Growing national developer Time &amp; Place has announced its fifth new apartment development.

With two projects in Manly and two upcoming in Surry Hills and Potts Point, the developer, which expanded beyond Melbourne just a few years ago, is now heading to Mosman. It is planning 53 new apartments on Redan Street.

The 3,233 sqm site, spanning <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/40-48-redan-street-mosman-nsw-2088">40–48 Redan Street</a> with frontage to Redan Lane, is located just under 400 metres from Spit Junction Town Centre. It is reported the developer paid around $100 million for the five-site amalgamation.

Time &amp; Place, founded by Tim Price and backed by James Packer’s private investment firm NPACT, has submitted the project as a State Significant Development through the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

Of the 53 apartments, 42 will be released to the market, with the remaining 11 allocated as affordable housing in line with NSW Government requirements.

fjc Studio has designed the building. In its Design Report, the architect said the diverse mix of dwelling types and sizes, including 11 two-bedroom affordable housing units, 40 three-bedroom apartments, and two four-bedroom residences, will support a broad demographic, including families, downsizers, and key workers.

The development will rise to nine levels, a height encouraged by the NSW Government due to the site’s proximity to Spit Junction, which has been identified as a low- to mid-rise centre. Developments within a certain proximity to these centres are permitted increased height.

fjc said the project “achieves an appropriate density outcome for its setting by balancing increased housing supply with strong amenity performance,” adding that it “makes a measurable contribution to NSW housing supply targets through the delivery of additional dwellings and dedicated affordable housing.”

The new development will replace five existing two-storey homes.

“By aligning with the objectives of the Housing SEPP and applying careful architectural and urban design principles, the development provides high-quality residential accommodation that integrates sensitively within its established Mosman context and delivers enduring benefits to residents and the wider community.”

Mosman has become increasingly popular with developers in recent years.

Developer Abadeen has been particularly active, with Mosman Residences currently on the market and under construction on Clifford Street. It also has an upcoming Burran Avenue project, comprising just three apartments on the Balmoral Slopes, and recently secured the Midas and Honeysuckle nursery site on Military Road.

Prosker Property has a project on Redan Lane, just a few doors down from Time &amp; Place’s proposed development.

Developers including Toohey Miller, DARE Property Group, and WINIM also have projects underway in the area. In 2024, a five-year target was set for the Mosman LGA to increase housing supply by 500 dwellings by 2029.

Time &amp; Place entered the Sydney market with Two Tides, its under construction Manly development. Given its sales success, it has secured another development in the area, more boutique, facing the beach on North Steyne.

They are hoping to launch their redevelopment of The Chimes in Potts Point this year, and next year will look to take to market Marlborough House, an adaptive re-use of the landmark David Jones warehouse in Surry Hills.

Time & Place to take on Mosman apartment market

Brunswick’s civic heart continues to consolidate around the Merri-bek Arts and Culture Precinct, where a growing cluster of cultural institutions, recreation facilities, and public infrastructure has created one of the inner north’s most defined community hubs.&nbsp;

Within this evolving precinct, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/saxon-street-by-milieu-brunswick-31-saxon-street-brunswick-vic-3056">Saxon Street by Milieu</a> introduces new housing directly alongside the civic anchors that shape daily life in the suburb.

At 31 Saxon Street, the project sits immediately beside Brunswick Baths and within moments of Brunswick Library and Town Hall, longstanding institutions that support both community services and everyday amenity.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136434 project_image_fid=348840]

Next door, the newly delivered Balam Balam Place arts precinct has emerged as a central piece of Merri-bek Council’s cultural strategy, bringing together creative studios, exhibition spaces, maternal and child health services, and community programming in a purpose-built civic facility. Together, these destinations have reinforced the surrounding blocks as a focal point for public life in Brunswick.

This part of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/brunswick-vic-3056">Brunswick</a> forms a key pocket within the suburb’s designated Major Activity Centre, where long-term planning has prioritised walkability, civic investment, and increased housing supply close to transport and services. The surrounding street network reflects that strategy, with compact blocks, established retail corridors and active transport links supporting a lifestyle that is largely navigable on foot.

Within a few minutes’ walk, Sydney Road delivers one of Melbourne’s most recognisable streets, known for its long-running mix of independent retailers, international dining venues and everyday convenience. Tram routes along Sydney Road provide frequent connections south toward the CBD and north through Brunswick and Coburg, while Jewell Station on the Upfield line sits within roughly a ten-minute walk, offering direct train access into the city.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136434 project_image_fid=348839]

Active transport also plays a significant role locally. The nearby Upfield Bike Path forms a key north–south cycling corridor linking Brunswick through Parkville and into the central city, reinforcing the area’s reputation as one of Melbourne’s most accessible inner-urban neighbourhoods for cyclists and pedestrians alike.

The surrounding civic cluster extends beyond cultural infrastructure. Siteworks, a nearby creative hub supporting artists and community organisations, adds to the concentration of cultural activity in the immediate area. Educational institutions such as Brunswick North Primary School, Brunswick Secondary College and RMIT’s Brunswick campus are also within easy reach, contributing to the suburb’s diverse resident base spanning families, students and professionals.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136434 project_image_fid=348841]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/jackson-clements-burrows-architects">Jackson Clements Burrows Architects</a> in collaboration with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/designoffice">DesignOffice</a> and landscape architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/oculus">OCULUS</a>, the nine-level building has been shaped to respond to the surrounding streetscape, with lower levels aligning to the street and upper storeys stepping back to soften its scale and improve solar access.&nbsp;

Curved balcony forms reference nearby heritage architecture, while the development’s public realm improvements include a widened footpath along Saxon Street to strengthen pedestrian connections between the precinct’s civic sites.

Sustainability also underpins the project’s approach. The building is designed to operate entirely on electric infrastructure supported by rooftop solar, with an average 7.5-star NatHERS energy rating and EV-charging readiness across the development. Shared resident amenities will include a landscaped rooftop terrace with barbecue and covered dining areas intended to encourage informal interaction between residents.

Saxon Street marks developer Milieu's fifth project in Brunswick and continues its focus on design-led infill housing across Melbourne’s inner suburbs.&nbsp;

Construction has commenced through reputable builder Manresa, who will complete the project in 2027.

Saxon Street by Milieu connects residents to Brunswick’s cultural and civic core

Within <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/candela-ivanhoe-40-upper-heidelberg-road-ivanhoe-vic-3079">Candela Ivanhoe</a>, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/salter-brothers">Salter Brothers</a>&nbsp;takes a different approach to larger residences, moving away from the constraints of a single level.

In Grand Residence 3.05, known as the Lustre, plays out across two levels, with a mezzanine configuration that is uncommon in apartment living.

Lustre is a four-bathroom residence where the layout creates a clear distinction between shared and private zones, with uninterrupted views toward the Dandenong Ranges extending the sense of openness from the main living areas.

Entry is to the primary living level, where the kitchen, dining, and living areas are arranged as one continuous space. Timber flooring runs throughout, with a fireplace set within the living zone. Full-height glazing brings in natural light, supported by double glazing that improves thermal performance.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357506]

The kitchen is configured as both a working and social space. A large island bench provides seating, while a walk-in pantry extends storage beyond typical apartment expectations.

Gaggenau appliances, including a 900mm gas cooktop and 600mm oven, are integrated into a layout that connects directly to the adjacent dining and living areas, and outward to the terrace. This balcony includes a built-in BBQ, reinforcing the apartment’s capacity to accommodate larger gatherings without compromising internal space.

A dedicated laundry room, powder room, and a wine cellar area sit discreetly off the main living zone, ensuring that functional requirements are resolved without encroaching on primary living areas. The master suite is also located on this level, designed as a retreat with a walk-through wardrobe and an ensuite that includes double vanities, a bath, and a dedicated dressing table.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357508]

The mezzanine level introduces a second layer of living, rather than simply additional bedrooms. Two large bedrooms with built-in robes are positioned alongside a central bathroom, while a secondary lounge and study area create a self-contained zone suited to children, guests, or extended family. A large storage room further supports long-term usability, addressing a common shortfall in apartment design.

This separation of levels is central to how the residence functions day-to-day. It allows the lower level to operate as the primary entertaining and living space, while the upper level provides privacy and flexibility. The result is closer in feel to a townhouse or standalone home, but with the benefits of apartment living, security, and low maintenance.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=364553]

Candela is close to 80 per cent complete, with Ironside delivering construction ahead of its expected October 2026 completion. The development comprises 58 residences, with a strong owner-occupier profile and a mix of one to four-bedroom apartments and loft-style townhouses.

Candela has exclusive access to private amenities, including a residential lounge and rooftop terrace. A charming café and a lifestyle wellness centre are located on the ground level, designed to foster community connection and extend the living experience beyond individual apartments without competing with the scale of homes like Lustre.

Candela, positioned in the heart of Ivanhoe Village, reinforces the practicality of the address. With a Walk Score of 90, residents are within immediate reach of cafés, retail, parklands, and Ivanhoe Station, while also benefiting from proximity to established schools and healthcare services.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/milieu-property">Milieu</a>’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elsternwick-gardens-by-milieu-8-gordon-street-elsternwick-vic-3185">Elsternwick Gardens</a> is being shaped around a simple but increasingly rare premise in apartment development: that the built environment should actively support residents’ wellbeing.&nbsp;

Located on the former ABC Studios site on Gordon Street in Melbourne’s south-east, the new neighbourhood sits on an expansive 11,740 sqm site neighbouring the heritage-listed Rippon Lea Estate, whose gardens date back more than 140 years.

Rather than positioning wellness as an add-on amenity, the development integrates it into the physical planning of the site. Architecture by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> is arranged across six low-rise buildings set within extensive landscaping designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/oculus">OCULUS</a>, with more than 40 per cent of the land dedicated to gardens and green space. Walking trails, pocket gardens, and mature trees are threaded between buildings, creating a network of green corridors that encourage residents to move through the precinct on foot and spend more time outdoors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136535 project_image_fid=288420]

Milieu has intentionally framed these gardens as an extension of the neighbouring Rippon Lea Estate. More than 16,000 new plants will be introduced across the site, with species carefully selected to protect and complement the area’s ecological significance. The approach focuses on strengthening existing environmental conditions while establishing new habitats that support native wildlife, reinforcing the role of the landscape as both an active ecosystem and a defining element of daily life.

A private resident gate will provide direct access to the historic grounds during opening hours, allowing residents to move seamlessly between the development’s landscaped gardens and the estate’s expansive lawns, lakes, and mature trees. The project’s gardens will also be maintained by the same gardeners responsible for Rippon Lea, reinforcing the visual and ecological continuity between the two landscapes.

Complementing the landscape is a dedicated wellness hub designed to support everyday health and recovery. Residents will have access to a gym alongside yoga and Pilates studios, while mineral pools and infrared saunas provide spaces for relaxation and restorative wellbeing. Shared lounges, workshop spaces, and pet care facilities expand the concept of wellness beyond fitness, creating opportunities for social connection and community interaction within the precinct.

Environmental performance is another key component of the project’s wellbeing focus. Elsternwick Gardens will be entirely fossil-fuel-free, with homes designed to operate on renewable electricity rather than gas. Passive design strategies, including cross-flow ventilation, high-performance insulation, and thermally broken double glazing, are intended to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures while reducing energy demand. Solar photovoltaic systems will power common building services, while rainwater harvesting will help irrigate the extensive landscaping across the site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136535 project_image_fid=361030]

Milieu Founder and Managing Director Michael McCormack says the scale and setting of the project allowed the team to take a different approach to urban apartment living.

“This site represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build something truly special,” McCormack says.

“Through that process, we arrived at a design that centres on a fully realised natural landscape – a series of private, interconnected gardens that encircle the homes and extend seamlessly from Rippon Lea Estate.”

Elsternwick Gardens will comprise three residential offerings, Gordon Place, Ripponlea Terrace, and The Garden Pavilion, each designed for owner-occupiers and shaped around high-quality interior design by Woods Bagot, K.P.D.O., and Flack Studio. The first stage, Gordon Place, includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments designed with a strong focus on indoor-outdoor living and sustainability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136535 project_image_fid=288412]

Milieu recently appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/brady-constructions">Brady Constructions</a> to deliver the project, marking a key milestone for the development. The appointment follows the demolition of the former studio buildings on the Gordon Street site, with construction progressing toward the delivery of the nature-led community.

Situated between the established villages of Elsternwick and Ripponlea, the development balances its garden setting with strong urban connectivity. Residents will be within walking distance of cafés, restaurants, and local retail, while nearby train and tram connections provide quick access to Melbourne’s CBD and the beaches of Elwood and St Kilda.

With construction underway and the first residents expected to move in by early 2027, Elsternwick Gardens represents a growing shift in apartment development toward environments that prioritise wellbeing as much as density or location. By placing landscape, sustainability, and shared spaces at the centre of the design, Milieu is positioning the project as a residential neighbourhood where wellness is not just promoted, but built into the structure of everyday life.

Elsternwick Gardens' wellness-first design strategy

Brisbane-based developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/red-co">Red &amp; Co</a> has made a striking debut on the Gold Coast, officially unveiling its $250 million COMO development in Varsity Lakes, a lifestyle-driven residential project anchored by an extensive rooftop wellness and activity precinct.

Having recently launched to market, construction has already been fast-tracked by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/5point-projects">5Point Projects</a>, ensuring momentum continues on what is set to become a landmark residential address for the growing Varsity Lakes community.

Located at 22 Lake Street, Varsity Lakes, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/como-varsity-lakes-22-lake-street-varsity-lakes-qld-4227">COMO</a> will comprise 156 apartments across 16 levels, comprising one-, two- and three-bedroom residences designed for modern living. However, it is the project’s rooftop amenity offering that sets COMO apart.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363510]

Designed as a dedicated wellness and recreation hub, the rooftop will feature a 25-metre lap pool, fully equipped gymnasium, and multiple pickleball and paddleball courts - amenities rarely seen in boutique apartment projects.

Residents will also have access to a sauna and plunge baths, while landscaped gardens and relaxation zones will provide tranquil spaces overlooking sweeping panoramic views across the Gold Coast skyline.

The rooftop precinct has been designed to function as the social and wellness heart of the development, encouraging residents to embrace an active, balanced lifestyle within their own building.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363512]

Red &amp; Co director David Laverty said the amenity offering was central to the project’s design from the outset.

“Amenities were at the forefront of our decisions,” Laverty said.

“Buyers today are looking for more than just an apartment - they want a lifestyle that promotes health, connection and balance.

“The rooftop at COMO has been designed to be the epicentre of that lifestyle, with a suite of wellness and recreation facilities that are quite unique for a boutique development of this scale.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363514]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, the residences prioritise liveability, featuring spacious layouts, 2.7-metre ceilings and high-quality finishes throughout.

The development sits beside Bond University, placing residents within walking distance of education, retail and dining options within the vibrant Varsity Lakes precinct, including Robina Town Centre, Varsity Lakes Train Station and a range of leading schools.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363511]

Laverty said the location was a key driver behind Red &amp; Co’s decision to bring the project to the Gold Coast.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/varsity-lakes-qld-4227">Varsity Lakes</a> was a clear choice for us to invest in as it’s a lifestyle hub that seamlessly blends lakeside living with urbanity,” he said.&nbsp;

“Como will capitalize on this great location, delivering a project that not only creates premium homes, but a lifestyle defined by community, wellbeing, and connectivity.”

Red &amp; Co has delivered more than 500 apartments and townhouses across 26 projects in Brisbane in recent years, with COMO marking the company’s first major Gold Coast development.

Palm Beach apartments

Buyers have made a rush at the only new off-the-plan beachfront apartment project to arrive in Palm Beach, with 5Point Projects’ Ophira selling over half of its units following its launch late last year.

Capitalising on the absence of ultra-luxury apartments in the Gold Coast's newly established millionaire's row on Jefferson Lane, the $60 million <a href="/new-apartments/ophira-105-107-jefferson-lane-palm-beach">Ophira Palm Beach</a> has successfully sold five of its entire floor residences, each fetching over $7 million.

5Point Director, Damian Dove, says it’s been a phenomenon driven by local buyers enticed by the level of luxury and space offered in Ophira coupled with the fact it is the only absolute beachfront project in Palm Beach and currently in market.

“I think the locality of buyers we’ve welcomed is a huge testament to Ophira’s appeal to discerning locals who have a deep appreciation and understanding of the projects positioning as one of the coasts’ most coveted residential addresses.” Dove said.

"Ophira is the only absolute off the plan beachfront project currently in market situated in the highly sought after Jefferson Lane precinct. Our expectations for the project were high and they have been not only met but exceeded."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221552]

Ophira <a href="/new-apartments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beac</a>h comprises just seven full-floor apartments and a sprawling two-level penthouse.

Each full-floor residence will span between 290 sqm to 317 sqm, including balconies with uninterrupted ocean views. They will have three ensuited bedrooms, display wine storage, and a scullery off the kitchen.

Ophira’s two-level penthouse will deliver 637 sqm of internal and external living space, comprising four bedrooms, five bathrooms and its own private outdoor entertainment area featuring a pool, spa, sauna, sundeck, with teppanyaki bar, a sunken lounge and fire pit.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221553]

“As with each of our projects, we wanted to create something that differentiated itself from the market," Dove added.

"I think the sales we’ve achieved to date are a strong indication that our aptitude for quality design and remarkable architecture are resonating with buyers.

“Given the rate with which apartments have been purchased to date, we expect the remaining apartments to sell out fast.”

Construction is officially underway on the project. Prices start from&nbsp;$6.55 million.

Luxury Palm Beach apartment development Ophira races to 50% sold

Sherpa has launched its latest apartment development in their sought-after Perspective series, and another in the equally <a href="/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">sought-after Palm Beach</a>.

They've already sold half of&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/perspective-nexus">Perspective Nexus</a> – a collection of 32 apartments on the prized eastern side of the Gold Coast Highway which allows the project to take in sweeping views over the sand and out across the ocean.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=232460]

Originally envisioned as a 14-level project, an appeal in August led to a strategic shift in approaching the project with an emphasis on enhanced liveability for owners over quantity.

Read more:&nbsp;<a href="/news/qld/sherpa-revise-plans-for-perspective-nexus-palm-beach-apartments">Sherpa revise plans for Perspective Nexus Palm Beach apartments</a>

The revised plans for <a href="/new-apartments/perspective-nexus">Perspective Nexus</a> now comprises one two-bedroom apartment, 21 three-bed apartments each with a multi-purpose room, and five four-bedroom apartments. Also on offer are two penthouses and three two-level skyhomes with private rooftops.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=231829]

Perspective Nexus marks Sherpa's third venture in <a href="/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a>, following the highly successful Perspective 488 project, which sold out within three months, and its fast-tracked sibling, Perspective Two Sea. Together, these projects achieved a combined sales total exceeding $70 million.

Designed by Hayes Anderson Lynch Architects, every apartment at Perspective Nexus has a spacious living area and home office to address the growing need for work-from-home requirements.&nbsp;

Upper-level apartments with private northeast balconies provide ample solar access and views extending from Currumbin Alley to the Pacific Ocean.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=232526]

The new plans also reveal a host of adjustments, including adding more than 70 car parks to the site for both residents and visitors – exceeding requirements to ensure owners and their guests have access to ample onsite parking.

<a href="/new-apartments/perspective-nexus">Perspective Nexu</a>s will home an array of luxurious communal amenities, including a dedicated wellness space featuring a magnesium spa, outdoor kitchen, sauna, hot and cold pools, a steam room, and a wellness garden for residents to enjoy the beachside ambience.&nbsp;

Additional amenities and features will include an electric car charging station, individual apartment storage, a car wash bay, a dog wash, and parcel delivery storage, including a cold store.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=231830]

Sherpa's expansion of the Perspective collection also extends to the north with the sold-out Perspective Broadwater, a development overlooking the esplanade and waterfront of Biggera Waters.&nbsp;

Perspective on Albatross, another one in Sherpa's Perspective collection, is nearing completion in Mermaid Beach.

Construction is planned to start in the first quarter of 2024 and be completed in the third quarter of 2025.

Sherpa launch Perspective Nexus, Palm Beach apartments

Builder developer 5Point Projects is aiming to set a new benchmark of luxury living on the Palm Beach beachfront with the reveal of their $60 million project, Ophira Palm Beach.

Ophira Palm Beach, just seven full-floor apartments and a two-level penthouse, is the only off the plan beachfront apartment development in market on Jefferson Lane, which has become the southern Gold Coast's millionaire's row in recent years.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221546]

Each full-floor apartment will offer between 290 sqm to 317 sqm of internal and outdoor living space. The living areas have been designed to take in as much of the ocean views as possible, through the floor-to-ceiling windows and the full-width balconies that open from the living space.

The apartments have three bedrooms, each with an ensuite, as well as a study and a multi-purpose room. The kitchens feature stone benchtops, a tucked away scullery, and wine storage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221548]

Ophira’s two-level penthouse will deliver an expansive 637 sqm of living space with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and its own private outdoor entertainment area featuring a pool, spa, sundeck with teppanyaki bar, and a sunken lounge with a fire pit.

Ophira Palm Beach residents will enjoy a sanctuary of calm with shared amenities on level one including an exclusive plunge pool and sun deck plus a communal garden which will be a focal point for relaxation and wellbeing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221545]

5Point have a long track record of constructing some of the most premium projects in Palm Beach.

“We are salivating over delivering Ophira to the market because of its sublime absolute beachfront location over two blocks at a time when there just aren’t any beachfront sites in the market,” said 5Point director Damian Dove.

“There is also incredible demand in Palm Beach for luxury apartment living but just not the stock or the capacity to build.

“We are fortunate that we are in a position to build immediately and the inquiries for Ophira despite having little marketing attention until now has been quite remarkable.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221553]

Dove says Ophira has been highly anticipated by the local market, close to the cosmopolitan heart of Palm Beach, combined with its spacious living and the supreme privacy.

Jamie Bourke and Dylan Molloy of ARC Project Marketing said Ophira presents a unique opportunity for downsizers looking for high-end product where there are very limited opportunities.

"Not only is there nothing like this in the market, but we have gone to extraordinary lengths to create a project that will be an absolute icon for the southern Gold Coast,”&nbsp;Molloy said.

“5Point have infused Ophira with lavish coastal elegance, taking the best of beachfront living back to its roots with each of these residences offering the ultimate in privacy where homeowners can truly immerse themselves in this beautiful part of the Gold Coast.”

Prices start from $6.35 million.

5Point to set new Palm Beach apartment benchmark with Ophira Palm Beach

Family-owned, Gold Coast property developer <a href="/developers/lacey-group">Lacey Group</a> has completed its latest residential apartment project, the $36 million The Monroe Palm Beach.

All 33 apartments over nine storeys were sold prior to <a href="/news/qld/lacey-group-appoint-hutchinsons-to-build-sold-out-gold-coast-apartment-developments-the-monroe-and-del-ray">commencement of construction by Hutchinson Builders</a>.

“We are delighted to have delivered yet another collection of high-quality residences for our buyers who share our passion for this unique pocket of the Gold Coast,” <a href="/developers/lacey-group">Lacey Group</a> Director Adam Lacey said.

“Construction is officially complete, and we are starting to welcome residents to their new homes at The Monroe.”

<img alt="The Monroe" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c531063d-eacc-4860-9155-522a6b4e7c98" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-01%20at%2011.41.29%20am.png?VersionId=qA.mPWWqB0quJgAHBig6EoBj.6BlZDrD" />

The Monroe marks Lacey Group’s third completed project on the Gold Coast, with Lacey Group now underway on the delivery of the sold-out Del Ray apartments at Kirra, which are on track for completion in early 2024.

"Construction on The Del Ray is ongoing, and we are also looking at further opportunities on the southern Gold Coast as these two projects come to fruition”, Lacey added.

Lacey Group complete The Monroe, Palm Beach apartment development

Gold Coast developer Sherpa Property Group has lodged a new development application for its <a href="/new-apartments/perspective-nexus">Perspective Nexus development in Palm Beach</a>.

The code-assessable project on a 1,583sqm site at <a href="/new-apartments/perspective-nexus">949-953 Gold Coast Highway</a>, will rise nine storeys and deliver just 32 apartments, including two half-floor penthouses and three skyhomes with their own private rooftops.

Sherpa’s latest development is the company’s 12th for the Gold Coast region and comes on the heels of a reimagination of the site which is located adjacent to Dune Café and overlooks the Palm Beach Parklands.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=232526]

The proposed development is the product of a detailed design process led by HAL Architects that has taken into account the requirements of the Gold Coast city plan and the expectations of the local community.

Council's approval for the original development application was overturned by an appeal in August, an outcome that Sherpa Founder Christie Leet took as an opportunity rather than a setback.

We are excited to launch our new development in the coming months which has been carefully designed to be the best code assessable project in this world-class location,” said&nbsp;Leet.

"It's a superb site, next to the beach, Currumbin Creek, and the Pirate Park, so our mission was to make beach living even better.

"The Gold Coast, especially this Palm Beach location, can deliver a lifestyle that is the envy of the world so we wanted to facilitate and enhance that lifestyle."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=231830]

Sherpa had initially sought a 14-level project, but they've gone back to the drawing board with its latest proposal.

“After taking onboard community feedback from the original design, we are now submitting an entirely new proposal that has been scaled back to nine levels to ensure it is a code assessable development,”&nbsp; Leet added.

“We are deeply committed to delivering a landmark residential project that provides the best beachside living at Palm Beach and we are looking forward to progressing the project once approvals have been granted.”

Buyers who previously signed up for apartments in Nexus will be given the first opportunity to purchase residences in the new development, which Sherpa expects to account for a large number of pre-sales.

“Many of our earlier buyers have shown faith in our vision for the site and, as a result, we are expecting a number of sales to be secured straight out of the gate prior to market launch,”&nbsp;Leet said.

“We will be working with the original buyers first, before releasing the project to the public in the coming weeks.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=232452]

The development will deliver a suite of luxury two, three and four-bedroom apartments, ranging from 112 sqm to 661 sqm. The apartments on the upper levels will offer views of Currumbin Alley 
and beyond to the Pacific Ocean.

The luxury development is primed for owner occupiers and downsizers who will enjoy unrivalled residents’ recreational and work-from home amenities.

“Our aim is to create a development that offers spacious designs with the best floorplans available on the Gold Coast,”&nbsp; Leet said.

“The plans are in line with community feedback and deliver a more boutique look with enhanced design elements such as increased planting and greenery to ensure effortless integration with the suburb's surrounds.”

Perspective Nexus will introduce a wide range of luxurious communal amenities for residents, including a dedicated wellness space with features such as a magnesium spa, outdoor kitchen, sauna, hot and cold pools and steam room along with a wellness garden for residents to embrace the beachside surrounds.

The new plans reveal a host of adjustments, including the addition of more than 70 car parks to the site for both residents and visitors – exceeding requirements to ensure owners and their guests have access to ample onsite parking.

Additional amenities and features of Perspective Nexus will include an electric car charging station, individual apartment storage, car wash bay and a parcel delivery storage including a cold store.

In view of the project being code assessable, the company anticipates development approval will be granted by February.

Construction is planned to start in the first quarter of 2024 for completion in the third quarter of 2025.

Palm Beach is renowned for its pristine beaches, vibrant dining scene, and natural beauty. Set to be nestled in the heart of the coastal community is Eva Tenth Avenue, a small boutique development that weaves together the tapestry of the evolving story of the area.

Chippendale set out to offer the ideal environment for families seeking to establish lasting roots and become part of the fabric of Palm Beach.

EVA Tenth Avenue: Where coastal living meets lasting roots

Palm Beach's dress circle Jefferson Lane is set to receive an injection of more luxury apartments.

The beachfront strip in the south of the Gold Coast has been busy in the last few years, with the likes of Graya, Lacey Group, and Daascon all developing on the exclusive strip.

The latest plans are by the Brisbane-based Green Leaves childcare boss Michael Hovey, who spent $6.35 million on the home on 597 sqm in December. Hovey also owns next door, which was bought for $3.5 million in 2017, making the amalgamated lot 1,194 sqm.

He's proposing just 10 apartments across a 12-level building, which would see it climb 42.9 metres, well above the building height allowance of 29 metres.

<img alt="71 Jefferson Lane" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="dc4855e2-9b30-4850-8f4f-56aa2ee040a8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-19%20at%203.25.13%20pm.png?VersionId=rYWh6MB0QTjPBvh4RcMlW7QaaDc.PdRv" />

Town planner UPS argue however that, because the project is&nbsp;located in an ‘Urban neighbourhood’, the City Plan sets out provisions for an increase in height if development can demonstrate achievement of a number of architectural and contextual principles set out within the strategic framework.

Local architecture firm Plus were engaged to design the project, which they write in their documents filed to the Gold Coast City Council, "offers luxurious and thoughtfully designed living with breathtaking panoramic ocean views."

"The architecture of the building is designed to mimic the sculptural forms of sand shaped by water, with car ved elements providing relief and protection to the apartments, while also grounding the building into to the earth. The apartments are oriented towards the north-eastern aspect, with the sculptural forms peeling away to provide uninterrupted coastal views.

<img alt="71 Jefferson Lane" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="83810233-449e-4ae6-8f91-e2846c70a1ca" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-19%20at%203.25.19%20pm.png?VersionId=6Hy86rvoCWzQv6UpbaDr4PCVohws_AB0" />

"The building is visually divided into three horizontal sections, the lower levels reflecting the solidity of rocky shores and solid earth, while the typical apartment levels reflect the fluidity and delicacy of sand."

Each apartment spans a whole floor, apart from the split-level penthouse which spreads across levels 11 and 12.

The ground floor apartment has 304 sqm of internal area and a 47 sqm balcony, while the floorplate for apartments across levels one to nine is 347 sqm of internal living space and a 41 sqm balcony.

Each will have four bedrooms, one a master suite with walk in wardrobe and ensuite. There's a multi-purpose room, wine storage, and a butler's pantry in the kitchen.

<img alt="71 Jefferson Lane" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4345c74e-eedd-4c87-97f4-71362957a4a1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-19%20at%203.25.09%20pm.png?VersionId=nnf_dB5mJAVaqqynFdDAi8GMB5U6q9Dy" />

The sprawling penthouse has four bedrooms on the first level, a gym and a library. A spiral staircase leads to the second level where there's the main kitchen living and dining area, a fifth bedroom, a study, a mutli-purpose room, and a wine room. Both levels have balconies.

The upper ground floor will home the resident amenity which will include a&nbsp;swimming pool with spa and wet deck, a gym, steam room and sauna, dining pods, outdoor shower, surf rack storage, and a fire pit area.

"Overall, the twelve storey residence at Palm Beach along Jefferson Lane is a stunning example of luxury architecture and design, offering residents a sense of exclusivity and privacy, as well as stunning coastal views and easy beach access," Plus wrote.

There's been plenty happening on Jefferson Lane in recent years.&nbsp;Homebuilder turned luxury apartment developer Graya <a href="/news/qld/graya-unveil-second-gold-coast-apartment-project">are set to launch Kloud</a>&nbsp;which they are expecting to be approved imminently.

The Lacey Group are currently building The Monroe, after its sell-out by Pezet Matheson. The Lacey Group has previously developed The Jefferson on the strip before.

Aurelia is currently on the market by Samy Saad's Daascon. Prices start from $6.35 million for their whole-floor apartments.

Seven Group media heir Ryan Stokes secured approval for a <a href="/news/qld/seven-boss-ryan-stokes-lodges-plans-for-palm-beach-apartment-development-akuna">boutique project Akuna</a> at 39-41 Jefferson Lane, but no sign of a project launch there.
