Residents at Lendlease’s world-class One Sydney Harbour waterfront development in Barangaroo will soon have access to an exclusive luxury car share service offering electric Porsche vehicles.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/lendlease-development">Lendlease</a> has partnered with transportation solutions provider, Outbound, to launch Porsche’s new fleet of electric vehicles, including the Macan and Taycan, available for residents of the building to hire.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Residents will be able to reserve, pay and access support through the Outbound app, and even lock, unlock and drive the vehicles through their phones.&nbsp;

The new car share service enhances the already exceptional amenities at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/one-sydney-harbour-6-watermans-quay-barangaroo">One Sydney Harbour</a>, which include a 24-hour concierge service, state-of-the-art wellness facilities, indoor and outdoor pools, a private dining room, wine gallery, and residents’ lounge. &nbsp;

This is the second collaboration between Lendlease and Outbound, with the transportation solutions provider offering Tesla EV hire for tenants in nearby commercial building, Salesforce Tower, since 2023.&nbsp;

Located in the heart of Barangaroo, One Sydney Harbour is a landmark residential development by Lendlease, designed by world-renowned architect Renzo Piano. The development consists of three towers.

One Sydney Harbour is now 95 per cent sold, with more than $4 billion in sales across the three towers.

Prices start at $1.68 million for a one-bedroom apartment, $3 million for a two-bedroom, and $5.3 million for a three-bedroom apartment. Most residences have settled across all three towers, and residents have moved in.&nbsp;

Annamese, Haven Coffee and Anita Gelato have opened in the precinct, with more food and beverage and service retailers to come later this year.

Stuart Mendel, Lendlease Executive Director Development NSW/ACT, said surpassing $4 billion in sales is testament to the high calibre of One Sydney Harbour’s residential offering. &nbsp;

“Our commitment to creating luxury experiences for our customers is clear through the range of exclusive amenities, like the Porsche EV car share program,"&nbsp;Mendel said.

“Whether it’s driving a Porsche Macan or Taycan or the easy access to the new Barangaroo metro &nbsp;station, One Sydney Harbour offers the ultimate convenience and connection.”&nbsp;

New electric Porsche car share at One Sydney Harbour

Summary:

<ul>
	<li>New Brisbane Stadium, new National Aquatic Centre, major expansion of Queensland&nbsp;Tennis&nbsp;Centre and a dedicated Para-sport facility just some of the legacy infrastructure for Brisbane.</li>
	<li>The Gabba to be used for cricket in 2032, before being transformed as a vibrant new entertainment and housing precinct, as a lasting legacy of the Games.</li>
	<li>Brisbane Arena Priority Area to be moved to the vacant GoPrint site in Woolloongabba, and delivered by the private sector.</li>
	<li>2032 Delivery Plan sets the plan, now attention turns to delivering it.</li>
</ul>

<hr />
The heart of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be delivered at Victoria Park, with a new world-class Brisbane Stadium to be built as part of a thriving central Games precinct spanning Spring Hill, Bowen Hills and Victoria Park.

The new 63,000 -seat stadium was announced by the Queensland Government as part of the&nbsp;2032 Delivery Plan. The venue will also be where future Brisbane Lions, the Brisbane Heat and the Queensland Bulls teams call home.

Delivering 2032 and Beyond&nbsp;is the outcome of a 100 Day Review, stakeholder consultation and community input, and sets the plan for the Games, which Queensland will now get on with delivering.

Under the Plan, a new National Aquatic&nbsp;Centre will be delivered at the site of the Centenary Pool in Spring Hill, catering to swimming, diving, water polo and artistic swimming.

A major upgrade of the Queensland Tennis&nbsp;Centre will include a new 3000-seat show court arena and 12 new match courts which, in addition to Pat Rafter Arena, will open the doors to even more tournaments for Brisbane.

The Main Arena at the RNA Showgrounds will be upgraded with a 20,000 seat outdoor arena, to give the Queensland&nbsp;Ekka an even brighter future. &nbsp;

The main Athlete Village will also be built at the Bowen Hills precinct, within walking distance of the Brisbane Stadium.

While a Brisbane Arena is no longer required for the Games, the Queensland Government has taken steps today to allow Brisbane Live to be delivered by the private sector, providing the opportunity for the Federal Government’s contribution to be directed toward other essential Games infrastructure.

The Government will move the Brisbane Arena priority site to the vacant&nbsp;GoPrint site in Woolloongabba, paving the way for a permanent legacy in addition to a new housing and entertainment precinct over the Gabba when it is taken down.

This move will secure the future of the East Brisbane State School, ensuring it is not relocated. &nbsp;

Greater Brisbane will benefit from new and upgraded Games infrastructure, including:

<ul>
	<li>New&nbsp;Brisbane Stadium&nbsp;to be delivered at Victoria Park.</li>
	<li>New&nbsp;National Aquatic Centre&nbsp;to be delivered at the site of Centenary Pool in Spring Hill.</li>
	<li>Expanded&nbsp;Queensland Tennis Centre&nbsp;to include a new permanent 3000-seat showcourt and 12 new match courts.</li>
	<li>Transformed&nbsp;RNA Showgrounds&nbsp;with an upgraded Main Arena and Athlete Village, which will be converted to permanent housing after the Games.</li>
	<li>Upgraded&nbsp;Chandler Sport Precinct&nbsp;to include a dedicated Para-sport Facility.</li>
	<li>New&nbsp;Redland Whitewater Centre&nbsp;will be delivered within the future Birkdale Community Precinct.</li>
	<li>Brisbane International Shooting Centre&nbsp;upgraded to increase capacity of the indoor range.</li>
	<li>Logan and Moreton Indoor Sports Centres&nbsp;built to address the growing demand for indoor courts in some of the fastest growing areas of Queensland.</li>
</ul>

Premier David&nbsp;Crisafulli said the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games would be an event Queenslanders could be proud of.

“Brisbane will be&nbsp;centre stage for the greatest show on earth and the benefits will last for decades after the Closing Ceremony,” Premier Crisafulli said.

“With major new venues and upgraded sports facilities, greater Brisbane will have high-performance venues attracting world events beyond 2032.

“A new stadium will allow Queensland to attract sporting and music events and be the new home for&nbsp;AFL and Cricket.

“Delivering 2032 and Beyond&nbsp;is a&nbsp;gamechanger for our State and with this plan we will deliver a Games all Queenslanders can be proud of.”

The new 63,000-seat stadium was announced by the Queensland Government as part of the 2032 Delivery Plan. The venue will also be where future Brisbane Lions, the Brisbane Heat and the Queensland Bulls teams call home.



Let the Games begin: QLD Government reveals 2032 Brisbane Summer Olympic Games plans

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/scotch-hill-gardens-hawthorn-147-robinson-road-hawthorn-vic-3122">Scotch Hill Gardens</a> is a new lifestyle precinct by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/hamton">Hamton Property Group</a>, renewing an underutilised site on Auburn Road, Hawthorn, in Melbourne’s affluent east.

The six-building elevated living precinct resides on a former University of Melbourne campus site in the Scotch Hill catchment area. Located adjacent to the green spine of fields and parklands along Gardiners Creek trail, the site’s hilly aspect benefits from views to established tree canopies, lush gardens, and the city skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327680]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> is behind the masterplanning, architecture, and interior design, while <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/landscape-architect/tract-landscape-architects">Tract</a> is responsible for the landscape design, which will make up 40 percent of the site. Standing between four and eight levels high, the residential pavilions are interspersed within 4,000 meters of public gardens, with landscaping subtly defining boundaries between public and private zones.&nbsp;

Drawing inspiration from nature, the masterplan has been inspired by the organisation of lily pads on a pond – organic formations, discrete but interconnected, sitting lightly in within their context. Employing the principles of the “nature-based cities” guidelines, the site benefits from integrated nature, amenity, wellness and community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327647]

Woods Bagot Director Peter Miglis says the precinct’s formal and material language is inspired by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/hawthorn-vic-3122">Hawthorn</a>’s established residential vernacular, invoking the charm of local character homes with a unique, contemporary inflection.

“The architecture needed to take from the DNA of the surrounding residential homes and translate that to a multi-residential scale,” says Miglis.

“Referencing the authenticity, grandeur and heritage of the Hawthorn home, the architecture should feel familiar, yet elevated, fostering a natural sense of belonging within the neighbourhood.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327652]

As one of Melbourne’s oldest and grandest suburbs, Hawthorn remains a beautifully preserved example of the city’s evolution through the Victorian, Federation and Edwardian periods. Each residential pavilion takes on a unique identity from a composition of varied materials, with some buildings reinterpreting the local Victorian or Edwardian details from rhythmic brickwork to opportune archway moments, others paying homage to the Federation arts-and-crafts homes of the area.

“The Woodburn draws inspiration from the verandahs of the Victorian home ubiquitous in the Hawthorn area,” says Miglis. “The use of vertical columns and fine filigree detailing evokes a classic staple of Victorian Australian design.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327638]

The Tate building, meanwhile, includes a strong brick masonry element, incorporating archway motifs and apertures characteristic of the Edwardian era.

Finally, The Ingleburn’s strong geometric order takes its reference from the Federation arts and crafts style with brick detailing and heavy geometry.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327661]

Woods Bagot interior design leader Cara Gabriel says a cohesive language has been developed between architecture and interiors, incorporating tactile, textured and subdued tones that complement the natural landscape.

“We wanted the apartments to have a sense of quiet luxury, to allow the residents to look outside and appreciate the nature they’re surrounded by,” says Gabriel.

“From an interiors perspective, it’s all about these framed views and their relationship to the outdoors that defines this project.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327643]

Each residence features authentic materials, generous proportions, and a return-to-craft approach, using Victorian and Tasmanian-based makers, from lighting designers to metalworkers and joiners.

“It was important to use a palette that exuded a sense of timelessness over trends,” adds Gabriel. “Colour and texture are expressed through the characteristics of the material itself, such as oak or walnut grain and veined natural stone, rather than an applied texture—it’s an honest materiality approach.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327655]

Belying its generous outlook, the precinct will appear recessive within its native context, consciously contrived to minimise bulk at street interface. Surrounded by a vegetated veil of established trees, the development will be sequestered from street view, adding to a sense of privacy and belonging.

With landscape architecture by Tract, the design team will retain 77 existing mature trees onsite during the development process, planting an additional 151 trees to create a verdant city sanctuary.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327686]

Architects are also retaining and reviving the Serpentine Garden – a meandering brick pathway and molded garden designed by landscape architect Paul Thompson in 1976. In consultation with the original designer, Woods Bagot will celebrate the curvilinear geometry, creating a source of variation and intrigue in the journey into the heart of the site. &nbsp;

Scotch Hill Gardens is the first proposed carbon-neutral development for the City of Boroondara.

Catering to growing families and downsizers alike, the project will address the shortfall of housing supply in the Hawthorn area.

How Woods Bagot and Tract created Scotch Hill Gardens, Hawthorn's new nature-driven community

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/murrumbeena-vic-3163">Murrumbeena</a>, in Melbourne's southeast, is known for its wide, leafy streets, lined with Federation-era homes.

Hughesdale Village serves as the heart of both Murrumbeena and Hughesdale, with an array of shops, cafes, and Hughesdale Station.

What has been missing in the area is a new apartment development, which is what prompted joint venture partners&nbsp;Progressio and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/damgar-group">Damgar Property Group</a> to explore the opportunities available as close as possible to the village.

They secured a prime site at 50 Rosella Street, on the corner of Poath Road, just a stone's throw from the station and the Hellenic Depot, the popular Greek restaurant and bar. They commissioned Cera Stribley to design&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/rosella-murrumbeena-50-rosella-street-murrumbeena">Rosella</a>,&nbsp;70 one, two and three-bedroom apartments when completed later this year.

Cera Stribley was inspired by the adjacent Hughesdale Station when designing Rosella. The seven-level building&nbsp;features a façade of rough-cast concrete, dark terrazzo, and warm copper accents, reflecting the architectural character of the Hughesdale Station underpasses.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142221 project_image_fid=288651]

Each apartment has been designed to maximise natural light and livability, featuring large balconies and terraces that provide excellent outdoor entertaining space

Inside, the apartments start at over 60 sqm for the one-bedroom units. Every apartment comes with at least one car space and is equipped with integrated Miele appliances and stone benchtops in the kitchens.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142221 project_image_fid=288652]

Rosella residents will be spoiled for choice with Murrumbeena Village just moments away, along with six new retail tenancies on the ground level. These are expected to include a variety of restaurants, cafes, and wine bars.

The location is exceptionally well-connected, with Rosella residents just 20 minutes from the CBD by train, direct from Hughesdale Station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142221 project_image_fid=288658]

Murrumbeena Park and its playground, as well as a variety of dining options like Murrumbeena Wine Bar, are all within a 10-minute walk.

Chadstone Shopping Centre, the largest indoor shopping centre in Australia, is just one kilometre up Poath Road. Known as 'Chaddy', the retail precinct boasts over 550 stores, around 100 restaurants and cafes, a fresh food market, and a full entertainment quarter featuring escape rooms, dodgems, mini-golf, a cinema, and bowling.

Rosella is progressing well with construction and is expected to be completed before the end of the year.

Rosella's prime location in Hughesdale Village

The first stage of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/willoughby-grounds-5-walter-street-willoughby">Willoughby Grounds</a>, the Lower North Shore development by joint venture partners First Quadrant Properties and Qualtias, is approaching completion.

Two of the five buildings that make up the mini masterplan will welcome residents in the coming months. The majority of purchasers of the one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments have been families and downsizers, given the large floorplans on offer.

A key attraction for families is the dedicated children’s playground within the common area, fostering a community atmosphere where neighbours can connect while children have a safe space to play.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135512 project_image_fid=327778]

“When designing Willoughby Grounds, we wanted to create a place that enhances both liveability and community,” says Adam Reeves, Director of Sales and Marketing at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/first-quadrant-properties">First Quadrant Properties</a>.

“The inclusion of larger residences and shared green spaces makes this an attractive option for families who want the best of both worlds – more space and an outstanding location.”

Comprising five distinct buildings, each with its own architectural identity, Willoughby Grounds draws inspiration from the area’s industrial past. The first stage, featuring apartments in the Halstrom and Fleming buildings, reflects <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/willoughby-nsw-2068">Willoughby</a>’s 19th-century tanneries, a nod to the suburb’s rich heritage.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135512 project_image_fid=327779]

“People want to feel connected to their community, and this development is designed to foster that sense of belonging,”&nbsp; Reeves added.

“Unlike high-rise developments, Willoughby Grounds offers a more intimate living experience, with most apartments designed to maximise natural light and ventilation.”

The project’s location provides easy access to local parks, gyms, cafes, and shopping precincts, including High Street Shopping Village, Northbridge Plaza, and Crows Nest Village. It is also well connected to transport links, with the Metro Train Station and city bus services nearby.

“The kids’ playground and the spacious layouts will be a real drawcard for families looking for an alternative to standalone homes in the area,” says Tim Abbott, Director of Projects and Developments at Ray White.

“With so many amenities nearby and lower strata fees, Willoughby Grounds offers both practicality and lifestyle benefits.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135512 project_image_fid=251211]

Designed by Mo Chehelbani from <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/architecture-urbaneia">Architecture Urbaneia</a>, with interiors by acclaimed architects and interior designers DKO, the residences integrate multi-layered architecture with lush green spaces. The use of face brickwork, metal cladding, and concrete framing harmonises with the landscape, enhanced by jacaranda trees that are synonymous with the lower North Shore.

The project is being constructed by DASCO, one of the highest-rated builders in NSW with a 4.5 Gold Star iCIRT Rating.

The second stage, comprising the Lawson’ and Walter buildings, will be completed in late 2025. Registrations of interest for the two new buildings are now being taken.
