Growing national developer Time &amp; Place has announced its fifth new apartment development.

With two projects in Manly and two upcoming in Surry Hills and Potts Point, the developer, which expanded beyond Melbourne just a few years ago, is now heading to Mosman. It is planning 53 new apartments on Redan Street.

The 3,233 sqm site, spanning <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/40-48-redan-street-mosman-nsw-2088">40–48 Redan Street</a> with frontage to Redan Lane, is located just under 400 metres from Spit Junction Town Centre. It is reported the developer paid around $100 million for the five-site amalgamation.

Time &amp; Place, founded by Tim Price and backed by James Packer’s private investment firm NPACT, has submitted the project as a State Significant Development through the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority pathway.

Of the 53 apartments, 42 will be released to the market, with the remaining 11 allocated as affordable housing in line with NSW Government requirements.

fjc Studio has designed the building. In its Design Report, the architect said the diverse mix of dwelling types and sizes, including 11 two-bedroom affordable housing units, 40 three-bedroom apartments, and two four-bedroom residences, will support a broad demographic, including families, downsizers, and key workers.

The development will rise to nine levels, a height encouraged by the NSW Government due to the site’s proximity to Spit Junction, which has been identified as a low- to mid-rise centre. Developments within a certain proximity to these centres are permitted increased height.

fjc said the project “achieves an appropriate density outcome for its setting by balancing increased housing supply with strong amenity performance,” adding that it “makes a measurable contribution to NSW housing supply targets through the delivery of additional dwellings and dedicated affordable housing.”

The new development will replace five existing two-storey homes.

“By aligning with the objectives of the Housing SEPP and applying careful architectural and urban design principles, the development provides high-quality residential accommodation that integrates sensitively within its established Mosman context and delivers enduring benefits to residents and the wider community.”

Mosman has become increasingly popular with developers in recent years.

Developer Abadeen has been particularly active, with Mosman Residences currently on the market and under construction on Clifford Street. It also has an upcoming Burran Avenue project, comprising just three apartments on the Balmoral Slopes, and recently secured the Midas and Honeysuckle nursery site on Military Road.

Prosker Property has a project on Redan Lane, just a few doors down from Time &amp; Place’s proposed development.

Developers including Toohey Miller, DARE Property Group, and WINIM also have projects underway in the area. In 2024, a five-year target was set for the Mosman LGA to increase housing supply by 500 dwellings by 2029.

Time &amp; Place entered the Sydney market with Two Tides, its under construction Manly development. Given its sales success, it has secured another development in the area, more boutique, facing the beach on North Steyne.

They are hoping to launch their redevelopment of The Chimes in Potts Point this year, and next year will look to take to market Marlborough House, an adaptive re-use of the landmark David Jones warehouse in Surry Hills.

Time & Place to take on Mosman apartment market

Brunswick’s civic heart continues to consolidate around the Merri-bek Arts and Culture Precinct, where a growing cluster of cultural institutions, recreation facilities, and public infrastructure has created one of the inner north’s most defined community hubs.&nbsp;

Within this evolving precinct, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/saxon-street-by-milieu-brunswick-31-saxon-street-brunswick-vic-3056">Saxon Street by Milieu</a> introduces new housing directly alongside the civic anchors that shape daily life in the suburb.

At 31 Saxon Street, the project sits immediately beside Brunswick Baths and within moments of Brunswick Library and Town Hall, longstanding institutions that support both community services and everyday amenity.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136434 project_image_fid=348840]

Next door, the newly delivered Balam Balam Place arts precinct has emerged as a central piece of Merri-bek Council’s cultural strategy, bringing together creative studios, exhibition spaces, maternal and child health services, and community programming in a purpose-built civic facility. Together, these destinations have reinforced the surrounding blocks as a focal point for public life in Brunswick.

This part of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/brunswick-vic-3056">Brunswick</a> forms a key pocket within the suburb’s designated Major Activity Centre, where long-term planning has prioritised walkability, civic investment, and increased housing supply close to transport and services. The surrounding street network reflects that strategy, with compact blocks, established retail corridors and active transport links supporting a lifestyle that is largely navigable on foot.

Within a few minutes’ walk, Sydney Road delivers one of Melbourne’s most recognisable streets, known for its long-running mix of independent retailers, international dining venues and everyday convenience. Tram routes along Sydney Road provide frequent connections south toward the CBD and north through Brunswick and Coburg, while Jewell Station on the Upfield line sits within roughly a ten-minute walk, offering direct train access into the city.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136434 project_image_fid=348839]

Active transport also plays a significant role locally. The nearby Upfield Bike Path forms a key north–south cycling corridor linking Brunswick through Parkville and into the central city, reinforcing the area’s reputation as one of Melbourne’s most accessible inner-urban neighbourhoods for cyclists and pedestrians alike.

The surrounding civic cluster extends beyond cultural infrastructure. Siteworks, a nearby creative hub supporting artists and community organisations, adds to the concentration of cultural activity in the immediate area. Educational institutions such as Brunswick North Primary School, Brunswick Secondary College and RMIT’s Brunswick campus are also within easy reach, contributing to the suburb’s diverse resident base spanning families, students and professionals.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136434 project_image_fid=348841]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/jackson-clements-burrows-architects">Jackson Clements Burrows Architects</a> in collaboration with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/designoffice">DesignOffice</a> and landscape architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/oculus">OCULUS</a>, the nine-level building has been shaped to respond to the surrounding streetscape, with lower levels aligning to the street and upper storeys stepping back to soften its scale and improve solar access.&nbsp;

Curved balcony forms reference nearby heritage architecture, while the development’s public realm improvements include a widened footpath along Saxon Street to strengthen pedestrian connections between the precinct’s civic sites.

Sustainability also underpins the project’s approach. The building is designed to operate entirely on electric infrastructure supported by rooftop solar, with an average 7.5-star NatHERS energy rating and EV-charging readiness across the development. Shared resident amenities will include a landscaped rooftop terrace with barbecue and covered dining areas intended to encourage informal interaction between residents.

Saxon Street marks developer Milieu's fifth project in Brunswick and continues its focus on design-led infill housing across Melbourne’s inner suburbs.&nbsp;

Construction has commenced through reputable builder Manresa, who will complete the project in 2027.

Saxon Street by Milieu connects residents to Brunswick’s cultural and civic core

Within <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/candela-ivanhoe-40-upper-heidelberg-road-ivanhoe-vic-3079">Candela Ivanhoe</a>, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/salter-brothers">Salter Brothers</a>&nbsp;takes a different approach to larger residences, moving away from the constraints of a single level.

In Grand Residence 3.05, known as the Lustre, plays out across two levels, with a mezzanine configuration that is uncommon in apartment living.

Lustre is a four-bathroom residence where the layout creates a clear distinction between shared and private zones, with uninterrupted views toward the Dandenong Ranges extending the sense of openness from the main living areas.

Entry is to the primary living level, where the kitchen, dining, and living areas are arranged as one continuous space. Timber flooring runs throughout, with a fireplace set within the living zone. Full-height glazing brings in natural light, supported by double glazing that improves thermal performance.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357506]

The kitchen is configured as both a working and social space. A large island bench provides seating, while a walk-in pantry extends storage beyond typical apartment expectations.

Gaggenau appliances, including a 900mm gas cooktop and 600mm oven, are integrated into a layout that connects directly to the adjacent dining and living areas, and outward to the terrace. This balcony includes a built-in BBQ, reinforcing the apartment’s capacity to accommodate larger gatherings without compromising internal space.

A dedicated laundry room, powder room, and a wine cellar area sit discreetly off the main living zone, ensuring that functional requirements are resolved without encroaching on primary living areas. The master suite is also located on this level, designed as a retreat with a walk-through wardrobe and an ensuite that includes double vanities, a bath, and a dedicated dressing table.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357508]

The mezzanine level introduces a second layer of living, rather than simply additional bedrooms. Two large bedrooms with built-in robes are positioned alongside a central bathroom, while a secondary lounge and study area create a self-contained zone suited to children, guests, or extended family. A large storage room further supports long-term usability, addressing a common shortfall in apartment design.

This separation of levels is central to how the residence functions day-to-day. It allows the lower level to operate as the primary entertaining and living space, while the upper level provides privacy and flexibility. The result is closer in feel to a townhouse or standalone home, but with the benefits of apartment living, security, and low maintenance.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=364553]

Candela is close to 80 per cent complete, with Ironside delivering construction ahead of its expected October 2026 completion. The development comprises 58 residences, with a strong owner-occupier profile and a mix of one to four-bedroom apartments and loft-style townhouses.

Candela has exclusive access to private amenities, including a residential lounge and rooftop terrace. A charming café and a lifestyle wellness centre are located on the ground level, designed to foster community connection and extend the living experience beyond individual apartments without competing with the scale of homes like Lustre.

Candela, positioned in the heart of Ivanhoe Village, reinforces the practicality of the address. With a Walk Score of 90, residents are within immediate reach of cafés, retail, parklands, and Ivanhoe Station, while also benefiting from proximity to established schools and healthcare services.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/milieu-property">Milieu</a>’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elsternwick-gardens-by-milieu-8-gordon-street-elsternwick-vic-3185">Elsternwick Gardens</a> is being shaped around a simple but increasingly rare premise in apartment development: that the built environment should actively support residents’ wellbeing.&nbsp;

Located on the former ABC Studios site on Gordon Street in Melbourne’s south-east, the new neighbourhood sits on an expansive 11,740 sqm site neighbouring the heritage-listed Rippon Lea Estate, whose gardens date back more than 140 years.

Rather than positioning wellness as an add-on amenity, the development integrates it into the physical planning of the site. Architecture by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> is arranged across six low-rise buildings set within extensive landscaping designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/oculus">OCULUS</a>, with more than 40 per cent of the land dedicated to gardens and green space. Walking trails, pocket gardens, and mature trees are threaded between buildings, creating a network of green corridors that encourage residents to move through the precinct on foot and spend more time outdoors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136535 project_image_fid=288420]

Milieu has intentionally framed these gardens as an extension of the neighbouring Rippon Lea Estate. More than 16,000 new plants will be introduced across the site, with species carefully selected to protect and complement the area’s ecological significance. The approach focuses on strengthening existing environmental conditions while establishing new habitats that support native wildlife, reinforcing the role of the landscape as both an active ecosystem and a defining element of daily life.

A private resident gate will provide direct access to the historic grounds during opening hours, allowing residents to move seamlessly between the development’s landscaped gardens and the estate’s expansive lawns, lakes, and mature trees. The project’s gardens will also be maintained by the same gardeners responsible for Rippon Lea, reinforcing the visual and ecological continuity between the two landscapes.

Complementing the landscape is a dedicated wellness hub designed to support everyday health and recovery. Residents will have access to a gym alongside yoga and Pilates studios, while mineral pools and infrared saunas provide spaces for relaxation and restorative wellbeing. Shared lounges, workshop spaces, and pet care facilities expand the concept of wellness beyond fitness, creating opportunities for social connection and community interaction within the precinct.

Environmental performance is another key component of the project’s wellbeing focus. Elsternwick Gardens will be entirely fossil-fuel-free, with homes designed to operate on renewable electricity rather than gas. Passive design strategies, including cross-flow ventilation, high-performance insulation, and thermally broken double glazing, are intended to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures while reducing energy demand. Solar photovoltaic systems will power common building services, while rainwater harvesting will help irrigate the extensive landscaping across the site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136535 project_image_fid=361030]

Milieu Founder and Managing Director Michael McCormack says the scale and setting of the project allowed the team to take a different approach to urban apartment living.

“This site represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build something truly special,” McCormack says.

“Through that process, we arrived at a design that centres on a fully realised natural landscape – a series of private, interconnected gardens that encircle the homes and extend seamlessly from Rippon Lea Estate.”

Elsternwick Gardens will comprise three residential offerings, Gordon Place, Ripponlea Terrace, and The Garden Pavilion, each designed for owner-occupiers and shaped around high-quality interior design by Woods Bagot, K.P.D.O., and Flack Studio. The first stage, Gordon Place, includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments designed with a strong focus on indoor-outdoor living and sustainability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136535 project_image_fid=288412]

Milieu recently appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/brady-constructions">Brady Constructions</a> to deliver the project, marking a key milestone for the development. The appointment follows the demolition of the former studio buildings on the Gordon Street site, with construction progressing toward the delivery of the nature-led community.

Situated between the established villages of Elsternwick and Ripponlea, the development balances its garden setting with strong urban connectivity. Residents will be within walking distance of cafés, restaurants, and local retail, while nearby train and tram connections provide quick access to Melbourne’s CBD and the beaches of Elwood and St Kilda.

With construction underway and the first residents expected to move in by early 2027, Elsternwick Gardens represents a growing shift in apartment development toward environments that prioritise wellbeing as much as density or location. By placing landscape, sustainability, and shared spaces at the centre of the design, Milieu is positioning the project as a residential neighbourhood where wellness is not just promoted, but built into the structure of everyday life.

Elsternwick Gardens' wellness-first design strategy

Brisbane-based developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/red-co">Red &amp; Co</a> has made a striking debut on the Gold Coast, officially unveiling its $250 million COMO development in Varsity Lakes, a lifestyle-driven residential project anchored by an extensive rooftop wellness and activity precinct.

Having recently launched to market, construction has already been fast-tracked by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/5point-projects">5Point Projects</a>, ensuring momentum continues on what is set to become a landmark residential address for the growing Varsity Lakes community.

Located at 22 Lake Street, Varsity Lakes, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/como-varsity-lakes-22-lake-street-varsity-lakes-qld-4227">COMO</a> will comprise 156 apartments across 16 levels, comprising one-, two- and three-bedroom residences designed for modern living. However, it is the project’s rooftop amenity offering that sets COMO apart.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363510]

Designed as a dedicated wellness and recreation hub, the rooftop will feature a 25-metre lap pool, fully equipped gymnasium, and multiple pickleball and paddleball courts - amenities rarely seen in boutique apartment projects.

Residents will also have access to a sauna and plunge baths, while landscaped gardens and relaxation zones will provide tranquil spaces overlooking sweeping panoramic views across the Gold Coast skyline.

The rooftop precinct has been designed to function as the social and wellness heart of the development, encouraging residents to embrace an active, balanced lifestyle within their own building.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363512]

Red &amp; Co director David Laverty said the amenity offering was central to the project’s design from the outset.

“Amenities were at the forefront of our decisions,” Laverty said.

“Buyers today are looking for more than just an apartment - they want a lifestyle that promotes health, connection and balance.

“The rooftop at COMO has been designed to be the epicentre of that lifestyle, with a suite of wellness and recreation facilities that are quite unique for a boutique development of this scale.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363514]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, the residences prioritise liveability, featuring spacious layouts, 2.7-metre ceilings and high-quality finishes throughout.

The development sits beside Bond University, placing residents within walking distance of education, retail and dining options within the vibrant Varsity Lakes precinct, including Robina Town Centre, Varsity Lakes Train Station and a range of leading schools.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363511]

Laverty said the location was a key driver behind Red &amp; Co’s decision to bring the project to the Gold Coast.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/varsity-lakes-qld-4227">Varsity Lakes</a> was a clear choice for us to invest in as it’s a lifestyle hub that seamlessly blends lakeside living with urbanity,” he said.&nbsp;

“Como will capitalize on this great location, delivering a project that not only creates premium homes, but a lifestyle defined by community, wellbeing, and connectivity.”

Red &amp; Co has delivered more than 500 apartments and townhouses across 26 projects in Brisbane in recent years, with COMO marking the company’s first major Gold Coast development.

Southbank apartments

While South Bank generally refers to the collection of suburbs south of a river that dissects the city (think Brisbane or London), Melbourne's Southbank is a suburb in its own right, and it's arguably the most connected suburb in the whole of Melbourne.

Given its proximity to the city and the river, it's no surprise that the near-12,000 apartments make up over 98 per cent of dwellings in the 3006 postcode, the 2021 ABS Census showed.

Private investment from the commercial, retail, and hospitality sectors has matched the increase in density and population, turning Southbank into one of the city's most vibrant residential and cultural hubs, right on the Yarra River. The focal point of <a href="/new-apartments/southbank-vic-3006">Southbank</a> is the casino Crown Melbourne, having stood just off the river for the best part of two decades, while the Melbourne Arts Centre and the National Gallery of Victoria are also key destinations.

It wasn't until the 1990s when the suburb began its development, having predominantly been a commercial and industrial area. Now skyscrapers line the skyline.

Just over two decades ago, work began on <a href="/buildings/eureka-tower-7-riverside-quay-southbank">Eureka Tower</a>, which by the time it completed in 2006, was the tallest residential building in the southern hemisphere at nearly 300 metres, putting Southbank on the global map.

That was topped in 2020 when the 317-metre <a href="/buildings/australia-108-southbank-70-southbank-boulevard-southbank">Australia 108</a> was completed. Australia 108, only 200 metres from the front door of Eureka, comprises 1105 apartments across a 100-level building.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=582 project_image_fid=182857]

It was one of the first crop of towers with upscaled resident amenities, a trend which we've seen only grow in the last five years.

The building boasts two exclusive resident grand lobbies with lounges and a hotel-style porte-cochere. The Sky Rise Club features a heated indoor swimming pool, a sauna, a fully equipped gym, a theatre, a grand dining room, and a virtual golf room.

The Star Club, on Levels 70 and 71 and reserved for owners of the more premium apartments, features double-height, full glass infinity pools with spa facilities, along with two state-of-the-art gyms, dining rooms, expansive lounge rooms, a reading room, a private cinema, and a sky garden.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=582 project_image_fid=182879]

One of the newest tower developments in development in Southbank is <a href="/new-apartments/sth-bnk-by-beulah-southbank-60-southbank-boulevard-southbank">STH BNK by Beulah</a>. One of the two towers, at 366 metres, will be the tallest in Australia.

The 367-apartment development has already seen records shattered after it hit the market last year.&nbsp;A penthouse broke the Melbourne off the plan apartment record when it sold for $35 million, only to be topped by a sub penthouse <a href="/news/vic/sth-bnk-by-beulah-breaks-melbourne-apartment-record-again">that sold for $38 million</a>.

At the heart of&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/sth-bnk-by-beulah-southbank-60-southbank-boulevard-southbank">STH BNK by Beulah</a>&nbsp;will be the world’s tallest ‘greenscraper’—promising a green, active and connected urban environment with the future of retail innovation, customised hospitality, fresh food perspectives, cultural experiences, and vitality and wellness at its core.

A wellness precinct, located on an entire podium level in&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/sth-bnk-by-beulah-southbank-60-southbank-boulevard-southbank">STH BNK by Beulah</a>, is designed to be the city's world-class, all-in-one health and wellness destination backed by science's leading practices.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=221153]

International developer&nbsp;<a href="/developers/osk-property">OSK Property</a>&nbsp;is also working on one of the largest mixed-use precincts in Melbourne nearby.

<a href="/buildings/melbourne-square-93-119-kavanagh-street-southbank">Melbourne Square</a>, across an unrepeatable two-hectare site on City Road above Melbourne’s internationally acclaimed Arts Precinct, is well into its development, with two towers already completed and ready to move in.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211867]

Currently under construction is <a href="/new-apartments/blvd-at-melbourne-square-19-hoff-boulevard-southbank">BLVD</a>, the latest stage which offers just over 600 apartments across a 74-level tower littered with facilities like&nbsp;private dining rooms, state-of-the-art gyms, a 25m indoor swimming pool, spa, sauna, golf simulator, entertainment and lounge spaces, and a double-storey co-working area on levels 55 and 56.&nbsp;

Multiplex is building BLVD, which is slated for completion in early 2028.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2929 project_image_fid=201012]

While precedent has been set for towers getting up to 100 levels, not every development in Southbank is reaching that high into the sky.

Almost boutique at 62-levels is The Queensbridge Building by Time &amp; Place, MaxCap Group and Hickory, under construction on Queensbridge Street, just one street back from Crown Melbourne.

<a href="/new-apartments/the-queensbridge-building-southbank-90-queensbridge-street-southbank">The Queensbridge Building</a> will have 367 apartments which will share the building with the 188-room Hannah St. Hotel, operated by TFE Hotels.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1504 project_image_fid=272071]

Only a handful of developments have completed in recent years. Central Equity's FOCUS is Melbourne's most awarded high-rise development in 2023.

<a href="/buildings/focus-melbourne-81-city-road-southbank">FOCUS</a>, rising 50 levels on City Road, won the&nbsp;prestigious Victorian Housing Award from the HIA, and also a coveted UDIA Victoria Award for Excellence.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3260 project_image_fid=206139]

The $450 million FOCUS Melbourne comprises a&nbsp;mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.

International developer Landence also recently completed its slice of Southbank. <a href="/buildings/the-evermore-southbank-58-66-dorcas-street-southbank">The Evermore</a>, a two-tower development designed by Hayball closer to the Botanic Gardens than the Yarra River, has over 50 different floorplans for buyers to choose from.

There are 366 one, two and three-bedroom apartments in The Evermore, atop a&nbsp;podium level housing upscale retail spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2087 project_image_fid=237888]

Enquiry for apartments in Southbank on Apartments.com.au has been dominated by&nbsp;first home buyers since the start of 2024.

They represent 46 per cent of enquiry in Southbank this year, followed by those buying their next home (34 per cent), and then investors (20 per cent).

Project searches in Southbank spiked by nearly 60 per cent from September to October, with enquiry also jumping by 75 per cent.

Southbank’s skyline evolution: The rise of new apartment living on the Yarra River

Southbank, <a href="/developments/southbank-vic-3006">the epicentre of Melbourne's culture scene</a>, is set to see a striking addition to it's residential pipeline with Young Group's Aurum on Clarendon,&nbsp;a distinct new landmark designed by award-winning architecture group Fender Katsalidis.

The development will stand out amongst <a href="/developments/southbank-vic-3006">Southbank's grand towers and high-rise buildings</a>, due in part to its graceful golden forms and sleek, modern design.

Aurum's signature circular motif is artfully incorporated into its street-level façade, engaging with passersby and introducing visitors to the exceptional design that lies within. As one's gaze ascends, the building's exterior transitions into a simpler, lighter expression of sleek, gridded glass, beautifully reflecting the brilliance of Melbourne's cityscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4843 project_image_fid=70631]

There's three different categories of residences in Aurum; the Classic Residences, the Bespoke Residences and the Penthouse collection.&nbsp;

The Penthouses, elevated in scale and luxury, offer an extravagant amount of space and opulent details. What sets these residences apart is the personalised approach they offer, allowing residents to tailor the floor plan to suit their individual lifestyles.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4843 project_image_fid=70635]

From the layout to the finest finishing touches, the Penthouses at Aurum are a testament to bespoke living at its finest.

The Bespoke Residences, on the other hand, are defined by their generous proportions and unique details. These residences feature a sculptured island bench, stone accents, and custom-made joinery that is exclusive to Aurum.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4843 project_image_fid=70637]

For those seeking a more classic and sophisticated living experience, the Classic Residences at Aurum offer a blend of timeless design and modern comfort. The interiors boast rich stone finishes and parquetry flooring, elevating these residences to the pinnacle of elegance.

Private balconies, seamlessly integrated into the building's form, serve as light-filled outdoor retreats, providing residents with sweeping views of the surrounding cityscape.

The sculptural masterpiece STH BNK By Beulah is set to become Australia’s first five-minute vertical city, providing residents with a plethora of everyday essentials and world-class offerings within walking distance.

The vertically integrated city within a city will offer over 100 shops spanning retail, everyday essentials, food and dining (inclusive of a fresh food market), a comprehensive wellness precinct, a childcare centre, extensive green spaces including rooftop gardens and eight pocket parks dotted throughout, an innovative cultural centre in partnership with Centre Pompidou, over 50,000 sqm of commercial office space, in addition to a diverse residential offering.

Beulah's five-minute vertical city is substantially lower than the 15-minute benchmark set by planning models across the world, which was first introduced by French-Colombian scientist Carlos Moreno in 2016.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=194914]

In 2019, the Victorian Government launched a 20-minute neighbourhoods pilot program, following research that 20 minutes is the maximum time that people are willing to walk to meet their daily needs locally.

There is also evidence that active, walkable places produce a wealth of health, social, economic and environmental benefits.

At the helm of the globally collaborative project is Beulah Executive Director Adelene Teh, who says STH BNK offer residents a cosmopolitan lifestyle that prioritises not just health and wellness, but ultimate convenience in the heart of Melbourne.

“Evidence suggests that active, walkable places produce not only health and environmental benefits, but social and economic too. STH BNK By Beulah is redefining what can be made possible by exploring true vertical living."

"By providing a mini metropolis that truly has everything within walking distance, individuals can spend more time on what matters most, as opposed to travelling or commuting.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=214049]

The State Government’s program outlines six key focus areas, with STH BNK By Beulah covering all six areas and more, to create a thriving mini-metropolis in the heart of Melbourne.

The first hallmark is being safe, accessible and well connected for pedestrians and cyclists to optimise active transport. STH BNK By Beulah achieves this via safe cycling networks, walkability and the STH BNK Auto Club: a fleet of 50 cars for residents to book via a car-share subscription. STH BNK By Beulah also provides services and destinations that support local living via childcare and play spaces, co-working spaces and art and culture offerings via a global partnership with Centre Pompidou.

Open spaces are addressed via local playgrounds, rooftop gardens, pocket parks and sport and recreational facilities, including exercise equipment and meditation zones, while urban farms, an outdoor cinema, cooking and dining facilities allow for improved wellbeing as a result of increased connection time.

Other hallmarks the project meets include delivering housing at density, including housing diversity across multiple sizes and price points, as well as facilitating access to quality public transport, with an abundance of trams, trains and buses within reach.

The thriving economy hallmark takes shape in the form of a world-class retail precinct, fresh food market, world-class entertainment and a global hotel.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8804 project_image_fid=214050]

According to the government’s pilot program, if 50 per cent of short private vehicle trips were instead made walking, it would save the Victorian economy approximately $165 million a year in congestion, health, infrastructure and environmental costs. This projection indicates the benefits yet to come with STH BNK’s further reduced travel time.

In addition, by participating in 15-minutes of walking a day, five days a week, the disease burden from physical inactivity would reduce by about 13 per cent, while walkable streets and community spaces can provide critical opportunities for social interaction and social cohesion.

UNStudio Founder Ben van Berkel said it was important to create a building that does much more than just incorporate planting and green areas, to instead be highly biophilic.

“Mixed-use projects are extremely complex. They need to consolidate many different functions for a wide variety of user groups. With STH BNK By Beulah, this also involves a vast public component, so we had to programme the project in the right way to be able to have something for everybody on the site; to create a village in the city for a healthy and inclusive community,” he said.

STH BNK By Beulah to become Australia’s first ‘five-minute vertical city’

It’s quite rare to be able to buy into a completed and ready-to-move-in residential development in the heart of Melbourne, much less one that spans an entire inner-city block.&nbsp;

But buyers can still find a home in OSK Property’s Southbank development, Melbourne Square, which comprises two towers; the East and West Tower, along with a curated selection of retail, dining and amenity offerings.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2929 project_image_fid=200839]

The design, by Cox Architecture, focussed on creating a community where every resident’s needs could be met within a short walk, with Southbank home to some of Melbourne’s most dynamic activity zones, including the arts precinct, the Yarra River, a number of sporting venues and open green spaces.&nbsp;

Two and three-bedroom floorplans can still be purchased in the development, with prices starting from $759,300 for a two-bed, two-bath apartment that spans 68 sqm.

Each apartment features a timeless design, with the interior curated in a joint venture by Carr Interior Design and Coco Republic. &nbsp;

The three-bed offerings are the only apartments to include a car space, which is quite a beneficial feature for an inner-city development, where parking can often be hard to find.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2929 project_image_fid=201019]

A range of luxury penthouse apartments are also on offer, with the three-bed floorplans covering an expansive 192 sqm for just over $3.6 million. These residents will also benefit from a 25-metre pool, a gym and associated spa deck, which is only accessible to premium apartment buyers that are situated from level 54 and up, with the exclusive Sky Club rounding out the luxe offerings.&nbsp;

A communal podium is located on level eight in Melbourne Square, expanding further on the curated amenity within the development. Spread across two floors of both towers, the area features a 50-metre pool, along with an expansive park, a gym, seating and lounge options, as well as several dining spaces.&nbsp;

Over 6000 sqm of public space has also been included across the ground floor, with a landscaped public park, along with a number of green spaces and walkways, in addition to a full-line double-storey Woolworths, and a plethora of eateries, retail and dining options, from espresso bars, to cafes and bottle shops.&nbsp;

Limited opportunities remain at Southbank's completed Melbourne Square apartment development

Set on an elegant tree-lined boulevard in Southbank’s Arts Precinct and surrounded by 3,745 sqm of lush green parkland, Melbourne Square is an award-winning inner-city address in an established and thriving precinct delivering resort-style amenities and elevated wellbeing.

Developer OSK Property has built a successful reputation in the suburb having recently completed the build of the first two towers at Melbourne Square, as well as a heap of community amenity including a two-level Woolworths and a 3,745 sqm park designed by Taylor Cullity Lethlean.

Now the group has launched the third tower in the precinct, BLVD at 19 Hoff Boulevard, which will deliver a much needed 619 new apartments to the chronically under supplied Melbourne apartment market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211863]

Renowned architecture firm Cox Architecture is behind the design of the sculptural tower, having created the first two glass-swatched towers in the precinct with prices ranging from $517,000 to $5.5 million.

The second stage is one of the first residential projects in Australia to be registered for WELL Certification, offering residents a healthy environment as well as future-proof living with smart technology and co-working spaces.&nbsp;

Asia Pacific International WELL Building Institute's Vice President, Jack Noonan said they know that buildings must respond better to create places that feel healthier, happier and deliver more sustainable outcomes.

“This is why BLVD is one of the first residential projects in Australia registered to pursue WELL Certification. OSK Property has applied this world-leading framework from the ground up with a holistic suite of integrated solutions, including optimised access to natural light, great thermal comfort and indoor air quality, through to social, fitness and mental wellbeing amenities. Together, they create an ecosystem to help you live well every day,” Noonan said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211865]

Local buyers, mainly from Southbank, Docklands and the CBD are tipped to engage the most with the new tower, with strong interest already generated from buyers who purchased in the previous stage.&nbsp;

Uninterrupted view lines across the Arts Precinct, Royal Botanic Gardens and Sidney Myer Music Bowl have underpinned a lot of the interest so far, as has the ability to buy into the already established Melbourne Square community, with a full-line Woolworths, childcare centre and 3,745 sqm of established gardens, cascading water and leafy grounds.&nbsp;

Cox Architecture Director Paul Curry says with the successful completion of Stage 1, Melbourne Square is the largest consolidated site in Southbank.

“Creating any lasting legacy is ambitious, but four years ago, a vision for Melbourne Square emerged to do just that," Curry says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=211867]

"A place enhanced by the cultural Arts Precinct and iconic city venues around it, and a place that enriches life for those within it, creating a true Melbourne community amidst thriving gardens, parks and genuine amenity.

"Now we present the next evolution, BLVD. The tallest building currently planned on site that extends the language of landscape and surrounding nature. With gently rounded corners and curved glazing, the tower rises to the sky with a softness in its architecture and elegance in design. Below it, the podium displays a fine degree of materiality and focus on articulation from the ground level."

A mix of one, two,three-bedroom and penthouse apartments are on offer at BLVD, with the interiors designed by Carr.

Prices start from $517k for a one-bedroom apartment and $714k for a two-bedroom apartment. The three-bedroom apartments are generous in size in comparison to other high-rise residential projects, spanning from 106 sqm to 177 sqm, with prices for those beginning at $1.146 million.&nbsp;

Construction of BLVD is set to commence in the first quarter of 2024, with completion slated for late 2026 / early 2027.
