<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/golden-age-group">Golden Age Group</a> has unveiled a new benchmark for wellness-led residential design, announcing the transformation of the 1867-built, heritage-listed Maritima House, into a private wellness clubhouse for residents of its flagship bayside community, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/maritima-brighton-47-south-road-brighton-vic-3186">Maritima Brighton</a>. 
&nbsp; 
The repurposing of the historic property into a high-end private wellness clubhouse responds to shifting priorities among homebuyers, with wellbeing now emerging as a key driver in residential real estate. Research from the Global Wellness Institute shows that up to 90 per cent of health outcomes are linked to where and how we live. 
&nbsp; 
According to recent research, 73 per cent of homeowners and renters say health impacts will be a factor in selecting their next home. Buyers now seek environments that encourage holistic wellbeing, with access to lifestyle-enhancing amenities such as yoga rooms, gyms, pools, parks, and community facilities that support connection and active living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140306 project_image_fid=363738] 
&nbsp; 
Designed by award-winning <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/carr-design">Carr</a>, Maritima Brighton’s wellness offering is situated around the historic Maritima House, once a central point of the Xavier Junior School and now approved for adaptive reuse as the Maritima Clubhouse.&nbsp;

The Maritima Clubhouse facilities are centred around a central courtyard and pool and feature indoor and outdoor amenities including:

<ul>
	<li>A yoga and meditation studio</li>
	<li>Communal infrared sauna &amp; steam room</li>
	<li>Cold plunge bath and magnesium pool</li>
	<li>Fully equipped gym</li>
	<li>Outdoor swimming pool</li>
	<li>Lounge areas and pergola with BBQ facilities</li>
	<li>Landscaping with mature heritage-protected trees and drought-tolerant native plantings</li>
</ul>

This resort-style amenity will be exclusively available to residents of Maritima Brighton, creating a space for relaxation, recovery and community connection just moments from the beach. The project’s proximity to local walking paths, recreational trails, sports grounds and parklands further enhances its health-oriented positioning.

“As wellness becomes central to how Australians choose to live, we are embedding it into the fabric of our communities, not simply as amenity, but as infrastructure.” said Damien Hehir, Development Director, Golden Age Group.

“The Maritima Clubhouse reflects this ethos, bringing meaningful wellness infrastructure to an exceptional bayside location.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140306 project_image_fid=363814]

Nearly all 13 land lots in the first release of land parcels at Maritima Brighton sold in the opening weeks. Brighton downsizers made up the majority of purchasers. The overarching purchasing drivers were security and privacy, with Maritima featuring a&nbsp;monitored gated entry, underground parking and discreet integration into Hartley Street’s quiet residential streetscape.

The broader masterplan will feature&nbsp;83 architect-designed townhomes by Carr. Guided by a refined coastal palette, heritage restoration, and carefully considered landscaping, the masterplan is designed to complement the site’s natural features while protecting its legacy and elevating its future.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140306 project_image_fid=363737] 
&nbsp; 
“The design approach at Maritima Brighton is grounded in the idea that wellbeing is shaped by the environments we inhabit every day," Carr Director Richard Beel said.

"By centring the masterplan around the heritage Maritima House and surrounding it with wellness facilities, a green canopy, and walkable connections to the bay, we’ve created a community where architecture, landscape and lifestyle work together to support long-term health, ease of living and meaningful connection."&nbsp;

A 19th-century landmark reimagined as Bayside’s most exclusive wellness centre

Golden Age launches Maritima Brighton as "new wave of wellness real estate" hits Melbourne's Bayside

Boutique Melbourne developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lowe-living">Lowe Living</a> has launched its ultra-luxury <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/maison-savoy-150-esplanade-brighton-vic-3186">Maison Savoy</a> development, a redevelopment of the former Brighton Savoy Hotel on the Esplanade.

Prices range between $3.7 million for the 174 sqm apartments, the just over $16 million for the penthouses that reach 375 sqm.

Maison Savoy occupies a tightly held coastal position offering views of Port Phillip Bay and sitting moments from the iconic Brighton Bathing Boxes, Royal Brighton Yacht Club and Middle Brighton Baths, and a short walk from Church Street’s retail and dining precinct.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140818 project_image_fid=366478]

Lowe Living has brought together a renowned design team: Studio Kennon as architect and interior designer, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/myles-baldwin-design">Myles Baldwin</a> as landscape architect, and Aurora Spa &amp; Bathhouse as the private wellness curator.&nbsp;

The collection comprises a limited selection of two and three-bedroom residences set across two distinct and private buildings that converge around a central oculus with a calming reflective pool.

Visible from above, the garden maintains a constant connection to landscape throughout the development. Cascading climbers soften the architecture, while tree canopies move gently in the sea breeze, introducing light, motion and seasonal change into interior spaces.

Curved glass, honed natural stone, polished plaster, ribbed European clay brickwork and limestone will be used in the build, as well as a restrained palette of natural materials respond to the coastal context.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140818 project_image_fid=366477]

At the heart of Maison Savoy is a private gym and residents-only European-inspired bathhouse, curated by Sorrento’s Aurora Spa &amp; Bathhouse, an amenity rarely seen within a residential setting.&nbsp;

The full-floor wellness offering includes a hydrotherapy pool, salt room, sauna, steam room, cold plunge pool, foot activation zone and a Vichy rainfall bed, one of only a handful in Australia.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140818 project_image_fid=366474]

Each residence will feature state-of-the-art Wolf ovens, cooktops and a combi-microwave oven, integrated wine fridges, concealed butler's pantries, and bathrooms with freestanding baths, double vanities, brushed nickel fixtures and feature glass.

Custom oak veneer joinery and flexible living zones lead to adaptable winter gardens which offer a transitional space with operable glazed windows allowing residents to modulate light, breeze and outlook depending on the season.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140818 project_image_fid=366480]

Emma Lowe, Co-Founder of Lowe Living, said the uncompromising architecture and design of Maison Savoy reflected a new luxury benchmark for considered, lifestyle-driven living.&nbsp;

“Maison Savoy is one of our most curated and refined residential projects to date," Lowe said.

“Maison Savoy is more than a residential address, it is a legacy in the making. Collaborating with such an esteemed architecture and interior designer in Pete Kennon from Studio Kennon to express the level of quiet luxury and refined architecture that is appropriate for such a rare beachfront location was such an important part of reimagining this iconic site.&nbsp;

“Bringing together the likes of Studio Kennon, Myles Baldwin and Aurora Spa &amp; Bathhouse has ensured we are elevating every single element of the project to reflect the enduring nature of the architectural design response."

Lowe Living unveils Maison Savoy in Brighton

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/salter-brothers">Salter Brothers</a>-backed project, now around 70 per cent complete with builder <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/ironside">Ironside</a> on site, is expected to welcome its first residents by October 2026, with new incentives aimed at purchasers preparing for near-term move-in.

The developer is offering a select number of upgrade packages valued at up to $5,000, available on a first-come, first-served basis. These incentives are offered for new purchasers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=358855]

Buyers can choose between two inclusions. The first is a move-in whitegoods package, designed to streamline the transition into a new home by covering key appliances from day one. The second option provides an additional secure basement storage cage, responding to growing demand for flexible storage solutions in apartment living.

The incentive release comes as <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/candela-ivanhoe-40-upper-heidelberg-road-ivanhoe-vic-3079">Candela Ivanhoe</a> moves into its final stages of construction, with more than half of the residences already sold and a buyer profile heavily weighted toward owner-occupiers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357508]

Designed by John and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/kathy-demos">Kathy Demos</a>, Candela comprises a mix of one to four-bedroom apartments and townhouses, with an emphasis on larger floorplans, natural light, and functional storage, features that align closely with the upgrade offering.

Residences have been planned around everyday liveability, with flexible layouts, private living zones, and generous internal proportions that exceed typical apartment benchmarks in the area. Kitchens are fitted with Miele appliances, while the broader development offers exclusive resident amenities, including a residential lounge and rooftop terrace. A ground-floor café and wellness centre are also integrated into the project, designed to foster community connection while serving both residents and the wider neighbourhood.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357511]

Salter Brothers says the project has been shaped to support a range of buyers, from first-home buyers to downsizers to young families and even inter-generational lifestyle, with over 90 per cent of purchasers to date intending to live in their homes rather than invest.

Positioned on Upper Heidelberg Road, Candela sits in the heart of Ivanhoe Village, Ivanhoe Station, and a range of local parks and pre-eminent schools, contributing to a Walk Score of 90. This level of connectivity has underpinned demand from buyers seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle without sacrificing access to established amenity.

Salter Brothers introduces limited $5,000 upgrade packages as Candela Ivanhoe nears completion

Now complete and open, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/time-place">Time &amp; Place</a>'s Queensbridge Building introduces a new way of living in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/southbank-vic-3006">Southbank</a>, where residences, hospitality and culture come together in a fully realised precinct.&nbsp;

The 65-storey tower is already welcoming residents and guests, with its integrated hotel, dining venues and amenity offering activating the building from day one.

Developed by Time &amp; Place and constructed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/hickory">Hickory</a>, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/the-queensbridge-building-southbank-90-queensbridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The Queensbridge Building</a> at 90 Queensbridge Street combines 353 residences with the 188-room Hannah St Hotel, operated by TFE Hotels.&nbsp;

The precinct is already active, with Hannah St Hotel welcoming guests and venues such as Coupette, Bar Hannah and the Carriage Lounge operating across the ground and podium levels. Weekends are seeing strong visitation, reinforcing its role as both a residential address and a broader lifestyle destination.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=360990]

What sets Queensbridge apart is its integration of residential living with a fully operational hotel and hospitality offering, delivering a level of service, activation and convenience rarely seen in Melbourne's apartment market.

Interiors throughout, both in the residential tower and the hotel, were designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/flack-studio">Flack Studio</a>, with architecture by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fraser-partners-0">Fraser &amp; Partners</a>.&nbsp;

The residences balance rough-cut stone, cool concrete and rich timbers against abundant natural light. Floor-to-ceiling windows and open floorplans carry that through into the layout.

Interior designer David Flack has described the hotel as "part grand hotel, part cultural clubhouse," reflecting the project's ambition to balance hospitality, design and community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=362184]

The Queensbridge Clubhouse sits at the heart of the residential offering: lap pools, sauna, steam room, gym, outdoor terraces, private dining rooms and co-working spaces, all bookable through the building's dedicated app. The hotel's wellness amenities extend that offer further, with Hannah St Hotel services available to residents through the Clubhouse.

Time &amp; Place Founder and Director Tim Price said the vision was always to create something more than a residential tower.

"The vision for Queensbridge was to create a building that felt connected to the neighbourhood and to Melbourne itself. It is not just a residential tower, but a place where residents, visitors and the wider community can gather, experience hospitality and enjoy city life together."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=362170]

The National Gallery of Victoria, Arts Centre Melbourne and the Yarra River promenade are within easy walking distance, and Crown Melbourne and the CBD are next door. The Victorian Government's $1.7 billion Melbourne Arts Precinct Transformation is already underway in the surrounding area, which will only add to the precinct's draw over the coming years.

Many of the remaining apartments sit on the upper levels, with sweeping views across Melbourne's CBD skyline, Albert Park and Port Phillip Bay, the floor-to-ceiling windows and open floorplans are what those floors were designed around.

Price said the development was always intended to contribute to the surrounding neighbourhood rather than stand apart from it.

"We set out to create a building that reflects Melbourne's culture and energy. By combining residences, hospitality and shared spaces, Queensbridge becomes more than a place to live. It becomes part of the neighbourhood."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=272109]

Only a limited collection of completed two and three-bedroom residences remain, presenting a rare opportunity to secure a finished home within a design-led precinct and move in immediately.

For Time &amp; Place, the completion of The Queensbridge Building marks the close of a significant chapter in delivery. Looking ahead, early plans are underway for a new 22-storey residential project on Park Street in South Melbourne, comprising approximately 300 apartments. More to come in 2026.

Time &amp; Place's Queensbridge Building presents a fully realised, lived experience. For buyers seeking certainty, design quality and lifestyle, it delivers a precinct already brought to life.

Now complete: Inside Southbank's newest residential and hotel destination

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/candela-ivanhoe-40-upper-heidelberg-road-ivanhoe-vic-3079">Candela Ivanhoe</a>, a limited collection of loft-style residences introduces a housing typology rarely seen in Melbourne’s established north-east.

Designed as double-level homes within a broader apartment development, these residences respond to buyers seeking the spatial separation and flexibility of a townhouse, while retaining the efficiency, connectivity and greater security from apartment living.

Located at 40 Upper Heidelberg Road, Candela is a 58-residence development currently under construction and scheduled for completion this Spring. More than half the project has already sold, with a strong owner-occupier profile shaping the community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357499]

The loft-style offering, exemplified by the four-bedroom ‘Lustre’ residences, reframes apartment living through a clear division of zones across two levels.&nbsp;

The lower floor is anchored by a large open-plan living and dining area, where a full kitchen with Miele appliances, an island bench, and a walk-in pantry sits directly adjacent to the main living space. Timber flooring runs throughout this level, reinforcing the continuity between kitchen, dining, and lounge, while double-glazed windows improve thermal performance and acoustic comfort. Additionally, and a prominent feature of this apartment is its expansive rear glass wall, which measures approximately 5.4 metres in height and 8.5 metres in width, allowing abundant sunlight to illuminate the residence.

The primary living zone connects to an oversized private terrace, designed to accommodate both daily use and larger gatherings. Its scale allows for outdoor dining, children’s play equipment, and flexible seating arrangements, effectively extending the internal living footprint.&nbsp;The master bedroom is also positioned on this level, with direct terrace access, a walk-in robe, and an oversized ensuite that includes a built-in dressing table, establishing a degree of separation from the upper floor bedrooms.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357502]

Upstairs, the layout shifts to a more private configuration. Three additional bedrooms with built-in robes are arranged around a secondary living area, creating a dedicated zone for children or guests. This level also incorporates a study area suitable for a full-width desk, alongside a central bathroom designed as a combined wet area for bath and shower use. A separate powder room on each level supports functionality for larger households.

The decision to split living across two levels is central to how these residences operate. Rather than relying on a single open-plan arrangement, the design introduces multiple living zones that can be used simultaneously without overlap, supporting families, remote work, and multi-generational living within the same footprint.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=364553]

Interior designer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/kathy-demos">Kathy Demos</a> describes the broader design approach as one shaped by natural light and movement through space, noting that “from the atrium to the front door of your apartment… the sun washes the surfaces with light.” This emphasis on daylight is reinforced across the loft residences, where both levels are designed to maximise natural light in living areas and bedrooms, reducing reliance on artificial lighting.

Sustainability measures are integrated at both the building and apartment level. Candela targets an average 7.5-star NatHERS energy rating, supported by double glazing, passive design principles, and a rooftop solar array that contributes to powering communal areas. Water reuse systems and efficient fixtures are also included to reduce long-term consumption.

These residences sit within a broader development that prioritises shared amenity and connectivity. Residents have access to a rooftop terrace, ground-floor lounge, and on-site café, while Ivanhoe Village’s retail, dining, and transport options at your doorstep. A Walk Score of 90 reflects the practicality of the location, particularly for buyers seeking reduced reliance on cars.

Candela has been designed by architect John Demos in collaboration with interior designer Kathy Demos and developer Salter Brothers, with construction led by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/ironside">Ironside</a>. As Demos explains, the intent was to focus on how spaces are experienced day-to-day: “We design to anticipate the feeling you want to have in your home. It’s more about substance than surface.”

Mirvac apartments

Mirvac has firmed up plans for the next stage of Zetland's burgeoning Green Square precinct.

The ambitious $13 billion Green Square redevelopment has been a longstanding collaboration between Mirvac and Landcom, the NSW Government owned property developer, since 2012. Over the last decade they've focused on the 13.7 hectare block of land surrounding the Green Square Train Station, which has seen them already construct hundreds of apartments, extensive food and beverage tenancies, a library, and a primary school.

The latest $315 million plans are a revision on a 2017-approved development application. Proposed are three towers at 960A Bourke Street, two designed by Tzannes Architects and one designed by Bates Smart, both in collaboration with Mirvac's in house design team.

The amalgamated 3,688 sqm block, referred to as Site 7, Site 17 and Site 18, will flank the Green Square central plaza, opposite the Green Square Library and the Green Square Train Station and next door the the award-winning completed residential development Infinity by Crown Group.

<img alt="Mirvac Green Square" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1eb84464-9f8e-4011-ba0b-ff3615062b52" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-10-05%20at%203.17.22%20pm.png?VersionId=CZPBLVddBwqcqI4jv4KaWvbG.FeLeNOO" />

The buildings will rise 13, 18 and 20 storeys.

The 13 and 18-storey buildings, designed by Tzannes, were designed to be&nbsp;complimentary in their form, but display individual identities through differing materials, vertical and horizontal articulation, Tzannes noted in their Design Statement submitted to City of Sydney Council.

The Site 7 tower has been designed with a glazed commercial podium with a residential tower floating above, while Site 17 is a brick apartment building, with "reference to Sydney’s long history of small and medium sized brick residential fl at buildings."

There will be 183 dwellings spread across the two buildings, the majority two-bedrooms apartments. There will also be a handful of two and three-bedroom townhouses.

At the foot of the two Tzannes-designed buildings will be 14 retail spaces.

<img alt="Tzannes Mirvac" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d84ff26f-6b5c-4130-80f6-0c13c4134226" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-10-05%20at%203.21.18%20pm.png?VersionId=goVrkEdtfpSAOhbd5D1qH8R09xrDIOIb" />

Bates Smart has designed the tower, referred to as Site 18, on the smallest section of the site.

That will have just 77 apartments, again heavily weighted towards two-bedrooms (67%).&nbsp;Bates Smart said the change in the apartment mix was due to the evolution of Green Square since they designed the original tower over six years ago.

"Green Square has undergone radical change in recent years as the public domain and community infrastructure envisioned by the Green Square DCP has come to life," the architecture studio wrote in their Design Statement.

"The completion of key community buildings has made for a highly liveable town centre, including; the Green Square Library and Plaza, Community Centre, Gunyama Park Aquatic and Recreation Centre and the Drying Green. Future Improvements including the Green Square Public School and an ever growing retail network will only continue to make the area more desirable.

"This changing context has seen a shift in the market from investor product to larger owner-occupied dwellings which has underpinned the re-thinking of the design of Site 18."

They said the&nbsp;façade approach "contrasts a crisp white frame with a family of ‘cool’ infill elements that provide a calm and elegant backdrop for the staggered primary frame."

<img alt="Bates Smart Mirvac" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9b7a2503-eb7f-4881-b25c-7a72ccf9a070" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-10-05%20at%203.50.34%20pm.png?VersionId=kEP.xfcQi_iD830tne4YbSQ7f5v9Lkem" />

&nbsp;

Mirvac recently topped out three of their Green Square apartment developments,&nbsp;The Frederick, Portman on the Park, and Portman House,&nbsp;which have a combined construction value of over $210 million.

&nbsp;

Over 80% of the apartments are sold, to a mix of owner occupiers, young first home buyers and investors.

<a href="/developers/mirvac" target="_blank">Mirvac</a>&nbsp;CEO Development Stuart Penklis said the completion of the three buildings forms a significant milestone for the ongoing evolution of Green Square from one of the city’s oldest industrial suburbs to Sydney’s first new town centre in more than a century.

"The new community we are delivering in partnership with state and local government at Green Square has already contributed homes for over 1,000 residents, and these three new apartment buildings will see a further 685 residents calling the precinct home by the end of 2023," Penklis said.

When Mirvac complete Green Square they will have delivered more than 1,600 apartments.

First look: Mirvac continue Green Square transformation with three-tower mixed-use development

Leading property developer Mirvac has teamed up with interior designer Brahman Perera to style the resident only spaces at their new Melbourne apartment development, The Albertine.

Brahman Perera, more commonly known as Brem, is behind the interiors of some of Australia's favourite restaurants, including Entrecote in Prahran and Ursula's in Sydney's Paddington.

Working in collaboration with Mirvac Design, Brem has been tasked with styling The Albertine's&nbsp;lobby and concierge area, resident’s Elysian&nbsp;‘private dining’&nbsp;Room, and The Albertine’s Experience Gallery, which provides future residents&nbsp;with a preview of&nbsp;what’s to come.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138659 project_image_fid=218375]

Brem said he wanted&nbsp;to create a layered landscape of new and treasured pieces that allow each space to feel warm and honest, encapsulating a contemporary lived-in feeling, with inflections of affability with locally made and designed furniture, in line with the vision to create a layered life of luxury.

“Throughout &nbsp;The Albertine’s Experience Gallery,&nbsp;there are amazing pitted and charred timber pieces and tables by Bieemele, a furniture maker based in Red Hill, as well as a large custom timber and sand-cast iron dining table from another local designer, Daniel Barbera.

The artwork was selected to embody and represent local artists, with paintings by&nbsp;Eleanor Louise Butt, Stephanie Jook, and Elefteria Vlavianos, Brem's favourite piece is a solid oak sculptural totem by Hugh McCarthy.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138659 project_image_fid=215878]

The $200 million project will home 98 large format one, two and three-bedroom apartments across 15 levels at 31 Queens Lane, a prime 2,323 sqm site just off Albert Park.

It features extensive amenity focussed on&nbsp;health and well-being. The Circadian Club, intended to echo a rejuvenating urban sanctuary, comprises an indoor pool and spa, state-of-the-art gym, yoga and pilates studio and sauna. The Elysian Room will be a residents exclusive dining space on level 10, enjoying sweeping views across Melbourne.

The Albertine marks Mirvac’s third apartment launch announcement in Victoria in six months, following the successful sales launch of Trielle at Yarra’s Edge and Prince &amp; Parade in in Brunswick.

Mirvac is also preparing to launch MEKKO, its collection of highly sustainable apartments at The Fabric, its future-forward masterplanned community in Altona North.

Mirvac’s General Manager of Residential Victoria, Elysa Anderson, said The Albertine would reflect the quality of Mirvac's highly successful apartment projects, The Melburnian on St Kilda Road, and The Eastbourne in East Melbourne.

“Demand for quality, well-designed and constructed apartments remains strong, underpinned by low unemployment, wage growth, the return of overseas migration and scarcity of quality product. We recognise Victoria’s historically low apartment pipeline and remain focused on accelerating our supply of apartments that are built for tomorrow,” Anderson said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138659 project_image_fid=215879]

“The Mirvac difference, as defined by the quality of our builds, design excellence and diverse amenity, is increasingly valued by our purchasers in the current climate.

Anderson said launching The Albertine comes at a time when there is increased appetite from owner-occupiers for lifestyle-focused, well located apartments complete with high-quality amenity.

"Capturing this unmet demand is a significant opportunity for us, particularly with our strong value proposition of delivering exceptionally designed residential apartment buildings in outstanding locations.

“Distinguished by its boutique size, The Albertine is a new residential landmark for Melbourne and Mirvac’s latest prestige offering, following in the footsteps of our legacy apartment buildings in Victoria,” Anderson said.

Early works are expected on site in late 2023.

Mirvac partners with interior designer Brahman Perera on The Albertine, Melbourne apartment development

ASX-listed developer Mirvac has launched the expressions of interest campaign at its latest Melbourne apartment development, Prince &amp; Parade, on a prime park-facing block on the fringe of Brunswick's Princes Park.

The building, designed by Bates Smart in collaboration with Mirvac Design and in landscaping by Jack Merlo, comprises 166 one, two three and four-bedroom apartments.

The striking project is targeting the owner-occupier, particularly local downsizers who currently live in houses or terraces and are starting to see equity build back up in their homes. It's also expected to be popular with affluent young professionals.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4802 project_image_fid=217127]

Mirvac has had parkside success previously when collaborating with Bates Smart at their Fitzroy Gardens development The Eastbourne, which won the 2020 UDIA High Density Development Award. They've also worked together on The Melburnian on St Kilda Rd, which too was a UDIA Award winner.

Prince &amp; Parade has been designed to orient the park, taking advantage of the 100 metre frontage to Park Street. The orientation means that not only will residents benefit from park views through the floor to ceiling glass.

It's been cleverly designed so it reaches a height of nine levels to the north building on Brunswick Road, and five levels on the south-facing building on Park Street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4802 project_image_fid=217110]

The fully electric building features a residents' lounge and dining room, as well as a rooftop terrace with extensive panoramic views of Melbourne.

Mirvac reveal latest Melbourne apartment development, Prince & Parade Brunswick

Mirvac has officially commenced construction at their $2 billion revitalization of Sydney's Harbourside mixed-use precinct on Darling Harbour.

The precinct, which is replacing the tired Harbourside Shopping Centre, will&nbsp;deliver a critical piece of Sydney’s $15 billion Western Harbour rejuvenation that has been underway since the completion of the International Convention Centre.

Due for completion from 2026, the new Harbourside precinct will reimagine the Darling Harbour waterfront for the 21st century, reconnect with the people and places of <a href="/developments/pyrmont-nsw-2009">Pyrmont</a>, and create a network of new public spaces that seamlessly bring together community, visitors, residents, and workers.

The redevelopment proposal is also expected to deliver around 265 apartments, offering housing choice and diversity on the fringe of the <a href="/developments/sydney-nsw">Sydney CBD</a>, and make <a href="/developments/sydney-nsw-2000">Darling Harbour</a> a more attractive and vibrant place to live, work, and visit.

Mirvac’s CEO Development Stuart Penklis said the team had been working with the NSW Government since 2016.

“We have been on a journey to truly understand this site, starting with international group Snohetta partnering with Hassell and Djinjama winning the international design competition inspired by the natural landforms of Sydney Harbour," Penklis said.

"Our cultural commitment continues as we work with the community, and partner with Bila Heritage to continue to bring Harbourside to life in a way that is truly connected to Country.

“Sites like this are incredibly rare when you consider the proximity to the CBD, the existing and future pedestrian linkages, access to public transport and other critical infrastructure. We are proud to be starting the development at Harbourside that will elevate this precinct as a legacy Sydney destination and a place to live, work, shop and enjoy.”

Subject to final approvals, the new Harbourside project deliver 10,000 sqm of public open space, including a new waterfront with restaurants, bars, national and international retailers, a new 3,500 square metre park and connections from Pyrmont to the waterfront, including $50 million in public domain funding and $7 million in public art and activation.

Around 2,000 construction jobs will be created as part of the development, and 4,500 jobs on completion.

"This redevelopment demonstrates Mirvac’s integrated design, development and construction capabilities and our ability to partner with Government to unlock large scale complex mixed-use projects," Penklis added.

Mirvac’s CEO Development Stuart Penklis was joined at the official commencement event by Mirvac Group CEO &amp;&nbsp; Managing Director Campbell Hanan, NSW Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, the Honourable Paul Scully MP, Acting CEO Placemaking NSW Susan Lee, and other guests, who marked the occasion by turning the first sod onsite.

Scully said the development is a "great example of the Minns Government working with the private sector to deliver world-class amenities to the people of NSW."

The redevelopment proposal is also expected to deliver around 265 apartments, offering housing choice and diversity on the fringe of the Sydney CBD

Mirvac breaks ground at $2 billion Darling Harbour mixed-use precinct

Mirvac has been developing residential property across Australia for over five decades.

A huge focus in the last decade has been sustainability, which they've championed through their This Changes Everything initiative, while most recently the ASX-listed developer has diversified their portfolio by developing in the build to rent sector.

A key area of focus for Mirvac in recent years is how the end user will not only enjoy their apartment, but how much the development can cater for a resident's lifestyle.

Their latest apartment tower, Trielle at Yarra's Edge, the most highly coveted and exclusive residential tower in Mirvac's $1.2 billion masterplan on the Docklands waterfront, is arguably Mirvac's most facility-fuelled project to date.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=212014]

Residents technically wouldn't have to leave the tower, with extensive facilities for both work and play.

There's are two spaces dedicated to working from home, The Biblioteca and The Mills Place Work From Home Pods. The Biblioteca, a library designed for peaceful reading and quiet work, occupies a quiet corner of Trielle overlooking the Promenade Grove.

The Mills Place Work From Home Pods are located on the ground floor and cater for further work, with dedicated office spaces and work pods, both available to book for either a few hours or a full day.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=211500]

That's the 9-5 covered, and there's even more amenity for outside of work hours, or even a lunchtime given they can be just a lift away from the office.

Arguably the most impressive inclusion on Trielle's long amenity list is The Oasis Wellness Club, a verdant urban rainforest with a trickling stream located seven stories above the Yarra's Edge promenade.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=211523]

Designed in collaboration with renowned luxury spa expert Naomi Gregory, The Oasis offers a blissful, Scandinavian-inspired wellness club.

Residents can regularly indulge in rejuvenating treatments such as facials, massages, and hydrotherapy, providing a tranquil and resort-like atmosphere.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=216205]

Part of The Oasis is a biophilic gym, complete with state-of-the-art equipment, a yoga and pilates room, and a sauna.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=216206]

Trielle also caters for post-work vibes. One of the most indulgent areas for this is&nbsp;The Salone Piano Bar.

The intimate space, with richly textured interiors and a north-facing riverfront view, sits just 14 metres from the river's edge and invites residents to unwind while listening to the sounds of a self-playing piano.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=212015]

Adjacent to the Piano Lounge is the Chef's Table dining room, which sets the stage for elegant dinner parties.

It features a striking natural stone table and an impressive wine fridge. Residents can book the space through the dedicated concierge service.

A theatre room, golf simulator, a sunken fire pit area, and even a dedicated dog wash bay, complete the amenity.

How Mirvac is championing resident amenity at Trielle apartments in Melbourne's Yarra's Edge precinct

Mirvac has revealed its latest prestige apartment offering, The Albertine, their next instalment of their high-end developments across Melbourne.

The 2,323 sqm site at 31 Queens Lane, located in the city-fringe St Kilda Road precinct, was acquired by Mirvac in mid-2022 with permit approval.

The $200 million project will see around 100 large-format one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments across 15 storeys. Like Mirvac's portfolio, particularly across their Sydney and Melbourne projects, there's also a high level of amenity for residents.

The sales campaign is set to launch in September.

The Albertine marks Mirvac’s third apartment launch announcement in Victoria in six months, following the successful sales launch of Trielle at Yarra’s Edge and recently announced permit approval of 699 Park Street in Brunswick, illustrating Mirvac’s continued confidence in the Victorian apartment market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138659 project_image_fid=215890]

Mirvac is also preparing to launch MEKKO, its collection of highly sustainable apartments at The Fabric, its future-forward masterplanned community in Altona North.

Mirvac’s General Manager of Residential Victoria, Elysa Anderson, said The Albertine would reflect the quality of the Group’s highly successful apartment projects, The Melburnian on St Kilda Road, and The Eastbourne in East Melbourne.

“Demand for quality, well-designed and constructed apartments remains strong, underpinned by low unemployment, wage growth, the return of overseas migration and scarcity of quality product," Anderson said.

"We recognise Victoria’s historically low apartment pipeline and remain focused on accelerating our supply of apartments that are built for tomorrow.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138659 project_image_fid=215869]

“The Mirvac difference, as defined by the quality of our builds, design excellence and diverse amenity, is increasingly valued by our purchasers in the current climate."

Anderson says the launch comes&nbsp;at a time when they are seeing increased appetite from owner-occupiers for lifestyle-focused, well located apartments complete with high-quality amenity.

"Capturing this unmet demand is a significant opportunity for us, particularly with our strong value proposition of delivering exceptionally designed residential apartment buildings in outstanding locations.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138659 project_image_fid=215874]

“Distinguished by its boutique size, The Albertine is a new residential landmark for Melbourne and Mirvac’s latest prestige offering, following in the footsteps of our legacy apartment buildings in Victoria."

Mirvac's award-winning design team handled the interiors, while Plus Architecture created a striking facade with sweeping curves and organic forms.

The resident facilities are split across different levels. The Circadian Club will feature an&nbsp;indoor pool and spa, state-of-the-art gym, yoga and pilates studio and sauna, while the&nbsp;Elysian Room on level 10 will be a residents exclusive dining space with sweeping views across Melbourne.

The Cumulus Residences will be located across levels 13 and 14 and have been designed to capture extensive views across the city skyline, Albert Park Lake and Port Phillip Bay through floor-to-ceiling windows.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138659 project_image_fid=215879]

Future-ready by design following Mirvac’s amendments to the original permit approval, The Albertine will be fully electric with an average NatHERS energy efficiency rating of 7 stars.

Additional environmentally sustainable design (ESD) features will include water-efficient fittings, fixtures and appliances; communal electric vehicle charging stations; capacity for all parking spaces to upgrade to their own electric vehicle charging point; rainwater tanks and native planting species within the curated landscapes.

“In quintessential Mirvac style, The Albertine is designed to be a future-led and quality-focused building, with careful consideration given to sustainability, in line with our commitment to making a positive environmental impact,” Anderson added.

The Albertine will join Mirvac’s $6.8 billion Victorian residential development pipeline, which includes future planned apartment projects at 699 Park Street alongside Princes Hill, The Fabric at Altona North and Trielle at Yarra’s Edge; following on from the successful completion of iconic apartments at FORME, Folia and Phoenix at Apartments of Tullamore in Doncaster; Voyager at Yarra’s Edge and The Eastbourne’s luxury residences in East Melbourne.

Early construction works are anticipated to commence in late 2023.

Mirvac reveal The Albertine in St Kilda Road precinct

The ASX-listed Mirvac has officially topped out the main structures of three residential apartment buildings at Green Square in Sydney’s Zetland, signalling the near completion of 311 new homes as part of one of the largest urban renewal projects in Australia.

They simultaneously topped out&nbsp;The Frederick, Portman on the Park, and Portman House,&nbsp;which have a combined construction value of over $210 million.

Over 80% of the apartments are already sold, to a mix of owner occupiers, young first home buyers and investors.

Mirvac CEO Development Stuart Penklis said the completion of the three buildings forms a significant milestone for the ongoing evolution of Green Square from one of the city’s oldest industrial suburbs to Sydney’s first new town centre in more than a century.

"The new community we are delivering in partnership with state and local government at Green Square has already contributed homes for over 1,000 residents, and these three new apartment buildings will see a further 685 residents calling the precinct home by the end of 2023," Penklis said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109956 project_image_fid=186239]

“On completion, Mirvac will deliver more than 1,600 apartments in Green Square, along with state-of- the-art office and vibrant retail spaces, and substantial public spaces within the Green Square Town Centre.

"The precinct is close to public transportation, healthcare, education, and community services and promotes social inclusion and diversity and fosters a sense of community among its residents."

Penklis said&nbsp;Green Square is a great example of government and industry coming together to not only generate more places close to the city for Sydney-siders to call home, but also foster a community that will meet the needs of its residents for years to come.

"This commitment could not be more important as we play our part in resolving the most significant housing crisis of our generation.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30049 project_image_fid=162884]

Green Square by Mirvac has been coming to life for over nine years, and the precinct is now home to a library and Civic Plaza, as well as the 6,200 sqm Drying Green, Gunyama Park Aquatic and Recreation Centre, Green Square train station, Joynton Avenue Creative Centre, Goodstart Waranara Early Education Centre and over 40 parks.

The Green Square Public School, which will cater to 600 primary students, commenced construction in August 2022.

Landcom, the NSW Government's land and property development organisation, and Mirvac began working together on the Green Square urban renewal project in 2012. In October 2020 Mirvac began acquiring Landcom’s ownership of the future stages of Green Square Town Centre.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100811 project_image_fid=162907]

Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore, said the $13 billion Green Square precinct renewal was one of the City’s greatest challenges, but also one of their greatest successes. By 2030, it will have 70,000 residents and 22,000 workers and will still be growing.

“Safe, secure and affordable housing for essential workers and for those on low and very low incomes is essential for a cohesive and economically successful city," Moore said.

“Mirvac’s Green Square mixed-use apartment complex is the result of a design competition which resulted in four buildings containing more than 300 homes and retail spaces and a contribution to affordable housing."

The Frederick is the tallest of the trio of buildings at 23 levels. That has been designed by Smart Design Studio in collaboration with Mirvac Design and will home 151 apartments with views of the Sydney CBD.&nbsp; It is also home to a resident only Business Studio, a Wellness Studio, and Sky Lounge, a bookable private dining space exclusive for residents and their guests.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109956 project_image_fid=186227]

The Portman Collection comprises Portman on the Park and Portman House and was designed by certified carbon neutral architectural practice CO-AP in collaboration with Mirvac Design.

Portman on the Park includes 116 apartments, many with dual aspect views of Sydney’s CBD and the Drying Green, which maximise the free flow of air and capture natural light. Portman House is a boutique offering of 44 apartments across 12 levels, just four apartments per floor.

Mirvac has also started construction on the nearby Portman St Terraces, designed in collaboration with Smart Design Studio.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100811 project_image_fid=162900]

Drawing inspiration from the surrounding traditional Victorian terraces, these seven, contemporary spacious homes feature open plan living, four bedrooms, rooftop entertaining deck, courtyards and flexible family room.

Mirvac CEO Development Stuart Penklis said the completion of the three buildings forms a significant milestone for the ongoing evolution of Green Square from one of the city’s oldest industrial suburbs to Sydney’s first new town centre in more than a century.

Mirvac tops out three Green Square apartment projects

Mirvac has received planning approval for its $280 million all electric apartment development alongside Princes Hill in Melbourne's Princes Park Precinct in Brunswick.

The project, 699 Park Street, will bring a much needed 166 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, penthouses, and terraces, to the undersupplied Melbourne apartment market.&nbsp;

Mirvac are already preparing to kick off demolition on the 6,500 sqm site which they secured in mid-2021 from JWLand.

Mirvac’s General Manager for Residential Victoria, Elysa Anderson, said Mirvac remains focused on delivering much needed, high quality and well-designed housing options in prime inner-city locations to address the shortage of new homes.

“The fundamentals that drive residential demand remain strong – low unemployment, wages growth, the return of overseas migration and scarcity of quality product – so the timing is right for us to prepare to launch another highly anticipated apartment project," Anderson said.

“The planning approval for this site demonstrates the strength of Mirvac’s brand and ability to deliver in the current market, coupled with prospective purchasers’ ongoing appetite for premium, lifestyle-focused apartments.

“Responding to unmet demand in the owner-occupier apartment market is a significant opportunity for us, particularly with our unique and strong value proposition of an outstanding location coupled with exceptionally designed product– and we are seeing this at our Tullamore and Yarra’s Edge communities, with FORME at Tullamore over 95 per cent sold and only a handful of apartments remaining for sale in Voyager at Yarra’s Edge."

Formerly a hotel, the project features around 100 metres of frontage to Princes Park, providing uninterrupted park and city views, and is within walking distance to Melbourne’s inner-north suburbs, as well as the University of Melbourne and Royal Melbourne Hospital precinct.

699 Park Street will mark Mirvac’s third collaboration with design practice, Bates Smart, joining The Melburnian (2011) and The Eastbourne (2019) in the duo’s multi-award-winning developments.

The 699 Park Street announcement follows the recent successful launch of Trielle at Yarra’s Edge, as well as the upcoming launch of 31 Queens Lane overlooking Albert Park, highlighting the Group’s continued confidence in Victoria.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=211502]

“We have $3.7 billion invested in Victoria, across our apartments, masterplanned communities, retail, office and build to rent portfolios in locations around Melbourne," Anderson added.

"The Mirvac difference, underpinned by the quality of our builds, our design excellence and extensive amenity, is increasingly valued by our purchasers in the current climate.

“This is reflected in the strong levels of repeat purchasers at our projects, and is a testament to the recognition of our brand, not to mention a competitive advantage in the current market and our 50 year track record of delivering exceptional living experiences across Australia.”

699 Park Street will join Mirvac’s $6.8 billion Victorian residential development pipeline, which includes future planned apartment projects at 31 Queens Lane in Albert Park, The Fabric at Altona North and Trielle at Yarra’s Edge; following on from the successful completion of iconic apartments at FORME, Folia and Phoenix at Apartments of Tullamore in Doncaster; and The Eastbourne’s luxury residences in East Melbourne.
