<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c8b3d2d3-c561-4bfc-a5d9-a68c0c10dac1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da1.png?VersionId=AeAEyJU02Gk2k5noUj2StziCvdQ7fW4B" />

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

Western Australia

Home values in the West Australian capital have seen a greater increase than in both Sydney and Melbourne since the start of the year.

CoreLogic&rsquo;s latest Home Value Index highlighted that&nbsp;Perth&nbsp;property values were up 0.6 per cent in May and a total of 3.6 per cent since the beginning of the year.

While last month&rsquo;s price growth resulted in the city&rsquo;s median unit price hitting $410,000&nbsp;according to CoreLogic&rsquo;s property value insight, buyers shouldn&rsquo;t be deterred with the city continuing to have the second most affordable median unit value in the country.

Perth's top six off the plan apartments currently selling in June

The collaboration between Aria Land and Blueways Group continues to see success in Perth&#39;s most sought-after suburbs.

They&#39;ve recently hit the milestone of 60 per cent sold at Bloom Residences, their premium Hassell Studio-designed development of just 38 apartments in the affluent Nedlands area on the Swan River.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93813 project_image_fid=178504]

Buyers have a small window to secure a Bloom apartment with a discounted 50 per cent stamp duty concession from the government, which is only applicable for contracts exchanged before construction begins. Site works have commenced, with construction expected to start later this year.

The one, two and three-bedroom apartments, which start from $649,000, can now be secured with premium upgrade packages of some of the appliances and fixtures.

The upgraded design schemes include two new options, with Brass and Bronze, featuring a myriad of details and finishes improving the already impressive quality of the Bloom residences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93813 project_image_fid=195317]

The Brass scheme delivers a vibrant, Mirage Lake honed quartzite natural stone to the kitchen island bench, splashback, and bathroom vanity, with the bespoke, award-winning, NOVAS Frame Collection in a Satin Gold finish complementing the tapware, showers, accessories and door ware fittings throughout.

Timber-look joinery with integrated Lo &amp; Co&rsquo;s Kintore Range appliance and linear pull handles increase the luxe feel of the residences, along with accent cabinetry by Rimex Metals, with a satin stainless steel in champagne finish above the induction cooktop.

Woodpecker&rsquo;s Signature Oak Range &lsquo;Marina&rsquo; engineered timber flooring lays the platform to the Brass scheme homes, with Legrand Home Automation, including lighting control, Wi-Fi appliance control and Smart Energy monitors included in the upgrade.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93813 project_image_fid=195318]

The Bronze scheme is set to follow a similar design influence, with an elegant, Mont Blanc honed quartzite natural stone for the kitchen island bench, splashback, and bathroom vanity, while the tapware, showers, accessories, and door ware fittings will feature the NOVAS Frame Collection in a Satin Antique Bronze finish instead.

Timber-look joinery with integrated Lo &amp; Co&rsquo;s Kintore Range appliance and linear pull handles are included once again, with the floor covered in the Woodpecker&rsquo;s Signature Oak Range in &lsquo;Alpine&rsquo;.

Accent cabinetry by Rimex Metals is in a satin stainless steel bronze finish above the induction cooktop and the design scheme also includes the Legrand Home Automation.

Both design upgrade schemes also include a Coco Republic Design Experience, which includes an in-store consultation with an interior designer and discounts on Coco Republic furniture and homewares.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=93813]

The premium apartments can be bought with discounted stamp duty, only before construction commences


Bloom Residences, Nedlands apartments, hit over 60 per cent sold 

Following the success of their sold-out Cirque Residences in Mount Pleasant, the renowned Western Australia builder developer, Stirling Capital, has launched its sister tower, Cirque Duet.

The new 20-storey, 98-apartment tower sits on the banks of the Canning River.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8516 project_image_fid=191440]

Promising peak luxury and amazing views of the Perth CBD across the Canning and Swan rivers, Cirque Duet offers buyers the chance to join an established community that has received nationwide acclaim.

Cirque is one of Western Australia&rsquo;s most-awarded residential apartment projects, noted for its design, amenity, and sustainability.

Luke Reinecke, Managing Director of Stirling Capital, said the accolades are recognition for Stirling&rsquo;s focus on design-led developments that are sustainable and sit comfortably in their surroundings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8516 project_image_fid=191421]

The secondary tower will link to the original project, Cirque, creating a butterfly-building profile with the wing opening up views for apartments along the rivers.

Comprising one, two and three-bedroom configurations, Stirling engaged MJA Studios to&nbsp;design the tower.

The fourth floor will be home to a 3000 sqm podium deck which will join the two buildings. Providing shared lifestyle spaces and features, the podium will feature a heated swimming pool, spa, sauna, steam room, gym, private dining, wine room, children&rsquo;s playground, barbecue facilities and a pet wash, all set amongst extensive landscaping.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8516 project_image_fid=191426]

Internally, the residences have open, functional layouts, luxury finishes and high-end V-Zug appliances.

To top it off, Cirque is the first residential building in WA to certified as a five-star building by the Green Building Council of Australia, with car share facilities available for residents. &nbsp;

Residents also have access to a train station, local retail, and cafes, and walking and biking trails nearby.

Stirling launch second Mount Pleasant apartment tower, Cirque Duet

For their most recent luxury project in Perth, the ASX-listed property developer, Mustera Property Group, went overseas to acquire a unique design.

They had the Singapore-based WOHA to handle the architecture for Forbes Residences,&nbsp;a boutique collection of just 34 three and four-bedroom&nbsp;residences in the popular riverside suburb of Applecross.

The internationally renowned, award- winning architectural firm has important connection to Perth, through lead project architect and co-founder, Richard Hassell, who graduated from the University of Western Australia in the late 1980s.

&ldquo;We were approached by Mustera Property Group to explore the idea of a new mixed-use high-rise typology for Applecross, Perth,&quot; Hassell told Urban.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93814 project_image_fid=193390]

&quot;They were aware of our projects in Singapore and wanted to see if our design strategies could be adapted to suit Perth&rsquo;s climate and context.

&quot;Western Australia has a beautiful climate and landscape and our client wanted to bring something different to the fairly homogenous market,&rdquo; Hassell said.&nbsp;

&ldquo;This is why, together with MJA Studio, WOHA were commissioned to design a development that offers a better high-rise lifestyle, one that maintains the feel of the leafy suburbs with plenty of options for indoor/outdoor living.&rdquo;

Inspired by Applecross, the&nbsp;ambition for Forbes was to create exceptional riverside homes for residents to enjoy all the area has to offer.

&ldquo;The key aspect of the Forbes development is that it&rsquo;s designed, not as a stand-alone urban object, but as a three-dimensional environment that contains liveable, generous homes, shared facilities, commercial spaces, community services within gardens, natural light and air.&rdquo;

Presented as four organically shaped towers, connected via a series of sky gardens, fresh air and light weave throughout every level, creating naturally lit and ventilated lift lobbies.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93814 project_image_fid=193525]

&ldquo;Applecross offers a beautiful garden suburb environment on the peninsula, and it inspired the building form, which is expressed as four modernist &ldquo;villas&rdquo; on a romantic mountainous landscape.&rdquo;

&ldquo;This expression gave us the opportunity to create extensive &#39;hanging gardens&#39;&nbsp;which drape the podium form and extend up the roof. These gardens preserve the garden suburb quality, create greater privacy, frame views, and enhance sociability through forming &#39;neighbourhoods&#39;&nbsp;of 12 apartments each.&rdquo;

The &ldquo;mountain&rdquo; is an inhabitable landscape from the gardens shared with the public on the ground and first-level, to the social areas for the commercial and residential spaces.

&ldquo;The gardens are not just nice to look at but also perform meaningful environmental services that benefit the development site as well as the district. The extensive greenery reduces the heat island effect, noise, and dust, prevents glare, and provides a habitat for biodiversity.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93814 project_image_fid=193388]

The rooftop space also provides additional gardens for the penthouses, increasing the green-plot ratio and providing a cool and pleasant &ldquo;fifth fa&ccedil;ade&rdquo;.

WOHA have been developing and evolving their design strategies for over three decades, building a range of prototypes over time which have influenced the design of the Forbes Residences.

&ldquo;Our Parkroyal Collection Pickering project, with its hanging gardens and landscaped, topographical podium, Skyville @ Dawson with its sky village concept and communal sky terraces, or the Oasia Hotel Downtown with its lush green fa&ccedil;ade and green plot ratio of over 1000 per cent, are just a few of our previous projects where we also drew inspiration from.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=93814 project_image_fid=193389]

While the group have produced high-quality and innovative designs across the globe, fitting into the context of Perth was always going&nbsp;to be a challenge. As a city with few high-rise developments, and with the suburbs known for the idyllic tree-lined streets and single family properties, Forbes Residences&nbsp;deliver something new to the western coastline.&nbsp;

&ldquo;The challenge for this development was to come up with a high-rise design that harmonises and adds greater amenity along with its higher density to its low-rise neighbourhood.&rdquo;

&ldquo;To us, it&rsquo;s always exciting to see our strategies come to life and being adapted in a different part of the world, with a different climate and cultural context. We are happy that we&rsquo;re able to work with our talented local partners to realise this vision of Forbes Residences as a civic building that shares its assets with the community and enhances its environment, enriching the quality of life for all.&rdquo;

Located just 10-kilometres from the Perth CBD, Booragoon is an established suburb with commercial areas located centrally within the City of Melville.

Landing in the heart of the sought-after suburb, Amara City Gardens connects residents to some of Perth&#39;s most premium fashion, dining and entertainment destinations.&nbsp;

While the residences boast an impressive design, it is Amara City Garden&rsquo;s location that truly sets it apart.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8266 project_image_fid=84910]

Residents are steps away from Booragoon Bus Station, which links to Bull Creek Train and Bus Interchange, providing quick and easy access to Perth CBD, Murdoch University and the world-class Fiona Stanley Hospital.

On the doorstep of Amara, you&rsquo;ll find health and medical facilities, as well as Leisure Fit Booragoon, the renowned Applecross Senior Highschool, Melville Aquatic Centre and Westfield Booragoon &ndash; which is set for a redevelopment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8266 project_image_fid=164840]

At a cost of $500m, the long-awaited redevelopment will see Booragoon&rsquo;s floor plan go from 72,000 sqm to 109,375 sqm, propelling it from the fifth-biggest centre in WA to the second.

Scentre Group have submitted revised plans to the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage to expand the Booragoon shopping centre, which comes almost two years after former owner AMP Capital&rsquo;s $750 million plan to expand the centre to a Western Australia record of 120,000 sqm was put on hold, when the company sold half of its shares and management rights to Scentre Group.

Subject to WA Planning Commission approvals, the new plan would be completed across two stages, with hopes the first stage would start by the end of the year, set to be complete by 2024.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8266 project_image_fid=158116]

Stage one includes an entertainment and leisure precinct with an expanded Hoyts cinema complex, a range of eaters and a tavern linking through a high street and the City of Melville&rsquo;s administration building, a new boutique supermarket, an expanded Woolworths, a new east-west mall extension, specialty retail shops and rooftop and basement carparks.

Stage two will see an upgraded fashion precinct towards Marmion Street, a relocated and expanded David Jones, southern mall extension, more specialty shops and extended parking.

If the redevelopment goes ahead, Boogaroon&rsquo;s centre will rise past northern suburbs Lakeside Joondalup, Whitford City and the recently-redeveloped Karrinyup, which is an almost identical size at 109,000 sqm.

Designed by award-winning architects Cameron Chisholm Nicol, Amara City Gardens is a collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, finished to the highest-quality with expansive balconies, tall 2.7-metre ceilings, 100 per cent wool carpet to bedrooms and corridors, Smeg appliances, generous storage, central solar hot water system, reconstituted stone bench tops in kitchen, gas cooktops and undercover secured car parking spaces.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=8266]

Not only are residents connected to Perth’s premium fashion, dining and entertainment destination, but they are also situated in the heart of the highly sought-after suburb Booragoon.

Perth has been lauded by industry experts as a strong market to invest in with booming conditions and strong demand.

Perth values are up 6.7 per cent over the year, according to the CoreLogic national home value index for April.

This is higher than the combined capital&#39;s average, which is up 6.4 per cent.

Perth auction clearance rates sat at an impressive 92.3 per cent last week when compared to 37.5 per cent at this time last year, reflecting the strong demand which looks like it may swamp market supply.

Western Australian property prices are expected to grow by 15 per cent this year, according to REIWA’s revised 2021 forecast. 

REIWA President Damian Collins said the Institute was revising its 2021 forecast following the strong price growth experienced in the first three months of 2021.  

“We hit the bottom of the market around June last year following the COVID-19 lockdown and since then consumer confidence has returned," Collins noted.

"Buyers who were waiting for the bottom to hit are now eager to get into the market and take advantage of the record low interest rates.  

"There is also a fundamental imbalance between supply and demand in the sales market right now, with more buyers looking for property than there are houses listed for sale. 

“When you factor all of these components in, it is a perfect storm for higher-than-expected house price growth this year," Collins said.

CoreLogic’s Perth home value index shows prices have grown five per cent in the first three months of 2021. 

Last November 2020 REIWA forecast prices in WA would increase as much as 10 per cent in 2021, however based on the first quarter of 2021, Collins now anticipate growth of 15 per cent by the end of the year. 

The current Perth median house sale price is $495,000, which is down from the peak of $550,000 in 2014.
