Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

A collection of just 25 large-format apartments and penthouses overlooking Goodwin Park is entering the Coolangatta market, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marea-residences-coolangatta-27-27a-dixon-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Maréa Residences</a> combining a low-density, residential-only approach with uninterrupted park and Pacific Ocean outlooks.

Located at 27 Dixon Street, Maréa comprises three and four-bedroom residences alongside a limited number of dual-level penthouses, with the project positioned between Goodwin Park and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>’s coastal precinct.

Construction has commenced, with completion currently estimated for late 2027. Three-bedroom residences are priced from $1.8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374005]

The project has been designed around its northern outlook across the park, with the building’s architecture, landscaping and material palette intended to establish a connection with the neighbouring green space. The residences have been configured to maximise natural light and views across Goodwin Park towards the ocean.

Inside, the material palette incorporates timber, stone and brushed brass, complemented by curved detailing and ambient lighting. Kitchens and bathrooms carry the same natural material approach, while residences also include basement parking, storage and lift access.

Maréa’s penthouses are arranged over two levels and include private pools, adding another layer to the project’s focus on larger-format apartment living. Across the development, residences are configured with three or four bedrooms rather than the broader mix of smaller apartment types commonly found in larger projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374010]

Resident amenity is concentrated at rooftop level, where landscaped entertaining terraces and pools take advantage of elevated views across Coolangatta and the Pacific Ocean.

The project has so far been particularly well received by local owner-occupiers and downsizers, according to Urban Activation Property Sales and Marketing Director Matt George, with the residential-only format, construction quality and northern park outlook among the features resonating with purchasers.

“The uninterrupted northern aspect overlooking Goodwin Park has been a key point of difference, with buyers attracted to the sense of serenity and open space the park provides, while still enjoying easy access to the ocean and being within walking distance of the lifestyle and amenities Coolangatta has to offer,” George said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374002]

“The combination of high-quality construction, a residential-only building, park outlook and proximity to the beach has resonated strongly with the local downsizer market.”

The Dixon Street address is within walking distance of Coolangatta Beach and the broader southern Gold Coast coastline, including the surf breaks at Snapper Rocks and Kirra. Coolangatta’s cafés, restaurants and retail are nearby, while Gold Coast Airport is also within close proximity.

Maréa Residences brings parkside apartments to Coolangatta

Melbourne developer PDG has secured Victorian Government approval for its $1.5 billion Southbank development <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-1-queens-bridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The One</a>, clearing the way for the long-dormant riverfront site opposite Crown to finally be developed.

The Minister for Planning has approved the project at 1-29 Queens Bridge Street, with the Department of Transport and Planning issuing the planning permit following its assessment.

The approval will allow PDG to develop the prominent 5,059 sqm site with a major mixed-use tower comprising premium apartments, including branded residences, a luxury hotel and boutique office space.

PDG acquired the site in late 2024, with its position directly opposite Crown's main entrance and near Melbourne's Arts Precinct making it one of Southbank's most significant remaining development opportunities.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3933013e-6332-4386-b9be-089df05caf17" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sITIgBqDL0N3VNSMwWEmF5UA.uvcsRyu" />

Designed by COX in collaboration with ODO and PDG, the tower's architecture draws on the movement of the Yarra River, with six vertical pleats running the height of the sculpted facade.

The project will also see the heritage-listed Queens Bridge Hotel restored and incorporated into the development&nbsp;with new hospitality and public uses, including a rooftop venue.

A significant component of The One will be its residential amenity.

More than 5,000 sqm of resident facilities will be delivered across a single level, making it one of the largest consolidated residential amenity offerings proposed in an Australian apartment development.

The planning approval also incorporates a major upgrade of Queensbridge Square, which PDG will deliver in partnership with the City of Melbourne.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="73167fcd-1031-4b6f-a408-a064cfe45ed1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.17%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Pf1AEWxw6SNmBqR0zQW5lyEze.MtxgFp" />

The existing square will be revitalised as a new civic and pedestrian space along the Yarra River, strengthening the connection between the project, Southbank and the riverfront.

PDG Founder and Managing Director Vince Giuliano said the approval represented a major milestone for a site which has remained largely underutilised for more than 15 years.

“This is the most significant Planning Permit approval Melbourne has seen in recent years,” Giuliano said.

“For more than 15 years, this site has remained underutilised. This approval enables us to deliver a project that will contribute meaningfully to the revitalisation of Southbank, restore and reactivate an important heritage building, and create a new civic and hospitality destination for Melbourne.”

The latest approval follows an earlier planning permit issued by the City of Melbourne covering demolition works across part of the site at 9-29 Queens Bridge Street. Those demolition and early works are already underway.

PDG has also started generating early interest in the residential component from owner-occupiers ahead of a planned public launch in early 2027.

PDG secures approval for $1.5bn Southbank apartment development, The One

Local developer Harridan is seeking to turn its Woolloongabba apartment project into the first stage of a broader transformation of Burke Street, using a new 16-storey mixed-use building to establish a greener pedestrian connection toward the rapidly evolving Boggo Road transport and knowledge precinct.

The South East Queensland developer has filed plans for 154 apartments on the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/4-burke-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">southern side of Burke Street</a>, where its proposal has been designed alongside a wider vision by LatStudios for the street.

That vision positions the southern side of Burke Street for buildings of 15 storeys and above, while envisaging lower-rise development of up to five storeys on the northern side to transition into Woolloongabba's existing character housing. It also proposes wider pedestrian verges, deep planting, new street trees and upgrades to the pedestrian approach to Boggo Road Station.

The Harridan development itself has been designed by Brisbane-based Arqus Design and will comprise 154 apartments across 16 storeys. The mix is weighted heavily toward two-bedroom apartments, with 121 proposed alongside 10 one-bedroom and 23 three-bedroom residences. There will typically be around 14 units per floor.

A lower-ground car park and three podium levels will accommodate 156 resident parking spaces, along with visitor and commercial parking. There will also be 154 resident bicycle spaces and 40 visitor bicycle parks.

&nbsp;

Harridan is a family-owned developer and part of the Holmwood Highgate Group, with more than three decades of development activity across South East Queensland. Its portfolio spans residential, commercial and industrial property, with current residential projects including Riverbank on Byron in Bulimba, Esperance Residences in Carina and The Precinct at Kinross Road in Thornlands.

Wooloongabba has been popular for apartment developers, particularly since the announcement of the 2032 Summer Olympics games in Brisbane.

While there have been a lot of development applications, it has failed to materialize into real supply.&nbsp;

Sarazin has been the major player in the area. They are under construction at Murcia Residences, on the fringe of East Brisbane and Woolloongabba. They have just launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-stanley-residences-woolloongabba-8-trafalgar-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">The Stanley Residences</a>, in Woolloongabba on Trafalagar Street. They also have Nuage coming soon on the nearby <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba-qld-4102">Wellington Road</a>.

Eagle Farm

Mirvac will start construction on the latest stage of Australia’s first racecourse fronting community, Ascot Green, with the $135 million Charlton House the next instalment in the historic Eagle Farm redevelopment.&nbsp;

In a bid to address a significant shortage of new apartments in the city, work will begin on the 14-level apartment building, with Mirvac working with Eagle Farm Racecourse owner, Brisbane Racing Club (BRC), just three months after its launch to market, with more than $70 million of apartments already sold - predominately to local buyers.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=179497]

According to new research released in Place Advisory’s Spring 2022 Apartment report, it is estimated Brisbane currently has just two months of new apartment supply, with deferred projects exacerbating supply and demand pressures.&nbsp;

Reinforcing its confidence in Brisbane, Charlton House is the third apartment project that ASX-listed developer, Mirvac currently has under construction in the city, delivering housing diversity in some of the most sought-after inner ring precincts.&nbsp;

Mirvac General Manager Residential Queensland, Warwick Bible, said the start of construction was a major milestone for the community, following the fast-tracking of Charlton House to meet demand.&nbsp;

“Our buyers have shown strong confidence in Charlton House and, to start construction just three months after launch, shows we echo that confidence in this development and the broader Brisbane apartment market,” he said.

“This milestone gives our purchasers certainty with the knowledge their apartment is being delivered by Mirvac that designs, masterplans and manages its projects every step of the way and which has done so for over 50 years."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=194813]

“The start of construction also signals the next phase of urban renewal for the historic Eagle Farm, giving more people the opportunity to live in this fantastic location,” he added.

Charlton House marks the third stage of Mirvac’s Ascot Green community, part of Brisbane Racing Club’s $1.5 billion masterplanned redevelopment of Eagle Farm, which will see the precinct transformed with luxury apartments, offices, a new shopping and dining precinct and a range of entertainment options.&nbsp;

Mirvac has already completed and sold-out Tulloch House and Ascot House at Ascot Green, with both buildings situated directly on Eagle Farm Racecourse, in the blue-chip suburb of Ascot.&nbsp;

Charlton House will comprise 113 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, and a limited collection of three and four-bedroom villas, with apartments sold from $499,000 through to more than $3 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=194811]

&nbsp;“Given about a third of Ascot is racecourse, there is very limited supply in this highly sought-after precinct, with demand only set to grow leading up to the 2032 Olympics, with the precinct’s proximity to facilities like the Athlete’s Village in Hamilton and Brisbane Indoor Sports Stadium in Albion," continued Bible.

“Larger apartments designed for owner-occupiers are in extremely high demand in Brisbane’s inner- ring, and buyers have been quick to secure their place at Charlton House as a result, with our premium apartments among the first to sell.”&nbsp;

Brisbane Racing Club Chairman, Neville Bell OAM, said the start of construction is an important stage in the BRC Masterplan.&nbsp;

“The commencement of Charlton House is the third stage of our partnership with Mirvac, undoubtedly a significant milestone in working towards the completion of the Brisbane Racing Club’s $1.5 billion Masterplan,” he said.

 
“Our Masterplan has set the standard for the redevelopment of ancillary land owned by race clubs around the country, in doing so we are safeguarding our legacy and relevance as a club for years to come."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=194814]

“Eagle Farm Racecourse is the heart of the Ascot and we look forward to welcoming the residents of the 113 residences to our community,” Bell added.&nbsp;

Bible said Charlton House, like previous Ascot Green releases, was popular with downsizers, although its diverse apartment offering appeals to a range of buyers, including young professionals and families.&nbsp;

“The location of Charlton House sets it apart. It is extremely rare – unique, even - to live in an inner-city apartment surrounded by 50 hectares of green space, including the racecourse,” he said.

“The tranquillity the location offers, close to the CBD, restaurants, cafes, shops and the airport, is attracting purchasers across the board."&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=179498]

Designed by Mirvac Design, Charlton House features a rooftop sanctuary with a private dining room taking in Brisbane city skyline views. It also features intimate lounge areas and extensive sub-tropical landscaping, with a gym and resort-style pool on the ground level overlooking the racecourse.&nbsp;

Charlton House joins the $197 million Quay luxury riverside apartments, along with Mirvac’s first QLD build-to-rent project, the $270 million dual-tower LIV Anura, which are both under construction in the $1 billion Brisbane River development, Waterfront Newstead.

Mirvac Construction, the Group’s dedicated construction arm, is building all three projects, with Charlton House to create more than 300 direct and indirect construction jobs over its 21-month build program, anticipated for completion in mid-2024.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=108351]

Reinforcing its confidence in Brisbane, Charlton House is the third apartment project ASX-listed developer Mirvac currently has under construction in the city, delivering housing diversity in some of the most sought-after inner ring precincts.

Construction begins on latest Ascot apartment stage in Mirvac’s Eagle Farm redevelopment

Mirvac has officially launched the latest residential offering at its&nbsp;racecourse-fronting Ascot Green community in Brisbane.

Charlton House, which has been fast tracked due to sales success in the first two stages, Tulloch House&nbsp;and Ascot House, will have over 100 apartments across its 13 levels.

There will be&nbsp;one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, as well as a a limited collection of three and four-bedroom villas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=194811]

Two-bedroom and two-bathroom apartments start from $755,000, while the four premium villas, integrated into the first levels of Charlton House, are a first for the Ascot Green community.

Designed by Mirvac Design, Charlton House also features a rooftop sanctuary, with a private dining room taking in Brisbane city skyline views, lounge areas and extensive subtropical landscaping, along with a gym and resort-style pool on the ground level overlooking the racecourse.

Charlton House is the third building to be released by Mirvac at Ascot Green and is part of Brisbane Racing Club&rsquo;s $1.2 billion masterplan redevelopment of Eagle Farm, to include apartments, commercial offices, a new shopping and dining precinct and a range of entertainment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=194814]

Brisbane City Council approved the development application for the $131 million, 13-level building in late December.

Mirvac General Manager, Residential Queensland, Warwick Bible said the group had worked to bring the apartments to market as soon as possible, with enquiries continuing to race in following the sell-out of its second building, Tulloch House, in July last year.

&ldquo;There were a number of people who missed out on securing their place in Tulloch House who have been eagerly awaiting this next release and we&rsquo;ve continued to field new enquiries from those wanting to join the community,&rdquo; he said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=194813]

&ldquo;Demand for quality apartments in blue-chip Brisbane locations such as this have grown exponentially over the past six months, and we anticipate apartments in Charlton House will sell quickly as a result.&rdquo;

Bible said about 60 per cent of buyers in the first two stages &ndash; Ascot House and Tulloch House &ndash; had moved from the directly surrounding suburbs such as Ascot, Hamilton and Clayfield, with Charlton House expected to be no different.

&nbsp;

Charlton House&#39;s design has been guided by the &lsquo;Buildings that Breathe&rsquo; vision and Brisbane&rsquo;s subtropical climate. Its architects describe it as a re-imagining of the classic Queenslander and Ascot aesthetic, with light-filled spaces that can be opened and closed to capture sunshine and breezes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108351 project_image_fid=179497]

&ldquo;The apartments and villas blend timeless refinement, style and sophistication, with lush greenery and a comforting feeling of home, which is a cornerstone of the design,&rdquo; Bible added.

&ldquo;More than 50 hectares of green space, including the racecourse, lay at the doorstep, giving residents the feeling they are in their own private sanctuary, while the Brisbane CBD and so many fantastic restaurants, cafes and shops are close by. It is the epitome of the best of both worlds.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=108351]

Two-bedroom and two-bathroom apartments start from $755,000, while the four premium villas, integrated into the first levels of Charlton House, are a first for the Ascot Green community.


Mirvac launch Charlton House, the third release in Ascot Green masterplan

The ASX-listed developer Mirvac has secured a sell-out of its Tulloch House apartment development, part of their wider $1.2 billion&nbsp;masterplan alongside Eagle Farm Racecourse in Brisbane&#39;s Ascot.

The 84 one, two and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses in Tulloch House sold for between $450,000 to over $2 million. There has been $18 million worth of sales in 2021.

Construction&nbsp;is well advanced,&nbsp;with the eight-level building&nbsp;recently topping out,&nbsp;with work being finalised on the interior joinery fit-out, balconies and the expansive roof terrace.

The apartments feature panoramic views north across the 50 hectare green space of the heritage racecourse and expansive views to the Brisbane city skyline to the south.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27704 project_image_fid=71319]

Residents are expected to move in at the end of 2021.

Ascot Green is part of Brisbane Racing Club&rsquo;s $1.2 billion masterplan redevelopment of Eagle Farm, which will include apartments, commercial offices, dining, services and a range of entertainment options.

Mirvac has started taking registrations of interest ahead of the launch of the third building in Ascot Green, anticipated to launch either later this year or early next.

Mirvac Head of Residential Stuart Penklis said its reputation as a highly desirable place to live had driven demand for the final apartments in Tulloch House.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27704 project_image_fid=152793]

&ldquo;While all Tulloch House apartments have now been secured, we have continued to field interest from those wanting a place in the community, prompting us to expedite the timeline for our next chapter of Ascot Green,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;We are in the design phase and working to bring this release to the market as soon as possible. While the finer details are being finalised, it will follow in the footsteps of our first two stages, Ascot House and Tulloch House, delivering high quality apartments to this one-of-a-kind location.&rdquo;

Penklis said&nbsp;the rare opportunity to live close to the Brisbane CBD and next to 50 hectares of green open space appealed to buyers.

&ldquo;This is a unique location that can&rsquo;t be replicated elsewhere in the city,&rdquo; he said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27556 project_image_fid=71309]

&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve found the opportunity to live with so much green space at the doorstep has been a significant drawcard for buyers, including young professionals, families and downsizers.

&ldquo;As the first residential project of its kind on a racecourse in Australia, we have the opportunity to set the bar for this style of development and have paid careful attention to embracing the historic elements of the site, with the masonry brickwork carrying through the design.

&ldquo;The upcoming building will continue to reflect its surrounds, with a new take on fa&ccedil;ade, interiors and apartment layouts that will deliver a first for the precinct, benefiting the residents who call these truly remarkable apartments home.&rdquo;

Mirvac fast-tracks Eagle Farm Racecourse community following sell-out of Tulloch House, Ascot apartments

<html><body>
Ascot House - the first stage of Mirvac's Ascot Green community fronting Eagle Farm Racecourse in Brisbane - has sold-out, with buyers now rushing to secure the final apartments in sister building, Tulloch House.

The 90 apartments in the completed Ascot House, which features a rooftop terrace with views across 50 hectares of green space and Brisbane city, achieved prices ranging from $460,000 to over $3 million, and were predominantly purchased by local downsizers.

Neighbouring <a href="/buildings/ascot-green-by-mirvac-tulloch-house-61-st-leger-way-ascot-4007">Tulloch House</a> (pictured below), which has 84 one, two and three bedroom apartments, is under construction, with more than 70 per cent already sold and remaining apartments priced from $490,000.

Mirvac head of residential Stuart Penklis said the sell-out of Ascot House and continued strong sales at Tulloch House were a show of demand for a 'green change.'

"Many of our purchasers say they have chosen Ascot Green because it's like living alongside extensive parkland, with restaurants, cafes and shops within walking distance," he said.

"They enjoy the green open space and peace and quiet in a convenient location, and they love the vibrancy and excitement of the precinct coming alive on race days, with a front row seat to all the action from our rooftop terrace and track-facing pool deck.

"These exclusive resident amenities are just a small part of what residents will have at their doorstep as Brisbane Racing Club's $1.2 billion redevelopment of the racecourse precinct is realised, with additional retail and dining, retirement living, aged care, commercial offices and medical services to be delivered over the coming years.

"We've had a steady run of sales throughout 2020, with a lot of downsizers viewing the changes the year brought as an opportunity to rethink their lifestyle, with a view towards lower maintenance living.

"There’s also been strong interest from upgraders, with many recognising the relative affordability of an apartment at Ascot Green when considering the median home price in Ascot is over $1 million.

"The fact Ascot House is complete and ready to move in to was another bonus, with buyers pleased to be able to inspect and immediately move in to their new apartment, while Tulloch House purchasers have been reassured by the quality of the design and build."

The final apartment in Ascot House was secured by Jan Goakes, who also owns Sa Vida Shoes on neighbouring high street, Racecourse Road.

Ms Goakes said when she was looking to downsize from her Hamilton home, her clients suggested she visit Ascot Green, just a short stroll from her store. 

She was immediately impressed with the quality of the apartments which were 'unlike anything else in the area.'

"I found out about Ascot Green from a couple of my clients who had great things to say about the community, so I decided to go and have a look for myself and it ticked all my boxes," she said.

"I was absolutely impressed with the quality of the build and when I found my apartment, I just fell in love with it and decided it was the one for me. The moment I walked in, I knew it was unique.

"It’s large, there is lots of natural light, you look out onto green spaces and there’s a beautiful breeze facing north.

"I really don’t think you would find anything like it anywhere else."

Ms Goakes said she was pleased to be staying close to her store, in a convenient, tight-knit neighbourhood.

"One of the reasons I’ve loved living in Hamilton and am now moving to Ascot is the convenience - you can walk to so many places, so it’s just a great lifestyle," she said.

" I do know a lot of people who live in the area and just love being part of the community. It’s a fabulous place to work and to live. You have a sense of pride and companionship."

Mirvac head of residential Stuart Penklis said the sell-out of Ascot House and continued strong sales at Tulloch House were a show of demand for a 'green change.'

Mirvac has won the right to redevelop Brisbane Racing Club's $750 million Eagle Farm Residential Precinct.
The 10-year Ascot project forms part of the Eagle Farm Master Plan which will provide more than 1200 trackside apartments, along with retail and commercial buildings.
Mirvac's Group executive for residential John Carfi said the business was thrilled to have been selected as the Brisbane Racing Club's development partner at such an iconic Brisbane location.
It is expected the BRC will maintain ownership of the land.
BRC Chairman Neville Bell said Mirvac had been selected after intense interest in the joint venture opportunity that will deliver more than 1200 apartments on land around Queensland’s most famous racecourse.
“The Eagle Farm Residential Precinct is the centre piece of a $1.2 billion Master Plan that will transform this historic area of land around Eagle Farm and Doomben racecourses,” Mr Bell said.
The eight residential towers will be on the southeastern corner of the Eagle Farm.
He said construction was expected to start in 2016 as BRC has already gained full planning approval for the project.
“We spent five years gaining planning approval so we have already made significant progress towards this residential precinct,” Mr Bell said.
On behalf of the BRC, Knight Frank commenced an international expression of interest campaign in September 2014, generating more than 100 enquiries from interested parties.
The BRC created a shortlist featuring Mirvac, Leighton Properties and Walker Corporation. Their final bids were submitted on April 10. 
The project is north-facing and looks out over 50 hectares of land that will never be built out. It provides exceptional views to the city and over the Hamilton reach of the Brisbane River and out to the airport and Moreton Bay.
The BRC engaged property specialist Jeff Kahler 18 months ago as General Manager – Property to deliver the Master Plan. 
The BRC has awarded Mirvac Preferred Developer status until June 30 at which time the two groups are expected to sign binding documentation and proceed with the development.
Mirvac’s Group Executive Residential, John Carfi, said Mirvac was "thrilled" to be selected as the development partner.
“Mirvac will draw on its expertise and strong track record of delivering major residential developments and we look forward to working closely with the Brisbane Racing Club on the next phase of this exciting project,” he said.
