Around 400 additional homes could be built at Southwark Grounds on Port Road, lifting total site capacity from 1300 to around 1700 dwellings.

A recently approved code amendment would allow apartment towers of up to 14 storeys in some areas of Renewal SA’s redevelopment of the former West End Brewery.

Renewal SA Acting Chief Executive Shane Wingard said he welcomed the code amendment, with the increase in heights and homes making a positive impact on the supply of high-quality, well-connected housing close to the city.

“By going higher across some parts of Southwark Grounds, we are adding a substantial number of very well-located homes with little impact on project delivery time or planned open space,” Mr Wingard said.

Since the project officially launched in 2025, Mr Wingard said more than 12,000 enquiries had been received about living at Southwark Grounds.

“The very strong early interest we’ve seen since homes were first released in the precinct reinforces our plans to create more housing opportunities,” he said.

The Southwark Grounds code amendment was launched in December last year, with community engagement undertaken over five weeks from January.

It proposed increasing maximum building heights from eight to 14 storeys on the eastern section of Southwark Grounds, and to 12 storeys across the remainder of the site, with minimum building heights ranging from two to four storeys.

The code amendment was implemented through an Early Commencement policy in late January, allowing developers to quickly explore the viability of increased height and housing yield while other planning processes continue.

One of the first developers delivering apartment sites have already finalised redesigns to increase the number of apartments following the code amendment.

Samaras’ development adjacent to the future Colonel Light Park is now planning to deliver 125 apartments across 11 storeys, significantly greater than original plans of around 50 apartments across four storeys.

The developer is also exploring the potential for additional affordable housing outcomes.

Most of the apartments at Southwark Grounds will be delivered within a master-planned precinct on a large parcel of land on the eastern portion of the site, covering around two-thirds of its 8.4 hectares.

Wingard said detailed precinct planning over the coming months may identify further opportunities to increase yield further that could see total apartment numbers at Southwark Grounds, exceed this number.

Affordable homes at Southwark Grounds will also see a net increase, with Renewal SA maintaining its commitment to a minimum of 20 per cent affordable housing across the development.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Civil works have begun across the site, with construction under way on the first new roads surrounding a townhouse precinct in the south‑west corner of Southwark Grounds. This includes Renewal SA’s 17 Founder’s Row homes, which are on track for completion by Christmas.

“We expect to have people living at Southwark Grounds by the end of the year, so delivering roads and public spaces for those residents is among our highest priorities.”

Construction of 40 townhouses off Anderson Street, known as West Village and being delivered by Contour, is forecast to begin in mid‑2026. Kolabb’s Anderson Lane development will follow shortly after, delivering a further 26 townhouses.

Southwark Grounds is a state government‑led urban renewal project now set to deliver around 1,700 homes over the next decade.

Homes will be supported by a supermarket, a range of retail and hospitality offerings anchored by a revitalised Walkerville Brew Tower, a childcare centre, car parking and well‑connected public spaces.

400 new homes planned for Adelaide's former West End Brewery site

Brisbane developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/cavcorp">Cavcorp</a> has lodged plans for a new mixed-use residential development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/55-wyandra-street-teneriffe-qld-4005">55 Wyandra Street</a>, Teneriffe, anchored by an 85-metre public laneway designed to reconnect the suburb’s riverfront with the Gasworks precinct.

The buildings, known as Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane, would replace the existing Queensland Cotton head office site with a 15-storey residential tower transitioning to eight storeys toward Helen Street. The project has been designed by Plazibat Architects and lodged as a code assessable development application for 93 apartments across a 3,401 sqm mixed-use site within the Newstead and Teneriffe Waterfront neighbourhood plan.

Central to the scheme is the transformation of an existing service easement into a publicly accessible cross-block connection linking Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the new laneway will act as both a pedestrian shortcut and a landscaped civic space between the Teneriffe Riverwalk, ferry terminal, and Gasworks precinct.

<img alt="First Look: Cavcorp unveils Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane plans for landmark wellness tower in Teneriffe" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="26e7f058-b065-4de8-b13d-a2b8cb64dfcc" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/bldg.png?VersionId=sELS0ZKYi361oYipUa1BIKfe_.DLZoFV" />

“The revised proposal delivers a legacy public-realm cross-block link, permanently secured for community use, transforming an existing private easement into a safe, high-quality pedestrian connection between the Teneriffe heritage riverwalk and the Gasworks–Long Island precinct,” the planning report states.

The laneway will sit beneath a large subtropical loggia integrated into the podium levels of the development. The design incorporates deep landscaping, water gardens, lobby spaces, business lounges, and ground-floor apartments to create what Cavcorp describes as a climate-responsive “urban verandah.”

The tower itself has been designed as a slender form with recessed floorplates and curved translucent corners inspired by contemporary Japanese architecture. The building height aligns with the Commercial Road precinct controls, which permit towers up to 15 storeys within proximity to Longland Street.

The project will comprise a mix of larger-format apartments aimed at owner-occupiers, downsizers, and families. The proposed apartment mix includes 11 loggia apartments across the lower levels, 50 four-bedroom Sky-Terrace apartments from levels three to seven, and 32 Sky-Pool Homes occupying the upper tower levels. The Sky-Pool Homes will feature private thermal plunge pools integrated into oversized balconies.

According to the application, the apartments are intended to reinterpret the scale and character of Teneriffe’s woolstore conversions and Queensland homes within a vertical residential format.

“The sky-pool homes build on Cavcorp’s previous projects and introduce a distinct apartment typology to Teneriffe, informed by both local and international precedent and responding to an identified market demand for enhanced safety, space and amenity,” the planning submission notes.

A major focus of the proposal is its five-level wellness and lifestyle offering, extending from the basement through to the rooftop.

Amenities proposed include a rooftop Swim &amp; Racquet Club with a 25-metre Olympic lap pool and tennis court, coworking spaces and libraries, golf simulators, wine storage, concierge facilities, business lounges, pet wash areas, and rooftop longevity-focused wellness spaces with spas, outdoor fitness zones, and landscaped terraces.

All parking will be concealed within basement levels accessed from Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the deep-basement engineering approach allows the entire ground plane to prioritise landscaping, pedestrian movement, and active frontage rather than vehicle infrastructure.

The development continues Cavcorp’s concentration in Newstead and Teneriffe, where the Brisbane developer has delivered a number of apartment projects including Lucent, Le Bain, and Luminare, as well as the Long Island Wellness Precinct nearby. Several of those projects have received national design and architecture awards, including recognition under Brisbane’s “Buildings that Breathe” program.

Focus Group Investments has lodged plans for a new apartment development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/64-70-hanover-street-fitzroy-vic-3065">64–70 Hanover Street</a> in Fitzroy, seeking to utilise the Victorian Government’s recently introduced Great Design Fast Track pathway to accelerate approvals for the project.

The proposal is among the latest developments to emerge through the state-led initiative, which was established to fast-track well-designed residential projects in activity centres and transport-connected inner-city locations. The pathway allows qualifying developments that meet elevated design and housing benchmarks to bypass traditional council planning timeframes and instead be assessed directly by the Department of Transport and Planning.

Designed by SJB, the development will comprise a mix of apartments above activated lower levels, with a strong focus on architectural articulation, landscaping, and communal amenity. The design response seeks to balance the industrial character of Richmond’s former warehouse precincts with a more contemporary residential form.

<img alt="First look: Focus Group Investments taps Victoria’s Great Design Fast Track for Richmond apartments" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="abea51cc-d85b-479e-9aef-a589f3b37ca7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/ground.png?VersionId=e1Kf8EyPWwyiVumtqQ4rM5S4GpOR3CCz" />

Proposed are 63 new dwellings, a wide ranging mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, and townhouses and duplexes. They will be spread across a part-three, part-eight storey building.

The Planning and Urban Context Report by Tract says the development is of an "exemplary architectural standard" and has been carefully crafted by SJB Architects.

"Dwellings&nbsp;will benefit from excellent access to natural light, cross-ventilation opportunities and extensive communal space," the report noted.

The architectural material highlights the project’s integration of landscaped elements and communal spaces throughout the building. The proposal also incorporates sustainability initiatives aligned with the Victorian Government’s push for higher-performing apartment developments under the fast-track program.

The Great Design Fast Track was unveiled by the Victorian Government in 2024 as part of a broader housing supply strategy aimed at accelerating the delivery of new homes. Projects assessed through the pathway must demonstrate high-quality architecture, sustainability outcomes, and housing diversity while being located close to public transport and existing infrastructure.

Focus Group, founder and led by Paul De Lutiis, is increasingly active across Melbourne’s inner suburbs, targeting well-connected urban renewal locations suited to medium and higher-density residential development. The Fitzroy proposal continues that strategy, leveraging the area’s strong transport links, established retail amenity, and proximity to the CBD.

Fitzroy has been one of the most popular spots for developers and buyers in recent years. The likes of PACE Development Group, SMA Projects, Crema Group and Chapter Group, currently selling projects in the suburb.

The Gold Coast Planning Committee has supported the preliminary approval for the Benowa Gardens Urban Village project following an extensive community consultation and assessment process.

The proposal will now proceed to a full council vote on June 2.

The application sought approval for a masterplanned urban village on the existing Benowa Gardens Shopping Centre site, combining new housing, retail, dining, health and lifestyle amenities within a walkable, integrated precinct.&nbsp;

The proposed redevelopment includes around 413 apartments integrated above a revitalised mixed-use centre featuring a full-line supermarket of 4,000 sqm, 6,000 sqm of specialty retail and dining space across around 30 retailers, a 7,000 sqm health and wellness precinct, and roughly 9,630 sqm of office and medical suites.&nbsp;

<img alt="$1b Benowa Gardens Urban Village moves to Full Council following Planning Committee support" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fb36ae47-80bc-45f0-9914-31b0c7b6007d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/PR26576%20Ashmore%20Road%20C4%201121%20FI.jpg?VersionId=6mRKk2uU4r67TmTt39DKGUlvFRbTVqWa" />

The broader masterplan also includes very significant traffic and transport improvements, wide pedestrian walkways, upgraded pedestrian and cycle connections, and enhanced public areas designed to create a more connected and walkable community environment.&nbsp;

Centre owner Patrick Lu said the milestone reflected months of detailed planning, technical assessment and ongoing communication with local residents, businesses, schools and stakeholders.

“We appreciate the time, consideration and care Council officers and the Planning Committee have given this proposal throughout the assessment process,” Lu said.

“We also sincerely thank the local community for engaging with us, sharing feedback and participating in the consultation process over many months.

<img alt="$1b Benowa Gardens Urban Village moves to Full Council following Planning Committee support" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="32fd1fc3-d0e6-485f-ac57-9916c9bcb818" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/PR26576%20Ashmore%20Road%20C5%201121%20FI_2.jpg?VersionId=fz8qQKDBLQ7MyFRc856Zccfbh9nFwLOe" />

“We understand projects of this scale bring questions and concerns, which is why we have worked hard to listen carefully, provide information transparently and continue refining elements of the proposal where possible.

“Our vision has always been to create a well-designed, community-focused urban village that responds to the changing needs of the Gold Coast, while delivering improved amenity, housing diversity, healthcare access and local lifestyle benefits.

“This proposal is about creating a genuine live-work-play environment where residents can access everyday services, schools, healthcare, dining, shopping and green space within walking distance, while also supporting local jobs and economic activity.”

Lu said the proposal had evolved significantly through consultation and technical review, particularly around traffic, pedestrian and student safety and neighbourhood connectivity.&nbsp;

Melissa Griffin, Director at Urbis, said the recommendation recognised the strategic importance of delivering more housing and services within established urban areas already supported by infrastructure.

“This proposal represents the type of thoughtful, integrated growth that planning frameworks across South-East Queensland are encouraging,” Ms Griffin said.

“The project seeks to place housing, retail, healthcare and employment opportunities together in a highly accessible location close to schools, transport and existing services.

“Importantly, the process has involved significant technical assessment and community engagement to ensure local issues and feedback were properly considered throughout the planning pathway.”

Surfers Paradise is officially set for its first new residential development with a 45-storey skybridge connecting the two towers.

John Camilleri’s Celestino Developments has been given the green light by the Gold Coast City Council to develop its major beachfront precinct across its huge 4,000 sqm oceanfront site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/63-79-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">63–79 Garfield Terrace</a>, just five months after its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/first-look-exclusive-billionaire-winx-breeder-s-bold-two-tower-surfers-paradise-play-with-45th-storey-skybridge">submission in late 2025</a>.

The approved scheme will deliver two towers rising 55 and 48 storeys, connected by a skybridge positioned on level 45 that will house a range of resident-only wellness and entertainment spaces.

In its notice of approval, the Gold Coast City Council said the&nbsp;proposed overall built form has been designed to complement the scale, intensity and protect the adjacent amenity and surrounding streets through the use of varied setbacks, site cover and architectural elements.

<img alt="First look exclusive: Billionaire Winx breeder’s bold two-tower Surfers Paradise play with 45th-storey skybridge" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.53.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=ADyPJ_TFbJvSU9wZFOiCBnlPtgF7VWqW" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/dbi">DBI</a>, the development will comprise 275 apartments across the two towers, including a mix of two-, three-, and four-bedroom residences, as well as several penthouses. The apartments will sit above a landscaped podium featuring more than 90 metres of beachfront pool frontage, private resident lawns, lounges, and wellness spaces.

DBI said the design draws heavily from the movement and form of the coastal environment, with curving balcony lines and sculpted façades intended to soften the scale of the towers while maximising ocean outlooks and passive shading outcomes.

“The project occupies a rare, uninterrupted oceanfront site and has been shaped by a design philosophy that merges architectural elegance with environmental responsiveness and a carefully curated lifestyle experience,” DBI said in planning documents submitted to the Gold Coast City Council.

The most distinctive element of the approved project is the skybridge linking the two towers at level 45. The elevated communal space is planned to include executive lounges, formal dining areas, wellness facilities, and panoramic ocean-facing outlooks.

“The skybridge enhances the identity of the development, promotes social interaction, and delivers a lifestyle experience not found elsewhere on the Gold Coast,” DBI said.

At podium level, residents will have access to a suite of resort-style amenities, including resident lounges, private dining rooms, a yoga lawn, gymnasium, plunge pools, and treatment spaces. The beachfront pool has been designed with separate lap, lounge, and children’s areas extending across the width of the site.

The project will also introduce new food and beverage offerings along the Enderley Avenue and Oceanway frontages, contributing additional activation to the beachfront precinct.

Melbourne is undergoing massive infrastructure works as part of Victoria's $11 billion Metro Rail Project.

The Metro Rail Project includes the construction of twin nine-kilometre rail tunnels from <a href="/developments/kensington-vic-3031">Kensington</a> to <a href="/developments/south-yarra-vic-3141">South Yarra</a> as part of a new end-to-end service from <a href="/developments/sunshine-vic-3020">Sunshine</a> to <a href="/developments/dandenong-vic-3175">Dandenong</a>.

Five new underground train stations are also being built for the project: <a href="/developments/north-melbourne-vic-3051">North Melbourne</a>, <a href="/developments/parkville-vic-3052">Parkville</a>, State Library, Town Hall, and ANZAC.&nbsp;

The stations will not only enhance public transport accessibility but also offer retail opportunities and benefits to the local areas. The new stations are also expected to alleviate congestion in the Swanston Street/St Kilda Road tram corridor in particular.

ANZAC Station,&nbsp;situated at the corner of St Kilda Road and Domain Road, is set to be a game changer for the St Kilda Rd precinct when it opens in 2025 on the edge of the Shrine of Remembrance Reserve. It will be just one stop to the CBD.

It will serve thousands of residents and workers in the area, with a daily passenger capacity of up to 40,000 by 2031. The station is designed with a distinctive canopy above the tram interchange and will have three main entrances for an integrated passenger experience.

We've had a look at what's being developed in the area, and which new projects will take advantage of the new station.

<h2>Project: Victoriana</h2>

<h3>Address: 20 Queens Road, Melbourne VIC 3004</h3>

<h3>Developer: CDG Group</h3>

Developed by <a href="/developers/cdg-group">CDG</a> and <a href="/developers/eramount">Eramount</a>, <a href="/buildings/victoriana-melbourne-20-queens-road-melbourne">Victoriana</a> rises above one of Melbourne’s most distinguished and prominent boulevards and a major gateway to the CBD, St. Kilda Road.

St Kilda Rd has some of <a href="/developments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a>'s most iconic residential buildings, adjacent to Queens Road which flanks Albert Park Lake and is just a stone's throw away from the upcoming ANZAC Station.

Designed by the multi-disciplined and award-winning architectural practice, <a>Rothelowman</a>, Victoriana stands tall at 18 levels and elegantly slopes between Melbourne Central Activities district and St Kilda Junction, preserving views of the Shrine of Remembrance. This design reduces the visual impact on nearby homes and improves Queens Road's landscaping.

Completed in March 2021 by <a href="/builders/hickory">Hickory</a>, Victoriana boasts 250 oversized two, three, and four-bedroom apartments, including a super penthouse occupying the entire 16th floor.

While most modern apartments feature communal swimming pools, Victoriana elevates the experience by providing residents with their very own pools.

There's a heated 25-metre indoor swimming pool, a steam room and a sauna, as well as a state-of-the-art gym, equipped with cardio and weights, a lounge and garden terrace, and services like concierge assistance, secure video intercom entry, high-speed lift access, and a porte-cochere.

South Melbourne, one of the Melbourne's oldest suburban areas with well-preserved Victorian-era homes amidst cosmopolitan amenities, continues to evolve and revive itself into a melting pot of culture, heritage and contemporary living.&nbsp;

Nic Crema, head of <a href="/developers/crema-group">Projects by Crema</a>, wanted to bring something different to his Palmerston Crescent site, between three of Melbourne's best parks and conveniently located near St Kilda Rd.

The result is <a href="/buildings/the-eighth-south-melbourne-22-kings-place-south-melbourne">The Eighth</a>, a mixed-use development of commercial office space, 36 high-end apartments, a resident rooftop with swimming pool and bar, and a new holistic corporate wellbeing business taking up the whole of the podium level.

Designed by Elenberg Fraser and Kennon, the 18-level building has recently completed, welcoming its first residents over the Christmas break.

While South Melbourne is well known for its markets, The Eighth offers a different lens of <a href="/new-apartments/south-melbourne-vic-3205">South Melbourne</a>, while still only being a few kilometres from the hotspot which draws visitors from all across Melbourne.

The Eighth is in an ideal transport pocket, just off the bus stops on Park Street, a few hundred metres to St Kilda Road which runs in and out of the city, as well as the new Anzac Station which is expected to be a game changer for the precinct when it opens in 2025.

Convenience is at the foot of the building in the Palms Cafe and&nbsp;Beppi's Wine Bar on the ground floor. Coffee spots are plentiful nearby, with&nbsp;The Kettle Black and Albertchino Cafe just around the corner, while The Olive Tree, next door to The Eighth, is the perfect spot for seafood and steak. Another popular food option is Japanese bento at Oishii Tokyo, two minutes from the doorstep.

The Clarendon Street shopping strip, Coles, and The Clarendon Centre shopping mall are only a 15-minute walk down the road, while the famous South Melbourne Market is a 25-minute stroll away from The Eighth.&nbsp;

Homemade Donuts, Simply Spanish and other cuisine restaurants in South Melbourne's covered food market sit alongside fresh fruit and vegetable stores, butchers, seafood vendors, coffee shops, fashion boutiques, souvenir stores, and florists.

Residents can visit several sports centres, pet stores, Officeworks, salons, home goods stores, bars and eateries, knowing home at The Eighth is just a stroll away.

The Eighth offers three and four-bedroom apartments ranging from 128 to 256 sqm starting at $1.595 million, featuring an open-plan living, modern kitchen, stone baths and private lift access.

Since launching the redevelopment of Moonee Valley Park back in 2019, Melbourne developer Hamton has continued to transform the racecourse surroundings into a $2 billion masterplan.

With everything going on at Moonee Valley Park in <a href="/new-apartments/moonee-ponds-vic-3039">Moonee Ponds</a>, Apartments.com.au CEO Mike Bird sat down with Hamton Managing Director Matt Malseed to discuss the development.

Builder ICON recently kicked off construction of the latest stage of Moonee Valley Park, <a href="/new-apartments/trackside-house-moonee-ponds-moonee-valley-racecourse-moonee-ponds">Trackside House</a>, the first building in the precinct that overlooks the track back to the city. It will also have the only units that will overlook the finishing straight.

Malseed says one of the unique features of the masterplan is that all of the buildings are spread out.&nbsp;

"It isn't just one good side and one not so good side, there's incredible aspects all around our botanical park. The vision for the precinct is for a neighbourhood within a botanical park."

The City of Melbourne has unanimously given the green light to a revised development application by MAB Corporation for their new <a href="/developments/docklands-vic-3008">Docklands</a> precinct, NewQuay <a href="/developments/docklands-vic-3008">Docklands</a>.

Adjacent to the <a href="/developments/docklands-vic-3008">Docklands</a> Primary School, the signed off plans for the near one-hectare development site at 396-416 Docklands Drive, which&nbsp;currently serves as a commercial car park, include a&nbsp;mixed-use precinct with five-towers comprising commercial offices, a hotel and apartments, as well as abundant retail and hospitality at street level and a 700 sqm pocket park.

The planning application has undergone a number of amendments since its inception in 1999, with community engagement playing a crucial role in shaping the proposal.

Initially the project was approved for&nbsp;just over 11,000 sqm of commercial office space and no residential or hotel components, although the recent amendment reduced the office space by 3,150 sqm to make way for a 200-room hotel and 600 dwellings.

There will be 156 studios on offer, 232 one-bedroom apartments, 203 two-beds, and just nine three-bed apartments. The towers will rise from two 20-metre podiums which will feature the hotel and resident amenity such as swimming pools and barbecue spaces.

<img alt="MAB" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bac39fd2-ad1a-470b-805c-661102d28617" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-01-04%20at%2010.47.36%20am.png?VersionId=sn0K63jtj0PRV7M2ozwJj80k0.1iESMK" />

The City of Melbourne's planning team collaborated closely with MAB, resulting in positive design changes addressing previous concerns.&nbsp;

These changes include a 10-metre separation between towers, the removal of one tower, a reduction in maximum built-form height, revised building envelopes, a modified public park layout, and additional design principles.

Designed by ARM Architecture with Rush Wright Associates, the precinct incorporates retail and dining options within the podiums, office floor space, podium car parks, and a new 11 to 13-metre-wide pedestrian laneway connecting the school to the tram depot and New Quay Central Park.&nbsp;

<img alt="Docklands" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4817edb8-8c38-456f-9315-1ff8a27e469b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-01-04%20at%2010.41.41%20am.png?VersionId=7MJHIhVSIsusIlyGBlEN8QNW9xlqWjfF" />

The west podium comprises three residential towers, while the east contains two, carefully considering mirroring the existing streetscape context and character.

The development is expected to deliver between 500 and 600 residential dwellings and 20,000 sqm of commercial spaces, including the possibility of a hotel.

A key feature of the project is a 700 sqm public park at the corner of Little Docklands Drive and St Mangos Lane, positioned adjacent to Docklands Primary School.&nbsp;

<img alt="Newquay" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6d04f474-3859-43ee-bb94-b13bc62e06b4" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-01-04%20at%2010.41.58%20am.png?VersionId=py897uW3Bc65YTtEs37vx0L76Lg6w1.C" />

The pocket park, a later addition to the application, will feature seating areas, a children's play zone, a café, ramp and stair access, sandstone boulders, and bike ramp facilities.&nbsp;

The project will unfold in four stages, with the delivery of the new park scheduled for the initial phase.

The plans were endorsed by City of Melbourne councillors, with Deputy Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece praising the application and highlighting the positive impact of the pocket park on the community.&nbsp;

There will be 390 car spaces provided across the development, and 700 bicycle spaces.

The planning application has undergone a number of amendments since its inception in 1999, with community engagement playing a crucial role in shaping the proposal

MAB to bring 600 apartments to Docklands after City of Melbourne green light NewQuay Docklands

Melbourne's popular Flinders Street is set to get a rare new apartment development in the form of The Highlander, an architecturally striking tower just off the Yarra opposite the Sea Life Aquarium.

The Highlander, at <a href="/new-apartments/the-highlander-melbourne-490-flinders-street-melbourne">490 Flinders Street</a>, is being developed by Singaporean investment firm Havenport Investments, who added the adjoining site at 1-9 Highlander Lane to create enough space for the 23-level building which will home 35 apartments.

There will be a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments, some half and some full floor. The levels up to 14 will have a maximum of three apartments, while from 14 to 21 will have three-bedroom, full floor apartments.

Level 22 homes a near 300 sqm, $7.5 million penthouse with unobstructed views over the river and Southbank.

The two-bedroom apartments, which start from 82 sqm, start from just over $1 million. The three-bedrooms start from $1.3 million.

<img alt="Highlander" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="32885115-4925-444d-97a5-64ffd58419b8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-01-04%20at%209.40.08%20am_3.png?VersionId=fmk3_0RylAF2y5qsFABELwd7ztAawldI" />

The plans also include a ground floor with a residential lobby, a cafe, retail spaces, a basement level with a car stacker for ten vehicles, bicycle parking, and site services.

Designed by Metier 3, The Highlander features a dynamic facade&nbsp; through its chamfered and patterned windows.

The interiors feature wide solid oak floors, marble countertops and oak cabinetry throughout.

The heart of each Highlander apartments is the kitchen, complete with a butler's pantry and top-of-the-range AEG and Gaggenau appliances.

<img alt="The Highlander" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="06b785ec-8894-475b-8d25-96e42e4e34e6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-01-04%20at%209.40.16%20am.png?VersionId=cou4EHA2YTCSxhPxRr9D_WsBk40hrBHC" />

Andrew Norbury, founder of Metier3, said the philosophy of The Highlander deliberately avoids maximisation.

"Instead, we approached The Highlander as an artful expression of home design-less apartments, greater homes-drawing inspiration from a time when form and function were thoughtfully woven together with empathy and purpose."

The Highlander's location at the eastern end of Flinders Street, at the edge of the Hoddle Grid, allows for&nbsp;southern views of the Yarra River and an eastern perspective of Melbourne's Gardens. It's also just a stones throw from Southern Cross Station.

Castran Gilbert is marketing the project. They already have a number of reservations.
