<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sunland-group">Sunland Group</a> has officially lodged plans for its first Gold Coast apartment project since the departure of the Abedian family from the company three years ago, unveiling a new high-rise proposal for a prominent Broadbeach corner site on Old Burleigh Road.

The application was submitted by an entity directed by Tom Jamieson, stepson of longtime Sunland leader Soheil Abedian, and Riaz Rezvanipour, brother-in-law of Sahba Abedian, Soheil’s son.

Sunland acquired the 1,283 sqm site on the corner of Old Burleigh Road and Armrick Avenue for $9.5 million late last year and is now seeking approval for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/99-101-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">42-storey tower with 81 apartments</a>.

<img alt="First look: Sunland Group returns to Broadbeach with new Old Burleigh Road tower plans" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fea2946d-90ee-4cfc-babe-2a8ad5db2cb6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/pers.png?VersionId=BV0fihJw31nDIQ8ozY_h3GbS8mxDyhnm" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/contreras-earl-architecture">Contreras Earl Architecture</a>, the proposed tower at 99-101 Old Burleigh Road would deliver a predominantly larger-format apartment mix aimed at the owner-occupier market. Plans include 17 two-bedroom apartments, 55 three-bedroom apartments, and nine four-bedroom residences across 35 residential levels.

The development also incorporates three basement levels, four podium parking levels, two levels of communal recreation facilities, and rooftop plant and equipment. A total of 189 car spaces are proposed, significantly exceeding the 90 spaces required under the planning scheme.

The architecture adopts a sculpted, curvilinear form, with deep wraparound balconies and integrated landscaping intended to soften the tower’s vertical expression. The planning report states the building’s “slender footprint/form provides a complimentary yet varied built form within the local streetscape” and contributes to “a varied, yet ordered skyline.”

Contreras Earl noted in its Architectural Statement that from the early stages, the project addressed a fundamental challenge: how to accommodate the required residential yield while avoiding the conventional model of a tower sitting on a rigid, fully resolved parking podium.

“The most direct response would have been to consolidate parking into a singular, flat podium and extrude a repetitive tower above,” the statement said. “While efficient, this approach would result in a consolidated built form with limited engagement with the surrounding landscape and public realm.”

Instead, the conventional podium model was “deliberately rejected”. The architects described the base of the building as “a landscaped architectural condition where structure, planting and circulation are integrated”.

“Rather than presenting a continuous built mass, the base of the building is articulated through a series of concrete planter elements that organise the podium into a fragmented system,” the statement said. “This approach reduces the perceived bulk of the lower levels while establishing a more permeable interface with the streetscape and adjacent open space.”

<img alt="Sunland" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="923fad8d-c960-4527-8fbe-975cf1ddf88d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-25%20at%2010.32.03%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=pngwb0hYOIUpq9vDw6F2EsOiVuHF3DiX" />

&nbsp;

The site sits within the High Density Residential Zone and inside the City of Gold Coast’s unrestricted “HX” building height area, where the planning framework anticipates intensified residential development tied to the expanding light rail corridor. The planning report notes the area is undergoing “transition toward more intense development forms” given its proximity to Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise, and high-frequency public transport infrastructure.

Positioned directly opposite Broadbeach Park and within walking distance of Florida Gardens light rail station, the development would sit among a rapidly evolving stretch of Old Burleigh Road that has become one of the Gold Coast’s most active apartment development corridors.

The application joins a growing pipeline of luxury residential projects reshaping Broadbeach, including nearby developments by 5Point Projects, Polycell, and Graya.

The planning report argues the project contributes toward the Gold Coast’s long-term housing targets under the South East Queensland Regional Plan, which forecasts the need for more than 100,000 additional high-rise dwellings across the city by 2046.

The Minns Labor Government has established the new Bays West Delivery Authority to lead the development&nbsp;of the Bays West Precinct and Blackwattle Bay Precinct.&nbsp;

The Authority is charged with creating Sydney’s newest precinct, a thriving, connected, sustainable hub with White Bay Power Station as its cultural heart. Its vision is to build on the area’s natural, cultural and industrial history to shape a vibrant new neighbourhood.

The precinct will deliver up to 8,500 well-located homes, including a minimum of 10 per cent affordable and essential worker homes. Combine new housing with public open space, opening public access to the waterfront for the first time in more than 100 years, while retaining important deep-water facilities to support Sydney’s working harbour.

Located just minutes from the Sydney CBD and connected to a world-class metro, ferry, walking and cycling links, the Bays West precinct will rebalance housing growth towards well-serviced inner-city locations and help tackle the state’s housing crisis.

The Bays West Delivery Authority,&nbsp;an agency of the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure, will report to the NSW Minister for Lands and Property who already has oversight of major precinct renewal projects including at Blackwattle Bay and Barangaroo.

As part of the broader Bays West transformation, the Minns Government recently announced that a proposal from Lendlease to redevelop part of the Bays West Precinct has progressed to Stage 2 of the NSW Government’s unsolicited proposals process.

<img alt="Sydney" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2ed71eb9-d8e8-4fa7-b9d1-de4531dcf2f3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-25%20at%209.42.31%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=IDryFIbped9SNDg72LEN_EecvhUsOPvp" />

The Minns Labor Government has also confirmed the Bays West precinct will have a new suburb name. This will be the first major suburb built in close proximity to Sydney’s CBD in decades and will encompass the area currently being referred to as Bays West, including Glebe Island and the White Bay Power Station. Served by a new Metro station just five minutes from the CBD, it will become one of the most populous suburbs in the Inner West and one of Sydney’s premier cultural destinations.

An early works program is taking shape, which&nbsp;includes the first stages of an international design competition.&nbsp;

The aim of the Bays West&nbsp;International&nbsp;Design Competition is to&nbsp;ensure design excellence is embedded in the project from the start. The competition will deliver an&nbsp;urban framework that defines the character, ambition and long-term identity of&nbsp;this&nbsp;former industrial precinct as it transitions to a vibrant, inclusive and sustainable residential&nbsp;neighbourhood.

The competition will be led by the Bays West Delivery Authority in partnership with Government Architect NSW.&nbsp;

It will launch with an invitation for a global Expressions of Interest, before moving to an invitation-only stage that will be assessed by a panel that&nbsp;will provide advice to Cabinet who will select a winner.

Premier of NSW, Chris Minns said the establishment of the new Authority is the first step in transforming the Bays West precinct into a vibrant, livable suburb minutes from the Sydney CBD and two stops from Hunter St Station on the Metro West line.

“The Authority will deliver well-located homes close to the heart of the city and integrate the new precinct with Blackwattle Bay and the new Sydney Fish Market.

“This is a generational opportunity to build a new suburb on the city’s edge and open the harbour foreshore to the public for the first time in a century.”&nbsp;

Minister for Lands and Property Steve Kamper said the new Bays West Delivery Authority established by the Minns Government will turbocharge the development of Sydney’s newest suburb.

“The Authority is working at a record pace to deliver an international design competition, planning pathways and a financial model so that this development benefits Sydney with well-designed homes in a central location, close to public transport, jobs, entertainment and essential services.

“If we want Sydney to stay liveable and affordable, we need to be bold about using underutilised government-owned land to deliver homes for the future while making sure essential working harbour functions can be accommodated.”

Bays West Delivery Authority established to "turbocharge" Sydney’s newest suburb

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.

<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="a8a17d40-43b6-4718-b3fd-67676fcbb485" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/pers%202_1.png?VersionId=i3VwDtp5AmL_8InW7w4qRbDFEpb744Jt" />

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.

Melbourne off the plan apartments

Construction has begun on the latest residential development in the heart of Windsor.

Developed in a joint venture by Sinclair Brook and Wilbow Group, Windsor Park will comprise 32 apartments across three levels upon completion, with the architecture handled by Richmond-based firm Jackson Clements Burrows.

Burtons Estate Agents are in charge of selling the large three and four-bedroom apartments, with prices starting from $1.7 million and ranging through to $4.8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110261 project_image_fid=198563]

Eckersley Garden Architecture designed the landscaping to create a rare park-side island site fronting Chris Gahan Reserve, offering views to both the park and the city skyline.

Expansive courtyards and terraces are complemented with a Japanese inspired central courtyard garden providing residents with an escape from their busy lives into nature's embrace.&nbsp;

The architects at Jackson Clements Burrows designed the interiors of each apartment, creating an almost hotel-like experience in each.

Residents will enjoy luxury living within their own homes thanks to Swiss-made V-ZUG appliances featured in each kitchen, along with sculptural solid stone bench tops, chamfered stone edging and smooth timber veneer cabinetry.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110261 project_image_fid=198576]

Asymmetrical stone and timber vanities will feature in the bathrooms, while natural stone floors and feature mosaic wall tiles are included in the shower zones.

Residents will also be within walking distance to Chapel Street and Windsor Train Station, with the inner-city locale providing convenient access to a number of amenities, including restaurants, shops, cafes and transport links.&nbsp;

Construction is slated for completion by early 2024.&nbsp;

Construction commences on Windsor Park apartments

Louise Melbourne, the striking Samuel Property-developed, Cera Stribley-designed apartment project just off Albert Park, has hit a major milestone.

The 16-level development, which launched last year, is now 70 per cent sold, after a strong run of sales in the first half of 2023.

Blair Property Group's Darren Blair, who is exclusively marketing Louise, says the majority of apartments have been snapped up by downsizers.

"Every purchaser from level 10 and above is a downsizer," Blair says.

"They picked up all of the big apartments on the sought-after north west corner, which will offer the best views in the building."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112174 project_image_fid=199592]

Blair says there was a big run of sales to downsizers and owner-occupiers toward the back end of last year, and that's spilled into 2023.

"Buyers are starting to see some positives in the market in 2023", Blair notes.

"There's also a large cohort&nbsp;who are wanting to completely exit the rental market, as prices continue to trend upwards."

The diverse product mix in Louise, a mix 89 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, has seen a diverse number of buyers come through the door.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112174 project_image_fid=199599]

Blair has said investors are slowly starting to come out of the woodwork, primarily from overseas, as local investors wait to see the RBA's next move.

The development team, led by prominent developer Samuel Property, are also well advanced in their construction phase. They're hoping to start demolition of the block of 1950s flats on the 1224 sqm site in March, with the aim of commencing construction on Louise in May.

Well regarded builder Hamilton Marino will be in charge of construction.&nbsp;

"They're a well versed builder with a good name in the market, which will breed further confidence for buyers," Blair added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112174 project_image_fid=199597]

Prices start at just over $500,000 for the one-bedroom apartments in Louise Melbourne, and $719,500 for the two-bedrooms.

Aptly named Louise, the site is&nbsp;situated on the north-west corner of Louise Street and Queens Lane, and is a nod to the surrounding art deco architecture, blending 1920's design charm with the sensibilities of modern urban living.&nbsp;&nbsp;

There's extensive resident amenity in the building. A swimming pool, which is located beneath a distinctive skylight, forms the heart of a wellness centre, which also features a steam room and a landscaped outdoor terrace that wraps around the communal areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112174 project_image_fid=199646]

There's also&nbsp;a bookable private dining room, which comes with a fully-equipped kitchen, and a private lounge area, which has been designed as a&nbsp;space for more informal get-togethers.

Samuel Property,&nbsp;who since being founded in 2009 by its current Managing Director Illan Samuel, have predominantly concentrated on the high-end boutique owner-occupier market in some of Melbourne's most affluent suburbs.

Their last two projects have been Willow, just 14 apartments in Brighton, and most recently Edition in Toorak, on the dress circle Lansell Road, which has just three house-sized residences.

They have just received approval for 91 apartments across two five-level buildings on Phillip Island.

Louise Melbourne hits 70% sold

While construction costs still plague the industry across the country, a number of developers are still well on track to complete their residential projects.

We've looked across Melbourne and have picked the top three developments set to complete construction this year.

<h2><a href="/buildings/forme-57-stables-circuit-doncaster">FORME</a> 
Developer: <a href="/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a></h2>

ASX-listed developer Mirvac's latest residential project, FORME, the last stage in the&nbsp;group’s popular masterplanned Doncaster community, Tullamore, is on track to be completed this year.

Construction is expected to&nbsp;wrap up sometime in the middle of the year.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100322 project_image_fid=163024]

There are just two-bedroom apartments remaining in the development, which have been designed by Mirvac’s award-winning, in-house design team.&nbsp;

The expansive two-bedders include large kitchens and light-filled living and dining areas, which seamlessly connect to outdoor living spaces, in the form of terrace balconies, with lush garden planters designed by renowned landscape architect, Paul Bangay.&nbsp;

Following an open-plan design, the kitchens incorporate reconstituted stone benchtops, along with brushed platinum tapware, fluted glass cabinetry and Miele appliance.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100322 project_image_fid=163036]

Full height, double glazed windows and sliding doors aid in the transition from indoor to outdoor living within the homes, whilst also inviting an abundance on natural light in.&nbsp;

FORME will comprise 92 apartments upon completion, and will sit alongside the sold-out Phoenix and Folia.&nbsp;

<h2><a href="/buildings/due-north-preston-70-82-high-street-preston">Due North</a></h2>

Popular for a combination of its rooftop amenity and low entry point, Due North, the Preston development by Caydon, will complete construction in 2023.

The project on High Street, in the heart of the action, will have 107 apartments across 12 levels.

Prices start from $610,000 for the two-bedroom apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5502 project_image_fid=155330] 
&nbsp; 
Located just 20-minutes from the Melbourne CBD, Due North draws on the suburb’s rich history, with its vibrant culture and diversity.&nbsp;

A maximum of 12 apartments will be spread across each level, with a mix of one and two and three-bedroom residences, along with a dedicated communal rooftop space, a co-working area in the lobby and three retail spaces.&nbsp;

The rooftop is the focal point of the resident amenity, featuring space for a work-out, a dedicated yoga lawn and gym area with weights and aerobics equipment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5502 project_image_fid=155342]

The façade of the tower will display an industrial yet elegant aesthetic, with raw brickwork, exposed concrete, custom metalwork and glass, while internally, the apartments boast an array of stylish features, including timber floorboards, floor-to-ceiling windows, plush carpets in bedrooms, stone benchtops, integrated Baumatic appliances with optional Smeg upgrade and ample storage.

<h2><a href="/buildings/gramercy-terraces-38-bendigo-street-richmond">Gramercy Terraces</a> 
Developer: <a href="/developers/lendlease-development">Lendlease Development&nbsp;</a></h2>

Lendlease's Gramercy Terraces, which are being built on the Richmond site once home of the Nine Network studio, are expected to complete in late 2023.

A majority of the 31 three and four-level terraces were purchased before construction even began, with all four-bedders completely sold. Just a selection of three-bedroom configurations remain.&nbsp;

The terraces have been designed to bring in as much natural light as possible. Each terrace features a full void and a backyard, while some have&nbsp;rooftop terraces with city views.&nbsp;

The architecture drew inspiration from the iconic Federation-era red brick of Bendigo Street, paying homage to those who formerly resided there.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95458 project_image_fid=201243]

Each home will be filled with pieces by artisan brands, including Jean Francois D'or pendant lights, Astra Walker tapware and Signorino stone benchtops.&nbsp;

The terraces have been designed&nbsp;to achieve a 6.5-star average NatHERS rating, with precast concrete partition walls and suspended concrete slabs used for greater thermal comfort and acoustic performance.

Projects by Buxton has broken the Glen Iris record for an apartment, selling an amalgamation of two penthouses off-the-plan within LDS Property’s Galerie project.

The combined spread achieved close to $4 million, topping the $3.7 million record which was set&nbsp;in 2017 when a nearby penthouse sold.

Galerie has now secured over $10.7 million in sales since launching to the market late last year.

Projects by Buxton Director Heath Thompson said the record-breaking sale and strong interest in the project is evidence that the luxury apartment market is still thriving.

“The low stock levels in the market are making it really difficult for buyers to find their dream space or home that feels like theirs," Thompson said.

"Off the plan sales are thriving in this climate, with buyers loving being able to tailor a high-quality product to their lifestyle needs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112375 project_image_fid=204402]

“Whilst the amalgamation of two penthouses has created a unique standard of luxurious living in Glen Iris, the whole project is focused on fulfilling the buyer's needs and creating high-end apartments that feature a bespoke and expansive design."

Located on High Street, Galerie will offer a collection of 29 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, designed by Ewert Leaf and surrounded by verdant landscaping by John Patrick Landscape Architects.

The local buyer is downsizing and was attracted to the high-end design of Galerie. The buyer worked with the team, Projects by Buxton, LDS Property, and Ewert Leaf, to add a bespoke and special touch to the home, all of which are geared to their love for luxury finishes.

“When downsizing we didn’t want to move into a cookie-cutter apartment and have loved the process of adding bespoke features and luxury additions," the buyer said.&nbsp;

“The team has been great in working with us to redesign the whole internal space following the joining of two penthouses and have gone above and beyond to ensure the space feels like ours."

Two-bedroom residences start from $849,000, while the three-bedroom apartments are priced from $1,159,000.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112375 project_image_fid=204405]

Buyers will be privy to a world-renowned collection of private artworks, innovative architecture and lush outdoor spaces within Galerie, with the building also&nbsp;designed with a strong sense of artistry, forming a distinctly timeless aesthetic composed of brick, timber and concrete.

Residents are greeted by a gallery-style lobby featuring a bespoke Chaumet Chandelier and textured walls lined with a curated private collection of world-class artworks.

All open-planned living spaces are designed to flow seamlessly out to the courtyards and balconies, with large windows and sliding doors to provide a direct integration into the surrounding landscape.

A builder is set to be appointed in the coming weeks, with demolition works on the site recently completed.

Glen Iris apartment price record smashed with Galerie penthouse sale just shy of $4 million

Design-led developer and builder Lowe Living has launched Oceano, an exclusive collection of luxury apartments in the sought-after bayside suburb of Hampton.

It's the prominent developers second multi-residential project with interiors designed by Australian media personality Bec Judd.

Located on the leafy Ocean Street in Hampton – close to the gourmet and boutique luxuries of Hampton’s main precinct and the coastal charm of Hampton Beach – Oceano comprises nine contemporary residences, including two luxury penthouses.

Over 40 per cent of the apartments have already sold through Lowe Living's database, a total of $8.5 million in sales.

Both the penthouses were snapped up, as well as two lower level apartments. Only five apartments remain, and start from $1.63 million.

Lowe Living's Emma Lowe, owner and managing director of the company, says&nbsp;Lowe Living is passionate about delivering iconic and timeless spaces, and Oceano is another example of how they are offering uncompromising luxury, coastal charm and modern comfort in one of Melbourne’s most aspirational suburbs.

Lowe pointed to the expertise of Bec Judd and the ease of working collaboratively with Judd and the project team noting that a shared vision and passion led to the delivery of a conscious, contemporary development that has been well-received by the exclusive database release ahead of the official launch.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138593 project_image_fid=210190]

“We’ve experienced an outstanding response off-market and it’s a testament to Bec’s talent and the Lowe Living brand," Lowe says.

"To have sold 40 per cent of Oceano, including the two penthouses, before officially launching is something that we’re really proud of, and is reflective of the calibre of work and dedication the entire team has put into this project."

The collaboration marks the second time Lowe has had Judd handle the interiors, following the successful debut project Sera Brighton.

“It has been a pleasure to work with Bec once again to bring Oceano to life," Lowe added.

“Bec’s natural design ability and unique, considered style has resulted in interiors that are effortlessly sophisticated yet welcoming, perfectly achieving our design vision."

Architecturally designed by boutique practice ADDARC, the exteriors of Oceano will balance statement brickwork with bold graphite sunscreens and stucco rendering, creating a contemporary, refined, and timeless project in which each individual residence has been created and considered as an individual dwelling.

Landscape architect Florian Wild has been engaged to bring the landscaping to life, establishing an experiential, evocative sanctuary that will complement the striking built form and respond to the distinguished bayside locality.

Judd says she wanted to blend sophisticated form and coastal sensibility for the interiors of Oceano, complementing the impressive external façade and creating richly textured, inviting interiors that instantly felt like a home.

“The intention was for Oceano’s interiors to beautifully juxtapose the bold exterior with a soft aesthetic that feels luxurious, cosy and sophisticated. I wanted to establish a design narrative that felt unique to this address,” Judd said.

Judd chose a natural stone benchtop to present the heart of the home, the kitchen, complemented by timber flooring and beautifully contrasted against striking gunmetal fixtures for a bold edge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138593 project_image_fid=210189]

Handcrafted ceramic feature tiles frame a suite of high-end Miele appliances – a level of luxury surpassed only by the fully-integrated fridge cloaked in an unassuming French door, while the juxtaposition of V-groove 2PAC panelling against metal finishes creates a striking level of sophistication that invites elegant personalisation.

“The gravitas of the kitchen flows effortlessly through to a living space, creating a functional yet aesthetic interior environment that radiates with a refined vitality.

Luxury furnishings are accompanied by customisable joinery, blending beauty with practicality, and allowing residents to personalise Oceano into their true dream home.

“The project departs from a typical beachside aesthetic with earthy finishes and an industrial inspired façade, while the interiors are led by a warm, inviting interior palette that is responsive to the soft natural surrounds of the gardens and landscaping,” Judd said.

Freshly completed and ready to move in now, FOCUS is Southbank’s newest residential tower.

Rising 50 levels above a premium Southbank location on City Road, it’s the latest project from award-winning developer Central Equity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3260 project_image_fid=206126]

There are a range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments on offer in FOCUS, designed with space and family living in mind.

FOCUS Melbourne: Inside Southbank's newest residential address

High-end developer Fortis have submitted plans for a new project in Melbourne's St Kilda.

Fortis, who operate in Sydney and Melbourne's most sought-after areas,&nbsp;is seeking to create 39 apartments at 61-73 Fitzroy Street, a 2,661 sqm amalgamated site secured last year.

Fortis said they've long been interested in St Kilda, and in particularly Fitzroy Street.

"St Kilda has a colourful history, character &amp; charm and a unique position within Melbourne – immediate proximity to the CBD, parks and unrivalled amenity, yet distinctly coastal featuring one of Australia’s most well-known beaches," Fortis Director Charles Mellick, who co-founded the company in 2016 alongside Patrick Keenan and Dan Gallen, told Urban.

"Fitzroy Street is one of Melbourne’s most historic grand boulevards which has admittedly seen better days, but here lies the challenge and opportunity to breathe new life into the precinct."

<img alt="Fitzroy Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="963e4f3e-d07a-479e-9b77-74810ab1440c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-01-17%20at%2011.54.50%20am.png?VersionId=BHfcEhyzkobBQ.hM0QYJMqK9KJ0THT8W" />

Fortis have had Woods Bagot design the Fitzroy Street project, which will also reinvigorate Fitzroy Street and benefit the local community.

Fortis called it a "precinct defining opportunity."

The site has a 65 metre street frontage, and a&nbsp;strategic location, at the mid-point of Fitzroy Street.

"Our proposal will be a catalyst for rejuvenation,"&nbsp;the documents submitted to Port Phillip Council noted.

"This opportunity is to redefine the local area and play a key part in the Fitzroy Street’s return to former grandeur.

"The extensive frontage to Fitzroy Street offers immense opportunity for activation in what is currently a run-down retail strip."

<img alt="Fortis Fitzroy" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="80ba4998-4658-4262-9e53-7f143d1dcc2e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-01-17%20at%2011.55.25%20am.png?VersionId=zI3tE6UU.bCJeoq8lZ3l76HxxkJVGniA" />

There will be around 950 sqm of hand selected retailers, likely to be a providore, a bakery, or a signature food and beverage venture.

"[The retailers will cater] to the daily needs of surrounding residents, provide passive day and night activation and give everyone a compelling reason to visit Fitzroy Street."

The 39 apartments will be located above and behind the retail, focusing on "quality not quantity."

"Lucky future residents will enjoy refined common amenity on the ground floor, the retail experience, beachside living and everything St Kilda has to offer on their doorstep," the documents stated.

There will be just three one-bed apartments, 19 two-bedders, and 10 three-bedroom units.

<img alt="Fitzroy Street Fortis" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5a00b731-ad77-438d-ab96-315f761df527" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-01-17%20at%2011.54.58%20am.png?VersionId=bb.l8xq770FlLQQv3ppe3Ac9B14RKvQT" />

Two three-bedroom duplex penthouses will be on offer, as well as five three-bedroom penthouses.

The plans have 100 parking spaces, and 39 bike spaces.

Fortis say the existing architecture in St Kilda influenced the design of the project.

<img alt="Fitzroy Street Fortis" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4ed034bd-450a-4d15-bf4c-ed629cabf5a5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-01-17%20at%2011.55.07%20am.png?VersionId=wyOTZj8XzOZNHqDUGuNSl1QL1dwITGbx" />

"Victorian Grandeur is a prevalent motif and its contribution to the character and charm of St Kilda is apparent through the use of refined fretwork and double columns," the design statement noted, citing&nbsp;St Kilda's Linden Gallery as an influence.

"This former grandeur has become a recognisable feature of current day St Kilda. Our proposal seeks to rejuvenate this charm through its façade articulation, balustrades and generous planter boxes. The intention is to add a further layer of contemporary charm and character to St Kilda."

Cobild Construction have already been appointed as the lead construction partner on the project, having already been appointed to 10 of Fortis' projects since teaming up together in 2018. Local landscape designer Florian Wild are in charge of the landscaping.

Fortis have had Woods Bagot design the Fitzroy Street project, which will also reinvigorate Fitzroy Street and benefit the local community

"In collaboration with Bayley Ward, this high exposure site on St Kilda road provides highly efficient dwellings, coupled with 100% renewable energy supply, in a fossil-fuel free development.

"On-site solar photovoltaic electricity generation complements this efficiency and zero-carbon energy commitment.

"The design responses detailed in this SMP effectively integrate sustainability for this project, and will deliver occupant-focussed spaces, reductions in carbon emissions associated with electricity and transportation, improve resource efficiency, minimising impact and enhancing natural systems consistent with climate resilient principles."

Tract have handled the landscaping of the project, noting their landscape design will aim to provide a green overlay to the built form with an abundance of planting including vines, ferns and trees that are suited to the micro-climate of the various external spaces.

"The planting will cool the innercity urban environment and provide a lush and welcoming environment. The landscape will provide numerous high quality communal spaces that are designed to encourage social connection between the residents of the development."

The project is expected to launch to the market later this year.
