The first partnership between national developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/fortis">Fortis</a> and Adelaide-based developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/otello">Otello</a> has made a strong start, with the pair securing $21 million in unconditional sales at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/one-four-four-hutt-adelaide-144-hutt-street-adelaide-sa-5000">One Four Four Hutt</a>&nbsp;on the edge of the Adelaide CBD.

Over a third of apartments have been snapped up in the boutique 44-apartment project on the corner of Hutt Stret and Wakefield Road. Local downsizers and owner-occupiers wanting to remain in Adelaide's tightly-held southeast quarter have been the most prominent purchasers.

The DKO-designed, mixed-use development is one of the few new apartment projects in the precinct, an area where new housing supply has remained limited despite continued demand from buyers wanting to stay close to the CBD, Victoria Park and Adelaide's established east-end amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151233 project_image_fid=375378]

Fortis Head of Development SA Arthur Dendrinos said the early sales reflected both the strength of the local owner-occupier market and confidence in the Hutt Street location.

"The level of early commitment reflects the confidence local buyers have in the Hutt Street precinct," Dendrinos said.

"Many purchasers are long-term east-end residents who love the area and want to stay connected to the neighbourhood. They recognise the value of a well-designed, well-located development.

"Our partnership with Otello has been central to this success, and the number of unconditional sales at this stage only strengthens our confidence in the South Australian market."

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151233 project_image_fid=375379]

Otello Director Daniel Harris said the sales result also highlighted the lack of new apartment opportunities within the Hutt Street precinct.

"One Four Four Hutt has clearly resonated with buyers, with strong early sales reflecting both the appeal of the Hutt Street corridor and the lifestyle on offer," Harris said.

"The activated ground-floor retail has also been a key drawcard, with purchasers responding to the vision of a more vibrant and connected streetscape, not just the residences themselves."

One Four Four Hutt will deliver 44 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, alongside a collection of penthouses, above a ground-floor retail offering designed to further activate the Hutt Street precinct.

Construction is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of this year, with completion anticipated in 2028.

Fortis makes Adelaide debut with Otello as One Four Four Hutt records strong early sales

For all its prestige, Roseville hasn't seen many new apartment developments that genuinely cater to the suburb's owner-occupier market.

Most new projects on Sydney's North Shore have focused on increasing supply, but Aqualand Prestige's <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/boronia-by-aqualand-roseville-2-4-larkin-street-roseville-nsw-2069">Boronia</a> is taking a different approach.

The 111-apartment project on Larkin Street has been designed around a buyer who already knows the area, whether they're downsizing from a nearby family home, upgrading from an older apartment, or moving into the suburb to be closer to schools and transport.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152095 project_image_fid=372391]

Boronia is the first project from Aqualand Prestige, the boutique residential division of Aqualand, the developer behind projects including AURA in North Sydney and Blue at Lavender Bay. The project is being delivered in partnership with Phoenix Property Investors.

Rather than trying to maximise density, the focus has been on creating apartments that feel much closer to a house. There's a strong weighting towards larger three-bedroom residences, alongside a limited collection of four-bedroom duplex-style sky homes, a product that's rarely delivered in apartment projects on the Upper North Shore.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152095 project_image_fid=373694]

Architecture firm Woods Bagot has designed the building to sit within Roseville's established tree canopy rather than dominate it. The building steps down the site with deep balconies, generous setbacks and a material palette of masonry and natural stone that reflects the suburb's established character.

"The forms float among the canopies along the Larkin Street ridge to maximise the outlook across the green sea of the treetops," Woods Bagot Principal Jason Fraser said.

"The architecture is deliberately simple and understated, so that the detail, the craftsmanship and, above all, the landscape can be the hero."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152095 project_image_fid=373685]

The same approach continues inside.

Interiors by COX take inspiration from the surrounding bushland of Lane Cove National Park, using natural stone, timber and handcrafted finishes throughout the residences. Kitchens feature Gaggenau and Bosch appliances, while the penthouse collection includes upgraded stone finishes and bespoke detailing.

"We wanted the homes to feel like an urban retreat, where the boundary between inside and out simply dissolves," COX Director Brooke Lloyd said.

Landscape architecture by Ground iNK extends that connection outdoors, with mature tree planting, deep soil landscaping and retained established street trees helping the development blend into one of Sydney's leafiest suburbs.

Residents will also have access to landscaped communal gardens, a wellness centre and outdoor spaces designed more as an extension of their own homes than traditional apartment amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152095 project_image_fid=373687]

The location is another reason Aqualand Prestige believes Boronia will resonate with buyers.

Roseville Station is around a five-minute walk away, placing Chatswood just one stop down the line, while the Sydney CBD remains within easy commuting distance. The suburb also sits within the NSW Government's Transport Oriented Development precinct, where planning changes are encouraging more housing around existing rail infrastructure.

Despite those planning reforms, opportunities to secure a new apartment in Roseville remain relatively limited, particularly developments aimed at owner-occupiers rather than investors.

Aqualand Prestige Executive Director Wayne Xiong said Boronia was designed for buyers intending to stay for the long term.

"These are homes built for decades of living rather than for the moment," Xiong said.

"Whether buyers are downsizing, raising a family or simply seeking more space, they're choosing the scale and craftsmanship of a fine house in a suburb they love, with the ease and connectivity modern life calls for."

Boronia's two-bedroom apartments are priced from $1.79 million, three-bedrooms from $2.49 million, penthouses from $2.85 million, and four-bedroom duplex-style Sky Homes from $4.5 million.

Aqualand Prestige launches Boronia to undersupplied Roseville apartment market

For most new apartment buildings, the Owners Corporation starts life with little more than a bank account and the first quarterly strata levies.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/9-gay-street-castle-hill-9-gay-street-castle-hill-nsw-2154">9 Gay Street</a> in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/castle-hill-nsw-2154">Castle Hill</a>, it starts with around $7 million in reserve.

It's an unusual legacy of what was once one of Sydney's highest-profile apartment remediation projects. When the development, originally known as Skyview and built by disgraced developer Top Place, came under scrutiny by then NSW Building Commissioner David Chandler, an $11 million remediation bond was negotiated to ensure any building defects could be fully rectified.

The building underwent an 18-month remediation program, during which around $4 million of that bond was spent bringing the building up to the standard it should have been in from the outset.

After extensive inspections, all active rectification orders have been lifted. What's more, around $7.2 million remains secured for the Owners Corporation for the next 15 years.

In a twist few would have predicted, what began as a significant concern for purchasers has left the building with something almost unheard of in the apartment market: a multi-million-dollar financial reserve from day one.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=147685 project_image_fid=359136]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/equitifund-group">Equitifund</a> Executive Chairman Greg Huxley said the structure offers buyers a level of certainty that is difficult to replicate.

"The $11 million bond established for the Skyview Castle Hill development represents exceptional value, providing genuine financial security for purchasers," Huxley said.

"Unlike a standard insurance policy, this bond consists of real funds held in trust for the Owners Corporation, offering a tangible layer of protection and added peace of mind."

The apartments themselves have been designed with a focus on practical, contemporary living. Interiors feature Smeg appliances, stone benchtops, tiled living areas, carpeted bedrooms, 2.7-metre ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and ducted heating and cooling throughout.

Residents also have access to a range of shared amenities, including two rooftop barbecue areas, a swimming pool, children's playgrounds, secure building access, storage cages, and visitor parking.

The location continues to be one of the project's strongest drawcards. Castle Hill Metro Station sits virtually on the doorstep, providing direct connections across Sydney's expanding Metro network, while Castle Towers offers extensive retail, dining, entertainment, and service amenities within walking distance.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=147685 project_image_fid=359127]

The building, now named after its location at 9 Gay Street, comprises a diverse mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments starting from just under $600,000.

Equitifund National Sales Director Ben Hamblett said demand in the Hills District continues to be driven by buyers seeking convenience and connectivity.

"Interest from both owner-occupiers and investors in Castle Hill remains exceptionally strong, with buyers consistently prioritising developments in close proximity to the Metro station and Castle Towers Shopping Centre," Hamblett said.

"There is a clear trend in the market, with purchasers seeking convenient access to transport and lifestyle amenities that support a seamless, low-maintenance way of living."

On top of the long-term protection afforded by the remaining $7.2 million bond, Equitifund is offering a limited-time stamp duty rebate on selected apartments.

Eligible purchasers can also secure finance options, including a 3.99 per cent two-year variable rate, loan-to-value ratios of up to 90 per cent, and interest-only lending options through EquitiCredit.

Why this Castle Hill apartment building starts with a $7 million advantage

For much of the past few years, conversations about Australia's property market have centred on the rapid growth seen in Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Perth. <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/melbourne-vic-3004">Melbourne</a> has followed a different trajectory.

That relative underperformance is now encouraging some buyers to reassess the city, particularly those willing to look beyond short-term market movements and focus on quality property in established locations, along with the long-term growth prospects of a city expected to overtake Sydney as Australia’s most populous.

John Bekiaris, Research &amp; Market Insights at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/equitifund-group">Projects by Equitifund</a>, said Melbourne's current position is attracting increasingly sophisticated purchasers.

"Melbourne continues to present one of Australia's strongest long-term investment stories," Bekiaris says.

"While other capital cities have experienced stronger recent growth, that relative underperformance is exactly what's attracting sophisticated counter-cyclical investors."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1979 project_image_fid=363268]

Equitifund isn't just commenting on Melbourne's property market, it's investing in it.

The Sydney-headquartered capital partner has taken over the remaining apartments at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/victoriana-melbourne-20-queens-road-melbourne-vic-3004">Victoriana</a>, the recently completed glass-encased development opposite Albert Park Lake in Melbourne's tightly held St Kilda Road precinct.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> and built by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/hickory">Hickory</a>, Victoriana places residents between one of Melbourne's most recognised parklands and the CBD, offering oversized two and three-bedroom apartments aimed at owner-occupiers seeking a genuine alternative to a traditional family home.

The development comprises 232 completed residences alongside a suite of resident amenities, including a 25-metre indoor swimming pool, gymnasium, landscaped entertaining areas, resident lounges, EV charging, secure basement parking and a concierge-style arrival experience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1979 project_image_fid=363229]

The apartments have been designed with owner-occupiers firmly in mind.&nbsp;Open-plan living and dining areas flow onto generous balconies framing views across Albert Park Lake, Fawkner Park, the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Melbourne skyline.

Kitchens feature Gaggenau appliances, stone benchtops and generous preparation space. Bedrooms include built-in robes, while bathrooms feature full-height textured tiling. Hardwood flooring and ducted air conditioning complete residences designed for long-term living.

Rothelowman's architecture takes its cues from the landscape opposite the site. Sweeping horizontal glazing references the movement of Albert Park Lake, while generous balconies and expansive glazing strengthen the connection between the apartments and the surrounding parklands. The result is a building designed to deliver the scale and amenity expected of luxury apartment living, while offering the larger floorplans increasingly sought by owner-occupiers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1979 project_image_fid=363284]

The location is one of Victoriana's defining characteristics. Positioned on Queens Road, residents are directly opposite Albert Park Lake and within easy reach of Fawkner Park, the Royal Botanic Gardens, South Melbourne, St Kilda Road and the CBD. With few comparable development opportunities remaining in the precinct, buyers are increasingly placing value on outlooks that are unlikely to be interrupted by future construction.

Greg Huxley, Founder of Equitifund, believes those qualities become even more valuable over time.

"Premium real estate has always rewarded buyers who take a long-term view," Huxley said.

"Victoriana represents the kind of asset that's increasingly difficult to recreate today, particularly in an established location like Queens Road."

He said rising construction costs are also changing the way buyers assess completed developments.

"When you combine an irreplaceable location with thoughtful architecture and premium finishes, you create something that becomes increasingly difficult to reproduce as construction costs continue to rise."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1979 project_image_fid=363228]

According to National Sales Director Ben Hamblett, enquiry has been driven largely by Melbourne downsizers and buyers upgrading from smaller apartments.

"Interest in Victoriana continues to build, with strong buyer focus on the larger owner-occupier residences within the development," Hamblett says.

"Enquiry is increasingly driven by local buyers who recognise the rarity of what's on offer: park-facing apartments in an established neighbourhood where new development opportunities are becoming increasingly scarce. At Victoriana, the view is not just a feature; it's an appreciating asset in its own right."

He said interstate enquiry has also strengthened as buyers reassess Melbourne's position within the national property cycle.

"Melbourne currently stands as the most compelling entry point of any major Australian capital, and discerning buyers are beginning to recognise what those who move early always understand: the best opportunities are taken before the price rise confirms them."

Why now is the time to buy in Melbourne's premium apartment market

Developers and apartment buyers have a narrowing window of opportunity before Brisbane's Olympic infrastructure pipeline begins competing directly with residential construction, pushing up costs, tightening labour supply and making new projects increasingly difficult to deliver.

While Brisbane's apartment market continues to benefit from strong population growth and limited housing supply, industry research suggests the years leading up to 2027 could prove to be the most important period for developers looking to secure builders and buyers hoping to purchase before the next wave of price increases.

A new Colliers report, Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games: Creating Solutions, highlights the scale of the challenge. While thousands of new homes are planned across South East Queensland, the Brisbane Olympic Athletes Village alone will deliver more than 10,500 beds during the Games before being converted into around 1,750 to 2,000 apartments. Equivalent to almost two years of typical inner-city apartment supply, the project will also absorb a significant share of the construction workforce and building materials.

The broader construction pipeline paints an even clearer picture.

Construction Skills Queensland's Horizon 2032 report forecasts Queensland's annual construction pipeline will average $69 billion over the coming years before peaking at $75 billion in 2027-28. Demand for construction workers is expected to increase by 17 per cent to almost 150,000 people, with the industry facing an annual shortfall of around 19,000 workers that could blow out to as many as 35,000 during the peak construction period.

The Olympic venues, athletes village and supporting infrastructure will account for billions of dollars worth of work across South East Queensland through to 2032, creating intense competition for labour at a time when Australia's residential construction sector is already under pressure.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150489 project_image_fid=373834]

Colliers Queensland Residential Director Andrew Scriven said the convergence of these projects is creating a clear window of opportunity for both developers and buyers.

"From 2027 onwards, the market will shift dramatically," Scriven said.

"Labour will increasingly be locked into government-led infrastructure and Olympic projects, which means private residential developments will face higher costs and tighter margins. The developers who move now are the ones most likely to get projects off the ground."

Scriven said the same dynamic would also affect buyers, with fewer apartment projects expected to launch once construction capacity tightens.

"If you're looking to change your lifestyle over the next five years, now is your window of opportunity to buy."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150713 project_image_fid=373827]

Developers are already positioning themselves ahead of that window.

Following the success of Monarch at Toowong, Consolidated Properties is preparing to launch two new Brisbane apartment projects in the second half of 2026. They include <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/gloriette-30-bedivere-street-yeerongpilly-qld-4105">Gloriette</a> at Yeerongpilly Green, a 25-storey tower within one of Brisbane's key Olympic precincts, and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/castile-47-skyring-terrace-newstead-qld-4006">Castile</a>, a recently approved 25-storey riverfront development at 47 Skyring Terrace in Newstead.

Hutchinson Builders will deliver both projects, with early works already underway at Yeerongpilly and Newstead expected to commence later this year.

The timing comes as Brisbane's fundamentals continue to strengthen, with strong interstate migration, population growth and vacancy rates remaining below 1.5 per cent.

Colliers Queensland researcher Pragya Sharma said Greater Brisbane is forecast to require around 40,000 new apartments between 2021 and 2031.

"There's a real mismatch emerging between when housing is needed and when it will be feasible to build," Sharma said.

"As a result, the period leading up to 2027 presents a key window of opportunity for developers to secure approvals, funding and construction capacity, while buyers will have greater choice before supply constraints intensify."

Surfers Paradise off the plan apartments

Late last year national apartment developer Pacifico Investments launched Florian, after seeing a gap in the Surfers Paradise apartment market that didn't hit the mark for a lot for owner-occupiers.

A few months later, the project is 30 per cent sold, and Pacifico nailed their target market.

"Most of the buyers have been local owner-occupiers," Pacifico Director Carl Knaggs says.

"We really hit a gap in the market where owner-occupiers were priced out of the real boutique, luxury apartment blocks on the beach, and didn't want to reside in a high density tower.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7349 project_image_fid=207399]

"Florian only has 45 apartments, a maximum of three per floor, which owner-occupiers have responded to."

He says the market they wanted to hit was locals selling their houses and wanting to downsize to something that is on the water, with extensive views, premium amenity, and large internal living spaces. Floorplans start from a generous 125 sqm.

Pacifico have also just confirmed Alex Scionti's Rocking Horse Construction will handle the build.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7349 project_image_fid=207400]

Scionti, who is also a director at Pacifico, established Rocking Horse Construction in 2014. Since then they successfully delivered over 30 apartments projects, the most recent an award-winning project in Brighton Le Sands and one in Baulkham Hills, both in Sydney.

Knaggs said it's important during the current construction climate that they're able to work with Rocking Horse on the project.

"Securing a builder is a big confidence booster for buyers who are seeing projects across the Gold Coast not go ahead," Knaggs says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7349 project_image_fid=207396]

Mode Architects designed Florian so each apartment&nbsp;occupied a different corner of the building, maximizing views, natural light, and breezes from oversized balconies.

Coco Republic handled the interiors of the two and three-bedroom apartments, which are slated for completion in mid-2025.

"Identifying a gap in the market" - Florian, Surfers Paradise sign on builder, hit 30% sold

It was 2007 when the last apartment development was completed on Garfield Terrace, the exclusive stretch of real estate in Surfers Paradise.

That was Jade Apartments, which still holds cache among locals. Some of those apartments, which were selling shortly before the global financial crisis, were fetching over $6 million.

Fast forward 15 years and there's over $1 billion of developments in the pipeline, the majority targeting the high-end buyer pool.

A number of the developers who are tackling the beachfront have brought their money up from Sydney.

The Sydney-based, ASX-listed ASF Group are onto their next project. Having seen success at the nearby The AU, they've recently offered a limited release of residences at Aura on the Beach at 59 Garfield Terrace, just&nbsp;26 full-floor residences and a single multi-level penthouse, one of the largest on the beachfront.

The 31-level tower offers a unique point of difference to other projects. It sits on one of the only corner blocks on the exclusive street with the beach entry just steps from AURA's front door.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9097 project_image_fid=209164]

ASF have also previously developed the masterplan Peninsula Collection on Hope Island, which is sold out and currently under construction.

Also offering a point of difference due to its site is AALTO, the new project from Sydney's Weiya Holdings, another who has already cut their teeth in the local market with DE-LUXE in Burleigh Heads.

AALTO, at 75-79 Garfield, sets itself apart by having 24 metres of beachfront, more than any other project currently in development. It is also located across the road from the BMD Northcliffe Surf Life Saving Club, which will protect the views down to the south.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108209 project_image_fid=206388]

The luxury tower has been in high demand since launching late last year, with a number of whole floor apartments snapped up.

Prices start from $2.32 million for the two-bedroom apartments, which span nearly 200 sqm of living space. There are 66 apartments in the 38-level tower, including a luxury two-level penthouse which is priced at $15.8 million.

Another Sydney developer, Iris Capital, who are prominent in both Sydney and Newcastle and are developing the&nbsp;$800 million Victoria &amp; Albert mixed-use precinct on the site of Broadbeach's famed Niecon Plaza, are awaiting to launch their beachfront project.

Next door to AALTO, the development approved 71 on Garfield will have 51 apartments across its 38 levels.

Floorplans will range from three-bedroom half floor layouts, through to four-bedroom plsu study full floor apartments with their own private plunge pool.

The tower will be crowned by an exclusive collection of dual storey five-bedroom sub penthouses and a triple storey penthouse complete with its own rooftop retreat.

The Sydney-based Sammut Group were debutants when they launched their luxury development Coast, which will be the first to be completed on the strip.

There are local development firms however who are taking on the beachfront.

KTQ Group, who are redeveloping the Kirra Beach Hotel down in Kirra Point to a contemporary mixed-use precinct, have recently secured approval for Seren at 27 Garfield Terrace.

<img alt="Seren KTQ" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9c118b38-88cd-4413-9ab4-d34c902c2c78" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-02-02%20at%201.24.09%20pm.png?VersionId=AlgBtnd_lbF2_gwwfx.HSOK0EBfpGYVw" />

Seren will comprise an independent luxury, 60-room hotel, with some suites offering over 100 sqm of living space.

The hotel will occupy levels three to six, then above is the hotel and the residences pool and recreation decks. Then above the level nine wellness level are the 60 residences, the smallest on offer spanning a huge 350 sqm and offering three-bedrooms and a multi-purpose room.

Frank Licastro's Frank Developments recently secured approval for MIRA, which will have just&nbsp;11 two-level apartments, which are being pitched as "vertical beach homes".

The 25-level tower will be the first of it's kind for the Gold Coast.

“A double-level floor plan is traditionally reserved for the penthouse purchaser," Licastro says.

"At MIRA, every apartment is dual-level, meaning every resident will experience the penthouse way of life – private, elevated and life enhancing."

There's a few projects lined up just off Garfield Terrace, which are pitched at a different type of buyer.

Malaysian developer MRCB's first development on the Gold Coast, 26 Vista, starts from $600,000 for a one-bedroom apartment, and up to $15 million for the penthouse.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=208885]

Matt George, national sales and marketing agency Urban Activation, says the apartments have been well received since launching.

“We’ve had a great amount of traffic throughout the display since opening – a number of groups from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and a lot of people who are looking for a property on the Gold Coast.”

Set to rise 51 levels home to six three-storey townhouses, 267 apartments, six sub penthouses and a full floor penthouse, 26 Vista will reside within walking distance of everything Northcliffe has to offer, from the iconic beach to acclaimed restaurants.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=209971]

An extensive range of amenities will be on offer at 26 Vista including an internal wellbeing precinct featuring a spa, gym, outdoor yoga space, pool, sauna, and steam room, alongside a private dining room equipped with a professional chef’s kitchen, an in house cinema room, co-working spaces and business meeting rooms and a resident’s lounge.

Level 51, which offers 360-degree views over the Gold Coast, will house a secondary residents lounge located beside the level observation deck, bordered by a lush rooftop garden.

“26 Vista presents a rare opportunity for buyers in pursuit of lifestyle, a coastal destination, and unparalleled amenity at their fingertips,” said George.

George says the whole&nbsp;Garfield Terrace precinct has really come to life in the last two years and there are a lot of significant players circling around sites to be a part of the area’s transformation.

“It is certainly the number one strip on the Gold Coast when it comes to new ultra-luxury apartments."

Brent Thompson's Siera has development approval for a high-end project just off Garfield Terrace at Enderley Avenue.

They'll be developing just 54 apartments across the 25-level BDA Architecture-designed tower at 8 Enderley Avenue, offering a maximum of three apartments per floor.

Residents will enjoy extensive amenities in the project, which is becoming a signature of Siera's Gold Coast developments with their recent Tapestry development showcasing a rooftop amenity not yet seen before on Chevron Island.

There will be two levels of amenity, with the lower level hosting a communal mezzanine with a spa, gym and sauna, and the upper level with a lap pool with pool deck, barbecue alfresco and dining space, a private dining area with a bar and cellar room, a games room, and a space with work from home facilities.

$1 billion apartment development pipeline to transcend Garfield Terrace 

The French Riviera, also known as the Côte d'Azur, is a coastal region in the southeast of France, stretching from Saint-Tropez to Menton.

Known for its glamorous resorts, picturesque coastal towns, crystal-clear waters, and sunny climate, the area has long been an inspiration for designers around the world, with the idealistic landscape often displaying a sense of calm and luxury.&nbsp;

Pacifico Investments have utilised the experience of renowned interior designs, Coco Republic for their Surfers Paradise development, Florian, which draws on the Riviera for its design.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7349 project_image_fid=207391]

In combination with Mode Architects, the river-fronting Florian will deliver just 45 residences upon completion, with a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

Taking full advantage of the site’s coastal locale, Coco Republic have transformed the residences into personal sanctuaries, drawing on the setting of the waterways which evoke a calm and serene experience within each.&nbsp;

Full-height glass and high ceilings invite an abundance of natural light into the homes, while also revealing vistas to the wider Gold Coast landscape from the oversized balconies that adjoin each interior.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7349 project_image_fid=207399]

Following an open plan design, the living, kitchen and dining areas incorporate timber floors, creating a layer of warmth, while considered joinery and stone islands further reference the idea of the natural.&nbsp;

Coco Republic’s wealth of knowledge ensures spacious furniture layouts through the apartments, which further benefits the versatile spaces found in the apartments, which come in the form of multi-purpose rooms, easily adapting to every buyer’s needs and lifestyle choices.

Optimal storage options have also been provided throughout, giving more room for the residences to feature a considered design and layout.&nbsp;
