The residential transformation of St Kilda Road is set to continue into with more new apartment plans for the sought-after boulevard.

Wing Tai Asia has lodged plans for a major residential tower at 464-466 St Kilda Road, replacing the former VACC House with an 18-storey mixed-use development designed around a retained heritage podium and a sculpted contemporary tower.

The proposal, prepared under Victoria’s Significant Residential Development with Affordable Housing pathway, would deliver 325 apartments and ground-floor retail across the prominent 4,653 sqm boulevard site in Melbourne’s St Kilda Road North Precinct.

The project centres on the adaptive reuse of the site’s heritage-listed VACC Building, an eight-storey office designed by Bernard Evans that has occupied the address for decades. Planning documents state the development would involve “carefully dismantling and conserving off-site the original metal fabric of the podium visible from St Kilda Road,” before reinstating it as the defining frontage of the new scheme.

Above the restored podium, Wing Tai is proposing a curvilinear residential tower. The scheme includes 172 one-bedroom apartments, 63 two-bedroom apartments, 66 three-bedroom apartments, and 24 four-bedroom apartments, alongside two ground-floor food and beverage tenancies fronting St Kilda Road.

The tower has been designed with substantial articulation and variable setbacks to minimise perceived bulk and maintain view corridors along the boulevard. Urbis, which prepared the planning report, said the design “has been significantly articulated through a curvilinear design” with “an interplay with materials, façade expression and depth” to create visual separation and visual interest.

The proposal also includes 254 basement car spaces, landscaped pedestrian links connecting St Kilda Road and Queens Lane, and a biophilic landscape strategy featuring canopy trees, raised planters, cascading greenery and a glass oculus pool overlooking the eastern frontage.

Planning documents confirm the $270.1 million development will contribute 3 per cent of project costs to the Social Housing Growth Fund as part of the application process.

Wing Tai acquired the St Kilda Road property in 2018 alongside Abacus Property Group for $95.38 million, before later consolidating ownership of the site. The property previously served as the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce headquarters for around 60 years.

The transformation of the St Kilda Rd boulevard is already beginning to materialise, with a number of high-profile projects recently completed, launched, or approaching launch as developers continue to back the long-term appeal of the precinct.

Among the most notable recent completions is Louise by Samuel Property Group, just off the strip on Queens Lane, the same pocket Hirsch &amp; Faigen recently launched The Queensbury. Mirvac is too on the same street with The Albertine, which is approaching completion.

Dexus recently secured approval for its slice of St Kilda Road, while Gurner also has approved plans for the precinct.

Wing Tai unveils 325-apartment St Kilda Road tower on former VACC House site

Malaysian developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> is the latest to jump into St Leonards booming Transport Oriented Development precinct.

The developer, which has previously delivered Sapphire by the Gardens apartment development in Melbourne, identified the Atchison Street site in 2023. It filed a Scoping Report around 12 months ago, and now has revealed the designs for the new&nbsp;40-storey mixed-use tower.

The State Significant Development Application covers <a href="https://next-portal.urban.com.au/projects/14650/summary">20-22 Atchison Street</a>, a 1,374 sqm site positioned between St Leonards Station and the new Crows Nest Metro station.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the project would deliver 181 apartments, above a four-storey commercial podium, five basement levels, and new public domain works along Mitchell Street. The apartment mix comprises 35 one-bedroom apartments, 39 one-bedroom-plus-study apartments, 85 two-bedroom apartments, and 22 three-bedroom residences.

The proposal has been lodged as a shop-top housing development under the NSW Government’s TOD planning pathway, which allows increased density around key transport infrastructure. The site sits within the recently rezoned Crows Nest Accelerated TOD Precinct.

<img alt="First look: SP Setia targets St Leonards skyline with 40-storey TOD tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b799673d-48e2-46b0-801a-0e33a9330100" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/atchinson%20site.png?VersionId=dPh0UfwfaHpbFL1R7H1cbZNbIW0CHbCC" />

SP Setia acquired the Atchison Street site as part of its continued expansion into the Australian apartment market. In comments made to City &amp; Country (The Edge Malaysia) in 2023, SP Setia President and CEO Datuk Choong Kai Wai described the acquisition as “a strategic move” aligned with the group’s post-pandemic market recovery strategy.

“Our target for this exceptional development is local and overseas buyers, including first-home buyers, downsizers and investors,” Choong said.

The tower has been designed as a slender vertical form rising from a mixed-use podium, with COX Architecture positioning the development as a response to the evolving St Leonards and Crows Nest skyline.

“The purpose of the project is to facilitate the delivery of high-quality housing at a strategically located site and deliver a built tower outcome that is consistent with the desired future character of St Leonards and aligns with the TOD controls,” the design report stated.

The podium would incorporate retail uses fronting Atchison Street, commercial tenancies, landscaped communal areas, and pedestrian improvements along Mitchell Street. Vehicle access and loading would be consolidated via Atchison Lane.

Residents would have access to more than 665 sqm of communal indoor and outdoor spaces, while the development proposes 96 parking spaces across five basement levels.

The proposal also includes a commitment for 10 per cent of residential floor space to be allocated toward affordable housing through a monetary contribution.

COX said the tower form responds directly to the emerging high-density character of the precinct while seeking to maximise solar access, cross ventilation, and outlook from apartments.

“The building is orientated towards north,” the Apartment Design Guide compliance report noted, adding that the tower’s slim form was driven by the constrained inner-urban site dimensions.

The design also incorporates landscaped setbacks and communal open space at podium level, intended to soften the interface with surrounding streets and improve pedestrian amenity.

The project adds to a growing wave of redevelopment proposals reshaping St Leonards and Crows Nest following the opening of the Sydney Metro City line and the NSW Government’s push for higher-density housing around major transport nodes.

Last week Stockland filed plans just down the road. They want to build a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/601-pacific-highway-st-leonards-nsw-2065">52-storey tower on Pacific Highway</a>.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/urban-property-group">Urban Property Group</a> has revealed plans for a new mixed-use tower at 10 Dangar Street, Wickham, advancing a proposal that would reshape the southern gateway to Newcastle’s city centre with one of the city’s tallest residential buildings.

The State Significant Development proposal, now on exhibition, seeks approval for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/bowline-10-dangar-street-wickham-nsw-2293">43-storey tower</a> immediately adjacent to the Newcastle Interchange. The project would deliver around 200 apartments, including 42 affordable housing dwellings, alongside 99 co-living units, a 171-room hotel, retail space, and new public domain integrated through the site.

The scheme marks a significant escalation of plans previously approved for the site. Urban Property Group took over the prominent 2,904 sqm parcel, where excavation and demolition had already commenced under an earlier consent for a 14-storey mixed-use development.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="58a96dd9-407f-4d20-86b4-94e4bfeef74b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20podium.png?VersionId=LGlf08pdFGAZDzvx_CXC4XakHNZRuEE0" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, the tower has been conceived as a landmark transit-oriented development anchored to the Newcastle Interchange precinct. The proposal includes 245 build-to-sell apartments across a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom residences, as well as two penthouses. Fifteen apartments and one operational unit are earmarked for NDIS housing. The co-living component would add a further 99 units, while the podium would accommodate retail uses and hotel facilities.

SJB said the site presents “a valuable opportunity to anchor the precinct by setting the standard for design, active ground planes and character at the key southern gateway.”

The architecture responds directly to the site’s position beside major transport infrastructure and within one of Newcastle’s fastest-evolving urban renewal precincts. The tower form sits above a sculpted podium designed to frame new public spaces, including a through-site pedestrian link connecting Station Street to Hannell Street, landscaped plazas, and activated retail edges.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a7bd6ff0-f7db-4ce8-a6dc-ea56e72c6149" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20lanne.png?VersionId=xzf39VADyhj7zBQY2I9fx9vI62u2tuSb" />

The design report describes the project as part of the broader transition of Wickham into “a vibrant, high-quality mixed-use urban precinct” that leverages proximity to the station, open space, and regional connectivity.

A detailed public art strategy has also been prepared for the development. The strategy positions the project as “a transit-oriented development of state significance at the gateway to Newcastle’s city centre” and outlines a series of integrated artworks responding to Newcastle’s industrial and transport heritage.

Creative Road’s curatorial framework for the project, titled Unveil, draws on “stratified surfaces, carved volumes, and light-filled apertures” while referencing Newcastle’s transformation from an industrial city into a contemporary education and technology hub.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="77a882bb-14b1-4d28-99ff-9438e39508c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20site.png?VersionId=cevgo_vN0eKPK78P8YcEu3mKPLkpFqE7" />

The proposal is being advanced through the NSW Housing Delivery Authority pathway after being declared State Significant Development in June 2025. The accompanying scoping report states the development aims to “maximise the site’s proximity to the Newcastle Interchange by delivering transit-oriented development” while increasing housing supply and affordable housing provision within the Newcastle LGA.

Urban Property Group’s plans align with the long-term strategic vision established under the Wickham Master Plan, which identified the interchange precinct as suitable for substantial uplift in height and density. The current proposal would significantly intensify that vision, positioning the tower among the tallest developments proposed for Newcastle.

The site sits immediately north of the Newcastle Interchange, bounded by Dangar Street, Hannell Street, and Charles Street. It is surrounded by a rapidly growing cluster of residential towers and mixed-use projects that have emerged following the completion of the light rail and transport interchange.

Bottega House has completed settlement of a landmark riverfront site in Macquarie Street, St Lucia, representing its first major Brisbane development.&nbsp;

Positioned on the banks of the Brisbane River, the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/180-macquarie-street-st-lucia-qld-4067">premium site at 180 Macquarie Street</a> features uninterrupted river frontage in one of Brisbane’s most tightly held residential precincts.&nbsp;

The proposed development, currently under assessment with Brisbane City Council, has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-studio">Plus Studio</a> with interiors by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/mim-design">Mim Design</a> and will deliver a boutique collection of premium residences positioned specifically for owner occupiers and downsizers.&nbsp;

The residences are set to redefine luxury apartment living in the area, with a focus on architectural quality, refined finishes, landscape integration and elevated amenities including curated wellness facilities, resort-style pools and recreation spaces rarely seen in the local market.&nbsp;

Exclusive sales for the project will be led by Keenan &amp; Byrne, ahead of an anticipated launch later this year.&nbsp;

Bottega House Managing Director Nick Malloch said the project reflects the group’s ambition to deliver a highly curated residential offering within one of Brisbane’s most tightly held precincts.&nbsp;

“This is an incredibly rare riverfront opportunity and one we have approached with a long-term perspective,” Malloch said.&nbsp;

“Our vision from the outset was to create a boutique collection of residences that feel more like private homes than traditional apartments, with generous proportions, refined finishes and exceptional amenity throughout."

Malloch says there is a&nbsp;lack of premium owner-occupier stock of this quality in the market, particularly for downsizers wanting space, privacy and a true lifestyle offering without compromise.&nbsp;

"Demand is expected to be strong given the scarcity of premium riverfront opportunities of this nature within Brisbane’s inner-west."&nbsp;

The arrival of the first piling rig officially marks the commencement of construction at SIERA’s new beachside apartment development, Exhale, in Northcliffe.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/exhale-surfers-paradise-8-enderley-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Exhale</a>, a glass-encased tower featuring 54 large-scale apartments at 8 Enderley Avenue, is SIERA’s third Gold Coast development. It follows the recently completed PIPIS Bilinga beachfront project, which achieved suburb-record prices, and the soon-to-be-completed Chevron Island development, Tapestry.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=359603]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/siera">SIERA</a> Founder and Managing Director Brent Thompson said the arrival of the piling rig represented a significant milestone for the development, which is scheduled for completion in late 2028.

Over the next month, around 260 piles are expected to be installed as work progresses on the basement structure. The building is anticipated to rise above ground level early next year, before unveiling its sculptural glass curtain wall, developed in collaboration with specialist façade engineers.

“The façade was designed to maximise panoramic coastal views while creating a distinctive architectural identity,” Thompson said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=355935]

Designed by BDA Architecture, Exhale will comprise just 54 two- and three-bedroom residences across 26 levels, a level of low-density living rarely delivered in this beachside pocket between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach.

The project has been conceived as a resident-only building, with no short-stay accommodation permitted. SIERA says the model is intended to appeal to long-term owner-occupiers rather than transient holiday demand.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=361052]

Residences have been designed with large-format layouts and expansive glazing, with most apartments featuring more than 30 metres of glass frontage to maximise natural light and ocean views.

The amenity offering spans two levels and centres on wellness and lifestyle, including a heated magnesium pool, sauna, yoga and Pilates studio, gymnasium, private dining facilities, cinema lounge, and dedicated surfcraft storage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=359607]

More than half of the apartments have already sold. SIERA has also opened a sales gallery for Exhale at its Chevron Island commercial premises, near its Tapestry tower and the site of its second Chevron Island apartment development, which is slated to launch in early 2027.

The latest development transforming Melbourne&rsquo;s south-eastern suburb of Malvern East is Landream&rsquo;s Hurstmon.

Boasting 39 residences in two and three-bedroom configurations, Hurstmon forms an eye-catching landmark while complementing the rich history of the suburb.

Designed by Telha Clarke, the project has a &ldquo;hidden-gem quality&rdquo; that extends into each residence and its layered textures, according to architect Tim Clarke.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807 project_image_fid=84185]

One of the highlights of the project is the beautiful gardens and landscaping curated by Eckersley Garden Architecture (E-GA).

Urban recently sat down with E-GA&rsquo;s Scott Leung and Eleanor Cook to discuss the luxury development.

MK: How many multi-residential projects have Eckersley Garden Architecture been contracted on within Victoria?

SL+EC: E-GA are currently contracted to 28 mutli-resi developments around the inner suburbs of Melbourne, including South Yarra, Malvern, Malvern East, Hawthorn, Kew and Toorak.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807 project_image_fid=84190]

MK: What spoke to you about Hurstmon in particular?

SL+EC: Locality in a very leafy suburb of Malvern and the proximity to the parklands

MK: What was the design brief for the project&#39;s landscaping?

SL+EC: Malvern is very well known for its green gardens, so the brief was one of symbiosis with the architecture and the neighbourhood. Keep it purely gardenesque, understated and relaxing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807 project_image_fid=84184]

MK: Where did you take your inspiration from?

SL+EC: Inspiration definitely comes from nature, so we do our best to represent nature in the gardens we design translated to an urban context for this project.

MK: How did you synthesise the development with the existing landscaping and greenery in the surrounding streets of Malvern East?

SL+EC: The key to making a project feel as though it was always part of the street fabric is to take note of the neighbourhood plant species. This way you can see what works as well as introduce some of these plants or similar species into the new landscape and stitching the street together.

Nothing better than borrowed landscape to enhance a garden.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807 project_image_fid=84191]

MK: What was the biggest challenge during the design process?

SL+EC: As always there is a variety challenges with multi-residential projects however the one that stands out is the working of plant species across many levels and aspects.

At least it enables greater plant selection and diversity which is a big plus.

MK: How important is the choice of plants in a project such as this?

SL+EC: Plant selection is a majority priority for the success of the garden. Aspect will determine choice to ensure the plants longevity and tolerances. Nothing more fulfilling than seeing a garden thrive in all conditions

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4807 project_image_fid=84192]

MK: What have you tried to do in the design that the average homebuyer may not notice straight away?

SL+EC:&nbsp;Planting combinations in a garden may seems natural but it takes a lot of knowledge on how a plant develops over time as well as how the layers form.

If this is done correctly a new owner can enjoy the experience the growth of the garden, even take ownership, much like a new developing child throughout the seasons.

Landscape designer Rick Eckersley has listed Musk Cottage at Flinders on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula through RT Edgar.
It is Eckersley's 12-year labour of love on Musk Creek Road, having paid $2 million in 2006.
Rick, who grew up on a cattle and wool grazing property in Macarthur, in the Western District, studied at Burnley Horticultural College as a mature-age student.
He worked for Berwick City Council for three weeks, before leaving to start his own landscaping business.
<a href="https://e-ga.com.au/blog/2018/08/open-gardens-victoria-musk-cottage-spring-season-launch/" target="_blank">The four hectare weekender</a> was bought when it was almost entirely mown lawn with Eckersley wanting the garden "to look like a Fred Williams painting".
Using mostly Australian plants, it is a low-maintenance private garden, but also the test bed for his business, with Scott Leung and Myles Broad having shared credit for the garden's design.
Open Gardens Victoria's spring season of events launched last weekend with the opening of the garden at Musk Cottage.
The four-hectare spread includes dramatic sweeps of contrasting plants - think black-trunked ironbarks under-planted with wave-pruned privet and linden trees juxtaposed with lomandra.
it is both the private garden of leading designer Rick Eckersley and the test bed for his Melbourne practice.
In establishing Musk Cottage in 2008, the aim was a sustainable, low-maintenance, quintessentially Australian.
Scott Leung, who with Eckersley and Myles Broad, shares credit for the garden's design.

Fleming’s Nurseries has joined forces with developer Goldfields on its Winterfield project, to deliver landscaping across the entire development.
The nursery and landscape business will provide a selection of front garden designs that are to be included in the purchase of an allotment at the master-planned development.
There are six designs purchasers can choose from – all designed by Fleming’s at the direction of horticulturalist Wes Fleming.
Fleming has led the landscape plan for Winterfield (pictured) which will see a focus on trees and plants across the new community. He is previously known for his work with nine winning gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show in London.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2017/04/28/rsz_fleming.png" width="700" height="425">
“We hope to deliver outdoor spaces that enhance the beauty of Ballarat – rich in its flora and fauna and open green space,” Fleming said of the collaboration.
“Not only will purchasers receive a free front garden, they can also relish in the area’s natural surrounds and relaxed environment – something we worked hard to create and that will complement the Winterfield lifestyle.”
The development is also set to landscape 14 hectares of gardens and open green space, including the re-invigoration of the area’s existing creek to create multiple parks, wetlands and playgrounds.
Goldfields’ managing director, Marco Gattino, confirmed that Winterfield’s partnership with Fleming was centred on delivering a healthy lifestyle for all its residents.
“We wanted to make sure residents could enjoy their surroundings – both inside their home and when they are out in the community, which is why the landscaping has been a major focus from the outset,” Gattino explained.
“The five neighbourhoods within Winterfield will each have a distinguishing signature tree, such as the Golden Rain Tree and the Montpellier, adding to the aesthetic,” he said.
“Wes Fleming’s approach to Winterfield delivers something fresh to the market - it’s unlike any other development in Australia – it really does set a new benchmark for master-planned communities.”
Winterfield is currently selling blocks in Stage One with lot sizes ranging from 544sqm to 615sqm, and prices from $125,000.

Meredith Kirton, a former presenter on Gardening Australia, has secured the pre-auction sale of her Putney home.
It has been the family home of the horticulturalist, author and broadcaster and her husband Michael Bradfield since they paid $345,000 in 1997.
The Frances Rd home, positioned on the high side of the street with <a href="https://www.firstnationalnorth.com.au/buy-residential-real-estate/house-36-frances-road-putney-nsw-11364100494" target="_blank">views across Morrison Bay</a>, is a three-bedroom cottage.
It was built entirely of termite-proof white cedar sourced from the Walgett farm owned by the original owners 100 years old.
It sold through First National agent Benjamin Mulae and Angie Wong who were giving $1.8 million plus price guidance seemingly secured close to $2 million.
