Developer JL Place is ensuring buyers at its Veil Brighton project have all the right ingredients to make a confident purchase.

To instil confidence in the market, the development was launched when construction was already well underway, helping to alleviate any concerns about the project proceeding. For a limited time, JL Place is now offering buyers the opportunity to secure a townhouse with a five per cent deposit. The initiative aims to assist those who may not have enough savings for a 10 per cent deposit but have sufficient funds to meet bank lending requirements at completion.

Several of the nine two- and three-bedroom townhouses, tucked away off the tree-lined Rooding Street, have already been snapped up, a sign of demand for&nbsp;low-maintenance, owner-occupier-focused housing in Brighton, which continues to outpace supply, particularly for homes that retain scale, privacy, and outdoor space.
</article>

Townhouses account for a relatively small share of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/brighton-vic-3186">Brighton</a>’s housing mix, yet they have become increasingly sought after by downsizers and local buyers seeking to remain in the suburb without the upkeep of a standalone home. At Veil, each residence is arranged across two levels and anchored by a generous private courtyard, allowing natural light to penetrate deep into the interiors while maintaining a strong sense of separation from the street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7877 project_image_fid=355754]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/schmidt-pang-architects">Schmidt &amp; Pang</a>, the architecture has been intentionally restrained, presenting as a single, cohesive residence from Rooding Street rather than a conventional multi-dwelling development. Clean lines and robust materiality are softened by layered landscaping by John Patrick Landscape Architects, reinforcing the project’s emphasis on privacy and integration within its residential context.

Interiors favour a neutral, durable palette suited to long-term living, with oak flooring, grey-toned tiles, natural stone surfaces, and brushed nickel finishes throughout. Kitchens are equipped with Miele appliances and stone benchtops, while several homes include a ground-floor bedroom or flexible study, supporting accessibility and adaptability over time.

Sustainability has been embedded into the design, with each townhouse targeting a 6-star energy rating supported by double glazing, natural ventilation, high-grade insulation, LED lighting, and water-efficient fittings. Secure basement parking, bicycle storage, water tanks, and NBN readiness further position the homes for contemporary, lower-impact living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7877 project_image_fid=355771]

The introduction of the five per cent deposit structure aims to improve buyer financial flexibility while securing a foothold in Brighton ahead of completion, which is scheduled for late 2026. With prices starting from $1.529 million, the development has already recorded early sales momentum, with two residences secured prior to formal marketing.

Veil Brighton adds to JL PLACE’s growing portfolio of low-scale, architecturally driven residential projects, delivered in collaboration with builder <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/jeniton">JENITON</a>, whose involvement brings a further layer of delivery confidence to the project as construction continues on site.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lindsay-bennelong-developments">Lindsay Bennelong Developments</a> has reached a key milestone at Delano Crows Nest, with the boutique residential project now officially complete following strata plan registration and the issuing of the occupation certificate.

The completion marks the delivery of 81 residences at 41 Falcon Street, concluding a carefully scaled infill project designed to bridge <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/crows-nest-nsw-2065">Crows Nest</a>’s lively village centre with its surrounding heritage streets.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ajc-architects">AJC Architects</a>, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/delano-crows-nest-27-57-falcon-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Delano</a> is arranged across three low-rise buildings, incorporating a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments alongside a limited number of townhomes addressing Hayberry Lane. The architectural approach draws on the area’s Art Deco lineage, reinterpreted through contemporary detailing and framed by landscaped communal gardens.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134072 project_image_fid=357194]

Peter Campbell, Managing Director of Lindsay Bennelong Developments, said the project’s completion reflected a long-held focus on delivering housing that sits comfortably within its local context.

“Reaching completion at Delano is an important moment for our team and for the purchasers who will soon take ownership of their homes,” Campbell said. “From the outset, the priority was to deliver a building that respects the character of Crows Nest while offering residents a high-quality, considered place to live.”

The development steps down in height from a central seven-storey apartment building to lower-scale forms along Falcon Street, with townhomes reinforcing the established residential grain. Internally, residences feature herringbone engineered timber flooring, natural stone benchtops paired with integrated Miele appliances, and double-glazed windows throughout.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134072 project_image_fid=3331]

Sustainability and liveability were embedded throughout the design, with cross-ventilation incorporated across apartments, energy-efficient fixtures specified, and water-harvesting systems supporting landscaped areas. Shared amenities include a residents’ gym, an electric vehicle for communal use, and a central lawn with barbecue and seating zones .

Delano’s location places residents approximately 450 metres from the Crows Nest Metro Station, which has significantly improved connectivity to Sydney’s CBD and wider metropolitan network. Everyday amenity is also close at hand, with Woolworths, cafés, dining, and local retail clustered within a short walk, reinforcing the suburb’s village appeal.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134072 project_image_fid=357191]

“Our focus has always been on securing premium sites, so we were excited by the opportunity to reimagine this significant location,” said Campbell. “With the new Crows Nest Metro Station now operational, this sought-after locale is firmly in the spotlight."&nbsp;

Campbell said collaboration with the local community and consultant team was central to the project’s delivery.

"We worked closely with the community throughout the planning process to ensure the design respected and enhanced the neighbourhood's character,” he said. "I’m confident that we have collaboratively achieved a place to live poised to become an important part of Crows Nest's rich and diverse architectural fabric."

Delano Crows Nest reaches completion as Lindsay Bennelong prepares for resident handover

Australia's leading visionary placemakers,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/walker-corporation">Walker&nbsp;Corporation</a>, has unveiled an exclusive collection of four dual-level penthouses at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sol-by-walker-maroochydore-first-avenue-maroochydore-qld-4558">SOL by Walker</a>, redefining luxury living within the heart of the vibrant Maroochydore City Centre.

Positioned atop the precinct’s tallest residential tower, The Penthouse Collection crowns SOL’s first stage and comprises four three and four-bedroom + MPR residences designed to capture uninterrupted views across the Coral Sea, Maroochy River, Point Cartwright and the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=147777 project_image_fid=358857]

Each penthouse is arranged across two levels, with upper-level multi-purpose spaces opening to expansive wraparound terraces and private rooftop plunge pools, a rare configuration in the local market that blends apartment convenience with the scale and privacy more typically associated with standalone homes. Private lift access and generous internal areas further reinforce the collection’s owner-occupier focus.

Interiors have been curated by Melbourne-based studio <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/mim-design">Mim Design</a>, with material palettes drawing directly from the Sunshine Coast’s coastal and hinterland landscapes. Founder Miriam Fanning said the design approach was grounded in a sense of place and longevity.

“Our approach aimed to capture the essence of the Sunshine Coast and the enviable ease of coastal life,” Fanning said. “The material palette draws from the changing tones of the landscape, layered with brushed metals, textured ceramic tiles and natural timber to create a sense of warmth and permanence.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=147777 project_image_fid=358858]

Across the residences, kitchens are appointed with Onde Rossa marble benchtops, Verde Atlantis marble accents and premium Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, while bathrooms are finished in limestone with mosaic detailing. Terracotta marble defines entry spaces and private wine cellars, underscoring the bespoke nature of the interiors.

Walker Corporation Group Executive of Development Peter Saba said the exclusive collection reflects shifting demand for high-quality, low-maintenance homes that do not compromise on space, privacy or outlook.

“Our Penthouse Collection perfectly captures the essence of Maroochydore’s coastal beauty and lifestyle, setting a new benchmark for luxury city living on the Sunshine Coast with panoramic views of the region,” Saba said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=147777 project_image_fid=3393]

“These residences cater to the growing mix of people choosing to live and invest on the Sunshine Coast, adding to the diversity of high-quality homes available at SOL by Walker. The strong waitlist and near sell-out of the first SOL tower reinforce confidence in the region’s transformation into a modern, connected coastal city.”

SOL by Walker forms part of the broader Maroochydore City Centre project, being delivered by Walker in partnership with Sunshine Coast Council and SunCentral. Once complete, the precinct will introduce new residential, commercial and retail offerings to the city centre, supported by major public investment ahead of the 2032 Olympic Games.

Construction of SOL’s first tower is well underway, with completion targeted for late 2027, while Tower 2 is expected to follow in early 2028.

Rare new Maroochydore penthouses revealed at SOL by Walker

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a> has been developing residential property across Australia for more than five decades. Over the past 10 years, the ASX-listed developer has placed a strong emphasis on sustainability, championed through its This Changes Everything initiative, while more recently diversifying its portfolio with an expansion into the build-to-rent sector.

Central to Mirvac’s approach in recent years has been a focus on how residents will not only enjoy their apartments, but how well each development supports day-to-day lifestyle needs. <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/trielle-at-yarra-s-edge-docklands-16-point-park-crescent-docklands-vic-3008">Trielle</a>, Mirvac’s latest instalment within its Yarra’s Edge precinct on the Docklands waterfront, is arguably the developer’s most amenity-rich project to date.

With extensive facilities designed for both work and leisure, residents could technically spend an entire day within the tower without needing to leave. Two dedicated spaces cater specifically to working from home: The Biblioteca and The Mills Place Work From Home Pods.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3781]

The Biblioteca, a library designed for quiet work and reading, occupies a peaceful corner of Trielle overlooking the Promenade Grove and Point Park. The Mills Place Work From Home Pods, located on the ground floor, offer bookable office spaces and work pods available for short sessions or full-day use.

With the working day covered, the building’s amenity extends seamlessly into leisure and downtime, just a lift ride away.

One of the most striking inclusions in Trielle’s extensive amenity offering is The Oasis Wellness Club, a verdant urban rainforest complete with a stream-inspired water feature, located seven storeys above the Yarra’s Edge promenade. Designed in collaboration with luxury spa expert Naomi Gregory, The Oasis delivers a Scandinavian-inspired wellness experience, offering residents a tranquil, resort-like setting designed to accommodate spa-style treatments and contrast hydrotherapy as part of daily rituals.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=360958]

The wellness offering also includes a biophilic gym equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, along with a yoga and Pilates studio, sauna, hot magnesium pool, cold plunge, 25-metre indoor pool and a spa.

Trielle also places a strong emphasis on socialising. Among the most indulgent spaces is The Salone Piano Bar, an intimate lounge featuring richly textured interiors and north-facing river views. Positioned just 14 metres from the river’s edge, the space invites residents to unwind to the sounds of a self-playing piano.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3777]

Adjacent to the piano bar is the Chef’s Table dining room, designed for private dinner parties and featuring a striking natural stone table and an impressive wine fridge. Residents can book the space via the building’s dedicated concierge service or through the integrated building app.

Additional amenities include a cinema room, games room with adjoining teppanyaki barbecue and alfresco space, golf simulator, sunken fire pit, and even a dedicated dog wash bay. Mirvac’s in-house construction arm is tracking toward a mid-2027 completion, delivering what is set to be one of Melbourne’s most comprehensive and impressive residential amenity offerings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=361041]

The strong response from buyers to Trielle’s facilities has influenced Mirvac’s broader Melbourne pipeline. At its nearby development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-albertine-by-mirvac-melbourne-31-queens-lane-melbourne-vic-3004">The Albertine</a>, located just off St Kilda Road opposite Albert Park Lake, the Mirvac Design team has again placed a strong emphasis on lifestyle amenity, carefully scaled to suit the building’s density.

At The Albertine, health and wellness take centre stage through The Circadian Club, a suite of well-being-focused facilities including a swimming pool, magnesium spa, sauna, cutting-edge gymnasium, and yoga studio, all designed to support residents’ physical and mental health.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138659 project_image_fid=361042]

Residents of The Albertine are offered an elevated experience with The Elysian Room, a private dining room located on Level 10. Flowing seamlessly onto The Terrace, this outdoor retreat captures panoramic Melbourne views and is wrapped in lush, ASPECT Studios–designed landscaping of native plants and ferns, forming a serene garden oasis above the city.

Mirvac topped out The Albertine in late 2025 and is targeting completion of the 98-apartment development in mid-2026.

Mirvac’s amenity-first approach reshapes apartment living in Melbourne

The first tranche of residents has moved into <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/highett-common-37-graham-road-highett-vic-3190">Highett Common</a>, Victoria’s first medium-density, Net Zero-targeted masterplanned community in the heart of Bayside.

Developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sunkin-property-group">Sunkin Property Group</a> has completed the first two buildings, North Lane and Park House, within the landmark 9.3-hectare precinct. Four hectares of the well-connected site have been reserved for public parkland, including one hectare dedicated to a children’s playground and social spaces, and a further three hectares retained as a conservation reserve to protect native species and enhance the local environment.

Sunkin’s construction arm, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/sk-construction">SK Construction</a>, is now progressing the next stage of residences as part of the Mews Collection, as the team prepares to launch the most boutique building within the neighbourhood. The latest release, Habitat, comprises just 57 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, with pricing starting from under $600,000. Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/clarke-hopkins-clarke">Clarke Hopkins Clarke</a>, Habitat has been conceived as a refined expression of bayside living, placing nature, community and design longevity at its core.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=351719]

“Habitat at Highett Common is an exclusive offering meticulously designed to reflect the character of the local Bayside area,” said Scott Jessop, Head of Sales &amp; Marketing at Sunkin Property Group. “It’s a highly considered release within a precinct that continues to gain momentum on every front.”

Connection to nature has guided the architectural response, with apartments oriented to maximise natural light, outlooks and indoor–outdoor flow. Balconies and terraces extend living spaces into the surrounding landscape, reinforcing the project’s strong relationship with its parkland setting.

“Apartments have been designed to maximise this connection to nature from indoor to outdoor spaces through adjacent balconies and terraces, and proximity to public parks and open spaces,” said Clarke Hopkins Clarke Partner Toby Lachlan. “Highett Common as a whole was designed to maximise connection to nature and a Bayside lifestyle, and Habitat is really at the heart of that.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=331187]

Habitat also occupies a central social position within the precinct, directly connected to Highett Common’s new library and café. These community amenities have been designed to encourage daily interaction and foster a genuine neighbourhood feel.

Interiors continue the theme of warmth and longevity, with light-filled layouts, timber detailing and carefully selected materials. Buyers can personalise their homes through a range of customisation options, while kitchens act as the centrepiece of each apartment. Options include sculptural or freestanding island benches, paired with Bosch appliances and induction cooktops.

Clarke Hopkins Clarke Associate Interior Designer Michelle Cavicchiolo said the interiors were designed with a timeless sensibility. “The materials, fixtures and fittings have been selected for longevity,” she said. “All of these features, along with functional apartment layouts, contribute to a premium aesthetic.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=300055]

Beyond Habitat, residents will enjoy access to a growing suite of shared amenities across Highett Common, including indoor and outdoor pools, a gym, wellness areas, cinema and resident lounge. Highett Station is just two minutes away, providing easy access to Melbourne’s CBD, while the cafés, shops and dining along Highett Road add everyday convenience.

For prospective buyers, the timing is compelling. Off-the-plan purchasers may be eligible for stamp duty savings of up to $85,000, while changes to the First Home Owners Guarantee Scheme from October 2025, including higher price thresholds and the removal of income caps, are expected to broaden access to Bayside living.

“There’s never been a better time to take advantage of our newest stage,” Jessop said. “With a wealth of customisation available, buyers can truly create the home of their dreams in one of Melbourne’s most desirable middle-ring Bayside suburbs.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=300066]

The arrival of the first residents has been timed to coincide with the launch of the Highett Common Connect app, reinforcing the precinct’s strong focus on connection and community from day one. Designed to simplify daily life, the app brings building information, shared amenities and community activity into one easy-to-use platform. From booking facilities and receiving building updates to accessing move-in guides, safety procedures and appliance manuals, residents have everything they need at their fingertips.

The app also supports social connection, allowing residents to view and join community events, organise interest groups, and engage through a community hub and marketplace. Practical features such as maintenance reporting, real-time notifications and a shared calendar help streamline everyday living and support a more connected community.

Highett Common takes shape as first residents move in

Domestic Investors

Will 2022 be the year of apartments, the year of investors, or both?

Now that international borders are open, the forecasts of immigration are strong, and rolling lockdowns keeping workers out of offices are a thing of the past, industry commentators and experts believe&nbsp;apartments will be back in fashion, given the affordability constraints due to runaway house prices.

Investors, who have been quiet in the property market for the best part of two years due to the&nbsp;COVID-induced downturn on migration and rental returns, are now starting to creep back in to the market.

Now more than ever, the highest priorities for investors are to buy in an area which has planned local infrastructure, solid&nbsp;population growth forecasts, and strong transport links.

One of Sydney&#39;s fastest growing suburbs is Castle Hill&nbsp;in Sydney&#39;s Hills District,&nbsp;north-west of the city. The area&nbsp;is undergoing a huge transformation, with the redevelopment of the Castle Towers Shopping Centre, and the new&nbsp;Metro Station connecting residents to the CBD in just&nbsp;40 minutes by train.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94147 project_image_fid=152850]

Population forecasts are also solid, with experts forecasting a 20 per cent rise in population in the next 15 years.

McGrath Projects Associate Director&nbsp;Adam Sparkes says he&#39;s seeing investors start to get back in to the market, with a number of investors interested in the potential returns&nbsp;at&nbsp;Grand Reve, the Castle Hill apartment development from builder developer Kassis Homes.

&quot;Many are seeing long-term growth in the area, with the Castle Towers redevelopment the obvious drawcard,&quot; Sparkes says, also suggesting that there are more shrewd&nbsp;buyers in the market than ever before.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94147 project_image_fid=152854]

&quot;First home buyers are getting savvier, and are intending to live in the new apartment on completion, with a view of making it an investment in the years after when they&#39;ve moved on,&quot; Sparkes notes.

&quot;Local downsizers are also buying with a view that, upon completion in Q4 2023, they will likely lease the apartment while they put the wheels in motion to sell their family home, and downsize in to the apartment eventually.&quot;

One of the biggest drawcards of Grand Reve is its location, in the heart of Castle Hill. Sparkes says there&#39;s considerable interest given the location, close enough to benefit&nbsp;from the infrastructure of the $1 billion redevelopment of the Showground Precinct, but far enough away from where dozens of apartment projects are under construction and in the pipeline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94147 project_image_fid=152852]

Sparkes advises some of the larger, more owner-occupier friendly apartments in Grand Reve will likely yield around 3.5 per cent on completion,&nbsp;but the more investor friendly one and two-bedroom product should reach a yield of around 4.5 per cent, well above The Hills District average of 3.4 per cent that SQM Research calculate.

The savviest of investors have been buying through their self-managed super funds, with one purchaser, a local couple, spending over $850,000 on a two-bedroom apartment in their SMSF.

There&#39;s also the depreciation benefit&nbsp;of a brand new asset&nbsp;for investors, who can claim yearly depreciation of the investment, an option not available to those investors seeking an already built apartment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=94147 project_image_fid=152848]

Castle Hill&nbsp;has a median apartment price of $969,000, up 7.4&nbsp;per cent in the last 12 months, according to CoreLogic data.&nbsp;The gap between the median house and median&nbsp;apartment price in Castle Hill is&nbsp;$1.32 million, with the&nbsp;Castle Hill median house value at $2.292 million in February.

In August last year, McGrath Founder John McGrath noted the growing shift of those seeking out apartments over houses due to affordability, and that gap has only grown since then.

&quot;We&rsquo;re now meeting young people at opens who tell us they&rsquo;ve given up on a house and have switched their search to townhouses and apartments,&quot; McGrath said.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=94147]

Now more than ever, the highest priorities for investors are to buy in an area which has planned local infrastructure, solid population growth forecasts, and strong transport links.

Will investors and outpriced prospective house buyers drive the apartment market in 2022?

Miles Residences is one of the Gold Coast’s most sought-after residential beachfront projects in the pipeline.

The development of 118 apartments is part of the redevelopment of the Kirra Beach Hotel. The brains behind the operation is the family-ran KTQ Group, led by Peggy Flannery, who are behind the award-winning Elements of Byron Bay.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27575]

They've already seen unprecedented levels of success in the $180 million Development with over 80 per cent of apartments sold in just under 3 months since launching.

There has been a strong uptake from local investors, with around 52 per cent coming from Queensland and 37 of those are lifestyle investors.

<a href="/buildings/miles-kirra-beach-hotel-101-musgrave-street-coolangatta"><img alt="" height="1628" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/kirra_beach_hotel_new_1.jpg" width="1800"></a>

KTQ Group Development Director Jeremy Holmes says the high level of Queensland buyers is mainly due to the local market acting quickly to choose their ideal apartment.

"They have been waiting 10 years for this project and didn’t want to miss out on the uninterrupted view lines.” 

<h2>What investors need to know</h2>

Infrastructure

Despite the market booming from COVID-19, there are hopes the Gold Coast apartment market will continue to grow due to the strong infrastructure pipeline.

Some $2.3 billion has been allocated to upgrade the G-Link Light Rail which currently runs as far south to Broadbeach.

The next stage will see the south terminus become Burleigh Heads, then, as part of the Gold Coast City Transport Strategy 2031, it will head as far as the airport at Coolangatta, less than a few kilometres from Miles Residences.

<a href="/buildings/miles-kirra-beach-hotel-101-musgrave-street-coolangatta"><img alt="" height="800" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/kirra_miles_residences_living_area__0.jpg" width="1200"></a>

The airport is undergoing a $370 million redevelopment, and work has begun on the $673 million upgrade of the nearby Tweed Hospital.

North of Miles Residences toward Broadbeach there's The Star Gold Coast's $2 billion master plan which allows up to seven towers to be built, one of which, a $63 million tower, is reported to be homing a Marriott Brand W Hotel.

Apartments are in high demand

The two most popular destinations for interstate migration are the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast, the REIQ note. Some 7000 migrants moved to Queensland in the December quarter.

Surfers Paradise, which recorded more than 2,100 vacant rentals at the peak of the pandemic nine months ago, currently has 0.7% stock availability.

<a href="/buildings/miles-kirra-beach-hotel-101-musgrave-street-coolangatta"><img alt="" height="896" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/miles_kirra_views_0.jpg" width="1200"></a>

Record low vacancies have been reported across the entire Gold Coast, particularly in the south where there's a 0.3 per cent median vacancy.

“What we’re seeing is an unprecedented level of diminishing rental availability that’s placing significant pressure on our State’s housing sector – so much so that it’s unsustainable and why urgent action is required to better support both increased and ongoing property investor activity in the Queensland property market and the contributions they make to the state economy,” REIQ president Antonia Mercorella said.

Miles Residences investors safe and sound with local infrastructure boom and sea-changer trend

<html><body>
The low-growth environment will likely make investors focus on placemaking and present them with the potential to invest in new sectors and locations, according to CBRE’s outlook on the trends shaping the Australian property market.
This was the over-arching theme of the commercial real estate firm’s annual Melbourne Market Outlook presentation recently, which also highlighted the strong performance of Australia’s south-east property markets – in particular, Melbourne and Sydney.
Both cities have stood out from an APAC perspective given their outlook for low office vacancy rates and office rental growth averaging 7 percent over the next three years, said CBRE’s head of Research, Australia, Stephen McNabb.
However, in an environment of relatively limited overall growth, McNabb said investors needed to seek out opportunities to optimise their portfolios, taking into account factors such as the current focus on space efficiency and workplace flexibility.
CBRE’s Asia Pacific head of Research, Dr Henry Chin, said this was driving a heightened interest in trends such as placemaking, as owners sought to unlock property value through asset repositioning.
“Landlords should be striving to create a community of tenants instead of simply providing office space,” Dr Chin said.
“You have to create communities to keep tenants in your building and that’s why we talk about placemaking.”
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/03/14/CBREinside.jpg" alt=""> 
McNabb referenced CBRE’s recent Millennials survey, which highlighted the heightened focus of millennials on areas such as greenspace and wellness in the workplace.
“Decision makers need to start looking more at employee data to drive their decisions as customer expectations are changing,” McNabb said.
The presentation also highlighted a growing trend for investors to seek out opportunities in newer sectors and markets.
“From a cyclical perspective, Australia’s south east markets are the stand out in terms of forecast income growth,” McNabb said.
“However, we expect to see more domestic investors looking offshore and at opportunities to alternative assets such as health &amp; aged care, infrastructure and even institutional investment in residential,” McNabb said.
