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.”

<img alt="$1b Benowa Gardens Urban Village moves to Full Council following Planning Committee support" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="50dfbd04-590e-4fc6-983b-766880947867" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Dining%20Day%20Time%20-%20High%20Resolution.jpg?VersionId=BP7ZoKJ0DdL_8iRkkC8VVx99moICV6kg" />

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.

STH BNK by Beulah: The most facilities in any Melbourne apartment development?

Markit Projects has launched its latest luxury apartment development 24 Burrows, located within the sought-after Church St precinct in Brighton.

Set in a leafy quintessential Brighton tree-lined street, directly opposite Burrows Park, 24 Burrows comprises just six apartments spread across three levels, including a penthouse, meticulously designed by Sketch Design and Empire Interiors.

Tailored with the discerning downsizer in mind, each residence offers generous proportions and expansive floor plans.

The kitchen, dining, and living areas seamlessly connect to generously sized terraces, enabling residents to open up the entire space during warmer months—complete with integrated BBQ facilities.

Large windows invite abundant natural light into the living spaces, illuminating parquet flooring, natural timber finishes, custom joinery, and gas-heated fireplaces.

Herringbone French oak floors grace the living and dining zones, while external terrace areas feature limestone pavers.

The open kitchen, appointed with luxurious Gaggenau appliances and sleek stone benchtops, is a spacious and practical space for any cook.

Highett Common by Sunkin Property Group is set to rise from <a href="/new-apartments/highett-vic-3190">one of the best spots in Bayside</a>, connected to both extensive public transport, amenity, and the beach.

We recently visited the <a href="/new-apartments/highett-common-37-graham-road-highett-vic-3190">Highett Common</a> display suite at <a href="/new-apartments/highett-common-37-graham-road-highett-vic-3190">37 Graham Road</a> to look at the project in more detail.

In a city like Melbourne, where public transport is so good, buying a home in an up-and-coming fringe suburb is always an astute choice. Highett is a prime example – you're close to the beach, there's a thriving hub of bars and eateries, and you can hop on the train and be in the city in under 40 minutes.

Architecturally designed by famed Melbourne-based design practice ClarkeHopkinsClarke, <a href="/new-apartments/highett-common-37-graham-road-highett-vic-3190">Highett Common's thoughtful masterplan</a> offers provisions for sustainable living, verdant green spaces and apartments crafted using the finest quality materials.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=212654]

Whether you're after a one, two or three-bedroom apartment, <a href="/new-apartments/highett-common-37-graham-road-highett-vic-3190">Highett Common</a> has a range of intuitive floorplans to choose from. What I love is that all apartments have been thoughtfully oriented with floor-to-ceiling glazing to make the most of the parkland views – it's the kind of attention to detail that comes with great design.

The 9.3-hectare masterplan includes a Conservation Reserve, a one-hectare public park and playground and a new community library – with walkways taking you through leafy, tree-lined corridors and boulevards. In fact, over 40 per cent of the site is dedicated to green open space.

At <a href="/new-apartments/highett-common-37-graham-road-highett-vic-3190">Highett Common</a>, you'll also have access to multiple state-of-the-art gymnasiums with wellness areas and two luxurious swimming pools, one outdoor and one indoor – as well as residents' dining room and lounge perfect for hosting gatherings with friends and family.

You'll also have access to a platform that enables you to connect with your neighbours via a smart community app, enabling you to book amenities, receive project updates and alerts, join social clubs, sign up for fitness and wellness activities and access local business services.

As the first medium-density masterplanned, Net Zero Carbon community in Victoria, the all-electric development boasts solar panels for energy generation into the development, smart car charging capability, recycled rainwater for irrigation, sustainably sourced timber and steel and many more energy efficiency features.

Boutique property developer Gestalt brings Clyde Street, a modern addition to a quintessential East Kew location.

Clyde Street introduces a collection of 11 large-scale, three-level townhouses, and three one and two-bedroom apartments positioned above commercial space on the corner of Clyde Street and High Street.

MA Architects have meticulously designed each residence, providing them with individual entrances, a brickwork façade, robust materials, and abundant green landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212839]

The landscape architecture has been integral to the design of the project, Gestalt says, which is why MAA collaborated closely with Simon Taylor Landscape Design.

“For the gardens of each townhouse, we only had to look around for inspiration," Taylor said.

"The parks and gardens of East Kew are lush, beautiful and well-maintained, qualities we intend to continue at Clyde St."

The building is robust with strong clean lines, with the gardens softening these forms against the street. All the townhouses have two private open spaces: one on the ground and one at a higher level, one on the east and one on the west. A series of spaces that follow the sun from dawn to dusk.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212847]

Each townhouse comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living spaces—one adaptable as an additional bedroom, office, or play area—two car parks and a storage room.

There are two types of townhouse on offer, with the living space differing in each home, MA Architects Associate Rachel McNally says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212850]

"One has a living space on the ground floor with a connection to the street that’s a little bit more closed off and a focus on opening up into their courtyard. And then the other townhouse has living spaces on the first floor with a great aspect over the mature trees along Clyde Street," McNally says.

&nbsp;

The kitchens are open and practical, featuring concealed storage, integrated Smeg and VZUG appliances, brushed nickel designer tapware, and natural stone benchtops with a mosaic stone splashback.

Bedrooms come with expansive wardrobes, large windows, and soft carpeting underfoot.&nbsp;

Bathrooms have been thoughtfully planned to maximise space and storage, offering a back-to-wall bath with a frameless shower screen, under-mount sink, natural stone benchtops, and concealed cistern toilets.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212841]

All apartments are finished with oak timber floors, mosaic marble and porcelain tiles, linear fluted glass, and timber laminates.&nbsp;

The property also includes secure car and bike parking, solar-boosted gas hot water, inverter-type heating, ventilation, cooling systems and water harvesting.

&nbsp;

Jellis Craig Projects director Stephen Bowtell says the townhomes offer everything a buyer could want, with a flexible floor plan for both families and downsizers to use as they wish.

Clyde Street is conveniently located within walking distance to a tram stop on the corner of High Street, providing easy access to Kew Junction, Richmond, the CBD, and the green expanses of Hays Paddock in the other direction.

The development is slated for completion in January 2025.

The landscape architecture has been integral to the design of the project, Gestalt says, which is why MAA collaborated closely with Simon Taylor Landscape Design

How the parks of East Kew inspired the gardens of Clyde Street townhomes

After obtaining approval from the City of Melbourne Council to convert the historic East Melbourne home, Eblana, into a $35 million luxury residential apartment development, PB &amp; Co. has finally unveiled their ultra-high-end project comprising four full-floor residences.

The permit signifies the successful conclusion of a complex negotiation process. PB &amp; Co. collaborated closely with the City of Melbourne Council to achieve an outcome that satisfies all stakeholders, including the local community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108801 project_image_fid=236543]

The three full-floor apartments and two-level penthouse will feature three and four bedrooms, multiple living zones, winter gardens, and study retreats. They will also include a self-parking, fully automated car system, with the option to vertically combine floor plans for luxurious duplex-style living. These boutique residences are exclusively offered by invitation only.

Designed by Inhaus Design, the development pays homage to the Italianate-style terrace, the former Young &amp; Jackson publican Thomas Jackson's residence. The restoration aims to return the structure to its original form and transform it into a luxury residential offering tailored to Melbourne’s elite.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108801 project_image_fid=236537]

The ground floor residence will be accommodated within the existing structure, where period features such as grand double-height spaces and original tiling will be revitalised. The new residences above will mirror the same sense of grandeur and space.

In response to the original scale of the structures below, the two modern architectural expressions above will adhere to the proportions of the heritage façade, accentuated by arched windows—a reoccurring, dominant form in the heritage home.

Each apartment is adorned with meticulously curated finishes that reflect a commitment to integrate modern comfort with heritage charm. Spacious interiors bathed in natural light provide a welcoming ambience, while state-of-the-art amenities ensure convenience and relaxation.&nbsp;

Residents will also have access to a rooftop oasis overlooking stunning city views, stay active in the fitness centre, and entertain guests in the beautifully designed communal spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108801 project_image_fid=236544]

Construction of Eblana has already commenced and is expected to be completed in mid-2025.

PB &amp; Co. now have over $350 million across Melbourne and Sydney’s prestigious wealth belts, having recently spent $60 million on a site in Sydney's Kurraba Point. That could see between eight and 12 luxury residences built on the 4,200 sqm block.

One of their latest Melbourne projects, Fifty Two Black, in Brighton, is kitted out in Restoration Hardware.

MONNO Projects has been given the greenlight to develop a second residential development in the <a href="/new-apartments/geelong-vic-3220">Geelong area</a>.

Fresh off appointing a builder for their luxury Rippleside development Stella Maris, MONNO, led by former Costa Fox executives Geno Hubar and Robert Costa, has been given sign off for their central <a href="/new-apartments/geelong-vic-3220">Geelong apartment</a> project <a href="/new-apartments/moorabool-61-71-moorabool-street-geelong">Moorabool at 61-71 Moorabool Street</a>, near Westfield <a href="/new-apartments/geelong-vic-3220">Geelong</a>.

The 12-level development designed by JCB Architects will comprise 58 apartments above first floor commercial office space and ground floor hospitality and retail.

MONNO says the architecture of <a href="/new-apartments/moorabool-61-71-moorabool-street-geelong">Moorabool</a> pays homage to the city’s industrial woolshed heritage through its considered red and charcoal brick facade.

"At the same time, the design looks to an evolving laneway culture by incorporating active street frontages, covered arcades and public spaces."

<img alt="Geelong" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ba326e1e-6f1d-47fb-9885-ff61b77fa55d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-27%20at%201.56.00%20pm.png?VersionId=8Md6oeEcELUapPFKEe4HQKHg4ivB_Cad" />

Residents will have access to a swimming pool and fitness centre, as well as a private rooftop for residents with views across Corio Bay.

Each apartment has been designed with floor-to-ceiling windows to take in views across the city.

<img alt="Monno" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8312c2c6-1ad4-49d9-a822-ce37c748290c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20%285%29.jpg?VersionId=S9uLAYQ0qOEkBe0SoGvGLp9HvCs.wbv5" />

Monno recently announced Ireland Brown Constructions as the builder for their Corio Bay waterfront development Stella Maris.

Stella Maris, on the fringe of Geelong on a prized 1.25-hectare waterfront site which hadn't traded hands in over a century, will home 54 apartments, townhouses and duplexes across four buildings

Monno's recent approval brings further needed supply to the growing suburb. Population in Central Geelong is expected to reach over 14,000 by 2041, up 82 per cent from where it is currently.

DM Property recently launched their Rothelowman low-rise development <a href="/new-apartments/geelong-vic-3220">Motif</a>, which has already sold 35 per cent of its 129 units to first home buyers and downsizer, as well as some interstate investors.

The most recent launch in <a href="/new-apartments/geelong-vic-3220">Geelong</a> was Cunningham Place by Amber Property, just 60 apartments above a 168-room hotel.

Melbourne developer <a href="/developers/prime-edition">Prime Edition</a> has launched its latest residential development <a href="/new-apartments/como-toorak-2-bruce-street-toorak">Como Toorak</a>, a collaborative effort between <a href="/developers/prime-edition">Prime Edition</a> and architectural practice <a href="/architects/jolson">Jolson</a>.

The Melbourne-based developer secured the high-profile 2500 sqm site at <a href="/new-apartments/como-toorak-2-bruce-street-toorak">2 Bruce St</a>, an amalgamation of multiple blocks, from AFR Rich Lister Larry Kestleman for a record $26 million in 2022.

This $120 million project will comprise only 17 apartments, including penthouses, immersed in garden foliage and terrace planters designed by Paul Bangay.

<img alt="Prime" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7f0bdd0d-2758-447f-81c2-975a364d0f6d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-27%20at%201.10.06%20pm.png?VersionId=FPrK.wxNONROihCFtdtzW6eFjGcRxri0" />

The building's facade features vertical landscaping that softens the architecture and seamlessly blends it with the surroundings. At ground level, meticulously manicured shrubs and a mature tree with blossoming branches will add colour against the neutral tones of the structure.

Beneath the greenery, the building's crafted facade stands out with considered articulation, depth, and textures. Jolson prioritised architectural strength and an authentic character, incorporating premium materials such as handcrafted Spanish bricks, textured render, and column pieces integrated with deep, recessive balconies and garden beds.

“The building’s detail meanders between chiselled forms and curved edges from the exterior to the interior, creating a holistic design language and a distinct design identity,” <a href="/architects/jolson">Jolson</a> Director Mat Wright said.

<img alt="COMO Toorak" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="15aad99e-820c-4fc2-a3a1-cb2265de4d3d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-27%20at%201.09.53%20pm.png?VersionId=2sLdjoEXBotrlDRFciJ3cowO6lbo6Btk" />

Como's entrance features large, artisanally made steel gates leading to an arrival lobby where a daytime concierge provides a hotel-like experience for residents and visitors.

Drawing on Jolson's architectural expertise in large-scale private homes, each of the 17 residences has been meticulously considered in every detail, incorporating a palette of natural materials, built-in joinery, custom-designed elements, and a rare generosity of space.

The interplay between gently sculpted contours and the precision of chiselled lines on the facade extends into Como's expansive corridors and living areas.

Expansive glazing maximises views, sunlight, and connections with nature, emphasising a sense of openness. Luxurious and long-wearing surfaces characterise each space, from oak floorboards to polished plastered walls, plush carpeting, natural stone, and textured porcelain tiles.

“The interiors emphasise using texture and form to create an enduring design response. We wanted each space to feel generous and crafted, considered and well planned. Everything should feel calm and imbued with a sense of identity,” <a href="/architects/jolson">Jolson</a> Associate Jaclyn Lee said.

<img alt="Como" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7265594e-fe84-471c-958b-77b866cc903a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-27%20at%201.10.24%20pm.png?VersionId=50yD8mpy2C5X7cNMHuQkGgEyV4291.mS" />

The penthouses, combining the aesthetic principles of the lower residences with the benefits of an elevated position, are wrapped in glass like a pavilion within a private garden terrace overlooking spectacular views across the grass courts of South Yarra Tennis Club and the city skyline.

Each penthouse is appointed with a large-scale kitchen surrounded by glazing for ample sunlight at the heart of the home. The kitchen features a concealed walk-in scullery and multiple dining and bar areas, complemented by stone benchtops and premium appliances.

Outside, the courtyard design aims to provide privacy and maximise natural light, with carefully selected greenery to emphasise texture, movement and softer elements—framed by carefully arranged paving and steppers.

Paul Bangay's landscape design captures the classic elegance of the area's ordered gardens and the vibrant character of <a href="/new-apartments/toorak-vic-3142">Toorak</a> today. The curved facades of Como are mirrored in rounded garden walls and paved areas, with textural foliage softening every space.

Prime Edition's $270 million pipeline of high-end residential projects, set to launch before the end of 2024, includes three other projects, another in <a href="/new-apartments/toorak-vic-3142">Toorak</a>, one in <a href="/new-apartments/south-yarra-vic-3141">South Yarra</a>, and another in <a href="/new-apartments/clifton-hill-vic-3068">Clifton Hill</a>.

Como is slated for completion in 2025.

It was 2020 when longtime Melbourne developer Buxton Projects secured a prime site on <a href="/new-apartments/malvern-vic-3144">Malvern</a> Road for their luxury <a href="/new-apartments/toorak-vic-3142">Toorak apartment development</a>, ADA Toorak.

The site was appealing because of not only its <a href="/new-apartments/toorak-vic-3142">Toorak postcode</a>, one of the most affluent suburbs in Australia, but also its proximity to the neighbouring <a href="/new-apartments/malvern-vic-3144">Malvern</a> and the draw of the Glenferrie Road.

<a href="/buildings/ada-toorak-1093-1099-malvern-road-toorak">ADA Toorak</a>, just 22 apartments designed by architect Paul Conrad, whose work is almost exclusively luxury mansions across the world, is a stone's throw from the popular shopping strip, as well as all the transport options it offers. It's also just over 100 metres to the Malvern Hotel, the 1850's pub which is the oldest in the district.

The Route 72 tram, Route 604 bus service, and nearby <a href="/new-apartments/toorak-vic-3142">Toorak</a>, Gardiner, and Kooyong railway stations connect residents to the neighbouring suburbs and the CBD, just five kilometres away.

Along the stretch of <a href="/new-apartments/malvern-vic-3144">Malvern</a> Road, residents will find numerous boutiques, restaurants, and entertainment options. A short stroll to the corner leads to Glenferrie Road shopping precinct and the bustling High Street, where residents will discover more high-end boutiques, restaurants, entertainment, lifestyle, healthcare, and fitness options.

Otter's Promise, Willow Urban Retreat Cafe, Iroli Japanese, Etto Pasta Bar, Yo-Chi and Blitz Bar are some of the bars, cafes, desserts and dining hot spots along Glenferrie Rd/High St.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=92806 project_image_fid=175567]

Heading west with a quick tram ride up <a href="/new-apartments/toorak-vic-3142">Toorak</a> Road to the very popular Chapel Street, the shopping options continue. Complemented by the Hawksburn Village shopping precinct, <a href="/new-apartments/toorak-vic-3142">Toorak</a> Road features many upscale specialty stores, gift and homeware shops, and fashion boutiques.&nbsp;

Parks and playgrounds, such as the Toorak Park, the Charles Robinette Fountain, and Union Street Gardens, are a stone's throw away from the apartments, serving as an extension of their private courtyards and terraces.

An excellent location for established individuals and growing families, Toorak also offers exceptional schools and childcare facilities.

For parents aspiring to provide their children with the best education, Toorak boasts renowned institutions such as St Kevin's College, Scotch College, and St Catherine's School. Residents will also find Lauriston Girls' School, De La Salle College, and the University of Melbourne within a two-kilometre radius of the property.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=92806 project_image_fid=175568]

&nbsp;

Currently under construction, <a href="/buildings/ada-toorak-1093-1099-malvern-road-toorak">ADA Toorak</a> is expected to complete in mid-2024. Each apartment features&nbsp;grand living areas with vast floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors that frame the Jack Merlo landscaping.

Buxton Projects Director Josh Buxton says <a href="/buildings/ada-toorak-1093-1099-malvern-road-toorak">ADA</a> brings something different to <a href="/new-apartments/toorak-vic-3142">Toorak</a>, offering a more affordable solution to the bluechip suburb without compromising on quality.

"We wanted to provide the quality Toorak locals have come to expect from high-end homes but in an apartment. We really pushed on the landscaping too so downsizers are still surrounded in greenery without the maintenance of a large yard."

<a href="/buildings/focus-melbourne-81-city-road-southbank">FOCUS Melbourne</a>, the recently completed <a href="/new-apartments/southbank-vic-3006">Southbank apartment development</a> from longtime <a href="/developments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a> apartment developer <a href="/developers/central-equity">Central Equity</a>, has won the&nbsp;prestigious Victoria Apartment Complex Award (over $20 million) at the&nbsp;2023 HIA-CSR Victorian Housing Awards.

It's another feather in the bow of <a href="/developers/central-equity">Central Equity</a>, who is the HIA's most awarded apartment developer in Victoria.

The 50-level <a href="/buildings/focus-melbourne-81-city-road-southbank">FOCUS Melbourne</a> diverges from its contemporaries, as demonstrated by its bright, spacious interiors and luxurious resident facilities and services.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3260 project_image_fid=214221]

The HIA Australian Apartment Complex award celebrates excellence in several areas, including quality of workmanship, design features and effectiveness, innovation, and visual and market appeal.

The Doig Architecture-designed silhouette of a complex 'butterfly' form extruded and sculpted at the upper levels, complemented by a fully restored heritage-graded former warehouse adjoining the tower, adds to FOCUS Melbourne's uniqueness.

At street level, <a href="/developers/central-equity">Central Equity</a> took great care to restore an existing three level historic building. The historic portion was incorporated as part of the project to create an architectural feature and provide an active and vibrant streetscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3260 project_image_fid=218718]

<a href="/developers/central-equity">Central Equity</a> has been credited as the pioneer of inner city living in <a href="/developments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a>, developing residential properties in the Southbank and the CBD. The 2023 HIA award is testament to Central Equity’s 37-year history of ‘delivering as promised’.

“<a href="/buildings/focus-melbourne-81-city-road-southbank">FOCUS Melbourne</a> has been an outstanding success with residents full of praise for their new homes, the outstanding resident facilities and onsite building management services” says Central Equity Managing Director, Dennis Wilson.
