ASX-listed developer Cedar Woods is progressing its plans for its Southbank arts precinct site.&nbsp;

The developer has filed plans, which are now with the&nbsp;Department of Transport and Planning, for a new 20-level tower at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/141-151-sturt-street-southbank-vic-3006">141–151 Sturt Street</a>, a 2,718 sqm block opposite the Habitat Filter sculpture.

The proposal seeks to demolish the two-level&nbsp;commercial building, including a small supermarket and medical tenancies, and create a new building with 180 apartments and a focus on an&nbsp;active public realm and arts integration.

&nbsp;

<img alt="Southbank site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="76a72db6-91ef-43ae-827d-a9cfa72893d2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Site.png?VersionId=DZgtB4K6BswVh0QtCs3iLjXaLp0CbcEb" />

&nbsp;

There will be a full mix of apartment configurations, including 28 studio apartments, 16 one-bedroom, 104 two-bedroom, and 32 three-bedroom units.

Retail, creative arts, and residential amenity functions are integrated across the lower levels. A food and drink tenancy is planned to front Dodds Street, while a retail tenancy fronting Sturt Street will be accessed via an elevated walkway. The first floor includes a substantial 734 sqm creative arts space, envisioned to support Melbourne’s growing cultural and digital industries.

Architecture firm <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has put together the plans. In their&nbsp;Urban Design Report they highlighted the project’s ambition to embed itself within Southbank’s evolving cultural fabric.

A central feature of the design is a through-block link connecting Sturt and Dodds Streets, landscaped with native plantings and embedded with universal access ramps.

“The ramp has been thoughtfully integrated as the primary access point, ensuring universal accessibility for all users,” the report noted, with the link offering “a direct response to the urban planning scheme of creating more green spaces within our communities”.

<img alt="Southbank podium" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4d24b1b2-d69c-4a11-a11d-ec6df432221c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/podium.png?VersionId=geWoJyZDmPSLODZ_.PNJ0LvpOmyyCdpo" />

The building’s podium form responds to the mandatory height limits along Dodds Street and maintains a fine-grain interface to adjoining developments. Above the podium, the tower is articulated with recessed balconies and a focus on views toward the CBD and surrounding arts institutions. A communal rooftop recreation deck and indoor lounge are positioned on level four, adjoining seven apartments and providing over 900 sqm of resident amenity space.

Vehicle access and loading will be provided via Dodds Street, with 155 resident car spaces located across two basement levels and the first three above-ground floors. Bicycle storage is more generous, with 226 spaces distributed across resident, staff and visitor needs.

Rothelowman describes the architecture as “humanist,” with ground-level interfaces designed to encourage social interaction and provide a dignified entry for both residents and passers-by. “All street interfaces are crafted to invite and nurture human connections,” the design report states. “The façade transitions to a human scale, providing an approachable and engaging streetscape”.

Cedar Woods, while well-known for its large communities it develops outside of Australia's capital cities, they have recently developed in Melbourne's inner-ring before. They are approaching completion at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/88-leveson-north-melbourne-88-leveson-street-north-melbourne-vic-3051">88 Leveson</a>, just 15 townhouses in the heart of North Melbourne.

Cedar Woods progresses with new apartment plans in Southbank arts precinct

Brisbane developers Core Property Partners and Vector Property Australia has teamed up for Brisbane's newest apartment development.

The duo identified <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/east-brisbane-qld-4169">East Brisbane</a> as their preferred suburb, on the fringe of the Gabba Precinct, where they've just revealed BANKSII, 72 apartments opposite Raymond Park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5481]

The one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments will sit in a glass-wrapped building that will also feature a rooftop with an&nbsp;infinity-edge pool, a BBQ area and alfresco dining spaces, sun lounges, and a sauna, as well as a resident-only gym and a ground-floor cafe.

Rhett Williams, Director of Vector Property Australia, said the project will lift the quality of the East Brisbane community and set a new benchmark.

"In Brisbane’s current property landscape, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/banksii-east-brisbane-169-wellington-road-east-brisbane-qld-4169">BANKSII</a> stands out through its emphasis on lifestyle-oriented living, connectivity and sophisticated design," Williams says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5479]

The 10-level building has been designed by MAS Architecture. Their designs were inspired by the native Banksia flower, with the architecture and interiors reflecting the organic symmetry of its namesake flora. MAS has interpreted this throughout the building’s curved form, façade detailing and interior palette.&nbsp;

The building’s flowing geometry and natural tones are complemented by large balconies and floor-to-ceiling glazing, maximising cross-breezes, daylight and views over the city, parklands and river.

“Having a strong narrative for a building helps us architecturally,” MAS noted. "We can choose colours that come off that species of flowers. The trunk and the trees and the flower elements all are now visible in our joinery on the inside and in our architectural finishes on the outside."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5485]

Apartments will feature timber floors, soft porcelain tiles, brushed bronze fittings, and stone benchtops with warm veining.&nbsp;

Kitchens feature premium SMEG appliances and generous storage, while bathrooms have been designed as calming retreats with curved cabinetry and twin sinks in the master ensuites.

The building will feature a suite of rooftop and wellness amenities. Residents will have access to an infinity-edge pool, BBQ and alfresco dining areas, sun lounges and a rooftop sauna.&nbsp;

A residents-only gym will be located on the podium level, while a ground-floor café and landscaped laneway will further activate the site and improve neighbourhood connectivity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=5488]

BANKSII will rise from a prime Wellington Road site, with the building oriented to overlook the adjacent Raymond Park and take in extensive city views. It is also on the doorstep of key&nbsp;lifestyle infrastructure, including the future Kangaroo Point Green Bridge, The Gabba stadium, and the planned Brisbane Live arena.&nbsp;

Public transport options, including ferry, bus and rail - including the future Cross River Rail Woolloongabba station - are all nearby, supporting a car-optional lifestyle just minutes from the CBD.

Williams said the team spent over a year searching for the ideal site before securing this location.

"We were attracted to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/east-brisbane-qld-4169">East Brisbane</a> as it is a vibrant and growing community that offers a perfect balance of urban convenience and natural beauty with the parklands and river on our doorstep.”

The project is part of the broader Woolloongabba Games precinct, which is undergoing significant investment in the lead-up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. This urban renewal, coupled with infrastructure upgrades, is expected to enhance long-term liveability and capital growth in the area.

Given the wide max of configurations, BANKSII is expected to suit everyone from first home buyers and investors to families and downsizers.

BANKSII sales launch in booming East Brisbane apartment market

The Minns Labor Government will deliver Sydney’s first new heavy rail station in more than a decade – enabling up to 10,000 new homes by rezoning land around Woollahra and Edgecliff stations, right next to the CBD, to tackle the housing crisis and rebalance growth across the city.

Recent reports by the NSW Productivity Commission have warned that Sydney is losing twice as many young people as it is gaining, while also finding that Woollahra is the most feasible Local Government Area (LGA) in New South Wales to build new housing.

Despite this, housing approvals in Woollahra consistently lag well behind other LGAs, and the population has declined by 11 per cent over the past 50 years while Greater Sydney as a whole has grown by 74 per cent.

The new station that will be an eight-minute trip from Sydney CBD, will be located on the Eastern Suburbs train line in Woollahra, where a station build was started in the 1970s but never completed.

To enable the delivery of new homes the NSW Government will lead a rezoning of Woollahra and Edgecliff stations similar to other state led rezonings to allow additional homes to be built around the stations.

Affordable housing will also make up a proportion of development on the site with the final amount of affordable housing required, to be determined as part of the rezoning process.

The area surrounding the new station is within walking distance of major green and recreational space including Cooper, Trumper, Rushcutters Bay and Centennial Parks.

The Eastern Suburbs train line between Bondi Junction and Sydney CBD also has the lowest passenger usage rates during the AM peak of any line on the Sydney network, with only 43 per cent of operating capacity during the AM peak currently being utilised by passengers.

Sydney Water and Infrastructure NSW have confirmed there is capacity in the water and wastewater systems to accommodate the proposed 10,000 dwellings without major upgrades.

The rezoning is expected to take around two years and will further support the Government’s housing targets that rebalance the delivery of new homes around existing infrastructure.

Fresh off completing its mixed-use Malvern project Malvern Collective, Kokoda Property Group has acquired a prime site on Richmond's Bridge Road.

They are planning a mid-rise residential development with&nbsp;integrated wellness amenities and a vibrant ground-floor retail and dining offering.

The site, at&nbsp;487–495 Bridge Road, spans&nbsp;1,650 sqm with 50 metres of dual frontage across Bridge Road and Palmer Street. It is currently leased to Adairs, and has a large retail building and 20 onsite car parks.
</section>

<section data-element_type="section" data-id="534a164">
Kokoda Property Group’s acquisition forms part of a broader phase of growth in Melbourne, building on momentum from the completion of Malvern Collective and the recent purchase of a Burnley Street site for the developer’s first commercial project.&nbsp;

Mark Stevens, Kokoda Property Group’s Founder and Managing Director, said that the company’s Bridge Road site acquisition signals confidence in a city that is re-accelerating.

“Melbourne is regaining momentum,"&nbsp;Stevens said.

"After a cautious period post-COVID, we’re seeing buyer sentiment stabilise and capital leaning back into well-located, quality projects. Victoria now benefits from deep builder capacity and competitive delivery pricing, creating a rare opportunity to bring design-led inner-city developments to market without compromising on craftsmanship.

“Richmond ticks all the boxes for us – connectivity, culture and everyday amenity – making Bridge Road the perfect address for an amenity-rich, multi-use development."

<img alt="Kokoda" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9a8de51d-8092-480a-8b7e-e081816692c2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-08-29%20at%208.54.27%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VRHpV5.6beOu2cieKHWrw3ErMPuVOAuj" />

Envisioned as an “urban lantern” the building will bring a distinctive new presence to Bridge Road with a sculptural retail frontage, designed to honour the street’s heritage character while contributing to its renewal.

Stevens said the acquisition reflects the developer’s commitment to design-led addresses in Melbourne’s inner city.

“Drawing on Richmond’s rich heritage and dynamic character, we’ve envisioned a contemporary building that respects the past while elevating the way people live today. With dual frontages, curated ground-floor spaces, and a focus on wellness, this project will contribute to the neighbourhood’s evolution, appealing to both downsizers and a new generation of professionals.”

Kokoda Property will now progress concept design ahead of a future planning process.

First look: Kokoda secures Richmond site for new apartment development

Gold Coast developer Drew Group is fast approaching sell-out at its Main Beach apartment development, Lagoon Main Beach.

In the last nine months, Drew Group and sales partner Pezet Matheson have secured 31 sales totalling over $75 million, as the two-tower development advances towards completion under the expert eye of Hutchinson Builders.

“Today's buyers are more discerning than ever," Drew Group Managing Director Jon Drew says.

"It's essential to provide something truly unique that sets a development apart, and we believe Lagoon has achieved just that."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=193023]

Just over 50 per cent of recent&nbsp;sales have been to local buyers, reflecting the deep trust and connection within the Gold Coast community that Drew Group has developed over the years.

Demand has been particularly robust at the top end, with two of the three exclusive penthouses already sold, alongside five sub-penthouses. Only seven apartments remain in Lagoon's Signature Series — one&nbsp;penthouse and six sub-penthouses.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=284864]

Drew Group has also removed the much-maligned sunset clause from all contracts at Lagoon. The sunset clause — although rarely invoked, yet on occasion known to have been — allows developers to take back contracts on apartments should the building not be completed within the timeframe specified in the contract.

Pezet Matheson Co-Director Jayde Pezet says the fact Lagoon is&nbsp;within a year of completion, and has no sunset clause in contracts, provides certainty to buyers.

"This is paramount in the current market," Pezet says.

Drew Group has committed to providing the highest level of security inclusions — none more impressive than the Ubiquity Access Control System, a cutting-edge facial recognition technology that is one of the most state-of-the-art keyless entry systems on the market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=190743]

One of the biggest drawcards to Lagoon has been the size of the apartments.

"It is unlikely that any future new development in Main Beach will be able to offer such spacious living at this price point," Drew says.

"Today's buyers are more discerning than ever, carefully evaluating amenities like gyms, spas, workspaces, and beach lockers, along with quality finishes. It's essential to provide something truly unique that sets a development apart, and we believe Lagoon has achieved just that."

Lagoon is set to complete construction in mid-2026.

Merrylands

Sydney developers, ALAND, have submitted plans for the second stage of its transformational Merrylands development, The Gladstone Village.&nbsp;

The $800 million project’s second stage will top out at 20-storeys, comprising 245 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, along with three ground floor retail spaces and a large residents’-only rooftop terrace.

ALAND engaged a top tier consultancy team, including PTW Architects, Land &amp; Form Studio Landscape Architects and Think Planning, to collaborate on the design.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7642 project_image_fid=197136]

Head of Development, Ryan Lane said they partnered with leading design groups to elevate the standard of design and living in Merrylands.

“We are fortunate to work with an experienced team who have designed a product that is a game-changer for Merrylands, there is really nothing else like it in the area,” he said.

“The team brings a diverse background designing high-density mixed-use projects that have best-in-class urban design. The result for Merrylands will be a contemporary and well-rounded design that will be a wonderful place for residents to live and one that considers the surrounding environment.”

28 one-bedders are slated to be constructed as part of stage two, in addition to 196 two-bedroom and 21 three-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

Senior Development Manager, Anas Rahhal said the apartments have been crafted to cater to the current and future needs of residents, with Western Sydney’s population pitched to only increase.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7642 project_image_fid=197118]

“We’re catering to the evolving needs of future residents, as such our floorplans have been designed above industry standards, offering generous areas and support the need to work from home by including larger study areas and generous living spaces ranging. with apartment sizes ranging between 53 - 124 sqm,” he said.

“The project is set to provide best-in-class precinct living in this region, with ultra-convenience having the transport interchange, shopping centre, open space all at your doorstep,” Rahhal added.&nbsp;

On the top level, residents will have access to a 940 sqm rooftop terrace providing a variety of amenity, including an outdoor cinema screen, a barbecue area kitchen pavilion, yoga and retreat spaces, as well as a community vegetable garden. &nbsp;

Apartments on level one will also have access to private landscaped gardens with retreat seating, covered breakout spaces and a kid’s play soft turf area.

The retail spaces across the ground floor are expected to attract a mix of alfresco dining options, which will seamlessly link to an activated public open space and tree-lined boulevards connected to the wider Gladstone Village.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7642 project_image_fid=197117]

On completion the 2.5-hectare masterplanned precinct will provide 1100 residential apartments across multiple buildings, as well as a curated selection of amenities in each, located around a central park and green spaces.

The new site also packs a punch with its convenient location, on the corner of Neil Street and the future McLeod Road, just 150-metres from Merrylands train station and opposite the Stockland Merrylands Shopping Centre.

Quartz, the first stage of The Gladstone Village located at 224-240 Pitt Street is currently under construction and has just over 100 apartments available remaining.

Sydney developer, Coronation Property is helping to make stepping onto the property ladder a little easier for aspiring home buyers.&nbsp;

Coronation, a local developer of mixed-use developments and masterplanned communities across Sydney, has recently launched their &#39;Own Way&#39; finance scheme, which offers flexible deposit arrangements for aspiring buyers.&nbsp;

The scheme caters to homebuyers wanting to get a foot in the door, but who may be struggling to save for the substantial 10 per cent deposit, with the payment scheme allowing purchasers to secure an apartment with just a one per cent, up front deposit.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=160999]

After which, buyers can continue to save and pay off the remaining balance of the 10 per cent deposit over a 12-month period.

Further easing the burden for young buyers, the Own Way payment scheme has no impact on eligibility for the NSW Government&rsquo;s First Homeowner Grant and First Home Buyers Assistance Scheme.

The scheme is eligible at Coronation Property&#39;s&nbsp;project, Mason &amp; Main - the group&#39;s precinct-style project west of Sydney in Merrylands.

Les Landerer, a senior executive at Coronation Property, says the scheme was primarily designed to support first home buyers and young families, who are consistently priced out of the housing market.

&ldquo;Coronation Property is committed to helping more purchasers on their personal journey towards buying their first property, because we understand it&rsquo;s one of the most valuable and rewarding investments most people will make in their lifetime,&rdquo; Landerer says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161005]

&ldquo;With the gap between median house and unit values in Sydney increasing, the Own Way scheme allows buyers to enter the local property market at an attainable price point, without having to sacrifice on quality.

&ldquo;We collaborate with the most distinguished architects and interior designers in the industry to develop and build high-quality, high-design residences, crafted especially for the diverse lifestyles of our buyers, and this new scheme is our way of helping people gain affordable entry into Sydney&rsquo;s housing market.&rdquo;

After trialling the incentive with select customers in 2021, Coronation Property noticed strong uptake of the offer, which in turn helped with the decision to expedite the launch.

First home buyer, Soomin Lee, was among the first to take advantage of the Own Way scheme, purchasing a two-bedroom apartment at&nbsp;Mason &amp; Main.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161001]

&ldquo;I feel like we&rsquo;re always told to buy house and land, but the 10% upfront deposit wasn&rsquo;t feasible for me,&rdquo; Lee said.

&nbsp;&ldquo;By locking in an apartment on a one per cent upfront deposit instead, and then having time to save the remaining portion of the deposit, I was able to get into the property market straight away and have the convenience of being able to pay the remaining balance over a reasonable timeframe.

&ldquo;Without the one per cent incentive I would have had to wait another two to three years to buy a home. It was always in the back of my mind, but I wasn&rsquo;t able to make it a priority,&rdquo; Lee added.

Mason &amp; Main is set to become one of Western Sydney&rsquo;s most thriving hubs, intentionally designed in collaboration with the multi-award-winning architects from Woods Bagot as a new town centre for Merrylands.

Its prime location on Merrylands Road is perfectly positioned between Sydney&rsquo;s two CBDs, just five-minutes from Parramatta and a 25-minute drive to Sydney&rsquo;s CBD.

With an exciting pipeline of new infrastructure on the horizon for the area it&rsquo;s no wonder the yet to be completed&nbsp;development has already hit over 60 per cent sold.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161005]

Demand for property in Merrylands remains strong as the area has seen significant investments in infrastructure and continued community development.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re seeing strong interest from first-home buyers wanting to get a foot into the competitive property market. The amenity on offer at Mason &amp; Main is unlike anything else currently on offer in the area which has garnered strong interest from the local demographic priced out of Parramatta,&quot; said&nbsp;Cameron Porter, Head of Sales and&nbsp;Marketing at Coronation.&nbsp;

Cumberland City Council have long publicised their commitment to urban transformation and connectivity between Merrylands and Parramatta CBDs. The significant investment in infrastructure around Merrylands and its strong projected population growth of 1.36 per cent&nbsp;by 2036, guarantees a&nbsp;positive future for the suburb making it a lucrative investment opportunity.

$11 million has been invested into the development of Merrylands Civic Square, which is expected to be complete by 2023. Located just 50-meters from Mason &amp; Main, this will be a new hub for businesses and residents to come together, enhancing the sense of community in the already vibrant suburb. Merrylands Civic Square will also be a great connection to Mason &amp; Main&rsquo;s Eat Street, further enriching the value of the precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=160996]

$2.4 billion has been injected into the Parramatta Light Rail, significantly improving public transport options and connectivity across the Western Suburbs, allowing people to move more efficiently through surrounding areas like Carlingford, Westmead, Sydney Olympic Park and Strathfield.

This project will cement Parramatta as Sydney&rsquo;s second CBD, positioning Merrylands as a promising location for people seeking first-class apartments and amenity close Parramatta&rsquo;s CBD, with completion expected for around 2023.

$12 billion has also been put toward the Sydney Metro West, which is expected to be complete by 2030. The new underground railway will create greater connectivity between Western Sydney and the Sydney CBD, and generate thousands of new jobs for Western Sydney. As Merrylands Train Station connects with Parramatta and Sydney CBDs, travel time between the central business districts will be heavily reduced.

The Powerhouse Museum Parramatta is a $840 million project which will see the new Museum reside on the Parramatta River. Set to become a tourist and community hub for arts and culture, Mason &amp; Main residents will sit just 15 minutes-drive away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=160998]

With so much expected for the future, a number of projects around the area have already been completed, including the $2.7 billion Parramatta Square. As one of the largest urban renewal projects in the country, the Parramatta Square redevelopment offers premium grade office spaces, a multi-level retail podium, and civic facilities to entice people to the area, positioning itself as a thriving hub for businesses and individuals.

$1 billion redevelopment of Westmead Hospital has also been completed. As Australia&rsquo;s largest medical precinct, the Westmead Health and Medical Research Precinct redevelopment plans are a major boost for the area, while the expansion also bodes well for Mason &amp; Main residents as an investment opportunity by adding lasting value and long-term housing demand to the area.

A newly built Western Sydney University has recently opened nearby to Mason &amp; Main, with the campus in the heart of Bankstown. Western Sydney University (WSU) partnered with Walker Corporation to deliver the $340 million campus, triggering the creation of hundreds of new jobs in the surrounding suburbs, as well as another top-line education option for Mason &amp; Main residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=160999]

Offering a mix of studio, one, two, and three-bedroom configurations starting from $394,00, the residences have piqued the interest of investors with the forecast average rental return of over four per cent, along with the unique design, high quality finishes, promising location and adaptability of the apartments.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=31751]

With an exciting pipeline of new infrastructure on the horizon for the area it’s no wonder the yet to be completed development has already hit over 60 per cent sold.
