A collection of just 25 large-format apartments and penthouses overlooking Goodwin Park is entering the Coolangatta market, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marea-residences-coolangatta-27-27a-dixon-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Maréa Residences</a> combining a low-density, residential-only approach with uninterrupted park and Pacific Ocean outlooks.

Located at 27 Dixon Street, Maréa comprises three and four-bedroom residences alongside a limited number of dual-level penthouses, with the project positioned between Goodwin Park and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>’s coastal precinct.

Construction has commenced, with completion currently estimated for late 2027. Three-bedroom residences are priced from $1.8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374005]

The project has been designed around its northern outlook across the park, with the building’s architecture, landscaping and material palette intended to establish a connection with the neighbouring green space. The residences have been configured to maximise natural light and views across Goodwin Park towards the ocean.

Inside, the material palette incorporates timber, stone and brushed brass, complemented by curved detailing and ambient lighting. Kitchens and bathrooms carry the same natural material approach, while residences also include basement parking, storage and lift access.

Maréa’s penthouses are arranged over two levels and include private pools, adding another layer to the project’s focus on larger-format apartment living. Across the development, residences are configured with three or four bedrooms rather than the broader mix of smaller apartment types commonly found in larger projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374010]

Resident amenity is concentrated at rooftop level, where landscaped entertaining terraces and pools take advantage of elevated views across Coolangatta and the Pacific Ocean.

The project has so far been particularly well received by local owner-occupiers and downsizers, according to Urban Activation Property Sales and Marketing Director Matt George, with the residential-only format, construction quality and northern park outlook among the features resonating with purchasers.

“The uninterrupted northern aspect overlooking Goodwin Park has been a key point of difference, with buyers attracted to the sense of serenity and open space the park provides, while still enjoying easy access to the ocean and being within walking distance of the lifestyle and amenities Coolangatta has to offer,” George said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374002]

“The combination of high-quality construction, a residential-only building, park outlook and proximity to the beach has resonated strongly with the local downsizer market.”

The Dixon Street address is within walking distance of Coolangatta Beach and the broader southern Gold Coast coastline, including the surf breaks at Snapper Rocks and Kirra. Coolangatta’s cafés, restaurants and retail are nearby, while Gold Coast Airport is also within close proximity.

Melbourne developer PDG has secured Victorian Government approval for its $1.5 billion Southbank development <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-1-queens-bridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The One</a>, clearing the way for the long-dormant riverfront site opposite Crown to finally be developed.

The Minister for Planning has approved the project at 1-29 Queens Bridge Street, with the Department of Transport and Planning issuing the planning permit following its assessment.

The approval will allow PDG to develop the prominent 5,059 sqm site with a major mixed-use tower comprising premium apartments, including branded residences, a luxury hotel and boutique office space.

PDG acquired the site in late 2024, with its position directly opposite Crown's main entrance and near Melbourne's Arts Precinct making it one of Southbank's most significant remaining development opportunities.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3933013e-6332-4386-b9be-089df05caf17" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sITIgBqDL0N3VNSMwWEmF5UA.uvcsRyu" />

Designed by COX in collaboration with ODO and PDG, the tower's architecture draws on the movement of the Yarra River, with six vertical pleats running the height of the sculpted facade.

The project will also see the heritage-listed Queens Bridge Hotel restored and incorporated into the development&nbsp;with new hospitality and public uses, including a rooftop venue.

A significant component of The One will be its residential amenity.

More than 5,000 sqm of resident facilities will be delivered across a single level, making it one of the largest consolidated residential amenity offerings proposed in an Australian apartment development.

The planning approval also incorporates a major upgrade of Queensbridge Square, which PDG will deliver in partnership with the City of Melbourne.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="73167fcd-1031-4b6f-a408-a064cfe45ed1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.17%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Pf1AEWxw6SNmBqR0zQW5lyEze.MtxgFp" />

The existing square will be revitalised as a new civic and pedestrian space along the Yarra River, strengthening the connection between the project, Southbank and the riverfront.

PDG Founder and Managing Director Vince Giuliano said the approval represented a major milestone for a site which has remained largely underutilised for more than 15 years.

“This is the most significant Planning Permit approval Melbourne has seen in recent years,” Giuliano said.

“For more than 15 years, this site has remained underutilised. This approval enables us to deliver a project that will contribute meaningfully to the revitalisation of Southbank, restore and reactivate an important heritage building, and create a new civic and hospitality destination for Melbourne.”

The latest approval follows an earlier planning permit issued by the City of Melbourne covering demolition works across part of the site at 9-29 Queens Bridge Street. Those demolition and early works are already underway.

PDG has also started generating early interest in the residential component from owner-occupiers ahead of a planned public launch in early 2027.

PDG secures approval for $1.5bn Southbank apartment development, The One

Local developer Harridan is seeking to turn its Woolloongabba apartment project into the first stage of a broader transformation of Burke Street, using a new 16-storey mixed-use building to establish a greener pedestrian connection toward the rapidly evolving Boggo Road transport and knowledge precinct.

The South East Queensland developer has filed plans for 154 apartments on the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/4-burke-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">southern side of Burke Street</a>, where its proposal has been designed alongside a wider vision by LatStudios for the street.

That vision positions the southern side of Burke Street for buildings of 15 storeys and above, while envisaging lower-rise development of up to five storeys on the northern side to transition into Woolloongabba's existing character housing. It also proposes wider pedestrian verges, deep planting, new street trees and upgrades to the pedestrian approach to Boggo Road Station.

The Harridan development itself has been designed by Brisbane-based Arqus Design and will comprise 154 apartments across 16 storeys. The mix is weighted heavily toward two-bedroom apartments, with 121 proposed alongside 10 one-bedroom and 23 three-bedroom residences. There will typically be around 14 units per floor.

A lower-ground car park and three podium levels will accommodate 156 resident parking spaces, along with visitor and commercial parking. There will also be 154 resident bicycle spaces and 40 visitor bicycle parks.

&nbsp;

Harridan is a family-owned developer and part of the Holmwood Highgate Group, with more than three decades of development activity across South East Queensland. Its portfolio spans residential, commercial and industrial property, with current residential projects including Riverbank on Byron in Bulimba, Esperance Residences in Carina and The Precinct at Kinross Road in Thornlands.

Wooloongabba has been popular for apartment developers, particularly since the announcement of the 2032 Summer Olympics games in Brisbane.

While there have been a lot of development applications, it has failed to materialize into real supply.&nbsp;

Sarazin has been the major player in the area. They are under construction at Murcia Residences, on the fringe of East Brisbane and Woolloongabba. They have just launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-stanley-residences-woolloongabba-8-trafalgar-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">The Stanley Residences</a>, in Woolloongabba on Trafalagar Street. They also have Nuage coming soon on the nearby <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba-qld-4102">Wellington Road</a>.

<hr />
Lewis Land has opened the first completed sky home for inspection at Harbour Shores, giving buyers their first opportunity to step inside one of just three double-storey residences crowning The Waterline.

Each sky home comes with its own private marina berth, rooftop terrace and Broadwater views, combining the scale of a larger home with direct access to the boating lifestyle that underpins the wider <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/harbour-shores-biggera-waters-564-oxley-drive-biggera-waters-qld-4216">Harbour Shores</a> masterplan.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113271 project_image_fid=366708]

Lewis Land Head of Development Michael Long said the inclusion of a berth with every Sky Home had become increasingly valuable as marina access across the Gold Coast tightened.

“Marina berths are becoming increasingly difficult to secure across the Gold Coast, so including one with every Sky Home makes this a genuinely rare offering,” Long said.

“The private 70-berth marina will accommodate boats up to 12 metres in length and is positioned just 2.5 kilometres from the Broadwater, placing the open ocean only 15 minutes away.

“Being able to step out of your home onto your boat is a rare luxury, and it’s something residents here can look forward to when it opens later this year.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113271 project_image_fid=366709]

The display opening comes as construction completes on The Waterline, with the first residents expected to move in from mid-October.

The three Sky Homes range from 282 sqm to 367 sqm and each feature three bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple living zones, expansive kitchens with butler's pantries and large balconies taking in the Broadwater outlook.

Each residence also has three secure basement car spaces and additional storage.

“This is the first opportunity the Gold Coast has had to step into Harbour Shores and see, touch and feel what we’re bringing to life here,” Long said.

“There are only three Sky Homes within The Waterline, ranging in size from 282sqm to 367sqm, with each residence featuring three large bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple living zones, expansive custom-built kitchens with butler’s pantry, and large balconies capturing Broadwater views.”

<img alt="Harbour Shores" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bab65e10-4fab-45e1-92d8-fc56e2ab98ff" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%202.00.16%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=XT8q76LsPkw3cYTsvN3JfFDaPLud90PN" />

Residents of The Waterline will have access to a private pool, along with Harbour Shores' wider collection of amenity including a lagoon pool, social clubhouse, tennis court, gym, yoga facilities and sauna.

Lewis Land partnered with Studio Collective to furnish the completed display, with the interiors designed to demonstrate how the residences could function as permanent homes rather than simply as show apartments.

Studio Collective Director Melissa Park said the surrounding waterways informed the interiors, but in a more restrained way than a traditional coastal scheme.

“We drew inspiration from the canals and coastal surrounds, but our approach was to interpret that subtly through layered materials and a grounded palette of earthy tones, rather than literal coastal references,” Park said.

“We introduced hero moments of green and teal to reference the surrounding waterways, while mirrored elements help reflect natural light.

“The result is a residence that feels elevated yet comfortable, somewhere buyers can genuinely imagine themselves living, entertaining and unwinding.”

Sky Homes are priced from $3.65 million.

Lewis Land is also offering private marina berths with The Residences, its limited collection of three and four-bedroom villas positioned directly along the Harbour Shores waterfront boardwalk.

Three-bedroom villas are priced from $2.99 million, while four-bedroom residences start from $3.19 million.

Harbour Shores is being marketed by Colliers International.

St Vincent de Paul Society Housing Australia has filed plans for a major mixed-use housing precinct on the southern edge of the North Sydney CBD, adding another significant proposal to a pocket around North Sydn​ey Station that is quickly becoming one of the LGA's busiest development zones.

The State Significant Development Application covers a 5,990 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1-19-mackenzie-street-lavender-bay-nsw-2060">1-19 MacKenzie Street and 211 Blues Point Road in Lavender Bay</a>, immediately south of Nor​th Sydney Station and between the commercial core and the lower-rise Lavender Bay Heritage Conservation Area.

Designed by Wardle, the proposal would deliver a new residential tower comprising 88 build-to-sell apartments and 19 affordable apartments, alongside a separate co-living building with 57 rooms and a building manager's studio.

It would also see the significant restoration and upgrade of St Francis Xavier Catholic Church, the adaptive reuse of the former school building, new parish facilities, retail, a new public square and around 1,000 sqm of publicly accessible open space.

<img alt="Vinnies North Sydney" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d5dd7f87-a617-463e-b577-17541e01f0e9" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-26%20at%209.10.13%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4R8TsFN3P_LrrXO2HswTOIrx2blil8lh" />

The project is seeking a concurrent rezoning of the site to R4 High Density Residential and an increase in the maximum building height to allow a tower reaching RL120, or up to 20 storeys. The proposal was progressed through the NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

The build-to-sell component will be weighted toward larger apartments, with just six one-bedroom apartments compared with 31 two-beds, 43 three-beds and eight four-bedroom residences.

The 19 affordable apartments will comprise two studios, 15 one-bedroom apartments and two two-bedroom apartments, taking the total apartment component to 107 residences before the 58 co-living rooms are included.

<img alt="Vnnies" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7d568ca5-cb90-4e18-96c6-d9795dba0c56" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-26%20at%209.10.05%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=GY2R5M9VtQh0EKy1vajaea19PSLOPuRD" />

Wardle's design for the Vinnies site has sought to negotiate that emerging high-rise context while retaining the lower-scale character of MacKenzie Street and the adjoining heritage conservation area.

The main building adopts a three-storey podium and tower arrangement, with the podium aligned to the ridgeline and front setback of St Francis Xavier Church.&nbsp;Wardle has designed the podium with colonnades, seating, recessed entries and active ground-floor frontages, with sandstone-toned precast concrete and face brick referencing the materiality of the existing church.

The tower then steps back eight metres to the south and six metres to the north before rising in a sculpted form comprising four interlocking quadrants. Wardle has also introduced rounded forms and chamfered corners to reduce the tower's perceived bulk and improve view sharing with neighbouring development sites.

Resident facilities and outdoor areas are planned at the separation between the podium and tower at Level 3, oriented toward Sydney Harbour and the CBD skyline.

The tower itself will feature a glass reinforced concrete facade, with recessed balconies and deep reveals used both to provide shading and privacy and frame views toward the harbour and city. The lower levels take a different architectural approach, using brick and sandstone-toned finishes intended to establish a stronger relationship with St Francis Xavier Church. The Church itself will be conserved and upgraded for its continued use, while the former school building will be adaptively reused as part of the co-living component.

<img alt="Lavendar Bay" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2d4418ad-90aa-4d49-af93-c80b140aea80" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-26%20at%209.09.47%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Kv4gzbsACaGvZSRuaqcfGC54jEJRXIDJ" />

&nbsp;

The proposal adds to an increasingly concentrated pipeline of residential development around Blue Street, MacKenzie Street and Lavender Bay.

Just west of the site, Central Element lodged plans earlier this year for one of the most significant residential developments proposed in Lavender Bay in recent years.

Central Element's SJB-designed scheme at 64-66 Lavender Street and 3-7 Middlemiss Street would deliver 163 apartments across two towers rising 23 and 32 storeys, replacing five existing apartment buildings containing 32 homes. The project also forms part of the Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

Immediately around North Sy​dney Station, another two significant proposals have emerged at 5 and 15 Blue Street.

Zurich Australian Insurance Properties is seeking to adaptively reuse its longstanding commercial building at 5 Blue Street, directly above North Sydney Station, rather than demolishing the structure.

Its SSDA proposes converting the building into a 14-storey mixed-use development with 62 apartments and 86 co-living rooms, together with ground-floor retail and a major refurbishment of Blue Street Plaza. The application is currently at the Response to Submissions stage.

A $9.4 million Elsternwick building block with permission for five homes looks set to be the location for this year’s series of The Block.
Its been the backup option given the rundown Gatwick Private Hotel, St Kilda offering has proved difficult to secure.
<a href="https://www.garypeer.com/search/view/46-regent-street-elsternwick/1053#.WMWz4oSaoU0" target="_blank">The vacant block</a> which was the Regent Lodge hostel in Elsternwick is not far from the historic Ripponlea homestead.
The 46 Regent Street property was reportedly purchased mid December by a company linked to Channel 9, with Nine CEO Hugh Marks listed as one of the directors.
The company has since had plans for a five lot subdivision approved this week by Glen Eira City Council.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2017/03/13/Screen%20Shot%202017-03-13%20at%2011.31.50%20AM.png" alt="">
Workmen moved on to the site on Friday with fencing erected, according to the Herald Sun.
The from scratch project will be a departure for the renovation program
The paper said several of the tradesmen on site were wearing fluoro vests branded with the name of a company that specialises in relocating homes.
The Block has previously worked renovation magic in Richmond, South Melbourne, South Yarra, Albert Park, Prahran and most recently Port Melbourne.
Filming is tipped to get underway on the new series late next month with the show typically airing from August.
Several years ago Kate Ceberano and Gina Riley have won a five-year development dispute preventing a private boys' school opening a campus on the block.
The Yesodei HaTorah College wanted 46 Regent Street to be a three storey, 325-student campus. They paid $3 million in 2006 selling at $4.75 million in 2010.
At a council meeting in 2010, Ceberano argued the proposed school would ruin the neighbourly atmosphere of Elsternwick.
Another local celebrity mum, comedian Gina Riley – famous for Kath And Kim – opposed the development on the basis of traffic and parking.
Several other schools, including Caulfield Grammar Senior School, are in or around Regent Street.
Meanwhile The Gatwick could still be a location for future series of the show, should a sale go through.
The property remains on the market with residents having been given four months to find alternative accommodation.

Construction of the $21 million residential development Lunar, 28 km south of Sydney, is slated to begin mid 2017.
If will feature 64 apartments, a basement carpark and a communal landscaped garden.
Ben Pomroy from Rothelowman says that the design for the new development was derived as a response to these natural surroundings and a desire to optimise the apartments’ long-distance views.
“Lunar sits on one of the highest points in the Sutherland Shire, with views north to the CBD and Botany Bay, our scheme had to take advantage of these opportunities, whilst developing a design that addressed and was respectful to the public domain,” he said.
“Our desire was to create a building that embraces the shire’s outdoor lifestyle with apartments that have both front and back yards..
“A place where residents could embrace the views to the north and the east, whilst also giving opportunity for interaction with the street.”
“Capitalising on the area’s temperate climate, the breezeway elevates the traditional corridor to a space where residents can socialise with their neighbours in a pleasant open-air setting.
“Liveability was a significant consideration in the evolution of Lunar’s design and the breezeway supports that.
"We have strived to create a building with the greatest possible access to daylight and fostered natural ventilation that is created with the layouts.”

Since its inception 20 years ago, Docklands has been a continuously evolving part of Melbourne, expanding the CBD grid west past Spencer Street and towards the water.
NewQuay has always been on the leading edge of innovative development in Docklands, attracting residents, tourists and businesses alike.
NewQuay now stands poised for a year of major rejuvenation, with announcements of several major developments coming to the area, making it one of Melbourne’s premier waterside precincts to live, work, play and stay.  
Schools
The announcement of a new, high priority government primary school in Docklands, to be delivered by 2019, and the opening of the Haileybury College city campus, located a short walk from NewQuay in West Melbourne, are expanding access to world class education. 
Already, residents at NewQuay have access to education services for all ages. The Giraffe Early Learning Centre at Harbour Town provides walkable access for working parents with infants. School-aged children are in proximity to several government primary and secondary schools, with suburban private schools conveniently connected by tram routes from NewQuay. <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/2017/03/08/700_newquay1.jpg" alt="">
 
Tertiary institutions including Melbourne University, RMIT, Victoria University and the Australian National University are all accessible on the tram network.
Parks
NewQuay currently boasts over 2.2 hectares of parks, which will soon be increased by the development of the second stage of Ron Barrassi Senior Reserve and the construction of NewQuay Central Park as part of the Banksia development.
This makes the green space development at NewQuay the largest green space complex constructed close to the city since Birrarung Marr in 2002.
Entertainment and Convenience  
Harbour Town Shopping Centre is continuing with its multimillion dollar redevelopment.
Having completed the canopy works, landscaping and seating upgrades throughout the centre, works have also commenced on the new cinema and entertainment complex, which will include a Hoyts cinema, food retailers and a bowling alley.
The center will also expand to include a fresh food market and a full line grocery store.

Hotels
Proximity to the city center, a choice of entertainment and the scenic waterside location are perennial draws for visitors to NewQuay. The hotel industry has recognised these unique assets with leasing operators investing in the precinct.   
In addition to the Sebel Hotel located at the The Quays, a new Four Points by Sheraton will open its doors in March, and will be joined in 2018 by the largest Quest serviced apartments in Australia.

Residential property developer Villa World has purchased a 42-hectare site at Clyde, 55km south east of the Melbourne CBD for $33 million.  
The site has an existing residential zoning for more than 400 home sites. Settlement will occur in 1H18.
Craig Treasure, managing director, Villa World, said he considered the Melbourne market to be extremely strong right now, buoyed by population growth.
“We have been looking to grow our five to six-year pipeline of projects in Victoria, specifically in the south east corridor because of the proximity to transport, excellent education facilities and attractive retail precincts,” he said.
“The Clyde purchase is in line with our strategy of growing through disciplined and targeted acquisitions.”
Last month Villa World last upgraded its full year guidance to a profit after tax of $37.5 million, representing 11 percent expected growth on its FY16 result.

Ingham’s will take a three-year leaseback over the site, 160-168 Heath Road, with an additional one-year option.
Peter Vines from CBRE said the site was strategically located between the cities of Liverpool and Campbelltown in a surging growth precinct.
"It is governed by favourable R2 and R3 zoning controls, allowing for 55 residential blocks and 25 medium density dwellings subject to planning approvals," he said.
“The sale provides an opportunity to capitalise on the buoyant conditions in the south-west Sydney housing market.
“Leppington has been identified by the NSW Government as a South West Priority Growth Area and is integral to accommodating Sydney’s growing population. The site also benefits from its close proximity to the new Leppington train station and proposed Badgerys Creek airport.”
CBRE’s Frank Oliveri said residential subdivision sites are arguably the most sought after commodity in Western Sydney and very few are presently available for sale.
“This opportunity will be particularly appealing, providing the chance to acquire a future residential development opportunity safeguarded by a short term leaseback, which will help offset planning and holding costs,” he said.
Expressions of Interest close Wednesday 12 April, 2017.

Inghams to sell western Sydney development site

A development site in Melbourne’s south-eastern suburb of Bentleigh with potential for a higher density residential project has been bought by a developer for $3.7 million. 
The 17-19 Loranne Street site spans 1398 sqm with 32 metres frontage, translating to a strong selling rate of $2,647 a square metre.
The deal was brokered by Savills’ Julian Heatherich and Jesse Radisich.
The agents said the property appealed to developers because of its inner bayside location and popularity as a residential suburb.
“Bentleigh, with its excellent level of lifestyle and retail amenity, access to public transport and key arterials, and close proximity to the CBD, continues to provide opportunities for development,” said Heatherich.
“The demand from apartment buyers has been a key driver and, with Melbourne’s population growth continuing to exceed all other capitals, that demand appears likely to remain.’’ 
The vendors were two private residential owners.

The brains behind the world's biggest all cross-laminated timber building, architect Andrew Waugh from Waugh Thistleton is coming to Australia to discuss future building materials following his experiences building Dalston Lane. 
Dalston Lane (above) is a 121-unit development made of cross-laminated timber (CLT) structure and will become tallest of its kind in the UK once built. It will feature over 12,500 sqm, of residential space and over 3,460 sqm of commercial space.
Dalston Lane is built of cross-laminated timber (CLT).   CLT experts have calculated that the building will save 2,400 tonnes of carbon, compared to an equivalent block with a concrete frame.
By using CLT construction, the embodied carbon is 2.5 times less than that of an equivalent concrete frame. Taking into account that timber stores carbon by absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, which is also known as ‘sequestered carbon’, the structure can be considered as ‘carbon negative’.

Adelaide’s West is on the rise with the $300 million West Franklin project leading the changes.
Greaton has awarded Built Environs the contract to build the New York inspired landmark development, one of the largest urban regeneration projects ever undertaken in Adelaide’s CBD.
Local Adelaide architects Brown Falconer led the exterior design and interior fit-out.

The highly sought after residences in the urban village precinct have been designed to meld with the historic fabric of the site. Its stylish glass, metal and stone exteriors are designed for the 21st century and will capture the attention of any discerning purchaser.

Dorothy Chapman, National Marketing Manager for Greaton comments, “A project of West Franklin’s scale has never been seen in Adelaide’s West. The architects were given a brief to create a visionary project that would become a legacy for the area.
“House purchasers are realising that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to live in Adelaide’s newest vibrant city precinct. The area was formerly home to Balfours, an iconic South Australian bakery and has been quiet for many years. The commencement of construction in April will re-activate the area and create an entirely new destination in Adelaide’s City West for all generations.”
