<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.

Gold Coast off the plan apartments

The Sammut name has been synonymous with property development in the Sutherland Shire for decades.

Paul Sammut started developing and building luxury houses back in the 1960s. His sons Allen and John Sammut then officially set up Sammut Developments in 1993.&nbsp;

Since then the Sammut family has been associated with over 300 residential development projects, both houses and multi-res, up and down the coast of Sydney.&nbsp;They even took their brand to Queensland, in what was arguably one of their most successful apartment developments to date.

A testament to their brand strength and recognition in the Shire, the <a href="/new-apartments/surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Surfers Paradise apartment development</a> Coast, on the dress circle <a href="/new-apartments/coast-surfers-paradise-43-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise">Garfield Terrace beachfront</a>, quickly garnered significant attention.

Within a few weeks of lodging their development application, they secured $110 million in conditional sales. More than half of the 53 apartments were spoken for, at an average sale price of more than $4.5 million. Now there's just a handful left.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101672 project_image_fid=207678]

A number of purchases came from those in Sydney who knew what Sammut had delivered locally.

Julian Sammut, the third generation Sammut and the company's chief operating officer, said the company wanted to test themselves in a different market and had been looking at sites for a while before swooping on the 1,619 sqm beachfront block in the early stages of COVID.

He said that while sales were fast, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows.

"We couldn't even get up to Queensland and transact physically on the site," Sammut recalled.

"Everything was done over the phone independently during the full lockdown."

Sammut said like any other developer at the moment, when construction prices started to rise, they got it.&nbsp;They had to adjust their pricing to what was the new reality.

"Even with prices rising, we still believed in the stock, and purchasers would understand the quality and price tag," Sammut says.

Multiplex kicked off construction of the 37-level tower in November last year, and are forecasting an early 2025 completion date.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101672 project_image_fid=207680]

Sammut admits that while they had the full belief in their product working in a different space, the reaction from the market and the speed of the success was still a surprise.

"You always think you can develop anywhere and everyone will love it, but it's not always the case. There's still a lot of beachfront development on the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> in that luxury space, so the fact Coast only has a handful of apartments left is pretty extraordinary," Sammut says.&nbsp;

While Coast out Sammut on the map in South East Queensland, their bread and butter for a number of years has been the Sutherland Shire, in particular the epicentre, <a href="/new-apartments/cronulla-nsw-2230">Cronulla</a>.

Sammut says Cronulla really does offer something nowhere else in Sydney can.

"It's the only beach in Sydney accessible by a train station. People love the fact they can be footsteps to the beach, have a great local amenity with retail and dining as well as great schools, while being a direct 40-minute train to the city."

Sammut's pipeline in Cronulla is extensive. Having predominantly developed for the high-end downsizer market, Sammut have been clever in recent years, diversifying their portfolio not by property type, but by density.

Their newest apartment development VUE, by no means high density with 112 apartments just more than the beachfront six-packs, has opened up the Sammut brand.

"VUE allowed us to offer something we haven't to a wider market for a while," Sammut says.

"It was one of the first chances first home buyers have had in a while to buy a Sammut apartment, and the one-bedrooms were snapped up, selling for around the $1.28 million mark, a huge price for a one-bedroom apartments in Cronulla."

<img alt="Vue Cronulla" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7b03eda8-f7a8-48e7-9729-1ff9e999daea" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-09%20at%208.55.34%20am.png?VersionId=VEwaXG0bDDPv69BeNlgXyl4tI.2UioGO" />

What they've done at Vue is cater for all aspects. While their more boutique stock caters for downsizers, Vue caters for a different kind of downsizer.

"Some downsizers want the privacy of being one of just two or three apartments on the beach, and have the budgets to back that up. But some want a swimming pool, gym, sauna, cafes on their doorstep, things you can't get in the luxury beachfront developments."

Vue has a large pool through the middle separating the two buildings, with a northern aspect all day to capture the sunlight. It's surrounded by cabanas, breakout areas with barbecues. There's a wellness centre with all of the trimmings including a gym, steam, sauna, even an ice plunge bath and a hot plunge. The towers will sit above extensive retail and office space, creating a new destination for Kingsway.

There's been significant interest in the two-bedroom apartments, with many young professionals who don't need to head into the city office every day, turning one of the bedrooms into an office. Sammut also designed the one-bed apartments to have study nooks to cater for the work from home trend.

A few months ago Sammut appointed Decode to build Vue, which is expected to be complete in 2025.

Sammut are continually on the look out for potential development opportunities, with the door open to more projects on the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>, and even <a href="/new-apartments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a>.

Paul Sammut started developing and building luxury houses back in the 1960s. His sons Allen and John Sammut then officially set up Sammut Developments in 1993

From coast to Coast: Sammut's evolution from Sutherland Shire to Surfers Paradise

The whole face of Southport, the waterside suburb in the north of the Gold Coast, might be about to change with a mega development site up for grabs.

Developers will be licking their lips at the massive 13,785 sqm parcel at 60 Marine Parade which has preliminary approved plans by DBI for a five-tower masterplanned precinct which could suit a range of uses including&nbsp;tourism and resort facilities, hotels, various forms of residential complexes, retail precincts, cafes, restaurants, offices, and international conference and exhibition centres.

The towers can rise as high as 335 metres. DBI's highest tower is 68 levels.

The approval timeframe for the project to be realised is four months, which means progress on the development could start early next year.

The towers, on Broadwater, will offer&nbsp;views over The Spit, Pacific Ocean and Gold Coast skyline.

Also available under the same ownership is the adjoining retail and commercial component at 1, 1A and 5 Nerang Street, Southport.

The Queensland Government and Gold Coast City Council have already granted preliminary development approval, designating it as a Priority Development Area (PDA) within the Southport Central Business District.

Canford agents Roland Evans and Angus Cottrell are selling the site in conjunction with Cushman &amp; Wakefield's Brad Hamilton and Josh Cullen.

"Rarely does a site of this size and location become available as a complete blank canvas," Evans said.

"The panoramic views and the surrounding facilities that the end development will experience are unmatched.”

Brad Hamilton of Cushman &amp; Wakefield said the development is set to become the most iconic site on the Gold Coast.

"Its strategic location, coupled with the unprecedented support from the Queensland Government and Gold Coast City Council, makes it an unparalleled investment opportunity. Given the weight of capital with appetite for mixed use / living investments, we expect high levels of interest from a multitude of different purchasers,"&nbsp;Hamilton said.

The masterplanned precinct could suit a range of uses including tourism and resort facilities, hotels, various forms of residential complexes, retail precincts, cafes, restaurants, offices, and international conference and exhibition centres.

The <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast unit market</a> continues to post impressive month-on-month growth.

Another 1.6 per cent value gain in the unit market across October marked the sixth consecutive month of plus one per cent growth,&nbsp;CoreLogic's monthly Home Value Index found.

The median unit value on the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> is now $717,000, up 3.9 per cent on the rolling quarter and 8.8 per cent over 2023.

Comparing it to the capital city markets, the median is just over $100,000 less than the <a href="/news/nsw/city-beat-october-2023-all-markets-transacting-in-the-sydney-off-the-plan-apartment-market">Sydney unit median</a> and over $100,000 more than the next most expensive capital, Melbourne.&nbsp;

Despite many suggesting the traditionally cyclical <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> market would come crashing down when people started heading back into the office and not have the ability to work remotely, the market has bucked opinion and has been one of the best performing markets in the whole country this year.

<h1>What's happening in the Gold Coast off the plan market?</h1>

The COVID-19 pandemic lit a fire under the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast property market</a>, particularly in the off the plan apartment space.

Those who bought anywhere between 2020 and 2021 are starting to see their projects complete.&nbsp;

Despite interest rates rising significantly over the last 18 months, the overwhelming majority of buyers are still settling and are just having to accept an interest rate repayment they never thought would be this high when they purchased. That's because for the last two to three years, prices have skyrocketed. Most buyers are getting their valuations coming back for their completed apartments at 30 per cent more than what they paid.

And what's more, prices haven't come down like the rest of the country. The <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast </a>has proven to be one of the most resilient markets in Australia, and the tight supply v high demand has been the contributing factor.

An interesting insight is that southern demand has continued well into 2023. Initially the southern boom, whether it was for migration purposes or an investment, started when southeners wanted to escape both the cold and the rolling lockdowns for the beach, with the ability to work from anywhere in the country at an all time high.

Now that's over, the expectation was southern interest would taper. But that's not what local agents have found.

Pezet Matheson Director Todd Matheson says southeners are still making up a large portion of both enquiry and purchases.

"Those buyers from the southern states aren't just investors looking to take advantage of the Gold Coast's tight rental yields, they're buying off the plan as a future home," Matheson says.

Southern city dwellers, as well as downsizing locals and those from Brisbane who are looking ahead to retirement, have dominated the sale of the Signature Residences at <a href="/new-apartments/lagoon-main-beach-11-23-cronin-avenue-main-beach">Lagoon Main Beach</a>, the under construction <a href="/developments/main-beach-qld-4217">Main Beach apartment development</a> by Drew Group.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=221589]

Pezet Matheson secured $43 million worth of sales in the last six weeks at <a href="/new-apartments/lagoon-main-beach-11-23-cronin-avenue-main-beach">Lagoon Main Beach</a>, the majority of whom were new buyers to the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>.

"There's been a large cohort of buyers who have come in and transacted quickly in the last month and a half," Matheson says, adding that the status of the project, and the fact it's under construction by one of the biggest and best builders in the country in Hutchisons, goes a long way in the current market.

The $390 million project, on a 4,000 sqm plus site, an amalgamation not seen since the&nbsp;1980s,&nbsp;comprises two towers of 259 apartments on the sought-after Cronin Avenue.

The two towers are called Sunrise and Sunset, each taking in either views of the Pacific Ocean or the hinterland.

<a href="/new-apartments/lagoon-main-beach-11-23-cronin-avenue-main-beach">Lagoon Main Beach</a> comes&nbsp;comes with a high-end range of amenities designed to compliment the coastal way of life. The name Lagoon stems from the lagoon-style pool oasis, with private cabanas and a heated spa, which sits between the two towers,. There's also indoor and outdoor lounges, a fitness centre, yoga deck, a business hub, storage for surfboards.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=221590]

Total Property Group are also seeing significant demand from southeners at the luxury end of the market they market in. They're marketing Royale, Jewel and Escape, and have recently launched Burly Residences, the North Burleigh apartment development by David Devine's DD Living.

Total Property Group Managing Director Adrian Parsons says however that recently the most robust enquiry at the top end has come from the local <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> and Brisbane markets.

"At this point it’s probably the strongest demographic we see," Parsons says.

They've had a strong resposne to the launch of <a href="/new-apartments/burly-residences-north-burleigh-264-268-the-esplanade-burleigh-heads">Burly Residences</a>, the Koichi Takada-designed apartment development with interiors by Mim Design.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134791 project_image_fid=223390]

"We knew the market response would be strong having sold out developments in Burleigh previously," Parsons said, adding however that North Burleigh is a little different when being compared to Burleigh Heads.

"It’s quieter and suits the owner-occupier or quiet holiday maker, footsteps from the ocean. Despite its more peaceful outlook, <a href="/new-apartments/burly-residences-north-burleigh-264-268-the-esplanade-burleigh-heads">Burly Residences</a> is also just a short stroll from the amenity at nearby Miami and Nobby Beach, presenting the best of both worlds."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134791 project_image_fid=220106]

Parsons says buyers have been attracted to the "playground of six-star amenities", which have a real focus on R&amp;R.

Residents of <a href="/new-apartments/burly-residences-north-burleigh-264-268-the-esplanade-burleigh-heads">Burly Residences</a> will have access to two floors of resort amenities, including resort-style pools set amid tropical gardens, a pool deck, and a luxury beach club.

There's also wellness facilities in the form of a gym, yoga and Pilates lounge, Peloton room, steam room and a sauna.

City Beat October 2023: Southern boom continues in Gold Coast off the plan apartment market

As construction comes toward the pointy end of their sold out <a href="/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach apartment development</a> Esplanade, veteran developer Pask Group has secured its next <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast apartment development</a> site.

They've grabbed a 1,012 sqm site at 216 Esplanade in Burleigh Heads, which came with approved plans for a luxury apartment development designed by Koichi Takada, who has put his stamp on the Burleigh Heads beachfront in recent years.

He first designed FORME's award-winning Goodwin Terrace apartment project The Norfolk, and the recently launched Isabel by Mosaic, which is just a few doors down from Pask's new project.

Nearly 18 months ago plans were filed for a 17-level tower then dubbed Palms. Just 28 half and full-floor apartments were signed off by the Gold Coast City Council in February.

<img alt="Koichi Takada back with new luxury Burleigh Heads apartment development" 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/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-30_at_2.10.44_pm.png" />

The three-bed apartments, 23 of them, will start from 205 sqm&nbsp;internally, and the five four-bedroom apartments start from 411 sqm of living space across a full floor. They will have a butler's pantry in the kitchen, a second living space/rumpus room, and high-end wine storage.

The tower will be crowned with two two-level penthouses, with the 295 sqm half floor apartments on level one, with level two set to home a huge master suite, an outdoor dining terrace with built-in barbecue kitchen, a sun deck, and a private plunge pool.

The resident amenity is located on the&nbsp;second&nbsp;level, where there will be a resort-style pool with ice bath, hot tub, two saunas, and an outdoor shower. A lounge zone will meet a barbecue space, and toward the rear of the building is a gym with an outdoor space, and a yoga studio. A three-bedroom apartment is also located on this level, with its own plunge pool in a wrap around garden.

<img alt="Koichi Takada back with new luxury Burleigh Heads apartment development" 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/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-30_at_2.17.08_pm.png" />

Takada says the development is inspired by its natural surroundings.

"216 The Esplanade is designed in homage to the coastal locale, with a sculptural form evocative of ocean waves and composed of materials that reference nature and the lifestyle aspect of Burleigh Heads," Takada wrote in the design statement in the development application.

<img alt="Koichi Takada back with new luxury Burleigh Heads apartment development" 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/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-30_at_2.17.12_pm.png" />

"The distinctive design of the building and its sculptural features are intended to position the building as a landmark in this visually prominent location and in turn as a catalyst to encourage higher quality development ion the adjoining area."

Pask, founded by Nev Pask back in 1969 and currently ran by son Dean, are also preparing to launch 250 Albert Street, a striking collection of just 23 apartments in East Melbourne.

Eden Garden Residences: Gold Coast's newest apartment development launches in Southport

Family-owned, Gold Coast property developer <a href="/developers/lacey-group">Lacey Group</a> has completed its latest residential apartment project, the $36 million The Monroe Palm Beach.

All 33 apartments over nine storeys were sold prior to <a href="/news/qld/lacey-group-appoint-hutchinsons-to-build-sold-out-gold-coast-apartment-developments-the-monroe-and-del-ray">commencement of construction by Hutchinson Builders</a>.

“We are delighted to have delivered yet another collection of high-quality residences for our buyers who share our passion for this unique pocket of the Gold Coast,” <a href="/developers/lacey-group">Lacey Group</a> Director Adam Lacey said.

“Construction is officially complete, and we are starting to welcome residents to their new homes at The Monroe.”

The Monroe marks Lacey Group’s third completed project on the Gold Coast, with Lacey Group now underway on the delivery of the sold-out Del Ray apartments at Kirra, which are on track for completion in early 2024.

"Construction on The Del Ray is ongoing, and we are also looking at further opportunities on the southern Gold Coast as these two projects come to fruition”, Lacey added.

MRCB International have racked up $120 million worth of sales at their maiden <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast apartment development</a>, <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a>, in eight months.

The 51-level, DBI-designed <a href="/new-apartments/surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Surfers Paradise apartment project</a>, which won Queensland's Best Lifestyle Development at the&nbsp;PropertyGuru Awards last month, has been attracting interest from local downsizers to interstate investors.

26 Vista’s sales agent, Urban Activation Director Matt George, said the project's success is primarily due to the limited supply and sustained demand for premium properties like <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a> on the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>.

“We have seen <a href="/news/qld/interstate-sea-changers-drive-strong-sales-at-26-vista-surfers-paradise-apartments">strong demand from interstate buyers</a> that are seeking a premium investment opportunity, who want the flexibility to utilise the property when visiting the Gold Coast, with the long term plan to spend more time here in the future," George says.

“As we get closer to breaking ground on site, we’ve started to see a surge in local down-sizer enquiries, with a range of larger three and four-bedroom apartments capturing panoramic views over the Gold Coast."

George says buyers are also&nbsp;seeing value in the beachside location, which is centrally positioned to the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> sitting directly above the Northcliffe tram station, allowing residents to easily commute across the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>.

“For a building of this scale, 26 Vista’s level of finish is yet to be seen here on the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>, and there’s a strong emphasis on sustainable living throughout the design, meaning the building is future-proofed for generations to come,” George added.

MRCB International CEO, Ravi Krishnan said 26 Vista's remarkable sales achievement serves as a testament to the developer’s unwavering commitment to excellence in property.

“We have continually sought to raise the bar for residential design within the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>, and <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a> is a reflection of this,"&nbsp;Krishnan said.

"It is set to become one of the greenest towers within the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> in terms of sustainability, yet still puts luxury and high-end finishes front and centre."

Krishnan says the strong sales achieved to date are synonymous with creating a product that meets the market needs; there is more emphasis on sustainability, wellbeing and space.

"Reaching this significant milestone means we are inching even closer to appointing a builder and bringing this project to life."

It looks like Nineteen First Avenue, the luxury <a href="/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach apartment development</a> by Amansi Projects, is back on.

Amansi, led by local developer Ayrton Mansi, looks to be going ahead with the project, appointing large scale builder Promax to handle the construction.

The Plus Architecture-designed, 37-level tower with just 33 full floor apartments and a two-level penthouse, had initially launched to the market just over 12 months ago.

Each apartment will span 280 sqm of internal floor space, with the balcony taking the total to 300 sqm. They will have three ensuited bedrooms, a multi-purpose room, and a study. There's also two parking spaces per apartment. Prices start from just under $3 million, a price which is expected to increase as construction gets closer.

The apartments feature timber flooring, stone benchtops, brushed nickel tapware, feature lighting, V-Zug appliances and&nbsp;smart home automation.

<img alt="Amansi" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b568ba89-d69d-4fc3-9437-407e70118b15" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-01%20at%201.40.28%20pm.png?VersionId=CERZD_akbimgr6jdQCRu9G27KiYwd78u" />

The customisable 527 sqm, two-level penthouse offers four bedrooms, two multi-purpose rooms, and its own private terrace with a sunken lounge with firepit and a swimming pool.

Mansi says residents will experience the best of&nbsp;both worlds at Nineteen.

"You're close enough to all the amenities of which Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise have to offer, without living in the busy city centre", Mansi says.&nbsp;

“The position and aspect of the site inspired the design direction, resulting in a very special, one-of-a-kind, project that would be very hard to replicate on any other site in the surrounding areas.”

Mansi says the project was designed to meet the needs of the downsizing market from the surrounding local suburbs and interstate buyers looking for a luxurious, owner-occupier apartment with all the facilities and amenities to match.

Nineteen will have two levels of resident’s recreation and amenity, featuring a resort style pool and spa, a gymnasium, sauna and steam room and barbeque areas. Designed for modern living, residents will also have exclusive access to work-from-home suites and a boardroom, with a community lounge and library.

Full floor apartments start from $3.1 million.

Just minutes from Surfers Paradise and the new arts and cultural precinct, Chevron One residents will savour a village-like atmosphere yet an urban lifestyle experience

How Chevron One fits into the Chevron Island village landscape 

The laid-back atmosphere and the closeness to Gold Coast's best beaches, national parks and family-friendly areas continue to attract homebuyers to Burleigh Heads, one of Queensland's most sought-after coastal communities.

21 Property Group met the demand with the Burleigh Beach Houses, a&nbsp;limited collection of four-bedroom townhouses, each offering an oversized 330 sqm of living space spread across three levels.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141528 project_image_fid=220051]

The beach houses capture the relaxed yet refined essence of Burleigh Heads with its understated weatherboard and rendered façade softened by lush greenery cascades from the garden beds above—symbolic of the surf, sand and national parks of Burleigh.

The location is one of the key components of Burleigh Beach Houses. It's ideally located to be just a five-minute walk from&nbsp;highly rated restaurants, bars and cafes, such as The Little Plate, Street Corner Espresso, Commune Cafe, and Crispy Italian Bar.

Heading five-minutes south of the townhouses, residents can shop their produce at the Village's Market and Burleigh Farmers Market every Saturday. The Burleigh Heads State School is also conveniently located in this vicinity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141528 project_image_fid=220042]

Across the street, residents can conveniently grab a snack from Pie Pie on their way to The Esplanade, which is just 550 metres away, or enjoy the cosmopolitan James Street cuisine scene approximately 900 metres from the property. Two kilometres further south lies the Stockland Burleigh Heads Shopping Centre, located in the industrial precinct of the suburb.

Directly across the road from Burleigh Beach Houses are the 700 and 765 bus stop routes, providing a convenient half-hour commute north to the Broadbeach South Station.

Beyond the dining and shopping convenience, Burleigh Beach Houses is surrounded by abundant natural features.&nbsp;

The iconic Burleigh Beach shoreline is just a short walk away. At the same time, for hiking enthusiasts, the Burleigh Ridge Park and Burleigh Head National Park offer various trails like the Rainforest Track, Ocean View Lookout Track, and Ocean View Track within a 10-minute drive.&nbsp;

For a more relaxed experience, families can ride their bikes to Burleigh Lake, where parents can enjoy a steaming cup of espresso at Lakeview Espresso or a picnic with the whole family at Lake View Park.

Construction completion of Burleigh Beach Houses is slated for the second quarter of 2024.
