<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/draycon">Draycon Building</a> is nearing completion of Boutique Chevron Island, a 42-apartment development on the northern end of Chevron Island at 17–19 Parneno Street, with a limited-time offer of fully furnished apartments available.

Now more than 90 per cent complete, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/boutique-chevron-island-17-19-parneno-chevron-island-qld-4217">Boutique</a> has been shaped by one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held island addresses, where riverfront outlooks and walkable access to Surfers Paradise converge.

For Draycon Building Managing Director Howard Dabit, the appeal of the site was immediate.

“I knew it was a good site as soon as I saw it,” Dabit said.

“The position and location on the north end of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>, the way the river swirls around the site basically from the north to the east, it feels like the site is surrounded by the water. The height that we’ve got and the aspect looking north is beautiful. Eighty per cent of the apartments are looking north so they get that drenching sunlight coming in.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360922]

That northern orientation places the development within a stretch of Chevron Island defined by open river aspects and skyline views, while remaining embedded in the suburb’s established village setting.

Chevron Island has increasingly drawn owner-occupiers seeking centrality without the intensity of high-rise beachfront living. Positioned at the geographical centre of the Gold Coast, the island offers direct access to both the beach and key cultural infrastructure while retaining a neighbourhood-scale character.

Connected by bridge to Surfers Paradise, Chevron Island offers walkable access to beaches, riverfront parklands and a revitalised foreshore boulevard animated by walkers and cyclists throughout the day. The Pacific Ocean is only minutes away, reinforcing the suburb’s dual river-and-surf identity.

At the same time, Thomas Drive forms the spine of the island’s village life, delivering cafés, wine bars, casual dining and everyday services within easy reach. Independent grocers, wellness operators and neighbourhood retailers contribute to a community atmosphere that remains distinct from the vertical scale of the beachfront.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360915]

In the opposite direction, the Green Bridge links directly to HOTA – Home of the Arts – placing galleries, performance venues and parklands within walking distance. Weekly markets and major exhibitions draw visitors from across the region, while residents return to a quieter residential pocket at day’s end.

Public transport, including nearby bus routes and the G:link light rail corridor along the coastal spine, strengthens connectivity north and south. Griffith University, the Gold Coast University Hospital precinct and established private schools such as The Southport School are all within a short drive.

Ongoing investment across Surfers Paradise, HOTA and the broader Southport corridor has elevated amenity while preserving Chevron Island’s comparatively low-rise residential character. It is this balance, walkable village atmosphere paired with metropolitan-scale infrastructure, that continues to differentiate the suburb from higher-density beachfront precincts.

Boutique comprises just 42 residences, designed to maximise river and skyline outlooks within this tightly held island setting.

Boutique Chevron Island is slated for completion in April 2026, with prices starting from $1,220,000.

Draycon Building’s Boutique Chevron Island places 42 residences at the heart of the Gold Coast

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> has secured planning approval for a $300 million residential development in Lindfield, marking the company’s second project on Sydney’s North Shore and its first on the Upper North Shore.

Located on Beaconsfield Parade and designed by DKO Architecture, the state significant development comprises three buildings of up to 10 storeys and will include 399 residences, including 59 affordable homes and 40 adaptable homes.

Residences will range in size from one, two and three bedrooms, with two-bedroom apartments accounting for over 60 per cent of the product make-up. Residents will have access to a broad suite of amenities, including a wellness area, indoor and outdoor recreational spaces, a pool, a gym, a community room and a golf simulator.

In line with Deicorp’s long-standing focus on creating transit-oriented communities, the project is located just 260 metres from the Lindfield Train Station, reinforcing its role in delivering well-connected housing close to established infrastructure, retail and local services.

The inclusion of affordable and adaptable housing supports greater diversity within the local market, while the mix of apartment types responds to demand from downsizers, young professionals and families seeking access to the Upper North Shore.

Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri OAM said the approval represents an important milestone for both the company and the suburb

“This approval allows us to deliver well-designed homes in a location that is already supported by strong transport and community infrastructure," Deiri said.

"Our focus is on creating places that integrate into their surroundings and provide long-term value for residents, and the broader Lindfield community. Being within walking distance of the station ensures this project supports sustainable growth in the right locations."

Across its portfolio, Deicorp currently has 4,703 apartments under construction, playing a leading role in shaping connected, liveable communities across Sydney.

Its expanding portfolio of Metro-linked developments includes Tallawong Village, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-five-dock-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> in Five Dock, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hyde-metropolitan-sydney-133-141-liverpool-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Hyde Metropolitan</a> in Sydney CBD, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/falcon-alexander-crows-nest-8-alexander-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Falcon &amp; Alexander</a> in Crows Nest and Showground Village, Castle Hill.

Deicorp purchased the Beaconsfield Paradise site last year. Construction is scheduled to commence in Q2 of 2026 and will be completed in 2029.

In a joint venture with The Trump Organization, Australia developer Altus Property Group has announced plans to bring a Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower to the Gold Coast, marking the first Trump-branded project in Australia.

&nbsp;

"Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast is our first official project in Australia and reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering world-class luxury experiences in iconic locations around the world," Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, said.

"This development exemplifies the Trump brand’s dedication to quality, sophistication, and unmatched service, and we are thrilled to bring this vision to the vibrant Gold Coast community."

The 91-storey building, which will become the tallest in Australia at 335 metres, will feature a&nbsp;285-room luxury hotel bearing the trademark Trump logo. It will also include 272 luxury residential apartments, a three-level podium with an exclusive Beach Club, and over 3,400 sqm of premium commercial, retail, and dining space, revitalizing the central Surfers Paradise precinct.

“Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast will be a truly unique offering in the Australian market, bringing the prestige and allure of a world-class luxury brand,"&nbsp;Altus founder and chief executive David Young said.

"Altus Property Group is proud of its track record in delivering landmark developments across Australia, and our expertise ensures this project will be an outstanding success."

Trump Hotel heads for the Gold Coast to become Australia's tallest building

More than a century after the Corrimal Coke Works first opened in 1912, the industrial landmark that helped shape the suburb is being reinterpreted as a walkable residential neighbourhood, with Stage One of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-works-stage-one-27-railway-street-corrimal-nsw-2518">The Works</a> now underway at 27 Railway Street.

For 102 years, the site was central to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/corrimal-nsw-2518">Corrimal</a>’s economic and social identity before operations ceased in 2014. Rather than erasing that legacy, developer Legacy Property has embedded it into the masterplan, retaining and reinterpreting elements such as the iconic 1912 brick chimney and sections of the original C1 Coke Oven Battery, alongside the adaptive reuse of the former powerhouse building.

Stage One will introduce 181 apartments across low-rise buildings, offering predominantly two and three-bedroom residences with completion targeted for mid-2027. The scale and configuration reflect a deliberate focus on owner-occupiers, targeting those seeking a lower-maintenance home in a prime location within the northern suburbs of Wollongong.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359833]

Apartments have been designed to maximise natural light and cross-ventilation, with floor-to-ceiling glazing extending living areas onto generous balconies. Engineered timber flooring, induction cooktops and 900mm ovens in larger residences support everyday functionality, while two interior palettes allow buyers to tailor finishes to their preferences. The material selection draws on a restrained coastal language, intended to connect homes to their surroundings rather than compete with them.

The Works forms part of a broader 18-hectare masterplan that will ultimately deliver around 550 dwellings, new parks, and a heritage precinct celebrating the site’s past. More than seven hectares are dedicated to open space, including Southern Park and a Village Green with community gardens and recreation areas. The creek corridor is being rehabilitated with 150,000 native plantings, restoring biodiversity to the site and softening landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359841]

Positioned adjacent to Corrimal Station and within walking distance of Corrimal Town Centre, the precinct places daily essentials, rail connections and local retail within easy reach. Wollongong CBD, including the hospital, university and entertainment venues, sits approximately 6.5 kilometres to the south.

For buyers more familiar with North Wollongong, Corrimal offers a different proposition: a well-established coastal suburb framed by beaches to the east and the escarpment to the west, with a strong sense of local identity shaped in part by the former Coke Works. The Works seeks to reinforce that identity by creating a connected, walkable neighbourhood between coast and escarpment, rather than a standalone apartment complex.

Sustainability underpins the development approach. The Works is targeting Wollongong’s first 5-Star Green Star-rated community, with water-sensitive urban design, recycled materials and energy-efficient buildings integrated across the masterplan. For residents, these measures provide not only environmental benefits but also reduced operational costs and future resilience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359842]

With construction commenced and display materials available to view, prospective buyers can now engage more directly with the project’s vision, reviewing floorplans, material selections and the broader masterplan in detail. For many local homeowners weighing a move, the opportunity to experience how heritage, landscape and contemporary design intersect may help bridge the gap between familiarity and the next chapter.

As Stage One progresses toward its mid-2027 completion, The Works represents a significant chapter in Corrimal’s evolution, transforming a site that once powered local industry into a walkable residential precinct designed for its next generation of residents.

When it comes to developing in Melb​ourne's Bayside region, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lowe-living">Lowe Living</a> knows exactly what buyers want.

With a longstanding presence in the area and a string of sell-out projects, Lowe Living consistently delivers developments that are as sought-after as their predecessors.

Their latest instalment is in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-vic-3188">Hampton</a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-east-vic-3188">&nbsp;East,</a> the same postcode where they have previously delivered Hampton Hill and Oceano. The developer-builder recently commenced construction on its newest project,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marella-hampton-31-35-alicia-street-hampton-east-vic-3188">Marella</a>, a collection of 32 apartments just five minutes from the beach.

Site acquisition is paramount to success. Lowe Living rarely brings a building to market that isn’t within walking distance of essential amenities, whether it be the beach, a prominent retail strip, or a train station. Marella is no exception, located at its Alicia Street address, less than a kilometre from the retail heart of Hampton Street and Hampton Station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358495]

Equally important to Lowe Living is the architecture.

For Marella, they appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, who explains that the architectural vision was to create a contemporary reinterpretation of the Californian bungalow, a style that’s iconic to Hampton’s heritage.

"By borrowing, abstracting, and reinterpreting elements of this quintessential style, such as strong datum lines, articulated columns, exposed structures, and roof tiles, our design strikes a balance between modernity and familiarity," says Cera Stribley.

"This approach ensures that the development is not only visually appealing but also contextually sensitive, resonating with Hampton's existing architectural landscape."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358499]

The building features terracotta brick, soft cream masonry, and exposed metal detailing, giving it a tactile presence that is intended to weather gently over time.

Internally, the focus on lasting quality continues, with two and three-bedroom residences anchored by sculptural stone kitchen islands, natural light, and clearly defined transitions between living, dining, and outdoor spaces.

The layouts have been carefully designed. Open-plan zones extend to private balconies, with light-filled interiors and generous kitchen proportions, supported by Miele wall ovens, induction cooktops, and integrated fridge-freezers. These are not small apartments rebranded as luxury; they have been designed at scale, with ample storage, hotel-style entry access, and secure basement parking provided as standard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358492]

At the uppermost level, Marella’s Signature Collection penthouses offer city or bay views, large entertaining terraces (some with outdoor spas), and elevated finishes, including fully wrapped stone kitchen benches and a Liebherr wine fridge.

Flexible room arrangements allow for a fourth bedroom or secondary living space, sought-after by both empty nesters who want the space when family visits and families with older children.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358498]

A residents’ lounge on the ground floor reinforces the project’s small-community feel. With a fireplace, private dining area, and adjoining terrace, it’s one of several shared spaces that balance amenity with privacy and scale.

Construction has commenced, with completion expected in early 2027.

South Perth

A new landmark development is taking shape in South Perth, offering not just a place to call home, but an iconic piece of architecture that blends elegantly with its surroundings.

Perched between the river and the city, The Pearl by Prosper Living, draws inspiration from the nearby Swan River, incorporating soft curves to create a unique residential tower that promises to deliver premium living spaces and resort-inspired amenities to its future residents.

Each apartment at The Pearl represents a harmony of comfort, flexibility and functionality, with fluid, organic floor plans and premium finishes designed to enhance everyday living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203301]

A mix of apartment types are on offer within the soaring tower, with the residences beginning on level four.

There's a range of one and two-bedroom options in the lower floor levels, with just eight residences across each.&nbsp;

Level 11 is where the three-bedroom apartment options begin, with these levels only featuring six apartments across each floor plate.&nbsp;Crowning The Pearl are the penthouse apartments, with just three four-bedroom residences on offer.&nbsp;

The one-bedders span from 69 sqm through to 99 sqm, with each offering one-bathroom and one car space, while the two-bedroom apartments begin from 122 sqm through to 148 sqm, with two-bathrooms and two car spaces.&nbsp;

The three-bedroom apartments offer even more generous living space, covering from 163 sqm to 180 sqm, with the four-bedroom penthouses that largest in the mix, with up to 272 sqm of living space.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203306]

Residents of The Pearl have the opportunity to customise the interior of their apartments with a choice of three colour schemes, each one promoting a sense of understated style, elegance, and comfort.

Cleverly orientated to ensure that every apartment has access to natural light and ventilation, they also offer spacious balconies drawing in gentle breezes along with the far-reaching views.

The kitchens have been crafted to be the heart of the homes, while the bathrooms are functional and luxurious, with custom cabinetry, designer fittings and appliances, satin metal finishes, polished stone benchtops, and bespoke timber styling setting the bar for effortless contemporary elegance.

The Pearl: A new era in luxury living

With the lights of the CBD in its sights, South Perth offers some of the best skyline and river views in the city.&nbsp;

Offering a mix of swanky apartments and stately homes, the affluent suburb is home to the Perth Zoo, South Perth Foreshore, the historic Old Mill, as well as a string of prestigious schools and an endless range of cafes, restaurants and bars.&nbsp;

With only the Swan&nbsp;between residents and Perth’s CBD, the river plays a big part in South Perth’s identity and developers, Prosper Living, made sure to represent the iconic body of water in their latest residential project.&nbsp;

Inspired by the ancient Derbarl Yerrigan - the Swan River - The Pearl takes its place&nbsp;in a unique position on the South Perth peninsula, just under five-kilometres from the CBD.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203301]

Its slender silhouette is animated by its shimmering facade that reflects the light from the river and sky, while organic curved balconies sweep across the facade, taking on the form and movement of the water below.

Just beyond The Pearl’s crown-topped tower lies an abundance of recreational pursuits, from high-end shopping to world-class music events, international sporting events, festivals, arts, and even Perth Zoo, which is just one minute from The Pearl.&nbsp;

Locally, the Mends Street precinct is a one-top destination for shopping, cafes and restaurants. Residents will be nearby to the city’s laneways and galleries, along with a number of boutiques, bars and hidden gems, which are scattered about Perth, just a stroll away from the steps of The Pearl.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203307]

Tennis, bowling, golf and sailing clubs are also all close by, and the South Perth foreshore is a great spot for a sunset picnic as the lights of the city beckon across the river.

Kings Park – the green heart and lungs of the city – will connect residents back to nature. Two thirds of the expansive 4,000,000 sqm inner-city park is protected as bushland, providing a haven for a number of native animals, with the open green space also home to the Western Australian Botanic Garden, which has over 3,000 species of the State's flora.

For a trip beyond The Pearl, residents can take the ferry to Elizabeth Quay and savour all the delights of Perth’s newest dining and entertainment options. The waterfront precinct on the banks of the Swan River features the island playground, the BHP Billiton Water Park, along with public artwork, promenades, open spaces and a range of bars and restaurants. &nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203303]

A range of scenic river cruises sail across from Barrack Street Jetty to the Swan Valley, Fremantle and Rottnest Island, while visitors can also enjoy some time on a segway, a gondola ride on the Swan or just take a leisurely stroll alongside the river and across the bridge. There’s also 24 short term public boat moorings available.

A number of one, two, three and four-bedroom residences can still be purchased in The Pearl, which is slated for completion by mid 2025.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=9197]

How The Pearl takes advantage of its coveted South Perth location

Construction has commenced on the South Perth project, One Richardson, with one of Perth’s leading multi-residential and mixed-use builders on the task, Emco.&nbsp;

Developed by Subiaco-based developers, Devwest, One Richardson will deliver a collection of 75 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, along with a series of two-storey penthouses.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7809 project_image_fid=203882]

Over 50 per cent of the apartments have already sold in the project, which have been designed by MJA Studio.&nbsp;

Sitting atop a ground floor cafe, as well as a welcoming resident’s lobby, each apartment has been architecturally designed to suit a range of lifestyles and buyers.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The project also leverages on its enviable Swan River location.&nbsp;

Overlooking Richardson Park, One Richardson fronts an expansive public open space, which delivers not only park fronting apartments, but also creates uninterrupted river views, which are normally only attained in high rise developments, brimming with residences.&nbsp; &nbsp;

One Richardson offers a large range of leading sustainability initiatives to help reduce the development’s environmental footprint, including features such as solar energy to common areas, energy efficient lighting and appliances, water efficient tapware and fixtures, electric storage units, solar efficient glazing and more.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7809 project_image_fid=203877]

Centrally located on the corner of Richardson Street and Melville Parade, One Richardson enjoys views to the Swan River, along with a residential communal area located on the third floor, complete with barbecue facilities and lush landscaping.&nbsp;

Devwest have taken to transforming the Perth property market, with a number of projects currently in the works and recently completed including, The Bradshaw Residences in Manning and the soon to be launched, Olive Street apartments, which will form part of the revitalisation of Subiaco.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=7809]

Over 50 per cent of the apartments have already sold in the project, which have been designed by MJA Studio. 

Construction underway on South Perth apartments, One Richardson

Over the last few years, as people are spending more time in their home and working remotely, resident amenity in apartment towers has gone up several notches.

Resident amenity can be the defining factor in a buyer's decision to secure an apartment in one development over another, and developers are becoming wise to that fact.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203301]

Cygnet West's Director of Residential Projects, Sales and Marketing, Greg Billings&nbsp;says buyers are very well educated on the latest trends.

“Buyers know what they want in both design and specification - with the specification having the ability to make or break a project,” Mr Billings said.&nbsp;

One development ticking all the boxes on buyers’ lists is Prosper Living’s South Perth apartment project, The Pearl.

The Pearl’s amenities have been designed as an extension of the apartments, with Prosper Living’s CEO, Maggie Cai saying they provide a place for residents to interact with one another, and to relax without the need to maintain the facilities themselves.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203302]

“To reflect the beautiful Swan River and leafy parklands of South Perth, The Pearl uses many natural elements within the amenity level. From considered landscaping to herb gardens and citrus trees, residents will enjoy a tranquil oasis,” Ms Cai said.&nbsp;

“Residents can enjoy the beautiful river views from the resident's lounge, while the facilities also provide a place for wellness and well-being in which residents can escape from the busy city lifestyle without the need to travel.”

“The Pearl's amenities are like a resort hub for residents,” Ms Cai added.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Mr Billings highlighted how important the location was in the final design of the project, saying location is key, with buyers seeking walkability to shopping and restaurants, along with easy access to the city.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203307]

“Whilst there are various projects approved in the South Perth area already, it is likely future development will compromise the views for some of those projects,” he said.&nbsp;

“The majority of the apartments in The Pearl will have ‘forever views’ and with South Perth so keenly sought after by many buyers due to its proximity to the CBD and amenity, The Pearl has positioned itself as one of the stand out projects in the area.”

A variety of buyer demographics have been flocking to The Pearl, with predominately owner-occupiers securing apartments in the building.

That’s where the focus on the curated amenities particularly come into play, says Mr Billings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203306]

“The typical owner-occupier comes from a larger home and likely has many of these amenities in their existing property. Moving to The Pearl means they enjoy the use of the gardens and pool, plus the additional amenities, without having to manage or maintain them," Mr Billings concluded.

With sustainability also high on the buyer shopping list, a number of developers have looked to achieve environmental excellence in design and construction, with The Pearl meeting these standards with a 5 Star Green Star rating.&nbsp;

Spacious one-bedroom apartments with river views, start from $515,000 at The Pearl.

Coupled with a range of two, three and four-bedroom apartments, The Pearl has a home to suit everyone.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=9197]

The Pearl’s amenities have been designed as an extension of the apartments, with Prosper Living’s CEO, Maggie Cai saying they provide a place for residents to interact with one another, and to relax without the need to maintain the facilities themselves. 

Creating an extension to the apartment space: Inside The Pearl, an amenity-rich development

Perth property developer Prosper Living has just launched The Pearl, a mixed-use development on one of South Perth's best streets.

The Pearl will rise 25 levels from 3 Lyall Street, just a stones throw from the Swan River. There will be 137 one, two and three-bedroom apartments across the tower, which will also include three two-level sub-penthouses, as well as a special penthouse across the top two levels.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203313]

"The Pearl is destined to become a landmark in every direction across the city and the Swan River," Prosper Living say.

The Pearl has been designed to be&nbsp;delivered as a 5-star Green Star mixed-use development, with retail and hospitality located across the ground floor plane.&nbsp;

Following an open-plan layout, the apartments&nbsp;connect to expansive balconies, offering panoramic views across the River to the City skyline in the east, Matlida Bay to the west and the Canning Bridge and the Canning River in the south-east.

"The Pearl adopted a series of design strategies to reduce energy consumptions and enhancing thermal comfort via efficient central gas hot water plant, roof-mounted solar panels, high-efficiency LED lighting and appliances, smart control system, home energy and water metering systems to allow residents to track their water and energy used," the architect said to the project.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203302]

The Pearl will exceed solar access levels, with the dynamic shape of the building's footprint maximising&nbsp;natural cross-ventilation and light&nbsp;into each of the apartments, while&nbsp;high performance double glazing systems and beyond NCC standard insulations are also incorporated to maximise thermal comfort for residents.&nbsp;

A green spine softens The Pearl's façade, providing light throughout the development, with the greenery spilling into the lobby area.

Level three will be home to The Pearl’s residential amenity, with a lounge and dining area, along with a fully equipped kitchen and large temperature-controlled wine storage, a games room and pool table, and a 12-seater cinema.

The space is also set to include&nbsp;an infinity edge pool, with the pool deck sitting amongst lush greenery and a herb and citrus garden, as well as an alfresco entertainment area, complete with a barbecue area and an enclosed dining space, along with a massage room, a yoga deck, a gym and a sauna and steam room.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203450]

Completion on The Pearl is slated for the end of 2024.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=9197]

Comprising one, two and three-bedroom apartments, The Pearl will also home to three double-storey sub-penthouses, as well as one of Perth’s most impressive penthouses once its complete, topping out the residential tower on the 25th floor. 

Prosper Living launch 5-star Green Star-rated South Perth apartments, The Pearl

The Perth skyline is set to welcome&nbsp;one of the world&#39;s most unique towers to date.

Developer Grange Development has this week submitted plans to City of South Perth for what is set to be the world&rsquo;s tallest, $350million hybrid timber tower, and Western Australia&rsquo;s first carbon negative building.

If approved, the 183m high residential building, at 6 Charles Street, South Perth &ndash; aptly titled C6&nbsp;after the periodic table&rsquo;s symbol for Carbon - will become one of Australia&rsquo;s most ambitious carbon negative buildings, with only the Atlassian hybrid timber Tower in Sydney currently on target for a similar carbon negative status.

Designed by Fraser &amp; Partners - a research-based design studio that has emerged from Elenberg Fraser and created in response to the demands of our times and viewed through the lens of the climate crisis - C6 will be constructed using approximately 7,400m3 of timber leveraging Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), Glue Laminated Timber (Glulam) and Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL).

The proposal currently includes provisions for 245 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments set over 48 levels, a 500 sqm rooftop with an edible garden, dining and entertainment space, and 1650 sqm of communal wellness amenity.

<a href="/new-apartments/c6-6-charles-street-south-perth"><img alt="" height="846" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-21_at_9.10.45_am.png" width="1276" /></a>

At ground level, C6 will include a 2000sqm+ four-storey, split level, open-air piazza with a playground, cinema, horticultural zone, F&amp;B and entertainment precinct, equivalent in size to over 85% of the site, gifted back to Council and the community.

The public realm has been envisaged as a part paddock-to-plate urban farm and part immersive education hub in a visual and auditory experience.

Biophilic design is at the heart of C6, with almost 3,500 sqm of floral, edible, and native gardens. The building seeks to demonstrate that living in a building connected to nature provides tangible health benefits for its occupants.

In total, C6 will offer 18 sqm of communal space per apartment, which is 300 percent more than the current planning requirements of 6 sqm per apartment.

Through its extensive research and best practice benchmarking, Grange Development believes that hybrid timber buildings are the future of a carbon conscious construction industry, and if executed correctly, can transform the foundations of our built environments.

Grange Developer Founder and Director, James Dibble, said C6 represents the future of what is possible, except that it will be delivered now.

&ldquo;If we get this right, we should never have to rely on building another solely concrete or steel tower in our lifetime&rdquo; Dibble said.

&quot;The built environment is one of the three major drivers of catastrophic climate change, alongside transport and agriculture. With promising technological advances in both the transport and agriculture industries now working towards drastically reducing global carbon footprints, the property industry is lagging dangerously behind.

&ldquo;Timber as a building material has been around for centuries, but only recently has mass timber construction and fabrication methods made it a viable option en masse.&quot;

<a href="/new-apartments/c6-6-charles-street-south-perth"><img alt="" height="817" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-21_at_9.11.56_am.png" width="1155" /></a>

On-site energy production, a complete electric vehicle solution that can totally remove the need for fossil fuel-powered cars, ahuge focus on biophilic design to deliver tangible health benefits, and a building that actively sequesters carbon.

Post construction, Grange Development is committed to open source sharing the project&rsquo;s research, design and construction documentation, as a call to arms for other developers to take up, evolve and further progress this building methodology.

&ldquo;Steel and concrete are some of the most energy-dense materials in the world to produce and at the moment the industry relies on it. If we can accelerate a paradigm shift into the use of more renewable building materials such as mass timber in a hybrid nature and see even 10, 15 or 20 percent of future projects use mass timber in their construction in the next few years, we will have succeeded. At the moment that figure is almost zero. If nothing changes, nothing changes.

&ldquo;C6 will bring together global best-practice in biophilic design, sustainability, architecture and engineering. Fraser &amp; Partners shares our passion and vision for creating a viable solution to our built environments&rsquo; reliance on non-renewable materials, so together we want C6 to be the beacon of change this industry so desperately, and immediately needs,&rdquo; he said.

C6 has been submitted to council for planning approval, with the building earmarked to launch in the market next year.

Grange Developer Founder and Director, James Dibble, said C6 represents the future of what is possible, except that it will be delivered now.

Perth set for world first hybrid timber tower with 245 apartments

The longstanding Perth developer, Devwest, is&nbsp;set to bring something unique to the South Perth waterfront.

No stranger to mixing commercial office space in with their residential towers, Devwest, led by Tony Hatt,&nbsp;Chad Ferguson, Damon Ferguson and Brett Lovett, is creating two towers on the dress circle Richardson Street, one residential, one commercial.

It&#39;s the first time Devwest has created two standalone towers of commercial and residential in the same development.

Chad Ferguson, Devwest&#39;s Executive Director,&nbsp;says prospective home owners and business owners are rarely afforded the opportunity to work and live within the same development, while still being separate from the office.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7809 project_image_fid=193003]

&quot;It offers the convenience of working from home whilst at the same time allowing purchasers to separate work from home, it&rsquo;s the ultimate arrangement really&quot; Ferguson told Urban.

Ferguson said&nbsp;the&nbsp;development provided a rare&nbsp;opportunity for businesses to own their own space.

&ldquo;The ability to own office space in a landmark building with panoramic water views, in a blue-ribbon CBD fringe suburb, is very rare. Office space of this quality is usually only available to lease.&rdquo; Ferguson said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7809 project_image_fid=193004]

There&#39;s already been a sale to a small business owner, who has secured an office space in the commercial tower, and an apartment in the neighbouring tower.

&quot;We thought this type of arrangement may appeal to some people and it has already proven to be the case,&quot; Ferguson added.

Living near the office is something Ferguson knows only too well.

&quot;When I started out in early 2000, my apartment was located directly above our office,&quot; Ferguson said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7809 project_image_fid=193002]

&quot;My apartment was actually hard wired to the server!&quot;

Designed by MJA Studio, One Richardson will have 75 apartments across its 13 levels. Construction&nbsp;firm EMCO is undertaking the build, with completion slated for Q1 2024.

Ferguson is expecting buyers to be anyone from first home buyers and owner-occupiers to investors.

&quot;It&#39;s a bluechip location for anyone,&quot; Ferguson said.

&quot;It fronts the Swan River, enjoys easy&nbsp;access to the surrounding parks&nbsp;and golf course, and is easily&nbsp;accessible via the freeway and the future&nbsp;South Perth Railway Station, which will be on the doorstep.&quot;

One Richardson will have&nbsp;uninterrupted views of Richardson Park, Royal Perth Golf Course and the Swan River. Buyers can choose from one and two-bedroom apartments, or the unique two and four-bedroom, two-level lifestyle apartments that are located on the upper levels.

BrickX snapped up the character home just eight days in to its marketing.

Kensington's median house price value has increased 4.6% in the last five years. It now sits at $895,000, approaching its 2015 highs of $910,000.
It's now the fourth state BrickX invested in, with previous purchases in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.
