Around 400 additional homes could be built at Southwark Grounds on Port Road, lifting total site capacity from 1300 to around 1700 dwellings.

A recently approved code amendment would allow apartment towers of up to 14 storeys in some areas of Renewal SA’s redevelopment of the former West End Brewery.

Renewal SA Acting Chief Executive Shane Wingard said he welcomed the code amendment, with the increase in heights and homes making a positive impact on the supply of high-quality, well-connected housing close to the city.

“By going higher across some parts of Southwark Grounds, we are adding a substantial number of very well-located homes with little impact on project delivery time or planned open space,” Mr Wingard said.

Since the project officially launched in 2025, Mr Wingard said more than 12,000 enquiries had been received about living at Southwark Grounds.

“The very strong early interest we’ve seen since homes were first released in the precinct reinforces our plans to create more housing opportunities,” he said.

The Southwark Grounds code amendment was launched in December last year, with community engagement undertaken over five weeks from January.

It proposed increasing maximum building heights from eight to 14 storeys on the eastern section of Southwark Grounds, and to 12 storeys across the remainder of the site, with minimum building heights ranging from two to four storeys.

The code amendment was implemented through an Early Commencement policy in late January, allowing developers to quickly explore the viability of increased height and housing yield while other planning processes continue.

One of the first developers delivering apartment sites have already finalised redesigns to increase the number of apartments following the code amendment.

Samaras’ development adjacent to the future Colonel Light Park is now planning to deliver 125 apartments across 11 storeys, significantly greater than original plans of around 50 apartments across four storeys.

The developer is also exploring the potential for additional affordable housing outcomes.

Most of the apartments at Southwark Grounds will be delivered within a master-planned precinct on a large parcel of land on the eastern portion of the site, covering around two-thirds of its 8.4 hectares.

Wingard said detailed precinct planning over the coming months may identify further opportunities to increase yield further that could see total apartment numbers at Southwark Grounds, exceed this number.

Affordable homes at Southwark Grounds will also see a net increase, with Renewal SA maintaining its commitment to a minimum of 20 per cent affordable housing across the development.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Civil works have begun across the site, with construction under way on the first new roads surrounding a townhouse precinct in the south‑west corner of Southwark Grounds. This includes Renewal SA’s 17 Founder’s Row homes, which are on track for completion by Christmas.

“We expect to have people living at Southwark Grounds by the end of the year, so delivering roads and public spaces for those residents is among our highest priorities.”

Construction of 40 townhouses off Anderson Street, known as West Village and being delivered by Contour, is forecast to begin in mid‑2026. Kolabb’s Anderson Lane development will follow shortly after, delivering a further 26 townhouses.

Southwark Grounds is a state government‑led urban renewal project now set to deliver around 1,700 homes over the next decade.

Homes will be supported by a supermarket, a range of retail and hospitality offerings anchored by a revitalised Walkerville Brew Tower, a childcare centre, car parking and well‑connected public spaces.

400 new homes planned for Adelaide's former West End Brewery site

Brisbane developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/cavcorp">Cavcorp</a> has lodged plans for a new mixed-use residential development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/55-wyandra-street-teneriffe-qld-4005">55 Wyandra Street</a>, Teneriffe, anchored by an 85-metre public laneway designed to reconnect the suburb’s riverfront with the Gasworks precinct.

The buildings, known as Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane, would replace the existing Queensland Cotton head office site with a 15-storey residential tower transitioning to eight storeys toward Helen Street. The project has been designed by Plazibat Architects and lodged as a code assessable development application for 93 apartments across a 3,401 sqm mixed-use site within the Newstead and Teneriffe Waterfront neighbourhood plan.

Central to the scheme is the transformation of an existing service easement into a publicly accessible cross-block connection linking Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the new laneway will act as both a pedestrian shortcut and a landscaped civic space between the Teneriffe Riverwalk, ferry terminal, and Gasworks precinct.

<img alt="First Look: Cavcorp unveils Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane plans for landmark wellness tower in Teneriffe" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="26e7f058-b065-4de8-b13d-a2b8cb64dfcc" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/bldg.png?VersionId=sELS0ZKYi361oYipUa1BIKfe_.DLZoFV" />

“The revised proposal delivers a legacy public-realm cross-block link, permanently secured for community use, transforming an existing private easement into a safe, high-quality pedestrian connection between the Teneriffe heritage riverwalk and the Gasworks–Long Island precinct,” the planning report states.

The laneway will sit beneath a large subtropical loggia integrated into the podium levels of the development. The design incorporates deep landscaping, water gardens, lobby spaces, business lounges, and ground-floor apartments to create what Cavcorp describes as a climate-responsive “urban verandah.”

The tower itself has been designed as a slender form with recessed floorplates and curved translucent corners inspired by contemporary Japanese architecture. The building height aligns with the Commercial Road precinct controls, which permit towers up to 15 storeys within proximity to Longland Street.

The project will comprise a mix of larger-format apartments aimed at owner-occupiers, downsizers, and families. The proposed apartment mix includes 11 loggia apartments across the lower levels, 50 four-bedroom Sky-Terrace apartments from levels three to seven, and 32 Sky-Pool Homes occupying the upper tower levels. The Sky-Pool Homes will feature private thermal plunge pools integrated into oversized balconies.

According to the application, the apartments are intended to reinterpret the scale and character of Teneriffe’s woolstore conversions and Queensland homes within a vertical residential format.

“The sky-pool homes build on Cavcorp’s previous projects and introduce a distinct apartment typology to Teneriffe, informed by both local and international precedent and responding to an identified market demand for enhanced safety, space and amenity,” the planning submission notes.

A major focus of the proposal is its five-level wellness and lifestyle offering, extending from the basement through to the rooftop.

Amenities proposed include a rooftop Swim &amp; Racquet Club with a 25-metre Olympic lap pool and tennis court, coworking spaces and libraries, golf simulators, wine storage, concierge facilities, business lounges, pet wash areas, and rooftop longevity-focused wellness spaces with spas, outdoor fitness zones, and landscaped terraces.

All parking will be concealed within basement levels accessed from Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the deep-basement engineering approach allows the entire ground plane to prioritise landscaping, pedestrian movement, and active frontage rather than vehicle infrastructure.

The development continues Cavcorp’s concentration in Newstead and Teneriffe, where the Brisbane developer has delivered a number of apartment projects including Lucent, Le Bain, and Luminare, as well as the Long Island Wellness Precinct nearby. Several of those projects have received national design and architecture awards, including recognition under Brisbane’s “Buildings that Breathe” program.

Focus Group Investments has lodged plans for a new apartment development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/64-70-hanover-street-fitzroy-vic-3065">64–70 Hanover Street</a> in Fitzroy, seeking to utilise the Victorian Government’s recently introduced Great Design Fast Track pathway to accelerate approvals for the project.

The proposal is among the latest developments to emerge through the state-led initiative, which was established to fast-track well-designed residential projects in activity centres and transport-connected inner-city locations. The pathway allows qualifying developments that meet elevated design and housing benchmarks to bypass traditional council planning timeframes and instead be assessed directly by the Department of Transport and Planning.

Designed by SJB, the development will comprise a mix of apartments above activated lower levels, with a strong focus on architectural articulation, landscaping, and communal amenity. The design response seeks to balance the industrial character of Richmond’s former warehouse precincts with a more contemporary residential form.

<img alt="First look: Focus Group Investments taps Victoria’s Great Design Fast Track for Richmond apartments" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="abea51cc-d85b-479e-9aef-a589f3b37ca7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/ground.png?VersionId=e1Kf8EyPWwyiVumtqQ4rM5S4GpOR3CCz" />

Proposed are 63 new dwellings, a wide ranging mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, and townhouses and duplexes. They will be spread across a part-three, part-eight storey building.

The Planning and Urban Context Report by Tract says the development is of an "exemplary architectural standard" and has been carefully crafted by SJB Architects.

"Dwellings&nbsp;will benefit from excellent access to natural light, cross-ventilation opportunities and extensive communal space," the report noted.

The architectural material highlights the project’s integration of landscaped elements and communal spaces throughout the building. The proposal also incorporates sustainability initiatives aligned with the Victorian Government’s push for higher-performing apartment developments under the fast-track program.

The Great Design Fast Track was unveiled by the Victorian Government in 2024 as part of a broader housing supply strategy aimed at accelerating the delivery of new homes. Projects assessed through the pathway must demonstrate high-quality architecture, sustainability outcomes, and housing diversity while being located close to public transport and existing infrastructure.

Focus Group, founder and led by Paul De Lutiis, is increasingly active across Melbourne’s inner suburbs, targeting well-connected urban renewal locations suited to medium and higher-density residential development. The Fitzroy proposal continues that strategy, leveraging the area’s strong transport links, established retail amenity, and proximity to the CBD.

Fitzroy has been one of the most popular spots for developers and buyers in recent years. The likes of PACE Development Group, SMA Projects, Crema Group and Chapter Group, currently selling projects in the suburb.

The Gold Coast Planning Committee has supported the preliminary approval for the Benowa Gardens Urban Village project following an extensive community consultation and assessment process.

The proposal will now proceed to a full council vote on June 2.

The application sought approval for a masterplanned urban village on the existing Benowa Gardens Shopping Centre site, combining new housing, retail, dining, health and lifestyle amenities within a walkable, integrated precinct.&nbsp;

The proposed redevelopment includes around 413 apartments integrated above a revitalised mixed-use centre featuring a full-line supermarket of 4,000 sqm, 6,000 sqm of specialty retail and dining space across around 30 retailers, a 7,000 sqm health and wellness precinct, and roughly 9,630 sqm of office and medical suites.&nbsp;

<img alt="$1b Benowa Gardens Urban Village moves to Full Council following Planning Committee support" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fb36ae47-80bc-45f0-9914-31b0c7b6007d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/PR26576%20Ashmore%20Road%20C4%201121%20FI.jpg?VersionId=6mRKk2uU4r67TmTt39DKGUlvFRbTVqWa" />

The broader masterplan also includes very significant traffic and transport improvements, wide pedestrian walkways, upgraded pedestrian and cycle connections, and enhanced public areas designed to create a more connected and walkable community environment.&nbsp;

Centre owner Patrick Lu said the milestone reflected months of detailed planning, technical assessment and ongoing communication with local residents, businesses, schools and stakeholders.

“We appreciate the time, consideration and care Council officers and the Planning Committee have given this proposal throughout the assessment process,” Lu said.

“We also sincerely thank the local community for engaging with us, sharing feedback and participating in the consultation process over many months.

<img alt="$1b Benowa Gardens Urban Village moves to Full Council following Planning Committee support" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="32fd1fc3-d0e6-485f-ac57-9916c9bcb818" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/PR26576%20Ashmore%20Road%20C5%201121%20FI_2.jpg?VersionId=fz8qQKDBLQ7MyFRc856Zccfbh9nFwLOe" />

“We understand projects of this scale bring questions and concerns, which is why we have worked hard to listen carefully, provide information transparently and continue refining elements of the proposal where possible.

“Our vision has always been to create a well-designed, community-focused urban village that responds to the changing needs of the Gold Coast, while delivering improved amenity, housing diversity, healthcare access and local lifestyle benefits.

“This proposal is about creating a genuine live-work-play environment where residents can access everyday services, schools, healthcare, dining, shopping and green space within walking distance, while also supporting local jobs and economic activity.”

Lu said the proposal had evolved significantly through consultation and technical review, particularly around traffic, pedestrian and student safety and neighbourhood connectivity.&nbsp;

Melissa Griffin, Director at Urbis, said the recommendation recognised the strategic importance of delivering more housing and services within established urban areas already supported by infrastructure.

“This proposal represents the type of thoughtful, integrated growth that planning frameworks across South-East Queensland are encouraging,” Ms Griffin said.

“The project seeks to place housing, retail, healthcare and employment opportunities together in a highly accessible location close to schools, transport and existing services.

“Importantly, the process has involved significant technical assessment and community engagement to ensure local issues and feedback were properly considered throughout the planning pathway.”

Surfers Paradise is officially set for its first new residential development with a 45-storey skybridge connecting the two towers.

John Camilleri’s Celestino Developments has been given the green light by the Gold Coast City Council to develop its major beachfront precinct across its huge 4,000 sqm oceanfront site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/63-79-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">63–79 Garfield Terrace</a>, just five months after its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/first-look-exclusive-billionaire-winx-breeder-s-bold-two-tower-surfers-paradise-play-with-45th-storey-skybridge">submission in late 2025</a>.

The approved scheme will deliver two towers rising 55 and 48 storeys, connected by a skybridge positioned on level 45 that will house a range of resident-only wellness and entertainment spaces.

In its notice of approval, the Gold Coast City Council said the&nbsp;proposed overall built form has been designed to complement the scale, intensity and protect the adjacent amenity and surrounding streets through the use of varied setbacks, site cover and architectural elements.

<img alt="First look exclusive: Billionaire Winx breeder’s bold two-tower Surfers Paradise play with 45th-storey skybridge" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.53.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=ADyPJ_TFbJvSU9wZFOiCBnlPtgF7VWqW" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/dbi">DBI</a>, the development will comprise 275 apartments across the two towers, including a mix of two-, three-, and four-bedroom residences, as well as several penthouses. The apartments will sit above a landscaped podium featuring more than 90 metres of beachfront pool frontage, private resident lawns, lounges, and wellness spaces.

DBI said the design draws heavily from the movement and form of the coastal environment, with curving balcony lines and sculpted façades intended to soften the scale of the towers while maximising ocean outlooks and passive shading outcomes.

“The project occupies a rare, uninterrupted oceanfront site and has been shaped by a design philosophy that merges architectural elegance with environmental responsiveness and a carefully curated lifestyle experience,” DBI said in planning documents submitted to the Gold Coast City Council.

The most distinctive element of the approved project is the skybridge linking the two towers at level 45. The elevated communal space is planned to include executive lounges, formal dining areas, wellness facilities, and panoramic ocean-facing outlooks.

“The skybridge enhances the identity of the development, promotes social interaction, and delivers a lifestyle experience not found elsewhere on the Gold Coast,” DBI said.

At podium level, residents will have access to a suite of resort-style amenities, including resident lounges, private dining rooms, a yoga lawn, gymnasium, plunge pools, and treatment spaces. The beachfront pool has been designed with separate lap, lounge, and children’s areas extending across the width of the site.

The project will also introduce new food and beverage offerings along the Enderley Avenue and Oceanway frontages, contributing additional activation to the beachfront precinct.

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.

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.

Euroka&nbsp;is inspired by Melbourne’s iconic Roy Grounds House – once home to one of Victoria’s most influential modern architects.

The renowned architect and design firm,&nbsp;Carr Design, has created the 10 luxury apartments, which includes two ultra-luxury penthouses.

They have another site in Toorak at 226-228 Williams Road which will also home&nbsp;a boutique apartment project.

Earlier this year they secured a Chatswood site with a view to create two towers and around 180 apartments.

A mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments will be on offer, ranging from 80 sqm to 125 sqm internally.



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.
