The burgeoning Stones Corner in Brisbane, on the fringe of the Woolloongabba Olympic precinct, is set for a new apartment development with the recent approval of a two-tower project just off Hanlon Park.

Peter Gartshore from the family-ran Idec Group is behind the plans on the 3,846 sqm site at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/73-85-cleveland-street-stones-corner">73-85 Cleveland Street</a>, which will feature a striking skybridge connecting the two recreational rooftops designed by NMDS Architecture.

The development will have 226 apartments, split into 79 one-bedroom apartments, 83 two-bedders, 62 three-bedroom units, and only two four-bedroom apartments.

The skybridge will connect the two rooftop recreation areas that total 1273 sqm, allowing residents from both towers to access the full range of recreational facilities that include&nbsp;a pool, spa, terrace area, gym, sauna, showers, change rooms, alfresco and indoor dining areas, a theatre, community garden, and a dedicated dog walking area.

The submitted town planning report highlights the strategic importance of the proposed site in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/stones-corner-qld" target="">Stones Corner</a>, stating that it falls within a growth node on a selected transport corridor identified under the City Plan. It emphasises that areas within these nodes offer opportunities for more intense urban forms that cater to the needs of the local community.

The report emphasises the housing crisis in the southeast Queensland region, with low rental and housing stock levels, and states that the project will provide 226 additional housing opportunities near centres, community services, and transport options.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/stones-corner-qld" target="">Stones Corner</a>, located just over two kilometres from Woolloongabba, the home of the 2032 Olympic Games, is undergoing significant urban transformation with the aim of residential and mixed-use densification.<img alt="Twin tower apartment development proposed for Stones Corner" 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/Screenshot%202023-05-16%20at%2010.57.40%20am.png?VersionId=gqA7E4EGRrPWzlrhMaNWTPJ1RuYS0exI" />Render of the proposed twin tower&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/stones-corner-qld" target="">Stones Corner</a>&nbsp;development.

The development will prioritise green spaces and landscaping. The landscaping design by Wild Studio includes vertical green walls extending the full height of the building, feature trees at the main entrance on Cleveland Street, raised garden beds, and planter boxes with climbing and cascading plants.

The integration of greenery aims to create a vertical, subtropical micro-climate that enhances the building's appearance, provides cooling to residents, and contributes to the overall streetscape.

The development will include three basement levels with space for 330 cars. While the area is well-serviced by public transport, alternative transportation options will also be provided to residents. A car share system will enable those without vehicles to access ten electric vehicles, and there will be ample bicycle parking spaces, 283 in total, supported by an on-site bicycle workshop.

The project will comprise 226 apartments ranging from one to four bedrooms on a 3,846 sqm site at 75-85 Cleveland Street

New apartment development approved for Stones Corner

Latent Defects Insurance (LDI), is changing the game for off the plan apartment buyers in Australia.

This insurance product provides off-the-plan apartment buyers with a 10-year warranty on their new apartment and the building it's situated in. The cover is purchased by the property developer/builder (pre-construction) and is designed to protect owners against any immediate or future problems with the structural components of their new property, from leaks to cracks and everything in between.

Some of Sydney’s biggest and most respected developers have embraced the new insurance. The likes of Deicorp, Kanebridge, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a>, Coronation Property and Urban Property Group have rolled out the insurance across some, if not all of the projects they’re currently undertaking.&nbsp;

Sydney-based Resilience Insurance, the first insurer to launch LDI in Australia, is now taking the product national, and is having conversations with developers in Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Perth.&nbsp;

<h2>How does Latent Defects Insurance work?</h2>

Resilience Insurance CEO Corey Nugent says the insurance, which has been around for about seven decades across the globe, benefits both the purchaser and the developer.

“Ultimately what we’re trying to do is build better buildings the consumers can have trust in, but more importantly improve the post completion and settlement process, so that when buyers take possession, they have full insurance protection, from day one, for 10 years” Nugent says.

“The insurance protects the buyer from any structural defects in the building, and developers who have taken Resilience LDI have reported an uptick in both sales volumes and sale values compared to competing developments that don’t have Resilience LDI.”

While giving confidence to the consumer at the end of the build, Resilience LDI is actually in place throughout the build process. Rather than it solely being used as a rectification product, the insurance kicks in to fix issues when they arise, rather than down the track following completion. Of course the insurance protects owners at that stage too, however the ideal scenario is any problems that come up during the building get fixed well before settlement.

Resilience has a string of expert partners who are onsite even before construction has started to ensure even the ground the development is being built on is structurally sound.

<h2>What does LDI mean for off the plan apartment buyers?</h2>

A survey undertaken by MatterFact, Urban.com.au’s data product, shows the biggest thing holding back prospective purchasers from buying an off the plan apartment is the trust and faith they have in the developer, followed closely by the concern the build won’t be of good quality. It was a common consensus on the survey conducted from state to state, where delivery was much more of an issue raised compared to budgets, approvals or price of the apartment.

“LDI is about to change the game in the off the plan apartment market,” Urban.com.au CEO Mike Bird says, adding that the insurance will be a huge boost to helping solve Australia’s housing crisis.

“With the large imbalance of supply and demand in Australia, there has to be a move to off the plan apartments, but to get there, consumers need to be more confident in delivery.

“Unfortunately the industry has been tarnished by a small number of developers who haven’t acted on behalf of the consumer in the last five years or so. Developers who have Resilience LDI are telling consumers that they’re in a partnership with them, and they will deliver the quality that they promised. If they don’t, then the insurance protects the purchaser, without all the trials and tribulations of litigations and long, drawn out court cases which often cost thousands of dollars as well as significant upheaval whether it be mental or physical.

<h2>How does Latent Defects Insurance impact the developer?</h2>

Data collected by MatterFact also showed 60 per cent of off the plan apartment seekers would pay over 1.5 per cent of the apartment price for it to have LDI cover, which typically outweighs how much it costs a developer to purchase Resilience LDI.&nbsp;

Nugent says there have been instances already where developers have reported prices with a four to five per cent increase due to them having LDI, compared to similar projects in the same area.

While there’s been a handful of progressive new tools to try and build confidence in the off the plan industry, such as the iCIRT-rating system and KMPG’s Building Trustworthy Indicator, no one has gone as far as Resilience LDI in terms of actual protection for an off the plan apartment buyer.

NSW Building Commissioner David Chandler recently lauded the introduction of LDI, suggesting it will improve the design and construction of apartment buildings in NSW.

“These reforms have come about due to the united commitment of government and industry to transform the NSW construction sector,” Chandler said.

“NSW is now in the position of being a national leader in offering an insurance product of this type for Class 2 buildings because of the three years of conscious effort and commitment by Government and industry to the journey we have been on under Construct NSW.

“We’re looking to clean up the market and bring an end to expensive litigation against developers who have deep pockets or subsequently vanish into thin air.”

Tim Forrester's Aria Property Group is set to continue its transformation of South Brisbane with another sustainable apartment development approved.

They've been given the green light by the Brisbane City Council to develop a new tower on a triple block at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/164-190-melbourne-street-south-brisbane">164-190 Melbourne Street</a>, where the former Malouf's Fruit Shop and Bond's Sweet Factory once stood.

The sustainably conscious developer, known for their signature rooftop amenity and sustainability efforts, will be constructing a new apartment tower at 33 Manning Street, on the corner of Melbourne and Manning Streets—the first of three towers across the amalgamated site.

Aria has collaborated with <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/bates-smart">Bates Smart</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/richards-and-spence">Richards &amp; Spence</a> for the design and development of the approved tower, slated to feature 84 apartments spread across 14 levels, along with extensive rooftop amenities.

The design statement submitted to the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a> City Council emphasised the tower's spacious dwellings catering to a diverse population, including families and students.

The design emphasises natural light, cross ventilation, and practical living considerations, including private bedrooms, generous kitchens, and flexible living spaces.&nbsp;

Sydney's skyline is set to transform with the approval of new dual-tower development plans overlooking Hyde Park in the heart of the city.&nbsp;

The project, which is linked to Chinese developer Shimao Group Holdings, will comprise 259 apartments across two 28 and 30-level towers, set above commercial and street-level&nbsp;retail at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/175-liverpool-street-sydney">175 Liverpool Street</a>.

The design, selected through a competitive process that highlighted <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/bates-smart">Bates Smart</a> as the winning scheme, was praised for its thoughtful integration with the surrounding environment, including a respectful approach to the adjacent ANZAC War Memorial and Hyde Park.

"To respect the primacy of the Memorial we designed a ‘quiet’ building free from visual distractions and unnecessary formal manipulation, that would not distract from the visual prominence of the memorial," the statement read.

<img alt="Sicard Pty Ltd dual-tower apartment overlooking Hyde Park " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="faf55f44-9e38-4558-87a1-1a1604cf083f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Hyde%20Park%20podium.png?VersionId=dcw7NAN89zYwUHfXCxonWBVMeIxLSolf" />

The project's suitability for the site and its context, with careful consideration given to neighbouring developments, streetscape aesthetics, and the overall urban setting was one of the crucial aspects contributing to the approval of the proposal.

The mix of land uses, including residential, commercial, and retail, is also expected to invigorate the area's vitality without compromising environmental or amenity standards.&nbsp;

Moreover, amendments made to the initial proposal address community concerns, underscoring a commitment to responsible urban development.

This approval adds to the interest in development around Hyde Park, reflecting a broader trend of urban revitalisation in Sydney.&nbsp;

Brisbane developer Skyhold has settled on its prime Balmoral site where it will soon be launching a new $150 million apartment development.

Skyhold's Zhen Chen bought <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/91-lytton-road-balmoral">91 Lytton Road, Balmoral</a>, a 23,265 sqm site, for $27.5 million three years ago, with settlement just occurring.

Last year Skyhold <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/qld/fender-katsalidis-designed-plans-lodged-for-balmoral-apartment-development">submitted plans to the Brisbane City Council</a> for four medium-density buildings that were recently approved. There will be&nbsp;mix of two and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses, as well as 14 townhouses.

“<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/skyhold">Skyhold</a> is excited to be launching our next signature project within the upmarket <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/bulimba-qld">Bulimba</a>/<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/balmoral-qld">Balmoral</a> catchment," Zhen Chen said.

"Opportunities of this scale within the inner city are almost non-existent and our vision for the site aligns with this once-in-a-generation opportunity.

“Our vision, designed by internationally celebrated architect Fender Katsalidis responds to current market demands, resulting in generous private open space alongside intergenerational communal recreation opportunities. The development offers housing diversity for housing entrants as well as 
right-sizers within the area."

<img alt="Skyhold" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="acfe7666-58f7-486a-b5c0-e71d24febc1e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-05-07%20at%209.58.59%20am.png?VersionId=i8s6WSG9EUd6WdRdgczJO4UN0pQCQ3eC" />

Knight Frank's Blake Goddard, who sold the site, said it was sought after during the sales campaign.

“During the campaign we had strong interest in the property, with over 120 enquiries from a range of buyers attracted to the uniquely large parcel of land with multiple favourable development outcomes," Goddard said.

“The site lies within one of Brisbane’s most popular and prestigious residential locations, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/balmoral-qld">Balmoral</a>, a suburb that has ideal neighbourhood amenity and close proximity to the Brisbane River, less than four kilometres from the CBD.

“A residential development on the site will benefit from the strong demand to live in the area and the high surrounding residential dwelling price."

Fender Katsilidis, who designed the project, said in the Urban Context Report as part of the project submission that their vision is to repurpose an under-utilised site into a vibrant, medium-density residential precinct optimising its existing natural landscape and bring greenery across the precinct and into the residences spread across the site.

The site will home four medium-density buildings with a range of apartments and townhouses on offer

The billionaire Neilson family has revealed plans to revitalize an old commercial strip in the heart of Redfern.

The plans, which will transform a row of industrial-style commercial spaces across&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/2-30-vine-street-redfern-redfern">2-30 Vine Street and 32-34 Eveleigh Street</a>, have been filed by a company tied to Paris Neilson, the daughter of billionaire arts patron Judith Neilson and investment banker Kerr Neilson, and her husband Todd Barcombe

They're proposing a new mixed-use building on the three-lot amalgamation, creating a 2,406 sqm, L-shaped site.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<img alt="Neilson" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a30c862c-f79c-4a3e-b22d-203fbea50eeb" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-05-06%20at%2012.27.46%20pm.png?VersionId=X3wmIxL5VYekUUaozqOwqWIbSYMssYN9" />

The $30 million sketch plans have been submitted as a State Significant Development to the NSW Government, given the estimated cost exceeds the $10 million requirement to be categorised as State Significant Development under Schedule 2 of the Planning Systems SEPP.

Because the proposed&nbsp;building does not exceed more than six levels from ground level, it did not require a competitive design process. Koichi Takada Architects won a limited architectural competition for the site in November 2023.

<img alt="Takada" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="60f7a54d-d877-432f-839b-08afd60b42f8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-05-06%20at%2012.20.55%20pm.png?VersionId=9PILSqZK0dviFu1MKT67X7cGfQ7krtT2" />

Their plans envision a part three-level, part six-level building with&nbsp;retail, commercial, and residential spaces above basement parking. Proposed are&nbsp;a total of 20 commercial spaces and two street-level retail tenancies.

A through-site pedestrian link will be created at the heart of the development, connecting Vine Street to Hudson Street. Partially open communal spaces will be created fronting Eveleigh Street to the east.

There are 23 apartments planned, 12 one-beds, nine two-beds, and two three-bedroom units.

The site is around 500 metres from Judith Neilson's famous White Rabbit Gallery in Chippendale.

Brisbane’s inner-city is getting closer to seeing the completion of its newest apartment development in Indooroopilly, The Audrey, by builder-developer&nbsp;Savve Developments &amp; Construction.

One of the biggest drawcards of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/the-audrey-109-clarence-road-indooroopilly">The Audrey</a>, a boutique block of just 30 apartments, is its prime location, on a 1610 sqm&nbsp;site at 107 Clarence Road,

Beyond the amenities provided within The Audrey, including a rooftop pool with cabanas, barbecue facilities and a fire pit area, residents will benefit from easy access to a variety of establishments, activities, and services in the immediate area.

Centrally located in a walkable community, The Audrey offers the best of all worlds, with the casual vibe of the tree-lined Clarence Road while being just moments away from a vibrant array of cafes and restaurants, world-class shopping destinations, and prestigious golf courses.

The convenience of nearby train stations and the new boardwalk along the Brisbane River adds an extra degree of accessibility, connecting residents to the CBD, which is just nine minutes away.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/indooroopilly-qld">Indooroopilly</a>&nbsp;Station is just a five-minute walk from the site, as is the Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, which is the largest shopping destination in the western suburbs of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a>&nbsp;with over 360 specialty stores, 16 cinema rooms and a food court.&nbsp;

The Audrey is also close to two premier golf courses adjacent to each other, the Indooroopilly Golf Club and the St Lucia Golf Links, both a five-minute drive away.

In addition to shopping and entertainment, the surrounding area also boasts a variety of educational institutions, including The University of Queensland, Indooroopilly State High School, Brigidine College, St Peters Lutheran College, Ambrose Treacy College and Holy Family Primary School.&nbsp;

The Audrey, currently under construction by the building arm of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/savve-developments-construction">Savve Developments &amp; Construction</a>, has been met with keen buyer interest, with over 70 per cent of the apartments already spoken for.

The project was&nbsp;initially approved to deliver 35 apartments across eight storeys upon completion, however, now just 30 units will be delivered following several amalgamations.

Food and beverage tenancies will take up the ground floor. There will also be office space.
