Half of the apartment in the architecturally-striking block of 14 have already been snapped up.

Located just 150 metres from Brunswick Street, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/napier-235-235-napier-street-fitzroy-vic-3065">Napier 235</a> will bring a mix of two and three-bedroom residences to the tightly held inner-city neighbourhood, including a full-floor penthouse and one townhouse.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144904 project_image_fid=3217]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ewert-leaf">Ewert Leaf</a> with landscaping by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/florian-wild">Florian Wild</a>, Napier 235 presents a sculptural, low-rise form that aligns with Fitzroy’s heritage character while introducing contemporary detailing.&nbsp;

Residences are all north-facing and feature large private terraces, with living areas that connect to the outdoors via floor-to-ceiling sliding glass.

Inside, kitchens are anchored by 3.5-metre stone island benches and include walk-in pantries, Miele and Gaggenau appliances, and built-in bars with wine fridges in most apartments.&nbsp;

Napier 235 places residents within walking distance of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/fitzroy-vic-3065">Fitzroy</a>’s food and retail precincts, including Marion, Morning Market, and Bentwood Café. Fitzroy Gardens, Carlton Gardens, and tram connections to the CBD are also nearby. Despite its proximity to major amenity, the development sits within a quieter residential pocket.

A rare new development in Surry Hills is aiming to replace a cluster of underutilised commercial buildings with a contemporary eight mixed-use building just 300 metres from Central Station.&nbsp;

The $27.5 million project is being led by ISL Property Investments Management and will include 35 apartments, some earmarked for affordable housing, alongside street-level retail and basement parking.

The development spans multiple lots between <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/98-106-kippax-street-surry-hills-nsw-2010">Kippax, Sophia, and Waterloo Streets</a> and will involve substantial demolition of the existing structures on the 780 sqm site.

According to the Urban Design Report prepared by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/dko-architecture">DKO</a>, the design has been shaped to reflect the area’s gritty industrial past while contributing to its evolving identity as a high-density urban hub.

“The proposed development is designed to integrate sensitively and intelligently with its immediate surroundings and evolving urban context,” DKO stated. “It mediates between the existing built environment and the area’s future trajectory, ensuring a thoughtful transition”.

<img alt="First look: I.S.L. Property Investments plans eight-storey mixed-use apartments in Surry Hills" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="db880273-57af-4167-9601-f05fd7b39124" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Surry%20Hills%20isl.png?VersionId=f3Ix9jP4eJ44H69zUcgot_zxBr4rW6gJ" />

The project includes 35 one, two, three-bedroom apartments across the upper levels, with 15 per cent of the total floor area allocated to affordable housing.&nbsp;The dwelling mix is designed to cater to a range of household types, with layouts strategically oriented to maximise solar access and cross ventilation, DKO notes.

Architecturally, the building is anchored by a podium that reinforces the streetscape while referencing the area’s industrial brick fabric. Above this, a lighter tower form is chamfered to reduce visual bulk and improve solar access to the public domain.&nbsp;

“The tower mass is elevated above the podium, visibly distinct yet firmly anchored at the bookend corner of Kippax and Waterloo Streets,” DKO wrote.

The development is also aiming high on sustainability. Features include rooftop photovoltaics, water-efficient landscaping with local species, and a commitment to all-electric infrastructure.&nbsp;

The project is lodged under the Housing SEPP and seeks approval from the City of Sydney. There have been very few new apartment developments in Surry Hills in recent years. Some of the most notable has been redevelopments of former commercial buildings, as opposed to demolishing buildings.

That's the plan for national developer Time &amp; Place, which has recently submitted their State Significant Development Application for Marlborough House, the redevelopment of the original&nbsp;David Jones department store warehouse and factory building&nbsp;on Marlborough Street. The development will have around 150 warehouse-style apartments.

Award-winning Canberra developer Art Group is approaching the final stages of construction on its newest residential development, Calypso, located on the city-fringe boulevard of Northbourne Avenue in Dickson.

Now 90 per cent complete and tracking toward a 2025 move-in date, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/calypso-dickson-330-northbourne-avenue-dickson-act-2602">Calypso</a> will deliver 207 one-, two-, three-bedroom apartments designed for the owner-occupier.

The project has been described as a “vibrant oasis” within the growing Northbourne precinct, with design and amenity focused on enhancing both liveability and connectivity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134842 project_image_fid=1205]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/art-group">Art Group</a> has positioned Calypso to meet the growing preference for flexible, lifestyle-oriented urban living. All apartments feature floor-to-ceiling windows, generous internal layouts, and purpose-designed spaces such as study nooks or dedicated home offices in larger configurations.

One-bedroom layouts are designed with oversized bedrooms and dual-access bathrooms for added convenience, while two-bedroom apartments include additional study rooms and expansive kitchens.&nbsp;

The three-bedroom residences further elevate functionality with walk-in pantries, freestanding laundries, and panoramic mountain views from corner apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134842 project_image_fid=1203]

Beyond private residences, Calypso incorporates a range of shared amenities tailored to modern hybrid work and wellness lifestyles. These include dedicated coworking spaces, a gym with cardio and strength equipment, rooftop gardens, communal EV charging, and landscaped outdoor entertaining areas.

Technology integration is a key feature, with fibre-to-the-unit internet offering speeds up to 1,000 Mbps, instant-access Wi-Fi in shared zones, and an embedded network providing streamlined utilities.&nbsp;

The development also includes energy-efficient inclusions and central staircases designed to promote active living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134842 project_image_fid=912]

Situated on Northbourne Avenue, Calypso benefits from immediate access to light rail, placing residents within easy reach of the Canberra CBD.&nbsp;

The development is also walking distance to the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/dickson-act-2602">Dickson</a> retail precinct and close to several key education institutions, including the Australian National University, University of Canberra, and Dickson College, as well as&nbsp;North Ainslie Primary School, Lyneham High, and Blue Gum Early Learning Centre.

With demand for inner-north apartments continuing to outpace supply, Calypso’s nearing completion places it among a select few large-scale projects delivering new stock to the area within the next 12 months.

With an exclusive final developer release, and $0 stamp duty available in the ACT, there has never been a better time to look at this unique development.

Headland Parade is one of the most premium and tightly held streets in Barrack Point in the Shellharbour region south of Sydney.

Local developer&nbsp;Allowrie snapped up an opportunity to develop four custom-designed townhomes on the exclusive strip, which they recently completed the luxury homes to the design by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ingenuity-home-designs">Ingenuity Home Designs</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150639 project_image_fid=3556]

From the street, the development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/12-headland-parade-barrack-point-12-headland-parade-barrack-point-nsw-2528">12 Headland Parade</a>&nbsp;features gabled rooflines, muted coastal palette and landscaped frontages that reflect the enduring character of the area.

Inside, the attention to detail continues across open-plan layouts that flow into private alfresco spaces, with select residences enjoying their own inground concrete swimming pool.

The interiors are defined by their use of thoughtful materials and functional sophistication. 40mm 0% silica stone quartz benchtops, brushed brass tapware, and curved v-groove bathroom cabinetry are paired with Polytec kitchen joinery and Lappato-finished terrazzo tiles to create spaces that feel both premium and relaxed.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150639 project_image_fid=3550]

Comfort underfoot is achieved through hybrid European oak flooring and extra heavy-duty loop pile carpets in the bedrooms, while ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning ensures seasonal adaptability.

Each residence includes a garage with epoxy flake flooring, landscaped outdoor areas, and integrated energy-efficient inclusions like 5kW solar photovoltaic systems. These elements reinforce the project’s focus on longevity and liveability, making the homes equally suited to growing families and downsizers alike.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150639 project_image_fid=3558]

Located 160 metres from Little Lake and 400 metres from Warilla Beach, the address sits within walking distance of the Shellharbour Village café strip, Shellharbour North Beach, and the coastal cycleway.&nbsp;

The Shell Cove Marina precinct is a five-minute drive, and Stockland Shellharbour provides broader retail and medical services nearby. Recreational spaces include Dawes Park, Killalea State Park, and Bass Point.

The four townhomes are move-in ready, and start from $1.25 million.

12 Headland Parade delivers rare new-build coastal homes to Barrack Point

Sunset Boulevard was a small, relatively unknown riverfront street on the Nerang River in Surfers Paradise around 18 months ago. However, the street is now set to become a thriving residential hub after the Gold Coast City Council approved several new developments that are poised to transform the character of the area.

The latest development approval on the river is for a 29-level tower by the Sydney-based P&amp;N Sleiman Group. The development, at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/52-sunset-boulevard-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">52 Sunset Boulevard</a>, will be its first in the Gold Coast.

The developer, which only filed the plans in April, is approved for 62&nbsp;two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, as well as two double-level penthouses with their own&nbsp;private rooftop terraces and plunge pools.

Residents will also have access to communal amenity on level three, including a gym, lounge, barbecue facilities, and an infinity-edge pool.

<img alt="First look exclusive: P&amp;N Sleiman plots debut Gold Coast apartment project" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/52%20Sunset%20Boulevarde%20DA.png?VersionId=731rf3Vpi3nKCP69_eNV8kpn4GM0olqO" />

&nbsp;

Also now approved is YHY Group's tower which is crowned by what would be the largest penthouse ever produced on the Gold Coast.

YHY Group, also Sydney-based, is approved for a 33-level building with 74 apartments, across a triple site incorporating&nbsp;56, 58 and 60 Sunset Boulevard.&nbsp;The ninth level will feature a kids play area with an adjoining creche, a lap pool that runs along the edge of the building, a recovery space with a sauna and steam room, a yoga room, a gym, golf simulator, and a wellness spa with a treatment room and a massage room.

Above is another swimming pool, this one with&nbsp;an integrated pool bar and spa which has been oriented to offer gun-barrel views to the Surfers skyline. On the same level is a lounge, a bookable lounge with a kitchen, and a business centre.&nbsp;The ground level is set to feature&nbsp;a grand entry lobby, a cigar room, a cellar, library, study, bar and multiple entertaining areas.

The "Ultra Penthouse" is one of the largest ever pitched on the Gold Coast at 1,449 sqm of internal living space.

&nbsp;

There are five bedrooms spread across the five levels, as well as two staff quarters. The top level is dedicated just to a master suite, with a sauna, a gym, and a spa on the balcony. Including external space, the penthouse totals 2,239 sqm.

The first developer to identify Sunset Boulevard was Roy Skaf's Macquarie York. He has approval for a more boutique, 17-level tower on the river, facing Chevron Island's famous Home of The Arts (HOTA) building. There will be a mix of 43 two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments.

The resident amenity is located on level two and will feature a swimming pool, fire pit area, barbecue space, day beds, gym with a sauna and steam room, work from home space with desks and a boardroom.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-architecture" target="">Plus Architecture</a>, led locally by Danny Juric, says the project has been "meticulously designed to seamlessly blend with its urban and natural surroundings, achieving a harmonious balance between the human-scale streetscape, riverscape, and the emerging skyline."

Aurora On Depper, St Lucia: Construction Update

Ethereal Residences, located in the&nbsp;leafy riverside suburb Indooroopilly, is a brand-new addition to the Brisbane&#39;s&nbsp;affluent western suburbs.

The Swann Road development of just 46 apartments is aimed at the owner occupier, suiting the upsizer, downsizer, and even the first home buyer demographic.

Designed in collaboration between Rothelowman and Carr Design, Ethereal Residence&nbsp;is pitched as lofty and light, and is named ethereal after the way the project&nbsp;appears to float above the lush landscape below.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109830 project_image_fid=184166]

Urban has had a look at the project in finer detail and highlighted the key five drivers for buyers.

1. Thoughtful interiors

At Ethereal, Carr Design has created serene environments in the project&rsquo;s interior design, detail, scale and proportion.

&ldquo;The material palette that we&rsquo;ve chosen for Ethereal, relate to the colours and the palette that are drawn literally from nature&rdquo;, Carr&rsquo;s Chris McCue said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109830 project_image_fid=184948]

No matter which scheme residents choose, the tone and texture connect back to the Brisbane locale,

In the dark scheme, a rich materiality connects to the exterior fa&ccedil;ade and the urban streetscape, while the lighter scheme, through its sandy-coloured texture, alludes to the coastal energy of the Brisbane shoreline.

2. Elevated views

Residents of the Indooroopilly development enjoy elevated views thanks to the amazing opportunity that the topography presents.

All apartments offer expansive views across leafy, vegetated suburban contexts, with views to the north, east, south-east, and south.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109830 project_image_fid=184950]

Rothelowman architect Duncan Betts notes that residences have generous connections to the outdoors through expansive verandah space.

&ldquo;Most apartments have a 270-degree aspect from their living, dining [and] kitchen, which I think is a unique offering&rdquo;, he said.

3. Green neighbourhood 

&ldquo;When people arrive to Ethereal, they&rsquo;ll feel that it sits beautifully in the landscape; the greenness, the lushness, the established canopies,&rdquo; FORM&#39;s landscape designer Matt Franzmann said.

Ethereal&#39;s landscaping was designed to provide&nbsp;a dense, green neighbourhood feel, with a series of smaller courtyards at ground-level.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109830 project_image_fid=184165]

Other green areas include rooftop recreation areas, elevated vegetation and canopy tree-lined spaces.

&ldquo;We want people to be able to have different opportunities to socialise, whether they just want to go up with their [partner] and have a glass of wine, or meet up with a group of friends&rdquo;, Franzmann said.

4. Great location

Situated less than seven kilometres from the Brisbane CBD, Indooroopilly boasts absolute convenience while still preserving a nice, quiet suburban feel.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109830 project_image_fid=184164]

The dynamic landscape of Indooroopilly is one that is relaxed and comfortable, with the largest demographic recorded as independent youth.

Ethereal is in close proximity to both the University of Queensland and the Queensland University of Technology, as well as a selection of private and secondary schools.

5. Spacious floorplans

With all floorplans featuring at least two bathrooms, and some with an additional study, spacious layouts provide room for the whole family.

Expected to reach completion in late 2023, Ethereal creates meaningful experiences thanks to its bespoke and high-quality interiors and architecture.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109830 project_image_fid=184949]

&ldquo;People will appreciate the quality and the bespoke, customised approach through the balustrade details, the curvilinear &ndash; almost draped concrete, high-quality brick, interplayed with the nice accents of dark metal&rdquo;, said Betts.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s an aspirational piece.&rdquo;

Five reasons Ethereal Residences in Indooroopilly should be on a buyer's shortlist

The&nbsp;construction of&nbsp;Barber Property Group has finished construction of&nbsp;Vistas St Lucia, its newest apartment development in the leafy Brisbane suburb.

And the development of 32 apartments has been a hit with first home buyers so far, who have been taking advantage of Vistas one-bedroom apartments, the first one-bedroom apartments built in the suburb for five years.

The rest of the apartment sales so far has been to investors who are looking to leverage the prominent student rental market given Vistas proximity to the University of Queensland.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=25239 project_image_fid=97100]

Barber have a solid case study&nbsp;in&nbsp;the area, having completed Eton, a boutique development of just nine apartments, nearby. Investors are now seeing seven per cent rental yields.

&ldquo;The numbers stack up very well for investors looking to capitalise on St Lucia&rsquo;s unique market, as it&nbsp;benefits from&nbsp;a range of buyer types at different stages of their&nbsp;lives,&quot; Barber Property Group boss Paul Barber says.

&ldquo;Although the student market has sat dormant for the last 12-months, with the current roll out of the COVID-19 vaccine, interest is picking up,&nbsp;so&nbsp;we anticipate a rush of international students&nbsp;at the end of the year,&nbsp;ahead of&nbsp;the first&nbsp;semester&nbsp;in 2022.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=25239 project_image_fid=97110]

&ldquo;Still, with many international students out of the equation,&nbsp;demand in&nbsp;St Lucia&rsquo;s has remained&nbsp;high&nbsp;with recent occupancy rates as low as 1.7 per cent.&rdquo;&nbsp;

Raymond Barber Architects, in collaboration with CG Design Studio, designed the apartments with earthy colour palettes and natural timbers that integrate with the St Lucia aspect.

There are&nbsp;nine one-bedroom apartments, 14 two-bedroom apartments and nine three-bedroom apartments, as well as&nbsp;communal facilities including a large open-air terrace and BBQ area with city views.&nbsp;&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=25239 project_image_fid=97114]

Barber said the company anticipates strong demand for&nbsp;Vistas St Lucia, as the area&rsquo;s lifestyle factors&nbsp;play&nbsp;a big drawcard, with the proximity to the city and river, abundance of cafes and restaurants, and quintessential &lsquo;Queensland feel&rsquo; high on&nbsp;buyers&rsquo;&nbsp;wish lists.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&ldquo;Prior to completion, approx. 40&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;of the luxury apartments had sold, really reiterating the market&rsquo;s desire for new inner-city stock,&rdquo; Barber said.&nbsp;

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re noticing a resurgence in demand for one-bedroom apartments, with a mix of downsizers and young professionals wanting to get into the&nbsp;inner-city&nbsp;suburbs, as well as demand continuing for larger two and three-bedroom properties.&nbsp;

The development has been a hit with first home buyers so far, who have been taking advantage of the one-bedroom apartments

</div>

<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
Developer Barber Property Group's Managing Director Paul Barber said the company was anticipating strong demand from a wave of returning international students.
The 32-apartment complex includes nine one-bedroom apartments, fourteen two-bedroom apartments and nine three-bedroom apartments.
“We’re noticing a resurgence in demand for one-bedroom apartments, with a mix of downsizers and young professionals wanting to get into the blue-chip suburb, as well as demand continuing for larger two and three-bedroom properties,” Mr Barber said.
“Our recently completed projects in St Lucia have seen healthy results for investors, with 2019 project Eton Apartments being 100 per cent committed prior to completion, and now delivering a 7 per cent return.”

Mr Barber said Vistas St Lucia was the company’s fourth development in the suburb since 2014 – the inner-west being a recent focus for the long-standing developer.
Barber Property partnered with award-winning CG Design Studio and Raymond Barber Architects.
“The design also takes advantage of the site’s premium location, with sweeping city views, floor plans that prioritise light and air flow, and seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces,” he concluded.
The project is currently under construction and is due for completion in December 2020.

New apartment complex set to hit the St Lucia market

<html><body>
QM Properties are planning to build a 34-unit development on a riverfront St Lucia site.
The company purchased the 1,242 square metre site in St Lucia for $8.5 million.
QM Properties have amended the 160 Macquarie Street site  DA to provide a boutique luxury apartment project comprising 34 three bedroom apartments.
Brendan Hogan, the director of residential at Colliers International, handled the off-market expressions of interest campaign.
Glenn Rix, the development manager at QM Properties, said the north-facing riverfront project will be launched to the market in the second half of 2019.
QM Properties is a Brisbane based private development company with a history spanning over 40 years.
Their current portfolio includes residential, commercial, industrial and leisure developments, primarily within South East Queensland.
The site has passed hands several times, with Melbourne developer <a href="/news/melbourne-developer-kokoda-buys-st-lucia-brisbane-riverfront-site">Kokoda Property paying $9.5 million</a> for the site in 2017. 
Kokoda had planned a 15-storey, 60-unit development.
