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.

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.

The developers of the Elevate on Buderim apartment complex on the Sunshine Coast say construction is ahead of schedule.
Its off the plan buyers can "look forward to celebrating Christmas in their new homes."
HMR projects director Ken Reed commissioned construction company Devcon to build the $7.5 million seven apartment project.
The works were disrupted by an unseasonably wet June.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/7/25/2Elevate%20on%20Buderim%20Exterior_MR.jpg" alt="">
Michael Kain, the managing director of Devcon, advised the progress was made by the 35 to 40 workers onsite at peak times.
Some four apartments were bought soon after going onto the market, with one of the two luxury penthouses and two three-bedroom apartments still for sale.
The sold penthouse fetched $2 million plus.
The penthouses — up to 265 sqm including garages — offer three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study, Miele appliances such as a built-in coffee machine and steam oven, high raked ceilings and a feature island bench.
The complex is set at the top of Ballinger Road on a 1,333 sqm lot on the corner of Ballinger Crescent
HMFR's recent developments in Buderim included Aspects on Buderim and Sage Landing.

EXPERT OBSERVATION
In a classic catch 22 example of a planning system of contradictions, the Independent Planning Commission has preferred to respect local character over a council’s proposal for development around a railway station.
Lane Cove Council has been proposing for some years that new housing development belocated at St Leonards South, near St Leonards station, in what would seem to be a good example of Transit Oriented Development.
Generally the state government has supported proposals by local councils but in this instance the government’s Independent Planning Commission has dismissed the council’s proposal on the basis that the planning proposal did not respect the existing local character of the area.
The Urban Taskforce is concerned that a NSW Government planning document issued in February 2019 titled ‘Local Character and Place Guideline’ seems to promote a preferredsuburban character with no buildings over 3 storeys high in the publication. 
We believe the government is sending signals to the community that a suburban character is better that an urban character, with taller apartment buildings. 
It would appear that the local community in StLeonards South have been encouraged by the government’s promotion of local character as being suburban, to argue against change even when their own council has proposed the new apartment precinct.
It seems that the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment will have the final say onthe St Leonards South precinct plan, but our concern is that their own documents promote the importance of local character over Transit Oriented Development around railway stations.
The Urban Taskforce supports Lane Cove Council’s sensible proposal to accommodate housinggrowth in a precinct adjacent to St Leonards Station and close to the proposed Crows Nest metro station. 
We are very concerned at a growing approach from planners in some councils and within the government to be promoting the respect of local character rather than providing a leadership role in where new more urban precincts should occur around railway stations.
Chris Johnson is the Chief Executive Officer of Urban Taskforce

Perth architecture and property development group Baltinas’ new mixed-use development on Beaufort Street in Mount Lawley has been approved.
The project was approved by The City of Vincent.
It includes 26 luxury apartments with a mix of one to three bedroom offerings, offices, and ground floor retail and café spaces.
Baltinas’ founder Barry Baltinas said the CHALLIS development on the Highgate Drycleaners site had been named in honour of the couple who’d owned the site since the 1950’s until his company purchased it two years ago.
Mr Baltinas said the new landmark building would feature quality architecture drawing inspiration from Mount Lawley’s cornerstone art deco buildings.
He says that the tree planting system CHALLIS incorporates is unlike any other seen in Perth, with trees growing throughout the upper levels of the building.
“The calibre of this development will help enrich the local community by activating residential life and the town strip with new bustling retail, cafe and office space, and the inclusion of public art of significant importance,” said Mr Baltinas.
The development is targeted at the owner-occupier demographic, in particular the downsizer. 
“This downsizer market is potentially one that will spend most of their daytime hours out and about in the town centre supporting the local economy, so it’s a very exciting project for Mount Lawley and for us,” he said.
Construction is due to start in January 2020,
The project is forecast to be completed by July 2021

Moelis has bought 54 apartments in Vision, South Village at Kirrawee.
Development company Payce negotiated a deal with Moelis Australia to sell all the units in the six-storey Flora Street building for $28.5 million.
The investment company's purchase was first reported by the local paper, the St George Leader, as being at "about 30% below peak sale prices".
A followup story by Nine Enertainment suggested the deal came at a discount of between 20-25% based on market prices for units sold in the area last year.
Moelis is seeking investors to finance the purchase of the apartments, which will be rented. 
The Moelis prospectus said rental income from the apartments was expected to grow at a rate of 3.5% a year.
The prospectus said the purchase price was a discount of about 30% on peak prices at South Village and 20% below those achieved in 2019.
"The block includes 29 one-bedroom, 24 two-bedroom and one three-bedroom units," he said.
"The sale price is comparable to selling the units individually on the open market when all selling costs are included.
"These costs include GST, agent commissions, marketing costs, holding costs and buyer incentive offers.
"The apartment block is the only one of seven in the development on the former brick pit site that Payce had to sell on completion.
Co-developer Decor had the remainder, telling the local paper their apartments were "selling very well".
"About 600 have been sold to date, with about 180 to go."

The first residents have moved into the riverfront Yungaba House estate, the repurposing of a heritage building at Kangaroo Point in Brisbane.
Built just two decades after Queensland became a separate colony to New South Wales, the 130 year old building recently underwent its residential conversion by Frasers Property. 
With its 3,000 square metre private heritage gardens, the building has been reconfigured to have 10 house-sized residences.
The home’s combine history and luxury with original woodwork, high ceilings, chandeliers, large wooden doors, modern kitchen and bathrooms, and high-tech security.
The grounds feature a 25 metre infinity lap pool, a gym and a covered barbecue entertaining area with private access to the river.
The Residences were priced from $1,795,000 to $4.25 million.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2018/5/16/L1005950%20copy.jpeg">
A young family from neighbouring suburb Bulimba has paid $3.6 million for Residence Five, one of the flagship homes of The Residences, following the highly-anticipated project’s official launch last month.
Spanning four levels, the three-bedroom home can be considered one of The Residence’s ‘penthouses’, incorporating its own turret with stunning CBD and Story Bridge views and an expansive basement level.
Residence five was the second most expensive offering, surpassed only by residence six, which was priced at $4.25 million at the east-facing riverfront site only 800 metres to the CBD.
The sales were off the plan two years ago, with two residences up for sale.
Place Kangaroo Point agent Simon Caulfield is asking for offers in the high $2 millions for Residence 10.
Spanning 425 square metres, the home features painted exposed brickwork walls, raked timber ceilings, solid hardwood timber flooring and a galley style kitchen.
Each of the four ensuited bedrooms opens to covered decks. The main living space flows to a wraparound balcony with views of the Brisbane River underneath the Storey Bridge. 
Residence 1 has been put up for lease by the owners, a couple who are involved in architecture and interior design.
After committing to a long-term project in New South Wales, the couple who split their time between Sydney and Brisbane, have sought a $2,250 a week tenant. 
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2018/5/16/YungabaHouse%20QLD%20copy.jpeg">
North South Real Estate Brisbane leasing agent Tom Kralikas said the enquiry had been varied.
"Interest has been quite varied, with several local enquiries from downsizers looking to sell their current larger residences and move in to an exclusive, heritage listed property," Kralikas said.
"Additionally, I am working with several interstate business people who are relocating to Brisbane and are specifically looking for something unique."
Kralikas says there are very few comparable buildings to Yungaba House and the design of the property is truly stunning, with the modern touches complementing the heritage structure extremely well. 
The building on its construction in 1887 by colonial architect John James Clark was known then as Yungaba Immigration.
On arrival on the river, immigrants were ferried to Yungaba by way of smaller tugs where they were then accommodated before settling elsewhere.
During the late 1800’s Yungaba House was used to house and accommodate bush children.
<div>In 1901 Yungaba House was temporarily for Australian troops returning from the Boer War in South Africa.</div>
It was added to Queensland's Heritage Register in 1992.

A 184 hectare site in northern NSW with Major Project Approval is on the market.
The site has been approved for 1,600 residential lots and dwellings comprising residential, retirement, aged care, retail and commercial. 
The Bilambil Heights and Cobaki land site is located 7 kilometres from Coolangatta at the former home of the Terranora Lakes Country Club, which closed in 1996.
The vendor is Godfrey Mantle, who was a managing director and owner of Mantle Group Hospitality, and his wife Jenny Mantle, who purchased the property from liquidators 22 years ago.

David Higgins and James Holland of Colliers International along with Randal Wilson of Wilson Property Group are marketing the site
“The approval allows for 1,604 lots and dwellings in addition to 200 bed nursing home, which is a major project for the region and will transform the locality,” said Higgins. 
“As a former 18-hole golf course, the contours provide undulating land unique for a development of this scale.
“The current plan allows for nine precincts with a variety of housing options to be built around a retail and commercial village.
“The site is elevated with each of the nine precincts providing stunning views to the Gold Coast coastline and inland ranges. 
“Interest is expected from residential and retirement developers looking to provide much needed housing for the southern Gold Coast and northern NSW community. 
“Within 11 kilometres radius of the site there is major infrastructure development, including Gold Coast Airport’s $370 million expansion, and the proposed $582 million Tweed Valley Hospital development, which will drive growth for the region and allow it to keep up with the future demand.”
The property is being offered via an expression of interest campaign which closes 17 April 2019.

A recently developed home, known as La Fleur, in the Brisbane suburb of Auchenflower has been sold.
The 84 Agnes Street site was previously home to a 1920s Queenslander.
The property was developed by Solaire Properties, an 18-month old company formed by Harley Weston, James McElhenny and Paul McElhenny.

The five bedroom La Fleur is the third property developed by Solaire, with another, Vanquish, to be constructed on the adjoining property.
Solaire worked with award-winning architectural firm Joe Adsett Architects on the project.
The company said that they focus on incorporating leading edge technology, such as Control4 home automation system, energy efficient home technology, solar and battery storage with real time energy use and a freshwater swimming pool, into its design for La Fleur.
The construction involved environmentally-friendly materials such as Chain of Custody certified timbers, insulation manufactured from recycled glass, GreenTag Certified Italian porcelain tiles and energy efficient lighting.

Purchasers Samantha and Eduardo Maradiegue said they were delighted with the sustainable and smart home design principles.
“It’s refreshing to know that there are developers out there like Harley, James and Paul, we are blown away by their passion for introducing such innovative ideas of eco-conscious homes to the building trade,” they said.
“We are still blown away by the incredible finishes in the house and knowing that it didn’t cost the earth made it an even more satisfying purchase.”
Solaire claim the sale price topped the existing street sale record by $1 million.
Richard Walsh at The Walsh Team Milton marketed the home.

Beulah International has beaten the market downturn with a 100% settlement rate on every single apartment in their now complete Hallmark development in Ivanhoe.
Funded locally by NAB, the project has now been fully repaid, with more than 80 per cent of bank debts paid before settlement day.
Beulah International Managing Director Jiaheng Chan said “we have consistently delivered no matter the state of the market, particularly the tough lending environment in recent times. 
“So too, construction is forging ahead on our Melbourne CBD project Paragon, making it one of the few new developments in the city to get off the ground amidst tighter construction lending," he added.
Located on Norman Street in Ivanhoe, the development was designed by Fender Katsalidis, with residents given the choice of one, two, three and four bedroom apartments.
They feature treetop views and private outdoor terraces with prices ranging from $700,000 - $1.5 million.
Hallmark was "targeted towards downsizers who did not want to compromise on lifestyle."
The apartments are located 10 kilometres from the city, and feature kitchens designed in collaboration with chef Adam D’Sylva.

“We’ve been called in to reach deeper into the Gold Coast market and also to try to get some of that Sydney market that is looking to invest on the Gold Coast,” Williams told the Gold Coast Bulletin.
“I try to come up once a fortnight to meet with the sales team here in the display suite.
“We’re really reaching out this holiday season — we know things get very quiet in the major cities but the team will be right behind holiday makers on the Coast.”
