<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> has lodged plans for a $750 million, three-tower mixed-use precinct that would complete the long-running redevelopment of Carlton's former Carlton United Breweries site.

The proposal at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/185-195-queensberry-street-carlton-vic-3053">46-78 Bouverie Street and 185-195 Queensberry Street</a> spans a 6,468 sqm site, the last remaining undeveloped parcels within the former brewery's 2007 masterplan.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the development will comprise two purpose-built student accommodation towers and a third build-to-sell apartment tower above a shared commercial podium and basement.

Across the three towers, SP Setia is proposing 606 build-to-sell apartments and 1,499 student accommodation units containing 2,009 beds.

The apartments will sit in the tallest tower, which will rise nearly 200m and 55 storeys. It will become&nbsp;one of the more substantial new build-to-sell apartment projects at the northern edge of Melbourne's CBD.

The apartment mix is weighted toward smaller inner-city product, with 188 studios, 206 one-bedroom apartments, 192 two-bedroom apartments and 20 three-bedroom apartments

<img alt="First look: SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8271bc87-1b0a-41b7-ac73-a425ee375261" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/3_2.png?VersionId=G4lw23o90B1boX4k4dj7rdz2ZEajS9wy" />

Part of the precinct will be a large-scale&nbsp;3,684 sqm supermarket and a further 2,198 sqm of speciality retail, creating close to 5,900 sqm of new commercial space within the precinct.

But one of the biggest components of the proposal is what sits between the buildings.

Around 4,650 sqm, or roughly 72 per cent of the site, will be publicly accessible open space, incorporating plazas, pedestrian connections, landscaped laneways and retail spill-out areas.

The ground plane is intended to finally complete pedestrian connections envisaged when the CUB masterplan was first approved nearly two decades ago, stitching together Victoria Street, Queensberry Street, Bouverie Street and Swanston Street through the former brewery precinct.

Urbis said the development would "complete the CUB precinct", with the public realm providing important north-south and east-west connections through what is currently the final undeveloped portion of the masterplanned site.

SP Setia is also exploring a new linear park within the Bouverie Street road reserve, with the concept to be developed further with the City of Melbourne through the planning process.

The proposal is being pursued through the Victorian Government's Development Facilitation Program under Clause 53.23 for significant residential development with affordable housing.

The planning report acknowledges the proposed heights exceed those contemplated under the original Comprehensive Development Plan and masterplan, but argues the built-form context has changed considerably over the past two decades.

Urbis said the three towers would instead create a stepped transition between Carlton and the Hoddle Grid, rising progressively from the 94.1-metre Tower One along the Queensberry Street edge to the 199.44-metre Tower Three closer to the established CBD-scale buildings to the south.

<img alt="SP Setia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e885a07a-592c-40fc-bf82-e6dbaf32da54" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.52.24%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7s_ErUkSKAdY1mAWp3GRZgMNCGtwhk5m" />

SP Setia plans to deliver the development across three stages.

Stage One would deliver the basement, podium and retail areas for the entire precinct alongside the first student tower. Tower Two would follow in Stage Two, before the 606-apartment Tower Three is delivered as the final stage.

If approved and delivered, the project would close out a redevelopment process that has been underway since the former brewery masterplan was approved in 2007, adding more than 2,600 student beds and apartments to a precinct already home to Swanston Central, the Barak Building, RMIT Design Hub and several large student accommodation developments.

SP Setia plans three-tower finale for Carlton’s former CUB precinct

Melbourne developer Lowe Living is seeking to add to its growing bayside apartment pipeline, filing plans for a boutique eight-residence development in tightly held Middle Park.

Lowe Living, which has built much of its development portfolio across Melbourne's affluent bayside and south-east suburbs, is behind the plans for the 730 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/123-125-erskine-street-middle-park-vic-3206">123-125 Erskine Street</a>, just off Armstrong Street and within the Armstrong Street Neighbourhood Activity Centre.

The developer is seeking approval for a five-storey residential building above two basement levels, with just eight large-format apartments and 18 car spaces.

“This is a deliberately very different proposition for us,"&nbsp;Tim Lowe, Co-Founder of Lowe Living, said.

"Eight residences is exceptionally boutique, but that's precisely what this site calls for.

“There is a strong community in Middle Park and the surrounding suburbs who have spent decades building a life here. They no longer want the maintenance of a large period home, but they aren't prepared to compromise on space, quality or location. We think there is a real opportunity to capture that hyper local market. A site like this rarely comes to market.”

<img alt="Lowe " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="875fe572-0f14-4d90-9e11-55b28dd07731" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.42.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=GDNQRv9BfpR9r1zkZ5UDyUM4ZvpIksut" />

The low-density proposal has been designed by Cera Stribley and is being progressed through the Victorian Government's Great Design Fast Track pathway, having already secured eligibility from the Minister for Planning.

The Office of the Victorian Government Architect supported its eligibility after finding the proposal demonstrated consistency with the program's seven design principles, while the project's financial feasibility has also been independently confirmed by Invest Victoria.

The project is targeting the downsizer market, with the planning documents describing the homes as larger-format residences and noting the two penthouses could otherwise have been configured as four separate apartments.

<img alt="Lowe 2" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="60ab0987-2da6-4175-adac-315dcf6053c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.15%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=bOCPH0B2MFwlmaRW.TTCF9TzyifgVoQI" />

The site has dual frontage to Erskine Street and Canterbury Place and currently comprises a collection of commercial buildings used as offices, including a former heritage bakehouse, a former stable, a later gabled addition and a central courtyard.

It sits within the Commercial 1 Zone and the Armstrong Street Commercial Precinct heritage overlay, with the existing property classified as a contributory heritage place.

Heritage has subsequently played a significant role in Cera Stribley's design.

The front section of the former bakehouse facing Erskine Street will be retained, including its return walls, street-facing hipped roof and chimneys, while the Erskine Street façade and part of the western return wall of the former stable will also be incorporated into the new development.

Levels four and five will be set back five metres from the retained stable façade, while bricks removed through demolition are proposed to be salvaged and reused within the new building where possible.

<img alt="Lowe 3" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e97927a9-a2de-4a0f-83b6-65451238abfa" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-21%20at%208.43.06%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=VR44AChLrX9q1XPB9GvVQV.ALXXbe4gC" />

Rather than presenting as a single five-storey building to Erskine Street, Cera Stribley has broken the development into a series of distinct forms.

A three-storey infill element will sit between the retained bakehouse and stable façades, with the upper levels recessed behind the heritage fabric. Canterbury Place will similarly feature two three-storey podium forms, separated by a central pedestrian accessway, before the upper two levels step back from the street.

A pedestrian through-link will run through the centre of the project between Erskine Street and Canterbury Place, creating entrances from both sides of the site and introducing landscaping and communal areas through the ground plane.

Landscape architect Acre has designed planting across the ground level, private terraces and upper levels, including a feature canopy tree at level three and integrated planting and arbours across the level four terraces. Five existing Erskine Street trees are proposed to be retained.

Sustainability is also a significant component of the Great Design Fast Track application. The apartments are targeting an average eight-star NatHERS rating, with no residence below 6.5 stars, while the project has achieved a 75 per cent BESS score. Seven of the eight apartments are designed for cross-ventilation, with the remaining residence using mechanically assisted natural ventilation.

The plans also incorporate an 8kWp rooftop solar system, a 5,000-litre rainwater tank and infrastructure allowing future electric vehicle charging for every residence.

Lowe has a strong portfolio across Melbourne's blue-chip suburbs. They recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/jardin-house-by-lowe-living-camberwell-335-camberwell-road-camberwell-vic-3124">Jardin House by Lowe Living</a> in Camberwell, their first development in the Stonnington LGA.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dvb-projects">DVB Projects</a> is preparing to launch its second Gold Coast apartment development, with demolition now underway on the Broadbeach site as the Sydney developer moves closer to bringing the ultra-luxury project to market.

The 34-level tower at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/137-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">137 Old Burleigh Road</a> will comprise just 49 residences, ranging from half-floor apartments through to full-floor homes and a penthouse. The launch follows the strong sales performance of DVB's nearby Sea Glass development. More than half of the apartments at Sea Glass, on the other side of Broadbeach, have been snapped up, well ahead of its late 2027 completion

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2944b4be-c84e-4b54-8dc1-c712e76704c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/E02_Exterior_Street%20Level%20Entrance.jpg?VersionId=YoNig7pRdrE3HCue7sUj78LzJteeQf3H" />

The start of demolition at 137 Old Burleigh Road signals DVB Projects’ underlying confidence in the Gold Coast’s luxury beachside apartment sector.

“We see the Gold Coast as one of the most compelling lifestyle markets in Australia, particularly at the premium end where demand continues to deepen,” said Dean Brown, Managing Director of DVB.&nbsp;

“This project has been carefully designed to respond to that demand - delivering large-format residences with a level of quality, privacy and amenity that is still relatively rare in the apartment market on the beachside."

Brown says the site itself is "exceptional."

"Old Burleigh Road is one of the most tightly held beachfront strips, and opportunities to deliver a project of this scale and calibre in this location are extremely limited.”

<img alt="DVB Projects to commence demolition on $320m Broadbeach luxury tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="398f377a-c037-455e-9250-0c5e0d84c35b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/I12_FF%20Balcony.jpg?VersionId=NwOiRWGMubR1c8wthuEfggklcja7al9." />

The project will comprise 40 half-floor residences of approximately 260 sqm, alongside eight full-floor residences spanning around 524 sqm.

A single penthouse will crown the building, featuring a private pool, barbecue area, indoor gym and dedicated entertaining spaces.

Residents will have access to a resort-style suite of amenities, including a 20-metre pool with daybeds, a gymnasium, hot and cold plunge pools, a sauna, and private residents’ lounge and dining facilities.

Sales agent Todd Matheson, of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/pezet-matheson">Pezet Matheson</a>, which is marketing both 137 Old Burleigh Road and Sea Glass, said 137 Old Burleigh Road would address a clear gap in the market for genuine luxury products.

“There are very few opportunities on the Gold Coast where buyers can secure a residence of this size and quality in a new building,” Matheson said.

“What we’re seeing is a growing cohort of downsizers and interstate buyers who still want space - they’re not willing to compromise on living area, entertaining or finishes.

“This project has been designed with that buyer in mind. It offers the scale of a home, combined with the convenience and security of apartment living, in one of the coast’s most desirable positions.”

Located on a 1,156 sqm site one block from the beachfront, the development will replace an ageing walk-up building and is expected to contribute to the ongoing transformation of the Old Burleigh Road strip into one of the Gold Coast’s most prestigious residential corridors.

With the development moving into the delivery phase, 137 Old Burleigh Road is slated to hit the market later this year.

DVB Projects to launch second Broadbeach apartment tower as demolition commences

<a data-end="327" data-is-only-node="" data-start="250" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/norus-projects" rel="noopener" target="_new">Norus Developments</a> has lodged plans for a new apartment development in Clayton that would add further momentum to the suburb's emerging Green Street corridor.

Plans have been lodged for the consolidated site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1359-1365-centre-road-clayton-vic-3168">1359-1365 Centre Road</a>, where Norus is seeking approval for 218 apartments across a 12-storey apartment building designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/life-architecture-and-urban-design">Life Architecture</a>.

The proposal sits within the Clayton Major Activity Centre at the threshold of the planned Green Street corridor, a landscaped pedestrian connection intended to improve links through the precinct towards Clayton Railway Station.

The development would replace the site's existing collection of low-scale residential and commercial buildings with a single consolidated building, introducing significantly greater housing density to this part of Centre Road.

A retail tenancy is proposed at ground level to activate the Centre Road frontage, accompanied by transparent street interfaces and landscaping intended to create a more pedestrian-focused edge to the development.

<img alt="First look: Norus Developments plans landscape-led apartment project for Clayton’s emerging Green Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0a5a763a-d9e9-4253-af2f-88008de27ebf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Clayton%20a.png?VersionId=S2WJJbat1XVkZwB9SnYtygirXgWHiklX" />

The building has been designed with stepped massing and upper-level setbacks to manage its transition towards surrounding residential properties. The planning report describes the approach as one that integrates the building into the landscape rather than treating landscaping as a secondary element.

"A strong landscape and public realm strategy underpins the proposal," Urbis states in the planning report.

"Public benefits include an affordable housing contribution, a new pocket park, generous landscaped setbacks, deep soil planting and integrated Water Sensitive Urban Design."

The report adds that these elements are intended to create "a permeable, pedestrian-focused ground plane that enhances walkability, supports urban cooling and reinforces the emerging Green Street character."

Biophilic and passive design principles extend through the residential levels, with planting, daylight, natural ventilation and views towards landscaped areas forming part of the amenity strategy.

Parking would be concentrated away from the public realm, with 145 car spaces proposed from the rear laneway rather than dominating the Centre Road frontage.

The proposal follows an extensive pre-application process with the City of Monash. Three formal meetings were held between the project team and Council from December 2025 to March 2026, with the scheme evolving through several concept iterations before the current design was lodged.

The project arrives as Clayton prepares for substantial change around its established activity centre and the wider Suburban Rail Loop precinct. Its position on Centre Road places the development within an existing concentration of shops, services and public transport, while the Green Street connection is intended to strengthen pedestrian access towards Clayton Railway Station.

The Sydney prime residential market grew by 4.7% in the year to the end of March 2020, and 1.2% in the first three months of 2020. 
But husing markets across prestige markets in Australia "remain in a state of flux" given the restrictions on viewings and lower transaction volumes reflecting the uncertainty which has returned to the market.
"This is likely to place pressure on prices from Q2 2020, but until now, they’ve remained firm," according to Shayne Harris, Knight Frank’s head of residential.
“This holding pattern is likely to change course as each state relaxes restrictions and we will be closely monitoring how the Sydney residential market responses when open homes and live auctions are permitted to take place from this Saturday 9 May in NSW. 
“Most important will be how much confidence has been restored to the economy, and as a result, the impact of unemployment in five months’ time when the financial mechanisms put in place by the government ease."
In the year to Q1 2020, 76% of global cities recorded flat or rising prime property prices.
A look at quarterly shifts with the impact of Covid-19, the report noted all five of the weakest performing markets being in Asia in Q1 2020.
Bangkok witnessed the deepest decline at 5%.
Data from Singapore looks to be stuttering following the resurgence in Covid-19 cases.
Before the crisis took hold, the Sydney prime residential market was performing well by global standards, enduring 28 quarters of positive annual growth, averaging 8% growth per annum since March 2013. 
Benchmarking five years earlier to the fall of the Lehman Brothers in Q1 2008, Sydney has experienced growth of 73% in prime prices since this time, significantly outpacing cities such as New York, London and Hong Kong. <img src="https://content.knightfrank.com/blog/2020/4/91c48c30-3655-4419-8e40-102df64646e1/pgci12020fig1.jpg">This rapid rate of growth had slowed in recent years to a more sustainable pace as the maturing Sydney prestige market has settled into its own growth trajectory, detaching from the performance of the mainstream property market.

The world’s rich are on the move… sometimes to Australia where the ultra high net worth individuals are a happy property loving lot.
Ultra high net worth individuals (UHNWI) have a net worth of over US$30 million, excluding their home. 
Focusing purely on the population of wealthy residents, Knight Frank data confirms that London remains the single biggest centre for global UHNWIs, followed by Tokyo, Singapore and New York. 
<a href="https://www.knightfrank.com/resources/wealthreport2015/global-c/04-kf_globalcities_aw-big.jpg" target="_blank">Sydney</a> had 765 UHNWIs, with Melbourne on 456. Auckland sits in between on 557.
Perth edged out Brisbane with 267 to 249.
London tops the list with 4634 UHNWIs followed by New York with 3008.
Last year around 15 people a day joined the ranks of the 172,850 ultra-wealthy across the world. 
Only 4% of the UHNWIs who are Australians and New Zealanders were considering a move out of the country, and just 15% were thinking of upgrading their trophy homes.
Australasia seem happiest with their lifestyles, the report concluded.
By contrast, a third of those from Russia and the CIS are considering a move, and over 60% dispatch their children abroad for their secondary education. 
The fifth instalment of The Wealth Report’s annual Attitudes Survey is based on a detailed survey of almost 500 leading private bankers and wealth advisors from across the globe, and reflects the attitudes of their ultra-wealthy clients who have a combined wealth of over US$1.7 trillion.
Covering many aspects of the lifestyles of ultra-high-net-worth individuals (those with a net worth of over US$30 million), from wealth creation to philanthropy, from property investments to luxury spending trends, the survey’s findings offer a unique insight into the attitudes of the super-wealthy.
"One of the clear trends to emerge is the increasingly global nature of private investments," the report noted.
"UHNWIs still hold most of their property investments in their own country, but in the vast majority of the locations surveyed, wealthy private individuals have been increasing the amount invested overseas."
Matt Whitby, group director, head of research and consulting at Knight Frank, said there were 1,734 UHNWIs living in Australia in 2014.
“UHNWIs are now an important force in the commercial property world and are operating at all levels – prime, secondary, development and change of use," Matt Whitby added. "UHNWIs are now looking beyond prime or trophy offices and retail space as a safe haven for their funds; they are prepared to look up the risk curve to non-core locations."
Matt Whitby said over the past decade that Australia was positioned fourth in terms of countries with the greatest foreign inflows of High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs), with a gain of 22,000 which represents 14% of the total 158,300 Australian HNWI population. 
UHNWI is defined as someone with a net worth of US$30m or more, excluding their principle residence, while HNWI is defined as someone with a net worth of US$1m or more, excluding their principle residence.

Sydney sits 14th in world rankings with 765 ultra high net worth individuals: Knight Frank Wealth Report

Brisbanite Dana White - not the UFC president - and her husband Tony have spent $6.5 million to buy the Noosa retreat of the former Toll Holdings boss Paul Little.
Little is the chairman of the Essendon Football Club and has been a prominent public figure during the club's investigation by ASADA for alleged doping offenses.
His Witta Circle luxury house went on the market in 2011 with a price tag of $7.2 million having paid $7.6 million in the pre-global financial crisis year, 2007.
<a href="https://propertyobserver.com.au/forward-planning/advice-and-hot-topics/trophy-homes/34692-essendon-chairman-paul-little-s-witta-circle-noosa-offering-under-contract" target="_blank">Property Observer speculated in August it had been sold for around $6.25 million</a>.
The property comes with five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a cinema and an office.
Barry Andersen at Rymar Properties bought the property for $2.6 million in 2005, selling it to Little in 2007.
The White's own a house in Clayfield, the Brisbane suburb which was bought in 2009 when the family moved from Albury.
(The initial article published wrongly identified the buyer.)

Interior designer Mark Gacesa doesn’t think Queensland design gets the kudos it deserves, which will be put to the test with his own stunning Sunshine coast home up for sale. 
His cutting edge 348 square metre Buderim house is being marketed as "like no other to hit the market."
The Los Angeles inspired residence is the home of international, multi award winning designer from Ultraspace.
The 6852 square metre bushland building block was bought for $210,000 in 2007.

175 Sawreys Road is for sale through <a href="https://www.century21.com.au/property/295592/" target="_blank">Century 21</a> marketing agent Grant Smith whose office fit out has been undertaken by Gacesa. It is being offered for October 11 auction.
It is the first residence of Ultraspace to hit the market on the Coast, furnished and styled with the option to purchase the property fully furnished being encouraged.
The main entrance sits above artificial turf with LED-lit feature gardens.
"The glamour, style and trend are apparent right from entry," says Smith.
A library with custom-designed fret panels, integrated gardens, mirrored ceilings and imported designer-pendant lighting is complemented by seamless retractable doors.
The family room is ideal for children as there are three bedrooms in the wing.
The main living area integrates with a kitchen where illuminated and thermo-formed Corian tops appear to float, thanks to the effective use of mirrors. Blue LED lighting, concealed cabinets and a panoramic gas cooktop are hugely impressive.
Open-plan, tiled living spaces with feature European wallpapers all create a sense of space and glamour.
Floor-to-ceiling glass stacker doors open on to the tiled alfresco deck, creating an integration of outdoor living with the bushland backdrop.
The main living area features integrated sound and vision over a panelled feature wall. A rotating suspended fireplace hovers over semi-circular feature turf, with an illuminated, custom media centre built in.
The alfresco deck, with built-in cocktail lounge, is enclosed by concealed insect screens.
Off the living room is a designated gym or fifth bedroom as well as an impressive and spacious laundry featuring illuminated gold alligator walls.
The master suite finds a chandelier floating above a velvet chair, and bronzed mirrors, woven sandstone and Corian create a bedhead over cantilevered and integrated drawers. The open ensuite is nothing short of glamorous and the ensuite powder room features European glass-beaded wallpaper in various cuts of diamonds.
Gacesa told Jen Bishop, the publisher of Interiors Addict in 2012, his signature elements move "anywhere from 7-star hotel look, ultra-glam Dubai influences to modern ‘could be in a New York nightclub’ vibe, to relaxed, contemporary Balinese resort inspired, to luxurious and sophisticated Fifth Avenue Manhattan feel. There are no aesthetic limits!”
