New apartment supply has become increasingly constrained across <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/parramatta-nsw-2150">Parramatta</a> in recent years, with fewer projects progressing through to completion as development conditions have become more challenging.

It makes <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/novm">NOVM</a>'s 2021-completed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/the-lennox-parramatta-12-phillip-street-parramatta-nsw-2150">The Lennox</a> one of the most recently completed residential towers on the Parramatta River, and among the newest apartment developments in Sydney's second CBD.

With the project largely completed before the sharp escalation in construction costs and inflation following the pandemic, The Lennox is now offering pricing that would be difficult to replicate in a comparable new development in Parramatta today, or across much of Western Sydney.

The majority of the 413 apartments at The Lennox sold before and shortly after completion. A limited release of the remaining apartments has recently been brought to market by capital partner <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/equitifund-group">Equitifund</a>, with entry-level pricing from $700,000 and two-bedroom apartments available from under $1 million.

Rising above the Parramatta River at 12 Phillip Street, The Lennox comprises one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, appealing to first home buyers, young professionals, families, downsizers and interstate investors seeking a completed apartment in one of Australia's fastest-growing economic centres.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=372394]

Rather than positioning Parramatta as an alternative to Sydney's CBD, Equitifund believes the city has reached a point where it stands on its own merits.

"Parramatta is no longer simply an alternative to Sydney CBD, it's becoming a destination in its own right," Equitifund Executive Chairman Greg Huxley said.

"The Lennox captures that evolution with a level of quality and amenity that's difficult to match at its price point."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=953]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/marchese-partners">Marchese Partners</a>, the tower responds directly to its riverfront setting through expansive glazing and open-plan layouts that maximise views across the Parramatta River and city skyline. Interiors feature engineered timber flooring, stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances and floor-to-ceiling glazing, while generous balconies extend the living spaces outdoors.

Marchese Partners says the project was conceived to balance high-quality apartment living with practical, long-term functionality, pairing larger, efficient floorplans with amenities more commonly associated with five-star hotels.

That emphasis continues through the resident facilities, which include a 20-metre rooftop swimming pool, fully equipped gym and wellness spaces, full-time concierge, a residents' lounge, function room, private lifts, secure basement parking and rooftop communal areas overlooking the Parramatta River. Ground-floor boardwalk retail and dining further activate the riverfront and integrate the building into the surrounding public realm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=925]

Australian housing and finance group Equitifund has secured the remaining apartments, believing there are few completed apartment opportunities in Parramatta that offer the same combination of location, amenity and pricing.

Equitifund National Sales Director Ben Hamblett says buyers are increasingly recognising that premium apartment living no longer needs to come with Sydney CBD pricing.

"The Lennox is where aspirational living becomes attainable," Hamblett said.

"Wake to river and mountain views, step into Sydney's Second CBD, and arrive home to resort-calibre amenities, all without the harbour price tag."

Hamblett says owner-occupiers are also attracted by the convenience of having Westfield Parramatta, Church Street's dining precinct, Parramatta Park, Riverside Theatres, Western Sydney University and major transport connections all within walking distance.

"At The Lennox, lifestyle is not an afterthought, it is the foundation."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=5374]

The Lennox places residents within walking distance of Parramatta Square, Westfield Parramatta, Church Street Eat Street, Parramatta Station, the ferry wharf, Light Rail, the future Sydney Metro West, Parramatta Park and CommBank Stadium, reinforcing Parramatta's position as one of Australia's most connected metropolitan centres outside Sydney's CBD.

Equitifund says buyers visiting the display suite consistently comment on the quality of the finishes, generous floorplans, river and skyline views, and the walkability of the location. The project has attracted a broad mix of local professionals, upsizers, downsizers, buyers relocating from Sydney's inner suburbs and interstate investors seeking long-term growth opportunities.

That demand aligns with Parramatta's continued evolution as an economic powerhouse. Equitifund Research and Market Insights specialist John Bekiaris says sustained population growth, infrastructure investment and expanding employment opportunities continue to support long-term housing demand across the city.

"Parramatta has evolved from a satellite city into one of Australia's most important economic centres. Population growth, infrastructure investment and employment are all supporting sustained long-term housing demand."

The apartment price gap drawing Sydney buyers west

A luxury beachfront apartment at Rainbow Bay has more than doubled in value since it sold off the plan six years ago, setting a new local apartment record in the process.

The three-bedroom apartment in the Flow development on Petrie Street, the first of four new projects locally by Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Projects, has sold for $7.4 million, after originally selling for $3.27 million when the project launched in 2020.

The seventh-floor apartment, comprising 187 sqm of internal living space and a 54 sqm balcony overlooking Froggies Beach and Snapper Rocks, was purchased by a local family.

The transaction was negotiated by Pezet Matheson director Kerry Pezet and equates to more than $30,000 per sqm.

Pezet said the sale reflected the limited opportunities to buy into the boutique beachfront development.

"The sale highlights the rarity of opportunities within the boutique beachfront development, where residences seldom become available," Pezet said.

"Flow is one of the Gold Coast's most tightly held buildings. Buyers from our database move quickly when residences become available, and achieving an off-market sale at $7.4 million demonstrates the depth of demand for property of this calibre."

<img alt="Flow" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c585b206-2130-4eee-a50c-3f27c51a7c70" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-06%20at%208.33.25%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=m3pHRDV62Y3fvN.XQuQHq.52ilTWpRLf" />

Flow was the first of four luxury apartment developments delivered by Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Projects at Rainbow Bay and was completed in 2023.

Positioned on the beachfront overlooking Snapper Rocks, the residence includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a powder room and views stretching north along the coastline towards Surfers Paradise.

Pezet Matheson Residential principal Mitchell Lambert said buyers continued to prioritise quality beachfront apartments in tightly held locations.

"Flow Residences offers a rare combination of elevated beachfront positioning, architectural excellence, comprehensive resident amenity and premium finishes, which is exactly what discerning purchasers are seeking," Lambert said.

"The transaction further reinforces Rainbow Bay's reputation as one of Australia's premier coastal lifestyle destinations, where limited supply and growing demand continue to support strong market performance."

Pezet Matheson originally marketed and sold out Flow off the plan, making the latest transaction a return to one of the project's original buyers.

Paul Gedoun is selling his third project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/radia-rainbow-bay-271-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Radia Rainbow Bay</a>, after recently completing, and selling out, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/esprit-217-227-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Esprit</a>.

Rainbow Bay apartment doubles in price since off the plan sale during pandemic

The long-planned transformation of Brisbane's historic Shafston Estate has taken another major step, with Capella Hotel Group announced as the luxury hospitality partner behind what will become Brisbane's first branded residences.

The project, to be known as Capella Residences Brisbane, is being delivered by Verso Projects at the landmark Kangaroo Point riverfront estate, with completion targeted for 2029.

The announcement follows a series of planning changes to the project over recent years. The site was originally approved in 2023 for a 15-level, 37-apartment development designed by Rothelowman for Burgundy Group before Verso Projects took over the 10,070 sqm riverfront holding and lodged revised plans with Kerry Hill Architects to increase the development to a 25-level tower with 51 apartments.

The latest announcement confirms Capella Hotel Group will bring its branded residential offering to the project, marking just the second Capella Residences development globally after Seoul, and the group's first branded residential project in Australia.

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/23-castlebar-street-kangaroo-point-qld-4169">Castlebar Street development</a> will centre around the restoration of the heritage-listed Shafston House, one of Brisbane's oldest residences, originally constructed in 1851 by Reverend Robert Creyke as a single-storey cottage known as Ravenscott.

<img alt="Capella" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2b9f4ce5-638f-4d6b-8082-3ca7e4b75fca" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-09%20at%207.20.41%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=f7aeqsW_DzOJI4FymWb3lD8NptSfsP7q" />

Capella said the project aligns with its focus on heritage-led developments, with the Brisbane estate combining the restored historic residence with a new luxury apartment tower and hospitality-inspired resident amenities.

Residents will have access to the Capella Living Room, a concierge-led communal space inspired by the group's luxury hotels, alongside landscaped gardens, six swimming pools, wellness and recreation facilities.

The broader estate will also include two riverfront homes, a six-berth private marina, porte cochère arrival experience, secure basement parking and a new section of public riverwalk along the Brisbane River frontage.

The heritage Postal Depot Building will also be retained and repurposed as a guest house, in line with the revised development plans.

The project represents another evolution for the site, which Kerry Hill Architects previously described as a rare opportunity to restore one of Brisbane's most significant heritage estates while creating a new benchmark for apartment living.

"The Shafston Estate provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity to restore one of Brisbane's finest heritage precincts and to reinstate residential use as a unique site perched on the edge of Kangaroo Point," Kerry Hill Architects said in its Urban Context Report accompanying the planning submission.

"The project will celebrate excellence in sub-tropical residential design, setting a new benchmark for vertical living in Brisbane."

Verso Projects, which now has an $8.5 billion development pipeline spanning more than 6,000 dwellings across apartments, townhouses, retail and commercial projects, said the partnership with Capella would elevate the development beyond a traditional residential project.

"We feel honoured to be restoring Shafston Estate to its former glory, elevating it to new heights of luxury and excellence underpinned by Capella's distinctive service ethos and design philosophy, and making it a standout landmark in Brisbane," Verso Projects CEO Steve Laffey said.

"By partnering with Capella, globally recognised for its refined approach to luxury hospitality and deep respect for cultural and historical context, we will elevate this project beyond a residential offering into a world-class destination."

Capella Hotel Group President Roland Fasel said Brisbane's emergence as a global city made it the right location for the company's Australian residential debut.

"Brisbane is a city on the cusp of something remarkable, and Capella Residences is our commitment to being part of that story," Fasel said.

"The Capella residential experience is more than luxury. It is about a sense of belonging to a place with deep meaning."

Private appointments have now opened for the project, with a display suite expected to open in late 2026 ahead of the planned 2029 completion.

Capella to launch Brisbane's first branded residences at Shafston House, Kangaroo Point

Lewis Land's latest apartment release within its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/harbour-shores-biggera-waters-564-oxley-drive-biggera-waters-qld-4216">Harbour Shores</a> masterplan is targeting one of the Gold Coast's fastest-growing buyer groups, with almost a third of apartments at Solis priced below $1 million.

The seven-storey building at Biggera Waters will comprise 91 apartments, including 24 one-bedroom residences starting from $778,000, a price point Lewis Land says is aimed squarely at first home buyers struggling to enter the Gold Coast market.

<img alt="Harbour Shires" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e7486e37-22f6-4c92-b212-9b0622070b8f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-08%20at%209.09.34%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=W8MJwJUCf6HkIyl_EVSksnd.QI6MZryY" />

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lewis-land-group">Lewis Land</a> Head of Development Michael Long said the developer deliberately allocated a significant proportion of the project to more affordable apartment types.

"First home buyers have been priced out of many parts of the Gold Coast, and we saw a clear opportunity to address this and play our part in a longer-term housing solution," Long said.

"That's why 24 of the 91 apartments being delivered at Solis have been designed and priced for the city's next generation of homeowners, quality one-bedroom apartments, half of which include an additional multipurpose room to maximise space and flexibility.

"This approach places 30 per cent of apartments in Solis under $1 million, and with close proximity to Harbour Town's future light rail extension connecting residents to the city's major employment and knowledge hubs, it's a win for buyers looking to secure their first property."

<img alt="Sores" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="550526d3-73ba-4710-9739-c5f4294a30ef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-08%20at%209.09.29%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=cQQdXHt9wS0UXwZEm5Py5bH_3kAmzyhu" />

Designed by BDA Architecture, Solis will deliver a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with residences ranging up to 232 sqm. Apartments feature generous balconies and contemporary finishes, while residents will have access to Harbour Shores' lagoon pool, clubhouse, tennis court, gym, yoga studio and sauna.

The focus on first home buyers resonated with purchaser Holly Humphreys, who said she and her boyfriend spent more than a year searching for their first property before shifting their attention from houses to apartments.

"We fell in love with the first house we bid on and got our hopes up, but after repeated knockbacks we learned not to get too attached," Humphreys said.

"We offered at the high end of price guides, but sales kept going even higher. That's where we really struggled and we needed to re-evaluate our budget and our expectations. Standalone houses were off the table, and we pivoted to apartments and townhouses."

Humphreys said it was encouraging to see developers recognising the growing demand from first home buyers.

"There's a growing number of young buyers looking to enter the market earlier because they understand that getting in now can make a real difference as prices continue to rise," she said.

"It's fantastic to see a developer recognise this and then actively take measures to deliver an apartment with us in mind."

Solis is the first development planned within the second stage of the Harbour Shores masterplan, with early works expected to commence in September 2026.

Lewis Land targets first home buyers at latest Harbour Shores release, Solis

Luxury apartment developer Abadeen has recorded $19.25 million in apartment sales across two of its Lower North Shore developments in the lead-up to the end of the financial year, headlined by the sale of a $6.75 million penthouse at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/koyo-crows-nest-5-rodborough-avenue-crows-nest-nsw-2065">KOYO in Crows Nest.</a>

The transactions also included the sale of a newly completed three-bedroom apartment at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/park-residences-cremorne-2-sutherland-street-cremorne-nsw-2090">Park Residences in Cremorne</a> for $6.35 million, with the residence selling shortly after the project's first public inspections following completion.

The sales come as completed, owner-occupier-focused apartments continue to attract strong demand across Sydney's Lower North Shore, particularly from buyers looking for certainty and immediate occupancy.

The penthouse at KOYO spans 491 sqm across a single level and was designed by architect Koichi Takada. The development is one of Abadeen's flagship boutique projects in Crows Nest.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=370093]

Abadeen Executive Chairman and Founder Justin Brown said buyer activity lifted noticeably in the lead-up to the end of the financial year.

"We saw a clear increase in enquiry levels, inspection numbers and buyer engagement across our completed projects leading into the end of the financial year," Brown said.

"Buyers have become far more decisive over the past six months. The combination of improving confidence, limited supply and the ability to physically inspect completed residences is creating strong competition for premium apartments in the best locations."

Brown says the&nbsp;response to Park Residences following completion has been particularly strong.

"Buyers want certainty and are responding positively to the opportunity to walk through a finished product, inspect the quality firsthand and move in immediately," Brown suggested.

"Projects such as Park Residences and KOYO demonstrate that when the product is exceptional and the location is irreplaceable, buyers are prepared to act quickly."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=370116]

Abadeen CEO Joe Tack said quality continued to differentiate projects in the current market.

"Today's buyers are incredibly discerning," Tack said.

"They are seeking larger floorplans, premium finishes, walkability, lifestyle amenity and confidence in the developer delivering the project. Well-designed boutique developments continue to outperform because they offer something genuinely difficult to replace.

"The enquiry we are seeing across our completed and recently completed Lower North Shore portfolio is very encouraging, and we expect this momentum to continue into spring."

The sales follow increased enquiry across Abadeen's Lower North Shore portfolio which also includes <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/northcote-collective-naremburn-2-northcote-street-naremburn-nsw-2065">Northcote Collective in Naremburn</a> which also completed recently.

Melbourne off the plan townhouses

<a href="/developers/m3-group">M3 Group</a> has sold out all of the townhomes at their <a href="/buildings/158-purinuan-rd-by-m3-group-158-purinuan-road-reservoir">158 Purinuan Road</a> development.

The development, which features four two-bedroom townhomes, is nearing completion, with new owners set to move in over the next few weeks.

Each townhome includes two bedrooms, private ensuites, a courtyard, and a single garage.

158 Purinuan Rd blends traditional design elements with contemporary touches, such as feature brickwork and a curated material palette, reflecting the character of Reservoir.

The homes are also designed with sustainability in mind, featuring a minimum 6-star energy rating, rainwater collection tanks, and EV-ready garages.

The development is just steps from Cheddar Road and minutes from the heart of Reservoir, with a short walk to the train station.

158 Purinuan Rd is part of a trio of developments by M3 Group in Reservoir, including projects at <a href="/buildings/48-dundee-st-by-m3-group-48-dundee-street-reservoir">48 Dundee Street</a> and <a href="/buildings/69-hickford-st-by-m3-group-69-hickford-street-reservoir">69 Hickford Street</a>. Each development is located within a few hundred metres of one another.&nbsp;

The Hickford and Dundee St projects have one townhouse left in each. Darren Blair from Blair Property sold out 158 Purinuan, and is handling the sales of the other two projects.

M3 Group sell out Reservoir townhouse development, 158 Purinuan Road

Family developer&nbsp;<a href="/developers/m3-group">M3</a>&nbsp;Group is close to completing each of its three townhouse developments in Melbourne's&nbsp;<a href="/developments/reservoir-vic-3073">Reservoir</a>.

M3 Consult, who are the developers, builders and designers of each of their developments, have 13 townhouses across three sites, all located within a couple of hundred metres of each other.

The trio of projects, named after their street names,&nbsp;48 Dundee Street, 69 Hickford Street and 158 Purinuan Road, have proven popular with first home buyers, who have been eligible for the $10,000 First Home Owner Grant (FHOG), and local families and downsizers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142462 project_image_fid=230651]

<a href="/buildings/158-purinuan-rd-by-m3-group-158-purinuan-road-reservoir">158 Purinuan Rd</a>&nbsp;has just sold its final townhouse. Only one remains in&nbsp;<a href="/buildings/48-dundee-st-by-m3-group-48-dundee-street-reservoir">48 Dundee Street</a> and <a href="/buildings/69-hickford-st-by-m3-group-69-hickford-street-reservoir">69 Hickford Street</a>.

Upon completion, 158 Purinuan Rd will be home to only four two-bedroom townhomes, located just steps from Cheddar Road and minutes from the heart of Reservoir.

48 Dundee Street offers only five two and three-bedroom townhomes, while 69 Hickford Street offers a choice of four three and four-bedroom townhomes, each with a single or double garage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142462 project_image_fid=230652]

Taking inspiration from traditional forms, these residences feature gable roofs, strong porches, recesses, and fenestrations that create visual interest—playing with geometry and symmetry.

“Inspired by traditional forms, our townhomes exude charming street appeal, showcasing quality workmanship, functional spaces, and a contemporary aesthetic,” architect Gianni Mancuso said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142460 project_image_fid=240502]

The location of the townhouses has been a real stand out. They're located a short walk from both Dr Atkinson Reserve and JC Donath Reserve, the latter a regional sports park with a skate park, exercise equipment and a kid's playground. The Bundoora Park Public Golf Course is a 10-minute drive.

The townhomes are also just an eight-minute drive to the centre of Reservoir, where the train station is located surrounded by more restaurants, cafes, bars, and a Coles supermarket.

M3 Group approach complete of Reservoir townhouse collection

Downsizers from Melbourne's inner east have swooped on Burnley Maltings, one of the only opportunities to move into a newly built home in the tightly held suburb in recent years.

They've been coming from large family homes in the likes of <a href="/developments/kew-vic-3101">Kew</a>, <a href="/developments/hawthorn-vic-3122">Hawthorn</a> and <a href="/developments/richmond-vic-3121">Richmond</a> now the kids have flown the nest and they don't need such a large family home.

The townhouses at <a href="/new-apartments/burnley-maltings-richmond-45-gibdon-street-richmond">Burnley Maltings</a> cater for multi-generational living but are low maintenance. All but one townhouse in the development of 37 residences offering three bedrooms, while several have a separate home office space and all have large rooftop terraces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14401 project_image_fid=264102]

"These buyers want to be somewhere where there's more going on, but don't want to be right in the thick of the action," Bart O'Callaghan, director of developer Developed by Urban says.

"They don't want to be in the middle of Richmond, but they want the easy access either by train, with the Burnley Station just 500 metres away, or a short car ride."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14401 project_image_fid=264089]

O'Callaghan says they're also expecting local upsizers when construction is more advanced, from those who don't want the headache and cost of renovating and extending their current Victorian-era cottage and instead opt for a new home. Burnley Maltings brings that heritage through, given the terraces in the&nbsp;heritage-protected landmark&nbsp;Barrett &amp; Burston Maltings, a historic malting factory that started life in the late 1800s as Terry's Burnley Brewery.

The street is also just across the road from the prestigious St Georges Road, one of Melbourne's priciest streets where there have been sales of up to $88 million.

Currently under construction with a target completion date of late 2025, Burnley Maltings represents a rare heritage restoration that is difficult to reproduce in the current built environment.

<a href="/developers/developed-by-urban">Developed by Urban</a>&nbsp;is a&nbsp;specialist in restorations of old and heritage-listed buildings. They took the opportunity not many developers would when the historic building came up for sale.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=14401 project_image_fid=264091]

O’Callaghan says for years Burnley's main&nbsp;detraction had been the operating heritage maltings which finished operations in 2018.

"We have put a tonne of work into the heritage restoration and reimagining of the c.1885 space to now incorporate 1,000 sqm of gardens and beautifully designed new homes, perfect for Families and downsizers alike.

“So often&nbsp;<a href="/developments/melbourne-vic" target="">Melbourne</a>&nbsp;families living in the inner suburbs are forced further away from the CBD in pursuit of space and a larger family home close to Schools. Burnley Maltings townhomes include lock-up garages, oversized bedrooms rooftop terraces and oodles of family living space.”

Why downsizers are flocking to Burnley Maltings

Sustainability, customisation and space were key drawcards for purchasers of Beulah’s Brunswick Established project over the weekend, with downsizers and young professionals collectively snapping up 65 per cent of townhomes during the first day of launch.

The sales success, which equated to $32.5 million worth in sales, made it one of the fastest-selling projects in <a href="/developments/brunswick-vic-3056">Brunswick</a>.&nbsp;

Comprised of 23 two-storey townhouses, <a href="/new-townhouses/brunswick-established-23-hodgson-st-brunswick-vic-3056">Brunswick Established</a>’s sales success is attributed to the boundary-pushing design that will see it become the first heritage townhome community to implement circular living in Brunswick, in addition to offering flexible homes that can be customised via Beulah’s unique ‘Tailored Living’ initiative.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136451 project_image_fid=277194]

<a href="/developers/beulah">Beulah</a> Executive Adelene Teh said several purchasers took advantage of the offering and will transform one of the flexi-rooms into an art studio, another will convert theirs into a home office, and another into a home sewing studio.&nbsp;

“In addition to the customisation, a strong emphasis was placed on how ‘future-proofed’ the project was," Teh says.

"Buyers, particularly local owner occupiers, retirees, and interstate buyers who are looking to relocate to Melbourne, were attracted to the design by <a href="/architects/six-degrees-architects">Six Degrees Architects</a> which not only prioritises sustainability and honours the heritage of the site but integrates with the local fabric of Brunswick.&nbsp;

“We recognise the significance of a home purchase for many individuals and the years to come, so it was important for us to create homes that seamlessly adapt to evolving lifestyles and cater to diverse needs - this allows purchasers to customise their homes to suit the stage of life they are currently in while acknowledging where they are heading.&nbsp;

“We also saw interest from young professionals from the Parkville biomedical precinct who knew and loved the area and wanted a well-designed home that offered more space than an apartment and provided long-term social, economic and environmental benefits. Brunswick is one of Melbourne’s most desirable neighbourhoods and townhomes like these, in an intimate mews-style design, are incredibly rare."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136451 project_image_fid=275571]

&nbsp;

Brunswick Established offers multiple typologies of townhomes to suit different living requirements, allowing residents to grow in place - the majority include ground-floor bedrooms for accessibility while others provide a detached flexible studio room separated by a courtyard.&nbsp;

Sustainable initiatives include being gas and fossil-fuel-free, solar panels for renewable energy, rainwater harvesting, energy-efficient lighting systems and appliances, and EV Charging infrastructure. Residents will also have access to an edible garden and composting facilities to assist in the continual growth of produce.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136451 project_image_fid=275569]

By taking a circular ecosystem approach, residents of Brunswick Established will reap the benefits socially, economically and environmentally, including lower energy costs and utility bills and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.&nbsp;

Designed by leaders in social and sustainable architecture, Six Degrees Director Peter Malatt said it was important to design homes that are built to last.&nbsp;

“These homes have been designed for resident’s well-being, allowing couples and families to ‘grow’ in their own homes while ensuring they meet their needs for generations to come," Malatt said.

"Purchasers usually experience multiple lifestyle stages within one home and we’re looking forward to seeing these unique homes come to life."

Builder developer&nbsp;Burbank Urban has launched a limited release of homes in its new townhouse development in the heart of Camberwell.

No.1 Camberwell comprises 16 three and four-bedroom free-standing and semi-detached homes starting from $2.3 million.

More than half of the homes sit on large corner lots with&nbsp;spacious courtyards and multiple perspectives, while over half of the 5,000 sqm plus site at 1 Cooloongatta Road, just off Riversdale Road, is dedicated to greenery and open space.

<img alt="No.1 Camberwell launch - back" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a85c9b8a-9852-46f1-b6c5-3fa932348ee2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/No.1%20Camberwell%20back.jpg?VersionId=SGlqEV0Ro2yGpAcEjPKPU_jT3xBPoZSU" />

Designed by <a href="/architects/genton">Genton</a>, each home at No.1 Camberwell showcases a rare proposition in a premium location - unique architectural style, premium finishes, and diverse floor plans.

“We strove to design well-functioning, warm and inviting spaces that still have that grandeur and can impress,” Sylvanna Mitri, Interior Designer at Austin Design Associates, said.

<img alt="No.1 Camberwell launch - interior" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1c97d765-ad07-40ab-8098-edbba86d4b9e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/No.1%20Camberwell%20interior.jpg?VersionId=GGTwBryblfGy74IYLLgiRph5VFS6X0g4" />

This approach is evident in the expansive high-ceiling rooms and large double-glazed windows that provide outlooks onto greenery.

Ben Scott from Ben Scott Garden Design said a standout feature of the homes is their serene, immersive outdoor spaces.

"Expansive and inviting, they extend each home far beyond four walls," Scott said.

With one in five Australians living in a multi-generational household, Melbourne developer Beulah has taken the concept of a future-proofed and multi-generational home to a new level with its newest project, <a href="/new-townhouses/brunswick-established-23-hodgson-st-brunswick-vic-3056">Brunswick Established</a>.&nbsp;

Recognising the significance of a home purchase for many individuals and the years to come, <a href="/developers/beulah">Beulah</a> aims to offer homes that seamlessly adapt to evolving lifestyles and cater to diverse needs – this allows purchasers to customise their homes to suit the stage of life they are currently in while acknowledging where they are heading.&nbsp;

Research from the UNSW City Futures Research Centre revealed that multi-generational living is on the rise with one in five Australians living in a multigenerational household; the most common complaint raised in multi-generational households is noise and lack of privacy. A large cohort driving this trend is men (54 per cent of men) and women (47 per cent of women) aged 18 to 29 years old still living under the same roof as their parents.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=221153]

Comprised of 23 two-storey townhouses, Brunswick Established offers multiple typologies of townhomes to suit different living requirements, allowing residents to grow in place - the majority include ground-floor bedrooms for accessibility while others provide a detached room separated by a courtyard.&nbsp;

On top of that, Beulah will enable purchasers of Brunswick Established to customise their homes to cater to different phases of life - from changing the flooring to accommodate a home gym, creating the perfect home studio or home office to creating a grandparent’s (or kids) retreat - no two homes will be the same.&nbsp;

Beulah's Executive Director, Adelene Teh, said that when they launched&nbsp;Tailored Living within <a href="/new-apartments/sth-bnk-by-beulah-southbank-60-southbank-boulevard-southbank">STH BNK By Beulah</a>, it received so much interest as purchasers were eager to create their own dream home by amalgamating floorplans.

"We took this approach and catered it to a suburb such as <a href="/developments/brunswick-vic-3056">Brunswick</a>, where off the plan townhouses are few and far between. Purchasers are generally limited to choosing their preferred colour scheme and finishes when buying off the plan; we wanted to give them more flexibility to create a home that would grow with them.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=221169]

In addition to longevity, Teh said multi-generational living arrangements can also offer opportunities to bolster psychological, social and financial well-being.&nbsp;

“From shared expenses in terms of utilities and groceries, family support during the early stages of starting a family or&nbsp; companionship through the later stages of life - there are multiple benefits to multi-generational living arrangements in terms of health and well-being.&nbsp;

“Other financial advantages include extending the home’s lifespan to the next generation and saving on significant renovations, ultimately reducing construction waste.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=221160]

Further future-proofing the project, Brunswick Established will also become the first heritage townhome community to implement circular living in Brunswick.&nbsp;

Sustainable initiatives include being gas and fossil-fuel-free, solar panels for renewable energy and rainwater harvesting,&nbsp; 
energy-efficient lighting systems and appliances, and EV Charging infrastructure. Residents will also have access to an edible garden and composting facilities to assist in the continual growth of produce.&nbsp;

By taking a circular ecosystem approach, residents of Brunswick Established will reap the benefits socially, economically and environmentally, including lower energy costs and utility bills and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.&nbsp;

Designed by leaders in social and sustainable architecture, Six Degrees Director Peter Malatt said it was important to design homes that are built to last.&nbsp;

“These homes have been designed for resident’s well-being, allowing couples and families to ‘grow’ in their own homes while ensuring they meet their needs for generations to come. Purchasers usually experience multiple lifestyle stages within one home and we’re looking forward to seeing these unique homes come to life,” he said.

Boutique property developer Gestalt Property has appointed award-winning builder with Brompton Construction to bring to life its mixed-used development Clyde Street.

<a href="/builders/brompton-construction">Brompton</a>&nbsp;won two Master Builders Associations Awards last year. Their work on&nbsp;14 Gleniffer Avenue, Brighton East, won the award&nbsp;for the Best Multi-Unit development between four to 12 units, while their build of 30 Rooding Street in Brighton won the same award in the 12 units plus category.

<a href="/new-apartments/clyde-street-kew-733-high-street-kew">Clyde Street</a>&nbsp;by <a href="/developers/gestalt">Gestalt Property</a>&nbsp;comprises 11 house-sized townhouses coupled with three apartments and retail spaces. There are just two one-bedroom apartments and a two-bedroom penthouse apartment in the <a href="/architects/ma-architects">MA Architects</a>-designed building.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212833]

<a href="/project-marketer/jellis-craig-projects">Jellis Craig Projects</a> 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.

MA Architects Associate Rachel McNally elaborated on the townhouses' design, mentioning two distinct types with differing living spaces.&nbsp;

"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.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212832]

Each townhouse comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living spaces, a car garage, and a storage room – sitting in gardens designed by landscape architect <a href="/landscape-architect/simon-taylor">Simon Taylor</a>. Taylor said he only had to look around the suburb for inspiration for the townhouse gardens.&nbsp;

Clyde Street is conveniently located within walking distance of a tram stop at the corner of High Street, providing easy access to Kew Junction, Richmond, and the CBD, just fifteen minutes away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139984 project_image_fid=212843]

Within a one-kilometre radius of the property, residents can find outdoor spaces for picnics, hiking, and sports, as well as some of the country's top schools, including St Anne's School, Kew East Primary School and Kew High School.

Construction for Clyde Street is due to commence in April 2024.

Prominent Melbourne growth corridor developer Sivasli is well on track to complete a new collection of residences in their Sunbury masterplan.

They're over 80 per cent through the construction of <a href="/buildings/elanor-sunbury-750-elizabeth-drive-sunbury">Elanor</a>, just 18 townhouses and single-level villas just in front of Harpers Creek. The small community will have direct pathway access to the creek,&nbsp;

The single-level, three-bedroom villas, situated on the street side of the Elizabeth Drive site, extend out to landscaped front and rear yards, while the townhomes, designed for the family buyer, span two levels and sit beside Harpers Creek and its walking trails.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101342 project_image_fid=256980]

So far downsizing owner-occupiers from the local area have made up the bulk of enquiry, however, there have also been a few first home buyers and investors, looking to take advantage of the affordability benefits.

Each of the residences, designed by Petridis Architects, has three bedrooms and dedicated study rooms. The palette features natural and textured materials including&nbsp;warm timber joinery, oak-inspired floors, and Dekton stone surfaces.

The residences have also been appointed with energy-efficient appliances and initiatives, including rainwater harvesting, energy-efficient LED lighting, environmentally intelligent design for orientation and insulation, water-conscious fittings, and low-maintenance green spaces.

Prices for the townhouses start from $639,900.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101342 project_image_fid=256984]

The location of the residences is proving to be a major drawcard for buyers, with not only the creek within walking distance, but the closest Woolworths being just 400 metres away.&nbsp; The <a href="/developments/sunbury-vic-3429">Sunbury</a> Square Shopping Centre is just a seven-minute drive, while the Melbourne CBD is around 30 kilometres south of the townhouses.

<a href="/builders/zentos-construction">Zentos Construction</a> is working toward a mid-2024 finish to the townhouses, with off the plan buyers expected to move in by May 2024.

<a href="/developers/sivasli">Sivasli</a> has a long track record of delivering quality house and land and townhomes in some of Melbourne's strongest growth corridors. They recently completed Surrey Green in Sunbury and <a href="/new-townhouses/annabelle-laverton-vic-13-thomas-street-laverton">Annabelle in Laverton</a>.

They have projects coming up in Wyndham Vale, another growing area that is around 30 kilometres from the Melbourne CBD. It will be another project that is&nbsp;price sensitive to allow for both entry-level buyers as well as investors.

Their development pipeline also includes an upcoming project in <a href="/developments/corio-vic-3214">Corio</a>, near <a href="/developments/geelong-vic-3220">Geelong</a>.

The $100 million project, known as <a href="/developments/corio-vic-3214">Edenville</a>, will comprise over 100 new homes on a three-hectare block.

ASX-listed developer Cedar Woods has seen significant interest in their latest residential offering in Williams Landing, the 275-hectare masterplanned community in the City of Wyndham.

Over half of the first release of townhouses in the Addison Walk townhouse collection were snapped up on the first weekend of its recent launch.

The 33&nbsp;<a href="/new-townhouses/addison-walk-williams-landing">Addison Walk</a>&nbsp;townhouses will draw a wide variety of buyers given the options of either two, three or four-bedroom configurations across either two or three-level floor plans.

The strong result highlights the increasing demand for quality townhomes living in <a href="/new-townhouses/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a>'s booming western suburbs - with the City of Wyndham notably one of the fastest growing regions in Australia.&nbsp;

<a href="/developments/williams-landing-vic-3027">Williams Landing</a> has experienced strong population growth (42%) over the past five years, demonstrating its increasing popularity. Williams Landing has proven to be popular among families and young couples with the average occupants being 20-39 years old.

<img alt="Addison Walk Launch" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7f1eca05-d88e-4a9c-9579-e28f6d47f52a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Addison%20Walk%20Launch.png?VersionId=EeFYL2QhFQtLJLBnYshZDot2HH4l3I_T" />

<a href="/developers/cedar-woods">Cedar Woods</a> Victorian State Manager James Bovell attributed the rapid up-take to Addison Walk's competitive pricing, a unique architectural design and the value proposition it offers for entry into the Melbourne property market.&nbsp;

“With the pressure of interest rates affecting purchasing power for a lot of home buyers, we are seeing more people turn to townhomes which offer well-appointed, contemporary living spaces at an attractive price point compared to traditional detached homes,” Bovell said.&nbsp;

“Townhomes can provide more possibilities for a diverse mix of homebuyers, delivering greater convenience and less maintenance with the added benefit of privacy. The Addison Walk release also provides the required space for the growing needs of many couples and families.”&nbsp;

<img alt="Addison Walk Launch - Living" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="425dd199-1fcf-4bb3-9c41-84ea07f31c84" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Addison%20Walk%20Living.png?VersionId=zUsgbmGt95Q9iEQ3N0Qnl_9ncdCPYmlB" />

Designed by <a href="/architects/dko-architecture">DKO</a>, the townhomes are designed to deliver seamless indoor-outdoor living and entertainment spaces, complemented by quality finishes. Kitchens come equipped with European appliances, stone benchtops &amp; splashbacks with timber-look flooring to kitchen &amp; living areas and bathrooms with curated porcelain tiling.&nbsp;

Sustainability credentials are also impressive with homes being all electric and built to a 6.5 star energy rating in line with Australia’s move towards more energy-efficient homes.&nbsp;

The townhomes are well-located in the heart of Williams Landing, a ten-minute walk from the Williams Landing train station, providing swift access to Melbourne's CBD in just 30 minutes. Surrounded by rich lifestyle amenities, residents can also enjoy proximity to Addison Park and Wetlands, the Williams Landing Shopping Centre, as well as multiple schools, childcare centres and restaurants options also located close by.&nbsp;

Bovell said great location and lifestyle amenities are what today’s home buyers expect.&nbsp;

Addison Walk townhomes launched with a starting price from $649,000, with civil construction slated to commence in mid-2024.
