There’s a quiet patch of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hawthorn-vic-3122">Hawthorn</a>, between the bustle of Glenferrie Road and the curve of the Yarra, that rarely sees change, and even more rarely, new apartments. But that’s exactly where <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/pomeroy-pacific-quattro-corp">PQD</a> is planting Kooyongkoot: a deliberate, 18-residence answer to the question of what downsizers actually want.

“This is something this pocket of Hawthorn has never seen before,” says Fil Gacesa, head of sales at PQD. “<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kooyongkoot-hawthorn-1-kooyongkoot-road-hawthorn-vic-3122">Kooyongkoot</a> will deliver just 18 large-scale apartments in the heart of Hawthorn. It is the true definition of resort-style living.”

That scale is central to the story. It’s what allows for two dedicated lift cores, short corridors, and a generous lightcourt that draws natural ventilation and sunlight into every residence. It’s also what makes room for the sort of amenity usually confined to high-density towers: a fully equipped wellness centre with infrared and traditional saunas, yoga and pilates studio, cold therapy shower, and treatment room. There’s a golf simulator, car and dog wash stations, and extensive storage too, not bolted on, but baked in from the start.

But more than the checklist, it’s the design intent that carries weight. “This project has been many years in the making,” says Mark Pomeroy, Director of PQD. “Not just in planning, but in listening, to what our buyers and the local community are looking for”.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355289]

That listening shows up in the materials, oak floors, natural stone, V-ZUG appliances, and in how space is handled. Penthouses feature private rooftop terraces with pools. Terraces and garden residences embrace outdoor connection. Inside, the layouts skew large and open, geared for hosting, not just housing.

Architecturally, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>’s approach is grounded. There’s no reaching for spectacle here. Instead, the building offers a sculptural calm, anchored by landscaping from Eckersley Garden Architecture.&nbsp;

“We wanted to create spaces that feel expansive, serene, and meaningfully connected to daily life,” said founding partner Chris Stribley elsewhere.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355304]

That sentiment, calm, connection, echoes in the location itself. Kooyongkoot sits just a short stroll from Central Gardens, Fairview Park, and the Rivoli Cinema. Tram lines and schools are close, but the street is tucked, quiet, and leaf-lined.&nbsp;

“Residents of Kooyongkoot will be a short stroll from Fairview Park, Central Gardens, and the Glenferrie Road retail strip," Gacesa notes, "but you're also cocooned in this peaceful pocket behind extensive landscaping by Eckersley Garden Architecture.”

Kooyongkoot is set for completion in late 2026.

The project that said no to compromise: Inside Kooyongkoot, Hawthorn

When long-time Ivanhoe locals Graeme and Catherine, decided it was time to downsize, they weren’t necessarily in a rush.&nbsp;

Like many in their stage of life, they had started thinking about apartment living, but anticipated making the shift in two to three years.

That timeline changed when they visited <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/candela-ivanhoe-40-upper-heidelberg-road-ivanhoe">Candela</a>, a new boutique development by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/salter-brothers">Salter Brothers</a>. The project ticked all the boxes they were looking for: location, quality design, and long-term lifestyle benefits, which prompted them to bring their decision forward.

“It was the right place at the right time,” they said. “We knew immediately it ticked all the boxes, and we didn’t want to wait.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=358855]

Their decision to downsize was driven by a combination of practical needs and lifestyle considerations. Their existing home, while much loved, had become increasingly difficult to maintain. It spanned multiple levels, included extensive front and back gardens, and was starting to show the wear that comes with age.&nbsp;

They were looking for a more manageable lifestyle, one with less upkeep and more freedom. A brand-new apartment with no maintenance requirements and the ability to simply “lock up and leave” gave them peace of mind and a greater sense of control over their future.

Financially, the purchase made sense as well. The available stamp duty savings, strong price-to-value offering, and timing of the settlement suited their plans, making the transition smoother and more cost-effective. The apartment's design and inclusions further supported their choice.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357493]

The layout was both functional and flexible: three bedrooms, a butler’s pantry, a separate laundry, and a large open-plan living area. It gave them the freedom to host a family, accommodate guests, or set up a home office. The expansive balcony and elevated views added to the appeal, providing a sense of openness and connection to the outdoors.

“It just had a really good flow,” Catherine noted, something they found lacking in many other apartments they’d considered, particularly in the established market.

Candela’s boutique scale was another deciding factor. With a smaller number of residences and a top-floor penthouse position, the couple felt the development offered the privacy and space they were looking for, without feeling isolated.

“We liked that it wasn’t a huge development. It felt well-balanced, modern but still with a sense of community, not overwhelming,” they said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357508]

Equally important was the ability to remain in Ivanhoe, a suburb they know well and have deep roots in. After 46 years in the area, proximity to local parks, shops, and familiar faces mattered just as much as the apartment itself.

“We didn’t want to give up the community we’ve known for decades. Candela allowed us to upgrade our lifestyle while staying in the place we call home.”

With a Walk Score of 90, the village location supports a convenient, connected lifestyle. <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/ivanhoe-vic-3079">Ivanhoe</a> Station is just a eight-minute walk away, and the neighbourhood offers access to parks, cafes, restaurants, and schools along Upper Heidelberg Road, all within easy reach.

Beyond the apartment, the couple also saw value in the broader vision for Candela, one that integrates residential living with public spaces and local amenities.&nbsp;

The development introduces 58 new apartments as well as a mix of commercial and social spaces that integrate contemporary architecture with the suburb’s existing character.&nbsp;

At ground level, residents will find a charming café and a lifestyle wellness centre, perfect for unwinding and rejuvenating. Meanwhile, the rooftop garden offers a stunning vantage point for residents to enjoy breathtaking sunsets, host gatherings, or enjoy barbecues with family and friends. It's not just a place to live; it's a vibrant community where every moment is an opportunity to connect and create lasting memories.

Why Ivanhoe locals are choosing to downsize to Candela

Mark and Roy Makari are expanding their presence in Sydney’s South West with a second major proposal for Leppington, this time envisioning a 900-dwelling mixed-use development just 850 metres from their previously lodged tower trio on Fifth Avenue.

Project management and construction management firm Creative Vision filed the plans for the&nbsp;multi-building project at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/230-rickard-road-leppington-nsw-2179">230 Rickard Road, Leppington</a>. The proposal seeks to establish a new focal point for the precinct through a high-density, transit-oriented development supported by diverse land uses.

According to the Scoping Report prepared for the Department of Planning, the scheme includes around 900 apartments across multiple towers, including 135 dwellings designated for affordable housing. A mix of market and subsidised apartments will be supported by ground-level activation through retail and office space, a childcare centre, and a hotel, forming a comprehensive urban precinct.

<img alt="Mixed Use Development 230 Rickard Rd Leppington" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="34797362-f3dc-4d84-8235-2657fc5f3bde" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Plan.png?VersionId=Uzckrz9tUpDQl5lX1_WMhjnv16bsr8wG" />

The Design Report by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/studiosc-0">Studio SC</a> notes that the project “intends to deliver a high-quality, high-density built form that supports the vision for the Leppington Town Centre, integrating mixed-use outcomes and public domain upgrades.” The development is expected to be delivered in stages, although a precise timeline is yet to be confirmed.

The project will be assessed through a future State Significant Development Application, with the Scoping Report indicating the team will seek design excellence via a competitive process or through an expert design review panel. Early massing diagrams suggest a series of mid- to high-rise buildings framing a central landscaped spine, with emphasis on pedestrian permeability and public space.

The planning documentation flags a strong sustainability agenda, stating that the development will “respond to the urban heat island effect, incorporate water sensitive urban design, and prioritise active transport”.

<img alt="Mixed Use Development 230 Rickard Rd Leppington" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="369d7b54-1279-4cde-88ec-dcb215594414" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Podium_1.png?VersionId=QArL7B2kkLt63vl5xvL0FNV_ardAlez4" />

The proposal follows in the footsteps of the Makaris’ nearby Fifth Avenue site, where they’ve submitted plans for three towers comprising nearly 500 apartments, with 10 per cent dedicated to affordable housing. That project features commercial podiums, a childcare centre, and a new public park that would occupy more than a third of the site.

Both developments are situated within walking distance of Leppington Train Station and fall under strategic precinct plans promoting higher density housing. The town centre is undergoing substantial transformation, driven by state government planning reforms aimed at fast-tracking housing delivery.

Together, the two projects represent a combined ambition of nearly 1,400 new homes across just under two kilometres of central Leppington.

First look: 900-home mixed-use precinct planned for Leppington

Leading Australian integrated property development group, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/aqualand-australia">Aqualand</a>, has released the signature penthouses crowning its landmark AURA by Aqualand precinct at 168 Walker Street in North Sydney, unveiling Il Magnate and La Divina as the largest and most luxurious penthouses in the suburb.

With prices anticipated to commence from $15 million, and each accompanied by a new Porsche Carrera 911 valued at over $500K, the residences mark the culmination of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/aura-by-aqualand-north-sydney-168-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">AURA by Aqualand</a>’s decade-long journey and the beginning of its final sales chapter. 
&nbsp; 
Their release follows more than $850 million in record-breaking residential sales and the building’s completion and occupation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=358868]

The Richards Stanisich-designed 284 sqm Il Magnate and 224 sqm La Divina penthouses, collectively known as The Icons of AURA, are conceived as grand luxury homes rather than apartments, with expansive proportions, elevated materiality and curated identities that reflect their status as one-off residences.&nbsp;

Il Magnate features a grande master suite, complete with substantial walk-in dressing area and ensuite, three other bedrooms, second ensuite and another bathroom, powder room, open plan kitchen, scullery, substantial dining area and generous living room divided by a feature fireplace, and a multifunction wintergarden, which is ideal for a study and adjoining office breakout space. &nbsp;

Meanwhile, the La Divina residence offers the same amenities, sans the powder room, on a slightly smaller alternate floor plan configuration.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=358863]

Each occupies half of AURA by Aqualand’s topmost 28th level, comes with four secure car spaces and pairs sweeping Sydney Harbour panoramas with large-scale living spaces, refined detailing and a level of craftsmanship and amenity rarely offered in the North Shore market.&nbsp;

Penthouse residents will also receive Etymon’s ‘Black Key’ private concierge and lifestyle management service, an invitation only offering providing the ultimate in bespoke personalisation, including a range of everyday discrete services, from dinner party management, grocery deliveries, pet feeding or plants watered, dinners, snacks and coffee deliveries, event ticket sourcing, right up to organising travel visas and international airfares. Rarely seen in Australian properties, the service provides residents the benefits of living in a world-class luxury hotel-style home, akin to The Ritz, or the Waldorf Astoria.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=358862]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/richards-stanisich">Richards Stanisich</a>’s Director, Kirsten Stanisich, said the studio set out to craft residences that feel profoundly considered, contemporary and deeply connected to their setting.

“From the outset, we approached these penthouses with the sensibility of a grand Parisian residence - generous in scale, elegant in proportion and designed to feel more like a handcrafted home than an apartment," Stanisich said.

“Their elevated position and sweeping harbour outlook informed every decision, creating a rare connection between urban sophistication and natural calm. We shaped each space with expressive materiality, sculptural forms and bespoke detailing that invite touch and interaction.&nbsp;

“The result is a pair of residences defined by volume, light and an inherent softness - refined, flexible and deeply personal. These penthouses are unlike anything else in North Sydney, offering a sanctuary of true luxury framed by some of the city’s most remarkable views.”

For Aqualand’s Head of Sales &amp; Marketing, Alex Adams, the collaboration with Porsche underscores the shared ethos behind the residences.

“Aqualand’s collaboration with Porsche underpins both brand’s sharing an obsession with craftsmanship, design excellence, and enduring value," Adams said.

“Our penthouses are created for those who appreciate the finer details and expect the extraordinary at every touchpoint. Including a Porsche simply extends that experience beyond the residence - it’s a continuation of the lifestyle our buyers already live.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=292862]

Aqualand’s Managing Director, Jin Lin, said the penthouses represent both the pinnacle of AURA by Aqualand and an important design benchmark for the company’s future pipeline.&nbsp;

“These stunning penthouses reflect the purest expression of Aqualand’s design ambition," Lin said.

“The unparalleled design intent makes them not only the glistening crown of AURA by Aqualand, but the crown of North Sydney itself. They’re essentially a thank you gift to a burgeoning community that deserves this level of quality and architectural consideration.&nbsp;

“We’re leveraging the unrivalled standard set here as the foundation for what comes next, including our upcoming Anderson Street, Chatswood; 15 Blue Street, North Sydney and Central Barangaroo projects. Purchasers of these penthouses will essentially be living inside the blueprint of Aqualand’s future.

“These landmark residences demonstrate how far North Sydney has evolved and the strength of demand for highly curated, bespoke luxury homes. They’re more than penthouses, they’re legacy residences.&nbsp;

“With AURA by Aqualand now a thriving new precinct with residents well and truly settled, and our in-house world-class lifestyle amenity activated, Il Magnate and La Divina represent a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure an extraordinary piece of North Sydney’s future.”

Aqualand launches North Sydney penthouses with free Porsche Carrera 911

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/bokarina-qld-4575">Bokarina</a> Beach has quietly evolved into one of the Sunshine Coast’s most complete coastal lifestyle precincts, defined not just by proximity to the ocean, but by how residential living, local retail and everyday amenity are stitched together.&nbsp;

Gardner Vaughan Group’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/bask-bokarina-38-bokarina-boulevard-bokarina-qld-4575">Bask Bokarina</a> now represents the final residential chapter in that transformation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333360]

Over recent years, the Bokarina Beach precinct has taken shape as a walkable, community-oriented neighbourhood, anchored by beachfront access, Lake Kawana to the west, and a growing mix of cafés, specialty retail and public open space.&nbsp;

With Zinc Bokarina already delivered next door by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gardner-vaughan-group">Gardner Vaughan Group</a> (GVG), Bask is the last opportunity to buy a brand new apartment within the precinct, effectively rounding out a fully formed coastal village.

GVG has positioned Bask to strengthen that lifestyle framework. Ten ground-floor retail spaces are planned beneath the residences, extending Bokarina Boulevard’s existing activity and reinforcing the area’s everyday convenience, from casual dining and coffee to local services, within a short walk of the beach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333359]

The residential component comprises 135 apartments across two buildings, Mydas and Caretta, with a clear shift toward larger three- and four-bedroom layouts and penthouses. That mix reflects a maturing buyer profile in Bokarina, where demand is increasingly led by owner-occupiers and active downsizers seeking space, permanence, and connection to place rather than short-term coastal accommodation.

Design and amenity have followed the same logic. Residents will have access to a heated plunge pool, gym, private dining room with a full kitchen, landscaped communal gardens with barbecues and a firepit, and a shared herb and vegetable garden, facilities intended to support daily use rather than resort-style turnover. Pet-friendly features, including a dog wash bay, acknowledge both buyer expectations and the area’s dog-friendly beach, located around 250 metres from the site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333366]

“Bokarina has become one of the Sunshine Coast’s most desirable beachside communities, and Bask represents the very last chance to buy new in this location,” GVG Director Sam Gardner said.&nbsp;

“Our focus has been to create spacious, functional apartments that meet the needs of locals who want to downsize without compromise, as well as those seeking a full-time coastal retreat.”

Positioned between the Pacific Ocean and Lake Kawana, Bask apartments have been oriented to capture outlooks toward the water or the Glass House Mountains, reinforcing the project’s connection to its natural surroundings. With parks, beachfront paths, hospitals, retail and public transport already in place, Bask arrives at a point where the broader precinct is no longer emerging, but established.

Construction is expected to complete in Q3 this year, with apartments ready to move into this Spring.

Bask to complete Bokarina’s Sunshine Coast lifestyle precinct as final apartments are released

Miranda

Sydney property developers Fyve are heading south of the city for their latest residential development.&nbsp;

The group has lodged plans an amalgamated site in the heart of the Shire, with WMK Architecture behind the designs for the 36 apartments at 15-19 Pinnacle Street, Miranda.&nbsp;

A mix of apartment types will be delivered across a five-storey building, with four one-bedroom, 28 two-bedroom, and four three-bedroom apartments planned.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of the proposed Miranda apartment development" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8ad956c2-7413-434c-b757-116ff7fef8b6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-26%20at%2010.38.22%20pm.png?VersionId=qiH2X2G2ZW18gC3KXMPA6LB38p6FIwi0" />Render of the proposed residential development at&nbsp;at 15-19 Pinnacle Street, Miranda.

Following an open plan design, the living, dining and kitchen areas adjoin to generously-sized open spaces, in the form of balconies and terraces, connecting the indoors with the out whilst also providing additional living space.&nbsp;

Light and dark brown cladding will encompass a majority of the built form, with similar colours and materials used throughout, tying the project to the local environment.&nbsp;

In keeping with the natural surrounds, landscaping and greenery plays a pivotal role in the development, not only in the form of open communal spaces across the ground floor, but in softening the edge of the building and providing clear entry points into the building.&nbsp;

Landscaping will also enhance the privacy of the internal courtyards and balconies, without impeding views from the site. &nbsp;

Fyve has a steady pipeline of projects in the works, with the group also behind the plans for Liverpool's tallest apartment tower, which only recently launched to the market.&nbsp;

Dubbed The Liverpool, the 34-storey tower will deliver 193 apartments, along with a 93-room hotel, 6,500 sqm of commercial space, and a range of ground-floor retail tenancies.

While not only providing stock to a market that is strong in demand, especially in the Shire area, the proposed development also benefits from close proximity to public transport along with the Miranda Town Centre.

Two bedroom Miranda, NSW apartment listed by mortgagee

<html><body>
Sydney sporting power couple, Australian cricketer Trent Copeland and his professional netball wife Kimberley Green, have sold in the Shire.
They've sold the Miranda property they bought in 2011, a year before they wed near the beach in North Wollongong.
The purchase came shortly after Copeland was given his baggy green cap on his Test debut in Sri Lanka.
The strata townhouse had only been built four years earlier, part of a boutique complex of just three.
The living area opens to a grassed backyard and outdoor entertaining area on its 455 square metre parcel.
Pulse Property agents Ben Pike and Blake Spooner secured the sale. 
Copeland joined Seven last year as an analyst for the network's Test coverage.
Green is the captain of the Giants Netball.

The international lawn bowls couple Wayne Turley and Claire Duke have listed their family home in the Sutherland Shire.
The couple, who are both Commonwealth Games medalists, are off to Tweed Heads, the coastal mecca for lawn bowlers.
The move comes as the legendary Turley has secured a managerial role at the Tweed Heads Bowls Club which dates back to the early 1920s.
It also marks a return to the northern NSW for Turley who went to Mullumbimby High.
Extensively renovated, the contemporary <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-miranda-126139318" target="_blank">four bedroom Miranda home</a> now features a salt water pool in the backyard.
An entertaining terrace wraps around the 1970s home which cost $821,000 in 2011.
McGrath Sutherland Shire agent Katrina Wright has set a September 2 auction date.
Turley, who has been the bowls co-ordinator at Taren Point Bowls Club in recent years, won gold in the men's triples at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.
He won a silver medal four years later at the 2010 Games in Delhi, the same year Duke won a silver medal in the triples.
"On the green, it's pretty fiery, I didn't realise how much sledging goes on," Turley recently noted on the NSW Queensland bowls rivalry.
The couple wed in 2013.
Miranda's median price sits at $1.4 million for four bedroom houses, according to CoreLogic.

A development-approved site in Sydney’s Miranda has been snapped up by Malaysian-based developer BRDB for $12.8 million.
Located at 1-3 University Road, 668A, 668 and 670 Kingsway, Miranda, the north-facing property has a gross floor area of 5,744 sqm.
It is DA-approved for 66 residential apartments.
Knight Frank managed the sale on behalf of a private family.
According to Knight Frank’s Director, Residential Site Sales, NSW Tim Holtsbaum the purchaser had a strong preference for the Sutherland Shire, given its strong fundamentals and location.
Knight Frank’s Head of Asian Markets, Dominic Ong, said Malaysian buyers have traditionally been very active in Melbourne – but this sale could indicate a shift 
"Sydney has mostly received interest from China and Singapore in terms of Asian investment.
"However, we anticipate this could change."
The north-facing site features 2,872 sqm and is DA-approved large town-home-style ground-floor apartments with garden terraces and upper floors enjoying view towards Cronulla and Sydney’s North.
The apartment mix is approved for 27 percent one-bedroom apartments, 71 percent of two-bedroom apartments and 2 percent three-bedroom apartments.

Malaysian developer BRDB buys Miranda apartment site

Galileo Group launched stage two of its residential development Palisade Miranda with underwhelming results.
Less than half of the apartments were sold although CBRE chairman Justin Brown said sales included the penthouse which fetched above $2 million. 
The majority of buyers of the weekend launch were by empty nesters from the Shire, wider Sydney and local investors that saw the value in what Palisade and The Shire offers, he said. 
The weekend launch - contrasted by the stampede at Macquarie Park - followed Palisade Miranda's August offering which also reflected a comparatively subdued sales rate. 
The August offering saw 65 per cent of the 197 apartments on offer finding buyers.
They were priced between $580,000 to $1.5 million. 
Australian developer Galileo Group say the marketing has been met with "success." 
Palisade is an eight-storey, resort-style development designed by KannFinch and UP Architects, with luxury amenities including a 20-metre pool, lush landscaping, outdoor daybeds, private gym and poolside clubhouse for residents to use as a function space.
There's interiors by Neil Bradford Design. 
It is due for completion early 2019.

Galileo's Palisade Miranda falls to secure stampede in the Shire

<html><body>
Galileo Funds' $165 million apartment project Palisade at Miranda in Sydney's south was launched at the weekend. 
But the overall sales rate reflected the reduced demand and increased caution arising from over supply headlines with just 65 per cent of the 197 apartments finding buyers.
They were priced between $580,000 to $1.5 million on Saturday. 
Australian developer Galileo Group advised the launch of their long awaited residential project Palisade Miranda was met with "great success." 
CBRE Chairman Justin Brown even described the response as "overwhelming." 
But gone are the days of the 100 percent Saturday morning sellouts. CRBE had recently advised a 70 percent sales result on launch was the new norm.  
Palisade is an eight-storey, resort-style development designed by KannFinch and UP Architects, with luxury amenities including a 20-metre pool, lush landscaping, outdoor daybeds, private gym and poolside clubhouse for residents to use as a function space.
There's interiors by Neil Bradford Design. 
Paul Marshall, of Galileo, says Miranda has had limited new development over the past decade. 
"This, coupled with the refurbishment of Westfield, has created strong demand from local purchasers," he suggested prior to the weekend launch. 
Existing residents of Sutherland Shire were Palisade's primary target market with its proximity 200 metres from Westfield Miranda and about one kilometre from Miranda station. 
Prices at the University Road, Miranda project start at one beds, 53-57 square metres, $580,000 to $700,000; two beds, 80-92 square metres, $795,000 to $1.05 million; three beds, 101-123 square metres, $1.09 million to $1.5 million.
It is due for completion early 2019.
