Abadeen has released the whole-floor penthouse crowning its recently completed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/park-residences-cremorne-2-sutherland-street-cremorne-nsw-2090">Park Residences</a> development in Cremorne, bringing the near-300 sqm residence to market for the first time.

Occupying the entire top floor of the boutique Lower North Shore development, the penthouse includes 221 sqm of internal living and a 74 sqm wraparound terrace, with a prized north-facing aspect taking in views across Middle Harbour.

The residence has been completed and fully furnished following a collaboration between Abadeen Executive Chairman Justin Brown and internationally recognised interior designer Jack Freeman, Founder and Managing Director of FREEMAN &amp; CO.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a> and Freeman approached the penthouse as a finished home, sourcing furniture, artwork, lighting and objects from Australia and overseas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378718]

Pieces from Parisian design house Pierre Augustin Rose sit alongside contemporary artworks and bespoke lighting, with Freeman drawing on recent visits to PAD Paris and Salone del Mobile Milano for the final collection.

Brown said the aim was to create a penthouse that felt more like a large-scale private home than a traditional apartment.

"The experience begins the moment the lift doors open. You're welcomed into an elegant dining room before the home opens into an extraordinary living space framed by sun-drenched harbour views.

"Every time someone walks through the front door they pause. It's not just the view, it's the incredible sense of space, the warmth created by the northern sunlight that fills the interiors, and the way every room connects so effortlessly.

"It has all the proportions of a luxury home, while delivering the effortless lifestyle and personalised experience of living in a world-class six-star hotel, combined with the simplicity and convenience of apartment living."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378713]

A secure lift provides exclusive access to the penthouse level, opening to a dedicated arrival foyer and dining area before the residence expands into its main living and entertaining spaces.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing runs across the northern side of the home, connecting the interiors with the terrace and Middle Harbour outlook.

The penthouse also features a fireplace and substantial chef's kitchen, while the wraparound terrace has been designed to accommodate both everyday outdoor living and larger-scale entertaining.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378720]

Freeman said the interiors had been deliberately kept restrained to complement the scale, natural light and outlook already established by the architecture.

"The penthouse is a serene study in quiet luxury," Freeman said.

"The interior pairs soft, sculptural forms with warm timber, pale stone and a restrained neutral palette. Curated artwork and metallic accents add depth, while abundant natural light creates a calm, effortlessly refined atmosphere. In my world, less is always more."

Freeman said the approach was centred around collecting individual pieces rather than simply decorating the apartment.

"Every material, every object and every piece of furniture has been curated with intention. I am a true believer in collecting versus decorating.

"The architecture already provided extraordinary natural light, remarkable volume and an uninterrupted connection to Middle Harbour. Our role was to complement those qualities with unique one-of-a-kind pieces of fine art and collectible design sourced from recent travels around the world."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378694]

Among the collection are solid bronze sculptures by Lorenzo Quinn, alongside a curated crystalware collection and pieces sourced from international design fairs.

Park Residences sits opposite Cammeray Golf Club, Cammeray Croquet Club and Grand Slam Tennis Cammeray, around 300 metres from Neutral Bay Village and its established collection of restaurants, cafés and retail.

Brown said the combination of a whole-floor floorplan, northern aspect and proximity to Neutral Bay was becoming increasingly difficult to find on the Lower North Shore.

"Completed whole-floor penthouses with a sun-drenched north-facing aspect and sweeping Middle Harbour views are exceptionally rare," Brown said.

"Add a quiet position opposite golf, croquet and tennis facilities, a level walk to Neutral Bay Village and only minutes to the CBD, and you have a lifestyle that's incredibly difficult to replicate.

"This is a home that offers the privacy and generosity of a luxury residence together with the convenience of one of Sydney's best-connected harbourside locations."

The penthouse will be exclusively marketed by SRM Residential.

Abadeen unveils penthouse at Park Residences in Cremorne

New Brisbane developer Dalcott has unveiled Marrone, the first of three residential projects it is planning in and around Browning Street in South Brisbane.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marrone-south-brisbane-39-browning-street-south-brisbane-qld-4101">Marrone</a> will comprise 97 predominantly two- and three-bedroom apartments, with larger residences aimed squarely at the owner-occupier market.

The project will sit in a quiet pocket of South Brisbane between South Bank and West End, close to the restaurants, cultural attractions and riverfront amenity that have driven the suburb's continued transformation.

Dalcott is targeting buyers looking for more space and amenity than has traditionally been offered in the inner-city apartment market, particularly downsizers and professionals wanting to remain close to the city.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149951 project_image_fid=377072]

Resident facilities will be concentrated around an extensive rooftop amenity offering, including a swimming pool, spa, infrared sauna, warm and cold magnesium plunge pools, private lounge, dining room and outdoor entertaining areas.

Dalcott Managing Director Lachlan Cottee said South Brisbane's combination of lifestyle, connectivity and established character had been central to the approach to Marrone.

“South Brisbane offers a combination of lifestyle, connectivity and character that’s difficult to replicate elsewhere in Brisbane,” Cottee said.

“Our focus has been on creating homes that feel connected to that environment while providing the level of design, functionality and quality that today's owner-occupiers expect.”

The residences will feature an expressive material palette. Italian Calacatta Viola marble, known for its deep burgundy veining, will be paired with aged brass tapware, Chestnut engineered timber flooring and Tuscan Oak joinery.

<img alt="Marrone" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b8d833da-3b30-496a-ae30-07bdff371b50" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%2010.52.35%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=P6DAgOfaQzIXljKKK5j3e5NhWtrHIu9G" />

Bathrooms will feature Nara Japanese ceramics and glass bricks, while clay, walnut and brass lighting will be used throughout the apartments.

Dalcott has appointed Realm Projects, led by Managing Director Shane Foley, to handle sales and marketing following previous sold-out collaborations between the groups.

Foley said the Brisbane apartment buyer had become increasingly focused on the quality of the home itself rather than simply securing an inner-city address.

“We expect to see strong demand from buyers who still want all the advantages of inner-city living but aren’t prepared to compromise on the quality of their home,” Foley said.

“Many will be downsizers looking to leave behind the maintenance of a traditional family home without giving up the space they enjoy, while others are likely to be professionals wanting a residence that reflects the way they live today.”

“Marrone responds directly to that demand, with generous floorplans, exceptional resident amenity and a location that places some of Brisbane’s best dining, entertainment and cultural attractions within walking distance.”

<img alt="Marrone" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="61f7b22f-899e-4c0f-940a-7d3ab1bfb93a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%2010.52.44%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=PvN1JYxBgUpyCB7efKo52WGdSDs9nmim" />

Marrone will be the first project delivered as part of Dalcott's broader investment in the precinct.

It will be followed by La Terra, a boutique project comprising penthouse-style, single-level apartments on a northeast corner site with extensive resident amenity and city views.

Cottee said Marrone represented the first stage of the group's longer-term plans for the area.

Dalcott was established in 2025 by Lachlan Cottee and Ben Dalgliesh, combining development and construction capability under an integrated model and focusing on architecturally considered residential projects.

Marrone will initially be offered through a pre-release registration campaign ahead of its broader public launch.

Dalcott targets owner-occupiers with South Brisbane debut Marrone

Parnell Developments is the latest to seek significant uplift through the NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority on a Strathfield site previously approved for a much smaller apartment development.

Parnell has sought approval for a 32-storey mixed use tower across&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/7-lyons-street-strathfield-nsw-2135">3-7 Lyons Street and 18 Parnell Street</a>, a&nbsp;1,857 sqm site around 400 metres from Strathfield Station. The building would yield 160 apartments, 15 per cent of which will be dedicated affordable as per the government mandate for buildings seeking additional uplift.

Approved previously was a nine-storey building back in 2022 with just over 30 apartments. That approval came prior to the project being&nbsp;progressively reconsidered as planning policy shifted toward greater density around transport hubs.

<img alt="Strathfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c5af5281-a643-4eb2-b8c4-0081b59c04c7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.16.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=37bd3mI7rHNpThOV_75VO8xsGFwWOi1u" />

Turner has designed the latest building that would replace&nbsp;existing detached homes across the four lots.

The apartment mix comprises 22 one-bedroom apartments, 107 two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus configurations, and 31 apartments with three or more bedrooms. The scheme also includes 203 car spaces across six basement levels and 58 bicycle spaces.

The proposal has been designed around a three-storey podium addressing Lyons Street, with the tower rising above and stepping toward its upper levels.

Turner said the podium was deliberately scaled to respond to the existing street, while the taller element has been designed as part of the emerging skyline anticipated around Strathfield Town Centre and the wider Homebush transport-oriented development precinct.

The Lyons Street frontage would have a more active, pedestrian-focused character, incorporating the commercial tenancy, landscaping and a brick-framed podium with an awning.

<img alt="Strathfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="14b20874-b8c3-4ac7-bc03-92be9a69fb78" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.17.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=av.9TxtqIRTC6v3PkSuu1rL9rreWoe2h" />

Parnell Street, which faces the railway corridor, has been given a different architectural treatment, with double-height breeze blocks, landscaping and communal areas used to soften the interface with the rail infrastructure.

The tower itself uses curved and recessed facade elements, with wave-like indentations across the northern elevation breaking the building into three vertical forms.

A palette of grey concrete, brick and breeze blocks is complemented by clay and terracotta accents, while the upper tower adopts a lighter expression through articulated slab edges, vertical fins and recessed glazing.

Residents would have access to 467 sqm of communal open space spread across three levels. The ground floor would accommodate the more active resident areas, including barbecue and group gathering spaces and an internal communal room capable of being used for working from home.

A more passive viewing deck is proposed at level three, overlooking the ground-level landscaping and neighbouring tennis courts, while a rooftop "sunset deck" at level 30 would provide another social and relaxation space.

<img alt="Parnell" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c3dce401-a80f-4682-8471-4caa01180880" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.17.34%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Xyo8JVqbOhSJXNy6Ih.1cHL.O6i0bGR." />

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Strathfield has been earmarked for substantial change through the Strathfield Town Centre planning work and the nearby Homebush TOD precinct.

Turner's report says the project has been designed to act as a transition between the existing low and mid-rise development surrounding the site and the taller built form expected to emerge across the town centre.

The proposal is being assessed as State Significant Development under the HDA pathway, alongside the concurrent request to amend the Burwood Local Environmental Plan.

First look: New apartment tower pitched for Strathfield Town Centre precinct

An $18 million penthouse has hit the market in Main Beach as construction tops out on La Mer, the $155 million apartment development rising just metres from the beach.

Spanning around 600 sqm across the top two levels of the 29-storey tower on Main Beach Parade, the four-bedroom penthouse is one of the latest eight-figure residences to test the upper end of the Gold Coast apartment market.

Its launch comes amid continued activity at the very top of the market, following the $30 million off-the-plan sale of a Burleigh Heads penthouse earlier this year, which surpassed the Gold Coast's previous $24 million apartment record set in 2023.

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/la-mer-main-beach-3580-main-beach-parade-main-beach-qld-4217">La Mer penthouse</a> has been designed as a private residence in the sky, with 360-degree views spanning the ocean, Broadwater, hinterland and Gold Coast skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378731]

All four bedrooms have ensuites, while the ocean-facing master retreat occupies around half of the upper level and includes its own lounge, private balcony, two walk-in wardrobes and an oversized ensuite with a freestanding stone bath positioned to take in the views.

The residence also features a kitchen designed to accommodate a private chef, a 3.6-metre island bench, expansive butler's pantry, wine cellar and integrated bar.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378732]

A rooftop pool and substantial outdoor entertaining area with its own kitchen sit above the residence, while a grand staircase connects the two internal levels. The penthouse also has its own express lift.

OTP Group Director James Elliott, who is marketing La Mer, said the penthouse was expected to appeal to high-net-worth buyers seeking either a permanent Main Beach residence or Gold Coast holiday home.

“The La Mer penthouse represents exceptional value, considering its quality design, size, privacy and location, not to mention the 360-degree views capturing the beach and Gold Coast Broadwater,” Elliott said.

“We’re anticipating interest from high-net-worth individuals and couples seeking a residence or holiday home in the sought-after village enclave of Main Beach, taking advantage of the unprecedented growth underway in the area and neighbouring The Spit.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378736]

La Mer is being developed by developer-builder ODUS and Nazero, in partnership with funder Metrics Credit Partners.

ODUS Director Byron Sakha said topping out the tower had provided the opportunity to release the project's most significant residence.

“We’ve worked with internationally-recognised studio Sici Design on the penthouse interiors, with a focus on ensuring it isn’t luxury for luxury’s sake. Every element has been thoughtfully designed to enhance quality of life for those who call it home,” Sakha said.

“The views are the hero of virtually every space, but we’ve given equal attention to the fittings and finishes, so every detail exudes elegance and refinement.”

Sici Design Founder and Director Maria Papadopoulos said the extensive views became an integral part of the interior design rather than simply something the residence was designed around.

“The views weren't something we designed around, they became part of the design itself, with the true luxury of La Mer in its feeling of peace, calm and wellbeing,” Papadopoulos said.

“Luxury isn't defined by how something looks, but how it makes you feel, and we believe a luxurious home should be beautiful to live in, not stressful to maintain.”

The interiors combine Austral Dream Dolomite natural stone and travertine with timber flooring and a restrained coastal palette.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378734]

Designed by Plus Studio, La Mer is one of the more boutique additions to the rapidly changing Main Beach apartment market.

The tower comprises just 24 full-floor, three-bedroom plus multipurpose room apartments below the two-level penthouse, giving the project a considerably lower density than many of the larger towers being developed across the Gold Coast.

Residents will have access to a pool and spa, gym, sauna, barbecue facilities, private sun lounges, yoga lawn and outdoor beach shower.

The penthouse has been released as part of the final collection of residences at La Mer, with remaining apartments priced from $4.3 million.

Construction is expected to complete later this year, with a fully furnished display apartment now open on level four.

ODUS releases $18 million penthouse crowning La Mer Main Beach

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/far-east-consortium">Far East Consortium</a> is preparing to commence construction on <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/640-bourke-street-melbourne-640-bourke-street-melbourne-vic-3000">640 Bourke Street</a> this October, marking the next milestone for the Melbourne CBD development and its higher-end Eliza Collection.

Spanning levels 44 to 68 of the 68-storey <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>-designed tower, the Eliza Collection has been conceived as a lower-density offering within the broader development, with only five apartments on each floor, dedicated lift access and a collection of resident spaces reserved exclusively for Eliza Collection residents.

The Eliza Collection forms part of Far East Consortium's broader move toward larger-format residences at 640 Bourke Street, where the number of apartments was reduced from earlier plans as apartment sizes increased.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365685]

"What it's meant for 640 Bourke is we've actually reduced the number of apartments. We've increased the overall size of the apartments. We don't have any studios in here, and what that does for a project is it elevates it," Far East Consortium Director of Sales and Marketing Lauren Sheldon said.

Rothelowman Associate Jun Chang said the design process provided an opportunity to create more generous floorplans.

"We were given the opportunity to be more generous. The apartments became bigger and squarer than any other apartments which had been designed in the CBD before that."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=368869]

That thinking carries through to the Eliza Collection, where the residences have been designed around the space and functionality associated with a larger home, but positioned high above the centre of Melbourne.

Kitchens are equipped with Gaggenau appliances, a butler's pantry, temperature-controlled wine cabinet and sculptural pendant lighting, while engineered timber flooring, stone and porcelain finishes and custom cabinetry feature throughout the broader interiors.

Privacy and security are another point of distinction. Eliza Collection residents have dedicated lift access, while 640 Bourke Street will provide concierge services and secure resident parking. Short-stay accommodation, including Airbnb, will not be permitted within the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365689]

Eliza Collection residents will also have exclusive access to selected amenity spaces across levels one and three of the restored Eliza Tinsley building. These include the Salon with grand piano, an art therapy room, private dining rooms and treatment rooms.

They sit within more than 3,000 sqm of amenity planned across 640 Bourke Street, alongside facilities including a pool, gym, whisky lounge and further social and wellness spaces.

The Eliza Tinsley building itself is central to the wider project's identity. Rather than treating the existing Eliza Tinsley façade as a separate element, Rothelowman used it as a starting point for the architecture of the new tower, with the historic building to accommodate the project's gallery and lobby.

"It's a significant asset and wants to be celebrated and experienced by all residents every single time they go in and out of the building," Rothelowman Principal Stuart Marsland said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=368872]

The tower will rise behind the retained heritage building at 640 Bourke Street, placing residents within walking distance of Southern Cross Station, Flagstaff Gardens, Queen Victoria Market and the Docklands waterfront.

With construction scheduled to begin in October, Far East Consortium has established an onsite display gallery at 640 Bourke Street, including fully built apartments that allow the project's layouts, materials and finishes to be inspected at full scale.

A fully built Eliza Collection apartment is also available to view at the display suite by appointment ahead of the planned October construction commencement.

Eligible purchasers who buy before construction commences can secure the full available off-the-plan stamp duty savings, subject to eligibility and applicable conditions.

Far East Consortium brings Eliza Collection to 640 Bourke Street ahead of October construction start

Spotswood

The dream team of CHT Architects, Sora Interior Architecture and Design, and Tract Landscape Architects have combined with construction heavyweights Hamilton Marino to deliver the first stage in Blue Earth Group’s community, Spotswood Yards.&nbsp;

CHT has a long history collaborating with Blue Earth, spanning over 10 years across 22 projects, with the group boasting a long line of luxury apartment developments in their time.&nbsp;

Based in Melbourne, with projects both local and interstate, the group’s work consists of high-quality, distinctive buildings and spaces that respond to the aspirations of modern Australia, with the added experience of Sora Interiors only bolstering the development.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198408]

143 residences will be delivered across the first stage in Porter, with the functional interiors kept deliberately neutral and timeless, with considered detail across three collections, the Premier Collection, the Penthouse Collection and the Townhouse Collection.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Porter project, set on Birmingham Street, uses only carefully selected, timeless materials of brickwork, concrete, steel and glass. Designed to contribute to the existing neighbourhood, Porter combines compositions of form and material to present a timeless facade, softened by the townhouse courtyard landscaping.

With floorplans designed for comfort and functionality, Porter’s generous open plan spaces benefit from premium materials and a natural ambiance that champion sophistication and style.

The Townhouse Collection incorporates a range of two-level residences which benefit from private street entrances.&nbsp;

With impressive floor plans designed for comfort and functionality, the open-plan interiors include premium materials and a natural ambiance that champion sophistication and style.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198411]

Directly integrated with the Birmingham Street neighbourhood, the Porter Townhouses feature sun drenched landscaped courtyards creating a sense of the traditional home.&nbsp;

One-bedroom is featured across the ground floor in each of the townhouses, with an additional bedroom and a flexi-room on the first floor, providing buyers with the option of transforming the space into a home office, kid's zone or second living area instead.

Inside the Townhouse Collection at Spotswood Yards

Spotswood is a thriving suburb with an old soul.&nbsp;

With an industrial and manufacturing history inspiring the innovative and creative suburb into what it is today, the area has carried its rich history of making things through to its cultural and community identity today.

Rapidly gentrifying, Spotswood has a genuine sense of community and togetherness.&nbsp;

Located only seven-kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD, Spotswood is home to a number of notable Melbourne attractions, including Scienceworks, Melbourne Planetarium, an array of bustling cafes and restaurants along with the more recent addition of Grazeland.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198408]

<h2>History at the heart&nbsp;</h2>

Spotswood Yards was originally the Victorian Railway Workshops complex including the former Ways and Works Workshop. A railway line connecting Melbourne with Williamstown opened in 1859, passing through the area that became Spotswood.

By the 1920’s, Spotswood was home to a number of national manufacturing businesses, signalling one of the inner-west’s most significant land transformation opportunity - a blank canvas of 50,000 sqm of absolute, prime, never-to-be-repeated land.&nbsp;

As a major employer over many years, Spotswood Yards still holds a strong community connection.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198414]

<h2>A new beginning&nbsp;</h2>

Set on the enviable Birmingham Street, the family-owned Blue Earth Group are making waves with their latest residential development.&nbsp;

Bringing with it the character and past of Spotswood, Porter has been designed to contribute to the existing neighbourhood.

Through a careful curation of materials and finishes which reflect the suburb’s past, such as brickwork, concrete, steel and glass.&nbsp;

The first stage of the development will deliver a collection of both apartments and townhouses, with the residences split across three releases; the Premier Collection, the Penthouse Collection and the Townhouse Collection.&nbsp;

From its prime site just a stone's throw from Spotswood Oval, 143 residences will be built across the two buildings, Porter and Flagman, with CHT Architects and Sora Interiors handling the designs.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198401]

Residents will be a five minute walk from Grazeland, while Spotswood station is only seven minutes by foot.&nbsp;

By car, residents will have quick and convenient access to the wider Melbourne area, with the CBD just over 10 minutes away, along with the neighbouring and bustling Docklands.&nbsp;

Footscray University and Hospital are also nearby, with both under a 10 minutes drive from Porter.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=112971]

The first stage of the development will deliver a collection of both apartments and townhouses, with the residences split across three releases; the Premier Collection, the Penthouse Collection and the Townhouse Collection. 

From the former Victorian Railway Workshops to a new masterplanned community: How Blue Earth Group is transforming Spotswood Yards

Established in 1975, construction company, Hamilton Marino has had years to master their craft.

Positioning themselves as one of Australia’s leading builders, the group have been behind some of the country’s leading and most impressive residential builds, including the $40 million Marriot Courtyard, 4248 Claremont, and both the River One and River Front buildings.&nbsp;

Further earmarking themselves as a leader in the industry, Hamilton Marino also found themselves picking up a number of projects throughout the construction sector collapse, which saw a number of builders and construction groups fall short during the worker shortage and material-cost hike.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198399]

The latest in Hamilton Marino’s pipeline will see the group work with Blue Earth on their multi-residential project, Porter, bringing to life a collection of residences on the site of the former Victorian Railway Workshops complex.

The Hamilton built-building will&nbsp;offer both apartments and townhouses from its prime Birmingham Street location, a stones throw from Spotswood Oval, as part of the wider masterplanned precinct, which will feature extensive amenity for all its residents.&nbsp;

Porter adds to a long list of projects Hamilton and Blue Earth have collaborated together on, with the duo combining for a whopping 35 projects previously.

Hamilton has even constructed the display suite for the Porter residences, so buyers can get a true sense and feel of the homes and know exactly the level of quality that the apartment will offer when completed.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198407]

Blue Earth have relied on long-time collaborators for the architecture and interiors of the project as well, calling on&nbsp;<a href="/architects/cht-architects" target="_blank">CHT Architects</a>&nbsp;and Sora Interior Architecture and Design, who have worked on 22 of&nbsp;<a href="/developers/blue-earth-group" target="_blank">Blue Earth</a>'s previous&nbsp;developments.

Staged at the first building in the project, Porter will be accompanied by a second building in the future, to be known as Flagman, with 143 apartments penned for the site.

Delivered across three collections, buyers will have a choice between the Premier Collection, Penthouse Collection, and the Townhouse Collection, each offering a differing layout and lifestyle option, appealing to a wide range of discerning buyers.

Much like&nbsp;<a aria-label="Blue Earth - opens in new tab" data-uw-rm-brl="false" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" href="/developers/blue-earth-group" target="_blank" uw-rm-external-link-id="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/blue-earth-group$blueearth">Blue Earth</a>'s previous projects, there's extensive amenity, including a cinema, games room, central garden, co-working space and private offices, and even a dedicated dog wash.

Both buildings will feature a central garden, click and collect services, bike storage and lobby and concierge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198403]

Residents will also have access to a mobile phone app. The&nbsp;all-in-one Porter App, supported by the in-house concierge, will allow&nbsp;residents to book a range of services and facilities throughout the development.

Access to apartments is granted via the app, through keyless entry, as is the ability to grant remote access to visitors and trades.

The smart apartment app will also allow residents to control blinds, lights, heating and cooling, both from home or remotely.

The emerging Spotswood Yards precinct was originally the Victorian Railway Workshops complex including the former Ways &amp; Works Workshop.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198412]

As a major employer over many years, Spotswood Yards still holds a strong community connection and sets to provide an additional vibrant layer to the Spotswood area.

One of the many bookable spaces within Porter are the co-working spaces, designed to provide all the benefits of a city office, with the need to commute.&nbsp;

With working from home more common than ever, the fully-equipped spaces include individual offices, meeting rooms and communal spaces, creating the magic pairing of work/life balance with work/home separation.

How the Porter App will make life more convenient for buyers at Blue Earth's Spotswood Yards

The family-owned Melbourne developer, Blue Earth Group, who consistently deliver amenity-rich projects across Melbourne, are back with their latest development, Porter, in the inner-western suburb of&nbsp;Spotswood.

Porter, which will&nbsp;&nbsp;offer both apartments and townhouses from its prime Birmingham Street location, a stones throw from Spotswood Oval, will be part of a wider masterplanned precinct, which will feature extensive amenity for residents.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198399]

Blue Earth are again working with the reputable builder Hamilton Marino, who they even get to build their display suites so buyers know exactly the level of quality that the apartment will offer when completed.

They&#39;ve also again called on CHT Architects and Sora Interior Architecture and Design, who have worked on 22 of Blue Earth&#39;s previous&nbsp;developments. Hamilton Marino have constructed 35 of Blue Earth developments.

There will be 143 apartments&nbsp;across the two buildings&nbsp;dubbed Porter and Flagman, delivered across three collections; Premier Collection, Penthouse Collection, and the Townhouse Collection.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198403]

The Premier Collection will offer a mix of one and two-bedroom apartments while the Penthouse Collection will home a suite of three-bedroom apartments.

The Townhouse Collection delivers&nbsp;two-level residences with private street-entrances, designed for the family owner-occupier, with a flexi room included in the home.

Much like Blue Earth&#39;s previous projects, there&#39;s extensive amenity, including a cinema, games room, central garden, co-working space and private offices, and even a dedicated dog wash.

Both buildings will feature a central garden, click and collect services, bike storage and lobby and concierge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198401]

Residents will also have access to a mobile phone app. The&nbsp;all-in-one Porter App, supported by the in-house concierge, will allow&nbsp;residents to book a range of services and facilities throughout the development.

Access to apartments is granted via the app, through keyless entry, as is the ability to grant remote access to visitors and trades.

The smart apartment app will also allow residents to control blinds, lights, heating and cooling, both from home or remotely.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112971 project_image_fid=198411]

Construction has kicked off on the development with Blue Earth expecting construction to be completed by late 2023.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Blue Earth launch Porter apartments and townhouses in Spotswood

<html><body>
A $100 million plus medium density apartment development has been announced for a 44,000 sqm site in Melbourne's Spotswood.
The site, part of the former Don and Gilbertsons land, is bounded by West Gate Freeway, New Street, and Kyle and Blackshaws roads.
Greg Jensz, industrial director, Savills said smaller, popular pockets like Spotswood have been a key target for developers looking to capitalise on the gentrification process.
"Any opportunities within 10k of the CBD are going to be looked at seriously by developers and especially those that can offer scale," he said.
 "The redevelopment of Precinct 15, which this property forms part of, offers one of the most significant urban renewal opportunities in Melbourne given its size.
"The adoption of Amendment C88, lodged with Hobsons Bay Council, to rezone Precinct 15 from its current industrial zones to residential, paved the way for a proposed 3000 dwellings and a 5500 square metre Neighborhood Activity Centre, associated open space areas and a community facility."
