Designed by Woods Bagot, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/elevate-hume-place-crows-nest-25-hume-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Elevate Hume Place</a>&nbsp;comprises&nbsp;130 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.

Third.i Co-Founder Luke Berry said the project has received over 6,000 leads with over 400 appointments to date, with this unprecedented demand and strong interest not only reflecting the quality of the apartments but also the increasing demand for convenient, transit-oriented living in Sydney's dynamic real estate market.

“With over 50 per cent of Elevate Hume Place sold, this achievement highlights the growing appetite for contemporary living that prioritises accessibility and connectivity,” Berry stated.

“The design, amenities, demographic, and prime location of Elevate Hume Place have attracted a diverse range of local and international buyers, from young professionals and first home buyers to investors and downsizers, all seeking the perfect blend of urban convenience and community charm.”

Freya Watson, JLL’s Head of Residential Project Sales Australia - the sales partner for Elevate Hume Place - shared insights into the diverse range of buyers the development has attracted.

“Elevate Hume Place sets a new standard for transit-oriented living, appealing to both owner-occupiers and investors. Properties near metro stations often achieve a 20-30 per cent price premium and attract high rental demand, which has contributed to the strong buyer interest. Buyers clearly recognise the long-term potential of this development.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142550 project_image_fid=309368]

A significant portion of the buyer interest has come from Asia.

Among these international buyers, 25% are seeking residences for their children studying in Sydney, while another 25% are Australian passport holders or permanent residents looking for personal stays. The remaining 50% are investment-driven buyers, primarily from Singapore and Hong Kong, attracted by the project’s strong rental return potential.

“The Metro is a huge draw for buyers, especially those who value or are accustomed to the convenience of public transport, with its prime location and quick access to the CBD," Watson added.

"The city views are also a major attraction, along with the abundance of schools and universities right on the doorstep."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142550 project_image_fid=297878]

Berry says Elevate Hume Place buyers will experience a perfect blend of connectivity, community, and the vibrant lifestyle that <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/crows-nest-nsw-2065">Crows Nest</a> offers.

“Elevate features shared spaces that promote community interaction, iconic Sydney views, and sustainable design elements. The thoughtfully designed apartments foster a meaningful connection to the natural surroundings while honouring the site’s rich history. In addition to direct metro access, residents will benefit from being close to Crows Nest Village, which provides a variety of lifestyle amenities.”

Prices at Elevate start from $970,000.

Malaysian-Australian developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/mrcb">MRCB</a>&nbsp;has won PropertyGuru's Best Apartment Architectural Design and the inaugural Sustainable Design Award for its 26 Vista apartment development in Surfers Paradise.

The accolades were announced during the 7th PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Australia) ceremony held at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne, celebrating achievements in real estate across the country.

Located on Vista Street just one row back from the beach, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a> will rise 51 levels and home 280 apartments. 70 per cent have already sold, before construction commencement.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=211252]

MRCB International CEO, Ravi Krishnan, said they believe 26 Vista will be the greenest tower on the Gold Coast.

"In designing 26 Vista, our aim was to mirror the dedication we bring to all our projects, carefully crafting a sustainable yet prestigious living experience for both current and future residents of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Surfers Paradise</a>," Krishnan, said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=211248]

MRCB has also employed a number of other green initiatives for 26 Vista, including adopting an all-electric solution and eliminating gas via SUPA Energy, Australia’s most progressive energy solution.

These initiatives align with the developer's emphasis on sustainable construction practices, supported by its proprietary MRCB Building System (MBS).&nbsp;

This modular construction technology allows for up to 85 per cent of the building process to be completed off-site, significantly reducing energy consumption, carbon emissions, and waste while enhancing overall build quality.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=208885]

26 Vista will also offer EV car-sharing options in partnership with mobility company Outbound, making it one of the first residential buildings on the Gold Coast to provide this service.

"The project is a real showcase of what’s possible when developers prioritise convenience, luxury, and sustainability for the benefit of their residents," Outbound CEO Luke Rust said.

"Electric car sharing is an accelerating trend in buildings around the world and we’re excited to be pioneering the concept in Queensland.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=221706]

Since launching to market in early 2023, over 70 per cent of the apartments at 26 Vista have sold.

26 Vista will also offer residents lush private rooftop gardens and sky-high residents' lounges, providing 360-degree views of South East Queensland, along with offering a hotel-styled wellness precinct featuring a state-of-the-art gym, outdoor yoga space, outdoor pool and spa, sauna, and a steam room.

A decade-long vision to redefine Perth’s urban landscape has earned <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/golden-sedayu">Golden Sedayu</a> the prestigious Best Mixed-Use Development award at the 7th PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Australia), recognising the transformative potential of its flagship project, Burswood Point.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/burswood-point-saintly-entrance-burswood">Burswood Point</a> is a $3.8 billion redevelopment of a 38-hectare site around Belmont Racecourse, which includes 4,500 new dwellings, retail and commercial precincts, luxury hotels, and riverside parks.

The project is expected to contribute over $10 billion to the state economy while creating 25,700 jobs.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142314 project_image_fid=263304]

Developer Golden Sedayu, a partnership between Perth’s Golden Group and Indonesia's Agung Sedayu, has emphasised sustainability and livability in its masterplan, featuring 2.5 kilometres of Swan River foreshore and 110,000 sqm of public open space, including parklands, beaches, and playgrounds, as integral to the design.

Work on Burswood Point is already well underway, with $80 million spent on site preparation, including new infrastructure and roadworks.

Approvals for the precinct plan and initial construction have been secured, with further development applications for additional towers in progress.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142314 project_image_fid=263312]

Due to unique circumstances surrounding the release of The Grand Residences Eastlakes apartments, there is now a rare opportunity for home buyers and investors to secure a foothold in Sydney’s coveted Eastern Suburbs property market.

Located above the Eastlakes Shopping Centre on Evans Avenue, these apartments were developed by the renowned Crown Group, which initially retained around one-third of the units following their off the plan and post-completion sales campaigns.

However, after a shareholder dispute led to Crown Group entering provisional liquidation in August 2023, the remaining apartments have been re-released to the market at a price point that is unmatched in the new apartment market of the Eastern Suburbs.

The final selection of apartments is available, offering one, two, and three-bedroom units ranging from $745,000 to $1,675,000.

<h2>Receiver Warranty Bonus</h2>

A key advantage for buyers is that, as part of the receiver sale, all apartments at The Grand Residences Eastlakes come with an extended warranty.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7652 project_image_fid=262583]

In a typical direct purchase from a developer, buyers usually have a 90-day window to identify any defects in the apartment. However, under the current arrangement with BDO, new buyers will receive an extended warranty that covers them from the settlement date through to June 30, 2025.

The warranty covers all internal fixtures and fittings, including light fittings, taps, carpets, joinery, and other details, for all available apartments, including those that have previously been rented.

<h2>Value Proposition</h2>

There are no true comparable apartments in Eastlakes, or even the surrounding suburbs, that match the quality, design, and finishes found at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/the-grand-residences-eastlakes-16-evans-avenue-eastlakes">The Grand Residences</a>. Completed as Crown Group’s final development, these apartments set a new benchmark for luxury in the area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7652 project_image_fid=291043]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/crown-group">Crown Group</a> has long been synonymous with exceptional quality, having delivered iconic projects such as Arc by Crown in the Sydney CBD, Infinity Square at Green Square, and Waterfall by Crown in Sydney—all of which have earned multiple industry awards over the years.

The Grand Residences feature spacious floorplans, floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open onto large balconies, and kitchens equipped with high-end SMEG appliances and sleek stone island benches in the larger apartments.

<h2>Location &amp; Amenities</h2>

In true Crown Group style, the amenities at The Grand Residences are a standout feature, with the 25-metre heated pool serving as the centrepiece. Additional highlights include a well-equipped gym, an impressive rooftop deck with alfresco dining areas, built-in barbecue facilities, and a TV zone. From the rooftop, residents can enjoy expansive views back towards the city.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7652 project_image_fid=262600]

Each apartment comes with secure parking, and select units feature separate studies, catering to the diverse needs of buyers. Strategically located for easy access to Sydney’s CBD, popular beaches, and key amenities, The Grand Residences is positioned at the edge of the city’s thriving inner-east, close to vibrant neighbourhoods like Rosebery and Alexandria. The surrounding area offers a dynamic mix of cultural attractions, including the renowned Cannery café and dining precinct, along with supermarkets, specialty stores, and essential services.

Since its launch, the development has attracted steady interest from first home buyers, downsizers, and investors, drawn to the area’s strong rental yields and growing property values.

As the final apartments are sold, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/project-marketer/mcgrath-projects">McGrath Projects</a> and Crown Property Agency are overseeing the sell-down process, with several fully furnished display units now available for viewing.

The first stage, Atrium, will comprise&nbsp;152 apartments within one mid-rise eight storey building with a rooftop recreational space that provides views of the surrounding landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216768]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/ellipse-property-group">Ellipse Property</a> appointed Decode to complete the construction of the project earlier this year in September. Two adjacent residential houses will be demolished as part of the demolition works with construction due to commence in Q1 2024.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/ellipse-property-group">Ellipse Property</a> Associate Director Puja Khanna said <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/ellipse-property-group">Ellipse Property</a>, together with its builder partner Decode, is tremendously excited to start demolition on its landmark project, Carrington Place.&nbsp;

“Today marks a significant milestone for our entire team as we embark on the construction program of our most significant project to date Carrington Place. It’s a major undertaking for our company and a project that has drawn on the expertise and specialisations of a team of market leading consultants, architects, planners, engineers and builders.”&nbsp;

“As the largest residential project in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/castle-hill-nsw">Castle Hill</a>, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/ellipse-property-group">Ellipse Property</a> is delighted to be delivering such a significant multi-staged, game-changing project for the local Hills community, a major component of the transformation and evolution of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/castle-hill-nsw">Castle Hill</a>.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216770]

Having only recently launched in October, Carrington Place saw strong demand from local buyers looking for quality, larger-sized apartments and confidence in the developer/ builder.

“Immersed in nature and designed in keeping with the natural flow of the Cattai Creek, Carrington Place will set a new benchmark for modern living featuring the most premium, house-sized apartments in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/castle-hill-nsw">Castle Hill</a>,” Khanna added.

Award-winning iCIRT-rated construction company, Decode, is in charge of the construction.

Decode won the 2023 Urban Taskforce Development Excellence Award in the Mixed-Use Development category for the construction of its Burwood Grand residential project in Sydney’s inner west earlier this year.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216765]

Decode also was one of the first 20 construction companies to receive a gold star iCIRT rating by the Office of the NSW Building Commissioner in May 2022. The company was in the very first group of companies to receive this rating.&nbsp;

Providing an unbiased and independent review of an organisation, an iCIRT rating is obtained through a thorough assessment of all aspects of a business, aimed at building transparency in the industry and trust with the Australian families and individuals looking to buy-off-plan.&nbsp;

NSW Building Commissioner David Chandler said: “The Decode journey aligns with Construct NSW. The industry is starting to get on board with the massive reforms and Decode is a leader as one of the first 20 movers into the iCIRT rating space. And the great thing about leadership is people always remember who went across the finish line first.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89496 project_image_fid=216764]

Designed by award winning architectural firms Tony Owen Partners in collaboration with Stanisic Architects, Carrington Place has been bespoke designed to immerse with its surrounding natural landscapes.

Uniquely, the precinct will be home to over 20,000 square metres of outdoor recreational space and lush gardens, conceived by landscape architect, Site Image Landscape Architects, making it one of the greenest master-planned communities in the Hills District.&nbsp;

A key feature of the project will be a one-kilometre boardwalk running the length of the Cattai Creek connecting to Fred Caterson Reserve, a 58-hectare local reserve featuring picnic tables, children’s playgrounds, along with multiple sports facilities.&nbsp;

Melbourne Quarter is one of the most lavish completed&nbsp;developments located in the&nbsp;heart of&nbsp;Melbourne&rsquo;s vibrant CBD.

As we near the end of the First Home Buyer and HomeBuilder Grant,&nbsp;Urban have put together ten reasons why you might like to consider purchasing a&nbsp;home in&nbsp;the Melbourne Quarter development.&nbsp;

<h2>1. Developed by the Lendlease Group</h2>

The project&nbsp;is being developed by Lendlease, a multinational company headquartered in Sydney, with a&nbsp;very strong track record across Australia, Europe, the Americas and Asia.

They have won a number of awards&nbsp;across numerous Sydney and Melbourne projects and remain one of the&nbsp;most sustainable real estate funds in the world.

<h2>2. International design&nbsp;firm Fender Katsilidis have architected&nbsp;the building</h2>

Fender Katsalidis once a Melbourne-centric architectural practice, and now&nbsp;a highly awarded, multi-disciplinary international design firm is responsible for the architecture of this&nbsp;project among many others.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/melbourne-quarter-628-flinders-street-docklands" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/melbourne_quarter_full.jpg" /></a>

They have their stamp on renowned&nbsp;developments such as&nbsp;Australia 108, Flinders Bank, Fulton Lane and High Society just to name a few.

<h2>3. Three whole floors of resort-style amenities. &nbsp;</h2>

The project includes a hotel-style lobby, concierge and exclusive access to Club MQ, which also means access to the three entire floors of resort-style amenities on offer.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=3459]

<h2>4. The Melbourne Quarter precinct</h2>

Melbourne Quarter offers residents more than just the one East Tower currently on offer. It is a sprawling&nbsp;2.5-hectare site dedicated to public open space, surely to be&nbsp;named Melbourne&rsquo;s greenest city precinct, with a mix of both retail and parkland on offer for residents.

<h2>5. $458,000 is below the Melbourne CBD&#39;s median apartment price</h2>

Home buyers can enjoy a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment in the Melbourne Quarter for as low as $458,000, below the $490,000 median apartment value, calculated by realestate.com.au

<h2>6. Range of luxury residences&nbsp;available</h2>

Currently on offer in the Eastern Tower of the Melbourne Quarter&nbsp;is a collection of spacious one and&nbsp;two-bedroom architecturally designed apartments, with a range of price points from $458,000 all the way to a pricier $1,032,000.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/melbourne-quarter-628-flinders-street-docklands" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/melbourne_quarter_apt.jpg" /></a>

<h2>7. Located in the heart of the Melbourne CBD</h2>

Bordered by the renowned Collins and Flinders Streets, Melbourne Quarter offers residents the convenience of living in Melbourne&rsquo;s vibrant CBD at affordable prices for first home buyers or investors.

<h2>8. Nearby developments of a similar quality are more expensive</h2>

For example another development with top of the line amenities, R. Iconic has&nbsp;prices starting from $507,000, across their range of one, two and three bedroom suites.

Or the similarly lavish&nbsp;The Docklands Residences which&nbsp;sits atop a brand new 8-floor Marriott Hotel and offers a number of luxury amenities.

<h2>9. The Melbourne CBD will always be in demand</h2>

The Melbourne CBD has overall managed despite&nbsp;downturn predictions of the market and may have even seen price values grow if not for&nbsp;on and off state-wide lockdowns. In fact a number of economists are extremely optimistic Melbourne prices which are&nbsp;tipped to climb by 8 per cent this year followed by 10 per cent in 2022.

A number of economists predict the battle between banks for new customers and the successful rollout of the coronavirus vaccine may super-charge even the national property market.

<h2>10. Views from your future home</h2>

Many apartments in the&nbsp;Melbourne Quarter hold sweeping views across both the city and skyline.

The Brisbane-based developers Keylin Group and Kinstone Group has began construction on their waterfront homes and townhouses at the luxury Helensvale development Serenity 4212.

The construction commencement comes after more than $107 million in sales since the project, one of the Gold Coast’s largest waterfront land projects, launched 12 months ago.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=83147] 
Over 30 per cent of Serenity Green, part of Serenity 4212 comprising 60 architecturally designed town homes, have sold, with more than $12 million in sales in just four months following its market launch. 

Remaining town homes in Serenity Green are priced from $535,000.

The sales generated in Serenity Green add to the $72 million achieved through Serenity Waters – a collection of 110 waterfront blocks of land that back onto Lake Serenity and the Coombabah Wetlands Conservation Area.

Keylin director Louis Cheung said Keylin was keen to expand its residential and commercial portfolio in the northern Gold Coast growth corridor between Helensvale, Hope Island and Coomera.

“We are absolutely delighted that our range of residential offerings has been so warmly welcomed by the marketplace,” Mr Cheung said.

“Keylin, with our team of consultants, has worked very hard to create the most diverse residential options available within our projects and they have been very well received.

“It’s hard to believe that we have achieved so many sales in Serenity 4212 after only acquiring the waterfront site early last year and made so much progress across all our projects despite the challenges of the pandemic in 2020.”

Serenity Green’s town homes are positioned to capitalise on a growing market of discerning buyers seeking larger sized homes. 

“Demand for larger sized home is certainly growing, which in part is due to buyers spending more time at home during Covid. While the impacts of Covid-19 of the Gold Coast are subsiding, buyers’ desire to upsize their lifestyles certainly remains,” Mr Cheung added. 

Tony Ashwin, director of Ashwin Property which is managing the sales and marketing for Serenity 4212, said Serenity Green has been met with great immediate demand, particularly amongst the local owner-occupier demographic.

“Serenity 4212 is a unique, luxurious and well-priced offering and we’re witnessing great interest from the local community familiar with the great lifestyle on offer here,” said Mr Ashwin.

“There really isn’t much else on the market with the same level of offerings in a beautiful, private and idyllic location, so well-priced to meet the market.

“Demand for the larger sized home offering is certainly there. A lot of our buyers who don’t require all four bedrooms are converting the fourth room or the second living area into a home office which is ideal in a post-Covid working environment.”

A range of resident amenities will be on offer in the gated Serenity Green community including an outdoor recreation area with barbecque facilities and a large swimming pool.

Of the sales achieved to date, four first home buyers have taken advantage of $40,000 of government incentives – the $15,000 First Home Owners Grant and the $25,000 HomeBuilder scheme which ends this month.

The construction commencement comes after more than $107 million in sales since the project, one of the Gold Coast’s largest waterfront land projects, launched 12 months ago.

CDMA Australia has completed the first apartment building of its multi-staged, master-planned community, Rosella Place in Rouse Hill.

The first nine-level building has 72 apartments with large balconies offering sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. There are just five apartments left for sale in the development.

When completed in late 2023, Rosella Place will comprise 352 apartments across five mid-rise buildings.

The development at 56 Cudgegong Road, Rouse Hill is located in Sydney’s rapidly-growing north-west and is just 100 metres from the newly opened Tallawong Metro Station.

CDMA Australia sales and marketing manager Jonathan Tan said Rosella Place is the ideal purchase for a young family looking to make their first property purchase at a price that suits their budget as well as local downsizers who are looking for zero maintenance.

<img alt="" height="933" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/cudgegong_rd_kitchen_.jpg" width="1200">

“Investors will also be drawn to this project attracted to capital growth prospects with the raft of major infrastructure projects coming up in Rouse Hill including the $250 million expansion of the Rouse Hill Town Centre, the new Tallawong Town Centre, the opening of the new Rouse Hill Hospital and the Hills District’s first university, Norwest University", Tan said.

“In as little as five years’ time, Rouse Hill will be a major new centre in Sydney’s north west, home to thousands of more residents but also supported by significant local infrastructure and amenities.”

The next release of apartments at Rosella Place will be launched to market in mid March.

Designed by local architects WMK, Rosella Place, named after the vibrantly coloured Australian bird which is native to the Rouse Hill area, is one of the first residential projects to get underway in the rapidly expanding north west which meets a need for affordable, high quality apartments in close proximity to transport links and new public amenities.

The next release of apartments at Rosella Place will be launched to market in mid March.

Investors, downsizers and families to be drawn to new Rouse Hill community Rosella Place

Sydney property fund manager and developer, WINIM, has secured a 2,052 sqm site in Northbridge, taking its North Shore portfolio to six boutique residential developments.

The local North Shore developer is set to create a development with a mix of apartments and developments at 46-48a Eastern Valley Way, opposite Shore Playing Fields.

WINIM joint managing director Josh Leahy said the site is ideal for residential as it is within easy walking distance to Northbridge Plaza, Sailors Bay and Warners Park.

He said the residences will be highly sought after by families, resizers or those looking for a luxury house-sized property with minimal maintenance and state of the art finishes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=31908 project_image_fid=189116]

&ldquo;We engage with our customers from their first meeting with the sales agent. From monthly purchaser updates to quarterly site walks with the team, our customers are, as they should be, a key part of their property&rsquo;s journey.

WINIM&rsquo;s other North Shore projects have seen strong sales from local downsizers or right- sizers over the past six months at an average price of $2.5 million per property.

Set to feature striking, contemporary exterior and interior designs by local architect Rothelowman, WINIM&rsquo;s Northbridge project builds on the group&rsquo;s existing stable of premium, boutique North Shore holdings &ndash; carefully chosen, strategically located, high end properties including OTTO Cremorne and The Terraces Willoughby.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5864 project_image_fid=57682]

Rothelowman principal architect Ben Pomroy said terraces or townhomes are highly sought after all over Sydney but particularly on the North Shore where space is at a premium.

&ldquo;Along with all of our previous projects for WINIM, a key feature of several of the residences will include private open spaces maximising privacy, lifestyle and entertainment options,&rdquo; he said.

Following the development application approval, the project will be brought to market in late 2021.

&ldquo;Sydney&rsquo;s Lower North Shore is a key part of our residential strategy to develop premium, bespoke, well-conceived owner-occupier projects featuring exceptional design, located in prime tightly held pockets such as Northbridge,&rdquo; Mr Leahy said.

&ldquo;As our sixth residential project to get underway on the Lower North Shore, Northbridge is a significant landmark project which will greatly contribute to the undersupply of premium owner-occupier dwellings in the suburb.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29965 project_image_fid=189106]

WINIM history

Established by Josh Leahy and Joint Managing Director Justin Kuiters in 2010, WINIM has a history of successfully delivering large-scale master plans, retail complexes, mixed use sites and educational projects. A key focus of the business is delivering high quality Lower North Shore residential properties to existing valued and new customers.

Icon wins construction contract for The Village Alphington in Melbourne

The Brisbane-based luxury apartment developer Spyre Group has officially lodged plans&nbsp;for a fourth high end residential beachfront project on the Gold Coast.

They&#39;ll be converting the&nbsp;Komune Resort at Coolangatta in to a 12 level residential development they&#39;ve called Cala Dei Residences.

Designed by&nbsp;bureau^proberts, the development will have a total of 31 apartments.

Spyre Group director Andrew Malouf said the company had taken a considered approach to developing the site.

&ldquo;The site was originally intended for a 27-storey development, but we have significantly reduced this footprint. Instead, we propose to create luxury residences that complement the world class surfing reserve status of the southern Gold Coast beaches,&rdquo; said Mr Malouf.

Mr Malouf says&nbsp;the Komune property was ideal because it is a rare north-facing site.

<img alt="" height="800" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/kommune_coolangatta.jpg" width="1200" />

&ldquo;We have taken a lower density approach than the original proposal to give our newest project a level of sophistication that we know the market appreciates.

&ldquo;Our plan is to create an exclusive, boutique development that will set itself apart from other buildings in the area.&rdquo;

Between levels one and nine there will be 18 two bedroom apartments and nine three bedders. Level 10 will home two near 200 sqm sub penthouses and level 11 will have two penthouses, both with three bedrooms and their own private rooftop crowning the block.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/144-marine-parade-coolangatta"><img alt="" height="662" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/144_marine_parade_coolangatta_3_0.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

The two bedroom apartments span around 80 sqm of internal living space, with three bedroom apartments spanning over 220 sqm.

The ground level will feature&nbsp;576 sqm of recreational space, designed by Cusp Landscape Architecture which will include&nbsp;a communal resort area with plunge pools.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/144-marine-parade-coolangatta"><img alt="" height="678" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/144_marine_parade_coolangatta_4_0.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

Spyre Group bought the 862 sqm Marine Parade&nbsp;site from a company directed by Komune Resort owner Anthony Cannon and Fitness First founder Tony de Leede.

It&rsquo;s not the first time Spyre Group has chosen to redevelop a site already occupied by an existing multi-level building.

The company recently demolished the eight-storey Aspect apartment building, developed by Mimi McPherson on the Esplanade at Burleigh Heads, to start construction on its huge successful Natura project. Apartments range&nbsp;in price from $1.6 million to $3.5 million.

After spending the better part of a decade focusing on developments in Brisbane, Mr Malouf sees the Gold Coast market shaping up as a long-term proposition for the company.

&ldquo;The challenge always starts with securing the right site, and we&rsquo;ve been fortunate on the Gold Coast over the past few years targeting only the best beachfront sites in each area, especially with our latest acquisition at Coolangatta,&rdquo; he said.

&nbsp;&ldquo;The Gold Coast&rsquo;s natural environment may be what attracts people in the first place but creating luxury residences at this level provides a reason for many to stay.

&ldquo;The market is well supported by locals and increasingly by interstate buyers, and remarkably we see that trend continuing for some time.&rdquo;

Its debut project, the $79 million Elysian Broadbeach, has been completed with just two of the 61 apartments remaining for sale. The follow-up project, Maya at Kirra Beach, has just one apartment left from 16, while Natura also has only two of the 33 apartments offered to the market.

<h2>Other developments for sale on the Gold Coast</h2>

Shoreline, Surfers Paradise

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22057]

Shoreline is the latest Surfers Paradise tower to be created by Marquee Development Partners.

The boutique 27 apartment development across 17 levels offers residents a luxury unseen in the between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach for a number of years.

Miles Residences, Kirra Beach

[smartcode_project:default project_id=27575]

The Miles Residences Kirra Point will be one of Kirra Point&#39;s most impressive towers when it&#39;s completed in 2023.

The development of 118 apartments is part of the redevelopment of the&nbsp;Kirra Beach&nbsp;Hotel. The brains behind the operation is the family-ran KTQ Group, led by Peggy Flannery, who are behind the award-winning Elements of Byron Bay.

Designed by bureau^proberts, the development will have a total of 31 apartments across 12 levels

Spyre Group plan Komune Resort redevelopment dubbed Cala Dei Residences 

<html><body>
The Melbourne-based property developer GURNERTM has secured St Kilda's well known Cushion Lounge and has lodged $35 million plans to create what will be the first in a series of new concept hotels under the Club Maison brand.

Club Maison will provide ultra-luxury boutique short and long-stay accomodation.

Gurner, who paid $2.25 million for the 99 Fitzroy Street building, has had the Sydney HQ'd Warren and Mahoney Architects draw up plans for the first concept hotel, with 25 rooms across six levels. There will be hotel facilities such as a swimming pool and outdoor dining space.

<img alt="" height="1200" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/club_maison_gurner_2.jpg" width="1200">

From Fitzroy Street, where there will be a commercial space facing the street, it will look like the building has just three levels.

The design takes its cues from the Palazzo della Civilta Italiana in Rome and Mondadori building in Milan, with huge arched windows lining the façade, while exposed concrete, brick and steel in repeating curvilinear forms pay homage to Fitzroy Street’s iconic buildings including The George, Brooklawn Mansion and the neighbouring St Kilda terrace homes.

<img alt="" height="1600" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/club_maison_facade_3.jpg" width="1200">

GURNERTM founder and director, Tim Gurner said the Club Maison concept would become an exciting way forward for our brand, carving out a niche in an asset class that is not strictly residential.

“When you look at the successful business model of Soho House in London and New York, we want to take a similar approach and apply it at a local scale.

“Our Club Maison buildings will offer discerning Australians a private club experience with long and short term stays, private and public amenity and a very big focus on world-class hospitality offerings.

“These projects will become long-term investments for us as we look to strategically hold more assets across our portfolio into the future,” he said.

The developer confirmed it had adopted an aggressive acquisition mindset throughout 2020 and plans to acquire 12 to 15 sites of varying scale across the country within the coming 12 to 18 months.

“We are aggressively looking for further sites as the business continues to diversify and grow,” said Gurner.

The site is located just metres from the developer’s first landmark St Kilda project, Saint Moritz, which secured a record penthouse sale last year.

“Saint Moritz really re-invigorated my love for St Kilda – we are excited about the opportunities here and I believe St Kilda is really just at the beginning of a once-in-a- generation transformation."

Robina Group is preparing for a busy start to the year, with its Vue Terrace Homes posting $8 million of sales in just eight weeks to wrap up 2020, marking one of the biggest sales periods in the community’s history.

Located on Vue Boulevard in the heart of Robina on the Gold Coast, Vue Terrace Homes is also catching the eye of local and interstate investors, with the community boasting zero rental vacancy and a waiting list of tenants.

Robina Group recently put the finishing touches on the final stage in Vue, meaning all three bedroom plus multi-purpose room terraces in the gated community are now complete and ready to move into.

First home buyer, Sam Grima, was among the latest purchasers to secure his place at Vue and said he had found the ‘perfect location’ to call home. The 27-year-old engineer, a born and bred Gold Coaster, said rather than renting he had been living with his parents and saving for his dream home

“Vue is the perfect location and, as a structural engineer, I also love its architectural design," Mr Grima said

Robina Group development manager Darrell Irwinsaid local downsizers and upsizers had been leading the charge with recent sales, but noted there had also been strong interest from first home buyers in Robina.

“Vue is one of the few communities with completed homes on offer anywhere on the Gold Coast –and the central suburb of Robina is particularly sought-after –so that has been driving significant interest from those wanting to move straight into anew home,” he said.

Mr Irwin said across the board, purchasers were attracted to the architectural design, with all details including orientation, natural lighting, views, breezes and privacy considered.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/vue-terrace-homes-1-east-lane-robina" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/vue_terrace_homes_2.jpg"></a>

The three bedroom homes each feature generous living spaces, 2.5 bathrooms, dedicated study and media space, storage, a spacious and secure courtyard, high-speed internet connectivity and access to a resort-style pool and recreation deck.

On top of that, they offer a place in Robina, close to major public transport, hospitals, schools, universities and shops and at the doorstep of the expansive new Robina City Parklands, set to become the city’s central park.

Vue Terrace Homes are priced from $629,000.
