct.

“From a lifestyle perspective, it’s really more Hunters Hill than Gladesville,” Maroun said. “You’re close to the foreshore, close to parklands, and still connected back into the village precinct.”

From level four and above, apartments will capture water views&nbsp;toward Sydney Harbour. Communal amenity will include rooftop entertaining areas, wellness spaces, and a gym tailored toward owner-occupier buyers.

“We’ve really designed these apartments around that buyer coming from the Hunters Hill LGA and what they’re actually looking for in their next chapter.”

The proposed development has also been designed to respond to the changing character of the broader Gladesville town centre, where a growing number of mixed-use and residential proposals are expected to emerge over the coming years.

“Gladesville presented a rare opportunity to deliver a genuinely design-led residential project within an evolving lifestyle precinct, just moments from the growing Gladesville town centre, and we’ve approached the project with a strong focus on architecture, liveability and long-term community value,” Maroun said.

Maroun said Lanevick saw a first-mover advantage within the precinct as planning controls continue to evolve to accommodate greater housing density.

“We think there’s a real opportunity there that hasn’t really been serviced properly yet,” he said.

“There’s going to be a broader evolution of the whole Gladesville village precinct over time, particularly with more activation and mixed-use outcomes.”

The Venus Street proposal will include a commercial and retail component at ground level designed to contribute to that evolving streetscape activation.

“A big part of the thinking was how do you activate that area properly and create more vibrancy and amenity, which is what Hunters Hill has been looking for,” Maroun said.

Lanevick’s focus since 2020 has largely been on smaller-scale luxury townhouse and terrace developments. The developer recently completed Royale Randwick, also designed by Studio Johnston, where prices reached $3.65 million. The project was featured in the UDIA NSW 2026 Professional Development Prospectus and was also named a finalist for Development of the Year.

Lanevick to cater for Hunters Hill downsizers with new Gladesville apartment development

Property developer One Living, backed by former Macquarie banker turned investment manager Chris Green’s investment firm, has unveiled plans to bring more institutional capital into housing to help address the national supply crisis.

The New York-based investor has focused his firm, GreenPoint Partners, on addressing the supply shortage hitting middle market housing in Australia.

It is backing the new One Living business to develop more than 1000 units along the eastern seaboard. The new firm is starting with a development on Mona Vale Road, on the border of Mona Vale and Pymble, in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, with around 140 apartments planned. They are eyeing off more sites across the city.

With cost pressures rising in the industry, One Living’s model is to be a vertically integrated developer-builder, so it can respond directly to the housing gap by removing the cost inefficiencies embedded in traditional residential delivery.

“We are building a platform designed to operate at scale and starting in a market where there’s a clear need for quality, attainable housing,” One Living joint managing director Joseph Scuderi said.

“It’s that missing middle – it’s that attainable end of housing… that’s what most Australians invest into and what Australians can actually afford.”

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="798dfa93-4941-4db6-a696-31e9dc18e81c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.31.50%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=mKBqi5C_DmeiXS.AtJkcR8LQIxqCqmFi" />

GreenPoint Partners brings years of experience assembling and scaling real estate operating businesses across major markets. And Green sees a big opportunity in Australia.

“For its size, sophistication and importance to the community, Australia’s living sector has remained largely under-institutionalised, which represents significant opportunity,” Green said. “GreenPoint identified that gap, assembled the right team, and is backing One Living to build a platform that is aligned to market needs.”

Green said being a builder-developer would give the company the capacity and flexibility it required to deliver reasonably-priced homes.

“We want it to be at that attainable level; not super high end luxury but at that attainable level,” he said.

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="74a5344a-4b26-4d4a-ada3-056b1220be77" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.32.15%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=vY8hXHO4reBMdO8ZXMWCNtGZJofUPQ3j" />

&nbsp;

One Living will undertake a component of affordable housing in its schemes, which it will own and operate, and it could also run build-to-rent on some sites.

Green praised local policy settings.

“The NSW government is being very supportive, strategic and pragmatic in terms of how do we generate more supply of housing,” he said. “We think it’s actually positive for development and the bit that’s been lacking at that attainable level is that it’s lots of relatively small private developers, whereas we want to create an institutional platform.”

One Living is also&nbsp;looking at high-density projects and could take on more institutional funding in the future.

“The way we will be able to achieve economies of scale is through size,” Green added.

One Living enters Sydney's new apartment market with Northern Beaches site acquisition

It's been several years since there's been an opportunity to buy a brand new townhome in Melbourne's coastal suburb of Mordialloc. Even apartment developments in recent times have been few and far between in the area.

Local developer LDS Property identified the gap in new housing, securing a site on White Street, directly opposite&nbsp;Woodlands Golf Club Mordialloc. They've recently launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/wm-residences-mordialloc-102-white-street-mordialloc-vic-3195">WM Residences</a>, just 13 townhouses which they have already started building.

Projects by Buxton Director Heath Thompson, who is selling WM Residences, says the townhouses x that perfect middle ground be

"Mordialloc residents have had limited options to downsize within the suburb, often forcing them to look elsewhere despite long-standing ties to the area," Thompson says.

"With very little comparable new supply coming to market, projects like WM Residences are well placed, particularly as buyers look to capitalise on current conditions amid constrained supply."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6109]

The development, designed by regarded architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ewert-leaf">Ewert Leaf</a>,&nbsp;adopts a deliberately restrained architectural approach, focusing on simplicity, durability and liveability rather than overt design gestures.

The boutique scale is central to the offering. With only 13 three-bedroom residences, each home is configured to prioritise functional layouts and everyday use, supported by private terraces and secure two-car garages.

Ewert Leaf’s design response leans into a calm, neutral material palette. Interiors are defined by oak flooring, white walls and soft finishes, creating a consistent and understated backdrop. The approach avoids trend-driven detailing in favour of longevity, with an emphasis on natural light and spatial clarity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6110]

Beyond aesthetics, the homes are designed to meet contemporary performance expectations. Each residence targets a minimum 6-star energy rating, incorporating double glazing, comprehensive insulation and all-electric Bosch appliances.

The project’s location supports a walkable coastal lifestyle, sitting within close proximity to Mordialloc’s foreshore, Main Street retail strip and the train station. Local cafés and dining venues, including Suburbia Deli and Hendriks Café, are within a short walk, reinforcing the area’s established neighbourhood character.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6116]

While <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/mordialloc-vic-3195">Mordialloc</a> is often defined by its beach and pier, the project taps into other areas of day to day living, offering easy access to local food, casual dining and transport, rather than positioning itself purely as a lifestyle retreat.

WM Residences reflects a continued trend across Melbourne’s coastal suburbs towards smaller-scale, design-led townhouse developments, particularly on infill sites where proximity to amenity is already established.

With construction commenced prior to its market entry, the project aligns with a growing preference among buyers for developments with visible progress and defined delivery timeframes.

Development Site

While it's becoming more and more rare to find a prime beach fronting development site along the Goldie these days, recent town planning changes are making those sites with approved plans that much more of a hot commodity.

Throw that in with the continued demand from downsizers, rightsizers and owner-occupiers, all looking for their slice of paradise in the sunshine state - it’s a pretty rare and often difficult find.&nbsp;

In what will be an unrivalled location, coupled with the fact it will never be built out, a site has recently hit the market in Broadbeach, with approval to build a boutique residential tower with a wine bar, cinema and cafe.&nbsp;

<img alt="Aerial shot of the DA approved Broadbeach site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7a9b0ebb-4faf-402c-aa68-1868f94a8989" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/99-101OldBurleigh14.jpg?VersionId=SA2L4CYFAOap3TmnCTLTGYk5Grxbtk.k" />Aerial shot of the DA approved Broadbeach site

Occupying a substantial corner parcel on the corner of Old Burleigh Road and Armrick Avenue, the two adjoining lots offer 1,283 sqm located just 300 metres from the beach.

Kollosche Commercial agents Adam Grbcic and Tony Grbcic are calling for expressions of interest in a national marketing campaign, targeting local and interstate developers.

Adam Grbcic said the site was purchased and plans lodged prior to major changes to the town plan which would significantly impact what was possible on the same site today.

“What will sell this site is the fact that the approval was obtained under the previous scheme,” said Grbcic.&nbsp;

“The impacts under the new scheme include the removal of podium parking and the new setbacks, which would likely have had a significant impact on the design.”

The site holds Development Approval for ‘Casa Beach’, a 46-storey tower designed by Ferro Chow Architects with a total of 59 residential apartments - including a mix of three, four, and five bedrooms - and three levels of basement car parking.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of the approved Case Beach tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f24417fc-5dba-4b32-93f0-89a96694fb87" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Old_Burleigh_Rd_Casa_Beach_render2.jpg?VersionId=D3eRAJ0HVt.qBpd_FuZyzI1ALqwjBXQ_" />Render of the approved Casa Beach tower.&nbsp;

Communal space atop the podium on level two and at level 44 allows for resident facilities including a gym, dining room, swimming pool, kitchen and barbecue area, steam room, lounge areas, a wine bar, and a cinema, with generous landscaping also proposed.&nbsp;

Opposite Broadbeach Bowls Club and the Broadbeach United Soccer Club, Casa Beach is designed to capitalise on south-easterly views over Broadbeach that can’t be built out and a northern view of the Surfers Paradise skyline.

“The project is very much aimed at downsizers and interstate buyers who are seeking home-sized apartments in a popular beachside lifestyle location,” said Grbcic.&nbsp;

“Build now or build later, time to market is immediate as developers can advertise with a DA in place.”&nbsp;

The approval, which is valid for five years, also has provision for a food and drink outlet on the ground level.

Existing improvements on 101 Old Burleigh Road include a commercial development tenanted by a liquor store and a cafe, while 99 Old Burleigh Road is home to Casa Del Mar, an original three-storey walk-up of five apartments.

Grbcic said Broadbeach remained an A-grade suburb for developers due to the high demand from downsizers looking to relocate to the city’s leading lifestyle suburb.

“Broadbeach is our key suburb during this property cycle and it will remain so during the next,” said Grbcic.

“There are limited sites this close to the beach; the closer you get to the sand, the harder it becomes to amalgamate sites.

“This is where locals want to downsize to because of the amenities – you’ve got the Star Casino, Pacific Fair, a really nice beach, the best surf club on the Gold Coast, the Oracle dining precinct – it’s all right there on the doorstep.”

Expressions of interest on 99-101 Old Burleigh Road, Broadbeach close on Friday, 2 December 2022 at 4pm (AEST).

Broadbeach site with DA approved residential tower plans hits the market

A large development site in the heart of the Woolloongabba Olympic precinct is up for sale, with price expectations in excess of $45 million.

The 1.28-hectare rectangular shaped development site at 73 Ipswich Road in Woolloongabba&nbsp;is expected to attract apartment developers given its central location at the heart of the planned infrastructure in the precinct.

The site has three street frontages, to Ipswich Road and Henry Street and offers multiple development outcomes including residential, commercial, medical and hotel, subject to council approval.

Knight Frank agents Blake Goddard, Christian Sandstrom and Matt Barker in conjunction with Nathan Moore of Ray White Commercial Bayside on behalf of the vendor, a local private.

Goddard said the property was one of the largest privately owned infill sites within a two-kilometre radius of the Brisbane CBD and was expected to be hotly contested by buyers.

&ldquo;We expect a wide range of developers to be interested in this site, including residential, commercial, mixed-use and build-to-rent developers, due to its flexible zoning allowances,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;It is one of the largest privately-owned properties situated in the heart of the Woolloongabba Olympic precinct, close to the Cross River Rail and the redevelopment of &lsquo;the Gabba&rsquo; stadium, and one of the most significant development opportunities to have hit the market in the last few years.

&ldquo;Quality development sites are sought after in the current market, but this site will be even more attractive to a wide range of buyers due to the rarity of size and location. The Gabba stadium and surrounding precinct is set to undergo major transformation in the coming years with over $1 billion allocated to the precinct.&rdquo;

Moore said the property benefitted from its three-street frontage, easy access to major. arterial roads including Ipswich Road and the M1 Pacific Motorway, and the fact that a majority of it was undeveloped.

&ldquo;The property is set to benefit from its prime location underpinned by exceptional future development opportunities in the area surrounding the 2032 Olympics,&rdquo; he said.

The site is surrounded by nearby&nbsp;&nbsp;amenity including The Gabba, the Logan Road dining precinct and the Cross River Rail station upon completion.

&ldquo;The three-street frontage site enjoys a strategic location within Woolloongabba, offering unrivalled amenity along with extensive surrounding transport infrastructure and development,&quot; he added.&nbsp;

Mirvac has acquired an 80-hectare parcel of zoned land in Cobbitty, Camden, which it plans to turn into a new masterplanned community to respond to the surging demand for new homes in Sydney&rsquo;s south west.

The property development group secured the south west growth corridor site from Australian property funds and development firm, Roberts Jones.

Colliers agent Frank Oliveri, who was responsible for the deal, said the transaction helped reflect the strength of the residential development site market in Western Sydney.

&ldquo;This property was highly sought after by both institutional developers and a number of the large home builders in the region.

&ldquo;Residential lots have increased by over 25% in many parts of the market and developers have paid higher prices to secure land stock in the short to medium term&rdquo;, Oliveri said.

Adjacent to the existing suburbs of Oran Park and Harrington Grove, the future community is set to deliver approximately 950 land lots from 225sqm to 1,000sqm, playing fields, a future town centre and community facilities, subject to approval.

Located less than 10 kilometres away from Mirvac&rsquo;s recently completed Crest project at Gledswood Hills, the project will continue the developer&rsquo;s legacy in south west Sydney, according to head of residential, Stuart Penklis.

&ldquo;Having successfully delivered Crest, we&rsquo;re excited to once again be in a position to contribute to Sydney&rsquo;s rapidly evolving south west corridor&rdquo;, he said.

&ldquo;Future residents will relish the picturesque rural aspects of this countryside setting, while benefitting from the adjacent Macarthur Anglican school and other established amenity of Oran Park.&rdquo;

According to Penklis, land and homes in this area are experiencing strong demand due to significant local infrastructure investment including the new Western Sydney International Airport and Aerotropolis now taking shape.

&ldquo;Our passion for reimagining urban life and our commitment to best practice design, sustainability and placemaking principles will guide the vision and masterplan for this new community&rdquo;, he said.

An initial development approval for the first 150 lots is expected to be filed shortly, targeting early activation of the amenity in order to set the foundations for a sustainable, connected community.

The project is expected to be released in mid-2022.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation&rsquo;s last remaining landholding in Elsternwick is soon to hit the market, in what is expected to be a hotly contested sale process for the prime landholding.

The property, 8 Gordon Street, occupies a large 11,740sqm (3 acre) site zoned for Residential Growth with height potential of up to 8 levels on some parts of the property and is being offered for sale with vacant possession. The property will be sold by Public Tender, expected to close in early June.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3402 project_image_fid=15046]

Savills Australia&rsquo;s Clinton Baxter, Nick Peden and Jesse Radisich have been appointed to market the property, saying they expected strong interest from a complete cross section of the market covering &ldquo;the full range of developers&rdquo;, from the residential, commercial, build-to-rent, social infrastructure, education, aged-care and healthcare sectors.

&ldquo;This sale will undoubtedly attract international attention by virtue of it being the most significant inner-Melbourne site to be offered to the market in 2021,&rdquo; Mr Baxter said,

&ldquo;There simply isn&rsquo;t another site of such magnitude and offering a unique array of amenity and positive attributes within the inner suburbs of Melbourne.&quot;

The offering follows Savills&rsquo; sale of the ABC&rsquo;s nearby Selwyn Street property to Woolworths for almost $50 million in 2017.

The site adjoins the magnificent heritage-protected Rippon Lea Estate and is just a short walk from Elsternwick railway station and the vibrant Glen Huntly Road retail strip.

An entire early 1970s apartment complex with highrise development approval in Surfers Paradise has been listed for sale.

The site is currently Anglesea Court, a six-level apartment building incorporating 18 strata title units. It currently has a potential gross return of over $380,000 per annum.

The address 9-11 Garfield Terrace comes with 1037 sqm land holding some 1.5 kms from Cavill Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22057]

It has been listed by Ray White special projects agents Tony Williams, Matthew Frtizsche, and Mark Creevey via an expressions of interest campaign. It is zoned High Density Residential.

“There is a development approval in place for a 16-level boutique hotel comprising 115 suites and three food and beverage tenancies,” Fritzsche said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6995]

The vendor consolidated ownership of the 18 apartments last year in a $16 million outlay.

The Gold Coast Bulletin reported the amalgamation was initiated by a company linked to Sydney developer Lawrence Ryko, who took out options to buy Anglesea’s apartments two years ago.

The property was put on the market last year after the initial redevelopment approval being granted, with Fucrez Pty Ltd securing the options and exercising them.

One of the sellers had been in Anglesea Court since paying $78,000 in 1986.

The separate sale prices ranged from $609,000 to $1.4 million.

Other than the soon-to-be-completed $1.4 billion Jewel Residences, there has been no substantive opportunity for beachfront developments at Surfers Paradise in recent times.

A prime development site in Mermaid Beach on the Gold Coast has been listed for sale. 

The property at 2417-2419 Gold Coast Highway was the original Gold Coast Highway Mermaid Beach Motel, dating back to the 1960s.

Formally also named Castle Motor Inn, the brick building on 817 sqm just 250 metres from the beach is being sold 100 per cent leased to eight tenants, with an annual income of $147,420 fully leased.

Harcourts Coastal agents Jared Johnson, Lachlan Marshall and Guy Powell are marketing the property for an April 24th auction.

Marshall said the property is a fantastic future development site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22057]

"Mermaid Beach has seen a significant influx of families and retirees moving from higher-density capital cities into the suburb," Marshall said.

"This has fuelled the need for high quality residential developments." 
Guy Powell says Mermaid Beach has become a premier lifestyle precinct.

"With the recent announcement of the Gold Coast light rail system from Broadbeach South to Burleigh Heads, Mermaid Beach locals will have immediate access to Queensland's Most Popular Dining &amp; Entertainment Precinct, Burleigh Heads.”

Charter Hall Group has put No.1 Brisbane, comprising three adjoining buildings - 217 George Street, 60 Queen Street and 231 George Street - up for sale.

The properties were acquired in July 2018 with a development approval for an 81 storey residential tower scheme. 

It cost $93.96 million when bought from the Blackstone-backed 151 Property Group.

Approval to build an apartment tower to rival Brisbane’s tallest in the prime location had been secured just a month before it was offered for sale.

Brisbane has a long list of skyscraper project completion including the city welcoming the highly anticipated Brisbane Skytower, which topped out at an impressive 274 metres. 

Outlook for Brisbane’s apartment market is on the positive side, as domestic migration is seen to continue pushing up buyer demand and consequently, property prices since the onset of the pandemic.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90553]

Rather than pursue the residential tower, Charter Hall instead increased its office occupancy and secured another DA for a landmark, 34 storey, commercial office and retail tower designed by architects Blight Rayner.

The DA comprises a total of 24,490sqm (NLA) of office space and 2,150sqm (NLA) of ground floor and podium level prime retail space over 4 storeys as well as basement parking for 94 cars and 213 bikes.

Located at the corner of George Street and the southern end of Queen Street Mall, No.1 Brisbane is being marketed as well positioned to capitalise on the $13 billion of projects in the immediate precinct including Queens Wharf, Cross River Rail, Brisbane Live and the Brisbane Metro. Office tenants include leading corporate and government agencies including Santos, Suncorp, Brisbane City Council, Shell, Telstra and QSuper.

The building's sale campaign, is being handled by CBRE’s Bruce Baker, Peter Chapple, Tom Phipps and JLL’s Seb Turnbull and Paul Noonan.

<html><body>The sale campaign for a Two Rocks residential development site spanning 38ha has been restarted in its prime coastal Perth northern suburbs location.

CBRE’s Ryan McGinnity has been appointed to manage the sale of the landholding, located at 99 Reef Break Drive, Two Rocks. 

The campaign follows the original sales process, which was paused in 2020 following the initial onset of COVID-19.

The property, which forms the balance of the original The Reef estate, is minutes to the Two Rocks Marina and shopping precinct.

The estate is designed to benefit from ocean views, with the land rising from west to east.

It will be in close proximity to the future Yanchep Train Station.

Mr McGinnity noted many developers are now running low of house and land packages or lots to sell.

“In the past eight weeks, nine of the 30 single residential lots remaining within the estate have been sold and enquiries continue to be received. 

"With the opportunity to develop approximately 640 coastal lots, we expect genuine interest from local and national developers.” 

Two Rocks – together with Eglinton, Alkimos and Yanchep at the northern edge of the city’s expanding north-west urban growth corridor – is tipped to cater for over 50% of the City of Wanneroo’s population growth in the next 20 years.

“With the northern suburb’s population expected to exceed 350,000 people by 2036, the State Government is focused on providing adequate infrastructure to enable affordable coastal living,” Mr McGinnity said.
