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.

One of the primary characteristics of a university campus is its location in high-amenity, well-connected suburbs, as it caters to the thousands of students who walk through its doors every day.

It’s this enviable central location that makes Hamton’s newest neighbourhood so appealing to discerning buyers. The 1.6-hectare site was formerly home to a University of Melbourne campus.

This relocation paved the way for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hamton">Hamton</a>, best known for their $3 billion joint venture development Moonee Valley Park, a vibrant new residential community emerging around the Moonee Valley Racecourse.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327680]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/scotch-hill-gardens-hawthorn-147-robinson-road-hawthorn-vic-3122">Scotch Hill Gardens</a> benefits from excellent transport connections and local amenities, further enhanced by the revitalisation of Bills Street delivered as part of the development. Thanks to its history as a university campus, the site is within five minutes of Glenferrie and Auburn Villages and 10 minutes to Kooyong Station.

In addition, the site lies within the prestigious Scotch Hill catchment, which includes highly sought-after educational institutions such as Scotch College, Bialik, and Auburn Primary and Auburn High. This makes it an attractive location for both young families and working professionals.

Understanding that the location would appeal to owner-occupiers, particularly rightsizers and downsizers, Hamton focused on creating a collection of residences tailored to this demographic. The design prioritised community over density, with a series of low-rise buildings nestled within nature.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327652]

The development retains 77 established trees on the site and will add a further 151, creating a unique topography visible from the upper levels of the building. A collaboration between placemaking specialists Woods Bagot and landscape architect Tract, the design dedicates over 40 percent of the 1.6-hectare site to landscaped green open space, seamlessly woven between the low-rise buildings.

Landscaping subtly defines boundaries between public and private zones, ensuring a harmonious blend of spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327686]

Inspired by nature, the masterplan reflects the organic formations of lily pads on a pond, discreet yet interconnected, sitting lightly within their context. Following the principles of “nature-based cities,” the site integrates nature, amenity, wellness, and community.

This commitment to nature complements the already well-established landscape nearby. Adjacent to Gardiners Creek, the site offers both recreational and ecological benefits, while the Yarra River trails, Patterson Reserve, and Hawthorn Velodrome, further enhance the area’s outdoor amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149097 project_image_fid=327694]

Residents will have access to a range of facilities, including a bathhouse with wellness amenities, a gym, co-working spaces, and communal dining and lounge areas.

Hamton will announce a builder in the coming months. Demolition of the old Campus is underway with construction on the first stage, anticipated to commence early 2026.&nbsp;

Brisbane-based developer Red &amp; Co. is venturing into the Gold Coast apartment market, spending $8 million on a vacant site in Varsity Lake.

The plan is to developer 156 apartments on the 2,857sqm, 22 Lake Street site, near Varsity Central Park.

Colliers Queensland Residential Development Sites Director Troy Linnane said Colliers had been &nbsp;working closely with Red &amp; Co. to help them secure their first Gold Coast site, with this site offering a great opportunity due to its location and existing approval.&nbsp;

“This off-market transaction highlights the value of strong market knowledge and relationships, we were able to align the right buyer with the right site given the relationships we have with many active &nbsp;developers seeking sites across the SEQ market,” Linnane said.&nbsp;

“Those groups with in-house construction capability or strong builder alliances are leading market activity as they are best positioned to deliver projects in the current market."

Linnane said with&nbsp;confidence strengthening in 2025, they are seeing increased competition for prime development sites.

“Developers are actively seeking well-located sites, to take advantage of the under supply of &nbsp;apartment stock and the significant uplift in revenues due to strong buyer demand."

<img alt="22 Lake St" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fcd9176e-4e38-4519-a868-0748419c1d2b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/22_Lake_Street_001.jpg?VersionId=Z7tUSkVLqv8qf.JTyMXmzasxvudP_u2p" />

Colliers Queensland Residential Site Sales Executive Jackson Robinson said the transaction reflected confidence in the market and increasing demand for well-located, DA-approved sites to develop into &nbsp;housing.&nbsp;

“Red &amp; Co. recognised the depth of unmet demand for well-priced apartment stock on the Gold &nbsp;Coast, particularly in sought-after suburbs like Varsity Lakes, which offers excellent connectivity, expansive views and close proximity to major employment and education hubs,” Robinson said.&nbsp;

There will be a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, with views over&nbsp;Lake Orr and out to Burleigh Headland and the Hinterland, with additional outlooks north towards the Broadbeach skyline.&nbsp;

Red &amp; Co., led by co-founders Keiran Foster and David Laverty, have previously completed several developments across Brisbane.

Spring Hill

Seven years after securing a development site in Brisbane's Spring Hill, national property developer Cbus Property has revealed it's plans for the site.

Cbus Property, who are set to complete their other Brisbane apartment tower 433 Queen Street next year, have proposed a 30-level tower at <a href="/news/qld/cbus-property-propose-sustainable-rothelowman-designed-brisbane-apartment-development">185 Wharf Street, Spring Hill</a>, one of Brisbane's most popular inner-city suburbs.

Rothelowman have designed the striking building which will have 125 apartments. They are targeting a 5 Star Green Star rating for the project, and a Nathers rating of 7.5 Stars. There are a number of sustainable features in the project, which will be 100 per cent electric. There will be EV charging, PV panels, and rainwater harvesting which will help create a more sustainable way of living.

Rothelowman noted in their submission to the Brisbane City Council that 185 Wharf Street embodies the&nbsp;empirical learnings from the rapid evolution of multiple dwelling architecture in SEQ and responds to the market demand from prospective residents for quality, sustainability and the integration of technology.

<img alt="Rothelowman Cbus Spring Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="459270f1-770d-438b-9759-f103a2363203" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-12-05%20at%209.30.17%20am.png?VersionId=jysmVJ6PhjQz2l7Wh4mIwBStRbpeVqCT" />

"It is proposed that an increasingly global awareness for the importance of environmental and social sustainability is closely aligned with the elevated expectations of people seeking quality higher density housing typologies in Australian urban centres," the report read.

"This enlightened longer-term focus is considered necessary to successfully respond to the increasing urbanisation of our cities and at the same time capture the opportunity to positively enhance urban living environments.

"The realisation of these core objectives will assist in promoting physical and mental wellness of individuals, create a meaningful sense of community and serve to leverage the utility of existing infrastructure to control the urban footprint."

Cbus Property are committed to the owner-occupier market, with not a single one-bed apartment on offer. They've pitched for 60 two-bedroom units, 45 three-bedroom apartments, and 20 four-bedders. There will be 233 resident parking spaces across the four basement levels of parking, and 32 bicycle spaces.&nbsp;

The apartments hav been designed to&nbsp;have a large balcony that is well connected to the living space.

"The tower has a front yard and backyard conceptual overlay which allows each unit to feel like a bespoke home," Rothelowman's report continued.

<img alt="Rothelowman Cbus Spring Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a356ac40-eaba-411c-9445-a9f1112bc4bd" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-12-05%20at%209.33.19%20am.png?VersionId=ufSv.aeNQz8tcmJx0yfZ4S1t0k6md4c9" />

"The balconies align up the tower as the mix changes to ensure architectural integrity is maintained."

There are a number of sky terraces which occupy the top of the southern tower form. They feature expansive backyards with trees and private pools.

The resident amenity will be located on the second level and is designed as a "natural Queensland escape". Dubbed "The Conservatory", residents will have access to a jungle gym, lap pool, kids play baths, magnesium baths, a sunbathing area, numerous alfresco areas, a gym with sauna, and a private dining room.

<img alt="Rothelowman Cbus Spring Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="87e6e42b-e7d9-4b7f-957f-1ff850c05828" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-12-05%20at%209.32.56%20am.png?VersionId=8y_efCWg.419TbnXuH5mXqYFU4KGyWVF" />

"The resident recreation amenity is considered an extension of the new subtropical Queensland apartment and offers prospective residents a sophisticated level of luxury only previously found in the single detached dwelling," Rothelowman added.

"185 Wharf Street will establish the Spring Hill Neighbourhood precinct as a re-imagined subtropical inner-city residential enclave at the doorstep of Australia’s New World City – Brisbane."

Cbus secured the 1,835 sqm site in 2015, paying $14.6 million for the block. At the time it had approval for 141 apartments across 15 levels.&nbsp;

Local Brisbane property developers, Grace Civil and Development, has lodged plans for a 25-level residential tower in Brisbane&rsquo;s Spring Hill.

A two-storey office building at 157-163&nbsp;Leichhardt&nbsp;Street, a 1447 sqm site, will make way for the project, which will have a three-level basement, three-level podium,&nbsp;112 apartments,&nbsp;and a rooftop terrace.

There will be a mix of&nbsp;16 one-bedroom, 84 two-bedroom and 12 three-bedroom apartments in the tower, which will be made up of stonewall features, rendered masonry and glass balustrades. Aluminium screening will be in place for privacy and amenity on the eastern and western facades of the tower. &nbsp;Levels four to 19 will provide six apartments each, with levels 20 to 23 providing four larger apartments.

The rooftop terrace features a communal open space area with a pool, spa, tables and seating, yoga lawn and barbecues, all in a densely landscaped setting with engineered planting by Taylors Urban Development.

The three basement levels and two of the podium levels will have up to 146 car parking spaces and 10 motorbike spaces, in addition to bicycle parking.&nbsp;

Level three&nbsp;of the podium also provides further building amenity, including a gym and medical room.

The arcade walkway is a primary feature of the development, comprising dense landscaping elements to create an outdoor, suburban like pathway setting, as well as pedestrian access from Leichhardt Street. The arcade walkway also provides access to the foyer of the upper level residences of the site.

According to planning documents, the residential tower will be the tallest built form on the block, at the maximum height allowable in the Spring Hill Neighbourhood Plan.&nbsp;

&ldquo;The proposed development presents a high-quality architecturally designed high-rise development that presents a significant improvement to the streetscape in place of the current building onsite,&rdquo; the assessment report said.

&ldquo;It&nbsp;is sympathetic to surrounding development and delivers an ideal outcome for inner-city apartment living within the Brisbane CBD.&rdquo;

The development lies within proximity to a range of transport links, including three bus stops all within 150 metres and Roma Train Station 700 metres from the site.

There were two pre-lodgement meetings held with the local council before the application submission.

157-163 Leichardt Street comprises a three-level basement, three-level podium at street level, along with 112 apartments and a rooftop terrace.

A tenanted strata office in Spring Hill, Brisbane has been snapped up by a private Sydney based investor for $5 million.
The sale of 170 Leichhardt Street makes it the biggest settled strata transaction so far this year in the Queensland capital. 
The 1,374 square metre office space on level two is tenanted by Imagine Education Australia for a seven-year term with a three-year option.
The offering also includes 22 square metre balcony area and nine car parks.
It was marketed via an expression of interest campaign by Sam Biggins and Tony Wang from Colliers International.
“This was the first commercial property acquisition for the high net worth Sydney-based investor who works in the finance sector,” said Biggins.  
“With current record low interest rates and decreasing vacancy rates in the Brisbane office sector, we are continuing to see interstate investors looking to Brisbane, attracted by the yield differential and growth prospects over the southern markets.”
Colliers International has transacted eight strata offices so far this year across the CBD and metro Brisbane.
The properties range from $500,000 to $5 million, averaging at $3,851 per square metre and an average yield of 7.88%.  
“Long term investors are backing the strata market, but sales to owner occupiers are also on the rise as the leasing market continues to improve in combination with record low interest rates,” said Wang.
“Strata office sales within the golden triangle precinct have performed very well. Within 97 Creek Street Colliers International’s Strata team have sold four offices so far this year ranging from 63 square metres up to a full floor of 638 square metres. One of the office investments had achieved a record 6.2% yield.”

It provides unitholders of the Cromwell Direct Property Fund (DPF) exposure to the booming higher education market in Brisbane.
The major tenant, International Education Services (IES), works in partnership with organisations such as the University of Queensland to offer educational services for international students and education professionals.   Acquired for $42 million with a 6.7 per cent yield, the refurbished 6,000sqm building is fully leased.
It comes with a weighted average lease expiry (WALE) of approximately 12 years.    Hamish Wehl, Head of Retail Funds Management at Cromwell, said the Boundary Street investment was set to be a compelling addition to the DPF portfolio.   “The education sector is growing substantially and is Australia’s third largest export behind iron ore and coal.  
"IES, as a global leader in education services, is well positioned to benefit from the influx of international students coming to Australia,” Mr Wehl said. “With the Brisbane City Council’s clear agenda to continually attract more students to the city, combined with their vision to rejuvenate the Spring Hill precinct, Boundary Street will add long-term value and diversification to the Fund.”
