Developer Auriton has secured planning approval for a $100 million mixed-use development project in Melbourne's southeast.

Auriton expect working professionals, investors, retirees, students, and those in the medical field to be the most likely demographics for purchasers of the 144 one, two and three-bedroom apartments in the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>-designed building at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/409-clayton-road-clayton">409 Clayton Road</a>.

The Monash City Council granted planning permission for the 11,000 sqm Clayton site, marking a significant milestone for the developer after previously proposed plans faced hurdles.

The initial 17-level proposal was refused by both the council and the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) based on community objections, with the council imposing 47 conditions upon approval, aimed at balancing community needs with urban progress.

The development will replace an existing building and petrol station on the site.

The&nbsp;project will encompass a 12-level, part 17-level tower comprising 144 apartments divided into 87 two-bedroom units, 49 one-bedroom units, and eight three-bedroom units.&nbsp;

<img alt="Clayton" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1d925c34-9c5d-46f4-87e3-9c254cab493f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-03-14%20at%2011.11.01%20am.png?VersionId=BL1Df8yfqUbjZV8khTtf790IQxBRPaPq" />

Cera Stribley said in its planning documentation submitted to the City of Monash that the design begins with the missed opportunities of the previous scheme.

"Where context was previously ignored, history and geography are thoroughly interogated and embedded into the form.

"Curves are brought in and edges are softened and modularity is introduced to provide depth and articulation. Drawing from the geographical context of Melbourne's 20 million year-old Sandbelt, a building that was previously devoid of context is now formed directly from its natural surroundings.

"Overtime, this sandy substrate has been moulded into the bunkers, fairways and rolling hills of the wider region's golf courses, and now it forms a new offering to the Clayton community. Its soft, delicate forms contrast with the cool, smooth surfaces of the glazing behind, while the integration of soft landscaping into the modular terrace design introduces another layer of texture across the facade."

The development will also house office and retail tenancies, communal spaces, a pool, and various amenities, as well as&nbsp;two social housing apartments.

The 16,055 sqm of floor space will be supported by 147 car parking spaces and 121 bicycle storage spaces.

Construction is set to commence soon, with completion slated for 2027.

Auriton win approval for Cera Stribley-designed apartment development in Clayton

Rivea, the first tower in the Gold Coast by the Melbourne-based developer Auriton Group, has been designed by national architecture firm Rothelowman to incorporate the prime waterfront site it sits on.

The infinity pool, one of a number of resort-style amenities in the project of 102 apartments, has been positioned to almost float over the Nerang River.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100371 project_image_fid=194521]

The leisure and wellness facilities continue within the 30-level tower. There's a well-equipped gym and yoga studio with panoramic ocean views, as well as a sauna. There's surfboard lock-up, and a private residents' boat pontoon.

The apartments have been designed to embrace corner aspects, allowing residents to capture ever changing postcard views of the ocean, river, and hinterland, with the project offering a range of&nbsp;living options to suit various buyers and budgets.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100371 project_image_fid=194520]

The well-appointed two-bedroom apartments are perfect for young professionals seeking a prestigious address with resort-style facilities, while the spacious three-bedroom residences cater to upgraders or downsizers.

For those desiring extra space, two luxurious three-bedroom plus study sub-penthouses are available, featuring entertainer's kitchens with butler's pantries and unparalleled views.

There's also an exclusive four-bedroom plus study penthouse awaits, offering 360-degree panoramas and an exclusive river pontoon.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100371 project_image_fid=194515]

Rivea also understands the importance of resident peace of mind and offers on-site management, with the secure building designed for low-maintenance owner-occupier enjoyment.

Rivea is located&nbsp;between the vibrant Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach and offers residents easy access to world-famous patrolled beaches and the convenient G: Link light rail.

Rivea: The Rothelowman-designed tower in the heart of Surfers Paradise

Auriton Group are hoping to do as well as their fellow Melbourne-based property developers as they launch their first apartment tower in the Gold Coast.

The development firm, who are behind a mix of boutique and high density projects across&nbsp;Melbourne, has just launched Rivea, which will home 108 apartments across its 30-level, Rothelowman-designed tower.

Rothelowman&nbsp;describe the tower as a &quot;vertical community.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100371 project_image_fid=194516]

The design incorporates just four apartments per floor for the most part, with 14 sqm balconies located on each corner of the building.

The layout favours liveability over style, which&nbsp;Rothelowman&nbsp;says is a local approach to coastal living.

&quot;The scheme focuses on enhancing the urban realm in an area somewhat burdened by the intensity of city scaled infrastructure (a highway, light rail overlay etc),&quot; Rothelowman noted in their submission to the Gold Coast City Council.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100371 project_image_fid=194520]

&quot;It does this by focusing on humanising the ground-plane through a generous and considered street building approach layered in domestically scaled detailing, landscape integration and materiality.

The cross-ventilated, breathable building will feature a mid-rise garden with gym, office space, formal dining room or board room.

The ground level, beside the lobby, will be a swimming pool with day beds and outdoor lounge area facing the Nerang River.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100371 project_image_fid=194521]

Melbourne developers have had huge success recently in the Gold Coast.

Hirsch &amp; Faigen are on to their third project, having sold out The Hemingway in Palm Beach as their debut project in 2021. There&#39;s just a few apartments left in their luxury Kirra Beach development, The Emerson, and they&#39;ve recently quickly sold half of the apartments in the triple-tower, Mermaid Beach project, Yves.

Little Projects have been around the Gold Coast a little longer, successfully selling out Signature at Broadbeach and securing a number of buyers at the luxury Broadbeach owner-occupier tower, Aperture.

Central Equity are seeing strong demand at their Surfers Paradise project, Pacific One, a high density tower of 359, while Jinding are quickly approaching a sell-out of their Surfers tower, Sora.

Secluded in the sky: The interiors inside Melbourne’s newest thin-scraper, The Peak

The Peak is the latest Melbourne CBD development from the property developing Auriton Group.

The $102 million building, rising 140 metres above La Trobe Street, has been a landmark addition to the city skyline since its completion in mid-2020 due top its strikingly thin design.

The Peak homes 177 apartments across its 43 levels, with just four apartments per floor, resulting in each apartment having a corner aspect.

Urban has taken a look at five reasons why The Peak should be on a buyer&#39;s shortlist.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2905 project_image_fid=162748]

1. The Location

The Peak is located at 141 La Trobe Street, on the quieter north-eastern side of Melbourne just off Carlton Gardens.

Within short walking distance of The Peak is the State Library Victoria, one of Melbourne&#39;s most impress heritage-listed buildings.

The transport options&nbsp;are immediate, with bus and tram stops located at the foot of the building.

2. The Value Proposition

The Peak has been reasonably priced given its location and apartment prices of surrounding apartment developments.

Nearby developments are selling between 20 per cent and 40 per cent higher than The Peak.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2905 project_image_fid=162746]

The Peak is also located just off Spring Street, one of Melbourne&#39;s premier apartment addresses.

3. The Stamp Duty Savings

The Victorian Government announced in the budget that all apartments&nbsp;within the City of Melbourne that had been built for 12 months or longer would see $0 stamp duty paid by buyers.

The concession only applies&nbsp;for apartments under $1 million.

The Peak just falls in to the category, having finished construction just over 12 months ago. The most expensive apartments remaining in The Peak are the two bedrooms which max out at $767,000 for the biggest floorplates.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=2905 project_image_fid=163853]

4. The Architecture

The Peak was designed by the national architecture firm&nbsp;Plus Architecture.

&quot;The design focus was to create the highest quality of luxury apartment living with an engaging eastern fa&ccedil;ade providing uninterrupted views to Carlton Gardens and beyond,&quot; Plus Architecture advise.

&quot;The Peak is located at the very heart of Melbourne and forms a dramatic pinnacle within the urban fabric of the city.

&quot;The striking eastern fa&ccedil;ade, comprising triangular forms and abstract shapes, creates a signature building in this part of town.

&quot;With its striking jagged peak towering above, the edge to the glass tower forms a sharp triangular point, framing views over the city skyline and Carlton Gardens beyond.&quot;

5. The Investment Potential

Since The Peak has been completed, and despite the raft of COVID-19 induced lockdowns, landlords have continued to see a solid take-up in the apartments held by investors.

There&#39;s currently long terms tenants in The Peak, as well as short-term, those who are seeking to stay in the Carlton Gardens location for a slice of the price as surrounding developments.

The pool of owner-occupiers and tenants tend to be the young professional demographic, who want to stay away from Melbourne&#39;s busier areas but still want to be within walking distance to the action.

Auriton are also offering a rental guarantee for investor purchasers.

The Peak homes 177 apartments across its 43 levels, with just four apartments per floor, resulting in each apartment having a corner aspect

Five reasons The Peak in Melbourne should be on a buyer's shortlist

Property buyers keen on buying an apartment&nbsp;in the City of Melbourne were given a shot in the arm at the Victorian Budget last month.

Prospective buyers seeking established apartments in the CBD&nbsp;which have been completed for over 12 months&nbsp;will face no stamp duty on their purchases, as long as the purchase price is under $1 million.

Apartment sales at that price could save buyers up to $55,000 in stamp duty.

The news has been particularly welcomed by first home buyers, who so far this year have seen the&nbsp;HomeBuilder grant expire which had been driving a lot of demand to buy new property.

At the end of June, first home buyers will also see the 50 per cent stamp duty waivers for new property under $1 million expire, as well as the 25 per cent discount of stamp duty for new homes.

Urban have put together the best four best&nbsp;CBD apartment towers which offer the stamp duty.&nbsp;

The best Melbourne CBD apartments for sale with no stamp duty

The primarily Melbourne-based developer Auriton are set for their first residential apartment tower in Queensland.

They snapped up a prime 1,095&nbsp;sqm development site at 2932-2934 Gold Coast Highway in late March&nbsp;and have just lodged plans to the City of Gold Coast council for Rivea, an $80 million tower&nbsp;with 108 apartments.

It has been designed by the renowned architecture firm Rothelowman, who are calling the 30-level tower&nbsp;a vertical community.&nbsp;The design incorporates just four apartments per floor for the most part, with 14 sqm balconies located on each corner of the building.

<img alt="" height="685" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/auriton_high_tower_2.jpg" width="1200" />

The layout favours liveability over style, which Rothelowman says is a local approach to coastal living.

The cross ventilated breathable building will feature a mid-rise garden with gym, office space, formal dining room or board room. The ground level, beside the lobby, will be a swimming pool with day beds and outdoor lounge area facing the Nerang River.

Crowning the building will be a 29th level, four bedroom penthouse with its own home office and a multi purpose room.

Auriton are targeting everyone from local buyers to international investors, retirees and holiday home buyers.

Construction is expected&nbsp;to commence in early 2023, with completion slated for mid 2024.

The Design Statement by Rothelowman

2934 Gold Coast Hwy provides an opportunity to craft a unique residential tower development that capitalises on its locality and context. Located at the pinch-point between the Nerang River and the Pacific Ocean the site is afforded a number of quintessentially Gold Coast attributes that the design seeks to enhance and exploit. The &ldquo;east-west&rdquo; focus of the City is a natural consequence of its linearity (the bias of the linear city as opposed to the concentric city). The subject site capitalises on its orientation to enhance this &ldquo;eastwest&rdquo; concept through view focus (mountain range and ocean), site movement linking beach to river and tower form symmetry and arrangement.

<img alt="" height="960" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/auriton_3.jpg" width="760" />

The scheme focuses on enhancing the urban realm in an area somewhat burdened by the intensity of city scaled infrastructure (a highway, light rail overlay etc). It does this by focusing on humanising the ground-plane through a generous and considered street building approach layered in domestically scaled detailing, landscape integration and materiality.

The design offers up an open, permeable and generous forecourt to the street in a manner that seeks to improve the pedestrian experience of the area. This unique (yet modest) approach to contributing to the city at the street level is fundamental to creating a relaxed walkable and &lsquo;people centric&rsquo; development. Combining with the ground the tower form is expressed at the city scale as an elegant, elemental and layered series of facades that favour liveability and domestic performance over random form making. The design seeks to be explicit in its response to the local environment through extended eaves for shading, operability of glazing and the activation and treatment of all facades (a &ldquo;building in the round&rdquo;).

Accents and focus are dedicated to the communal areas of the tower which occur at the ground, centre and crown. These landscaped spaces offer relief in the elevation of the building ensuring visual cues to the subtropical approach of the design. 2934 Gold Coast Hwy provides for a positive, contextually driven, domestic addition to the skyline of Surfers Paradise. A liveable, elegant and confident architecture that favours the local over the generic.&nbsp;
