Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

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

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

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

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

Maréa Residences brings parkside apartments to Coolangatta

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

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

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

Encompass is a new development rising nine storeys in Melbourne&rsquo;s inner-northern suburb of Carlton, delivered in partnership between Frasers Property and Citta Property Group and currently under construction by the reputable Harris HMC.

At the &ldquo;centre of everything&rdquo;, Encompass is located on the corner of Elgin and Nicholson Streets, and the latest in a strong portfolio of premium residences by the two leading property groups.

Comprised of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, the project provides a great lifestyle opportunity for discerning buyers seeking the best of architecture, outdoor spaces, sustainability, and urban living.

But why invest? Urban takes a look at eight reasons why investors are showing interest in this new development.

1. Melbourne&rsquo;s most walkable neighbourhood

Carlton has been named Melbourne&rsquo;s most walkable neighbourhood by Walk Score, with a score of 97 attributed to its convenient local amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188289]

Residents at Encompass can walk to around 50 restaurants, bars and coffee shops within five minutes.

Benefitting from strong local retail and amenity, education and employment hubs, as we shall soon explore, Carlton has it all.

2. Apartment affordability

Apartments in Carlton offer an affordable option for renters with median weekly rents registered at $360 for the year to March 2021, according to Urbis.

For new apartments&nbsp;in Carlton, median weekly rents registered at $410; a $50 premium over older apartment stock.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188281]

This, coupled with a gross rental yield of 5.1 per cent, provides a big positive for potential investors looking to purchase an apartment in Carlton.

Investors are also likely to achieve a better return on investment as the rental market stabilises as a result of ongoing tenant activity.

3. Public transport

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188283]

With trams running along Swanston Street, Nicholson Street and Lygon Street, Encompass residents can feel connected to the Melbourne CBD.

The new Parkville station will also enhance the local public transport offering of Carlton, providing nearby access to the CBD and the remainder of Melbourne.

4. Open space and neighbourhood amenities

Leisure and open space are an important part of any neighbourhood, and Carlton is rich with parklands and gardens.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188280]

World heritage site Carlton Gardens boasts nearly 20-hectares of parkland, and contains the Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne Museum and tennis courts.

Other neighbourhood amenities include the Carlton Baths, which features a 25-metre public pool, as well as a health club and sporting facilities.

5. Retail and restaurants 

Carlton is characterised by its young and culturally-diverse population, reflected in its great bars and trendy caf&eacute;s.

Lygon Street, or &ldquo;Little Italy&rdquo; as it&rsquo;s known by locals, features almost 150 retail stores, including 80 caf&eacute;s, bars and restaurants, many of which are Italian. &nbsp;

Residents are never far from local retail amenity, with a Woolworths shopping centre nearby, as well as an IMAX cinema, bank and clothing stores.

6. Over $11 billion in infrastructure investment

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188285]

$11 billion in state and local government infrastructure investment is currently in the pipeline to benefit Encompass residents.

Key projects include the $11 billion new metro tunnel project to improve train capacity by close to 60 per cent and the $9 million University Square masterplan.

The $500 million redevelopment of the inner-city innovation precinct will also serve to introduce a new mixed-use precinct to the suburb that features office space, public engagement space and retail offerings.

7. Great design

Designed by Jackson Architecture, the design of Encompass is sure to see renters seek out an apartment in the new development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5116 project_image_fid=188287]

The architecturally distinctive building will establish a unique urban presence within Carlton and Fitzroy, while staying true to the neighbourhoods&rsquo; cultural heritage.

This extends into the interiors with open and bright living spaces, a paved terrace or balcony in each residence and carefully considered floorplans.

8. Nearby educational institutions

A number of educational institutions are within close proximity of Encompass, including Australia&rsquo;s leading university, the University of Melbourne, which sits along the western border of Carlton.

Several major universities are situated within walking or cycling distance for Carlton residents, including RMIT University, Victoria University Flinders Campus and the University of Melbourne&rsquo;s Parkville campus.

Primary schools nearby include the Carlton Gardens Primary School, Carlton Primary School and Carlton North Primary School.

Melbourne is expected to see prices continue to rise as unmet future residential demand shifts to emerging areas around the CBD.

With an upswing expected later this year as investor interest in the Victorian property market rises, buyers who get in early will be rewarded with competitive prices on off-the-plan residences.

Urban takes a look at the top four Melbourne apartments marketed as investor-friendly properties.

1. R.Iconic, South Melbourne 
Developer: R.Corporation 
One-bedroom apartments from $506,500

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5234 project_image_fid=167355]

Set on a rare island site with prime park frontage, R.Iconic has been labelled a great investment opportunity by its developers.

Apartments at the South Melbourne building are guaranteed to secure five per cent net annual return for four years, thanks to its great location in a high-growth Melbourne precinct.

&ldquo;The Emergence of South Melbourne&rsquo;s Montague precinct provides a generational opportunity to secure a new CBD quality apartment at an exceptional price that simply can no longer be delivered in the CBD&rdquo;, the developers have said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5234 project_image_fid=84282]

Investors will also enjoy knowing that R.Iconic residences boast deposits as low as $20,000, making it easy to invest in a project redefining inner-city Melbourne living.

Expected to reach completion in mid-2022, the building showcases one, two and three-bedroom apartment configurations and 38 world-class resident-only amenities.

Focusing on natural surroundings, wellbeing, fitness, entertaining and technology, R.Iconic has double the amenities of any project of its type.

2. Hawthorn Park, Hawthorn East 
Developer: Dahua Group 
One-bedroom apartments from $609,000

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3730 project_image_fid=35252]

Hawthorn Park is a sophisticated residential mid-rise that is strategically located amongst Hawthorn East&rsquo;s several transport, education, lifestyle and amenity offerings.

According to the DHHS, apartments in Hawthorn East have registered median rental growth of 4.2% per annum for one-bedroom apartments in the ten-year period to March 2021, in spite of the continued impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.

&ldquo;Looking forward, high demand driven by the catchment&rsquo;s proximity to education, transport and amenity, coupled with the ongoing growth of the renal market, is likely to attract market interest from interstate and overseas investors&rdquo;, the developers said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3730 project_image_fid=30658]

Residents will enjoy the property&rsquo;s landscaped green spaces and parks that feature fruit and vegetable gardens for dwellers to grow their own produce.

The project also features a sky boardwalk, splash pool, sky lounge, massage suites and fully-equipped gym.

3. Voyager, Docklands 
Developer: Mirvac 
Two-bedroom apartments from $706,500

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=90814]

Docklands is continuing to develop as a place where people choose to live, work and visit, becoming the country&rsquo;s largest construction project.

Mirvac&rsquo;s Voyager at Yarra&rsquo;s Edge delivers a range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments across 43 levels.

According to the developers, &ldquo;[a]stute investors in Voyager will see opportunity in purchasing within the already established Yarra&rsquo;s Edge community.&rdquo;

Contemporary apartments and a number of resident-only amenities has encouraged investors to purchase into the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3494 project_image_fid=89724]

Facilities include a resident sky deck, dining room and bar, hanging gardens, 270-degree skyline views and a cinema and karaoke room.

The rental market for Docklands is strong with median rents for two-bedroom apartments higher than across Greater Melbourne at $465 and $385 per week, respectively, according to SQM Research.

4. Ryrie Home, Geelong 
Developer: Franz&eacute; Developments 
One-bedroom apartments from $375,000

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5559 project_image_fid=88241]

Although not in Melbourne, local and interstate investors are flocking to coastal investments thanks to a shift in lifestyle for many city-dwellers.

Population growth is always a key driver for increased demand in the residential market and thanks to a population growth forecast at 3.14 per cent per annum, the demand for housing in Geelong will yield consistent returns.

&ldquo;The median sale price for apartments in Geelong has grown significantly, on average 10 per cent per annum over three years, this suggests strong capital growth returns&rdquo;, the project marketing stated.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5559 project_image_fid=88244]

As the fastest-growing regional city in Australia, Ryrie Home delivers investors the pleasure of owning a beautiful apartment for an affordable price.

Each apartment boasts secure basement car parking and storage units, as well as access to hotel amenities, commercial retail and views across Corio Bay and the Botanical Gardens.

The top four Melbourne apartments marketed as investor-friendly properties 

<html><body>
Shallow research leads to misinformed real estate consumers and bad investment decisions. It’s important for investors to look beyond the veneer research published in mainstream media and dig a little deeper.
I’m alarmed at the number of consumers I encounter who think absorbing headlines and sound bytes constitutes research.
Their knowledge is paddling-pool shallow and they don’t know it. Their view of real estate markets is the one economists get from the 45th floor of a Martin Place office building. Australian property values rose 9.8% in the past year. Residential vacancies are 2.3%. First-home buyers can’t afford homes because the Sydney median is a million dollars. 
Mainstream media gives you little more than generalised numbers. A single figure describes the entire market is a large capital city. It’s meaningless at best and dangerously misleading at worst. 
The generalised number for Brisbane vacancies is around 2.5%. No worries. And a newspaper article recently quoted a “research report” claiming the city will run out of apartments to sell in five months. Other articles have said developers are making lots of off-the-plan sales. 
Great, let’s buy an inner-city unit in Brisbane.
Looking a little deeper, all the inner-city suburbs of Brisbane have vacancies in the 4-5% range. And that’s before the new developments now under construction or being marketed off-the-plan are completed and dumped in the rental pool.
If you get a copy of the afore-mentioned “research report”, you find that the people marketing the apartments are the same people who wrote the report – and some very creative accounting has been used to come up with the very self-serving conclusions.
Hunt around a little more and you will find independent research showing that 90% of Brisbane inner-city units are being sold to investors, and most of them are distant investors. The new high-rise apartments are not being built to service local demand. 
There’s also independent research indicating that the claims made by developers and marketers about pre-sales are largely false – or, at best, exaggerated.
The bottom line for buyers: it matters not whether every planned apartment in Brisbane gets sold. What matters is whether there’s rental demand for them. A market with empty apartments loses value dramatically. That’s why Surfers Paradise apartments are worth less than 10 years ago.
The veneer research numbers say buy a Brisbane unit. The deeper research says run away as fast as you can.
You can be forgiven for thinking not much is happening in Adelaide’s market. The latest generalised number says house prices have risen only 2.7% in the year to 30 June. Put that together with the vague impression you have about South Australia lacking population growth and economic vitality and you might conclude Adelaide’s not worthy of your attention.
The reality is quite different. There’s considerable momentum in the Adelaide residential market – it’s just that the single figure used to describe this market doesn’t reflect the rising sales activity.
Nor does it describe the many suburbs which have recorded double-digit rises in their median house prices in the past 12 months.
There are suburbs right across the metropolitan area, and across all price spectrums, which have recorded growth ranging from 10% to 18%.
Many of the locations with the strongest growth are middle-market areas, suburbs with median prices in in $500,000s, $600,000s and $700,000s – among them Glenelg East (up 17%), West Lakes (up 14%) and Cumberland Park (up 15%). 
Among the best has been Cheltenham, where the median price has increased 21.5% to $540,000. It’s part of the municipality of Charles Sturt in the middle-market western suburbs of Adelaide.
The Charles Sturt LGA is the leading precinct of Adelaide in terms of the number of suburbs with rising sales activity – indeed, it’s currently one of the best in Australia.
But if you simply glanced at the generalised price growth figure for Adelaide overall, and dismissed its prospects, you would never know there’s an outstanding growth market hidden beneath the figures.

Shallow research leads to misinformed real estate consumers: Terry Ryder

<html><body>
SPONSORED POST
Over the past few months, the east coast of Australia has been battered by severe storms and we’ve all seen the pictures, with roofs being ripped off and many properties completely destroyed, it’s a scary time for property owners.
As a property owner or investor, fearing for your own home as well as your investment property during these events is a likely source of sleepless nights and it’s a fact that all property owners want and need insurance cover to protect their investment.
However, all too often property owners incorrectly insure their property, whether it be under insured or over insured.
Having your property insured for either its purchase price or its market valuation is not the right solution.
The insured value should be for re-constructing the property and all that that entails.
The insured cost should include for things such as demolition and clean up, design and engineering fees, project management and other consultants fees of the new build, approvals and permits, the cost of the construction works, and importantly the cost of escalation on the rebuild price between the time of destruction and the time of actually rebuilding.
Additionally, when you insure your property for its purchase price or market value you are effectively and unnecessarily insuring the land!
NBtax, being part of the Napier &amp; Blakeley group, are among the most experienced quantity surveyors in the country.
Quantity surveyors are perfectly positioned to advise on the correct levels of insurance for re-building property.
Quantity surveyors are the only professionals in the market place that are qualified to calculate construction costs.
In the event of insurable damage, we also advise property owners in determining the scope and amount of a claim to be submitted, as well as preparing and administering building contracts for repairs or complete reconstruction.
In the event of partial or total destruction of an investment property you should also consider your property tax depreciation deductions.
We are asked by numerous clients what effect might these damaging incidents will have on their existing and future capital (depreciation) allowances on their investment properties. And the question arises where funds from a third party such as an insurer pays for capital works.
In the event of repair works, then all demolished capital items may be written off from the date of demolition. All newly installed and refurbished costs may be claimed once works have been completed. Always remember to keep all your records of expenditure, even those such as skip hire, professional fees and the like.
It is important to identify the assets within your existing property tax depreciation schedules that have been removed as to ascertain their value at the time of removal. NBtax tailors its service for each client when it comes to maintaining accurate property tax depreciation schedules, after any reconstruction or repair works your schedule may need updating.
With exposure to billions of dollars of actual construction costs, our quantity surveyors, provide a solid platform for insurance advice. This advice should also help you negotiate with insurers if you need to make a claim.

Sydney is not the most attractive capital city in which to invest your property dollar, according to the latest Finder RBA Cash Rate Survey.
The majority of experts and economists said they would rather invest $500,000 in the likes of Melbourne and Brisbane.
It was an even split, with 27 per cent saying Melbourne and 27 per cent saying Brisbane. Sydney was on a par with Canberra at 14 per cent of participations asked.
Graham Cooke, insights manager at Finder, said the vast majority of economists chose to steer clear of advising investment in Sydney.
“Sydney has traditionally been Australia’s darling in the property market, but it is no longer the belle of the ball," Cooke noted
Which Australian capital city would be the best to invest $500,000 in property?

“Prices have just started to recover after falling nearly 15% from the heady days of 2017, but sales volumes are still low and many investors and potential sellers are in a holding pattern.
“While prices fell across the board, the ratio of house prices relative to income is still higher in Sydney than in other cities, which may slow the bounceback somewhat compared to Melbourne and Brisbane.
“On the bright side, both prices and auction clearance rates are slowly heading in the right direction in the Harbour City, but these results indicate that the previous market highs are still a way off,” Cooke said.
Only 45 per cent of experts said the property market had turned a corner and that prices will continue to rise.
A further 41 per cent expected prices to remain at their current level for a while, with only 14 per cent predicting a further drop in prices.
Cooke said the results are a clear indication that recent gains are not the product of a ‘dead-cat bounce’.
“Recent clearance rates and sale prices in Sydney and Melbourne are tentative but positive.”
“Potential first time buyers may not be buying at the bottom of the market, but there is still plenty of value to be had with home loans at record lows,” Cooke said.

Finder experts favour property investment in Melbourne and Brisbane over Sydney

The Australian Tax Office has signalled a crackdown on investment property tax claims.
It comes as a growing number of people top up their exisiting loans, then claim deductions on cash being used for new cars, holidays or to pay down other debt.
Karen Foat, ATO assistant commissioner, told Nine Entertainment it was targeting investment properties as "a top priority" after analysis revealed 90 per cent of rental deductions contained an error.
Foat advised audits scrutinising rental deductions will double this year amid the 2.2 million investment property owners.
The crackdown will look at borrowers who have used their loan account like a regular bank account, with deposits and withdrawals for a variety of private, investment or business purposes.
"If you have a loan that you use to buy an investment property, but then you draw down on the loan and pay for a holiday or car - the purpose of the loan is now partly investment and partly private, meaning that only some of the interest on the loan is likely to be tax deductible," said William Buck tax services director Todd Want.
Mr Want warned another focus will be investors who make one-off deductions for repairs or additions to an investment property that need to be claimed over several years.
Mr Want added: "The key point here is - were the materials the same, or similar and does the repair achieve the same function? If you replace it with something that is superior, then you probably can't claim the deduction, it must be depreciated over a number of years."
He said: "It might not be deductible in the year of replacing it, but instead needs to be depreciated and claimed over time.
The ATO has previously signalled it will also focus on people who do not declare income from short-term rentals or renting part of a house or unit.
Holiday property owners who claim expenses for periods where it not genuinely available for rent, or was used privately, will continue to be closely monitored.

ATO's latest property investment crackdown

EXPERT OBSERVATION
As more and more property developers turn to dual occupancy dwellings to maximise the potential of a block of land - and are now marketing these properties to investors - there are dangers of this high-risk investment. 
While there were certainly some benefits to dual occupancy investment, in particular, improved cash flow and reduced maintenance costs, the risks associated with them were high.
While dual occupancy properties look similar to duplex developments, these are completely different assets as dual occupancy homes are on one formal title as opposed to two titles, with separate utilities. 
Investors are being tempted by high rental projections, promised great returns and the lure of financial independence, however, this type of property carries major risks.
The problems could start when you apply for a loan, with a risk that the pre-settlement valuation will take into consideration the potential risk, and the formal valuation might be lower than the contractual purchase price.
There was also a risk that lenders would introduce stronger lending requirements either in the form of greater deposits (lower LVR) and/or greater serviceability given dependency on a high rental income was the substance of the investment. 
You might also have a problem when you want to sell them as these properties are on one title, meaning there are two dwellings and you have to sell them jointly. 
Also, these types of properties are largely sold to investors - whether both are rented out or whether one is rented and the other owner-occupied. Generally, at least one of them is an investment property. 
So there will be a very small number of owner-occupiers who want to buy them, as most want standalone houses on decent-sized blocks. Which means you are losing a major market segment, the owner-occupiers. 
In addition, renters also have a strong preference for standalone houses meaning, the demand by tenants for standalone houses is likely to be stronger and your rental pool is greatly reduced.  
The price of dual occupancy properties was in many cases 70 - 80 per cent or higher than the price of an off-the-plan standalone house in the same suburb, which put them in the top 5 per cent of the market and buyers at that price range preferred “houses in better places, with higher median prices. 
Pimpama, in Queensland, provides a good example of this, where the typical house-and-land package is $518,000 while some dual occupancy properties carry a price of $950,000. This places the price for dual occupancy at 80 per cent higher than a house-and-land package. It is also significantly above the top house price percentile for Pimpama, as the 90th percentile of house prices in Pimpama is $707,016 (meaning 90 per cent of all house prices in Pimpama are below this figure).
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/11/2/Dual%20Occupancy.jpg" alt="">
The third risk is, in many cases, there is a large supply of similar properties, so you have over-saturation of the market and renters obviously have preference for a standalone house with a big backyard, so finding tenants can become problematic, which means your actual cash flow might be lower than the projected cash flow.
In addition, potential changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax proposed under a Federal Labor government will see reduced demand to purchase rental properties due to the creation of primary and secondary markets - and this will cause dwelling prices to decline in some regions.  
The transfer of the property from you to another investor will effectively change its status from the primary to the secondary market, from a taxation perspective. This means that the same taxation benefits from a property (being the negative gearing and capital gains tax discount) would not be available to the next buyer.
Therefore, the next buyer (if the proposed changes are implemented) will have higher out-of-pocket costs, and therefore will want to pay less for the property.

Dual occupancy investment properties a high-risk endeavour: Doron Peleg

The sustained low interest rate environment in Australia continues to drive yield compression in investment property with sales pushing well below 5% and in some cases 4%. 
While this is frustrating for local buyers looking for safe investment opportunities and great for sellers, the question is where is it all going?
Holden Capital’s Construction Finance Market Update for Spring/Summer 2017 tried to figure that out.
The consensus of opinion amongst most economic observers seems to be that for as long as Australia continues to be identified as a safe and stable economy, quality property assets will continue to attract foreign investment. Compared to other competing stable economies, our property sector provides solid returns for investors chasing reliable income with strong WALE’s. 
As a consequence the short to medium term outlook appears to be more of the same with local investors forced to look for bargains amongst lesser investment grade stock and yields could potentially tighten further.
With strong competition for quality tenants driving yield compression in large format retail centres, regionals and the key commercial sectors, the prospects for investment outside of these prime assets is likely to be characterised by local investors targeting more affordable investments and the refurbishment/ gentrification of areas previously passed over in order to reduce capital costs. Volatile stock markets, low interest rates and continuing foreign investment will also continue to drive yield compression so the question is, is there a change on the horizon?
Recent press has seen some commentators forecast the potential for interest rate rises in 2018 on the back of easing concerns around the strength of the underlying economy.
"We take the view that while there continues to be pressures on SME profits, household income growth remains weak and general consumer confidence poor, interest rates are unlikely to show signs of increasing for some time to come," says the market update.
As the squeeze on development funding due to APRA's restrictions began to bite, banks turned their attention to what they could continue to lend against and that was property assets which are income producing.
Investment lending against offices, retail, industrial sectors, hotels, etc forms part of the “Commercial” loan portfolio of a bank and while the regulator would like to see overall exposures kept below 10% of their balance sheets, there was scope for them to in some cases actually grow their exposure and then maintain it in line with their balance sheet growth.
“The emerging challenge for them however, has been that many overseas investors who are acquiring property are chasing a positive yield differential as they view the returns more like annuities so their intention is to hold long term, while in some cities a number of commercial buildings are being converted into residential projects,” says the update.
The weight of this additional capital inflow and demand from these overseas property investors (pension funds, investors and sovereign funds to name a few) aided by local demand has been a key driver of strong commercial property sales in an already low yield investment environment and, has led to a dramatic level of yield compression across these investment sectors.” 
This in turn has raised concerns about overvalued property prices relative to historical benchmarks leading to suggestions of value bubbles and the future sustainability of the values and as a consequence, the banks debt ratios. As to how this will resolve itself is difficult to predict with the extreme being a significant reduction in values at a future date but the more likely outcome is a smaller realignment combined with a significant period of stagnation in values. 
Either way, the banks are playing close attention to these issues and will be looking to avoid a situation where a major realignment would adversely affect their clients but more particularly their ability to remain compliant with APRA’s lending guidelines. All of which serves to demonstrate how the combination of regulatory constraints and concerns around rapidly appreciating values has resulted in a slowdown in investment lending by the major banks.

 <img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2017/10/03/HoldenGraph.png" alt="">
Funding options outside of that sector are somewhat limited. In the recent past, Mortgage Funds provided the bulk of non-bank investment loans however the GFC saw a large number of these players exit the market and the remaining funds have limited capacity and or appetite. Unlike the development finance space where many small private funds have emerged to take advantage of the increased returns (and risk) on offer, there have been few new significant funding sources emerge to fill this void.
As always, there has also been a flight to quality by banks and other lenders seeking to improve the risk profile of their loan portfolios, so while the strong sponsors are being serviced, the gap is widening between them and the rest of the market. 
Investment banks, hedge funds and opportunistic funds have increased their presence as funders of development property transactions, however the very nature of their return hurdles means that term debt is not a strongly targeted investment class. There are options out there, however the challenge is to understand who can fund and what the terms are (pricing, tenure, etc) as the market evolves. 
“So to sum up, the investment lending landscape is not dissimilar to the construction finance sector with similar pressures and again, they are pressures that are not going to change overnight so it pays to have the right advice and support when you are thinking of raising debt for a new acquisition or refinancing,” it says.

Low interest rates compressing yields in investment property: Holden Capital

Only a small fraction of the one million vacant dwellings on the 2016 census night were likely owned by foreign investors.
An analysis of the August census results by the economic consultancy SGS Economics has gone towards debunking the suggestion that foreigners are contributing to a housing shortage by leaving their homes empty.
SGS found the largest concentration of unoccupied dwellings was in the regions, reflecting lack of accomodation demand, rather than in the overbuilt capital cities where new apartment construction has been at record levels.
The firm’s analysis of the census shows that people being away from home was by far the most common reason for empty dwellings on census night, accounting for 453,000 properties.
There were also 237,000 holiday houses unoccupied.
The likely total of stock deliberately kept out of use was small, SGS economist Terry Rawnsley said.
The 2016 result was the highest vacant recorded over the time period analysed by SGS Economics from 1981 to 2016.

"With the 2016 census being broadly in line with historical levels we can't blame investors intentionally leaving homes vacant or the rise of Airbnb," Rawnsley told Fairfax Media.
"There might be 180,000 dwellings falling into this 'withheld-from-market' category, but it's not going to be one million."
Around 55,000 homes were ­vacant as they had just been completed, while a further 47,000 were being renovated or repaired.
A further 16,000 were awaiting demolition, the SGS report said.
<div>
<div>There were 110,000 properties awaiting rental (presumably including some foreign-owned pro­perties).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The analysis showed a further 70,000 properties were not covered by any these reasons.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“While this analysis has limitations, it suggests that most of the dwellings that were unoccupied on census night were unoccupied for a very valid reason.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"There does not appear to be a large pool of dwellings being withheld from the housing market,” the SGS ­report said.</div>
</div>
Although the number unoccupied was higher in the latest census, it rose only from 10.7 per cent of all dwellings to 11.2 per cent. The figure has been around 10 per cent since the 1980s.
Sydney’s pricey property market had only 7.3 per cent of dwellings vacant, the lowest rate in the country. Regional South Australia, by contrast, has 22 per cent of its housing empty.
Empty homes are most often found in areas that suffer a loss of major industries or where there is a large number of holiday homes.
While Sydney's inner suburbs had a rate of 9.5 per cent, this fell in regional areas such as Shoalhaven, where 26.1 per cent of homes were empty on census night.
In Greater Melbourne, the rate was 9.1 per cent – but higher in the inner suburbs 11.1 per cent of homes were vacant. However on the Mornington Peninsula this at 22 per cent due to holiday homes.
The Australian noted both federal and state governments have imposed punitive taxes on foreign investors who leave properties vacant, on the basis of suggestions that Chinese buyers are seeking assets in Australia for financial security rather than for return.
This year’s budget included a penalty for foreign-owned properties left vacant for more than six months, levied at $5000 for properties worth less than $1 million and a sliding scale for properties worth more.
It has however yet to be implemented.

Be prepared and knowledgeable about year-end tax deductions for your investment property. This checklist will help make the end of the financial year smoother.
It’s the end of financial year, which, for some means a mad scramble for paperwork. Even if you’ve been proactively monitoring your expenses and tax deductible claims, this checklist should make the year-end smoother for all property investors.
Tax deductible property expenses include:
<ul>
<li>Property management fees and expenses</li>
<li>Professional commissions and fees</li>
<li>Rental marketing expenses</li>
<li>Body corporate fees and charges</li>
<li>Council rate</li>
<li>Land tax</li>
<li>Water supply charges</li>
<li>Building, contents and public liability insurance</li>
<li>Cleaning</li>
<li>Garden and lawn maintenance</li>
</ul>
Repairs and maintenance – specifically, the cost of work undertaken to remedy defects in, damage to or deterioration of the property. Repairs include fixing electrical appliances or replacing storm damaged roofing or guttering for instance. Examples of maintenance deductions are things that will prevent future deterioration or address existing issues, such as painting the interior and exterior, or keeping the plumbing in good order. These are distinct from capital expenses (i.e. a renovation) – which would need to be depreciated.
Loan Interest expenses - incurred as a direct result of: the purchase of a rental property, the purchase of a depreciating asset for the rental property (eg. new dishwasher), cost of repairs, financing renovations for your rental premises or the acquisition of land on which to build rental accommodation.
Prepaid loan interest – you can also claim interest you’ve pre-paid up to 12 months in advance. This can be a useful way to bring a tax deduction forward into the current tax year if you have a particularly high-earning year that pushes you into the next tax bracket.
Claiming a tax deduction on loan interest
It’s important to note with regard to interest related deductions, if you use a portion of your loan for any private purpose, such as buying a new car, you cannot claim interest on that portion of the loan.
No Longer Tax Deductible: Investor Travel Perks
While the government asserted it would leave negative gearing entitlements untouched prior to this year’s federal budget announcement, they did wind back one significant tax perk: travel expense claims related to rental assets.
Whereas it used to be possible to claim travel expenses when visiting a rental property (even interstate) this is no longer the case.
