Hampton's High Street offers the best of both worlds; halfway between Hampton Beach and Hampton Station, with a myriad of cafes and shops on its doorstep.

It was this unbeatable combination of convenience and connectivity that attracted Nash Project Management to secure a prime site on the corner of Hampton and Holyrood Streets several years ago.

The result is <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/holyrood-hampton-451-461-hampton-street-hampton-vic-3188">Holyrood &amp; Hampton</a>, a newly completed residential development comprising 59 premium apartments set above a full-line Coles supermarket, enhancing the day-to-day ease for residents.

Those who have already moved into Holyrood &amp; Hampton have highlighted several standout features of their new home, with the location topping the list.

Hampton Station on the Sandringham line (Zone 2), is just down Hampton Street, offering regular services to Flinders Street Station. Multiple bus routes connect to Southland, St Kilda, and Berwick, while scenic cycling paths along the bay provide a relaxing alternative for commuters and weekend riders.

A short walk west leads to Picnic Point and Hampton Beach, beloved for its clean sand and family- and dog-friendly spaces. Ferdinando Gardens, near the pier, is perfect for picnics, while coastal walking trails offer peaceful views and breezes.

The surrounding green spaces—Castlefield Reserve, Triangle Gardens, and Hampton High Reserve—offer playgrounds, sports fields, and a sense of calm. Golfers have several options nearby, including Brighton Public Golf Course just a short drive away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4629 project_image_fid=1529]

Hampton Street remains the heart of the community, with more than 50 fashion boutiques, cafés, and eateries. A Woolworths anchors the retail strip, while independent shops help maintain its village charm.

Health and community services are easily accessible, with local GPs, dental clinics, and the nearby Sandringham Community Hospital, supported by larger hospitals in Brighton and Cheltenham.

Families are well catered to, with top private and public schools within a 1–2 km radius. These include Haileybury College, St Leonards College, Firbank Grammar, Brighton Grammar, Hampton Primary, and Brighton Secondary College.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4629 project_image_fid=1529]

The apartments have been designed for longevity, with spacious, home-like layouts. Many include butler’s pantries, oversized kitchen islands, and quality finishes.

Additional features such as a rooftop terrace, EV charging, secure storage, and direct supermarket access support a highly functional and low-maintenance lifestyle.

Designed by Telha Clarke, Holyrood &amp; Hampton reflects how people want to live today—connected, walkable, and move-in ready.

Holyrood & Hampton presents a walkable, Bayside lifestyle in the heart of Hampton

Developer Keylin is putting its mark on the booming Spring Hill property market, one of the strongest markets in Queensland which is being driven by the announcement that the heart of the Brisbane 2032 Summer Olympics will be developed in the small northern Brisbane suburb.

Well-regarded in the development industry, with several completed and planned projects across Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Keylin has just launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/oria-spring-hill-447-gregory-terrace-spring-hill-qld-4000">Oria Spring Hill</a>, a collection of 132 residences across 15 levels in an elevated position on Gregory Terrace, directly opposite Victoria Park, the future site of the Games.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109146 project_image_fid=1014]

<h3 data-end="628" data-start="610">The Apartments</h3>

The two, three, and four-bedroom apartments feature an Art Deco-inspired design, with curved stone kitchen islands, brass textures, and bold interior colours and patterns. Durable mineral stone benchtops come as standard, while the skyhomes feature natural stone.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109146 project_image_fid=1078]

There are two colour schemes available for buyers to choose from: the bold Victoria scheme, or the more neutral Gregory scheme.

Each apartment offers open-plan living and dining areas, as well as a large, covered balcony to embrace Brisbane's subtropical lifestyle. The living spaces are designed with full-height glazing to maximize views over Victoria Park and the Brisbane CBD.

<h3 data-end="1305" data-start="1288">The Amenities</h3>

Leaning into its Olympic location, Keylin is introducing unique amenities that cater to changing lifestyle requirements.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109146 project_image_fid=1018]

Much like the shift developers made during the pandemic to include study nooks and multi-purpose rooms in response to the work-from-home trend, Keylin has responded to the growing popularity of pickleball. Oria will feature a proposed private pickleball court as part of its facilities, one of the first courts in a new residential development across the country.

Pickleball participation has surged in Australia from 2023 to 2024. In 2023, Pickleball Australia Association (PAA) had over 7,300 members, with an estimated 25,000 casual players nationwide. By 2024, PAA membership had grown to 15,166, with nearly 93,000 participants across the country.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109146 project_image_fid=1031]

In addition to the proposed pickleball court, Oria will offer a range of proposed amenities within its rooftop pool and terrace level, including a cinema, music and games room, private dining spaces, and a gym with a steam room, sauna, and yoga space, as well as an off-leash dog area.

<h3 data-end="2353" data-start="2337">The Location</h3>

Keylin understood the prime value of this location long before the announcement that Victoria Park would be the heart of the 2032 Summer Olympics.

The address at 447 Gregory Terrace provides residents with easy access to major transport links, universities, and hospitals.

Of course, the future growth of the area will be anchored by Victoria Park, the 64-hectare green space just across the road. The park will be transformed with the construction of a 63,000-seat stadium, which, after the Olympics, will become home to the Brisbane Lions, Brisbane Heat, and Queensland Bulls.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109146 project_image_fid=1023]

Just 200 meters from Oria, the new National Aquatic Centre will replace the former Centenary Pool.

Additionally, the nearby RNA Showgrounds, just 700 meters away, will undergo an upgrade to include a 20,000-seat outdoor arena.

Keylin has already commenced construction on Oria, which is being delivered by builder CoStruct.

Brisbane developer Zen Group has received development approval for its dual-tower apartment project in West End.

The approved plans for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/24-duncan-street-west-end-qld-4101">24 Duncan Street</a>&nbsp;are for&nbsp;two 17-storey towers comprising 202 apartments, ranging from one-bedroom plus study configurations through to three-bedrooms.&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bettspartners">Betts + Partners</a>, the development is grounded in a climate-responsive and contextually sensitive approach, aiming to reinforce the emerging identity of the West End Riverside South precinct.

<img alt="West End set for climate-responsive apartments" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Duncan%20Street.png?VersionId=.A9VkekWac99LJ7L8mqewo7AAsg4Vwb_" />

“The contextual design strategy is to celebrate the qualities found within the established <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/west-end-qld-4101">West End</a> suburban character,” Betts + Partners noted in the Architectural Design Report, “providing elevated high-quality subtropical apartment living with exceptional communal recreational amenity.”

The project includes a 2,600 sqm rooftop offering a comprehensive suite of resident amenities: three pools, a fitness centre, cinema room, private dining rooms, lounges, a library, and wellness facilities including hot and cold plunge pools, pilates, a sauna and a contemplative garden.

On the ground plane, active retail frontages along Duncan and Rogers Streets will sleeve ground-floor services and visitor parking. The two-level podium integrates green walls, planters, and textured façades, contributing vertical greenery and softening the street interface.

<img alt="West End set for climate-responsive apartments" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Duncan%20Street%20rooftop.png?VersionId=MzXW0hkOghQmE0HLxzI5iUwNNY6OfrVa" />

Apartments are oriented for privacy and outlook, with operable glazing and brise soleil elements supporting passive climate control. Balconies and structural articulation are designed to optimise light, airflow and private open space. “Each quality is reinterpreted in the sectional and plan parti and manifest in the three-dimensional building expression,” the architects said.

Located within a three-minute walk of the Brisbane River and in close proximity to local amenities including ALDI and Davies Park, the project reflects West End’s growing appeal to owner-occupiers seeking proximity to lifestyle amenity and urban vibrancy.

The development also aligns with Brisbane City Council’s broader planning vision to become a “New World City” by 2031, promoting a globally recognisable subtropical lifestyle through contextually responsive design.
