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.

Shark Tank judge Andrew Banks and wife Andrea have increased their foothold in the Sydney property market.
They've spent $6,065,000 on the Double Bay home of recruitment king Joel Barbuto, who restored the 1890s Victorian Italianate manor during his short ownership.
It's been promptly leased at $3,500 a week, reflecting a three percent yield.
Barbuto, the managing director of Gough Recruitment, paid $4,425,000 for the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-double+bay-128586378" target="_blank">Cross Street landmark</a> in 2016 when offered for the first time in 50 years.

Set on 335 sqm, the two-storey home has three bedrooms, two with balconies, three bathrooms and a landscaped north facing garden. 
The home has been bought under a company name, with the directors including Stephen and Patricia Stevens, who recently spent $6.2 million on the Double Bay home of socialite interior designer Nellie Tilley.
<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/2018/9/26/banks3.jpg" alt=""> The master bedroom.
Andrew and Andrea are now based at Point Piper having spent $21 million on a non-harbourfront home, having sold in Beverly Hills for US$15,995,000.
Earlier this year they were approved for a renovation for the Point Piper property.
It was a return to Point Piper for the couple, who previously called Villa Veneto, the Point Piper waterfront, home for before selling for a reported $52 million in 2010.
Their latest purchase isn't as grand, but is the third most expensive house sale in Double Bay this year.

Shark Tank's Andrew Banks makes another property splash

<html><body>
The former Primary Healthcare CEO Peter Gregg has sold his Double Bay trophy home abode ahead of tonight's scheduled auction.
The four-bedroom, heritage-listed 1934 mansion is known locally as "Taj" secured around $7.75 million.
Gregg and wife Tobi Moroz purchased the house in 2015 from prominent legal couple Maurice Neil and Natasha Goulden for $6.2 million.
The landmark Spanish Revival property has been listed through Michael Finger and Peter Leipnik.
​A major renovation in 2005 won it a Woollahra Council Conservation Award. 
The heritage-listed property comes with $1.3 million DA-approved plans for alterations and additions designed by Howe Architects.
The Wiston Garden Spanish Mission-style house was built on the cul-de-sac in 1934 at a cost of £2,700.
The heritage listed property was built in 1934 by poulterer Albert Glazebrook with rare Max Le Verrier light fittings.
Subsequent owners included the art dealer Marlene Antico and the corporate adviser Robert Crossman who paid $1,705,000 in 1997.

The founding directors of Ray White Double Bay, Craig Pontey and Michael Finger have sold their shareholdings to Elliott Placks, but are not going far.
The property veterans are staying on at the estate agency as sales agents and mentors to the 30-strong sales force.
The Ray White Double Bay office sold more than $930 million in property last year, being the number one office in Ray White’s Australian network for the last seven years.
(Pictured above Craig Pontey, Elliott Placks and Michael Finger.)
Pontey said this was a very natural succession plan which the trio had all been working towards for some time.
“This is a very stylish transition and the time is right.
"We both know Elliott will take the business that we started in 1988 to new levels," Pontey said.
<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/2018/9/12/Clipping%203.jpg" alt="">

Finger said it’s “business as usual” for their clients.
“Craig and I are just stepping back from the day to day management of the business and I’m looking forward to helping mentor the agents." 
Elliott Placks is now the managing director of Ray White Double Bay.
Placks has been at Ray White Double Bay for the last 15 years and as a director for the last seven years.
“I’m proud of the achievements this incredible team has received and their continuous drive for high performance and I’m thrilled to be at the helm,” Placks said.
The 37-year-old ambitious leader said his team was unified through collaboration, authenticity, elite habits and immovable ethics and values.
Michael Krimotat is its director of property management and Daniel Pym, the director of its loan division.
Pontey and Finger joined ERA Ray White from AH Taylor Nationwide in April 1988, with it reported in the local paper, The Eastern Herald's Hobnobbing column.
<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/2018/9/12/Clipping%202.jpg" alt="">

Their first listing at the new agency was the 1885 Randwick home Peckham on Cowper Street for the furniture retailers Graham and Helen Bailey from Bailey &amp; McBride.
It hasn't sold since its mid-1988 sale at $1.31 million.
The veteran pair started together at AH Taylor Real Estate in 1978 as property managers when Finger hired Pontey.
Their Ray White Double Bay co-founder Trevor Leach sold out of the partnership around six year ago.
AH Taylor, which briefly held the Century 21 franchise, dates back to 1926.

A company lead by Sydney developer Eduard Litver has acquired the retail-component of the Cosmopolitan Centre Double Bay from Stamford Group.
Litver plans to adapt the leasehold island precinct as a "sophisticated, world-class venue reminiscent of its indulgent past with a modern twist".
Litver is an active property investor, developer and has been a Double Bay resident for over 25 years.
He has been involved in numerous developments, including Pacific Bondi Beach, which won several national architectural and design awards.
Litver is confident that the Cosmopolitan will be "reborn".
Savills Retail Investments' Steven Lerche brokered the deal.
Litver was last in the news when he bought a Bellevue Hill property, <a href="/news/property-developer-eduard-litver-buys-bellevue-hill-trophy-sundorne">Sundorne</a> which he now plans demolition and the building of three houses.

The philanthropic Kiwi businessman Sir Owen Glenn is seeking $13 million for his Double Bay apartment.
He's the former part owner of the New Zealand Warriors NRL side, owning a stake in the side from 2000 until 2015 when he sold his 50% stake to Eric Watson.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-apartment-nsw-double+bay-128091162%20" target="_blank">The Gladswood Gardens apartment</a>, more house-size according to Laing + Simmons listing agents Bart Doff and Sally Hampshire, sits in a triplex harbour front block.
Glenn's $9 million purchase back in 2010 was the last sale in the complex that has its own swimming pool and spa.
Stockbroker John Bowie Wilson and wife Sally bought just a few months earlier, paying $5.8 million for their slice of the ultra-tightly held building.
The other apartment in the block has been owned by AdNews founder David Yaffa since 2001. He paid $3.63 million.
Glenn's two level waterfront apartment comprises 520 square metres of indoor and outdoor living.
It has three bedrooms, four bathrooms and a separate study and comes complete with bespoke interiors by architect Nick Tobias and designer Alexandra Kidd.
The living and dining area opens to a waterfront terrace and lawn which look out over Double Bay Beach and the Double Bay marina.
Doff and Hampshire have set a May 8 auction.

The Real Housewives of Sydney star Krissy Marsh is again seeking tenants for her pricey Double Bay investment apartment.
It's being marketed as <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-apartment-nsw-double+bay-423471818" target="_blank">one of Double Bay's finest apartments</a> by LJ Hooker agent Sarah Moloney.
She is advertising it at a slightly reduced $2,650 a week asking rent as it was up for lease this time last year at $2,700 a week.
<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/2018/4/11/marsh.jpg" alt="">
The apartment in the Kann Finch-designed Bay Street complex cost Marsh $3.5 million in 2015.
Spanning nearly 300 sqm, the apartment has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms are ensuited and open up to balconies.
There's a combined formal lounge and dining area, as well as a separate family room and a full width terrace.

The apartment had been her base during the filming of the first series of RHOS. 
The second series is on the horizon with filming beginning a few months ago, and Marsh is expected to be on screen with a near whole new cast. 
Marsh calls Dover Heights home, although she tried to sell the opulent property without luck last year after thinking of making a move to Vaucluse.
The formal Queensland model wanted $8 million for the six bedroom entertainer designed by architects Mackenzie Pronk. It came with interiors from Make Creative's Antonia Pesenti.
Neil Mackenzie and Heidi Pronk designed the home in 2009.
The four level home features a gym, cinema, heated plunge pool and a rooftop terrace.
