Repeat buyers are one of the strongest measures of confidence in any apartment development.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/era-newcastle-west-124-126-bull-street-newcastle-west-nsw-2302">ERA</a> in Newcastle West, some purchasers are returning to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gwh">GWH</a> after living at the developer's One Apartments. Their decision to purchase again was driven by the quality of life they found after moving into their first GWH home.

Keith Wilton had spent years living in a house in East Maitland before deciding it was time for a change. Apartment living had always been on his radar, but he was selective about what he wanted.

"I had some boxes I wanted to tick," he says.

Keith points to the open-plan design, generous outdoor areas and considered inclusions as key reasons One Apartments worked for him.

“One of those things was a nice indoor open plan area, but also I wanted a nice outdoor open area that I could entertain on in summer or Christmases or birthdays,” he says.

He also found value in the smaller details, from integrated appliances to shared resident spaces including the pool, cinema and rooftop areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356818]

After comparing several developments, he chose One Apartments because of GWH's longstanding local reputation and his own experience working with the developer on a commercial project more than a decade earlier.

"I knew that they were local, that the quality of the build was going to be up there. I'd looked at other apartment complexes around and close by, and I just knew that here was a better decision location wise."

Today, Keith says the move has completely changed how he experiences Newcastle.

"I enjoy living in this location because it's more of a lifestyle change. That Newcastle city living where you can walk to restaurants and bars and even beaches and parks and even shopping across the road."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356828]

Beyond the location, he says it's the sense of community that has surprised him most.

"Everyone loves living here because they chose to live here, but everyone looks out for each other. It's a real great community feel here."

For Aimee and Lyle Goodman, the journey started almost by chance.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tsioMLcnjas?si=zq-ys3JuWpfa5hFv" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

The couple happened to be having coffee in Newcastle when they noticed the site where One Apartments was about to begin construction.

"We were aware GWH was planning a development," Aimee says. "We made one phone call and things moved pretty quickly after that."

As busy business owners, they initially thought apartment living would simply reduce the maintenance that came with larger homes. Instead, it fundamentally changed how they spent time together.

"We actually catch up more as a family now," Aimee says.

"We've had homes with big yards and lots of space, but everyone ended up in different rooms. Here we'll have dinner together, the kids can play, and we spend far more quality time together."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356829]

Lyle says their confidence came from GWH's reputation within Newcastle's building industry.

"I know people who've worked across different apartment projects, and whenever GWH came up the feedback was always the same. They're rock solid. They're quality."

That confidence only grew throughout the buying process.

"One of the things that really impressed us with GWH was the whole process, was the communication," Lyle says. "It was consistent, it was regular, there was no problem if we had some weird questions, there was no problems in getting answers."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=351104]

Aimee says one moment stood out.

"The project actually finished on time. We realised we needed to hurry up and sell our house because everything was happening exactly when they said it would."

The positive experience at One Apartments ultimately gave all three buyers the confidence to purchase again with GWH, this time at ERA.

Their confidence reflects what many buyers are seeking in today's apartment market. Location remains important, but so too does certainty around delivery, quality and long-term liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356822]

ERA builds on those foundations with 280 one, two and three-bedroom apartments across two landmark towers in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/newcastle-west-nsw-2302">Newcastle West</a>.&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fk-australia">Fender Katsalidis</a>, the project will include more than 2,000 square metres of resident amenities, including a resort-style pool, gym, sauna, private cinema and rooftop entertaining spaces overlooking the harbour and coastline.&nbsp;

The development is also within walking distance of the Newcastle Interchange, Honeysuckle, Darby Street, the harbour foreshore, restaurants, retail and the city’s beaches, continuing the walkable lifestyle that existing GWH buyers say has transformed how they live.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356826]

For Keith, the appeal remains straightforward.

"You feel at home even before you've moved into your home."

For Aimee, the change is measured in time.

“I just felt like I had more time,” she says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=351102]

Construction at ERA is now underway, with more than half of the residences already sold and limited two and three-bedroom apartments remaining in the East Tower release. Priced from $980,000 for two-bedroom residences and $1.46 million for three-bedroom residences, buyers can secure an apartment with a 10 per cent deposit, with premium homes offering ocean views from Level 8 and harbour views from Level 10.

ERA is also backed by Resilience Insurance's 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy, providing protection against structural or waterproofing defects for 10 years after completion. The project is anticipated to be completed in early 2028.

From ONE to ERA: Why buyers are choosing GWH again in Newcastle West

Virgate Property Group is preparing to commence construction of Verdé, its new apartment development in Melbourne's Arts Precinct at Southbank, following a strong run of sales that has seen more than half of the project's 173 apartments secured.

Verdé has attracted a broad mix of first home buyers, owner-occupiers upgrading from nearby inner-city suburbs and investors, with younger owner-occupier couples aged between 28 and 45 accounting for the strongest enquiry. Many are already living in Southbank, South Melbourne, Albert Park, Port Melbourne, South Yarra and the CBD.

"Verdé is located in one of the most desirable pockets of southern Melbourne," Blair Property Group Director Darren Blair, who is managing sales at Verdé, said.

"It's within walking distance of the Arts Centre, Royal Botanic Gardens, Albert Park Lake, and Southbank's restaurants and retail. It's a great lifestyle location with strong amenity and liveability, which made it a very attractive choice for the project."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=372549]

Virgate was already familiar with the precinct, having previously delivered the successful Domain House development in neighbouring South Melbourne. That experience gave the developer confidence to acquire the Coventry Street site and continue expanding its presence in Melbourne's inner south.

"We had been keeping an eye on the site and the broader precinct for a few months before deciding to move forward with the acquisition," Virgate said.

The project was ultimately secured in 2020 following feasibility studies, planning assessments and due diligence, with the brief centred on delivering "a high-quality, considered design that feels both refined and fit for purpose."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=314259]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bruce-henderson-architects">Bruce Henderson Architects</a>, Verdé comprises 173 one, two and three-bedroom apartments priced from $599,000. The architecture is distinguished by a faceted glass façade that responds to both the site's outlook and Melbourne's changing light conditions.

According to Bruce Henderson Architects, the coloured glazing gives the building a distinctive identity while also providing privacy and solar shading, with residences oriented to capture views across the bay, city skyline and surrounding parklands.

Inside, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/designoffice">DesignOffice</a> has created interiors focused on natural light, efficient planning and enduring materials. Apartments feature engineered oak flooring, natural stone benchtops, floor-to-ceiling glazing and SMEG appliances, while a restrained material palette aims to complement the expansive outlooks rather than compete with them.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=372550]

Resident amenity has also been designed around everyday functionality rather than occasional use. Facilities include a concierge-serviced lobby, residents' lounge with fireplace, library and co-working space, gym, terrace garden with barbecue facilities, ground-floor café, and package delivery management.

The project's location continues to be one of its strongest drawcards. Positioned on Coventry Street, Verdé sits within walking distance of the National Gallery of Victoria, Arts Centre Melbourne, Royal Botanic Gardens and Albert Park Lake, while Southbank's dining precinct, Sturt Street trams and the new ANZAC Station are all nearby. The surrounding education catchment also includes Melbourne Grammar, Melbourne Girls Grammar, Mac.Robertson Girls' High School and several major university campuses.

The sales team says buyers have responded particularly well to the combination of location, design quality and long-term liveability.

"They're responding really positively to the quality of the design, premium resident amenities and the uninterrupted views. Many also appreciate the location and how connected it is to everything they need."

The ability to secure stamp duty savings before completion has also been a key factor for purchasers, alongside the opportunity to personalise finishes ahead of settlement.

With construction set to commence soon and more than half the apartments already sold, Verdé enters its next phase as one of the Arts Precinct's more established apartment developments, offering remaining buyers an opportunity to secure a residence before construction advances further. Expected completion is scheduled for late 2027.

Virgate's Verdé Southbank moves toward construction as sales fly past halfway stage

Downsizer-focused apartment development Kooyongkoot in Hawthorn has been recognised at the 2026 Better Future Melbourne Design Awards, taking home Gold and Silver awards in two categories.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kooyongkoot-hawthorn-1-kooyongkoot-road-hawthorn-vic-3122">Kooyongkoot</a>, currently being delivered by developer PQD and designed by Cera Stribley, received Gold in the Interior Design – Proposed category and Silver in the Architecture – Proposed category.

The dual recognition reflects the design approach behind the boutique development on prestigious Kooyongkoot Road, where the focus has been on creating homes for downsizers seeking the space, quality and functionality of a detached house within a low-rise apartment building.

Rather than maximising apartment numbers, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/pqd">PQD</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a> limited the development to just 18 residences, allowing for larger floorplans, greater privacy, generous landscaping and expansive communal spaces.&nbsp;The majority of the apartments also benefit from corner aspects, allowing for dual sources of natural light.

Now around 70 per cent complete and on track for completion in November 2026, Kooyongkoot will comprise a mix of garden residences, ter​race apartments, sub-penthouses, and is crowned by two half-floor penthouses with direct lift access and private rooftop terraces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355297]

The Silver Award for Architecture recognised the way the building responds to its prominent corner position at the ent​rance to Hawthorn's Scotch Hill precinct, one of Melbourne's most established residential neighbourhoods.

Rather than competing with the grand homes that line Kooyongkoot Road, the architectural approach focused on restraint and longevity, using curved brickwork, generous landscaping and carefully considered proportions to integrate with the existing streetscape.

"The form feels fluid and timeless, as though shaped by the landscape itself – architecture that belongs, rather than competes," said Chris Stribley, Co-Founder and Managing Principal of Cera Stribley.

The judging submission also highlighted practical innovations throughout the building, including lift cores servicing only nine homes each, a central landscaped lightcourt designed to bring daylight and ventilation into the building, and fully enclosed private storage rooms with lighting, power and shelving to better accommodate residents transitioning from larger family homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355293]

The Gold Award for Interior Design recognised the project's focus on long-term liveability rather than display-home aesthetics.

According to the awards submission, the interiors were designed from the inside out, prioritising how homes would function over decades of daily use through generous proportions, practical storage, durable natural materials and flexible layouts.

The specification includes natural stone throughout, upgraded acoustic glazing, V-ZUG appliances and fully enclosed storage rooms, alongside an amenity offering focused on wellness, entertainment and everyday convenience.&nbsp;

Residents will have access to a gym and yoga studio, a wellness centre featuring traditional and infrared saunas, a cold therapy shower and treatment room, as well as a residents' lounge and golf simulator/cinema room for entertainment.&nbsp;Kooyongkoot has also considered the everyday convenience of its residents by offering a private carwash and pet wash facilities on site as well as dedicated parcel lockers and oversized fully enclosed storage rooms.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355303]

The project's attention to detail has already resonated with buyers. Earlier this year, Kooyongkoot recorded one of Boroondara's highest apartment sales when an $8 million penthouse was purchased by a Melbourne CEO downsizing from a nearby family home.

"Every detail feels deliberate, from the overall design down to the smallest touches," the purchaser said.

"The level of quality and refinement is exceptional, but what really sold it was how liveable it felt... It felt like a place where everything had been considered, not just a luxury building."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355304]

Sustainability also formed a key part of both award submissions. Kooyongkoot is targeting a minimum 7.5-star NatHERS rating across all residences, supported by passive design principles, high-performance glazing, EV charging infrastructure, water reuse systems and a wellness model focused on lower-energy dry facilities rather than pools and large wet areas.

Located within walking distance of Scotch College, Methodist Ladies' College, Koo​yong Lawn Tennis Club, Aubur​n Village and Camberwell Junction, Kooyongkoot continues to target owner-occupiers looking to remain in Melbourne's inner east without compromising on space or quality. A limited selection of two, three and four-bedroom residences remains available, with prices starting from $1.9 million.

Kooyongkoot wins Gold and Silver at Better Future Melbourne Design Awards

New apartment supply has become increasingly constrained across <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/parramatta-nsw-2150">Parramatta</a> in recent years, with fewer projects progressing through to completion as development conditions have become more challenging.

It makes <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/novm">NOVM</a>'s 2021-completed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/the-lennox-parramatta-12-phillip-street-parramatta-nsw-2150">The Lennox</a> one of the most recently completed residential towers on the Parramatta River, and among the newest apartment developments in Sydney's second CBD.

With the project largely completed before the sharp escalation in construction costs and inflation following the pandemic, The Lennox is now offering pricing that would be difficult to replicate in a comparable new development in Parramatta today, or across much of Western Sydney.

The majority of the 413 apartments at The Lennox sold before and shortly after completion. A limited release of the remaining apartments has recently been brought to market by capital partner <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/equitifund-group">Equitifund</a>, with entry-level pricing from $700,000 and two-bedroom apartments available from under $1 million.

Rising above the Parramatta River at 12 Phillip Street, The Lennox comprises one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, appealing to first home buyers, young professionals, families, downsizers and interstate investors seeking a completed apartment in one of Australia's fastest-growing economic centres.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=372394]

Rather than positioning Parramatta as an alternative to Sydney's CBD, Equitifund believes the city has reached a point where it stands on its own merits.

"Parramatta is no longer simply an alternative to Sydney CBD, it's becoming a destination in its own right," Equitifund Executive Chairman Greg Huxley said.

"The Lennox captures that evolution with a level of quality and amenity that's difficult to match at its price point."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=953]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/marchese-partners">Marchese Partners</a>, the tower responds directly to its riverfront setting through expansive glazing and open-plan layouts that maximise views across the Parramatta River and city skyline. Interiors feature engineered timber flooring, stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances and floor-to-ceiling glazing, while generous balconies extend the living spaces outdoors.

Marchese Partners says the project was conceived to balance high-quality apartment living with practical, long-term functionality, pairing larger, efficient floorplans with amenities more commonly associated with five-star hotels.

That emphasis continues through the resident facilities, which include a 20-metre rooftop swimming pool, fully equipped gym and wellness spaces, full-time concierge, a residents' lounge, function room, private lifts, secure basement parking and rooftop communal areas overlooking the Parramatta River. Ground-floor boardwalk retail and dining further activate the riverfront and integrate the building into the surrounding public realm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=925]

Australian housing and finance group Equitifund has secured the remaining apartments, believing there are few completed apartment opportunities in Parramatta that offer the same combination of location, amenity and pricing.

Equitifund National Sales Director Ben Hamblett says buyers are increasingly recognising that premium apartment living no longer needs to come with Sydney CBD pricing.

"The Lennox is where aspirational living becomes attainable," Hamblett said.

"Wake to river and mountain views, step into Sydney's Second CBD, and arrive home to resort-calibre amenities, all without the harbour price tag."

Hamblett says owner-occupiers are also attracted by the convenience of having Westfield Parramatta, Church Street's dining precinct, Parramatta Park, Riverside Theatres, Western Sydney University and major transport connections all within walking distance.

"At The Lennox, lifestyle is not an afterthought, it is the foundation."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=5374]

The Lennox places residents within walking distance of Parramatta Square, Westfield Parramatta, Church Street Eat Street, Parramatta Station, the ferry wharf, Light Rail, the future Sydney Metro West, Parramatta Park and CommBank Stadium, reinforcing Parramatta's position as one of Australia's most connected metropolitan centres outside Sydney's CBD.

Equitifund says buyers visiting the display suite consistently comment on the quality of the finishes, generous floorplans, river and skyline views, and the walkability of the location. The project has attracted a broad mix of local professionals, upsizers, downsizers, buyers relocating from Sydney's inner suburbs and interstate investors seeking long-term growth opportunities.

That demand aligns with Parramatta's continued evolution as an economic powerhouse. Equitifund Research and Market Insights specialist John Bekiaris says sustained population growth, infrastructure investment and expanding employment opportunities continue to support long-term housing demand across the city.

"Parramatta has evolved from a satellite city into one of Australia's most important economic centres. Population growth, infrastructure investment and employment are all supporting sustained long-term housing demand."

The apartment price gap drawing Sydney buyers west

A luxury beachfront apartment at Rainbow Bay has more than doubled in value since it sold off the plan six years ago, setting a new local apartment record in the process.

The three-bedroom apartment in the Flow development on Petrie Street, the first of four new projects locally by Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Projects, has sold for $7.4 million, after originally selling for $3.27 million when the project launched in 2020.

The seventh-floor apartment, comprising 187 sqm of internal living space and a 54 sqm balcony overlooking Froggies Beach and Snapper Rocks, was purchased by a local family.

The transaction was negotiated by Pezet Matheson director Kerry Pezet and equates to more than $30,000 per sqm.

Pezet said the sale reflected the limited opportunities to buy into the boutique beachfront development.

"The sale highlights the rarity of opportunities within the boutique beachfront development, where residences seldom become available," Pezet said.

"Flow is one of the Gold Coast's most tightly held buildings. Buyers from our database move quickly when residences become available, and achieving an off-market sale at $7.4 million demonstrates the depth of demand for property of this calibre."

<img alt="Flow" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c585b206-2130-4eee-a50c-3f27c51a7c70" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-06%20at%208.33.25%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=m3pHRDV62Y3fvN.XQuQHq.52ilTWpRLf" />

Flow was the first of four luxury apartment developments delivered by Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Projects at Rainbow Bay and was completed in 2023.

Positioned on the beachfront overlooking Snapper Rocks, the residence includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a powder room and views stretching north along the coastline towards Surfers Paradise.

Pezet Matheson Residential principal Mitchell Lambert said buyers continued to prioritise quality beachfront apartments in tightly held locations.

"Flow Residences offers a rare combination of elevated beachfront positioning, architectural excellence, comprehensive resident amenity and premium finishes, which is exactly what discerning purchasers are seeking," Lambert said.

"The transaction further reinforces Rainbow Bay's reputation as one of Australia's premier coastal lifestyle destinations, where limited supply and growing demand continue to support strong market performance."

Pezet Matheson originally marketed and sold out Flow off the plan, making the latest transaction a return to one of the project's original buyers.

Paul Gedoun is selling his third project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/radia-rainbow-bay-271-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Radia Rainbow Bay</a>, after recently completing, and selling out, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/esprit-217-227-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Esprit</a>.

National developer&nbsp;<a href="/developers/cedar-woods">Cedar Woods</a>&nbsp;is commencing construction this month on <a href="/new-apartments/incontro-subiaco-133-salvado-road-subiaco-wa-6008">Incontro</a> Apartments in Subiaco, following strong sales performance, with almost 50 per cent of the new apartments sold prior to breaking ground.

Multi-award winning EMCO Building has been appointed to deliver the 110-apartment development. The leading WA builder, which has delivered numerous high-quality residential projects across Western Australia over the past four decades, will commence construction this month, with completion expected in mid-2027.

Cedar Woods&nbsp;Managing Director&nbsp;Nathan&nbsp;Blackburne said the company was pleased to partner with EMCO to bring Incontro Apartments to life.

“EMCO Building has a proven track record of delivering high-quality residential projects, and the calibre of their work combined with the project’s architectural merit presents a strong proposition for purchasers.”

Commenting on the early sales success, Blackburne said&nbsp;the strong early sales indicate that Incontro Apartments’ attractive price point and well-connected&nbsp;Subiaco&nbsp;location are clearly resonating with buyers.

Perth luxury apartment developer Blackburne has announced their first truly boutique high-end development for the South Perth waterfront.

Blackburne, who is known for recent award-winning developments such as The Grove Residences in Claremont and ONE Subiaco, will develop the luxury project at <a href="/new-apartments/44-mill-point-road-south-perth-wa-6151">44 Mill Point Road</a>.

The project will feature only 57 large-scale apartments, ranging from $2 million to $10 million. The development will have health club-level facilities, a bathhouse, private dining rooms, and a private residents’ lounge.

<img alt="Blackburne" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="23b666b5-2ee6-4a7b-966b-3d60ef92e224" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-05-26%20at%203.59.45%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=s75d1n90heoDS9iiEN_GFsW_r5Hsz3fh" />

&nbsp;

Managing Director and Founder of Blackburne Paul Blackburne said it is their most exciting development to date.

“We’re proud to be bringing a project that responds to the unique character of South Perth while raising the bar for apartment living," Blackburne said.

"Perth has never seen a boutique project with mostly ultra-high-end residences, and we’re excited to bring something new to people wanting to live in South Perth.

“With larger floorplans than we have ever done before, ultra-premium finishes and a focus on privacy and views, this development is tailored for discerning owner occupiers who want to stay connected to the city while enjoying a relaxed, riverside lifestyle. This location is without a doubt the best in South Perth and will bring something new to the area. It’s our most exciting development yet,” he said.

When designing the South Perth development, local architects MJA Studio drew inspiration from the forms of the river, the local tonal palettes of the peninsula and the iconic local architecture such as the Flour Mill and the Narrows Bridge.

The DA is progressing through the new 11B Pathway and has undergone three comprehensive design review sessions with a state-appointed expert panel of architects.

Throughout the State design review process, the submission received recognition for design excellence for landscape quality, sustainability and aesthetics from the state design review panel. In line with the City of South Perth Activity Centre Plan (ACP), the project is within the height limit of 17 levels.

Managing Director and Founder of Blackburne Paul Blackburne said it is their most exciting development to date.

Leading Malaysian developer UEM Sunrise has started taking registrations of interest at its flagship Subiaco East development One Oval,&nbsp;the first residential project to proceed under the WA Government’s Subiaco East Masterplan.

One Oval is a&nbsp;key component of the Subiaco East Masterplan by DevelopmentWA, the Western Australia State Government’s central land and development agency, which aims to rejuvenate 35 hectares of land surrounding Subiaco Oval, the former Princess Margaret Hospital, and Mueller Park.

The masterplan envisions creating a vibrant, inner-city village that respects the area's rich heritage while introducing new residential, commercial, and public spaces to meet the needs of a growing population.

Local <a href="/developments/scarborough-wa-6019">Scarborough</a> resident and respected Perth apartment developer Gary Dempsey is back on the development scene in his hometown.

Dempsey's development company, <a href="/developers/gary-dempsey-developments">Gary Dempsey Developments</a>, has unveiled <a href="/new-apartments/myka-residences-scarborough-194-the-esplanade-scarborough-wa-6019">Myka Residences</a>—21 luxury apartments as close to the sand as possible on The Esplanade.

&nbsp;

Located directly across the road from Brighton Beach, offering uninterrupted, never-to-be-built-out views, Myka will consist of 20 half-floor apartments, ranging from three to four bedrooms and 235 sqm to 368 sqm in size, as well as one whole-floor penthouse.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148114 project_image_fid=314542]

Off the plan buyers can choose between two interior color schemes: Sand, which embraces warm tones and organic textures, or Sea, inspired by the cool hues of the ocean.

Living areas will feature expansive glazing, engineered timber flooring, and open-plan layouts that extend onto spacious balconies with frameless glass balustrades for uninterrupted ocean views. Select residences will include an integrated fireplace with a polished plaster feature wall.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148114 project_image_fid=314526]

Kitchens are appointed with stone island benches, timber veneer cabinetry, and a suite of integrated Miele appliances, including a pyrolytic oven, combi microwave, induction cooktop, and dishwasher.

A concealed appliance cupboard, scullery, and optional bar area provide additional storage and preparation space. The kitchen extends to an alfresco cooking area, with the option to include a marine-grade stainless steel BBQ set into a high-pressure porcelain panel benchtop.

Bedrooms feature wool carpets, walk-in robes with custom dressers, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that frame the ocean views. The master bedrooms include ensuites with freestanding bathtubs, dual stone vanities, Grohe rain showers with integrated bench seating, and underfloor heating.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148114 project_image_fid=314531]

Residents will also enjoy a range of lifestyle amenities starting from when they enter the building, with a lobby designed to feel more like a private art gallery.

The Myka Club offers an exclusive residents’ lounge and entertaining area with direct ocean views. Outdoor communal spaces include a common green area with secure outdoor dining and BBQ facilities.

A dedicated surf and bike store provides convenient storage for outdoor gear, while a fully equipped dog wash station caters to pet owners.

Further enhancing its sustainability, Myka is set to achieve an average 7-Star NatHERS rating, highlighting its energy-efficient design. A rooftop photovoltaic solar system helps reduce reliance on traditional energy sources, lowering communal electricity costs. The development is also entirely non-smoking, promoting a cleaner and healthier environment for all residents.

There are also electric vehicle charging provisions, catering to the growing demand for sustainable transport solutions.

The project sits on a prime 1,500&nbsp;site on the corner of The Esplanade and Brighton Road, behind C-Breeze Kiosk near Brighton Beach Reserve, and just south of the Scarborough Beach Precinct and Scarborough Beach Pool—WA's first beachfront pool. The pool features two geothermally heated pools: one 25m and one 50m.

Thirty percent of apartments at Myka have already sold. Myka is the second development by Dempsey in Scarborough. He previously developed Bluewater Apartments, just under one kilometer north on Reserve Street.

The First Home Owners Grant (FHOG) is a government initiative designed to help eligible first-time home buyers by offering financial assistance towards the purchase or construction of a new home.

While the FHOG is a nationwide program, it is administered separately by each state and territory, meaning the eligibility criteria, grant amounts, and property requirements can vary depending on your location. This means that the amount available and the conditions attached to the grant will differ, so it is important to check the specific guidelines for your state or territory.

It’s important to note that the FHOG is just one of several incentives available to first home buyers. In most states and territories, the grant is not linked to stamp duty exemptions or concessions, with the exception of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The FHOG is typically a one-off payment, reducing the overall cost of purchasing or building a new home before any stamp duty concessions are applied.

Below, we provide a breakdown of the First Home Owner Grants available across Australia, outlining the specific details for each state and territory.

<h2>New South Wales First Home Owner Grant</h2>

<h2>Tasmania First Home Owner Grant</h2>

Every First Home Owner Grant for new property by state

The name of the suburb Sorrento, on Perth's stunning coastline, is believed to be inspired by the Italian town overlooking the Bay of Naples. It’s easy to see why—both places share incredible ocean views, beautiful beaches, and scenic walking trails.

What sets <a href="/developments/sorrento-wa-6020">Sorrento</a> in Perth apart, however, is something the Italian town doesn’t have: a brand-new apartment development. Apartments are a rare find in the beachside Perth locale, making up only about five percent of the suburb’s 3,000 or so homes. That’s what makes Megara’s Ora Sorrento such a unique opportunity for those wanting a modern, low-maintenance apartment by the coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136169 project_image_fid=213841]

With such limited supply, the potential for strong long-term value growth is clear. <a href="/new-apartments/ora-sorrento-128-136-west-coast-drive-sorrento">Ora Sorrento</a>, currently under construction by Thomas Building, will offer 73 apartments when it’s completed in late 2026.

The award-winning MJA Studio took inspiration from Ora’s prime location, right across from Marmion and Sorrento Beaches. The design reflects the natural beauty of the coastline, with organic curves and high-quality finishes throughout both the exterior and interiors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136169 project_image_fid=213846]

Ora will feature a mix of spacious one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, plus the exclusive Cascade Collection of multi-level, three and four-bedroom penthouses. The design embraces a ‘barefoot luxury’ style, combining top-tier finishes with a laid-back, coastal vibe.

The open-plan layouts at Ora Sorrento are designed to maximise space and natural light, with kitchens featuring premium V-ZUG appliances and Astra Walker fixtures. In the larger apartments, the master suites include walk-through wardrobes that lead to private ensuites with double vanities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136169 project_image_fid=213851]

Residents will enjoy an impressive range of resort-style amenities, including a private residents’ deck with a heated pool, cabanas, a sauna, steam room and a gym. There’s also a dedicated lounge with a kitchen and dining area, perfect for entertaining, while a wine cellar provides a cosy setting for tastings and secure storage.

Conveniently located just minutes from Seacrest Shopping Centre, the Flora Terrace Strip, Hillarys Boat Harbour, and Sorrento Quay, Ora offers easy access to a variety of dining, retail, and recreational options. Families will appreciate nearby schools like Sacred Heart College and Sorrento Primary School, the only two schools in the suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136169 project_image_fid=213847]

Ora is currently under construction, with construction expected in 2026.

<a href="/developers/megara">Megara</a> has a strong track record, having been developing across Perth since 2006. They are currently developing <a href="/new-apartments/serai-north-fremantle-21-mccabe-street-north-fremantle">Serai</a>, one of the few new developments in <a href="/developments/north-fremantle-wa-6159">North Fremantle</a>.

The unrepeatable nature of Ora Sorrento apartments

Perth’s popular Subiaco is set to receive a fresh injection of new apartments, and select two-storey townhomes, with the launch of Incontro Apartments by award winning developer Cedar Woods.

Cedar Woods, who have developed nationally for the best part of four decades, have already sold 30 percent of the apartments before officially taking the project to market. The launch comes off the back of the successful Incontro Townhouse development next door where buyers have moved into their completed homes and are enjoying the surrounding amenity that Subiaco has to offer.&nbsp;

The one, two and three-bedroom apartments start from $604,000* which is well below Subiaco’s median house price which is now touching $1.9 million. The Subiaco unit market has also grown significantly, according to property data analytics firm CoreLogic, with values jumping 12.4 per cent in calendar year 2023, followed by a rise of 16.7 per cent&nbsp;in 2024.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108869 project_image_fid=317905]

Cedar Woods had DKO Architecture design the striking building that complements the developing Incontro masterplan. Their focus was on maximising natural light, creating flexible living spaces, and curating two stylish colour schemes for buyers to choose from, both inspired by local flora.

Each kitchen will include integrated Smeg appliances and stone benchtops, while the open plan living area will feature 2.7-metre high ceilings and direct access to a balcony or courtyard, increasing the feeling of open space.

Incontro Apartments will also have an exclusive garden terrace on the second level which will include dining and entertaining spaces, work areas, and landscaped green nooks.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108869 project_image_fid=325605]

Cedar Woods places a high priority on creating sustainable communities, and Incontro is no different. The development will achieve an average 7.5-star NatHERS energy rating and will include solar panels, water-efficient fixtures, double glazed windows, EV charging options, and materials which have been locally sourced.

Incontro’s prime location in Subiaco will put residents within minutes of parklands, schools, retail, dining, and entertainment options. Incontro is also within walking or cycling distance of Rokeby Road’s café strip, Subiaco Common, Kings Park, and Subiaco Farmers Market, as well as Subiaco Station, all just five kilometres from the Perth CBD.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108869 project_image_fid=317909]

Buyers who act quickly may be eligible for savings of up to $50,000 on stamp duty under Western Australia’s Off-The-Plan Duty Concession and Rebate Scheme, due to finish at 30 June 2025.

Cedar Woods is expecting to start construction on Incontro Apartments later this year, with a builder appointment expected shortly.

Cedar Woods launches Incontro Apartments in Subiaco

Ron Jackson has called Mosman Park home for the last 25 years, so when the rare opportunity arose to downsize into a brand new apartment on the boundary of Mosman Park in North Fremantle, he jumped at the chance.

He has lived just 500 metres from <a href="/new-apartments/serai-north-fremantle-21-mccabe-street-north-fremantle">Serai</a>, the new apartment development by <a href="/developments/perth-wa">Perth</a> developer <a href="/developers/megara">Megara</a>, since the late 1990s.

"I've walked past the site, and the industrial buildings that previously occupied it, hundreds of times over the last two decades," Ron says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=186209]

Ron and his wife saw an ad in the local paper, so when the project was launched, they attended the opening day reveal.

"We were certainly among the early buyers in the development," Ron recalls, adding that they were impressed with everything Megara had put together.

“The architecture and proposed fit-out looked fantastic, even on paper,” Ron said.

"The area boasts beautiful river walks, world-class beaches on its doorstep, and views of the harbour where cruise ships dock."&nbsp;

The apartments facing south offer panoramic views of the river, with the apartments facing north enjoying views of the magnificent northern beach coastline to Cottesloe.&nbsp;

Ron and his wife secured a three-bedroom apartment on one of the higher levels of the eight-level structure.

"We'll be in a position where our balcony wraps around so we have views directly over the Swan River, Port Beach and Fremantle Harbour. The chances are, given the rarity of new apartments in <a href="/developments/north-fremantle-wa-6159">North Fremantle</a> and being located high on a hill, the views will likely never be built out."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=186196]

Serai has been a hit with locals given North Fremantle hasn't seen a new development for several years, and nothing of this quality.

The two architecturally-striking towers, currently under construction and slated for completion in Q1 2026, will comprise 86 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments and 11 luxury townhouses at the rear of the development. Serai also incorporates a host of impressive facilities which Ron says ticked all of the boxes.

“You name it, Serai has it,” Ron says of the development that will boast a heated swimming pool which will offer the most impressive views over the Swan, a gym with a yoga room and sauna, a fire-pit lounge, outdoor barbeque area, an outdoor cinema, a makers room, a whisky room and EV charging stations.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=186200]

The couple has a miniature schnauzer, so while a dog wash facility may seem minor compared to larger amenities like a pool or gym, it’s actually an important feature for some prospective buyers.

“It’s important to us that the building is pet-friendly, and the integrated dog wash facility tells us pets are welcomed in the building, and we likely won’t be the only ones with a dog.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=186201]

The latest technology within the building was another tick, offering Ron and his wife an added layer of security. Easy access to Fremantle and Perth via two train stations and the availability of a number of private schools in the area is also another big draw card for prospective buyers.

“Everything is top of the range with CCTV and number plate recognition when parking. We are going to feel very secure in the building.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=186207]

One of the most important parts of buying off the plan is to do full due diligence on the developer and its track record. Ron went to visit a building Megara completed a few years ago in Ardross.

"I actually lurked outside the building for an hour or so and caught a few residents coming and going from their apartment, so I got the chance to speak to them about their experience buying with Megara, but more importantly the quality of the building.&nbsp;

"Of the three or four owners I spoke to, everyone spoke highly of the apartment they bought, the quality of the construction, and the craftmanship of the interiors."

Ron believes the future resale value of the project should be solid because of the location, quality of the design, and the uniqueness of the project, a sentiment echoed by Megara Director Jamie Clarke.

"When completed, there will be almost nothing comparable to Serai, or anything under construction or even in planning currently. There won't be a lot of new stock that is competing within the immediate vicinity, and that's not lost on our buyers who know this is a rare opportunity," Jamie says.

Ron and his wife are one of many downsizers who are fuelling a large majority of the off the plan apartment market. Perth was the strongest capital city housing market in 2024, with house values increasing nearly 19 per cent.

Ron&nbsp;took part in Urban's Buyer Q&amp;A series which focuses on the driving factors behind buying off the plan property in Australia.

Why Serai apartments in North Fremantle have resonated with the local market: Urban Buyer Q&A

It's a crucial first step in any multi-stage development that the initial phase provides significant amenities for the first residents, especially when the full masterplan might take a decade or more to complete.

<a href="/developers/golden-sedayu">Golden Sedayu</a> is hitting all the right notes with its $3.8 billion <a href="/new-townhouses/burswood-point-saintly-entrance-burswood">Burswood Point</a> masterplan—a major redevelopment of the land surrounding Belmont Racecourse on the Swan River.

In the first stage, the developer is focusing on two towers: Somerset East and Somerset West. Last year, they launched 203 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, and the response has been overwhelming. These apartments will be the first of approximately 4,500 dwellings to be delivered across the 38-hectare precinct.

Within the two towers, Golden Sedayu has strategically included a range of amenities to ensure that the first residents of the masterplan are well catered for.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142314 project_image_fid=263319]

Upon arrival, residents and guests are welcomed by Somerset's sculptural two-tower form.&nbsp;

The architectural design by <a href="/architects/dko-architecture">DKO Architecture</a> features rising tiers of balconies with greenery, creating a visually striking entrance.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142314 project_image_fid=263321]

Located on the third floor, Somerset’s amenities offer panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.&nbsp;

The highlight of the development's amenities is the 20-metre infinity pool that appears to cascade towards the Swan River, surrounded by sun decks, submerged loungers, a children's shallow pool, and jacuzzis.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142314 project_image_fid=263320]

An observation deck offers a private viewing experience of the nearby racetrack, with Optus Stadium and Matagarup Bridge as a backdrop.&nbsp;

The viewing deck will have BBQ facilities, making it suitable for gatherings and social events.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142314 project_image_fid=263305]

Somerset's deck also includes areas dedicated to restorative yoga and meditation, complemented by a wellness centre that has a gymnasium surrounded by greenery.

For private dining, Golden Sedayu has designed a residents’ dining room.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142314 project_image_fid=263323]

Part of stage one will also include a boulevard with various shops, cafes and supermarkets. Burswood Point will have 91,000 sqm of retail and commercial space all up on its completion. The masterplan will also have 110,000 sqm of parklands and a 2.5-kilometre foreshore.&nbsp;

Located just 3.5 kilometres from the CBD, Burswood Point is envisioned as a "city within a city," transforming <a href="/new-apartments/perth-wa">Perth</a> with a new lifestyle and entertainment hub. It is the largest mixed-use&nbsp;urban&nbsp;development Perth has ever seen.

Over $200 million of site works have been completed and construction of the two Somerset towers will commence in Q1 2025.
