Brisbane off the plan townhouses

Brisbane is crying out for new supply in the off the plan apartment market.

Confidence in the Queensland capital is at an all-time high, and there's no suggestion of a slowdown in demand.

Assisting in the growth in the unit market is the lack of new projects. There's not been a release of a new apartment development, certainly nothing close to a tower development, in months.

Developers have been active however over April, which bodes well for Brisbane's future supply.

Of course, these projects won't be realised for several years, with the approval phase, marketing, and then the build generally making the lifespan of a new development between four to five years, depending on density and the speediness of the approval process.

We've wrapped up the top five apartment developments that were submitted to the Brisbane City Council in April.

<h2>Address: 18 Macgregor Street, Upper Mount Gravatt</h2>

<h3>Developer: Salter Brothers</h3>

One of the most interesting apartment developments submitted in Brisbane in April was in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/upper-mount-gravatt-qld">Upper Mount Gravatt</a>, where&nbsp;diversified investment group and property developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/salter-brothers">Salter Brothers</a>&nbsp;has sought to create their first project in Brisbane.

Salter Brothers is seeking to demolish the Mercure Brisbane Garden City Hotel&nbsp;and develop a new 17-level apartment building at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/18-macgregor-street-upper-mount-gravatt">18 Macgregor Street</a>.

They've had <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/bates-smart">Bates Smart</a> create the plans for the mixed-use building that will have 101 apartments above a four-level podium. That will home a 90-space childcare centre and parking for 107 cars.

There will be eight apartments per floor, six two-beds and two three-bedders. The apartments are expressed as "gently undulating petals," Bates Smart wrote in their submission to the Brisbane City Council.

<h2>Address: 28 Beesley Street, West End</h2>

<h3>Developer: Tocu Properties</h3>

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/tocu-properties">Tocu Properties</a>, which has been developing townhouses across Brisbane's inner-ring suburbs, is moving into the apartment market in the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/west-end-qld">West End</a>.

They've had&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>&nbsp;draw up plans for a seven-level apartment development on the corner of Beesley and Filmer streets, one of the last remaining infill development sites within the highly sought-after West End precinct.

<img alt="First look: Tocu Properties file West End apartment plans" 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/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-08%20at%202.55.00%20pm.png?VersionId=kmmVDJLDjORu2KAAqTiHkM1FwIhGBEPp" />

The proposal is for 42 two and three-bedroom apartments, 30 of which will have an additional multi-purpose room.

Crowning the building will be a 656 sqm rooftop amenity level with an infinity edge pool, hot and cold plunge pools, and open lawn and barbecue areas with views over <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a>.

<h2>Project: Canopy House by Aria, Kangaroo Point</h2>

<h3>Address: 58-62 Leopard Street Kangaroo Point, Kangaroo Point QLD 4169</h3>

<h3>Developer: ARIA Property Group</h3>

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/aria-property-group">ARIA</a> is again seeking to bulk up its upcoming <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/kangaroo-point-qld">Kangaroo Point</a> apartment project, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/canopy-house-by-aria-58-62-leopard-street-kangaroo-point">Canopy House</a>.

The Tim Forrester-led developer is seeking to add a further four levels to the previous 29-level tower by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/rothelowman" target="">Rothelowman</a>, which were approved in August after a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/qld/aria-seek-to-make-kangaroo-point-cliffside-tower-canopy-house-by-aria-larger">change application in June last year</a>.

<img alt="First look: Aria bulk up Canopy House in Kangaroo Point by buying next door" 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/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-16%20at%208.29.27%20pm.png?VersionId=EcbkV1.4aU3qa_g5kxyNXsrkqKpgJOuZ" />

The new design will also see an extended podium which will now feature a resident park with a barbecue kitchen and outdoor dining area, playground, and seating pods.

The documents suggest the new design will improve the facade, providing a "greater visual relief to the built form and significantly increasing the project’s ‘Green Factor’."

<h3>Developer: Vista Projects</h3>

The Gold Coast-based architecture firm <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/contreras-earl-architecture">Contreras Earl Architecture</a> has put together a design for their next project in the neighbouring&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/taringa-qld">Taringa</a>&nbsp;on behalf of developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/vista-projects">Vista Projects</a>.

Greg Norman's Brookwater championship golf course in Springfield is set for a new neighbour, with multi-residential Queensland developer Azure set to developed a new terrace community next door.

The $72 million townhouse development, Oakmont by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/azure-development-group">Azure</a>, will comprise 61 townhouses and will sit on the edge of the eighth hole of the course which Norman designed.

The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/springfield-qld">Springfield</a> project, in the smaller suburb of Brookwater in the City of Ipswich, will offer direct frontages and views over the golf course and beyond to the mountains.

“We are thrilled to have secured development approval for Oakmont which has already garnered significant interest from the market,” Azure Director Trent Keirnan said.

“Oakmont epitomises the Azure philosophy of creating residences of distinction that are ultimately designed for owner occupiers and investors seeking a quality residential offering.&nbsp;

“A quality terrace home of three bedrooms plus multi-purpose room is the minimum offering for this development, which is complemented by the desirable setting of wide, open spaces that a championship golf course provides.”

Oakmont by Azure will be built by Azure's in-house construction arm <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/azure-build">Azure Build</a>, which has delivered&nbsp;more than 1,000 residences to the South East Queensland market over the past decade.

Each of the residences will either have three or four bedrooms, plus an additional multi-purpose room

Springfield set for new townhouse development as Oakmont by Azure gets green light

A young Brisbane developer has unveiled the only downsizer project in The Gap.

Construction is already well advanced on Adpen’s new boutique estate, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/house-and-land/natures-edge-25-owen-creek-road-forest-glen">Nature’s Edge</a>, offering a rightsizing opportunity in a suburb dominated by large family homes.&nbsp;

Nature’s Edge comprises just nine architecturally designed homes close to bushland with the choice of three or four bedrooms and high-quality fixtures and finishes, located only eight kilometres from the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a> CBD and priced from $1.15 million.

As the only new downsizer development currently underway in the premium pocket, Nature’s Edge will also help to free up existing housing stock for families previously locked out of The Gap market.&nbsp;

<img alt="Brisbane developer bridges the gap for downsizers - Courtyard" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e6b404a9-14ec-48b6-bea3-93a1987215c5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Lot%202%20-%205%20Courtyard%20Seating_0.jpg?VersionId=Al0dF3XS6oXQ_9_1MMN9147v6RYyImTU" />

Adpen Managing Director Adam Pennisi said Nature’s Edge encouraged empty nesters to embrace downsizing in a close-knit community they knew well and did not want to leave.&nbsp;

“The Gap has been long underserviced in terms of downsizer-friendly homes, meaning older residents were either forced to stay in their current houses or move away from the place they love to find a more suitable home,” Pennisi said.&nbsp;

“I am a young developer but have parents reaching the downsizer stage of life and understand what they’re looking for – the chance to enjoy all the benefits of a brand-new home without the burden of high maintenance."&nbsp;

With the downsizing trend accelerating, The Gap real estate expert Lee Dwyer said there was a desperate need for increased housing options to accommodate the growing population of seniors, projected to reach 6.66 million Australia-wide by 2041.&nbsp;

“The Gap is a highly sought-after location for buyers and we have noticed many seniors want to stay in the community they have planted roots with their children and grandchildren,"&nbsp;Dwyer said.

"Previously, having minimal downsizer stock, this demographic has had to move away. In order to future-proof Brisbane’s property market, developers need to meet this vital housing need, which in turn, provides an entry point for other buyers to get into the property &nbsp;market.”&nbsp;

<img alt="Brisbane developer bridges the gap for downsizers - Dining Kitchen" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="32f2acf8-a700-4398-875f-1179a773f2d3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Lot%201%20Dining%20and%20Kitchen.jpg?VersionId=zcDQ5r8ATaqNl33xS.eZHY7nU1UVx8w6" />

Designed by architect Nigel Fitton, Nature’s Edge is an exclusive residential estate close to amenity.

The terrace-style homes provide up to around 220 sqm of indoor and outdoor spaces with two bathrooms, walk-in robes, ducted air conditioning, and 2.7m high ceilings.

With $200 million worth of projects in the pipeline, Adpen is focused on providing the best solutions for south-east Queensland’s housing crisis, along with bespoke commercial and childcare developments.&nbsp;

Their <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/long-pocket-75-jacaranda-place-indooroopilly">Jacaranda Place development</a> of just 45 four-level townhouses has brought much-needed supply to the townhouse market in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/indooroopilly-qld">Indooroopilly</a>. The latest census data shows less than eight per cent of dwellings in the riverside suburb at townhouses.

What's rarer still is the project is nestled between two golf clubs, St Lucia Golf Links and the Indooroopilly Golf Club, as well as being located right on the Brisbane River.

The completed Long Pocket community by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/shayher-group">Shayher Group</a>&nbsp;has been popular with downsizers who want a lower maintenance lifestyle while retaining the space, as well as young families wanting to be in the Indooroopilly school zone.

Long Pocket comprises 45 townhouses divided into two distinct collections: the Rainforest Collection positioned beside Jacaranda Place Reserve and the Riverview Collection overlooking the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a> River.&nbsp;

Residents are also just a short walk or buggy ride to two 18-hole golf courses, the St Lucia Golf Links and the Indooroopilly Golf Club.

Queensland developer Azure has secured approval for its&nbsp;new $57 million residential estate at Flinders View.

Azure Director Trent Keirnan says full council approval is another step toward Azure’s mission of delivering townhouse developments to meet the growing demand amidst the current housing shortage crisis in southeast Queensland.&nbsp;

“We are thrilled to have received DA approval for Dahlia,” Keirnan said.

“Azure is especially committed to investing in key growth areas and creating communities that focus on affordability and liveability with the inclusion of prized indoor-outdoor living areas that define the southeast Queensland lifestyle and Dahlia is no exception.

“We are eager to deliver an abundance of residences during a housing shortage and continue to contribute essential housing supply and diverse housing options in a city marked by thriving employment and business opportunities.”&nbsp;

According to data by Urbis and the ABS, in the next two years Ipswich’s annual growth rate is expected to rise 4.2 per cent, with the population expected to exceed 424,000 by 2041.

“Ipswich is currently undergoing a major transformation and is forecast for remarkable growth potential, and we are actively playing our part in meeting the rising demand,” Keirnan added.&nbsp;

Once complete, the Dahlia estate will comprise over 100 townhouses consisting of three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms with a mix of six different floorplans on offer.

Residents will also enjoy an array of recreational amenities, including a 686 square meter communal lawn area and a club facility featuring a 15-meter swimming pool with a 5-meter kids splash pool, sun lounges, double day beds, and lush landscape gardens.

Dahlia’s surroundings offer residents a perfect blend of convenience, green spaces, and connectivity, with a supermarket, Cafe 63, a bakery, chemist, and a well-maintained council park with a pedestrian footpath directly across the road.&nbsp;

The approval follows the successful sellout of Azure’s other Ipswich projects, the $50 million Seasons by Azure and the $55 million Munro estate.&nbsp;

Construction is expected to commence in the second quarter of this year with the project set to launch to market next month.

Azure is a privately owned real estate development and investment company that has delivered more than 1,400 terraces, units and residential lots since it was founded in 2014.

The company’s active portfolio of seven developments is valued at more than $500 million, including two luxury high rises in inner Brisbane - One Earle Lane at Toowong which is edging closer to a sellout and One Five Six by Azure at New Farm which set a price record for the inner city in 2022 with its $11.4 million penthouse sale.

Construction of Dahlia is expected to commence in the second quarter of this year with the project set to launch to market next month.
