<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> has lodged plans for a $750 million, three-tower mixed-use precinct that would complete the long-running redevelopment of Carlton's former Carlton United Breweries site.

The proposal at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/185-195-queensberry-street-carlton-vic-3053">46-78 Bouverie Street and 185-195 Queensberry Street</a> spans a 6,468 sqm site, the last remaining undeveloped parcels within the former brewery's 2007 masterplan.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the development will comprise two purpose-built student accommodation towers and a third build-to-sell apartment tower above a shared commercial podium and basement.

Across the three towers, SP Setia is proposing 606 build-to-sell apartments and 1,499 student accommodation units containing 2,009 beds.

The apartments will sit in the tallest tower, which will rise nearly 200m and 55 storeys. It will become&nbsp;one of the more substantial new build-to-sell apartment projects at the northern edge of Melbourne's CBD.

The apartment mix is weighted toward smaller inner-city product, with 188 studios, 206 one-bedroom apartments, 192 two-bedroom apartments and 20 three-bedroom apartments

<img alt="First look: SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8271bc87-1b0a-41b7-ac73-a425ee375261" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/3_2.png?VersionId=G4lw23o90B1boX4k4dj7rdz2ZEajS9wy" />

Part of the precinct will be a large-scale&nbsp;3,684 sqm supermarket and a further 2,198 sqm of speciality retail, creating close to 5,900 sqm of new commercial space within the precinct.

But one of the biggest components of the proposal is what sits between the buildings.

Around 4,650 sqm, or roughly 72 per cent of the site, will be publicly accessible open space, incorporating plazas, pedestrian connections, landscaped laneways and retail spill-out areas.

The ground plane is intended to finally complete pedestrian connections envisaged when the CUB masterplan was first approved nearly two decades ago, stitching together Victoria Street, Queensberry Street, Bouverie Street and Swanston Street through the former brewery precinct.

Urbis said the development would "complete the CUB precinct", with the public realm providing important north-south and east-west connections through what is currently the final undeveloped portion of the masterplanned site.

SP Setia is also exploring a new linear park within the Bouverie Street road reserve, with the concept to be developed further with the City of Melbourne through the planning process.

The proposal is being pursued through the Victorian Government's Development Facilitation Program under Clause 53.23 for significant residential development with affordable housing.

The planning report acknowledges the proposed heights exceed those contemplated under the original Comprehensive Development Plan and masterplan, but argues the built-form context has changed considerably over the past two decades.

Urbis said the three towers would instead create a stepped transition between Carlton and the Hoddle Grid, rising progressively from the 94.1-metre Tower One along the Queensberry Street edge to the 199.44-metre Tower Three closer to the established CBD-scale buildings to the south.

<img alt="SP Setia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e885a07a-592c-40fc-bf82-e6dbaf32da54" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.52.24%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7s_ErUkSKAdY1mAWp3GRZgMNCGtwhk5m" />

SP Setia plans to deliver the development across three stages.

Stage One would deliver the basement, podium and retail areas for the entire precinct alongside the first student tower. Tower Two would follow in Stage Two, before the 606-apartment Tower Three is delivered as the final stage.

If approved and delivered, the project would close out a redevelopment process that has been underway since the former brewery masterplan was approved in 2007, adding more than 2,600 student beds and apartments to a precinct already home to Swanston Central, the Barak Building, RMIT Design Hub and several large student accommodation developments.

SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct

Melbourne developer Lowe Living is seeking to add to its growing bayside apartment pipeline, filing plans for a boutique eight-residence development in tightly held Middle Park.

Lowe Living, which has built much of its development portfolio across Melbourne's affluent bayside and south-east suburbs, is behind the plans for the 730 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/123-125-erskine-street-middle-park-vic-3206">123-125 Erskine Street</a>, just off Armstrong Street and within the Armstrong Street Neighbourhood Activity Centre.

The developer is seeking approval for a five-storey residential building above two basement levels, with just eight large-format apartments and 18 car spaces.

“This is a deliberately very different proposition for us,"&nbsp;Tim Lowe, Co-Founder of Lowe Living, said.

"Eight residences is exceptionally boutique, but that's precisely what this site calls for.

“There is a strong community in Middle Park and the surrounding suburbs who have spent decades building a life here. They no longer want the maintenance of a large period home, but they aren't prepared to compromise on space, quality or location. We think there is a real opportunity to capture that hyper local market. A site like this rarely comes to market.”

<img alt="Lowe " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="875fe572-0f14-4d90-9e11-55b28dd07731" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.42.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=GDNQRv9BfpR9r1zkZ5UDyUM4ZvpIksut" />

The low-density proposal has been designed by Cera Stribley and is being progressed through the Victorian Government's Great Design Fast Track pathway, having already secured eligibility from the Minister for Planning.

The Office of the Victorian Government Architect supported its eligibility after finding the proposal demonstrated consistency with the program's seven design principles, while the project's financial feasibility has also been independently confirmed by Invest Victoria.

The project is targeting the downsizer market, with the planning documents describing the homes as larger-format residences and noting the two penthouses could otherwise have been configured as four separate apartments.

<img alt="Lowe 2" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="60ab0987-2da6-4175-adac-315dcf6053c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.15%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=bOCPH0B2MFwlmaRW.TTCF9TzyifgVoQI" />

The site has dual frontage to Erskine Street and Canterbury Place and currently comprises a collection of commercial buildings used as offices, including a former heritage bakehouse, a former stable, a later gabled addition and a central courtyard.

It sits within the Commercial 1 Zone and the Armstrong Street Commercial Precinct heritage overlay, with the existing property classified as a contributory heritage place.

Heritage has subsequently played a significant role in Cera Stribley's design.

The front section of the former bakehouse facing Erskine Street will be retained, including its return walls, street-facing hipped roof and chimneys, while the Erskine Street façade and part of the western return wall of the former stable will also be incorporated into the new development.

Levels four and five will be set back five metres from the retained stable façade, while bricks removed through demolition are proposed to be salvaged and reused within the new building where possible.

<img alt="Lowe 3" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e97927a9-a2de-4a0f-83b6-65451238abfa" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.06%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VR44AChLrX9q1XPB9GvVQV.ALXXbe4gC" />

Rather than presenting as a single five-storey building to Erskine Street, Cera Stribley has broken the development into a series of distinct forms.

A three-storey infill element will sit between the retained bakehouse and stable façades, with the upper levels recessed behind the heritage fabric. Canterbury Place will similarly feature two three-storey podium forms, separated by a central pedestrian accessway, before the upper two levels step back from the street.

A pedestrian through-link will run through the centre of the project between Erskine Street and Canterbury Place, creating entrances from both sides of the site and introducing landscaping and communal areas through the ground plane.

Landscape architect Acre has designed planting across the ground level, private terraces and upper levels, including a feature canopy tree at level three and integrated planting and arbours across the level four terraces. Five existing Erskine Street trees are proposed to be retained.

Sustainability is also a significant component of the Great Design Fast Track application. The apartments are targeting an average eight-star NatHERS rating, with no residence below 6.5 stars, while the project has achieved a 75 per cent BESS score. Seven of the eight apartments are designed for cross-ventilation, with the remaining residence using mechanically assisted natural ventilation.

The plans also incorporate an 8kWp rooftop solar system, a 5,000-litre rainwater tank and infrastructure allowing future electric vehicle charging for every residence.

Lowe has a strong portfolio across Melbourne's blue-chip suburbs. They recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/jardin-house-by-lowe-living-camberwell-335-camberwell-road-camberwell-vic-3124">Jardin House by Lowe Living</a> in Camberwell, their first development in the Stonnington LGA.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dvb-projects">DVB Projects</a> is preparing to launch its second Gold Coast apartment development, with demolition now underway on the Broadbeach site as the Sydney developer moves closer to bringing the ultra-luxury project to market.

The 34-level tower at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/137-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">137 Old Burleigh Road</a> will comprise just 49 residences, ranging from half-floor apartments through to full-floor homes and a penthouse. The launch follows the strong sales performance of DVB's nearby Sea Glass development. More than half of the apartments at Sea Glass, on the other side of Broadbeach, have been snapped up, well ahead of its late 2027 completion

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2944b4be-c84e-4b54-8dc1-c712e76704c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/E02_Exterior_Street%20Level%20Entrance.jpg?VersionId=YoNig7pRdrE3HCue7sUj78LzJteeQf3H" />

The start of demolition at 137 Old Burleigh Road signals DVB Projects’ underlying confidence in the Gold Coast’s luxury beachside apartment sector.

“We see the Gold Coast as one of the most compelling lifestyle markets in Australia, particularly at the premium end where demand continues to deepen,” said Dean Brown, Managing Director of DVB.&nbsp;

“This project has been carefully designed to respond to that demand - delivering large-format residences with a level of quality, privacy and amenity that is still relatively rare in the apartment market on the beachside."

Brown says the site itself is "exceptional."

"Old Burleigh Road is one of the most tightly held beachfront strips, and opportunities to deliver a project of this scale and calibre in this location are extremely limited.”

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="398f377a-c037-455e-9250-0c5e0d84c35b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/I12_FF%20Balcony.jpg?VersionId=NwOiRWGMubR1c8wthuEfggklcja7al9." />

The project will comprise 40 half-floor residences of approximately 260 sqm, alongside eight full-floor residences spanning around 524 sqm.

A single penthouse will crown the building, featuring a private pool, barbecue area, indoor gym and dedicated entertaining spaces.

Residents will have access to a resort-style suite of amenities, including a 20-metre pool with daybeds, a gymnasium, hot and cold plunge pools, a sauna, and private residents’ lounge and dining facilities.

Sales agent Todd Matheson, of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/pezet-matheson">Pezet Matheson</a>, which is marketing both 137 Old Burleigh Road and Sea Glass, said 137 Old Burleigh Road would address a clear gap in the market for genuine luxury products.

“There are very few opportunities on the Gold Coast where buyers can secure a residence of this size and quality in a new building,” Matheson said.

“What we’re seeing is a growing cohort of downsizers and interstate buyers who still want space - they’re not willing to compromise on living area, entertaining or finishes.

“This project has been designed with that buyer in mind. It offers the scale of a home, combined with the convenience and security of apartment living, in one of the coast’s most desirable positions.”

Located on a 1,156 sqm site one block from the beachfront, the development will replace an ageing walk-up building and is expected to contribute to the ongoing transformation of the Old Burleigh Road strip into one of the Gold Coast’s most prestigious residential corridors.

With the development moving into the delivery phase, 137 Old Burleigh Road is slated to hit the market later this year.

DVB Projects to launch second Broadbeach apartment tower as demolition commences

<a data-end="327" data-is-only-node="" data-start="250" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/norus-projects" rel="noopener" target="_new">Norus Developments</a> has lodged plans for a new apartment development in Clayton that would add further momentum to the suburb's emerging Green Street corridor.

Plans have been lodged for the consolidated site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1359-1365-centre-road-clayton-vic-3168">1359-1365 Centre Road</a>, where Norus is seeking approval for 218 apartments across a 12-storey apartment building designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/life-architecture-and-urban-design">Life Architecture</a>.

The proposal sits within the Clayton Major Activity Centre at the threshold of the planned Green Street corridor, a landscaped pedestrian connection intended to improve links through the precinct towards Clayton Railway Station.

The development would replace the site's existing collection of low-scale residential and commercial buildings with a single consolidated building, introducing significantly greater housing density to this part of Centre Road.

A retail tenancy is proposed at ground level to activate the Centre Road frontage, accompanied by transparent street interfaces and landscaping intended to create a more pedestrian-focused edge to the development.

<img alt="First look: Norus Developments plans landscape-led apartment project for Clayton’s emerging Green Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0a5a763a-d9e9-4253-af2f-88008de27ebf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Clayton%20a.png?VersionId=S2WJJbat1XVkZwB9SnYtygirXgWHiklX" />

The building has been designed with stepped massing and upper-level setbacks to manage its transition towards surrounding residential properties. The planning report describes the approach as one that integrates the building into the landscape rather than treating landscaping as a secondary element.

"A strong landscape and public realm strategy underpins the proposal," Urbis states in the planning report.

"Public benefits include an affordable housing contribution, a new pocket park, generous landscaped setbacks, deep soil planting and integrated Water Sensitive Urban Design."

The report adds that these elements are intended to create "a permeable, pedestrian-focused ground plane that enhances walkability, supports urban cooling and reinforces the emerging Green Street character."

Biophilic and passive design principles extend through the residential levels, with planting, daylight, natural ventilation and views towards landscaped areas forming part of the amenity strategy.

Parking would be concentrated away from the public realm, with 145 car spaces proposed from the rear laneway rather than dominating the Centre Road frontage.

The proposal follows an extensive pre-application process with the City of Monash. Three formal meetings were held between the project team and Council from December 2025 to March 2026, with the scheme evolving through several concept iterations before the current design was lodged.

The project arrives as Clayton prepares for substantial change around its established activity centre and the wider Suburban Rail Loop precinct. Its position on Centre Road places the development within an existing concentration of shops, services and public transport, while the Green Street connection is intended to strengthen pedestrian access towards Clayton Railway Station.

Launch Alert: Meriton launch Gold Coast's tallest apartment towers, Cypress Palms

There's no slowing down in the prestige sector of the market on the Gold Coast.

FARO Broadbeach, the joint venture between&nbsp;<a href="/developers/bottega-property-group">Bottega Property Group</a> and <a href="/developers/5point-projects-pty-ltd">5Point</a>, has seen its penthouse sell for over $10 million, selling for $30,000 per sqm, a record for an off-beach apartment development.

The sale took the luxury development at 123 Old Burleigh Road to 50 per cent sold, with <a href="/news/qld/faro-broadbeach-secures-15-million-in-sales-following-christmas-launch">$15 million worth of apartments sold within the first week of marketing</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31666 project_image_fid=246696]

The $80 million <a href="/new-apartments/faro-broadbeach-123-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach">FARO</a>, comprising just 15 apartments just one row back from the Broadbeach sand, is a redesign and relaunch of the former 123OBR project which Bottega was marketing before COVID hit.

Designed by <a href="/architects/plus-architecture">Plus Architecture</a>, FARO will home 11 full-floor, three-bedroom apartments, three five-bedroom sub-penthouses, and a sprawling three-level penthouse spread across the top three levels of the 21-level building.

The residences at FARO are a rare collection of full-floor homes, characterised by generous, curated interiors defined by relaxed textures and opulent finishes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31666 project_image_fid=246689]

All FARO residents will enjoy a range of premium on-site amenities on the first-floor recreation terrace including a magnesium pool, private lounges, gymnasium, cabana, outdoor barbecue and entertaining area, sauna, lockers as well as a pet wash and surfboard wash.

FARO Broadbeach is positioned within easy reach of Broadbeach’s many open spaces, including Federation Park, Victoria Park and Kurrawa Park, and close to the Oceanway pedestrian and cycling path which spans the central Gold Coast beachfront.

Chevron Island is set to welcome one of its most boutique new developments to date with the launch of Sherpa's Perspective Helm.

<a href="/new-apartments/perspective-helm?referrer=Perspective%20Helm">Perspective Helm</a>, at&nbsp;107 Stanhill Drive, will comprise just 10 apartments on a north-facing riverfront site that will feature several marina berths with direct access to The Broadwater and the ocean.

<img alt="Perspective Helm harbouring a new lifestyle in Chevron Island - view" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c0818017-a428-4ad6-bc68-095b067f16a0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/H4746STA-04.jpg?VersionId=is3XrwWSxYrqVoYNj1Z4ECk.k0P3tNbH" />

“We are thrilled to have been granted approval to proceed with this project that we believe will deliver a unique lifestyle that’s better than beachfront,” said Daniel Clarke, Managing Director of Sherpa Property Group.

The project has garnered considerable interest from local potential buyers, with expressions of interest already being received through a waitlist, despite the project yet to begin selling.&nbsp;

“We’ve received a great deal of local pre-launch enquiries into the project," Clarke added.

Sherpa reveal Perspective Helm, luxury Chevron Island apartments

Ombré at Robina continues to break with tradition in its apartment designs, delivering two living spaces in its one and two-bedroom floor plans to provide unmatched space and flexibility, achieving more than &nbsp;$40 million in sales in just four weeks.&nbsp;

The <a href="/new-apartments/ombre-robina-46-scottsdale-drive-robina">elevated development</a>, located at 46 Scottsdale Drive, features 95 one, two and three-bedroom apartments alongside private resident amenities and integrated retail and commercial spaces.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143341 project_image_fid=251415]

<a href="/developers/immerse-projects">Immerse Projects</a>&nbsp;Founder and Managing Director John Kearney said the second living space in Ombré’s one and two-bedroom apartments opened a world of opportunities for residents.&nbsp;

“Typically, one-bedroom apartments appeal to investors rather than owner-occupiers and feature little in the way of space and liveability,” Kearney said.&nbsp;

“We have designed <a href="/new-apartments/ombre-robina-46-scottsdale-drive-robina">Ombré</a> with the local market in mind and in doing so, challenged ourselves to rethink one-bedroom apartment design - the result is an additional, spacious living area, that delivers functionality and flexibility, without compromising on price.&nbsp;

“This second living space is located directly at the entrance to the apartment, drawing in extra light and a feeling of openness. Connecting to the kitchen, this extra space has a range of applications to make it truly &nbsp;purposeful, including a media room, work-from-home space, or guest bedroom.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143341 project_image_fid=276626]

With one-bedroom, two living area floorplans ranging from 84 to 96sqm, and from 123 to 135sqm in the two-bedroom, two living area apartments, Kearney said the design transformed apartments into true homes.&nbsp;

“The homeliness and architectural style of Ombré has been warmly received by buyers, who are drawn to its character, considered textures and thoughtful landscaping,” Mr Kearney said.&nbsp;

“Since the project’s launch in early March, we have fielded more than 1,000 enquiries and more than &nbsp;$40 million in sales, with strong interest in these second living spaces.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143341 project_image_fid=251416]

Kearney said leading contract builder <a href="/builders/greyburn">Greyburn</a>, of which he is also Managing Director, had been appointed to deliver the project.&nbsp;

“Greyburn is a seasoned <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>-based contract builder with more than 35 years of experience,” he said.&nbsp;

“Having recently delivered <a href="/new-apartments/robina-grand-residences-8-waterfront-place-robina">Robina Grand</a>, the team knows the local market well and are able to draw on their trusted networks, expertise, and capacity to deliver.&nbsp;

“Partnering with an established and reputable builder like Greyburn allows us to ensure alignment between &nbsp;the development and construction and instil unwavering confidence in completion for our purchasers.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143341 project_image_fid=251417]

Construction of Ombré is expected to begin later this month. The project is being marketed by <a href="/project-marketer/ashwin-property-solutions">Ashwin Property</a> and the onsite Sales Display is now open.&nbsp;

Located close to major retail, education and employment centres and well connected to the Gold Coast’s beaches, Mr Kearney said Ombré would give its residents endless opportunities to live life in their own way.&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, Ombré features a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments. Private resident amenities include a residents’ lounge, function room, games room, spacious pool and landscaped outdoor spaces. One bedroom, and two living area prices, start at $749,000.&nbsp;

Currently in the construction phase of their luxury Palm Beach apartment development Ophira, builder-developer <a href="/builders/5point-projects">5Point Projects</a> has locked in its next project in the southern Gold Coast.

They're not straying far, staying in <a href="/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a>, and on the beachfront. They've paid $15.6 million for a double-block of 824 sqm at 171-173 Jefferson Lane, a block that offers 20 metres of absolute beach frontage.

It's only a few doors down from&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/ophira-105-107-jefferson-lane-palm-beach">Ophira</a>, where apartments have been selling for an average of $7 million.

<img alt="171 and 173 Jefferson Lane Palm Beach" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4fe32a74-8704-45b8-b4ed-82331f12795c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/IMG_1640.jpg?VersionId=MNKDShB9Hhz6de.bJnv_W5.SjiBOsv9O" />

Damian Dove, Managing Director of 5Points Projects, said the latest purchase was part of the company’s ongoing belief in Palm Beach as one of the Gold Coast’s prestige beachfront hotspots.

“We are thrilled to be continuing our journey in Palm Beach after the success of Ophira which has captured strong interest from downsizers wanting to live on the beachfront,” Dove said.

“The opportunity to continue building upon the legacy of our past projects and the current Ophira development, and knowing that we will further contribute to the flourishing tapestry of this great community is very exciting”.

Dove said 5Point Projects was currently working up plans for the site but confirmed a boutique luxury apartment project in line with our brand was in the mix.

“We’re working with our architects and planners to create something special for the site and we hope to release these soon."

The next project is expected to launch later this year.

There are only two apartments left in the eight-apartment Ophira. Construction is well underway with basement works now completed. That's expected to be completed in mid-2025.

“We are passionate about creating spaces that resonate with the unique essence of Palm Beach while meeting the evolving needs of modern living”, Dove added.&nbsp;

5Point doubledown in Palm Beach with $15.6 million beachfront acquisition

Busy Gold Coast developer Sherpa Property Group&nbsp;is continuing to expand its residential property pipeline.

Following the kick-off of construction of their luxury Palm Beach apartment development <a href="/new-apartments/perspective-nexus">Perspective Nexus</a>, and the reveal of their latest project Perspective Helm on Chevron Island, <a href="/developers/sherpa-property-group">Sherpa</a>&nbsp;has settled on another site.

They've secured 45 Labrador Street in <a href="/new-apartments/labrador-qld-4215">Labrador</a>, a&nbsp;915 sqm block they bought for $1.5 million where they're planning a small lot subdivision.

<img alt="Sherpa Property Group acquires prime site in Labrador - street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9678343f-e365-478e-bfae-a5b9623d4ae8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/45%20Labrador%20Street%20zoom.jpg?VersionId=gjAKW5c3sOJWuLrutkRTAIwK5h.4CmCt" />

The site, located within Labrador's highly sought-after Golden Triangle, will home Sherpa's collection of brand-new beach homes on the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>, dubbed Freedom Vantage.

Boasting a 29.5-metre frontage to Labrador Street, the site has immediate access to the <a href="/new-apartments/broadwater-qld-4380">Broadwater</a>, just a short 150-metre walk away down the locals-only laneway, offering potential residents a coveted beachside lifestyle.

The area is also well-connected to popular establishments such as Charis Seafoods, The Grand Hotel, and various dining and shopping options.

Its strategic location near the CBD and the suburb's transformation, including its burgeoning café scene and the emergence of upscale boutiques, bars, and restaurants, has attracted developers and residents alike.&nbsp;

Sherpa is gearing up to launch <a href="/new-apartments/perspective-helm">Perspective Helm</a>, their luxury <a href="/new-apartments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island apartment development</a> of just 10 large-scale residences. They start from $3.5 million.

Sherpa settle on prime Labrador site

Just two weeks after its official public launch, La Belle&nbsp;Palm Beach, the new luxury apartment development by serial Gold Coast apartment developer Marquee Development Partners, has netted over $100 million in sales.

In a testament to the ongoing strength of the southern Gold Coast market, <a href="/new-apartments/la-belle-palm-beach-332-the-esplanade-palm-beach">La Belle Palm Beach</a> has become the city’s fastest-selling project of 2024, with sales prices ranging from $2.5 million to $7 million.

Marquee Director Jacques Winterburn said the sales reflected an unyielding demand for the rare, absolute beachfront apartments in <a href="/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> from predominantly southern <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> locals.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102340 project_image_fid=273589]

"It's a remarkable outcome for Marquee, our 11th and most impressive project to date," Winterburn said.

"The response has been overwhelming but expected. To receive over 1000 inquiries before launch underscores the considerable demand for this project and location."

Winterburn said the&nbsp;majority of buyers have emerged from the Palm Beach and southern Gold Coast, with some from <a href="/new-apartments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a>, <a href="/new-apartments/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a> and <a href="/new-apartments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a>.

Significant interest has also been observed from buyers in <a href="/new-apartments/burleigh-heads-qld-4220">Burleigh Heads</a>, with many looking to transition from esplanade-front properties to absolute beachfront residences in the serene northern Palm Beach area while still staying connected to Burleigh.

“Buyers have loved the layouts, uniqueness of the absolute beachfront position and the amenities package reflective of the large beachfront site – more than 3,300 sqm with over 40 metres of absolute beachfrontage - which we are spending more than $10 million enhancing with world-class amenities."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102340 project_image_fid=273595]

&nbsp;

Many purchasers are local business owners downsizing or for use as lock and leave apartments.

“Interestingly, a number of purchasers work within the property and construction sector which shows how unique the project is and exemplifies the quality Marquee delivers,” Winterburn said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102340 project_image_fid=273593]

La Belle Palm Beach will rise 14 levels and offer 75 beachfront apartments in three, four, and five-bedroom layouts.

Residences will feature living spaces ranging from 150 sqm to 680 sqm, tailored for the discerning owner-occupier.

Leveraging the expansive site, <a href="/developers/marquee">Marquee</a>&nbsp;has integrated a series of five double-storey beach homes into La Belle Palm Beach, featuring spacious living areas of up to 388 sqm.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102340 project_image_fid=273596]

La Belle Palm Beach promises a diverse array of upscale amenities, including a heated outdoor pool and spa, multiple teppanyaki dining bars, and a resident’s lounge equipped with a billiard room, bar, and large screen TV for gatherings.

The development will feature a wellness centre featuring a state-of-the-art gymnasium, yoga and Pilates room, Nordic and Infrared saunas, indoor hydrotherapy hot pool, and two cold plunge immersion baths. Complementing these features is a 5-star hotel-style lobby with Porte cochère drop off, an arrival lounge and fully equipped private offices, catering to work-from-home needs.

Construction of La Belle Palm Beach is anticipated to commence in June 2024.&nbsp;

Marquee net $100 million in sales at La Belle Palm Beach apartment development

Aniko Group has sold over 80 per cent of the apartments at their under-construction Chevron Island apartment development, Orama.

Only 21 apartments remain in the 21-level building. Priced from $1.25 million, there are a mix of two-bedroom, two-bathroom plus study configurations, as well as three-bedroom sky homes on the upper levels that are topped off by two luxury penthouses.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111898 project_image_fid=209596]

Positioned in the thriving <a href="/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a> precinct, <a href="/new-apartments/orama-chevron-island-12-16-weemala-street-chevron-island">Orama</a> offers discerning buyers well-priced luxury in a rapidly growing market. Under the leadership of George Mastrocostas, Aniko Group’s robust sales campaign has swiftly moved apartments, leaving scarce inventory remaining as downsizers flood the limited opportunities in the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> market.&nbsp;

Mastrocostas said the sales success of&nbsp;Orama reaffirms that downsizers are the primary market driving the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>’s appetite for premium living experiences.

“These remaining apartments represent a rare opportunity for buyers to secure their slice of premium living in this coveted location”.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111898 project_image_fid=240587]

Orama's rooftop amenity level includes a pool, spa, gym, yoga and Pilates room, residents' lounge with indoor and outdoor dining options, barbecue facilities, and a fully equipped business centre.

Peter Malady, sales and marketing director of Aniko Group, said their&nbsp;strategic pricing and emphasis on luxury amenities have resonated particularly well with local downsizers, who don’t just seek a residence, but a lifestyle tailored to their needs and desires.

"Orama epitomises our dedication to creating spaces where luxury seamlessly intertwines with everyday living, through meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of our buyers' preferences”.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111898 project_image_fid=209597]

Aniko Group’s in-house construction team, having completed their latest Hope Island development, are on track for a late 2025 completion date of Orama.

Aniko is currently awaiting approval for the $2 billion <a href="/new-apartments/the-landmark-mermaid-beach-14-seaview-avenue-mermaid-beach-qld-4218">The&nbsp;Landmark at Mermaid Beach</a>, their four-tower masterplan that will bring just shy of 1000 apartments to the tight Gold Coast unit market.

Orama on Chevron Island hits 80 per cent sold as construction continues

Sherpa Property Group has completed its luxury&nbsp;Mermaid Beach&nbsp;apartment development, Perspective on Albatross.

<a href="/buildings/perspective-on-albatross">Perspective on Albatross</a>, which comprises eight four-bedroom, three-bathroom apartments, is now ready for occupancy with only one ground-floor residence still available for purchase.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111484 project_image_fid=213896]

The remaining unit features an expansive outdoor terrace upgraded with a private spa, sauna, wine bar, and two fireplaces. It also includes a double lock-up garage with additional storage space.

Designed by award-winning architects <a href="/architects/hal-architects">HAL</a> and built by <a href="/builders/5point-projects">5Point Projects</a>, Perspective on Albatross features sculptural Mediterranean minimalism and a natural colour palette to create a timeless design.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111484 project_image_fid=230561]

<a href="/developers/sherpa-property-group">Sherpa Property Group</a>&nbsp;Founder Christie Leet says success in sales for Perspective on Albatross has been driven by demand from a mixture of local owner-occupiers and downsizers.

“Many of these buyers are local downsizers who have been enticed by the unique location, spectacular architecture and beautiful living spaces that take full advantage of an elevated beachside location”, Leet said.

“Notching closer to 100 per cent sold is largely due to the surge of owner-occupiers who are continuing to drive the demand for apartment living on the <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>, during a time when available stock is at an all-time low.”

Perspective on Albatross is situated just 160 metres from the beach, offering a prime location in <a href="/developments/mermaid-beach-qld-4218">Mermaid Beach</a>.&nbsp;

DD Living Managing Director David Devine says Burly has been designed in response to the premium beachfront location

“When we secured two neighbouring sites with beach frontage on The Esplanade in North Burleigh, it was apparent to us that Burly required an impeccable landmark design, and we are pleased with the result from <a href="/architects/koichi-takada-architects">Koichi Takada</a>,"&nbsp;Devine said.

“I am thrilled to see progress on site and eagerly await the milestones as it is transformed into Burly Residences over the coming years. Burly has been designed in response to the premium beachfront location - a coastal glamour that is carried through to the interiors with the very best elements of beach living blended into cosmopolitan sophistication and elegance.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134791 project_image_fid=220104]

&nbsp;

The sales of Burly Residences are being managed by <a href="/project-marketer/total-property-group">TOTAL Property Group</a>, who is fielding enquiry from both Australian and international buyers.

Victorian buyers have purchased 23 per cent of apartments sold at Burly, 13 per cent of buyers are from New South Wales, three per cent are from ACT, and 10 per cent have come from overseas.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134791 project_image_fid=220248]

“Burly Residences offers a level of amenity and apartment quality that is unmatched on the Gold Coast, and savvy buyers are recognising this as a unique opportunity in the sought-after North Burleigh location,” TOTAL Property Group Managing Director Adrian Parsons said.

“The apartments and their residential amenity are beyond anything else currently available on the market in the quieter beachfront area of North Burleigh and prestige property purchasers are responding.

“The six-star amenities DD Living is planning for this residential building are equivalent to a six-star resort hotel in the world’s most premier locations. The amenities and facilities are worldclass offering unparalleled lifestyle for the sophisticated purchaser."
