Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

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>.

A Fitzroy property which was put to the market at 11.45am on Monday morning sold at 2.30pm in the afternoon in the quickest sale of the year and a demonstration of the hot market for development sites in Melbourne.
The property, 44-46 Greeves Street is a 500 square metre building on a 450 square metre site and sold for $3.2 million to a local developer with plans for a boutique apartment project and sold with a short term lease
Clinton Baxter, Savills state director - CBD &amp; Metropolitan Sales said the purchaser had been an under-bidder for a property at 71-75 Argyle Street, Fitzroy which Savills sold last month to Piccolo Developments for $7.8 million.
"Currently, there are no freestanding commercial properties on the market in Fitzroy, so the timing couldn’t have been better,’’ he said. 
"The fact that the property was passed in at auction for $2.9 million by another agent last year clearly demonstrated the ongoing growth and demand in the market for boutique inner-suburban development sites.
"The vendor, a local investor, purchased the property in 1986 for $190,000 and has sold at an appreciation rate of $100,000 per year for 30 years."

An off-the-plan 300 sqm apartment at Manly on Sydney's northern beaches as been sold for $9.5 million at developer CostaFox's first project.
The Bower Street apartment fetched $33,800 a square metre - the highest price paid for the suburb when sold to a local buyer.
The previous Manly record was set in 2008 at $30,000 a square metre for the $12.2 million sale of an apartment at 133 North Steyne Road, Manly, according to the Australian Financial Review.
Architect Koichi Takada designed its nautical theme for the prior developers who have sold the project onto CostaFox which was founded by Michael Fox, the former chief executive of Little Projects. 
His new company is a joint venture with Costa Asset Management.
Four of the six apartments at CostaFox's 1189sq m Bower Street project at 102 Bower Street have sold on launch.
Buyers include Julie Meldrum, the corporate communications operative, and her husband Murray Millsom, a former TV producer, who recently had their nearby home listed at $6 million.
Construction of the project will start next month and be completed in 2018.
The project was initially launched in early 2015 as The Bower through Lloyds Property agent Haig Connolly with prices of between $3.9 million and $8.9 million.
The 1189sq m site with two exisiting blocks and frontages to Bower St and Marine Pde was then offered for sale, and went under contract late last year.
But Tim Grosman, national director with CBRE, told The Manly Daily the sale had failed to complete, and the owners had decided to re-offer the property.
<a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-land+development-nsw-manly-501831074" target="_blank">It resold</a> in March when developer Victor Fong of MV Projects secured $13.1 million.
Earlier this year there was the $7 million plus sale of coal miner Tony Haggarty’s Manly apartment overlooking Fairy Bower.
The four bedroom, three bathroom 430 sqm, Vince Squillace designed apartment is spread over two levels with a terrace with a glass walled plunge pool.
On the North Steyne promenade there was a $5,125,000 sale.
The Manly record still stands at $12.2 million when a five bedroom sub-penthouse down the road sold to the co-founder of Greenhill Caliburn, Peter Hunt and wife Ellie.
The Hunt couple bought the apartment off the plan with lap pool in 2008 in the Susan Rothwell designed Waillea building.

Almost 20 percent of office space in the $1.25 billion development by Cbus Property at 447 Collins Street Sydney has been taken.
International law firm King &amp; Wood Mallesons firm will lease 8300 square metres across levels 23 to 27, equating to approximately 20 percent of the development’s 49,000 square metres of NLA commercial space.
The dual tower project designed by SHoP architects and Woods Bagot will be connected by a sky-bridge is located on a unique 6000 square metre island site. 
The development will also feature 294 five-star hotel rooms, wellness centre and conferencing facilities, and residential apartments and is leased through Colliers International.
Colliers International national director of office leasing, Andrew Beasley, said demand for the development was already outperforming other projects in the CBD, with tenants keen to satisfy staff demand for amenity and wellbeing. 
"A desire to upgrade and relocate to new premises to avoid the disruptive nature of churning in their existing premises, was also driving enquiry," he said. 
“The interest received has already exceeded our expectations of the market. We anticipate being able to announce further details over the course of the next few weeks."

Crown Group has issued an update on their latest development project, the $395-million Waterfall by Crown Group, five kilometres from Sydney's CBD.
Located at O'Dea Avenue, Waterloo, it will feature four buildings, 331 apartments, vertical gardens and a rooftop infinity pool.
There is also going to be a seven storey water wall and a rainforest-inspired bamboo-covered walkway. 
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2016/07/18/unspecified.jpeg" alt="" width="687" height="911">
It is designed by architects SJB. Crown Group chief Iwan Sunito said it will create a green revolution in Sydney’s architecture.
“With Waterfall by Crown Group we set out to revolutionize the use of green space in residential developments; breaking away from tradition to cater for people looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle,” he said.
“It is everyone’s desire to find a place of escape; a place of tranquility. 
“Waterfall by Crown Group provides a sense of place, where people can feel both a connection with nature and the urban environment at once,” he added.

Miranda in the Sutherland Shire has fresh DA-approved plans for a 66 residential apartment development.
Located at <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-land+development-nsw-miranda-502032710" target="_blank">1-3 University Road, 668A, 668 and 670 Kingsway</a>, the 2872 sqm site will feature the residential building as well as two large town-home-style ground-floor apartments with garden terraces and upper floors with views over Cronulla.
The apartment mix is approved for 27 percent one bedroom apartments, 71 percent two bedroom and 2 percent three bedroom apartments.
The development site is expected to sell for more than $12 million.
Knight Frank agents Dominic Ong, Tim Holtsbaum, Andy Hu and Adam Bodon are managing the sale on behalf of a private family.
Head of Asian Markets Dominic Ong said it is likely to attract locally-based Asian developers. 
“We expect this premium, DA-approved site to appeal not only to a traditionally locally-dominated market, but also to attract the attention of astute developers in the wider Sydney market looking to capitalise on a core development opportunity with strong fundamentals," he said.
“The site is located close to Westfield Miranda, which recently underwent a $475 million redevelopment, and features large-scale retailers including Apple, Uniqlo, David Jones and Myer."
According to Knight Frank’s Director, Residential Site Sales, NSW Tim Holtsbaum,this is a sought-after location which will appeal to local developers and investors as well as local Asian investors. 
“Miranda and the Sutherland-Shire area is a well-established owner-occupier market," Tim said.
"The residential apartments will appeal to a broad range of local investors, including families and those seeking to downsize to large, two-bedroom apartment – a continuing trend.
“This is a rare opportunity to acquire a DA-approved site within such close proximity to infrastructure – there aren’t many opportunities such as this to buy in the area.
"A developer could be in the market selling the units fairly quickly, given the existing approvals." 
“There’s also a marketing suite onsite that can be utilised by an incoming developer to sell the units, which will be useful during the residential sales process."

A joint project by Brookfield and Cbus Property, Classic East Melbourne, is set to restore the historic Clarendon Street Mosspennoch House into six prestige apartments.
Classic East Melbourne, located beside Pullman on the Park, is a collection of three unique residential buildings featuring 67 large-format apartment residences in total.
It will also add a new seven level building, 22 Clarendon, next to Mosspennoch, complete with 11 half-floor apartments and a full-floor penthouse with wrap-around balcony with 360 degree views. 
A new fourteen level building, Parade, on Wellington Parade, featuring 49 apartments, including two penthouses.
The development is Designed by Bates Smart, with heritage architect Lovell Chen overseeing the restoration of Mosspennoch.
Bates Smart Studio Director Steve Jones said they wanted to create a collection of residences that blends the requirements of contemporary lifestyle with the grand style of living that is synonymous with East Melbourne.
“As a landmark site it required a sophisticated architectural response that is as timeless as the suburb of East Melbourne itself, while incorporating stunning views to the surrounding Fitzroy Gardens and Yarra Park," he said.
"Outdoor living is integrated into the design with generous private resident gardens supplemented by individual terraces and balconies to each of the apartments."
Carl Schibrowski, head of development, Brookfield Property Partners in Australia, said the collection of residences were a unique proposition, not only for their location in tightly held East Melbourne, but also for their triple offering and sweeping views of the CBD, iconic MCG and surrounding suburbs. 
“This is an iconic parcel that commanded a special approach out of respect of the site’s heritage and location,” he said. 
“It is one of the most unique developments we have created and a project we are confident stands apart from anything else in the market. From the start we were very fixed on delivering a boutique offering in this suburb, which is known for its privacy and exclusivity. 
“We will also be investing significant capital into repositioning the Pullman on the Park arrival experience as well as food and beverage offering, delivering a completed precinct solution to this important East Melbourne location.” 
Cbus Property CEO, Adrian Pozzo said the partners were confident the market was strong and that the generously sized apartments would appeal to the ever-growing empty nester and upgrader markets. 
“Classic East Melbourne adds three luxury penthouses to the market and we know there is an appetite for these statement homes," he said.
"In 2008, 150 Clarendon set the benchmark with its $18.2 million penthouse sale, showing the market values these special properties.”

The ‘AVA I’ development of 18 dwellings in Melbourne’s south-east growth corridor has won the Victorian Architecture Award for Residential Architecture (Multiple Housing).
The follow up release, ‘AVA II’, comprises ten townhouses and received the Award for Excellence in the category of Affordable Housing at last year’s Urban Development Institute of Australia Awards. It has been developed in conjunction with Wolfdene and architects SJB.
Wolfdene director Jon Aitchison said housing affordability remains a big issue in the Melbourne market, so our response was to deliver a quality medium density product that mixes design and function.
“From a design perspective, we wanted to bring the architectural quality identifiable with inner city developments to these new communities," he said.
“With blocks of land shrinking and housing density increasing, the challenge and opportunity was to provide more financially, socially and environmentally appealing homes. 
“Our belief is that affordable can still be aspirational, and our design team is constantly pushing themselves to remain ahead of the curve and set the standards for product being delivered in greenfield communities.”
Wolfdene’s latest completed development at Point Cook (above) features 44 two and three bedroom townhouses and is further evidence of their commitment to delivering design that positively contributes to the built environment.

Townhouse development scoops architecture awards

Allure on Ludwick Cannon Hill is a development by Your Style Homes which is now almost sold out with just two apartments left.  
The apartments featured an oversized floor plan which is above the average apartment square meterage for a Brisbane one bedroom dwelling.
Managing director Dean Parker believes this offering has formed a large part of its success in a tough apartment market. 
The newly completed 58 Ludwick Street project by developers Your Style Homes has one-bedroom units featuring a combined internal and external floor space of 69 sqm including balcony or courtyard, significantly larger than Brisbane’s reported typical one bedroom apartment size of 52 sqm. 
Just two dwellings remain for sale in the 30-apartment complex after the project launched to market in late 2015 with prices starting from $325,000. 
The development is now attracting strong interest from younger renters who have begun to move in. 
Dean Parker said the apartments addressed all buyers’ wish lists in a suburb with a low suburb vacancy rate of just 1.22 per cent. 
“Our spacious, well-designed one bedroom apartments started at $325,000 - well below the $400,000 to $499,000 price point, considered the “sweet spot” for a one bedroom Brisbane apartment.  
 “These apartments offered two different colour schemes and a choice of a balcony or courtyard with secure car parking, providing a spacious and high quality offering residents. 
“We know buyers seeking one and two-bedroom stock are price-sensitive but also wish to purchase a dwelling that maximises value for money through a lower price coupled with strong potential yields. This value was recognised by buyers at Allure, and has now been passed on to renters who are now eager to move into the development,” Mr Parker said. 
The project sits less than 10 kilometres to Brisbane’s CBD and is placed 150 metres from the forthcoming $600m East Village precinct which is set to offer high quality retail and restaurant options from the designers of Brisbane’s Emporium.
Allure apartments are only a 550m walk to Cannon Hill’s Kmart Plaza. 
The two apartments remaining for sale include one one-bedroom apartment for $345,000 and one two-bedroom apartment for $465,000. Two bedroom apartments feature a combined internal and external area of 93 square metres.
