The Melbourne-based HLA Group is the latest developer to expand into South East Queensland, lodging plans for a unique mixed-use short-term accomodation and apartment building in Taringa, with the building design inspired by the Glasswing Butterfly.

The development application for 10 Morrow Street seeks approval for a total of 232 dwellings, comprising 116 residential apartments and 116 short-stay accommodation units. The build-to-sell residential component is made up of 31 one-bedroom apartments, 67 two-bedroom apartments, 17 three-bedroom apartments, and a single four-bedroom apartment, offering a diverse mix aimed at singles, couples, families, and downsizers.

Designed by Ellivo Architects, the tower takes strong inspiration from nature, with the architectural language driven by one of Queensland’s most delicate species. As described in the planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council, Ellivo Architects state the design is “inspired by the elegance of the Glasswing butterfly," and mirrors the graceful sweep of its wings, a form that feels light, fluid, and alive.

“Lush subtropical greenery is throughtfull woven throughout, transforming the building into a sanctuary in the heart of the city.”

The proposal positions the building as more than a conventional residential tower, with Ellivo Architects describing 10 Morrow Street as “an urban oasis that blends short term accomodation with residential living. A destination for rest, relaxation, and renewal.”

Formally, the building’s massing and floorplate are directly shaped by its butterfly inspiration. Ellivo explain that, “adopting the wings of the Glasswing Butterfly, the tower's plan is divided into four distinct quadrants, each shaped to mirror the wing's segmented geometry and taking the slender ‘veins’ up the facade of the tower.”

"This approach results in a sculpted tower form with articulated façades and a strong vertical expression."

<img alt="Taringa" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5947011d-ff6c-4a57-bdc1-9072a472a79c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.40.29%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=nnGqd4WCZM8AOJZY.c3u49BO4LurKRhb" />

The Assessment Report by Human Habitats said the 19-storey tower capitalises on its strategic connectivity and prominence at the entrance of Taringa Village and adjoining the Taringa Station.

"The proposal offers a significant revitalisation of the subject site that integrates architectural excellence, innovation, and sustainable design to directly address long-standing connectivity and safety challenges, housing supply , and diversity together with enhanced streetscape activation and convenient access to major transport corridors."

HLA Group Australia is registered to South Yarra and is currently delivering Adamson No.5, just 15 luxury apartments that start from around $2 million.&nbsp;

The Butterfly Effect: Glasswing butterfly inspires Taringa apartment development

Sutherland Shire-based developer Sammut Group, who was one of the first Sydney developers to jump to the Gold Coast at the onset of the pandemic back in 2020, is looking to expand its QLD pipeline.

The developer, who will complete COAST on Surfers Paradise's beachfront Garfield Terrace early next year, has filed plans for a 42-unit block on the river in Toowong.

Bureau^proberts designed the Glen Road building, suggesting that 44 Glen "acknowledges a transitioning suburb."

"A place where traditional Queensland living has taken place for centuries; Toowong is seeing a shift of contemporary influence, commercial and retail hubs mixed with well-considered residential offerings – all the while maintain its character and charm," the architecture noted in the Urban Design Report submitted to the Brisbane City Council.

The "well-considered residential offerings" no doubt refers to Consolidated Properties Monarch Residences, which is approaching completion on Coronation Drive, and Graya's ARC Residences a few doors down.

<img alt="Sammut" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bc73fa6a-e0c9-4ab1-b8d1-84cb8b45a932" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.22%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=fxM0S81Jd.qZJTe5Wdju0TuOfnyxbM3C" />

"With a site rich in history - proud in its riverfront setting, the architectural form of 44 Glen is a direct influence of its contextual place," the report added.

"The considerations of a flood impacted site, adjacent development scales, local view corridors, unique dual river vantage &amp; city aspects result in a shaped, elegant building form proud in its setting."

<img alt="Sammut" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="53469fd8-e7e4-4a50-a992-417221187e93" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ohkRkY0dIZlqdfME2EZePsCQavRiBadE" />

They said the mix of four and two-bedroom apartments capture the "fundamental qualities of Queenslander living," translated into the context of a contemporary subtropical building.

Public records show the last time the site traded was last year when JGL Properties bought it for $8.7 million. It sold to Sammut with development approval for The Dell, just 22 luxury apartments.

The Assessment Report by Urbis suggested the new plans "are consistent with the City Plan provisions, particularly the themes and outcomes of the strategic framework, purpose, overall outcomes and the intent of the High Density Residential Zone."

"The proposed changes are generally consistent with the previous approval. Notably, the development continues to deliver a residential scheme with high quality architectural design and features."

They said the proposed change maximises the number of dwellings overlooking the Brisbane River, highlighting its importance as a natural asset in inner city developments.

Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play

After several years defined by rapid price growth, tightening construction conditions and a thinning development pipeline, the Gold Coast apartment market is entering a more considered phase.

Demand for well-located, design-led apartments remains strong, particularly in established coastal suburbs where supply is constrained and planning controls are more defined. At the same time, elevated construction costs, financing pressures and longer approval timelines have forced many developers to recalibrate, resulting in fewer projects, but generally higher-quality ones.

The result is a market that is increasingly polarised. At one end are tightly held, boutique developments targeting owner-occupiers seeking generous internal space, high levels of amenity and proximity to the beach. At the other are larger mixed-use or higher-density schemes that rely on scale, strong branding and careful staging to proceed. What has largely disappeared, although some developers are able to make it work, is the mid-market volume product along the coast.

Buyer demographics are still mixed. Local buyers from South East Queensland are now driving the majority of enquiry and transactions. Where purchasers were predominantly cashed-up buyers from southern capitals which really kicked off the multi-year boom, recent price growth across Queensland has shifted that profile, with SEQ-based buyers increasingly well capitalised and active in the market.

Like the majority of the country, the Gold Coast is expected to fall well short of its housing targets. Around 38,000 new dwellings are required over the next decade to keep pace with population growth, with the majority expected to be apartments in new high-rise buildings. That equates to roughly 50 high-rise developments each year, a figure that is unattainable in the current environment of elevated construction costs and ongoing labour constraints.

When supply falls this far short of demand, upward pressure on prices becomes inevitable, placing developers in a strong position across much of the coast.

Below are 10 of the most notable Gold Coast apartment projects set to come to market next year, developments that reflect where the market is heading and the type of product buyers are increasingly seeking.
</article>

<h2>Exhale 
Where: Surfers Paradise 
Who: SIERA</h2>

SIERA will launch its beachside Surfers Paradise apartment development, Exhale, in early 2026. The project targets the suburb’s missing middle near Northcliffe Beach, delivering just 54 generously scaled two- and three-bedroom apartments, a density blend between high-rise living and full-floor residences rarely seen locally.

Designed by BDA Architecture, the 25-level tower will house a maximum of three residences per floor.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=300829]

The slender form draws from surrounding sand dunes and the coastal landscape, with two dedicated entry points, one toward Northcliffe light rail station and the other providing direct beach access just 60 metres from the site.

Wellness underpins Exhale’s design. A two-level podium will feature a heated spa, sauna and gym, a Zen garden, a north-east-facing pool, and private dining and lounge spaces that extend daily living beyond the apartment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=355937]

SIERA Founder and Director Brent Thompson says the project was shaped around how residents would live, a design process that began even before securing the prime site.

<h2>Sandpiper 
Where: Broadbeach 
Who: Polycell</h2>

Polycell will launch its second Broadbeach project in early 2026, following the success of its debut development, The Rochester, which is approaching sell-out ahead of its late-2027 completion.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sandpiper-broadbeach-155-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">Sandpiper</a> will replace the existing Sandpiper Resort on Old Burleigh Road, rising more than 50 storeys and delivering around 200 apartments, predominantly two- and three-bedroom residences, alongside a limited collection of four- and five-bedroom homes.

<img alt="Sandpiper" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d4ca0547-afd0-4e1f-9b24-2ebbc0ef3dd6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Sandpiper%202.jpg?VersionId=m8fhW_jnIA9G93M79AQsw29j5NT9r8Bl" />

Designed by BDA, Sandpiper will mirror the elevated amenity offering seen at The Rochester. Residents will arrive via a porte-cochere into a hotel-style lobby, with private facilities spread across three levels including a lap pool with floating day beds, hot and cold plunge pools, sauna and steam rooms, gym and yoga studio, golf simulator, private dining spaces, wine room, and an upper-level residents’ club.

“A site like this is incredibly rare and we expect the market to react positively and swiftly when we launch early next year.”

Geocon Group has been given the green light to develop its Woden Pool Project, securing the future of the aging community facility with a contemporary aquatic centre designed for year-round use by families, schools, fitness enthusiasts and the broader community.&nbsp;

There will be 286 new units delivered as part of the first stage. There will be around 700 units across three stages.

“This approval represents an important step forward for Woden and reflects a significant private investment into a major community sport and recreation facility," Geocon says.

"We understand how important the Woden Pool has been to local families over the years and we are proud to be contributing to infrastructure that will deliver long-term benefits for residents, families and the broader community, while supporting the continued revitalisation of the Woden Town Centre.”

With approval secured, Geocon Group is preparing to formally release the associated residential apartments to the market, capitalising on the project’s prime Woden Town Centre location and its integration with a major new indoor aquatic facility.

“We have designed the residential apartments as part of a well-considered Woden precinct that prioritises lifestyle, long-term amenity and connectivity," added Geocon.

"Future residents will benefit from a premium town centre location and the integration of high-quality recreation and lifestyle infrastructure, providing confidence in the quality and longevity of the development.”

Works are expected to commence on site once all relevant approvals are in place. The existing ice rink will continue to operate as usual, and the current 50-metre outdoor pool will remain operational during its normal seasonal opening days and hours.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sherpa-property-group">Sherpa Group</a> has secured development approval for its $240 million Flourish Symphony, a project set to bring affordable apartment living to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/south-brisbane-qld-4101">South Brisbane</a>.

With prices starting from $665,000, Sherpa begins to move <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/symphony-south-brisbane-21-23-cordelia-street-south-brisbane-qld-4101">Symphony</a> into its delivery phase, with construction now commenced. They will deliver 138 apartments across 27 levels, offering a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences.

Brisbane is experiencing a major population growth as it gears up for the Olympics, with research suggesting its population will reach 4.34 million by 2066, leading to a surge in demand for affordable residential apartments.&nbsp;

“Getting council approval marks an exciting milestone for us at Sherpa,” said Christie Leet, founder of Sherpa Group.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7574 project_image_fid=3770]

“Brisbane is such an incredible location and is undergoing a period of major growth as it looks to host the 2032 Olympic Games and enjoys significant population growth and supply challenges. We hope to accommodate this growth by delivering affordable apartments that locals have a genuine chance of securing when some apartments in the market are cost-prohibitive.”

The DA approval follows closely behind Symphony’s sales success, which has seen 73 per cent of apartments sold within one week of launching.

The project builds on the group’s success in Palm Beach on the Gold Coast, where it has recently launched Flourish Oasis.

“We are immensely humbled by the response we have received for the Flourish brand so far -it’s clear each project has resonated with buyers seeking thoughtful, innovative design,” added Leet.

“We want to create spaces where everyday life feels extraordinary – that’s what Flourish is about.”

“They’re looking for the flexibility to change workspaces depending on their circumstances, or for a collaborative environment where they can work with others," he said.
“A hair salon with three unused chairs or a cafe’s kitchen outside of hours could be perfect to list on Spare Workspace as the platform grows.
“Whether you have a meeting room, desk or event space, you can easily share it with others. For our hosts it is free to list, and although SpareWorkspace takes a nominal fee, it remains a cost-effective way to utilise a space that may not otherwise be used. Plus, hosts can manage their growing collection of spare workspaces via our online dashboard. ”
“Our easy to use platform helps businesses every step of the way. From marketing their space to taking payments, Spare Workspace is designed to be a seamless addition to help manage an existing space. Plus, all our hosts can take advantage of on-the-ground support and local knowledge.”
Dimarco said the benefit to the “typical” Spare Workspace user will be the ability to book space from as little as one hour to up to 12 months.
 
 
 
The site launches with the majority of listings focusing on Brisbane and Sydney locations but is expected to expand nationally by the end of the year.
While the current offering focuses on existing co-working space and offices, Dimarco noted there was opportunity to branch into allowing businesses like hair salons and cafes to offer their unused spaces.
Spare Workspace has partnered with Wotso Workspace, Microsoft BizSpark, PIN Payments, Uber and Corporate House.

Spare Workspace launches to share and book empty workspaces with others

Low Doc Loan Experts CEO and Founder Yannick Ieko has launched a new website that aims to help people understand low doc loans and the benefits they provide to self-employed applicants who do not meet general lenders requirements to demonstrate their income.
The site is <a href="https://www.lowdocloanexperts.com.au" target="_blank">www.lowdocloanexperts.com.au</a>.
“I find that there are many small to medium business especially in the trade areas that may not meet the rigid criteria for a traditional loan and have the capacity to purchase but need the flexibility of a low doc loan,” says Yannick.
After the GFC, low doc loans all but disappeared from the marketplace. They became too difficult because of stricter regulations and major banks stopped offering them in their product range or imposed requirements, which made them just as difficult to get as standard loans.
Today, some smaller lenders have started to offer low doc loans, including for SMSFs, on the condition the applicant’s earnings can be confirmed by an accountant. Although only a handful of lenders offer these products, it opens the way for so many more Australians to buy, refinance or get equity out of their properties.
Because it is also available for SMSF lending, it opens up new investment strategies to people who would have otherwise been locked out.
“There is only one low doc option we are aware of for residential properties in SMSF and it requires the use of the special Eclipse structure. It's very niche and a little technical but it can absolutely be done,” says Yannick.
Low doc lenders are offering document-free loans so long as the applicant’s earnings can be guaranteed by an accountant.
He suggests this is especially hopeful for the self-employed who struggle to demonstrate an income because:
<ul>
<li>They haven’t lodged their paperwork to the tax office.</li>
<li>Their business is young and doesn’t have a solid income history.</li>
<li>Could also include people whose business is taking off and current income may not be reflected in lodged tax returns for 12 to 18 months</li>
</ul>
