Osprey, Safety Beach - 15 Martha Cove Boulevard, Safety Beach

Alamer Brighton - 2 Black Street, Brighton

The Mornington Peninsula has long been a prime spot for those spending their weekends outside of Melbourne.

The area is dominated by large acreages, with the region having just over 3,000 apartments—less than three per cent of the 145,000 dwellings in the Mornington Peninsula, according to 2021 Census data.

One small coastal pocket, located between Dromana and Mount Martha, is <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/safety-beach-vic-3936">Safety Beach</a>, a tight-knit community with just over 6,000 residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138447 project_image_fid=290733]

A new community that has gained popularity in recent years is Martha Cove, an established precinct offering a rare opportunity to live harborside in Melbourne—a lifestyle that is seldom available.

Martha Cove somewhat addresses the lack of apartments in the Mornington Peninsula.

Renowned construction firm Figurehead identified Martha Cove as a prime location for development. While they’ve built several projects in the area, they’ve just completed their own development through their development company,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/aperture-projects">Aperture Projects</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138447 project_image_fid=290744]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/osprey-safety-beach-15-martha-cove-boulevard-safety-beach">Osprey Safety Beach</a> is located in one of the best spots in Martha Cove—just 150 metres from the water and Martha's Table, one of the most popular dining spots in the entire Mornington Peninsula. More than just a restaurant, the venue also features a bar, cafe, adjoining grocery store, and a cellar door showcasing local farmers, producers, and wineries.

Osprey, consisting of just 18 two- and three-bedroom apartments starting from well under $800,000, is attracting city dwellers looking for a weekender as well as local downsizers who previously struggled to find smaller options locally.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138447 project_image_fid=290625]

While primarily offering a harborside lifestyle, Osprey is located just seven minutes drive from the sand at Safety Beach and only eight minutes from Mount Martha Public Park. With views over Port Phillip Bay and Arthur's Seat, the 53-hectare park offers extensive walking trails connecting the picnic area to the summit and viewing tower.

Osprey apartments are now complete and ready to move in.

Inside Figurehead’s Osprey in Safety Beach: Urban’s completed apartment tour

Local downsizers and those seeking a low-maintenance weekender on the Mornington Peninsula are showing the greatest interest in the recently completed Safety Beach apartment development, Osprey.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/osprey-safety-beach-15-martha-cove-boulevard-safety-beach">Osprey Safety Beach</a>, which won the national award for&nbsp;Small Scale Development of the Year at the 2024 Urban Developer Awards, comprises just 18 two and three-bedroom apartments, and are as competitively priced as any new apartment in the burgeoning community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138447 project_image_fid=290740]

Osprey has been developed and built by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/figurehead">Figurehead</a>, a construction firm that was the builder behind several new buildings in the Martha's Cove masterplan which was approved eight years ago.

Since then several new developments have been completed, and so has significant amenity, the most notable being Martha's Table, one of the Mornington Peninsula's most popular venues and the heart of the local community.

The Mediterranean restaurant, led by head chef Adam Beckett, doubles up as Arthur's Bar, a grocer, and a wine bar.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138447 project_image_fid=290733]

&nbsp;

Projects by Buxton Director Heath Thompson, who has just taken over the sales at Osprey, is already seeing demand from several buyer camps.

"Where <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/safety-beach-vic-3936">Osprey is located</a> and the configurations it has on offer, it can suit several uses, which is attracting several different buyer types," Thompson says.

"Local downsizers who either live in the immediate area, or those who have large landholdings in some more remote areas of the Mornington Peninsula who want to be closer to the water, have been the most active buyers so far.

"Then there's those from Melbourne who want a lock up and leave, low-maintenance weekender that they can use themselves or lease as a holiday let when not in use."

Thompson says the location lends itself to boat enthusiasts.

"It's just an hour from Melbourne, and the positioning of Osprey means you're only 150 metres from the marina where you can dock your boat."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138447 project_image_fid=290744]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/wolveridge-architects">Wolveridge Architects</a>, known for their Peninsula beach home designs, handled the architecture at Osprey. They focused on creating a striking facade with several curves that inform the living space, capturing views of the marina from the internal living area and the balcony.

The apartments are characterised by their generous natural light and air circulation, facilitated by a unique 'lightwell breezeway' entry for each home that promotes natural cross ventilation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138447 project_image_fid=290625]

&nbsp;

The interior design of Osprey apartments is inspired by coastal living, featuring a warm and restrained palette.&nbsp;Light cream tones replace stark white finishes, while materials like cover batten wall linings, hardwood timber accents, and pale green hues evoke the external elements of a beach home.&nbsp;

The modern kitchens in Osprey are equipped with Fisher and Paykel appliances, undermount sinks and porcelain benchtops.

Osprey apartments are ready to move in, and are priced from $795,000.

Osprey Safety Beach: The award-winning apartments catching the eye of Mornington Peninsula buyers

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/gurner">GURNER™</a> has revealed that each of its six ultra-luxury mansions at the $35 million Huntingtower Place on the sough-after Huntingtower Road in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/armadale-vic">Armadale</a> – which were inspired by the spectacular homes of Los Angeles – have now sold out after just six weeks on the market.&nbsp;

The six bespoke homes are currently under construction by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/krongold-constructions">Krongold Construction</a> and are due for completion in 2025, designed by sustainable design practice <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/wolveridge-architects">Wolveridge Architects</a>, complete with landscape design by Myles Baldwyn. &nbsp;

The buyer pool was largely downsizers from nearby suburbs like <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/malvern-vic">Malvern</a>, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/toorak-vic">Toorak</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/south-yarra-vic">South Yarra</a>, which have historically been starved of opportunities for top-end low-maintenance residences scaled for families in Armadale’s tightly held residential market.&nbsp;

In keeping with GURNER™’s sustainability ethos, each Huntingtower Place residence will be built with water harvesting, solar power generation, and double-glazed windows and door systems, all culminating in carbon-neutral homes.&nbsp;

Huntingtower Place’s palatial residences offer access to GURNER™ Design House, which works with buyers one-on-one to customise every aspect of their home. This allowed for inclusions like bespoke wine showcases, extensive home offices, private gym and wellness hubs and dedicated private wings for guests or returning children.&nbsp;

GURNER™ Boutique team will now turn its sights to key areas in Queensland and Victoria.

Brooke Formosa,&nbsp;GURNER™ Head of Boutique, said&nbsp;Huntingtower Road is one of the most sought-after and exclusive streets in Melbourne.

"We’re proud to be delivering such a high-quality product that will embody the most luxurious homes of Los &nbsp;Angeles while celebrating the character of Armadale," Formosa said.&nbsp;

“Buyers really don’t get opportunities like these in Armadale – the chance to work with a world-class architect to design your dream home in one of the nicest parts of Melbourne is extremely rare, and that definitely inspired our buyers to act quickly.

“The basis of everything we do is design – we build our towers, residences and boutique homes to be architecturally timeless and homely and to push the boundaries of what’s possible, and we love working one-on-one with buyers who share that passion."

Formosa said the aim is&nbsp;to deliver six to eight boutique projects per year in their boutique division.

"We have an incredible network of existing buyers who are showing a strong appetite for the product, so we know the luxury market is active.&nbsp;

“Being able to work so closely with Simon our Head of Interior Design and our Design House team is a rare opportunity, and allows for buyers to design the home they’ve always dreamt of in one of the most discerning parts of Melbourne.&nbsp;

“We offer a very unique customisation process to our buyers, where they really get to design the entire home hand-in-hand with a world-class team that has delivered many high-end residences."

GURNER sells out $35 million Armadale mansions in Boutique collection

National developer&nbsp;GURNER™ has continued its push into luxury home builds, unveiling five ultra-luxury mega mansions inspired by mansions found in Los Angeles.

GURNER™, headed by Tim Gurner, is working with a select group of buyers to fully customise their homes.

The $35 million Huntingtower Place – located on Aramdale's dress circle Huntingtower Road, is the next evolution of&nbsp;GURNER™, which initially created some of the country's most striking apartment developments, and has expanded into luxury hotels, wellness clubs, the build to rent market, and now high-end, freestanding houses.

<img alt="Gurner" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="58afce57-7967-42ac-b750-39bd26397a57" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20%283%29.jpg?VersionId=bwg5fXDb_NgdtmPd0sLjNrOVcDAqmEI3" />

Huntingtower Place has been designed in collaboration between&nbsp;GURNER™ Design House and Wolveridge Architects. They feature&nbsp;softer tones, natural colours and an abundance of natural light, with seamless links between indoor and outdoor.

The crown jewel of the soon-to-launch boutique project is The Mansion, a four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom, no-expenses-spared 1000 sqm plus residence, with an asking price around $14.5 million to $15.5 million, a price range dependent on inclusions.

It features six metre-high windows and ceilings, north-facing, which&nbsp;open up the views of the wraparound Los Angeles-inspired greenery and outdoor entertainment area.

The Mansion will feature a glass-encased sunken pool which will be viewable from the private wellness gym designed by the team behind GURNER's Collingwood wellness centre, Saint Haven. Outside will also feature a private chipping and putting green.

<img alt="Gurner" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f41b3c19-0b09-4fc7-bdfc-fc8c8d232506" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-08-24%20at%209.02.25%20am.png?VersionId=KKp2duIxYJs8Sph0lU8Y9rf.pPM3VnMr" />

Inside there's a private bar and library area, executive study and retreat, and a 150 sqm master bedroom with a&nbsp;private living space with fireplace, large custom wardrobe,&nbsp;a double shower and bath, and an outdoor private spa and shower.

GURNER™ Design House is led by design director Simon Brugaletta, who brings nearly two decades of experience to the team, and who has worked internationally for practices in Milan, Malta and Hangzhou, China.

The custom builds began as a passion project for founder and CEO Tim Gurner, who&nbsp;retains a hands on engagement in the design and delivery of each boutique home.

“The Mansion at Huntingtower Place has been a dream of mine for a long time – the inspiration struck when I saw an incredible home in Los Angeles many years ago, and wanted to take it even further," Gurner says.

“It’s a very unique opportunity for buyers – they can be involved with the enjoyable part, designing their home, then leave the delivery to us. Anyone who has built their own home knows how difficult the process is, so our buyers get to do all the fun parts then leave the rest to our team.

“We have then used that inspiration to take these homes to another level, with five north-facing residences that capture the essence of a mansion at a slightly smaller scale."

Gurner says&nbsp;The Mansion has been designed to be Melbourne’s best custom home, offering everything a mega mansion would offer but in a more useable and realistic size and price point for the market.

&nbsp;

<img alt="Gurner" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ebfb1867-31c0-4382-a66f-4a16f68d0cdf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-08-24%20at%209.02.31%20am.png?VersionId=8032RHkp.bOXdSJcme8Mdi7TRs.iRD4z" />

“After creating a few dream homes for friends and family, I was motivated to bring this unique design perspective and level of luxury to GURNER™ projects. I look forward to exploring my passion for luxury homes and design whilst delivering something truly special to Huntingtower Road."

The boutique project is slated to launch in September, with the group aiming to deliver around six to eight boutique developments per year. Two of the homes in Huntingtower Place have already sold to existing&nbsp;GURNER™ client

GURNER™ releases $35 million LA-inspired Armadale mansion collection, Huntingtower Place

<html><body>
GURNER has submitted plans for a boutique luxury wellness, hotel and private residence retreat in Port Douglas to be called The Creation Hotel and Residences.

Situated on 2833sqm of beachfront land, the site will encompass one of the last developable blocks on the main strip, offering direct beach access to Four Mile Beach.

The site was acquired off-market earlier this year from the longtime venture capitalist Roger Allen, who'd own the site since 1985.

Allen, who launched the first email service in Australia in the early 1980s, ran the venture capital firm Allen &amp; Buckeridge.

The proposed retreat will encompass a holistic wellness experience - complete with a residents/guest spa, sauna, pool and treatment rooms, high-end food and beverage offerings as well as 16-ultra-luxury private residences and a further 18 boutique hotel rooms.

It was designed in collaboration with architectural kingpins Powell and Glenn and Wolveridge Architects, with Myles Baldwin handling the tropical landscaping.

<img alt="" height="1125" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/gurner_port_douglas_2.jpg" width="2000">

GURNERTM founder and director Tim Gurner confirmed the developer’s intentions to sell the ultra-luxury private residences but retain ownership of the boutique retreat, spa and public food and beverage offering as part of its multi-billion-dollar diversification strategy.

“Port Douglas has been an incredibly important part of our family’s life over the past 15 years and is without doubt our favourite destination to visit in Australia," Gurner says.

"We want to give back to this amazing town and create something that does not currently exist.

“It has been inspiring watching my wife Aimee, Ed Glenn, Jerry and Myles put together this incredible creation into something I know people will fall in love with."

“When you look at what Antony Catalano has been able to do with Rae’s in Byron Bay offering something truly special and unique, and what The Oatleys have done with Qualia on Hamilton island, they are without question a big inspiration for what we are doing.

<img alt="" height="1125" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/gurner_3.jpg" width="2000">

“We want to ensure that Far North Queensland has a similar offering at that level for Australians and internationals visiting the reef and the wider region.

“We will not be doing any of this by halves; people can expect it to be something truly special when it is complete – private, luxurious, homely and welcoming at every point.

“We have been incredibly fortunate over the past seven years to have built a defining portfolio of luxury residential projects along the eastern seaboard of Australia and now we want to take this philosophy and evolve it into something that extends the lifestyle offering through boutique hotels,” Gurner said.

“Now, this project marks the beginning of a new chapter for the brand as we significantly expand our portfolio across a number of complementary sectors.

“We are exploring a number of new asset classes across tourism, wellness, accommodation and food and beverage – these next few years will be all about pushing the boundaries of our portfolio and recreating the luxury experience we provide to our apartment residents, at a much larger scale.

“We are very keen to work collaboratively with the Douglas Shire Council and deliver something that will become high-end showpiece for the area."

Since publication Gurner has advised the project will not be called The Creation.
