<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 penthouse offering atop Main Beach’s luxury ARI residential tower was unveiled this week.

The two-level design boasts a private rooftop terrace with a pool, spa and barbecue facilities, for the exclusive use of the penthouse owner, along with space to lounge in the open air.

Set on levels 18 and 19, the penthouse and rooftop expose 360-degree views spanning the Pacific Ocean, the city skyline, the Broadwater, and the <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> hinterland.

The Melbourne-based Stamoulis Property Group is developing the project, which has been designed by Bayden Goddard's&nbsp;BGD Architects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112163 project_image_fid=217022]

Kollosche's Michael Kollosche, who is selling <a href="/new-apartments/ari-3555-main-beach-parade-main-beach">ARI</a> with Harry Kakavas, said there are few comparable penthouses on the Gold Coast market.

“We’re expecting strong interest from buyers who want the best of location, lifestyle and luxury in one package,” Kollosche says.

“To acquire a penthouse in a luxury boutique residential building, with its own private rooftop, on a triple block with 30-metre beach frontage truly is a rare opportunity.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112163 project_image_fid=217021]

Priced at $19.75 million, the sprawling penthouse suite spans 759 sqm in total, 436 sqm of internal living space and a further 296 sqm of outdoor living.

There are three living areas and a dining area, a gourmet kitchen plus a scullery, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a separate study, a powder room, and five car spaces.

The penthouse has soaring 4.5-metre ceilings and full-height glass windows which curve around the open plan main living and dining area, taking&nbsp;full advantage of views to South Stradbroke Island and south to <a href="/new-apartments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112163 project_image_fid=217019]

The residents-only tower comprises 26 half-floor residences and three full-floor sky homes. Half-floor apartments with three bedrooms start from 288 sqm and range in size to 325 sqm, while full-floor apartments with four bedrooms range in size from 567 sqm to 618 sqm.

Kollosche said that current demand had seen a number of half-floor residences amalgamated.

<a href="/new-apartments/ari-3555-main-beach-parade-main-beach">ARI</a> residents will enjoy exclusive access to resort-class amenities including a heated 25-metre lap pool, a gym, steam room, sauna, cold plunge pool, residents lounge and business centre.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112163 project_image_fid=216350]

More than half of the available apartments in ARI have sold since the project launched in May.

Kollosche said buyers have responded to the absolute beachfront location, the architectural design, the high standard of finish, and uninterrupted ocean view lines.

“Brand new apartments on the absolute beachfront are few in <a href="/developments/main-beach-qld-4217">Main Beach</a> and redevelopment options are even fewer,” Kollosche says.

“The <a href="/developments/main-beach-qld-4217">Main Beach lifestyle</a> is a major drawcard for owner-occupiers with the beach and the Tedder Avenue village centre all on the doorstep.

“Nearby Marina Mirage and The Spit precinct are earmarked for major redevelopment in coming years which only adds to the value of any investment in Main Beach.”

ARI apartments are priced from $5.9 million.

ARI Main Beach penthouse seeks nearly $20 million

Interstate migration to the Sunshine State continues to grow post-pandemic, with global developer MRCB International’s Gold Coast project <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a> recording an influx of buyers from New South Wales and further down south.

Since launching to market earlier this year, <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a> is averaging $20 million in sales each month, with two-thirds of all sales coming from interstate and international buyers seeking a coastal lifestyle switch.

The majority of purchasers are between the ages of 30 to 60, with 30 per cent of sales to date coming from New South Wales alone.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=211249]

A recent CBRE report found that the <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> experienced the second-largest population growth among major Australian cities at 2.2 per cent, which is largely being led by “metro-movers” from Sydney and Melbourne who are seeking a change in lifestyle.

According to the ABS, close to 87,000 Australians moved to Queensland between June 2020 and June 2022, with this trend likely to increase over the coming years.

Gavin Smith has been holidaying on the <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> for a number of years and is now ready to make the move from Hobart with his wife after purchasing a residence at <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a> on level 34.

“We have been holidaying on the <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> for many years and watched it evolve over time," Smith said.

"We purchased off the plan three years ago and sold before it was built, so the seed was always there and now, we have purchased at the amazing <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a>.

“The <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> City Council has invested well in surrounding infrastructure to accommodate increasing demand.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=209972]

MRCB International CEO, Ravi Krishnan said the group is thrilled to be making a mark on Australia’s fastest-growing city.

“We noticed the growth in interstate migration to the <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> from the southern states and the high demand within the region. This, coupled with the forecasted lack of dwelling supply, drove our decision to invest in Surfers Paradise. The fact that the site that we purchased was in an enviable location influenced the decision," Krishnan said.

“Inevitably, the Gold Coast will continue to grow as a region. The trend for footloose industries to locate themselves in areas with beautiful weather, tourism opportunities, and solid employment, has meant we couldn’t afford to miss this <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">opportunity to invest in the Gold Coast</a>."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=209978]

Recent council population data forecasts that by 2041, the <a href="/developments/surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Surfers Paradise population</a> will have nearly doubled and it is estimated that of that, close to 85,900 people will live in high-rise towers.

Immerse Projects is set to launch their second <a href="/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta apartment project</a> to the market later this year, having received approval from the Gold Coast City Council.

Veteran builder John Kearney, who heads up renowned developer Greyburn, is behind the 17-level apartment project at 39 McLean Street, adjacent to his <a href="/new-apartments/rhythm-kirra-hill-30-garrick-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Rhythm Kirra Hill development</a> which is currently on the market.

“We are very pleased with today’s approval of the McLean Street project which is the result of a lot of collaborative work with Council <a href="/news/qld/first-look-latest-kirra-beach-coolangatta-apartment-tower">over past 18 months</a>,” Kearney said.

“This allows us to focus on delivering and finishing construction on our adjacent site being Rhythm Kirra Hill and look forward to moving our teams onto this site towards the end of next year along with a DA submission of another site in Tweed.”

The McLean Street development will deliver 58 new apartments comprising a mix of two-and three-bedroom designs, with the project to be topped by a 240 sqm penthouse.

The development will deliver a range of resident amenities including resort-style rooftop providing a communal lounge room, pool, gymnasium and sauna. The design offers additional communal areas on the ground and first levels that will provide meeting rooms for work-from-home use and parcel delivery lockers for online purchases by residents.

Designed by award-winning firm BDA Architecture, the development will feature a simple slender design with curved edges and a paired back elegant articulation of a timeless architectural style.

Immerse Projects reduced the height of the project from 19 levels following negotiations with the Council over the past 18 months. The site is located within the Coolangatta Centre District which offers higher density allowances under the Gold Coast City Council Town Plan.

The project is designed to provide a variety of residential products in the established <a href="/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">coastal neighbourhood of Coolangatta</a>, an area that is growing in popularity with buyers.

Rhythm Kirra Hill, which offers apartment designs that suit a wide section of the market,&nbsp;has proven to be popular among owner occupiers and local downsizers.

“McLean Street, like Rhythm, will cater to that missing middle market where buyers are looking for quality coastal residences with resort-style facilities but without the premium price point,” Kearney added.

“We are big believers in the southern Gold Coast, as the market remains buoyant for this type of product amid an ongoing undersupply of stock.”

Greyburn will start construction on the <a href="/new-apartments/39-41-mclean-street-coolangatta">McLean Street project</a> next year.

Sydney-based developer Roche Group has filed plans for the next stage of its Jacobs Well, <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> masterplan.

They'll be bringing much needed supply to the Gold Coast, submitting a development application for 76 three and four-bedroom duplexes on a 2.46-hectare site within their $2 billion Calypso Bay masterplan halfway between the <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> and <a href="/developments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a>.&nbsp;

They've had local architecture firm BDA design the duplexes, with three different floorplans and 12 different external designs on offer.&nbsp;

Each duplex will have two levels and two car spaces. The four-bedroom duplexes will have a multi-purpose space, while the three-bedroom duplexes will feature a master suite with walk in wardrobe and bathroom, and a separate study area.

<img alt="Roche Calypso" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="92a8dcde-7ebd-4eb8-93a6-34721add0ce8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-07-24%20at%2010.37.57%20am.png?VersionId=HE4pzqSsO1p6aSQ3qGTXQnYWCHAz9bab" />

In their design submission, BDA said the proposed townhomes will enhance and support the existing community by broadening the range of housing options for new and existing residents.

"The proposal has been designed to have a cohesive modern character, where the expression and form of the buildings work in concert, creating a light, clean, modern look, with the addition of traditional residential elements,"&nbsp;the submission read.

"A timeless elegant subtropical architectural style, supported by a lush native landscape will create a sense of place, help enhance the vibrant Calypso Bay community and create an ideal environment to call home."

The site is located on the corner of Harbour Boulevard and the unformed Helmore Road, at the entry to the Calypso Bay Estate.&nbsp;The triangular shape of the site, the screened location and dense vegetation to the south and west has driven the site planning.

<img alt="Roche" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="18ae8714-012c-43f2-b5df-033f6f89e284" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-07-24%20at%2010.37.02%20am.png?VersionId=mRK8DF06FOAsbd2Vua1QnerFcNCh7r4s" />

"Based on location and characteristics, it is considered the site is an ideal location for medium density development fulfilling the intent approved plan of development with well-designed and contextually appropriate housing," BDA added.

They described&nbsp;Calypso Bay as "a destination in waterfront residential living."

Nearly 25 per cent, some 5,440 sqm, is dedicated to communal landscaping. The duplexes will be developed around a central 20 metre pool with a tiered lounging space and adjoining barbecue and dining area.

<img alt="DBI" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="75432d77-442c-480e-adbb-0aa2b1acb064" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-07-24%20at%2010.40.52%20am.png?VersionId=B_H8D3CwKCDcDrqJ8wQFosKzdA9GJy8l" />

DBI, who handled the landscaping, said the landscape design&nbsp;aims to develop a modern and elegant landscape that enhances the unique character of the site and reinforces its sense of place within the Calypso Bay development.

"The design will incorporate hardscape elements such as walls, fences, and finishes that draw inspiration from the proposed architectural forms to create a cohesive environment."

The $2 billion masterplanned community will comprise around 1,400 homes and 840 apartments, when it's completed. It will home around 5,500 people.

Leading Gold Coast property developer Aniko Group is about to put up the sold out sign on their $500 million development spree that has transformed Hope Island over the last four years.

Aniko has one remaining sky home in its Athena Residences, presenting the final chance for buyers to become a part of what has been one of the most transformative residential precincts ever seen at <a href="/developments/hope-island-qld-4212">Hope Island</a>.

The successful sale of the sky home, priced at $1,895,000, will close a great chapter for Aniko Group which has established itself as one of the eminent private property development companies on the <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>, headed by George Mastrocostas.

Aniko Group has now pivoted its attention to its proposed $1.5 billion development at <a href="/developments/mermaid-beach-qld-4218">Mermaid Beach</a>, which will transform a dormant site adjacent to Pacific Fair shopping centre into a vibrant mixed-use precinct featuring residential, hotel, office, and retail spaces, accompanied by a new waterfront dining precinct.

The company is also gearing up to commence construction on the $120 million Orama at <a href="/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111898 project_image_fid=209596]

Business Development Manager at Aniko Group, Amanda Malady, has been instrumental in spearheading the sales success of Athena Residences.

"We have witnessed an extraordinary level of interest and demand for the Athena Residences," said Malady.

“Within three months of launching to the market, more than half of Athena Residences’ had been snapped up by eager buyers wanting to get their hands on an Aniko property after witnessing the sell-out of its sister project across the road.

"This final sky home presents the last opportunity for buyers seeking an unparalleled waterfront lifestyle within the stunning Athena Residences."

<img alt="Chevron" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="db6d0fea-315a-4aa3-9b08-dbd19637bde3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-07-21%20at%2012.25.24%20pm.png?VersionId=DVMaAo2vj_DhyQy8X4u5wcKD.nn2c9k0" />

The apartment spans 258 sqm and has three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms,&nbsp;a study, butler's pantry, and premium features including Miele appliances, herringbone timber floors, basement storage and three dedicated carparks.

Athena Residences is a unique product in that it provides an adaptive layout typically unseen in apartment floorplans, allocating additional space to allow for the choice of working from home, plus the resort style facilities and the abundance of open space and greenery which covers a massive 60 per cent of the site.

Developer BeckDev has made significant design concessions to its proposed Palais <a href="/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta development</a>, the most obvious being a large reduction in height and scale.

The group, led by founders Ben and Max Beck, lodged the revised plans with the council this week.

Responding to the latest councils request to reduce the building even further in height, BeckDev further concedes lowering the height of the project to 17 storeys from the 22 storeys originally proposed and the subsequent revised 20-storey design that sat comfortably within the skyline and in close proximity of an existing 24-storey building.

The reduction in floors and the number of apartments planned for Palais will see the height of the project slashed to 58.75 metres from the originally proposed 75.5 metres as BeckDev looks to meet the council’s requests.

Amid an ongoing undersupply and shortfall of apartments available for rent and purchase, Palais will be further reduced to 132 apartments. This is considerably less than the 174 apartments originally planned by BeckDev and the subsequently further proposed reduction to 159 apartments that council rejected.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=103143 project_image_fid=216319]

The Palais development application, <a href="/news/qld/beckdev-set-for-palais-coolangatta-apartment-development">which was first lodged in November 2021</a>, is earmarked for a 2,355 sqm site at 31-35 McLean Street. The site is partly occupied by the Jazzland building, a former dance hall that was the heart of the Coolangatta social scene from the 1930's until it was closed in 1951.

BeckDev will retain the heritage building’s façade as part of the development, with the hall and stage of the former Jazzland Dance Palais to be restored to its former glory.

The restoration work which will bring to life a part of Coolangatta’s history that has remained lost for more than 70 years, will incorporate the existing original materials to maintain the authenticity of the dance hall that hosted revellers from the 1930s through to the 1950s.

The Palais project also presents a significant opportunity for local business patronage in the centre of Coolangatta. Unlike the residential-zoned areas of <a href="/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>, such as Snapper Rocks and Rainbow Bay, which have witnessed considerable development activity in recent years, the Coolangatta centre itself has experienced relatively limited revitalisation efforts over the past decade.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=103143 project_image_fid=216320]

Among the key changes proposed by BeckDev for Palais are increased tower setbacks to the sides and rear of the development, as well as the Jazzland heritage façade, with setbacks ranging from 3.46 metres to 7.026 metres which either meet or exceed council requirements. BeckDev has also reduced the height of the podium and adjusted its setback from the heritage façade.

BeckDev Managing Director Damian Dalgleish said the&nbsp;authentic heritage restoration to the façade and hall provides a unique sense of place that celebrates the cultural heritage use of the Jazzland dance in the hall.

“Our commitment to Jazzland is saving a long forgotten past that retains and restores a heritage cultural use, that has been lost due to successive owners altering the building to suit their retail requirements with no consideration to the previous heritage values of the site," he said.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=103143 project_image_fid=216317]

Palais, designed by award-winning architectural firm BDA, will comprise a range of one, two, and three-bedroom residences that will take advantage of the development’s prime coastal location in the heart of Coolangatta and within close proximity to the world renowned surf beach.

The residential development offering incorporates premium residential facilities over two separate levels, including office pods, a pool, gym, theatre, private dining function rooms, kids play area and barbecue breakout areas that offer stunning views across the bay to the Surfers Paradise skyline.

“BeckDev recognises being able to live, relax and work from home with all those facilities at your fingertips is what customers are now looking for,” Dalgleish added.

BeckDev are renowned for delivering quality and landmark developments in <a href="/developments/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a> and <a href="/developments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a>, including one of Australia’s most important heritage building restorations at 333 Collins Street in Melbourne.

Pacific View Property have knocked over another major milestone at their Bilinga beachfront development, Navini.&nbsp;

Having already achieved over 50 per cent sold, the group has now commenced construction across the site at&nbsp;313 Golden Four Drive, with <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> construction firm Evbuilt given the build of the 16 residences. Evbuilt, who specialise in luxury builds, has had a hand in over 400 projects to date totalling $600 million.

Pacific View launched Navini to market in October 2022, with the project, situated midway along Golden Four Drive between Tugun and <a href="/developments/kirra-qld-4225">Kirra Beach</a>, marking their fifth venture into the sought after enclave.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113047 project_image_fid=206626]

Rising nine storeys, Navini offers beachfront three-bedroom residences, each north-east facing with expansive views that frame beaches from Coolangatta to Currumbin.&nbsp;

Boris Design handled the architecture for Navini, collaborating with Studio Collective who designed the interiors.

Born out of a love of nature, Navini incorporates an abundance of natural light, while featuring&nbsp; smooth contemporary lines and curved details.

The interiors feature a refined colour palette, coupled with timber flooring, stone benchtops, Miele appliances, butler's pantries and terrace-style balconies complete with built in barbecues.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113047 project_image_fid=206632]

A small selection of residences are still on the market at Navini, including a sub-penthouse which is priced from $3.8 million.&nbsp;

The Abedian development family is looking to amalgamate a number of apartments at their approved&nbsp;<a href="/developments/mermaid-beach-qld-4218">Mermaid Beach</a> apartment tower, Peerless.

They've submitted a&nbsp;minor change application to the Peerless Avenue development to drop the number of apartments from 109 to 98.

The documents said it was due to "changes in the economics, market and viability of the project," as well as wanting to "diversify the product being brought to market."

They're wanting to consolidated&nbsp;36 units into 27 units over levels 17-25, a reduction of nine units, and consolidating four units to two units on levels 34-35, a decrease of two units.

The consolidations on levels 34 and 35 will create two four-bedroom sub-penthouses, located underneath the whole-floor penthouse.

The amalgamated site at 35-41 Peerless Avenue is located&nbsp;less than 400 metres from Sunland's nearby luxury tower 272 Hedges which is nearing completion, and is next door to the recently completed Bela by Mosaic Property.

Spatium Architects drew up the plans for the 124 metre high tower which initially had 64 three-bedroom apartments and 44 two-bed units.

<a href="/new-apartments/peerless-39-peerless-avenue-mermaid-beach"><img alt="Exclusive: Sunland's Abedian family back with Mermaid Beach apartment tower" 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_2022-06-22_at_3.40.01_am.png" /></a>

The only four-bedroom apartment proposed was the rooftop penthouse, which will span over 400 sqm of living space and a further 280 sqm of outdoor area which will feature its own lawn.

Spatium Architects said in their design statement submitted to the <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast City Council</a> that the amalgamation of four&nbsp;properties in Peerless Avenue presents an opportunity for a significant tall residential building, defining the southern boundary of the high density residential zone in Broadbeach.

"The site has high visual exposure from the Gold Coast Highway and Hedges Avenue, and from a distance will become the landmark building along the southern high rise fringe," the statement noted.

<a href="/new-apartments/peerless-39-peerless-avenue-mermaid-beach"><img alt="Exclusive: Sunland's Abedian family back with Mermaid Beach apartment tower" 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_2022-06-22_at_3.39.49_am.png" /></a>

"The vision for this development is simple in the desire to create a carefully crafted residential project which not only provides a beautiful living environment for the residents, but also pays respect to the community in the way it integrates with its street context and the <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">city skyline</a>."

They said that all apartments are generously sized to provide genuinely liveable spaces and that the unit mix, rather than being focused solely on high income earners, provides well designed homes for a large cross section of the community in the form of two, three and four-bedroom apartments.

All apartments include study areas to accommodate the continuing work from home&nbsp;trend.

<a href="/new-apartments/peerless-39-peerless-avenue-mermaid-beach"><img alt="Exclusive: Sunland's Abedian family back with Mermaid Beach apartment tower" 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_2022-06-22_at_3.39.44_am.png" /></a>

The landscaped recreational facilities deck is located on the elevated podium. That will feature a 25 metre lap pool with lagoon and an inpool spa and surrounded by poolside garden pods. There's a garden barbecue terrace with lounge seating areas, a gym with both a yoga room and a yoga lawn, two saunas and a stream room.

There's further work from home space in the form of a lounge with library and meeting room. Set privately away from the pool is a private bar and dining room with a green roof, which can be booked out by residents.
