One of the most significant beachfront projects ever proposed for the small suburb of Miami on the Gold Coast, has taken a major step forward.&nbsp;Monaco Property Group has secured approval for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nalu-miami-122-marine-parade-qld-4220">NALU</a>, a $500 million development comprising just 45 ultra-luxury residences on the iconic former Nobby’s Outlook site.

Acquired by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/monaco-property-group">Monaco Property Group</a> in 2024 for $70 million, the rare 7,238 sqm Marine Parade parcel boasts more than 80 metres of uninterrupted ocean frontage.

With approvals now secured, Monaco Property Group will move NALU into its delivery phase. The project has been designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, who collaborated with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/ldg-landscape-architecture">LDG Landscape Architecture</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/tom-mark-henry">Tom Mark Henry Interiors</a>&nbsp;to create the low-rise building, its landscaping, and interiors.

Residences will range from 237 sqm layouts to beachfront homes exceeding 1,400 sqm.

At the heart of the project is a 2,200 sqm lifestyle precinct with a bathhouse, fitness centre and resort-style pool, elevated by a concierge service.

Jonathan Grasso, Co-Founder of Monaco Property Group, said the council approval marks an exciting milestone for NALU, which will launch in Q1 2026.

“The project will now progress toward construction, working alongside our world-class collaborators to bring NALU to life," Grasso said.

“Our vision is to create a legacy project for the Gold Coast, one that not only honours the history of the site but also elevates its future, setting a new standard for coastal living in Australia. NALU embodies the pinnacle of design and location and will stand as an enduring icon of prestige and liveability.”

<img alt="NALU" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6ae8545b-87ca-4dea-90ed-ac273ec6515d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Image7.jpg?VersionId=Wnmie4bu3x2WQonnG4Pwmh39NdZVKeOV" />

Originally developed in the 1970s as Nobby’s Outlook and later refurbished in 2019 as Nalu, the property has long held a place in the local community’s coastal identity. The new vision will build on this legacy, creating luxury residences that capture ocean views while fostering a lifestyle defined by wellness, connection, and ease.&nbsp;

Beyond its residential offering, NALU will deliver significant economic benefits to the Gold Coast through job creation and opportunities for local suppliers and contractors. Construction is anticipated to commence in early 2026, with completion expected in Q3 2028.

Monaco Property Group approved for $500 million NALU apartments on Miami beach

The most elevated residential tower in Palm Beach, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/corallo-palm-beach-5-palm-beach-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">Corallo</a>, has officially launched this week, however only a handful of buyers will have an opportunity to buy in to the 17-storey project.

The $200 million mixed-use project includes ground floor dining and retail and is considered so valuable its developer, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/changfa-group">Changfa Group</a>, will be staging its release of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses to the market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=806]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> International, Director, David Higgins, said the development’s location just metres from the beach on the corner of Palm Beach Avenue and the Gold Coast Highway influenced the sculptural design by the acclaimed Plus Architecture studio.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> locals understand the rare opportunity here at Corallo, particularly being the tallest building in the suburb and its proximity to the beach and local restaurants, and they’ve represented the bulk of pre-launch enquiries,” Higgins said.

“The orientation of the apartments captures views of the coastline from Surfers Paradise to Currumbin, and the diversity of floor plans and apartment types provide an exceptional level of choice.

“The first release includes just 59 one-, two and three-bedroom apartments and two half-floor penthouses, with flexible use designed to appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors."

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=799]

In addition to the ground floor amenity, residents will also have access to a private dedicated wellness level offering 734 sqm of resort-style amenities including a pool, cold plunge, wet deck, steam room, sauna, gym, day bed, fire pit, barbecue area, dining area and yoga/stretch deck.

The project is located within walking distance of Tallebudgera Creek, Burleigh Heads village, Currumbin Alley and Palm Beach Currumbin High School. The Gold Coast Airport is under 10 minutes away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=814]

Higgins said Palm Beach remained a hotly contested suburb for home buyers, with prices doubling in the past five years.

“What makes Corallo so appealing to the local market is the diversity of apartment types and pricing, with one-bedroom apartments starting from $841,000 and two-bedroom apartments starting from $1.34 million,” he said.

“The ground floor retail and dining offering will further expand on Palm Beach’s village atmosphere and create a meeting place for locals, and those opportunities for connection are highly valued.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=807]

The on-site sales display, which includes a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, will be open until early works commence in Q1 2026. Each residence at Corallo will feature premium finishes including natural stone, artisanal brickwork, and warm copper accents.

Changfa Group has a two-decade history of delivering premium developments in Australia and internationally, having recently completed its collection of premium townhomes at Lyra, Hope Island, as well as apartment projects in Leichhardt, Carlingford, and Chatswood in New South Wales.

$200 million Corallo Palm Beach launches with limited apartment release

In a move that aligns with NSW's accelerated planning incentives for affordable housing, developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/the-one-collection">One Collection</a> has revised its Hills District apartment plans, and taken it to the NSW Government, to secure approval.

The developer, which is currently delivering Horizon Hurstville, is seeking to add 80 more apartments to its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-castle-hill-16-dawes-avenue-nsw-2154">Castle Hill development</a> near Castle Towers. They already have approval for 280 apartments across eight six-storey buildings.

<img alt="One Collection" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3c298ba-1cc5-4db7-9872-607c75f8ceca" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=wN9KpFIu5ENSGZLLsaZgXQHrXcwEO3Vd" />

Now on the desks of the NSW Department of Planning is 360 apartments, 48 of which will be dedicated to affordable housing.&nbsp;Affordable housing is to be “fully integrated within the building and visually indistinguishable,” according to the planning submission.

The 15,697 sqm block, an amalgamation of 16 sites, spans across Dawes Avenue, Hughes Avenue, and Camdan Crescent, sits 550m from Hills Showground Metro Station.&nbsp;

"The existing context is quickly changing from free-standing homes into residential flat buildings in line with the Hills Showground Precinct planning framework," Place Studio noted.

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3ec24948-c185-48fa-af8b-ed25adf302bf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.04%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=zNDX.IeRROX1RlDeYcS38xn8w_dqgU2t" />

They said the design was informed by the site's unique condition of having three street frontages and was developed to to respond sensitively to iots surrounding context.

"The design adopted a conventional perpendicular alignment to the primary street frontage. The massing of the development was carefully modulated to align with the evolving character of the neighbourhood. The design ensured that the scale was not excessive or out of context, but instead contributed to a cohesive urban form consistent with emerging developments in the area."

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f83ffdaa-f960-469d-b6fe-abcece57c9ef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.09%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4oKlCyfaKes7jLi1_EMoqa46w2h_YvDZ" />

The apartment mix will be 46 one-beds, 168 two-bed apartments, and 146 three-bedroom units, with 631 parking spaces proposed.

Along the street frontages, the building heights are four storeys with a 7.5 metre setback, and eight storeys with an 11.5 metre setback. It should cost about $150 million to build.

One Collection works hand-in-hand with the respected development and construction firm Masscon, which has built a reputation for leveraging its expertise in the built environment to take on developments others can't. That's what they're achieving at Horizon Hurstville, having taken over the project to deliver it.

At Yarra’s Edge, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a>’s newest tower under construction, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/trielle-at-yarra-s-edge-docklands-16-point-park-crescent-docklands-vic-3008">Trielle</a>, sets a new benchmark for elevated living. Rising 45 storeys, 12.5 metres from the Yarra River, the landmark building offers residents access to a private wellness retreat and spa, a resident-only golf simulator, and an elegant lounge, dining and bar complete with a self-playing piano, all without ever having to leave home.

Now, that sense of elevation has reached new heights with the Aerus Sub-Penthouses, a limited release of half-floor riverfront residences on the Collins St axis where the sought-after street meets the Yarra River.

Each Aerus Sub-Penthouse, located across levels 42 and 43, represents the most expansive offering within Trielle, aside from the yet-to-be-revealed crowning penthouses. Spanning between 269 and 301 sqm, these residences are designed to capture natural light and uninterrupted views of the city skyline, Yarra River, and Port Phillip Bay.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3784]

Among the collection are three-bedroom sub penthouses, complemented by a media room, and expansive four-bedroom layouts. All include panoramic living areas and oversized master suites with luxury ensuites reminiscent of a five-star hotel, complemented by dedicated dressing rooms finished in timber and natural stone.

The interiors have been crafted by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/mirvac-design">Mirvac Design</a>, the developer’s award-winning in-house architecture and design team. Every material has been chosen for quality and longevity, from sculpted stone island benches with feature soft wash LED lighting to bespoke joinery and chevron timber oak flooring.

Kitchens are fitted with a BORA induction cooktop with integrated downdraft extractor, alongside Gaggenau appliances, including a fridge, freezer, and wine fridge. The adjoining butler’s pantry incorporates the exclusive Gaggenau Minimalistic Series including oven, steam oven, microwave, coffee machine and warming drawer, all concealed behind handleless glass panels for a clean, integrated presentation. Bathrooms feature custom Apaisar freestanding baths and basins and natural stone benchtops, continuing Mirvac’s design emphasis on tactile, timeless materials.&nbsp;

<img alt="Trielle at Yarra's Edge, Docklands" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c00be724-b0f1-47c0-afed-54f829870704" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Aerus%20sub-penthouse.png?VersionId=Uktd61kpLSqNjwJeDFs7IaZ3xgLlDQmu" />

Michael Wiener, Design Director at Mirvac, says The Aerus Sub-Penthouse embodies the apex of Mirvac’s design ethos.

“Moving through your home is like walking on air - a private sanctuary where the craftsmanship is refined, the proportions generous, and the flow so effortless, you feel completely at ease in the sky,” Wiener says.

“In Aerus, we wanted to create a sense of weightlessness - a home that feels suspended in the skyline, full of light, grounded in luxury.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3777]

The Aerus Sub-Penthouses are expected to attract a mix of local and international buyers seeking a long-term residence of scale and quality in a riverfront setting, from returning expats to established families and business owners who value privacy, craftsmanship, and convenience within walking distance of the CBD.

With an unmatched suite of amenities, Trielle is the most extensively appointed development Mirvac has created to date at Yarra’s Edge. Within the tower will be The Oasis, a 900 sqm podium rooftop wellness retreat designed in collaboration with spa expert Naomi Gregory. Located seven storeys above the Yarra River promenade, it features a 25-metre lap pool, spa and sauna, hot magnesium spa, biophilic gym, yoga and Pilates studio, cold-pail contrast treatment, and day spa treatment rooms. Further amenities include a piano lounge, bookable dining room, cinema room, golf simulator studio, games room, teppanyaki bar, dog wash bay, and two flexible work hubs, The Biblioteca library and Mills Place office space, catering to residents’ evolving lifestyle needs.

Construction of the $350 million tower is underway through Mirvac’s in-house construction arm, with completion anticipated for mid-2027.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/jwland-development">JWLand</a>’s De Burgh, the final residential release within the Northbourne Village precinct in Lyneham, is nearing completion just as the Federal Government’s Home Guarantee Scheme prepares for its most significant expansion to date.&nbsp;

From October 2025, the scheme will allow first home buyers to enter the market with just a five per cent deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), removing some of the most common barriers to ownership.

With <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/de-burgh-at-northbourne-village-40-de-burgh-street-lyneham-act-2602">De Burgh</a> on track for residents to move in by late spring 2025, the timing creates a strong opportunity for first home buyers seeking brand-new apartments in Canberra’s sought-after Inner North.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=212888]

The project delivers 350 residences across two buildings, with layouts ranging from compact studios through to one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.

JWLand has tailored the development for long-term liveability, integrating natural light, privacy and outdoor space into each home. Ground-floor residences feature private courtyards, while upper levels benefit from generous balconies.

Kitchens are fitted with Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, and all apartments include ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning with smartphone app control for lighting and climate.&nbsp;

Shared resident facilities include a rooftop garden, gym, lounge and parcel lockers, alongside landscaped green space within the precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=267376]

For buyers, the expanded Home Guarantee Scheme removes income caps and introduces unlimited places, making it more accessible than ever. With most De Burgh apartments priced under $1 million, they fall well within the updated eligibility thresholds.

The policy changes provide first home buyers with greater certainty and a smoother path to finance. Combined with the quality and location of De Burgh, the expanded scheme is expected to draw a new wave of buyers to Canberra’s Inner North.

Residents will benefit from the project’s central setting, just 600 metres from the light rail and three kilometres from Canberra’s CBD. The precinct is bordered by the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/lyneham-act-2602">Lyneham</a> wetlands and sits within easy reach of cafes, restaurants, schools and the ANU.

With completion scheduled for late 2025, De Burgh is set to be among the first major apartment projects to meet the expanded scheme head-on, offering first-time buyers a realistic pathway to ownership in one of Canberra’s most connected neighbourhoods.

Western Australia

The national property developer Goldfields is already seeing high demand for it's maiden Western Australia land development, set in the heart of wine country, Margret River.

The 47 hectare masterplan, called Spindrift, will be officially unveiled this month.

Construction has begun on the 423-lot project, three kilometres south of the Margaret River town centre in WA's South West area.

Spindrift is surrounded by a developed community to the west and established Karri trees to the north and east. The first release of land will have prices starting from $194,500.

Gareth Wilson, Goldfields General Manager in WA, said Spindrift was perfectly positioned within a short drive to town while still having access to the natural beauty of Margaret River.

He said the development’s larger lots, intelligent design and landscaped reserves would make it highly sought after in a constrained local real estate market.

“Margaret River offers a unique opportunity to live in one of Australia’s most picturesque and renowned destinations and continues to be one of the most sought-after regions in WA,” Wilson said. “Housing demand has continued to outweigh supply in Margaret River which is testament to the attractiveness of the South West lifestyle.

“Spindrift will play a pivotal role in meeting short and medium term demand for housing in Margaret River.”

Spindrift is centred on a strong sense of community, where residents can immerse themselves in nature while still enjoying the comforts and amenity of modern life. It&nbsp;will offer all the amenities expected of a contemporary estate, including immediate access to neighbouring parks and playgrounds, schools, shopping strips, cafes, restaurants and medical facilities.

<img alt="Spindrift Goldfields" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="45ea4607-d6af-4c87-9448-52c216d28499" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-11-28%20at%201.43.30%20pm_0.png?VersionId=g3sfILTkHvjeotjkCCiCGs2Xg1k2gbdh" />

Brook Palmateer, Associate Director at Acton Belle Property in Margaret River, said early interest levels in Spindrift were on par with that seen at larger, metropolitan housing developments.

“Interest is coming from a wide variety of people, but particularly local homebuyers,” Palmateer said. “That early interest has been all the greater because there are very few blocks on the market in the region at the moment.

“Everything has sold, there is hardly anything titled on the market and the only things that are titled at the moment are on very steep blocks that are harder and more expensive to build on. We have a significant lack of stock at this price point for people to choose from, across the whole South West region but particularly in Margaret River.”

The Augusta-Margaret River Shire recorded a sharp 17.8 per cent increase in population from 2016 to 2021 in Census data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The estimated local population of 17,298 represented a year-on-year increase of 2.85 per cent compared to 0.93 per cent population growth in Regional WA more broadly.

According to the Real Estate Institute of WA (REIWA), there were a total of four properties advertised for rent on reiwa.com on 31 October 2022. In October 2021 there were two, and in October 2020 just one.

“We have a housing crisis in Margaret River and the surrounding region at the moment,” Palmateer added. “People cannot find anywhere to live – there is nowhere that is suiting them to buy, there’s no land to build on and we’ve got a rental shortage, and almost zero percent vacancy rate.

“80% of the walk-ins to our office are people looking for rentals. Margaret River in particular, closely followed by Dunsborough, are in the highest demand. Not only are a growing number of people keen to move here and enjoy the beautiful lifestyle now that they have more flexibility with working arrangements, but there are a lot of local people that are looking for housing as well, people that have been here 20-30 years. It is across the board.

“Spindrift is ideally situated to address this significant need for more housing in Margaret River and it is doing so at a great price point, in a central location close to amenities and all the natural beauty the region has to offer. This land will be snapped up swiftly.”

Construction has begun on the 423-lot project, three kilometres south of the Margaret River town centre in WA's South West area.

Boutique developers Norup + Wilson have been making a name for themselves across Perth for a number of years, having now amassed a portfolio that spans far and wide, with over half a billion dollars on the books.&nbsp;

Headed by Director’s John Norup and Dave Wilson, the group focuses on the owner-occupier, &nbsp;paying particular attention to the standard and range of first-class amenities on offer within their multi-level communities.&nbsp;

It’s been no different for the group’s imposing 21-storey community on the high-point of the coveted Mount Pleasant and Applecross peninsula - having attracted the interest of buyers not only for its enviable location.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=203919]

“In order for a community to function efficiently and happily, an enormous amount of careful thought and effort needs to be invested in the planning, design and built-form solutions to which they lead,” said Wilson.&nbsp;

“From the outset of this ambitiously innovative residential development, my focus has been on ensuring that all the community facilities integrate seamlessly with the private living areas. In this way, resident privacy and security are maximised as elegantly as are the shared benefits of the resort-quality these facilities provide.”

“Our goal is to set an unrivalled benchmark in apartment living.”

The action begins across the ground floor, transitioning into a destination entertainment piazza featuring an eclectic assortment of cuisines and experiences, with a number of restaurants already operating on the doorstep of The Precinct, and a handful still to come.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=203923]

More often than not, developments focus their private amenity offering around the pool. The Precinct has instead incorporated the facilities into distinct zones throughout, allowing residents to fully enjoy each space.&nbsp;

Reminiscent of the finest resorts across the world, The Precinct is home to an indoor and outdoor gym, a running track, a swimming pool, Bocci pit, cabana daybeds, Teppanyaki barbecues, a residents lounge and library, a wine room and a kid’s play room.&nbsp;

For the exclusive use of Sky Residents from levels 17 to 21, a Sky Lounge is also part of The Precinct, encompassing some of the best views on the west coast.&nbsp;

“The only difference between this peaceful escape from the everyday and the kind of relaxing, five-star resort you’d find in some distant tropical paradise, is that this one is yours. Your own piece of paradise,” Wilson said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8514 project_image_fid=203920]

The Precinct stands as the most prominent landmark in the Canning Bridge Precinct, commanding views of every facet of the city, from Kings Park and the CBD, to the converging Swan and Canning Rivers and the distant escarpment to the east.&nbsp;

Norup + Wilson chose the landmark site to maximise the Melville Council’s $235 million redevelopment vision for the precinct. Over the next ten years the Canning Bridge area is expected to be transformed with an expanded train station, river ferry and revitalised town centre on par with what was witnessed at Subiaco and East Perth.&nbsp;

"Your own piece of paradise": Inside the Mount Pleasant apartments with resort-inspired amenities

In a bid to improve housing supply and affordability, the Western Australian Government further built on the states rebates for off the plan apartments back in May this year.&nbsp;

Conceived as part of the state’s largest budget, the new $50,000 rebate is in place for purchasers of off the plan apartments until the end of October 2023.&nbsp;

There is a sliding scale for concessions for a pre-construction contract entered into between 1 June 2022 and 24 October 2023.

Buyers will see 100 per cent of the duty paid by the WA Government if the property is&nbsp;valued at $500,000 or less, capped at a maximum of $50,000

There will be between 100 per cent and 50 per cent of the duty paid if the property is valued at more than $500,000 but less than $600,000.

Then from $600,000 plus, 50 per cent of the duty is paid, capped at a maximum of $50,000.

Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan said the budget measure was focused on lifting housing supply while addressing unaffordability.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8516 project_image_fid=205534]

“The measures would create a pipeline of more affordable homes into the future, while also providing greater assistance to those seeking to purchase homes at the affordable end of the market, and aim to smooth the construction pipeline beyond the current boom in activity,” he said.&nbsp;

Stirling Capital's Cirque Duet has apartments that will see buyers pay $0 stamp duty. Prices start from $495,000 for the one-bedroom stock in the resort-inspired Mount Pleasant development.

Conceived as twin towers, Cirque Duet residences are connected above street level through an expansive podium of more than 3,000 sqm, housing the project's extensive amenity offering.&nbsp;

From a heated swimming pool to a children’s playground, Cirque Duet offers up some of the best Perth has to offer.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8516 project_image_fid=191424]

The podium also features a spa and sauna, a gym, private dining rooms, cabanas, a cocktail bar, and barbecue facilities.&nbsp;

The amenity continues inside as well, with residents treated to a luxury cinema to watch all the latest blockbusters from the comfort of their own home, and a library.&nbsp;

Along the ground floor, the hotel-inspired lobbies also feature a concierge desk and access to a business centre and meeting room.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=8516]

Soaring above the Canning River, Stirling Capital's Cirque Duet lends its hand to the Government’s stamp duty rebates, offering a selection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

Construction has commenced on the South Perth project, One Richardson, with one of Perth’s leading multi-residential and mixed-use builders on the task, Emco.&nbsp;

Developed by Subiaco-based developers, Devwest, One Richardson will deliver a collection of 75 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, along with a series of two-storey penthouses.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7809 project_image_fid=203882]

Over 50 per cent of the apartments have already sold in the project, which have been designed by MJA Studio.&nbsp;

Sitting atop a ground floor cafe, as well as a welcoming resident’s lobby, each apartment has been architecturally designed to suit a range of lifestyles and buyers.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The project also leverages on its enviable Swan River location.&nbsp;

Overlooking Richardson Park, One Richardson fronts an expansive public open space, which delivers not only park fronting apartments, but also creates uninterrupted river views, which are normally only attained in high rise developments, brimming with residences.&nbsp; &nbsp;

One Richardson offers a large range of leading sustainability initiatives to help reduce the development’s environmental footprint, including features such as solar energy to common areas, energy efficient lighting and appliances, water efficient tapware and fixtures, electric storage units, solar efficient glazing and more.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7809 project_image_fid=203877]

Centrally located on the corner of Richardson Street and Melville Parade, One Richardson enjoys views to the Swan River, along with a residential communal area located on the third floor, complete with barbecue facilities and lush landscaping.&nbsp;

Devwest have taken to transforming the Perth property market, with a number of projects currently in the works and recently completed including, The Bradshaw Residences in Manning and the soon to be launched, Olive Street apartments, which will form part of the revitalisation of Subiaco.

Over the last few years, as people are spending more time in their home and working remotely, resident amenity in apartment towers has gone up several notches.

Resident amenity can be the defining factor in a buyer's decision to secure an apartment in one development over another, and developers are becoming wise to that fact.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203301]

Cygnet West's Director of Residential Projects, Sales and Marketing, Greg Billings&nbsp;says buyers are very well educated on the latest trends.

“Buyers know what they want in both design and specification - with the specification having the ability to make or break a project,” Mr Billings said.&nbsp;

One development ticking all the boxes on buyers’ lists is Prosper Living’s South Perth apartment project, The Pearl.

The Pearl’s amenities have been designed as an extension of the apartments, with Prosper Living’s CEO, Maggie Cai saying they provide a place for residents to interact with one another, and to relax without the need to maintain the facilities themselves.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203302]

“To reflect the beautiful Swan River and leafy parklands of South Perth, The Pearl uses many natural elements within the amenity level. From considered landscaping to herb gardens and citrus trees, residents will enjoy a tranquil oasis,” Ms Cai said.&nbsp;

“Residents can enjoy the beautiful river views from the resident's lounge, while the facilities also provide a place for wellness and well-being in which residents can escape from the busy city lifestyle without the need to travel.”

“The Pearl's amenities are like a resort hub for residents,” Ms Cai added.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Mr Billings highlighted how important the location was in the final design of the project, saying location is key, with buyers seeking walkability to shopping and restaurants, along with easy access to the city.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203307]

“Whilst there are various projects approved in the South Perth area already, it is likely future development will compromise the views for some of those projects,” he said.&nbsp;

“The majority of the apartments in The Pearl will have ‘forever views’ and with South Perth so keenly sought after by many buyers due to its proximity to the CBD and amenity, The Pearl has positioned itself as one of the stand out projects in the area.”

A variety of buyer demographics have been flocking to The Pearl, with predominately owner-occupiers securing apartments in the building.

That’s where the focus on the curated amenities particularly come into play, says Mr Billings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203306]

“The typical owner-occupier comes from a larger home and likely has many of these amenities in their existing property. Moving to The Pearl means they enjoy the use of the gardens and pool, plus the additional amenities, without having to manage or maintain them," Mr Billings concluded.

With sustainability also high on the buyer shopping list, a number of developers have looked to achieve environmental excellence in design and construction, with The Pearl meeting these standards with a 5 Star Green Star rating.&nbsp;

Spacious one-bedroom apartments with river views, start from $515,000 at The Pearl.

Coupled with a range of two, three and four-bedroom apartments, The Pearl has a home to suit everyone.&nbsp;

Perth locals, Stirling Capital, have long had a desire to produce sustainable and environmentally conscious projects.

The group, led by Managing Director, Luke Reinecke, incorporates designs with embedded networks that use smart metres, renewable energy sources such as solar panels, and measures to optimise energy savings for residents of every project.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108682 project_image_fid=200530]

“Sustainability is integral to every brief we provide to our architects – from water and energy efficiency to materials selection and other initiatives, we consider sustainability throughout every stage of every project to ensure optimum environmental performance from the ground up.”

Stirling’s Jolimont project, Florin, follows suit with the group’s sustainable ambitions, with the Parkside residences achieving a 5 Star Green Star rating.

Launched by Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) in 2003, Green Star is Australia’s largest voluntary and truly holistic sustainability rating system for buildings, fit-outs and communities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108682 project_image_fid=200529]

Green Star aims to reduce the impact of climate change by promoting developments and communities that support a more sustainable way of life, with all projects displaying a Green Star Certification Trademark passing through an independent assessment process.

With a 5 Star Green Star rating, Florin represents Australian Excellence in sustainability, with features such as ceiling fans, energy-efficient lighting and appliances, a highly efficient heat pump water system, and 40kW solar helping the project reach the mark.

All common areas are also serviced by 100 per cent renewable energy, while extensive landscaping ensures the living spaces are directly connected to nature, blending seamlessly with the neighbouring park.

These benefits also help to keep living costs down for residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108682 project_image_fid=200535]

The $37 million project will deliver 63 residences to the Jolimont area, with the family-sized apartments offering sweeping views to the neighbouring park and CBD skyline.

One, two three and four-bedroom apartments are still remaining in the project, with completion slated for the back-end of 2023.

How Florin Parkside takes on a sustainable design 

Perth property developer Prosper Living has just launched The Pearl, a mixed-use development on one of South Perth's best streets.

The Pearl will rise 25 levels from 3 Lyall Street, just a stones throw from the Swan River. There will be 137 one, two and three-bedroom apartments across the tower, which will also include three two-level sub-penthouses, as well as a special penthouse across the top two levels.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203313]

"The Pearl is destined to become a landmark in every direction across the city and the Swan River," Prosper Living say.

The Pearl has been designed to be&nbsp;delivered as a 5-star Green Star mixed-use development, with retail and hospitality located across the ground floor plane.&nbsp;

Following an open-plan layout, the apartments&nbsp;connect to expansive balconies, offering panoramic views across the River to the City skyline in the east, Matlida Bay to the west and the Canning Bridge and the Canning River in the south-east.

"The Pearl adopted a series of design strategies to reduce energy consumptions and enhancing thermal comfort via efficient central gas hot water plant, roof-mounted solar panels, high-efficiency LED lighting and appliances, smart control system, home energy and water metering systems to allow residents to track their water and energy used," the architect said to the project.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203302]

The Pearl will exceed solar access levels, with the dynamic shape of the building's footprint maximising&nbsp;natural cross-ventilation and light&nbsp;into each of the apartments, while&nbsp;high performance double glazing systems and beyond NCC standard insulations are also incorporated to maximise thermal comfort for residents.&nbsp;

A green spine softens The Pearl's façade, providing light throughout the development, with the greenery spilling into the lobby area.

Level three will be home to The Pearl’s residential amenity, with a lounge and dining area, along with a fully equipped kitchen and large temperature-controlled wine storage, a games room and pool table, and a 12-seater cinema.

The space is also set to include&nbsp;an infinity edge pool, with the pool deck sitting amongst lush greenery and a herb and citrus garden, as well as an alfresco entertainment area, complete with a barbecue area and an enclosed dining space, along with a massage room, a yoga deck, a gym and a sauna and steam room.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9197 project_image_fid=203450]

Completion on The Pearl is slated for the end of 2024.
