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 off the plan apartments

Just two apartments remain in Beulah's completed <a href="/developments/camberwell-vic-3124">Camberwell apartment development</a>, <a href="/buildings/890-toorak-road-camberwell">Provenance</a>.

The Elenberg Fraser-designed <a href="/buildings/890-toorak-road-camberwell">Provenance</a> comprises ten house-sized residences and two luxury penthouses set over three levels and surrounded by Openwork's landscaping.

The three-storey building will include elements from Elenberg Fraser’s groundbreaking new format for residential living, The New Standard.&nbsp;

"Provenance is a project that will shift your expectations and understanding of what it is to live in a multi-residential building, now and into the future," Callum Fraser said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9099 project_image_fid=217666]

Revolutionising apartment living, Elenberg Fraser’s The New Standard is dedicated to standardising and continuously improving a high-quality, ultra-sustainable design for multi-residential living—starting with a building's entry configuration.

Already considerable in size, each <a href="/buildings/890-toorak-road-camberwell">Provenance</a> residence will feature this new wave of technology, bringing the privacy and security of a single-dwelling home into the multi-residential realm.&nbsp;

Beginning with the entrance, a direct lift seamlessly transports residents to their homes, directly opening into a private micro lobby, removing the need to navigate a public lobby or corridor.

The Micro Lobby is a transitional space with a lockable door to the apartments. For the security-conscious or the frequent traveller, it offers a safe delivery space, a storage area and a coat or shoe cupboard.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9099 project_image_fid=217661]

In the event of a complete failure of the security system or electrical failure, the deadlocks on the door are activated and will keep the apartment safe and secure.

Grand in scale, residents will be welcomed to their apartments by an open living and dining space.&nbsp;

The heart of the home, a house-sized kitchen, is centred by a sculptural island bench and furnished with a suite of Gaggenau appliances and ample storage.

The bedrooms have an ensuite and walk-in-robe giving every member of the family the space they deserve.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9099 project_image_fid=217669]

Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors open up, allowing indoor entertainment spaces to flow seamlessly into the spacious north-facing terraces and private balconies overlooking vistas of the surrounding landscaped gardens and the Toorak Road streetscape.

Less than 15 minutes walking distance from <a href="/buildings/890-toorak-road-camberwell">Provenance</a> is the Tooronga Shopping Centre and Anderson Park, while the CBD is only a 15-minute car ride.&nbsp;

Final two apartments at Beulah's completed Provenance Camberwell apartment development

Design-driven developer <a href="/developers/neometro">Neometro</a> has revealed its latest project.

Their luxury <a href="/developments/south-yarra-vic-3141">South Yarra apartment development</a>, <a href="/new-apartments/49-walsh-street-south-yarra-49-walsh-street-south-yarra">49 Walsh Street</a>, has just 10 two, three and four-bedroom apartments within the heart of Melbourne’s iconic Domain Precinct bordering the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Tan, the Yarra River and the CBD.

This historically significant part of the city boasts some of Melbourne's most iconic architecture. MORQ, the design firm behind <a href="/new-apartments/49-walsh-street-south-yarra-49-walsh-street-south-yarra">49 Walsh Street</a>, aimed to harmonise the development with its historic surroundings with a design that is grounded in timeless architectural principles.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141589 project_image_fid=229317]

“We strive to design buildings that stand outside of time, untethered to any singular era, style or place," MORQ Director Andrea Quagliola said.

"Buildings that get this right can’t be reduced to a movement, fashion or label. There’s a sense of restrained monumentality in their simplicity that feels eternal."

The development, marking Neometro’s most high-end work to date, draws inspiration from natural light, geometry, and materiality.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141589 project_image_fid=229320]

The ground-floor apartments provide a sense of seclusion and a strong connection to nature, featuring private courtyards with abundant greenery, two bedrooms and private entrances.

On levels one and two, enveloped by a canopy of trees and bathed in dappled light, the apartments include spacious main bedrooms, butler's kitchens and dedicated entry halls.

All apartments have generous living areas, well-appointed kitchens, laundry areas, and outdoor cooking and dining spaces.

MORQ's work is distinguished by a deep connection to Rome's historical heritage and an appreciation for its enduring European architectural design adapted to a modern Australian context.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141589 project_image_fid=229323]

Residents at <a href="/new-apartments/49-walsh-street-south-yarra-49-walsh-street-south-yarra">49 Walsh Street</a> will enjoy a well-rounded and convenient lifestyle, surrounded by natural beauty like the Royal Botanic Gardens, Yarra River, Fawkner Park, and Albert Park Lake. Urban amenities, such as the restaurants and cafes that line Toorak Rd, <a href="/developments/south-yarra-vic-3141">South Yarra</a> Station, and The Como Centre Shopping Mall, are within a 20-minute walk from the property.

This project marks MORQ's first multi-residential project in Melbourne. The majority of their portfolio comprises luxury houses in Italy, earning them numerous awards and international recognition.&nbsp;

Their Floeat, Perth house, Cloister House, received the Marshall Clifton Award for Residential Architecture at the WA Institute of Architecture Awards in 2019. Additionally, a house they designed in Noosa secured the Building of the Year award at the 2015 Sunshine Coast Regional Architecture Awards by the Australian Institute of Architects.

<a href="/developers/neometro">Neometro</a> have been at the forefront of forward-thinking development since 1985 when they were founded by Jeff Provan and Barry Ludlow, who from the outset had a focus on providing striking new apartment developments across Melbourne.

Apartments at <a href="/new-apartments/49-walsh-street-south-yarra-49-walsh-street-south-yarra">49 Walsh Street</a> start at $3.975 million, with an estimated completion date set for July 2025.

Boutique Melbourne residential developer Gestalt is introducing a collection of modern three-level townhouses in <a href="/developments/kew-vic-3101">Kew</a>.&nbsp;

<a href="/new-apartments/clyde-street-kew-733-high-street-kew">Clyde Street</a> presents three apartments and 11 house-sized townhouses with various floor plans designed to cater to the different life stages of its future residents.

Each townhouse comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living spaces, a car garage, and a storage room – as well as all the shopping, dining, education and transport advantages of this coveted location at its door.

<a href="/new-apartments/clyde-street-kew-733-high-street-kew">Clyde Street</a> is conveniently located within walking distance of a tram stop at the corner of High Street, providing easy access to <a href="/developments/kew-vic-3101">Kew</a> Junction, Richmond, and the CBD, just fifteen minutes away.

Whether walking, driving or commuting by tram, Clyde Street is ideally placed to access the best of East Kew, its neighbouring suburbs and connections to the inner city.

Residents will also have easy connectivity by car with the Eastern Freeway close by and by bike along the Main Yarra Trail.

Heritage architecture and neighbourhood cafés, bars and restaurants dot the landscape. The closest options include Gilbert's, Kuche and The Bean Thief Cafe.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212840]

Harp Village is only a four-minute walk for shopping and groceries, while the nearest Coles in Balwyn North is only a three-minute drive from Clyde Street.&nbsp;

Within a one-kilometre radius of the property, residents can find outdoor spaces for picnics, hiking, and sports. Stradbroke Park, including a playground and off-leash area, is a 15-minute walk east of Clyde Street, while the Anniversary Trail and Victoria Park are just 10 minutes from the site.

Further north across the Eastern Freeway is the Yarra River, the <a href="/developments/kew-vic-3101">Kew</a> East Tennis Club, Hays Paddock and <a href="/developments/kew-vic-3101">Kew</a> Golf Club.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212849]

Given Kew's reputation for hosting some of the country's top schools, this project will likely attract family buyers. St Anne's School, Kew East Primary School and Kew High School are less than 500 metres from Clyde Street.

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.

"It ticks all the boxes. The convenience of dual living, a study, and multiple living areas. Clyde Street offers it all."

The development is scheduled for completion in January 2025.

George Rose’s work is known for exploring the fragility of nature, featuring endangered flora and fauna, and the transformation of the micro into macro-scale, with the BMW rooftop evident of her signature gradients.

The artwork aspires to promote art, well-being and sustainability, while advancing culture in and around the City of Melbourne.

The concept for the mural focused on rejuvenating the current site’s urbanscape and is complementary to the eye-catching Atong Atem mural that adorns the exterior of Hanover House, with both sites celebrating local female artists.

Beulah Director Adelene Teh said the Beulah Foundation is thrilled to partner with George Rose, and looks forward to seeing the positive impact the artwork will have on the surrounding community.

“Melbourne is known as the cultural capital of Australia, famous for its rich and vibrant arts and culture scene; both of these murals will help activate Melbourne as a vibrant 24/7 city, while celebrating local female artists as well,” Teh said.

Both Hanover House and the former BMW site will be the future home to the <a href="/new-apartments/sth-bnk-by-beulah-southbank-60-southbank-boulevard-southbank">STH BNK By Beulah</a>, a vertically integrated city within a city that will offer world-class retail, a comprehensive wellness precinct, a residential offering, a childcare centre, extensive green spaces including rooftop gardens and pocket parks dotted throughout, as well as an innovative cultural centre in partnership with Centre Pompidou, which has the largest collection of modern and contemporary art in Europe.
