Brisbane-based developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/azure">Azure</a> is has been greenlit for its $115 million residential project within the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct in Southport

Following the acquisition of the site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/1-clarke-street-southport-qld-4215">1 Clarke Street</a> in October 2025 with development application Lodgement in January 2026, Azure has been granted approval for the 114 terraces which will form the final stage of the wider Lumina development.

“It’s a fantastic milestone for us to receive the green light on our second Gold Coast project,” said Trent Keirnan, Founder of Azure.

“The Gold Coast continues to evolve, with demand for considered, high-quality residences at an all-time high. This project has been thoughtfully shaped to respond to that demand.

“We’ve worked closely with Economic Development Queensland to bring this project forward, and the collaboration has been both proactive and highly considered. Their shared commitment to quality housing outcomes has enabled a streamlined approvals process and a strong result for the precinct.”&nbsp;

Appealing to a wide demographic, the project will deliver a range of two- and three-storey designs comprising a collection of three-bedroom terrace homes as well as one- and two-bedroom apartment-style residences. The designs by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-studio">Plus Studio</a>&nbsp;focus on&nbsp;“urban coastalism”.

Residents will have access to an array of lifestyle amenities, including a resort-style pool with multiple lounging zones and landscaped gardens.

The residential offering will support the thriving Health and Knowledge Precinct, which includes Griffith University, Gold Coast University Hospital, Gold Coast Private Hospital and the new RDX Lumina and Proxima Towers, which are home to a range of health, education and research tenancies, including a 200-place childcare centre.

Azure aims for an off-market release for the project in the third quarter of this year, at the same time as construction is anticipated to start.

Fortis has secured approval for a 57-room hotel at Richmond Square, marking another milestone in the delivery of the $330 million mixed-use precinct in Melbourne's inner east.

The hotel will occupy Levels 1 and 2 of Carmine House and forms part of Fortis' vision for Richmond Square, a precinct that will bring together apartments, hospitality, wellness and lifestyle offerings between Richmond and Cremorne.

Once complete, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/richmond-square-1-wiltshire-street-richmond-vic-3121">Richmond Square</a> will comprise 107 residences across Wiltshire House and Carmine House, alongside the hotel, hospitality venues, wellness facilities and a range of services aimed at both residents and visitors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13181 project_image_fid=348529]

The approval adds another layer to what Fortis is creating at Richmond Square, as developers increasingly look beyond standalone apartment buildings and towards mixed-use precincts that provide amenity and activation beyond the front door.

Jordan Winada, Head of Acquisitions (Commercial) Victoria at Fortis, said the approval was an important step in delivering the broader vision for the project.

"Richmond Square has always been about creating a destination rather than simply delivering residential apartments," Winada said.

"As buyer expectations continue to evolve, we're seeing increasing demand for developments that offer convenience, connection and access to high-quality experiences and amenity as part of everyday life.

"The hotel approval allows us to further realise that vision and create a precinct where residential living is complemented by hospitality, services and amenity in a way that is rarely seen in Melbourne's CBD and city fringe."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13181 project_image_fid=348530]

The hotel will also support a range of optional services for residents of Carmine House, including housekeeping and linen refresh programs, laundry and dry-cleaning services, in-residence food and beverage delivery, grocery and pantry stocking services, and concierge assistance.

The approval comes as owner-occupiers continue to dominate Australia's new apartment market, with buyers increasingly seeking developments that offer convenience, flexibility and lifestyle amenity alongside their homes.

Winada said buyers are now placing greater emphasis on the broader precinct and surrounding amenity when making purchasing decisions.

"Residential amenity is no longer limited to what sits within an apartment building. Buyers are increasingly assessing the broader lifestyle ecosystem surrounding their home and the ways in which a precinct can support their day-to-day needs.

"Richmond Square has been designed to provide that experience through a carefully curated mix of residential, hospitality and lifestyle offerings that work together to create a more connected way of living."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13181 project_image_fid=348534]

The hotel is expected to open in early 2027, with the operator to be announced later this year.

Further hospitality, retail and lifestyle tenants are also expected to be revealed in the coming months as Fortis continues to shape the offering at Richmond Square.

Having successfully expanded into a new region with its Caloundra apartment development, Sunset by Dusk Group, growing South East Queensland developer Dusk Group is again venturing into new territory.

The developer has lodged plans for a 70-apartment project in the Moreton Bay region, to be known as <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sunrise-on-sutton-25-sutton-street-redcliffe-qld-4020">Sunrise on Sutton</a>, named after its prime Sutton Street location, just one street back from Suttons Beach.

<img alt="Sutton" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="88a9f9ee-6ace-47f5-a0c6-8fb134b27e98" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-15%20at%209.20.42%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=iMXmJ7_BNZAmCt.jjupMSLdV_Qa9zJAK" />

Dusk Group Directors Huw Feeney and Anthony Short seized the opportunity to acquire the near-1,800 sqm amalgamated corner site at Sutton and Ella Streets for their first project in the area.

They have again enlisted MAS Architecture Studio, the architects behind Sunset by Dusk, to design the new eight-storey development.

The building will comprise a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments and has been designed to maximise views towards Suttons Beach, Margate Beach and Moreton Bay.

Pending approvals, the project could launch before the end of the year.

<img alt="Dusk" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="90c0c26c-096c-4ceb-8c58-f8303aea542f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-15%20at%209.20.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=nw8bqQtpOrf5nA95tuYhtqdB59YUzmO0" />

The development will provide 111 car parking spaces and 40 bicycle spaces.

Positioned within walking distance of Suttons Beach, Bluewater Square, Redcliffe Hospital and the Redcliffe Paceway, the development will sit within one of the peninsula's increasingly urbanised coastal pockets.

Redcliffe's new apartment market remains exceptionally tight, with Gardner Vaughan Group's One Redcliffe currently the only new apartment development actively being marketed in the beachside suburb.

It's another beach-focused development for Dusk Group, who has seen considerable success at its Caloundra apartment development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sunset-by-dusk-group-caloundra-5-7-bombala-terrace-caloundra-qld-4551">Sunset by Dusk Group</a>.

Over 80 per cent of the 36 apartments have sold ahead of its early 2027 completion.

Leading Brisbane developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/consolidated-properties">Consolidated Properties Group (CPG)</a> has completed and settled $450 million worth of apartments at Monarch Residences in Toowong, marking one of Brisbane’s most significant and prestigious riverfront residential completions in recent years.

The final apartment at Monarch sold at auction on the 30th May for $4.1m.&nbsp;

The milestone has been marked at a ribbon-cutting ceremony at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/monarch-residences-toowong-600-coronation-drive-toowong-qld-4066">Monarch Residences</a>, with Cr Penny Wolff highlighting the importance of completing major residential projects to boost the city’s much-needed housing supply.

The 224 apartments, delivered across two 15-level towers, are now officially in the hands of owners, including Brisbane downsizers, families and professionals who have traded traditional houses for apartment living. The completion underscores sustained demand for absolute riverfront living in Brisbane’s inner west.

<img alt="$450M Monarch Residences sells out as Brisbane riverfront demand surges" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="56ae05e9-092f-41f0-98a1-a10984fdd171" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/ROBNN_MONARCHLAUNCHEVENT-131.jpg?VersionId=p76J6weGZqseNrE6aOAjmAHUah.y65Gd" />

Monarch Residences was planned and delivered over four years on a 1.2-hectare parcel with more than 130 metres of direct frontage to the Brisbane River, occupying one of the last remaining true riverfront sites of its scale and orientation within close proximity to the CBD. The site has been transformed from an underutilised, derelict block of land, into a thriving residential precinct with Middenbury House at its centre.&nbsp;

Consolidated Properties Group CEO and Chairman Don O’Rorke says the project’s completion represents the culmination of years of careful planning, design collaboration, market conviction and outstanding team delivery.

“We announced Monarch Residences in late 2021 and it’s been one of the most strongly received residential projects in our 45-year history,” Mr O’Rorke said.

"We are incredibly grateful to the outstanding team who helped bring Monarch Residences to life. A special thank you to Hutchinson Builders and their hardworking labour force for delivering a development of exceptional quality that our residents will be proud to call home for many years to come.

“Brisbane City Council and Titles Queensland also played a huge role in getting residents into their homes early through the pilot programs they ran to speed up the approval processes. They understand the challenges of the housing industry and are doing something about it.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=211466]

Consolidated Properties Group Head of Residential, James MacGinley said Monarch Residences showed what could be achieved when private industry and government worked together to deliver new housing for Brisbane.

“Monarch Residences has delivered more than 200 new apartments in Brisbane’s inner-west at a time when additional housing supply is critically important,” MacGinley said.

“It’s fantastic to see residents now moving into this landmark riverfront development, which reflects the strength of collaboration between Council and the project team throughout delivery.

“All government agencies played a significant hand in achieving a fast-tracked outcome for Monarch Residences with Brisbane City Council, Urban Utilities, Energex and Titles Queensland assisted to remove hurdles to achieve settlements.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=302326]

With Monarch Residences now complete, CPG has launched River Living, a bespoke on-site property management service designed to enhance the resident experience. The service will support all future CPG residential projects, including the recently announced <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/gloriette-30-bedivere-street-yeerongpilly-qld-4105">Gloriette</a> in Yeerongpilly and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/castile-47-skyring-terrace-newstead-qld-4006">Castile</a> in Newstead.

The completion also marks the opening of a prized leasing opportunity at the heritage-listed Middenbury House, built in 1865 and which has been carefully restored and integrated into the broader masterplan.&nbsp;

CPG said the adaptive reuse of the landmark riverfront residence presents an opportunity to introduce a complementary boutique tenancy that respects the site’s historic significance while activating the riverfront frontage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113455 project_image_fid=211495]

Colliers Director of Residential Andrew Scriven said the move-in phase highlights continued demand for completed premium riverfront apartments in Brisbane.

“Residents are now experiencing firsthand the scale, craftsmanship and irreplaceable riverfront position that Monarch offers,” Scriven said.

“Opportunities to secure a brand-new, completed residence on Brisbane’s absolute riverfront are exceptionally rare. Combined with the proven track record of Consolidated Properties Group and Hutchinson Builders, combined with a design vision brought to life by some of Australia’s leading architects and designers, Monarch represents a unique opportunity to purchase a home of enduring quality and prestige.”

Monarch Residences was designed in collaboration with Melbourne-based architect Wardle Studio, alongside leading national practice Cottee Parker, with construction delivered by Hutchinson Builders.

Consolidated Properties Group sells out Monarch Residences as Brisbane riverfront demand surges

An entity directed by HSN's Rafi Assouline and Rebel Property's Allen Linz has filed plans for an impressive new precinct in Woolloomooloo.

The major mixed-use development would transform a prominent William Street site into a new residential village anchored by affordable housing and a large public park.

The proposal, submitted as a State Significant Development Application, covers 164-172 and 174-194 William Street, a 6,398 sqm site between Forbes Street and Dowling Street on the southern edge of Woolloomooloo.

Designed by fjcstudio in collaboration with Bangawarra, Studio Bright and Tribe Studio Architects, the scheme would deliver 227 apartments across four residential buildings ranging in height up to 18 storeys, alongside retail space, public domain improvements and a new publicly accessible park.

<img alt="Rebel" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0eb59b7c-914a-4a5c-b849-3a56749f5e93" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-12%20at%2011.18.51%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=mxM6EEqeoLjrCiTlCzTKTvzpKuh6kSkH" />

It's another design scheme for Rebel, who took <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/first-look-rebel-property-group-takes-woolloomooloo-precinct-to-nsw-government">concept plans to the NSW Gov late last year</a>.

The latest plans will be a mix of 167 build-to-sell apartments and 60 affordable apartments, with the affordable housing component representing 15 per cent of the project's gross floor area. The apartment mix includes 12 one-bedroom, 53 two-bedroom, 89 three-bedroom apartments and 13 penthouses, while the affordable housing component would comprise 42 one-bedroom and 18 two-bedroom apartments.

<img alt="Rebel" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3b3d4553-8a8c-4af5-aa8c-519ffb1e28c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-12%20at%2011.20.12%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=_Yb6ibN7eDnOtQjCNDK2eviORa4qzgv." />

Rebel Property is seeking to take advantage of the NSW Government's infill affordable housing bonus provisions under the Housing SEPP, which provide additional floor space and height in exchange for the delivery of affordable housing for a minimum of 15 years. The planning pathway allows a 30 per cent increase in floor space ratio and building height where 15 per cent of the development is dedicated to affordable housing.

&nbsp;

At the centre of the development is a 1,356 sqm sunlit public park designed to become a new community gathering space at the gateway to Woolloomooloo. The park would be complemented by a network of pedestrian laneways connecting William Street with the surrounding streets, improving permeability through what is currently a largely impermeable block.

<img alt="Rebel" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="257af931-a393-4007-8c6d-7219796df58d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-12%20at%2011.20.51%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=KAHy94GrhaReFsWTGDKfy39EDJ8gEEv4" />

The design team says the public domain has been heavily influenced by the site's topography and Aboriginal cultural heritage, drawing on the escarpments, gullies and landscape characteristics that historically defined the area before urbanisation. The landscape design has been developed in partnership with First Nations consultancy Bangawarra.

The project would be delivered across four separate buildings. The William Street East and William Street West buildings, designed by fjcstudio, would contain the majority of the apartments. Melbourne-based Studio Bright has designed the Forbes Street building, while Tribe Studio Architects is responsible for the Dowling Street building.

Rebel had secured approval for the concept plans late last year.

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;

[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.

ALAND lodge plans for second stage of $800 million The Gladstone Village

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.
