A Moroccan-bathhouse residential tower has been unveiled for Budds Beach, with Australian developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/homecorp">Homecorp</a> announcing plans for a $260 million resort-style project in one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held waterfront precincts.

A development application has been submitted to the Gold Coast City Council for a 27-storey tower at 8-10 Acacia Avenue and 25-27 Oak Avenue, Surfers Paradise, marking one of the few new large-scale residential projects proposed for the precinct in more than a decade.

The project will comprise 156 two- and three-bedroom residences, anchored by a residents-only Moroccan spa-inspired wellness sanctuary featuring private treatment rooms, a traditional Nordic sauna and steam room, hot and cold plunge pools and a curated juice bar. There will also be a resort-style rooftop precinct, complete with a heated infinity pool and spa, a residents’ lounge with a private kitchen and bar, a contemporary fitness centre with a yoga and Pilates studio, and outdoor BBQ areas with entertaining lounges.

"At Homecorp, we are driven by the pursuit of better - challenging expectations, thinking bigger and shaping communities that leave a lasting legacy," said Ron Bakir, CEO and Founder of Homecorp.

"This project draws on our experience and expertise to take what the market has been craving to the next level - a home that nurtures wellness, calms the mind and lifts the everyday stresses away. A home is more than a place you live, it’s where you rest, reset and find balance."

&nbsp;

Bakir says what sets the location&nbsp;apart is its rare, tightly held nature within one of the Gold Coast’s most vibrant lifestyle and entertainment precincts, yet quietly tucked away in a peaceful, beachside enclave.

"Budds Beach has remained exceptionally limited in supply over the past decade and this site presented an unmatched opportunity to deliver something truly special to both Surfers Paradise and the Gold Coast.”

Conveniently connected to major roads and the G:link, residents will enjoy easy access to Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach and Burleigh Heads, while still being just minutes from the city’s most iconic beaches and the Broadwater’s ‘golden mile’.

The 2130 sqm site acquisition adds to Homecorp’s growing Gold Coast multi-storey portfolio on the Gold Coast, following the success of Eve Residences in Labrador upon its completion in November 2024. In 2025, Eve earned multiple national accolades and went on to win ‘Best Oceanview Condo Development’ in the Asia Pacific region at the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards Grand Final, outperforming entries from more than 13 prestigious international markets.

The company also commenced construction last year on the highly anticipated $250 million second stage of Cienna Varsity Ridge, set to deliver 289 residences by 2027 in the heart of Varsity Lakes, and launched the $210 million Florence Residences along Surfers Paradise’s Monte Carlo Avenue to the market, with construction kicking off last month.

"The property market is constantly evolving, particularly here on the Gold Coast, which continues to outperform national trends thanks to its unmatched lifestyle, natural beauty and growing infrastructure, especially ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympics. We are proud to be adding more homes to the skyline, creating spaces that are not only designed for liveability but also nurture wellness within. They are homes that are built to last a lifetime and beyond," concluded Mr Bakir.

The project is set to launch to the market later this year.

Homecorp lodges plans for $260 million Moroccan bathhouse-inspired tower in Budds Beach

What began as a leap of faith in the 1970s has evolved into one of the Gold Co​ast's most enduring development success stories. Raptis, now led by second-generation developer Evan Raptis, continues to shape the region's skyline four decades after patriarch Jim Raptis first ventured north from Sy​dney.

Jim Raptis began developing in Sy​dney in his 20s under the guidance of a seasoned mentor. After several successful joint ventures, he sensed untapped potential on the Gold Coast and made the bold decision to relocate. That instinct proved prescient, the Raptis family has contributed thousands of apartments to what was once purely a tourist destination and is now recognised as Australia's lifestyle capital.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101620 project_image_fid=361818]

With decades of experience navigating the complex Gold Coast development landscape, Raptis maintains fully vertical integration, from site acquisition and construction through to marketing and sales strategies. This comprehensive approach has allowed the company to weather multiple market cycles and emerge well-positioned for the region's continued growth.

"We've seen the region change drastically over the last two decades, with that change accelerating in the last five years," says Evan Raptis. "The Gold Coast is becoming unrecognisable. There are some exciting projects happening up and down the coast. The Spit is being talked about as Australia's version of Monaco, with billions in development underway."

Unlike the volatile pre-GFC years that rocked the Gold Coast market, Raptis believes the region has matured considerably. "Demand remains strong, but the market is now settled and stable."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101620 project_image_fid=361823]

While the company recently completed Pearl Main Beach, an 84-apartment development just 53 steps from the sand, Broadbeach has truly been home for the Raptis family.

"There's nothing Broadbeach doesn't have," Raptis says. "There's always a new café or restaurant coming into the neighbourhood, and the redevelopment of the Niecon Plaza, bringing nearly 5,500 square metres of retail, dining and office space, will only elevate Broadbeach even further."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101620 project_image_fid=357483]

The suburb has reached what Raptis describes as a "settled phase" of its evolution, with owner-occupiers and repeat visitors increasingly shaping demand rather than traditional investors.

The company's latest Broadbeach project, Sterling, is now constructed to level 22 and scheduled for handover in June 2026. With approximately 70 per cent of apartments already sold ahead of completion, the development has attracted a distinct buyer profile.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101620 project_image_fid=361821]

"We're seeing significant interest from lock-up-and-leave buyers and downsizers," Raptis explains. "Some use the apartments over Easter or Christmas, while others come down from Brisbane on weekends. They aren't your typical 'investors' who will put the apartments up for permanent rental."

Sterling offers prospective buyers a rare advantage: fully completed display apartments showcasing several two- and three-bedroom configurations, something few off-the-plan developments can provide.

With another Broadbeach project in the pipeline, Raptis emphasises that the next chapter is about maintaining standards rather than pursuing growth at any cost.

"We've been building for over four decades, and our track record matters. Our focus remains the same: deliver what we build, stay close to the details, and delivering a finished product that hopefully exceeds our clients' expectations."

It’s all in the family: Four decades later, Raptis continues to shape the Gold Coast skyline

JWLand has completed the final residential stage of its Lyneham precinct, Northbourne Village, with De Burgh now welcoming residents who have begun settling into their new homes.

A selection of the 350 studio, one, two, and three-bedroom apartments remains available within the two-building <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/de-burgh-at-northbourne-village-40-de-burgh-street-lyneham-act-2602">De Burgh</a>, which occupies a prominent position along Northbourne Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=359152]

The apartments at De Burgh have been configured to prioritise natural light, privacy, and usable outdoor space, with ground-floor homes featuring private courtyards and upper-level apartments opening to generous balconies. Double-glazed windows are standard across the development, supporting acoustic comfort and improved energy performance.

Kitchens are fitted with Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, while all residences include ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning integrated with app-based controls, allowing residents to manage lighting and climate remotely. These inclusions reflect a broader focus on durability, efficiency, and everyday functionality rather than short-term finishes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=356280]

Shared amenity is delivered through a resident gym, rooftop garden, lounge spaces, parcel lockers, and landscaped communal areas that connect De Burgh to the wider Northbourne Village environment.

Nick Babic, Marketing Project Manager at JWLand, said the completion of De Burgh gives buyers a level of certainty that off-the-plan purchases cannot always provide.

“There’s no need to wait or play guessing games. You can come and see the spaces firsthand, and genuinely picture yourself living there today. That includes not only the apartments, but the amenities as well. It’s easy to imagine enjoying a coffee in the central courtyard or spending time with other residents in the lounge.”

The completed status of the project aligns with strong buyer demand for finished stock, particularly among first home buyers, young professionals, and downsizers seeking certainty around timing and cost.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=356282]

With pricing ranging from $463,000 to $1.588 million, much of the offering sits within reach of buyers looking to enter the Inner North apartment market.

De Burgh’s location underpins its buyer appeal, positioned approximately 600 metres from the light rail and three kilometres from Canberra’s CBD, with direct access to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/lyneham-act-2602">Lyneham</a> wetlands, Sullivan’s Creek parkland, and the established hospitality and retail precincts of Lyneham and Dickson.

Canberra's newest apartment building: JWLand completes De Burgh at Northbourne Village

One of Victoria’s largest private developers, Central Equity, has commenced construction on Palmera, its $1 billion luxury residential development at Northcliffe on the Gold Coast, appointing Tier 1 builder Multiplex to deliver the project.

The fast-track to construction is being undertaken ahead of Central Equity officially launching the project to market.

The company says the move reflects its confidence in both the calibre of its offering and the Gold Coast’s long-term fundamentals, underpinned by one of Australia’s strongest growing economies, continued population growth and sustained infrastructure investment.

A diversifying employment base across health, education, professional services and tourism has helped insulate the local economy from volatility, while limited new supply in established coastal locations continues to support demand from owner-occupiers and downsizers seeking long-term lifestyle value.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/palmera-residences-18-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Palmera</a> is being constructed in the prestigious Northcliffe residential neighbourhood on an expansive 3,239 sqm site. It is located at 18 Garfield Terrace near the Northcliffe Surf Life Saving Club and the patrolled Northcliffe surf beach, situated between Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=361249]

Offering a mix of spacious three-bedroom apartments over 52 levels, Palmera is designed to deliver a full suite of premium residences to buyers looking for the ultimate coastal lifestyle that the Gold Coast has to offer.

The project’s premium apartments will deliver northern views across the Surfers Paradise beachfront and extending all the way around to Burleigh Heads and beyond.

Palmera will be crowned by its top four levels, being a limited collection of penthouses and skyhomes that further elevate the residential offering through generous proportions and uninterrupted panoramic views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=361246]

The appointment of Multiplex as the builder represents a major milestone for Palmera and cements Central Equity’s commitment to the Gold Coast after delivering more than 85 residential projects over the past four decades. It will be the 20th project collaboration between Central Equity and Multiplex.

“The commencement of construction at Palmera marks a major milestone for the project, with Tier 1 builder Multiplex appointed to deliver the development in the highly sought-after Northcliffe residential precinct on the Gold Coast,” said Central Equity Executive Director Karl Kutner.

“Our commitment to commence immediate construction is in line with our resounding confidence in the Gold Coast over the long term. The city has evolved and proven to be one of Australia’s most dynamic and resilient property markets in recent years.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=361250]

Multiplex, one of Australia’s largest builders, has been shaping skylines and delivering iconic projects around the world since 1962. In that time, the Tier 1 global contractor has delivered projects with a combined value of more than US$130 billion.

“Having worked with Multiplex on many previous developments, we are pleased to be extending our relationship further with Palmera,” Kutner added.

“Multiplex brings an unparalleled depth of experience to ensure that Palmera fulfils the vision we have laid out for this strategic location and is delivered to the highest standards,” he said.

Multiplex Regional Managing Director Michael Sinclair said Multiplex was delighted to be aligning with Central Equity yet again.

“Central Equity is creating a stunning new addition to the Gold Coast skyline, and we look forward to bringing their vision to life with a world-class construction team and program. We are proud to be working alongside Central Equity on our 20th project together.”

Palmera has been designed by Marchese Partners, with interiors by DBI.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=361247]

Residents will have private access to extensive, state-of-the-art amenities, featuring two large pools including a generously scaled, family-friendly pool with safe shallow zones, and a 25-metre lap pool facing the western side, ensuring maximum sunlight all day.

Also available exclusively to residents is a sauna, magnesium pool, yoga studio, expansive gym, resident lounge, outdoor BBQ and dining areas. Residents will also be welcomed by concierge and luxurious entry foyer.

Located on Garfield Terrace in Northcliffe, Palmera enjoys a prime coastal position just moments from the patrolled Northcliffe beach and the G:link light rail, providing effortless connectivity along the Gold Coast’s beachfront suburbs, linking the Gold Coast University Hospital in the north with Nobby beach and Burleigh Heads to the south once the extension completes later this year.

Central Equity unveils Palmera on Garfield Terrace, Surfers Paradise

The idea of a low-maintenance forever home located close to the city were the two driving factors behind a recent purchaser’s journey at Murcia, the under-construction East Brisbane apartment development by Sarazin.

Last year, Lois and her husband purchased a two-bedroom plus multi-purpose room (MPR) apartment in the new building, which is being constructed by Hutchinson Builders and is on track for completion in late-2027.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135094 project_image_fid=341638]

The couple’s number one priority was to remain within easy commuting distance of the city for work. Murcia is positioned alongside the new Cross River Rail, with Woolloongabba Station just 300 metres from the front door.

They are currently living in their Annerley unit, which they have owned for several years, after recently moving out of their inner-city apartment, located on the very same street as Murcia.

“We had watched the development for a long time, and when construction activity began, that’s when we felt confident to buy,” Lois said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135094 project_image_fid=356540]

The timing also made sense. By moving back into their Annerley unit, they are able to save money ahead of settlement, while looking forward to returning closer to the city once Murcia is complete.

“We see Murcia as a forever home, as opposed to an investment, or something we need to appreciate massively in value and move on from in a few years,” Lois said.

“We secured an apartment large enough to grow a family, so we’re expecting to call Murcia home for a very long time.”

The couple plan to grow their family, but without the added maintenance demands of owning a standalone house further from the city. Working with Sarazin and architect HAL, they were able to slightly tweak the floorplan, converting the two-bedroom plus MPR layout into a functional three-bedroom apartment.

An added bonus was the recently revised communal space plans, which now incorporate a dedicated working-from-home area, complete with work pods, and shared desks.

“It means the third bedroom doesn’t have to become a part-time office and part-time bedroom,” Lois said, adding that residents have the benefit of working from home without actually being inside their apartment.

The rooftop wellness amenity was another standout compared to living in an established complex or a house. A signature feature of Sarazin developments, the rooftop will include a full gym, hot and cold plunge pools, a steam room and sauna, and a hotel-style pool with cabanas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135094 project_image_fid=214682]

Buyer journeys can vary significantly, from purchasing in the established market to buying new, or choosing between houses and apartments. Lois said they knew immediately that buying off the plan was right for them.

“We wanted something new, with less maintenance, and we weren’t quite ready to make the full financial leap straight away. The timing and deposit structure gave us the flexibility we needed.”

Designed by HAL Architects and inspired by the Spanish city of Murcia, the development takes a Mediterranean-influenced approach to architecture and landscaping, with a strong emphasis on shared spaces.

“The design feels considered, the amenities support how we actually live, and the location keeps us connected to the city without feeling right in the middle of it.”

Murcia is Sarazin’s second development in the area, following the completion of Silk One just up the road in 2022. They have several more projects coming to market in Woolloongabba ahead of the 2032 Brisbane Summer Olympics.

New Developments

Opportunities such as Lila, the newest development of just two villas in the heart of Mermaid Beach, don't come around often.

The local Gold Coast developer, Revilo Projects, has created a duplex at 5 Petrel Avenue, just 200 metres from the ocean and on the southern edge of the core Nobby Beach precinct.

BDA Architects has teamed up with Beck Space Interiors to deliver two&nbsp;four-bedroom dwellings over three levels.

Lila villas offer a generous 300 sqm of living space, a private pool, lift, built-in bar and butler's kitchen, as well as bespoke Italian cabinetry, V-Zug appliances, natural stone and an instantly recognisable facade.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112742 project_image_fid=211125]

Jayde Pezet of Pezet Matheson says villa living allows people to live in a Triple-A Grade location, at a price that still represents solid value.

"House prices have skyrocketed on the Gold Coast, and developers are offering villas and luxury townhouses that still offer house-sized living spaces over several levels," Pezet says.

The architecture is modern and hard-lined. Comprising a timeless material palette of concrete, glass and timber off set by a undulating screen to create a rich and layered effect.

The ground level includes a double-car garage, storage, laundry, powder room and rumpus room with bi-fold doors opening to the east onto the combined outdoor living, garden court and pool area at the rear.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112742 project_image_fid=211119]

Level one homes a multi-purpose room, with open-plan kitchen, living and dining area with a pantry and powder room. Upstairs are level two are the bedrooms of the residences with two bedrooms sharing a bathroom and the master bedroom including an ensuite, along with a designer wardrobe.

Revilo Projects is led by local developer Paul Dolso.

"Understanding the Gold Coast like the back of our hands is what allows us to deliver properties that capitalise on every opportunity afforded by our world class postcode, and give local residents a place they are proud to call their own," Dolso says.

Revilo are also developing next door, turning 3 Petrel Avenue in to a boutique block of just three whole floor apartments.

<img alt="Petrel" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8248831b-eafc-427a-8bcf-b5fcf414f164" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-03-14%20at%2012.42.05%20pm.png?VersionId=50T5XGUpzcVkVCZc1ipenBWp_HPhPYME" />

There will be two three-bedroom apartments along with one four-bedroom apartment.

Also designed by BDA Architects, the apartments have been designed with&nbsp;a soft colour palette, white batten screening, timber soffits and natural stone, creating a coastal facade offset by the subtle curves of the built form.

Private open spaces have been incorporated for each apartment, with the ground floor apartment taking advantage of a large podium terrace, and the upper two apartments with the luxury of private roof top terraces.

Lila villas offer a generous 300 sqm of living space, a private pool, lift, built-in bar and butler's kitchen, as well as bespoke Italian cabinetry, V-Zug appliances, natural stone and an instantly recognisable facade

The longtime local South East Queensland home builder turned apartment developer Choice Homes has broken ground at its $100 million Coomera apartment complex, Oakey Bay.

FKG Group is constructing the first stage of the three-tower&nbsp;project within the Coomera Marine Precinct, which will see 54 apartments created in Riverside Tower. Around 90 per cent of stage one are under contract, from a mix of local and interstate buyers.

The build will take place across three stages, creating over 167 apartments upon completion, along with providing a boost for employment in the region for trades, supplier and local businesses for the projected, next three to four years.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108412 project_image_fid=201784]

Completion has been slated for mid-2023 for the first tower, with remaining apartments priced from $527,000.

Choice Homes Group Director&nbsp;Troy Knight&nbsp;says the company had engaged with several builders in a selection process, which eventually identified FKG as the ideal contractor to meet the demand for housing in the northern end of the Coast.

&ldquo;Choice has extensive experience building smaller-scale apartment projects, which have won awards, but thought it best to engage a well-reputed leading contractor for something of this size as it will be the largest in the area,&rdquo; Knight says.

&ldquo;FKG have a long history in the industry and are known for delivering outstanding building and engineering projects across Queensland, NSW, and the Northern Territory, so are well equipped to deliver what we&rsquo;re after.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108412 project_image_fid=201805]

Oakey Bay will comprise a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments, averaging 110 sqm in size, set amid a resort-style environment which will home two pools, a tennis court, barbecue facilities, and a gym.

According to a recent report by Urbis, demand for homes, including high-density accommodation, has outstripped the existing property market.

The report identified a shortage of land has led to a surge in apartment sales across the Gold Coast - of up to 97 per cent in 2021 &ndash; reinforcing the decision for the developers on the location and timing of the project.

The family-owned developers won&nbsp;the 2018 Housing Industry Association Apartment Complex&nbsp;of the Year Award for its 101 Pohlman Street development in Southport.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=108412]

The now national apartment developers,&nbsp;Sun Property Group, are heading back to Sydney’s Lower North Shore for their latest residential project, with plans submitted for a nearly 1600 sqm site in Mosman.

The group has previously developed in the area, with their award-winning central junction apartments, Ashton - which were named in honour of artist and teacher Julian Ashton – also in Mosman, along with projects across Cremorne, Lane Cove and Willoughby.

SPG’s latest acquisition at 64-66 Spit Road is the home of the old Mosman Post Office, which will be transformed into 34 luxury apartments, along with retail tenancy space.

A mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments will be on offer, ranging from 80 sqm to 125 sqm internally.

Each adjoins to generous winter gardens, which have been designed as an extension of the living spaces, so that views and outdoor living can be maximised.

Crowning the building will be a communal residents’ area, complete with dining space and seating areas, basking in landscaped gardens and greenery.

Sun Property Group head back to Mosman to deliver their latest set of residential apartments

Prominent Australian developer and builders, Coronation Property has announced its continued expansion into Sydney&rsquo;s inner-city ring with the acquisition of a $200 million mixed-use development site in Chatswood.

Located at 57-61 Archer Street, the site sits in the centre of the suburb and across the road from key amenities including Westfield Chatswood and Chatswood Chase. It&#39;s also just&nbsp;a 10-minute walk to Chatswood Station.

Coronation Property will utilise the connected site to deliver a mixed-use precinct with around 2,000 sqm of retail space and 130 residential dwellings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161005]

Head of Urban Transformations at Coronation Property, Aras Labutis said the acquisition represents an important milestone for the company as they continue to focus on mixed-use sites around Sydney.

&ldquo;The Chatswood site presented a unique opportunity for Corontion Property to contribute to what we see as one of Sydney&rsquo;s fastest-growing precincts. With the State and Willoughby Councils committed to further developing Chatswood as a major employment and residential hub, we are excited to respond to the demand for more housing in the area and build upon an already highly sought-after community.&rdquo;

&ldquo;The site is in an ideal location, in a blue-chip area that is currently experiencing extensive investment into its town centre and the surrounding infrastructure. These factors will drive further growth in the area and make Chatswood an excellent opportunity for owner-occupiers and investors,&rdquo; Labutis added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=193243]

Over the last five years, the Council has been in talks with the Chatswood community, developing a strategy to grow the town centre as a major employment hub and a vibrant residential precinct.

Coronation Property&rsquo;s project will tie into the overarching vision to enhance Chatswood&rsquo;s evolving growth strategy, with the group intending to work closely with both the State and Willoughby Council throughout the citywide rezoning process.

&ldquo;The new development represents a continuation of Coronation Property&rsquo;s strategy to focus on transformative placemaking and aspirational inner-city residential projects,&rdquo; said Labutis.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31751 project_image_fid=161007]

The Chatswood project further solidifies the group&rsquo;s already robust development pipeline, which currently has over $5.2 billion in major mixed-use projects, including the underway 8 Phillip Street in Paramatta development, Charlie Parker in Harris Park, Mason &amp; Main in Merrylands, Ashbury Terraces in Ashbury and Moore Point in Liverpool.

Construction for the Chatswood site is set to commence in 12 to 18 months, pending development approval.

Long-standing partners, Primeland and Pelligra are coming together again to create another residential project&nbsp;at 83-91 Albert St, East Melbourne.

The group, who are&nbsp;involved in a wide range of commercial and industrial developments, will add to their already impressive portfolio with the Albert St site, with plans to produce a similar set of residences like they constructed at 67-69 Well St, which were&nbsp;designed by prominent Melbourne architect, Christopher Doyle,&nbsp;in collaboration with landscape architect Jack Merlo.

East Melbourne heralds a blend&nbsp;of old and new architecture, set on the doorstep of the CBD,&nbsp;nestled among a natural landscape of parks and heritage-listed gardens.

The streets are lined with nineteenth-century buildings coupled with stylish modern masterpieces, with 83-91 Albert St set to add to the streetscape.&nbsp;

<a href="/new-apartments/83-91-albert-street-east-melbourne-vic-3002"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="930" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-17_at_12.01.35_pm.png" width="1664" /></a>

83-91 Albert St will be a four-storey apartment building, comprising 12 three-bedroom residences, as well as two four-bedroom penthouses.

The penthouses capture the surrounding CBD views and nearby parklands, each with their own private staircase leading to the rooftop garden.

A two-level basement car park offers 30 off-street private garages and electric charging stations, as well as individual wine cellars for each apartment.

Renowned architecture and interior design studio, Carr are behind the designs of the apartments, with each space following an open plan design, flowing seamlessly onto landscaped balconies.

Floor-to-ceiling windows further accentuate the space in each apartment, along with connecting the homes to the surrounding nature.

A lush garden oasis exists at the centre of the development, with the dedicated ground floor space creating a unique element in the design.

Pelligra Chairman, Ross Pelligra said the prospect of collaborating again was not only exciting but a great honour.

“This is such a great opportunity being only the 2nd owner of this land in over 20 years and having the opportunity to create another high-end living masterpiece right on the edge of the CBD,” he said.&nbsp;

“The vision for this project is to create a top of the line luxury apartment experience that will serve to become a landmark for East Melbourne,"&nbsp;Primeland Chairman, Robert Brij, added.&nbsp;

83-91 Albert St is expected to go to the market by Q1 of next year, with completion slated from early 2025.

The Justin Brown-led Abadeen Group, who specialise in high-end apartment developments predominantly on Sydney's Lower North Shore, have filed plans for another Neutral Bay development.

Following their recently launched Enso Neutral Bay, Abadeen will look to target the affluent downsizer again with their latest project at 7-11 Premier Street, near Forsythe Park.

They've had PBD Architects draw up plans for a part four-level, part&nbsp;five-level development with 18 apartments, broken down into 14 three-bedroom apartments and four-two bedroom apartments. The two penthouses feature full-width terraces and a separate study space.

<a href="/new-apartments/the-villas-neutral-bay-7-11-premier-street-neutral-bay"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="1280" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-05-24_at_3.49.48_pm.png" width="2060" /></a>

In their design statement submitted to the local council, PBD said the built form will respond to the immediate environment, with open community space a focus in the design process.

"The articulation of the built form is designed to effectively reduce the scale of the height of the building perceived from Premier Street through the introduction of various setbacks, a selected natural material palette, horizontal pre-cast concrete band, as well as featured curved planters on balcony edges," the report noted.

"The interplay of curvaceous architectural form defines the spatial design, separating the building into two cores with a centralised passage into the entrance foyer.

"With a strategically layered façade, the design creates seven opportunities to maximise direct northern sunlight into the entrance space."

The upper-level penthouse apartments are crowned with a bronze-toned metal cladding to create a material contrast to the overall mass.

Abadeen have another project in Neutral Bay, Enso, a collection of just nine apartments designed by the renowned architect Koichi Takada.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109705 project_image_fid=191910]

There's a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments in the Grosvenor Street development.

Abadeen also had Takada design their newest Crows Nest project, Koyo.

Koyo, a Japanese terms which refers to the changing colours of the leaves in autumn, has been geared toward the owner-occupier, with its generously-sized living and outdoor areas.

Takada said he was inspired by the parks and the deciduous trees in the area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=179486]

"We really&nbsp;wanted to bring that external element of nature into the internal space", Takada said.

Abadeen also recently branched out to Queensland, where they've seen huge success in Palm Beach with their debut Gold Coast project,&nbsp;Villea.

Only three-bedroom apartment remain&nbsp;in the&nbsp;69-apartment tower at 26 Mawarra Street.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106840 project_image_fid=172251]

Justin Brown said Palm Beach&nbsp;is one of Australia’s premier beachfront locations.

“The location of the site is close to northern Palm Beach’s pristine beachfront precinct as well as Tallebudgera Creek and is located in an area where there are very few development opportunities for such a project.

“We know the market is running very strongly on the southern Gold Coast, in Palm Beach particularly, and&nbsp;believe the market is primed for this project."

The family-owned Melbourne developer, Blue Earth Group, who consistently deliver amenity-rich projects across Melbourne, are back with their latest development, Porter, in the inner-western suburb of&nbsp;Spotswood.

Porter, which will&nbsp;&nbsp;offer both apartments and townhouses from its prime Birmingham Street location, a stones throw from Spotswood Oval, will be part of a wider masterplanned precinct, which will feature extensive amenity for residents.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198399]

Blue Earth are again working with the reputable builder Hamilton Marino, who they even get to build their display suites so buyers know exactly the level of quality that the apartment will offer when completed.

They&#39;ve also again called on CHT Architects and Sora Interior Architecture and Design, who have worked on 22 of Blue Earth&#39;s previous&nbsp;developments. Hamilton Marino have constructed 35 of Blue Earth developments.

There will be 143 apartments&nbsp;across the two buildings&nbsp;dubbed Porter and Flagman, delivered across three collections; Premier Collection, Penthouse Collection, and the Townhouse Collection.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198403]

The Premier Collection will offer a mix of one and two-bedroom apartments while the Penthouse Collection will home a suite of three-bedroom apartments.

The Townhouse Collection delivers&nbsp;two-level residences with private street-entrances, designed for the family owner-occupier, with a flexi room included in the home.

Much like Blue Earth&#39;s previous projects, there&#39;s extensive amenity, including a cinema, games room, central garden, co-working space and private offices, and even a dedicated dog wash.

Both buildings will feature a central garden, click and collect services, bike storage and lobby and concierge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198401]

Residents will also have access to a mobile phone app. The&nbsp;all-in-one Porter App, supported by the in-house concierge, will allow&nbsp;residents to book a range of services and facilities throughout the development.

Access to apartments is granted via the app, through keyless entry, as is the ability to grant remote access to visitors and trades.

The smart apartment app will also allow residents to control blinds, lights, heating and cooling, both from home or remotely.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198411]

Construction has kicked off on the development with Blue Earth expecting construction to be completed by late 2023.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Busy Sydney developers, ALAND, has secured&nbsp;one of Gosford&rsquo;s most sought-after mixed-use sites, which sold with development approval for two towers.

The 5656 sqm site at 108-118 Mann Street originally launched to the market at The Archibald in 2019, with development approval for a dual tower build comprising 289 apartments, along with a ground floor pub, level 28 sky bar, 167 hotel suites and a range of hotel amenity including an infinity pool, gym and conference hall.

ALAND CEO George Tadrosse confirmed the deal was done via an expression of interest process run by Colliers International which closed at the end of March.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a sensational site right in the heart of Gosford, which is increasingly being seen as a key regional location,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re delighted to have secured the property and look forward to taking the plans for the project forward to deliver a fantastic new addition to the Gosford skyline. Subject to planning, we are looking at launching the project sales in spring and starting construction this year.&rdquo;

<img alt="" height="640" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/f5678df9-044b-42f6-b776-1b4154a6f9b4-w.jpeg" width="1200" />

The Gosford property is one of the CBD&#39;s last remaining consolidated sites, with street frontages to Mann, Donnison and Baker Streets.

Located close to Gosford&rsquo;s waterfront, the site is also&nbsp;well-connected to key amenities like the Gosford Train Station, Gosford TAFE and the Central Coast Stadium.

The site was demolished in preparation for construction, with the site placed on the market earlier this year.

Tadrosse said his team will now review the project but expects work to begin quickly.

&ldquo;We have an opportunity to make a significant contribution to the city, and we&rsquo;re excited to get this project underway,&rdquo; he added.

ALAND recently launched&nbsp;their $800 million master-planned precinct in Merrylands, in Sydney&rsquo;s west.

There has already been strong demand for the first stage of the project, with the prime 2.5-hectare site, located adjacent to the Merrylands train station, set to deliver 365 apartments across three buildings, up to 20 storeys in height.

The Gladstone Village&nbsp;is a rare offering for Merrylands and one of the last remaining pockets along Sydney&rsquo;s rail network to be developed.

ALAND CEO George Tadrosse confirmed the deal was done via an expression of interest process run by Colliers International which closed at the end of March.
