The residential transformation of St Kilda Road is set to continue into with more new apartment plans for the sought-after boulevard.

Wing Tai Asia has lodged plans for a major residential tower at 464-466 St Kilda Road, replacing the former VACC House with an 18-storey mixed-use development designed around a retained heritage podium and a sculpted contemporary tower.

The proposal, prepared under Victoria’s Significant Residential Development with Affordable Housing pathway, would deliver 325 apartments and ground-floor retail across the prominent 4,653 sqm boulevard site in Melbourne’s St Kilda Road North Precinct.

The project centres on the adaptive reuse of the site’s heritage-listed VACC Building, an eight-storey office designed by Bernard Evans that has occupied the address for decades. Planning documents state the development would involve “carefully dismantling and conserving off-site the original metal fabric of the podium visible from St Kilda Road,” before reinstating it as the defining frontage of the new scheme.

Above the restored podium, Wing Tai is proposing a curvilinear residential tower. The scheme includes 172 one-bedroom apartments, 63 two-bedroom apartments, 66 three-bedroom apartments, and 24 four-bedroom apartments, alongside two ground-floor food and beverage tenancies fronting St Kilda Road.

The tower has been designed with substantial articulation and variable setbacks to minimise perceived bulk and maintain view corridors along the boulevard. Urbis, which prepared the planning report, said the design “has been significantly articulated through a curvilinear design” with “an interplay with materials, façade expression and depth” to create visual separation and visual interest.

The proposal also includes 254 basement car spaces, landscaped pedestrian links connecting St Kilda Road and Queens Lane, and a biophilic landscape strategy featuring canopy trees, raised planters, cascading greenery and a glass oculus pool overlooking the eastern frontage.

Planning documents confirm the $270.1 million development will contribute 3 per cent of project costs to the Social Housing Growth Fund as part of the application process.

Wing Tai acquired the St Kilda Road property in 2018 alongside Abacus Property Group for $95.38 million, before later consolidating ownership of the site. The property previously served as the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce headquarters for around 60 years.

The transformation of the St Kilda Rd boulevard is already beginning to materialise, with a number of high-profile projects recently completed, launched, or approaching launch as developers continue to back the long-term appeal of the precinct.

Among the most notable recent completions is Louise by Samuel Property Group, just off the strip on Queens Lane, the same pocket Hirsch &amp; Faigen recently launched The Queensbury. Mirvac is too on the same street with The Albertine, which is approaching completion.

Dexus recently secured approval for its slice of St Kilda Road, while Gurner also has approved plans for the precinct.

Wing Tai unveils 325-apartment St Kilda Road tower on former VACC House site

Malaysian developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> is the latest to jump into St Leonards booming Transport Oriented Development precinct.

The developer, which has previously delivered Sapphire by the Gardens apartment development in Melbourne, identified the Atchison Street site in 2023. It filed a Scoping Report around 12 months ago, and now has revealed the designs for the new&nbsp;40-storey mixed-use tower.

The State Significant Development Application covers <a href="https://next-portal.urban.com.au/projects/14650/summary">20-22 Atchison Street</a>, a 1,374 sqm site positioned between St Leonards Station and the new Crows Nest Metro station.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the project would deliver 181 apartments, above a four-storey commercial podium, five basement levels, and new public domain works along Mitchell Street. The apartment mix comprises 35 one-bedroom apartments, 39 one-bedroom-plus-study apartments, 85 two-bedroom apartments, and 22 three-bedroom residences.

The proposal has been lodged as a shop-top housing development under the NSW Government’s TOD planning pathway, which allows increased density around key transport infrastructure. The site sits within the recently rezoned Crows Nest Accelerated TOD Precinct.

<img alt="First look: SP Setia targets St Leonards skyline with 40-storey TOD tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b799673d-48e2-46b0-801a-0e33a9330100" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/atchinson%20site.png?VersionId=dPh0UfwfaHpbFL1R7H1cbZNbIW0CHbCC" />

SP Setia acquired the Atchison Street site as part of its continued expansion into the Australian apartment market. In comments made to City &amp; Country (The Edge Malaysia) in 2023, SP Setia President and CEO Datuk Choong Kai Wai described the acquisition as “a strategic move” aligned with the group’s post-pandemic market recovery strategy.

“Our target for this exceptional development is local and overseas buyers, including first-home buyers, downsizers and investors,” Choong said.

The tower has been designed as a slender vertical form rising from a mixed-use podium, with COX Architecture positioning the development as a response to the evolving St Leonards and Crows Nest skyline.

“The purpose of the project is to facilitate the delivery of high-quality housing at a strategically located site and deliver a built tower outcome that is consistent with the desired future character of St Leonards and aligns with the TOD controls,” the design report stated.

<img alt="First look: SP Setia targets St Leonards skyline with 40-storey TOD tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b1a85eee-76f7-436c-a6da-73ba827b9b13" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/atchinson%20entry.png?VersionId=dA9jHGPMcm.dDbwk4QfxqWiY5bfh3UVt" />

The podium would incorporate retail uses fronting Atchison Street, commercial tenancies, landscaped communal areas, and pedestrian improvements along Mitchell Street. Vehicle access and loading would be consolidated via Atchison Lane.

Residents would have access to more than 665 sqm of communal indoor and outdoor spaces, while the development proposes 96 parking spaces across five basement levels.

The proposal also includes a commitment for 10 per cent of residential floor space to be allocated toward affordable housing through a monetary contribution.

COX said the tower form responds directly to the emerging high-density character of the precinct while seeking to maximise solar access, cross ventilation, and outlook from apartments.

“The building is orientated towards north,” the Apartment Design Guide compliance report noted, adding that the tower’s slim form was driven by the constrained inner-urban site dimensions.

The design also incorporates landscaped setbacks and communal open space at podium level, intended to soften the interface with surrounding streets and improve pedestrian amenity.

The project adds to a growing wave of redevelopment proposals reshaping St Leonards and Crows Nest following the opening of the Sydney Metro City line and the NSW Government’s push for higher-density housing around major transport nodes.

Last week Stockland filed plans just down the road. They want to build a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/601-pacific-highway-st-leonards-nsw-2065">52-storey tower on Pacific Highway</a>.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/urban-property-group">Urban Property Group</a> has revealed plans for a new mixed-use tower at 10 Dangar Street, Wickham, advancing a proposal that would reshape the southern gateway to Newcastle’s city centre with one of the city’s tallest residential buildings.

The State Significant Development proposal, now on exhibition, seeks approval for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/bowline-10-dangar-street-wickham-nsw-2293">43-storey tower</a> immediately adjacent to the Newcastle Interchange. The project would deliver around 200 apartments, including 42 affordable housing dwellings, alongside 99 co-living units, a 171-room hotel, retail space, and new public domain integrated through the site.

The scheme marks a significant escalation of plans previously approved for the site. Urban Property Group took over the prominent 2,904 sqm parcel, where excavation and demolition had already commenced under an earlier consent for a 14-storey mixed-use development.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="58a96dd9-407f-4d20-86b4-94e4bfeef74b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20podium.png?VersionId=LGlf08pdFGAZDzvx_CXC4XakHNZRuEE0" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, the tower has been conceived as a landmark transit-oriented development anchored to the Newcastle Interchange precinct. The proposal includes 245 build-to-sell apartments across a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom residences, as well as two penthouses. Fifteen apartments and one operational unit are earmarked for NDIS housing. The co-living component would add a further 99 units, while the podium would accommodate retail uses and hotel facilities.

SJB said the site presents “a valuable opportunity to anchor the precinct by setting the standard for design, active ground planes and character at the key southern gateway.”

The architecture responds directly to the site’s position beside major transport infrastructure and within one of Newcastle’s fastest-evolving urban renewal precincts. The tower form sits above a sculpted podium designed to frame new public spaces, including a through-site pedestrian link connecting Station Street to Hannell Street, landscaped plazas, and activated retail edges.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a7bd6ff0-f7db-4ce8-a6dc-ea56e72c6149" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20lanne.png?VersionId=xzf39VADyhj7zBQY2I9fx9vI62u2tuSb" />

The design report describes the project as part of the broader transition of Wickham into “a vibrant, high-quality mixed-use urban precinct” that leverages proximity to the station, open space, and regional connectivity.

A detailed public art strategy has also been prepared for the development. The strategy positions the project as “a transit-oriented development of state significance at the gateway to Newcastle’s city centre” and outlines a series of integrated artworks responding to Newcastle’s industrial and transport heritage.

Creative Road’s curatorial framework for the project, titled Unveil, draws on “stratified surfaces, carved volumes, and light-filled apertures” while referencing Newcastle’s transformation from an industrial city into a contemporary education and technology hub.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="77a882bb-14b1-4d28-99ff-9438e39508c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20site.png?VersionId=cevgo_vN0eKPK78P8YcEu3mKPLkpFqE7" />

The proposal is being advanced through the NSW Housing Delivery Authority pathway after being declared State Significant Development in June 2025. The accompanying scoping report states the development aims to “maximise the site’s proximity to the Newcastle Interchange by delivering transit-oriented development” while increasing housing supply and affordable housing provision within the Newcastle LGA.

Urban Property Group’s plans align with the long-term strategic vision established under the Wickham Master Plan, which identified the interchange precinct as suitable for substantial uplift in height and density. The current proposal would significantly intensify that vision, positioning the tower among the tallest developments proposed for Newcastle.

The site sits immediately north of the Newcastle Interchange, bounded by Dangar Street, Hannell Street, and Charles Street. It is surrounded by a rapidly growing cluster of residential towers and mixed-use projects that have emerged following the completion of the light rail and transport interchange.

Bottega House has completed settlement of a landmark riverfront site in Macquarie Street, St Lucia, representing its first major Brisbane development.&nbsp;

Positioned on the banks of the Brisbane River, the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/180-macquarie-street-st-lucia-qld-4067">premium site at 180 Macquarie Street</a> features uninterrupted river frontage in one of Brisbane’s most tightly held residential precincts.&nbsp;

The proposed development, currently under assessment with Brisbane City Council, has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-studio">Plus Studio</a> with interiors by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/mim-design">Mim Design</a> and will deliver a boutique collection of premium residences positioned specifically for owner occupiers and downsizers.&nbsp;

The residences are set to redefine luxury apartment living in the area, with a focus on architectural quality, refined finishes, landscape integration and elevated amenities including curated wellness facilities, resort-style pools and recreation spaces rarely seen in the local market.&nbsp;

Exclusive sales for the project will be led by Keenan &amp; Byrne, ahead of an anticipated launch later this year.&nbsp;

Bottega House Managing Director Nick Malloch said the project reflects the group’s ambition to deliver a highly curated residential offering within one of Brisbane’s most tightly held precincts.&nbsp;

“This is an incredibly rare riverfront opportunity and one we have approached with a long-term perspective,” Malloch said.&nbsp;

“Our vision from the outset was to create a boutique collection of residences that feel more like private homes than traditional apartments, with generous proportions, refined finishes and exceptional amenity throughout."

Malloch says there is a&nbsp;lack of premium owner-occupier stock of this quality in the market, particularly for downsizers wanting space, privacy and a true lifestyle offering without compromise.&nbsp;

"Demand is expected to be strong given the scarcity of premium riverfront opportunities of this nature within Brisbane’s inner-west."&nbsp;

The arrival of the first piling rig officially marks the commencement of construction at SIERA’s new beachside apartment development, Exhale, in Northcliffe.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/exhale-surfers-paradise-8-enderley-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Exhale</a>, a glass-encased tower featuring 54 large-scale apartments at 8 Enderley Avenue, is SIERA’s third Gold Coast development. It follows the recently completed PIPIS Bilinga beachfront project, which achieved suburb-record prices, and the soon-to-be-completed Chevron Island development, Tapestry.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=359603]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/siera">SIERA</a> Founder and Managing Director Brent Thompson said the arrival of the piling rig represented a significant milestone for the development, which is scheduled for completion in late 2028.

Over the next month, around 260 piles are expected to be installed as work progresses on the basement structure. The building is anticipated to rise above ground level early next year, before unveiling its sculptural glass curtain wall, developed in collaboration with specialist façade engineers.

“The façade was designed to maximise panoramic coastal views while creating a distinctive architectural identity,” Thompson said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=355935]

Designed by BDA Architecture, Exhale will comprise just 54 two- and three-bedroom residences across 26 levels, a level of low-density living rarely delivered in this beachside pocket between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach.

The project has been conceived as a resident-only building, with no short-stay accommodation permitted. SIERA says the model is intended to appeal to long-term owner-occupiers rather than transient holiday demand.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=361052]

Residences have been designed with large-format layouts and expansive glazing, with most apartments featuring more than 30 metres of glass frontage to maximise natural light and ocean views.

The amenity offering spans two levels and centres on wellness and lifestyle, including a heated magnesium pool, sauna, yoga and Pilates studio, gymnasium, private dining facilities, cinema lounge, and dedicated surfcraft storage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=359607]

More than half of the apartments have already sold. SIERA has also opened a sales gallery for Exhale at its Chevron Island commercial premises, near its Tapestry tower and the site of its second Chevron Island apartment development, which is slated to launch in early 2027.

Penthouse Listing

The near 500 sqm in The Harrington Collection, the development in The Rocks by Golden Age Group and Hannas, has hit the market for $40 million.

The Harrington Collection consists of 58 premium apartments and terraces, as well as the 483 sqm penthouse, which spans two levels, gazing upon iconic views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House and Circular Quay.

The penthouse also includes its own 140 sqm private rooftop terrace. Construction on the project wrapped at the end of 2021.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5946 project_image_fid=195399]

The sprawling penthouse features three-bedrooms, all with their own ensuite, plus a multipurpose room on the upper level with the ability to be customised as a media room, home office or fourth bedroom according to the buyer’s desire.

The living spaces are equally generous, encompassing an expansive lounge area, dining space and fireplace, kitchen complete with premium Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances and full butler’s pantry, and a private lift to carry residents up to their private entertainment space where a wet bar, barbecue, landscaped gardens and a spa awaits.

The $350 million Harrington Collection by Hannas and Golden Age Group is one of the only large scale mixed-use residential projects to have gained government approval in the precinct in the last eight years, offering buyers a vanishingly rare opportunity to secure contemporary luxury in one of the city’s most esteemed pockets.

Highland has been appointed as lead sales agents on the jaw-dropping penthouse which officially hits the market on Thursday the 14th of April.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5946 project_image_fid=195402]

“We are very eager to open the doors to The Harrington Collection penthouse so that prospective buyers can experience first hand the level of luxury and vantage on offer,” David Highland said.

“This penthouse is the absolute pinnacle of luxury apartment living actualised among world class views. Never again will a product of this calibre be delivered to such an iconic Sydney destination, positioning the Harrington Penthouse as one of most exclusive residential addresses Sydney was ever welcomed,” he added.

Designed by international design firm FJMT, The Harrington has been influenced by the&nbsp;heritage elements of the Harrington Street site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5946 project_image_fid=195403]

The $350 million Harrington collection encompasses 58 one, two and three-bedroom apartments atop a ground floor collection of terrace homes delivered in two design collections – a contemporary Manhattan Soho range, and a historic collection of refurbished terraces that originally occupied the site.

A selection of the display apartments within the development have been furnished and styled by Australia’s leading interior designer, David Hicks.

“This spate of high-end apartment sales that we have facilitated really underpins the rising trend towards luxury apartments as a primary residence,” Highland added.

“When you pair premium location with the highest standard of residential design, it becomes hard to conceive a better home than The Harrington Collection penthouse. This particular address merges seclusion with connectivity in a way that few projects can offer. The Rocks is a bustling area filled with character, without the raucous nightlife. The Harrington Collection is perfectly positioned so that its residents can slip in and out of the nearby amenities in complete privacy.”

Construction on the Harrington Collection is now complete, with 75 per cent of the 58 residences already sold to a blend of local business entrepreneurs and holiday homemakers.

Inside Hannas and Golden Age Group’s The Rocks’ $40 million penthouse 

One of the biggest trends in 2021 was developers going above and beyond to make sure their development was crowned by a luxury penthouse, with the majority expecting to see a sale in the double digits.

Given the shift in demand from one-bedroom holiday makers to the three-bedroom plus owner-occupier market, developers are ensuring there&#39;s high end penthouses or sub-penthouses, even in high density projects.

We&#39;ve had a look at some of the best penthouses on the market from the south of the Gold Coast in Coolangatta to Surfers Paradise and Chevron Island.

<h2>Sea, Burleigh Heads 
Developer: Forme 
Price: $16&nbsp;million</h2>

[smartcode_project:default project_id=99968 project_image_fid=188291]

There&#39;s a $16&nbsp;million price tag on the two-level penthouse crowning Forme&#39;s Koichi Takada-designed Sea, facing Burleigh Beach on The Esplanade.

The two-level space, with&nbsp;825&nbsp;sqm of space, one of the largest produced in Burleigh,&nbsp;has&nbsp;six&nbsp;bedrooms,&nbsp;six&nbsp;bathrooms, a gym,&nbsp;office and&nbsp;library, multiple kitchens and entertainment areas and a theatre.

There&#39;s a staircase leading to the exclusive rooftop, kitted out with a swimming pool,&nbsp;sun deck and alfresco&nbsp;kitchen.

<a href="/new-apartments/isabel-by-mosaic-96-the-esplanade-burleigh-heads"><img alt="" height="792" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/penthouse_pool_forme.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

&quot;It&#39;s&nbsp;our best penthouse ever produced&quot;, Forme managing director David Calvisi says.

Forme has had great success in the luxury apartment space, selling the penthouse in their nearby Norfolk, Goodwin Terrace development for $9 million, the most expensive apartment south of Mermaid Beach&nbsp;to settle. That&#39;s about half the size of the Sea penthouse on offer.

Koichi Takada also&nbsp;handled&nbsp;the design of Norfolk, which was a hit across the country. The curved facade even became one of the famous Bondi-based Aquabumps prints, going viral on Instagram and being featured by design blog Dezeen.

<h2>Project: Emerson Kirra 
Developer: Hirsch &amp; Faigen 
Price: $8 million</h2>

Emerson at Kirra Beach, the second Gold Coast development by the Melbourne-based developer Hirsch &amp; Faigen, is crowned by an impressive $8 million, full floor space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106646 project_image_fid=187937]

Spanning 494&nbsp;sqm including terracing on the 14th level, the penthouse will have four bedrooms, including a&nbsp;master suite with walk in wardrobe and an ensuite with double shower and double vanity.

It will feature over three&nbsp;metre ceilings&nbsp;and windowed walls offering unrivalled views across the ocean and distant Gold Coast skyline, as well as two living spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106646 project_image_fid=187934]

<h2>Project: Glasshouse, Burleigh Heads 
Developer: Spyre</h2>

The South East Queensland developer&nbsp;Spyre Group&nbsp;is set to create one of the Gold Coast&#39;s most expensive boutique apartment projects.

Glasshouse, a collection of just three house-sized apartments, will be crowned with a multi-level penthouse, featuring its own private rooftop with swimming pool.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104773 project_image_fid=189487]

The tiered rooftop, with spa and outdoor entertaining area, is one of the most impressive ever proposed.

&quot;The three hyper-luxury apartments are designed to frame the panorama of rolling sands and the Coral Sea that stretches north from this place of unrivalled aspect and outlook,&quot; lead architect bureau^proberts noted.

<h2>Project: The AU, Surfers Paradise 
Developer: ASF Group</h2>

ASF Group netted a near $9 million buyer for one of their tri-level penthouses. There are two penthouses in the boutique block of just 16 on The Esplanade, just across the road from the beach.

<a href="/new-apartments/the-au-52a-the-esplanade-surfers-paradise"><img alt="" height="800" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/the_au_pool_penthouse.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

Offering nearly 480 sqm of space, ASF Group offer a number of customisation options for the penthouse. There&#39;s potential for the third level to become an ocean view master suite, although the plans are already for four bedrooms.

ASF Group Marketing Director Daniel Fang said there&#39;s options for a yoga or meditation room, with full-width views of the beach. That or a cinema room, or even a private gym, are other options.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6762 project_image_fid=188843]

The penthouse starts from level 17 and has a&nbsp;separate&nbsp;private lift within to access the higher levels.&nbsp;Offering 16m frontage directly facing the ocean,&nbsp;the penthouses feature four bedrooms with the second level having the option of including a lap pool.

<h2>Project: Chevron One 
Developer: Bensons Property Group 
Price: $15 million</h2>

Late last year the Melbourne-based Bensons Property Group released their higher levels to the market of their Chevron Island tower, Chevron One.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=174033]

To be the only true high-rise tower on Chevron One having been approved before stricter height limits were set on the exclusive Gold Coast island, Chevron One will soar 41 levels in to the sky.

The special penthouse crowning the development isn&#39;t actually for sale. That two-level space,&nbsp;spanning levels 40 and 41 with&nbsp;nearly 2,000 sqm of living space, the Gold Coast&#39;s largest ever penthouse, will be&nbsp;retained by&nbsp;Bensons&nbsp;Property Group&#39;s Chairman&nbsp;Elias Jreissati.

But the subpenthouse, spanning nearly 1,000 sqm of space, is up for grabs. Priced at just shy of $15 million, the penthouse will have five bedrooms, five bathrooms and garaging for four cars.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=174034]

<h2>Project: 123OBR 
Developer: Bottega Group</h2>

The boutique 13-apartment Broadbeach development, 123OBR, is capped with a sprawling two-level penthouse, with 529 sqm of internal living space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31666 project_image_fid=184148]

Bottega Group Director Nick Malloch says&nbsp;123OBR&rsquo;s penthouse is the ultimate experience of luxury beachside living on the Gold Coast.

&ldquo;123OBR&rsquo;s penthouse is a unique opportunity in that every element of the design has been carefully curated to speak to the opulence and intrinsic beauty of Gold Coast living at its very best,&rdquo; says Malloch. Elegant gallery wall corridors, floor to ceiling glazing in the living and dining space, a feature fireplace and oversized master retreat complete the experience.

<h2>Project: Miles Residences, Kirra Beach 
Developer: KTQ 
Price: $16.75 million</h2>

Last year KTQ sold out Miles Residences, all 118 apartments in their first stage of the $350 million redevelopment of the Kirra Beach Hotel. But they saved something special for 2022.

They&#39;ve just launched the two-level penthouse, with a price tag of $16.75 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27575 project_image_fid=187456]

Sandy Hill Penthouse in Melbourne's bayside suburb of Sandringham offers some of the most varied amenities within just two kilometres from its sought-after Bay Road location.

The project is being delivered by Blueprint Projects, with design by architecture firm Watson Young Architects and construction by Guestbuild.

<img alt="" height="813" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/sandy_hill_penthouse_2.jpg" width="1200">

The amenities start immediately without leaving the building, with an IGA conveniently located on the ground level of the block.

Heading east, or right, out of the front doors down Bay Road, immediately next door is the lush Bay Road Reserve and Bay Road Heathland Sanctuary, the latter protected by the City of Sandringham council as it is one of the last remaining areas of the iconic "Sandringham Flora" that once covered Melbourne's south east.

Just over 500 metres away is Fitness First, although there's a resident's only fully-equipped gym and infinity pool in the block. 

<img alt="" height="724" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/sandy_hill_penthouse_3.jpg" width="1200">

Further east but still on Bay Road is Bad Shepherd Brewing Co., on the corner of Bay and Reserve Road, which is just 1.3 kilometres away.

At the end of Bay Road is Westfield Southland which homes around 400 retailers.

Coming out of Sandy Hill Penthouse and turning left to the west there's a 7-eleven on the way to a short two-kilometre trip to Sandringham Station, which from there is less than a 30-minute commute into the city centre.

That's located at the south end of Sandringham Beach where there's a string of near beachside restaurants and cafe's including The Sandy, Port of Call and Black Squirrel Cafe.

Just one street behind Sandy Hill Penthouse is Sandringham College, more greenery with Merindah Park which is a few minutes away you'll find a mini golf course and a golf driving range.

The Gold Coast's first penthouse has been sold at auction.
Six bidders competed for the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-apartment-qld-surfers+paradise-131241542" target="_blank">four-bedroom apartment</a> in Surfers Paradise’s heritage listed Kinkabool building.
The 10-storey Hanlan Street building was described as a “giant” when it was built in 1960.
<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/2019/6/28/surfers%201.jpg" alt="">
The four bedroom skyhome fetched $450,000 under the hammer last Saturday.
The Kinkabool building has recently had a makeover.
Surfers Paradise First National agent Bob Rollington told the Gold Coast Bulletin the Queensland Heritage Register lists the building as a place of significance because it was the beginning of residential towers on the Coast.
“Built in 1959-1960 at Surfers Paradise, the home-unit building known as Kinkabool was the Gold Coast’s first high-rise and one of Queensland’s earliest, built shortly after Torbreck was completed in Brisbane in 1960,” the description reads.
The report said the building was the starting point for developments of its type, which kicked off tourism in Queensland and gave the Gold Coast an international reputation.
“Kinkabool also illustrates a significant aspect of the evolving character of the quintessential Australian beach holiday,” the site stated.

The penthouse at Darnley Hall, Elizabeth Bay has returned to the market.
It was previously briefly listed by Paul Longmuir and his wife Elain Wei Ah Kwan in 2016 with $10 million hopes.
<a href="https://www.allhomes.com.au/sale/12-12-onslow-avenue-elizabeth-bay-inner-sydney-176372396" target="_blank">The international style penthouse</a> last sold nine years ago for $8.1 million.
It was one of the homes where the former Treasurer Joe Hockey signalled forced divestment after the owners came forward in an amnesty on supposed purchases that breached our FIRB laws. 
The Longmuirs have since spent $16 million buying in Bellevue Hill, fully complying with foreign investment rules, and it seems their initial purchase has now been signed off as ridgy didge too.
The penthouse renovation was overseen by the interior designer Tonka Andjelkovic.
